Looking back, it had to be divine intervention or a completely benign arrangement of the stars in my favour that must have helped my cricket along, when there was no conscious effort to make a career of it, on the part of my parents or self. (More of this later).
The first time I held a bat was around 1952, in the backyard of our Quilon (now Kollam) home, in the company of my brother Nagan, a left handed, far more talented and stylish novitiate into the game at which so many in the family were good. I was barely five and for the next three years, the only cricket action we saw was provided by my father's exploits in the game.
P N Venkatraman, Ramani to his siblings, cousins, and cricket mates, was Appa to us, his children—by then four of us, with the latest adddition Krishnan arriving on 13 May 1952. Appa had been a stalwart of Mylapore Recreation Club, albeit a reclusive, even reluctant one, mainly because he was a bit of a hypochondriac and feared he would collapse on the cricket field, thanks to an imaginary heart condition a mischievous uncle or elder cousin had led him to believe afflicted him. (When I saw the Adoor Gopalakrishnan film Anantaram in the 1980s, a scene in it reminded me of my father's unhappy experiences with elders in the extended family who casually planted in him fears and anxieties with far reaching consequences, preventing the full flowering of this gentle, shy, unusually talented young lad).
Appa therefore never reached the heights he was expected to as a cricketer and indeed in his professional career. He was too inhibited to exploit his talents fully. That made no difference to us kids who all hero-worshipped him. He was easily the most loving father in the world. He doted on us—whenever he found the time. His work as the manager of the Quilon branch of the Indian Overseas Bank Ltd (they were called agents back then), was demanding and involved long hours at the bank. It helped though that we lived in quarters attached to the office.
Appa had played cricket in Madras in the company of some of the greatest names of the city—
M J Gopalan, Ram Singh, the Bhat brothers, G Parthasarathi or GP, and his own uncle P S Ramachandran or Pattu who once took 10 for 18 in an innings for Mylapore Recreation Club against Triplicane Cricket Club in a league match. Appa was a medium pace bowler with a high arm action with the intention of bowling fast 'offbreaks' as he described them in the fashion of the day. They did not call them cutters or seamers in Madras then, but I suspect Appa did exactly that—bowl ferocious in-cutters, made deadlier by the matting surfaces on which he played most of his cricket. What made his bowling diabolical was his almost unconscious ability to swing the ball away from the batsman before it landed and broke back. There were no TV cameras in world cricket and therefore not many Test bowlers were known to have such ability, Alec Bedser being a notable exception. Appa's friends in cricket often likened his bowling to Bedser's.
Appa quickly formed a team in Kollam. It included, besides himself, a couple of IOB men and other friends like Monappa, a stylish man in his thirties with an aquiline nose, sharp features, dark, brushed back hair and a moustache. Like other Coorg-born men, he was athletic and sunny tempered as well. The Anglo Indian railway guard Clifton was built on strong lines and was fair skinned like a European.
I vaguely remember that Monappa was a lithe, stylish all rounder. Clifton was a powerful batsman. Though Appa's forte was his bowling, I remember some lusty hits by him at the Fathima College ground where I watched some of his matches. When he smote the ball once over midwicket for a six—a rare occurrence those days—my joy knew no bounds.
Inspiration was also provided by the newspaper accounts of the England tour of Australia, made memorable by England's great comeback after Len Hutton won the toss and inserted the opposition in the first Test, only to lose the match by an innings. 'Typhoon Tyson', a quiet schoolmaster who later migrated to Australia, struck terror in the hearts of Australian batsmen and almost single handedly won the series for England with his hostile fast bowling. The Hindu came to Kollam around four pm, and I eagerly grabbed it to read the cricket headlines, which I only vaguely understood . Still, Colin Cowdrey and Peter May, Denis Compton and Godfrey Evans became my heroes during that and subsequent series. I had to wait until 1956 for my biggest cricket hero to steal the limelight decisively once and for all from his spinning colleagues. Jim Laker was to take 19 wickets in a single Test match against the touring Australians that season, but we are going ahead of the story.
The most exciting cricketing moments in Kollam came when our cousins Kannan and Raman visited us soon after their upanayanam or thread ceremony, which meant that they both sported an unusual hairstyle, with the front half of the head shaved and the back part ending in a dangling tuft of hair. For some strange reason, this was called an appala kudumi. Kannan and Raman were slightly older at 9 and 11, and they were avid cricketers who brought a touch of class to our informal matches in the vast, snake-infested grounds of the new bank quarters we had moved into in distant Tangaserry on the backwaters or kayal of Kollam. Our games were vigorous and competitive, and the players included besides the four boys, one sister, Sarada and one female cousin, Rama, as well as the domestic staff.
Soon after the cousins went back to Madras, Nagan and I accompanied Appa on a trip to Trivandrum, where he played in local matches for Sasthamangalam Cricket Club, a strong outfit led by the elegant and accomplished Balan Pandit, Kerala's most successful cricketer till then. Appa bowled well in the matches we watched, and SCC won the local league. Over the years, I have managed to lose what was a precious possession--a group photograph in which Balan Pandit looked regal in his spotless gear that included a stylish scarf worn like a muffler, and Appa tall and handsome. Of the two youngsters squatting for the photograph in front of their seated seniors, one was a smart young man who would go on to play for India in unofficial Tests as a medium pacer--C K Bhaskar. I was to play some inter-collegiate cricket with Bhaskar in Madras in the 1960s, when he was a student of Madras (or Stanley) Medical College, and league cricket against his elder brother Vijayan who was also in the group picture.

I mean, not that I'm opposed to Megan Fox's ass on constitutional grounds, but that one shot is kind of like watching a Greg Land panel come to life. Wonder when we'll see him lightbox it.

Comments about Scientific Explorer Mind Blowing Science:
This kit has growing ooze and color changing experiments and even sand which cannot get wet. It is a amazing kit and ideal for chidren over the age of four. This is a fun way to create a interest in the world of science and one that the kids can have their own science lab at home. I have the feeling that you will enjoy the experiments as well. The kit allows young scientist to perform server amazing science experiments that includes a erupting color changing volcanot to growing colorul jiggly crystals. The great part of all this is while having fun the kids liearn basic principles of science and learn how to use test tubes and such. The kids includes almost everything needed to set up their experiments but I do give you a word of caution here that adult supervision is needed and should be available when the kids are doing their experiements. And while it comes with most everything some basic supplies are needed such as water, towels, plates or bowls to catch spills and stiring spoons. I found this one difficult to find and suggest that you start doing research to find it especially if you are wanting it for a gift item..

Comments about Scientific Explorer Mind Blowing Science:
I have to admit that I expected this kit to be dinky. The box only weighed about a pound so I really wasn't expecting anything terrific from it. Boy was I wrong!
You don't need to be a science expert to assist your kids with this, which was great for me, and there are so many options when it comes to experiments that you can do with it. It has a guide to help you through the experiments that contains basic information about the experiments as well as basic explanations as to why the reactions happen and things like that. I found that to be very educational for me as well as my kids.
Your kids will need to be supervised while using this kit. I don't think that any of the experiments are particularly dangerous, but you are creating chemical reactions and things so you can never be too careful in my opinion. Plus I think that this would be quite messy if you aren't careful.
The only real negative that I would mention is that some of these experiments don't produce "instant" results. One of them we had to wait almost two hours for it to produce the desired reaction. That was really frustrating for my younger child who prefers instant gratification.
Overall this is a great basic science kit that will provide hours of educational entertainment!
Comments about Scientific Explorer Mind Blowing Science:
Let me start off by saying that I homeschool my 9 year old 4th grade son. I saw the Scientific Explorer Mind Blowing Science kit on sale so I decided to pick it up on the spur of the moment to add some science experiments to our day. The kit comes with a lot of what you need for the experiments such as cabbage juice powder, citric acid, baking soda, vegetable oil, corn starch, and stir sticks. The things you will need to provide ranges from water, flour, tape, grape juice, coffee filter, tape, to the plates and spoons. So it is not too much on your part to arrange for the experiments. The booklet that comes with it includes a detailed explanation of what happens in the experiment which can make it a mini science lesson for the younger kids. The majority of the experiments use acids, bases, and their chemical reactions to make all the wonders come alive before your eyes. My son loves it and wishes we would do it more often! My only negative thing to say about this kit would be that it is a little messy but what experiment isn't?
Comments about Scientific Explorer Mind Blowing Science:
"Santa" brought this kit for my 6 year old last year and he loves it! He especially likes the experient making the hard/solid goo. When he touches it, it becomes hard but it pour/flows like a liquid. He also likes mixing the colors to make different colors. The downside is the mess that's made. There is no easy way to store the opened packages of mixes so I had to use several ziplock bags to keep it neat and not mixed up. I was a little nervous about the acid because my kid six-year old wanted to to do all the mixing himself and I wasn't sure how safe it was! I'm sure its fine but it wasn't clear how safe the mixes were.
I would highly recommend this product. He begs to do the experiments and I'm checking on to getting him some more kits this year. The instructions were clear but some were pretty involved and took several hours to complete. A six-year-old with very little patience would have a tough time with many of them but it is worth the time. Its also great quality time spent with your kiddo!
Comments about Scientific Explorer Mind Blowing Science:
My daughter received the Scientific Explorer Mind Blowing Science kit for her birthday, and she immediately loved it! She enjoyed helping with most of the experiments, and there were several projects she could do mostly by herself. She would play with it everyday if I would let her, and this is the kind of enthusiasm I definitely want to encourage about science! We even got it out when a friend came over, and they both laughed and oo-ed and ahh-ed for over an hour! Several of the ingredients are very basic, and you can easily get more when the supplies in the kit run out. I was able to talk with them about some very basic scientific principles, making science come to life for them. My only suggestion would be to replace the cardboard box with a plastic, reusable case: we still keep the components of the kit in the box, but it is not ideal. My daughter received this set when she was five, but I think it is suitable for kids up to eight or nine.

Lieberman eyes Mohamed Salah to join Israeli army
Cii Radio|Ayesha Ismail|26 April 2018| 09 Shabaan 1439
The Egyptian football player Mohamed Salah has managed to win the hearts of many around the world due to his outstanding performance in every match with the Liverpool Football Club. But it seems that he even won the support of an unlikely fan: Israel's minister of defense.
Avigdor Lieberman called on the country's chief of staff to sign Mohamed Salah to the Israeli army in a sarcastic tweet on Tuesday.
"I will be calling the chief of staff immediately to tell him to hire Mohamed Salah to the Israeli army," he said on his official Twitter account.
Salah had scored two goals and nabbed two assists during Liverpool's match with Roma, Salah's former club, on Tuesday.
The Egyptian player has 43 goals thus far under his belt in the Premier League and won English soccer's Player of the Year award on Sunday.

Growing up in the Northeast and having pets all my life, I know how much of a nuisance fleas and ticks can be. They can cause a multitude of problems; ranging from skin irritation to Lyme disease. Lyme disease in pets wasn't nearly as prevalent as it is today, and the use of flea and tick treatments was limited, if used at all. I don't ever remember using topical products on the family dogs through the years, and maybe the occasional flea collar would be put on if there was a particularly bad infestation that season.
Recently relocated to Skaneateles and living on the edge of a heavily wooded area, I noticed there was an abundance of bugs and reminded myself that I couldn't forget to give my three dogs their flea and tick medication this month. I have been diligent about applying the medication and luckily, have not seen a flea or tick on any of them. Fleas and ticks are both external parasites that can cause extreme discomfort for your pet, so it is important to use the appropriate preventative year-round. Some owners choose to only use medication during the warmer months, but veterinarians recommend your pet stays covered even when it is cold.
There are many safe and effective ways to administer flea and tick control products. Many of the major flea control products also have formulations that will help prevent ticks. These products are typically administered topically by applying the medication as a fluid directly to the animal's skin. There are also chewable tablets available and have shown success in pets that are prone to having reactions from medications.
Prevention of ticks can also include keeping pets out of heavily wooded areas or tall grass. As much as possible, create tick-free zones in your yard by keeping grass cut short and bushes cut back. Ticks like moist areas, so remove fallen leaves from around your home. If necessary, you may need to treat your backyard with a pesticide to reduce the number of ticks. Lastly, make a habit of performing a "tick check" on your pet at least once a day, especially if he or she has access to wooded or grassy areas where ticks can hang out. Your pet will surely thank you!

Now that I'm making less money than I did two years ago, I've had to make adjustments in my spending habits.
I still do take the time to indulge myself a little. I get my hair cut by a professional every 6 to 8 weeks. Not at a discount place either. I actually go to a "day spa" near my house. I love my hairdresser. I met her at one salon few years ago. She moved to her current location last year and I followed her over.
Something else that I haven't given up is fancy coffee. Every week or so, I stop by the $bucks near us and get my usual -- Venti Soy Caramel Macchiato. YUM! The people who work there are always pleasant and know my order.
I'm still able to buy the kids clothes as the seasons change. I've streamlined a bit. I don't buy them as much as I used to. I take a little more time to plan out colors to make sure that what I'm buying will be easily mixed-n-matched. And I don't buy everything at once. I take a few months now to accumulate their wardrobes for the season. I watch out for sales now where I didn't use to.
But for summer? The kids aren't going to summer camp this year. I may send them for one week, but that's such a change from summers past. The kids are going to be home. HOME! ARGH! But I did sign them up for swim lessons 2x per week. I also plan on taking them on weekly field trips to different places in and around our city. But they'll be home with me WAY more than in summers past.
So...HELP! What are some fun activities that you'd suggest for us to do at home. Any arts / crafts that we should be able to do without buying a whole bunch of stuff? Any easy / fun foods you'd suggest we make? Come on peeps, can you help a Mom out here?

The monthly report on Arkansas tax collections in April was in keeping with the announcement yesterday that the annual forecast was being revised upward because of improving economic conditions.
But the whopping increase in net revenue is a little misleading. They were up by 15 percent over the same month a year ago and up 14.2 percent over the forecast. But, said the Department of Finance and Administration:
Results were mainly driven by high growth in individual income tax. Much of the increase in recent collections represents income shifted to Tax Year (TY) 2012 and paid in FY 2013 revenue. Larger than anticipated payments with filing extensions and returns received in April for Tax Year 2012 resulted from taxpayer strategy and improved
business earnings. Other states and the IRS are reporting similar results this month.
The categories affected by this pattern in April were returns and extensions with payments. The gain included multiple types of activity, including tax shift strategy, expedited returns processing compared to year ago, and one-time business transactions. Expedited returns processing potentially pulled activity from May collections into April. In other income tax categories, collections growth in withholding was modest and estimated payments were down.
And here's more downside, a bellwether of econmomic activity, the sales and use tax:
Sales and Use tax collections were below forecast by $12.0 million or -6.5 percent and also below year ago levels. A variety of factors relate to ongoing weakness in sales and use tax receipts, including slow job and income growth, low inflation, and the diversion effect on taxable sales from elevated motor fuel costs to consumers in recent months.
I do wonder how much the migration to on-line sales, much of it with retailers who don't currently collect Arkansas sales taxes, affects this segment of the revenue picture, as opposed to economic conditions.

US Army sappers work in squad and team sized elements in cooperation with Armor and Infantry, and this addon creates the necessary units and groups for easy use in missions. A team of engineers is seen as a "force multiplier", able to increase the fighting ability of nearby units by doing specialized tasks as well as direct combat.
All of the members of a sapper unit are able to do normal infantry tasks, but more importantly every member also performed their specialized tasks. In every (good) unit this author was in, everyone in the unit worked including the squad leaders. The only exception was the MG and his assistant who would provide over-watch.
Also, in Takistan, there is need for EOD teams, highly trained specialists in dangerous removal of explosives among other tasks.
All personnel, including squad and team leaders, have the ability to perform engineer tasks. And all sappers carry a mix of demo and mines, with more of one or the other. This way you can be prepared for changes in mission.
Vehicles have load of mines and satchel charges. Their crew also have engineering capabilities.
The units are set up as follows:
Sapper Squad: 1x Squad leader: GL and demo
2x Team leaders: grenade laucher (GL) and demo
1x MG: M240
1X Assitant MG: GL and demo
1x AT MAAWs
3x Sappers: Rifles and demo
2x Sappers: Rifles and mines
1x Medic
Sapper EBFV Dismount Squad:
1x Squad leader: GL and demo
1x Team leaders: grenade laucher (GL) and demo
1x AR: M249
1x AT MAAWs
1x Sappers: Rifle and demo
1x Sappers: M14 and demo
Sapper Demo Team:
1x TL: GL and demo
1x MG: M240
3x Sapper: rifle and demo
1x Medic
Sapper Mine Team:
1x TL: GL and demo
1x MG: M240
3x Sapper: rifle and mines
1x Medic
EOD Team:
1x EOD M4A3 and demo
1x EOD M4A3/M203 and demo
1x EOD M14 and demo
1x EOD M107
1x Medic
Utility HMMWV
M1132 Stryker Engineer Squad Vehicle (M2 and Mk19) = for now this is a BIS Stryker ICV with engineer load.
M1128X STRAC CEV = author's hypothetical replacement for the M728 CEV, which is now defunct. For now it is just a BIS Stryker MGS.
M2A2ODS-E Engineer Bradley Fighting Vehicle
MaxxPro = six variants of namman2's excellent MaxxPro MRAP vehicles
Woodland Camouflage Strykers by Stiltman
Woodland Camouflage Bradley by BigMorgan and ThePieSky
See readme for script names. All units have engineer capabilities and most carry backpacks with 2 mines and 2 satchel charges. The EOD loadouts are good, but I would like models with more armor. Vehicles are BIS but with engineer loads.
As we always recommend use modfolders to seperate the custom content from the official game content to prevent problems.
For different ways to set up your modfolders and use them please visit our FAQ.
When you are using the Steam version you can find a Steam mod installation and activation FAQ here.
Included .pbos:
I plan to add more in the future, to include other factions.
Also, you can use any replacement skins you want, as I like to use Multicam and weapons replacements.
All pbo's are independent (except for maxxpro_sti_sapper_cfg.pbo which requires maxxpro.pbo and sti_stryker.pbo). You can pick and choose what you like. The best bet is to use Robalo's full ASR Throwable Satchels addon.
Give me suggestions about this.
Credits & Thanks:
Thanks to all of the modders on BI forums and Armaholic for the inspiration.

i got the recipe from one of the cooking website when i first started baking. i think it was http://www.myresipi.com/.
after few tries i changed the recipe slightly to get a better texture and taste. :)
1 cup vegetable oils
1 1/2cup castor sugar
4 medium size eggs
2 1/4 cups multipurpose flour or cake flour
1 tsp bicarbonate soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon powder
1 tsp salt
1 cup chopped toasted walnut
2.5 cups grated carrot
2 tbsp vanilla extract
you can put some raisin if you like.. maybe 1/2 cup. i don't really like raisin in my foods.. so i never put them in my cake unless if it's an order.
the best thing about the recipe you don't need a mixer for it! u can just use you whisk..
1. Preheat oven to 185c
2. Beat egg and sugar together, then add oil and beat it again.
3. Mix flour, all the powders, and salt then add it in you egg mix.
4. Put it your carrot and mix it with your batter and lastly add in the walnut.
5. I usually use a 10" square pan. Generouly greased your pan with butter then put in you batter. Bake for about 40 - 50 minutes.
*i made the cake in cups for my best friend's engagement.. this is how it turn out..
my 2nd try on fondant decoration..
cream cheese is the best topping for carrot cake.. but you can also use chocolate topping... it's really good.. :)
my cream cheese recipe is very simple..just mix all these ingredients together. beat it until sugar dissolve in the cream..
1 block Philadelphia Cream Cheese
1/2 cup butter
2 1/2 cup icing sugar ( u can put more if you want it sweeter)
1 tbsp vanilla extract

Crank 2: High Voltage trailer is electrifying
[Warning: There's some strong language in that, Linkin Park]
First off, I will admit; I am a huge sucker for Jason Statham films. Although some of the earlier works he was featured in may not have been as top notch as the more recent bits, I have yet to be unimpressed with his outstanding work as an actor. Statham has accomplished more in just a few years than most actors have accomplished in over a decade.
This movie is the sequel to the 2006 Crank. The first title featured many elements of a fast paced action movie, yet still keeping a sense of humor about it; this by no means makes this a family or kid friendly movie, though. In Crank, the lead Chez Chelios was faced with being injected with a heart stopping drug that would kill him in less that a day. In order to survive, he must do many zany things to keep adrenaline pumping throughout his body. Crank 2 will retain much of the same style, except this time Chelios has had a heart transplant gone wrong and needs to keep his artificial heart going by providing a constant supply of electricity to his body. By the looks of the trailer above, this one's shaping up to be another crowd pleaser.

With the "Brother Jed Invasion" in full swing at Speakers Circle (he's there every day from noon-4pm+ now), I have to find other places to kick if I can't get going by 10am in the morning. Fountain Circle is just down the sidewalk from Speaker's Circle.
Watching the Vegas Jam Videos obviously inspired me; I was thinking about them, and pushing my difficulty a little more than usual. I ended up getting a few nice strings on tape, so I broke from my usual "Single Best Rally" video format, and did a "Highlights Reel" instead. That very last rally was a full rally, but hey I thought it was worthy.
A shout out to Ironclad Ben, too: he gave me some tips on ducks and dives, and I hit a couple of clean, properly timed, diving same side butterfly moves! (not on tape, sorry)
I've only got one or two more sessions on campus before school is out. After that, I'll likely switch to kicking at the Hack-Key Sculpture in front of the new City Hall in the evenings.
I put in 1:30 at the Secret Hideout last session (boy I forgot how hot and humid it is in there when it's not freezing outside), and a solid 2 hrs this week. Overall I'm very pleased with the season so far. I'm ahead of my goals, heading into the main summer season. All the lights are green for my 30th Footbag Anniverary season. I want to make it a great one!
1:30 / 2:00 / 19:30 – Thanks for tuning in!

Oh my, you have been through so much, but I am so glad for your return. Hopefully, each day will be brighter from now on.

Dear Moonroot, have you looked at the progressions and transits to your astrological chart to see what might have been happening? At a guess, you are describing a Saturn transit, and Saturn is strong in your chart.
Try Googling Robert Hand - he offers a free transit report on an astrological site I believe to be Astrodienst (I have a memory like a steel trap, so long as that trap is defined as "sieve on one side"). If you have questions I'll be happy to answer them - no charge, as I volunteered this!
Bright blessings on your journey toward finding out what it was all about.

Moonroot, the site Vienne is talking about is www.astro.com
I am so glad for you having been forged in a hard fire to now be bright and sunny again. For all the past three years have been a nuisance, I hope you have a long, long period of happiness from now on. At least seventy years... that should cover it!

To complete this quest you must visit the places listed in the order listed. You begin in Krizsan to get the quest from Mayor Arbuckle, then need to go the Agate Tower to find the location of the Slime Pit. Colchis Ruins is optional, but I recommend going there to pick up a couple items that will help in the Slime Pit. Also, remember that once you've finished the Slime Pit you should return to Krizsan to get your reward from Mayor Arbuckle.

The current top six are the best top six in Premier League history.
Chelsea, Tottenham, Liverpool, and Arsenal are all performing better this season than Leicester did last, and Manchester City and United aren't far behind.
After 21 games last season the eventual champions had 43 points. Each one of the top four have more than that now.
The two Manchester giants would have been viewed as title contenders with their tallies a year ago, and they are fifth and sixth!
2015-16 was a season where the established elite under-performed and they have responded with renewed zest.
The title race has rarely had so many contenders and the entertainment is thrilling.
From Tottenham's swashbuckling full backs that are stationed higher than the Shard, to Chelsea's assassin-like ruthlessness.
We waited years for a scorpion kick goal and then two came along at once.
It's not confined to the top six either. Andy Carroll's clinching goal for a West Ham reunited was breathtaking, Bournemouth have provided comebacks and collapses that have captivated.
At Hull City Robert Snodgrass has smashed in exquisite free kicks, and Sunderland despite their travails have unearthed a diamond in the rough in Jordan Pickford, who has produced some wonderful saves.
We are treated to the odd "off the field" scandal, that stimulates debate and adds extra spice to the narrative.
In 2013-14 it was as competitive but the leaders only had 48 points, Chelsea have the highest number of points after 21 games for 10 years.
Just eight points separated Leeds and sixth placed Chelsea in 2001/02 but the points totals were a lot lower. The leaders had 41.
This campaign is an exceptional season of football and we should be proud of it.
The games between the top six are usually a measure of the quality level. Manchester United and Liverpool's draw was absorbing without being technically brilliant.
Chelsea at Manchester City, Liverpool versus Arsenal were both great games.
Some may disagree, and argue over a lack of quality when compared to Barcelona and Real Madrid but the games are compelling. They draw you in, they fascinate you.
The perennial debate over who has the best league in the world is boring.
In my opinion it's a pointless and silly one because it's impossible to prove because there's so many variables that are impossible to score.
The competition is more fierce in one league, the quality is higher in another, the amount of viewers is greater in the next, and the best players are scattered between them all.
What we have in the Premier League is gripping, absorbing and competitive. It thrills and gets the heart beating faster. I love it, I bet you do too, and we should thank our lucky stars we have it.

In concert with the growing movement opposed to fossil fuel projects, we helped develop a networked campaign that successfully mobilized over 200,000 to action. In cooperation with NetChange and 30 different Canadian NGOs.
"They were always very timely and responsive, offered creative solutions to our design or technical challenges, and always brought new ideas to the mix. They are true partners for social change work."
Jason Mogus
Principal Strategist at NetChange
Leveraging a small budget and a network of partners with the goal of engaging as much of the undecided and middle-class residents living along the pipeline route, while energizing a strong active base of core supporters to sustained and impactful action.
From the beginning, we tailored not only the messaging but also the look and feel of every touchpoint we put out to sidestep the traditional protest-style campaign strategy. A softer and fact-based approach along with visuals that communicates to the majority of the population was key to our success.
As part of a network of organizations working together, the campaign gathered over 210,000 petition signers, helped bring together one of the largest marches in Vancouver history, and made noise both in the media and Ottawa.

This week 3 friends from knit and natter and I went out to a new fabric shop which also has a rather nice coffee shop. Their fabrics were gorgeous and it was very much a quilters paradise. A couple of hours passed quickly especially once we were sat down enjoying their coffee and scones! I went straight to work from there and seem to spend from then till Thursday in a haze of going to work, coming home, eating, bed, getting up, doing a few jobs and back to work again - no wonder the week passed quickly. I had fully intended to go to knit and natter Thursday evening but the rain came down and motivation left me so I spent the time crocheting at home watching Nigella on catch up. This is my WIP
I found it on Pinterest here and realised that even with my limited crocheting skills I could do it. I am using Stylecraft special aran in midnight
and it's coming along very well, in fact I've nearly finished it. Unfortunately I have no camera as David has taken it so can't show you any pictures of how far I've got.
I had company Friday night in the form of Oskar ( our friends dog ) who came and spent the night with me whilst his owners went out for the night. We didn't even go out for our usual early morning walk on Saturday morning as he took one look at the rain and went back to his basket - I have to say I was rather relieved as I wasn't that bothered about walking in the pouring rain!
After he went home I set to making 'cheat's sourdough'
I had seen it in the Good Food magazine a couple of months ago and had made a mental note to give it a go. I have been reasonably successful in that it rose and tasted nice, but I did fail in getting the crust on the top. I would like to have a go at making proper sourdough sometime as I do like it. Whilst it was rising I retreated upstairs to my 'sewing room' to finish a pinafore dress I was making for Nina (there is a bit of a surprise to this so will post more once she has it) and did in fact finish it other than the hem. Today looking at the weather I can't imagine going anywhere, but that's fine as I have a Thai fish pie to make along with a Coq au vin and the advent Christmas stocking line to finish and then I can start Nina's Christmas stocking - something I am very much looking forward to doing. We have a week in Dartmouth booked and then on to Cornwall to look after Nina whilst her Mum and Dad go to a wedding in the village. David arrives back with less than a day to turn himself round before we leave so it may be a couple of weeks before I am back with you but I will have my camera back to look out for pictures!!

A lot of Advantages and Down Sides Related With Large Poster Printing
Standard posters, that you merely spend for at the retail retailers and pin on your walls, are normally produced on shiny 130 gram per square meter cardstock. A offset litho printer would be utilised to print most of them, the other individuals are published employing a digital printer in situations where there's not many. A Laminated Poster tend to be produced on a extremely similar paper to standard quick run poster printing. A plastic-variety covering is then applied to laminated posters. Laminated photo poster printing attributes a number pros more than general photo posters, on the other hand, there can be a quantity of downsides.
Ink High quality Of the Posters Printing
Mostly because publishing is increasing much less costly daily, the competition will now nearly all use entire colour digital poster print. Single colour huge poster printing appears low-cost, and a colourful image can genuinely make the distinction. Laminated or otherwise not, your colour posters is going to finish up becoming the exact same caliber of print. What is distinctive would be that the printing high quality will be conserved better using a laminated poster. Laminated Posters possess the further advantage that there thin plastic-sort coating saves the colours and they keep longer. Standard colour posters may possibly fade with age. Anytime placed in the sunlight, or a light location, a laminated poster are typically a lot more reflective and stick out a lot more.
Which Will Be More Environmentally Friendly?
Due to everything you discover out in the Television news right now its crucial to look following the surroundings anytime we can. Typical discount posters can be taken down and also recycled following they are not essential anymore. On the other hand, a laminated poster can not be recycled offered that they will be covered in plastic-kind material. This implies that you should consider about the surrounding while you happen to be picking any posters.
Low Priced Vs Great Top quality
The cellophane coating which is fused on the paper when you get your custom posters laminated boosts the cost. If you do not get the digital poster prints laminated you will have additional funds to acquire much more. As a result for those who have only a modest marketing program it will be a lot more powerful to get started with laminated colour posters. Low cost Posters that is not most likely laminated is far more preferable if you intend to publish many thousand them. Preserve in mind, to a viewer, undesirable quality posters printing, appears like a terrible organization.
Which Will Possess The Greater Strength
Usually the life-time with regards to the photo poster prints will significantly be based upon in places you stick them. A blemish on the face of a laminated poster can be easily removed, on the other hand, in the event that you have ordinary cheap poster printing it will likely be everlasting. Typical photo poster printing is usually much less sturdy as laminated large format posters simply because it does not possess a clear plastic layer. Laminated photo poster prints can not be torn very easily and as a result are water resistant. If you have any inquiries relating to exactly where and how to use poster printing Harvard, you can get in touch with us at the website. For that purpose, when you look after laminated poster print it can continue to look good right after several years. Tears, marks and also stains will in the end make typical quick run posters appear tattered and tough to study.
Designing Guidelines
Spending money to get the finest custom poster printing by means of your on the web poster printing is insufficient. It's useless acquiring good material when whatever you publish onto it does not look nice. When your placing collectively artwork for your digital poster print ensure that it will be in high high quality, not much less than 300dpi. Your pc monitor exhibits colourings in Red Green Blue, consequently you need to set the mode of colour on the layout program at Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black. Make confident that you put not much less than a 3mm extra edge on your layout to avoid whitened edges on your poster printing. But if your not the imaginative type, you should feel about using a on the web poster printing to style the thought. Bear in thoughts, the designing of the photo poster printing truly reflects the service or item that you are promoting. Badly styled ads genuinely reflect onto your organisation. Numerous solutions and products didn't operate on the grounds that their digital posters has sent out the wrong image.

While I was inside, I was really impressed at how cute the store was, and asked the owner what you had to do to sell things there. She asked me what type of stuff I sold. I told her paintings, frames and possibly jewelry. "Well you need a wall" she said. And just like that...I had a place to sell my stuff. Donna, the owner is just a fantastic person--so nice and easy going. Her business is super successful and I've had an amazing time the past nine months selling a little bit of everything on "my wall." It is always a real high when she calls to tell me I sold an oil or two over the weekend.
I had to come up with a business name, so I decided on "Persnickety" which means picky or particular. I originally thought of "Persnickety: uppity art at affordable prices" so I kept the general idea. I made a sign and went with Nick and Jill one day and decorated my wall for the first time.

A forklift truck is used for lifting packages or crates indoors. They can lift the objects above the pallet and can move them around. For this, you must consider the height of the forklift.
When you require an additional forklift temporarily or for replacing the non-operating unit, the best solution is the plant hire company.
Some people call excavators as diggers. An excavator can dig trenches, make holes and can perform all earthmoving services. They use a bucket to dig and in order to reach far off distance, they make use of a boom. Plant hire providers have different sizes and shapes of buckets.
Cherry pickers
A cherry picker is an efficient alternative to access places that are out of reach. It is safer than a ladder. They are not frequently used, so it is wise to hire from plant hire companies.
Plant hire companies provide various cranes as per the requirement. They are of great use for shifting a large number of goods to high locations.
Most of the construction sites do not have an electric supply. Many of the plant hire companies provide generators for the construction site so that machinery can be operated efficiently.

'Multi-billion' rail cash investment to be announced
The government is expected to announce a plan of rail investment costing billions of pounds on Monday.
The programme will amount to £10bn during 2014-2019, the Guardian reports.
It includes a £500m scheme to electrify the Midland Main Line route between St Pancras, the east Midlands and Sheffield.
BBC political correspondent Louise Stewart quoted a government source as calling the rail investment programme "the biggest since the Victorian era."
Our correspondent said ministers wanted to "create growth and cut carbon".
Ministers say electric trains are lighter and more energy efficient, cutting the running cost and environmental impact of train services, and have faster acceleration.
The Department for Transport (DfT) has refused officially to confirm the report in the Guardian, which says PM David Cameron and his deputy Nick Clegg will join forces to make an announcement. The Press Association reported that Transport Secretary Justine Greening would set out the plan.
The Guardian reports that further plans include electrification of the Great Western Line from London to Swansea via Cardiff; a "northern hub" of new projects around Manchester; and an upgrade of parts of the East Coast Main Line from London to the north of England.
BBC Radio Derby political reporter Chris Doidge, meanwhile, said the Varsity line linking Oxford and Cambridge could also be reopened; most of it was closed to passengers following the Beeching Report in the 1960s.
The expected announcement follows the news on Thursday that a new £500m rail link to Heathrow Airport - which will cut journeys by up to 30 minutes - had been given the go-ahead.
A new stretch of track will be built from Slough to Heathrow which means that, from 2021, passengers travelling from south Wales, the west of England and the Thames Valley on the Great Western main line will no longer need to travel via London Paddington.
Industry 'wish list'
An announcement on rail investment had been expected as the government publishes an outline of future plans every five years. The proposals are based on the rail industry's recommendations and Network Rail - in charge of the infrastructure - and the train companies themselves also contribute to the funding.
Labour's shadow transport secretary Maria Eagle said rail investment was needed to deliver jobs and growth now - not after 2015.
"The Tory-led government cut the rail investment plans they inherited by more than three-quarters of a billion pounds and have presided over two years of dither and delay over vital rail projects and train procurement," she said.
"Setting out plans for way beyond the next election helps the industry to plan ahead, but does nothing to boost the economy now."
Passengers' group the Campaign for Better Transport said it welcomed more investment in rail but that this should not be funded by "massive fares increases".
"We are also concerned that any rail investment is likely to come alongside increased funding for roads and road schemes," it said. "A coherent transport policy, as opposed to a list of schemes, looks further away than ever."

A few years ago, I bought an artwork by John Simon Jr. that was executed as a Java class. Every Icon is a Java applet programmed to display each possible image that can be drawn in a grid 32 pixels wide and 32 pixels deep.
The artwork will take an impossibly long time to complete. Exhausting the possibilities of the first 32-pixel row takes over a year on most computers. Extending that to the second row will take 16 billion years on a PC with a Pentium processor (a few billion less on a Pentium III).
Adding to the work's geek cred, Simon was inspired by early icon-editing programs on the Macintosh:
It basically counts forward, from 0 to 10 to the 308th power. The number of atoms in the universe is 10 to the 80th. The number of possible images in the universe is much greater. I use a 32 X 32 black and white grid. I chose that, because that was the original Macintosh definition for an icon, when the first Mac system came out. With the old Macs, you went to the icon editor "ResEdit", where you could design you own icons by clicking on the different fields of this grid.
I'm the 63rd person to buy the artwork. Simon compiled the purchase date into the applet, so mine displays how far the class has gotten since it was created on May 15, 2000.
As Simon told Matt Mirapaul in the New York Times, the piece repudiates the jaded notion that "we've reached the end of imaging." Even within the simple limits of a 1,024-pixel black and white box, there's more potential images than we could ever take in.
I enjoy the piece for its glimpse of the infinite. I love the idea that a Java class could run for my lifetime and beyond, displaying a unique image each moment it is viewed that represents the passage of time since it began, iterating towards the end of a loop it will never reach.
At some point, I'd like to move this class to a solar-powered PDA, tablet PC, or another self-sustaining device so it can run forever and be inflicted on my heirs. Click the graphic to launch the applet in a desktop window using Java Web Start.
More Every Icon objects can be found on Enterzone, StadiumWeb, All My Life for Sale (#85), and Archives & Museums Informatics.

Gold Miners ETF Moves from One Inflection Point to Another
12/29/2017 10:36 am EST
Focus: COMMODITIES
The question is if the market will continue much higher and begin to confirm that the larger degree 3rd wave has begun, or if we will roll over to extend this 2nd wave pullback into early 2018?, writes Avi Gilburt, technical analyst and author of ElliottWaveTrader.net.
Ever since we broke down below the upper support region back in early September, and invalidated an immediate break-out set up, we have been looking for the VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX) to test the 21 region.
It was a point of support which could complete the larger degree wave ii, and begin the long-awaited start to a major 3rd wave rally. And, if it broke, it opened the door to the 17-19 region for a larger degree wave ii bottom.
In early December, we identified the more specific 20.89-21.26 support region, which, if held, could begin that major 3rd wave. But, since it would mean that this 2nd wave would have completed in an unorthodox manner, I noted that I would need to see confirmation that the market has truly bottomed.
As we now know with the benefit of hindsight, the GDX bottomed at 21.27 (within a penny of our support) and began a rally which came within pennies of our first resistance region of 22.30 before it pulled back. The weekend of Dec. 17, I noted that the market was likely set up to continue higher since the pullback looked corrective off the 22.30 region. During this past week, I presented you with the set up for the market to rally to an ideal target of 22.85, and, as the close of the week, the market struck a high so far of 22.92.
Thus far, the market has been rather predictable, at least within pennies of our targets. Now we are faced with another test being presented to this market. The question before us, which will likely be decided in the coming week or two, is if the market is going to continue much higher and begin to confirm that the larger degree 3rd wave has begun, or if we will roll over to extend this 2nd wave pullback into early 2018? And, as you can see from the attached 8-minute GDX chart, we now reside within that region of resistance where the market will have to make its decision.
From a targeting standpoint, I want to remind you that the larger degree wave iii should strike a minimal target of 50 in the GDX once we confirm that it has begun. Remember that the metals complex usually exceeds those standard expectations, as the 50 region is the 1.618 extension of waves i and ii, if wave ii is already completed. In fact, I would much rather target the 58-68 region for just wave iii at this time, assuming wave ii has completed.
I will need to see it break through the 23.30 region for me to begin to become a believer that the more immediately bullish yellow wave count on the daily chart is the operative count to follow into early 2018. Until such time, I remain quite cautious as we now reside at a resistance point that can turn us down again into early 2018 to extend wave ii.
As you can see, silver also resides within the resistance region. It will need to see a strong break out through this resistance to open the door to its potential bottoming confirmation. And, lastly, I have attached an 8-minute chart of SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) to outline what I would need to see to be convinced that we have 5 waves off its recent lows. Should that occur, you can see where I have GLD projected in the coming year on its daily chart.
In fact, once the GLD has confirmed it is in the heart of its 3rd wave, it will not take long until it returns to its prior all-time highs. But, again, I must stress how important it is for us to confirm the bottom has been struck before we get too excited about the impending 3rdwave rally. As you can see, there is plenty of room on the upside to garner significant profits during a 3rd wave, but it is of utmost importance to allow the market to confirm its intention before becoming too aggressive on the long side.
Lastly, as you can see from the attached Barrick Gold (ABX) chart, we also reside within that resistance region I have been highlighting for quite some time. So, I cannot say that the ABX is providing us insight beyond that which we have gleaned from the rest of the market.
At this point, I will leave you best wishes for a wonderfully enjoyable holiday season, as we await the next directional cue from the market regarding its intentions for early 2018.
You now have the relevant guidelines as to the market's potential paths. Best wishes for a healthy, happy, and profitable 2018.
See charts illustrating the wave counts on the Silver, GDX, GLD & ABX.

Everyone has a story on the Islington Faces Blog. Diane Burridge grew up in the Australian outback. She arrived in Britain in 1975, first living and teaching science at a secondary school in Brixton, before settling in Islington in 1981 with partner David Braine. Interview by Nicola Baird
Nothing seems to stop Diane Burridge, 61, enjoying what's on offer locally – whether it is shopping at her nearest shops, helping run events at the Ecology Centre off Drayton Park, N5, or being on the committee for a street party for neighbours.
Diane's organisational skills have brought in a lot of money in areas where she has worked in London, thanks to her know-how about where to go for funding. For most of her UK working life her day job has seen her working on regeneration projects in London. "I've raised tonnes of funding over the years, but I'm not a fundraiser. Raising money has been part of my job, just part of being a manager."
Over a year ago Diane took early retirement, giving her time to be a Games Maker at the 2012 Olympics. And she's dusted off her classroom skills, so she's back teaching chemistry GCSE three and a half days a week, plus lecturing part-time on regeneration at University College London (UCL). She's also a committee member of the Highbury Community Association, the London Forum, and Friends of Gillespie Park (the latter since 1987).
Perhaps it's no surprise that she can juggle heavy workloads as from 1986-1994 she was also the local councillor for Gillespie Ward (now roughly Highbury West and at that time an unpaid role) taking on spells as chair of Economic Development, chair of the Environment Committee and also Deputy Leader.
"I was working full time, nearby, and so I could manage the workload which took up about 25 hours a week," explains Diane who is well known for rushing to multiple meetings in an evening by bike (perhaps an obvious way of getting around as she does not have a car).
She claims it was her childhood in Western Australia that shaped her into a political activist. "I was very young when my parents divorced. Very few people divorced in the 1950s but my mother was this young divorcee working in the outback as a bush nurse with two young children [Di's sister is a year younger]. The treatment of single mothers and the low pay for nurses, as well as the harshness of our lives, gave me a lot of my politics. We moved a lot. We lived in one town, Mukinbudin where there was just one main shop only open on Friday afternoons – the next nearest town was 30 miles away. It was wheatbelt country on the edge of the desert. They were still clearing land then – we used to help out by pulling out the huge roots of shrubs."
"I'd see herds of emus and kangaroos and the sky would be covered with birds. We also stayed with my aunt every holidays and where she lived the nearest northern town was 300 miles away."
"There was no resident doctor in Mukinbudin. My mother was the local vet, doctor and nurse all rolled into one. She even had to drive her own trail across the desert to reach some Aborigine families."
Living in the outback, moving often, Diane's education could have been very patchy but she won a scholarship to a Methodist Girls' boarding school, and went on to secure a free university place in 1969 to study geology. After graduating she travelled the world for three years on her own – working as she went. "These experiences made me very independent, self-sufficient and perhaps a bit too fearless," says Diane.
Islington report card
Despite the huge amount of energy she's invested locally over the past 30 years, Diane is proudest of the campaign that saved Gillespie Park, just behind Arsenal tube. Not only did she and others (including Angela Sinclair-Loutit, Pat Tuson, Chris Ashby, Sue Jandy and Rev Stephen Coles) guarantee a green space for Islington they also began the tradition of running a free festival on the second Sunday in September which attracts more than 2,000 locals. The 27th Gillespie Festival will be 8 September 2013.
With so many cuts anticipated over the next few years, it's worth remembering Diane's tips on how to protest successfully. "Campaigns are so hard and so much work. You have to be patient and resilient," says Diane. "It took three years to save Gillespie Park but we worked as a team and shared the work."
Her other tip is not to dwell on the past – "I like looking forward. I don't like looking back. " Even so as a regeneration specialist she has some thoughts on how fast Islington is changing with ever-rising private house prices and rentals. "Physically Islington has got better but it's suburbanisation. I cycle and used to notice the little work spaces, small factories, family-run shops and children's homes (at Highbury and Ambler Roads). That variety of use of buildings has diminished. Even the football stadium was turned into housing! We are getting a divided community."
"I do see the social glue weakening, not helped by greater disparity of incomes between people. That's why playgrounds in parks and free festivals are so important. They are the areas or occasions when people who reflect the local population can mix."
Shops are another melting pot where Diane reckons people can chat and invest in local businesses. "I find it very sad that local shops are closing down. I refuse to shop in superstores – and only use small local shops. Her favourites are Whites Fruit and Veg, butcher David Mayers and La Princesse all on Blackstock Road, and the Arsenal Food Store on Gillespie Road. "David and I know lots of really nice local people, helped by being active in the community. We feel so lucky to have been able to have bought a house here 27 years ago and to live in this wonderful part of London. We'll never move."
2013 Gillespie Festival – Sunday 8 September. Entrance is free. Open from approx 2-5pm.
Over to you
How much do you get involved in Islington life – do you find it a way to make friends or something to be proud about doing? By the way, if you'd like to feature on this blog, or make a suggestion about anyone who grew up, lives or works in Islington please let me know, via email@example.com. Thank you.

You are currently browsing the category archive for the 'shopping' category.
Yes, I've been a slacker. Being a new mom is not conducive to well, anything except nursing, changing diapers, and trying to sleep. In addition, we've been dealing with some digestive issues with Lillian that have necessitated me cutting out dairy and soy. Do you know how hard it is to avoid all dairy and soy? Really freaking hard. Pretty much eating out and any prepared food at all – anything that comes frozen or bottled – is out. I now have to read ingredient lists obsessively, call restaurants in advance and ask about what they cook with, and mostly just cook all my own food. And while this is probably way healthier than the plethora of junk food we enjoyed during Lillian's first six weeks, it is very time consuming. I'm kind of over it. It's been three weeks so far and there's no end in sight. Some of Lillian's more distressing symptoms are gone (specs of blood in the diaper, discomfort) but some remain (lots and lots of green poop. you asked).
Have you ever heard of soy lethicin? Neither had I until this happened. It's in EVERYTHING. And so is soy oil. Crisco, margarine, and vegetable oil are all made from soy. It turns out soy is way harder to avoid than dairy.
On the plus side, we've re-upped our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture – weekly organic vegetables) subscription and have started shopping at the farmer's market on the weekend. I've also become a huge fan of Jamie Oliver's Food Nation. He's right – there are way too many ingredients in most of the food we get at the store. Everything at the farmer's market is made locally and doesn't have ingredients you don't recognize. It's nice. We're subsisting mainly on rice, vegetables, and meat. And that's not a bad thing really. Because bacon is meat. Bacon is my new cheese.
Meanwhile, the baby is doing great. Her skin looks great, she's sleeping great. She's cute as a button. Well, cuter because who ever said buttons were cute? But she's dang cute. She's 10 weeks old, is hopefully approaching 10 lbs, and is 10x more fun than she was a few weeks ago. Lots of smiling, happy shrieking, scooting, and general trouble-making. And mama is having a hard time not buying her cute new clothes every day.
I can go several days with relatively little pain (though I won't say discomfort – having a tiny person inside you is not always comfortable), and then all hell breaks loose and my body goes into full rebellion mode. Currently I've got some round ligament pain – it was bad yesterday, not so bad today – lower back pain, and my latest issue is hip pain while sleeping. I used to get this once in a while when I slept on a soft surface like a couch, and assumed it was circulation-related. That makes sense, since pregnancy messes with circulation quite a bit. But now I wake up with one or both hips burning every couple hours and have to stretch them a bit to get back to sleep.
At first I could mitigate it by using the dreaded foam roller before bed, but now it doesn't seem to make a dent in the pain. Luckily, I have yoga tonight and a visit to the chiropractor tomorrow (which includes a blessed massage).
However, I'm going to have to resort to buying yet another horribly named pregnancy aid, the Snoogle. Who the fuck comes up with these names? Preggie Pops? Snoogle? Could they be any more annoying? I think not. Yes, pregnant women are kind of cute. I revel in my pregnant cuteness. But please do some market research on your audience and recognize that some of us still have two brain cells to rub together. /end rant
Next week we're flying to Santa Barbara for Thanksgiving, baby shower #1 and other assorted revelry. I'm not looking forward to the flight, but hopefully it will go smoothly. And there will be much tasty food on hand that I can enjoy. Bonus!
I've been asking around and it seems like all parents have one particular gadget that made their lives with newborn easier. So far I've heard about the papasan chair, a voice activated white noise and vibration gadget, the ergobaby carrier, and the drop in stroller. My goal is to stay as compact as possible, since babies are always developmentally cycling through everything and then needing new stuff. For example, in the interest of compacting, we're going to ditch the traditional stroller and just get the drop in and the aforementioned Bob all-terrain. But seriously, if it lets me sleep or function, I want it. Tell me what it is.
When it comes to decorating, I'm allergic to pastels. This poses quite a challenge when designing a baby room. I'm not registering for many decor items because I'm hoping to refurbish or make many of them myself (with a little help from friends and family). The room "theme" (I hate themes) is eclectic with a little modern and some East Indian influence. And elephants. Can't visualize it? Don't worry, there will be lots of pictures when it's finished.
On the pregnancy front I'm doing pretty well. The nausea and general squeamishness are mostly gone, except for isolated incidents. My appetite is better, but I'm still not gaining weight. I'm having intermittent round ligament pain and general lower back soreness, but am still able to walk a good distance so that helps. I have way more energy. I'm sleeping okay, though not nearly as heavily as the first trimester, but I'm having lots of vivid, creepy dreams. I could do without those. I had to ditch yoga this last week because of a conflict, so we'll see if it kicks my ass this week.
So what gadgets could you have not survived early parenthood without? Leave me some ideas in the comments section!
God help me, I'm starting to have to physically restrain myself from buying kiddie stuff. The link from my last entry, Nerdy Baby, is full of the awesome. I'm going to have to get one of the prints for the nursery.
My mother in law bought me some totally adorable Carter's onesie sets at Babies R Us today. All hot pink and purple and green with panda feet and things too unspeakably cute to mention.
But then there's Threadless. I'm sunk. Where you can get this. And this. And this. Help!
Don't even get me started on books. First, there's shiny new copies of all the books I loved (and trashed) when I was a kid. And then there's hip cool new books with Buddhist fables, and board books with Haiku, and Monsters! If I'm not careful I'm going to be dressing and diapering my kid in pages ripped from books because I forgot about everything else I'm going to need. Who needs a diaper pail when you have this?
I think I have some issues to work out.

What sort of hosting does your website need? This is one of the first questions that neophyte web owners may ask. Truly, the internet hosting you need would largely rely upon the goals of your website. In the event you would be putting up a web site just for personal use, like a weblog, which your pals can access just to know what is new and occurring with you, then you definately would probably not be needing a complicated type of website hosting. You may just settle for the cheapest plan available. You might also want to try free website hosting too. A well-established web hosting provider sometimes hosts up to thousands of websites.Advertisements

iPowerWeb is a popular web hosting company that hosts more than 300,000 websites. For that reason, a web hosting company need many web servers (essentially, these are computers) to 'store' the website. And all these web servers are connected to the Internet through high speed Internet connection and housed in a physical building called 'data center'. In order to guarantee all the web servers are safe, secure and fully operational all time, a data center is a physically secure 24/7 environment with fire protection, HVAC temperature control, virus detections, computer data backup, redundant power backup and complete disaster recovery capabilities.
Web hosting is the business practice of providing space and bandwidth on a high-powered computer server that is connected to the Internet at very high speeds. Hosting companies maintain large networks of high-powered web server computers in a physical location known as a data center. Web hosting can be a very difficult decision with the many thousands of hosting companies out there. It is critical to find a plan that fits your needs and to have a good hosting company. I hope this article was useful in making your decision about which company to host with. Happy Hosting!
