Dealing with Dumb Comments During Your Pregnancy
Maggie Baumann, M.A.: What's the worst thing someone said to you when you were pregnant?
It's been a long time since I was pregnant (my kids are 24 and 22), but I have found one thing that has remained a constant for pregnant mothers in my day and pregnant mothers today: People, especially strangers, say the dumbest things to pregnant women -- often with a negative spin, making you feel like your personal space and self-esteem have been invaded.
When you're pregnant, you are often barraged with comments from people who I think mean well, but just go over the line and cross your personal boundaries. In fact, you may have even made these comments to a pregnant woman yourself before. I know I have. Questions such as:
- How much weight have you gained?
- Can I touch your stomach?
- Want to hear my horror story of labor?
I recently read this wonderful book called, "Does This Pregnancy Make Me Look Fat?" by Claire Mysko and Magali Amadei. Mysko is a body-image expert, and Amadei is a mom and former model who went public with her struggle with bulimia. Their book presents the essentials to loving your body before and after baby, covering such topics as body image during pregnancy, baby-bump expectations, sex after the baby, etc. I was particularly interested in the chapter that discusses setting appropriate boundaries with others when you are pregnant. That's where I stumbled upon how women should deal with irritating comments from people about their pregnant body -- and all that goes with it.
I'd like to summarize the steps they suggested. Here you go -- help dealing with everything from weight-gain guessing to tummy-touching!
There are five key steps to setting boundaries:
1) Decide early on which kinds of boundary-probing questions you're comfortable with, and which you aren't.
Are you comfortable talking about breastfeeding techniques with your hairstylist, or is that a topic best left to family members and close friends? You just never know what kind of advice or information you might receive from a complete stranger, so be ready with a "boundary-safe" concrete answer to questions you feel are intrusive. If something feels over the line, say, "I appreciate your concern, but I am not comfortable discussing that topic except with my close friends and family members."
2) Make weight and body-size conversations off-limits.
No one really appreciates weight gain-related questions, pregnant or not. But for some reason, people feel this need to know your numbers when you're pregnant. Is it for comparison purposes? Does it help them feel better about themselves?
Whatever the reason, hearing comments that you are waddling like an oversized penguin or that you resemble a beached whale never adds to anyone's self-esteem. These comments, unfortunately, are often the ones we hear from those we are closest to. And they hurt.
Stand your ground and tell your family and friends that you would appreciate it if no one would comment on your weight gain or body size during your pregnancy.
3) Set up a support team to help you stick to your healthy boundaries.
This is a time when you need to speak up for yourself! You may know in your mind what feels safe in regards to your boundaries and what doesn't, but unless you verbalize these boundaries to your support team, they won't be able to stand up for you if you should find yourself speechless one day against an attacking comment.
Select the people you trust, and ask them for their support if you get caught up in a bind when a stranger is asking you questions you'd rather not answer. Ask your friends, "If you find me in an awkward position with someone commenting on my body size, can you run interference for me and redirect the conversation?" As long as friends and family members are aware of your needs, they should be quick to help you when you need assistance protecting your boundary.
4) Pick your battles.
Well, there's one thing we know in life: We can't control each situation or each person we come into contact with. Sometimes, you may have to let unwanted advice just pass right through you -- especially if it's from someone you have a relationship with. If your outspoken grandma has been telling you how to dress and cut your hair since you were in your teens, she's probably going to have a lot of advice when you get pregnant.
Grandma probably isn't going to change. So in this case, avoiding a confrontation is probably the best solution. If you find yourself having to spend the whole weekend with Grandma, ask your sister or other relative to distract her, and then blow off your steam with someone who does support your boundaries.
5) Practice your boundary-setting message.
As I mentioned in the first point, have set answers to give to probing questioners. This will help protect you against unwanted advice or comments. The trick here is to verbally practice, practice and practice your "comebacks," so that when you're least expecting a boundary attack, you'll be ready to speak your mind quickly and assertively.
It's not your obligation to answer anyone's questions that you feel are intrusive to your boundaries. We've come to believe that we have to answer these questions because most people do. But you can respectfully decline to answer. Voicing your boundary is not being rude -- it is your right to privacy and feeling good about yourself.
So what's the most annoying advice you got when you were pregnant? I'll come back to this topic in a future post ....
That would be very satisfying if this picked up a good audience.
You need to understand that some nuts might be quite picky germane to but also let's stop right there.
This essay is understood good for everybody, I hope all the folks know about it. Thanks
Stop wasting time with until you're ready to get serious about.
I loved what you've carried out here. The structure is tasteful, your published material stylish. Nonetheless, you've bought an edginess to what you're supplying the following. Unwell totally arrive again yet again for very much a lot more in case you protect this up. Dont eradicate hope if not too a few women and men see your ideas, know you might have received a fan suitable the next who valuations what you have obtained to say along with all the way you have presented oneself. Excellent on you!
Seeing several of your articles or blog posts I really found this specific one to generally be excellent. I have a blog also and wish to repost several snips of your respective content on my blog. Would it be ok if I do this so long I personal reference your web blog or generate a backlink towards the write-up I procured the snip from? If not I am aware of and could not do it without having your acceptance . I have book marked this particular article to twitter in addition to zynga account for reference. Anyway thank you either way!
good ~
I thought I was clear that I feel this is a waste of time, but It can be extremely difficult.
Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes.

Looking at your post I'm sure i could possibly recognize through college, did happen to go to Texas Technology? If you did remember to blast me a message so we could get up to date it's been quite a while! Anticipate speaking with you and wish virtually all will be well with you.
Thank you for great article. I had a very good time reading, and there were few things I was surprised by.

From The Kitchen... On Christmas Morning
My best Christmas memories are food-memories. I remember Christmas morning more in terms of what we ate rather than the gifts I unwrapped.
I remember the orange in the bottom of my stocking, the Mexican hot chocolate whizzing in the blender, mom cracking the eggs like musical instruments against the butcher block and sizzling them with bratwurst, dad squeezing the orange juice...
I remember sitting out on the warm brick patio, or by the fireplace (we always lit a fire despite the normally warm Los Angeles weather), my mouth watering in anticipation. I remember discovering the merits of freshly cracked pepper as it met with those sizzled eggs. I remember vowing to never turn back from pulpy orange juice.
In the decades that have passed, our family has moved across continents and thus our Christmas traditions have changed. Last year mom and I scrapped it all and spent Christmas in the Bahamas at a yoga retreat. But this year she's visiting us, and she's brought a touch of that Californian warmth, and some Christmas kitchen traditions too.
This year we'll be in my house, probably re-inventing some of those traditions, adapting to the change that is inevitable in any family. But you can bet the Mexican hot chocolate, the juice and the eggs will be on the menu. Some traditions are worth holding on to.
10 Comments
The biggest Christmastime food memory I have is, without a doubt, my grandmother's tamales.
Next year, I think, I'm going to try to make them myself.
My favorite memories of holiday eating surrounds making cornbread dressing. We would put all the ingredients in the batter and let it bake. Meanwhile us girls shoot the s**t and play dominoes. Filthy jokes abound. After baking we would get a slice of hot cornbread and spread butter on top before we go on to the next step of dressing making.
(Relatively) new tradition: On Christmas morning, my sister-in-law makes 2 types of Strada (one with sausage and one without meat) that are served up after all presents are opened. Accompanied by Hot Chocolate for the little kids and Bellini for the big kids. If I can pry the recipe from her, I'll post it on this thread in the next day or so.
My best Christmas food memories:
My mother was Irish, my father Portuguese, we were raised Italian. (Don't ask). My mother became the BEST Italian cook. It went like this:
Christmas eve: 7 different fish dishes, a wine for each one; salad, fresh fruit, ricotta pie and pizelles. Christmas Day: Italian pastry and coffee (mixed down with milk as kids); open the stockings which always had chocolates and oranges; dinner - tons of company, roast
chicken, ravioli, (we're talking separate courses folks)greens with garlic & oil, Salad, fresh fruit, expresso, Italian grain pie, biscotti, walnuts in shells, roasted chestnuts, home made anisette and it went on. In between that, all the gifts and then, everyone crashed in the living room and watched history shows. It was amazing. My mother made evrything from scratch. I still make the biscotti, ricotti pie and roast the chestnuts. It was awesome.
Enrique, growing up we, too, had strada on Christmas morning (though it was all meat in my mother's '50s style cooking!). We usually opened our stockings and then sat down to breakfast which also included a fruit salad of grapefruits and oranges. Something appealing about the mix of citrus with sausage and egg... There are so many versions of it. Now that I have my own family, I enjoy experimenting each time. And, oh, yes, jmarieb3 -- we'll all get oranges and chocolate in our stockings. My husband and I are trying Green and Black's for the first time.
When we were kids my brother Gar got really into shortwave radio, and one of his favorite shows was Radio Netherlands. They often featured recipes on RN, and the one my brother really got into was for Ontbeijkoek (pronounced kinda like Oont-beh-coke.) It's a Honey Cake - similar to the Jewish Honey Cakes only this recipe is a little lighter in texture and mega super moist, and has a deep, rich, mellow flavor from the two primary flavourings of Honey and Coffee. Of everyone in the family, I was always the one who most looked forward to it and I always started my Christmas morning with a cup of warm Eggnog and a slice of Ontbeijkoek.
He couldn't have been more than 16 years old when he got that recipe, which means I was 12. Now he's 40 and I'm 36 and he still makes and FedEx-es me a Honey Cake every year for Christmas.
- Tania :)
Just returned from a Christmas Eve celebration with friends. Roast Lambs shanks, polenta, greens, great wine and chocolate genache cake. Now I'm going to wrap presents before bed.
Abbe: Enjoy the Green & Black's. And Tania, the mere fact that your brother STILL fed x's your honey cake, is a true Christmas story.
To all, enjoy
My mom always made batches of fudge-regular, mint, peanut butter, etc. As a kid, every time I was heading for the kitchen my father would always shout out a weirdly specific fudge and milk request, "two pieces of mint, one peanut butter and three fingers of milk!"
Chris B: That quote is a book title in the making. Nice memory.
I'm late to comment on this thread. Yet as I wondered what in heck were my childhood Christmas food memories, I drew mostly a blank, except for the traditional cookies, and the fun of decorating the cut-out cookies. But the strongest memory is the Christmas china! An uncle gave my parents a beautiful set of Christmas English china when they married in the 1950s. I wish I could tell you the maker and pattern. To my child's eyes, anything served on this beautiful stuff tasted great!

Issue No. 44 - December/January 2008
Walsh advocates urban renovation
Terry Walsh, appointed ED for the Urban Development Institute of Australa in SA in June, brings a wide business and educatioin background to his new role as the voice of reason in the debate over Adelaide's metropolitan growth.
A consultant to manufacturers, Ernst & Young and others in various industries Terry co-founded GSI Consulting in 2001 to advise on strategy, leadership, teaming and business performance.
Now he works at UDIA (SA) four days per week and maintains a private client base as Director of Walsh Management.
UDIA represents the development industry, a broad range of development professionals who create value through property development from base land.
"As an industry association, we provide advice and education sessions to members to ensure the industry is
gaining extra value in each step of the development process, from turning land plots into titled allotments through to developing properties of various types," Terry says.
The development industry develops significant wealth for South Australians; it contributes about 4.5% of GSP. UDIA research has found the SA development industry had a total turnover of $9.2 billion in 2004 05.
"(The research) showed the industry directly employed around 43,000 people – more than 7% of the state's
total employment – paid more than $1.5 billion in wages and salaries and added $3 billion of direct value," Terry says.
"In comparison, during the same period the automotive industry - the largest single manufacturing industry in SA - directly employed some 10,000 people, while the wine industry accounted for about 9000 people.
"Every million dollars of turnover generated by the development industry in SA creates $330,000 of direct value added, 4.5 jobs in the development industry and $15,000 in activity-based State taxes."
UDIA develops and enunciates policy, identifying ways to assist the industry and the state's planning and ...

If you haven't heard the buzz about W magazine's movie issue with cover girl Emma Stone, you've been living under a rock slash have a life. But it's something worth taking a moment to look at because this issue, in my opinion, has some of the best photos of celebrities ever taken. The pictures show 33 of this year's brightest stars and are like none you've ever seen before. The low-tech, single-source, hard-edge flash we've seen used time and time again in Terry Richardson photos is utilized here by photographer Juergen Teller and makes stars like Kristen Stewart, Naomi Watts, and Nicole Kidman look like scared yet strong, accessible, makeup-free humans.
Did I mention I love it? Because I love it I love it I love it.
There's something about the photos that make these three women seem so vulnerable but in control. Take Kristen Stewart. Her hair looks greasy, her face and skin tone look tired and gray, yet her gorgeous leather Isabel Marant dress and that wonderfully beguiling does-she-have-the-flu or is-she-flirting smirk is perfection on a platter.
And Naomi Watts. She's 44, but in this photo she could pass for 20. The white Emilio Pucci halter gown drapes over and cuts her body into lovely little sections of muscle and skin. It's alluring. It's what a beauty shot should be.
Nicole Kidman's shot is also appealing and charming. Kidman, who's had more than, shall we say, her fair share of facial fillers, is far enough away from the lens that her natural beauty still shines through. In a black, silk, Blumarine gown, she seems to light up the dingy motel all by herself. It's gorgeous.
The rest of the photos are special, too, but these three really stood out. It's spreads like these that make me fall in love with beauty and style all over again.
What did you think?
Photo via WMagazine.com
I always hate whenever I see stars without makeup pictures. There's never an appropriate response. If you think they look good, then you're doing it to prove a point about solidarity and sisterhood and whatever. If you think they look bad, then you're an asshole. I don't understand the whole "stars-they're just like us!" Phenomenon. And OF COURSE you don't need makeup to look beautiful. I can see people in my everyday life to know that. I don't need a celebrity "being brave" and going makeup free to know that.
I think they all look horribe.
I create a special savings account
I put a little away at a time
I cut corners until I can afford it
Save? Who has money to save?
I plan to put it on my credit card and love the benefits of the reward program

For the past four years, investors have anticipated that next year would be the year when the Svengalic curse is removed from the U.S. economy. As 2013 concluded, we noted that same hopeful exuberance regarding prospects for 2014. Thankfully, it is this type of eternal optimism that has made the U.S. such a great nation over the years.
Unfortunately, many of the headwinds that have restrained economic growth since the Great Recession remain firmly in place. A dysfunctional Washington seems incapable of tackling burgeoning federal deficits, immigration/border security, tax code simplification, energy policy, or sensible entitlement reform. Europe continues to struggle with its banking system, expensive social initiatives, and declining birth rates. The Middle East remains frighteningly unstable. And China
continues to grapple with its transition from an export-centric economy to one more heavily influenced by its citizens' own consumption.
Still, hope springs eternal in pockets of growth and opportunity across the U.S. Among the most promising pockets of growth and opportunity are hydraulic fracturing/horizontal drilling and factory automation. Despite our nation's challenges, the availability of (1) inexpensive fossil fuels and (2) a new wave of automated/flexible production processes should spur a revitalizing wave of in-sourcing within the U.S. This trend should become significantly more visible in 2014, even in the midst of another year characterized by sub-potential overall economic growth.
Transportation and logistics companies will increasingly be called upon to haul, store and process raw materials, finished materials, parts, components, sub-assemblies and finished products — instead of just imported goods originating in Asia or elsewhere offshore. These incremental transportation and logistics services must be provided by domestic operators that will gradually find demand outstripping capacity. Pricing dynamics, therefore, should turn increasingly positive.
As a result, 2014 could be the first year in a multiyear renaissance among transportation and logistics companies.
John G. Larkin is Managing Director of Stifel.

SR Technics offers 45-day engine turnarounds
Airliner maintenance group SR Technics (Stand CO1) has managed to bring the turnaround time for CFM56 engine overhaul down to 45 days. In January the first engine to be completed under its newly streamlined maintenance process was returned to German airline Hapag Lloyd Flug.
"The new maintenance offering will be a highly attractive option for operators to keep engine ground time to a minimum," said André Wall, SR Technics COO. This reduces engine lease times and the number of spare engines that airlines require, said the company, which is owned by Abu Dhabi's Mubadala group. n

For President Obama, a list of difficulties has become the equivalent of a list of failures. If the world is a mess, it is because of his foreign policy. If Republicans are obstructionists, he didn't "lead" and win them over. If a mid-level bureaucrat in one of the six far-flung federal districts creates a public crisis and embarrasses the government, the President should have been standing over his shoulder. Scope or scale no longer matter. The only accounting is a single ledger list of his faults—which includes policies and fights that were on Democrats' wish list–and even things he should have done, extrapolated from current events. How dare he not have a prophetic vision?
This idea of a list of his failings has expanded to include even his obvious victories. Obama fail is a helpless craving, prompted by a President who inspired a phantasmagoria of fallacies and fear so rich that he alternates between being considered utterly inept and having embedded diabolical wiles whose ruses and ploys are able to summon and capture world-class terrorists in faraway lands on command, to protect and distract the public from his failures.
"Too neat," several pundits have described Obama's announcement of the capture of one of the leaders of the 2012 armed strike on the US consul in Benghazi. Add it to the list as a coarse example of another Obama political stunt.
Boehner pointedly thanked the troops.
Obama is a dumb guy who keeps terrorists in his back pockets. He stages their capture whenever he needs a political boost. The new list of failures even allows for mutually exclusive ideas.
This line item strategic equivalence of failure is assigned to every presidential action Obama undertakes—and for every event that takes place anywhere in the world. It is an easy default of add-ons that avoids a list of reasons, requires no thought, and plays well in the press.
The narrative of Obama failure is not only the one in the press. One of his difficulties is the narrative of our history. Unique to America's DNA, that historical narrative also finds a way to wrap its tentacles around every act and view of the President. It is the host and source for his failures and has proven malleable and durable through the years.
To some, it is invisible; to others, it is denied. It is alternatively small and large. Mainly it is dismissed. But it is a silent, unspoken constant; one that makes the fur fly about equality, equal opportunity, qualifications, character, ideology, justice, safety nets, slavery, education, personal ethics, stereotypes, American strength. It is attached to our tailwinds, our progress as a nation.
The President rarely makes note of it. The few times he has, he has been excoriated for it. It has come up in jokes at the WHCD. In remarks to the press about gun violence. The fact that the President seems unfazed by it infuriates many people even more.
Its presence and weight, its burden and well known place is demonstrated by the fact that, although unnamed, by now you know exactly what I am talking about. (His birth certificate? His inexperience? His vacations? No?) It's race.
It has an inverse effect on his power. The greater Obama's accomplishments, the greater the denial. The more low-key the recognition, the louder the cry that he exceeds his authority.
The media is especially culpable in creating the boxed-in myth of post-racialism—in the midst of one of the most active periods of individual and political expressions of race we have witnessed in our history.
The media drags the President down by its omission of race as a silent embed in our national noise, around since Frederick Douglass was begged and implored not to march in a Republican street parade in Washington, DC (he ended up carrying his delegation's banner!); since W.E.B. DuBois identified its effects as a "double consciousness" regarding African-Americans; since lynchings by color persisted through the early 20th century, followed by vigilante violence and Midwestern sundown towns (all blacks out by sundown!)—since the only Supreme Court decision whose full effect of law was delayed with "all deliberate speed" (Brown v. the Board of Education, Topeka, KS). Race has been used to tarnish achievements since Dr. King's legacy (his desire for equality made him a communist!) and before and since to justify the brutal lynching of Emmett Till, the smearing of the NBA, to advance the coverage of television reality stars who rewrite history to deny their visceral, unrelenting hate of President Obama—due to race—by making race and fault the same, with nothing between.

We should remember all the Allied war dead – and the Germans, too
Baroness Warsi is quite right to say that we should remember the foreign soldiers who fought alongside the British during the First World War.
As she puts it in her speech today, "Tariqs and Tajinders fought shoulder to shoulder with Tommies in Flanders, Ypres, Gallipoli and Passchendaele."
That line echoes one of the great speeches of the war, delivered by the Turkish general, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, later Turkey's first President. After he had defeated the Allies at Gallipoli, he said in honour of the Allied war dead, "Heroes who shed their blood and lost their lives! You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and Mehmets to us where they lie, side by side, here in this country of ours. You, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land, they have become our sons as well."
My great-grandfather was killed at Gallipoli – and I remember being extremely moved by reading those lines on a Turkish monument when I visited his grave for the first time 20 years ago. It strikes just the right note of collective mourning.
We should commemorate the German war dead of the First World War in the same spirit. On several recent trips to Germany, I have been struck by the muted commemorations of the war – partly because of the shame of German political conduct before and during the war; but even more so because of the feeling that the First World War led to the abject moral behaviour of the Germans in the Second.
I visited a First World War cemetery near the middle of Berlin that few Berliners, or Germans, visit – while we still make the much longer pilgrimage to Allied graves on the Western front. The reasons for the different treatment of the war dead of the two sides are of course understandable.
But the Berlin cemetery – like those of the Western front – is also full of dead teenage boys who can hardly be accused of any blame for the angry currents of international politics. They deserve to be remembered, too.

Over five months later, Mariam has yet to find a full-time job, a true sign of how pitiful our economy is these days. But she's kept busy not only job hunting but also picking up freelance writing gigs and laying the ground work for her business Research Works, through which she offers freelance copy writing, research and editing services to companies.
Mariam has also started a blog that's received a lot of attention called The Pink Slip Blog - Living Life Laid Off. This blog stands out from the rest because in addition to sharing stories on the emotional roller coaster on which this time has sent her, Mariam also discusses the economic issues on a national scale so readers leave her site a little smarter than they were before stopping by.
We caught up with Mariam recently to talk to her about her blog and about what it's like living life laid off.
When and why did you start the blog?
I started the blog in January, during (Louisville's) snowstorm. I was in month three of my employment hiatus then. I had wanted to start a blog for a while in order to informally publish some of my writing and to share my thoughts with the world. I felt like after three months of being unemployed, I had more to say about being jobless than I did about any of the other subjects I could have chosen to write about.
How has the helped you deal with your "employment hiatus"?
It's cathartic. I usually end each post on a positive note, and I've found that even if I was distressed when I sat down to write, the process of sorting out my feelings in words to the point where I can make other people understand them helps me to feel better. And whenever readers leave a comment on the blog that says they're in the same situation, they're encouraged, or they're just enjoying the writing, my spirit perks up again.
In addition to your blog you've been featured on FLYP Magazine and in a story I wrote for Velocity Weekly, in which you talked about being laid off. Why are you so open to sharing your story?
Three reasons: 1) I know there are millions of people in the same situation. 2) I don't think young adults affected by the recession have gotten much attention. 3) I never know where a job lead might come from.
Has being laid off taught you anything about yourself?
Yes. It's taught me that: I shouldn't be afraid to showcase my talent as an essayist; I enjoy this style of writing even more than I do play writing and screenwriting (Mariam's also a dancer, actress and playwright. Click here for more on how awesome she is); I'm good without all the events my former employer used to get me into for free; I can be very productive working from home; and it has reinforced something I already knew -- I function best in quiet surroundings.
What's your dream job?
To be an author and freelance writer who makes a comfortable living and who occasionally gets the chance to appear on stage in her own work and in that of others. Managing the blog and social media content, newsletters, and press for non-profits, small businesses, or a corporation would fit in well with that goal.
How are you coping both financially and emotionally?
Financially, I'm blessed. I've never been late with rent, I don't have any "services terminated" notices, and I'm never hungry. I was worried at the beginning because I knew that the deferred billing on some items I had bought for my apartment was about to come due, things were tight already, and I had never gone through filing for unemployment benefits before. I didn't know what 1.3078% of my base period wages would look like. I now know it's enough to cover the basics, plus three really good going out of business sales and a trip to the beautician exactly once every eight weeks for a press and a trim. It's very difficult to save money, though. I recently decided to take the payout for the sorry remainder of my 401k and put it into a health savings account now that I have high-deductible individual health insurance. Emotionally, there are ups and downs. I'm not naturally optimistic, so after several weeks of thinking positive and getting no new job leads or getting several rejection letters/emails in a row, I tend to revert back to glass half-empty mode. But I write about it and apply for jobs again.

California Attorney General Kamala Harris is engaged to marry a Los Angeles lawyer, her spokesman said Monday.
Harris fiancé, Douglas Emhoff, is partner in charge of the law firm Venable LLPs Los Angeles office. The two were engaged March 27, said David Beltran, Harris communications director.
Harris, a former San Francisco district attorney, is a rising star in the Democratic Party and is widely considered a potential future candidate for governor or U.S. Senate. She and Emhoff are both 49.
Gov. Jerry Brown was 67 when he married Anne Gust in 2005. He went on to win election in 2006 to the post Harris now holds, before winning the governors race in 2010.
Harris told the San Francisco Chronicle on Sunday that Emhoff proposed on one knee at her San Francisco apartment.
No wedding date has been set, but it will probably be within six months, Harris told the newspaper. She said she and Emhoff had been dating for about a year.
David Siders
Californians carried the nations fourth-highest state and local tax burden in 2011, the Tax Foundation says in a new report, largely because its personal incomes are markedly lower than those of other high-tax states. Californias tax burden was 11.4 percent of its average per capita income of $45,354, or $5,136. New York was the highest at 12.6 percent, followed by New Jersey at 12.3 percent and Connecticut at 11.9 percent. Wyoming residents had the lowest tax burden, 6.9 percent, and the national average was 9.8 percent.

One of Ten Libraries Selected Nationwide!
Your Columbus Public Library was selected for the American Library Association Libraries Transforming Communities training grant!
Public libraries interact with and serve local residents in many ways, and Columbus Public Library is embarking on a new project to strengthen its role as a core community leader and change agent.
Columbus Public Library is one of 10 public libraries nationwide that will undergo an intensive 18-month, team-based community engagement training program as part of the Libraries Transforming Communities (LTC) Public Innovators Cohort. Sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA), Columbus Public Library will receive nearly $60,000 in training and services as a participant in the project.
"The cohort was selected through a highly-competitive peer-reviewed application process that is part of ALA's LTC initiative," said Cindy Fesemyer, director of the Columbus Public Library. "The Libraries Transforming Communities project is a national plan to help librarians strengthen their role as corecommunity leaders and change-agents."
Through in-person training, webinars, and coaching—valued at $50,000—five Library staff members, board members and other community partners will learn new community engagement techniques and apply them to challenges in the Columbus area. The library will also receive an $8,000 cash grant to help
cover the cost of the new community engagement work.

FORT MYERS, Fla.- Southwest Florida could soon be home to an arena football team: the Florida Stingrays. Today, players and staff members held a youth football camp at Shady Oaks Park in Fort Myers. More than 30 kids showed up to play football with them. They ran drills and learned about the rules of the game.
"This right here (the football camp) is a positive experience. They can get out here and play together and be around some positive people who make an impact in their lives," said Chris Morant, the head coach of the Florida Stingrays.
Yasias Young, 10, has dreams of playing for an NFL team.
"(Philadelphia) Eagles," said Young.
Local football stars were volunteers at today's camp as well. South Fort Myers wide receiver, Samuel Watkins, was one of the athletes mentoring kids.
"Man you're going to be better than me; man you're faster than me," Watkins told the young football players.
The Florida Stingrays are planning on holding another camp next month in Leigh Acres.

Melbourne Cup Odds – Betting Odds Comparison
The 2011 Emirates Melbourne Cup is the feature race thats ran during the Melbourne Cup Carnival. As un-Australian as it sounds to some, many people still ask "What date is the Melbourne Cup? Since the majority of Australian's still have to go to work on this day, its easy to forget, the Cup is held on the first Tuesday of November at 3:00pm EST each year (1st November, 2014), in fact many cups are held… drank out of… and smashed on that day. All due to the Victorian's taking advantage of their traditional Melbourne Cup public holiday and drinking a little to much.
Melbourne Cup odds and betting
The Melbourne Cup Carnival is Australia's best horse racing event, disputed by some of the specific world's greatest "fighters" for an award prize of about $6 million. The Melbourne cup which is famously known as the 'race that stops a nation,' the Assembly of this 13200 meter occasion is scrutinized by millions all over the world and is known as the"favorite" for both knowledgeable and unprofessional punters alike. The Melbourne Cup is held on annual basis by the Flemington Racetrack in the cosmopolitan city of Melbourne, and is the eye-catching entertainment of Victoria's Spring Racing Carnival.
Alike to the Grand National in the UK the Melbourne Cup is the lone competition in the Australian horse racing almanac which everyone likes to have a bet on. The nature of the contest, a twenty four sprinter two mile handicap competed at Flemington Racetrack means that it typically has fairly an open sense to the bookmaking, with only 34 preferences winning in approximately 150 runnings of the race.
The guidelines as they outlook for the Melbourne Cup in 2014 is that any horse(s) that is identified as "scratching" for the Melbourne Cup are removed from the arena and they are not substituted with any additional sprinters. Centre bet usually keeps all of punters informed through the newest news and any scratching from the Melbourne Cup as they occur.
