25 weeks
Yes, yes.......I'm huge.......I know........This is how I was with Milton too. The docs kept thinking I had a gigantic baby in there but he popped out a nice 7 lbs. 8 ozs. I have my wonderful genetics to thank for this monster of a belly. I hope my little Ginger is warm and cozy in this GIANT house I've made for her.
Oh and don't forget that I have two AMAZING giveaways right now. Handmade baby shoes and Handmade bib. You don;t want to miss out especially all you mom's to be.

Aww. My midwife thought my daughter was going to be too big and they would either need to induce labor or C-Sec. But the little girl came out on her own early at a healthy 7.4lbs.
You look great. I remember at 26 weeks feeling so huge I spent hours on the web looking for pictures of pregnant women to compare myself too. lol. So silly now that I think about it.

You look adorable and I LOVE your outfit! Don't sweat it, girl...I was huge too. I got sooo tired of people saying to me, "Oh, you MUST be due any day, huh? You must be so excited!" And I would have to say,"Nope, not due for another 2 months."
The best was when a lady asked me if I was carrying twins. Who does that?! It makes me laugh thinking about it now, but I didn't always appreciate it back then. I'm a pretty petite person, so when my son wound up being 9lb 8oz, we weren't that surprised!
I hope the pregnancy is going really well. Congratulations!

I love how doctors think babies will be so huge. They told me I was going to have ten pounder based on my size. I just carried all in front and was all belly (but I was a chubby girl to begin with too). My boy was only 8 1/2 pounds when he was born (almost 2 weeks late).

Lavigne, of Complicated fame, shot a new video for the song Hello Kitty which features Japanese backup dancers, Japanese cuisine, and a smattering of the culture's language. The video quickly came under attack for the "dead eyes" portrayal of the dancers and allegedly presenting a cartoonish look at the culture. Billboard slammed the song and called the video racist. Lavigne isn't backing down. RACIST??? LOLOLOL!!! I love Japanese culture and I spend half of my time in Japan. I flew to Tokyo to shoot this video… — Avril Lavigne (@AvrilLavigne) April 24, 2014 The dancers in particular could be compared to the models who accompanied Robert Palmer in the famous Addictied to Love video from 1986.

NRI: CDC Activities
CDC Activities
CDC has undertaken a number of activities that will provide help for people who have had NRI treatment.
Through various medical journals, we have alerted physicians and other health care practitioners about possible risks from NRI. This work can be seen in:
Along with a number of co-sponsors, CDC produced a nationwide satellite medical education conference on NRI (September 1996).
This provided physicians and health care workers throughout the nation with information about the potential risks from NRI. The conference also provided training in how to conduct a thorough examination of the head and neck.
Copies of the videotape and CME credit for the program are available for those who register with the Public Health Foundation at 1-800-418-7246.
The list below is not necessarily a complete list of all available NRI sites, but is intended to help the reader search for more information. Inclusion in the list below does not imply that CDC endorses the information presented.

ORAU: Health Physics Historical Instrumentation CollectionInformation on radiation "quack" treatments sold as patent medicine
Health Studies and Recommendations
Study of Military PersonnelThe Department of Veterans Affairs evaluated whether 1,214 NRI-exposed World War II submariners were at an increased risk of death compared to 3,176 untreated submariners (Kang et al, 2000). In this study, researchers found a small increased risk of death for the NRI-exposed veterans due to cancers, including cancers of the head and neck. However, these findings were no statistically significant.
Epidemiologic Studies of Health Effects
Maryland StudyOn the basis of a cohort study of 904 exposed and 2021 unexposed persons during 1943-1960 (conducted by Sandler et al. in Maryland in 1982), showed a slight increased risk of head and neck cancers among exposed persons, but this was not statistically significant. A follow-up study of this cohort was conducted in 2001 (Yeh et al, 2001). In this study researchers found an elevated but statistically non-significant risk of developing certain cancers (brain, thyroid). However, they also found that the rates for other types of cancers (breast, endometrium, ovary, and prostate) were lower in the exposed population than in the non-exposed population. None of these findings was statistically significant.
Netherlands Study
A cohort study of 2510 exposed and 2199 unexposed persons (conducted by Verduijn et al. in the Netherlands) did not document a statistically significant increase in head and neck cancers in the exposed group.
Follow-up Investigators assessed whether cancer mortality of the Netherlands cohort was higher among 5,358 NRI-exposed individuals compared to 5,265 non-exposed patients (Ronckers et al, 2001). At the time of the study, they had been followed for an average of 31.6 years. The investigators found no increased risk of death from cancers of the head and neck, nor from brain tumors. They did, however, find evidence of a marginally statistically significant increase in death from non-Hodgkin lymphoma. They concluded that their study did not indicate that NRI-exposure in childhood was associated with an increased risk of cancer mortality.
In an analysis of the cancer incidence among 4,339 NRI-treated Dutch patients in the same Netherlands cohort (Ronckers et al, 2002b), the investigators found no elevated risk of cancer in general, nor of tumors of the head and neck in particular, compared to the 4,109 untreated participants. The same researchers (Ronckers et al, 2002a) evaluated the occurrence of nonmelanoma skin cancer, benign tumors, and hormonal disorders in the same Dutch cohort. They found that the exposed population (3,440 patients) was not at increased risk of thyroid disorders or benign head and neck tumors, including pituitary adenomas and salivary gland tumors. However, they did find a marginally statistically significant increased risk of infertility in exposed men compared to the unexposed men.
ConclusionsCurrent studies do not indicate substantial increases in risks for neoplastic or other disease among those who received NRI treatments. Although these studies identify possible associations between NRI treatment and health effects, the findings are not consistent and thus no clear link between NRI exposure and cancer risk has been established.
CDC Recommendations
Because the diseases that could be associated with this treatment are rare and the treatment may confer a modest additional risk of those diseases, CDC does not recommend screening for all patients who received the treatment. However, physicians may consider performing thorough head and neck examinations of patients with a history of NRI treatments. In addition, physicians who provide care for patients born before 1960 with head and neck complaints should ask the patients whether they have a history of NRI or other head and neck radiation treatments. Persons who recall being treated or believe they were treated with NRI should inform their physicians of the exposure. Some patients who received this treatment will be worried about it, and need the reassurance that is offered by a thorough and caring examination.

It would seem that BMW reads Autoblog. How else would you explain them, at least partially, answering our question about how a conventional automobile would utilize some of the hybrid demon-tweaks?
For the first time ever, BMW has equipped a non-hybrid car with a regenerative braking system. There's a new battery that uses fiberglass mats between the plates to keep the electrolytes put, and a corresponding "intelligent" alternator. The battery technology, known as Absorbtive Glass Mat construction is capable of being charged very quickly without boiling; and they stand up far better to the deep cycling that would be abusive to a traditional lead-acid battery. The ability to receive and deliver high amperages reliably makes the AGM batteries ideal for coupling with the rest of BMWs Efficient Dynamics program. The battery can be fully charged during braking, which reduces the load on the engine by making the alternator work less. The program's intent is to reduce weight and fuel consumption, ultimately keeping CO2 emissions down. BMWs efforts result in a vehicle that has the low-rolling-resistance tires, electrically operated AC and power steering and stop/start systems of a hybrid, without the electric motors.

- Vanderpump Rules Tom Schwartz Quits PUMP Mondays 9/8c
Kristen Doute
Bravotv.com: Give us a quick primer, how long have you worked at SUR? How did you end up there?
Kristen Doute: I have worked at Sur for five-and-a-half years. My first agent in LA told me about Sur and introduced me to Guillermo. This was when we had all of 12 employees and no liquor license. Now the place has evolved in to this giant LA hotspot. The more employees there are, the more rules we have. I don't do well with change there!
Bravotv.com: Do you feel the same way as Stassi that Scheana was someone who should not be trusted?
KD: Stassi and I do not share a brain. I've been friends with Scheana for years, through my boyfriend Tom. Scheana has a past, as we all do, but that doesn't negatively effect my opinion of her. You can't judge someone until you've walked a mile in their shoes.
Bravotv.com: Do you feel like Stassi's treatment of Scheana was fair? Did you feel for Scheana after seeing her chat with Brandi?
KD: Stassi is who Stassi is, and you can't change her opinion of someone. I don't think she gave Scheana a fair chance and I don't condone the way she treated her. Yet, at the end of the day Stassi is my best friend and my loyalty lies with her. You have to pick your battles and sometimes, with her, it's just easier to turn your cheek.
I felt for Brandi after seeing their conversation! It was really intense and not a position that I would want to be in. The whole Eddie ordeal happened so many years ago and it doesn't define who Scheana is. I know Scheana is truly apologetic that her actions were a part of hurting Brandi.
Bravotv.com: Tell us more about your relationship with Tom? Do you ever get any time in the bathroom?
KD: Oh, God. Tom is hilarious. What you see is what you get. We've been dating for more than four years, which is forever in Hollywood. He's my best friend. We share everything -- including hair products. He doesn't leave the house without that damn flat iron. We definitely compete for mirror time but luckily, we have two bathrooms! He should buy stock in Murray's.
Bravotv.com: What would your dream career look like?
KD: Sooner than later I would like to be able to quit Sur and be working as an actor enough to support myself. I would love to be working on multiple projects at once. I feel truly fulfilled when I'm creating a 3D human being out of a character on a piece of paper. I feel that's when I'm in my element.

Wanna make a horse fly or shoot a rock video only with Legos? Then you're ready for a crash course in tripped-out moviemaking with the whimsical director Michel Gondry, who will discuss his new book You'll Like This Film Because You're In It: The Be Kind Rewind Protocol tonight at the Strand. The how-to guide is based on his Be Kind Rewind exhibit at Deitch earlier this year, in which he created various movie sets (including a train, a city street, and camping grounds) for visitors to shoot their own movies on. A firm believer in the DIY philosophy (i.e., it doesn't matter if a movie is good or bad as long as you made it yourself), Gondry will no doubt be an inspiration to all who attend.

Wisconsin man's '91 Silverado set to hit 1 million miles
by Alex Nunez (RSS feed) on Feb 1st, 2008 at 11:01AM
Talk about finding a good used car. Frank Orsenick bought his '91 Silverado in 1996. At the time, it had 41,000 miles on the clock. After 11 years of service (and a lot of driving), the old pickup is about to reach a milestone. Frank had the oil changed last week, just as he has every 3,000 miles since acquiring the Chevy, and it's sure to be the last one it receives as an everyday-use vehicle. You see, it's just 1,200 miles away from spinning past the 1,000,000-mark on the odometer. When it hits the big number, Frank is going to put his faithful ride into retirement. As for how he got this... Read More

Chubby cocksucker Gabon would be a bit of a joke around the gay scene if it wasn't for the fact that he could give such good head! This plump fella is a submissive dick slurper, gobbling down on much skinnier stud Aco wordlessly. He fixes his gaze at the base of Aco's dick, progressively working his lips closer and closer to that soft fold of flesh where the cock shaft meets the ballsack. Then he insistently pulls Aco's prick into his ass hole, refusing to let his buddy wrap up - he wants it raw! He sucks his man off the rest of the way, taking the load in his mouth and then slyly spitting it all over Aco's face and lips. Crafty fucker!

Dirt cheap and lovely stuff. It's not complicated, but so wonderful and easy to wear - the website lists it as floral, powder and musk, but on me there is very little powder. The musk is deeper and smoother than typical white musks, but not in any way animalic - and I don't get any of the plastic notes that I sometimes find in retailer musks. This lasted 8 hours on me today so I give it excellent marks for lasting power (I purchased this in the oil roll on formulation). This is so clean and fresh and just a tad sexy - perfect for every day wear.

Been waiting forever to try this and finally got around to buying a bottle...(i bought 2 actually) that is silly but its so cheap i figured i give one as a gift. Well...it doesnt smell. at all. I also got "majic" and it does smell and is lovely so i know its not me. it just doesnt smell. pity.
I've been spoiled by etailers, and so I usually stay away from roll-ons you can get at the pharmacy, but I'm glad I didn't pass this one up. Like most musks - and I'm sure I'm not the only person to experience this - it smells acrid and unpleasant in the roll on, but once it hits my skin, it's beautiful. Wet, it's very sweet; on the drydown, the spices come out a bit more, and then it goes back to a more subtle version of the wet stage when it's completely dry. The only problem I've found is that it doesn't last long at all on my skin, but does on my clothes and hair. Still, it's gorgeous. I hope I never have to go without it.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Weird, I got the roll on and have literally rolled it on my entire arm, and I can BARELY smell it (I started with a dab, couldn't smell it, and then just kept applying it). I can smell the tiniest hint of neroli, but not much more than that but my arm feels nice and soft from the oils. Maybe it is me, maybe just a really weak batch? Who knows. I bought this from drugstore.com with a bunch of other things so I only paid the price of the perfume, not too bad for the price to try it out.
I can't believe I never wrote a review on this one. My all time favorite scent. I love it so much. Every time i wear this I get complimented on how lovely I smell. I hugged a new friend the other day and he commented on how amazing I smelled, and someone else said "She always smells amazing. Just smells like Emily, like an angel." and I was thinking this is the first fragrance that has made an impression. I mean a good one. It really doesn't smell like perfume to me. Smells like a soft place or something... I wish I could tell you how it makes me feel. Sometimes I'll just smell myself, or I'll roll this onto the inside of my hoodie so I can smell it every once in a while. There's this under note of sharpened pencils. I love it... I have never tried any other Egyptian musk, so I can't compare it with anything else.

Egyptian Goddess is a gorgeous perfume that melts into skin and becomes very personalized. On me, it's a sensual, sweet, warm musk with hints of soft flowers. It's very smooth and rich; not powdery in the least. At first it reminds me a little of Narciso Rodriguez For Her edp, (in the pink bottle), which is one of my favorite fragrances. Egyptian Goddess starts out as a soft woody musk, and then it gets a little sweeter, and greener as it develops. It retains its warmth throughout wear. Egyptian Goddess provides a dirt-cheap way to enjoy a truly fine, high quality musk that elevates my mood. Something about Egyptian Goddess makes people tell me I "smell good", and that's definitely nice to know. It's a bright, feel-good fragrance that's especially nice on a hot summer day. Lasting power is excellent.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Very nice musk, clean and slightly floral. It's not going to knock your socks off, but it's very pretty and very wearable. A good, serviceable scent that stays close to the skin.
I love this musk but unfortunately this does not last on me or that i just cannot smell it on me. Quite strange as Narcisso for Her will last up to 24hrs on me!
Anyway this r/v is for EG and it is a clean papery type of musk - i can understand what one reviewer meant by it smelling like pencil shavings!! Obviously in a nice way.
I hope that with time this scent will be more apparent to me. Nemets Egyptian Musk does the same thing. When these are mixed with rose absolute the resulting scent is amazing! Just try it. Then it lasts longer on me (as rose on it's own doesnt last on my skin for long either).
I love the compact convenient roll on bottle and maybe am likely to purchase again.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
An old favorite that just gets better and better as you wear it. Soft, sexy and always appropriate and appealing. Not at all 'perfumey'. A slightly floral skin musk that completely melds with your own scent and becomes a part of you. On me it is linear, just deepening and mellowing a bit with time. It lasts for eons, on skin and especially on clothes. I have to shower it off to wear another scent. People always notice this and compliment it; it almost gets frustrating as I will wear my nicer perfumes and not get a peep, but put on good old EG and even strangers will say something.
I buy the big 1.7 oz bottle they offer now, less trouble than ordering the little roll-ons more often. Dirt cheap, but I would still buy it if it cost five times as much.
Oh, I noticed that someone in an earlier review mentioned Sweetcake's World's Best Egyptian Musk. That is some awesome stuff as well (and SUPER dirt cheap - $5 per ounce!), it is a bit darker and perhaps more animalic than EG.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Wow! This smells so good! I never really used any oil scents before, but I was in Longs and saw the Auric Blends display...one thing led to another and all the sudden I'm a fanatic. Egyptian Goddess does smell like "your skin but better". It's very subtle, but so sexy. My boyfriend loves it because you have to be close to smell it, and once it blends with your skin and personal scent, it just smells amazing. I purchased the small roll on bottle at Longs for my purse. Then I went home and ordered the large bottle on their website along with two other fragrances (Coco Mango, which smells exactly like coconut and mango as described, and One Love, which is very sweet with a strong Cherry scent). The large bottle is the same oil, but no roll on applicator...just dab on with your fingers. I use this as an every day scent, and even put it on before I go to bed. :) Truly a beautiful fragrance.

When to use a firewall? The answer to that question is very simple. You should be having the properly configured and workable firewall installed on your computer all the time.
Why, you may ask, should you use the firewall and what exactly it does for your computer?
To explain in a simple terms the firewall is a security system for your computer. Compared to your home or car alarm, the computer firewall will keep your computer out of harm's way by acting as a security buffer (thus a name firewall) between the information stored on your computer and unauthorized attempts to access such information by anyone outside your trusted zone of contacts and web sites (resources you authorize to have an access to your computer).
In maintaining the proper security for your computer it is not only important to have the firewall but it is also important to have the firewall configured and operating properly. Just as your home or car alarm will not stop a thief if it is not installed and running properly, the computer firewall will not prevent an intruder from gaining the unauthorized access to your computer unless it is running and is configured properly
The computer firewall may consist of software (program you have installed or enabled on your computer) and hardware (a piece of equipment that sits in between your computer and the unsecured Internet connection) or it may be the combination of both. Depending on the size of the network (how many computers the firewall is protecting) you can have a simple or a complex firewall set in place. But in the end regardless of the topology and the complexity the basic principle and operation of the computer firewall can be simplified to few general observations.
What value does your private information (stored on your computer) have to a potential intruder? The answer is a lot. Even if you do not use your computer to store any personal information (social security number, bank and credit card numbers, address, phone number, contact list of your friends and associates, etc.) your computer can be still a potential tool to an intruder that he or she may use to launch further attacks against the targets of more value.
Commonly referred as zombie computers or collectively as
botnet groups such compromised computers had been used to relay spam to other machines, launch crippling attacks to web sites and other machines (distributed denial of services or DDoS attacks, hacking attempts, etc.) and more. And in most of times the computer owner is not even aware that their computer is used for such malicious purpose (those processes may be running in stealth mode in background of the legitimately running processes on your computer).
However the more inherent danger of the potential breach is the confidential information that may be stored on your computer. Many of us nowadays use our computers to maintain our finances and investments, pay our bills and safe keep other important information. All this is the prime target and a grand prize for the intruder who may be trying to gain an access to your computer. And it is not just home computer users that are facing this problem. Many big businesses and corporations had recently been victims of the security breach and data theft (hackers breaching the corporate firewall and stealing tens of thousands of credit card numbers from store database, breaches to the government agencies storing the personal information such as social security numbers, etc).
The above is just the tip of the iceberg of what is happening nowadays with computers worldwide and one more reason why you should make sure not only that you have a firewall in place but also make sure your firewall is configured properly and is actively protecting your computer from intruders aiming to break into it.
The easiest way to explain how the computer firewall works is to compare your computer to a big box full of all sorts of things and items. The computer firewall organizes such items in security zones based on your instructions and input and gives an access to this information based on rules you specify. Comparing to the box analogy, the firewall places different items from big box into many smaller boxes and places a lock on each of them. It than decides whom to give a key for each box based on what you had instructed it to do and remembers those decisions when a person attempts to access items stored in each box.
Such smaller boxes in computer terms are called zones and you may have many zones. While different firewall configurations may be naming or grouping those in different ways the principle is still the same, the zones organize the information stored on your computer into a spectrum from the information that is available for anyone to access to the information (GENERAL ZONE) that only a person with confirmed credentials can access (RESTRICTED ZONE). You may also have many steps configured in between that may be a mix between General (unrestricted access) zone and Restricted (private protected access zone).
While there is not a 100% wrong or right way to configure your computer firewall (different people develop their own recipe of how they like their firewall to work based on their own preferences and needs), I in general like to have multiple layers of firewall that are mix of hardware and software.
Hardware firewall is a device installed in between your computer and the outside network. The benefit of the hardware firewall is that it is less dependent on the physical state of the host computer as is the case with the software firewall. Therefore the hardware firewall will less likely become compromised due to the user error (disabling the feature by accidentally clicking on it, etc.).
The hardware firewall can also protect multiple computers at the single location allowing you to set more uniform security policy (rules for access to information stored on your computers) across many computers within your network. Because of this the hardware firewall was more preferred choice for company and corporate firewall security.
The other dissuasive factor that hardware firewall had in past for the home owner was the cost of such device. Large corporations have large budgets and are able to spend tens of thousands of dollars or more that the typical hardware firewall can sometimes cost but for a home user this big expenditure is typically out of the question and out of the budget.
This has recently changed with the introduction of hardware firewall devices that may cost from hundred to couple hundred dollars but still give relatively high level of the protection and security against the would be intruder trying to break into the computer. Such companies as Secure Computing (recently bought by McAfee) and FortiNet all have the SOHO (small office home office) firewall units that are relatively inexpensive but highly effective in preventing the intrusion to your computer. Even companies like Linksys, D-Link or Netgear had recently started offering the inexpensive hybrid router/firewall units capable of providing the extra level of security for a home computer network or a single computer unit at a very affordable price. Therefore the good old excuse "it's to expensive for me to own" no longer applies as a reason of not incorporating the hardware firewall to your arsenal of computer protection tools.
Software firewalls as name implies, are computer software that is typically installed on a host computer and that prevent the would be intruder from gaining the unauthorized access to your computer. Most computers nowadays coma standard with the software firewall being part of operating system (all Windows XP and Vista computers as well as Mac OS have the basic firewall built into it).
While cheaper to deploy the software firewalls are more prone to mis-configuration or being disabled by accident and unbeknown to the computer owner (clicking on OK to give the web site permanent access will bypass the firewall rules set in place, accidentally disabling firewall altogether etc.).
However the software firewall does have some advantages over the hardware firewall. It is more portable and will always follow the host computer on which is installed. The hardware firewall on other hand is more stationary piece of computer defense and as such can be bypassed by simply removing the computer from its realm of protection (taking your laptop away from your office or home and working on the road,etc.).
Hybrid firewalls are the mixture of software and hardware layer for an optimal protection. The hardware firewall is installed as a stationary layer of defense aimed at more durability and security while the computer is inside of the protected network while the software firewall is installed and configured as fail-safe option in case of the hardware firewall failure or in scenarios where the computer is removed from the realm of hardware firewall's range of protection (laptop and mobile computer users, etc).
Using the hybrid approach (combination of hardware and software) is my recommendation for having an effective and working level of protection against the intruders looking to break inside your computer but either way you decide it is important to have at least something available, configured and running in place of your computer firewall.
Ignoring the fact or simply thinking that you do not need to have a firewall installed and running on your computer may be a costly and dangerous mistake not only for you but also for people who are playing it safe (unsecured and unprotected computers being turned into zombie machines and botnets used for illegal and unethical means by the hackers and criminals). So make sure your computer is protected adequately and have the working and properly configured firewall incorporated as a part of your computer defense alongside your anti-virus and anti-spam software.

Home » Film » Latest Full Trailer For A Good Day To Die Hard
Jack McClane actually seems pretty respectful of his dad. It's the old man who gets to drop the rude lines in this trailer. I guess that counts as subverting the subgenre. I guess it also counts as Willis playing to type.

Nadya Suleman: Under Investigation By DCFS Over "Horrendous" Living Conditionsby Free Britney at . Comments
Octomom Nadya Suleman is under investigation by the La Habra (Calif.) Police Department and the Orange County Department of Children and Family Services after her stylist filed a complaint about the abhorrent living conditions at her house.
Her hairstylist, Stephanie, called the cops on her Tuesday.
According to Steph, Nadya and her 14 kids live in squalor, using only one working toilet, appearing malnourished and generally unclean, getting locked in the bedroom while Octomom does stuff, and surrounded by filth at every turn.
When a police and three DCFS workers arrived yesterday, you can actually hear Octomom tell them, "Excuse the graffiti" in a video posted on TMZ.
The authorities stayed 90 minutes and left. They determined the kids were not in danger so they weren't removed, but the investigation continues.
Photos of the scene confirmed Stephanie's claims, as one pic shows two kids clearly defecating into a portable training toilet ... in the backyard.Another picture shows Nadya Suleman with her hair having just been done, and having propped up a chair against the door to keep her offspring out.
Yet another pic shows the children's bedroom, with two cribs and a mattress. Stephanie said some of the 14 kids are forced to sleep on the floor.
Some of the kids are also shown in the backyard, barefoot, neglected, dirty and wearing no pants. Boys are wearing girls' clothes in some cases.
Stephanie said of blowing the whistle, "The kids are in desperate need of help, and I tried to help and she's not open to anyone helping her."
Octomom recently went on welfare to help feed her brood, a decision that was greeted with death threats and vandalism from angry neighbors.
With 14 mouths to feed and Octomom nude pics not commanding the cash they once would have, she's constantly swimming upstream.
Has the time come for the children to live elsewhere? Discuss.
[Photo: Fame/Flynet]
@ Shiela Hout.....I don't know if you saw one of the latest interviews that she gave or not. But in that interview, she stated that people and organizations have offered their help and services, but she refused it because of her 'pride'. I don't care how you look at it...selfishness, neglect, self absorbed, and stupidity are all her major characteristics. She gets over, I believe it was $1500 a month in food stamps, and I don't know how much in cash from the State. No 'mother' should put her looks and 'fun' ahead of her children. She was sure she would get a reality show, but it didn't happen. Now since her children are no longer a meal ticket, it appears she neglects them. Don't you agree that they deserve better than what their mother is giving them and doing to them? Instead of looking for help for 'Poor Octomom', why doesn't the state do their job and take over!?!? We have enough homeless and hungry children in our country. Do we want to see 14 more???
Nancy, nobody will ever have the need to call the police because my daughter is very well taken care of and loved. I honestly hope you get the help you so very desperately need! And no they don't take your children away from you when you do what you're supposed to and to wish that on someone else. You are a very sad and pathetic individual. Or if you understand it better this way...You Be Dumb Lady Bad Mom
Am I the only one that thinks there is something not quite right about Nadya? I think she needs to be evaluated, by a mental health professional. She has not acted sane, from the moment she was brought to the attention, of the public. That is not a very good environment, for anyone, especially children.
BEBE I Hope They Come And Take Your Kids Too All Of You Guys And Gals Get A Life My English Is Find IAM Not Mexican Faith Go Jump In A Lake Nancy Glaviano-AVILA YES THE CPS WILL TAKE YOUR KIDS IF YOU ARE GOOD PARENT OR A BAD PARENT
Ms. Sulemon needs some children taken away and never given back....about 14 of them! She is likely never going to change and only when one or more of these kids is dead will someone rise up and say "Why didn't someone do something?" The DCFS bleeding-heart system needs a little tweaking...some people just shouldn't be parents EVER and she is one of them!
Why in the hell she is getting her hair done by a stylist and she can not feed her babies. She has her priorities in the wrong order, her children should come first. Most mothers would think of their children and not how their hair is looking. Why would she think she could be come famous for having so many children is beyond me. Because 19 kids in count is stupid also, was that her motivation. I feel sorry for the kids, I don't think they should be taken away, but she should be given the skills and parental training to provide a better life for her children and also a job. Even if the job is at a fast food restaurant. And the father needs to step up and provide some type of support. Her looking to be famous was not bright idea as she see now. Good luck and may God bless those children.
wow, she is getting her hair done and her kids have no shoes, barely any clothes on and not fed....what a winner she is
That was her choice to keep the children. Now it is her responiablity to care for them. Her job to keep them clean, fed. She acting like a teenager now. she needs to grow up!
@nancy wtf are u trying to say? If we are going to comment, can we please make sense ir proper English please. Thanks. They need to put those kids elsewhere, where they can be well kept, clean and fed. Those poor kids. Y on earth would u have children, when u know you cant provide for them? I mean come on really?
Nancy, learn the language before you waste anyone's time trying to post. If your kids were taken away then there is a good reason. If family was forced to call the cops on you and your husband then shame on you for making them have to do that! Take care of your kids! As for Suleman, she needs all her kids taken away! What a selfish B***h! How do you pay for a hairdresser to make house visits and then make the kids weare no clothes or wrong gender clothes and potty in the yard?!?!? Amazing!

Happy Mother's Day, Mom.
That phrase will be said millions of times today in the U.S. as sons and daughters thank their mothers for lifetimes of love, help and support. And in those years, moms have built up a lot of memories, some funny, some sad, some that warm the heart.
The Times Free Press asked mothers to send in their favorite memories of being a mom, a moment when their pride at being a mother swelled to almost bursting. Here are their responses.
Recently, we went on a trip and were gone almost three weeks. My oldest son was to pick us up at the airport when we returned. When we arrived at the airport, there was not just one son, but all three were there to welcome us home. I had really missed them, but did not know they had missed me in spite of their busy lives.
Martha Dyer Kaiser,
ChattanoogaOur freshman daughter, Melissa, invited me to her sorority's Mother-Daughter Day at the University of Tennessee. Mothers had flown in from all over the country to be introduced to the sorority sisters and their moms. These women held very impressive and influential careers, a CFO, bank president, judge, business entrepreneur, etc. Toward the end of the recognitions, it was Melissa's turn to introduce her mother. She stood and very proudly stated, "This is my mother, Terry. She stays home and takes care of my four younger brothers." I had never been so honored to be a mother. I was the richest woman in the room that day. My career as a full-time mother had been validated by one of the most important people in my world. Melissa is currently utilizing her master's degree by being a stay-at-home mother who home schools her own three young children.
Terry Matthews,
ChattanoogaThe first time it really hit me that I was a mother was the third day in the hospital after giving birth to my oldest son, Hunter. I had been so busy with nurses, doctors, secretaries, family and insurance companies, I didn't really have time to think about it. I was so caught up on the legal end and making sure everything was taken care of, I hadn't thought about my precious newborn baby actually being here. It was my first Mother's Day as a new mom with a 3-day-old baby when we had a moment all to ourselves. He yawned and wrapped his tiny little hand around my finger. Tears of joy flowed from my eyes. In that short bonding moment, I realized that I had just experienced the absolute most amazing thing in the world: I had experienced unconditional love. He created motherhood for me. Eight years later, he is still and will always be my baby.
Ashley Swafford,
ChattanoogaMy son gave me beautiful cards, each one treasured and tucked away, but the ones I treasure the most were written by his own little hand. When he was about 8, we came in from an evening out and on an old typewriter a crooked note said, "Dear Johnny & Bobby, I love you very much, I don't know what I would do without you. Your son Robert." When he was 11, a note said, "Dear Mother, This is all I had to give you, go out and buy whatever you can. I hope you enjoy it. Love, Your son, Robert." Tucked in the note was his allowance, a dollar. The note and dollar are framed, sitting on my dresser.
Johnny Hickey,
Red BankI have a sweet mom story, I guess it's really a sweet family story, but I was so proud to be a mom and a wife with this one. When my son Teddy started preschool, his teacher was going through the usual questions: address, phone, etc. She asked him what his Dad's name was and he said, same as his, Teddy, which was correct. She then asked him was his mother's name was. Since my husband had always called me "Honey," he promptly told the teacher that his mom's name was Honey. Although 26 now, with a son of his own, he's still my sweet little boy and I'm still Honey.
Marilyn Engel,
Dayton, Tenn.Jessica graduated with honors at age 17 and decided to attend a college in North Carolina. We were a bit put off by her choice -- she was so young! -- and North Carolina was far away. But she won out and, on the day she was to depart, we (bravely) took her to the airport to start her new life as a young adult. At the end of a long hallway, we kissed her goodbye, she slung her backpack over her shoulders, and off she went. I was quaking and tearful; my "baby" was on her way. I watched her disappear into the crowded corridor -- and she never once looked back. I knew then I had entered a new phase of motherhood called "Let her fly." She is a mother herself now, very happily married, has a professional career, and we are proud of her and how our years of care paid off.
Sally Hendrick,
Pikeville, Tenn.As my mind travels through the years, I'm reminded how my young son would always want me to pay him for the little things I asked him to do around the house -- taking out the garbage, mowing the lawn. By coincidence, I came across a gospel record by Shirley Caesar titled "No Charge." I purchased it, came home and played it a few times. Hearing the words from this song, my son did his chores and never asked me for pay again. As the years went by, my heart would beam as he told me how I got my point across and he understood the cost of real love is no charge.
Johnnie M. Johnson Smith,
ChattanoogaFresh from the womb, I examined the wrinkly hands of my newborn daughter with an endless surge of love pouring out of my heart. This must be what God's love is like for me. I didn't know I had it in me to love so deeply. Another transcendent experience awaited me when daughter No. 2 was born. Apprehensive that my love supply might run out, the exact opposite overwhelmed every fiber of my being. The love I had for my second took nothing away from my first. Birthing two more babies became profound places of divine appointments, transforming me in ways I never imagined. Thirty-one years later, I now experience this transcendent love through my three grandchildren. What joy I have watching my daughters as mothers. The divine stream of love continues.
Judy Herman,
Flintstone, Ga.The time was March of 1993. The place was Parris Island, Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Beaufort, S.C. I was standing in the parents waiting area with all the other anxious parents. Then we saw them, marching towards us in perfect formation. I spotted my 23-year-old son, Darren, and the tears rolled. He had become a man, a military man, a defender of our country. How proud I was of his decision to volunteer for the Marine Corps and be eager to defend our great flag. The graduation ceremony was the next day and to see all the graduating young men, including my son, was the day I was truly a mother, a mother of a Marine. Semper Fi!
Joanne Leach,
Rossville, Ga.In 1954, I married a man who had a 7-year-old son, Dennis Allison. I really did not know all a "mom" had to do. Through the years, we both learned how to love, share, care, instruct and follow rules; everything growing up requires. Then along came Kathy Allison, my oldest daughter. Time turned back to taking care of a beautiful baby girl. This was different from a 7-year-old, so "we" took care and raised her for four years. Thank God for that second little bundle we named Stephania; she really taught us the "life." I could not only not get out of her sight, I had to be in her hearing distance, so I sang from morning till night. All three are very dear to me and, at age 88, they make me feel much younger and care for me like a baby.
June Allison,
Soddy-DaisyWhen you are a kid, you never realize that your Mom makes many sacrifices for you. You know she loves you. You know she gives hugs, encouragement and food every day. You get that jacket everybody wants, that you have to have. If you run out of tea, she gives it to you and doesn't save any for herself. That is a Mom. God programmed her to like this. Mom does this not because she has to but because she wants to. I had three children. One evening we had chicken for supper. We had excellent pieces but two thighs. I don't like thighs. I was first to choose a piece. I chose a thigh. I realized: "I am a real Mom." I chose to do this not because I had to but because I wanted to.
Linda Fortner,
Lookout ValleyMy most favorite and precious memory was on Oct. 3, 1988, when my newborn daughter Amanda was placed in my arms. My husband and I had tried to have children for many years. We chose the route of adoption, which took a couple of years. Mid-September 1988, we were notified that a birth mother had chosen us, but we did not know the sex of the child until she was born on Sept. 30. We drove to Nashville to pick up our daughter and, when she was placed in my arms, I knew it was meant to be and I truly was a Mother then.
Karen West,
Cleveland, Tenn.June 29, 1967, was the greatest day of my life for I gave birth to my son, Richard Walter Pickett. He has made my life great. He is so good to me, always looking out for me, and just being around him is the greatest joy a mother can feel. He has a family of his own now, and he is not just a great son but a great husband and father. He has his own company, and I am so proud of all that he has accomplished and the kind of young, Christian man he is. Growing up we had no problems with him. He is so thoughtful to others and has a heart of gold; when someone needs something, he will be there to lend a helping hand. I wish all sons could be as good and kind and thoughtful as he is, then moms would not have to worry so much. It thrills my heart when he says "Mom"; that is the sweetest word ever to my ears
Kay Pickett,
HixsonWe were not able to have our own biological children. But by faith I started a nursery, adding a little at a time. After being married 14 years and praying for all of those years, we finally got "the call" that there was a baby boy for us. We were thrilled. In April of 1992 we got this precious bundle from the Lord. Holding him in my arms was the moment that I finally felt like I was a mother. He sure has made life fun and interesting. No more sad tears on Mother's Day. We have been told that he looks like us. Psalm 113:9: "He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord."
Chris Porter,
HixsonI have so many memories of my three children, two girls and one boy, but the one that really stands out in my mind is when they were very young. In the evening they would go into their room and start to play with their dolls, G.I. Joes and stuffed animals. They would start to talk nonstop and their sweet little voices were just darling. They talked for hours and then it would get quiet. I would check on them and they had fallen asleep in bed among the dolls, G.I. Joes, stuffed toys, books and crayons. Just to hear them talk with their sweet little voices -- priceless.
Betty Palmer,
ChattanoogaAs a mother I realized that you love your kids at all times and will always put their needs above yours. You will never stop worrying about them, and you have to do lots of praying when they are far away from you or right down the street. You will love to see them smile and be proud of their accomplishments. As a mother, I take lots of pictures and cherish the memories for the time goes so fast. Thank God each day for the time you had with them and pray that when they are parenting that they learn from your mistakes. My favorite memory of being a mother is when we are all together laughing and talking and sharing great times. I am a blessed mother-stepmother to the best kids in the world -- Kendra, Kara, Justin, Anthony and Jax. I love you all.
