Have you ever adopted a child to give presents to?
Asked at Java Break, 17 E. Seventh St. on December 23, 2004
"I was this close, but I'm too poor to buy presents for my own family."
"Yes, I did. They had ornaments on the tree at church. I picked a 3-year-old boy. He's the same age as my son, so I knew just what to get him."
"Yes. I adopted a family from school. I got the kids remote-control cars and a bike."
"I adopted one with a company that I was working for as part of a Christmas program."

We used to adopt a family every year at my previous employer. It was a lot of fun to go buy things and know that their Christmas will be just a little better.
ms_canada: Thank you for the cold arctic air you sent our way! (ha ha ha).
ms_canada 10 years ago
Yes, I adopted a young lad through Foster Parents Plan of Canada. He lived in La Paz, Bolivia, was 5 years old and I had him for 11 years. Sent him lots of gifts and supported him and his mother and two sisters for all that time. His name was Marcelino Mamani. Golly, I haven't thought of him for a long time. I still have a stack of his letters and drawings that he sent me. When he turned 16 F.P.P. took him off their rolls. I did miss his letters. I always planned to go see him, but never did and regret it.

Yes, there is. My 'adopted' brother, who not only attended but now works for Mizzou, is locally active in charities in Columbia. He has many friends who are also active with local organizations that help families, feed and house the homeless, and support people trying to make ends meet. There's not 'just one' Mizzou person with a heart. There are thousands.
They have an extremely active chapter of Habitat for Humanity, and having lived in that city for several years and volunteered with the Regional AIDS Interfaith Network (a nondenominational faith-based organization that provided and coordinated not only AIDS education and education about treatment, but compassionate care for people in hospice, housecleaning and pet care services for the terminally ill, counseling for people coping with HIV, and general aid and comfort to the dying), I can tell you that they are very open to helping others as much as they can.
As to the question itself, I have participated in adopting families a few times through work, and this year I took the fifty dollars I came in under budget on my Holiday shopping, and bought toys for Toys for Tots. Every year for the last six or eight years, any amount of my holiday budget left over goes to help a stranger's Christmas. But I certainly couldn't afford to adopt a whole family myself. That would be more than my entire holiday budget.
ive_got_my_ascot_n_my_dickie 10 years ago
True story: Two years ago my coworkers and I adopted a family to buy gifts for. We received a list with the names of four adults and five kids. We went all out and got clothes, toys, etc for everyone. We even bought an X-Box video game system for the kids. Three of us went to the house to drop off the gifts around lunch time one day and found three of the adults sitting around the kitchen table drinking beer. They said, "Just put the presents over there in the corner." We dropped off the gifts and never got a "thank you" from anyone in the house. That was the last time we decided to adopt a family for the holidays.
acg 10 years ago
The same thing happened to us this year ascot/dickie. We adopted two families thru work. One in Douglas Co. thru the Ballard Ctr. and one in Shawnee Co. The Ballard Ctr. folks were very appreciative, which they generally are (great people out there, btw) but the Shawnee Co. fam blew my mind. The mother (it was a single mother with 5 kids) was diagnosed with uterine cancer so when we got her info we were all like "wow, she's really deserving". She showed up at my office to pick up the loot, smoking a cigarette, was totally rude to us when she walked in the door, flicked her butt on the steps outside. We showed her where the pile of gifts was sitting and she made some sort of smart assed crack about how she was supposed to get it all into the car by herself and then we helped her load it. Then she drove off without any word of any kind. No thanks, have a nice day, kiss my butt or nothing. That is also the last time we adopt families. I don't mind helping out the needy and I understand they don't want to be embarrassed or humiliated by coming to strangers with hat in hand, but at least act a little grateful! Jeez.

Sheldon Allan Silverstein
The Hunter
I have fought against the poodle with his gory, deadly paws;
I have faced the fearsome kitten, wild and bony,
And somehow I've evaded the enormous chomping jaws
Of the frighteningly ferocious Shetland pony.
My triumph o'er the rabbit is now sung throughout the land,
And men still speak in whispers of the day
When, attacked by twelve mosquitoes, with my one unwounded hand,
I killed nine of them and dove the rest away.
I have faced the housefly in his lair, I have stalked the ladybug
And the caterpillar, grim and fierce and hairy;
That trophy there is bumblebee, and this, my favourite rug,
Has been fashioned from the hide of a canary.
I have dove into the ocean to do combat with a shrimp,
I have dared the hen to come on out and fight;
I have battled with the butterfly (that's why I have this limp),
And I slew a monstrous grubworm just last night.
But this evening I must sally forth to meet the savage moth,
And if I don't come back in time for tea,
You shall know that I fell gallantly, as gallantly I fought
So please be gentle when you speak of me.

One More 'The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies' Trailer Offers Story Overview
Posted on Thursday, December 11th, 2014 by Russ Fischer
Peter Jackson has spent about fifteen years all told in Middle-Earth, and his dual set of massive Tolkien adaptations is coming to an end in just a couple weeks with the release of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. Well, almost an end, as there will still be the inevitable extended edition blu-ray release. The end of the series is protracted enough at this point that what was once billed as the final Hobbit trailer really was not, in fact, the last one. This UK trailer is (maybe) truly the final Hobbit trailer, and (much like the recent fan-made effort) it offers a sweeping overview of the whole Hobbit series so far. Read More »

As Gas Tax Increase Looms, Highway Employees Party
Updated: Friday, August 2 2013, 09:22 PM EDT
As state leaders ponder raising the gas tax, Fox 45 has learned the agency which would spend the money shelled out thousands of taxpayer dollars for employees to attend a downtown conference.
The State Department of Transportation shelled out $60,000 last month for roughly 250 employees to attend a training conference at the Baltimore Hilton which included meals, an open bar party, and a Pinewood Derby competition.
State whistleblowers say the tab could be thousands of dollars higher if hotel stays and salaries are added.
The State Highway Administration, which sent dozens of employees to the conference, has been the subject of scathing audits. State investigators found waste and abuse of taxpayer dollars inside the agency.
Still, state leaders say more money is needed to fix ailing bridges and roads.

NM woman parlays $1 investment into $5,500 payout
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - A Santa Fe woman has parlayed her sister's $1 investment in an old ammunition box into a $5,500 payout.
Marlene Arsola received the check this week from the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
She tells the Albuquerque Journal ( http://bit.ly/Spig55) that her sister bought a couple of metal ammunition boxes for $1 each at an auction about eight years ago.
One box was empty but the other had shredded currency.
Arsola's sister took the bills that were partially intact to the bank and received $400 to $500 for them. She turned over the smaller shreds to Arsola, who enjoys doing puzzles.
She didn't put the pieces together but eventually contacted the Treasury Department about the mutilated money.
She discovered the check in her mail Thursday.

Tech Companies Issue Loud Call For Surveillance Transparency
Originally published on Thu July 18, 2013 11:44 am
Apple, Google, Microsoft and a broad coalition of major tech companies are making a loud call for greater government disclosure of digital communications monitoring.
In a letter out today, an alliance of 63 companies and groups are calling for dramatically increased transparency around U.S. government surveillance efforts. This comes as the companies — and individual Americans — continue to grapple with recent revelations of a sweeping surveillance program led by the National Security Agency.
The alliance, which also includes investors and trade organizations — asks for Internet and communications service providers to report national security-related requests with specificity.
In the letter addressed to President Obama, National Intelligence Director James Clapper, Attorney General Eric Holder and congressional leaders, they've asked to regularly report:
• The number of government requests for information about their users.
• The number of individuals, accounts or devices for which information was requested.
• And the number of requests that sought communications content, basic subscriber information and/or other information.
The coalition also asks that the government begin issuing a transparency report of its own, and in it, provide similar information — the total number of requests made and the number of individuals affected by each.
You may notice that no hosting providers like Amazon Web Services or Go Daddy have co-signed the letter. Also absent are payment processors like Visa and Mastercard. We're reaching out to these companies and will update with their input.

An Office of Naval Research (ONR) supported enterprise brings sweeping changes to electric power & energy education at U.S. universities.
"The number of power engineers in the United States is dwindling just when the Navy and the country as a whole need them most," said Dr. Peter Cho, a program officer in ONR's Ship Systems and Engineering Research Division who is overseeing the project.
Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus has used a set of aggressive goals to guide the service toward renewable power as well as electric ships and weapons. The new curriculum, which covers everything from power systems and electric drives to wind energy and electric grids, takes into account global trends in sustainability and renewable energy.
"Electricity is a critical element for every ship the Navy is building now," Cho said. "Researchers are working on all-electric ships, hybrid drives and more, yet we are limited in the power engineering area."
Cho is carrying on the tradition of recently retired ONR program officer Terry Ericsen, whose support of University of Minnesota electrical engineering professor Ned Mohan has led to the Consortium of Universities for Sustainable Power and the creation of videos, textbooks, tests, assignments and lab demos that will help bring the nation's electric energy studies in line with current attitudes and practices.
Initial funding from the National Science Foundation allowed Mohan to hold early workshops on revising the curriculum as far back as 1990. ONR provided new funding for the project in 2006, and now more than 100 universities across the country have adopted Mohan's curriculum.

Australian X Factor winner Reece Mastin is embroiled in a sexting scandal.
A Newcastle, New South Wales, girl claims that the singer has tried to solicit nude images from her, news.com.au reported.
The publication says it has obtained private messages sent from someone using Mastin's Twitter account in which he asked the teen to send a "secret snapchat".
Snapchat is a messaging app that allows people to send photos which will be hidden from the recipient's device after a short while.
After the person posing as Mastin asked the teenager to send him a picture on Snapchat, she responded: "You have a girlfriend so it wouldn't be appropriate."
He responded: "I do I do hahaha. Secret Snapchat?"
The girl, whose name was not released, was faced with a backlash from fans of the teenage heart-throb accusing her of making up the story.
"I have photos and a video to proove (sic) it. He asked for them while with Rhiannon, so many boys do it," she tweeted, referring to the singer's girlfriend, Home and Away actress Rhiannon Fish.
She insisted there was no reason why she would have lied. "Why would i lie about something like this, especially since i was such a huge fan," (sic).
Mastin also tweeted about the incident, thanking his fans for not believing "this stupid thing."
Thanks you to all my fans that didn't take part and believe this stupid thing, you guys are the ones I call my true lil rockers and I love u

Against the baritone burble of cauldrons of soup, custom T-shirts definitively end debates about who is the greatest grandpa. Boutique apparel from designers such as Bella Taylor informs the world of the wearer's fashion sense, and ornaments and home accents from lines such as Willow Tree beg to add endearing flourishes to domiciles.

EL DORADO COUNTY (CBS13) -– A suspect in two shootings out of the Bay Area has been captured in El Dorado County, according to authorities.
El Dorado County Sheriff's deputies caught up with 50-year-old Doran Long on westbound Highway 50 at Ponderosa Road shortly before 6 a.m. There was a short chase before Long pulled over, but he didn't surrender. A K-9 dog was used to arrest Long and the dog bit him, according to the sheriff's department. The highway was shutdown for a short time during the felony arrest.
Long is a security guard suspected in two shootings late Wednesday night.
Police say he opened fire at the Crescent Park Apartments in Richmond at about 10:30 p.m., wounding his supervisor. The two had argued earlier in the evening when Long was suspended, police said. He also fired dozens of shots at his neighbor's house in Concord, barely missing a 9-year-old child, police said.
Long works for a private security firm.
The Concord Police Department had alerted the El Dorado County Sheriff's Department that Long could be headed its way.
Long was taken to Marshall Hospital for medical clearance and then booked into the county jail.

King County prosecutors have added an additional rape charge against Seattle attorney Danford Grant, whose bail was reduced from $3 million to $1 million during a hearing Thursday morning.
Seattle Times staff reporter
King County prosecutors have added an additional first-degree-rape charge against jailed Seattle attorney Danford Grant, whose bail was reduced Thursday from $3 million to $1 million.
Grant, 47, is now charged with seven felony counts, including four counts of first-degree rape, for alleged attacks on five women who work at massage-therapy offices in Seattle, Bellevue and Shoreline. Grant is also charged with one count of attempted second-degree rape, one count of first-degree burglary and one count of second-degree rape.
The new charge stems from the alleged rape of a cashier for a Seattle massage therapist in June.
The woman told Seattle police that sometime between June 15 and 20 a man who had been in the business about an hour earlier approached her in the parking lot around 9:30 p.m. and claimed to be a police officer, according to charging paperwork.
The woman, believing the man had a gun, complied with his demand that she sit in the passenger seat of the car. She said that the man drove her car to an area she was unfamiliar with and raped her, according to charges.
The woman didn't immediately report the incident because she was ashamed, charges allege. She told police that she didn't know about Grant's arrest, nor had she seen a photo of him, according to the charges.
When shown a photo montage, the woman immediately picked out a photo of Grant, according to charging paperwork.
Seattle attorney Richard Hansen, who is representing Grant, sought to have Grant's bail reduced to $250,000, but during a hearing Thursday King County Superior Court Judge Mary Yu reduced the amount to $1 million. Hansen said he's hopeful Grant will be released from jail by next week.
Prosecutors opposed lowering Grant's bail.
"The voluminous evidence in this case paints a striking picture of the defendant's compulsive and violent sexual assaults of numerous women in three cities across King County. The defendant is a profound danger to the community and his bail should not be reduced," senior deputy prosecutors Val Richey and Corinn Bohn wrote in their opposition to the bail reduction.
Grant's mother plans to post his bail through assets, including large real-estate holdings in Kansas, according to court filings.
A condition of Grant's release is that he be on electronic-home monitoring. Defense lawyer David Allen, who is also representing Grant, said that he hopes the two sides can come to an agreement on how the monitoring should work without having another court hearing.
In seeking the bail reduction, Grant wrote in court filings that his release would allow him to help in preparing his defense against the charges.
"I very much need to be out of jail to defend against these charges and to help my attorneys work on the case," Grant wrote. "It is awkward and difficult to meet them in jail ... "
Grant wrote that he's only granted an hour a day out of his cell, as well as limited phone use. He also wrote that he's depressed and in need of his therapist and medications.
Grant's mother, Margaret Engelhardt, and his wife, Jennifer, a prosecutor with the Seattle City Attorney's Office, also made pleadings for his bail reduction in court filings.
"As a prosecutor and a woman, I am well aware of the seriousness of the allegations against my husband, but not withstanding that, I know from my interactions with him that Dan takes the charges seriously, and that he will abide by any and all conditions required of him upon his release," Jennifer Grant wrote in her pleading for a bail reduction.
Grant's lawyers say he is not a flight risk because his passport has expired.
Grant was arrested Sept. 24 a couple of blocks from a Greenwood massage clinic after raping a massage therapist, according to charging documents. He allegedly raped the same woman at knife point in a private room on Sept. 19, after paying for a massage, the charges say.
He has also been charged with attacks on message therapists in Shoreline and Bellevue.
Until recently Grant was a law partner at Bailey Grant Onsager, a law firm previously known as Stafford Frey Cooper. Grant's name is no longer listed on the firm's website as being affiliated with the firm. The site notes that papers have been filed with the secretary of state to change the law firm's name to Bailey Onsager.
Officials at Bailey Onsager did not return calls for comment.

AMD's desktop Trinity APUs have yet to break cover, but that hasn't stopped Gigabyte from detailing a couple of FM2 motherboards designed for the new processors. Navigate over to Gigabyte's website, and you'll find listings for the GA-F2A75M-D3H and GA-F2A85X-UP4. The latter is a full-sized ATX affair with a black PCB, so you know it's targeted at enthusiasts. There's even a bright red power button on the circuit board.
The GA-F2A85X-UP4 features Gigabyte's latest Ultra Durable tech, which includes fancy MOSFETs from International Rectifier. Digital power circuitry feeds the APU, and there are separate "power zones" for the chip's CPU and GPU components. Folks using the integrated Radeon will be able to choose from four different video outputs. Gigabyte is throwing in a copy of Lucid's Virtu Universal MVP software to bolster the integrated graphics, as well.
If you want to run a discrete graphics card, no fewer than three PCIe x16 slots can be found on the board. The top two can be arranged in a dual-x8 config, while the third slot is limited to four lanes of bandwidth. AMD's A85X platform hub provides the board with a whopping eight 6Gbps SATA ports, one of which is routed to the rear cluster. The chip also serves up four USB 3.0 ports, which are complemented by two more from an auxiliary Etron controller.
The microATX GA-F2A75M-D3H is considerably less exotic, with analog power circuitry and no Virtu software. This board has just two PCIe x16 slots, and they're stuck in a x16/x4 config. The number of display outputs has been cut to three; DisplayPort is out but VGA, DVI-D, and HDMI connectors remain. That's likely to be enough video outs for most folks. The six 6Gbps SATA and four USB 3.0 ports provided by the A75 platform hub should be plenty for typical systems, too.
There's no information on how much the boards will cost, but you can bet the UP4 will be the pricier of the two. Seems like overkill for an APU whose primary appeal is likely to be its integrated graphics, though. Thanks to X-bit labs for the tip.

Two arrested in woman's death
Police arrested a 16-year-old girl and her boyfriend on first-degree murder complaints after the body of the girl's mother was found Friday. The body's discovery also ended a monthlong missing person case.
Oklahoma City police accuse Jordan Kemp, 16, and her boyfriend, Jason Bales, 23, of killing Stepheny Glass, 36. Kemp had told police her mother was last seen June 11, Sgt. Paco Balderrama said. But the investigation took a turn Friday afternoon when police found Glass' body in a shallow grave near the 1500 block of S Western Avenue, Balderrama said. "Oklahoma City homicide detectives made contact and gathered sufficient information to make a probable cause arrest in the murder of Stepheny Glass," he said. Shortly after Glass was reported missing, police sent a missing person report to the media asking for the public's help to find her. But a close friend of Glass, Tama Kittel, said she called police detectives because something didn't make sense. "Jordan began telling me that her mother loved her boyfriend," Kittel said. Being a close friend, Kittel said she knew better. Kemp and Bales wanted to marry, but Glass would have nothing of it, Kittel said. "Jason wasn't allowed to hang out with Jordan," she said. Police did not say how Glass was killed. No other details about the case were available. Kemp and Bales are being held in the Oklahoma County jail in lieu of bail.

Wellcome Trust's investment portfolio reaches £18bn

The Charity Commission has defended its voluntary redundancy scheme as good value for money for the taxpayer, insisting that it has already paid for itself and will deliver further savings of £4m a year going forward.
Earlier this week civilsociety.co.uk reported that the £4.3m cost of making 129 people redundant between January 2011 and March 2013 had so far delivered just £3.3m in savings to the Commission's wage bill.
But the Commission has pointed out that if the social security and pension costs of those employees are taken into account, the saving rises to £4.2m, just short of the £4.3m cost of the severance packages.
A spokeswoman for the Commission also added that the regulator expects a further £4m in savings will accrue each year from now as a result of the job cuts, so it is confident that this represents "good value for money for the taxpayer".
The regulator also sought to defend the size of the severance packages agreed, after some readers of Tuesday's story were aghast at the amount of some of them.
In the same week that the BBC and the NHS have come under fire for their redundancy programmes, the Commission revealed that one of its severance payments was in the range £150,000-200,000; three were between £100,000 and £150,000, and 26 ex-employees were given payments of between £50,000 and £100,000.
Social entrepreneur Sally Smith commented that statutory redundancy pay would be between 0.5 and 1.5 weeks pay for every year worked, dependent on age, so the Charity Commission's average redundancy payment of £33,000 across all 129 employees would equate to the average employee working for 20 years on a final salary of £85,000.
"Why in times of austerity and dramatic cuts have the Charity Commission been so very generous in their redundancy payouts?" she said.
Steve Edwards described the amounts as "ludicrously excessive" and "more like the kind of redundancy payments that you would expect in the banking sector".
In response to a question from civilsociety.co.uk about how many of the severance packages exceeded the statutory minimum, the Commission spokeswoman said that the statutory redundancy scheme does not apply to civil servants.
Instead, all civil service exits are governed and calculated in line with the Civil Service Compensation Scheme (CSCS), which sets out the level of compensation that departments can pay their staff if they leave under voluntary or compulsory redundancy.
"None of the package payments went beyond the terms of the CSCS," the spokeswoman said. "Many of our staff have given very long service; this is why some of the awards were quite significant."

Another ghastly incidence of one rule for "us" and another for "them".
How long will it take for all of the "redundant" people to be taken back on an agency basis as self employed hires / consultants etc.
The nepotism and self serving character of the Civil Service is disgusting. One notes the report just out that so many in the NHS made redundant in one authority have been taken on in another. Revolving doors going so fast that they make you giddy!

Ottawa, ON (SportsNetwork.com) - Rookie defenseman Seth Jones scored with 1:11 remaining in overtime and the Nashville Predators edged the Ottawa Senators, 4-3.
The Senators forced the extra session with a spirited third-period comeback, scoring three times in the final 12:05.
On the game-ending goal, Nashville defenseman Ryan Ellis had a breakaway. Robin Lehner stopped Ellis' shot, but Jones pushed the rebound under the goalie's right pad.
Nick Spaling combined with Craig Smith and Eric Nystrom for Nashville's three- goal second period. The output matched the total amount of goals the Predators scored in their previous four games, all regulation losses.
Pekka Rinne made 34 saves in his first win since returning from a hip infection.
Senators starting goalie Craig Anderson allowed three goals on 29 shots before being shaken up in a third-period collision. Lehner stopped 12 shots in relief for Ottawa, which has dropped five of its last seven games.
The recently acquired Ales Hemsky keyed the rally, collecting assists on all three Ottawa goals.
"It shows a lot about the character in the room," Hemsky said about his team's comeback.
The first two were scored by defenseman.
After Jared Cowen chipped the puck over Rinne to put the Senators on the board, Marc Methot trimmed the deficit to one at 10:34.
Hemsky moved the puck behind the Nashville net to Jason Spezza and he whipped it out front to Methot, whose one-timer found the back of the net.
Spezza tied the game with 1:07 remaining. Hemsky sent a slap pass that deflected off Nashville defenseman Shea Weber and on goal. Spezza was positioned at the left post and banged home the puck.
"They played hard in the third and it was obviously nice getting that one in overtime," said Nashville forward Mike Fisher.
The Predators broke out of their offensive funk in the middle stanza.
Spaling and Smith each scored on deflections 1:40 apart, with the latter goal coming at the midway point of the period.
A failed clear by Methot led to Nystrom beating Anderson for his 100th NHL point.
Senators defenseman Cody Ceci left the game in the first period and didn't
return after being struck in the head by a Weber slap shot. Ceci suffered a
laceration behind his right ear ... The Predators snapped a three-game losing
streak against the Senators ... Ottawa forward Clarke MacArthur missed his
second consecutive game with a hand injury.
