Money for Gov. Sonny Perdue's portrait in the state Capitol was donated entirely by members the board of the Georgia Ports Authority.
So board chairman Alec Poitevint, former chairman of the state GOP, tells Tom Crawford of Georgia Reports:
Poitevint declined to disclose how much money the authority members donated for the artist's commission. "It was very reasonable for the quality of the portrait," he said.
Rossin's portraits of the high and the mighty – he has painted both presidents Bush and Sen. Saxby Chambliss – reportedly bring him commissions in the range of $18,000 to $35,000.
The decision to raise the money from Ports Authority members is ironic, in light of recent media reports that representatives of Perdue's trucking and grain businesses had met several times with port officials for tips on how to increase the amount of business the Perdue companies do with Georgia ports after he leaves office.
Close to the same topic, state Sen. Buddy Carter, R-Pooler, has an op-ed piece in today's Savannah Morning News, asking readers to leave an exception in their earmarkless world for the $551 million dredging of the Port of Savannah:
Regardless of whether it's through the president's budget proposal or through a congressional action the federal government needs to step up to the plate. They are, after all, responsible for keeping the waterways cleared so that they can be navigated.
And if it has to be through congressional action, don't call it an earmark, at least not one of the pork kind. While technically it may be labeled that, an economic development project of this magnitude is anything but pork.
Jane Kidd, chairman of the state Democratic party, e-mailed a note to members of the state committee on Monday evening, indicating that she will not seek another term.
Names mentioned to replace her include state Labor Commissioner Michael Thurmond and former Atlanta mayor Shirley Franklin. The deadline for submitting notice of candidacy to the party is Dec. 16. The election will be on Jan. 29, in Warner Robins.
Sonny Perdue, now down his final weeks as governor, has recommended state Rep. Mark Williams, R-Jesup, as his choice for commissioner of the state Department of Natural Resources to replace Chris Clark. Gov.-elect Nathan Deal concurs, according to Deal spokesman Brian Robinson.
Williams, a businessman and former teacher, is in his fourth year at the Legislature. He defeated Christian conservative activist Kay Godwin in a 2006 primary.
Denis O'Hayer of WABE (90.1FM) has posted a 12-minute clip from a legislative roundtable he hosted for the Atlanta Regional Commission earlier this month. Participants included House Speaker pro tem Jan Jones, R-Milton; state Rep. Ed Lindsey, R-Atlanta; House Minority Leader Stacy Abrams, D-DeKalb County; and state Sen. Doug Stoner, D-Smyrna.
A shorter, broadcast version can be heard here.
The topic of another push by Jones to create Milton County from the northern and wealthiest portion of Fulton County naturally came up.
Jones confirmed that she intends to introduce the matter when the General Assembly convenes in January, but doesn't expect a vote this year.
Lindsey, who has opposed the measure in the past, said Fulton County has a limited amount of time to address the issue. "The problem is we have an inefficient county that desperately needs reform," he said. "I have skepticism about their solutions, but I think their concerns are legitimate. If Fulton County doesn't step up to the plate and reform, there will be a Milton County."
O'Hayer pressed Jones on the role of race and party identification in the push for separation from Fulton. "It's irrelevant," she said.
How so?
"It has no meaning. It'd be like if you said, What does this have to do with people coming down from Mars? It has nothing to do with the issue, that Fulton County is inefficient. I lived in Atlanta for 12 years. As long as I've lived in north Fulton. It didn't work then, and it doesn't work as a north Fulton resident," Jones said.
Abrams said that race doesn't belong at the core of the north Fulton complaints, and warned against "avoiding the illegitimate conversations that ignore some of the inefficiencies.
"However, I do think it it is impossible to ignore the conversations about race and class. Atlanta has one of the wealthiest populations in the state, and also the poorest," the Democratic leader said.
Last week, Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson – with all their Republican brethren – declared that nothing would move in the Senate's lame duck session until the matter of the Bush tax cuts was decided to their liking. Former Georgia senator Sam Nunn has this warning today in an AJC op-ed piece:
Delaying ratification of this treaty, or defeating it, to inflict a political defeat on the Obama administration would damage U.S. security interests and U.S. credibility globally. The Joint Chiefs of Staff, former Strategic Nuclear Commanders and our intelligence community leadership all have stated that the treaty is essential to our nation's security.
The ratification of New START will not solve all of our front-burner security issues. It will, however, make cooperation from other nations more likely and more effective and therefore enhance American security.
I am hopeful that the Senate will put our nation's security first by providing advice and consent to this important treaty.

If the members of Congress lived in the land of the living where most of us dwell they would be overwhelmed by the disdain and pure disgust so many of us feel for their actions. We have no leaders in Congress, only politicians. Former Senator Sam Nunn epitomizes statementship at its highest and his editortial should be mandatory reading for all of Congress. Sadly, even if they read it they wouldn't have a clue as to how their actions and bipartianship are been a major force in dividing this country into warring factions.
God help us as we move into the coming two years before the next election. The busiiness of the country will fall to the wayside as the self-serving politicians jockey for re-election.

Sure is nice of Sonny to include his wife in the portrait.
Wonder why King Roy didn't have Bobby Kahn peeping over his shoulder in his portrait.

What's wrong with that? In a couple of months Slippery Sonny will be the Ports Authority's largest contract hauler and will deliver more grain to the Port of Savannah than any other tucking business. Why shouldn't he be honored with a portrait. No Deal will somehow be the second largest contractor of some kind with them, but will have to wait until he gets out of jail before his picture is painted ……

The artist should not be paid. He forgot to add the captions: "What, Me Worry?" and "I'm With Stupid." Also the small open Merlot bottle was not included at the bottom right corner, symbolizing his 8 year administration's greatest legislative legacy — Merlot To Go.

Roy Barnes overplayed his hand with all of his millions. Maybe he can
take part of what is left and built him a replica of the mansion on
a farm pond in North Georgia. However, some of my greatest disappointments have turned out to be blessings in disguise.

I am glad that "Statesman Sam Nunn" didn't choose to become a part
of the DADT Washington political correctness fostered by the President
with Gates and Mullens. The MT had a great editorial today on this
issue. Folks still remember Nunn's position during Clinton's Administration.

Excessive hairiness, also known as hirsutism, is characterized by abnormal hair growth on areas of skin that are not normally hairy. Although the condition can affect both men and women, it usually only presents a problem to women.
Excessive hairiness tends to run in families, especially in families of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian descent. The excessive hairiness in children and women may be caused by pituitary or adrenal glands disorders. In addition, women may develop excessive hairiness after menopause. Anabolic steroids or corticosteroids, and certain medications, also may cause excessive hairiness.
Although diagnosis of excessive hairiness can be diagnosed with a medical history and physical examination. Finding the underlying cause for the condition may include blood tests.
Specific treatment for excessive hairiness will be determined by your doctor based on:
Your age, overall health, and medical history
Extent of the condition
Cause of the condition
Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, and therapies
Expectation for the course of the condition
Your opinion or preference
Treatment may include:
Removing the hair by shaving, plucking, waxing, depilatories, electrolysis, bleaching, or laser surgery
Medication (to control any underlying endocrine disorder)
Eflornithine is a prescription cream specifically used to slow down the growth of facial hair. It starts to work as soon as four to eight weeks after treatment is begun. The drug's possible side effects include skin irritation, a stinging sensation, and rash.

Police in San Francisco decide on a new tactic to stop iPhone theft. Undercover officers are walking down streets offering to sell iPhones they claim are stolen. The idea is to kill the market for stolen phones.
Apple's newly announced operating system takes on Android, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry. Here's how iOS 7 compares with what's already out there.
If the iPhone 5 has 4G LTE as expected, it probably won't be a high-speed free lunch, an analyst says.

The iPhone 3GS for AT&T is attractively priced at $49, but a slower processor, possible compatibility issues, and the inability to take advantage of newer features are some of the reasons consumers should give it a second thought.

Jordin Sparks has already said that she's open to the idea of marrying her boyfriend Jason Derulo , and things certainly look like they're heading in that direction: she's even bringing him home for the holidays.
Jordin tells People , "We make every single moment count together. He's even coming to my house for Thanksgiving. It'll be the first time that's happened."
Now, that would've sounded a lot more dramatic if Jason hadn't then chimed in with the news that Jordin "spent Thanksgiving at my house last year, so we're all pretty acquainted by now."
Moving on to music, the couple are each working on new albums, but they definitely plan to collaborate. "Jordin will definitely be on my album," confirms Jason, while Jordin adds, "Yes! And he'll be on mine." But what if the two end up going head-to-head on the charts? Well, Jason knows the right thing to say about that.
"She'll win," he tells People . "I'd buy a million copies of her [album] alone."

- my go-to restaurantmizmewmewDined on 9/20/2014When visitors come to town, this is where they--and I--always want to go. We've never been disappointed, never had a bad meal and always enjoy ourselves tremendously when we eat here. We all have our special favorites among the menu choices, but also like to try something new. I'm especially fond of the local farm-sourced menu, as are some of my guests. Also like the "new" menu arrangement, with everything available to look at (gluten-free, local farm, early-bird choices) in one place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very good all around!eatsoutalotDined on 9/19/2014Between the four of us, we had trout, salmon, scallops, and a pasta dish. The food was prepared just like we asked and it was delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. The noise level was a little loud because of several large parties, but we could still hear each other talk!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- OUTSTANDING BUT...JS2014Dined on 9/16/2014There was so much noise in the room with dishes clanking and people talking over the noise that the whole time was so loud that no conversation could be conducted. I did not feel like screaming at my lunch partners. The food was great tasting and the portions were large. The service was also very good. I made a reservation for lunch and I am glad that I did as the place was packed. My special requests for the table were met and I was very grateful for that.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- shot92Dined on 9/12/2014The Corvina special my wife had was excellent. The shrimp/pasta dish I ordered was very average.Special Features:
- ReviewDined on 9/7/2014They have an excellent menu - and they can prepare it well. Interesting wine menu. Prices are very correct. Probably best restaurant in the neighborhood. Fast service. Quality is quite constant. Sometimes they hit the sweet spot (e.g. their salmon on cedarwood and the Thursday special), but sometimes they miss the mark completely (e.g. tiramisu? (just cake with khuala), veal marsala (no marsala (?), just red sauce), undercooked veggies, use of canned instead of fresh fruit).Special Features:
- PignatelliDined on 8/27/2014Enjoyable experience all around. Highly recommended.Special Features:
- Great PastaRosieVIPDined on 8/19/2014Started with the Cheese Fritters & Bruschetta. Very Tasty. We ordered Cannelloni Al Forno (wonderful), Pasta Bolognese (great flavor), Cedar Roasted Sea Bass (Best) and Veal Marsala (okay). The bread was excellent. Our waiter was very helpful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A great birthday brunchBIRTHDAYDined on 8/17/2014It was my son's birthday and we had a greatl time. As expected, the food was good, but our server was special, so friendly and knowledgeable. We definitely will come back.Special Features:
- Not ImpressedElleDined on 8/12/2014Bread was delicious (probably brought in, but I really dont know that). Cheesecake for dessert was also delicious, but do know for a fact that it's made at a bakery and delivered. Eggplant parmagiana left a lot to be desired. Sauce too salty, eggplant slices were way too thin, so that you only tasted salty tomato sauce and breading. Wouldn't go back.

The bread and olive oil with spices served while we awaited our dinner was unique and heavenly. The tomatoes mozzarella salad was really delectable and a larger than expected serving. The prices were so great for a couple like us with 5 daughters trying to get away for a romantic dinner in a new city.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- CEO Roundtable GroupJimHDined on 7/14/2014Our group of ten has been having lunch at Amerigo's monthly (2nd Monday I wish that OpenSeats/Amerigo's allowed us to make lunch reservations for more than just party of four. of month) since Nero's closed. We are very happy with everything associated with the West End location and will continue dining/meeting there.Special Features:

- Good Italian in NashvilleBaseballMomDined on 7/6/2014Tasty Italian when we need a Change from BBQ, waitress was wonderful, seasonal specials were worth trying, I would go againSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SurorisedCeltictcDined on 7/6/2014Todays traveler runs across a multitude of so called "Italian" restaurants, most below average when it comes to the quality of the chef's fare. This visit was not the case. My request for something uncomplicated, but not on the menu, was quickly accepted and delivered with promptness while my wife's spaghetti bolognese was a rare treat for the flavor and the lightness of this version of a cream sauce. I would recommend this restaurant to locals and travelers alike.Special Features:
- Overall goodadmurrayVIPDined on 6/28/2014Food is good to very good. Service was inconsistent - water should always be filled and shouldn't have to ask for that.
- Worst AmerigoTfp53Dined on 6/26/2014We ate here 6/26/2014. All of waitperson's other tables across the room. She was nice but no service unless we waived at her. Second glass of wine ordered but not brought. Chicken piccata not pounded out. Chicken breasts full thickness. No caramelization. Less mushrooms and crab than at other locations. Less lemon flavor, less capers. This is not piccata. What is it? Bland chicken breasts plopped down on a plate of pasta. Just not good. We have eaten at the Memphis and Brentwood locations. They are much better. Do not judge Amerigo's by this restaurant.
- Veal?Italian2theBoneDined on 6/24/2014Recently went to Amerigos for our anniversary. I have always enjoyed it. This time was different. I had the Veal Parmesan as I usually do. The veal was gritty, not white as it should be and VERY salty. I was disappointed. My wife had the Sirloin and mashed potatoes and it was excellent.Special Features:
- AmerigoBobdineDined on 6/21/2014Wonderful and diverse menu, especially good for seafood of various sorts. Excellent pasta. Good wines. Excellent service and plenty of friendliness.Special Features:
- Wrong Dining SelectionOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/13/2014Wrong Dining Selection, was brought to our table to my wife, after appetizer, the manager came and asked my wife if the dinner selection was good, then after my wife politely said yes, he explained "well good, because that's the wrong course plate" my wife ordered chicken stuffed course, and they brought mushrooms entrée. he offered to provide an adjustment on the plate rather that simply removing the price, since it was there error, would be nice for one complimentary meal to return .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just like an old friendHappyDiner63Dined on 6/10/2014I've never been disappointed in any Amerigo's that I've visited. The food is always exceptional and the service is always excellent. I requested a quiet table for a business meeting and the staff was very accommodating. Everything was A+.I would recommend this to a friend.
- We had an enjoyable, excellent mealJimHDined on 6/9/2014Our group of retired business executives meet monthly and we had eight of us at Amerigo's for lunch. Our service was excellent, Lauren P, our server, took our orders without interrupting our conversation, made no mistakes and brought separate checks. (a pain for servers)Special Features:
- Classic Nashville GemFoodieVIPDined on 6/4/2014Amerigo does an outstanding job of keeping their classic dishes, but also rolling with the times. My fave is the ChickenMargarite.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A FindEastofNashDined on 6/4/2014For a pre-show meal before the TPAC it was perfect! Food delicious and having a gluten free selection was perfect for the other couple joining us. Both couples are new to the area and live east of town. This gives us a wonderful choice for coming to town, having a wonderful meal without all the "costs" of DT parking.

- This is NOT Italian and NOT goodNashvilleFoodieGirlVIPDined on 6/3/2014I can understand why people who aren't Italian or who haven't experienced authentic Italian cuisine would give this restaurant anything above one star. I disliked everything they brought out. The mussels were fishy, too salty, and the tomatoes in the broth tasted canned and lukewarm. The goat cheese and walnut salad was decent, but certainly not something anyone couldn't make just as well if not better at home. The lasagna was absolutely atrocious: too rich, appealing to the crowd that requires that everything be smothered under some kind of coagulated cream sauce. There was no depth of flavor in any of the elements, and the pasta was so overcooked it was more like lasagna pudding. For better Italian in this town, try Cafe Nonna.

- Taste things before sending out..FoodieDined on 5/31/2014Everything was too salty so I couldn't finished my food. I've eaten there before and it wasn't like that. Maybe new chef? Sweet tea was wayyy too sweet. Like diabetes in a glass. Even my kids complained about it. I didn't even order dessert Bc of these reasons. Love the ambience, wait staff was great. Food was great previous times. This time I just don't know what happened.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Have your stuff together for brunchEatwellDined on 5/18/2014If you have a brunch menu you should have the product available! Our party of four ordered and then the manager came over and advised three dishes were having to be altered as they were out of items. No croissants for the breakfast paninis and the confit chicken pizza would have a substation of grilled chicken. While he was accommodating and apologetic I was disappointed as these items should not be on the menu or of course we should have been notified when ordering. Considering a very limited bruch menu they should have all ingredients on hand or get out of the brunch business. I initially tried to order potatoes on the side with French toast and was advised no change allowed. I feel most prefer a side with French toast. Tried pizza.

Our food order (2 frittatas and 1 lasagna) took an extremely long time and we noticed that other tables (which had been seated after us) were being served before us. The manager came over and apologized and told us that the "egg station" was exceptionally busy. Then our waiter came over and assumed that the manager had told us the truth, which was that our frittata orders had been lost. They made no effort to appease us with a complimentary appetizer or dessert and did not reduce the final bill.Special Features:

MINNEAPOLIS, MN (UWSP) - The University of Wisconsin Stevens Point Men's hockey team is back in top 15 of USCHO.com poll. USCHO.com released its weekly men's hockey poll on Monday.
The UW-Stevens Point men's hockey team (12-8-1, 6-7-1 NCHA) is currently ranked No. 14. The ranking is the highest of the season for the Pointers who are 7-3-0 in their last 10 games. According to USCHO.com, UWSP has the toughest strength of schedule in the country, to date. The Pointers remain at home this weekend as they play host to UW-Superior on Friday night and St. Scholastica on Saturday night.
Saturday's contest has been tabbed as the fourth annual "Put a Check to Cancer Night." The program has raised over $12,000, to date, in support of local cancer patients. On Saturday, the first 1,000 fans will receive a commemorative pink rally towel. Faceoff for both games is slated for 7 p.m.


text: (WNFL) - Milwaukee Bucks' owner Herb Kohl says he'll find out in the next day-or-two whether the new floor at the B-M-O Harris Bradley Center can be used for the team's home opener. Kohl says a crew from the N-B-A is inspecting the floor today-and-tomorrow -- and the Bucks will then find out what has to be done to get the floor in proper playing condition. The Bucks will host Toronto on Saturday night -- and if they cannot use the new floor, Kohl says they'll bring back the one old. Bucks' officials said the league approved the new floor and its setting before this month's exhibition season. It was used for a game and a public practice before players from the Bucks and Toronto slipped on the surface last Friday night. It was so bad, the officials called the game off before the first quarter could be played. The Bucks heavily promoted the new floor during the past few weeks. It's a remnant of the much-beloved Robert Indiana floor that the Bucks played on during the 1970's-and-80's across from the Bradley Center in what's now known as the U-S Cellular Arena.

Before you take saquinavir, tell your doctor if you have liver disease, diabetes; hemophilia, or high cholesterol.
Many other drugs can interact with saquinavir. Tell your doctor about all medications you use. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor. Keep a list of all your medicines and show it to any healthcare provider who treats you.
HIV/AIDS is usually treated with a combination of drugs. Use all medications as directed by your doctor. Do not change your doses or medication schedule without your doctor's advice. Every person with HIV or AIDS should remain under the care of a doctor.
Taking this medication will not prevent you from passing HIV to other people. Avoid having unprotected sex or sharing razors or toothbrushes. Talk with your doctor about safe ways to prevent HIV transmission during sex. Sharing drug or medicine needles is never safe, even for a healthy person.

The cold weather Friday evening did not keep many from heading to Cable Car Square in downtown Dubuque. On Friday evening, Cable Car Square in downtown Dubuque was lined with a thousand luminaries. Those luminaries were used to guide Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus through Cable Car Square.
At 6 p.m. Friday evening, the couple rode down the Fenelon Place Elevator and were greeted by hundreds of people. It was all apart of the 37th annual Cable Car Square Christmas Candlewalk.
This year, the Candlewalk featured a cookie decoration table as well as a meet and greet with Santa and Mrs. Claus.
Connie Twining is co-owner of Outside the Lines Art Gallery. She says the Candlewalk is something many of the bluff street businesses help put together.
"It's an opportunity to get thanksgiving behind us and to look forward to that season, that Christmas season in a way that is not hurried or rushed. It's exciting and electric." Twining said.
The event also serves as a way to check out locally owned businesses along Bluff Street and in Cable Car Square.
Ellen Liberg is the owner of Fig Leaf in Dubuque. Her business recently located to Bluff Street. She says she is excited to be a part of this years Candlewalk.
"I am very excited," Liberg said. "I was outside earlier putting sand in my bags to get my luminaries out. It's going to be a lot of fun."
Liberg says she hopes the Candlewalk also allows people to visit her shops new location.
"I know that the families always have a hard time when kids are with them, but children are always welcome. I never mind having kids come into the store." Liberg said.
The event also featured Fenelon Place Elevator rides for the public.

The Space Needle, the world famous landmark in Seattle, Washington, recently launched a number of innovative new digital experiences to enhance the visitor's experience.
New tech lets us go from physical to virtual and back; how can this be applied to digital signage and kiosk solutions?
"Tablets have been touted as "reinventing" and "revolutionizing" retail. Retailers and consumer-facing businesses have been testing the use of tablets to gain operational and marketing advantages, and they like the results. Here are some ways retailers are getting big impact out of small screens."
Retailers offer self-service and assisted selling by incorporating tablets into stores.
Technology problems can be solved by turning away from "bring your own device" and toward purposed device deployment.
The best kiosk design is both art and science, leveraging aesthetic design practices together with effective technologies.
Public internet kiosks can be customized or standard, and can be ruggedized in order to accommodate the demands of heavy usage.
Given the costs involved with kiosk deployment, it's worthwhile to understand the psychology behind effective kiosk placement.
Shop.org, the online arm of the National Retail Federation, has shared recommendations with their audience in an "Open Letter to Retail CEOs." Their recommendations are on the subject of talent mix. Shop.org recommends that retailers hire/promote based on digital competencies and experience.
The new generation of kiosk technology has the power to disrupt our healthcare landscape in a good way, especially at a time when the effects of the Affordable Care Act are already being felt by patients and healthcare providers alike....
This infographic shows locations where apocalyptic backlogs of warm bodies are commonly found and gives examples of how businesses are using kiosks to combat them.
You don't know what you don't know. In a previous post, we discuss the value and need for testing the usability of your kiosks. If you are conducting usability testing via either observation of users or artificially staged research, you are ahead of the game.
You're in charge of adding a tablet to your exhibit booth. Sure it sounds easy, until you realize the many options that are available to you.
There is no doubt that technology has infiltrated our schools and I am happy that it did. I'm in my thirties, and the school I attended was vastly different from my nine-year-old's school.

Usability can make or break the success of any new website, application, or software. Also known as the UI (user interface) or UX (user experience), usability refers to the user's ability to successfully navigate a product in the manner intended to accomplish the desired tasks.
More than once over the past few years have I heard that the ever expanding functionality of smartphones will eventually make interactive kiosks obsolete. I think the continued growth of the kiosk industry is proving that statement wrong. On the...
As we begin 2014, many of us take a moment to reflect upon the previous year and anticipate the changes that the coming year will bring. While discussions of disruptive technologies, consumer behaviors, and Monday morning quarterbacking abound, I thought it might be informative to look at the data from a simpler view: Search Trends.

The U.S. Will Not Back Down
Osama Bin Laden was the greatest enemy of the United States in most people's eyes of this country. He and his organization vowed to kill millions upon millions of innocent people just to so their views could be supported. Al Qaeda has a twisted and archaic world view that does not fit in this day and age. Killing millions of people will not make people listen to you, it will not make your view popular, and it will not justify your actions. All it will do is make the next generation who survived the terror you spread want to end it and if that means ending you to do it then that will be the outcome. This new leader of Al Qaeda should be very afraid. But if he were smart he'd disband the organization and apologize to the people worldwide his organization has hurt, tortured, maimed, scarred, and murdered.

I suspect the issue of openness is broader and wider than just the physical realm of knowing and interacting with birthfamily. It has everything to do with attitude... an attitude of openness, leaving ourselves open to exploring the connections our children have to the9ir families and cultures of origin.
Our first adoption was closed. Back in the early 80s, adoption was almost totally closed. We had waited so long to adopt and were overjoyed with our son Jamie. I will never forget the first time I held him. As he grew, we learned to love him more and more. We had no real preparation for understanding birth family... we were given only general information, which we later found to be half-truths.
What happened to me was that I started to have a growing sense of emptiness... of missing a piece... a hole.. that's as close as I can come to describing it. At first, I didn't think too much about the woman who had given him life, or about what she was experiencing. We had heard conflicting stories from two social workers about his background and about the circumstances of his birth. We wondered what we would tell Jamie when he began to ask questions. In addition, I had gone to a post-adoption meeting where I heard all the adoptive mothers share how their children's birthmothers had left letters and presents for their babies. I had nothing for Jamie - not even accurate information. What would I tell him? My heart ached. I knew that anyone who had given life to such a wonderful child and had seen him would never forget, but I had no evidence to back up my feelings.
We wrote letters and left them in the file at the agency, but they told us they would not forward any letter unless the birthmother contacted them. Each day that passed, I felt a pang for all that Jamie's birthmother was missing.
We travel cross-country frequently and in the airports, I found myself looking at every young blond woman, wondering "Could she be the one?" I longed to find the one person who would resemble Jamie, to know her, and to thank her personally for the joy Jamie brought to our lives.
When we went to court to finalize the adoption, Jamie was almost two years old. Our attorney had the original birth certificate and, by mistake, I saw Jamie's birthmother's name. It was Mary K. I knew I would never forget it.
In August 1983, I decided to try to find Jamie's birthmom. The search was for Jamie and for his birthmother and for me. It was for Jamie so he could know the circumstances of his birth and background, and so he would grow up knowing he was loved by two mothers; it was for his birthmother so she could be a part of his growing-up years if she wanted, and so she could know Jamie was well and happy and loved; it was for me so the void within me would be filled. I yearned to know the woman who birthed Jamie and who looked like him. And, I am realizing now that I had fears too. If Jamie knew his birthmother, would I still be his mother too? Would the fact that he looks like her change our relationship?
The search itself was relatively easy. I knew she had been in a branch oft he military, and having been in the Air Force myself, I knew of the Worldwide Army Locator. After several calls across the country, I had the information I needed to request an address and I sent off my check for $2.85. About a month later, my check was returned with a note saying they needed her Social Security Number or birthdate to get an address. My heart dropped. I had no way of knowing these things. I got back on the phone and a few calls later, contacted someone who told me to write a note with the check saying I did not have that information. I sent off the note with the check and a month later, I was holding Mary's address in my hands. I was filled with excitement in spite of the fact that everyone except my husband thought I was crazy. "She'll come take Jamie back," they warned.
I wrote a tentative letter explaining that I knew this would be a shock - that we were the couple who had adopted her son. I told her how happy we were and how happy he was, and that we were willing to correspond openly with her if she wished. We waited with bated breath. And then the letter came. "YES!" She wanted to know us.
We began to exchange letters, information, and pictures. We came to know the true circumstances of Jamie's conception and birth. We received pictures of Mary and Jamie's birthfather. Yes, Jamie looks just like Mary! We came to know Mary as a loving, mature, and responsible young woman.
In April 1986, we met Sarah and Rob, the birthparents of our second child. As we came to know and love them, I realized that we had never talked with Mary about meeting. She was living in Minnesota and, besides, I was afraid. I was afraid she would think we were too old or too fat or would wish she had chosen someone else. I know these thoughts reveal my own insecurities, but this is the truth.
Sarah suggested we could offer to send a video and/or meet. We agreed. I wrote to Mary the next day. She responded that she didn't want to meet us at that time, but that she would like a video. At Easter, we took about an hour's worth of video and mailed it off. She was thrilled with the video and wanted to meet us. She would be coming to Monterey to visit her boyfriend and said she would call when she arrived.
We wondered how to prepare Jamie. He had always known he was adopted, so we told him Mary was coming and asked him if he would rather go to Monterey or have her come visit us in Palo Alto. "I want her to come here so I can show her my room," he declared. Her call came. I was shocked the first time I heard her voice. It was lower and stronger than I expected. We made plans to go to the zoo the next day.
Finally the dogs began to bark, alerting us to an arrival. I felt sick with excitement. As she came over the bridge to our house, we gazed at each - a moment frozen in time - strangers, yet intimately bonded. We hugged happily, as if long-lost relatives. Jamie was a little shy at first but was soon showing Mary his room and talking excitedly. Mary explained to us that she had refused to meet us at first because she was afraid she would "fall apart in front of Jamie and it would be bad for him. But when I saw the video, I realized here was a little boy I didn't know and I wanted to meet him."
I want to add that there are many challenges in an open adoption. Suffice it to say, what really surprised me was my mistaken notion that opening our adoption would save our son from grieving his loss. In this I was wrong again. While it did save him from having to search and did provide the benefits above, it did not change the fact that he was raised in another family. He still lost the relationships he would have had.
NOTE: For those in international adoptions, simply keeping the idea of birthfamily open will help; however, more and more families are choosing to open their international adoptions as well. For those who adopt from foster care where parental rights have been terminated, there may be the possibility to stay in touch with siblings, grandparents, or other family members. The child's safety must, of course, be the first consideration. We still visit with the birthfamily of our youngest child, however we only meet in public places and only with family members who are safe. Our daughter's birthmother is in a lock-down facility however we did visit her this past Mother's Day and it was a good visit for everyone.

What's the weather like up there?
I like to stand in the studio. I feel like I think better on my feet, both literally and figuratively. I feel more alert and, in a weird way, more confident. I can't really explain that last one, but I'm certain that it has nothing to do with my actual height. I'm not a tall fella. My license lists me as 5'10", but I am reminded every year at my annual physical that I ought to file that 5'10" under "yeah, you wish, Nick." At last measurement, I was 5'9 and somewhere between ¼ and ½."
So yeah, long rambling short, no one would ever ask me how the weather is up where I'm standing.
Normally I just stand on the floor…you know, like a person does. But today, for some reason, I decided to stand on the base of my studio stool for a little bit. It was incredible. I felt so tall, so powerful, so much more aware of the horizon.
"I'm king of the world! I'm stilts man! I'm in the circus!"
Then I realized that the base of the stool is only about 5 inches off the ground.
"I'm king of the world! I'm stilts man! I'm in the circus! I'm...wait…6'3"?"
It's so deflating to realize that plenty of people actually live in what I perceived to be extreme heights. I am so jealous. 6'3" people: please help out all of us shorties when "Snowicane Eric" arrives later today. You'll know 5 inches before we do.

Town Council Approves $44 Million In Spending
By: Laura M. Reckford
Published: 05/27/11
The Barnstable Town Council cut to the chase last night in a special meeting devoted to the budget. Without public comment or announcements, the council went straight to budget deliberations, and more than four hours later, they had approved about $44 million in department budgets.
Council members asked a wide range of questions of department heads, but when it came time to vote, all votes were unanimous in favor of passing the budgets, which were mostly level funded.
From the budget of the Department of Public Works, the council approved $8.7 million for the DPW General Fund; $2.6 million for the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund; $5 million for the Pollution Control Enterprise Fund; and $3.2 million for the Water Supply Enterprise Fund
The council approved $7.4 million for the Airport Enterprise Fund. The council also approved a transfer of $250,000 to increase funding for the construction of the aircraft parking ramp, a previously approved project with increased costs.
The Regulatory Services budget of $2.4 million was approved, as was the Growth Management budget of $887,000.
Jo Ann Miller Buntich, director of the Growth Management Department, received the most stern questioning of the night when Town Councilor James H. Crocker Jr. pressed her on whether grant funding that her department uses in part for staff support was being used to pay back the town for the telephone and heat services those staffers use. He said that since her department received a majority of its funding from the general fund, rather than generating its own income, he wanted to make sure the taxpayers were reimbursed.
Ms. Buntich responded that she was not sure if grant funds could be used for that purpose but that she would look into it.
She also said her staff had been reduced over the past several years to a point where she is concerned about the workload and she will be returning to the council in the future with a "staffing strategy."
In the Community Services Department, the following budgets were approved: General Services at $2.6 million; Golf Course Enterprise Fund at $3.1 million; Hyannis Youth & Community Fund at $2.8 million; Marina Enterprise Fund at $652,000; and Sandy Neck Park Enterprise Fund at $658,000.
The council also approved the Administrative Services Department budget, which includes the finance department, legal department, human services, assessing and information technology for a total of $5.4 million.
An $160,000 line item for Other Grants was approved, which includes a tourism grant and the Lombard Land lease.
Still to come at next week's council meeting are the remaining budget items, including the town council budget of $340,000 and the Town Manager budget of $573,000, as well as Debt Services and Employee Benefits and Insurance.
At the last council meeting on May 20, the council had approved budgets for the schools, police and libraries.

University of Illinois College of Business Master of Science in Technology Management (MSTM) Students using Advanced Analysis an Intellectual Property Analytics Platform by Innography in the Classroom.
Graduate school can be very stressful at times and one of the best ways to calm yourself before, after, or during these stressful times is food. Food is one of the best ways to calm down the nerves and relax, but its important that its GOOD food! During my 4 years here at the university, I was able to dine-in at many restaurants, and I want to share what I consider to be some of the gems!
The MSTM program brings in speakers from industry to help supplement what we learn in the classroom. The State Farm presentation gave me very valuable insight on why these company events are offered to students in the program. Read more to hear about my experience!
Learning the finer details of dinner etitquette can come in very handy for business dinners and everyday life. Read more about how the MSTM program prepared us for these future experiences!
Professor Avijit Ghosh is currently a Senior Advisor to the President of UIUC and Professor in the Department of Business Administration at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The MSTM Program is lucky enough to have him teach a course in our program and I was lucky enough to get a few minutes of his time for an interview!
NCSA is an incredible resource hub facilitating accelerated research and it's housed right on our very own campus at UIUC!
Many of the MSTM students are going through rounds of interviews with companies. Read about the event last month, the Business Career Fair, that kicked it all off!
In this post, I will talk about a fun day we had learning about 3D printing at the world's first College of Business 3D Printing lab!
Opportunities are plenty and it's hard to choose what to get involved with. I chose to go through the consulting forum at the beginning of the semester and I'm so glad I did! I'll share my experience with you and hopefully some advice for future students who want to participate.
The MSTM Program takes a trip and spends the day doing teambuilding exercises at Robert Allerton Park! We were forced to leave our comfort zones, but we made lots of new friends along the way. We also learned a little about ourselves and a lot about what it means to be part of a team!

What IF they did? It's no crime, but as was stated, it's a service to the readers of iLounge.
If you've spent any time here, you'd know they are pretty darn respectable on reviews, recommendations, etc.

why doesnt iLounge publish this in epub format?
Posted by reed on June 1, 2010 at 3:51 PM (CDT)
Because the text-heavy epub format is not suitable to a graphically intensive publication of this sort. It's sort or like asking why movies aren't published as MP3s - too much would be lost. PDF works until a better solution is available.

Not working for me via iPad safari, good reader or iTunes download. It loads up most of the text but only half of the images. In the case of iTunes it just doesn't load at all - screen goes black.
No issues with any of my professional journals and they're huge.
