Australian Sevens and former Brumbies outside back Ed Stubbs will join a completely revamped Western Force backline for the 2013 and 2014 Super Rugby seasons.
Stubbs joins the Perth-based franchise after spending three years as a regular with the Sevens side, and made three appearances for the Brumbies during the 2010 Super Rugby season.
The new-look Western Force backline has received a wholesale makeover with 11 players that represented the side last season not returning for 2013.
In their place, Stubbs is one of six new faces, including former All Black scrum-half Alby Mathewson, former Cheetahs fly-half Sias Ebersohn, Wallabies utility back Sam Norton-Knight, Australian Sevens outside back Solomoni Rasolea and blockbusting former League inside centre Chris Tuatara-Morrison.
The Western Force forward pack - long regarded as a strength of the side - has been boosted by the inclusion of former Waratahs flanker Chris Alcock with a final place in the forwards yet to be confirmed.
The Force has one 'backs' position still available within its senior playing roster and may still utilise one of its foreign developing player contracts.
David Harvey, Jordan Rapana and Rory Sidey have been released from their contracts with the Western Force for 2013.
Head coach Michael Foley says the new additions for 2013 will complement the existing players within the squad.
"While the Force has developed a strong forward pack, we identified the backline is an area for improvement," he said.
"Last year we didn't do enough with the possession we'd secured and the focus for the future will be to develop that as a strength for the team.
"This is a back division with potential and they'll benefit significantly from working under the tutelage of Steve Meehan.
"While players like Nick Cummins, Alfie Mafi and Brett Sheehan will remain, we've injected some outstanding up-and-coming talent in the way of Sias Ebersohn, Chris Tuatara-Morrison, Ed Stubbs and Junior Rasolea, coupled with the experienced heads of Mathewson and Norton-Knight."

Truthfully anytime of the year is a good time to visit Barcelona, but during summer the city undergoes a dramatic change. The local residents seem to take their foot of the accelerator and Barcelona really slows down, a welcome change from the normal fast pace. As a long term resident I'm going to give you 10 reasons why you should visit Barcelona in the summer.
We have a winner! Do you want to know who the lucky winner of our "Pack Your Bags" competition is? If you do, keep reading!
Formula 1 and the Barcelona International Motor show set to convert Barcelona into the motoring capital of the world for one week in May. The latest automotive designs and tendencies will be on display at the Fira de Montjuic Exhibition Centre from the 11th to the 19th of May whilst only a few miles away the world's fastest cars being driven by the world'd best drivers will be fighting for points in the Spanish Grand Prix from the 10th-12th of May 2013.
Who would you take to a deserted island? And a weekend in Barcelona, Berlin or Istanbul? Make up your mind because with our new promotion you can take three friends with you on holiday without hiding them in your suitcase.
Whatever the result between Barcelona and Bayern Munich in the first leg of their semi-final clash of the Champions League 2013, the return leg in the Nou Camp on the 1st of May promises to be a passionate affair with both teams vying for a place in the Champions League Final in Wembley on the 25th of May.
During St Jordi in Barcelona, books and roses take to the streets and the city gets dressed for the occasion, La Rambla, Passeig de Gracia, Plaza Catalunya, Plaza St. Jaume and many other emblematic streets in Barcelona fill with Catalan flags, stalls selling books and roses and people soaking up the atmosphere of this very special day.
Twenty years ago three friends decided to organise an electronic and experimental music festival, today this festival has become the premier electronic music event in the world, attracting the biggest names in the electronic and experimental music scene over 90,000 electronic music lovers .Sonar 2013 will be the 13, 14 and 15 of June.
We have a winner! Congratulations to Jose Santana Garcia who has won an official Barça or Real Madrid shirt after correctly picking Real Madrid as winner of the Copa del Rey semi-final between Barça and Madrid.
There was a lot of hype surrounding the match as too how much Barcelona were going to defeat Milan by in the opening match of their Champions league final-16 match up, however it was Milan who denied Barcelona with a superb defensive display and ran out eventual winners 2-0. Barcelona have a lot to do in the return leg of the final 16 match up between Barcelona and Milan to be played in the Nou Camp on the 12th of March if they want to make it into the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
With less than a week to go before the second semi-final of the Copa del Rey between Barcelona and Madrid, Friendly Rentals are giving you the chance to win a Barça or Madrid Shirt. All you have to do is enter our competition on Facebook and choose who you think is going to win this clash between the world's two best teams. The second semi-final will be played in the Nou Camp on the 26th of February.
In the past Jewish visitors to Barcelona had a problem finding food which met the strict kosher guidelines however in recent times this has changed and today there are several restaurants and supermarkets offering the local Jewish community and visitors the opportunity to enjoy delicious Mediterranean and Traditional kosher cuisine right in the heart of Barcelona.
Neither Messi or Ronaldo were match deciders in the first leg of the Copa del Rey 2013 semi final, that honour belonged to young French defender Raphael Varane. A late inclusion into the Real Madrid squad to cover the absence of Pepe and Ramos in defence, he capped an impressive performance leaping between Puyol and Fabregas to head the ball into the back of the net equalising Fabregas's opener. Barcelona will go into the decider with an away goal; Madrid will feel that they too can sneak in an away goal in the return leg of the Copa del Rey 2013 to played in Camp Nou on Wednesday 27th of February. Which of these teams will make it into the final?

The program should run in batch mode to resize all files in a folder and then save new files to different folder. An option for setting jpg quality would be great, too.
I'm a little surprised that no one has mentioned the easiest, cheapest, and least technical option: AutomatorFirst, open Automator, which is in your Applications folder. Next, choose to create a new workflow: Next, add the following steps to the workflow by dragging and dropping: When you run this, Automator is going to:
(The "show this action when the workflow runs" checkbox means that the workflow is going to pause, display the option, and allow you to change it then) Once you do that, Automator is going to churn and burn, and when it's done it'll beep at you. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have an option to choose JPEG quality. However, for the price (free), it's pretty dang convenient. |
You could also use
A better option might be to use ImageMagick, which can be installed with Homebrew or MacPorts.
If the filter is not specified, it currently defaults to The option for JPG quality has a fairly high slope. Depending on the size of the images and the amount of detail in them, I made a visual comparison of the different options: http://f.cl.ly/items/3W290e221m3w1b3x1A0H/downsampling%20test.png (WMD seems to convert large png images to jpg). |
If You don't mind using the terminal ImageMagick might be a good solution (can be installed with MacPorts). |
We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer: please explain why you're recommending it as a solution. Answers that don't explain anything will be deleted. See Good Subjective, Bad Subjective for more information. |
Several people have mentioned ImageMagick. Here is a recipe: For simplicity, assume all the files are in one folder (and the folder contains nothing else). Open a terminal window, cd into this folder, then run
where you replace the 800x600 by whatever size you want. Advantages include a great amount of flexibility in ImageMagick's Disadvantages are the obvious ones: It requires a certain familiarity with the command line, plus a willingness to plough through the command line options of |
I second GraphicConverter. I've been a registered user for 16 years. Its main purpose is batch-processing image editing, and it has a good user interface for designing custom workflows and saving them. You can also use it in conjunction with Automator, but you probably won't need to. Here is some information from GraphicConverter's page explaining their batch processing image editing functions. |
This is yet another simple, clean and effective batch image resize script. If you are dealing with graphics and different resolutions a lot, you can use this script and save it with different values for occasional uses. Do so, by changing this Open Script Editor, and create the following new script:
original source |
The best for this.. |
Preview is certainly a good solution for some occasional resizing. There are also other nice free options, such as ImageMagic (command-line utility), Preview or something else plus Automator, etc. However, if this is a part of your job and you need a true flexibility, a special-purpose application will save you a lot of time, and offer much more opportunities. Many users chose our batch image resizer Resize Sense (http://veprit.com/resizesense) for its outstanding flexibility and convenience. Disclaimer: I am the developer. You better judge Resize Sense yourself. The introductory video on the product website will tell you exactly what is so special in Resize Sense. There is a free demo version. |
I usually import all of the pictures into iPhoto and then export them to the different sizes. I have done it on batches of 300 or so images, but never on the scale you are wanting. Still, it may be an option. |
No one has mentioned Apple Aperture. While by no means the cheapest, it comes with a lot of other things that you may find useful. It basically replaces iPhoto and then some. It does 95% of what photographers commonly use Photoshop for. (It won't do flaming text. :-) But unless you need the other things Aperture gives you, I second both the ImageMagick approach -- if you're not intimidated by downloading, installing, and running command-line programs, and the Automator approach, which despite @markhunte's claim, is free. |
I use wine (and XQuartz) and IrfanView. Of course you could also use imagemagick from the command-line. For wine and imagemagick I would recommend Homebrew. |

Hampshire County Council, in partnership with the Big Lottery funded Learning at the Centre Project at Basingstoke Discovery Centre, have been working with people who have communication difficulties to create a training film to help staff and others to communicate more confidently with people who find speech challenging.
This small group, supported by staff from the Learning at the Centre Project, Hampshire Learning Centre and Adult Services, wrote and made a short film whose key message is to "have patience and listen".
The film is sometimes challenging to watch as there are no sub-titles, but people do not speak in subtitles - patience and listening carefully with respect will provide the answers.
The film will be used as a training aid by Hampshire County Council, but with the agreement of the group who made the film it is freely available to all organisations and individuals, particularly those who come into everyday contact with people who sometimes struggle to be heard and get their point across.
The film was supported by the Learning at the Centre Project as a development opportunity for Project participants.

September 29 – Happy Birthday Mike McCormick
On September 19, 1970 in an afternoon game at Tiger Stadium in front of fewer than 9,000 fans, Yankee Manager Ralph Houk inserted veteran lefthander Mike McCormick in the game to pitch the bottom half of the seventh inning with the Yankees trailing by three runs. McCormick held the Tigers scoreless in the seventh but gave up a home run to backup catcher Jim Price in the eighth inning. In the Yankee half of the ninth New York scored five runs on five singles a walk and a wild pitch, to take a 7-6 lead. Jack Aker pitched a scoreless bottom of the ninth and in the process saved Mike McCormick's 134th and final big league victory. McCormick had joined New York's pitching staff in July of that season when the Yankees traded pitcher John Cumberland to the Giants in exchange for the 1967 NL Cy Young Award winner. In his first start with his new team, Mike lasted seven innings and beat the Angels, but he'd been roughed up as both a starter and reliever in each subsequent appearance. The Yankees ended up releasing the Pasadena, CA native in spring training the following year and after trying to hang on with the Royals, McCormick ended his very good 16-season big league career.
He may have had a lot more than those two wins in pinstripes if the Yankees were inclined to pay bonuses back when Mike was a high school pitching sensation in the early fifties. New York's arrogant front office felt it was a privilege for any young man to even be offered a contract to play for their organization so they refused to offer signing bonuses. The New York Giants were the only team to offer McCormick one, in the amount of $50,000 and the youngster grabbed it. In addition to the Giants, Yankees and Royals, Mike also pitched for Baltimore and the Senators during his career.
McCormick shares his September 29th birthday with this former Yankee outfielder and this one-time Yankee pitcher.

House Bill 485 passed Wednesday with no debate. The only "no" vote came from Democratic Sen. Derrick Simmons of Greenville, who said the names and addresses of state-issued permit holders should remain available to the public.
A Senate committee added the provision about a court order. The bill returns to the House, which can either accept the change and send it to the governor, or seek negotiations on a final version.
Gov. Phil Bryant's office says the Department of Public Safety has received two recent requests for concealed-carry information, one from a newspaper and another from a blogger.

{a New layout!}
I may or may not already have our valentine decor up ;) I have a new layout too, not really for Valentine's day, but it does have hearts & arrows!
Along with the cute pics of my hubby, circa 1976, I used the January add-on kit from The Paper Bakery. I did a little splattering with a bit of red & white paint, a little fussy cutting with some of the papers and a little stitching with embroidery floss. From there it was all layering. Another quick and easy layout to add to the family album.
As always, thanks for stopping by!

~Jenn~ Mom to Ethan - my heart surgery survivor - born 6/29/09
thanks! I guess the wait is on for more August babies!

Expecting Baby #3! 8/7/13
I just tested this morning and got a bfp! So it looks like I will be in here as well! Right now I'm trying to come up with a cute way to tell DH (who is out of town) that we are expecting a little surprise
woohoo! congrats!
Me (Stefanie) + DH = Colin (3) & Jackson (2)
Expecting Baby #3! 8/7/13
Do you know how to get the sticky threads to re-set?
not a clue, sorry.

I did! I went to the store and bought a few bottles of non alcoholic wine. We had just gone wine tasting the other day and he bought a case of wine. So I replaced a few of the bottles in the case with the non alcoholic stuff and brought the case in the kitchen and asked him to put the bottles on the wine rack. He got home while I was at the store, and as I walked in the door he asked me if I bought a pregnancy test and if I was pregnant! I couldn't believe he'd been thinking about it all weekend! I told him no I didn't buy a test while I was at the store. He started unloading the wine and asked what the NA stuff was for, and I said me. He just looked at me and said really? Show me the test. He took it so well, he was very happy and excited. He did sit down and had a beer after I told him
Erica, how are you and your family? The girls are adorable! I always think about you this time of year.

I'm here! I was a July 2007 mommy on APA! The women on here are the best!
I'm due 8/1/13 with #2. my DD is 5 and will turn 6 only days before little bean is due!
I haven't been on APA for a bit here so I'm just now seeing this.
Sounds like a fun way to tell your DH and glad to hear he had a great reaction. I wish you the best with your pregnancy.
The girls are great - Abbie is in Kindergarten and is so loving school and is doing very well. I'm scrambling to get ready for Natalie's Bday party - can't believe she's going to be one already. It is so cute to see them play together and see how much Natalie's face lights up when she sees Abbie. But at the same time it can be hard b/c it reminds me of how their brother isn't there to grow up with them. I think about Tyler every single day and miss him a ton but I know that's never going to change - I just have to get through as best as I can and some days are easier than others. Thanks for asking .
Hey everyone! After ttc for 5 months I just got my BFP this past Wednesday!! I haven't been to my obgyn yet but I'm assuming I'm about 4-5 weeks and due date would be around august 13th!
Congratulations and welcome!
Hello! I am having an August baby. A blood test confirmed on the 30th November and I am due 9th August according to an online calculator. Have my first u/s on the 21st!
I look forward to seeing more August mommies here with us!

Sharks wait on Bismarck
10 Apr 2012
Bismarck du Plessis may be available to start in the Sharks' final tour match against the Blues.
Coach John Plumtree has confirmed that the Springbok hooker ran with the team on Tuesday at training. Du Plessis picked up a thigh injury in the win over the Brumbies and only featured from the bench in last week's encounter with the Hurricanes. It is still not known for certain whether he will start this weekend.
'Bismarck trained today [Tuesday] and we're certainly hoping he will be available, so we'll see how he gets through training and make a decision later in the week,' Plumtree said.
Flyhalf Pat Lambie could also be available for this must-win clash. However, centre Tim Whitehead (groin) and flank Marcell Coetzee (shoulder) are reportedly struggling with injuries.

10 Apr 2012, 09:57 amHow rotten were the Sharks? Even the Blues will beat them this weekend!
10 Apr 2012, 10:08 amThey going to need more than him to win!! Maybe Chuck Norris is available?
10 Apr 2012, 10:16 amJust as The Sharks start to get their midfield in order the forwards go to pieces.
10 Apr 2012, 10:52 amI think that Burden had a great game last weekend.
Against the Blues they might want to keep him in the starting lineup.
10 Apr 2012, 11:03 amThe Blues will be targeting the channel between Freddie and Charl again (not if Lambie comes back though) as the Hurricanes did to good effect and The Sharks will be having to run back to cover tackles all day long.
One wonders if the coach has picked up on this yet.
10 Apr 2012, 11:04 am@stormersboy(stormersboy)-4: Agreed.
10 Apr 2012, 11:05 ambye bye sharks…
10 Apr 2012, 11:08 amSpeculation: Hargreaves to sign a 2-year deal with the London club and will leave the Sharks at the end of June.
10 Apr 2012, 11:10 am@Transformation(Transformation)-8: Sarrues
10 Apr 2012, 11:37 amTransie lets hope its true!!
10 Apr 2012, 17:41 pmI think the Sharks are sending Bismark home! Not looking good for the Sharks.
10 Apr 2012, 17:42 pmAlso not looking good with Whitehead!
11 Apr 2012, 04:17 amCan't be very fun for Bismarck to have the whole of the Sharks camp waiting on him. Must be very heavy. No wonder he is injured
11 Apr 2012, 04:44 am@houston, we have a problem…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-7: Wow you really hate the Sharks don't you mate. Did one of the Sharks players or a Sharks fan sleep with your woman or something? Seems to be a serious vendetta. I don't particularly like the Stormers very much but I give them credit where its due but I never delighted in their demise unlike you.
What a lot of brainless cretins on here who think they're rugby geniuses don't seem to realise is that only one SA team doing well in the S15 harms SA in the long-run. Nobody is asking the right questions. Are foreign coaches like Plumtree and Mitchell actually helping rugby in SA or are they in actual fact doing it more harm? Only Mitchell seems to have got the Lions playing a more expansive approach but their defensive is hondkak. While the Sharks have been steadily going down hill since that big-eared Kiwi domkop took over. We went from 2007 runners up (by a whisker) to perennial underdogs. Its just not good enough. Plum must resign at the end of this season and make way for Nick Mallett. Plum has destroyed the Sharks and turned them into a bunch of schoolboys. The blame should purely lay at his feet. This whole personal vendetta against individual players must stop. The buck starts and stops with the coaching staff.
11 Apr 2012, 05:27 amIts embarrassing to think the Sharks are pretty much the worst team in the comp. Plumtree is the most useless coach around. Canes were ripe for the picking after a demoralising loss to the Cheetahs. Can we not just leave Plum in NZ. Does he really have to come back to SA? I'll be glad to see the back of him at the end of this season. I regard him as poor as PdV. Zero rugby pedigree. Nothing but a forward's coach who knows sweet FA about organising a backline. Also he has v tiny ballas because he's always too scared to take bit of a risk and pick promising youngsters like Jordaan and Sithole. He always goes for his safe choices based on "experience" but very average skills ala Ndungane. I think Coenie Oesthuizen has more pace than Odwa. Its pretty obvious to me that Plum doesn't know how to assemble a balanced squad. Instead he is always trying to plug the gaps. He's had 4 years in charge and we are still nowhere and our team is still makeshift as they come. Its pathetic. Plum definitely doesn't pay credence to the myth surrounding Kiwi coaches. Perhaps he's just spent far too long in SA because even these days the pinkie tip Bulls who've traditionally been the bash em up merchants in SA are playing more intelligent rugby than the Sharks. Time for Plum to sling his hook and retire. He's proven that he's not a S15 coach.
11 Apr 2012, 08:41 am@Sydney Shark(JayDaFiveOh)-15:
That's why some good players have had to leave The Sharks for other franchises. Plumtree has overlooked so many youngsters and stuck with slow average players like Terblanche and company.
Why he keeps Jannie du Plessis around is beyond me. Jannie has always been very average to poor and gives away penalties in almost every game. Jacques Botes is a rare talent and works at 110% in every game but the poor oke hardly ever starts a game. He probably makes more line breaks than most of the centres. Botes could be a brilliant fetcher if he had been given the right coaching but his talents are wasted in this team.
11 Apr 2012, 10:57 am@White Shark(Predawn)-16: Unbelievable that you don't have a fetcher in the starting line-up!! How can any coach worth his salt not have a starting fetcher starting every match is beyond me!! So remedial it hurts. In the modern game its essential. And if your starting fetcher just isn't up to scratch then find another specialist fetcher!!
Plum is dof dof dof!! I've had enough of him. He has the rugby nous of PdV and he's meant to be a forward's coach?!! GIVE ME STRENGTH!!! You should be basing your whole forwards strategy around the fetcher. This is why the Sharks get hammered at the breakdown every time because we have no-one scraping for the ball and then we literally live off scraps. Get Plum out now. The guy has no idea what he's doing. Blows the whole Kiwi aura thing out of the water.

Cleveland State 69, Ball State 63: Vikings hustle for road victory
MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) — Bryn Forbes scored 18 points and Cleveland State beat Ball State, 69-63, on Wednesday night.
Forbes was 4 of 8 from 3-point range.
Charlie Lee had 16 points and six assists. Devon Long added 10 points. Tim Kamczyc and Mason Marlin had eight rebounds and seven points apiece.
Ball State shot 40 percent from the field for the game and led, 34-30, at halftime. The Vikings (5-2) shot just 37.9 percent in each half. But they made 17 points off turnovers and had 19 second-chance points, as compared to 11 and six for Ball State.
Jesse Berry scored 28 points for Ball State. Chris Bond added 12. Majok Majok had eight rebounds.
The loss gives the Cardinals (2-3) a three-game losing streak.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- If you've seen the ropes course at Destiny USA, it can be a bit intimidating, but imagine doing it blindfolded.
That's exactly what a group of people and a few employees did Monday night to raise awareness about blindness.
Erin Scala has Retinitis Pigmentosa. It's an eye disease that causes damage to the retina. She can only see light and dark.
Scala organized the ropes course gathering to prove that people with sight and without sight can do the same things.
"I think it's important for everyone to know blind people can have a job. Blind people can roller blade. They can run and swim and do everything else. Their eyes just don't work. We might go about it differently, might be a little more of an obstacle. But no matter what, we'll get through it and succeed," Scala said. Scala is a self proclaimed adventure seeker. She snowboards, runs, bikes and swims.

Set in a post-apocalyptic world 150-200 years from the present day, Fallen Earth is a dark, modern-horror MMOG that takes place in the American southwest. Specifically set in and around the Grand Canyon, players will adventure out into the desolate wasteland armed with whatever they can find - shovels, rebar, baseball bats, or guns. Gamers will be able to align themselves with particular factions and even wage PvP warfare against opposing alignments.
Fallen Earth is a game that is being built from the ground up to revolve around a skill-based advancement system rather than the standard class-based systems. Every action you take in the game will have a correlating skill, which will advance as you use it. Along with your skills, items will also play a major importance and each object you pick up and use will have varying statistics of its own. On top of that, gamers will also be using a targeting reticule instead of a standard auto-attack to actually hit their opponents.
Fallen Earth is free-to-play with a premium subscription option.

Arkansas Family Fights to Bring Daughter Home
By: KARK 4 News
Updated: December 28, 2012
An international story is hitting close to home for a Northwest Arkansas family.
"She fits into our family perfectly."
Kendra and Jason Skaggs are waiting to bring their 5-year-old daughter home to Bella Vista. People say she looks just like them, and the Skaggs family already considers her part of the family. But with pictures hanging on the walls and an empty place in their hearts, they are waiting to see if she will ever come home.
"I just fell in love with her immediately. When I got to the orphanage and I saw her rolled out, I knew that was her and I knew in my heart that she was my daughter," said Kendra.
But, Polina Joy Skaggs might never know the love of a family.
"We've told her we're coming back in 30 days to get you and bring you home with us and shown her pictures of her bedroom. We may never be able to go back and see her again."
Polina has spent her entire life in orphanages and hospitals in Russia, and is living with spina bifida. After traveling to Russia twice and visiting with her on 10 different occasions, Kendra said Polina is not getting the care and medical attention she needs at the orphanage. Once she is in the United States, they know she will need surgeries, physical therapy and occupational therapy.
"She doesn't have the unconditional love of a family, she doesn't know the love of Jesus and I know she's there, but I can't take care of her and I can't comfort her."
But Friday morning, Russian president Vadimir Putin signed a bill, banning the adoption of Russian children by American families.
"On our court date they told us that there was talk now that if the law was approved they were going to stop all adoptions, including the ones that had already been through the court system."
Russia's upper house of parliament unanimously approved the ban. With President Vladimir Putin's signature, the ban will become reality.
Many believe the proposed ban is in retaliation of a bill President Barack Obama signed early in December, which freezes the American assets of Russians accused of abusing human rights.
The law has been met with harsh criticism in Russia by government officials and civilians.
"I ask myself, what am I going to do. It will be devastating for our entire family including my son, he considers her his sister," said Kendra.
Kendra and Jason have an 8-year-old son named Carter, who has Asperger's Syndrome. Kendra is a special education teacher at Mary Mae Jones Elementary School in Bentonville, and she believes working with disabled children is a blessing.
"It was at that time that God really put it on my heart to adopt a special needs child."
The Skaggs recently purchased a van so they could accommodate Polina's wheelchair. Kendra said they have changed their entire lives around, so they can help her, accommodate her, and help her reach her full potential.
So as a bedroom sits empty, waiting for Polina, the Skaggs family is ready to take on the lifelong committment of caring for their little princess.
"For us, it's not about having an easy life, it's about having a fulfilling life. God called us to care for the orphans... and we're following that call in adopting Polina."
And as they wait for answers, the Skaggs are keeping faith that some day soon, they will be a family of four.
"If we can bring her home then I'm going to sob in relief and just rejoice that we're able to have her."
The Skaggs family is planning to bring Polina home January 29. But with the ban now a reality, they are hoping and praying adoptions that have already been approved will be allowed to proceed. Kendra said even if they move to Russia, Americans that live in the country still cannot adopt Russian children.
The adoption process started 13 months ago and costs around $45,000. At first, Kendra and Jason did not know how they were going to make it work, but said God provided for them. Through fundraisers, the community and even thanks to people they have never met, they were able to raise enough money to make their dream come true.
Kendra said the day she brings Polina home will be the best day of her life, next to the day her son was born.

Often my anti-consumerist, smaller footprint, "live simply" self, and my "the kids deserve the joy that materialism so easily delivers", acquisitive, affluenza-suffering self war with each other.
Especially during birthdays, and holidays. During these special days I, like every other conscious consumer, enter the battlefield of who to buy for, what to buy, and why? And, most importantly, HOW?
For your consideration, some guidelines I came up with for my own conscious and compassionate consumerism:
1. Remember that every dollar is a vote. When you spend, you are voting for the survival of one "contender" over another. You're contributing to the policies, and politics, of the corporation you buy from. Choose accordingly.
2. Locally owned companies need your support to stay afloat. So, keep chain store gift buying to a bare-minimum. If you're going to spend your "hard-earned" cash, spend it where it helps the most.
3. Gift with products and services you believe in. Organic cotton socks may be out of your price range ($50 for five pairs? Yikes!), but, see # 4.
4. Buy products and services produced and offered by people you know. You probably know a lot of really great folks, doing really great things. Artists and artisans, musicians, writers, massage therapists and body workers, hairstylists and aestheticians, fix-it guys and gals, coaches, teachers, carpenters, tarot readers, florists.
Instead of an item that may or may not go to waste, why not purchase a gift certificate for a massage, a dollar amount at a local store, a commissioned piece of art from an artist friend, classes, or a glorious spa day? Look at it this way; not many of these are things most of us would buy for ourselves right now. Not with the economy being so bad. So why not feed the "giftees" heart with some gentle R and R, a feast for the soul, or the gift of beauty?
This doesn't need to be a big expenditure, either. Get a gift certificate for lunch at the locally owned taquería. You're out ten bux, and your friend is in for a great lunch!
Keep in mind that when you buy from friends, you gift twice. You support your friend in her or his commitment to "right livelihood", and you give a quality, personal gift to the recipient.
5. Attempt to fully and presently give the gift of yourself. Relax into the experience of it, stay present in the joy of times shared with loved ones. Light candles to welcome the return of the Sun.
6. Become conscious of your judgments, and let them go. This is a very personal suggestion that you may relate to; one of my biggest challenges to staying present in gifting is my judgments about consumerism, and the wastefulness that especially the bigger holidays bring; light displays, wrapping paper, extra driving, extra buying, extra spending. And with the more minor holidays being amped, this complaint no longer belongs just to Christmas time.
My voice of judgment rings out in response to my own holiday habits – which at times veer into excess, over-extension, stress. It can be overwhelming to stay conscious in the midst of it. So, I try to relax my judgment towards myself and others. Judgment is not compassion.
7. Meditate on the longing, the need, the hunger that the shadow-side of WANT inspires, and allow it to pass. Again, and again, and again. Feel it, and let it go. Recognize it in your own desires to care for, and to be cared for, and find acceptance and love for the hungry parts of you. Notice it in others, and generate compassionate understanding.
Just as with any face of compassion, conscious, compassionate consumerism is a practice. It's a practice I undertake for my own benefit, and the benefit of all sentient beings.
These are my steps to compassionate consumerism. What are yours?

Overview of Augusta
Located in the east central section of Georgia, the city of Augusta is approximately 150 miles east of Atlanta. It is the state's oldest city, as well as its second largest, and is known for the majestic mansions and quiet, tree-lined avenues that make it easy to understand why Augusta is nicknamed "The Garden City."
That said, the city also has a vibrant side to its culture. The downtown area, situated along the banks of the Savannah River, has benefited from extensive revitalization and beautification efforts. Those looking for Augusta apartments for rent will find the city to be a Mecca of arts, culture, shopping, recreation and cuisine - and the fact that its average temperature is a balmy 62.7 degrees Fahrenheit doesn't hurt either.
Living in Augusta, GA
Twice the capital of Georgia, the settlement of Augusta was founded in 1736 as a trading post and named after Welsh princess Augusta of Saxe Gotha. Before that time, it was home to the Creek and Cherokee Indians indigenous to the area. However, Augusta's growth didn't begin to really take off until after the construction of the Augusta Canal in 1847. The city was a pivotal site during the days of the cotton boom, and became the second largest inland cotton market in the world. Today, the Cotton Exchange, established in 1872, is among the area's extensive register of historically significant homes and buildings - along with the childhood home of former U.S. President Woodrow Wilson. More than 196,000 people currently call the city home.
Augusta has nine neighborhoods on the National Register of Historic Places, including the Downtown Historic District and the hilltop neighborhood of Summerville. In 1996, the city merged with Richmond County to form a consolidated city-county.
Augusta Work and Study
Augusta is home to a number of institutes of further education, including Augusta State University, Augusta Technical College, Paine College and the Medical College of Georgia. MCG has approximately 7,800 people on its payroll, along with University Hospital, which has approximately 3,860 workers. Healthcare is a big industry in Augusta - the city is home to one of the best burn treatment centers in the Southeast, as well as a state-of-the-art children's hospital. Indeed, Georgia's first heart transplant was performed in this city.
Augusta is also home to U.S. Army Signal Center Fort Gordon, which trains more military personnel than any other branch training center of the U.S. Army.
Rentals in Augusta, GA and Cost of Living
According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the median gross rent for apartments in Augusta is $710. The cost of living isn't bad either - the city scored a 90.4 on City-Data.com's March 2011 cost of living index, lower than the national average of 100.
Augusta Attractions and Special Events
Augusta offers a bevy of attractions for history buffs, including a plethora of designated historic places and the numerous exhibits at the Augusta Museum of History and the Lucy Craft Laney Museum of Black History. Meanwhile, the Gertrude Herbert Institute of Art, which serves as the Central Savannah River Area's only independent non-profit visual art school and gallery, is sure to capture the imaginations of art lovers. Its vast selection of studio classes and workshops allows participants to try their hand at artistic pursuits such as painting, sculpting, weaving, photography and more.
For the sportier, the Augusta National Golf Club hosts the annual Masters Golf Tournament, which has attracted the sport's brightest stars since 1934. The world-renowned course, which opened in December 1932, was built on the site of a former indigo plantation. The club boasts an exclusive members list that includes a number of well-known CEOs and high-profile political figures.
For those eager to explore the part of the city that borders the Savannah River, Riverwalk Augusta fits the bill. The Riverwalk consists of two bricked levels and spans four streets in the downtown area. In the summer, the pedestrian-only road at 8th Street and Reynolds hosts the Saturday Market on the River and the Candlelight Jazz Series, while the Japanese Gardens on the lower level are the perfect place to relax and recharge. The 1,800-seat Jessye Norman Amphitheater, located at the end of the 9th Street Plaza, is a concert venue with a perfect backdrop - the Savannah River itself.

Northampton flanker Calum Clark will return from his 32-week ban against Leicester Tigers this weekend.
Clark was suspended for hyper-extending the arm of Leicester hooker Rob Hawkins in the LV= Cup final back in March.
The suspension ruled him out of England's tour to South Africa and the start of the new Aviva Premiership season, making Saturday his first opportunity to play for Northampton in what will be a hostile encounter at Welford Road.
"When he got suspended you look at the next game he's available and that's this coming Saturday, so you can guarantee Calum will be in the squad this week," Mallinder told the Northampton Chronicle.
"There are no worries about that whatsoever. There are so many things that happen in rugby, you can't keep looking back and talking about that.
"You've got to look to the future and it's all about this Saturday.
"I'm sure Leicester aren't talking about it, we as a team have not spoken about it and Calum is focused on his performance, getting back to playing for Northampton and doing the best he can to beat Leicester.
"Leicester is a hostile environment, without a doubt. It's going to be at full capacity from what I've heard: 24,000 people there.
"Calum has been thinking about that throughout this period and I'm sure he'll be fine on Saturday."

Horse is killed by hit-and-run driver
Last updated at 11:37, Thursday, 26 July 2012
STABLE owners have been left devastated after one of their beloved horses was killed by a hit-and-run driver.
The three-year-old gelding named Al was killed when he was hit by a car in misty conditions on the busy Cold Fell road.
The driver failed to stop.
The horse was found by Sarah Bradley, of Bradley's Riding Centre and Bed and Breakfast, on Tuesday after the mist had cleared on the 8½-mile stretch of road that joins Ennerdale Bridge and Calderbridge.
Stable owner Dorothy Bradley said that the road was used as a "rat run" and that drivers regularly ignore the speed limit.
She said: "It's a 40mph speed limit but they go faster and totally ignore the speed limit. The driving conditions weren't good, they were foggy and drivers were going far too fast for them."
The riding centre is popular with children who regularly go on treks on the horses.
Ms Bradley said: "The little girls who come around don't know yet and when they find out they will be very upset."
Al was worth in the region of £3,000 but Ms Bradley said that the "price didn't come into it".
The stretch of road has been the subject of a lengthy campaign to reduce speeds.
The Cold Fell Road Community Action Group – made up of local community members, councillors, police officers and Sellafield representatives – has worked tireless for years to improve safety for motorists, pedestrians and animals on the road.
A 40mph limit was introduced in December 2010.
First published at 11:10, Thursday, 26 July 2012
Published by http://www.whitehavennews.co.uk
Have your say
There has been absolutely no improvement by reducing the speed limit to 40mph. The road is still taken over by the selfish Sellafield drivers in their sporty cars. These drivers give anyone who is driving in the opposite direction questioning looks because they believe it to be one way. What stoopid short sighted Councils we employ. The areas roads are outdated, there is no evidence of wealth in this area.
There must be someone with a very messed up car, and if they have no conscience about what they have done, they were obviously up to no good or would at least have reported anonymously that they thought they had hit something. Maybe gates could be fitted and access restricted in poor weather or during night times.
