Had the last ultrasound today. Baby boy is measuring 2 weeks ahead of schedule. I wonder how this bodes for attempting a VBAC

As a strident ridiculer and heckler of Burning Man, I say this to you, April: be safe and have fun. - Akiva
I will be safe and will have fun, Akiva. Thanks! - April Buchheit
Safe travels! We'll be there on Tuesday. - joey
Have a great time! It's one of those things I've always wanted to do... - Georgia from iPhone
Don't forget a sweater, just in case it gets cold at night! - Gabe
Yeah! And you might want to bring some goggles just in case it gets sandy! And you might want to bring some water just in case you get thirsty! - Akiva
It will definitely be cold at night. Paul and I will be donning our fur hooded coats. - April Buchheit
Definitely, Akiva. This will be my 4th burn (6th for Paul, I think), so we're no strangers to the elements. - April Buchheit

Valedictorian Speaks Out Against Schooling in Graduation Speech -- Signs of the Times News - http://www.sott.net/article...?
"I am now accomplishing that goal. I am graduating. I should look at this as a positive experience, especially being at the top of my class. However, in retrospect, I cannot say that I am any more intelligent than my peers. I can attest that I am only the best at doing what I am told and working the system. Yet, here I stand, and I am supposed to be proud that I have completed this period of indoctrination. I will leave in the fall to go on to the next phase expected of me, in order to receive a paper document that certifies that I am capable of work. But I contest that I am a human being, a thinker, an adventurer - not a worker. A worker is someone who is trapped within repetition - a slave of the system set up before him. But now, I have successfully shown that I was the best slave. I did what I was told to the extreme. While others sat in class and doodled to later become great artists, I sat in class to take notes and become a great test-taker. While others would come to class... more... - April Buchheit from Bookmarklet
"And now here I am in a world guided by fear, a world suppressing the uniqueness that lies inside each of us, a world where we can either acquiesce to the inhuman nonsense of corporatism and materialism or insist on change.

The robot that visits your cubicle - CNN.com
"When Trevor Blackwell, CEO of a company called Anybots, wants to know what his employees are up to, he sends a robot to their cubicles. "I can see if people are busy on something -- and then won't interrupt them," he said this week. "Or, you know, if they're doing something that looks interesting, or if they look stuck, I'll have a conversation with them." This isn't your standard "Office Space" conversation. Blackwell boots up a "telepresence robot" -- which looks like a combination between a Segway and Johnny 5 from those "Short Circuit" movies -- to talk to his employees from his home, 10 miles from Anybots' office in Mountain Home, California." - April Buchheit from Bookmarklet

Blind Dog Has Her Own Seeing-Eye Dog - Paw Nation
"These two dogs are more than just best friends, they share a rare bond. Ellie, a young cavalier King Charles spaniel in England, is almost completely blind. While her owner and a local animal organization are working to raise money for a vision-restoring operation, a German shepherd named Leo has taken matters into his own paws, and is protecting and guiding her. "Ellie has cataracts on both eyes and is only aware of shadows," explains Jean Spencer, manager of Rochdale's Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, in an interview with the Manchester Evening News. "But Leo, who's an absolutely massive dog, has become her eyes. It's touching to watch them together. She follows him around and snuggles up to him."" - April Buchheit from Bookmarklet

Family Stratification Chart
z5b9J.gif
"The relationship in each box is what that person's relationship would be to you, where you are "Self." As you can see, you, your siblings, your 1st cousins, 2nd cousins, etc., are all in the same generation. Thus, "once removed" means "one generation removed."" - April Buchheit
Great chart. Thanks for sharing. I now know that my cousins kids are 1st cousin once removed to me, and 2nd cousins to Spencer. - Robert Felty
I've always thought that children of my cousins would be nephews / nieces of some kind. Thanks for clarifying. - Tudor Bosman
How do I know this is accurate? The part with the parents of the 3rd, 4th, etc cousins is odd. - Paul Buchheit
I've always wanted to know this instead of just guessing. Awesome! - Kevin Fox
Genealogy.com seems to agree. http://www.genealogy.com/16_cous...; also Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Tudor Bosman
Which gives rise to the perpetual plaint about visiting relatives, "If they're my 2nd cousins once removed, couldn't they be removed again?" - Ruchira S. Datta
Paul, the parent of your Nth cousin is the (N-1)th cousin of your parent. Go in the child direction and it doesn't work that way. - Bruce Lewis
Wikipedia says this follows the “Eskimo kinship terminology”: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Amit Patel
Thanks for inspiring me to find a Chinese equivalent http://kwanfamily.info/familyt... and its table/legend http://kwanfamily.info/familyt... - John Lam
Thanks! The surprise to me is that I knew my dad's cousin was my cousin once removed but I didn't know my cousin's children are cousins once removed as well. Sorta makes me wish for the Scandinavian names which are very precise: Mormor is your maternal grandmother. Farmor is your paternal grandmother. I wonder if their cousin words are as precise... - Spidra Webster
Spidra: sound like you're asking for “descriptive” terms instead of “classificatory” terms (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...) - Amit Patel

This made me cry. Theo was born with severe hearing loss. Amazingly it resolved and now he is a healthy little boy. - Joe Beda

Wow.. just ... wow... what a magical moment.. - Andrew Terry
Joe: How did Theo's hearing loss resolve itself? Glad to hear that all is well with him now. :) - April Buchheit
It isn't clear what happened to be honest. He was born without a thyroid. Our best theory is that it was secondary to that and that getting him on levothyroxine right away is what caused it to resolve. Our endocrinologist isn't buying it but no one has any other explanation. Not a day goes buy when I don't realize how lucky we are. Those first couple of weeks with him were terrifying.... more... - Joe Beda
I am not an expert, but I worked in a lab which did research on children with cochlear implants. One thing I learned is that the development of the ears and some of the organs in the midsection are related. I also learned that there is no research that has shown that having a cochlear implant in both ears is better than just one ear. However, there is good reason to assume that the... more... - Robert Felty
