Farewell and Best Wishes to Our Summer Interns
As summer comes to an end, we want to take a moment and thank our summer interns for all their hard work and dedication during their time with us.
This summer, we were fortunate to have, from left to right, Michelle Jean-Baptiste (a student at Howard Law School), Diana Villatoro (an undergraduate at University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Capital City PCS alumna), Vince Lampone (a graduate of the Harvard Kennedy School), Anna Powell (a graduate of Princeton University), Michelle Sczpanski (an undergraduate at Syracuse University), and Amelia Moorestein (a graduate of Georgetown Law Center) working alongside our staff. Emanee Baylor (not pictured, a student at Cesar Chavez PCS for Public Policy – Capitol Hill) also joined PCSB for a few weeks.
The DC Public Charter School Board's Internship Program offers undergrads, grad students, and recent graduates an opportunity to participate in the burgeoning charter school system of Washington, DC. Interns can apply for any team at PCSB, from Communications, Data Management and Analysis to Human Capital. Through their contributions to PCSB's work as an authorizing body and support system for the District's public charter schools, interns gain firsthand understanding of the public education system in DC. This knowledge, combined with professional experience, creates an opportunity to own part of the exciting and important work of PCSB.
Anna Powell, a Human Capital intern, had this to say about her internship experience:
"As a summer intern, I have felt privileged to be a part of the Human Capital team. Not only does my supervisor support me in pursuing meaningful projects, but she also offers me thoughtful professional guidance. As I look forward to grad school, I have an enriched perspective of the education landscape in a dynamic city like Washington. I also value the insight I have gained into the types of jobs available at an organization like PCSB. My internship has thus not only been an important learning experience, but it has also helped me as a young professional to begin discovering how my interests and strengths can lead to a meaningful career in education. "
The entire PCSB staff was impressed by their professionalism, enthusiasm and commitment that each intern displayed over the past months.

Charter Application Charter Application
Charter Founders: Lee Montessori PCS
"When you choose to form a school, you have the beginnings of an idea, but it isn't until you have something on paper that you really start to get an idea of how you will leverage the passion, skills, and experience of a team to achieve a shared vision for closing the achievement gap." Founders of Lee Montessori PCS
We were really excited after turning in our application. When you choose to form a school, you have the beginnings of an idea, but it isn't until you have something on paper that you really start to get an idea of how you will leverage the passion, skills, and experience of a team to achieve a shared vision for closing the achievement gap. Our application took this vision to a level of detail that forced us to answer the nitty-gritty questions: Can we afford to implement our model? How do we have a holistic plan that serves all of the students we want to serve? What's the best way to grow? How do we maintain sustainability?
The day we turned in our application to the DC Public Charter School Board (PCSB), we felt we knew our school. We didn't have a building, but we knew what it would look and feel like. We didn't have students, but we could see our scholars learning. And we hadn't hired teachers, but we could envision the talented individuals we would need to help us in our mission of closing the achievement gap for our students.
As a small founding group, we didn't have a lot of start-up money. We all pitched in to edit, review, copy, and assemble our more than 200 page application. The review process was difficult and somewhat arduous, but at the same time exhilarating, because our team was passionate about implementing high-quality Montessori programming. Because we wanted to ensure our application had sufficient detail, we worked long hours leading up to the day the application was due, but thankfully no all-nighters!
On May 20, 2013, PCSB approved our application. The Washington Post's Emma Brown said it best: "The two successful applicants for new charters are giddy after PCSB vote. I think I heard talk of champagne." We were proud to have external, objective validation of the strength of our plan and ecstatic to know we would start implementing our work.
We're very proud of our application and all the work done so far, but now we begin the hardest part. We have spent a lot of time doing outreach and project planning to ensure we have a strategy that will get us a school that, on the first day of school, is fully enrolled and staffed by the greatest teachers in the District of Columbia.
We're somewhat a case study in how perseverance pays off when designing a charter application in DC. We didn't realize how much was missing in our application last year until we went through the application process, but we knew we had a great idea that others would value, so we kept going.
Lee Montessori PCS, located in the Edgewood neighborhood in Ward 5, will open in August 2014 and serve 70 students in pre-kindergarten 3 through first grade and add a grade each year up to sixth grade.
Rocketship PCS Prepares to Launch
There has been much buzz over the past year about the expansion of Rocketship Education to our nation's capital. Community members and partners are excited about the possibilities that Rocketship's innovative personalized learning approach will bring to the Ward 8. In Woodland Terrace, a longstanding member of the community echoes this sentiment.
Ms. Juanita Britton, who owns and operates a local art gallery in the community, says she is "looking forward to the unique relationship between the Rocketship DC school and the community at large — particularly the Woodland Terrace community." Britton has worked in Woodland Terrace for years and has quickly become a supporter of Rocketship DC. Other Ward 8 community partners like Horton's Kids are also looking forward to building a strong partnership with Rocketship DC.
The building will sit on top of a hill looking out over a forest, part of a green way connecting the Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum to Fort Stanton Park to Fort Davis Park, all the way to Fort Dupont Park.
We're incredibly excited about the facility for our first school in DC. It will be our best facility to date, probably the best we will ever build. We are working to create a learning environment that is both an asset to the community and conducive to student learning. The two-story, 54,000 square foot building will feature a glass entrance, an outdoor terrace, two playground structures and incredible views.
"One of the unique assets of the site on Raynolds Place is the rolling forested landscape. It's the driving force behind the campus design," explains Harrison Tucker, Rocketship's Facilities Project Manager.
"The cafeteria, learning lab, outdoor gathering space, playgrounds and southern-facing classrooms will all enjoy spectacular views of the trees and hills. There will even be a nature trail within the campus grounds for the students to enjoy the natural landscape in an urban setting. We are very excited about this 3.87 acre site and this design for Rocketship's flagship DC campus."
After meeting with families and community members for more than I year, I know Woodland Terrace is a small community of families who truly want the best for their children. Our goal is to create a flagship Rocketship school in this community that is a source of pride and excitement for adults and students alike.
In this spirit, we are asking community members to weigh in on the design of our outdoor front entrance seating area. We also want community input on a mural to be featured on the front of the gymnasium. The neighborhood feeling a sense of ownership of the school is a top priority for us. We want to provide another high-quality option that not only achieves academically, but that also connects with the community.
Barry lives in DC where he's been working to engage the community before we open our first school. Prior to his work at Rocketship, Barry was the Director of School Services at Metro TeenAIDS. He earned his BA in Psychology with an emphasis on Family and Child Development from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and his MA in Elementary Education from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. When he's not working, Barry enjoys mentoring, all things Tar Heel basketball and eating great food.

|Hello all,
We have a washable custom size filter, and our ac/heating guy told us because of my dh's allergies should order disposables and also a uv light. The size of the filter is 29.25 X 15.25 X 1. Can people suggest where they purchase custom filters from (I know I have to buy a year supply)? Also whether uv lights really work? and if so what type is the best? Our AC is the Amana Comfort Maker and the heater is a HeatTemp Star - not sure if this is needed. Obviously I don't know much about any of this :-)
Follow-Up Postings:
|Two different things
Disposable filters can be purchased at lowes, wal- mart, etc.
A dealer would need to wire and install a uv light
For info, look at ultravation. Just put it in your web browser and go to their site
- Posted by theboneskes (My Page) on Tue, Feb 15, 11 at 11:42
|UV light do work! We have had one in both of our last two houses. I would clean the ducts, and install a single tube UV light, there are some inexpensive ones on Ebay( less than 100) and they work great! We use Filtrete Ultra allergen filters, dont skimp on filters, use the best you can afford! But, dont pay for stupidity either... We are looking at installing a Trane or American Standard air cleaner now...
|ARe there any independent case studies that show significant benefits to UV in ducts?
|Uv lights have a purpose in a hvac system.
The air is moving far too fast for he uv light to have any effect in the actual airstream of a hvac system.
The real place for a uv light to be effective would be where the light can be directed onto the evaporator coil if one has a/c that is.
The evaporator coil drain pan must also be uv resistant otherwise you can cause problems to the drain pan in your coil.
be carfull about putting more restrictive filter into your filter rack than what you hae now without checking it out with contractor. You could do damage to your heat pump or a/c with a more restrictive filter
Here is a link that might be useful: Hvac-talk.com

|Filters are easy to find and UV lights do work - some have power sources that adapt to 115v making install a breeze. We like the Triatomic APCO product.

The Obama administration says the pace of health insurance signups picked up in November. But that's not necessarily good news.
The new national total of close to 365,000 people as of Nov. 30 is less than one-third the number officials had been aiming for prior to the launch of HealthCare.gov. The balky website has improved but still has some service problems. A report from the Health and Human Services Department says that more than 137,000 have enrolled in the 36 states served by the federal website, up from fewer than 27,000 in October. The 14 states running their own sites enrolled more than 227,000 people, up from 79,000. Originally the administration estimated 1.2 million would enroll by the end of November. The real enrollment crunch is just about to start. (AP)

I wonder which way you turn, and I wonderDoes it fall? Does it always fall?

PixieI never had enough faith in you,my best postmodern pixie friend,who presses herself against my shoulderkilling her fall with leaning.You taught me something newabout anxiety today: how to wakeup when it's morning, how to miss dactylic illness with the parched indelicacy of a crinkled sun. In the eternal rendition you sayyour name is always in the vocative case, and only vocative:says the girlwho taught a smaller girl to sing,a girl of thirteen, with the samenimble character we shared, the samecalderical eyes we shared. The girl's voice tumbles out of its weakness:a chaotic calling out to the deltaic rush of rain, a grimy smoker's howl: monadic, suffering, freshand intimate.

Roanoke Police make arrest for malicious wounding
From Roanoke City Police: On August 27, 2014 at 10 p.m. Roanoke Police were dispatched to a disorder call in the 2000 block of Mountain View Terrace SW. While responding to the call, officers were advised that the call had been upgraded to a gunshot wound. Officers found the victim, a 38-year-old man from Roanoke, on the sidewalk with what appeared to be a single gunshot wound. The victim was transported to Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital with a non-life threatening injury. Several witnesses provided officers with a suspect description. Responding officers located an individual nearby matching the description of the suspect in the shooting. He was positively identified by witnesses, arrested, and subsequently interviewed. The weapon suspected to have been used in the shooting was recovered. The suspect was identified as Marquis Deshay Staples, age 19, of Roanoke. After further investigation officers charged Staples with malicious wounding and use of a firearm in commission of a felony. He was taken to Roanoke City Jail.

Testimony wraps up in McDonnells' corruption trial
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) _ Testimony has wrapped up in the public corruption trial of former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and his wife, Maureen. Closing arguments are set for Friday morning. The last witness Thursday was an FBI agent who testified that the McDonnells were together 90 percent of the nights during the 22 months that were the focus of the investigation. The testimony is intended to undercut a defense claim that the McDonnells' marriage was so fractured they couldn't have engaged in a conspiracy. The McDonnells are charged with taking more than $165,000 in gifts and loans from former Star Scientific Inc. CEO Jonnie Williams in exchange for promoting his company's dietary supplements. Williams testified under immunity that he spent lavishly on the McDonnells only to secure their help. McDonnell denied criminal wrongdoing.

Kendall Skye is a huge fan of the Denver Broncos, and the WWE developmental wrestler even took the journey to New Jersey to watch her favorite NFL team play in the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, they were soundly dominated and defeated by the Seattle Seahawks, though.
Prior to becoming a star in professional wrestling, Ahmed Johnson, whose real name is Anthony Norris, played middle linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys for two seasons (1990 and 1991). He wasn't a big star, nor did he receive a lot of playing time, so he's not remembered by too many NFL fans.
After playing football collegiately for the University of Miami and professionally for the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League, Lex Luger made his way to the NFL when he signed with the Green Bay Packers. Unfortunately, though, he never played a single regular season game for the team.
For Throwback Thursday, Ezekiel Jackson posted a picture of himself on Instagram, where he is posing with former NFL star Bart Scott. The two of them are standing on the streets in Las Vegas.
"I heard him say a good line, he didn't make a play he made 'the play', which in his own right, that's awesome, I enjoyed that. But his whole remarks about Michael Crabtree being mediocre, he kinda just buried himself to me. You're the best cornerback in the game and they're putting you on a mediocre receiver? You only made one play on a mediocre receiver? Which I think he, if he understood the psychology of smack talk, he would build up that receiver and then put himself over even more. You know, 'I'm going against this all-pro bad ass wide receiver, but guess what, I'm the best corner back in the game. I'll lock down anybody."
- Roman Reigns on NFL star Richard Sherman
"I don't think you have to be a Mensa member to figure out that it had an influence on decisions that were made. I was working with the developmental kids in NXT and enjoying that, and got called in for that job. It was a very unique night, to say the least. Ric Flair was coming off maybe the most traumatic time of his life. Reid Flair had recently died of a drug overdose. In hindsight, it might not have been the most timely booking, to get him in that environment. And then you can look at the other side and say maybe it's a good thing to get him out around friends. As it worked out, you'd probably lean more to the former than the latter. But here's the deal. I was conductor of a runaway train. I was supposed to keep it on the tracks and that didn't happen. So I don't have any issues taking responsibility. Did I envision that it would help facilitate my exit? No. But I could see the thinking behind it."
- Jim Ross
DeSean Jackson was recently robbed of $250,000 in cash and jewelry, so Steve Austin has offered him a helping hand. The former WWE star told the Philadelphia Eagles star to send him his personal information, and he will hook him up with a Fort Knox safe.
In an interesting move, NFL AM had the Bella Twins on the show this morning, and the twin WWE divas discussed the Philadelphia Eagles.
"Another thing Bill DeMott said at the WWE camp is that WWE retrained Daniel Bryan or he wouldn't be as good as he is today."
"At the WWE camp, Bill DeMott said nobody on the indies is as good as NXT guys. I'd LOVE to debate Bill DeMott on what he thinks "good wrestling" is."
Vince McMahon is a big fan of reality television shows, and he wants that on the new WWE Network. Many are speculating that Tough Enough could be one of the first shows added, especially after Bill DeMott posted a teaser message on his Twitter account.
Triple H and Bill DeMott extended an invitation to Diamond Dallas Page to visit the performance center, and the former WCW champion has decided to take them up on that offer.
Despite all the abuse allegations towards him earlier this year, it does not appear that WWE will be firing Bill DeMott as their lead trainer.
"It was getting tough to not be a part of it. It took me a long time to become a part of WCW, even though I was there six and a half years. That last nine months to a year, I became part of the company where I contributed more than just doing basic stuff. It was getting tough. Then I got to go to (a developmental camp in) Cincinnati, which was good because I got to help the younger guys come up. Then my house shows started tapering off, and no TV because the creative team has a lot to handle. You're not forgotten about, but they have to deal with the weekly product. So that was the toughest part. When you feel like you can go, and you're sitting. You just want to be part of it. I can't see myself doing anything else."

His only weakness is their greatest strength
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson comes the first book in a new action-packed series—Steelheart.
Brandon Sanderson has been hailed as one of the greatest fantasy authors working today. He is the author of A Memory of Light, the final book in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, which debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list.
Ten years have passed since an explosion in the sky gave select people extraordinary powers. Known as Epics, these new super-humans began a war that fractured the world. Steelheart, the most powerful Epic, seized what was once Chicago and turned the entire city into steel. He is impervious to bullets, unaffected by fire, and apparently invincible. Nobody fights back except for a small band of revolutionaries known as the Reckoners.
"Fantastic! The suspense is relentless and the climax explosive, with a resolution that I'll be thinking about for a long time."
--James Dashner, New York Times bestselling author of the Maze Runner series
"Unfortunately for my ego, Steelheart is another win for Sanderson, proving that he's not a brilliant writer of epic fantasy, he's simply a brilliant writer. Period."
--Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times bestselling author of THE NAME OF THE WIND

The Gift of Change: Spiritual Guidance for a Radically New Life (Hardcover)
This Book Is Not Sold Online - In Store Special Order Only
Special Order - Subject to Availability
"The only way to gain power in a world that is moving too fast is to learn to slow down. And the only way to spread one's influence wide is to learn to go deep. The world we want for ourselves and our children will not emerge from electronic speed but rather from a spiritual stillness that takes root in our souls. Then, and only then, will we create a world that reflects the heart instead of shattering it." --from the Introduction
In this honest and uplifting book, bestselling author Marianne Williamson delves deeply into the powerful role of change in our lives today. Far from being something to fear and avoid, she says, every change -- even the most difficult and painful -- gives us an opportunity to receive the miraculous gift of personal transformation. The only real failure in life, she observes, is the failure to grow from what we go through. We will find real growth when we reorient ourselves using an eternal compass of spiritual principles, which alone can guide us on this path to wholeness.
By fixing our eyes on the things that don't change, Williamson leads us across ten key bridges of transformation: From Forgetting Who We Are to Remembering Who We Are From Negative Thinking to Positive Love From Anxiety to Atonement From Asking God to Change the World to Praying That He Change Us From Living in the Past and Future to Living in the Present From Focus on Guilt to Focus on Innocence From Separation to Relationship From Spiritual Death to Rebirth From Your Plan to God's Plan From Who We Were to Who We Are Becoming
These ten simple but profound changes empower us to see life's transitions as opportunities for growth and rebirth, providing not only keys for shaping ourlives today, but also hope for transforming our world into a place of greater love and peace.
Praise for The Gift of Change: Spiritual Guidance for a Radically New Life…
"[Williamson's] voice is strong medicine for our woundedness, warmth, insistence, good humor, and a little light to see by."
-Anne Lamott, author of Traveling Mercies
"Williamson takes her readers seriously enough to ask serious attention of them and to offer them much in return."
-Harold Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People
"Williamson challenges us to live in the present moment . that it can be a portal to the miraculous."
-Spirituality and Health magazine
"[From] one of our most profound teachers of transformational wisdom, this book is truly a gift to the world."
-Wayne W. Dyer, author of The Power of Intention
"Marianne Williamson challenges us to dive beneath the slick surface of our everyday life to encounter-and embrace-what frightens us most."
-Body & Soul
"Never has a society needed this wisdom and guidance more than now."
-Caroline Myss, author of Sacred Contracts and Anatomy of the Spirit

Letters Extra
The question of the so-called shortage of priests, as with other issues presented to us, can be approached by seeking immediate and short-term solutions. This, I believe, would entail "managing decline", whereas what we are facing is something long-term and systemic and therefore more to do with ongoing conversion than tinkering with an ailing machine. The division of the Church into a dominant clerical Church over/against a second-class lay Church can no longer be sustained.
Regarding our basic parish communities I believe the effort to maintain our smaller communities is in the short term, very worthwhile and possible with greater preparation of leadership in these communities: the Church is after all a community of faith. In the long term, however, we have to look at the whole governance of the Church, often seen as written in stone, but far from it if we study our own history. The lack of persons in the community deputed to lead us in the celebration of the Eucharist has gone on far too long and is an unnecessary scandal, but also a symptom, not the heart, of the challenge we face.

Re: 'Suggestions vis a vis married priests:
a] Suggestions are far removed from derogation let alone abrogation of celibacy rule since apostolic times:
b]Bishops could provide a variety of short and long term suggestions[eg. Deeper faith renewal in dioceses.
c]More vigorous vocation programs.
d]Improvement in Authentic Doctrinal formation.
e] Regular Diocesan Vocation Prayer/Fating days for vocations etc.
[Remember suggestions are not necessarily 'sensus fidelium' of 2000 years conformity to magisterium versus ecclesial suggestion boxes]

Phoenix Suns enjoy brief break, ready to resume playing
Originally published: Dec 9, 2013 - 4:55 pm
"I don't know when was the last time we got two days off," said guard Goran Dragic, who spent the extra time with his family, putting up the Christmas tree and hanging lights outside the house. "It was fun."
Forward P.J. Tucker, after watching his alma mater Texas fail to win the Big 12 football title, attended the Pac-12 Championship Game to root on the hometown Arizona State Sun Devils.
"It was a bad day all around," he said. "It was a pretty bad day, but it was fun though."
Tucker appreciated the break.
"I think mentally for the guys to get a couple of days off, refresh a little bit, get ready for this little Christmas stretch, it's kind of needed sometimes," he said.
Explained Hornacek, "To me, I like the mental days -- just to get away from basketball so you can come back and play and you're excited to play. It doesn't turn into a job."
Players and coaches reconvened Monday for a spirited two-hour practice, which included a 5-on-5, full-court scrimmage.
"Good to get after it," Tucker said. "We hadn't played each other and really got after it in a while, so it was good to definitely go after each other a little bit today."
Of course the play was sloppy at times, but all in all, Hornacek was pleased.
"You can't expect that they're going to be really sharp after two days off. The thing you wanted was the effort and us to get up and down the court and they did that," he said.
A quarter of the way through the season, the Suns are 11-9, ninth-best in the Western Conference. They'd be in fourth place if they played in the Eastern Conference.
"The West is really tough. The East -� I don't know what's going in the East," Dragic joked. "I feel like we could have a couple more (wins), but I'm still satisfied with that record. We're playing well."
The Suns have won two straight and four of their last six. They have not had a three-game winning streak all season.
A sixth attempt at a season-high three wins in a row will be made Tuesday at the Staples Center against the L.A. Lakers, which begins a run of games against the Pacific Division. The Suns will play six of their next 10 games within their own division.
"The culture of the team and everybody just sticking together and fighting together, it's really starting to show now," Tucker said. "Even when we have a couple of bad losses, guys are coming back the next game and fighting and playing hard. That's all you can ask for. I'm excited."

Getting Pregnant
Labor and Delivery
Baby and Beyond
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone can give me some tips/experiences with hiring a doula. Specifically, what kinds of questions do you ask when interviewing one? And I'd also be interested in hearing your experiences in working with one, if you have before or are currently!
I am not sure yet whether I'm going to go that route or not, but its something I've been seriously considering. The biggest factor is, of course, cost- we're in a bit of a tough spot financially right now so I don't know if we'll have the money for one. But, DH did recently start a new job after being laid off for a month+, so hopefully that will help us out.
With DS, I didn't really consider it because I'm kind of an isolative person and kind of awkward with new people lol, and didn't want to deal with that on top of being in labor. But looking back, I really think I could have benefited from having someone there who was more involved, and trained in providing comfort measures. I am absolutely looking forward to going to the birth center this time vs the hospital- but I am also really nervous about the labor because I remember how much pain I was in with DS (even though it was only at the end!) and that I couldn't handle it and got an epi. DH was there of course, but he kind of just didn't really know what to do and was more on the sidelines so to speak.
And that makes it more tricky this time around, because I'm just not feeling a lot of support coming from him through this pregnancy. He's way more detached than he was last time around. Maybe distracted is a better word- I know he has been stressed about losing his job and having to find another one. But it just feels like he isn't as involved... it was only recently that he gave me any feedback about name ideas, he doesn't care at all when I ask him opinions about baby's furniture or bedding, he hasn't helped me one bit with getting the room ready (I've been scraping wallpaper glue off and scrubbing the walls, and will paint the room all by myself and its taking forever). He's going along with hypnobabies because I want to, but I don't think he really wants to lol. When I try to talk to him about anything related to the baby or birth he just kind of shrugs; its like pulling teeth to get him to talk to me about anything! So, I think that might be another thing that's leading me to want to hire a doula. I know I am going to need all the support I can get, but I'm just not feeling a lot of that coming from him and it makes me nervous about the birth. But at the same time, I don't want to isolate him further or "replace" him- I just want some extra support. Maybe she could even help get him more involved?
Ok wow- sorry that went off onto a big DH rant, didn't mean for it to go there. But, if anyone has any tips or advice I'd love to hear it!

I think you need to address DH's feelings with him before you can solve the rest. The fact that he has begun a new job is your opening. You can ask him to talk about his feelings about baby #2 now that he is employed, keeping in mind that he may be very nervous about his responsibilities and money. I think you should do what you can on your own in terms of baby's room, and certainly, I'd not pressure him with details of paint color and names. From my point of view, that can wait quite a while. If you need to talk about those things, start with family or friends and give him time. Baby won't mind waiting! Talk to him just enough to make sure he is not feeling excluded. This may be a relief to him, but you must ASK first.
There are things which may be especially important to you, and those I think you must communicate to him. Do not overload him though. If you are feeling lonely and as though he does not care about you or baby#2, then this must be shared. Also, if he feels that he is not needed at the birth, that he is stronger with a 2 year old than with a newborn, listen to his thoughts and concerns. Perhaps you would want to work with a counselor rather than have a doula at this time.
Having a support person can be a husband, a paid doula, a Mom or special friend. A doula in training can also be a less expensive way to go. Supportive midwives at the birth center who are knowledgeable about hypnobabies may be all you need.
In terms of my own experience, DH was not knowledgeable or terribly supportive. He couldn't be bothered learning about the process and wasn't at all sure he wanted to be present. (That was 40 years ago) Once the children reached about 6 months of age, he became an excellent father though!
With DD's home births, her midwives were both very good and her DH was super supportive, better than any doula I'm sure.
You have time to work on these issues. Don't be in too much of a rush to control everything yourself. Baby will be fine without a decorated room, without a name even for a little while. Baby won't be as happy without contented parents. So I'd work on that.

I can't for the life of me remember what I asked mine...but she covered a lot, that I would be sure to ask if it didn't get reviewed...
* fees, including deposit, payment plans, etc.
* cancellation policy/what if she doesn't get there in time before you give birth
* will she meet you at home to labor or just at birth center/hospital
* any experience with hypnobabies (or other classes/methods)
* does she have a back up and what are the policies surrounding that
* does she have references
* how long will she stay with you...I know ours stayed the whole time during labor/delivery and then an hour or two afterwards to help with nursing
* how many in person meetings and over the phone consults will you have with her. ours was at least one prenatal in person meeting (since i hired her at 34 weeks, we only had time for one in person meeting), unlimited consults by phone with at least weekly check ins by phone in the last weeks leading up to delivery
* does she charge if you call her to come and she comes when it is a "false alarm"
* maybe what kind of "supplies" she brings if she doesn't mention this - my doula brought a ball, massage stuff...other stuff might include hot packs...we provided our own lotion in a scent that was calming to me and a massage tool
* if it is a long labor, does she take breaks or call back up doula if necessary
hmmm...can't think of anything else right now...
I know when we hired ours, she happened to be the first to reply to my email...when we met, I just knew that she was a good fit for me, personality wise...just got a good feeling, if you know what I mean. So we didn't end up interviewing any others...and since it was late in the game for me, that was a good thing that I connected with the right person!
anyway, like gardenbug mentioned if you can find a doula in training, you could get free or low cost services...some doulas do provide discounts if it will be a finanacial hardship for you to hire them at their usual rate...or like mine did, you can pay in increments (since you still have some time, you could definitely spread out the payments to make it more manageable)
We didn't get a doula last time b/c I wanted it just to be DH and I. Well....once back labor hit and DH was having to do everything himself, I knew right then a doula (or other support person) was going to be at our next birth!!! But I've been very, very clear every time I've talked about getting someone that basically that support person will be there to support DH. DH will be the main support and will guide the doula into which way we want. Of course we want the doula's suggestions when we get to a point, but if all goes ok, we want the doula to just support DH.
I have a doula in training that needs so many births before getting her certification and is doing a a few births for free, so we're going to meet with her. She worries me since she's so black and white with her opinions (which I normally like with people) and I'm afraid she's going to want to control the situation too much. BUT that being said, I have no problem telling her to back off or just leave. I think she'd be fine b/c she's so wanting to get this certification and has to have the births to do it, so we'll see.
I've not been impressed with the doula's I've met so far. None seem to "fit" So we're considering having just a couple of support people if none of the doula's work. But we're starting now and sending them videos (homebirth, gentle birth, natural birth, etc.) and making them watch "The Business of Being Born" and other things of that nature to understand what we are trying to achieve.
And definitely ask any doula you talk to about financial assistance!
I think the most important thing you need to know is if you feel comfortable with her or not.
That said, since you are doing hypnobabies, you want someone who either has experience with it or is interested in learning. Sometimes doulas don't buy into hypnobabies and take it upon themsevles to try to prepare you for labor, and that is not their role. Her philosophy of birth is important to you. So, be sure you ask about that.
Too bad you live on the other side of the country--I'm looking for births for my certification and not having much luck (and I am doing them for free)

My blog: Birth Unplugged
I knew from the start my DH wouldn't want to be involved (because of going the HB route), maybe I shouldn't say he wouldn't "want" to be involved but the less I "need" him the more comfortable he'll be... if that makes sense. Paying for one is all on me, and I'm a SAHM with a side-WAHM/online thing so I had to find someone who was in a price range that I could come up with funds for. I had a very hard time and emailed everyone I could first to get an idea to prices and realized I can't pay someone $600! As much as I'm sure they are totally worth it, since we have a $5,000 deductible (with mat coverage) DH's paychecks go towards that (and the mortgage and everything else). I had just about given up then I had 1 more interview, she was in my price range, but we didn't click. I joined a local mom's group and low and behold, there was a doula in training (since then she's become certified) and she was in my price range! We hit it off and so far it's been working out well.
I think the biggest thing is to find someone who's in your range and who you feel comfortable with. You can always ask if they do payment plans (many do) or if they'd be open to bartering with you. I'm planning a HypnoBabies birth, doing the tracks on my own because DH won't do them with me (and I'm not making him). My doula used HypnoBirthing with her last daughter so she has a general idea, but in all honesty, I haven't been very good about doing the tracks so who knows how good I'll even be at it.... I might just utilize having a doula and that extra comfort/support.
PP have covered your doula questions I think, but I wanted to comment on your comments about DH. I just want to let you know that my DH was quite detached about this second baby at first. I had to sit down with him and figure out what was going on. For my DH it was two-fold: Money & worries about having two kids under 2 years old. It was very much worth it to talk to him about it and he's been much more supportive and helpful since. Your DH might just be worried about something that he hasn't been able to talk to you about yet. Give him some time, and then sit down with him to let him vent/talk. I'd wait until your son is in bed and DH is in a good mood before trying to address. good luck!!

I would suggest getting a doula who is knowledgable on hypnobabies. If you go to http://hypnobabies.com you can find a doula trained in hypnobabies. A doula in training will cost you less money. Best of luck to you!

Caled, caleb, Caleb. See where I stopped your quote, above? Yup, that's right; I stopped it at the word "translation".<quoted text>So, liar, cite just one Bible translation
Many others have already detailed why you Biblical perspective is myopic and wrong. You simply trust the translations that you have, rather than looking at historical perspectives and ancient languages.
THAT'S why you're a simpleton and a Bible parrot.
You use the Bible as a means to bash others. You have no interest in truth; you're only interest is piety and hate.

The Missoula Rural Fire District is asking for a $440,000 mill levy to fund six firefighter positions.
Rural Fire officials said the levy would allow the department to have at least two full-time firefighter/EMT's respond to an emergency during peak call hours.
The six firefighter positions, which are currently filled, were previously funded by a federal grant expiring in September.
There are currently 40 full time firefighters at the district.
Chief Bill Colwell said, "The ultimate goal is to make sure that we can provide the best service possible, so that we can mitigate injury, so we can be effective in auto accidents, effective in rescues."
The mill levy would increase taxes by $26.29 per year on a home valued at $200,000.
The levy will be on a ballot on May 6.
The Rural Fire District serves about 38,000 residents across 98 square miles.

PONTIAC Ś TheyÆre diving for loose balls, colliding with each other, complaining to the referees and even engaging in a little jaw-jacking among themselves when the occasion presents itself.
But these arenÆt young whippersnappers playing the role, theyÆre grown men well into their 30s, 40s and even 50s, playing hoops the hard way with weary bodies but able minds.
This is the eight-team Craft-Tee Athletics Fall 35-over basketball league, where those who feel they still have game, go out and play.
Each Tuesday, they get together at the former Boys and Girls Club on Columbia Ave. in north Pontiac for four fast-paced games under modified high school rules.
Teams play two 20-minute halves with a running clock. Each player is allowed six fouls and halftime is only three minutes.
The action is fast and furious, yet controlled on all fronts. ōWe have zero tolerance on profanity,ö said Troy Craft, league director, who requests referees to enforce the rule.
Teams such as the Flintstones, who travel from Flint and include such players as former Oakland University star Pierre Dukes (Grand Blanc) and NBA baller Charlie Bell (Michigan State), BFC Church and Team Woodmore, headed by former Avondale High star Kevin Woodmore, are among those who are playing, along with former Eastern Michigan standout James Head, who played with the NBAÆs Earl Boykins on the EaglesÆ squad which upset Duke during the 1996 NCAA tournament.
Chris Riley, Jamar Antwine and Will McDonald, former Pontiac Central stars, and others are still shooting the rock and banging big bodies under the boards.
Some have graying temples and some are closing in on 60, including Renford Townsend, 56, the oldest player in the league. But basketball is the outlet for fitness.
ōIÆm (just) trying to stay in shape,ö said Quintin Hardiman, 49.Ā ōAs you get older, you got to learn to be a role player. I check the big man. I put on my two knee braces and get my linament on (and) IÆm ready.ö
Kevin Owens, 52, who wrestled at Pontiac Northern, has always played recreation ball, even as the years have affected the body. ōItÆs pretty hard,ö he said, ō(but) its fun still if you like to play.ö
Craft honed his skills with the Pontiac Recreation Department, a vibrant part of community with an array of available sports programs until about a decade ago when the city fell on hard financial times and began cutting those programs.
ōI was one of the last ones to run their league,ö said Craft, who gained guidance from Portia Fields, a former recreation department administrator, and struck out on his own. ōShe helped me out.ö
Craft has been running leagues for youngsters for years using outdoor basketball courts when other city-owned facilities, because of increased rent costs as well as closures, became unavailable.
But he got a boost when Starlin Stevens, a former CBA player, came into the community and purchased the old Boys and Girls Club building.
ōWhen I was coming up, I had people mentoring me and you had places like this,ö said Stevens, who grew up in Saginaw. ōI just want to give back.ö
Stevens, 44, who grew up in a single-parent household, played basketball at Oakland Community College, and Wisconsin-Stevens Point before landing with the Flint Fuse of the CBA.
Surprisingly, he never played organized basketball in high school because he was busy taking care of his mother, the late Carolyn Simpson, who contracted multiple sclerosis when he was nine years old.
ōI didnÆt have (much) food andĀ it was kind of rough,ö said Stevens, who moved to the Pontiac area about 20 years ago to be closer to relatives, including his cousin, Edwin Watson, a former football and wrestling standout at Pontiac Northern and standout at Purdue University.
His half-brother, Marcus Simington, 36, also helps with basketball related activites at the building as both ultimately want to infuse education and academic preparation for youngsters.
ōIf we can start at the top, it can trickle down to the kids,ö said Stevens.
As far the older menÆs league, thereÆs still more basketball to play. The regular season ends Nov. 19 and single elimination playoffs are scheduled for Nov. 26, all at the former Boys and Girls Club facility.

Ubuntu's SPARC & IA64 Ports Have Been Killed
Published on 18 August 2010 12:27 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
21 Comments
A few months back we reported that
the IA64 and SPARC versions of Ubuntu were in trouble
and would be decommissioned if no individual(s) were to step-up and maintain these ports of Ubuntu Linux for these architectures that are much less popular and common than x86 and x86_64 hardware. Well, there still is no one backing the Intel IA64 and Sun SPARC versions of Ubuntu Linux so they are being dropped completely.
The deadline for anyone to take over the work of maintaining these Ubuntu ports was the Maverick feature freeze, which passed last week, and the Ubuntu Technical Board has approved decommissioning this support entirely and dropping SPARC/IA64 from the Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" kernel.
Confirmation of this decision to end the Intel IA64 and Sun SPARC architecture support beginning with Ubuntu 10.10 and going forward can be found on the
mailing lists.

During the opening bout on the main card of last night's (Sat., July 5, 2014) UFC 175: "Weidman vs. Machida" pay-per-view (PPV) in Las Vegas, Nevada, it was announced that Stefan Struve had fainted backstage at the Mandalay Bay Events Center and his planned bout against Matt Mitrione was off.
At the time, little was known outside of the fact that Struve was looking to make a comeback after sitting out for a full year to monitor a leaking aortic valve and enlarged heart that threatened to end his career. There were rumors that he had a panic attack and UFC President Dana White would later say at the post-fight press conference that he was "doing great" and cleared by doctors in short order.
"Yeah, he's doing great. The doctor cleared him and let him go. You know, he has this condition that he... every specialist and doctor has cleared him and checked him out and the commission approved him. It reminds me of the Holyfield thing. The guy is going to have to retire, then he's back. I guess tonight you could... he had something like a panic attack. He started hyperventilating, he almost blacked out, his blood pressure dropped. I don't know, it's just one of those weird things. I'm just glad he's okay."
Despite his lack of information, White would say Struve has some soul searching to do regarding his future in fighting:
"I think it's something that he really needs to think about. Obviously, you meet some of these guys that love to compete so much that they'll overlook certain things. I think tonight showed that he's not one of those guys. He started to black out and he started to have a panic attack like there was something wrong with his heart again -- I THINK. Again, this is all just what I've heard. But I think that he needs to do some soul searching. He's a super talented guy. He's a great guy, we love the guy, and I don't know. We'll see from here."
Later, MMAFighting.com would catch up with Struve to get a clearer picture on exactly what happened.
From the man himself:
"Tonight, during my warm up prior to my scheduled fight with Matt Mitrione at UFC 175, I began experiencing discomfort and anxiety. However, given my extended layoff as a result of my recent medical issues and the passing of my father, I dismissed my physical and emotional feelings as nothing more than nervousness. Unfortunately, as my warm up progressed, I collapsed in the locker room. After consulting the UFC and the doctors, the determination was made that in an abundance of caution I should not be allowed to compete."

While this is an unfortunate situation for all involved, White did reveal that both Struve and Mitrione would be paid their show and win money despite not competing at UFC 175.
We wish Struve all the best as he figures out his medical situation.
