Every year, a minor league hockey team in Calgary holds something called a "Teddy Bear Toss," where fans are supposed to bring a teddy bear to the game and throw it on the ice after the home team scores its first goal.
This year's Toss went down on Sunday, and there's footage on YouTube of 21,000 teddy bears being thrown on the ice all at once.
If you're wondering what they DO with all of them, it's actually for a good cause. All the bears are donated to local hospitals and charities.

A strong first quarter, which saw Midway's JV boys outdistance Lakewood 21-4, would prove a good foundation for a home win Friday night. Final score 76-60, Raiders.
Although Lakewood made it a game in the second quarter, bouncing back from a disappointing opening frame, the Leps couldn't overtake the home team and headed into the break still trailing 37-28.
"We had a great first quarter, our best this year," said Midway JV coach Matthew Creech. "In fact it was really the best game we've played all season."
The JV Raiders, Creech said, came out with great intensity and executed a full court press that gave the visiting Leopards trouble.
"We were forcing turnovers and creating the offense we needed to get some quick points," Creech said. "I was just a great game; I couldn't have been prouder of this team for their effort."
Paris Smith led scoring for the JV Raiders with 21 points. Also scoring were Shyheim Small, 12 points off the bench; Cameron Hobbson, 11; Jamarrious Baggett, 10; Tyler Mayes, 8; Ayden Canady, 5; Jackson Carr, 3; and Larry Blanks, 2.
Midway's JV record moves to 13-6 overall and 5-5 in conference.
They play host to Pender next Tuesday, Feb. 5. Game time is 5:30 p.m.

SAG AFTRA Merger–Don't Know, Vote NO
The establishment of the SAG-AFTRA, "One Union" merger have been pulling out all of the stops during this attempt of guild blending. Well, by "all of the stops", I mean they are parading celebrity pleas for "YES" votes and ignoring critical questions. I had questions and was directed to call or email the people at www.sagaftra.org. It's been weeks with multiple attempts and I still have no response.
They've held online meetings, one of which I viewed, and in person meetings and they've sent out slick mailers, but have failed to answer any of the questions that I've had. It was extremely frustrating not being heard by the people purporting to represent my interests.
THEN I see SAG-AFTRA post this Lewis Black rant:
Besides being another celebrity who has NONE of the same needs that I have, this is just downright insulting. Those of us who dare question this merger need to "think for once"? The ONLY thing funny about this clip is that he rails on people for clinging to a slogan but only really offers slogans in return. Oh yeah, he gives the "guy working on two cartoons at once" scenario, because that happens to a majority of the membership on a regular basis. Other than that, he's just spewing establishment talking points, in a really loud voice.
There are lots of things that I Don't Know about this proposed merger and that's why I'm leaning towards no. Here are the major ones: Read the rest of this entry

This is a useful tool so I decided to make a simple rpm package of it.
It's available in the OpenSUSE Buildservice.

I don't understand why NDSrepair is so different on Linux.
NSSMU looks pretty much the same as on Netware, we should do the same with dsrepair.
Anyway, this tool is pretty cool ;)

One of the main differences between RealScience-4-Kids curriculum and other science curriculums for this age group is the detailed Teacher's Manual. Many elementary age teachers do not have a background in science and do not feel adequately prepared to teach science topics. Our Teacher's Manual was designed to make teaching science easy and fun, even for the teacher with no science background. Each page of the Manual contains the student text page on the left and important background and teaching information for the instructor on the right side of the page. For the lab workbook, the expected results are clearly laid out for the teacher.
RealScience-4-Kids components can also be ordered individually. Multiple students may share a textbook, but each student needs a lab workbook to perform the lab experiments and record their results.:

Too many errors on your plone site, i don't have the time to fix all.
First you customized "portlet_recent", and it was one of your problems.
Inside "portlet_recent", i replaced :
tal:define="last_login_time python:member.getProperty(DateTime());
tal:define="last_login_time python:member.getProperty(last_login_time
, DateTime());
and added inside the catalog request
modified={'query': last_login_time, range

Patagonia Reviews
Posted: Jun 18, 2013
Reviewer: Julie
from Northern US
I have to return these because the 10, my usual size, is just too small. I've not bought Patagonia pants before, so I don't know if they run a bit small or if my old things run big or if I'm just getting stupid. I even checked the size guide and my own measurements before ordering. The fabric of these is very nice, the styling is pretty good - the cuffs are held up with little tabs and the fabric is so nice and soft that the cuff will fall down on the side opposite the tab - not a good look. I guess I didn't find them quite as good looking in person as they are in the pictures, so I don't think I'll reorder.

Reviewer: K
from Minneapolis
Great dress! The fabric is very comfortable and the fit is very forgiving. I also love that you can go braless and easily show off the great back of this dress. I am 5'6", 140#, 34C and a medium fits great.

Love this as a skirt - great in the summer, lightweight, comfortable. Tie on the side adds a nice touch.

Who looks better? Floyd Mayweathers new GF Playmate jessica burciaga or his ex Fiance Shantel Jackson? http://bit.ly/lrYPAW
Pics: Playmate Jessica Burciaga is Floyd Mayweather's New Girlfriend
Looks like Floyd "Money" Mayweather has moved on from Fiance Shantel Jackson to Playmate model Jessica Burciaga.
According to BSO,
50 Cent was celebrating his birthday with his BFF Money Mayweather in Vegas.
It appears Mayweather has dropped his previous lady Shantel Jackson and upgraded to Playboy Model Jessica Burciaga. Either that or she is just the flavor of the month.
Here she is with 50 Cent's latest girl toy Daphene at the Party.
Continue on to see pics of Floyd Mayweather's ex Fiance Shantel Jackson, who in my opinion is wayy badder than Miss Burciaga. What do you guys think?
Here's pictures of the Floyd and Shantel together.They looked happy, so I'm going to HOPE that BSO's sources are flaw and the the Burciaga girl and Money Mayweather were just enjoying each others company, nothing more. Hmmm guess we will have to see who's on his arm for the Ortiz fight.

Surviving a council-manager form of government
By Bob Weir
Published: Friday, October 5, 2012 4:35 PM CDT
One of the problems I have with politicians, especially those in the "executive branch," is that they often are legacy builders. In other words, they get into office and they begin to look for things to put their names on. Perhaps it's the president wanting his name on a healthcare bill, or a bridge to nowhere; or a local mayor wanting his name on a new library, city hall, or housing project.
It's all about ego and it always costs the taxpayers more of their hard-earned income. Government, from federal to state to local, has grown exponentially since the early days when there was no such thing as an income tax. We can't even imagine what it was like before bureaucrats began figuring out ways to dip into our pockets with a slow, but steady grip on everything we used to claim as our own. It could only be accomplished by a carefully contrived plan that assured us we wouldn't even feel the pinch. Yet, slowly, inexorably, the pinch has become a punch that has wage-earners stunned when they look at the long list of deductions chewing away their paychecks like locusts on a cornfield.
Most of us are familiar with the excesses of the national government, but pay scant attention to what's happening on the local scene. That's a shame because local politics has more of a direct influence on you than you might imagine. If you're not vigilant in your area, you might suddenly find a new apartment complex is being built that makes your town look like a section of the inner city has been transplanted into the neighborhood while you were sleeping. You might be on your way to work when you notice signs indicating a new road is going to be merged onto the thoroughfare, even though the current road is already a parking lot during the rush hours. Why were these new additions necessary, you might ask? How much more is it going to cost, and who gave anyone the right to add more spending to the budget? Well, maybe if you had been paying attention to the issues being bandied about in the last election, you'd know where your taxes are going, and how much more you may be ponying up soon. Sadly, the chances are that you didn't even know there was an election.
Well, here's a quick tutorial for those who are subject to taxation, while knowing nothing about representation. Most cities and towns operate under the council-manager form of government. In most areas, we elect a mayor and council members for two-year terms. An election is held each year, with a mayoral candidate and half the council up for election one year, and the other half of the council up the next. A majority vote of the council is needed to perform the legislative function of the municipality such as establishing policy, passing local ordinances, voting appropriations, and budget approvals. The town manager directs all the departments that serve the town, while functioning as the bridge between the town council, the residents and the staff. Moreover, he/she is responsible for accomplishing town council policies. This is where it can get complicated.
A town manager may be in office for several years and become very familiar with, and adept at administering to the needs of residents. However, given the ever-changing nature of the political scene, the manager is subject to the latest ideology every time a new council takes office. Yet, the reason this form of government was adopted more than a hundred years ago was to rid municipalities of machine politics that often abused power and became a pay-to-play patronage system. Also known as a spoils system, it is a practice in which a politician or a political party, after winning an election, gives "rewards" to those who assisted in the victory. Those rewards often translated into jobs on the payroll to keep their supporters happy and ready to work for them in the next campaign. Sometimes, rewards came in the form of lucrative construction contracts to companies that had been generous with their contributions during the campaign.
While all of this is going on, the guys and gals who go to work each day to pay for all this government are depending on elected and appointed leaders to do their jobs ethically, with a focus on prudent fiscal stewardship. All of the foregoing is precisely why it was vital to have an independent, politically impartial manager who could do the job effectively without constant interference from the latest office-holders who might be more interested in personal aggrandizement and political philosophy than in serving the community with sound management principles.

1) the act of being indecisive or uncommited, or to show a lack of sincerity. 2)To go back on one's word or to breach a promise. (flodge) Jerry said he would be our ride to the club, but now he is flodging and won't answer his phone.
4. | Flodge | ||
A combination of the words "flake" and "dodge"...when a person, usually a friend, cancels on plans or events at the last second for no good reason. Brent's friends invited him over so that they could spend time with him before he moved all the way across the country, but at the last second he FLODGED because he was "too tired" to watch a movie and drink free wine.
5. | flodge | ||
the word flodge is a spelling derivation of the word flauge which is a shortened/slightly altered version of the word "camouflage". the word gained popularity especially amongst american hiphop culture and is used mainly as a verb to describe someone lying, hiding, fronting or masking a truth or event. flodge is often used as an alternate spelling of "flauge", as it is easier to pronounce. To those simply hearing the word, without knowing the origin (derived from camouflage) of the word, flodge proves to be a more logical spelling. eg. 1
-sorry guys, i'm not going to be able to come to the game with you tonight because i have to stay home and do my homework. -don't try to flodge! we all know you're just going to stay in and watch bullshit movies with your girlfriend. eg. 2 -he said that someone broke into his house and stole all of the product, but i know for a fact that he's flodging. eg.3 -tony is such a bullshitter. everything he says is total flodge. eg.4 -man Waterworld was such a stupid movie. the entire premise was total flodge. |
7. | Flodge | ||
The shortened form of the proper noun - Forest Lodge, a suburb in Sydney, NSW, Australia. Man - I live in the Flodge.
Girl - Flodge? Man - Yeah Forest Lodge. Girl - Oh, I live in Glebe.. Man - Don't talk to me. |

IT WAS TWO years ago that Trevor and I first met, and though the moment is still quite vivid, I didn't remember his face or his name. I was too preoccupied with what had just happened – I'd crashed into a tree near the Natural Half-Pipe, and I didn't even register who was asking for my cell phone, calling ski patrol, and sitting with me as we waited for professional medical help to arrive. In the hospital days later, I got a Facebook friend request from a Pennsylvanian teen. His name was Trevor, and he wanted to know if I was OK after my accident – he was the one who had found me, saved my life, really. He had noticed a photo of me hiking the A-Z Chutes at Big Sky. He'd never skied them, but asked if I might take him when I got better. After months of recovery time, I did get better, and made a point to get back on the slopes. But post-accident I wear my avalanche beacon on Mr. K, avoid most glades, and head in whenever light gets flat; I've challenged myself by getting back out there. Deep down, I'm still a scaredy-skier. But when Trevor told me he was coming to Big Sky this winter, I knew our mission would be to ski the expert sidecountry A-Z Chutes. It was a beautiful bluebird powder day, and we hiked the ridge with determination, stopping at a gnarly run called Castle Rock. Teetering on the ridge, my heart was racing. But skiing with Trevor had me feeling emboldened, and my nervousness turned into whoops of excitement as we hit wide powder turns. Then we went cliff hucking, something I generally avoid. Trevor got ready to hit Big Rock like a pro as I inched up to the edge of the smaller drop, and hesitated. "You've got this," Trevor said, and I pushed off, proceeding to get the least amount of air in the history of cliff hucks, my ski tips hitting the snow straight-on and immediately ejecting me from their bindings. I tumbled through the powder, but found myself laughing in delight as I self-arrested; falling didn't have to be scary. It could be really, really fun. Then Trevor suggested we ride the trees. I'm much more wary of tree runs these days, but I thought about whom I was skiing with - when it comes to life saving abilities concerning tree-related ski accidents, Trevor has definitely proved his worth. So into the powdery glades I went, and Trevor made sure to stop and check on me every so often as I took my time weaving through the once menacing-looking trunks. We came out unscathed and smiling, exhilarated. I couldn't help but put my arms out and turn my face to the sun as we slid back down to the base area, soaking in the feeling that with Trevor's help, I was gaining back my confidence. I had been afraid of hugging another tree. Instead, I hugged Trevor.

I have worked extensively in the US in the field of fundmental atomic physics. Between 2000 and 2006 I was involved in multidisciplinary teams that had expertise in both Food Technology and Marine Science. My work in that period involved a combination of very applied physics, such as the cooking of wheat and limpet adhesion mechanisms, together with more fundamental physics, such as the characterisation of conjugated polymers and the photo-dissociation of molecules.
I am currently working in several teams studying diverse topics such as fundamental molecular physics, food science and human nutrition.
- PhD, Flinders University
- Diploma in Education, Flinders University
- Bachelor of Science (Honours), Flinders University
Research keywords
- Atomic and molecular physics
- Food Material characterisation
Research expertise
My research work is multidisciplinary. I have done research in various areas of Applied Science, such as Marine Science, Food Science and Nanotechnology as well as fundamental atomic and molecular physics.
Thus I have looked at physical processes in a variety of topics e.g.
- The physical properties of cooked wheat in breakfast cereals.
- Limpet adhesion mechanisms in the intertidal zone
- The characterisation of conjugated polymers using photoluminescence techniques.
- The photodissociation of simple molecules.
My most recent research into the photodissociation of molecules is part of a collaborative effort with researchers in the US who were developing a new set of experiments at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory on California. I am the team co-leader and involved in the planning of the experiments and their implementation while at the ALS.
I am part of a successful collaboration with groups at the University of Nebraska and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the USA. We do work on fundamental molecular physics at the Advanced Light Source in Califormia.

I kinda wanted to throw a game idea on the wall and see what stuck.
I guess a background is in order. I'm 43 and have played nearly every MMO since Merdian59. And honestly year after year MMOs are get worse and more basic.
What I am proposing is a stratergy type mmo. IE. Wizard101 for adults.
I think a casual stratergy game is a much needed genre.

It's good to have some ideas from playing games, but it sounds like you don't have a lot of experience on the development side. The most common mistake is to choose too large a game with too much scope. MMO's are generally the hardest games to produce and have a very high failure rate.

The Iowa State Patrol and Des Moines Public Works were asking drivers to stay off the roads until late Sunday morning.
Freezing rain was falling in Central and Northwest Iowa, creating the potential for hazardous driving conditions Sunday.
Check for church and business closings.
Up to a quarter inch of ice was expected to form in Central Iowa. But Meteorologist Metinka Slater said melting should occur as temperatures warm up for the day.
"It's going to be bad for a while, and then it's going to be fine," Slater said.
The Iowa State Patrol said there were already several accidents reported by 7 a.m. Sunday.
Des Moines Public Works Director Pat Kozitza said slick spots can be hard to see.
Kozitza said all of the city streets have been pre-treated with an anti-icing agent, but if the freezing rain fell first as just rain it could dilute the treatment.
He said city plows were applying a de-icing agent as the ice began to accumulate.
Slater said Northeast Iowa can expect more ice than Central Iowa and it would stay around for a longer period of time, A winter storm warning is in effect there.

War and Peace is one of the greatest monuments in world literature. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars, it examines the relationship between the individual and the relentless march of history. Here are the universal themes of love and hate, ambition and despair, youth and age, expressed with a swirling vitality which makes the book as accessible today as it was when it was first published in 1869.
In addition it is, famously, one of the longest books in Western literature and therefore a remarkable challenge for any reader. Neville Jason read the abridged version of War and Peace and proved his marathon powers with his outstanding performance of Proust's Remembrance of Things Past. These make him the ideal narrator to essay Tolstoy's epic.
War and Peace was translated by Louise and Aylmer Maude.
© and (P) Naxos Rights International
"War and Peace presents us with a complete picture of human life; a complete picture of the Russia of those days; a complete historic picture of the struggle of nations; and a complete picture of the things in which men set their happiness and greatness, their sorrow and their shame." (A.V. Knowles, Tolstoy: The Critical Heritage)
"There remains the greatest of all novelists - for what else can we call the author of War and Peace?" (Virginia Woolf)
"Definitely worth a listen..."
I love listening to audiobooks as I make my commute through LA traffic. It makes the time pass and eases the anxiety of people who shouldn't have a license.
Tolstoy's War & Peace gives a fairly accurate portrayal of life among the upper class Russian society during the Napoleonic Wars. It gives a historical account of the war between Napolean and Alexander, all the while set behind the facade of several interwoven upper class Russian families. It's a very entertaining, and classic work, from one of Russia's greatest novelists. It doesn't however touch upon the poverty stricken serfs who made up the majority of the population of Russia at the time. In this case, I've always felt Dostoyevsky does a much better job in capturing a more realistic portrayal of Russian society. Crime and Punishment and The Brothers Karamozov both give you a better look at the social climate of the period, if that's what you're looking for.
In other words. It's kind of a cool story about rich people during a war. It can be a little boring in places, but if you like history, you'll probably like the book. And it takes a good chunk of time out of a commute of a long car trip!!! LOL
"A long book, but at least the chapters are short"
Neville Jason does a good (but not great) job reading this longest of long books. The dialogue, as read, is more dynamic than the narration; and the men are voiced more effectively than the women. (Unfortunately, given the amount of time she spends "onscreen," I found Jason's reading of Natasha to be somewhat shrill.) The Frederick Davidson recording is more dynamic, but Davidson's voice seems to rub a lot of people the wrong way. Jason at least has a smooth and mellow voice, and his reading is clear and unhurried.
This is the Maude translation, and Naxos (and Audible) get five stars for making it available in an attractive and accessible format. There are fourteen books in "War and Peace," plus an epilogue, and the recording is divided by book, with a chapter mark for each chapter: so it's very easy to find your way around and know exactly where you are in the story. The idea that you can get the whole thing for only two credits is amazing.
The book is long, some 70 hours or more, but most of the chapters are short and full of absorbing detail. The chapters that aren't -- where Tolstoy lays out his philosophy of history, or summarizes some of the larger historical context from 50,000 feet -- can probably be skipped without great loss. (To oversimplify, Tolstoy basically seems to be saying that while individuals think they have free will in an individual sense, when you step back and look at events from a larger perspective you see that reality is overdetermined and that what happened was inevitable. He also suggests that the "great man" theory of history is seriously flawed, because all the kings of the earth can't do squat without the individual acts of every single pawn.)
I realize that's heresy, but it would be better to get the story and skip the philosophy than to skip the book altogether. The story itself is incredible.
I am an 19 year old international student from New Zealand currently studying at a great books school, St. John's College. So I read A LOT.
"Concerning the translation"
This is the Leo Wiener translation from 1904 if anyone is interested. There are nine other english editions. I have not read the other editions, but this one was an incredible read/listen, and I highly recommend it :)
"Epic historical novel PLUS....."
Impossible to categorize this huge work. A beautifully written historical novel of the Russian aristocracy, woven together with a carefully detailed examination of Napoleon's invasion of Russia, battle by battle, and lastly Tolstoy's theories on how and why these events occurred.
The scope of this book is stunning, the characters unforgettable. Although more approachable than I anticipated, the exhaustive historical detail and Tolstoy's emphatic philosophical discourses make this more than a little challenging.
That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed this book, absolutely recommend it, and will probably revisit it sometime in the future. Right now, however, I'm ready for some mindless escapism!!
"Great Book and a Great Narrator"
I really enjoyed the first volume of this book. Neville Jason is a tallented narrator and makes the story easy to follow with identifiable and unannoying voices. I highly recommend this audiobook.
Love having someone read me a story. Fires in the hearth, rain on the roof, sunny days and surf. Good friends, good food and J S Bach.
"Way to Go. This Way."
If you are like me and have tried to read this book and given up , then this is the way to go. Neville Jason does read well.
The names both familiar and formal are accepted by the English speakers' ear and are recognized......Phew....... And it is possible to relax and enjoy this great book. History unfolds as the narrative progresses. Some books lead me to research more than the story tells.....and....................
Apart from learning more about Napoleon, I became very curious about when and how slavery come to Russia.
A great book and a journey into the past too.
"A great treat"
It' really worth the effort. Great to get 61 hours of supurb word litrature for jutst two credits.
"the best audiobook ever"
This book is super good and completely entertaining. Also very well read. It's cool to hear all of those Russian and French names sais aloud.
"What I learned"
Prince Andrea destroyed himself on stubbornness and his refusal to forgive until it was too late.
The worst decisions made in life are usually overreactions to things that you have no control of anyway. To love life is to love god. And in order to love life you must love the inevitability of your own suffering and happiness.

RE: Pecht Family
Hi Susan,
I'd been meaning for some time to track you down, because I remembered running across your query about George and Mary, and I did want to let you know that I had the burial site. I knew from a more recent publication that the three younger children were there, and suspected that George and Mary were also. Then I was sent an older publication which included them. This cemetery is a mess, sadly, you need a machete to get to half of the stones. It's pretty easy to find though, which is a plus. I will transfer the family to you - all I ask is that you leave the info I included as to the publication so there is some proof showing of the burials.

RE: Doyle Family
Oh! I remember that. I already saw your blog, months ago. Without knowing that it was yours, of course, but just trying to find some information about David Doyle's life on web, I found it.
I love those pictures of you and him, meeting for the first time and chatting a little! And I also like your words.
Thank you Susan, for this link and for sharing your experience and impressions.

RE: Doyle Family
Really? Sounds great! As a lot of people I've loved David Doyle's character "Bosley" in Charlie's angels. And it is so strange and beautiful to know his family. I've found Mary Doyle's grave, on this site, by chance, by the link on wikipedia.
And in this way I've had the opportunity of meet all his family, thank you to your work. Very interesting.
I bet that he was a very charming and kind person also in the "real" life!
Thank you very much again.

Sheffer Pioneer Cemetery
I hope I haven't added a mess to the Sheffer site!
I found census records for a "Bird" family living in Greenwood and added them as possible family name, though BURD is on the grave list. (could the spelling be BIRD?)
I left some messages for you, as I found
a grave with "V.B." on it and do not know who that is.
I did not find a large Kehler gravestone. I think the Kehler requesting the photo was disappointed.
I did find the only "K." names on the three stones that were together, so I think they were correct.
Is there a mapping of the plots in a book somewhere? A library? Then I could i.d. unknown names on the stones. Or was there a local newspaper for Greenwood in the 1860's? Are all the names listed in the pioneer book about the Sheffer cemetery??? Thanks.
I could do crayon rubbings to see the names on paper on some of those gravestones. Some of the dates may appear that way.

The Portland Planning Board will soon take up a proposal by the University of New England for a $14.5 million Patient Care Facility, part of its new College of Dental Medicine expected to start up in 2013.
The planning board will discuss the 38,000-square-foot center Tuesday night, according to the Bangor Daily News. James Koelbl, founding dean of the dental college, said the building will be "one of the most modern dental facilities in the state of Maine," and would include training dummies as well as space for students to practice on live patients. A total of 40 faculty and staff would work there, and as many as 15,000 patients are expected to visit each year. Port City Architecture designed the building, and Allied Cook Construction of Portland would build it.
The center would be built at the site of three residences owned by UNE, and would include a new parking lot. Should the center win approval, construction would begin in July.

Hello All,
I'm teaching myself how to weld thru trial &error, reading a manual, watching a DVD , and asking questions. I am building recumbent bicycles and therefore am welding mostly 16 guage metals and other thin stock. I have a new Hobart Handler 140.
Can a 60 year young man learn to stick metal together? Would an autodarkening hood purchase be the right thing to do starting out? Are they SAFE? Can I trust it to work?

ADHD and Parenting
Outgrowing ADHD
Viewer asks: We have a 13-year-old with ADHD. Is this something that he might outgrow?
Doctor's response: This is a very frequently asked question from families, as well as from the adolescent with ADHD. The teen frequently wishes to "stop taking his medicine" as a sign of independence (or rebellion?), and the families have frequently worked so long and hard with their child that they hope that the problem will now be "outgrown." The answer: In some teens, the symptoms may appear to be less obvious. However, in almost all instances, the symptoms persist through the teen years and frequently into adulthood. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, "About 80% of those who required medication for ADHD as children still need it as teenagers."
In fact, the teen years frequently present new and special challenges. The school day is often longer and the work more challenging, after-school activities interfere with homework completion, multiple teachers and classroom settings make "a routine" less able to be achieved, social stressesheighten and so on. As a parent, your involvement has always been critical to your child's success, but never more so than now!

Tryin' to get my way home…
Scooter is watching Angry Birds videos this morning. Yes, there really are Angry Birds vids and no, I haven't a clue why. She seems to be stuck on the one with the superhero angry birds and one set to I Wanna Hold Your Hand. Somebody save me…please.
New video for "45″ from The Gaslight Anthem.
According to The Mary Sue, NASA will be having a bake sale this weekend. Seriously.
The peeps over on City of Steam have put together some game-related merchandise. You can pick up City of Steam themed (ouch, sorry) or Mechanist Games themed t-shirts, coffee cups, posters and mouse pads.
I still have an Arlis Nancy - Simple Machines CD to give away.
Neil Young and Crazy Horse have reunited to release Americana. I've had the vid to Oh, Suzannah floating around the blog and my facebook this week. I kinda like the 'let's add a hard guitar and drum edge to the tune' sound. Before they became grade school standards, some of these tracks were protest songs and I think Americana does a good job of recapturing that feeling. You all should definitely check it out just…skip the Rolling Stone review 'cause it is crap.
Yeah, don't even. I was over there to read the review for the awesome new Joe Bonamassa release, Driving Towards the Daylight (another crap review, btw) and read the one for Americana while I was there. No, I am not linking to either of them because I would rather have my fingernails pulled off with pliers than link to RS. Have a Joe vid instead.
Catch Joe at about 2:58 in the vid.
My Iron Man lamp is finally here!
Once I put away all the folded clothes on the top of my desk I'll take a pic. I may use it as my 'On Vacation' graphic this year. According to the news, I should be able to step outside and like, run into someone from Iron Man 3. Wednesday they were filming over in Cary so they could be ANYWHERE.
Well, anywhere except Lowes tomorrow since I need things from the Garden Center and don't want to fight traffic to get there. Hey, I have priorities.
Okay, I need coffee and eventually I must conquer the laundry. I also need to start on the week in blogs since it is looking kind of huge at this point. Go, shoo. Watch the vids.

Produce for People Program
Our Produce for People (PFP) program, which sprouted in 1995 to combat Portland's high poverty rate, is a grassroots effort in which community gardeners turn their ability to produce food into an opportunity to fulfill the needs of the hungry. In concert with hunger relief agencies, the program seeks to provide Portland's emergency food shelters with fresh, nutritious, organic, locally grown food. Contact the Community Gardens Office to inquire if there is an existing Produce for People program at your garden site.
Produce for People Coordinator
The PFP Coordinator works with the Volunteer Garden Manager to coordinate a PFP Program at their garden site. Position description

Ghost World [DVD]
Screenplay : Daniel Clowes & Terry Zwigoff (based on the comic book by Daniel Clowes)
MPAA Rating : R
Year of Release : 2001
Stars : Thora Birch (Enid), Scarlett Johansson (Rebecca), Steve Buscemi (Seymour), Brad Renfro (Josh), Illeana Douglas (Roberta Allsworth), Bob Balaban (Enid's Dad), Stacey Travis (Dana), Charles C. Stevenson Jr. (Norman)
Ghost World is an often funny, often painful portrait of the abyss that is postadolescence. In the void between high school graduation and full adulthood, we find Enid (Thora Birch) and her best friend Rebecca (Scarlett Johansson), bound together by their mutual misanthropy and desire not to go with the crowd, but still struggling to define themselves in a bland, commercialized world that increasingly disparages the kind of individuality they seek.
Ghost World is a teen movie only in the sense that the two main characters happen to be teenagers. Other than that, it shares nothing in common with the glut of teen movies that have filled the screen in recent years. Granted, many of these movies have been amusing and entertaining, but too often they are vapid affairs that have little interest in their characters and how they fit into a commodified world. More than anything, Ghost World stands apart because it is a striking film about the difficulties of asserting individuality, particularly for young people who are on the cusp of adulthood and must begin to define themselves outside of mocking the realm of adolescence that has consumed them for the past decade. The constant danger for Enid and Rebecca is that they are always on the verge of becoming the very losers that they define themselves by ridiculing. With little in the way of prospects ahead of them, the movie's humor is constantly tempered by the fact that they may be the young version of all that they hate in adulthood.
Based on the acclaimed comic book by Daniel Clowes (who co-wrote the screenplay with director Terry Zwigoff), the story follows Enid and Rebecca over the summer following their high school graduation. United by their ironic detachment from the shallow world around them, neither wants to go to college, so they begin following through on their plans to move into an apartment together. Rebecca gets a job working at a Starbucks-like coffee shop, but Enid continues to float listlessly, not quite ready to give up the comfort of adolescence even though she refuses to believe that she has to rely on anyone, especially her well-meaning, but largely clueless single father (Bob Balaban).
Much of Enid's time is taken up in a remedial art class she has to take in order to finish up her high school diploma. Enid is a budding artist in her spare time, doodling cartoonish sketches of events in her life in a large book as a kind of diary. However, such work does not impress her aging hippie teacher, Roberta (wonderfully played by Illeana Douglas), an obviously failed artiste with spiky red hair and a thing for leotards who inflicts her labored views about the socially transcendent power of art on her blank-faced students, at one point praising a brown-noser student who has created "found art" by sticking a tampon in a teacup. The struggle between Enid and Roberta over what "art" is sums up much of what the film is about, with Enid constantly trying to inject some form of authenticity into the class while Roberta insists on "art" that says something, even if the student is merely saying that he or she wants an "A" and is willing to do whatever the teacher wants in order to get it.
The rest of Enid's time over the summer is spent with Seymour (Steve Buscemi), a character who does not appear in the comic book, but forms the emotional core of the movie (he also shares some personal and physical similarities to director Zwigoff). Enid first meets Seymour when she and Rebecca play a cruel joke on him by facetiously responding to a personal ad he has placed. Enid finds herself fascinated by the sad, nearing-middle-age man who, lacking anything else in his life, collects rare 78s and obsesses over musical minutiae.
Buscemi has a tricky role here, and he pulls it off perfectly. Known as a character actor who often plays extreme roles, particularly explosive criminals, Buscemi gives the best performance of his career, suggesting Seymour's inner hollowness in both his quiet and his loud moments. Hampered by back pain and a sense of style that never evolved from when he was a young man two decades earlier, Seymour is a particularly sad character because he is fully aware of just how empty his life is; even though he fetishizes his record collection, he knows that it's simply a filler for something more emotionally rewarding that has been denied him. Thus, he and Enid make an odd complimentary pair, as her youthful, optimistic oblivion to her own lacking in life helps Seymour to find a girlfriend to fulfill his void, something that eventually begins to drive them apart.
Ghost World, however, is Enid's story, and director Terry Zwigoff, making a seemingly natural leap from the world of documentaries (he made the great Crumb about underground comic book artist Robert Crumb), strikes a magnificent balancing act in depicting Enid's essential self-centeredness without making it difficult to identify with her. Kudos should also be given to Thora Birch (best know for playing another disillusioned teenager in American Beauty), who physically resembles Clowes' comic book character, but more importantly captures Enid's struggle to define herself.
There are few revelatory moments in Ghost World�light bulbs never go off over the characters' heads as they suddenly realize something. Rather, Zwigoff gives the film a distinct rhythm that suggests the vagueness of postmodern life, the hum-drum daily grind in which friends like Enid and Rebecca gradually grow apart because one aspires toward adulthood while the other stays fixated in her own rut. Zwigoff and Clowes come up with a perfect visual symbol�a bus that was never supposed to arrive but finally does�to suggest that perhaps Enid's time has finally come at the end. We don't find out exactly what happens to her, but we can rest assured that she will continue to be who she is, even if she finally learns to take responsibility for herself.

Supplements | Deleted and alternate scenes "Ghost World: A Comic Book Comes to Life" making-of featurette "Jaan Pehechaan Ho" musical number from Gumnaam Original theatrical trailer | |
Distributor | Metro Goldwyn Mayer Home Entertainment | |
Release Date | February 5, 2002 | |
Ghost World is presented in a flawless, shiny anamorphic widescreen (1.85:1) transfer. The vivid use of comic-book colors (which is somewhat ironic since the comic book on which it is based is drawn in cool shades of gray-blue) is particularly bright and well-saturated. The image is sharp, smooth, and unblemished throughout, with the exception of a few darker scenes that betray just a hint of grain around the edges. Black levels are solid and flesh tones appear natural. | ||
The soundtrack is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround and is a solid piece of work. Not a lot of catchy surround effects, but the soundtrack is well-mixed and clean. | ||
The supplements here are a bit light. A run-of-the-mill 12-minute making-of featurette titled "Ghost World: A Comic Book Comes to Life" is included, which, despite the title, doesn't spend much time connecting the film to its source material. Instead, it includes brief interview bits with cowriter/director Terry Zwigoff, cowriter Daniel Clowes, and actors Thora Birch, Scarlett Johansson, Illeana Douglas, and Steve Buscemi. The section of deleted and alternate scenes is brief, with each of the included "scenes" being just short extensions to scenes already in the movie. Most of them run less than one minute, and there are four included: Roberta discussing another "found" artwork at the art show, Seymour discussing records at his "party," and two extensions of the convenience store owner arguing with Doug in the parking lot. The one gem of an extra is the inclusion of the entire "Jaan Pehechaan Ho" musical number in all its head-shaking glory from the 1965 Bollywood film Gumnaam, which Enid is dancing to at the beginning of the film. This is a real treat, particularly for those inexperienced in the shameless pleasures of Bollywood at its best. Lastly, the disc includes the film's original theatrical trailer, presented in anamorphic widescreen, along with trailers for a couple of other MGM DVDs and a spot advertising the Ghost World soundtrack. |
