The first turning-point of this year's switchback campaign for the Democratic Party nomination was surely the moment when Hillary Clinton came close to tears on the eve of the New Hampshire primary. In a matter of seconds, she transformed herself in voters' perceptions from steely candidate to fragile female. According to the pollsters at the time, it delivered for her the women's vote that she had lost to Barack Obama in Iowa.
What was largely lost, both at the time and subsequently, was the actual question that had precipitated Mrs Clinton's show of emotion. "How," she had been asked by a woman of a very similar age, "do you keep so upbeat and so wonderful?" To which Mrs Clinton had replied: "It's not easy, and I could not do it if I just didn't passionately believe it was the right thing to do. This is very personal for me. It's not just political. It's not just public."
This exchange revealed at least as much about the Clinton campaign than any tear. It showed the degree of empathy for Hillary Clinton among women of her generation, just above and just below. You could see this from her public meetings. When Mrs Clinton's campaign was on a downturn, it was women of a certain age who stood by her and willed her on. If this campaign was personal for Mrs Clinton, it was personal for them, too.
Hillary's is the generation that reaped some of the benefits that the early feminists had fought for. Mrs Clinton recognised this: one of her first campaign trips, as would-be senator for New York, was to Seneca Falls in up-state New York which is regarded as the "cradle" of America's women's rights movement. The turnout for that visit was much higher than her team had anticipated – and the event was not even well publicised.
The compromises that Hillary Clinton made, willingly or not, and the early battles that she fought were compromises that were familiar to them. Her decision, as top of her year at Yale Law School, to follow her man to the provincial state of Arkansas, rather than pursuing a high-flying career as a Manhattan lawyer, was one of them.
Another was the grief she was given about her decision to keep her maiden name for professional purposes. She did her best to combine motherhood and her career, in a southern state where women then were expected to stay at home and hold tea-parties. She stuck by a wayward husband. The attention to her appearance when she became first lady and the difficulties she faced, as a woman with her own mind, in the White House mirrored the difficulties of a whole generation.
This core of Hillary supporters will, American pollsters say, be especially difficult for Barack Obama to win over. They may choose to abstain, or vote for John McCain, rather than support the man who narrowly beat the woman who had the best chance anyone has ever had of being the first female president. Becoming Obama's running mate could make matters worse, as it would confirm their fears – and, in many cases, their experience – that a woman is acceptable in a subordinate role, but not commander-in-chief.
It would be wrong to see this support for Hillary as uncritical support for a woman over a man. It stems to a large part from the belief that if Mrs Clinton – with all her money-raising capacity, extended network of contacts, and political experience (in the Senate as much as in the White House) – cannot win the nomination, then the prospects for a woman to become president are remote. Nancy Pellosi, the first woman Speaker of the House of Representatives, is 68. There are no senators or congresswomen today who come close to Mrs Clinton's combination of prominence and expertise. State governor might be a more realistic launch-pad for a woman presidential candidate, but fundraising without a Washington network would not be easy.
By showing that a woman can make a convincing campaigner at the presidential level, Mrs Clinton may have smoothed the path for a woman to win the nomination in the future. But if anyone is likely to benefit, it will be the daughters of the Hillary generation, who have watched their mothers' double disappointment.

It's been a long time I don't write anything here, that's because I'm working and studing in the same time and I have no time left. But in the next year I'll try to come over here more often :)
So I'm finishing my animation mini-reel for the first class in Animation Mentor. It's really a very good course and I really have fun with the exercises. I just wish I could had more time to dedicate myself to practice and learn much more. But that's ok, it's still worth it :)

In honor of the 100 Year Anniversary of Father's Day holiday in America, NPCL and other partner organizations have set out to make history. The plight of Fatherhood in America is at an all-time low, and millions of children across the country are suffering from shallow or non-existing relationships with their Fathers. On June 20th, 2009, Father's across the country will take a stand together for the future parents of America: OUR KIDS.
This summer, Father's across the nation will convene at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC prepared to take an oath of dedication to their children and families to be RESPONSIBLE. In the words of Fatherhood expert, Dr. Jeffery M. Johnson, "When you are a Father, you are a Father for LIFE." Transcending stereotypes, past mistakes and present fears, NPCL, Guest Speakers and Dad's across the nation strive to encourage responsible fatherhood throughout the U.S. in a powerful and unforgettable way!
LINCOLN MEMORIAL in Washington, DC
The Date is Available! However, an official confirmation that the event will be held at the Lincoln will not be made known until March 2, 2009. Check back with this site in March for a listing of Rally Chairs and Co-Chairs in your state!
The Lincoln Memorial in Washington is the pending location for the National Repsonsible Fatherhood Rally. However, not all who strive to attend will be able to travel to DC for this event. In states across the country, community members and Fatherhood organizations will convene to host a Local Fatherhood Rally within their state. Check back with this site in March 2009 for a listing of Rally Chairs and Co-Chairs in your state!

More Dads are getting Involved in the PTA
By Lisa Belkin
(Illustration by Barry Falls)
In 2009, for the first time in U.S. history, the parent in charge of the Parent Teacher Association will be a dad.
Charles J. Saylors will take office as president of the 5.5 million member organization in June, putting a further dent in the stereotype that has taken hold in recent years of moms who leave the workforce and devote their impressive — and sometimes excessive — energies to the PTA.
Men make up just 10 percent of the membership of the national PTA — which was founded 112 years ago as the "National Congress of Mothers." While that number is small, it is larger than it has ever been, and reflects a steady increase of about 1 percent in each of the past five years.
That growth is consistent with other evidence that men are becoming more involved in the schooling parts of their children's lives. A survey this year but the National Center of Fathering found that more dads report walking their kids to school, attending class events, helping with extracurriculars and talking about education with other fathers than in a similar study nine years ago. (If you go to their Web site, take a look at the Watch D.O.G.S program — Dads of Great Students — which is designed to bring fathers into the classroom and is being used in 800 schools in 30 states.)
And those changes, in turn, are partly the result of a concerted effort, on both the local and national level, to get fathers more involved. Two years ago the PTA polled 3,000 fathers in families where Mom was a member of the organization but Dad was not. Why hadn't they joined? Far and away the two most common answers were: 1) I don't have the time, and 2) nobody asked.
Addressing the time crunch "excuse," the PTA created a program called "Three for Me," which is a contractual agreement between the school and "the adult role model," Saylors, the new PTA president, says, for three hours of volunteer time over an entire school year. The point, he says, was to show men that they didn't have to give their lives over to the PTA in order to make a difference.
"When you dial it down to minutes, you're only talking 180 minutes," he says. "I ask them, 'How many of you can go to a movie, watch the movie and come back home in less than 180 minutes?' It's a light-bulb moment. It seems like a less than daunting task."
And it is a bet on the part of the school that those 180 minutes will lead to more. "If anybody goes into a school, for one hour, two hours, three hours," Saylors says, "they're going to come back."
In response to the second reason, the feeling that "no one invited us," the invitations started coming. The ones with the highest RSVP rate weren't from the PTA, or the school principal, or the classroom teacher, but from the children themselves. At the Monroe Trotter School in Dorchester, Mass., for instance, few fathers were coming to the "coffee hour" scheduled especially for dads, until the school renamed it a "Dads Club" and had children hand-print notes asking their father, uncle or other adult male in their life to come. Now upwards of 50 show up.
Why all this effort? Because it is good for children. They do better in school and in life when their fathers are involved. The National Household Education Survey by the US Department of Education found that:
Students whose fathers were highly involved at school were 43 percent more likely to receive As.
Children of highly involved resident fathers were 55 percent more likely to enjoy school than those with uninvolved fathers.
Students with nonresident fathers who participated in even one activity at school were 39 percent less likely to repeat a grade and 50 percent less likely to experience serious disciplinary problems.

The good fathers: African American filmgoers overjoyed at 'Happyness'
The good fathers: African American filmgoers overjoyed at 'Happyness'
From the Philadelphia Inquirer
By Dwayne Campbell
Inquirer Staff Writer
Entertainer and businessman Fatin Dantzler has long been a Will Smith fan, following the career of the Philadelphia megastar from hip-hop to television to big-budget movies such as Ali, Men in Black, and I, Robot.
But what Dantzler takes the most pride in is the actor's role in The Pursuit of Happyness, Smith's latest film, which opens today with heavy buzz, especially among African American fathers like Dantzler.
In the movie, Smith (nominated for an acting Golden Globe yesterday) isn't a superhero saving the world, but a man totally devoted to his son, an image that many black fathers say is seen in the media too infrequently.
"It's been a long time since a movie has touched me like this. I saw a lot of myself in him," said Dantzler, 33.
Dantzler, who is half of the R&B group Kindred the Family Soul, watched a screening of the film at the Ritz Five this week with his 7-year-old son, Aquil.
"Unfortunately, this isn't what we see most times," Dantzler said. "Art often depicts reality, and the reality Hollywood directors see is what most people see in the media, black men in negative roles. Good black fathers don't see themselves on the news."
The portrayal of African American men in the media has long been the subject of intense discussions: in scholarly journals, among the men themselves, and in the same news that's frequently lambasted for showing black men mainly in stereotypically negative roles such as criminals and deadbeat dads.
The talk took on new life this year with the release of books such as the Urban Institute's Black Males Left Behind, which cited statistics indicating that many African American men, unlike black women, were falling below basic education, employment and livable-income levels.
And Bill Cosby's 2004 indictment of some black fathers, whom he berated as men who "dropped the sperm cell" and then moved on, still drives much of the discussion on African American parenthood.
Such negative representations enrage fatherhood advocates, who note that, as in any race, good African American fathers exist in far larger numbers than poor ones.
The Pursuit of Happyness is based on the true story of Chris Gardner, a San Francisco man who overcame a plethora of obstacles (loss of money and home while juggling an intense stockbrokerage internship) to find success for himself and his son (portrayed by Smith's son Jaden Christopher Syre Smith). Here, it's the mother (played by Thandie Newton) who buckles under the pressure and walks away.
"The good images are hard to find," said Kofi Asante, director of the Philadelphia Comprehensive Center for Fathers, a resource center. "Most of what we see are shows of brute force with mack daddies or drug dealers. We are scholars, we are musicians, we are teachers... . We are in every position that's vital to the American existence, and more of that needs to be shown."
Christopher Bracey, an associate professor of law and African and African American Studies at Washington University in St. Louis, says the film appears to have struck a chord, prompting numerous Internet discussions about stereotypes, fatherhood, and black male experiences.
What the film does, Bracey says, is cinematically demonstrate black men's "capacity to be fully human - having caring, loving qualities most people take for granted. That's been the struggle from the beginning, to be accepted as fully human."
Experts say films have generally shown black characters serving as fathers to varying degrees, but around the time of the blaxploitation films in the early '70s, and later in the 1980s, there seemed to be many more negative roles.
"You began to see the black man who is irresponsible and who was coolly indifferent to fatherhood or outright hostile to the idea of fatherhood," said Marc Lamont Hill, a Temple University assistant professor of urban education.
"Alternately, what you'll see is a string of single mothers. It's a broader understanding of black men as oversexed, lazy, immoral. When you add this up the group doesn't equal good fatherhood and it allows us to condemn them."
And so, many black fathers are saying, Pursuit, with its big star and acknowledgment of the quiet majority of hardworking family men, comes at a good time.
Eric Stephens, 49, of Lansdale, liked the film's exploration of "corporate culture" as a window into how some African Americans exist as minorities in a demanding workplace, while maintaining a family structure at home.
Smith "didn't take his personal things to work, he was able to separate them out and get the job done," Stephens said. "And often you have to be three times as good, and he proved that he was."
Mel Carpenter, of West Oak Lane, said the film showed "how important education was. I'd like to see more of that."
Carpenter watched the movie with his son, Craig, 35, who called Pursuit a "rarity."
"There are plenty of black men that struggle, constant struggle, but there are many black men that contribute to their families, to their communities," Craig Carpenter said. "But that's not a story that's ever told."
That may be changing, some experts say. As a rebuttal to negative impressions of African American men (in news coverage of urban violence and in popular street-lit "baby daddy done me wrong" books), other recent publications and films have celebrated black fathers.
Though fatherhood may not be the central theme, many films, whether Love Jones or the 'hood flicks of the 1990s, have "redemptive representations of black fathers and black people in general," says Hill.
When Philadelphia lawyers Stephana I. Colbert and Valerie I. Harrison solicited submissions for their book Color Him Father: Stories of Love and Rediscovery of Black Men, they were inundated with positive stories.
"The hard part was in paring them down to 35," Colbert said of the book published in May. "All of us took away positive experiences from our fathers. The important piece was we didn't believe this was the exception."
A similar idea was behind the June launch of Proud Poppa, a North Plainfield, N.J.-based magazine with a mission to "celebrate, elevate and replicate fatherhood success principles in the black community."
"The Chris Gardner story is really a dramatic one, but there are countless stories about black men like Gardner that run under the radar," said Poppa publisher Shawn Dove, 44. "They may not go on to become millionaire stockbrokers, but they are at home being responsible fathers."

Something my Father Would Do: Overcoming Legacies of Family Violence
I'm posting the text of an e-mail from The Family Violence Prevention Fund promoting new materials including a documentary DVD, which includes snippets of an interview with MRI's executive director, Steven Botkin!
The video is thoughtful, informative, and hopefull. Please send your requests for free copies of the DVD and/or posters to: email@example.com.
The Family Violence Prevention Fund is proud to present new materials for engaging abusive fathers in renouncing their violence. The free materials include a series of posters and the documentary:
Something my Father Would Do
Overcoming Legacies of Family Violence
The 15-minute documentary, directed by John Badalament (All Men Are Sons), shows the stories of three men from different cultures who grew up with abusive fathers and had to grapple with their own choices as intimate partners and fathers.
Though originally designed for use in supervised visitation centers, it can be effectively utilized in batterers intervention and fatherhood groups, as well as in workshops and community meetings to discuss issues of family violence and fatherhood. Suggested questions to lead a discussion are included.
The three posters, in Spanish and English, invite fathers to think about their legacy to their children with engaging multi-cultural images and open-ended question, such as: You are a role model to your children. Is there anything you would like to change?
Please send your requests for free copies of the DVD and/or posters to: email@example.com

Dads and Daughters Success
The Dads and Daughters story below came as an email, and is ultimately a fundraising letter (nothing wrong with that). I thought it was a story worth sharing here (and if you want to contribute to Dads and Daughters...nothing wrong with that, too).
Our goal is to make the world safe and fair for daughters everywhere - and we'd like to share with you just one of our most recent successes in doing this.
Hasbro recently announced they would be marketing-to girls as young as six-a line of dolls based on The Pussycat Dolls, a six-woman music group that performs highly eroticized dance routines and songs.
Our online campaign made it easy and quick for parents to contact Hasbro executives and ask them to put their own young daughters' and granddaughters' faces in the picture. We asked a simple question: would they encourage the six-year-old girls they care about to play with such hypersexualized dolls? Not surprisingly, their answer was no.
Within only 2 days, Hasbro contacted DADs to let us know they were halting production of the dolls! They made the right decision for their families, our families, and the company. And everyone who participated in our action helped make the world a bit more safe and fair for our daughters.
Successes like this can happen only with your continued financial support. Please help us meet our fiscal year end goal (June 30) of $50,000 by donating today!

More Stay-At-Home Dads
The brief piece below at Rebel Dad highlights the difficulty in coming up with the near-actual number of stay-at-home dads - a number that, it seems to me, is increasing greatly. So why care about numbers? Well, the more stay-at-home dads counted, the more of a voice they can gain, and the more policies (such as flexible time) can be given to these fathers.

Daddy Wars
The assumption about fathers has been that they are either Stay-At-Home Dads or not involved at all - at least as the media covers them. And there has been a lot of press coverage about the difficulty mothers have with juggling work and motherhood. Well, with the Gen X men now becoming fathers, there has been a marked increase of father involvement and an increase in coverage of the difficulty men face in the same juggling contest.

Tips for Dads and Daughters Watching the Super Bowl Together
For the Big Game...
Tips for Dads and Daughters Watching the Super Bowl Together
Fathers and Daughters Watching Sports Together. The national advocacy nonprofit Dads & Daughters knows that this is one of life's greatest pleasures. But what about those awkward moments—say during a commercial—when you want to throw your hands across her eyes?
Here are some simple tips from Dads & Daughters for fathers and stepfathers watching Sunday's Super Bowl with their daughters.
1. First, spend part of the pre-game afternoon tossing a football around with her! A Dad who plays sports with his Daughter increases the odds that she'll grow up healthy and strong!
2. If she doesn't like to play catch, think of taking a walk together or a bike ride. Let her know that you enjoy being with her. The time together may give her an opportunity to talk with you and let you know what is going on in her life. Sometimes daughters see the interest and time their dads devote to sports and feel their dads don't care as much about them. Your attempts to connect with her on Super Bowl Sunday may counter that perception.
3. When watching the game, be aware that what your daughter sees and what you see may be entirely different. She may be struck by the cheerleaders, whose partially clothed bodies look so "perfect." Instead of enjoying the game, your daughter may be comparing her body to theirs and feeling inadequate.
4. Try to watch the broadcast through her eyes. Would any images or events look or feel different if you were watching as a girl vs. as a man? You might share these perceptions with her and ask her what she thinks.
5. If you see an ad or image that treats females negatively or objectifies them, change the station so you, your daughter, and your family don't have those images in your home. Remote control makes it very easy! Let her know why you decided to change the channel and ask for her feedback.
6. Compare the number and roles of female sports announcers and reporters to the number and role of male announcers and reporters. Talk with each other about what you think those numbers mean. Do they mean that your daughter "can't" be a big football fan? Could she be taken seriously as a sports announcer someday or should she eliminate this from her career aspirations?
7. Ask her which players and coaches she admires or sees as heroes. Tell her which ones you admire, and then share your reasons with each other.
8. When the game is over, talk about what you each thought were the crucial plays and the most exciting moments. Then ask her if she wants to do something special together next Sunday to keep these conversations rolling and to convince her that the most important man in her life takes her seriously and enjoys being with her.
9. Use the Super Bowl to become more media-literate and sensitive to your daughter's experience. Decide to pay more attention to how the media portrays women and girls. When you see an ad, imagine your daughter's face in it, and then reassess your reaction to it.

The article linked to below is an interesting look at how men who are "stay-at-home" or "work-at-home" dads have learned from women who have struggled with the work/parenting world and how women have learned from men, too. What I like about this article is how there seems to be a coalescence of men and women trying to negotiate how to put parenting first and work second - a much needed cultural shift. Here is an interesting stat to underline this point:
A survey by American Demographics revealed that 80 percent of male respondents ages 18 to 39 said a flexible job to accommodate kids takes a higher priority than doing challenging work or earning a high salary.

Moms, Dads, Working, and Parenting
The "conversations" in the media about women who leave the workforce to parent and men who leave the workforce to parent, usually focuses around the amount of women who gradute from elite colleges. Specifically, those that stay in the working world and those who leave to parent full-time (half stay at home). In the upcoming issue of American Prospect, there is a comprehensive article on this issue that includes the question - why don't more men stay at home?
Finally, in response, RebelDad writes on the November 28th entry of his blog - why don't we strive for shared parenting? Is it possible to turn the conversation in that direction?

Numbers of Stay-At-Home Dads Increases
Men learning that they have nurturing abilities - this is the great pay-off of the stay-at-home dad phenomenon. And, their numbers are increasing - 98,000 in 2003 to 147,000 in 2004, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's Current Population Survey. The article below gives a good overview of this recent shift in the U.S. culture. It also points out the perspective-shift of both fathers who full-time parent and mothers who work full-time.

Resource: Fatherhood Sites
A briefer entry, today...
Below is a link to a page from Parents Magazine that highlights some helpful websites on fatherhood. They all seem to be good resources, worth checking out if you are or about to become a father.

Attending A Baby Shower
Here you go for the weekend: a humorous essay by author Neal Pollack about a "couple's shower". My favorite reflection on fatherhood by Mr. Pollack is -
If you can get past the initial infant-as-vegetable stage, suddenly fatherhood becomes a permanent role-play in which you are either the monster or the monster's victim. Sometimes you are also a bear or a lion or a dinosaur, but the principle of the chase remains the same. If, like me, you have no actual skills to teach your children other than ranting at the news, you can at least come up with new ways to scare the hell out of them.

Can Father's Get Postpartum Depression?
Postpartum depression is a serious problem (despite what Tom Cruise may think). What can exacerbate the issue is the belief that the entire family should be glowing and happy after having a new baby. The reality is that there is a lot of happiness as well as stress, struggle, and adjustment. By denying feelings of depression, the problem can worsen. Now add the idea that men both aren't "supposed" to have feelings of vulnerability, nor be "like a woman" and have postpartum depression, and you have a potential crisis on your hands. As this article points out, postpartum depression is a family issue.

Masculinity is More Than Testosterone, Daddy
A recent article in Psychology Today looks at various pieces of research which shows that men undergo hormonal changes as they become fathers - including increases in estrogen. The research points to a number of naturally occurring factors that prime men for fatherhood. But, my favorite line is in the introduction to the article: if testosterone is the defining hormone of masculinity, it's time to redefine manhood.

The Funky Stork
My son was born a little over a year ago. During the entire pregnancy, I was searching for resources for expecting fathers, something that really spoke to me about my role in the pregnancy and how to prepare for fatherhood. My best resource, it turned out, was other fathers whom I respected. But it was still nice to find a few books and websites that helped in preparing me. The site linked below isn't one that I used, but it seems to compile some of the basic information that I gathered in other places. I still haven't found the "perfect" book or website resource for expecting fathers. Got any?

The View of Child-Support From the Other Side
Unless we ourselves are embroiled in a child-custody or child-support payment battle, we often only read about the statistics or the generalizations about these issues. Below is a link to the blog of a woman who is struggling with getting child-support payments and trying to understand the male's side of the issue. It's only one story, but if you read some (or all, if you have the time) of the comments that follow from readers, you get a good discussion of this difficult issue.

Reality TV Meets Stay-At-Home Fathers
I should have seen this coming - a reality TV series called Meet Mister Mom. The idea is to feature a family each week in which the father is suddenly plunked down in the "house-husband" role (Ooo, shocking!). The interesting thing about this is the timing of the show's premiere with all of the internet/blog buzz about stay-at-home-dads (now dubbed SAHD) which is also the focus of yesterday's posting on this site. It is fascinating how much the idea of a SAHD and the issues related to it cause such a controversy. There is the ongoing comment discussion at the site I referenced yesterday - Half-Changed World. There is the comment to yesterday's posting from someone in Nigeria (click on comments on August 4th's posting), and outspoken father's rights bullhorn Glenn Sacks' attempt to have "Meet Mister Mom" pulled from the airwaves by NBC (the link to his site should not, at all, be considered an endorsement).
Below is a review of "Meet Mister Mom".

Full-Time Father
I surf a lot of blogs about parenting (mostly because I am a relatively new father - one year, thank you). And, this article and the focus of this article, stay-at-home-dad Michael Paranzino, has generated a lot of discussion. Mr. Paranzino has become a mini-celebrity - showing up on CBS' Early Show yesterday morning. Everyone praises his being a stay-at-home-father. But it's his belief that as a stay-at-home-father, he should only focus on his children and not the house-work. This has brought on a lot of discussion and claims of sexism (since stay-at-home-moms were always expected to do house-work. And, why is it always women, whether they are the bread-winner or not, who are assigned house-work).
You can check-out the USA Today article linked below and you can check out some of the blog discussions at Rebel Dad (August 3rd and 4th posts)and at Half Changed World.

A Model Working-Father in a Not-So-Model Field
This is a great little article about a founding partner in a Boston law firm who is committed to spending time with his daughter. He and a small group of other lawyers are trying to change the culture of high-pay for greater load of work in the legal world. The key to this story is that this lawyer is the boss - and sets the tone for the rest of the firm. Frankly, if I were looking for a lawyer in the Boston area, I'd call them right away just from reading this article.

Worldwide - Fathers Are More Involved...And Oh Yeah, Why Men Have Nipples
A brief article that gives the results of a world-wide study on father involvement with their children. World-wide there has been substantial increases in various countries (U.S. fathers in the 90's were parenting 55% - 70% as much as mothers - up from 25% in the 60's). The "winner" of the best fathering culture - the AKA Pygmies from the Northern Congo. And, they use their nipples to sooth their babies. Well, this may answer the long-considered question - "what are they for?" but, let's see if that ignites a new trend amongst U.S. and European fathers...

I am excited to say I have another new bloggy friend, and I just Love her name `Jingle.`

What Love Is, Part 1June 3rd, 2016
The heart has its reasons that reason knows nothing of.
– Pascal
Love. What is it really?
"Love", within infidelity, isn't. Love in this context is an interpretation. It is an encounter between a person – the object of desire – and an experience – the passion of eros. It can leave one intoxicated with emotion that drives both decisions and behaviors in often inalterable ways. The result of this fusion is one of the most destructive mistakes a human can make. The Fundamental Attribution Error is when you confuse an experience with a person who just happens to be a part of the encounter. You believe you MUST have that person in order to have that experience.

STELLASTARR* frontman Shawn Christensen must have a doll of Brandon Flowers that he sticks pins in before he goes to bed every night.
Exactly two years to the night, Stellastarr* played a blinding gig at Academy 3. Supporting were none other than Brandon's mob, The Killers. To say that the fortunes of the bands have differed since is like saying Pete Doherty doesn't mind a puff on a pipe.
Whereas Flowers' ego as much as anything has ensured The Killers went massive, Stellastarr* have had to put up with the indignity of being usurped by the likes of The Bravery.
But the question begs, why? Why did Stellastarr* get left behind when arty, indie pop veered a left into the mainstream? They may rip off Pixies, but at least they had the good grace to do it before everyone decided it was cool to like them.
Whatever the reason, Stellastarr* have missed the boat, given contemplative new album Harmonies for the Haunted isn't a patch on 2003's eponymous debut. But at least in the live arena they remain as potent as ever.
Tighter, louder and more raucous than previous, Stellastarr* are thrilling from the start. It helps that the set for the most part eschews the new album in favour of the thrashy likes of No Weather and Pulp Song, both rattled out in record time with intensity and rancour that epitomises the band's current dissatisfaction.
But it also helps when you have a backbone of minor art-rock gems to fall back on. Somewhere Across Forever (the best tune Pixies didn't write) and Jenny (the best tune Pixies DID write) are classics in their own right, but even they are not as good as My Coco, which tonight proves itself to be as glorious a sing-along that anyone - The Killers included - has written in the last five years.
It's just a shame that in a world seemingly dominated by that lot from Sheffield, Stellastarr* look destined to be overlooked again.

Jacob Coker: University of Alabama Crimson Tide, 6:04.4-230
For Alabama fans, they have to be encouraged by what they're hearing, as most know that Nick Saban is a master at unearthing talent and getting the most out of his players. The quarterback has impressive size, standing just under 6-5 and at 230 pounds with 4.78-second speed. He is the prototypical pocket passer. The Florida State transfer might not have had the luxury of playing much in a pass-happy scheme where he is winging it all over the field, but he demonstrates the footwork, balance and body control driving back from center to be a true drop-back passer.
Coker demonstrates the ability to fire the ball out quickly, taking a three-step retreat to unleash short passes, as well as the mobility needed on play-action that easily allows him to throw on the move when flushed out of the pocket. He shows flashes of really being able to drive the ball into tight spots and gets the ball out quickly. He has more than enough arm strength to make throws off balance when on the move and derive power across his body when throwing to his left on intermediate range throws (drag routes and comebacks). The quarterback also shows good touch on the vertical and fade routes and has the arm and upside to develop into a quality deep-ball passer.
Nate Sudfeld: Indiana University Hoosiers, 6:04.2-232
Prediction: By the time the 2014 season ends, most analysts will recognize what The NFL Draft Report sees in Sudfeld – one of the best pure passers this draft class has to offer. He has impressive size and outstanding arm strength, along with a smooth and quick release. He has experience working under center, from the shotgun and in a multiple spread scheme.
He shows a lively arm, and even with average speed (4.86), he is efficient on the roll-out and can throw to his right and left with no loss in accuracy while on the move. He is not the type that will win any foot races if he is flushed out of the pocket, but he keeps his feet under him to make all the throws, showing good balance and body control stepping up in the pocket.
Sudfeld shows impressive overall touch, timing and accuracy. He puts very good velocity on the deep-out route and is very capable trying to fit the ball into tight spots. He also possesses a very smooth and relaxed throwing motion. He keeps the ball high while dropping back from center and shows a compact, quick delivery. His mechanics are very consistent, and he is a confident passer, standing tall stepping into his throws and is well-balanced, seeing the field well as he gets the ball out quickly under duress.
Andrew Manley: Eastern Illinois University Panthers, 6:02.5-225
Manley has good set-up fundamentals with adequate foot quickness to drive back from center and get to his pass point. He has an over-the-top release, but also displays a powerful arm, as he is not the type that needs to rear back when he puts extra oomph behind his long tosses.
Manley has also demonstrated the ability to be a functional touch passer, but when needed he shows confidence in his arm to know he has more than enough velocity to throw into windows. He plays with good football instincts and awareness, making good decisions with the ball when under pressure but is not fluid moving his feet and throwing on the move when flushed out of the pocket.
Manley stands tall in the pocket and keeps his eyes down field, showing the toughness to take shots and make throws when facing a fierce pass rush (better absorbing hits in the pocket rather than rolling out and executing the pass). He does a nice job of hitting his receivers in stride on underneath and intermediate routes, showing the touch and timing to get the ball into the receiver's hands without his target having to adjust.
Where Manley has shown the most improvement is with his ability to go through progressions and scan the field to locate his secondary receivers. He delivers the ball on time when firing long and those throws demonstrate good zip, especially with his ability to consistently connect on fades and streaks.
Jerry Lovelocke: Prairie View A&M University Panthers, 6:04.4-244
With 5.0-second speed, he is not really a fast ball-carrier, but he has valid foot quickness driving from under center and moves around the pocket quite well, getting to his pass-throwing point with good urgency. He possesses above-average throwing mechanics and you can see on game films that his motion is smooth, compact and quick, as he displays a loose and fluid arm.
Much like the Steelers' Ben Roethlisberger, Lovelocke has outstanding arm strength with good rotation and weight transfer unleashing the ball. He can rifle the intermediate tosses on a line and toss it deep with little effort. Even his off-balance attempts display good velocity. He has completed 65.33 percent of his passes as a sophomore and 66.43 percent in 2013, thanks to his ability to flash pinpoint accuracy.
Lovelocke continues to mature, as he stands tall under pressure and plays with quick reactions when the pocket is compromised. Even though he won't win too many foot races, his nine touchdowns on the ground last season are the result of his ability to lower his pads, keep his legs churning and power through arm tackles.

Oxidation of Fe–10Cr in O2 and in O2 + H2O environment at 600 °C: A microstructural investigation

Abstract Oxidation of Fe–10Cr in dry and wet O2 was studied at 600°C for up to 168h. Oxide microstructure was investigated by STEM/EDX, FIB/SEM and TEM. Oxidation in dry O2 gives a Cr-rich protective (Fe1−xCrx)2O3 scale. The same protective oxide initially forms in O2+H2O environment, but after an incubation period scale breakdown is triggered by CrO2(OH)2 evaporation that depletes the substrate in Cr and converts (Fe1−xCrx)2O3 to FeCr spinel oxide. Internal oxidation occurs after breakaway. Alternating external and internal oxidation result in the inward-growing scale showing a characteristic banded morphology.

In Sub-Saharan Africa, women are at a higher risk of contracting HIV than men according to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS). Unfortunately, there is very little research focused on the sub-population of married women in order to highlight how different risk factors affect them specifically and may place them at increased risk for HIV infection. This is especially important in the context of low condom use, childbearing and the trust inherent within marriage. A comprehensive literature review of peer reviewed articles from 1990-2005 was conducted and revealed that there is little known about the effect of marital status on HIV risk. The major factors in the transmission of HIV within marriage are low condom use, low educational attainment, migration as well as extramarital affairs. In order to further understand this population, data from the 2003 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey (2003 KDHS) was analyzed for this 2006 master's thesis project in Epidemiology.

©1976 Robert Graysmith; (P)2006 Blackstone Audiobooks
"Provocative....Bizarre....Graysmith's taut narrative brings the horror back with jolt upon jolt." (San Francisco Chronicle)
"Will fascinate true-crime readers." (Library Journal)
"Immersive Account, Excellent Narration"
I've always been fascinated by the story of the Zodiac and Graysmith's book lives up to its reputation as the definitive account of the notorious killer. His attention to detail is impressive and disturbing. You understand as the book moves along that solving this case was an obsession that consumed Graysmith.
The narration should be given some credit as well. The speaker has a dark tone of voice throughout that gives the story the disturbing yet clinical delivery it deserves. He gives specific voices very subtle changes in rhythm, so it never gets too melodramatic. Whenever he reads the actual letters from the Zodiac, he gives it the slow and detached delivery you would expect someone to give if they were reading it aloud. It makes it appropriate, but creepy.
"Chilling Read"
The author did a great job making me feel as if I traveled back in time to San Francisco during the murders.
I like that even though a suspect was never formally put in jail for this, there seemed to be some justice was given.
Yes, it was easy to tell the difference between the characters.
"learn to draw & catch killers"
ok.. so he is a cartoonist.. not a natural story teller.. but this is one hefty tale.. so for a person who is not a writter.. but was there in the midst of now historic mystery.. twas a grand effort.. for a book with no definative ending..tis quite satisfying
"Haunting. Don't hesitate, get it"
Yes, absolutely, in fact I have recommended it to several friends. It almost wants to make you start researching the story try to locate this guy. You might think that you know the story, but you dont.
Well, the most memorable part was the ending because it leaves you hanging. And there is no ending. I hope this isn't a spoiler for anyone, but this killer is either still out there or has died and we may never know who he is. That is memorable in a bad way for me.
They couldnt have picked a better performer for the book. His voice brings the right amount of edge to this book. His voice makes parts of the book a little scary.
maybe: "Why it still matters"
It is easy to listed to this book and make statements about it as if it was recently written, which is not a correct analysis of this book. In this book, Mr. Graysmith published his recollections of what was happening and how the whole story panned out the way it did. You can take out all the evidence that no longer matters because of recent findings, but it is important to learn why the detectives did what they did. Get the book, if you are a fan of the genre you will enjoy it.
"The truth is chilling"
bone chilling truth
The Zodiac he was lucky enough to not get caught.
the murder investigations were the best
To know that this person was able to escape justice scares me to death.
This book is written and told so well I would advise anyone to try this book I think they
would be frightened and enjoy the book at the same time.
"the full story of the zodiac murders"
i never read the print version. i wouldnt go on to the audio version if i had. why would anyone do that, when there is a whole world of other books to explore?
the memorable moments in this story are all to horrible to recall in detail.
his performance did not detract from the book, that is important.
i had seen the movie about this, way back when, so i was interested in the fuller version of events. and that is what i got, in this book. in that way it was very interesting to me. i felt it was well researched and explained. perhaps not up to the standards of ann rule, but one cant have everything.
"Very boring and monotone"
Story was very hard to follow and narrator was so monotone. Could not make it passed the third chapter
"I love the true crime stuff..."
No. This is not a reflection of the story I just don't listen to books twice that often.
I think that the presentation of the narrative was pretty good. The narrators voice matched the subject matter.
I like the part of the story where the zodiac got away from the cops after killing the guy in the taxi cab. CHILLING. This is a close second to the autopsy descripitions. :)
"Fascinating beginning, devolves into obsession"
Colorful, thoughtful account that becomes very difficult to listen to when Graysmith becomes completely consumed with this case. I'll have to read the print version because the repetition of ideas towards the end of this gave me a headache. Reading and listening are so different.
I would certainly read another book by Robert Graysmith. His take on true crime is absorbing, for the most part. He's a perceptive observer and his passion for the subject elevates the book beyond the sordid standard true crime story.
No, but would be delighted to listen to him again. He has a very rich voice,
It is and I did.
"The Scarriest Story Ever Told"
The narration is excellent and matches the matter-of-fact, horrifying tone of the story.
This story about a killer who sent messages to the press and actually had them published is almost too unbelievable to be true and is even more shocking in our time. The poorly-done movies inspired by Zodiac could never depict the terrifying, graphic nature of the murders which are recreated in disturbing detail in this book. Graysmiith has a matter-of-fact, journalistic approach that makes you feel that you are walking on to a fresh crime scene and investigating the case yourself, without any of the embellishment of a CSI.
Yes, it is hard to stop listening and will keep you awake at night -- checking the locks on the doors. Don't listen as you're going to sleep.
I've listened to hundreds of audiobooks and this one has been the best. Too disturbing to listen too twice.

Daily Reading for Thursday, August 21st, 2014
Reading 1, Ezekiel 36:23-28
23 I am going to display the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned among them. And the nations will know that I am Yahweh -- declares the Lord Yahweh -- when in you I display my holiness before their eyes.
24 For I shall take you from among the nations and gather you back from all the countries, and bring you home to your own country.
25 I shall pour clean water over you and you will be cleansed; I shall cleanse you of all your filth and of all your foul idols.
26 I shall give you a new heart, and put a new spirit in you; I shall remove the heart of stone from your bodies and give you a heart of flesh instead.
27 I shall put my spirit in you, and make you keep my laws, and respect and practice my judgments.
28 You will live in the country which I gave your ancestors. You will be my people and I shall be your God.
Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 51:12-13, 14-15, 18-19
12 Give me back the joy of your salvation, sustain in me a generous spirit.
13 I shall teach the wicked your paths, and sinners will return to you.
14 Deliver me from bloodshed, God, God of my salvation, and my tongue will acclaim your saving justice.
15 Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will speak out your praise.
18 In your graciousness do good to Zion, rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then you will delight in upright sacrifices,-burnt offerings and whole oblations -- and young bulls will be offered on your altar.
Gospel, Matthew 22:1-14
1 Jesus began to speak to them in parables once again,
2 'The kingdom of Heaven may be compared to a king who gave a feast for his son's wedding.
3 He sent his servants to call those who had been invited, but they would not come.
4 Next he sent some more servants with the words, "Tell those who have been invited: Look, my banquet is all prepared, my oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, everything is ready. Come to the wedding."
5 But they were not interested: one went off to his farm, another to his business,
6 and the rest seized his servants, maltreated them and killed them.
7 The king was furious. He despatched his troops, destroyed those murderers and burnt their town.
8 Then he said to his servants, "The wedding is ready; but as those who were invited proved to be unworthy,
9 go to the main crossroads and invite everyone you can find to come to the wedding."
10 So these servants went out onto the roads and collected together everyone they could find, bad and good alike; and the wedding hall was filled with guests.
11 When the king came in to look at the guests he noticed one man who was not wearing a wedding garment,
12 and said to him, "How did you get in here, my friend, without a wedding garment?" And the man was silent.
13 Then the king said to the attendants, "Bind him hand and foot and throw him into the darkness outside, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth."
14 For many are invited but not all are chosen.'

New Jerusalem Bible
Bible Resources
The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) is a Catholic translation of the Bible published in 1985. The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) has become the most widely used Roman Catholic Bible outside of the United States. It has the imprimatur of Cardinal George Basil Hume.
Like its predecessor, the Jerusalem Bible, the New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) version is translated "directly from the Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic." The 1973 French translation, the Bible de Jerusalem, is followed only "where the text admits to more than one interpretation." Introductions and notes, with some modifications, are taken from the Bible de Jerusalem.

Wednesday, September 21, 2016 at 7:00 p.m., Williams Township Office Conference Room
All meetings will be posted at Auburn City Hall and at Williams Township Hall in compliance with the Michigan Open Meetings Act.
Auburn-Williams Intergovernmental Advisory Committee Members
Betty Owen, Chairperson, City Representative
Lee Kilbourn, Auburn Mayor
Paul Wasek, Williams Township Supervisor
Jim Dominowski, City Representative
Matt Charbonneau, City Representative
Robert Putt, Township Representative
Ron Kohn, Township Representative

Williams Township Home Page>Boards and Commissions>Auburn/Williams Intergovernmental Advisory Committee
The City of Auburn and Williams Charter Township have joined over the years in many successful ventures including the Auburn-Williams Fire Department, the Auburn-Williams Recreation Association, and contracting for administration of the Michigan Building Code.Ā Both the City of Auburn and Williams Charter Township are members of the West Bay County Regional Wastewater System.
At a time when governmental units are realizing decreasing revenues, it is necessary and fitting to look towards methods to deliver essential governmental services in the most cost effective way to the residents, businesses and property owners of Williams Charter Township and the City of Auburn.
It was in that context that the Auburn City Commission adopted a Resolution to Consolidate Governmental Services with Williams Township at an Auburn City Commission Meeting on July 2, 2007.Ā The Williams Township Board of Trustees adopted a similar Resolution Supporting Intergovernmental Cooperation at a Williams Township Board of Trustees Meeting on August 14, 2007.Ā As a result of these two resolutions, a Special Meeting of the Auburn City Commission and Williams Charter Township Board of Trustees was held on April 24, 2008.Ā The City's and Township'sĀresolutions, and minutes of the Special Meeting, can be downloaded by clicking on the highlighted text above.
It was the consensus of the City Council and Township Board members at the special meeting that the city and township should continue to actively explore opportunities to work together that make sense for both communities.Ā If areas of mutual interest are identified, then the city and township should carefully explore the possibilities.Ā
Formulation of an Intergovernmental Advisory Committee (I.A.C.) was discussed as a method to further explore areas of possible cooperation between both governmental entities.Ā Committee meetings are posted in accordance with the Open Meetings Act and the public is encouraged to attend.
It was determined that the advisory committee would be comprised ofĀ John McNally, Mayor, and Tom Paige, Supervisor, along with one other elected member ofĀ both the township board and city commission.Ā In addition, two residents from each municipality were chosenĀto formĀan eight member committee.
Catherine Mullhaupt, Michigan Townships Association Member Information Services Liaison/Team Leader reminded those present at the Special Meeting that each legislative body, the Auburn City Commission and Williams Township Board of Trustees, is responsible for any decisions that are ultimately made.Ā The I.A.C. is an advisory committee with no legislative authority and no authority to make or change policy.
It is important to note that the City and Township operate under very different enabling statues and regulations and that there is not a desire to merge the two governmental units.Ā It is the I.A.C.'s purpose to identify areas of mutual interest in both municipalities and to carefully research the possibilities of combining the effort in identified areas.Ā The goal is to determine if cost savings can be realized whileĀproviding the same or better level of service.Ā
The first meeting of the Auburn/Williams Intergovernmental Advisory Committee was held on December 17, 2008.Ā Meeting minutes are available by following the links near the top of this page in the green boxĀon the left hand side of this page.

Whether you're talking about your business or your personal life, there's one common ingredient to success most people miss. Everyone focuses on what they do – not on the why.
How many organizations have mission statements that are perfectly suited to put an insomniac to sleep? "We strive to be a world class provider of (insert business here) pursuing excellence and always putting our people and customers first" Yawn.
How many of you focus on goals or your next career move and have to work like crazy to motivate yourself and drive yourself to get everything done to accomplish that, burning out any passion or joy along the journey?
Both of those approaches, whether corporate or personal, are focused on what you do, not why. What you do has no passion, no drive, no motivation in and of itself. That's why you have to motivate yourself or your team or your organization.
So how do you do anything differently? Well here's a revolutionary thought. What if you started with your motivation, your raison d'etre, and then drawing your goals from there so your motivation, and the drive of your team in an organization are implicitly built in to whatever situation arises?
It sounds pretty radical, but if you look at the organizations that are most successful, they are the ones that focus on their purpose first, not on what they do. Same with people. The ones who consistently live fuller and more meaningful lives are those who live on-purpose.
Purpose is not just about you, whether you're talking about yourself or your organization – it's about how you make a difference in the world. That's something that can set you on fire for your personal purpose. It's also something that can set everyone in your organization alight when you're talking about organizational purpose.
Purpose is not mission or vision. As detailed in this HBR article, purpose exists to inspire your staff to do good work for you, find a way to express the organization's impact on the lives of customers, clients, students, patients — whomever you're trying to serve. Make them feel it.
The evolution of mission into more purpose-ful organizations is illustrated in this article, showing how organizations transformed their business by focusing on helping first, and selling second. Mission statements are usually very insular, looking inward, and have the motivational power of going for a root canal. Purpose statements are simple (in plain English, not vision-speak) and focus on why you do what you do.
In a similar way, personal purpose needs to be a simple statement that gets to the why of all of your life, not just your work.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
A cosy chalet-style apartment with 2 separate bedrooms. Situated in the quiet and rustic old part of Les Deux Alpes at the south end of town. Uninterrupted panoramic views of The Muzelle mountain and the valley of Venosc below. Very peaceful and just a short 5 minute walk to the new hi-speed Le Diable chairlift (ski and mountain bike), shops, restaurants and all amenities. Meet and greet service included with access to discounted ski pass and ski hire rates. Local restaurants offer all guests 5-10% discount. Welcome packs, linen/towel hire, laundry and cleaning services all available to make your stay as perfect and enjoyable as possible.
Hi, my name is Alexa. I am an avid snowboarder and have spent many years of my life chasing the white snow. My love of the mountains brought me to Les Deux Alpes where I could snowboard all winter and summer long. Unfortunately my job has taken me away from the mountains but that's good for you guys as you can stay in my beautiful chalet apartment. The view is exceptional and I hope you have the best holiday. Enjoy!
Alexa Hohenberg purchased this apartment in 2004
Les Deux Alpes is a magical place and my apartment sits just above a 1000m cliff, offering the most spectacular views. In winter you can enjoy whatever terrain you seek, be it steep and deep or soft an gentle...there is even the World renowned terrain of La Grave just off the back of Les Deux Alpes. In summer you can ski and snowboard and play golf or mountain bike in the afternoon. If you want to relax by the lake there are plenty of those too! It really offers everything for an action packed holiday winter or summer.
You will lose your breath when you see the view!
The chalet is excellent, we fell in love with the place immediately, it had everything we needed and more, tidy, clean, warm and so welcoming. The view, what can you say the girls were beside themselves waking up to a breathtaking vista every morning.
In a quieter part of town but still close to the ski lifts, shops etc.
Really good value for money too.
Thank you! again and hope to return.
Steve, Helen, Jemma & Abbie
