Grow(ing) up Baby!
The UCLA Library Baby Record Books Collection
February - April 2014
UCLA Powell Library Rotunda
Selections from the UCLA Library's Baby Record Books Collection are on exhibit in the UCLA Powell Library Rotunda through April, 2014.
"Grow(ing) Up!" celebrates the 10th anniversary of the collection's founding.
Baby books contain categorized headings and spaces to guide parents to record memories about developmental milestones and activities in a child's first few years. The memory books provide places to gather photographs, locks of hair, and other mementos.
In March, 2004, local antiquarian bookseller and UCLA alumna Barbara Rootenberg donated a copy of a London physician's brief work from 1885, The Parents' Medical Note-book. She asked us, "What medical information do baby books collect?" A lot, as it turns out, from physical developmental milestones to details about vaccinations, illnesses, and accidents.
No other libraries were collecting the books with vigor, so we bought a few (mostly through eBay, some at swap meets, some from booksellers) and accepted books as donations. A decade later, we haven't stopped, even at 1400 copies spread across more than 750 titles and editions since the 1870s.
Although our collection development strategy focuses on infant development, health, and illness, we are collecting comprehensively—every title and edition we do not have, and multiple copies of some when they are filled-out.
The books and their handwritten and pasted-in contents have been used for research and teaching in pediatrics, printing history, economic and social status, material culture, linguistics, architecture, advertising, folklore, depictions of family, and other topics and disciplines.

Aldous Huxley and the Visionary Experience
26 September 2013 – 1 January 2014 (extended to mid-February 2014)
Throughout his life, Aldous Huxley explored alternative religions, therapies, and disciplines to expand human consciousness and to unite body and spirit. This exhibit draws upon the writings and papers of Aldous and Laura Huxley to examine his search for a universal experience beyond the language of words and the limits of physical being. From his early works to his last, Huxley's writing reflected his willingness to study and embrace the intellectual and spiritual journeys of other cultures with an open mind and to synthesize the truths that he found there. Influenced by writer and essayist Gerald Heard, Huxley and his family (wife Maria and son Matthew) moved to Los Angeles in 1937. The society of writers, educators, and spiritual leaders was stimulating as was the clear, warm climate. He continued to explore the human potential and delved into parapsychology, mysticism, eastern religions, psychotropic drugs and other means of enlightenment.
Aldous Huxley had a long and fruitful relationship with UCLA. He was a frequent user of the UCLA library and pledged his papers to Special Collections, but most were destroyed by the 1961 Hollywood Hills fire before they could come to UCLA. UCLA's Huxley collection was acquired over the years through gifts, purchases, and a major donation of the extant papers in 2009 through the auspices of Huxley's second wife, Laura Archera Huxley, the Huxley Foundation, and funds provided by UCLA graduate Bill Edwards. Huxley's circle and interests, both mystical and scientific, are reflected in this exhibit through the Aldous and Laura Huxley Papers, selected works of Aleister Crowley, Christopher Isherwood, Krishnamurti and others from the library's holdings, and a variety of personal papers, including those of psychoanalyst and LSD researcher Sidney Cohen and writer and philosopher Gerald Heard.

In Athens, a popular far-right party condemns Jews as a source of the country's misfortune and recycles the ancient lie depicting them as "Christ killers." In Hungary, the prime minister fails to disassociate himself convincingly from an anti-Semitic and increasingly powerful fascist group. Scenes from Europe in the 1930s? No. Both examples, sadly, of European politics today.
The Greek organization is Golden Dawn, now the third most popular party in the birthplace of democracy. The Hungarian party is Jobbik, which is rising in influence. Nearly 70 years after the defeat of Hitler, Mussolini, and European fascism in the Second World War, hateful, right-wing ideology has returned in nearly every European country. While none of these parties is strong enough to win power, they are often violent and aggressive. And they are intolerant of immigrants, Jews, and other minority groups that don't fit their twisted definition of what Greeks, Hungarians, and other Europeans should look like.

Have you realized your potential?
How did you do it?
Did you just one day wake up, work hard and suddenly you're at the top? Or are you struggling every day, not realizing it, sitting at a desk, watching these TED video's and praying for a better life.
If I may ask, what are your individual stories behind your passion and potential?
Was it starting a company in you're basement, knowing that you could do something better? Or inside a multi-billion dollar company starting in the mail room, then suddenly working on the thirtieth floor?
People's stories, especially on topics like this, really really interest me. I want to learn from them, so maybe I can realize my potential. Any thoughts?

Second, as I'm an undergraduate student, I can say that I have not realized my potential yet because I'm on the way !
If we generalize it, we can easily see that everyone is on the way which is indicated according to the potential. Thus, I state that if we realize our potential, we can be sure that it is the end.

100 percent ID verifications slowing border
If things seem to be going a little slower at the border, if the line coming into the United States seems longer than you're used to, you could try asking an inspector why. Chances are you'll get a little grumbling about a new national policy directing inspectors to check the identification of every traveler against national security databases.
"It's stupid," said a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) inspector at the Pacific Highway port of entry. "It just slows traffic down when we have to process people we know." Some inspectors said they felt enhanced identification checks should be up to the individual inspector rather than dictated by policy. "We're trained so why don't they leave it to our discretion?" said another truck crossing inspector. "Why waste my time on you when I should be spending it on suspicious travelers?" All inspectors contacted would only discuss the policy they said was put into effect by a recent memo, on condition their names not be published. CBP public information officer Mike Milne said the contents of the memo announcing the policy change, or even its existence, was "internal policy" and would not be made public.
Tom Hardy, CBP director of field operations for 65 ports of entry on the northwest border, told a town hall meeting hosted by Congressman Rick Larsen in Bellingham July 6 "the traveling public has to become a little more mature about what is going on at the border. We are not going to simply query your license plate and let you into our country. We have to have some reasonable validity you are who you are." He added if people crossing the border knew to have photo identification and proof of citizenship ready to hand the inspector it would significantly speed up inspection times.
Milne said that "enhanced identification checking" was part of his department's efforts to continually upgrade security at land borders. "We're doing more of what we've always done, trying to utilize all our capabilities," he said. "We feel the identification of individuals in a vehicle is the best possible way to identify potential terrorists."
Hardy said the new policy directed CBP officers managers to take advantage of all resources available. "If you've got a system, use it," he said.
also said there was not a policy to check every traveler
all the time. "We pulse it, we vary it," he
said. "They're doing it when we think
necessary and they can do it without impacting the
Gordon Rogers with the Whatcom County Council of Governments is not so sure that it's working that way. Returning from an event at the United States Consulate in Vancouver last week Rogers said he was struck first by extra lanes open on the east side of the Peace Arch port of entry, but then by a marked increase in the time it took inspectors to process each vehicle, entering data into computer terminals.
Milne said the enhanced inspection increased the average time to inspect one vehicle and its occupants by 50 to 70 percent. "We average about one minute per vehicle on primary," he said. "When we do additional identification checks, it adds 30 to 40 seconds."
Rogers wondered how the enhanced identification checks and resulting increased delay fit into the framework established under the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) of North America, signed by President George W. Bush, Mexican President Vicente Fox and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin March 23, 2005. The accord is a commitment to "make our open societies safer and more secure, our businesses more competitive, and our economies more resilient," which Rogers said depends on border practices which do not "unduly impede legitimate travel and trade."
Hardy said "every time any of my bosses talk security, they talk facilitation." The SPP was one of a number of initiatives his department would be implementing. "We're looking at wait times and how to do things faster," he said. He indicated the memo his department was not releasing listed December 2005 as a target date to install passport document readers in primary booths which could speed up identification checks in the inspection lane.
Larsen said the next few years would see continual change at the border: The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative requires all travelers to have passports by 2008; the US-VISIT program now being implemented will require entry and exit records of all visitors; in 2010 the Olympics coming to Vancouver will bring hundreds of thousands of visitors to the area and significant highway and border infrastructure projects are scheduled between now and then.

Wine tasting with the cast!
Last Tuesday, November 6, members of our Giovanni cast, along with a few members of the staff, went on an excursion down to wine country, to visit a few wineries who are a part of the Portland Opera family. We started at Remy Wines down in McMinnville, where we sampled 4 wines, took a short tour, and got to drink day-old fresh-pressed wine (before it goes through its two-year aging process). Remy is this year's wine sponsor for our Resident Artist recitals!
(Dan brought Voodoo Donuts!)
I couldn't resist buying a bottle of her Beneficio. Excellent small-batch winery! Then we headed to Argyle, our long-time sparkling wine sponsor, where we got to hang out in our own tasting room and drink from our own tasting menu!
We had a few bubblies and a few non-bubblies, and took a few great group shots.

Falcons DE John Abrham vs. Chargers LT Mike Harris: Abraham has 113 sacks, most amongst active players. He should have a favorable matchup against Harris, an undrafted rookie free agent with two career NFL starts. Harris (6-foot-5, 318) played at UCLA. The left tackle spot has been an issue for the Chargers since Marcus McNeill suffered a season-ending neck injury in a home loss to the Raiders last season. Abraham posted a sack/strip against the Chiefs. He moved into sole possession of second place on the team's sack list with 59.5. Abraham played 71 percent of the snaps (49 of 69) against the Chiefs and 78 percent (57 of73) against the Broncos.
Falcons RB Michael Turner vs. Chargers LB Takeo Spikes: Turner is off to a slow start this season. He has rushed 28 times for 74 yards (2.6 yards per carry) and one touchdown. He will attempt to have a big game against his former team and rebound from his DUI arrest. Spikes, who was voted a team captain, leads a unit that has shut down Oakland's Darren McFadden and Tennessee's Chris Johnson. The Chargers have yielded only 83 yards in two games. Spikes will make his 203rd NFL start.
Falcons MLB Akeem Dent vs. Chargers RB Ryan Mathews: Dent has played only 12 snaps this season as the Falcons have leaned heavily on their nickel defense that uses five defensive backs and two linebackers. Dent will see a lot of action against the Chargers' rushing attack because the Falcons are set to use their base defense more often. Mathews, who is returning from a broken clavicle, was cleared for contact last week, but didn't play in the 38-10 rout of Tennessee. Mathews played for Falcons offensive line coach Pat Hill at Fresno State. He has averaged 4.7 yards per carry in two seasons in the NFL. He rushed for 1,091 yards and six touchdowns in 14 games last season.
Falcons FS Thomas DeCoud vs. Chargers QB Philip Rivers: The Falcons face another elite quarterback in Rivers, who's completed 48 of 65 passes for 515 yards (73.8 percent) for four touchdowns and one interception. He has a passer rating of 110.7. DeCoud will have some deep coverage and some ballhawking duties as they try to successfully disguise their coverages for a second consecutive game. "He's just a very savvy quarterback," DeCoud said. "He knows his system inside and out. He's been with Norv [Turner] for five or six years. It's just second nature to him now. You can see it in the way he delivers the ball and in the chemistry that has with his receivers."

As I siad earlier the Flacons only win if the refs make the same misteaks as last week. They got lucky.

Can you do me a favor and ask Smitty if he will EVER let us wear the black alternates of our current home jersey again? Not talking about the 1980s throwback, but the black version of the current jerseys. Growing up a Falcons fan when they wore the black tops with Anderson and Chandler and Mathis and Tuggle, I'd like to see the black tops a couple times a season.
September 21st, 2012

Shoot, I'd even like to see us black it out when we play the Saints in the dome this year, black tops with the black pants and socks. Intimidation factor!

You mean, all black uniforms….Like the Saints?

Fairly certain the Saints don't have black helmets, and I'm even more certain they wont be wearing black jerseys in Atlanta. Not to mention, they don't have a patent on all things black.

And even if we don't go all black uni's, I'd still at least like to see the black jerseys once or twice a year.

So Fish House – we got lucky? Those 3 INTs didn't have anything to do with it? How about keeping the great Peyton Manning off his game for 3 quarters? BTW – get spell check.
September 21st, 2012
2:13 pm
Yeah we have so many alternate looks to the uniform that would appease both sides (you know what im talking about so don't act). The white on black road uni, the red on black home uni, the black on white home would all be a good switch every now and then. And you still have the two traditional with the throwback with the red helmet.

I dont know that the red top on black pants would look great, thatd look more like an AFL of CFL uniform I think. But it might work, who knows?

This game with speak volumes concerning the maturity, composure, & killer instinct of this team. If we can rebound from an emotional win like last week, on a short week, one in which we travel all the way across country to beat one of the other 5 remaining teams in the NFL, then we've grown a lot as a franchise & are really sending a message to the rest of the league & to the fans that this year's team, under improved coaching is a different Falcons team, a team that's earning the trust of all despite not yet having a playoff win under this regime. I believe that we're a better team than the Chargers & that we should win, I just wanna see us execute & make it happen, I'll be really impressed!

The Chargers have not been fast starters under Turner. They mix wins and losses randomly in the early part of the year. So that's in our favor.

I hate when people blame a win or loss on bad calls or injuries. Every team deals with injuries and bad calls. As for mondays game I thought it all came out even in terms of calls. The falcons were the better team-nuff said

Philip Rivers is not an elite quarterback, he hasn't won anything. Is he a good Quarterback yes? Being said that the Falcons should be Alright and come away with a victory.

Neither Rivers nor Ryan have won anything, but I would take either of them over the supposedly "elite" Eli Manning or Ben Roethlisberger. Rings or lack thereof are a
reflection of the team as a whole, not the individual merit of the Quarterback.

Topic - Peak District Conditions
razzorbuzz - on 27 Mar 2013
Hi Guys,
Just wondering if someone on the ground can give me a heads up as to what its currently like up there. We booked a cottage a while back with the intention of knocking out a few routes at The Roaches over the Easter weekend, we are leaving London on Thur night. Looking at MWIS and a few local web cams it seems the weather has hit hard.
I'm gona sling a pair of crampons & axes in the car anyway however does anyone have any info on the following
-What are the road conditions like, I saw that Snake Road has been closed is this still the case and are there others I should be aware of.
-What is the likely hood that anything (winter) might be in condition or will it be best to stick to the (very cold) grit. I've never been to the Peaks in Winter only Wales & further north so not sure what if anything might be around.
-Anything else you can think of that might be of use
Thanks so much :)

Before I say even one word about this week's episode of I Dream of NeNe, I must proclaim my love for Gregg Leakes. Not in a cancel-the-wedding way. In an Andy-Cohen-Give-Gregg-a-Show way. Come ON. The guy is opening his own luxury barbershop! But we have no time to talk about it or the fancy cushions he is designing for it now -- we've got a wedding to plan!
Just three weeks out from the big day and NeNe is almost cracking under the pressure. Her new wedding planner -- while awesome -- isn't magical, so she's got some compromises to make. Add to that a steaming hot pile of bridesmaids tomfoolery and any woman would lose her mind. Did I mention she's waiting to hear if her TV show is coming back for a second season? Somebody rub my shoulders, I can't take the tension -- also, I find shoulder rubs and reality television programming to be the best aphrodisiac there is. Toss the promise of pizza and my ratty slippers into the mix, and seduction is guaranteed.
But enough vis a vis the particulars of my fantasy life! NeNe has just learned that her garden wedding is off the table. There's just no time. It's for the best, since, as Gregg points out, her design would make the garden look like a "tent city." Lol, Gregg. I could watch you talk to dogs and avoid pre-nups for years. High-fives.
Taking a deep breath and putting all her trust into her planner, NeNe goes to hang out with her bridesmaids as they are fitted for their dresses. Their attitudes (I'm looking at you, Diana Gowins) are so bad that she punishes them by forcing them to get cosmetic surgery. As Diana and Pat Sumpter-Davis discuss the supposed interlopers of the circle with numbing cream on their faces, my brother, who was watching with me, shook his head in quiet awe. "This is, like, the definition of reality TV." He was not wrong. While this happened, Gregg hemmed and hawed about the pre-nup some more. Nothing new here except his dashing choice of pocket square. Also he loved registering for gifts at Crate & Barrel more than maybe any person has ever loved a thing -- discounting my passion for pizza.
Sadly, after much anxiety, NeNe got the call this week that her show The New Normal was cancelled. This storyline made me feel the grave weight every psychic must carry. I knew the show was doomed and could do nothing to assuage her fears. Also, I have a goat I keep beside me who acts as a medium. Moving on. Diana didn't take the surgical face-poking as evidence of NeNe's ire and she's still pitching hissies. My money is NeNe ditching her when the girls are in Cancun next week. At least, I hope she does.
Do you think NeNe should fire Diana from the wedding party?
Images via Bravotv.com; RealityTVGIFs
NeNe should double check who are her "friends". I get it that Diana is over protective of her friend but she has taken it way too far than friendship. It seems as if Dianna want to marry NeNe and not Greg. I just got married myself this year and I had a member of my bridal party the exact same way and our friendship has now ended. Lesson learned! Nene - remember, GREG and your family comes first but Diana is going to have to except that. If not, then do a KIM. Keep It Moving!
my lord people.... nene and gregg was all ready married once, what is the big deal on the second time around.???? i dont watch this stupid crap.!

What is O'Connor House?
Watch The Video HERE
In the 25 years that John and I lived in our adobe house, we hosted many events – for friends, colleagues, foreign visitors, legislators , members of Congress, and other distinguished individuals. We brought people together from both sides of the aisle (R-D) and from other perspectives to share a home-cooked meal and good conversation, which resulted in a better chance of reaching consensus.
We all know that it's easier to reach agreement with friends—and we make friends through social contacts and shared experiences. When you become better acquainted and enjoy each other's company, you're less apt to be partisan and at odds when you are back at work [in Washington, in the state legislature, in town council meeting or in other venues where people come together to participate in democracy].
I know that it is possible for people to sit down together and engage in cooperative problem solving.
This is what I want O'Connor House to stand for. We can do it.
The possibilities are endless."

One man is dead after officials say he fell off of a truck bed.
This morning Georgia Power crews here in south Georgia are packing up and getting ready to hit the road as ice and snow bears down on the northern part of the state.
It was just two weeks ago when metro Atlanta was crippled by a wintry blast. But officials are making sure history doesn't repeat itself. Governor Nathan Deal says they will be a lot more prepared.
And that starts with asking truckers to avoid the Atlanta area if possible also making sure northern cities have the additional resources needed that includes a higher volume of power crews. Jay Smith, Albany area manager of Georgia power says they typically send a couple dozen people to help with workloads but today he's sending even more.
They anticipate the possibility of power lines being brought down from heavy tree limbs and broken poles. Georgia Power is also requesting assistance from their sister companies located in Alabama and Mississippi to stand-by just in case the situation takes a turn for the worst, Smith says its better to be prepared. Their focus is to make sure their crews are ready so they can jump into action when the time comes.

The Duggars Make Me Sick
The Duggars have 18 kids, which is crazy in and of itself. But teaching your kids to abstain from all sexual relations before marriage... these people are nuts!
Guest blogger Samantha: Every time I see something about the Duggars on TV, I get really annoyed. I'm annoyed that they have so many kids, I'm annoyed that all their names start with "J" and I'm annoyed that everything, EVERYTHING, they do and say in life is about their belief in God. Look, I'm all for faith. I'm all for religion. But I lose my patience when it comes to fanatics whose convictions are SO over the top that their very own children (in my opinion) end up brainwashed and robotic.
Meet Joshua Duggar and his new bride Anna.
Last night, as I watched "A Very Duggar Wedding," a reality special on TLC documenting their "union," I wanted to barf. You see, Joshua, 21, and his bride-to-be Anna, have never kissed (yes, that's KISSED!). Both are evangelical Christians and decided that they wanted to enter marriage "pure." Up until their wedding day, the most action that these two CHILDREN had ever gotten was hand-holding (ooh, naughty, naughty!) And now, their very first kiss is supposed to be in front of 300 guests?! Are you kidding me?
Before I even start in on how ridiculous I think this "purity" nonsense is, let me take a moment to talk about their wedding itself: 1) Too much tulle. 2) Someone needs to let the people of Florida know that the crimped long-hair look was out in the '80s 3) It was a dry wedding. (Um, isn't that mean to make them have sex for the first time without any alcohol???) I nearly died when they said "I do," and went for their first kiss as husband and wife. "Don't turn around!," my husband joked as we laughed about what a massive boner Joshua probably had. Then, as the camera zoomed in on Anna wiping her lips and smiling nervously as her virgin tongue went back into her mouth, I literally got queasy. How ridiculous, I thought. How ridiculous to think that not only will these kids never know what it's like to have had sex with anyone else other than each other, but that they will never know what really feels good and really feels right.
If you don't kiss a lot of frogs, how can you know if you even like kissing your prince?! The beauty of experiencing intimacy before marriage is that you CAN determine what you like and don't like -- so that you're not stuck with someone who you come to discover you have ZERO sexual attraction or connection to! As I watched the Duggars walk into their sad little hotel room (hi, TLC, ya coulda sprung for the "honeymoon suite," no?), I couldn't help but wonder if poor Anna, who will not be enjoying sex for quite some time (uh, remember when you lost your virginity), will one day wake up and wish that she had been felt up by someone other than her husband. Second base, people! We're talking about second base! Her boobies have NEVER even been touched by someone else. PATHETIC.
On Joshua and Anna's website, Anna says: "Like Joshua, I was raised in a Christian home, and my parents encouraged me to save my whole heart and purity for the one that God had for me. As a young girl, my parents told me that it was normal to have desires and thoughts, but that it was my responsibility to commit my future to the Lord and trust God to lead me in His timing." Trust God to lead you? Does God know what turns you on? Grow up! You're not proving anything to anyone and I don't believe for one instance that God is going to reward you any differently then the rest of us. You can still be pure, good, and committed to your husband even if you've had multiple partners.
In my opinion, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are to blame for this craziness. If I had to share well-deserved attention with 17 other siblings, I might pull a lame stunt like this at my wedding, too. Fortunately for me (and my two sisters), my kiss was short and sweet and my wedding night wasn't as painful as Anna's probably was (unless you count the terrible blister I got from my heels). So, to Joshua and Anna: I truly do hope you had fun on your wedding night and in 50 years are still as hot for each other as you were that night at bible camp. And if there's one thing you don't do like your parents, let's hope it's the baby-making part. For God's sake, Duggars, heed your own advice and ABSTAIN.
Whilst it was a rather strongly worded post, I have to agree. Most moderate societies do not see any harm coming from kissing before mariage. And as to the fact it keeps a person pure, does this mean that they have to only be pure in a physical sense. What about the mind, is there some way that they can "cleanse" that to make it pure, or has someone found a way of stopping the progression of mother nature in a teenager.
I dont want to offend people with my view, but it is my view that i am entitled to. I am also brave enough to not make my post anonymous and venymous. Please think about your replies and have the conviction to be associated with your words and beliefs.
I agree the no kissing is completely crazy!! I can understand saving your virginity till marriage, although I can also understand trying out the merchandise first! I can't imagine not knowing my husbands desires and turn ons before we got married. Need to know compatibility people!! What really drives me crazy… they have 18 kids but they rely on the older children to help raise them. I mean when the older girls went to Florida with their brother everyone was talking about how hard of a time the parents were having without the older girls! RIDICULOUS!!! If you can't raise and take care of them..DON"T HAVE EM!! Being second mother should not be a chore for a teenager!!
All i can say is if it upsets you that much you probably shouldn't be watching it. That is the beauty of TV.
What is wrong with you people, that is such a wonderful thing that they waited to share with each other, and if you notice, all the friends and their parents aren't devoiced. Maybe having Christian values and principals is what more people need out there and that would keep more families together. They are showing such a great example to so many younger teens and younger adults to wait. If so many other parents raised their kids like that, then teen pregnancy would be down, we would not be fighting over having abortions or not to. But for so many of you to talk down on them for such a wonderful thing for them to wait and share with each other just goes to show how many Christians lack in this world and I just pray that you might realize what a great family they are when your kids get older and are thinking about sex at 16.
I somewhat agree it is going to be hard on these newlyweds, but we all have had our first experience with someone with thought we loved,(if you are the type to have premarital sex), and I am one of those types, but to share it with someone you know you love should and would be very exciting. The only thing I thought was a little strange was kissing isnt love making it is a sign of intimacy so having no sex doesnt seem weird to ME but no being able to kiss certainly does but that was their choice and I hope the best for them because I would never wish bad for anyone and they are just a young couple with parents that are very involved and there are much too many kids without parents or single parents, so props to them all, and god bless.
I didn't watch the special and I was never a regular viewer of the show. However I am aware of this family and I'd like to add my $.02 …
I didn't wait until marriage to have sex, but right after, I wish I had. I have explored more and experimented more with my husband than any previous lover.
The waiting to even kiss I do find odd, but if they are ok with it, then ok…
They are a 'rare' breed of Christian that believes in a 'quiver full'. Meaning as many children as God wants to send them, they will accept. I wished I could have had more children, so in a way I am envious…however, I do not think it's fair that the young Duggar women are being trained to only be wives and mothers. Although that is what I have chosen for my life, I did have options and it appears these girls have no options.
I am raising my sons to be gentlemen and am encouraging them to wait until they are married. Realistically they may not, but if they even put it off a few more years I'd be happy. Who needs to deal with sex and all it's issues during the tough years of highschool?
I am a bit surprised at the anger expressed in some of the posts. Although I totally agree that you have the right to post what you think and feel, I do wonder why you are soooo upset over it all.
I don't agree with allowing cameras in your life all the time (I think the original special and a few followups would have been enough), I do admire that they live debt free, no welfare and all their kids do seem to love and respect each other and adults.
You maam have no idea what your talking about. It's your decision whether you want to follow God or not, but he hates luke-warm believers. You make me sick, and people like you.
Ithink the dugger is doing a great job with their children I am the older of eight.And for having their children wait until marry is wonderful. More parent should teach their children to be abstain from all sexual relations before marriage is wonderful .we have enough un wed mothers is the world.If any body is crazy! I think you are !! Dugger family keep up the good work!!!Josh and Anne good on your new life to together
first of all I want to say is MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!! Your thoughts are yours and honestly I am sure I am speaking for a lot keeping yours is what we would like to hear. Then I would like to say if we had more people who practices this way of life.. we would most probably have less unwanted unplanned babies, less diseases and less divorces. If you don't know what you have not had how do you know you would like it? Sounds like you did your share of sleeping around.. and all I can say is GOD HELP YA!! I am a born again Christian, and practice a few of the similar beliefs. I have taught me children the same.. but because we have people like you with no values and no respect for their own bodies.. our children are taught differently in this crude free giving sexual world. Maybe if people read what God wanted we would have a much less hectic world. If these kids appear to be happy.. who are you or anything else to judge. The only thing I would have to say if I praise them for keeping their house in order with 18 kids.. I couldn't do it. But with self respect and self discipline.. we can do all things through Christ.
You totally cracked me up this morning! Thanks for posting your "fire"! I know nothing about these people other than I saw them in an interview on tv and thought, "wow, how are they supporting all of those children, financially and emotionally." My 3 kids wear me out! I can't imagine 18!!! UGH!!!
OH get over yourself samantha. Most people would die just to have a son or daughter like samantha or josh. One that stays on the straight and narrow and dosent get into trouble. That does their schoolwork and believes in our Lord. HONESTLY, SHAME ON YOU! People like you are just a bunch of hypocrites. Cause I know damn well that if you had a daughter or son you'd wanted them the be a virgin till marriage and walk the good road and not have sex and babies at 16!
First, if they annoy you so much, then change the freakin' channel. Why did you watch if you knew you would get irritated?
Second, some peope believe in holding up different kinds of morals. If that bothers you, then stay inside for the rest of your life and cut yourself off from the rest of the world because you will never be happy with the way everyone lives their lives.
My husband and I have never had sex with anyone but each other. We did have other boyfriends and girlfriends when we were in high school that we had kissed-but never anything much more than that. I wasn't raised in a Christian house, but for myself I didn't want to have sex with anyone who wasn't going to be my husband. And I am glad it was like that. I feel like we have a special bond that some of our friends (who didn't wait) don't have.
All in all, I just say if you don't like them, don't make it a point to watch then, then complain about it.
Mrs. Duggar sounds like a a programmed robot when she talks. What's up with the 80's hair dos on the Mom and girls?
I think the Duggars are different in the eyes of society today. JimBob amd Michelle are a sweet couple and managed to raise all those kids in a wholesome enviroment and look at the results? I have been married to the same man for 38 years. He is the only one I have ever been with and I wouldnt have it any other way.Hes my best friend. That in its self shocks alot of people.Oh and out of all those kids heres something else….They all have the same dad.If they can take care of all those kids I think it will be interesting to see how many more she has.
The Duggars are the most irresponsible couple there is. With an overcrowded planet, food & water shortage around the corner.I can't believe they were rewarded with a show for having 18 children, it's disgusting. How can you give quality time to even one of these children? The older children get to experience being a parent for years as there is no time for the mother to do everything thing. I was a PK and waited until marriage, but I dated alot, kissed everyone I dated and then some. I am glad I dated for several years. The women in the church I grew up in that didn't date before marriage were very unhappy in their marriage. They felt they had missed out on so much. It was sad. I married too young probably because I wanted to wait, divorced,have been remarried happily for 25 years.
I think it's sweet. Although the part on "authority" hit a nerve. To each their own. Besides, that family of 18 children are living greener than a family of 4. They make their own laundry soap, recycle, buy used clothing and shoes, etc. I don't agree with everything the Duggar's do or say, but they are sweet and wholesome family anyway. I could only wish I had parents who sat me down to "speak" with me about life and relationships and nudged me in all the right directions.
This is the kind of close-minded hateful talk that has prevented me from coming to this site, but I could not let this one go when I got the email. After I read what Samantha wrote it was worse than I thought. I don't know who the religious person was that must have hurt her very deeply, but I think it is time for her to let it go.
I will be teaching all of my children (only 3) that it is best to wait until marriage for sex. I was raised that way, but neither my husband and I waited and we regret that we had other partners before we got together.
Joshua and Anna have a lifetime to expiriment and discover what they like. They don't have to worry that the other may think that someone else used to do that move better, and they will enjoy all of their firsts together. It is very closed minded that you think they will not be happy.
This is why I am done with momlogic. There is only hate here for people with any values at all. I would think that moms would want their children to have lower chances for getting an STD or being labled easy. Goodbye
That lifestyle certainly isn't for me. If the Duggars are happy and not preaching their values on others, who cares! The show is entertaining and hard to believe. Also how do Jim Bob and Michelle have time for sex?!? Plus hopefully the "j" children can make up their own minds as they leave the nest as to how to live their own lifes.
The duggar children namely Joshua chose to follow their parents belief system and accept it. Children of Christians make different choices all of the time. Josh & Anna made the choice that's right for them. and What do you mean, boobies never touched by someone else. We are supposed to let our daughters be used by horn dog young boys who are going to talk about them after all of the kisses and fills. You are the crazy one. The duggars are doing what they choose, This is America Samantha "One nation under God" Helloooo. You do what you think is best whith your children.Keep your stones in your yard.
I think that the woman who wrote this sounds like she has had a LOT of sex with a LOT of people. It takes real courage to stay a virgin, anybody can have sex. And starting with a kiss can make it harder not to lead to other things, and yes their way of living completely blows mankind's natural way of sleeziness and lack of self-control out of the water, but I think that it is amazing for them. My husband and I have only been with each other. I got pregnant when I was 16, we got married and had a baby, and we were both virgins when we had each other. We are both in love and he takes care of us in every way. I am glad that he was the only person that I was ever with. Neither of us accidentally had STD's that we passed along to each other, we learned together, and I can guarentee that our sex life is effing amazing. You do not have to be a sleezball and passed around to learn things and experiment. Plus, jealousy is not a factor for either of us, knowing that we have been each other's one and only. So I guess what I am trying to say, darling, is that these two "kid's" marriage will probably outlast yours and most other people's, and they have more self-control in their lives than most people twice their age. They are focusing on the number one most important things in their marriage, each other, and not SEX.

June 22, 2011, 12:08 PM — When you get a new desktop, notebook computer, or even a printer or other peripheral, the front or top often sports a few stick-on logos touting the technology inside, like "Windows 7 Certified," "Intel Inside," Bluetooth, WiFI, etc.
But if you've ever looked at the bottom of your notebook or the back of your desktop PC (and/or on the packaging and in the documentation), especially one made within the last few years, you see a different checkerboard of little icons -- a.k.a. "marks," like UL, CE, FCC, TUV, RoHS, ENERGY STAR, and more.
Many companies also post product certification marks on their website. Panasonic, for example, includes certification information for its Toughbook rugged portable computers (select any of the "Solutions by Industry" entries, e.g., "Field Service," and you'll see a "Certifications" entry).
Even the humble AC power supply and humbler power cord sport at least one or two such marks. (The one for the Lenovo IdeaPad U260, for example, has so many it fills an entire side, like the tats on Ray Bradbury's Illustrated Man.)
And while product safety certifications apply to hardware, even software developers need to be aware of them. Hardware design can impact functions like wireless connectivity and sensitivity; software design can impact power, heat and cooling activity, etc. -- or call for more hardware oomph than is legal.
Here's an introduction and overview to get you started understanding product certifications, their importance, and how they relate to product design and development cycle planners (along with resellers and buyers).

Kelly won his 1st Pro event right here over 2 decades ago...not even he could have imagined his career.
Image Credit: © ASP/ Rowland
11X ASP World Champion Kelly Slater of Florida, USA (pictured) captured his fiftieth career victory winning the Hurley Pro Trestles defeating Joel Parkinson (AUS) in the final on Thursday September 20, 2012.
Slater was quick to put scores on the scoreboard taking an early lead with a 7.83 and capitalizing on his lead by sealing victory off an 8.67 (both out of 10.00). Slater's victory today earned him US$100 000.
Slater's now #3 behind Joel and Mick; the race is now much more interesting with 4 more events to go.
Kelly Slater Claims 50th ASP WCT Win at Hurley Pro at Trestles
Surf News, 20 September, 2012 : Kelly Slater (USA), 40, reigning 11-time ASP World Champion has claimed the Hurley Pro at Trestles over Joel Parkinson (AUS), 31, in clean three-to-five foot (1 – 1.5 metre) waves at Lower Trestles, marking the iconic Floridian's 50th elite ASP World Championship Tour (WCT) win of his career.
Event No. 6 of 10 on the 2012 ASP World Championship Tour, the Hurley Pro at Trestles culminated in dramatic fashion today with the world's best going head-to-head in pristine Southern California conditions.
Kelly Slater got off to a quick start in the Final bout against Parkinson, electing smaller inside waves, surfing them impeccably and moving from strength-to-strength throughout the heat. Surfing on a four-fin "Quad" surfboard, Slater's juggernaut momentum and searing performance would prove too much for the in-form Parkinson as he confidently took his sixth event title at Lower Trestles, his third consecutive.
"I know I went out there feeling like I didn't have anything to lose because Parko (Joel Parkinson) was the form guy," Slater said. "He was pretty much the standout in every round. He schooled Medina (Gabriel Medina) yesterday somehow and was combo'ing everybody. I just figured I had to get myself on the best waves and let go a little bit, but it got really quiet out there. It was the first time something really felt like it went my way when they (the judges) took my priority away. By the time they announced it, Joel was above the wave and couldn't catch it. That was the turning point for me. Every contest I've won, there's some moment where things go my way."

Slater, who now sits at 3rd on the ASP WCT ratings, views today's victory as a turning point in the 2012 season and will look to carry his recent momentum throughout the upcoming European leg of competition.
"I knew that heat would either make or break me for the year," Slater said. "I would have let Parko (Joel Parkinson) have those extra 2,000 points if he'd won and it would look very different on the ratings. It's nice heading into Europe. I feel like I've had so many good years at Lowers and the pressure is really on every year to make the Final – I feel like it's been like that since I've been on tour. It's cool to win the 50th here. I won my first event as a pro here and it's great to get this win."
Joel Parkinson was dominant throughout the entirety of the Hurley Pro at Trestles, consistently posting high scores in every round of competition. The stylish Australian was unable to find the set waves he had been able to in previous rounds, but today's Runner-Up finish against Slater cements his position as ASP WCT No. 2 heading into Europe.
"A Final is a good result," Parkinson said. "Tahiti kind of hurt a lot. I felt like I was on a bit of a good one this week. It was all going well. Every time I paddled out, I had a lot of waves and Kelly (Slater) had those heats where he had no waves and I was thinking, 'my mojo is stronger.' Sure enough, the Final was a slow one. It was one of those ones where you feel like you're on point all week and Mother Nature just lets you down."

Mick Fanning (AUS), 31, two-time ASP World Champion and current ASP WCT No. 1, was another standout at Lower Trestles this week, consistently lacerating the righthand Lowers walls with powerful combinations. However, Fanning was unable to find a rhythm in his Semifinal bout against Slater, exiting the Hurley Pro at Trestles with an Equal 3rd place finish.
"Even when he had those first two waves, I was confident that I could come back if the waves came," Fanning said. "It just stopped. That's the nature of our game. You can't really fight back if there is nothing there and I sort of thought after I didn't break the combo with that one wave, I was thinking there had to be a flurry or it was pretty much done."
Fanning, who entered the Hurley Pro at Trestles fresh off of a victory in Tahiti, knew advancing over Slater would have strengthened his lead in the hunt for the 2012 ASP World Title, but admitted that an equal 3rd place result is a strong addition to this season's campaign.
"Kelly (Slater) and I both knew what was going on and if I got on top from there the title race would have just been further away," Fanning said. "He surfed a really smart heat and threw caution to the wind and it paid off. I was just unlucky. The ocean didn't really cooperate with me, but a third is a keeper. It's another result I don't have to worry about and I learned a lot of things at this event."
Adriano de Souza © ASP / Rowland
Adriano de Souza (BRA), 25, current ASP WCT No. 5, led the South American contingent, eliminating fellow countryman and event standout Gabriel Medina (BRA), 18, in Round 5 and John John Florence (HAW), 19, in their Quarterfinals match, but was unable to surpass Parkinson's rampage in the Semifinals, finishing equal 3rd overall.
"I had a nice heat against Gabriel (Medina) a few months ago at the US Open and he beat me," De Souza said after his Quarterfinals win. "Gabriel's such a good guy and a good competitor, he's going to battle for the world title soon and I just got lucky. I was trying to find a few waves at the beginning to put pressure on him."

Brewing a Great
Cup of Coffee
There are myriad ways of brewing a great cup of coffee. The basics, however, are universal:
- Start with fresh, good-tasting cold water.
- If you choose whole beans, grind your beans just before brewing… and be sure to choose a grind appropriate for your brewing method (coarse for a coffee press, less so for a vacuum pot and fairly fine for an auto-drip).
- Measure your coffee. This is largely personal preference, but a good place to start is between one and two tablespoons for each six ounces of water. Err on the side of more coffee–too little coffee makes a bitter, not weaker, brew… and you can always dilute a strong brew with additional hot water.
- Brew your coffee using clean equipment.
- Enjoy your coffee immediately...or store it for an hour or two in a thermal carafe.
- Store unopened coffee bags in a cool, dry place. We eliminate most of the oxygen in our bags by flushing them with nitrogen (an inert gas that won't cause staling). After you open the bag, store your beans in an air-tight canister.
Savoring the Cup
Cupping coffees is one of the most unique aspects of our craft. When we "cup" coffees, we formally evaluate their qualities using very precise sensory criteria. Cupping is not just the realm of coffee experts. You can use some of the same criteria when judging your morning brew. Here's how:
- Breathe deep. Smell the just-ground coffee before it's brewed. The fragrance speaks volumes about the coffee's origin and the care of its processing.
- Brew. Breathe deep again. The aroma of brewed coffee also varies dramatically from origin to origin. Coffee can be: woodsy, earthy, citrusy, fruity, smoky, or nutty.
- Take a sip. Is it bright? This pleasing tang on the tongue is acidity. Acidity does not refer to the PH level of the coffee.
- Take another sip. Is the coffee earthy, nutty, fruity, toasty? There is huge diversity in the flavor of coffee from region to region, or even within a specific region. Try a few different blends or regions!
- And another sip. How does the coffee feel? What is its weight or texture? Full-bodied coffees may be buttery or even syrupy. Light-bodied coffees are more tea-like.
- Now you're really starting to enjoy the coffee. How does each sip finish? The sensations that remain in the mouth when the coffee is gone are the finish, or aftertaste. Some coffees impart a sweet, lingering finish; others are more direct, even abrupt.
- Before you know it, a full cup has elapsed, and you've been immersed in the wonderful wealth of sensoral information held within a single cup. Think about that coffee's balance, how all of its individual flavors and taste sensations come together. Great coffees are balanced – great coffees have a whole composition that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Top Viewed Rhode Island Maps
Rhode Island was inhabited since the earliest times by Native Americans, specifically the Wampanoag, Narragansett and Niantic tribes.
Roger Williams, in 1636, settled on the land granted to him in what is now Rhode Island after being banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony for his views on religion. It was hence sometimes referred to as "Rogue's Island".
Rhode Island was first among the original 13 colonies to declare themselves independent from British rule. However, the State was the last of the 13 original colonies to ratify the US Constitution.
Rhode Island is officially called the State of Rhode Island and Provident Plantations. It is a state near the New England region of the U.S. The state is the smallest in area, eigth least in overall population but second most densely populated, second only to New Jersey. The state is bordered by Connecticut and Massachusetts. It also shares a water boundary with New York in the southwest.
The nickname of the state is the "Ocean State" owing to its multiple large bays and inlets, which make up 14% of the total area of the state. The total area of the land of the state is 1,045 square miles (2,710 sq km).The state has a number of oceanfront beaches. Rhode Island does not have any real mountains and is mostly flat terrain.
The state of Rhode Island is ideal for travel. It has a number of tourist beaches and resorts. These include Newport, Watch Hill, Block Island, and Narragansett. Anothe rgreat tourist site is the Newport mansions: these are fabled extravagant cottages showing the grandeur of an age gone by.
The Benefit Street's Mile of History is an impressive collection of colonial homes in the U.S. Other attractions include the Providence Children's Museum, Roger Williams Park, Pawtucket Red Sox, Block Island, and much more. There are multiple options for those interested in the performing arts as well.
The state of Rhode Island is home to one of the most prestigious universities in the world: Brown. Apart from this, there are several schools, both primary and secondary, in the state. The state also has several other universities and colleges such as Providence College, Rhode Island College, Naval War College, University of Rhode Island, Bryant University, etc.

David Harris on Pittsburgh's Efforts to Improve Community-Police Relations
Efforts to improve community-police relations are the driving force behind a working group launched in response to tensions that arose after Homewood resident Jordon Miles' encounter with three Pittsburgh officers. Pitt Law Professor David Harris is working alongside 39 other community leaders and advocates to publicize the group's message, hoping to improve relations between law enforcement and residents.
Harris, who has studied and written extensively about similar situations and efforts taken to rectify those situations in cities like Detroit and Cincinnati, says that, "Only when the police and citizens are working together do we do everything we can to make this a better city and a safer city."

NEWPORT NEWS (AP) -- Christopher Newport University is relaxing its demonstration policy after students were denied permission to protest a visit by Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan.
The policy required students to give 10 business days' notice before a demonstration on the Newport News campus.
Christopher Newport President Paul Trible tells The Daily Press that the university will change the notice rule to 24 hours. Locations where students can protest will be expanded.
Ryan's visit last week wasn't announced until one business day in advance. Administrators refused to make an exception to the 10-day rule.
Trible says that was a mistake. He says an exception should have been granted.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia had urged the university to revise the policy.

One Direction's new movie This Is Us will give fans a behind-the-scenes look at their lives when it opens on Friday, but there's one thing that you won't see in the film: the guys' love lives. However, they say that wasn't something they purposely left out.
"We've never been a band that has, like, lied about having girlfriends," Harry Styles told ABC's Cynthia McFadden in an interview, excerpts of which aired on Tuesday's Good Morning America. "If people have been going out with people, we've always said that we have."
One 1D relationship that absolutely can't be denied is Zayn Malik 's: he recently got engaged to Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards . Have the two singers set a wedding date yet? Apparently not. "I'm not sure myself yet," Zayn revealed.
It'll be hard for Zayn to find time to plan a wedding, since he and 1D are busy working on their next album. While critics have knocked the group in the past for not writing their own music, they won't be able to say that about this new disc.
"I'm gonna say 10 songs," Niall Horan said, when asked how many he and the group had a hand in writing. "I mean there's only 13, 14 songs on the next album so we wrote the majority of them," Liam Payne added.
In just three short years, One Direction has sold over 30 million records, and they're convinced that they'll be able to stand the test of time. "We've been having a lot of fun and working really hard," Harry said when asked where he sees the group in ten years' time. "And I think we just want to keep doing that and see what happens.
This Is Us is in theaters on Friday.

The average dried fruit

I think they taste a bit like dried figs, only more sour - which is OK. They definitely do not taste like sour candy, which some of the other reviewers suggest. And you should be careful if you haven't eaten these before, as they seem to have the same effect on the digestive system as prunes do ...
Golden Berries and me

I am one of the Apple shape people, I use the berries on my cereal every morning and have done this for 4 months. This is starting to make difference in my weight and it is coming off the middle of my body, so I am going to continue my program and see where it goes for me.
A nice surprise

When I was ordering this item, I thought that Golden Berries it's a gooseberry (Grossularia). And I was so surprised, because it didn't tasted like that. It tasted and looked like a ground-cherry (Physalis). A very interesting and concentrated small vitamins. I've found use for it: adding it to cupcakes, cookies and pies. It's very to combine it with raisins and other dried fruits like apricots and figues, also nuts. Children like to eat them like they are. A very good item.
Sure, gode bær

Dette er slike pyntebær physalis som er tørka. Eg var ikkje klar over at dei inneheld næring nok til å vere supermat, - men desse er det.
Nice and tart flavour

They are certainly a bit sour, but chewy and somehow a little addicitive once you start eating them. Most dried fruit is very sweet so these are good for variety, I like the crunchy seeds and so does my parrot ;)
