Taylor Swift's "Red" Achieves Biggest Sales Week for an Album Since 2002
(NEW YORK) -- Taylor Swift's punishing promotional schedule for her album Red, which saw her performing on nearly every TV show you can think of, has really paid off: the album's set a sales record.
Billboard reports that according to Nielsen Soundscan, Red sold 1.208 million copies its first week in stores. That's more than any album has sold in a single week since 2002, when Eminem sold 1.322 million copies of his album The Eminem Show. With those sales, it's no surprise that Red also debuts at #1 on the Billboard album chart: it's her third chart-topper.
The real achievement here is that Taylor is now the only woman ever to have two million-selling weeks since SoundScan started keeping track of album sales in 1991. Her last album, 2010's Speak Now, sold 1.047 million copies in its first week.
Red is only the 18th album ever to sell a million or more copies in a week in the Soundscan era.

RaeLynn Celebrates Miranda Lambert and Pistol Annies Show by Sharing Photo
Country up and comer RaeLynn celebrated opening for her "big sister" and No. 1 supporter Miranda Lambert –that is, No. 1 supporter after her 'The Voice' coach and Lambert's hubby Blake Shelton– by sharing an amazing photo of the backstage happenings! Lambert's Pistol Annies were also on the bill. Girl power was in full effect.
Lambert issued a hell-yeah, high-five style tweet about RaeLynn's performance at the Bismarck Civic Center in North Dakota last night (Aug. 10), since she's taken the teen under wing. The young singer, newly-signed to Republic Nashville, shared a candid photo of herself and the ladies of Lambert's all-girl trio Pistols Annies backstage.
The gals are totally goofing off and having a good time, making funny faces, sticking out their tongues, rolling their eyes and leaning on one another. It's like a backstage, ladies-only slumber party. RaeLynn has to be having the time of her life and this playful pic proves it.
RaeLynn tweeted: "Great show with my Sister Annie's @Miranda_Lambert, @guitarleena and @ashleymonroe!! Love them so much!" It's all-in-the-family for RaeLynn and her extended 'The Voice' crew. Shelton really did embrace his former charge beyond the show.
Below is Lambert's proud tweet about RaeLynn "killing it," which Shelton then retweeted.
"@miranda_lambert: @raelynnofficial is killing it on her first show ever! I'm so proud of her!"I love this more than anybody knows…

Farewell Texas Stadium
Hey Cowboy Fans!
I hope this finds you all well. Until a moment ago, my heart was heavy about the Farewell of Texas Stadium. A very dear friend sent a video to me tonight. It was Yogi Berra talking about the end of Yankee Stadium. Now, I'm no Yankee fan but I know who Yogi is and I was touched by his words. I found a great deal of inspiration and strength in this 2 minute video… and I shed a few more tears because he was right.
I realized that I won't miss this place. It will live on forever through US… the fans. We have priceless memories inside of each of us that, if we think real hard, we can go back to that moment in time and live it over and over again. Soon, we will move into our new home… a home even more worthy of America's Team; even though we never thought we would see the day that something could replace our beloved Texas Stadium.
During the three days at Farewell Fest, I met fans of all ages that were eager to share the most amazing stories of the Cowboys and Texas Stadium. Thankfully, I was with friends that kept me laughing or I might have spent the weekend in tears! I was having the hardest time with this because as long as I can remember, Texas Stadium and the Dallas Cowboys have been hand in hand. I heard stories of joy and celebration, heart-ache and disappointment… and everything in between. There was one common theme to these stories that was unspoken between us but understood: WE ARE FANS OF THE DALLAS COWBOYS and we will follow them where ever they may go.
The other unspoken theme that I did not realize until I watched this video of Yogi Berra was: Texas Stadium WILL live on forever. While this seems like the end, it is really only the beginning! This move opens doors to us that we had only experienced in our dreams: a Super Bowl in our house, for instance! The idea of this opens the doors to many more dreams like our Dallas Cowboys WINNING a Super Bowl at home and much MUCH more! Like the Dallas Cowboys, we can now enjoy these thoughts that are larger than life in a stadium that can be seen from space!
I am not old enough to remember Texas Stadiums first moments of glory. I have said many times, "Man, I wish I had been there then." I AM GOING TO GET MY CHANCE!! My children will some day sit down with their grandchildren and say, "Your great-grandma and great-grandpa took me to Texas Stadium when I was your age. They were there the first time the Cowboys played in the stadium in Arlington."
WOW! I get my chance and SO DO YOU!! Suddenly, I am no longer heart heavy. I am more excited than ever!! So, to my friend that send me the video of Yogi: THANK YOU! Thank you from the bottom of my star-shaped heart! I will not soon forget that through the miles and miles that separate us, you understood what I was going through and knew exactly what I needed to see and hear. Which, of course, reminds me of how lucky I am… HOW LUCKY WE ALL ARE right here, right now… to be FANS OF THE GREATEST NFL TEAM IN THE WORLD!
And, I'm lucky to be friends with the GREATEST FANS of the GREATEST TEAM: America's Team! For that, I want give each of you a personal THANK YOU! Thank you for allowing me to come into your lives each week. I suddenly feel like the luckiest fan in the world and I hope you do, too.
I'm going to close with two videos I made special for you… My LoneStarStruck family and friends. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed having the opportunity to be in the right place at the right time.
PS. The second video gives you information about where you can see MORE videos from Farewell Fest such as: player interviews, sights and sounds and much much more!

With a history steeped in entrepreneurship, Millicent Parker Oldham has joined the family ranks as the latest business owner.
Oldham, the daughter of Ted and Rhonda Parker of Mer Rouge, has opened Salon Rouge, a beauty shop in Mer Rouge, making her the third and final daughter to own her own business. She is following in older sister Amanda Parker Hogan's beautician footsteps, in addition to following family tradition.
Ted Parker, the owner of Med-Life Ambulance, began his career as an entrepreneur with his father, former Mer Rouge Mayor, T.J. Parker, when the pair bought Parker Chevrolet in Mer Rouge in 1965. The younger Parker later started Med-Life Ambulance in Mer Rouge, which expanded to cover the entire Morehouse Parish and then into Richland Parish
But, Oldham's legacy does not end with her father. Her mother's parents, Scout and Opal Gentry owned a very successful dress shop aptly named Gentry's, which was managed by Rhonda.
Oldham, who graduated from Prairie View Academy and attended the universities of Louisiana Lafayette and Monroe, began watching sister Amanda, and knew she had found what she wanted to do for the rest of her life.
"I had always been interested in doing hair and make-up," said Oldham. "But, seeing Amanda's career and success was when I discovered my passion for them."
Oldham began taking classes at the Bastrop Beauty School in 2007 and has never looked back. She worked at Hogan's Salon Couture for four years before Hogan decided to sell her shop and simplify her life.
At that point, Oldham decided to open her own salon in the town where she grew up.
I have always wanted a place of my own," said Oldham. "And, there is no better place in the world than right here at home."
Oldham's shop is open by appointment only and she offers a wide variety of services including blow drying and style, colors and highlights and smoothing treatments such as the popular Brazilian Blowout. She has plans to expand her services in the future but is content to build her business gradually.
Oldham's oldest sister, Emily Cage, and husband Shelby recently opened An Advanced Roof, a roofing business in Shreveport.
To contact Oldham, call her at 318.282.2422 or friend her on facebook at email@example.com.

Can you lift a 50 pound bag of flour?
Dear Blog Readers,
You are all absolutely the best. My hearing went very well, and my calm, collected presentation of the facts, combined with my fantastic friend/witness Paul and my former army corporal lawyer, was aided by the fact that my Former Employer and Office Manager (who testified for him) rolled their eyes, smirked, snickered, and snorted while I testified. I do not exaggerate. It could not have been clearer how much they hate me, which turns my stomach, even thinking about it now, but which actually works in my favor because my case is that they fired me to be vindictive.
I will hear in another two weeks and post immediately, of course.
In the meantime, I am deadline knitting and also working on a short article for a major fiber arts publication. Here I am at Yarns in the Farms on Saturday (I bought some Noro Taiyo. It was irresistible. And I haven't felt that about a yarn in a while).
And I am physically spent. My academically and administratively conditioned body, even with all the biking and the weight training, needs to get used to working really hard all day long. For now, I have the weekend off, going with Chris to Hartford CT, where he is racing in the Hartford Criterium (I will be having a beer, knitting, and watching) and where we will stay in a bed and breakfast and sleep. Have a great weekend!

gps update timer
is there any way to adjust the gps track timer for tangoGPS? i ask because while driving or moving in an object with a high velocity the gps track data is very clean. when walking or biking the data can be very noisy even in an open area. so my thinking is by having a switch / command something that i could enable when im walking i could then use that data.--Jerjozwik 15:48, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
How do I set the map on the command line with SHR?
I just tried to change the directory for the storage of the Maps from main memory to the SD card. Since TangoGPS crashed using the GUI, I tried it the command line way described on the wiki. There were some error message: "Using **pending_return in dbus_connection_send_with_reply_setup() without pending_setup is deprecated and strongly discouraged". The change did work though -- until I did a opkg upgrade. After the system seemed to be broken. For example: Trying to access the power configuration on the GUI I got the error message "Couldn't connect to FSO" and "Coundln't connect to FSO or ophonekitd". Well, I guess I will have to reflash again...

STOCKTON - Two weeks ago, Affordable Fence & General Construction, a 38-year-old family-owned business, moved to a new location on North Union Street just east of downtown. Saturday night, their warehouse burned to the ground, taking hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment, material and business records with it.
STOCKTON - Two weeks ago, Affordable Fence & General Construction, a 38-year-old family-owned business, moved to a new location on North Union Street just east of downtown. Saturday night, their warehouse burned to the ground, taking hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment, material and business records with it.
It was the site of the former Union Ice Co., and the spectacular blaze that lit up the evening sky attracted hundreds of onlookers from the neighborhood as firefighters from around the city worked to suppress the three-alarm inferno.
Monday afternoon, Stockton firefighters were still on the scene dousing hot spots as a forklift driver dumped large chunks of rubble, a utility crew tore up the street to remove an old gas line and others decided how to safely take down the charred tin walls that remained upright.
"We've come too far and worked too hard for this to stop us," said Affordable Fence co-owner Thomas Bell, 30. Bell and his partner, Bill Williams Sr., 79, who founded the company in 1975, vowed to keep the business going as best they can and keep their eight to 10 employees working.
"We're not going to let anybody go. We are extremely busy right now. We had 40 jobs on the board," said Bell, referring to the job board that was consumed by the fire. Luckily, office manager Kim Bingaman snapped a photo of the job board before Affordable Fence moved from its former Mariposa Road location.
As for estimates, job plans, computers and business files, those are all gone, Bell said. So is a 2005 truck, a 30-year-old Bobcat and a newer forklift.
"I had just bought 800 square feet of commercial grade tile flooring for the office. That's all gone," Williams said.
In all, Williams estimated Affordable Fence lost $250,000 in materials and equipment and quite possibly $250,000 in business.
While the company has insurance, Bell indicated all the losses might not be covered.
"If we get any hiccups, this could bankrupt us. If the insurance company plays hardball, I will have to get an attorney," Bell said.
The 425 N. Union St. warehouse, between East Lindsay and East Fremont streets, had been empty for some time and was regularly vandalized, according to Bell. He said there was even evidence that people had been squatting there when they purchased the site.
Fire investigators looking into a cause are considering two possible scenarios: workers doing remodeling up to 80 minutes before the fire was reported may have sparked something; or vagrants might have broken in and started it.
Before the worst of the rubble was removed Monday, police were expected to bring in cadaver dogs to search for human remains, a standard procedure on large building fires, Fire Department Battalion Chief Rick Stubstad said.
Shortly before 6 p.m. Monday, flames had reignited in the rubble and fire crews were called back to the scene.
Anyone wishing to contact Affordable Fence can call Bill Williams at (209) 649-9894 or Thomas Bell at (209) 406-9391.

COLUMBIA, SC (AP) - A man accused of abducting a Columbia teen last seen more than two months ago is expected in court on a federal ammunition charge.
Records show Freddie Grant is scheduled to appear in federal court in Columbia on Tuesday.
Earlier this month, Grant pleaded not guilty to being a felon in possession of ammunition.
Gabrielle Swainson was last seen by her mother at around 4 a.m. on August 18. That month, Grant was charged with kidnapping the missing teen after her blood was found on duct tape near his home.
Authorities also found .38-caliber bullets and shells for a 12-gauge shotgun - ammunition Grant isn't allowed to have as a convicted felon.
Authorities have said Grant had dated the 15-year-old's mother and did yard work for the family.

2007 Winter Fancy Food Show - Part 5 (Superfruits)
2007 Winter Fancy Food Show - Part 5 (Superfruits)
Looks like 2007 is the year of the superfruits. Over the last few years, the solid pomegranate and his pals blueberry and cranberry have done a lot of the groundwork (now almost everyone knows what antioxidants are). With their help, the world is ready for more. While I was at the Fancy Food Show, I noticed that everyone who didn't have a pomegranate flavor, now has one, and those that already did, now have something new. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the superfruits.
- Pomegranate - The trend is still going strong. It's now available as ice cream, soda, organic lollipops and Jelly Bellys.
- Goji Berries (aka Wolfberry) - These are sold dehydrated (a bit like raisins) and are believed to enhance the immune system, improve eyesight, and a bunch of other magical medical properties. I guess the western world is finally learning what the Chinese have known for years. You can buy them plain for snacking, but expect to see them in a lot of your granola bars, cookies, etc.
- Açaí - Another super antioxidant fruit (I imagine this one is going to give pomegranate a run for its money). Since these tiny Amazonian berries don't travel well, they're usually sold in the form of flavoring or juice. One of the featured items was the açaí flavored coconut water.
- YumBerry - From the outside, this Chinese fruit looks like it's part of the lychee family. However, once opened, the inside is a deep hue. You'll have a hard time finding these fresh, but soon you'll be able to drink the juice.
- Mangosteen - Although it has the word mango in its name, this highly antioxidant fruit does not taste anything like mangoes. It's currently unavailable in the US (except Hawaii), but that may be changing soon. Until then, you'll have to get the health benefits from the actual mangosteen nectar.
Oh and while I'm on the subject of fruits, there was a new one from Chile called Carica. It was golden yellow and tasted like a mixture of mango, papaya, apricot and pineapple and was definitely one of the show highlights (in fact almost everyone who went to the show ended up talking about this one). Currently it's not available fresh in the US, but Tamaya Gourmet is importing it jarred in a sweet natural syrup (which would be great in drinks, salads, etc.). Definitely worth seeking out.
Check out some of the images from the show:

Cluster munitions maim and kill Iraqis every day
10 November 2010
Iraq - Every year hundreds of Iraqis are killed or maimed by cluster munitions and landmines, due to Iraq's contamination of millions of explosive remnants of war (ERW). According to Iraqi figures, the contamination claimed 14,000 victims between 1991 and 2007, while in the three Kurdish governorates the estimated number of victims (both injuries and deaths) was 8,174 between 1991 and 2008.
Around one million Iraqi children are affected by mines and unexploded ordinance (UXOs), with some 2,000 children (a quarter of all victims) maimed or killed due to cluster bomblets since 1991. It is believed, according to the Landmine Impact Survey from 2006, that 1,730 square kilometres of land in Iraq are contaminated, affecting more than 1.6 million Iraqis in some 4,000 communities across the country.
According to a joint UNICEF-UNDP report, 'Overview of Landmines and Explosive Remnants of War in Iraq' released in July 2009, an estimated 2.66 million cluster bomblets and 20 million landmines are contaminating Iraq's oil fields and farmlands. The contamination kills and ruins lives randomly, and significantly impedes both the economic recovery of Iraqis and their country. The landmines were planted in areas bordering Iran, a legacy of the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq War, while the millions of unexploded cluster munitions were dropped during the 1991 Gulf War and 2003 conflict.
To provide specialized care and services for mine victims, UNDP — with funding from Japan and Australia — supports rehabilitation centres in the three Kurdish governorates, providing over 10,000 physiotherapy sessions, 4,500 mobility aids and nearly 4,800 ortho-prosthetic devices. Under UNDP's technical supervision, Iraqi operators have cleared 15 million square metres of land, helping 1,500 families return to their farms — and getting their 2,400 children back to school.
Iraq's signature of the Mine Ban Treaty came into force in February 2008. Under the terms of the Convention, Iraq must clear all areas containing or suspected to contain anti-personnel mines before February 2018.
For the past 10 years, UNICEF has supported the Mine Risk Education Programme in Iraq where two million people received information and prevention tools on the dangers of mines and explosive remnants of war. UNDP coordinates UN Mine Action activities in Iraq, supporting the Iraqi Government and civilian mine action authorities through building an ERW clearing capacity and developing a coordination and regulatory framework on mine action.

PORTSMOUTH — A 24-year-old Portsmouth High School graduate was arrested and charged with starting the $400 million fire on board the USS Miami.
According to documents filed in federal court in Maine on Monday, Casey James Fury, a civilian working at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, confessed to starting the May 23 blaze.
Investigators from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service say Fury, a painter and sandblaster, is also responsible for starting a second fire that broke out near the same submarine in June.
According to the criminal complaint, Fury initially denied any involvement in either of the fires, but eventually confessed to the June fire. He then also confessed to starting the initial fire while undergoing a polygraph test in July, according to the complaint.
Fury faces two counts of arson, and was scheduled to appear in court on Monday afternoon.
According to court documents, Fury started his shift at approximately 4 p.m. on May 23, and was working in the forward area of the torpedo room with another civilian employee shortly before the fire.
At the time, Fury was taking medications for anxiety, depression, allergies and trouble sleeping, according to the criminal complaint.
Fury told investigators at approximately 5:30 p.m., his "anxiety started to get really bad," so he grabbed his cigarettes and a lighter, walked up a staircase to the middle level of the ship, and entered one of the state rooms. Fury allegedly found and set fire to several rags stored inside a bag located on the top of a bunk-bed.
"The reason he set the fire was to get out of work," an NCIS agent wrote in the criminal complaint against Fury.
The U.S. Navy convened a special investigative panel to probe the circumstances behind the fire, including its causes and the response to the fire.
More than 100 firefighters helped to extinguish the blaze, which spread through the forward areas of the vessel and continued to burn for more than 10 hours before it was extinguished.
Investigators initially said they believed the fire was started by an undisclosed "heat source" that was sucked into a vacuum, igniting the debris within.
The Navy has approximated the damage to the submarine at $400 million, plus another $40 million for so-called "secondary effects," such as disruption to other planned work across all Navy shipyards and the potential need to hire private contractors.
Seven people also suffered minor injuries while helping to push back flames inside the cramped quarters of the ship.
Fury had no prior arrests in Portsmouth, according to a police department spokesman there. He has been involved in one car accident and was a witness to an assault in 2005, the spokesman said.

The 1950s computer was not for the everyman, unless, of course, that everyman had a government-defense budget to work with.
Well in 1956, as it so happens, there was one man-about-town who had the opportunity to work with a $238 million military computer. And what did this industrious artist do with the unprecedented power at his fingertips? Make outlines of naked chicks, naturally.
As The Atlantic notes, this drawing of a pin-up girl, made with technology originally intended for protection in an apocalyptic scenario, was probably the first ever human likeness seen on a computer screen.
And this, boys and girls, is how the prologue to Snapchat was born. [The Atlantic]

NORTON, Mass. - Coming from as many as 13 down in the second half to within two with 36 seconds to go, the No. 11 MIT men's basketball team was unable to rally all the way back, falling to Wheaton, 84-77, in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) action on Wednesday night. The Lyons connected on 20 of 23 foul shots in the second half, including seven-of-eight in the final minute to secure the win. Mitchell Kates had a solid all-around game with 24 points, eight assists and six rebounds. Noel Hollingsworth scored 21 points and grabbed 11 boards, his third game of at least 20 points and 10 rebounds in the last four games.
MIT has now lost a pair of games to the Wheaton, who stands at 9-14 and 5-6 in the NEWMAC, but is unbeaten against the rest of Division III on the year. The Engineers' ledger moves to 21-3 overall and 9-2 in conference play.
Trailing by 10 with just over four minutes to go, the Engineers reeled off an 8-2 run, capped by a Jimmy Burke three-pointer with 1:51 remaining, to get within four. Tech nearly forced a Wheaton turnover on the ensuing possession but Anthony Weeks corralled the loose ball and drove to the basket for a layup to put Wheaton back up six. Burke's three-ball at the other end rimmed out and Weeks secured the rebound.
The Lyons went one-of-two on successive trips to the foul line to keep MIT's faint hopes alive. After missing his second free throw with 53 seconds remaining, Kates drew a foul on the rebound and promptly knocked down the two shots to get Tech back within three. Two possessions later, Wheaton was unable to secure the rebound after Kates' miss from three and Hollingsworth drew a three-point play, closing the gap to two with 36 seconds to go. However, Wheaton would make five-of-six from the line down the stretch to secure its second win of the year over MIT.
After the Lyons opened up a 17-11 lead seven and a half minutes into the game, the Cardinal and Grey went on an 18-0 run over the next 6:07 for a 12-point advantage, its largest of the night. Burke knocked down a pair of three's during the stretch and Hollingsworth added six points of his own. Wheaton battled back over the rest of the frame getting within six at the half. The hosts then opened the half with 13 straight points, going up seven before Hollingsworth stopped the run with a layup with 15:58 to go.
Kates tied a career high with eight assists while the 24 points was his second highest total of the year. Burke added 15 points in the losing effort. MIT grabbed 17 offensive rebounds while attempting a season-high 82 shots from the field.
MIT will close out the regular season on Saturday, February 20 at Springfield College. The Engineers will look to wrap up the NEWMAC regular season crown and can do so with a win over the second-place Pride.

OSWEGO, NY– The Lake Ontario Event and Conference Center in Oswego provided an elegant backdrop on Saturday night as a large crowd gathered to honor some of the top 2013 Oswego Speedway achievers from the Novelis Supermodified and PathFinder Bank race divisions.
A group of six worthy inductees also entered the Oswego Speedway Mitchell's Speedway Press Hall of Fame.
The official fan club of Oswego Speedway, the Eagles Fan Club, were also on hand to pass out monies they raised during the season and to hand out several of its own coveted awards.
Presentation of some of the individual awards began the program. The Ed Clark Safety Crew Spirit Award, which went to John Byrnes, a long time safety crewmember. The Oswego Speedway Recognition Award was presented to Butch and Lorraine Kisselstein who work tirelessly each race night; Butch on the safety jeep and Lorraine as the pace truck driver. The annual Lois Matczak Woman of the Year award, sponsored by Skip Matczak, went quite deservedly to Debbie Bond who not only works in the speedway office doing many jobs, but also helps coordinate her husband Mike's race efforts in the SBS class.
Something new was added this year in the Turning Stone Casino sponsored Favorite Driver Award, which was voted on by the fans throughout the season. Oswego's Joe Gosek took home this popular award.
The Eagles Fan Club who work unceasingly each season to raise extra money for the drivers' point funds, also presented two coveted awards in the Jim Shampine and Tony White memorial awards. Gosek Racing, which recently lost one of their founders in Tony Osetek, was presented the Jim Shampine Memorial award. Joe Gosek, in the bittersweet moment, dedicated the award to Tony whom he attributes as the man who helped start Gosek on his illustrious career.
The Eagles Fan Club Tony White award went for the first time to a father and son team, Dennis Rupert Sr. and Jr. who not only find time to work on their own SBS mount but are always willing to go the extra mile for someone else in the pits who needs help.
Chris Smith, General Manager of Novelis was on hand to assist with the Novelis Supermodified awards and spoke briefly on how the annual can donations and the money it garners at the track have helped Novelis fund a traveling math and science project which visits area schools. Smith indicated that over 1000 students have benefited by the can collection at the Oswego Speedway, which since inception has totaled over 800,000 cans. Several nights each season fans may bring cans to the track and those bringing the highest numbers are rewarded with various items.
The top ten Novelis Supermodified teams were honored with 2013 champion Otto Sitterly taking a moment to thank his car owner John Nicotra, his family and crew for another successful year. Sitterly's sixth championship ranks him with an elite group who has achieved similar title numbers including Nolan Swift, Jim Shampine and Bentley Warren. The remainder of the top ten, in descending order were Joe Gosek, Shaun Gosselin, David Gruel, Pat Lavery, Dave Danzer, Michael Barnes, Michael Muldoon, Dan Connors and Brandon Bellinger.
Jamesville's Tony Steiner became the Oswego Speedway Rookie of the Year by virtue of his fifteenth place finish in the competitive point standings, just beating out Fultonian Clayt Brewer III by 29 points for the title. Third generation supermodified driver Michael Muldoon, who finished eighth in the Novels super points, received the Most Improved Driver honors.
The Jake's Automotive Supermodified Crew of the Year honors went to Gosselin Racing, which picked up two feature wins in 2013 and the Jake's Automotive Supermodified Car Owner of the Year went to John Nicotra.
Ron Tascarella of PathFinder Bank, title sponsor of the Small Block Supermodified division at Oswego also spoke briefly about the division, which continues to grow each season, and the affiliation the bank has with the class.
Russ Brown, 2013 PathFinder Bank SBS champion spoke briefly of his fifth title, and more than likely his last as he indicated he has promised his family that this would be the last full season of any racing. Besides his competition at Oswego, which dates back to his first title in 1992, Russ has participated in many other race divisions including a stint in the supermodifieds.
Mexico's Mike Bond was a close runner-up to Brown in the spirited title chase, trailed by Jason Simmons, Jay Andrews, Kreig Heroth, Jon Tesoriero (also Most Improved Driver), Andrew Schartner, Dalton Doyle, Rob Pullen and Jack Patrick in the SBS top ten.
The PathFinder Bank Butler Disposal Rookie of the Year Honors went to former dirt pilot Jeremy Pitcher who picked up his a feature win in his first year at Oswego on his way to that title.
The Jake's Automotive SBS Car Owner of the Year award was presented to Jason Simmons, who finished third in the standings. The Jake's SBS Crew of the Year award sent to the Four 7777 Motorsports team which fielded four cars during the season, two of which finished in the top ten (Mike Bond and Jon Tesoriero).
The Mitchell's Speedway Press 2013 Hall of Fame Inductees included legendary drivers Mike Ordway Sr. (supermodifieds) and Dean Hoag (SBS and supers). Clay's Soule Racing was honored as car owners whose participation in Oswego racing began with the track's inception in the late 50s when Jim Soule began and into the present with son Dan Soule at the helm of the team. Robert "Bud" Young who resides in Fulton, NY, was honored with induction for his long and capable service on the Oswego Speedway ambulance crew. Mexico, NY photographer Bill Hartwell, whose photography over the years have and will preserve the long and storied history of the speedway, was among the class of 2013 and Berrien Springs, Michigan's Dave Paul, who was a member of the early "Michigander" days of supermodifieds, was inducted under the Special Achievement category for his short and successful career at Oswego before moving on to USAC competition.
Romey Caruso gave the invocation to begin the night while, MC's Roy Sova and Joe Marotta closed out the ceremonies and Millennium Music's Ron Gray took over to provide the music to end a very memorable evening for all those in attendance.

Marianne Cabot, age 62, passed away on Nov. 23, 2013, at her home in Scott Valley.
Marianne Cabot, age 62, passed away on Nov. 23, 2013, at her home in Scott Valley.
She is survived by her husband, Craig Cabot; two children, Marc Cabot and Kristi Cabot; and her brothers and sisters, Debra, Kenneth, Jeffrey, John and Dana.
Marianne was born on Aug. 21, 1951, in Woodland, Calif., and moved to the Salmon River with her family at age 4. She attended the Forks of Salmon School from kindergarten through eighth grade and later Fort Jones High School, followed by two years at College of the Siskiyous. After the 1964 Salmon River flood, Marianne and her family relocated to Scott Valley and established the Scott Valley Orchard and Winery.
Marianne's passion for the outdoors led her to an 18-year career as a surveyor's assistant. Her love for horses and backpacking began at an early age and resulted in countless trips into the Marble Mountain Wilderness – many times starting on the valley floor with her horse, Desquite, and riding solo into the wilderness for multi-night trips. Marianne's other hobbies included gardening, photography and tending her 40 chickens.
Marianne met Craig in 1978 and they were married in 1981. Together, they purchased 20 acres in Quartz Valley, and built the house where they raised their children. Marianne's hard work ethic, love of the outdoors, animals and family are all qualities that she instilled in her family.
A service for Marianne will be held on Monday, Dec. 2, at 10:30 a.m. at Sacred Heart Church in Fort Jones. A potluck gathering will be held after across the street at the Parish Hall.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to one of these organizations: Disabled American Veterans, Scott Valley Scholarships or Kidder Creek Camps. Online condolences may be made at www.girdnerfuneralchapel.com. Girdner's is assisting the family.
"We will miss you very much."

Angels fall victim to familiar script in Arlington
ARLINGTON -- Four games at Rangers Ballpark, four losses by walk-off homers.
That's a hard thing to wrap your head around, never mind live through.View Full Game Coverage
ARLINGTON -- Four games at Rangers Ballpark, four losses by walk-off homers.
That's a hard thing to wrap your head around, never mind live through.View Full Game Coverage
"It's definitely weird," said Angels reliever Michael Kohn, who gave up the latest one to Jurickson Profar in Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Rangers. "I personally haven't made pitches here, and I've gotten beat every time I've done that. I'm kind of speechless. It's kind of weird. I really don't know what to say."
The Angels can say they blew an opportunity to crush their division rivals' playoff hopes, though they'll have three other chances.
Tied at 5 in the top of the ninth, with one out and Josh Hamilton on third base, Joe Nathan struck out Kole Calhoun and Mark Trumbo to end the inning. Then, leading off the bottom half as a pinch-hitter, Profar got a 1-1, 95-mph fastball right down the middle and crushed it over the right-field fence to keep the Rangers in the thick of the American League Wild Card race -- one game behind the Indians for the second spot and two back of the Rays.
"I was just trying to have a good at-bat, get on base," Profar said after delivering what was only the Rangers' seventh win in their last 20 games. "I made a perfect swing and it went out."
Jerome Williams battled through five high-stress innings to give up only three first-inning runs and Trumbo went 3-for-5 with his career-high 100th RBI, snapping an 0-for-25 slump. But the Angels -- winners of 23 of 32 heading in, and 16 of their last 20 on the road -- lost in an all-too-familiar fashion.
On July 29, Ernesto Frieri gave up ninth-inning solo homers to A.J. Pierzynski and Geovany Soto in a 4-3 loss. On July 30, the Angels blew four leads and Daniel Stange served up a two-out, three-run shot to Leonys Martin in the 11th inning of a 14-11 loss. On July 31, it was Kohn who checked into a tied game in the ninth and gave up a leadoff homer to Adrian Beltre in a 2-1 loss.
Nearly two months later, in the Angels' next visit to Arlington, almost the exact same scene played out.
"I don't like this place so much," Kohn said after his fourth loss.
The Angels have won just one of their last eight games at Rangers Ballpark dating back to the 2012 finale, the second of a doubleheader on Sept. 30 that crushed their playoff hopes, and their last four have come in the worst possible way.
"It is what it is," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said, his club losing on the last at-bat for the 16th time this season. "Those guys battled back and beat us. We haven't held leads the way we can in this ballpark at times, and that's what happens. There are some times we've come in here and played well and held leads. It's just this year has been rough on us."
The Angels built a one-run lead thanks to a three-run second against Matt Garza, the product of a franchise-record four errors in one inning by the Rangers, and Williams left after five in position to reel off his fifth straight victory.
Instead, the 31-year-old right-hander finished the 2013 season with a no-decision -- but on a high note nonetheless.
In his last eight games (seven starts), Williams went 4-1 with a 3.66 ERA to drop his mark to 4.57 in 169 1/3 innings on the year. This December, the Angels will have a tough non-tender decision with Williams, whose due to make about $3 million in his final year of arbitration.
"Hopefully, it pleads my case for next year," he said.
"I have so much respect for what he did any time the team needed it," Scioscia added, "whether it was going to the bullpen or coming out of the bullpen to start or whether he was starting on a couple days' rest at times. This guy was just a great teammate."

Now, it's true that peanuts and penis sound very similar and there has been numerous jokes about it. Even at home when I was younger my siblings used to say "Want some penis butter with your toast?" Of course, we laugh at this now but kids and even adults still like to joke about it.
If you are in school, I would definitely make sure you make the "T" sound come as clear as a bell as the teacher wants to knows you are talking about a famous pianist and not a famous penis.
Try online dictionaries, that's my best bet.

Visit to the Ob-Gyn
Ha ha. Just kidding, of course. No wonder my neck hurt at the end of the 13.1 miles last weekend.
And you wouldn't understand from this photo why I went to visit the Ob-Gyn on Tuesday.
My chief complaint: enlarged abdomen
As I have mentioned before, about every other day, someone asks me how far I am along or says that I look so cute pregnant. Thus, I becamse worried I had ovarian cancer causing bloating, or some sort of elarged uterus. Diastasis recti has aslo been mentioned here as a possible explantion. He examined my abdomen and laughed at my self-diagnosis of diastasis recti. "No way that's the explantion" he said confidently.
Move onto the internal exam and he says my ovaries were like two little walnuts (doctors love food analogies). Then he made a small cup with one hand and said my uterus could fit in it. I imagined my uterus being the size of a little, curled up mouse. So, I left with no explanation, but most importantly the reassurance that nothing was terribly wrong.
The next morning, the pilates instructor greeted me with "your belly is growing so nicely!" Can you blame me for not wanting to go out in public again? ...
Well, so much for that thought. There is a race tomorrow that will be run by the author of this blog and you will have to check back to find out what it is.

I was hoping you had gotten a answer since I have a similar problem, there have been days when I truly wonder if I am somehow 4-5 months pregnant and didn't know it! Curious, what was his reason for saying it wasn't diastasis? That is what I often hear.
Good luck with the race :)
- 2 June 2012 at 03:12
I am right there with you both. I am six months postpartum with my second child and also wondering why my belly's growing (I suspected diastasis as well ... and then wondered if I could be pregnant AGAIN? It is eerily similar to my 5-mo preggers belly) The curious thing is that my belly was much flatter in the early postpartum months ... seems the more I run, the more "pregnant" I appear. It's maddening! This did not happen with my first child.

ok, i have a diagnosis for you. it came to me when i was reading an article about a canadian cyclist who has an exceptiona; lung capacity of 8.3 L "so large that his lungs push down on stomach giving him his characteristic paunch" - there you go - exceptional lung capacity as a cause for stomach paunch. but of course you know that your stomach appears to stick out mostly bc you are thin so it looks relatively large.
btw la cocotte looked at your blog, saw the picture of el guapo in your sidebar and said "c'est ma soeur!". upon closer look i realized el guapo was wearing one of the outfits you sent for squeaker. good eyes!

Hey Jen, good question. I didn't really explain well - He said it was too late post-partum and then he examined my abdomen and said I didn't have diastasis. I maybe would have doubted him if he hand't seemed so confident about it- like as if he was sick of women coming in with this self-diagnosis.
- 3 June 2012 at 14:31

PPC- it's lung capacity all the way. I have no excuse- I should be faster than SR:.

Amy- all I have to say is EXACTLY. Okay, I will say more. I had nothing like this after Christian. It IS maddening. And yes, it is GETTING BIGGER. And I've cut out so much from my diet that going shopping is becoming expensive and time-consuming.

"with no explanation"--what, so learning that your uterus is a little smaller than a walnut isn't a good enough explanation for you of why your belly is swollen?;)

Hela Riemer
Born: April 3, 1901
Dukla, Poland
Hela was raised in Dukla, a Polish village near the Czech border. In 1928 she married Elimelech Riemer and the couple settled in Berlin. Two years later, their only child, Edith, was born. The Riemers lived in an apartment building that housed offices of the Communist Party of Germany.
1933-39: Six years ago, in 1933, the Nazis accused our family of breaking into the Communist Party's offices, so we escaped to a Polish town near the German border. A few days ago, just before the German invasion [of Poland], we fled again. Elimelech and I split up, and arranged to meet in Lvov. But the invading Germans and Soviets have now divided Poland. Edith and I are stranded in the German sector; my husband, in the Soviet one.
1940-42: Edith and I have made our way to Dukla, where my parents live. Life here under German occupation has been relatively quiet until today, August 13, 1942. The Germans have ordered all Jews, except for those with certain jobs, to gather in the town square. My brother, who has such a job, has been promised one for me as well, so we're exempted from reporting. I'm afraid for 12-year-old Edith, my mother and my sister. I've told them not to report to the square and to hide in our apartment building's cellar.
That day all of Dukla's Jews, including Hela, were taken to a nearby forest and shot. Hela's daughter, mother and sister hid in the cellar and were not found by the Germans.

Here is part three. It will focus on Waist, Legs, Boots, and rings. As always please feel free post comments and questions if you have other suggestions or ideas.
1. [Windhawk Belt] - BoP Crafted - Leatherworking - I really hate to list another BoP crafted item as the number one choice but the Windhawk set is very nice and leatherworking is a fairly common profession among druids. This is a very well rounded belt with a lot of damage. It has almost everything a moonkin could ask for. It has lightly less DPS stats than other available items but it makes up for it with a lot of mana regen.
2. [Girdle of Ruination] - BoE Crafted - Tailoring - This belt is very expensive and requires at least 26 primals and a Primal Nether to craft. However it is an awesome belt that is comparable to the DPS belts found in Kara.
3. [Moonrage Girdle] - Steamvaults - Hydromancer Thespia - There are better cloth options below but this is the best leather belt available if you are not a leatherworker. It has a good amount of damage and crit. It also has quite a bit of spirit but lacks stamina.
Honorable Mentions - [Sash of Serpentra] & [A'dal's Gift]
1. [Spellstrike Pants] - BoE Crafted - Tailoring - Like the hood it doesn't have a lot of base stats but it makes up for it with an orgy of damage stats. 46 Spell damage, 26 Spell Crit, 22 Spell Hit, and 3 sockets. If you are a tailor you also get a very nice set bonus with the hood. This is by far the best option pre-kara, and could last you quite a while.
2. [Kurenai Kilt] (H) - Rep Reward Revered - Kurenai - These legs lack base stats but they have a ton of damage and crit. By far the best leather option available even from heroics, and they are so easy to get. Just questing through Nagrand should give you 90% of the rep you will need. In my opinion there are only two reasons you shouldn't use these pants. 1. You have the Spellstrike Pants. 2. You need more base stats. If you feel you need more base stats look at the two honorable mentions.
Honorable Mentions: [Trousers of Oblivion] & [Incanter's Trousers]
1. [Shattrath Jumpers] - Dungeon Quest - Into the Heart of the Labyrinth - There are n0t that many options for boots, and the two listed are almost equal. These are very easy to get and have slightly more damage if you ignore the socket bonus. That is why they are listed first.
2. [Moonstrider Boots] - Sethekk Halls - Darkweaver Syth - I nice set of boots with all around good stats. It has a little less damage that the boots above and that is why it is ranked second. However it does have more mana regen that can be very important in early raiding.
Rings: There are not a ton of good rings but you will replace your second one with the Violet Signet very quickly.
1. [Ashyen's Gift] - Exalted Rep Reward - Cenarion Expedition - This ring can be a little tough to get but is very nice if you can. It has a lot of damage, hit and stam. However, it does lack Int.
2. [Seer's Signet] - Exalted Rep Reward - Scryers - If you have access to this ring it is a bit of a no brainer. It has quite a bit of Damage, Crit, and Stam.
3. [Ryngo's Band of Ingenuity] - Arcatraz - Wrath-Scryer Soccothrates - A very nice ring with well rounded stats.
4. [Scintillating Coral Band] - Steamvault - Hydromancer Thespia - Also a nice ring with well rounded stats. It focus a little more on crit and less on damage. That is why it is listed 4th.
Patch Update:
The patch is here. I fired up the computer before going to work to see if there was extended maintenance today knowing that would be a good indication. In stead of going to the log in screen it just started downloading the patch. So, I have a busy WoW day ahead of me. I do want to go check out all of the new stuff but I also have to update addons and such. Good Luck to everyone with getting everything updated. I may make a post later about the things that are in the patch and not in the patch, but it may end up just a recap of all the things I said before.
Guild Update:
Had a good night last night. I wasn't in for the entire raid but the guild 2 shotted Kazzak which is a first for the rebuilt WA. We also one shotted both VR and Solarion. Unfortunately we didn't get to Mag this week so Graylo still doesn't have his title. However, I do think we are getting past the point where we need his gear.
Toon Update:
Graylo - Nothing new.
Graypal - Nothing new.
Grayfel - I did some quests while waiting to get into the raid and got him his fel hunter.

I am eating up every piece of these gear guides you put together.
I originally had no intention of even collecting pve gear, but when it's laid out so nicely with all the new patch 2.4 additions it's hard to resist not looking into them.
Basically I want to say a big "Thank You!"

NP, Thanks for reading. The fourth part should be out soon. I have been a little busy lately and haven't been able to finish it.

To expand on my point below, I am not suggesting that the Democrats are balking over regime change in Iraq because they are thinking like lawyers. Rather, I believe they are talking like lawyers because it is the only way they can defend their unprincipled relunctance to support regime change. We know that this reluctance on the part of politicians like Tom Daschle is unprincipled because (a) they took a different position when Clinton was talking about war with Iraq and (b) they took a different position last fall, just before the elections. And because their position is unprincipled, they tend to resort to caviling. Thus, they sound more like hack lawyers than statesmen, or even respectable legislators. Considering the stakes, the American people are not likely to forgive this conduct quickly.

Excerpted from Journey into Motherhood:
Inspirational Stories of Natural Birth by Sheri Menelli
From Denial to Ecstasy
By Michele Zeck
You could set a clock by my menstrual cycle. But when I was four days late, I focused on all of the physical signs indicating my period was on the way. I bought an Early Pregnancy Test on my way to work, just to put my mind to rest—I knew I was not pregnant.
I went to the restroom the second I arrived. That stick couldn't have turned positive any quicker than it did… I was horrified! At 32, I had just gotten engaged to Rich, and did not want kids at all. In a state of shock and hysteria, I tried to tell a couple of my co-workers. I was incoherent, carrying on and pointing to the stick, so distraught that I had to leave work. I headed straight to Rich to tell him the news. I could not have asked for a more sympathetic man as I sat in his office blubbering about the situation.
That night we talked over our options. Do we keep the baby or do we give the baby up for adoption? I cried and prayed until I finally fell asleep that night. The next day I had an overwhelming feeling of peace about the pregnancy. It was a go. We accepted our unexpected gift.
As we talked about the kind of birth we wanted—a hospital or home birth—I made it clear that I am against any kind of pain
medication or anything that interferes with the natural birthing process. I don't understand why people would take care of themselves during their pregnancy but allow drugs to enter their body, and the baby's, during labor. Our bodies are made for birthing. Labor pain won't last forever, and there is such a bright light at the end of the tunnel. Although it can seem unbearable at times, I see labor as such a small window of time compared to the bigger picture of growing and birthing a child.
We were aware of the problems that could arise if we chose a hospital birth, but I didn't know anyone who had given birth at home. We talked with friends about our dilemma, and they knew of a midwife who had been in practice for over 20 years and delivered over 1,000 babies. Encouraged by this sign, we contacted her to set up an interview. She answered all of our questions and talked with us about our philosophy on birthing. She advised us to not make a decision right away, to think about our conversation for a week or so.
We figured it would be smart to talk with my Ob/Gyn about home birth. So we made an appointment, but before we could see the doctor we had to fill out a stack of paperwork. Oh, brother! Then the nurse proceeded to go through her routine, or as I call it, "pushing us through like a herd of cows." She gave us the "pregnant packet" full of propaganda, which annoyed Rich and I to no end. We just wanted to TALK to the doctor, that's it. Finally, we were led to an examination room and I was told to get into a gown. I said, "I'm sorry, but I'm here strictly to talk to the doctor. No examination is going to take place." Thank goodness Rich was there, or I wouldn't have felt brave enough to stand up for what I believed should happen during that visit.
My doctor, a woman I really liked and had been to for five years, came in a few minutes later. We talked about the possibility of working with a midwife and having a home birth. While she was open to a midwife, she objected to a home birth because of the fact I had herpes. (Herpes can be passed from mother to baby during birth, but only if the mother is experiencing a breakout.) I was so
grateful that I had already discussed this with my midwife. She had put my concerns to rest right away, educating me on foods and immune-boosting supplements that would suppress breakouts. She had safely delivered many babies with moms who had herpes. To hear my doctor try to scare me with the herpes angle did not make me happy. She said she respected our feelings about whether or not to vaccinate our baby, and other choices we wanted to make, which made me feel better. However, she couldn't guarantee she would be on call when I went into labor, and she warned me that the other delivery doctors wouldn't be as open-minded. That was all I needed to hear. I wasn't going to give birth under such uncertain circumstances.
After we were done with the question-and-answer session the doctor said, "I see you didn't want an exam." I confirmed that we were just there to talk, so the office charged us for a consultation, which our insurance does not cover. That was the cherry on top of the whole unpleasant experience.
The next day we called the midwife, Yolanda, and told her we were ready to work with her. We met the following week to fill out some paperwork and exchange expectations, and just to talk. She told us that she did not conduct vaginal exams until the home visit, which is two weeks before your due date. She had a 0% infection rate. She does not offer any drugs for pain and will only do episiotomies if absolutely necessary. During the birth she uses oil and massage to help stretch the perineum and make it more elastic. Yolanda also advised me to use ginger for morning sickness… those ginger tablets were my best friends for months. Peppermint oil was also helpful for my tummy. Our next appointment was in two months, which would put me at 13 weeks along.
Our first real appointment with a midwife was astonishing. The wealth of information she had blew me away. My husband has children from a previous marriage and even he was flabbergasted. He told her that no doctor had ever taken the time to include him in the prenatal discussions, or teach him how to help prepare a woman's body for the birthing process.
In my second trimester I was feeling so much better, now that the nausea had left. But that is also when the fear set in… I was so scared of the pain of labor. Some days that's all I thought about, and I knew I had to take control of my mindset. I told Yolanda about my low tolerance for pain, and asked what I could do to cope with my fears. She encouraged me to read Birthing from Within by Pam England and Rob Horowitz, an excellent book. It was key to helping me manage the pain issue, but also so much more. It is perfect for women planning a home birth, or a hospital birth.
I needed to hear the baby's heartbeat, and we finally did for the first time at about the 17th week. Until that day, a part of me was still in denial about being pregnant. I didn't want to get my hopes up in case something went wrong during my first trimester. Once I heard that little heart beat I was overwhelmed with happiness. I really was pregnant! There really was a little person growing inside me. The reality of having a baby finally set in.
The more I read my book, Birthing from Within, the more thrilled I was and the more confident I became that I could have a perfectly wonderful home birth. Birthing at home can be a very daunting thing for most people. My mom and friends resisted the idea at first. All I heard was, "What if, what if, what if… hospitals are safer and better equipped to handle emergencies…." I told them to educate themselves about home births and hospital births
before making a judgment call. As I shared more and more information with them, they gradually opened up to the idea.
Two weeks before my due date, our midwife came for a home visit. She examined me and confirmed that all was well with the baby and me. She checked our birthing supplies to make sure we had everything we would need. Rich and I were so ready to have a baby… we were just waiting for the baby to be ready to join us.
And then, the day came. It was about 3 a.m. when I started feeling uncomfortable so I went downstairs to lay on the couch. By 4 a.m. I was sitting at the table, reading a chart in a book, trying to determine if those sensations were fake contractions or true contractions. I honestly didn't know. According to the book, I was having some of each. I timed them, but there was no consistency. By 5 a.m. I knew they were true contractions, coming about one minute apart. An hour later I yelled upstairs, telling my husband to call our midwife.
I lay over the side of the bed, breathing and talking to Yolanda. She asked me questions, trying to discern if I was in true labor. She was just finishing up with another birth and was about 30 minutes away, but said she was on her way. Rich called my mom to tell her I was in labor and asked her to pray for us.
Yolanda arrived at the house at 7:30 a.m., bringing with her an energy of calmness. I was safe and at peace with her there. I felt the safest in our bedroom, so that is where we stayed (along with our dog and cat). I can't remember much of what she said to me but I remember that Yolanda's voice was very soothing. Rich was at my side the whole time. Whether I was in the bathtub or on the toilet wanting to throw up, he was there. He was my rock.
My midwife would not let me stay in any one position for too long. She believes that different birthing positions encourage the baby to move into the birth canal. She was right. By 8:30 a.m. I was dilated to eight centimeters. My water still had not broken; it never really did, it just leaked a little at a time. By 10 a.m. I was fully dilated and ready to push. My husband was a great coach, and I
clung to him like never before. I needed him, and he came through like a knight in shining armor!
Yolanda listened to the baby's heartbeat one more time before I started pushing. Believe it or not, I asked her if she could tell what sex the baby was by the heartbeat, and she said yes.
With each contraction I pushed deeply… I wanted the baby out and I wanted it out now! For the first 20 minutes of pushing I was on the bed, and then I moved to a birthing stool. That was perfect. As our baby was crowning, she told me she could see the baby's head and that it had lots of hair. She lowered a mirror so I could see, and then I put my hand down to feel the hair. How incredible that moment was! To feel part of the baby before it entered this world was just magical. Yolanda gave me specific instructions, telling me to stop pushing. She was preparing the baby's opening with oil, massaging it to stretch with the baby so there would be no tearing. I started pushing again, but had to stop—as much as I didn't want to, I knew what the consequences would be if I didn't. With one final push, the baby emerged face up. Yolanda told me to grab my baby girl and pull her out. What a glorious experience, to pull your child out of your body and welcome her into the world!
Shea Kiley lay on my chest with the cord still attached for 10
or 15 minutes before Rich cut it. I was helped up onto the bed and started nursing my precious angel. God was good to me. Everything went exactly the way it should have—perfect.
A Mother's Guidance: Having a home birth with a midwife was my key to a great birth. Birthing is difficult, that's just reality, but to give birth in the comfort of your home can make it an awesome experience. Choose a midwife who explains everything to you and lets you know how your pregnancy and labor are progressing. She will reassure you that you are doing a great job, and you won't be stuck in bed or have monitors hooked up to you. (That idea scared me, and felt like we would be anticipating problems.) What a story you get to share with your child—that they were born in their home!
Additional Thoughts: One of the most important things you can do at the beginning of your pregnancy is to carefully interview doctors or midwives. If you do not feel comfortable with them at the beginning of your pregnancy, you probably won't feel any different when you are giving birth. You can find a great list of interviewing questions in the appendix of this book.

One of my pet peeves is when people tell me they are too old for something. Too old to learn to ski, to stay out past midnight, to fall in love, to change jobs, to lose weight, to get in shape, to wear a bikini, to have wild, crazy sex.
Back when I was selling, if a prospective client said they really liked our station but they just didn't have the money, we knew we had not uncovered the real objection. Buying is never about having the money. If you really want something, whether it is an ad schedule on the station or a new pair of Cole Han boots, you'll find the money.
I say the same thing holds true for using age as a reason not to do something. If your choice is not to do it, give me the real reason. Maybe you're too scared, maybe you're afraid you'll fail, but don't tell me you're too old.
And if you need a little proof let me introduce you to Shari Nedler. Shari is the mom of my friend Karen Quinn, author and founder of Testing Mom. Right now Shari is off on a cruise around the world. By herself! In fact as of today she is somewhere in Tasmania.
How old is Shari? As a girlfriend of mine who grew up in Alabama used to tell me, a true Southern woman never tells her real age, so we'll pretend Shari is a southern girl. Suffice it to say, if she is old enough to be Karen's Mom, she is old enough to be mine and that qualifies as not as young as we all used to be.
But I digress. Shari had planned this trip with her boyfriend Marvin, a man she met after Karen's Dad passed away. They set sail over a year ago and not too far into the trip Marvin got sick. They had to go home and not long after Marvin passed away.
Shari initially had no intentions of taking this cruise again, much less traveling by herself. But she had what I like to call a lot of appetite. That desire won over those, including herself who might have said she was too old to be taking a cruise around the world by herself.
Although she's not really alone. Karen and her brothers are joining her at selected ports. And Shari is blogging her adventures. If you'd like to keep up with Shari you can subscribe to her blog through RSS. She'll remind you everyday that you are never too old, for anything, especially adventures!
Do you think you are too old to do something?
Or do you defy what others say and not let age stop you?

Hello All,
I'm curious if anyone is familiar with the mountain guide school (http://www.blah.com/mountain-guide-scho ... se-details ). I'm interested in becoming a mountain guide, and have been looking at this school for a while. I've done a fair bit of climbing and skiing, but haven't done much work in the outdoors. I'm looking to get my foot in the door, and this seems like a good way to go. Anyone know anything about this program?

CON EDISON RESTORES POWER TO FULTON NETWORK IN LOWER MANHATTAN Customers Requested To Limit Their Use Of Power NEW YORK – Con Edison's effort to return power to lower Manhattan took another significant step today at 3:35 a.m. when the company restored power to the majority of its Fulton network, one of several networks that have been shut down since Tuesday's terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. But the company is urging any residences and businesses whose power has been restored to minimize their use of electricity while work continues in the area. Street lights are on.
This part of the restoration is the first phase of ongoing work to restore the entire Fulton network. This work will continue for several days, and it is imperative that customers restrict their energy use during this period.
Service in the Fulton network has been restored to an area bounded by Dover Street on the north; Wall Street on the south; the East River on the east; and William Street on the west.
More than 1,900 Con Edison workers are laboring around the clock to restore power in lower Manhattan and thousands more are working behind the scenes. More than 26 miles of high-voltage cable have been stretched through the streets and trenches are being dug to accommodate the wires. Since the attack, more than 5,000 electric customers have had their power restored. The company has cut away damaged electric cables buried beneath debris-clogged streets. Transmission lines from the two substations that were totally destroyed by the collapse of the building at 7 World Trade Center are being cut and isolated from the transmission system.
