Everything I know about picking raspberries, I learned from my Grandmother
As far back as my memories go, my grandparents have had a long row of raspberry plants in their garden. Technically, they didn't move into that house, or plant those raspberries until I was 3 or 4... but I don't remember that far back! These raspberry plants are pretty prolific, and they produce some seriously delicious berries.
My grandmother had a long tradition of bartering and sharing her raspberries. She'd give pints of berries to the people at the print shop who printed up her newsletters for the local Sierra Club, she'd share them with friends, trade for services... Not to mention eat them for dessert almost every night.
When they're at their peak, these plants seriously pump out the berries. This is our first year having a raspberry crop without my grandmother, and it gives us a chance to appreciate what a faithful and dedicated picker she was! Nowadays, we split it up and spread it out through the week so that everyone gets a chance to eat the berries and do the work.
This morning I picked 8 strawberry baskets of raspberries in one hour! In the spirit of my grandma, we kept a couple, and distributed the rest amongst friends and family.
Over the years, my grandmother gave me all sorts of tips for picking raspberries. Here's what I learned, in case you have an opportunity to go berry picking!
- A properly ripe raspberry should come off with a very gentle touch. At the most, an encouraging tug is fine, but if you tug and it doesn't come off - leave it be for now. It's not ripe yet! The best is if you just touch it and it falls into your hand. The worst is if you just touch it and it falls down into the jungle of thorny raspberry plants. So tragic!
- A ripe raspberry should be a bright, deep red. If it's still orangey-pink, it's not ripe yet. Generally, the darker the sweeter. If they get too dark though, they start to get more seed-y and less fruit-y. I love 'em a little on the tangy side... fire engine red!
- If you find a berry that has gone past its prime (so sad!), you should still pick it & discard it. This will help encourage future berry production for your belly's satisfaction!
- All the good berries are in hard to find spots: down low, under leaves, in the middle. You gotta get down low and hunt for them! Nowadays, when I go a-pickin' I pretty much hunker down, and start lifting leaves, and searching into the depths of the plants - until my arms are all scratched up and I can't see any more berries. Then I scoot over a couple of feet and repeat the whole process.
I love raspberry picking. I feel so close to my grandma when I'm out there in the garden... I think of her the whole time and all the countless, countless times we picked raspberries together and then enjoyed them together. They are a real family staple - at birthday parties, family gatherings, served over ice cream or with cookies or cake... It's neat to see that now my nephews are fans of raspberries... it's become a generational part of our family. We're all so spoiled and grateful to have all these delicious raspberries at our fingertips. It's not uncommon for people to disappear into the raspberry patch for a few minutes before they even make it inside to say hello!
These are SO good plain and fresh, I almost never get around to cooking with them. But if you have any recipe suggestions, I'm always interested in hearing your ideas!

Aww, such a wonderful post & informative too! I'll think of you & your Grandmother next time I make something with raspberries.ReplyDelete
Raspberries are the best! My mom used to have a raspberry bush when I was younger, and there are some wild raspberries that grow by our cabin, so I have fond childhood memories of them, as well. Thanks for the tips! I'll use those the next time I go picking raspberries. :)ReplyDelete
There is nothing better than freshly picked raspberries. We used to have a raspberry bush but my dad cut it down. =(ReplyDelete
That photo of raspberries up top stopped me dead in my track- They're my absolute favorite! Last year, I picked so many that I would eat about 2 pints a day... We all joked that pretty soon I would turn into a raspberry! Alas, they're not yet in season and I can only drool over yours for now...ReplyDelete
What a beautiful post. Thank you for relating how wonderful the raspberries are, as well as sharing the experiences of your family with us.ReplyDelete
Raspberry-picking is so much fun - I haven't done it in years, and I miss it!! So lovely that raspberry-picking brings back such fond memories for you :0)ReplyDelete
Such sweet memories! I am absolutely determined to go berry picking this summer. I'm also planning on putting in some berry bushes at our new house - the prospect of future berries out the back door is so exciting! :-)ReplyDelete

Thanks for the tips! I'm envious of your berries. We planted a small blueberry bush a couple years ago but it's still not producing much. Now I wish we would've planted several more.ReplyDelete
These are in your garden? I'd love to see a photo -- we've been debating whether or not we could fit a brambling berry bush in our little yard :)ReplyDelete
I LOVE raspberries! and they must taste all the better given those special memories. Go see Veggiegirl for a great looking raspberry idea.ReplyDelete
Cheers, Girlfriend! :)
Grandmothers really are the best aren't they? You've captured and shared an awesome memory of yours! I love your tip about hunkering down and shifting leaves about to find the best berries-it's so true! I remember berry picking last summer, and the people around me gave up so easily and complained that there were no berries. My boyfriend and I were squatting in front of raspberry bushes picking to our heart's content! We walked away with so many berries, and past those complainers. So much fun. Thanks for sharing your tips.ReplyDelete
I remember picking blackberries with my great-aunt in BC, I loved it, I didn't even mind the spiders (which were everywhere and big!). There's something so fun and juicy about picking your own berries!ReplyDelete
I love raspberries! We used to have a blackberry bush outside my old house and it was always so much fun picking + eating + baking them!ReplyDelete
That's a pretty good haul of raspberries and they're so perfectly ripe and red! I have one raspberry bush at home, and it's been spreading well for a couple of years. The problem is that my dogs steal every ripe raspberry before I can get to it!ReplyDelete
...and, it occurs to me that raspberries aren't properly vegan.ReplyDelete
Have you ever left them out after picking them or washed them and spread them to drain? Do a zillion trillion tiny spiders and other crawlies come out of the berries or is that just the berries I pick here in the Bay Area?

Yahoo, kuehs are good for you!
But, my erudite inner self told me that .... perhaps I should peruse the article further to find out the scientific logic behind this, though my instincts told me, YES, IT HAD TO BE TRUE, KUIH, and by extension, cake or dessert IS GOOD FOR YOU and helps maintain good bowel habits. Butttt, as it turns out.......
BAHHHHGEROOOO!!! Talk about bad placement of words in BOLD. Howwwww misleading is that!!! WHO puts "these are not only lower in terms of calorie content, they contain more fibre..blah blah blah" NEXT to a tempting picture of kueh kosui covered in coconut? Makes sense what, coconut got fibre, so they contain more fibre. Chis bedebah big time!
Reason No 2 is because since I bake, I like la. The same way one loves one's offspring, the fruit of your loins, it stands to reason that one would like the work of your hands too. Recently, I have been having a thing for yoghurt, ever since trying Chef Collin Lim's Apple Yoghurt Cake, from the Nutriplus cook book.
For this delectable recipe, do buy the Nutriplus Cookbook, Think out of the Shell, as featured in THIS post. The cake is deliciously buttery and moist.
The 3rd reason why I like dessert is, its full of vitamins and is a wholesome meal in itself. Case in point, this Lemon Yoghurt Poppy Seed cake, which I was inspired to make after making Collin's apple yoghurt cake. It has lemon, which is packed with vitamin C. And ...flour is from the wheat right? and wheat is from the ground? So flour is a vegetable.
Butter is from Milk, and Milk is from cows, and cows eat grass. Since YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT, cows are theoretically grass based, so are vegetables too. Stands to reason that milk is also a vegetable, and so is butter. There's even some poppy seed, from which opium is derived, to give you a slight high.
The 3.5th reason why I like dessert, and its only half a reason, because its not a full reason, I get to write a whole blog post about it.
Just so this post hasnt been read entirely in vain, here is the recipe for the Lemon Yoghurt Poppy Seed Cake, by yours truly.
250gm butter
3/4 cup castor sugar
4 eggs
3/4 cup natural yoghurt
1/3 cup poppy seed
Rind of 1 lemon
Juice of 1 lemon
2 cups Self Raising Flour
Cream butter and sugar, as usual. Add eggs one by one. With mixer on slow, chuck in half of all the remaining ingredients. Mix a bit, then chuck in the rest. Bake at 170C in an 8" pan for 45-50 minutes. Serve with pure cream, or ice with lemon cream cheese frosting.

NUUO Crystal features recording failover function to safeguard server uptime and performance consistency. The failover function can be assigned and managed as a cluster, so that N+M redundancy can be achieved. The NVR supports internal redundant power supplies. This ensures seamless operation even when the primary power supply has failed. Failed power supplies can be replaced while system is still operating.
The NVR features support for unlimited numbers of cameras, 3rd party access control systems, POS, and I/O devices. Any number of users and user groups may be assigned for different levels of management rights, monitoring points, and event processing. Combined with the intuitive NuClient software to provide centralized live view and playback video stream, NUUO Crystal provides the user with total control over the entire system at their fingertips.
Utilizing a custom recording technology known as File Ring, NUUO Crystal is able to handle high megapixel recordings. The NVR is able to maintain data throughput up to 250 Mb/s for a single volume, 400 Mb/s for 2 volumes, and 500 Mb/s for 3 volumes.

tis the season that Fox News pundits get to pretend to be very angry about the totally factual and scary War on Christmas. i know this b/c i do on occasion watch some Fox News, and my mother and her husband most certainly watch a lot of Fox News and they are totally pissed off about how Christmas is under attack.
now i, like most Atheists, find this ridiculous. not that there aren't some silly stunts being pulled by secular folk in protest to certain things that mix Christmas and public land or schools. these things do happen every year, but they are really small potatoes in the big picture. but the outrage that people like Bill O'Reilly are feigning are off the charts. last night, his first two segments were dedicated to this so called war. he had on the RI Governor whose great crime was to continue his predecessor's tradition of calling their Christmas tree a "Holiday" tree. the horror!!
personally i see nothing wrong with calling it a Christmas tree. that's what it is. however, if a state or community or town want to be more inclusive to non-Christians then i don't see a problem with that either. regardless, the furor over a semantic issue is so overblown. there is no war on Christmas. Americans celebrate an entire Christmas season. it lasts a month, with lights, santa, parades, decorations, shopping, tv specials, etc. to be in such an uproar is sheer Christian persecution syndrome. they want to be persecuted.
the so called war on Christmas is really nothing more than correcting Christian overreach. they've gotten away with so many abuses when it comes to religion in public life. now that secular groups like the FFRF, American Atheists, and the ACLU have seen their power increase due to an uptick in non-theists and secular progressives, many of their overreaches are being targeted. and in most cases the seculars win. these losses are their proof that there is a war on Christmas. not so - it's a leveling of the playing field.
the governor of RI summed it up nicely in his segment with O'Reilly. he said "you folks at Fox are just so angry". tis the season! ho ho ho, Merry Christmas!

Not a Yule tree here.. Start of Summer here in Australia so I am not going to celebrate winter solstice.
I do celebrate Christmas though. the festival of catching up with family and friends, eating too much and spoiling my kids. I think there's something on at the local churches at the same time too though.
There's an endless supply of easily manipulated viewers out here.
When BillO gets them, Fox Noise can raise its advertising rates and pay BillO more.
You mean, like the Christian right-wing anti-gay darling, Chick-Fil-A? They were on Liberty Counsel's "Nice" list of Christmas promoters -- despite their "holiday", not "Christmas", offerings -- until being quietly scrubbed days ago.
Jon Stewart sets the record straight:
That. Was. Brilliant!
Thing is, I doubt Faux Noise could exist without bitching about something having to do with telling exceptionally outre christians to please keep it in their pants. Without it, it's entirely possible that Roger Ailes' entire crew would suffer collective narcolepsy (gee, wouldn't it be nice if...).
ever wonder why the right can't make shows like Colbert, Stewart, or Maddow? are they just not funny or clever? or is it just lack of material?

TEMPE, Ariz. — Success in life cannot be measured by the world's standards, but comes from loving God and his children, said Mitt Romney on Saturday evening.
Speaking at a conference for young single adult members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the former U.S. presidential candidate said that he has never been able to find a formula for worldly success. "There is a great deal of chance, or serendipity, or even luck to success in business, in politics, in science, in academics, in investments, in winning and losing."
Therefore, the bad news is that if people define their lives by the standards of the world, then their success is something out of their control or something left to chance.
"The good news is that by God's measure, success is entirely within your control. It is not in any way subject to serendipity or luck or chance. It is up to you alone."
Romney and his wife, Ann, spoke during the final general session of the three-day YSA conference — held in the Grady Gammage Auditorium on the Arizona State University campus and attended by members of five local stakes. The stake presidents were seated on the stand.
"I am the only man on the stage that is not president," quipped Romney. "I tried to fix that."
Romney was invited to speak at the conference by President Paul E. Gilbert of the Tempe Arizona YSA Stake and the chairman of Romney's presidential campaign in Arizona.
"I understand the theme of the conference is about obstacles," said Romney, noting that given the outcome of his presidential campaigns people think he knows something about obstacles.
He said during the recent campaign he participated in 20 different presidential debates in the primary contest and three in the general election. He and Ann Romney attended hundreds of fundraising events and spoke more than 1,000 times. The last year of his campaign, the Romneys spent more than 300 nights in hotel rooms.
"So a lot of people look back on that and say, 'It must have been awful.'" But, he said, "I loved it. It was fabulous. It was a great experience. If you get the chance to run for president, do it."
The thing that made it wonderful, he said, was that "I met extraordinary people."
A presidential campaign is an obstacle, he said. "It is a challenge. But it is also a terrific experience."
That, he said, is the paradox of obstacles. "You pray not to have them. They are frightening. They are daunting. And yet they are some of the best experiences of your life."
Noting that he was not talking about "tragic obstacles," he said many obstacles can be a vehicle for learning, "where you grow in ways you could not imagine."
Romney said many things in the gospel of Jesus Christ are also paradoxical. For example, the Jews expected the Messiah to be a great and powerful king; what they got instead was the son of a carpenter. And the prophet of the Restoration was not a minister; he was a 14-year-old boy from upstate New York.
"I think God must be telling us something in the way these paradoxes surprise us — where what we are given is so different from what we expect. I think what he is telling us is what we value may not be what he values. What we see as important may not be what he sees as important."
Romney said Jesus defines success as "loving God and loving his children by serving them."
During her remarks, Ann Romney shared her conversion story and spoke about "how I came to the knowledge of the Savior."
She grew up in a home that "never had any religious experience."
Then as a teenager she began dating Mitt Romney. One night Ann asked him about his religion. "What do Mormons believe?" she said.
What happened next was "the most extraordinary experience of my life," she said.
"He said, 'We believe in God the Eternal Father, in his son Jesus Christ and in the Holy Ghost.' Something happened to me when he said that. The spirit whispered to me so strongly that what he said was true that I burst into tears."
Ann Romney said something had happened in her heart.
From that point on, even though she had not yet studied the teachings of the LDS Church, "I knew the gospel Mitt was teaching me about was true," she said. "It opened my heart. Then I became extremely teachable to all these other things I needed to learn."
Ann Romney said the knowledge that God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost were real became the foundation of her future life.
She said that having her husband run for president of the United States and lose was something most people "think was really tough."
But "it is OK," she said. "I still have the gospel of the Jesus Christ. I still have my husband. I still have my family. Everything is OK."

options for birth and soothing pain.
exploring your birth choices…
It's your birth. We give you loads of options to plan it.
Bringing a life into the world is an amazing experience. You don't want anything to take away from that joy. So deciding where and how you give birth is a pretty big deal.
When you have your prenatal care at Baby+Company, you increase your options for having the birth you want.
At our birth center, you choose who will be with you during birth. No limitations. While you're in labor, you'll be free to do what your body tells you— whether it's walking, soaking in a warm tub, or nibbling on snacks for energy.
But one thing is never optional—safety. You'll have watchful, comforting guidance from your midwife who is with you the whole time, making sure you and your baby get the right care.
If there's ever a need for more care, we've already teamed up with Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center and Novant Health Providence OB/GYN for quick and seamless transfers.
If that's outside of your comfort zone–or you need another level of care–you can have your prenatal care with us and plan a hospital birth.
It's your birth on your terms. And we'd love to help you plan it.
answers to help you decide
We know you have questions before you decide where to have your baby, so we prepared some answers to common questions about giving birth in our center and in the hospital.
Helping you explore a wide range of possibilities is what we love to do. We're here when you're ready to start the conversation.
i'm wondering about…
…labor and birth at the birth center
Who is eligible to give birth at the birth center? (read more)
At the birth center, our midwives take care of women who have a low risk of problems during pregnancy and birth.
How do you know if you are low-risk?
Come talk with us. To assess your risk level, we'll ask some questions, including:
- Have you had a cesarean birth?
- Are you pregnant with one baby, twins, or more?
- Do you have any health conditions or illnesses?
- Have you had any serious problems in past pregnancies?
- What was your weight before you got pregnant?
If your risk level suggests that a hospital birth is best for you, you may still be able to have your prenatal care with us.
Throughout pregnancy, we're always checking for changes in your level of risk. If problems develop that increase your risk, we'll help you get the care you need.
But, remember, our prenatal care is about more than watching for problems. We're all about improving your health and lowering your risk of developing a problem in the first place!
How safe is birth at a birth center? (read more)
Very safe. In fact, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has stated it believes "that hospitals and accredited birth centers are the safest settings for birth."
Baby+Company cares for women with low-risk pregnancies. Research shows that for a woman with low risks, giving birth at a birth center:
- is as safe as a hospital birth
- has health benefits for mothers and babies, such as a low chance of having a cesarean birth
Even so, childbirth isn't 100% predictable. That's why we've built safety into our plans. We're all set for a quick transfer to Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center if ever there's a need. We've thought through all the what-ifs, so you can breathe easy and be in the moment.
What are the possible health benefits of a birth center birth? (read more)
What are the possible health benefits of a birth center birth?
Large studies show that midwife care at birth centers leads to great outcomes. In fact, there are too many health benefits to list here! They include:
- High chance of having a vaginal birth
- Low risk of damage to the perineum (area between the vagina and the anus)
- Low chance of having a cesarean birth
- Low chance of having an episiotomy (a cut made in the perineum to make the vagina larger for birth)
- Low chance of infection
- High chance of a successful start to breastfeeding
What happens during labor at Baby+Company? (read more)
We follow your lead, tending to your birth as it unfolds over time. That means every labor and birth is a little different. The stories of moms who gave birth with us explain it best. But we'd like to share a bit about what we'll do to guide you and your partner through a satisfying childbirth experience:
- Your team will be there with you throughout your entire labor and birth. You'll already know the midwives and nurses from your prenatal care. So you'll be with familiar faces in a comfortable, familiar place.
- We'll carefully monitor you and your baby. We're always watchful without getting in your way. For example, we use handheld, wireless Doppler monitors so we can check your baby's heartbeat at regular intervals whether you're walking around or sitting in a warm shower.
- You'll wear your own clothes. Choosing what you wear (or don't wear) will help you feel comfortable during labor. Bring a few options in case you change your mind about what feels best. And, we have a cozy robe ready for you to try, too.
- You'll be free to move when and how you wish for comfort. We have birth balls, bars, special stools and all kinds of ways to help you find comfortable positions.
- You'll eat and drink as you wish. You have to keep your energy up and your body knows what it needs. You're welcome to bring your favorite foods and store them in our kitchen.
Everything we do, we do to help you feel safe and in control.
How many people can I have with me during labor and birth at Baby+Company? (read more)
As many as you would like! You can make your birth an event for the whole family and friends, too. Or you can be as private as you wish.
And if you want certain people close – but not too close – we have a comfortable waiting room. We even have toys and videos for children.
If you choose to have your kids with you, we'll give you tips to prepare them for this very special experience. We're here to support the wellbeing of every member of your growing family.
What are my options for soothing pain during labor and birth? (read more)
Through study and experience, our midwives have mastered the art of providing comfort for labor and birth. The trust you build with your midwife during prenatal care will ease fear and increase your confidence. That alone is a big part of coping well during labor
With your midwife beside you, simple things like walking, massage, controlled breathing, and other relaxation techniques are very helpful.
The chart below lists other comfort measures we have for you in our birth center and at the hospital.
With such a broad range of options and the freedom to follow your own cues and instincts, almost everyone will find something that works to soothe their pain. We asked women who gave birth with us if they had enough support and comfort to manage their pain, and 96% said they did!

Can I use a doula? (read more)
Yes, of course!
A doula is trained to provide comfort and support to a woman and her family during labor. We think they're a wonderful part the birth team.
If you choose to hire a doula, we have a network of doulas that we can introduce you to, or you can introduce us to the one you find on your own. Either way your doula will be warmly welcomed!
When do I have to decide where to give birth? (read more)
We'll talk to you about which options are safe for you at your very first visit, and you can decide then where you would like to give birth, or take some time to decide. Conversations during group visits, classes, and online resources are all good ways to sort through what's important to you.
As your pregnancy develops, we'll keep the conversation going, always considering what's best for your health and safety. It's important to keep in mind that only women with a low risk of problems can give birth in our center.
Near the end of your pregnancy, we will help you put together your birth plan. We'll continue to assess your risk level right up until labor to make sure a birth center birth is safe for you. If there's a change, we'll get you the care you need just around the corner at Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center.
Most women remain low risk and go on to have the birth they've hoped for at Baby+Company.
…what happens after a birth at the center
Who checks my baby's health? (read more)
While you're savoring your first cuddle with your baby skin-to-skin on your chest, your midwife and nurse will be doing their first check on your baby's health. But don't worry. We're not going to be fussing with your baby the whole time! Your midwife will step back at just the right moment so you can get to know the miraculous little addition to your family.
But we'll still keep a careful watch over you. And remember, we're right around the corner from Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center and ready to go if there are signs of a problem.
Before you and your baby go home, the midwife and nurse will:
- look for signs your baby is ready to breastfeed and help you get started
- do a full head-to-toe newborn exam
- do all routine newborn procedures
After you go home, we'll continue to check your baby's health and do all appropriate screening tests for the next 2-3 days. If there are any concerns, we'll work with your pediatric care provider or the neonatal providers at Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center.
How long do I stay in the birth center? (read more)
Most families go home between 4 and 6 hours after birth, but some stay up to 12 hours. This may seem like a small amount of time, but baby+company families are ready.
How do we know? Because we asked. In our postpartum Client Experience Survey, more than 99% of our new moms agreed that, "I had the information and support I needed to go home from the birth center and care for myself and my baby."
Families are ready because they learn a lot about breastfeeding, self-care and safety, and because we stay in touch after you go home and provide close follow-up care.
During pregnancy, you and your partner will learn how to prepare to bring baby home in your Newborn and Breastfeeding classes. During your prenatal visits, you and midwives will make a personalized plan for your postpartum and newborn care.
Before you go home, your nurse and midwife will review what you need to know, and make sure you know how to reach them day or night if you have questions. After you go home, we will check up on you and your baby at your TouchCare video visit and your home visit.
Of course, if you or your baby needs a longer recovery or any closer monitoring after the birth, we will transfer you to WakeMed Cary hospital for the rest of your postpartum/newborn stay.
What happens after I go home? (read more)
The next day: We'll check on you with a video call. We want to see you with that little one.
Two days after birth: Your nurse or midwife will visit you at home. (Families who live outside of our home visiting area will come back to see us at our center.) During this visit, the nurse or midwife will:
- examine you and your baby
- complete common newborn screening exams
- check to see how your baby is nursing
- find out how all of you are feeling as you go through the big changes during your first days at home
3-7 days after birth: You'll take your baby for a visit with your pediatrician. We'll make sure your baby's health records are all delivered.
6 weeks after birth: You'll come back to see us for a check-up. We hope you'll bring your baby, too! And we hope that you'll continue your care with us so we can continue our connection with you.
You see, after sharing your 40-week journey, we don't suddenly stop caring about your wellbeing. With our well-woman services we can still be part of your healthy future.
…what if there's a problem at any time
If I choose a birth center birth and have a complication, what happens? (read more)
Our midwives have the skills and equipment to manage many common problems during labor and birth. They're also trained to know when hospital care is needed.
If that happens, we call the staff at Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center so they're ready for us. Your midwife will go to the hospital with you. In most situations, a private car is the best way to travel the short distance.
What happens at the hospital? (read more)
Your midwife will stay with you until the doctor has prepared the plan for your care. Then, and only then, will your midwife leave you safely in the trusted hands of the care team at Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center.
How many women transfer from a birth center to a hospital and why? (read more)
In a large study of birth centers in the US, just under 2 out of 100 women or babies (about 2%) transferred from a birth center to a hospital because of an urgent condition. In the vast majority of these cases, the women and babies were just fine.
In the same study, 11 out of 100 women (11%) transferred from a birth center to a hospital for a non-urgent reason, such a stalled labor or wanting an epidural.
…choosing a hospital birth
If I have a hospital birth, will I have a chance to meet the team that will take care of me during labor? (read more)
We know it's important to meet all the people who might care for you. So, we have regular open house events where you can say hello to our care team.
What happens during labor and birth at the hospital? (read more)
When you go into labor you will call a Baby+Company midwife. We will know your birth plan and help you navigate the medical and non-medical interventions that are available to you at the hospital.
For women at low-risk of complications, Novant Health's protocols are flexible enough to allow for minimal medical intervention unless it is needed. For example, women can choose intermittent (at set times) fetal monitoring rather than continuous monitor and only need to have an IV if there is a medical reason.
Can I still have a natural birth at the hospital? (read more)
Absolutely! Baby+Company midwives will be with you during labor and bring the knowledge and ability to coach you through a natural labor in the hospital. Not every comfort measure that we have in the birth center is available in the hospital but we still have many tools available to help support you to have a successful natural birth. There is strong evidence that one of the most important enablers of a natural birth is the supportive presence of someone who believes in your ability to have a successful natural birth. If that's your goal its our gaol too.
Is water birth available? (read more)
At Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center, women are welcome to labor in the water but are not able to have a water birth.
What does newborn care look like at the hospital? (read more)
The neonatal nurse practitioner on call for Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center will do an initial newborn exam. Your baby will receive all of their routine tests and procedures before they leave the hospital.
When can my baby and I go home from the hospital? (read more)
For a normal vaginal birth, families generally stay at least 24 hours in the hospital after birth. The hospital stay is at least 2 days after a cesarean birth.
Can I still have my postpartum care at Baby+Company if I have a hospital birth? (read more)
No matter where you give birth, you are always welcome to come back into care at Baby+Company and/or to attend one of our New Mom's Groups if that is your preference. If you transferred to the hospital in labor, you will see or speak with a Baby+Company midwife before you go home, and make a plan together for your postpartum care.

Pantera Want You to Help Make a Video for 'Piss'
Pantera want you to help them make a video for 'Piss,' the lost (and found) track featured on the upcoming deluxe edition of 'Vulgar Display of Power,' which is set to drop on May 15.
The band is seeking footage of fans rocking out and moshing to their favorite Pantera song. We know that there are so many quality tracks in the Cowboys From Hell's expansive and extensive catalog that make it nearly impossible to choose just one. But we recommend picking the song that really gets the adrenaline coursing through your veins.
Then, mosh as hard as you can and film it. Those who demonstrate their style the hardest will find themselves featured in the video. Do a wall of death, whip your hair in Figure 8s a la Tom Araya of Slayer and go nuts. The folks behind the contest suggest that you "headbang with your friends, climb the walls of your bedroom, skate around the parking lot where you hang out…however you listen to metal, do it for your iPhone, Android, Flipcam, Bloggie, etc and send it to us!"
You must be 18 to participate. The video should be one to two minutes long and you should stand right in front of the camera when filming. Go here to submit your footage and learn more details.
Good luck. May the mosh be with you.

I'm enormously pleased to announce that Jelmer Vernooij will be joining the bzr team at Canonical on a full-time basis from January next year, replacing Robert Collins (who recently became Launchpad's technical architect). Jelmer has contributed to Bazaar over many years including driving the svn and git foreign branch plugins and the bzr-rewrite plugin.
Jelmer already works at Canonical on the Launchpad team, and has recently been involved with the recipe builds feature that automatically assembles deb packages from the contents of upstream branches. We will very likely look to hire someone to replace Jelmer on the Launchpad team, through the Canonical jobs page.
I got a lot of very good applications from the bzr community and beyond, and I just wish I could work full time with more of you. Thanks to everyone who did apply.

Stratus puts $50K where its fault tolerant mouth is
Cash for crashes
Server virtualization and the live migration of virtual machines across a network of servers and storage has allowed companies like VMware and Citrix Systems to bully their way into the high availability server market. And Stratus Technologies, which makes mirrored, fault-tolerant x64 boxes, is fighting back against what it sees as less resilient server setups with a deal for customers who buy its top-end ftServer 6300. The deal is simple: If they buy specific ftServer setups and the machines have unplanned downtime, they get $50,000 in cash.
"There are different levels of disaster recovery and fault tolerance, and we want to get people to focus on this," says Denny Lane, director of product marketing at Stratus. "There is a lot of loose talk about fault tolerance, and this is a case of us putting our money where our mouth is."
According to Lane, this cash for crashes promotion is a reprise of a deal that Stratus used to boost sales six years ago. At that time, Windows was a relatively new operating system on fault tolerant servers and customers needed a little coaxing. These days, the server market is stalled, but stabilizing, and Stratus is trying to scare up some business before it ends its fourth fiscal quarter in February 2010. Hence the revamping of the cash for crashes deal.
Stratus is pretty confident that it won't have to pay out the cash. The company has a constant link into the more than 11,000 fault tolerant servers that bear its label and that are currently supporting applications; you can see the rolling daily calculation of uptime across those machines here, and as El Reg goes to press, the Stratus installed base is averaging 99.99995 per cent availability - six and a half nines; it sometimes kisses seven nines. Lane says the number doesn't change all that much, and it averages somewhere between 25 and 28 seconds of downtime per year per machine.
Of course, that is not the number you need to know. To do this deal, what you really need to know is the distribution of downtime across the machines and the term of the downtime. For all we know, there are 10,000 machines that go all year and 1,000 that fail for a few minutes, or maybe it is only a few hundred that fail for a few hours. Maybe it is only older machines that have redundant components fail, causing unplanned downtime, and new boxes never fail once they are moved from development and test to production.
The cash for crashes deal is not available to the existing installed base of ftServer shops, and it does not cover the whole range of Xeon-based machines, which have the current Xeon 5500 processors as well as older Xeon 5400s. (You can see our coverage in August of the launch of Xeon 5500 fault tolerant machines from Stratus and NEC here.)
This deal is only available to customers who buy the high-end ftServer 6300, which is a two-socket Xeon 5500 box that has mirrored components, and only two specific configurations are available. You can choose the P6300-2S-PB1, which is known as a power bundle, which has two quad-core Xeon X5570s running at 2.93 GHz with 32 GB and ten disk drives. (That's a logical configuration; there are two such boxes that are glued together at their chipsets with the NEC-Stratus lockstepping hardware.) Stratus is slapping a 17 per cent discount off list price on this deal, but did not provide the list price at press time.
The second applicable bundle is the P6300-2S-PB2, which has the same basic hardware, but only two disk drives since it assumes you will use outboard disk enclosures for more storage scalability. This setup, which has a 14 per cent discount, has two disks in the rack server and eight disks in the enclosure, with room for more disks beyond that.
The downtime cash offer not only applies to hardware outages that cause unplanned downtime, but also covers the Windows server operating system (you can use Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008). Third-party software that causes an unplanned outage is not covered, and neither are hardware failures that cause the machine to run in simplex mode until the faulty hardware is replaced.
This deal runs from today through February 26, 2010, and from the date of purchase, customers have six months to move the machine into production. Once it is in production, the cash for crashes guarantee runs for six months.
By the way, Stratus already provides customers a free month of maintenance and support when they experience unplanned downtime, and this deal is still in effect for all Stratus shops, including those who buy new ftServer 6300s under this promotion. ®

A reception was held on Thurs., Oct. 4, at Brooklyn Borough Hall to pay tribute to Brooklyn's brightest Italian Americans, including the owner of Italian restaurant Noodle Pudding, Carlo A. Scissura, the president and CEO of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce and Markowtiz's former chief of staff; and Elena Solitario, president and founder of Pilo Arts Day Spa & Salon; as well as the School Settlement Association board of directors.
For 2012, the event focused on celebrating the 500th Anniversary of the life of Amerigo Vespucci, an Italian explorer, financier, navigator and cartographer known for his geographical contributions to society.
"I'm proud of all the great Italian Americans who represent the very best of Brooklyn," Markowitz said, mentioning some of the famous Italian Americans who graced the borough.
Tony Danza, a celebrity of Brooklyn famous for his role as a cab driver and part-time boxer in the hit television show Taxi and Who's the Boss, reminisced about his early years in the neighborhood growing up in an Italian family. "There's nothing like growing up in Brooklyn," Danza said.
A representative of Natalia Quintavalle, the Counsul General of Italy in New York, also discussed the importance of Italian American's contributions to the country from an economic and cultural perspective.
Ending the ceremony and preparing for a fabulous Italian feast, one thing was clear: "America would not be as successful, talented or delicious without Italian Americans," Markowitz said.

S. T. Joshi and David E. Schultz, the leading scholars of Howard Phillips Lovecraft's life and work, have assembled all of Lovecraft's letters to his friend, Robert H. Barlow of DeLand, Florida, in this impressive volume. Though the two corresponded for only seven years, Lovecraft's side of the exchange totals nearly 500 pages. The editors have annotated the letters exhaustively, clarifying hundreds of references to people, places, literary works, and history. Their long introduction provides the reader with the essential story of the friendship between Lovecraft and Barlow, and their relationships with friends and colleagues in the worlds of amateur journalism, fandom, pulp fiction, and others.
"What a book! As a young fan first acquiring works by Lovecraft in the 1960s I never dreamed that any such volume would or could be published. You can largely step into the shoes of Robert Hayward Barlow, if you wish, when you read this book. What a privilege!" - Kenneth W. Faig Jr. (The Fossil, January 2008)

It's nice that you provided quote marks indicating you were quoting, but you should provide the source. It's The adaptation of bacteria to feeding on nylon waste by Don Batten at Creaion Ministries International.

that's a great mix of bullshit. The Sun produces the vast majority of its output in the visible range - that's why it's visible! Much of the UV is filtered out as we well know.
The important point is that the Sun's energy arrives in the visible and is re-radiated in the infrared. That means there's a hell of a lot more photons radiated by the Earth than arrive on the Earth from the Sun. The emitted photons carry away many more degrees of freedom than arrive and so the local entropy decrease apparent in Evolution is miniscule compared to overall entropy increase.
The "low entropy" photons enter the life-cycle through photosynthesis, and thus help drive the whole process of evolution. Simple.

Borel's Law tells us that anything with a probability less than 1 in 10^50 is "mathematically impossible." There are 10^80 particles (electrons and protons) in the universe (best number I could find online) estimated. Even if each particle in the universe performed (10^20) events per second, and the universe was 15 billion years old (10^18 seconds), then 10^80 x 10^20 x 10^18 = 10^118. Even in the most generous situation, the number far exceeds Borels Law. You have better odds of winning the lottery (1:13,983,816, 6/49), than convincing me that Borels Law does not apply to chemical evolution.
So you are not inclined to accept what I wrote, you would rather attack his character, than answer intelligently. DING! Next.
Yes. I do.
Sure. Thats not where I got it, but it's probably there too. All the more reason to respond?
I already got one, but I'll go get more:

But it doesn't. It just doesn't. Borel's Law is just the Law Of Large Numbers as it applies to the statistics of experiments.
And I believe that I have already explained why things at long odds are not actually "mathematically impossible".
You see that "Dr" thing in my name, just before it says "Adequate"?
Well, the subject in which I have a PhD is in fact mathematics. Do not misuse the phrase "mathematically impossible" in my presence unless you want me to hunt you down and slap you about the face with a wet fish.
Your irrelevant quotations which are not relevant to this question are in fact irrelevant because of them not being relevant to this question. When I asked: "Got any quotes?" I didn't mean any quotes relating to anything you might want to get off your chest, I meant any relevant quotes.
Indeed, looking at my post, I find that what I actually wrote was: "Got any quotes from Borel?". (Emphasis added.)
If you wish to be shamefully and ludicrously wrong about something that is not on topic in this thread, then start another thread.

Fair. So then would you perform an experiment 10^118 chances of getting the desired outcome? You are a math whiz. Do the math.
So you are saying that the lottery is the best bet for retirement savings...I got it.
Yet somehow you still expect me to play the lottery.
You asked me for quotes twice. Read your message.

Pointing out that Borel's Law does not say what creationist liars say it says does not require me to do any math so much as have a passing familiarity with it.
No, I am not.
You can tell that I'm not saying it by the way that I'm not saying it.
What I am saying is that stupid creationist liars tell stupid creationist lies.
You should not interpret this as advice on your retirement fund.
I have in fact read my post #87, the one to which you were replying. Indeed, by a freakish coincidence, I wrote it. And it contains the words: "Got any quotes from Borel?" And it does not contain the words "Has anyone ever said anything stupid about anything?"
Again, I would urge you that if you want to be wrong about something else entirely you should start a new thread. If you don't, that's good too. I am not urging you to be wrong about something else, I am merely pointing out that if that is what you wish to do, there is an established mechanism for doing it.

I suspect you are pretending to be just slightly dumber than you may actually be.
However, I will take your idiocy at face value and explain his statement and its meaning for you.
You are claiming that extremely unlikely events are essentially impossible.
In REALITY the lottery is won quite often.
The math you presented earlier fails for the exact same reasons.
Member (Idle past 570 days)
Posts: 2965

Are you even paying attention to what you are writing?
I'm going to break it down for you:
Borels Law - 1:10^50 - is a description of long odds for a hypothetical event.
Your other number: 10^118 - is a description of (apparently) all the possible things which could happen to all the possible particles since the Universe began.
The fact that 10^118 is LARGER than 10^50 means that there are MORE possible outcomes than are required for your "Borel's Law" event.
In fact, there are SIGNIFICANTLY more.
In other words (pretending for a second that your numbers are correct and that they are in any way relevant to the discussion at hand) you just soundly disproved your own point with your own data.

Do you have any idea how many possible outcomes there are when you add a drop of molecules to a beaker full of molecules? Every experiment has long odds against one possible outcome but the dice are rolled so many times that that outcome will eventually happen.
Remember that somebody always wins.

This is my favorite example of a statistical improbability happening.
Much more unlikely than the lottery, and yet it happens, as Ray Romano watches.

Of course even when this PRATT is done right, it is still pointless. The reason the calculation is meaningless is because the underlying assumption in calculating the tiny probability is that nature is trying to reach a single predetermined state in a single step from absolute chaos using random chance. That's not a proper model for either abiogenesis or evolution.
With regard to the entropy argument. I can understand 780's confusion about entropy meaning disorder. Nearly every article/book written for lay persons and dealing with the concept of entropy links increasing entropy with increasing disorder, and gives the bastardized statement of the 2nd law that disorder must always increase.
What is peculiar is a lay person's refusal to give up on this misconception even when confronted with real science. Counter examples of this goofy restatement of entropy are staring you right in the face. The freezer in your refrigerator will reduces the entropy of its interior as long as you put in warm stuff, close the door and supply electricity.
I blame this refusal to accept science on organizations like ICR who make it appear that accepting pseudo scientific defenses of Genesis is an essential part of being a real Christian.
That said, 780's attempts to teach math to Dr. A are pretty entertaining. Hopefully that will continue...

There is an even simpler example. All of us on these forums started life as a single cell and over a 9 month period we developed into a multicellular, well organized human. If the same thing can not occur over millions of years, then how can it occur in 9 months? Embryonic development appears to be a much more serious violation of the creationist 2nd Law of Thermodynamics than evolution is.

Let's see if that is true.
If you shuffle a deck of cards and then lay them out one by one the order of those cards is 1 in 52! or 1 in 8x10^67. According to you, each and every time we do this little experiment we end up looking at a mathematical impossibility.

For $60, I'd hope it could have a 360 degree shell and split open for dual interior play. I just can't get in line with the steep inflation TLG has installed across the board. It's really insulting, and even if I buy their regular brands in the future, this incline will keep me away from the licensed products forever.
Set = Awesomesauce
Price = The real fantasy
I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks this set is ridiculously overpriced. I think it's designed nicely but it's half a set and it looks like a tight fit on the inside.

In the past I have been quite critical of the historiography of Arnhem. More than half of the books published that have Arnhem in the title or blurb offer little or no new analysis – the battle has been so raked over, that you have to wonder if there is really anything new to write. Such is why I will probably never attempt a book on Arnhem.
Written some years ago now, The Devils Birthday has aged rather well, and has always been one of my favoured works on Market Garden. And now, it has been reprinted by Pen and Sword. And not before time – it might serve to remind younger scholars and enthusiasts that much of what is presented as 'new' in military history, has already been written years before. This was, as the blurb tells us, the first book to be written about Market Garden as a whole by a British writer.
Perhaps the greatest faux pax in this book, is that Powell suggests that Lieutenant-General Boy Browning uttered the immortal 'Bridge too far' line. But crucially – and I have no idea why it took anyone so long to realise – Powell doesn't actually substantiate how he knew that Browning had said such a thing. In all likelihood, it was – and remains to this day – an urban myth. As recent research has shown, there is no evidence that Browning made the 'Bridge too far' statement prior to the battle.
But that aside, this is a very good book. And especially so for a particpant in the battle, and a military man. It is well referenced and has good bibliography, particularly when it comes to official documentary sources. And we have to remember that Powell was writing originally in 1984- at a time when many of the key participants were still alive and able to contribute. It is perhaps a little heavy on narrative and a touch light on critique and robust conclusion – particularly when compared to modern Arnhem writers such as Robert Kershaw and William Buckingham – but military officers do tend not to drive points home against the establishment in writing!
It is a very able and useful study of the battle of Arnhem. What makes it all the more interesting is that Powell served as a company commander with the 156th Battalion of the Parachute Regiment at Arnhem, and was one of very few officers to return across the Rhine after the battle. Remarkably, when he and the remnants of his battalion landed on the south bank of the Rhine, they formed up and marched to billets in Nijmegen. And after almost ten days of bitter fighting. Tellingly, Powell tells this story, but is too modest to state that he was the officer in command.
The Devils Birthday is published by Pen and Sword

About Us
The Yorkshire
Off Road Club Ltd is a friendly club open to all makes of road-going
4x4 vehicles. We offer a range of relaxed, sociable, off road driving events throughout
the year for you to enjoy. Where possible we will combine off road driving with camping/caravaning and other
social activities. Our events are set out to be none damaging and members drive to and from the events.
Current events being planned include off road trials, orienteering and navigational events, off road driving days and "green lane" trips. For a brief description of the events that we hold go here. The majority of our off-roading takes the form of RTV trials, these are designed to allow everyone from the novice with standard road-going 4x4 to the more experienced driver with a modified vehicle, to explore their potential in a non-damaging, mildly competitive and enjoyable way.
We hold monthly events throughout Yorkshire and occasionally neighboring counties with a membership that covers a similar area.
We hold a monthly club night (last Tuesday of each month) in the north Leeds area where members can plan events, propose events and exchange information and views whilst at the same time enjoying a pint or two in an informal atmosphere. Coffee and soft drinks are also available for those who can't persuade someone else to drive ! See the events page for details and directions of the next club night.
As a small club we have not seen a need for a monthly magazine as news of events and activities can be provided much more efficiently (and cheaper, keeping membership fees down !) via this website. From time to time a newsheet is sent out to supplement the web site. We encourage all members to attend as many of our events as they can and let us know if we are not providing the events they wish to attend.
are encouraged to register on and use the club forum as this is the main source, outside the club night, for information about club events as well as allowing discussion and announcements. When you register please enter your membership number where requested as this will speed up the process of adding you to the member's group - giving you access to areas of the forum that are hidden from the general public. As well as allowing you to post adverts and see private sections of the forum, your membership will allow you to create and share your own albums in the club image gallery as well as upload pictures to event albums.

I realize this is a Model T forum, but having a chance to include the inner workings of the Model N,R, & S to our Model T transmission project, does anyone here at this forum, know of any sources to obtain any plans, parts or photo collections of this pre-T transmission?
Thanks again for your interest.
Jim Key
Floyd Jaehnert, Gopher Machine, Minneapolis MN makes almost all the parts.
Also, go to the Early Ford Registry and you will be able to ask your questions on the forum. Send a PM if you have any problems.
Tell us about your project.
I'll have to try calling him at Gopher Pattern Works, Inc., as there seems to be no e-mail contact.
Thanks for the lead.
Jim Key
There are some various NRS transmission parts that are currently on eBay. If what you want is for display only, then you're in business. The parts for sale are totally shot and only good for display and are therefore not pricey.
Yes, I saw all of them and collected the photos.
I really need to know the assembly or some sort of schematic blueprint, as I am comparing it to the model T, which seems similar, but has a different clutch system.
Just looking to make both of these planetary systems wore accessible.
Jim Key
Geez, I meant "more accessible".

Improving access to finance for SMEs: key to economic recovery
Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) will drive the recovery in Europe, but they need improved and easy access to finance. Over the last few years the European Commission has been constantly working to improve their situation. This commitment is reiterated in a joint European Commission/European Investment Bank (EIB) Group report published today. At a time when the situation remains difficult, the EIB Group's support for SMEs reached €13 billion in 2012. In addition, with a budget of €1.1 billion, Commission-funded guarantees helped to mobilise loans worth more than €13 billion, boosting nearly 220 000 small businesses across Europe. Today´s report covers the results of the current funding schemes as well as the new generation of financial instruments for SMEs. Financial resources for SMEs will be significantly enhanced through the €10 billion increase in the EIB's capital.
As part of the Commission's continuing efforts to support SMEs, European Commission Vice President Antonio Tajani, responsible for enterprise and industry policy, today also launched a new single online portal on all EU financial instruments for SMEs as well an information guide to promote SME stock listings, at a meeting of the SME Finance Forum on the eve of an Informal Competitiveness Council on 2 and 3 May in Dublin.
European Commission Vice President Antonio Tajani, Commissioner for Industry and Entrepreneurship, said: "Access to finance of SMEs remains difficult and is one of the main reasons for the current economic downturn. Therefore we intend to enlarge our loan guarantees to SMEs under the new COSME programme as of 2014. Each euro dedicated to our guarantees has the power to stimulate - on average – 30 euros in bank loans. This is crucial to help Europe's jobs engine, our small enterprises, to run smoothly again. It is they who create 85% of all new jobs."
The new single access point to all EU financial instruments for SMEs
Guide to promote SME stock exchange listings
Almost 220,000 SMEs profited from Commission CIP programme
With a budget of €1.1 billion, the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP) has helped to mobilise over €13 billion of loans and €2.3 billion of venture capital for SMEs across Europe. Under its SME guarantee facility, CIP has helped nearly 220,000 SMEs to access loans. These loan guarantees are used in cases where the entrepreneur or the small enterprises do not have sufficient collateral to offer and the bank will not provide a loan. 90% of the beneficiaries have 10 or less employees and this is the category that has most difficulties to get a loan. The average guaranteed loan is about €65,000.
Each euro dedicated to CIP guarantees has a power to mobilise - on average – 30 Euros in bank loans. As a result, with a limited budget of €1.1 billion, CIP was able to stimulate so far more than €15 billion of financing for SMEs.
Single access point to all EU financial instruments for SMEs
The new single access point provides simple and easy access to over €100 billion of EU financing available under the different EU programmes in the current programme period (2007-2013). Europe is providing a mix of flexible financial instruments under programmes such as the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP), Progress Microfinance, the Risk Sharing Instrument (FP7), EIB loans and Structural Funds.
Better access to equity markets – promotion of SME listings
The European Commission also launched today a targeted information campaign to promote SME listings and stimulate investors' interest in SMEs and mid-caps. To this end the Commission published a web-based information guide for SME stock listings. This tool provides advice to small and medium-sized businesses on how to go public.
It will be combined with the creation of an award for the best European stock market listings among small and mid-cap companies.

BUY TAFIL-XANOR OVER THE COUNTER, INDIANAPOLIS — It's hard to call a loss to end the season a positive moment for a basketball team. Ordering TAFIL-XANOR online, But Iowa's 66-61 loss to Michigan State Thursday in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament was another one of those signs of how much the Hawkeyes have improved, and how big of a step they have to take next season, TAFIL-XANOR pharmacy. TAFIL-XANOR images, The Hawkeyes had the Spartans down by seven in the second half. A more experienced team would have been able to put this game away, buy TAFIL-XANOR online cod, Herbal TAFIL-XANOR, but Iowa let the lead get away.
What is interesting about this team is that everyone will be back, buy TAFIL-XANOR from canada, TAFIL-XANOR duration, with the exception of senior center Jarryd Cole, who will be missed, is TAFIL-XANOR safe, Where can i buy cheapest TAFIL-XANOR online, I think, more than people realize, order TAFIL-XANOR online c.o.d.
So, here are the five questions the Hawkeyes have to answer to take the next step:
• Will everyone come back? Most signs point to yes — Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said earlier this week that he doesn't anticipate any changes, BUY TAFIL-XANOR OVER THE COUNTER. TAFIL-XANOR use, Still, under a new coach, TAFIL-XANOR australia, uk, us, usa, Order TAFIL-XANOR from United States pharmacy, there are always those players unhappy with their roles, or the system, TAFIL-XANOR no prescription, TAFIL-XANOR dosage, or whatever.
The one thing McCaffery doesn't want to do is chase anyone off, japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal. TAFIL-XANOR no rx, The number of departures over the last four years has started to put a dent in the program's Academic Progress Rate. There's no danger of any penalties now, buy cheap TAFIL-XANOR no rx, No prescription TAFIL-XANOR online, but messing with the APR is something you don't want to do. BUY TAFIL-XANOR OVER THE COUNTER, The right move would be to keep the current roster intact, and fill the two remaining scholarships. A full scholarship boat, purchase TAFIL-XANOR, TAFIL-XANOR blogs, plus the walk-ons that are on the roster, will give McCaffery plenty of options for next season, buy no prescription TAFIL-XANOR online. Low dose TAFIL-XANOR, • What about Cully Payne? Payne started the season as Iowa's point guard, but went out with a sports hernia in late November and didn't return, cheap TAFIL-XANOR no rx. TAFIL-XANOR mg, Bryce Cartwright stepped in and took over the starting job, and led the Big Ten in assists in conference games, buy cheap TAFIL-XANOR. Discount TAFIL-XANOR, McCaffery would like to see Payne and Cartwright on the court together. And a Payne return certainly helps the depth in the backcourt, even if McCaffery signs another point guard this spring, BUY TAFIL-XANOR OVER THE COUNTER.
Payne transferring to another Division I school makes no sense — he'll get a medical redshirt year this season, buy TAFIL-XANOR from mexico, TAFIL-XANOR treatment, and if he would transfer, he would have to sit out and lose a season of eligibility, where can i buy TAFIL-XANOR online, unless he can get a hardship waiver from the NCAA at some point.
It was clear this season that a team needs a Plan B at point guard. Keeping the depth certainly helps.
• Who fills Cole's leadership role? Jarryd Cole was a class act who was also solid on the court. BUY TAFIL-XANOR OVER THE COUNTER, He has been one constant in a program of turmoil in the last four years.
His departure will leave a hole of leadership that has to be filled by someone.
• How will Melsahn Basabe develop? The freshman forward filled a role that the Hawkeyes haven't had in a while — a strong big man who can score and rebound.
Basabe had a typical freshman season — brilliant at times, lackluster at other times. His final performance of the season on Thursday was one to forget.
McCaffery has praised Basabe's willingness to learn, BUY TAFIL-XANOR OVER THE COUNTER. He could take a huge step over the summer toward being one of the dominant big men in the league.
• Who will McCaffery sign in the spring? McCaffery's wish list is for a guard and a big, but spring recruiting is like shopping on Christmas Eve — everyone's looking for the best gift.
He said on Tuesday that he's looking for the best players, even if that means overloading on a position. It's a smart move for a team that needs depth.
