Perfect natural, rosy-peach color! This is my HG lipstick. I imagine it would look great on all skintones. I would recommend this to MUAs for their wedding kits or any events that call for a natural, fresh "pretty" look. Also, I've found that Tiramisu is extremely forgiving, which is unusual for a product labelled "shimmer." It actually perfects lips when they're not in perfect condition. Tiramisu even works on lips that are chapped, mature, etc.
Gorgeous lipstick! Highly Recommend!

Tiramisu works on my pigmented lips and NC30/C4 light tan Asian complexion for every look. Its weird. Brown blushes, pink blushes, smoky eyes, natural, bronzed, whatever. Tiramisu always compliments. It is a sheer, lightly frosted (in a glossy way, not an 80s way) light peachy pink that leaves my lips smooth, and healthy and a touch pink. I reapply every 2 hours since its a sheer formula, but I dont mind since this lippie is the best. I love love love.

Estée Lauder - Pure Color Crystal Lipstick - 341 Tiramisu
This is my favourite sheer lipstick that looks great anytime - at work, on dates, evenings, etc. "Tiramisu" is a peach nude with golden shimmer. The lipstick has a fig scent. Unfortunately, "Tiramisu" is a discontinued shade in Malaysia.
As an alternative, I'm using: Estée Lauder - Pure Color Crystal Lipstick - 10 Cafe Olé. (On the box: PCCL 10 Cafe Olé SHIMMER.) On my lips, "Cafe Olé" is not distinguishable from "Tiramisu". If "Tiramisu" has been discontinued in your country, get "Cafe Olé" or "Crystal Blush" - they're both close matches.

New favorite...and I really don't wear lipstick at all. I was in Macy's and came across this at a EL makeover event. The artist had used Tiramasu l/s and topped it with EL Pure color gloss in Electric Ginger on a darker toned lady. GORGEOUS!! I tried it and ended up buying both. This is also a nice neutral/pinkish color that can be done for an everyday look or for night with a smoky eye. And the packaging is pretty as well. Will repurchase.

I have totally fallen head over heels for this stuff. It's an amazing MLBB shade for me. Beautiful nude/pink with a tinge of coppery/red. It's also a very sheer lipstick but can be buildable for more color. smells nice, has a wonderfully smooth texture and doesn't dry out my lips.
My new ULTIMATE HG. Will repurchase forever.

This is my HG lipstick, I hope they don't discontinue it anytime soon. It's great for daytime wear but can be jazzed up with different lipliners for an evening look. My lips are highly pigmented so it makes me have that my lips but better look. I'm a huge fan of Estee Lauder products in general, but this lipstick shade really is fabulous !

Would I buy this product again? The answer would be "A Hundred Times Yes!" Let me start off by saying I have uber pigmented lips (NC42/43) and this lipstick makes me look like I"m just not trying too hard. It's like my lips but polished (notice I didn't say better, but polished). It does last somewhat more than expected on me (about a good 3 hours which is surprising). The smell is amazing and the packaging...I think it's gorgeous even though for some weird reason a lot of women associate EL with older women (I'm thirty, I don't think of myself as older...at least not yet) but I agree with Sam Chapman's view of EL as a brand that is based more one quality than trend, and this lipstick is top notch quality.

My first lipstick that I got from those gift deals. It looks lovely on my lips and enhances the rosy color. It has a nice shimmer to it and is really moisturizing. Looks great with lip gloss on top! The downside is that it doesn't last very long and is expensive, which is why I won't be repurchasing.

Very lovely shade of pink w/ a bit of gold in it. Slightly sheer, but not too. The smell is admittedly a little unusual, but nothing you can't work with. Got mine off ebay, so not in the fancy gold case but who cares, the price was right. Definitely quickly becoming a favorite of mine.

Mother competent for trial in infant son's death
Updated On: Jul 22 2013 02:49:31 PM EDT
A judge has ruled the mother of a 3-month-old baby who died in December will stand trial for her son's death.
Kelli Worth-McBride was found competent for a trial on Monday.
Watch: Parents charged in death of 3-month-old Westland boy.
Father Josh Wilson and McBride were both charged after 3-month-old Joshua Jr. was found beaten and bruised in the couple's Westland home in December.
Police say the infant was bruised from head to toe with several broken bones. Investigators say Joshua died from blunt force trauma to his chest.
Wilson pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 27-60 years in prison while girlfriend McBride was sent for a competency exam.
Family members have said both parents suffer from mental issues and that Child Protective Services had been involved with the family since Joshua's birth.
McBride's pretrial is scheduled for August 23 at 9 a.m.

Japanese film offers so much more than creepy animated childlike action heroes. Theres also the entire genre of ridiculously gory slasher movies, like those by Takashi Miike. The filmmaker broke out in the U.S. in 2001 with two Asian Extreme sex-and-death fests, Auditionand Ichi the Killer, but this master of bloody violence has made more than 80 films (30 of them in the past decade). Sample some of his work in the series Shinjuku Outlaw: 13 From Takashi Miike, including the new samurai epic, 13 Assassins (playing March 17).

It should come as no surprise that the Taurus and its siblings perform well on crash tests. The platform was developed from the Volvo P2 architecture that provides the basis for the original S80, as well as the S60 and outgoing V70. The Taurus has just earned itself five-star ratings in all of the NHTSA's tests, and the IIHS recommends the Taurus as a Top Pick. Seeking to capitalize on that success, the advertising boffins have whipped up a new tagline: "Rated Safest Car In America." Our spines tingle with delight. Our write-in suggestion of "Saves Your Arse" apparently has gone unheeded.
The Ford Five Hundred was so under-promoted by Ford that we don't recall any tag line. No matter. Seeking a return on its investment, Ford has given the revamped Five Hundred the Taurus moniker and a raft of upgrades. The hope is that the Taurus name isn't totally bankrupt, even though the DN101-based last generation was allowed to die on the vine. The new 3.5 liter V6 helps out by not only bumping power, but the horrid NVH of the 3.0 liter has been replaced by a hearty growl, instantly making the car feel better. It's a roomy, well put together car that drives well, for a reasonable price, so perhaps buyers will find the safety scores a persuasive argument.

Over the past few months, the biting point contributor Thom Andrewes has been working with photographer Dimitri Djuric on the production of a photo-book called We Break Strings: The Alternative Classical Scene in London. The book is an attempt at documenting a particular moment in London's musical life. Alongside some superb photos taken at music events over the last two years, the text draws on interviews with musicians, composers, curators and promoters to discuss the recent trend in performing new/classical music outside of the more established institutional spaces in London.
The book is being self-published, with the help of Gabriel Prokofiev and Nonclassical, and in order to achieve this we're now asking for support through Kickstarter. You can check out the project page HERE. This could just mean pre-ordering the book for £20 (UK shipping included), although there are some other rewards available including prints of the photos and tickets to Nonclassical events.

It might seem obvious, but I just wanted to say thanks to everyone running the site and the forums for letting us all grieve with each other over the last week. A lot of places online would've cracked down on the amount of threads and directed us all into one big thread. I think it's been really helpful just stepping back and letting things happen. As sad as this whole thing is, it's really been great interacting with you all and it has helped me with Ryan's passing. I don't have people in real life to share this with (aside from my non-gaming wife).
Thank you staff. You have been doing a great job.

In 1971, John earned his masters in psychology from Western Illinois University and was elected to the Phi Kappa Phi National Honor Society. In 1999, his alma mater conferred upon John the Distinguished Alumni Award, given only once per year. Upon acceptance, he gave the commencement address.
From 1971-1979, he worked as a psychologist in Illinois and North Carolina and directed several mental-health programs for children.
From 1980-1990. John was in full-time practice as a family psychologist with Piedmont Psychological Associates in Gastonia.
Presently, his time is devoted to speaking and writing. John is syndicated in approximately 225 newspapers nationwide. He has written eleven best-selling parenting books. He is also one of America's busiest and most popular speakers and most certainly the busiest and most popular in his field. He's known for his sound advice, humor and easy, relaxed, engaging style.
In the past few years, John has appeared on numerous national television programs including 20/20, Good Morning America, The View, The Today Show, CNN, and CBS Later Today, as well as numerous print interviews.
All of his professional accomplishments aside, John is quick to remind folks that his real qualifications are that he's been married to the same woman for over forty years, is the father of two successful adults, and the grandfather of seven children…make that seven well-behaved grandchildren.

John's Bio (So Far)
John was born in Asheville, NC, in 1947 to Emily and Jack Rosemond. When "Mr. Bobo" was still in the hospital, awaiting his mother's recuperation, it is recorded in his baby book that he was visited by Lydia and Charlton Heston (who were working at the time in Asheville's community theater and had become close friends of the Rosemonds), who brought him his first toy, a blue rubber elephant. The subtle suggestion obviously "took."
So, the obvious question is "What's with this Mr. Bobo thing?" While he was still in utero John's parents began calling him "The Bobo." When they saw that he was a male, they dubbed him Mr. Bobo. That later diminished to simply Bobo or Bo, as all of John's friends call him today.
Before he was a year old, John's parents moved back to Charleston, SC, where both of them had grown up. When he was three or thereabouts, his parents divorced and Mr. Bobo and his mom remained in Charleston until she remarried when he was seven. Her second husband, a medical school professor, took them to the suburbs of Chicago. John and his stepfather had their share of "issues" over the years, culminating in John going to live with his dad in Valdosta, GA, when he was fifteen. When he was seventeen and about to enter his senior year of high school, John's father announced that he was taking a job in Augusta, GA. Rather than attend a third high school, John opted to return for his senior year to the high school he'd attended as a freshman and sophomore, Proviso West High School in Hillside, IL, where he graduated in 1965.
After a summer spent experimenting with juvenile delinquency, John entered Western Illinois University and promptly joined a rock 'n' roll band as their lead singer. Over the next few years, the band underwent numerous personnel changes, culminating in a band that called itself Haynor Street Mandela. During a performance in September of 1967, John noticed a particularly attractive coed leaning on stage, staring at him, or so he hoped. After the gig, they found one another, confessed their undying rock 'n' roll love for one another, and were married ten months later. John played in rock bands until 1972, during which time one of his bands, Herkemer Bog (remember, this was the 1960s), opened for REO Speedwagon on two occasions. By the time John finished graduate school, he and Willie had one child, Eric. Their second child, Amy, was born shortly thereafter, and shortly thereafter, John, Willie, Eric and Amy moved to Sylva, North Carolina, where John took his first job as a real, honest-to-goodness psychologist, working in a program that served children with behavior and learning problems. Two years later, in 1976, John and Willie moved to Gastonia, NC, where he became director of the local mental health center's early intervention program. Almost immediately, he met the wife of the editor of the local newspaper, who suggested that one way to address the parenting needs of the community was to begin writing a newspaper column. "Um, okay," John said, and that was that. Two years later, The Charlotte Observer persuaded John to begin writing for them and one year after that, the Observer placed the column in syndication.
John went into private practice in 1979. In 1989, his first book for Andrews McMeel, John Rosemond's Six-Point Plan for Raising Happy, Healthy Children was published. Because it was so very different in its approach than the parenting books in the market, it attracted lots of attention and controversy. Suddenly, John was receiving invitations to speak from all over the USA and even Canada and even Europe and Australia, so he left private practice in 1990 and has been full time as a writer and speaker ever since.
After writing ten books for Andrews McMeel, John wrote his first faith-based parenting book, Parenting by The Book, which was published by Howard Books (a subsidiary of Simon and Schuster) in 2007. In less than six months, PbTB sold so well that John was lured, willingly, into a three-book deal with Thomas Nelson, the biggest Christian publisher in the world. His first book for TN, The Diseasing of America's Children: Exposing the ADHD Fiasco and Empowering Parents to Take Back Control, written with pediatrician Dr. Bose Ravenel, was published in 2008. The second book, The Well-Behaved Child: Discipline that Really Works! (Note to other parenting authors: The title is trademarked, so don't even think of appropriating it!!!). John then realized that in the digital age, he could enjoy much greater creative control if he self-published, which is what he's done with his latest, "Toilet Training Without Tantrums," written with Diane Kottakis.
At present, John's nationally-syndicated parenting column appears weekly in more than 200 newspapers nationwide including The Charlotte Observer, Miami Herald, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Hartford Courant, Omaha World-Herald, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Raleigh News and Observer, Durham Herald, and Albuquerque Journal. "All the best papers," John remarks, noting that the way a newspaper earns the status of "best" is to run his column.
John is most definitely one of America's most popular speakers in the parenting field. In a given year, he gives more than 150 talks to parent and professional audiences all over the map. His talks are provocative, informative, and always entertaining. John promises that his audiences will laugh…a lot.
John and Willie still live in Gastonia, in their modest Colonial saltbox. Eric and Amy are both happily married and have blessed John and Willie with seven grandchildren ranging in age from seven months to thirteen years. John and Willie both like to shop for antiques, travel, dote on their grandkids (Especially Willie, who has been named World's Best Grandma, an award given annually by a parenting organization located in Gastonia, North Carolina, for thirteen straight years! Imagine that!), read, play with their Toy Schnauzer, Mazie (pronounced May-Z), and travel some more.
In 1992, John and Willie stumbled across a tiny little seaside cottage on a remote Bahamian island, population 50. They bought it and have spent the last sixteen years fixing it up. They now reside in the Bahamas, on their little acre of paradise, around four months a year, where John usually writes a book…or maybe not, depending on how well the fish are running.
All of his professional accomplishments aside, John is quick to remind folks that his real qualifications are that he's been married to the same woman for forty years, is the father of two successful adults, and the grandfather of seven children…make that seven well-behaved grandchildren.
John's Family (Written by John)
The major resource and inspiration for everything I've ever written is my wonderful family. This family photo was taken on Easter 2005. There you see me and Willie, both of our kids, Eric and Amy, and six of our seven grandchildren. Also able to make the shoot were my wonderful stepmother, Betsy, my wonderful mother-in-law, Wilma (deceased in October 2005), my sister Janet's wonderful husband Tom, my brother Monte and his wonderful wife Diane, and my wonderful brother-in-law Bill.
How Willie and I became a couple: In September of 1967, Wilma (not yet Willie) was one of 1000 or so students who came to hear my band play at Western Illinois University. In that particular five-some, I played rhythm guitar and sang lead, no small trick for someone who has trouble chewing gum and walking a straight line at the same time. About halfway through our last set, I noticed this "chick" (excuse me, but that's what we called women then) looking at me. No, staring at me. I started playing eye games with her, and she played right back. Now, this is the absolute truth: After the gig, I put up my guitar, turned around, and she was gone! I went back to my dorm room and lay awake trying to remember who she was standing near so I could perhaps find out who she was. She tells me she went back to her dorm room, found out my name, looked me up in the student directory, and decided right then and there that she wanted to be Wilma Rosemond. She liked my last name, it seems. She manipulated an introduction the next day, and it was LOVE at first meeting!!! We were married 10 months later and as of July 21, 2008, we will have been married 40 years, and every year has been better than the last.
Eric is 42 (at this writing — January 2011). He runs the aviation department and flies corporate jets for a local corporation. He and his wife Nancy live in Gastonia, about five miles from us, with their four boys, Jack, Patrick, Thomas, and sweet baby James.
Amy is 38. She is a homemaker and lives in Matthews, NC, about 40 minutes from us, with her husband Marshall and their three children — two boys – Connor and Holden – and a girl – Anna Caitlin – who will rule.
I'm "Bobo," by the way, which is how I've always, since I was born, been known to friends and family. My Mom called me the "the Bobo" before I was born. Tidbit: Charlton Heston and his wife-for-life Lydia visited my Mom and me in the hospital on the third day of my out of womb life (they worked with my parents in community theater in Asheville, NC) and gave me a little blue rubber elephant, a harbinger of things to come.
While on vacation on a remote island in the Bahamas in 1991, Willie and I stumbled across a cottage that was for sale. It was in bad need of repair, but the price was irresistible so we bought it. We've spent the last 14 years fixing it up, converting an outbuilding to a guest cottage, converting an open boat shed to a garage, landscaping, building walls, and so on. In the process, I've learned basic carpentry, wiring, plumbing, and have far more tolerance for frustration than ever before, which is good, given that the nearest Home Depot is 250 miles away. The island, which Jimmy Buffet says is one of his favorite places in the world, is but one mile square (that's a stretch), with a permanent population of approximately 65. Once a week, if it's not broken down, the "mail boat"–a small freighter–comes through from Nassau, bringing us supplies. Willie and I spend most of our spare time there, generally December through mid-January and mid-May through June, albeit I do come off island to do an occasional "can't pass up" speaking engagement. Our hopes are to eventually live there 6-9 months a year, but that's a ways off.
Back in Gastonia, Willie and I recently completed construction on a garage/home office, where you can sometimes find me at 2 a.m., insomniac that I usually am.
John's positions on items of "controversy"…
Spanking -
A reader from Dubuque, Iowa, recently wrote her local paper complaining about what she called my "spare the rod, spoil the child" philosophy. I know that this perception of me—that I advocate spanking—is not uncommon, so I'm going to try to clear this up, once and for all.
I do not advocate spanking. I never have, and never will. The misunderstanding grows out of the unfortunate tendency on the part of many people to think that if you are not specifically against something, then you must be in favor of it. The more controversial the topic, as is the case with spanking, the more likely a misunderstanding of this sort becomes.
I do not "believe" in spanking. However, I do not find, upon examining the research, compelling reason to believe that spankings, occasionally delivered by a parent who is obviously loving and whom the child trusts, are harmful. Some researchers (e.g., Murray Straus at the Family Research Institute, University of New Hampshire) claim to have found harm. There is good reason to believe that those research studies are tainted by ideological bias. When research into spanking is done by persons without such bias (e.g., Robert Larzelere, Director of Research, Boys' Town, Nebraska; Professor Diana Baumrind, University of California), no harm is found.
Most spankings, unfortunately, qualify as "stupid" in that even though not necessarily harmful, they accomplish absolutely nothing. This is attested to by the significant number of parents who report that they spank over and over again for the same misbehaviors. They obviously don't get it.
There is no compelling evidence to suggest that spankings cause children to believe that hitting is an acceptable way of dealing with frustration or conflict. The most aggressive children, researchers have found, tend to be those who are never spanked (which does not, in and of itself, justify spanking). I do not believe the government should step any further into the area of parent discipline than it already has. A government ban on spanking will open the door to further government interference in the parent-child relationship, and I view this as potentially harmful to our democracy. Furthermore, Robert Larzelere's follow-up study of the effect of the Swedish ban on parental spanking found an increase in child abuse after ten years. I believe our child abuse laws are sufficient to address parents who go "overboard" when spanking. I believe those laws should be enforced dispassionately, without regard for socioeconomic status, race, religious background, or personal background.
Certain biblical fundamentalists believe that God commands parents to spank. Although no expert, I am a student of Scripture. I have studied enough to come to the conclusion that the biblical term "the rod," as used in the context of the discipline of children, does not refer to spankings with tangible objects, or even spanking at all. It refers to discipline that is righteous, that steers a child toward virtue. That does not eliminate the option of spanking, but neither does it prescribe it.
I believe that spanking is a reasonable option in certain situations, with certain children. The research indicates that spanking is most effective between ages 2 and 6, and is most effective when paired with another consequence, such as removal of privilege. It should go without saying that the more a parent spanks his or her child, the less effective any given spanking will be.
It is my intention to educate parents to the fact that effective discipline is not conveyed by methods, whether spanking or otherwise, but through effective communication of instructions and expectations. Unfortunately, most parents who spank have failed to do just that.
Blended Families –
My mother was a single parent for most of the first seven years of my life, and from that point on, I grew up in what we today call 'step-families'– two of them, one with a stepfather, the other with a stepmother. I am, therefore, eminently qualified to comment on this experience from the child's perspective. Parents frequently ask if I have written books on adjective-children (e.g. adopted children) or adjective-families (e.g. blended families), which indicates they think either (1) one's approach to child rearing must be customized to the adjective that is one's child or (2) the rules for operating a family-with-adjective are different than those for operating a family constituted without adjective. The truth is that such unique child-rearing formulas and rules do not exist outside of therapy and book publishing, both of which profit from leading the public to think otherwise. A child is a child, and a family is a family. Unfortunately, books on how to raise the (insert adjective) child and how to operate the (insert adjective) family abound. These books do not clarify anything; they confound. They add to the already overwhelming cacophony of babble that surrounds the relatively simple, straightforward, and commonsensical task of raising children, which is why raising children has become (all of the women in my audiences agree) the single most stressful and anxiety-ridden thing a female will undertake in her entire life.
Because of said books, many parents think adjectives are more significant than the words child and family. These parents think they are raising adopteds and onlys and middles and attention-deficit-disorders and bipolars and learning-disableds and so on, the inevitable consequences of which include adjective anxiety, disciplinary paralysis, and atrophy of the commonsense gland. Needless to say, parents who fit this description also have great difficulty bringing any humor to the child-rearing process.
All children should be raised according to common principles, foremost of which is that parents should balance love and discipline in training children toward becoming productive, responsible members of society. Maintaining said balance requires that a parent's love be disciplined and that discipline reflect love and desire for the best interests of the child. Commonsense wraps itself neatly around the word "child"; it does not wrap itself well at all around words like "adopted."
Adjectives are much more slippery than nouns, after all. As a child is a child, a family is a family. The First Rule of Family Living is that the husband-wife relationship trumps all other family relationships. Husband and wife should pay far more attention to one another than they do the children; they should do more for one another than they do for the children; their relationship should be more active than the relationship either of them has with any child. In other words, marriage comes before family and family comes before children, in blendeds as well as non-blendeds, Amen.
If the family is headed by a parent who is single (note: as opposed to a single-parent family) the parent needs to have active extra-family relationships as well as an array of active interests that do not include his/her kids. This helps the children understand that their relationship with their dad/mom is not a substitute marriage. A blended-wife/mother recently asked me for an example of what she could do to let her daughter know that her marriage came first. "The next time your daughter asks you permission to do something," I said, "tell her that you'll ask her stepfather about it when he gets home." She laughed and said, "That'll blow her mind." If so, it's high time for the blowing to commence.
I spoke with authority on the subject because I was raised in what is today called a "blended family." I called my stepfather "Dad," I suppose because I intuitively realized that he was more of a father to me than he was a step-anything. Besides, children should not be allowed to call adults by their first names, so anything but "Dad" was out of the question. Likewise, I referred and still refer to the children of both my mother's and father's second marriages as my brothers and sisters. That made for, and continues to make for, a much simpler view of life not to mention more rewarding family relationships. That also makes me the oldest child in two families, an honor most people cannot claim.
Home Schooling -
Q: Several of my friends who home-school maintain that home-schooling keeps children away from bad influences within the peer group and other inappropriate situations at school. Is it realistic to keep a child sheltered from such things? How are they going to know how to function in the real world? Also, doesn't home-schooling necessitate over-involvement on the part of the mother?
A: Home-schooling and "sheltering" are hardly synonymous. A parent "shelters" by preventing a child from encountering realities that would be helpful, not harmful, to the child. For example, a parent who helps her third-grade child with his homework every night, making sure he answers every question correctly, is "sheltering." She is preventing her child from learning that he is capable of meeting challenges on his own. With good intent, she is all but guaranteeing that he will have serious problems when he begins to encounter challenges she cannot help him through. In the real world, after all, you don't have anyone sitting with you, making sure you don't make mistakes.
"But John!" a reader might be exclaiming. "The home-schooling mom is sitting with her child too!"
That simply goes to show, you can't judge a book by looking at its cover. The mother in the above example is enabling, thus disabling. If she is following one of many home-school curricula, the home-schooling mom is not fostering dependence; rather, she is facilitating independence in learning. Many moms whose children attend institutional schools are spending more time on a daily basis helping their children with homework than the typical home-schooling mom is spending in direct teaching. (Make no mistake about it, however, some parents who home-school have no business doing so. They are unqualified and/or are doing so for all the wrong reasons.)
A joke, found on the Internet: The parent of a home-schooled child says, "My wife and I used to worry about our child's socialization, but now we make sure he can relate to his peers. We let him watch R-rated movies."
Along those same lines, a public-school teacher recently told a friend of mine, a home-schooling mother, that her child needed "a few hard knocks by other children to toughen her up." My friend calmly replied, "I don't want my child to be tough."
We tend to forget that until the Twentieth Century, most children were home-schooled. All of the Founding Fathers, for example, were home-schooled. No evidence exists that when the time came, they had difficulty dealing with reality. Home schooling has proven itself, both historically and in recent times. Because of the home-school explosion of the last twenty years, a good amount of data on home-schooling outcomes now exists and continues to accumulate. The evidence is clear and irrefutable: home-schooled children suffer no disadvantage, academically or socially, over institutionally-schooled children. In fact, home-schooled children, when matched demographically with children who attend institutional schools, do better on achievement measures and measures of citizenship (behavior and social skills).
Is home-schooling for everyone? Absolutely not! For most single parents, it is not an option. For parents who are themselves not well educated, it is inadvisable. I do not recommend home-schooling for parents who are having major discipline problems with their children. That's a recipe for disaster. For parents who can send their children to institutional schools where both the learning and moral environments are excellent, home-schooling would be superfluous. And by no means should a parent home-school who just plain doesn't want to.

Rights -
- Because it is the most character-building, two-letter word in the English language, children have the right to hear their parents say "No" at least three times a day.
- Children have the right to find out early in their lives that their parents don't exist to make them happy, but to offer them the opportunity to learn the skills they will need to eventually make themselves happy.
- Children have a right to scream all they want over the decisions their parents make, albeit their parents have the right to confine said screaming to certain areas of their homes.
- Children have the right to find out early that their parents care deeply for them but don't give a hoot what their children think about them at any given moment in time.
- Because it is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, children have the right to hear their parents say "Because I said so" on a regular and frequent basis.
- Because it is the most character-building activity a child can engage in, children have the right to share significantly in the doing of household chores.
- Every child has the right to discover early in life that he isn't the center of the universe (or his family or his parents' lives), that he isn't a big fish in a small pond, and that he isn't the Second Coming, so as to prevent him from becoming an insufferable brat.
- Children have the right to learn to be grateful for what they receive, therefore, they have the right to receive all of what they truly need and very little of what they simply want.
- Children have the right to learn early in their lives that obedience to legitimate authority is not optional, that there are consequences for disobedience, and that said consequences are memorable and, therefore, persuasive.
- Every child has the right to parents who love him/her enough to make sure he/she enjoys all of the above rights.

ATLANTA - The third Saturday in October is not too early for Georgia Tech to worry about extending its streak of 16 consecutive bowl seasons.
ATLANTA - Vad Lee has started every game at quarterback for Georgia Tech this season only to be pulled from the past two. He'll also start Saturday against Syracuse as coach Paul Johnson says he's not changing starters even though the Yellow Jackets have lost three in a row.
PROVO, Utah - Taysom Hill passed for 244 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 65 yards and another score to lead BYU to a 38-20 victory over Georgia Tech on Saturday night.
PROVO, Utah - When BYU running back Jamaal Williams suffered a nasty concussion in a loss to Utah last month, his thoughts turned to his mother.
ATLANTA - One of Paul Johnson's primary messages to his team this week is simple: all is not lost because of two losses.
MIAMI - Another year, another double-digit lead for Georgia Tech over Miami.
ATLANTA - Coach Paul Johnson blames himself for Georgia Tech's struggles with, of all things, the spread option offense.
ATLANTA - Logan Thomas passed and ran for touchdowns in the first half, Virginia Tech's defense shut down Georgia Tech's running game and the Hokies beat the Yellow Jackets 17-10 on Thursday night.
ATLANTA - Georgia Tech can add to its strong start in the Atlantic Coast Conference when it plays Virginia Tech on Thursday night in the rivalry that often decides the Coastal Division.
ATLANTA - Georgia Tech is unbeaten but far from perfect in the view of coach Paul Johnson, who said Monday he plans a more streamlined offensive approach on Thursday night against Virginia Tech.
ATLANTA - This would not be another shootout.
ATLANTA - North Carolina began spending extra practice time on Georgia Tech's spread option offense over the summer. More opportunity for added preparation came with an off week before Saturday's game.
ATLANTA - Paul Johnson isn't making a big deal about the sudden balance in Georgia Tech's normally run-dominated spread-option offense.
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - North Carolina's defense doesn't want to get embarrassed by Georgia Tech again.
DURHAM, N.C. - Vad Lee always seems to play like this around here. Ted Roof's teams almost never did.
ATHENS - There's no need for any extra motivation when Georgia faces Georgia Tech.
ATLANTA - Georgia Tech's defense knows the way to the end zone.
ATLANTA - Georgia Tech has improved its chances of earning a spot in the ACC championship game, and this time, it was the defense playing the lead role.
ATLANTA - The most revealing plays of Saturday's matchup of Georgia Tech's running game against Clemson's defense may come on third downs.
RALEIGH, N.C. - Georgia Tech's offense did its normal yard-churning work. This time, though, the once-struggling defense pitched in on the scoring to give the Yellow Jackets a dominating road win.
ATLANTA - Georgia Tech's defense is earning compliments instead of criticism.
ATLANTA - While Synjyn Days again kept Georgia Tech's offense running, Virginia's ground game disappeared.
ATLANTA - Georgia Tech's Paul Johnson expects the next two weekends to provide clarity in the muddled ACC Coastal Division race.
ATLANTA - A back-to-basics approach is producing offense at a rate rarely seen in Georgia Tech history.

Now That's What I Call New Pop!
By Jess Harvell , September 12, 2005
40. Dollar: "Give Me Back My Heart"
Released: March 1982
Chart peak: UK #4, U.S. N/A
Dollar were an impossibly daft pop duo comprised of David Paul Van Day, who went on to run a hot dog truck, and Thereza Lorraine Bazar, who looked like Leeza Gibbons in a shag haircut and marching band outfit. In the spirit of most impossibly daft pop duos, Dollar sold a stupid amount of records and bothered the charts for a few years before failure to penetrate the top 100 suggested they were going the way of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band. By 1981, Trevor Horn was, if not a laughing stock, certainly not taken very seriously, a prog refugee who had briefly attempted to "go new wave" with the Buggles before just giving up the ghost entirely and joining Yes. (Yes, that Yes.)
After leaving Yes, Horn chose to go into production full-time. (His Buggles partner, Geoff Downes, went on to join Asia.) Though a washed-up Europop duo and a washed up prog boffin aren't the most likely pairing to spark a revolution, it was pretty much what happened. Ironically, it was probably Horn's prog know-how which enabled his "superhuman" studio sound, but instead of scoring epic, orchestral compositions, he funnelled his knowledge into three-minute pop singles and became the biggest producer in England almost overnight.
39. OMD: "Enola Gay"
Released: October 1980
Chart peak: UK #8, U.S. #34 (Club Play)
OMD would go on to swallow middle-American teens whole with stuff like "If You Leave", but this was their first top 10 hit in the UK and Europe, at a time when they were still trading in political statements and arty album packaging. Written and recorded in the aftermath of Margaret Thatcher's election and the policies that would essentially make the UK a beachhead for nuclear hostilities between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, "Enola Gay" is a strange mix of the subtle and overblown. The band makes no explicit anti-nuclear, anti-Thatcher references. Instead it throws the history of Hiroshima over incredibly tarty synthpop, chilling and thrilling and utterly daft, the kind of mutant the era demanded.
38. Culture Club: "Time (The Clock of the Heart)"
Released: November 1982
Chart peak: UK #3, U.S. #2
Boy George started out as a new romantic scenster, a sort of early '80s Warhol superstar, more known for being than doing. After being hired and then summarily fired from Bow Wow Wow by Malcom McLaren, he vowed revenge. And of course he succeeded, becoming far bigger than BWW ever were, smiling impishly from the cover of Rolling Stone. "Time" may not be their best single. If it never trawls the cutie pie depths of "I'll Tumble 4 Ya", then perhaps it's a little too unerringly tasteful, from the non-stick production values to the sax solo. Still, it does illustrate how perilous the veneration of surface was in new pop. Waiting on the other side of the looking glass was Spandau Ballet's "True", and everything that followed in its wake-- when slick curdles to schlock.
37. Simple Minds: "Promised You a Miracle"
Released: April 1982
Chart peak: UK #13, U.S. #65 (Club Play)
Simple Minds were another band who would pump up their new pop sound on a regimen of stadium heavy lifting and an Atkins diet of classic rock maneuvers to conquer the charts of America in the late '80s. They were possibly the most art-rock of them all at the outset, skipping nodes between knowing Roxy Eurodisco and dramarama chest-thumping boy's own adventure. Eventually, however, they decided to shift to writing songs for the radio rather than sporting arenas of the mind. "Promised You a Miracle" is one of the first results and, yes, it's exultant, triumphant, shimmering clouds of guitar, sunshafts through mountain passes, all that. But there's also a song in there, and that makes all the difference. These guys had absolute no taste though: Can you believe Jim Kerr actually doesn't like "Don't You (Forget About Me)"?
36. U2: "I Will Follow"
Released: October 1980
Chart peak: UK N/A, U.S. #20 (Mainstream Rock)
Of course, no one followed the OMD/Simple Minds route to bigger success than Macphisto & co. For those under 30 it's next to impossible to remember a time when they weren't the biggest rock band in the world. But-- before Brian Eno, Bo Diddley, and Bono's mullet-- there was actually some competition between U2 and Simple Minds, the Bunnymen, et al. for the stadium hearts of the UK. Even then, though, you could probably suss out who was going to come out on top. Mostly it was that ringing, choppy guitar riff on "I Will Follow", their fourth single. And the chorus is pretty good, too.
35. Wham!: "Wham! Rap"
Released: January 1983
Chart peak: UK #8, U.S. N/A
Of all the bands on this list, Wham! were the least punk. New pop let a lot of former indie bands in through the back door, but it was also when the crass, bottle-tanned barbarians stormed the "Top of the Pops" studios and kicked the leftover '70s dinosaurs out the door with a big cartoon boot. "Wham! Rap" is exactly what it says on the tin and almost as ghastly (George Michael is not exactly Rakim), kind of like Bow Wow Wow buffed to a hi-gloss shine. But its ghastliness is what gives it a slight edge of rebellion-- how dare they?-- and what elevates it beyond the neon short-shorted horrors they would soon be responsible for.
34. John Foxx: "Burning Car"
Released: July 1980
Chart peak: UK #35, U.S. N/A
As lead singer for Bowie impersonators Ultravox before they blew up with the execrable "Vienna", Foxx is a true synth-pop pioneer, namechecked now by everyone from Adult. to the Junior Boys. If anything, was responsible for the disenchanted Euro-vox of electroclash (Y chromosome division), it was Foxx and his solo albums like 1980s classic Metamatic. Over a grinding vision of Kraftwerk, Foxx drones on about the titular object, a feature of urban wastelands everywhere by that time, something left out of Kwerk's autobahn utopia. The anti-Marc Almond, Foxx makes The Man Who Fell to Earth sound like Charles Nelson Reilly, though it's a contest to see which sounds more disinterested, Foxx or his machines. Critics are quick to distance electronic music from the "emotionless" epithet, but Foxx made an art out of it.
33. Depeche Mode: "Just Can't Get Enough"
Released: September 1981
Chart peak: UK #8, U.S. #26 (Club Play)
Though they went to become the biggest stadium goth band of the '80s (well, tied with the Cure, anyway), the early Depeche Mode singles were pure synth-pop. Though I love plenty they did after discovering the joys of heavy handed bible references, there's a definite charm to their first records, like if Sabbath had power-pop singles hiding in their closet. The secret weapon is Vince Clarke-- soon to leave to form Yazoo and then Erasure, more or less dominating "that English queer shit" for the rest of the decade-- who constructs synth melodies so bouncy they might as well be Superballs.
32. Echo & The Bunnymen: "A Promise"
Released: July 1981
Chart peak: UK #49, U.S. N/A
The Bunnymen grew out of the Crucial Three, an aptly named group that contained Ian McCulloch and two other key Liverpudlian figures in new pop/new rock, Pete Wylie of Wah! Heat and Julian Cope of the Teardrop Explodes. The Bunnymen were stars in the UK, but they were roundly destroyed in the U.S. by the band the British music press frequently threw them up against, U2. McCulloch was never going to have the charisma of a Bono (or the shamelessness to pull all of the asinine American rock moves Bono did to become a star), but early Echo trumps early U2 nearly every time. "A Promise" is not exactly pop-- too dark, too dense-- but it's definitely not rock.
31. The Teardrop Explodes: "Reward"
Released: January 1981
Chart peak: UK #6, U.S. N/A
Though he's best known (and beloved) now as music's resident druid archivist of esoterica, there was a point and time when Julian Cope was actually concerned with making the pop charts. "[Post-punk] is getting to be like the early seventies again where you had the hippies into all their weird music," he told the NME at the time, a statement rife with irony now. And he was pulling it off to boot. "Bless my cotton socks, I'm in the news," he sings on the opening of "Reward", possibly the most ridiculous pop couplet ever written. But "Reward" is actually a snippy commentary on pop stardom in the great post-punk tradition. The sound though: over thundering bass and drums, "Reward" has a brass section tooting out blasts of golden light. Like Dexys Midnight Runners, the Teardrop Explodes had brass that sounded, well, brassy, reintroducing the kind of horns to pop that hadn't been fashionable for years.
