Being a homemama means I'm home...A LOT. I love being here. Home is where I feel most grounded, most open to what God has for me, most creative, most peaceful and most available to serve my family. On the days when I haven't spent enough time at home, I can feel it...and so can my family.
You can tell those who spend lots of time at home. Their homes just feel different. And that doesn't mean they're all neat and tidy. Or that they're all accessorized and decorated. Just this week, I walked into a home that was cluttered at first glance, but within minutes of being inside, I could feel the love and authenticity. I grew to love her layers and stacks. Her house was layered with love!
As I share "A Day In My Life" through photographs of my home, I hope you'll remember this: your home doesn't have to look like mine. Your day doesn't have to look like mine. The key is to live each day in a way that is authentic to who you are...to the way that God made you. And He just happened to make me a HOMEMAMA with two girls who are school-age {which means I have lots of time at home alone...totally different from when they were little!}.
These are my happy places...the spots around my house where I spend the most time. I hope you'll feel AT HOME here!
It's hard to leave my peaceful bedroom
knowing the rush of a school morning awaits me.
{I'm so not a morning person!}
But my girls are amazing...
they pack their own lunches and make
their own breakfasts.
My goal is to keep them on schedule...
...and fill their hearts with encouragement for the day.
Grab the purse, the backpacks from their baskets...
and it's time to go!
When I return home, I always have a hot cup of tea...
...and sit down in one of three chairs.
The swivel chair in my bedroom when I'm in a white mood...
...the French Louis-something chair by the fire when it's chilly...
...or the oversized toile chair when I'm craving extra space.
Sometimes sitting still is hard.
Jesus Calling helps me make the most of these still moments.
{The February 7th devotional made me cry...in a good way.}
With another cup of tea in hand, I step out back
and skip up the stairs to my studio...
...which feels every bit as happy as my house.
{I love being up here.}
During the Spring months, I focus on stationery designs...
...and September through December, Christmas cards take center stage
{this is when things get a little crazy and unbalanced in my house!}.
But for now, I'm taking a little break from my work
so that I can enjoy the other aspects of my homemama life.
Like nesting around my house...
...and enjoying the freedom to just be.
{My oldest and I love birds and nests!}
I eat fast during card season,
but this time of year, I love to sit down in the kitchen
and take my time.
{A huge thanks to Elsa who has returned for five hours a week and
makes my kitchen look like this on Mondays!}
And of course a homemama always has her piles.
{No telling what's in that stack!}
By the time 3:00 arrives, I'm eager to see my girls,
who are homebodies just like me...HOMEGIRLS!
No rushing around from place to place for us.
Snack, homework and then outside play
or inside crafting and creating!
If there's one thing I wish we did more often, it's this...
...family games!
{Clue is our current favorite.}
While the girls are playing or crafting, my husband and I
enjoy a little time together, usually with a glass of wine...
...and a comfy chair in our front room,
which we like to call our "sitting room."
{Everything's washable, so I don't worry about the wine.}
Speaking of wine, this is our new favorite "cheap and cheerful."
{On sale for $8.99 at Whole Foods last week, but even
at $12 or $13, it's a great deal! Best with food vs. alone.}
After a little time to unwind, we take turns in the kitchen.
My husband is the better chef {more inspired and creative},
but whoever's in charge, one thing's always the same:
{We like it local, seasonal and organic if we can get it.}
We eat around this table at least five, often six, nights a week.
{An incredible blessing!}
My girls love candlelight!
After dinner, it's the bedtime routine, which always ends
with independent reading time, hugs, kisses and a song.
{I've been singing to my girls since they were born.}
If there's one thing I wish I did more
at this time of day, it's read aloud to my girls.
{They still love it! Maybe tonight is the night!}
And my favorite way to end the day once the girls
are asleep, the kitchen is clean and the house is quiet...
{Just add epsom salt and essential oils!}
The funny thing about our bathroom
is that we've been without mirrors for almost four months...
but that's another story for another day!
Who needs mirrors when you have a favorite photograph
from Provence to stare at every morning and evening?
And there you have it...a day in the life of a homemama!
I hope you're enjoying this day in YOUR life!
P.S. Hop over to The House of Belonging for many more
"A Day in the Life" posts. Each is different and unique!

Backstage With The Ace of Cakesby Guest Blogger in View All Posts, January 8th, 2010
As a major sugar junkie, I've been watching Ace of Cakes for years. And like with most reality shows, I feel like I got to know its stars—especially Duff Goldman, the bad-boy baker and owner of Charm City Cakes. So when my boss told me I'd be going backstage to see Duff's band play a concert at the House of Blues and write a story about him, I was excited (Yes! Maybe he'll make me a cake shaped like my face!), though a tad confused (he has a band?). I was also a little nervous, since on the show, Duff can sometimes be the serious guy who cracks the whip on his wisecracking staff. . .so what if he was too serious about the "craft" of his music to let loose and have some fun?
Well, I didn't need to worry about that. It's true that Duff's songs are moody, atmospheric, and all-instrumental (listen to one of his songs here); it's not the hyper pop music you might expect from someone who spends his entire day swimming in sugar. But hanging out with him and his bandmates was fun and upbeat. Once they finished their sound check, we piled into to a private room in the House of Blues bar, which was decorated with red velvet booths and gold Buddha statues. After ordering a round of Yuenglings, Duff kicked up his neon-yellow sneakers and the goofing around began. The guys gave each other noogies (luckily, visiting journalists were exempt) and Duff teased the youngest member of the group: "Remember when we messed with you by painting your guitar pedal hot pink?"
Download a free copy of one of the band's songs (to download as an MP3, right click on the link and select "Save Link As. . ."). Plus, enter for a chance to win a free CD of Duff's album, signed by Duff himself. See the full story about Duff's band from Food Network Magazine.

ROGUE traders were targeted by the police and Trading Standards officers during a week-long national enforcement and awareness initiative.
More than 450 officers took part in Operation Rogue Trader 2014 in Lancashire, targeting crooks who pose as bogus officials or pursue elderly and vulnerable members of the public to carry out unnecessary or overly expensive work to properties.
Almost 1,627 homes were visited last week, along with 73 repeat victims, and 29 new 'no cold calling' areas were established.
Officers also attended numerous community events and gave presentations highlighting the dangers that consenting to have work carried out by cold callers can bring.
In total 87 traders were checked while carrying out repairs to properties and a total of 16 were arrested during the operation for a variety of offences.
Chief Inspector Mike Adamson said: "Together with Trading Standards we have made a substantial contribution to safeguard some of our most vulnerable residents and to educate the community about the tactics used by rogue traders.
"The police will continue to work with partners on similar operations to target and prosecute those involved in rogue trader offences."
Trading Standards lead officer for doorstep crime, Steve Playle, said: "Operation Rogue Trader is a fantastic initiative that brings together Trading Standards officers and police officers in order to tackle the menace of criminals who cause enormous emotional distress and massive financial detriment to so many householders across the country.
"The activities of cold calling home maintenance rogues are often linked to the activities of distraction burglars and all the evidence shows that it's the elderly and vulnerable who are deliberately targeted by this crime.
"The simple message from trading standards is to always say 'no' to any traders offering to carry out work who unexpectedly turn up at your door."

"New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they are not already common."
Called "the Father of Classical Liberalism," John Locke, was born on August 29, 1632 in Warington, England. One of the most influential thinkers of th 17th century, he attended Westminister School and later Christ Church, University of Oxford, where he studied classics and medicine. When England's King James II was overthrown in 1689, Locke published "An Essay Concerning Human Understanding ," arguing against innate ideas and suggesting instead that man is born a tabula rasa, a blank slate, who learns through experience. In 1690, Locke published his most significant political work, "The Two Treaties of Government," arguing that the role of the state is to protect the natural rights of its citizens based on the notion of a social contract. If a ruler fails to fulfill his contract with his citizens, Locke argued that the citizens have the right to overthrow their leader and appoint a new one. Locke's writings have had a powerful impact on the thinkers that have come since, including Voltaire and the Founding Fathers of the United States, Jefferson, Madison, and Hamilton.

After the concert I went to last night I discussed with friends what people say when they want the performers to come back and sing another song or play another tune. In English we shout 'Encore!' or 'More!'. Encore is a French word meaning 'still, again, even', and I'd assumed that in French they shout 'Encore!' at concerts as well, however one of my friends told me that they shout 'Une autre!' (Another!).
According to Reverso, the French equivalent of the exclamation Encore! is Bis! [bis], and bisser means to do an encore or to ask for an encore.
According to Wikipedia, French speakers will shout une autre!, un rappel! (a curtain call) or bis!, or sometimes encore! when asking for an encore. The word bis comes from Latin and means twice or double, which, according to the OED, is a prefix used in Late Latin, French and Italian before s, c or a vowel in place or bi-.
What are the equivalents of encore! and an encore in other languages?

Associated Press
From satellites to binoculars, the hardware being used in the search
for the missing plane far off western Australia ranges from the
sophisticated to the simple. Some of the equipment being used to look
for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370:
The plane most utilized so far has been the Lockheed P-3 Orion, a
four-engine turboprop favored by the Australian and New Zealand defense
forces. Because the search area in the southern Indian Ocean is so
remote -- some 2,500 kilometers (1,550 miles) southwest of Perth -- it's
an eight-hour round trip, leaving the planes just two or three hours to
One advantage of this plane is that it can fly at low altitudes for
long periods. Mike Yardley, an air commodore with New Zealand's air
force, said that his team's Orion flew at just 200 feet (60 meters)
above the water Thursday to stay below thick clouds and fog -- which
requires intense concentration by the two pilots.
The Orion has a crew of 13, some of whom are stationed on an
observation deck to search. Yardley said they use their eyesight, as
well as a state-of-the-art radar system and three cameras -- one
infrared, one long-range, and one high resolution. The combination of
systems helps them detect almost anything that's on the surface, he
said. The crew also films everything so they can review what they've
seen after they return to base.
The Orion has sonar to search below sea level, although it's not being used in this search, Yardley said.
Other planes involved Friday include a U.S. Navy P-8 Poseidon, which
has been designed for anti-submarine warfare, and a civilian Bombardier
Global Express, a long-range corporate jet with state emergency service
observers on board. More planes are on the way.
The Norwegian cargo vessel Hoegh St. Petersburg arrived in the area late Thursday and used lights to search overnight.
The Filipino crew of 20 was planning to use binoculars and their
eyesight to scour the water Friday. The ship had been carrying a load of
cars from South Africa to Australia before being asked to join in the
Another commercial ship was due to arrive later Friday and three
Chinese naval ships were heading to the area. China also planned to send
an icebreaker that happened to be in Perth following a voyage to
Any plane debris that is found will be transported back by the
Australian navy ship the HMAS Success, which is due to arrive at the
search site Saturday.
The New Zealand Orion plane dropped two marker buoys Thursday, and
searchers were planning to drop more buoys from a C-130 Hercules
military transport plane.
The buoys resemble a poster tube, each about 1 meter (3.3 feet) long,
with an antenna that transmits a GPS signal that can be tracked by
The idea is that the buoys drift in a manner similar to any debris,
giving searchers clues as to where debris might move over time. The
system isn't perfect -- the wind can move the buoys at a different rate
than larger objects -- but is designed to factor in some of those
Satellite images taken by a private company and released by the
Australian government appeared to show two large objects, which prompted
searchers to investigate further.
However, the images aren't definitive. They came from a DigitalGlobe
satellite that can look left or right, but which gets lower quality
images the father to the side it looks.
The satellites aren't like the all-powerful ones in the movies that
can, say, read a license plate from space. The images appear to be
little more than smudges to the untrained eye, and need experts to
interpret them. One thing experts look for are reflections, which can
help indicate whether a smudge is an object or just water movement.
Australian authorities have redirected other commercial satellites to
the area to take higher resolution images, which may provide more

PLANS to turn a former town school into a one-stop shop of council services are progressing well.
A planning application is expected to be submitted within weeks to turn the former Parkside Middle School, Stourbridge Road, into a council hub including a new library, council offices, a district council chamber, customer service centre, community hall and a registry office.
The development is to be discussed by leading councillors at tonight's cabinet meeting, (February 6).
Councillors are to discuss an increase of £130,000 in the capital programme, which would be paid to Worcestershire County Council to acquire a 50 per cent interest in the site.
The cabinet are also set to discuss the splitting of the re-development costs, expected to be £6.9 million, equally.
Bromsgrove District Council leader Roger Hollingworth said plans for the major project, one of the key parts of the town's regeneration programme, were progressing well.
"It is now moving ahead," he said.
"This is an excellent project and we are still on track to move into the building in summer 2014."
Meanwhile, preparatory works to improve traffic flow at the nearby Parkside crossroads - the Birmingham Road, Stourbridge Road and Market Street junction - have got underway this week.
Expected to finish on Friday, the work includes the laying of pipes and infrastructure ready for the future installation of intelligent traffic lights.
The work will enable the pelican crossing at the bottom of Stratford Road, near The Strand, to be synchronised with the traffic lights at the Parkside crossroads.
Coun Hollingworth added: "This is not a glamorous piece of work but it is an important piece in the jigsaw of the regeneration of the town centre.
"While there will be a couple of days disruption to drivers, the eventual benefits from the improved flow of traffic will be worth it so please bear with us."

Eight ways to find success
As Yeung explained during a recent visit to Hong Kong, his central theme is to identify eight key capabilities that enable people to stand out from the crowd and find success as they define it. The focus is on entrepreneurs, mostly small-scale operators, who have taken matters into their own hands and achieved balance, financial security and fulfilment.
"I'm a firm believer you can be good at anything you set your mind to," Yeung says. "But it needs the right kind of hard work and to realise that people who set out to do something they love usually do better than those who just set out to be rich."
In his dealings with clients, though, he finds that often people delude themselves. There are the managers who believe they have made "no mistakes" in the past five years, and the leaders whose personal wealth may suggest they have "made it", but who seem unpopular and unhappy.
"When I run a seminar and ask who thinks they are creative, probably 90 per cent will put up their hands," Yeung says. "It is part of any business bio, but if you ask in what way, there is nothing substantive behind it. The fact is they don't go about it the right way, or they don't get the right feedback."
The book's aim is to show how small changes can lead to dramatic improvements. The eight capabilities, which range from authenticity and "centredness" to being daring and visionary, are not intended as revelations. They are common denominators backed up by academic evidence and real-life examples that make it easier to achieve success in most fields.
"This is not just a prescription for business success," Yeung says. "It also applies if, for example, you want to run a non-profit or be a better parent. My filter is that we have one life and that our legacy is not confined to the wealth we leave behind. Coming from a research background, I see the importance of writing about what actually works, not just my opinion of what works in some cases. The best compliment anyone could pay me is to say the stories spoke to them."
Five insights
- Focus your thinking on both, rather than, either/or solutions
- Identify 10 high points in your life and what makes them special
- When the stakes are high, listen as if your life depends on it
- Challenge your own negative thoughts and contradict them
- Make it a habit to review mistakes and failures, and learn from them
Positive thinking can fuel success
Title The Happiness Advantage: The Seven Principles of Positive Psychology That Fuel Success and Performance at Work
Author Shawn Achor
Publisher Crown Business
Category Personal development
Recent discoveries in positive psychology have shown that happiness fuels success. When we are positive, our brains become more creative, motivated, resilient and productive at work. In his latest title, Harvard University academic Shawn Achor draws from his work with Fortune 500 executives in 42 countries to explain how we can be more positive. He fleshes out seven actionable principles, including how to spot patterns of possibility and reap the dividends of investing in our social support network.

MULHOUSE: Simon Gerrans has rejected any suggestion his Orica-GreenEDGE team is under pressure for not having won a stage in this year's Tour de France.
The team is yet to match its success of last year's Tour – including two stage wins and four days in the yellow race leader's jersey, two each for Gerrans and South African Daryl Impey.
But Gerrans, who has twice had his attempts at a stage win affected by crashes this year – one in which he hit the deck and the other where another rider come a cropper – believes there is no need for the team to feel the window of opportunity closing.
He said the Australian World Tour team's failure to win a stage by the time stage nine from Gerardmer to Mulhouse was won and lost, was due to misfortune rather than sub-par performance.
"We've been doing everything right and we just need a little bit of luck to go our way," Gerrans said after German Tony Martin (Omega Pharma-QuickStep) soloed to win the 170-kilometre ninth stage, beating a chase group of 17 riders by 2 minutes, 45 seconds.
The stage involved a reshuffle of places that included Italian race leader Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) losing his overall lead to Frenchman Tony Gallopin (Lotto-Belisol), whose 16th place in the group that followed Martin was enough to pass Nibali.
Starting from Monday's 10th stage, Gallopin will lead the Tour – and fittingly, as it will be Bastille Day – by 1m 34s over Nibali and by 2m 40s on Portugal's Tiago Machado (NetApp) in third.
Meanwhile, Australian Richie Porte (Sky) was placed fifth overall at 3m 32s and Spain's two-time winner Alberto Contador (Tinkoff-Saxo) was in ninth at 4m 8s.
However, the top order was expected to be reshuffled again in Monday's stage from Mulhouse to La Planche des Belles Filles, also the last of three days in the Vosges.
Gerrans is recovering from his injuries sustained in his stage one crash into Harrogate in Yorkshire that also had British sprinter Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma-QuickStep) going down and failing to start stage two because of a dislocated collarbone.
"I have been getting a little bit better health-wise," said Gerrans, whose best performance since his stage one crash was on stage seven to Nancy.
He placed fifth in that stage, but amid the controversy of American Andrew Talansky's (Garmin-Sharp) crash with 200m to go in the finishing sprint after a collision with Gerrans' rear wheel.
Gerrans is hoping for a stage win later this week after Tuesday's rest day in Besancon.
"I have still got bruising coming out from over a week ago now," he said. "That is probably a little indication of how hard I hit the deck [on stage one].
"But I am still getting better a little each day. So that's all good for the days to come."
Asked what stages he saw as opportunities, Gerrans cited Wednesday's 187.5km 11th stage from Besancon to Oyonnax that includes four third and fourth categorised climbs before a descent to the finish, and Thursday's 185.5km 12th stage from Bourg-en-Bresse to Saint Etienne that has four climbs, but with more distance between each.
"They don't look overly hard," he said. "There could be some opportunities there.
"We'll keep our eyes out for those stages, and then it gets pretty hard for a few days."

Hard Truck 2
Review by SunDish214
"Ever had the urge to drive a semi? heres your chance..."
This is a rather unique game... I wasn't totally pleased with this game, but it is still fun if you are very bored! You get to drive around in a semi truck, pick up and deliver goods, race, and have a good time. you start out with a small truck outside of a building. You can pick up some goods to deliver or just drive around, you race against other players when you deliver your goods to make the game a bit more challenging. If you are first you are rewarded with a decent amount of money and a license to hire. There are usually 3-5 challengers. If you have played this game for long enough you can hire a person and give them a truck and make them work for you, or, if you have enough, you can even buy your own truck! The downsides to this game are the amount of bugs. Sometimes it crashes, or you have to play in ''Green World'' (Where the ground disappears showing a big lake of green), or the game just lags alot. If you ever break down along the road, which you will, you can call 911 and summon help. They will repair your truck and reset you to the road. Or you can stop at a repair shop if you aren't damaged too bad. If you break the law by driving really wacky, the police will chase you and shoot at your truck sometimes causing major damage, especially the police copter. Another way to tip the police is by picking up illegal goods, you can prevent this by getting a cargo scanner at the repair shop.
Graphics 6/10
The graphics aren't the best I've ever seen. There are minor things that bring the game down alot, like the sky, It isn't very detailed and tends to glitch up once in a while. The scenery is all the same. All you ever see is roads, grass, bushes, rocky plains, and a few small cities which aren't detailed to greatly either...
Sound 7/10
The sound effects in this game aren't great, but not bad. The engine roaring in your truck, and the screeching of your brakes gets pretty repetitive.
The music in the game is much better than the sound effects. There are a couple cool tunes, but you don't notice most of them. A few can get quite annoying...
Gameplay 6/10
It's a fun game to start, but driving long distances from city to city gets boring. So then you can go to the race track, or search around for that cool truck you have been saving up for...
Replay 3/10
You might replay this game once or twice and then forget about it. It is boring, but like I said, fun at the start. This game isn't one of those Zelda games which are very fun and entertaining., it's a game for people with spare time on their hands...
This game is a fun game to play, for those of you who have the patience of driving. For people who hate driving long distances, I don't recommend this to you. You also need a lot of time on your hands to play this game. MY thoughts on this game are that is is a good game in all, the creative idea, but it never went together right. Maybe if there was a little more to do in the game people would have loved it...

This soother really works good for all sorts of aches and pain. Between the soothing balm and the hand application, I can pretty much get rid of most athletic pain after a hard game.

When I saw this I bought it for my stressed out husband as a joke. Well, to my surprise, he used it on his head on day and the ache went away real fast. Then he had a sore knee and it felt much better after the first use. I don't what does it, but it seems to work great. What else do I say--it's great.

21 Jump Street Sequel Commissioned
Jonah Hill & Michael Bacall back on duty
With action comedy 21 Jump Street launching this weekend to lashings of critical praise and (according to early estimates) a healthy first place at box offices in America, it's really not that surprising that Sony would want to strike while the iron is sizzling and lock in a deal with story writer/co-star Jonah Hill and screenplay man Michael Bacall to craft a sequel.
While they've been thinking up ideas for a while now, it's not known whether Hill will stick to bashing out the treatment with Bacall then letting him take script duties this time, but given how well that arrangement worked out for the first movie, it seems only natural that they'd work it that way again.
And while no acting deals are in place yet, we figure the studio will have no trouble recruiting Channing Tatum to return as Jenko to Hill's Schmidt, who has been garnering some of the highest praise of his career for his comedy chops. We'd hope Ice Cube and possibly Nick Offerman might also return, but since not a word of the script is in place yet, it's too early to know for sure.
A bigger question is whether directing duo Phil Lord and Chris Miller might also come back, though their Jump Street success might ironically be what keeps them out of the sequel, as they're hard at work on the Lego movie and have plans for other projects. It will all depend on timing.
Bacall is in demand at the moment, since he's already developing a sequel to Project X and writing the Tropic Thunder spin-off focused on Tom Cruise's Les Grossman character.

Spectacular power show on four and two wheels. From Power Trucks and high-tech World Rally Car through to electro bikes – it's all here.
European Open: US stars face European and international champions as well as national champs from Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Norway, Italy and Austria.
The BAJA 300 POWERDAYS Germany (24 – 26 July) is turning into a world summit of offoad racing: No sooner had the American and European drift aces entered, when the top star from the Middle East also confirmed his participation. Dakar virtuoso and current points' leader in the Production Car World Rally Championship, Nasser Al-Attiyah, travels to Germany to contest the most spectacular offroad event of the year. Reason enough for Germany's largest private TV station, RTL, to broadcast the BAJA 300 POWERDAYS Germany as part of the Hungarian Grand Prix coverage on Sunday, 26th July, from 12.30 pm.
Adding to the impressive entry list, alongside the multiple Middle East, Marathon World Cup Champion and Production Car World Rally Champion 2006, Nasser Al-Attiyah, is also the reigning world champion of the production-based class, Andreas Aigner from Austria. Aigner promptly snatched position three at his first ever Baja event on the first weekend in June at the wheel of a 640 hp "Unlimited" Buggy in the SCORE Series, and showed his colleagues from the US what awaits them at the European event.
Great news as well for fans from Poland and the Czech Republic at the BAJA 300 POWERDAYS Germany: Multiple Polish champion Leszek Kuzaj joins forces with "Team Europe" in a special Porsche Cayenne Transsyberia. From the Czech Republic comes rally ace Roman Kresta bringing the very latest Peugeot 207 Super 2000 to compete on the purpose-built 2.3 kilometre gravel circuit.
Six weeks before the green light to Europe's unique offroad event, everything is set: The stars of rallying, including ex-world champion Petter Solberg, US champion and action star Ken Block, darling of the fans Gigi Galli as well as former European champion Armin Schwarz – as initiator of the Powerdays – come face to face at the BAJA 300 POWERDAYS Germany for the first time with the absolute pinnacle of US desert racing. Sal Fish, CEO/president of the SCORE International Offroad Series brings along his stars like Jesse James, B.J. Baldwin, Danny Sullivan, Gus Vildosola and Martin Christensen to Good Old Europe.
A star-studded line-up in the motorbike faction as well: Aside from the KTM works team with double Dakar winner Cyril Despres, motocross freestyler Petr Pilat as well as local hero and multiple German Champion in the World Enduro Championship, Markus Kehr, the factory squad from BMW Enduro and Husqvarna send their top pilots. Enduro champion Anders Eriksson from Sweden and his Danish teammate Andreas Lettenbichler both start with a works-run BMW G 450 X. Husqvarna Motorcycles sends the Italian Andrea Cervellin with his Husqvarna TC 250, as well as the French compatriot of Dakar ace Cyril Despres, Christophe Martin with a Husqvarna TC 450 to tackle the wild single trails in the Lausitz
When it comes to spectacular vehicles and bikes, the BAJA 300 POWERDAYS Germany offers yet another unparalleled show: From 850 hp Trophy Trucks and their 640 hp Buggy brothers from the US SCORE Series, to the torquey high-tech World Rally Cars and the lightweight Super 2000 Rally rockets through to motocross, freestyle and enduro bikes – everything that moves at race tempo is coming…
… and into the future as well: Joining the action is the electro dirtbike "Quantya Track", giving a fascinating look into the future. The almost soundless, battery-powered, torquey, power-pack is certain to stun fans and insiders with its stunts at the BAJA 300 POWERDAYS Germany.
Tickets are available for 18 Euro (plus presale fees) on www.eventim.de as well as at Eventim advance sales box offices. Further information on ticketing and the BAJA 300 POWERDAYS Germany can be found on www.baja300-powerdays.com.

Caipang, C. M. A. and Pakingking Jr., R. V. and Apines-Amar, M. J. S. and Huyop, Fahrul Zaman (2011) Development of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay targeted to the dnaJ gene of vibrio harveyi, a bacterial pathogen in Asian seabass, lates calcarifer. AACL Bioflux, 4 (4). pp. 447-454. ISSN 1844-8143
Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://www.bioflux.com.ro/docs/2011.4.447-454.pdf
Partial sequence of the dnaJ gene of Vibrio harveyi, which was isolated from diseased juvenileAsian seabass, Lates calcarifer was identified. The partial sequence of dnaJ gene of V. harveyi was 447 bp and shared at least 77% identity at the nucleotide level with the dnaJ gene of other Vibrios. It was distinct from the dnaJ gene of other Vibrios but was closely related with the dnaJ gene of V. rotiferianus and V. campbellii having at least 90% nucleotide identity. PCR primers targeting this gene were designed to detect the pathogen in Asian seabass. The assay was specific to V. harveyi and the limit of detection was 100 pg of genomic DNA ml-1 or 100 fg of bacterial genomic DNA in a PCR reaction. Thiscorresponded to a sensitivity of approximately 20 genome equivalents (GE) of V. harveyi. These resultsindicate that the dnaJ gene is a good candidate to develop primers for the PCR assay in detecting V.harveyi in fish.

Neil Learns to Handle a Joke
Neil Nitin Mukesh made a mark for himself in Bollywood with an unusual role. That was in his debut film Johnny Gaddaar. Neil, who has won various accolades and awards for his performance in the course of his short career, has endeared himself to many
However, the actor shocked everyone when he asked the 'Bollywood Baadshah' Shah Rukh Khan to shut up at the Filmfare Awards. The incident is still fresh in memory of the audiences. Neil had completely lost his cool at SRK who was hosting the show. Even though he later apologised, his father Nitin Mukesh didn't forgive him for giving in so easily to his rage.

You might have heard that the government is mulling an increase in the gas tax. The U.S. Highway Trust Fund is nearly broke, it relies primarily on a federal gas tax for revenue.
Prices have gone up, as a result of inflation, and gas prices have gone up even faster… but the federal gas excise tax has been stuck at 18.4 cents ever since 1994.
Regardless of what the government does to the gas tax, we can all agree that it seems like gas prices don't ever seem to go down!
So if your budget is feeling pinched because of how much you're spending on fuel, here are four tips on how to save on gas.
Consider Alternate Transportation
Is it possible for you to bike to work? Biking to work can be a fantastic way to get exercise and save money on gas, since you'll be relying on your own personal fuel to get you to work or school.
If you don't own a bicycle, there will be some up front costs involved as you purchase a bike and a helmet. You'll also have to adjust your schedule a bit, since biking will take longer than driving, but it is ultimately healthier for you and your wallet.
If biking is not possible, what about, mass transit like a train or bus? You may be able to even reap the benefits of the Commuter Transit Tax Benefit if your employer offers this type of transportation benefit.
If you're like most, driving to and from work or school accounts for most of your gasoline usage. Carpooling can be an effective way in reducing the amount of fuel you use.
I know driving yourself has so many benefits – you have control over when you go into work and when you leave, you can run errands during the day when you have access to a vehicle, you can respond to emergencies, and it's just nice to be able to come and go as you please without having to coordinate with someone else.
But carpooling saves you so much money… so how can you reconcile the differences? Try carpooling with a friend just once a week. This week, you drive. Next week, your friend drives. Out of ten days, you cut your fuel usage by one day.
As you get more comfortable, you can start adding days. Ease into it and you'll soon see that it's not nearly as bad as you think it is!
Telecommuting is becoming an increasingly popular option for folks who want to get work done but don't want to sit in traffic. Talk to your supervisor to see if your work could be done at home.
Ease into it to see if you can be effective by telecommuting – try for one day a week. You may find that you are far more effective at home, without the distractions. You may also find that you are not effective at all!
In the end, you don't want to jeopardize your work, so be mindful of your effectiveness. If it works out, this can be a great way to save on gas.
If You Must Drive Your Car…
If you must drive a car, here are a few quick ways you can conserve fuel.
First, drive slower. The speed limit might feel absurdly slow but the slower you drive, the less fuel you use. As you increase speed, you increase drag, which means your car has to burn more fuel to maintain its speed.
Since you aren't driving cross country, going 10 MPH slower is probably going to mean getting where you're going just a few minutes later.
Clean out your car. Some fuel conservation extremists go as far as removing their spare tire, which I think is a terrible idea. But are you lugging around boxes of junk you don't need? Extra weight means you're burning fuel moving junk around.
Cruise if you can. Cruise control is your friend on any car rides, especially longer ones, because the car is better at managing speed than you are.
Instead of speeding up and braking, cruise control helps you maintain a level speed.
Lastly, check your tire pressure. You want it exactly as the manufacturer demands because that's how you get the most efficient fuel economy out of your car and it keeps your tires lasting as long as possible.
Here's to hoping they don't increase the gas tax!

Gowland Doubles Up At Snetterton
Posted by: newsla on Jun 16, 2014 - 06:57 AM
Gowland Doubles Up At Snetterton
The Smiths Triumph Racing Team had another weekend to remember at the third round of the 2014 Motorpoint British Supersport Championship at Snetterton with 28-year-old Graeme Gowland taking a resounding double victory in the two races and Aussie team-mate Billy McConnell also on the podium with a second and a third place.
The weekend got underway with Saturday's 10-lap Sprint race and 27-year-old McConnell, who had claimed pole position in qualifying, grabbed the lead on the second lap, opening up a small lead by mid-race distance. However, Gowland and main championship rival Alastair Seeley closed the deficit in the second half of the race and going into the final lap there was nothing between the trio. Positions changed hands frequently but it was Northumberland rider Gowland who took the win aboard the factory-supported Triumph Daytona 675R with Seeley relegating Adelaide's McConnell to third on the run in to the line.
Today's 15-lap Feature race was a lot simpler affair for Gowland, from Allendale, as he grabbed the lead the moment the lights turned green and he never looked back. With a lead of over a second at the end of the first lap, he continually stretched it on each lap and once it reached four seconds, he was able to ease off in the closing stages and complete a superb double which was the first of his career.
McConnell had to work a lot harder for his second place, battling throughout with a number of other riders but he eventually secured the runner-up spot to give the team their first one-two of the season. With Seeley crashing out on the warm-up lap, the results also mean that McConnell maintains his championship lead with Gowland now having moved up to second.
It was Triumph's first Supersport win at Snetterton and also means that four Motorpoint British Supersport Championship race wins have been secured with Gowland's Snetterton double following McConnell's similar feat at Oulton Park the previous round. Add to that their inaugural TT win with Gary Johnson earlier this month and it's been a brilliant couple of months for the Gloucester-based team.
Graeme Gowland: "Race wins have been a long time coming and it was 2010 when I last won a Supersport race so it's brilliant to be back on the top step again, even more so taking the double. Both races were hard for different reasons, Saturday's for the hot pace we were setting and Sunday's for the amount of concentration it required. It was hard work getting by Billy on Saturday, as both he and Alastair are flying at the moment, but I just kept chipping away and got the job done. Sunday's race was perfect though, getting the lead at the start and then steadily increasing my lead. It's not easy leading on your own for that length of time so I just focused on hitting all my braking markers and apexes. I'm over the moon with the double and the Smiths Triumph Team has put a lot of trust in me this year, right from the beginning of the year when they took us to Australia, so it's brilliant to repay them."
Billy McConnell: "Graeme's been on fire this weekend but I'm pleased for him and need to ask him what he had for his breakfast so I can have the same next time out! That's four wins on the bounce now for the team and shows what a fantastic package the Smiths Triumph is. The team have worked incredibly hard to put us in this position and although I'd have loved to have taken another win, I got the next best thing. I could have pushed a bit more in Saturday's race but I'd rather have a podium than go down although I made a couple of mistakes in the final two laps and that allowed the two boys to get right on my back wheel. I'm happy with the results though and full credit to the guys."
Rebecca Smith: "I'm quite lost for words at the moment! It's been fantastic for Graeme to take his first win of the season and to go on to the double is simply superb. He's injury free, feels really comfortable with the bike and Snetterton is one of his favourite circuits and he was faultless all weekend. We knew both he and Billy would be on the pace this weekend but it's been a long time since they've raced as we've obviously been contesting the North West 200 and TT so full credit to them for being in the groove straightaway. The whole team's worked really hard all weekend and it's nice to be talking about race wins at the moment. Everything's falling into place for us at present and we're on a bit of a winning streak so long may it continue!"

Scott Stapp of Creed Releases Second Solo Album
Subscribe to 106.3 The Buzz on
You may already know that the most of the guys in Creed are also part of Alter Bridge, everybody that is except Creed lead singer Scott Stapp. So while everyone else is enjoying success at the moment it makes you wonder what has Stapp been up to? Well to answer your question, he has just released his second solo album Proof Of Life, which is in stores now. Plus you can check out the first single "Slow Suicide" right here.
The new album comes eight years after his first solo project. Stapp said he got a little sidetracked while working on it, saying, "You know, I thought I was working on the second solo album starting in 2006, but really my life began to be filled with so much chaos that nothing really survived. And then, you know, Creed got back together in 2009. And so there were some themes that were beginning to be born as far back as 2006 and '07, but I don't think I could honestly talk about 'em and could honestly create songs about 'em, because I didn't have the perspective that I have now."
With Creed currently on hiatus due to Alter Bridge touring behind their latest album Fortress, Stapp plans on setting off on tour next March and is planning on doing promotions via T.V. and radio this fall.

One fall evening in 1996, Barry Stieglitz and his 5-year-old son Nikolai were walking along an abandoned road in Florida´s National Key Deer Refuge when they spotted a tiny fawn. The diminutive Key deer are about 3 feet tall as adults, and a fawn is scarcely larger than a hare. Only about 400 of the animals remain.
All are confined to an 8,000-acre refuge bisected by busy Highway 1. Motorists hit and kill more than 60 of the deer every year, and as manager of the refuge, Stieglitz spends much of his time tracking fatalities. The evening with Nikolai was a rare opportunity to breathe in the beauty of the place and admire the miniature, cloven-hoofed wonders under his charge.
"As we walked along the old road, we heard the clicking of hooves on exposed caprock," Stieglitz recalls. "We watched in amazement as a fawn paused just ahead of us in the red sunset. Nikolai was spellbound, and so was I. Then the fawn vanished."
In its place came a fear. "Will the time come when an epidemic, forest fire or terrible hurricane wipes out the Key deer? The kind of experience Nikolai and I shared, rare enough nowadays, could easily perish forever. That tiny fawn stood for all the small miracles my generation has taken for granted--and all my son´s stands to lose."
To witness the survivors of vanishing species--to swim with Florida´s endangered manatees in a crystal lagoon as they graze on lush sea grass, or to hear the unison calls of whooping cranes in a Texas dawn--is to plot a tenuous point on the map of human experience. It is also to struggle with emotions for which there are few precedents. As conservationist Aldo Leopold wrote in A Sand County Almanac in 1949, "For one species to mourn the death of another is a new thing under the sun."
Each extinction is a unique voice silenced in a universal conversation of which we ourselves are only one participant. When the tiny wings of the last Xerces blue butterfly ceased to flutter, our world grew quieter by a whisper and duller by a hue. Our world grew dumber still when the last raspy call of the dusky seaside sparrow rose and fell within the straw-and-emerald marshes of Florida´s east coast. Should the Key deer disappear, Stieglitz knows that the percussive tap of their small hooves on rock will drop from the universal symphony.
What is the psychological and emotional toll of this growing silence? Have we even begun to grasp the price extinction will extract from future human emotion, spirit and creativity? Natural extinctions are a part of the weaving and fraying of life, but human activities have drastically accelerated the rate. Of our own choice, the community of life becomes less intelligent--in the broadest sense of the word. Of what import is the legendary torching of priceless maps and manuscripts at the fifth-century library at Alexandria, Egypt, compared to the tens of millions of years of accumulated intelligence wiped out with the loss of each species?
We have compiled the biological accounting of our spendthrift ways in lists of endangered and extinct species. What about our moral or spiritual accounting? Where is our mourning and remorse? Where is our reckoning--to ourselves and to our great-great-grandchildren--about the tens of thousands of species we have destroyed?
In our various responses to the demise of other species--scientific studies, activism, museum exhibits--rarely do we consider these deeper questions. Rarely, in turning our attention from a recently extinct species to our last-ditch effort to save another, do we pause to say goodbye. We may remember--but without true remembrance.
In lamenting the epidemic that struck the lovely wild dogwood trees that until recently laced the American countryside, hospital chaplain Phyllis Windle remarks in her essay "The Ecology of Grief," "Our external as well as our internal worlds may make environmental losses difficult to mourn. We have almost no social support for expressing this grief." She adds, "Even if I decided to grieve, how would I go about doing it?"
We do know that mourning begins with remembrance. On June 1, 1997, the Wisconsin Society for Ornithology commemorated the 50th anniversary of a monument to the last Wisconsin passenger pigeon. Inspired by the monument, Aldo Leopold once wrote of need for memory: "Men still live who, in their youth, remember pigeons. Trees still live who, in their youth, were shaken by a living wind. But a decade hence only the oldest oaks will remember, and at long last only the hills will know."
Imagine the residents of Brevard County, Florida, holding vigil on the marsh´s edge each June 15, the anniversary of the last dusky seaside sparrow´s passing in 1987. Or the citizens of San Francisco gathering each spring beneath the silvery- leaved eucalyptus at the Presidio to mourn the loss of the Xerces blue butterfly. Such remembrance of lost species could become a powerful force in our lives.
One spring day in 1987, Jerome Jackson, a professor of ornithology at Mississippi State University, stared into the shadows of oaks and gum trees along the Mississippi River in a remote, southern part of the state. Jackson´s soft voice rose above the song of spring warblers as he told a graduate student with whom he had often searched the southern woodlands, "This is the best habitat we´ve seen."
The ivory-billed woodpecker had not been seen in North America since the late 1940s, when the wooded home of the last known individuals along the Tensas River in Louisiana was cleared for soybean fields and stripped of its largest trees for timber. When the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service declared the bird officially extinct in 1986, Jackson--a member of the advisory committee and an authority on woodpeckers--said the decision was premature.
A year later, there he stood in the hardwood grove. Jackson turned on a portable tape recorder, and through the amplified speaker rose the calls of an ivory-billed woodpecker recorded years before, when the whitish-billed, red-crested, crow-sized bird still lived deep in the wetlands and neighboring pine uplands. Jackson had tried this tactic before, and always the recording had fallen on deaf woods. Silence this time, too, at first. Then came the reply, ricocheting through the forest: the haunting sound of an ivorybill--a tinny toot, single and double notes intertwined, like a child´s toy horn.
"It was magic, a moment I´ll never forget and probably never repeat," Jackson recalls. "But it also had a note of sadness for me. Would we be the last on Earth to hear an ivorybill?" Further searching has turned up nothing, and Jackson has been left to make meaning of the moment mostly alone--both its joy and sadness. His colleagues are skeptical. Some ridicule his claim. Scientifically speaking, without a photograph or a recording of the event, it might as well never have happened. Even Jackson has begun to doubt what he heard.
Two years ago, my wife Noelle and I stood in the misty forests of the Hawaiian volcano Mauna Loa. There we witnessed, among the moss-laden boughs of ancient o´hia trees, 10 of the last 14 birds known as ´Alala still living in the wild. They hopped and glided from branch to branch, emitting intelligent squawks and picking off bark in search of insects. One pair, 10 feet above us in sunlit radiance, preened each other.
Thousands of ´Alala probably once lived in the vicinity of Mauna Loa. Now the birds are besieged by diseases, predators and habitat loss. No chick has survived in the wild since 1992. Dozens of papers and articles have been written about the ´Alala. While many refer to the decline as a biological event, scarcely any consider the looming extinction as a cultural, personal or emotional tragedy for anyone, or for Native Hawaiians in particular, who knew the ´Alala.
Once I interviewed a biologist who had built his career on the study of a group of snails, known as partula, on the island of Moorea in French Polynesia. In the 1970s a carnivorous snail was introduced to the island as a source of protein for poor farmers. Within two decades it had driven several species of partula to extinction. "What has the extinction of species you knew so well meant to you?" I asked, half-expecting a soliloquy on personal loss.
"Our traditional study of the evolution of partula ended with the extinction," he replied. "But it offers us an opportunity to investigate what will happen to the niche the snail once occupied."
At times, however, even a hardened scientist can be undone by the extinction of an animal he has studied. A few days after the last dusky seaside sparrow--once a resident of eastern Florida´s Merritt Island--died in 1987, Herb Kale described himself to a colleague as "stalwart, cool and calm." An ornithologist with the Florida Audubon Society, Kale was known for his scientific detachment. "After all, I´m a scientist, not one of those emotional conservationists," he said. He had studied the dusky for decades and had helped manage the aging, lone-surviving bird before its death in captivity.
Months after the death, Kale received an epitaph written to the dusky by a friend: "To think that a necklace would never miss one of its pearls. Or a song one of its notes. Neither this spring, nor ever again, will your exuberant performances appear on nature´s stage." After reading it, Kale broke into sobs. "I´ll never, never again see that bird or hear that song in the St. Johns marshes!" he cried, letter in hand.
Kale once told me, "Memories of my sparrow will ride the final beat of my heart." When that last beat came during a heart attack late one night in 1995, Kale was one more light of living memory of the dusky extinguished. The end of a species is followed by the extinction of human experience: Who will mourn when the last soul to have personally known the dusky fades away?
Fearing that the dusky would be forgotten, for several years I gathered hundreds of recollections from people who had known the bird, and I wove them into a book. Now that a number of those people have died, are these mere few hundred pages all that stand between the once vibrant dusky and its passage into oblivion?
Eighty-six-year-old Harry Lange recalls with bafflement and sorrow that spring day in 1941 when he pulled out his net at San Francisco´s Presidio, swept it through the air to capture a Xerces blue butterfly and dumped his catch in his killing jar. Many times he had gone to vacant lots on the military post to add to his collection. He knew the insects had become more scarce in the preceding years, but he, as did other collectors, believed them still alive in several other places near San Francisco. But the previous few had dwindled to one, and that was the one Harry caught.
Not long ago I accompanied Harry to the very spot at the Presidio where he collected the specimen. Standing in an abandoned parking lot near the old naval hospital, he turned around a few times to get his bearings, mapping out his steps as he remembered them. "It would have been over there!" he finally announced, pointing with his finger down a slope and into a patch of underbrush. "I could never have imagined it would be the last seen alive."
To this day the retired entomology professor from the University of California, Davis, exudes a boyish wonder energized by a scientific zeal when he speaks of the small blue butterfly he studied and loved. But when he speaks of its unexpected extinction, bewilderment overcomes him. "There were no real surveys of the Xerces at the time, and we had no idea it was close to extinction. I always thought there would be more. I was wrong."
A few miles south of the Presidio, within a 3,600-acre recreational reserve on San Bruno Mountain, three other Bay Area butterflies still cling to existence--the mission blue, the callippe silverspot and the San Bruno elfin. I once watched a brilliant mission blue alight on a lupine before riding a stiff breeze and flying over a grassy hillock and out of sight. In the distance, the sprawl of San Francisco, an industrial park and the new development of Altamar gnawed at the mountain´s base, eroding butterfly habitat yard by yard. Would this be my parting glimpse of the mission blue, my near-death experience with a vanishing species?
I drove down the mountain and to the condominiums at Altamar. To my astonishment, the main road through the development, bedecked with colorful pennants for the grand opening, was called Mission Blue. I stopped by the sales office for a brochure. Its cover was graced with an elegant line-drawing of a butterfly. Farther along, Mission Blue intersected with Silverspot Drive. After I turned around on Callippe Court, I pondered the bittersweet experience of future generations who will be reminded of the iridescent butterflies that once flashed in the sunlight on San Bruno Mountain by the names on street signs.
Seventy-year-old Alexander Sprunt IV, an ornithologist and former director of field research for the National Audubon Society, remembers vividly the day more than 30 years ago when he accompanied his ornithologist father, Alexander Sprunt, Jr., to the I´on swamp outside of Charleston, South Carolina, to search for the rare Bachman´s warbler. A century earlier, the bird had ranged across the Southeast, but unregulated hunting and habitat loss there and in Caribbean wintering grounds had decimated its numbers.
"I heard the warbler high in the trees, singing on and on and on," Sprunt recalls of the wiry, insectlike song. It was the last he ever heard the warbler--and among the handful of final experiences of the species by anyone still living today. Decades have passed since the last documented sighting, and in all likelihood, Bachman´s warbler is extinct. "Looking back, I grow sad for what the world has lost," Sprunt says. "Witnessing the last of anything is a privilege, but a sad one. Memories are all that´s left."
But memory can also be a beginning. In his 1996 essay "The Mission of Memory," columnist and novelist Michael Ventura wrote, "When something becomes memory, it becomes us, a part of us, and it begins to behave as we do. How can that not be so? For we remember what we related to."
Science alone cannot assess the diminished quality of a world without the ivorybill or the Xerces blue. Psychologists have not begun to ponder the emotional toll of the loss of fellow life. Nor have theologians reckoned the spiritual impoverishment that extinction brings. To forget what we had is to forget what we have lost. And to forget what we have lost means never knowing what we had to begin with. That would be among the greatest tragedies of all.

FINAL ROUND LEADERBOARD -12 P Mickelson (US)-10 R J Quinney (US)-7 L Donald (GB), P Harrington (Ire)
Phil Mickelson held off playing partner Jeff Quinney to win the Northern Trust Open by two shots at Riviera Country.
Mickelson, who had let slip an early three-stroke lead to trail by one after the turn, clinched his 33rd PGA Tour title with a one-under-par 70.
The American world number posted a 12-under total of 272 as Quinney imploded on the final nine.
Britain's Luke Donald shared third place at seven under with British Open champion Padraig Harrington.
Mickelson, making his 10th start at Riviera Country Club, follows in the footsteps of golfing greats Sam Snead, Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson.
"The names that are on this trophy are pretty cool and bring up an element of history to this tournament," Mickelson said.
"Riviera is a special place and it has some of the greatest holes on the PGA Tour.
"Last year was really the first year I played well here and to break through with a victory feels terrific. I have wanted to win this for such a long time."
Mickelson has been working with swing coach Butch Harmon for almost a year and believes his game is close to where he wants it to be for this year's majors.
"I can see the improvement, but it's not quite to where I believe I can get it," he said.
"But it's been much better than in the past so I feel like I'm getting better. I can taste where I want to get to but I'm not quite there yet."
Donald, who had five birdies and two bogeys in his final round, was pleased with his first outing in America this year.
"It's my first event on the PGA Tour and to come out and to play solidly all week, it's very encouraging," he said.
"It's just showing the work I've been doing over the off season is starting to pay off."
Harrington, after dropping two shots on his outward nine, came home in 32 after four birdies helped him recover.
"I tried to be aggressive and go out there and maybe shoot a six or seven under par but that didn't happen," said the Irishman.
"It was a question of knuckling down and getting the best out of the round I could."
What are these?

This is the story of a miscarriage. Sharing stories of miscarriage often helps those who are grieving heal, and those who may be in the midst feel connected. The miscarriage portion of this story was written as the events actually occurred. My husband and I wrote separately about our feelings concerning the miscarriage a few weeks later.

The Miscarriage

Once again we have lost another pregnancy. We found out that we were pregnant three days after our anniversary. It was a great feeling! Considering that our last pregnancy was an ectopic pregnancy, a tubal, we had to go to the High Risk OB quickly.

I started spotting a few days later and tried to ignore it. I went to the Emergency Room on Friday. They said that my hCGs were rising a bit slowly, but we had a great ultrasound and to not worry about it. I had an inkling that something wasn't right, but I tried to tell myself that I knew too much about pregnancy and was being a hypochondriac. Then I would tell myself that I am the one who always tells everyone to listen to the mother, that she knows more than they do. Well, I was right, I did know.

My regular prenatal appointment the following Monday said the same thing. They even pointed out that the gestational sac would be expected to be irregular for someone who had been bleeding for 10 days. It was perfect. We even saw movement of the fetal pole.

My husband had been out of town finishing his doctoral dissertation. He got home Saturday night and we spent a quiet evening inside. The next morning he got up to go teach religious school while I stayed home with the children.

While I was cooking lunch for the family I had a strange feeling and ran to the bathroom. It was like all hell broke loose. I sat down and blood clots that were huge and hard started coming out, about 30 seconds later my husband came in the door. I started crying, after trying to tell him that everything was okay. It had to be okay, I kept promising him a baby. We decided to call the doctor who said to go back to the Emergency Room.

We got there and my bleeding was listed as heavy, and my blood pressure was about 82/37. Considering I was still anemic from my liver rupturing a few months before, we went for the D & C.

I actually felt better when I woke up. My husband took me home and we began our recovery in earnest.

Today, a few weeks later, I am still okay, and dealing. I am weepy and angry, and my poor husband never knows which. He is sad, too, in a different way and for a different reason. We have managed to learn to grieve differently and yet together. It's really good to have him with me.

Dad's Version

An expecting father who suffers loss can feel like a failure for not being able to provide the "perfect" conditions necessary to produce a healthy baby. Perhaps it was the time you yelled at your partner, simply because you were aggravated by some external event. Or, maybe you should have simply made your partner stay in bed for the first nine months of pregnancy. If only you could have had some sense of control, you would have known exactly what to do. Maybe it was bad genetic material — those blue jeans were indeed much too tight! If only the older siblings could have stayed under your control and miraculously found it in themselves to behave for the sake of their mother's pregnancy. The sense of ineffectiveness can simply be overwhelming.

After a loss, a man can try to comfort his partner. But, how many hugs, how many words of love and comfort will it take to fill such a great emotional chasm? Nothing seems to quite make up for the loss of a potential child. What might they have been like? What greatness might the future have held for you and your baby? The overwhelming sense of loss of the unknown can eat away at your psyche, as easily as termites eat through wood, leaving behind a fragile shell, with all of your future plans taken away, leaving nothing but a vacuous void. The loss of what might have been can be as great as any pain you have ever felt. In the shadow of such pain and loss, how can anything you say or do possibly make you partner's grief any less?

Sex can seem rather unappetizing, too. After all, that is what started the whole fiasco in the first place. Your partner may seem just as pretty and beautiful, but she might not seem as tantalizingly sexy right now. Why ravish her if you will only hurt the both of you? Why suffer needlessly again? Maybe your partner thinks you are a big loser for not being able to reproduce properly. Heck, everybody else is having babies and you can't. Why would your partner want to try again with a loser? If only the pregnancy had made it, you would have a baby, and you and your partner could still be just as lustful as ever!

Now all you might have is a sense of loss that only time can heal. Another baby won't be able to replace the one you just lost. Something unique is gone forever.

Mom's Story

The miscarriages that I have had have all been different, I have been unfortunate enough to have had more than one. Some have ended peacefully on their own, and others, due to emergency situations have ended with surgery. Either way the loss is great. The physical pain doesn't compare to the shadows of emotional scars.

I have often found myself wondering the classic - "Why me?"

Guilt. Why did I pick the toddlers up to carry them around the zoo? Did I forget a prenatal vitamin? Was it the aerobics that I did? Why can't I have a baby? You begin to feel like everyone can have a baby but you. Is there something wrong with you? Genetics that are out of place? An improper place to grow a baby? Was it the hormones that your mother took in the 60's to prevent you from being miscarried? This guilt can eat you alive.

I look at my husband and he seems oblivious. He must not care, or he's thinking that he should have married somebody with a womb that works. Maybe if I try again then I can make him love me again... He doesn't respond to my sexual advances. When I cry I feel like he is looking at me with eyes that say, "This again? Can't you get over it?" I long for his comforting touch, it doesn't come. I fall asleep crying into my pillow, alone again.

Will I ever have a baby to hold?
