A Little Nervous and Restless
Tuesday, March 05, 2013
Alright. I have to get something off my chest here. I am a nervous wreck. Even to the point that I woke up in the middle of the night trying to catch my breath last night. I understand exactly why I'm feeling this way, because my DH decoded my thoughts. I'm going to spend several days with my parents next week, and I will be alone with them--this could be bad folks. Let me explain...
My parents have been known to be very harsh critics of my life, particularly where my weight is concerned (especially my dad). Several, more than I can count, comments have been made about my weight over the years. Now, as all of you know, I have been fighting the good fight against my weight for a long time and was making no progress. Then I wound up pg, and I certainly haven't been weighing on a daily basis. The problem is, because I wasn't completely where I needed to be, and because I gain weight (and always have) in my stomach, I already have a huge looking stomach in this pregnancy. When all those muscles began relaxing that I had worked so hard to tighten up, my belly just started to really hang out there, and add to it the continuing growth, and I am already showing. I can just imagine all of the comments that will ensue. And I won't have my protector/warrior with me this time. My knight and shining armor is sending me away so he can finish up some of the chemical processes in our remodel that I cannot be around while pregnant. This will be the first time I'm spending with my parents alone since before my DH came into my life over 3 years ago. He's always so good at diverting their negativity with alternate conversation without sounding like a jerk. They LOVE my DH...sometimes I think more than me! No....really.
In all honesty, I am not trying to have a pity party here. I'm just so scared they are going to make comments about my increasing weight. I don't think it will matter if I tell them I'm still eating healthy and being careful not to pig out. I can imagine them thinking "yeah...right." I really hope none of this comes true. The last visit we had with them, they really behaved and kept all nasty comments to themselves. It was actually a nice visit! So, I'm hoping this time will be pleasant, but who knows? They aren't exactly overjoyed at my pregnancy either, so I'm not too sure what to expect. I know I'm excited! I can hardly stand the excitement of my baby! I go in next week for an ultrasound!!!
So, think of me as I go on Friday--I'm so hopeful that it will go well. In the mean time, I hope I can relax about it and get some rest.
Hope all of you have a wonderful week!

Oh ,I can relate in many ways to your anxiety on this one! For me, it is my mom. Even though she may not always make comments out loud, I can see it in here eyes. Please, please do your best to block out any negative thoughts they may say out loud. I know this is hard, but you have to realize you are your own person. You are not under their roof any more and they no longer control you. You make the decisions that are right for you. Look at all those wonderful accomplishments you mentioned for February! Do your best to focus on the positive, and may be even though your husband isn't there, the baby can divert some of that attention for you instead!
Good luck!

No matter how old we get, we still care about what our parents say to us. Why is that?
With any luck, the reason that the last visit went so well is that they are really trying. Let's hope this is the case, and that this visit will be a positive one.
Here are some things to try if you get a negative comment:
1. What would DH do? You've seen him deflect. Can you do it to?
2. Agree with what they say. "Golly, you're right. I am a PIG! How did I not recognize this before. I think I'd better console myself by eating a side of beef and a pound cake."
3. Acknowledge and redirect. "Thanks for being concerned about my health." Then change the subject.
4. Ask questions. "What would you do in my position? How do you think I should address my weight issue?"
5. Don't engage at all. Immediately change the subject. "Have you seen any good movies lately?"
6. Fake getting a phone call. "Hang on, I've got to get this." And leave the room.
7. Make it about them. Depending on their current size "Have you ever had a weight issue? What did you do?" or "What are you doing about your weight?"
The goals I am thinking of here are preventing you from feeling defensive, or getting into an argument on whether or not you are looking as slender as possible. It seems like they are either trying to hurt you or are trying to help you. If they are trying to hurt you, letting them see you hurt is a win for them. If they are trying to help you, but are just really bad at it, then you can guide them into a more positive approach.
There is always the direct, honest approach. "I see you are commenting on my weight again. This has been happening since I was ____. It makes me feel (ugly, sad, angry, unloved, etc.), and I get defensive. I am making positive changes in my life. I need you to support me in this."
Good luck.

Totally get where you are coming from, and sorry this has to be. Stress sure isn't what you need during your pregnancy. All you can do is show by example when you get there that you are eating healthy and you are trying to keep up with whatever exercise you are able to do. Its hard to believe parents not getting excited about a grandchild, usually they are wondering when the first one will be coming! I am sincerely hoping they don't give you attitude and treat you well when you are there.

I think it is okay to say to someone (even a parent) please, if you have nothing supportive to say to me, don't say anything at all. Love me for who I am or take a hike. Whatever the case may be I wish you loads of luck and may a strong energy field of positive vibes surround you and your perfect body at all times. ~~~~~~~~~~

Caiti, my thoughts and prayers go with you and I hope you are suprised by happiness with your family during your visit. I hope they don't say anything negative about your weight when it already makes you uncomfortable. I hope they just look past that and look at the real you, who is a precious, sweet lady!

Nothing worse than unsupportive family that you can't escape from. Why not try confronting them about how you feel - it's easier said than done I know.
If you find yourself in a defensive position take a deep breath and try calmly explaining that their attitude leaves a lot to be desired, and perhaps they could do with focusing their attention on the exciting times you're going through rather than trying to pick holes.
Ask yourself, what are they trying to gain by making you feel bad? What are those comments really masking, because I bet they're actually not about you at all.
Worst come to worst just think about your gorgeous home and the new family you're creating.

I feel ya! I have really bad anixety issues and the worse things about them is my own mother is the trigger....I hate having to see her sometime just because I am not sure of the mood she will be in. SHe has bad anxiety/depression and jelousy issues. She is working on her own weight loss goals and when she hit a cetain weight my dad is taking her to Europe. Well she has also wanted to go to Hawaii and when she found out I was going she has been cold shouldered to me ever since. i feel like i have to walk on eggshell around her.

Thanks so much for this NumberedEquation style. I was trying to use
the EquationNumbered in Mathematica and it would break and do weird
things and I got tired of trying to figure out what the problem was.
Your's works fine. Thanks so much!!!
This way of doing equation numbering is easier than David Park's
Presentations package (just using styles instead of several other
Mathematica functions) but Park's way has advantages as it "remembers"
equations and associates them with names that can be invoked without
using tags. More work but more versatile.

Words From The Wild: Focus On Victims
Written by Devon Boen
In the wake of a tragedy, things can quickly turn political. I wanted to focus this column on what matters the most, but generally gets pushed aside. I wanted to focus on the victims, particularly those who lost their limbs in the Boston bombings last week.
We all saw the gruesome photos. Many of us weren't used to seeing such a brutal event captured on film. The media has been heavily controlled in that aspect for a long time. But, thanks to the advent of social media, the event was seen around the world — for better or worse.
One of the worst photos was taken of Jeff Bauman Jr., a 27-year-old man who was there to watch his girlfriend finish the race. Both his legs were blown off. He can be seen being wheeled away, pale and dazed and covered in blood.
He might be the focal point of the most iconic photograph to come out of the tragedy, but dozens of others lost limbs.
I started thinking about how just like any other attack, the general public tends to turn it into a concept or a political meaning and the victims get pushed into the shadows and forgotten. Not by all, but by many.
I wanted to shed a little light on the process of becoming an amputee and its related difficulties and staggering costs.
The amputees will have to allow several weeks or longer for their injuries to heal before they can be fitted for a prosthesis. The fitting is extremely important. It can help prevent issues during rehabilitation. One would think simply losing a leg or an arm would be their biggest stress during such a horrible time in their life, but that isn't always the case.
Prosthetic limbs are extremely expensive. They can range from a very basic design that runs several thousand, up to $100,000. The problem is, most insurance companies only pay for one very basic prosthetic limb, according to a New York Times article, War and Sports Shape Artificial Limbs. Most amputees require several prosthetic limbs over a lifetime since most last three to four years.
The article also explains that those who lose limbs in accidents or attacks like Boston have a much harder time than amputees in the military. It said the military often covers a wide range of prosthetics and physical therapy for amputees.
That type of help is what all amputees need. A person should be worried about learning to walk again or how to use a fake arm rather than whether or not they'll receive the health treatment they actually need. And if you're asking whether the steep-priced limbs are worth it — the answer is a resounding "yes."
More advanced limbs can allow an amputee to run, hike, and go up and down stairs without having to physically drag their leg — among other things.
Increased mobility and the ability to complete physical challenges helps amputees recover emotionally. The mental wounds aren't just a physical task that can be mastered over several months.
Losing a limb is one of the most traumatic things that can happen to a person, both mentally and physically.
If you're interested in helping one of the Boston amputee victims, consider donating to a reputable charity or simply writing a letter of support.

Buying boat from the distance via Broker + paperwork/ownership procedure
After looking at the boat in Ohio I made an offer to purchase the boat via email. Broker responded with counter offer from the owner and agreement was made. That was 2 weeks ago. I was expecting Broker to follow up with paperwork right after we make a deal to put it in writing and secure the sale. I was following up with him but was getting responses that paper work will follow shortly. Two weeks later I get the call form the broker that seller has signed the paper and I will get fax shortly to sign the agreement. He also mentioned that he will need power of attorney or something to transfer the ownership/title of the boat. This is my second boat but something seems not right here.
1. Usually broker would send you the agreement so buyer can sign it and will follow up with signature of the seller. Initially you would go back and forth so all the details are captured.
2. Broker will try to do it right away to secure the deal in writing
3. Owner signed agreement I didnt see. What if one of my conditions is missing? We will need to rewrite it again
4. You dont need power of attorney to transfer the ownership/title. Why would he even ask for it?
I have survey scheduled for May 9. I didnt put any deposit yet because I dont have any deal in writing. If I dont have written agreement I was afraid that my deposit becomes a gift
Now I am starting to second guess the deal dont know if broker just take his time or something fishy is going on. Any advice/feedback would be much appreciated.
What is procedure to transfer title of the boat in Ohio?
You are right on 1 & 2 as that pre-purchase agreement stipulates the time frame for everything and conditions. I wouldn't go any further until a faxed copy with the owners signature is received period.
As for the titling - if it is not a US documented boat - do it yourself. All you have to do is have the owner sign the title to you - walk over to DMV and have it transferred. I would though suggest a title search (which you can do yourself as well) to make sure their are no liens on it.
If you are not comfortable with the process - back out and deal with someone whom does business your way would be my suggestion. Plenty of boats out there - and perhaps the lackluster response is because they are busy fixing some items that were listed etc... but who knows....
Thanks Jody, how do i do the title search?
Not sure how things are done in Ohio, but I would be very hesitant (and skeptical) giving a broker power of attorney without reading the fine print of the sales agreement. Documents can be overnighted easily, signatures can be witnessed, so why a need for POA?
Here's a link that might help with the title search http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/Portals/4...forms/8513.pdf
Gotta hand it to the State of Ohio, that title search document is quick, cheap, but what about a lien outside the state?
I hate to be litigious or suggest you proceed with due dilagence, a reputable title search company or dare i say attorney?
But Rick Q's right no need for POA.

As a weapon in the hands of the restless poor
Earl Shorris was a regular contributor to HarperΟΔÄôs Magazine from 1972 until his death in 2012. In 1995, he founded the Clemente Course for the Humanities, a ten-month-long academic program designed to provide college-level literature and philosophy classes to low-income students in New York City. In this essay, published in the September 1997 issue of the magazine, Shorris tells the story of the programΟΔÄôs first two years. There are now twenty-four Clemente Courses operating in the United States. NPRΟΔÄôs report on the Harlem location, which aired in May 2015, can be found here. NPR gave it a good title: 'Learning fpr the Sake of Learning.' They might have called it 'Learning to Save Your Life.'
I feel very proud that the only publisher to support this effort was the independent, employee-owned W. W. Norton. They publish my husband's books.

ONE OF THE LAST GREAT EDUCATION POLICY MAKERS PASSES: Will education pass with him?
Last winter, I read depositions in the Williams case and was stunned to read the testimony and interrogation of Dr. Thomas Sobol, former commissioner of education for New York. Sobol was one of four experts testifying for the students who donated their time and their expertise, without fee. Other experts, and they were numerous, received from $100 to $500 an hour--to testify in endless depositions. And to write expert reports. We're talking very big bucks adding up for the good guys and the bad guys. But of import here is the fact that the state's lawyers gave Sobol a very hard time because his expert report did not cite other expert reports.
Got that? I figured out that one liberal pocketed around $30,000 for testimony.
Sobol declined payment.

Think about it. Think about the Atlanta teacher who was ordered to crawl on the floor and under a desk because her class had low test scores.

Kay's Comment: I love success stories like this one! Bad grades in high school. Failed out of college seven times. Only college degrees are honorary. Inspite of having dyslexia, this dinosaur genius is now a respected scientist. John "Jack" Horner says: "For kids with dyslexia, inoculated in failure, Horner hopes his life is evidence to the contrary. Success, he said, has nothing to do with grades. The interest and the love of a field are what's important."

Steve Forbes: Tax Code Should Not Be Reformed at This Point
Posted by: Dheeraj Grover (IP Logged)
Date: December 12, 2012 09:51AM
Steve Forbes, chairman of Forbes Media, was on CNBC to discuss his views on the fiscal cliff. He said it will not be good to reform the tax code at this point in time.
-- The U.S. economy is not stable yet and revising the tax code at this point will not be good for the economy.
-- This is not a good time to raise taxes on small businesses (main job creator) and capital creation is sheer foolishness.

Poinsettias for me are synonymous with Christmas. Growing up, the house would be filled with poinsettias at this time of year, in every possible color, and then my mom would keep them and nurse them through the year.
This site is devoted to teaching you all about poinsettias. I suggest you start in the Poisonous section and have the myth that poinsettias are poisonous quickly dispelled. Get the facts on these beautiful plants! You'll even learn how having one around the house is beneficial to your health.
On the main page, you can use the arrows to scroll through beautiful pictures of poinsettias, and if you click on them, they will enlarge so you can see that plant better. They are so pretty, it's really worth at least scrolling through all the pictures.
The Decorating section is all about giving you ideas on how to decorate with poinsettias this year. Check it out for excellent inspiration.
The Care section may just be the most important section on the site. Not only does it teach you how to care for your beautiful plant while it is in season, but also how you can re-bloom your poinsettias later on in the year. You can even sign up to get an e-mail reminder of when to start re-blooming them.
History – in this section you get an interesting look back into the past of the Paul Ecke Ranch, their promotion of poinsettias as a holiday plant, and that's just the ranch's history. You can also discover the history of the poinsettia plant, and the legends surrounding it!
The last section I'm going to write about is the How to Choose section. Here you will get excellent advice on how to select the perfect poinsettia for your home.
I couldn't wait to learn more about these beautiful plants and I hope you can't either – check it out today!

Lady Wolves On Winning Streak, Defeat Harlem And Plentywood
Written by Devon Boen
The Lady Wolves gave an excellent performance this week against both Harlem and Plentywood. After coming off of a tough game against Malta last week, the girls came out strong on the basketball court on Tuesday, Jan. 15, against Harlem, winning 50-35.
The Lady Wolves grabbed an early lead in the first quarter, scoring 17 points and only allowing Harlem nine. This energy dwindled slightly in the second quarter and both the Wolves and Harlem scored 10 points. The Wolves went into half-time with an eight-point lead and knew they would need to step up their performance in the second half if they wanted to bring home a win.
Knowing this, Wolf Point scored 15 in the third quarter and kept Harlem's scoring to a minimum, only allowing two baskets to be made by the opponents.
The tables turned in the fourth quarter, with Harlem scoring 12 points and Wolf Point only scoring eight, but the Wildcats' last-ditch attempt wouldn't be enough to defeat the Lady Wolves.
The girls worked hard for the win and Emma Gourneau led the team with 11 points, and Callyn Gourneau followed close behind with 10 points. Christean Holen contributed nine; Alicia Ledeau, five; Sonica Archdale, four; Mariah Weeks, three; and Ashley Page and Sarah Hafner, two each.
The girls kept the momentum going in the Friday, Jan. 18, game against their historic rival, Plentywood. It was a close game right down to the last quarter, but the Lady Wolves came out on top, winning 51-42.
The first half was neck- and-neck with Wolf Point scoring nine points in the first quarter and Plentywood just barely trailing with seven points. No relief was brought in the second quarter for the Lady Wolves. Both teams fought hard and brought home 15 points each, leaving Wolf Point with just a two-point lead going into half-time.
In the second half, Wolf Point increased its lead by two points, scoring 12 in the third quarter over Plentywood's 10 points. In the fourth and most important quarter of the game, Plentywood stayed consistent from the previous quarter, scoring another 10 points, while the Wolves stepped up their intensity and scored 15 points, securing the win.
Weeks helped lead the team to victory with 11 points; Zirahuen Hernandez, 10 points; Emma Gourneau, nine; Callyn Gourneau, six; Archdale, four; Holen, three; and Hafner, two.
Fans can come out and see if the Lady Wolves can continue their victory streak on Thursday, Jan. 24, in Wolf Point against Sidney at 5 p.m. Senior athletes will be honored during this game.
Friday, Jan. 25, the Lady Wolves will face off against Poplar in an away game.

Rebecca Ray's Kentucky Derby Trip
This weekend, Derek, Monica and I were treated to the most wonderful Southern hospitality as we attended the Kentucky Derby and the Kentucky Oaks. I thought the thrill of the year would be designing and having our Rebecca Ray Designs Bags as an Officially Licensed Bag of Derby 140, but getting to go and see the behind the scenes of the Derby was the thrill of a lifetime!! I'm still in a bit of "recovery mode", but I am so excited to share the trip with you!!
We started our weekend on Thursday night, when we arrived at the hotel with hundreds of other guests from all over the country - getting all of the hats in safely was quite a chore. As you can imagine, shopping for the outfits for this weekend of activities is enough to complex anyone!
On Friday morning, we headed off to the track for a day of racing featuring The Oaks, a race for the top fillies that is dedicated to breast cancer research and funding. As the sun was shining, Churchill Downs was bedecked in the most marvelous pink banners and flags. Everyone was wearing pink - it was a beautiful sea of gorgeous dresses and hats decked out in flowers and draping.
We stood on the edge of that legendary paddock watching our friend Jill Byrne, who is Director of Programming and official handicapper of Churchill Downs, tell over a hundred thousand people about her best picks for the day. Later that weekend, Jill was gracious enough to wear her Rebecca Ray Designs Bit Cuff that coordinated beautifully with her Derby Red dress and gorgeous hat.
We finished the night by sitting up in the very posh Turf Room sipping Lilly drinks (a fabulous concoction that involves vodka and cranberry juice) from our commemorative glasses.
By Saturday morning, Derby Day, I had gotten the hat wearing trick down, and we were ready to go again. This time we were sitting in marvelous seats on the ground level of the track, a few boxes back and one furlong off of the finish wire.
All of our lives Derek and I had horses yet neither of us had ever bet on a horse! We received a quick lesson in the lingo and learned how to place a bet- Derek seemed to pick this up very quickly!
During the afternoon, we were treated to a special tour of the Churchill Downs, which included a trip to the inside of the paddock to watch a race prepare while they saddled, bridled and said those famous words, "Riders Up!"
While on the tour we also saw all of the different levels of the building and the various clubs, including the Turf Club and the President's Room, where we viewed the Derby Trophies and all of the those famous sterling Mint Julep cups up close!!
Can't wait for next year's Derby!

In a lease there is always money due at signing because even if one puts zero dollars for a down-payment, they still have to pay the 1st month payment and security deposit (if applicable) at signing.
Multiple security deposits (MSDs) are just what's in the name. You can pay up to 7 times your security deposit upfront. Each one of these 7 security deposit payments decreases your money factor (MF) by 0.0007. So if one makes 7 MSDs, their MF goes down by 0.0049. That is a very significant number which could easily save one hundreds of dollars over the life of their lease (I'm saving a total of about $1700 over the 36 months of my lease). That by the way is way more than I could have made by putting the money in a savings account or even in a CD.
So what's the difference between MSDs and a down-payment? The MSD money is yours to collect back at the "natural" end of the lease, at an early pull out of the lease, or at its end due to a totaled or stolen car. The down-payment money is NOT yours to collect under any circumstance. Once you make a down-payment, you never see that money back again no matter what!
OK, so why aren't dealers pushing MSDs on their customers all the time? Well, in my dealer's case it was simple ignorance on the CA's part. When I mentioned MSDs to him he looked bewildered and said "what's that?". Yes, a BMW dealership CA had not even heard of MSDs until I asked!!! Other CAs at that dealership did not fare any better; only the GM knew what I was talking about. Go figure...
