Mr. Aach was the owner of Roy L. Aach & Associates, a consulting engineering firm established in Clayton, MO in 1967, and later located in Florida and finally, in DeSoto, Missouri. He completed high school in three years, and graduated Washington University School of Engineering at the age of 18 in 1947, being at that time, one of the youngest men to have ever graduated from that prestigious school. His degree was in mechanical engineering, and he was a Professional Engineer in over 40 states, overseeing building projects all over the country, including doing part of the electrical design work for the Museum of Westward Expansion at the St. Louis Gateway Arch.

In the 1940's, he was hired to be a pianist for the Tommy Dorsey band from a tape his mother took to an audition, but he turned the job down, deciding instead to pursue his engineering career.
Roy was a lifelong sports lover – and a passionate fan of St. Louis teams: the Blues, the "Big Red" football Cardinals, the St. Louis Rams and the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team. He passed that love on to his kids.
Mr. Aach was a member of the Village Lutheran Church in Ladue, Missouri, and St. Armand's Key Lutheran Church in Sarasota, Florida.
Survivors include three children born of Mr. Aach's marriage to Celeste Weinstein (Molos)(d., 8/22/1970): Robyn Green (husband, Martin) of Milton, Vermont, Randall Aach (wife, Sherrie) of Chesterfield, MO, and Karen Lamberg of Maryland Heights, MO, along with two much-loved step-daughters from his 35+ year marriage to Beverly Aach (d., 7/9/2013): Bev Schuette (husband, Art) of Hartford, CT, and Judith Wilson (husband, Don) of Mountain View, MO.

Private burial will be at Coldwater Cemetery, 15290 Old Halls Ferry Rd., Florissant, Missouri 63033. No public memorial service is planned. The family suggests that in lieu of flowers, donations should be made to one of the following: Mountain View Public Library, Mountain View, MO (http://mvpubliclibrary.webs.com/); the St. Louis Symphony (https://www.stlsymphony.org/contribution/), or American Cancer Society (https://donate.cancer.org/index) in the name of Roy L.

Opal is survived by her husband, Roy Everett Routh; four children, Rose (Betty) and husband, Bill Miller, of Willow Springs, MO, Roy Jr. and wife, Wanda, of Mountain View, MO, Regina Tuttle and husband, Johnny, of New Bloomfield, MO and Rick Routh of Nashville, Tennessee; four siblings, Erma Ramsey of Phoenix, Arizona, Wanda Pierce of Kansas, Betty Rickus of Baxter, Tennessee and Margie Bradshaw of Licking, Missouri; nine grandchildren, BJ Miller and wife, Celena, of Raymondville, MO, Joleen Sharpe and husband, Albert, of Willow Springs, MO, Tyrel Routh and wife, Janelle, of Tuttle, Oklahoma, Kelsey Perkins and husband, Jamie, of Mountain View, MO, Dustin, Brittany, and Brooke Tuttle of Mountain View, MO, and Amelia and Allison Routh of Mountain View, MO; and seven great grandchildren, Tolonqua, William, Raegan, Peyton, Gracie, Justin, and Renae.
Opal was first of all a wife and mother and wonderful homemaker. She had in the past worked on several occasions at shoe factories and made many friends at those times. She loved birds, especially humming birds and flowers. She loved canning, especially green beans and making baby quilts. However, Opals heart passion was her love for God and working for Him. She loved going to church, revivals, gospel singings, and ladies meetings. She had a heart for cooking up famous homemade chicken and noodles for the congregations at church social times. She also loved bringing not only her families but the pastors, evangelists, and many friends and acquaintances to enjoy her fine foods in her home; especially her unique-to-many, but familiar to her family, "pea tacos"!
The last couple of years have been very difficult for her with multiple illnesses but Opal's love for her family never tired or diminished and her love for her beloved husband seemed to grow deeper with each passing day. Those who knew them and saw them out, knew they were ever together, often holding hands in public as well as at home.
She touched many lives through the years even continuing to do so over the last few weeks as she lay sick in the Nursing Home where she had lived for the last five months with her husband. On the morning of her passing from this life to a better one, many of the staff who worked there were seen to shed tears. They along with her family, friends, and loved ones mourn, not for her passing on into a better life, but for themselves as together, we realize what a truly wonderful lady has graced our lives for the past 77 years. She will be deeply missed by all….

Medical care mission names new leader
Debra G. Weishuhn-Burchett has been selected as the new executive director of the Presbyterian Medical Care Mission.
She is currently director of business and finance at Fort Bend Christian Academy in Sugar Land, where she has been since 2005.
A four-person selection committee headed by Abilene dentist Dr. Terry Bawcom interviewed her and two other top candidates. The full board then voted, approving the selection committee recommendation.
Her resume lists financial accounting, budget preparation/implementation, treasury management/risk management, payroll administration, tax exempt financing/compliance, technology/facility management, income taxation, and litigation support/forensic accounting among her skills.
"She's going to be a tremendous asset to us," said Mike Woodard, Presbyterian Medical Care Mission board chairman, praising her extensive business background with a nonprofit organization.
Fort Bend Christian Academy has 900 students, 130 regular employees and 80 seasonal employees. Among extensive other duties, she is responsible for development and administration of a roughly $12 million yearly budget, including management of $30 million in property, plant and equipment, on a 40-acre campus.
Her first day is May 15. She replaces Scott Golding. Golding was relieved of his duties with the Medical Care Mission because of differences with its board over the nonprofit's vision and priorities, the Reporter-News reported previously.
The Medical Care Mission, which serves low-income clients, has 60 volunteers and 10 full-time staff, including two physicians and two physician's assistants. It has 16,000 patient contacts per year.

Vanilla Snow
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup half-and-half
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 1-inch piece vanilla bean
- 1/4 cup egg whites (2 large eggs)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
In a small bowl, combine the milk, half-and-half, and 6 tablespoons sugar. Cut the vanilla bean in half the long way, and scrape out the tiny black seeds inside. Add the bean and the scrapings to the milk mixture. Stir with a spoon until the sugar is dissolved.
Put the egg whites into a clean metal bowl, and beat them with a whisk or beater until they are thick and white and will hold the shape of soft peaks when you lift up the whisk. Add 1 tablespoon sugar to the whites and beat until the form stiff peaks.
Remove the vanilla bean from the milk mixture. (If you let it dry, it can be used again for something else.) Add the egg whites to the milk mixture, and use a spatula to gently fold the two together. You can use a whisk to gently break up any large bits of whites. Freeze the mixture in an ice-cream freezer according to the directions.

By OGJ editors
HOUSTON, Aug. 10--The Jurassic Haynesville shale has yielded flow rates of a restricted 25-27 MMcfd of gas at 7,800-8,100 psi flowing pressure at two horizontal wells in a core area in Nacogdoches County, Texas, said EOG Resources Inc.
Those rates are the first 30-day average production levels at the Murray 1H and Crane 26-1H wells, in which EOG has 96% working interest.
The wells had initial production rates of 32 and 30 MMcfd at 9,700 and 9,200 psi flowing pressure, respectively, which EOG said makes them two of the top three Haynesville shale initial completion rates in Texas or Louisiana to date.
In the same sweet spot farther east in San Augustine County, Texas, the Walters 1H well had a restrictied initial production rate of 21 MMcfd of gas. EOG's working interest is 49%.
The Haynesville in this Texas core area is at 13,000-14,000 ft true vertical depth vs. 11,000-12,000 ft in Louisiana, EOG noted. The Texas Haynesville also has a better amount of clay, higher total organic carbon, and greater pressure. EOG said its all-in return rates exceed 30% in the Haynesville-Bossier play.
EOG also said that after several months of production the Bossier shale appears to be a separate target that performs as well as the Haynesville. For example, the Red River 5-3H well in DeSoto Parish, Louisiana, in which EOG has 100% working interest, began production at 15.2 MMcfd of gas with 6,750 psi flowing pressure.

GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- The heat is not only tough on humans. It can be difficult for animals as well, including those at the zoo.
Zookeepers at John Ball Zoo helped some of the animals, including the chimpanzees, keep cooler by feeding them chunks of ice with their afternoon meal.
Even though most chimps are from Africa where temperatures are quite often higher than we have had this week, those at the John Ball Zoo have been here for years and have acclimated themselves to our climate.

This ball looks and feels like a real baseball, but reacts like you would never expect. Its unpredictable bounce pattern enables you to improve your reflexes and fielding ability. Features: Off center weight causes ball to bounce erratically.
I don't know exactly what the training value may prove to be but so far, my son and some of his team mates are having a blast playing with it. If the kids are having fun, and learning a bit as well, it's worth the purchase
Cons: Priced a bit high for what it is
Bottom Line: I would recommend to a friend
Hot damn, looking pertty useful buddy.
Pros: Hot damn, looking pertty useful buddy.

Correctional Services
Volunteer Opportunities:
The Salvation Army Prison Ministry is a program that focuses on healing and restoration. The program vision is "To assist the community, inmates, and their families to heal from the trauma of crime and incarceration while breaking the cycle of generational incarceration." It is imperative to note the devastation that victims, offenders, community, and families face from crime.
The Salvation Army Prison Ministry takes a holistic approach toward this restoration. We realize at the Salvation Army the importance of ministering to the whole community affected by crime. The prison ministry program utilizes the Restorative Justice approach. Restorative Justice programs, therefore, enable the victim, the offender and affected members of the community to be directly involved in responding to the crime and restoration process.
The programs that we offer to meet those challenges include programming for inmates, their children, and victims of the crime to ensure that our communities heal and no one feels neglected.
Our founder William Booth has been quoted "While men go to prison, in and out, in and out, I'll fight. While there is one lost soul without the light of God I'll fight. I'll fight to the very end." This has been our marching orders since 1865 and we have not waivered from this mandate.
Our hope is that you will find a ministry helpful for any situation you may encounter.
- Prisoner Christmas Toy-lift Program- This program allows inmates to send a Christmas gift home to their child. The purpose is to let the child know that mom or dad has not forgotten about them and to keep the lines of communication open for restoration.
- New Beginnings Pre-release Life Skills Program- The Salvation Army Pre-release New Beginnings Reentry Life Skill Faith Based Reentry Program is a program that will support the inmate in his/her transition prior to release. The goal of the program is to work closely with the inmate 12 months prior to his/her release to overcome barriers that may prevent successful re-integration.
- Prison Greeting Card Ministry- The greeting card ministry gives the inmate an opportunity to send a greeting card home to their loved one. They have an opportunity to send birthday, Christmas, Easter, etc. greeting card to keep the communication open. This program is totally free to the inmate.
- Prisoner Clothing Program- The Salvation Army has created a clothing voucher for men and women returning from incarceration. In many cases the men and women need clothing for job interviews and everyday use. This program will give them a fresh start toward their goal of successful reintegration.
- Discovery Camp- This camp is for children between the ages of 8 and 14 that have a parent or parents incarcerated. Each year the Salvation Army selects one hundred twenty-five children to participate in a three day weekend summer camp. No cost.
- The Joshua Project- The Salvation Army has an alternative school program for children that are the custody of Jackson County Family Court. Throughout the year the children come to the Salvation Army Bellefontaine Corps to receive assistance in keeping them productive while learning skills that will assist in securing vision for their future.
- Bible Correspondence Course- These Bible courses are available FREE to any person in a correctional institution. The courses follow in consecutive order. As soon as one course is completed and returned for grading, the next course is automatically sent to the student. All courses require the use of a Bible and a study guide. The study guide is included with the lesson.
- Project 64130- Project 64130 is a collaborative effort of concerned citizens, agencies, and faith based communities seeking to restore 64130 back to a safe and nurturing environment. Crime has totally devastated the 64130 community and the collateral damage is almost immeasurable. In order to attack this plague that has caused severe deterioration, it will require strategic planning, dedication, and prayer to shore up this weakening of the 64130 community.
- Job Placement- The Salvation Army assists in job placement and development. During our clients incarceration they receive job skills programming to help them prepare for job interviews and job placement. After release we try to connect the client with job placement.
- Mentoring and Counseling- Our mentoring program is very important to the success of the inmate in his or her transition. Mentoring and one-on-one counseling gives the client a chance to begin a build a positive relationship and help in the social barriers they may face upon release. The Salvation Army has for several years always visited the jails and prisons seeking that lost soul that just needs a friend.

A couple of weeks ago we launched the new Love By Action site (www.lovebyaction.org). Love By Action is a new organization whose purpose is to serve those in poverty, specifically in a slum area of Nairobi called 'Mathare'.
Organizations like Love By Action are the reason why Joshua One:Six exists.
Earlier this year we were able to travel to Nairobi, Kenya to see the work they are doing first hand. Seeing and being a part of the work happening on the ground allowed us to see the heart and catch the vision for their work, this has helped us to tell their story more effectively. Read MoreTweet
This year I really want to focus on embracing social media even more. Not just to read peoples tweets or Facebook updates but to offer resources, help others understand it and be more available to offer help when possible.
As many others i'm sure, i started to really paying attention to twitter in January 2010, right after the earthquake in Haiti. Somehow I came across Shaun King (@shaunking) and he was making huge moves to help people in Haiti from his location in Atlanta. A few months later, through twitter, I met a man who without really knowing me provided me with a flight, a place to stay and paid for my entrance to The Ideation Conference in Long Beach, California. Since then i've made some incredible contacts and friends using social media. Read MoreTweet

Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences
This page is designed for SLHS students of Junior and Senior standing to help guide them through the sometimes daunting and overwhelming task of applying to graduate schools. There are numerous links to helpful sources as well as downloadable files and information to assist in the process. Students are encouraged to thoroughly investigate each underlined link.
Message from the Faculty
A primary goal of SLHS faculty is to assist and guide each student who has a GPA of 3.0 or higher to successful graduate school placement. The success of the NMU SLHS graduate placement lies in the strong, academic, research, personal and clinical development leading to highly individualized applications. We believe in helping every student create his or her best impression in this very competitive process. Graduate placement as a result has been highly successful, above 90% in recent years.On the American Speech-Language and Hearing Association website: http://www.asha.org/edfind/, you will find information is provided on schools in each state that have SLP master's or AuD programs. Some receive as many as 400 applicants per year for 25 grad spaces.
Students should ask themselves the following two very important questions:
How will you stand out from the crowd?
What will make each school choose you as a potential graduate student?
Active participation and/or leadership in your NMU Chapter of NSSLHA, volunteer experiences, Superior Edge, Student Leader Fellowship Program, related work experiences and involvement in other student organizations can all help ensure successful application. Consult with your academic advisor to choose schools that you realistically have a chance for admission. Research the mean GPA of students who were admitted in recent years. What is the typical percentage of students who are admitted out of total applicants? Check Peterson's web site to investigate GPA ranges required by various graduate schools.
Your GPA Level
Approximate Number of Schools to Apply To
3.75 +
3-5 schools
3.5 - 3.75
6-7 schools
3.0 - 3.5
8-12 schools
2.9 and below
Programs do not accept students with GPA's
Please ensure you allow either faculty or other professionals you request letters of recommendation from a minimum of 30 days to formulate and prepare all the documents necessary to help you succeed. Proofreading is critical and you should have at least one other set of eyes review the package before submitting it. Aim for having your applications in ahead of the due date. Take your GRE early in case you need to take it a second time.
Additionally, ASHA established clear certification standards that each student will want to track in order to document how their undergraduate experiences at NMU will carry over to most graduate programs.
Message from Alumni:
Credit for the following wonderful information is due to our SLHS 2008 Outstanding Graduating Senior - Ms. Gayla Rovelsky. Much of the below information was authored and organized by her.
- Do your background information on the application process for each school.
- Know their web site inside and out! If you are able, go and visit and meet with faculty members.
- Look for: deadlines, forms needed, costs, addresses, contact numbers, extra forms, etc.
- Look into the CSDCAS Program: this is one general application that is sent to several schools. It may be a little more expensive than applying individually; but, is time-saving and the new-and-upcoming thing for our field's application process.
- Make and Label a Folder for EACH SCHOOL you are applying to:
o Write on the folder—school name, log-in information to site if necessary.
o Include in folder—to-do list, contact information, copy of all forms, any notes about the application or program.

Important Note: The waiting is the hardest part. Please gather all your patience you can. Schools may notify some students sooner than others and there are waiting lists that filter throughout the process. Just because a student hasn't been accepted while others have doesn't necessarily mean that they won't eventually be accepted too. Be sure to celebrate your colleagues' successes while you wait - your turn is coming. Be aware that students may not know until August whether or not they were accepted at a given school.

Higher potency Q10 for a reasonable price. Uses olive oil (instead of soy) and contains no common allergens or GMOs.

I need 800 mg of Q10 daily to keep my heart working, any shortfall is immediately apparent I have tried many brands of Q10 to find a more affordable one than I am able to buy in UK, but all have failed to give the same performance, until I tried Healthy Options Q10. It is fully effective and heart symptoms are kept completely away. Ray Holder UK

An absolute must for anyone taking statin's such as Lipitor, Crestor or Vytorin. Marked improvement from the "brain fog" effect statins can cause. I highly recommend it.
Good absorption
6 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer2355519 on Sep 11, 2008
I had been taking 3 of these a day, thinking that maybe they weren't absorbed so well, as there are other products that tout increased absorption. On my last blood test however, I found that there was an overabundance of CoQ10 in my body, so I've cut down to 2 a day, and am thinking of cutting down to one a day. Bottom line is that these are well absorbed.
Great Product at a great price

Q10 is not just for wrinkles.... I have paddled a kayak for 5 hours, gone home taken some Q10 and felt great the next day. I have permanent fractures in my lower spines as well as being 9 whiplashes an a few concussions. lots of scar tissue in neck.

When Sony introduced its new handheld, the company presented it as a step into the future. By abandoning the UMD cartridge and relying solely on the digital distribution of the PlayStation Network, the PSP Go was made even more of a handheld platform by trimming some weight and emphasizing mobility. There were some downsides to this, of course, but this was Sony's final conclusion and it must have been a well-thought one, since it went along with it.
Still, a lot of fans complained about the lack of UMD compatibility, as the major thing that the PSP Go buyers lost was access to their previously purchased games. All the titles collected by fans along the years were rendered useless for the Go, and everything had to be repurchased. But rumors have it that the UMD cartridge may be back for the PSP Go. Apparently, an anonymous source told CVG that Logitech might be working on a UMD drive add-on for the console.
When asked about the possibility, Logitech UK stated that it had no knowledge of such a project, but added that it could be something that the US branch was working on. Of course, when Logitech US will be approached with the question, it'll probably say that it's something it is unaware of as well. The anonymous tipster concluded that, "The only problem is that it'll make the PSP a little bulky." This wouldn't be even close to the only problem, as going back to the old design will most likely frustrate as many PSP Go buyers as those it will please.
The reintroduction of the UMD possibility for Sony's latest handheld would reintroduce all the UMD games back into the console's library and it would make it the best of both worlds, but the price would be most likely very steep. PSP Go buyers have already paid the full price for the console, and a hefty one at that, and now they'd have to once again dig deep in their pockets to pay for a feature that is available in the older, cheaper model.

For Catherine Cortez Masto, Attorney General of the state of Nevada and 1990 Gonzaga Law graduate, pursuing justice is more than just an ideal; it is a day-to-day goal. With a passion for public service from a young age and a lifelong dedication to helping fight for the voiceless, Masto took office in 2007.
Tell us about yourself
I am a proud native Nevadan. I grew up with strong family values and learned to appreciate the benefits of civic involvement from my parents. I earned a Bachelor of Science Degree from University of Nevada, Reno in 1986 with a major in Finance. I then went on to law school at Gonzaga. I graduated Cum Laude in 1990. I am happily married to my husband Paul. I enjoy being outdoors, hiking, jogging and spending time with my loved ones.
What do you enjoy most about your profession?
I get to represent the great State of Nevada. I have a wonderful team of colleagues comprised of attorneys, investigators, and legal secretaries (to name a few) in my office who are just as passionate about law and justice as I am. We also partner with community organizations to advocate for change in policy to protect at-risk populations such as seniors, children, and women.
What is the most challenging aspect of your profession?
One of the most challenging aspects of being Nevada's Attorney General is stopping the revolving door of fraud scammers who like to prey on vulnerable victims. The housing crisis devastated my state. My heart goes out to those people who lost their homes and/or were subjected to foreclosure scams. My office has worked tirelessly to prosecute those responsible for these crimes and hold them accountable for their actions.
Why did you choose to attend law school?
At a young age I discovered the ability to make a difference in the community by seeing my father, a Clark County Commissioner, take action. He instilled in me a passion for public service. I also learned that I needed to be better prepared to advocate for underrepresented or vulnerable populations and defend them from criminals. It was heartbreaking to see my grandparents become targets of fraud. Elder protection became my first priority as Attorney General, and I worked with legislative partners to strengthen laws against elder abuse in Nevada.
How has your Gonzaga education influenced your career?
A Gonzaga education provided me with the tools necessary to fight for the voiceless. My education has enabled me to build bridges in the community and bring awareness to the issues facing Nevada.
What else are you passionate about?
I am particularly passionate about combatting human trafficking. In the 77th session of the Nevada Legislature, I worked diligently with many community partners to pass Assembly Bill 67, which took effect on July 1, 2013. This law defined sex trafficking as a crime and for the first time we were able to prosecute sex traffickers for their egregious actions. Furthermore, the law equips law enforcement with needed tools to prosecute perpetrators and creates harsher penalties for them. My office is participating in a statewide awareness campaign to educate the community about human trafficking and how to prevent children and adults from becoming victims of sex trafficking.

text: Fatherhood: What to expect with a C-Section Steve March 14, 2013 Fatherhood Ok men, sorry I have been awol but it just so happens that I had a kid a few weeks ago. Not just any kid, but a beautiful little girl (she takes after her mother, THANK GOD). A little about us so you can relate or not. I am a 35-year-old small business owner with a part time job as well. My wife is an educator and we are middle class. This might seem like random information but I know everyone reading this is coming from different backgrounds and we are all going to do this parenting according to our beliefs, finances, and locations among other things. So what I am trying to say is my wife and I both have jobs and we are not living paycheck to paycheck but we are also not rolling in the dough by any means. This all being said, I am here to tell you what to expect the first 6 weeks of Fatherhood. There are many blogs and books and pamphlets and who knows what else for the ladies out there, but the guys are left high and dry and frankly since most of us would rather talk about sports or cars or beer than babies, we have a lack of resources written by a fellow pop. So ladies, if you think this is biased info or slanted towards men or insensitive to your needs you are probably right, but this is how men think and act and it's not called momvices or checkoutmylactationschedule.com. Let's start with the hospital. The hospital is a massive mix of emotions from amazing – to what now – to holy shit – to leave me the hell alone nurse, I'm trying to fucking sleep! My wife had a scheduled c-section which was a trip. I can tell you from experience that this is no less scary than labor. There's something about knowing when a surgery is going to happen and then trying to keep your head down at work all day knowing that at 6pm you will not be at home drinking whiskey and yelling at Jeopardy, you will be nervously holding a newborn baby wondering "Am I at all prepared for this?" So we went to the hospital 2 hours before the surgery was about to start, and it was me, my wife, and my mother-in-law. Now, I don't know about y'all but my mother-in-law is cool. I like her, she likes me, and we have been through some crazy situations in the past, so we are veterans at this. Before your lady has a C-section they have to hook her up to all kinds of monitors and stuff, basically to give your mind enough time to map out every worse case scenario and what your reaction will be. I decided that if my wife and baby died in the operating room that I would calmly walk out in the hallway and get in my car and drive as fast as possible into a tree with my seatbelt off. Hopefully I would die and not become a vegetable. Then I daydreamed of more of a standoff situation where I grabbed a scalpel and just kept cutting my arteries and as the docs tried to help me I waved the scalpel at them like I have seen on E.R. except they couldn't take me down and save me. No, I'm not suicidal, but at that moment the thought of losing my two most important people in my life at the same time was too much to bear. Anyways, so after hours of worst case scenarios with a happy/brave face to keep my M.I.L. and wife calm, it was time to suit up. For a C-section the man gets the full painters outfit. Blue booties to protect the Jordans, giant white suit that zips over your clothing, a mask that itches the fuck out of your nose, and a hair bonnet to round out the douchery. Then you take one of the longest walks of your life, wife on gurney, your iPhone secretly filming the process. Now you are in an O.R. An operating room looks way less high tech than on t.v. In fact it looked way more like one of those Alien Autopsy rooms than any world where computers and cell phones exist. My favorite (not) part was the massive mirror that gave everyone within a 10′ radius a large view of my wife's vagina. Thanks guys, but this is one time I don't want to see that – and you better have a reason to look doc, because my wife is smoking hot and I know you are gonna fap to this later. Anyways, in the O.R. you watch your wife receive her epidural, and now it hits you that there's a possibility of your wife dying but your baby living and it's one long sad movie playing in your head. You see yourself not knowing how to braid your daughter's hair right so she gets made fun of at school. You see yourself staying up all night watching old videos of your wife while you are crying and changing your new baby's diaper who looks just like your wife. Then your wife asks you what you are thinking about and you blurt out something about the vagina magnifier mirror and you have a good laugh. Now it's time for the big event. Luckily our anesthesiologist was the fucking man because my wife and I were both very nervous. I was staring at my lady and she was staring back and luckily that guy just kept asking us endless questions. Where are you from? How do you like the city? Do you have a name picked out? I actually can't remember any questions he asked us but I was so thankful he passed the time because a standard C-section takes about 40 minutes. The first 20 minutes are you and your wife behind a curtain waiting while they tug at her insides. Then, hopefully, you hear cries and it is a fucking sigh of relief! I know when I heard our baby I jumped up and was like "is she ok?" and they were like yep, she's got a full head of hair and I was like THANK GOD! (not for the hair, just that she was ok) So they whisked the baby off to a cleanup room and you know damn well I followed because I don't trust anyone with our kid. I knew our kid was gonna be dope, and mad jealous sluts would want to steal her, so I eagle-eyed everyone. Our baby was crying up a storm and I was crying and my wife was crying and I felt awful for my wife because she didn't even get to see the baby yet, let alone hold her and I felt bad that she had carried this thing for 9 months and I was gonna be the first to hold her but hey, she was in surgery still. So they cleaned off my daughter, weighed her, gave her some shots (that was brutal because it's just this innocent baby already getting all this shit poked into her and then they put this goo in her eyes so she won't go blind) and I'm just like give me that baby! So they did, and that was the first time in my life I have ever held a small baby and guess what expecting Dads with the crazy nerves about holding your baby – it actually comes naturally! I couldn't believe it myself but you know how to protect a football and how to catch a beer and somewhere deep inside your DNA you also know how to hold a baby. So I got to carry our baby into the O.R. and hold her as close to my wife as possible so she could try to see her and it was beautiful. For the next 20 minutes they sewed up my wife in the giant vagina mirror ( I didn't watch any of it – don't want to ruin cunnilingus for the rest of our lives) and we just held our baby who let out the cutest fucking cry you will ever hear. (That cute cry doesn't last long so cherish it!) Then they rolled my wife out with our new baby and we got to share her with my M.I.L. So that men, is what to expect with a C-Section. If I forgot anything I would appreciate your input. I hope to create a resource for us that tells it like it is, the good and the bad. And trust me, if this baby was planned, it's good. And if your baby wasn't planned, make it good. As someone who has travelled the world, built and sold multiple businesses, been rich and poor, been with many beautiful women, and lived a fast paced, popular life – nothing is as important or will be as rewarding as giving a new human being the same opportunities and then some. I wish all of you the best of luck. Related Reading: Leave a Reply Cancel Reply Your email address will not be published. Name* Email* Website Comment

The other 364 days
April 29 2013 | Activism, Communications, Culture Shifting,
Remember Earth Day? It was a week ago...
Something about Earth Day has never seemed right to me.
One day per year we hear harmonies of people singing... "okay everyone, let's go green!"
The all-things-green chorus on Earth Day sometimes feels as connected to meaningful environmental change as the all-things-green chorus does on St. Patricks Day. St. Paddys Day singing tends to be more about the green beer than an authentic connection to Irish culture.
Earth Day celebrations can feel cliche, ephemeral... perhaps even damaging to the idea behind the distinction... we've all seen cheesy Earth Day imagry like that to the left.
I get it, Earth Day is an onramp for people to become involved with environmental causes. I'm also aware that its good to call attention to environmental issues whenever we can... and yet I'm still surprised when this single day hits me slightly off center.
Earth Day is a single day in late April, what about the other 364 days?
Is a single day focused on the environment truly reflective of our commitment?
I find myself thinking about the larger idea behind Earth Day. In 1970 20 million people came together to push for environmenal reform. In some ways we've made a large difference since that first Earth Day and yet there is so much more work to be done.
When we (seriously) contemplate what's at risk, our collective commitment increases. We become more focused, more vigilant, more driven to make a meaningful, sustainable difference.
We need to look past the rainbows and past childrens' hands holding a globe... we need to look at the current state of the planet. Our planet. The planet which supports all human life. I know, I'm getting too heavy... you may think I need to lighten up the message... and that is my point.
When we dilute our messaging we dilute the larger idea behind conservation.
Painting our faces green accomplishes... almost nothing in terms of meaningful change.
Earth Day came and went, big whoop.
Can we now focus on the larger issues facing this place we all call home?
Here is a great place to start, find a chapter near you and engage. Protect what you love.

Project Description
The New App for Making It In America is a US Department of Labor Workforce Innovation Fund Grant project that aims to support innovative domestic manufacturing.
The New App for Making It In America is finding ways to overcome current domestic manufacturing challenges that send startups and innovative manufacturing overseas. By meeting the needs of the manufacturing and making communities we aim to remove obstacles and accelerate opportunities for new business ventures, new collaborations, and the adoption of new technologies here in the U.S.
We have identified and created systems to address the many challenges facing domestic manufacturers today, including: workforce needs, supply chain, capital, professional services and more.
The MAKERSHiP Project Next-Gen Apprenticeship for Digital Making
The MAKERSHiP Project is designed to retrain people in Western Pennsylvania who have recently lost a job for careers in digital making and manufacturing. Participants can develop a portfolio of work and access job placements with advanced manufacturers and start-up companies.
With consortium members like the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO, Carnegie Mellon University and TechShop, we have a wide range of industry talent and training experience to draw from. The Three Rivers Workforce Investment Board and Keystone Development Partnership provide valuable workforce expertise.
The Maker Registry
The New App for Making It In America is building an online platform for makers and manufacturers that gives a voice and a home to anyone who wants to make things. Makers will register for teaming, collaboration, employment opportunities, and online community interaction.
Too often great ideas cannot get off the ground because industry knowledge is buried and the tools of business are inaccessible. By bringing together all the players in making, from the entrepreneur/engineer, the mature manufacturer, the union member, the hobbyist, and the artisan we can capture a vast body of knowledge and experience.
New App for Making It In America – Events
The New App for Making It In America also holds events to support the startup and manufacturing communities.
Startup Bootcamps are intensive learning and networking events that connect entrepreneurs to resources. Windows on Innovation is held by Carnegie Mellon University and connects union leaders with university faculty to discuss future technology and the possible implications of new technology for industry.
New App for Making It In America – Links
U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis announced the award of a $3 million grant for "Making It In America" at CMU on June 14, 2012. "Making it in America is about bringing inventors, scientist and manufacturers to gather to make it here," said Rick Bloomingdale, president of the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO. "We need to re-connect inventors with the workforce."
The White House announcement for their first Maker Faire promoted the New App for Making It In America and the MAKERSHiP Project, " with funding from the Department of Labor, The PA AFL-CIO and Carnegie Mellon University are partnering with TechShop Pittsburgh to create an apprenticeship program for 21st-century manufacturing and encourage startups to manufacture domestically.
Remarks at the Workforce Innovation Fund Press Conference praised our Startup Bootcamp and Windows On Innovation events. "The labor leaders came to this campus and received a wide-ranging briefing on future technology that's coming down the pipeline. This way, they can anticipate future training needs and stay a step ahead of the curve in designing training programs."
We are working with MAYA Design to build a platform that will become the online home for makers and manufacturers.

Comments about Breedlove Passport C200/SMP Acoustic Guitar:
I've been playing over 50 years after a major hart attack I couldn't hold any of my larger guitars I tried allot of parlor guitars but all had the boxy sound of most smaller guitars. I ran across this guitar just looking around on my PC and knowing Breedlove made great guitars and for the low price I said why not try It, This guitar although not full size is full of sound easy to play and lightweight looks to be well made and great for finger picking, I would recommend this guitar to anyone beginner or Pro.
Best Uses
Comments about Breedlove Passport C200/SMP Acoustic Guitar:
This is my first beyond beginner guitar. I shopped around and played about 20 different guitars.
I will have to say I was ready to give up and save up a little more for an entry level Martin or Taylor.. This guitar rivals both in sound and quality. If you are looking for something in the 300 to 500 range you are crazy if you don't take a look at this guitar.
A few of my friends have tried it out and they have already started saving up for one. My one beef is I wish it had a pick guard, I will probably be adding one in the near future.
Buy it, you will be pleasantly surprised!! Woo!
Comments about Breedlove Passport C200/SMP Acoustic Guitar:
The Breedlove C200/SMP is a nice little rig and a very good value. The guitar is very light but well balanced. The spruce top is solid and had very good resonance. I especially like the bridge that allows fast stringing without using pins. Initially this guitar has a sound that is a little bright for my taste....sounds a bit like my cedar top Takamine. I think that will mellow with age and I'll probably change to warmer strings soon....although it comes with better than average strings out of the box. My only complaint so far....the action is a little high for me. I'll shave the bottom of the saddle when I change the strings to fix that. If you are on a budget but you want to feel like you are playing a little better guitar.....this is a good place to start.
Comments about Breedlove Passport C200/SMP Acoustic Guitar:
I went to a guitar shop almost every day for nearly two weeks and played everything within my budget. My budget was significantly higher than the cost of this guitar but after multiple blind playing sessions, I kept coming back to it. So I can honestly say that in my humble opinion, the Breedlove SMP/C200 outplayed guitars costing more than twice as much. Its loud, accurate, easy to play, perfect action, holds it tune....and has a great warmish tone. Superb.
Comments about Breedlove Passport C200/SMP Acoustic Guitar:
I just took delivery of my C200SMP, and I am blown away by the sound, build quality, appearance and all the things that make a guitar fun to play. This guitar has an incredible, loud, full sound. This is the first guitar that I have ever purchased without playing first, which caused me momentary angst, but no worries, the folks at Breedlove deliver again. This is my third Breedlove, and all I can say is that there is no better bang for the buck.

When the physician met the Bear
At the time, the doctor had never heard of me. But she entered my name on an internet search engine, and immediately pulled up the details of a workshop I was leading in Oregon a few weeks later. The title of this program was: "Dancing with the Bear: Reclaiming the Arts of Dream Healing."
The physician did not hesitate. She booked a plane ticket, flew down the coast, drove in a rental car out to a small center near Bend, and was soon singing an indigenous song to call in the healing power of the Bear. In the first morning of the workshop, she joined in a group journey to go down into the Cave of the Bear and receive its gifts. She came back with tears of joy in her eyes. She told us, "I now know what is required for me to be a true healer as well as a physician. When my patients come to me, they will get the best that modern medicine has to offer. At the same time, they will receive the healing power of the Bear, because that is all around me."
She later reported that she felt the Bear paws over her hands, gently guiding her in her work.
This rich and beautiful experience was only the first of our encounters. The doctor from Alaska came to subsequent Active Dreaming workshops, and in a journey for spiritual guides during a week-long adventure at the Esalen Instiute, she met a radiant being whose body seemed composed of liquid gold, who wrapped his own energy and insight, and that of his serpent companion, around her. She had received a vision of Asklepios very much in the way that the ancients perceived this sacred guide, the god of dream healing. She promised that she would carry this transpersonal energy, also, into the consulting room, and would urge her patients to bring her their dreams as well as their symptoms, and to seek both diagnosis and keys to personal healing through the visions of the night.
In this way, a doctor became more than a provider of medicine. In a sense, she became medicine, carrying the power and the insight to operate in the transpersonal and spiritual realms where keys to understanding the sources of illness and of healing are to be found.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I hope more physicians are prodded (by whoever can best reach them) to embrace their roles in all dimensions of healing.

Hello Robert, Thanks for your blog! Coincidentally, I got the following email from my son on the same day of this blog. He had a dream one week before this blog. The dream was about a metallic star hitting a bear on his third eye area. I read on internet that the six-point star is called Star of Life and is seen on emergency vehicles and medical equipment. To help us understand his dream I wonder if you could share the story of the bear picture on this blog.
The following is from my son:
Go read that blog post first, then look carefully at the image.
Now listen to a strange dream I had last week around the time I returned from Thailand.
I am out in a dry grassland wilderness; I am reminded of perhaps Utah or Western Colorado, after you've crossed the Rockies. I see a small metallic object flying through the air, and my awareness follows it through its trajectory. It's shaped like a star and is perhaps the size of a half-dollar coin. There are about 30-40 soldiers dressed as though they are from Ancient Greece marching in phalanx across the plain. Meanwhile, the metallic-star spins towards the first row and slices a little gash into the necks of the first 6 or 7 soldiers. My awareness zooms in and sees that the gash on each soldiers' neck (located around where you'd find the vocal chords) swells up and "blooms" into what look like lips. It's bizarre, but before I can think about it my awareness zooms out and I watch as the "wounded" soldiers fall to their knees, as if dying.
The metallic star has continued flying, however, and my awareness now catches up with it, leaving the soldiers behind. I see the star flying directly towards an animal off in the distance. Strangely, the star doesn't fly as it naturally would. Counter-intuitively, it flies through the air with one face forward and the other face backward (unlike a disk which flies with one face up and the other face down). As the star and my awareness approach the animal, I see it is a bear. Behind the bear are two bipedal beings in black cloaks wielding curved metallic sickles. I am wary of them.
The metallic star is flying rapidly and hits the bear on the forehead between the eyes. It presses itself deeply into the bear leaving a scar in the shape of a star where the bear's third eye would be located. The bear seems to be in pain and struggles to stay standing on all four paws. I wake up feeling disturbed.
Ok now go back and look at the picture of the bear in Robert Moss' blog entry. It has a star mark on its third eye.
Any ideas???
