You are one of a kind. You are super intelligent, you know you have gifts and talents and yet, you know you aren't using them.
You feel a deep, deep pain at the thought of wasting your potential and you feel a great urgency to settle into a career that you love.
Sometimes you have so many great ideas that you don't know which one to work on first! Or maybe you've specialized in many areas but haven't found that one thing yet.
You know that you want to help people but you also want to make money doing it.
Sometimes you may feel that you'll never discover what you were meant to do in life and wonder if you'll have to resign yourself to a never-ending parade of jobs that you tolerate, where your skills and talents are over-looked and under-utilized.
How do you put all of the puzzle pieces together? How do you honor your design, find your voice, and make a living doing what you love? You've taken every career assessment under the sun, your bookshelves look like the self-help section of a bookstore yet you're still no closer to a solution.
First, take a deep breath. You are not here by accident. Imagine that you are given a compass. This compass has your own unique settings and it leads you on a step-by-step journey. On this journey, all of the things that you have loved for a long, long time are revealed, They are those things which you've forgotten about, ignored or were told didn't matter.
What if someone was able to pull all of those long-hidden clues and puzzle pieces to the surface and they became stepping stones? And what if I told you that all you have to do is follow those stepping stones to your dream job?
It is possible to find work that doesn't feel like work and possible to have a purpose-driven career helping people and be financially successful! It is possible to re-write the story of your life.
What do I mean by that?
I mean that the journey of love begins by loving yourself enough to honor the way God has wired you. You stop looking to others for approval, you stop chasing jobs based upon factors like money or how cool you will look.
If you've been longing to find meaning and purpose in the work that you do…
Schedule a free 30-minute Discovery Session where I will ask you a bunch of questions and immediately get a sense of where you are at and what's standing in your way. I will outline a plan to get you to where you want to be.
The rest is up to you.

Hakuna Matata!!!
I am pretty laid back. Most things or quirks wouldn't bother me because it is what make you who you are. I'm pretty sure I have plenty of quirks about me too. That also means that I can either go out and do things, or stay at home, with my significant other. This doesn't mean that I'm whipped, it just means that I don't care what we do, as long as we do it together. I am a kid at heart. Most of my favorite movies are Disney/Pixar cartoons, which I feel that they are some of most creative movies ever made. I recently visited Disney World with one of my coworkers. Even though I toned it down for him, I'm pretty sure he told someone that "he felt like he was taking his kid to Disney World". Hehe. What can I say? Disney is AWESOME! My sense of humor is intellectual and goofy humor. My favorite fictional character is JD from Scrubs, and I sorta act like him, so that should give you an idea of my type of humor. I also listen to "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" on NPR religiously. I also love reading in general. My favorite fiction author is Ken Follett, the author of "Pillars of the Earth" and "World without Ends". I also like to read nonfiction books about economics, history, or just cool things in general, like "Outliers" or "Freakanomics" series. Yes, I am a nerd. However, I hate the character of Sheldon in "Big Bang Theory". He's the douchebag version of a nerd. I am looking for someone who is down-to-earth, family-oriented and someone that I can have a great conversation with. I also want to raise a family so I need someone that definitely want to have kids someday. Or at least adopt:).
Book club , Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing cards , Playing sports , Political interests , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Football, Hockey, Soccer
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I love traveling and usually go on 2-3 trips every year. My favorite city to visit is NYC (just so many things to do and EAT there). Locally, I am trying to discover more places to eat. I also like going to Barnes & Noble or Starbucks to read/study.
The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX
My taste in movies is very different than most guys. I absolutely love Disney/Pixar movies. I am also into musicals as well. For books, I love reading historical novels or epic novel (Ken Follett is a great author of this genre).
My favorite hobby is this card game called Magic: the Gathering. Beside that, I also love to read. Usually, I would be reading one book after another. And as required of being an Asian, I love karaoke:) even though I'm tone-deaf.
A Place Called Armageddon, End This Depression Now. The Hobbit, Outliers, Winter of the World, Percy Jackson series. Time's Keeper. Superfreakonomics. Reading - 1356 by Bernard Cornwell, which is my favorite historical fiction writer

Barack Obama has pulled ahead in the race for Iowa's Democratic presidential caucuses, while the party's national frontrunner Hillary Clinton has slipped to second in the leadoff nominating state, according to The Des Moines Register's new Iowa Poll.
Despite the movement, the race for 2008's opening nominating contest remains very competitive about a month before the Jan. 3 caucuses, just over half of likely caucusgoers who favor a candidate saying they could change their minds.
Obama, an Illinois senator, leads for the first time in the Register's poll as the choice of 28 percent of likely caucusgoers, up from 22 percent in October. Clinton, a New York senator, was the preferred candidate of 25 percent, down from 29 percent in the previous poll.
Former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, who led in the Register's May poll, held steady with 23 percent, in third place, but part of the three-way battle.
The lead change appears after weeks of increasing criticism of Clinton by Obama and Edwards about her position on U.S. policy toward Iran and questions of her candor.
Meanwhile, Clinton has recently begun accusing Obama of inexperience and criticizing his proposal to expand health insurance coverage.
The poll shows what has continued to be a wide gap between the top three candidates and the remainder of the field. The telephone survey of 500 likely Democratic caucusgoers was conducted Nov. 25 to 28 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.
Iowa City Democrat Katharyn Browne said she abandoned her support for Clinton in the past month and now supports Obama in light of the Iran issue.
Obama spent weeks in October and November attacking Clinton's support for a measure that allowed President Bush to declare the Iran's Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization, a move Obama said was a step toward war. Clinton said the measure enhanced U.S. negotiating strength with Iran.
"An Iran war terrifies me," said Browne, a 30-year-old University of Iowa student.
Browne said she feels Obama is a more inspirational candidate than Clinton, despite the intensifying crossfire between them.
"I just think that Obama is more of a positive candidate overall," she said. "Aside from the Clinton-Obama interaction lately, it's nice to hear a candidate with a positive outlook. I think our country needs that right now."
Browne, who supported Clinton early partly out of gender loyalty, represents a shift among some women caucusgoers from Clinton to Obama.
In the new poll, Obama leads with support from 31 percent of women likely attend the caucuses, compared to 26 percent for Clinton. In October, Clinton was the preferred candidate of 34 percent of women caucusgoers, compared to 21 percent for Obama.
Women represent roughly six in 10 Democratic caucusgoers, according to the new poll.
Obama also dominates among younger caucusgoers, with support from 48 percent from those younger than 35. Clinton was the choice of 19 percent in that group and Edwards of 17 percent.
The under-35 bloc represents 14 percent of Democratic caucusgoers, up from 9 percent in the October poll.
Obama has an advantage among first-time caucusgoers. He also leads among people who say they definitely will attend the caucuses.

Murder suspect Travaris Walker is back in Charleston after being extradited from Georgia, where he fled after slipping from his electronic monitoring bracelet last month, authorities said.
Charleston County deputies brought Walker, 29, back to the Lowcountry on Wednesday evening and placed him in the Cannon Detention Center, sheriffs Maj. Jim Brady said.
Walker is accused of fatally shooting Marquis Rashad Richardson, 25, in the head Dec. 19 in Lincolnville after Walker and three others allegedly abducted Richardson from a peninsula home.
Investigators said Walker shot Richardson after he was unable to reclaim some property he believed Richardson had taken from him.
Walker fled Charleston on Oct. 20, after slipping out of his monitoring device, authorities said. The U.S. Marshals Service tracked him to Riverdale, Ga., where he was taken into custody Oct. 26.
Walker will be scheduled for a hearing before a circuit judge, which will likely occur next week at the earliest, Brady said.

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
One mild summer evening, a young couple are enjoying dinner while their daughter sleeps peacefully in her stroller under a tree. When her mother steps outside she is stunned: The child is covered in blood.
Inspector Sejer is called to the hospital to meet the family. Mercifully, the child is unharmed, but the parents are deeply shaken, and Sejer spends the evening trying to understand why anyone would carry out such a sinister prank. Then, just before midnight, somebody rings his doorbell.
No one is at the door, but the caller has left a small gray envelope on Sejers mat. From his living room window, the inspector watches a figure disappear into the darkness. Inside the envelope Sejer finds a postcard bearing a short message: Hell begins now.
This is classic Fossum—and the critics are saying this is her best book since The Indian Bride.
When Inspector Sejer receives a postcard with the message "Hell begins now," he sets out to uncover who's behind a string of cruel pranks that have thrown the peaceful town of Bjerkas into unrest, in this chilling new installment of the Inspector Konrad Sejer series from "the next Scandinavian literary superstar" (Chicago Tribune), acclaimed Norwegian mystery writer Karin Fossum.
For the first time, Fossum shows her hand-- a novel about an author whose latest creation is the melancholy tale of a complacent man whose life is ripped apart by a young drug addict.
A woman wakes up in the middle of the night. A strange man is in her bedroom. She lies there in silence, paralyzed with fear. The woman is an author and the man one of her characters, one in a long line that waits in her driveway for the time when shell tell their stories. He is so desperate that he has resorted to breaking into her house and demanding that she begin. He, the author decides, is named Alvar Eide, forty-two years old, single, works in a gallery. He lives a quiet, orderly life and likes it that way—no demands, no unpleasantness. Until the icy winter morning when a young drug addict, skinny and fragile, walks into the gallery. Alvar gives her a cup of coffee to warm her up. And then one day she appears on his doorstep. Broken is an unconventional, subtle, and disturbing mystery from a master of the form.
After a truffle-hunting dog unearths a human hand instead of a precious fungus, Chief Inspector Wexford and his team proceed to interrogate everyone who lives nearby to see if they can turn up a match for the errant appendage among the eighty-five people who have disappeared over the past decade in this part of England. Then, when a second body is discovered nearby, Wexford experiences a feeling that's become a rarity for the veteran policeman: surprise. As Wexford painstakingly moves to resolve these multiple mysteries, long-buried secrets are brought to daylight, and Ruth Rendell once again proves why she has been hailed as our greatest living mystery writer.

Jonathan Nott is Professor of Geoscience, College of Science, Technology and Engineering, James Cook University, Cairns, Australia. He has held appointments at Northern Territory University (now Charles Darwin University) and the Australian National University.
Professor Nott is a Member of the International Society for the Prevention and Mitigation of Natural Hazards, Australian Quaternary Association and formerly member of the National Committee for Quaternary Research Australian Academy of Science.
Professor Nott undertakes research into extreme natural events such as river floods, tsunamis and tropical cyclones and specializes in post-event surveys both in Australia and overseas. He also specialises in reconstructing long-term natural records of these extreme events. These records provide a more realistic guide to the long-term behaviour of these hazards and can be used as a basis for estimating their return intervals and for risk assessment.
Prof. Nott has published many articles on these topics in international refereed journals and has provided the first detailed review of the techniques involved in reconstructing these long-term records in his book 'Extreme Events' published by Cambridge University Press in 2006.

Iowa's dairy quiz bowl team
AMES, Iowa -- Iowa placed third in the National Invitational 4-H Dairy Quiz Bowl held Nov. 5, 2005, at the North American International Livestock Exposition in Louisville, Ky.
A test of knowledge, the Dairy Quiz Bowl is an educational experience for participants, according to Mary Clancy, ag program coordinator with Iowa State University Extension 4-H Youth Development.
The champion Iowa team (Fayette County) finished third out of 19 teams. Top place teams were, in rank order, New York, Maryland, Iowa and Minnesota.
Clancy described the Dairy Quiz Bowl as one of the nation's most challenging contests for dairy industry youth to test their knowledge of dairy cattle and dairy products. It attracts youth from across the country -- Wisconsin to Alabama and Vermont to Washington.
The Expo is the largest all-breed, purebred livestock event in the world and attracts nearly 22,000 entries in nine livestock types and nearly 225,000 visitors.
4-H is a community of young people across America who are learning leadership, citizenship and life skills.

Notes: Kearns meeting expectations
In lineup every day, outfielder feeling more comfortable
By Jason Grey / Special to MLB.com
PHOENIX -- There were a lot of expectations placed on Austin Kearns after he finished third in the Rookie of the Year balloting in 2002.
After a few seasons of battling through various difficulties, it appears Kearns is finally ready to meet them.
Kearns had a seven-game hit streak, in which he hit .520 (13-for-25), snapped on Saturday night but has gone hitless in consecutive games just once this season. He is among the league leaders in hits, doubles and multi-hit games.
For his part, manager Jerry Narron doesn't think there is much that is different about him this year.
"I really don't think there's a big difference," Narron said. "I don't think he's doing anything different. He knows he's going to be in the lineup close to every day, so that might help him."
That indeed might be the key. When Wily Mo Pena was traded at the end of Spring Training, it assured that Kearns' name would be a fixture on the lineup card.
"I think playing every day has helped a lot," Kearns said. "I'm more relaxed up there and not trying to do too much. It allows you to work through some things if you have a couple of bad games in a row, and in the past it wasn't that way, so you try to take advantage of being out there."
After Kearns' fine 2002 campaign, in which he hit .315 with 13 homers in 102 games, things went downhill, mostly due to injuries.
He suffered a torn labrum and a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder that ended his season early in 2003. A broken left arm and a right thumb injury cost him most of 2004.
Last season, in the midst of a poor start and some concerns about his overall conditioning, he was sent to Triple-A for more than a month. He eventually returned to set career highs in homers and RBIs, giving the Reds hope that they would finally be able to see what a healthy, productive Kearns could do over a full year in the big leagues.
So far, so good.
"I think confidence is the big thing," said the 25-year-old right fielder. "I'm pretty hard on myself when it comes to baseball stuff, and it's easy to be that way, so confidence is a big thing for me."
Resting up: Ryan Freel has struggled recently, with just three hits in his last 24 at-bats to drop his average to .237. Narron thinks he's pressing at the plate a little bit.
"I'm sure he is [pressing]," said Narron. "He's human and he's been struggling and he has to be wanting to hit every time he goes up, but he's going to be fine."
Narron has often talked about making sure that he doesn't overwork Freel, and he gave him the day off on Sunday.
"Over the last three weeks he's played almost every day," Narron said, "and I think it will help him by taking a couple of days off, as much as I like seeing him in the everyday lineup."
Offense and defense: The Reds offense has gained a lot of notoriety through the first month of the season by leading the National League in runs scored. Because of that, it's easy to overlook how well the rotation has been performing. Over the last 10 games, the starters have posted a 2.60 ERA.
"We've pitched well, we really have. I'm tickled to death at the way we've pitched," Narron said.
A special moment: The Reds and Pirates will play in this summer's exhibition Hall of Fame Game in Cooperstown, N.Y., on May 15. The Reds have not played in the game since 1967.
Four-year-old Kobe Stenson, son of the late Reds outfielder Dernell Stenson -- who was killed in Phoenix during the 2003 Arizona Fall League -- will throw out a ceremonial first pitch at the game. Stenson was shot and then run over with his own SUV on Nov. 5, 2003, in what appeared to be a carjacking, but was ultimately determined to be part of a more elaborate robbery scheme. Ken Griffey Jr. will meet with the young boy and asked the Hall of Fame if Kobe could throw the pitch.
Finally nabbed: Felipe Lopez was caught stealing in the first inning of Sunday's game, ending a streak of 11 straight to start the season, the most since Deion Sanders stole 11 in a row to begin the 1997 season. No Reds player had done more than that since Gary Redus went 15-for-15 in 1984.
Did you know? If you believe in omens, the start of the Reds season is a good sign of possible things to come. At 20-11 going into Sunday afternoon's game, the team is off to its best start since the 1995 playoff team began with the same record. Winning 21 of their first 32 games hasn't happened since the 1990 World Series champion club went 24-8.
On deck: Monday is a travel day back to Cincinnati, where the Reds will open a six-game homestand against the Nationals on Tuesday night. Southpaw Brandon Claussen (2-3, 5.63 ERA) will start for the Reds, with Tony Armas Jr. (2-2, 3.98 ERA) going for the Nationals.

ACN alleges illegal thumbprinting of ballot papers in Kogi
The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in Kogi State has alleged that members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have been thumbprinting ballot papers to cover up for the alleged rigging of the December 3 governorship election.
ACN's Chief Strategist in the state, Dino Melaye, spoke with reporters yesterday in Abuja.
The former House of Representatives member said ACN has authentic information that the PDP leadership in Kogi summoned some political appointees in the state and mandated them to assemble 50 people from each of the local governments.
He alleged that the 50 persons were asked to thumbprint ballot papers for N1,000 at designated places in the local governments.
Melaye said the media briefing became necessary to alert the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Police and other security agencies on the development.
He said: "We have very authentic revelations that the PDP leadership in Kogi State met with all political appointees in the state two day ago and resolved that every appointee should get 50 people in his/her local government to thumbprint ballot papers for N1,000 each.
"The ACN and its candidate filed a petition at the Governorship Election Petitions Tribunal, sitting in Lokoja, against the scientific rigging that characterised the December 3rd election.
"Having seen what we have filed, the PDP realised that the figures appropriated to PDP and its governorship candidate does not tally with the ballot papers that were submitted to INEC.
"Because of this, they initiated the thumb printing of ballot papers, knowing fully well that there would be forensic investigation of the ballot papers.
"They want to ameliorate the situation by thumbprinting ballot papers that will tally with the vote allocation.
"We are crying out to INEC Chairman Attahiru Jega and Nigerians to reveal what they are doing. No amount of intimidation or blackmail will distract our attention from pursuing this just cause.
"We will continue to monitor them to see how these ballot papers would be transported to INEC in either Lokoja or Abuja. Many have alleged that INEC is an extension or parastatal of PDP, but we are waiting to see if this is true or not.
"We urge INEC to stop these illegal ballot papers from finding their way into its offices anywhere. We were told that the ballot papers were serialised, but nothing is impossible in this country; they could have been duplicated.
"The battle to save our people and reclaim our mandate is a battle of no retreat no surrender. We will do everything within the ambit of the law to reclaim our stolen.
"Recent revelations and judgments in the Appeal Court have proven that, indeed, Kogi PDP has rigging flowing in its DNA.
"The election of Senator Attai Idoko of the PDP was upturned by the court. That of the PDP's candidate in Vassa local government was also upturned. The House of Representatives election in Dekina Bassa has been cancelled by the Court of Appeal and a retrial ordered, another in Ibachi has been cancelled and a retrial ordered.
"No other opposition party, the ACN and the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), has lost any seat to the PDP. All the elections upturned in Kogi State were against the PDP. That proves that the PDP, with its rigging machinery, actually rigged the last governorship election.
"Everything legitimate, right and just will be employed to make sure that the purported victory of the PDP in the last election is upturned in favour of the choice of the masses.
"The purported victory of PDP in the December 3rd election is temporary and, in a matter of months, it will evaporate."

Photograph - Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd, Building 10, Medical & Personnel, During Early Stages of Construction, Kodak Factory, Coburg, Jul 1960 Reg. No: MM 98292
- Summary:
- Black and white silver gelatin photograph, view looking south-east from Gatehouse Road towards Building 10, Personnel and Medical, Kodak factory, Coburg, July 1960
The single storey Building 10 was a simple flat roofed steel framed structure on a reinforced concrete floor with brick walls on the east and west ends, and glass and timber composite feature walls on the north and south sides. The open spaced interior allowed for internal walls to be light weight and non-load-bearing that could be easily altered to suit changing requirements of these departments. In this view the concrete floor and bare steel frame with aluminium roof has been completed.
Building 10 housed the Medical Centre, with a full-time physician and three nursing sisters and a part-time physiotherapist. It also featured a Personnel Centre including payroll, recruitment and other staff relations, as well as a small Purchasing Section supporting the factory.
Kodak manufactured and distributed a wide range of photographic products to Australasia, such as, film, paper, chemicals, cameras and miscellaneous equipment. Its client base included amateur and professional photographers as well as specialist medical and graphic art professionals who used photography, x-ray and other imaging techniques.
This photograph is part of the Kodak collection of products, promotional materials, photographs and working life artefacts collected from Kodak Australasia in 2005 after the manufacturing plant at Coburg had closed down the year before.
- Description:
- Black and white silver gelatin photograph printed on light weight paper with holes punched along the left edge, landscape format.

Despite an intensifying air of anticipation surrounding the case, authorities have yet to charge Peterson with any crime.
Police have previously searched Peterson's home and have seized some of his property, including computers, a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix and a 2005 GMC Yukon Denali driven by Drew Peterson. An earlier search warrant indicated that police were searching for records from the company that made the GPS system in Peterson's Denali.
The latest warrant, obtained last week by ABC News, said that the police intend to search Peterson's GPS system, which "contains data in a format that is not easily obtained or seized."
It says that police were looking for plastic shavings, blue plastic, lead weights and other objects with scuff marks, circular impressions or any other indication that Peterson had a "plastic or barrel-like object or large storage container" in the SUV.
It also says police are looking at anything that could help them place Peterson's car at a specific location, such as dirt, gravel and soil. Cops are also looking for guns, ammunition, knives, ropes, carpet, or anything else that may have been used as a "weapon or restraint."
The warrant seeks objects that "have any of the following on them: blood, hairs, fingernails, bodily fluids, body tissue, DNA, fingerprints, fingernail scrapings, palm prints, saliva, urine, feces or other biological material which may be evidence of the offense of first degree murder."
"Drew and his children should not have to lose everything accumulated in 30 years of public service,'' the Web site message concludes. "Drew and his children risk losing their life savings, house, automobiles, and may end up impoverished, all by simply defending himself against allegations."
The site bills itself as a the Official Drew Peterson Defense Fund -- People For Justice.
"He's obviously feeling the heat,'' Bosco said. "He believes he is going to court."

Hi all,
I thought I'd post this thread here because I'm sure many others have been through the experience. My lifestyle is suitable enough to own a puppy, and I've done my homework and have come to the conclusion that a Boston Terrier is the breed I'm going to go with. I have absolutely no preference on the gender.
That being said, the next question is: from where? The two primary options I'm considering are from recommended breeders of the local breeders club and from the classifieds section. I think rescuing a dog is an extremely admirable thing to do and I know some people who have been very lucky in that regard, but admittedly, I can't get past the idea of potentially adopting a dog that's been so abused it will never be able overcome it to be "normal". Don't worry, I have no intention of looking at a pet store or anything along those lines.
As you'll probably expect, the price difference is significant between the two options. Purchasing from a recommended breeder in my area is a minimum of $900 for a male and about $1000 for a female. I've checked with other breeders and confirmed that is indeed the going rate for a puppy of this breed. On the other hand, you can find puppies of this breed available in the paper from $200 - $300. Price is not a major consideration, but if a perfectly fine puppy can be had from the classifieds, the price difference would make the decision a no brainer.
My reluctance towards buying a puppy from a listing in the classifieds is that I have the impression that I am less likely to know exactly what I'm getting vs. someone who has years and years of experience in this area. If anyone that has gone either of these routes would care to share your experiences and/or advice, I'd greatly appreciate it.

We were soooo incredibly excited about our baby. We have a son who is almost 15 months old and when we delivered the baby, we found out he was going to have a little brother. That's what makes it so sad...
I'm going to post my story on the exactly what did you see board later on, because nothing I have read so far, was my experience.
We are going to bury the baby today in our backyard (we could not bear to just throw it away and the baby is too big to flush down the toilet, which we wouldn't have been able to do anyway).

Again, I'm so sorry for your loss.
i'm so, so sorry.
I agree with the pp that talks about it being traumatic- there is no other category to put it in, to say the least.
Did you name him yet? I think a burial in the back yard will be comforting. I wish my son had been buried, and close to home.
Big hugs to you and your dh.

So sorry for your loss.

Three big girls (10) + (almost 9!);
One little boy (6) and a full on toddler (8/12) born with TAPVR (repaired at 6 days old).
I think writing your experience can be healing, and also helpful to others in similar situations.
We had a 10 wk demise with a backyard burial. It was really beautiful, but it took me a while to even let DH bury the baby. Still we felt so lucky to have the body, during the process we were hospitalized overnight, and I don't think they let you keep it.
It sounds like your demise and delivery happened very close together, so maybe that means something vis a vis the cause?
Aeona - married to super hot nerd Toby . . . mama to Grace (10) Evangeline (8) Duncan 11.14.08 , Henry (5) born at home and Ruby, 11.27.14.
Today is the one month anniversary of my miscarriage--I was 14w5d pregnant and so I feel like I'm probably familiar with what you experienced. Our baby was also a boy--our third son. We named him Noah and took two pictures of him, which I'm glad to have. Giving birth to him was very much like my other births, just the baby was small (4 inches). I think frequently about the moment he was born--how it felt, how he looked, etc. I don't remember it as a traumatic experience exactly--it was a birth and a letting go and it is almost "comforting" in a way for me to remember his birth (each time it is "proof" that he was here and I was pregnant or something?)
We buried our baby to the left of our front yard, by our labyrinth (we live in the woods in the country, so we don't exactly have a "yard" but more like land in front of and behind the house). I wrote a little bit about the ceremony we had for him here. I have more to say that I haven't had a chance to add yet. My dad cleaned up his body and we put him into a walnut Shaker box that my dad made, along with a liner and blanket that my mom crocheted. Then, we all added items to the box--a picture of our other kids, some springs of lavender, a penny from 2009, a venus of willendorf bead, a womb labyrinth postcard, etc.
Anyway, if you would like to talk more, I'm here!
Thinking of you and your baby.
DH 10/01, DS 1/04, DS 1/06, DS 5/09 (born sleeping), DD 4/11
i know thinking about the birth at first for me was very traumatic, (16 weeks loss) but as time goes by it is sort of comforting me to think about it,
with DH for 6 years, looking for lots of sticky baby dust for our baby.
We named our son Simon Bradford. We liked the name Simon and Bradford is my husband's name.
We buried him in our backyard on Sunday afternoon.
SAHM mom to 3 wonderful kids!
My loss was at 18 weeks and I had problems eating and sleeping for the first several weeks. While I'm still devastated with our loss three months later, I do eat and sleep better. Grief comes in different stages, both physically and emotionally.
Take care of yourself. I'll be thinking of you.
It is sad, so sad and I wish for brighter days ahead for your family.

While it didn't do for Louisiana music what the film The Harder They Come did for reggae, the soundtrack to director Jim McBride's steamy and stylized cops-and-corruption movie is a pretty good introduction to the region's extensive musical delights (even if gospel's great Swan Silvertones are from West Virginia). The late Dewey Balfa (who appears in the film's sweet porch-party scene) is to Cajun music's rural past what Terrance Simien and Zachary Richard are to its rocking present. Buckwheat Zydeco is to zydeco what Beausoleil is to Cajun: an intelligent synthesis of the old and new that you can dance to. It's a shame the St. Augustine's Marching Hundred's raw and jumping version of "Li'l Liza Jane" didn't make the cut from film to album. And it's an even bigger shame that star Dennis Quaid's awful ballad did. --Richard Gehr

CeBIT Open Source: Linux Magazine and Linux Foundation Announce Call for Projects
Open Source is emerging for the first time as a central theme at the CeBIT 2009 conference. Linux Magazine, together with the conference organizers and the Linux Foundation, is now encouraging Open Source projects to bid for free booths at the conference.
CeBIT 2009, the largest global IT trade show opens March 3-8 in Hannover, Germany. For the first time Open Source becomes a central theme. Without these projects free software would be unthinkable, therefore not only will industries take part, but free projects will have the opportunity to share their work with the larger public. Linux Magazine, together with the conference organizer Deutsche Messe AG, is therefore seeking out projects that wish to present their work publicly at CeBIT Open Source.
An international jury will decide by November 30 who will be awarded the free booths. The jury will include international open source experts, among them also the Linux Foundation. The Linux Foundation is the non profit organization behind the Linux operating system and currently employs Linux founder Linus Torvalds. Amanda McPherson, Vice President of marketing and developer programs with the Linux Foundation: "The Linux Foundation is pleased to see such a large and important IT trade show as CeBit focus on open source software. We're pleased to support the conference and expand the use of open source software."
Starting now, every Open Source project can bid for a free booth at the conference. Only noncommercial projects with strong connection to Linux or Open Source will be considered. Interested projects can get further details from the participation requirements. Apply via the web application on the Call for Projects page.
CeBIT Open Source 2009 gives a deadline of October 30, 2008, for projects to submit applications. In addition to their presentations at the Hannover conference, the winning projects will also get the opportunity to present their work to a larger public in the German and international editions of Linux Magazine Online. The jury will include international Open Source experts named by Linux New Media and will decide on the winning entries by November 30. The winners will be announced on Linux Magazine Online.

South Yorks police under fire over child protection
The police force at the centre of the Rotherham child abuse scandal is failing in one of its most important duties - to protect children according to the police watchdog.
Today's report by HM Inspectorate of Constabulary says the South Yorkshire force has "limited understanding" of the risk posed by offenders who target vulnerable children. And it's been given six weeks to address its problems. David Hirst reports.

Chief Constable gave "incorrect" information - Vaz
Keth Vaz, the chairman of Parliament's influential Home Affairs Select Committee, has criticised South Yorkshire Police' s Chief Constable David Crompton for giving incorrect information to the committee.
Mr Vaz MP said : " The Chief Constable has now stated that the information he gave to the Committee yesterday, concerning the number of convictions in Rotherham, was incorrect.
" It is extraordinary that he did not know how many people have been convicted of these crimes. Parliament, and the public, need accurate information about these serious and sensitive issues. We will expect a full explanation next Tuesday.
" I have spoken to the Chief Constable requesting clarity on the Rotherham convictions. "
Ex attorney general questions handling of Cliff Richard case
The former attorney general Dominic Grieve has questioned South Yorkshire Police's handling of the sex offence investigation into Sir Cliff Richard as "odd" and "very questionable," reports The Telegraph.
Mr Grieve has accused the force of colluding with the BBC in allowing the search of Sir Cliff's home in Berkshire on Thursday to be filmed by the broadcaster as it was taking place.
South Yorkshire Police is investigating an allegation that the singer sexually assaulted a boy at a concert in Sheffield almost 30 years ago. Sir Cliff has described the claim as "completely false." He learned of the search of his apartment only when the BBC broadcast pictures of the operation..
Dominic Grieve, who left the cabinet last month, is the most senior politician to call into question the decision by South Yorkshire Police to tell the BBC when the search was going to take place.
"I can see that police might not want to warn somebody about a search because they fear a suspect will destroy the evidence. But it was much odder to tip off the BBC that they were carrying out the raid. That seems quite extraordinary... "Unless the police can show the sound public reason for doing that, it suggests a collusive relationship with the BBC which is very odd.
Meanwhile the same newspaper is reporting that Keith Vaz MP, the chairman of the powerful House of Commons home affairs select committee, is to write to David Crompton, South Yorkshire's chief constable, to demand an explanation of the force's actions, saying "serious questions need to be asked" about the way it had handled the matter.
South Yorkshire Police says it did not leak information to the BBC, but instead agreed to tell a BBC reporter of the date that Sir Cliff's house would be searched in return for the BBC delaying publication of any of the facts. The force says the BBC reporter had contacted South Yorkshire Police some weeks earlier making it clear he knew of the existence of the investigation and although the force was reluctant to co-operate, it did so in order to preserve the integrity of its inquiry.
BBC defends its role in Cliff Richard raid
The BBC has defended itself against claims by South Yorkshire Police that it breached its own editorial guidelines in its reporting of the search of Sir Cliff Richard's house by detectives investigating an allegation of a sex offence against a boy in Sheffield in the 1980s.
Both the broadcaster and the force have faced criticism from Sir Cliff and a number of MPs about the presence of BBC News cameras outside the property in Sunningdale, Berkshire, even before the police searches began.
South Yorkshire Police says it did not leak information to the BBC, but instead agreed to tell a BBC reporter of the date that Sir Cliff's house would be searched in return for the BBC delaying publication of any of the facts. The force says the BBC reporter had contacted South Yorkshire Police some weeks earlier making it clear he knew of the existence of the investigation and although the force was reluctant to co-operate, it did so in order to preserve the integrity of its inquiry.
Tonight the BBC reported the following statement from one of its own spokespeople.
"A BBC journalist approached South Yorkshire Police with information about the investigation. The BBC agreed to follow normal journalistic practice and not to publish a story that might jeopardise a police inquiry."
Police Commissioner to examine Cliff Richard inquiry
The Police and Crime Commissioner in South Yorkshire is to examine the chain of events in the force's handling of the Sir Cliff Richard sex offence inquiry amid growing concerns about the presence of the media at the singer's house when officers carried out searches there on Thursday.
Shaun Wright says questions need to be asked abut the source of the original leak, which he says put the force in "a difficult position when approached by the media."
"The Commissioner is committed to ensuring that the policing needs of South Yorkshire communities are met, and this includes effectively addressing and investigating any concerns raised, including those in relation to ethical conduct.
In light of the outcomes of the Leveson Inquiry, the Commissioner will be looking very carefully at the catalogue of events which took place in relation to this investigation and any necessary actions will be taken. Questions need to be answered as to the original source of the leak, which put the force in a difficult position when approached by the media. In the meantime, working to protect the integrity of this investigation has been, and will continue to be of the utmost importance. It would therefore not be appropriate at this stage to comment any further on operational policing issues when an investigation is on-going."
South Yorks Police complain to BBC over Cliff Richard
South Yorkshire Police has complained to the BBC about its reporting of the Sir Cliff Richard sex offence inquiry. The force has written to the director general of the BBC saying it believes the broadcaster has "contravened its editorial guidelines."
BBC News crews were outside Sir Cliff's house in Sunningdale before officers from South Yorkshire Police began their searches there on Thursday. The broadcaster broke news of the police operation on its lunchtime bulletins. Since then, Sir Cliff and a number of MPs and prominent lawyers have criticised the involvement of the media.
South Yorkshire Police insists it did not leak information to the BBC, but instead agreed to tell a BBC reporter of the date that Sir Cliff's house would be searched in return for the BBC delaying publication of any of the facts. The force says the BBC reporter had contacted South Yorkshire Police some weeks earlier making it clear he knew of the existence of the investigation and although the force was reluctant to co-operate, it did so in order to preserve the integrity of its inquiry.
"The force was contacted some weeks ago by a BBC reporter who made it clear he knew of the existence of an investigation. It was clear he in a position to publish it. The force was reluctant to co-operate but felt that to do otherwise would risk losing any potential evidence, so in the interests of the investigation it was agreed that the reporter would be notified of the date of the house search in return for delaying publication of any of the facts. Contrary to media reports, this decision was not taken in order to maximise publicity, it was taken to preserve any potential evidence. South Yorkshire Police considers it disappointing that the BBC was slow to acknowledge that the force was not the source of the leak. A letter of complaint has been sent to the Director General of the BBC making it clear that the broadcaster appears to have contravened its editorial guidelines.
South Yorkshire Police would welcome an investigation into the original leak. Finally we want to stress that this is an ongoing and complex investigation and we are in the process of gathering evidence. This is likely to take some time and we would caution against any reporting which may be prejudicial. This is in the interests of all parties."
EDL to stage demo in Doncaster
There will be a strong police presence in Doncaster this afternoon when the English Defence League hold a demonstration in the town and the group United Against Facism stage a counter protest.
South Yorkshire Police and Doncaster Council are working with other partners to minimise the impact of today's demonstration in the Hexthorpe area .
Doncaster Superintendant Peter Norman said: "South Yorkshire Police has a duty to keep people and property safe and the public can be reassured that this is our priority.
"We have no legal power to ban the proposed protest and have a duty to respect individual's rights to protest peacefully.
"Careful, detailed planning and regular communication with protest groups has taken place and together with the council, we are making every effort to minimise disruption to the local community and to the road network.
"We will have extra officers on hand to ensure the protest passes peacefully and I wish to reassure local residents and businesses that Saturday's operation will not affect normal policing in Doncaster.
"Regular face-to-face dialogue will continue with the community before, during and after the demonstrations. We continue to thank local people, particularly residents in Hexthorpe, for their cooperation and understanding."
The latest information is that EDL demonstrators will gather from 11am near Doncaster train station. Around 12.30pm, they will make their way along St Sepulchre Gate to march at 1pm into Hexthorpe on Urban Road before listening to speeches at the park near Albion Terrace.

I applaud Barnaby's honesty. As an owner of a Leica M240 I have experienced some of the frustrations that he addresses in the T review. Contrary to Ivan's assertion real shooters do buy and use Leica but it's usually a love-hate relationship. Unless the M240 is used with the machine age technology rangefinder it is too slow for dynamic professional use. The M240 EVF cycle time is nearly a full second making it nearly useless except for studio or landscape work. I shoot weddings and could never use this camera responsibly. I have just purchased a Sony A7s which is a joy to use with the Leica glass and is delivering what I'd hoped that the M240 would bring. The EVF is excellent, bright and it allows me to focus quickly and surely. The A7s's EVF cycle time is instant and the camera is fast, intuitive and a total joy to use. The A7s proves that a pro level mirrorless camera is possible and that Leica has no excuse for their sophomoric human interface. Way to go Barnaby!
I haven't heard too much discussion about what I feel are the most compelling combination of features of this S cam - smaller file sizes, silent operation and massive dynamic range. The high ISO performance is a nice bonus too. Recently I switched from a 5Dlll, routinely using the 12 mp small raw feature for weddings, to a Sony A7r for people, using both Sony glass and Leica lenses. Even with the Leica glass and manual focus the A7r is as fast and intuitive as the 5Dlll at about half the weight. But the A7r Howitzer-like shutter is so noisy that it began to ruin the fun of shooting it. Then along came the S. THIS is perfect for me and could be the ultimate "people cam". Small, silent, non-intimidating with crazy DR and reasonable file sizes. There's no need to rip this 12 mp camera for low res or think it's going backwards in any way. Ripping this camera for it's resoulution is like ripping a great putter for not being able to drive a golf ball 350 yards. I'd call it a bullseye.
The advantage of simple is not just cheaper. It is a profound concept. I own an electronics manufacturing business and we strive for simplicity in all of our designs. Not only does it keep costs down as Roger says BUT it greatly increases reliability. The more tweaky something is to assemble the higher the likelihood of failure. Simple does not happen by accident. It is the highest of design and manufacturing skills.
Lucas_: After reading many of the responses here, I'm convinced that Adobe is "living on a cloud"! They may have to come down to Earth and realize that in a multitude of places today there's no wide band Internet and another many don't even have dial-up! Are they certain that nobody living on those places uses PS, ...or they really don't care?
By limiting future versions exclusively to the cloud Adobe just effectively announced that they are turning their backs on a not insignificant percentage of users who have been purchasing and relying on these tools for several decades. So many photographers have "grown up" with PS and totally rely on it's tools and workflow that it's rather obscene that Adobe is flushing so many of us.
Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
I voted for the Canon 5Dlll but the Leica M Monochrom deserves a very special mention. Props to Leica for creating such an impractically wonderful camera for us BW photographers. No company in their right mind would do something like this. Hopefully some of the big boys will be inspired to offer a B&W only model in a more affordable format. 5DlV-BW or D900-BW anyone?
Fuji Please Please fix the few bugs that separate this camera from high end hobby to truly pro. I own and truly love this camera but it is like the Mona Lisa with bad breath. The image quality is the equal of my M9-P (yes, really) BUT the handling quirks make it suck for dynamic pro situations. The slow AF and useless MF is well documented and my solution is to shoot with Leica lenses and use manual focus. Fast, Pro, Lovely. HOWEVER THE INEXCUSABLE flaw for a "pro" camera is that the EVF (a must use for 3rd party MF lenses) does not "refresh" or let go of the current exposure fast enough to stay "in the moment". Also you get no image preview on the LCD as you must shut off the image preview when shooting with the EVF. If the image preview was selectable independently for the EFV and LCD this would be golden. A few fixes would make it professionally useful and this camera would become iconic. Fuji, just give a bunch of these to wedding photographers and listen to them. C'mon Fuji!!
Does anybody know if the X-Pro 1 still has, or has fixed, the virtually useless manual focus by wire of the X100? And have they improved the AF speed?
These are the achilles heels of the otherwise wonderful X100 which I owned for a short while. I never felt I could use it in a dynamic professional setting if I had to get the shot. The shots I did get were excellent but the AF was too slow for professional use and the manual focus was useless. A good manual focus would have made up for slow AF and elevated this camera to pro level. The X-Pro 1 is up against lots of cams one can use professionally. A slightly slow AF could be overlooked but if the manual focus is still retarded this camera should never be regarded as a professional tool.
