In today's episode of Guess Who's Running For Re-Election?, the administration throws beneath a bus the 51 percent of the population that would like to control its own damn reproductive systems without having to ask permission of The Voice of Rick Santorum's Penis.
This is all on Sebelius and on the president for whom she works because she overruled her own panel of experts, which those of us who know a little of the history of Holy Mother Church in this area know is never a good idea. In 1968, Pope Paul VI was handed a report from his Pontifical Commission on Birth Control that explained, in detail, why HMC should change its position on artificial birth control. The pope threw out his commission's recommendations and issued Humanae Vitae, an encyclical that banned all artificial birth control and, as an added bonus, pretty much guaranteed that millions of American Catholics would never listen seriously to what any pope said about anything, but especially about what they did during sexy time. The subsequent revelation hat HMC had been functioning as an international conspiracy to obstruct justice in regards to what its clergy were doing during sexy-time also did not help.
Stupid, Kathleen. And pointless. They're going to hate you anyway.

An Appreciation
When I was asked for a commentary on Roger as a teacher, my first thought was: "Okay, was I any more perceptive than any of the multitudes that had the pleasure of being in a Crossgrove painting class?" Clearly, no. But I do have an additional perspective.
Roger made sure that we all were grounded in the technical aspects of paint. He led all of us (sometimes kicking and screaming--silently) through an impressive variety of problems. There were still-life exercises in light/shadow, color, transparency/ reflection/opacity (who can forget the set-up with a broken loaf of crusty bread and a wine glass full of red wine on a shining slab of marble?). This one is especially memorable for those of us who thought we could sneak a quick swallow. That's when we found out Roger had been pouring the wine back into the bottles at the end of each class for years.
Roger had us paint in a variety of genre, from still life to the model and from trompe l'oeil to Cubism. We knew Roger as a firm but friendly instructor with a ready laugh and a dry sense of humor, but it wasn't until five or six years later that I really understood what a unique teacher he was.
After I joined the Pratt faculty, Roger and I co-taught the painting class for years. The Roger that none of us had fully appreciated came in to the classroom on Sunday afternoons in order to set up elaborate environments for the models. He would get up several hours before dawn to go into Manhattan to the Fulton Fish Market where he would select baskets of fish, one at a time, for their color, or to the flower markets for his painting set-ups.
In my 37 years at Pratt, I never met another teacher who invested so much of his own time for those students who were lucky enough to be assigned to his classes. And, I never once heard him complain about those hours taken out of his own studio time in order to prepare for a class. In a real sense we also were his paintings.
After all these years I still find myself using Roger as a model, and that probably says it all.

With over 75 hours of material 'in the can', two independent Canadian documentary-makers are firing up an online crowd-funding platform to complete their look at Canada's War on Terror.
Produced and directed by Amar Wala, and produced by Noah Bingham, The Secret Trial 5 is aiming to raise $15,000 in production funds over the next 35 days. The filmmakers offer supporters unique behind-the-scenes looks at the doc, and they are offering supporters special incentives in exchange for financial pledges.
Through the Hot Docs Doc Ignite crowd-funding service, anyone interested in supporting The Secret Trial 5 can learn about the project and follow its progress through frequent blog and streaming video posts. Followers can also pledge support in exchange for incentives that range from creative input for the film's promotional materials to tickets to its Toronto premiere.
At work for more than three years on the subject, the filmmakers need additional funds to cover post-production, archival sourcing, and on-going documentation of the story and those involved.
The Secret Trial 5 looks at five families whose lives have been transformed by Canada's use of security certificates, producers describe, which allows the government to indefinitely detain individuals without charge, as well as permits secret evidence, that neither the accused nor their lawyers can access. Over the last decade, five men have been held under these security certificates, and each has spent between two and seven years in prison. To date, none have been charged with a crime.
"Doc Ignite chose The Secret Trial 5 because we believe in the filmmaking team, and we are impressed with the progress and impact they have already made with their project," said Elizabeth Radshaw, industry programs director for Hot Docs. "We feel the story of The Secret Trial 5 is one that all Canadians should hear."
Pledges can be made online through Doc Ignite. Social media networks are also being used to promote awareness of the film and the funding project.
Doc Ignite was made possible by the support of the Ontario Media Development Corporation, Telefilm Canada, the City of Toronto, and the Toronto Community Foundation. It also receives funding support from Open Roof Films, and the Open Roof Film Festival
Hot Docs, North America's largest documentary festival, industry conference and media market, will present its 20th annual edition from April 25 – May 5, 2013.

Parker Formalizes Collaboration Agreement With Shepherd Center For The Commercialization Of Indego™
CLEVELAND, Feb. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Parker Hannifin Corporation (NYSE: PH), the global leader in motion and control technologies, today announced that it has formalized an agreement with Shepherd Center to support the commercialization of Parker's exoskeleton device Indego ™, which is planned for release in 2014. Shepherd Center, based in Atlanta, Ga., is one of the leading hospitals in the United States for medical treatment, research and rehabilitation for people with spinal cord injury or brain injury.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130211/CL57004-a )
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130211/CL57004LOGO-b )(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/19990816/PHLOGO ) Under the general terms of the agreement, Shepherd Center will function as the lead rehabilitation center for clinical testing of the device. Shepherd Center will develop clinical protocols for use of the device, train clinicians at other rehabilitation centers where the device will be used, and monitor clinical trials. Also, the agreement includes collaboration between Parker and Shepherd Center to market the device subsequent to regulatory approval. "Shepherd Center has a world-class reputation in the field of rehabilitation and we are proud they have chosen to support us in the commercialization of Indego," said Craig Maxwell, Vice President of Technology and Innovation for Parker. "Shepherd Center is the only rehabilitation facility to have tested Indego and the two other devices currently being marketed by other companies as exoskeletons." "We see distinct advantages in Indego, including its lightweight and modular design that promotes independence," said Gary R. Ulicny, Ph.D, President and CEO of Shepherd Center. "From a rehabilitation perspective, we applaud Indego's ability to vary the degree of robotic assistance and the use of electrical stimulation based on the user's level of function." Indego is not yet for sale but is being tested and refined through clinical research at Shepherd Center. Patient and clinician feedback on the device has been overwhelmingly positive, and the Center has concluded that Indego has the most promise as a device for both rehabilitation and home use.

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Returns $4.6 Billion to Consumers in 4 years
(NNPA) – In recent days, many policymakers and analysts have noted the July 21 anniversary of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). It marked the anniversary of President Obama signing the historic Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act into law. The cornerstone of the law's reform was the creation of a new bureau dedicated solely to ensuring that when it came to financial services, consumers would have a cop-on-the-beat, fighting for and ensuring transparency and fairness.
Changes to PLUS Loans May Help Blacks
WASHINGTON (NNPA) – This fall, the Department of Education plans to announce changes to PLUS loans that officials say will make it easier for parents to qualify for the financial aid program that thousands of Black college students rely on every semester. In an effort to combat a rising number of parent loan defaults in 2011, the department began to enforce more strict borrowing guidelines, a move that disproportionately affected Black parents, especially ones that lost homes and jobs and were burdened by high levels of debt incurred during the Great Recession.
Voter Suppression: The Countdown to Showdown
Educate, Organize and Mobilize: It's a little more than a year since the US Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the countdown to the November General Election is underway. As of August 8, 2014 there were 86 days left before the elections and voters are being mobilized. I continue to wonder, as I look for signs, whether Black Voters will respond to the most dangerous threat to our Civil Rights in 50 years. I have to wonder because if the response is there I don't see it. And, if I don't see it I doubt very seriously if it is adequate.

The Complete Dracula
by Leah Moore
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
While this graphic novel provides a great overview and faithful adaptation of Stoker's somewhat tedious novel, it fails to evoke the same terror and chilling Gothic atmosphere that the novel does. I was most disappointed how short the Transylvanian section at the beginning was, as this is my favorite section of the novel (Harker's journey through the Carpathians to Dracula's castle and his stay at the castle).
I love the artwork on each comic cover issue but the artwork for the story itself was hit or miss...many times inconsistent and distracting. Despite that, it is still worth reading and having in any Dracula collection.
A true to the novel graphic adaptation.. but the graphics were disappointing...

Into the Wild
|In April 1992 a young man from a well-to-do family hitchhiked to Alaska and walked alone into the wilderness north of Mt. McKinley. His name was Christopher Johnson McCandless. He had given $25,000 in savings to charity, abandoned his car and most of his possessions, burned all the cash in his wallet, and invented a new life for himself. Four months later, his decomposed body was found by a moose hunter. How McCandless came to die is the unforgettable story of Into the Wild.

Girls Basketball: Courtney Hinsberger a welcome addition to Hillcrest coaching staff
By Tony Baranek firstname.lastname@example.com December 24, 2013 4:54PM
Hillcrest girls basketball coach John Maniatis (left) and assistant Courtney Hinsberger. | Tony Baranek/Sun-Times Media
Updated: January 26, 2014 6:20AM
On a December night in 2003, just before Christmas, Oak Forest's Courtney Hinsberger recorded probably the most important assist of her high school career when she threw a fourth-quarter pass that teammate Kathleen Dewan converted into a basket.
It gave the Bengals a lead over Hillcrest they wouldn't relinquish. The Bengals' 56-47 victory snapped Hillcrest's winning streak in the SICA Central at 83 straight.
Beating an opponent never felt so good.
"It was an intense rivalry between us and Hillcrest," Hinsberger said. "I don't think it was so much that we didn't like them, but because it was such a good competition and so competitive every time we played them. There was an adrenaline that always got us going."
Some of it was provided by Hawks coach John Maniatis, who was anything but invisible when it came to directing his players during games.
"He was so intense when we played (during the games)," Hinsberger said. "He'd get into your head when you were on the court. But I still remember that he would always compliment me after we played. He was like, 'No. 24, good game. Nice game.' "
No one would have predicted then Hinsberger would become a varsity assistant for the Bengals' No. 1 rival.
"If you told me that seven years ago I would be working at Hillcrest and coaching next to John Maniatis I'd say you were (crazy)," Hinsberger said with a laugh. "But it's honestly been a great experience for me.
"There have been nothing but positive things. I've learned so much from him, and he's been so welcoming in taking me in, even though I'm a Bengal."
Hinsberger joined the teaching staff at Hillcrest in 2011 as a special education teacher. For one season she was a volunteer assistant before being installed as the No. 1 varsity assistant when Rachel Gromala left the position to take a teaching and coaching job in Texas.
The transition was a smooth one, according to Maniatis.
"I think she can definitely appreciate the rivalry from a whole different perspective," he said. "Coming from the Oak Forest community and being a player in that community ... she gives us a chance to see a little different perspective from where she was at for us.
"The intangibles she brings as an athlete, as a competitor, are things that enhance our coaching staff. And she's a fun person. She's a great young woman, an ambitious young woman who is going to make a very successful head coach down the road."
Player of the Week
Ashton Millender, of Marian Catholic, is the SouthtownStar Girls Basketball Player of the Week.
Millender, a senior guard, earned Most Valuable Player honors in leading the Spartans to the title at the Oswego Hoops of the Troops Classic. In a 64-45 victory over Batavia, Millender scored 22 points.

EUR-USD traded a narrow range on either side of a 1.2450 fulcrum in early trade, though began to tick higher as equities and oil prices rebounded. The pairing later slipped to session lows of 1.2387, the move apparently driven by comments from the ECB's Coeure, who said diverging monetary policies should weaken the euro, adding that the consensus on the ECB council is that more stimulus is needed.

Do you want peace of mind when it comes to your child care needs?
About Me:
My name is Carrie Roebuck and I've been doing day care since 1992. I am licensed to operate in my home. I started out after my second child (Toni) was born. It started out as a benefit to friends and neighbors as I stayed home and watched their children along with my own. Since watching babies and young children was my passion, I decided to make it a career.
Those are only some of the things that I offer for the kids. One thing that I strive to provide is an environment that I would like my own children to be in, if I couldn't be home with them. I treat each one of the kids as if they were my own with love, hugs and kisses. If you are a parent looking for Day Care in the Utica, Illinois area, this is the place for you.

What does 100% compatible mean? Can I use my existing packaged Java applications and simply give them a new file system location or do I have to change my application dependencies to use a MapR JAR? Per your other answers, it seems like the latter. If so, is the required JAR in a maven repo?
Answer by Aaron · Jul 05, 2011 at 08:53 AM
Hello Jacques,
MapR supports the full API specified in the Apache Hadoop 0.20.2. This means you do not need to recompile your existing applications that leverage Hadoop 0.20.2. The API calls themselves are identical.
However, the actual work thats done when those API calls are issued is different. You must load the MapR Hadoop jar in your application instead of loading the Apache or Cloudera Hadoop jars for instance.
In addition, whereas with Apache and Cloudera hadoop, you would specify something like: hdfs://namenode:8020
On MapR, you should refer to the MapR cluster as: maprfs:///
OR as maprfs:///mapr/
When you refer to the MapR system using the maprfs:/// URI, it invokes our file system protocol and when you launch your application, as long as they load in our Hadoop library then the special URI will work just fine and you will be able to interact with the MapR cluster using the same API calls as with Apache/Cloudera Hadoop.
Regarding how to get the MapR Hadoop library, you will find our jars under /opt/mapr/hadoop/hadoop-0.20.2/lib
You can get those installed on a client machine through either our "mapr-client" or "mapr-core" packages. You can install either on your client machine and it will get the MapR libraries as well as the "hadoop" command and basic configurations.
Please let me know if that answers your questions.
Is the MapR jar self sufficient or does it also need native support?
you also need native support. BTW - if you plan to use hadoop jars that are not part of MapR distribution and just mapr jar and it's maprclient*.so you are unlikely to run successfully. I would highly recommend to submit job on the machine that has mapr-client ir mapr-core (tasktracker role) installed on.
Answer by yufeldman · Jul 05, 2011 at 08:55 AM
I would recommend you install mapr-client on the node from where you are trying to submit your job (or you can do it on any node where mapr-tasktracker is installed) and just submit job there in regular fashion (.../bin/hadoop jar ) Here is a link to documentation regarding mapr-client installation and configuration: http://mapr.com/doc/display/MapR/Setting+Up+the+Client This way everything is preconfigured and your job should just run (unless for some reason you create jar-with-dependencies and it includes hadoop* jars from standard distribution). Also please let us know if you are talking about running pig and/or hive jobs
Answer by jimmy888 · Jul 21, 2011 at 04:59 PM
Does anybody know where is the maven repository for the mapr jar files ? It would be nice if mapr can publish their custom jar file in the central maven repository http://mvnrepository.com/ so that everybody can share that. Otherwise, every developer of mapr distribution has to set up his own private maven repository.
Can you post this as a separate question? If so, I can answer it.

sierraswindlerThis is something
that could change the fucken woyld. Let us pray. 8 years ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.
- The Robots.

can i get an amen? the folks at showtime are cracking me up with how horrible their "breakthrough" show the l-word is. since the writers brilliantly introduced us to the little-known disease called breast cancer that turned the tennis player into a conehead and killed her within 3 weeks, they might as well make it contagious and let the rest of the cast die off, starting with that manny guy. yeah, i think that would be an improvement.
anyway, i'm open to ideas. 8 years ago

About 60 people showed up Monday at Hinsdale Middle School for an open house that offered a look around the building the night before classes were to resume.
HMS students missed school Jan. 17, 21 and 22 because of mold issues in the building. As cleanup work was being completed, students began a split day schedule Jan. 23 at Clarendon Hills Middle School.
The split day schedule, which wrapped up Monday, had CHMS students attend in the morning and HMS students in the afternoon.
Hinsdale-Clarendon Hills Elementary District 181 Superintendent Renee Schuster said Monday that HMS had been cleared for students and staff to return following a fire inspection along with inspections by the Regional Office of Education and architects from Healy, Bender & Associates.
Additionally, reports from Integrity Environmental Services on sampling of both air and surfaces conducted Jan. 31, Feb. 1, and Feb. 3 indicated the school is safe for occupancy, Schuster said.
Most of those attending Monday's open house were parents, though several students came along.
"I really wanted to see how it looks, and I'm glad to be back," said Gillian Norton, an sixth-grader. "I felt sad not being here. It's basically my home."
Sixth-grader Julia Hanley, who came to the open house with her mother, Kathy Hanley, also was happy about returning to her school.
"I liked sleeping in, but I didn't like not getting out until 4:30," she said. "I think (HMS) looks better now."
Additional work at HMS is scheduled for the near future, as more baseboards need to be replaced, and additional painting must be completed. That work will be done in the evenings and on weekends.
"I'm glad it's getting back to normal," Kathy Hanley said. "I think it's important that people feel comfortable coming back in here. I'm not concerned about my daughter coming back now. I'm more concerned about long-term monitoring to make sure there's no more mold in the future."
Schuster said the district's Facilities Committee would be considering a long-term plan for HMS, including a recommended new roof.
Mazin Abughazalah attended the open house with twin daughters, Carma and Reem, both sixth-graders.
"I wanted to make sure they're comfortable coming back," Abughazalah said. "I think it's a good lesson for the kids in transparency, too."
Both Carma and Reem said they were happy about returning.
"I've missed advisory the most because I haven't seen a lot of my friends while we've been at CHMS," Reem said.
HMS Principal Ruben Pena also said he was happy about returning to his own building, although the split days at CHMS worked out well.
"Our kids came in and went right to work there," he said. "Overall, I think things went as well as could be expected."

14 year old daughter, ADD inattentive
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 02-26-2013 - 3:45pm
We are just beginning the process of having our 14 year old daughter tested, and are pretty sure after discussions with our doctor and psychologist that she is inattentive ADD. She has a very high IQ and has managed to get through school with flying colors until beginning a greatly accelerated academic program her freshman year. It has been extremely difficult, and I would really appreciate talking here with anyone who has been through something similar.
|Fri, 03-01-2013 - 12:34pm
The eyeglasses are a great analogy! DS already takes medication every day for hemiplegic migraines, so if it turns out he needs it, this will just be another pill, no big deal.
He finished his assessment this week, and DH & I are going to debrief with the doctor next week.
One thing I want to caution the OP about: our neurologist was loath to prescribe anything without a full evaluation. We did a Connors assessment - that was feedback from DS, DH & me, and his teaching team - but the neurologist didn't want to start prescribing ADD meds without exploring whether there might be learning disabilities or something else that might look like ADD but not be ADD. It cost an arm and a leg (fortunately, we had a couple limbs to spare ;)) but I am happy we have gone through with the whole evaluation.
|Fri, 03-01-2013 - 8:55pm
My daughters are now ADDults. Since emotional and mental issues do not just "run" in our families, they GALLOP, I knew from the start that they weren't the average bears. I was doing home made behavior charts when they were 6, because they literally could NOT remember instructions, or consequenses, for more than 5 minutes. They could lose their gym suit, left shoe, lunch, homework, clarinet, schoolbooks, coat and glasses between the front door and the driveway. If I put a bag of garbage in one hand, and their lunchbag in the other, guess what ended up in the fridge, and the trashcan. Grammar and middle schools had me on speed dial.
However, their intelligence, and personality, pulled them thru school--just as it does with a LOT of ADDers. Untill the combo of hormones, extra curriculars, increased complexity, and increased personal responsibility pushed them to the point where they could not put ONE more drop in the bucket, without something falling out the other side.
My older dd went into 9th grade with honors classes. By the end of the 1st semester, she was failing EVERYTHING, EXCEPT A's in Band and Gym. I could see the handwriting on the wall with the younger dd, who was in 6th grade, and whose papers came home unreadable and unintelligible, but with all A's!!! Her teachers said, "She TELLS us all the answers, she's VERY articulate and intelligent, we think the rest will catch up..." So I had both kids evaluated by a pediatrician who had a speciality in ADD, they were diagnosed ADD, and we began Ritalin and counseling. My older dd, who was 15, responded immediatly, and told us "If you KNEW there was something out there, that MIGHT have helped me, why did you make me suffer for so long???"
Over the next couple years, we went thru several providers, because ADD never flies alone, and as things cropped up, we found we NEEDED a specialist. We needed a specialist for diagnosis, and we needed a specialist for treatment. I mean honestly, if your child had a heart condition, would you want a pediatrician managing her, or a cardiac specialist? We went with a psychaitrist, and finally found one we ALL could relate to, because family counseling is essential to the success of the children. Also, a psychiatrist is the best choice for managing psychoactive drugs. Our diagnoses were ADD/Executive Dysfunction/Oppositional Defiant Disorder/Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. PMS complicated things for younger, and depression crept in for older.
Three YEARS into the process, we found that our younger dd had a visual processing disorder. We'd taken her to Huntington Learning for an evaluation, because altho she (also) had gone into 9th grade in Honors classes, she was flunking at midterm, and STILL could not spell, do math, or write an intelligible paper--consistantly. (Altho it is a joke among ADDers, that they do something RIGHT, and you hold it against them for the rest of their lives.) LD's hadn't even crossed out minds, since we thought we had the ADD thing all handled. So be sure to sk for a complete LD evaluation, as well.
Do NOT be afraid of medication. If your child was diabetic, would you avoid insulin and try to make her manage her condition with diet? My older dd is going to be 32, and has been on methylphenidate since she was 15. She's used Concerta since it was invented. She is a successfull HS teacher, and the Head of the Fine Arts Dept.
My younger dd went on meds when she was 12, and then on and off from 18 till she went off for good at 22. She was always more ODD than ADD, never liked the way the meds made her feel, and did better with counseling. She's 29, and has her ups & downs. We suspect she's actually BiPolar, but her counseling has made her more amenable to suggestion, and she manages. She's an executive admin asst/legal secretary, divorced, self supporting, owns her own home, and has a year old daughter. Whose BOTH parents are probably BiPolar, and believe me, the Anti-Christ is alive and well in her. At least we are prepared.
I firmly believe there is no such thing as "...they SHOULD be able to do XYZ by THEMSELVES...". If they demonstrably CANNOT, why would I sit there and "allow them to suffer", as long we don't get used, or used up? Back off the academic pressure. She doesn't NEED to be in 20 AP classes. She is not "wasting" herself if she doesn't get into Harvard. I PURPOSELY never mention my kids', or my, IQ, even tho they are higher than the average bear. IQ has NOTHING to do with happiness in life. As long as she is able to learn a career, and be self supporting, even if she asks you EVERY MONTH to pick up her prescriptions, or remind her to change her oil, she'll do fine.

Dear Geve,
Me again.
Hubby's brother had a son on Ritalin back in his childhood and early teens, so I called up my SIL and asked what she knows, etcetera. She recommended I call one of hubby's cousins who had a boy and a girl with some of these problems that require medicine. Her story is much like Sabrtooth's. The cousin's daughter is 29 and still on the medicines, son is 27 and has been off for seven plus years. She said that she thinks females may have it rougher because of hormonal issues that come with the female physiology in general. That is just one parent's observation of her two kids, NOT a medical judgment.
Much like Sabrtooth, this cousin said you have to do lots of testing of the various avenues until you find the one that is the right fit for your situation, which is a bit of a pain as we all want the fix now. She says that what works for one does not always work with another. So you tinker with it until something clicks. And you may have to get second, third and fourth opinions.
Take heart, the cousin says, "There is life after the struggle subsides." LOL
Your daughter may need some special accommodations from the school district and those are required by certain federal statutes and regulations. As I indicated earlier, in order to get those accommodations, you may have to be the squeaky wheel that needs greasing.
A few days ago Turtletime said this in her post on the "Gender Confusion" thread that I think is correct, ". . . it's a good idea to start hunting for social environments where your child is most likely to be accepted and feel comfortable." I think that is also applicable to the broader population of teens in general and even us old folks. Life is much too short to spend it being made unhappy by those around us and being caught in a stressful situation.
I think that is part of what Sabrtooth was saying when she made the suggestion to "Back off the academic pressure. She doesn't need 20 AP classes. She is not 'wasting herself' is she doesn't get into Harvard . . . ." These teen years should be happy years as well as productive years.
(Thinking about our youngest SIL and the path that he led to him and youngest daughter skipping out of 8th grade in an effort to get away from some of those tormentors in Jr. High, I think he had the right idea of getting away from them as life is much too short to spend it being tormented. Kids in general, especially Jr. High kids, can be extremely cruel. As the bumper sticker says MEAN PEOPLE SUCK.)
I agree with Sabrtooth, "IQ has NOTHING to do with happiness in life." It may even be that there is an inverse relationship to IQ and happiness. Some of the happiest folks you will ever be around are those with downs syndrome. I think that part of that is that they don't compare themselves to others and have fewer wants than the rest of us. They are content with what they are and have.
Hey Sabrtooth that sweet little grandbaby has not even reached the terrible twos yet. You ain't seen nothing yet. LOL Ain't grand kids great???????????????
Also Sabrtooth, this afternoon I went over to a friend's home and watched the Katie show you mentioned on your post on the other thread about Gender Confusion. She DVRs that show and a few others and then watches them later. It was interesting.
Geve, it will take several days for them to process all the testing data, but please do come back from time to time and share with us what's happening.

'Paani' is a dream, I hope it happens: Hrithik Roshan
Hrithik Roshan, who is likely to play the lead in Shekhar Kapur's dream-project 'Paani', says is has been his lifelong dream to work with the 'Mr India' director.
At the Whistling Woods acting academy, Hrithik said "I would just say that working with Shekhar Kapur is a lifelong dream of mine. Paani is a dream and I hope it happens."
"I am looking forward to working with Shekhar Kapur and apart from work, just being with that man, in his presence, I feel comforted. On a personal equation, Shekhar Kapur is kind of an enlightened soul. So when I am with him, I feel a little enlightened, I feel a little good about myself" he said.

@srk the great -- SRK's biggest movies and and most hypes movies like Kachra.One and Jab Tak Thi Gaan didn't cross even 120 Crores in India Lol and Hrithik's Agneepath did more than 120 Crores now wait for his biggest movie of his career Krrish-3 which is going to be thunderstorm and it will cross JTHJ business in just 2-3 days then wait for Paani which would be even bigger.

Exceptional home on North Beach
This review is a joy to write because the home is beautiful, immaculate and has plenty to say about it. The home has a great floor plan and thoughtfully appointed. The large kitchen is well stocked with everything you will need. The Keurig coffee maker with plenty of complementary coffee is a real treat and also the bottle of wine Anthony left for us to enjoy on the roof top deck. The dining room has a extra large table with plenty of seating for a large family to enjoy a meal together. The living room is close to the kitchen and dining room with plenty of seating. All the bathrooms and bedrooms are large with plenty of closet space. The rooms are full of natural light with all the windows in the home. Location is excellent with a private lane that leads to a spacious and quite beach. Anthony was great to work with and answered all my questions promptly. I fell in love with this home and did not want to leave.
Best house we have ever rented!
The listing description was accurate and the amenities were better than the listing even described. The house was spotless and very well maintained. Susan was very helpful and informative. The beach was only a short walk and was very private, not crowded at all. I would recommend this property and will definitely rent it again myself!
