Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I have two children at Greenberg -- a 5th grader and a 3rd grader. I can honestly say - that while I still have issues about snack sales at lunch and the lack of free-play recess during the day - my children are strong students and have had really wonderful teachers during their time at Greeneberg. There is definitely a committment to the arts and arts educaton. The music and art teachers are fantastic. The parent coordinator is a real gem. Parent volunteerism has increased and parents can be involved, but you have to create or seek out the opportunities and get involved. It would be nice if Home and School meetings had better attendance and if there were more volunteers at HSA events. But, most importantly, my kids really like going to school and that's the real measure. Greenberg is a safe and nurturing school, and I recommend it very highly.
This is an amazing school and it is primarily children that come from parents who are professionals. And that is what makes a difference at Greenberg. It has a majority career oriented and educated parents so they understand the importance of education for their children. Greenberg is a wonderful school in a Pine Valley neighborhood. There is a real sense of community at this school, which has very high academic achievment, ranking it at the top of Philadelphia elementary and middle schools. I attended this school in its early days and am proud to have my son attend now. My son started attending kindergarten this year and thus far my wife and I have been very impressed by the teachers and the exceptional parent involvement and support for the school.
Joseph Greenberg is an excellent school and it is a great feeder to the magnet High Schools e.g. Central, Masterman, etc. The teachers seem very caring and involved in teaching the students. I feel any child that goes to this school will get a quality education, as well as a diverse exposure to many different ethnic backgrounds. Every time I have tried to communicate with the teachers they have been receptive to my comments and welcome my involvement. My son graduated from Greenberg and Masterman, and got accepted to Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Joseph Greenberg was a great MS to help him get accepted. My eldest daughter is currently in 5th grade, and she loves the school. I highly recommend this school and plan to send my youngest daughter here.
I'm a proud parent of three children who attend Greenberg! What a great, positive experience my children are having at such a wonderful educational institution - they love the school. The administration and staff make this school an academic paradise. This school is very academic oriented and encourage my children to be their absolute best. Great teachers (bad ones don't last long) and high standards. Middle School is academically excellent.
This school is unlike your regular public school. My son, who attends Greenberg, is currently in first grade, and barely made it out of kindergarten. He is so stressed out by the work load of homework they give him, and the frequent testing that is almost everyday. I feel as though I am homeschooling my child, because It takes us 3 hours a day to do his homework, which is about 6-7 pages a day. Not your average homework for a first grader.
Excellent school for children in the gifted program. In fact, it's the all-day gifted program that gives this school it's high test scores. A decent school for non-gifted/average children, however, this is one of the worst schools for your child to attend if he/she has any type of learning disability, even a mild learning disability, or even just struggles in a subject area.
Greenberg has really helped my daughter achieve academically and improve her social skills. This is her 3rd year here and we have no complains. The teachers have been great! Unfortunately, it did not go well with my son .he has ADHD and Greenberg does not have the resources to help him, so we had to send him to a different school that did. It s a shame he can t attend his home school. We are really sad about that.
This school is great for helping your child reach their academic goals. The children receive various awards for all of their accomplishments and improvements. This school has a great computer and science programs, and great free after school club programs. Their is about 50% of parent involvement in this school which I believe contributes to a safe environment. There is room for improvement in the library,music, and art programs. Overall this is a wonderful school. I give thanks to all the teachers and staff for their continued efforts of excellence with the students of Greenberg.
I graduated from Greenberg in 2011. I currently attend Archbishop Ryan High School. It is in my opinion the best elementary school throughout the Philadelphia area. The teachers care about the students, and have high expectations for them. Academically, the school is an excellent place for any child. Greenberg not only helped me academically but it helped me in areas such as socially and emotionally. The school has an excellent Mentally Gifted program for high achieving students, and the teachers and staff are great. I couldn't be happier.
My son has attended this school for seven years. I have had opportunity to meet the majority of the staff and can honestly say I have not met one teacher who did not exude the utmost enthusiasm and authentic concern for their student's education. The principal is concerned with students and not PSSA scores. I feel everyone genuinely cares about my child. I highly recommend this school. I will truly miss this school once my son moves on to High School.
The negative review two posts below is obviously completely and utterly biased against Greenberg. Greenberg is a wonderful school with a warm and welcoming community. I am a recent graduate who is attending Penn Charter, in Philadelphia. I was constantly challenged at Greenberg to do my best while still having fun. Greenberg taught me the skills necessary to balance all my interests including sports, community service, work, and friends, along with academics.
There is good parent involvement and the school's location is great. I have a huge concern that the needs of special education students are not being met. If you have a special needs child you may want to consider other schools in Philadelphia.
Compared to many of the schools I've come into contact with, Joseph Greenberg school, is one of the best. That is why we chose to move up to Pine Valley, so that our children could benefit and experience all that the school and its teachers have to offer. My children are doing very well and we are very content and comfortable with the decision we made.
We were previously sending our children to a private Catholic school in Philadelphia, but were unhappy with the facilities, faculty, and overall program despite the tuition levels. Our children were not developing academically and socially as hoped. Since bringing our children to Greenberg School, they have thrived at all levels, quickly developing friendships, receiving tremendous support from all of the faculty and are much happier.
I have been very impressed with Greenberg and what it has done for my grandson, niece and nephew and many other local children. I feel it has a great family atmosphere and encurages family involvement. The success of this school is really a testament to the excellent teachers and administrators who have kept the school on course. The school has a great music program they put on a wonderful concert every year! Everyone is so kind and helpful! It's a fun and safe school and I just love it!
My children have been going to this school since the oldest was in first grade, he is now in 8th, and it is an amazing school. Is it perfect? No, but then again, what school is? My 6th and 8th grader are learning more advanced Science and Math than their high school aged cousins! This school is as good as it gets for our area. If you want to sit back and enjoy the ride think again about enrolling your kids here.
The school is great! Sound basics. Solid discipline. Strong communication. Being a military family, our kids have gone to a couple of different elementary schools. The school offers music, art, PE, computer and science labs as part of the curriculum. My 4th grader just attended an Honor Roll Award Ceremony at the school. The teachers send home progress reports as a way of communicating about your child's progress. The best part of the school is the Instrumental Music/Orchestra/Band program. It gets my children excited about attending school every day.
Greenberg School is a typical example of how a school can make the most of its resources. My daughter who is currently at Princeton, graduated from Greenberg and then was admitted to Central High School. My 14 year old is currently attending Julia R. Masterman High School, and my 11 year old is currently still enrolled at Greenberg. Greenberg has proven to be a more than sufficient launching pad for my two daughters. Greenberg is the launch pad to go anywhere you want to succeed. Staff at Greenberg are wonderful, starting from the first person you run into when go to the school. They care and educate the most precious things in our lives. It's a wonderful place to raise your children. There is a high level of parent involvement in the school.
Joseph Greenberg has dedicated, friendly teachers. There are many fun school events for students and families. Involved parents make it an enriching environment socially and academically. The principal is a very passionate about the kids. She believes in each and every child's potential and makes an effort to get to know each one by name. The school is located in beautiful, well-kept, family oriented neighborhood, parking is not generally an issue.
This is my daughter's first year in public school after our move from the catholic school system. My daughter loves Greenberg and her teachers. After talking with her teachers, I find them to be educated and motivated. My daughter told me her teachers make learning fun. She stated they are strict, however they are not mean. Great School!!

- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup mild-flavored (light) molasses
- 1 large egg

PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 350°. Melt butter in a 10-inch (as measured across the bottom) cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet; set aside. Whisk flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, and baking powder in a medium bowl.
Whisk molasses, egg, ginger, and 1/4 cup sugar in a large bowl. Whisk in sour cream, then milk. Gradually whisk in dry ingredients, then 3 tablespoons melted butter from skillet. Set aside.
Place 1 apple on a work surface stem up. Cut a large piece of apple from 1 side, leaving core behind. Rotate apple and repeat twice for a total of 3 large pieces (a triangular core will remain). Repeat with remaining apples.
Add remaining 1/4 cup sugar to butter in skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until sugar begins to caramelize, 2-3 minutes. Add apples; stir to coat. Cook apples rounded sides down for 3 minutes, then turn over and cook flat sides down until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes longer. Space apples evenly in skillet flat side down and pour cake batter over.
Transfer skillet to oven. Bake until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, 30-40 minutes.
Let cake cool in skillet for 10 minutes, then carefully invert onto a plate. Serve cake warm or at room temperature.

If you want more control while you're out of the house, use timers and programmable devices.
[This message has been edited by rpxlpx (edited January 17, 2001).]
I frankly think you are over-thinking the problem. Heat from normal light bulbs or fans really is not a problem, even if you are away. Also, reading lights should be BRIGHTER than normal lights, not dimmer (the "dim but enough to read by" comment). Reading under low lighting conditions strains your eyes and adds to any eye problems. Thus, specially-marketed "reading" bulbs/lamps are brighter, not dimmer.
The only advantage I can think of with low voltage lights is that they just have fewer Code restrictions (because of the lower voltage) and are thus more flexible than full voltage lighting; that's the only benefit. They also can use smaller filaments, and thus smaller bulbs, thereby creating a different "look:" pinpoint halogen lights instead of big honkin' incandescents. I plan to install them in my Kitchen to create a more contemporary look.

"It is better to be too skeptical then too credulous"
Carl Sagan
Theres a big problem with this thread and its the mixed examples. Gasoline and water are both subsidized in someway by taxpayers. They might as well be considered controlled substances because of the governments involvement in getting them to the market. Ammunition is like any other commercial grade commodity.
Walmart has become a distributor of ammunition by default because they buy so dam much of it. They get a great price for volume and can sell it for less than most small time dealers can. Are they cornering the market? Yeah probably, but they don't control the supply of ammunition any more than they do paper towels. You want away around it? Get with your buddy, find a deal for ammo online, split the cost and stock up.
Its called, supply and demand,,, if nobody buys the ranges marked up prices then they'll be forced to back them down. Other than that get your own supply. Capitalism 101....

Blogging Tips: Decide between Tumblr and Blogger
Bloggers who use simple web interfaces to publish their content are split into two major factions: the Blogger team and the Tumblr team. They could not be more different in their design, posting style and promotion tactics. If you want to start a blog but don't know which platform to use, first decide what the focus of your blog will be: Writing? Images? Curating others' content? Do you want an informative blog and write about restaurants, traveling or technology? Or do you want something a little more creative, focused on images?
Let's explore the head-to-head pros and cons of Blogger and Tumblr for the aspiring blog editor. Read More

Princess Cruises and Holland America Line have joined forces to donate $1 million to the University of Alaska Foundation. The gift will provide funding in three main areas: research and education critical to the health of the sea; training programs that prepare Alaskans for the tourism and hospitality industry; and scholarships that support Alaskans seeking higher education at the University of Alaska.
Princess Cruises and Holland America Line, the two largest tour operators in Alaska, approached the University this spring with a desire to collaborate with the Foundation in a way that bolstered the state's tourism industry. Together, the two lines employ nearly 3,500 people during the summer season and support more than 1,000 businesses in Alaska.
While details are still being solidified, the $1 million commitment by the cruise lines will fund several areas including an oceanographic research vessel, marine education, a renovation of the current culinary and hospitality training facilities, and scholarships aimed at those wishing to pursue technical, business, and hospitality degrees.
The donation builds upon previous gifts by both cruise lines. In 2009, Princess Cruises donated $100,000 to the university's Marine Advisory Program (MAP) and in the early 1990s Holland America Line donated $15,000 as seed money for a study that showed the need for a Culinary Arts & Hospitality program to support Alaska's burgeoning tourism business.

Ted Kennedy Jr. considering potential run to replace John Kerry?
**Written by Doug Powers
There's a good chance John Kerry will be nominated to become the next secretary of state, and many names have been floated as to who on the Democratic side would run to replace Kerry in a special election (Scott Brown would likely run on the GOP side, and he's polling well against all likely Dems).
As always, whenever a congressional seat from Massachusetts is potentially opening up, the name of a Kennedy is thrown into the mix. In this case, Ted Kennedy, Jr:
Simas' name comes as national Democrats ramped up their bid today to get Edward M. Kennedy Jr. to run in an effort to bring a big name into the race. The Herald's Truth Squad first reported on Monday that the 51-year-old was considering running after several insiders urged him to get in.
One source told the Herald that Democrats are concerned that the current field of potential Senate candidates, including U.S. Rep. Edward Markey and U.S. Rep Michael Capuano, would face an uphill battle in a race against departing Republican U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, who is expected to run again if Kerry leaves.
Ted Kennedy Jr. would have the clout and financial ability to compete against Brown, some Democrats believe.
Last month, Joe Kennedy III won the race to replace Barney Frank, and the family is jonesing to re-stock government with Kennedys. However, Ted Jr. has just one problem:
The biggest obstacle for EMK Jr. is that he lives in Connecticut and would probably have to fix that before running for Senate across the border. But he could be an unbeatable candidate in a state where the Kennedy name and bloodline is one of the most powerful assets a politician can have.
Ted Kennedy Jr. has never closed the door to the possibility of a congressional career, telling USA Today in 2009, "Maybe I'll run for public office. I haven't crossed that bridge yet."
No, I did not make up that quote. Errah…

Amy Herzog's 4000 Miles
November 21st – December 7th, 2014
PTP is proud to present Amy Herzog's 4000 Miles. After suffering a major loss while on a cross-country bike trip, 21 year-old Leo seeks solace from his grandmother Vera in her small apartment. Over the course of a single month, these unlikely roommates infuriate, bewilder, and ultimately reach each other. 4000 Miles looks at how two outsiders find their way in today's world. Herzog's dramatic comedy was a 2013 Pulitzer Prize Finalist for Drama and the winner of the 2012 Obie Award for Best New Play. Prospect's production is directed by PTP veteran David Barbaree, and features Karen Olsen, Dain Morrison, Nicole Brown and Roni Espinoza
"A funny, moving, altogether wonderful drama. [A] heartening reminder that a keen focus on life's small moments can pay off in a big way onstage." -The New York Times
"Amy Herzog['s] fine, deeply affecting dual character study… Although 4000 Miles makes one think of a first-rate novella, it is solidly theatrical. 4000 Miles is the sort of rich, satisfying play you should take your grandmother to — especially if she's as smart and fierce as Vera." – Time Out New York

Review: Joy Formidable roars again on 'Wolf's Law'
Associated Press
(AP) - The Joy Formidable, "Wolf's Law" (Atlantic)
Two years after The Joy Formidable barreled to the fringe of the rock mainstream with the lush and brute "The Big Roar," the Welsh trio returns with an even bigger and squalling encore. "Wolf's Law" is the arrival of a headliner.
It's a deserved reward. This is wonderfully noisy and hooky, shimmering with guitar-pop accessibility. So what if standouts such as "Maw Maw Song" and the whirlwind "Bats" have the nagging feeling of sounding familiar- maybe a head-bopper from the alt-rock heyday of the `90s or another Brit rocker making massive songs for arenas like touring mates Muse. In the voice and guitar-hammering hands of frontwoman Ritzy Bryan, surprises (usually loud ones) are around every corner.
In the opener "This Ladder is Ours," Bryan begins with an inviting "Let's take this walk/It's long overdue." She isn't kidding. Where was an exciting rocker like this in 2012, and how soon before we can have another?

What answer will you give with this question?
What answer will you give with this question?
How about living in a world that does not involve violence against women alone in the street?
You may already know that the word "pants" means something else entirely in British English (hint: it doesn't mean "trousers"), but do you know about the words that both British and American English speakers use, yet spell differently?
A basic rule of the thumb that covers these words is that American English spelling tends to be simplified and pronunciation-based. While British English favors the spelling of words as they originally appeared in the language they've been borrowed from – for instance, the word "cheque" – American English spellers generally write the word as they sound it out: "check."
Writers, exchange students, and businessmen and businesswomen need to be aware of these spelling differences when dealing with people in Britain and the US, because using the proper spelling for each country helps avoid confusion, and also lends that touch of professionalism that marks a true global citizen.
Here are the main spelling differences between American and British spelling of English words.
Words that end in –re in Britain often have those two letters reversed when spelled in American English. Here are some examples:
British English
centre, fibre, litre, theatre
American English
center, fiber, liter, theater
While the British use the –nce ending, Americans generally prefer –nse.
American English
defense, license, offense, pretense
British English
defence, licence, offence, pretence
American English uses the –ize spelling at the end of words, and while some people in Britain accept that as a valid spelling, you'll usually see those same words spelled with the –ise ending instead.
British English
apologise, organise, recognise
American English
apologize, organize, recognize
In British English, the preferred spelling of words ending in –our is not maintained in American English; in the United States, the "u" is dropped from the word.
American English
behavior, color, humor, labor, neighbor, flavor
British English
behaviour, colour, humour, labour, neighbour, flavour
Double vowels "ae" and "oe"
While the British retain the more complex spelling of words with Greek or Latin roots, using the orthodox spelling that was established when those words were brought into the English language as far back as the 14th and 15th centuries, the Americans, as usual, like their terminology simplified.
American English
British English
Words ending in a vowel plus –l
While Americans have dropped the double "l" when adding suffixes to verbs that end in the letter "l" the British still generally use the two-"l" approach to their spelling.
American English
British English
The rules can be confusing, especially for people who are learning English as a second language. Which system you choose often depends on where you're learning English. Obviously, if you're learning English in the United States, you will be taught that orthography, but if you are learning English in India, you will generally be taught the British spelling. Wherever you are, keep in mind that more often than not, the American spelling of words is a simplified version that is closer to how a word sounds rather how it was spelled in the language it has been borrowed from.
Knowing the spelling rules and differences will help you learn the spelling exceptions, too. For instance, archaeology is a spelling that's used by English teachers and scientists in both American and British universities. Keep digging around, and you'll find more exceptions – and that's a hard and fast rule.

It's Time To Act On our Watch.
Guardian Princess Alliance: A New Generation of Princesses
We tend to associate spelling practice with young children who are struggling to understand why the English language is not written like it's pronounced, but the truth is, a person in any age group can improve – and should improve – their spelling skills.
Spelling bees are not an event reserved for schoolchildren. There are plenty of spelling bee competitions for adults taking place around the globe — proof that spelling is both loved and seen as fun by many people, no matter how old they are.
This summer, the 11th annual Great Grown-Up Spelling Bee was held in the city of Opelika, Alabama. In this spelling bee competition, teams of spellers competed against each other for a good cause: raising money for the literacy needs of Lee County. Apart from raising money and showing people how they can help the Lee County Literacy Coalition, the spelling bee allowed people to flaunt their spelling skills in a fun and adrenaline-boosting way.
The Opelika Spelling Bee is not the only adult-aimed competition in the United States. Senior spelling bees are also quite popular in many regions. Although not as well known as the Scripps National Spelling Bee, the Senior Spelling Bee allows people over the age 50 to compete against one another in the pursuit of the Senior Spelling Bee Champion title.
This summer the Senior Spelling Bee competition was held in Knoxville, Tennessee. The champion was an English Professor, Lauren Matz from Olean, New York.
Ms. Matz had to correctly spell out words such as "sullage," "iridescence," and "harmattan" to win the title. An interesting ranking of the 2014 National Senior Spelling Bee is that a couple, David and Nancy Mullard, won the second and third place prizes.
Official and unofficial spelling bee events remind us that spelling is an integral part of everyday communication. Spelling is omnipresent. We understand its importance when our autocorrect messes up our text messages, when our editor flags our misspellings, and when we have trouble spelling a last name that seemed to be so simple to spell when we heard it pronounced.
Improving your spelling can be a fun activity. Don't think that spelling has to be a boring chore you need to get through quickly. Several spelling games and apps available in software or on line can help you improve on your orthography skills in a way that feels more like play and less like learning.
No matter your age, there's a game or fun spelling activity you can engage with today, and improve your spelling performance right away. Just think of all the fancy words you'll be able to spell correctly, and impress everyone!

Unless you're a ferociously passionate language user, chances are you've used a similar sounding word instead of the appropriate one, and more than once. How many times in the last week did your Word editor flagged your errors when you confused "its" and "it's" or "their" and "there"? Worse, what if your computer editor didn't catch them at all?
What is a homophone?
A homophone is a word that is pronounced the same way as another word, but has a different meaning. This means that words like "to", "two", and "too" are homophones. We pronounce them the same, yet their meanings are completely different.
It's not just simple words that get confused. The words "queue" and "cue" have a different spelling and meaning, but they too can be confused when you're touch typing quickly and you're already deep into your post-snack afternoon slump.
Why so much hate on homophones?
The English language has borrowed words from so many languages and cultures that it has become a very confusing and often unpredictable language to learn. "Tea" and "tee" are semantically different, but it's unbelievably easy to swap one for the other in writing.
This is why people can get upset when homophones cause them problems. Homophones are little language bandits that steal away your thunder. Your writing will never be flawless because they're bound to ruin it, you think. The thing is they're embarrassingly good at it – but you can be better.
How to master homophone usage
The only foolproof solution to ban homophone misuse from your writing once and for all is to improve your writing skills.
Homophones, as we said above, are little bandits that wait for exhaustion to kick in to make their move and sneak into your writing. This means the best thing you can do is to equip yourself with the linguistic knowledge you need to avoid them, or at least spot them when they creep in.
Revisit your elementary school years and practice your spelling and vocabulary skills. There's no shame in trying to become a competent language user, no matter how old you are.
When learning new words, ensure you master both their spelling and their meaning.
It's not enough to know how a word is pronounced, because chances are you're going to confuse "keys" with "quays" at some point.
By properly learning a word's orthography and meaning you are instantly minimizing the chances of confusing homophones in your writing. This will ensure that you avoid the always-awkward situation of having to explain yourself to your editor or manager. Yikes.
Practice your language skills with spelling games and even with spelling software. Good software will help you brush up on your language skills and give you a the tools you need to write clearly and proofread your writing afterward. Remember, "Ceiling the deal" is not an acceptable phrase any way you look at it.

People love – and hate – hashtags. These linkable words in your tweets are the best way to lead people to your posts by using concepts and words you're playing with in your Tweets and posts.
By putting a hashtag in front of a word, as in #summerfestivals, you'll make it easy for people to click on this hashtag to quickly access a newsfeed of tweets that pertain to summer festivals – including your own posts and tweets.
Once they started to be widely used, it soon became evident how crucial hashtags are for brands and companies. Social media professionals learned to use hashtags' searchability to boost brand awareness and create trending topics around their products and services. This technique is especially useful when it's done in combination with something called "newsjacking."
Take for example Germany's recent World Cup victory. Adidas Football tweeted this message after Germany's victory: "There's only one way to win a #WorldCup: #allin http://youtu.be/ApphNxn3dhs". By using this breaking news to link to the company's website and news feed, Adidas Football made sure they were keeping the corporate brand in everyone's mind, with a simple tweet that looks like a timely message of support and congratulations to the German national football team, rather than the advertising and brand messaging that it actually is.
Marketing moves like this are frequently applied by social media professionals, because they generate more followers and build wider recognition for brands.
Getting your timing right and linking to intriguing content are two important ingredients to make hashtags work for you. Needless to say, hashtags need to be properly spelled. Despite the lack of space between words, the spelling of those words needs to be correct in order for your hashtag to actually participate in the trending topic you're trying to be part of.
If you accidentally write #greatful instead of #grateful, don't expect much of an engagement with it, at least not connected to the topic you were aiming for.
Twitter is meant to be a place for witty, interesting ideas and conversations, and if you bring your corporate, serious voice to it, you are likely to drive new fans and existing clients away. Speak in your target demographics' voice; speak in a language they use and understand. On the other hand, you need to avoid sounding like you're trying to be too hip or too urban, as it might sound exaggerated and fake. Keep the conversations casual with simple, direct language.
A/B Testing With Hashtags
The great thing about hashtags is that they allow you to try out different key concepts related to your brand. See what the most important and relevant keywords for your company are and play around with them on Twitter through hashtags.
Next, see how much and how frequently people are responding and engaging with each version, how many new followers you get thanks to them, and how your overall community reacts to them. If a keyword has too much competition, try out a different one with a different focus. Once you find the ones that engage your followers and create conversation, ensure you also integrate them in other social media related activities, including your landing page, your blogs, and your website.
Hashtags are a great way to take advantage of trending topics or create your very own viral topic that everyone will talk about on social media.

Grigg's poor reasoning
Mr. Grigg builds his argument on faulty premises.
First, we can look at the faulty argument that accepting money predicated on an allocation system one doesn't believe best as tantamount to, I guess he's saying, hypocritical at best and treason at worst. Such an argument would mean that any unhypocritical, untreasonous citizen should never call 911 if they live in a jurisdiction that receives federal funds. Nor should such parents send their children to public schools, or drive on public roads -- or allow themselves to use any unconstitutional government benefit. It's silly. It defines the hypocrite or untrustworthy as anyone who isn't living in a van down by the river. (Even that guy is probably gets some positive extranality from the federal tax dollar at work.)
I thought Ron Paul dealt with this faulty logic quite well in an interview last year. When asked why he adds requests for federal projects in his district into the omnibus bill despite that he always votes against the bill in final form, he said that the current system takes federal tax dollars from folks in his district with the understanding that some of it will come back to them. This is the system, and, although he doesn't like it, he is representing his constituents as best he can within this flawed system. To do otherwise would cheat his district out of part of their federal tax dollars. It's the old you play the hand you're dealt -- even while working to change the rules of the game.
Mr. Grigg, apparently, does not respect Paul's philosophy here. Nor does he seem to comprehend the real world of real people in the fray, struggling for the more just outcome. I see he writes a blog and does a radio program. In other words, he just says stuff; he doesn't contend with the messy middle where real people, like Dr. Paul, attempt to navigate the less-than-ideal and drive toward something better.
Second, his assumption that taking something from the "enemy" -- equates to being in the enemy's pocket. You can bet that folks who think this way do so only because they ARE THIS WAY. Mr. Grigg may not be able to stand up to any man who shoves a nickle in his hand...um, but the majority of people can and do every day.
"If you take the nickel, you take the noose," Mr. Grigg writes. (This is, in fact, the fulcrum on which his argument swings.) I'm not sure in what sort of world such a statement would be true, but I'm quite sure it isn't mine. So Rep. Paul, who has taken many nickles from the Federal Government, has taken the noose? So has every citizen who has taken social security, sent their child to public school, used the services of anyone who has taken a federal college grant or loan -- or done so themselves -- lived in a home mortgaged through Freddy or Fanny. The list goes on. His argument is absurd.
Third, he forgets that sheriffs, by and large, are elected throughout this country. He wants to poke at sheriffs because they aren't his readers/listeners while ignoring the people who elect them.
"There isn't a single county sheriff's office in the country that hasn't compromised itself by accepting federal funds, and collaborating in unconstitutional federal enforcement operations. They've long since lost their innocence, but are pretending that they've just noticed that fact."
Let's see how that would play if he put in the correct noun.
There isn't a single voter in the country who hasn't compromised himself by refusing to vote for sheriffs who make it a campaign issue to refuse federal funds. Voters collaborate in unconstitutional federal enforcement operations by not making this a top priority in the voting booth. Citizens/voters have long since lost their innocence, but are pretending that they've just noticed that fact.
Ah, but who among his blog and radio audience would wish to be condemned with the same brush he reserves for sheriffs? Mr. Grigg knows his audience would rather point elsewhere, and so he gives them a finger. It's them. It's always some other them. Comfy.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
Jorge Mario Bergoglio, born December 17, 1936 is the newly elected pope of the Roman Catholic Church. Taking the regnal name of Francis, after St. Francis of Assisi Bergoglio served as an Argentine cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. Serving as the Archbishop of Buenos Aires since 1998, he was elevated to the cardinalate in 2001. He is the first pope to come from the Americas.

Published in Living Faith
Keywords: Jorge Mario Bergoglio, new pope, Argentina, Francis I
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Born in Buenos Aires, Bergoglio was one of the five children of an Italian railway worker and his wife. After studying at the seminary in Villa Devoto, he entered the Society of Jesus in 1958. Bergoglio taught literature and psychology at the Colegio de la Inmaculada in Santa Fe, and the Colegio del Salvador in Buenos Aires. He was ordained to the priesthood on December 13, 1969, by Archbishop Ram�n Jos� Castellano. Bergoglio attained the position of novice master there and became professor of theology.
The Society of Jesus, impressed with his leadership skills, promoted Bergoglio where he served as provincial for Argentina from 1973 to 1979.
He then transferred in 1980 to become the rector of the seminary in San Miguel where had had studied, serving in that capacity until 1986. He completed his doctoral dissertation in Germany and returned to his homeland to serve as confessor and spiritual director in C�rdoba.
Bergoglio succeeded Cardinal Quarracino on February 28, 1998. He was concurrently named ordinary for Eastern Catholics in Argentina, who lacked their own prelate. Pope John Paul II summoned the newly named archbishop to the consistory of February 21, 2001 in Vatican City and elevated Bergoglio with the papal honors of a cardinal. He was named to the Cardinal-Priest of Saint Robert Bellarmino.
As cardinal, Bergoglio was appointed to several administrative positions in the Roman Curia. He served on the Congregation of Clergy, Congregation of Divine Worship and Sacraments, Congregation of Institutes of Consecrated Life and the Congregation of Societies of Apostolic Life. Bergoglio became a member of the Commission on Latin American and the Family Council.
As Cardinal, Bergoglio became known for personal humility, doctrinal conservatism and a commitment to authenti social justice. A simple lifestyle has contributed to his reputation for humility. Living in a small apartment, he eschews the typical palatial bishop's residence. He gave up his chauffeured limousine in favor of public transportation, and reportedly cooks his own meals.
Upon the death of Pope John Paul II, Bergoglio, considered papabile himself, participated in the 2005 papal conclave as a cardinal elector, the conclave that selected Pope Benedict XVI.
In November 8, 2005, Bergoglio was elected President of the Argentine Episcopal Conference for a three-year term (2005-2008) by a large majority of the Argentine bishops, which according to reports confirms his local leadership and the international prestige earned by his alleged performance in the conclave. He was reelected on November 11, 2008.
Bergoglio is an accomplished theologian who distanced himself from liberation theology early in his career. He is thought to be close to Comunione e Liberazione, a conservative lay movement.
Cardinal Bergoglio has invited his clergy and laity to oppose both abortion and euthanasia.
Among his teachings and stands, he strongly affirms church teaching on the intrinsic immorality of homosexual practices, though he teaches the importance of respecting homosexual persons. He strongly opposed legislation introduced in 2010 by the Argentine Government to give legal equivalency between true marriage and homosexual partners. He has also insisted that adoption by homosexuals is a form of discrimination against children.
His doctrinal orthodoxy emphasizes Christ's mandate to love: he is well remembered for his 2001 visit to a hospice, in which he washed and kissed the feet of twelve AIDS patients.
His tenure has been marked with controversy. On April 15, 2005, a human rights lawyer filed a criminal complaint against Bergoglio, accusing him of conspiring with the junta in 1976 to kidnap two Jesuit priests, whom he, as superior of the Society of Jesus of Argentina in 1976, had asked to leave their pastoral work following conflict within the Society over how to respond to the new military dictatorship, with some priests advocating a violent overthrow. Bergoglio's spokesman has flatly denied the allegations. No evidence was presented linking the cardinal to this crime.

Mommy talk?
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 02-17-2010 - 10:17am
Ladies, I've been wanting to start this thread for some time now.
I don't know if you feel the same, but sometimes I feel the need to talk with adults about general stuff... not only baby stuff!
We have the baby update thread to talk about our babies and their progress, here we can talk about everything else. Of course, since we are moms, there will be a lot about our kids, but they won't be the center of the thread.
Also, I suppose it will be a really slow thread, none of us has much time to post. But I hope it goes on even if slowly.
I'll start:
I think I've finally adjusted to having my baby at home after the NICU. We are back on a routine and I feel more like myself again.
What worries me right now is the relationship between DH and I. It's not like we are fighting or anything. It's just that it seems we are parents... and not lovers anymore. I mean, we don't spend time "just for the two of us". It's always about the baby, or work, or financial issues. And it sucks! I've tried to talk about it with him, but he doesn't seem to feel like there is anything wrong!! I suppose it has to do with the way our own parents were. My parents tried to find time for their relationship, going on dates and finding time during the day to talk. His parents live through their children and I've noticed that by now they are almost scared to go out alone as a couple. I suppose they can't find what to talk about...
Another thing is our sex life. Between the baby, his work and life in general we are really exhausted. And when we are in the mood, baby is asleep, we are not tired and the planets are aligned....... it hurts so much that it feels awful!!!! I got some advice in the sex thread I posted, but it sucks that the only think I can do is "give it time and patience"!!!!
On a brighter note, we are just about to buy our dream lot! Finally there is still some paperwork left to do, but I think it is a matter of days. I'll try to post pictures soon!

Jay- I was the same way. I fit into a pair of pre pregnancy clothes 6 days after I had him. I wasn't able to fit into my jeans however until about 6 weeks. Of course now i am gaining some of that back since I have been eating like a pig to keep up with breastfeeding and somedays I know I don't eat as healthy as I should. However I didn't gain a whole lot either. I lost about 30 pounds and I am happy with that. I am trying to eat more healthy now so I can lose the few that I gained. I still have the flab and I swear I am going to get on my Wii fit one of these days (if my son would let me).
I had to buy a dress for a funeral this week and a lot of stuff is form fitting and it showed my gut so I know where you are coming from. But as long as I am not wearing something like that I am fine. ALthough I must say it was a shocker as I have never really had big breasts before ( I was a C cup before) but clothes definately fit me differently now that I am breastfeeding.
Ella- My hair is falling out too. I try and brush it and there is a ton of it. I also find it all over my son. I think it is normal with the hormones as you don't lose any during pgcy. At least that is what I read.
Anyone having bladder issues? it is getting better but I had the issue of going to the bathroom all the time and sometimes when I went I would have to go 2 min later. I then read in my baby book that giving birth can sometimes screw up your bladder. I am hoping it is getting back to normal, or otherwise I will ask my dr when I go at the end of next month.
|Tue, 03-30-2010 - 1:11pm
Ella, didn't anyone warn you about postpartum hair loss?!?! I had it from 3-7 months. I remember being in the shower the first time I went back to the gym and it was coming out in handfuls.
It does stop. And new hair does grow in. The bad news is that you end up with this new layer of short hair all over your head. It's driving me nuts!

|Tue, 03-30-2010 - 10:14pm
Here's a good article about the whole thing:
|Thu, 04-08-2010 - 2:30pm
All I can think of is that maybe it has something to do with my dear cat disapearing. I remember when my other cat went missing I cried rivers, even if she wasn't my favorite. Now, I can't cry or really think about it properly, it's like I just brush the thought with my mind,and move on. Maybe it is too painful or something, but I feel like I'm repressing it.
Another theory is that maybe I'm ready to leave the house a bit more and do other things. For the past months I've been most of the time at home, being a SAHM. Yesterday I went to a lecture (about plants)and it felt sooooooo good to be using my brain again!
Well, as you see, I mostly wanted to vent. I've always been super scared of depression (a relative killed himself when I was little), and every time I feel down I tend to panic and over analize it.
|Thu, 04-08-2010 - 3:52pm
I'm really sorry about your cat, Mari. And it must be really tough at a time you don't really have the energy to process or grieve.
And the postpartum period really messes with your brain chemicals and moods anyway. I always have a worse time when I'm stuck in the house with the baby. Do you get out much at all? Are there any playgroups or new mom support groups you could try going to?
Also, I don't know if you have any access to counseling resources, either through your doctor or your church or something? It might be helpful to sit down with someone a couple times and just think through how you're feeling and get your emotions out there.
Of course, you're always free to just share with us :)

When Joe said that Autism won't kill you and that scientists had it, he wasn't being disrespectful, he was just trying to put things into perspective. Yes, Autism is a serious learning and communication condition, yes it's a struggle, and it can be heartbreaking, but it's not a fatal disease. Thank God! There is a huge difference between caring for a child with cancer or kidney disease and caring for a child with Autism. We have other friends, like our friends at NephCure who we see all the time, who aren't as lucky. Kidney disease can kill you. Cancer can kill you. God willing, Nicholas will get better and grow up to have a healthy, normal life. Maybe even be a scientist! Whoever knows my husband knows he's not malicious. Jacqueline and Chris, you know Joe would never mean anything bad about Nicholas. He has a special place in both of our hearts.
So back to the retreat... I was really nervous especially when everyone arrived and it seemed like everyone except Rosie really didn't want to be there. I could tell their hearts were not open and it broke mine. I wondered why they even came at all.
I thought the team builders were adorable, and they did get us trusting and laughing pretty quickly. But then it went downhill. I finally had my brother face-to-face for the first time in a year, and all I wanted to do was get him to believe me over Jacqueline. That was my "blood over water" speech, I wasn't talking about Melissa. P.S. When I joked about ghosts in the castle and said we had a "witch" coming, I was also talking about Jacqueline, not Melissa. Not nice, I know, but I was upset, it was a joke, and Jacqueline wasn't joking with her rants about me on Twitter... Put yourself in my shoes. I don't think it's the worst thing I could have said.

Believe it or not, in the House of Mo, a lowly pink Sony Ericsson W595, a feature phone that was released in late 2008, is the family mascot. You would probably have expected one of the more powerful devices that I have used over the years to have this honour. But, no; the honour goes to this pink feature phone.
The Sony Ericsson W595 first arrived the House of Mo in 2009 when I purchased it for my wife as a birthday gift. From that time till July 2010, it stayed in her service till it was replaced and I decided to keep it for backup use. The W595 might be an old horse, but it had game all the way to the end. During its life in service, this classic beauty offered 3.5G (HSDPA), Bluetooth tethering (which worked with the playbook), Bluetooth 2.0, FM Stereo, an external memory slot and a 3.2 megapixel camera, among others. Don't forget that this was a 2008 device. Replace the traditional keypad with a larger touchscreen and the W595 would stand its ground in today's world.
It also offered an email client that supported POP/IMAP protocols, meaning that accessing my mails (including Gmail) on it was a breeze. Perhaps the area in which the W595's age began to tell the most was with the browser. Here, we had the old Netfront browser, which falls behind quite a bit when compared to what is available on current devices. Of course, the 2.2-inch display didn't help with that.
Eventually, I assigned it to duties as the house phone. It was an instant hit with the kids. For starters, it was pink!! Secondly, it had a very good audio player (Walkman 3.0) and loudspeaker. The kids would play music on it at all opportunities. The built-in collection of games was also something that Boy Mo spent a lot of time with. The phone still has fun photos and videos taken by either of them, especially of Girl Mo trying out her modelling skills. Consider also that whenever Daddy Mo and Mummy Mo called home, this was the beauty that rang and kept them connected, you can only begin to imagine the bond that the children have with the pink W595.
But in this world, every good story always has an end. Some weeks back, the hangup button on the Sony Ericsson W595 began to misbehave. Then a few other buttons joined in and it became unusable. It was time to retire the Sony Ericsson W595. I fondly call it the Pink Lady. Now, it has joined my Palm Pre in my collection of junk phones. Both of them work, but the battery of the Pre is so dead that it drains in 15 minutes, and the W595 is just a pain to use because of the unresponsive buttons.
What's the next mobile mascot of the House of Mo going to be? I don't know. We shall have to see what phone hangs around long enough in the family use to become so loved and treasured as the Sony Ericsson W595 was. Four years is no joke.
