Tyler Vining top seed to sub-regional
Kettle Falls High wrestled at Republic High School in the BulldogsŌĆÖ final all-school match-up of the season last Saturday. The meet also served as seeding to the 2B sub-regional meet on Saturday at Lake Roosevelt High School.
Regional competition will be held at Kittitas High School Feb. 10-11.
The girlŌĆÖs sub-regional, where KettleŌĆÖs Lindsey Olvera will be slotted at 106 pounds, will be held at East Valley High School in Spokane on Saturday. The girlŌĆÖs sub-regional includes Class B through 4A.
Northport among
boyŌĆÖs favorites
That annual rite of early February, the Panorama League boyŌĆÖs and girls basketball tournaments, will make their runs this week.
The tournament will culminate on Saturday at Kettle Falls with district seeding and championship games.
In Panorama Tournament opening round games on Tuesday (boys), Northport (16-3, 11-2) hosted Cusick (8-10, 7-5) and Selkirk (8-11, 8-5) was at regular season champion Wellpinit (14-5, 12-0). Both games were scheduled for 6 p.m. starts.
Indians will host Riverside in loser-out
After getting a busy week started on the right sneaker with a big road win at Lakeside, the Colville High boyŌĆÖs basketball team saw opportunity slip through their grasp last weekend at home.
The Indians (11-9, 6-4) were outplayed by NEA champion Freeman (13-7, 8-2) and by second place Chewelah (15-5, 7-3) on Saturday.
Colville gives top-ranked
Freeman all they can handle
By virtue of their second place Northeast A League finish, the Colville High girls avoid the District 7 1A Tournament loser-out pressure cooker on Saturday and can prepare for the opening round of the double elimination portion of the tournament that gets started Wednesday, Feb. 8 at Mead High School.
Indians down Lakeside,
Riverside back-to-back
Colville High shared the Northeast A League dual meet championship last winter with Lakeside and Riverside. This time around, there is no sharingŌĆöthe Indians have annexed the NEA championship over Lakeside and Riverside outright.
The Colville Road Warriors, who have seldom been home this winter on what seems like an extended road trip, annexed a league championship last week with a 48-31 win at Lakeside. The Indians, who went through the NEA unscathed this winter, followed that up one night later with a 39-29 dual match win at Riverside.
William Leonard Hill, ŌĆ£Dr. BillŌĆØ to his friends, passed away at his Deep Lake home on Jan. 24, 2012. Bill was born on Jan, 3, 1948 in Gridley, California, the son of Billy and Louise (Kirkham) Hill.
At the age two, his family purchased and moved to a new ranch just north of Deep Lake.
Bill attended grade school at Leadpoint and graduated from Northport High School in 1966. Soon after high school graduation, he spent several years living and working in Wenatchee.

Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
Review: 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe
This 2007 review is representative of model years 2007 to 2012.
By Ann Job of MSN Autos
Bottom Line:
Hyundai revamped its midsize Santa Fe SUV as a second-generation model. It's better looking, better riding, has plenty of standard equipment, earned a top safety rating and now offers seven seats. Why pay more for an SUV?
Hyundai did it again.
Revamped for 2007, the Hyundai Santa Fe sport-utility vehicle is so well-appointed with safety features and standard amenities and has such pleasant V6 power that it can make consumers wonder why they'd pay more for another crossover SUV.
How much more?
Well, given that the freshly styled and larger-for-2007 Santa Fe starts at just over $22,000 for a base, two-wheel-drive model with manual transmission, just over $22,300 for a two-wheel-drive model with automatic transmission and just over $23,000 for an all-wheel-drive version, any mainstream, family-size SUV over $25,000 ought to force some comparison shopping.
Granted, a Hyundai badge may not be as impressive as a Toyota. The Santa Fe isn't as expressive as a Dodge SUV, for that matter. And the Santa Fe doesn't have a V8, like some Ford SUVs offer, and it doesn't have the kind of off-road capability of a Jeep.
But for many American drivers, the new Santa Fe has appealing style and amenities, a five-star, federal government safety rating and, perhaps most importantly, an attainable price.
Don't worry. The Santa Fe doesn't look cheap. In fact, the redone styling for the second-generation Santa Fe is much nicer than the original Santa Fe that had some weird style lines, here and there.
Now, headlights on the Santa Fe remind me of Audi, and rear-end styling is reminiscent of that on a BMW X3.
Many changes for 2007
The base and buzzy 4-cylinder engine of earlier Santa Fes is gone. Starting in 2007, there's a top V6 with 242 horsepower and a base, 185-horsepower V6.
Both have higher fuel economy ratings than the predecessor V6s. The best mileage rating for a 2007 Santa Fe with automatic transmission and two-wheel drive is 21 miles a gallon in city driving and 26 mpg on the highway, up from 19/25 mpg from a Santa Fe from a year earlier. This is for a two-wheel-drive model with base, 2.7-liter V6.
The best mileage rating for an all-wheel-drive, 2007 Santa Fe also is up — to 19/25 mpg. This is the same rating as a two-wheel-drive, 2007 Toyota Highlander with larger displacement V6, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Hyundai's U.S. approach
South Korea-based Hyundai started selling cars in the United States in the 1980s. But quality was poor, and the brand got a reputation for cheap, less-than-durable models.
Officials sought to invigorate the brand and correct things in the 1990s, culminating in a best-in-the-industry new-car warranty that the company hoped would encourage shoppers to try Hyundai again.
This warranty — with limited, bumper-to-bumper coverage for five years/60,000 miles and limited powertrain coverage for 10 years/100,000 miles — still comes with every new Hyundai, including the Santa Fe. So does a five-year/60,000-mile roadside assistance program.
It's also worth noting that in the 2006 Initial Quality Study measuring complaints from car owners after three months of ownership by automotive researcher J.D. Power and Associates, Hyundai held down third spot in the industry, behind high-priced brands Porsche and Lexus.
But Hyundai's older models still bring down the brand in longer-term ownership issues. In Power's 2006 Dependability Study, which measured complaints after three years of ownership, Hyundai still ranked below average.
Company officials respond that as older models are replaced by newer ones, the overall dependability results will go up, too.
Easy power and ride
This was a base model with carpeted cargo and floor mats that were a bit pricey option at $90. But everything else in the vehicle — from driver's seat adjustable lumbar support and air conditioning to heated outside mirrors and light in the glovebox — was standard.
OK, I'd like a bit better stereo system. The standard, 112-watt system, with single CD player, isn't stirring.
The base, 2.7-liter V6 wasn't overbearing in its power, yet it responded quickly to get the Santa Fe merging into traffic and passing others. Torque peaked at 183 lb-ft at 4000 rpm.
I just wish the 4-speed automatic with this engine was a 5-speed, which could boost fuel economy further. As it is, Hyundai puts the 5-speed in Santa Fes that get the uplevel, 3.3-liter V6 that generates 226 lb-ft of torque at 4500 rpm.
The ride was quieter than I expected. Hyundai boasts that at highway speed, the Santa Fe is quieter than Toyota's Highlander.
Many road bumps were nicely kept away from passengers. This second-generation Santa Fe received a new platform and new MacPherson strut front suspension.
But there was an occasional "grunch" sound that came from the front left wheel area of the test Santa Fe when I'd pull into my driveway, and on potholed roads I sometimes wished for a tad more sophisticated suspension.
Standard tires on Santa Fes with the base engine are 16 inches in diameter. Buyers of the larger V6 get more noticeable 18-inchers.
Steering was mainstream in its feel, neither twitchy nor loose.
Odds and ends
I also appreciated that even in the base Santa Fe has "active" front head restraints that help reduce whiplash injuries in a rear-end crash. Other standard safety features are curtain airbags, side-mounted, front-seat airbags, traction control, stability control and antilock brakes.
But Hyundai doesn't offer, even as an option, a backup assist system to help drivers see what's behind them, and visibility is limited back there.
All Santa Fes can be fitted with the optional third row for approximately $1,300. Note that third-row legroom is decent for kids and adults. For comparison, it's more than what's in the third row of the Acura MDX.
Maximum cargo space also is competitive at 78.2 cubic feet.

Sundance Institute Artist Services Program Supports Filmmakers with Help of Six More Organizations
Keri Putnam, Executive Director of Sundance Institute, today announced that the Institute's Artist Services program - which provides Institute artists with exclusive opportunities for creative self-distribution, marketing and financing solutions for their work - has expanded to include selected films supported by one foundation and five nonprofit organizations. Additionally, these organizations will join with Sundance Institute in continuing to shape the program and the services it offers.
The Bertha Foundation, BRITDOC, Cinereach, Film Independent, the Independent Filmmaker Project and the San Francisco Film Society will each select films that they have supported to receive access to best-in-class digital distribution arrangements that have been negotiated by Sundance Institute Artist Services. These services are targeted for filmmakers who intend to pursue an independent release plan. In support of these filmmakers, the Institute will curate submitted films and work closely each organization, the filmmakers, and exclusive aggregation partner Cinedigm - New Video to develop independent distribution strategies. Furthermore, each organization will work with the Institute to expand educational opportunities to their alumni building on the model of the Artist Services Workshop that takes place each year during the Sundance Film Festival.
"Now more than ever filmmakers need to be creative and entrepreneurial in order to get their stories to audiences. Sundance Institute embraces cross-organizational collaboration in an effort to increase the collective impact on the field; it is in this spirit that we welcome the input of our colleagues to further help us shape the Artist Services program, " said Putnam. "Our hope is that it contributes to the long-term sustainability of independent film careers and a greater diversity of films reaching audiences each year."
With the addition of new partners Tugg, Reelhouse, VHX, and Vimeo, Sundance Institute is expanding its suite of digital platforms and tools offered by Artist Services. Current partners include ten digital retailers as well as Kickstarter , GoWatchIt, and Topspin Media. Tugg is a web-platform that allows filmmakers and fans to create screening events at their local theater. Direct-to-fan platforms Reelhouse, VHX and Vimeo, like longtime Artist Services collaborator Topspin Media, will work with Sundance Institute and its interested supported filmmakers to develop opportunities to sell their films and merchandise directly to end users. All four new partners will participate in the annual Artist Services Workshop on Monday, January 21, at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.
Since the Artist Services program launched in January 2011, more than $3.2 million has been raised for nearly 100 Institute artists' projects via Kickstarter and more than 40 films are now accessible by the public on a variety of platforms and storefronts.
The exclusive aggregation partner for distribution participating in the Artist Services program is Cinedigm - New Video. The Artist Services initiative is made possible by The Bertha Foundation. These deals were brokered via pro bono legal services generously provided by law firm O'Melveny & Myers LLP, which has built the legal framework for the Artist Services program and participating filmmakers since its inception.

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) Now that the federal government shutdown is over we're learning that Wisconsin cheese production lost ground in August. Newly-released U-S-D-A figures show that the Badger State produced almost 233-million pounds of cheese during the month. That's down3-percent from the same time a year ago, while national production was rising at a 3.9-percent clip.
Wisconsin remains the nation's top cheese-maker, as second-place California made 42-million pounds less than in Wisconsin in August. The Golden State pumped out 191-million pounds, up by 6.2-percent from the year before. The other states in the Top-Five also had increases -- third-place Idaho, fourth-place New York, and fifth-place New Mexico.
Wisconsin made more Italian cheeses in August, but the state's Cheddar-and-American cheese both had decreases.

Facebook co-founder celebrates two grand achievements by making his company public and marrying longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan.
By Natasha Chandel
Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg
Photo: Priscilla Chan/ Facebook
Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has had quite a week! Not only is he now worth a cool $19 billion after the Facebook IPO, but he also got hitched to long-time girlfriend, Dr. Priscilla Chan, in an intimate wedding on Saturday. Of course, the announcement became official when Zuckerberg changed his Facebook status to "married" and uploaded a wedding picture of the young couple.
Facebook became a public company on Friday in the second largest IPO in financial history, with shares selling at $38 each.
If that wasn't enough pressure for a week, Zuckerberg took the big plunge when he swapped out his signature hoodie and jeans for a dark blue suit and tie for his surprise nuptials with Priscilla Chan, his girlfriend of nine years. The couple met at Harvard, when Zuckerberg was still developing his infamous social network, and have been an item ever since.
Despite Zuckerberg's rockstar status with fans and users alike, the technology mogul has led a significantly low-key life. His weekend ceremony included approximately 100 guests, including family and friends, none of whom had any idea they were attending a wedding. They were invited under the pretense of a graduation party for Chan, who also had an eventful week after graduating from medical school. Once everyone had gathered, it was announced the couple was finally tying the knot.
According to reports, Zuckerberg designed a simple ruby ring for his lady love, who looked elegant and chic in a vintage-inspired lace gown. Guests dined on the couple's favorite foods, including mouse-shaped chocolates — a treat the couple shared on their first date.
Share your well-wishes for Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan in the comments!

Earnings scorecard: Staples
Demand for office products is closely tied to the health of the economy, which is showing no sign of revival.
Staples (SPLS) unveiled its third-quarter results on Nov. 15. The quarterly earnings of 47 cents a share came in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate and jumped 14.6% from 41 cents earned a year earlier.
Total sales of $6.57 billion were up .5% from the prior-year quarter but below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $6.7 billion. North American delivery sales grew 1.8%, North American retail sales inched up .5% but international sales contracted 1.9%.
Gross profit for the quarter inched up 1.6% to $1.83 billion, whereas gross margin expanded 30 basis points to 27.9%. Adjusted operating profit increased 1.9% to $533.2 million, whereas operating margin expanded 11 basis points to 8.1%.
Agreement of estimate revisions
In the last week, 10 out of 14 analysts covering the stock lowered their estimates, and none raised them for the fourth quarter of 2011. For the first quarter of 2012, two analysts raised their estimates with only one making a downward revision.
For fiscal 2011 and 2012, seven and 11 analysts, respectively, moved their estimates down, with none revising the same upward in the last week.
Magnitude of estimate revisions
The magnitude of estimate revisions by the analysts is clearly reflected through changes in the Zacks Consensus Estimates.
The Zacks Consensus Estimates moved down by 3 cents to 41 cents for the fourth quarter of 2011, but remained constant at 32 cents for the first quarter of 2012, in the last seven days.
For fiscal 2011 and 2012, the Zacks Consensus Estimates dropped 3 cents to $1.38 and 5 cents to $1.52, respectively, in the last seven days.
What drives estimate revisions
Clearly, a negative sentiment is palpable among analysts, who remain pessimistic on the company's performance. Following the earnings release, the Zacks Consensus Estimates have been falling with the analysts remaining bearish on the stock.
The demand for office products is closely tied to the health of the economy, which is showing no sign of revival. Further, the sluggish performance by the company's international segment that prompted Staples to trim its fiscal 2011 earnings outlook also compelled the analysts. Although management stood by earlier sales guidance, expecting an increase in the low single digits, that was not enough to provide an impetus to the analysts.
Staples now projects fourth quarter earnings of between 39 cents and 43 cents a share. The analysts have a consensus on 41 cents, which lies at the middle of the guidance range. Management forecasts sales to remain flat or increase in low single digits for the fourth quarter.
Moving forward
The future remains uncertain but efforts to battle the tough economy are obvious. Business budgets are tight, consumers remain more watchful than ever before and companies are trying hard to navigate through the challenging environment.
Staples remains well positioned to sustain its growth based on its margin expansion, effective merchandising, and growth prospects across its retail, delivery and international divisions. It is also making prudent investments in the highly fragmented North American retail market to expand its business technology, and copy and print services that generate higher profit margins.
However, consumers and small businesses remain frugal about big-ticket spending on items such as business machines and other durable products. Counting the pulse of the economy, we prefer to maintain our long-term neutral rating on the stock. Moreover, Staples, which competes with Office Depot (ODP) and OfficeMax (OMX), holds a Zacks No. 3 Rank that translates into a short-term hold rating and correlates with our long-term view.
About Earnings Estimate Scorecard
Len Zacks, who holds a doctorate in mathematics from MIT, proved more than 30 years ago that earnings estimate revisions are the most powerful force impacting stock prices. He turned this groundbreaking discovery into two of the most celebrated stock rating systems in use today: the Zacks Rank for stock trading in a one-to-three month time horizon and the Zacks Recommendation for long-term investing (6+ months).

A Little More Spring On Your Neck—Erm, Step!
Spring has popped up quite suddenly and brightly across most of the US and with the surge of heat beaming on our skin it's only natural that we are jonesin' for what will be the hottest Spring trends and the perfect accessory.
I've always been a scarf girl and when it comes to winter, I rarely go anywhere without my infinity scarf in tow—since the weather has changed its tune, I'm ready to update my look and share my favorite stylin' techniques so you can find the perfect spring knot to complete your look:
Like the season, everything has gotten a little brighter—and with that said, so will your accessories—opt for a more whimsical shade when selecting your scarf and remember, unlike the necessary weight of a winter one, this scarf will be more partial to different knots.
What I also love about the sheer material of these pieces is how many different places you can wear them—use it as headband and you've embodied the perfect vintage ensemble; add another layer to your dress and secure one with a high waisted belt to add some more flavor to a look. With so many patterns in your grasp, the possibilities are endless.
Not wanting to totally dress up while you're running errands? Spring scarves will be your partner in crime all season because they add an extra layer of fab while also helping to dress up a plain white tee and pair of skinny jeans. Keep an open mind when it comes to knots and play around with a few depending on your mood and personality—you'll find yourself planning an entire outfit around one scarf soon enough! :)

How To Make Your Own Cake Stands
Nothing says party like a cake stand.
But cooks with small kitchens don't always have room to store the spindly stands. (We keep our two tiered glass cake stand from Crate and Barrel in a box in the top of the closet on top of the Christmas decorations.)
Here's a crafty solution from the editors at Martha Stewart Living: make your own cake stands out of leftover party supplies. The current issue of Good Things for Kids shares the step-by-step instructions on how to use party cups, two sizes of paper plates, and crepe paper to make these festive cake stands.
Get your glue guns ready, people.
5 Comments
I've always used that "earthquake" putty and put a plate onto an upside down vase. Looks like a cake stand and works like a cake stand, so it must *be* a cake stand.
You just have to make sure that both pieces are shaped in a way to make it stable.
Whoa. Surely disaster would ensue once the moisture of the cake soaked through the flimsy paper plate and cup? I know we are green and all, but I would only try this with plastic and an angel food cake or something similarly light and fluffy. Nothing with frosting at all.
My solution when I was faced with a storage issue was to go multipurpose via the Anchor Hocking domed cake stand you can buy for $10 at the big box home stores. If you invert both parts, it becomes a punch bowl (or a massive trifle dish!). The box also had a picture with the bottom inverted with cocktail sauce in the hollow pedestal and shrimp surrounding it on the base, but they were kinda reaching by that point.
Yeah, I wonder how the outer edge can support all the cupcakes, since it's only paper holding it up? Looooove Martha, but maybe this is designed for quick pick-up of cupcakes at the party?
A disaster waiting to happen.

The Senate version of the climate bill, updated from the version passed by the House back in June, will be released on Thursday, but a draft has been made available ahead of time. While similar to drugs tramadol the www.velikibrat.us House version, it takes a more aggressive stance on greenhouse gas reductions.
The latest version of the bill calls for a 20 percent cut in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020, where the earlier version called for a 17 percent cut by 2020, but the goal of an 83 percent reduction in emissions by 2050 remains the same.
Another major change is that it allows the EPA to factor in GHG emissions when considering biofuel-related land use changes, while the House version didn't allow emissions to be considered for the first six years.
Some changes other changes that should appeal to the opposition include more support for new nuclear power and cheap levitra 50mg protections for utilities to keep costs in check for emissions permits.
The new draft is 801 pages long and an abridged version is available for download here. All reports have indicated it faces an uphill fight in the http://www.guenstige-versicherungen-online.de/order-cialis-pill Senate.

Katherine Jackson has pulled the plug on her campaign to solicit money from Michael Jackson fans to pay for an MJ documentary ...TMZ has learned. The question -- Where did the money go?
TMZ broke the story last week ... Katherine -- along with Paris, Blanket and Prince -- made an online plea to Michael's fans to contribute money so she could license songs and images from the MJ Estate for a documentary she wanted to make.
We made it clear in our story ... the whole thing reeked of a scam, because the Estate was never contacted about licensing anything for Katherine's documentary and based on what we know ... there's no chance in the world the Estate would sign off on the project for any amount of money.
And here's what's really suspicious ... The website Katherine used allows her to keep the funds if the project is never made ... money contributed by MJ fans.
So almost immediately after we posted our story ... Katherine and/or her people pulled the plug on the project.
A source close to Katherine tells TMZ ... he's been told every cent of the money raised was refunded and Katherine got nothing ... but we can't confirm it.
Katherine's lawyer, Perry Sanders, tells TMZ Katherine wants to do a documentary and she "fully anticipates the executors will see the artistic honesty of this project and help make [it] successful." She shouldn't hold her breath.
Here's the deal ... Katherine Jackson is fundamentally a good woman with good intentions, but it's apparent she is often manipulated by people with bad intentions and that's what happened here.
oh yeah , right...she is being manipulated
it smells more like she is manipulating M.J 's fans
The Jackson family are sick ass holes, quit trying to make money off of your dead sibling/ son. As for his brothers, GET A F.CKING JOB LOSERS.
When is too much ... ENOUGH ?
That women has no backbone.
Joe must have beat that out of her too.
The estate makes $150 mill a year Really, you need money to what? Show us Mikes few moments he was awake and not on that junk? We've seen the posturing it won't change the fact that he was a junkie that was willing to risk dying and leaving his kids than to get help for his addiction to knock out drugs.
She NEVER asked money from fans, it's Howard Weizman who did it without her agreement.
Every time greedy unnatural mother Katherine is involved in some scam she is "so manipulated", she should have to learn by now, but it just seems she will never learn. It's that Katherine just loves money too much and can't resist when they propose her anything to get more money!!! It's only her greed that motivates her, just as the other scams and her all for money trial in which "so lovingly" involved Michael Jackson's children, no matter how hard it was to them and even wants a new trial!!! She is as greedy as the people she attends, anything for money!!!
She would never ask Mickael's fans for money. She's not that kind of a person.
Artistic honesty??? Yeah right. Wonder if anyone fell for that BS & send in money? If they did, they deserve to lose their money if they fell for that crap. Rich people begging for money, that's a shame.
Who is Michael Jackson ??? I can't remember…..
Ah, the Jackson clan, I just love their money grubbing shena****ns.
Ha ha, the Jackson version of Crowd funding!
With such a family, everybody would need a Propofool overdose to sleep without nightmares . . .
Good God,throw this greedy old hag in jail where she belongs & make it Conrad Murray's old cell.
?? Michael Who ??

My voice=
God, can I hold your hand and go with you?
Gods voice~
My sweet child, it is I who will walk with you now! You walked down my path with and without faith. You took my protection to ease your pain. My shielded wings comfort you during your moments of suffering while your life staggered across the earth... Your love and devotion is what made you strong. Every time your dreams were broken. You managed to build more dreams in their place. You called my name during your happiest and saddest moments. You always ran up to me when you fell behind. Your secrets became our private talks. The key to your heart was always unlocked. I was there during your trials and troubles of tribulations. We could not speak, but it was my light that would not allow you to get weak.
My voice=
Is this that dream of beauty? The one in the book my preacher spoke of.
Yes! I remember it now it is called paradise. I felt this company once before, Lord.
Many times, I have forsaken this light, and still it never left my door.
I felt it the day I was born, and the day I became baptized in your holy name.
I felt this light before, can you explain it some more?
Lord pleases clarify that day I fell down to my knees and accepted Jesus as my savior?
Every day since, I felt as if you stood away and walked on by, allowing me to face my own failures'. Was my life a waste in this impossible world?"
Gods voice~
My child, this is the everlasting light you will feel every time your body is re-born onto a new road. This light never left you.
My sweet child did you not listen, Matthew *19:26* MY SON looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with ME all things are possible. My child you were not searching for the right answers.
My voice=
My Lord everyone told me if I prayed you would come. Did I not pray right?
Gods voice~
My child sometimes your heart asked for more than life itself, which left questions for someone else.
At times how could I answer when you shunned heaven away from your eyes?
The obvious question is whether this is the final immersing of your souls disguises.
My voice=
Lord, I have other questions to ask.
What should I expect out of my personal sins? My testimonial sits in the palm of your hand.
My mind and my heart's inner core have been wicked since my adolescence days.
How is it that I am in your promise land?
Gods voice~
Getting right with me has brought you here!
My voice=
One more question My Heavenly Father.
Can I see her? I meant, could I see them? My Daughter, Mother's and Sisters~
A child of four suffers recurring dreams,
disturbing parents and siblings with screams.
When she awoke, always sore in one knee;
next to a birthmark, it throbbed painfully.
Night after night she feared going to bed.
What caused these nightmares that raged in her head?
Even when grown, the torment persisted,
so a therapist's aid she enlisted.
"Hypnosis," said he, "might offer some clues.
Why not try it? You've just bad dreams to lose."
Once under, he guided her to a room --
here people's lifetimes in books were entombed.
"Find one that is yours," her counselor said.
Quickly she did, but before it was read,
she felt an ache, saw just a faint title.
The words, she thought, said "Alister Bridle."
The hypnotic trance now suddenly broke;
puzzling questions "Mr. Bridle" evoked.
For many years she thought that was her name;
perhaps a past life had been filled with pain.
Who was this man? She simply had to know!
Seasons passed, summer suns made way for snow.
In Florida now, 1998,
she thought all the nightmares she had escaped.
But strange dreams always catch us by surprise --
when the lights grow dim, our minds fantasize.
Cloaked in velvet, she left her parents' farm,
stealing away on a late autumn morn'.
To meet her love, she climbed on the carriage,
knowing her folks would forbid their marriage.
Warm-hued leaves carpeted the hillside road,
and her pulse beat fast; she'd soon join her beau.
She thought only of him; joy cast its smile,
but that's when he called, "Alice, the bridle!"
The leather band broke and wrapped 'round her knee.
To the ground she was pulled; her horse ran free.
She met death, but past-life dreams recycle,
and she'd never been "Alister Bridle."
*Based on real events I experienced.
A dark tunnel under the streets of Beijing
A mother tries to wake her child from his bed of newspaper
She looks frail and lost
He looks hungry and weak
My brother and I, well fed and healthy
Watch this scene with the itch of tears starting to form
We look at each other in the shame of being blessed
And without a word, we walk up to her, emptying our pockets on the way
She recoils at first, and I can't help but think of a beaten dog
My composure wants to fail
I want to cry
Instead, I give her the brightest and most gentle smile I can muster
We hold out our hands, wishing we could do more for them
She looks at it, and quickly looks back at us ... in shock ... or suspicion
We nod, and she takes the 500 RMB, enough to feed them for quite some time
It's all we had on us, and anything less would have insulted our purpose there
Few things are as great, as giving til' it hurts ... giving all
Looking at the ground, she takes our hands and kisses them
She's crying, and doesn't want to look at us
I duck down so she has to look at me, and she does
I kiss her hand like she did mine and smile at her again
She smiles back ... and it is a thing of pure beauty
The whole world couldn't buy the memory of that smile from me
We came out of the other side of the tunnel ... penniless ...
The richest men alive
undeniable as dawn and dusk upon the still horizon
as tulips reincarnate in bright hues on blue grass gardens
so is the scent that lingered in the folds of your leather coat
as it catches wind on someone else's skin….so wrong….
familiar…just like my breathing….obsession in the air
aching like a thorn in my heart it bleeds a refrain of pain
remembrance should be buried in the earth where you lay
yet it haunts me still and taunts my soul in turmoil (indelible)
like midnight slaw mangled in a bowl of noose and weeping
somewhere you slumber (buried asleep) as my throat chokes
I still miss your laughter when that cologne hit's a June breeze
if I close my eyes I still see your crooked grin in mid day sun
as tangible as wisps of smoke my fingers reach your smile
I toss the solemn words "I miss you" on the lakeside silence
I will see you again….this I know….and the scent assails
always like footprints dried in concrete….forever with me
*R.I.P my friend…..
Inspired by Sir Brian's contest "Indelible Impressions"
You were beautiful,
my tiny child,
wrapped tightly in my arms,
close to my heart.
I listened to you breathing.
I counted your fingers
and your toes.
you cried out to me
and I loved you
with every ounce of my soul.
Will you hear me
when I cry out?
Will you hold me close
as I held you then?
I remember the day
You took your first step.
There was no stopping you.
Your feet gave you freedom
to explore the world
like never before
but danger lurked.
I opened those doors anyway,
and introduced
you to the world.
Where will you be
when my legs
no longer run?
no longer work?
Will you realize
that I love
freedom too?
I laugh
about that day
you first tied your shoe.
We tried and tried
to get that rabbit
in that hole
and you finally did it.
You pointed your toes
for everyone to see
how proud you were.
I am proud too,
of my writing
and my drawing,
of my needlework
and my cooking.
But my hands are beginning to ache
and my fingers will not bend.
I will lose the things
that make me proud
except for you.
Hopefully not you.
Will you let me
brag on you?
Even tell wild stories
that are a bit beyond the truth?
Will you be proud of me too?
I waved good-bye
that morning when you left
on that large, yellow bus.
I was so scared.
I know you were too.
You waved at me bravely
through the dusty window
but I saw the water
forming in your eyes.
You came home, however,
full of pride and joy.
You sang the alphabet song
and got most of it right.
You practiced for hours
until you could sing it
even in your sleep.
I'm afraid.
I forgot
whether I took
my pills today or not.
I forgot
if I told this story before.
I even forgot once
who you were
and it terrified me.
My mind
is my treasure
the only thing I have left,
and I heard you make
fun of me
for not remembering
that I gave you the
same gift as last year.
Will you love me
when I no longer
know who I am?
You came home blushing
from the glow of
your first kiss.
Your first love,
the one you thought was real.
You talked about him non-stop.
You changed for him. You gave.
But he left you anyway
for a blue-eyed girl
and I held you
while you cried for him.
I too have a
broken heart.
The love of my life
left me after
fifty-six years.
He left me here
to live life on my own
while he moved on
to another realm
And I cry for him too.
I long for his shoulder
and strong embrace.
I feel betrayed
because he and I
made a deal
that we would never
leave the other alone.
Yet I am alone
sitting in an echoing house
with no hands to hold.
You welcomed her home today-
your tiny baby girl.
She has your eyes
and possibly your toes.
I see you counting them
as they roll me
into the room.
You finally came
to visit.
It has been a while.
You look up at me
with tears in your eyes
and ask
almost desperately,
"Will she tie my
when I get old? "
and she said
Yesterday,I lived for thoughts and dreams
but today I live in my daughter's happiness
All my goals I left behind to watch her reach her own
All my friends I do not see,to stay with her at home
Money might get tight,but what is money
compared to pure joy of a child
What is money compared to her almond eyes
Success lies dormant on shelves for years to come
But what is success compared to first giggles
to first steps, first mouthfuls and her little grabs
Compared to gurgles and babbles
to first time she calls me mama
and hold on to my hands
What is beauty in the world compared to a pearl
This innocent child,a coloured coral petite pretty girl
Yesterday,I lived for thoughts and dreams
But today I live in my daughter's happiness
I had my days of wine and chocolate eclaires
roses on doorstep,unsigned love letters
with spiced cologne and enticing words
Today I live in my daughter's shadow
To watch her live her own dream
I watch her bloom in autumn gardens
from princess of hearts become queen
Tomorrow I will not be here
She might not get to see the white of my hair
the wrinkle in my smile
But,today she knows I love her
long more after petals wither
long more after a mother's hug fades
long after I shine from the sky.
Dedicated to my beloved Christina with love
Happy first birthday wrapped with barney hugs
and Winnie the pooh kisses :-$:-|B-)
excavate my fervent soul
with your familiar hands
(determination gets you everywhere)
stripped down to just my skin
in this sultry summer night
moon shining provocative…..bright
entwined limbs in midnights swelter
architecture of this flaming hanker
you must stoke this slow red simmer
I assure you that I blaze
with just the right erotic touch
I become a vixen
trace those fingers down my spine
those lips a naked search
beyond the present sunset
to this hearts clandestine perch
(buried profound but beating)
inside a cave of safety
if you will only reach it
patience is a virtue
I am only just a slave
held captive by your binding
to your Adonis body
I am helpless as a hostage….
my master….I await….trembling
for that final surrender
you can render me helpless my love….
and leave me barely breathing…
On cold evenings
Surrounded by friends
Warm and
I could stay up forever
Taking strength
From the blackness
Feeling that I could float upward
And walk with the stars
On their lonely journey
Through heaven.
There was a girl
I was with then
And beautiful
When I first saw her
I wanted to feel her softness
Her breathe on my cheek
Her hand
Brushing against my thigh
When I held her close
And even closer
I wanted her
To say she loved me.
Our love
Had a perfect balance
Teasing and challenge
And seduction.
A subtle change
That I never understood
Came about
The closer we became
The more anger
And resentment followed
When she smiled I was envious
When I laughed she was angry
We broke up
We were young
It was my fault
Her fault
Our fault
Or blame it on the times we lived in.
Outside my room
Footsteps echo
In a long and empty hallway
And like an undeliverable letter
A message scrawled
To no one in particular
Haunting visions are
Returned to me
The slenderness of her waist
The way she arched her back
The touch of her hand
The way she kissed
I feel her presence
Yes, I relive all that.
In-between sleep and wakefulness,
when my dream still lingers,
entwining free-flown fingers
with the morning rays, dancing across my eyelids.
It is in this state of in-between layers
that my inner-eye blinks its prayers,
and I can move backwards
through all of my many memories
until about the age of three -
the time when my imagination was truly free.
When I was three,
there wasn't one God for me to believe in.
There were thousands of Gods and Goddesses
hiding inside of each and every living thing:
Deities in the woods and wind.
Deities hiding beneath the surface
of our goldfish pond,
water nymphs kissing the feet
of the Lady in the lake.
One of my most vivid memories as a toddler,
was the day I caught a huge, black cricket.
My Father seemed shocked at the size of my catch,
punched holes into the lid of a mason jar
for me to keep the cricket inside of.
He had never seen such an enormous cricket before.
I was so proud.
I remember looking into its mysterious eyes,
believing for some strange reason,
that a loved one, was now inside of this creature.
Such strange thoughts for a three year-old to have.
But at the time, I truly believed in this.
This was sort of my first inner awakening.
My inner-eye was beginning to speye.
The first night with my cricket,
I listened to its hypnotic song,
and realized it sounded similar to the music
that the old Chinese lady listened to, down the street.
This was sort of my second inner awakening.
I didn't know about the Dao back then;
or maybe I just didn't know the labels?
But I did know how I was altering the destiny
of this creature....altering my own being.
The next day, my Father made me release the cricket.
He did not want it to die,
for it was the biggest cricket he had ever seen.
That was still the most proud I had ever been.
Reluctantly, I opened the jar,
waited an eternity for the escape.
That night I swore that I could hear
a distinct "Chiiiiiiirrrrrup" much louder than the rest.
This was sort of my third inner awakening -
my inner-eye, beginning to speye....
....just as I am awakening now,
the morning rays dancing across my eyelids.
The blackberry's love for the garden rose
Brought down the gardener's wrath.
The blackberry sensed the danger
As he wended the garden path.
" A love so true as mine", he sighed,
"Must dare to brave the hoe.
Just a few more feet to reach her,
My true love she must know."
He crept along so quietly,
Sometimes quite out of sight
Until he nudged his darling's feet.
Did he dare to trust the light?
He heard the gardener's heavy boot
And hid in craven shame.
He knew he'd soon be weeded out,
A seedling with no name.
"Have I no worth since I don't rate
Some Latin nomenclature?
Without a well known parentage
Am I a freak of nature?
His darling's line was long and pure,
No skeletons in her past.
He had to make his feelings known.
Those boots were treading fast.
Gently then he wrapped his vine
Around his loved one's spine.
In great amazement he opined,
"Her thorns are sharp as mine".
The sweet rose felt his tender touch
And realized his fear
And wondered at his bravery
In coming to her here.
She heard the swishing of the hoe,
She heard those nearing feet.
Quietly letting down her leaves
In a manner so discreet
She covered her wild lover.
The gardener unaware,
Stopped but to view her beauty.
He saw naught hiding there.
She whispered, "You are safe now".
The blackberry's heart was light,
Thankful that his dear sweet rose
Had not exposed his plight.
"A rose is still a rose." she said,
"By any other name
And in our distant ancestry,
We share some of the same".
"I'd rather know your wild love,
Than a love that's dull and tame,"
Cuddling close, returned his kiss
Without a bit of shame.
Next season there were seedlings
Of a very different kind.
The gardener delighted, cried
"A horticultural find."
The moral of this story?
Things aren't always what they seem.
The love you look down on today,
Could be tomorrow's dream.

By Molly Murphy MacGregor
We are proud to announce that Margaret Zierdt is the recipient of the National Women's History Project's 2006 "Writing Women Back into History Award". This Award is made annually to an individual who has shown extraordinary devotion to recognizing the history of women's accomplishments in the U.S. through research, writing, promotion, and active participation in women's history organizations. This year's award winner is retired elementary school teacher Margaret Zierdt of Maryland. Ms. Zierdt has been active as a writer, researcher, teacher and librarian and has consistently focused her attention on the role and condition of women throughout history.
Mr. Robert P. J. Cooney, Jr., author of "Winning the Vote: The Triumph of the American Woman Suffrage Movement," the recipient of the 2005 award, presented this year's honor in Little Rock, Arkansas, on October 21, 2006. As Mr. Cooney noted in his remarks as he presented the award, "This year's honoree was a school teacher, as so many notable women have been in our history, and are today. In addition, she has championed forgotten and little known women, and set as her own personal goal, 'writing women into history' years before the National Women's History Project was organized. Many have read and referred to the results of her research without knowing she was the one responsible for the work."
Ms. Zierdt is the author and creator of the Celebrate Women poster which identifies the birthdays of notable women for each day of the year (often listing more than one). This poster, which has been distributed in the thousands, is now in its third revised publication. It is important to note that Margaret did her original research not only before women's history was seen as an important topic, but long before the internet could have helped with her research.
Her knowledge, intellectual curiosity, and respect for the extraordinary work, courage, tenacity and boldness of women's lives have made women's history one of the great passions of her life. She is steadfast in making women's achievements visible. She is a generous donor to women's history and to progressive organizations in Maryland and throughout the country.
Although theoretically retired, Ms. Zierdt has been a key part of the NWHP . She has continued to research and write for the Project and has expanded the Project's educational and outreach work. She has also has given critically needed and widely appreciated spiritual and financial support. Serving on the NWHP Board of Directors, she is deeply respected and loved by those of us who get to share her work and her company.
Her life and dedication epitomizes the importance of "writing women back into history."

Fourie hails WP discipline
Western Province captain Deon Fourie hailed his side's discipline after they secured their place in the Currie Cup final with a 33-16 victory over the Golden Lions in Cape Town on Saturday.
Despite having hooker Scarra Ntubeni sent to the sin bin late in the match for a dangerous tackle, Fourie identified his side's improved discipline and patience when under severe pressure from the Lions in the first half - especially in the scrums - as the main reason for their victory.
The defending champions have been criticised in the past for losing crucial play-off matches.
But they held their nerve against a well-drilled Lions side and thanks to first-half tries from Gio Aplon and Demetri Catrakilis, and accurate goal-kicking from the latter and replacement fly-half Kurt Coleman, they will host the Sharks at Newlands next weekend in a repeat of last year's final.
"We stayed disciplined in our structure and we believed if we play like we must play, the points will come," said Fourie after the semi-final.
"We showed today that if we do what is expected of us the points will come and I'm very happy in that regard.
"We must just build on that because next weekend will be like a Test match and you can't make mistakes."
Fourie admitted that the Lions had them under the cosh in the scrums during the opening half but was pleased with the way his front-row of Ntubeni, Steven Kitshoff and Pat Cilliers stood up to the challenge.
"They put us on the back-foot in the scrums, especially CJ (Van der Linde) who is a veteran, who used all his experience in the beginning," he added.
"But the guys showed maturity which was a good thing to see from a young front row and that's a big positive for us."
WP coach Allister Coetzee echoed Fourie's sentiments.
"We were unsettled in the early scrums as they (the Lions) got the hit going and worked nicely through that," he said.
"But fortunately we got it right in the end."
Coetzee feels his side can still improve ahead of the final.
"There's still a lot of work to be done," he added.
"It's not going to be easy. It's still a play-off game It's a final and we've got to get it right in terms of accuracy and discipline."
Lions skipper Derick Minnie felt his side let themselves down by not taking advantage of their opportunities.
"This is a very good Province side but we didn't do what we were supposed and couldn't finish in the attacking half and that cost us the game," he said.
The Johannesburg-based outfit's coach Johan Ackermann believes his side could have done much better but praised them for Saturday's performance and their efforts throughout the season.
"We really had (great) opportunities in that first half, and it would have been interesting if we could have finished it and for the first time put real pressure on Province," he said.
"But then we had those soft moments, where we missed tackles and they got their momentum back.
"So we had to play catch-up and against Province that's always going to be tough and in the second half they just built on their lead with those penalties.
"It was a bridge to far for us but I'm proud of the guys for the way they fought in this match and during the year and I'm very proud of the guys."

The Federal Government offers several resources on parity and other issues related to access to care. Two recommended studies conducted with SAMHSA support include:
For the full text of the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, visit the Library of Congress THOMAS site at http://Thomas.loc.gov. Search for "HR 1424."
THOMAS provides several options for finding bills, resolutions, and legislative histories from 1973 to the present.
Advocacy groups and other organizations have voiced their reactions to the passage of the parity law. Read the comments below, and then send us your thoughts.
"Research shows that physical health is directly connected to emotional health and millions of Americans know that suffering from a mental health disorder can be as frightening and debilitating as any major physical health disorder. It's our hope that passage of this bill will force our health care system to finally start treating the whole person, both mind and body."
— Katherine Nordal, Ph.D., Executive Director for Professional Practice
American Psychological Association
"Millions of Americans will now be assured greater access to mental and behavioral health coverage while continuing to benefit from the innovative programs health plans have developed to promote high-quality, evidence-based care."
— Karen Ignani, President and Chief Executive Officer
America's Health Insurance Plans
"With approval of this bill, we will tear down the walls of stigma and discrimination and open the doors to the power and promise of treatment and recovery. It recognizes that mental health disorders are every bit as debilitating, and just as treatable, as cancer and diabetes."
— David Shern, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer
Mental Health America
"For 20 years, the National Alliance on Mental Illness has fought for health insurance parity laws to ensure that employer health plans offer equitable coverage for medical illnesses such as major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and severe anxiety disorders. This historic legislation is a victory for millions of Americans living with mental illnesses who face unfair discrimination in co-payments, doctor's visits, and hospital stays."
— Michael J. Fitzpatrick, Executive Director
National Alliance on Mental Illness
"The passage of parity is historic. It is a major milestone on the long road to ensuring that mental illnesses and addictions are treated on par with other health conditions."

The activist investor signs up banks and institutional investors to help him finance his bid to buy Dell, according to a report from Reuters.
Jefferies analyst Peter Misek also says an iPhone 5S and low-cost iPhone will likely launch in the calendar third quarter, followed by an iPhone 6 in the first quarter.

People like you [AngryDeli] need to get off your little pedestals.
The least you could do is pull your head out of your ass and at least give people respect, man.
If the music's not your style or taste, that's one thing, but don't be an ass about it.
Where you people get your high and mighty attitudes I will never know.

I am a fan of the type of confidence that is humble; a quiet strength that needs no announcement.
Confidence comes from following a path in step with your passion. Confidence comes from true belief in oneself and one's work. You know what you are building is powerful–you continue down that path even in the face of skepticism.
Whether you are a female entrepreneur or working your way up the corporate ladder in your job, confidence is essential to moving forward.
Confidence is a funny thing. Some of the most seemingly confident people are actually quite insecure, but have become very good at managing their own fears. While physically looking the part can help, true confidence comes from the inside. It comes from your core. And unshakable confidence is something developed over time (for most of us).
Below are five tips that will help you boost your confidence and help prepare you for any situation.
Five Results-Proven Tips for Female Confidence Building
1. Whisper sweet nothings to yourself. We talk about empathy in the business world, but what about empathy toward ourSELVES? I encourage you to talk to yourself the way you talk to your favorite pet. How do you react when your pet falls down? Do you swear at your pet? Probably not. That being said, you should be as gentle with yourself as you are with your pet. Or think about how you would talk to a best friend if she were to fall down. It is said that what you believe will eventually come true. If you believe you aren't enough you won't go as far. This is true because if you think you aren't enough you won't push yourself as far as you would if you thought you could achieve anything. You won't go for that opportunity, job or guy you think you really deserve. It starts with how you talk to yourself. I want to hear sweet nothings ladies! I want to hear self love from the roof tops!
2. Prepare, prepare, prepare. Confidence comes from preparation. Albert Einstein once said, "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." Let's use surfing as an example. If you've never surfed before, and you take your board out and you can't stand up–of course your confidence will take a hit. But if you practice on the beach for a while before you go out there, and study up with some other surfers, your confidence levels will improve. You know you've got some tools in your surfer belt to be successful. Get it? Make it easier on yourself by heading out to the waves with the right amount of preparation.
3. Move. I honestly don't know where I would be without the ability to sweat. Probably on a curb somewhere. Every single day I wake up and go move my body. It gets my chemicals flowing and puts me in a positive place. While I try and abstain from talking about exercise on Facebook, the truth is it's a really important part of my day. I run with my dog Athena constantly. Running is a great way to get rid of toxic energy. Additionally you get some of the best ideas when you're running. Take your dog if you can. If you hate to run (like my boyfriend does) I don't care if it's aerobics, jumping on your bed, or kung-fu–get out of bed and get moving. You will notice how much better you feel about yourself.
4. Follow your passion. When you focus on the aspect of your job that you love you're enthusiasm will clearly shine through. If you don't love anything about your job, you should probably quit. Life is too short. When you talk about why you love what you do, and why it's personally meaningful, people around you start to light up too. That said even if taking out the trash is your favorite part of your job, find one thing that lights you up and talk about it. People are attracted to other people who are lit up!
5. Everything you do, do your best. Do you know people who try hard at everything they do? Some people call this a Type A personality or a perfectionist. I have been called a Type A before, although in no way do I see myself as that. I just can't stomach the idea of not trying. Trust me there are days when I feel that way and I have to talk myself into trying (harder). We all hate to lose, and winning comes from truly applying your focus to everything you do. You've got one chance. Make it count!
What can you add to this list? What helps make you feel confident? Please feel free to comment below and share with me.

How my hoarder family saved Christmas
In the aftermath of one Christmas past, my extended family took a radical step in the direction of less stuff.
This post comes from Max Wong at partner blog Wise Bread.
Hoarding runs in my family. The only reason most of our homes don't reflect the OCD chaos of our brains is because we manage our belongings with the ferocity that most people reserve for calorie counting and fantasy football leagues.
While none of my relatives live in squalor, as my cousin Carolyn puts it, "In our family, we file things horizontally." We are all wannabe minimalists with messy desktops.
Although we joke about becoming crazy dog ladies or building a maze made of old National Geographic magazines in the living room, we all worry that one day we will fall victim to our belongings. So, after looking with mortification at the packed garbage cans stuffed with the aftermath of Christmas 2001, my extended family took a radical step in the direction of less stuff: We agreed to stop giving Christmas gifts to each other. Even to the kids.
This decision had several unintended consequences, all of them good.
We regained other celebrations.
Last year, 38.9% of Americans started shopping for Christmas in October, a statistic that is entirely believable to anyone who has noticed Christmas decorations jostling for shelf space with Halloween costumes at stores across the country.
In addition to gaining more time and money for Halloween and Thanksgiving, we found that family birthdays in December and January suddenly got the attention they deserved. My grandmother, who was born on Dec. 28, told me she never had a real birthday. Sandwiched between Christmas and New Year's Eve, her birthday had always been an important holiday travel day for friends and family.
My youngest cousin's birthday is in the first week of January, so she was pleased that her birthday became a special day instead of just an afterthought to the December holidays. While Christmas presents were verboten, birthday presents were not. She quickly decided that the additional two weeks she had to wait to get "the toy of the year" were worth the extra attention.
On a side note, people who hear about our no-Christmas-gift policy seem to worry that the kids in my family are somehow suffering from Scrooge levels of deprivation, which was something we actually worried about the first year. However, there are several gigantic loopholes in the no-gift rule.
First, while the kids don't receive gifts from the family, they do get Christmas gifts from their friends. Secondly, everyone still gets a stocking full of candy on Christmas morning. Most importantly, during their winter break from school, the kids are allowed to ignore bedtime, sleep in as late as they want, eat dessert for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and watch television with impunity.
We had anticipated that there would be a lot of griping from the under-14 camp, but to their credit, I can't remember one instance where any of my younger cousins complained about their lack of Christmas gifts. Perhaps they've been secretly pouting all these years, but I suspect that they prefer the additional freedom in lieu of opening a few more presents on Christmas morning.
It allowed us to be smarter shoppers.
Removed from the mass hysteria that is now part of Christmas shopping, we were able to shop after-Christmas sales without a deadline, but with all the post-holiday consumer reports.
Because the kids got to play with the "must-have toys" at their friends' homes in the weeks after Christmas, their birthday present lists got shorter, not longer. Some things, they realized, just didn't hold up to the hype.
We saved a ton of money.
Last year, the average American shopper spent more than $700 just on Christmas gifts. While my family is pretty frugal, our combined savings still amount to several thousand dollars every year. Not spending money on gifts that go under the tree allowed us to spend money on family experiences like tickets to the zoo to see the Christmas lights.
Two years ago, our huge extended family went to Las Vegas for a reunion at Christmas, a trip that a lot of us would not have been able to afford had we spent the money on traditional gifts.
Also, after Christmas, the price of just about everything drops dramatically. An expensive Christmas gift suddenly becomes an affordable birthday or graduation gift on Dec. 26. When I got married this year, I know all the wedding gift cards from my relatives were purchased at a steep discount in January from gift card exchange sites like Plastic Jungle.
We retained our sanity.
Christmas shopping is stressful. A Consumer Reports survey from last year uncovered that 6% of Americans were still carrying Christmas debt from 2010 on their credit cards when they started shopping for Christmas 2011. British financial analysts estimate that one in three Britons will go into debt to pay for Christmas this year. Every January, credit counselors report a 25% spike in business as consumers come to grips with their holiday overspending.
I don't know one responsible person with debt who isn't haunted by it. We discovered how easy Christmas is to enjoy when there are no bad financial repercussions lurking around the corner.
Additionally, while giving and receiving gifts should be pleasurable, a lot of giving has become a kind of social currency, with the givers hoping that the cost of their gifts are accurately appraised, for their full value, by the receivers.
A lot of the pleasure of giving a gift is imagining the pleasure that it will bring the recipient. But people are often so stressed out by end-of-the-year deadlines that choosing gifts becomes more about efficiency and budgeting than about figuring out what will bring their loved ones the most joy. By removing the obligation of Christmas gifts, we were all able to delete a giant task from our end-of-year to-do lists, which was, frankly, a relief.
We saved a lot of time.
I can't speak for everyone, but for me, shopping -- even online shopping -- takes up a lot of time. Not shopping freed up time to enjoy other holiday activities like trimming the tree, baking 80 dozen cookies to give out to friends and neighbors, attending and hosting parties, caroling and looking at Christmas lights.
It allowed us to be generous.
What is the Christmas spirit about if not kindness to others? We now spend Christmas Day serving dinner to people who really need a nice meal, not sitting around the tree. We have the extra time and the extra money to help out local charities.
My great-aunt was a lifelong patron of the Dumb Friends League, aka the city pound. Every dog she'd ever owned was a rescue. One of our favorite holiday activities is taking toys and treats to the pound at Christmastime and spending the day petting all the dogs.
It gave us new holiday traditions to enjoy.
Like ex-smokers huffing on secondhand smoke, my cousin Carolyn and I still love to window-shop the day before Christmas and experience the apex of American consumerism. Only, instead of buying, we enjoy the vulgar splendor of the mall at Christmastime from the comfort of the Cinnabon.
This year my family will celebrate our 10th gift-free Christmas. What started as a strategy to keep our closets tidy ended up bringing us closer together with each other and our community. It's our own little Christmas miracle.

Our family started this tradition about 15 yrs ago, we decided most adults had everything they needed and most of what they wanted, so we opted to only do for the little children. Once the little children were no longer little, we directed our holiday dollars to buying Christmas gifts for children on the Angel Trees and now with the economy hitting seniors so badly, we buy for a couple of seniors on the Senior Angel Trees.
It is far more enjoyable to buy a gift knowing it will be truly treasured or needed than to buy Grandma another housecoat, or Dad another tie. We have the most fun decorating our tree, spending time with one another and cooking up a storm. We don't "skip Christmas" but we celebrate it in the most wonderful way of all, giving without need or expectation of receiving. Merry Christmas it is.

SUPERIOR, WI (WTAQ) - A man wanted in Minnesota was expected to be charged in Superior Friday afternoon, for allegedly trying to grab a police officer's gun as he was being apprehended.
Superior Police and Douglas County investigators spotted 39-year-old Todd Carter on Wednesday as he was entering a vehicle.
The Duluth News-Tribune said he was wanted since May for skipping out on a court appearance in a drug case in Carlton County Minnesota.
Police said they followed Carter to a parking lot, and he tried running away after the officers confronted him. They reported tackled Carter, and he got into a scuffle for about three minutes when he allegedly tried grabbing an officer's gun.
Once they subdued him, Carter was taken to a hospital for injuries suffered in the incident.

Charlene Cobbins spends time each summer launching rockets, building volcanoes, and studying rocks at Randolph College. A local middle school teacher, Cobbins welcomes the opportunity to view science instruction from the student's point of view. As she participates in Randolph's Science and Math Links: Research-Based Teaching Institute, she imagines how her students' faces will light up when she shares the same experiments in her own classes.
Randolph's 13-year-old program has been recognized locally, regionally, and statewide for its ability to improve science education. It has earned grants from the State Council for Higher Education for four years. And just this May, the program was one of only three teacher education programs in the state named a "Program that Works" by the Virginia Math and Science Coalition.
The institute is organized by Peggy Schimmoeller, a Randolph education professor, Peter Sheldon, a physics professor, and Tatiana Gilstrap, an environmental science professor. Their goal is to provide area teachers with the tools they need to teach science in a way that not only interests students but helps them understand and retain the knowledge. The end result, they hope, will be more students entering math and science fields.
"To make the most impact, we needed to start as early as possible to dispel the myths that 'science is hard,' or 'science is done by white males in lab coats,'" Sheldon said.
The institute focuses on inquiry-based teaching techniques with a heavy emphasis on hands-on learning. Participating teachers also spend a week practicing using the new instruction methods during a summer science camp at the local Jubilee Family Development Center.
"We strive to reach as many children as possible in a variety of settings," Schimmoeller said. "We want students and teachers to feel confident in their ability to do and to understand all areas of scientific investigation."
While the initiative strives to draw more students to the sciences, it also has positive repercussions in other areas of life, Schimmoeller said. "Scientific understanding allows our children to make informed decisions when they live, work, and vote in the future."
Randolph's program has resulted in higher test scores for students and has transformed the way participating teachers, like Cobbins, teach. Since first going through the program about four years ago, Cobbins has had her students conduct experiments such as measuring the porosity of soil from their own yards or probing yeast samples to see how they grow in different substances. These experiences are more effective than lectures, she said. "It gives the students ownership, and they love it."

Guys..i'm really excited for BD but i'm also really sad 'cause our jake will suffer...i love him and the idea of him suffering makes me wanna hit bella for being so stupid!
Is it worth it watch the movie knowing that will be sad for jacob??
What you guys think???
Should i just accept and watch the movie anyway or dont watch and make a fanfic of a better BD ?
Views: 28
i would watch the movie cuz at least jake will get renesmee, although in part 1 theres no ness in the trailer sooo yeah..
but i think you should make a fanfiction story, as long as you post it here 2!
I think you should watch the movie because even though he suffers you get see him in a great movie and like everyones been saying he gets Renessmee.
both i think
Do both ...
That's what I've been doing.
Things don't walways go the way we want it,so we make fanfics :)
But i'm DEFINATELY watching the movie !!!!!!!!!!
& my life will be over,when the movies end ;(
Jacob gets with Bellas daughter anyways, so give the movie a chance. Its fictional, not real life. And it's not like as if the character of Bella doesn't care for him. It just shows how someone can love 2 different people at the same time, and being torn between the two. It happens in life, except we don't turn into wolves or vampires.
