I am so excited I can't wait together prego now LOL.
DS was born in an attached birthing center where they tried to push all kinds of interventions and wouldn't allow me the water birth I wanted.
DD was born in a hospital in NC after a semi UP. I moved when I was 28 weeks with her and my last prenatal appointment was at 24 weeks and once I got there I couldn't find anyone to take me with no insurance. I just waddled my butt into the hospital when I was in labor. I got there at a 7 so you'd figure there wouldn't be tine for intervention well when I was at roughly 9.5 the Dr decided to go for pit even though I had only been there for a few hours. I turned it down but the Dr told the nurse she had to start pit or she'd lose her job. If I had known that you could have A UC I would have nevet gone to the hospital.
I was PG with a March 2012 baby that I miscarried at 6w 2d that I was planning in having at a free standing BC here in NH. Because we lost the baby we are accelerating our plans to move to Nebraska and I can't find decent care in the area we are moving to. That made me start thinking about UC and I still can't believe he simply said OK.
I love that he leaves all birthing options up to me. If I wanted to be on an epidural he would say sure. I had uncb with my 2 pregnancies. I just never expected him to agree to birthing at home by myself. Jumping fir journal I'm so flipping excited

Agility Recovery Announced Among 100 U.S. Businesses as British Airways' 'Business Opportunity Grant' Recipients
CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 9 /PRNewswire/ — Agility Recovery Solutions, a premier business continuity and disaster recovery company, has been announced as one of 100 winners of British Airways' "Business Opportunity Grants" program. The award provides recipients with free airfare to anywhere in the world where British Airways flies plus valuable services to help support businesses and maximize travel experiences.
Agility Recovery Solutions specializes in providing comprehensive, turnkey business continuity solutions to small and midsized businesses across North America. To handle the traditional disaster recovery industry roadblocks of scale, cost and complexity, Agility developed ReadySuite, a solution delivering the critical assets necessary for businesses to remain operational during disasters or interruptions. According to a recent study commissioned by Agility Recovery Solutions, an overwhelming 90 percent of small to mid-size businesses are woefully unprepared for a business interruption or disaster.
"With over 5,000 customers across North America, this grant provides an efficient way to conduct meaningful face to face consultations with our clients," said Agility CEO Bob Boyd. "Disaster recovery is more than bits and bytes. It's very personal. It is about recovering people, communities, and businesses. Our philosophy about recovery synchs up perfectly with British Airways' philosophy about face to face interactions."
Agility Recovery Solutions is one of three North Carolina-based companies awarded the 2010 British Airways "Business Opportunity Grant".
"Business Opportunity Grants" is part of British Airways' "Face to Face" program, a multi-phased campaign that aims to drive forward small and medium sized businesses by focusing on face to face connections as a crucial driver of business growth. The program offers these companies a variety of support including the opportunity to travel overseas and conduct face to face business meetings that will result in new projects, deeper partnerships and revenue for U.S. cities.
For its "Business Opportunity Grants" program, British Airways hand selected the winning companies primarily based on how a year's worth of business travel and face to face meetings, along with other valuable business support, would positively impact each business, its growth and ability to meet objectives for 2010. The grant includes airfare for 10 roundtrip Club World business class flights, five free global shipments with British Airways World Cargo, $1,000 toward hotel accommodations at Courtyard by Marriott, five Regus Businessworld Gold Cards offering access to its business lounges worldwide, a Canon MX860 Printer, and three face to face business introductions through ExeConnect.
"We congratulate our 100 'Business Opportunity Grant' winners and look forward to supporting them grow their business and explore new opportunities," said Simon Talling-Smith, Executive Vice President, Americas, British Airways. "We gave away over 1,000 seats in phase one of our Face to Face program and were pleased to hear that the results of the Harvard Business Review were correct – face to face meetings is key in building long-term relationships and sealing the deal."
British Airways commissioned a survey of Harvard Business Review readers to gauge perceptions within the international business community about the importance of face to face meetings. The study aimed to uncover the impact that virtual meetings have had on business growth and relationship building. Results from the survey of over 2,300 Harvard Business Review readers concluded that 95 percent of businesspeople said they believe that face to face meetings are the key to success in building long term relationships, and 89 percent agree face to face meetings are essential for "sealing the deal."

Uncertainties of forest area estimates caused by the minimum crown cover criterion
- Paul Magdon,
- Christoph Kleinn
- … show all 2 hide
Defining "forest land" is a complex issue and has been discussed for decades. Today, a confusing multitude of definitions of forest land are in use making comparison of forest area figures difficult. But currently, comparability is receiving much attention when it comes to install market mechanisms for ecosystem services. Minimum crown cover is among the most frequently employed criteria of forest definitions. However, the size of the reference area on which the crown cover percent is to be measured is usually not defined. But how does a change of the size of the reference area affect the derived forest cover? In this study, we analyze the interactions of the crown cover threshold and the size of the reference area. We start with analyzing the interactions using a simple geometric model of the forest edge. Then, we extend the analysis by simulating artificial landscapes where we study how the interaction is affected by different degrees of forest fragmentation, crown cover proportion, and spatial resolution of the data source used. The simulation showed that large differences in forest cover (>50 %) may result for a fixed crown cover threshold value, just by changing the size of the reference area, where the magnitude of this effect is a function of the chosen threshold value and the spatial configuration of the crowns. As a consequence of the findings, we see an urgent need to complete forest definitions by defining a reference area in order to reduce uncertainties of forest cover estimates.

When I came home I wanted to format it into Vista 32 bit English, which I managed but now I am having problems with installing graphics drivers for my ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570. I tried going directly to ATI and downloading the drivers and installed them... Though I didn't get either display driver nor catalyst control center. I went to try to mod the drivers but ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 is not supported by the Mobility Modder. Any help on how to manually do it? Thanks in advance.

"The invitations were beautiful. My daughter loved them. 2 were a little damaged upon arrival other then that they were awesome."
"I received so many comliments about this card for my daughters birthday. The colors are bright and very modern. The only thing that would have made them better was to have the option of having a photo in the back. But, still by far, my favorite card I've ever ordered. It also came earlier than expected, a bonus."
"Ordered this for my daughter's Sweet 16. We were thrilled with the quality when it arrived. The card has a texture and is thick. Ordered the white rectangular envelopes that are fitted so that you don't incur extra postage and they look fine with it. It really is a beautiful invitation and makes a classy statement."
"But it doesn't matter- this invite looks great! Received many compliments on the invitation, but if you are looking for something with raised glitter this does not have that."
"This card is perfect for pre teen or really any age "girly girl" at heart. The colors are so vibrant. I chose a pearl top finish that gives a hint of shimmer. We also ordered the silver envelopes and matching address labels. They are awesome about letting you customize all these little details so it reflects your taste and is exactly what you want! My daughter loves these and was so exited to send them to her friends."

Cheers mate

V1 is inspired - dark and disturbing.
Nominating Constructive Critique
Thanks for the comments, I prefer the mono version myself too, as the textures did indeed come out better, plus there's a much more moody atmosphere to the image than in the colour variant.
Still, I uploaded both given their similarity and after all we are all different and have different preferences. The Variant option suits such a circumstance perfectly.

v1 has the drama, but v2 is a winner for the contrasty colours and composition.
Nominating Constructive Critique
Dave's right about composition - V2's composition is better as excluding the metal elements up top ends in a cleaner finish, right? Still, I like the textures in V1 better and I think B/W suits this kind of image so well, so I'm thinking this needs a V3... tonight's project. hehe... That would be V2 in black and white, with a little more texture. Let's see if we can improve on these two images.

Edin Dzeko has again declared his commitment to Manchester City.
He admits the speculation about his future is frustrating at times, but adds there is no truth in stories linking him with a move away from the Blues.
"Every time I see a newspaper - for what seems like for a year or more - there is s story saying that I am leaving City or that I want to go," said the crowd favourite.
"I've never said any of that so the stories don't come from me – I've always wanted to stay at City and fight for my place and my motto has always been 'never give up'.
"I hope the City fans, who have always been fantastic towards me, have seen I can score some important goals for the team and that's what I want to carry on doing."

Overall Experience
Everything was great except
May 18, 2015
The only complaint I have is that my car window was busted out one night and they some items. The next 2 nights my vehicle was keyed. They don't have any cameras on the parking lot. Other than that it was great.
Poor food choices and pillows
ByBusiness traveller M2015
May 18, 2015
- Need to improve food choices in pantry from the cheapo, packaged, artificial food choices.
- Need to provide firm pillow choices.
Elevator Room
May 17, 2015
This was not my best experience with CandleWood. I was "Upgraded to a better room" first floor i'm pretty sure the elevator went right through the center of the room; It was as bad as i have ever experienced. There were little black flies all over the room, though it seemed clean otherwise. Maybe additional training for front end staff on what rooms are not Ideal.
Good work space with desk with view of TV
May 16, 2015
I have to do a lot of catch up paperwork while travelling and have a desk and a good chair and a view of TV to watch while working is a big plus for me.

But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children— with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts.Psalm 103:17-18 NIV
It may be that the most relevant question for us is not "Where can we find the voice of God?" but "What prevents us from taking in the voice of God?"
This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday, when we commemorate the remarkable event that kickstarted the early Christian church. At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit descended on a gathering of Christians and vividly demonstrated that the gospel of Jesus Christ was meant for all people, regardless of nationality or ethnicity.
The book of Genesis can be interpreted in at least three ways. A new book helps us to reflect on the strengths and weaknesses of each view and draw informed conclusions in this much-debated topic.
Is the way you're reading the Bible actually making it harder for you to understand it? Mel Lawrenz talks about the best ways to approach a book as big and important as the Bible.

Parents can help their college-age children monitor spending habits, avoid identity theft, and learn from their money mistakes.
Beware the dangers of complacency, remember the virtues of defensive holdings, and resist the temptation to overreach for yield, says Morningstar's Christine Benz.
Recent volatility should prompt investors to put their performance in perspective, check their exposures, and update their watchlists.
The unemployment rate is about three times higher for those with no high school diploma versus college graduates, says Morningstar's Bob Johnson.
Strong fundamentals--including low fees, an experienced management team, and a proven bottom-up approach--are still intact at American Funds New Perspective.
We're limiting exposure to the front end of the interest rate curve in the U.S. and U.K., and shifting money to emerging-markets debt ahead of monetary easing in those regions, says BlackRock fixed-income CIO Rick Rieder.
Investors can wring more yield from their cash by using online banks, says Gary Zimmerman, founder of cash-management solution Max.
Morningstar's Bob Johnson sees the addition of jobs in the higher-paying sectors and a stable hours-worked metric as good signs for the labor market.
This week we raised our fair value for Twitter, maintained our fair value for Yum Brands in the wake of bad news, and sized up T-Mobile's newest suitor.
Paychex is one of a few firms with both an abundant capacity to pay a big dividend and a strong willingness to do so, says Morningstar's Josh Peters.
The recent decline in same-store sales growth at TJX is being driven by temporary weather trends and not an erosion of the firm's moat.
With economic growth stuck at 2%, jobs growth in July will likely slow from June's upbeat number to something closer to the 12-month average, says Morningstar's Bob Johnson.

Brown Bag Handle Bracelet
By: Heidi Borchers
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Show off your stylish side with recycled jewelry crafts. A Brown Bag Handle Bracelet from Heidi Borchers is shockingly easy to make and so chic! Don't throw out those brown paper bags - repurpose them and create pretty bangles instead.
- Aleene's Original Tacky Glue in the Gold Bottle
- Aleene's Spray Acrylic Sealer Gloss
- Brown grocery bags with handles (two handles for each bangle)
- Scissors
- Toothpick (to apply and spread glue)
- Clothespins (to hold together while drying)
- Jar (desired size is determined by desired size of finished bangle)
- Rubberband
- Acrylic paint (your choice of color plus black and/or gold)
- Cosmetic sponge
- Stencil (I use the mesh bags that you find many vegetables packaged in or the mesh that comes on the back of mosaic tiles)
- Remove two handles from grocery bags.
- To flatten handle into strip, run folds over scissors edge. (This would be similar to how you use scissors to curl ribbon.)
- Cut approximately 2″ from each end of strip to remove the stiff ends.
- To join two strips together, apply approximately 4″ of glue to end of wrong side of one strip (the side with the seam).
- Overlap to glue the ends of the two strips together ad hold in place with clothespins while glue dries.
- To create bangle, wrap strip around jar to determine overlap. Apply glue to one end of strip (approximately 4″).
- Bring other end around to start to form bangle. Apply a small dab of glue to unglued end.
- Press to join together.
- Slip onto jar and secure with rubberband. Leave undisturbed until completely dry.
- When dry, remove bangle from jar. To create a smooth final surface on the bangle, cut strip of brown bag approximately twice as wide as your bangle. Glue to outside of bangle, wrapping excess around to inside and glue in place. Use fingers to smooth brown bag. Let dry completely.
- Paint bangle inside and out. Let dry.
- Select desired pattern to use as stencil.
- Wrap around outside of bangle and hold in place.
- Dab sponge in black paint to pick up paint. Do not oversaturate with paint – a little goes a long way. Dab over entire stencil area being careful not to let stencil move.
- Remove to reveal design. Let dry completely.Spray bangle with gloss to seal and add shine.

Cornerstone University Enactus chapter will compete nationally after winning the regional competition in Chicago in April.
"I'm very proud of our Enactus team," said Shawn Newhouse, faculty advisor for the CU chapter. "They have put countless hours in this year to complete several meaningful projects."
The on-campus student group is part of an international organization that engages college students in competitive, community-wide efforts across the world.
The goal of Enactus is to combine an entrepreneurial spirit, servant leadership and active participation to find creative ways to help others.
"More than anything I've done at CU, Enactus has given me the skills and tools necessary to thrive in my life after college," said Matt Hays, graduating senior and president of CU's Enactus chapter.
Some of the chapter's project highlights included a series of networking events for students, social media seminars for local non-profit organizations, and a sustainability initiative with CU's recycling program.
The group presented results from their year-long efforts in a presentation at the regional competition. A group of students will travel to Kansas City, Mo. to compete nationally against other chapters in May.

Seven Bridges Marathon, Half Marathon & 5K
Chattanooga, TN • Sunday, October 19, 2014 •
Course Map
The wide, flowing waters of the Tennessee River will be runners' constant companion for most of the race course at the Seven Bridges Marathon, 4 Bridges Half Marathon and 2 Bridges 5K, which makes its 4th annual running along the streets of Chattanooga in 2014, nestled among the hills of the Cumberland Plateau and the Appalachian Mountains of southern Tennessee.
Runners in the half marathon will cross four of the race's six bridges, along a point-to-point course that starts in Renaissance Park across the river from downtown Chattanooga and finishes in Coolidge Park, which lies adjacent to Renaissance Park along River Street. From there, runners start the race with a bridge crossing in the early going, making their way across the John Ross Bridge over into the city's downtown entertainment district right after leaving the starting line.
The trek across the bridge is followed by a pair of right turns -- on 2nd Street and then on Chestnut Street -- that lead runners to Riverfront Parkway, passing by the world-famous Tennessee Aquarium along the way as well as AT&T Field, the home of minor league baseball's Chattanooga Lookouts, a double-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Next, they make their way along Riverfront Parkway as it winds along Ross's Landing, where runners will be able to see the riverboat tours and private boats sailing along the river.
The next few miles take runners along an out-and-back stretch along the city's west side, all the way down to the turnaround point just past Finley Stadium, the home of the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga football team.
This section gets fairly industrial, but once runners make the turn and then head back along Riverfront Parkway toward the river, the city and parkland scenery returns in time for the second bridge crossing, this time across the Olgiati Bridge as runners make their way past the mile 6 marker.
Once they make their way across the Olgiati Bridge, runners make an immediate right turn and head toward Renaissance Park where they started the race. The course turns off Manufacturers Road and brings runners through the park, and through Coolidge Park along the banks of the river and past the Chattanooga Theatre Center, a community theater whose history dates all the way back to the 1920s.
The tour through the arts district here is then followed by a third bridge, this time crossing the Tennessee over Veterans Bridge. Runners will be well into the second half of the 13.1-mile route by the time they make it back into downtown, which this time will take them right past the Hunter Museum of Art.
That's followed by a nearly two-mile-long stretch along Riverfront Parkway that leads to the park along the riverfront, and then a stretch along the paved running, walking and biking trails along the river. The final bridge runners cross is the Walnut Bridge, which leads back over to the finish line at the carousel in Coolidge Park.
Race Weather & Climate
