I checked my pregnancy app before, and it told me there are 9 weeks and 4 days before D day.
This little person who is currently wriggling around in my belly is going to need to come out.
There is a BABY in there!!
Third Trimester August 25, 2012Posted by Natasha in Finally Pregnant!.

1 comment so far
Going about things mathematically (40 weeks divided by three = 13w2d per trimester), today (26w5d) I officially ticked over into third trimester.
Mind = Blown
Fuzzy celebrated by waking me at 5:30am doing some kind of weird somersault. I'm sure Mr G thinks I'm strange when I wake up giggling, but it is really funny to think that there is a little person jumping around in there!
So, on the first day of the last trimester, this is where I'm at:
Morning Sickness – Mostly alright, most of the time. Haven't thrown up since mid last week. Still not sure if I've seen the end of it. Suspect not. Don't really care, as it's easy to deal with.
Energy/Fatigue – have realized as I get more tired now that this has actually been pretty great for the last 6 or so weeks. Seems a little unfair that the nesting bug would hit at the same time as increased tiredness though!
Discomfort – not bad at all, really. I waddle a little (ok, a lot, especially when he's wedged down low in my pelvis) but I haven't had any rib pain, the aching joints have mostly settled apart from my dodgy knee, which has flared, and I definitely don't feel huge yet. That long torso is handy for this pregnancy thing!
Health – had a shocking flu over my birthday, which lingered for almost ten days, the cough lasting much longer still. I'm still coughing a bit in the mornings. Had a scare in the last few days with one of my students getting slapped cheek virus (parvovirus). The doctor doesn't seem to be particularly worried, but is doing blood tests to check my immunity. If I get it, it will mean extra monitoring for bubs.
Fuzzy – is growing super fast! In the last two weeks he has settled into very noticeable sleep/wake patterns, and the movements have become very strong. So much so, that I've actually spotted my whole belly contorting from time to time! He still likes to hang out down on my bladder, but it's fun when he moves up. I'm pretty sure he hasn't settled on one position as yet, as the movements are all over the place. Last week I felt 4 distinct prods on either side of my belly, like he was doing a biiiiig stretch! My belly is pretty wide, it amazed me that he could be so big already!
Worries – money. Enough said.
GD – have my one hour glucose test on Friday. Pretty sure, for no real reason, that I'm not going to pass it.
Fuzzy's size – he's a big boy. Perhaps this has triggered my worry about GD? I know that neither I or the donor are small (6 foot 1 and 6 foot 5 respectively), but I am a bit worried about delivering such a whopper!
C-section. I really don't want one. Not being able to drive over Christmas would be really tough, and I worry about the recovery as a plus-sized girl (it's meant to be harder apparently).
The dog. He's a neurotic little thing. Barks constantly. No idea how that's going to work with a sleeping baby!
The wedding I'm photographing at 30 weeks. 7 hours of squats. Bride & groomzilla. 30 weeks pregnant. Yeah, fun.
Excited about – everything. Only 24 more days of work left, and I've planned some serious nesting!
Midwife appointments, birthing classes, setting up the nursery properly, washing all the tiny clothes. 34 week scan. Getting huge (yes this actually excites me – I am really loving being pregnant and know I'll feel a bit sad when it's over).
More than anything though, I'm excited about meeting our son.

Despite still being on a cocktail of pills (metformin & vitamins – found out earlier this week that I am severely vitamin D deficient), I just took the final dose of the drug that I credit with keeping me pregnant to this point. Particularly give the bleeding, which has slowed to occasional, very mild brown over the last couple of days, this makes me very nervous. I have no mores scripts, no more doses. I was meant to stop on Monday gone, but had been weaning down since last Saturday. Praying that the placenta is hard at work doing its job.
No more scares please, Fuzzy!

So today the crazy lady hormones kicked in. Tears. Happiness, sadness, who-the-hell-knows-what-ness. Bizzarre. I just cried for ten minutes because I was hungry and I didn't want to eat anything. Who *am* I?
First obs appointment today, Dr… Junior I think I'll call him – he is seriously young! Nice guy, Mr G likes him as well. Long history taken, quick blood pressure check – and that's it! I was seriously coveting a peek at fuzzy, but it didn't happen. Seems I'm just a regular pregnant person! He is an IVF specialist, at the other big Melbourne clinic, so at least he gets where we're at. Nice for a change. I desperately need to sleep.

Made it through another week safely (I think).
At seven weeks I am:
Tired. Still. How very boring I must be to my poor husband, with the constant need to sleep. Right. Now.
Pukey. This one started up with gusto today. Queasy, then pukey, then pukier because I was puking. What a fun cycle that is!
Seriously sporting a belly, despite having lost a couple of kilos over the last couple of weeks. It's not baby, I'm not going to be obnoxious enough to even suggest that. But the belly! Oh my! My I-lost-20-kg fat pants are painfully tight, and my belly has lost a lot of its squishiness. What is causing it?!?
I don't have ANY desire to eat chocolate. At all. Instead, it's all about the salt. (Hmm maybe that's why I'm bloated?)
So annoyed at my mum. And I don't even really know why. Just the usual button pressing has been turned up to 5 million.
Starting to maybe feel like this may be real. Maybe. A little.
Simultaneously excited and terrified for my scan on Thursday.
The Magic Number March 20, 2012Posted by Natasha in Finally Pregnant!, IVF.

Is 121!!
I'm really pregnant!
The guideline I've been given is that they like to see at least 100 on day 16.
Today is day 15, and I'm already over that magic number.
Of course it's no guarantee, but I am feeling a little more secure.
Completely amazing!
Oh, and for the other POAS junkies, I used a FRER, and counting back to when I saw my very first line, fainter than you can imagine, my HCG would have been at about the 22-25 mark. A lot higher than the 6.3 Google told me, and more like what the manufacturer said!

A Flea in Her Ear is a saucy, stylish, flirtatious, and hilarious romp! Georges Feydeau's play, originally written in 1907, in a Hebrew version by Nissim Aloni, directed by Udi Ben Moshe, opens in an elegantly appointed Parisian apartment, sometime in the mid-20th century, with Irving Berlin's Cheek to Cheek setting the mood for romance. In this mercurially swift-paced comedy of errors, one does not wait long for intrigue: a bold pinch is soon followed by a steamy kiss. The kissing couple might be married, but if so, probably not to one another. Feydeau (1862 – 1921) is known for his many farces, whose humor relies on intricate plots full of misunderstandings, coincidences, and mistaken identities. Presented with an exaggerated, fun-house-like distortion of reality, the viewer can sit back, relax and enjoy the fears and anxieties of the various characters.
Raymonde Chandebise (Carmit Mesilati-Kaplan), happily married to Victor Emmanuel Chandebise (Erez Shafrir), has got 'a flea in her ear' – she is convinced that her husband is cheating on her, and confides as much in her friend Lucienne (Yael Esther Mor). Lucienne comes up with a plan to lay a trap for Chandebise, yet not too surprisingly, it all goes sideways, much to the glee of the viewer. The entire ensemble cast is wonderfully funny, and while the convoluted plot sounds complicated on paper – on stage it is marvelously hilarious!
Broad, wild, and physical, hilarity reigns, yet the actors always hit the right note, retaining the humanity and vulnerability of their characters, and eliciting one's empathy, even in their most bizarre moments. Particularly endearing is Itai Szor as Camille Chandebise, a relative tolerated and employed as a secretary, whose speech impediment (he cannot pronounce consonants) makes everything he says virtually incomprehensible. It's always fun to laugh at the misfortunes of others, and the joke runs through the entire play, with some twists. At one point, as the downtrodden Camille proclaims his long list of grievances, he was so irresistibly funny that the audience not only rolled with laughter, but burst into applause.
Yet the laughter the play provokes is powerful because its source is in our deepest fears and desires. The prevalence of mistaken identities and obsession with fidelity (that flea buzzing in almost everyone's ear) reflect the vulnerable human sense of identity, the wish to be unique, the desire to be loved. There is a good measure of social satire and critique in Feydeau's play, as expressed in the gap between appearances and reality, and the privileging of appearances over reality.

by Ryan J. Dwyer
November 16, 2007
"Around the globe, millions of women are fighting for...the right to obtain a safe and legal abortion," proclaimed Congressman Tom Lantos (D-CA) at a recent Congressional hearing. He blamed "the mindless Global Gag Rule" for standing in their way.
Rep. Lantos was referring to the Mexico City Policy (MCP), an executive order that withholds United States funds from any foreign non-governmental organization (NGO) which performs or promotes abortion as a method of family planning (the policy does not cover abortions in cases of rape, incest or life endangerment). Opponents derisively label the MCP the "Global Gag Rule," claiming it "gags" NGOs that want to offer women the option of abortion.
The U.S. first announced this policy at the 1984 United Nations Conference on Population in Mexico City, where member nations (including the vast majority of developing nations) passed a resolution opposing abortion as birth control. The policy continued through President Reagan's terms, was rescinded by President Clinton, but was restored under both Bush presidencies.
The MCP is necessary because groups such as the International Planned Parenthood Foundation (IPPF) see abortion as an indispensable tool of population control, ostensibly to reduce poverty. IPPF lobbies aggressively for worldwide legalization of abortion on demand, and has even performed illegal abortions overseas. Under the guise of "menstrual regulation," IPPF-funded doctors have performed early abortions on women without their knowledge or consent. Thanks to the MCP, IPPF no longer receives $17 million of annual U.S. aid.
Nevertheless, many Congressional Democrats now want President Bush to approve a bill that would reverse the MCP. At the Lantos hearing, doctors from Nigeria and Ghana claimed that the MCP muzzles NGOs who want to direct women to "safe" abortion clinics and that tens of thousands of African women die annually from "unsafe abortion." But in fact, the policy forbids active promotion of abortion, not passive referrals in response to questions.
Kenyan gynecologist Jean Kagia unmasked the falsity of these maternal death claims. She testified that in Kenya, where abortion is prohibited, less than 1% of maternal deaths are due to abortion. She added that the leading causes of death, such as malaria, are treatable. Dr. Kagia also disputed the assumption that the typical African woman wants abortion, stating that "Abortion would make her go against her faith and conscience," and citing polls showing that 85% of Kenyan women are opposed to abortion. Dr. Kagia stated, "African women love babies. I wish we'd just take some time to think of how we can help this African woman [have her] baby in a safe way."
Far from being "mindless," the MCP guards against the faulty logic that promoting abortion on demand will decrease maternal death. This reasoning presents a false choice, pitting the life of the child against the life of the mother -- and concluding that the unborn are expendable to advance their mothers' "rights."
We must recognize that U.S. foreign aid will only succeed if it affirms the most fundamental human right: the right to life. As Pope Benedict has said, speaking of Western aid that does not reflect the natural hierarchy of rights: "When this ordering of goods is no longer respected, but turned on its head, the result is not justice or concern for human suffering. The result is rather ruin and destruction."Ryan Dwyer is a Federal Policy Analyst for the Secretariat for Pro-Life Activities, U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Investigators with the Central Nebraska Drug and Safe Streets Task Force have arrested two people on multiple drug-related charges following an investigation in Kearney. The operation included investigators from the Nebraska State Patrol, Kearney Police Department, Buffalo County Sheriff's Office, and Adams County Sheriff's Office.
The State Patrol says that on Friday, January 3, investigators executed a search warrant on a residence at 1000 4th Avenue #28 in Kearney. During the search, investigators located methamphetamine, hydrocodone pills, marijuana, digital scales, and drug paraphernalia. Investigations also located an automatic knife at the residence.
Investigators arrested Katherina Dydel, 49, and Christopher Hines, 42, both of Kearney, for possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana – more than one ounce, possession of a weapon during the commission of a felony, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Dydel was also arrested on a warrant for three counts of distribution of methamphetamine.
Both were lodged in Buffalo County Jail.

Hmm seems like you might be a victim of "fake news" As an insider, I can tell you that Hylas yachts production schedule is full through 2021. Hylas has sold several new 57's. I know...I bought one! The Hylas H60 Hull#1 is on the way to the US as we speak. Another H48 was closed at the Annapolis show as well as an H46. A very special version of the legendary H49 was closed this summer as well as the new M44 Down East style Power yacht which is what I will probably buy sometime down the road. Its simply magnificent.
I was told they are booked through 2020 with 48 and 60s on order. Joel
Went aboard as well. Met Dick's son. I did not look at build quality, but it looked nice. I wonder how it stacks up against the new Hylas 57 and 60.
Many of us are caught up being "creditors" to HYI because of Kyle Jackney. Amazing that Outbound would pick him up. Can only be due to the hull molds. I certainly hope that the bankruptcy proceedings prevent Kyle from proceeding with Outbound and he never works in this industry again. The Chapter 11 was converted to a Chapter 7 this past week.

Rainfall forecast totals vary greatly with the next 2 systems
Belski's Blog
Updated Wednesday at 5:00 PM.....
There are two weather systems on the way over the next 7 days that will give us a chance for rain.
The first one is Saturday and the second is around Tuesday.
While some of the computer models have increased the totals from yesterday, others have diminished the total.
GFS total rain through the weekend and then over the next 7 days.
Map from WeatherBell
The GFS only puts down a tenth of an inch this weekend and has a total of about a half inch for Louisville over the next 7 days.
The GEM.......About an inch through the weekend.
The 7 day below has 4 inches for Louisville and 4.5 inches for southern Indiana.
The ECMWF has .7" for the weekend and a total between 1.5 and 2 inches for the 7 day total.
Here are the WPC 5 and 7 day rain forecasts.
.75 for the weekend and about 2 inches for the 7 day total.
These weather systems will end the drought in much of Texas.
About half of Texas is in at least a moderate drought and 14% of Texas is in at least an extreme drought.
Here is what the NWS in Louisville says about the upcoming rain forecast.......
The front will push into the area on Sat bringing rain showers and possibly a rumble of thunder. Models still vary on exactly how much rain coverage our area will see Sat/Sat night as we seem to get split between the better moisture to our south and the parent low pressure system well to our north over southern Canada. The 12Z Op ECMWF and 12Z GFS Ensembles are a bit more optimistic with rainfall amounts while the 12Z Op GFS is not as wet.
The next low pressure system will lift north across the Plains by mid week bringing another good shot at rain into the Ohio Valley on Tues/Wed.

This beer now made it from the "Windy City" to Brussels + some extra goodies… The 'LifeCycle' collab grasps the idea of the neverending exchange and influences between different brewing cultures. Half Acre is a brewery that's inspired by the Belgian beer culture and give those beer styles an American twist. BBP is definitely inspired by what the US beer culture has created in the last few decades. 'LifeCycle' showcases this intercultural inspiration with a 6% Belgian blonde, mind-meld of historically significant Belgian yeast with modern American grown Mosaic and Crystal hops, with tangerine and guava puree added during fermentation. Come try this collaboration on tap and take away some good looking cans! For the occassion we'll also add a few more Half Acre beers on tap, cheers!

Making the Most of the Outdoors
You've spent most of the year in the classroom learning, or in your bedroom revising and staring at books and computer screens. Now the summer is here, and you've got a little less on your plate, it's time to get outside, enjoy the fine weather and relax.
Being outdoors is a fantastic way to spend your leisure time, and it has many benefits too. It has been proven that relaxation and exercise in this atmosphere will expand your short-term memory and attention span and increase your ability to problem solve. There's even evidence to suggest that it can improve your reading and maths. As far as your school work is concerned, it's safe to say that surrounding yourself by nature is likely to aid your success.
Mother Nature has a lot to offer your social life too. Outdoor hobbies can undoubtedly broaden your friendship circle by immersing you in a potentially diverse community. In turn, this will enable you to practice your team building and networking skills while relaxing and doing something you love.
Submerging yourself in a natural environment will also work wonders for a positive state of mind. A simple stroll through the woods or along a beach will decrease levels of stress and depression. By helping you to put life into perspective and allowing you to focus on the present moment, the great outdoors will boost your overall happiness.
The benefits of relaxing in the open air will become a lifestyle and won't just serve you until the end of your time at NK Academy. A love of the outdoors will set you up for your future career by assisting you in high-pressure situations and giving you the power to manage your stress and continue to thrive. So do as your parents and teachers always tell you – get outside and enjoy the fresh air!

Good morning! Here are the plays everybody will be talking about Monday morning.
Ryan Fitzpatrick's magic came to an end. The Jets needed a win or a Steelers loss to get into the playoffs. They got neither. Fitzpatrick threw three fourth-quarter interceptions, and none hurt more than the one into the end zone with less than 11 minutes to go and the Jets trailing 19-17. Just when it looked as if the Jets would take the lead, Fitzpatrick threw a pass that never should have been thrown. The Jets lost 22-17.
Peyton Manning is back, and the Broncos fans went nuts. Just when it looked as if Manning may never play in another NFL game, the Broncos struggled with Brock Osweiler at quarterback, committing five turnovers and trailing 13-7 to the Chargers early in the second half. After just two offensive plays in the second half, the Broncos made the switch and brought Manning back in. The reaction from the crowd tells it all. The Broncos came back to win 27-20 and clinch home-field advantage.
You may never see a better play by a kicker. The Green Bay Packers' hopes for winning the NFC North came up short when Aaron Rodgers' latest Hail Mary throw landed incomplete in a 20-13 loss to the Vikings. But the Packers would have never been in that position if not for Mason Crosby. After the Packers cut the lead to seven points, it looked as if Cordarrelle Patterson were about to return the kickoff for a touchdown when Crosby (No. 2) swooped in from behind and stripped the ball, forcing a turnover and keeping the Packers in the game.

- Olympic News, Switzerland, PyeongChang 2018, Ice Hockey
Consistently ranked among men's world ice hockey's top ten sides, Switzerland bounced back from Olympic disappointment at PyeongChang 2018 to win silver at the IIHF World Championships three months later.
Ice hockey is one of Switzerland's most popular sports. The country's 12-team National League pulls in the highest attendances of any domestic championship in western Europe. Switzerland has also hosted eight IIHF World Championship competitions and will stage a ninth in 2020. In addition to its three silvers, the national team, nicknamed Die Nati, has won six World Championship bronzes (1930, 1937, 1939, 1950, 1951 and 1953).
Switzerland's men have also been consistent qualifiers for the Olympic Winter Games, making 16 appearances in all and five in a row since missing out on a place at Nagano 1998. The two bronzes they have won both came on home ice in St Moritz, in 1928 and 1948, while the country's women's team won a bronze of their own at Sochi 2014.
Coached by former Swiss international Patrick Fischer, the 25-strong men's squad had high hopes of bettering bronze when they headed to PyeongChang 2018, having booked their Olympic place thanks to a top-eight finish at the 2015 IIHF World Championships.
The Swiss made a faltering start to their campaign in the Republic of Korea, however, losing 5-1 to Canada. Recovering their poise to beat the host nation 8-0, they then suffered a 4-1 defeat to the Czech Republic, which left them facing a qualification play-off with Germany for a place in the quarter-finals.
"We came with some big objectives and we wanted to do well, but we just weren't able to play our game and be at our best," said Fischer on his side's early departure from PyeongChang, where they had hoped to reach the last eight at the very least. "It's sad, but I can't wait for the next opportunity to come along. I have every confidence in these players."
Currently seventh in the world rankings, the Swiss are hoping to hit form again at the 2019 Worlds, to be held in Slovakia on 10-26 May, when they will line up in Group B alongside Italy, Austria, Latvia, Norway, Czech Republic, Russia and Sweden.

Alison Postma is an artist working primarily in photography, video, and sculpture. She graduated from the University of Guelph in 2016 and is now based in Toronto. Most recently her practice has explored physically getting to know objects. In a studio setting, objects are examined and arranged with other objects in a still life to be photographed, paying close attention to texture and colour. In video work, the artist performs futile gestures with objects in an effort to understand them. In sculptural pieces, found objects are added to or modified to create something almost recognizable. In 2015 she was awarded the AIMIA/AGO Photography Prize Scholarship, and was longlisted for the New Generation Photography Award in 2018. Her work has recently been shown locally with the Drake Hotel Properties and as part of the Scotiabank Contact Photography Festival.

Djibouti Identity Card
Djibouti skilfully integrates all the fascinating aspects of African landscape to present an unforgettable experience for you. The country ensures that the visitors experience total luxury while roaming through the nooks and corners of the country. Located in eastern Africa, Djibouti is part of the much revered landscape of Horn of Africa. The country is one of the smallest entities of the continent and shares a small coastline by the Red Sea. Economically, Djibouti survives on basis of the service industry and enjoys a status of Free Trade Zone.
Prior to arrival of European explorers, Djibouti is inhabited by immigrants from Arabia in 3rd century B.C. They were followed by the Afars, one of the two main ethnic groups that make up Djibouti today and Somali Issas. The wave of Islam swept the region in 825. Djibouti was acquired by France between 1843 and emerged as French Somaliland. It was renamed the Territory of the Afars and Issas in 1967. It took the name of its capital city on June 27, 1977, when France transferred sovereignty to the new independent nation of Djibouti. Today this African nation is established as a republic with a unicameral legislature after surviving decades of civil strife.

To account for 33% of oil demand growth
Industry experts at ArabPlast 2019 indicated that plastics will be the main driver for crude oil demand, accounting for more than 33 per cent of oil demand growth globally in the period to 2030.
ArabPlast 2019 - the biggest plastics, petrochemicals and rubber industry exhibition in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, closed on a grand note witnessing the participation of more than 900 companies from 32 countries.
It has been observed that plastics – the key driver for petrochemicals from an energy perspective – have outpaced all other bulk materials (such as steel, aluminium, or cement), nearly doubling since 2000.
Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. to Handle Ruwais Container Terminal
Advanced economies currently use up to 20 times more plastic and up to 10 times more fertiliser than developing economies on a per capita basis, underscoring the huge potential for global growth.
"Plastics is experiencing a surge in demand, and the growth is fuelled by varied sectors. While packaging and infrastructure remain the key industries driving the growth of the plastics, construction plastics are also in high demand," said Satish Khanna, General Manager, Al Fajer Information & Services, Dubai, organisers of ArabPlast 2019.

Any band that has played punk or indie-rock over the past few decades has—directly or indirectly—owed a debt to Rocket From The Tombs. The legendary Cleveland band only managed to hold itself together from 1974 to '75. But during that time, it forged a handful of songs that RFTT's main offshoots, the Dead Boys and Pere Ubu, adopted and wielded to influence untold thousands. But RFTT never released an album of its own—until now. Barfly, the group's official full-length debut of new material, comes out next week via Fire Records. And it's a pretty damn formidable thunderstorm of proto-punk poetry and contorted, art-garage anthems. On board are three original members—singer David Thomas (of Pere Ubu), guitarist Cheetah Chrome (of the Dead Boys), and bassist Craig Bell—as well as Pere Ubu drummer Steve Mehlman and a legend in his own right, Television's Richard Lloyd, on second guitar. Below is a full-album stream of Barfly; look for our review next week.

The big box stores have had their Halloween decorations out for a few weeks now. And who can blame them? It's only the best holiday of the year. Sorry, Arbor Day.
And now that it's October, I can finally start decorating my home without fear of being that house. (You know the house I'm talking about.)
But rather than displaying the same ghosts and ghouls as my neighbors and paying premium prices to do so, I prefer to harness the power of estate sales. Not only can you frequently find vintage decorations (and, of course, materials for Halloween costumes), but they're also a great opportunity to get crafty.
Here I'll share just a few easy projects you can make your way through on a cool October afternoon.
Spooky ceramics
Estate sales frequently carry ceramic figurines, some that are, or at least at one time were, highly collectible. My mother and grandmother, for example, collected Hummels. I, as a child, had a shelf full of Precious Moments. Since their heyday, the value of both have fluctuated, and while some of the older, more rare editions can still command high prices, that's not the case for all of them.
But, although I really want to, I can't bring myself to use Hummels for this project. I imagine my dearly departed grandmother watching from Heaven with a single tear rolling down her always-rosy cheek as I desecrate her most cherished treasures, and suddenly I become racked with guilt.
So instead, I'm taking advantage of the myriad other ceramics that are always available at the estate sales around our office.
(I should note that if you don't have a personal connection to the aforementioned brands, by all means, use them. But you may want to do a quick search online to make sure they don't have any considerable value the estate sale company might have overlooked before you get started.)
This is a simple project, to be sure, but one that can work to great effect. Simply spray paint the figurine a solid, ominous color. Once the ceramic is sufficiently coated and fully dry, take a small paintbrush and paint the eyes a dramatic color that will be sure to haunt those who gaze upon it. If you're not sure which color to use, perhaps ask your local craft store what their most soul-piercing color is. Ask what brand of paint is most likely to strike terror in the hearts of adults and children alike, so you make sure you get the right one.
I'm sure they can help. They're trained for that sort of thing.
We started with a solid black figure with green glow-in-the-dark eyes, but you're really only limited by your imagination. Whether you paint them a spooky black and give them eyes of glowing green or chilling red, or choose a more ethereal all-white with the blackest of pupils, it's sure to cause visitors to do a double-take. You can create your own monster menagerie. In fact, I would strongly suggest creating a hoard of them. As the comedienne Ellen Degeneres once said, "A lot of anything is scarier than one something."
Spider web doilies
At a recent estate sale, I bought a large collection of crocheted doilies for just a few dollars. I envisioned all the wonderful and crafty things I could do with them. I dreamed of honoring handiwork of those with skills I don't have by using the creations they left behind to make beautiful things.
Then they sat in a box in my laundry room for 6 months.
But Halloween is a season of miracles, so, miraculously, they're getting put to use.
Many of the doilies, off-white to begin with, have become even more so with age. Thorough washing and bluing doesn't get them as bright as I'd like, so I have started dying them as the spirit movies me. And today the spirits moved me to dye them grey, and frame the woven patterns as though they were intricate spiderwebs. And then I was moved to try red, because the spirits want a lot of things—greedy spirits.
One bottle of the fabric dye I use can color two pounds of fabric. I, however, only want to dye a few small doilies. So to conserve resources, I filled a Mason jar with hot water, the doily, and then a small amount of the dye. Then I sealed the lid tight and shook it up. After a few minutes, I drained the bottle of the colored water, and rinsed out the fabric.
I don't like the idea of putting my doilies in the dryer—I don't know how fragile they are, and I don't want to put myself into a position where I have to (*shudder*) iron, so I remove most of the water from the doily by wrapping it in a towel and giving it a firm but gentle squeeze. Then, I lay it flat to dry.
An embroidery hoop, painted black, frames the web, holds it taut, and provides an easy way to hang them.
You can, of course, choose colors to match your decor. And after the season's over, remove the spiders and keep the doilies hanging. Perhaps change up the hoop colors, and dye a few more in less spookily-festive colors.
Repurposed glasses
We've talked before about some of the things you can do with estate sale glass. But, of course, those were just a few ideas pulled out of a pool of infinity, so we can't pass up an opportunity to share another.
With the help of some electric tea-lights, an estate sale glass can be turned into an adorable decoration.
When I realized the glasses were the perfect ghost shape, I breathed a sigh of relief, because I could go a very simple route without skimping on preciousness. Some more Pinteresting people might see a wine stem and think "I could turn that into a witch hat!" Others might find a spindly candleholder like the ones we found and think "If I took some pliers and pried out the legs, I could make this into a creepy spider, or maybe a kraken."
But not me. My ghosts don't even have noses.
Not that they need them.
I used frosted spray paint to cover the outside of the glass, and then gave them some ghostly faces. Placed directly on a countertop or poised on a candleholder, your home will be illuminated with Halloween spirit in no time.
With a little imagination and a little browsing on EstateSales.NET, you can haunt your home and set it apart from all the others on your block.

We've had Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X and Millennials – but have you heard of the Linkster generation?
A Linkster is anyone born after 2002 and who has been 'linked' to technology from day one.Appeal for man caught kicking dog before dumping it on stranger's doorstep
Whereas many Millennials will remember life with payphones, dial up internet and no social media, Linksters have been born into a society that is hooked on smartphones.
This probably makes you feel obsolete, but it's not easy for the Linksters.
The new generation make up 18% of the world's population with the oldest having just turned 15, which means they will grow into adulthood with the pressure of social media, reports The Independent.
Meagan Johnson, author of From Boomers to Linksters: Managing the Friction Between Generations at Work, said even toddlers can be seen playing on their parents' devices.Huge countryside wildfire that can be seen from central London hits Surrey
She told The Independent: 'The Linkster Generation could have (and probably did) grow up in a home that used cell phones and did not have a land line.
'The Linkster Generation may never hold a textbook, read everything from a tablet and never learn cursive writing. The Linkster Generation may never write a check or walk into a traditional bank.'
Millennials have been criticised as the generation who would rather binge on Netflix than go to the cinema, text than make a phone call or use an app instead of mingle at a bar.
So will Linksters, also known as Generation Z, completely lose out on face-to-face communication skills?
'As society becomes more and more dependent on technology for communication, the skill of face-to-face communication will deteriorate,' said Johnson.Woman jailed for masterminding attack on ex who was tied-up, beaten and stabbed
'I think this opens the door to a host of possible misunderstandings and miscommunications that could be avoided if we took a step back and taught younger people the skill of face-to-face communications.'
But it's not all bad, Linksters will be the most tolerant and accepting generation.
They will also be more accustomed to stay-at-home dads and same-sex relationships.
In conclusion, Johnson said it is good to remember that each generation has a habit of unfairly demonising the subsequent one.
So let's not be so hard on the Linksters.

Introduction: Lanyard DIY #ferociousdoughnuts
This is a project on making a lanyard. Im showing how to make the regular style one. If you want, you can make it into a keychain. (The picture is the regular one).
Step 1: Gather Your Materials
The first thing you should do is buy lanyard string. It is sold at many different arts and crafts store. A suggestion would be Michael's. The next set of materials you will need is a pair of scissors. That is really the only materials you need, rulers are optional if you want to get exact lengths of string.
Step 2: Beginning the Lanyard
First you want to start off by cutting 3 to 5 feet of lanyard of two different colors each . For the first color you want to loop it twice around your index finger. Make sure that both loops are even. Then you want to get your second string, and put that under, and through the two loops. Then you want to get that same color string you just went under with. This time pass over the first loop, and under the second loop. Then you do the same thing on the opposite side. Go over the first loop, and under the second. The pull really tight. It should make a square shape.
Step 3: Making the Actual Pattern
Now that you have started your lanyard, you need to do the same pattern until the end. Like in the picture on this step the string should be out like that, and you should have a little square. Then you would want to get the string closes to you, and put it on the exact same side farthest from you. Then you want to get the one farthest from you, and put it on the same side closest to you. This should make two loops. Then you want to get the other string while holding the loops. With this string, make the one on the left go over the loop closest, and under the loop farthest. Then you would get the one on the right, and make it go over the right loop, and under the left. Once you do that pull tight. Do that same pattern until you barely have any string. Then you can cut of the unnecessary string.

Looks like a teacher is having kids post stuff then using ferocious donuts as a way to look up the projects. Looks like 2nd grade stuff.
Yeah, why are a good bit of the most recent instructables using this '#ferociousdonuts'?
Great job on your first Instructable! I like the black and white color scheme that you chose for your lanyard. What are ferocious doughnuts?

The man and woman ate.
The world plunged into a swirl of sights and sounds;
Chaos and turmoil were everywhere.
Their vision grew dim;
What had been music became senseless noise;
Clarity dissolved into confusion.
They tried to find meaning,
But their minds were dull and their hearts fast asleep.
They could not perceive or understand,.
Distortions prevailed,
Death held the world in its tight, icy grip.
All attempts to get free failed miserably.
Then came a man from God,
Who was alive, whole and free from Satan's grasp.
He saw clearly and understood well;
He heard the Father;
His music was the song of salvation,
Declared to all people with deepest love.
Satan thought he had won,
But he turned out to be the greatest of fools.
He cheered when the Man was crucified,
The world was still his;
But Jesus rose triumphant from the grave,
Freeing us to live with Him forever.
Now He lives in our hearts,
So we can see and understand Him clearly.
Chaos and distortions fall away
When we look through Him,
Listening to His voice and hearing His words,
His reality is ever clearer.

Hello! I made it home yesterday after a minor snag in travel plans. As I was getting on the plane I realized it was going to LAX, but I flew out of Long Beach (where my car was)! I scrambled to text my dad and he completely saved the day and got me to my car when the flight landed.
Then, I spent the day washing my gross clothes and cleaning. I only have two days home before I head out to the east coast again. I'm trying to be efficient with my time even though I really just want to sit on the couch and catch up on trash TV.
I'm listening to some of my favorite, but super random tunes while being efficient instead of TV. I never listen to music during the day so I feel all fancy-like.
This morning I did a 4 mile easy run and spent some time with the foam roller.
My back was super tight during the New York City Marathon, but I don't have time for a massage. I'm hoping a little lunch time yoga will help!
Actually, I probably couldn't get a massage right now because I have a thin cut across my entire lower back from wearing my spibelt weird at the race. I had it on backwards and kinda high on my waist since I needed to have easy access to my phone for pictures.
Besides that I feel really good considering I ran 26+ miles Sunday! I did do an ice bath after the race and am sporting some ProCompression again today to help.
I also think the Cocoa Brookies I made last night are helping me bounce back fast
Last night I wanted a treat, but didn't have anything good in the house. So, I tossed a few things in a bowl to make a min-batch of brownies. Then, I found a few leftover Halloween Reese's in the fridge and decided to chop 'em up and toss them in! Thennnnnn, I decided I didn't want to dirty a pan and made them cookies instead.
Cocoa Brookie Recipe
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp vanilla, baking soda, salt
- 1/3 cup greek yogurt vanilla
- 1/4 cup egg whites or 1 egg
- 2 chopped reese's pb cups or handful chocolate chips
Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Mix vanilla, egg, greek yogurt and sugar. Combine. Add Reese's. Drop onto spoonfuls on a sprayed baking sheet. Bake until firm. Enjoy! I did.

Question: Reese's, Snickers or Twix?
This was a hot debate this weekend.

Check this out! This is the 5000 Poppies Project I crocheted the poppy for a few months ago and told you all about. You can read about it on my blog post here. It seems that there has been much media coverage of late and so much interest and I am just so thrilled to hear that the 5000 Poppies Project has received this kind of support!
Such a lovely idea and remembrance for those that served. I can't wait to see the final installation this ANZAC Day. And I have to say, it does feel good to be involved in a home-grown, very Aussie, community project from so far away. Feeling quite patriotic, actually (humming … Once a jolly swagman/Camped by a billabong …).
If any of my Aussie readers happen to see the finished project would you please take a pic and post it for me? I know the display will start in Melbourne on ANZAC Day (April 25 for those unfamiliar) but as I understand it the plan is to travel around the country to display the finished piece all over during the 100th anniversary year (this year). So it may well come by your neighbourhood sometime. Keep a look out for my little poppy I made in honour of my Great Grandfather, Pvt Edgar Gibbons!
Anzac Day 2015: Melbourne handmade poppies project exceeds expectations, hopes to collect 200,000 flowers
UpdatedPHOTO: People from around Australia have been creating knitted, felted and crafted poppies for the project. (ABC News)
Two Melbourne artists behind a project to create 5,000 handcrafted poppies to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Anzac landings say they expect to finish with about one kilometre's worth of flowers.
Lynn Berry and Margaret Knight started the project in June 2013, and thanks to other volunteers, their 5,000 poppy target was shattered and they are now on track to reach 200,000.
Margaret Knight told ABC News Breakfast the project was initially a way for the two women to commemorate their fathers' war service.
"We were into commemorative art and we decided to do what we call a 'yarn bombing' around the battalion tree [for the battalion] that Lynn's father fought in, and on the walk to the shrine," Ms Knight said.
"And my father was a British soldier [so] that's where it all started."
Lynn Berry said the idea quickly snowballed.
"Everybody was asking, you know … do you mind if I knit a couple, my mother would like to knit a couple, my aunt works at a retirement village and the retirement village ladies would like to knit a couple," Ms Berry said.
Ms Berry said the project had now collected about 170,000 knitted, felted and crafted poppies.
"And we're expecting by the end of it to have somewhere in excess of 200,000," she said.
"It'll be about one kilometre of poppies by the time we're finished."
The poppies will be assembled onto nets and placed around Melbourne as fields of poppies.
She said the finished product will be beautiful, because no two poppies are exactly the same.
"Well, many of them follow the same pattern, but everybody puts their own slant on them," Ms Berry said.
"We get tatted and knitted [ones] and just the most glorious creations."
Ms Knight said the project was also initiating plenty of conversations among families.
"I think it's encouraged people to have a look into their family history of service," she said.
The poppies will go on display at Melbourne's Federation Square on Anzac Day.

Suffering is a reality that we all deal with. It is evident in every day we live. Death. Decay. Relational stress. Financial need. Poverty. It is all around us.
And for many, suffering causes us to doubt the trustworthiness of God's love. And often times, when we enter into trials that feel so demanding, we feel that either God is unable to help, or that he doesn't want to help. What's worse is that trials can prompt us to feel that perhaps we've done something wrong to offend God. We think that maybe our suffering is God's subtle way of communicating that he is unhappy with us.
But are these thoughts about suffering correct? Is God really made at us? According to Paul's letter to the Romans, this mindset is simply not correct. More than that, the New Testament as a whole never assumes that suffering and God's love can't be happily intermingled. In fact, in the book of Romans, the concept of suffering is harmonized with God's goodness and purpose for his people. In Romans 5:1-5, Paul says:
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
Paul has just finished talking about the justification of God for those who place faith in Christ. For those in Christ, God's wrath is no longer against us, and he now sees us as just and righteous because of Christ death and resurrection on our behalf. What good news!
But in verse 3, Paul then declares that because we are justified through Christ, we can now rejoice in our sufferings. What an astonishing statement! Apparently for Paul, the gospel and our forgiveness in Christ transforms our suffering, and rather than doubting God's love, we can actually rejoice all the more in our suffering. But how does the gospel transform our suffering?
First, the gospel transforms our suffering by assuring us that God is not angry with us:
During great trials, it is easy for the Christian to believe that God is holding a grudge against you. Perhaps you have been unable to find a job, and bills are piling up. It may be tempting to think, especially as a responsible adult, that God is withholding from you in some way. I mean, doesn't God want us to have good jobs to provide for our families? Why would he withhold this sort of thing from his children? After asking this questions, it is easy, in our own fleshly and limited minds, to think that perhaps it's not God's fault, but our own. Maybe there is some sort of sin that we haven't repented of, or perhaps I haven't given enough of my life over to him. If we are honest with ourselves, we have all considered these things during hardship.
But, Romans 5:1 tells us that through Christ, we have peace with God. And this means that God is no longer at enmity with us because of our sin. Consequently, this means that he is no longer angry, even in the greatest of trials. The reason is because the wrath of God was poured out on Christ instead of us, and therefore this means that any and every trial is not, nor will it ever be, connected with God's wrath. God is not punishing his children because he's upset. God is not holding a grudge against us. And it is because God has already poured out all of the wrath he had toward us in Christ.
And so this means that in the midst of trials, we can rest assured that we are not experiencing suffering because of God's anger.
Second, the gospel transforms our suffering by allowing us to trust that God is using it for good, and not bad:
This point is crucial. Not only is God not angry at us, but also, God is able to use whatever we go through to, as Paul says, produce character, endurance, and hope. Because God is not using the trials we experience to harm us, and because we are at peace with God, Paul is able to assure us that God is using suffering to grow us, not to harm us.
How does God do this though? Paul expounds on this point in Romans 8:28, saying that "we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good". This verse is simply amazing. Even the most traumatic of experiences, according to Paul, can be wielded by God for our ultimate good. In the end, God will use every headache, every unpaid bill, every death, every bout of depression, and every sin for our good.
And it is because we are justified, and made a friend of God, that God will not allow anything we go through to harm us ultimately and finally. Though we may experience temporary pain in the trial, at the end of the trial, ultimately, we are better because of it. And to this end, the Christian can trust in God's sovereign hand even in the most trying of circumstances.
Third, the gospel transforms our suffering by forcing us to depend on God's love through his Spirit:
Lastly, the gospel enables us cling ever more closely to the love of God in Christ by the Spirit. Paul says in Romans 5:5 that we gain hope in trials because God's love is made manifest by his Spirit in our hearts. What Paul means by this is that in trials, we are forced to hope ever more in God's love, and in nothing else.
We are forced to trust in the midst of fiery trials that God's love for us does not grow dimmer, but rather burns all the brighter! We are forced in times of distress to trust that God's love in Christ is sufficient to hold us through it. And in this we find God's ultimate good in every trial: we are forced to trust in Christ more because of each trial we experience. Without trials, our faith would not have grown to where it is now. And because of this, trials and suffering serve us more than we could ever know, because they force us to recognize other things we may be trusting in, and transfer that trust onto Christ.
Whereas we might think that money gives stability, in times of financial duress, we are forced to no longer trust in money, but in Christ who holds all things together. Whereas we may think that "looking good" will provide popularity and acceptance, when looks start to fade, we are forced to believe that Christ's righteousness is enough acceptance.
And this is why Paul says that in trials we are able to grow in hope that never puts us to shame. It causes us, by God's Spirit, to depend more and more on the love of God in Christ Jesus. And it causes us to truly believe that Jesus really is enough.
In this way, the gospel radically transforms our suffering. It is no longer a cause for us to doubt God's love. Instead, it actually has the opposite effect. It causes us to lean ever more into the depth of love found in Christ Jesus, and to trust that "we have peace with God" (Rom 5:1).

Does anyone know this guy? STEAM_0:0:45349210 nickname kILLER
Hey community,
does anyone know this annoying guy?
He is always insulting when better players are around. He starts crying and that those guys (including me) were cheating!
An hour ago he was playing at italy and I killed people like I was using wallhack! Actually there was a weapon pick, kevlar noise or anything else that you can solve using your brain like Player X killed your teammate and you then killed Player Y knowing now that Player X is still there!!!!!
Then insulting starts and he wants to take demos for valve! I did demos as well at that point! He was crying ervery time and I was talking to a wall! No explanation accepted.
He said that he plays CS since first release and that he knows cheaters. His newer Steam ID and his gameplay say something else!
As this wasn't the first time he was insulting me or others I googled his Steam ID and then it was clear who he was and that I know him from the past. He varies names and starts his mission saving the internet from cheating!!!!
I confronted him that his newer Steam ID doesn't fit with his "first release story" about playing. Then I suspected HIM of cheating and that his very old Steam ID (if it really exists or if it only was another newer one) was banned by VAC!!!
Funny that he confessed it and at this point the already ridiculous situation becomes really absurd!!!
You know what I mean? ;)

Just Bee started about a year ago and those of you that read this blog back in the day (yes, when we had our old branding and everything – see pic below) may remember we sponsored Ken Buckley and Liverpool University in their attempt to break the human powered land speed record. However, if this is all new to you, basically they designed, built and rode a bicycle 75.03mph to break the British land speed record (yes, you read that right: on a push bike!)
We thought we would catch up with Ken "wizz kid" Buckley to understand how he did it (aside from being fuelled by Just Bee!), what keeps him motivated and hear about his new performance coaching business buckleyperformancecoaching.co.uk …
Above: Riders Ken Buckley and David Collins with the Liverpool University engineering team after breaking the British land speed record!
Tell us more about this British record, Ken…
JB: Hey Ken! What did it feel like when you became the fastest man in Britain? (JB: For those of you that don't know, the British land speed record is the fastest land speed achieved by any wheeled vehicle in the United Kingdom, as opposed to one on water or in the air. The world record set by a Canadian stands at 86mph, but Ken smashed the former British record which had been set at 67mph – he rode 75.03mph!)
KB: Relief mainly! It had been such a long build up. I was in training for 9 months, and it was a very high pressure event! I didn't break the record until the last day of the 5 day event, which meant even more build up and pressure during the week.
JB: How do you think you managed to break the record? Was there anything you think contributed the most – aside from drinking Just Bee in your training!?
KB: Ha – Yes, Just Bee definitely helped as hydration is a key factor and a bit of natural energy from the honey. I also worked with amazing sports nutritionists that monitored my nutrition. They monitor everything, for example, at one stage of the process, we discovered I was deficient in protein. They alerted me to this, so we could rectify it before it hindered my progress.
JB: Do you ever use honey in your diet / fitness regime?
KB: Yes, I actually have an endless supply, because my dad is a beekeeper too!
Even though I generally follow a low sugar diet (outside of my ice cream indulgences!), I prefer it to refined sugar every time, which I try to avoid. Honey is a far healthier source of sweetener. I have it on my porridge in the mornings.
I also make a 'recovery smoothie' with strawberries and honey, which I drink after training. (JB: As you may know dear readers, honey can help your body to make the most of the 'anabolic window' of muscle building and repair that starts when your workout ends. See, there's no end to its' talents!).
JB: Ice cream indulgences? Is this your secret guilty food pleasure?! It will make us non-athletes feel better!
KB: I have to confess; I've got a real sweet tooth for ice cream! Anything like Ben & Jerry's that's gooey, chocolatey and 'caramel-ey', I can't resist! I do have to resist my cravings and discipline myself when in training, which I must admit, I don't like at all!
JB: Are there any other foods you swear by for your regime?
KB: Definitely protein to make me stronger (I mainly get this from whey protein shakes and fish – I don't eat a lot of meat). I also try and ensure that my vegetable intake makes up as much of my daily calories as I possibly can, the more the better!
Above: Ken Buckley fuelling up in the "Arion 1" bicycle before a race.
How do you motivate yourself and your clients?
JB: Whilst you're a professional sports coach, do you ever have to use your own motivating tools for getting yourself out of bed to train?! What tips can you share with us?
KB: I must admit that I haven't the greatest track record for getting out of bed early, which is why I really can help when it comes to passing on advice to others!
It's important to work towards something, setting a goal if possible (be that to lose a stone, or get your speed up by so many mph). Measure your progress as you go – this really does help with motivation. When you see your results, it will spur you on to do more.
JB: Why did you get into coaching and what services do you offer?
KB: I'd being doing this for a long time anyway really, helping out friends and family, so I decided the natural next step was to do it professionally.
I'd learnt a lot from being coached myself over the years, so it felt like the natural progression.
I absolutely love it; seeing people improve and reach their goals is just as rewarding as winning a race myself! I coach a mix of people, from leisure cyclists doing things like a charity bike ride to add structure to their training, right through to time trials and hard core racing.
Above: Rider Dave Collins preparing for another mega fast bike ride with the Liverpool University engineers. Spectacular back drop of the Nevada desert
Above: The old branded Just Bee cartons weren't very good at cycling so went for a little hike in the desert instead!
And there is more than just the cycling isn't there…
JB: How did you get into cycling?
KB: Well I was actually a rower first! I was elected to be part of the GB Rowing World Class Start programme looking for new talent for the London 2012 Olympics. A bad back injury meant I had to stop rowing at a competitive level so I moved on to cycling, which I love! Without a doubt, the best thing about cycling is the speed- I love cycling really fast, nothing beats it! Aside from that, the races, competing with other people and reaching my goals, it all combines to make a heady mix.
JB: Do you do any other regular sports or fitness classes outside of cycling?
KB: Absolutely, I love keeping fit. I love yoga, stretching and core strength work, anything helps me to reach my optimum performance and fitness.
JB: Wow, well there you have it, Ken's a yoga bunny too! Thanks so much for your time today Ken, and for sharing your words of wisdom with us, it's great to get inspiration from someone doing so well in their field. We'd like to wrap up with one final burning question…..have you got a favourite Just Bee flavour?!
KB: Yes, apple & ginger!
Amazing choice there Ken! If anyone would like to get in touch with Ken regarding performance coaching, visit buckleyperformancecoaching.co.uk. You can find Ken on social too @BuckPerfCoach
We hope you enjoyed this as much as we did busy bees! We love to hear your feedback, so get in touch via firstname.lastname@example.com or via @JustBeeDrinks.
Bye for now!
Just Bee x
Ken celebrating... Erm, that's not Just Bee Ken!

When people's reckless actions result in death, that's manslaughter. Now that the activist SCOTUS judges have rules that corporations are people, it's only fair that they should be tried for manslaughter or murder when they kill someone. In the case of the Deepwater Horizon oil catastrophe, 11 people were killed and 17 injured.
Now there is proof that BP and Haliburton acted recklessly.
WASHINGTON — Halliburton knew weeks before the fatal explosion of the Macondo well in the Gulf of Mexico that the cement mixture they planned to use to seal the bottom of the well was unstable but still went ahead with the job, the presidential commission investigating the accident said on Thursday.
In the first official finding of responsibility for the blowout, which killed 11 workers and led to the largest offshore oil spill in American history, the commission staff determined that Halliburton had conducted three laboratory tests that indicated that the cement mixture did not meet industry standards.
The result of at least one of those tests was given on March 8 to BP, which failed to act upon it, the panel's lead investigator, Fred H. Bartlit Jr., said in a letter delivered to the commissioners on Thursday.
Another Halliburton cement test, carried out about a week before the blowout of the well on April 20, also found the mixture to be unstable, yet those findings were never sent to BP, Mr. Bartlit found.
"We have known for some time that the cement used to secure the production casing and isolate the hydrocarbon zone at the bottom of the Macondo well must have failed in some manner," he said in his letter to the seven members of the presidential commission. "The cement should have prevented hydrocarbons from entering the well."
The failure of the cement set off a complex and ultimately deadly cascade of events as oil and gas exploded upward from the 18,000-foot-deep well. The blowout preventer, which sits on the ocean floor atop the well and is supposed to contain a well bore blowout, also failed.
In an internal investigation, BP identified the faulty cement job as one of the main factors contributing to the accident and blamed Halliburton, the cementing contractor on the Macondo well, as the responsible party. Halliburton has said in public testimony that it tested and used a proper cement formula on the well and that BP's flawed well design and poor operations caused the disaster.
