Unless your baby shows outward signs of illness or some other health problem, you may not know anything is wrong. Some conditions require blood tests or a doctor's practiced eye to detect. Well-child checkups, which you should schedule, are the best way we have of finding potential problems early when they can be more easily and successfully treated.
Put your copy of the "Well-Child Checkups and Immunizations/Vaccinations" chart where you can refer to it easily. Making and keeping appointments with your child's pediatrician will help keep your baby healthy and happy.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention publishes a schedule of immunizations needed by age for children from birth through age 6. Immunizations will protect your child from getting many serious illnesses (like polio, measles, mumps and others) that can cause lifelong problems. So it's very important that your child be up to date on shots. If you have questions about which immunizations your baby received in the hospital at birth, call your doctor. Experts have studied these vaccines to ensure they are safe and effective.
Also make sure your baby gets a flu shot every year.
NOTE: If your child misses a shot, you don't need to start over. Just go back to your child's doctor for the next shot. The doctor will keep your child up to date on vaccines. Talk with your doctor if you have questions. Making and keeping appointments with your child's pediatrician will help keep your baby healthy and happy.
This schedule applies to healthy children. Parents of children who are born more than two months premature, with chronic diseases (like sickle cell disease, anatomic or functional asplenia, HIV or other immunodeficiencies) or who have cochlear implants should talk to the doctor about additional needed vaccines.
For more information about diseases that can be prevented by a vaccine, call 1-800-CDC-INFO (1-800-232-4636) or visit www.cdc.gov/vaccines/spec-grps/infants/downloads/parent-ver-sch-0-6yrs.pdf.
Visit HealthyFamiliesNow.net/resources to print out a copy of this chart to hang on your refrigerator or somewhere that you can refer to it easily.
1. HepA vaccination is recommended for high-risk children older than 2 years. Children with certain medical conditions may also need a dose of meningococcal vaccine (MCV4) and pneumococcal vaccine (PPSV). HepA vaccination may be administered to any child older than 2 years for whom immunity is desired. See vaccine-specific recommendations at http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/ACIP-list.htm.
2. Two doses given at least four weeks apart are recommended for children aged 6 months through 8 years of age who are getting a flu vaccine for the first time. Children who only got one dose in their first year of vaccination should get two doses the following year.

Over 60 House Democrats Demand Republicans Who Called for Health Care Repeal to 'Walk the Walk'
Washington, D.C. —Today, Reps. Joseph Crowley (D-NY), Linda Sánchez (D-CA), Donna F. Edwards (D-MD) and Tim Ryan (D-OH) along with 57 other House Democrats formally sent a letter to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker-elect John Boehner requesting an update on which Republican members and members-elect who have called for a repeal of the Affordable Care Act will decline their own taxpayer-subsidized health care.
The letter is in response to a November 16 article in Politico, where it was reported that Rep.-elect Andy Harris (R-MD), who ran on a platform of repealing the Affordable Care Act, raised concerns during an orientation seminar over the gap in coverage he would incur when receiving his health care benefits through the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program (FEHBP).
Harris questioned one of the many problems with America's current health care system– coverage gaps. Most Americans also face a gap in coverage when changing jobs and that gap is often twice as long as the 28 days Harris and other members-elect will have to wait come January. Not to mention, millions of Americans find themselves without any health insurance for months or even years. This is exactly why Democrats have been so committed to improving our health care system in a way that provides families with stable access to health care.
"For months, Republicans have been shoveling out hypocrisy and lies to the American public, and it ends here. It is time for Republicans to put their proverbial money where their mouth is – if they want to deny Americans access to health care, they should not accept taxpayer-subsidized care for themselves," said Rep. Crowley. "Every American wants to provide their family with care and as the father of three, I can understand why Rep.-elect Harris was concerned about a lapse in coverage for a period of time. But, the harsh reality is that millions of Americans experience gaps in care for even longer periods of time – if they even have any coverage at all. And, that is exactly what the Affordable Care Act is about – giving all Americans access to care."
"I have a 17 month-old baby boy and a family, so I can understand why Rep.-elect Harris was worried about not being covered. But there are millions of American families struggling to find and afford the coverage they need. That's why we passed the Affordable Care Act that these Republicans are clamoring to repeal. I don't think it's too much to ask that people's elected representatives live within the same bounds as those they seek to govern. Republicans did nothing for two years but work against health insurance reforms calling it government run health care. Now those same Republicans are reaping the very benefits they wish to deny all other Americans. That to me is the definition of hypocrisy and even worse, selfishness. And in these difficult times we need less selfishness and more selflessness,"said Rep. Sánchez.
"Republican hypocrisy regarding the Affordable Care Act is astounding," said Rep. Edwards. "Republicans vow to repeal health insurance reform that will provide quality and affordable health care for millions of Americans. Yet, they complain when faced with the possibility of a short gap in insurance coverage that other Americans face, many with no insurance coverage. All Americans deserve equal access to health care. If Republicans are willing to repeal coverage for millions of Americans, they have no right to accept employer-subsidized FEHBP health insurance or complain about the quality of coverage they are attempting to prevent others from having."
"House Republicans have spent the past year campaigning against the Affordable Care Act – spending hundreds of millions of dollars to vilify legislation that will positively and significantly impact the lives of 30 million Americans," said Congressman Tim Ryan. "Now that the campaign is over, Republicans are showing their true colors – insisting that they receive immediate access to the health care system that they were so quick to deny the average citizen. This is clearly a case of Pot v. Kettle, and the American people deserve better."
The text of the letter sent to Senate Minority Leader McConnell and Speaker-elect Boehner and the names of the 61 House Democrats who support the letter are below:
November 23, 2010
The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable John A. Boehner
S-230, U.S. Capitol H-204, U.S. Capitol
Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515
Dear Senator McConnell and Representative Boehner:
We were surprised to read in Tuesday's article "GOP frosh: Where's my health care?" in Politico that some of your incoming members are unhappy with the health benefits they are eligible to purchase under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) – particularly the fact that there is a delay before benefits take effect. Ironically, this is the same predicament millions of Americans currently find themselves in.
It is amazing that your members would complain about not having health care coverage for a few weeks, even after campaigning to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which will help provide coverage to millions of Americans who find themselves without health insurance for months or even years.
We also find it interesting that members of the Republican conference would have no problem taking away health coverage from hard-working Americans, but expect expanded coverage for themselves and their families. The system set up by the Affordable Care Act will allow Americans to choose the plan that works best for them from a variety of private insurance plans, just like the FEHB program that members of Congress are now able to access. The uninsured, small-business employees, and the self-employed will now be able to benefit from this same choice and competition.
It begs the question: how many members of the Republican conference will forgo the employer-subsidized FEHBP coverage and experience what so many Americans find themselves forced to face? If your conference wants to deny millions of Americans affordable health care, your members should walk that walk. You cannot enroll in the very kind of coverage that you want for yourselves, and then turn around and deny it to Americans who don't happen to be Members of Congress. We also want to note that in 2011, the Federal government will pay $10,503.48 of the premiums for each member of Congress with a family policy under the commonly-selected Blue Cross standard plan.
It is important for the American people to know whether the members of Congress and members-elect who have called for the repeal of health insurance reform are going to stand by their opposition by opting out of the care available to them at the expense of hard-working taxpayers. We look forward to your response in the coming days about exactly how many of the members in the Republican conference will be declining their taxpayer-supported health benefits.

Long time no blog… Life has been hectic! With exam season over and me deciding not to take classes in the summer semester (for once) I have come back to give blogging a try. Hope you enjoy! Please feel free to leave any comments on blog posts you would like to see. Now on to the review…
So I have been having a horrible time with my skin lately and by that specifically I mean ACNE. Well maybe not so much acne but reoccurring breakouts that seem to go away and come back again and it has not been fun.
Let me start off with a little bit of my skin history just because I feel like it's relevant in order for you guys to know whether this review is helpful for you or not. All throughout those awkward teen years I never really suffered from too much pimples; don't get me wrong I would occasionally get some spots and was a bit over dramatic about them (as any pre adolescent girl would be) but fortunately I did not have to deal with them too often. I credit this to the Clean and Clear Advantage 3 in 1 Foaming Acne Wash. It did wonders for my skin. My skin has always been combination; oily in the T-Zone and normal in the cheeks and because I had this skin type my breakouts were always on my forehead (the oiliest part of my face).
Recently my skin has been acting up and I decided to try the Clinique 3 Step Skincare System. The line caught my eye when I watched some YouTube videos of girls talking about how it worked for their skin so I had some high hopes because all the girls who had my skin type were raving about it. My skin type is number 3 on Clinique's skin type-numbering systems.
What I noticed with my skin after using the system was that I was getting breakouts in places I had never gotten them before. For instance, as I said above, I never got pimples in my cheeks and now all of a sudden they were forming especially close to my lip and chin area. What I realized was that the system was drying my skin out way too much. Even though I was using the skin type number that was right for me, the system just was not working for me. The system was drying my skin out in all the wrong places. The plus side was that my T-Zone was breakout free.
The problem that I have with the Clinique system is the fact that the products for my specific skin type (# 3) did not work as they said they would.
Now I understand that having combination skin is very annoying and it is difficult for products to balance out on the skin but if the product can't live up to that claim then it shouldn't make it.
The Clinique 3 Step Skincare System contains, well, 3 steps… The first is a cleanser (you will get a different one based on your skin type) and what I noticed with the cleanser is that both oily skin and oily combination skin received the same cleanser. I think this may have been one of the reasons as to why my skin got so dry in some places. The cleanser was stripping my skin of natural oils which was fine in my T-Zone but not fine anywhere else. The second step, the toner, is more individualized than the cleanser but I still felt that it was too drying for my skin even though it was formulated for my skin type. The last step is moisturizer. If your skin is to the oilier side like mine you will use a moisturizing gel and if you are on the drier side you will use a moisturizing lotion. I did happen to like the moisturizing gel. It was light and seemed to calm my skin down but it was a little too light for me for the night so I have decided to keep using it in the daytime.
The Clinique 3 Step Skincare System is not for me and I would not recommend it for other combination oily skin types. If your skin is truly oily all over it may help.
For now my skin is still in a rut and I am trying to figure out what works for me. I am keeping makeup to a minimal or none at all type of deal. I have just recently been trying some products from Origins that I hope will help. I will do a review on those products as soon as I give them more time to work their magic.
I hope you found this review helpful and keep in mind that all skin types are different so if the Clinique 3 Step Skincare System works for you that is awesome. It just hasn't for me.
Stay happy!
- Cate W.

Dr. Nonspeth was deep in the ravine, face up, listening. There was a lot to listen to, more calls than he could manage, the strident and common—goldfinch and song sparrow—and the squeakier, buzzier voices that mattered. Up among the branches, itchy with soft-bodied larvae, were tanagers, vireos, flycatchers—and warblers, warblers, warblers. It was an Easter egg hunt on Christmas morning.
The night before, radar had flared on his laptop screen, following sunset across the continent, and then, after midnight, rain had rumbled through and knocked the birds from the sky. The morning forests were dripping and alive. It was the promise of days like this that kept your soul from abandoning your body and sailing to Mexico during the bleak months.
Up above, at street level, oblivious vehicles pulsed up and down the streets with hockey flags flapping from their window frames. Those cheap adornments were a relatively new invention, and their sudden appearance indicated the start of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Go Leafs Go. They also served to remind that it was time to polish binocular lenses and think about watching the radar at night, perhaps cancelling office hours the next day.
He was a pediatric ophthalmologist. Ninety-five percent of his cases involved corrective surgery for strabismus. One could argue it was one of the best specialties a medical doctor could have. Children came to your office unafraid, knowing they weren't going to get a needle. You darkened the room and had them read letters off a distant screen, clicking through the lenses as the letters blurred and cleared. Eventually they would come up with the right answer and feel proud of themselves. Then you would encourage them to play with the prismatic apparatus that lined up the pictures, the frog on the lily pad, the butterfly in the net. Fun! The worst they ever got was drops in their eyes, and then you would have a tissue handy.
Eventually, when you operated on them, they were unconscious. They never even saw you masked and gowned. You came in after the nurses had reassured them and the anaesthesiologist had put them under. Though wide-eyed through the procedure, your masked image on their retinas was not backed up, was stored nowhere.
Later you were there, unmasked, to remove the patch, to tell them they looked beautiful. With amblyopia constant at a rate of about four percent of the population, as long as people kept having children, there would always be patients.
True, cancelling office appointments on account of a fallout inconvenienced children and their parents and gave Edwina the receptionist fits, but it only happened once or twice a year. He would have her explain that he had been called away to perform an emergency surgery that morning—as if there were such thing as an emergency strabismus surgery. Based on laws of probability, two of seven fallouts occurred on the weekend, in which case there would be no need to jigger things. So some years you had to, some years not. He had ethics, of course. He would never duck out of a scheduled surgery, no matter what the birds were doing. He avoided that issue entirely by never scheduling operations during the first two weeks of May.
In any case, a postponed appointment, a minor annoyance to child or parent, was a reasonable trade-off placed next to the ongoing benefits to a pediatric ophthalmologist. Taking joy in neotropical migration was healthy—and good for one's soul—and, as every patient should know, a happy doctor is a better doctor. More importantly, finding and identifying birds was a soul-nourishing activity that done regularly reinforced that self-evident truth to the birder, even if you weren't a pediatric ophthalmologist. It made you want to open this glorious world to children, to nourish their souls, provide them a lifelong gift. With strabismus, you could not possibly see correctly through binoculars. One eyeball would be pointed uselessly at the inside or outside of one or other barrel, which would be immensely, cripplingly frustrating. Your first look through a pair of binoculars could easily, justifiably, be your last. The more he birded, the more determined he became to straighten the eyes of all the children of the world.
Tacked up among Bateman prints on his waiting room walls were missives from grateful parents—before and after pictures of their wonk-eyed children. There were heart-warming notes from some of the children too. "Dear Dr. Nonspeth, I hope I will always need to wear glasses because then you will always be my doctor."
Yup, there, his office, on the first floor of the old, crumbly wing of the children's hospital, he was the benign king of the universe. You would expect him to be a happy man.
But out here, down in the ravine, as his heart was filling with birdsong it was also quietly breaking at the edges.
He could not help but think that there were people in this world who were paid to watch birds. It didn't pay as much as realigning young eyeballs, not by a long shot, but it paid in other ways. He had always wanted to be one of those people, out in the wild places, in jungles and deserts. On oceanic islands perhaps. But now it was too late. That was a younger man's life. A foot had to have been in that door soon after high school, when physical strength and endurance and heedlessness were at their peaks. He had been in college, earning a medical degree, making his parents proud.
His revised dream was that at least one of the faces on his office wall would one day live that life, never having been tormented by a hopeless attempt to use binoculars. He or she would never know what hadn't been lost, would never think to thank him. He would never learn that his dream had come true.
By the time the rain resumed, his list had reached 68 species. Highlights were Mourning and Kentucky Warblers, Black-billed Cuckoo, and American Woodcock. No lifers—those were few and far between by now—but a satisfying outcome nonetheless.
He climbed the rickety wooden staircase to the busy road. Something was wrong with the lights at the corner. They were frozen red in all directions. The hockey flags flapped weakly in the mild spring breeze. For this city, this team, that was as good as it gets.

I love to take pictures so photography is generally inspirational to me. I love what a single photograph can capture.
I think that the photography of Toby Keller is stunning and that he truly captures amazing shots of motion in his photographs. I love the colors, the vividity, and just the overall images that he is able to capture.

Glasgow 2014: Commonwealth Games baton relay route unveiled
Commonwealth Games organisers have unveiled the route the Queen's Baton Relay will take around the world.
The 190,000km relay - far longer than the Olympic Torch relay - will travel to 71 nations and territories in seven months before arriving in Scotland.
It is 500 days until the 2014 Commonwealth Games is held in Glasgow - from 23 July to 3 August 2014.
The baton, whose design has not yet been revealed, will leave from Buckingham Palace on 9 October.
It will carry a message from the head of the Commonwealth, The Queen.
The relay will visit 71 nations and territories of the Commonwealth, including India, which will be its first venue on 11 October.
It will also visit Australia, South Africa, Canada and Jamaica as well as many smaller nations such as Tuvalu and Nauru, before returning to Scotland for an extensive tour in June 2014.
The relay is designed to unite the two billion citizens of the Commonwealth in a celebration of sport, diversity and peace.
Organisers said the relay offers Glasgow and Scotland a "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity to "shine" on the global stage.
The baton will spend an average of one to four days in each nation, with an extended duration of seven days in Wales, two weeks in England and 40 days in Scotland.
It will be in Vanuatu, in the South Pacific, over Christmas, bring in the start of 2014 in Sierra Leone and celebrate St Andrew's Day - dedicated to the patron Saint of Scotland - in New Zealand.
The smallest island on the route is Nauru, also in the South Pacific.
The Commonwealth baton will spend four days on board RMS St Helena as it crosses the South Atlantic Ocean from South Africa to St Helena.
The final relay runner will hand the baton back to the Queen at the opening ceremony of the Games.
The Queen will then read aloud the hidden message and officially declare the Games open.
The relay was introduced at the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Cardiff.
Before 1998, the relay would only travel through England and the host nation but by 2002, in Manchester, it was covering 100,000km and visiting 23 nations.
Melbourne 2006 was the first baton relay to visit all 71 nations which sent teams to the Games.
The 2014 games will see 4,500 athletes compete for 261 medals in 17 sports, held in 14 venues around Glasgow and beyond.
Hampden Stadium in Glasgow will be used for the track and field events, with the Emirates arena being used for badminton and the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome for cycling.
The venues at the SECC, including the new Hydro arena, will play host to gymnastics, boxing, judo, wrestling, weightlifting and netball.
Squash and table tennis will take place in Scotstoun, swimming at Tollcross and lawn bowls at Kelvingrove.
Ibrox stadium will be used for the rugby sevens and Celtic Park will host the opening ceremony.
Outside Glasgow, the Royal Commonwealth Pool in Edinburgh will host the diving, the Barry Buddon Centre in Angus will be the venue for the shooting and the triathlon will take place at Strathclyde Country Park in Lanarkshire.

Supreme Court Won't Hear John, Timothy Rigas Appeals
The Supreme Court Monday declined to hear the appeal of former Adelphia Communications executives John Rigas and son Timothy Rigas on their convictions of conspiring to commit securities and bank fraud.
That is according to a summary of case dispositions released Monday, which listed at the top of those appeals denied High Court hearings the case of "Rigas, Timothy J., et al. v. United States."
The Rigases claimed in their appeal that the government "was required to prove that petitioners had violated Generally Accepted Accounting Principles or to call an expert accounting witness in order to convict them of securities fraud and conspiring to commit securities fraud." The government had said it did not.
John Rigas, who is in his 80s, was founder and former chairman, president and CEO of the cable company, which was the fifth-largest cable provider in the United States before its collapse in 2002. His son, Timothy, was executive vice president and chief financial officer.
The pair was found guilty after the Rigas family mixed personal and corporate finances. Investors lost billions of dollars when Adelphia collapsed in 2002 after disclosures that members of the company's founding family were siphoning hundreds of millions of dollars from the company for personal use and had misrepresented the company's financial condition.
The scandal forced the company to seek Chapter 11 protection.
Timothy Rigas was sentenced to 20 years in prison and his father to 18 years.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) An impressive start from Hector Noesi was just a couple of pitches away from being something really special.
Noesi allowed three hits over 7 2-3 innings, and Adam Eaton had three hits and two RBIs to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 5-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Thursday night.
Noesi (5-7) gave up two runs, struck out three and didn't allow a hit until the fourth inning. Alexei Ramirez added two hits and an RBI for Chicago, and Jake Petricka went one inning to earn his fifth save in six chances.
''When you have command of your fastball, every pitch you can mix in, and they're going to swing and miss,'' Noesi said. ''But everything was working today.''
Phil Hughes (10-7) gave up two runs and four hits and struck out four for the Twins. But he left the game with a bruised right shin in the fourth inning when he was hit by a chopper off the bat of Adam Dunn. Hughes is listed as day-to-day.
Danny Santana hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning for the Twins, who couldn't touch Noesi for most of the game.
The White Sox claimed Noesi off waivers from Texas at the end of April and he has been up and down for most of the season. The Dominican right-hander had everything working against the Twins, who traded veteran Kendrys Morales to Seattle earlier Thursday in the first of what could be several salary dumps as the trade deadline approaches.
''The strides he's made are impressive from when we got him to what he's doing now where he's at,'' White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. ''To be able to go out and give you this it's definitely steps in the right direction.''
Noesi didn't allow a hit until the fourth inning, when Trevor Plouffe reached on a bloop single that plopped down between three White Sox. He allowed only two runners in the first seven innings, and by the time the Twins got to him in the eighth, it was too late.
''He kept us off balance all night long,'' Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said.
Hughes, in an ominous sign for a team that has struggled mightily to find quality starting pitching, limped off the field in the fourth inning after being hit. X-rays were negative, and Hughes is hopeful to make his next start.
The White Sox jumped on emergency reliever Samuel Deduno, who walked in a run and gave up a two-run single to Eaton to fall behind 4-0.
The Twins can't afford to lose Hughes, who has been by far their best starter this season. He entered the game with a 10-6 record and 4.06 ERA, and his reliable performance through the first half of the season made his three-year, $24 million contract one of the few bright spots during another miserable season in Minnesota.
''Just thankful it wasn't broken and just go from there,'' Hughes said. ''It's sore right now and I'm sure it will be worse tomorrow. I'm just happy it should be all right in a few days.''
NOTES: Chicago's Jose Abreu extended his hitting streak to 14 games with a double in the fifth. ... White Sox bench coach Mark Parent is not with the team for the series due to family reasons. ... With regular 3B coach Joe Vavra's hip ailing, the Twins have been using 1B coach Scott Ullger at third and Paul Molitor at 1B. Molitor is leaving the team this weekend to attend the Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Cooperstown so the Twins called up Sam Perlozzo to coach 1B for the rest of the weekend. Perlozzo is the team's minor league instructor. ... The White Sox send LHP John Danks (8-6, 4.35) to the mound on Friday night against RHP Kevin Correia (5-12, 4.76).

Christian was laid off in July of last year. That means it has been over a year since he had full-time employment. Even so, his time out of work has been a blessing to us in many ways:
1. He was able to go to school full time and graduate.
2. He has been able to stay home and take care of Graham. It is nice that we both understand what it is like to stay home full time and what it is like to work full time.
3. We were able to stop having the "Should we move to Alabama for your job?" conversation. I'm glad we're still in California.
4. We were able to get rid of one of our cars since we didn't need to go to two different jobs at the same time.
5. We've gotten much better about not spending money. I think this is a very important skill to have in life.
6. He has had time to help Richard do everything he needs in preparation for his mission.
7. He has been able to watch miss Maisie Lou during the day for our good friends, the Cutlers. (Graham LOVES when his girlfriend comes over.)
8. He has been here to do everything while I've been on bed rest. If he had a full-time job, I would have had to ask my mom and/or everyone I know to come help out for the last 8 weeks.
While it would be nice to have more income and/or for me to get to stay home with Graham, things have worked out well for us. We always knew it would. When Christian called me at work to tell me he had been laid off, we just kind of shrugged and said, "Okay. Sounds good." We know not everyone is in the position to react that way, but we have been lucky and we're grateful.

We were going to go on a short ride today. Especially after the spectacular meltdown of yesterday.
However hubby's quad, which was iffy all weekend, absolutely refused to start. Plus mine decided to start leaking fuel. So we got everything broken down and loaded and left camp around 11:30.
We stopped at Lake Mendo, or what's left of it (we need rain bad), and we swapped out and I drove the rest of the way home.
Gas wise it was a really cheap weekend. Only cost us about $200 total and we didn't go through all the gas we took with us (see yesterday's meltdown and Jenn refusing to get back on a quad - I did though).
Last night was a nice pot luck by campfire.
So we are home. We are tired and I still have Sunday's chores to finish.
Thus ends Jenn's lame contribution to her first ever NaBloPoMo
As for NaKniSweMo, well, um, er, eh, I did actually knit on hubby's sweater this month but it is sure a long way from finished.
I did finish my Cherry Garcia cowl. Then frogged the last repeat and bound off again. It should be perfect for the Christmas trip unless I decide to give it to someone as a Christmas present.

Completely Mental Breakdown
Was scared to death. Didn't want to go any farther. I do NOT like my quad.
After hubby got mad and got upset and got me to calm down and stop freaking out (this would be me screaming NO NO NO NO NO NO at the top of my lungs and crying in the middle of the trail - and yes I'm 38 why do you ask?)
He got me on his quad, which is MUCH BIGGER and way MORE STABLE, and I made it back down without another freak out.
Again the campfire saved me at the end of the day.
Friday, November 28, 2008
Lots and lots of Jenn freaking out on her quad going up to M5.
Hubby cracking the frame on the go-kart. Still not sure how that happened but he is fine.
MMMM camp fires good.
Knitting by camp fire pretty good too
Thursday, November 27, 2008
Happy Thanksgiving.
Have a good one.
See you Sunday.
Yeah that means I'm blowing NaBloPoMo.
Oh well. I'll have plenty to back post.

What I'll be Playing with this Weekend
Last time I was on a quad I rolled it.
Time before that I sprained my wrist.
And I've managed to roll the Kart twice.
This should be fun.

Not Cooperating
So I feel like crap, my body is not behaving itself.
Just reminding myself that it's worth it, and it is. No doubt about that.
This is what we want and hopefully it will work.
Keep your fingers crossed.
I'll think we will need all the help we can get over the next two months.

That Kind of Day
So I get up and grab the black light and start sniffing out 'accidents'. Find nothing and hit the shower.
Battle with Scrat monster over the muzzle. I think I'm winning (ha)
Head to car.
Grab socks from purse to put in gym bag, notice they are wet. What? Smell them.
Smokey Cat peed IN MY PURSE. My Hollywood Pink Malibu Namaste bag. IN IT!
Pull everything out that is wet and does not reek and throw into spare bag in car and head to work after going back in and grabbing the black light and telling hubby.
Scream all way to work (he ruined my Winnie the Pooh wallet too which I cannot replace).
Get to work and make sure the pee didn't get on my knitting. Noro Silk Garden need I say more?
Figure out I can pull the liner most of the way out and stick it in the sink (after emailing Namaste directly). Wash it thoroughly with soap and water. Slap in front of space heater at work.
Go to lunch to find new wallet (love Wilson Leather Outlet).
Come back and liner is dry and doesn't stink. Woo hoo. Maybe saved. May still have to rip out bottom seam of liner and scrub leatherette inside per Namaste.
Get call from hubby that Foster Lady returned my call. They still think we will only take a child we can adopt. Which means our placement has to come from adoption. Who still won't send me the paperwork because I'm undergoing fertility treatment (called again today to beg for the paperwork - didn't work). Hopefully have cleared this up again. We will take a child that might go home. We understand that. We are prepared. We don't care. We just want a child in our home. We are ready. Was told that if we still don't have a placement in 2 months we should go to a private foster agency. Which means relicensing.
I am going to pull my hair out.
But it sure looks like we won't have a placement before Christmas.
And yeah I'm crying.
Sunday, November 23, 2008
Productive or Not?
9:00 am - roll over look at clock, see hubby is out of bed, roll back over.
10:30 am - look at clock again and decide to stop being a slug
11:00 am - finish shower as hubby sticks his head in to see if he can have his turn.
11:30 am - have finished drying hair, brushing teeth making sure I don't stink and release the hounds
We start a plan to get Scrat to associate Number 2 with getting the muzzle off. Problem is you have to get him to go number 2 first. Gr. So for a walk we go and that works and off comes the muzzle
12:00 pm - start a multitude of laundry since we are going on a quad trip for thanksgiving.
12:30 pm - make sure my villages (travian server 6) are still standing in spite of inbound attacks. Ask hubby for reinforcements.
12:45 pm - start project Kitchen Reclamation while hubby start Garage Reclamation. Overlap each other by bringing him garage stuff from kitchen and taking house stuff in from garage. I'm not sure who won.
1:30 pm - decide I need to learn how to break the back end loose on both my quad and my cart. Finding riding gear first since last time we tried this it ended up with me bleeding profusely and sporting several lovely new scars.
2:30 pm - can break the back end loose from both without going into a roll. This is a good thing. Go back to working on the house and laundry
4:45 pm - figure out how to get Hubby's quad, my quad and my Kart into a 10' X 6.5 ' trailer. Be glad I'm not the one towing it once we do figure it out. Out of 12 tires, only 8 are actually on the floor of the trailer. Don't ask, I'll post a pic.
5:30 pm - have all the finished clothes put away and constant washer dryer swap outs happening. Tell Nemo the LOUD cat it's NOT dinner time yet.
5:45 pm - see what damage the last village raid did (why on earth are these idiot sending 300 TTs to my BFE village when I'm just going to kill all of them?) Tell hubby he lost some horse troops and to move reins to my next village that is getting attacked in a couple of hours.
6:00 pm - dig through freezer for dinner. Ooh ham and BBQ sauce on french rolls. Take trash out since tomorrow is garbage day.
6:30 pm - feed fur babies so they will BE QUIET. You'd they were starving. Feed hubby.
6:45 pm - the battle with Scrat and the Muzzle and going potty with the muzzle on begins anew. Needless to say he gets another walk and I'm freezing my tuckus off.
7:00 pm - start this blog post after maybe teaching Scrat that number 2 means no more muzzle.
7:09 pm - wrap up blog post so I can go in and eat my sandwich that I left on the counter 20 minutes ago. Hope Rasta didn't find it.
7:15 pm - edited multiple times to fix mistakes. Probably don't catch all of them. Sigh I was a physics and computer science major, cut me some slack, eh?

Muzzle Training...
Scrat the Brat eats rocks. Any of the people that follow this blog knows this.
I have insurance on him now and that helped with the last episode, but we like there to NOT be a third episode lest it finally be the one that means he has to be cut open. Not a good chance to take.
So Scrat is being 'woeful'. You put the soft mesh nylon muzzle on him and he starts shaking and gets that no one can resist (unless you've been dog owner for a VERY long time) poor poor me look on his face and stops still.
So out comes the leash so I can walk my dog around the yard because he will not go potty with the muzzle on without being on lead.
I guess he thinks that if he has to wear the darn thing, I have to walk him, even though I am always outside with them the entire time they are out in the yard (it's not fully fenced and they believe in walkabouts).
But I'm not caving this time. He's going to get used to the muzzle or rub his nose raw while he's outside trying to get it off. But it will stay on, he will go potty and Mommy will not cave and he will not eat anymore rocks if I can help it.

This will Fly
I've seen them fly before
- off of a 5 foot wake given by a willing yacht
- sky beneath them
When they landed and no knife was whipped
- out to alter the smile of a daredevil
This might work
They are
- companions
- coworkers
- playmates
and lovers
Each strong and capable in ways that elicit respect from one another
- This will Fly
To Love to Ken & Jenn

The Goddess in You
Animal: Owl
Color: Blue
Athena is one of the most powerful goddesses in Greek mythology. She was born from the head of Zeus. Zeus - father of all gods, and Metis - the titan of wisdom, had conceived a child. Zeus was worried about this child becoming more powerful than he was. He had the pregnant Metis turned into a fly and ate her. However, he later developed an incredibly powerful headache. He asked another god to bash him in the head to cure it, and out popped Athena, fully armored.
Athena is one of the most courageous of the Greek Goddesses. The city of Athens was named after her - a place of civilization, beauty, strength. Athena was the protectoress of the weak, the patron of warriors, the one who looked after women and children. She always liked to reason her way through an argument, but if she had to defend herself with weapons, she was extremely skilled. She was both independent and nurturing.
Athena is very good at crafts, and is most fond of pottery, spinning and weaving. She is the goddess of wisdom, and is usually represented by the wise owl.
The last section of that shouldn't come as any surprise to anyone that actually knows me.This was total swiped from PerpStu
PS this does not mean I'm going to start collecting owls. But I might have to go watch Clash of the Titans again.

Spent the day running errands, returning muzzles that didn't fit the rock eater (A.k.a Scrat the brat). So I had him with me today so I could make sure I got the right size.
Of course he hates them and does his best to master the 'Oh woe is me' look when he has it on, but I'm tired of forking over hundreds of dollars to get them out of his system. And it doesn't hurt him. And trust me, ruptured bowels would be worse and we have been lucky so far and haven't had to cut him open to remove any and I don't want to have to. They rarely survive that. Not taking any chances.
I picked up two new books today by Dean Koontz: The Darkest Night of the Year (I'm already up to page 200 and something) and Sole Survivor.
Now I'm going to go into the house and color my hair, read some more and probably work on the necklace I'm making for a friend for Christmas. Or knit. Or finish the laundry (oh that's funny). Or just veg.

Hope Springs Eternal...
We are still trying to get pregnant.
We have the IVF lined up to start next month.
There are $3000 worth of fertility drugs in my fridge.
We had hoped we got lucky naturally this cycle.
Twas not to be in spite of being three days late based on my last two cycles.
I'm spotting which means tomorrow temps will have dropped and I'll be in pain. The mental part of that show has already started.
You'd think after three years and in spite of knowing we have a IVF lined up, it wouldn't hurt this much. But it does and I suspect it will for a long time to come.
You want to rant and wail at whatever power that be that has decided that this isn't something that is going to come easy, in spite of the woman leaving her four year old at home to go on a drinking binge. Or the mother that drowned her kids by driving her car into a river or drowned them in the tub. Or the father that almost beat his toddler to death on the side of the highway. Or the b* that locked his daughter in the basement and forced himself on her for decades.
You wonder what you are doing wrong? What should you be doing differently? Why them, but not you?
Is it punishment for giving my son up all those years ago? He got a much better life than I could give him at the time. I did the right thing then, but am I paying for it now?
I just don't know. And most days it is the wondering why that is almost enough to keep me in bed. To lose that battle of tackling the new day rather than hiding from it.
I just wish I knew why me.

When the Light at the End of the Tunnel...
Monday I went back to the audiologist to order my new hearing aid. Oticon Epoq XW in Purple with a black Streamer and Orange Skin.
She checks my ear before putting in the goop for the impression and notices a block. Yep, disguta-Jenn has a complete blocked ear canal. That has never happened before.
So I make an appointment to get it cleared out. I ask her if that could have affected my speech recognition scores and she said maybe and that we will retest.
That was this morning. The block is gone. The hearing aid is ordered. My speech recognition scores did not improve at all. And we did it twice with different words.
Still 40%. Still a 22% drop in two years. Still no way to get it back. Still very sad about it.

To Finish Stuff...
We decided (thanks to a friend that is dying to rearrange my house) to redo the living room.
This meant moving the monster TV. That would be a 52" Pioneer Plasma from it's lovely corner in the living room, to it's very own wall.
But first it all got moved into the dining room.
That would be a wall with no power. And a top plate stuffed into a roof corner with 4" of clearance. That means drilling from below. Which means opening up the wall.
Since we are moving the orientation from a corner, with the couch cutting across the living room diagonally, to a wall, all the speakers had to be moved for the surround sound to work.
That means running all new speaker wire in the ceiling. As well as relocating the speakers.
Then we thought, oh network. That's one freaking huge monitor there and it's fun to play games on it, but you need internet. So two network lines got ran as well as phone. Don't forget the TV, though we haven't had TV in the house for over two years, we might want it again some day. So let's pull Coax too.
So I actually spent about 6 hours in the attic on Saturday. With loose fiberglass insulation. Have I mentioned just how ALLERGIC to that stuff I am? Triggered my first ever eczema flare 6 years ago which took a ton of prednisone to get under control. That which I cannot take right now. So I am super itchy but keeping it under control by driving everyone else around me nuts.
This is the corner the TV used to be in. See we are neat little wiring freaks and everything runs down the wall to jacks, speakers, network, cable, power. The whole thing.
After getting it moved. The entertainment center got put in place, but not till hubby and a friend spent the better part of Sunday using the dining room table to lay all the components out and figure out how to hook everything up, before it all got backed up to a wall.
So here it is in place, with the TV mounted. The EC in place. The DVD knickknack shelf in place and a huge mess of cables etcetera left over. Hehe.
Our decorator fiend friend will be coming over soon to finish rearranging the rest of the furniture.
And now to knitting. I finished the Dashing Gloves. And OMGosh they fit! This guy has huge hands. When I first started them and still had them on the needles I got him to try to put them on and they wouldn't even go over his hands. But I finished the first one thinking I could give them to another friend. I decided to have him try it on one day and I was nicely surprised and started the second one.
I think he likes them, or he's just super polite. :-) Yarn is the Jo Sharp Silk Tweed, blend something or other. It's yummy to knit with. I hope they last him a while.

It is Looking Good
The TV is mounted on the wall.
The entertainment center has been organized and put in place under it.
The shelving unit that holds all the movies and such fits next to it without having to cut into the stone of the hearth.
Hubby thinks it is cool.
I think it is time for bed.
Pictures tomorrow.

More Construction
1. Esthetician visit - hair removal ouch but so worth it
2. Knit group! Woo hoo! First time in over a month and I finished the Dashing gloves for a co-worker finally
3. Remodeling the living room. We are moving the TV and the wall we decided to hang it from didn't have power. So rip a hole in the wall. Realize there's fire blocking. Rip a bigger hole in the wall. Send wife (that would be me) up into the attic to push/pull electric/speaker/coax/network/phone for the better part of four hours. Patch up hole. Watch hubby putting outlets in. Remember I'm in NaBloPoMo. Come out to office and bore my handful of readers to death.
Tomorrow is paint the patch. Mount the TV. Put the furniture in it's new location to utilize ALL of the living room. Sleep. Throw in random snuggles with assorted pets.
Oh and laundry. Never forget the laundry.

Trying Not...
I doubt I will. If I'm going to prison it's going to be for something totally fun.
And that's all I have today.

How to Keep Going...
I have a friend that I know reads this blog. This is in direct response to something they are going through these days, but I do not know if the person is clued in to their own behavior enough to recognize what I am going to discuss. If they do recognize it, maybe they will thank me, maybe they will stop talking to me, but it needs to be said.
So this is intended to be a huge dose of get your head out of your butt because you are not the only one that has ever gone through anything like this, will go through anything like this, that there are worse things that could happen and if I can do it you sure as h* can.
I have 'formally' suffered from depression for over 6 years now. I say formally because I had to really hit rock bottom (as in almost suicidal) to realize that I did not want to follow my brother down that path. Note that I do not state that I am no longer suffering from it.
I've had three different therapists over the years. Been on meds and have been med (at least anti depressants) free for over 5 years. I do not believe you can treat depression with therapy alone. The meds can help. That said I won't take them any longer than necessary either. In my case they are not a solution, merely a means to one.
I do not believe that being depressed gives you a free pass to be passive about everything that happens to you, to just take whatever life throws at you, or to whine about it.
Even today, it is a struggle to get out of bed in the morning. I do not want to face the day. It is so much easier to just stay in bed. This in spite of the fact that I love my job, even when it is driving me nuts. I love my husband, even when he is driving me nuts. I have a few choice good friends that are worth getting up for as well. Depression is not logical, but neither can it win.
Every day that I manage to get out of bed and get on with my life is another battle won.
Some people would say I don't have anything to be depressed about. I have a lovely home, a husband that loves me, more animals then I ever thought I'd get to have, a good job, and some very dear friends.
Again with the not logical. But they don't know my history, where I've been, what I've gone through to get to where I am today. It is not something you can just get over, but it is something you can learn to deal with rather than letting it control you. But you have to WANT to beat it, not just deal with it, or use it to hold pity parties.
Then we talk about dealing with physical pain. Unfortunately this is also something I'm well versed in. For the past year+ I've been in constant pain more than 75% of the time. Some days it's better than others, other days it can prevent me from getting out of bed, but I do it ANYWAY. The surgery I had earlier this year did not completely solve the problem. But I get through it. I keep going and for the most part I believe no one has any idea just how much trouble it can be for me to stand up straight some days.
I go to kickboxing to help strengthen my muscles. I'm eating better to get my weight down so it does not make things worse. Granted I hide it from my doctor because the only way I'm being cut open again is for a C-Section or a cochlear implant thank you very much. But if it gets to the point where the getting out of bed cannot happen, I'll go back. I'm not totally stupid.
It can be debilitating, but thankfully those days are few and far between, much more so since the surgery in February.
When I think about giving in to pain and being a cry baby about it, I think of two things. My sister Anita and now my nephew Danny.
My sister Anita has a rare bone disorder that has results in multiple surgeries, mostly in the lower extremities over the course of her life. I cannot believe she walks without pain. But she walks and rides her bike 5 miles a day and she keeps going. I don't know how she does it. But she's one of the most upbeat people I know and the person I want on my side in a fight, because she doesn't give up.
I just recently (last week in fact) got in touch with my sister Chris after a long time of not speaking and found out some very scary news. My 18 year old nephew's left leg was crushed from the knee down in a motorcycle accident in June. He almost lost his leg, heck he almost lost his life. In fact, even right now it is still broken. I don't know how many surgeries he has had in the past five months, but I do know he just finished learning how to walk again ON A BROKEN SHATTERED LEG. And I talked to him.
I am so proud to call this young man my nephew. To him it is no big deal. He called his mom the day of the accident from the ambulance and was so upbeat she thought he was pulling a fast one till the paramedic came on the line. This is just something he has to handle and get through. He sounds great (so much like his father it is scary) and if you did not know what he was going through you would never hear it in his voice. He is a good egg and I am so glad he is still with us.
Life is to be lived, even if the very act of living is sometimes a chore. But you get through it, you bounce back, you get therapy if you need it, meds (legal please - hehe) to help, a different therapist if your current one is a whack job that is just using you as guaranteed income, you suck it up and you move on.
Yes some days will be worse than others, but some will also be better. Look forward to the good ones, rather than dwelling on the bad ones.
And in spite of my pain and my depression, I am happy to be alive, to be here, to have each new day that has been granted me. Because it is one more day to live and get it right.

Knitting Stuff and a Troll
I got (ignore most of the rest of the junk you see in the pic - I obviously need to clean my desk off):
Franklin's new book. It's totally adorable
Stephanie's Page a Day Calendar
Nancy Bush's Knitted Lace of Estonia - man they like nupps. I think I'll be using beads instead.
Rosemary's Elements of Style - but it's only available as pre-order right now. Gr. I want it now!
I also got Lego Batman for the PS2 and Lego StarWars the Complete Saga for my DS.
Now that interesting not so little creature you see there in the picture is my new Stargazer Troll.
My hubby got him for me while he was still in Arizona. I LOVE it. You can see more here.
Now I suppose I should go work on that sweater I started for NaKniSweMo.

Just Say No
Who I vote for on a regular basis tends to lean towards the person that pisses me off the least by the time the election roles around. Maybe that's wrong but at least I vote. And yes my ballot has already been cast for this election.
That said Prop 8 is causing turmoil, and rightly so. I am not very proud of the fact that I live in a state that allowed this to get on the ballot.
You cannot always choose who you love. Just look at women in abusive relationships with no seeming way out because they love the jerkface and cannot imagine life without them even if it means less time in the hospital.
Given the way I'm taxed as a married person, you'd think the government would jump at the chance to get more people on the married side of the tax bracket. They obviously need the money.
The supporters of Prop 8 like to say that same gender relationships are a straight shot to purgatory, and they have a right to their opinion. This is my blog*, therefore you get my opinion.
And let me tell you that any god that would persecute someone for loving another just because they have the same genital makeup, isn't the kind of god I intend to have in charge of my after life.
Besides I'm coming back as one of Rachel's dogs. They have it made.
Just say no to Prop 8.
It is not anyone's right to control what other people want to do with their life as long as it does not hurt you. And same gender marriage does not fall into that category.
*and yes I will practice censorship in the comments if necessary

A Whole Other Kind of Fragile
Since Scrat was playing shadow this morning (as in stuck to me like glue) I just glanced into B3 out of habit more than anything. I sure wasn't expecting to see anything (okay other the the huge piles of stuff in there - hush).
However, I ended up doing a double take, because our little girl kitty, Kaji, decided to stake out a spot in an empty box marked fragile in the staging area for all the stuff we brought back from Arizona.
On the unusual side was that she stayed in it long enough for me to get a picture, even if she wasn't too thrilled with that.
Saturday, November 1, 2008
It's November
Okay hush you smart aleck in the back, I know 12:00 am this morning. :-P
It's been a rough month and a half, with hubby's mom passing away, taking care of all of that. Work has been way more stressful lately. Then you take into account my latest hearing results and I just want to crawl into a really dark hole with all my knitting (and a small light) and not come out till the world decides to do thing my way.
While I'm dreaming I'd still like a Black Arabian horsey and a 1976 Volkswagen beetle convertible.
There has been knitting. I'm trying to finish a scarf for a friend that just had the same throat surgery as me. Socks for three different people. A sweater for hubby. I have a few hats I want to make as Christmas presents, but we will see how that works out.
I hope to start posting pictures here again soon. It's certainly not for a lack of any, just haven't done it.
Till next time.
Oh, I finally got in contact with my sister Chris again after way too long. Say hi since she might stop by the blog for a gander.

Ipad 2 – Nobody Cares
Photo by G. Art by TMNK.
I just got an iPhone and while the touch pad keyboard makes me not want to ever text again (read: thank you Jesus), I think it's an amazing invention as it takes the cell phone user experience to a whole new level. I am not really sure what all the hype over an iPad is. It's just a larger iPhone but doesn't make phone calls. Have you ever seen someone try and take a picture with that monstrosity? It's hilarious!
Do you care? NOBODY cares!

Michael James Entertainment
Michael Karran loves to entertain. He discovered his knack for getting the party started 7 years ago while putting on fun events for the community. He decided to follow his gut and start his own DJ company in 2008. Along with daughter Brianna, Michael James Entertainment has provided tunes for more than 100 events, with half of them being weddings.
Their wedding rate is $450 for the first 4 hours and $50/hr after that. This rate is applicable for weddings held in Metro Vancouver from West Vancouver to the Misson and Abbotsford area. A travel fee will apply for weddings at a greater distance. To help bring out the party atmosphere, they provide various lights such as 2 dual gem LED lights in green, red and blue (with a strobe function), a white rotating LED light, and a newly purchased laser light in blue and red. They'll even bust out their fog machine to add an air of mystery on the dance floor! Michael says he and Brianna have a lot of singing experience and have performed in front of audiences hundreds of times in the last 10 years. Who knows, maybe they'll have a surprise performance at your wedding? A little something different for you and your guests
Michael and Brianna would love to meet you and discuss your party plans. If you're interested in finding out more about them, visit their website and be a fan of their Facebook page.
Updated March 20, 2014 - Check out their new promo video by Capture the Moment Media
A Few Words With Michael…
What do you have to offer for brides with lower budgets?
"We just have the one price as stated above, a very good value for what you're getting. Remember, we provide the most popular genres of music, awesome sound quality, and just create a fun evening where we try to get as many people as we can to dance, sing, clap their hands, hence our singing, stage, and entertaining expertise, we're very good at creating an awesome evening!"
What sets you apart from others in the same field?
"The same as to what I stated above, we provide great variety of music, use a top quality sound system, and with our expertise in entertaining, we know exactly what to do to get the crowd involved, we're proud to say we do an awesome job! And let me add one more thing, our personalities, we're very friendly and approachable, whatever your need is, you'll feel comfortable in talking with us."
What do you enjoy most about your job?
"Pretty well everything, meeting new people, playing a variety of music, taking requests, just being a part of their special day does mean a lot to us, just knowing that they chose us to be in charge of their music for the day, is really appreciated. We truly have fun at what we do."
What's the best way to liven up a crowd? Which songs usually get the guests up and dancing?
"Actually every crowd is different, but there are a few songs that always get them going, and I play them at every gig, most of the time getting an awesome response. And combined with our singing and stage experience, we usually get quite a few people up on the dance floor during the course of the evening. But do remember, every group is different, but overall the evening goes over fabulous."
Hiring a DJ can be considered a luxury, especially for brides on a budget. Why do you think budget brides should book a DJ anyway?
"It's nice to know that the music part of your evening is covered, you have no worries. And this is VERY important, I believe the 2 most important parts of your reception, is the dinner and the music. Of course you want very good food, and it's no different about the music. You want to hire a proven, well respected dj, with good testimonials, they do tell a fair bit about that person you're going to hire. This is important as well, in the beginning stages of contact with your potential dj, make sure you call him, or he calls you. I'm sure you've experienced this before where you've had a conversation with somebody you don't really know, and can already tell a fair bit about that person, that alone could be your deciding factor! And one more thing to keep in mind, there is a fair bit more to dj'ing, than just playing music, anyone can do that. It's the personalities, their choice of music they play, when to play the right song, and when not to. Also reading a crowd is very important, to see what they like and what they do not like. Plus, with the lights we bring to every show, we create a very nice ambience, very well received! Again, as I mentioned above, everyone can have the same music, but it's what else you do that makes the evening a little different and special."
If you had one piece of advice for a bride and groom, what would it be?
"I would say, do make sure you do your homework in picking the right dj for your event. Some of the important factors to consider would be personality, variety of songs, quality of system, etc. But one of the most important things you could do, there is 2 of them really. One of them is to read their TESTIMONIALS, that will tell you a lot, so important! And secondly, call them, you can only tell so much in an e-mail, serious, talk over the phone with them, a good 5-10 minutes, maybe even more, and you'll get a really good feel for the type of person they are. Can't stress it enough, good luck in your search, all the best!"

Download Grand Theft Auto IV
Over the last couple of years Grand Theft Auto IV has established itself as one of the best Grand Theft Auto games around. The game is known for a good character driven plot, well designed city, amazing multiplayer mode, humor, great character portrayal and some notable add-ons for the PC gamers. The game is set in Liberty city where the gamer would don the role of an illegal immigrant named Niko Bellic.
For those who are new to the Grand Theft Auto franchise, the game is about splurging cash, stealing cars, dishing out death to cops and routing local gangs. The PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV includes video editor and customizable radio station. It would allow you to hook up with 32 other gamers. The game even allows you to save your progress in the single-player mode by logging in through your Windows Live ID. In Grand Theft Auto IV, the gamer would have to start the initial game as a hired gun.
Grand Theft Auto IV is a different game altogether. You get to choose whether or not you wish to do something. These decisions in turn set the pace of the game. With a gameplay length of about 30 hours, Grand Theft Auto IV is a tad longer than most such games available these days. As you proceed with the game, you would find the protagonist to be swift at what he does. This is what keeps the plot interesting and is all the reason for gamers to vouch for it. In short, it is worth having a go at.
