You know Tsukane is Touma only not as preachy. Like Touma he generally doesnt like to fight but will put his life on the line to save someone.
Kurumu is a powerfull Succubus her ability is making her illusions real enough to hurt.

On top of that, Tsukune had already completely transformed into a rage Vampire, and the lock is the only thing that helps him sustain his humanity, so I think there's more to Tsukune's mental stability than the relationship of his human and vampire blood. I would attribute his sudden fits of rage to inconsistencies in the Holy Lock rather than his own blood quantity.
Apart from that, I completely agree with the second subconscious mind within him, though I wouldn't exactly describe it as that, even though it's not exactly a personality. Rather, I think it's another part of Tsukune's own personality locked deep within him, but the nature of the Vampire blood within him makes it far more potent, sometimes overlapping his normal self when he turns into a rage Vamp.

I agree with Ou-Rex. Moka uses melee attacks and she's fine. He just needs to perfect some sort of fighting style. No bells n' whistles needed for him to be badass...

Mizore really is the only one that shows variety in abilities, simply because her powers allow it. She's just awesome like that. Kurumu is just high speed slashing attacks, Moka is martial arts, and Tsukune is following Moka except that he'll be more focus on punches rather than kicks.
Ruby and Yukari have shown some variety too, but they rarely get decent screen time so we don't get to see much.

It is why Mizore and Kurumu work well together in their black and white duet as both their powers, unlike Moka's , are not limited by their bodies. As you have noticed Moka can only use her youki at Close quarters combat, where Kurumu and Mizore are sorely disadvantaged at, but they have long range attributes that Moka has yet to match, even though there is the case where she can anticipate their moves ,but only due to the fact (imo) that she is so close and familiar to them.
Yukari too has an ability to manifest items and is only bound by her childish nature, she has but to mature her concentration to be as strong, if not stronger, but her sensible awareness to certain aspects and genius mind allow her to act more to the party's strategist as she offers detail of their enemies many may not know handing them advantage.
Ruby is much unknown as she did show promise during the Witch's Ranch arc, but since than we havenot seen if she has improved, but she too has her own vital role.
To claim for only Mizore's powers to be affluent for various combat is a bit biased. I love Mizore too but Kurumu has prospects in battle as well, which leads me back to my original statement of the girls standing on equal footing, only stepped by their closeness to one another and their natural fear of a daiyoukai that is Moka.
As you see they always try and confront her but it is impossible to understand what Moka is thinking, as close as they claim, there is still some mystery to Moka that makes her unreadable to the girls so they never know if she has more or less power or is holding back. In short, they are unaware of each other's massive potential, and could very well be stronger than what we have seen.

Obviously there hasn't been anything like that mentioned so far, which makes me believe that the blood that flows in Tsukune's veins stays the same, but when Tsukune isn't actively using his vampire abilities Tsukune's blood acts and behaves similar to the blood that normal humans have, while still giving Tsukune some slight advantage in his physical attributes (higher speed, strength itd..) as well as boost Tsukune's regenerative.power's (Rosario + Vampire Season I, chapter 24 pages 19,20)
It all changes when Tsukune is heavily injured or turns into his vampire form, where Tsukune's blood starts to display it's vampire attributes and starts generating youkai energy for Tsukune to use.
Of course, piratically speaking it's probably more complicated, but I believe that Tsukune's blood is already is quite different then a human's or vampire's blood - to me it's already some sort of mix between the blood of a human and a vampire.
I doubt the balance between Moka's vampire blood and Tsukune's human blood is going to change at this point, no matter how heavily injured Tsukune gets, since it was something that has been established during Tsukune's physical transformation to a Ghoul / Primitive vampire and made Tsukune's blood like it currently is. So unless Moka injects more of her blood inside Tsukune, I think Tsukune's blood is going to stay like it is now, with his blood acting like the blood of a human most of the time (though Tsukune's blood still gives him some slight advantages compared to the blood of a normal human) and his blood starts becoming more vampiric when Tsukune gets heavily injured or brings out the power contained inside his blood on his own.

But what if the reason for his blood tasting no different is because the vampire blood is literally dormant? It could account for him being completely human in his usual state and why it tastes no different to Moka. Much liek a parasite which only acts when its host is in danger what if it is the same for vampire blood as technically it is a parasite that has infected Tsukune and to prevent his body from rejecting it fully it stays in a dormant state.

I could be wrong, but didnt Moka actually comment the taste of his blood had changed a bit at one point?
I'm half of the mind she [O.Moka] still sucks his blood partially because she's addicted and her own personal needs/avoiding anaemia, but also partially because of how she feels about him. (She may not have him per se as yet, but she can at least have [some of] his blood! Seriously, I wouldn't put it past a woman to think that way given some I've known!)

Spoiler for snip:
Moka does what vampires do, convert Youki into combat strength. It's what gives them ridiculous strength and speed. It's true about Kurumu though, I forgot that she is capable of minor black magic.

As I thought, and you verified, Moka actually commented that his blood taste DID change, which throws a bit of a spanner in this line of thoughts, because it means that it's not a case of Tsukune's blood taste remaining the same as Ou-Rex had suggested, and that the basic makeup did infact change with his transition, at least enough for Moka to notice the change in taste.
I don't really see the fuss in what Tsukune is, we know he's in some sort of hybrid state right now, much like a Dampir (half and half), and I'm sure as it becomes important the story will let us know. What his ultimate power level and status will be will ultimately depend on what the mangaka decides he feels like, he may not have actually decided yet!
Strong enough for Moka I'm sure however

yeah, the warriors will win this one. regardless of preseason or not, the warriors play their best against the kings these last few years
I really don't see the Kings living up to the hype that they are back and are championship contenders. Their defense will be so pathetic! If things start off bad I don't think that the players will care much after that. Guys like Shareef, Well and Peja just give up if they don't get their way
You mentioed the D, migya, and that's a big thing! A team like Golden State can pull it off because we got scorers at every position (including bench roles). But out of our starting lineup, you see Baron and Adonal who can defend one on one. Tell me, out of Peja, Bibby, Bonzi, Brad, and Shareef... who, out of those 5, can actually defend?! If you answered nobody, you answered right! I can't wait to watch the online highlights; I'm sure they'll be stellar

I thought the spurs havent won but i could be wrong. I know what you guys mean though I have a friend who happens to be a lakers fan, He thinks warriors will suck this season since they lost one preseason opener game. If this were the playoffs the kings would have game down.
Yeah, migya, it is way too early. And even so, I think going off preseason RESULTS and STATS are useless, anyways. Preseason is more about seeing which lineups gel and which players are ready to breakout than it is about winning. Don't expect the results of these games to mean much during the season. Teams are sparring with each other to test out their moves.

Ruthless: New York Man Kills 17-Month Old Baby By Choking & Punching Him TO Death For Acting Too Much Like A Girl!
"Authorities in Long Island, New York have arrested a man for allegedly punching a toddler in the chest and killing him. According to reports, Pedro Jones punched his girlfriend's son, Roy Jones, in the chest so hard that it caused the 17-month-old toddler to go into cardiac arrest. Although the toddler was not moving, Police state that it was not Jones who called 911, but a third party after noticing that the child was limp. When authorities questioned Jones about what happened, Jones states that he "was trying to make the little boy tough" and that he punched him so that he would "stop acting like a girl." Although the child shares the man's last name, the toddler was not his child. Police state that Jones reportedly said that he "loved the little man" and that "one bad decision is costing him twenty years." Police have charged Jones with first degree manslaughter and child endangerment. Reports also state that prosecutors are seeking to add the charge of a hate crime to the list."

If you'd rather not eat cat food in your retirement, you'd better invest in condos, according to Toronto-based real estate developer Brad J. Lamb.
Lamb, the aggressive founder of Lamb Development Corp., which has developed $1.3 billion in condominiums in Canadian cities and is constructing the Gotham and SoBa condo towers in Ottawa, presented a free workshop on real estate investing to some 340 people at The Westin last Saturday.
Dressed entirely in black, the physically imposing Lamb first led his audience - ranging from 20-somethings to boomers - through a dismal future scenario where inadequately funded public and private pension plans and limp RRSP returns will not meet Canadians' retirement needs (that's when he warned we could wind up "feasting on cat food").
Factoring in inflation, he says that someone retiring 30 years hence will need $2.1 million for a pension of $50,000 a year in today's dollars.
How to build such a staggering nest egg? By buying, renting and re-selling urban condos in a market that, based on the past 30 years of real estate performance in Ottawa, Lamb believes has nowhere to go over the long term but up.
Lamb's strategy requires $20,000 to start. That's your down payment on a small condo that is also your own residence. Using what he called conservative projections of four per cent annual growth in real estate values, he showed how you're soon able to use the equity in your unit to buy a second one. You rent that out for enough to cover its mortgage, condo fees and other costs and eventually sell it for a profit.
You continue buying, renting and re-selling units - all the while upgrading the one you live in - until you have a portfolio of five rental condos. That should take 12 years. Sit on the properties, with your tenants paying off your mortgages, for another 13 years and, a quarter-century after making your initial investment, you have enough assets to retire.
Boomers in the audience looked a little crestfallen when they realized it takes 25 years to get rich.
If they were still interested, however, there were brochures for SoBa and real estate representatives on hand.
Federal finance minister Jim Flaherty, no fan of debt among the citizenry, might bridle at Lamb's mortgage-heavy strategy, but the builder says (with his customary self-assurance), "Debt is how human beings get ahead."
Lamb addressed other issues in his 90-minute presentation including troublesome tenants who he says are few and far between when you're renting out a good-quality condo. However, he warns potential condo landlords that when it comes to late rent payments, "never give a tenant a break. This is a business."
Haide Ramirez and her husband say the seminar solidified their plans to become condo landlords within the next few years. "It's a long-term investment," says Ramirez.
Another attendee, Mehdi Shab-nam, wasn't so convinced. He lives in his own new condo and says his monthly condo fees unexpectedly jumped from $350 to $450 after one year because a consultant hired by the condominium board, of which Shabnam is a member, determined the reserve fund for repairs of common property such as the building exterior was insufficient.
On a rental property, such increases could mean you end up subsidizing your tenant, he says.
Lamb, speaking to the Citizen after the workshop, was convinced he's on the right track. "It annoys me our education system doesn't teach (retirement planning). Also, it doesn't hurt that I own properties, and some people (here) will buy some units."

I did this before, right back at the start of the blog. My collection has expanded quite a bit since then, so it's time for another gallery of Christmas covers!
Starting off right back in 1874 with Chatterbox. That's not actually the fourth issue, the numbers were restarted for every volume. As you can see the cover is not particularly 'festive', but the 1870's were puritannical times and perhaps a bird dying in the cold was supposed to remind readers to be miserable. The cover refers to a long poem taking up the first two inside pages of the issue within.
Chatterbox was one of the first story papers, starting in 1866. I distinguish these from the penny dreadfuls that were most popular from the 1830's to 1890's by the fact that story papers were not horror-focused, and often had more than one story in them (the penny dreadfuls were just a chapter of one long story – of course it was not only 'dreadful' stories that were published in this way, the work of Dickens was originally too!). Of course most, but not all, of the early story papers were Christian focused, or else they had only the loosest credibility by being published by the same people who were churning out the penny dreadfuls!
Chatterbox was a bit different, it had more high-minded, 'straight' adventure stories without ghosts or ghouls. It also had informative articles and shorter stories about naughty children repenting. It was started by a reverend – J. Erskine Clarke, M.A. so in a way anticipated the Boys' Own Paper of 1879 and The Eagle of 1950. This 1874-5 volume is of course loaded down with Jesus, but later volumes became more secular, reflecting the attitudes of their age. The first really old book I bought was the 1908 volume of Chatterbox which is a great deal less pious. Chatterbox actually ran all the way up until 1955, though by the end it was just a series of adventure story annuals, and virtually indistinguishable from any of the other "Grand Book for Boys" publications.
It's 1897 now, and this is the Christmas edition of The Marvel (which began in 1893 as The Halfpenny Marvel and gave us Sexton Blake). Where the older story papers were content to just be an alternative to the penny dreadfuls, Alfred Harmsworth's halfpenny story papers were a clear shot across the bows of these gruesome horror stories. By 1900 the penny dreadfuls were holed below the waterline. Though in the early days of the Harmsworh papers the stories were not all that brilliant, and one wag wrote them off as "Halfpenny dreadfullers".
Another way that Harmsworh's story papers differed from the older story papers was their jingoism. By the 1890's church had been replaced by state in the affections of the people and the empire had become something to be widely celebrated. Harmsworth's papers captured the mood of this age, and how better to show it but than with this cover? Santa does not introduce us to presents, or a dickensian scene, but to a host of British troops on the march, "Jack Tar" to the fore and surrounding Britannia on a white charger. We'll not see the likes of this again until… well until i do a Christmas issue of one of my comics.
Oops, no cover
Into the twentieth century now, with the 1901 Christmas issue of The Boys' Friend – except the cover is missing! The Boys' Friend only had black and white printing most of the time, but relatively frequent "double numbers" (the Christmas and Spring ones being regular fixtures) would have a beautiful colour cover, and double the page count (pst, and also double the price!). Double numbers were also chosen to introduce new serial stories.
The serial was the stock-in-trade of the tabloid-sized Boys' Friend which started as a halfpenny paper in 1895. The serial stories, large size and cheap paper make collecting The Boys' Friend very difficult today, may I add! Each issue also had a long complete story of 10,000 words, though, and many of these are great reads. The large size of the paper and tiny type used allowed for very long stories to be told, and also for large and lavish illustrations. To my mind this is one of the greatest of all British comics!
How, um traffic was a nightmare
Now it's 1913 and time for another lavish Boys' Friend double number. This one with it's wonderful cover intact. The content inside was much the same, a long complete story, ongoing serials, new serials with extra-long opening instalments, and the Editor's page. I ought to say something for the editor's page of the Boys' Friend (and very-similar Boys Herald and Boys' Realm, which started in the 1900's and were cancelled in the 20's), the editor would give well-meaning, and well-researched advice to his readers. He would also give long and friendly replies to readers, try to help them with problems (usually this help involved the purchasing of other Amalgamated press publications or books, ahem) and regularly advise on the dangers of smoking, drinking, gambling, rash emigration to the colonies and going to sea "for an adventure" without thinking it through – all pitfalls that it was all to easy for children to fall into in those days!
Compare this for a second to the letter's pages of the comics i was growing up with in the 90's – that is The Beano, The Dandy, Sonic the Comic and a bit later the Judge Dredd Megazine – in those readers were lucky if the reply to their letter was more than a single line. And that single line usually just contained some terrible pun. The Boys' Friend – Best British comic ever.
Followed closely by this one! The Union Jack started in 1894 as a virtually-identical story paper to The Halfpenny Marvel. In 1904 it became "Sexton Blake's own paper" and that detective featured in every issue from then on. Now 10 years later Europe is in the grip of a huge war that many people predicted would be over by Christmas. It wasn't, as this issue shows! The story revolves around a gentleman falling into disgrace and joining up as an ordinary soldier to seek his own death.
This paper gives the lie to the oft-repeated notion that "popular magazines" during the World War 1 would portray the trenches as a grand life of camping, cricket and then short, easy battles where you would get to "account for" scores of the beastly Hun. This was only the case for the first month or so of the conflict, as it drew on writers became a lot more realistic. The stories in this issue certainly don't make life in the trenches sound desirable – if anything they exaggerate the horrors! One passage talks of soldiers "fighting for hours waist-deep in freezing water", which they couldn't have really done, it's biologically impossible! Unless you want your legs sawn off afterwards. It's not exactly discouraging either though. There was after all the need to actually win the thing, so the story emphasises that whilst you may not like your duty, every patriotic Briton must do his best to discharge it.
For the glory of the School Soviet, comrades!
Now it's 1921, and the Nelson Lee Library. This was an odd one – a size roughly equivalent to the modern(ish) A5 and with quite a high page count, it carried complete stories about Nelson Lee in each issue. Nelson Lee was a detective who first appeared in the 1890's, and was not greatly different to Sexton Blake at the time. However by the 1920's things have rather changed a bit! Nelson Lee is now working as a schoolmaster at St Frank's boarding school. He isn't undercover – everybody knows he is a detective, and his boy assistant, Nipper, is a pupil at the school.
This unique setup allowed for the stories to waver between "Billy Bunter"-esque dorm feeds and practical jokes, to serious stories of solving murders and foiling gangs, with ease. Often these two elements would coexist in the same story, and the various boys of the school (not quite the fantastic characterisations of Charles Hamilton, but very close) would often take a hand in the solving of the mystery. Another remarkable aspect of the Nelson Lee library was that it was one huge serial – for decades the main story (it also carried more conventional serials – often 2 or 3 at a time!), while complete in each issue, followed on from the previous one and anticipated the next. Of course these were split into 'series' too (in the same way as some, but not all, Sexton Blake stories in the Union Jack were in the 20's and 30's) but even then a minor plot element in one series would become a major focus in another.
Oh, yeah, this particular issue is part of one of the more famous series in the Nelson Lee's history – the "Schoolboy Soviet" series, in which a few boys, inspired by the revolution in Russia, turn the school into a communist state! Of course this descends into tyranny and starvation and they eventually welcome their rightful 'rulers', the teachers, back. Unfortunatley I don't own the whole of this series, so i can't read it, yet! Anybody got the issues that came directly after the one that was actually named "The Schoolboy Soviet"?
The flash and old ink is only partly responsible – the cover really is that gloomy!
Now it's 1925 and we're back with the Nelson Lee Library. "Snow on the logo" is a long-standing British Comic tradition but in some of these old publications it looked like the wrong kind of snow – not the soft white stuff you can look out at from your warm room on Christmas day, but the freezing, slippery stuff that your car skids on as you slowly crawl to work on a gloomy November's morning.
The story in this issue is rather more lighthearted (well from the quick flick I had when i took it out to photograph it, anyway). Several of the boys from St Frank's end up at an uninhabited stately home for Christmas, with only one butler and no food! But they suspect the castle is haunted – especially when a huge feast seemingly appears by a miracle on the dining table that was completely bare only half an hour before. I doubt it's worth betting that the 'ghost' turns out to be Nelson Lee playing a Christmas prank and that a jolly holiday of crackling fires and gigantic cakes ends the tale.
Now it's the 1950's and we've never had it so good – Photogravure printing of art and writing that well deserves it, a genius artist firing on all cylinders and a minutely-researched science-fiction tale where British pluck, and not technobabble, reversed polarities and sonic screwdrivers wins the day! This is the first Christmas issue of The Eagle – a title that hardly needs introduction. It was created by a Reverend and intended to kill off the popular horror comics of the time. Sound familiar?
Of course I don't own the actual issue, this is just a reproduced cover in a book about the comic's most famous character – Dan Dare! They really pulled out all the stops on 'decorating' this cover, with holly between the panels!
Ahh the festive tradition of poisonous gas – bring back the dying Robin!
Now it's 1952 and Dan Dare still adorns the cover of The Eagle, which is still at the top of it's game. It hit the ground running and barely faltered for 10 years! This issue isn't quite so christmas-ey, no holly between the panels. Mind you the snow on the logo is now present and correct.

A skull
Alternative Names
Basilar skull fracture; Depressed skull fracture; Linear skull fracture
Skull fractures may occur with
The brain can be affected directly by damage to the nervous system tissue and bleeding. The brain can also be affected indirectly by blood clots that form under the skull and compress the underlying brain tissue (subdural or epidural hematoma).
A simple fracture is a break in the bone without damage to the skin.
A linear skull fracture is a break in a cranial bone resembling a thin line, without splintering, depression, or distortion of bone.
A depressed skull fracture is a break in a cranial bone (or "crushed" portion of skull) with depression of the bone in toward the brain.
A compound fracture involves a break in, or loss of, skin and splintering of the bone.
- Head trauma
- Falls, automobile accidents, physical assault, and sports
- Bleeding from wound, ears, nose, or around eyes
- Bruising behind the ears or under the eyes
- Changes in pupils (sizes unequal, not reactive to light)
- Confusion
- Convulsions
- Difficulties with balance
- Drainage of clear or bloody fluid from ears or nose
- Drowsiness
- Headache
- Loss of consciousness
- Nausea
- Restlessness, irritability
- Slurred speech
- Stiff neck
- Swelling
- Visual disturbances
- Vomiting
In some cases, the only symptom may be a bump on the head. A bump or bruise may take up to 24 hours to develop.
First Aid
If you think someone has a skull fracture:
- Check the airways, breathing, and circulation. If necessary, begin rescue breathing and CPR.
- Avoid moving the person (unless absolutely necessary) until medical help arrives. Have someone to call 911 (or the local emergency number) for medical assistance.
- If the person must be moved, take care to stabilize the head and neck. Place your hands on both sides of the head and under the shoulders. Do not allow the head to bend forward or backward, or to twist or turn.
- Carefully check the site of injury, but do not probe in or around the site with a foreign object. It can be hard to know if the skull is fractured or depressed (dented in) at the site of injury.
- If there is bleeding, apply firm pressure with a clean cloth over a broad area to control blood loss.
- If blood soaks through, do not remove the original cloth. Instead, apply more cloths on top, and continue to apply pressure.
- If the person is vomiting, stabilize the head and neck, and carefully turn the victim to the side to prevent choking on vomit.
- If the person is conscious and experiencing any of the previously listed symptoms, transport to the nearest emergency medical facility (even if the patient does not think medical help is needed).
Do Not
- Do NOT move the person unless absolutely necessary. Head injuries may be associated with spinal injuries.
- Do NOT remove protruding objects.
- Do NOT allow the person to continue with physical activities.
- Do NOT forget to watch the person closely until medical help arrives.
- Do NOT give the person any medicines before talking to a doctor.
- Do NOT leave the person alone, even if there are no obvious problems.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
- There are problems with breathing or circulation.
- Direct pressure does not stop bleeding from the nose, ears, or wound.
- There is drainage of clear fluid from the nose or ears.
- There is facial swelling, bleeding, or bruising.
- There is an object protruding from the skull.
- The person is unconscious, is experiencing convulsions, has multiple injuries, appears to be in any distress, or cannot think clearly.
Although no child is injury-proof, parents can take some
Not all head injuries can be prevented. The following simple steps can help keep you and your child safe:
- Always use safety equipment during activities that could cause a head injury. These include seat belts, bicycle or motorcycle helmets, and hard hats.
- Learn and follow bicycle safety recommendations.
- Do not drink and drive. Do not allow yourself to be driven by someone who may have been drinking alcohol or is otherwise impaired.

"Fingers out, Davey!" I say. My 4-year-old is riding behind me in his car seat, sucking on two fingers, and my usual lecture is about to start. I'll warn him about the germs he's swallowing and the buck-teeth he'll develop. I'll probably even mention the awful night brace Uncle Barr had to wear as a kid because he sucked his thumb.
But first things first: We're at a stoplight, and I have a hangnail that's driving me nuts. As I begin to chew it off, I glance in the rearview to see Davey watching me. Of course he puts his fingers in his mouth! How could he not, when this is my idea of a manicure.
Child see, child do. As any parent knows, our kids instinctively copy us, from the way we walk and talk to the way we scarf down too many potato chips in one sitting. We may worry about those less-than-ideal habits -- but let's pause for a reality check: Nobody's perfect. In fact, it's probably good for kids to see us tumble from our pedestals now and then.
"I want my daughters to learn it's okay to mess up," says Melissa Gillis of New York City, mom of Lily, 3, and Emma, 1. "They should know that I make mistakes, that I admit them and try to do better next time -- and that this is being human." So if your child catches you being, um, human, don't kick yourself. Just resolve to set the best example you can. These parent-tested ideas may help.
Pick your priorities
It can be overwhelming to think about all the wonderful habits you want your child to have, and how best to model them. But you'll inspire plenty of fine behavior if you just choose a few principles close to your heart -- say, generosity, honesty, and kindness -- and let your actions follow naturally, says William Mitchell, a clinical child psychologist in Penfield, New York. The dad of two boys, 11 and 9, he says, "I can demonstrate generosity when I'm driving, for instance, and point out, 'That person really wants to get in my lane; I think I'll let him in.'"
Planting the seeds
Make sure your child is watching
You may devour books the way other people devour brownies, but your kids can't mirror you if you read only when they're asleep. So be obvious about the habits and values you want to pass down. Even better, turn them into a family affair. Bike with your children or bounce alongside them to an exercise video.
Designate a family sketching hour on Sunday afternoons. Hug your spouse in plain view, then do a group embrace for good measure.
Gretchen Distler has her daughters, Alanah, 9, and Iris, 6, help her compost their yard in Blacksburg, Virginia. And Mitchell and Lisa Cronig of Shaker Heights, Ohio, teach their kids, Arielle, 10, and Jeremy, 8, a sense of charity by taking them along to donate clothes and toys, and including them in the Jewish custom of saving money for charities in a tzedakah box they keep in their living room.
Clean up your act...
What if you want your kids to eat healthfully and be polite, but you're hooked on M&Ms and swear like a truck driver? Often, the most reliable way to ditch a bad habit is to replace it with a good one.
Take Carol Laurino of Dedham, Massachusetts. Instead of snacking while she watches TV with Alec, 4, and Connor, 3, she has started lifting weights. (Alec is so inspired that she's had to make "weights" for him from paper towel rolls.) And instead of yelling at road hogs when she's driving, Laurino focuses on her breathing. She's even taught herself some G-rated expletives, which are catching on in her family. Alec -- who used to vent by repeating his parents' old four-letter favorites -- recently tripped in a restaurant and cried, "Fiddlesticks!"
"I am far from slender, and I don't like what I see in the mirror," Distler says. But she doesn't want her daughters ever to obsess about their own weight. So instead of saying, "This outfit makes me look so fat," she's learned to say, "I don't feel comfortable in this."
...And your partner's act
Not long ago, Davey belched at the dinner table. Trying to prompt a polite "excuse me," I asked him, "What does Daddy say when he burps?" Davey's immediate reply: "He says, 'BORK!'"
Uh-oh. If you need to suggest a role-model remodel, many parents I spoke to recommend bringing up a bad habit without the kids around and focusing on the effect it has on the children. Anne Aberbach of Paradise Valley, Arizona, mother of Jordan, 9, and Olivia, 6, says her husband, Steve Lee, is great at using this approach. "Sometimes, without realizing it, I'll say in front of the kids that I did something stupid, or I'll criticize my own appearance. Later, when we're alone, Steve says, 'Where do you think they get it when they talk about themselves negatively?'" says Aberbach. "And he's right. So I try to do better."
Following up with brief coded reminders in front of the kids ("Honey! Etiquette alert!") has helped at my house. My husband's burps are still loud enough to set off car alarms, but he does excuse himself afterward.
Be sneaky about your vices
If there's something that you can't bear to give up, indulge discreetly. Read that trashy magazine when the kids are at Grandma's; listen to Howard Stern on headphones instead of on the stereo. Master the art of secret snacking at home. (But beware: Kids notice a lot more than you think. Once, while Davey was playing in the next room, I wolfed down a giant malt ball, licked the evidence from my teeth, and drank some water for good measure. Minutes later, he said, "Mommy, can I have a mothball, too?")
Take heart and be realistic
Find a surrogate role model
Distler, who's nervous about swimming in the river near her family's home (she's squeamish about the catfish lurking on the bottom, but hasn't let on about her feelings to her daughters), counts on her mom and husband to model what she can't: fearless frolicking in the current. "The girls have always been willing to go in the river because there's somebody they trust who'll do it, too."
See the op in oops...
When you slip up in front of your kids, look on the bright side, says Mitchell: It's a teaching moment. Have they just heard you bickering with your spouse? Then it's important to hear you reach an agreement. Have they seen you standing on a rickety chair to change a lightbulb? Then they need to see you recognize your mistake and find a safe substitute.
And if a child is the one to point out your error? "Sometimes my kids will say, 'Mommy, you said a bad word!'" Aberbach says. "I tell them, 'You're right, and I have to be more careful -- I got very angry and it just came out.'" Such admissions help kids learn honesty, remorse, and a willingness to accept criticism.
...But don't be afraid to be a grown-up
It's healthy for kids to see that you live by some different rules than they do. Explain that "I can have Diet Coke because my body's all grown up, but yours isn't" or "Daddy can stay up late because a thirty-five-year-old needs less sleep than a five-year-old."
"I think it's good that my children have seen adults having a drink at our home," says Judy Wertheimer of Pittsburgh. "I want them to understand that when they're older, there's a place for moderation. I'd worry if they'd never been exposed to alcohol, then went to college and started binge drinking."
On the other hand, Wertheimer feels that smoking in front of kids is never okay, since even moderate tobacco use can be very damaging to health. She has yet to tell sons Joey, 9, and Eli, 8, that she used to smoke. When she does, say experts, she should be honest and regretful -- and emphasize how lucky she is that she didn't end up with a serious illness.
Best policy when confessing a past vice: Consider whether your kids are ready to see shades of gray ("Mommy used to do a bad thing, but that doesn't make her a bad person"). Kids hit this stage at a wide variety of ages; they've probably reached it if they're asking detailed questions about your past habits.
Take heart -- and be a realist
No matter how well you behave, your kids won't always follow your lead. "My napkin goes on my lap at dinner, and I say, 'Please pass the salt,' and I model, model, model -- but sometimes it doesn't stick," Distler says.
Stubbornness may be to blame, therapists say. But often -- especially with younger kids -- it's just pure incomprehension ("Politeness and sharing: why?") or disinterest ("What's in it for me?").
Give a brief explanation, suggests Margaret Lindsey, M.D., a child and adolescent psychiatrist in Rochester, New York. When her 13- and 8-year-old daughters were younger, she'd say, for example: "One way we show we care about people is by demonstrating good manners." She and other parents also find it effective to use incentives ranging from TV time and eating out to ice cream and cash.
But even when he acts stubborn, your child may be learning more than you realize. (Who hasn't seen one preschooler correct another's etiquette at a playdate?) And all this role modeling is good for parents, too. "I'm not as scared of flying as I used to be," says Lisa Gorsch, mom of a 10-year-old and an 8-year-old in Charlottesville, Virginia. "I forced myself to keep a lid on my fear for their benefit." Distler rarely used to exercise. "I decided if I want my kids to have a healthy lifestyle, they have to see it -- so I started exercising, and now I love it."
The day I had my little epiphany about Davey's finger sucking, I promised him I would quit my own hands-in-the-mouth habit, cold turkey. Weeks later, he is proudly, enthusiastically...still sucking his fingers.
But at least my nails look fabulous.

High waters
Water takes out dock at local livery
Sterling — Waters on the Rifle River rose steadily over the weekend.
On Sunday evening the national weather service said that the Rifle River had reached it's flood stage level at six feet, and that it was expected to rise to six point two feet.
Rifle River Campground Manager Laurie Laurie Richardson said that the river was moving so fast that they lost their dock to the current.
"I've been here 45-years and we've never lost a dock," she said until the campgrounds dock floated away late Sunday night. "It rose a good six feet. I've never seen it rise so fast."

But, the client also stated she didn't "like high end or designer things." Wohn-wahn. Not exactly what a Fluffer Extraordinaire like me wants to hear. I mean, don't you hire a decorator to get a look that stands above what the Big Box stores or websites can offer? Not that it need be high end OR designer, but one, especially cool item can often carry a room - elevate it. And, let's face it, such things are often hard to come by in the mass-produced market. I was kinda baffled, and worried I wouldn't be able to knock out something that was true to my creative spirit.
So, I sourced items from vendors the client seemed comfortable with, and did the best I could to add a touch of what I felt was true to my brand's aesthetic (whatever that all means - it sounds good). And then, I submitted it - and mentally walked away. Sometimes we don't get the chance for the grand slam of rooms, and this board won't win any Wearstler-like accolades, but it meets the client's needs, and I guess that's all that matters.

"Clockwork Angel" tops teen favorites
The Young Adult Library Association (YALSA), a branch of the American Library Association, recently polled young readers on their favorite book. Well, maybe not their all-time favorite, since the entries were limited to young adult titles released between January 2010 and April 2010. A team of grad students from Simmons College created a ballot with 26 nominees. Some 10,000 ballots were cast online between Aug. 15 and Sept. 15 in the Teens' Top Ten Project, and the results were released… Read More »

Candy Crush Saga is an Evil Game That Will Steal Your Life
For those of you who are on Facebook and play games, especially Candy Crush Saga, you will totally get a laugh out of this video. It is so completely true and yes, I have to admit I am addicted!
A few months ago I was addicted to farming on Farmville and decorating my pretend homes in Yoville, now it's Candy Crush. I play during the day for a few minutes (or more) of mindless relaxation and at night before going to bed.
The first few levels are pretty easy (that's how they get you hooked) then the levels get more difficult but by then it's too late. You are now invested in this game and you must continue. There is no quitting! You have to have friends help you out to continue on to upper levels and that's where I found I'm not the only one addicted to this game. EVERYONE is playing. Even my friends that swear off gaming are now playing Candy Crush.
I'm currently at level 91 and I've been stuck for almost a week now. There are tricks to the game that they like to throw at you to keep you from moving on though. I thought the jellies and licorice locks were bad until I got to the chocolates. The chocolates are pure evil. You eliminate one group of candies only to be blocked by chocolates and they multiply so fast it's frustrating. But, I refuse to be beaten by the game so I continue to hand over my life.
Just a warning to those who have not tried Candy Crush as of yet, DON'T DO IT...there is no turning back once you've started. The following video will explain a little more the dangers of getting involved in this highly addictive evil game.

Carmi Township Road Commissioner Fred Loyd has reported that many area roads have seen adverse affects from recent weather patterns that have rolled through the area.
Carmi Township Road Commissioner Fred Loyd has reported that many area roads have seen adverse affects from recent weather patterns that have rolled through the area. He reported to the Township board Tuesday, Jan. 14 that he and his crews have been working diligently on them to prevent further damage. As a result, weight limits have been posted on roads in the township.
"It's unbelievable how bad the gravel roads are," said Loyd. "The holes are bad and we have taken five gallon buckets out and tried to fill the holes. The biggest problem is the water. Ice was over the road in Marble Top and the water ripped a section up and flipped it over and carried it away."
Loyd went on to explain they have been attempting to drag the roads but because of the soft conditions, that is preventing them from going over some areas. Although they have "put down a ton of rock" it is still very unstable in places.
"We are finding a ton of washouts," said Loyd. "We have been cleaning out culverts, or it will wash more of the roads out."
A total of 10 loads of sand was also spread on roads prior to the last small snow that came through the area. Loyd said they will have to haul some more sand.
In addition to the road conditions, Loyd said they are having issues with people damaging high water signs, which have been repaired. Also, the oldest dump truck had to have some repairs and is due to have more repairs and will have to be taken to Olney to be fixed.
Loyd said they will get about the same amount of oil and chip down on roads as they did last year, which covered roughly 13 miles of road. He anticipates covering 10-12 miles this year. Town Clerk Jack Martin noted this expense is covered by the Motor Fuel Tax.
In addition, Loyd told the board his department is going to have to acquire a new backhoe. The current one is starting to show its age and is having difficulty completing some of the work for the crew. He said a new backhoe will need to be four wheel drive and asked the board to start thinking about it and planning for the purchase of a new unit.
The question was also asked about leaving trash containers on the roadways, which has caused the Township road department issues during bad weather. Supervisor Jimmie Mallette suggested Loyd get in contact with Sheriff Doug Maier to get the exact ordinance and law on obstructing roadways. Loyd asked that area residents be timely in removing the trash containers from the roadways.
The Township had two grants covered for the month of January for a total of $2,431.74. Mallette also noted a "very generous donation for special needs" from Brookston Resources that was received. This donation will cover those that do not qualify for assistance through the other programs. Loyd also noted that Brookston Resources assists them when needed in the road department and thanked them for their help.
Amy Short was recently sworn in as the Carmi Township Assessor and reported now new assessments for 2014. She did tell the board that the Assessor's Office will begin keeping identification cards on new homes or new construction of homes that will assist the office in the future.
"We have never done this before and it will take time to get everything done, but it will be a big help," said Short. "We will start with new homes or buildings and also anything that has square footage added. When we come in to reassess a property, the information will already be there."
The board, which included all trustees except David Hall and Jeff Bohleber, did not require an executive session. The Township's attorney, Greg Stewart, said that everything is moving forward and no session would be needed.
The Township board will hold its next meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 11 at the Township Hall office, located on Webb Street in Carmi.

DOVER – Top chefs from three restaurants on the Seacoast are up to a winter challenge to make a high-end dinner using ingredients from farm, sea and pantry. Seacoast Local is asking chefs to make it happen to benefit ReRootEd, their food program and to educate other restaurateurs and the public.
The food is ALL local—less than a 50-mile radius. No citrus, no imported sugar, salt or oil. Farmers and producers have everything needed to go gourmet right here. The aforementioned obsessively local concept, along with this roster of chefs… it is inevitable that the guest with fork, knife and food will win.
The series kicks off in Dover on February 1, at the new Stages at One Washington.
At Stages, modern techniques are paired with classic flavors to bring guests a new dining experience each time they dine. Executive Chef and owner, Evan Hennessey, has headed up kitchens in Portsmouth as well as having experiences in some of the top restaurants in the country. Stages is Hennessey's new concept restaurant in Dover, where the themed dinners change every month. For the winter Field & Spoon challenge, Stages chefs will explore the versatility of birds either raised or hunted. The birds will be presented with ingredients that not only accentuate but challenge the complex flavor profiles given during cooking.
Then head to Portsmouth for the second dinner on February 22 at The Kitchen on Islington Street.
The tasting style menu will offer many treats, starting with Archur Farms beef Carpaccio, Katahdin chips, onion jam, and black trumpet dust. Another four courses will bless guests' plates, Bang Island mussel chowder, an heirloom salad, polenta, braised rabbit, and eggnog ice cream. The menu is the inspiration of the two owners and Executive Chefs, Matt Greco and Michael Prete.
Chef Matt Greco has a family seeded passion for cooking emphasized in Italian and Mediterranean cuisine. This led him to a degree at The Institute of Culinary Education, in NY as well as The Cambridge School of Culinary Arts. He worked at Michael Shlow's Boston famed Via Matta among a couple other notable restaurants in Boston's North End. He led a private chef business and then planted roots in Portsmouth and was the chef at Blue Moon Evolution in Exeter before his current position as co-chef/owner of The Kitchen, Sandwich Kings Food Truck and Portsmouth Catering Company.
Chef Michael Prete has over 20 years in the industry and has aided in the opening of many properties that are prospering today from fine-dining to clubs. He studied at The French Culinary Institute, which is now The International Culinary Center in NYC. A four-year stint of private chef-ing, consulting and catering led him to meet up with Matt Greco where the two opened The Kitchen.
The finale!
Executive Chef and Owner, Evan Mallett of Black Trumpet Bistro in Portsmouth will end the winter challenge on March 12. Mallett's menu will feature lots of under-appreciated local seafood, great local brews, and even sea salt made in house from a deep-water haul brought in by a local fishing boat. In fact, that will be the only salt used in the dinner. Depending on the state of snowmelt, locally foraged river greens may also play a role. And an old friend of the Chef will contribute locally milled New Hampshire flour. The courses will be paired with beer from Portsmouth proper and Kittery.
For Mallett, the path into cooking professionally was a sinuous one, wending its way from Washington, D.C. up the coast to Boston and ultimately the ridiculously quaint seaport village of Portsmouth. Having cooked a little in the late Eighties and early Nineties, and after several stops for college education and stints in advertising and food journalism, Evan ate a meal at Lindbergh's Crossing in 1998 and--with help from his fiancée Denise--had an epiphany. The restaurant at 29 Ceres Street, already renowned for its twenty-six year run as the legendary Blue Strawbery, would become the epicenter of the Malletts' world.
Each dinner is priced at $50—well worth it!
Seacoast Local's ReRootEd program hosts Field & Spoon farm dinners at seacoast area farms paired with hot, up-and-coming chefs. ReRootEd also helps host the Local Food Network, conducts regional food system research, and co-hosts Fishtival, and a Matchmaker and Tradeshow event to connect local food businesses.

The 2002 farm bill is drawing criticism from an unexpected source: farmers who understand the farm bill all too well and don't like what they see.
On Sept. 20, Louisiana's senators introduced a bill aimed at helping rice farmers in their state who have been hit with a double-whammy of unusually low prices and some vagaries in the language of the new law.
The bill offered by Sens. John Breaux and Mary Landrieu raised some eyebrows in Washington, coming so soon after the passage of the new farm bill.
From the start, rice producers have been unhappy with the new law's target price of $10.50 per hundredweight (vs. the 1996 bill's $10.65). They — and other producers — are also upset that its counter-cyclical payments will be spread over two crop seasons.
Under the new farm bill, as with the 1996 law, farmers receive loan deficiency payments when world market prices drop below U.S. loan levels. In this case, the world market rice price, which is determined weekly by USDA, has remained flat while domestic prices have declined.
"I don't like to use the word 'panic,' but, when prices began falling, some of our growers kept on selling their rice," said Paul "Jackie" Loewer Jr., chairman of the Louisiana Rice Producers Group. "With the LDP falling, many of them didn't receive enough money to pay off their loans.
"This is what we call the loss of market premium, which the safety net in the old and new farm bill does not address," he said. "So, while we also anticipate a maximum counter-cyclical payment for 2002 crop spread over three payments and two crop years, it still does not make up the difference in loss of premium."
Once the rice began rolling in to local elevators and prices began dropping, Loewer said his cell phone started ringing with calls from Louisiana's congressional delegation, asking what they should do. "We held meetings to develop a case statement to present to them," he said. About half of the audiences came from ag-related industries that feared what the loss of farm income would do to their businesses.
The situation may be different in other states where farmers are more "co-op-oriented" and rarely sell all their rice at one time, says Loewer, "although their situation may be closer to ours when they finish the harvest."
Louisiana farmers supported the farm bill even after a midnight farm bill conference reduced the rice target from $10.65 to $10.50 per hundredweight, he noted. "We knew that if we didn't get a farm bill then, the chances of getting legislation later would be that much worse."
Louisiana farmers are "self-conscious" about asking for more help, "but given the numbers we're looking at, we had to do it." Besides low prices, southwest Louisiana growers historically have had lower yields and lower margins than other areas. With the planting reductions of recent years, the new law forces some growers to accept a lower base if they try to update yields or be stuck with lower program yields.
As more such "Catch-22-like" situations emerge, this could become even more of a winter of discontent for farmers.

Tova #3
I am not sure if I spent more time sewing or unsewing my third Tova top trying to get the fabric to behave and the print to line up, not to mention fretting over all the little details. But it's done and I am very pleased with it.
I took your advise on the whole grain vs. print issue and cut the pattern pieces so that the print best lined up. There are places where it just wouldn't, but I don't think it is too obvious when I am wearing the top. The grain issue shows most in the collar pieces but I wear the collar open anyway and like it best when it's a bit floppy.
I made a few adjustments to the pattern, first I followed Kerry's Tova Sew Along instructions for adjusting the collar width, and lengthening the sleeves. In the end I decided against the longer sleeve length and shortened them again ;) I reduced the length of the top quite a bit and took the side seams in a little for a more fitted look.
I am so pleased I persevered, I learned lots and gained more confidence in my dress making skills. I absolutely love wearing this silky soft voile, it is just so comfortable!

it looks beautiful leila! so so pretty! i will make one for myself before the end of the summer!ReplyDelete
Very nice! The top looks great. I have the pattern, but haven't used it yet. As soon as I have time I will go for it. :)ReplyDelete
beautiful! and glad you stuck it out, it looks great.ReplyDelete
Oh wow Leila its beautiful! I want one... lolReplyDelete
It really is beautiful!! I played with some of that same voile print this past weekend, too. :)ReplyDelete
it looks great~ i love the fabric too.in fact i used the same to make a turban/headband today :)ReplyDelete
Well done! It's beautiful. I think it's fitting very nicely with the sides taken in. That's my issue with designs like this, that the gathered seam falls across the fullest part of the chest and the shirt falls down from there, making bodies look much bigger than they really are (at least in my case with a, ahem, full-ish chest!). Looks like you've solved that perfectly!ReplyDelete
That's beautiful - and such a huge achievement getting that print to all line up. The colour of the top is really pretty too.ReplyDelete
For some reason I see Toga instead of Tova!ReplyDelete
Great looking top. the fabric choice is perfect. Glad to see you kept going and didn't give up on making it! =D
Leila it's gorgeous! The fabric is so perfect and it is such a pretty top!ReplyDelete
Soo pretty, love all the lined up bitsReplyDelete
It looks lovely, I like the shorter cut, too.ReplyDelete
yay for perseverance! it turned out really well in the end.ReplyDelete
Very pretty top and it suits you! I am sure you have learnt lots - it is when things are tricky that we learn the most!ReplyDelete

I was going over Clips from last year and this year!!! and i must say Last Year BR was on the Rise and smashing everything,, But what in the world happend this year!! Only thing they got going good for themselves is BAKER holding the whole city Up and SLV doing a lil Something,, But Damn look like New Orleans Got this Year OFF TOP!! from Walker to McMain to St. Aug they have been holding this whole Fall Season Down Off Top!! In 337 those Clips from in the Stands of SMU was Official! There Smashing too,, they sound a whole Lot Better from Last Year!! Hmmmmmm!!! Whats going on BR yall the Proclaimed Beast of the South!! Where yall at cause it look like yall neighbors from 337 and 504 taking that shit Back!!

Honestly.it aint that big of a difference
Out of all the clips available online you find those to use for comparison???
you must obviously have slept on istrouma, they have improved i must say they have improved
if you are going to do comparison vids
atleast find the same songs each band played....
not a fair argument
according to your vids, it seems that the 504 bands, except aug
has gotten weaker
The New Orleans area has how many showbands?
St Aug,Walker,Karr,Easton,Carver,West Jeff,McMain,Sophie Wright,Cohen,35,John Mac,Clark,St.Mary,Xavier Prep,Landry,Reed,McCoy,Behrman......
And the Baton Rouge Area,
Baker,Istrouma,Southern Lab,Glen Oaks,Mckinley,Tara, Scotlandville, Belaire...And thats it
And i dont count schools like Lutcher,Donaldsonville,East Feliciana,Plaquemine because they not really close to Baton Rouge,Plaquemine might be the closest and its about 20+ miles away
So tell me this..with way more bands in the New Orleans Area shouldnt the ratio be for yall those bands to be constantly better. Mcmain,Walker and St.Aug cant save the city..lets talk about these other bands.
^^^ good point lets talk about these other bands...
Behrman is a middle school---well actually elementary being prek-8 band is (4th-8th)...
I will say that you missed Higgins, Helen cox, the roots of music, among others
In my honest opinion I think that the New Orleans Bands are doing great it has been 7+ years and each school that you have named is steadily improving...
remember the first PreK bands were leftovers and hybrids of many programs and that Baton Rouge Area benefitted from the influx of bandsmen from New Orleans...
what's happening now is the first crop of middle schoolers are entering college most sophomore and freshman years...
high schools have cemented their feeder systems and your are seeing that especially in Walker, Karr, Easton, and Aug...
as far as I can see there hasn't been any N.O. Band that has taken a L to a B.R. band OUTSIDE of the field.
but I will say this
outside of Walker, Karr, Behrman -(all algiers charter schools), McMain and St. Aug, now Cohen
none of the other Bands travel or get exposed as much so there will be little opportunities for comparison...
lets address another issue that people don't really know or want to talk about.
Walker's band is 120+, Karr's Band is 70-80+, Behrman is 80+ and you have 270+ band members in a 4 mile radius.
Cohen is 40+, Sophie B is 70+, Mcmain is 80+ all in a 4 mile radius,
easton , 35, clark, and john Mc are all within 5 miles,
st mary is a private school
st aug is a private school
xavier prep is a private school
if the lines were drawn and our system worked like Br's you'd have superbands in New Orleans.
To me, Baton Rouge has the advantage over New Orleans when you are looking at the overall packages and not just stands.
i have to disagree. I give you field shows and but not the entire package...
I guess it depends on what your definition of the entire package is.
Maybe. but music is arbitrary the concept of best is arbitrary and hence discussions occur...
what's Baton Rouge Best? put them against New Orleans best whoever that is and I can assure that new orleans will give you more of what you want...

I thought I'd pop down a few thoughts on why I've decided to do a blog when I don't really know what I'm doing!
- I've been looking at a few of the other genealogy blogs on the web and found them really interesting. Also, I've picked up a few hints and tips - especially about how to organise your research.
- I've not found many blogs relating to UK and Ireland history so that I'm hoping to find a few along the way.
- A blog seems like a good place to try and organise your thoughts (or "wibbles") on a particular subject and that's what this blog is all about.
- It seems like a good place to share what I've found with other members of my family without having to work out how to set up a whole website. I'm not sure how this will work out but worth a try.
- I might be able to get in touch with other people who can help me with my "brick walls" (currently in Northern Ireland where it's difficult to get too far back but more about that on another day).
So, off to work out what to add next.
If you've got any hints, tips, links, ideas then leave a comment and let me know.
