A Letter to Future Mothers. ~ Kristin Jackson
"Sometimes when you pick up your child you can feel the map of your own bones beneath your hands, or smell the scent of your skin in the nape of his neck.This is the most extraordinary thing about motherhood—finding a piece of yourself separate and apart that all the same you could not live without."
~ Jodi Picoult
I started writing this letter as a list of four misconceptions about motherhood: your life will be turned upside down, babies are expensive, you must have a three bed, two bath house, and you will never have time for yourself. All are untrue, and you can keep yourself.
I realized one of my problems is the constant need to put ideas into lists, write specifically about each one, and skim the issue in a neat, organized fashion. But motherhood is not about lists. Motherhood is not about planning and motherhood is not about skimming. It is the opposite.
Motherhood is about stretching to find the core of who you are and who your child is.
To be a mother is to float in front of a giant wave you never knew was coming until it hits you, and knocks you under, and then you come up glistening and more beautiful than before. There are many things I wish I had been told before the moment occurred, the moment when a piece of me came out and became its own piece of an amazing puzzle. Most of all, I wish I'd known that every simple moment counts so much more than the complicated ones.
It is in those simple moments the relationship blossoms.
Motherhood is that moment when your child picks a flower from the garden and hands it to you with a goofy grin on her face. The flower is already dead but it's beautiful to her, and to you. It's the moment when you stick out your tongue for your baby, and he responds with toothless cackling that is as ego boosting as if you had just climbed Mount Everest.
Simply, motherhood is about love.
Despite all of our checklists and nice ways to go about parenting, love is really the only thing that matters to a child. The other day, my five-year old looked up at me and said, "Mommy I like houses, but I love you more." I smiled. As Americans, we think we need to provide our children with our self-created, limited idea of what is the best. When really all children care about is love. To them, love is the best.
Motherhood isn't always rosy and I do not always feel like I love it.
There have been evenings after everyone is asleep, that I have curled up in child's pose in the middle of the living room floor and cried after a long day. Nobody knew but me. Motherhood is attempting to find a moment of peace after watching a toddler scatter flour and sugar all over the floor, while the baby nurses your energy away after having kept you up all night. It's about finding your inner peace, out of nowhere, when your outer energy is wiped away. It's about forgetting everything else going on in the world and just holding your child.
Motherhood is one simple moment after the next.
Whether joyful or strenuous, simple moments will make you feel more complex than you've ever felt before. It is allowing something as small (and wise) as a little child to mold you into the person that you need to become. The person you never thought you'd be. The person you love.
I love what being a mother is making of me. I am not where I want to be, but I will get there. And as a future mother, you will get there too. And you will thrive. So when the time comes, please attempt to lay aside all ideas of perfection. Just allow yourself to bask in the simplicity of those beautiful, amazing loves.
Those saving graces. Your children.

I loved it! Identified with every little bit too. I think it's sad the way society is structured so that a parent, or both, have to sacrifice a huge part of the amazing journey that is parenting.
Motherhood is all about love. You said everything.
Im so glad you both liked it and I hope it left you feeling encouraged!

An official in Florida says nearly all of the inmates and corrections officials injured in an apparent gas explosion at a jail have been released from hospitals.
Escambia County spokesman Bill Pearson said Thursday that 184 people were taken to hospitals after the blast and only two inmates and one corrections officer are still there. Pearson wouldn't describe the extent of their injuries.
Two inmates were killed in the explosion late Wednesday. Authorities say three inmates are missing.
The blast created confusion as hundreds of inmates and officers had to evacuate the building, which was all but destroyed.
Severe weather that swept through the area caused significant flooding in the county Wednesday morning. Castro, however, said it was too early to say whether the explosion was weather-related but it's very likely.
One Blood says flooding from severe storms in the Panhandle is making blood collections difficult.

It's the cricket cup that offers village amateurs the chance of fulfilling their dreams – walking through the Long Room to play at Lord's.
The National Village Cup was launched by The Cricketer 40 years ago and to celebrate, The Times has become the competition's media partner.
Around 300 clubs from all over England, Wales and Scotland take part each year, hoping to make a date at the home of cricket.
After several local rounds, the surviving clubs take part in regional finals with official umpires; the two finalists travel to Lord's for the 40-over a side contest in early September.
Launched in 1971 by the world's biggest-selling cricket magazine, the Village Cup is still run by The Cricketer.
This year's winner was Woodhouses, the Lancashire club which Mike Atherton joined as a teenager. The trophy was presented in front of the Lord's pavilion by MCC president Christopher Martin-Jenkins, himself a former Times cricket correspondent.

8. The UN Seems To Lack Esteemed, Credible Spokespersons…Unless You Count Dictators.
If you're anything like me, you tend to think of the people who attend functions like the Cancun Climate Conference and other UN-related scientific gatherings as being the lab coat and Coke-bottle glasses types who pore over their computer models and rarely emerge into the outdoors that they claim is killing us all. There are actually a surprising number of diplomats, statesmen, and politicians who attend events like these. Some of them actually utter some fascinating things.
Take Christiana Figueres, the Executive Secretary for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, for example. On multiple occasions, Figueres conjured up the name of Ixchel, the Mayan jaguar goddess. I'm not sure, but I think that she may also be the goddess of terrible metaphors, and she smiled broadly on Figueres:
In my opening speech last Monday, I mentioned that we are in the land of the ancient Mayan goddess Ixchel, goddess of reason, creativity and weaving. Over the past week, I have found it encouraging to see that she has inspired you to use reason and creativity to weave together some of the elements of your response to climate change. Much good work has already come out of the draft decisions you have prepared under both the SBI and the SBSTA. You have also used creativity and reason to begin to fill in some of the holes in the tapestry of the KP and the LCA. But we all know that is not enough. [Emphasis mine]
This is what passes for inspiring rhetoric at the United Nations these days.
Another brilliant example is Socialist Bolivian President Evo Morales, who was named "World Hero of Mother Earth" by the UN General Assembly in 2009. Morales added a bit of fiery rhetoric to the stuffy proceedings:
Participants described the meetings as businesslike and largely free of the cant and bluster that has marred past sessions, although for fans of drama, the fiery Bolivian leader Evo Morales did not disappoint.
"We talk about the effects and not the causes of the multiple crises we face: the climate crisis, the food crisis, the energy crisis," Mr. Morales said. "The climate crisis is one of the crises of capitalism."
He warned of the dire outcome if delegates did not renew the Kyoto agreement, which binds rich nations to emissions targets and directs a flow of money to poorer nations to adapt to the effects of climate change.
"If, from here, we send the Kyoto Protocol to the rubbish bin, we are responsible for ecocide and genocide, because we will be sending many people to their deaths," Mr. Morales said.
Tell us how you really feel about capitalism, President Morales! All this from the man who, earlier this year at another climate summit, blamed baldness and homosexuality on the presence of alleged hormones injected into chickens:
Bolivian President, Evo Morales, has surprised his audience by ensuring that the chickens of industrial production are responsible for "deviations" of men for homosexuality and baldness in Europe.
"The chicken we eat is loaded with female hormones. Therefore, men who eat these chickens have deviations in their being as men," Morales told thousands of people at the opening of the Peoples of the World Conference on Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth.
He also added, to the consequences of this type of food, baldness, and prophesied: "At fifty, everyone will be bald." According to the president, these data demonstrate that the "West brings increasingly more and more poison."
The idea that hormones are added to poultry in commercial farms is considered a myth without foundation by specialists.
It seems they'll let anybody into these conventions these days, especially eccentric, anti-Western, anti-capitalist dictators.

10 December 2013
Syrian state television says the country's local and international telephone lines as well as the internet are down because of technical problems. Meanwhile the global chemical weapons watchdog OPCW has said that the removal of chemical weapons from Syria may be delayed slightly due to the difficulties of operating during a civil war.
4 December 2013
Aid workers said they have a better winter plan this year. Cranes are lifting trailers into place and tents are being packed away as international aid workers rush to winterize a Syrian refugee camp in Jordan — trying to avoid a repeat of last year when three days of torrential rain turned the massive site into a muddy swamp.
4 December 2013
Speaking to reporters after a closed briefing for Security Council diplomats, the official — Valerie Amos, the under secretary general and emergency relief coordinator — said that the Syrian authorities had been permitting aid convoys from Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq, but had refused to allow any from Turkey, which the Syrian government has accused of abetting the insurgency.
29 November 2013
Launching the report, UN High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres said: "If we do not act quickly, a generation of innocents will become lasting casualties of an appalling war." The study is the latest to attempt to illustrate the heavy toll of Syria's three-year-old civil conflict on children both inside and outside its borders.
29 November 2013
More than 5.6 million people inside Syria need assistance, an official at the World Food Program (WFP) said, warning that more Syrians are inching closer to the poverty line as the civil conflict gripping the country continues. The representative and director of the WFP in Syria, Matthew Hollingorth, said in an interview issued on Thursday in the Tishrin newspaper that the number of poor exceeds the organization's capacity, which currently serves 5.5 million displaced people inside and outside Syria.
28 November 2013
Food assistance to Syrian refugees in Lebanon has evolved since the start of the refugee influx. What started out as parcels full of essentials like wheat, sugar, oil and other basic food stuffs, morphed into coupons that can be redeemed for the refugees' choice of items at designated shops and finally, became a blue debit card that refills every month and has already been given to 150,000 Syrians residing in Lebanon. The e-card has many benefits. (..) The best part is, the WFP wholeheartedly follows up on this, to make sure everything is ok. (..) Today, Kevork and Yasmine took their time and a lot of patience to gather as much information as possible for their comprehensive questionnaires to try to piece together what the refugees were eating, whether or not its healthy, balanced, fair-priced, easily accessible and stable, and how well the e-card system is running and if the specified shops are sticking to the guidelines.
26 November 2013
Food and shelter are so much more expensive here than in Syria that even formerly middle class families, with substantial savings, are running out of funds. (..) More than 75 percent of the 260 Syrian refugee households surveyed by Oxfam carry debt.
25 November 2013
The United Nations has asked for more than $5 billion in humanitarian aid this year for Syria, its biggest financial appeal ever for a single crisis. (..) The cost is greater, but the Syrians prefer the freedom of preparing their own meals. The practice also injects money into the host communities — $160 million from the World Food Program has trickled into local stores in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt so far this year.
21 November 2013
The UN World Food Program (WFP) began this week providing assistance to 5,000 Syrian Armenians displaced from Syria who have sought protection in Armenia. The 6-month-assistance project is funded by the government of the Russian Federation. This WFP operation was put in place upon a request from the Ministry of Diaspora, responsible for the overall coordination of assistance to Syrian Armenians. "Syrian Armenians were once part of the thriving Armenian Diaspora in Syria. Many of them have lost their homes and livelihoods due to the conflict in Syria," said WPF Head of Office in Armenia Maria Lukyanova.
21 November 2013
Desperate Syrian refugee families in Lebanon are slipping further into debt and poverty, affecting their children's education and their dignity, an international aid agency said Thursday.

Isaac Pfeifer Gets His Diploma
By Meghan Matthews. CREATED May 12, 2013
Norfolk, NE - Dressed in robes of red and white, Norfolk Catholic seniors file in down the aisle and Isaac Pfeifer, is with them.
"It's been 6 months, quite a journey. You know there's been times when we weren't too sure if this was gonna be possible and it is amazing to see his dedication, determination got him this far."
Isaac's football injury left him paralyzed from the waist down. Although it changed his world forever, Isaac's goals remained the same.
"Isaac gets stronger every day. His hard work and determination got him back in the weight room, and a high school diploma."
Sitting with his classmates, friends and surrounded by family, Isaac earned his high school diploma.
"He has such determination. I think he's holding everybody up. I really do because he is so independent you know. I think he's doing more than we ever thought he could."
The big day for this graduating class of 2013 turned emotional when valedictorian Amy Miller read her speech.
Through heart wrenching words and tears Amy talked about Isaac.
"We're such a small class that when things like that happen you know everyone just pitches in and we all hold each other up and that's just what I wanted to come across in my speech."
"We've always felt the kids and the class would come around and support him and to see her share, that really speaks for the class, it's awesome."
It's been a long, tough road for the Pfeifer's and their community, but spirits are up. Finally back home, is right where they want to be.

ELKHART LAKE, WI, JUNE 2 - Monster Energy Graves Yamaha's Josh Hayes dropped the hammer with about 14 minutes to go in Superbike qualifying to set a new lap record, then lowered it to take a no doubt fifth pole position in a row at the Subway Superbike Doubleheader at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin.
Hayes has been dominant in qualifying all season and this weekend is no different. Having taken the provisional pole with a time that was nearly a lap record, Hayes improved on the time to go to 2:11.333 mins., the best ever qualifying time. The fastest ever lap of Road America (2:11.208 mins.) was set by Mat Mladin in the second Superbike leg in 2006.
"It's pretty cool," Hayes said. "It's like I said yesterday, it's a good show of how far the technology's come in that few years that we're so much closer to a Superstock-spec machine.
"And Dunlop's still giving us good rubber and we're able to chip away at that. And I guess you wouldn't think this would be the track where something like that would happen, but then again, with just the hard braking and stuff like that maybe it is kinda the kind of track where it would work out.
"I'm happy with how things are going. It's really cool to get that. But my primary thing is still just to try to make sure I can stay out in front and beat these boys."
With just over seven minutes to go, Yoshimura Suzuki's Blake Young took over second with a lap of 2:12.908 mins., a gap of 1.575 sec. to Hayes. MotorcycleSuperstore.com/Attack Performance's Steve Rapp put the Kawasaki into third soon after, dropping Jordan Suzuki's Ben Bostrom to fourth.
But Rapp wouldn't improve his time and lost out on third to Monster Energy Graves Yamaha's Josh Herrin, who'd been second on Friday. Herrin improved his overnight time, but just barely; by .008 sec.
That put him third on the grid in front of Bostrom, whose Saturday time was .4 sec. faster that he'd gone on Friday.
National Guard Jordan Suzuki's Roger Lee Hayden crashed again-he'd crashed three times last weekend at Miller Motorsports Park. Still, he qualified on the row two pole on the strength of his Friday time. Team Amsoil/Hero's Geoff May (EBR) was fifth fastest, also from his Friday time, with MotorcycleSuperstore.com/Attack Performance's Steve Rapp (Kaw) seventh fastest. Larry Pegram didn't improve on his Friday time of 2:14.070 mins. He ended up eighth overall.

Dear Diary, Don't Tell My Husband
The diary-excerpts read at the divorce trial seethed with furtive passion. Were they evidence of adultery or literary invention?
In "The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher" (2008), the English writer Kate Summerscale reconstructed a hideous real-life crime, the murder of a 4-year-old boy in the very heart of the Victorian home. With "Mrs. Robinson's Disgrace," she returns to the Victorian era, this time to recount a notorious divorce case, one of the first in Britain's brand-new divorce courts.
For centuries, divorce in Britain had required an act of Parliament, a legal possibility that only the very motivated and the very rich could use to their advantage. When the divorce courts opened in 1858, hundreds of middle-class people filled them and gave a new flavor to scandal. Robinson v. Robinson and Lane was a particularly striking case.
The outward story seems almost banal. In 1837, the lively Isabella Walker married a navy lieutenant almost twice her age who, after giving her a son, went mad and conveniently died. The widow was married again two years later to Henry Robinson, an entrepreneurial engineer—he designed steam-powered ships and sugar-cane mills. He gave her two further sons but no satisfaction.
Robinson did not share his wife's intellectual interests and proved rapacious about taking control of the money her father had settled on her. She was bored and lonely: "I know not where to turn for help," she wrote, "and a dull load of dejection and nameless oppression weighs down my very soul. . . . My darling boys are the only ray of comfort I possess."
Not quite her "only" ray of comfort, though, for there was also her diary. The inner life she described there was far from banal. It included her fervent reading and meditations on her character faults. Her prose tingled with awareness of sensitive men, especially Edward Lane, a Canadian lawyer living in England who was, at the time, retraining himself as a doctor.
In Isabella's diary, any momentary intimacy—a shared walk or carriage ride—could grow into an elaborate narrative. Edward Lane figured prominently: "I shall not relate ALL that passed, suffice it to say I leaned back at last in silent joy in those arms I had so often dreamed of and kissed the curls and smooth face, so radiant with beauty, that had dazzled my outward and inward vision." The diary, excerpts of which were read at the divorce trial, seethed with furtive passion. "By channeling her strong and unruly feelings into this book," Ms. Summerscale writes, "Isabella . . . found herself telling a story, a serial in daily parts, in which she was the wronged and desperate heroine."
Mrs. Robinson's Disgrace
By Kate Summerscale
(Bloomsbury, 303 pages, $26)
Part of Ms. Summerscale's purpose, in "Mrs. Robinson's Disgrace," is to investigate the veracity of the diary, but she also traces various enthusiasms in Victorian society, not only diary writing but phrenology and homeopathy and vogue theories about sex—all of which, by one tangent or another, played a role in the divorce case and its public reception. The storytelling impulse itself may have played the biggest role of all.
By the mid-19th century, there was a tradition of novels—like Charlotte Lennox's "The Female Quixote" (1752) and Jane Austen's "Northanger Abbey" (1817)—warning female readers against modeling their lives on novels. The seduction of fictional tales, it was feared, might transform what was merely romantic into something dangerously erotic. (Flaubert's "Madame Bovary" appeared the year before Mr. Robinson sued for divorce.) Isabella, Ms. Summerscale believes, "recreated the thrill of transgression."
Ah—the "thrill of transgression"! But had Isabella transgressed in fact? Her husband, reading her diaries when she was laid low by fever, saw adultery there. The trial judges were less certain about what kind of evidence the diary contained: Facts? Insane ravings? Isabella's lawyer suggested that she "supposed she was writing a sort of novel, in which she evidently thought the scenes she described would have formed an appropriate climax." The question was (one imagines the title of a Trollopian novel): "Did She or Didn't She?" On her way to answering the question, Ms. Summerscale moves through possible trysts in gardens and hansom cabs to consider Isabella's position within the shifting social world of mid-Victorian Britain.
Cut off from the embedded communities of her grandmother and mother, who had helped manage their husbands' estates and took an interest in the welfare of the people living on them, Isabella had only a few servants to manage in the city houses that she and her husband briefly inhabited. Her husband's "world of manufacture and commerce was closed to her," Ms. Summerscale writes. Like the young Florence Nightingale or the poet-heroine of "Aurora Leigh" (1856), Isabella felt a restless longing to leave a more lasting mark, to do something more than embroider slippers and dress for dinner.
Isabella reveled in having conversations about science or philosophy with the gentlemen while the wives tended their babies. She adopted outward signs for the difference she discerned in herself, like smoking cigars. But if she put some of her talent into her life, she put what genius she had into her diary. At the trial, the judges cleared the court when certain passages were read aloud; some newspapers refused to print even these extracts because Isabella's scenarios were (as one editor put it) "penned with a degree of descriptive ability which renders them most dangerous reading."
Isabella had no appetite for the publicity her diary generated. But the publication of choice tidbits whetted the public's appetite for ever more disclosures of private indiscretions, real or imagined. By 1895, Oscar Wilde had the self-satisfied Cecily Cardew remark about her diary in "The Importance of Being Earnest": "It is simply a very young girl's record of her own thoughts and impressions, and consequently meant for publication." As for the outcome of Robinson v. Robinson and Lane and the post-trial fate of its participants: Was justice done? Life doesn't provide endings as tidy as Victorian novels do, but the clear-eyed, unsentimental Ms. Summerscale has told a story as thrilling and complex as the best of them.
Ms. Mullen writes for the Hudson Review and other publications.

Providers and manufacturers predicted there would be major job losses in states where providers go out of business and where manufacturers adjust to the reduced demand in nearly fifty percent of the market.
The rationale CMS uses to justify the prepayment program is reducing fraud, claims errors, and improper payments. But the new prepayment review program will not address those problems. The power mobility community has made numerous recommendations to CMS for preventing errors and fraud in this area – but they have been ignored. The root causes of the error rate in the power mobility sector are complicated rules and the subjectivity of the Medicare claims reviewers. Moreover, Medicare's process for auditing claims is expensive, inefficient, and distorts the error rate for power wheelchairs and other home medical equipment claims.
Tyler Wilson urged that CMS work with the power mobility community to derive a system that will curtail fraud, while allowing providers to keep their doors open. He noted support for pending legislation, HR 3399, The Fighting Fraud and Abuse to Save Taxpayer Dollars Act (FAST Act), which would establish an electronic prior authorization program along with a clinical medical necessity template.
"We understand the need to prevent fraud and abuse," Wilson said. "But it can't be done through capricious actions that hurt Medicare beneficiaries and providers."

Shigeru Miyamoto has more than just Mario and Zelda on his plate these days. The man behind Nintendo's most famous characters says he's working on some exciting new projects, including something new and original, as well as that long-promised Pikmin sequel.
In an interview with Zoom.in, Miyamoto reportedly reaffirmed development of Pikmin 3–bound for the Wii U–as well as an "undisclosed original title."
Mr. Miyamoto revealed in 2008 that he was making a new Pikmin game.
"People have come to expect a lot from me. This certainly makes me feel some pressure," Miyamoto explained. "But if you ask me, 'Is it too much pressure to try to come out with something new?' I have to say no, I'm enjoying myself. But when I make something I always try to do my best."
In an interview with Wired's Game|Life last year, Miyamoto said he intended to begin work on a new original project in 2012.
"What I really want to do is be in the forefront of game development once again myself," Miyamoto said. "Probably working on a smaller project with even younger developers. Or I might be interested in making something that I can make myself, by myself. Something really small."
Miyamoto explained that his new project would unlikely be something "that require[s] a five-year development time."

EL PASO NORTHERN RAILWAY. The El Paso Northern Railway Company was chartered on September 13, 1894, to acquire the former Kansas City, El Paso and Mexican Railroad Company of Texas. The latter railroad, which had completed a ten-mile line from El Paso to Lanoria on December 1, 1888, had been bought by Jay Gould at foreclosure on April 28, 1892. Following Gould's death in December of that year, the executors of his estate conveyed the railroad to Charles Satterlee, who, in turn, conveyed it to the El Paso Northern. The initial capital was $300,000, and the business office was in El Paso. Members of the first board of directors included George J. Gould of Lakewood, New Jersey; Edwin Gould of New York; Satterlee of Brooklyn, New York; Charles R. Morehead of El Paso, and William H. Abrams, L. S. Thorne, and E. L. Sargent, all from Dallas. On November 16, 1897, the line was acquired by Charles B. Eddy in the interest of the El Paso and Northeastern Railroad Company.

George Foreman lands TV Land reality show
Somehow, you just knew this was coming, right?
TV Land has ordered a pilot for Family Foreman, which will follow ex-heavweight boxer and Foreman Grill head George Foreman and his family. The pilot will start filming at the end of this month. It's part of several new reality shows that TV Land has coming up, including a show about high school reunions and another about turning 40. Ugh. At least the article above says that Star Trek and M*A*S*H* reruns are also coming to the network.
I wonder if the network will have some sort of guide to the characters that you can download from their web site, since Foreman doesn't just have one son named George but five. Also, they need some sort of contest where you can get a new Foreman Grill. Mine has a lot of wear and tear on it and I could use a new one, maybe one of those megasize ones where you can fit 10 burgers at once.

Christy knew our desire to obtain a certain property and was diligent until she found a willing seller. She also kn ew the area very well and showed us plenty of other homes and never got frustrated.

Ratings & Reviews
Christy has been amazing! She is very energetic and enthusiastic, and just lovely. She took in all the details of what I would and wouldn't like to have in a condo and gave me some options. Then by my reactions to those – she kept narrowing down the criteria until she knew exactly what I was after. To be honest, some things she realized even before I did. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a condo here in Atl area.
Christy was a huge help in my home buying process, she is a hard worker, patient, and communicates very well. I don't think I would have ended up with the home of my dreams without her help. Through our several month process of home searching and negotiating she remained patient and always willing to go above and beyond to help us out. I love that Christy always gave us her personal opinion along with her real estate expertise, it is a very trustworthy characteristic. Along with this, she always responded to e-mails and phone calls as soon as possible and was very easy to get in touch with. This made everything easier as a home buyer, as well as expedited the process. I would definitely recommend Christy to someone searching for their new home.
Christy was great! She was extremely helpful, patient, and honest. We saw several Buckhead homes with Christy and truly enjoyed exploring the housing market with her. Although we have not found our perfect home just yet, we hope to continue working with Christy until we find it! Thanks, Christy!!
I was a first time home buyer and Christy went above and beyond to make my experience a great one. She makes sure you always feel comfortable. Her knowledge of condos in the Buckhead area was impressive- the first time I met her I told her what I was looking for and she immediatly took me to places that fit not only what I wanted, but places that were well within my price range. She moved the process along quickly and guided me every step of the way. I am so happy in my new home and have Christy to thank!
I feel VERY fortunate to be working with Christy . Not only does she have a great knowledge of the Market in Atlanta but I feel confident that she understands our motive to find the perfect place for the perfect price ! . She Seems to have that perfect balance of being professional , tough, and honest while at the same time is warm and sensitive to what we are looking for . Thank you Christy for your unending patience !!!! We LOVE working with you . You are WONDERFUL ! :)
Christy has a great personal balance between fun and professional. She was a pleasure to work with as I was looking at homes, and a professionally persistent asset for me once the offer had been filed. I felt like I got a friend as well as an advocate in the buying process. Her organizational skills and bias for action are enviable. I would strongly recommend her for someone who wants an honest and down-to-earth agent.

Ross Waits For Word On Tax and Budget Deal
Published: Saturday, December 22, 2012 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, December 23, 2012 at 2:56 a.m.
LAKELAND | U.S. Rep. Dennis Ross, R-Lakeland, made it home for Christmas holiday Friday, earlier than he thought he would.
But he is waiting by the phone to learn whether he will fly back to Washington.
Members of the Republican-controlled U.S. House thought they'd be wrangling with the Democrat-controlled Senate through Saturday over Speaker John Boehner's Plan B, a fallback plan to avoid automatic tax increases and spending cuts on Jan. 1.
But Boehner pulled his bill instead of taking a vote after it appeared Thursday afternoon his own party members in the House would not pass it.
"I have to give him credit for the courage it took to pull it. Had it gone to a vote and been defeated it would have been drastic," Ross said.
Ross said he "probably" would have voted against the speaker's bill.
"(The Republican leadership) first brought up the Spending Reduction Act that we passed in August and it passed by only three votes (Thursday)," Ross said, "and it was more than the usual conservatives in the party who voted against it."
Ross said the Republican Party may now have found itself in a no-win situation.
"The Republicans are going to get blamed if they support raising taxes on the top 1 percent of wage earners and they are going to get blamed if we go over the cliff," he said referring to the automatic tax increases and spending cuts.
"That is probably the political path the president intended all along," he said. "People will become incensed at the tax increases and he can send to Congress a bill, which will be basically his bill to remove the tax increases just on everyone under the $250,000-a-year salary level."
Ross said members of Congress would get a 48-hour notice to return after Christmas if a deal can be reached between President Barack Obama and the Republicans in the House.

They need to form some type of mathematical model around emptiness and the mind; that every eastern tradition speaks about.

It appears that the 2013 entry numbers for World Superbikes may be the smallest ever in the competition's history, prompting fears that the competition may be facing issues that occurred in MotoGP, when fewer manufacturer teams were willing to participate.
So far, only nineteen riders have signed up to be on the starting grid for the first round of the competition at Phillip Island, compared with twenty-three this year. It appears that the low figures can be explained by the loss of the Effenbert Liberty Racing Team and with nobody sure when they will make their return, figures may stay low for some time.

wife to DH and mama to Kaden 1/1/06 and Jagger 4/21/12
due 9/4/13
My hubby and i have been together for 6 years and finally got married this summer. We are a blended family with three children 15, 10 and 8. I had my IUD taken out after 6+ years on November 16th. I had it taken out the week I was ovulating. I'm just anxious, been waiting for this for a long time. Well, I got my first period in years on Dec 4th. Now the ovulation caluclator is telling me between 15 - 20 Dec.
would someone mind spelling these acrynomys out for me?
Oh and how accrate is the 5 day ovulation window?
I'm not sure about the ovulation calendar, it depends on the accuracy of your reporting and the predictability of your cycles.
I read somewhere that all cases of pregnancy can be traced to sex during the 5 days leading up to and including the day of ovulation. But, you have to predict your ovulation correctly to get in that window. If you are getting fertile mucus, that is a pretty good way of assuring you are nearing ovulation. Good luck!
Here are the acronyms you asked for:
dpo=days past ovulation
afm= as for me
dh= dear husband
ds= dear son (and obv. dd = dear daughter)
cd= cycle day
you'll also see
cf/cm= cervical fluid/cervical mucus
ewcm= egg white cervical mucus
bfn= big fat negative (on preg. test)
bfp= big fat positive
Sparkle Maman, I knew it was wishful thinking, I just needed someone else to remind me, thanks. Your theory about it being leftover hormones from ovulation is probably right - the pain/sensitivity is now gone. I hope it's at least a good sign that I likely ovulated this month. Wishing you a BFP this cycle or else peace with your decision to stop trying.
14, I think. Based on a 25 day cycle. I'm not 100% I O'd when I was "supposed to" on the 26 of Nov. We DTD on the 26th and 28th (I think). I had what I believe was implantation cramping on the 5th of Dec, and some the next day as well. I got a BFP on 14 dpo with my daughter and that was based on a 28 day cycle, but only because I wasn't having regular cycles and that was default. I tested 5 days before AF was "due" with her and got a BFN. I am a little worried that maybe I was pregnant but the pregnancy didn't "take." Maybe I should have stopped drinking coffee entirely instead of just cutting back, but it's hard to quit that stuff cold turkey! I know if that is the case I will blame myself.

~We may not have it all together ♥ but together we have it all~
Thank you for the break down of words. :-) I did guess a few of them. yes, i am confident i was O on the 17th of last month, my CM was thick like egg yoke.
AFM- I'm not really having anything in the way of symptoms. I gagged when brushing my teeth this morning, and was a bit irritable last night. I'm 10 dpo and will test on fri if no period. I never have much in the way of symptoms pre-AF. At this point, I'm starting to think this cycle probably isn't it.
Wife to B since 6/2004, Mama to T (10/11) and C (8/13).
serenyd- don't sweat the coffee, one cup a day is totally fine for healthy women!
sparklmaman- sorry you are feeling overwhelmed. I ttc for 7 months for my first, and I remember being obsessive half my life that whole time. hang in there, and remember you have us to lean on with all those feelings. So many of us have or have had the same ones. FX for you special this month.
auvetmom- I lol when I read your comment about regimented sex and Co sleeping. My 22mo is in my bed most nights. Sex sure is a different game than it was5 years ago, with no kids, and much more booze/sleeping in.
afm, testing in the am, will update.
thx for checking out my squinter!
Thanks! And congrats on your BFP.

~We may not have it all together ♥ but together we have it all~
Sorry if this is TMI, but I had a thought ... is it possible my urine could have been too dilute? I peed in a cup to test (don't trust my aim!) and filled a full 16 oz with fmu (at 5 am) and about another 12 oz with smu (8 or 9 am). I used a FRER with the fmu and a Clear Blue Easy digital with the smu and both came back neg. What do you think I should do? I ordered some more FRERs but they won't be here until Wednesday and I wasn't planning to test until Thursday am.

I see a line on that second test too Congrats and just in time for Christmas!!
I'm a bit concerned as all the opk's I've seen on here when positive seem to go VERY dark and mine doesn't, it goes just about as dark as the control line and one side of the test line is a bit darker but it's hard to tell. It doesn't go as dark as all your guys tests do ...any thoughts on that? Surely it is still a positive right? otherwise it wouldn't gradually get darker and darker then fade away the next day, it's still showing the LH surge right? I have temped this cycle and my temp went up by .2 after the positive opk for a few days, but some charts I've seen go up by .5. would it be worth me checking it with the digital opk's you guys are using too? to make sure. Anyone recommend any? and how many uses do you get out of them?
AFM 11 DPO today and expecting AF to be here tomorrow, all tests have been negative so far and I feel really discouraged seeing them so I decided not to test today, I'll just wait for AF instead.
Good Morning, Mamas.
Emily11megan Thank you for your kind words.
Serenyd Like you, I have wondered a lot this month and last if I messed something up, if perhaps conception/implantation had occurred and this/these was/were a loss?
I stared at 5 days worth of BFNs before AF arrived, right on time, this morning. I was really confident that the O-like pinchy/pokey/crampy feelings I had last Tuesday and Wednesday (opposite side from where I know I O'd this month) were implantation. It seemed so right on timing-wise and not typical for me in the symptom spotting mode of the TWW. This is 7 months of consuming thoughts around TTC (and convincing myself each TWW, this is it!) and 5 months of diligently charting, OPK use and well timed BDing. I know this is NOTHING compared to the time many mamas here spend TTC. My DH has again (infuriatingly) changed his mind around this whole process. Knowing this made this month's TWW especially high stakes, so to speak.I know I said earlier I was feeling okay, or trying to feel okay, with all of it.Today I am not feeling okay with it. My DH has always been satisfied with the idea of having an only child, even before we were married. In fact, this was a huge source of contention just before we became engaged and then before we were married. I was clear this was a deal breaker for me, I knew I would NOT be content with only 1; I was thinking more of 4-5! He insisted he'd agree to and try for at least 2. To say I feel hurt, mislead, betrayed would all be understatements. So I find myself, once again, in a rather dark place this month. I keep trying to be okay with it, to accept that I am done and trying so hard to be grateful for all the privilege and blessings in my life. This is proving more difficult that I'd thought as I realize I can be both grateful and sad for the sense of less. A part of me does wonder if the Universe is sending me a message, that if with 5 months of well timed trying, it just isn't meant to be anyway. *Sigh* I am so sorry for the negative energy I am bringing this morning, this just sucks.
I am a Mama who
From fmu today. Darker. Obviously there. I'm calling it, DH...maybe tomorrow :)
Now I'm kinda freaking out; anyone else have 3 kids under 5???
Sparklemaman- I'm so sorry about your emotional roller coaster. I don't have any advice for you, just sending lots of love and hoping you and dh can come to a good place together. (which means that he'll try some more) A loving woman like you deserves to have as many kids as they can, the world needs more wanted and loved kids. Hugs today!
Sorry for your loss. My partner and I have disagreed about family size before too. At rough times in our relationship he has made promises of more kids that he has taken back later. Very disappointing! Maybe your husband would agree to try "not trying but not avoiding" and if it happens, it happens?

Afm- I think I'm finally in the 2ww. Pretty sure I o'd yesterday or day before. Wish I never used the OPK's as I got mixed results which just confuses me on when I actually O'd. So now I'm going off CM which tells me I've o'd and so begins the 2ww. Hoping for a BFP Christmas eve! Would love to buy my 8mo DS a onesie that says "big brother" and have him open it in front of the grandparents on Christmas.
wife to DH and mama to Kaden 1/1/06 and Jagger 4/21/12
due 9/4/13
I'm going to try to hold out on testing until Friday. My FRERs get here tomorrow, so it will definitely take all my willpower! I have plenty to keep me busy the next few days though, so hopefully that will take my mind off it. Not to mention I have not even started Xmas shopping for the kids. I know what I want to get but I still need to order it.

Anyone have pretty bad cramps randomly? I'm on CD13 now, have not ovulated, and this morning I woke up to take my temp and was greeted with some pretty bad cramps. Not sure what those were all about. They are gone now though. Hmmm. Time to google I guess haha.
Good luck Serenyd! Let us know what happens
My breasts don't seem as sore as they were, but I'm still getting dizzy spells, and I'm extra tired and cranky, and hungry. It is CD 27 for me. My cycles having been shorter lately (25-26 days) and I very rarely go over 28 days. So very curious to see what the next few days will bring. My FRERs get here today and it's going to be so hard for me to wait, but at the same time, I want to wait, because I don't want to be disappointed again!

Congrats Emily!
Sparklemaman, lots of
AFM- This morning DS sat on my stomach and rocked around saying "rockabee rockabee". I asked if he was rocking a baby and he just laughed and ran away... I had to test and I got the faintest line... I think I'm 10 or 11 dpo. Sorry the picture is sideways, not sure how that happened! Anyone see my faint little line?
cancer-beating wife to DH since 7/4/09, mother to DS 5/1/11 + DD 8/21/2013
(4/09) (5/12)
Serenyd- Good luck to you!! You have some major will power as I'd probably test as soon as I'd get them in the mail. I'm going to try and hold out until Christmas eve which would make me 13dpo. I might do the 22nd... but I think that's the earliest.
Mamapiegon- I'm sorry but I don't see a line, I also inverted it in photobucket and don't see any color. It's still early. Wait until tomorrow or the next day and test again. You also might see it better in person, but unfortunately I don't see anything. Best of luck and hoping it's really a BFP for you!!!

Why Robert Pattinson And Kristen Stewart Are The Best Couple In Hollywood
When it comes to Breaking Dawn stars, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, affectionately known as "Robsten" their real-life romance has been met with mixed reviews. We get it, everyone wants to hate on Kristen because she's the lucky gal to capture Rob's heart. However, we happen to adore the pair who have managed to keep their relationship rock solid and drama free under the prying eyes of Hollywood. With Valentines Day only a few days away, here are the top ten reasons why they deserve the title of Hollywood's perfect couple!
1. They Don't Dress To Impress
Have you seen any pics of these two out and about? If it's not a red carpet, Robsten is perfectly content hanging out in their uniform of jeans, plain t-shirts and comfortable shoes. Rob's hair is perma-bed head and Kristen has hers pulled back in a messy pony tail or tucked under a hooded sweatshirt. Clearly the pair have seen enough of each other dolled up for public events that they pass up the peacocking and just go for enjoying each other's company.
2. They Put Their Careers First
Ever notice how Rob and Kristen haven't passed up or taken on any movie roles based on how far apart they'll be from each other? Sure, they play opposite each other in the Twilight series, but now that filming for the series is over, Rob and Kristen just use all their frequent flyer miles to meet up when they start missing each other too much.
3. They're Gorgeous
Is there anything more to say? Pretty people are nice to look at and when they are dating each other...::cue head explosion:: Nuff said.
4. They Don't Talk About Their Relationship
While most celeb couples tend to break the cardinal rule of Hollywood dating, Robsten has never revealed much about their romance other than what the paparazzi catches. Come to think of it, have they ever actually said out loud, "Yes, we are dating!" Didn't think so.
5. They Don't Frequent Da Clubs
A Robsten sighting is hard to come by, because they don't whore out their celebrity by frequenting seedy Hollywood hot spots to be seen. It's a true testament to how rad they are. They just don't care about the spotlight and care more about being somewhere low-key with close friends.
6. They Have Cool Attitudes
We love these two because they're just cool. They're both a little aloof, awkward and down to earth. Basically, they're the couple we all want to double date with and have as our BFFs.
7. They Don't Acknowledge Hollywood Rumors
While other celebs in the spotlight will be quick to dispel rumors of babies, marriage, infidelity and broken hearts, Robsten doesn't waste time feeding into Hollywood gossip about them. We love their confidence!
8. They Don't Take Part In Social Networking
Celebrities love to interact with their fans. whether it be a Facebook fan page, their Twitter or Instagram. Rob and Kristen get major props for not taking part in any of this and stick to keeping themselves more of a mystery to their fans.
9. They Don't Try To Upstage Eachother
Some Hollywood couples don't make it because they let their egos get in the way. Rob and Kristen have always shown nothing but genuine support for the other and their respective projects.
10. They Are Genuinely In Love
For all the reasons listed above, it all comes down to Robsten having the kind of relationship we all want to be in and have last forever.
To celebrate the release Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 Walmart is inviting Twilight fans to celebrate with special giveaways*, movie trivia and a bakery stocked with Twilight-themed treats. Click HERE to find your party!
Do you think Rob and Kristen are Hollywood's most perfect couple?

Southern Utah officials call for state control of federal lands
The government shutdown destroyed millions of dollars of revenue in southern Utah, and it's up to Utah politicians to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Or at least, that was the message delivered Wednesday by southern Utah officials to a state commission meeting in Salt Lake City. The officials included representatives from Garfield, Washington, Piute and San Juan counties, all of whom were clear that the shutdown cost Utah tax revenue and may have damaged the state's tourist economy.
Their solution: having Utah assume control of federal lands so people aren't locked out again.
"We literally had people breaking down emotionally because they couldn't get into the parks," Garfield County Commissioner Leland Pollock said at Wednesday's meeting.
According to Pollock, 70 percent of the tax revenue and 41.9 percent of the jobs in Garfield County comes from tourism. During the shutdown that revenue dried up, which Pollock described as "catastrophic" for the region.
State economists have said the shutdown cost Utah's tourism industry about $30 million.
Pollock also said the shutdown was merely the latest problem to come from federal control of Utah lands. He explained that North America's largest coal reserve is located in Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, but it can't be reached or developed something Pollock would like to see happen because the area is owned by the federal government.
Other leaders also lamented the problems with federal control of Utah land, as exemplified by the government shutdown. Washington County Commissioner Alan Gardner said sheriff's deputies were going to break the locks barring access to the national parks during the shutdown, but abandoned the plan when federal officials indicated they would file criminal charges against the deputies.
Instead, the county lost money until Gov. Gary Herbert spearheaded a plan to re-open the parks with state funds.
Gardner added that 32.8 percent of the jobs in Kane County and 21.7 percent of the jobs in Washington County depend on tourism. About 3 million people visit Zion National Park each year, Gardner said, which translates to about 10,000 people per day. That generates about $40 million a year in tax revenue for Washington County alone, Gardner argued.
"The only solution is transferring the lands to the state," he added.
Gardner and Pollock both pointed to HB148, from the 2012 legislative session, as the type of solution that helps their counties. The bill, signed by Herbert, demanded the federal government turn over Utah lands to the state.
Other officials delivered a similar message Wednesday. Uintah County Commissioner Michael McKee said the shutdown forced the closure of oil wells, cutting revenue by hundreds of millions of dollars. And Kelly Pearson, a representative from San Juan County, said hotels and restaurants emptied out during the shutdown.
Jean Seiler, a representative of Ruby's Inn in Garfield County, also attended the meeting and said the shutdown cost his business about $500,000 in direct business as well as up to $300,000 in indirect business.
"Our fall season has really dramatically changed," he said.
Seiler also said Ruby's Inn, wanting to be helpful, put police tape up to help bar access to the parks. However, days later Seiler returned and saw that the tape had been replaced by barbed wire. The extreme attempt to keep people out of the park surprised Seiler, who added Wednesday that international tourists could lose confidence in the parks if the shutdown repeated.

The popular Windows Phone game 3D Marble Tracks has just landed on the Windows 8 platform and is available for download right now from the Windows Store.
The game supports not only the desktop version of Windows 8, but also Windows RT, which means that Surface RT owners can install it too.
The game is obviously available for free, but some ads are displayed at the top of the screen. It supports both touch and non-touch devices, but for the best experience, it's recommended to play it on a tablet.
We've already tried it on our Surface RT and it goes without saying that it's quite an addicting game. The goal is the same as on the Windows Phone platform: complete the track with less throws than any other opponent.

Problem with Outlook todist show projects
When I opened Outlook 2010 today the todoist panel was blank except for a bar just below the top that had a show projects link. Nothing happened when I clicked on it.

|Pollard A Blue Devil, Really?
|Written by Staff Reports

There are reports that Appalachian State University baseball coach Chris Pollard will be named the new baseball coach at Duke. Pollard replaces Sean McNally, who resigned after seven seasons with the Blue Devils. Pollard will be introduced as the Duke's new head coach at a press conference later this afternoon.
Pollard, who spent eight years at ASU, led the Mountaineers to their first Southern Conference title since 1984, and the NCAA Regionals this season---their first post-season appearance since 1986. The Mountaineers also came within one win of reaching the Super Regionals, but they were swept by Oklahoma in the Charlottesville Regional finals. The Mountaineers also won a school record 41 games this season.
In seven seasons at Duke, McNally compiled an overall record of 192-198-1 (.491), including a 63-145-1 (.301) mark in the ACC. The Blue Devils completed the 2012 season with a 21-34 ledger. Duke finished last in the ACC standings with a 9-21 conference mark and failed to make the eight-team ACC Tournament for the sixth time in seven years. It was the second straight losing season for McNally after four consecutive winning campaigns.
