Like most sensible creatures, manatees — the sea cows that live in the waters around Florida — seek warmth when it's cold.
On Thursday morning, roughly 500 of the gentle, aquatic giants crowded into the Three Sisters Springs as temperatures along Florida's Gulf Coast dipped below 50 degrees.
"They're basically chilling in the springs sleeping," said Ivan Vincente, visitor services specialist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge (www.fws.gov/refuge/crystal_river/). "They're spending the vast majority of the time resting and conserving energy."
Not a bad way to spend the winter.
They're basically chilling in the springs sleeping.
Ivan Vincente, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
Vincente said this year is unusual because the manatees arrived at the springs about 60 miles north of Tampa in January and have camped out there for weeks because of the cold.
At Blue Spring State Park (www.floridastateparks.org/park/Blue-Spring) north of Orlando, manatee counts have run 300 to 340 the last few days. There, and in Riviera Beach, where a new manatee viewing area opened this month next to the FPL power plant, the creatures are visible on manatee cams (www.savethemanatee.org/savethemanateecam.html, www.visitmanateelagoon.com/manatee-cam/).
Three Sisters Springs have been periodically closed to swimmers because of the large concentration of the endangered animals — but that hasn't stopped visitors from flocking to the boardwalk to gawk at the behemoths, which can weigh up to 1,300 pounds.
"Awesome. It's just a wonderful creature," said Jody Shifflette, a manatee lover who recently moved from West Virginia to Florida. "I think a lot of people don't think about them. You see your deer and your fish and things like that, but to see these, it's just awesome."
Awesome. It's just a wonderful creature.
Jody Shifflette, visitor at Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge
Shiflette and her husband were out on a recent day taking photos of the animals, which resemble giant, floating brown boulders in the startlingly blue thermal bath.
She described the experience of watching the manatees as "calming," their sleeping forms rising to the surface periodically to draw a breath, then sinking into the crystalline water.
Manatees are very susceptible to cold weather. They can suffer hypothermia and cold stress and will eventually die if they are in water below 68 degrees.
Cold weather and boat strikes are the cause of most manatee deaths. In 1991, there were only about 1,200 manatees in Florida waters. Now, that number has risen to 6,300, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed changing their status to the less dire "threatened."

Ask us about creative causes, and we're all about supporting the good ones! An unlikely crusader for the welfare of stray dogs is a Bengaluru-based artist, Aarohi Singh. But first let's tell you more about Aarohi, who is known among art aficionados because of her blog, Art by Aarohi. She loves to create magic with her brushes on various mediums (think kettles, canvas, fabrics, wood and other surfaces), and doesn't restrict herself to conformity, or sticking to one method.
Less than two years ago, Aarohi and her friend, Rakesh Shukla, the founder of The Voice of Stray Dogs, came up with an idea to raise funds for the welfare of stray dogs in a fun, fashion-friendly approach! Aarohi mulled over the exciting concept and that's when the basic idea of Poonchh was formed.
The fashion and lifestyle label is a clever combination of the words, poonchh (it means to ask or question in Hindi) and pooch, the most colloquial term for a dog. Using the silhouette of three stray dogs, Aarohi created the designs for the label. And, we love the various colour combinations, within which these patterns are emblazoned, on the surface of each Poonchh product. We already have dibs on a couple of totes and pouches we like best from the line… Woof!
Prices for the Poonchh range start at 400 INR onwards, and 50 percent of every Poonchh purchase made goes to welfare programmes for stray puppies and dogs.

It's relatively easy to see the limb that needs to be pruned, the leaf that is yellowing, or the borer hole in the bark. However, it isn't exactly easy to get a glimpse at the issues that lie beneath the soil: roots girdling your tree's trunk, being attacked by root rot and decay fungi, or suffocating under compacted soils. Fortunately, arborists can see beneath the soil — thanks to a process called air excavation.
It is no surprise that the root system plays a vital role to the health of your tree. We all learned in grade school that a tree's roots absorb water and nutrients from the soil. But they do more: a root system stores the tree's energy reserves, offers structural support, and allows for the exchange of gasses.
What many do not realize is that 80% of a tree's roots are located within 2-3 feet of the soil surface and spread as much as 2 to 3 times the height of the tree. A tree's root system is massive, but it is also delicate. Because of its size and placement, a tree's root system is quite susceptible to stresses induced by compacted soils, poor planting conditions, or construction work.
Until recently, the only way to inspect a tree's roots was to conduct a sort of archeological dig. The process was time consuming and had the potential of doing more harm than good. However, through the use of compressed air and the process of air excavation, a tree's roots can be exposed with minimal damage to the root structure.
It seems odd. You would think that highly pressurized air shot at a tree's roots would cause some sort of damage. However, because tree roots are not porous, they are not disturbed by air excavation. The procedure has proven to be invaluable in performing a number of diagnostic evaluations. Air excavation can be used to inspect root collars, prevent and mitigate construction damage, perform soil replacement therapy, transplant trees, conduct arboricultural research, or even deter the spread of diseases like Dutch elm disease and oak wilt by uncovering root grafts.
The information learned from actually looking at the roots can help arborists take the steps necessary to safeguard your tree's health and avoid much more costly issues in the future. During a root collar inspection, an arborist is able to determine if the tree was planted too deeply, to diagnose root rot or existing root injuries, and to remove girdling roots. At construction sites — before or after you build that addition to your home — the process makes it possible to properly prune roots that are at risk of being damaged, to install utilities around roots, and to relieve soil compaction.
It's amazing how much can be accomplished when you can actually see the task at hand!

Update: Photos from Toracon 2017 will be uploaded May 6.
How have I gone for so long without updating this? I can't believe I would make that mistake… Okay, so that's not true, I can totally see me doing that. Which isn't hard, because I just did it.
Welcome to The Fullmetal Narcissist's weekly anime blog! You can call me Naru for short. I express my otaku addiction with an update on Saturday morning of every week, posting both new and old content for your reading pleasure. I post reviews, lists, editorials, song lyrics, trivia samples, and other writing projects.
As for my otaku history… Well, like a lot of people my age and below, I was introduced to anime at a young age through an abrupt Pokemon obsession. I stuck to that, Sailor Moon and Dragonball Z for a long while, before my fanhood was revolutionized by Cardcaptors. That was the show… As well as the mangas in my public library… that got me interested in pursuing animes that weren't being broadcast on my TV. It got me into fanfic writing, which lead to me becoming interested in writing in the first place.
From there, I got into Azumanga Daioh and Excel Saga, and the rest, as they say, is history.
To be honest, I was still just viewing anime as a light-hearted past-time at the time, checking out the other ADV shows that were being advertised on my Excel Saga DVDs, when I was suddenly thrust into a life long obsession by Fullmetal Alchemist, which has been my favorite show of any variety for about six years now.
I've gone farther and farther down the rabbit hole over the last ten years, and with hundreds of title under my belt, I've created this blog to pass my collected knowledge onto you!
I will take requests for reviews, if there's a show you'd like me to write about, but for the sake of convenience, please make it 26 episodes or less.
Oh, and if you're so inclined, you can find our Youtube channel at the link below. We've done some video reviews, as well as some other cool stuff, so check it out!

Levitex Foams Ltd
Levitex Foams Ltd was founded to address an identified need in the healthcare market for quality therapeutic mattresses. The company has developed a new Levitex foam product that directly addresses poor body alignment and posture, with a particular focus on those users that are bed-bound. Failure to address poor posture whilst bed-bound can significantly exacerbate a patient's condition, potentially leading to pressure sores and sleep deprivation resulting in a worsening of the patient's health condition, leading to an extended and more costly stay in hospital.
Levitex has developed a postural management sleep system (class 1 medical device) for those patients suffering with complex neurological illness or Injury, including Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy, Motor Neurone Disease, as well as sufferers of stroke and hypoxic brain injury: the company is currently listed as a supplier to the NHS.
The properties of the innovative Levitex foam are that it compresses easily to 65% of its original size making it very soft, comfortable and mouldable to the user, whilst retaining its firmness if further pressure is applied. The material properties allow for both the required moulded support but also comfort. Levitex also reports that their mattress is cheaper to manufacture than traditional foam mattresses, does not retain heat, and is more breathable due to its construction when compared to visco-elastic or conventional polyurethane foam.
Reports suggest that nearly 700,000 people are affected by pressure ulcers each year in the UK, across all care settings, including patients in their own homes, with the most vulnerable of patients aged over 75. Around 186,617 patients develop a pressure ulcer in hospital each year, and the cost of treating a pressure ulcer varies from £1,214 to £14,108; costs increase with severity because the time to heal is longer and the likelihood of complications are higher in severe case [1].
The Company perceives a global opportunity to re-think standard hospital and care home mattress supply: by using its latest polyurethane foam material combined with the very latest scientific research, the Company is seeking to launch their brand into a market that is not only stable but growing and is actively seeking solutions to what is an increasingly costly problem.
In addition to the healthcare market, the Company perceives a domestic retail market that is seeking a high quality, but affordable product that has superior properties than those already available on the market. The Company reports that it is in advanced talks with various prominent retailers.

BIR has until Dec 26 to conclude discussions with Sicpa
The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has just until Dec. 26 to conclude discussions with Switzerland-based Sicpa Product Security SA for the firm's unsolicited proposal to provide tamper proof security stamps on cigarettes and alcohol products in the Philippines, an agency official said.
BIR Deputy Commissioner Lilia Guillermo, in a recent briefing with lawmakers on the Sicpa project, said that under the Build-Operate-Transfer Law or RA 7718, a government agency that receives an unsolicited proposal from the private sector has until 60 days to negotiate the project. The BIR started negotiations with Sicpa last Oct. 26.
This means that the two parties have to thresh out all the thorny issues regarding the project by Dec. 26. One major issue is the project cost which cigarettesmall.biz/buy/marlboro refuse to shoulder. They said they would have to pass on the additional cost to consumers.
Once the two parties finalize the negotiations, the BIR would have to subject Sicpa's unsolicited proposal to a Swiss challenge in 2010, said Guillermo, who heads the team negotiating with Sicpa.
However, as the original proponent, Sicpa is entitled to challenge incoming proposals. Cigarette manufacturer Philip Morris has expressed interest in providing a similar service, said Guillermo.
Sicpa, she also said, is determined to bag the multi-billion contract for the stamp-tax projected intended to curb smuggling of cigarette and alcohol products.
At this stage of negotiations, the BIR is in talks with Sicpa to lower the project cost so that it would translate to a 20-centavo to 30-centavo additional increase per pack in the price of cigarettes from the initial estimate of 50-centavo increase in cigarettes online buy.
Guillermo said a 20-centavo increase is feasible. Lawmakers have questioned the SICPA project but Finance Secretary Margarito Teves has assured that there is nothing final in the ongoing negotiations of the BIR with the Swiss firm, stressing that a "process" has to be observed.
He earlier said even if the BIR wraps up its negotiations with SICPA for the latter's stamp-tax technology project, the proposal would still be sent back to the National Economic and for board approval and subsequently be subjected to a Swiss Challenge.

Uffizi & Vasari Corridor: Morning Tour
Vasari Corridor is most likely reopening in 2019.
Stay in touch with FlorencePass best supplier of Vasari Corridor visits between 2012 and 2016. Send us an e-mail to be given first hand information about its reopening firstname.lastname@example.com.
Despite of its announced reopening in May 2018 no further communication has been given by the director of the Uffizi Galleries and it seems that no work at all has been started, besides plans, to respect its reopening in May 2018.
*this was the descriptive page when tour is available
How to make a reservation for a guided tour to Uffizi & Vasari Corridor? Never so simple!
Your FlorenceTour is a memorable experience through the Medici's private passageway from the Uffizi Gallery across the Ponte Vecchio, avoiding 100% any queue and including all entrance-tickets both to Uffizi Gallery and Vasari Corridor, the latter more and more famous since the publication of Inferno, Dan Brown's latest novel.
Since May 2012 you can join Uffizi Gallery & Vasari Corridor Florence Small Group Tour and be one of the many tourists from all over the world, enthusiastic about having found a simple way - with FlorencePass - to have access to such an intimate and spectacular place.
Our mission is to make such a splendid architectural uniqueness accessible providing unrivalled Quality/Price Ratio, maximizing your precious time: NO LONG QUEUE.
Highlights of this Tour:
• Uffizi Gallery's iconic paintings admired with a professional fluent English speaking tour-guide
• Breathtaking views of Florence from Uffizi's panoramic terrace
• Exclusive walk through the Vasari Corridor with exhaustive description of its unique collection of artists' self-portraits.
After the welcome, you will enter the Uffizi Gallery through a skip the line access. Your guide will tell you about history and origins, colors and shapes, of some of the most famous paintings in the world, as the Madonna Enthroned by Giotto, the Adoration of the Magi by Gentile da Fabriano, the portraits of the Dukes of Urbino by Piero della Francesca, the Birth of Venus and Allegory of Spring by Botticelli, the Leonardo da Vinci's Annunciation, and the Michelangelo's Tondo Doni.
After that, you will take a break for about twenty/thirty minutes at the Uffizi Café, where you can enjoy an amazing view of Florence from the rooftop terrace.
Directly from the Uffizi Gallery, you will enter into the Vasari Corridor, where your guide will tell you first the architecture and history of the famous building, and then the artistic treasures that it houses.
Designed by Giorgio Vasari (1511-1574), the Vasari Corridor in Florence served as passage and as an escape route for the Medici family.The Vasari Corridor in fact connects the Palazzo Vecchio, which is located on the north bank of the Arno River, with the newest and most prestigious Pitti Palace in the Oltrarno, south bank of the river. Palazzo Pitti was purchased in 1549 by Cosimo I de' Medici and his wife Eleonora of Toledo, and soon became their new residence.
The Vasari Corridor superbly travels through the top floor of the Uffizi Palace, and reaches the world-famous Ponte Vecchio with a 90° bend, in order to cross the Arno River and continue towards the Pitti Palace.The Corridor allowed the Medici family to reach safely their new residence without being seen by their subjects!
During your Uffizi & Vasari Corridor Morning Tour you will discover the unique collection of self-portraits (up to the twentieth century) and many other masterful works featured in the Vasari Corridor.

"Call it what you will, traditional British cheese on toast is a national institution, an iconic snack enjoyed by all, regardless of class or background! What can be simpler and tastier, hunks of homemade or crusty farmhouse style bread topped with mature Cheddar cheese, a smidge of mustard and Worcestershire sauce for those who desire an extra kick! This is NOT really a recipe; it is a basic method for making a super tasty and nutritious fast food dish. There is even a Cheese on Toast Day celebrated in the UK - mark your calendars now, the last Thursday in April has been set aside for this comforting supper treat. I lived on cheese on toast whilst I was a student, as I am sure most students do nowadays! You can use other British cheeses, but I find the best cheese without a doubt, is a good mature farmhouse cheddar. Make sure your bread is thickly sliced and you have your plates ready and waiting to receive the molten cheesy snack - pull up a chair by the fireside in the winter and enjoy your 5-minute culinary efforts! (This is an all year around snack I hasten to add.) An interesting historical note; toasted cheese was served as the final course to male diners during Edwardian times, in Gentleman's Clubs........the cheese was melted and served in a pot with the toast set around the edges - a sort of Gentleman's Club fondue!"
Cheese on Toast - Cheap and Cheerful British Toasted Cheese
8 recipe photos
READY IN:6mins
YIELD:4 Slices of Cheese on Toast
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 slices crusty bread (thick slices)
- 2 teaspoons English mustard
- 8 ounces mature british cheddar cheese, sliced or, grated
- 2 -3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
- salt and pepper
- Preheat the grill to hot and toast the bread on both sides. Spread a little mustard on each slice, then top with the cheese, laying the slices of cheese as close as possible to the edges of the toast. (Pile the grated cheese over the top evenly, again as close to the edges as possible.).
- Sprinkle over the Worcestershire sauce to taste then pop the cheese on toast under the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden and bubbling.
- Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately with Branston pickle, chutney, relish and/or pickled onions.
- Serves 2 to 4 depending on "greed level" and hunger! Alternatively, serves an impoverished student as a main course meal!
- Tip - for full flavour, use a mature Farmhouse Cheddar and good quality thick sliced bread – I prefer white, but granary and wholemeal are fine.
- Final note - Cooking Style.
- There are generally two schools of Cheese on Toast Chefery, those who use grated cheese, and those who use slabs of cheese. It has even been suggested that peoples personality is reflected in how they cook their cheese on toast.
- Slabbers are direct and focused. The key for them being that is quick, easy, and generates minimal washing up.
- Graters tend to be more extravert and creative. They will spend minutes piling extra cheese onto each piece of the toast. Most of this cheese will fall off the toast when its inserted under the grill. Slabbers tend to think that the amount of grated cheese piled on a slice of toast is inversely proportional to the chance of being made to clean the grill pan.
- Obsessive Slabbers. An obsessive slabber will arrange the slices of cheese to totally cover the bread, not overlap the sides of the bread, and not overlap each other.
- Warning:A Slabber will generally be happy to be given a plate of grated Cheese on toast, but Graters always look disappointed with slab Cheese on toast! Relationships have ended over this point.

I am back. It has been a harrowing two weeks with no computer access. It is amazing how disconnected one could feel without email. Oh, how I longed to update Stubborn Fool, lurk on Facebook, and tweet on Twitter. I feel as if the world has passed me by without the regular flow of news.
Having no access to my favourite news, sites, and blogs I found myself listening to more radio, watching more news on TV and cleaning my condo. So perhaps I should thank that the dreaded blue screen of death for rearing its ugly head. The hardware problems culminated into a burnt ram card and possibly a shorted motherboard. After six years it was time to buy a new PC. Holy crap is this thing fast or what!? After an extensive
ten minutes of research I decided to stick with a PC rather than a Mac. I also went with an Intel I5 Processor, 1.5 TB hard drive, 8GB RAM, a 1GB integrated video card, and a really crappy mouse. The mouse was a thrown-in so I will salvage my old far superior mouse, even though the casing is a little warn.
|WKRP in Cincinnati
One of the things I got to do was watch my video tapes of WKRP in Cincinnati. If you are thinking John from Cincinnati and have no idea what I am talking about I would guess you are under the age of thirty. WKRP is a situation comedy that premiered in 1978 and aired for four seasons. It featured the misadventures of an inept radio station crew as they grew from a last placed station to a top ranked performer. When it aired live and then in its initial run in syndication the show featured an amazing soundtrack of rock and roll from the 50s, 60s and mostly 70s. A ten-year licensing agreement and the high cost of securing the future rights to these songs forced the producers to make a decision, edit out the music or forget about airing the show in reruns. Without its original music the show has lost much of it's charm. Much of the plot and punchlines tied into the music that has been replaced with generic riffs.
Much of the comedy remains, how can we forget the absurd newscasts, mispronunciations and conspiracy ridden rants of Les Nesman?

The Jets' Myers will play his first game back in Buffalo
Buffalo, NY (WGR 550) - The Sabres just played in Winnipeg on Friday and tonight, the Jets are here.
It's been almost three years since Tyler Myers was traded to Winnipeg, but tonight will be the first time he's played in this arena as a member of the Jets. The big defenseman said, "It'll be fun, first game back since the trade." Myers has played twice against the Sabres in Winnipeg.
Myers won the Calder Trophy as rookie of the year in Buffalo, but as his career went on here, fans began to turn on him. Despite that, he has fond memories, "There are a lot of good memories. It was a fun city to play in, we had a really good group of guys, there aren't that many there anymore, but it was fun, I really enjoyed my time there."
Winnipeg comes in with wins in five out of six games and have gotten points in all six games.
Connor Hellebuyck has really taken over in the crease and done very well. He's 23-4-6 with a 2.36 goals against and .923 savde percentage.
Mark Scheifele has 38 points in 38 games, but he's out long-term. The Jets still have Blake Wheeler who has 50 points in 43 games and Patrik Laine who has 18 goals.
The Sabres come home after seven straight road games. They won only once in the seven games going 1-4-2.
They have given up 14 goals in three games, with two of those empty netters.
Robin Lehner missed practice on Monday, but he's OK and will get the start. Lehner is 9-16-6 with a 2.87 goals against and .911 save percentage.
Lehner had a great rebound game in Philadelphia making many huge saves. He stopped 25 of 27 shots.
Jack Eichel has taken the Sabres scoring lead from Evander Kane. Eichel had an assist in Philly breaking a streak of three straight games without a point. Kane has just one point in five games.
Brendan Guhle will play his fourth NHL game tonight and first this season. In 35 games with Rochester, Guhle had seven goals and 13 assists for 20 points. The Sabres have two home games before their five day break, so Guhle will likely go back down after Thursday's game.
Buffalo got a power play goal in Philadelphia giving them power play goals in three of five games.
The penalty kill has faltered giving up goals in seven out of eight games. Phil Housley knows why, "Number one, we're giving teams too many opportunities and number two, we're not getting into the shot lane. We're not getting that 200-foot clear at the critical time in the penalty kill and those were the areas we were really good at.
"We've been pretty good at home here and we've got to continue to be good in these last two home games."
The Sabres are 91.3 percent in this building on the penalty kill which is third in the NHL.
Tuesday's lines:
Girgensons Eichel Okposo
Kane O'Reilly Pominville
Wilson Rodrigues Reinhart
Larsson Josefson Nolan
Scandella Ristolainen
Beaulieu Bogosian
Guhle McCabe
Join Schopp and the Bulldog at 6:00 for the pregame live from 716 when they'll be joined by Phil Housley, Tyler Myers and Brendan Guhle

Church Times Article on Southern Cone
"We simply told them, if you are going to leave, then we will do our best to receive you in a temporary and pastoral way," [++Venables] said. "Knowing the Southern Cone's desire for everyone to be able to stay within the Communion until this situation is in some way or another resolved, the dioceses who are already in close relationship with us discussed the possibility.
"Once people are out of the Anglican Communion, it's very difficult for them to participate in what's going to happen. There are so many American groups who have left and lost their status in that way." Representatives of four US dioceses had gone to Buenos Aires and met with the House of Bishops in mid-August, he confirmed. The Bishops had consequently presented a motion for affiliation to the Synod in Valparaiso last week, which had been overwhelmingly approved. ...
"We are not going to cross boundaries in this. If [dioceses] want to leave, then they've made their decision, and the doors are open — but only those who have taken the steps to walk away from the Episcopal Church," he emphasised. The three Forward in Faith (FiF) dioceses of Fort Worth, Quincy, and San Joaquin confirmed at the FiF international conference in London last month that conversations about affiliating with an overseas province were "very far along" (News, 26 October).
When asked if it made any difference whether disaffected dioceses joined the Convocation of Anglicans in North America (CANA) or the Province of the Southern Cone, Bishop Venables said there was "No difference whatsoever. We just feel we're here to help, and they decide where they'd like to find a home. People are free to choose. If a decision is to be made, we want it to be an accountable and shared decision that we all make, not just an unravelling that happens because circumstances take it that way."

We Bought A House!Sunday, March 26, 2017
I started doubting I'd ever write this post, but it's here and it's happened: we bought a house! After seventeen long months of searching, we closed last week on our brick fixer upper. We're still pinching ourselves and ready for the slew of projects we've got in mind for this old lady.
Some back story: We started searching for a home in October of 2015, naively thinking two months was plenty of time to find and purchase a home by the new year. I have to laugh now at how easy we thought it would be. We had no idea the learning experience we were in for.
The search started out smooth enough, but got bumpier when we started running into issues with our home loan. Turns out, banks aren't too eager to hand over money when you or your spouse are self-employed. I wrote a little bit about that here. It took a lot of patience, research, and tears before we made it all the way back to square one again, but finally pre-approved for a loan. At that point, we were feeling better about the process (if not a little leery) when the housing market seemed to shut down completely. There were no new listings for what seemed like months.
Mark and I would spend our evenings driving through neighborhoods, picking out houses that weren't even for sale! We checked Realtor.com daily and sent each other old listings that we'd passed up before, stupidly hoping that maybe we'd like them now. It's true we were feeling a little desperate. The good news in all of this was we were happy in our little rental house in Athens and weren't being rushed to move out. It allowed us to drag out this house search for as long as we needed. But patience, when you've been raring to move for months now, is not an easy thing. There were several times when I thought we were being too picky and convinced myself that we didn't need some of the things on our "must-have" list. The voice of reason always said it would pay off to wait, but I'd be lying if I said it was always easy to listen to it.
Whenever we spotted a new listing with some potential, we would instantly text it to our realtor who, in most cases, would get us in to see it on that very day. A lot of the houses we were interested in would go under contracts within hours of listing, it was crazy! We would hop in the car and drive an hour to the town we were looking in, pretending to not be hopeful but secretly falling in love with the house before we even got there. Listing photos rarely show the whole picture and my mind would easily fill in the rest on that hour drive, only to be sorely disappointed when we walked through the front door. We'd drive the hour back home feeling defeated and grumpy, only to repeat the whole process the next week.
One weekend, we went to look at a house in an area we really liked. The house was cute, but smaller than we wanted. As we were driving away, we spotted a For Sale sign in the front yard of one of the neighboring houses. We pulled over to the curb to call the number on the sign. It was priced way out of our range. We sat there looking at it for a little while, but eventually started the car and drove back home to Athens.
Several months went by before that same house reappeared on Realtor.com, this time for a much lower price. I instantly called our realtor and we set up a time to view the house. This was in October. We fell in love. It was beautiful in its original 1960s way -- pink bathroom and all. We still couldn't buy it, though. All that fall and winter, we continued to look for houses with this ranch always in the back of our minds. We knew we'd be able to make a move once the new year arrived, but it was too much to hope for that the house wouldn't sell by then. I'm not exaggerating when I say I checked the listing status every. single. day. each time expecting to see pending written in big red letters.
Four months went by and, by some miracle, the house sat there waiting for us. We went by to look at it one more time in February to make sure that months of fantasizing hadn't made it out to be better than it actually was. Nope, we were still very much in love. We made an offer on my birthday and the rest is history.
The house checks all of our boxes -- everything we were so picky about during the never-ending search -- down to the original hardwood flooring we discovered beneath the carpet. It has so much potential that we're excited to bring out. At this point, I have about a thousand lists of projects for this house. It's in wonderful shape for its age (built in 1963), but we have several updates we want to make. It's going to be a work-in-progress for quite some time, but we're still giddy at the thought of having our own house and turning it into a home.
Let the projects begin!

I am just so happy for y'all! House buying is always so hard but I so am in love with brick ranchers. It will so suit your midcentury style! I'm sure you'll return it to its original glory! If you have any questions about home reno or need a sympathetic ear, don't hesitate to reach out! Mark and I have been down that road too! It's so fun though-- it makes you love the house even more in the end.ReplyDelete
Congratulations!! I can't even imagine what the process of buying a house is going to be like. I am currently browsing--not really diving too far into anything, but just kind of getting a feel for prices and the things that I like. Do you have any suggestions for someone who is just starting out now that you've finally landed a dream house of your own?ReplyDelete

So how did it all begin? Without going into great detail, we can look at the seventies and the illegal ordinations that happened at that time. The heretic James Pike had previously ordained a woman to the diaconate, but the ball really got rolling in 1974.
…women deputies were not accepted by General Convention until 1967. By this time the controversial liberal bishop James Pike had already ordained a woman as a deacon, an ordained role oriented toward service and without all the sacramental duties of the priesthood. With the encouragement of the women's movement in the larger society, other breakthroughs followed quickly. The General Convention of 1970 accepted female deacons, and the 1976 Convention admitted women to the priesthood, following the unauthorized 1974 ordinations of eleven women as priests. The first Episcopal woman bishop, Barbara Harris, was consecrated in 1989.
Nevertheless, in the summer of 1974, in Philadelphia's Church of the Advocate, eleven women deacons were ordained to the priesthood by three Episcopal bishops. Two of the bishops were retired; the third had resigned as bishop of Pennsylvania earlier in the year. Neither the bishops, nor the deacons, nor the parish had authorization for the ordinations. In an emergency session, the House of Bishops declared the ordinations invalid and rebuked the ordainers." (page 168)

But now I've moved cross country and need a new provider. As a 30 year old mother of two, there are things more important to me than proximity to home. There are deal killers for me now too. For example...
- I would NEVER work with a care provider who doesn't allow a woman carrying multiples to attempt a vaginal delivery, for the sole reason of "you're carrying multiples." As a surrogate, there was a high chance I' carry multiples. So when searching for a care provider this was one of the first questions I asked.
- It was very important to me to find a doctor with a voice and an opinion on c-section delivery. It was important that her opinion mirrored my own. With Adelia, after pushing for nearly two hours, the doc suggested, "Why don't we just do a C-section and finish this up, dear?" I was so PISSED off... it wasn't even an option for me, especially when the reason was seemingly that the doctor was bored with my slow progress, and I told him as much. Adelia was born 20 minutes later. I'm anti C-Section in ANY situation where it is not absolutely essential to life preservation of mother, baby or both. This isn't a blanket statement for all mothers,but for me- it's absolute. I needed a doctor (and IPS, by the way) who would respect this.
- I also feel strongly about finding a doctor who believed in a woman's ability to deliver naturally. I have experienced both medicated and natural labor/delivery, and see merit to both. I'm nearly 11 weeks pregnant and don't know which route I'll take this time around. But I wanted a doctor with a natural approach. Someone who liked to see moms go natural so that if I do go that route, she won't mistake 8cm Mandy for someone who needs drugs for survival... mine or hers.
- Finally, I wanted a nursing advocate. While this baby may nurse, or may get pumped milk from a bottle (I'm open to either, up to the dads) to start, it will be formula fed after he leaves for Australia. Much as I hate it, it's just logistically impossible for me to nurse an extended period of time. Despite this, I am a major nursing advocate, and I want a provider who is to. I'd want someone who believes strongly as I do that breast is best.
I feel very excited with the provider I chose. She made me excited for the next phase of this process. She's already going out of her way to accommodate me as a surrogate and the parents. We made a point to schedule a time for her to meet the parents when they're here in December. I just know that will give them both great peace. I feel so, so good about adding her to our team. Our surrogacy team. The close knit family of people who are making this baby happen.

One exclusion for this guideline is actually which a few classic might have an all natural patina associated with getting older that really raises their own worth. This really is really worth observing with regard to really high-end classic versions through manufacturers such as as well as Rolex the place where a beautifully older unique item may be worth several that's been as well as restored. Be familiar with the watch's provenance because an item which was as soon as possessed with a individual may bring the higher cost from public sale.

At this year's UK Security Expo, we will be demonstrating our award winning capability to design and install secure entry systems, including automated pedestrian control gates and anti-walk back doors that allow ease of use and access control without compromising security.
We will be sharing Stand E60 with Manusa, our supplier partner of Touran One-Way Security Corridors (also known as anti-walk back systems) and we will have on display its Express Gate access control system that incorporates sliding security glass panels.
Manusa has designed these systems specifically to only allow one-way pedestrian access or egress, particularly to secure areas such at transport terminals and in public buildings.
JLC's experienced team of engineers has recently installed both systems at London Gatwick Airport, whose supplier awards we have won in recent years.
For further information about our automated security systems, please come and meet the Manusa and JLC Automation teams on Stand E60 at UK Security Expo.
We look forward to seeing you there.
