Exciting news!! I am on my third night of Lupron injections...and tonight is also my last birth control pill! With my last journey, I had the most HORRIBLE side effect (daily migraines with vomiting) from the Lupron - so I'm praying this time Lupron decides to play nice...but I'm not holding my breath!! I don't mind the insomnia, hot flashes, random crying spells, etc - it's just the migraines that are hard to manage (especially because you can only take Tylenol while on the IVF meds)
But, I'm SO excited and SO ready to help Thaddeus and Kristin get their baby/babies safely here...that I don't mind suffering through a few weeks of migraines. I know God has His hand firmly resting on me, and He won't give me more than I can handle.
OK...so it's official - please start praying for my husband. He's the poor guy that has to live with me during all of these hormonal times. He truly is the wonderful man behind this soon-to-be pregnant belly!! And, while you are at it...pray for my kids, family and friends too... :)

The Weekend Report: Mad for Plaid!12:23 PM
Welcome back to a chilly Monday! (Damn it polar vortex!!)
This past weekend I was so excited that my old friend Tallie came to visit me all the way from Wisconsin! I hadn't seen her in about two years and it was wonderful to spend time together. She is awesome about visiting me, and it was so fun to show her around Baltimore.
Saturday was bitterly cold, but I was dead set on wearing this skirt. I just picked it up at a swap sale and I absolutely love it. I have no idea why I picked it, but it drew me in and wouldn't let me leave without it. Problem? It's very lightweight with next to no liner. So, solution! There are leggings under this skirt. Yep, I'm a genius.
For warmth (and copying Tallie's idea), I added this snood scarf I picked up for $15 at a silent auction. I threw on my new favorite ring from SideDish Mobile and carried my faux Louis for a fun day of brunching, shopping and drinks! I couldn't have asked for a better Saturday.

Oh man…do I want this. I mean really, really, really want…
Modernist Cuisine is the epitome of science and cooking. Chef (and Dr) Nathan Myhrvold, Chef Chris Young, and Chef Maxime Bilet have put together something that looks absolutely unfathomable as a reference for the WHY and HOW of cooking.
This set is FORTY pound. The ink alone weighs four pounds. There are over 2300 pages. The photos are brilliantly done. Visually stunning, with many "cut away" photos so you can actually get an idea of what is going on in the pot. And stock quality of the paper is amazing, as they actually want you to use this tome in your kitchen not just have it look nice on the shelf.
But this book set will not come cheap. The price tag? Between $450 and $625 depending on where you shop… Hope I get a bonus soon.
Just do me a favor and use the link above. Check out the bio on Dr Myhrvold. Look at the pictures and the video. Look at the reviews. And if you love to cook, try and tell me that you don't want this bad boy.

25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. 26 And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules. 28 You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God. -Ezekiel 36
Without thy sweet mercy I could not live here,
Sin soon would reduce me to utter despair;
But, through thy free goodness, my spirits revive
And he that first made me, still keeps me alive.
Church is a great reminder of what is true. Today through this scripture and song I was overwhelmed with God's mercy. My flesh hates being subject to something outside my control. But God's mercy is a very good uncontrollable factor in our lives. We don't make ourselves presentable to God. We can't. By faith, he mercifully exerts all the effort and energy to bring us to himself clean. This is a very good place to be.
I see Little Man being worked on everyday by people paying attention to the smallest detail and it also is a healthy reminder of this great Outside Intervention going on in my own life. I did not save myself. I could not. There is One who faithfully intervened on my behalf and did what I could not do for myself. Jesus paid attention to every detail and now I'm free. What mercy!
We have had 8 very, very positive days. Harrison just knocked out day 8 tonight. Different nurses have called him a "champ" and a "rock star." We've had an incredible first week. My brother adequately refereed to it as a golden week. To be at now where we were 8 days ago is pretty unbelievable.
The past two days have been very positive still. Today was a little stressful as we rode the proverbial roller coaster for a bit. After 8 straight days of positive news and feedback we walked into some unsettling news. We knew we wouldn't bat .1000, and we've been told this will be a process of a few steps forward and a then a step back. Today wasn't really as much a step back, as it is Harrison choosing to take a break for a few seconds.
Harrison is obviously underdeveloped. Among other things that are still growing is part of his nervous system. Right now, the part that runs his involuntary breathing isn't quite fully operational. He is breathing on his own really well better than 90% of the time, but he gets tired from all the work and every now and then takes a break. This little rest coupled with the lack of stimulation from his brain and nervous system causes an episode nurses refer to as a "Brady."
I've witnessed about 4 of these, and it is kinda terrifying. In the middle of his hiatus his heart rate plummets from 160-170 to 40-70 beats a minute and his O2 saturation then begins to quickly taper. A lot of alarms begin to beep and red lights flash. Which set off my blood pressure and heart rate. But a slight rub on his back, a wiggle on his torso will cause him to snap out of it and remind him to breathe. Often, in shorter spells, he comes out of it on his own. And in about 10-15 seconds everything resets and continues
He has had anywhere from 2 - 3 Bradys every 12 hours since his birth. And we've been assured these are really normal. Every baby goes through these. In fact, it's a rare exception if a pre-mature baby doesn't Brady.
So in some sense this is part of the process of a pre-mee's development. When we went to check in on Harrison he had recorded 4 Saturday night and 5 throughout the day today. Enough to warrant some further inspection from doctors. They were concerned maybe an infection was wearing him down so doctors ordered a blood lab. And as it turns out his blood came back with great numbers. His white blood cells were normal, and he actually just finished 7 days of antibiotics 2 days ago. So they don't feel its an infection. He is tolerating feeds. They have increased his feeding from 1ml/4 hr to 2.5ml/2hrs. And they want that to go up to 9.5ml/2 hrs over the next week. They also took an x-ray to check out his lungs and they looked very much improved, strong and clear.
One thing I believe effected him was something that happened yesterday. They tried to insert a permanent IV into his arm. He had one in his bellybutton they wanted to remove to avoid infection. This line (no bigger than a thread of cloth) would go into a large vein in his upper arm, around his shoulder and settle close to his heart. They were unsuccessful to turn the corner (fairly common) at his shoulder and didn't leave it in. They worked on him over an hour and he fussed and fought them about the whole time. That really wore him out, because when we went to see him later that night he was really lethargic. I think that spell of working on him wore him out and he's still recovering from being worked over for an hour.
We aren't sure why all the Brady's occurred all the sudden. And it seems it's normal for pre-mies. All Harrison's other signs are showing progression. He pooped today when I changed his diaper. It was a load from my perspective, but the nurse told us it was about a medium size. He weighed in at 1# 10 oz tonight gaining 45 grams since yesterday (a big jump).
May the Great Physician continue to intervene on Harrison's behalf and bring him to full maturity.
You could pray for him in this way:
That these Brady episodes would lessen and not harm him. They are treating him with caffine for his heart, and that can help to a point. But it seems time is the only cure as his body continues to grow. But pray his nervous system develops healthfully.
And pray he gains weight and tolerates his feeding. This is the next big hurdle after the respiratory one we cleared this week. This will help grow and develop him more than anything at this point. If he keeps tolerating his feeding, they can take his IV out for good!
Thanks for your prayers,
Gripped by this mercy,

Charlie Nicholas wants to see Sunderland be very attacking at home.
Charlie Nicholas has told Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday that he feels Sam Allardyce needs to change the tactical approach at Sunderland in order to ensure that they don't fall into the same trap as they normally do.
The Black Cats have found themselves battling against the drop on a regular basis in recent years, and it seems that they are set for another survival scrap this time around.
Sunderland are currently languishing inside the relegation zone, and Nicholas feels that nothing is likely to change unless they adopt a more attacking style at home.
"I think Sunderland have to change their style, I really do," he said. "Sam has to change the inner work that this team does.
"He needs to get wide-players, he needs to get two up-front and make sure [Steven] Fletcher and [Jermain] Defoe have support.
"And not every week, but in the home games that will give them a life from the supporters. They need to change something here, otherwise the same thing will happen every time, every season."
Sunderland's attacking work could not have been criticised at the weekend, when they took on Everton at Goodison Park.
The Black Cats were dangerous going forward against the Toffees, but their defensive issues were once again highlighted in the fixture.
Sunderland have conceded far too many goals this term, and their 6-2 defeat against Everton exposed all of the problems that exist in their current squad.
It leaves Allardyce with a tough job to keep them safe, but the 60-year-old manager has never been relegated before, and he will be hoping to preserve that proud record this season.

Yesterday morning at COY (Conference of Youths), we had 5 youths share their experiences on the initiatives they have been carrying out in their home countries. Chris from Fiji shared on a programme which train youths on issues relevant to low-lying nations like Fiji. The programme that was local and catered for only 20 people, has now spread to 5 other countries with more than 180 youths today.
An interesting insight was provided by youth delegates from New Zealand when she stated how important it is to incorporate culture into climate change action. For example, her culture had Maori elements and she utilized certain phrases from the Maori language which convey the need to teach and educate others on climate change.
I think I found the story shaped by a Nepalese youth most inspiring, a word she herself used many times. It's very admirable how she and many others convinced government officials to put climate change issues on the country's agenda amongst other seemingly more important issues like the Maoist insurgency. An initiative to raise awareness on the mountain issue which is the melting of the Himalayas has spread from 3 college students to 5 regions now. Moving from the refusal of the government to hear the youths out to present invitations to government's consultation sessions is a huge milestone, I agree.
The greatest take away from this session was that we are not alone in this battle, fighting for the environmental cause. We have fellow counterparts in other parts of the world tirelessly helping out in the ways they know how.

Pink Leather Intestines by Hodgy
Lyrics for Pink Leather Intestines by Hodgy
[Birds chirping]
Such a beautiful day...
Such a beautiful day, such a beautiful day
Such a beautiful day, so beautiful...
Why do I feel ugly?
I put my frozen cheese through the grater
After takin the cheddar out the refrigerator
Seasoned it, zest it, let it marinate up
Give it a couple hours and get back to it later
In the oven it goes, but I'm no baker
Open up them jaws, you will not taste the quaker
Oatmeal, poached chill, fo'real
Go and get some floss cause it's stuck inside yo' grill
The direction of selections of the questions are collections
So before you think to step in, don't speak
When I speak you can't tell me nathan
I've been away from my pops since a child like, I was put in placement
My mother date a other cat to try and replace him
Pain only erase him, when I look in the mirror every day
I would face him, and it was when I met him
My heart, fell into my pink leather intestines.
[Chorus x8]
Pink, leather (intestines)
Uhh; three o'clock in the mornin makin halfway songs
Thinkin my mom's my dad cause he halfway gone
He called me one day told me he halway wrong
I laughed in his face like this is how it belong
But callin me with bullshit, only made me strong
Cause he showed his ass like a woman with a thong
I used to go crazy, call me king-kong
I bang on my chest and be, strange like the rest of my crew
Slang for clothes and get the best kind of shoes
Mom couldn't afford 'em, she wouldn't pay for 'em
I asked if she would buy 'em she told me to pray for 'em
I was commonly known, but my thoughts stayed foreign
I never got lovin enough, like I ain't fuckin enough
He wasn't lovin he bluffed emotional stuff and I cuffed
And kept it in my chest then
Until it dropped, and moved into my pink leather intestines.
This song is part of album 'The Dena Tape'

Witches Festival at Gardner Village
Hey topgun! I couldn't find my shades and had to borrow Ben's. I look ridiculous!
My friend Tammy playing with Gabe
I guess this witch wasn't scary either. When we got to Ben's office, our friend Jason Norton asked Laine who was prettier, the witches, or Mommy. Everyone had a good laugh when she chose the witches. I suppose I will try to grow some warts for her and make my face green if that's what she wants to wake up and see every morning.

The course was gorgeous with all of the beautiful fall colors, and there were deer everywhere. Though they didn't want to be my friend, no matter how hard I tried

Okay, not really! But it was better than this!! It is a good thing that Tiene is so smart and talented, I fear she won't be able to rely on golf, sorry Tiene!

Happy Birthday Gabe!
* You love to laugh, dance, and be innocently mischievous
* You are a GREAT eater! You have loved bananas but are now starting to love carrots or broccoli the best.
* You are still crawling, but love to tease us with a few steps now and again!
* You love to make other people happy, you love to get into a laughter fit with people
* You sing every once in a while, it is so cute!
* You throw the cutest little tantrums and kick and throw yourself. For now it is just really funny when you do it
* You are cautiously friendly
* You are a MAJOR scaredy cat!
* You are so sweet, but not cuddly
* You are sooooo cheerful! You usually wake up happy and then eat, play, and stay good until it is time for a nap. You are only every cranky if you are tired.

The other day I took the kids to the park. EVERY time we go to the park, sweetest Laine finds a little friend, sometimes older, sometimes younger or sometimes really close to the same age. Within 5 minutes, her and her little friend are running around holding hands. The last time the little girl as a 2 year old Mexican girl who barely spoke English! They were just darling. They were having the time of their lives together running around, playing, despite the fact that they had just met and won't continue to see each other again on a regular basis.

Our little doggy
Ben will be relieved to know that he won't need to make good on the promise of getting a pet when we finally "settle" somewhere. He has been promising me a dog for years, but I guess we already have one, and his name is Gabe. This little puppydog crawls around at my feet all day, following me around like a little shadow. He has also started to ALWAYS have something he is dragging around in his mouth, it is such a crack-up.

Baby's first corn on the cob
This Boy really puts the food down, at this rate I think he will be a linebacker. But I had no idea he was capable of handling his first corn on the cob! I will post some post-feeding belly pics. He always looks about 8 months pregnant after eating (or as Uncle Noah says, he looks like the starving children of Africa with a swollen belly)
Grrrrr... stay away from my corn!
Got it just about clean!

Would anyone like to buy a house?
Okay, although this is the 3rd home we have purchased, the last home we sold had tenants in when we sold it, so it was their job to keep it in pristine order. We still own the 2nd house, so this is really the first home we have had to do ALL of the work to sell. Trying to keep it clean, trying to get people here and see it, doing fliers and the whole bit. It is not just that you have to keep it clean, you have to keep every inch of it immaculately clean, including your closets, drawers, pantry, and refrigerator. I'm so over it already and it has only been a week and a half!

The word on the streets is that at 12 weeks, an infant makes the transition from the title of 'newborn' to the title of 'baby.' That means that in less than 2 weeks, little Essley is no longer a newborn. Is it weird that that makes me a little sad? I'm so excited for all of the firsts and milestones that lie ahead, but it's bittersweet to watch her grow so quickly. Admittedly, the newborn phase has been somewhat of a blur (do you ever get to sleep again?!), but I have definitely learned a lot along the way. And one of the biggest lessons has been that products you actually need for a newborn are very few. I think a lot of first time parents naturally feel an urge to get lots of 'stuff' in advance of baby being born (guilty!), but in reality, you don't require much beyond food, minimal clothing, and a place for the baby to sleep. I have, however, found that there is a handful of items that have proven very useful for us in these first few weeks/months, and I decided to put together this guide to share with you guys. This is not a sponsored post; these products are ones that I genuinely recommend based on my own experience. All babies (and parents!) are different of course, but these 10 items worked particularly well for us, and if we ever have another baby, these are the products that we will absolutely be using again.
1. WubbaNub – We picked up the giraffe WubbaNub on a trip last fall because a friend's baby had one and loved it. It turns out that Essley loves it too – so much that it rarely leaves her side. It's an easy, effective way to soothe, and the attached stuffed animals makes it much harder to lose than regular pacifiers.
2. Boppy – This nursing pillow is like the breastfeeding mother's sidekick. Seriously. It makes every position easier, it's easy to carry from place to place, and it's comfortable for both mommy and baby. It's especially helpful to me for those middle of the night feedings when I'm so exhausted and bleary eyed that I can't think. I like the organic cotton peapod cover the best – it's soft and the design is simple and sweet.
3. Aden + Anais Swaddle Blankets – These muslin blankets are quite possibly the most versatile blankets in existence. We use ours to swaddle, to keep Essley warm without overheating her, as a car seat cover for indoors when we're running errands, and even as oversized burp cloths.
4. ERGObaby Carrier – I didn't use a carrier at all for the first few weeks, but now that she's a little bigger, I'm realizing how invaluable our Ergo is. It's a great way to be able to work and to get things done around the house but still have baby close. Some people also swear by slings and wraps, and we also have a Moby Wrap for Essley. But the Ergo is my go-to carrier. There is also an infant insert you can get for the inside for a perfect fit for newborns.
5. Arm's Reach Mini Arc Co-Sleeper – This bassinet attaches to the parents' bed so that you're able to safely sleep right next to your newborn. Being able to have Essley so close to me at night (perfect for night nursing and easy cuddle access) but still in her own space has been invaluable. It's definitely not the most attractive piece of baby furniture ever, but purpose and practicality won out over visual design for me with this product.
6. NoseFrida – When I was pregnant, I read somewhere that this crazy contraption from Sweden was the absolute best way to keep babies' noses booger-free. And it's true. Combined with saline mist, this thing is a lifesaver. It puts the bulb style nasal aspirator that the hospital gave us to shame.
7. Boudreaux's Butt Paste – This diaper rash paste works wonders and isn't full of icky chemicals. It also smells really, really good.
8. Cloth Diapers as Burp Rags – If you have a puker (we do!), I recommend having lots of burp rags on hand. We got handed down some really cute, extra soft ones, but cloth diapers are cheap and work just as well. A friend recommended I grab a pack before Essley was born, and it might just have been the best $ 9 I've ever spent.
9. Zippered Sleep and Plays – Truth be told, there isn't much I love more than dressing Essley up in pretty outfits for outings or pictures, but when we're home, she lives in these. They're cute and they're easy. I like the snapped ones too, but after lots of daily outfit changes (newborns are messy), your fingers will thank you for the zippers. These are also great because you don't have to pull anything over baby's head.
10. Dr. Brown's Bottles – Although I am breastfeeding (and exclusively feeding Essley breast milk), I did starting pumping bottles a few times a week a few weeks ago so that others can feed her as well. Dr. Brown's bottles are designed with a vent that provides vacuum-free feeding (most similar to breastfeeding), and also reduces air bubble oxidation of the milk to help preserve vitamins and lipids. We actually tried another type of bottle one day and she kept scrunching up her face and unlatching from the nipple. She loves her Dr. Brown's!
I hope this little guide proves useful for those of you who are pregnant or with new babies. For those of you with kids (or nieces/nephews, or friends with kids, or grandbabies!), what are your favorite must-haves for newborns?

I've been meaning for two months now to write an annual update. In my "Girl Who Lived" post, I had marked on my calendar one year later - Oct. 14, 2010 - as the date that I would be doing so much better. I have avoided this update for some time because I wasn't sure how to handle it.
When I wrote those two posts in the Fall of 2009, I thought the worst was behind me. I was wrong about that. If I had known then what I know now, I doubt I would have put that shot gun away - I would have gone ahead and pulled the trigger, because I would not have believed I could really endure what was coming.
In the 14 months since then things got worse. A LOT worse.
I lived through the death of my best friend [and main support system] to cancer. I lost my "common law" sister in law when her relationship with my brother came to a spectacularly bad end after almost a decade. Both women were people I felt very close to and whom I cared for very much.
I lived through surgery on my kidneys and major surgery on my thyroid. I took care of my children while recovering from both surgeries. I had pneumonia 4 different times in 9 months, including an antibiotic resistant bout that lasted more than 5 weeks. Through which I cared for my children and never rested. We lived through 3 different [*confirmed*] bouts of the flu. We lived through 2 different bouts of Norovirus/Rotavirus - one bout over Christmas and one bout over Easter - which began 24 hours after my thyroid surgery and left me home alone caring for 6 extremely ill puking children with very high fevers - a virus that lasted more than a week with each child and took about 2 weeks to run its course through the whole family. I'm left with terrible scarring on my neck because what should have been an uncomplicated surgery turned into a gaping wound that bled non-stop for weeks and never healed right - due, in large part I am sure, to the fact that I didn't get to sleep or rest at any point in my recovery period [and when I say I didn't get to sleep, I mean I did not sleep for more than 30 minutes in a row for 2 weeks because of puking, desperately ill children].
Every month has been a struggle to keep food on the table and to keep a roof over the heads of my children [even though our current rental house is a nightmare, at least it is a house]. I live in constant, gnawing fear of potential homelessness.
I was able to get my old job back in September of 2010, which was a blessing. It has helped some financially [but not as much as I expected because my pay was cut to 60% of what it had been previously and I drive more than an hour to get to work]. It has also led to other stresses - being a single mother of 6 and trying to juggle a job are not easy things.
There is ongoing drama with my Ex husband. He disappears for weeks or months where the kids don't hear from him, he won't return their pleading calls, he rarely ever visits the children, when he does visit he leaves early - and yet, now he's taken me back to court to demand that he be given week long visitation out of state. Given his mental health history, I would never have dreamed it was possible that he would be granted this, but I was wrong. Now I have the added stress of preparing children to go visit a father who was extremely neglectful of them even in the best of times and who was physically and emotionally abusive to them in the worst of times. They are going up to stay with him in his girlfriend's house [the girlfriend whom he described to me as "a terrible mother who gets drunk every night and neglects her child severely". Oh, and also he described her as "psycho-controlling" and "extraordinarily lazy"]. Not an environment ANY decent mother would want her children in.
The kids go *insane* every time he actually does come for a visit - nightmares and depression for 1-2 weeks before a visit and 2-3 weeks afterward. They fight like cats and dogs and the stress level in our home surrounding his rare visits is *catastrophic*. [Their therapist calls this "displaced rage" - they can't focus it at their father for fear of further abandonment so they focus it on each other and, in the case of one child, on me]. They are clearly traumatized by him, and their therapist was willing to testify to that. But her testimony doesn't matter and the children's testimony doesn't matter because by golly, a man has a right to see his own children NO MATTER WHAT HE HAS DONE. My testimony doesn't matter because everything I say is dismissed as me being a "scorned Ex wife", so of course I'm lying. And I can't subpoena his psychiatric records to prove what I am saying because of my Ex husband's "right to privacy". [What about my children's Right to Safety?] I have so much more I could say about this, but in the interest of keeping this post a readable length, I'll stop.
In the midst of all that, I've been trying to help my children have good feelings about their father - there is a gag order around here - nobody is allowed to say anything bad about their father in front of them no matter what he does. I feel it is important for the children to believe that their father is good - even if he isn't. THEY need to feel that they came from goodness and not from evil. Which makes things hard. We continue to be chronically victimized by this man but I am faced with the need to be his "PR" agent in so many ways to keep the children from hating him. [And I don't do that for HIM - I do it because that hate would eat my children alive and damage them.]
I find it hard to even put into words what I lived through last year.
Beyond the illness and financial stress and the stress of dealing with an unstable and highly unpredictable and controlling Ex who appears and disappears at random, it has been a hard year emotionally.
I had to come to terms this year with the extreme emotional abuse I endured throughout my marriage. [and other kinds of abuse that I won't detail here.] I knew for many years that the relationship was bad, but I stayed because I felt it was better for the children to have a bad father than no father at all. I stayed because I had promised "forever" and he was sick [mentally ill] and I would never have left him when he needed me so much. Now, in retrospect, I believe it was a horrible choice - I should never have stayed. The children [and I] have permanent emotional damage from the years of living with his craziness and abuse. That is my fault - my only defense is that I did the best I could with the information I had at the time. That is not a defense that gives me much comfort.
I still wake almost every night with nightmares about the things my Ex husband did to me and to our children. I started writing this post at 4:30 am - after waking from yet another nightmare and being unable to get back to sleep. Which happens to me frequently. I have panic attacks every time he calls or emails me. I live in constant fear of the "next crazy thing" he is going to do to us. My motto about my Ex husband is "the only thing I can predict about his behavior is that he will continue to be completely unpredictable". It is like living on Earth that randomly moves and tries to swallow you up and you never know where the next yawning pit will open.
I feel that the controlling and terrorizing that he does will go on forever and that I will never be free of him.
And that terrifies me and makes me feel hopeless. I cry for Sanctuary, but nobody can grant it.
Now you see why I put off this update. ONE YEAR was not a magical time frame that would make all things better. One year was barely a beginning on the healing that has to take place.
But, curiously, things ARE much better. Aside from our Post Traumatic Stress Disorder involving my Ex, our life is good.
I have come to be happy being alone - just myself and my children. I have learned to enjoy my solitude [a monumental task for me, a complete and total extrovert]. I have learned to make decisions without a friend or partner to discuss it with first. I have learned to be ALONE, in every sense of the word, and to be at peace with that.
I have learned to be happy living just with me.
My children are excelling - despite the trauma, despite my Ex husband's continuing cycle of neglect and then malevolent control, despite being poor as dirt... my children excel. All 6 of them are *really* nice kids. All 6 of them are really INTELLIGENT kids. The ones who are old enough to get grades are all honor roll students. The ones who aren't old enough to get grades will be honor roll students when they ARE old enough... LOL! I never cease to be amazed at what wonderful, amazing, kind, friendly, FANTASTIC human beings my children are. There is never a moment that I am not proud and over joyed to be their mother - it is an honor and a privilege.
It has gotten exponentially easier being a single mom to 6 young children over the last year - for one thing, the baby is now a 2yo and that makes a world of difference. For another, we have discovered routines and rules that work for our family and that make daily life survivable. And as the other children get older as well, they are all easier to care for.
In this past year other good things have happened too. I have become much closer to my father and my mother. I have written a book. I have a good start on another book [on childbirth]. For the last 6 months we have been remarkably healthy [I think we had every virus known to man last year and now we seem to be fairly immune to them all! ;) ]
I have learned who I am at a level that most people will never achieve - the crucible of my life has left me keenly aware of my own strengths and my own flaws. And I feel content that almost all of the time I am the person God wants me to be. I know how strong I am and I know that I will always make the best choices possible in the situation I am given. I know that I have the strength and the courage to always do "the right thing", no matter the personal cost.
Despite all obvious evidence, I have hope. Hope for our future. Hope that, like Job and Tobit, God will end my life in happiness and joy instead of pain and sorrow.
The Girl Who Lived is still alive and kicking.

God bless you Martian Mama,ReplyDelete
You are in my prayers. Please visit lamehousewife.wordpress.com. I am beginning a ministry for single mothers. It is more a prayer group than anything. We are very excited to get something like this in our area because there is quite a need. Many women have to go through what you yourself are going through, and no one except another single mom understands what this cross is like. I understand, and I hope that your holidays go as well as can be. God bless.
"Do not fear to hope, though the wicked rage and rise. Our God sees not as we see, sucess is not the prize. Do not fear to hope, although the night be long. The race shall not be to the swift, the fight not to the strong."ReplyDelete
Just remember, you are still there and you are still fighting. You are in my prayers.

UFC: "King Mo" vs. Matyushenko and 3 Fights to Schedule Post-Strikeforce GPSeptember 12, 2011
UFC: "King Mo" vs. Matyushenko and 3 Fights to Schedule Post-Strikeforce GP
Strikeforce hosted the semifinal round of the heavyweight grand prix in Cincinnati on Saturday night and fight fans were treated with an exciting night of action.
The event was headlined by Josh Barnett (31-5) and Sergei Kharitonov (18-5) to determine who would advance to the finals.
Kharitonov was no match for the far superior Barnett and with the victory, Barnett advances to the final round of the tournament and extends his win streak to nine that dates back to 2008.
Former Olympic wrestler Daniel Cormier (9-0) stepped in on short notice against Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva (16-3).
A huge four-punch combination by Cormier dropped Silva, and two devastating hammer fists later, the AKA-trained heavyweight finished the fight.
Barnett and Cormier were both impressive in claiming first-round victories and now face each other in the finals later this winter.
With that being said, we take a look at the fighters who don't have their next fight set and determine the matchups that should be booked next.
So, if you'd like to hear why Strikeforce should be folded and merged to the UFC, read E. Spencer Kyte's column on Heavy.com.
Pat Healy vs. Josh Thomson
Pat Healy (26-16) returned to action for the second time in 30 days and overcame multiple illegal kicks to the face from opponent Maximo Blanco to pick up his third win of 2011.
Blanco's illegal kicks left Healy bloody in the opening round, but once an opportunity presented itself Healy took the fight to the ground and put his submission game on full display.
The victory places Healy on an impressive three-fight win streak that includes wins over Lyle Beerbohm and Eric Wisely.
Healy has reaped the benefits of training with UFC 137 co-headliner B.J. Penn in his past three fights and will likely continue his work with Penn.
His lone loss in the organization came at the hands of Josh Thomson (18-4) in mid-2010, and Thomson has seen mixed results since then.
He was last seen being defeated by Tatsuya Kawajiri this past December in Japan and has yet to compete in 2011.
Thomson is Strikeforce's former lightweight champion and has competed three times in the UFC back in 2003-2004.
A rematch for Thomson would provide the opportunity for him to get his career back on track and prove that his best days are still ahead.
As for Healy, it would give him the chance to prove that he's taken a big step in his career, ready to face higher-ranked competition.
Thomson and Healy are two of Strikeforce's most talented lightweights, so why not introduce them to UFC fans now and sell the rivalry to spice things up.
Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal vs. Vladimir Matyushenko
Lawal (8-1) returned to the cage for the first time in more than a year and looked better than ever.
The former collegiate wrestler chose to keep the fight standing where he proved to be superior.
"King Mo" landed a devastating right hand that quickly sent Gracie to the canvas and follow-up punches sealed the deal.
Post-fight, Lawal made his desire to rematch Cavalcante known and while Cavalcante was successful in a preliminary bout earlier in the fight, Strikeforce is fading fast.
As I'm sure you'll read today from multiple outlets, the organization should merge with the UFC sooner rather than later.
With that being said, Lawal's skillset and personality would make him an instant star in the sport's premier organization. A rematch with Cavalcante wouldn't make sense, but a debut fight opposite Vladimir Matyushenko does fit the bill.
Matyushenko (26-5) has won back-to-back fights courtesy of first round knockouts and his most recent victory against Jason Brilz took merely 20 seconds.
Matyushenko has 10 fights in the organization and has competed on televised main cards, so he'd bring both experience to test Lawal and much more name value than Cavalcante would.
With Lawal and Matyushenko both earning knockout wins in their most recent fights, it would be an entertaining matchup for fight fans.
Antonio Silva vs. Brendan Schaub
Silva (16-3) was expected to overwhelm opponent Daniel Cormier with his experience and size advantage, but the former Olympic wrestler had other plans.
Cormier dropped Silva with a four-punch combination and followed with additional punches that saw Silva's three-fight win streak snapped.
At 6'4" and 265 pounds, Silva is a massive heavyweight that the casual fans don't need to know much about in order to watch the fight.
Throw in victories over Fedor Emelianenko and former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski in a promo, and fans will tune in to see who this gigantic knockout artist is.
68 percent of Silva's victories have come by knockout, so pairing him against Schaub could be a risky proposition for the young heavyweight.
But Silva has been knocked out on two occasions in his career, so Schaub's athleticism and power could very well add him to the list.
Schaub (8-2) was knocked out by a revitalized "Big Nog" this past month and with Silva also just suffering a defeat, both men would be highly motivated to return to the win column.
Both men are 6'4" and combined weigh well over 500 pounds and with victories over Mirko "Cro Cop," Gabriel Gonzaga, Emelianenko and Arlovski, it's a very sellable fight.
Luke Rockhold vs. Loser of Mark Munoz-Chris Leben
After a 19-month layoff, Rockhold (8-1) stunned the world by dethroning Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza in a well-deserved victory.
Rockhold's aggression in the championship rounds likely sealed the deal in him capturing the middleweight championship.
Souza, who is a talented jiu-jitsu black belt couldn't implement his game and when the action did the mat, Rockhold returned to his feet before any real damage was done.
Rockhold's victory makes it seven in a row for the American Kickboxing Academy-trained fighter and places him in the top 10 of the division.
Souza was ranked No. 4 in the world coming into Saturday night's fight, so Rockhold is riding a wave of momentum.
Mark Munoz and Chris Leben headline UFC 138 in November, and the winner will likely be on the doorstep of a title shot.
With Chael Sonnen returning to competition against heavy-handed Brian Stann next month at UFC 136, the winner should expect to face Anderson Silva in early 2012.
So, the loser of Munoz and Leben would be the perfect opponent for Rockhold to make his debut.
Heading into the fight, the smart money is on Munoz to defeat Leben.
And let's be honest—if I'm correct, would you rather see Rockhold vs. Leben or watch Rockhold's spotlight quickly dim in Strikeforce?
Alistair Overeem will make his UFC debut against Brock Lesnar as Strikeforce's most recent heavyweight champion, and Rockhold could make his organizational debut as Strikeforce's final middleweight title holder.
Needless to say, Rockhold's a marketable fighter and when healthy, he's as tough as they come.

Reminder: Potluck tomorrow! Healthy options are encouraged!
Circle of power and respect (CPR) started our day today. We then went to choir practice. It is asked that the kids learn the lines to Remembrance Child by next Monday. Next week the kids will receive the second song. When we returned to class we finished CPR and then had read aloud. After recess, we read the story Shi Shi Etko as a spring board for a discussion about Residential Schools in Canada and why we have Orange Shirt Day on Friday. In P.E. we played Hungry Hungry Hippos. After lunch, we watched the video of the Shi Shi Etko story and the a clip about why we have Orange Shirt Day. (see links below) In our language block, we had our first group of students use the Wonderopolis website to explore different wonders. The letters for making big words were also handed out and the kids worked on a venn diagram comparing the book and video. (Both due Friday.) We ended the day talking about what passion time is and what some of the students did last year for their passion projects. The students were asked to think about what they would like to explore for their first passion projects this year.

Between Bread: 15 Restaurants in Manila With Awesome Sandwiches
Foodie movie 'Chef' has left a lot of us scrambling to the nearest sandwich joint or running to our own home kitchens to prepare a messy-good grilled cheese sandwich. While this portable, hand-held favorite is mostly consumed locally as a midday snack or a light lunchbox treat, heavier savory items stacked in between slices of bread prove that a sandwich can be just as heavy-hitting as your staple Pinoy rice meal.
This finger food is named after the 4th Earl of Sandwich, British man John Montagu. While it was not exaclty invented by the artistocrat, it was popularly believed that a combination of meat between bread is what Lord Sandwich would eat while he would play cards, as it is portable, less messy, and rids him of using utensils (some serious cribbage attention was needed).
Fast forward to today: we have an entire spectrum of sandwiches only limited to a chef or cook's creativity--from the assortment of breads that serve as base and top, to the many proteins and fillings in different flavor ranges (savory, spicy, sweet, salty, and everything in between). Don't forget the condiments, the add-ons, the veggies, and everything-but-the-kitchen-sink.
Craving for some sandwiches? Sink your teeth into the metro's popular specialty sandwich joints! In this edition of The Click List, we share 15 restaurants (listed alphabetically) that specialize in mouthwatering hand-held eats.

Salem was first accosted in his home in 2003. One evening at 8 pm he heard a light knocking on the door. He answered thinking it was a friend. ِA large man in a white dishdasha and a red kaffieh said, "Assalamu Alaikum". It was a curious greeting given the circumstances. He responded, "Alaikum Assalam". He was shocked to see his garden full of men. He tried to count them but was abruptly shoved aside by the man in a white dishdasha. He was grabbed by two others and they entered his house. He was immediately beaten to the ground as they shouted obscenities at him. Other men entered and grabbed his mother, who was reading in her bedroom, and his sister. He started to ask what they wanted, but he was shut up by a punch to the face. As they pulled his mother from the bedroom she was hit by the butt of a kalisnakov. Salem covered his mother to protect her. He whispered to her to keep quiet so she would stay alive, because he knew the men attacking them had lost their humanity and had no mercy. The kalisnakov found his shoulder, then his back. He was beaten for four hours, until he could not stand, until he could not see because he was bleeding so profusely from his face and head. He heard his sister pleading with the men, "We will give you everything, just leave my brother."
At one am the beating stopped. "Perhaps they were tired, I don't know", says Salem with a sad smile and a look of agony in his eyes as he recounts the episode. "There is one thing you must understand about me; I never hurt an ant, a fly, a cat, a person. I am an artist perhaps that is why they attacked me." As he lay on the floor in a pool of his own blood, the men loaded two trucks with the family's possessions. The trucks left, then returned for a second load. When the house was stripped of everything of value, the men began to leave. They dragged him by the hair to his sister's side pulling clumps out by the roots in the process. They grabbed his sister saying they would bring her back when he came up with some more money. He said to them, "We have no more money, you have everything we own, but you should leave my sister, we have a very big family and they will come after you." Whether they believed his weak threat or they were just tired, the men left, leaving his sister behind.
The family abandoned their home and moved in with another sister and her family. Salem spent months in bed recovering from his injuries.
"By 2007 my sister and I had returned to my family home. My mother had died and I lost another sister as well, a lot happens over such a period of time." The violence never stopped, I was kidnapped many times. One day my sister came home distraught. A neighbor had told her, "We like you a lot, we love your family. For your own good, you need to get outside. Just go." She told my sister that my name had appeared on a death list of one of the militias." Salem had just directed a short play at his college about war and occupation. He thought that just the creation of a play was enough of a reason to be targeted by a militia. "I don't know why, it is illogical to destroy a human life just for making something. They kill doctors, lawyers, teachers. For what I ask? It is illogical." At first, Salem refused to go, but his sister arranged everything then spent an entire night convincing him he had to leave. He left but still regrets that he allowed the only person who cared for him behind.
Salem now lives in a squalid 2 room flat with a shared toilet down the hall in a very poor Palestinian neighborhood. Piece by piece he has sold his furniture to buy material. He has an idea for a fashion show and is busy sewing the outfits. He complains that there is no money to rent a proper hall, with the correct lighting and sound. He carries on, planning a new play, "About war of course". As we leave, he escorts us out of the neighborhood. We draw the attention of some young men who follow us for a while. I am not sure if it is because a foreigner is in the group, or because Salem looks just a bit flamboyant with his dinner jacket with a hankie in the breast pocket, a black kaffieh wrapped around his neck, a French beret on his head and his orange tinted glasses. Later, my friend tells me that he heard the boys talking about Salem as they followed us. He encouraged him to leave the neighborhood, that he was not safe. Salem balked. He will stay. He has nowhere else to go.

The winner for the Cool Japan Festival Squid Hunt is...Jesus Huero! Congrats for getting it up first on our Facebook page. Jesus wins a $50 gift certificate to Kinokuniya. It was a close competition, with only a two-minute difference between the first and second entries. Thanks to everyone who participated! It wouldn't have been fun without you all.
At the festival, many people and people of all ages were searching for the missing squids; we saw everyone from toddlers to adults taking pictures of them.
This event was unfortunately not without tragedy, as two of the squids got lost at different points during the festival. They were duly recovered, and traumatized with their squishy squid feelings, they sought refuge. One clung nearby one of his Fugu (puffer fish) accomplice friends, and the other decided to latch himself and his "L" onto a JapanTown team member! Additionally, we're aware of some people's confusion in posting, and in our next contests, we will be clearer in our instructions to post. We'd like to thank all of the diligent participants again for their enthusiasm in this activity.

Internalizing Human Rights in Corporate Business Practices
Robinson, Mary, UN Chronicle
What do people around the globe consider the most important task of the United Nations in the twenty-first century? The results of the "Millennium Survey"--the world's largest-ever public opinion poll--show that the protection of human rights is the organization's primary assignment.
The findings of the survey, featured in Secretary-General Kofi Annan's Millennium Assembly Report, should be no surprise, given the challenges to human rights in the world today: racial discrimination and gender inequality are daily realities for millions; torture, arbitrary execution and slavery remain common practice in many countries; and poverty--a fifth of the world's population exists on a dollar a day--the list goes on.
In the lead-up to the Millennium Summit in September 2000, a debate is under way about the United Nations ability to address these challenges in a world being transformed by the global economy and the information technology revolution. The benefits of globalization are enormous for some, but for far too many people on the planet remain, at best, a promise. The Secretary-General addresses this in the Millennium Report: "We must ensure that globalization becomes a positive force for all the world's peoples, instead of leaving billions of them behind in squalor."
My mandate as United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights calls for me to enhance international cooperation for the promotion and protection of human rights, to in effect make the globalization of human rights central to the globalization debate. While I am more convinced than ever that real progress requires, first and foremost, that Governments live up to the letter of their commitments to human rights, I also firmly believe that innovative approaches and the contributions of new partners are crucial.
The UN system is redoubling its efforts to work more effectively with non-State actors, such as global companies, trade unions, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and international networks of civil society, to help it achieve its goals. One of the tools being developed to strengthen these relationships is the Secretary-General's Global Compact initiative, focussed on engaging the private sector in the United Nations mission to advance human rights, core labour standards and environmental sustainability. Its nine principles are based on internationally agreed standards found in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Labour Organization's Declaration on fundamental principles and rights at work, and the Rio Declaration adopted at the 1992 UN Earth Summit, which express a dear set of universal values supported by the international community. As such, the Compact is capable of providing a frame of reference for other industry initiatives or regional, government-led efforts.
Some have asked why the United Nations should develop a Global Compact with business. These voices express the concern that corporations are already too powerful and that closer partnership with the United Nations will only enhance that power. They point out that the 100 biggest companies have a combined annual revenue larger than the gross domestic product of half the world's nations and contend that big business is only interested in playing by the rules of free trade. …

I just thought I'd post a quick tip on something I learned yesterday - Linking in a post.
So, I was trying to write a comment on someone else's blog, and wanted to refer them to a link....but the only way I knew how to do it was to type out the whole long address (i.e. http://.....) Rather, I wanted to have it linked (i.e. GOOGLE...) So, after a bit of research and critical thinking, here is the answer:
You can do links in comments. All you need to know, is the simple code for "link"
GOOGLE
This displays it as GOOGLE
You can just copy and paste this code where you need it, replacing the http:// address with the address you want, and the "GOOGLE" with the text you want to appear! TaDa!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
In April 2017 I will be taking on the challenge of a lifetime. I will be cycling from Northern Ireland to Turkey! This is a trip of well over 3,000 miles and will take me approximately 6 weeks to complete. My journey is self supported, meaning I'll be carrying everything I need with me on the bike and will camp out to save funds. I'm cycling through Ireland, France, Italy, Greece and Turkey.
So why am I doing this? I am hoping to raise as much money as possible to support the work of Open Doors. Open Doors is an international ministry that serves persecuted Christians and churches worldwide. This includes the Middle East.
Through churches and partner organisations in Syria and Iraq, Christians have received Bibles, training, relief aid and trauma care. In the past year alone, over 27,000 families have been sustained by monthly relief packs. Our emergency supplies have become a symbol of God's hope.
Follow my progress on FaceBook where I'll post daily photos and videos. "Like" the Open Doors U.K. And Ireland Facebook page for regular updates
Will you donate £5 to get me a mile on my journey? This means that I hope to raise £15,000 in total.
Please help me to fundraise to support Christians for whom living out their faith means facing beatings, imprisonment, discrimination and abuse, or being forced to leave their homes.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Picture: from http://www.ocregister.com/articles/point-504407-schmidt-one.html
I was looking through articles on the web and ran into this one. I have always thought that the feelings I get from surfing a wave or connecting with nature in a unique way leaves me with very strong positive feelings. I have read that surfing has helped kids with autism, and I have seen the benefits to someone who is really stressed out with work (me mainly). Just going for a paddle on a stand up paddle board or taking a surf gets me focused on natures many gifts. Surfing waves gets the adrenaline going which increases reflexes and reaction time but it also gives off dopamine, which stimulates our reward and pleasure centers in our brain. In simple terms in makes us feel good or as surfers like to say we feel "Stoked!"
The next time you are feeling down get into the water and do something physical. Come and stand up paddle, surf, kayak, swim, what ever.
Get close to Mother Ocean!
Update: 1st December 2014.
This was a post that I put up early last year, and I decided to do a follow up with it. Seems Will Schmidt recently completed a 1400 mile paddle from Canada to Mexico, in support of the Wounded Warrior Project. It also helped him fight his depression. Next time you are feeling down and out, get outside and do something physical. Come an learn to Stand Up Paddle in Tobago or just go outside and take a walk.

Now I am at the end of a prescribed 15 days, extended to 20 days, of medical treatment. Within that time I have had 15 phlebitis injections, 4 blood tests, and 8 or more changes of bandage. One would not get this level of treatment in England. Even if I have to pay towards the treatment I do not care. If the car has to be serviced I have to pay!! So why not pay for the engine that keeps me alive.
I am never an easy patient. A few days ago when my foot was pulsating, the nurse tried to remove flaky, dead skin, but the build-up of stress from being poked about for many days got to me and I cried!!! I do this when I cannot cope with stress! Pathetic... but there it is! The nurse who I had pre-judged to be rather stern, compared to the first nurse, has, in fact, a veritable heart of gold and I have come to have enormous regard and respect for her. One should never pre-judge a person by it's cover!! I was very surprised when she tipped me on the chin and gave me a kiss on the cheek because I had been crying. I was so touched that I had to cry again with happiness! THAT kind of action certainly would be misinterpreted in England if it were to occur!!! Then on the following day, departing through the doorway she blew me a kiss. I think she explained that she was happier to see me smiling and not crying. She speaks no English and although my French has improved I do not understand totally. I empathise with her and realise that she must have been quite anxious about communication with Les Anglais. . Why is it that when someone is a foreigner we tend to shout at them? She shouts far less now.
The foot has healed extremely well and the wonderful nurse has removed the final scab, stitches and some dead skin from the foot. I have been putting copious amounts of oils of evening primrose, argan and lavender onto both feet. These all have healing properties for wounds and scars. I have also used cream of arnica and although the foot is still a little swollen, the bruising has disappeared. I took Arnica tablets and echinacea before the op and it is my belief that this has really helped a quick recovery.
I really have to thank Captain Sensible for caring for me (yet again) as I will be unable to drive for at least another three weeks. Improvement arrives daily and yesterday, instead of hobbling, I could wander slowly around the supermarket. In the 19 days since the operation, I have not been allowed to do anything that has required me to walk or stand. He has cooked and cleaned and started to plant the potatoes in the garden. The latter is hard on his back.
Now that time is passing. Yesterday I cooked my first meal in four weeks!! We had delicious Cauliflower Cheese, grilled parsnip, potato and carrot shavings and Captain Sensible also had 4 pork meatballs made from the pork terrine mixture I had created earlier. He now smells of garlic!! It is extremely economical and we must make some more. I also made a Steamed Marmalade pudding.
Last night I hobbled to the French Group who are learning English. It was M's birthday so we drank some Champagne and ate pink foil-wrapped chocolate rabbits and chocolate fish. I gave my group dictation and we discussed the history of April Fool's day, whereas the Captain's group continued their topic on the expression of feelings in present, past and future tenses.
It was an end to a busy day which had commenced with a piano lesson - a duet with Laurie.
And back to today ... the first lizard has been seen. Just when I think life is hard a little light of joy gives so much pleasure.
A few days later, the nurse arrives to check my foot. She is very pleased with how it has healed so quickly and I am so happy that each day it is less sore. She enters my Carte Vitale into her machine and tells me I have nothing to pay. Amazing! I give her two 'Tecolote Ranunculus' plants - for her and her 'remplacement' - with a little dedication of my appreciation of their professional help, 'bisou' in the French manner and say 'au revoir'. I walk to the future.
Look at this if you need to have a bunion op!

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C)
The amino acid sequences of homologous proteins from evolutionarily distant organisms are different to large extents as a result of the molecular evolution of the proteins. For example, difference of ca.45% in sequence is seen between horse and yeast cytochromes c (cyt c's). The spatial structures of homologous proteins are, however, strikingly similar. This structural conservation can be produced by two alternative mechanisms. In the first mechanism, no structural change is caused by each of the amino acid substitutions that occur in the proteins. In the second mechanism, structural changes induced by amino acid substitutions are compensated by substitutions that follow them. Interspecies hybrid proteins can be structurally unstable if the second mechanism realizes the structural conservation. In the present study, horse-yeast hybrid cyt c was prepared by semisynthesis. 12 amino acid sequence differences are seen between horse and the hybrid cyt c's. The spectroscopic and physicochemical properties of the hybrid were compared with those of its parent molecules. The spectral features of the hybrid cyt c indicated that the hybrid cyt c has the same heme coordination structure as those of the parent molecules. Analysis of the guanidine hydrochloride denaturation curves of the hybrid and its parent cyt c's showed that the stability of the hybrid is intermediate between those of the parent molecules. In addition, the measurement of the imidazole binding constants of these cyt c's revealed that the stability of the closed heme crevice structure of the hybrid cyt c is also intermediate between those of the parent molecules. These results indicate that the 12 amino acid substitutions seen in the hybrid cyt c are accommodated at their spatial positions with only minor perturbation of the structure of horse cyt c. Furthermore, the results suggest that these amino acid substitutions change additively the stabilities of the global and local structures of cyt c.

A fifth-grade boy who had heard a sermon on persistence in prayer was praying by himself in his room one night. As his dad passed his door, he heard the boy praying over and over again, "Tokyo, Tokyo, Tokyo." The next day, the dad asked his son what we was doing. The boy replied that he had given the wrong answer on a test for the capital of Mexico, and he was praying that God would make Tokyo the capital of Mexico.
I think the boy was a little unclear on the concept, don't you? But sometimes, we do the same. We want God to adjust to us rather than our seeking what God wants and adjusting to Him.

They say you can never go wrong with a Tod's handbag, with its exquisite detail, fine craftsmanship, and impeccable contemporary luxury. Every Tod leather product has an assurance that they are all hand-made in Italy, and this snakeskin day bag is no exception.
This day bag, which is also available in cornflower blue and dark slate blue with snakeskin pattern, is made of soft authentic snake leather with a front flap and a braided double strap. The depth is adjustable through the drawstrings on each side. It appears boho at first impression, but its chicness is definitely unmistakable. However, at $3900, would you be willing to splurge on it?
The answer: Go ahead! This snakeskin day bag from Tod's should not be considered as "just another 'it' bag", as its style can surely surpass many fashion seasons.

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Thoracic outlet syndrome occurs when the blood vessels and nerves under the collarbone that travel to the arm are compressed between the collarbone and the first rib.
- Trauma to the shoulder or collarbone area
- An extra rib above the first rib
- Abnormally tight fibrous band (ligament) that connects the spinal vertebra to the ribs
Risk Factors
- A long, muscular neck
- Droopy shoulders
- Poor posture
You may have thoracic outlet syndrome if you experience these symptoms:
- Pain, numbness and tingling in the last three fingers and inner forearm
- You repetitively extend your arms over your head or your arm turns pale when lifted.
- Weakness and fatigue in the forearm and hand muscles, particularly when doing something with your arms over the head like washing your hair
- Pain and tingling in the neck and shoulders, which may worsen if you carry something heavy
Treatment at UVA
Our specialists can diagnose you tests including:
- X-ray
- Upper extremity blood pressure evaluation
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Electromyography
Your doctor may suggest physical therapy or surgery to alleviate the pressure and compression of the artery or nerves. Surgery may require removal of the first rib and the constricting bands and muscles.
If your problem is a result of a previous collarbone fracture, your doctor may remove your collarbone. A bypass may be required to reconstruct the artery if it's been compressed for a long time or is permanently injured.

Juventus striker Alessandro Matri has claimed his offside strike should take the sting out of Sulley Muntari's disallowed header, following his side's 1-1 draw with Serie A rivals AC Milan on Saturday.
The Ghanaian looked to have scored a perfectly-legitimate goal 10 minutes after Antonio Nocerino's early opener, as the ball was shown to have crossed the line despite Gianluigi Buffon's best efforts to clear the effort, but the linesman deemed that it wasn't a goal.
However, Matri also had a valid goal of his own chalked off for offside near the end of the encounter, and he believes the two incidents have cancelled each other out in a bid to defuse tensions after the match.
"My disallowed goal? It ties us with AC Milan, as I have said [Muntari's header] to be a regular goal," the 27-year-old Sky Sport Italia.
Nevertheless, Matri managed to salvage a draw for Juventus late on and preserve their unbeaten start to the campaign, much to the relief of the striker, who reckons the point may not be decisive in the title race, but important for team morale as the business end of the season approaches.
"It was important we were able to equalise in such a difficult match. It's a draw that makes a difference in the league table, but not one that will be decisive in the race for the title.
"[The result] also keeps our momentum going, which for us is the most important thing," he concluded.
Juventus remain in second place and one point behind Milan at the Serie A summit, but have a game in hand over their rivals.

My all time favorite name in fashion is Trina Turk. I remember discovering her line fifteen years ago and thinking - "My gawwwd - this woman has been reading my diary!"
Flash forward to 2012 and I still love me some Trina. Honest to goodness, I gave great consideration to naming my daughter (then the dog), Trina, but couldn't get much support from my other half.
She came to speak at the SF Design Center on Tuesday and I was ready-to-go in my vintage Trina Turk dress, equipped with my SLR. This was no occasion for just an iPhone camera.
After the talk, while gathering in front of the meet-and-greet location with my girlfriends, Trina walked by. I'm pretty sure we bum rushed her... at least, I did. She was so sweet, asking all our names, and thanking us sincerely. I got in a verbal vomit, professing my love for her, color and pattern. I want to say there were maybe even tears streaming down my face, but it's really all a blur now.
A big thanks goes out here to some guy named *Donald* who stood nearby with a hand on the Bible, swearing he knew how to use a camera. Oh, Donald, if you only knew how much your arrogance cost me!!! ;)
