Well, I'm just going to start typing. Because you have to begin somewhere. Writing a birth story three years after writing the birth story is interesting. My, how we change over time. And yet really, I'm still the same girl. The one who started dreaming of being a mama when she was barely big enough to hold a baby. The one who held giant spaces in her heart reserved for three beautiful children, and she didn't even know it. The one who possesed a multitude of strengths that would stretch and grow throughout the years, guiding her through challenges, pulling her toward victories, and always always pushing her towards a greater love.
First, I'll preface this by saying that writing the stories of my babies' welcomings is done freely. I didn't reread or edit my girls' before posting, and this will follow suit. I write. I write and I write and I write, and whatever falls onto this screen gets published. Love and honesty without censoring is how I like my kids' birth stories to be preserved. A bit has changed on this blog since I wrote Nella's birth story. More readers, more hearts, more stories, more scrutiny, more perceptions, but I'd like to believe–and I do–ultimately…more love. For our families and our children and our unique journeys. I think that's all I have to say about that.
There are scribbles of precious unshared moments from my children's births that are hidden in baby books, and there are parts of these chapters–also precious–that I share. It is a common thread that runs through the tapestry of motherhood–all kinds of mamas, hundreds of thousands of unique and beautiful children, miles of earth that separate us, cultures and beliefs and families that identify us–but each of our children has a story of how they were welcomed.
This is Dashel's.
A Little Story to Begin
Last year, Brett's Grandma Betty passed away on May 25th. She didn't say much the last couple days before she died, but she had a few moments where she asked some interesting questions, according to Brett's dad. "Who are the people in the mirror?" was one. And another…"Who's the baby?"
Brett's dad asked "What baby?," and all she replied was, "There's a baby." A month later, we found out we were expecting. Grandma Betty would have celebrated her 91st birthday last week, on February 13th. She always wished she was born a day later…on Valentine's Day.
I felt a deep desire for this baby shortly after Nella was born. I wanted this baby for Nella, for Lainey, for us, for a lot of reasons really. But it didn't happen like I planned (hello life lesson #242–I think I'm finally gettin' this one). A couple miscarriages and then crickets for almost a year–until I self-therapy'ed myself into a very good place of peace and acceptance and moving on. I was thankful for my two girls and so very aware that we can't control a lot of things in life…but we can be happy. If it happened, it happened.
And then we went on the best vacation of our lives last year–a road trip to Michigan where Wanderlust and Relaxation traded hands at the wheel and drove the ship together for three weeks. I felt so presently aware of how much my family makes me happy. Even in the car, after seven hours of driving when the girls were shot, there was us. And for three weeks the four of us were together, walking the busy streets of Chicago, scouring Lake Michigan for smooth stones, fishing from the edge of the dock by our cottage. I had no idea that the four of us was really five of us until I snuck into the tiny bathroom of Glenn's grocery store in Lewiston, Michigan to take a pregnancy test. When I screamed, the four cousins who were standing outside started banging on the door. When I let them in, we tightly huddled, shared a group hug, jumped up and down and took a picture in the blurry mirror above the dirty sink. We called the baby "Squirt" because we went back to the cottage for a toast, and among the clinks of Coors Light glass bottles, there was a tinny tap of one soda can, my Squirt.
I waited until we heard a heartbeat, until we made it through a couple of "this one's going to make it" ultrasounds before I let it sink in. And while I thought I wanted another girl because girls are what I know, I had no idea that what I really wanted was a boy. Sometimes you don't know you want these things until fate picks them for you. And then you're thankful that you don't get to make all your own choices because that would be kind of selfish and boring, and you'd never get to experience your secret wants–the ones only fate knows.
A boy. My son.
My water broke last Thursday morning. I went in for a quick appointment to check on everything and was sent straight to the hospital with nothing but my purse. That's what Heidis are for. They pick up husbands and baby bags and cameras and everything you need for once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
I spent an hour alone in the birth room before anyone arrived. We chose a different hospital for this birth–a half hour away and close to the Isles of Capri. I loved the peaceful environment, the view, and that calm hour I spent alone with the comforting sound of my boy's heart, transmitted in a constant stream of ba-bum, ba-bum, ba-bum from the monitors strapped around my very large middle. I wasn't nervous or scared or anxious, just present.
One of my favorite things from all my births? The warming bed–the tiny diaper and bulb syringe and stretchy striped hat that's laid out for my baby–the one who's still inside me. There's always this gripping moment of reality when I see those three items. They represent the transformation that's about to happen–that the baby I've dreamed of and felt move and imagined holding is moments away from being real, from being placed in that diaper and dressed in that hat and placed in my arms. That realization has made me cry for all three births. "Send me a picture of the empty crib," my sister texted. It's important, that moment.
Brett and Heidi arrived along with a little surprise–Nella came too. I got to hug her as my baby one last time before Brett ran her home to his mom for a nap.
And then several hours of this incredibly significant time. Baby prepares, Mama prepares. Our room felt full of love–music and candles, favorite things from home, stories with friends and my husband who was very nervous and cautious. I didn't realize until after Dash was born just how nervous he was this time.
Heidi feng shui'ed as Heidi does. I ate popsicles. Brett paced the room and constantly asked everyone if they needed anything.
And the pain increased. "Tell me if you want an epidural," the nurses said, and I made note of the fact that they estimated half an hour for the anesthesiologist's arrival. I knew I'd probably want one eventually–I had one with the girls–but I also wanted to breathe through some contractions. I wanted to feel as much of this birth, as crazy as that sounds, as I could.
Pre-drugs, your pain is monitored only by your own perception of contractions, on a scale of 1 to 10. "That was a four," I started off reporting. Then four built to five, five to six, and by seven, I had invented a brilliant pain management plan. Instead of moaning or cursing, you yell celebrities' names–obscure ones–the more interesting, the better. I admit I stole this from Steve Carell in Forty Year Old Virgin when he screamed "Kelly Clarkston" during a chest wax. But I can honestly say, shouting "BOB HOPE!" and "FLORENCE HENDERSON!" pulled me through the dooziest of doozies. And Heidi snapping "Oh my God, you can do better than that" makes you laugh; and when you laugh, Contraction-of-an-8 feels like Contraction-of-a-3. Which is good, contractionally speaking.
Somewhere near breaking point, we said that thing you say to make it feel better: "Just think, he's going to be here soon, and everything's going to be perfect." That's when I let myself honestly confront my fears. I cried–not for long, but long enough. Because I remembered saying those same words moments before Nella was born. And even though everything turned out fine–more than fine–I like to listen to these feelings and to fears and to everything that hums within. My last birth and my present birth shared a bridge for a short moment, and I felt the depth of those beautiful moments again which is exactly what propelled me to the place I needed to be when they told me that my boy was ready to come out.
Oh, and the epidural? I finally asked for one. And got it. But his head was too big and down too far, so it didn't work. Even after two "refills" and a billion clicks of that clicky thing they give you to administer your own boost. I actually think the clicky thing is for purely psychological reasons now because even when I knew it wouldn't give me anything, it felt really good to click the bejesus out of it during a bad contraction.
So they say "You're ready. Time to push." And right now I can close my eyes and remember everything about what happens when they say that. How the room suddenly shifts as nurses excitedly prepare; how the ligthing changes; how the faces of your friends suddenly express more love as if that's possible; how your husband holds your hand so tight, you can feel his fear through his grip, and if you've ever wondered how much he loves you, you have a pretty good idea by the way he looks at you; how you start crying and can't stop–a little bit because it hurts but a lot because you know that you're about to meet your baby and mere seconds separate you from one of the single greatest, most love-filled moments of your life.
They told me to push. And I did, crying "Am I supposed to feel all of this?" through all of it. I remember holding Brett's hand so so tightly and feeling like he had such strong safe hands. I remember him telling me I was doing a really good job. I remember the pain. I remember the comfort of my friends and hearing them cry and feeling lucky to share moments like this with people I love so very much. I remember my doctor and her kindness, her gentle instructions and feeling safe and comfortable with her in charge. And in hindsight, I'm glad the epidural didn't work so good. Because I felt my son make his way into the world.
Oh to go back and have that moment again. The euphoric moment of seeing him held high, pink and perfect and crying. Reaching out my arms in the most desperate grasp to hold him, and finally feeling the weight of his body and drawing him to my face where I could kiss him. Skin to skin, we connected. He cried one good hearty cry while I sobbed steadily but smiled. Beamed. I kissed his nose and made note that it was cold–colder than the rest of him. And we fell in love, my son and me.
*My friends Heidi and Laura once again captured our sweet first moments
The nurses took him only for a moment, but my eyes didn't leave him.
Dr. Clements, our wonderful doctor who helped bring this boy into the world
Brett asked about fifteen times "Is he okay? Are you sure? Is she okay? Are you sure?" But I knew the moment he let go and breathed in the relief that everything was okay. He was suddenly calm and elated while together, we welcomed our boy.
Sweet Baby Dash. He blink-blink-blinked just like the girls did, taking in the first lights and sounds of his new world. He clearly responded to our voices, even stretching and reaching back towards Brett when Daddy hummed his first hello. "Did you see that?" I asked Brett. He was smiling radiantly. "Yes."
These moments? I have them forever. These are the ones I'll go back to both when things are rough and when life feels glorious. When parenting is hard, when years replace days in separating me from the moment he arrived, when I don't have the answers and he's not tiny and I'm not the one and only thing he needs for survival, I'll remember what it felt like to be handed my son–how quickly and deeply that love began, and I'll find perspective hidden in these memories.
Later that evening, Brett returned home to our girls while I paid no heed to the things they tell you about resting that first night. I can't sleep. I want to stare at him and study everything about him. I want to talk about babies and life and begin tallying up the hilarious moments during the birth that we knew would be shared later. So Heidi and I whispered for hours by candlelight and Bon Iver and ate chocolates and roasted almonds while Dash got kissed and snuggled.
I talked about how different it felt from Nella's birth–how nice it was not to be crying and scared and yet strangely, I admitted that part of me actually missed the memory of those painful, precious moments after her birth. It's hard to explain.
We finally slept a few hours, Dash's little cradle cart pulled perfectly parallel to my bed so that when I opened my eyes, I could see his face; I could reach over and touch the cold nose that I had kissed for the first time just hours before.
Everything felt so incredibly calm. The evening, the next morning, the trail of visitors, Brett's voice on the phone when he called to take food orders and let me know the girls were on their way. Calm and sunny–a giant picture window framed our room and poured a constant stream of sunshine throughout the day.
one of my favorite photos from the hospital, taken by my friend Monica, from her phone
For both girls' births, there were so many specific things I had planned for and remember happening, and this time around I was in a happy haze, observant in a different way of the events around me. Relaxed, receptive.
I didn't cry when the girls met their brother but rather smiled and sat calmly on the bed, watching them, marveling at the fact that it seemed so meant to be–like he'd always been here and they'd always loved him.
Babies who suck their fingers are funny
*Thank you to my father-in-law who took all the beautiful photos of the girls welcoming their new brother

Curious sisters watch his hearing test
Lainey and I shared some very special hours together in the hospital. After a stream of visitors left, we decided to let Lainey stay alone with me and Dash for a little bit while Brett took Nella home for a nap. I know she'll never forget those moments. We veered from our nursing routine for one feeding to give her the opportunity of giving him a bottle, something she had talked about a lot before he was born. Watching that? Well, that one made me cry. Such a quiet bonding experience between little brother and his second mama–a relationship that has captivated me this week in way I hadn't anticipated.
I love the hospital moments. I love that for every second I'm there, it feels special, like a vacation–the one where a new baby is welcomed and mamahood is celebrated. And being that this was my last mamahood hospital vacation, my heart was raw. I remembered each of my children's stories–how they were welcomed, how the moments in that hospital were spent.
His coming home outfit, crocheted by my mama; and that's a yawn, not a cry
Saturday evening, as we packed up and gathered all the memory tokens from the room before we headed home, I held back tears and turned around once more before we left. Room 11, added to the Hall of Fame. I thanked the sacred space for the memories it delivered. Another birth story written. Another soul to love. And he's ours to take home.
I can't believe it's been a week. I've succumbed to a few normal postpartum blues breakdowns this week–just wanting to stop time, wanting to go back to that day, wanting to preserve that memory as long as I can–hence the hospital bracelets still hugging my wrist and the playlist from his birth continuously repeated. I am trying to balance my sentimental heart with the one that embraces reality and understands that the present is the most important time. Not yearning for the past, not needlessly anticipating the future. Just living right now, in this moment.
So, we're doing that.
Something about the juxtaposition of a big strong teenage boy holding a tiny fragile one completely melts me.
*Another favorite photo. How inventive this girl is in finding ways to get to him. Unlike another moment earlier this week, this one didn't involve a pointer stick between the crib slats. Or Frosted Mini Wheats flung into his Moses Basket.
You know, we've come a long way as women. Our culture recognizes and celebrates our accomplishments, talents and unique gifts far more than it did fifty years ago. Much good has come from voices for feminism. And today, we talk a lot about recognizing and valuing our identity outside of motherhood. I know that's important. I have no doubt that if I didn't have children, I would have found fulfilment and happiness in other things and I wouldn't have been any less of a woman or lover or nurturer as I am today as the mother of three.
But I can also say that I am an independent woman who is completely and utterly in love with motherhood–so much that yes, my identity is and forever will be intertwined with this gift–being their mother.
How incredibly grateful I feel right now to be given our boy. And what a treasure this week has been.
So there you have it.
A birth story–more laid back, but then again, so is he. Pretty chill, pretty calm.
The best thing about birth stories?
They are just the beginning. There is more to be written for our family, for our love, and for the life of our precious Dash, the sleepy boy who purrs when he dreams and cries in tiny, raspy, velociraptor squeaks.
It's as if he's always been here.

Here at Yakwax we take the security and privacy of our customers very seriously. To help us achieve this we only use the highest standards of payment transaction methods available on the Internet. We have incorporated a couple of different methods for paying, This is to give our customers the highest level of convenience for you to choose the payment method that best suits you.
If you are paying for your purchase by Credit/Debit card you will be receiving the highest level of security for your card available on the Internet as well as ease of use and convenience. The reason you will be receiving this high level of service is because we process all our card transactions using the services of Paypal Payments Pro. We accept VISA, VISA ELECTRON, VISA DEBIT and MASTERCARD. We also offer the services of MASTERCARD SECURE CODE and VERIFIED BY VISA.
All transaction information passed between merchant sites and the payment gateway, it is encrypted using 128-bit SSL certificates. No cardholder information is ever passed unencrypted and any messages sent to your servers from the gateway are signed using MD5 hashing to prevent tampering. You can be completely secure in the knowledge that nothing you pass to the Paypal Payments Pro servers can be examined, used or modified by any third parties attempting to gain access to sensitive information.
Once on their systems, all sensitive data is secured using the same internationally recognised 256-bit encryption standards used by, among others, the US Government. The encryption keys are held on state-of-the-art, tamper proof systems in the same family as those used to secure VeriSign's Global Root certificate, making them all but impossible to extract. The data they hold is extremely secure and they are regularly audited by the banks and banking authorities to ensure it remains so.
Paypal Payments Pro has multiple private links into the banking network that are completely separate from the Internet and which do not cross any publicly accessible networks. Any cardholder information sent to the banks and any authorisation message coming back is secure and cannot be tampered with.

The Kansas Legislature is considering bills that would allow partisan politics in local elections and change when they are held.
The Kansas Legislature is considering bills that would allow partisan politics in local elections and change when they are held.
One bill before the Kansas Senate would allow local elections to be partisan and held in even-numbered years, while another would have them in odd-numbered years. The House bill calls for the local elections to remain non-partisan and be held in odd-numbered years, The Lawrence Journal-World reported (http://bit.ly/16wNtr2 ).
Local elections are currently held in the spring of odd-numbered years.
Brad Bryant, deputy assistant secretary of state, said in testimony before the House elections committee that moving the elections to November, when the national general vote is held, would increase voter turnout.
"It's consistent. It's predictable," Bryant said. "The voters would know what to expect. There would be no confusion about if there is election or when it is."
But in response to a question from Rep. John Alcala, D-Topeka, Bryant acknowledged he had no data to prove moving the elections would increase turnout.
In a hearing Tuesday before the Senate elections committee, Rep. Steve Huebert, R-Wichita, said moving the elections would save state and local governments money because they would not have to open polling places as often.
However, Mike Taylor, director of public relations for the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kan., said he opposed allowing local elections to become partisan contests.
"City issues tend not to be partisan," Taylor said. "They really don't fit in with Republican and Democrat talking points. They're more about potholes or whether we should build a community center; those are the types of issues that are talked about in those races."
Taylor and other opponents also said local elections would not get the attention they deserve if they were held at the same time as the general election.
Kelly Arnold, chairwoman of the Kansas Republican Party, said in written testimony that allowing partisan elections would increase turnout because political parties encourage participation.
"Partisan designations help voters elect the person who aligns with their philosophy," Arnold wrote. "Municipal elections are so low-key most voters don't vote because they know nothing of the candidates."
Senate minority leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, said on Tuesday that the right wing of the Republican Party wants local elections to be partisan so it can dominate all of the political scene in Kansas.
"Whatever arguments they raise for increased turnout and reducing cost is just a big smoke screen to hide the fact that they are out to take over and have as much control over state and local government as they can possibly get," Hensley said.

I agree wholeheartedly. If one learns to understand spoken Latin for example, it would seem easier to read because there is always time to look over it.

People who learn to speak a language learn to read it more fluently. Reading, writing, speaking and listening to a language are all different skills, though of course related. Speaking Latin may seem pointless, but there are solid, research-based reasons to try to get people learning all languages - even purely literary (dead) ones - to speak them to improve their comprehension.

So, learning to speak Latin may not be useful for going to Rome unless you hang out with the Curia, but it will help you learn the language much better.

I've been told that there are a number of very entertaining liberal talk show hosts on XM radio. Unfortunately I don't have one so I've never heard them.In the Houston area, most of the radio stations are owned by Clear Channel, which is notoriously conservative. To get any semblance of relief from Glenn Beck and his crowd, I have to listen to NPR (which was never actually liberal and has gotten even less so over the past decade) or Pacifica, most of which is so amateurish and badly produced that it's embarrassingly painful.
Nothing against most liberal talkers, but to be honest, I don't WANT to spend too much time listening to them. I don't want to isolate myself in a bubble where I only hear like-minded views until I become detached from reality, like conservatives do with their Fox News/talk radio axis.

I don't know of a single person who rejects the idea of personal responsibility
Glenn Beck Claims God Spoke to His 8-28 Rally with Flying GeeseDo you remember when Glenn Beck promised a miracle from God at his 8-28 rally? On his Fox News program today Beck unveiled the power of the Lord through flying geese. A flyover by some geese is what Beck is citing as his miracle. Beck called it "God's flyover.""I want to show you first that miracle that happened... At 9:59, what happened was there was a flock of geese. It was a flyover if you will. ... This was happening just as the opening music was starting. ... It was perfect coordination and perfect timing. Coincidence? Maybe? I think it was God's flyover. It was not supposed to happen." ...http://www.politicususa.com/en/beck-geese
geese flying over DC isn't supposed to happen?
Oh! Oh! God shoulda sent a Blue Angel!!That woulda been PERFECT. All those Teapartiers would have had a freakin' orgasm.
I always say what I mean. But sometimes I'm a sarcastic prick whose tone can't be properly communicated via text.

Here's another article claiming that Glenn Beck speaks in coded messages to religious believers.

Sheriff's deputies, with the assistance of local drug agents, charged a 48-year-old Dunnellon woman early Thursday with trafficking and manufacturing methamphetamine after reportedly dismantling a meth lab at her residence, officials said.
Alleged meth lab found at residence
Sheriff's deputies, with the assistance of local drug agents, charged a 48-year-old Dunnellon woman early Thursday with trafficking and manufacturing methamphetamine after reportedly dismantling a meth lab at her residence, officials said. She also was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Deputies got a tip about a possible meth lab at 13335 SW 15th Street Road in Dunnellon and talked with Donna Bearrington, who was outside. She gave permission to search the home, and they found a plastic bottle filled with meth hanging from a ceiling air vent.
The Unified Drug Enforcement Strike Team was contacted and removed the bottle. The liquid inside tested positive for meth and weighed 118 grams.
Bearrington told drug agents she is a meth user and had smoked some at 6 p.m. Wednesday, which was her 48th birthday.
Agents also said they found marijuana pipes, items used to make meth and a plastic bag containing marijuana in the home. Bearrington was arrested at 1:30 a.m. Thursday and taken to the Marion County Jail.
Officials report finding 82 pot plants at home
DUNNELLON — A Dunnellon couple was taken into custody Wednesday after drug agents reported finding 82 marijuana plants and other drugs inside their residence.
Marion County Sheriff's Office deputies went to 23140 SW 119th Place looking for Ashley R. Flick, 22, on a violation of probation warrant for possession of marijuana less than 20 grams.
Deputies encountered Khiry S. Mells, 22, and detected a strong marijuana odor coming from inside as Mells left the home.
Mells attempted to re-enter the home, but deputies told him not to. He called 911 several times after being told repeatedly not to enter the home.
Flick was seen leaving the home through a window and was detained.
The Unified Drug Enforcement Strike Team was called and obtained a search warrant. Inside the home, agents found the 82 marijuana plants in two rooms. Flick told officials she grows the marijuana so she and her boyfriend, Mells, can smoke it.
Flick was charged with cultivation of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Mells was charged with misuse of 911, cultivation of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Guns, laptop, more stolen from Citra home

In the middle of a five-game home stand, West Side rocked Calico Rock 12-2 on Monday before falling to Nemo Vista 15-7 on Tuesday in a game that was much closer than the final score indicated.
In the middle of a five-game home stand, West Side rocked Calico Rock 12-2 on Monday before falling to Nemo Vista 15-7 on Tuesday in a game that was much closer than the final score indicated. West Side led Nemo Vista 2-0 after three innings, but injuries began to take a toll as ace pitcher Ben Hargrove left the mound following the first inning and catcher Austin Kirkland exited with an arm injury. Down 8-4 in the sixth, the Eagles (2-3) had a chance to get back in the game when Hargrove, who moved to first base, sent a line drive to gap with the bases loaded. But Nemo Vista's center fielder tracked it down, making a running grab to end the inning. The Red Hawks (4-1) put the game away in the top of the seventh, plating seven runs with two outs as the Eagles struggled defensively, committing four errors. "The boys really battled against one of the top six or seven teams in Class A," said West Side Coach Shane Davis. "We have to get our arms in shape, and make the plays defensively if we want be able to compete with the better teams like Nemo, and hopefully in a month or so we will get there." In Monday's triumph over Calico Rock, Hargrove (3-for-4) paced the Eagles with three hits, including a triple, plus two RBI and three runs. Dalton Treece (3-for-4) also recorded three hits, while scoring two runs and driving home another. Hayden Gilmore (2-for-4) and Bryce Hipp (2-for-4) each finished with two hits, two runs and one RBI, while Mason Treece (2-for-3) added two hits, including one RBI. Kirkland (1-for-2) contributed two runs and one RBI. Kirkland and Jimmy Thomas pitched for the Eagles, combining for six strikeouts in five innings. West Side competes in the "South-Nemo" Classic this weekend with games to be played at South Side Bee Branch and Nemo Vista.

A Dixie Lady Deer Hunter
Article by Fred Messina, editor of "On Target Outdoors" from The Vicksburg Evening Post on Friday, January 19, 1990. Photo by Bob Phillips.
Bob Phillips came up the other day with a photo of his wife Marian and a deer she got on Brown's Point New Years Eve. The deer was an 8-point with 16 inches of inside spread that weighed in at 190 pounds. A nice trophy in anyone's book. However, the tale Bob told is that this was Marian's fourth deer this year and he claimed that he would have done better than he did if he had not spent so much time hauling Marian's deer out of the woods. Come off it, Bob. We all know who the hunter was.

The Big Piece sounded more like the Big Aristotle. Or, rather, the Big Tony Robbins.
An energetic and optimistic Ryan Howard labeled himself back to normal after a year spent battling the effects of Achilles surgery, and he labeled the Phillies a contender that is being unduly downgraded by the public.
"First, I want to address this 'old' thing, because that's all I keep hearing," Howard said late Thursday morning. "People keep talking about older, and older and older. There's a guy in this league in Jamie Moyer, who I'm sure people told him he was old and this and that, but Jamie Moyer would go out every year and show people that he can play and get it done. I don't buy into the whole old thing. It's about how young you feel inside. It's all about how well you take care of yourself.
"Everybody in this clubhouse goes out and works their butt off. Everybody goes in the offseason and we train and we do what we need to do. If people want to call us old, that's fine, but I think going out there this year we're going to show people that we're not old. As far as the Nationals and the other teams in the division, it's going to be a great division, it's going to be a fun division to watch. They had a great year last year, but once again, we had a lot of injuries.
"So call us old if you want to, that's fine if you want to sweep us under the rug, just don't be surprised. Don't be surprised."
Howard said that last season he was essentially playing on one leg because he had not redeveloped the muscles in the left leg that was operated on and immobilized after surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles in October of 2011. This year, he says those muscles are back, and the mental block that is often associated with traumatic injuries is gone.
"It's one of those things where you just weren't 100 percent confident in it," he said. "You can't do all the things that you would normally do. Sometimes you might try to make a cut or do something that you would normally do and you might feel something. Yeah, there's always going to be that little bit of fear in that back of your mind that you might rupture it again or what not, but now it's not even a second thought in my mind."
Howard missed the first three months of last season, then struggled when he returned.
"You don't realize how important spring training is until you don't have one," he said. "Being able to be here, create the chemistry with my teammates, just being healthy, just being ready to go."
Howard was particularly bad against lefties, hitting just .173 against them. He said he is focused on improving his performance in those situations, and believes he has the ability to hit lefties like he did in 2006, when his average was over .270 and his OPS over .900 against southpaws.
"I think (the problem is) a combination of listening to the noise, trying to please people, trying to go out there and people saying, oh, he can't hit lefties, I have to show them that I can hit lefties," Howard said. "Obviously, to get to the big leagues you have to hit lefties and righties. Like I said, putting all that aside and trusting in my ability. I know I can hit lefties, it's just a matter of going up there, being relaxed, having good ABs, getting good pitches and putting good swings on them."
Howard said his surgically-repaired leg is a non-issue.
"I want to go out and play 162 games and every game in the playoffs and the World Series," he said.
Is that realistic?
"Yeah, why not," he said. "That's what the offseason is for. That's why I train. That's why I do what I do, to go out there and try to play 162. I'm not the kind of guy who just wants to come out here and play 150 games and be cool with that."

Glen LeRoy, the dean of the College of Architecture and Design at Lawrence Technological University, is this year's recipient of the Gold Medal from the American Institute of Architects Michigan.
The Gold Medal is the highest honor that can be given to an AIA Michigan architect. It will be presented to LeRoy at AIA Michigan's annual Celebration of Architecture on June 7 at the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum in East Lansing.
A native of New Orleans, LeRoy earned a bachelor's degree in architecture at Tulane University in 1973. After some practice experience, he received a Master of Architecture and a Master of City Planning from the University of Pennsylvania in 1976. He later added a master's degree in architecture from Tulane in 2004.
Throughout his career, LeRoy has balanced teaching and practice. While teaching at the University of Kansas for 21 years, he founded the award-winning Kansas City Urban Design Studio, which was credited with changing the dialogue in the city regarding design and planning.
For his work in the Urban Design Studio, LeRoy was elevated to a Fellowship in the American Institute of Architects in 1999. He became a Fellow of the American Institute of Certified Planners two years later.
He also was a principal in Gould Evans Associates, with offices in Kansas City and six other cities. He led the firm to national prominence in urban design, planning, and campus planning, as well as architecture.
Since becoming dean in 2005, LeRoy has transformed and stabilized LTU's College of Architecture and Design through program diversification, applied research, international studies, and technological integration. He instituted a work/study graduate fellowship program with Detroit area firms that has raised in excess of $1 million in direct fellowship aid and employment support for graduate students.
Under his leadership, LTU's College of Architecture and Design is establishing a consolidated design center in the urban core of Detroit, which is scheduled to open in early 2015. The Center for Design and Technology will feature design studios, an exhibition gallery, academic research facilities, K-12 design education programs, and community partnerships.
LeRoy's AIA Michigan leadership has included serving on the Fellows Committee, the board of directors, and the board's executive committee. He served as AIA Michigan board educational liaison from 2008-2011 and recently completed a three-year term as Michigan's regional director to the AIA National Board of Directors. In 2010, he received the AIA Michigan President's Award.
LeRoy has received over 70 professional, community service, and academic awards and honors. He has delivered over 200 public or scholarly presentations and has been published over 30 times.

Federal agencies are required by law (Title 5, U.S. Code, Section 3396) to establish programs for the continuing development of senior executives.
SES members are required to prepare, implement, and regularly update an EDP as specified by 5 CFR 412.401. The Executive Development Plan (EDP) is a key tool in assisting executives in their continued development. EDPs should outline a senior executive's short-term and long-term developmental activities which will enhance the executive's performance. These activities should meet organizational needs for leadership, managerial improvement, and results. EDPs should be reviewed annually and revised as appropriate by an Executive Resources Board or similar body designated by the agency to oversee executive development.
There may be barriers or perceived barriers to executive development. The 2008 Survey of Senior Executives indicated that many executives felt their training and developmental needs were not being met by their agency. Over one third of the executives surveyed indicated they had never taken advantage of the activities commonly used for developing executives (360 degree assessments, details, mentoring, coaching, residential programs, etc.). How can you overcome these barriers? The article Three Barriers to Owning your Leadership Development presents an interesting way of thinking about these barriers and some possible solutions. Do you have ideas or suggestions?
(What tools are available for Executive Development?)
360 Degree Feedback: 360 degree feedback is a widely used method and tool to assist in identifying strengths and developmental needs. OPM offers 360 degree survey services as do other organizations.
Formal Training: OPM offers formal training at its Management Development Centers and the Federal Executive Institute. There are many other formal training opportunities outside OPM. For more information, visit the Executive Development Community web page.
Mentoring and Coaching: Mentoring and Coaching are very effective tools for personal and leadership development. OPM is currently piloting mentoring program featuring the latest techniques for transfer of knowledge and information such as Speed mentoring, and Reverse mentoring. For more detailed information, please see our Mentoring-and-Coaching wiki page. And please share your comments and practices your agency uses in mentoring.
Mobility Assignments: Current and aspiring executives have the option to participate in mobility assignments (5 U.S.C. 3131). These assignments consist of details, special/short-term assignments, transfers, projects, use of Intergovernmental Personnel Act authority, sabbaticals, formal training, and other creative ways to expose executives to challenges or otherwise expand their capacity to serve.
Sabbaticals: Another means for an SES member to gain a broader knowledge and experience is to participate in a sabbatical. Sabbaticals may be used for teaching; study (independent or structured); research; developmental work experience in the private sector, non-profit organizations, State, local, or foreign governments; and an activity or a project not covered above.
Other tools could include books, book summaries, webinars, and serving on Intra-agency work groups.
What tools have you found useful in your professional development as an executive?
(What are other organizations doing in this area?) Do your agency have any tips or ideas to share?
Check out the Harvard Business Review online. The site features great articles, discussions, webinars for Executives and Managers alike. Subscribe to stay up to date on new and cutting edge trends in growing and developing senior leadership.
National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). The Department of Energy's NNSA has implemented the Executive Career Enrichment Initiative. This program is designed to be a comprehensive leadership program for the NNSA leadership Corps. The program helps to define NNSA's Executive Corps (consisting of members of the SES and Excepted Service), it enriches the careers of NNSA Executives, it develops future Executives, and it enhances NNSA's mission execution and growth. For more details on this exciting program view the attached powerpoint slides.
U.S. Department of Energy developed a Senior Executive Seminars and Courses guide. The guide contains descriptions of over 350 courses, offered by 56 colleges and universities and OPM. Each course is matched to a particular ECQ though some courses may have more than one ECQ. Please note that course descriptions and information on dates, locations, and costs are taken directly from the course catalogs of institutions of where they are offered. Please check the institution's websites prior to registering.
Department of Interior (DOI) developed a Executive Development policy and fillable EDP. DOI's policy provides guidance for continuing professional development of DOI's executives, Senior Leaders and Senior Technical staff. At the beginning of each fiscal year, all DOI executives must develop learning goals and develop their EDP. The policy also includes tips on writing an EDP.
The Department of Health and Human Services began a series of SES Leadership Development Forums to provide meaningful leadership development training to its executives. These trainings, which are held every few months, offer leadership development, functional training and networking opportunities for executives. In addition to leadership and career development, the Forums are a way to involve the SES in the vision and priorities of the Agency and the Administration.
The kick-off was held in September 2010 in Washington, DC with Secretary Sebelius, Deputy Secretary Corr, and senior White House, OMB and OPM officials briefing 220 SES members on Departmental and Administration priorities. Since the kick-off, HHS has held a second all-SES forum at the National Institutes of Health and two mini-Forums on Health Reform and Telework, and plans to continue these programs.
Find Opportunities (What training or other opportunities are available for Executives?)
OPM Executive Leadership and Development Programs: OPM offers a variety of training and development opportunities online and as resident programs. To learn more about these opportunities visit the Leadership and Development site.
Here are some other organizations that help people in their quest to becoming better leaders:
Center for Creative Leadership
Senior Executives Association
Harvard University: The John F. Kennedy School of Government Executive Education
Massachusetts Institute of Technology Sloan Executive Programs
Maxwell School of Syracuse University Executive Education Programs
Graduate School, USDA
Federal Executive Boards (FEBs)
Discover Helpful Tools and Resources (What other tools and resources are available to me?)
The Executive Core Qualifications (ECQs) establish the basic leadership skills needed to succeed in the SES.
The Guide to Senior Executive Service Qualifications describes these leadership skills (competencies) and the behaviors associated with the ECQs.

text: glinum 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2013 Hello! I'm a beginner potter and still learning things. I was inspired by Simon Leach to make a similar . I decided to go for this type of kiln because I thought it's simple to build and chip. I made it in a metal drum instead of Simon's welded wire.The inner volume is about 115L (30gal) . It's covered with the 50mm (2in) ceramic fiber inside. I used a regular burner from a hardware store and 50L propane tank with reducer that people use in households here in Ukraine. Also I inserted there a thermocouple connected to some simple multitester with TEMP. Cones seem to be very hard to find here and expensive ($1 each, 400pieces min lot) So I loaded some ware and started my first firing. In the first hour temp climbed to 230C/446F (valve 50% open). In next 4 hours (valve 100% open) the temperature climbed to 650C/1200F and stopped. I waited for another 1.5 hour ans then gave up and turned it off. I think I need to mention that I fired outside and it was a little windy but that didn't affect the burner. The air temp was about 12C/53F. I put the gas tank in a container with hot water so it was not freezing. The outer surface of a drum was very hot. I could touch it, but not hold my hand there. Can someone suggest why this could possibly happen? Simon says he gets 1000C/1832F in 3 hours. So I must be missing something in my setup. Here's my guesses: 1. The kiln volume is too big for a single burner. 2. The ceramic fiber layer must be thicker. 3. The drum must be placed in some insulation. Maybe put it in a box and cover with sand (leaving the front face open of course)? 4. The gas tank pressure is not enough (thou I don't really think this could be a case). I attach some pics. Another question is if it's ok to refire the same ware again to get to 1000C/1832F? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At University Hospitals, we believe in providing patients with all the information they need to make educated decisions
about their health care and to choose the right doctor to meet their needs. That is why we partner with the independent

University Hospitals is committed to transparency in our interactions with industry partners, such as pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical device companies. At UH, we disclose practitioner and their family members' ownership and intellectual property rights that are or in the process of being commercialized. In addition, we disclose payments to employed practitioners of $5,000 or more from companies with which the practitioners interact as part of their professional activities. These practitioner-industry relationships assist in developing new drugs, devices and therapies and in providing medical education aimed at improving quality of care and enhancing clinical outcomes. At the same time, UH understands that these relationships may create a conflict of interest. In providing this information, UH desires to assist patients in talking with their practitioners about industry relationships and how those relationships may impact their medical care.
UH practitioners seek advance approval for certain new industry relationships. In addition, practitioners report their industry relationships and activities, as well as those of their immediate family members, to the UH Office of Outside Interests annually. We review these reports and implement management plans, as appropriate, to address conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with medical research, clinical care and purchasing decisions.

As of December 31, 2016, Kristy Fanaroff, CNP did not disclose any Outside Relationships with Industry.
