WOONSOCKET – As the declaration period opens Monday for candidates seeking statewide office, Mayor Lisa-Baldelli Hunt announced that she's endorsed all of the incumbents in the House of Representatives – Rep. Stephen Casey (D-Dist. 50, Woonsocket), Rep. Michael Morin (D-Dist. 49, Woonsocket) and Rep. Robert Phillips (D-Dist. 51, Woonsocket, Cumberland).
"The three House members have been very responsive to the needs of the city and have been working hard on behalf of our citizens to bring state relief that is so badly needed," said Mayor Baldelli-Hunt, a member of the House for seven years before being elected mayor last November. "They have been extremely cooperative with me and have delivered very necessary funding to help our citizens."
Baldelli-Hunt said the state budget enacted with the support of the House lawmakers contains the "final piece of funding" to revitalize World War II Veterans Memorial State Park, a multi-million-dollar project she initiated several years ago. Baldelli-Hunt secured more than $2 million to commence reconstruction of the park as a lawmaker, but the three representatives "made certain the new budget contains the necessary money to allow the project to begin and for the City of Woonsocket to support the park's operations."
Full story appears on page A1 of Monday's Call and Monday's Times.

Twitter for Windows 8, Windows RT now in the Windows Store
Summary: Twitter's native client for Windows 8 and Windows RT is available for download, as of March 13.
One of the biggest shortcomings of Windows 8 and Windows RT has been the lack of fully-functioning Twitter clients for the product.
There have been a few different options, including my Windows 7 Twitter-client favorite, MetroTwit, that have debuted for Microsoft's latest operating system. But in my opinion, none of them has worked very well -- for a variety of reasons.
On March 13, Twitter announced the promised native Twitter client for Windows 8 and Windows RT was available for free in the Windows Store. Here's thedownload link.
The new app includes built-in support for the Windows Share charm, Search charm, Snap view and Live tiles notifications. Here's hoping (as I'm downloading it) that it's good.
If it's not, I've found the Web version of Tweetdeck to be OK.
Twitter recently updated its native Windows Phone 8 client.
I'm curious what other Windows 8 and Windows RT users have found to work for them in terms of Twitter clients.

Click after the jump for links and news from Magic and Celtics sources…
1) Channing Frye's 4-year, $32 million contract with the Magic will be front-loaded and decrease by the NBA-maximum 4.5 percent each year, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
2) Orlando Summer League is a little bubble away from the NBA world but not too far away, Paul Flannery of SBNation writes.
3) Seth Curry is looking to prove he belongs on an NBA roster as he plays at the Orlando Summer League, Scott Fisher of Orlando Magic Stuff writes.
4) Cameron Jones is showing improvement as the Summer League rolls on, Zach Oliver of Presto in the Paint writes.
5) Marcus Smart had his best showing from Summer League yesterday, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel writes.
6) Sean Merriman of Big Ten Network did a draft of the top Big Ten players in the NBA using this year's Draft order. He has the Magic taking Mike Conley Jr. at three while Victor Oladipo went fourth.
7) The Magic did not wait for LeBron James to set free agency in motion, and they have been rewarded for it, Luke Duffy of Hoops Habit writes.
8) Kareem Gantt of Rant Sports has an interesting idea for the Magic's third point guard — Bulls veteran D.J. Augustin. It seems unlikely with the Magic hoping to keep cap flexibility and avoid long-term deals.
9) Brian Robb of Celtics Blog wonders if the Celtics hurt their chances to acquire Kevin Love by making a three-team trade yesterday. Danny Ainge is operating in the dark, making a deal difficult for the Celtics, Jay King of MassLive.com writes.

12) The Celtics' return from the Kevin Garnett/Paul Pierce trade last year with Brooklyn keeps getting better, Brian Robb of Celtics Blog writes. The Celtics indeed scored big, Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe writes. Although the trade likely does not improve the team's immediate future, Baxter Holmes of the Boston Globe notes.
13) Steve Bullpett of the Boston Herald believes the acquisition of Marcus Thornton and Tyler Zeller means the team is not done dealing. Tom Westerholm of Celtics Hub asks what the trade means for the Celtics' non-guaranteed players.
14) Tom Westerholm of Celtics Hub takes a closer look at new Celtic Tyler Zeller. Jeff Clark of Celtics Blog also asks who is Tyler Zeller.

Demi Lovato Without Makeup: Revealed on Twitter!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
She's preached it ever since her trip to rehab: it's what inside that counts. It's the real you that matters.
And now Demi Lovato has put that philosophy into practice, posting a photo on Twitter of herself makeup-free, a rarity for celebrities. (Lady Gaga went a similar route late last month). Take a look for yourself:
"I'm not always perfectly happy with my body," Lovato said in a recent interview with WE7. "After all, I'm a woman and what woman is? But I make sure I tell myself that I'm beautiful and I tell myself daily affirmations, so I would recommend that to younger girls - and guys."
What do you think of Demi's all natural look? Weigh in now and don't forget to watch her official music video for "Give Your Heart a Break."
Hate her if she still looks amazing with out makeup!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
she is beautiful
Oh please! She's a gorgeous young woman with perfect skin bc she takes care of it. She's still very young. Go Demi! Forget the haters :)
She is ugly as fuck!!!!!!!!!!!
For everyone saying she has to be wearing makeup, you're ridiculous. My cousin's lips are so perfectly shaded she's looked like she's been wearing lipstick since she was born. Her cheeks are always rosy, also. I'm not a Demi fan, but don't hate because she's beautiful without makeup.
I'm sure she looks fine without make-up, but this is not a sans make up pic...every girl knows to look that natural and glowing your wearing make up. Her cheeks are rosy, so are her lips and she has an airbrushed complexion...she's not being very honest with herself or her public.
She is beautiful with or without make-up. It's whats inside that counts,just be true to yourself.....;0)
She's a beautiful girl with or without makeup, but she is clearly wearing makeup in this pic! At minimum, she's wearing foundation, blush, and some sort of lip stain. Let's just keep it real...don't pretend she is "makeup free" when that's not the case.
She is so beautiful without makeup!!!!
She looks beautiful. Good for her for putting out such a positive message.

Hi all,
I'm encountering an issue where a company has more than one domain.
Let's say we have domain "DomainA" and "DomainB". AX 2012 R2 (+CU7) is installed on DomainA.
All users are setup with their own domain. They can use the system, e.g. writing timesheets regarless if they are in DomainA or DomainB.
The problem is when the workflow tries to assign a user from DomainB as approver for the timesheet. The workflow stops with the error: "Failed to create a session; confirm that the user has proper privileges to log on to Microsoft Dynamics."
The user has also an email account for DomainA which is the one they should use. Now if I setup this user as DomainA the workflow continues.
Problem is that he cannot login hiself with the DomainA account on the network. He should use DomainB.
Another funny thing is that, when I change the SID in the user info table for this user to the SID belongs to DomainA, the workflow also continues, but he then also cannot log on within AX client himself.
Did anyone encountered this problem before or knows a workaround? It is not possible to convert the user to DomainA yet...
Can we consider this as a bug in AX 2012?
kind regards,
André Arnaud de Calavon | Microsoft Dynamics AX Solution architect | My blog | My company
This post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or view of my company, Microsoft, both its employees, or other MVPs.
Hi André
Interesting scenario.
I never faced this issue, but in my opinion is a Bug.
What do you mean with "Problem is that he cannot login hiself with the DomainA account on the network. He should use DomainB"
Thanks & Regards
Denis Macchinetti
Senior Technical Architect
Hi Denis,
Thanks for your interest. I would like to make it the problem for someone else :-(.
The people did get an email account in AccountA. This happens to be the same network alias, only within DomainA. So the same alias is known in Active Directory with DomainA and DomainB for people coming from DomainB.
Strange is that the import wizard only can show the people listed in DomainA and not DomainB. By manual creation of the users we can enter these people with the DomainB network domain.
After reading well, could be a trust domain problem.
The domains are "two-way" trusted?
From domain B you are able to ping the AX Server, installed on Domain A?
If no, add host entry of the AX Servers in domain B
Sorry for the late answer. Due to illness from several people including myself, we were not able to verify your last question.
I was thinking it could be related to having the same network alias in both network domains where some AX logic will assume this alias should bbe unique across the network.
I will come back later.
I have more details now. There is a domainA and a domainB.
DomainB is divided into other sub domains per region.
There are no users in DomainB
The users with the problems are in the sub domains.
There is a two-way trust between domainA and DomainB.
Also there are two-way trusts between DomainB and the sub domains.
There is NO direct two-way trust between DomainA and the sub(region) domains.
It is strange that the user is able to run AX (client and EP) while the RunAs command raises an error.
What are your thoughts?
A interesting test, could be create a simply class where try if RunAs work fine for a Sub Domain user.
Just to understand if the problem is on RunAs command.
If doesn't work, mean that RunAs have some issue with the Sub Domains and you can open a MS case with more details.

Since then he has run more than 200 political campaigns for candidates or ballot issues while continuing to write statistical analysis for sports and developing a database of thousands of basketball players at www.valueaddbasketball.com and writing for www.crackedsidewalks.com. He met with and advised several NBA teams to advice on the future performance of potential draft picks this year. His work for the Alabama Farmers Federation in 2010 included helping to coordinating door-to-door efforts that reached the homes of 170,000 voters, and his more recent statistical work was featured by CNN/Sports Illustrated. Latest News Value Add Player/Team Rankings: SEC Defending champion Florida should battle Kentucky for the title, but Value Add Projections have seven SEC teams in the tournament with a potential eighth being defending tournament champion Mississippi. Florida's Kasey Hill should be back in time to give Florida a good shot at Kentucky. The preseason Value Add First Team All-Conference team included three Kentucky players in Julius Randle, Andrew Harrison, and Alex Pythress, the latter of which has taken a back seat to the younger stars. Dec 2, 2013 11:53 PM PT Value Add Player/Team Rankings: Big East Georgetown and Marquette, who tied with departed Louisville for the title last year, will have to battle Missouri Valley champion Creighton and a Villanova team that has already defeated No. 2 Kansas. Georgetown won at No. 10 VCU 84-80 for a second top-10 win for the conference. Butler has looked strong, but losing Roosevelt Jones for the season may have cost them the upset of Oklahoma State and a two-point loss to LSU. Dec 2, 2013 11:44 PM PT Value Add Player/Team Rankings: ACC Defending season and tournament champion Miami will have to rebuild from the bottom of the even tougher ACC. UNC's season could rest on if PJ Hairston is able to play. NC State's TJ Warren is the top Value Add player and a 1st Team All-American, but Duke has three of the five All-Conference Players in Rasheed Sulaimon, Jabari Parker and Quinn Cook. Beginning Tuesday, the ACC will try to take the ACC-Big Ten challenge back from the Big Ten for the first time since 2008. Dec 2, 2013 12:20 PM PT Value Add Player/Team Rankings: Big Ten The Big Ten took the ACC-Big Ten challenge from the ACC for the first time in 2009, and has never given it back as they start their defense Tuesday. Ohio State's destruction of No. 17 Marquette on the road and Michigan State's win over No. 1 Kentucky is part of a potentially dominant season for the Big Ten. Defending season champion Indiana is the 21st best team in the country, but only sixth best in the loaded Big Ten. Value Add gives four of the 15 preseason All-Conference picks to the Big Ten including Player of the Year Glenn Robinson of Michigan. Dec 2, 2013 12:20 PM PT Iron Bowl Celebrations Spread Far from Auburn Following the path of RVs out of Auburn today showed just how far the celebration spread after the stunning last-second upset of Alabama Saturday. An investment in toilet paper in east Alabama would have been wise last week, as the home pictured is 18 miles from the site of the main toilet paper activity near campus. Dec 1, 2013 3:05 PM PT Iron Bowl: Always Tough for State School to Lose to Agricultural School In most states the big dollars go to the State University, with the agricultural/engineering university (Purdue, Texas A&M, Iowa State and Auburn) receiving the second most money, and then the sectional schools getting the crumbs. That is why the site of the Direct TV/ESPN bus leaving an agricultural campus just after the team beats the state school like this photo Sunday afternoon next to Auburn's practice field is so important. Dec 1, 2013 2:31 PM PT New Big East a Top 3 Conference, Will Help Fox Sports 1 The new Big East took two Top 5 teams from the Big 12 to the wire Friday, with Oklahoma State having to block a last second shot to hold on against Butler and No. 2 Kansas being stunned by Villanova. The tables below show the team-by-team comparison for the ACC and Big East based on the calculations at www.kenpom.com, which calculate that each conference would win 81 percent of their games if all 351 teams played each other on a neutral court. Good news for Fox Sports 1. Nov 30, 2013 8:25 AM PT Exclusive: Top 50 NBA Prospects Based on Early Season Games Andrew Wiggins (Kansas) is considered the top NBA prospect, but Jabari Parker (Duke Freshman) and Jordan Adams (UCLA Sophomore)are the two prospects who have made the the strongest case through the opening weeks of the season. The table below ranks the top 50 performances in the early season by NBA prospects based on Value Add which has been covered by ESPN. Nov 26, 2013 9:25 AM PT Value Add Rankings:Top 25 College Basketball Teams The day after the 2012 NCAA tournament ended, Value Add projected that Kentucky would fall dramatically in 2013 but then be a dominant No. 1 again in 2014. However, Arizona, Duke, Louisville and Michigan have closed the gap dramatically since then, and Marcus Smart's decision to stay at Oklahoma State makes them a potential contender. Here is the countdown of the projected Top 25 teams at www.valueaddbasketball.com. Nov 11, 2013 11:10 PM PT College Basketball Preview: Glenn Robinson, Jordan Adams Top Value Add Player Rankings UCLA's Jordan Adams broke his foot to end UCLA's title hopes then lost teammate Shabazz Muhammad to the NBA. But Value Add projects him as the second best returning player this season behind only Michigan's Glenn Robinson, and with Kyle Anderson also back, UCLA has two of the Top 50 best players in the country listed below. Nov 11, 2013 10:15 PM PT ZZ Top Supports Red Sox as Top Rock Beard Index (RBI) Team ZZ Top tried to keep Randy Johnson in Houston 25 years ago to give their Astros a chance at a World Series. Now their RBI (Rock Beard Index) has them rooting for the Boston Red Sox in the Fall Classic while Johnson stands near the stage taking photos of the band. Oct 23, 2013 4:01 PM PT Taxpayers Asked to Save Astrodome In July, we reported on bankrupt Detroit's request for $444 million from taxpayers for a new stadium for the Red Wings even though the team was fine where it was and was turning a profit. Now taxpayers in Houston are being asked to pay almost that much to pay for a stadium of great memories (see Nolan Ryan's photo above) that inspired even Ron Paul to wear a crazy uniform - but that no pro team will ever use again. Oct 21, 2013 9:33 PM PT Grambling, Other HBC Schools Struggle to Improve Facilities AUBURN - As late as 2008, Grambling's football team was named the national champion among Historically Black Colleges. However, the school has continued to struggle like other HBC schools who now have to compete with once-segregated state schools in the south that aggressively recruit the top black athletes and students with superior facilities. Leaders in Tuskegee near Auburn have seen the struggle play out. Oct 20, 2013 1:48 PM PT Grambling, Producer of 100 NFL Players, Forfeits Robinson is royalty (in the photo above from his funeral in 2007, Jesse Jackson kisses his wife Doris's hand), but the athletic department and university he built may be the lowest in Division 1 sports. Not only has the football lost 18 straight to NCAA opponents, but Grambling had the only winless basketball team (0-28) of 347 who played Division 1. Oct 20, 2013 1:45 PM PT Goodbye Sanchez? Geno Smith Gets 1st Big Win over Patriots Mark Sanchez's best chance to start again for the Jets might rest on Geno Smith getting injured trying to run over a defender. Smith had plenty of help from a great defensive line rushing Tom Brady, a powerful running back behind him and a late call to set up the winning field goal. However, he also showed pinpoint accuracy on tight first-down throws, the ability to run over or around defenders, and perhaps most importantly the willingness to throw the ball away in a 30-27 overtime win over New England.

I really wish that I could just stop missing you at times. I am doing everything to keep myself occupied but I wish I could really control my dreams too. And the worst part is that I dream about the things we had planned or discussed. It tears me apart. I just wish I could stop missing you Ricky!
The dream I had yesterday night just broke me and I cannot afford to go through that emotional wreckage again. I am holding my fort strongly but at times it just crumbles down to bits and pieces and I get crushed under the mortar of my memories, my dreams and my desires.
Sometimes I wish I could just stop missing you.
We had a perfect love story. It was truly magical in every sense. I was the happiest person on this earth for five months. The smile on my face was constant. I lived every second. And then suddenly we came out of the dream into reality and we realized that we were star-crossed lovers after all. With no scope of uniting. He lives on one end of the planet and I….. I live on the other. He isn't planning to move here . I was willing to move my roots but well…
Our fate had made decision for us.
I had the perfect love story and I was with the man I wanted to love all my life and sleep in his arms every night. I still crave for that one God damn night when I will get to just sleep in his arms for once. But as said, one in every 10 couples are star-crossed and it fell in my kitty.
Another weekend has passed. ok! so first things first. My dad is still in hospital, hopefully he will be discharged by tomorrow and he will be home.
I had to wake up early Saturday morning because I had to attend the Alumni Board meeting of my school. Yes! I am a part of the Alumni Board of my school, I am the Director of Communications for ASN Alumni Association. And we are currently working on an event. We are organizing an Annual Sports Meet for the Alumni of ASN and Saturday morning was just about that. I woke up at 7:30 on Saturday morning… yes yes you heard it right. Woke up that early. Spent most of the day clicking pictures, meeting old teachers, catching up with other Board members.
Then I went back home and slept through out the day, only waking up to read Game Of Thrones, and then going back to sleep again. In the evening I went to the hospital to meet my dad and stayed with him till dinner. We had dinner together. Went back home and the night took me sometime while reading the book.
So much has happened in the book by the way! SPOILER ALERT! King is dead and even Viserys is dead. The dead people are rising back. woah!! too much. I am completely loving this book.
Oh by the way I ordered 8 books last week. A mixture of autobiographies, plays and inspirational books. Yes! they lift my spirit and make me happy.
Sunday was about cleaning the house, arranging my wardrobe, working with the maid to arrange things perfectly for the week to follow. In the afternoon, I went to meet some of my closest friends for college. 3 of them are already married. Sigh! it makes me sad sometimes, not because I want to get married but sometimes I wish I had someone too. Blahhhhh!! Dear thought go away!! Don't make me sad. I decided to be a bit of boho and I wore a long gypsy green skirt with a tank top. Honestly, I don't care if the world thinks that I was looking weird. I wasn't put on earth to please anyone else. It is just about me and so I wear things that I like without giving a fuck. Sometimes I think I belong to the family of Phoebe Buffay and Luna Lovegood. Too free to think about the world.
Anyways, that's all for the weekend folks. See you next weekend!
Inspirations play a big role when it comes to blogging. You need something to write about you feel connected to. At least that's what I can say for myself. I cannot write just because someone asked me to write. My writing is not commercial. It comes from within.
I suffered from writers block for quite a long time. No metaphors, no ironies… Absolutely nothing. I wanted to write but there was no inspiration at all. That was the worst phase for me. I could not express. Actually there was nothing to express.
I would confess here on my blog that sometimes some situations in life poke you so hard that you protect yourself within a wall and never let your vulnerable side out. But that's pure cowardice and yes I was a coward. I was protecting myself but with that I was losing my creativity too. I was becoming the emotionless freak, yes that is the term I use at times to define myself because that's how I become at times.
Truly speaking, I am not at a good place right now and I am standing on the thin border of emotionless and emotions and I keep tumbling here and there. But this I want to accept the pain and let it sink it. I want to experience it and letvot pave way for me and be my inspiration.
People hurt you but I have learned one thing from my past experiences. You should never blame others for your sadness. You should never hate others for your misfortunes. If something went wrong, make amendments. Forget about whose fault it was. Forgive people and move on without any hatred for anyone.
Some questions are better left unanswered. But no paths are better left unexplored for life is finite and paths are galore. Keep moving on.
Not talking about moving on from relationship to relationship but fall in love with someone and when you find that someone… Just love them forever. Wherever they may be.
SAM / Mysa / Sammy
The sudden downpour when I was sad,
It was you.
The warm towel when I was drenching,
It was you.
The first spoonful of hot Maggi when I was hungry,
It was you.
The first sip of beer when I was with friends,
It was you.
The smile that crossed my face in between family conversations,
It was you.
The comforter on my cold bed when I was tired,
It was you.
My last thought,
It was you.
My dream,
It was you.
My first thought when I wake up,
It is you……………….
Happy Janmashtmi to all of you!
Lord Krishna is one of the most appealing Gods in Hinduism. He is the naughty one, the charming one, the universal one, the strongest one, the one almighty who is loved by all.
Lord Krishna's tales range from stealing butter to hitting in a playful manner with a catapult, from picking up the Goverdhan Parvat (mountain) with just his pinky finger to his treasured words in Bhagwad Gita. The Lord of flute, a great inspiration for the musicians.
Janmashtmi marks the birth of Lord Krishna every year and it is celebrated with great zeal. Human pyramids to break the pot of butter, all the temples decorated. No doubt this marks the beginning of festive season of India. Happy festivities to one and all.

Biological Child Resents Adopted Kids
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 10-20-2003 - 11:05am
My question is this, are there any other adults who are the biological children of parents or in my case a parent (my mom) who adopted other children and are resentful of those children ???
I know I should'nt feel this way but I hate my mother's kids - I refuse to call them my siblings - they're horrible, rotten people (the youngest is now 16 and the oldest is 21) who act so much differently than my biological sister and I. I feel like my life would have been so much different if she had never allowed those children to come into our home or our lives.
I do not hide the way I feel about these people and it is of course having a serious impact on the relationship I have with my mother.
Any suggestions on how I can deal with these feelings of resentment in a way that does not hurt my mother ?

To this day she allows them to get away with behavior that she would have 'knocked us into outer space' for and she does not make them accountable for their actions. In short she does show favoritism and she does make a difference between them and my sister and I and we do resent this.
Until recently I did have to spend a lot of time around them. I decided to move away from my family so that I would not have to interact with them. The only person I see on a regular basis is my sister and her family.
Your mother should show favoritism towards you, YOU are afterall her flesh and blood.
|Mon, 10-20-2003 - 8:43pm
In my family, there is no distinction between adopted/biological/half/step or otherwise, and I believe there should NEVER be any distinction. A child is a child, and s/he cannot choose who they get for parents. If a parent adopts a child, they have made the commitment to love and raise that child as their own flesh and blood - the same commitment made when a mother gives birth. Period. That child is as much a part of the family as "flesh and blood" children, and should be treated as such from ALL family members, including siblings.
<<< My mom adopted the children when we were both in our early teens. >>>
Well that explains a lot. This is a tough time for teens, during which much identity and values are formed, and a time when competition from other siblings is most keen. So you had Mom all to yourself (and sis) for those 13 or so years, then had to share her with three babies in a row. I'm willing to bet much of your resentment stems from jealousy during your early teen years that was never dealt with. But you know what? This happens with "flesh and blood" siblings too, and has absolutely nothing to do with biological vs. adopted siblings. It's just pre-teen egocentrism, jealousy, and sibling rivalry.
<<< Needless to say my sister and I did a lot of babysitting and had to make a lot of sacrifices that we shouldn't have had to in order to help my mom take care of these kids. >>>
Again, this has nothing to do with biological vs. adopted siblings. Because if your mom had had three biological babies in a row, you would ALSO have been expected to babysit and make sacrifices for them, too. And you would have complained just as loudly.
<<< To this day she allows them to get away with behavior that she would have 'knocked us into outer space' for and she does not make them accountable for their actions. In short she does show favoritism and she does make a difference between them and my sister and I and we do resent this. >>>
I have to disagree with Mom here. I can understand why you resent the favoritism. But perhaps I can shed a little light: I'm willing to bet your mom feels deep compassion for these children because their own parents were unable or unfit to raise them, and loves them very much. Not more than you or your sis, just differently - and you interpret that as favoritism. Also, there is NO parent on the face of this earth that treats all of their children exactly equally - there will be differences in discipline, attention, expectations, and so on - for each child; because any good parent will determine what works best for each child. AND, we parents get better at parenting with each child raised. Maybe your mom sees that she was too strict with you and sis, so has eased up with the next three. With parenting as anything else, practice makes perfect. Problem is, once you've finally figured out how to do parenting well, the kids are grown and you're out of a job. Go figure.
<<< Your mother should show favoritism towards you, YOU are afterall her flesh and blood. >>>
This statement is so wrong - I don't even know where to start to explain it. By your reasoning, then, adopted children aren't worthy or deserving of a parent's love? What have they done so wrong, and biological children done so right, to deserve such a value judgement? Since when are children responsible for the parents they are given in life? And how can you justify a parent showing favoritism toward one child than another, when neither child has done ANYTHING to provoke or deserve it?
<<< I know I should'nt feel this way but I hate my mother's kids - I refuse to call them my siblings - they're horrible, rotten people (the youngest is now 16 and the oldest is 21) who act so much differently than my biological sister and I. I feel like my life would have been so much different if she had never allowed those children to come into our home or our lives.
Well, like it or not, they ARE your siblings and you cannot change that unless you disown your mother. They act differently from your sister and you because there's a gap of several years between you, and yes, some personality traits are inherited from one's biological parents. And yes, your life would have been much different if your mother had not adopted your siblings, but not necessarily better. And once again, this has NOTHING to do with biological vs. adopted siblings - the same resentment would be there if your mother had given birth to these kids. By the way, she didn't "allow" those children to come into your home or lives - this statement implies that these babies, at 1 and 2 yrs old, ASKED for admittance to your home and your mother LET them. LOL Waaay off-base. These kids had no control over who abandoned them, adopted them, or whatever - and your mother CHOSE to raise those kids as her very own.
<<< I do not hide the way I feel about these people and it is of course having a serious impact on the relationship I have with my mother. >>>
Well of course it is. "These people" are your family, whether you like it or not. By your actions, you are forcing your mother to take sides - so of course she will take sides with the sibling who is being attacked, as any parent would do - biological child or not.
<<< Any suggestions on how I can deal with these feelings of resentment in a way that does not hurt my mother? >>>
Yes. They're called "therapists" and you can find them in the phone book, your county health department, or by asking your medical doctor for a reference. I'd advise you to find one quickly, before your family is torn apart, or tears apart from you.
And why are you only worried about not hurting your mother? Do your siblings not count at all as human beings, with feelings of their own? You do say in your post they are "horrible, rotten people" but you offer no explanation to back up that opinion. I know you THINK they are horrible, rotten people - but frankly, based on the strong bias you present in the rest of your post, I have trouble believing they are as horrible as you say they are. Show me. Tell me. Explain, please...

We have a couple adopted kids in my family too as well as some step family. No distinction is made between biological relatives and non-biological ones. Everyone is family. Period. Esspecially when it comes to children. No matter what their parents have done or not done, they are innocent and deserve to be treated with love and compassion.

My DH has five adopted siblings and one natural (not sure what the politically correct term is these days) sister. He actually likes his adpoted sisters much more than his natural sister, and he does all of them. Even so, he resents his parent's, really his mom's, decision to adopt so many kids because it greatly reduced the quality of his life and that of all of his siblings because circumstances stretched his parent's resources incredibly thin and greatly reduced the academic and social choices of the older children. At one point after DH had left home and while MIL was going through graduate school, they had three adolescent girls, one son in grade school, and one toddler who had many behavioral problems, yet they decided to adopt a girl who was blind and had severe behavioral problems. To DH, it was obvious that she was autistic, but MIL was sure that she could make her right. Only after years of unsuccess, was MIL able to admit that she couldn't fix her and took her to a specialist. With autism, early intervention is necessary if any progress is going to be made. Instead of trained specialists, Annette had only three adolescent girls to help her out because MIL was busy with grad school. Instead of letting the last two be adopted by people who had more resources, could invest more time and more realistically meet their unique needs, they took them because MIL had, and still has a need to save the world.
Even though there supposedly isn't a difference in the way DH's family feels about DH and his siblings and the one natural grandchild, but in reality, there is. SD is the absolute favorite, hands down. Anything she wants, she gets. MIL makes sure that the rest of the grandkids get plenty, but it is obvious that she puts much more thought into SD's gifts. DH's grandma is much more open about it with DH. She only has two "blood" grandsons, and she has made sure that they get the photograph albums, and other family heirlooms, and she has made it very clear to me that SD will be inheriting them. She won't give MIL anything that she wants to stay in the family for fear that she will give it to an adopted child. GMIL dotes on her two blood grandsons, and I might as well not exist because I have not given her a grandchild. She loves all of her grandchildren and greatgrandchildren, but she has a special relationship with her blood grandchildren and their offspring.
You are not alone in how you feel. Even though Misfit's post was harsh, she made some good points that might help you get some perspective. Your adopted siblings didn't ask to be a part of this family, and they are humans who are deserving of at least basic respect, but I don't think that you HAVE to like or even love them. Yes, genetics does play a part in who a person is, but environement plays an even larger part. Keep this in mind as you deal with them because you were part of the environment they grew up in. I think that you have done a good thing in separating yourself from them as much as you have and you should continue to do so until you deal with this anger that you have. Your mother has essentially raised two separate families who aren't melding very well, and this is an issue that she is going to have to deal with in time. The fact is that you cannot change the past and the only person you can change is yourself. Your mother has/is making a lot mistakes, so she's human. Its time to forgive her for that. You are stuck with your life as it is, its time to get over it and move on. I know it is difficult to let go of the hurt you experienced in the past, but it is necessary so that you don't carry all of that anger into the future.

With that said my adoptive family was always there for me through everything. Especially my older sister! None of my older siblings agreed with my actions and none of them were very happy with me. I was not happy with myself and I was determined to doing everything I could to fight the world, so why would they be happy with me. But they all supported me and they all lectured me when I needed it too, etc. But in the end they made it clear that they loved me and that I was a good kid despite my actions. They encouraged me to straighten up and they made it clear I was loved.
From the ages of 11 until I was around 24 I rebelled against the world in anyway I could. I had the support of my siblings more than I did my adoptive parents most of the time. When you said " I do not hide the way I feel about these people and it is of course having a serious impact on the relationship I have with my mother", it just crushed me. I thought back to when I was acting out and how I would have felt if my siblings did not hide all their resentments and thoughts from me. Their support and kindness to me is what brought me out of ditch I was in!
Being adopted into a established family is hard no matter what age you are. Even though I had been in their care since I Was very small, I still grew up with very cruel comments from some family, kids at school and even my siblings (only when I was under 10 yrs old and we were fighting) etc. I was made to feel like I was not a "real" or "whole" person because that was not my "real" family. My cousins even made comments like "You are not a real "Smith" because you were just adopted into it" "Your not really my cousin because you were adopted". Even some aunts and uncles were known to buy the other siblings gifts and not my sister and I. Imagine growing up like that as a child? Could you imagine your children being treated like they are a less of a person because they are your kid? I was a child too and so were your adopted adopted siblings. I am sure that they endured similar things like I did, that you have no idea about. That is enough to make them act out. I thought I was ok with all that and that I never let it bother me. But in hindsight that is part of the reason that I acted out. I felt like I did not belong anywhere because of the small comments I heard like that. I felt unloved and unwanted so I took it out on the only people I could, my family because that was all I had!
When you are adopted like I was because I had worthless bio parents, you feel like there is something wrong with you. I am sure your siblings feel that way. But as a kid you cannot pin point why you feel like you do and why you are acting out. You just are and it is extremely hard to change. They need the support of a loving family to help them. You could be that and they could give you credit for helping them through difficult times or you can be the world that they rebelling against and you can sit back and laugh when they crash and burn because they have no one to support them. Your Mom is going to be the one they fight against. Not because they don't love her because I am sure they do, they just have trouble showing it through their on pain etc. My siblings told me not to talk to my Mom like I did many many times. Even though it irritated me when they said it, I caught on because I knew they loved me.
It is very unfair and unrealistic for an adult to feel the way you feel about your siblings because they are not your "real" siblings. If you have always acted that way towards your adopted siblings than it is no wonder they act the way they do. You really need to see the whole picture and start trying to care for them. It is NOT their fault that they needed a family. Your Mom helped kids in need when no one else did. She deserves your respect too. You do not have to respect her for the things she has done wrong by you, but at least respect and love her for what she has done. We all make mistakes but we have to go on. Forgive her or at least try and come to terms with everything. You will be much happier and content with your life if you could do this.
All 5 of us kids in my family are very different and we have all had our problems and screw ups. I am very thankful that my older siblings did not hold my screw ups against me and I do not hold their screw ups against them. My older sister has been known to tell my mom off and be mad at her because of the dumbest reasons, and she is their "real" kid. I am still here for her and she is for me. That is what family is about! Please rethink treating your adopted siblings different and see if that makes a difference. It may not be them as much as it is you. Or maybe you can change their lives by being an older sister that they can come too.
Sorry if I was too blunt here. I did not mean to put you down, I am just surprised that an adult could feel like you do.

I am sure there are many wonderful wedding photographers on Wedding Wire. But if I were you, I would not look any further than Julia MacInnis. After meeting for the initial consult we knew she was the perfect photographer for our wedding. It only takes a short conversation to see her professionalism and passion for her work. A few months before our wedding we booked an engagement session with Julia. After two postponements due to weather, we dragged her to Eastern Market on a 90 degree day in July. Julia took the temp in stride and overcame the not-so-ideal light to capture wonderful photos. We had a few requests for specific photos on our wedding day but having looked through a few of her previous wedding shoots we told her to go with her instincts for the rest. So glad we did! We just received our final photos and they are incredible! Our wedding day was a complete blur but we will always have the memories and the photos Julia captured for us. Thank you Julia!

Julia was great. She walked my husband and I through our engagement photos and they came out great. She even picked the location and it was adorable. When it came to the wedding, she was there but she didn't stick out like a sore thumb. She was great with making sure we got all the shots we requested. When my flower girls (2 1/2) was acting up she was able to get her to sit and smile for the group photo! The pictures we have seen so far are great and we can't wait to see the rest!

Julia did a FANTASTIC job photographing our wedding! We had only talked on the phone, and not met in person because we were planning our second wedding in a short time period. Nevertheless, she did a great job listening to what we wanted, and we felt like we had really good chemistry when we met in person on the big day. She was everywhere without being intrusive, she made everyone smile and feel natural with ease, she captured the spirit of the day and just took wonderful pictures everywhere, of everyone! She took a ton of pictures of my daughters and their friends doing their own things, and they are some of my favorite pictures. I don't know Julia well, but she is just a radiant person who takes so much pleasure in her work. I would very very happily recommend Julia to anyone who has a wedding coming up. I am certain we will find other opportunities to take advantage of Julia's great photography in the years to come!

Julia was amazing all the way through!
When we went to sit down and chat with her, we met in her home which was very professionally kept and laid out, a feat given she has kids!
She kept everything in line at the wedding itself and even pulled her camera back out while packing up to make sure to capture a very special moment for us.
The pictures came and we were very impressed with the quality. Through and through we were blown away by everything she had to offer. I'd use her again for other stuff too!

Julia was everywhere on our wedding day. She captured images of our wedding that I didn't think anyone would think to get or be fast enough to snap. The day after our wedding she put four pictures up on facebook as a quick sneak peak. They were perfection. Within a few weeks, she put up a slideshow on her website and also posted it to facebook so my friends and family could see. Shortly after that, we received the whole gallery.
I was very pleased with the quality, the time frame in which she did her work, and that she shared it on facebook. Julia is the kind of photographer that you keep in touch with, you send Christmas cards to and you use every time you have an important family portrait you want to take in the future.
I knew she would be fantastic but the images she captured were more than I could have hoped for.

She knew just the right lighting and angles to get awesome pictures of our wedding day. I'd recommend her for any wedding. :) She also did our engagement photos-- they turned out amazing and we're actually getting one of them blown up and printed on canvas.

Julia was amazing. Not only was her work beautiful, she managed to coordinate photos of a HUGE wedding party, was adaptable when things didn't go as scheduled before the ceremony (which is more than I could say about my reaction) and captured photos of our family and friends during perfect/special moments that my Husband and I would have otherwise not seen. For example, there is a photo of my Mom looking at my Dad after he sat down after giving me away and it's precious! That look happened in a split second, and she captured it, along with many more just like that. The thing that really sets Julia apart is her personality. She is friendly, funny, confident, and extremely professional and made us feel comfortable. She left an impression on everyone; family, friends, Country Club employees, etc. and that says a lot!

No, I did not put five stars on everything because I was lazy! I truly loved having Julia as my photographer! She was nothing but professional through the whole period leading up to my wedding. With my initial consultation, Julia was up front about her services and pricing and her portfolio was beautiful so I was easily sold. Her responsiveness moving forward was always quick and no question was too silly. The day of the wedding, she arrived on time and got right to work. Even during "down times", Julia continued to work--setting up the next photo and making sure she had everything prepared. She also did a great job of impromptu photos. Any ideas I had for a photo she took to immediately and made it better than what I had imagined. My wedding was very relaxed and stress free for me and I loved that Julia fit right in. I was never concerned about what she was doing, I completely trusted her judgement. As far as the photos--amazing! I would highly recommend Julia MacInnis Photography for any type of wedding. She is the best, in my opinion.

Additionally, she is a great person. So fun to be around... we did our engagement pictures and just had such a fun time with it. She was also a very calming presence at the wedding, which is such a bonus for a nervous bride! We loved her!

Not to sound cliche, but wow, wow and WOW. Julia is by far one of the absolute best photographers in the Washington Metropolitan area, especially considering our particular cirumstance. Both my husband and I work for the Departement of State, so our wedding was VERY last minute and a bit of a whirlwind. I contacted her three weeks prior to our set date, and without any hesitation, Julia bid on my request - and a great bid it was. Not only did she have reasonable prices, but because we were not doing a full 8 hour wedding, she adjusted her prices to accomodate our short event.
Professionally, she was on time, prepared, courteous, and listened intently to what we wanted as a couple. Some of our best shots are ones that we all collaborated on. As we are African American, and have darker skin tones, this could have proven to be a challenge for any photographer. Nevertheless, she adjusted, added and/or deleted light, and was sure to place us in the perfect position to utilize natural light as well. She touched up a few photos for the blog, but the ones that she did not still portray us in the most perfect way possible. Simply amazing photos.
On a more personal note, I am above and beyond appreciative of her desire to please the customer. Our wedding ran late into the evening hours, so Julia did not get the best shots she thought possible. She texted me the very next morning and said 'lets try this again'. Any other photographer would have allowed us to go on with our lives, giving us what we paid for. Not Julia. She is very detailed and dedicated to her artform, and even if we were satisfied with her final product, she was not. We met again and took even more stunning photos, which we are all pleased with.
To be very direct about it, Julia rocks. She loves her chosen profession and she loves people, which makes for some of the most heartfelt, candid, meaningful photography. Not that I am planning for children any time soon, but when I start showing that lovely bump, I will be calling Julia to document the life of us and our child(ren) for years to come:-)
P.S. - Shes quick and full of energy - makes for a fun, great session!!

Julia is amazing. I am so glad we decided to have her photograph our wedding. She is talented, compassionate, encouraging, and really got to know us throughout the whole process.
Julia's wedding photography is worth every penny. From the engagement session all the way up until I got the album, Julia communicated with us regularly and responded to questions very quickly. I personally hate getting my picture taken at all, but as a bride, I knew I had to! During the engagement session, Julia really made me feel at ease. She was so positive and supportive, and really helped me relax...something that is difficult for me to do when my picture is taken. We ended up having so much fun despite being outside in the cold!
At the wedding ceremony Julia was great. The church we got married in was VERY strict in terms where photographers were allowed to stand. Julia and her co-photographers weren't even allowed to stand inside the main part of the church! Despite this, Julia's pictures were phenomenal. She was positive the whole time and used her professional talent to ensure she got great photos. She used the small areas where she could stand to get some neat aerial photos and some were zoomed in but looked as though she was right behind us at the altar. At the reception, Julia got some great candid pictures of us and our guests, as well as some that were set up.
Photography is the one part of the wedding in which couples cannot afford to look for the cheapest prices available. I know so many couples who looked for really cheap photographers, and once the photos and albums came back they were so disappointed. With Julia, you will not be disappointed! Her photos really captured great moments on our special day, and she has options of parent albums of various shapes and sizes...traditional albums to ones that look like books and more!
I highly recommend going with Julia MacInnis Photography...aside from marrying my husband, it was the best investment I made on my wedding day!

cornbread with non southern food / non chili ?
- c
- chinaplate Dec 6, 2012 07:52 AM
We are having dinner with neighbors tonight. They will bring fish curry, we will roast cauliflower (with some cumin and other related spices) and make a salad (greens, pear, craisin, candied pecans, and blue cheese). It seems like the sweetness of cornbread might go well with the curry and the sweet aspects of the salad. But is it weird to serve cornbread with curry (versus fried chicken or chili)?
re: kengk
agree on the "sweet" aspect. corn pudding may be a little sweet, but not cornbread. (but that has been hashed out on other threads).
i'd use the corn batter to make fried flat bread-- corn pone…..like an indian flatbread…but southern. you can't beat corn pone!
the indian recipe is this: http://www.indianfoodforever.com/indi... see? corn pone! and with butter on top -- YEAH!
ps, hush puppies are do-able in a flat bread, and hush puppies go with fish all the time! LOL.
also, sometimes i like my corn pone batter a little looser, and get the bacon grease or crisco oil good and hot so i get lacy, crispy edges….sometimes it is better breadier. but with a curry, it'd be nice to have something with some crunchy edges, in my opinion.
Well made cornbread (either southern or northern varieties) goes with anything in my opinion.
I've eaten cornbread with MaPo tofu. And it was great.
I think it would be fine. Not any more unusual that blue cheese/craisin salad w/ fish curry.
Fish curry and cornbread come with so many different flavor profiles that it's hard to say definitively, but corn flat breads are the traditional accompaniment to Punjabi mustard greens. In fact I put a little cornmeal in my masala when I make them, so as long as your cornbread isn't too sweet and the fish curry isn't too sour, I think this could work pretty well.
Mr. Pine is Indian and I'm U.S. Southern--our "international" night is daal with southern cornbread. I think your flavor & spice combos will be great with a non-sweet cornbread.
Tonight we're having cornbread with lamb chops. Leftover cornbread with pea soup tomorrow. I think it goes with most everything!
My family is from NC; sweet corn bread is served just about every restaurant that has cornbread on the menu. Boxed Jiffy Corn Muffin mix is displayed front & center in most grocery stores, especially during cooler weather; it's not unsweetened. Most recipes for "Southern Cornbread" has some sugar in it (notice I said "most") My grandmother, however, used to make fried cornbread...what she called "hot water cornbread" fried in cast iron skillet and contained no sugar. Cornbread goes with lots of dishes other than chicken or chili
re: Cherylptw
Oh, thanks for the memories! Grandma made hot water cornbread, too, fried in spattering hot bacon grease. Great stuff.
re: pine time
OMG!! I miss my Grandma and her food....she fried hers in bacon fat or lard as well....now, I want some!

|Leyland, Verlander ejected in fourth inning
|Written by Admin
|Saturday, 02 June 2007 15:15
The Tigers were apparently unhappy that a pitch thrown by Chad Durbin to Travis Hafner was called a ball. After Hafner struck out, Leyland raced onto the field to argue with home plate umpire Tony Randazzo and was quickly ejected. While that was going on, second-base umpire Greg Gibson ejected Verlander, who was yelling from the dugout.
Leyland stayed on the field for several minutes after he was ejected and argued with all four umpires. After going back to the dugout, he returned to the field and continued the argument before finally leaving for good.
It was Leyland's second ejection of the season.
Gibson ejected Tigers DH Gary Sheffield from Thursday night's game. Gibson said Sheffield threw a bat handle in his direction after grounding out. Sheffield had argued a strike call in the at-bat. He was suspended three games on Friday by the commissioner's office. Sheffield has appealed the suspension.
