text: Perches—Perches provide a significant improvement to the growing and laying house environment. In grow, they allow birds to fully develop their leg and flight muscles. Perches in the growing house will habituate jumping behavior which will be important in good nesting behavior. Perches reduce the social stress of the floor by providing safe resting sites. Perches reduce the social pressure in the environment by increasing the space in the house. Piling is a common problem in flocks without access to perches. Place perches on slats where possible to maintain good litter conditions. Distance between perches on A-frame design should be 40 cm (16 in) and at a slope of 45 degree. The length of the perch depends on the bird density (as shown in the table below).

Junior Achievement STEM curriculum launching in Triad schools
As many as 10,000 students in Alamance, Guilford, Montgomery, Randolph and Rockingham county schools will gain access to new education in science and technology through Junior Achievement of Central North Carolina and several area business sponsors.
According to an announcement, the nonprofit's new "Full STEM Ahead! Skills for a Global Economy" initiative will be offered to schools by volunteers from or supported by sponsors such as Gildan Activewear, Truliant Federal Credit Union, United Guaranty and other area businesses.
The program helps students at all grade levels learn about career possibilities in science, technology, engineering and math as well as skills in personal finance, professional ethics, economics and entrepreneurship. The goal is to have the curriculum in 350 classrooms by the end of this school year.
"The JA program is a wonderful opportunity to communicate and interact with school children of all ages," said Cathy Ali-Stone, a volunteer in the program from Procter & Gamble Co. (NYSE: PG). "The training tools are very well defined, with clear, concise instructions. It is so wonderful to see 'the light turn on' for kids during the educational activities."
STEM education in all its forms is a high priority for Triad educators given the importance of science and math in the job market students will face in the future. This fall, Guilford County Schools is launching its "STEM Early College" at N.C. A&T State University with a focused science and math curriculum for high-achieving students.

It's a lot of small projects, and one somewhat large project. And yes, those are ends that I haven't woven in. Ends are the bane of my existence. They are evil, EVIL, I tell you! I just really don't like doing them, to be honest, and nine times out of ten, I never can find my tapestry needle even though I have like fifty of them. Eventually, I'll dig through my hooks and knitting needles, and I'll find a tapestry needle and weave all them ends in. I think it's because "weaving" in ends is so much like sewing that I just avoid it.
In the top picture, the top two rows with the exception of the folded black piece are all washcloths. The black piece is a bulky crocheted lace scarf. The round pieces and the little square blocks are all coasters, and the green hat is a preemie/newborn beanie.
The entire bottom pictures except the three keychains and the top row of Christmas Tree ornaments are all coasters. I have a lot of half skeins of cotton that I need to use up, and they are usually just enough to make about three or four round coasters. I may add one more row around them if I find that people do not like them a little small, but for now, I'm going to try them at this size.
But that is what I have been working on for roughly the last month. I have a larger project that isn't finished, but it still has a bit more work to do on it, so it's not in the pile for this photo.

Brief bio: Ember Swift is a Canadian musician and performer who has been living in Beijing for the past 8 years. She will be touring in Europe in the fall of 2017--specifically in late October and early November. She has just released her 12th album called "Sticks & Stones" . Her solo acoustic performance generates as much interest as her full band performance due to her charismatic stage presence, a unique approach to performance and musical style, and the fact that she sings in three languages: English, Mandarin and French. Typical of all Ember Swift material, her new body of work features several different styles ranging from pop to jazz, funk to klezmer, R&B to rock. Linking it all together is Ember's unmistakable jazz-smooth vocals and sociopolitical wit.

Change of fortune allows coach to change his number
When he coaches the third base box, he wears the number 97. His players at Riverside Academy would ask head coach Frank Cazeaux for an explanation.
It was simple.
"It was the last time I won a state championship," said Cazeaux, referencing the class 5A championship he won at Archbishop Rummel in 1997.
Next season, Cazeaux's 34th in coaching, that number will change to 17.
Twenty years between state baseball championships – and wondering if you would ever win another one – would seem like an eternal wait for many. But, not for one of the most underrated and talented coaches in the metro area.
"It is pretty exciting to win another," said Cazeaux. "But I was grateful for one. Some very good coaches never get that opportunity."
A 2-0 shutout win in the Division III championship over Ouachita Christian was Cazeaux's 577th victory in 33 years of coaching baseball.
Cazeaux's résumé is littered with significant moments. He took over a Riverdale baseball team that was 0-21 the previous season. The next season, that team won a first-round state playoff game.
In 2011, he led the St. Martin's football to a perfect 9-0 regular season. Cazeaux did something that doesn't happen often. Tony Porter Field had an overflow crowd when the St. Martin Saints won the district title, a 7-3 win over archrival Country Day.
Cazeaux said a football mentality helped carry his 2017 Rebels to a state baseball crown.
"We have guys like Jordan Loving, Trey Catoire, Zach Geiger, Jared Hymel, Zach Breaux and Tanner Loupe who definitely brought a different attitude to our team," said Cazeaux.
Riverside won the Division III football championship, a first for the school, in December.
"Those guys were hard-nosed, but sometimes they were too hard-nosed," added Cazeaux. "In baseball, you need to focus on the task at hand. It is a different mindset."
So, 20 years after he won his first baseball crown, and seconds after the final out of last Saturday's Division III championship, Cazeaux peeled the sticker off the back of his helmet.
The number 97 was soon to be replaced.
"What has always struck me about that Rummel team is that 20 years later, when I see those guys, all they want to talk about is 1997," said Cazeaux.
Cazeaux said only twice in his career, in 1997 and 20 years later, did any of his teams actually talk about winning a state championship.
He hopes it isn't his last.
"I enjoy coaching, seeing the kids do well," he said. "It is about them; it is not about me and what I am doing."

Data privacy and lack of skills preventing public sector from making the most of digital, survey says
Senior managers in the public sector have said that data privacy, security and increasing regulations are all barriers to their organisations benefitting from mobile and digital technologies, according to a survey.
Data privacy concerns are cited as a barrier to digital - Photo credit: Flickr, Robert Scoble, CC BY 2.0
The O2 Business Barometer survey, carried out by YouGov, took in the opinions of 501 senior leaders across the public sector in November 2016, asking about their priorities for 2017.
It found that 32% of respondents felt data privacy and security concerns were barriers to organisations making full use of digital and mobile technologies, while 11% said that increasing regulation meant it was harder to upgrade technology.
Some 26% said that a lack of digital skills in employees was a barrier - something that is regularly lamented by government watchdogs and think tanks - while 17% said they felt their organisation lacked a senior champion.
Further concerns were that digital wasn't prioritised within organisations: 11% said it was not seen as a priority by the board or senior directors, while 25% said that other areas of investment took priority, and 16% siad they felt that because the benefits take time to appear other areas took immediate priority.
And – despite the survey also finding that 45% of organisations said they expected more of their customers to interact with them through digital means in 2017 than the previous year – 13% of respondents said a barrier to digital was that their organisation was prioritising other methods reaching customers, such as telephone or face-to-face contact.
Nonetheless, two-thirds of the respondents said that investing in new digital transformation will be important to their organisations this year, with those working in larger organisations rating it as more important than those in small or medium organisations: 80% compared with 46% and 48%, respectively.
The survey also showed that 32% of public sector senior managers planned to invest more in new hardware and software than they had in 2016, while 39% said they would invest the same. Some 13% said they planned to invest less in new technology in 2017 than they did in 2016.

Earning public trust in an age of cyber threats
Some 82% of respondents said that maximising the benefits of existing technology would be important for their organisations this year – and the survey asked if the balance between new and old technology was affecting their work.
When asked to what extent they agreed with the statement, "my organisation is too "weighed down" by legacy systems and its current technology to be able to adapt and change in uncertain economic climates", 20% said they strongly agreed and 30% said they tended to agree.
The survey also showed, however, that many senior managers are not expecting to take up some of the most-touted technologies imminently, with almost half of all respondents – 49% - saying that they never thought cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin would be used by their organisation.
A third of respondents said they didn't think their organisations would ever use artificial intelligence – such as chat bots – with just 2% saying they thought it would be used in 2017 and 11% predicting it would be used in the next two to three years.
These figures were similar for robotic processing automation, with 26% saying they would never use it, 3% saying it would be used this year and 11% in the next two to three years.
The Internet of Things fared slightly better, with 18% saying it would never be used, 7% saying it could be in organisations this year and 15% predicting it coming into action in the next two to three years.
For each of these technologies apart from cryptocurrency, 5% of respondents said their organisations were already using the technology.
This is borne out by work from organisations such as HMRC, which has set up a Robotic Automation Board to set up robotic automation projects, and Enfield Council, which is using an AI bot to help residents work through online systems 24 hours a day.
Billy D'Arcy, managing director of enterprise and public sector at O2, said that the craving for "always-on" connectivity and services has "huge implications for the public sector".
He added: "The opportunity is huge to improve productivity, customer service and efficiency and we're only scratching the surface. Public sector organisations need to have the confidence to roll-out digital innovations by incorporating digital into their overall strategy and upskilling their workforce."

"Life changing History!"
Life changing History. I will listen to this again and again for inspiration. He is a true HERO!
"Great biography of a great man."
Metaxes is witty and engaging. He immerses the listener in the history and culture of the story, without sounding like an endless list of days and numbers. By the end of the book, I felt like I had met Wilberforce and experienced his struggles and joys by his side.
"Abolition in England"
I enjoyed this book set in England in the late 1700-1830's about abolition of slavery.
I am not a historian. I find all the details of Wilberforce' life are so interesting, given that some of the same issues are still evident in our society today.
The strong Christian thread that runs throughout this biography is appealing to me, as well.
I learned about that era in England, it's societal issues, family values, religious and political environments.
Good read!
"A moving tribute to a righteous man"
Loved the book. Compelling narrative of a heart-moving story. This is a moving tribute of a righteous man.
"I give it a B"
If you're super interested in William and/or slavery, then this is probably worth reading. As a biography in general though, it's underwhelming. The book does not give a particularly nuanced picture of him (possibly because of a lack of letters/documentation/resources) in that it portrays him as basically perfect. The book devotes no time to any sort of "dark side" except that he was perhaps too hard on himself (if that even counts as a personality flaw.) In contrast, the book goes of lf on several tangential monologues about how much character it took to stand up against slavery. Granted, it DID take a lot of guts, but I would've liked a more balanced portrayal of a man who must have had some failings. In short, the author's bias for his subject shows through.
"Thrilling Biography"
It seems ironic to put those two words together, but the very relatable and inspiring history of Wilberforce's life combined with the wit and detail of Eric Metaxas have pulled me through this book in just over 2 sittings.
The reading of Johnny Heller is also exceptional in lending character to this already exceptional book.
Highly recommend- this reading is both beneficial and hard to put down, a rare combination in these days when stories without virtues are so prevalent.
This book was simply fantastic. One of the best biographies I have read. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
"Christians can live their faith in any place"
Wonderful story of faith put into practice even in politics. Shows that living for Christ makes the difference, not other things like politics

But here's to brownies and milk on the couch with a Scrubs marathon after going to soothe my son for the third time and knowing that tomorrow I will go to the doctor for the fourth time this month.
In other news, today is the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I have a dream speech" and his march on Washington. I talked to Em about it at bedtime and he was all like "Yea?" (This is how he responds to everything these days – cows, flowers, the dog) but I could tell he was very intrigued by this topic. I was like "Em, there was a man who had a dream and he told people about that dream and we are still trying to make that dream happen and he went all the way to Washington, DC to talk about this dream." And Emerson said "Yea?" and he pointed to Alan, his fox stuffed animal. And I said "Yea, he wanted people of different races and socio-economic classes to be equal." And Emerson said "Yea?" And I said, "Yea, and Emerson, I hope our family can keep working on that dream too because that guy was pretty rad. And I hope we can love people who look different than us an people build their family different and people who do different things than us." And he of course said "Yea." So I feel like he got it.
Here is me and Em on our morning hang out before daycare and work. Clearly neither of us understand where the little picture taker is on my phone. This is post ear infection and pre pink eye and mid shingles but pre painful want to die because it feels like someone is continually stabbing me and we just have to sit still in the air conditioned car shingles.
Here's to you August!
OK I have officially transitioned into a blog that only talks about my kid…sigh. I have a few drafts of things I have been meaning to publish but then I start thinking that I don't want to stand on a soap box in the blogger world and I don't. I like other blogs – I like it when people stand on their soapbox or sandbox or any other type of box. Sigh… So much going on in my brain. The other day G said to me that it must be so hard to be in my head. IT IS G. IT IS! Why can't I just think about food or grass growing…I think of BOTH of those things PLUS a million other things while analyzing a million other things. UGHHH stupid brain.
Well this is a month late. As my kid is 13 months but whatevs. I'll do a 13 month one in a few weeks.
This is at the Waffle House birthday celebration. All birthdays should be celebrated with cheese 'n eggs. Seriously, how do they make those so dang good. We LOVE Waffle House! Is it sad that the people at Waffle House know us by name? Fatties.
So here we go.
- You no longer walk places. You just run.
- You know what you aren't supposed to do. Climb the stairs, throw food and smack mom. Before you do any of those things you look at me to make sure we are paying attention and if we say no you drop your chin and just cry. Welcome to the world of having a toddler.
- We went to the beach and you just ran to it like it was an old friend. I think you would have never stopped if the waves didn't know you over.
- We stayed in the ocean until you would fall asleep in your floaty. Then we tried to take you home to nap and you just wailed. It's like we were taking you away from a piece of you.
- You have become a picky eater. I am not sure how that happened – you would eat anything mashed up but now that it is a piece of broccoli it ends up on the floor.
- You just cry when I drop you off at daycare. When I try and let you go you get kung foo grip.
- You NEVER sit in one place. Sitting never happens. It is go go go and then sleep.
- At dinner when Greg and I are talking about our day you just chat away in your own language.
- When dad mows you just run to every window to watch him or catch a glimpse of him. If you hear anyone else mowing their lawn you just start screaming "da da" and have to see that person.
- You weren't too interested in your smash cake. Maybe it was the blue icing.
- At your birthday party you were interested in holding the hose than actually playing in the actual water.
- You love the pool. You don't even know you can't swim. We have spent almost every day at the pool this summer. You are diving into the pool, the baby pool, the lake or just diving down the stair. Sigh.
Happy birthday sweet boy. You are our wild wild sunshine!
Thankful for vacation and our little family. There is never enough time.
The Beaches
Avett Brother's
Don't say it's over
Cause that's the worst news I
could hear I swear that I will
Do my best to be here
just the way you like it
Even though its hard to hide
Push my feelings all aside
I will rearrange my plans and
change for you
If I could go back
That's the first thing I would do
I swear that I would
Do my best to follow through
Come up with a master plan
A homerun hit, a winning stand
A gaurantee and not a promise
That I'll never let your love
slip from my hands
If it's the beaches
If it's the beaches' sands you want
Then you will have them
If it's the mountains' bending rivers
Then you will have them
If it's the wish to run away
Then I will grant it
Take whatever you think of
While I go gas up the truck
Pack the old love letters up
We will read them when
we forget why we left here
I wanted to do this before my man turned one so here are things you have done this month or things that we LOVE about you!
1. You want to be just like dad. You are obsessed with him. If he isn't home you get in your stroller and look at me like we should go see him. We went to the lake the other day while he was fishing and came home early and you immediately grabbed your toy fishing rod and started to cast. It was the cutest. You just stood in your corner and tried to fish. Then you took your fishing rod and sat in the stroller and waited for me to take you back out there. When we pick you up at daycare and you see dad, you started screaming da da and just bypass me and get to dad.
2. I am not certain about this but I think you are the wildest kid at your daycare…and there are a lot of kids in daycare. As we were leaving the daycare teacher looked at me and said "Everyone here knows Emerson. He is so adventurous." Me: "You mean wild right?" Daycare teacher: "We'll just say adventurous." Call it what you want to lady – I get the point. Apparently yesterday you went head first down the slide. I may sound like I am complaining but I love it. I love your energy. I love that I could eventually have a running partner. About a year ago I was so sad that our house was so quiet…our house is no longer quiet hommie.
3. This month you stood up on your own and started running. on the concrete and falling on your face. You had your first bloody nose this month.
4. You get so giggly before bedtime. You just lean your headback and laugh and laugh. It is my favorite time of the day.
5. We no longer need toys. Just pots and pans and anything else that makes noise. You take your tiny little piano thing everywhere with you.
6. Your wavy curly hair is the bomb. Tha's right, I just said the bomb. I want your hair on my head. We are struggling to figure out how to make sure it doesn't dry but I just want to run my hands through it all the time. Seriously. The best.
7. You love being around people. Our house seems to be a never ending line of people dropping by, spending the night or just hanging out and you think they are all here to see you. You sit in the middle of the room and soak up the attention or you run to our guests for them to cuddle you.
8. When you walk your little booty shakes and you stick out your belly. Sigh…I could watch that all day.
9. You will finally fall asleep in your carseat again. HOORAY!
10. You are fearless. You will jump in the pool to mom. You run up the street. You want to walk down the stairs. While these are all dangerous things, I hope that adventure carries with you as you grow up. I hope that fear never holds you back.
11. Your dad and I are always your home base. You will go play with your toys and walk away for a few minutes and you'll look at me and then walk over to me and rest your head on my chest like you just needed a hug. Sometimes you will even roll around on us for a while. It's the best.
I love ya little man. After putting you to bed the other day I walked down the stairs and looked at our living room and there were colorful toys everywhere. Kiddo, you have put color (and noise) in our world. You so crazy.
When Greg and I began the adoption process we met with many different people who had adopted and been adopted. I remember one woman we met with talked about her open adoption and my mouth literally dropped. Gosh, she had a lot of grace because I asked all the wrong questions with all the wrong words. Now with what I know, I am sure unknowingly I spoke that entire conversation with my foot in my mouth.
Needless to say, Greg and I left that conversation and decided that open adoption was not for us. It didn't seem natural. In fact, I think every meeting we had about adoption we left saying it wasn't for us. It didn't feel natural…luckily God doesn't care about what this world thinks is natural or what I think feels natural. And now most of the time I don't give a damn what this world thinks is natural.
As we began the adoption process and we learned about these women who were carrying these kiddos we realized that maybe we could do open adoption. We knew that not only did we want to build a family, but that adoption is so much bigger than bringing home our kiddo – it was an avenue to love on more people. I love that God is a God of relationships and that Jesus came and built relationships because it just seemed "natural" to build a relationship with these women. Some liked us – some didn't. But we met an amazing women who was carrying our amazing kid. We still pray for her daily and know that open adoption in this case, is the way for us.
We love this lady and are honored she wants to be apart of our life. From the moment we met her we just all made sense – the three of us were supposed to love this little guy that Greg and I were lucky enough to raise. I know adoption starts with loss and that adoption isn't God's original plan but when I think of Greg, "M" (Emerson's birthmom) and myself I just think this is a story of redemption and the three of us are supposed to be a team, ya know? Like she was just supposed to be apart of our life – and she is our family. I know this probably sounds complicated but it isn't. I am Em's mom and I am confident in that but I also know that Em's birthmom needs to play a part in his story as well for him, for her and for us.
I am not doing anything good or great here but I just wanted to share our story in case anyone else is going through the adoption process and felt like we did a few years ago. And maybe a lot of people's mouths will drop and that's OK – ours did a few years ago. We were scared of open adoption and to be honest when we adopt again it will scare me all over again. It's just the unknown. Just like when you are pregnant and you are scared you will birth a horny toad baby with nine fingers – during my pregnancies I may have been scared of that. But I am learning over and over that there is so much more than this world and that bigger plan is just better. But we were scared of open adoption and we just do it now. It is just part of our life – I don't know life any other way. Also, sharing about open adoption is scary for me…it is just so personal. I have received many hurtful questions about open adoption that it makes me kind of clam up – but I think it is important to talk about. So while I am open about the status of our adoption I will not share much more about her.
Also, know that open adoption is not the way for everyone. I know it's hard and sometimes it just can't happen. So I get that and I should never be a spokesperson for anything because I live with my foot in my mouth.
*This picture has absolutely nothing to do with open adoption just ya know an evening of putting our pants on our heads.
I am not sure if this is an appropriate post or not…if not then I give you permission to judge. I see a lot of blogs and a lot of people really have their ducks in a row. My ducks are not even in the same room or country for that manner. I hope I don't sound like Debbie Downer here. I don't mean to.
I don't know how to be a mom. I love my kid like crazy but I still struggle with the day to day of being a mom. He is about to be done with a bottle and baby food and on to finger foods. I eat like crap. The books say to feed him what I eat…I drink the Coke with fake sugar and cookies with frosting if I actually eat during the day.
I don't know how to be an adoptive mom – I don't know that many adoptive moms so I am kind of reading blogs and books and figuring it out and I still love my kid like crazy and know that I LOVE that he is adopted – he is my miracle. I grieve for his birthmom and I love her like crazy. And that is OK. Nightly I look at him and I can't believe I get to be his mom. I know in a few years he could be grieving her as well or maybe not and could see adoption as wonderful as I do. I pray nightly that Jesus will fill the gaps that I can't fill – but maybe all moms pray that as well.
I don't know how to be a mom to a boy. I grew up with two sisters and pink and giggling – many weeks there could have been six girls if each of us Harrison girls had a friend over which means 12 conversations going on. That was our house. But I love my wild, crazy boy and just go with it and follow the mess and scream and move fast when he does and when I have nothing else I lie on the floor and allow him to crawl over me and stick his finger my mouth (which for some reason makes him giggle really loud these days).
And here's a weird one…I don't know how to be a mom to a multi-racial kid. I am not sure what to do with his wonderful curly hair or his little dry knees…although that may be a characteristic of any kid. You Tube is my best friend these days. I get looks in the grocery store where people wonder about my past or my mate. Someone has looked at my husband and asked if he was the dad…seriously – It's nonya business peeps. Well it is everyone's business that he is E's dad but that you are curious if maybe I had another mate and had Emerson may have been the case…Like Salt 'n Pepper said – It's none of yo business (I am obviously speaking to onlooker. You guys know he was adopted and I had no past mate but if you were wondering…It's none of your business…sorry now I have that song in my head and I keep thinking of the movie with Will Ferrell where he continues to quote TLC songs). Anyway, that comment a few sentences ago was at a Big Lots so you can't expect much but I don't know how to cheerfully move a comment along or respond gracefully or witty…I am just not that girl. I do know how to turn bright red and make everyone uncomfortable. Ya know…I am still figuring out this road. Those darn ducks are just all out of wack.
All that to say, I am just trying to figure out how to be a mom. How to be an adoptive mom to a wild, crazy and wonderful boy whose skin is different than mine. I am giddy to be able to do it but I can't be the only one who googles "bi-racial baby boy hair." Or googles "finger foods for baby who hates eggs and broccoli and only likes ham and cheese." Honestly, I am just trying to figure out how to do what I do. Does that make sense? I sometimes feel like I have no clue how to be a wife or do my job or a woman or a follower of Jesus or a owner of a dog or get the damn ants out of our bathroom. Geez. If you stuck with to the end of this than props – this is a long post with no pictures. I really like pictures in my blog.
The last three years Mother's Day has been very sad. For those of you who are yearning to be a mother please know that you aren't alone. While this year has answered prayers for our family there is still a loss that while on earth will not be filled – there should be more munchkins running around…one of which should be turning 3 in a few weeks. Yes, I still count the years. But instead of counting months I am counting years – which I am thankful for. Time really does heal. Over the past few years as I watched mothers celebrate their day and I was very sad because I knew I was a mother just maybe not to kiddos here on earth or to kids who shared my name.
While I wouldn't change a thing – this road brought me to the wildest craziest little man that I could have never created myself. It brought me to a woman I view as a sister who loves my boy as much as I do. It united families outside of bloodlines.
But as a reminder of those who yearn to be a mother know that bloodlines or documents or adoption does not make you a mother. I was a mother long before Emerson. I was a mother and sister and friend to high school kids who spent the night at our house for years. Who would stop by our house randomly for dinner. I was a mother to kiddos who cried on my shoulder. So know that you are meant to be a mother – whether it be through bloodlines, adoption, or just loving on someone who needs to be loved on. So Happy Mother's Day to you – you deserve to cry at the damn Publix commercials. You deserve to know that families don't have to exist within bloodlines or last names. You are appreciated. Let's celebrate all the women in our life who make us cookies, dinner or listen to us when we need to cry or take us to coffee. Let's celebrate the women in our life.
So here are a few blogs that I hope will help you realize you aren't alone.
My Definition of Motherhood – One year later
Holy 10 months batman. How did this happen to me? It happens to be Mother's Day this month and Publix is trying to prove to the world that my heart is actually there and I weep like a baby every time I see every stupid commercial. Don't you people realize I am dead inside and crying is not a pretty thing for me. There is also a phone commercial with a little boy that grows up and eventually gets his own place. Emerson, stop growing up. JUST.STOP.IT. I am not ashamed to be that mother who makes you live with me forever.
So here are 10 things I am thankful for in this crazy month.
1. You are a crazy yet cautious little thing. When in the house there is no stopping your ambition and climbing and crawling and hammering and screaming but when you are in a new location you are very cautious – you analyze everything around you. We are exhausted by the time you go to bed.
2. You just love mom. Apparently I fix everything to you. I'll take it because one day you'll realize I can't fix a darn thing.
3. You are adopted. I know this isn't new in month ten but your adoption changed me. Bringing you home helped your father and I write this adventurous story for our family. Every month I realize that being an adoptive mom has made me a different person.
4. Sometimes you just can't snuggle enough. You get in my arms and just snuggle to get closer.
5. The first thing you have said in context besides mom and dad is looking at the dog and saying "no." Poor Poopeye.
6. You sleep like a champ.
7. You put your mouth on the glass window and blow really hard. We just sit and watch you and laugh really hard.
8. You scream out of happiness. Your daycare teachers have asked us to "control this." I am not sure how to make this stop…maybe I could stop screaming with you at home but who's pointing fingers.
9. At daycare there is a walker you and your buddy Charlie push the mailtruck walker together. As soon as I walk in the door you almost jump out of my arms, make eye contact with your partner in crime and make your way to the mail truck. I mean the cuteness is out of control when y'all push this together.
10. You were in a play last month and sat and just smiled at everyone (by in a play you sat in a stroller for 5 minutes while a 10 year old read a book aloud to all the daycare parents).
OK now I fear I have become an annoying mom. So while I remember the good I also can't forget the hard times of today when your little top teeth came in and you just cried. All day. When you cry and are hurt you shake your whole body as if you just can't control the pain. You just couldn't be put down. My unusually mobile boy just sat and cried all day. Or having to drop you off at daycare tomorrow – which I just hate sometimes.
I just finished reading a book called "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years" by Donald Miller which is all about our story. I am trying to recall our crazy adoption story and write the entire crazy story. I know I could never communicate the story as well as God wrote it but might be good to remember.
OK that is kind of a vague statement but I am going to make another support adoption post in the midst of the news recently. I may become like the teacher on Charlie Brown. I apologize.
In the midst of the awful things I am hearing about the Gosnell trial (if you don't know what that is you can Google it…this case and this man is just awful so beware) BUT Gosnell is one of the reasons why you adopt and why you support adoption.
During our adoption process we received many critical statements about raising money for adoption. And in the midst of this case that the news media won't talk about, I want to scream this is why you raise money or support adoptions or adopt. This is why communities get involved with adoption. We have to tell women that we love them and they don't have to go to awful places and do inhuman things. I am all about some women power and the emergence of this case shows me how far we have to go as women. They have to have the choice to have people love them and their unborn babies. This HAS to be part of the choice – why is this choice not talked about more? Not only is it to break the glass ceiling on wall street or main street or whatever street it is people work on, but it is to fight for women who have no where else to go but Gosnell's disgusting clinic.
Not because you are infertile. Not because you want a better world. Not because you are some wonderful person trying to save the world but to put evil people like Gosnell out of work. You put him out of a job. That his profession is not needed. You tell the women who go to a shoddy clinic that you love them and will support them and their unborn babies. You stand up and love the kids in foster care because that is what God does. What would that do for the abortion world? What would that do for our choices?
"The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy. I have come to bring life and life the fullest." John 10:10
Let's fight for life to the fullest for those that have no voice. Whether it is unborn babies. Whether it is kids who are already born. Whether it is kids placed in our governments care. Whether it is women who are pregnant and are scared and their doctor is giving them abortion as their first option.
I just can't stop thinking about this case and it has rattled me to the core. I just don't understand.

As a result, the easily fixable entropion (his eyelids curl in so his lashes rub his corneas) has caused his eyes to be a mess. Once we get his eyes cleared up a bit with antibiotic drops, he will need to have surgery to correct this defect. Because the eyes have more nerve endings than any other part of the body, we know this will be a tremendous relief to him!

2009 Ford Flex Limited 4dr Wagon (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
So let's start with the brakes. Horrible brake sound when backing up. Grinding noise in the front. I took it in and they said I have to pay after 15k miles. Then the second time I took it in they said that the brakes were dirty. Horrible wind noise. Have major trans problems. Revs up to 6k rpm and I have to pull over and stop. (no, I did not touch the shifter). Took it in and they said nothing is wrong. I am taking it in again tomorrow for the 4th time in 5 months. I am tired of this and I don't have time to deal with this anymore. I am just going to be told that there is nothing wrong. Is anybody listening? I am very frustrated and no longer feel safe
Love the look.
too many plastic parts on the outside. They started to rattle after 5 months. Poorly engineered, bad wind noise and poor brake and trans
I hate this car! I have had severe problems with the transmission as well as my brakes. Like always the dealer says nothing is wrong. I feel very unsafe in this vehicle and even though it is perfect for a family of 5- it is unsafe. I have had the transmission slip into low when I was on the fwy- my kids and I had to pull over and restart the vehicle to get it back into drive. The brakes continually grind. The dealer states they have dirt in them- once returned from the dealer it starts again. The brakes smoke and smell like they are burning. I would love to turn it back in to get my money back! VERY Disappointed.
Sync system is great
brakes and transmission.
We have only had our Flex about a month. So far we love it. We compared vehicles for over 6 months before buying. We love the space & all the luxuries. Everyone always ask to look inside. Too many compliments about this car. I hope the reliability is as great as all the features.
Touch Screen Navigation, Sync, Sunroofs, & Seating configurations
None @ this time!
2009 Ford Flex SE 4dr Wagon (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
We had a loaded Durango, which we loved, but it was totaled in an accident. Planned to buy a used Durango, but Ford's offer was too good. My wife loved the Flex all along, I wasn't thrilled. I felt like I was ditching my "macho" Durango for a boxy station wagon. One year later, I couldn't be happier. I'm 6'4" and we have two young, but tall kids. The Flex has way more passenger room than the Durango and has already payed off in the short and long run. It's also safer and gets way better Hwy and City MPG. At $2.85/gallon, it costs about $44-$45 and drives about 400 miles per tank. That's better than my wife's Mazda6. We might trade it for a second Flex
MPG, Great passenger space for tall adults and kids - including the third row. Stylish and practical.
More storage bins through out. We keep a fair amount of "kid stuff" on the rear passenger floor. The 2009 headrests are stiff and the steering wheel doesn't telescope, but I heard they fixed both for 2010.
2009 Ford Flex SEL 4dr Wagon (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
We've had our flex for over 6 months and we love it! initially my wife was little hesitant because but she's now a big proponent of the car. I cant tell you how many of her friends have said "I live your Flex". Personally I love smaller cars but I often take the wife car instead of my own car. The car if incredibly comfortable and the wife and my 4 kids are anxiously looking forward to our first long road trip. You know something is up when you're looking forward to along drive w/ 4 kids :-)
comfort, looks
Standard sync (true in 2010), at least give me a USB input on non-sync.

Control, Crazy and about Craziness
Paul from Providence, Rhode Island found an interesting article about Budapest and shared with me over the Facebook yesterday.
I find the author of that article has quite an interesting way of describing Budapest. He introduced the sights to travel with a deep sense of historical references. So I guess for those who wants to sink into the deepness of the changes during those historical years for Budapest, can find back the glorious as well as retro spots to see when they are truly here.
As I continue to read further in the author's blog. He was introducing his latest book which is very exciting to me, just by reading the sypnosis. In his writing, he asked some good questions:
Can you relax if you're not in control?
What will happen if we learn to be really honest with the people in our lives?
And how can an anxious guy learn to loosen up a little and let his hair down?
Nick Thorpe explores these and other predicaments in his writings. It is not like he will write these kind of topics in an intense manner. And these days, Zsolt and I began to appreciate more of such styles which has a certain level of humility.
Gentle humour is certainly a must! Humour has always been a style of writing I personally like and appreciate.
I was trying to explore in answering the questions he asked."Can you relax if you're not in control?" For me, I think perhaps no one living in this busy context could. If you are living in the countryside, perhaps you will learn day by day how to relax. In a city, it's almost impossible.
What will happen if we learn to be really honest with the people in our lives? I think some people will become crazier and the living community will be more stressful than not. Not everybody can take honesty very well. Even though I would think most people would like honest people.
For me, I personally prefer honest people. I hate liars or people who are always blackmailing. It is a psychological problem in my opinion.
And how can an anxious guy learn to loosen up a little and let his hair down? There are many ways and it is all about balancing and moderation. The first is to focus on the correct things that are meant to be yours. Mind your own business. Thinking the worst-case out of situations and scenarios might not help. Not just that it would not keep bad things from happening, it keeps you from enjoying the good things you have in the present.
The first thing to do is tackle your personal need for certainty and your own search for IMMEDIATE answers. For anything, for your life.

When Alta Weiss throws a corncob at a tomcat chasing her favorite hen, folks know one thing for sure: she may be a girl, but she's got some arm. At the age of six Alta can nail any target, and by seventeen she's outpitched every boy in town. Then one day her father takes Alta to Vermilion, Ohio -- home of the semipro baseball team called the Independents. "Where do I sign up?" she asks. But one look at Alta tells the coach all he needs to know: She's a girl, and girls can't play baseball. But faster than you can say "strike out," Alta proves him wrong: Girls can play baseball.

Gillian Gibbons, 54, allowed her class of seven-year-olds at the Unity High School, Khartoum, to name a teddy bear Mohammed.
If convicted, Ms Gibbons, of Aigburth, Liverpool, could face 40 lashes, a large fine or a jail spell.
The exercise was part of the class's study of animals and their habitats and the name was chosen by the children.
Ms Gibbons, who is being held in a Khartoum prison, was arrested on Sunday after complaints were made - though the naming occurred in September.
Reports given to More4 News on Monday night suggested Ms Gibbons had been charged under sharia law with "insulting ideology and religion".
The mother-of-two moved to Sudan this summer leaving her post as a deputy headteacher at Dovecot Primary School in Liverpool.
Former colleagues and neighbours spoke of their shock on Monday and described Ms Gibbons as innocent and somebody who "wouldn't harm a fly".
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office refused to confirm on Monday night whether Ms Gibbons had been charged.
The British Embassy in Khartoum confirmed officials were helping and had been to visit Ms Gibbons in custody.

This application is a Continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 623,393, filed Oct. 17, 1975, and co-pending herewith, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,039,046 was granted Aug. 2, 1977 on such application.
This invention relates generally to the making of a stubless multi-ply assembly, and more particularly to the making of such an assembly of the type which includes superimposed top, intermediate and bottom plies with the top and bottom plies removably interconnected, and the intermediate and bottom plies removably interconnected.
Business forms arranged as interconnected unitary sets of multiple sheets or plies are available in various forms constructions and adapted for inscription either manually or with the use of a typewriter. The most common of these unit sets is one having a removable stub portion for interconnecting the sheets of the set together. The sheets may therefore be separated as the stub is removed, or individual sheets may be removed from the stub while leaving the remaining sheets of the set intact. Typically, such a set comprises a top record ply which is removed from the set for record keeping while the balance of the plies remain intact after which they are subsequently separated. This stub however represents a completely unusable portion of the form since it is ultimately discarded after removal. Any writing or printing on the form sheets must therefore be confined to areas outside the stub thereby resulting either in the need for larger sheets or a smaller printing and writing area. Hence, this wasteful stub accounts for a poor economical use of the set. Moreover, the sheets of the assembly are normally interconnected at the stub by glue lines axially aligned between the top and bottom sheets thereby adding to the thickness or bulk of the assembly.
U.S. Pat. No. 1,949,625 to Ritzhaupt discloses a forms construction which minimizes the thickness of the assembly at the forward end by means of attaching the sheets together by a single line of adhesive passing through axially aligned apertures provided in several of the sheets. However, a removable stub is nevertheless required for such assembly since it is so constructed that the sheets cannot be removed unless separated along the stub. All the drawbacks noted for the typical forms construction requiring a removable stub are therefore common to this prior art construction.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a multi-ply unit set as having no stub portion yet thereby avoiding the noted disadvantages of an assembly requiring such stub while at the same time retaining the advantages of a stub.
Another object of the invention is to provide such a unit set of a stubless construction which is not only highly economical in its use since it avoids stub handling and disposal and permits a more effective use of the plies themselves, but is also simple in its construction and easy to manufacture.
In carrying out these objectives the multi-ply set of the invention is made of the type including at least superimposed top, intermediate and bottom plies. The top ply is removably attached to a flap underlying the bottom ply and having adhesive provided thereon. Holes are provided in the bottom ply through which the adhesive on the flap extends so as to adhesively secure the intermediate and bottom plies together. Various modes of ply separation are therefore made possible. For example, the top ply may be removed while leaving the intermediate and bottom plies intact, or the intermediate ply may be removed while leaving the top and bottom plies interconnected, or the top and intermediate plies may be removed so as to separate all the plies.
A unit set may also be made according to the invention of the type which includes superimposed top, first and second intermediate, and bottom plies. Holes are provided in the bottom ply axially aligned with holes provided in the second intermediate ply but of a size less than such intermediate ply holes. The adhesive on the flap therefore extends through these aligned holes so as to engage the edges of the bottom ply holes. The difference in hole size defines portions of the bottom ply which serve to mask the second intermediate ply holes and therefore confine the adhesive extending therethrough to a size equal to that of the bottom ply holes. The adhesive extending through the second intermediate ply holes are therefore spaced inwardly of the hole margins thereof, and ply separation is effected similarly as described for the three-ply set.
FIG. 1 is a top plan view of the multi-ply set according to the invention, several of the plies being broken away for clarity;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the set taken substantially along line 2-2 of FIG. 1; and FIG. 3 is an expanded view of a portion of the multi-ply set, slightly enlarged, showing the details of the invention.
The unit set or assembly of multiple plies in accordance with the invention is generally designated 10 in the drawings and is made into such set of the type which includes at least superimposed top, intermediate and bottom plies 11, 12 and 14 so as to form a three-ply set. It will be seen that an additional intermediate ply 13 may be used to form a four-ply stubless set, intermediate plies 12 and 13 therefore being hereinafter referred to as first and second intermediate plies, respectively, when describing the four-ply stubless set shown in the drawings.
Holes 15 are provided along a marginal edge of second intermediate ply 13, and a quantity of detachable adhesive 16 is provided on an undersurface of flap 17 of the top ply, which flap 17 underlies bottom ply 14 as shown in FIG. 2. Holes 18 are provided in the bottom ply respectively in axial alignment with holes 15. Adhesive 16 may be applied to flap 17 along a line as shown in FIG. 1, or dots of adhesive slightly greater than the size of holes 18 may be applied along the flap to coincide with such holes. Portions 16a of adhesive 16 extend between ply 12 and flap 17, and these portions 16a extend through aligned openings 15 and 18 as shown in FIG. 2. Such adhesive portions therefore secure first intermediate ply 12 to the bottom ply as portions 16a completely fill holes 18 in the bottom ply. However, the difference in sizes between holes 15 and 18 define portions 19 of the bottom ply which serve to mask a part of holes 15. Accordingly, the size of portions 16a of adhesive extending through openings 15 of second intermediate ply 13 are confined to the size of holes 18 in the bottom ply. And, since the holes in second intermediate ply 13 and in the bottom ply are axially aligned, portions 16a of adhesive extending through holes 15 are located inwardly of the marginal edges of these holes as shown in FIG. 2. Hence, no direct or positive adhesive securement is effected between the adhesive and ply 13. It is therefore seen that separation of the first intermediate and bottom plies will effect a break of adhesive portions 16a thereby freeing second intermediate ply 13 from the set.
Top ply 11 overlies first intermediate ply 12 and is removably attached to flap 17 along a line 22 of weakening. Flap 17 extends about the aligned marginal edges of plies 12, 13 and 14 as shown in exaggerated form in FIG. 2.
Each of the plies of the set according to the invention is devoid of any tear lines which may form a stub so that indicia is capable of being applied to a larger area of each ply within the margins thereof as compared to a unit set having a stub. As is apparent from the drawings, the unit set is made of four superimposed plies, or of three superimposed plies by eliminating second intermediate ply 13. In the four-ply set, top and bottom plies 11 and 14 are removably interconnected by the provision of a fold flap 17 along an edge coinciding with line 22 of the top ply, such flap having applied thereto a quantity of detachable adhesive on an inner surface thereof, the flap being folded to underlie the bottom ply with the adhesive contacting the outer surface of the bottom ply as shown in FIG. 2. The first intermediate and bottom plies 12 and 14 are likewise removably interconnected by the provision of at least one hole 18 in the bottom ply and by extending a portion 16a of the adhesive through this hole so as to contact first intermediate ply 12. And, for the four-ply set, second intermediate ply 13 is disposed between plies 12 and 14 and is provided with a hole 15 in axial alignment with hole 18 but of a slightly larger size. Such portion 16a of adhesive therefore extends through hole 15 but is spaced slightly inwardly of the marginal edge thereof.
In the three-ply construction which eliminates the use of second intermediate ply 13, it can be seen that separation of top ply 11 from the set leaves plies 12 and 14 intact, while removal of ply 12 from the set leaves plies 11 and 14 interconnected. Also, removal of plies 11 and 12 separates all the plies of the set from one another. Such is likewise true for the four-ply unit set in that plies 12 and 13 may be removed while leaving plies 11 and 14 interconnected, or ply 11 may be removed while leaving plies 12, 13 and 14 intact, or removal of plies 11 and 12 separates all the plies of the set from one another.
In order to transfer indicia through the set after being applied to top ply 11, sheets of carbon transfer material may be provided between adjacent plies, or some type of known carbonless transfer composition or a mixture of carbon transfer and carbonless transfer materials may be coated on mating surfaces of the plies.
In addition to those advantages mentioned above concerning the greater areas on each ply made available for applying information, the stubless form in accordance with the invention avoids the need for handling any stub or further disposing of same. Stub waste is therefore avoided and greater economical use is made available for the form.
Obviously, many other modifications and variations of the invention are made possible in the light of the above teachings. For example, additional intermediate plies 13, for making a five-, six-, seven-, etc.-ply set, may be utilized for the unit set without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is therefore to be understood that within the scope of the appended claims the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described.
