Welcome to your lodge!
~Joy~ DS1-8/5/05, DS2-10/18/10 (VBAC#1), DS3- 4/11/12 (VBAC#2!)
Thanks, ladies!
I really can't believe I'm already 36 weeks (well, 37 -- and "full term" -- tomorrow!). In some ways this pregnancy has really flown It's my third and will, hopefully, be my third natural child birth. But, more on that later.
I'm really thankful to have you women to share this time with. Since the birth of our daughter, we've moved states and I find the culture in our new city to be rather anti-natural birth. Y'all are a great group of supportive women and I look forward to sharing these next few weeks with you!
I'm Katherine and my hubs is Michael. We'll have been married 8 years in just a couple weeks. We met in high school, but were not high school sweethearts In fact, I thought he was kind of a punk & show-off initially. (Which wasn't true...but his friends were). We were part of the same small youth group at church, but didn't start hanging out until after we'd both graduated high school.
We had a really on and off again relationship for several years before we were married in 2003. Michael was still a student when we got married and we lived in Indiana, where we both grew up, until summer of 2005 when we moved to Dallas for grad school for him (he spent four long years getting a ThM -- master's of theology -- and I'm really proud of him for all the hard work he put into it!). I worked for a non-profit for most of the 4.5 years we lived there. Since our daughter was born, I've been a stay-at-home mom.
I'll write about my previous two pregnancies this weekend!
I've been trying to add some photos, but have forgotten how! If anyone wants to give me a quick tutorial, I'll put up a few
welcome to your lodge! looking forward to following your journey! pic can be added from photobucket (or another photo hosting site) and someone said they can also be added straight from facebook but i don't know how to do that...

Baby #4 11/24/13
I've been having trouble with photos -- mostly from my computer. I'll keep working on it and see if I can manage to get some up
So, we decided shortly after we moved to Dallas to start trying to get pregnant. I started seeing an ob/gyn and she basically told me, based on the length of my cycles, we needed to DTD every other day from days 10-24. Needless to say, I knew nothing about how to determine if I was ovulating. And, we were pretty unsuccessful. We "tried" for a lot of months (some months were rather half-hearted...) and I finally found the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility which taught me a lot about my body. A few months later, in Jan. 2007 after a year of trying, we found out I was pregnant!
My pregnancy with Judah was really easy. I was queasy for about six weeks, but that was about it. I'd started researching natural child birth while trying to get pregnant and was very interested in not having an epi. I'm not sure what all influenced my early decision, but I figured if my mom and thousands of women before me had done it, so could I. I'm pretty stubborn/tenacious, and I pretty quickly latched on to the idea. I talked some with my OB, and she wasn't incredibly supportive. That, based on the lack of attention I got from her led me to start researching midwives.
There were several birth centers/midwives in the city and I found one pretty near us that looked interesting. However, very dear friends of our has recently had a baby and she'd contracted GBS meningitis as she was born. They almost lost her and so the idea of NOT being in a hospital was a BIG deal to both Michael and me. We toured the birth center, asked LOTS of questions and finally decided it was a good place for us. I transferred care around 16 weeks.
Everything else was fairly uneventful, with the exception of being diagnosed with polyhydramnios in early third trimester. At 28 weeks I started measuring big and was at 41 cm by 32 weeks. Yikes!! The MW wanted to make sure everything was okay with me and baby, and that I wasn't having twins, so I had several high tech u/s with a MFM. Everything was okay and then at 34 weeks, everything was back to normal. Weird, to say the least But we were thankful.
I was very active, worked full-time and felt great all the through the rest of pregnancy. My due date came and went and I had an appointment at 40w6d. I had started feeling a few light contractions, which was new to me, in the morning before my appointment. The MW offered to do a sweep and I declined since things seemed to be progressing.
After the appointment, we ran a few errands, went home and I took a nap in the afternoon. When I woke up around 4pm, things were definitely picking up. We started timing contractions and by 6 or 7pm, we called the midwife. She offered to meet us at the BC an hour later and so we packed up everything and met her around 8pm.
I LOVED laboring at the BC -- a beautiful, old Victorian home. I was 4cm when we arrived and since things continued to pick up, I got in the tub about an hour later. Heaven! I felt really well cared for by Michael, our MW and her birth assistant. I allowed the MW to break my water around 11pm and she thought we'd have a baby by midnight. However, I had a cervical lip that refused to move. That was probably the most painful part of labor for me! Finally, I was fully dilated, hopped up on the bed and Judah was born about 15 minutes later, a little before 1am -- 41weeks exactly. He was 8lbs6oz and had a rather large head! His birth was a truly amazing, empowering experience.
I only have one photo of his birth already uploaded to PB...
After Judah was born, it took longer than Michael expected for us to be ready to another baby. We started trying again when he was about a year (I know, I know...not that long! ) and by Christmas we found out I was pregnant again -- only three months this time
My pregnancy with Sophie was really similar, initially, to my first -- though I was a little queasier. We used the same MWs/BC and it was fun to be back, talking about babies and pregnancy. We decided not to find out gender, and since I always measured spot-on with her, we never had an u/s. It was my lowest tech pregnancy so far Which is nice considering her birth was pretty crazy...
I had my 39w5d appointment at the end of Aug, 2009. I declined an internal exam, which our midwife later said she was surprised she hadn't pressed me on it. It might have been helpful information later in the day My sister, who was planning to be at the birth -- partially because she'd been at Judah's and partially to help with Judah -- came over for dinner with her fiance. I'd started having regular contractions while they were at our place, but didn't mention it to anyone. After they left, I told Michael it might be the night.
We watched a movie and after I fell asleep quickly after realizing the contractions had spaced out to 20 minutes apart. I was bummed because I thought labor was fizzling. I figured I?d wake up in the morning, like normal, and we?d go on about our life. In fact, Michael had planned a ?fun day? for our family. Despite being disappointed about labor dying down, I was looking forward to spending the next afternoon with my ?men.?
I woke up suddenly at 2:33am. I might have been having a contraction, but what I realized was that I had to go to the bathroom. as I left the bathroom, I had a really strong contraction that had me leaning on the sink and breathing deeply. I woke up Michael to help me keep track of the time. I had another contraction 10 minutes later that was equally as strong. And then, they started coming five minutes apart, lasting 30-40 seconds.
We timed contractions for an hour ? I tried to lie down, but spent most of that time on my birth ball. After an hour at 4am, we called our midwife Cherie. We chatted for awhile, she listened to me through a couple contractions. Since she wasn?t the midwife to deliver Judah, she asked about how long I?d pushed with him. Because I?d had the lip of cervix, which I'd pushed through, I ended up pushing about 1.5 hours, which is what I told her. However, once that lip was gone, I pushed about three times, which is the information she wanted.
If I had known to tell her that, the story might not have been as exciting.
At that point, my contractions were very painful, but I only felt them low in my abdomen. Cherie wanted us to call back when the contractions were higher and longer ? she told me that would probably be an hour or two. She also recommended I take a bath.
The bath wasn't as comfortable as I'd hoped it'd be and so, I didn?t stay in long. I kept wondering, sometimes out loud, why we didn?t choose to go to the hospital so I could have an epidural. I also wanted to be at the birth center instead of at home ? labor felt much more intense than I remembered and I wanted the support of our birth team.
Around 4:30 or 4:45, I started to feel really panicky during contractions -- which was definitely transition, I just didn't realize it. I also told Michael I thought i might throw up. I had to hold his hand or touch him during each contraction so that I stayed ?grounded? and focused through the pain. still, I was only feeling contractions low and they were varying between 45 and 60 seconds, but not consistent.
We called Cherie at 5am. She asked if I was ready, and said I was. She told me she was dressed and would meet us at the center. We had farther to drive than she did, so I never thought to call her when things picked up. I also should have told her initially I was feeling a lot of pressure in my bottom and that I was feeling panicky. However, for some reason, those things didn?t cross my mind. I just wanted to get to the center.
Michael finished gathering a few things while I rocked on the ball. At some point about five or ten minutes after I talked to Cherie, right as he was getting up Judah, things changed for me ? I needed to push. I looked at him abruptly and said, we need to leave NOW.
The drive to the birth center, which is 15 minutes, was excruciating; I felt every bump and every pothole. With every contraction, I tried to breathe deeply and to not push, but they were awful. Like many women say, it really felt like a freight train moving through my body and I could do little to stop it, especially while seated in the passenger?s seat! While driving, Michael called both sets of parents and my sisters ? including Suzanne who was meeting us at the center. The whole ride, I was encouraging him to run red lights, which he did, and get there as fast as he could.
Right before we got to the center, I had a contraction that required me to push. At that point, my water also broke. Fortunately, it didn?t gush yet. As Michael stopped the car, I jumped out and almost ran up the stairs to the porch. I was surprised to find the house dark and the door locked. I couldn?t figure out why Cherie hadn?t turned on the lights, which is now kinda funny to me.
I kept telling Michael, this baby is coming, this baby is coming. I think he knew things were serious when we got in the car, but it obviously wasn?t until then that either of us thought we might have an unassisted birth. I was scared to be just the two of us, but knew I couldn?t NOT push. I pulled my pants to my knees and knelt and leaned on a bench on the porch. Michael considered calling 911 because we were only three blocks from a major hospital, but called Cherie instead (the time stamp on his cell phone was 5:38am; we'd been on the porch only a minute or two). She was four blocks away and sped toward us. At that point,I asked michael to help me take my pants all the way off. I felt the baby?s head and knew I couldn?t stop her from being born. All I kept saying, over and over, was this baby is coming.
All of a sudden, Cherie was on the porch with us. She told us that when she got to the porch, the baby?s head was almost out; she could almost feel the ears. She and Michael helped me to sit back and with one more half push, Sophie was born. Cherie later told us that Sophie had her cord around her neck fairly tightly. We estimated her time of birth to be 5:40am, based on the time Mchael called Cherie.
Because of our location, Cherie ran inside to grab supplies while Michael and I tried to get Sophie to cry (she did finally whimper). We immediately cut the cord so we could be moved. Cherie gave the baby to Michael and helped me inside without making a mess. This was the point where Michael was most scared ? he was left with the baby, whose face was bruised from being born so quickly and with her cord around her neck, and Cherie was tending to me. We later talked to her about it and she said she wasn?t at all concerned for the baby because she had made noise and breathed. her main concern at that point was getting all of us inside so she could see and assess Sophie from there.
Despite all the chaos, we were both okay. We ended up heading home six hours later.
A couple photos of Sophie's birth...
Love your stories! I remember Sophie's birth!
Where will you be birthing this time? It will be interesting to see just how quickly this birth might go for you!
Mara & Joel, 2009
Mara, we'll be in a hospital this time. We moved when Sophie was about seven months old and our new city doesn't have a birth center at all -- closest is 4 hours away! -- and really isn't that natural-birth friendly, IMO. I found a midwife I really like and she delivers at a very NCB hospital (kinda weird for our area, but I'll take it!). I have the option of a water birth and, in general, the standard procedures at the hospital are things we would have wanted in our birth plan. The other major hospital in town has a very high c-section rate and is completely opposite in other regards, so I'm thankful for this option!
The interesting (to me) thing is that I actually might end up being attended by my MW's partnering OB. And, I'm okay with that When I had my first appointment in May, there was my MW, her partner MW and the "high-risk-emergency-c-section" OB in the practice. A few weeks ago, the other MW left, so now the OB and MW share being on-call for all patients. I've seen him my last few appointments and have really grown to like him. He won't "hold my hand" through labor like the MW would, but he will be great if that's who is on call. He is perhaps even more NCB than the MW...and she's pretty laid back! He's even toured the BC where I had our first two. Kinda cool!
This pregnancy has been slightly higher tech than Sophie's. We had an early u/s (basically the NT scan, but I declined the blood draw part) and an anatomy scan at 21 weeks. Still was queasy for several weeks at the beginning and I've measured big (though no mention of polyhydramnios this time) for awhile. At my appointment last week, my OB said he thinks baby is about 7.25 lbs -- hopefully less than 9lbs at birth, even if he's born at 40 weeks. At one point, I thought he might be bigger, so I can handle that.
After I got pregnant again and started telling my new friends the story of Sophie's birth, I started to realize how traumatic it was for me in many ways -- how alone I felt, especially. I know most NCBers want to labor at home as long as possible, but not making it to the hospital is really scary to me. I've talked about it with our MW and OB and they've assured me that I don't have to stay home if I don't want to. We'll probably do a cervical check at 39 weeks (and maybe 38 weeks, though neither routinely does them), just so I know where I'm starting when I do go into labor.
To make it a little more crazy, I got my GBS results back and I'm positive. I'm not looking forward to the IV/hep lock, but I'll manage. Unless this baby really decides to take his time, I imagine we won't make it to the hospital for two doses of antibiotic, though, so we'll likely have to stay the full 48 hours for him to be "observed." But, based on our friends' situation I mentioned earlier, we would probably ask for that anyway.
This is getting long....but, today I woke up feeling really crampy/contractiony. Nothing time-able since I got up, but its the first time I've really felt anything (besides the random BH). So, something's happening! Wish I knew whether it would be later today, later this week or still a couple weeks away! That would definitely make the waiting easier!

Kevin Youkilis is thriving in White Sox' relaxed atmosphere

BOSTON — Boston reporters who've been around White Sox third baseman Kevin Youkilis for a long time say Youkilis looked as though the weight of the world was lifted off his shoulders the day he played his first game with his new teammates and manager Robin Ventura.
That was in Minnesota on June 25. Three weeks later, Youkilis is thoroughly enjoying a relaxed atmosphere in the clubhouse.
"Yeah, this is great,'' Youkilis said Wednesday. "Come to the field every day and you just play baseball. Not much is said other than: 'Just go out there and do it.' They give us the luxury of being baseball players and going about our business in the right way every day. And until we don't — and I don't see that happening — they're going to be here to help us out when we need the help and let us play.''
In Boston, media attention gets close to suffocating at times. The Bobby Valentine situation only made that worse for Youkilis, who, at 34, knows how to get himself ready to play without much help from a coaching staff.
"Yeah, Robin is great about that,'' Youkilis said. "He just comes in, has fun, talks a little bit and mainly keeps us loose. It's awesome. It's a fun environment.''
Rotation plan
Philip Humber, who pitched six strong innings Tuesday in his return from the disabled list, will pitch against Jacob Turner in the finale of the weekend series in Detroit on Sunday. It's Jake Peavy against Justin Verlander on Friday and Chris Sale against Rick Porcello on Saturday. If Gavin Floyd (elbow tendinitis) doesn't return from the disabled list Monday, Dylan Axelrod likely will take the start. The rotation is lined up for Sale to get an extra day next Friday in Texas after a day off.
Ventura likes the flexibility Axelrod affords as a long reliever and spot starter. That's preferred to making repeated minor-league call-ups.
"You have a guy you know can come in and do it,'' Ventura said.
A day after Adam Dunn got his first stolen base since 2008, Paul Konerko played his 2,000th game as a White Sox player.
"Longevity is not an easy thing, especially with the same team,'' Ventura said. "He'll get his number retired someday.''
The 6-6, 275-pound Dunn, who stole 19 bases with the Reds in 2002, caught the Red Sox off guard when he stole second base in the third inning Tuesday. He said he'll do it again if the situation warrants it.
"I said to Robin, 'Hey, listen, man. If he gives it to me, I'm going to go first pitch,' '' Dunn said. "I was thinking he'd start Paul off with a changeup. I took a chance.''
Dunn looks better running this season. He's in good shape, and "nothing hurts, that's the main thing,'' he said.
This and that
The Sox, who've been busy during the international signing period, agreed to terms with three Dominican prospects: corner outfielder Hanlet Otano, third baseman Luis Castillo and shortstop Johan Cruz.

Do you have any warning lights illuminated? If yes, have the computer scanned for trouble codes.
If no warning lights, it is very possible you have a fuel issue because fuel pump problems rarely (usually never) set the check engine light. It is still a good idea to have it diagnosed.
Here's an article that may help isolate the conditions under which your stalling occurs. If the diagnosing technician can duplicate the problem, there is a greater chance of solving the problem. hope this helps!

In the comments section the other day, Uwe Reinhardt wrote:
Krugman is not even a tenth as stupid as the supercilious commentary on this blog suggests.
Which got me to thinking. Is Paul Krugman treated fairly at this blog? In general, the blogosphere is a surprisingly congenial place. The comments can get out of line, of course, but most bloggers — right and left — are respectful of those they disagree with. At the bloggers conferences I have attended, everyone gets along just fine — regardless of political differences.
Krugman, however, presents a special problem for economists — regardless of their political preferences and regardless of whether they blog.
Let's start with last Friday's column. It was about the sad state of the labor market.
Since Barack Obama took office almost 10 million people have dropped out of the labor force. More than half a million dropped out in the last month alone. Today, a record 90 million people — almost one third of the entire population — are not working and not even looking for a job.

AFC opens investigation into Lebanese matchfixing, defender denies claims
Published on Feb 27, 2013 5:25 PM
KUALA LUMPUR (REUTERS) - The Asian Football Confederation are investigating a report of matchfixing in Lebanon, the regional body said on Wednesday, after the World Cup hopefuls handed out punishments to 22 players for rigging games.
The Lebanese Football Federation on Tuesday announced the punishments, including lifetime bans for Malaysian-based defender Ramez Dayoub and Indonesian-based forward Mahmoud El Ali, after a two-month investigation involving over 60 witnesses.
"We have received a report today and our disciplinary committee are looking into it," an AFC spokesman said.
Dayoub, who along with Ali was fined US$15,000 (S$18.765), denied the allegations and said he would fight to clear his name.

Sen. Steve Hobbs, D-Lake Stevens, was named recently to a task force established to determine the best methods to help Washington state convince Boeing to build the new 777x airplane here.
The task force—which includes legislators from both parties, as well as labor leaders, business interests and representatives from the aerospace community—held its first meeting on Oct. 2.
"The hard truth that Democrats, Republicans, business and labor are going to have to realize is that towing the party line is not going to work here," Hobbs said. "Compromise is going to be the only way we create the environment necessary to allow our state's aerospace industry to continue to thrive."

A Brazilian beverage company is using some familiar Internet characters to market their 'Keep Cooler' alcoholic drinks. The Internet meme drinks feature the classic 'troll' face, the 'Me Gusta' man and the 'Forever Alone' meme. It's hard to say if the faces have anything to do with the different 'Keep Cooler' flavors, but I'd be willing to bet that the 'Me Gusta' drink is packing the best punch.
The meme faces have become a highly recognizable part of the Web, but are nearly impossible to attribute to one individual or original source. Because of this, the three faces are currently not under copyright and can be used by various sites and companies, even in advertising.
Brazilian winemaker Vinicola Aurora's Internet meme drinks are already being sold in Brazil and Venezuela. Would you give the 'Keep Cooler' drinks a shot?

Nov. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Britain's highest court ruled judges don't need to evenly divide the value of a home owned by an unmarried couple when they split up without determining who owns what share of the property.
The U.K. Supreme Court awarded today 90 percent of a disputed home's value to former hairdresser Patricia Jones, who had paid the mortgage alone for about 13 years, while her former partner Leonard Kernott, an ice cream salesman, was given 10 percent. Kernott had sought half of the value of the home, which was purchased for 30,000 pounds ($47,853) in 1985 and valued at 245,000 pounds in April 2008, when the case went to trial. Kernott had moved out of the home in 1993.
The Supreme Court judgment overturned a Court of Appeal decision in favor of an equal split and affirmed a lower court's original ruling.
"Although this may have produced a 'fair' outcome in this case, the introduction of the concept of fairness within cohabitation disputes is likely to result in significant factual and evidential arguments in future cases," said Claire Blakemore, a lawyer at Withers LLP in London.
Kernott argued that shortly after the house was purchased, he helped with construction that expanded the size of the house and increased its value by about half, according to the ruling. However, the home appreciated much faster during the time that Jones was paying on her own, it said.
The judgment "will surely lead to more litigation as co- owners attempt to unscramble what is really a fairly incomprehensible area of the law," said Victoria Francis, a lawyer at Speechly Bircham in London.
The judgment is a sign that courts will be forced to set precedents on matters of cohabitation until lawmakers enact legislation, said Sandra Davis, who leads the family law practice at Mishcon de Reya in London.
"No matter what the courts try to do to help separating couples, their decisions are no substitute for carefully drafted legislation," Davis said.

UNM regents to consider investing in high-tech hub
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — An effort to establish a high-tech research and development center in downtown Albuquerque could get an infusion of cash depending on what the University of New Mexico's Board of Regents decides.
The regents will review proposals to invest $13 million in the Innovate ABQ initiative during a special meeting Friday. It will be their first opportunity to fully vet the project.
It is modeled on a similar technology jobs "ecosystem" around the University of Florida in Gainesville.

Jennifer Hudson's 7-year-old nephew, Julian King, whom she called Tugga Bear, was murdered by his stepfather, William Balfour, who also killed Hudson's mother and brother, in 2008.
Updated: June 14, 2012 8:25AM
We can't help but wonder what the future might have held for Julian King had he not been killed at the gentle age of 7.
What chance, we must ask, did little Julian have of growing up safe and healthy, on the right side of the law and successful in life?
Not enough chance. He was loved and prized, without a doubt. But he was surrounded, as well, by lawlessness and danger.
As we followed the trial of William Balfour, the now-convicted murderer of singer Jennifer Hudson's family, we came to believe that there was one true innocent in this tragic story, Hudson's nephew, Julian.
And how sad it is, we thought, that even his murder has failed to shine a spotlight on the plight of all the Julians in this city, children raised in homes and neighborhoods full of violence and crime, the odds stacked again them.
Julian lived in a house where an uncle, according to testimony at the trial, cooked cocaine down to crack in the kitchen.
The uncle, Jason Hudson, sold drugs right out of the house, with a cocaine addict manning the door.
The uncle walked with a limp, the result of getting shot during a home invasion in Michigan a few years before.
Julian's stepfather, Balfour, had been convicted of attempted murder in 1999. He repeatedly flew into rages and vowed to kill the entire family, shouting so loudly that at least once a neighbor on the sidewalk heard him.
"A few shootouts," another witness testified, had taken place on the block during that summer of 2008, just a couple of months before Julian, his uncle and his grandmother were killed.
To be clear, Julian was not failed by every adult in his short life. His mother, Julia Hudson, worked to provide for him. She drove a bus. And his famous aunt, Jennifer Hudson, tried to lift and save her troubled family.
When the family's home in Englewood was burglarized that summer, Jennifer paid for new windows, locks and even bars. She gave her sister Julia an expensive treadmill to help her lose weight.
She woke up every morning to a text message from her mother, Darnell Donerson, and she gave her mother signed blank checks to be used to pay for groceries and clothing and other expenses.
Jennifer lovingly called Julian her Tugga Bear.
This is how it so often goes in families and neighborhoods on the edge. Working people who drag themselves out of bed at dawn live side by side with drug dealers who get up in the afternoon. Loving people live with dangerous people.
And the children grow up in between, catching a break or no break at all.

It is no longer news that women all over the world are allowed only limited roles in the society. Most women lack the educational and economic resources that would enable them challenge the prevailing social order and have generally accepted their inferior status and continued to suffer in silence.
My vision for my life is to become actively involved in agitating and working towards women liberation. My vision is of a world, devoid of any form of discrimination against women, where women are empowered to assume their rightful places in the society. To help bring to limelight those "silent voices". With my story to give life, hope and courage and with my dedication to transform many lives for the better.
Millennium development goals NO 4 and 5 commits governments to reducing child mortality and maternal rates, and call for better reproductive health services. This is based on the understanding that sexual violence causes multiple reproductive health problems, teenage pregnanacy, unsafe sexual behavior and sexually transmitted diseases. Unwanted pregnancy, pregnancy complications, miscarriage, low birth weight and maternal mortality can also result from domestic violence. So many issues and challenges face women in our society today. There is a continuous manifestation of gender violence throughout the phases in a woman's life.
In the prenatal phase, there is prenatal sex selection, battering during pregnancy, coerced pregnancy, and rape during war. As an infant, there is female infanticide, emotional and physical abuse, differential access to food, medical care and education, child prostitution and trafficking. As an adolescent, dating and courtship violence, economically coerced sex, sexual abuse in the workplace, rape, sexual harassment and forced prostitution. A woman of reproductive age experiences abuse by intimate partners, marital rape, dowry abuse and murders,partner homicide, psychological abuse, sexual abuse in the workplace, sexual harassment, rape and abuse of women with disabilities. During old age, abuse of widows and elder abuse.
The list of crime against the female gender is endless.
My continued search for a wider platform to enable me achieve my vision, brought me to WORLDPULSE.Ever since I joined, I have come to experience a rapid and interesting process of personal growth, realizing where I am at every step of the way bearing in mind that the journey is also part of the destination.
WORLDPULSE has given me the awareness and is helping me translate my knowledge into a compelling vision. I am all set to taking back the wisdom of the feminine. I have learnt how to face my fear, instead of closing my heart and running away from my emotions. I am regaining connection with my physical body as well as the body of the earth and creating the trinity of home, roots and community. Indeed, it is my time to flourish.
As a young activist and visionary who care deeply about women issues locally and globally, becoming a Voices of Our Future Correspondent will enable me amplify my voice, develop networks and collaborate with other change makers around the world. This is a sure path of achieving my vision of becoming actively involved in agitating and working towards women liberation.
PULSEWIRE is more than a home to me, offering all the tools I need to achieve my dreams. The Action center which showcases the Resource exchange, Action alerts and Global gatherings have become an indispensable tool in my journey. I have begun to reach out to women in my immediate community, inviting them to PULSWIRE and have started reaching out to members individually.
The journey for me has just begun. I am submitting this last assignment with mixed feelings, praying that this long-awaited opportunity will not pass me by.
I am so grateful to WORLDPILSE and all the wonderful people I have met herein for activating the passion and courage in me and I promise to continue working towards eradicating the regressive pulls on Women all over the world.
Greetings from a listener
I am your listener for the last assignment. Let me say I am glad to hear you are using World Pulse to reach out to other groups in your area. Be the change! Your piece was spot on with regards to gender issues. I especially liked how you broke it down generationally. This is a heavy topic, my only one suggestion would be a personal story to pull the reader in even more. You are an amazing voice for change and I hope to see the same thing in the future as you. I wish you the best of luck.
Thank you
Dear Nnenna,
I really enjoyed reading your post. You have a strong, mature voice and write with such eloquence and passion. I wish you all the best in your many challenging, yet inspiring endeavors.
Take care,
I admire and recognize that you're a passionate and committed individual.Good luck on your journey

Wednesday's Small-Cap Winners & Losers
Small-cap stocks were mostly crawling beneath the sinking major indices Wednesday amidst disappointing earnings from a variety of sectors.
Veraz Networks (VRAZ) shares plunged more than 40% after the communication-equipment maker sharply missed Wall Street expectations for the third quarter. The San Jose, Calif., company swung to a profit of $332,000, or a penny a share, from a steep year-ago loss, but analysts were looking for 2 cents more. Jefferies downgraded the stock to hold from buy. Shares were off $3.28 to $4.84.
Also in the tech sector, Imergent (IIG) sank 19.1% to $17.80 after the purveyor of e-commerce technology posted a fiscal first-quarter loss of $800,000, or 7 cents a share. Last year the Orem, Utah, company delivered a profit of 18 cents a share.
Construction company MasTec (MTZ), meanwhile, took a 25.9% nose dive after pro forma income dropped 18.2% from last year to 18 cents a share, missing targets by a penny. On a GAAP basis, it swung to a continuing-operations loss of 40 cents a share thanks in large part to expensive settlements on "various legacy legal claims, cases and other disputes." Shares of the Coral Gables, Fla., company were losing $3.66 to $10.46.And Georgia's Carmike Cinemas (CKEC) tumbled 19.7% on a wide miss. The movie theater operator posted a profit of $2 million, or 16 cents a share, against a year-ago loss, but analysts were seeking a profit of 37 cents a share. Revenue, at $135.3 million, was also below par despite representing a gain over last year. Shares were changing hands at $3.02.

UNCLE SAM'S EMPTY POCKETS increasingly are weakening America's influence on the international scene. Nowhere is that more evident than with regard to the International Development Association, the World Bank affiliate that lends to the world's poorest, least creditworthy countries. Over the past year, the United States has avoided any commitments when it comes to increasing the IDA's resources. At a meeting now under way in Japan, the Bush administration's continuing vacillation is endangering America's stature in the developing world.
The United States has long been among the IDA's strongest supporters, and Washington exercises substantial control over the organization's operation. And there is no doubt that the IDA serves U.S. interests. It sends aid to nations that may be too poor even to qualify for regular World Bank loans, providing a key source of funds for food, health care and education. By
helping sustain cash economies, it assures markets for goods from the developed world.But when it comes to kicking in money to help the IDA's lending keep up with inflation, the administration hasn't been able to make up its mind. Politically, it's a winner: The IDA, which loaned out $4.9 billion over the last fiscal year, enjoys far stronger congressional support than World Bank programs for middle-income countries. But upping the U.S. contribution by about $100 million a year means increasing the federal budget deficit by the same amount.
The Treasury is willing to do that, but the Office of Management and Budget says no. So far, President Bush has been unwilling to resolve the matter.
Fourteen months ago, at the 1988 World Bank annual meeting in Berlin, IDA donors agreed to decide on replenishing the agency's resources by September 1989. World Bank President Barber Conable has proposed $14.5 billion over three years, of which the U.S. share would be $1.05 billion annually, up slightly from the current level. But at September's World Bank meeting in Washington, the United States managed to gain a two-month postponement. On Thursday, at the meeting of IDA donors in Japan that was supposed to resolve the issue, U.S. delegates still were unable to state Washington's position.
The other major donor nations view the IDA as a U.S. problem. The European Community has served notice that if Washington dithers, it will do its share for the world's poorest by increasing direct aid to former European colonies. Japan, the other major IDA donor, would be happier spending its money on the Asian Development Bank than subsidizing far-off Africa. Either move would diminish U.S. influence and weaken a multilateral institution the United States has supported for decades.
The United States cannot turn its back either on its moral obligation to assist poor nations or its responsibility for exercising international leadership. There is no excuse for postponing a decision on the IDA once more.

Ravens' Reed, Mason mulling retirement
Updated: January 17, 2010, 5:36 PM ETBy James Walker | ESPN.com
INDIANAPOLIS -- Pro Bowl safety Ed Reed said Saturday that he's "50-50" on whether he will retire or return to the Baltimore Ravens for another NFL season. Reed, 31, admits that Baltimore's 20-3 loss to the Indianapolis Colts stings and that he doesn't want to make an emotional decision. But after dealing with a serious neck injury for the past few seasons, Reed said that retirement is an option. "It's 50-50," Reed said. "I got great doctors that I deal with. So I'm going to re-evaluate things and see how it goes. ... At the end of the day, it's my decision to play with injuries going forward for my career."Ravens No. 1 receiver Derrick Mason also said Saturday night that he's undecided on his playing future. Mason, 36, completed the final year of his contract with Baltimore and will become a free agent in March.Reed had groin and foot injuries during the season. He recorded 50 tackles and three interceptions in the regular season and added another interception Saturday against Indianapolis. Along with linebacker Ray Lewis, Reed has been the heart and soul of the Ravens and their well-respected defense. But the team's most recent defeat seemed to hit Reed harder than most losses. "It's very tough because these opportunities don't come often," Reed said. "As a player getting older, you don't know how much you can last. So it's hard, man. It's really hard." Mason briefly retired last summer following the passing of close friend and former teammate Steve McNair. Mason cited the emotional trauma as a major reason he briefly called it quits and admitted that he still has to decide if his heart is into playing."I got some months to think about it," said Mason, who led the Ravens this season with 1,028 receiving yards. "I'm not in a rush. If I decide to play, obviously this would be a place that I'll come back to. All the pieces are in place. But I have to think about my two little [children]."James Walker covers the AFC North for ESPN.com.

Hello Summoners, fellow ARAM regulars and beginners
Here is a compiled list of known Howling Abyss Easter Eggs:
First Blood > View the top-left of the map > The Proving Grounds / Murder Bridge falls
If you wait a while after the Victory (doesn't include a defeat) screen after the end of the game, you will be able to hear Lissandra talk about herself and the Abyss.
If opposing teams have an Ashe and a Lissandra, a secondary quest notification pops up for Lissandra to kill Ashe (with voice notification)
Whoever wins this quest gets a crown on their head
Upon feeding a poro 10 poro-snax:
Grows Big > Explodes > Poro Explosion!
Choosing a Frejlord character have new character lines
The shopkeeper has different lines for all champions
Neat Fact: The purple shopkeeper's name is Lyte, Ezreal's Uncle
Neat Fact: The blue shopkeeper's name is Greyor
Apparently Ashe wants to kill Sejuani (a quest pops up) and Lissandra wants to kill Ashe. I'm assuming Sejuani wants to kill Lissandra.
If this cycle is true then the Secondary Quest Notification can be changed to this.
Whoever wins this quest gets a crown on their head
Fact or Fiction?
Apparently if an entire team feeds a single Poro it would grow into a really big Poro. I haven't done this yet, I was wondering if anyone out there would shed some light on this
IElvaI Hyperion
when I had a game where 1 team had ashe, 1 had lissandra a secondary quest showed up... was about liss to kill ashe. all it did is play some voice lines I think.
about the big poro: I saw that in a video, and after feeding 10 snax, it explodes into 10 small poros
i dont think thats the proving grounds that breaks, because it has the statues lining the sides just like the new howling abyss. maybe its supposed to represent it, but if so, riot is clearly bad then.
poros run from champs, so its easy to tell if a champ is in a bush or not. and if you want a list of references in shop keeper quotes, just look at the list on the wikia.
There are Creeper faces from minecraft on the crumbling bridge that /is not/ the proving grounds.

Did you guys know...Anivia has a new set of lines for the howling abyss? Should listen next time...see what other freljord Characters have new lines. This is really neat actually...Riot, amazing job on all the hidden easter eggs.
Edit: Oh, and just so you know, I only get to hear Lissandra after a win. I was waiting for ever after a loss, to see if she spoke...but nothing. So It seems to be only after a win. Though, it doesn't matter what side you are on.
Ive heard the shopkeeper on the purple (?) team, the tinkerer fellow with the robot, say unique lines to Jayce. I just think you need to click on him to here it.

I remember being a teenager and my sister telling me to make sure I at least smile when men hit on me in the street, even if i didn't want it. Of course I challenged her thought, why should I smile at advances I don't desire? Then she continued on, telling me a story of a girl in our neighborhood who was hit in the face with a rock because she ignored a man's advances. It was after that conversation that I assumed that for my safety I would have to appease the egos of men as I…Continue

The decision of "separate but equal" from the landmark 1896 Supreme Court case of Plessy v. Ferguson reversed the small progress that was made combating racism after the Civil War. The decision would trigger three distinct waves of boycotts by black American against racial discrimination. It also marked a dramatic surge of black entrepreneurship in the transportation field.

Fully one hundred years before the Voting Rights Act of 1965, black activists in the South launched a bold campaign for universal black suffrage. It is a stirring part of American history that most Americans were never taught. And the history leading up to it—abolitionist activities and effective black resistance to slavery in the South—has also been obscured.

While musically, her songs fall pretty squarely in line with the vocal jazz sounds of the late 50's, her songs have not aged into elegance and irrelevance the way many of her contemporaries have. Listening to the landmark 1964 live album Nina Simone in Concert, her performance isn't merely electric.…Continue

.- This afternoon President Barack Obama signed the executive order created to ensure that federal funds will not be used under the new health care law to pay for most abortions, mirroring the Hyde Amendment.
The executive order was signed by the president as part of a deal with Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.), who voted for the health care bill after securing the assurance of the order. Stupak revealed in the wake of the negotiations that Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) had the votes to pass the bill without his bloc's support, and that the executive order was the best pro-lifers could do.
The order confirms that the long-standing ban on the federal funding of abortions—except in cases of rape, incest or danger to the woman's life—will apply to the Health Insurance Exchange and the funding of Community Health Centers.
The executive order has been criticized by the U.S. Catholic bishops and numerous pro-life groups as lacking teeth since the president could rescind it at any time or it could be struck down in court.

Hello all,
Is it just me, or is it annoying when you create a user manually in Office 365, then specify their country... but then when they logon for the first time, they're prompted to specify their time zone.
Why on earth would you specify UK as your country and a different time zone? Where's the logic?
I understand you can change your time zone if you regularly moved country to country on business, but when initially creating an account surely it would be logical to associate the country and its default time zone?
I know I can run PowerShell scripts to change the time zone in bulk, but still, adding the odd user here or there it's just an additional step for that user.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Do not pass go, do not inherit $200... really
John's family plays the board game Monopoly at each and every family gathering. Birthday parties, Christmas, whatever -- the board game comes out. When it came time to make his will, John told his lawyer he had an idea. John had beautiful and valuable antique furniture. Could he have his nieces and nephews play a game of Monopoly and have the winner of the game take all of the furniture as an inheritance?
The idea is not a new one. A rich and eccentric English gentleman owned a palatial house in the tropics and, in his will, directed his nephews to gather there after his death and throw dice. The nephew able to throw the highest number would win the mansion. When the gentleman died, the executor followed the terms of the will. He invited the nephews to make the trip to the island and try their hand with the dice. The executor made the trip, as well, to supervise the process. Three nephews took turns throwing a pair of dice. One lucky nephew walked away with the deed to the property. The result was upheld in court. A game of chance is an acceptable legal mechanism to give away specific property under a will.
John's story is real. The names involved and some of the details have been changed to preserve confidentiality.
Most of us will be less flamboyant when it comes time to give away our personal effects. We have items such as jewelry, tools, papers and golf clubs, as well as furniture. What are the more common options included in wills to give those items away at death?
First, you can be silent on point. If the will does not specifically deal with your personal effects, then those items will be disposed of at the discretion of the person you name as executor under the will. The executor can sell them or give them to the beneficiaries entitled to inherit the final balance of your estate under the will. Items of little value might be given to charity or taken to the dump.
Second, you can have a clause that directs your children or other beneficiaries to get together and try to agree on who gets what. The executor has to be given the final say.
Third, you can leave the final say with the executor but leave guidance in the form of a list you make from time to time and store alongside the will. The will directs the executor to look for the list and give it effect by giving out the items to the persons named to receive them. That option is flexible but not binding. If any heir entitled to the body of the estate objects, the item or the cash from its sale has to be kept and given to them. As a variant, some people put labels on each item of value in their house. Flip over a table -- you will find a note on the bottom of it saying, "Jane's." Again, that is a convenient solution but non-binding.
Fourth, you can write a list of specific gifts right into the will before you sign it. The will has to be clear. An example might read, "Give my painting of three dogs playing poker to my friend Bob Smith." This kind of clause is binding. No matter how much some other beneficiary might like the painting, they cannot thwart Bob.
Fifth, a rotating-pick system is often built into wills. If you have four children, you would direct they draw numbers out of a hat, from one to four. The numbers set the order in which they pick items. The person with number one picks first, the person with number two picks second and so on. They rotate through that list over and over until they drop out when nothing is left that interests them.
That list is not exhaustive. People are creative. A host of other mechanisms have been written into wills. What about John? He is still alive, but he had the lawyer draft and include the "Monopoly clause" in his will.

Hopefully Egyptian Army will act similary to the Turkish one under such circumstances: after removing Islamists from power it'll return to its garrisons allowing for a democratic election. And since many Egyptians who initially voted for Morsi and his MB admit now they were wrong - a more moderate government will be elected.

A few days ago, some idiot drove through Battlefield Memorial Park in Savannah, GA and did $25,000 worth of damage to the Soldiers Stone Monument, which commemorates one of the Revolutionary War's bloodiest engagements. The Coastal Heritage Society is offering $1,000 for information leading to the arrest of whoever's responsible, so if you know something and you'd like to pocket a grand, give them a call.

SCV helps keep Davis capture site open
Jefferson Davis Memorial Historic Site, which preserves and interprets the location of the Confederate president's capture in 1865, was in serious danger of closing because the State of Georgia pulled its funding. Some folks have thankfully stepped in to keep it open, with the SCV pledging up to $25,000 annually. We historical bloggers are seldom reluctant to criticize the Sons of Confederate Veterans when they do wrong, so it's only fair that we commend them when they do right.

Uproar over a statue, and this time it's not a Confederate
Thomas Watson of Georgia began his political career in the late nineteenth century as a Populist champion of small farmers and opponent of powerful railroad companies. As a congressman, he was instrumental in implementing Rural Free Delivery by the postal service.
By the early twentieth century, however, Watson was lending his voice to prejudice rather than reform with his virulent denunciations of Catholics, blacks, and Jews. His condemnations of northern and Jewish influence in the wake of Leo Frank's 1913 trial for the murder of Mary Phagan contributed to the anti-Semitic feeling against Frank that resulted in his August 1915 lynching.
There's a statue of Watson on the grounds of the Georgia State Capitol, but as of this month it's slated to be moved across the street to make way for a renovation project. The statue's removal apparently has nothing to do with Watson's bigotry and everything to do with the prohibitive cost of moving it back once the renovations are done, but it's prompted an interesting discussion about historical memory and one political figure's very mixed and quite troubling legacy.

Various items worthy of note
- I can't believe I forgot to mention this until now, but it's time for John Sevier Days Living History Weekend at Marble Springs State Historic Site in Knoxville, TN. The action starts tomorrow and continues through Sunday—reenacting, demonstrations, food, and presentations on the Lost State of Franklin and King's Mountain. It'll be a blast, so stop by if you get the chance.
- While we're talking about Marble Springs, let me also recommend a great way to support the site and get some nifty benefits for yourself. Join the Governor John Sevier Memorial Association and you'll get free admission when you visit, discounts on gift shop items, access to special events, and more. Memberships start at just $25.
- Late September-early October is King's Mountain season. If you can't make it to Knoxville for the Marble Springs event, there's another option for those of you in southwestern Virginia. On Sunday, Abingdon Muster Grounds is hosting Sharyn McCrumb, who will read from her new novel about the battle. They'll also have living history demonstrations and the unveiling of a new painting of William Campbell, whose unit marched from Abingdon to Sycamore Shoals to meet the other Overmountain Men.

Artifact swindlers allegedly dig up historic cemetery
What's lower than swiping artifacts? Desecrating graves in order to get them.
Two Waynesboro, Ga., men were charged Monday in a Burke County grave robbery in which the remains of an infant casket and the corpses of five Confederate and Revolutionary War soldiers were dug up.
Jerry Atkinson, 39, and Ralph Hillis Jr. could face up to five years in prison if convicted of the seldom-used felony charge of malicious removal of the dead from a grave. The charges were filed by the Burke County Sheriff's Office.
Hillis, who goes by the nickname "Bubba," was in custody in Richmond County on Monday night, but Atkinson remained at large, said Burke County Sheriff Greg Coursey.
These guys are also facing meth-related charges. More on this awful story here and here.

Do we need a law against moving monuments?
Now, here's the sort of thing that's perfect for stirring up debate in the historical blogosphere:
A new bill proposed in the Georgia legislature would prohibit local governments from hiding or removing statues of Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee or other Confederate army heroes indefinitely.…
Rep. Tommy Benton, R-Jefferson, introduced the proposal at the request of the Sons of the American Revolution and the Sons of Confederate Veterans.
The bill, if passed, would require that monuments be kept in a prominent place. It would also make it illegal to "deface, defile, or abuse contemptuously" any memorial dedicated to the Confederate army.
"We're not saying they can't move them," Benton said. "We're just saying they can't just put them in a field somewhere."
You can read the proposed bill yourself by clicking here. It's pretty short, so go ahead and give it a look.
Of course, I'm in favor of throwing the book at anybody who mutilates or damages historic monuments and markers, but I would assume Georgia already has vandalism laws to cover that sort of thing. As for the bill's more novel provisions to stop such monuments from being "relocated, removed, concealed, obscured, or altered," I'm not sure what to think.
My inclination in disputes over older monuments is usually to let them be and keep them in good condition, since they have intrinsic historic value. But I'm not sure it's a good idea to have a state law prohibiting local government agencies from moving monuments except in cases of construction projects, since the bill (if I understand it correctly) makes no distinction among monuments "dedicated to a historical entity" based on their age or significance.
What do you guys think?
