The world has lost too many people this year, from all walks of life. Musicians, including Glen Campbell, Greg Allman, and Tom Petty. Actors and public figures like Erin Moran, Adam West, Sir Roger Moore and Chuck Berris. And sadly, those who perished in the wakes of Hurricanes Maria, Irma, and Harvey. We are also saddened by the tragic loss of life in the Massacre in Las Vegas and the fires in California. As well as other tragedies and senseless acts that have caused loss of life both Nationally and Internationally. Lastly, we pray for those who served and continue to serve our country here and abroad. We thank you for your service. And we thank first responders who risk their lives daily to protect ours.
We honor those we lost in 2017.

Apple has released updates to its QuickTime media player to fix eight security vulnerabilities.The California-based company rated the flaws as serious, since they affect both Macs and Windows computers. The vulnerability could be exploited by a hacker to create a malicious file, which could cause the machine to be compromised, Apple said in a security announcement.
Users of QuickTime 7 are advised to upgrade to QuickTime 7.1.5, which delivers numerous bug fixes and addresses critical security issues, Apple said in an alert.
In January, a bug was detected in the media player software by researchers as part of the Month of Apple Bugs project. The vulnerability affected the way the feature ran Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP), which could be used by a malicious user to compromise the user's computer.

"Ryan needs to attend Charm school. I asked him a question and he told me "all questions need to be brought up with his manager." Then walked away. Ok?! Who is his manager? Really? He's the commissioner for my district. I'm sorry I voted for him."Has anyone else received a similar response? I remember when former District #4 Commissioner Suzanne Mulvehill attended a neighborhood meeting. In response to a problem property with code issues in her district, she responded that she represented the whole city, not just her district, as an excuse why she couldn't address the problem. His response falls roughly in the same category—not my problem.
We have always suspected that Commissioner Maier follows "Orders from Headquarters." This seems to be confirmation. So who is this manager? Are we watching a puppet show when he speaks?

Time to catch up with some general Flying Fifteen matters! Roger sent me the results of the Fairweather Series a few weeks ago: –
Apologies for keeping you all waiting. We will award some prizes for this at the fleet AGM which I think is due during December. I'll try to set a date for this shortly.
Roger has also updated the fleet trophy list: –Trophies 2018.2019 Sep
The water level seems to have been fairly steady over the last couple of weeks so with the repositioned pontoon there should be no excuses for not attending Sunday racing. If you have not seen the instructions from Mervyn please let me know.
See you on the water soon.

Post exposure prophylaxis uptake against exposure to HIV/AIDS risk factors in healthcare settings was very low
AbstractOn the already limited human resource capacity in health care workforce, HIV is also causing loss of health professionals. Africa, in particular, faces the loss of vast numbers of educated health care workers. Given the pivotal role of frontline health care workers in resource constrained countries, the potential loss of this number of health care workers each year is a serious problem that needs urgent attention The aim of this study was to evaluate post-exposure prophylaxis utilization against exposure to HIV/AIDS risk factors among health care workers in Gondar city, Northwest Ethiopia. Institution based quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted from May 5-26, 2014 in one referral hospital and three health centres in Gondar city. A total of 162 health care workers having history of occupational exposure to HIV/AIDS risk factors within the last one year were selected through simple random sampling method. Data collected by interviewing health care workers were entered using EPI INFO version 3.5.3 statistical software and exported to and analyzed using SPSS version 20.0. From a total of 162 health care workers having occupational exposure to HIV/AIDS risk factors, only 41 (25.3%) received post exposure prophylaxis. Gender, reporting occupational exposure and drinking alcohol were significant factors associated with post exposure prophylaxis uptake by health care workers against accidental occupational exposure to HIV/AIDS risk factors. The great majority of health care workers fail to utilize HIV post exposure prophylaxis following accidental exposure to HIV/AIDS risk factors, which leads to a high occupational risk of HIV/AIDS infection. Thus, there is a need for provision of training on infection prevention and development of guidelines outlining reporting mechanism and procedure to be followed for post exposure prophylaxis and follow-up testing.

Barbara Karst Bougainvillea*
Bougainvillea 'Barbara Karst'
Barbara Karst Bougainvillea flowers
(Photo courtesy of NetPS Plant Finder)
* This is a "special order" plant - contact store for details
Height: 10 feet
Spread: 24 inches
Hardiness Zone: 8b
Features & Attributes
Barbara Karst Bougainvillea is covered in stunning fuchsia round flowers held atop the branches from late spring to mid fall. Its glossy pointy leaves remain dark green in colour throughout the year.
This is a multi-stemmed evergreen houseplant with a spreading, ground-hugging habit of growth. This plant can be pruned at any time to keep it looking its best.
Planting & Growing
When grown indoors, Barbara Karst Bougainvillea can be expected to grow to be about 10 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 24 inches. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 20 years. This houseplant requires direct sun for optimal performance, and should therefore be situated in a room that gets bright sunlight for a good part of the day; it is not a good choice for rooms lit only by artificial light. It prefers dry to average moisture levels with very well-drained soil, and may die if left in standing water for any length of time. This plant should be watered when the surface of the soil gets dry, and will need watering approximately once each week. Be aware that your particular watering schedule may vary depending on its location in the room, the pot size, plant size and other conditions; if in doubt, ask one of our experts in the store for advice. It is not particular as to soil type or pH; an average potting soil should work just fine.
There are many factors that will affect the ultimate height, spread and overall performance of a plant when grown indoors; among them, the size of the pot it's growing in, the amount of light it receives, watering frequency, the pruning regimen and repotting schedule.

Sun Salutations, a yogic technique that is made up of a series of postures, are one of the best ways to sharpen your mind while strengthening and stretching your entire body. For beginners, this is your starting point! Build strength in this sequence to make sure your future yoga workouts are a lot easier.
Energizing, calming and relaxing, Sun Salutations can be used as a warm-up or as a complete cardio exercise. Strengthen your arms, shoulders and legs while stretching every part of your body.
Begin in Tall Mountain Pose (standing at the front of your mat, feet together, legs active and arms by your sides).
Although tempting, do not overextend your left leg when lifting back behind you. Remember, it takes time and regular practice to find flexibility in this particular pose! Always listen to your body and do what feels comfortable.
If your palms don't reach your mat, don't worry! Simply place them on yoga blocks in front of you, or place them on your shins/thighs, to ensure that you are still able to straighten your spine.

FOX Servicing
These days local bike shops can replace seals on FOX shocks & forks but that's it. Anything else needs to be done by the importer Sola Sports.
A couple of weeks ago I was at my local bike shop, Velocipede at Parramatta, and told them my shock needed to go to Sola and asked what the quickest turnaround would be as I've heard nightmare stories of delays and every day my shock is away is a day I can't ride...
Fox CTD issues
Had a recurring issue with my Fox CTD forks on my 2014 Trance 2 and was interested to know if anyone has experienced the same problems.
From what I gather and I'm pretty sure this was the case when the bike was new but the CTD position should sit at about 5, 3 and 1 o'clock respectively for the climb trail and descend position (as you look down on the fork from the seating position).
Advice for new XC forks
I am new to the site, new to Perth in fact and have just decided to get back into some mountain biking after being out of it for a year or so. I have just put a Giant Talon 4 on lay away. Unfortunately these only come with some Santour XCT forks and I am hoping to get myself some new ones to put on when I pick up my bike in the next few weeks!
Fox FIT cartridge marks
I pulled apart my Fox 36 TALAS RC2 forks tonight to replace the semi bath oil in the lowers.
I found the below markings on the black section of the FIT cartridge. Is this wear or is this just nothing? I'm assuming it is not wear as the diameter of the black section is a lot smaller than on the silver FIT cartridge so shouldn't rub on anything.
Any ideas? Any need to be concerned? Thanks
Worrying sounds
I was recently riding at Manly Dam and heard a worrying creaking/clisking noise coming from what seems to be the suspension. (maybe it's the headset?) I've heard the sound before and never payed too much attention to it. Its gotten worse (every bump i hear the noise) and i am a little at loss at what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx
MTB Forks - What to get and where to buy
I've ruined the forks on my Specialised Enduro through too much mud, and too little maintenace/servicing.
Any ideas where I should look to buy some new ones? New or secondhand.
I'm looking for something around 140mm to 150mm, without through axles (i.e the older dropout style).
Leaky New Forks - Please Help.
Just got a great deal on some Rockshox Revelation 426 forks from the US and received them today. Unfortunately, the box and it's contents were soaked in oil. I expected a little bit of oil to seep out of the seals in transit, but it is everywhere. Is this normal for a set of forks posted OS? Could the aircraft's air-pressure have affected the fork seals?
Leaky forks ?
Hi guys
A friend of mine has been on holiday for a couple of weeks and has come back to find a couple of drops of oil on the bottom of the right fork leg, where the rebound adjuster is . He has a rock shox Tora fork. His bike was stored right side up, on its two wheels .... (I've had some issues when my bike was inadvertantly stored upright and got some leakage from the o-ring at the stanchion...coming back on the train from the gong ride.
Apparently its only one or two drops.
Any thoughts from the highly tech literate crew out there ?
Fork Boots
A friend of mine keeps going on and on and on and on, etc; about how I should install fork boots to protect my forks from accelerated wear and tear because of dirt getting into the fork seals. He reckons it's now not fashionable to use them but very sensible to get the maximum life out of your forks.
Any opinions on using these and can you still buy them?
Fox Talas stuck at max travel
My Fox Talas are supposed to have or at least it did have 3 travel settings but today its stuck on max travel, anyone had this before or know how to fix it as store I bought it from will send away to be repaired and they're not sure how long this will take and I'd prefer not to send it if there's an easy fix.

The Russian Empire was among the most mysterious of the world's great powers, profoundly torn between a rural population living almost medieval lives and industrial and social change in the cities. The tsar's gigantic realm struggled with the advent of modernity and with its own internal contradictions between Asia and Europe, faith and science, different ethnic groups, and the divergent interests of the aristocracy, the middle classes, the urban workers, and the rural poor: a continent of contradictions from abject poverty to fairy-tale wealth captured by authors from Tolstoy to Chekhov, from Gogol to Gorky.
Twilight of the Romanovs opens a door into the world of pre-revolutionary Russia using original photographs taken during the last decades of Romanov rule. They include remarkable color images created using an early three-color-plate technique that brings the remote past to life. Our companions on this journey include the Scottish photographer William Carrick, Americans George Kennan and Murray Howe, the German-Russian Carl Bulla, Sergey Produkin-Gorsky, and the writers Leonid Andreyev and Anton Chekhov, together with many anonymous others.
These photographs are snapshots of a vanished world, yet they reveal a surprising continuity: despite the subsequent revolution, faces, buildings, and landscapes still resonate with those who see them a century and more later.
The color imagery is …haunting … cold stares coupled with bright clothes, and breathtaking landscapes …these are photographs that have not been highlighted in the eye of the public.

Jason's Grandpa and Betty were there when we got there, and unfortunately Betty had just taken a fall...they headed off the the ER, I hope she didn't break anything. Xander was a big help during the crisis...and so very concerned.
The bounce house rental company called me as I was on the way to Grandma's and asked if they could deliver it today at 4pm instead of tomorrow at 11...they also let me know that they would be at least an hour late picking it up tomorrow. Darn it LOL.Huff and puff. It was hot today...I really hope it doesn't quite hit the 97 tomorrow.
One of the things the kids were looking forward to the most LOL...The Poop Deck sign to the bathroom.
A little lesson from Grandma on how to pick sweet snap peas...these are not usually a fave of mine, but hers are fabulous.Most of the tables and chairs got set up.
I didn't really want them swimming today, didn't bring their suits on purpose...but they ended up in the pool anyway. It was a good thing too, all of a sudden Xander is trusting his puddle jumper and trying to swim....and even Hayden left the stairs and walked around the shallow end. My BABIES can touch in the shallow end now...what?!
Miss Haddie was quite proud of herself! Xan was too...I am guessing swimming lessons may not have to wait until 8 after all :)Lily Bug is of course still our little fish.
More decorations...I am so glad we got all this crap set up today.
Tonight we tackle a watermelon ship fruit bowl and mini meatballs...hopefully we are in bed before 2am.

The Medicare Levy Surcharge was introduced by the Federal Government to encourage individuals to take out private health insurance, and to reduce the load on the public hospital system. The surcharge is applied to higher income earners that don't have a private health insurance policy.
The income threshold where the Medicare Levy Surcharge kicks in is over $90,000 for singles and over $180,000 for families. For families with children, the threshold increases by $1,500 for each child after the first. This surcharge is in addition to the standard 2.00% Medicare Levy paid by most Australian taxpayers.
All Queensland Country Health Fund hospital covers exempt you from the additional surcharge, meaning you'll pay less tax.
The below table outlines the thresholds and applicable Medicare Levy Surcharges.
|Less than $90,000
|$90,001 - $105,000
|$105,001 - $140,000
|$140,001 or more
|Less than $180,000
|$180,001 - $210,000
|$210,001 - $280,000
|$280,001 or more
|All ages
More information about the Medicare Levy Surcharge can be found by visiting the Australian Taxation Office's website, or by calling the ATO Helpline on 13 28 62.
For information on the income, including the calculation for this income known as income for Medicare Levy Surcharge purposes, please seek the advice of your tax agent, financial advisor or the Australian Tax Office.

Scripture reading for today:
Finding Hope
"Surely God is my salvation;
I will trust and not be afraid.
The Lord, the Lord himself,
is my strength and my defence;
he has become my salvation."
With joy you will draw water
from the wells of salvation." (Isaiah 12:2-6)
"The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news." (Mark 1:15)
I hear truth in much of today's reading, yet, if I am honest with myself, I doubt the words "I will trust and not be afraid." I walk my neighbourhood and meet with my neighbours and am fully aware that there a lot of things going on in this world, my neighbours are experiencing the loss of jobs, ageing parents with dementia, are refugees trying to discover home, those beat up by the systems of power, poverty and pain – just to mention a few. In such bleak circumstances, I hear these words "God is my salvation, trust, and do not be afraid," and realize I am living in a forest of entangled emotions.
The season of Advent is a space given to us to discover hope again, but how? How do I hope when so much seems so broken?The season of Advent is a space given to us to discover hope again, but how? How do I hope when so much seems so broken? Click To Tweet
At the time of Jesus, Jews believed that a Messiah would come to usher in the Kingdom. To make the wrongs right, and free them from the hands of the oppressor. And they believed that this would happen at the end of the age. What Jesus is announcing throughout Mark's gospel is that the Kingdom is being revealed now and that it is near, at hand, before the end of the age.
Like then, the kingdoms of this world are seemingly an impenetrable system of strong, rich, winner, attractive, talented. And it is demanding our allegiance.
Allegiance to bigger and better experiences.
Allegiance to a financial system, where I will have enough to consume what I want.
Allegiance to a worthiness-based-system of doing enough so you will be noticed.
Allegiance to the system of busy, where your worth is tied to what and how much you accomplish.
The kingdom of this world wages an endless campaign for our loyalty.
Luring us in with false promises.
Jesus ushers in a different Kingdom. One ruled by the crucified one – populated by the unclean, found in the unexpected and suffused with mercy rather than power. And when you see it something is made new. Perhaps a part of the world, perhaps a part of yourself. Something is made new when the empty promises of the world give way to the whimsy, and the true and the eternal in the world according to God.
When the light is dim, God is who I trust and He is where my hope is found. It is in Him that I take refuge. That however dark things get in this world we have a hope in a God that has the power and love to make all things new.

News Corp. in talks to acquire nets
News Corp. is making a run at taking full ownership of Outdoor Life Network and Speedvision Network, The Wall Street Journal reports.
News Corp. is talking to Cox Communications, Comcast Corp., AT&T Corp. and founder/CEO Roger Werner about buying out their respective stakes in the two cable networks. News Corp. currently owns a one-third stake in Outdoor Life and Speedvision, which it estimates are worth about $1 billion. Cox reportedly puts the figure at $1.5 billion. Comcast isn't eager to sell.
Majority ownership of Speedvision would fit News Corp.'s strategy on the broadcast side, with a long-term dfeal to carry Nascar races a major piece of its sports programming strategy.

OK, I think C. finally gets it now. He's seen with his own two eyes that there's a living being in my belly, with a head, a spine, a tiny beating heart, and moving arms and legs. The ultrasound is one of the coolest pregnancy experiences so far. It's like your own private baby cam! We saw the feet, the fingers, and the leg and arm bones, glowing white against the black background. We could make out the profile – oh, boy, it's looking like it's got C.'s nose already, and is that an overbite? – and see the baby crossing its legs and sucking its thumb. Amazing.
The nurse doing the sonogram was, inexplicably, not quite as enthusiastic as we were. Can you imagine? But she obliged when we told her we didn't want to find out the baby's sex. "OK, I'm going down there, look away," she'd say, and we'd dutifully shield our eyes.
I was surprised to learn that we are in the minority among our pregnant pals when it comes to not wanting to know whether we're having a boy or a girl. I thought most people wanted to be surprised. Instead, it seems most want to spare themselves the hassle of picking out two names and buying only gender-neutral baby items.
One of our friends claimed they didn't want to find out – only to admit that they'd caved under pressure when they were in the midst of the sonogram. "It's too hard not to find out when the nurse is right there and you know she knows," they explained. Not only are they having a girl, but they stole our top girl's name to boot! I suppose they have dibs because it's a family name and they're giving birth a month before us, but still. It hurts.
I've been carrying around the ultrasound pictures for days, showing them to anyone who will look. It's both fascinating and freaky at the same time. It's also probably the last time I'm going to see my baby before he/she is born. Will I recognize her? Will his overbite correct itself? Will anyone else steal our baby names? I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Week 18: Is That a Foot?

Week 17: Jump on the Baby Bandwagon
Once I became pregnant I started noticing pregnant women everywhere – at the grocery store, at the airport, at the mall. Were they there all along and I just never paid attention? In addition to the profusion of pregnant strangers, I also suddenly have a whole bunch of friends and acquaintances who are expecting. It's like one started the trend, and then the rest jumped on the baby bandwagon.
First to announce the news was my friend T., pregnant with her second child, and just one week ahead of me. Then there's J.G., due a month before me, and J.P., due two weeks after me. Pregnancy pals, how fun!
At a recent party, the conversation focused on J.G.'s newly visible bump and the search for cute maternity clothes. J.P. mixed up special non-alcoholic cocktails so we could at least pretend we were drinking champagne. And A., recently married and trying to get pregnant, listed with rapt attention as we recounted every last symptom and swelling. It's nice to have a captive audience. Husbands and non-moms have a low threshold for that kind of talk.
It is nice to feel like you have companions as you progress through your pregnancy. The veterans are a little more laid-back, a lot more focused on what comes after the birth than the stuff leading up to it. That's normal, I guess. Talking about the "terrible twos" beats gruesome birth stories any day. (Which many women are all too happy to share with you, whether they're invited to or not.)
But I especially like chatting with the rookie moms-to-be like me. "Is your belly button sticking out yet?" we'll ask each other. "What's all this talk about food cravings? I haven't had any, have you?" It's uncharted territory for us, and endlessly fascinating. It's heartening to hear that someone else is having similar experiences, and it's also interesting to hear how pregnancy is different from person to person. (Thank god I didn't have much morning sickness! How weird that no one else is constipated.)
This week, I think I felt the baby move for the first time. I say "I think" because most books will tell you that you won't feel any "quickening," as they call it, until at least week 20. But I keep feeling a sort of bumping, bubbly feeling in my lower abdomen. I suppose it could be gas, but it feels … different, somehow. J.G. says people described it to her as butterflies in your stomach, but she likens it more to a bug crawling around inside you. "It's kind of gross," she admits.
It is sort of weird to feel the first stirrings of what seems to be an alien life form growing inside of you. But also reassuring, in a way. I'm finally starting to believe there's a real baby in there! Now if only my husband would start getting a clue … I'm still waiting for the foot massages and breakfast in bed.

Week 16: Dumb Stuff I Never Used to Care About
There's a long list of topics I can honestly say never crossed my mind for a good 90% of my life. Yet many of these things have suddenly become massively important to me as an adult. For instance, I never thought I'd ever give a hoot about escrow or equity, nor did I ever imagine I'd concern myself with crown molding, fiber, gas mileage, or furniture shopping. However, I currently expend all sorts of mental energy on these issues, especially the last.
I've become preoccupied – no, obsessed – with finding the perfect upholstered rocking chair for the baby's room. This room, mind you, is at the moment a rather cluttered home office. We're leaving the light green wall color intact because we can't be bothered to repaint. I may get some new curtains or I may not. I haven't done a lick of research on cribs or changing tables. For whatever reason, I'm focused solely on this particular item, which in many people's opinions (and they're probably right) is an entirely optional addition to a nursery.
In a dream (or perhaps a Pottery Barn Kids catalog) I saw my ideal rocker – it was big but not bulky, cushy, comfortable, and best of all, covered in the cutest oversize green-and-white gingham fabric you've ever seen. I envisioned myself nestled in the cozy confines of the chair, nursing my newborn babe, rocking him/her to sleep, perhaps even humming a soothing lullaby. I pinned my maternal hopes and dreams to that checked chair. Now, if only I could find it.
I scoured the Internet for hours on end and came up blank. I drove miles out of my way to visit baby furnishings superstores. I asked friends and colleagues if they'd seen my elusive chair anywhere. Then, while visiting friends out of state, I saw it. Right there in their pastel-decorated nursery was a green-and-white checked rocker – with a matching ottoman! And matching valances on the windows! I sank into the chair and it glided back and forth as if floating on a cloud. Heaven.
But here's the thing: these friends of ours are loaded. We're Target, they're Neiman Marcus. We're pizza, they're bruschetta. We're 3 bedrooms, 2 ½ baths, they're 7 (!) bedrooms and 7 (!) baths. Turns out, the rocking chair came from an exclusive, local custom furnishings shop. I wasn't rude enough to ask the price (I wish I had been), but it's probably a safe bet that it was out of our price range.
A few days later, a sheer stroke of luck landed me on a web site that offered a nearly identical chair. And to my surprise, it wouldn't even require taking out a second mortgage. In fact, the only problem was that I couldn't test out the chair before I bought it since the seller was an Internet-only retailer. I mean, what kind of idiot buys a several-hundred-dollar chair without sitting in it first? Well, um, actually … But I didn't buy it just yet.
First, I stalked their customer service people. I felt like I was calling a phone-sex hotline as I asked them to describe, in intimate detail, what it felt like to sit in this chair. "It's very comfortable. And roomy. I can tuck my legs up under me and still have room on each side," they'd purr. "I fall asleep almost every time I sit in it." "Uh, huh, go on," I'd say, salivating. They sent me swatches. I caressed my cheek with the perfect pale green and white cotton, visions of nursery rhymes dancing in my head.
So did I go ahead and order the chair and get on with my life? No. Why? Because at heart, I'm a practical person. You might even say frugal. The extra shipping and handling fees irked me, but mostly it was the no-return policy that made me uneasy. What if I ordered the thing and it was as comfortable as sitting on a bag of wet sand? What if the customer service ladies had tricked me with their dulcet descriptions? My life ground to a halt for several days while I debated what to do.
It occurred to me that two years before, I'd been gripped by the same dementia over which wedding cake to get. The $600 vision of loveliness with the satiny, two-inch-thick buttercream icing and three different-flavored tiers? Or the $300 homemade vanilla one iced with a half-inch of sugar and shortening? I ended up choosing the latter, and I'm guessing no one but me noticed or cared. The thing about the chair is, instead of being devoured and forgotten in 20 minutes, it will be a fixture in our house for probably the next 20 years. We will sit in it, sleep or not sleep in it, every day for the next several years.
In the end, I just couldn't take the chance. I settled on a homely, albeit comfortable, glider/recliner from JC Penney that was 30% off. Sure, I sprung for a nice sage green fabric for an extra $50, but it's no green-and-white gingham. Sure, it swivels and reclines, unlike the chair on the web site, but there's no cute matching ottoman. Sure, I can sit in it and sing lullabies to my baby, but it's more like the type of chair a guy named Norm would sit in to drink beer and watch the playoffs.
But, like the wedding cake, I realize a chair is not the most important thing in the world. I'm going to be a parent soon. And parents are practical, right? I just hope our child never comes across a Pottery Barn Kids catalog. All that pastel and gingham would just break her heart.

Week 15: Pregnancy for Dummies
The other day I was having lunch with a couple of friends with small children. The littlest people in our party turned out to have a big impact on the day's plans. First of all, lunch was delayed 45 minutes because 10-month-old Ava had napped longer than usual. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal, except there were two pregnant women in our party, including me. So we were ravenous by the time the others showed up. I was drooling enviously at 18-month-old Addie's Tupperware container of Cheerios, which she was gummily snacking on in her stroller.
Then we had to find a restaurant that appealed to 3 ½-year-old Olivia, whose current diet consists solely of chicken fingers and pizza. When we finally found a place, there was a minor situation when it turned out they didn't allow strollers in the dining room. But high chairs were procured, strollers were stowed, and we were finally shown to our table.
When our meals arrived, I had heartily tucked into my tacos when I noticed that neither of my mom-friends had taken so much as a bite. They were busy laying out disposable plastic placemats, fastening bibs, retrieving sippy cups from the floor, and cutting up chicken into bite-sized chunks. The one poor mom with two kids said, "It's always like this when we go to a restaurant. I never get to eat." No wonder she'd lost all the baby weight already.
Sitting there, I was in awe of these women. How did they know how to do all this stuff? How did they know that the baby was grunting for her milk and not more chicken? How did they know to pack placemats and individually wrapped snacks? I know it sounds stupid. I guess they just figured it out along the way. And I'm sure I will. But at that moment, it was like I was an interloper in some mystical world of mommies – a world that I'm going to become a part of in a little over six months.
Of course, before I even get to the Cheerios and Pampers, there's that little thing called labor and delivery. And I admit, I'm ignorant about that part. I mean, obviously, I know the basics. But when my mom-friends start going on about Braxton-Hicks contractions, mucous plugs, back labor, and episiotomies, I draw a blank.
One friend, after taking in my blank stare, suggested, "You might want to get a book or something." I have books. I have a whole library! I just haven't quite gotten to those chapters yet. I've purposely been holding off because I don't want to scare myself. I don't really need to know all the gory details, do I? I figure I'm better off being in the dark about some of that stuff.
On another note: I noticed for the first time this morning that my stomach now sticks out even when I'm lying on my back in bed. There's a little, unmistakable bulge around my belly button. There's really a baby in there! I swear, I'm not stupid, I'm just a slow – and sometimes reluctant, at least when it comes to gross medical stuff – learner.

Week 14: The Name Game
One of the most fun parts about being pregnant is coming up with baby names. I can spend hours on the subject with my friends, debating the benefits of "Emily" versus "Emma" or "Carter" versus "Connor." For a guaranteed laugh, flip through the baby name books for the outlandish entries like Caradoc and Sachaverell.
And there's all sorts of fascinating trivia related to names. For instance, it may interest some people to know that my mother visited cemeteries for ideas of what to christen her children. Sounds morbid, but she wanted traditional New England names, so where better to look than the final resting place of a bunch of old Yankees? And, while Abigail wasn't even in the top 25 in 1974 when I was born, it now ranks among the top 5 most popular names for girls. Who knew?
Unfortunately, the one person who doesn't find endless enjoyment in the name game happens to be the only other person whose opinion really matters – my husband. He's a bit of a procrastinator, so it's no real surprise that he's not itching to get started on a task that, technically, could wait another six months. Still, his reluctance to participate is annoying.
It usually works like this: I'll suggest names I like, and he wrinkles his nose in disgust, repeating the name with the most unflattering pronunciation possible. "Cuh-LAIR? Are you kidding? Claire's a fat girl's name." (Turns out he was quoting from "The Breakfast Club," frequent movie quotations being another annoying husbandly habit.) Sometimes, if I wear him down enough, he'll toss out a couple suggestions of his own – Seamus? Deirdre? Franz? – which I inevitably hate. I'm not even sure if he's serious half the time.
It doesn't help that his last name is a big part of the problem when it comes to selecting the right name. It just doesn't sound right with a lot of names. Since it starts with "F," forget Phoebe or Finn or anything else starting with F. The kid would spray spit everytime he said his name. In fact, anything with a "v" sound in it is pretty much out, too. Then there's the issue of mixing nationalities. C. has a very Irish surname. It sounds good with nice Irish names like Colleen and Danny. But tack on Greta or Irina and you've got a cultural mishmash on your hands. Might as well name a kid Boris Garcia or Keiko Schwarzkopf.
Thinking it might be fun to research ancestral names, I browsed the family history my grandfather put together years ago. He traced relatives back to the 1800s and mapped out our whole family tree. Turns out, lots of folks hailed from the South – hence the predominance of Ida Maes and Earlenes. To be honest, there were only a handful of palatable choices in the whole bunch. (I thought Gracie Lee was kind of cute. C. refused to even consider Daisy or Jasper.) I know old-fashioned names are back in style, but there's no way I'm naming my child Edna Maude, family name or not.
Speaking of family, ours was only too happy to jump in with suggestions – especially what names NOT to pick. My mom started out by saying, "Whatever you choose will be wonderful" before adding, "I just hope you don't name the baby George. There are way too many Georges in the family already." Then she went on to disparage the perfectly acceptable name Noah before suggesting – with a straight face – we might name our son Deke. DEKE!!
The problem with opening up the whole name issue to other people is that they feel free to tell you every bad association they have with every name imaginable. One person knew a bratty kid in school named Kyle. Another hated an aunt named Eileen. Yet another has heard of more than one pedophile named William. And once you've heard these stories, you, too, will forever make that same association with the name.
The other snag we're running into is that all the names we like are already taken. If not by someone else's child, then by someone's pet. I kid you not. I really liked the names Sadie and Alexis until I discovered those are the given names of a relative's dogs. Big deal, you may be saying. But do you want your child to be humiliated at the family reunion when someone shouts, "Sadie! Did you make this puddle on the floor?"
If C. and I ever do manage to agree on a name that's not already taken by someone's pet ferret, that's not associated with a hated teacher or convicted felon, that sounds good with his last name, that has the right number of syllables and the correct cultural connotation, I'll let you know. At this point, it's looking like the child's going to be named "Baby X." Though that could cause some problems for him or her at job interviews someday…

What would be your deciding factors in order to make the decision to have boudoir photos done for your loved one? Or, just for yourself?
If I was having pictures done it would be for me alone - probably at a milestone birthday or losing weight etc
Been there already done that lol, these are the only ones that I can share hehehe! But I did it for my hubby.
Thaaaaaaaaank you UKGirl. My hubby loved the photo's too!
Thanks Jenz, and here is the one my daughter did of herself isn't it just beautiful?
Time and money mostly. And the right photographer... One who understood how my double chin only shows in pictures. And has the ability to make it go away.......
Same here.. Time and money and the right photographer..
Neicy, those are some beautiful pictures..
Wow Neicy! She musy be really good at that because those are VERY hard to do shooting self portrait style. Especially posed. Regular selfs are hard to do even if you just sit. Nice job!
Pretty girl too.
For me, so far anyway, it's either been for practice to keep in mind how clients feel in front of the camera or for a milestone. No dude has really either been in the picture [no pun intended] or deserved them.
I would love to do this for my hub..this year we celebrate our 50th b-days (two weeks apart) and this would be a fabulous gift to him...the photographer would be important as I am a bit shy with sexy pics taken of myself.
Pretty pics of Neicy and her daughter.

The rise of social networks gave us the ability to expand our relational networks to a near-infinite ceiling.
This, of course, has some utility but we know that real life is done in much smaller and more intimate settings.
Groups, naturally, were at the very forefront of our design-thinking when we started putting ideas into code for Yen and creating a robust Group system was an uncompromisable part of our product.
We'll share more about how we want to implement this feature later, but, one of the neat things that we've thought about doing is allowing the user select the groups they want to share their content with, at the time of creation:
Why? Because not all of your groups need to know all of the same pieces of information. Just as you would only share cute (naked) baby pictures with a close group of friends and family you wouldn't do the same with the larger and more general populace.
This, again, follows natural human behavior as we have many different (and lovely) concentric circles of relationships.
In our case, perhaps you only want to share very specific cryptocurrency activities with certain particular groups… or perhaps you want to share your general hypotheses and market reactions to the larger public so that you can engage and learn about other's opinions on the matter.
Who knows?
Here's another design concept that we came up with:
All we want to enable you to do is to match your already normative behavior with a tool that does the same.

By David A. Hopkins, Assistant Professor of Political Science, Boston College
If you're a strong believer in the idea that presidential nominations are determined by the coordination of party elites during the invisible primary period, with the choice of "the Party" merely ratified by the voters once the actual state primaries and caucuses begin, then Mitt Romney's announcement on Friday that he will not seek the 2016 Republican nomination, after a month-long period in which Romney was very obviously measuring support for another bid for the presidency, should be interpreted in the following manner: Romney did in fact run for president in 2016–and he lost badly. His publicly-revealed decision not to embark upon another "presidential campaign" occurred after he in fact actively ran another campaign, dropping out of the race after discovering that he stood almost no chance of winning the nomination, just as he would have if he had placed seventh in the Iowa caucus a year from now.
While I agree that (1) candidates seek elite support because it helps them win votes, and (2) Romney decided to remove himself from consideration after concluding that he wouldn't have as much of that support as he wanted, I still believe that it's useful to continue drawing a distinction between the testing-the-waters phase and the active-campaign phase of the nomination process. In Romney's case, there's plenty of reason to believe that he would judge his chances of winning the nomination in 2016 as significantly greater than zero. Putting aside the fact that most politicians are more likely to overstate than understate their own appeal, Romney would have some evidence on his side for this view. His standing in the national polls is very strong (often placing first by a wide margin in surveys testing the Republican presidential field); he has plenty of money and access to much more; he has a natural advantage in the influential New Hampshire primary; and he already proved the ability to win the nomination in 2012. According to the Washington Post, Romney advisors had collected polling data showing that he indeed retained "broad and deep" support among Republican primary voters, suggesting that he indeed viewed his chances as far from remote. However, whatever probability of success Romney thinks he would have had must be weighed against the cost of failure—and for Romney, more than most potential candidates, that cost would have been high. To lose a third presidential campaign would be something of a humiliation, and to lose in the primaries after having won them last time around would be especially so. If it's an honor just to be nominated…well, he's already had that honor.
So even if Romney thought he had at least a legitimate shot to win, once it became clear to him that most party elites were not spontaneously exploding with joy about the prospects of another campaign, that he would have to really fight hard to hold off Jeb Bush and Scott Walker, and that his chances of victory, even if well above zero, were probably below 50%, the idea of slogging it out on the campaign trail once again probably lost most of its appeal. Whereas another candidate, differently situated, might take similar odds as sufficiently encouraging to jump in the race. Certainly Barack Obama must have concluded that he would likely lose to Hillary Clinton in 2008, but the cost of running anyway and hoping for some lucky breaks (which, in the end, he got) was much lower for a young, first-time candidate taking on the party favorite than it would be for Romney today. Other candidates take the plunge in other years—and no doubt many will in 2016 as well—despite what they themselves must view, and certainly other party elites with whom they converse view, as fairly long odds of success. Once a candidate formally joins the race, however, the calculation changes. If you're already openly running, there's usually no reason not to keep going until your chances of winning truly dwindle to effectively zero. After all, you've already taken the step of publicly presenting yourself to the electorate for their approval, so there's no reason not to try to collect on that risk until it's no longer possible to do so. By bowing out gracefully before he officially jumped in, Romney manages to avoid the danger of being openly rejected by the voters who embraced him in 2012, in exchange for trading his presidential ambitions for the role of an elder statesman in the GOP.

He touched her face gently, in the most obscure way. It was as if he knew this was the last time he would ever kiss her good-bye. She felt a sense of finality to it. A magnet was keeping her with him, but the demands of her job forced her to leave. She felt an unfamiliar emptiness grow in the depths of her gut.
She started the car, wanting more than anything to run back into the house, to collapse in the arms of the man she vowed to love forever. Time was ticking. She backed out of the drive and then watched her house until she could no longer see it.
She drove toward the highway, replaying the softness in his eyes and the gentleness of his fingertips as she pressed forward. Something felt foreign to her, off even. She glanced toward the sky, asking God to protect him, because she was sure something wasn't right.
She couldn't focus on her work. The day drove on slowly, the entire time she was uneasy. She watched her phone closely, just in case she were to get a call. Why she was expecting one was absurd, it was just a strange feeling.
As she drove home that evening, she felt the tears sting her face as her mind raced over the course of their relationship. She realized the fights were pointless, unnecessary even. She knew that she didn't always find the value in him that he deserved. Most of the time she took him for granted, as if he were always going to be there.
She nervously held her breath as she unlocked the door. As soon as she did, the smell hit her. She glanced toward the living room to find him laying still on the couch. She let out a small gasp.
"What's the matter?" He asked.
"I thought you were dead." She replied honestly. He gave her a funny look.
"I'm okay, but you might die after you eat this horrible attempt at meatloaf." He snickered as he walked into the kitchen to grab a plate. She stood there in awe, with tears streaming down her face. She had no idea what had gotten into her, but she was glad it did. She needed that gentle reminder to keep life into perspective. She learned we never know how much time we have, so we need to live it the best way we can, loving as fully as we can.

Breakfast again anyone?!?
After our amazing sushi breakfast at Tsukiji, we ate our second breakfast of the day back at our hotel. We stayed at the Tokyo Hilton and breakfast was included so we decided to check it out. I knew we would be eating a lot on this trip but breakfast usually isn't my meal of choice.
It was a breakfast buffet and although I wasn't hungry, I forced myself to eat some stuff after I saw the spread they had.
One side of the buffet was Japanese style breakfast and one side was American style breakfast!! We could choose from rice, fish, tsukemono, etc. for the Japanese style breakfast.
Japanese people often eat salad as part of breakfast too. Both of my Aunt's whose houses we stayed at served salad at breakfast.
There were plenty fruits and oatmeal too.
There were all sorts of juices, fruit, sliced meat, breads and pastries to choose from. They had fried rice, shumai and miso soup. It was amazing! They even had a made to order omelette bar at one end. Our huge sushi breakfast was just 3 hours prior but I couldn't resist trying this breakfast buffet out. I was definitely excited to take full advantage of it the next morning on an empty stomach!!Explore posts in the same categories: Uncategorized

I wish every morning started like this. Normally when I think of free breakfast at a hotel it is only a continental breakfast or some set menu. This breakfast buffet was an amazing spread. I had such a hard time deciding what to eat because even though I can typically eat a lot, there was just too much good food to choose from! A lot of times at buffets I'll end up going back and getting certain things I really liked. I didn't have enough room in my stomach because there were so many things I wanted to try and they were all so good.
April 23, 2009 at 2:54 pm
Wow, definitely looks like an amazing amount of food. Salad for breakfast sounds so healthy, but I doubt that there was any mayo-laden "ranch" to drench it in.

This looks SO GOOD!
