Single Moms' Open Letter to Married Moms
Straight talk for attached parents, from two single mothers ...
Guest blogger Rachel Sarah and Dr. Leah Klungness: We are single moms who figured out a long time ago that our lives are immeasurably better if we can finesse at least a seemingly pleasant social relationship with our fellow mothers.
Particularly when you have young children, you're in it for the long haul with fellow mothers. High school graduation is at least a decade away, so cooperating with other moms is crucial as you try to nurture your kids' relationships with peers.
We're sure you agree, right?
This is why we're asking you for a bit of empathy and understanding.
Have you ever stopped to think how a single mom feels when you sing out over the din of kindergarten dismissal or the chaos of the soccer field:
"I'm a single mom this week! My husband is traveling, and I don't know HOW you do it!"
Talk about condescending! You're a single mom "this week"? Hello!
Maybe married moms are trying to find common ground as "buddies" -- or show a bit of empathy? -- but it just doesn't some across that way.
We feel you're snubbing us.
Your husband might be out of town for a few days, but he's still present. Your husband contributes to the household budget and occasionally makes dinner.
He kills willingly things with many legs residing under the kitchen sink, brings out the recycling after only being reminded once, puts the kids to bed, and takes you out on Friday nights.
Your 24/7 life is very different from ours.
That's why we're asking you for a bit of understanding. Could you please try to remember that single moms' lives are radically different from your own?
If you'd like to be friends, terrific. We'd love to, also. I'm sure we have many common interests, and we'd love to share some conversation.
But please don't pretend -- even for a second -- that you have any idea what it's like to be a single mom.
|Rachel Sarah, a.k.a. "Single Mom Seeking," blogs at SingleMomSeeking.com and co-founded SingleMommyHood.com, the first-ever website to offer "a whole new way to think about single parenting."
Thank you for this post. I think I will send it to all my married friends even my mother who when I vent about how hard it is responds "well, your father worked all the time" uggghhh! Thanks!
I totally agree. My sister is a single mom of two, and I have seen firsthand how hard that can be. I don't know what I would do without the help of my husband. Hopefully most single moms have someone else to depend on, like my sister had her sisters and our mom. Its still a struggle for her though.
Ok, I am over the victim mentality of EVERYONE. Life is hard, period. It doesn't matter if you are a single mom, married mom, stay at home mom, or working mom. Everyone has their struggles. And this constant attacking back and forth is just stupid. I read the first article, and it was just a mom trying to say that she gets it, so why attack her. No one can ever know how your life is, even if they are a single mom of thirty kids, any more than you can understand how their life is. So quit whining, grow up and realize that YOU made the decisions that got you where you are now. And unless you are a widow or had a husband that just left for no reason, you made choices contrary to what is right….. yes I just said RIGHT and you have to deal with it. Yes, I said it, and yes it was judgemental.
Bottom line, life is hard for everyone. It is part of the human experience, so quit attacking someone for trying to empathize the only way she was able to with the plight of single moms, and GROW UP!
I have been on both sides. I totally agree, it is very hard!! I am now blessed with a wonderful husband who is going to adopt my 8 year old, and we have one together. I feel for all the single moms out there, I was one for 3 years!!
I've been both, and yes being a single mom is much harder. With that being said, even thoug it's rough, try to play nice. Trying to get the sympathy vote won't win you any brownie points with the married moms. They will just move on to someone else. If they don't get it, they don't get it. So what. It is tough out there but you'll get farther by not whining and by making friends with the "other side".
The 4 years between losing my late-husband and remarrying were harder in some ways but not any different in others. My late-husband was terrified of bugs, so I was the bug squasher around these parts for over 20 years. He didn't get up with the children at night. He was bedridden for the last 18 months of his life, so I not only cared for our home, 18 month old, 3 1/2 year old, and him.
My "new" husband of almost 2 years works in a city an hour and a half from our home. I still handle most of the things I did before we married but if he's home he will squash bugs ;)
The writter's attitude surprises me a bit. I was a single mom for many years ,due to the bad choices I had made in my life, and I never viewed married mothers as being insensitive towards my situation. If anything, I envied them, because they made the right decisions in their lives and now their children were reaping the benefits of a two-parent home. I met a lot of awesome married women in my church who were great examples to me and challeged me to become a woman that would make better choices for myself and my daughter. I never felt like they looked down on me, but if I did happen to run into married moms that I felt didn't understand my situation I actually felt greatful that those woman and their children did not have to go through what my daughter and I had to go through each day. Maybe the writer of this article is having a problem with her own regrets and is taking it out on married moms rather than holding her own self accountable. I know from experience that being a single mom is hard and it's even harder on the kids. I've always carried around a guilt that I didn't make better choices for my daughter and for myself. All I can do now is make better decisions.
Umm, Single Mom, get over yourself!
What your married counterparts are staying is they sympathize with you… nothing more. If it's friends you want, you definitely need to lay off this "us vs them" attitude.
I'm a single mom and my life is pretty damn fabulous. I love my life, being single, and being a mom! No sympathy needed here!
Amy - how can you say that every single mom made choices that weren't right, aside from a dead husband or one who left for no reason? Are there NO other reasons that a woman could be a single parent? How about my sister, whose husband was great for a while, then turned into an abusive a—hole and tried to kill her? He's fresh out of jail now, and she's PROUD to be a single mom. Did she make a "wrong" choice by leaving him?!
Besides, your definition of "right" isn't always the same as everyone else's. Some people choose to be single moms for one reason or another - regardless of what YOU think is right. Get over it.
there are 2 differnt types of single moms, ones who are proud and one who want u to "quit snubbing" (feel sorry for) them. guess we know which type u are.
as a single mom, I say: aw, that sucks. now move on. don't let thoughtless comments get the best of you. they're just that: thoughtless. meaningless. like when people wish "merry christmas" to a jewish person. you can choose to correct them, judge them, get hurt by them … or you can choose to live your friggin' life. you're a single mom! you have enough to worry about.
I'm married and my life doesn't look anything like what you describe. My husband doesn't contribute to the budget, kill things, nor take me out on Friday nights. Life's hard. I think you need to develop a better external filter and move on.
I have a different view of single moms: sympathy and envy. Sympathy because I know being the only adult in the household to manage kids, time and resources can be very taxing for one woman 24/7. Envy because you probably have peace and space not having a man around to aggravate you in a dead-end marriage. I am a married wife and mother—and I haven't been on a date w/ my husband in ages. My parents divorced when I was 7 and it was a relief, A RELIEF, when they did. The travesty wasn't the divorce, but that my cheating dad abandoned us and didn't pay child support. Single moms, stay strong and be proud. Your kids will be proud of you.
OMG!!! Instead of moaning and groaning about how hard it is or isn't. To be or not to be a single mother.Why don't you all stop and say to one another.IT'S NO LONGER ABOUT YOU OR YOUR NEEDS!!!! Come on ladies, once we gave birth to our children, it's always going to be about them. NOT US !!Quit griping already and appreciate the hear and now.Remember, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger.
Wow - one of the most offensive blogs/articles I have ever read!
- Single Mom with lots of married mom friends!
Oh, boo hoo……I have been both, and let me tell ya….being married is harder. He's just another person to take care of. I wish he took the recyclables out, killed things, and dated me…NOPE…not every married mom has advantages, you know. Now I have a husband, 3 kids, a dog, and my mom who moved in to take care of…not that I'm whining, but it's a lot of people to coordinate. If he took someone somewhere, just once, I'd have a heart attack…..lol
I would rather be single (and I am) than be in the abusive marriage I escaped. I have many mom friends who are both married and single. I don't feel "snubbed" when any of the married ones say to me "I am a single mom this week, and I don't know how you do it." I feel more connected to them because I know they now have a better understanding of my day-to-day life. Having been a married mom for a while I would have to say that each role has its own unique challenges; not necessarily harder, just different.
PS) Amy~ Be careful of a self-righteous attitude. Pride cometh before a fall. Nobody needs to be so harshly judged. The measure you use to judge others will someday be used to judge you.
I think the article writer makes too many assumption about both single moms and married moms. Either way all moms have different issues to deal with regardless of marital status. I'm single and my life is good, but that's because I've been blessed. I like sharing my time with married and single mom friends. We all have things to gripe about and shouldn't waste our time doing a "we vs them." No one's life is perfect. Can we move on now?

Build your own inflation proof source of income in retirement with dividend stocks
Investors who are worried about inflation but want to protect their principal are often told to invest in Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, which are indexed for inflation. In other words, investors yield and principal are indexed to the CPI and adjusted as the CPI rises over time. This sounds like the perfect deal of a lifetime, except for two caveats.
First, the yields on short and medium term and even longer term TIPs (TIP) have been very low as of recently, indicating that any income growth would be derived solely from inflation. Second, some investors are afraid that the CPI number does not account for the actual inflation. Even a small difference of 1% annually compounded over a long period of time would make a difference in your retirement budget. There is also the factor that the basket of goods and services, which are used to calculate it, is different than the basket of goods and services that an individual investor uses.
So how can investors create an inflation proof source of income in retirement?
A very good solution is to create a diversified portfolio of at least 30 stocks, purchased over time. Try not to overpay for them, and make sure that they are in a market where earnings growth could be achieved. Without earnings growth, dividend growth is impossible to achieve for any sustainable period.
An investor whose main expense items are utilities, fast food, groceries, cigarettes and liquor as well as personal care items could build their own inflation proof source of income in retirement with the following dividend stocks:
Consolidated Edison, Inc.(ED), through its subsidiaries, provides electric, gas, and steam utility services in the United States. For example lets look at an investor whose monthly electric expense is about $100/month. They could purchase $20,000 worth of a basket of utilities stocks with long history of consistent dividend increases that yield 6%, in order to generate enough dividend income to never have to worry about this particular bill again. Con Edison is just one stock that could fit the characteristic. (analysis)
AT&T Inc. (T) operates as a communications holding company. Its subsidiaries and affiliates provide the AT&T brand services in the United States and internationally. What's better than having your landline or cellphone bill paid directly from your telecom company? If you spend $40/month on telecom services, you would need to invest approximately $8,000 in AT&T (T) stock. (analysis)
McDonald's Corporation (MCD), together with its subsidiaries, franchises and operates McDonald's restaurants in the food service industry worldwide. A $10,000 investment in McDonald's could provide enough income to purchase to purchase at least one big mac meal every week. (analysis)
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (WMT) operates retail stores in various formats worldwide. By purchasing enough Wal-Mart stock, dividend investors could receive sufficient income to pay at least a portion of their grocery expenses. (analysis)
Altria Group, Inc. (MO), through its subsidiaries, engages in the manufacture and sale of cigarettes and other tobacco products in the United States and internationally. By investing in Altria, investors could essentially pay for their tobacco expenses. (analysis)
Realty Income Corporation (O) engages in the acquisition and ownership of commercial retail real estate properties in the United States. Exposure to real estate would help investors hedge their rent expense. (analysis)
If you would like to have your consumer products "for free" you could invest in consumer prodcuts giants Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and Procter & Gamble (PG). Johnson & Johnson engages in the research and development, manufacture, and sale of various products in the health care field worldwide. Check my analysis of this dividend aristocrat. The Procter & Gamble Company on the other hand engages in the manufacture and sale of consumer goods worldwide. The company has raised dividends every year for over half a century. (analysis)
In order to generate enough to pay for your gas expenses, a dividend investor might consider investing in one of the oil majors such as Exxon Mobil (XOM) or Chevron Texaco (CVX). Thus this investor would have the dividends received from these companies essentially pay for his or her annual gas expenses.
This article should really get you thinking not only about generating sufficient inflation adjusted income stream in retirement, but also about cutting unnecessary costs to the bone. Most novice dividend investors believe that simply purchasing the highest yielding stocks would do the trick of generating a sufficient dividend income stream for the next 3-4 decades. If a company is already paying most of its earnings out as dividends, chances are its ability to reinvest in the growth of the business are extremely strained. Because of the low growth expectations the market could assign a high current yield to this stock. Thus, an investor relying on this dividend stock might realize that it has failed to keep up with inflation and that he would have to downgrade his lifestyle.
Full Disclosure: I have positions in all stocks mentioned above

There's a poster on one of the Morningstar discussion forums who implements this exact strategy. He tailors it to his particular utility company, phone carrier, and the like. It's a very practical way to capitalize on a dividend growth strategy, especially for a retiree (you're right about the CPI.)ReplyDelete
Thanks for a thought-provoking post.
I agree - great post. A very creative and pragmatic illustration of the power of dividend investing in high quality companies.ReplyDelete

This was a great entry DGI and a different angle then I had thought on how dividends protect against inflation. As inflation sets in and prices go up these companies will be receiving more money for their products and services and thusly a solid dividend company will pass that increase on to the investor.ReplyDelete
I'm not sure I follow, and it might be my lack of experience. Are you assuming that the stock growth, over time, will offset inflation? Over the past 30 years, inflation has averaged 4.3% (see www.inflationdata.com). If you have a dividend portfolio yielding 4-5% per year, how do you ever outpace inflation without relying on market growth? Or do you assume that your principal will rise, as these companies are stable to begin with?ReplyDelete

I really enjoyed the previous story, but this was written to shock and gross out. In the process, the story and characters faulted.

if youre looking for a sound that is a recreation of a soprano an octave lower, this is the bass for you. i would absolutely pick a privilege over this bass. if you want a distinct sound, this is not the bass for you. if youe a doubler, this is not the bass for you. if you are soloing this is DEFINITELY not the bass for you. if you want to be "normal" this is the bass for you. if you want to be "mediocre" this is the bass for you. if you want to be what everyone thinks the bass clarinet is, "unheard in the orchestra, useless, overpowered" this is not the bass for you. please do yourself a favor, try this next to the privilege. just stop thinking about everything. but what do i know. im just writing a review.i was one of those people, who bought this bass without trying the privilege. i tried the privilege at district. my stomach dropped. biggest mistake of my life. next day i went to a store and traded it for a privilege. im never going to get that money back. dont be like me. try them both without any bias ism.
The 1193 is just a phenomenal horn. The altissimo plays even easier than the Selmer top-of-the line. The Three alternate fingerings for low D is extremely helpful, and the set-up of the keys fits the hands perfectly. (I have big hands) I have played on many bass clarinets, and none of them come close to the Buffet 1193. It's expensive because you are getting top quality grenadilla, and it's hard to find such large pieces that are of high enough standards for Buffet's clarinets.
In my opinion, this instrument is the gold standard for Bass Clarinet sound. I have had one for 10 years now (previous version- mostly just a different bell,) and paired it with a Roger Garrett mouthpiece (MO). It has a gigantic sound, great hand position and plays easily in every octave- even altissimo. You can play ANYTHING on this instrument. The Gortex pads are like new after 10 years. The only suggestion I would make is to be sure and humidify the instrument if your climate includes a winter season like here in the mid-west. I use 3 cello size humidifiers, and the instrument seems to sound best when the humidity inside the case is 50% or a little higher. (Buy a hygrometer sold for violin cases) As a repair tech, I have seen many of these big horns crack. I know there is a back order on these Basses a lot of the time, but well worth the wait.
These are a phenomenal horn. The one that I own is easily the best clarinet Bb, A, Eb etc that I have ever played. I was working as a repairer and tried a batch of six to choose this one. If at all possible I would suggest the same for potential buyers as Buffet seems to have inadequate quality control as all of the horns were very different in every aspect and some bordered on unplayable from the factory. The horn that I own centers extraordinarily well re: tone and pitch and does not have that vague feeling that a lot of basses have in regards to the pitch it is smack on. The pitch across all of the registers is superior to any clarinet that I have ever played. The only note I take care on is the high G. I spent about 18 months working of and on to get it playing properly as the bottom end is very difficult to set up well and requires repeated adjustments to refine the seating. Once it is set up the adjustment is rock solid. Now to really upset you I use a 7C Yamaha mouthpiece with a Legere studio tenor sax reed. The Yamaha mouthpiece is superior in tone and tuning to any other mouthpiece on the market. If you have the rails and tip thinned it will also tongue quicker than anything else out there.
Have played bass clarinet for over 30 years and this instrument is WAY ahead of anything I've ever played. The sound is a little less big than the Selmer horns but the keywork and intonation are much better. With a Grabner or Fobes mouthpiece you will make beautiful music with this horn. It actually makes bass clarinet playing no more complicated than playing the Bb. My only complaint is the case. It is a little flimsy and could do with a bigger compartment for storage. However there are other cases that fit this horn nicely that you can use a substitute.

-- Robert Preidt
THURSDAY, Oct. 6 (HealthDay News) -- People whose parents had a
drinking problem are more likely to reach for the bottle when
they're under stress, a new study says.
Swedish researchers divided 58 healthy people into two groups
based on whether they had a family history of alcohol abuse. Both
groups were placed in a stressful situation (solving math problems
under timed conditions in public) and then allowed to drink.
People who had at least one parent with a drinking problem drank
more than others after being put under stress, University of
Gothenburg researchers found.
The study was published in the October issue of the journal
Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior.
Previous research has shown that children of alcoholics have a
50 percent increased risk of developing a drinking problem. These
new findings shed light on this association, the researchers
"If alcohol relaxes you when you're stressed, then you should try to find other ways of calming yourself down -- relaxation exercises, for example," study author Anna Soderpalm Gordh said in a university news release.

Dr. Sonneman came to our house for our daughter's newborn checkup and we've loved her ever since. Her office is small, so there's never more than one other party in the waiting room and she's always on time. Her office is warm and homey and she takes over 30 mins for a wellness exam that never feels rushed. She is responsive to email questions in between visits. I think she's a really great pediatrician and recommend her highly.

Dr. Sonneman takes the time to throughly understand my daughter's current status, focusing not only on her physical but also mental well-being. She is warm and caring, something that my daughter respond very well to. An appointment seems more like a play date than and exam to my daughter because Dr. Sonneman is very creative and makes her examinations fun. Dr. Sonneman is up to date on all the current research and takes the time to explain any concerns or ideas that she has in detail in words that I understand. Our appointments are always 45-60 minutes long.

HOUSTON -- If there's one player who never has to be reminded of the importance of rebounding, it's Denver's Kenneth Faried.
That was clear on Wednesday night.
Ty Lawson scored 21 points and Faried had 16 points and 16 rebounds to help the Nuggets to a 93-87 victory over the Houston Rockets.
Faried, a second-year player who holds the NCAA modern-era record for rebounds with 1,673 in his college career, had three in the last minute to hold off a late surge from Houston.
"I just felt the whole game that Kenneth had the spirit that he was going to win this game tonight," Denver coach George Karl said. "He was pretty incredible."
James Harden had a tough night for the Rockets and finished with a season-low 15 points on 5 of 15 shooting.
Harden bulled into the lane for a layup to cut Denver's lead to five with just less than four minutes remaining. But Danilo Gallinari tipped in a missed free throw before a rim-rattling alley-oop dunk by Faried pushed the lead to 89-80.
A pair of free throws by Jeremy Lin cut it to 91-87 with 1:21 remaining. Lin got knocked in the nose on the foul and was bleeding. He had to shoot the free throws with paper stuffed in his left nostril.
Faried blocked a layup attempt by Harden and Chandler Parsons missed a 3-pointer seconds later.
Faried got the rebound on the miss and dunked it on the other end to secure the win.
"The block, his offensive rebounding, his energy -- I thought he was probably the most energized guy on the court," Karl said.
Faried, who finished with nine offensive rebounds, said those rebounds were most important when the Nuggets struggled to hit shots late.
"I think it has a lot to do with what we do in practice," he said of offensive rebounding. "Extra possessions are really important in this league and we got a lot of them tonight."
Harden, Houston's newest acquisition, was held in check for most of the night and entered the fourth quarter 2 of 9 with just seven points. Traded from Oklahoma City on Oct. 27 and signed to a five-year, $80 million contract extension a few days later, he was named the Western Conference player of the week after scoring 106 points in his first three games.
"Right now we're in a little bit of a funk," Houston coach Kevin McHale said. "The game right now feels hard ... it doesn't feel like it's rolling and flowing, and we've got to get rolling and flowing and then good things will happen."
Harden believes Houston's struggles come from his joining the team so recently.
"As the games go on, we'll get better," he said. "We haven't played together. We didn't have a training camp or have time to really put in some sets, so we're kind of just figuring things out as we go."
Denver double-teamed Harden some, but the main task of guarding him fell to Andre Iguodala.
"He's such an explosive scorer the way he attacks," Iguodala said. "You really have to be alert at all times. The biggest thing is just being proactive and not reactive to what he's about to do."
The Nuggets led by four in the fourth quarter and used a 7-2 spurt, capped by an alley-oop dunk by Faried to make the lead 78-69 with about nine minutes remaining.
Houston finally got its offence going after a tough-shooting first half and went on a 20-7 run to open the third quarter and cut the lead to 63-61 with just under three minutes left in the quarter. Patrick Patterson led the charge in that span, scoring 12 points.
Patterson had a chance to tie it with about two minutes left, but he badly missed a jump shot.
Patterson finished with 18 points and Carlos Delfino had 19. Omer Asik added 10 points and 13 rebounds for Houston, and Lin had six points, six assists and a career-high six steals.
Gallinari hit a 3 for the Nuggets before they made four straight free throws to push the lead to eight. Delfino's 3-pointer left Houston down 69-64 entering the fourth quarter.
Asik got hit in the face grabbing a rebound in the third quarter and received four stitches on the side of his left eye. He tried to remain in the game after taking the hit, but officials called a timeout because of the bleeding. They weren't able to stop the bleeding on the court so Asik headed to the locker room.
He returned to the start of the fourth quarter.
The Nuggets led by seven after one quarter. Parsons and Delfino made back-to-back 3-pointers for Houston to cut the lead to 25-24 to start the second.
Denver was up by two points midway through the quarter before using a 21-6 run to extend the lead to 54-39 about 2 1/2 minutes before halftime. Lawson had 14 points including a pair of 3-pointers in that span. Houston missed nine shots, including three layups during Denver's run.
NOTES: Asik has had at least 10 rebounds in three straight games. ... Iguodala had 13 points and three steals. ... Harden tied a career high with five steals.

What will James Luna do at our Museum? Before we get to that
question, let us begin with some background. James Luna is a
critically acclaimed installation, performance, and video artist
whose work has appeared in the National Museum of the American
Indian (NMAI), the Whitney Museum and The New Museum in New York,
and many other great museums and galleries. In 2005, Luna
represented the United States at the Venice Biennale.
Luna's artwork explores themes of identity and race. He is
particularly captivated by the consequences of what happens when
one group of people impose themselves on another. As a Native
American, Luna focuses on how American Indians are represented in
history. He asks: Who defines who is "Indian"? What does it mean to
be "Indian"? Why does being "Indian" matter?
Employing his sly humor and acute sense of irony, Luna subverts
our society's norms and expectations. In his pieces, Luna often
wears costume-party Indian headdresses made of florescent chicken
feathers to help make this point. Luna is particularly effective at
challenging our romantic ideas of the Indian, which too often
empower outsiders to define who is a "real" Indian. As NMAI curator
Paul Chaat Smith has written, "Luna insists that authenticity is
not a goal for Indian people, but a prison." Luna rejects the idea
of a tradition-bound and timeless Indian that exists in the past
instead of our modern world.
Luna turned his attention to the museum world because museums as
institutions have played a key role in defining the Indian in the
public imagination. One of his earliest artworks,The Artifact
Piece, was first installed and performed at the Museum of Man in
1987. Luna transformed his own life into a natural history display.
In the gallery were photos, documents, and things from Luna's life,
presented in a dry and neutral tone as if they were rare
anthropological and archival specimens. Most startlingly, Luna
turned his body into an artifact-literally. He laid in a display
case for hours on end, nearly naked, absolutely still, as if he was
an Indian skeleton or mannequin.The Artifact Piecehas become famous
because it so boldly challenged the difference between the generic
Indian-so often on display at museums-and the intensely personal
life of a specific Indian named James Luna. The artwork encouraged
the museum visitor to confront what it means to transform Native
Americans into museum objects.
When I first met this renowned artist, I was surprised to find
him reserved and quiet, even veering toward shy. This was
surprising because in his pieces, Luna so bravely and boldly bares
his experiences, and soul. InHalf Indian/Half Mexican-on display
today at the Denver Art Museum-Luna elegantly reveals that he is
descended from mixed heritages. Luna's mother is a Luiseño Indian,
and his father is Mexican. This photographic triptych-audacious for
one of the leading "Native American" artists in the country-compels
the viewer to reflect on what it means to be biologically and
ethnically "half."
The question of what James Luna would do at our Museum is a
question I first pondered when I arrived here as a curator in 2007.
Luckily for me, I later met him in person and asked if he might be
interested in turning his gaze to Denver. He agreed.
Luna is creatingMaking Do, a work specifically designed to be
presented at this Museum. Luna will explore what he considers a
survival skill developed by his California Indian peoples to endure
a post-contact world. Though the establishment of Spanish pueblos
began in earnest in 1769, Luna maintains the real transition period
for the modern period began later, during the 1800s. Indians found
their gathering and hunting lands gone, children were sent off to
federal boarding schools, traditional religious practice competed
with Catholicism, and the role of "warrior" was diminished only to
later reemerge when Indian men and women joined the US military.
During this transition period, Indians cleverly made do with what
they had in hopes of maintaining an Indian life and way of
thinking, and coming to grips with the loss of the "free" lifestyle
they once lived.
Despite the past hardships of his community, Luna conveys a
sense of the dynamic range of emotions, such as sadness, happiness,
and hope, that are often absent from exhibits about American
Indians. Luna's installations and performances often use family
photos, objects, and stories to communicate that his art comes from
a real place in the present, not from the past, but from a life
that continues on today. We are pleased and honored that Luna has
elected to share his talent and perspective at the Museum, and we
look forward to welcoming him to the Denver community.

The Sun Times' Sean Jensen had a sitdown with recently released Johnny Knox and the former Chicago Bear is calling it quits on a comeback bid. Just reading the opener of Jensen's piece brings a reality to the situation:
Johnny Knox looks like he's in game-shape when he appears in the dimly-lit entrance of a Chicago hotel restaurant Wednesday morning.
Except the always lean receiver walks with a limp, and he struggles to sit or stand comfortably, the lingering effects of a devastating hit he endured at Soldier Field 13 ½ months ago.
Knox tried for over a year to fully recover from a vicious hit he suffered against the Seahawks in December of 2011, but when the Bears terminated his contract on Tuesday, he decided to move on with his life and move away from football:
"As an athlete, you don't want to give up, you want to keep on fighting. That's how I've always been," Knox says. "But it's been on my heart for a while. I know how my body feels, and I know I'm not going to be the same and perform at the ability that I used to. So I'm moving on and going forward."
Knox holds no ill will towards the Bears or to the game he loved. The Bears did right by him by paying him his full salary and helping him rehab with the team all of the 2012 season despite the fact that it was highly unlikely he'd ever return to football. He's upbeat about the next chapter in his life and he's put his faith in God's plan for him.
Knox plans to stick around town with his wife and two kids, so if you happen to bump into him, wish him well.

The Word: Cee Lo may need a new 'Voice' sidekick
Last season on "The Voice," Cee Lo's sidekick, Purrfect the evil-faced cat, was quite the hit, lending the judge a funky Dr. Evil-meets-Lewis Carroll swagger.
But animal rights activists aren't so psyched for his new on-air companion, a Moluccan cockatoo named Lady.
"Moluccan cockatoos are beautiful, intelligent animals but they are very challenging to care for especially in the long term, and are prone to considerable welfare problems," Monica Engrebretson of advocacy organization Born Free tells TMZ, citing concerns that ill-prepared fans will buy the notoriously difficult pets. "Many Moluccan cockatoos develop self-destructive behavior including feather plucking and self mutilation not known to occur in the wild."
Poor Lady! Reality TV is the most oppressive of captivities, and is known cause feather-plucking among even marginally intelligent newspaper editors. Cee Lo, if you want a colorful companion that speaks in near gibberish, we suggest an intern.
Amber Heard is living our dream
Rumors that the recently single Johnny Depp is involved with actress Amber Heard are heating up now that he bought her a horse. Depp, who is shooting "The Lone Ranger" in New Mexico, was looking for some company to ride the trails with between takes, reports E! News.
To recap: This girl looks like Barbie, and now Edward Scissorhands bought her a pony. So help me Peter Venkman if she lands a role in the new "Ghostbusters" movie.
Octomon flying low
We haven't been keeping you updated on Nadya "Octomon" Suleman's adventures in stripping and porn because, apparently, even we have limits and an inkling desire for truth and beauty.
But we did tune back in when we heard about Suleman's trouble on a recent flight to New York. Her manager tells TMZ that the Virgin America crew harassed them, ordering them to change seats, denying them beverages, prohibiting them from using the bathroom and then laughing at them.
Oh ladies, welcome to coach, where we are all despised equally and enthusiastically. Come meet your neighbors over warm Diet Coke and regret.

Libby Richardson, Chairman of The Cody G. Richardson Memorial Scholarship Foundation, gives the following report:
The second annual Cody G. Richardson Relentless Run 5K and Fun Walk to benefit the Cody G. Richardson Memorial Scholarship Fund was held on 1 June in Perryville. The event brought together nearly 600 participants and volunteers to honor Cody and assist in making the dream of a college education and athletics a possibility for Harford and Cecil gounty graduating high school seniors.
The Relentless Run 5K is in honor of Cody, an accomplished athlete and 2011 graduate of Perryville High School who lost his life in July 2011 at the age of 18 in a tragic car accident. Cody was a spirited and loving son, brother, grandson, nephew and friend to many. Born early with troubling complications and near misses, Cody prevailed through a series of tremendous physical hardships to grow into an exceptional young man, a gifted athlete and Maryland State Champion hurdler.
From a young age, Cody realized the life he dreamed of would take hard work. To him, the world was full of possibilities and opportunities. He learned to believe in himself and he looked at this world through a lens of hope, aspiration and willingness. He worked hard in school, in the gym and in the field developing as an athlete and also spiritually while attending church. He formed lasting friendships with people of all ages and backgrounds and left an indelible mark on the hearts of many.
Maintaining this memorial event is a fitting tribute to Cody and allows his legacy to continue. The foundation's hope is for high school seniors to benefit from their efforts, for those who knew him to keep him close, and for those who didn't know him to learn more about this outstanding young man. This CGR Memorial Run/Walk is designed to engage folks of any age or ability by offering a day filled with fun to create lasting memories and give back to the community by way of scholarship benefits.
As a scholarship benefit, these funds raised were awarded to students who best represented Cody's Relentless "DID-IT" spirit of devotion, innocence, duty, integrity and tenacity. Through the run/walk event, tireless fundraising efforts and sponsorship of many Cecil and Harford county businesses and community members, the fund was able to provide 11 Harford and Cecil county students with $1,500 or $1,000 scholarships for the fall 2013 college semester. Student enrichment and the betterment of the community is the CGR Memorial's focus. Health through fitness and fellowship is what Cody was about and what the representative CGR Relentless events are all about.
The recipients for 2013 were as follows:
• $1,500 scholarship winners, Eric Barton of Perryville High School and Nicholas Adams of Bel Air High School.
• $1,000 scholarship winners Leo Bitner III of Perryville High School; Michael Capozzoli of C. Milton Wright High School; Kaylee Haberkam of Perryville High School; Amy Kling of Havre de Grace High School; Jimmia McCluskey of Aberdeen High School; Domenique Palogruto of Elkton High School; Robert Smith of Havre de Grace High School; Brooke Thompson of the Tome School and Allison Watson of Perryville High School.
The Cody G. Richardson Memorial Scholarship Foundation is dedicated to continuing this memorial fund for years to come to carry on the legacy of Cody's giving spirit and for the relentless pursuit of bright futures for high school seniors.
We sincerely thank all who participated in our second annual CGR Relentless memorial event along with the many business sponsors and community donations that have helped to make our goal a huge success: Quality Impression, American Legion Post 135, Greene Turtle, Golden Corral, Tri Source Contracting, Home Instead Senior Care, Cecil Whig, Carr Family Dentistry, Ferrell Cooling and Heating Inc., Aberdeen Rotary Club, Maryland Portable Concrete Inc., HarCo MD Federal Credit Union, Armstrong, United Progressive Builders, TRISOURSE Environmental LLC, Country Garden Center Inc., Hinder Ford Inc., Horizon Services, Artistry in Plastic Surgery, Saxon's Diamond Centers, Ferrell Fuel, Harford Bank, Coca-Cola, MD Agency Financial Group, Heritage Mazda of Bel Air, Bobby's Portable Restrooms, Harford Financial Group, Hollywood Casino, Denton Water, Baltimore Ravens, Johnnie's Sushi House, Nike Outlet Perryville, Brooms and Blooms Dairy Store, Rita's – North East, Body Force Fitness, Bel Air Athletic Club, Walgreens – Perryville, Gingerbread Man Running Company, Chesapeake Publishing, Food Lion – Perryville, Yorktown Sports, Philly Pretzel – Elkton and MindyK Photography.

Q&A: How long do I have to wait to get pregnant after a C-section?
I was wondering how long I have to wait to try to get pregnant after having had a C-cection. I am hoping to have a VBAC. Also, I had pregnancy-induced hypertention, what are the chances that I will get that again?
Complications rates are higher when a second pregnancy is conceived soon after delivery. The shorter the interval, the higher the risk. For example, an interval of nine months increased the risk of preterm birth 17-fold. An interval of six months increased the risk 23-fold. The optimal time to conceive is between 18 months and five years post delivery.
Studies have also found that in women who had a Cesarean section and the interval from delivery to conception is less than six months: there was a 3-fold increase in the risk for uterine rupture, a 3-fold increase in risk for a blood transfusion, a 2-fold risk in other complications (bladder, bowel injury, artery laceration).
There are widely varying estimates of the chance of recurrence of pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH). In an Australian study, women with PIH in their first pregnancy experienced it 50 percent of the time in their second pregnancy. This is about five times higher than would be expected in the general population.

Stores in North America, the U.K., Korea, Taiwan, Japan and Australia succeed by carrying a narrow selection of luxury goods at competitive prices. Known for its corporate responsibility, Costco is moving to raise awareness for its pharmacies, and for its North American website, which it plans to expand into other countries. New mobile applications will also help Costco grow and improve in search rankings. Meanwhile, the experience keeps shoppers enthralled.
