From the article: Can they tell how big the baby is by ultrasound?
Ultrasounds are a very common test in pregnancy. They can give us a lot of information about how a baby is doing and what complications might befall a pregnancy. However, ultrasound does have its limits. One such limit is the inability to tell the size of the baby accurately. Despite this fact, many practitioners are still trying. This can lead to many complications including induction of labor for a big baby, cesarean section and other issues. Some estimates are that ultrasound can be off by more than a pound in either direction. Did you have an ultrasound for fetal weight? How did that knowledge affect you?
This is kinda sad...
- I'm reading everyone's posts and I'm saddened by how many say "The doctor was afraid the baby wouldn't fit so I had a C-Section" Ladies, women can give birth to large children. My husband's great grandmother gave birth to a 13 pound child at 44 weeks. Vaginally. There is RARELY such thing as "too big for the birth canal." My 100 pound cousin gave birth to two over 9 pound babies naturally..and her mother gave birth to 8 children ranging from 7 pounds to almost 11 pounds all vaginally, at home with a midwife.
- —Guest Sara
Not Even Close--during labor!
- I had an ultrasound while I was PUSHING in labor because my baby wasn't moving down the birth canal and the OB wanted to see what was going on. At that point he said my baby was around 7 1/2 pounds. When my son was born 1 hour later....he was only 5 lbs, 15 oz! Ultrasounds have great benefits, but accurate weight is NOT one of them.
- —Guest TanyaA
Nearly right with me
- I was sent for an ultrasound at 38 weeks with my first because my midwife thought my son may have been breach and my partner had been joking that i would be having a 9lbs baby at least knowing my luck so I asked if she could tell the size, she checked and he was measuring well above the 91st centile so she sent me to a consultant. He sent me in to be induced at 39.6 weeks but then changed his mind because my son wasn't engaged, he decided to send me for another ultrasound to ask for an estimated weight which they said would be 9lbs 14oz. He convinced me that it would be best to go for a c section (which I really didn't want). Jack was born by c section 4 days later weighing 10lbs 4oz. Although I do hate the fact that I didn't go into labour I don't regret having a c section as it's better to be safe than sorry. I'm now 30 weeks pregnant with my second and I'm having an ultrasound at 36 weeks to estimate her weight, hopefully I'll be able to have this one naturally. :)

Scare tactics!
- Got in literal screaming match with obgyn who was fired one month after I delivered and filed complaint she wanted cut me open for 10.5 in 2nd baby, I didn't let her, but agreed to induction at 37 weeks baby was 8ibs 13oz, 6oz bigger than my first baby. Found out she was on vacation 2 days later and I was the 30th unnecessary c-section within the last 6 mnths. Wow it's amazing the info lawyers an get. I go to the same practice still because they ALL know and are afraid of me, they haven't dropped me yet!
- —Guest Big baby mama
Scare tactics
- I am by my own estimate about 35 weeks pregnant but the doc insists that I'm really only 34 weeks and some days and that my baby is growing about 2 weeks ahead of schedule. He said the baby was big and sent me for an ultra sound. The tech said he was close to six pounds already and went on to tell me if he was a ten pounder by labor day that I would have to have a c-section. I asked...what happened before c sections when people had big babies? I don't think I need to jump into having a c-section just because he might be a little big. She said "They died...that's what happened to them." I'm due soon and I'm interested to see how big he will actually be and I'm sticking to my guns and having my natural vaginal birth!
- —Guest feathers
big babies
- I went full tern with my son, the docs told me he would be about 8 pounds a week before I had him. He turned out to be 11 pounds. This is proof they can't always tell!
- —Guest sryan
way off
- Doctors told me at 35 wks that my baby was around 4 pounds and would probably need medical attention 4 days later I give birth naturally to a 5lb 10oz healthy baby girl
- —Guest stacey
historically high on both
- First time I was told I would have a 10lber -- he was 8lbs, 4oz. Second time, a 37w u/s said he was 8lbs, 13 oz, when he was born 2 weeks later he was 8lbs, 14oz. It really is just another tool used to scare mom's into a section. There is no such thing as a "too big" baby UNTIL you have had the trial of labor. Jumping to sections is one of the reasons I had to leave the med mal defense side of things -- I couldn't in good faith defend doctors who where lying to patients to make their job easier.
- —Guest wmbk
Induced both times
- I was induced both times and I had a 9.8 and 9.1 pound baby. First one I had an episiotomy and second one I didn't need one. Third one on the way and will be induced next week.
- —Guest Seena
It's only an estimate
- I am a sonographer and am familair with this weight issue. The most accurate measurement for ultrasound happen in the first trimester - and even then can be up to a week off. As the pregnancy progresses, the measurements are less accurate with up to a three week range of error...or 20% in weight-which can equal up to a lb, plus or minus. It may be 2 oz-it may be 7oz or it may be the full pound. Ultrasound is a tool and should not be used as the only means of determining a pregnancy's outcome. I will say that these 2 to 3 lb differences are unacceptable. I would have been fired if I was consistanly that inaccurate.
- —Guest claudia
5 pounds yeah right !!
- I was told I'd have a small baby with my daughter. I excepted that she was going to be small and got small clothes. I had her by c-section due to being breech. She was born 7lbs 15 oz, nice size baby and was 53 cm long. It just proves how wrong they were! I am now 16 weeks pregnant with my second baby [ its been almost 9 yrs ].
- —Guest tannii
Baby Size during ultrasound
- The nurses all told me to expect an 8lb baby- just like with my first son- who we were blessed to keep- she was born one day difference gestation at 38 weeks and 2 days and was 19inches long- only 6lbs and 9ozs.. She almost made it!! So tiny- and I just knew my son was tiny!!
- —Guest Sunshine Allen
Big Baby
- I was told my baby was weighing about 8lb so I was induced at 38 weeks turned out she was 10lb 5oz. I had a 3rd degree tear was only six weeks ago waiting to go back to the hospital for a check up next week to see what happened.
- —Guest mazza
advice taken
- I have multiple reasons for the doctors in the semi small town hospital to try to get a c-section scheduled, but I won't agree - I am on 6th baby, 4th baby was c-section, but 5th was VBAC. I am overdue, with too much water and a baby estimated to be 10 lbs. They want to induce after the weekend which I got new of over the phone - I refused for the induction is risky to me and the baby for uterine rupture. I think the birth weight estimate is not enough for me to take so much risk and I am disappointed that they keep pushing for this. I want to have the baby natural on the baby's schedule, big or not, we will be just fine, I think the doctors like to control a little too much, ya know? Just let it happen...
- —Guest RLK
Ultrasound was way off!
- I had a boy just 2 weeks ago and when i was 35 weeks they told me he was 6 pounds and would weigh about 8 pounds at birth. He was only 5 pounds 9 ounces.

21 Taiwanese deported on suspicion of cybercrime links
More News from Tetch Torres-Tupas
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines -The Bureau of Immigration deported 21 Taiwanese nations suspected of being part of an international syndicate engaged in credit card fraud and cybercrimes.
Immigration Commissioner Ricardo David Jr. said the aliens were deported in two separate batches on Monday and Tuesday aboard flights of the China Airlines and Cebu Pacific bound for Taipei.
"They were placed in our blacklist and banned from re-entering the Philippines for being undesirable aliens," David said.
The deportees were among the 37 arrested by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) at their safehouses on Binictican Drive in Morong, Bataan last April 2 on the strength of search warrants issued by Manila Judge Lyliha Abella-Aquino.

Two youngsters — Mumbai's Prasanna Rao and local challenger Sahaj Grover — punched above their weights and came out feeling triumphant after the seventh round of the Gurgaon Grandmasters International Open chess tournament here on Sunday.
Prasanna floored second seed Oliver Barbosa in 78 moves after Grover drew from his defensive skills to hold top seeded Ukrainian Martyn Kravtsiv in the contest of leaders lasting 34 moves.
When the dust settled following some fierce battles, Prasanna, third seeded Russian Alexander Evdokimov and Georgia's Tornike Sankidze joined Grover and Kravtsiv in the lead at six points. Three more rounds remain.
Prasanna's endgame prowess involving a knight and pawns came to the fore against Barbosa.
The Indian claimed pawns on the 23rd and 36th moves to enhance his prospects.
A series of exchanges soon left the players a knight each and a few pawns.
For the last 29 moves, Prasanna gradually tightened the grip by converting his two-pawn advantage into a deserving victory and joined the leaders.
Evdokimov, playing black, flattened Srinath following a six-move combination in their miniature 26-move game.
In contrast, Sanikidze needed 53 moves to stop a fighting Sameer Kathmale in a rook-pawn ending.
The results (Indians unless stated):
Seventh round: Sahaj Grover (6) drew with Martyn Kravtsiv (Ukr, 6); Oliver Barbosa (Phi, 5.5) lost to Prasanna Rao (6); N. Srinath (5) lost to Alexander Evdokimov (Rus, 6).
Raset Ziatdinov (USA, 5.5) drew with John Paul Gomez (Phi, 5.5); Tornike Sanikidze (Geo, 6) bt Sameer Kathmale (5).
Swayams Mishra (5.5) drew with P. Karthikeyan (5.5); V. Karthik (5.5) drew with P. Shyamnikhil (5.5); Merab Gagunashvili (Geo, 5) drew with Akmal Faizulaev (Uzb, 5).
N. Visakh (5) drew with Valeriy Neverov (Ukr, 5); Aniruddha Deshpande (5) drew with S. Arun Prasad (5).
Eldar Gasanov (Ukr, 5.5) bt Abhilash Reddy (4.5); Pradeep Kumar (4.5) lost to S. Kidambi (5.5); V. A. V. Rajesh (5) drew with Deepthamsh Reddy (5); Sarvinoz Kurbonboeva (Uzb, 5) drew with S. Satyapragyan (5).
M. Kunal (5.5) bt N. Niranjan (4.5); Vikramaditya Kulkarni (5.5) bt A. Abhishek (4.5); Chinmay Kulkarni (4.5) lost to B. S. Shivananda (5.5).

I am grateful to an Italia member that pointed it to me on the interesting boat thread. It is a lovely town at the enter of Messina strait.
You can stay at anchor in front of the beach, I mean, in front of the rocks because in Italia the police doesn't allow you to stay in front of a beach or on a paid buoy on the other side of the town (there the bottom is rock). Not very comfortable (strong currents) but enough for settled weather if you don't mind to rock a little at night.
The place is famous and known since antiquity:
The promontory is well described by
as a projecting rocky headland, jutting out boldly into the sea, and united to the mainland by a narrow neck or isthmus, so as to form two small but well sheltered bays, one on each side. There can be no doubt that this rocky promontory was the one which became the subject of so many fables, and which was represented by
Homer and other poets as the abode of the monster Scylla
At a later period Anaxilas, the despot of Rhegium, being struck with the natural strength of the position, fortified the rock, and established a naval station there, for the purpose of checking the incursions of the Tyrrhenian pirates. In consequence of this a small town grew up on the spot; and hence
speaks of an oppidum Scyllaeum; but it was probably always a small place, and other writers speak only of the promontory. At the present day the rock is still occupied by a fort...

HAYDEN, Idaho — A toddler accidentally shot and killed his mother in a northern Idaho Walmart store on Tuesday morning.
The woman was later identified by authorities as Veronica Jean Rutledge, 29, from Blackfoot, Idaho.
She was shopping with her son and three other children, said Lt. Stuart Miller, Kootenai County Sheriff's spokesman. Rutledge and her family had come into the area to visit relatives over the holidays.
BOISE (AP) — For some, the wait had lasted decades. Others thought they would never see the day that in conservative Idaho —one of the most Republican-dominated states in the nation— same-sex marriage would be legalized.
But after a complicated legal battle, Idaho's gay marriage ban was overturned in federal court and gay couples began legally receiving marriage licenses on Oct. 15.
BLACKFOOT - For the second time in less than a week, the Bingham County Sheriff's Office is investigating an unexplained explosion-like sound in the Blackfoot area.
Many residents in the Riverside area reported hearing a loud BOOM that actually shook their homes and rattled windows at around 6 p.m. on Sunday.
James Davis of Riverside described it as "a loud boom, that made his whole house jump, but not an earthquake."

MAYVILLE, Wis. (AP) — Two young brothers from southeastern Wisconsin are likely hoping they haven't landed on Santa's naughty list after police showed up at their doorstep.
The boys, ages 3 and 6, thought the best way to get in touch with the North Pole was by phone. And for youngsters of that age, their Christmas lists could be considered an emergency.
So, the brothers used their Dad's cellphone to place a 911 call, hoping to be connected with the North Pole and the big guy himself.
POCATELLO (AP) — A mother and daughter died and five of the woman's other children were injured in a rollover crash on a snowy interstate south of Pocatello, authorities said.
Rachel Hollibaugh, 38, of Dietrich, Idaho, died at the scene late Christmas morning as did her 14-year-old daughter, Tanessa Hollibaugh. The Idaho State Police said the five injured children were taken to a Pocatello hospital.

UNIONTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Authorities say a woman being cited for public drunkenness in Pennsylvania accidentally dropped a baggie of crack cocaine on the police station floor.
Uniontown police say 23-year-old Savannah Turachak, of Lemont Furnace, was patted down for weapons but not otherwise searched when she was brought to the station Nov. 19. That's because police were just citing and releasing her.
But police say Turachak returned moments later to report being harassed by someone and, in the process, fluffed her shirt to straighten it out — and the drugs fell out.
The National Retail Federation estimates that one in four holiday shoppers will wait until the last three days before Christmas to finish, or start, their holiday shopping.

Egyptian Delegation in Iraq to Discuss Reopening Embassy; Al- Sharqiyah Roundup
Within its morning newscasts on 21 August, Dubai-based Iraqi private Al-Sharqiyah TV reports on US Secretary of State Rice's visit to Baghdad, her talks with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, and the Rice-Zebari news conference to be held at noon. The channel also reports on the beginning of an Egyptian delegation's visit to Iraq, the shelling of the Green Zone, and other security and political developments.
Within its 0600 gmt newscast, the channel carries the following reports:
– "An official Egyptian delegation began a visit to Iraq to study [the possibility of] reopening the Egyptian Embassy in Baghdad. The embassy has been closed for two years. In statements to an international news agency, an Iraqi diplomat said that the delegation headed by the assistant to Foreign Minister Ahmad Abu-al- Ghayt includes many diplomats and security experts. He added that the delegation held talks with senior officials at the Iraqi Foreign Ministry. Sources close to those attending the talks held during the first appointment of the Egyptian delegation to Baghdad said that the delegation is thinking of opening its new embassy in the Green Zone as it is considered a more fortified area than others."
– "The Green Zone was exposed to rocket shelling again, when two mortar shells landed in the fortified area in central Baghdad yesterday. Iraqi police said that the two shells landed on the Green Zone from the side of the hanging bridge. The extent of the losses due to the attack is still unknown."
– "Security sources in Al-Amarah City in southern Iraq noted that the Al-Butayrah Airport in northern Al-Amarah was attacked by Katyusha rockets for a second time. The results of the attack are still unknown. A security source noted that four Katyusha rockets fell on the airport, where joint Iraqi-US forces are encamped. The sources pointed out that the rockets were launched from the Al- Basatin area of northwestern Al-Amarah."
– "Iraqi Electricity Minister Karim Wahid attacked the big oil companies for their attempts to impose high prices on Iraq and for neglecting their humanitarian duty with regard to assisting in developing the destroyed Iraqi oil industry. In a press conference held in Moscow, Wahid said that the foreign companies, including the Russian companies, have not responded to the calls for developing projects. He added that, as a result of the foreign companies' unwillingness to work in such circumstances, the Iraqi people suffer from a severe lack of energy. Wahid said that during negotiations on the agreement, the foreign companies relied on Iraq's ignorance of markets in a bid to make it bear high prices. He added that the companies got an unpleasant surprise when they discovered that Iraq fully understands the international commodity and stock markets."
Within its 0700 gmt newscast, the channel carries the following report:
– "Iraqi Foreign Ministry Undersecretary Muhammad al-Hajj Humud announced that Iraqi and US Government delegations have reached a draft agreement that gives the US troops legal justification for their stay in Iraq after 2008 without setting a schedule for their withdrawal. In statements to Reuters, Humud pointed out that the two delegations reached the draft agreement that will be presented before the political leaders for discussion and will leave the issue of whether US troops will be subject to Iraqi law unsettled."
Within its 0800 gmt newscast, the channel carries the following report:
– "US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice began a visit to Baghdad today. This comes while the negotiations over the future of the US troops in Iraq have reached their final stages. Upon her arrival, Rice said that Baghdad and Washington are very close to reaching an agreement that organizes the US military presence in Iraq. During her visit, Rice will meet with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki , the US ambassador in Iraq, and with the senior adviser to the secretary of state and coordinator for Iraq, David Satterfield."
Within its 0900 gmt newscast, the channel carries the following report:
– "The Iraqi security agencies discovered a room designated for torture and executions in a mosque in southwestern Baghdad. The room contained the bodies of 22 martyrs killed by treachery."

He added that this operation involved opening the offices of the ministry's officials and breaking furniture in a way that harms the state and its reputation. The Baghdad Operations Command has not issued any statement on the reasons behind the raid or the identities of the wanted people at the ministry."
– "The Independent High Electoral Commission has revealed that thousands of fake and duplicate names and names of dead people were listed among the files of voters. Judge Sardar Abd-al-Karim, a member of the Commission, said that, as a result of the Commission's presence and inspections of those centres, it could reveal the names, which amount to thousands thus far. More than 100,000 names of Arab nationals who used to receive foodstuffs as part of the food rationing programme were listed in the files of the Trade Ministry."

Further evidence that huge CEO pay isn't just a function of huge companies: Some of the best-paid chief executives didn't even make the WSJ CEO pay survey this year.
That's mostly because, whatever the size of their pay, their companies weren't big enough to make our dataset. We looked at the 300 biggest companies by revenue that filed definitive proxy statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission between May 1, 2013, and April 30. Revenue started at $8.7 billion.
We also passed over some companies that didn't file a definitive proxy statement, including Sprint, which had revenues of $16.8 billion but is 80% owned by Softbank.
This means at least a few chiefs whose companies didn't make the cut would have landed in or near the top 10 this year. More on this after the jump… Read More »
Big companies like to believe they are global in outlook, run by a cadre of internationally-experienced managers who are as comfortable in a boardroom in Shanghai as they are in Chicago. But that is largely a myth, according to a new report released today by Booz & Company.
In reality, the big business are still run on a provincial basis, the study showed. Looking at the world's 2,500 largest companies, Booz checked the background of the 300 new CEOs that were appointed in 2012 — the largest number of new CEOs since the company began its annual survey 13 years ago. The results? New appointees are hardly the diverse group of globetrotters you might imagine.
Of 2012′s 300 newly-appointed CEOs:
- 90% were from the same region where the company is headquartered
- 81% were from the same country
- 55% had never worked outside the company's home region
- 71% were hired from within the company
- 25% had spent their entire career at the company
- 95% were men
While no region was a hotbed of diversity, Western Europe was the most likely place to find companies with foreign CEOs: 30% of new bosses on the continent were from a country other than the company's home base, although most of them still came from within the region.
In Brazil, Russia and India, 13% of new CEOs came from outside both the country and region — a higher figure than in the U.S. or Canada. China and Japan were the most closed, sourcing just 2% and 1% of their CEOs from abroad respectively.

Franklin's Backstroke Wins Her First Olympic Gold
American swimmer Missy Franklin is back in the Olympic pool in London Tuesday for her third race in two days. The 17-year-old from Colorado is being cast as America's next great swimming star. She fit the bill Monday with her first gold medal, in the 100-meter backstroke.

by James Slater: Less than two months after his revenge win over T.J Wilson, 28 year old heavyweight prospect Travis Walker steps through the ropes again next Saturday, April 26th. Walker was the victim of a controversially quick stoppage against Wilson back in October of last year, when referee Raul Caiz jumped in after just 15 seconds of the very first round to stop the fight as Wilson had Walker on the ropes.. "Freight Train" was furious and there was much booing to be heard. It did indeed seem a premature stoppage. Now, his sole career loss avenged via 2nd round KO, Walker gets back in the ring next weekend.
Proving he is as good as his word when it comes to keeping active, the 27-1-1(21) Walker, from Houston, Texas will be having his 7th fight of the last twelve months. Going up against the 13-18-1(7) Earl Ladsen of North Carolina, Walker is taking no step up in class, but activity is at least one of his immediate priorities - with an improvement in quality of opposition hopefully to come soon.
Travis certainly looks the part of a good heavyweight contender. Standing an impressive 6'4" and weighing in at a solid 240 pounds, the 28 year old is a fine physical specimen. His punch power, too, is formidable. With decent wins over the likes of former amateur standout Jason Estrada to his name (who has just beaten the useful Lance Whitaker) Walker has proven he can fight. He should have no problems next week from the 34 year old Ladsen ,that's for sure. Another heavyweight up-and-comer in Devin Vargas boxed Ladsen recently, however, and was taken the full distance, so maybe Walker will get some decent rounds in. Then he can look towards moving up.
A fight with any of the current unbeaten heavyweight wannabes in Vargas, Kevin Johnson (who faces Terry Smith this Friday) Chazz Witherspoon, J.D Chapman or the like would be a good test for either fighter. With the heavyweight division looking for its next new U.S star, the time is right for the prospects to get it on with one another. Let's hope this is indeed the case. It is time for the likes of Johnson and Witherspoon, in particular to make a move. Eliminate a fellow prospect, and you move one step up the ladder yourself. Simple, right? The fights are there to be made, let the fighters make them.
In the meantime, look for the fighter known as "Freight Train" to keep himself well in the picture with a mid-rounds stoppage of Earl Ladsen next Saturday.

Latest Quintessence Stories
Quintessence and phantom fields, two hypotheses formulated using data from satellites, such as Planck and WMAP, are among the many theories that try to explain the nature of dark energy.
Challenging times are an opportunity to grow and become more creative.
Imagine a time when the entire universe froze. According to a new model for dark energy, that is essentially what happened about 11.5 billion years ago, when the universe was a quarter of the size it is today.

Latest Quintessence Reference Libraries
Quintessence (Dark Energy) -- Quintessence or dark energy is a hypothetical form of energy postulated to exist in order to explain observations of an accelerating universe. This energy would act like a vacuum pressure, pushing things apart. Other attempts to explain these recent observations involve a non-zero cosmological constant, which has the same effect. Indeed, sometimes quintessence is said to result in a non-zero cosmological constant, and conversely a non-zero cosmological...
Accelerating universe -- In the late 1990s, observations of type I supernova produced the unexpected result that the expansion of the universe appears to be accelerating. These observations appear more firm as new data has appeared. This means that the speed with which a distant galaxy recedes from us increases over time. If this trend continues, eventually we won't be able to see any other galaxies any more. This new theory of the end of the Universe has been called the Big Rip....

Mourning, R.B. High students return to school
"You're grieving, and all of a sudden, something else happens," he said.
The mood at Mt. Carmel High School, where some of the teens in the car attended, was noticeably different from that at Rancho Bernardo High School.
Principal Tom McCoy said he had not told students about the accident and did not plan to do so. He said the families of the students involved requested that no information be released.
Outside, in the parking lot, Khania Pham, 16, a junior, said she knew one of the students, Armando Sinclair, 16, a junior. He had asked her to hang out with him Friday night, but she had to baby-sit and didn't make it to the rendezvous.
She heard of the accident and tried calling him to find out how he was doing, but got his voice mail.
"I'm sad. I'm really worried," she said.
Shelby Webb, 16, a junior, said she is good friends with Armando, and she heard from other friends that he suffered a broken leg and fractured spine. "I'm sad. I'm sad for Armando," Shelby said.
Robinson, the Rancho Bernardo principal, noted that this has been a tough year for North County schools because of a string of fatal traffic accidents involving Vista, Carlsbad, Escondido, Poway and Torrey Pines students.
The most recent was the death of Michael Hoffman, an Escondido High School senior, whose 1995 Pontiac Firebird hit a light pole as he missed a stop sign while turning a corner to go home, police said.
He said BreAnna's family is planning a memorial service at the Church of Rancho Bernardo on Saturday at noon.
A candlelight vigil is being planned for 7:30 to 9 p.m. Thursday at the Rancho Bernardo High School parking lot.

When Andheri-based interior designer Mithun Roy, a Narendra Modi fan, left for Dubai three months ago to earn some quick bucks, riding on a weakening rupee, he had no idea that his hero would win, resulting in a stronger rupee and thereby less earnings for him abroad.
Following the slowdown in the Indian economy, Roy had found his job prospects in India rather bleak. When he failed to get any salary increment for four years, he decided to head to the Gulf. Roy said he left his family, including his year-old daughter, behind hoping to earn a handsome amount in foreign exchange and remit a tidy sum every month to his family in Mumbai. However, ironically, his idol's emergence has shattered his dream with the rupee gaining. From the recent Rs63 a dollar, it's now Rs59.
As per the exchange rate three months ago, it was more than Rs16.5 against 1 Dirham, the currency of UAE. However, now, it is Rs15.9 per Dirham.
"The latest exchange rate due to a stronger rupee has put me back by over Rs1 lakh in my annual package," said Roy, talking to dna over the phone from Dubai. "It's going to affect the amount of remittance coming to India."
According to World Bank's Migration and Development report, India leads the world chart of remittance flows, receiving over USD 70 billion last year.
Science graduate Zeeshan Hussain, who went to Qatar after failing to make a decent leaving in Mumbai, shares Roy's predicament. "I am happy that the economy of our country is finally improving due to recent political developments. But then, I am beginning to earn less now on my annual package."
"It's a bit of a loss for Indian immigrants in foreign countries. But then, it can't be helped, because, after all, they earned well when the rupee was doing bad," said banking expert Sameer Pednekar.
Experts say such a situation is common whenever the rupee does well. Many Indian companies, especially those serving foreign clients like BPOs, earned great revenues last year on account of weak Indian currency, while those who had to pay in foreign currencies, like airlines, bled due to it.

Hi there everyone. My name is Wayne and I am new to the site but not RC. Even though it has been years. I have a Rustler from 94'. Still factory mostly. Still has the manual speed control. I know, antiquated. I have a problem and could not find a solution as yet. And before everyone flames me or jumps my case. YES I SEARCHED. For the last 4 hours. On here and google. I have seen where some have a similar issue as me but no solution was posted. If it was then it was send it to Traxxas.
On to my problem. I just bought a TQi w/ Docking station and a 3gs IPhone and 5 receivers. I was assured that 4 of them worked but he could not get the fifth one to bind. My daughter was playing with it (mostly the IPhone) and so I am trying to bind them again. Only one of them seems to still be linked but it only works for a second. Then there is no response from the steering servo. After that second it turns to the right and makes an electric type of grinding sound. I have the motor disconnected because it will just run. Sucky part about running the manual speed control. And please don't tell me to upgrade to ESC. I know. Just don't have the money at the moment. As for the binding, I followed the instructions to the letter. But no go. Fresh batteries in Tx and Rx. I can get the red light flashing in both. Sometimes the Tx will go to a solid red or it will just go out. No light. Like it is off. The only way to fix that is turn it off then on again. Does this regardless of the IPhone being hooked up. The Tx will turn on w/ green light and work and connect to the IPhone. And before anyone mentions to call Traxxas. I did. They are closed till Monday.
Any help with any of this is appreciated. Thank you.

Hi folks
I'm not closing this blog - but I am taking a break for a while.
RE blogging, I'm feeling stale and I definitely need to do an overhaul of my blogs. There are too many (as you can see from the links under the header) and I need to declutter, regroup and reorganise.
I'm yet again toying with the idea of decamping to WordPress - and also thinking hard about Tumblr.
So keep checking back for news - I'll keep you updated when I know what I'm doing!
Hugs etc

Christmas plaque for BladeRubber Stamps
I've made this plaque especially for BladeRubber Stamps, to wish all their customers a Merry Christmas (although it's still just a leeetle early in my book - my Christmas spirit is still firmly in the bottle, probably around 15% proof, lol).
As always, I'm heavily into Glitter Mode - this one is positively restrained compared to some of my other projects!
I prepped the palette-style MDF pieces with white acrylic, then went back over this with a medium blue and a pale grey, to imitate cold snowy skies. This was topped off with a snowflake stencil, stencilled with metallic pale blue on two edges, and white acrylic in other places. I threw glitter on two of these (glitter will stick to a thick layer of acrylic paint if you apply it while the paint is wet).
I then prepped all my lettering and the snowflakes (die cuts by Woodware in stiff white card.) I've used white acrylic paint all around the sides of the Merry Christmas phrase (which was bright red glitter, from our local supermarket, which I've separated into two pieces so I could space it out).
I drew out my shapes using the fine nozzle of the Glossy Accents bottle - the secret here is to draw around the outline first, then flood in with the glue. If you just want a raised and shiny finish, let it dry as is. If you want glitter etc, spoon it onto the wet glue and leave it to dry completely before shaking off the excess. Make sure you put your letters etc onto a totally flat surface, as this is dimensional adhesive which means it's self-levelling. So if it's on a tilted surface, it'll flow off the edges which is probably exactly what you don't want, lol.
I used glitters by Stampendous: Crushed Glass glitter in silver, Shaved Ice (big irridescent pieces), Crystal Snow, and Silver Halo Glitter Mix. Also used: Vintage Sparkle glitter in blue (fabulous bottle!) and Stickles Ice Glitter glue dribbled on the tops of the Merry Christmas, to look like snowdrifts.
Once the glitter was dry, I added my letters with Glossy Accents, and the plastic Merry Christmas using a hot glue gun. Finishing touches were artificial fir branches, felt snowflakes, white glitter berries and some fir cones - all applied using a hot glue gun.
The whole piece was hung with a length of copper wire, painted with white acrylic and glittered. I did the same for the snowflakes, wrapping the wire round the end of a paintbrush to get the twirly whirly bits. These were glued at the back of the MDF, at the bottom, with glue gel (and a piece of lace stuck over the top with loads of white acrylic on top to make sure they were stuck really well).
And that's it! Hope you like it - and that you'll all visit and see their Christmas window in person.

Pre-Christmas diet? maybe???
|Created in PicMonkey
So I just had to share a quick digital collage piece I made to illustrate last year's New Year Resolution (which lasted less than a week). I'm dusting it off in the hopes some willpower will kick in, and I'll actually be able to cut down a bit on the pastries etc so my clothes will actually fit over the Holidays.
I created this image with a vintage photo from my own collection, and played around with it on PicMonkey, which is a free online photo editor (nothing to download) although you do have the option of downloading your pic when you've finished, if you want to save it. Totally brilliant, highly recommended and a whole heap of fun!

Spread from my Zombie journal
As we're shortly coming up to Halloween, I thought you might like to see one of the spreads from the Art Journalling class I'm teaching.
This one is a vampire, from my Zombie journal - in the Faces&Figures section on 26 October. The face is heavily crackled, with lots of encrustation and a strip of flat-back crystals, dripped red inks (blood).
The quotation is by Virginia Woolf:
The beauty of the world which is so soon to perish, has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.
I haven't yet made up my mind whether this needs any further wording. I purposely made the writing loose and slightly illegible. I think it kind of speaks for itself....

PMC earrings I made
Thought you'd like to see a pair of PMC (Precious Metal Clay) silver earrings I made.
PMC isn't quite as easy as they like to make out. The actual modelling of the clay, and the firing, are easy peasy. The hard bit is polishing with a wire brush and then burnishing with a steel - this is the killer bit!
Very hard on the hands - and as I've got RSI and had the op for carpal tunnel on both hands, after making a few PMC pieces, much as I love the stuff, I've had to concede it's not for me.
I've dated and initialled this pair on the backs, the safety ear wires (so you don't lose them) are Sterling Silver, hallmarked - and they're on eBay as we speak...
Abstract, just a little bit different!

VINTAGE PLAYING CARDS: old magazine covers, newspaper headlines and adverts
The owner told me they're vintage - probably 1920s-30s, but I can't really remember the details - and I can't find anything online either! It's really frustrating...
If anyone recognises these, and what game they are for, do let me know! I think it's a form of Snap or Old Maid, but without a box or instructions, who knows?
In any case, I've put them up for sale on eBay as I'm still frantically de-stashing. I've got around 8 sets of vintage cards in all - Heaven knows what I was intending to do with them all!
Meantime, you're welcome to download these for Personal Use, if you'd like to use them in scrapbooking and projects. Just click on the pix to bring them up to full size, then right-click to copy them. They're totally unretouched, and scanned at a large size.

Finally catching up
|UPcycled journal with original covers (1930s), page wraps with pockets and an eclectic mix of papers
|View of the stitching - over tapes - on the spine
In the meantime, I've managed to finish this book and also put it (and some other artwork) onto eBay, so fingers crossed someone will love it and give it a new home.
|There's an eclectic mix of papers: vintage text in English and French, some vintage sheet music, 1940s street maps of London, plus plain papers (Daler Rowney heavyweight acid free cartridge paper)
I adore making books, and have around 7 journals already on the go - so some HAVE to go for sale as there's only so much room in our place.
|The signature wraps are quite stiff, a very heavyweight flecked grey - almost a card - with a half circle punched out to give access to a pocket, and tabs at the back, to make the sections easy to find.
I've been massively decluttering, redecorating and restyling, so lots of things are going - including a little crystal chandelier!
|I've also turned up the bottoms of some of the longer pages to make more pocket sections. These can be slit if you don't want them, or pasted for strength, have envelopes tipped in - lots of opportunities for personalisation!
Meantime, a little gentle stitching of journals has provided rest and relaxation - and such a nice change from being covered with eggshell paint!
|This is a sweet little book, which I've really enjoyed making, and I hope it inspires some great artwork
Hope you like it!

Another Vintage Journal
Hi gang: Big apologies, as I haven't posted for AGES... reason being, I'm trying to redecorate the flat and finally get my own art space (which is squeezed into part of the living room) more workable. So there's a lot going on (STILL not finished) which I'll post shortly.
Meantime, I manages to get this journal finished. It's another upcycled, recycled one with original vintage covers and some of the original pages, ledger pages plus new papers, tapes etc etc. I've also used washing tape on the edges of the cover to add a little zap, without covering the original titling.
It's a Ready Reckoner - in Pounds, Shillings and Pence!So it's pre 1968 (when the first decimal coinage was released in the UK).
I've also put in section wraps in a really zingy screen printed 30s style paper, which could be left as is, or used to sandwich pocket pages, tip-ins etc.
This one has been a lot of fun! Hope you like it.

VOICES - Gelli Plate mono print
VOICES - this is a monoprint I've just finished, using the Gelli Plate and IndigoBlu stamps. The silhouette shape is a stencil I made, cutting round a figure from a magazine which I've then laminated. Came out pretty well, I think.
I used a page from an old text book for the print. The base layer was a mix of Antique White and a pale turquoise - both craft acrylics (the cheap ones, ready mixed in a bottle). I placed the stencil on top and left it in place while I brayered deep pink and deep turquoise onto the plate, then removed the stencil. This was the second layer.
Next, I stamped the IndigoBlu Honeycomb Background stamp using Ranger's Archival Black ink, and topped this with IndigoBlu Mechanics background stamp. I held the stamp in my hand (not on a block) to get partial images - again, with Archival Black ink.
Finally, I stamped the phrase in Archival black, the chemical formula in Archival Red and the lightbulb in Archival Sepia - all from IndigoBlu's Beautiful Mind stamp set. The black circle shapes in the corners are giant snap fastensers.
I started off creating this as a journal page - now I'm thinking it could go in a frame? I'm really pleased with this one.

By Diana Hall, County-Wide Support, SUN Community Schools
As part of their holistic approach to promoting academic success for youth and family self-sufficiency, SUN Community Schools (SUN CS) in Portland, Oregon have addressed health issues and provided health services in neighborhood schools since the initiative began in 1999. As the obesity epidemic has emerged over those years, SUN CS have worked to incorporate anti-obesity strategies into the broader wellness efforts at their 64 sites.
Every Go!Healthy workshop at The Children's Aid Society schools and camps begins with a rapid-fire, free-form brainstorm: what does the word "food" mean to you? We always get a broad range of answers: family, money, diets, yummy, culture, nutrients, and on and on. Having conducted this exercise dozens of times, I've had a chance to reflect on the many answers, and I've come to a few conclusions.
NEW YORK, NY- The Children's Aid Society today announced its support for Mayor Bloomberg's new efforts to aid minority youth, urging city officials to continue to play an active role in supporting at-risk populations.

James Lyng High School is a Canadian secondary school located in the southwest sector of Montreal in Quebec. This part of the city was once the heart of an industrial and manufacturing powerhouse, but in more recent times it has become seriously disadvantaged. Students are characterized by both socioeconomic challenges and academic difficulties, and for many of them, belonging to this school community is the most powerful driver of their resilience.
Although the Children's Aid Society (CAS) is not an arts organization, throughout our history the arts have been indispensable, not just an add-on.Even during this challenging economic time the Arts Committee of our Board of Directors is determined to maintain the arts across the agency. Arts exposure, arts education and arts through education for children and youth, and even for their families, are still alive and well at our community schools as well as at our community centers.

Feminist Review"In periods of rapid social change, the poets of one ideological system or another rush to find the cogent metaphor or, more recently, the winning soundbite, that will interpret the change to suit their own ends, to control meaning. To find and sell the right descriptive phrase is to raise the flag of possession over a historical event. For example, the collapse of the Soviet Union—or, even more stridently, the U.S. victory in the Cold War—spins the end of the 1980s, the end of history, as some proclaimed it, as a triumph of righteousness, rendered even more morally spectacular by the supposed 'coldness' of the conflict, and the ushering in of a new world order. That's why a book like Janet Johnson's 'Gender Violence in Russia' is so badly needed.
The conclusion Johnson's study reaches is... that what really works, in terms of feminist intervention, are 'alliances between global feminists and large donors.' Money talks, apparently; or rather its use in creating organizations for women's advocacy is the best agent for social change. What Johnson calls 'flexible and responsive funding' is the key, targeting funds where they are most needed and can do the most good to protect women and to begin to change cultures of violence which have proven fearfully resistant to change." —Rick Taylor, Feminist Review, July 2, 2009

Use of force self-defeating, says U.S. President
Pakistan on Friday found solace and vindication in U.S. President Barack Obama's speech outlining Washington's counterterrorism strategy for the future, particularly, the observations made on the controversial drone programme that has been the bane of bilateral relations.
Reacting to Mr. Obama's remarks on "The future of our fight against terrorism" at the National Defence University in Fort McNair, Washington, the Foreign Office said Pakistan appreciated his acknowledgement that "force alone cannot make us safer", pointing out that Islamabad had for long been advocating a comprehensive strategy for addressing the root causes that foster terrorism and extremism.
Mr. Obama said: "We cannot use force everywhere that a radical ideology takes root; and in the absence of a strategy that reduces the wellspring of extremism, a perpetual war — through drones or Special Forces or troop deployments — will prove self-defeating, and alter our country in troubling ways."
However, from his speech, it was evident that the drone strikes would not end soon either. He said troops in Afghanistan would be supported till 2014-end in the Afghan war theatre — of which the tribal areas of Pakistan have become an extension on the premise that terrorists who attack coalition forces west of the 'Durand Line' seek haven in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas.

The agent of David Trezeguet has confirmed AC Milan could sign the Juventus forward in a swap for Kakha Kaladze.
"Yes, it's true, but a lot of names have been suggested," revealed Antonio Caliendo.
"I don't want to speak about figures. It's up to Juve to decide how much they want to realise from the eventual sale.
"David's value, in my opinion, is around £8.6m taking Article 17 as a point of reference," Caliendo added.
"If Juve were to decide to put David on the market, then there would be a lot of teams interested in him.
"Milan are a big team. David would like them because they have won a lot in their history, but, for now, I repeat, there is nothing."

Bonni Benrubi Gallery is pleased to announce a group exhibition,
GLOBETROTTING. Presenting new work by the gallery's stable of
contemporary photographers alongside classic mid-century work, this
exhibition invites the viewer on a voyage around the world. Each
photographer's work on view offers a unique perspective and approach
to age-old themes of travel, discovery and wanderlust.
Highlights include Doug Hall, a new gallery artist, who not only
photographs soaring urban landscapes and interior spaces from around
the world, but also reflects on tourists as they capture holiday
moments at well-known attractions such as Mount Rushmore. New color
work by Abelardo Morell brings the Italian landscape inside; infusing
physical context and enchantment into the interior spaces he
transforms into room-sized Camera Obscuras. Rena Bass Forman treks
into the depths of Greenland and Iceland to offer the viewer a rare
connection with the landscape in her large-scale sepia-toned prints,
while Laura McPhee explores the decaying opulence of colonial period
mansions in India. In Africa, photo documentarian Simon Norfolk
examines the plight of refugees with images that transcend simple
political or social interpretation, while Hiroshi Watanabe delves deep
into the insular culture of North Korea. Also presented here is new
work from Paris and Seattle by Matthew Pillsbury, who continues to
address themes of movement and transience through his long exposure
technique, increasingly in the public sphere of cosmopolitan spaces.
Also included among others in the exhibition is the work of Karine
Laval in Scandinavia, Fredric Roberts in Burma, and Jeffrey Milstein,
who captures the stark mechanical beauty of airplanes just after
takeoff, plus an array of earlier material from established masters
such as Georges Dambier and Louis Stettner.
The artists in GLOBETROTTING have been exhibited extensively here and
abroad; most have published monographs and are included in major
public and private collections.
Concurrently with GLOBETROTTING, a collection of 20th century globes
from the early 1900's until 1980 will be on view at the gallery.

Cecchetti Classical Ballet
Recreational Vocational Professional
"The Cecchetti work has given me strength, discipline and co-ordination. It wasn't until I got into the Company that I realised how lucky I was to have had that training." Darcey Bussell
The Cecchetti method of Classical Ballet is an outstanding system of training for all, from the small child through to the vocational student, professional dancer and future teacher.
Founded by the inspirational Italian dancer and teacher Enrico Cecchetti, the method has a rich heritage and is part of an international network of Cecchetti organisations, including Cecchetti International Classical Ballet.
As a faculty of the ISTD, Cecchetti Classical Ballet offers examinations and qualifications for children, students and teachers that are nationally and internationally recognised for their excellence. Enjoyment is of prime importance for a young child beginning to dance and the Class Examinations and Performance Awards provide ideal opportunities for those attending classes for recreational purposes on a once a week basis.
For children wishing to study in greater depth, there are the more technically demanding Grade Examinations. In all the children's work a steady build up and safe practice are of great importance. The Major examinations for older students and those at vocational schools are soundly based on Cecchetti principles and provide strength and co-ordination, together with a quality of movement which is second to none.The ISTD also offers a wide range of excellent professional teaching qualifications and choice of learning paths for those who would like to teach Cecchetti Classical Ballet.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Broken Finger
In this article
Multimedia continued...
Media file 4: Broken finger. A typical fracture at the end of the small finger metacarpal is shown in this x-ray. The fragment is most always flexed toward the palm as seen in this x-ray. Most typically this fracture is caused by a closed fist striking an object. This commonly is called a boxer's (or brawler's) fracture. Treatment of this fracture usually is conservative casting. Don't be alarmed by the angulation of the bone. It is usually only cosmetic, and hand function should be normal after the bone heals.
Media file 5: Broken finger. This x-ray illustrates a common fracture of the distal phalanx. It is an injury where the distal phalanx is forced toward the palm and resisted by the pull of the extensor tendon. This is very common in sporting events in which a ball strikes the end of the finger (often called mallet finger). These injuries are either bony (as seen) or involve ligaments. Treatment is splinting or surgical pinning of the distal phalanx. This injury may take a long time to heal and must be watched closely. Despite every effort to heal, a residual lag may continue after treatment. This usually is cosmetic only and does not affect grip strength.
Media file 6: Broken finger. This is an x-ray of an oblique (diagonal) fracture of a metacarpal. These injuries occur from a twisting or crush injury to the hand. They are common to machining and workplace injuries as well as direct trauma. There are many different muscles and tendons that may accentuate this fracture causing shortening or angulation toward the palm. Treatment may consist of either casting with close observation or a surgical procedure for stability of the fracture. This would depend on the severity of the fracture seen on the x-ray.

newbies get to the semis they can really get lost in the occasion and don't perform and get beaten easily.
Tsonga nearly took his semifinal to a 5th set at Wimbledon against Murray; likewise with Berdych against Murray (I believe Berdman actually had set points) in NY, and Djokovic would have lost had they continued playing in the windy conditions at the USO against Ferrer.
Last season Tsonga again played a great and very entertaining match against Djokovic in the semifinal at Wimbledon, and Ferrer nearly went up 2 sets to 0 against Murray in Australia.
Let's not forget in 2009, Del Potro (in his first 2 grand slam semifinals) was 2 sets to 1 up on Federer at RG, and famously gave Nadal his worst ever Grand Slam beating in New York.
Moral of the story: these "newbies" you speak of aren't that incompetent.

Rondo has 18 assists, Celtics top Kings 94-86
"To lose to one of the worst teams in NBA history is tough," he said. "We just wanted to come out and be aggressive tonight."
The Celtics played without starting center Kendrick Perkins, sidelined for the first time with a sore left knee, but didn't need him.
It was 41-31 after Landry's jumper midway through the second quarter. That's when Allen and Rondo took over to lead a 16-2 run. That made it 57-33, Boston's biggest lead of the game, with 1:37 remaining in the half.
Allen started the surge with a pair of layups on assists by Rondo, then sank a 3-pointer - all in a span of 48 seconds. Landry's layup broke the streak, but the Celtics quickly started another one on a layup by Rondo. The point guard then fed Allen for a 3-pointer and, after a steal by Rasheed Wallace, the roles reversed as Allen passed to Rondo for a layup.
And when Garnett hit a long jumper - assisted by Rondo - the Celtics were up by 24.
Sacramento had 17 turnovers, while the Celtics committed just eight.
"To play Rondo and the Celtics, as aggressive as they are and as good as their defense is, we figured the turnovers would be a problem," Kings coach Paul Westphal said, "and they were."
The last one came with 28 seconds left when Rondo stole the ball from Udrih.
"He just creates uncertainty," Allen said. "He's just so quick, has long arms (and) before you know it the ball's going in the other direction."
NOTES: Boston G Nate Robinson did not return after spraining his left ankle with 7 minutes left in the second quarter. ... Sacramento C Spencer Hawes left the game for good with a lower back strain with 9:36 remaining in the third quarter. ... The Kings fell to 7-30 on the road and play at Eastern Conference leader Cleveland on Sunday. ... The Celtics beat the Kings for the sixth straight time.

My daughter wears 28 in Speedo and this suit fits just as well as the Speedo suit
Love the quality of this suit and it is a great value!
Nicely made suit with more coverage on the back and for the bust. I will order this type again - but one size smaller than I usually order. I am very busty and feel this gives me support.
Great swimsuit - looks good, fits well and durable.
This suit was ordered by the WCCS Swim Team. The fit and style of the suit was a perfect fit for the team. Very pleased with the service, shipping was spot on and the price was super affordable for our kids. Will certainly continue to use SwimOutlet in the future.
Fits good, looks good, priced well, and seems to feel good on. We love this suit. Will be buying more of this brand.
Good quality suit!
Very cute design and fits well. The straps have left red marks on my shoulders but I think that's just because it's new. Nothing painful or permanent yet.
I am 32, very athletic build, 5'6 and 140 lbs. My top half is very small, and most of my weight is in the butt/thighs. These proportions have made it impossible to find a suit, along with my extra long torso. Speedo, TYR, Sporti, Athleta, Dolfin...I've tried them all and this suit fits me PERFECTLY. Generally suits have been much too short for me, so I'd assume their sizes would run large, or at least long, for most women. The fabric is soft and my nipples don't show, thank god- but the suit is also black, so I think that helps. A really really good price for me, considering I was thinking of buying a TYR for $60 from here.

OriginThe origin of this specific character is not specified by the creator and remains unknown.CreationOld Man Mozz was created by Lee Falk.Character EvolutionHe is the wise old man in the Pygmy Bandar tribe who is said to be many years old. He is very much known for telling stories of The Phantom's ancestors. While his stories keep the young children entertained, they also sometimes serve as great advisory examples to the current Phantom of 21st century.It is said that his knowledge is to a level that he knows almost entirely the chronicles of The Phantom's ancestors. Many a times it is seen that the current Phantom, unable to find an answer in Skull cave's chronicles, consults with the old man to understand how earlier Phantom would react or solve if presented with a similar trouble that he is facing now.Old Man Mozz is said to know the history of the jungle, the tribes that lived before, those that have come into existence now, tribal wars and much much more. He always has answers to the questions that The Phantom or any pygmy tribe mate may have and always presents an example from the past by telling it "as it is". He is often found quoting "The Phantom" as a very interesting personality passing the responsibilities from one generation to the other without fail.

29 year old woman | Atlanta, GA, USA | Seeking men 27-40 within 15 miles
Fun, quirky, confident, scintillating conversation.
I am smart, adventurous, insatiably curious, a good listener, genuine, and (lovably?) odd. I consider myself a social introvert, meaning that I gotz to recharge my batteries at times, but generally still enjoy social occasions and meeting/learning about people of all types. I need someone who understands that it's okay if you don't fit perfectly into one prescribed box. I was born and raised in Atlanta (Decatur actually), but have also spent time elsewhere in the U.S. and abroad. I've always considered Atlanta my home of homes for a million little reasons and a few big ones, namely: (1) the majority of my small family lives in or near the city, including my #1 person in the world (my 2-yr-old niece); (2) Atlanta's in the midst of an exciting transformation (it's a big ball of dynamic creative energy waiting to explode into new parks, mixed-use development, sustainable urban communities, and innovative entrepreneurial initiatives), and I want to be around to see what happens!; and … (3) The Walking Dead (you gotta love it when your prior places of employment form the perfect background for apocalyptic zombie shenanigans). Profession-wise, I'm currently a lawyer, but am exploring a larger range of career opportunities. I'm looking for something that allows me to use my analytic and problem-solving abilities while still challenging me with complex situations. Hiking is my favorite form of exercise, I spent the best summer of my life working at a national park out west and went on beautiful hikes daily; however, I don't need to be exercising all the time – I'm also quite adept at vegging and want someone who can enjoy a similar balance. I plan LOTS of trips! (seriously,) and occasionally I get to take one or two of them. Oh yeah, and party games, I'm a big fan! The more random/funny/slightly obscene the better – laughing at yourself is one of life's greatest pleasures! My close friends and family would do anything for me, and I'd do anything for them. Anyone who becomes important in one of our lives becomes part of the extended family. Respect is a core part of how I approach life and relationships of all sorts: --Initially, I give all people the benefit of the doubt and treat them with the kindness and respect that I believe is due all human beings; --However, if it becomes clear that someone I know treats others with disrespect and/or behaves with a general lack of integrity, that person loses my respect and will no longer play an important role in my life; --Conversely, once I develop a deep and abiding respect for someone, I am entirely in their corner, offering my unconditional loyalty, patience, support, and encouraging smile :) In terms of a future partner, I'm looking for someone: --who has a healthy sense of humor about life – life gets shitty sometimes, so it's important to be able to put things in perspective, act with some grace, and laugh at life's absurdities; --who's adventurous – comfortable being in lots of different situations and around lots of different types of people, who's up for a challenge and can push themselves outside of their comfort zone; --who demonstrates a subtle, sexy confidence, showing an unapologetic acceptance of self; --who's curious, I ask lots of questions and try hard to really get to know the people in my life (figure out what makes them tick/what experiences have made them who they are), I want to be with someone who is genuinely interested me and my passions; --who's comfortable communicating, even when it's hard, because that's usually when good communication is most important; --and whose identity is greater than his hobbies and accomplishments – because what really matters is the person who's still there at the end of the day. Basically, I'm looking for authenticity, passion, kindness, and a similar philosophy on life, Cheers!

haha…that pose by rampage is too funny! jon jones looked pissed.
UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones wasn't impressed with Quinton Rampage Jackson's clowning at the UFC 135 pre-fight press conference today in Denver.
Rampage Quotes
"You know who he is — c'mon man," Jackson said today at the Pepsi Center in Denver, which also hosts the pay-per-view UFC 135 event on Sept. 24. "Who been standing with me, dog? Everybody been wrasslin' me, dog. You already know, player."
"Who you calling old, dog? … I'm only 33, man. Goodness. You all act like I'm Randy Couture's decrepit old ass."
"You all put me in that category. I was younger than him when I started doing my thing. I was fighting (with a) 2-1 (and) 2-2 (record) fighting people like Wanderlei (Silva) and stuff like that. I guess I'm old school.
"But with old school comes a lot of experience. He's the youngest champion, but I think he's the least experienced champion in UFC history. All that stuff doesn't matter to me. I just go fight and get my belt back. I have tunnel vision."
Jon Jones Quotes
"I think I displayed pretty good kickboxing against Mauricio 'Shogun' (Rua) … 'Shogun' is the one who actually knees and elbows and throws high kicks. 'Rampage' is like fighting a boxer in my opinion. So, if he thinks that I'm intimidated to stand with him, I think it's great for me that he's under that impression."
haha…that pose by rampage is too funny! jon jones looked pissed.
I'm just hoping for a good fight. Rampage has never faced anyone this lengthy so it could be a short night if he gets picked apart from outside.
