The world is in a frenzy about the Royal wedding and I admit I was a little misty-eyed when I watched the couple take their second kiss on the balcony. A princess is born!
Not everyone can get the Royal treatment that Kate did but you can celebrate in style with these Royal-inspired butter LONDON nail colors:
HRH (Stands for Her Royal Highness- which is what she will be known...

The great thing about Deborah Lippmann nail lacquers is that they offer the perfect consistency to layer and build your shades. Any of the glitter polishes such as the popular Glitter In The Air, Across The Universe, and Happy Birthday shades can be layered 1-2 times to allow a hint of glitter or numerous coats so your nails look as flashy as a discotheque! (highlight these shades in bold with links to site)
If glitter is not in your repertoire, don't worry there will be a shade to strike your fancy with options of corals, reds, purples, blues and the very popular color gracing many a magazine's beauty page as the trendy shade for summer…Yellow!

A lot of well deserved hype has been given to Becca's latest Halcyon Days Collection. Tantalizing bronze, to warm corals, and blushing pinks, this collection really epitomizes the summer beauty trend for 2011.
Becca's Dancing Barefoot is one of the most popular nail lacquers in the collection so I wanted to give an extra bit of attention towards this fantastic trio of summer shades from this collection.

Nail polish is the new lipstick. I used to constantly read the beauty sections and checkout all the new makeup trends, which usually centered around the best lipsticks or glosses for the season, whether it be deep red, plum, or coral. But now when I check out the beauty sections there seems to be a much bigger emphasis on the latest nail trends.
My nail polish collection has all of a sudden outnumbered my lipsticks which has never happened before. If you think about it, nail polish is just as much of an accessory as a great pair of sunglasses or fabulous pumps. Instead of wearing a neutral polish for two weeks that will go with many outfits, I find myself changing my polish multiple times a week depending on what I'm wearing.
In saying that, never before has it been as safe to wear nail polish. More and more brands are coming out such as Deborah Lippmann that have 3-Free Formulations, meaning that they are free of unsafe chemicals such as Formaldehyde, Toulene, and DBP. Without sacrificing quality or color, these nail brands are paving the way in the nail lacquer realm.Read More »
If you like to follow the latest fashion and beauty trends to hit the catwalks of New York and Europe then might we suggest a nail polish shade that has interestingly been all the rage--green. Yes, green has occasionally been considered a "dirty" color, but according to Butter London's Creative Director Nonie Creme, "dirty" is the new rage.
The nail trends for Autumn/Winter 2011 are all about reflecting a luxe-grunge persona, and your lacquers should be reminiscent of a dirty, tarnished jewel so to speak. Instead of the bright deep red of a ruby, choose a garnet; or a dirty teal instead of a sapphire.Read More »
Butter LONDON wasn't the only nail lacquer range responsible for bringing model's nails to life at this years New York Fashion Week, we have to give props to Deborah Lippmann as well. So many designers, so little time, I don't know how these brands do it jumping from one show to the next all whilst making sure these models don't smudge their gorgeous polished fingers.
Anyways, the Deborah Lippmann range really brought it up a level with color options of reds, greiges, and deep midnight blues with sparkle accompaniment at shows such as Bill Blass, Badgley Mischka, and Donna Karen to name drop a few. While were on it, I might as well show you all the lacquers used so you can rock your own runway at home, or at least your nails!

I realize there's so much chatter about nail polish these days, and to be honest, I just can't help myself. I promise I'm not a one trick pony and only write about one facet of beauty, we're just on a roll, and right when I tell myself I'm going to blog about fashion, I end up finding these inspirational and "totally have to figure out how do this" nail art. I know you still love me.
I have got the major shakes when I attempt to pain so many of the images below would simply have to be done in the hands of a professional but there are so many products out there now that can make attaining these looks a little easier. Nail strips, or stickers, are hardly what they were ten years ago. Now they're easy to apply and actually look pretty decent. Also, brands like LAQA & Co are really making a difference because they come in the form of a pen, meaning you can paint your nail blue and then take the gold pen and draw stripes or stars over the top!
Okay mani-holics interested in seeing the lastest Deborah Lippmann nail lacquers for Fall 2011? There's some beauties in this collection as well as a fabulous trio set. With no further adieu, here are the latest and greatest shades you need to be rocking on your manicured nails.
I love a great gift set. It takes the guessing out of it, especially if you love bling nails. The "Get This Party Started" trio is all about the nightlife and discoball antics. Comes with CANDY SHOP (bubblegum pink), FORGET YOU (party all night) and top seller HAPPY BIRTHDAY (party in a bottle).

I don't know about you but I have a very difficult time painting my nails, in particularly my achilles heel, the right hand. My left hand, no problem, and looks like a professional manicurist did it. However, once we get to the point of painting my right hand, all of a sudden I get the shakes and it's all over from there. Needless to say I appreciate the little things, like the shape, width size and volume of a nail brush as this helps me keep the polish only going slightly onto the skin and not my entire finger.

Elle.com recently did a post about some of the hot nail trends for the Holiday/Winter 2011 season and some of our favorite nail lacquers made the cut! Stay on trend and be festive and fabulous by rocking some of the shades below.
1. Denim inspired navy tones. They used to be big a couple seasons ago and now they're experiencing a resurrection. Deborah Lippmann's Lady Sings The Blues offers a shimmering navy shade with tiny flecks of glitter. If you want to nix the sparkle and go for a wearable matte navy hue then take a look at Butter London's Royal Navy.
2. Muted Gold. Instead of glistening gold that can be seen from down the street, opt for more muted, brassy tones. Think antique! Deborah Lippmann's Believe is a golden beige shade that's soft hue looks great on everyone. For another great option, you can't go wrong with Butter London's Wallis. This tarnished gold was custom blended by creative director Nonie Creme for the Betsy Johnson runway show so no wonder it was a hit!Read More »
One of the most common ways to remove nail polish is with acetone, a super-strong solvent. The long-term effects of this chemical aren't clear, but the dangers associated with its use are.
To avoid potential health problems associated with acetone, many nail enthusiasts are choosing acetone-free products, such as butter LONDON nail polish remover. butter LONDON is committed to keeping its fashion-forward customers healthy and beautiful by offering better-for-you solutions.
The effects of acetone-based nail polish removers are greater in children, especially if a curious tyke ingests the slightest bit. Keep all your chemicals in a safe place.Read More »

Sparkle of the sea: Coat your toenails with the butter LONDON Blagger Spring 2011 Nail Lacquer, which is a bright cobalt blue. If you need to, add a second coat. After the polish dries, top your nails with two coats of Knackered Nail Lacquer – a bluish, sheer glitter polish. If you're painting your fingernails, use the glittery Tart with a Heart Nail Lacquer (instead of Knackered) on your fingertips.Read More »

We called it! We wrote about the new Deborah Lippmann Staccato collection back in March, and knew it was going to be making headlines.
Sure enough, in the latest issue of O Magazine, I'm Not Edible received high praise. The gritty take on classic pink polish received a 2013 Spring Makeup O-ward for "artful innovation". We couldn't agree more!

You may have come across terms like 3-Free, 4-Free, or 5-Free in the past when shopping for nail polish. But what does that mean? b-glowing.com is here to give you the 411 on what your lacquer is leaving out!
3-Free: When you see 3-Free on a nail polish, it means it is made without the use of: Toluene, Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), or Formaldehyde.
4-Free: When you see 5-Free on a nail polish, it means it is made without the use of: Toluene, Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Formaldehyde, or Camphor.
5-Free: When you see 5-Free on a nail polish, it means it is made without the use of: Toluene, Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, or Camphor.
What are these ingredients? Why are they used in the first place?
Toluene: Helps polish go on smoothly. Also found in gasoline, rubber cement, and shoe polish. Inhaling products containing toluene causes light-headedness, nausea and even unconsciousness and sometimes death. It's also linked to developmental damage for pregnant women.
Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP): Prevents your polish from chipping and cracking. Also found in adhesives, printing ink, and plastics. It's been designated a reproductive and developmental toxin.
Formaldehyde: Makes polish tough and resistant. Most commonly found in nail strengtheners, not polish. It's also directly linked to nasal sinus cancer and the development of leukemia.
Formaldehyde Resin: A less toxic version of formaldehyde, this ingredient is still considered a skin allergen that can cause dermatitis.
Camphor: Helps polish adhere to your nails. Also used as a moth repellent, used in the embalming process, and found in fireworks. While it is less hazardous than the "Toxic 3", it does cause skin irritation and is poisonous when ingested in large doses. Nail biters beware!
b-glowing.com is proud to carry a wide range of 3-Free, 4-Free, and 5-Free nail polish brands that we love. You will easily find bright, bold, beautiful colors that are long-lasting and SAFE! Here is a list, start shopping now!

As per usual, Zooey Deschanel had some of the best nails on the red carpet at this year's Golden Globes, which gave us some serious nail inspiration. We loved the femininity and simplicity of her nails, plus the added glamour of the gold, so our resident nail artist got to work on a Zooey D-style mani.
Step 1: Apply Your Base
Always start with clean, buffed nails, and apply a base coat for mani longevity, and to protect your nails. We used a sheer beige/pink base to keep the nail look natural and clean. For this we used Tenoverten's Houston. Two coats will do just fine, and don't worry about slight transparency.
Step 2: Dots
Once the base color dried for about 5 minutes, we added our gold dots for the centers of the daisies. The tip of the polish brush is quite perfect for making the small, slightly raised dots. Just a few dabs on the nail with the brush will give the desired effect. Make sure to spread them out so you have room to paint the petals of the daisies.
For this we used Lushington, new from butter LONDON's Boho Rock Collection. Zooey's manicure has bigger and fewer daises, but we opted for a smaller flower. The choice is yours! These will take longer to completely dry, but after a few minutes you can move on to your next step.
Step 3: Petals
To create the petals we used a small pointed nail brush. For those of you without these tools around, a steady hand and the tip of a bobby pin will work, too. We chose a light blue, instead of white, just to add a pop of color; we used Blue Orchid from Deborah Lippmann's spring 2014 line.
The easiest way to dip your brush into the polish is to pour a small amount onto a dish. Starting from the gold dot, lightly drag the brush with your petal polish outward. Try to keep them the same length, and don't crowd too many petals on one dot. Your brush will start to accumulate polish, so be sure to wipe the brush periodically.
Step 4: Gloss
Give your mani sufficient time to dry before applying your top coat—a good 15 minutes, just to be safe. Once dry, apply a top coat of your choice to seal the look and create a high shine. Now you, too, have sweet and sophisticated red carpet nails!
We want to see your red carpet looks! Follow us on Instagram and Facebook and tag #awardshowglow on your hair, nail, and makeup pics.Read More »
Forget 911. If you have a nail emergency, dial 999.
New from butter LONDON is Nail 999 Rescue System—a protein-powered savior for damaged or weakened nails. Complete with the Nail 999 Rescue basecoat and topcoat, the duo work to promote nail strength and growth and offer instant relief for brittle nails.
If you're just coming off of acrylics, gels, or have simply had one too many manicures and your nails now need a break, this system repairs damage and adds a beautiful shine. You'll instantly see brighter nails, and ridges will be filled in for a smoother look.
It's a great option if you never like going without polish, but your nails still need relief from too many coats. The shine prevents any dullness, and nails come to life in their natural color.

July 31, 2015
BEAUMONT, Texas (AP) A Southeast Texas school district is appealing a court ruling that allowed high school cheerleaders to display at football games banners emblazoned with Bible verses.
The Kountze district filed the appeal Tuesday. The district says it wants the 9th Texas Court of Appeals in Beaumont to clarify whether the Kountze High School cheerleaders have a free speech right to include the religious messages.
The district says state District Judge Steve Thomas ruled the banners were allowed under the U.S. Constitution but stopped short of saying the cheerleaders had a free-speech right to them.
District lawyer Tom Brandt said the cheerleaders' legal advocates "are reading into the court's decision rights that just aren't there."
The Liberty Institute is a religious rights group representing the cheerleaders. It called the appeal "unfortunate."

WASHINGTON, April 4, 2009 NATO today marked 60 years of operation by welcoming two new countries – Albania and Croatia – to the alliance during a ceremony in Strasbourg, France.
The Western allies established NATO as a defense pact against the Soviet Union on April 4, 1949, in Washington.
The United States maintains the Washington Treaty, and President Obama passed copies of the treaty to the leaders of Albania and Croatia.
"We are very excited about your participation," the president said. "We are proud to have you as Allies."
"In these past 60 years, NATO has contributed to an unprecedented period of peace, freedom and prosperity for all its citizens," said NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer. "It is testimony to what can be achieved by a transatlantic community that acts with a clear sense of common purpose."
Scheffer spoke at the beginning of the North Atlantic Council – the senior decision-making body of the alliance. Heads of state and heads of government for the now 28 member alliance sit on the council.
The 60th anniversary of the Washington Treaty was a time of reflection for the alliance, Scheffer said. "At the signing ceremony … one of the statesmen present expressed his hope that this treaty between North America and Europe would become a 'permanent creation,'" Scheffer said. "Today, we can say with considerable pride that his hopes have come true."
But the world faces many new risks, the secretary general noted, and the alliance must look to the future. In order to maintain peace and preserve security in an unstable world, the alliance must adapt. This means studying the stratgeic concepts behind the alliance and ways to speed decision making.
Scheffer praised France's decision to rejoin the integrated command structure. "That decision reinforces the community and cohesion of our alliance," he said.
The alliance will discuss the way forward in Afghanistan, where NATO commands the International Security Assistance Force. Scheffer said alliance efforts in the country will take time and require perseverence, but it is necessary as the extremists in the country pose an international threat.
Scheffer also said the leaders on the council will make important decisions on the the long-term status of the alliance. All reaffirmed the fundamental principle that an attack on one country is regarded as an attack on all. But the leaders will discuss a new strategic concept – one that maintains the strong bonds across the Atlantic.

CRESTVIEW — Their votes didn't officially count, but that didn't stop 8,114 of 9,076 voters from opining about a proposed city charter that would alter the city's governance. Of those, 4,319, or 53 percent, voted against implementing the proposed charter. Almost nine of 10 voters in the last election voted on the charter ballot question, an analysis of official election results shows.
Speaking before the city council at its Monday meeting, several residents advised city leaders to take the results seriously — even if they're nonbinding due to an administrative error. City leaders expect to revisit the issue with another referendum in March 2013, which drew criticism from some opponents.
"Are you going to bring it up every time there's an election? It appears we're flogging a dead horse now," resident Dan Taggett said.
"This is like changing horses in the middle of the stream," resident Landrum Edwards said. "We're doing a do-over. This is like kickball when we were kids; you get to do do-overs. That's what this council is doing right now."
Holding the election again was a matter of fairness because some voters, she and her husband among them, didn't vote on the charter referendum when they learned it was no longer a valid ballot issue, Councilwoman Robyn Helt said.
"The council's not getting a do-over on this item," Helt said. "We have an obligation to put it on the agenda so the citizens get a chance to say. The citizens deserve to have the opportunity to vote in a valid format."
Elections Supervisor Paul Lux's official results show 960 of the 9,076 Crestview voters who cast ballots on Nov. 6 skipped the charter question.
More than 8,000 who did vote on it should have been enough to convey citizens' opinion, Taggett and Edwards said.
"You've got an opportunity (now) that the people have spoke," Edwards said. "Everybody had an opinion on it. If you didn't vote, that is your own fault."
"It was voted on and 500 people said no," Taggett said, referring to the 524 more voters who voted against the charter than for it. "Yes, some people elected not to vote on it. If you don't vote on it, don't complain about it."
Cal Zethmayr, of WAAZ/WJSB radio, referencing data from previous Crestview charter referenda, contended that based on his research, the 8,114 people who voted on the issue were likely the highest turnout they could expect.
"I think they sent you a message," Zethmayr said. "In Crestview, 90 percent who got a ballot went all the way to the back of the ballot and they chose to send you their opinion. 524 more said no than said yes. Do you think you're going to get 8,000 voters to turn out in March? I'll buy a steak dinner for any of you who thinks they will."
Zethmayr said his research showed 72 percent of registered voters voted on the charter referendum — the highest percentage of any of the previous five Crestview charter referenda from the past 20 years.
"We had 8,100 people vote," Edwards said. "You add that up and the majority did not want the city charter to change. I don't care if it was irregular or not counted or whatever."
"This council doesn't do the citizens of Crestview any service if we don't move forward and put it to a legitimate vote," Helt said. "I think for this council to now say, 'Well, we just won't go forward with it just because some people are in opposition to it,' we would be doing the citizens a disservice if we didn't put it to a vote … The citizens have the say. I respect their say. If the citizens don't wish to have a charter revision, that is fine."
Weeks before the Nov. 6 election, City Clerk Betsy Roy discovered a clerical error. A city council meeting to consider placing the charter on the ballot had been advertised for March 26, 2012, but was actually held April 9, she found. Rather than subject the charter to a potential legal challenge if it had passed, the council reluctantly agreed to rescind the ordinance that placed the issue on the ballot.
However, the action was too late to remove the referendum from ballots, which had been printed.

In Access 2010 Power Shortcuts, Access expert Alicia Katz Pollock shares hundreds of tips and shortcuts to vastly increase efficiency and get the full power out of Access 2010. The course includes tips for working with the Ribbon and Quick Access toolbar, managing files, customizing and automating Access, rapid data entry and editing, working with tables, queries, forms, and reports, managing your database, and much more. Exercise files accompany the course.
When you print out a report or a form, sometimes you want to design them, so that each section begins on a new page. For example, I'll scroll down to my Reports and open up my Sales Reps and Customers Report. When I go up to the View button and look at it and Print Preview, it shows all of my Sales Reps on one page, but I'd like to change it, so that each Sales Reps is printed on their own page. To do this close the Print Preview and change the view to Design View, note that this technique doesn't actually work in Layout View.
Find the section header where you want each page to start. In our case it's the Employee ID Header, before each change in Employee ID we'll tell it to perform a Page Break. Go over to your Property Sheet, if it's not open, click the button right here or press F4. Go to the Format tab and down at the bottom you'll see Force New Page, change that to Before Section. Now go back to the Report View, nothing looks different here, but when I change it to Print Preview, now I can see all of Jordan Hinton's data on one page, I want to go to the next page, there's Lilah Douglas and so on.
Now this works very similarly when you do forms, I'll open up my Customers Order Form. Now for Forms there is no Print Preview off of the View button, because forms are designed to be viewed on screen, but there are times when you want to print them. So I'll go up to the File menu, down to Print and across to Print Preview, when I print out this form I can see here's one customer and their orders, here is the next customer but their orders are on the next page, they are orphaned. So this isn't going to work at all. I'll close my Print Preview and let's go look at this form in Design View, click on the Detail Header, and this time let me force the new page, instead of Before the Section we're going to force that After the Section, so that after each of these detailed areas then it automatically goes to the new page.
Take a look at it in Print Preview again and now each customer is on their own page, using Force New Page in your reports and forms is very simple, but not if you don't know where to look for it.

Introducing My Carpatho-Rusyn FAN Club ~ Gydik and Kostun
Those relationships that were established in the United States likely resulted from friendships through their work at the Endicott-Johnson shoe factory, residence in Binghamton's immigrant First Ward, or membership in St. Michael's Greek Catholic Church.
The first photo in the album is this picture. On the back is written "Sue Sedor Gydik/ John Kostun" in my aunt's handwriting.
Susie Gydik (also spelled Guydik or Guydick) was the daughter of William and Mary Sedor (also spelled Sidor). She was born about 1898 in Starina (near Prislup) and came to the United States with her mother in 1903. She was a close friend of Anna Pereksta's and probably a cousin. Her father is believed to have been Anna's first cousin. She married Frank Gydik.
John Kostun is not a name I have heard before. Two adult John Kostuns appear in the 1930 census index on Ancestry.com. Both were born in Czechoslovakia - one in 1895 with a wife Mary and one in 1899 with a wife Anna. Both lived in the First Ward, worked at a shoe factory and were identified as Carpatho-Russian or Ruthenian. This man could be either of them, however the man born in 1895 has boarders in the household named Kost and Bundza. These are both names associated with the Pereksta family in Europe.
I would be delighted to share high resolution scans of these images and source information with anyone researching these families. Please leave a comment or email me (there is a link in the righthand column).

What a nice project. Congrats.ReplyDelete
Susan, I've been trying the FAN approach in my own research lately, and while it hasn't yielded any hits for me, it has led me down some fascinating bunny trails :)ReplyDelete
I just headed over to your post because I saw you just mentioned it on Twitter. I wonder, if you retweet with your request at the bottom of your post if it would help get the word out about your search further.
Hope your search soon turns into Mission Successful!
Interesting find! My husband's family is Kostun in Michigan - we know of a group of Kostuns in New York/New England, but ours is a very small family without much record. It would be interesting to see if there is a connections! Coincidentally, my father-in-law is a John Kostun.ReplyDelete
Comments related to the information shared here are most appreciated. All comments are moderated, and since I am not actively researching right now it many take a day or two for your comment to post. Please know that it will post, and that I much appreciate the feedback.

Defenders of open government in Tennessee won an important victory on Capitol Hill this week. State House Speaker Beth Harwell, R-Nashville, said Tuesday she will see that a bill to allow local governments to meet secret does not get a hearing in committee this year. She was joined in opposition to the bill by Gov. Bill Haslam and key leaders of the state General Assembly.
The dubious legislation, which would have allowed governmental bodies to meet without public notice as long as they didn't have a quorum, was also opposed by this and other newspapers across the state, as well as the Tennessee Press Association and the Tennessee Coalition for Open Government.
Proponents of the effort to water down Tennessee's Sunshine Law say the act is too confusing. On the contrary, the 37-year-old law plainly states: "The General Assembly hereby declares it to be the policy of this state that the formation of public policy and decisions is public business and shall not be conducted in secret."
The law has been a simple and direct tool for open government in Tennessee. It should never be changed to allow governmental officials to threaten that transparency.

Black Country paintings at romantic ruins exhibition
Posted: May 18, 2014|
A COLLECTION of paintings of romantic ruins, including six never seen before have gone on display at Dudley Museum and Art Gallery.
The exhibition, comprising 51 works, showcases some of the gems of the Dudley Museum collection but was originally going to only feature pictures of picturesque ruined scenes. But, as the exhibition came together, it grew to encompass other scenic buildings and structures, including some which are no longer standing at all.
In the late 18th century the cult of the picturesque began to develop with artists looking for the everyday beauty in nature and in some cases exaggerating it for effect. Some of the pieces in the exhibition, such as Priory Hall by H.R. Dickinson or F.H. Henshaw'sView of Dudley from Wrens Nest have been beautified so much that they have changed significantly from the original scene.
The picturesque developed to take in the beauty of man-made structures, including complete buildings, bridges and statues as well as ruined castles and stately homes. Amos Green was one of the first artists to make this crossover and his watercolour sketch Castles in a Landscape features in the exhibition.
There are many pictures of Dudley Castle as well as paintings of Witley Court before it became a ruin and Russell's Hall before it was demolished. Other West Midlands scenes include Dudley Priory, Halesowen Abbey and Ludlow Castle.
There are pictures of foreign scenes too, including St Lo, Angers Castle and Limoges in France, Rudesheim and Heidelberg in Germany, Cordoba in Spain and Venice in Italy.
Dudley Museum and Art Gallery is in St James' Road, Dudley, and is open from 10am to 4pm, Monday to Saturday, with admission free.

Oh hi.
I didn't see you there. Probably because I haven't been on my computer for eight weeks.
Today is my first day back to work and I have the feels. The past eight weeks has been a whirlwind. It's like…the days went so fast, it seems like I've had two children my whole life, but in reality, it's only been eight weeks. It takes longer than eight weeks to receive an order from an "as Seen On TV" commercial.
I thought I"d pour some of this nervous energy into writing down some thoughts about my daughter's first two months on this earth — not because I'm all about this mommy blog thing, but because if I don't write it down, I'm terrified of forgetting it. Maybe someday she'll see this and get a kick out of reading about the day she was born and the time we spent together on the couch watching Netflix and snuggling.
Savannah Grace was born on February 28, 2014 at 9:39 in the morning. It was a quick delivery. I checked into Labor & Delivery at 9:11, and I know this because it was only a few minutes after I texted my friend Lindsey that I was at the hospital. Thank goodness for texting, right?
The night before SG was born, I pampered myself. I had an Influenster box with a face mask, tea and Hershey kisses. I had a feeling it would be soon, as my due date was only a few days away. I had felt crampy and sore all day, but nothing that made me think I was in labor.
We went to bed at a normal time. Kelsey woke me up at 2 am because I was snoring, and I decided to go to the couch so we could both sleep. On the couch, I had what I believed to be gas pains.
"Woah, Amanda," I said to myself. "What did you eat that gave you so much gas?" I took a Gas-X. I sat on the toilet. I tossed and turned on the couch in pain.
"This is probably kind of like labor," I said to myself. KIND OF LIKE LABOR.
My alarm went off and I went to the bathroom to get ready.
"I have the worst gas and I've had it all night," I said to my husband.
"I think you're in labor," he replied.
"No, it would be worse if it was labor. This is definitely gas. Must have been the 20 Hersey kisses I ate last night."
The pains continued while I applied my makeup AND GOT READY FOR WORK. I joked earlier in the week that my coworkers could roll me down the elevator to L&D if I was in labor at work, and that totally almost happened.
I finally came to my senses and began to time the gas pains (GAS PAINS!?) and they were about five minutes apart. Either the worlds most regular gas pains, or they were contractions.
I called Kelsey. "You should come home. These are contractions."
I'm saying here publicly that my husband was right. Mark it on your calendars; You might not see this again anytime soon.
MEANWHILE AT HOME, Luke woke up and was all, "Mom! Help me pee!" So I'm sitting there listening to him chit chat about his pee while I sat on the stool in labor. Are you impressed yet? It gets better.
Kelsey called my mom and dad to come get Luke and tae him to daycare. I began to get Luke dressed until Kelsey came in, and then he told me to relax. I had a flashback to my first delivery, during which I wasn't able to eat for more than 20 hours. So naturally, I poured a bowl of cereal.
My mom and dad walked in to me talking to Luke about life and eating Chex.
Kelsey and I got in the car, and by this time the contractions were much closer. He was eating oatmeal and clinking the spoon against his bowl and I wanted to murder him. Lights turned red and I wanted to punch them in the face. This one car in front of us made a very slow right hand turn and I screamed at the driver.
We pulled up in the valet lane at the hospital and I asked for a wheelchair and they gave me a lawn chair on wheels, but why did I care? I was having a poop baby.
They rolled me into L&D triage and this nurse was like, "Fill out this paperwork." and I said "NO I WILL NOT PLEASE GET THIS BABY OUT OF MY BODY." But then I signed some stuff and they put me in a triage room. It was 9:11.
A very nice nurse asked me how I was feeling and I told her I was fine, except for the terrible gas pains and could she please get me to the restroom so I can poop. JUST KIDDING. I told her the contractions were getting worse and to please let's speed this up. It was 9:15.
The resident came in to check me. She said "You're at about a 9 right now." It was 9:18 and 10 seconds.
My water broke. It was 9:18 and 50 seconds.
Things started getting hectic. I started crying and apologizing for thinking I had bad gas. The first nurse was still moving along like we all the time in the world; The resident checked me again and said, welp, you're at a 10 plus 1 so let's get to getting. It as 9:20.
Several nurses and doctors and who knows who else surrounded me and many things happened at once. They were trying to get me into a gown, find a room, move me to a room, find the attending doctor and keep me from freaking out all at once. As we moved down the hall, I heard someone say, "THERE ARE NO ROOMS RIGHT NOW." And at the first time all morning, I seriously thought I would have my baby just randomly.
"Don't push yet, Amanda. Don't push until we have a room. We're getting it ready now," a nurse said.
It's like when you are in a quiet place and get a giggle fit and someone says, "don't laugh!" You just want to laugh. Same difference — I just wanted to push so, so bad. It was 9:22.
I had one arm out of my shirt and my legs in the stirrups when my doctor came in. She was my regular OB and just happened to be working that morning. I was still carrying on about waiting too long to get to the hospital and she said, "Amanda! Focus. Here's what I need you to do." It was 9:25.
I pushed. I rested. I pushed. I rested. I pushed, I pushed, I pushed.
I heard a cry and leaned up slightly to see my precious girl's face for the first time. It was 9:39.
There is no moment quite like seeing your child's face for the first time after you give birth. You're in the midst of so much excitement, pain, drama, and then suddenly it's over and the little person you've waited so long to see — that sweet little stranger — is in your arms.
Then stuff happened, like my placenta being stuck and two doctors literally having to pull it out. There was morphine involved. Afterword, my doctor told Kelsey I had an incredibly high pain tolerance like she'd never seen and he wasn't allowed to complain about anything again.
After that drama was over, I was hungry (naturally.) I asked if I could get some food. They brought me a hot dog and some sad, cold french fries. Rude.
My maternity leave was blissful. It was a 180 from last time. I was a dumb first time mom last time, or maybe it was because her cry wasn't so shrill. Maybe it was because she was a better nurser. Maybe it was because I could dress her in bows and watch princess movies. Maybe it was because mom and dad were here to help. Maybe it was Netflix.
So that's the story. There are more stories and I will be sharing them soon. But for now: coffee.

HANOVER TOWNSHIP — Before you hit the polls this November, Make sure you have a valid ID. Starting today, some voters throughout the state can to get a free voter ID card through PennDot.
Here's what Pennsylvania's new voter ID law means for you.
This looks and feels like a driver's license, but actually it's a voter ID card, issued by Pennsylvania's Department of State.
You'll need a card like this if you want to vote this November but don't have a valid photo ID.
Eleanor Emershaw, of Wyoming, came to the PennDot Photo Driver's License Center near Wilkes-Barre to get a voter ID card because she lost her license.
"I had to give it up because i was in a little accident," said Emershaw.
To get a voter ID card, go to a driver's license center and take along two proofs of residence, such as bills that show your address. You may also have to fill out a few forms, explaining that you don't have a valid photo ID.
The voter ID is good for 10 years, but it's just for voting.
Another card you can get is the Secure Pennsylvania Photo ID. To get one of these, you'll need two proofs of residence, plus a social security card and a birth certificate or passport. The Pennsylvania Photo ID iss good for four years and can be used for travel and banking, as well as for voting.
"It's worth it to me to be able to use it to vote and to use it to cash checks and at department stores," said Rebecca Sparlow, of Kingston.
Rebecca Sparlow of Kingston had to pay a fee of $13.50 for her Pennsylvania Photo ID. That's because her driver's license recently expired and could still be used as a valid photo ID for voting.
Other than the forms, PENNDOT officials say the process to get your voter ID is similar to getting your driver's license.
But Eleanor Emershaw says she wishes she didn't have to do it.
"I've been born in America. I've been an American citizen for 95 years and I think it's a shame that I have to come up here for an ID when I did drive," said Emershaw.
The key to whether you have to pay for one of these ID cards is a valid form of photo ID. If you have one, you'll have to pay $13.50. If you don't, you'll have to fill out some forms, and the ID card will be free.
Either way, you'll be set to vote in November.

Why Players Mark With Tees, and Why Australian Officials Should Know This
If you haven't heard, there was another rules dispute down in Australia this weekend. It involved some popular names on the LPGA, and, to be quite frank, was really idiotic by the Golf Australia officials.
I'll set up the situation for you. Karrie Webb marked her ball with a golf tee during her Saturday round, and after, was accused of cheating by officials. That is, well, very wrong.
You see, professional golfers don't normally use a tee to mark their balls when you're watching it on television, but when they have lengthy putts of 40 or 50 feet (or longer), they'll sometimes put a tee behind the mark so they can see where the ball is when they go to read the putt from the other side of the hole. It makes sense, obviously. Sometimes you can't see a marker when you're that far away, or if there is undulation or what not to harbor your view.
Australian officials didn't really get this, and it took playing partner Christina Kim to help Webb out of that mess.
''I think it was really badly handled, actually,'' Webb said. ''They didn't check at first. They told me I'd breached a rule but they couldn't tell me which rule I'd breached. Then, after I came in and finished my playing partner's scorecard, they asked me why I do it. That's why it was handled poorly. I was trying to get what ruling I could have breached. They couldn't tell me what ruling because it wasn't in the decisions book and it wasn't in the Rules of Golf.
''They said they called the R&A [The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews], and then I asked [playing partner] Christina Kim how many people on the LPGA put a tee behind the ball, and she said: 'About 70 per cent.' That was the end the issue. I don't know why Christina Kim's word was taken more than mine.''
So, yes, everyone, tees are used by pros. No, it isn't because they don't have a coin in their pockets (or on their hat, if you're talking about the LPGA) like your weekend hacker, it's because they are using it as a helpful tool to help them score the best possible.
The fact that nobody Down Under got that is rather embarrassing.

The note to rule 20-1 says: "The position of a ball to be lifted should be marked by placing a ball-marker, a small coin or other similar object immediately behind the ball."
The usage of "should" rather than "shall" probably gives enough leeway to use a tee instead, but it's unsurprising that this be (temporarily) challenged by an official in a place where everyone follows the normal procedure.
It is more surprising (but not really) that these players don't know how they are supposed to mark the ball in the first place.
I note that I've never seen a male pro mark the ball with a tee - regardless of how much "sense" it may make.

Upon reading Decision 20-1/16 of the USGA Rules it is obvious that no Rule was broken.
20-1/16 Method Used to Mark Position of Ball
Q. The Note to Rule 20-1 provides that "the position of a ball to be lifted should be marked by placing a ball-marker, a small coin or other similar object immediately behind the ball." Is a player penalized if he uses an object that is not similar to a ball-marker or small coin to mark the position of his ball?
A. No. The provision in the Note to Rule 20-1 is a recommendation of best practice, but there is no penalty for failing to act in accordance with the Note.
Examples of methods of marking the position of a ball that are not recommended, but are permissible, are as follows:
• placing the toe of a club at the side of, or behind, the ball;
• using a tee;
• using a loose impediment;
• scratching a line, provided the putting green is not tested (Rule 16-1d) and a line for putting is not indicated (Rule 8-2b). As this practice may cause damage to the putting green, it is discouraged.
However, under Rule 20-1 it is necessary to physically mark the position of the ball. Reference to an existing mark on the ground does not constitute marking the position of a ball. For example, it is not permissible to mark the position with reference to a blemish on the putting green.
When moving a ball or ball-marker to the side to prevent it from interfering with another player's stance or stroke, the player may measure from the side of the ball or ball-marker. In order to accurately replace the ball on the spot from which it was lifted, the steps used to move the ball or ball-marker to the side should be reversed. (Revised)
Unless the LPGA operates by it's own set of Rules, the official who called this a violation should get some further education regarding the Rules as well as issue a public apology to Ms. Webb!

"they'll sometimes put a tee behind the mark so they can see where the ball is when they go to read the putt from the other side of the hole."
The way I'm reading this, Karrie marked her ball the conventional way, with a coin or similar object, then placed a tee adjacent to the 'coin' so she could see its location when she was crouched down 40-50 feet away from the marker. I don't believe she used only a tee, did she?

Light Rain
Wind: 8 mph
July 1, 1947 – April 12, 2012
It is with great sorrow I announce the passing of my wife and best friend Donna Downes from small-cell neuro-endocrine cancer, an extremely rare and potent disease. She outlived dire predictions by almost a full year.
Donna was an artist, art director/creative director, writer, designer and a vast creative source of ideas. She championed cobblestone streets and historic preservation. She was a full and involved witness to the World Trade Center attack – among the very few who viewed both plane attacks from her kindergarten daughter's school. She was a community activist and longtime resident of TriBeCa, as well as the official class parent during most of her daughter's education.
She was an expert downhill skier, a season passholder at Mad River Glen for many years, with a home and properties in Warren (North Lynx) and Fayston, Vermont, a seven-time NYC marathoner finishing in the top 15 percent of her age group each time she ran. She was an honors graduate of George Washington University who spoke flawless French and fluent Spanish. She had four books in progress and near finish: a trilogy of current popular culture adventures and a true-crime fiction novel.
Other accomplishments included being an expert sailor and helmsperson for over 40 years. A member of the Glen Cove Yacht Club, she sailed with her family in 2007/2008 from NYC in the dead of winter to the Bahamas and the base of the Exuma island chain and back to NY.
Her family roots were in Maryland and Virginia, being the oldest of seven children. She continued a loving relationship with sisters and brothers throughout her life
She leaves behind her brothers Kenneth and David, and sisters Denise, Susie and Doris, her husband David Zaus, a high-school-age daughter Margaux, a stepson Zachary Zaus of Brooklyn, and a stepdaughter Kimberly Kinkaid of Houston, Texas, as well as her mother, Doris Downes of Scottsdale, Arizona.
Please feel free to make contributions to the American Cancer Society in her honor.

Blue Devils, Wolfpack battle for early ACC lead
For a change this season, a top ACC game between two ranked teams does not involve Duke and North Carolina.
Duke is part of it, with the Blue Devils owning a perfect record and the nation's No. 1 ranking.
But those things will be on the line today at Raleigh's PNC Arena when Duke battles No. 20-ranked N.C. State (noon, ESPN).
Duke (15-0, 2-0 ACC) and N.C. State (13-2, 2-0) are the only ACC teams currently ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 poll. While Duke has beaten other ranked teams (Minnesota, Louisville, Ohio State) along the way, this will be the first true road game for the Blue Devils against a Top 25 opponent.
N.C. State has won nine games in a row since losing 79-72 on Nov. 27 at No. 2 Michigan. The Wolverines join Duke as the only unbeaten teams left in the country in men's basketball.
Duke will play its first game since senior forward Ryan Kelly, the ACC's reigning player of the week award winner, was sidelined indefinitely with an injured right foot.

It is a sad fact - but a fact nonetheless that Blacks are totally incapable of living in, contributing in a positive manner to, or even benefiting in the long run in White society. They are used as tools here in the US, Scandinavia and Europe by communist agitators and race baiters to cause the downfall of White civilization. The vast majority of them have zero concern for the environment (how many do you see involved in Sierra club, Greenpeace, etc?), civilized behavior (self evident anywhere you see them), or anything that does not enable them instant gratification or result in a handout. They believe they are entitled to everything, yet responsible for nothing. The few that "make it", be it in sports (MAJORITY of rich blacks), talk shows, or rap "artists" don't "give back" and help end world hunger, clean up the communities they came from, or encourage other young blacks (and definitely not whites) to "stay in school", "listen to your teacher", "don't act like an idiot" etc., but greedily spend it all on themselves and their accumulation of "shiny things" (gold necklaces, teeth, fancy rims) - you get the picture. It was a sad day indeed when the first black set foot on whatever dock or beach from the slave ships . It is apparent that the majority of them have no desire to behave like advanced humans in polite "society" and should be repatriated at the earliest possible time to their own country - preferably in Africa where they can live like they are suited to until they as a race evolve...
More ULSD and Kero to export to foreign countries, and keep prices up in U.S. by not making as much gasoline. Look where the majority of refiners are sending their finished product, they want to increase production not because we need more distillants in the U.S. but they can make more money shipping to Europe and other countries. Check it out for yourselves.
How does the reporter know it was an AK47, it could have been an SKS or other firearm. Just report a 7.62x39mm like you did the .45 and 9mm. Why do you reporters want to sensationalize it by saying its an AK47 when you really don't know that for a fact. Report the facts not speculation.
Where I used to work, the head of our HR not only was a Lesbian, but before she got on at the plant, she was a school teacher. She got caught with inappropriate behavior with a juvenile, and she was allowed to resign, that was years ago, after that job she got another teaching job in SCP and again got caught and was fired and could never teach again, since she had a degree she wound up head of HR. No formal charges were ever filed so she was able to work at our plant. She hated men and did everything to make my life miserable because I knew her past. As for as him being framed, it is possible, but not likely. Years ago when we had Windows 3.1 at work, I loaded porn, and the cookies to go with them one night on his computer. He was always badmouthing us operators, he worked in HR, and when they found it they fired him. I don't regret getting him fired because he was a dick.

Clearing up the confusion over 'local' food in Maryland
No longer can unscrupulous farmers market their veggies in Maryland as "from your backyard" if they are not indeed from a backyard in Maryland.
Eager to capitalize on the popularity of the local food movement, some food retailers have been a bit creative with their definition of the word "local." Much like the word "natural" on food labeling, "local" is not regulated, leaving vendors to slap the word on apples from three states away.
Complaints from Maryland consumers and farmers led the state legislature to pass a bill requiring businesses that advertise raw meat, eggs, fish, produce, and dairy products as local to have signage indicating where it comes from. The Maryland Dept. of Agriculture says the measure is set to go into effect June 27.
Any of these products claiming to be local, locally grown, regionally grown, or otherwise implying a nearby place of origin (including "from your backyard!") must be accompanied by legible signage stating which state the product is from. Businesses under the law include grocery stores, farmers markets, farm-stands, and restaurants.
Mark Powell of the department's marketing division says retailers initially resisted the legislation but in the end got on board. There was debate over how to define "local," with some advocating Maryland-only products getting the label and others suggesting the product had to be from a 150-mile radius from the place of sale. In the end, the department decided to simply label the state of origin and let customers decide if it was local enough for them.
Enforcement of the new regulations could be tricky, as they'll rely on consumers to ferret out violations and report them to the department.
