FMLA: Can I use accrued sick time?
Am I allowed to use accrued sick time as part of my family leave in order to be paid for this time away from the office?Question:
The FMLA allows employees to substitute paid sick leave for unpaid FMLA leave. However, there are some limitations. You should be able to use sick leave for unpaid FMLA leave if the leave is for your own personal illness. It is possible that you will not be allowed to substitute paid sick leave if you are requesting leave to care for a family member.
The FMLA generally requires unpaid leave. The FMLA also provides for substituting appropriate paid leave for the unpaid leave required by the Act. An employee may elect - or an employer may require the employee - to substitute any of the employee's accrued paid-vacation leave, personal leave, or family leave if it is:
- For the birth of a child, and to care for such child;
- For placement of a child with the employee for adoption or foster care, and to care for such child; or,
- To care for the employee's spouse, child or parent, if the spouse, child or parent has a serious health condition.
Family leave as used in the FMLA refers to paid leave provided by the employer "...covering the particular circumstances for which the employee is seeking leave under FMLA for birth or adoption of a child, or for the serious health condition of an immediate family member."
However, it is possible that you will not be able to use sick leave if you are requesting leave to care for a child, parent or spouse with a serious health condition. The FMLA allows employers to restrict the use of sick leave to the same circumstances as when the employee is sick. Therefore, if you cannot take a sick-leave day to care for a sick child, then you will not be able to substitute sick leave to care for a sick child. If your employer allows employees to substitute sick days when they need to care for a sick child, then you should be allowed to substitute sick days for unpaid FMLA leave days to care for a sick child.
Sec. 825.207 Is FMLA leave paid or unpaid?
(a) Generally, FMLA leave is unpaid. However, under the circumstances described in this section, FMLA permits an eligible employee to choose to substitute paid leave for FMLA leave. If an employee does not choose to substitute accrued paid leave, the employer may require the employee to substitute accrued paid leave for FMLA leave.
(b) Where an employee has earned or accrued paid vacation, personal or family leave, that paid leave may be substituted for all or part of any (otherwise) unpaid FMLA leave relating to birth, placement of a child for adoption or foster care, or care for a spouse, child or parent who has a serious health condition. The term "family leave" as used in FMLA refers to paid leave provided by the employer, covering the particular circumstances for which the employee seeks leave for either the birth of a child and to care for such child, placement of a child for adoption or foster care, or care for a spouse, child or parent with a serious health condition. For example, if the [Page 2249] employer's leave plan allows use of family leave to care for a child but not for a parent, the employer is not required to allow accrued family leave to be substituted for FMLA leave used to care for a parent.
(c) Substitution of paid accrued vacation, personal or medical/sick leave may be made for any (otherwise) unpaid FMLA leave needed to care for a family member or the employee's own serious health condition. Substitution of paid sick/medical leave may be elected to the extent the circumstances meet the employer's usual requirements for the use of sick/medical leave. An employer is not required to allow substitution of paid sick or medical leave for unpaid FMLA leave "in any situation" where the employer's uniform policy would not normally allow such paid leave. An employee, therefore, has a right to substitute paid medical/sick leave to care for a seriously ill family member only if the employer's leave plan allows paid leave to be used for that purpose. Similarly, an employee does not have a right to substitute paid medical/sick leave for a serious health condition which is not covered by the employer's leave plan.
(1) Disability leave for the birth of a child would be considered FMLA leave for a serious health condition and counted in the 12 weeks of leave permitted under FMLA. Because the leave pursuant to a temporary-disability benefit plan is not unpaid, the provision for substitution of paid leave is inapplicable. However, the employer may designate the leave as FMLA leave and count the leave as running concurrently for purposes of both the benefit plan and the FMLA leave entitlement. If the requirements to qualify for payments pursuant to the employer's temporary-disability plan are more stringent than those of FMLA, the employee must meet the more-stringent requirements of the plan, or may choose not to meet the requirements of the plan and instead receive no payments from the plan and use unpaid FMLA leave or substitute available accrued paid leave.
(2) The Act provides that a serious health condition may result from injury to the employee "on or off" the job. Either the employee or the employer may choose to have the employee's FMLA 12-week leave entitlement run concurrently with a workers' compensation absence when the injury is one that meets the criteria for a serious health condition. As the workers'-compensation absence is not unpaid leave, the provision for substitution of the employee's accrued paid leave is not applicable. However, if the health-care provider treating the employee for the workers' compensation injury certifies the employee is able to return to a "light-duty job" but is unable to return to the same or equivalent job, the employee may decline the employer's offer of a "light-duty job." As a result, the employee may lose workers'-compensation payments, but is entitled to remain on unpaid FMLA leave until the 12-week entitlement is exhausted. - As of the date workers'-compensation benefits cease, the substitution provision becomes applicable, and either the employee may elect or the employer may require the use of accrued paid leave. See also Secs. 825.210(f), 825.216(d), 825.220(d), 825.307(a)(1) and 825.702(d) (1) and (2) regarding the relationship between workers'-compensation absences and FMLA leave. (e) Paid vacation or personal leave, including leave earned or accrued under plans allowing "paid time off," may be substituted, at either the employee's or the employer's option, for any qualified FMLA leave. No limitations may be placed by the employer on substitution of paid vacation or personal leave for these purposes.
(f) If neither the employee nor the employer elects to substitute paid leave for unpaid FMLA leave under the above conditions and circumstances, the employee will remain entitled to all the paid leave which is earned or accrued under the terms of the employer's plan.
(g) If an employee uses paid leave under circumstances which do not qualify as FMLA leave, the leave will not count against the 12 weeks of FMLA leave to which the employee is entitled. For example, paid sick leave used for a medical condition which is not a serious health condition does not count against the 12 weeks of FMLA leave entitlement.
(h) When an employee or employer elects to substitute paid leave (of any type) for unpaid FMLA leave under circumstances permitted by these regulations, and the employer's procedural requirements for taking that kind of leave are less stringent than the requirements of FMLA (e.g., notice or certification requirements), only the less-stringent requirements may be imposed. An employee who complies with an employer's less-stringent leave-plan requirements in such cases may not have leave for an FMLA purpose delayed or denied on the grounds that the employee has not complied with stricter requirements of FMLA. However, where accrued paid vacation or personal leave is substituted for unpaid FMLA leave for a serious health condition, an employee may be required to comply with any less-stringent medical-certification requirements of the employer's sick-leave program. See Secs. 825.302(g), 825.305(e) and 825.306(c).
(I) Section 7(o) of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) permits public employers under prescribed circumstances to substitute compensatory time off accrued at one and one-half hours for each overtime hour worked in lieu of paying cash to an employee when the employee works overtime hours as prescribed by the Act. There are limits to the amounts of hours of compensatory time an employee may accumulate, depending upon whether the employee works in fire protection or law enforcement (480 hours) or elsewhere for a public agency (240 hours). Compensatory time off is not a form of accrued paid leave that an employer may require the employee to substitute for unpaid FMLA leave. The employee may request to use his/her balance of compensatory time for an FMLA reason. If the employer permits the accrual to be used in compliance with regulations, 29 CFR 553.25, the absence which is paid from the employee's accrued compensatory-time "account" may not be counted against the employee's FMLA leave entitlement.


text: In March 1980, Francis Coppola, director of the Oscar-winning Godfathers and Apocalypse Now, bought a run-down movie production lot in Hollywood for $6.7 million and, in a town that thrives on loyalty to the industry, had the nerve to buck the system by letting directors, not studio execs, call the shots. The story of Coppola's frustrated objective ''a studio based on the repertory principle'' is the substance of Jon Lewis' informed, eminently readable survey of Coppola's turbulent career and its head-on collision with a rapidly changing Hollywood. In Whom God Wishes to Destroy... Francis Coppola and the New Hollywood, Lewis documents the influence of conglomerates in the movie business, and throws light on Coppola's ambitious plans to transform film technology. With wry wit and rigorous attention to detail, Lewis analyzes how Coppola's dream operated, how and why it never became reality, and how a celebrated director created a body of work as notable for its agonized genesis as for its creative substance.

"Year of the Golden Pig" helps boost gold demand to a record dollar level in Q1 2007
Chinese busy buying lucky balls helps boost gold demand in the first quarter.
Posted: Wednesday , 16 May 2007
It is well established in Chinese Astrology that the Golden Pig is one of the most auspicious years for wealth and marriage. The World Gold Council notes in its latest Gold Demand Trends publication that Chinese consumer demand for gold was up by 31% over the first quarter of 2006, as the Chinese "flocked to buy gold jewellery and commemorative "Lucky balls", especially around the Chinese New Year in mid-February. This contributed to a rise of 4% in identifiable demand in the first quarter of the year, to 831.7 tonnes after 797.8 tonnes in the first quarter of 2006.
Prices in the first quarter of this year were higher than in the first quarter of 2006, but also much less volatile and this encouraged physical demand, which grew in dollar terms by 22% over the equivalent quarter of 2006.
Jewellery demand grew in tonnage terms by 17% and reached 573 tonnes, equivalent to $12 billion, an increase of 38% over Q1 2006. Continued strong demand from electronics saw gold demand in that application hold steady at 112 tonnes, while increasing by 18% in dollar terms.
The investment story is not quite as robust, however, reflecting in part the heavy investment in ETFs in the first quarter of last year as they were still building up interest and are now moving more sedately. Within the investment sector, ETF purchases were down to 36.4 tonnes from 112.9 tonnes, while Official Coin purchases were steady. Bar hoarding increased from 43.5 tonnes to 61.2 tonnes, while medals and imitation coins rose from11.7 tonnes to 20.2 tonnes. This means that overall net retail investment fell from 199.1 tonnes in the first quarter of 2006 to 147.1 tonnes in the first quarter of this year.
Total supply edged down 2% against Q1 06 to 808 tonnes, 2% down on Q1 06. Mine production was up just one per cent at 580 tonnes. .Dehedging remained high at 129 tonnes after 143 tones in the first quarter of 2006. Looked at another way, mine supply (i.e. production less de-hedging) amounted to 451 tonnes against 430 tonnes in the first quarter of last year. Recycled scrap was 13% below the very high level of 303 tonnes in Q1 2006 at 262 tonnes. Net central bank sales were virtually unchanged at 95 tonnes.
In India, demand was much stronger in the first quarter of this year, up by 50% in tonnage and 75% in rupee terms, although the first quarter of 2006 saw very volatile prices that hit demand hard. Set against Q1 2005, the first quarter of 2007 was up by 6% in tonnage terms. Consumers seem to be influenced only to a limited extent by price levels as opposed to volatility. In rupee terms, spending has more than doubled since 2001. The second quarter is looking strong so far, especially following a successful Akshiya Thritiya festival this year.
In the US, offtake was down 5% in tonnage terms against the first quarter of 2006. Higher gold prices have filtered right to the end of the value chain now and this is deterring buyers at the low end of the market. Sales of medium and high quality pieces remain healthy, however. The recurring media discussions of gold and its price is also encouraging offtake. Inventories are being analysed closely because of higher prices with slow moving pieces being turned relatively swiftly and fresh pieces taken up.
The Chinese lucky balls are one to two grammes in weight, with local people buying several at a time and stringing on red thread to make a necklace or bracelet. The WGC emphasises that while the year of the Golden Pig has helped, the underlying market was already strong, noting that second half 2006 was much more vibrant than that of 2005.
Industrial usage (notably electronics and dental) accounted for 13% of total gold demanding the firs quarter, slightly more than retail investment. Gold is used as bonding wire connector in microchips and as a coating for connectors. With the dental market likely to decline the development of new industrial uses is important and the WGC is involved in a number of research projects looking to develop new uses.
Small particles does not necessarily mean small demand.
Nanotechnology is a key part of this work. Significant quantities of nanoparticles can be required in some technological uses (e.g. platinum group metals in the emission control sector, which accounts for more than 50%of both platinum and palladium demand). Gold is a candidate for use in this sector, which would improve cost effectiveness although there has until recently been problems with durability due to the high temperatures involved. Last month, however, a new product was announced by NanoStella that has overcome this problem and is claiming that the new product can either save costs, or, for the same precious metal costs, improve hydrocarbon oxidation by up to 15%. It is very early days, but it will be of interest to see how the automotive producers respond.
A particularly important potential new use is that of gold in cancer treatment. The first clinical trials of a gold nanotechnology-based anti-cancer drug started last year and the assessment of its effectiveness is imminent. Similarly there are ways of injecting nanoshells into a tumour in the body and then a heat treatment applied that destroys the tumour. Trials on mice are showing a 90% success rate and applications have now been submitted to allow trials on human beings.
While the tonnage may not be significant, the potential impact on human well-being is clear. It looks as if gold is not just for making you feel good by wearing it on the outside!

Utilizing years of valvetrain design experience, the latest FEA stress analysis technology, and an exhaustive testing regiment (dyno and Spintron), the COMP Cams engineering team left no detail to chance. Everything from casting techniques to valve spring clearance was scrutinized to ensure that the new Ultra Pro Magnum rocker arms not only lived up to the lofty standards of their predecessor, but also took stud mount rocker performance, stability, and value to a whole new level.
The most noticeable advancement with the COMP Cams Ultra Pro Magnum rocker arms centers around their nearly unbreakable investment cast 8650 chromoly body. The arched, web-like design delivers a nearly 29 percent increase in strength and rigidity, while reducing the moment of inertia and optimizing the dynamic balance. The resulting rockers maximize lift and valvetrain control at high rpm. The increased retainer and valve spring clearances of the new design enable the use of large-diameter valve springs, retainers, and locks, without clearance or fitment issues. The new black oxide exterior finish offers a distinctive appearance, along with long-term corrosion resistance. The COMP Cams Ultra Pro Magnum rocker arms feature an oversized trunnion and precision-sorted needle bearings designed for use with high-load valve springs. Additionally, these unique rockers also feature hardened roller tips for reduced friction and elimination of the valve stem "side loading" that causes premature valve guide wear. The COMP Cams Ultra Pro Magnum rocker arms feature a fully rebuildable design, which means that they very well may be the last rocker arms that you ever have to purchase.

Pop-folkie Jewel's finally gone country on her seventh album, Perfectly Clear, and it suits her: She's an earnest storyteller, and in the land of steel guitars (and co-producer John Rich), there's no shame in tracks titled ''Love Is a Garden'' and ''Thump, Thump,'' two sweet, sway-along tunes. And though self-help single ''Stronger Woman'' is unremarkable radio fare, Jewel does conjure a few special ballads. Her thick vibrato makes desperation palpable on the Patsy-would-be-proud weeper ''Anyone but You,'' and she actually yodels with soul on the soaring ''Loved by You (Cowboy Waltz).'' B+

Calculus obtained from spontaneous passage or surgical intervention
Commonly a series of spot tests are performed on pulverised, dissolved calculus. The mineral composition is then deduced from the relative amounts of each compound.
Calcium:spectrophotometry, atomic absorption spectrophotometry
Infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction provide more definitive identification.
Identification of risk factors for stone recurrence. May guide extracorporeal lithotripsy.
Stones containing calcium may indicate hypercalciuria.
Uric acid stones, or stones with a uric acid nidus, may indicate strongly acidic overnight urine or hyperuricosuria.
Oxalate stones may indicate hyperoxaluria. Magnesium ammonium phosphate ('triple phosphate') stones indicate bacterial infection.
Cystine stones indicate cystinuria.
Xanthine stones indicate xanthinuria or treatment with allopurinol.
Stones that do not dissolve in acid are usually factitious.

If, like me, you have not before made a trifle, you may think it must be a breeze. And in fact, if you already have the cake, the pastry cream, the sliced up fruit and fruit puree and the whipped cream, it is. If you have to make all of that from scratch, you may find yourself, like me, doing about 3 full loads of dishes and deciding to bring in dinner from the Indian place right up the hill. Now, of course, you can make all of this much easier on yourself by using store bought cake or not painstakingly crystalizing the flower garnish, but where's the fun in that? My inspiration for this in between season dessert comes from a somewhat unlikely place. My neighbor's lilac bush and a recent trip to Sooke Harbor on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. On the trip, we stayed at Sooke Harbor House, an inn and restaurant renowned for it's seasonal cuisine. Dishes are flavored with ingredients grown on their 2 acres of organic gardens, and herbs and edible flowers are an important part of every bite. When we returned from the trip, my neighbor was in the process of trimming back their lilac bush. There was lilac by the wheelbarrow, and the bush didn't even look like it had been touched. Each neighbor got a bouquet that was about 3 feet tall by 4 feet wide. With so much lilac (that wilts so quickly) and my imagination freshly sparked by Sooke, I started picturing some sort of fresh fruit and lilac cake, with little lilac blossoms covered in crystalized sugar. A quick flip through Prueitt and Robertson's Tartine, and I had my dessert in sites... a take on the Trifle of Summer Fruits.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - One of the more talked about ETF filings over the past month has been a corn-focused ETF proposed by Teucrium Trading, an investment firm based in Brattleboro, VT.
The Teucrium Corn Fund will trade under the symbol CORN and track the performance of corn prices using a unique weighting technique that utilizes CBOT futures contracts as well as swaps. 35% of the fund's basket will be invested in second-to-expire contract, 30% of the fund will be weighted in the third-to-expire contract and the remaining 35% of the fund will be in the Dec. contract that follows the expiration of the third-to-expire contract.
The fund is expected to have a 1% expense ratio.
CORN will provide U.S. investors with their first pure play opportunity on corn. In Europe, ETF Securities, the company responsible for the popular ETFS Physical Platinum Shares (PPLT) and the ETFS Physical Palladium Shares (PALL), has offered funds to fill this niche for years. Today, using this company's products, foreign investors can take long, short or leveraged bets on the performance of the crop.Prior to the introduction of CORN, U.S. investors looking for access to any single grain had been forced to settle for broader ETFs such as PowerShares DB Agriculture (DBA) or ETNs such as the iPath Dow Jones-UBS Grains Total Return Subindex ETN (JJG). DBA tracks an index of several agricultural products, with only 12.5% in corn; JJG tracks an equal weighted basket of corn, wheat and soybean futures contracts. While the corn fund will provide investors with what may be an interesting new investing opportunity, the timing of the fund could not be worse. Right now, with regulatory bodies taking aim at commodities ETFs and derivative-backed ETFs, CORN could face some formidable roadblocks before entering the market. Over the past month, I have been following the ongoing regulatory firestorm that has faced the ETF arena. Right now, both the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission have taken aim at certain aspects of the exchange-traded fund arena in hopes of reining in products they deem dangerous to the retail investor. In an effort to prevent futures-backed ETFs from becoming so large that they distort the market, the CFTC is mulling the possibility of employing stricter position limits on funds designed to track the performance of "finite" commodities.

Release Date: 07/27/2013 |
Album Rating: 4.0Fun album
Review also posted at http://www.thealtreview.net/album-reviews/alunageorge-body-music
really excited to hear this
I heard the single (title track I believe?) and was really into it
Digging: Viet Cong - Viet Cong
Album Rating: 4.0I don't think body music has been released as a single. I know 'You know you like it', 'Your Drums, Your Love', and 'Attracting Flies' have, so it might have been one of those
Album Rating: 3.0Good job in the main Tom, though overuse of "single" makes the second paragraph seem a bit clunky and repetitive to me. You also refer to Attracting Flies in essentially the same way in successive sentences ("succeeding single," "follow-up single") which seems a bit odd.
Album Rating: 4.0I won't lie, it was quite a quick write up so i may have missed a few errors! But thanks for the tip Ali
Album Rating: 3.1Nice work
Album is that strange combination of being surprisingly pleasant but also really kind of disappointing at the same time. It's breezy and sunny and forgettable in a summer kind of way, but given their early tracks I was hoping for something that wasn't so disposable
Digging: Theo Parrish - American Intelligence
I definitely enjoyed the singles "Your Drums, Your Love" and "Attracting Flies". Very good production on both tracks.
Album Rating: 3.3superstar is such a bad fucking song
Dem legs.
Album Rating: 4.0Thanks Dev
Album Rating: 4.0The songs released before the album came out were a lot better than most of the album, so I was a little disappointed, but this is still pretty good.
Album Rating: 3.5Your Drums, Your Love is one of my favorite songs this year
Album Rating: 3.5I found the latter half of the album (deluxe edition) a bit more difficult to enjoy but I can't get the first half out of my head ^^
Album Rating: 4.0i can def vibe with this
"You Know You Like It" is pretty fucking awesome.
Digging: Pet Shop Boys - Please
Album Rating: 3.5agree- a little disappointed after the first five tracks. Would have made a great EP.
Album Rating: 3.5so i am vibing the heck out of this at the moment.
Hungover, on couch with the cricket on watching the Poms getting smashed, eating chips and gravy and got this spinning... ah sunday's of summer.
Album Rating: 4.5such an amazing band

Allmightys at Holy.Shit.Shopping in Cologne
By: Allmightys Team
Holy.Shit.Shopping Vol.5 is the designers christmas fair for all who are on the lookout for design, art, culture and fashion and who want to evade the kitsch.
The idea is to get your christmas shopping done in a little bit different atmosphere- browse the stalls and the products while listening to the DJs and VJs with a drink in your hand.
It's like shopping in a club...
As an initiative to escape the pre-christmas shopping stress, the guys at Holy.Shit.Shopping developed this concept 5 years ago, as an alternative to squeezing yourself through crowded department stores and Christmas fairs. Always at a selected location with the ambiance of a club or a lounge, the customers browse the carefully selected vendors with ease and relaxation.
Back in 2004, the event drew 60 designers and 3000 visitors to the Berliner Cafe Moskau. This year, Holy.Shit.Shopping presents about 120 selected artists, designers and labels and offers a platform for all creatives to present themselves to a large audience.
Allmightys.com will take part at the Holy.Shit.Shopping event in Cologne this year. Dates are the 20th and 21st December at the RheinTriadem, Konrad-Adenauer-Ufer 1-3 in Cologne, in close proximity to the main station and the Dome.
Allmightys.com will be at booth 75, so come and find us there...!!

Guzan: Friedel was the ideal mentor
Aston Villa keeper Brad Guzan has hailed the "fantastic career" of his Tottenham counterpart Brad Friedel and says he was the "perfect mentor". Guzan played second fiddle during three years at Villa alongside Friedel, who will play his 321st consecutive Premier League game when the two clubs meet on Sunday at White Hart Lane. However, he feels he learnt so much off his fellow American, which he is now putting to good use as Villa's current number one after re-signing on a three-year deal in the summer. Guzan said: "Obviously we spent quite some time together here at Villa. What he is doing at his age is remarkable. "If you look at his performances he's been fantastic for Tottenham, making good saves, helping them pick up points along the way. "He keeps himself fit, helps the team get results and that's all you can ask for from a goalkeeper. "He's an extremely good professional when it comes to keeping himself fit and sharp and ready. For him age is just a number. You wouldn't be able to tell from his performances the age that he is. "I think his record of consecutive Premier League games speaks for itself. He's not missed for x amount of years now, and x amount of games. "That's testament to the way he is as a professional and keeping himself in good shape." Guzan acknowledges the help he received when understudy to Friedel. He said: "For me it was a matter of keeping myself fit and ready because, as a goalkeeper, you never know when you are going to get that chance. "At times it was frustrating but that's part of being a goalkeeper and part of being in that position. "But we had a really good working relationship. For me as a young goalkeeper coming to this country, working with a goalkeeper who has been in the game and in this country for so long, it really helped me. "He was the ideal mentor. He's going to be a mentor for anybody, the fact that he's a bit older than most, and the fact that he's in his 40's, he's done what he's done for so long. "He's been around the block. For me to be able to pick his brain it was good."

How to deal w/new step w/ my adult kids
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 04-15-2003 - 2:21pm
Any way, long story short, the boys ended up staying with their dad full time. I told them if they decided to stay at one home that would be their permanent home and no moving back and forth when they were mad at the other parent. This made them feel more stable having (1) place to call their home.
Well, their father just recently had his girlfriend move in (this lady & I were school mates, so I know her and trust her.) And also knowing her personality, as I expected she has taken control & flaunts every little thing she does in my face (in a nice way, of course HA!) She and my ex are the kind where they buy the best, do the best for the kids and of course the kids love it. Me, on the other hand live on a budget just like I always have - even while married to my ex. My kids grew up nicely dressed, well fed - but they weren't spoiled to where we would have to run to the mall every week (2 hours away) for everything they wore. They also were raised to where the needed extra cash, they earned it (chores, jobs when old enough, etc) the girls also paid for their own long distance calls, and auto insurance. A lesson well taught - they have even told me so. The boys on the other hand have not had to earn those type of things as the girls did when they were in the "family home". The boys have everything handed over to them from their dad and I see a rude awakening for them after they graduate and move on their own. Most of this was started by their father after we were divorced. He was buying their love and knowing I couldn't afford the same - did those things to make me look bad to them. It was working for awhile and as they have grown up, they pretty much understand now. Sometimes they still say – well dad gave me $200.00 at Xmas and I can only afford $50.00.
My second daughter & I were "best buds" - did everything together. I have 2 grandchildren (1 from each daughter) and have been there with them both in delivery. It was great! Their father was never around - just good old mom. Well, now this second daughter has her nose stuck up her new soon to be step mom's $($*(. She goes to their house almost every night, calls her, rarely stops by or calls me. She is now expecting her 2nd child and who do you think she has asked to go to doctor's appointments and also in the labor room with her this time??? Not me. I think about it & I cry - hurt.
My dad was in the hospital for 27 weeks last year. Along with other issues (his pending divorce, foreclosure, etc..) I had to deal with because I was his power of attorney. Anyway – I was busy – it took time away from doing my normal things (such as family). Anyway she is using that excuse – because I was/am too busy. And also the new one has convinced her of that. I have admitted to all of my children – those weeks were the most stressful time of my life – I wasn't giving enough time to even make calls to them like I did before – asked them to hang in there, it would all go back to normal for me & that I felt I was stretching myself sooo thin.
With this 2nd child, I admit I am not as excited. She is not married and the soon to be baby's father is ??. But, I just had a baby shower for her, making a quilt, looking forward to going into the delivery room again – getting mind set. Until last night, when I called her to see how things were going and if she was going to call me day or night like before? She told me the news. I was hurt.
Graduation around the corner - the new soon to be step mom - has taken over - ordering the graduation announcements, etc.... She is good about calling to leave messages, etc... and I do call her back and she always has those little rubs. Daily things mostly about the 18 years - things I wouldn't know because I am not in that household.
I just want us to all get along – I want the new one to be their friend and appreciate all she does for the boys on a daily basis. I just want the new one to remember that I am "the mom".
Any suggestions – all I read is about step moms and younger children. Thanks
|Tue, 04-15-2003 - 6:02pm
Please let us know what happens. We are for ya when you need us! I know it helps a lot to be able to talk these things out and get different views. Do you quilt often? I started just this past fall and am loving it, just everyone wants me to make them one too. Hang in there and please keep in touch. Until then~~~~Michelle
|Wed, 04-16-2003 - 8:43am
Let us know how it is going for you and the kids.

This was easy to install, it needs to either suggest ordering the gasket set at the time of purchase or come with the gasket set. They should also include the torque specs and order. The product itself was great!
This intake manifold was a must over the stock crappy one with the plastic coolant crossover. Perfect fit and easy install. Like always thanks cjponyparts for the fast shipping and great customer service support!
I bought this to replace the original one on my 2000 GT. They have improved the intake with aluminum coolant runner and thermostat housing where they use to crack and leak the most. However, mine broke where the heater hose attaches to the back of the intake. They did not change that and left it plastic. And its not a fitting, its molded into the intake, so if it ever breaks again I have to replace the entire intake AGAIN. Problem 2, no instructions with the intake, like torque specs and etc.

By Bill Tumas: We're here with a 4.6 liter two value intake manifold for your 1999 through 2004 Mustang from Ford Racing. This is the OEM manifold found on the 2001 through 2004 Mustang GT featuring the aluminum crossover. The '99 through 2000 models had a plastic crossover which is prone to cracking, meaning this is an excellent upgrade. It can also be used for all '96 through '98 Mustang GT's when upgrading to the PI heads. While this is a direct replacement for your '99 through 2004 Mustangs, it will require other parts to be purchased if you're using it to swap PI heads on a '96 through '98.

At the dance for two, Rebekah declared Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive" not as bad as the rest of the '80s songs she heard. (Rebekah didn't like the Cure?) Stefan, who'd fetched booze from the teacher's lounge, said it's the "godfather of rock anthems." DAMN STRAIGHT. Rebekah wanted to know why Stefan was so fun tonight, and he said it's because he can't listen to '80s music and not think of his best friend Lexi, who snuck them backstage once and compelled half a band to do tequila shots with them. Lexi was fearless, like Rebekah, he said. He didn't sleep with Lexi, he just felt like a better person with her. That's how he felt with Elena (only with the sex). He had the old sad Stefan look for a moment, and Rebekah said that look is the reason she doesn't allow herself to care. He said she's lying. A balloon randomly popped, and Stefan jumped. Rebekah assumed Stefan was afraid Kol had found them. She said she'd protect him and showed him that she had the dagger on her, in her boots. Stefan texted Matt to get there.
Elena, it turns out, had a plan. She was trying to lead Kol, a master at kicking doors, through to Jeremy's room, where Jeremy was waiting to fire slim stakes at him. Kol caught them, one in each hand, but that meant that Elena could deliver some wooden bullets to his chest while Jeremy ran. Kol threw a stake back at Elena and hit her in the leg. He caught up to Jeremy and tossed him down the stairs. He sent a piece of wood he tore from the railing through Elena's stomach and pinned her to the wall. Wait, he said he wanted to kill her. Just do it first. "Now, about that arm," Kol said. You know what, Kol, maybe rip it off right there. Don't drag him down the stairs, even though it looks cool for Jeremy to reach out and try to stop himself from being taken away.
Stefan's big plan to get the dagger away from Rebekah was to have her do "the Breakfast Club slide" in the hallway. He knew she'd have to take off her boots. Matt was waiting around the corner and watched as Rebekah took out the dagger and walked it over to Stefan. She knew that's what he wants. "You're right. I do care. I want stupid koala corsages and a prom. I want to have kids with someone who loves me enough to stand outside my window with a stupid boombox. I want to be human. So let Klaus put down my brother, and let's go find the cure," she said, with tears in her eyes. "Come on, let's go home," Stefan said. He couldn't do it. Matt almost looked relieved, right, that he didn't have to dagger her even though he probably wants to?
At Bonnie's house, Abby was mixing more drugs to keep Bonnie asleep until she could get witches there to erase her mind of whatever Shane had filled it with. Oops, Bonnie was up. She told Abby she doesn't belong to the spirits, she belongs to herself now and made her mother hurt. Bonnie bolted.
Because all bad things happen in the Gilbert kitchen, that's where Kol had taken Jeremy. He had Jeremy lying restrained on the island and was holding a cleaver. He was just gonna chop off both arms, to be safe, and then he'd heal Jeremy with his blood so he wouldn't die. Elena got there just in time to redirect the cleaver into Kol. She kept Kol busy while Jeremy popped up and, in a move that was both brilliant and f---ing hilarious, grabbed the faucet hose and fired a stream of vervain water at Kol.
Elena tossed Jeremy the stake, and he staked Kol. Kol burst into flames that apparently were a special kind of fire that couldn't spread to the floor he was writhing on. Klaus had shown up, just in time to see Kol ablaze. He had tears and anger in his eyes.
Elena tried to play it off like they had no choice, but Klaus knew they'd set a trap for Kol if he was even inside the house. He said he was going to set the house on fire and kill them when they fled. YES, THIS SHOULD BE YOUR PLAN. Jeremy said Klaus would never get the cure then for Elena to make more hybrids. Klaus let something slip: He didn't want the cure so he could make hybrids. He wanted it so he could destroy it. He was going to kill them all as soon as he found it. Before he could make good on his arson threat, Bonnie showed up. She crippled him, then told Jeremy to invite him in. Why? She put up some kind of shield to keep Klaus trapped there. Sure, why not. She can pretty much do anything she wants now.
Stefan again broke sad news to Rebekah, this time about Kol. She was hurt that Stefan knew about the plan, and he said he went along with it because Kol was never going to let them find the cure and he wouldn't let him hurt the people he cares about -- Jeremy, Elena, Damon, and her. He said he still wants them to find the cure together -- for Elena and her. She deserves a second chance, too, to be whatever she wants, he said. Why would Rebekah trust him? Stefan told her she was just going to have to take a leap of faith
and appear on the next season of The Bachelor as soon as she's human.
At Salvatore Mansion, everyone impatiently waited for Jeremy's mark to grow, Damon was reunited with Elena now that he's no longer compelled to kill Jeremy, and Stefan arrived home with Silas' headstone. So Rebekah is still Team Stefan. Bonnie said she drew on the new moon to bind the spell keeping Klaus hostage, so they had three or four days to find the cure. Elena assumed Rebekah was daggered so they just needed to get Professor Shane and they'd be set -- but Stefan said he didn't dagger Rebekah because she's on their side. How could he trust her? Damon was more than happy to tell Elena that Stefan had slept with Rebekah. Elena had nothing to say until the brothers started bickering, and then she told them to stop. "Why don't you tell her to calm down, Damon. You've managed to use that sire bond pretty well so far, haven't you?" Stefan said. BURN! Damon punched Stefan, and Stefan was about to return the favor when Jeremy screamed and RIPPED OPEN HIS SHIRT. I laughed for at least 20 seconds.
There was no way to make that not cheesy. But on the plus side, it was worth the wait. Lookin' good, son. Like Stephen Amell good. Pause as I think back to season 1, and the first time I did an IMDB age check on Steven R. McQueen. Memories.
The mark grew, and now they all could see it. "Here we go," Damon said.
Can't wait to see how they bust Professor Shane out of jail to go cure-hunting on an island off the coast of Nova Scotia. Theories?
Your turn. What did you think of the episode?

Winners Announced for Holiday Cards
: Cornish holiday card, designed by Julia Rorem (AR '17).
Happy Holidays From Cornish College of the Arts from Cornish College of the Arts on Vimeo.
: Video holiday card, designed by Katherine Jacomena McGuire and Katie Wheeler (both AR '16).
Earth stops its tilt, begins rocking back toward spring — that can only mean one thing: solstice … and holiday cards from Cornish by student designers.
Here in the northern half of the globe, it's midwinter— time for many to celebrate warmth, hope, light, friends and family. As the sun dips toward its southernmost point in the Seattle sky, artists at Cornish share greetings of goodwill and happiness through our new holiday cards.
Early in the semester, students entered their design ideas in competition for the first annual holiday card commission; a card that the Cornish community would send to colleagues and peers. The review panel received all kinds of holiday-spirited imagery, a mix of life portraits, ballet dancers, stags, ferns, poinsettias, and scarves; but first-year Art student Julia Rorem and Sophomore Design students Katie McGuire and Katie Wheeler won the commissions with the universally enjoyed themes of illuminating lights and the coziness of home.
Julia Rorem's painting of light strings on a tree in the snow will be Cornish's printed card this year (image above). Chosen for its beauty in the portrayal of light in the darkest time of the year, a central theme in winter holidays of many religions and cultures, the image does radiate a sense of calm and twinkling brightness. "My inspiration for the holiday card was just trying to display a sense of stillness and a quiet setting" says Rorem. "I tried to make the snow look slightly colorful as if there were […] lights all around, making the viewer seem at home and at ease. I wanted to purpose the painting around a sense of peace, and the warmth and snugness of [this] time," she says.
At Cornish, Rorem pursues her interest in visual art focused on humans and human interaction. "My favored medium is painting, but I also enjoy drawing, photography, and really all art relating to people". She calls Albuquerque, New Mexico home, where she'll be returning to celebrate Christmas. About her holiday plans, she says she's looking forward to spending time with her family, visiting her old church, and hanging out with her best friends, and is excited to return to Seattle in the spring. "I'm really adoring Cornish so far, and I feel very privileged to get to attend such a wonderful school! I am so excited to see what next semester has in store!"
In the video card (in the slide show above), colorful cookies magically mix themselves, spring out onto the pan, and dance across the frosting table all on their own. Families all over the world include sweets in their holiday traditions, inspiring Katie (Katherine Jacomena) McGuire and Katie Wheeler with their own nostalgic memories of making cookies as children. Their stop-motion video will reach hundreds of Cornish connections. McGuire remembers "the whole family around the table, frosting and sprinkles everywhere, the smell of sugar cookies mingling with the smell of fresh pine.[..] It was magical, and I wanted to try and share that with this card." Katie Wheeler also feels nostalgic about the video. "I really love stop motion animation," she said, reminiscing about her favorite animated classics like The Little Drummer Boy and Frosty the Snowman. "I also loved the idea of little cookies mischievously decorating themselves."
McGuire and Wheeler both study illustration in the Design department. While Wheeler focuses on cartooning, comics and, impressively, graphic novels, McGuire now uses media she never knew she could. "The great thing about Cornish is they make you do all kinds of things!" says McGuire. "I never thought I'd know anything about typography or movie making (I got into the school for fine art) but all that has changed radically and I'm loving it."
McGuire and Wheeler, like many students, have been wrapped up in a whirlwind of projects and practices right up to the last day of the semester. For Wheeler, it's a new direction. "I have a degree in children's theater from Central Washington University", she says. "After spending a year or two out of school, I realized that all I wanted to do was make art and I needed to go back to school to get the education I needed for that." McGuire says she constantly feels challenged in a way that's fun and exciting. "There's no shortage of work, so there's no time for homesickness." She is going to enjoy a much-deserved break, though. "I'm from Santa Cruz California, but I've been visiting family up here since before I was born. I'll be spending the holidays with my family back in Santa Cruz, I miss them so much—I can't wait to see them all again!" Wheeler will be right here at home, "celebrating the holidays in Capitol Hill with my corgi and a big glass of cider."
As she thinks about the holidays, McGuire shows her appreciation for the College: "I really love being at Cornish…my teachers and the staff have been so amazing and insightful, I'm so thankful for all they've taught me."
As Cornish's cards say, here's "Wishing you a holiday season full of creativity and joy!"

Zippy is to Bill Griffith what Charlie Brown was to the late Charles M. Schulz. These characters are not quite alter egos of the two prolific cartoonists but they are, and forever will be, linked to them. One might even consider Zippy the underground comix version of Charlie Brown: a good-natured, well-meaning man-child who's fated to wander among the flotsam of modern life, perpetually misunderstood and perpetually misunderstanding.
Griffith, who lives in East Haddam with his wife Diane Noomin — who is herself a brilliant cartoonist — was there at the beginning of the underground comix revolution of the 1960s (so was Noomin). He was lucky and talented enough to find a character in Zippy on which to hang his own wonderfully warped notions of American culture. His Zippy comic strip has been in national syndication as a weekly since 1976, and as a daily since 1985. Griffith's productivity is nothing short of astonishing, not just as a cartoonist but also as a writer. Hard on the heels of his massive Bill Griffith: Lost and Found 1969-2003 (Fantagraphics, 2012) comes a new volume of collected Zippy strips, The Dingburg Diaries.
I caught up with Griffith and, in addition to shedding light on the timeless appeal of his giant cone-headed, muumuu-clad circus clown hero, Griffith revealed an extraordinary family secret and a work in progress that promises to shake, rattle and roll the publishing world when it is released next year.
AB: Zippy requires highly-tuned drawing and writing skills from you; in fact, I see you as one of the most literary of cartoonists around (which is no slight intended on your prodigious graphic talents). Do you see the strip as both an artistic vehicle and a literary work, or is that too high-falutin a way to look at it?
BG: I started out, after art school in New York, with the intention of becoming a "fine artist" — a painter. I think that intention of "making art" has never left me. It doesn't feel fundamentally different to me whether a stretched canvas or a sheet of 2-ply Bristol is before me. I bring everything to the task at hand — I never think of comics as a limiting art form. When I create a comic strip, it's the result of all I've learned about drawing from observation, both of comic art and "fine" art. The writing part is a little more mysterious. I only know it comes naturally, as long as I listen to my "little man." I love reading comics and I love going to art museums.
AB: How many Zippy titles have you published in book form? How many strips have you done? Does even thinking about this in such quantitative ways give you a headache?
BG: Something like 26 paperbacks of my comics are out there, as well as dozens of comic books. As far as the daily Zippy goes (from 1986 to now and, before then, as a weekly), I've done about 8,675 one-row strips. Of course, there are also full pages and long stories as well. I think I'd get a headache if I stopped...
AB: What are some of the themes and story lines in The Dingburg Diaries? Do you ever try to parallel the insanity of current events, per se, or do you leave that up to other cartoonists, like Tom Tomorrow and Ruben Bolling?
BG: This is the third Zippy book featuring tales of "Dingburg, the City Inhabited Entirely by Pinheads" — Zippy's home town. There's even a long series of "Historical Dingburg" strips, chronicling the pinhead population through the years, from 1840, when Dingburg's "Town Fool" accidentally invented disco, to 1958 when Dingburg Beatniks flourished in the town's Bohemian neighborhood. Like,
God also has his own chapter (and verse). In the guise of a clip art "authority figure," he dispenses unwanted advice and conditional love upon the citizens of Dingburg. His tendency to cross-dress reaches new heights when he appears in a performance of "Swine Lake," wearing a tutu. Sacriligious, yet sensitive.
There are large chunks of Mr. The Toad, Zerbina, Little Zippy and the rest of my cast of characters. There are parodies of the paintings of Edward Hopper, Film Noir and there's "Griffy's Top Ten List On Comics and Their Creation," a semi-serious mini-tutorial on everything (well, ten things) I've learned in over forty years at the drawing board.
AB: Have you ever thought about farming Zippy out to some young whippersnappers and moving to France like Robert Crumb? Or collaborating with your wife on a joint project, ala Aline and Robert Crumb?
BG: No chance of turning Zippy over to anyone, young or old. When I go, the strip goes. I'm a one-man band, for better or worse. My wife, Diane Noomin, came out with a wonderful collection of just about all her work last year — it's called "Glitz-2-Go," from Fantagraphics. As for any collaboration between us, who knows? We have done a few short things together in the past. It could happen again — maybe when I retire Zippy, although I can't see doing that any time soon.
AB: Speaking of Crumb, he published an illustrated version of the Book of Genesis that was as unexpected as it was brilliant. Have you ever been approached for any large un-Zippy project?
BG: I'm doing a long, non-Zippy book right now (see below).
AB: Does creating a daily comic strip allow you any time for other projects?
BG: For many years, I thought that doing a strip every day, 365 days a year, and doing the occasional page or illustration here or there and putting together a book once a year (I design all of my books, cover to cover) was all I could possibly handle. I now realize that isn't true. I'm still doing the daily Zippy, but I'm also 57 pages into a long graphic memoir — and I'm teaching comics one day a week at the School of Visual Arts in New York. Even though I put more drawing into my strip than I used to, it's actually gotten easier to do. There used to be a little resistance before I sat down to the drawing table. Now I'm "in the zone" almost immediately and things flow easier. Ideas pop into my head pretty effortlessly. I guess all that mileage I've put in, instead of burning me out, has made the process smoother and more enjoyable. For that, I'm grateful every day.
AB: About that "non-Zippy" memoir you have in the works: You have often been autobiographical in your strips, touching on your Long Island roots and the move to San Francisco. Will this give us the full monty of Bill Griffith? Will people's feelings be hurt, bodies exhumed, etc.? Will Madonna or Lady Gaga be in it?
BG: The graphic memoir I'm working on is titled "Invisible Ink" and will be published by Fantagraphics, sometime in 2014 or 2015, depending on how long it takes for me to finish. The sub-title is: "My Mother's Secret Love Affair With a Famous Cartoonist!" The affair, which my mother confessed to me very briefly when my father died in 1972 without giving any details, is the centerpiece of the book, but it also includes extensive sections on the rest of my family, especially my father and also my great-grandfather, William Henry Jackson, the well-known photographer of the "Old West." The "famous cartoonist" in question shall remain nameless until publication, but he had his hand in every form of cartooning over a long career, from 1929 to the late 1970s. It requires a lot of research on my part, since I want to keep it as close to the truth as I can. Both my mother and the cartoonist are no longer alive. I wouldn't have taken this on otherwise.
Yes, this will be the "full monty", at least of my mother, and, to a lesser extent, of me. The man she loved, after all, was a sort of "shadow father" to me as I was growing up. And, since the affair lasted sixteen years, its effects touched me and my family — and had a hand in who I became — in many ways, hidden and overt. 'Nuff said.

Press Release
State Lands Division Announces Two Days of Free Public Fishing at State Cattle Ranch
April 29, 2010
The Forever Wild State Cattle Ranch Field Trial Area near Greensboro in Hale County will host two days of free fishing on Saturday May 8, and Saturday June 12, 2010. The State Lands Division will open four catfish ponds to public fishing on those days, which can be accessed from County Road 35 west of Highway 69 off County Road 16; south of Greensboro, north of Highway 80, and east of Uniontown. Fishing will begin at 6 a.m. and the gate will be closed at 3 p.m. A valid state fishing license is required for Alabama residents ages 16-64, and for non-residents ages 16 and up.
The Forever Wild State Cattle Ranch Field Trial Area is a 4,328-acre nature preserve and recreation area formerly owned by the Alabama Department of Corrections. The Forever Wild Land Trust purchased the ranch in 2008 and since then has been restoring the pasture with native grasses and offering some of the ponds for public fishing. Recently the State Cattle Ranch was opened to organized field trials for retriever and pointing dogs.
The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources promotes wise stewardship, management and enjoyment of Alabama's natural resources through five divisions: Marine Police, Marine Resources, State Lands, State Parks, and Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries.
