The Declaration of Independence
The Declaration of Independence
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.

Re: The Declaration of Independence
thank you for posting this. i have never fully read it before and am ashamed of my self for not going out of my way to read this before. if everyone really put themselves in the founder's shoes, our nation would be more united on certain issues and not buy into the politically correct bull$#*! that may very well undermine our freedom from within. education, vigilance and the will to stand up for whats right is the american way.

We already saw it when Nancy Pelosi was on tape answering "can you quote the Constitutional Authority of the Obama Health Care Bill" and her reply was "are you serious?!"
Yeah Nancy... we're serious. how's that little office working out for you these days? smaller room and those closed in little walls, and nobody to boss around except a bunch of other losers who narrowly escaped being run out of town.
Nancy... are you serious?
Wait until 2012 botox babe... we're just getting started!
There's a non stop list of Dem's who would tell you how great things can be if we just spend more money putting people on public workforce!
How's that going in Europe these days? In France? how about in Greece?
hey... we're not perfect... not by any means! but our "POOR" people... they have a car and a big screen TV and they live in a house.
The BIGGEST problem... those "poor" people better start thinking about is that the UN and One World Govt people they vote for as Demothugs, because those people WOULD LOVE to sign the USA to a bunch of UNCONSTITUTIONAL treaties that would make them (the poor formerly known as idiot democrats) the Donald Trumps compared to the Africans and South Americans that would be looking for redistribution of wealth. Reap what you sow... *******!!!! ROFL!!!!!!

Re: The Declaration of Independence
Our founders warned that if we as a nation were to forget God and become lawless in our behaviors, we would revert into a police state.
The early founders mentioned people being inwardly lawful, following the laws of God as saved Christians. This inward law would prevent our government from having to watch our every move just to keep us in line. They mentioned that when we got too lawless, we would have to be governed by a dictator just to stave off kaos.

So true. Folks today deny the spiritual attribution of much of our founding documents and the many Christian men who influenced the documents. They like quote the "Deists" like Washington, Franklin, Jefferson and Thomas Paine, yet forget all about people like James Madison who is the father of the constitution and the bill of rights. He may have spoken against his Anglican background, but indeed, had many writings attributing his Christian faith.
I had a discussion recently on natural rights and how they came from God. They disputed that, yet they haven't paid enough attention to the Declaration of Independence which states:
". . .the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them. . ."
This gives the source of the laws of nature, or natural rights, it comes from the God of Nature, i.e., the God of the Bible is what is meant. Secondly, they confirm that in the preamble:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
So right in the beginning of the document, they state categorically that these rights come from the God of the Bible, our Creator.

New Romney TV Ad Rebuts Obama Charges On Outsourcing at Bain

Mitt Romney is fighting fire with fire.
The presumptive Republican presidential candidate released a new television ad Thursday taking aim at President Obama's charges that he was responsible for outsourcing jobs during his time at the private equity firm Bain Capital.
The 30-second spot cites a fact-check piece from the Washington Post that labeled the president's attacks "misleading, unfair and untrue" and another from FactCheck.org that found "no evidence" Romney shipped jobs overseas.
The ad also reprises a clip of Hillary Clinton calling out then-candidate Obama during the 2008 Democratic primary for sending out mailers with false information about her positions on health care and NAFTA. "So shame on you, Barack Obama," Clinton says in the ad.
You can watch the ad here or below.
The response from the Romney campaign is part of an ongoing back-and-forth between the campaigns that started in late June with the release of a Washington Post report that Bain invested in companies that specialized in outsourcing jobs.
The Obama campaign seized on the story, with the president calling Romney an "outsourcing pioneer" on the stump and releasing TV ads in battleground states to drive home the point.
The new ad will likely help calm some GOP nerves about Romney's ability to deliver a counterpunch, the subject of a report Thursday by Jeff Zeleny and Ashley Parker in the New York Times.
Part of the Romney campaign's defense that he had no role in Bain's outsourcing activities has been that the candidate left his role with the company in February 1999 to head up the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics.
But the Boston Globe's Callum Borchers and Christopher Rowland report Thursday that based on filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission Romney "remained chief executive and chairman of the firm three years beyond the date he said he ceded control, even creating five new investment partnerships during that time."
The Globe reporters add:
Also, a Massachusetts financial disclosure form Romney filed in 2003 states that he still owned 100 percent of Bain Capital in 2002. And Romney's state financial disclosure forms indicate he earned at least $100,000 as a Bain "executive" in 2001 and 2002, separate from investment earnings.
The Romney campaign pushed back swiftly on the Globe story. Spokesperson Andrea Saul said in a statement: "The article is not accurate. As Bain Capital has said, as Governor Romney has said, and as has been confirmed by independent fact checkers multiple times, Governor Romney left Bain Capital in February of 1999 to run the Olympics and had no input on investments or management of companies after that point."
Mother Jones magazine added another piece to the outsourcing narrative Wednesday with an exclusive on Bain's involvement in a Chinese manufacturing company.
A recent Washington Post-ABC News poll found that Democratic attacks on Romney's private sector experience have paid off, with 40 percent of Americans saying the Republican did more to cut jobs as a corporate investor while 36 percent said he did more to create positions.
As long as those numbers continue to trend in that direction it's a safe bet the Obama campaign will hammer away at Romney's Bain tenure again and again.
As the Republican majority in the House of Representatives took a stand to attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act, the NewsHour on Wednesday dove into various battles at the state level over the act's Medicaid expansion plans.
Gwen Ifill spoke with a trifecta of reporters — Jon Ralston of the Las Vegas Sun, Emily Ramshaw of the Texas Tribune, and Margot Sanger-Katz from National Journal — about Republican governors' pushback against the federal money.
The governors are concerned about long-term costs for the program, Medicaid's already tricky financial state and, of course, anti-government expansion ideology.
In Texas, Gov. Rick Perry says no, he won't allow the program to expand, and the Nevada statehouse is strongly considering the same option. The final decisions won't come until state legislatures are back in session, but the governors have taken political positioning on the topic of the summer.
Not everyone's talking, though. Ralston points out a lopsided conversation in Nevada:
"More interestingly, though, Gwen, is that the liberal Democrats in this state who have agitated for years for more people on Medicaid appear to have had their vocal chords removed during this period and are not coming out with any kind of full-throated embrace of this. Why? During a campaign season, no one wants to be seen as maybe advocating for what [Gov. Brian] Sandoval said this might incur, which is a tax increase."
Watch the segment here or below.
As for the House vote itself, the repeal initiative will head to the Senate, where it will almost certainly die. Freshmen congressmen like GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy seemed perplexed by the theater, Daniel Newhauser and Jonathan Strong wrote for Roll Call in a story headlined, "Stop Us If You've Heard This One Before."
"You're voting on things in the middle of the night that you know have the same chance of becoming law as my son taking Kate Upton to the prom. Actually he may have more of a chance. It just has no chance," Gowdy told them.
They added:
To underscore some of the strangeness of the day, there was even confusion about how many times the House has voted to repeal all or part of the law. GOP leaders say the number is now 33 times. Some Democrats said 31. Regardless, the ultimate result was the same.
Our own Judy Woodruff took the idea of political theater one step further in her "Judy's Notebook" column this week. "Watching the action on Capitol Hill this week raises the question of how seriously connected Washington is to the 50 states: Is it on a singular track, cut off from what "real people" are thinking?" she writes.
Still, "This would hardly be the first time Washington engaged in a little symbolism: both political parties, presidents past and present and members of the House and Senate have taken turns posturing for public consumption," she added.
NewsHour reporter-producer Cassie M. Chew gathered voices about the vote from people not holding an official title.
And Talking Points Memo introduces the five House Democrats who curiously voted to repeal.
The New York Times presented Thursday one of many roundups of Mitt Romney's speech before the NAACP's annual convention Wednesday in Houston with the Republican's bold claim at the top: "If you want a president who will make things better in the African-American community, you are looking at him."
Of course, the candidate was booed by the crowd, despite his attempts to connect with his audience on frustration about the economy.
Watch the speech here or below, and if you speak another language, help us translate it here.
The post-boo spin has been strong enough that we considered invoking the term Boogate. (Sorry, America, please don't boo us!)
We've rounded up the stories that tackle the various causes and effects below:
Romney in a post-event interview brushed off the incident with a comment that he had expected the jeers.
Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi mused that Romney wanted to get booed.
- And: Was there boo fixing? CNN analyst Roland Martin alleges the Romney camp bussed in supporters.
- The Obama campaign is again contrasting the president's tax cut proposal against Romney's in a new TV ad airing in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Our first thought: Whose house is that at the 5-second mark?
Watch it here or below:
Romney said Wednesday the president is "simply naive" for comments made to a Miami TV station earlier this week stating that the actions of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez over the past several years have "not had a serious national security impact" on the U.S.
The Washington Post's Philip Rucker reports on the the $30,000-a-couple fundraising dinner for Romney Thursday night being held at the Wyoming home of former Vice President Dick Cheney.

SEIU and Priorities USA Action have released new ads focusing on Medicare and home foreclosures.
The DNC keeps up the offshore accounts push in a new video called "Mitt Romney's $ecret $tash."
In his Roll Call column, Stu Rothenberg laments the days when conventions meant something.

Gender-Specific Medicine
Oprah.com | July 08, 2008
As a specialist in gender-specific medicine, Dr. Marianne Legato believes that looking at health issues through a gender-specific lens offers unique insights and new methods of research. She talks with Dr. Oz about what she learned while writing her new book,
Why Men Die First
Males are at a disadvantage from the very beginning, Dr. Legato says. "They have a harder time getting out of the womb and are about six weeks behind their sisters in terms of physical readiness," she says. Males are biologically more vulnerable than women, and this vulnerability persists in many areas throughout life, causing men to die first at all ages.
With the onset of puberty, the differences between male and female longevity begin to become clear. Males are dealing with a sudden increase in testosterone levels, which are at odds with their judgment center, Dr. Legato says. "They begin to take incredible risks," she says. "They're persuaded that they're invincible, so they want to show bravery and volunteer for impossibly dangerous tasks." Adolescent females, on the other hand, have more developed judgment centers, so they consider risks before determining a course of action.
Ultimately, male lifespan may be tied to evolutionary issues, Dr. Legato says, pointing out that men were created to be disposable once the children in a family were raised. "They were given the hardest and most risky jobs on the planet," she says."And to do them, they had to ignore danger, feel invulnerable and have a diminished sense of pain when wounded." To some extent, those qualities persist today, so men are still encouraged to do things that make their lifespans shorter than they need to be, she says.

Java & "Finding Nemo"
Thu, 01-08-2004 - 5:37am |
Good Morning Everyone -
Last night as I was falling asleep I had the video "Finding Nemo" playing on my computer. That is the only DVD player that I have. Well, anyway, Java, my 2 1/2 year old kitty cat, planted herself right up next to the computer screen and watched the whole movie. Well, I had fallen asleep before it ended. When the movie ended Java started to meow and woke me up. She then started to paw at the computer screen. It was the cutiest and funniest thing I have ever seen her do. So being the good mommy that I am...I re-started the movie for her and went back to sleep!!!
God Bless Y'All
~Jen & Java~

Industry, First Nations partnerships exploding
WESTBANK FIRST NATION, BC — Most, if not all, large-scale resource development projects are situated on or pass through the traditional territories of First Nations. In fact, in B.C., most of these territories remain subject to aboriginal land claims.
That fact was a recurring theme of The National Aboriginal Business Opportunities Conference, held this week in Prince Rupert and organized by Aboriginal Market Place.
Chief Harold Leighton of Metlakatla First Nation and Mayor Gary Reece of Lax Kw'alaams First Nation welcomed big business, big banking and representatives from all sectors of the Canadian economy to the conference, a coming together of First Nations and the Canadian business sector to discuss opportunities in the energy, natural resources and transportation sectors..
The business community is starting to see the benefit of engaging with First Nations early in the process (a more sophisticated approach to aboriginal engagement), rather than when all other avenues have been exhausted. The First Nations in attendance were presented with the potential opportunities available in their territories in forestry, mining, energy and refining.
The Conference "touched on key economic drivers and questions from Aboriginal delegates raised important issues." says Keith Henry of KCD Consulting and master of ceremonies. "There was a sense of optimism but caution in terms of ensuring meaningful economic participation of local First Nations and a balance of aboriginal values such as the ensuring sustainability of the environment. It was such an honour to co-facilitate the successful two-day event."
In the old days, aboriginal engagement consisted of a company coming to a First Nation, asking "Which one of you is the chief?" and then making vague promises of potential jobs for band members. While some companies may still be using this approach, the game has changed. While employment continues to be a major concern, First Nations are now looking to come to the table as partners. Equal partners.
After the collective sigh and nationwide eye-rolling at the idea of First Nations as equal partners in major business has passed, allow me to elaborate. First Nations want to come to the table as equal partners — with money.
Until recently, First Nations did not have access to the kind of capital it takes to participate in major projects. What has changed is that more and more First Nations are being scheduled to the First Nations Fiscal Management Act, 2005 and are being certified by the First Nations Financial Management Board. For the First Nations communities that have achieved certification for their financial performance, they can now access large capital on the international bond market through the First Nations Finance Authority.
This capital is secured by a First Nation's "own source revenue" or revenue streams that they have secured outside of government program funding. These revenues can be from contracts, land leases, impact benefit agreements, band-owned business, resource sharing agreements, royalties and many others. Every First Nation has own source revenue out of a necessity to diversify their funding sources. What has changed is the new-found ability to leverage those small revenue streams into large capital to be re-invested into major resource projects.
Suddenly, First Nations are being taken seriously by big business and the scramble is on to find qualified aboriginal engagement officers. Equal partnership with a First Nation now means greatly reduced risk, access to human resources and avoidance of historical legal entanglements.
The benefits to the First Nation in partnering with big business are access to expertise, equipment and experience while greatly increasing its own source revenue base.
For those First Nations that have achieved these partnerships with industry, the most significant change has been to their balance sheets. First Nations that historically had 95 per cent of their budgets coming from government sources have reversed the tables, creating the vast majority of their own revenue. Unemployment rates are dropping and many First Nations are having to hire from off-reserve to keep up with the demand.
The significant shift amongst First Nations is in going from managing poverty to managing wealth. The effect of industry partnership is a greater quality of life for First Nations and a healthier Canadian economy.

Today's Current Party Trend is Hollywood Glamour
Inspired by movies like My Week with Marilyn and The Artist, there is a huge resurgence of Hollywood glamour inspired receptions and parties. Hollywood inspired receptions feature long dramatic tables for dinner as well as luxurious lounges for after dinner cocktails. Many times there is a combination of the round tables with long tables. Long tables are everywhere in parties and events right now.
Even a party out by the pool can be jazzed up with a long table and some beautiful linen and chairs.
Smaller bite sized food doesn't seem to be going anywhere! I love miniature food because this way your guests get to sample multiple items and not feel so stuffed! Food presentations are becoming increasingly so much more creative than just plating food on a platter!
If you are trying to achieve these awesome creations and beautiful miniature food displays MY FAVORITE book is by Peter Callahan called Bite by Bite. This book is full of gorgeous, delicious party bites and beautiful ways to display your miniature creations by down-sizing your buffets.
Black and White cake done by Clara's Designer Cakes.
Cakes for Hollywood glamour are all about the bling baby and sugar flowers. I'm not a huge sugar flower cake fan just because I can't imagine eating all of those sugar flowers. I would hate to waste those beautiful flowers however they really are gorgeous and take so much skill! I really love the look of the bling cake so sleek and elegant.I'm getting so excited for the new launch of Maddycakes Muse in the next couple of weeks! I've always shared with you my own party world...meaning my home parties but I will start to share more of my "event' party world. I will share with you event planner secrets and how to use them in your events and home parties.

Criminal Law
Civil Litigation
I do not particularily like Star Bucks but when I do decide to stop in for a hot cider I do not want to have to worry about guns in the store. even if the gun is unloaded that does not mean that the person can not just whip out a cartridge and load the gun and start firing because he or she is upset with the service recieved. Some people go crazy over the smallest thing.
Neither I nor anyone in my family will ever step foot in a Starbucks again! And exactly how would anyone know if guns are unloaded?? The stupidity of such a move is beyond belief. Even if Starbucks changes its decision they will never see us again.
Neither I nor anyone in my family will ever step foot in a Starbucks again! And exactly how would anyone know if guns are unloaded?? The stupidity of such a move is beyond belief. Even if Starbucks changes its decision they will never see us again.
It's disgusting that these people walk around carrying devices whose only purpose is to kill people. Might as well let pedophiles or beastiality fetishists parade around in there, too.
Everybody I know is all for it. It's just common sense – you never know when you're going to need to shoot somebody. I see opportunities all the time.
I think the article's statement that Starbucks favors people "brandishing" firearms is a bit of a misstatement. Google leads one to the following definition of "brandish":
move or swing back and forth; "She waved her gun"
exhibit aggressively; "brandish a sword"
flourish: the act of waving
None of the demonstrators wave or exhibit their guns aggressively. Rather, they merely wear them in a holster in plain sight. Indeed, I suspect that even states that allow open carry also prohibit brandishing of firearms.
BTW, just think of all the guns out there that you can't see. Wouldn't you rather know whose carrying? Then you can avoid the sketchy looking ones and gravitate toward the ones wearing business suits.
Newt your an idiot to compare responsible gun owners to pedophiles or beastiality. The purpose many people carry is for protection not to merely kill. I for one don't carry on a regular basis but I am a proud gun owner who values the fact that I have the RIGHT to protect myself and my family.
Can I walk into a starbucks with a butcher knife in my hand?
Anyone wanting to rob a store will not choose Starbucks
There is no such thing as a "Glock." It is a GLOCK. Become familiar with one and you'll understand why.
+1 for the right to own and carry. One's self-defense is nobody's responsibility but her or his own.
Guns attack nuts like Shi+ attracts flies. Bye-bye Starbucks!
I don't own a gun, nor do I ever anticipate needing or desiring to own one.
However, I do support the right to bear arms, as well as the right of property owners to set the conditions of entry onto their property.
I don't companies that have banned people from bringing guns onto their property should be condemned or boycotted. It's their property, and they can set whatever rules they want on it.
Likewise, companies that choose to allow firearms onto their property, in compliance with state and local laws, are also just fine with me.
People who are SO INSISTENT on having their guns with them all the times strike me as unbalanced. Exactly the kind of persons I feel should not have access to guns. Until frequent psychological exams are part of the gun licensing process I'd rather stay far away from these people. There are plenty of other places where one can get a cup of coffee.
Yearly drivers exams for a driver's license.
Yearly psych exams for a gun license.
There may be a constitutional right to bear arms. Single shot muskets.
Handguns are a fact of life. If it were possible to rid the world of them that would be terrific. The next best option is to arm the good guys.
Anyone in today's world making blanket statements about handguns and handgun owners are living in a deluded fairy tale land. Many of us who carry do it to protect those of you who don't have the stomach for it. In fact, we'd sooner act in your defense than our own. We don't ask for any gratitude or even understanding in return; only for our rights as citizens.
I find people are afraid of what they don't know. I believe that we would find that most persons that openly carry handguns are very well trained in the use of them. It is the criminals that hide the guns we need to be concerned with. We are probably much safer around those that openly carry hand guns.
I believe Starbucks should be commended for abiding by the law.
For the record, I do not own a hand gun.
It would be wonderful to get rid of guns, so long as you don't mind living under the tyranny of those who have them.
Good for you if you live in a nice neighborhood where pain in violence is something you merely watch on tv. You, however, are in the distinct minority. You have no right to tell the rest of us what is or isn't appropriate for our own protection. But you do, and then you go on to make accusations about our mental states. Look at how superior you are; how educated, how worldly, how noble.
It just never ceases to amaze how people harbor the strongest opinions about things they know they least about. I believe the word for that is "prejudice."
Are you really this stupid, can you even read… I doubt it. The second amendment clearly states that we have the right to bear arms, if you dont like it leave.
Randy – Does it say Muskets? No it doesnt it says arms, learn to read (if you have the mental capacity for that, you obviously dont.)
Great job, Starbucks! Hey Erik Forman, do yuppies own guns?
handgun owner/carrier
"The only thing worse than a yuppie upset with how their frappuccino turned out is a yuppie with a gun who's unhappy with how their frappuccino turned out,"
Well Erik if that psycho yuppie pulls a gun on you hopefully there's a law abiding gun owner that can pull out his or her's and put a slug though said psycho yuppies head before he can shoot you.
@Paul was quoted as saying "People who are SO INSISTENT on having their guns with them all the times strike me as unbalanced."
So law enforcement officers are unbalanced?
Get a grip, people carry guns for safety from criminals and protection, just like cops do.
All this open-carry stuff shows is an alarming trend of miniature-sized wedding tackle among middle-aged American men.
Personally the more people fear me for carrying my visible firearm the better.
Don't worry scaredy cats, those of us that don't fear guns will protect you from all the nuts that would kill you as so much to even look at you.
Yes even in a Starbucks, that sacrosanct place where no gun should go! LMAO!!
Good for Starbucks. I plan to give the counter person a card thanking them for supporting the Constitution. I do not plan to expose a gun.
When a person who believes in A comments on the mental state of a person who believes in B, they have lost the argument. The person who believes in A has failed to provide support for A, and instead comes across as ignorant, bigoted, and bitter. The argument for A suffers accordingly.
I wonder if Gilbert Arenas will try to get a Starbucks store inside the Washington Wizards locker room.
I trust citizens who bring their guns to Starbucks more than AG Holder's terrorist representing DOJ hires. Also, no private gun ownership in Mexico, hows that working out?
bah, sheepies!
How did "people who snowboard" get throw in among that group?
Just because I have a gun and something happens to me to make me mad doesn't mean I'll start shooting…guns don't kill people, people kill people.
How odd don't you think that liberals will allow a private business (Starbucks) to ban people who are carrying legally owned guns into their store, but these same liberals will demand that a privately owned drug store owner has to fill a legally aquired birth control prescription.
How is it that Starbucks can ban something that is legally owned, but a drug store owner can't?
Chile has gun control. People are fighting for scraps in the streets. At least in the US I will have a fighting chance when it comes to looting the Starbucks after the Big One.
Bah – the folks that are insistent upon carrying a weapon in the open aren't the ones to be afraid of. My experience is that they are the ones with the most experience and comfort around guns and are probably the least likely to use it in a crazy manner. Real crazies aren't going to be walking around with their guns in a holster on their hips, but rather tucked away inside their coats.
I have also found that people tend to be more polite when weapons are in full view. Gun shows tend to be very very polite places.
Also – as for "brandishing" – at least here in Virginia, the act of brandishing can be as simple as drawing attention to the weapon, even if it is still holstered, in a threatening way. If I have a gun under my coat, hidden from view (although lawfully carried with a Concealed Weapon Permit) and while in an argument, I open my coat to expose the gun, that is still brandishing, even though I never touched it or removed it from my holster.
I am brave enough to not carry a gun – and I know that requires a little more brain power to understand than most of y'all can muster.
I've never snow boarder or desired to, but I don't understand how that is a yuppie activity.
Are all leisure activities yuppie activities?
Does that make folks at the gun range yuppies?
I believe I will shoot anyone I see openly carrying, in self-defense. That's MY belief.
a) i think sbux is making the right choice by complying with local laws, b) i don't carry nor own a gun, c) i highly doubt that many open carry folks show up in sbux stores – i'm in there all the time and have yet to see one, d) people who think sbux should ban guns where they are legal should work to change the law rather than to change sbux policy, and e) everyone is making WAY too big a fuss over this
The only mentally unhinged people I'd expect to see at a Starbucks now are the liberal yuppie types whose limited world view doesn't include people taking responsibility for their own self-defense.
Remember, when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.
I have a top secret 2-part formula for longevity that I'll share with ya'll for free. This could add decades to your life:
1. if you're in a store and someone comes in with a gun, leave.
2. if you're about to go into a store and you see that someone in there has a gun, don't go in.
-To a long and prosperous life!
I'm glad I live in a carry state. Bad guys have to wonder if "they're feelin' lucky today."
The union barrista who's worried about packin' yuppies should check out the Virginia Tech campus that was the scene of mass murder. It was a gun free zone, after all.
Good for Starbucks. Heck, I might even have to buy a handgun now for the next time I am in a town with a Starbucks I can go in open carrying just to get to the yuppies!
If I saw a person "open carrying" at Starbucks, I'd think, in the following order: small man, frightened man, man with an attitude. Mostly, though, I'd think: loser.
I'd also leave, because a scared man with a chip on his shoulder has questionable judgment. I'd mosey over to Mickey-D and hope the grown-ups were there.
Now, I'm not talkin' about a rancher and his rifle or shotgun; I'm not talking LEO or military. But your average office dude walking around with his gun showing? What. a. Weenie.
As a gun owner and one who has been carrying for many years, I have never been forced to the point of pulling my gun to protect my life or the life of someone near me even thought I live and work in the Memphis area. Many people think that someone who carrries a gun has an attitude problem or is scared, NOT ME. I see my life more valueable that a society F-@&-up, who wants to do harm to others.
For those of you who do not know what it takes to get a carrying permit. I was required to give the state to a copy of my finger prints and I was subject to a state and federal background search before being approved. It takes a minimum of 4 months for this process to be completed. Every 4 years when I when I renew my permit, I have to give my finger prints and I am subject to another background search in the state and federal databases.
Question for those who oppose the owning of carrying but also the owning of guns by average citizens.
- How many shootings have occurred where the criminal had a gun permit and obtain the gun legally? No matter what laws are passed in this country to restrict guns, criminal will never obey them and as the population grows the number of cops to citizens will get smaller.
- Do you think if you tell the criminal that you do not believe in owning a gun or in carrying a gun that he or she will not rob, rape, or murder you?
- Have you ever driven home from a bullet from a gang shooting hit your car (and you were driving in the nice, expensive part of town)?
- Have you ever seen someone walk up to a car at a red light and rob the driver in the middle of day?
Yes, there needs to be better background searches because some bad ones do fall through the system and are issued permits. I do not fear someone who is carrying their gun where it can bee seen in a holster; it's the ones that have their gun in the waist of their pants or hidden that I think twice about.
I suspect Starbucks knows what most informed people know about this topic.
Very few people actually have carry permits, most who do rarely carry their handguns, and virtually none of them ever commit gun crimes.
Translation: you have a very low chance of seeing someone carrying in a Starbucks.
But if that still dissuades you from going to Starbucks, that's okay — that just means fewer nervous nellies in line in front of me, fussing about their frappucinos.
Should a potential domestic terrorist or an Al-Qaida sympatizer be welcome to open carry a gun at a Starbuck ?
In this economy there is some good money to be made illegally reselling guns to dubious individuals , by "law abiding citizen" .
Next time I go to Starbuck , I will bring my RPG to look cool .
supposedly there are a huge number of unregistered guns in the U.S. Starbucks isn't going to check registration. They would allow Amy Bishop in any day. It sounds like even the shooting range where she practices didn't check to see if her gun was registered.
A man never knowed when he may need to kill someone. to protect hisself and de womenfolk. Remember that dude dat drove hisn truck into the cafe in Texas several years ago and started shooting? As mens itsen are duty to perteck da womenfolk. To do dat well, sometimes we gotta kill. Personally I'd kill any man dat boddered my girlfren in Startrucks. It could happen tomorrow. Dats why I carry my Glock in Startrucks. Sometimes ya gotta kill to be a man.
"…brandishing unloaded weapons." Is a holstered weapon being brandished?
Brandishing a weapon.
(a) A person commits the offense of brandishing a weapon when the person exhibit s any deadly or dangerous weapon in a rude, angry or threatening manner to any person in the city or go es into any courthouse, church, school or any other public meeting carrying a deadly or dangerous weapon.
It was the anti-gun demonstrators who were rude and angry. Was any weapon unholstered?
I always passed on Starbucks in the past, figured they were a bunch of libs. I've been going out of my way for the last few days to pick up my morning Starbucks coffee with a scone. No, I don't open carry, just supporting a company that appears to run by someone with some sense and a spine. What a refreshing change!
I have a permit 2 carry but I'll stick with concealed carry. Those who insist on carrying openly are just asking for trouble.

Dr. Ronald L. Phillips provided those in attendance at George Daily Community Auditorium with the World Food Prize Lecture on Tuesday.
Phillips serves as a regents professor at the University of Minnesota's Department of Agronomy and Plant Genetics.
At the onset of his presentation, Phillips talked of the impact population growth is having and is anticipated to have on world food supplies. He noted that in developing countries the impact of population growth related to food supplies would be much more apparent than here in the U.S.
Phillips pointed to instances of "food riots" in over 30 countries recently, as one example.
The price of food worldwide is also important to consider. Phillips noted that 1.3 billion people in the world live on less than $1 per day.
Around 124,000 deaths from hunger occur worldwide each day, said Phillips.
Phillips also pointed to what he called solutions to this "tremendous challenge" outlined by famed agronomist Dr. Norman Borlaug. They include education, technology and political will of governments, according to Phillips.
Genetics plays a very large role in productivity of plants, noted Phillips. This accounts for about half of increased productivity, he said. The other half comes from natural resource management.
During his lecture, Phillips also touched upon the science of genomics and compared it to genetics. He said genetics is can be likened to hearing one violin, while genomics can be compared to an entire orchestra.
In recent years, advances in genomics have been accomplished, noted Phillips. He said more than 50 plant species have been sequenced.
Phillips also talked of the importance of rice throughout the world, recalling the quote, "Rice is life." He said rice is extremely important to the diets of half of the world's population. He noted that there is now a form of rice that is flood-tolerant, adding that flooding is a common agricultural issue in much of the world.
"Biotech crops" are considered a "green technology," according to Phillips.
Phillips called Borlaug a "hero," noting his numerous accomplishments and humility about earning those awards and honors.
"He was truly a humanitarian and was recognized for it," said Phillips.
Borlaug created the World Food Prize, which Phillips said has garnered an international event, bringing in agricultural leaders from around the world.

First Apple, now Google hit with kids' app lawsuit
Last month, 4- and 5-year-old brothers in New York quickly spent $65.95 in real money to buy virtual goods in Marvel's Run Jump Splash game on the family tablet.

And for that, the boys' mother has joined a class-action lawsuit filed Tuesday against Google, accusing the company of deceiving consumers about its in-app purchase system, which critics say makes it too easy for kids to spend money on their Android devices.

Day 5 - Saturday night
... br>
So, Intern Group had bowling night @8pm, got there at 810?
The only person there was Clem, the lone... well, lone full German.
I think the others started showing just before 9?
Colombian time:
Formal things, like class or work, actually get there on time.
Informal things, seeing family or friends, take you sweet ass time and be at a bare minimum... 30 minutes late.
Bowling was a lot of fun. Clem was ...
Getting to know Escobar and the city of Medellin
... so it was just a replacement one. In Colombia, the subject of Escobar is taboo as its still quite raw as it happened only 20 years ago. During the 3 years Escobar was being hunted down, the streets of Medellin at night were like a ghost town, so nobody went out after dark as it was too dangerous. But today, it's far from this in Medellin, and the city feels perfectly safe to me. It was quite interesting to learn the history surrounding the cartel and about Escobar. Enough of ...
Good food and drug lords
... cheap, he's a smart fellow would be interesting to have a beer with him and hear some real stories. As lots of the stories told on the tour had a bit of spin added to them for the benefit of Pablo and his brother.
We also went on another tour in Medellin but it was pretty rubbish, we were on a bus with old ***** looking at colonial towns which are nice but the tour guide was telling us useless facts like the ...
Sculptures & shopping
... late afternoon, I headed out to do some group food shopping with Els. With many having left the truck Els and I are the only two left of cook group 2. Shopping was quite easy, Els is amazing at cooking so I ran around after the ingredients she needed. With too many bags we got a taxi back to the hostel. As the taxi left the supermarket it headed in the wrong direction. We ended up heading back to the supermarket so we could direct him the few short blocks ...
"There's awful lot of coffee...."
... really interesting to see the difference between the two types of coffee farming. On the smaller ranch everything is done by hand and all the crop is sold through the local co-operative grading station which is where we headed next.
Taking the road back through Andes we pulled into a small factory unit with loading bays along the front. The loading of a very large pantechnicon was being completed and it pulled onto the weigh-bay to be weighed ...

The Nokia Lumia 900 represents a number of firsts: it is the first high-end Windows Phone from Nokia to arrive in the U.S., it is the first 4G LTE smartphone from Nokia, and it is one of the first 4G LTE Windows Phones on the market.
Like the Lumia 800 that preceded it, the Lumia 900 features stunning industrial design, great build quality, and a fantastic ClearBlack AMOLED display. Add in great network performance, solid battery life, and a fast and fluid user interface thanks to Windows Phone 7.5, and you start to see that Nokia really might have a winner on their hands.
Unfortunately, it's not all peaches and roses with the Lumia 900, as its seemingly capable camera does not live up to expectations in real world performance. Additionally, the Windows Phone Marketplace still doesn't offer nearly as many apps as its iOS and Android counterparts, though it has grown tremendously in recent months.
User Comments: 30
Got something to say? Post a comment-
Music Volume through the built-in speakers is EXTREMELY loud compared to other phones! Maybe TechSpot has only used some very rare phones with even better speakers, but the Lumia 900 is dang loud!
"the Windows Phone Marketplace still doesn't offer nearly as many apps as its iOS and Android counterparts".
Ummm, well of course not, look at the relative ages of the marketplaces.
Now that's a gorgeous phone. Just thinking which color to choose before buying.
I was going to say the exact same thing.
I got into the "number of apps" argument with an iPhone fanboy. This just angers me beyond belief. There are 80,000 apps for Windows Phone. So, you fools tell me how many apps you have on your device, why don't you? It's just stupid to whine about the number of apps. The important thing is NOT how many. The important thing is whether or not the platform has the specific apps you need. Don't aynone tell me there aren't enough apps for Windows Phone. And don't tell me it doesn't have apps you need unless you know for a FACT it doesn't. PERIOD.
The number of apps available on the marketplaces should never be used as a selling point or be used as a "this platform is better" point. Most of the apps on iOS and Android are useless farting apps, etc. or apps that duplicate functionality of other apps. Lets not forget that many apps have two versions, the paid and free versions. When it comes down to it, all platforms are probably fairly even when it comes to the number of actual high quality, useful, non-duplicated apps.
I agree to an extent what you are saying about the app stores comparison, absolute numbers tell us nothing, however Dan offered two good examples of high profile apps he likes to use but are unavailable on the Windows Phone platform: PayPal and Pandora.
Total app count is complete nonsense. You may install a few apps or several dozen apps in your phone, but never a thousand. The real difference is made by developers' focus on one platform or another. It's fairly evident Apple iOS maintains the upper hand in this regard. Most mainstream/popular services eventually land on two or three major mobile platforms (iOS, Android, WP/Blackberry/Other), and Microsoft seems to be taking all the right steps to become a big player here, but once again, developers more often than not come up with an iPhone app first.
Besides email and other basic smartphone functionality, two of my favorite third party apps (Chartbeat and Trillian) are still not available on WP. The former is iOS-only and the latter is also on Android and Blackberry. Because I rely on Chartbeat day in and day out to monitor website traffic, I decided against buying a Lumia 800 when I last upgraded my phone.
+1 on number of apps comments, what good is having lots of rubbish anyway?
Every OS/its ecosystem has some trade offs, e.g. iPhone users give up freedom, Android users give up security/consistency/stability, and WP users have to be content with some missing features, but its an OS with a beautiful UI. So examining each with this in mind could be more fruitful.
Also I've seen some sites comparing L900 with 4S/SGS II etc. which is not logical at all, as this phone isn't competing in the same space IMO, with this Nokia seems to be aiming at creating a segment of 'reasonably priced smartphones', which can't be bad at all especially for users with limited budgets.
By the way Nokia recently filed for an WP8 phone with 41MP camera and S4 (i.e. 1.5 GHz dual core Krait, Adreno 320 GPU) hand set, with HD CB-AMOLED screen. Hopefully WP8 will close all those gaps, hence making it a more compelling alternative as well.
Julio: I think MS needs take care of this and need to get all those important apps in market place, instead of just focusing on giving away money to developers to create new content for their ecosystem.
I will be grabbing one of these next month. Awesome looking phone.
i got my LG wireless phone and i got np but im really happy to see WP getting a good review cause it looks like a really solid phone first phone ill buy if nothing better comes out
I am in need of a Phone, though I don't use one alot this one looks pretty good. Id get GS:2 or an iPhone but they are bit tad more expensive, so might have to get this one. I am still rolling with some motorola with little antenna on top haha xD
Just looked at the price of the 900, £300 - £500 ... no thanks. Pretty much the price of GS2 or iPhones but the Nokia L 900 has single core CPU >.<
In case anyone needs Pandora on their windows phone, you have 2 options.
1. Just visit the website.
2. Check out "metroradio", which is just a 3rd party Pandora app, and works quite well. It's fully functional, letting you like or dislike songs, skip them, etc.
LAST.FM is free to windows phone users, just create an account.
its better than last.fm and has a better GUI.
It also doesnt limit how many times you can skip a song
I pray that Verizon gets this phone so that I can get it. :-) My HTC Trophy has been great, but I would love a larger screen and better camera which the Nokia Lumia 900 offers.
But with a WP7 phone u can just view such things without an app... just using the internet & the actual data you need. I understand an applet condences it nice & neat for you, but are you trying to suggest you didn't buy a phone because of a non-namebrand $0.99 app..?
When u could have all that website traffic info, as a real full blown web-page tiled into your start screen with live updates...?
(lol... the thought of a name brand .99 cent applet)
Thinking at the HTC One X quad, this comes pretty late at the market and it's kind of pricey, at least here in Europe.
Just go buy one if you are so in love with it. Have fun.
Now, while you guys do mention that Android doesn't have as many apps in this article pay attention to the tone of that article. Celebrating Android's swift growth in it's first year and a half.
Now windows have not even reached it's year and a half mark and is at 80k apps. But the outlook is always doom and gloom, instead of taking things at face value. Not saying you guys(read: the whole of tech sites) are intentionally being biased but why such a contrast between views?
Sorry, but the none replaceable battery and lack of a micro sd card slot are real deal breakers for me. I am a heavy user for both business and leisure, and I don't want to carry around one of those bulky portable chargers.
I'm probably the only one here that thinks the phone is ugly. I don't like the "corners", and I can't stand that the top and bottom are flat, with a weak speaker.
I like Windows Phone 7.5 very much, but I despise that blank area to the right of the tiles on the home screen.
Something with sharp, pointy corners is just what I want to put in my pants pocket.
I bought one for my wife and liked it so much I went back and replaced my iPhone 4 with it. However, we have had two issues in a row with her battery. Mine worked as advertised but I'm going back a second time to replace her phone again! Anyone else getting bad battery performance?
I would like to note that while Pandora does not have a specific app for the Windows platform, you can still log into your Pandora account using Radio Controlled and listen to your stations that way. The app runs incredibly smoothly, works similarly to the iPhone and Android Pandora apps. It's just not -called- Pandora. Just log in and all your stations made on Pandora are there.
Also a friendly reminder that streaming music while not in wifi and only on your respective carrier's network will make your data usage skyrocket and you'll be paying for overage charges probably after an hour of streaming. USE WIFI.
That is all.
I took advantage of the $100 credit nokia offered and upgraded my iphone 3gs to this phone. Wow what a difference it made. It kicks my old phone arse..lol. 4g is awesome and the phone performed without effort. I was worried about the app market since the salesman said it doesnt compare to the iphones. But I was able to download the same apps i used anyway only some were alternatives. I think only app hoarders would really dis it based on apps available vs iphones. Great phone. Glad to get out of apples eye.
i believe in the quality of nokia ,the only problem is the quantity of apps.
Agreed, the Nokia Lumia speakerphone is comparable to a desktop speakerphone. Outstanding for a small device. Best cell speakerphone I have ever had.
I also disagree with the review of the camara. In my opinion Lumia 900 takes fantastic pictures. I am on vacation at Disneyland and have used it as my tourist camera. Very good quality for a small camera.
The Lumia 900 wifi hotspot is also outstanding. I am using it with my iPad to write this review.
Kudos for this phone. I have owned an iPhone 3GS, a Google Nexus S and this device by far surpasses those two phones both in hardware, calles, and general Internet related tasks. It's also competitively priced.
Windows Phone Marketplace still doesn't offer nearly as many apps as its iOS and Android counterparts
Why oh why is this a measure of a good mobile OS? Quality vs quantity
iTunes has a million apps, the Android Market has a million more - but you know what? Most of those apps are garbage. I've burned through so many apps only to delete them a day or so later because they are just not that useful, they are riddled with ads, they are clearly not designed well... the list goes on. And these are the apps that I actually downloaded. When Google or Apple pull numbers of how many apps they have, they are including the "101 Sex Positions app" or the "6000 mixed drinks app" you get the idea...
The Windows platform is fantastically smooth, visual, and to the point! The way things are laid out, and the way they function is brilliant. This OS does not need as big a processor as Android because Microsoft has written such clean code, it's not bloated, just smooth. Just try one of these phones, YOU WILL LOVE IT!!! I'm staying with Windows.
Same. I have used my phone for a month now and absolutely love it. I have never ran out of battery even during heavy usage, but I do keep some of my notifications on manual. I prefer to check my email vs it checking for me. Reducing some of the background tasks makes a solid battery turn into superman.
The more I use the lumia 900 the sillier iphone and android look to me. I will say parts of the experience I love are the nokia apps, so I cant say that windows in and of itself > android/iphone, but with the nokia experience on the nokia phones I think its a solid winner.

this paper to do so. Nonetheless, it seems fairly clear that they have more of a pragmatic character than descriptive conventions. For example, a fairly universal demonstrative convention might be that people make true statements most of the time. This convention, if adhered to, can be enough to identify which situations are being described. Non-linguistic gestures and the mutual beliefs of speaker and hearer may also be relevant.

10 sick-day activities
Keep kids occupied until they feel better with these sick-day diversions
Blake Eligh 0
When kids get sick, they need rest, TLC and endless entertainment. These 10 ideas will make sure they get plenty of all three.
Movie madness
When they're well, we try to limit screen time, but sick days offer a rare chance for kids to doze away the day in front of the tube. Plug them into an old familiar favourite (so no one gets upset if they sleep through the good parts). Older kids might love retro fun flick The Princess Bride (which begins as a story read to sick-at-home kid). Bonus: you can dazzle your sickie with your ability to recite the movie from memory. A back-to-back Harry Potter-a-thon will magik away any multi-day illness. Little ones will like Toy Story, Cars or Strawberry Shortcake. Older kids might go for the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, Mean Girls, Holes or the Indiana Jones trilogy.
Beach party
Stuffed up kids will feel better with a little steam therapy, so haul out swim suits and snorkel masks for some deep-tub-diving. Add animals, bubbles, or souvenir seashells. Convert a plastic bottle into a boat. On dry land, put some surf rock on the stereo, don sunglasses and hats, and roll out beach towels for a picnic lunch in the living room. No sunscreen required.
Glam it up
Turn sick day into a spa day. Slather on flavoured lip balm (for chapped lips), don a lavender-scented sleep mask, and snuggle with a microwave-warmable heating pad. Glam up a boring box of tissues with stick-on gems or fancy stickers. A plain chicken soup lunch becomes fancy with good china, candles and cloth napkins. Flat ginger ale gets fancy with crazy straws or little umbrellas.
Picture it
Dig out old photo albums, the laptop or the iPad and tell your ailing kidlet about the good old days. Use a glue stick and a bag of googly eyes to create silly magazine or family photos, or jazz up dollar store photo frames with glitter, stickers and other add-ons.
Zoo keeper
Pull out all of your stuffed animals and make your kid Chief Zoo Keeper. Create habitats from boxes and look after the animals in your insta-zoo. Send a sniffly lion or feverish giraffe to the vet. Even better: pitch a blanket tent, grab some cardboard tube binoculars and go on safari in the living room.
Art attack
Collaborative drawing is a fun activity for kids of any age, especially if you've got more than one patient. Start with a squiggle and take turns adding to the line until the drawing is complete. Trace the sick kids' profile or entire body on a sheet of paper and let them colour it in. Older kids can take a roll of clear contact paper and some permanent markets, and trace pictures or draw freehand to create their own DIY removable vinyl stickers. Tweens can tie-dye a t-shirt with (drip-free!) permanent markers.
Write on
For low-key literary fun, get your little author to write a story on a simple book made of paper folded and stapled together. Start with a sentence and see where it goes. Write about a funny family anecdote or pen a silly love poem to the dog. Illustrate with drawings, stickers or snippets from magazines.
Book 'em
Whether they've got the sniffles or something more serious, a day reading in bed can be a precious luxury. Pick a picture book or chapter book and snuggle up together for a read-aloud break every hour or two.
Great books for wee ones:
A Sick Day For Amos McGee
Llama Llama Home With Mama
Bear's Loose Tooth
Katie Catches a Cold
The Quiet Book
New readers can try:
When Daddy Had the Chicken Pox
The Sick Day
Peter, The Knight With Asthma
Tweens can turn to a stash of manga, or superhero comics. For novels, try:
The Giant Slayer (which starts as a tale told to hospital-bound kids)
The Invention of Hugo Cabret
Teens might go for a classic like To Kill A Mockingbird, or math-related graphic novel The Number Devil .
Get sorted
Give little ones assorted objects—toys, dried pasta, beads or buttons—and have them sort into like piles of colours or shapes. Muffin tins or egg cartons will keep things organized. Little helpers can take on the unmatched socks basket. Big kids can pick through a jumbled toy bin for lost game pieces and other AWOL toys. Tweens can troll for treasure in the junk drawer or a costume jewelry box.
Get outside
If the illness is light, cabin fever has set in, or your kid is on the mend, getting outside can be a good attitude adjustment for everyone. Venture out for a hot chocolate at the coffee shop, or just take a short stroll around the block. It's amazing what a little fresh air and sunshine will do.
