  • Ce titre est extrait de l'album : Beyoncé
  • Année de sortie : 2013
  • Label : Columbia
[Intro: Beyoncé]
I've been drinking, I've been drinking
I get filthy when that liquor gets into me
I've been thinking, I've been thinking
Why can't I keep my fingers off you, baby?
I want you, na na
Why can't I keep my fingers off you, baby?
I want you, na na

[Verse 1: Beyoncé]
Cigars on ice, cigars on ice
Feeling like an animal with these cameras all in my grill
Flashing lights, flashing lights
You got me faded, faded, faded
Baby, I want you, na na
Can't keep your eyes off my fatty
Daddy, I want you, na na
Drunk in love, I want you

[Hook: Beyoncé]
We walk up in the kitchen saying
"How in hell did this shit happen?"
Oh baby, drunk in love we be all night
Last thing I remember is our
Beautiful bodies grinding off in that club
Drunk in love

[Bridge: Beyoncé]
We be all night, love, love
We be all night, love, love

[Verse 2: Beyoncé]
We be all night, and everything alright
No complaints for my body, so fluorescent under these lights
Boy, I'm drinking, walking in my l'assemblage
I'm grubbing on the rope, grubbing if you scared, call that ribbon
Boy, I'm drinking, get my brain right
I'm on the Cognac, gangster wife
Newer sheets, he'd swear that I like washed rags, he wet up
Boy, I'm drinking, I'm sinking on the mic 'til my boy toys
Then I fill the tub up halfway then riding with my surfboard
Surfboard, surfboard
Graining on that wood, graining, graining on that wood
I'm swerving on that, swerving, swerving on that big body Benz
Serving all this, swerv, surfing all of this good, good

[Verse 3: Jay-Z]
Hold up
That D'USSÉ is the shit if I do say so myself
If I do say so myself, if I do say so myself
Hold up, stumble all in the house tryna backup all that mouth
That you had all in the car, talking 'bout you the baddest bitch thus far
Talking 'bout you be repping that verb, wanna see all that shit I heard
Know I sling Clint Eastwood, hope you can handle this curve
Foreplay in the foyer, fucked up my Warhol
Slid the panties right to the side
Ain't got the time to take draws off, on site
Catch a charge I might, beat the box up like Mike
In '97 I bite, I'm Ike, Turner, turn up
Baby no I don't play, now eat the cake, Annie Mae
Said, "Eat the cake, Annie Mae!"
I'm nice, for y'all to reach these heights we gon' need G3

We sex again in the morning, your breasteses is my breakfast
We going in, we be all night

To me it's feeling like all of my entire life I've been drinking
Boy, I'm Marilyn

DAY EIGHT... Woke up at 6:00am fed the horses. Finished packing everything and saddled everybody up and was on the trail by 8:00am. We took as much weight out of Maggey's pack as possible so she didn't have that much to carry. Right away I noticed she wasn't moving as fast and then when we started going up hill she was stopping and refusing to go. We had to give her a rest every 50 feet or less. We were getting close to the top where the desert area was and she collapsed on the trail right between two rocks, almost held up by her pack saddle. Tony took his horses and tied them up the trail about 30 feet ahead and grabbed his rope. When he got back he started popping her on her rump with his rope while I pulled on the lead rope with my horse. Cahlibur tried pulling as hard as he could but it was hard for him to pull because there was only a small flat place to step before the next step up; but she did not get up. We pulled on her lead rope, lifted up her tail, tried pulling her feet and chest area up, but she didn't even try at all. By this time we were starting to get tired, sweaty, and really worried, so we gave her a rest and took off the rest of the pack saddle and tried again. Still she didn't even try to get up. We lifted her hind quarters far enough off the ground, she only had to hold her legs under her, but she still didn't even try. We were out of options and had only one thing left to do. We got down and laid our hands on her and prayed for God's help, got up and asked her to try again to get up and she did. We took her up the trail to where the other horses were and let her rest while I took Cahlibur's saddle off and put the pack saddle on him for the first time with weight and the second time actually being on him. He did excellent, just stood there while I put the saddle on him, readjusted every strap to fit him and then put the panniers, tied them down and then put on the top pack. Then I took my saddle and put it on Maggey and tied her to Cahlibur. When I started to lead Cahlibur down the trail, Maggey just dropped again, but this time she got up right away. I had to give Cahlibur to Tony and have him pony him and Belle while I led Maggey. We still did the walk a little and rest routine, but that was getting us nowhere fast. Then for no apparent reason, Belle started acting up and after a couple of switchbacks, started bucking every time she moved. I took Cahlibur and wrapped his lead rope around the saddle horn of my saddle on Maggey. That way Tony could take Belle and go up ahead at a faster pace. When I finally caught up to him, he had his horses off trail and was taking off Belle's pack saddle to readjust it, to see if that would stop her bucking. That's when he found out that a buckle had worn a raw spot on her side. We put the saddle back on and tied the buckle to the front cinch. When we started moving again, Belle kept on bucking. So...we had to leave all the gear wrapped in a canvas tarp with a note saying a pack station was coming to pick up the gear. We then headed out again still slowed down by Maggey. When we finally made it to Lake of the Lone Indian, a very hard decision had been made. Maggey and I walked out into the meadow at the edge of the lake, I leaned over and untied her halter, patted her on the neck and left her standing there. As I passed the lookout spot for the lake, I told the Indian of the Lake that he now had his horse. It was hard not to think about her but we had to make first camp below Mono Rock by nightfall in order for us to be able to make it out. Because we had had to leave the panniers and supplies behind we only had a couple of bags of Jack Link's Jerky a piece. We were now making better time. At the base of Silver Pass, we passed a couple of lady hikers on their way to Mt. Whitney. When we got up to the pass we came up to the 16 foot snow bank. Even though Cahlibur gave it his best try, the snow was too slippery to get up so we went back down the trail and headed east out past the end of the snow bank and a large outcropping of rock. Behind the rock was a little path cut out by melting snow that we were able to follow and get up over the pass. We gave the horses a little rest and continued on. We passed Pocket Meadow at 1:30pm and kept on going. Down below our trail, was the Mono Creek Trail. We passed a group of forest service guys making camp right off the trail, but they didn't see us up here. We also saw three different groups of pack trains and out of them only one person from the second train saw us. When we passed the second group we came to a meadow were they had some of their stock turned loose. When the stock saw us they came up running and started following us. It took four attempts at running them off for them to stay at the meadow. We were about 10 minutes from first camp when we passed the third pack train. Their tents and most of their livestock were down along the creek while the stock that was grazing closer to us came up running to meet us. One had a cow bell wrapped around its neck, which made our horses a little nervous. We tried running them back to the meadow, but the one with the bell followed us all the way to our camp. We tied our horses up and lead the gelding back across the creek and then he ran off into the woods toward the rest of the stock. Back at camp we unsaddled our horses, took them to the creek and then let them eat for about 50 minutes, took them back to the water and then put them out on the picket line. We rolled out our bedrolls, ate a couple pieces of jerky and went to sleep. Before we fell asleep we could hear dogs barking and howling into the night. We suspected they were dogs brought in by the pack trains. A couple of times during the night, when I woke up, I could here the bell of that horse off in the distance as it walked along. Travis

Woke up around 5:45am and turned the horse loose to graze. No change in Maggey still. We saddled up and headed out about 8:00am. Almost immediately we noticed that Maggey was pretty bad off. She would walk 40 or 50 feet and then we would have to rest her. After we started uphill it just got worse, she could only travel 10 to 15 feet before refusing to go anymore. We led her about a mile when she collapsed mid-stride over the rocks. We tried everything we could think of to get her up...from pulling her with Cahlibur, to swatting her on the rump with the tail end of my lariat. We eventually physically lifted her front end up and then picker her back end up. But she just didn't have the energy. We had to take off all her packs to get her up. We put the packsaddle on Cahlibur and the saddle on Maggey so she would have a light load. She walked about 6 feet and then collapsed again. All this time I had been fighting Belle. She had bucked the entire way. She kept pushing Coal and shoving him off the trail. When I removed her pack, I found a large sore on her right side. About this time was when Maggey collapsed again. We made the decision to leave our pack saddles and equipment. We laid our big tarp down in a clearing of the side of the trail and put our panniers in the middle of it with our packsaddles on top of them. We then took one of our extra ropes and tied it tight after leaving a note asking people to please leave it alone and that a pack station was coming to retrieve it. We pushed, pulled, and dragged Maggey as far as Lake of the Lone Indian, after coming to the painful decision to leave her. With having to leave all our gear we didn't have time to make it out with what supplies we could carry in our saddle bags, if we took Maggey. I can't begin to describe the feeling of helplessness and heartache that goes along with the knowledge that one of your horses is sick and probably dying and there is nothing you can do about it. We left Maggey in a large green pasture close to the lake, so that is she survived she would have plenty of food and water. When we reached the top of Silver Pass we weren't able to climb back up the snowbank. So we turned west and rode out and around it and made our own path up over the rocks. When we reached the top I got off of Coal, handed Belle off to Trav and led Coal all the way down to where the trail split and headed for Lake Thomas Edison. I had to go back up a ridge and was just too tired to walk so I rode Coal up and over and then down the trail a couple of miles. I then got off and led him again. While on the way up to our first camp we passed several camps that were out of Rock Creek Pack Station. We had to chase some of their horses because they kept trying to follow us up the trail. This was quite interesting because the Boss mare had a large cowbell around her neck that made an ungodly amount of noise. Between the first and second camps they had put up a stock barricade that we had to take down and then reset. Just as we were about to make it to camp, a gelding from the second camp came running up behind us and followed us all the way to our camp. He also had a cowbell. After tying the horses up we ran him off down the trail toward the other horses and he didn't return. We led the horses back into the trees to eat and then after watering them went to bed. We had traveled 16.5 miles, 8 or 9 or more of those I had walked. Tony

What do you suppose was wrong with Maggey? I nearly cried to hear of the trouble.

Janey Loree said...

Hi Sheila, We are not completely sure. Either colic or a twisted gut (intestine). I did cry when I was posting because Maggey ended up dying up there. These horses mean so much to my guys and I've come to love their special personalities. We do have Clancey her colt, to remember her by.

The TreeView/TreeGrid is able to render a whole hierarchy of heterogeneous objects, in a tree-like fashion. The appearance of the control may be configured as a standard grid,  a TreeGrid, or a classic TreeView by just changing options with its fluent interface. Moreover, the developer may provide both column and row custom templatesChanges Tracking capabilities are enabled by adding updatesManagers to the control Row Types, as in all Client Controls. The TreeView/TreeGrid may only work as a client control.

All TreeView/TreeGrid levels may be connected with detail forms, and data may be edited both on line and through the detail forms. Sorting, filtering & paging may be provided by adding various types of Retrieval Managers with the TreeView/TreeGrid fluent interface.

The structure of the underlying data may be transformed by moving items from a branch to another, and  also from/to other TreeView/TreeGrids. This way the TreeView/TreeGrid enables the user to edit EntitySets connected by one-to-many relations. Also move operations can be undone, by an updatesManager. Move operations, are allowed only if some constraints defined by the developer are satisfied. As a default when item moving is turned on, items may be moved only to branches containing data items of the same data-type, and belonging to the same TreeGrid/TreeView.

The rendering time of big TreeViews/TreeGrids may be reduced by delaying the rendering of children till their branches are opened for the first time. Moreover, children may be loaded dynamically from any data source.

FIVE YEARS AGO, the economy was not very strong. The US was still trying to recover from the stock-market dip after September 11, 2001. Consumer confidence was down. In fact, the situation was somewhat similar to where the economy is todayexcept that the current economy is in even worse shape because of the housing-bubble burst. Tough economic times do not have to translate into a lack of opportunity, however. In 2003, a company called RFMW was just being spawned. The distributor, which specializes in providing RF and microwave components and component-engineering support, was profitable from the first day of its second year. This achievement can be credited to the fact that RFMW stuck to its business plan, which did not allow for a long period of losses, and never spent money that it did not have. The firm's success also can be credited to its business philosophy: "Given the right environment, there is no limit to what our team can accomplish." Here, we talk to Joel Levine, the company's President, about how they make RFMW an enjoyable place to work and where he sees the company going.

MWRF: Your company started in 2003, correct?
JL: We were basically born at MTT in Philly in 2003. There, we got commitments fromI will use a round number of 10 major suppliersthat if we started RFMW, they would franchise us. And we would be able to sell their products as a franchised distributor.

MWRF: So that is when you decided that you had a good idea and you should go ahead with it?
JL: We were pretty much ready to go and that was just the confirmation that we were on the right track. Our target date was July 1, 2003 to start and as long as we had all of those confirmations, we were ready to go.

MWRF: What were you doing before you began RFMW?
JL: In 1979, I started what is today the RF and microwave group of Richardson Electronics. That was started originally as a company called RF Gain. That developed into me running the RF and microwave division of Richardson for about 18 years. In 1997, I had an offer that I could not refuse from Penstock. It was a great opportunity to learn from Bruce White and Jerry Quinnell, who pretty much started RF and microwave specialization as far as distribution. I moved to California that year. Then Penstock became fully part of Avnet and was Avnet RF at one point. That lasted until about April 1, 2003 before we left to start RFMW. Avnet had decided that they did not see the need for RF specialization while we felt the industry still needed it. That is why we started RFMW.

MWRF: Who helped you to start up RFMW?
JL: The original founders were myself, Steve Takaki (my partner), a guy who is no longer with us named Mike Lee, and JoAnn Atangan. And all these people are ex-Penstock, ex-Avnet-RF people. We also teamed up with another company called Component Distributors or CDI, which provided infrastructure for usespecially at the very beginning. The key to our success was the suppliers that came with us from the beginning or almost right from the beginning, which were Skyworks, M/A-COM, what was then Sirenza (now RFMD), and eventually TriQuint.

MWRF: Who is currently an active part of the RFMW team?
JL: We have 40 employees mostly in North America. We have opened an Israeli office and we have one person in Europe who is exploring our European strategy and business development. We have salespeople all over North America and our headquarters is in San Jose, CA, which we have just expanded. We have gone from 1000 square feet when we started to around 9000 square feet today. We also have gone from basically just a small office and warehouse to a nicer facility complete with a cleanroom and some value-added capabilities.

MWRF: Who is at the top running the show besides yourself?
JL: Steve Takaki is our Vice President of Sales and Marketing. JoAnn is still with us. Despite her young age, we consider her the company matriarch. She acts as Treasurer and handles financial operations. One other guy has been with us pretty much from the beginningJohn Hamilton, who is Director of Marketing. And all our people are RF and microwave experienced. There are even people who, like me, have 30-plus years of experience; it is hard to say that! Even a young one like JoAnn has over 10 years of experience in RF and microwave.

MWRF: Between all of you "folks at the top," so to speak, what kind of company environment do you try to create?
JL: We have our Ten Commandments. When we were at Penstock, we had the "Five Points of Light." The keys to the Five Points of Light were: technical aptitude in the sales organization, best suppliers on the line card, strategically profiled inventory, focusing on an RF and microwave-focused customer base and market, and having value-added services. So those were pretty much, although I might be paraphrasing, the Five Points of Light from the Penstock days. Then we read this book, "It's Not The Big That Eat The Small, It's The Fast That Eat The Slow" and we added five more:

Create a culture and a team that provides an ease of doing business that is unequaled in the industry. So it is basically customer-service-oriented.

To move fast, to be able to make decisions quicklyand not be bogged down by bureaucracy.

To be profitable.

To have fun and enjoy ourselves.

To create and control our own destiny so we can execute the strategy and the vision that we believe in and that we think will create shareholder value because we do have investors.

Those are the basic 10 things that we live by. If you look at it from the perspective of day to day, we try to hire, develop, and employ the best peoplelike I said before, operational excellence as far as quality service and ease of doing business. Also, concerning the lack of bureaucracy, we try to execute a simple and consistent strategy. We have been in companies where the strategy changes every six months.

continued on page 2...

Page Title

MWRF: Right, and then you have to have a lot of meetings all the time to tell everyone what the new strategy is.
JL: Yes. We know exactly what we want to do and where we want to go. What we have been learning has been the mini-MBA that we have all been going through in the last five yearsespecially regarding financial management. That goes back to profit but it also is teaching everybody within the company. Employee development is key. Besides working on the technical aspects, we are constantly emphasizing the commercial aspects of the company as far as cash flow, end profitability, and return on investment, which includes inventory management and everything around the AP and the AR.

MWRF: You are busy, successful, and you are keeping everyone moving all the time. So it sounds like the hardest part of that equation would be to have fun.
JL: First of all, I am kind of the anti-manager. We continually tell jokes and goof on each other. We have no real issues about people playing music. In the San Jose group, we go out to lunch together whenever possible. We get together once or twice a year as a company. While we focus on trainingwhether it be the technical training, sales training, or financial issueswe always set aside a day or so and have activities and team-building events. We have worked for big companies where that fell by the waysideespecially during the downturns. If we are not enjoying ourselves, I do not want to be in this business. We are trying to make it more of an employee-owned business and an employee-driven business, so we set the culture and the tone of the business that way also.

MWRF: I think you realized something significant because the thing you hear again and again in this industry is that there are so many good people in it. That is why everyone looks forward to MTT-S every year.
JL: Well, the people we hire have to share the vision of where we are going. If they do not share the vision of where we are going, we are not going to hire them. You mention MTT. We had our fifth-year birthday party at MTT. We invited a bunch of people and had over 100-plus attend our event. We had to be careful what we did budget-wise, but we also wanted to invite everyone we wanted to acknowledge. That was a lot of people because we have had tremendous support from the industry from the people who realize what we are trying to accomplish and how focused we are in RF and microwave. It was funny because I got up in front of everyone and said, "Where else could you find RFMD, Skyworks, M/A-COM, and TriQuint all under one roof, all laughing and hanging out together?" We had a great time.

MWRF: I can tell you folks still have a lot of energy about how you are doing things and what your vision is. Do you still think of yourselves as a startup or do you look at your customers and say, "They have been working with us for five years, so obviously we are now a stable, established company?" Or is it a mix of both?
JL: It depends on who we are providing to, actually. We still feel like a startup. We have no real "suits" working for us, if you will. I come in in jeans and a t-shirt every day and I could do anything. I know what I have to do. But at any given moment, I could be in the warehouse, checking something under a microscope, or helping to pull or ship an order or something like that. So we are still acting like a startup. Everybody understands where we are in our gestation period. We have a lot ahead of us. We have grown rather quickly and I owe it to the people we have working here and to our suppliersand the customers also.

MWRF: I noticed that you are working with Rosenberger. How did you come to work with them, as the other companies are all US-based?
JL: When we started, we really wanted top-of-the-line products. Our strategy was that we did not need to and did not want to compete with the broadline distributors on commodity-type connectors or something that everybody has. And Rosenberger is known as one of theI do not know, Lexuses, Cadillacs, or Mercedes, take your pickof the industry in terms of the highest-quality connectors. That is one of the things that we definitely bring to the party from our people. We had a lot of relationships and one of the relationships was with somebody who worked for Rosenberger and reps for Rosenberger. We got to talking and we saw a benefit to both parties and we joined up with them almost from the beginning. We have given them some extra exposure in the marketplace and they have done well by us also. They have a facility in Pennsylvania, but they have a fantastic facility in Germany. Their production facility is unbelievable. And the Rosenberger family are just wonderful people.

MWRF: Do you have plans to expand into other product areas?
JL: As long as it is RF and microwave-oriented, yes. We may help other people. We have pointed other people in the direction of adding product lines like our sister company, Component Distributors. But if it is not RF and microwave, we are not interested.

MWRF: Do you have any advice for folks looking to start up in the microwave industry?
JL: In any business, you better know what you are doing and you better love what you are doing. Those are two things that I think made us successful given what we have learned over the last five years. There is no way we could have done it or would have done it without those two things.

MWRF: RFMW did not start out at a great time considering the general economy at the time.
JL: Our attitude toward that was that there was no place to go but up. And at that point, money was not necessarily that available but it was "cheaper." That helped us a bit. We are component distributors, but our biggest investor at the time and our largest partner helped us. But we pretty much financed this whole thing mostly from friends and family. At the time, that worked for us.

MWRF: I take it your plan for the current economic times is to forge ahead?
JL: Yes. We are being cautiousto use an overused expression, cautiously optimistic. We are not going to fool ourselves as far as expenses. We are watching our expenses, watching our inventory, watching what our customer base is doing. Overall, the best way to say it is that if you take into consideration expenses, inventory, and credit, we are just managing our risk overall. We are watching it very carefully and we are not going to overextend ourselves. We are looking to expand internationally. We are making specific movesnot doing things just to do them. Everybody says we have to be global or international, but we want to make sure that we are in the right place at the right time and can be profitable.

MWRF: Your first international effort is Israel, you said. How did you pick that?
JL: Two or three things came together at the same time. The right people were available and a couple of product lines were available. We made a carefully considered decision and we hit it off. We started RFMW Israel a year and a quarter ago and we have been watching it grow. It is just a matter of timing and again, the right people. We also looked at Asia and Europe. My attitude is that China is a big place. Just like somebody coming over from Asia or Europe and looking at North America, you cannot put one person in New York City, Washington, DC, or LA. You need to know what the plan is to cover a country. Otherwise, you are not going to get much credibility and you are not going to get much done. Probably within the next few months, we will make some moves in some international territories.

Is VS2008 Hanging After Debugging an Project?

I start & stop Visual Studio 2008 hundreds of times per day as part of the normal debugging cycle.  In my case, it's running my project in Internet Explorer 8.  For some time now, there's been a delay of upwards of 10 seconds when stopping the project, before I could gain control of VS2008 again.

This finally got so annoying that I did some research and found this.  I tried every single idea presented in that thread but nothing worked.  Finally I got to the last item - May 7, 2010 - which suggested the culprit to the be the solution's "SUO" file.  Rather than delete it outright, I instead moved it to another folder.  Incidentally, in my case the file was over 11MB in size.  I restarted VS2008 and voilà ... the delay disappeared!

I don't know all that the SUO file contains but I've suffered no adverse effects from deleting it.  In fact, Visual Studio has already started rebuilding it!

Industry Relationships

Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists may collaborate with the pharmaceutical or medical device industries to help develop medical breakthroughs or provide medical expertise or education. Cleveland Clinic strives to make scientific advances that will benefit patient care and support outside relationships that promise public benefit. In order for the discoveries of Cleveland Clinic physicians' and scientists' laboratories and investigations to benefit the public, these discoveries must be commercialized in partnership with industry. As experts in their fields, Cleveland Clinic physicians and scientists are often sought after by industry to consult, provide expertise and education.

To assure professional and commercial integrity in such matters, Cleveland Clinic maintains a program that reviews these collaborations and, when appropriate, puts measures in place to minimize bias that may result from ties to industry. Cleveland Clinic publicly discloses the names of companies when (i) its physicians/scientists receive $5,000 or more per year (or, in rare cases, equity or stock options) for speaking and consulting, (ii) its physicians/scientists serve as a fiduciary, (iii) its physicians/scientists receive or have the right to receive royalties or (iv) its physicians/ scientists hold any equity interest for the physician's/scientist's role as inventor, discoverer, developer, founder or consultant.* In publicly disclosing this information, Cleveland Clinic tries to provide information as accurately as possible about its physicians' and scientists' connections with industry.

As of 1/25/2017, Dr. Hoyt has reported no financial relationship with industry that is applicable to this listing.

Edmonds Kind of Play: Making the transition to summer fun

Jen Marx
Jen Marx

I don’t know one parent who isn’t totally frazzled from the change in their routine as we transition from school-year schedules to summer activity schedules. I have often said, “He has trouble with transitions” in reference to one or both of my kids, but as it turns out, the apples don’t fall far from the spazzy tree. During the school year, we get a little bit of a break by being on auto-pilot. You know, that thing where you don’t know what time the bus comes anymore but you still leave and get there around the same time each day. I totally get that this a good problem to have. Both boys love their different camps and we’ll be sad when they are over, but I keep showing up at places at the wrong time!

I know it seems early to share, but the Edmonds School District just released the 2014-2015 school calendar and there are a few pieces of good news within the calendar! School starts on Sept. 3, which is the earliest it could start with Labor Day falling on the first possible day it could. There is no rush to get there right now, I know. I’m enjoying the lack of homework maybe more than anything else summer has to offer. Also, Halloween not only falls on a Friday, BUT it happens on an early release day. Not having to get your kid out of bed and convince them candy isn’t a “Breakfast Food” on a school day is pretty great.

“How to Train Your Dragon 2” is one of the big kid summer movies and next Tuesday, July 1 at 2 p.m. kids can experience it first hand at the Edmonds Library, 650 Main St.! School agers between 6 and h11 can join their guide Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third as they “learn to identify Dragon varieties and speak Dragonese.” If you’re doing the “Explore Summer” summer reading program through the Edmonds Library, this event can get you one step closer to the drawing for a free bike. For more information, you can click HERE or call the library at 425-771-1933.

Throughout the school year, Storytime at the library is a godsend. It’s free, fun, and non-committal. While Storytime typically runs through the school, the Edmonds Library will be having Ready Readers: Preschool Storytime every Wednesday at 10:30 in July. Starting next Wednesday, July 2 kids ages 3 to 5 can check out Preschool Storytime, which will include fun books, sing-along songs, and playtime or a craft. The library is always a great resource for parents, but I have been genuinely surprised this summer at the level of events. Storytime is equivalent to most Mommy and Me type classes with no commitment or cost. I called the library at 425.771.1933 to confirm story time was every Wednesday and got thoughtful help which I do every time I call them. Definitely call if you have any questions!

The Edmonds Museum Summer Market starts this weekend starts up this weekend. While The Garden Market is just in the public safety lot at 5th and Bell, the Summer Market covers “5th Street from Main at the fountain to Bell and east up Bell Street around Centennial Plaza.” We have gotten the kids to try a few more foods by picking them out at the Summer Market, though most of them are fruit and pastries.

– By Jennifer Marx

Jen Marx, an Edmonds Mom of two young boys, is a traffic reporter by dawn and writer and PBJ maker by day. She is always looking for a fun place to take the kids that makes them tired enough to go to bed on time. You can find her trying to make sense of begging kids to ” just eat the mac n cheese” at SnackMomSyndrome.com. If you have a kid-friendly event you’d like to share, email her at play@myedmondsnews.com.

Drunk Drivers and Pedestrians Don’t Mix

by Mike Myers on September 19, 2014

Pedestrians are vulnerable. They move slowly and have no protection. They’re particularly at risk when there are drunk drivers on the road.

Drivers have to watch out for and try to avoid hitting pedestrians:

Every driver of a vehicle shall exercise due care to avoid colliding with any pedestrian upon any roadway and shall give warning by sounding the horn when necessary (RCW 46.61.245).

But that doesn’t always happen. And it’s rare that drivers have enough insurance. Even though it sounds counterintuitive, pedestrians get the benefit of UIM under their own auto policies if they get hit.

But there’s usually never enough auto insurance when a drunk driver’s involved—even if the drunk has a large policy and the pedestrians has UIM. That means it’s almost always necessary to bring a claim against the bar or tavern.

RCW 66.44.200(1) prohibits the sale of alcohol to “any person apparently under the influence of liquor.”

Businesses that violate the statute by serving drunk drivers will be civilly liable to third-party victims for damages caused by their patron. Barrett v. Lucky Seven Saloon, Inc., 152 Wn.2d 259, 262-63, 96 P.3d 386 (2004).

It’s important in every personal injury case—particularly one involving alcohol—to hire a top-notch personal injury attorney to tap into sources beyond auto insurance and maximize recovery.

Putting it all together

Recently myself and three other ladies as passionate about children’s interiors as myself displayed our products at a private showing during the Melbourne gift fair. I was joined by Sura, owner of Red Plum Linen, Emma owner of Branberry Blankets and Jessica owner of Kids interiors. We all stayed, with the exception of Jess who lives in Melbourne, in a gorgeous 3 bedroom apt in Southbank for 5 nights and had so much fun.

We invited lots of retail shops from across Australia to come and look at the linen, blankets, wall art and rugs which we set up on 2 cots and 6 beds, one of which was a Sunbury Bed which we brought down from Brisbane. We had really positive feedback and had loads of fun and laughs alongside a bit of champagne of an evening. Here are some shots … I hope you like them

What is Dual Credit?

A dual credit course is a college course that a student may take to earn both college hours and high school credit. Students must complete the THEA, a THEA equivalent, or be exempt from THEA based on TAKS, SAT, or ACT scores.

These courses may be signed up for through the counseling office. Fees for textbooks and tuition do apply but vary for each institution.

For Dual Credit Courses offered on local college campuses:
Contact your local high school counselor. Questions about dual credit may be directed toward any high school counselor (281) 482-3413.

Basic Information

Location: Classes taken at FHS or COM. Check information tab at bottom of the page for the FHS courses offered on campus.
Goals: All students will work toward high school graduation and associate degree requirements simultaneously.
Admission Requirements:
• Be on grade level
• Have passing state assessment scores
• Be on Recommended or DAP Graduation Plan
• Meet college entrance testing requirements
* Students can still participate in FHS extracurricular activities while enrolled in Collegiate High School.
* Students enrolled in Collegiate High School are not eligible for Friendswood High School’s Valedictorian or Salutatorian.

January 24 & 25: Dual Credit Student Advisement Session 3:45-5 pm Computer lab 609

A dual credit course is a college course taken by a high school student for which the student earns both college and high school credit. Some courses are taught at the high school during high school hours while others are taught at a local junior college.

Friendswood has cooperative arrangements with Alvin Community College, San Jacinto, and College of the Mainland. Classes taught at Friendswood High School are offered through College of the Mainland.

Participating in the dual credit program enables you to make substantial progress toward your college degree before finishing high school. Dual credit courses are also useful in fulfilling the requirements of the Distinguished Achievement High School graduation program. Other advantages include:
1. Convenience. Courses are taught at the high school campus, at the college, or online depending on the arrangements made with your high school.
2. Close to home. Learn what college professors expect while still in familiar surroundings.
3. Student Success. Successful completion of college-level courses helps you be successful in making the transition to a college campus later.
4. Dual credit courses are intended for students who possess proven ability, interest and motivation to handle the extra workload and study requirements. The decision to take a dual credit course should not be taken lightly. It is strongly recommended any student considering dual credit courses seek advice from his/her counselor and parent. When considering dual credit courses, students must carefully consider the extra time commitment the courses entail. Dual credit courses are demanding and require extensive homework and self-directed study. Therefore, a strong degree of motivational, organizational and time management skills are critical.

1. For Dual Credit classes taught at Friendswood High School you must be classified as a junior or senior, have a minimum of a B overall average, and passed all the sections of the state assessment test.
2. Meet established admissions requirements at the Junior College as well as appropriate prerequisites for any course.
3. Comply with the state-mandated Texas Higher Education Assessment (THEA) program.
4. Take applicable placement tests prior to enrolling.
5. Complete the dual credit endorsement form acquiring the appropriate school and parental signatures.
6. Pay the reduced costs associated with taking a dual credit college course.
The TSI Assessment is a college readiness test specifically designed to determine if students are ready for college-level coursework. There are TSI score requirements for placement into any dual credit courses. Details on specific testing requirements can be found on the College of the Mainland website at www.com.edu.
Concurrent enrollment in a college is allowed for students who have met the established admission requirements at the college and comply with the state mandated TSI Assessment. Students must have written permission from the principal or counselor, and parent. No high school credit is granted towards graduation requirements. College hours may be earned in accordance with the college’s rules and regulations.

Location: All classes taken at College of the Mainland.
Goals: All students will work toward high school graduation and associate degree requirements simultaneously.

Summer Vacation Pictures

I never really posted any of our vacation pictures but here are a few that I really liked. And Chris wants to use one of these for our Christmas cards this year. I said "Sure, go ahead" -- Less stress on me later.
Here we are at Carthage Jail On Monday the 28th, of July. We had just come from visiting in Nauvoo. Which the kids were kind of cranky about already. I think it was the humidity that they aren't used to that help trigger there fits they tended to have.
An old prison near Moundsville, West Virginia that I thought looked really neat and then the only sightseeing we did was basically from the car so of course, it was raining and then you get all the water spots -- but I think it adds to the effect.
My Ultimate Favorite: They would climb up this hill just to get to the top and then turn around and run all the way down. The kids had such fun playing in this yard and having a great time being together.
My Three favorite guys!! Ethan was just excited to be outside of the car and not strapped into the carseat!! Thomas was a little grumpy I think.
We were all waiting around and checking out the site across the Freeway
This was the scene aross the road. I didn't think I'd be able to get the clear enough but I guess I was able to get them enough to see what they were. I love the green pasture all around him and the fact that there are cows in the background, it would have been a lot cuter had I brought some overalls and snapped some with just overalls on, maybe next time.

One of my favorites of Thomas while on vacation -- this was near Elkins, West Virginia at the Rice Family Reunion that we attended. There were little creeks and streams everywhere back there. It was so great.
I was standing up on a bridge that seemed to be very unstable but someone that lived there rode across it with a four wheeler. CRAZY!!!
Sitting on a rock in the middle of the creek that was being played in.

One of the coolest bridgest that we crossed while headed to Steubenville, Ohio to visit with a distant cousin of my father in law. (And my husband for that matter) Chris wants to use this picture for our Christmas card this year. Of course, I don't think that I'll make a big one to hang on my wall. I still will try and get a nicer one before we do our cards.
Check out the COW!!! I couldn't stop laughing. My husband took this picture because he went to help on a cemetery headstone restoration project while we were there. But that cow, just .... is so worth this picture being taken. (And the cow is why he decided to take the picture)
Some cool SPIDER WEBS!! The dew that collected on these just made them look so mystical

Here is the Columbus Ohio Temple. It was so pretty there.
Our Last West Virginia Sunset --- SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!!

The girls loved this little stream right on the Temple grounds for the Columbus Ohio Temple. It was nice and refreshing for them to play in.
There are a few of the high-lights from our Summer Vacation. It was so much fun, and we can hardly wait to go back. Well at least I'm not looking forward to the drive. But the fact that we got away from the normal stuff, to see things we've never seen before was a nice change to my days that I was gone. Now I just need to take a MOMMY VACATION --

  1. Beautiful pictures -- I love the one with the temple in the background and the girls playing in the stream. The other ones that stood out were of all your kids playing on the grass; I think THOSE would make great Christmas cards. The one with the "Randolph" sign is unique, too.

  2. Those pictures are gorgeous. I love your kids smiles. I'm glad you all had such a wonderful summer. The temple in the background is really beautiful too.

  3. You have some excellent pictures here Wendy!! I'm glad you guys had such a great trip together. There's nothing like childhood memories of family vacations.

I like feedback.... so go ahead and leave me some comment love. Thanks.

Alabama beats Georgia 32-28, advances to BCS championship

This is an archived article and the information in the article may be outdated. Please look at the time stamp on the story to see when it was last updated.

ATLANTA — Alabama is heading back to the national championship game – by a mere 4 yards.

AJ McCarron threw a 45-yard touchdown pass to Amari Cooper with 3:15 remaining, and the No. 2 Crimson Tide barely held off No. 3 Georgia 32-28 in a Southeastern Conference title game for the ages Saturday.

After an apparent game-clinching interception by Alabama was overturned on a video review, Georgia’s Aaron Murray completed a 15-yard pass to Arthur Lynch, a 23-yarder to Tavarres King and a 26-yarder to Lynch, who was hauled down at the Alabama 8 as the clock continued to run.

The Bulldogs were out of timeouts.

Instead of spiking the ball and gathering themselves, the Bulldog snapped the ball with 9 seconds to go. Murray attempted a pass into the corner but it was deflected at the line, winding up in the arms of Chris Conley out in the right flats.

Surprised to get the ball, he slipped down at the 4.

Georgia couldn’t get off another play. Alabama celebrated as confetti fell from the Georgia Dome roof. The Bulldogs collapsed on the field, stunned they had come so close to knocking off the team that has won two of the last three national titles.

The Tide will get a chance to make it three out of four when they face top-ranked Notre Dame for the BCS crown on Jan. 7 in Miami.

“I’m ready to have heart attack here,” Alabama coach Nick Saban said.

For the Bulldogs (11-2), the consolation prize will likely be a spot in the Capital One Bowl, though they certainly looked like a team fully deserving of a BCS bid. Georgia coach Mark Richt said his team had the play it wanted at the end, but Alabama ruined it by getting a hand on the ball.

“I told the guys I was disappointed, but I’m not disappointed in them,” Richt said. “They’re warriors. We had a chance at the end. We just didn’t get it done.”

In a back-and-forth second half that looked nothing like a game in the defensive-minded SEC, the Crimson Tide trailed 21-10 after Alec Ogletree returned a blocked field goal for a touchdown in the third quarter.

Alabama rallied behind a punishing run game, finishing with 350 yards on the ground, an SEC championship game record. Eddie Lacy rumbled for 181 yards on 20 carries, including two TDs. Freshman T.J. Yeldon added 153 yards on 25 carries, also scoring a TD.

But the Tide won it through the air.

With Georgia stacking the line, McCarron fooled the Bulldogs with play action and delivered a perfectly thrown pass to Cooper, who beat Damian Swann in single coverage.

Georgia played like a champion, too.

The Bulldogs punted the ball back to Alabama with 2:25 left, relying on its defense to finally stop the Tide. Georgia used up its final two timeouts, forced a punt and got the ball back at its 15 with 1:16 remaining.

Alabama broke into a celebration when a pass down the middle for Conley was deflected and Dee Milliner appeared to make a diving interception. But the replay showed the ball hit the ground, so Murray and the Georgia offense trotted back on the field for their last gasp.

And what a gasp it was.

Just not quite enough.

Todd Gurley led Georgia with 122 yards rushing, including a couple of TDs. Murray finished 18 of 33 with 265 yards with one touchdown and one interception.

McCarron was 12 of 21 for 162 yards with an interception.

A Prima Mixed Media vintage Telephone box - a class

 Last weekend, I had an advanced Silhouette class. One of the tasks for the participants, was to create their own telephone box from a photo.

This photo box, is my own design. The photo box is made with Papers from Prima's Sun Kiss Collection - Sun Dried. I have mounted a small led light inside the photo box. The battery is hidden in the roof of the telephone box. I have used a 3V battery from an old computer. The switch for the led light is from an electrical tea light, that I dismantled.

I have created a vintage telephone inside the telephone box. I have also made small telephone books, which is hanging from the telephone table inside the box. The door to the telephone box is hinged, and locks with a magnet.

The flowers are mainly from Prima, but some of them are also from Wild Orchid craft. The base is done with papers from The Stationers desk. The base has also been covered with an overlay with words. The overlay was the base for a set of Prima flowers. I have always saved these overlays, to see if I could use them for something. I have also used Gesso, micro beads, stamps and different paints on the base, to create some effects.

The tap, is from a Prima set, designed by Ingvild Bolme. I have used Meta Mica to create effects on the tap. The water drops has been made by cutting half beads from round to drops.

The sign in from Prima, and has been mounted on a part from a vintage type writer.

The butterfly is a wood icon from Prima.

Working with alcohol ink on backgrounds

We are inspiering you with alcohol inks at StampARTic today. Alcohol ink is always an interesting to use. It gives so many oportunities to colour different materials and backgrounds and inspire me to test out new ways of using it.

Today, I am showing an acetate based card. The edge is made from Prima's - Seashore - Seahorse paper. The motive is from Pion, but most of the other papers and embellishments are from Prima.

I have used alcohol ink to create some background colour on the acetate, at the edge of the motive. The background has been built up with layers from paper, wood icons, metal, flowers, beads and glitter. At the end, some of the background was also coloured with alcohol ink

The back of the card. The card stand is a free cutting file from Birds Cards.

A Prima Birthday paper bag

We have a new challenge over at Scandinavia Paper Fun. This time, the challenge is birthdays.

I have created a small birthday bag with papers from Prima - Prima - Something Blue Collection - Enchanted Blooms. The "Happy Birthday" die cut is a silhouette file. Flowers are from Prima and Wild Orchid.The wooden butterfly is from Prima. I have distressed the edges. I have also used my own number stencil and used gesso to make an effect on the paper. There is also a lot of small metal beads and small metal charms among the flowers.

The "Happy Birthday" die cut is a silhouette file. This box was filled with 9 small punches and given as a small birthday treat for a 5 year old girl - who really wants to start cardmaking.

A Prima Center Step Easel card with tutorial

Today, I have created a tutorial for a Center Step Easel card for StampARTic.

This is an example of the card, finished decorated. The paper is a mixture of Prima's Butterfly-Vintage ATC and papers from old Prima collections. The Chipboard diecut is from Wycinanka. Roses are from Wild Orchids. I have also used different dies from Marianne design, Prima and Memory box. The leaf stamp and punch is from Nellie Snellen.

The step card is locked in place with the easel part of the card.

The back of the card is decorated with a flap, with space to  write a message.

How to create the card:

Here is the template for the card. Cut and score in bazzill, after the template in bazzill.

Glue the two parts together. This is split in two because of the short length of standard bazzill.

Cover the bazzill with panels of patterned paper.

Fold the Center step card.

Fold the Easel/ back side of the card around, and under the step side of the card.

The little flip at the end of the Easel card will hold the step card in place.

To fold the card flat, to send it, fold the Easel part of the card up, and into the middle of the card itself.

You are now able to fold the card flat.

Have fun

Send med an e-mail if you would like the Silhouette file for this card.

Butterfly Mixed Media heart box

This is the last of the three heart boxes published in the February's issue of "Ett trykk" as a part of my guest designer spot.  The aim was to create three quite different Prima based boxes with the same template. They are all built out of bazzill. The boxes are all 6cm x 13cm x 11cm.

The paper is from: Prima - Epiphany - Manifestation of Love. I have also used distress paint  (Moved Lawn og mustard seed) and MetaMica - Pauashell with my own "coffee spills" stencil. The photo with the butterfly, is one of my own.

Embellishemts: Prima Junkyard Findings – Water Pipe Frames and Small Typo Bulbs. Flowers and brads are from Prima.

mandag 2. mars 2015

A Mixed Media shadow heart box

This is another heart box I did as a guest designer for the magazine "Ett trykk" for the February issue.

The box is hand made, with the same template as the other Mixed Media heart box, however, this box has got a shadow box lid. The size is 6cm x 13cm x 11cm.

I have used papers from Prima; - Something Blue - Enchanted Blooms and Love Melodies. Embellishments are from: Prima Junkyard Findings - Industrial Lamps. The flowers are from Prima and Wild Orchid craft.  The photos are old family photos.

A Mixed Media Heart box

I was asked to be a guest designer for the magazine "Ett Trykk" for a year. This hear box was printed in the February issue.

The heart shaped box is hand made. The size is: 6cm x 13cm x 11cm. I used a mixed media "snake skin" effect inspired by Andy Skinner on the box. I then drypainted the box with acrylic paint (black, blue and white), MetaMica (Blue Steel and Pauashell), Distress Paint (salty ocean og picket fence) and Inca Gold (Champagne) to reveal the texture.

I have used different metal and flower embellishments to decorate the box. Some of the embellishments has been painted.

The inside of the box has been covered with paper from Prima - (Stationers Desk - Side Note)

Save on your hotel -

Hawaii: The Big Island, a Trailblazer Guide for planning your trip

Traveling to Hawaii is a dream come true for anyone looking to explore exotic landscapes, beautiful beaches and experience adventure. The largest out of the eight major Hawaiian Islands, the Big Island has a wealth of activities for anyone looking for active travel. Vera Marie Badertscher from A Traveler’s Library tells us how to make the most out of your visit to this paradise with a review of an informative guide written by Jerry and Jeanine Sprout.

Hamakua Coast on Hawaii's Big Island

The dramatic Hamakua Coast

You know right away that this is a book for the boomer adventure traveler, when you see the subtitle.  Hawaii The Big Island Trailblazer: Where to hike, snorkel, surf, bike, drive.

But if your travel style is more laid back than active, don’t worry, the Sprouts have you covered.

The Big Island has been on my “wannago” list for quite a while, so I took this opportunity to see how helpful the Trailblazer Guide to Hawaii would be in planning a trip. Short answer: Very helpful.

After poring over this book for a few days and fantasizing about my personal trip to the island, I can’t imagine anything that is missing from this guidebook.  It certainly changed my estimate of how long it would take to “do” the island. Unlike other islands I’ve visited, I will not be able to walk across the middle or even drive around the edge in a day.  While theoretically you could drive the 300-mile perimeter of the Big Island, who in their right mind would do that? Go whizzing by volcanoes and cliffs and around 14,000′ Mauna Kea and black, green, white and tan beaches and through tropical forests without stopping? No way.

Papalokea, or the green sand beach, on Hawaii's Big Island

Hike to a green sand beach

The Big Island, twice as large as all the other Hawaiian Islands combined, offers up so many enticing choices that the trip planner might be hopelessly tangled up in possibilities. But Jerry and Janine Sprout, a boomer husband and wife team of explorers and writers, take the confused traveler by the hand and help sort out the choices.

In a wonderful bit of understatement, the authors say, “The Big Island presents a challenge to adventure travelers with limited time.” Ya’ think?  They present 153 hikes and walks, 73 snorkeling and swimming spots, 41 surfing locations, 24 biking trails, and nine maps to lead you to them.

You will learn a few terms in Hawaiian with their glossary and Hawaiian history in their sections labeled “Talk Story.” After aloha, the navigationally necessary makai for toward the ocean and mauka for inland (toward the mountain) are the first words you’ll want to know.

Akaka Falls on The Big Island

Akaka Falls

The book displays dozens of black and white photos, but only a 4-page insert of color photos. No matter. You will be taking your own in this incredibly photogenic land.

This Trailblazer Guide will help you choose between the Kailua-Kona region on the west coast–the most popular and therefore prone to traffic jams– and, for instance, the lesser-visited southeastern Puna Coast.

For the travel planner trying to make choices, I particularly appreciate the extensive list of “bests.”  A few choices in each category help you whether you are looking for hard core adventure “For Seasoned Trekkers Only” or something milder “Perfect Places, Little Walking” or even best places to have a picnic.

Since this guidebook concentrates on activities and sights, don’t look for lots of guidance on hotels and restaurants, although there are lists of possiblilities.

Yes, after reading this guide to the Big Island, I want even more than ever to go to Hawaii, and I will definitely use the Trailblazer as my planning guide and trip companion.

Have you read Hawaii The Big Island Trailblazer? Which active travel ideas from the book did you use? Join the conversation at the My Itchy Travel Feet page on Facebook or send us an email to ask a question or share your experience.

I have included an Amazon Link to Hawaii The Big Island Trailblazer for your convenience. However My Itchy Travel Feet does receive a small percentage for purchases made at

Saint Laurent Hunting Rucksack

Below: A new summer calls for a functional and urban adventure-ready bag... and Saint Laurent's Hunting Rucksack marries both functional and urban minimalist luxe appeal perfectly... I want this khaki version! Great handy size too...
Backpacks For SS2014: Saint Laurent Hunting Rucksack

Ever since backpacks got back into my good books for must-have accessories... I rediscovered the immense joy of handsfree ‘gallivanting’ days each weekend ever since. Keeping both hands free is liberating. Shouldering your shopping finds over 2 shoulders seem less of burden. Backpacks rule!

So with the new season up and coming... what backpacks will suit the urban fashionit, packed with aplenty modern style to compliment all those summer looks? My choice #1 has been found! It’s the Saint Laurent Hunting Rucksack, constructed from both canvas and leather. Materials that are durable and summer ready that will make this a welcoming companion for warmer days.

Measuring 27.0 x 42.0 x 22.0 cm and comes in khaki, navy or black, the Saint Laurent Hunting Rucksack embodies minimal modern appeal with functionality. I love the sizing and proportion, with leather details on the front flap and buckle strap. The front zip compartment is also handy for easy access to regularly used items... making the bag perfect for commuting about town or travels.

I want the khaki version... matches any safari theme summer looks and the colour works great with all those colourful summer 2014 florals:-)

Below: Comes in navy and black...

The Brewery

Belgian Singel

Original Release Date: 9/27/2013

Format:  1/6 bbl keg, 16 oz can

Availability: Pub/Brewery-Only

ABV: 4.9%

IBU: 15

SRM: 3

Bitterness Ratio: 23:58 (0.397)

Grist: Pilsner Malt, Riverbend Pilsner

Hops:  Hallertau Tradition

Brewer's Notes: This beer was the first of our Brewer's Session Series at the pub and was originally released as Brewers Session I.  The idea behind Brewer's Session was to have a light, accessible session beer to fill in spots in the lineup there.  In this case, at the time of the original release we had a lot of dark beers on the menu, and nothing bright and quenching.  I made this beer with the idea of a Patersbier and while I missed the mark with a little too much alcohol, it's a super-tasty beer, and was incredibly popular. It has the rich maltiness of traditional Pilsner malt and a nice floral/spicy noble hoppiness, all over a crisp dry body and the unmistakable ester profile of Trappist Abbey yeast.

When we approached the idea of the Birthday 4-Pack it seemed like a no-brainer to pull this one back out as the Singel.

This beer is named after Sancho Panza from Don Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quixote.

Doing nothing all day takes up all of my time.

Wynne is 6 weeks old today, which both seems impossible and like it took forever. Currently she's hanging out with her Gigi while I pump. Most things I've read say you should pump for 15-20 minutes, but I find that milk is still coming (in tiny dribs; I rarely make more than 1.5 ounces per pumping session), so I usually pump for 30 minutes. It's no fun. It's mighty uncomfortable, and I'm tied down to one spot the whole time, unable to cook or clean or shower or even change positions, and I have to do it sitting up, otherwise the milk leaks everywhere and all is lost, and we're making do with a fairly old futon as our primary seating. It really doesn't offer a lot of support. And worst of all, I can't really hold the baby while I'm pumping, so I have to hand her off (often for a feeding, so someone else has to feed and burp her) and then she'll get comfortable and fall asleep, so I can't hang out with her again for a long time after I'm done cause I don't want to risk waking her up. I do not miss the agonies of nursing, but oh what I would give not to have to spend 4 hours per day pumping (to say nothing of the storage and clean-up afterwords). And we're still having to supplement with formula cause I don't make enough. I know it sounds awful to complain that I'm able to give my baby ANY breastmilk, cause I'm sure if I couldn't I would be furious with anyone who griped about it, but this is my situation and I am just saying, it wears me down. I can't help thinking every time I hook up the stupid pump that it would be so nice if all I had to do was pull up my shirt or mix up formula bottles when it was time for Wynne to eat. I'll keep pumping as long as I can, but I am not gonna be sorry when it's over. It's so good that babies are adorable, because some of the stuff I have to do for one is NOT cute at all. Wet and dirty diapers don't bother me, and I don't care when she spits up all down my arm when I'm trying to burp her (this is a feat, by the way. who knew? it sounds so simple in theory, but babies fling their little bodies all over creation and two hands is simply too few), but the lack of sleep is really catching up to me. I get pretty upset over what I know are actually very small things, and I have to really concentrate on enjoying middle of the night feedings instead of feeling sorry for myself for being awake and only having gotten two hours of sleep. Again, it's a well thought-out system, cause the middle of the night feeding is when she does the most smiling. This week her smiles are seeming more deliberate and intentional, rather than just those little sleep smiles we were getting before. I can't WAIT for my mama to see them when we go back for Thanksgiving. She will just melt.

Here's a picture of her in a precious pea pod outfit that Gigi made her. Tell me I don't have the cutest baby in the land.

At some point I'd like to write about all the baby gear we've found really helpful. Perhaps I'll get around to it before SHE has a baby. But no promises.

longbrakeliving said...

"babies fling their little bodies all over creation and two hands is simply too few." AMEN!!

No, you don't have the cutest baby in the land - I DO! But you do have the cutest 6-week old baby in the land!

And you know I hear you on the pumping stuff. I Not even a tiny, little bit. I actually saw a picture of how many bottles I used to have to wash, multiple times a day, and I wanted to cry just thinking about it. Also, I will not say you shouldn't complain. Frankly, I think Mamas who pump AND bottle feed have the hardest go, just in terms of time. Also, be glad Gigi is around to hold her! The worst is when no one is around, the baby is screaming, and you're just holding these plastic things to your boobs, unable to do anything, oh, and then someone knocks at the door because your dog is running away. And all you can do is sit there with your plastic things on your boobs. Not that I have any personal experience with this.

Hey Mama! Reading how you're feeling just reminds me of the chaos that will be my life again in a few months! I'm sure your Doc has told you this, or perhaps you've read it somewhere, but when I was having trouble producing enough milk for Chloe, my Doctor reminded me to be sure to stay very hydrated, eat lots of little meals throughout the day, and try fenugreek supplements. I got them at a local health food store, and it helped a lot. If you do decide to try this, get it in a pill form the seeds are pretty bitter! I didn't have to take it for very long, once my milk production got going. Just a suggestion. :) Your sweet Miss Wynne is absolutely precious! and that pea pod sweater-deal is adorable!! Much love,

I'm Erin. said...

Hang in there, it gets easier.

And then harder.

And then easier.

Well, pretty much like that from birth through age 5. I cannot verify past that, but I think it will be more of the same.

But at least you'll be getting more sleep! And it's easier to deal with harder when you've slept.

Could it be a launch on Next gen for Oct. 6th and it will come later for PS3 & xbox 360?

francknara61496d ago

Confirmed not in 2013.

FarCryLover1821496d ago

I feel like it will come Spring 2014. I don't see Activision releasing this so close to "Call of Duty."

Sensu1496d ago

I reported this as old/duplicate when it was submitted... This guy just pushed fixed and went on with it. -_-

Rockefellow1496d ago

What a surprise. That happens more often than I'd like, and I can't believe moderators here are happy with the news pages clogged with identical articles.

I thought I read yesterday that it wasn't being released until sometime in 2014..

Diehard GameFAN: Spot It! Mean Machines Review

DHGF: For $1.99, this isn’t a bad game, but I don’t know that I would get this title for anyone over the age of, like, 8. (Which makes sense, as it seems to have been designed for that age group.) There are ten available levels, which is not bad given the price, and it provides enough of a challenge to be entertaining in short bursts. There’s a local multiplayer (local meaning hand the handheld over to someone else) option which might be fun for more well-behaved kids.

Nintendo releases Wii U update to speed up system's laggy performance

By Sam Byford

Nintendo has released the first major Wii U software update since the console's launch late last year. As demonstrated last month, the primary focus of the update is to improve the system's performance and address the long load times that we found to be a vexing problem in our review. The new firmware also adds some other features: you can now copy data between two USB drives directly, the console can automatically download and install updates in the background, and you can boot directly into the original Wii mode by holding down the B button during startup. The speed improvements are welcome, but probably won't satisfy everyone just yet — Nintendo has said that another update, due this summer, will further address the system's lag.

Yes, My wii U runs much faster now when switching between apps.

So much better! It should have been like this from launch.

But does the hardware lag if you surf for porn?.

Nollywood Stars Linked With Apostle Suleman Enjoy Free Money As Omega Fire Church Becomes Mecca

nollywood stars linked with apostle suleman

March 14, 2017 – Nollywood Stars Linked With Apostle Suleman Enjoy Free Money As Auchi Omega Fire Church Becomes A Tourist Hot Spot

Nollywood actors, Leo Mezie, and Georgina Onuoha, have thrown their weight behind the embattled General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries, Johnson Suleman.

Mr. Suleman is currently enmeshed in an alleged sex scandal with budding singer, Stephanie Otobo, and Nollywood actress, Daniella Okeke.

Mr. Mezie, who claimed he miraculously recovered from a kidney ailment last year, reiterated the cleric’s role in his recovery process.

He also added that the cleric sent him N8 million to offset his medical bills even though he had never met him in person.

Auchi, the hitherto sleepy town in Edo State where Mr. Suleman’s church is located, is a mecca of sort for politicians, captains of industry and Nollywood actors. But, none of them has defended the controversial Apostle.

Mr. Mezie wrote on Instagram, “His (Mr. Suleman’s) generosity and act of giving will not kill him or put him in trouble. Not one million Stephanie Otobos will stop him because it is his call to service. Finally, I will rather not curse Stephanie Otobo but I will pray for her that the good Lord will show her mercy in Jesus name. Amen.

“He was also constantly checking on me and even sent members of his church in UK to always check up on me – Pastor Ejiro and Pastor Daniella Williams to mention but a few. Immediately I returned, I went to see him to thank him.

“So saying why must he send money to someone he hasn’t seen doesn’t make sense. Apostle (Suleman) maybe friendly and extremely jovial but will never ever take indecent pictures or with anybody, as this Stephenie Otobo is claiming”.

On her part, Ms. Onuoha chastised her colleagues actors who are beneficiaries of Mr. Suleman’s ‘goodness’ and ‘kindness’ but are maintaining pin drop silence.

“Where are all the Nollywood beneficiaries of this preacher? We all see your pictures with him. You all are now radio silence? May God have mercy on us all and may God heal all involved in this.

Majority of our colleagues Male and Female are benefactors of this man’s goodness and kindness. Go through his events and videos you will see almost all of Nollywood around him. He is known for blessing actors with cars and starting business for them.

“He is a friend to majority of us including me. Majority of Nollywood players travel to his events home and abroad, people stalk him in towns and hotels wherever he lodges to preach or pray asking for prayers and help. He has supported majority of us. Seeing all these makes my heart bleed,” Ms. Onuoha wrote.

Meanwhile the two failed to garner support for one of their own, Daniella, who was recently romantically linked to the cleric who is popularly known as God’s Oracle.

Mr. Suleman has since denied having a relationship with Miss Otobo.

But he is yet to deny knowing Daniella Okeke.

An insider just revealed why the Omega Fireman will never deny his relationship with Daniella Okeke.

Will bring you the exclusive update soon.
