None specifically yet I was just looking into ideas. I was also looking at Reviewme.com but I am not sure if HP works for them.
for review me you must own the domain and hosting.
those type of services are ok, but can be considered "paid links" so dont use them on an important site
paid to write, yes.
paid to create blog entries on your sites, no - not the best biz model
More than one way to skin a cat and makes me at least $1200 a month.
Okay Mark
I feel that you will not share your secret but can you at least share an idea of what to look for and what to avoid?
Build a reputable blog and develop a reputation in a niche you feel you understand and have some expertise in. Do not blog for $20 posts which are obvious paid posts.
But your not working through a blog for pay service? You have specific clients? right?
OK so are you going to make me beg? paid to write where other than HP I have found that I do much better with witting on an assigned topic than I do finding one of my own.
Triond, text broker, paid to post, associated content, suite 101, seed, content current, Examiner, Today.com etc etc etc.
Today.com is dead in the water...and well deserved too.
Sorry, but I have a dozen or so hubs on the paid to write sites.
Susana S and Sufidreamer also have some great resources on the freelance sites within their hub portfolios.
I guess, my best suggestion is: http://hubpages.com/hub/Writing-for-mon … nt-revenue
when looking through - any recommendations about Factoidz or eHow should be disregarded as recent changes to each may not have been edited out of older hubs.
I can flesh that out a bit.
Personal story -
i found out through the grape vine and via some adwords research that a certain local industry was paying out a lot to pretty cheesy seo/marketing firms in the area.
Since, I dont really like clients (hence building a passive income stream) I decided i would get a piece of that pie, indirectly.
So I created an optimized, high quality site for a desirable term and over the course of 2-3 months I got it to first page.(which made surprisingly great adsense returns as a side effect!)
This was easy as the seo firms were just using adwords and had no real content network.
I then offered posts at a certain rate for testimonials and business information at a decent price directly to the effected industry and seo firms.
I did not /do not write a single word of content after I got the site ranked. I just paste and hit publish.
As the site grew it began to rank for other closely related terms and I raised the rates for a first page post to reflect the traffic growth.
But, the whole process was quite a gamble as far as time expenditure went and careful presentation, ability for cc billing, sales skills were all necessary in my personal example.
Wow I have read you article SF and also Mark's blog on the subject. both are full of very useful information and are on my list of things to dig into when I have more time.
The OP made me think she was asking about Today.com and similar ilk ..hence the big no!
You can also blog for a network for a monthy salary. I was blogging for b5media before the great blog clean out in march (they terminated every contract)) and I was making over 60.00 per blog post. Of course, I was well known in my area of expertise and my blog garnered over 300,000 hits a month.
The downside is you can be ousted if the network decides to drop your blog, you have no real recourse.
As a single mom I make all of my income from blogging gigs, mine and other networks.
It is not a quick way to make money. It takes time to build traffic whether you are blogging for yourself or someone else... but you can make enough to support yourself. Lots of people are.
For a while I would buy domains at around PR5, with around $5 a day income, run them for a year and fill them with spammy paid posts and then sell off the domain for around half what I paid a year or so later. I actually made between $3000 and $5000 profit per website I did this on, it was a fair amount of work though.
paid blogging (blogger or blogspot) ---- you are paid through ads on your blog.
You know - you people amaze me - I have no idea about any of these money making ideas - you guys have been very creative and imaginitive if you dont mind me saying so - great stuff - inspirational
Irish it is really amazing that there are so many things to learn about all this online money making stuff.
It's worth signing up for some of the free memberships of freelance sites and bidding on blogging work if you want to do it. Just don't price yourself too cheaply. Yes you might need to bid lower when you start out, but keep in mind that it's temporary! Put your prices up as soon as you can. The more experience and happy customers you have the more you can increase your prices.
Blogging for money can be a good regular source of income, which is a nice addition while you build up your passive income.
thank you everyone who responded I have another question? does anyone know anything about a site called "Bright Hub"?
Yes, I looked into it - at the time, you had to be a qualified expert in a particular field to get in. I just had a look and it seems to have opened up a lot.
However I notice they take online copyright of your articles (though you can still sell them to hard-copy publications).
I was accepted as a BrightHub writer - but the rate for DS was better so I never got very involved.
..the getting in part didnt seems so bad, but I have yet to be denied access into any writing site so I may just be good at applications.
Seemed like a lot of interaction with CE's for the payrate compared with other choices
At the time I looked at it, they didn't want any writers on Arts subjects, only tech stuff. Is the rate for DS still worthwhile?
Ive reached a comfortable passive income level and rarely use any of the writing sites for anything more than some pre-researched titles (if they will pay for them, then they probably think they can make their money back)
I havent perused the titles since the eHow freeze. The titles were often very clunky/ hard to comprehend (possibly software generated) but I always wrote one copy for them then a better copy for myself that I would publish here.
I dont consider $15 for an article necessarily worthwhile. BUT, I have a suspicion that many who write for revshare never even see that much per article.
For an advanced online content writer such as your self - I think, it could be worthwhile if you can pop out 2 of there articles an hour.
The stumbling point/learning curve is adapting your style to fit the various templates they use.
My experience there was seemless - but that is not the story I usually hear.
The dissenters always scream louder anyway - the people who liked DS probably didnt want to bring any attention to it - less competition that way.
sorry, about the long response - Im still tweaking all my hubs via the link tool/keyword tab and its mind numbingly boring, this is a good stall tactic. I might pull a JimmytheJock and delete all the ones with less than 50 weekly views - ....Im so kidding
DS has revshare also - any experiments Ive seen in online blogs (comparisons between performance at eHow, DS, Hubpages, Infobarels ect) always seemd to trickle to nothing before a conclusion is made - which means - the results were so positive they didnt want any light shined on the site - or so dismal they didnt want to even type another word .
If the topics you got are strong enough, then paid blogging is good
I find that doing a nice mix of stuff online is best. I have my own blogs where I make money off adsense and affiliates.
I make websites for others. I write articles and blog post. I do some paid linking. I write for sites and get paid by page per view, ads and per article.
I do youtube videos, ezine articles, dating sites and adult. You never know when a website will suddenly die or what model will become obsolete.
Doing a mix of stuff is safe. Remember, nothing stays the same, and with the web that is even more true. Always keep up with what is changing.
I have always had more luck starting my own blog and getting it noticed to make money on my own. As some already stated this can be a time consuming project and a gamble but if you will visit sites and read about how to do it there are some good sites on the net that give good information on how to accomplish this.

"Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather." ~John Ruskin
I suppose this kind of philosophy can be applied to life too. The stormy times aren't always easy to handle, but they help to build our character, remind us how strong we really are and how kind others can be when they reach out to help us.
Here are some crazy stormy skies I captured this week. I am choosing to take this particular stormy day to stay inside in my sweats, get caught up on some bookkeeping and snuggling up with my little guy and perhaps a good book.
A little sprinkle of rain to water the grass and garden, and fill the rain barrel would be great too:)
With gratitude,

I have a pile of fabric scraps, trims, ribbons and such that are too small for most projects, yet too pretty to toss. If you do, too, then you might want to try Rebekah Meier's Scrappy Fabric Christmas Wreath. Like the Retro Fabric Christmas Wreath, Rebekah made her Scrappy Christmas Wreath in muted reds and greens. Of course, you can make yours in bright red & green, red & white, blue & white, or even orange & black for Halloween. (And I share a few photos of our snowy morning, too!)
To make a Scrappy Christmas Wreath, you'll need:
- STYROFOAM™ Brand Foam: 12" wreath
- Fabrics:
- ½ yd. muslin
- Fabric, 3" x 36" (for bow)
- Scraps of fabric, ribbon, lace, organza, etc.
- Button thread
- Fabric glue
- Tools needed: Scissors; sewing needle; straight pins; iron; optional: sewing machine
To make a Scrappy Christmas Wreath:
1. Tear muslin into 1" strips. Wrap the strips around the wreath, pinning strips to the back of the wreath. If needed, add a dab of glue.
2. Tear fabric scraps into 1 1/2" strips. Fold strips in half and tie around the wreath until it's completely covered.
3. Pin and glue strips of lace and ribbon around the wreath, overlapping the fabric strips.
4. Tear organza into 1-1/2" strips and tie around wreath.
5. Make the bow:
- If using the sewing machine, fold the 3" strip in half so it measures 1-1/2" x 30".
- With right sides together, machine stitch ¼" from the raw edge, and leave a 2" opening.
- Trim seams and turn right side out.
- Press with iron.
- Slip stitch opening closed.
- Tie in a bow and glue and pin to the wreath.
- Or, if not using a sewing machine, simply tear fabric into a 1 1/2" strip and tie into a bow. Pin and glue to the top of the wreath.
I just love the gauzy organza and ribbon trims on this wreath. Can you believe that it's so easy to make such a pretty wreath? Do you have a fabric stash you can raid to make this Scrappy Christmas Wreath?
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here. Except that the leaves are still on the trees, which means that the snow makes them very heavy. There are trees and limbs down all over, and lots of power outages, too. It's been a crazy morning, but I know the snow won't last long — yet. Here are a few photos of my day so far.
Isn't it pretty? My daughter was excited to see it this morning. Of course, it was a scrambled morning. No power means no alarm clocks, waking up late, slow traffic, crazy school schedules, etc., etc. But at least we can enjoy the view.
See you tomorrow with more scrappy crafts, and hopefully with power restored.
Happy crafting.

National Museum of the American Indian
$75 Million goal
Our Goal: $75 MIllion
The National Museum of the American Indian showcases inclusive American history through tribal partnerships, a world-renowned collection, rigorous scholarship and programs and museums in Washington, D.C., and New York City. It also celebrates the culture and art in contemporary Native life. Through the Smithsonian Campaign, the museum will endow important leadership positions, strengthen exhibitions and expand the scope of its educational programs.
Leadership Message
The messages my generation received were clear: Indians were figures of the past, interesting only in terms of their engagement with non-Indians.
I remember the occasional references to American Indians in my public school textbooks, always accompanied by a photo of Indian people standing on a rocky hillside dressed in feathers and buckskin.
Contemporary Indians were not relevant. This powerful set of ideas made growing up as an Indian child harder than it had to be. The National Museum of the American Indian is redefining how Indians are represented in the world.
In order to exemplify these communities properly, we require that they become deeply involved in the development of any sort of museum content.
We are building a foundation upon which tribal peoples can take great pride in their heritage and achieve their highest aspirations.
The Smithsonian Campaign will help us transform our education programs, produce powerful exhibitions and build an unrivaled collection. Your investments are key to our success. Please join us as we retell America's whole story.
Thank you.
- Kevin GoverDirector, National Museum of the American Indian
Redefine America's Story
Endowment for Leaders and Programs
History in the Western Hemisphere begins with American Indians. Throughout the region, civilization stands on the accomplishments of ancient societies, such as the Inkas and Iroquois. Their communities were so complex and advanced their walls still stand and their methods of governance and agriculture are still practiced.
Today, there are an estimated 50 million indigenous people from the Artic Circle to Tierra del Fuego. The National Museum of the American Indian is uniquely positioned to chronicle their stories, as well as the stories of their ancestors. Through the campaign, it will endow positions for the director, curators and fellows. New programming will instigate global discussions about issues important to Native people.
Exhibitions and Permanent Gallery
The museum has one of the most extensive collections of Native American art and artifacts, representing more than 12,000 years of historyfrom more than 1,200 indigenous cultures. The collection ranges from ancient Paleo-Indian artifacts to contemporary art pieces.
Gifts to the Smithsonian Campaign will enable the museum to dramatically redesign its permanent galleries to create compelling narratives. They will reveal the magnificent peoples and cultures of the Americas prior to European contact and illuminate the survival of Native peoples and why their stories are important. The museum will mount thematic exhibitions to highlight the sophistication of these ancient people and acquire contemporary art from across the Americas.
National Education Initiative
Through its National Education Initiative, the museum will collaborate with tribes and educational organizations to correct misconceptions that are taught in schools across the country.
It will produce new curricula and explore teaching approaches. Investments in the campaign will allow the museum to become a global leader in Indian scholarship. The museum also will conduct professional training in conservation and scholarship.
Our Top Campaign Priorities
is raising $75 million of the Smithsonian Campaign's overall $1.5 billion goal.
Campaign Priorities
Endowment for Leaders and Programs
$35 Million
Our goal is to create an endowment of $35 million for leadership positions and programs. A gift of $5 million endows the directorship; gifts of $3 million endow curatorial and fellowship positions.

Buxton, Warren
A Pair of Sealskin Boots Leads to More Gifts
Warren F. Buxton was stationed at a remote weather station in Canada on a small island north of the Arctic Circle for the U.S. Air Force in 1949. When his government-issued gear wasn't adequate in the cold, a neighboring Yu'pik community gave him a pair of sealskin boots and a parka made with a dog-fur collar. Years later, Buxton and his late wife, Jo Buxton, gifted those boots and a series of photographs he took during that time to the National Museum of the American Indian. These are the first of many objects from his Native American art collection he has given to the museum. To share his passion for Native American culture and aviation with future generations, Buxton also established charitable gift annuities to benefit the National Museum of the American Indian and the National Air and Space Museum. He is a member of the National Air and Space Museum Legacy Society.

Depending on your career path, a master's degree can open doors and help you climb the corporate ladder. It can also help you earn more money and build your professional reputation.
But getting a master's degree isn't necessary for everyone. Before you apply to a program, find out whether or not a master's degree is worth your time and money.
Then ask yourself, "Is grad school worth it?"
In some fields, a master's degree is not really necessary. And, it will only give you more student loan debt. Look at the entire return on investment (ROI) a degree would give you.
Should I get a master's degree?
When you are looking at graduate school programs and planning your academic future, consider your potential salary, employability, and the cost of a master's degree.
Then, compare the cost of graduate school–and student loan interest–with the boost in salary it may give you to decide if grad school is a good idea.
One of the biggest factors to consider when determining "is grad school worth it?" is salary.
In some industries, a master's degree may increase your chances of getting hired, but will not impact your earnings. In others, a master's degree can translate to a huge bump in income.
Payscale, a site that compiles self-reported data, has an in-depth salary database. You can find out what people in your role make in your region, and how much a graduate degree can affect your salary.
It's a useful resource for determining if another degree will boost your earning potential or not.
Additionally, if you are looking to work at a larger company, check out Glassdoor. You can find out how much more those with a master's degree make than their co-workers with only a bachelor's.
From PayScale and Glassdoor's data, you can see that a master's in science, technology, or engineering usually results in a much higher starting salary.
By contrast, if you plan on entering marketing or advertising, a master's degree has a negligible effect on your earnings. And if you plan on working in the latter fields, a master's may not be necessary.
Employment data
While a salary number can be a helpful indicator if a master's degree is worth it, it's not the only factor you should consider.
In some fields, open positions are rare and far-between. People in certain jobs may be paid well, but breaking into that industry may be incredibly difficult.
To find out what your chances are of finding a job and earning a good salary, review your field's employability data with the following tools.
Also, take a look at an interactive report the Federal Reserve Bank of New York put together called the "Labor Market for Recent College Graduates."
This report outlines unemployment information by industry, underemployment data, starting salaries, and mid-career income. It also highlights how many people in the industry have a master's degree.
All of this information can help you determine your likelihood of finding a job and gauging what your income may be as you climb the corporate ladder.
Additionally, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics offers job growth projections to see what industries can expect growth or decline over the next ten years.
This information can help you see what fields need a graduate degree for an extra edge. And, which fields a master's degree may be unnecessary.
In fact, there are some careers where a master's degree can even be a detriment.
Since a master's degree is often associated with higher income, companies will deliberately pass over candidates with graduate school on their resume because they would have to pay them more.
Therefore, carefully consider market conditions before enrolling in school.
Cost of program
On average, a year in a university's graduate program will cost about $30,000 at a public school and close to $40,000 at a private one.
Keep in mind that the cost of a master's degree is dependent on a range of factors, such as your program, location, and selected school.
Before enrolling, ask how many students graduate within two years and how many need more than that to complete the program.
If most students need an extra semester, that will indicate that you may need to budget for another year of school expenses. And, that added cost may offset the benefits of a master's degree. That's why program completion is a major factor to consider.
Is grad school worth it?
There are many different factors to keep in mind when deciding, "Is grad school worth it?"
While a master's degree can increase your chances of landing a good job and a larger income, it is not necessary for all industries or career paths.
If you can get a degree at a school at a fraction of the cost, thanks to a scholarship or your employer, then getting your master's can be a smart decision.
But if you have to enroll in a costly program for only a modest bump in income, it may not be worth the expense and time.
At the end of the day consider all factors and use the tools listed above to determine the return on investment for a master's degree. Then you'll finally have your answer to that burning question.

We usualy stay at a hotel connected to this one (Comfort Inn) I was suprised when we got to the Comfort that they were sold out for Bowling comp.(didn't make reservations GO FIGURE) the girl at the front desk sent us across the parkinglot to the Roadway Inn (once Sleep Inn) We were quite surprised. Good room for the price. The staff was friendly, room was clean and for a guy, the big Shower was nice. pastries, waffels cerial and strong coffee. We did not get the Hot Breakfast like the Comfort but for that price it was fine. We may use the roadway going forward. The Comfort Inn is realy nice but If I can save some money I will. same pool for both hotels (no time to use but it looked clean).

Stock market averages are sporting modest losses late Tuesday. Volatility overseas set the table for morning weakness on Wall Street. Hong Kong's Hang Seng lost 1.1 percent amid concerns about China's economy after iron ore producers warned of weakening prices. Stocks moved broadly lower across the Eurozone as well, with Germany's DAX losing 1.4 percent and France's CAC 40 shedding 1.3 percent, on lingering concerns about the debt crisis. The domestic economic news included a drop in Housing Starts to an annual rate of 698,000 in February, which was 7,000 worse than expected. However, Building Permits, which offer a better harbinger of things to come, improved to 717,000 and 22,000 more than had predicted. Still, the Dow Jones Industrial Average followed overseas markets lower and suffered a triple digit loss in morning trading. The Dow has since come off its lows in choppy and uninspired action. The Dow is now down 56 points. The NASDAQ lost 2.6 points. CBOE Volatility Index (.VIX) edged up .41 to 15.45. Trading in the options market is slower than Monday and reflects the more cautious underlying tone. 6.9 million calls and 5.9 million puts traded across the exchanges so far.
Bullish Flow
NetApp (NASDAQ:NTAP) is up $1.41 to $45.47 and seeing relative strength today on high volume of 9.5 million shares. Typical volume through midday is about 3.5 million. Meanwhile, 17,000 calls and 4,200 puts traded on the network storage device specialist. The top trade is a 2500-lot of Jun 47 calls at $2.54 and appears to be an opening position tied to 105K shares at $45.41. Apr 44 and Jun 49 calls are actively traded in NTAP today and levels of implied volatility moved up 9.5 percent to 31. No headlines to explain the high volume on the stock.
Delta Airlines (NYSE:DAL) adds 22 cents to $9.53 and calls on the airliner are flying off the shelves today. Jun 10s are the most actives. 5,250 traded (87 opecent Ask). Apr 10, May 9, May 10 and Jun 9 calls are busy as well. Total volume is 16,000 calls and 1,560 puts, even as share volume is 8.3 million and about 20 percent less than normal. Levels of implied volatility moved up 4 percent to 43.5. Some investors might be buying calls on the stock and anticipating a rebound after the 18.5 percent loss suffered from 2/3 through last Friday. Higher crude oil prices have been weighing on the industry. However, crude is down $2.32 to $106.24 late Tuesday
Bearish Flow
Targacept (TRGT) is off $1.83 to $5.58 on heavy volume of 5.3 million shares after the company, along with partner AstraZeneca (NYSE:AZN), halted the development of an experimental antidepressant following disappointing results from a late-stage trial. TRGT tanked on the news and one strategist bought a TRGT May 5 – 10 bearish risk-reversal on the stock for 30 cents, 5000X (sold calls to buy puts). It might be a closing trade or possibly a bet on further losses for the stock, which is currently on the Short Sale Restricted list.
Implied Volatility Mover
Active trading continues in the iPath Short-Term Futures Fund (NYSEARCA:VXX). Shares are down 26 cents to $20 and an Apr 20 straddle was recently sold on the ETF at $3.49, 6700X. 26050 of the at-the-money Apr 20 puts now traded on the fund. Earlier in the day, a 19500-contract block of Sep 12 puts traded on VXX for 52 cents per contract on ISE. Data indicate an opening buyer and it probably adds to positions opened yesterday for 45 cents (see 3/19 color). Apri 16, 18 and 19 puts are actively traded as well. The April 20 is the most active call option. Total volume is 87,000 calls and 141,000 puts. VXX is down again today despite a 4.6 point loss in the S&P and a .25-point gain in VIX. Shares of the volatility fund have tumbled 28.2 percent since Feb 10.
Unusual Volume Movers
Bullish flow detected in Suntech Power (NYSE:STP), with 8664 calls trading, or 3x the recent avg daily call volume in the name.
Bullish flow detected in Yingli Green Energy (NYSE:YGE), with 5089 calls trading, or 4x the recent avg daily call volume in the name.
Bullish flow detected in Sothebys (NYSE:BID), with 5778 calls trading, or 3x the recent avg daily call volume in the name.
Meanwhile, unusually high options volume is being seen in Oracle (NYSE:ORCL), Tiffany (NYSE:TIF), and Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN).

I work at a hospital and heard the drs talking about the FDA banning Darvon (darvocette). It is being abused and there have been 2,000 deaths in one year due to misuse of this drug. I know its an older drug, but I have heard that it helps many people with Fibro. Such a shame for the people who truly need these drugs. Hang in there!!!
Ya gotta know the relationship of the DEA to Congress, and the Relationship of the hugh Pharmaceutical Lobbyists in Washington, and the horrible condition of the stock market. Of course they are going to enforce a crackdown on old meds that cost $50.00 for a months supply and have three or so generics. This is so to promote the "designer meds", at $500.00 a refill. The salvation of the Country depends on taking advantage of pensioners, in favor of the "religious right". Gosh Darn you don't appear to be suffering enough. There's salvation in suffering (as long as it kills you).
I have a friend with prostrate swelling, very painful, and a knee with bone spurs who has to keep going despite it all, b/c there is a family to support He works in the woods as well as raises cattle. He was put on Lyrica for the pain. He is so doped up, and dizzy, he can't do anything. He gets absolutely no relief from the pain, whatsoever as the problems he is having have nothing to do with neurological issues. It cost him almost $200.00 for a months supply. This is an honest church going man, salt of the earth. Will give you the shirt off his back and not steal it back from you. This is rediculous. Amen.

Our core values help describe what makes the Club a unique and special place to work. These values are core to the way all of us work to achieve the Club's mission and aspirations. The Club's core values are a part of its culture, but they do not define the culture. Our culture is a shared system of values, beliefs and behaviors that collectively determine how things are done in our organization; it includes but is not limited to values. The two align to reinforce each other.
1. Integrity and Transparency
We conduct our business with honesty and integrity without compromising the truth. We are committed to open, honest, direct, and timely communication; we give due respect to self and others, and maintain a positive environment of team work and growth.
2. Pursue Excellence
We set the bar at providing the highest quality club experience and achieving excellence each day. We cultivate a commitment to excellence and the discipline to continually improve in our daily pursuit of excellence.
3. Proactive Collaboration
We work collaboratively both inside and outside of the Club to avoid reinventing the wheel and to accomplish more than what is possible in a vacuum. We recognize that optimizing our impact happens when we leverage diverse backgrounds, unique contributions, and many perspectives.
4. Unconditional Ownership
We own individual and group accountability for program quality, rigorous assessment, results, actions, and decisions without excuses. We hold ourselves accountable to measurable outcomes as a foundation of our work.
5. Follow Through
Talking the talk is good, but walking the walk is critical. We strive to transform plans to practice through carefully planned, sequenced, and well-executed goals, strategies and actions.
6. People Power
We invest in our staff; our people power our mission; we are committed to providing a safe and stimulating environment, and the resources to strengthen leadership, professional development, and build capacity to drive quality, satisfaction, and increased impact.
7. Finding Fun and Work Life Balance
The work that we do is very rewarding and challenging. We work hard and play hard. Maintaining a healthy work and life balance keeps us grounded in the work. It is important to have fun and celebrate small successes in our journey to achieve big; we spend time outside of work doing things that fuel our passions.

Stephenville, Texas (PressExposure) May 26, 2007 -- Michael Tummillo, Founder and President of t.e.a.m. ministries International, proudly announced Friday, May 25th that his online ministry has launched a new website, [http://www.YourTown4Jesus.com]. His ministry focuses on encouraging and discipling the Body of Christ across denominational lines.
Tummillo said, "This new site has one very unique feature: It's called RSS (Really Simple Syndication). To you "Geeks" out there who may be laughing, all I can say is, "well, it's NEW to me!"
What's RSS?
RSS allows you to get the latest updated articles that are posted on this new site without visiting the webpage to go looking for them. Also, you no longer have to scan my verbose articles sent via email UNLESS you choose to go and read them at your leisure, or unless you simply prefer good ol' fashioned eMail.
RSS allows readers to get writings from their favorite authors and websites automatically instead of visiting sites manually or reading intrusive emails. "By using this technology, my online ministry now has a way to inform you of any new content. By signing up for RSS on your favorite websites - mine included - you are now, essentially, able to create your own virtual newspaper, loaded with the stuff YOU CHOOSE to read. Very cool!"
Tummillo added, "One other item worth noting, the ADMIN section of my new site allows me to view statistical data as well. I can determine how many visitors used a PC vs. a Mac (71% so far use Mac), peak viewing times, etc. Nearly 3,000 visitors have looked at the site already... and I hadn't even announced it! Among these have been readers from Russia, Germany, Scotland, Nigeria, Rwanda, Japan and Brazil. A friend I saw last night said he "accidentally" stumbled upon the new site during development when he typed in .com instead of .org."
For more on RSS, click on "how do I do RSS" on the side bar and it will explain everything in a simple video. Click on the little orange icon on the URL of the browser; that is the RSS feed. If you get stuck and are unable to negotiate the site, Tummillo admits that he had the same problem. "I couldn't even view my own site as it was in development."
Keith Broadbent of Colorado, designer and webmaster for the site, said, "To maximize your internet experience, update to the BEST BROWSER available, the newest version of Firefox. You can do this at the site. Outdated browsers won't get the most current content from the Web, an ever-evolving beast." He exhorts,"Go on, it's easy!"
Tummillo said, "From time to time, we will include video feeds of musicians, guest speakers...things that we feel will bless your socks off! We are considering doing a podcast as well...whatever THAT is," he jests.
Feedback is always welcome...positive and negative. After navigating the new site, Tummillo asks if viewers would let him know if there's anything that needs improvement... or tell him how wonderful you thought it was! "Please make any comments directly FROM the new site so we can test that out as well."

Time to Stop Pitting One American Against AnotherCommentary by Pete du Pont
March 03, 2000
In modern campaigns, there are a few things you come to expect. Republicans will always be accused of endangering Social Security and Medicare, and giving tax breaks to the rich. Democrats conversely will be described as tax and spend liberals who care more about butterflies than jobs, and who are in bed with trial lawyers and union bosses.
While tiring, and not always accurate, I can understand these types of arguments being used to distinguish one's self from an opponent in the needed 30-second sound byte. What I will never get used to, however, is when people use issues like race and religion to pit one group of Americans against another in the name of votes. Unfortunately, it is happening more and more, by candidates in both parties, and it is repugnant in every instance.
This is a consistent problem on the Democratic side of the ballot. Both candidates continually claim that both Republicans have wrapped themselves in the Confederate flag. In fact, in a recent debate sponsored by CNN and the Los Angeles Times, both Democratic candidates accused the Republicans of wanting to return to ol'conservative ideas (read, old south racist ideas).
At one point in the debate, CNN analyst Jeff Greenfield asked both candidates why they have been so quick to criticize the Republicans while not condemning bigots in their own party: neither Gore nor Bradley have condemned inflammatory language used by the Rev. Al Sharpton. Gore retorted, "I do condemn the language that he used." But then he quickly followed up saying, "But in America we believe in redemption." Bradley echoed Gore's sentiment about redemption and then spent the rest of his time justifying Sharpton's role: "The real question here is how do the voiceless get a voice? It sometimes takes someone that rubs a part of the population the wrong way." In other words, I need the votes of his supporters.
The Republican side has been no better. Ever since his defeat in South Carolina, Sen. McCain has made a concerted effort to use religion to pit one group of Americans against another in the hope that it will generate crucial votes. For example, McCain paid for taped phone calls that warned Michigan Catholics that Gov. Bush spoke at the now infamous Bob Jones University, which is an institution that is anti-Catholic and bans inter-racial dating. The implication: Gov. Bush is either anti-Catholic himself or is at least "in bed" with people who are.
While I agree that Bob Jones is not someone Bush should consider for his running-mate, candidates for president have been speaking at the college for years. In fact, McCain himself had urged his staff to arrange a speaking engagement there before the controversy erupted. Continuing the theme, calls are being made to New York Catholics claiming that Bush is seeking the support of "Southern Fundamentalists." And an unnamed McCain aid was quoted in Time magazine saying, "We're willing to concede the Confederacy."
This behavior by all four candidates is distressing and should stop immediately. They should instead focus their energy on attempts to bring Americans together. A good place to start would be for them to read the new book by Ward Connerly entitled "Creating Equal: My Fight Against Preferences." Connerly, you may recall, is the black conservative who made headlines as the University of California regent who proposed the university end racial quotas in its admissions process.
Connerly, who spoke to a recent NCPA luncheon, rightly points out that if we are ever going to heal the racial wounds in American, we need to get past putting people in categories. Prejudice grows from racial or religious stereotypes. If we are ever to conquer prejudice, Connnerly instructs, we need to work everyday to break the harmful stereotypes about people who are different from ourselves. After all, race is increasingly becoming a moot point in many places. For example, in California one out of every three marriages is interracial, and fourteen percent of all births are biracial. The old stereotypes no longer fit, not that they really ever did.
Honorable men who want to be the first president of the 21st Century should stop pitting one group of Americans against another by playing to their stereotypes and fears. They may win votes that way, but they won't be worthy of winning.
The National Center for Policy Analysis is a public policy research institute founded in 1983 and internationally known for its studies on public policy issues. The NCPA is headquartered in Dallas, Texas, with an office in Washington, D.C.

TONY EASTLEY: The US President is due to touch down in Jakarta today, returning to the city where he attended primary school in the late 1960s.
He's expected to formalise a so called 'Comprehensive Partnership' with Indonesia during his short visit.
But achieving closer military ties, for instance, may be quite difficult because of the emergence of a video of Indonesian troops torturing people in Papua.
Indonesia correspondent, Matt Brown, reports from Jakarta.
MATT BROWN: When Barack Obama went to school here, played chasings with the other kids and got a taste for the local spicy treats these streets were dirt. These days they are choked with traffic the very centre of a metropolis of 15 million people.
Indonesia too has changed a great deal since the young boy, then known then as Barry, came here at the dawn of General Suharto's authoritarian New Order regime.
But his old school friends, like Rully Dusaat, think the boy they dubbed 'Chubby Barry' has carried with him some positive values learned during his Indonesian boyhood.
RULLY DUSAAT: That is the year when you learn something which forming your basic personality. Because Barry grew up for some years in Indonesia that one thing for sure that he learn is to share.
MATT BROWN: The hard diplomatic core of this trip will be a Comprehensive Partnership between Indonesia and the US. Formalising an agreement for greater cooperation in education and combating climate change; deeper military ties are also well under way.
But human rights groups, like the West Papua Advocacy Team, warn the US is moving too quickly.
Ed McWilliams was stationed here as US diplomat in the late 1990s as Suharto's regime gave way to the reform movement. A process he says is still stymied by the armed forces
ED MCWILLIAMS: Failing to address the fact that the military is essentially a rogue military, that it is unaccountable for its abuses is a problem for US policy in so far as the military represents a threat to Indonesian democracy.
MATT BROWN: A graphic video which emerged on the internet last month showing Indonesian soldiers torturing two Papuan men, brought this issue to the fore.
Indonesia's President was quick to promise an investigation.
But there's still no news about the investigation and a military trial which got underway on Friday proved to be about a previous, more mild case, of videoed abuse.
ED MCWILLIAMS: Essentially this is an unaccountable military and because of this impunity this military continues to abuse human rights, realising down at the ground level that they will not be punished for the crimes they commit.
MATT BROWN: In the end Mount Merapi in central Java could have the final say.
If it spews out enough ash to stop Air Force One making the trip safely, President Obama will have to cancel for a third time this year.
This is Matt Brown in Jakarta for AM.
The full story...
Obama heads to Indonesia
Matt Brown reported this story on Tuesday, November 9, 2010 08:09:00
TONY EASTLEY: The US President is due to touch down in Jakarta today, returning to the city where he attended primary school in the late 1960s.

Exclusive Clip from Zombie Comedy Fido and More!
by Alex Billington
June 28, 2007
If you're still considering whether or not to go see the zombie comedy Fido when it hits the theaters in a few more cities next week, then watch this clip. This is such a great movie and I can't emphasize enough that every last person should go see it. Even if you don't like zombie movies, it's still enjoyable; and especially if you love zombie movies, it's perfect.
Lionsgate has provided us with an exclusive clip you won't find anywhere else and it's one of the funnier scenes. There's also a practical guide to keeping zombies as pets put together by the National Post for Fido that's quite fun. Check out the clip and more after the jump.
Watch the clip titled "Fetch" here:
And if you want to watch the full trailer, you can do so right here as well.
For those of you in San Francisco, Seattle, San Diego, Boston, or Denver, you can catch the film in the following theaters starting on July 6th:
San Francisco - Landmark Lumiere
Seattle - Landmark Varisty
San Diego - Landmark Hillcrest
Boston - Landmark Kendall Square
Denver - Landmark Esquire (Special screening coming up next week - one night only. For more info!)
For those of you in Los Angeles and New York, it's already playing in a few select indie theaters, so check your local art house listings.
The Canadian newspaper National Post put together a practical guide to keeping zombies as pets for Fido, which you can print out and read at their site. Given Fido is all about keeping zombies as pets, it serves its purpose well. Now only if we could actually get real zombies as pets…
Click to view it full size. (Words by Andrew Barr. Art by Andrew Barr and Leigh Young.)
Again, I really suggest you go see this movie if you have the chance, which isn't going to be for very long. I saw it at Sundance and loved it (read the review), and everyone else I know that has seen it has said the same. Hardly any bad reviews have been written (via Rotten Tomatoes) and it's really just a great film, so enjoy!

THUNDER: With the youth and inexperience of Oklahoma City, it seems like the Western Conference Finals is all but over. The Thunder were in command of Game 4 for the first 43 minutes before ultimately crumbling and losing in overtime. Oklahoma City now must win 3 straight games, 2 of which will be played in Dallas to make the NBA Finals. The Thunder can take solace in the fact they won Game 2 in Dallas. Oklahoma City is 28-20 SU and 26-21 ATS in road games this season. The Thunder are 3-2 ATS as a road underdog between 6.5 and 9 points this year. F Kevin Durant had a team high 29 points and 15 rebounds in the Game 4 loss. However, Durant needs to be more efficient in the closing minutes of the 4th quarter. PG Russell Westbrook quite simply needs to do a better job of leading his team and executing the offense for the Thunder. Westbrook did have 19 points, 8 assists, and 8 rebounds in the Game 4 loss. F Nick Collison has been a revelation for Oklahoma City, as he's contributed solid offense while playing outstanding defense on Dirk Nowitzki. Collison played 31 minutes in Game 4 and had 12 points and 7 rebounds. The Thunder are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss. Oklahoma City is 20-7 ATS in their last 27 games as a road underdog between 5 and 10.5 points. The Thunder are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 Wednesday games. Oklahoma City is 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. The Thunder are 11-5-1 ATS in their last 17 road games.
Projected Score: 98 (SIDE of the Day)
Thunder are 4-1 ATS last 5 games following a SU loss.
Over is 6-0 last 6 games following an ATS loss.
MAVERICKS: (-6.5, O/U 198.5) Dallas is 1 win away from the NBA Finals, thanks to a historic 4th Quarter comeback. The Mavericks trailed the Thunder by 15 points with just more than 5 minutes left in regulation. Dallas played stellar defense and was able to ride the hot hand of F Dirk Nowitzki yet again. Nowitzki had a game high 40 points in the Game 4 win, including a critical 12 points during a key 17-2 run late in regulation. PG Jason Kidd had 17 points and a team high 7 assists, as well as 4 critical steals. Dallas is 35-13 SU and 25-21 ATS in home games this season. The Mavericks are 7-9 ATS this season as a home favorite between 6.5 and 9 points this year. Dallas is an unbelievable 13-1 ATS in all playoff games this season. The Mavericks are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 home games. Dallas is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600%. The Mavericks are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 playoff games as the listed favorite. Dallas is 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games playing on 1 days rest. The Mavericks are 20-6-1 ATS in their last 27 games against the Western Conference. The Mavericks are 40-18-1 ATS in their last 59 games following a SU win. Dallas is 34-16-2 ATS in their last 52 games following an ATS win. The Mavericks are 34-16-1 ATS in their last 51 games overall. Dallas is 37-18 ATS in their last 55 Wednesday games. The Mavericks are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game.
Projected Score: 99
Mavericks are 9-1 ATS last 10 games as a home favorite.
Over is 12-2 last 14 home games against a team with a winning road record.

…only without the wheel and Patrick Swayze behind me. That's what it was like opening up my new jar of Raspberry N Honey Facial Mask from Zosimos Botanicals.
I was lucky enough to win this mask from a giveaway over at Sparkle*Shelf, and boy, am I glad all that clicking paid off. I gotta admit, I was nervous about this because I have a horrible aversion to Raspberry. I mean, the smell just makes me…well, not very happy. So, you know I was wanting to try this, if I was willing to gamble that this was going to be heavily Raspberry scented. I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that it wasn't fragrancy (yeah, that word works here) – it smelled like really good clay.
I did not have a brush to apply this, as suggested, but I managed to smear it all over my face very easily. I lazed around watching the Olympics Closing Ceremony for a bit, while the mask dried. It did not dry too hard that it hurt (my face can be sensitive to things somtimes). I could feel it tightening up as it dried, but not uncomfortably. After 10min I used a damp cloth to clean the mask off, and it came off so easily. There was no scrubbing or redness. Just a nice smooth face, that I patted dry. After it dried, I noticed that my face was not red or overly tight. That was such a treat. The pores on my nose seemed noticeably smaller, too.
My face is fairly normal, not overly oily, so I didn't really a lot of results from this mask. But, I must say that I liked the fact that with all of the natural oils and honey, my face felt moisturized after a drying mask. Quite a feat.
I must also mention that my jar came to me very quickly and in a very neat little drawstring bag and a nice handwritten note. I like those kind of personal touches in customer service. For that alone I would recommend anyone looking to try a more natural approach to skincare. However, I can happily add the Raspberry N Honey Face mask to that recommendation, too.
*I would like to thank Marie over at Sparkle*Shelf for hosting the giveaway and Linda over at Zosimos Botanicals for providing the mask.

Horse's Natural Cadence
Speed does not create forward movement. In fact, a horse increases the speed stiffening the back muscles. The question may be, when forward movement stops and speed commences? Studies have been done about the concept of the horse's natural cadence. One researched focused on oxygen intake. For a given oxygen intake, there is a speed where the horse covers a greater distance. The other study focused on muscle fatigue. For instance, at a fast walk, a horse consumes more muscular energy than at a slow trot. The horse natural cadence is the cadence where the horse's metabolism functions at maximum efficiency consuming minimum muscular work.
Each horse does have his own cadence. Speed is faster that the horse's natural cadence. Each time Chazot is finding his natural cadence, the movement is more fluid and the trot becomes longer and more rhythmic.
Earlier on we were talking about a rising trot where the rider's tights and knees are moving downward allowing the rider seat to remain close from the saddle. The technique permits to slow the rider's body movements suggesting to the horse to slow down the cadence of the trot until the horse finds the comfort of his natural cadence. For some horses the natural cadence will be slower. For other horses the natural cadence will be faster. The common denominator for every horse is the feeling of ease, suspension, amplitude and rhythm.
The search for the horse's natural cadence needs to be done with long reins and minimum contact. If the nose is pushing on the bit, his back will be contracted and he will be unable to achieve the back muscles' coordination leading the natural cadence.

What greets this week is the Magician (card 1)
We have met the Magician before, he starts the journey we are to make, and is the sign of a new cycle. He is surrounded by all four suits of the Tarot (the four elements and also the use of the mind, heart, body and soul). He holds a staff pointing to Heaven and his hand down to the earth – signifying that he channels the power from heaven, through his body and into the physical plane – whilst he is surrounded by symbols of eternity. We start a new cycle this week, in which we can manifest our deepest desires by utilizing the powers of the Universe. However, before you ask, go within to work out and clarify what your underlying motives and intentions are. Once you have a clear understanding of what it is you are attempting to manifest – then Focus. The Magician is the card of power, concentration and action.
What meets this week is The Lovers (card 6)
This card shows two lovers and an Angel (usually interpreted as Raphael, Angel of Healing and dressed in green). Apart from the fairly obvious interpretation of this being a card of love, union, relationship etc. the card on a more personal level speaks to us about working out of our own personal belief system and what we really stand for. It is time to work out your true values (this harks back again to the Magician as well) – you will then be confronted by a choice on a grand scale – which may involve making a choice between two different courses of action, one of which will lead to a dead-end and the other one who knows where? The choice we are required to make this week is not an easy one – and we can only make it if the choice is informed by a clear knowledge of what we really believe in. So again, the Focus is internal to start with, work out what we want, work out how to make a choice that is in alignment with our deepest held beliefs. If we choose the easier route, it may lead to the moral low-ground, be sure to consider honestly whether the easy choice is what you really want – it may give us a quick 'fix' but we ultimately may have to 'unchoose' that road again because it goes against what we know is 'right'.
At the end of the week stands the Chariot (card 7)
Imagine if you can for a moment, driving a Chariot which is being drawn by two sphinxes (or horses) into the heat of battle. Other Chariots are zooming round you, there are no traffic lights – earth flying, battle cries and you are to control this fast moving chariot. Then look at the card (sorry the photo is so blurry). Not only is there no sign of fear on the face of the occupant of the Chariot, he is not even holding the reins. There are no reins. What the driver does hold is the wand held by the Magician – meaning that he controls the chariot through strength of will alone. He is driving away from the city – the material world and is surrounded by a canopy covered in stars, indicating heavenly factors affecting his success. He wears a crown made of laurels and stars – indicating a high level of enlightenment. The black and white sphinxes indicate balance – the union of dark and light and all other polarities into one unified whole. It is time to be strong, and ask for what you want clearly and without any worries – but that asking has to come from faith within yourself and what you stand for (thus harking back to the Lovers card which asked us to make this internal journey). The Chariot tells us that if we come from a place of authenticity and focus, we can have what we want, as long as we remain confident and in control.
Overall this week then – a time to clarify who we are, what we really believe in, and what we really want to achieve. A time to use all our powers of body, mind, soul and heart and examine our motivations. Once we know what motivates us, ask for what we want and focus, using will and confidence that we will achieve it. Overall a very positive reading, providing we do the internal work first.
Have a great week everyone.

Several times i've meant to update everyone. I turn on the computer.... then fall asleep, lol. Motherhood is so new and demanding, i'm glad you guys were able to find updates!
My labor was very intense. Thank goodness for my husband and my doula, because i never would have made it without them. I am definatley NOT the poster child for natural childbirth, and to be honest, i'm not sure i would attempt a natural delivery again. Time will tell.
Two days before delivering, I was having bouts of contractions that were mild, but would eventually peeter out after a few hours. On Saturday, Oct 2nd, I had a huge nesting rush. I woke at 5am, and felt the need to clean our european oven before turning it on for the season. I spent 2 hours on the project. Took the doors off all the ovens and soaped down the enamel. Then crawled around on the floor trying to get the gas started. I started having contractions after that.. they were strong, but fizzled out. My cleaning binge continued, and i scrubbed the tub, shower, and sink.
The next morning I tossed and turned starting around 4 am. Just couldn't get comfortable, and seemed to have having contractions every time i rolled over. I got up for awhile, but they kept coming. I tried to return to bed, but by this point, they were too intense to be able to sleep. Around 8, I woke my husband, and told him that i was pretty sure i was in labor, and didn't plan on going to church. I labored at home all day. Went for walks, used the birthing ball, napped between contractions in the bathtub, and had visitors over for distractions. My friend Samantha came over, and was only over about a half hour, when my labor seemed to have taken a turn. Everyhting was suddenly much more intense, and i needed My husband to lean into and rub my back. I was becoming more vocal. Dh thought it might be time to call the hospital, but i didn't think so. I just really didn't want to be only 2 cm when i got there. At this point, they were 4 min apart and lasting about a minute. We called and ended up going in to be seen around midnight.
At the hospital I was found to be 5cm 100% effaced at 0 station, with a bulging bag of waters. At this point they asked me what my plans were as far as pain relief. I told them i was planning on going natural, and that my doula was on the way. The midwife was shocked, she didn't believe i was really in labor until she checked me. The doctor on call (who i had never met, and didn't particularly like) asked her behind the curtain, if i was ready for my epidural, and she said "I don't think she's gonna need one." That was a real confidence booster for me. I was then moved over to the birthing room. The doctor came in a little later to check my progress (which didn't make any sense because i had just gotten there). He reccomend that i let him break my water, so i progress quicker because he didn't want me to get tired. I christened him doctor barbie. He was young and blonde.... and pissed me off. I refused and said i wanted to labor on my own.
My doula arrived, and we immediately started walking, using the birthing ball, and trying many positions in the bed. She was great, and knew just how to press on my back to relieve the contraction completely. I ran into my friend Jenny in the hallway. (She's a fellow nurse) I asked her if they got a lot of women trying for natural births. She said flat out, no. People usually got the epidural as soon as humanly possible. She was impressed that I was walking around, talking to friends at 5cm dilated. My nurse said i really made her night, because she never got to help a woman towards a natural birth.
A couple hours later, things started feeling really intense, and i was wondering if i could make it. My nurse was clever though. When i started voicing curiosity about medication, she went and found someone to check me. I was 7 cm, and this gave me new motivation. The next hour was hard though. I was unable to sit now, as he was putting so much pressure on my back and tail bone. I paced back and forth, and was pretty agitated. I remember my doula was telling me how great i was doing, and i told her to shut up, and crossed the room to cry on my husband's shoulder. I kept begging them for medicine, but of course if the provider asked i still refused. I got so loud at one point, that the midwife came in to see if i was complete. I was 8cm, and i let her break my water at that point.
After breaking my water, i had instant pain relief. The pressure on my back was gone. I was pretty tired at this point so i continued labor in the bed, sitting up though, to make use of gravity. The contractions were more powerful. Somehow at this point, I started coping even better with them. I went inside my mind and met the pain head on and breathed through it. (It was odd, I didn�t actively use my hypnobabies during labor. But I did find myself using it here. When I blocked everything out, I found myself thinking �The stronger my pressure waves are, the closer I am to meeting my baby. The stronger they are, the more hypnoanesthesia is released into my bloodstream. Unortunatley this only worked when I was very still and concentrating. It was hard to stay in that place.) Everyone in the room says they had no idea what was going on, because i was not reacting in any way to anything. The only way they knew i was having contractions, was because the monitor told them so.
Here is where everything got screwy. Very soon it was 6:45am and close to change of shift. "Dr. Ken" was about to leave and wanted to check me. I was at -1 station, and 9 1/2 with an anterior lip. He had me push through it wish was a HUGE mistake. I then realized that i had complete pain relief with pushing..... and couldn't stop. The doctor asked me to stop� I just couldn�t. After that i was unable to get back into my "zone". I asked the doctor for some nubain, but he said I was too close to delivering, and that it would compromise the respiratory status of my baby. My nurse had to go home, and gave me a hug. She was amazing and ended up visiting me the next day. I met the next doctor (whose name i can't remember, but I really liked him) and he checked me, and encouraged me to try to stop pushing. I could not... The pushing was tiring me out though and i was starting to lose it. I was quivering all over and started vomiting. I knew the end was near... just not near enough.
I had been pushing a long time... and was starting to scream and the world, and begged for medication. Again, no one responded. Until the doctor came in again. He came in, I looked at him and screamed "Nubain, PLEASE!" He listened and gave it immediately. I finally gained some control back. I was able to relax between contractions finally, but still had the overwhelming urge to push. It didn't take the pain away... just somehow took the edge off i guess. I pushed for another hour... (a total of 3) and Teddy's head was on my perineum. And there it stayed. I didn't make any progress after that. I was discouraged, and so VERY TIRED. The doctor offered to help me with a vaccum delivery but I refused, and grew more tired and discouraged. When the doctor appeared a little later, I said I was ready to accept his help now. He was very kind, and I didn�t feel pressured at all� I just really needed it to be over. He and the resident carefully applied that vaccum, and in 3 pushes, Teddy was out. 7lbs 1oz, and kinda purple, but pinked up and screamed immediately after getting sucked out with the nasal aspirator. (or so I�m told)
I really don�t remember much. I feel like the world was crashing around me. He was out, and it was over. Sadly those were my only thoughts. I wasn�t curious about my baby. I easily pushed out the placenta. And then there was the very long time they spent stitching me up. (I had an episiotomy to accommodate the vaccum, though the doctor said I would have needed one anyway.) When they were done. I finally pulled my legs down�. They were so stiff from pushing, that I could barely move them, and I remember them being so painful. They tried to hand teddy to me, but I couldn�t bend my fingers are move my arms to well, because I�d been pulling on my legs for so long. I might have been apathetic in the beginning, but I remembered my priorities. I really wanted to breastfeed immediately. I fumbled with my bra, and he latched immediately. It was short lived though because the nurses were pretty much holding him for me because I didn�t have the strength. They handed him off to my husband. I was given some percocet and I just rested for an hour.
My body finally calmed a bit and I asked for my baby. He was so beautiful. It was like I was seeing him for the first time. I tried nursing him again, much more successfully this time. I was totally in awe that my body was able to do this. I was also feeling very humbled by my birth experience. I spent my pregnancy not being worried at all about labor and delivery, and I think not really respecting the process.
The majority of the first week, I was pretty traumatized. I was mad at myself for even trying to go natural because it was so painful. And then also mad at myself for making it so far, and having such a different ending than I had in mind. But as days went by, I started to have an epiphony of sorts. I returned to JM, and was checking to see how my DDC was doing. Everyone was talking about the complications from their epidurals, and being hospitalized for spinal headaches. I was immediately relieved. I may not have had the most satisfying birth, but It was definatley worth while and gave me and my son a great start. I healed very quickly. I was up and about. And my son�s first doc appt a lady asked if Teddy was 3wks old, and I told her 3days. She was shocked, and said �you look amazing for being 3 days post partum!� My episiotomy is already mostly healed, and I have no pain there. My only pain is sore muscles from pushing, and pain from a hemorhoid. In hindsight, I think I did ok.
