A (Wait, It's Already Midseason?) Midseason Report
Terry and his buddy Larry.Just when you thought the NBA lockout was taking all of the shine away from Your Dallas Mavericks and their 2011 NBA Championship, news like this comes along: Atlanta rapper Young Jeezy booked Jason Terry and his preemptive Larry O'Brien Trophy bicep tattoo to star in hi ... More >>
While contemplating defensive coordinator Dwane Casey's departure to be the Toronto Raptors' head coach and whom they should take with the 26th pick in Thursday's NBA Draft, a couple more Mavs-related items buzzed through my brain this week. 1. Who from the championship team s ... More >>
Whether you've reached the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt's End: *Jason Terry's voice is still hoarse from all the partying and cigars, but yet we're already peeking at 2012. Problem: The Mavs aren't a team built for the future, but rather the here-'n-now ... More >>
Mark Cuban, Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavs shed labels and the Miami Heat on the way to their first NBA championship.
As I watched Mark Cuban and Dirk Nowitzki try to keep an eye and arm on their new NBA Finals and NBA Finals MVP trophies, all the while swigging from a bottle of bubbly as big as a small pony, it struck me just how perfect this night was. The Mavericks -- those soft lil' Mav-wrecks -- were he ... More >>
10. You knew it was going to be an intense game ... even before the game. During shootaround at American Airlines Arena this afternoon neither Dwyane Wade nor LeBron James would respond to Dirk Nowitzki calling their mocking video "childish" and "ignorant." Their response: "We have no comment." B ... More >>
Simple. If their reserve players don't perform better, the Mavericks will lose the NBA Finals. And that starts tonight in Game 4 at the American Airlines Center. Jason Terry has to be more productive than the player who has shot only 38 percent and failed to produce a 20-point game. But who ... More >>
Mavericks revenge is a dish best served with Heat.
On Mother's Day, the Mavericks' reserves combined to score 86 points. In Game 1 of the NBA Finals, the Mavs' entire team managed only 84. Granted the Miami Heat are a bitch defensively. They are quick and fast and long and they did a fantastic job of chasing the Mavericks off the 3-point li ... More >>
Sorry to pee on your Memorial Day barbecue, but you gotta get mad one more time before we can get even. Revenge, after all, is best served ... in South Beach. I know only Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Terry remain for the Mavericks and Udonis Haslem and Dwyane Wade remain on the Heat from the 2006 ... More >>
10. Much as I'm giddy over the victory and the Mavs' second berth in the NBA Finals, I'm almost as happy for the way they handled the win. No confetti on the floor. No champagne in the locker room. Not even a drop of celebratory Ginger Ale. Says Dirk Nowitzki, "It's a great moment. But we've ... More >>
10. You knew the Thunder wouldn't be content to lose another game of one-on-one with Dirk Nowitzki. They fronted him in the post. They doubled him. They held him to 29 points. Nick Collison, touche. And, you're right, that's something I thought I'd never type. 9. Mavs coach Rick Carlisle is ... More >>
The Game 2 Hero: Peja10. When the Mavs play with emotion and efficiency, they are tough to beat. Last night the intensity was there courtesy of Jason Terry, Tyson Chandler and the spunky J.J. Barea. And so was the execution, to the tune of a franchise-record low six turnovers -- including ... More >>
Jason Terry is lying. Watched Mavs 98, Rockets 91 last night at a local watering hole in McKinney's downtown square, and it's obvious that he thought the score was tied when he stepped to the free-throw line with 1.5 seconds left in regulation. Problem: It wasn't. Dallas actually trailed b ... More >>
Whether his angle is salient or not, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban isn't afraid to talk. And it seems veteran guard Jason Terry is popping off every other week about the Mavs catching the Spurs or having the best bench in the NBA or something else equally daft. But, as has been the case ... More >>
And over here -- in the opposite corner from your red-hot Texas Rangers -- sit your Dallas Mavericks. Bruised. Bloodied. Slump-shouldered. Ready for the NBA Playoffs? At a time when they should peaking, the Mavs are pratfalling. After winning the first three games on their western road tri ... More >>
While I was out last week the Dallas Mavericks blew a seven-point lead in the final minute in a flabbergasting loss in New Orleans. Afterward, head coach Rick Carlisle called his team "soft." Veteran shooting guard Jason Terry bristled at the suggestion, saying "I'm not soft, not me. I don't ... More >>
Landmark win by your Dallas Mavericks last night at American Airlines Center, 109-100, over the Los Angeles Lakers? Maybe. But, eh, probably not. Most important, it broke a six-game losing streak. But it also lets them boast this achievement: Wins this season over the Spurs, Celtics, H ... More >>
Sure, no Dirk hurt. But Terry's 3-for-16 shooting hurt much worse last night.Two minutes and 13 seconds. That's all it took for the San Antonio Spurs to turn a two-point lead against the Dallas Mavericks into a 16-point lead with nearly nine minutes remaining in the second half. After Georg ... More >>
The Dallas Mavericks fell apart in the fourth quarter last night in Utah. In the last 12 minutes they had more turnovers (7) than baskets (5). Not good. A lead vanished into a four-point deficit and, ultimately, a blowout loss to a Jazz team playing without Carlos Boozer. Yikes. That's three ... More >>
Amazing that Mavericks sixth man Jason Terry hasn't turned into a jumbo JET after the soda and wing-joint endorsements. Now the shooting guard has found a way to combine his love of food and charitable causes. Today the Hard Rock Cafe Dallas will unveil the Jason Terry Legendary Burger, available ... More >>
Dirk looks excited about the season. You?Last time we saw our Dallas Mavericks it wasn't pretty was ugly. Jason Terry was flopping (only 15 points per game), the defense was floundering (surrendering 115 per game) and owner Mark Cuban was flapping (his gums at Kenyon Martin's mom) in ... More >>
No Jason Terry. No Gatorade dump. Hindsight, they say, is 20/20. Sometimes, unfortunately, so is foresight. On Friday, May 1 I picked the Denver Nuggets to eliminate the Dallas Mavericks in five games. Last night it came to pass, in the form of Nuggets 124, Mavs 110. Dirk Nowitzki was as grit ... More >>
Whether you're at the end of your rope or merely the end of your week, welcome to Whitt's End: *Barring a trade, the Cowboys won't make their first pick (51st overall) in tomorrow's NFL Draft until around 9:30 p.m., a good six hours after the thing kicks off. But it's worth it to tune in early.  ... More >>
Because the Mavs beat one of the worst teams in the NBA, they may get to avoid playing the best. Embarrassing that the Dallas Mavericks had to pull a leftover Easter rabbit out of their hat last night against the Minnesota Timberwolves at American Airlines Center. But in this economy ... sorr ... More >>
While the ESPN blowhards breathlessly dissect moves - and non-moves - involving Larry Hughes (yawn), Rafer Alston (eh) and Nate Robinson (zzz), it's apparent the Mavericks weren't lying when they told us they liked their current roster. Dallas = No trade(s). One reason may be the sudd ... More >>
My Top 10 observations from last night's Mavs' romp: 10. Mark Cuban really really really really loves him some Jason Kidd. "He's got the most incredible basketball sense I've seen in my entire life," says Cuban. I've never liked the Devin Harris-Kidd deal, but apparently - and appropriately - the ow ... More >>
Ah, the good ol' days? He played hard every night. Some nights – the 1-of-17 pratfall in Game 5 of the 2001 playoffs in San Antonio comes to mind – not too well, but always hard. And, with just a pinch of revisionist history turning all those fadeaway jumpers into aggressive drives to the ho ... More >>
Make-or-break year for him. And his team. Don't believe it. The Mavericks, overnight, did not grow old and tired and shitty. Everywhere you surf entering tonight's opener against the Houston Rockets – especially here – you hear how Dallas will be lucky to win 45ish games and lucky to ... More >>
Sam Merten Willa you sign these? Mike Modano and the missus in Frisco Saturday, during that celeb charity baseball thing.

Think the swing man can swing a club? Aaay-oh! If you can launch it 330-plus off the tee and could use an extra $125,000, get your golf groove down to Victory Park today for The Gatorade Tiger Moonshot Challenge. Tiger Woods won't be there. Nor John Daly. But Dallas Mavericks guard Jason ... More >>
You did know FC Dallas was undefeated, no? Well, then, there ya go. Brought to you by the good folks who sometimes give you Monday Morning Meanderings: As noted this a.m., The Cowboys finally acquired Adam "Pacman" Jones for a fourth-round draft choice.

The Smashing Pumpkins, at the Nokia Theatre in Grand Prairie last Sunday, love the DFW -- or, at the very least, our wimmins. Best show ever? So says drummer Jimmy Chamberlin in this brief clip, his reasons amplified by a grinning, thumbs-up William Corgan Jr. In other pickings from the local random ... More >>
Jason Terry's personal chef stole $52,000 from the Mavs point guard. He clearly needs to work on his defense in the off-season. Jason "JET" Terry's a fine ball player for Your Dallas Mavericks, worth every penny of his $8.9 mil annual salary, more or less. Apparently, the guard's also a picky eater, ... More >>
This is a distress alert from the North Texas Sports Disaster Service. Trained spotters in Dallas have pinpointed ominous circulation and the possibility of an unprecedented and fatal occurrence of destruction in and around the American Airlines Center. A severe warning has been issued until, oh, sa ... More >>
How did the refs not call the Lakers' late-game foul committed against Jason Terry last night? Oh, well. At least he didn't fumble the ball. Rowdy West Coast fans. Banged-up home team playing without a couple starters but with a former MVP trying to lead his team back to the championship. A contro ... More >>
I know what I'm not doing Thursday night: watching ABC's lame-ass, over-promoted Master of Champions. And because the Mavs weren't as mature or as mentally invincible as they tricked us into thinking for nine months, I also won't be watching Game 7 of the NBA Finals. The Mavs' complete collapse from ... More >>
The morning-after round-up won't be as much fun should the Dallas Mavericks drop a game or four to the Miami Heat; who wants to search thousands of articles detailing your home team's butt-whooping, when it's bad enough to read just one? Thankfully, this morning's newsstand is filled with good news- ... More >>
Jason Terry won't be there, but the rest of Dallas should be. When the Dallas Mavericks host the San Antonio Spurs tonight at 8:30 in Game 6 of the NBA Western Conference Semifinals at the American Airlines Center, it will be this town's most important sporting event since the Dallas Cowboys hosted ... More >>
In case you haven't heard the ridiculous news yet, the Mavs have taken a serious blow to their lineup for tomorrow night's playoff game against the Spurs. Starting guard Jason Terry has received a one-game suspension for "punching San Antonio's Michael Finley" during last night's game. Really? Watch ... More >>
I went to the American Airlines Center Monday night and was reminded why we love sports: because for three heart-stopping, adrenalin-pumping hours, we forgot about the first ex-wife, the second mortgage and the four tires that need rotating. Mavs 123, Spurs 118 had everything. Villains (Tim Duncan) ... More >>

Don't expect Ian Simon and the Missouri Tigers to feel any entitlement or pay attention to their Top 10 national ranking.Simon and his teammates still have work to do."We tune all of that out, and no one has bought in to the noise," said Simon, a redshirt sophomore safety out of Mansfield Legacy. "We know what it's like to be on the bottom. We just have to remain humble."Last season, Mizzou finished fifth in the SEC East, had an overall record of 5-7 and didn't play in a bowl game for the first time since 2004. With a win against Texas A&M Saturday, however, the Tigers will finish the regular season with only one loss and play either Alabama or Auburn in the SEC championship game. "This season has been extra special," Simon said. "As a kid, you dream of playing in the spotlight. As a team, we just circled the wagons. We committed ourselves to our assignments. We learned how to depend on teammates. All of this was there last year, it's just grown."Simon finished the 2012 season strong, with six tackles in a 59-29 loss at A&M. A strong off-season has paid off for Simon, who was named the team's most improved safety after spring practices. Simon has played in 10 of Mizzou's 11 games and recorded 33 tackles (17 solo), with an interception, five pass breakups and two tackles for loss."I think it's been a combination of decent playing time and me understanding my role," Simon said. "I've matured as a competitor. Your opponent is going to land some punches. You just have to land more."The final hurdle between the Tigers and a conference championship game in Atlanta is a big one: the Aggies, led by reigning Heisman trophy winner Johnny Manziel, who could be playing his final regular season game."I'm looking forward to it," Simon said. "It will be a great atmosphere. We will have to play disciplined football. Johnny Manziel can do some amazing things."Everyone at home will be watching."Games of the week No. 2 Florida State at Florida (11 a.m. Saturday, ESPN): Either Florida (4-7, 3-5 SEC) got caught looking ahead to Florida State (11-0, 8-0 SEC), or the injury-riddled Gators are just horrendous this season. Maybe it's a combination, but Florida lost to FCS Georgia Southern last weekend to cement a losing season. Now the Gators get to content with one of the best teams in the nation, while the 'Noles are trying to finish off a perfect regular season and stay ahead of Ohio State in the BCS rankings. There could be more garnet and gold in the stands of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium than orange and blue. No. 3 Ohio State at Michigan (11 a.m. Saturday, WFAA/Ch. 8): Ohio State (11-0, 7-0 Big Ten) is fighting national perception, as well as Michigan (7-4, 3-4 Big Ten) in a rivalry game this week. Even though the Buckeyes haven't lost a game since Urban Meyer took over at the start of the 2012 season, Ohio State could end up without a BCS championship shot again. And Michigan has played poorly enough this season that a blowout win in Ann Arbor, Mich., likely won't boost the Buckeyes, who have already earned a spot in the Big Ten championship game. No. 1 Alabama at No. 4 Auburn (2:30 p.m. Saturday, KTVT/Ch. 11): It's rivalry week in college football, and none will be bigger this year than Alabama (11-0, 7-0 SEC) at Auburn (10-1, 6-1 SEC). The winner goes to the SEC championship game in Atlanta, and if that's Bama, the Crimson Tide's march for a third straight BCS championship will still be alive. Bama might be a bit more rested after an easy, 49-0 win against Chattanooga last weekend while Auburn needed a 73-yard miracle completion on fourth down with 25 seconds left to beat Georgia. But the Tigers have home field for what should be a memorable Iron Bowl. No. 6 Clemson at No. 10 South Carolina (6 p.m. Saturday, ESPN2): Clemson (10-1, 7-1 ACC) started the season off with a huge home win against then-Top 10-ranked Georgia. The Tigers will try to finish the regular season with another monster win, this time on the road at rival South Carolina (9-2, 6-2 SEC). This will likely be the final home game for South Carolina junior defensive lineman Jadeveon Clowney, who is projected as a top pick in the NFL Draft, and watching him face off against Clemson senior quarterback Tajh Boyd will be must-see TV. If the Gamecocks can win, they still have a shot at playing in the SEC championship game, but they need Texas A&M to defeat Missouri as well.Numbers 6 More conference wins than last season for the Auburn Tigers, who have climbed to No. 4 in the BCS standings. Auburn, which plays No. 1 Alabama at home this week, has already secured the biggest turnaround in SEC history. 16 Years since No. 22 UCLA has defeated No. 23 USC at the Los Angeles Coliseum. UCLA will try to end that streak Saturday against a resurgent Trojans squad that has won five straight with interim head coach Ed Orgeron, who took over in the middle of the season.Quotable"I'm not sure what I do, to be honest." — First-year Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn after being asked if he fries or roasts his Thanksgiving turkey. Malzahn has other things to worry about, like an Iron Bowl matchup between his Tigers and Alabama, with a trip to the SEC championship game in Atlanta on the line. Malzahn didn't play up the game, however, saying: "We're not going to hype things up. It's big enough already." "Wow. Apologize." — Ohio State coach Urban Meyer after being informed that he once called his team's rival Michigan, its actual name. Meyer has made a point to use other terms, including "that team up north," during his time with the Buckeyes. Michigan's name and logo are even missing from the Ohio State schedule posted in its athletic center. The Buckeyes will play that team up north on the road this week.

Drop off was swift and sweet. If I were to grade them, I'd give them an A+
Not a thing, very pleasant experience.
Operator was happy to help correct my mistake of ordering the wrong size trailer (too small). Quick fix and on the way. Thanks.
Not enough equipment. Wanted 2 dollies and they only had one.
great service and truck ran good. disappointed that nothing bigger than a 17 foot truck was available.
Very friendly service. Truck needs engine maintenance.
Had just what I asked for when I got there. Very professional and courteous. Easy in easy out. The best place I have found so far to rent in Champaign County
We were not given the 10 mile discount promised to us when we reserved it because original location wasn't available and this location was far away. My husband returned the uhaul hours before it was due. He put $31.00 in gas in it. The gas gage didn't move. When he returned the truck the man was very unprofessional. He would not take the 10 miles off as promised and he was going to charge for gas He basically called my husband a liar and said he didn't put gas in it. I will provide you the charge from bank if requested!!!! We will never recommend this location to pick up a U-Haul and at this point I don't know if we would ever recommend U-Haul to anyone. We will never use them again!!
i live in rantoul which is 15 mins from urbana ill when picking the uhaul up they where told would no mileage in rantoul it the drive to rantoul and back urbana then charge 55.24 for miles due to your location really
Upon returning the truck, the salesman whose job it was to check the fuel level took it upon himself to run the truck for a few minutes before checking the fuel level. Of course the gage read lower than was required on the contract. Although, I was not charged for returning the truck with less gas than was stated (which is great). I was in the store, but one of my friends was sitting outside of the shop and informed me of this as we left the premises. This is unacceptable at best.
Very helpful, friendly
The Judy's staff was excellent - accomodating, personable, friendly, and genuine. Service was fast. Way better than u-haul store on University.

Homestay is a form of tourism and/or study abroad that allows a visitor to rent a room from a local family. It is sometimes used for improving language skills and getting familiar with the local lifestyle.[1] Homestays can occur anywhere in the world, but certain countries encourage homestay as a means of developing their tourism industry.[2] Hosting a homestay participant also allows the local family to earn income. Students tend to arrange a homestay with their school or educational institution, but they can also informally arrange to stay with a family through social connections as well as through a variety of private agencies. There are a number of online homestay agencies that connect students with hosts families all over the world, usually for a nominal fee.[3]
Types of homestays[edit]
Homestay opportunities range from a complete family experience to basic room rental.
The goal of a homestay is for the student to be immersed in their hosts culture. In addition to typical daily activities, family events can involve activities such as dining out, going to amusement parks, camping, traveling and so on. The host student may be expected to pay a portion of the activity-related costs, e.g., tickets, parking, gas and travel expenses.
The student may also be invited to participate in holiday festivities, or family events like weddings and birthdays. Host families can play a pseudo-parental role, giving advice and sometimes supervising students' activities. In many homestays, families also act as cross-cultural advisers, helping the students understand and adjust to their new culture.[4] In other homestays, students may simply be renting a room within a private home with minimal supervision from the host. There are also working homestay agreements where a student is expected to perform duties such as yard work, farm work, babysitting, or maid services. These vary on a case-by-case basis.
Typical contracts and agreements[edit]
To minimize difficulties, most homestay arrangements involve a contract or written agreement between the host and the student. Verbal agreements may change contractual clauses depending upon developments after a stay has begun. A contract typically outlines what is expected of the host student and may include items such as:
- Chores to perform (e.g., cleaning, laundering)
- Curfews
- Use of the Internet, television, and/or telephone
- Smoking/drinking/drugs rules
Agreements may also give the details of what is being provided by the host:
- Accommodations
- Furniture/facilities
- Meal provisions
- Transportation (car,bike)
- Communications (Internet, telephone)
- Entertainment (television, computer)
Generally, a host must provide a private room (with a lock) for sleep and study and a washroom which is available for the student to use. Most other items are negotiable in terms of availability and price.
Risks for the host[edit]
Typically, hosting a student is an interesting experience that facilitates the exchange of cultures, information, and experience. However, studying abroad is often the first time a host student is away from his or her parents and home country. As a result, students may have difficulty adjusting. The host must be able to deal with separation issues, anxiety, and other various difficulties. In fact, research has shown that both hosts and homestay students may exhibit symptoms of mild culture shock and must adjust accordingly.[4] Despite the potential difficulties, host families, including host children, are able to learn about other cultures in a unique way. Many host families stay in touch with their students long after they return to their home countries.
Scams on the internet are becoming fairly common. When engaging in financial transactions that may require international payments, checks, or money orders, there is always the possibility of scams and fraud. Host family members should educate themselves on the issues and protect themselves adequately through good contracts. A common example of a scam is the "Advance Fee" fraud, where the fraudulent party overpays with a fraudulent or stolen check, and asks for a refund before the fraud is noticed.
Risks for the student/guest[edit]
There are two basic motivations for a family to engage in the operation of a homestay:
- The family is looking to assist students, incorporate culture, and better understand the world and its people through a mutual exchange of traditions, knowledge and culture.
- The family is looking to augment their income.
Usually, a family bears a healthy mix of these two reasons in opening their home to students and international visitors.
Occasionally, however, there are instances where a family, or individual, is looking only to capitalize on the financial opportunity and has little or no concern for the interests of the student.
A student is encouraged to look at the history of students and guests that the family has hosted and to ask for a reference from a student who has recently stayed with that family. If a family refuses to give a reference, a student is advised to consider other hosts. Also, a student should look for a contract that not only protects the interests of the host, but also the interests of the student. There should be a clear listing of both the student and the host family expectations and obligations. Organizations should have records of testimonials, reviews, and other information regarding all parties involved.

Classes meet at 10:05am on Sunday mornings. We have two classes this summer:
Your Life in Christ - a 4 week Bible study led by Mark Rao and Quinn and Katya Martin meets in Room 250 (across the balcony). If you have decided to follow Jesus and you want to know what this should look like, then this is the class for you! The topics of this study, which involves looking up Scripture and writing what you find, include (1) God Cares for You (2) The Person of Jesus Christ, (3) The Work of Christ and (4) The Spirit Within You.
A Survey of Church History, Part 3 (A.D. 1500-1620) - a 12-week DVD series led by Ron Cote which will meet in Room 251. This DVD series is on the Reformation and is taught by W. Robert Godfrey, president of Westminster Seminary and professor of Church History. The 16th century brought huge changes in economics, government and culture in Europe. This crucial century witnessed a powerful renewal of biblical Christianity. Amid opposition and uncertainty, faithful Christian leaders expressed a passion for the gospel and a commitment to the authority of Scripture that have influenced generations of believers. Dr. Godfrey brings to life the stories of those who dedicated their lives to proclaiming the truth of God's Word in the Protestant Reformation.
FMI about either of these classes, please call the church office at 773-3123.

After the loading phase and two weeks on this product I haven't' noticed any difference yet. It seems like an excellent product and I plan on staying on it for 3 or 4 boxes to give it a fair shake.

I decided to try this for irritable bowel. I took the loading dose for 5 days as suggested. After day 2, I had some stomach cramps and I was gassy but I continued using the product. After day 4, the cramps and gassiness subsided. I am now 3 days into the regular dosing (1 in the AM, 1 in the PM). So far so good but it is too early to tell if it is doing anything. I wrote the review now in case anyone tries this and has gas or cramps. It seems to subside after several days usage.

Imbolc is Coming!
January 21, 2014 in From the Hearth, Guests, Hearth and Home, Pagan Spirituality, Uncategorized by Dawne Skeye
The wheel is turning and Imbolc will be here before my next article is due so I thought I'd make an early start, first on how it's pronounced basically "Ehm-bowlk" or "Im-bulk" and in Druid tongue "Im mol'-gh" which is usually spelled Oimealc. This greater sabbat has a number of names including The Snowdrop Festival, The Festival of Lights, The Feast of the Virgin, Candlemas, St Briget's Day, Brigid's Feast, and Brigantia. I'm sure there are other names and festivals that have links to the day as well, feel free to add them in comments on the article. There's a bit of controversy about Imbolc, some say it's from the Gaelic oimlec that means ewes milk, other sources say it means in the belly, as in the womb of animals and soil. Either way it's time when new lambs are born, dairy animals generally start producing milk for their new born or soon to be born offspring.
This is the festival of the Maiden, and straw or wheat sheaves gathered before last Samhain are made into bundles, or dolls and placed in baskets with white flowers. Depending on the area and tradition sheaves were left outside to receive blessings from Brigid as she passed by, in some areas of Ireland cloth strips or mantles were left outside to be touched by the Goddess and/or Saint. These cloths became sacred and had the power to heal sickness or injury during the year, sun wheels or Brigid's crosses were made to bring protection and blessing to the house, the previous year's rush cross was often tucked into the rafters of a house or barn, if the luck had left the cross it needed to be buried or burned to return to the goddess and earth.
In Celtic lands this marked the beginning of Spring; seeds that had rested in the soil over winter began to swell and crack and send roots into the ground. It was time to begin preparing the fields for the upcoming planting, stones were removed, any remaining stubble from the previous year's harvest was turned under, drainage ditches were repaired or new ones created, furrows would be ploughed, the plans for what one wanted to grow had to be made, and seeds carefully chosen all before the planting could begin. It was a time for assessment, what grew well the previous year, what didn't survive the growing season and why? Did you want to try growing a kind of food for harvest that you had never planted before? What did you want to cultivate, change or keep from the previous year?
The time between Yule and Imbolc is called The Cleansing Tide, because it was literally time for cleaning the house, stables, yard as well as the fields. If there was unfinished work from winter's projects it could be put aside or laid to rest, the focus was changing to outdoor labour once more. The home was swept clean and everything was washed and tidied to get rid of winter's hold and to welcome the spring, farm animals that were kept in shelter during the cold could now return to the pastures, all stables, stalls, coops, and belongings were cleaned, acts of sympathetic magic to let winter pass.
Farmers looked to the animals for omens of the growing season to come, if a hedgehog or badger appeared from a burrow on Imbolc it meant the planting weather around Ostara would be fair, if the animals weren't seen, the coldness would stay and planting would be hard with cold soil and rain, yet the seeds had to be planted at the right time if there was any hope of harvest. In North America we have Groundhog day, which fulfills the same purpose, though most folks have forgotten the origins of the tradition.
Imbolg is Brigid's day, she is the Goddess of poetry, inspiration, divination, and healing, the Lady of cattle, dairy work and food production as well as the forge, the Goddess made into a saint that is. Traditionally a young girl dressed in white would travel from home to home giving Brigid's blessing in exchange for an egg, sugar, cakes, a penny or bread. The maiden or youngest girl of the home would go to a well dedicated to Brigit and first bless herself with the water, then carry some home to be sprinkled inside and outside the home, on all the animals , over the fields and on every household member. I'm sure many water fights have been invoked in Brigid's name! Rush crosses were made and carried through the home, then hung by the hearth to bring the Lady's blessing throughout the year. In some places they made a Brideog, a corn dolly that was dressed in white representing Brigid, it was taken house to house to bless the community, these dolls were patted to release their seeds and the kernels would be mixed with new seed and planted to bless the crops.
It was a day for extinguishing the hearth fire, sweeping the ashes out and rekindling the new fire, fresh candles and lamps were placed in rooms and lit to welcome and celebrate the sun's return. The day also marked a time of renewing vows to the gods one served and for blessing candles to be used in the year's rituals, magical tools were consecrated or rededicated and pledges to work with and learn about specific deities were made. In some areas the ploughs were blessed with milk or alcohol and offerings of cheese, bread, milk and honey were left in the fields for the nature spirits, they hadn't had a gift since Samhain night. Some people think it's taboo to cut white flowers on Imbloc because they are symbols of the Goddess, while some say cut fresh ones early morning for the altar, as always do what feels right to you.
Whether you go for a walk, make a spirit lamp or Brigid's cross, enjoy your day!
Abundant Blessings

A review of the new Criterion release of Monte Hellman's "The Shooting" and "Ride in the Whirlwind."
Here are three characters in the multi-ethnic Stockholm underworld, each with his own murky idea of ethical behavior, each with his own personal reason for trying to do the right thing, even if that thing might seem immoral to others — and even, of course, if it is illegal.
This tangle of motivations makes "Easy Money" one of the most involving of the many first-rate thrillers that have come recently from Scandinavia. It has additional interest because it stars Joel Kinnaman, known to American TV audiences as the star of AMC's "The Killing." Kinnaman, who is seamlessly multilingual, has been signed to star in a forthcoming remake of "Robocop," and seems on the brink of stardom.
In the movie, he plays Johan Westlund, known as J.W., an impoverished student from a town in the north of Sweden, who feels out of his depth in the snobbish culture of Stockholm's financial wheeler-dealers. But he wants to be accepted by them. He is a gifted student, understands numbers and to impress the upper crust, lies about his family and conceals his poverty. They would be surprised to learn he drives a cab.
The second principal figure is Jorge (Matias Varela), who pulls off a daring prison break and arrives desperate at the home of his pregnant sister. Her husband knows all about Jorge's association with the cocaine business and has banned him from their home, but the sister lets him stay a few days. His enemies find him, and he is beaten by men working for the Serbian crime lord Radovan (Dejan Cukic).
The third protagonist is Mrado (Dragomir Mrsic), who becomes more sympathetic as we learn he was beaten as a child and is determined at all costs to shelter his little daughter, Lovisa, from the brutality he still experiences in his own life.
These three become involved in a labyrinth of dealings with the underworld. After Jorge is beaten, J.W. picks him up in his cab, has sympathy and takes him back to his tiny students' dorm room. It is from here that J.W., always particular about his appearance, always well-dressed, stages his forays into the world of the wealthy. As a cab driver, he often works for two Arab criminals, Abdulkarim and Mahmoud. Now he and Jorge become involved in their scheme to steal a shipment of cocaine the Serbs are bringing in from Germany.
Oh, it grows deeper. At the same time, the financial whiz J.W. is recruited by the Serbs for his money-laundering skills and intrigues them with the idea of purchasing a nearly bankrupt bank and using it as a front. So now he's working both for and against the Serbs.
If this sounds complex, it is. One of the strengths of Daniel Espinosa's film is how much clarity he brings to his story. His underlying interest is always in the motivations of his leading characters. In many crime movies, the characters are inspired by simple greed. Here we have J.W. trying to climb out of poverty and provincial obscurity; Jorge hoping to redeem himself in the eyes of his sister, and Mrado trying to construct a secure future for his daughter.
Always present, if not precisely stated, is that for all three of these outsiders, crime is the only avenue they can imagine to escape from their situation and become independent. The film makes it clear that Sweden is not quite the egalitarian state we imagine, but a nation where money, family and class still function as they do anywhere else. J.W. becomes keenly aware of this after falling in love with Sophie (Lisa Henni), a rich, young socialite. She loves him, too — but thinks he is the son of a diplomat. He knows clearly that if she saw him driving cab, sheltering an escaped prisoner in his dorm room and plotting to intercept a shipment of cocaine, her love would evaporate.
What is it about Scandinavia that has inspired such a stream of top-rate thrillers? Its novelists have been fascinated by the crime genre (this film is based on a novel by Jens Lapidus, soon to be published here). What remains consistent in the thrillers from this part of the world is they remain devoted to characters and their inner motivations. The people in these movies are not simply avatars moving through chases and shootouts. How novel.

A committee studying uranium mining in Virginia will hold its first three meetings in Washington, D.C. and the Danville area.
"The Danville Register & Bee" reports that the Danville area meeting is scheduled for December 13 through 15.
The Washington meetings are set for October 26 and 27 and November 15 and 16 at the Keck Center.
The study will examine the scientific, technical, environmental and human health risks of uranium mining, milling and processing in Virginia. Its findings are due in 2011.
Virginia has had a moratorium on uranium mining since 1982. Before uranium can be mined in Virginia, the General Assembly would have to lift the ban.

Welcome to Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review, a new ratings service that allows
you to view and provide feedback on a lawyer or law firm on service and relationship
qualities such as Communication Ability, Responsiveness, Quality of Service, and
Value for Money.
Determining a Rating
The Client Review Rating is determined through aggregation of validated responses.
This compilation of Client Reviews translates to a numerical rating and associate
descriptive term on a scale of 1 -5. 1 being lowest as "Rated" and 5 being highest
as "Preeminent".
Martindale-Hubbell uses a third-party resource to validate that the respondent is
a living person, but cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship, which in many
cases is confidential. Clients must affirm that they are a client of the lawyer
or firm identified for review at the time of the completed Client Review.
The Reviewers
Those who complete Client Reviews are clients of law firms who hired a lawyer within
the last year, whose matter is not pending, and want to share their experience of
that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be of any type
from in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners to private individuals,
and even sometimes another lawyer in a different jurisdiction.
Client Reviews are anonymous and reviewers' identities are not published;
however a summary of basic demographics will be part of the display of responses.
Why do we collect demographics as part of the review?
Those who are researching a lawyer or law firm like to see that there are other clients who might be "like them". This
is valuable information contributing to the decision-making process of hiring a
Martindale-Hubbell's role
Martindale-Hubbell facilitates the process of Client Review by gathering responses,
validating them and aggregating results for display online. The content of the responses
are entirely from reviewers, the clients of the firm or lawyer.
It is important to note that Martindale-Hubbell does not undertake to develop Client Reviews for all
firms and lawyers. Therefore, the fact that a firm or lawyer has not been reviewed
should not be construed unfavorably. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome
and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of
any review over which Martindale-Hubbell exercises no editorial review or control.
An explanation of the Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings
A Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating reflects a combination of achieving a Very High General Ethical Standards rating and a Legal Ability numerical rating.
General Ethical Standards Rating
The General Ethical Standards rating denotes adherence to professional standards of conduct and ethics, reliability, diligence and other criteria relevant to the discharge of professional responsibilities.
Those lawyers who meet the "Very High" criteria of General Ethical Standards can proceed to the next step in the ratings process.
Legal Ability Ratings
For lawyers rated with the changed methodology, Legal Ability ratings will now indicate professional ability within a specific area of practice. Legal Ability ratings are based on performance in five key areas, rated on a scale of 1 to 5 (with 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest). These areas are:
Legal Knowledge - Lawyer's familiarity with the laws governing his/her specific area of practice(s)
Analytical Capabilities - Lawyer's creativity in analyzing legal issues and applying technical knowledge
Judgment - Lawyer's demonstration of the salient factors that drive the outcome of a given case or issue.
Communication Ability - Lawyer's capability to communicate persuasively and credibly
Legal Experience - Lawyer's degree of experience in his/her specific area of practice(s)
Additional Feedback
The changed Peer Review Ratings allow reviewers to provide optional Additional Feedback on the lawyer under review. Additional Feedback is displayed anonymously in conjunction with the review results to the lawyer under review. LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell reserves the right not to display any feedback.
Reviewer Demographics
Peer Review Ratings are anonymous and reviewers' identities are not published, but in an effort to provide more details to the users of Peer Review Ratings, LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell will aggregate reviewers' basic demographics, including general position and general geographic location, which may be published with the ratings display on martindale.com® and Lawyers.comsm. Examples of basic demographics are "private practice lawyer, senior partner, New York, USA."
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating
After a lawyer's General Ethical Standards and Legal Ability Ratings are confirmed, his/her ratings are aggregated to create an overall numeric rating for each rated Area of Practice. The numeric rating determines the Peer Review Rating, which includes a rating term and may include a Certification Mark:
AV® Preeminent™ (4.5 - 5.0) - An AV® certification mark is a significant rating accomplishment - a testament to the fact that a lawyer's peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence.
BV® Distinguished™ (3.0 - 4.4) - The BV® certification mark is an excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. A widely respected mark of achievement, it differentiates a lawyer from his or her competition.
Rated (1.0 - 2.9) - The Peer Review Rated designation demonstrates that the lawyer has met the very high criteria of General Ethical Standing.
For lawyers rated in the existing program, the display will appear differently than those reviewed in the changed methodology. Because the lawyers converted to the new display have yet to be re-reviewed in the changed system, there will not be the depth of detail available on their Legal Ability Rating, Area of Practice specificity, Additional Feedback or Reviewer's Demographic data.
The Reviewers and Anonymity
The reviewers are members of the Bar and Judiciary (lawyers and judges) across multiple jurisdictions and geographic locations and are listed on martindale.com. They are from similar areas of practice and/or industry as the lawyer being rated, who know or have worked with the lawyer under review and are able to rate them on their professional ethical standards and legal ability. All Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings review materials are treated as anonymous. LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell takes steps to protect your anonymity (e.g., not associating reviewer names with their responses and aggregating their responses with responses from other reviewers before sharing or publishing them). But it is possible that their responses may contain sufficient information to allow the rated lawyer to ascertain their identity.
Facilitating the Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings Process
LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell facilitates the peer review process by gathering responses, validating them and aggregating results for display online. The content of the responses are entirely from reviewers, the peers of the lawyer. Peer reviewers must affirm that they are a peer of the lawyer identified for review. A peer can submit only one review for a specific lawyer within a 12-month period.
A lawyer's rating will generally improve over time. But LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review ratings can be revised downward, or even removed if a decline is noted in ability or ethical standards. While LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell makes available the option of regular rating reviews for the lawyers, the most recent results are relied upon when determining the final rating.
It is important to note that because LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell does not undertake to develop Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings for all lawyers, the fact that a lawyer is not rated should not be construed unfavorably.

Essay Lyrics - King Konga
and there he stands -a little boy,
no shoes on his feet and dirt in his hands.
molding dreams from the clay of his fathers,
and fathers before him.
and there he walks -a little boy,
in a path already chosen.
and in his mind the strides will all match,
but his steps remain smaller.
(only love will lead to love)
behind all his notions of doubtful chagrin,
are old pickett fences thatÍll be white once again,
and there he waits ready for a life to begin.
and there he sits -a little boy,
gazing through windows.
and all he sees in the abscence of peace,
is a world out of reach.
tell me whatÍs ahead where the light doesnÍt shine.
a little boy whose lost and a life heÍs yet to find.
what will become of his helpless cry
as the youth of a little boy passes by?
only love will lead to love.

Alexei Ramirez deserves All-Star start at shortstop
BY JOHN GROCHOWSKI For Sun-Times Media June 9, 2014 10:37PM
Updated: June 9, 2014 10:46PM
That fans have made the Yankees' Derek Jeter the leader at shortstop in American League All-Star voting is no great shock. It's the voters' prerogative to opt to see a sure-fire Hall of Famer in one last All-Star Game.
But if you want to vote for the shortstop who has had the best start to 2014, that's not Jeter. Not even close.
By rWAR — Baseball-Reference.com's version of wins above replacement — the AL leader is the White Sox' Alexei Ramirez. His 2.6 WAR through Sunday tops the Angels' Erick Aybar (2.0). Jeter lags far behind, 15th in the AL at 0.0 — right at replacement level.
Ramirez is having the best offensive season of his career, with a .316 batting average, .352 on-base percentage and .451 slugging percentage for an .803 OPS. He also has posted five defensive runs saved, leading to a 1.0 defensive WAR.
Jeter's offense has collapsed, with a .612 OPS that's 211 points below his career average. And his offensive game always has been better than his defense. With a minus-9.2 career dWAR, he has been on the positive side only three times in his 20-year career. This season, Jeter's dWAR is minus-0.1.
A selection of Jeter this season is a career award. Right now, Ramirez is a better player, as are many other AL shortstops.
Other AL All-Star contenders, by the numbers:
First base: The Tigers' Miguel Cabrera, the two-time defending AL most valuable player, has been the leader, and he's having another strong season with a .941 OPS and 2.4 WAR. That puts him in a virtual dead heat with the Blue Jays' Edwin Encarnacion (.942, 2.5) and the Athletics' Brandon Moss (.953, 2.5).
Second base: Roll the dice and pick a candidate among the Twins' Brian Dozier (.796 OPS, 2.3 WAR), the Red Sox' Dustin Pedroia (.739, 2.2), the Tigers' Ian Kinsler (.780, 2.2) and the Angels' Howie Kendrick (.743, 2.0).
Third base: No contest. The A's Josh Donaldson (.894 OPS, league-leading 15 runs saved) has been the AL's best player at any position with a 4.7 WAR.
Outfield: The fans so far have liked the Angels' Mike Trout (.930 OPS, 3.3 WAR), the Blue Jays' Jose Bautista (.983, 3.5) and the Blue Jays' Melky Cabrera (.835, 1.4). The numbers like Trout and Bautista but much prefer Royals defensive whiz Alex Gordon (.822, 3.4, 15 runs saved) to Cabrera, whose WAR ranks 12th among AL outfielders.
Catcher: The A's Derek Norris and the Royals' Salvador Perez are tied at 1.8 WAR, with the Indians' Yan Gomes right behind at 1.6. Norris has been the best hitter with an .882 OPS to .758 for Gomes and .748 for Perez, but Perez has been the best defender with three runs saved to two for Gomes and minus-1 for Norris.
Designated hitter: The fans' leader, the Orioles' Nelson Cruz, is more than worthy with a 1.021 OPS and 2.5 WAR. He plays about half his time in the outfield. Among those who spend a majority of their time at DH, the best numbers belong to the Tigers' Victor Martinez (.967 OPS, 1.7 WAR).

John P. Walters, former director of drug control policy for President George W. Bush, is being disingenuous in this article, Why Libertarians Are Wrong About Drugs, by deliberately ignoring the central reality concerning drug prohibition in America.
I describe this nexus as "the Narcosaurus."
Peter Dale Scott, Ph.D. (American War Machine: Deep Politics, the CIA Global Drug Connection, and the Road to Afghanistan) and Alfred W. McCoy, Ph.D. (The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade) have detailed the "deep politics" reality of our foreign policy with the Third World since the end of World War II as narco-centric, behind the Cold War/War on Terror public facade or rationale.
The global narcotics trade is the biggest business in the world. It is fueled and enabled by money laundering on a vast scale by banks and financial institutions across the planet. Dedicated researchers have connected the dots linking the "underworld" of organized crime (narcotics) to the "upperworld" of the establishment (Wall Street banks and CFR-connected corporations/foundations/media). Interwoven in the nexus are our intelligence services, from the OSS to the CIA, with ties to both "worlds."
How much of those trillions of "toxic assets" in the 2008 monetary meltdown were noxious narcodollars? I suspect that a significant part of the problem behind AIG (the world's largest insurance entity) lay with this clandestine intersection of drug money, intelligence and money laundering, hence the beginning of the bailouts. We clearly see this in revelations of AIG, Goldman Sachs, and the bailouts, which have begun to expose the Narcosaurus as never before.
As author Larry Chin observed:
"AIG's involvement to US covert operations stretches back to World War II, in its roots as C.V. Starr, the intelligence-related proprietary founded by OSS agent Cornelius Vander Starr. The Starr proprietary was connected to CIA/OSS figures Paul Helliwell and Tommy Corcoran. The notorious CIA fronts connected to C.V. Starr, including Civil Air Transport, Sea Supply, and Air America/Pacific Corp were exposed by Peter Dale Scott in his book Drugs, Oil, and War: The United States in Afghanistan, Colombia, and Indochina. It is also a huge financial 'pass-through', whose counter-parties include Goldman Sachs and (not surprisingly) the same major financial institutions that are the top recipients of the US government's TARP bailout."
"It is no surprise that Barack Obama is the top recipient of AIG funds. AIG's money also lines the pockets of other members of the Obama administration, and prominent members of Congress, including Senator Christopher Dodd, who has been accused of a sweetheart deal aiding AIG."
Afghanistan, since the US intervention there, has become the world's leading producer of opium. Perhaps LRC readers should examine why President Obama appointed as his Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, the late Richard Holbrooke (Bilderberg group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, former managing director of Lehman Brothers, and board director of AIG to July 2008 just before the bailouts)?
Can you visualize Goldman Sachs as the world's largest pusher? And what would that make their principal pimp, one Barack H. Obama?
For more on Barack Obama's Wall Street connection, see Charles Gasparino's book, Bought and Paid For: The Unholy Alliance Between Barack Obama and Wall Street.
It's time to quit ignoring the Narcosaurus in the bankster boardroom (and in the network newsroom).
Let the truth finally come out!2:57 pm on June 17, 2014 Email Charles Burris

Find a Conversation
|Fri, 12-07-2007 - 11:31am
Marie-P directed me to the "Should fathers be allowed to 'abort'?" debate from the "Pregnant Perscpective" thread. In it, I noticed that most people's objection to fathers relinquishing their rights and responsibilities towards babies was that the baby had a right to CS and fathers ought not to be allowed to walk away from this obligation.
However, mothers are allowed to walk away from this obligation by giving up their babies for adoption / dropping babies off at safe haven WITHOUT consulting the father. Why shouldn't fathers be allowed the same right, if indeed their responsibilities towards a baby are equal to a mother's?
So I wanted to start this poll -
Would you allow fathers to drop off babies at Safe Haven?
I'm against abortion AND fathers terminating rights
I'm against abortion BUT support fathers terminating rights
I support abortion rights AND fathers terminating rights
I support abortion rights BUT not fathers terminating rights
You will be able to change your vote.

Thank you in advance for responding. It would be great if you could explain your vote. Why you are PL or PC doesn't need to be explained unless it directly ties in with the reason why you support fathers' rights to terminate parental responsibilities.
EDIT: As you can tell, my personal view is that fathers should be allowed to drop off babies at safe haven. I'm also PC. So when it comes down to it, this means a father-to-be should be able to tell the mother-to-be (by signing appropriate statements, whatever) that he is choosing to terminate all this rights to the baby, if she has it. I would of course support implementing checks and balances - if the father changes his mind and comes back, he would owe penalties plus retroactive child support, etc.. Also, I think it might become the norm to have "precoital" agreements similar to prenuptual agreements, in which the intents and mutually agreed-upon responsibilities of both parties wrt possible children are made clear. Well, it would put somewhat of a damper on the heady pleasures of one-night-stands, but I think we can all agree that reponsible sex is only a good thing. :D

I wasn't sure how to respond, since I don't know the context. Presuming that the father has not kidnapped the child from the mother and is not turning the child over to the state without the mother's knowledge or consent, I don't see a big deal with it. If neither parent wants to or can reasonably care for the child, better that it ends up in a safe place.
I would not support the father doing this on the sly, without the mother's knowledge or consent, obviously.
|Fri, 12-07-2007 - 2:05pm
But... mothers do it all the time without the father's knowledge or consent...
I'm not saying it's right, either, but if it isn't illegal for one party, why should it be illegal for the other? I heard it argued on the "Should dads be allowed to 'abort'" thread that if a mother dropped a baby off without telling the father, the father "can always go to the authorities and try to have the baby found".
|Fri, 12-07-2007 - 2:22pm
"But... mothers do it all the time without the father's knowledge or consent..."
Is it really that common, where the father has expressed a clear interest in taking exclusive custody, and the mother decides that neither can have the baby and instead takes it to a safe haven on the sly? Can you quantify how often this happens?
I mean, I'm trying to see a scenario here where this could possibly happen to an involved father. I doubt my husband will leave my side for weeks after our child is born, which would make it very hard for me even to go to the bathroom without him knowing. Let's see if I can come up with one:
Mother: Honey, I'm going grocery shopping and I'm taking the baby with me.
Father: But Dear, the baby is only two days old! Should I just care for the baby at home?
Mother: No, Honey. I'm better at caring for the baby.
Father: But Dear, you're not taking a stroller or diaper bag.
Mother: That's okay, Honey; I won't be needing them for such a short trip.
Does that sound as ridiculous to you as it does to me?
For the other threads, I believe the compared issue was a woman having an abortion without the father's knowledge or consent. That, I believe, is quite different, considering the zygote or fetus is irreparably part of the woman's body, and not its own entity.
|Fri, 12-07-2007 - 2:35pm
I was actually referring to the rather large number of women who give up their children for adoption / give them away at safe haven who just never told the father of the baby that they were pregnant at all. The father isn't given a chance to claim his parental rights, and this is fully legal. And we know that it is also fully legal when the father HAS told the mother he wants to claim parental rights - these cases are fewer in number, but it happens, especially in cases where the mother judges the father as being unworthy/incapable of taking care of the child. Should it BE her judgement and decision that reigns supreme? More importantly, that behaviour is legal and it was defended on the other thread I was talking about.
I don't see any moral difference between a father who "kidnaps" a newborn from the mother's side to drop him/her off at safe haven (who knows? he may have a "good reason", like thinking she will be a very bad mother), and a mother who gives her baby away without ever letting the father know that he has a child because SHE thinks he will be a "bad father".

"I was actually referring to the rather large number of women who give up their children for adoption / give them away at safe haven who just never told the father of the baby that they were pregnant at all."
If he never knew she was pregnant, how would he know she'd given the child up? I'm sorry, but the gaps in logic here are too large to ignore.
In this particular scenario, it doesn't sound like someone who was very involved in the life of their sexual partner, which may perhaps lead to the woman, as you said, feeling that "the father as being unworthy/incapable of taking care of the child." And you're still not quantifying it for me. "A rather large number" is not considered evidence in my book.
Since this is apparently legal, what do you propose be the law instead? Let's go with your cited scenario, where the woman has had a child and has not told the father that she was ever pregnant. How would you write the law in that case?
|Fri, 12-07-2007 - 3:03pm
Holly, you're right, I just realised my arguments were rather empty when you posed the question of how I would change the law. I might want to make it illegal for a woman to refuse to inform the father of her child about the child's birth (allowing exceptions in cases where she feels threatened physically of course), but I know there are just too many ways around THAT requirement and it could not possibly be enforced. But I still think it's a law that should be on the books, because both parents ought to have equal parental rights.
I would never make it illegal for women to give up babies if they so wish, but again, I'd put in at least a paper requirement that the father be informed and allowed to adopt the baby if he so wishes... even if this could not be enforced.
I would also never make it legal for a man to "kidnap" a child without a woman's knowledge and give it away. However, I would allow him to do something that would have the same NET effect in his life: which is, to sign away his parental rights to the baby, just as the mother is able to sign hers away by dropping the baby off in safe haven.
I think that's only fair.
EDIT: You asked how a father would know when a baby he wasn't even aware of was given away. He wouldn't. And my point is that it isn't fair to keep this knowledge from it, that it ought to be required for him to be notified that he has a child.

"I'd put in at least a paper requirement that the father be informed"
There are rules in some states that require that you notify your sexual partners if you have been infected with a serious STI like HIV. I guess you could have something similar, but I don't know how they would enforce it. If the woman wouldn't list the father on the birth certificate or provide any information for him, the hospital would have no way of knowing who he is. Then there's the less-likely scenario of the one-night stand, where the woman herself may not even know who the father is.
I would definitely say that the father should be notified, but I wouldn't deny any rights to the mother if she couldn't or didn't wish to notify him, either. That's partially because I don't really believe that a million women out there do this all the time, and that the women who do usually have a pretty good reason for it. You've been on our EC long enough to know there are some real "winners" out there in the male population. Remember the woman whose husband quit speaking to her because she didn't wait for permission to go to the hospital for her miscarriage? It's a tough nut to crack, certainly.

>>You've been on our EC long enough to know there are some real "winners" out there in the male population.
What's EC? And yeah, I can easily agree that most women who choose not to inform their partners about a pregnancy probably have very good reasons.
I think the basic unfairness I was trying to address here is how fathers are not allowed at any point to sign away their parental rights, like mothers are. I'm a feminist, proudly so, but the essence of feminism is equality, not special rights...

November 23, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) - Michaele Salahi is going to auction off the red sari she wore when she and her husband allegedly crashed a White House state dinner last November.
In an interview with the Associated Press, Salahi said she plans to put the dress up for bid around the time the scandal is addressed in "The Real Housewives of D.C."
There's no airdate yet for the episode. Salahi said the auction proceeds will go to victims of the Haitian earthquake and people with multiple sclerosis.
Salahi is one of five women starring in the series that premieres Thursday night on Bravo.
Much of the first episode features the other four housewives criticizing Salahi behind her back for being too skinny and allegedly not paying her bills.
Salahi said watching the episode hurt for "a minute," but she got over it.

Women, do you ever intentionally put men in Lose Lose situations?
Hey girls, do you actually get a thrill out of putting a man in a lose lose situation?For example, a girl asked me the other day if she could model...of course I said "yes, she could" since she's hot and then she asked me "face model or body model". So I didn't answer her. Why?Well because if I said face, she would get insecure about her body and get really mad at me for it. If I said body, she would get really insecure about her face and get mad at me about it.So do you actually get a thrill out of doing these things?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
You can say both, you have a beautiful face that would be unfair for the world not to see and you have a sexy body that you can tell you have worked hard to get and therefore should also be ashamed to go unnoticed. I don't think she gets a thrill out of asking, sounds like she us just fishing for a compliment to make herself feel go.
What Girls Said 1
What Guys Said 1
I don't think they get a thrill out of it, unless they have a sick sense of humor. They are looking for a compliment or confidence boost, without really considering the ugly position in which it puts you.
SO you think women make decisions without thinking of their S.O.'s as well (first)
Sometimes, but so do men. This particular scenario just happens to be more a female thing, but men can be equally thoughtless, perhaps more so.
