The kids' school does a skating night every other month. They have been skating 4 times now and are not the best skaters but they keep trying.
Jacob goes so s l o w l y ... he says it hurts too much to fall so he'd rather go slowly than get hurt. I understand.
Kaley is pretty fast and rarely falls. Her style is a bit unorthodox but that's part of what makes her "her".
Sam is quick. He takes a running start and doesn't mind falling. He'll get right back up determined to go faster. He says he likes it when he feels a bit out of control.
Luke falls a lot ... but he gets right back up again ... with a SMILE! He laughs and it doesn't even slow him down, doesn't dampen his excitement in the least.
Zoe is like a turtle. It takes her forever to get her 4 year old self around that rink and by the time she makes one loop, she's in a full out sweat. She too falls and gets right back up with the most determined face ever.
My role? I sit. Though I love to skate, I find it better if I'm there at a table ready with snacks and drinks. I can hear all their escapades. I can kiss any boo-boos. Then I send them right back out.
Tuesday night, we were skaking again. The next table over from me was a mother, grandmother, grandfather and 1st grader. (Same as Luke.) They were trying to coax him back on the floor. He'd fallen twice and was too embarassed to go back out. They didn't know I could hear them but they were pointing out MY kids to him as examples. "See that one? He keeps fallling and getting right back up." etc.
Eventually, after MUCH coaxing, he went back on the floor and started to have fun.
On the way home I told the kids what had happened. I told them that people were watching them and they had been able to help someone just by being themselves. I think a light went off in their heads. They had NO clue people were watching. They had NO clue they were good examples. *I* knew that. But now they know it too.
My point? People are ALWAYS watching. What message are you sending?

Thank you, Kenne! It was so reassuring knowing that Lula and Finn were in excellent hands. The updates and pictures were great. We will definitely be looking forward to more trips knowing Kenne will take great care of our pups!
What an excellent pet sitter and person!
Kenne did a most awesome job! Not just making sure everyone was fed and had water, she went the extra mile! The litter box was so clean! And the area around it was spotless! The house smelled nice! She was there when she said she would be and kept in touch. Not only a great and awesome pet sitter but a kind and sweet person. I wish she ...
Kenne is amazing. She was immediately accepted by our two rescue pups who are normally very cautious with others. She put our babies at ease. She is very reliable and trustworthy. She's great about sending updates and pictures. We look forward to working with her more in the future

What Kenne would like to know about your dog

Monday, Aug. 20: It was finally starting to rain and clear the air of smoke as we rolled out of Whitefish. It was a welcome relief after weeks of hot dry weather. There was very little traffic over Marias Pass and we made good time. After stopping for lunch in East Glacier, we continued on to Cut Bank, which would be our base camp for three nights. We set up camp at a small RV park overlooking Cut Bank Creek. According to local history, Lewis and Clark camped at or very near this spot in 1804. It was very windy but we had a great view of the railroad trestle. We could watch trains and beautiful sunsets at the same time. On the down side, we had no internet access and marginal cell phone service. The computer age was slow to arrive in Cut Bank. However, we did find a Super 8 motel with Wi-Fi and were able to check our email in their parking lot.
Tuesday, Aug. 21: We took a day trip to the small town of Hingham, about 100 miles east of Cut Bank. Hingham is another significant place in Ron's family history and he hadn't been there in decades. The Kindschy family moved to Hingham from South Dakota around 1900, established a farm and raised 12 kids. One of the 6 daughters was Olivia, Ron's grandmother on his mom's side. All members of the Kindschy family eventually went their separate ways. The big old barn, pig pens, chicken coops, farm implements, windmill, and animals are all gone now and the driveway is knee high in dry prairie grass. But the old farmhouse still stands. It's boarded up and probably beyond repair, but it's still there and not yet eroded away by time and the elements. Ron was lucky to have experienced this house in the 1950s when it was full of activity, family life and good times. Now, it's sad to see it standing alone and silent against the wind and amid the amber waves of Montana grain.

This morning it's so cold and windy ~! 40 degrees and the wind is just blowing away.. The birds are having a hard time landing on the birdfeeders. Have been watching the Eagle in Decorah, Iowa.. There is a web cam someone has there and you can watch the eagle 24/7 with her 3 baby eaglets.. They are so cute... The wind is so strong today ~you can actually see the tree swaying ... Kind of eery.. Just type in your browser: eagle cam Decorah Iowa.. Have been so busy organizing the Women's Retreat that my friend ,Holly and I are getting ready to have this week-end.. We have it at this wonderful campfire boy/girls camp called Hiataga... Went up yesterday and got the lodge all set up with the tables and decorations.. It looked so nice when we left.. Today we are going up at noon to get the rest of our things laid out and set up so we will be ready for the girls to come this afternoon at 5:30.. We have wonderful things planned for these ladies that are coming . I'm quite excited~!. Our theme this year is "From Ashes to Beauty"... Isaiah 61:1-3. Yesterday a gal from our church, Chris Brown came to help us set up.. What a wonderful girl.. We had such a great time decorating and getting things ready.. Usually Holly and I do this all by ourselves SO it was so nice to get help. Plus Holly's two children Nathan age 12 and Caryn age 10 was there to help us.. Extra arms we so wonderful in getting things done. Computer is still in the shop and I now have this laptop that I got from my daughter, Jodie.. I have had it for quite a few years but thought it was too old to set up for the Internet . The other day I got it out , called my Internet server and they walked me through this computer on how to set it up to be able to get on the computer.. Ta Da~! it's working.. The battery underneath gets very hot so I got a cold pack from the freezer and laid it underneath where the battery is located and it's keeping things cool... Cory, Ben's dad called me this morning and said Ben had the flu last night.. Throwing up and diarrhea. I told Cory this was his first time ever in having the flu.. He said Ben last night was scared when he threw up.. I bet he was.. Poor thing.. His other Gramma , Joann came today to take care of him.. Thank God for Grammas.. He said this morning he was feeling a little better.. He will be with Cory until Sunday evening and then comes back to Tracie's house.. Ben's mama.. Ben is talking more and more everyday and now he says WHY after everything you tell him. and there is no satisfying answer.. he alwasy come back with WHY>>> Yikes.. Read the book Broken and that was a wonderful book.. I would rate this book in my list of top #10 books I have read.. It was that good. It was written by Laura Hillenbrand. She wrote the book Sea Biscuit.. I'm now reading a book called "From A name to A number. " written by Alter Wiener- A Holocaust survivor's autobiography... It's a really good book. Reading my devotion this morning it was talking about our Spiritual Growth.. Sometimes we have personal problems and thinking "I can overcome this I'll be okay. The good news is by God's grace you can overcome it... When you've overcome a personal problem another one is waiting to take it's place. One is always going to be working on something. Spiritual growth is a work in progress.. And it doesn't come through human effort, self-condemnation, or the white -knuckling works of the flesh.. IT comes as a result of spending time in prayer and having your mind renewed daily by His Word. As you agree with God, believing what He says is true,,change automatically happens.. One starts to think differently, talk differently and act differently.. Be patient with yourself; its a process that develops in stages.. Would you think there was something wrong with your child because thy couldn't walk perfectly on the first few tries? No, you're delighted each time they take a step. Whey they fall you pick them up. When they mess up, you clean them up and encourage them to try again.. You never stop working with them. And God does the same with us.. He's not angry because we haven't arrived.. He's pleased that were pressing on, endeavoring to stay on the path. It's God's job to "cause us to be governed by the Holy Spirit".. 2 Cor. 3:8. If you could do it by yourself you wouldn't need Him. So instead of driving yourself harder and harder , start leaning on God more and more and you'll go from strength to strength. Ps. 84:7 Have a great day.. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind... Romans 12:2 Have a Tiggeriffic Day~! Ta Ta For Now...from Iowa:)

Eating Broccoli Reduces Risk of Heart Attack
Monday, August 04, 2008 by: David Gutierrez | Key concepts: broccoli, antioxidant and vegetables
Researchers fed an extract of steamed broccoli to a group of rats for one month, then compared those rats to others that had been fed a standard diet. They found that the rats that had been fed the steamed broccoli extract had better heart function than those who had not. In addition, when all the rats were deprived of oxygen, those who had been fed steamed broccoli extract suffered less damage to their hearts and those who had been fed the standard diet.
The researchers observed that when the rats ate the broccoli extract, their body increased its production of several antioxidant proteins. Antioxidants are chemicals that remove free radicals from the body.
While free radicals play important roles in the body and are produced through normal processes such as eating and breathing, excessive levels can cause cell damage that leads to heart disease, cancer and the effects of aging.
"We are increasingly finding that 'redox proteins,' which counter the effects of oxidization, have an important role in the body's defense against heart disease," said researcher Dipak Das. "However, if broccoli is over-cooked it loses a lot of its protective effect."
Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, radish and Brussels sprouts are known to be high in antioxidants, and many studies have shown that increased consumption of these vegetables text against heart disease and cancer. Broccoli is known to contain a chemical called sulforaphane, which causes the body to produce heart-protecting proteins.
The researchers are now investigating whether the antioxidants contained in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli can also provide a protective benefit against other diseases.

I get silent migraines or migraines with aura without headache. I've had a brain MRI and have a specialist that does my eye exams every year but basically they don't know what causes them, don't have a cure, and can't really explain much. I get them so randomly and far between that there's nothing I can think of that triggers them. I'm always out somewhere which is a huge inconvenience because I'm basically incapacitated (i.e. can't really see) for about an hour. My favorite is when it happens while driving. Thankfully I can tell it's coming and have about 3-5 minutes to get off the road. I've tried to explain what it looks like with pics. It's sort of a combination of the pixelated pics I show below and looking through a car window covered in rain drops.
So here's me looking at Skyler:
Then I realize there's a swirly moving dot in the center of my vision (doesn't matter which eye. I could close either and still see the same thing)
Then the swirly dot gets bigger and starts to move left.
For awhile there I can't see anything in the middle of my field of vision. It's all swirly and some things are just not there at all. Then it sort of fades to the edges.
This all takes about an hour and leaves my eyes feeling tired, like they've had a good cry. I don't generally get a headache which is fanfuckingtastic, but it's annoying nonetheless. Last night I was running errands and realized that I couldn't really focus on a dot in the center of my vision. I blinked a few times, swore, and went to sit in my car. I didn't feel comfortable sitting in the mall not being able to see and my only option is waiting it out. Thankfully I was alone.
Apparently this is somewhat common or at least not entirely uncommon. There are entire websites devoted to migraine aura art where people attempt to show what they see. Apparently although your visions will generally be the same, they vary completely from person to person. Do you get migraines?

From PrayTell Blog:
Today's O Antiphon relates directly to the experience of the Solstice, especially — but perhaps not exclusively — north of the equator. O Oriens! The antiphon on the Magnificat for today's Vespers conjures images not of the evening, but of the morning. As a noun, today's "O" is Daybreak, Dawn, Sunrise and Morning Star; as a verbal participle it is rising, originating, creating and birthing. Both grammatical forms suggest powerful imagery as we approach the feast of the Nativity of the Lord.
For those who for whom the past few weeks have marked the gradual decrease in daylight hours, today's Solstice comes as a turning point. It is the beginning of the slow march toward Springtime and Easter. Today's antiphon, situated on the Solstice, is a liturgical recognition of the change of season: the dawning of a new day, the gradual increasing of the daylight hours, the movement from the "shadow of death" toward the light of life.
For those in the Southern Hemisphere, of course, the slow march toward winter begins again today. Today's antiphon comes as a promise that, however dark earths seasons may become, light will indeed increase again in time, the cycle repeating itself through the changing seasons, until that "dawn from on high will break upon us" once and for all.
This antiphon also suggests a challenge, by way of a certain anticipated eschatology. Note the connection between the Dawning or Daybreak and the Sun of Justice — "the sun of righteousness" that "shall rise, with healing in its wings" (Mal 4:2). The connection between the coming of the light and the power of healing (here meaning the sort of healing that comes with the Reign of God — wholeness, peace and security, well-being) is found elsewhere in Scripture. Its revelation follows upon our doing of justice, our participation in the making the Reign of God a present reality for the poor, the oppressed, the marginalized and the outcast:
Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of injustice, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover them, and not to hide yourself from your own kin? Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up quickly; your vindicator shall go before you, the glory of the Lord shall be your rearguard. (Isaiah 58:6-8, NRSV)

Air lift leaves from Brindisi
A humanitarian aid flight for victims of this month's devastating Typhoon Haiyan left for the central Philippines from Brindisi in southern Italy, the foreign ministry announced on Wednesday.
Aboard the plane were 42.5 tonnes of basic items including tents and emergency shelters, cannisters to transport drinking water, water purification equipment, electrical generators, medical supplies and portable toilets.
Italy's overseas aid department and the Italian charity Intersos have provided the emergency items, the foreign ministry said.
It is the third air lift to the Philippines organised by the United Nations World Food Programme's depot in Brindisi on behalf of the Italian government after earlier flights from Dubai and Malaysia.
Staff from Italy's embassy in Manila and Intersos as well as ministry officials aboard the flight will oversee the unloading and distribution of its cargo when it lands on Cebu, the Italian foreign minstry said.Cebu and the neighbouring island of Leyte were close to Haiyan's path and were among the areas worst hit by the typhoon.Typhoon
Haiyan killed more than 4,000 people when it tore through the Philippines on 8 November, with winds gusting up to 270 kilometres per hour.The strong winds also contributed to a storm surge, which sent a wall of water crashing through some low-lying areas close to the typhoon's path. The storm surge reached its height at Tacloban on Leyte, devastating the city.
The UN estimates around 11 million people have been affected by the storm.Further flights organised jointly by Italy's overseas aid department, the UN and the European Union are scheduled in the coming weeks, the Italian foreign ministry said.Major nations have so far pledged over $660 million dollars in aid for the disaster.

Has the political struggle of M.K. Gandhi made him a figure of a true soul in India?
The soul of India's independence is M.K. Gandhi. He was one of the most important personalities who had been able to decolonize this country without any bloodshed. On account of this he deserved several praises.
Martin Luther King Junior considered Gandhi as a figure of a true soul and the apostle of non-violence in India. In the words of the great scientist Sir Albert Einstein, Gandhi was praised in the following words:
"Generations to come will scarcely believe that such a man in flesh and blood ever walked on the Earth."
Politics according to Gandhi was not a competition in which people can win and loose. In fact, Gandhi had always used politics for the welfare of this fellow-beings. He had even merged politics with religion in order to help his people live in a country which was already invaded by colonial rule. On account of this, Gandhi was called a politician among the saints and a saint among politicians.
During that time, there were occasional civil disobedience in India. Had Gandhi not used politics, he would have never been able to stop civil disobedience in India. As a result his politics was to infuse the spirit of Satyagraha in the minds of his people in order to stop them from revolting against the British. This shows that Gandhi had used a non-violent politics so that his people are not victimizes by civil disobedience or civil wars.
Even in South Africa, Gandhi has used a different type of politics. Consequently, Gandhi made a struggle in order to save the blacks from the rigid policy of racial discrimination, Apartheid. Thus, like several politicians, Gandhi was sentenced to jail but he was sincere in his struggle as a true divine politician. Gandhi had used politics in South Africa in order to eradicate the spirit of discrimination between the whites and the blacks.
Several times, when Gandhi would stand on the platform with the microphone in his hand, his messages were meant for the welfare of the Indians. Gandhi had never used politics in order to earn the votes of the masses for his own name and fame. Most of the time he used politics so as to infuse the lofty teachings of Hinduism to the masses. Hence, religion with politics without religion is nothing.
In most of the struggle of M.K. Gandhi, he seemed to have used politics. Even fasting can be considered as a political technique in order to give the Indians their rights in society. This is why Gandhi had always preferred to fast rather than resorting to civil disobedience. This means that he had used politics in a very fruitful way.
On several occasions, Gandhi made appeals with the British government to give the Indians their rights in their country. Unfortunately, the appeals of Gandhi were not all recognized by the British. As a result, Gandhi had to make use of politics in order to accomplish the wish of the Indians. His politics was completely devoid of violence. He had even assembled thousands of his followers for the salt march so as to break the monopoly of salt which was in the hands of the British. Therefore, Gandhi had always used the positive aspects of politics.
Therefore, as the soul of India's independence the politics of Gandhi should be an inspiration to several leaders and politicians in this world. It can be said that Gandhi had preached humanitarian politics for the welfare of his people. It is somehow very difficult to believe how Gandhi had achieved the independence of his country without any arm or weapon. In fact, the magical instrument that Gandhi used for independence was his politics.

The Sad Alpha Male
Loads of confusion on my last post, so here are some expansions to my line of thought.
Let us first clear the air on what is an Alpha Male? The Alpha Male, to begin with is a very limited construct that is associated only with evolved Predators, more specifically those that hunt in Packs or those where there is a tougher struggle for survival (resource, i.e. Food crunch being the chief cause of the same). In general, it implies males who can lead (the reason for the sexual discrimination being the muscle power of the male). The Rabbits don't have alpha males, neither do doves, nor do lizards or others in similar classes of species; Wolves have them, as do Several other hunting classes.
If we were to speak of an Alpha Male in the Human Species; which, in my opinion and probably the most controversial point in the entire post, classifies under both a species facing the fight for survival as well as is uncannily similar to a hunting species; we would be speaking of Men who have greater mental capabilities – for the humans, it hardly depends on the Muscle power any more.
More on this soon… When I have time from work, that is…
The Poor Alpha Male
There are quite a few behaviour of the human species that baffle me completely. It separates them from the usual behaviour of the Animal kingdom. One such is the completely unexplainable mating behaviour of theirs. While in every other Species, it is the easiest for the Alpha Male to find a mate, it is the stark opposite for the human species. Most alpha men are single while a very significant portion of the normal ones find mates very easily.
It shall be felony to classify directly but I have been thinking on it and it is just possible that it is the sexual revolution 2.0 that is responsible for this. Some psychological changes (beyond the scope of this post) have led to what I believe is a new construction – the alpha female. Psychologically alike to the Alpha Male, she is powerful as well, in most realizations of the adjective atleast. The problem now arises – Alpha males want the best they've got and the Alpha Females are most definitely not going to be easy to get, in fact the alpha females seek their own mates.
Any more theories?

With the recent publication of the most and least stressful jobs, I suppose that it makes sense that there would also be a list of the types of jobs that attract psychopaths.
These are the jobs that rate the highest:
Highest Rates of Psychopathy
- Lawyer
- Media (Television/Radio)
- Salesperson
- Surgeon
- Journalist
- Police Officer
- Clergy person
- Chef
- Civil Servant
Now, I was not surprised to find that librarians did not make this list, but then our profession did not make the bottom ten either (those with the lowest level of psychopathy):
- Care Aide
- Nurse
- Therapist
- Craftsperson
- Beautician/Stylist
- Charity Worker
- Teacher
- Creative Artist
- Doctor
- Accountant
Kenneth Dutton, author of The Wisdom of Psychopaths: What Saints, Spies, and Serial Killers Can Teach Us About Success, states that once we dissociate the word "psychopath" from the word "killer," we can see that an element of good old-fashioned psychopathy can be quite helpful in the road to success. After all, the psychopath is fearless, charming, and persuasive. He/She doesn't procrastinate or take things personally when things go wrong. Of course, the whole lack of conscience or empathy can be a bit disturbing but often effective.
Still, even granting that psychopathy has its positive qualities, it's hard to imagine that libraries would attract many psychopaths. At least, at my college, we library people admit to procrastinating. We take failure extremely personally. We can be kind and gracious to people who need help, but we would rather stay in our cubicles than simply be charming for charming's sake. And since we spend a great deal of time trying to encourage students to use scholarly articles instead of Wikipedia, I would argue that, many days, we don't feel very persuasive.
Still, that doesn't mean just because we're not sociopaths, we're don't have our moments. When I meet people at parties (the few times a decade I'm actually invited to a party), there are two basic responses when I tell them I work in a library:
One: "Oh, I love librarians. They helped me so much on my research on (fill in the blank)." Or "Librarians are the nicest, most helpful people."
Two: "Librarians! This really mean librarian scarred me for life." Sometimes the stories are decades old. One friend tells of being reprimanded for choosing the 'wrong' books the day it was his turn, as a second grader, to roll the red cart to the library and bring it back filled with books for his classmates. Some have more recent tales. One colleague remembers going to another college library to do some research. When he left, he somehow set off the alarm, and the librarian who confronted him refused to believe that he didn't have a book or magazine hidden somewhere on his person.
Perhaps the lesson here is that people's impressions of libraries are formed long before they meet us. Therefore, although we may not have Jason or Freddie Krueger working with us, we can still scare students away with a careless answer or a brusque response.

As most Evangelicals don't get the opportunity to attend Mormon sacrament meetings, Eric suggested I post this in an effort to help non-Mormons gain an insight into a typical Sunday morning service at a Mormon ward house. I've posted plenty of sermons from my own church so I thought it only fair to give this talk some air play.
For those who don't know, Mormons use lay ministry to perform all of their ministry work at the local level. On Sunday mornings they perform a Sacrament meeting, where the entire ward meets together to participate in the Lord's Supper. In addition, the Bishop invites several members to give a brief talk on a subject that he assigns to them.
This is a video and subject Eric was asked to speak on.
One of the most well-known sayings of Jesus is from the gospel of Matthew and comes from early in his ministry. Come to me, he told told his disciples, all of you are are labor and are heavy-laden. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me. My yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
His message holds true today:
My yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
But how many of us really believe that? Or are we like the Pharisees Jesus spoke against, who led a burdensome life always attempting to find salvation in following their strict understanding of the law?
For many of us, it doesn't seem that the yoke of Jesus is easy, or that the burden is light. It often seems like we always fall short. Whether it's reading the scriptures or feeding the poor, being kind to our family or merely carrying out the assignments we have been given, it always seems that there is more to do. Instead of checking things off our to-do list, we add to it. Jesus told us to be perfect, and we're far from it.
But Jesus said:
My yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Jesus also said that we should follow him. What does that have to do with a light burden?
To quote Lawrence Corbridge of the Seventy:
We might think we can't really follow Him because the standard of His life is so astonishingly high as to seem unreachable. We might think it is too hard, too high, too much, beyond our capacity, at least for now.
Probably all of us have felt like that.
So if what we're supposed to attain seems unreachable, where is the light burden? Elder Corbridge gave us the answer:
In life we learn that the highest achievements in any human endeavor are always the most difficult and, therefore, achievable only by a select few who are most able. The higher the standard, the fewer can reach it.
But that is not the case here because, unlike every other experience in this life, this is not a human endeavor. It is, rather, the work of God. …
No institution, plan, program, or system ever conceived by men has access to the redeeming and transforming power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ and the gift of the Holy Ghost. Therefore, while the Lord's invitation to follow Him is the highest of all, it is also achievable by everyone, not because we are able, but because He is, and because He can make us able too.
The problem that we face is that we are constantly tempted to take up on ourselves the burdens of life by ourselves, trying to find salvation, making it into a human endeavor, depending on our own good works rather than the work that Jesus Christ accomplished for us in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the cross.
Such efforts are bound to fail. No matter how hard any of us try, we cannot save ourselves. We need everything that God offers us through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
Jesus never promised us that our burdens would go away, at least not in this lifetime. But he did promise to lighten them. One way is by giving us strength: As President Henry Eyring recently said:
Increased spiritual strength is a gift from God which He can give when we push in His service to our limits. Through the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, our natures can be changed. Then our power to carry burdens can be increased more than enough to compensate for the increased service we will be asked to give.
Similar thoughts were expressed by a former Relief Society president, Chieko Okazaki:
All of us face different family circumstances and home situations. All of us need strength in dealing with them. This strength comes from faith in the Savior's love and in the power of his atonement. If we trustingly put our hand in the Savior's, we can claim the promise of the sacramental prayer to always have his Spirit with us. All problems are manageable with that strength, and all other problems are secondary in urgency to maintaining a strong spiritual life.
There's a good scriptural word for this gift of strength, and that is "grace." It's related to mercy, to kindness, to the true love of Christ. Grace is what allowed our Savior to give the gift of the Atonement.
If we look at the scriptural teachings about grace, we can can see that it isn't up to us to save ourselves, but up to God. God's grace comes first, and God's grace does for us what we can't do for ourselves.
Is a response to grace called for on our part? Definitely. The great prophet Jacob in the Book of Mormon called us to be reconciled to the will of God — because it is only in and through the grace of God that we are saved, and he said that takes place through the power of the Atonement.
The great prophet Nephi also called us to be reconciled to God. After everything we can do, he said, it is by grace we are saved. After everything we can do, we cannot save ourselves, and it is foolish to take upon ourselves that burden. After everything we can do, it is still grace that saves us.
Similar thoughts were echoed by the great apostle Paul some years later. For by grace are you saved through faith, he wrote, not of yourselves, it is a gift of God. Again, we alone don't have the burden of salvation, of becoming perfect, complete, mature as our Father in heaven is. That burden has been taken over for us through grace, a gift of God.
Unfortunately, there are many followers of Christ in our world who quit quoting Paul at that point. But what did Paul go on to say? He said that the reason we receive grace is because we are God's workmanship, created to do good works. We receive grace, Paul wrote, so we can do the good works he has given us to do.
As we put our faith in Christ, he works in us to change our will, to change our desires. In the words of Elder Joseph P. Wirthlin:
When we love the Lord, obedience ceases to be a burden. Obedience becomes a delight. When we love the Lord, we seek less for things that benefit us and turn our hearts toward things that will bless and uplift others.
This truth was stated another way recently by President Dieter Uchtdorf:
When we hear the transcendent truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ, hope and faith begin to blossom inside of us. The more we fill our hearts and minds with the message of the risen Christ, the greater our desire is to follow Him and live His teachings. This, in turn, causes our faith to grow and allows the light of Christ to illuminate our hearts. As it does, we recognize the imperfections in our lives, and we desire to be cleansed of the depressing burdens of sin.
This is how grace works.
The words of Jesus and the words of the prophets have made clear: As we put our faith in Christ, as we trust him to fulfill the promise of the Atonement, He will give us the strength, will and desire to ease the burdens of life, to be free from the guilt of sin, and to fully love others as He loved us. We're not promised that life will be easy, but we are promised grace that gives us the strength to deal with what life brings us.
I speak in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, Amen.

The Beautiful Ashes by Jeaniene Frost
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Ivy is the new Cat!!!!!!! This may be my favorite book yet!!! Jeaniene does it once more and now I'm addicted again. My heart was broken when Nighthuntress ended. But Ivy and Adrian more than make up for my loss. This time I think there may be more danger set upon the world but I have faith that not only will Ivy save the world but she will break the destiny of doom for Adrian. They may be a few betrayals along the way but I have faith that they will save the world and break their doomed destinies. One of my most favorite things that Jeaniene's books have is the heroine she is always this bad ass don't take shit kinda girl. She doesn't need a man to come in and save her she's got this!!! Another great book. Wish I didn't have to wait for book two sigh.

Google SketchUp 8 released
SketchUp 8 is stuffed with new and improved features
Because almost everything is somewhere
Whether you're designing in context, creating a shadow study or photo-modeling existing structures, SketchUp 8 provides easy access to Google's huge collection of geographic resources.
Model geo-location with Google Maps
We've built Maps right into SketchUp. Adding a geo-location to your model is now an elegant, one-app process.
Color imagery and more accurate terrain
The snapshot you get when you add a geo-location to your model now includes 3D terrain data that's more accurate, and -- for the first time -- aerial imagery in color.
Match Photo improvements
Our Match Photo feature lets you trace one or more photographs to build a model; it's an incredibly powerful tool. For SketchUp 8, we've tweaked some things to make using Match Photo easier than ever.
SketchUp, meet Building Maker
When it comes to modeling existing buildings, it's hard to beat Google Building Maker for speed and efficiency. We've made it simpler to open and refine Building Maker models in SketchUp. Watch a video
Watch a video about modeling in context with SketchUp 8
More great things about SketchUp 8
They have spent months building powerful new tools, fine-tuning functionality and making sure SketchUp 8 continues to be the most intuitive 3D modeler on the planet.
Watch a video about the Solid Tools
Scene Thumbnails
Wouldn't it be nice if the Scenes Panel included little image previews of the scenes in your model? Your wish is our command.
Back Edges
Turn these on to see your model's obscured edges as dashed lines. A great alternative to Wireframe or X-Ray mode when you need to be able to see through your model.
Angular Dimensions in LayOut PRO
By popular demand, we've equipped LayOut 3 with a dedicated tool for creating angular dimensions.
Push/Pull pre-selected faces
Select a face, then push/pull; it works just like the rest of SketchUp's modification tools. Super handy when you don't want to change your point of view.
Calculate volumes
Entity Info now displays the volume of any solid in your model. Volumes are also included in reports you generate with SketchUp Pro.
Outer Shell
Automatically generate a shape that completely encloses two or more solids in your model. It's a little like shrink-wrapping your geometry. Did someone say 3D printing?
SketchUp Pro 8 supports the DWG/DXF 2010 format for importing and exporting vector data for your models.
DWG/DXF export in LayOut PRO
Like to draft in LayOut? With this version, you can share your LayOut 3 drawings as files that any CAD system or 3D modeler (including SketchUp Pro) can open.
Dashed lines are configurable in LayOut PRO
Not finding what you need in LayOut's library of dashed line styles? Now you can adjust things to make your own.
Precise Move in LayOut PRO
We've arranged for the center grip on every element to do double duty: In addition to rotation, you can place it wherever you like to establish a custom "snap point" for putting things exactly where you want them.
Watch a video about improvements they have made to drafting in LayOut

"God has a plan to bring justice to the world, and his plan is us. There is no back-up plan." Gary Hougen
We all wonder about our lives, at least from time-to-time. We wonder if they matter. We wonder if we make a difference. We wonder if we are doing something with our lives. Gary Hougen reminds us in the quote that we are a vital part of God's plan. In fact, God is depending on us to be the workers for God's kingdom. Us. We are the plan. We are the ones who are called to point to God, offer hope, peace, and love, and bring justice and mercy to the world. Whew! Do you feel up to it?
I confess that sometimes the challenge and responsibility of the call seems overwhelming. I'm just me, as the song goes. Who am I to change the world, offer mercy, oppose injustice, and be a part of God's plan?
The truth is that on my own, I am just me. However, when I am a vessel of the Holy Spirit, then all things are possible. I don't have to try to do things on my own. God is relying on my and you to be open to the power available to us. Alone we can do very little, but with God all things are possible. Today, let us be a part of God's plan, realizing that we, with the power of God, can do great things.

A Perfect Time For Everything Hawkeyes
By Patrick Sojka
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- While many Hawkeye athletic seasons are heading toward their final stretch, today marks the start of a new season, the I-Club Spring Banquet Tour. The Polk County I-Club Banquet will kick-off the start of the annual circuit tonight in Des Moines.
The annual tour offers a close-up preview of the upcoming season from University of Iowa coaches and staff at numerous locations throughout Iowa and the Midwest. More importantly, the banquets offer a great chance for the UI coaches and staff to thank the droves of Hawkeye fans that make the drive to Iowa City for Hawkeye events.

Although not a medical claim, Hendi by her tutor Hamed Hendi v Commonwealth of Australia [2016] NSWSC 210 may be a useful reference in medical claims with complex issues.
The proceedings had been issued in the NSW Supreme Court, with the claimant later applying for transfer to the District Court, to avoid any cost penalties arising from the potentially low quantum of the claim.
Noting that the defendant and each of the cross-defendants agreed (at the time of hearing the application) not to argue (by reference to Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 2005 (NSW) r. 42.34) that the plaintiffs ought, if successful, be deprived of their costs in the event that those four sets of proceedings remain, continue to be prosecuted and are completed in the Supreme Court, the application for transfer was refused.
The court noted at [9], having referred also to a likely need for the court to determine whether a non-delegable duty existed for persons in community detention:
….there are several sufficient reasons for hearing the proceedings in this Court, including: the potential complexity of the proceedings; and the circumstance that the plaintiffs, having regard to the defendant and cross-defendants' attitude on costs, will not be prejudiced by the matter remaining in the Supreme Court and may even receive a benefit in the form of an earlier hearing date.

In the first post, I pointed to the pooling of resources to provide a baseline of benefits for society as the first step of socialism. Surely, though, your work is your work, and pooling benefits just enables people who don't work and pull their weight to profit off of those who do. Well, not quite.
Marx would argue that we're already pooling our resources every day in capitalist society, but it's being done unconsciously and in a way that allows the owners to appropriate most of it. What I mean is this: any useful work a person does, no matter how individualistic, contributes to society as a whole. You make a product and sell it, that product is bought because it satisfies some need on the part of the person who buys it, and so contributes to the well being of that person and by extension society. On the job you provide a service, like serving as a checkout person at a supermarket or at a store. You check out products and answer questions, thereby facilitating people getting their stuff and getting the knowledge they need, which contributes to society getting along as a whole.
All work contributes to the well being of society, advances it, yet unless you own your own company or are an independent producer you don't really decide what value you get in return for providing those services. There are prevailing wages for different kinds of work, but it's all decided within the corporate structure, meaning that they're the wages that corporations are willing to pay you for your work as opposed to what you'd get if you had a hand in determining the value yourself, say if you owned part of a small company and had a say in what your wage might be. The two values, that decided by corporations and what the actual value of your work might be, may correspond, but they may not. Now, when the two don't correspond, that extra value goes somewhere, and it goes to the corporation, that uses it for its own purposes, which include building the business as well as profit and salaries for CEOs and executives.
Although corporate appropriation of value can be unfair, it brings up an interesting point, that is to say that if everyone got the exact value of their labor in return for their work, and all of it went solely for personal spending, there would be no money left over for investment in expanding companies or planning for the future. This can be seen in the case of people who are in business for themselves, making and selling their own products: they quickly find out that they if they want to stay in business they have to save money and put it back in the business and not take the maximum for themselves.
Because of this, having everyone just get the full value of their labor back, while fair, would likely lead to economic collapse. What's needed is for some of that value to be pooled for common ends, decided on democratically. Businesses, or places of work, individually would have money available to grow themselves, but the money that in our system goes towards profits distributed to the owners or shareholders, or to CEOs as salaries and bonuses, or to executives and higher management as inflated salaries, would go to society as a whole to be used for purposes that benefit everyone, and would not be personally appropriated by anyone.
on edit: alternatively, a lot of that money would or could first go back to the workers themselves, but folks would hopefully decide to voluntarily reinvest it in society for social ends.

book review - Dragon's Fire
As promised, as I read the books that are on my list I will give a short review. The latest read was Dragon's Fire, another collabortion between Anne McCaffrey and her son Todd. Todd obviously has lots of ideas for where he wants the series to go and we are being introduced to different elements of Pern.
In their previous book, Dragon's Kin, it was the watch whers. In this one it's a discourse on stone with some delving into murder, thievery, and other unsavory aspects of human character.
I also wonder if there are any other handicaps coming up but won't say more because I don't want to give anything away. I will say that the first time was okay, the second time was trite and if there is a third time where someone with a particular handicap overcomes that handicap to become something that would otherwise be impossible (due to their handicap) I will be disappointed. Anne herself wrote about it in her short story "The Girl Who Heard Dragons" but it got carried a bit further in these last two books.
I confess that overall I liked the story but mostly I think it was because I like the whole world of Pern. I was disappointed that some of the events in the book seemed contrived and, as with the last one, the ending winds up feeling very rushed. One thing I did like a lot about the book was how parts of it parrallelled the previous book. Unfortunately I found lots of odd shifts in the story line and suspect that they are there simply to provide openings into future books rather than because they really add to the story line.
One more in the "new" series to go.

It is kind of reminiscent of a Bolognaise, or at least Bolognaise the way is it generally interpreted in Australia - rich, tomato-ey and meaty. Regardless, it is the perfect thing for a winter night, especially a lazy Sunday, because although it takes a while, you don't have to do much for most of that time, it just bubbles away, making the house smell delicious. Although the recipe says it serves 4, it looks like it would easily serve a small army, or 6 at least - after FH Alphie and I have eaten, there is always a lot more than half left. And, if you are the cook and washer-upper (which is my status, currently), you only dirty one knife, chopping board, pot & spoon. And the cupboards & floor, if, like me, you have an incident with the red wine...
One pot pasta
serves 4-6, see above.
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 tbs rosemary leave, finely chopped
- 500g beef mince
- 250ml red wine
- 750ml beef stock
- 2 tbs tomato paste
- 500ml tomato passata
- 2 tsp caster sugar
- 1 bay leaf
- 500g small pasta shapes (shells are best, as they 'hold' the sauce, but any small shapes will do)
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 tbs chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
- parmesan, to serve
Heat oil in a large, heavy based saucepan (I used a cast iron Le Chasseur pot), and cook onion until soft (1-2 minutes). Add garlic & rosemary, and cook for 1 minute. Then add beef and cook for 5 minutes, or until browned.
Add the wine, stock, tomato paste, passata, sugar & bay leaf. Season, and bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
Add pasta and 25oml boiling water, and cook until pasta is al dente. Stir it frequently once the pasta is in because it will stick. Stir in peas and allow to heat through.
Stir through parsley, and serve with parmesan, and a glass of red wine!

Morning lovelies,
WG - hope the cervix check goes well. Not the most pleaseant thing for a Thursday but hopefully it will ease the worry so you can enjoy your seaside weekend.
NB - your weekend sounds lovely. Hope you have a nice one with your H and enjoy sorting the baby stuff!
AFM - I finally have a working phone and our redundancy has been delayed again so now the earliest they can boot me out is the 27th June. I was planning on taking leave from the 11th July so it won't make too much difference woohoo!! This has been a good week in the Jones household!
Going home to my parents this weekend. Also by the seaside. I cannot wait! It's a massive 7 hour drive so we only go twice a year so I am muchos excited. All my friends from school are all back too so we are having a massive meet up on Sunday. Not sure how much I will get on but now my wonder phone can actually connect to the internet there is more hope of me joining in on a weekend.
Hi to those that follow

I'm blind and did not see this thread at all!
WG - hope you get some answers this afternoon. I had a lot of bleeding earlier in the pregnancy and it was from my cervix. They can't really do anything about it but it is nice to know it isn't from the womb or baby.
Nina - Enjoy the baby sorting and your day off with H x
Jonesy - good ness about the work finish date, very pleased for you. I hope that mega drive isn't too bad and the Easter traffic behaves for you x
AFM - I've been a bit of a rubbish MDer this week -sorry! I hope you're all well. I am off today until next Wednesday for Easter holidays - yay! Can't wait for a few days off with H.
I also really need to stop eating easter chocolate! I've put on 1.5lb this week, my first gain of the pregnancy, I guess this is the start of a lot more lbs to pile of as the babies grow (and my butt if I keep scoffing chocolate!).
17/04/2014 at 11:33
Morning all,
WG - shame your MW hasn't called you back, but glad you took matters into your own hands. Let us know how you get on with the GP.
NB - enjoy your weekend with H and sorting through baby clothes! How exciting!
Jonesy - great news on the redundancy front. Your weekend sounds lovely. Hope the drive isn't too bad!
Ducky - an extra long weekend for you! Hope you have a good one. I've been really into my chocolate lately, normally I can take it or leave it. Need to do more exercise as I have put quite a bit on recently.
AFM - had my physio appointment this morning. They've given me some tips aswell as exercises to do 3 times a day (plus pelvic floor 6 times a day!!!) so I have no idea when I'll get time to do anything else. I've also been given a support belt for when I'm walking etc which might make a difference. Operation clean and tidy house is on as my friends arrive tonight! X

I made those.
Not the prettiest cupcakes ever, but I am pretty sure I had a
No really. Not like a metaphorical one, like how I used to reference the Ultimate Burger from Dairy Queen as an "orgasm in a box." I actually had the neurological response of an orgasm in response to these cupcakes. They were that good.
I got inspired by Bake it in a Cake to create cupcakes with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Miniatures in the center. Megan put them in banana cupcakes, but I think there is an obvious argument for devil's food here. That's what I went with along with the peanut butter buttercream frosting she put on a brownie with a Take 5 bar inside.
This was a somewhat massive undertaking relative to the total lack of baking I've been doing lately so I actually got everything ready before I started. I'm sure my dad would be proud if he actually read blogs and knew that. I only have one cupcake/muffin pan so I busted out the mini-bundt pan we got as a present (Thanks Jamie!). I even opened all those little Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Miniatures in advance.
I did not however finish cleaning up dinner before I started hence the Crock Pot on the counter.
I mixed up devil's food cake batter from a box and followed the general Bake it in a Cake process (a heaping tablespoon of batter, whatever is going in the center, and another heaping tablespoon of batter on top. The whole process took maybe ten minutes.
Did you notice anything wrong with those miniatures I opened?
There were 25.
and there are only 24 cupcakes in two pans. This little guy got left behind. I felt bad for him, all alone on the plate after everyone else landed a spot inside a cupcake. He's still there. It's almost tragic.
I figured I must have used a bit more batter than I should have because I used just about every last smear of batter and ran out with three mini-bundts left half done.
Baking confirmed my suspicions. They were a tad overfull. Result: cupcakes with muffin tops. Not so bad really.
I debated between using the Bake it in a Cake peanut butter buttercream recipe and the one from my Betty Crocker cookbook.
The proportions were totally different, but I decided to give Megan's a try and I could not be happier. I usually think buttercream tastes a little too much like powdered sugar. This doesn't. It's perfect. It's basically one part butter, one part peanut butter and two parts powdered sugar with a teaspoon of vanilla.
The perfect peanut butter buttercream frosting recipe for 24 cupcakes is
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup butter
2 cups powdered sugar.
I cut one open. It's almost required when something awesome is in the center of a cupcake and you can't see it any other way. The peanut butter cup was a little low in that one (it was dead center in the one I ate), but I wasn't willing to cut another just to get a better picture.
Best. Cupcakes. Ever.

I have many things for today's list for which I'm thankful.
1) I quit working Wednesdays at my second job as of last night. I'm hopeful that I can quit Saturdays here in a few weeks.
2) It's fall!
3) I came home last night after a long day to find the upstairs totally clean and organized.
4) What I missed last night was that I had flowers waiting for me in the kitchen from *B*.
5) I broke down and finally registered for the wedding. Nothing big, just a few things.
6) I have 72 days until my wedding, which is just over 2 months. The end is in sight!

Why these stories about the Clintons?
Last week, the New York Times published a pretty pointless and vapid feature about the Clintons that seemed to suggest they have a "cold," marriage. We're supposed to care becayse Hillary might run for President in 2008 and because Gore might run too and because there is a sense in the air that the reaction to 8 years of Bush will result in popular nostalgia to return to Clinton's pretty effective tenure in office.
The Times story has sparked a lot of discussion about whether or not the media is tougher on Democrats than Republicans and about why Bush, who has now brought us into two wars, one on a dubious pretext, and who might be leading us to a third with Iran, has gotten an easier ride in the press than Clinton did, and that the Clintons are even getting now. If you want to see the whole debate ably presented in one lengthy, but well written article, click these words because Jamison Foser at Media Matters has done just that.
Ironically, Media Matters is the organization set up by the reformed David Brock, who brought the consverative magazine, "The American Spectator" to prominence in the 1990s by writing dishonest attack articles on Anita Hill and on the Clintons.
My take is that complaints about the media giving Bush a much easier time than it gave Clinton are totally true and valid. For some writers, like Brock during the 1990s, the attacks were motivated by politics and, as Brock described them in his very revealing and still worth reading confessional book "Blinded by the Right," a desire to use the media to remove the Clintons from office.
But, Brock's story aside, the question remains: At the level of writers and editors at influential publications, is there a bias against the Clintons specifically and against the center-left in general?
Well, I've been working in New York media for nearly seven years now and I've met a lot of writers and editors and the people I've met almost universally love the Clintons. For one thing, we're all New Yorkers. We're the people who, when Hillary moved here from Arkansas and said she wanted to be our Senator, gave her overwhelming support. Had she actually wound up running against Giuliani, I have to admit that, even in retrospect, the result would have been too close to call, but even if she had lost, she'd have garnered so many votes that you could say, beyond all argument, that New York accepted and supported her. The Clintons are rock stars in these parts and a lot of the writers and editors we're talking about here are from these parts. It's just not credible to claim that the majority of writers and editors living and working in New York have an agenda to undermine the Clintons, or progressives in general. Most of them are progressives, after all, and most of them love the Clintons.
So, how to explain the rough Clinton ride in the press?
First, you have to set aside people with 1990-Brockian ambitions as a special case. They're out there and they're really writing to undermine Bill and Hillary. But, they're in the minority.
I suggest, as a possible explanation, the "Brangelina Factor." Most of the people writing and editing in these parts really like the Clintons and thus, really want to write about them. So, they get a chance, a tip, a premise, and maybe it's about a vapid subject like "What's the Clinton sex life like?" but, they want to write about the Clintons and that's what they have and so... they do. I'm not saying that's a good thing. Indeed, it's as absurd as all the coverage about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie but, like those actors, the Clintons are rock stars. In the end, all of us in the media want to write about rock stars. It really is true that a trivial story about a prominent subject will get better play than a substantive story about an obscure subject.
I'm not defending the press here. This is a true failure of thought and action. A good story has real impact, after all. It's about something important. How often Bill and Hill get their groove on together is not at all important.
But, I suggest that the problem with the media coverage that we're discussing here has less to do with politics and, sadly, a lot to do with "star fucking."

Slowly spring is coming. And it's about time.
It has been a back and forth winter in the Midwest. One day we will have warm weather-making us believe spring has finally arrived-the next day we will have a full fledged snowstorm. Our morale here is all but failing.
This past weekend, with a brief warm temperature, we were finally able to open a window for the first time.
As you can see by the picture, humans are not the only ones waiting for spring to arrive. Moe, Larry, and Curly (actually known as Ghost, Chewie, and Tigger) made a decisive move to crowd into the one window that I had opened, forgoing their usual discomfort and general dislike of being this close together. To further add to my point, even Tigger, the cat to the far right, was willing to have a wooden spoon crammed against his back (there to keep the window up) in order to take full advantage of his allotted space.
But fear not, if you don't have cats to crowd into your windows to show you spring is coming, there is another simple method which doesn't include waiting for a groundhog to forgo seeing his shadow. (Which is overrated if you ask me.)
Just simply wait for the expensive convertibles with their tops off, to take their rightful place on the road. If you see an older man (similar to a Donald Trump look-a-like) with sparse hair flapping in the wind, it is then you know without a doubt that it is truly, spring.

39 weeks into pregnancy, I was incredibly ready to have a baby. Enormous, uncomfortable, walking like a crazy person, squatting, and bouncing on a ball to see if I could help things along.
On Sunday night after I crawled into bed, I started feeling the tremors of what was to come. Contractions, internally radiating up my abdomen. "These are different than the Braxton Hicks." I thought.
Here we go.
Or so I thought. I bounced on my ball and eventually my hubby and I got ready to leave for the hospital. While the contractions were regular, they were spaced far apart. So we waited. Around 4 am, I tried to sleep, and the contractions slowed to a stop.
Next day, nothing. I walked a few more miles, bounced some more, packed some more, and took a nap.
10 pm that night, they started again. My husband, not convinced after the previous night's false alarm, went back to sleep, while I worked through the relatively mild but I-can't-sleep-through-this contractions. Bounce, bounce, bounce. I leaned over the couches and got on all fours on the floor during the more intense ones.
5 am: "Honey, this is it." Andrew showered and started packing our things into the car.
|Texting loved ones to tell them "This is it!"
7 am: Checked into the hospital--6 cm dilated! Who-hoo!
8am-2 pm: Walking the halls. After my saline lock was placed and my contractions briefly monitored, I walked, and walked, and walked, pausing to hold onto my dear hubby and breathe through each contraction. My mom came and walked with me. My sister in law brought me a cookies and cream Chic-fil-A milkshake (so divine!). My whole family was there, and they all took turns coming to see me and walking with me. My best friend's mom, a labor and delivery nurse, came in for an extra shift just so she could be my nurse (how incredibly sweet!).
|Chic-fil-A, family, and labor
2 pm: Feeling tired, and dizzy. My nurse suggested that I try resting awhile, so they helped me into the hospital bed for the first time. The contractions were intense enough to make me teary-eyed. My doctor, a petite Southern lady, came in to check my process. 8 cm. At this point, she broke my water.
HELLO crazy pain. Hello contractions that are right on top of each other.
Hello can-we-talk-about-pain-relief-options.
Prior to and during labor, my hope was to get through without an epidural and with limited medication.
At this point, however, I gladly conceded to receiving some IV pain medication. Having never had a narcotic before, they started me off with half a dose of Nubain.
It was wonderful. I could still feel each contraction strongly, but I was able to rest in-between. I was getting really tired, and every second of rest was heaven.
(excuse me while I interrupt the serious nature of this post to share with you one of the funniest pictures taken while I was in labor:)
The excitement was building, but I was a little past smiling right about here (somewhere between 8-10 cm)
|Breathing through a contraction
4 pm: Pain and tears. Checked again. 10 centimeters and it's time for action!
Pushing is no joke, ya'll.
Most people had told me that pushing is a relief. For me, not so much. It was the most intense part of my labor. By this time, I was super exhausted, and, of course, still hurting. And pushing takes amazing amounts of energy and strength. I had watched my mom give birth to my little sisters (#5 and #6 for her) and she pushed for around 30 minutes at most. I unrealistically counted on that for me with baby #1.
I pushed for 2 hours.
In the midst of it, I started getting concerned. I felt like I could not keep up the effort. I asked my nurse, "Is he really coming soon?" I was so close to the end of my rope that it seemed doubtful to me that the baby could be ok while I felt like passing out. I kept asking, "Is he ok? Is everything ok?"
My OB and nurses reassured me. My husband, mom, two sisters, and dear friend Christina urged me on.
At the end, I gave up all restraint and started praying out loud for God's help. "Lord, You created this process. Please help me get through it." And I pushed with all I had.
6:19 pm: Our baby boy took his first breath. Oh the joy! Oh the relief.
8 pounds, 9 ounces. And look at how much that sweet head had to compress to fit through!
|Our first meeting
|Oh hello sweetheart. We love you!
And of course, I would do it again (and hopefully will). With maybe (pretty please!?) a little less time pushing?
P.S. I know I said I was taking a break from blogging today. But Amy's Labor Day link-up is so much fun that I absolutely could not resist. It was wonderful to write this out and I am really enjoying reading the other labor stories over at Amy's Finer Things.

CellCept - Why nobody is answering the questions?
- Asked
- 23 Oct 2010 by Adina2
- Updated
- 25 Oct 2010
- Topics
- cellcept
Responses (2)
I wanted to know if the Cellcept has the same efficacy after an interruption of 6-7 month that resulted in a big relapse.
Patients who achieved remission and discontinued treatment were examined every month for 6 months for signs of relapse. At each follow-up visit clinical status, blood pressure, serum creatinine, 24 h CrC, electrolytes, lipids, liver function, glycaemia and 24 h urinary protein excretion were recorded. The total plasma levels of MPA, the active metabolite of MMF, were measured at 12 h post-dosing (trough) in 52 patients by the EMIT MPA assay using a COBAS MIRA PLUS analyzer (Roche Laboratories). MPA levels were only determined in a sample of 52 patients, as not all participating centres were able to perform this measurement.
I hope I have been of help.-
All the best.-
Take care.-
Thanks for your answer!
Unfortunately this answer it didn't address my main concern that was if the Cellcept will indues remission again after I had the relapse.
I started to to take the Cellcept again 6 month ago but I still don't feel any improvement of my symptoms yet.
No need to thank me.
I am so very sorry I could not be of help.-
Take care and all the best to you.-

In just the past few years, the number of people saying that they snack at least twice a day has grown by nearly 50%, Food Management reports. But today's snacks can range from sweets to meats and everything in between. A number of restaurants are already tailoring and expanding happy hour menus to cater to the growing snack trend, especially popular with the Millennial crowd. According to Food Management, the one thing to keep in mind is pricing, as Millennials are also well known for their frugality.
Harvard Donates Food
Nearly 2,500 lbs. of food that would otherwise go to waste at Harvard University will now be donated to local community groups each week in an innovative program that could have a major impact on urban hunger if adopted by other instructions, Food Management reports. The donations are carefully monitored, are frozen, and do not contain leftovers from students' plates.
McDonald's Decision To Use Antibiotic-free Chicken Will Increase Chicken Pricing
McDonald's recent announcement that it will no longer use chickens treated with antibiotics as of 2017 will likely increase the price of chicken for everyone by about 3%, Reuters reports. While the use of antibiotics by veterinarians is legal, there is increasing controversy of their presence in feed for healthy animals, including chicken, beef, and pork. Human overexposure to antibiotics make them less effective in fighting off serious infections and could lead to superbugs that are antibiotic resistant, experts warn. Several restaurants and fast-food chains are joining in on the ban that chicken suppliers like Tyson say will cost millions to make the change. Those increases will pass on to retailers and eventually to consumers in higher prices.
Ancient Grain Suddenly Hip
Farro has been around as long as, well, pharaohs, but the grain long popular in the Middle East and Europe is now in the spotlight as some pretty chic eateries in the U.S. According to The Wall Street Journal, farro is a low-calorie substitute for wheat, rice, barley, and white flour. Some chefs are now using farro in making cakes, in salads, and even to make pasta. So if you are looking to offer something a bit different on your menu, go with the food of the pharaohs. You and your customers may be pleasantly surprised.

Rotisserie Chicken Reaches Restaurants
Although slow roasted chicken on a spit has been a longtime favorite at eateries such as Boston Chicken, the tender morsels are now debuting on restaurant menus across the U.S., Technomic reports. Among the more popular combinations are garlic, barbecue, and sweet flavorings. Ethnic rotisserie chicken preps are also popular with Hispanic treatments leading the way with bold, spicy, and sweet seasonings and flavors.

Senator Schumer Wants More Warehouse Inspections
Citing a rising incidence of rat infestations in food distribution warehouses, Sen, Charles Schumer of New York is calling on the FDA to "immediately implement a three-pronged plan that would boost the number of inspections, create a public, searchable database about violations, and increase the fines to improve conditions and deter future violations," Food Quality and Safety reports. Industry observers note that the FDA is way behind on inspections, largely because of deep budget cuts.
Saving On Your Water Bill
Water is costing you money. To save $600 on your water bill, you will have to sell $6,000 in food and drinks if you operate your restaurant with a 5% profit margin. Want to learn three quick ways to save that $600?
1. Only serve water to guests who ask for it. Why? It actually takes three glasses of water to serve your guest one after counting the ice and the water needed to wash the glass in the first place.
2. Put new aerators in your hand sinks on a regular basis. Doing so can reduce your hot water use by thousands of gallons a year.
3. Install the best pre-rinse spray valve in your dish room. According to Smartblog, it can save you up to $300 a year because the valve sprays out less water that cleans as well as the older units.
