text: On October 26, 1997, about 1615 Eastern Standard Time, a Mooney M20K, N252MY, was substantially damaged when it impacted trees during an instrument approach to the Ocean City Municipal Airport (26N), Ocean City, New Jersey. The certificated airline transport pilot and the passenger sustained minor injuries. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the flight that departed the Igor I. Sikorsky Memorial Airport (BDR), Bridgeport, Connecticut. An instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan was filed for the personal flight conducted under 14 CFR Part 91. The pilot reported that he departed BDR on an IFR flight plan to 26N. He was vectored to the VOR 6 approach to 26N by Atlantic City Approach Control. The pilot obtained current weather information from reporting stations at Atlantic City International Airport (ACY), Atlantic City, New Jersey and Cape May County Airport (WWD), Wildwood, New Jersey. He stated the weather at both locations was: winds from 070 at 10-15 knots; visibility 4-5 miles, with mist; ceiling 1,200 feet overcast. The pilot executed the VOR 6 approach, and was able to see the runway while descending through approximately 1,200 feet, from a distance of approximately 3 miles. The pilot further stated "Approximately 200 feet [above the ground, I] experienced a sink I could not arrest. I added full power, but impacted the ground approximately 300 feet short of the runway...". According to a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Inspector the airplane's right wing struck a tree about 250 feet from the approach end of Runway 6. The FAA Inspector further stated that there was no evidence of pre-impact mechanical malfunction to the airplane. The airport manager reported that there was heavy rain with fog at the time of the accident. Atlantic City International Airport was located approximately 12 miles to the northeast. The weather reported there, at 1554, was: winds from 080 degrees at 7 knots; visibility 6 miles with light rain and mist; scattered clouds at 1,500 feet; ceiling 2,200 feet broken; 2,700 feet overcast; temperature and dewpoint 50 degrees Fahrenheit; altimeter 30.05.

Merkley: Marriage Equality Issue of Fundamental Fairness
Merkley: Marriage Equality Issue of Fundamental Fairness
Washington, DC- Oregon's Senator Jeff Merkley issued a statement on the day the Supreme Court started hearing oral arguments on Hollingsworth v. Perry, a case challenging California's Proposition 8, banning marriage for same-sex couples.
"Marriage equality is an issue of fundamental fairness. The Supreme Court should do the right thing and recognize the millions of loving families across this country. Our country is better than DOMA or Prop 8 -- discrimination has no place in our laws."

He's crying and calling me out on using him. It's awful. And I'm too drunk to leave.
That's where the buck stops? Buying girlfriends online? THAT is where you draw the line?!
Guess I'll put him on my to-do list too. But closer to the bottom since we dated before. That's almost unethical.
In fact, not a good idea to go into any house alone after a man invites you in from his balcony.

On Limited Government
In Federalist Paper 45, James Madison (widely considered the 'father of the United States Constitution") promised the American people that:
"The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government, are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State."
Clearly the design of the Founders' has been turned on its head. With the aid of complicit federal judges – which Thomas Jefferson called a "corps of sappers and miners" – who willfully misinterpret the Commerce Clause to grant the United States Congress the power to regulate literally anything, we now have a ruling class who will admit of no restraints on national power with a federal government of nearly unlimited de facto powers, grown like a metastasizing cancer far beyond the bounds of anything foreseen by even the most skeptical of Anti-Federalists from the Founding era.
Fair Use Source: http://www.alt-market.com/articles/96-getting-off-the-globalist-chessboard-an-introduction
So in my old age I hark back belatedly to the words of Henry David Thoreau:
"That government is best which governs least"; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which also I believe — "That government is best which governs not at all"; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have. Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient. The objections which have been brought against a standing army, and they are many and weighty, and deserve to prevail, may also at last be brought against a standing government. The standing army is only an arm of the standing government. The government itself, which is only the mode which the people have chosen to execute their will, is equally liable to be abused and perverted before the people can act through it."
"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
- Benjamin Franklin, 1759.
"Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act of depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest."

When was the last time you took a photo? Did you post it to Facebook or Twitter? Did you upload it onto your Flickr photostream? Or was it taken with an iPhone, and then you used an app to make it look like it was taken with a Holga? Maybe you used a vintage camera and had a specialty shop develop the medium-format film. Whatever the case, these are certainly some of the current trends in photography. With Flash: Photography from Dallas Galleries, the Contemporary Art Dealers of Dallas tackle the question: What does it mean to photography as art if so many people are doing it?

A Few Forgotten Facts
1. Israel became a nation in 1312 BCE, two thousand years before the rise of Islam.
2. Arab refugees in Israel began identifying themselves as part of a Palestinian people in 1967, two decades after the establishment of the modern State of Israel.
3. Since the Jewish conquest in 1272 BCE, the Jews have had dominion over the land for one thousand years with a continuous presence in the land for the past 3,300 years.
4. The only Arab dominion since the conquest in 635 CE lasted no more than 22 years.
5. For over 3,300 years, Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem, they never sought to make it their capital, and Arab leaders did not come to visit.
6. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in Tanach, the Jewish Holy Scriptures. Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran.
7. King David founded the city of Jerusalem. Mohammed never came to Jerusalem.
8. Jews pray facing Jerusalem. Muslims pray with their backs toward Jerusalem.
9. In 1948 the Arab refugees were encouraged to leave Israel by Arab leaders promising to purge the land of Jews. Sixty-eight percent left without ever seeing an Israeli soldier.
10. The Jewish refugees were forced to flee from Arab lands due to Arab brutality, persecution, and slaughter.
11. The number of Arab refugees who left Israel in 1948 is estimated to be around 630,000. The number of Jewish refugees from Arab lands is estimated to be the same.
12. Arab refugees were intentionally not absorbed or integrated into the Arab lands to which they fled, despite the vast Arab territory. Out of the 100,000,000 refugees since World War II, theirs is the only refugee group in the world that has never been absorbed or integrated into their own people's lands. Jewish refugees were completely absorbed into Israel, a country no larger than the state of New Jersey.
13. The Arabs are represented by eight separate nations, not including the Palestinians. There is only one Jewish nation. The Arab nations initiated all five wars and lost. Israel defended itself each time and won.
14. The PLO's Charter still calls for the destruction of the State of Israel. Israel has given the Palestinians most of the West Bank land, autonomy under the Palestinian Authority, and has supplied them.
15. Under Jordanian rule, Jewish holy sites were desecrated and the Jews were denied access to places of worship. Under Israeli rule, all Muslim and Christian sites have been preserved and made accessible to people of all faiths.
16. The UN Record on Israel and the Arabs: of the 175 Security Council resolutions passed before 1990, 97 were directed against Israel.
17. Of the 690 General Assembly resolutions voted on before 1990, 429 were directed against Israel.
18. The UN was silent while 58 Jerusalem Synagogues were destroyed by the Jordanians.
19. The UN was silent while the Jordanians systematically desecrated the ancient Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives.
20. The UN was silent while the Jordanians enforced an apartheid-like a policy of preventing Jewsfrom visiting the Temple Mount and the Western Wall.
An adventure is an exciting or unusual experience. It may also be a bold, usually risky undertaking, with an uncertain outcome.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience. We had a reservation, and they seated us at a table that was next to the open kitchen. My mother was a little too warm in that location, so the waiter and hostess very kindly accommodated our request for a quieter table without a fuss. Our waiter was excellent. He answered all of our questions about the menu and was warm and friendly. The food came out promptly. We started with the butternut squash fundida, and all thought it was great. Everyone's entrees were delicious as well. Then dessert on the house for my mom's birthday. All in all, it was a great meal!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Lola's a starHavaHavaDined on 10/27/2014Lola is right around the block from me. Even though my first meal there was great, I was worried we'd end up there too often. Well, 4 months after moving into the neighborhood we have probably been there 6 times and every meal had been terrific. I don't worry about going there too often because the service is always great and the food is yummy.Special Features:
- Good flavors, moderate execution.Yes2SavoryDined on 10/25/2014The atmosphere and service were excellent. The margs & the flavors of the food were good. However, the execution was a little to be desired. We started with the ceviches flight, halibut, scallops and shrimp which was good. For the main course we had the El Jefe' and the Salmon Veracruz. This is were the flavors were there but not the execution. The salmon was a bit on the cold side and over cooked on the exterior. The same thing was true with the El Jefe'. The chicken was very overcooked to the point that parts were not chewable. Now I didn't mention any of this to the server as we were on a date and were having a good time and perhaps because we took so long with the starters that the main course sat too long in the kitchen.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love Lola!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/24/2014A great place to meet up with friends. They are always changing up their menu and have many unique Mexican inspired dishes. Definitely try the guacamole- they will mix it up table side to your liking. This was also fun for a birthday get-together. No cheesy song, but I did get a choco taco with a candle. :-) Definitely worth going!Special Features:

- Went on a double dateOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 10/4/2014And it was ok. It was very busy but we were seated on time for our reservation. We ordered several different things, one being the whole fish which was very good. The special they had that night however, was awful. As in inedible. When asked we complained and it was promptly taken back and we were given another entree. Very good service and the server was very apologetic for the bad plate. The second dish was much better. I will say for the cost the food was just so so though and I don't know that I would go back any time soon. Great drinks and a decent wine list. Love the free valet parking as it can be annoying to find a spot in the area.Special Features:

- DeliciousiknowmyfoodDined on 9/23/2014They had a taco special the night we were there, it was good, but not as great as what everyone else had. I don't like seafood and went with the pork which was really good. My husband loved the lobster enchiladas. Be sure to get a Mojito!Special Features:

- Lola's New Menu?BMooreDined on 9/15/2014We have eaten here before and this last time the menu seemed very different and not as much to pick from as before. No special for the night besides tacos. Good happy hour! It was a Monday night so maybe that the menu is different. I had Seabass there a couple of times and it was to die for! Not on the menu and not a lot of dishes with a unique flair stood out. Fun place though!Special Features:

The hostess i.e. the girl at the front counter, not the one seating...was rude. She's been rude every time I've gone so I'm kind use to it. Other than that I plan to go back.

Service in the dining room was great. Don't forget to try the table side guacamole-worth trip on its own.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pretend foodie restaurantdebbDined on 8/25/2014Food not impressive at our meal. For instance, Guacamole was prepared at the table by a chief but it wasn't very good. This dish is very dependent on the quality of the fruit. It would be a good idea to source tasty A.'s instead of serving bland, tasteless variety I can get at any Safeway. In general, a lot of foodie descriptions, bells and whistles but then the product was not impressive. Enchiladas arrived cold, etc. etc.
- Mom's 65th BirthdayDenverlocalDined on 8/22/2014Fantastic dining experience. My mom flew in from Connecticut and my brother and his wife came in from LA and we had a fabulous dinner at Lola. It's Mexican with a coastal flare. Great ambiance, friendly professional staff, exquisite food. If you order chips and guacamole, they'll make fresh guacamole right in front of you and customize it to your spiciness preference, very cool! They're extensive tequila selection and tequila cocktails is what I really enjoyed about Lola. I had read beforehand that Lola was named "Top 5 places to drink tequila in North America" I believe it! Very nice restaurant right in the heart of Denver's trendy and cute lower highlands "LoHi" neighborhood. Very highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent time, except!PBKWINEGUYVIPDined on 8/18/2014We enjoyed our evening at Lola, the service and food quality were very good. Living a few blocks from the restaurant, we often stop in for brunch, dinner or just a margarita. Happy hour all night Mondays is an added bonus. I ordered the salmon off of the regular menu this week, the dish was very well done and quite tasty, though i thought for the price $27 the portion of fish was very small. We will continue to visit Lola, as it is a cool and interesting restaurant.Special Features:

Service was very good. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable. With lots of other choices in the neighborhood, we probably won't be back for a while.Special Features:

Abstract: Research in business model innovation has identified its significance in creating a sustainable competitive advantage for a firm, yet there are few empirical studies identifying which combination of business model activities lead to success and therefore deserve innovative attention. This study analyzes the business models of North America low-cost carriers from 2001 to 2010 using a Boolean minimization algorithm to identify which combinations of business model activities lead to operational profitability. The research aim is threefold: complement airline literature in the realm of business model innovation, introduce Boolean minimization methods to the field, and propose alternative business model activities to North American carriers striving for positive operating results.

An Assessment and a ReevaluationFoss, Nikolaj J. (København, 2002)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The famous three chapters in Nelson and Winter (1982) that focus on firm routines and capabilities are often taken to be solidly founded on an assumption of bounded rationality. I argue that, in actuality, bounded rationality plays a rather limited role in Nelson and Winter (1982), that the very different assumption of tacit knowledge is much more central, and that the links between bounded rationality and routines/capabilities are not clear. I then argue that the absence in Nelson and Winter of a clear methodological individualist foundation for notions such as routines, capabilities, competencies, etc. have resulted in certain explanatory difficulties in the modern organizational capabilities approach that has taken so much inspiration from their work.

Present Use and (Some)Future PossibilitiesFoss, Nicolai J. (Frederiksberg, 2001)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The way in which bounded rationality enters contemporary organizational economics theorizing is examined. It is argued that, as it is being used, bounded rationality is neither necessary nor sufficient for producing the results of organizational economics. It is at best a rhetorical device, used for the purpose of loosely explaining incomplete contracts. However, it is possible to incorporate much richer notions of bounded rationality, founded on research in cognitive psychology, and to illuminate the study of economic organization by means of such notions. A number of examples are provided. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7896

Ooi, Can-Seng (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Societal changes are seldom discussed in the literature on city branding. The time element is important because it highlights the fluctuating reality of society. The city brand message freezes the place but in fact, the city branding exercise is a continuous process. Society emerges too. City brands are supposed to accentuate the uniqueness of the city, be built from the bottom-up and reflect the city's identity. This paper highlights three paradoxes, pointing out that city branding processes can also make cities more alike, bring about societal changes and forge new city identities. A city branding campaign does not just present the city, it may change the city. The relationships between the branding exercise and the city are intertwined in the evolution of the place.

Internationalization of Indian Film IndustryLorenzen, Mark; Taeube, Florian Arun (Frederiksberg, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In the context of an emerging economy, the paper analyzes indigenous growth and internationalization. Using novel and original data, the paper studies the Indian film cluster in Mumbai, Bollywood. It argues that as the world's biggest commercial film cluster and a conspicuous growth phenomenon in an emerging economy context, Bollywood can be seen as a paradigmatic case for adding to our understanding of the development of film clusters outside the USA, as well as suggesting more general insights into the growth and internationalization of industries in emerging economies. The empirical analysis of the paper points to the importance of home market, government regulation, and industry structure for Bollywood's recent export growth. The paper discusses how the existence of a well-defined and geographically centered social network among producers, directors and other key roles in filmmaking in Mumbai supports the development of a 'Bollywood model' of filmmaking with a industry structure remarkably different from Hollywood's.

Rohde, Carsten (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Budgets and budget control has been known since the early 19th century1. However the use of budget control was until the beginning of the 1920ies in US primarily related to governmental units and states and to a minor extent to business units in practice. At that time James McKinsey describes budgetary control as involving the following2: 1. The statement of the plans of all the departments of the business for a certain period of time in the form of estimates 2. The coordination of these estimates into a well-balanced program for the business as a whole. 3. The preparation of reports showing a comparison between the actual and the estimated performance, and the revision of the original plans when these reports show that such a revision is necessary. As can be seen from the statement budgetary control includes at the same time a planning and coordination mechanism for actions and performance ex ante as well as a control mechanism ex post through a comparison between estimated and actual plans and performance.

The Roles of Knowledge Sources, Complementarities, and Organizational ContextFoss, Nicolai J.; Pedersen, Torben (København, 2001)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: We develop a view of the MNC as a knowledge-creating and and utilizing entity, building on the extant literature on the differentiated MNC as well as on Lyles and Schwenk's work on corporate knowledge structures. The starting point for this conceptualization is that MNC management through choices regarding organizational control, motivation and context can influence the development, characteristics and transfer of knowledge. This extends existing literature. For example, in most of the literature, the characteristics of knowledge are seen as exogenous rather than endogenous variables. However, to the extent that management chooses a specific way of sourcing knowledge, it also implicitly chooses the characteristics of the sourced knowledge and the ease with which it can be transferred inside the MNC. This is because knowledge from different knowledge sources have different characteristics and are thus transferred at different cost. The six hypotheses that we draw from the main argument are tested on the basis of a unique and very rich dataset on subsidiary knowledge development (including information on the organizational setting, sources of subsidiary knowledge and the extent of knowledge transfer to other MNC-units) that has been constructed in connection with a cross-national project Centres of Excellence (Holm and Pedersen 2000a). The dataset covers more than 2.000 subsidiaries located in seven different European countries. 1 URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6930

Li, Xin; Worm, Verner (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: With China's rapid economic progress and steady increase in its international influence, China has gradually embarked on the soft power idea and has made developing its soft power as its national strategy. We argue that China's soft power strategy is in accordance to Chinese Confucian culture and political value and fits well with its grand strategy of peaceful rise. Based on existing conceptualizations of soft power, we expanded the sources of soft power to six pillars: cultural attractiveness, political values, development model, international institutions, international image, and economic temptation. We also identified three channels for wielding soft power: formal, economic, and cultural diplomacies. Putting all the basics together, we present an integrative model of soft power. Accordingly, we analyze the sources and limits of China's soft power and suggest how to improve it. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7829

The Role of Temporary ClustersMaskell, Peter; Bathelt, Harald; Malmberg, Anders (Frederiksberg, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Business people and professionals come together regularly at trade fairs, exhibitions, conventions, congresses, and conferences. Here, their latest and most advanced findings, inventions and products are on display to be evaluated by customers and suppliers, as well as by peers and competitors. Participation in events like these helps firms to identify the current market frontier, take stock of relative competitive positions and form future plans. Such events exhibit many of the characteristics ascribed to permanent spatial clusters, albeit in a temporary and intensified form. These short-lived hotspots of intense knowledge exchange, network building and idea generation can thus be seen as temporary clusters. The present paper compares temporary clusters with permanent clusters and other types of inter-firm interactions. If regular participation in temporary clusters can satisfy a firm's need to learn through interaction with suppliers, customers, peers and rivals, why is the phenomenon of permanent spatial clustering of similar and related economic activity so pervasive? The answer, it is claimed, lies in the restrictions imposed upon economic activity when knowledge and ideas are transformed into valuable products and services. The paper sheds new light on how interaction among firms in current clusters coincides with knowledge-intensive pipelines between firms in different regions or clusters. In doing so, it offers a novel way of understanding how interfirm knowledge relationships are organized spatially and temporally. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7883

M&A practices as a key instrument to improve M&A integrationHeimeriks, Koen H.; Zollo, Maurizio; Gates, Stephen (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: While firms increasingly rely on mergers and acquisitions as a key growth instrument, many firms have difficulty successfully integrating the target. To counter the disappointing statistics, some firms like IBM and Xerox use M&A practices that capture learnings to improve M&A integrations. Comparing occasional with master acquirers, we find that those that make effective use of such M&A practices increase their chances of success with up to 24%. While there are plenty of reasons for M&A integrations to fail, we derive four key lessons that give master acquirers a leading edge over their occasional counterparts. The findings are based on survey data by 101 firms engaged in 2,447 integrations over the past decade and one dozen expert interviews. The conclusions are based using case examples of master M&A integration practices from six master acquirers IBM, Xerox, Home Depot, Dow Chemical, GE Capital Finance and SC Johnson.

Abstract: Micro-foundations have become an important emerging theme in strategic management. This paper addresses micro-foundations in two related ways. First, we argue that the kind of macro (or "collectivist") explanation that is utilized in the capabilities view in strategic management - which implies a neglect of micro-foundations in two related ways. First, we argue that the kind of macro (or "collectivist") explanation that is utilized in the capabilities view in strategic management - which implies a neglect of micro-foundations - is incomplete. There are no mechanisms that work solely on the macro-level, directly connecting routines and capabilities to firm-level outcomes. While routines and capabilities are useful shorthand for complicated patterns of individual action and interaction, ultimately they are best understood at the micro-level. Second, we provide a formal model that shows precisely why macro explanation is incomplete and which exemplifies how explicit micro-foundations may be built for notions of routines and capabilities and for how these impact firm performance.

The Industrial Enzymes IndustryNorus, Jesper (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper analyzes the foundations of regional knowledge and its long-term impact on the region's companies' and how a particular knowledge has developed an ability to stay competitive within a specific technological field. The case illustrates how the Copenhagen region has been able to develop a dominating position in the global market for industrial enzymes from 1870-2004. The case of industrial enzymes shows how a region has been able to build sustainable competitive advantages from its distinctive competencies. This is done through a mixture of outsourcing and in sourcing of competencies, knowledge and technologies from other regions in a ramified set of interacting networks. The key personnel within the regions firms are deliberately allowed to engage in the formations of these non-disclosure network activities so that professional knowledge communities has been established across regional boundaries and thereby formed the basis for globalization of the knowledge and the markets for industrial enzymes. Last but not least the paper demonstrates how the region's major firm, Novozymes, the world-leading manufacturer of industrial enzymes, even before the term virtual organization came into fashion, positioned itself as an interactive partner in the center of a globalized system of academic institutions, customers and clients.

Baby Sister...
The world Wae and I live in reminds me of a roller coaster some days. About nine months ago we were starting an adoption journey in China, then that changed. A couple of months after that we thought we were going to adopt privately, then that changed. A couple of months after that we thought we would try for a biological child and that didn't work out either. We have tried many avenues over the past year to grow our family. We have went down paths we didn't want to go down but we were willing to try to see if that's what God wanted for our family. He closed the door to those paths and it clearly showed us that wasn't God's plan. Even though our last year has been like a roller coaster Wae and I have had one constant in our lives...prayer! Wae actually brought the concept of adoption to me shortly after Asher was born. I told him God hadn't spoken to me and that he would have to in order for us to pursue that route. I smile as I remember that day. From that day forward we started praying that God would reveal to us the path He wanted our family to take. That He would lead us in the direction He had planned for our lives. That he would help me give up the desire for more biological children. God has clearly shown us time and time again that he is guiding us and directing us towards the path of adoption. I want to adopt with every square inch of my heart... We have had "messengers" help direct our paths into new options for which country to adopt from and we have had prayer warriors praying that God would open our eyes. It seems like everything is coming together according to God's plan now. We have started working on adopting from Kyrgyzstan. Our original dream was to adopt from Kazakhstan because we know a girl from church who was adopted from there and we just adore her. However, that country isn't open for adoption with the US. Kyrgyzstan is beside Kazakhstan... So...we hear about this country and I immediately call our agency and THEY HAVE JUST ADDED THIS COUNTRY!!! Coincidence? I think not. Long story short, we applied and things are looking good. My doctor sent a letter about the medication to the country and the country says it's no big deal. We have already started our home study and we are halfway finished with it. Things are moving along in a way that shows God to us. We have prayed when the journey was right that The Lord would guide it. That it would be so easy to get "her" and that it was like a lit path. It seems that way. We are still praying if this isn't God's will that he stops this opportunity as well. That is a very hard prayer to pray but when we have our baby girl/boy in our arms we are going to know that she/he is the one God created just perfectly for our family. We have requested a healthy baby girl. The odds of getting "healthy" and BABY girl are slim but you know what? I believe in the power of prayer. So that is what I ask you all to join us in praying. Please pray if this is our "Maggie" (Asher's sticking with Maggie for baby sister) that she is healthy and a baby girl. I've not defined what I consider baby age :) I'm just praying... I haven't met her...I haven't seen her picture...I haven't read her file! But I've prayed for her just like I did Ian and Asher before they were born. I love her already just like I did Ian and Asher...I think about her all the time and our household is full of hope and anticipation as we wait for our Maggie. Pray God protects her...the things children endure in orphanages is beyond our wildest dreams. Pray we get her home quickly so we can love her and hug on her and spoil her absolutely rotten! It's kind of getting real...

A Rhizo Kids Mother's Day
When Ian was born there wasn't much information available about Rhizomelic Chondrodysplasia Punctata. There wasn't many known families with RCDP and it was hard to find any other parents with children with this condition. It was a hard, lonely, and isolating time in our lives. Then God stepped in and showed me that Ian wasn't a "mistake" but a God ordained circumstance where he would bring me one of dearest friends in the world with Tracey Thomas. It was by no accident that our boys were born at the same hospital five weeks apart. It was no accident that the doctors and nurses who had cared for Ian were now caring for Jackson. God did that! He sent me a friend, a sister, and a partner in crime! Tracey and I decided we would start a non profit organization a couple of months after the boys were born. We knew three other families with children like ours and we all worked together to get this started. We started with a $150 donation from my uncle which paid for us to start the Rhizo Kids website. Through that website we have met well over 70 families have been affected by RCDP. Because of that first donation that got us off the ground we have doctors who come annually to our Rhizo Kids conference to meet our children. We have doctors who are doing research on treatments for our kids and we have doctors creating Natural History studies on children with RCDP. We are able to bring many families to Chesnut Bay Resort once a year to be welcomed into an environment where their family is "normal" for a few days. Here they meet with doctors and learn how to take care of their child's serious medical needs. I want to cry every year I see the new families come in...they are so scared. But by the end of our conference they are happy and laughing and it makes my heart smile BIG! You see this all started from one small donation that led to something big. Every donation we get counts...every $1, $5, $20, or every shirt bought. Rhizo Kids requires an annual budget of about $90,000 now. We are only bringing in about $60,000. We aren't going to be able to continue on this path for long. When my sweet Ian died a large part of me died. I wasn't able to continue doing the things I had done for Rhizo Kids. My heart was shattered and I was doing good to put one foot in front of the other. I dropped everything in Tracey Thomas' lap and I ran! I did the minimal to get by for Rhizo Kids and I tried to let my heart heal. The truth is I'm a mom who has buried her child and there is no cure for that pain. Running from Rhizo Kids wasn't the answer...Tracey has went above and beyond for Rhizo Kids and has made it an awesome organization. She applies for grants and has a lot of support from Honda. She has continued all of this work even after losing her precious Jackson. She is a hero to me!!! So this year for Mother's Day instead of just looking at Tracey and myself and thinking"Man I feel sorry for them! They have to endure this day without one of their children!" Will you do something for us that will make us smile on Mother's Day? You can buy a new Rhizo Kids shirt or send a donation to Rhizo Kids in our child's honor. We can't hug our boys anymore and we can't whisper "I love you" into their ears. But we can continue our work for Rhizo Kids in their memory and still be their MOMS! It will crush the Rhizo Kids organization if we aren't able to meet the monetary obligations that Rhizo Kids has now. This is all we can do for our boys in this life now that they are gone and we need your help. My uncle never knew what his $150 donation would do for Rhizo Kids...he never dreamed it would be this big. Maybe your donation or shirt order or help at our conference will be the next driving force for Rhizo Kids. Tracey and I will wake up on Mother's day this year and we will survive the day just like last year. It won't be a day all full of smiles...inside our hearts there will always be the missing piece but we will be able to make it through the day knowing that we are still doing something for our boys by keeping their memory alive through Rhizo Kids. This is our new shirt design we are selling. You can buy one for $15. They are gray and we can get them in infant sizes up through XXX. You can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com for a shirt or you can contact me on FB to order one. If you would like to mail us a donation please email me and I will get you our mailing address. Thank you for your continued support!action=view¤t=MarySignaturecopy-3.jpg" target="_blank">

Walk by faith not by sight...
So much seems to happen in our lives between each blog post. I guess it's because I go 2 months without posting now. I would tell you I will do better but I'm not going to lie. Our lives are crazy busy right now and plans change every day around here. I have tried to quit planning because every time I do God changes them...when will I learn :) Our adoption journey is...what's the right word...umm...kind of changing?!? Wae and I decided we wanted to take ourselves out of the planning. We decided "word of mouth" was going to be the route we would go for now. You know so we had no control over the situation. Ok...I will be honest. It's so I don't control the situation. We all know Wae isn't doing the controlling here. He is seriously patiently waiting for God to lead us instead of us trying to lead God. We have told a few OB/GYN doctors and nurses that we are interested in adoption. We have told all of our families and friends and I have obviously told our blogging world family as well. We have been praying with full faith that God would lead us to our baby through this method. I have made a book on shutterfly telling our story which shows our family life before Ian, during Ian, and after Ian. It explains the many ways God has called us to adoption and we plan to give those to a few doctors. Is this the route I originally told God I was willing to pursue? (insert laughter here)No it's not! However, this is where we feel like we are supposed to be going right now. I am not going to give all the details of our adoption journey right now. God is leading us in a way that is far too big for me to type on this blog. He is connecting us to people who only He could connect us with. He has given us a vision...the vision is being refined not changed. He is simply adjusting it to His will for our lives. We are totally following His lead right now and the only way I can describe it is that we are walking by faith and not by sight. It is as if there are hundreds of people praying for this God ordained vision we have and God is listening. He is answering and He is leading Wae and I down the path He has laid out for us. It is not what I originally visioned. It is actually terrifying just to be honest. However, something amazing is happening. Something that can come only from God. Wae and I are at such peace with the direction we are headed. We are so happy and honored that God is trusting us enough to allow us to be a part of a much bigger plan than we had dreamed. From the beginning of this new path we started my prayer has been that God would give Wae and I the same convictions...that we would always be on the same page. I read in a book that visions thrive in an environment of unity and die in an environment of division. I know if we don't stay on the same page that this is not the path for us. It's crazy how "together" we are right now. So you might be asking yourself...why is she sharing this but not telling us all the details?!? I just can't right now. But I shared because I believe many of you have prayed for us for years. I believe many of your prayers were answered and that's why Wae and I have our healthy little boy Asher. I believe you all love our family and have prayed without ceasing. We need your prayers now again...This path is so new and we just don't know where it will go. There are so many options and we need you to pray for discernment, unity, love, understanding, and I know you aren't supposed to pray for patience so be creative on that one. I need patience right now though :) We are walking by faith and not by sight and I pray God helps me each morning to continue walking by faith. The devil easily knows how to distract me and is trying to sidetrack this God ordained vision. I need prayer to remain focused on the path set before me. I don't know where we are going...I don't know if it's a "Maggie" we will be getting. Maybe it's Maggie or maybe it's another fun little boy. Maybe it's an option far from a new baby girl or baby boy. Maybe our "adoption" vision is larger than what we saw as adoption in the past. Thank you for your prayers. I believe they are one reason we are where we are today. Now a little update on Asher...he's a mess y'all. His favorite sayings are "4..5..6" (I have no idea why) If you say anything about time he says "10 minutes" in the sweetest voice you've ever heard. He calls himself a cowboy and a donkeyhead thanks to his pops! He loves to pray "God our father praise Jesus!" He lists 300 prayer requests at night and prays for them all. He had his first injury...he fell on the edge of the rock fireplace and it immediately started gushing blood right above his eye. He had to have that glued up. Mommy cried...no I panicked and totally freaked out! He loves to hug, kiss, and snuggle and yes he uses all those words. He comes to me and says "Rock the baby mommy!" And yes I drop everything and rock the baby. He says "Hold you mommy. Hold you!" This means he wants me to pick him up. He's a momma's boy and I love it!!! He has about 6 girlfriends already and is only 2 1/2 years old. I'm a little worried about this. He had a date for Valentine's this year :) He has the sweetest heart...if he thinks he did something wrong he says I sorry mommy I sorry! He is not all good all the time though...he is a ball of energy and he wears me down somedays. He never stops and talks 24/7. Half the time you have no clue what he's saying but you better figure something out b/c he won't stop until you recognize him :) He unfolds all the laundry I fold and laughs every time. He laughs a lot, he loves big, and he snuggles tighter than anyone I know. He's my heart! I love him with all I have and I"m so thankful he's mine.

Change of Plans...
Before Ian was born I was a PLANNER!!! It really does deserve all caps. I was a crazy planner. Every part of our lives was planned. We would have a baby boy at the age of 24 then a girl at the age of 27ish and we would adopt a child after that around the age of 30 or 31. I would be a teacher and a mom at the same time and we would have 2 dogs, a cat, and a pet fish. (LOL...not for real about the animals but y'all get the picture right?!?) I was so together...the laundry was always done, the floors were always vacuumed, the dishes were always clean and life APPEARED perfect. Well, Ian was born and my dear friends God taught me many lessons during and after Ian's life. One life lesson was that I cannot plan out life. I tend to get planning and leave God out sometimes and life becomes MY plan without a whole lot of God's plan in it. I am about to be so transparent so brace yourself. Not that you all haven't known that I'm transparent but here goes... Wae and I have felt led to adopt for a long time. It was just hard to take the plunge and be all in. It was hard to let go of us having another biological child. We did it though. I have always PLANNED that we would adopt from China. I have dreamed of my little baby girl from China for a long time. In my plan to adopt it was from China because it was what I wanted. What I wanted....When God started leading us to adopt Wae didn't really feel led to China at this time. However, I am persistent and PUSHY! So...we were going to adopt from China and Wae was excited too don't get me wrong. He just felt that God was telling him that we were going to adopt domestically and maybe save a child from being aborted. I chose to override what God was telling Wae because I forgot about the life lesson God taught me through Ian and I became a planner again. God is sovereign....God's will IS perfect and His timing is too. We had our first conference call yesterday and afterwards it was determined that Wae and I don't meet the requirements to adopt from China. Our precious social worker called to tell me and I instantly began crying as I saw our sweet "Maggie" slipping away from us. Our social worker was so upset and immediately prayed for us over the phone. China has very strict requirements for adoption. When Ian died my doctor gave me a prescription for some pills to help me with anxiety. Our two year old died from a rare genetic disorder and I needed a little help. That prescription of 30 pills lasted me 3 1/2 years. You can tell from how long the prescription lasted that I don't take the pills often. However, there are a few days a year where I get upset and anxious. For instance, the anniversary of Ian's death is hard...his birthday is hard....Christmas is hard! I had the pills refilled in February of 2013 and since I had them refilled in the past two years we cannot adopt from China. I do not take antidepressants daily, I don't drink or have a drug problem but I have a prescription for a medicine that causes us to be ineligible to adopt internationally at this time. We have prayed from day one that God would light up the path to the child He has created for us. We have prayed it would be so obvious when we find our child that we know he/she was sent from God. We are choosing to believe this door closing is a blessing from God. We are trusting that God has a child for us in America to adopt or maybe even that He is telling us to have another biological child. We don't know exactly where this path is leading right now...We are at a crossroads and we are going to have to be still and listen. I'm basically speechless right now. I was very excited about our adoption from China. Asher was too...he prays for baby sister Maggie all day long. I realize we can still get our "Maggie" but it's just discouraging. I know we are good parents. Ian died and we didn't lose it...we grew closer in our marriage and in our faith. I am so thankful Ian is our little boy...yes I have the prescription because of what happened through Ian's life. The devil is trying to make me angry..."If you wouldn't have had Ian you wouldn't need the prescription and you could adopt!" I repeat "For I know the PLANS I have for you declares the Lord PLANS to prosper you and not to harm you PLANS for a hope and a future!" I am the Cubbies teacher at Awana at church....our lesson last night was "God keeps his promises and "Great is your faithfulness!" This lesson was for me. I know God keeps his promises and I know He will be faithful to lead us through this journey. So...here we go again...Please pray for this journey to be led by God and that we listen and follow His direction and not ours.

Here we go!
Wow...we have come a long way in our adoption process since I last updated our blog. We prayed and prayed and prayed some more and we chose our adoption company. We are using Lifeline Children's Services in Birmingham. After we knew which agency we were using the next step was to fill out our application. We started filling it out and the first question was where are you adopting from. HA! Back to being still at Jesus's feet...we prayed some more. We printed out the country guideline sheet from our agency and reviewed every country and it's requirements and prayed over this decision. After praying and analyzing every route we felt led to adopt from China. It took us about two weeks to complete our application because it was so very detailed. However, we completed it and mailed in our application fee. I thought we had accomplished a lot...HA!!! After our application was processed and we were accepted into the China program I got a 136 page China manual, and an Alabama manual along with many other forms. I decided real quick like that that application I thought was so hard to complete was just the beginning of many. We had to fill out form after form after form. We had to be fingerprinted and mail that in...I did it all wrong and it had to be returned to me and we had to do it again :)We mailed in our for real first "big" payment and I have cried and jumped for joy. This is for real y'all...Wae and I have talked for years about adopting. Before Ian was even born we both wanted to adopt. You know how sometimes you just "talk" about doing something but never really do it. I was afraid that was how the adoption was going to be for us. But God finally equipped us both with the courage it requires to jump out on a leap of faith and trust His plan when we cannot see where we are going to land. This week on Wednesday at 8:30 we have our first part of our home study...a conference call. I have already lined up Wae's mom to babysit so we can focus all our attention on the call and I'm a nervous wreck. Please join us in praying for our social worker and for Wae and me. Please pray our nerves don't overtake the real us and that she can get to know our family. Asher is warming up to the thought of a baby sister more and more. We pray for her many times a day. Wae said he really wanted to name her so we can pray for her by name. We've asked Asher what he wanted to name baby sister and he informed us her name is BACON! I'm not thinking we will follow through with his name suggestions. We want a biblical name but there aren't many good girl names in the bible. My name is Mary Elizabeth so I already have two good bible names :) Wae likes Mary Magdalene so we are thinking right now about naming her Maggie. Maggie means pearl...and our sweet baby girl who we are desperately searching for is most definitely a pearl to us. We are just thinking out loud right now but Asher is getting pretty good at praying for Maggie so that name just might stick. It's much better than Bacon. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving but as always we missed our sweet boy Ian. I don't think there will ever be a holiday, a family picture, or a Christmas card when I don't miss Ian. I will always think at the holidays that I am missing a piece of my little family...I will always see the missing link in our family picture, and I hate to sign the Christmas card without Ian's name on it. However, by the grace of God we choose to focus on our blessings past and present and rejoice in Ian's healing. We still miss him though... I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and I hope your Christmas is just perfect! Remember to enjoy your family on the holidays and don't take them for granted. You never know what tomorrow holds!

Where do we go God?
It's been one month that Wae and I have known we were going to adopt. We have only been on this journey for one month. I'm sure by now you all know Wae and I both are not patient. We have gotten so cracked up at ourselves...we just knew we would follow God's calling and the baby would "fall out of the sky" into our "empty pouch" just like in the book we read with Asher. We think about all the children around the world living in orphanages and we know there are many children who need a mom and dad to love them. We just thought it would go something like this...God calls us to adopt, we follow the calling, we call an agency, they say here's the kid for you, and we bring her home. HA!!! Nope...it's NOTHING like that. We are determined to do this God's way and not our way. We are having to pray ourselves out of this process every day!!! I would have already completed the application with the first agency I found and be starting a home study. However, I am praying over every little thing we are doing. We do not want to go down the wrong path. I have never wanted to do something God's way as much as I want to do this His way. He has a certain child for our family. The child may be in China, or Kazakhstan, or Japan, or South Korea, or Thailand, or even in America. Today just might be his or her birthday! She might be laying alone by herself right now in an alley because her biological parents abandoned her. This thought haunts me!!! She might be crying in her bed in an orphanage because she just wants to be held. I don't know where she is but I want to find her!!! I want to pick her up and kiss her cheeks and tell her everything will be ok. I want to tell her I love her and that she will never have to be scared again. Asher lays on me every night as I look through the album of waiting children looking for our sweet sister (we really want a sister) Tonight our sweet little two year folded his hands and said "Pray mommy, Jesus!" Then pointed to the screen. I explained to him that these boys and girls are living in orphanages and that they don't have mommies and daddies to love. I explained that Jesus wanted us to adopt one of these orphans into our family to love. I realized at the age of two Asher is already being effected by the path of adoption we are headed down. I know he will love to have a sister to play with and I pray God leads us to her. I can't imagine all the emotions we are going to have as we travel through this life experience. Please pray for us. We are trying to decide what country God wants us to adopt from. We have a few we are looking at and we have one we really, really both agree on. The country has suspended adoptions with the US at this time. The two countries are meeting this month and hoping to raise the suspension. Please pray with us that this happens. If the suspension is raised we will know God wants us to adopt from here. Please pray over the country of Kazakhstan that if it is God's will for us to adopt from this country that the suspension will be no more and that God lays out the path for us to follow to find our child. Also pray that if this is not the country for us that God clearly shows us where He has our child waiting for us. Your prayers will be heard and God will answer us...we appreciate your prayers more than you know. Our first prayer to be answered is what country and then we will move on to our next prayer...what agency do we use? Do we use one agency for the home study and then another agency for the placing agency??? You can feel free to start praying for our second step as well. Night all...going to sleep hugging our sweet Asher tonight more thankful than ever God blessed us with this ball of energy and praying for our sweet little girl to be safe in our Heavenly Father's arms!

Blessings from above...
Before Ian was born, during Ian's life, and after Ian's passing Wae and I have always thought we would adopt. Before Ian was born we knew we wanted to adopt because we wanted to help a child who wasn't being loved or cared for...a child who was possibly going to be aborted or a child who was living in an orphanage somewhere needing a mom and dad. When Ian was born and after he passed away we thought we would adopt and never have biological children because we were so terrified at the risk of RCDP occurring again. As you all know, God did bless us and we have a healthy biological child...our precious Asher. Our desire to adopt has not gone away. If anything, our desire to adopt has grown.We have been praying for quite some time now about God's will for our lives. I very selfishly have wanted to have another child in hopes of having a little girl who would be like me. (Asher is just like his dadddy :) However, after months of prayer and discussions between Wae and I God has confirmed time and time again that His will for our lives is for us to adopt. We recently started a new study at church. While reading my book I realized I had to abandon my own selfish desires in life. I was praying one morning when I was alone (that is rare all you moms know that!) I was praying out loud..."God, empty me and fill me up with you Lord. I want to abandon my own selfish desires for my life and I only want what you want Lord. Wae and I desperately want more children Lord but I don't want to do anything that is not Your will for our lives. Please just show us what to do Lord...please give us a sign. My heart is open...I am listening and waiting for You to reveal Your will for our lives." I went about my business and got ready that morning for church. Wae was already at church. Asher woke up about 30 minutes later and I got him up and started getting him ready for church. In the meantime I see him digging in a drawer he's never even opened in his chest of drawers in his room. It is full of books. I have a huge basket of books we read from but I had put the extras in this drawer. Now remember we NEVER get books from this drawer. Asher dug in this drawer and pulled out a book. It was Sunday morning...we were running late. Doesn't everyone run late on Sunday morning :) He insisted I read him this book. I finally agreed and sat down in the floor with him...plopped him in my lap and picked up the book. "Blessing from Above" I read the book with tears streaming down my face...it was about adoption!!! A mother kangaroo adopted a baby blue bird...it just fell out of the nest into her empty pouch. Remember one hour ago I prayed for God to show us what to do about children...I told Him my heart was open and that I was listening. He got me!!! He answered me within an hour. Wow! I took the book to church and made Wae look at it during church. I told him God sent us a letter and used Asher to deliver it. I tell you this story to let you know Wae and I are beginning the process of finding our third child. Our first child was a special miracle from God only loaned to us for a couple of years. He taught us how to love and about what was really important in life. Our second child is a double portion of pure happiness. God chose to bless us with Asher when the medical world said it was impossible. I cannot wait to see what our third child will be...a chosen blessing who I am praying for day and night. We aren't sure which direction we will head. We are praying and praying and praying looking for God to point us in the right direction...DHR adoption/foster care, private domestic adoption or international adoption. I have always wanted to adopt a sweet little girl from China. We don't have a clue what we are doing and we are fully trusting in God's guidance. If you have any advice please email me at email@example.com If you know of someone who is pregnant or hear of a baby up for adoption please think of us. You just might be the way God helps us find our sweet child. We would appreciate your prayers as we begin this journey that can last for years. I am not known for my patience but I know this new journey will require a lot of patience and prayer. Thank you in advance for your prayers for our new family... Just a few pics from the past few weeks...dove hunting with daddy, kisses for mommy, and admiring the sunflowers on Ian's 6th birthday in his sunflower field PapE plants us every year.

I had a total abdominal hysterectomy about a month and a half ago and a week after I had pain in my bladder I was prescribed antibiotics it seemed to have help for a few weeks... Then I started getting what I thought was bladder spasms and my entire bladder was hurting and it hurt when I went to the bathroom I went to my general dr they did a UA and gave me antibiotics... They called me back 3 days later for another UA my urine was worse and they put me on another antibiotic... I was still hurting really bad the spasm med wasn\'t helping either, so I called my GYN he did a UA through a cath and sent to the lab came back no bacteria so I\'m going to urologist!! My bladder hurts all the time it feels like it will bust when it\'s full!! I\'m very worried its surgery related what do u think it could be?

I had a Da Vinci hysterectomy in March and experienced the same things. Fever, infection, bloating, burning when I urinated and feeling like I couldn't urinate. I went back to my doctor several times and was told that IT WAS NORMAL(!!!)and sent home!
Six weeks later I finally get an appointment with a urologist who did one CT scan and told me my bladder had a puncture, 5mm...exactly the same size as the robot! I had ANOTHER surgery to repair the bladder puncture but only AFTER I wore adult diapers for two months while I took antibiotics to treat the infection so I could be healthy enough for another surgery!
Worst of all, I had no idea this was even a possibility and now I am seeing so many stories of terrible things like this happening with the robot.
I am only 36. After missing almost three months of work I've just been "laid off" from my job that I've only been back to for two months. So Friday I responded to a facebook ad (crazy, I know but I am at my wits end!)and this really nice girl called me back almost immediately. It turns out that the infection and pain IS NORMAL after that surgery because the bladder punctures happen to A LOT of people!
I'm not trying to terrify you or anything but I have been through sheer hell. I only wish I not jumped on the bandwagon with this surgery robot. What was supposed to be "minimally invasive" has cost me four months of my life, my job and my dignity! Get a second opinion, fast!

Get a second opinion soon! This happened to me too and if I had to guess I'd say your bladder was punctured during the surgery.
I spent months in adult diapers...and my doctor tells me I may have to live with this forever. I'm 36 years old. This is devastating.
