Coming from TTC after Miscarriage Board
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 05-23-2007 - 2:23pm
I have been on the TTC after miscarriage board, however, just found this message board which relates to me as well as I am 40 and TTC.
I miscarried about 2 weeks ago, first one. I really didn't expect that I would. I thought I would get pregnant and have a baby, never entertaining the thought of miscarriage. Didn't think it would happen to me. Found out I was pregnant right before my 40th birthday, and then miscarried at 12 weeks (found out through an ultrasound). It was devastating to have gone almost three months thinking I was pregant, and then to find out I wasn't (blighted ovum?). I was really worried about my "window of opportunity" due to being 40 years old. I heard much negativity about my age! Although my mother had me at age 44 (naturally).
My DH and I are like so many of you, with a full life enjoying travel, sports, camping etc etc. I never thought I wanted children, and then I met my DH close to 40 years of age. When I found out I was pregnant, I wasn't happy, I thought my full life was over...I couldn't have that glass of wine, go horseback riding...so on and so forth. Then after a while, I really wanted to have the baby, and realized that I could still do lots of stuff! Of course as I mentioned earlier I miscarried. My DH and I were both so sad. For a while, I kept thinking that it was me, and must have been my age. Everyone on the message board has been so supportive. I realized that I am not alone, and there are lots of women over 40 having babies. My mother was one of them when she had me at 44 years of age. I had the best childhood, she did so much with me.
I truly believe 40 is a great age to have a child. TTC again.
|Wed, 05-23-2007 - 3:11pm
There are many wonderful women on this board (as well as the Pregnant After 40 board, where there are sections for those of us 40 and over who're trying to conceive). I am so sorry for your tragic loss. Your story sounds a lot like mine... got married at 41, pregnant shortly thereafter and misarried. My third miscarriage was this past winter when I was 17 weeks along...We thought we were well past the safe period and told everyone...and then had to tell them a few days later that I had lost our baby boy. :-( I turned 45 last month and can feel the clock ticking loudly...
I will tell you that I have plenty of friends who had babies at your age (their firsts). And a dear friend had two miscarriage (all around 13 weeks) and then got pregnant at 43 and delivered a healthy gorgeous baby when she was almost 44.
You sound like a wonderful woman who had happily come to terms with being pregnant, even though it would've meant changing your lifestyle.
I wish you the best of luck in TTC again...Please be sure to get plenty of rest. Your body's been put through the wringer and deserves it!
|Wed, 05-23-2007 - 3:23pm
Yes, it is wonderful to have this support. I can't imagine the pain you felt after thinking you had gotten to the safe period, and then telling everyone (We didn't tell anyone, so no one knew). I really do wish for you that conceive your #1....sending much luck your way!!!

Forget about the bright young things, this year's Strictly is all about the evergreen beauties.
And everyone's talking about the supposed rivalry which is heating up between two of the show's feistiest stars - Edwina Currie and Nancy Dell'Olio.
Former Conservative politician Edwina has laughed off the reports, however.
"I'm deeply flattered about the alleged rivalry between Nancy and me... she's gorgeous," said the 64-year old.
"But I am a mother and wife twice, a grandma and great-grandma, I think I should be the one that's envied."
Edwina says that like Ann Widdecombe last year, she and dance partner Vincent Simone will be bringing a touch of comedy to the table.
"There are some reversals of expectations going on and they will be quite funny," she said.

Roddy Piper
Real Name
Roderick Toombs
Date of Birth
April 17, 1954
Place of Birth
Shortly after he announced on Monday Night Raw that he was taking time off to have surgery, rumors sprung up that Daniel Bryan did a lot of damage to his neck by doing the flying headbutt off of the forklift on Kane at Extreme Rules 2014. Some within WWE are denying that by saying that the neck was damaged by years of working a stiff style on the independent wrestling circuit.
May 14, 2014
Another match being penciled in for Extreme Rules 2014 is Cody Rhodes vs Goldust. WWE has been planting the seeds of dissension between the real life brothers, and you can expect the story line to heat up over the next couple of weeks, leading to a pay per view match. Depending on how well the fans react to the feud, Goldust could be leaving WWE shortly afterwards.
May 11, 2014
Over the weekend, there were talks that Batista was leaving WWE after working the big six man tag team match at Extreme Rules 2014, but the two sides made an agreement, and the former world heavyweight champion ended up sticking around. He worked Monday Night Raw this week, and he even did a match at the Smackdown taping against Seth Rollins.
May 7, 2014
As many people saw on Monday Night Raw, the feud between John Cena and Bray Wyatt is set to continue, despite the two of them working matches at Wrestlemania 30 and Extreme Rules 2014. WWE is setting up a rematch at Payback 2014, which should more than likely be a gimmick match. There are also rumors that Cena and Wyatt will be battling one another after that pay per view as well.
May 6, 2014
Despite picking up a win over R Truth and Xavier Woods at Extreme Rules 2014, WWE is still choosing to remove Alexander Rusev from the Hulu broadcast of Monday Night Raw. The newcomer moved up the ladder a bit this week when he was allowed to squash Kofi Kingston, but WWE officials still do not view it as important enough for Hulu viewers.
May 6, 2014
While the performers avoided major injuries at Extreme Rules 2014, Rob Van Dam did get beat up a bit, thanks largely to his closing segment with Antonio Cesaro. The former world heavyweight champion suffered cuts and bruises to his face after crashing down on to a trash can while doing his signature Five Star Frog Splash finishing move.
May 5, 2014
Since Kane was booked so strong in defeat at Extreme Rules 2014, rumors immediately spread that the veteran was going to be receiving a rematch against Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship at Payback 2014. Those rumors may be proven to be true really quick, as management is said to be leaning towards doing a Buried Alive match between the two.
May 5, 2014
WWE has a long history of doing things on screen that are designed to capture the interest of the mainstream media. The company succeeded in doing just that at Extreme Rules 2014 with the use of Vladimir Putin on the screen. It was designed to generate heel heat for Alexander Rusev and Lana. The Washington Post actually wrote a brief piece about the segment, so word should be spreading soon.
May 5, 2014
A rather unusual chant was heard during the handicap match involving Alexander Rusev, Xavier Woods and R Truth during Extreme Rules 2014 last night. It has now been revealed that Sheamus appeared to have fallen asleep during the segment and a couple of members of the live audience caught him, so they started the chant to playfully mock the former world champion.
May 5, 2014
Those that watched Extreme Rules 2014 last night noticed a huge character change for Alexander Rusev. His manager Lana announced to the live audience that the big brute is now from Russia instead of Bulgaria. WWE also showed a picture of Russian president Vladimir Putin on the screen to generate further heel heat. Management wants to capitalize on the real life issues that the US currently has with Russia.
May 5, 2014
A picture of the mini announce team used by WWE at Extreme Rules 2014 during the WeeLC match between Hornswoggle and El Torito. The trio basically was a mock version of JBL, Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler, where they were respectively named JB Elf, Micro Cole and Jerry Smaller.
May 5, 2014
Over the last couple of weeks, Wade Barrett has picked up support from the audience thanks to his catchphrase. He also had a big fan backstage in Vince McMahon. Going into Extreme Rules 2014, the belief within WWE was that Barrett was all but guaranteed to win the IC title, especially since Big E Langston had very little to no momentum.
May 5, 2014
When WWE was scripting the finish to the big six man tag team match between the Shield and Evolution at Extreme Rules 2014, they wanted to give fans something to remember. They also wanted things to make sense. In order to clear the ring for Roman Reigns and Batista, someone came up with the idea for the remaining four guys to fight in the stands. In order to explain why they never went back to the ring, WWE had Seth Rollins hurling into Triple H, Randy Orton and Dean Ambrose from the balcony in the stands.
May 5, 2014
During the steel cage match at Extreme Rules 2014, John Cena came close to victory, but he was stopped from leaving the structure by a kid who sang in a distorted voice. Rumors going around right now is that he is the actual son of Bray Wyatt. There are talks that the kid could be utilized again on Monday Night Raw to further the story line between Wyatt and Cena.
May 5, 2014
While management has expressed some concerns backstage about the lackluster reactions that she has been receiving from the live audiences, WWE had no intentions of swapping the Divas Championship from Paige to Tamina Snuka at Extreme Rules 2014. Rumors have it that management is simply waiting for AJ Lee to return, so that she can work with Paige in a rematch feud.
May 5, 2014
At the end of the Extreme Rules 2014 main event, WWE fans witnessed Kane being put through a burning table, which he actually set up himself, by Daniel Bryan. Aside from giving Bryan a highlight, WWE also went with this route, in order to keep Kane strong in defeat. There are talks that a rematch could take place at Payback 2014.
May 5, 2014
The goal for WWE backstage this summer is to elevate Roman Reigns into a main event performer, so that he can be utilized in a high profile pay per view match against Triple H soon. At Extreme Rules 2014, WWE planted the seeds for that by having Reigns spearing and pinning Batista to get the victory for the Shield. The moment gave him some further credibility.
May 5, 2014
WWE wanted to have a really visually memorable moment for Daniel Bryan at Extreme Rules 2014, so the decision was made over the weekend to utilize a forklift backstage and in the arena. The heavyweight champion used the vehicle to cart Kane back to the ring. Bryan also used it as a platform for his flying headbutt finisher, which Kane kicked out of.
May 5, 2014
In a match filled with quite a few over the top spots, Daniel Bryan successfully retained the WWE Championship by defeating Kane at Extreme Rules 2014. A running knee followed by a pin enabled Bryan to get the pin fall victory over Kane. Prior to that spot, Kane was put through a burning table and carried on a forklift, among other things.
May 4, 2014
Since WWE needed a Divas Championship match at Extreme Rules 2014, Paige was given the victory over Tamina Snuka after delivering her submission finisher. The segment was short and quick, providing only a couple of spots outside the ring. It basically served as a pay per view buffer between the steel cage match and the world title match.
May 4, 2014
If there is a spotlight around, then Roddy Piper wants to be in it. The WWE legend watched Survivor Series 2014 last night, and he witnessed the debut of Sting. Sensing an opportunity, he told fans on Twitter that he would gladly work a tag team match with Sting against Hulk Hogan and a mystery partner. Piper also stated that he only needed seven weeks to be physically prepared for the bout.
November 24, 2014
Some very interesting news coming out of a wrestling convention in Charlotte last month. Jim Duggan revealed to fans in attendance that he and Roddy Piper were working on getting a reality television show for themselves. Quite a lofty goal for the WWE legends, as there probably is not a whole lot of network executives who are interested in such a show.
September 29, 2014
A new sitcom called Wrestling With Joeylicious, and as the name suggests, it is centered around the world of professional wrestling. The lead character clings on to his dreams by working at low level independent wrestling shows. Producers have managed to sign Roddy Piper, Mick Foley, Tito Santana and Jimmy Snuka to make an appearance on the show. They will each be portraying themselves.
September 25, 2014
Roddy Piper recently did a one man show, and he took that opportunity to bash Vince McMahon. The WWE legend pointed out that his longtime employer has failed miserably as a concert promoter, bodybuilding promoter and football promoter. Piper went on to say that McMahon has only succeeded as a promoter in the business that his father handed to him.
August 25, 2014
While doing a one man show in Scotland recently, Roddy Piper said something especially interesting to the audience. He told them that there was a movie in the works that will document his life and career as a professional wrestler. The WWE legend also claims that Mark Wahlberg, who is now one of the biggest movie stars on the planet, has signed on to portray him in the film. There has been no confirmation thus far from other sources.
July 24, 2014
The rocky relationship between Roddy Piper and Vince McMahon is apparently back on bad terms again. WWE officials are said to be quite upset with the former United States Heavyweight Champion for comments that he made about Legends House during promotional events. Piper, who is no stranger to backstage heat over the years, also made some derogatory comments towards Pat Patterson during a shoot interview recently.
May 30, 2014
July is going to be a rather busy month for Roddy Piper, as the WWE legend has now been booked for at least a dozen shows throughout Europe. These events are essentially a big group discussion between Piper and his fans. The former United States Heavyweight Champion will be telling stories and answering questions. Sting, Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels have done shows like these in Europe recently, and they were able to pack the house.
May 12, 2014
In what appears to be yet another attempt at grabbing some spotlight and pointing it his way, Roddy Piper revealed on Tuesday that Nancy Grace had invited him to appear on her controversial talk show to discuss professional wrestling. Piper asked WWE for permission through Twitter, but many in the industry are already aware that the company wants performers to avoid that show at all cost.
April 30, 2014
On their official website, WWE produced a list of the greatest talkers in the history of the business. The top five consisted of Ric Flair, Rock, Dusty Rhodes, Roddy Piper and Steve Austin. The more interesting inclusion, though, is CM Punk, who is listed at #16. The company has not made much mention of him since he walked away a couple of months ago.
April 25, 2014
It appears that the backstage heat between Kevin Nash and Roddy Piper, which erupted one night on Twitter, is over for the time being. The former WCW stars talked over the phone and hashed out their issues. While neither side is accepting full blame, they both have come to the conclusion that it is best to just move on from this.
April 23, 2014
Over the weekend, wrestling fans were witness to the long standing backstage heat between Kevin Nash and Roddy Piper, as Nash took to his Twitter account to unleash some harsh words towards Piper. It appears that Sean Waltman, whose friendship with Nash is widely known, is staying impartial and wants to keep the peace between the two guys.
April 22, 2014
"I love Roddy Piper and respect him. What I did was disrespectable. He was a legend. I was a raw Detroit guy. Wish it didn't happen. I fucked up. When you strike a man and see fear in his face at my size, you realize you're playing the bully. I was bullied as a 6'10, 212 pound 14 year old." - Kevin Nash apologizing to Roddy Piper
April 20, 2014
"Roddy Piper is a deranged old fool. He got bitch slapped to the floor. Hulk Hogan, Sean Waltman, Scott Hall and Eric Bischoff were in the room. Let it go, Rod. Pod cast invite?" - Kevin Nash telling a backstage story about Roddy Piper and mockingly asks for an invitation to do a podcast interview

A picture of AJ Lee wearing a costume that is supposed to be a homage to Roddy Piper. This was part of a special photo shoot by WWE to honor the legendary performers by having the divas doing a tribute to them.
April 14, 2014
After months of begging the company to be put on the pay per view, Roddy Piper has now been confirmed for a spot on Wrestlemania 30. He revealed through Twitter that there will be a limo involved and that it might be painted plaid. Piper also suggested that there might be some physical involvement in the segment with one of the WWE stars.
April 4, 2014
A video of the wild brawl that took place when Roddy Piper hosted his Piper's Pit segment on Monday Night Raw. The segment featured several WWE performers, including Big Show, Rey Mysterio, Miz, Sheamus and others who are set to compete in the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal at Wrestlemania 30.
April 2, 2014
Since the company wants to make full use of him being back, Hulk Hogan is expected to induct Mr T into the WWE Hall of Fame at Wrestlemania 30. Aside from their obvious connection, management also believes that this combination has the best chance of receiving some mainstream media attention for the event. Roddy Piper was a consideration as well.
April 2, 2014
A poster of the upcoming Legends House show, which is expected to be one of the centerpiece series on the new WWE Network. It features Jim Duggan, Tony Atlas, Pat Patterson, Howard Finkel, Jimmy Hart, Hillbilly Jim, Roddy Piper and Mean Gene Okerlund.
March 19, 2014
World Premier Wrestling is doing a huge independent wrestling show this weekend in New York City. The company has booked Jimmy Snuka, Crimson, Matt Striker, Nunzio, Matt Morgan, Roddy Piper, Angelina Love and Mickie James. The belief is that there will be some sort of segment involving Piper and Snuka during the evening.

High above Lake Geneva, in the Jura Mountains is a quiet, well surfaced road up to La Dole, a little mountain peak. This is a great climb that I did a few times a few years back.
Doreen joined me for this very steep ride. Unfortunately about half we up swarms of flies appeared making things a little miserable. I road up ahead and finished the climb and took an additional little road up to some Communication towers. Doreen hadn't been feeling that well, and given the flies I assumed that she had turned back. But after a quick drink, I start descending …. and like usually there she was, bravely persevering. Frankly, for once I was a little disappointed at her courage, as it meant I had to finish the climb again mobbed by flies.

Her quirky look in "Gangs Of Wasseypur" (GOW), where Huma Qureshi teamed her traditional outfits with aviators, has is said to have landed the actress an endorsement deal with a leading eyewear brand.
The actress is in talks to be the face of the eyewear brand's new range, though no further details have been revealed.
Her look in GOW was widely appreciated and soon became a rage among young girls to sport aviators with western as well as Indian outfits.

Because He's Hot: Robert Pattinson Flies Out of Sydney (PHOTOS)
Sorry, Aussies: Celebuzz Certified Dreamboat Robert Pattinson has officially left the Land Down Under.
The Twilight star was spotted taking his handsome mug (and guitar) out of Sydney as he caught a flight out of the Oz city this weekend. The star was in Australia along with Reese Witherspoon to promote their new film, Water for Elephants. The city of Sydney pulled out all the stops for Reese and Rob, even bringing a giant elephant to a press conference for the film.
In other Rob news, the British-born actor recently revealed that he used to pretend that he was friends with the Royal Family when he first moved to Los Angeles.
"It's very easy to convince people that you're a member of the Royal Family or know people [if you are British]," Rob explained on The Graham Norton Show last week. "I hadn't worked for three years -- I was unemployed in London -- and when people asked what I'd been doing, I told people I went to RADA with Prince William." (RADA being the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.)
"People would be like, 'Wonderful, you're English, I totally believe you'!"
Watch Rob's interview (and bonus interview with Reese!) below.
Check out more photos of Rob leaving Australia and sound off in the comments.

Youths transform Citroen into life-sized Transformer
Thursday, October 11, 2007 - 10:55am
Perhaps fed up with transformers that don't transform, three Chinese friends spent $8,000 and countless hours turning a yellow Citroen C2 into a surprisingly lifelike Transformer that they call the Autobot X2. It looks like Bumblebee and weighs over 1323 pounds. According to one source the trio's next project will be Optimus Prime. More pictures after the jump, plus a transforming Citroen commercial that may have inspired them.

State Senator Michael Connelly (R-Wheaton) is partnering with State Representative Jeanne Ives (R-Wheaton) on October 9 to hold a community forum on Senate Bill 16, a controversial education funding measure that will strip many suburban schools of their state financial support.
Connelly encouraged the public to attend the October 9 forum beginning at 7:00 PM in the Wheaton Warrenville South High School Auditorium, 1920 S. Wiesbrook Road in Wheaton.
read more...
A controversial proposal debated this spring in Springfield has been touted as "education funding reform," which sounds like a good idea until you realize that this "reform" measure will actually have a very negative effect on schools in the 21st District and the local taxpayers who support them.
Senate Bill 16 would dramatically change how state school dollars are allocated in Illinois, stripping suburban schools of most of their state support and redirecting those dollars to Chicago schools. Senator Connelly voted against Senate Bill 16, which passed by a 32-19-6 vote in the Senate, because it would cut more than $20 million for local school districts and the DuPage Regional Office of Education.

The 21st District includes all or part of the communities of Bloomingdale, Carol Stream, Lisle, Naperville, Warrenville, West Chicago, Winfield and Wheaton in DuPage and Will counties.

Advice from a Social Pro: How to Engage with Your Audience [VIDEO]
In this episode of "The Magic @ Ball of Social Media," we sit down with Tom Martin, Digital Marketing Strategist at Converse Digital and author of The Invisible Sale. Martin shares his perspective on how small businesses can engage with their community.
A key takeaway that Martin shares: One thing that a big business can never take away from a small business is the perception that they are small and intimate. Big businesses have a hard time obtaining that connection with their customers.

Call David at 816-463-4003
Question on new Singles
Hey all, quick question: do The Last Goodbye & Fade Into Me have hard copy singles? I ask because I'm looking to spend a little more time on my DC collection.
Here's my list of what I know exists (I have marked next to it if I dont own a copy, would buy CD/Records/Cassettes I dont have ) , if you know of anything that's missing PLEASE let me know!
David Cook:
Analog Heart (don't have)
David Cook
David Cook (Wal-Mart Edition)
Light On - Single
The Time Of My Life - Single (looking to pick one up off eBay soon....)
This Loud Morning (also have a seperate copy with the signed booklet through Wal-Mart when preordering online)
This Loud Morning Deluxe Edition
This Quiet Night (my name's in it too )
Incoherent with Desires to Move On - EP (I know MWK has more CD's, but to my knowledge this is the only one DC's in, I have heard that David helped write Anodyne too....but that's not enough to get me to buy a hard copy of Luna Despierta lol)
Matter Of Time (have this one! need all the rest though...lol)
The Story Thus Far
Alive In Tulsa
But anyway back to the original question, if you have a hard copy of either/both of The Last Goodbye & Fade Into Me, can you please post a few pics for me?
Thanks so much and have a great day!
mdclapps, I saw one of those little slotMusic players in a bookstore just before Christmas - surprised me - there may still be some floating around.
Good fortune with your collection.
I would have most likely laughed at that a few years ago, but now that I can't find it....it's not funny! lol
Again, thanks for the help!
slotMusic was short-lived format. It was basically a micro digital memory card that could be used in compatible mobile devices (cellphones, PDAs, portable computers). It came preloaded with the album and could also be used to save additional media, if desired.
FoolsApril64: thanks for the help on the Blindsided Limited Edition!
And I had the same feeling on the singles, but Wikipedia had it listed as having CD singles too, but at the same time, its Wikipedia....
And please explain more on the 'slot music version', I do consider myself a collector. Lol.
To my knowledge, The Last Goodbye and Fade Into Me were digital releases only (i.e., there are no radio promo CDs of which I'm aware).
Off the top of my head, you're missing Blindsided Limited Edition - a limited edition CD that was reportedly only distributed at live shows in Missouri September 12 & 13 of 2003. The CD includes all the tracks off of Blindsided, plus the bonus track "Still". There was also (if you're a collector) a slotMusic version of David Cook, the album that was available via Walmart for a limited time and, of course, there's a vinyl version of This Loud Morning available exclusively via DCO's shop.

Goldenvoice announced Sunday that it has purchased 280 acres of land in Indio, ensuring that the Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals will continue to be enjoyed by generations of girls in spirit hoods and dudes in speedos and fanny packs.
The purchase includes El Dorado Polo Club, which Goldenvoice has used for years as parking and camping space for the festivals. A statement released by the concert promoter also named three new, additional properties: one is owned by Glen Holden, polo enthusiast and former ambassador to Jamaica, and the two others, Fish Creek and Triangle Bar Farms, are both home to polo teams. The deal does not include the Empire Polo Club itself, where the festival itself has been held since 1999.
So...what does it all mean?
A Goldenvoice representative had no comment, but Indio mayor Glen Miller told The Desert Sun the sale gives Goldenvoice an opportunity to bring in three to four additional events a year, "such as a jazz and wine festival." Wine and jazz could be wishful thinking on the mayor's part though -- last year when Goldenvoice had the chance to add an event, the promoter hosted Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax.
Gary Bongiovanni, editor-in-chief of Pollstar, a trade publication that covers the live music industry agrees that the purchase suggests that that Goldenvoice could be looking to host more events on the site.
"They've been gradually investing in the infrastructure there," Bongiovanni says. When overhead costs are covered, it's easy for the promoter to add events. That's one of the reasons Stagecoach, Goldenvoice's country festival, was so successful when it was first held in 2007.
"They'd already done all the set-up work for Coachella -- the site was prepared. They modified it so it had more of a country theme to it but a lot of what you had to bring in was already going to be there," Bongiovanni says.
The purchase also demonstrates -- and to a certain extent, protects -- Goldenvoice's interests in Indio. In October, disputes with locals threatened to delay or block permits for both festivals. Residents of the neighboring community of La Quinta complained that the festivals attracted hordes of undesirables (at one city council meeting attendees were called "the people who destroy our environment") who, area residents said, were loud, polluted, trespassed on their property and rode their horses without permission.
Goldenvoice ultimately reached an agreement with locals that would extend both festivals for two years and allocate $2.33 per ticket to Indio. The fee could generate as much as $500,000 for the city on top of millions of dollars in revenue that the local economy reaps from the festivals every year. (Coachella and Stagecoach both sold out well in advance this year.)

The Philadelphia School District decided Friday to give schools access to $15 million starting Monday, based on expected savings from forcing teachers to contribute toward their health care premiums.
Since the School Reform Commission terminated its contract with the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers on Oct. 6, the District has been planning three disbursements totaling $44 million.
Until Friday, it was unclear when principals would have access to those funds. Principals were notified in mid-October what their school allocation would be, but the disbursement date was left up in the air after several legal challenges by the teachers' union, which is protesting the legality of the SRC's unilateral move.
Consistently ranked as one of the most "endangered" governors when it comes to reelection prospects, Keystone State Gov. Tom Corbett has consistently trailed Democrat Tom Wolf this year, and he is the only Republican governor whose race is now considered safely in the Democratic column, according to Real Clear Politics. (I wrote about Wolf's position on education funding earlier this year.) However, Corbett has closed the gap in recent months, and what was once a deficit of approximately 20 percentage points is now getting closer to single digits, as the Real Clear Politics polling average below shows:
The Notebook was launched in 1994 as a newspaper committed to ensuring quality and equity in Philadelphia public schools. We celebrated the 20th anniversary of the first publication this spring. We are featuring an article from our archives each week, shedding light on both the dramatic changes that have taken place in public education and the persistent issues facing Philadelphia's school system.

Following is an abridged version of a statement issued by the board of trustees and administrative leadership of the FACTS charter school.
Why we speak
As members of the Board of Trustees and the administrative leadership of the Folk Arts Cultural Treasures Charter School (FACTS), we wish to add our voice and our perspectives to this important discussion [about public education and the District's current funding crisis], speaking out of FACTS' experience as a public charter school now in its 10th year of existence.
FACTS began in specific response to educational needs of Asian immigrant children who were not being adequately served in Philadelphia by the public schools. It was founded by community residents deeply committed to public education who had struggled for many years previously on a number of fronts to remedy the overall lack of public resources in Chinatown, and in Asian communities more broadly.
High school seniors – and other interested students – in Philadelphia and the surrounding area will be able to meet with representatives from about 400 colleges and universities at the Philadelphia National College Fair on Sunday.
The fair, which will be held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., is sponsored by the National Association for College Admission Counseling and hosted by its Pennsylvania affiliate.
A teacher at South Philadelphia High School had a strange feeling about a female student who had been absent with increasing frequency last school year.
She told counselor Pierre LaRocco about it, and he was equally uneasy.
"I don't know why," he recalled. "But I knew that, for some reason, it was important for me to make a home visit."
He said he got to the girl's home around 11 a.m. and found her there with her mother, feeling depressed. So he took her to the Einstein Crisis Response Center at Germantown. According to LaRocco, during her interviews there, she said she had been planning to commit suicide that afternoon at precisely 2:15.

Philadelphia City Controller Alan Butkovitz has been studying charters in Philadelphia for a while now, looking into fraud and keeping tabs on the quality of School District oversight.
In his latest report, released Tuesday, he concludes that the way charters are funded is crippling the District's finances.
The Butkovitz report mostly goes over well-trod territory, but he comes up with a few facts and figures worth drawing attention to:
Lawyers for the School District and the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers traveled to Harrisburg on Monday for one of the legal skirmishes in the battle over whether the School Reform Commission has the power to nullify the union's labor contract and unilaterally change health benefits.
The session in Commonwealth Court before President Judge Dan Pellegrini was scheduled to start at 9:30 and lasted until 11 a.m. As of 7 p.m., there had been no ruling.
A new program at the Penn Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology allows Philadelphia 7th graders and their families to experience the wonders of ancient Egypt and Rome for free.
On Tuesday, the University of Pennsylvania launched "Unpacking the Past," a $2.2 million initiative that provides 7th-grade students in the School District of Philadelphia and schools run by KIPP and Mastery Charter schools with hands-on, curriculum-focused learning experiences using museum resources to make history come alive.
Like a broken record, for over two years the School Reform Commission has sounded the call for "shared sacrifice." The phrase provided the frame for its decision to break the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers' contract and impose what amounts to a huge wage cut. Their message has been: Everyone else has stepped up, and now teachers must do so.
But not everyone else has stepped up. Banks, corporations, and the mega-nonprofits in this city have not made sacrifices, nor has this body asked them to.
Let me be specific.

Dom Murray collapsed on the Farmingdale State College (FSC) basketball court during a game of pickup at age 17 in October of 2009. Murray fell unexpectedly in sudden cardiac arrest, a disease his father had also suffered and died from four years prior.
The student's name has been remembered by his friends and family through a fundraiser basketball game at least once a year at FSC ever since. Melinda Murray, who is the victim's mother and now the Dom Heart 21 foundation coordinator, believes that through this fundraiser her son will live on.
"With every person we get certified for CPR and AED, that gives my son's heart another beat," said Murray. The foundation raises money for a scholarship in remembrance of her son, for AEDs to be accessible throughout college campuses, and for AED and CPR certification classes to be readily available through St. Francis Hospital for people who are interested. Her goal is to reach 2,100 people certified, which symbolizes his sports number since childhood.
The family of Dom Murray believes that it is important for all players on any sports team to be tested for heart disease or malfunctions through both EKGs and stress tests every year.
Terrence Howard, a 22-year-old FSC graduate and Murray's cousin said, "So many people pass away from this and no one even realizes it. We have to be fair and give everyone a chance to get tested."
Howard also suffered some heart problems, threatening his being able to his last senior game. He passed his EKG, however, and was allowed to play in memory of his cousin. "I just miss him so much, wherever I was, Dom was," said Howard.
During sudden cardiac arrest, the first three to five minutes are crucial in saving the victim's life. FSC has taken the steps to adhere to that critical time period by placing AED signs around campus in indication of where the AED devices are located.
Some FSC basketball players have also taken the necessary steps in closing in on that time period, having been AED and CPR certified through the DOM HEART 21 foundation.
Christian Nunez, a 19-year-old sophomore who was a close friend of Murray's, stressed the importance of the certification.
"We need to prevent this from happening again. It is too easy to prevent," said Nunez.
In the fundraising game on Tuesday, Feb. 8, the Farmingdale Rams defeated the Old Westbury Panthers 87-70.
"We just play hard for him. That's all we can do," said Nunez.
The AED and CPR classes are given about once a month by the DOM HEART 21 foundation. Classes, other fundraisers, and sudden cardiac arrest awareness information can be found at the website www.DomHeart21.org.

FORT WAYNE – Ready and able. That's the state of mind and body as No. 6 Saint Francis faces No. 11 Baker University in the first round of the NAIA football playoffs Saturday.
The noon game at Bishop D'Arcy Stadium will be the first time the Cougars (8-2) have played Baker (8-2), a school from Baldwin City, Kan., that is making its first playoff appearance since 2008. As for Saint Francis, this will be its 32nd playoff game since coach Kevin Donley began the program in 1998.
Three times in three consecutive seasons – 2004-06 – the Cougars reached the national championship game and lost, each time going into the title game unbeaten.
This season, however, Saint Francis has fallen twice. It lost the third game of the season at home 15-14 when Saint Ambrose scored with 1:45 remaining, then converted the go-ahead two-point conversion. And it lost 45-38 on the road when Marian was ranked No. 1 in the NAIA and Saint Francis was wounded.
Because of the two losses, Donley thinks the spotlight has been taken off this year's Cougars.
I think we're under the radar, Donley says. Everybody's looking at Georgetown or (Missouri) Valley or Saint (Xavier) or Marian. There's no way we'll survive after the first round, according to the NAIA gurus of the world.
Like Saint Francis, Baker enters Saturday's game with a four-game winning streak.
Like Saint Francis, the Wildcats use a balanced offense, averaging 190.7 yards passing and 190.2 rushing.
They've got a couple outstanding running backs, Donley said. We'll find out how much our run defense has improved.
Baker running back Dillon Baxter, 5-foot-11, 210 pounds, not only averages 82.5 yards per game but enters with heady credentials since he once ran in the backfield for USC.
Quarterback Josh Miller, who sat out last week's 44-7 victory at Lindenwood-Belleville with a high ankle sprain, will play, as will leading tackler Taylor Brown, a defensive back who nursed a leg injury.
This group is really excited and anxious to play, Donley said. They're having fun.
Note: Donley was named co-coach of the year in the Mideast League, while seven Cougars were named first-team all-MEL. This is the eighth time Donley has been MSFA MEL Coach of the Year, the 16th time in 34 seasons as a head coach he has been chosen conference coach of the year.
USF first-team selections: Running backs, Antoin Campbell; receivers, Austin Coleman; linemen, Cam Edwards and Brice Darling; return specialist Austin Coleman; defensive backs, Taylor Brown and Kory Stamps; punter, Kollin Carman.

CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. - Summer is a critical time in southwest Florida when it comes to feeding families in need.
Hunger is at its worst during the warmer months. Just ahead of those months, WINK News partner The Charlotte Sun hosted a round table discussion on hunger.
As growing season ends, seasonal residents head north and schools let out for the summer, southwest Florida is bracing for an influx of need.
Local food banks say they've seen the problem getting worse in the past several years.
"(One factor has been) the economy, and reductions in funding for state programs and federal programs, like food stamp programs have been cut," said Mac Martin, a board member for the All Faiths Food Bank.
Food banks, like All Faiths and Harry Chapin, are launching springtime collection campaigns.
"One way folks can help is if they're going home for the winter, call the food bank -- either All Faiths Food Bank, or Harry Chapin Food Bank or whatever your local food pantry is, and tell them that you've got some extra canned food that you're willing to donate," Martin said.
Public schools also recognize the need to help the growing number of families who depend on free or reduced-price meals for their kids.
According to Terri Whitacre, the director of food and nutrition services for Charlotte County Schools, approximately two out of five students took advantage of need-based meal programs. Today, Whitacre said that number has risen to two out of three.
Charlotte County is one of many Florida school districts participating in summer meal programs.
"If you don't get what you need early in life, then you're stunted," said Will McWhirter, a nutrition specialist with Charlotte County Schools. "It's catch-up from there, which is usually impossible."
Any students, ages 5-18, can show up at a designated location during the summer and get a free meal.
"It's essential. I mean, we have to do it," McWhirter said. "Why would'nt we do it?"
For more information on summer meal programs for students, contact your local school district, or dial 211.

Patachitra, Folk Art of Orissa
Patachitra is the folk painting of Orissa which exhibit the use of strong lines and brilliant colors on religious themes
The patachitra, the folk painting of Orissa, has a history of great antiquity. The `Patachitra` paintings exhibit the use of strong line and brilliant colors. These are religious paintings which covers themes and events from Indian mythology and Puranas and mainly made on silk or on old cotton glued with paper. Patachitras are painted in a regular series like Dashavatar of Vishnu and activities of Lord Rama & Krishna etc. The Patachitra paintings have a basic resemblance to the old murals of Kalinga region dating back to 5th century B C. The best Patachitra paintings are found in and around Puri, especially in the village of Raghurajpur. The artists colony, known as Chitrakar Sahi, is in the vicinity of the local temple.
Art of Patachitra
Apart from the mythological stories, there are figures like a dancing girl or mother and child. The most popular patachitra paintings are the figures of Jagannath, the crowned God of Puri with Brother Balaram and Devi Subhadra. Many scenes are however from the life of Krishna, the fountain head of inexhaustible anecdotes of colour and excitement that people never tired of. Krishna`s dancing with gopis and playing of various pranks on his playmates charging the environment with an air of mischief are favourites.The eternal idol of Radha and Krishna set in a riot of exhilarating colours assail our eyes with vivid red, orange, yellow for the background and lapis lazuli for the sky, dark green for dense brooding trees, parrot green for the grass. Against this glowing background is blue figure of Krishna, and in pink purple, wheat and brown and a whole host of shades are Krishna`s playmates, touched off by gold and silver brushing. For an important occasion, there will be sumptuous elephants surrounded by mangal ghats (sacred vessels), gaily painted with trees, creepers, leaves, flowers, animals etc.
Procedure of Patachitra Painting
The folk paintings or patachitras the painting is done on cloth which the artists prepare themselves by coating it with a mixture of chalk and gum made from tamarind seeds to give the surface a leather like texture on which the artists paint with earth and stone colours. In Patachitra, painting is done by brushes with a mixture of clay and powder from a stone rich in iron - oxide, or by incising and cutting a pattern on the raw pottery using comb - like and knife like tools.
Artifacts on Patachitra
Paintings depict gods of the Hindu pantheon i.e. Radha & Krishna, legend and Jagannath.

A second bar anchors a rear space suitable for private dining, and delivery and catering are on the way. For now, new items like lobster Louie and a $115 seafood platter join a something-for-everyone assortment of big salads, macaroni and cheese, spaghetti and meatballs, Wednesdays fried chicken and potato waffles, Fridays lobster roll, and the somewhat subversive pairing of pork chop and Mamas old-fashioned latkes.

text: An obscure late 60s spy thriller starring Michael Caine – with a really dark soundtrack! Richard Rodney Bennett did a fair bit of jazz arranging in his time – and the score to this one mixes some dark dramatic bits with some lighter motifs that feature good work on woodwinds and percussion. The main theme has some nice floating piano over the top, and a few other tracks have a cool whistling suspense theme – but things also really change up a lot nicely, and the whole thing almost has an audio collage feel at times, with its sense of variety. Titles include "Love Scene", "Hoe Down", "Anya", "The Church", "Skidoo", "Ambush", "Car Chase", and "Billion Dollar Brain". (Original pressing!
