Seeing birth through children's eyes has provided me with some of my fondest moments as a midwife. The wide eyes, the open mouths, the way their little tummies tense in time with their mothers contractions and best of all snuggling into bed together with mum and the new baby. Priceless comments like 'put it back,' 'don't touch it its mine,' 'do it again mum,' 'look Daddy, I found it' and of course, 'how did it get in there?' are my favourites.
The decision to have a child or children present at birth is an entirely personal one. I am often asked what is the right age for this to occur? There really is no right age. I have seen two year olds that have loved the experience and seven year olds that have been terrified. How your child will react and whether having them at the birth is appropriate is something you will be able to judge best. Most importantly, you need to be committed to preparing your child for the event.
The most relaxed environment for children to experience birth is at home where they can wander into other rooms and play or sleep whenever they want to. Birth Centres are also relaxed environments for this because of their family centred approach. Delivery Wards can be a little more difficult because of the need to consider other women and the confinement of a room. I have, however, had many children present at births in the hospital environment that have managed very well.
The most important factor in having a child present at birth is that they are well prepared. This involves telling them about the pregnancy early on and being open about it. There will be lots of questions and if you are not comfortable about these then birth will be very confronting for them.
Involving children in the pregnancy helps them to adjust to the concept of a new sibling easier. Taking your child along to some prenatal visits and letting them listen to the baby's heartbeat and feel your abdomen can help prepare them. If you are having your baby in a Birth Centre or in a Delivery Ward then take the child on a tour so the environment is more familiar to them.
A video of a birth can help prepare children for the process of birth, especially the sounds you will make when in labour. If you videoed or photographed your child's own birth then you might want to let them see this. The situation will be even more real with you in the staring role! Play acting the birth can also help, as children often understand life better this way.
If your child has never seen you naked before, then having a bath with them can help make this more familiar.
You will need to choose a support person for the child. It needs to be someone you would want at the birth but also someone who gets on well with your child. The last thing you need when in labour is to be worrying about your child or have your partner unable to focus on you. Make sure the support person understands their role will be caring for the child and this may mean missing the birth if the child needs to be taken out of the room at any time. Also they need to be prepared to be on call for you in the last few weeks of pregnancy.
Make sure you don't put pressure on yourself or the child to be there. Waking children up in the middle of the night (unless they are older and you've prearranged this) and forcing them to be present is not ideal. Whilst the labour is progressing make sure the child has plenty of entertainment and distractions. Always let your child know that if they want to leave the birth environment at any time this is okay. Children may feel they are letting you down if you don't give them permission to leave.
If you want your child to be shielded from things like vaginal examinations then let the midwife know. Most midwives are receptive to children being at a birth and will work hard to reassure the child. If you have chosen a private obstetrician for the birth make sure they are happy to have the child present, as some may refuse
Give the child jobs to do, such as getting drinks and wiping your brow. When the baby is born let them help dress the baby with the midwife. Children love to pick the first outfit the baby will wear as this makes them feel special and able to have control over something.
Some parents like to organise a present to give to the child from the new baby. You can also get the child to draw a picture or make a present for the baby. Many people giving you gifts for the baby tend to slip in a small present for the other child or children to make them feel special. This should be encouraged as it helps to reduce jealousy especially from those closest to the child like the grandparents or favourite aunty.
Worrying how your first child will react to the new member of the family is a very natural process. The best way to minimise jealousy is to involve your first child in looking after the new baby. Having children at the birth of a new sibling can help them feel a part of the baby's life. Some children become so involved that they actually believe they had a hand in creating the new baby. For some mothers there are feelings of guilt prior to the birth of another child. They feel they are somehow being disloyal to their other child or children, especially the youngest one. Parents can also find it hard to imagine that they could possibly find room in their hearts to love another child as they do the first. Having children at the birth helps make the new baby everyone's responsibility and enables everyone to share in the joy.
A good book to help children prepare for birth is 'Hello Baby' by Jenni Overend & Julie Vivas, ABC books
A kid's perspective of birth . . .
A grammar school teacher from Miami, remembers this Oscar-worthy birth tableau from one of her students...
Well, one day this little girl, Erica, a very bright, very outgoing kid, takes her turn and waddles up to the front of the class with a pillow stuffed under her sweater. She holds up a snapshot of an infant. "This is Luke, my baby brother, and I'm going to tell you about his birthday. First, Mommy and Daddy made him as a symbol of their love, then Daddy put a seed in my mother's stomach, and Luke grew in there. He ate for nine months through an umbrella cord."
She's standing there with her hands on the pillow, and I'm trying not to laugh and wishing I had a video camera rolling. The kids are watching her in amazement. "Then, about two Saturdays ago, my mother starts going, 'Oh, oh, oh!'" Erica puts a hand behind her back and groans. "She walked around the house for, like an hour, "Oh, oh, oh!'" Now the kids' doing this hysterical duck-walk, holding her back and groaning. "My father called the middle wife. She delivers babies, but she doesn't have a sign on the car like the Domino's man. They got my mother to lie down in bed like this." Erica lies down with her back against the wall. "And then, pop! My mother had this bag of water she kept in there in case he got thirsty, and it just blew up and spilled all over the bed, like psshhheew!" The kid has her legs spread and with her little hands is miming water flowing away. It was too much! "Then the middle wife starts going push, push, and breathe, breathe. They start counting, but they never even got past ten. Then, all of a sudden, out comes my brother. He was covered in yucky stuff they said was from the play-centre, so there must be a lot of stuff inside there."
Then Erica stood up, took a big theatrical bow and returned to her seat. I'm sure I applauded the loudest. Ever since then, if it's show-and-tell day, I bring my camcorder - just in case another Erica comes along.

Pheasant, quail, and prairie chicken bring family and friends together
PRATT — For many hunters, Kansas pheasant and quail hunting ranks right up there with Thanksgiving and Christmas — and often coincides. Family and friends who may not have seen each other for a year or more get together and enjoy the outdoors, camaraderie, and putting meat on the table in a time-honored tradition. This winter, pheasant and quail seasons run Nov. 12-Jan. 31, 2012, and while the forecast for bird numbers is down from recent years, the excitement of rekindling old relationships still runs high.
Although good numbers of pheasants and quail will be found in some areas, severe drought and record high temperatures throughout much of the birds' range last spring and summer resulted in fewer birds overall. Generally, the best pheasant hunting in 2011 will be north of I-70 in western Kansas and the best quail hunting will be in the central part of the state. Details can be found in Upland Bird Regional Forecast on the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism's (KDWPT) website,www.kdwpt.ks.us, under "Hunting/Upland Birds."
KDWPT reminds all hunters to avoid standing crops. While most crops have been harvested already, some fields remain uncut, even as late as mid-November. Hunters are asked to stay out of standing crop fields because most farmers do not want these fields disturbed until after harvest. Permission is required to hunt private land, whether it is posted or not.
The season on Kansas' third upland bird — the prairie chicken — runs Nov. 19-Jan. 31 in the Northwest and East units and Nov. 19-Dec. 31 in the Southwest Unit. The best greater prairie chicken hunting should be in native grasslands from the northern Flint Hills westward throughout the Smoky Hills along the I-70 corridor.
The daily bag limit on pheasants is four roosters, and the daily bag on quail is eight birds. The daily bag limit on prairie chicken in the East and Northwest units is two, and the daily bag in the Southwest Unit is one. The possession limit on all three upland species is four times the daily bag limit.
A valid Kansas hunting license is required of all residents ages 16 through 64. Nonresidents must purchase a $72.50 nonresident hunting license, except that those nonresidents younger than 16 may purchase a youth nonresident license for $37.50. Anyone born on or after July 1, 1957, must have completed a certified hunter education course, except that youth 15 and younger may hunt under direct adult supervision without hunter education certification. Youth 12 through 15 may hunt without adult supervision if they have completed a certified hunter education course. Anyone 16 or older may purchase a one-time deferral of hunter education, called an "apprentice hunting license," for the same price as a regular hunting license. This license is valid only through the calendar year in which it is purchased, and the holder must be under the direct supervision of a licensed adult 18 or older. A hunting license and hunter education are not required while hunting one's own land.
For complete hunting regulation information, consult the 2011 Kansas Hunting and Furharvesting Regulations Summary, available wherever licenses are sold or online atwww.kdwpt.state.ks.us.

The World
is Heading for a Disaster
I am not talking about climate change, nuclear war, or asteroid strikes.
Greed and Avarice, in this case, are the Weapons of Mass Destruction
Greed and Avarice, in this case, are the Weapons of Mass Destruction
Just short of one year ago I posted a piece that voiced one of my nightmares; that the world was returning to Medieval Feudalism with all the horrors, disease, and ignorance associated with that time returning.
A time when all the power and almost all the wealth was in the control of a handful of emperors, kings, and war-lords, and church leaders. A time of plagues, a time of migrations, a time of famines, a time of wars and uprisings. It's happening again now, a return to a form of Medieval Feudalism - just substitute the super rich, the mega businesses, the financial manipulators, the big stock market players, for Emperors, Kings, and War-Lords.
Here is what I wrote then:
Oxfam have just released
a New Report
62 of the richest people - just a Bus full
Own as much as 3,600,000,000 of the poorest
1% of people own 99% of everything
The Disaster is happening
a New Report
62 of the richest people - just a Bus full
Own as much as 3,600,000,000 of the poorest
1% of people own 99% of everything
The Disaster is happening
Mahatma Gandhi
"Poverty is the worst form of violence"
Mahatma Gandhi
If Mother Nature went seriously awry and some few squirrels were able to take and hide away some tens of thousands of times their normal share of nuts, what do you think might be the outcome?
Thankfully this is not happening in the woods and forests of the world, but it is happening in the human world. The latest reports clearly show that the rich are getting very much richer 44% in 5 years, while the rest of society is getting poorer. What do you think might be the outcome?
Those who take and hide away more than their fair share, are depriving others. Those who take vastly more than their fair share are committing violence against the greater part of the peoples of earth.
My fear is that the deprived, the starving, the under-privileged will rise up and chaos will ensure.
Frederick Douglass
"Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced ...
neither persons nor property will be safe"
Frederick Douglass
The Oxfam Report outlines the GROWING Imbalance.
Growing inequality means that the world's wealthiest 62 people, as many people as would fit on a tour bus, own as much as the poorest half of the entire world population - some 3.6 billion people - according to a new report from Oxfam.
Don't you think the shape of the graph of growing inequality is remarkably like a missile?
It amazes me just how symmetrical both sides of the above graph actually are. It worries and sickens me that the richest 1% of people - which is around 73 million of the world's 7.3 billion people - now own as much as everyone else put together. That is 1% of people own 99% of everything. Too much water behind a dam - and the dam will burst.
This is in a report published ahead of the annual World Economic Forum of global political and business leaders in Swiss ski resort of Davos.
The latest Oxfam report indicates that world-wide imbalance, unfairness, and inequality has reached levels not seen in over 100 years..
Oxfam has calculated that the richest 62 individuals had the same wealth as 3.5 billion people, or the bottom half of humanity.
The wealth of those 62 people has risen 44 percent, or more than half a trillion dollars, over the past five years, while the wealth of the bottom half has fallen by over a trillion.
The Toxic Trend
The saying that "a rising tide lifts all boats" could not be further from the truth in this case. Wealth is being sucked upward at an alarming rate, leaving a massive vacuum at the lower end. Of the generation of wealth in our present day world the Oxfam report says the following: "Far from trickling down, income and wealth are instead being sucked upwards at an alarming rate".
It points to a "global spider's web" of tax havens that ensures wealth stays out of reach of ordinary citizens and governments, a recent estimate puts the figure at $7.6 trillion in private individual wealth held in offshore accounts. The figure is greater than the combined economies of the United Kingdom and Germany.
Some Other Commentators on the Dangers of Inequality
Jyrki Raina, general secretary of IndustriALL Global Union, which represents 50 million workers in 140 countries in the mining,energy and manufacturing sectors. "Inequality is one of the biggest threats to economic well-being and it needs to be addressed."
Edelman's annual published it's "Trust Barometer" which shows that in 2015 there was a record gap in trust between the informed publics and mass populations. This exists in many countries, and is driven by income inequality and divergent expectations of the future. The gap is the largest in the United States, followed by the UK, France and India.
In the last year, trust has declined for three of the four institutions measured. NGOs continue to be the most trusted institution, but trust in NGOs declined from 66 to 63 percent. In 66% of countries surveyed there is not trust in the media. Governments are not trusted in 19 of 27 markets surveyed.
And trust in business is below 50 percent in half of those markets.
In December of 2014 the New York City's police commissioner has reminded us of the roots of crime, and recent acts of civil unrest."This is about the continuing poverty rates, the continuing growing disparity between the wealthy and the poor. It's still about unemployment issues"
I'm depressed and worried.

Brazilian priest investigated for alleged abuse
SAO PAULO (AP) — A Roman Catholic priest is being investigated for allegations of sexual abuse of three young girls in his parish in southeastern Brazil, police said Wednesday.
A police spokeswoman said Father Emilson Soares Correa is under investigation for committing the alleged abuse in Niteroi, a city across Guanabara Bay from Rio de Janeiro. She declined to be identified in accordance with department policy.
The Archdiocese of Niteroi said on its website it was conducting its own investigation and that Correa has been temporarily suspended from his priestly duties.
The spokeswoman said one of the girls, now a 19-year-old woman, claims the abuse started when she was 13.
She told police Correa gave her "expensive gifts and paid for repairs that had to be done in her home," the spokeswoman said.
She said that last year the woman and a 15-year-old friend videotaped a man they said was the priest having sexual intercourse with them. The woman's father gave her the camera to film an encounter and use the tape as evidence, she added.
Part of the video aired by the Globo TV network showed a man identified as the priest naked from the waist up, kissing and embracing the woman and her friend.
The priest's attorney, Roberto Vitagliano, told Globo TV that the woman's father tried to use the tape to "blackmail Correa but when he refused to pay money for it he took it to the police."
The spokeswoman said the father is being investigated for alleged extortion.
Correa is also being investigated for allegedly sexual fondling the woman's now 10-year-old sister three years ago.
"When questioned, he acknowledged he maintained consensual sexual relations with the woman and her 15-year-old friend, but denied he committed any kind of abuse with the 10-year-old girl," the spokeswoman said.

If Everyone Likes The Palm Pre, Why So Much Hedging?
from the I'm-Totally-Sure...Well,-Maybe dept
The Palm Pre launches at Sprint this Saturday, and you've probably been seeing an increasing amount of buzz on the subject [that is a Google search link, and today will show buzz, but if you're reading this later, will be meaningless]. I wrote about the Pre on Techdirt after being very impressed with the phone at CES and MWC Barcelona. I wrote, "I'm not sure when the bandwagon is going to hit the trail for this device, but I'm saddling up right now." And in the intervening months, I've noted that more and more reviewers were, like me, heaping praise on the device. But there was something else: many reviewers couched the endorsement of the Pre with caveats. At the end of every glowing article was a conclusion that seemed out of sync with the review. Here were mine, "I can't predict whether the developer community will rally around the Pre, or whether Sprint and Palm will be successful in selling big volumes, but I want to call this one early: the Pre is a great smartphone." Walt Mossberg at the WSJ wraps up his glowing review with, "All in all, I believe the Pre is a smart, sophisticated product that will have particular appeal for those who want a physical keyboard. It is thoughtfully designed, works well and could give the iPhone and BlackBerry strong competition -- but only if it fixes its app store and can attract third-party developers."
The caveats were reasonable. Developers have limited resources, and collective uncertainty in Palm and Sprint performance has us hedging our bets. Sure, we could assert that the device is great, but we could not be sure if the ecosystem would grow around it. But I think I'm in a better position to do that now. When 98 out of every 100 reviews say the device is great, isn't that one hell of a consensus? I haven't seen that kind of agreement in this industry since AFTER the launch of the iPhone. That's exactly the kind of community consensus that seeds an ecosystem. I officially retract my hedge. What content developer wouldn't be at least attracted to a device that gains such consistently high grades? Is it just hype? No. A landslide of positive reviews from people who actually tested isn't hype - it's straight As. That's good news for Palm, good news for consumers in that we get another competitive device to run alongside the iPhone, but only marginally good news for Sprint. Verizon took the wind out of Sprint's sales [sic] by announcing they, too would carry the Pre by year end, and AT&T is rumored to want a GSM version.

Joe Taglia trimmed more than a tenth of a second off his qualifying time in the 400 freestyle relay, and Adam Sokolowski beat his time by almost a second and a half on the very next leg. Kolton Jankowski trimmed nearly five seconds in the third leg, and Bryan Adie beat his previous time by more than a second.
On Tuesday, March 12, the Blue Knight swim team battled the state's elite in nine events at the Class LL finals. For the first time in three years nobody advanced to the state open, but it wasn't for a lack of effort. Just a few days after setting 12 personal bests at the state qualifying meet, Southington raised the bar in six of their nine races at the finals.
Taglia, Sokolowski, Jankowski, and Adie trimmed their previous effort by more than seven seconds in the final race of the day, and that was the perfect ending for Southington's winter sports season.
"Getting to opens for the third straight year would have been an extra reward, but these kids don't need that to validate the work that they put in this year," said Tuttle. "They know how hard they worked, and it showed."
Adie was the champion for the day. After setting four personal bests at the qualifying meet, Adie repeated the performance at the finals. All three of his relays trimmed times from the qualifying meet, and his performance in the 50 freestyle (22.87) came within three tenths of a second from the state open meet.
"It was great to see the kids perform as well as they did, and I hope that they're as pleased with their performances as I am," said Tuttle. "That's another indicator for the dedication that these kids have to the sport and their desire to improve and strive for greater things. Another trip to opens would have been an added bonus, but it doesn't take away or deplete our season in any way."
How could it take away from the season's efforts? Right from the start, Southington swimmers went down swinging. Right from the start, the Knights shattered previous times.
Ed Klein, Matt Duszak, Vladislav Kiveliyk and Adie eclipsed their previous best in the 200 medley relay by almost three seconds, and their time (1:44.17) came within six hundredths of a second from qualifying for the state opens. Taglia, Jankowski, Kiveliyk, and Adie teamed up to trim almost a second and a half from their previous best in the 200 freestyle (1:32.82).
None of the relays advanced, but all three finished in the middle of the pack at the Class LL competition. Tuttle said that it showed the great strides that Southington has made in recent years.
"I think what's most impressive about this year is the amount of kids that we have performing at such a high level," he said. "Last year and the year before, we were only able to send two relays to opens while our third relay was a long-shot. We essentially had to sacrifice a relay in order to be competitive in two. This year, we were able to go for all three because we have that depth of talent that was lacking in previous years."
Southington advanced more athletes into the finals than they have in more than a decade, and the relays weren't the only ones to shave times from their scores. Kiveliyk trimmed 0.6 seconds off his time in the 100 butterfly (56.14). Klein trimmed more than a second and a half off his previous best in the 100 backstroke (1.52).
With four underclassmen in the lineup, Tuttle said that this was just a sign of things to come. Greenwich (922) beat Fairfield Prep (725) to capture the team title. Staples (387), Amity (377.5), and Ridgefield (302) battled at the next level, and Southington (119) held its own against the rest of the field. The Knights finished 15th overall but were within striking distance of the top eight.
"It's a continuation of our last few years, and hopefully it will continue into the next few years and into the future," said Tuttle. "It's a tradition that we've hopefully established and we'll watch it continue for the years to come. We had some outstanding swimmers and some kids that developed rapidly in our program."
The meet marked the end of the winter campaign. Now, the Knights can turn their attention to spring and off-season workouts. Can next year's team continue the winning trend? Tuttle can't wait to find out.

Seen in the crest is Sigma Chi's motto in Latin inscription, "In hoc signo vinces", which translates to "In this sign you conquer".
Welcome to the website for Willamette University's Delta Zeta chapter of the Sigma Chi international fraternity. We hope that you find our website informative, but if you have any questions, issues, or comments for us, please feel free to Contact Us.
Sigma Chi is one of the largest Greek-letter college fraternities, with 232 undergraduate chapters and 131 alumni chapters. Our Delta Zeta chapter was founded when, after World War II, Willamette men returned to find their former chapter of Sigma Tau condemned. The University offered to allow them living space in the Baxter Complex if they would associate with a nationally recognized fraternity, so they chose Sigma Chi. Our Delta Zeta Chapter was thus chartered on January 4, 1947.

Medicare for Everyone?
According to The Hill, House Democrats are considering re‐branding their new government‐run health insurance program. A "public option" evidently isn't catchy enough. Now they're thinking, "Medicare Part E" as in, Medicare for Everyone.
By all means, model a new government program after Medicare, which:
- Drags down the quality of care for all patients, both publicly and privately insured
- Literally kills people by fueling the epidemic of deaths due to medical errors (as many as 100,000 annually)
- Is responsible for the fragmented delivery system about which the Left complains
- Has required one tax increase every four years, still has an unfunded liability approaching $90 trillion, and will therefore be the driving force behind income‐tax rates essentially doubling by mid‐century
- Has been expanded well beyond its original mission
- Didn't save a single life in (at least) its first 10 years of operation
- Coerces people to choose it over private insurance
- Restricts enrollees' freedom to spend their own money on medical care
- Is easily (and persuasively) parodied as a tool of the devil
Pleeeeease don't throw me into that briar patch.

BALTIMORE – After hosting a rain-shortened Big Dawg Invitational last weekend at UMBC Stadium, the Retriever track and field program heads south on I-95 to compete at the Pepsi Florida Relays in Gainesville, Fla. and the Colonial Relays in Williamsburg, Va. Both meets will run from Friday, April 4 through the evening of Saturday, April 5.
Elite sprinters and throwers will make their way to Florida while the record-breaking distance teams search for more success in Virginia.
Multiple Retrievers turned in victorious and personal record-breaking performances in front of their home fans in Baltimore. Junior Alisha Beeman (Bridgeport, Conn./Bunnell/Hartford) won the high jump for the second-straight meet last weekend, clearing 1.60m (5'3") on her home track. Two weeks ago at the FSU Relays, the junior claimed the school record in the javelin (41.92m; 137'6") and she will try to better that upon her return to the Sunshine State this weekend.
Sophomore Vincent Rentzsch (Oranienburg, Germany/Elite Sportschule Potsdam) will compete in the men's javelin event, looking to build back to NCAA form. Last season, Rentzsch qualified for the national outdoor meet in Oregon with a career-best toss of 70.88m (232'6") and started his year with a heave of 66.09m (216'10") in Tallahassee. He took the top spot in the event both at FSU and last weekend in Baltimore.
Fellow 2013 NCAA participant Mercedes Jackson (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown) travels south with the Retrievers to compete in the 100m and 200m dash events in Florida. The school record holder in both events, Jackson has qualified for the ECAC Championships in May in both races and won the 100m dash last week at UMBC Stadium.
Senior sprinter Dennison Long (Greenbelt, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt/FIU) and hurdler Trae Proctor (Brandywine, Md./Thomas Stone) will also travel to Florida, and are entered respectively in the 100m dash and 110m hurdles. Long opened his season two weeks ago at the FSU Relays with IC4A-worthy times in the 100m (10.57) and 200m (21.09), while Proctor met the IC4A standard in the 110m hurdles (14.14) and was just off of his school record pace of 14.12 at FSU.
The Retriever men's throwing team will be well-represented in Gainesville as seniors Yao Adantor (Laurel, Md./Reservoir/Morgan State/Maryland) and Ray Stinsman III (Mt. Laurel, N.J./Lenape), as well as sophomore Thor Serafenas (Olney, Md./Good Counsel/Clemson) join Rentzsch. Adantor, the school record holder in the shot put (16.60m; 54'5.5") was just off his career-best at FSU (16.59m; 54'5.25") and will compete in the event this weekend. Serafenas and Stinsman, meanwhile, will take to the hammer throw after taking first and third last weekend. Serafenas holds the top Retriever mark in the event (57.26m; 187'10") while Stinsman ranks seventh all-time (50.75m; 166'6").
Junior Paulette Fogle (Washington, D.C./Bishop McNamara), the school record holder in the 400m hurdles, will hit the track in her specialty this weekend. She competed in the event back on March 22 in Tallahassee, finishing ninth with a time of 1:08.30.
In Virginia, the distance crew looks to continue its record-breaking ways after claiming seven combined records during the indoor season.
Senior Andrew Smith (Chadds Ford, Pa./Garnet Valley), who broke the 800m record three times during the indoor season and advanced to the NCAA Championships, will run in the 400m event this weekend in Williamsburg. He currently holds the third-fastest time in school history in the outdoor 800m (1:52.19) and tenth-best outdoor 1,500m time (3:56.29) and will now try to jump onto the 400m list.
Senior Jake Albino (Hampton, N.Y./Minisink Valley) leads a trio of Retrievers in the men's 5,000 event while junior Julie Gessler (Ellicott City, Md./Institute of Notre Dame) will compete in the women's race. Albino recorded a career-best time of 15:01.10 at the FSU relays to jump to sixth in the record book and will look to climb higher this weekend.
In the 10k, sophomore Hassan Omar (Frederick, Md./Thomas Johnson) currently holds the second-fastest time in program history (30:39.70) and will try to capture his third UMBC record after taking over the top mark in the 3k and 5k indoors.
Senior Cody Mezebish (Westminster, Md./South Carroll) and junior Sarah Daly (Lake Orion, Mich./Lake Orion) have both already turned in career-best performances in the 1,500m run this season, claiming third and fourth, respectively, in the school record book. Mezebish clocked in at 4:39.46 during an eighth-place finish at the FSU Relays and Daly was just a shade behind at 4:39.58 last weekend at the Big Dawg Invitational.

Decorating: A Capital Christmas
Lee Entrance Hall at Blair House is decked in a bespoke Christmas décor
- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 11
Deck the halls. And while you're at it, deck the dining room, too, please. That was designer Barry Dixon's holiday charge when he partnered with Traditional Home to decorate the Lee Entrance Hall and Dining Room at Blair House--the president's official guesthouse for foreign heads of state visiting Washington, D.C.
"These hallowed halls have witnessed key moments in American history," says the Virginia-based designer (and holiday decorator extraordinaire). "Reverence for the history of this venerable manse was paramount as we spruced it up for the holidays."
With the help of floral designer Barbara Hamilton, Dixon set about transforming each space into a colorful yet understated, traditional yet unconventional celebration of the season.
Bypassing the standard red-and-green holiday scheme, Dixon instead opted for a chartreuse, jade, cornflower, and silver palette inspired by the restored 18th-century chinoiserie wallpaper in the adjacent Lee Drawing Room. Set against the barely-there blue of the history-rich dining room (President Truman held weekly luncheon meetings with his Cabinet here), the scheme added energy to the space without overlooking its significant genealogy.
"We wanted to be respectful of the history that Blair House emanates and at the same time look fresh and current," Dixon points out. "Even the most elaborate homes can radiate a sense of warmth, approachability, and invitation."
In the dining room (now used for private meetings and meals with Blair House guests), notable furnishings were delicately swathed in holiday flourishes. A diminutive Christmas tree cradled in a silver punch bowl and strewn with Victorian beadwork and antique silver Spanish Arts and Crafts ornaments was placed atop an early-18th-century English chest of drawers. The Chippendale-style dining table was set not only with Blair House china but also with Dixon's own antique Limoges dinner plates in robin's-egg blue--adding a punch of color to the otherwise subdued dinnerware. A garland of cedar and juniper adorned with eucalyptus pods, magnolia leaves, nut clusters, and Hypericum berries framed the carved mantel, highlighting the nontraditional holiday palette.
"It's not the expected holiday formality," Dixon notes. "But it's still rich. And the edible nuts and berries are perfect for the feasting room. It's a bespoke Christmas decor. You simply have to look around your house and find inspiration for your own Christmas scheme."

The orange and green palette of the Lee Entrance Hall is carried over to the garland on the stairway banister.
A traditional cedar garland is given an update with persimmons and oranges embellished with cloves.
Table settings were inspired by the Blair House Chinese export porcelain and blue-and-white needlepoint chair seats.
Instead of a floral centerpiece, Dixon filled a large bowl with art glass ornaments nestled in magnolia leaves.

An overscale wreath is dotted with edible treats--apples, lemons, and nuts--as well as Hypericum berries and osage oranges.

dbphp needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 32 designs submitted by 17 freelance designers.
This logo shall relate to acupuncture when looked at! I will be used on the web but also as logo in an application.
Distal Akupunktur
Desired Color Scheme:
Your choise, feel free
Desired Style:
PROFESSIONAL nice look, maybe glossy
Accepted File Formats:
Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
Please check:
Need a logo like one of these but more realistic or as silhouet, lines - the choise is yours! Also need details underneath. When looking at logo you should not be able to see that the logo is created from the pic above (link).
Patients are sitting in recliner with bare skin on arms (from elbow to fingertips) and on legs (knee to toes) when they are treated with acupuncture.
This is for a community clinic so many patients are in the room at the same time (all sitting in recliners) so there could be more than 1 person on logo.
The word Distal Akupunktur has to be part of logo.
If recliner creates a problem then post a logo without it. Even better would be a logo with and without.
Should be made as a illustrator file.
All ideas are welcome.
Let's get creative.
Thanks :o)

From the east, travel west on Utah 12 to the intersection of Utah 63. Turn south (left) to reach the park entrance.
Park Fees & Rates Bryce Canyon
Entrance fees
Passenger cars are charged $20 per 7-day visit
Bryce Canyon Campsites
$10 per site per night. (Golden Age and Golden Access Passport holders receive a 50% discount.) Backcountry permits are $5
Commercial Tours
Commercial tours are charged according to seating capacity as follows: $25 plus $5 per passenger for 1-6 seats; $50 for 7-15 seats; $60 for 16-25 seats; and $150 for 26 or more seats.
Golden Age & Eagle
($50 annual fee) ($10 one time fee) Passports are available at the park Entrance Station and are honored for occupants of noncommercial vehicles. Golden Access Passports are issued at the park visitor center.
Facilities and Opportunities In Bryce Canyon
Visitor Center/Exhibits: The park visitor center is open year round except Thanksgiving Day, December 25, and January 1. A ten-minute slide program, exhibits, restrooms, information, and backcountry permits are available here. In addition, maps and other publications are available for purchase through Bryce Canyon Natural History Association.
Trails, Roads: The 18-mile main park road winds along the edge of the plateau, terminating at the south end of the park. Return to the entrance via the same road. Spur roads and pullouts offer opportunities for viewing and trailhead parking. Park speed limits range from 25 to 35 mph and are strictly enforced.
In summer, parking at most viewpoints is extremely congested. Your best chance of finding a parking space at Sunrise, Sunset, Inspiration, Bryce, and Paria Viewpoints is before 10:00 a.m. and after 5:00 p.m.
Because all of Bryce Canyon's viewpoints are east of the main park road, we recommend that you drive the 18-mile road to the southern end of the park, start with Rainbow Point, then stop at the remaining viewpoints on your way back to the park entrance. This will help you to avoid making left turns in front of oncoming traffic.
Special Concerns:
Due to steep grades and limited parking, trailers are not allowed beyond Sunset Campground. Campers should leave trailers at their campsite. Day visitors should leave trailers at their overnight campground, at Ruby's Inn free shuttle parking area just outside the park, at the park visitor center or at the trailer turn-around south of Sunset Campground.
No vehicles over 25 feet in length are allowed at Paria View where the parking area is too small for large vehicles to turn around.
Marked bus parking spaces are available at all parking lots which can accommodate buses. Bus engines should be turned off while parked. Motorhomes and trailers are not permitted in spaces designated for buses.
The park has over 50 miles of hiking trails with a range of distances and elevation change. Assess your ability and know your limits. Use caution if unaccustomed to the high altitude.
Ranger Programs and Activities In Bryce Canyon
Park rangers and volunteers conduct interpretive activities, including hikes, walks, geology talks and evening slide programs from late spring through early fall. Check at the park visitor center or Bryce Canyon Lodge for daily schedules.
Junior Ranger Program:
The Junior Ranger Program offers children ages 12 and under the opportunity to learn more about the park. Although the program is designed as an independent learning experience in an effort to accommodate individual family schedules, one important requirement is that the kids attend a ranger-guided activity. Recommended minimum time needed for completion of the program is approximately one full day. When kids fulfill their requirements, they can bring their completed booklets to the park visitor center and receive a Junior Ranger certificate. In addition, a special patch is available for $1.
Volunteers in Parks (VIPs):
Each year at Bryce Canyon, volunteers donate more than 10,000 hours of service–over 10% of the park's workforce. VIPs help staff information desks, serve as campground hosts, patrol trails, build fences, work with computers, conduct wildlife surveys, take photographs, and more.
Currently the park is seeking volunteer applications for a winter/spring Museum Tech position. Call 435/834-4412 or visit the Volunteers In Parks Job Opportunities page of the NPS ParkNet website www.nps.gov/volunteer/jobs for a position description and on-line application.
To learn about other volunteer opportunities at Bryce Canyon, ask for an information packet at the visitor center or write to:
Superintendent, Bryce Canyon National Park,
P.O. Box 170001,
Bryce Canyon, UT 84717-0001.
Food & Supplies In Bryce Canyon
Amfac Parks and Resorts, Inc. operates a dining room in the Bryce Canyon Lodge, as well as a general store at Sunrise Point. Groceries, souvenirs, camping supplies, quick meals, restrooms, coin-operated showers and laundry facilities are available at the store from April through October.
Private stores in the immediate area are open all year for food, supplies and other services.
Other Concessions/NPs-Managed Visitor Facilities and Opportunities:
In spring, summer and fall, wranglers lead horseback rides into Bryce Amphitheater along a dedicated horse trail as well as on the Peekaboo Loop Trail. Write to Canyon Trail Rides, PO Box 128, Tropic, UT 84776, or call 435/679-8665 or 435/834-5500 for information and reservations.
Accesibility of Bryce Canyon
Most park facilities were constructed between 1930 and 1960. Some have been upgraded for accessibility, while others could be used with assistance.
Because of the park's natural terrain, only a half-mile section of Rim Trail between Sunset and Sunrise Points is wheelchair accessible. The one-mile Bristlecone Loop Trail at Rainbow Point has a hard surface and could be used with assistance, but several grades do not meet standards.
Parking is marked at all overlooks and public facilities. Accessible campsites are available in Sunset Campground.
Recommended Activities / Park Use
Sight-seeing, hiking, camping, backpacking, photography, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, snow-shoeing, bird watching and other wildlife observation, star gazing, contemplation, relaxation.
Basic Visit Recommendations:
Plan to spend from one to several days depending on your personal interests. Because of the wide variety of recreational opportunities on nearby private, state and other federal lands, you can easily plan an extended vacation in this area.
With a short time to spend in the park:
Stop at the Visitor Center for information, exhibits, and a ten-minute slide program. Publications and maps are available for purchase.
Drive to Sunrise, Sunset, Inspiration and Bryce viewpoints.
Hike a canyon trail or stroll along the rim. Check at the Visitor Center for current trail conditions.
Lunch at one of the designated picnic areas.
With one or more days to spend in the park (in addition to the above):
Drive to Rainbow Point (18 miles one way) and stop at the 13 viewpoints on your return trip. Check at the Visitor Center for current road conditions and closures.
Attend a ranger-guided activity (available during summer months).
Snowshoe or cross-country ski a designated trail on the plateau top. Rental equipment is available outside the park.

As best as I can tell, life is intolerable. Oh, not always of course. A case can be made for all the big wonders and little blessings and blah, blah, blah. But when you really boil it down, our entire existence rests on a few really ugly premises. First, life, and by that I mean the big life, life with a capital L, must ingest other life in order for it to remain life. Or, put another way, in order to witness the miracle of creation, we must continually eat, and then poop out, a little bit of that miracle. Second, one of the charming side effects of sentient life is emotional pain. The fact that dead and fermenting plant life creates alcohol - a terrific anesthetic for emotional pain - might cause one to think that this is, by nature, a compassionate universe. Think again. Keep dulling that pain with booze and you wind up, if you're lucky, in a church basement sharing your tears with complete strangers. If you're not lucky, you wind up on a waiting list for a motorcyclist's liver. And finally, there is the ever-present knowledge of death. In order to "more fully appreciate the gift of life," we all get to ponder a violently sudden or slow and agonizingly painful descent into oblivion -- after which our beloved bodies turn into the stuff of nightmares. Which brings me back to my original premise: life is intolerable. But rather than go gently into that creepy night, I've decided to start a petition to protest the fundamental conditions of existence. I know it's not much, but it's a start. And damnit, I'm just the guy to do it! The petition is available at chucklorre.com. Sign on now and make your voice heard before you're dead and your vocal chords are being eaten by a swarm of disgusting bugs.

Due to work rules, I have to go to the doctor today and get a note excusing me from work for having the plague. On the upside, there's no chest congestion, which is yay, as I have been a totally paranoid person and spending a lot of time coughing as much as possible to test this. For anyone who has had pneumonia and the doctor gave you a torture device to breathe with and then cough copiously, you remember this horror, but it's not nearly that bad. On the downside, head congestion is like walking around with lead sewn into my cheekbones and head and a headache that is like an analogy for the hugeness of the Titanic--or perhaps Australia?--and I have no intention of actually thinking up an adequate analogy so just deal.
So. Being miserable and sick, I want attention and basically, I will take it any way I can get it. Snippet below cut. It's a dumb snippet. But I am sick and it made me laugh myself into easy coughing fits to imagine it, so there you go. Dedicated to shinetheway for her life-saving porn ficlets. This is not porn. Which you will see, is the entire problem.
by Seperis
Merlin's found, over time, that there's a relatively predictable pattern to Arthur's bad days, and all of them start with special, deeply familial midday meals with Uther and Morgana. Merlin doesn't even need to guess anymore; when the kitchen tells him they are setting three plates and they don't have visiting courtiers, Merlin knows he's doomed and plans accordingly.
Which is why he's ready, more or less, when he's summoned to Arthur's chambers at nearly midnight, because after the joy that was their afternoon together (fell off horse, fell over due to sword, fell down the stairs carrying armor; basically, Arthur's bad days are also Merlin's bruised days), their evening (he didn't have to duck a thrown dagger or a bottle of ale, but that's about all he can say for it), Arthur won't hesitate to let him escape any more prince/manservant bonding time for anything as ridiculous as sleep.
Merlin reserves the right to be an ass about it, though, pushing open the door and staring resentfully at Arthur, who is camped out in front of the hearth in nothing but his unlaced shirt and trousers, with three skins of wine and a wide, brilliant smile.
Predictable, yes. Merlin closes the door. "I'm not that funny when I'm drunk."
Arthur grins at him winningly. "Yes, you really are."
This is how it goes wrong. Arthur blames society.
"Oh my God," Morgana says, and Arthur lifts his head and regards with no favor the swell of her chest only a few inches above his face. Morgana is not to be faced before breakfast. Or ever, really. "Arthur!"
Arthur reaches for a pillow and finds something terribly un-pillow-like. In fact, it feels a great deal like skin.
"I had--" Morgana, for a wonder, turns a hideous shade of red, backing up a step and actually stumbling. "How long?"
The skin-covered pillow moans and says, "Please, sire, next time, I'll do it without wine, I swear," and Arthur thinks Merlin and wine and fuck as Merlin rolls over and collapses across his back. Swallowing, Arthur tries to decide between vomiting and going back to sleep in hopes this is all a bad dream.
Hope wins. "Later, Morgana," Arthur manages with dignity intact, reaching for an (actual) pillow and covering his head, while Merlin's breath puffs against the back of his neck and he says, "Yes, later. Very sore now."
This cannot end well.
Merlin wakes up to Arthur sitting up (naked) and staring at the floor (he's naked) with an expression somewhere between epic homicide and hilarity (while naked). This is never what anyone sane calls a good sign; Arthur lacks a reasonable sense of humor and finds the oddest and most inappropriate things amusing.
(But naked and Merlin admits, to himself if no one else, his own patience with Arthur grows in inverse proportion to how much he's wearing. Merlin's agreed to many terrifying things when Arthur's bathing. Many things.)
"Sire?" he starts, then realizes that the sheets feel so very good against his naked skin because he's naked as well. Closing his eyes, Merlin reaches for a pillow and covers his head. "Later?"
Arthur drops back on the bed beside him and nearly crawls under him with a sigh. "Yes, please."
Here's what they know: they did not have sex. But no one will ever believe it.
"Merlin, you can't stay in here forever," Arthur argues, though his heart's not in it. Staring at the sun (well above the horizon, which will only add to the entire horror), Arthur stares hatefully at the wineskins and thinks of horrible purges of winesellers throughout the world for their foul discovery of what happens when grapes sit too long in large casks.
"I'm not going out there again," Merlin states, stealing half of Arthur's very late breakfast with the shell-shocked look of someone who was questioned gently about consent and willingness by Morgana for an entire hour in the dining hall and then even more gently questioned by Gaius on whether Arthur had been--had been-- "I can't face another inquiry on my virtue, Arthur. It's not happening. It's not."
Arthur sighs and picks at the bread and cheese and says, "Gaius asked me if I was gentle," Arthur says, staring at the wall. "After you ran away. And if there was bleeding."
Merlin says, "Why isn't there a purge of winesellers?"
"They're next."
Merlin drops his head on the table. "No one will ever believe us. Ever."
Arthur picks up a knife and wonders if falling on it would be such a bad idea. "My father did compliment me on the efficiency of using my staff for dual purposes," Arthur says, and this time, he doesn't even feel like crying. "One who cannot get pregnant."
Merlin lifts his head miserably. "Gwen complimented me on bagging a prince."
Arthur nods thoughtfully. "More wine?"
Merlin nods gratefully. "Please, yes."
Which is how the entire rumor started. How it became true...well, that's a different story entirely.
shinetheway and I are snippeting here on what happens next. Feel free to add if you wish. And no, this is not a desperate and transparent plea for entertainment for the afternoon. Except you know, it totally is.
