Given the lack of evidence in support of pacing self-management for patients with musltiple sclerosis (MS), it is examined whether physical behavior and health status of patients with MS improve in response to a pacing self-management program. The effects of pacing will be compared with those observed when applying relaxation therapy to patients with MS.

|Pacing Activity Self-management for Patients With Multiple Sclerosis: Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
- the change in scores obtained from the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) [ Time Frame: measured at baseline (week 1) and post-treatment (week 5) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Semi-structered interview.
- the change in subscale scores on the Medical Outcomes Short Form 37 Health Status Survey (SF-36) [ Time Frame: measured once at baseline and once post-treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The SF-36 assesses functional status and well-being or quality of life. The SF-36 has been documented to have reliability and validity in a wide variety of patient populations.
- the change in subscale scores on the Checklist Individual Strength (CIS) [ Time Frame: measured once at baseline and once post-treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The CIS aims at assessing the subjective fatigue experience, concentration difficulties, motivation and physical activity. Higher scores on the CIS correspond to severe fatigue, many concentration difficulties, problems with motivation and a low level of physical activity. Its psychometric properties are well established.
- the change in autonomic activity at rest and following 3 activities of daily living [ Time Frame: measured once at baseline and once post-treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The 3 activities of daily living entail writing a standardized test on a laptop computer, ironing, and climbing 26 flights of stairs. For measuring autonomic activity, the Nexus 10 device (Mind Media, the Netherlands) will be used. Skin conductance, body temperature, heart rate, blood volume pressure and heart rate variability will be measured continuously in real time during a 2 minutes period, with the patient sitting on a chair (back supported and hands resting on legs). Electrodes will be placed on the left hand in all patients.

|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: pacing
The pacing self-management program (3 one-on-one sessions weekly for 3 consecutive weeks) focused on teaching the patient to estimate their current physical capabilities prior to commencing an activity. In order to appropriately pace activities (daily activities and exercise bouts), MS patients were learned to estimate their current physical capabilities prior to commencing an activity, keeping in mind the regular fluctuating nature of their symptoms. The activity duration used within the program was less than that reported by the patient so to account for typical overestimations made by the patient. Each activity block was interspersed with breaks, with the length of this break equating to the duration of the activity.
Behavioral: pacing

BOWMAN, JESSE (1785–1836). Jesse Bowman, Alamo defender, was born in Tennessee in 1785. By 1811 he was in Illinois, where he made his living as a trapper and hunter. His son Joseph was born in Illinois. Bowman, his wife, and three children became the first known settlers of Camden, Ouachita County, Arkansas, in 1824. Four years later they moved to Hempstead, Arkansas. In the 1830s Bowman, his son, and his brother and nephews immigrated to Texas and received land in Red River County. Bowman and his son served in the Texas army during the Texas Revolution. As a member of the Alamo garrison, Bowman died in the battle of the Alamo on March 6, 1836.

Milliarium Aureum
|Miliarium Aureum
|Regione VIII Forum Romanum
|Built in
|Inauguration 20 BC
|Built by/for
|Emperor Augustus
|Type of structure
|Milestone with gilded bronze finishing
|This article covers the Ancient Roman Forum of the Republican and Imperial periods
The Miliarium Aureum (Classical Latin: [miːllɪˈaːrɪʊm ˈawrɛʊm], golden milestone) was a monument, probably of gilded bronze, erected by the Emperor Caesar Augustus near the temple of Saturn in the central Forum of Ancient Rome. All roads were considered to begin from this monument and all distances in the Roman Empire were measured relative to that point.[1] On it were perhaps listed all the major cities in the empire and distances to them.[2] According to Schaaf,[3] the phrase "all roads lead to Rome"[4] is a reference to the Milliarium Aureum, as the specific point to which all roads were said to lead. Today, the base of the milestone might still exist in the Roman Forum.

Augustus, as curator viarum, erected this monument in 20 BC.[5] Probably the monument received its name of Miliarium Aureum quite immediately after its inauguration. It symbolized the starting point of the Roman road system to Italy and to all the imperial possessions.
Architecture and Style[edit]
Plan Missing in the Forma Urbis[edit]
The plan of this monument is missing in the Imperial Forma Urbis as we have it now. The remaining fragments for this area of the Roman Forum are all in the so-called slab V-11, Stanford University #19 (Temple of Saturn with the frontal section and staircase, but the Rostra section is missing, Temple of Concordia, Temple of the Deified Vespasian).
Location, General Style and Structure[edit]
Information from ancient authors are very scarce, so there are many problems of interpretation about this monument.
It is sure that it was hard by [or under] the Temple of Saturn at the head of the Roman Forum, but its exact location is still uncertain and unknown. Due to the new archaeological data from the excavations by Kähler in 1959 which seem to confirm the data from the excavations by Bunsen in 1833, now many scholars think that it was located at the southeast corner of the podium of the Rostra Augusti on a symmetrical axis with the Umbilicus Urbis Romae.[6][7]
General Style and Structure[edit]
The Miliarium Aureum seems to have been a marble column sheathed in gilded bronze: according to C. Hülsen, in 1835 a huge marble cylinder was found near the Temple of Saturn and it still had bronze hooks. The whole monument probably had the form of a Roman milestone. Other scholars think that the Miliarium Aureum was made entirely of gilded bronze.[7] According to other scholars, the monument only had gilded bronze letters.[8]
Height: 145 in or 345 cm .
Diameter: 1.15 m (the column only); 3 m (the base [?], i.e. the carved Marble fragments labelled as Miliarium Aureum in the Roman Forum).
The problem of the Inscription[edit]
The ancient sources never directly say what was inscribed on the Miliarium Aureum, so every idea one may have about this problem must be considered a modern inference based on the typical and usual form, structure and function of Roman milestones.
These are the main hypotheses about the inscription:
- Nothing, except for the name and title of the Emperor;
- The names of the most important cities of Italy and of the Empire in 20 BC with the distances of these from Rome:[9] according to a vague sentence by Pliny the Elder (Naturalis Historia, 3.66), the distances in Roman miles were measured (thus with a difference of ca. 1 mile) starting from the City gates and not from the location of the Milliarium: Via Appia from Porta Capena (to Brundisium, Greece and the Oriental Provinces), Via Salaria and Via Nomentana from Porta Collina and Via Flaminia (to Northern Italy, Raetia, Noricum, Pannonia and Illyricum), Via Aurelia (to the Galliae and Hispaniae), Via Ostiensis (to Ostia and to the main harbour to Corsica and Sardinia, Sicilia and Africa);
- The names of the roads out of Rome and the men of praetorian rank Augustus had made Curatores Viarum to see to the upkeep of them,[10] based on Dio Cassius' account of the erection of the Monument.
The problem of the Marble fragments labelled Milliarium Aureum[edit]
The ca. 3 m diameter Marble fragments labelled Milliarium Aureum with an anthemion frieze decoration have been considered part of the base of the monument for a long time. However there's no direct evidence for this to be true, considering as well that the diameter of this base seems to be too large for a Milliarium. Scholars[7] now prefer to consider the fragments a section of the upper part of the Umbilicus Urbis Romae which had a 5.1 m diameter basis and 3 m diameter upper elements.
According to Richardson, the ruins labelled 'Milliarium Aureum' can be considered pertinent only if the column of the monument was of a colossal scale, of almost 3 m diameter and not 1.15 m:
Still less credible is that the carved stone members labelled Milliarium Aureum at the northwest end of the Forum Romanum today actually belonged to the base of that monument. The frieze decorated with an anthemion belongs relatively high on a building, and both elements are of a diameter equal to that of the Umbilicus Romae, too large for a milestone, unless it were of colossal scale.[11]
This way, the fragments of the so-called Milliarium Aureum are now believed by some to be identical with the Umbilicus Urbis Romae (or Navel of the city of Rome), a structure in the same area of the Forum which served a similar but not identical purpose.

A Jefferson County grand jury has cleared a traveling nurse of allegations that she dispensed medications at Samaritan Medical Center without proper documentation or authorization.
The jury Thursday returned a no-bill in the case of Dawn R. Harrison, 46, Dolgeville, determining that there was insufficient evidence to support a count of first-degree falsifying business records and a second allegation brought under state Public Health Law that she improperly dispensed narcotics.
Ms. Harrison was one of three traveling emergency room nurses accused of similar activities in June. While a fourth nurse, a Samaritan employee, also was implicated, Samaritan officials said the four did not act in concert. Officials said at the time of the arrests that an auditing system had shown that the nurses were falsifying records to cover up the theft of narcotics. Hospital staff became suspicious of Ms. Harrison when it allegedly was found that the caps of three prescription medicine vials had been removed and then glued back on during her shifts, indicating that medications had been improperly dispensed from the vials.
However, Ms. Harrisons attorney, Aaron D. Carr, Watertown, said that he never saw any evidence that Ms. Harrison diverted any narcotics and that the records he was provided also did not support the allegations.
Its been her position that any sort of errors that they attributed to her were normal errors that could have occurred to any other nurse in an emergency room setting, he said.
Mr. Carr said Ms. Harrison has been a registered nurse for 14 years and a traveling nurse for eight years with no prior accusations of diverting or using narcotics. He said the charges brought against her in Watertown have left her unable to find employment as a nurse.
Her life has been pretty much devastated by her arrest, Mr. Carr said. Basically, I think that she feels, and I agree, that her name was improperly slandered as a result of this.
Charges against the other two traveling nurses and the Samaritan employee remain pending. Traveling nurses work under contract to help ease nursing shortages. To be hired, they go through duplicate interview processes, background checks and drug tests with both a nursing agency that places them and the hospital where they work.

Coping with grief at the holidays is difficult but possible, Abilene hospice worker says
Loss of loved one may mean some customs must go
Loss of loved one may mean some customs must go
By Brian Bethel
email@example.com 325-676-6739
The holidays often are packed with well-intentioned plans, but when dealing with the loss of a loved one on top of the usual rush, the period can become overwhelming.
"Grieving is very stressful on the body, and the holidays are stressful anyway," said Judy Osborne, bereavement coordinator and a licensed social worker with Hendrick Hospice Care.
You can get through such tough times and even have a little fun while doing it, Osborne said.
"Laughter and joy aren't disrespectful," Osborne said, noting that such serve to give a person relief from "the burden of grief."
But those grieving at the holidays should realistically prepare for their share of "ups and downs and roller coasters," she said. Those can be tempered through a few simple guidelines.
First, remember that it's OK to talk about your grief.
"Don't be afraid to express your feelings," Osborne said. "If you ignore your grief, it won't make the pain go away. But talking about it openly often makes you feel better — it gives you a relief and a release."
Consider, even, finding what Osborne termed a "grief buddy," someone who is willing to regularly listen and help.
That can be a best friend, a neighbor, a minister, counselor, a family member, or even members of a grief group.
But remember, Osborne said, direct family members sometimes can be difficult to approach, especially if they are grieving themselves.
Often, one can't avoid that someone special isn't there to share in the holiday cheer.
That may mean "you don't feel like joining in the festivities," she said, and again, that's OK.
Respect what your body and mind are telling you and realize that, especially for the first few holidays after the loss of a loved one, you may need to lower your expectations or may want to do away with some traditions.
"You also can start some new traditions honoring that loved one," Osborne said.
The goal, no matter what you choose, is the same — eliminating unnecessary stress, she said.
Be sure to set realistic boundaries, and be aware of your physical and psychological limits.
Ideally, you should make plans well ahead of time.
For some people, taking a trip may be preferable to revisiting what might be painful scenes or traditions, while others may want to share work that they exclusively shouldered in the past.
"Maybe you were the one who cooked, maybe everyone came to your house," she said. "You may not be able or want to do that this year."
Get enough rest, and remember that sometimes people try to stay busy as a distraction.
That isn't necessarily the most helpful response, Osborne said.
"Actually, that increases the stress, I think, and you just postpone the need to talk about it and deal with feelings of grief," she said.
Everyone grieves differently, but surrounding oneself with good, supportive people is never a wrong decision, she said.
That said, how much you talk to others about the person who has died is up to you.
Some people may want to have a special item such as a candle, stocking or even an special, empty chair to represent the person they have lost.
Consider giving friends and family members a chance to write down a thought about the lost loved one, which can be shared later as another way to honor their memory.
No matter what, don't let well-meaning friends and family prescribe what you should do, Osborne said.
If you are the friend of a person who has lost someone special, be supportive and "listen, listen, listen," while keeping the information shared confidential, she said.
"Hugs are wonderful, as is just being there and supportive of that person," Osborne said.
You "don't have to give advice," she said.
But if you do, keep in mind that what may have worked for you in a similar situation may not work for others, since everyone grieves differently.
"They may be at a different stage or have had a totally different relationship or circumstances than, for example, you and your spouse," Osborne said.
Let the person who is hurting guide you, she said.
"You just have to go along with where they're at that moment," Osborne said.

Catoosa County public schools will be closed Monday and Tuesday, Jan. 6 and 7, due to extreme weather conditions. After consulting with local weather specialists, board officials determined it would be safest to use precaution against the predicted wintry mix of severe weather.
The monthly scheduled school board meeting for Tuesday, Jan. 7 has also been cancelled.
"Countdown to shutdown" is the catchy phrase coined for a difficult situation for four northwest Georgia libraries.
Lecia Eubanks, director of the Cherokee Regional Library System that has branches in Rossville, Chickamauga, LaFayette and Trenton, came up with the slogan to sum up the library system's troubled financial footing.
Increased costs and funding cuts likely will force library officials in six months to pick a branch to eventually shut down to keep the system afloat, Eubanks said.

Video: Baby dies at possible unlicensed daycare
STORY: Our exclusive 10 News Investigation about what appears to be a dry-run on a flight from Washington to Orlando is raising concern in the nation's Capitol.
Click here for more...
Largo, Florida - A three-and-a-half month only baby died after being in the care of what may be an unlicensed daycare.
"I just heard a siren then I looked outside... there was Largo rescue," said neighbor William Keating.
The incident took place on Wednesday afternoon.
The child was taken to Morton Plant Hospital and later passed away for reasons still unknown, although officials say foul play is not suspected at this point.
The medical examiner's office is performing an autopsy to determine the exact cause of the child's death.
Officials at the Pinellas County License Board are looking into whether someone inside the home where the child passed away was operating without a daycare license.
Last year, the organization said it investigated 20 claims of unlicensed daycare centers, which is a misdemeanor.
"We have had situations where we've brought the sheriff's office out," said Patsy Buker, executive director of the Pinellas County License Board.
When searching for a daycare online, business are required to post their license number. If they do not, you should ask to see it in person.
"You could be putting your child with somebody who's been arrested for child abuse."
Licensing a daycare costs only $25, but there is a background check involved.

Handling Emotions, Lynx Celebrate While Picking Up A Win
Mark Remme
Lynx Editor/Writer
Email / Twitter
Lynx center Taj McWilliams-Franklin felt the outpouring of support for the 2011 championship team long before Sundays pregame ceremony at Target Center. Seeing the banner raised on a day the team drew a season-opening franchise record 12,611 was simply icing on the cake.
Since shes been back in Minnesota, fans have stopped to show their support everywhere shes goneat restaurants, at the store or on the street fielding "thank yous" from strangers while she's walking by.
Everywhere weve been going, people have been so excited about the opportunity to say we love you; thank you for doing something for us, McWilliams-Franklin said.
Sundays outing at Target Center was the perfect way to translate that excitement and energy from the 2011 title push into the Lynxs new goalthe Road to Repeat. Minnesota took control in the second quarter and earned a 105-83 victory in front of a sellout crowd on national television. Had it not been for Seimone Augustus (ribs) leaving the game in the second half after diving for a loose ball in the stands, the day from start to finish was exactly what the team hoped for.
It was a chance for one last celebration with their faithful fans, and a strong victory to start the new campaign.
Coach Cheryl Reeve has stressed all week to her team that taking in the celebration was one thing, but the group needed to be prepared to move on and focus on the task at hand. She said watching the Dallas Mavericks lose after their banner-raising ceremony, then lose again when they got their rings later in the season, made her worry about pulling out a victory against the Mercury.
Im at Jim Petersens sons graduation and all the stat guys are telling me, Do you know what the stats say for a team who has to hold a ceremony like this? she joked. So yeah, I didnt sleep very well last night.
Still, Reeve has the advantage of leading a team poised and focused on the task at hand. The club is aware no WNBA franchise has won back-to-back championships in a decade, and this club is trying to chase history from the very beginning. That journey began Sunday at Target Center, and in the end Minnesota found a way to come out on top.
Augustus stressed leading up to the game this week that this team understands what its trying to do, and her teammates would be able to enjoy the pregame moment while also being prepared to take on Phoenix moments later. She was rightafter an even first quarter, the Lynx got stronger and stronger throughout the game on both ends of the floor. They held the Mercury to 16 points on 38 percent shooting in the fourth quarter, all but sealing the win.
You could tell from the start we were a little off sync, and it took a while for us to get into the rhythm and everything, guard Lindsay Whalen said. But once we did that, I thought it was a good game for us.
WNBA President Laurel Richie was on hand for the game, and she joined Lynx owner Glen Taylor on the court during the pregame festivities to address the crowd and hand out the championship rings. They, along with about 100 fans known as the Lynx Legendsa group of original season ticket members who have been with the team through its ups and downs since its inaugural seasonwere on the court during the banner ceremony. Many came early, long before the pregame festivities, to take in the pregame festivities and soak in the long-awaited moment.
Roxanne Allen, one of the Lynx Legends, said she thought about the franchise's earlier, leaner days when the banner was being unfurled. She said she was unwavering in maintaining her season tickets when friends questioned why, and it was worth the wait for this championship celebration.
"The misty eyes of several Lynx Legends standing nearby moved me," Allen said. "I thought how the owners, organization, coaches, team and fans are all so deserveing. Especially the Legends who 'stuck it out' when times were lean. Seimone Augustuswho has the longest tenure of that tough road traveledand our hometown floor captain, LIndsay [Whalen], whom I watched grow her game at the U. It was the perfect start in 2012 to a perfect ending in 2011."
Richie, who has been in town all weekend, said the excitement level around the Lynx franchise left quite an impression.
It was so great, she said. You can just feel it from spending time with the fans, with partners, with the players. You can just feel it. Walking over today, I was trying to get over here a couple hours early, and there were already fans coming in. It was terrific.
Whalen, the Hutchinson native, said she grew up watching Timberwolves games and now feels proud to know she contributed to a banner raised in the Target Center rafters.
Its a great feeling, and something well always be able to know we did last year and we did it together, Whalen said. Having that feeling makes it really special.
Augustus said she felt the energy from the crowd from the start, and that translated into the game.
You could tell our fans had been waiting, probably counting down the months until we returned, and it was fun to be able to experience that with them, Augustus said. But at the same time once the banner went up, the lights went on and we started warming up for the game, it was about 2012 and what we are trying to do.

Thunder notebook: Kevin Durant adjusts
Kevin Durant had nearly as many turnovers (four) as points (six) at halftime. Durant adjusted to being defended by small guards. Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks said two Durant assists and a 3-pointer early in the third quarter were the key to the Thunder seizing control in the 104-88 win Monday over Golden State.
Durant finished with six turnovers but scored 28 points. "It's tough to play against little guards," Durant said. "Since I'm so tall, they get under me when I dribble. Coming out (in the second half), I wanted to do something else. My shot wasn't going the first half. "I got a few assists early on, and that led to some points for me as well. People think it's easy (going against small guards), that I'm going to score a lot of points. But it's tough. Those guys get after it. They have quick hands. That's something I have to get used to."
LIVINGSTON PLAYS WELLShaun Livingston wasn't in the Thunder rotation early. He was then sidelined more than two weeks following arthroscopic knee surgery. But now that Kevin Ollie is out through the holidays after also undergoing knee surgery, Livingston might have seized the backup point guard job Monday after he grabbed a season-high seven rebounds and dished out a season-high three assists. "He was good," Brooks said. "That's not easy to do. He came off his minor knee procedure and played well. He can make plays. He does a good job of finding guys. Tonight, he did a good job of rebounding when we needed it."
SEASON HIGHThe Thunder posted season highs for rebounds (57). Box score from Monday's game

Constableville- Pauline M. (Getman) Seelman, 84, of James St., formerly of Sweeney Road, town of West Turin, widow of Norbert J, passed away suddenly on Thursday, December 27, 2012, at Lewis Co. General Hospital, Lowville.
She was born in the hamlet of Herrings, in Jefferson County, on April 23, 1928, a daughter of Ernest and Eva Bell Getman. As a child she moved to the Turin area with her family, where she attended school, later moving to Constableville, where she completed her education at Constableville High School. On February 8, 1947, Pauline was united in marriage with Norbert J. Seelman, at St. Marys Church, West Leyden. Thereafter the couple settled on the Seelman homestead farm, on the Sweeney Road, near Constableville. Together they operated this dairy farm, until 1976, when they retired and moved to their home on James St. Mr. Seelman died on July 20, 1991.
Mrs. Seelman was a member of St. Marys Church, Constableville. She greatly enjoyed baking, crocheting and knitting.
Pauline, most of all, loved her family. She was predeceased by her beloved daughter Mrs. Eva Jedrich, on April 2, 2007. She is survived by her greatly loved and cherished grandchildren: Christopher J.B. Jedrich and his wife, Priscilla, Victor, NY and Jennifer L. Jedrich-Kerfien, and husband, Randy, Boonville; and great grandchildren, Ashley Jedrich, Jayden and Ty Kerfien, her son in law, Raymond Jedrich, Constableville; two brothers and sisters in law, Douglas (Patricia) Getman, Cooperstown and George (Lucille) Getman, Turin; and one sister, Gladys Pate, Croghan. Pauline had great love and appreciation for her nephew Stanley (Dean) Moxley and his wife, Cindy, of Constableville. In addition to her daughter, Pauline was predeceased by twin sisters, Dorothy Moxley and Doris Marlof, and by a brother, Donald Getman, her parents, and her step father, De Alton Cranker.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend her Mass of Christian Burial on Monday, at 10:00 A.M. at St. Marys Church, Constableville, where Rev. Lawrence Marullo, pastor will officiate.

I think everyone understands the basic decendent selector, but let's do a quick overview of the other selectors in this style: the child combinator, the adjacent sibling combinator, and the general sibling combinator.
ul li { margin: 0 0 5px 0; }
ul > li { margin: 0 0 5px 0; }
The first selector above is a decendant selector. It will select any list items that are anywhere underneath an unordered list in the markup structure. The list item could be buried three levels deep within other nested lists, and this selector will still match it. The second selector above is a child combinator selector. This means it will only select list items that are direct children of an unordered list. In otherwords, it only looks one level down the markup structure, no deeper. So if there was another unordered list nested deeper, the list item children of it will not be targeted by this selector.
I'll admit it took me longer than it probably it should have (way back when) when I was learning the basics of CSS. In both cases, they are selecting list items that are children of unordered lists. But there is a difference between children and descendants.

Although I have been ignoring this blog for much of the year, I did start contributing over at www.hdydi.com. I am very excited to be sharing my experience as a single mom of twins with the multiple's community. So come join me over there…..
Random Facts
One of the blogs I follow is written by author Elizabeth Lyons. I have been reading her books since I found out I was pregnant with the boy's. Her humor and ability to keep it simple keeps me coming back for more. Her most recent post was about revealing unknown facts about oneself. This is a practice that I have been involved with since starting my journey of recovery. She invited her readers to dig deep and then share:
1. I love cooking….this is a new discovery. I thought I hated cooking but really I was just lazy and didn't want to clean up after.
2. If I had to identify one thing in nature that allows me to feel one with God it would be water. It's part of everything living and is even in the air we breath.
3. One of my new favorite show's is "Teen Mom 2″ on MTV.
4. I really enjoy dancing with my boys (that doesn't mean I'll be going out dancing anytime soon).
5. I have a difficult time identifying with other Mom's at times.
6. I struggle at times meeting my children where they are at, even though that's want I want from everyone else I have a relationship with.
7. I spend WAY TOO MUCH time researching kids items
8. I find it very helpful to find out "why" someone is behaving the way they are, it is easier for me to elicit some compassion and lay down my judgments
9. I would really love to adopt a little girl
10. Sometimes napping is essential to everyone's survival.

"Mama who's God?"
I had been waiting for that question among many others that I cringe at the thought of being asked. The conversation a few weeks ago went something like this:
Clay: "what's that building Mama, a castle?"
Me: "No, honey that's a church"
Clay: "what's a church"
Me: "a church is a place people go to learn about God"
Clay: "who's God"
Me: holding my breath and hoping he forgot the question
Clay: "WHO'S GOD MAMA"
Me: "Did you see that bird over there?"
For those who have known me my whole life, my reaction and avoidance may surprise you with my long history of going to church, christian schools and camps. Yet, it's my history with all of those that led me to my reaction. I don't want my experience and understanding of God to be my childrens' understanding. Don't get me wrong I am very grateful for all of that knowledge, it has come in handy a number of times in my life. But that was all it added up to be when my world started crumbling, just knowledge. It hadn't been an experience or a practice. At some points during my emotional adolescence I would have told you that I had a spiritual experience and that I had a personal relationship with God. What I had was some prayers that I threw to the sky when I didn't have the answers and I was scared. I didn't believe or trust that I was going to be taken care of, or that I was unconditionally loved. I didn't come to believe and trust that until after I turned 30. I hope my children don't have to wait that long.
When I hit a bottom in my life and started a path of recovery. I was told that I needed to find a Higher Power of my understanding. That I could define and name that Higher Power and that it could be as complicated or simple as I needed it to be. I knew I didn't want the God that I remembered from some of the schools, churches and camps I had attended. That God was a judging, vengeful entity that already had my life planned out for me. Therefore all of the bad things that had happened in my life had been a result of that God. It was suggested I write out a list of attributes that I wanted/needed from my Higher Power (who I now chose to call God). But when I sat down to write that list I remember crying, I didn't feel like I deserved to ask for what I needed. So I wrote a list of attributes I couldn't have in a God. Then I wrote a list of all the times I knew that someone or something had been taking care of me. It became a freeing and fulfilling journey, that I am so grateful for.
Yet, I still don't have words to explain God to my children.
A minute to remember…..
p>Recently on one of discussion boards I am part of a video was linked up and I thought I'd share:
I clearly remember the moment about 4 years ago I decided not to wait to find the "perfect someone" to start a family with. There was a sense of empowerment knowing that other women had gone before me and successfully conceived and raised children on their own. I am so grateful that in those moments I didn't project the worse case scenario's which is my usual default, instead I ran with that intuitive notion and now have two beautiful boys to journey with.
QOTW….OMG How do all of you do this????
p>So this seem like the perfect opportunity for me to re-enter the blogging world. I have missed it so much but it always falls so low on my list of things to do. This week over at Multiples and….More the Question of the Week was left up to us participants which I think is great!
So my question is "How do you parents of preschool age multiples do this and blog or even shower some days?"
Frequently, I have new mothers of twins ask me when it's going to get easier. My answer is "It doesn't, the hard parts just become different." So I have no expectation that life with children, never mind multiples is going to become easy. Some insight on how to get them both potty trained, to listen when I am in the shower or on the phone, and to stop fighting would be great. Also, how to keep them both healthy while in preschool would be helpful too.
Looking forward to checking out the questions and other blogs tonight after they go to bed, if I can stay awake that long!

November: Teaching Gratitude
December: It Came and Went
I have really enjoyed starting this journey of blogging. My hope is that now that the boy's are starting preschool that I will have more opportunities to share.
It came and went….
p>What a whirlwind the last few weeks have been. Birthday's, Christmas, family and friends. All wonderful things but still time-consuming. So to recap:
The boy's birthday party was wonderful. Family and friends joined us to celebrate with love, laughter and cake. The boy's enjoyed the audience and of course the presents. The got a train table, books, clothes, puzzles and so much more. I have already started putting things away to pull out on a rainy/snowy day.
Christmas was magical. They really got into the concept of Santa and the story behind that. I also started introducing the biblical story. In fact at the boy's birthday party Reese kept calling a friends baby, "Baby Jesus". We all got a laugh but it also warmed my heart to know that he was holding onto some of what was being said. Christmas morning at 2:00am I was woken up by both boys and informed it was morning. They were sent back to bed. When morning came we were greeted by Mimzy downstairs and the stocking/present opening began. I was both overjoyed by their excitement and somewhat saddened at their constant want for more presents. I've been told that is normal and they will get the idea as they mature. We visited family that afternoon and had a wonderful time. We were all beat by that night.
I am so grateful to be awake to my life today and have the gift of living these moments through my children's eyes.
A year in review!
One of my favorite things to do is take pictures of my boy"s and share them with others. I had great intentions of doing baby books but it just never happened. Instead I put together a montage from one birthday to the next and I am having copies made for both of them so someday they can take mobile casino them when the grow up. Here is the montage for this past year. If you want to see the prior one"s there are links on the right of my blog. Enjoy!!
QOTW: Holiday Traditions
One of the advantages of being a single parent is that I have had the chance to decide without compromise what holiday traditions we will practice as a family. Some of the more material traditions I have started are:
- Opening one present of PJ's on Christmas Eve
- Getting each of the boy's a new tree ornament each year that I will pass onto them when they have a tree of their own to decorate.
- Making homemade ornaments
- Decorating a Gingerbread house
- Riding around looking at lights
From the more spiritual side:
- I have struggled over the last few years with how to introduce the religious aspects of Christmas to the boy's without actually practicing a religion. I have a strong belief and faith in God but don't feel like those belief's fit into any specific religious community. So the teaching of the meanings behind Christmas are up to me. Last year I found a children's book written by Neale Donald Walsch who also wrote the book "Conversations with God" which I enjoyed and identified with. The children's book is "Santa's God" and is about a conversation between a child and Santa who answers the question "Santa, who is the real God?". I cried the first time I read it. It is a beautiful description in simple language of how we are all the same despite our differences.
- Reading "The Night before Christmas"
- Reading the biblical story of the first Christmas
Then of course, there are all the Christmas movies etc. I was sitting with a group of other moms this past week and I was given a great reminder that whatever traditions I start, I should be prepared to continue since they will be all the boy's know. In hearing that I am, sticking with these for now because simple is many times more meaningful in my world.
Teaching Gratitude…
With the holidays here and the catalogs and commercials in full swing, I have really started contemplating how gratitude is taught. I am also taking an online class and following a blog by the author Christine Carter of "Raising Happiness" and she talks about fostering gratitude. I know from my own experiences that gratitude was hard to find sometimes in life and it wasn't until starting on a path of emotional health that I truly understood why it is important.
Early in recovery and even now when I am stuck in negativity it is suggested to write a gratitude list at night before I go to bed. I always find that my perspective shifts after I am done. Something happens when I stop focusing on what's wrong and start remembering what is going right. As I reflect on this, I am reminded that people modeled gratitude for me . Seeing the glass as half full does not come natural to me. I hear frequently that negativity and complaining is a habit. If that is true, gratitude and happiness can also become a habit.
I feel strongly as a parent that it is my responsibility to teach them genuine gratitude and not develop a sense of entitlement. I see so many kids today who have too much stuff, including my kids. Having their birthday and Christmas only 8 days apart contributes to that problem. As they get older I am going to encourage more gifts of experience, like Children's Museum memberships, movie tickets, magazine subscriptions etc. This year I am putting some of the gifts away and taking them out throughout the year.
I have found a few ideas that I would like to start incorporating into our lives. First I would like to start naming three things/people we were thankful for during our day either at dinner or before bed. Second I would like to start doing bedtime prayers with them, with the focus being on thanking God for the day, for the people in our lives etc. Thirdly, I would like to start going through their toys, books and clothes before their birthday and holidays and have them be a part of passing those items onto other. Either kids younger or families in needs.
To start the process this year we gave some baby toys/items to a friend who is having twins. We also made gratitude trees. I printed some trees and leaves off the internet. Then we sat down and the boy's named people in their lives that they are thankful for. They don't completely understand what thankful means, so I inserted the word "love" when it got confusing. Many of their favorite people were named, but also "Woody", "Buzz", "Santa" and "Lucky the Elf" made the list. After making the list, I wrote names on the leaves, then we glued the leaves on the trees. I took pictures for memory sake. It was a lot of fun and a tradition I would like to continue.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and I am grateful you are all in my life!

Eugene Landy '58 Receives Simeon Baldwin Award
The Award was established in 2007 and is presented by the Center to a Yale Law School graduate in recognition of distinguished achievement in law and business. Simeon Baldwin, both a student and faculty member of the Law School, was the leading railroad lawyer of his day and was responsible for putting in place the Law School's interdisciplinary tradition. He was also governor and chief justice of the Supreme Court of Connecticut, and a founder and president of an astounding number of professional associations.
Landy is the Founder and Chairman of Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation and Founder and Chairman of UMH Properties, Inc. As Center Director Roberta Romano '80 remarked at the award presentation, "Gene Landy is one of the pioneers and founders of the real estate investment trust (REIT) industry, which has played a critical role in reducing the cost of residential and commercial real estate by providing investors with a practical means of diversifying their investment portfolios into real estate. Gene early on recognized how the REIT creates value by turning illiquid assets into liquid ones, facilitating homeowners' and entrepreneurs' property acquisitions."
Judge Guido Calabresi '58, former YLS Dean and Sterling Professor Emeritus, in remarks honoring his law school classmate on the occasion, further noted Landy's remarkable life story. Landy graduated from the Merchant Marine Academy before enrolling in the Law School and financed his education by working at sea. This singular background provides an insight into the remarkable career that was to come, as Landy did not choose a conventional career path, but was willing to take entrepreneurial risk in uncharted waters. Landy's involvement in the REIT industry dates back almost to the industry's beginning, and spans both the day-to-day operations of two real estate investment trust companies and leadership positions in important professional organizations, such as the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts and the Northeast Regional Association of Small Business Investment Companies.

Ties to Albany, Washington vital to University's future.
By : Cait Anastis
Reading the political landscape and maintaining the connections at the local, state and federal levels necessary to generate positive support for Binghamton is a year-round job for the University's president and her senior staff.
"An important part of what I do is keep on top of issues that could impact Bing-hamton and develop a plan with staff to address those issues," said President Lois B. DeFleur. "I work to build and maintain the necessary relationships year round. It's not just with legislators; it's also with key government agencies."
It is not a one-person job, she said. Developing a strategy to address pending concerns requires input from each division of the University to determine the focus of Binghamton's messages and create a plan for delivering those messages, DeFleur said.
Congressional and state legislative cycles mean that attention shifts from Washington to Albany and back again as state and federal activity levels peak at different times of the year. During the first half of the year, with state budget talks underway, the University's focus turns to Albany. One of the key issues for this year is the need for appropriate and stable levels of funding for the SUNY system, which needs an estimated $85 million — in state aid, a tuition increase or a combination of both — to maintain the existing quality of education.
Also of concern during this budget cycle is the need for restoration of $7.8 million in proposed cuts to SUNY's Equal Opportunity Program and proposed cuts in funding for the state's Tuition Assistance Program. University officials would also like to have $5-7 million in the state's capital budget approved for the planning and design of a new science and engin-eering research building. While these points are the immediate focus, in the long-term the University also supports Chancellor Robert L. King's "tuition guarantee" proposal, as a way of providing predictable educational costs for students in the SUNY system, while giving SUNY campuses the ability to do long-term planning. There also are a number of other pro-posed state issues being discussed with the potential of affecting life on the Binghamton campus.
"When you are at a public university you spend much more time on your state and local advocacy efforts," DeFleur said. However, this does not mean that the University focuses completely on state issues. DeFleur also pays attention to the federal level, where Congressional decision makers have the power to positively or negatively affect Binghamton University. One issue with potential ramifications for the campus is the proposal to create a national student database, raising concerns about how it would be implemented and the impact it could have on student privacy.
Since starting her tenure as Bingham-ton's president in 1990, DeFleur has seen her role as an advocate for the University increase.
"It's much more intense, there are many more issues and many affect the University more dramatically," she said. However, one of Binghamton's strengths in this arena may be the long tenure of its president. Nationally, the average length of service of a public university president is about five to seven years. Now in her 14th year at Binghamton, DeFleur has a well-established track record in dealing with the elected officials representing the region.
"I think it benefits the University because the relationships I've developed with key people are long standing," she said.

Welcome to Player Attack!
Each week, gamers around the world log onto digital distribution platform Steam, to get their latest gaming fix, and every week, Player Attack lets you know which games were the most popular.
We're not questioning whether or not ArmA II can stand on its own two feet, but we are suggesting that - perhaps - a certain zombie-themed mod might have had something to do with why the Combined Operations have taken out top spot this week. Consisting of both the original game plus the Operation Arrowhead expansion pack, this is thirty bucks well spent - the fact that DayZ is free simply adds to the fun!
Built upon over 10 years' experience, Arma 2 thrusts gamers into the heart of the most realistic military combat simulation ever developed, featuring cutting edge technology, vast, detailed environments and authentically modeled units, weapons and vehicles. Branching, player-driven campaigns offer both solo and cooperative gameplay, accompanied by a huge range of single and multiplayer modes.
#2 - Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion
#3 - Sid Meier's Civilization V - Gods and Kings
#4 - Max Payne 3
#5 - Crusader Kings II Collection
#7 - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
#8 - Counter-Strike: Source
#9 - Cities XL 2012
#10 - Torchlight II
I like video games and music and cups of tea and noodles and beagles and colour-cycling LEDs.

Current business trend – Online-to-Offline
Current business trend "O2O" or "online to offline" is one of the most popular and quickly developing. Some of the O2O business ideas are purely commercial, other are mostly about the art and design. The project that I'd like to share with you today belongs to this second category. Nevertheless it doesn't mean that it can't have a commercial potential.
Creative designer Shu-Chun Hsiao from Taipei, Taiwan, came up with a really interesting idea – to equip big cities with free housing for the urban wild birds. Shu-Chun Hsiao decided to make birdhouses in the form of easily recognizable Google maps icon. We all know the remarkable Google Map landmark icon that shows the sites on its street views. But who have the most real experience of google map wandering? Urban birds! Birds can fly through the city, through streets and a birdhouse will become their destination as google map does.
Every modern citizen is familiar to Google maps icon, so spotting it in the city will definitely make him/her smile. And talking about the birds… Well, they do not really care what the exterior design of their home look like. The important is to have this home. So they will also benefit from this project.

Multiple NOOSE members will come from the bottom of the stairs. Wipe them out and proceed down. You will see the Derrick and Packie are in cover behind 2 pillars. Run past the 2nd person and hide behind the bench or pillar. Keep shooting at the cops until they tell you to follow them.

New CD of the Week | Glazunov: Complete Concertos
Oddly, this is the first-ever recording of the complete concertos by Russian master, Alexander Glazunov. Conductor, Jose Serebrier is already established as a Glazunov master. Exhibit A: his recording of the complete Glazunov symphonies with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra.
Glazunov: Complete Concertos features Serebrier with the Russian National Orchestra. It includes five concertos, a pageantry of beautiful showpieces for violin, saxophone, cello and two for piano.
Having studied with Rimsky-Korsakov and Dmitri Shostakovich, Glazunov was hailed as the great torch-bearer of the Russian musical tradition heading into the 20th century. You can hear Glazunov's lyrical gift threaded throughout this bargain 2-disc set. In his Piano Concerto #1, you also hear a bit of Rachmaninov. The Piano Concerto #2, beautifully executed by Alexander Romanovsky, echoes Tchaikovsky.
Rachel Barton-Pine shines in the exquisite Violin Concerto on Glazunov: Complete Concertos (are we surprised?). The saxophone gets a rare nod in Glazunov's very last work (1935), written a year before the composer's death for saxophonist, Sigurd Rascher. One interesting historic connection: Serebrier recorded the Saxophone Concerto with Rascher in 1961. Finally, the Concerto Ballata for Cello and Orchestra was dedicated to cello icon, Pablo Casals.
Also included are three delightful miniatures: Chant du ménestrel (Minstrel's Song), Rêverie, and Meditation (played by Rachel Barton-Pine), adding a lovely touch to make Glazunov: Complete Concertos a great choice for any classical collection.

This is my first opportunity to answer the allegations by a couple letter writers who have obviously joined the "good ol' boys and girls" committee to mislead folks who read opinions in the U-B.
I also realized (since returning home) that some folks who are truthful, honest and caring have written letters to help others realize that Steve Singleton, Dan Clark and Janice Allen attempted to sway others into believing I said some things I really didn't say. Read the letters, find the truth.
First, I never made a threat to Jerry Votendahl; I never mentioned violence and I never bullied him. I simply expressed my opinion of the "trash talking" he has pursued since the sheriff's election campaign began a year ago. That is the truth.
Further, Singleton seems to believe he can read minds and likens my letter to a slap with a glove and a choice of weapons. Singleton certainly has a history of attempting to incite others with his opinion letters, but he really should consider not attempting to deceive others by changing a person's words to suit his own ambitions.
In addition, a letter written by Gay Ernst, published Dec. 11 is exactly on the point and further indicates the nonsense that has been spewing from the county commissioners for a lengthy amount of time is very childish, rude and quite detrimental to what the voters had in mind when we elected John Turner. It's flat-out disgraceful to our community, hinders the job Sheriff Turner and his staff have been doing and wants to get done.
Knock off the trash talk, start acting like adults, communicate in a reasonable way or resign. Ernst is right. We should concentrate on finding officials to represent the citizens, be transparent, honest and communicate in a civil, cooperative spirit. It ain't being accomplished by those few now!
