Mastering Life Balance: Achieving Greatness at Home and at Work
People are overwhelmed with the complexities of their own lives and are desperately seeking a way to maximize happiness in their home and work lives, says Gary Kunath, an entrepreneur, speaker and former CEO who works with some of the world's top corporations and business schools. "I used to be caught up in the spin cycle of thinking that net worth automatically afforded me life worth," says Kunath, a speaker at top business schools and author of "Life ... Don't Miss It. I Almost Did: How I Learned To Live Life To The Fullest," (www.lifedontmissitbook.com).
"I sacrificed time with my family with the justification that I was providing necessary material things, but at a certain point you realize that money doesn't make you rich, it just allows you to buy more stuff."
Priorities for professionals have shifted; now, U.S. workers seek family wellbeing above all else, he says. Companies need to recognize that it's imperative to positively affect their employees' lives, both inside and outside working quarters, he says.
"We need to bring humanity back to business," Kunath says. "Leading corporations are aware that most professionals today – 70 percent – would trade a pay raise for an increase in personal wellness."
But employers are struggling with that, he says, citing a new American Psychological Association survey released in March in which 48 percent of employees say their employers don't value a good work-life balance.
More professionals are trying to find a path to life worth, rather than centering their behavior on net worth, Kunath says. He offers five ways career-minded individuals can achieve both:
• Look for signs you're falling into the net-worth trap: For Kunath, those signs were clear. One day, he says, "it was like someone had smacked me on the head," when his son, then 12, walked away in dismay after Kunath said he couldn't play baseball with him because he was too busy working on a business proposal. "The look of disappointment on my son's face was something I will never forget," he says. Kunath dropped everything and spent the day with his son. "I promised that would NEVER happen again". The next occurrence included a mental and physical breakdown after Kunath pushed himself to make an unnecessary business trip while sick. After a 19-hour ordeal in a delayed flight to Spain, "…I knew in my bones that if I did not draw the line right there … I would ruin every part of my life that mattered to me."
• Don't be an employee, be employable: Unless you are self-employed, you are always vulnerable to someone else controlling your professional destiny, and therefore, your life worth. But employees can empower themselves by diversifying their skills so that they can have more choices about where and for whom to work.
• Bad things happen to good people: Adversity finds us all. No one enjoys the worst, most painful moments of their lives. Nonetheless, life events like loss of a loved one, financial ruin, divorce, addictions or illness tend to define us. We need adversity in our lives. Anyone can be a rock star when life is perfect. But when adversity strikes, then the "real" you is revealed. How you face adversity can either extinguish you or distinguish you.
• Believe in something bigger than you: There will be times when you are utterly helpless, with no control over an outcome. All the money in the bank and all the authority at work will do no good when it comes to, for instance, the death of a loved one. Believing in something bigger than you is an important part of having life worth; it helps you maintain your emotional health when you face life's biggest challenges.
• Don't Major in the Minors: As Henry David Thoreau wrote, "The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it." For every evening spent late in the office there are moments professionals miss out on – and can never get back. Many of us spend time on things that ultimately don't matter. "The three greatest gifts you can give to your family are: Time, Memories and Tradition," he says. "These are things in life that matter."

|Schmoo feeling good in her 'magic' skin
Then we talked about something else, leaving me a little exhausted at the thought of all the times Schmoo is going to have to deal with such (not unkindly meant) observations on her own. All I can do is give her as much ammo as I can when I'm with her, not just in terms of comeback quips, but mainly in terms of feeling good in her skin, the best 'weapon' of all!

Worship the Lord with All Your HeartBy Sarah Wells
October 1, 2012
(From Sunday's worship service)
During the month of September, we focused on what it means to worship the Lord with all of your heart. We've been singing the song, "Closer." The song's lyrics read: "Your love has ravished my heart, taken me over, and all I want is to be with You forever. Pull me a little closer, Take me a little deeper, I want to know Your heart. Cause Your love is so much sweeter Than anything I've tasted, I want to know Your heart."
My husband and I get a little squeamish when we sing along to songs like this. The romantic language used to describe our relationship with God makes us uncomfortable. As a female, it isn't as much of a stretch for me to imagine dancing in a field of flowers with Jesus, or, like in another worship song we sing, drinking from the cup in Jesus's hand, laying back against his chest and feeling his heartbeat. I understand wanting to be romanced by the King of the ages. But this depiction of our relationship with God isn't where I usually go first; I am more comfortable right now for whatever reason with God the Father-figure rather than God the lover of my soul. And my husband, well. He's a guy.
When we talk about worshipping God with all of our hearts, we aren't talking about being overwhelmed or carried away by emotion. That kind of a response is the Spirit moving deep in your soul. Worshipping God with all of your heart is to take the Spirit stirring and to "make a deliberate choice to give [y]ourselves back to God in response to all he has given [you]. Biblical worship is the intersection of God's gracious initiative and our freely given response" (Experiential Worship, Rognlien).
There are some songs that we sing that really get me going at the soul level. They connect something in me that makes me very aware of the Holy Spirit's presence, and I am overwhelmed with emotion. And then there are other songs that I simply don't relate to as well. My tendency is to shut down during those songs, to find something else to look at or to fiddle with. But if I am to take seriously the call to worship God with my whole heart, I have to make a conscious decision to enter into worship, to respond to God, even if it isn't the image of God I'm most comfortable with.
In the same way that our souls are moved in different ways by songs, we each respond differently to other expressions of praise and worship. The body of Christ is beautiful and dynamic, it waves flags and sings and plays instruments and writes and paints and dances and reads Scripture and plays the organ, it meditates and celebrates and contemplates. Not all of our souls are moved by every medium there is, but we can worship God, with all of our hearts, choosing to respond to God in that moment of discomfort or unfamiliarity so that we might experience God more fully.

Acura CL
jay238 Posts: 13I don't know.......laser is very tricky to detect. I haven't researched everything but what I like to do is search car messageboards for this and their recommendations. A ton of threads show up.
Even the 2 best detectors, Escort 8500 and Valentine 1 have trouble with laser.
Congrats. You might find that the CL-S will perform better on the highway than around town. The throttle tip-in is tuned quite aggressively, IMO. That's why around town it gives the impression of abundant power. If the road surface is the least bit damp, I always have trouble launching the car without spinning the front wheels and activating the VSA. The downside is that the car is harder to drive smoothly in stop-and-go traffic. But on the open road, the power is seamless and even the steering tracks better.
Happy motoring!
First the hail damage hit me now I have a little piece of metal stripping sticking up from the roof of the car. There are 2 pieces of metal stripping on each side of the roof of the car. Either the weather caused this or maybe the fixing of the hail damage caused this. I had a Ford Mustang and a Mazda 626 before this and I never had problems like this with either of those 2 cars. I love the Acura and will drive it a long time but to come out of work and to find the stripping sticking up in the air was a sure surprise to me. This car is the ultimate touring coupe, I get it washed once a month(hand washed), oil gets changed every 3K, and take care of it like I would take care of a girlfriend.
rick27513 Posts: 29Too much power??????? Huh???? Never!
Wash once a month?...like your girlfriend? I'll leave that one alone!... but really, any CL-S will perform better - and be much happier - with Once a Week bathing. But seriously, I bet your dealer removed the roof strips for body repair and in replacing them, didn't get the strip properly secured. Just a guess.
re/ Laser, save your money for the tickets. There is no gradual-approach warning, as with radar. Once the Laser hits your car, you're busted in less time than you can slow down. I have a radar/laser detector, and even the owner's manual states that you can't do much of anything outside pure luck with laser detection.
My brake light also stayed on a recent cold morning. I thought it was just a sensor and the unusual cold blast that morning. We'll see.
Thanks, I stretched her out on a road trip home this past week, and there's a def. diff. between in town driving and hwy. cruising. Great car for the open rd.
I think I may be close to making that trip to the dealer to have my tranny checked, it seems to act a lil strange wonder if the colder weather is having an effect.
Are speakers covered under the org. factory warr?
95gt Posts: 69They extended everyones warranty for the transmission so what is the big deal? Most cars were not effected and acura probably does not know which ones will fail so does not make sense to replace all the transmissions. Easier to just extend the warranty and fix the ones that need it when/if they break.
this car has served me through this extreme cold on the East Coast. The car never shows any hesitation when starting up. I hate to see when they change the oil what the old oil looks like. I think the oil is going to pretty thick. I used to think on the best looking car on the road when I first got this car. Still a classy looking car. It don't have the elegance of the Mercedes E-Class or the sportiness of the Mazda 6. I think the exterior styling of my 02 CL splits the difference of those 2 cars pretty well though. Car did well through one snowstorm. With all these snowstorms threatening to come I haven't washed this car in a month. I just want to get all the salt off the car. 16,900 miles racked up. Everything well. I missed my car when it was getting fixed 6 months ago. Body shop did a good job in repairing the car.
fastdriver2 Posts: 19carguy58-
My 2001 CL-S has held up well with this winter weather also. More snow coming to CT tomorrow into Tues. At least that's what they're saying now. Can't wait for Spring so I can get the Zaino polish out and get her gleaming shine even "gleamier"!! ;-)))
fastdriver- ignore the fastdriver2 above. Having trouble signing in under my original screename. They say they're working on it.
joeshed Posts: 2What is making my CL Type S pull to the left? Ever since I took delivery of my '03 with 6 speed, I have noticed a tendency to pull to the left. Acura has checked alignment and found everything to be within specifications. I have set air pressure meticulously, rotated wheels, and driven other CL/Ss for comparison. I drive it a lot, and believe me, it is constant, not caused by road crown or front wheel drive issues. Anyone else with similar experiences, or with any recommendations? Where is the best alignment shop around northeastern New Jersey? This car is too good, not to have it drive straight!
The pulling is definitely not normal. I've complained about the CL-S steering. You can call it loose-feeling, disjointed, jittery, etc. But one thing is it has always tracked straight as an arrow. If I find a straight level stretch of road, I can practically take both hands off the wheel and eat a sandwich!
Holy moly! I'm taking mine in next week --- for the 36,000 KM service! Converted to miles, I'm only about 110,000 miles behind you.
BTW, I've never broken 100,000 miles with any car that I've owned. I think the closest was an '89 Accord coupe with about 85,000 miles in 8 years.

The pathway along London's Regent's Canal can be treacherous, as pedestrians and bicyclists struggle to move along without bumping into each other and falling into the waters below. To alleviate the congestion, Anthony Nelson of Design International has proposed building an elevated bike pathway that would life cyclists up and out of the way of foot traffic. The dramatic solution would rise 13 feet in the air, giving cyclists an elevated highway that's separate from pedestrian and automobile traffic.
Over 500 cyclists zip along Regents' Canal in North London each hour. The area often becomes congested as cyclists and pedestrians take turns passing under the low bridges and narrow paths. Nelson, a landscape architect, thought the best solution would be to separate the two types of commuters.
Nelson's plan calls for constructing a lightweight steel platform that hugs the canal, partially overhanging the current walkway. The elevated bicycle path could join every so often with cultural hubs, like cafes or farm stands located near cyclist on/off ramps. Not only would this free up the pedestrian space and let cyclists have less stressful commutes, but it could also offer retail opportunities for the on/off ramp hubs.
Nelson's plan doesn't address how the elevated pathway would accommodate large passing boats, or how it would affect the buildings along the waterfront. He plans to further develop the idea before presenting it to the city in the fall.

Mike Minor SP ATL 3 Months
Minor (shoulder) will not start again this season, according to MLB.com's Mark Bowman reports.
An MRI taken on Minor's shoulder revealed no structural damage, but given that the start of his season was delayed by a shoulder injury, the Braves will not take any chances and shut him down for the season. David Hale will take Minor's spot in the rotation, which comes up Thursday.
Mike Minor SP ATL 3 Months
Minor left Saturday's game with shoulder discomfort in the first inning.
Minor will be evaluated further in the dugout to determine the severity of his discomfort. The 26-year-old has suffered three consecutive losses in September and this injury news certainly doesn't make things better.
Mike Minor SP ATL 3 Months
Minor labored through 4.2 innings in Sunday's loss to the Rangers, giving up five earned runs on eight hits and three walks while recording just one strikeout.
After rolling through his last six starts with a 2.59 ERA and 0.98 WHIP, Minor's stretch of strong work came to a sudden stop Sunday afternoon. The Braves' lefty never seemed to find a rhythm and struggled with command throughout this outing, as his pitch count reached 107 before being lifted in the fifth inning. Minor will be in search of a rebound next weekend against the Mets.
Mike Minor SP ATL 3 Months
Minor was a tough-luck loser Monday, holding the Nationals to two runs in six innings.
Minor has had a trying year, but finally seems to be turning things on of late. The lefty has allowed no more than three runs in any of his last six starts. Minor will carry a 4.58 ERA into his start against the Texans this weekend.
Mike Minor SP ATL 4 Months
Minor (6-9) took the loss Tuesday, giving up three earned runs on seven hits while walking two and striking out five over 7.1 innings against the Phillies.
Minor wasn't horrible in this one, but his offense mustered exactly zero runs in front of him as the Braves' bats were shut out by Kyle Kendrick and the Phillies. Also, this was the fourth straight start the southpaw has lasted seven innings of more, an encouraging sign as the Braves push for a playoff spot in the final month of the regular season. He'll have a tough assignment against the first-place Nats in his next start Monday.
Mike Minor SP ATL 4 Months
Minor tossed seven strong innings against the Mets on Thursday to earn his sixth win of the season. He gave up just one run and four hits while striking out five batters.
Minor took a shutout into the eighth inning, but was pulled after allowing a double and single to start the frame. It's been a rough season for Minor, but he's turned things around lately, with four straight quality starts and 24 strikeouts during that period (28.1 innings). The home run ball has been an issue for Minor all year, although he's given up just two long balls in his last four starts. He's got a favorable matchup in his next start, taking on Philadelphia at home.
Mike Minor SP ATL 4 Months
Minor struck out five and walked four while holding the Reds to one run on one hits over 7.2 innings Friday night.
The Braves' offense didn't play the eventual game-winning run until extra innings, preventing Minor from finding his way into the win column. Minor carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning Friday, while the appearance lowered his season ERA to 4.90 (the first time since July 12 he's been below 5.00), and marked his third consecutive quality start.
Mike Minor SP ATL 4 Months
Minor tossed seven strong innings Sunday night, allowing two earned runs on four hits and two walks while piling up seven strikeouts in a victory over the A's.
The Braves' decision to skip Minor's turn in the rotation earlier this month has seemed to cure his struggles on the mound, at least in the short term. The 26-year-old southpaw has put together back-to-back quality efforts, as he has allowed five earned runs while posting a 1.10 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB ratio across his last 13.2 innings. Minor will be back on the mound Friday in Cincinnati.
Mike Minor SP ATL 4 Months
Minor fell to 4-8 on Tuesday, allowing three runs on eight hits in 6.2 innings against the Dodgers. He also fanned seven and issued just one free pass.
Tough luck for the struggling southpaw, who actually tossed the ball well in this one, especially since he was able to keep the ball in the yard after allowing a combined 12 homers in his previous 10 starts. By now, it's no secret to owners that Minor's numbers this season are far from they expected them to be, as his 5.33 ERA and 1.58 WHIP through 18 starts are well above his career marks of 4.15 and 1.28. Furthermore, he hasn't been able to regain the form that earned him a 13-9 record with a 3.21 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 2013, making him a noteworthy fantasy bust in the starting pitcher's department this season. He's slated to toe the rubber again Sunday in a very tough match against the Athletics.
Mike Minor SP ATL 4 Months
Minor is lined up to make two starts this week, Tuesday at home against the Dodgers and Sunday at home against the A's.
The Braves opted to skip the struggling Minor's last start after he was lit up to the tune of five runs on nine hits over five innings against the Padres, but he will return to the rotation Tuesday as expected. It's always possible, however, that the team could turn elsewhere for Sunday's start should Minor struggle against Los Angeles, so proceed with caution.

1-28 ounce can Fire roasted tomatoes (If you don't have them use a can of crushed tomatoes or Tomato Puree)
2 bay leaves

HAPPY 60th ANNIVERSARY WEWS
It is hard to believe that Channel 5 has been a pioneer, providing stellar programming and paving the way for other stations for 60 years. When I think back to all of the fond memories I have of the shows and broadcasters that have come and gone it touches my heart. People like Dorothy Fuldheim, Tom Field, Paige Palmer, Captain Penny, Jungle Larry and Safari Jane will never be forgotten. Mike Douglas, Bill Gordon and Fred Griffith actually created the format of the talk shows and morning shows we see today even on other networks. WEWS is known for so many FIRSTS in the industry it is truly amazing. And today, WEWS is still an innovator, providing us with the best overall News, Weather and Sports coverage with fabulous broadcasters like Leon Bibb, Danita Harris, Ted Henry and Mark Johnson. PLUS, WEWS has a magnificent Troubleshooting Team which includes Angie Lau, Joe Pagonakis and Duane Pohlman. This is a team you can trust. Take a glimpse into the history of this wonderful station.

To this end they have stifled the exploration and development of our native oil supplies and prevented us from drilling in Anwar, preferring instead to funnel billions of dollars to our enemies and to terrorist nations and that is precisely where our next economic threat will originate. OPEC put the screws to the United States once before and the results were disastrous. In 1973 Libya refused to sell crude oil to the United States and this caused a cascade effect among oil producing nations in the Middle East who were angry with us for supporting Israel during the Yom Kippur War. The effect of this embargo was immediate.
Prices rose, long lines at fueling stations formed, rationing of fuel ensued, and many gas stations closed forever. I recall waiting in line with my mother for forty-five minutes to roll up to the pumps on an even day and being told how much gasoline we could buy. The effects of the embargo on the nation were severe enough to prompt the creation of the strategic oil reserve to insure that we were never again held hostage by the Middle East. But sadly, the strategic reserve has not been adequately maintained.
When price fluctuations in gasoline caused economic impacts, the strategic reserves were raided in order to reduce pressure on the American economy. Unfortunately, the reserve is crude oil only and does not include refined products such as gasoline. Add in the fact that a refinery has not been built in the United States in the past thirty years and the American position becomes readily apparent.
These facts are important because Venezuela, Iran, and Libya are once again threatening the American oil supply. Each of these nations are members of OPEC and each of these nations are not our friends. Additionally, our reliance upon our enemies for our crude oil supplies has been enhanced by a Democratic strategy that seeks to force Americans into smaller, green cars and public transportation. The Democrats believe that by restricting our ability to exploit our own oil resources they can force the American citizen to bend knee to their green agenda and increase the pressure on the American economy by maintaining high prices for crude oil. The added bonus of having OPEC to blame for the dilemma is icing on the cake.
Some will say that the Deep Water Horizon disaster was an excellent reason for denying the exploitation of native oil resources, but such an objection is fatally flawed. First, the Deep Water Horizon project was forced to drill in deep waters because the left refused to allow drilling anywhere near the coastlines of America. What this means is that no fail safes had ever been tested at the 5,000 foot depth in the event of a disaster. Had the accident occurred closer to shore, the disaster would have been greatly reduced in scope and environmental damage because the well would have been capped quickly. Secondly, the administration failed to implement emergency plans that were prepared for such an event until it was too late to do so, and the administration did not take a leadership role in the emergency for weeks afterward thus allowing the situation to spiral out of control. When it became political suicide to continue to ignore the disaster the President finally stepped in with, "I want to know who's ass to kick." While the President looked tough on television, his dithering caused untold environmental damage. Today, we are better prepared for such an event, though the lack of any governmental leadership would doubtless prove just as damaging.
The sad truth is that we can do nothing to avoid the bitter pill that we must swallow. However, we can prevent having to take our medicine once again in the future. By drilling in Anwar and expanding exploration and drilling in the Gulf we can greatly reduce our dependence on foreign oil. Unfortunately, it is too late to have any negative impact on our enemies' economy by our withdrawal of dollars because Chinese yuan stand ready to take their place nullifying the decrease in American demand. However, this reveals another problem. China is quickly becoming the worlds number one consumer of foreign oil.
This will mean that they will get the top grade of oil first because they purchase the majority of it. The lower grades of crude are sold to second, third, and so on. As a result, our refining costs will grow, thereby increasing the cost of a gallon of gasoline that much more. The fact that our refineries are thirty years old and that there is no reserve in our refining capacity means that natural disasters, such as another Katrina, will have far more pronounced impacts on the American public. Further, terrorist attacks on these vulnerable pieces of infrastructure would have profound implications for national security.
Fuel prices in the United States are expected to exceed $4.00 a gallon and could go as high as $7.00 a gallon by the end of the summer. Given that most of our consumer products are shipped by truck and that most people commute to their daily jobs, our demand is somewhat fixed. As the cost of fuel increases you will see the costs of food and goods passed on to the consumer. This is why price increases proposed by Venezuela, Iran, and Libya will have a negative impact on the U.S. economy. If these OPEC nations get their way, the price of crude will exceed $100 per barrel. The question is: how much more can the U.S. economy take?
The Democrats have spent taxpayer monies like drunken college kids with dad's credit cards and they roll new money off of the printing presses to cover the daily expenses of government. They have done this to the tune of 12 trillion dollars in accumulated debt and they seek to continue this trend by steadily increasing the debt ceiling. Currently, the national debt stands at 94% of the American GDP. Further, American unemployment is around 14 percent when the chronically unemployed are factored in. That is a figure that has not been seen since the days of the Great Depression. How then are we still able to function as a nation with such an economy?
The answer is that when the housing bubble burst we replaced that bubble with a bubble of cash. Prior to the freeze of the commercial banking industry, the American treasury had begun printing money twenty-four hours a day beginning in March of 2008. This flood of money has created an ocean of circulating cash that was designed to prevent a depression in the economy. In a depression the value of a dollar increases. This means that one dollar is worth two or three. Conversely, inflation decreases the dollar's value so that a dollar is worth a quarter or a nickel. Because of the massive amount of circulating currency backed only by the government's promise to pay means that hyperinflation is looming just out of sight. Should the economy take another nose dive into the pavement it is very likely that the American people will experience what it was like to live in the Weimar Republic when it took a wheelbarrow full of Marks to purchase a loaf of bread. This fact is not lost on our enemies and is currently the American Achilles heel. Thus, the left's proclivity to spend America into oblivion represents a very real threat to the security of the nation.
I believe that this is what is behind the efforts of Iran, Venezuela, and Libya to raise the price of crude oil. Iran and Venezuela are allies and Iran has Revolutionary Guard troops stationed in Venezuela granting them access to the Western Hemisphere and providing them with a base of operations against the West. Therefore, neither nation has America's best interests at heart. Libya has been an enemy of the West and has carried out terror attacks against the U.S. using its diplomatic pouches to carry explosives to operatives overseas. By upping the price of crude, our enemies can camouflage their aggression in manufacturing costs and profits, but they are using crude oil as a weapon of war nevertheless.
America may be strong militarily, but economically we are fragile. Sustained overseas combat operations, spending like there is no tomorrow, and having never fully recovered economically from the terror attack of September 11th have all combined to place the United States in a very vulnerable position. Truth be told, this is the reason that we must bring our troops home as the Democrats and our enemies attempt to force us down the same path that the Soviet's walked before their spending caused their economy to implode.
Blind trust in our representatives, leftists infiltrating both the Democrats and Republicans, a Marxist in the White House, and American apathy have all colluded to bring about our current troubles. As I have said before, we are going to have to swallow a bitter pill regardless of what we do today, but we can insure that we don't have to take our medicine twice by living within our means, reducing out of control spending, exploiting native energy resources, and ignoring the ridiculous and economically suicidal assertions of the left.

I meet with a couple when I was pg with my daughter. The first one had this sing songy voice and told me that childbirth didn't have to hurt at all. After I stopped laughing at that I realized she was serious. I asked how that was possible and she said I needed to go to my happy place. And that she charged $1200. I decided my happy place was wherever I was with my $1200 in my own wallet.
Then I met with another one. She might have been great, but she had a crooked discolored front tooth and all I could think about was how distracting that wouldbe to look at that thing during labor.
So I didn't have a doula. And you know what? I didn't lose my ability to think when I was in labor. I didn't need to have someone else there. Now, DD's head was over the 95th percentile, she got stuck, lost oxygen, and I had to have an emergency C section. No doula could have helped that, my kid just has big brains!
I think a 3rd person can be helpful for some people, some extra reassurance. for me, I felt informed enough that I could answer questions for myself, and despite painful contractions, I didn't lose my mind.
This is hilarious! I would be the same way.Janimal:
I meet with a couple when I was pg with my daughter. The first one had this sing songy voice and told me that childbirth didn't have to hurt at all. After I stopped laughing at that I realized she was serious. I asked how that was possible and she said I needed to go to my happy place. And that she charged $1200. I decided my happy place was wherever I was with my $1200 in my own wallet.
I had a doula last time and will this time as well. Couple of reasons for this:
-Support before going to the hospital. No nurse is going to come sit at my house with me
-Continuity of care. There will be someone there (besides DH) the entire time I am in labor, delivery and recovery
Those 2 I think are valuable whether or not you're getting an epi. The rest of my reasons are more natural birth specific.
ETA: And last time DH wasn't even with me the entire time because he escorted the baby to the nursery while I was in recovery. I would have been completely alone if the doula hadn't been there. Sucky
I also found a doula who is an apprentice- and a massage therapist. i know there is a chance that i will not want to be touched during labor, but I definitely wanted the support and reassurance a doula can provide. We did interview a doula who was charging 1200... and while some in the NY area might pay that and I'm sure she is more experienced than an apprecentice, I have a really hard time justifying that and with a baby on the way, can't afford that!!!!
I had one even though I ended up with a planned c/s. It was a free program though a local graduate school (they were all in a NP program).
I wanted one because DH annoys the heck out of me when he tries to calm me down and I knew I needed someone else there to calm us both down, if I had actually gone into labor.
But she ended up just taking pictures for us and telling our families that the baby was here and everything was ok. I think she was happy to see the c/s process too.
I thought about it , but I am not having a doula . I like my midwife and feel super confident and positive about how the whole L/B will go down with my medical team and supportive husband . I have also yet to meet a doula ( I have met several through my mom to be groups and one that leads my pre natal yoga class ) that I feel comfortable with . One of my best friends had one and she loved having a doula and it her really helped her with her fear of giving birth issues and such .
There is book that doulas/midwives recommend that i was recommended ( read some of it but couldn't past all the whoo whoo stuff ) its called Birth from Within. If you feel you need some help communicating your labor and birth fears it has good some exercises you can do i.e drawing and painting .

From tough cut to practice squad player to playmaker, the last few months have been a roller coaster ride for
Elevated to the 53-man roster following
Photo Gallery: Chargers vs. Jaguars | More Photos
That was certainly the case on Sunday when number 90 had two sacks of the team's season-high six sacks in the team's 24-6 victory. Keiser also came through with a clutch play on a fourth down, jumping high in the air to bat a Chad Henne pass away after penetrating the Jaguars offensive line.
"Thomas Keiser again stepped up," Head Coach Mike McCoy said. "He had a great opportunity. (It's) similar to the preseason when he had 2.5 sacks in that one game."
The past few months have been an adjustment for Keiser. Prior to arriving in San Diego, he'd always been a defensive end in a 4-3 alignment. In John Pagano's defense, however, he is an outside linebacker which comes with a bevy of different responsibilities. While it is a process getting adjusted, Keiser is beginning to come into his own and the team is reaping the rewards.
"It felt great," he said. "I described it as getting the monkey off my back. I've got a few sacks in this league, (but) these were the first ones (this year) in the regular season. I feel comfortable getting after that pass rush and I hope to continue on this way."
Overall, the combination of the team's performance coupled with his own has Keiser feeling good about where he and the Chargers are at heading into the bye.
"I'm very optimistic," he said. "It's one of those things where we're looking (ahead) where after this bye week is the second half of the season. Right now we have an above .500 record. We have an opportunity to get on a roll so we can do some good things with this season now moving forward."

Advanced Research
At the extremes of science, research often goes beyond "scientific discovery" to become the discovery of new sciences.
In laboratories around the world, Keysight instrumentation has become an integral part of advanced experimental systems, whether for system control or experiment observation.
Applications include:
- Astrophysics
- Nuclear physics
- Particle physics
- Plasma physics
and other high-energy physics advanced research applications.
Keysight high-speed instruments are used in two major areas:
- Real-time control and measurement
- Single-shot, or event-based measurements
Expanding knowledge on phenomena at galactic or nanometer scale, confidence in results is strengthened by dependable measurement solutions that provide exceptional speed and measurement fidelity. Keysight provides the extreme speed and precision needed for system monitoring and control, and for capturing data from the events at speeds that exceed the interactions of the experiments themselves.

About the Monardas This is a hybrid of the famous American wildflower with the bright red crown-shaped flowers, a description of the large scarlet blooms everyone and every hummingbird loves.
There are other species, but our famous Monarda or Bee Balm is native from the far north all the way south to Georgia, it was first discovered by world famous plant explorer John Bartram during the colonial era. Since its a member of the mint family with fragrant foliage, Bee Balm was always a medicinal plant of the native Americans, and today adds wonderful color to perennial gardens and wildflower meadows. Its a strong-growing perennial that likes moisture, and will grow in sun or partial shade.
As with all Bee Balms, the bloom begins in mid-summer, and if you cut off spent flowers for about three weeks, you'll extend the blooming into fall.

I put this next to red monarda that spreads and the red monarda, which is taller, is taking over this plant. Petite Delight does not spread like other monarda. I've had this plant for 2 years and it has gotten bigger but I will move it somewhere that it can be seen around its neighbors. (I'm in zone 4)

LIHEAP Deadline Extended -- More Time Available To Help PECO Customers Pay Their Energy Bills
To help customers deal with tough economic conditions, the deadline to apply for the federal Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) has been extended to April 26. With only about $40 million remaining to help Pennsylvania's low-income utility customers pay their bills, PECO customers must apply now before money runs out.
LIHEAP is a federal grant program that provides assistance to individuals or families struggling to pay their electric, natural gas or other energy bills. Homeowners, renters, roomers and subsidized housing tenants may be eligible. The cash program provides up to $1,000 in assistance. The LIHEAP Crisis Program provides up to $400 in additional help for emergencies, including preventing utility service from being shut off and reinstating service that has been shut off.
"LIHEAP funding can help struggling families deal with heating bills in this tough economic period," said Patricia King, PECO manager of Universal Services, the department that oversees low-income assistance programs for the company. "It's important people know that help is available, and that they need to take advantage of it now."
To get more information or apply for LIHEAP, customers should call PECO's LIHEAP hotline at 1-800-34-HELP-4, visit www.peco.com/LIHEAP, or visit PECO's Main Office Building at 2301 Market Street in Philadelphia.Grants are based on household size and income, type of fuel used and county of residence – and a family of four with an annual household income of $34,575 can qualify for help. To be eligible, annual household income cannot exceed 150 percent of the federal poverty income guidelines, or:
- $16,755 one-person household
- $22,695 two-person household
- $28,635 three-person household
- $34,575 four-person household

Safety is a concern
WTOP's Neal Augenstein
WASHINGTON - A chance to give to charity or a distraction when drivers are behind the wheel?
Some jurisdictions in the D.C. area are weighing that question as they try to curb roadside solicitation.
Montgomery County has suggested requiring permits for roadside solicitation. Loudoun County is discussing a ban on all roadside solicitation.
Loudoun is also floating an idea that would let firefighters hold their "Fill A Boot" drive at shopping centers instead of stoplights.

Butterfly Party Activities
Even Aleene and Tiffany Windsor showed up to say 'hi!'
After I got home, I just had to add some swirls with a permanent pen. I hung my mosaic on a quilt I have hanging on the wall.
After we were done with our mosaic projects, we journeyed to a dear friends house for a proper English tea prepared by another dear friend and her significant other. My friend's WONDERFUL home overlooks the bay and everywhere you look it is adorned with her amazing watercolor creations. We all loved checking out her 900 square foot studio. We had tons of little sandwiches, sausage rolls, sweets and lovely teas.

Bearskin Helmets Need Trimming -- April Fool's Day, 1980
Soldier, the magazine of the British Army, revealed that the fur on the bearskin helmets worn by the Irish guards while on duty at Buckingham Palace keeps growing and needs to be regularly trimmed:
The most hair-raising fact about the bearskins has been discovered by scientists recently. The skins retain an original hormone, which lives on after the animal has been skinned. Scientists call it otiose and it is hoped it can be put to use in medical research — especially into baldness.
The article quoted Maj. Ursa who noted, "Bears hibernate in the winter and the amazing thing is that in the spring the skins really start to sprout." An accompanying photo showed Guardsmen sitting in an army barbershop having their helmets trimmed. The story was picked up by the London Daily Express and run as a straight story.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
