Good Grief
What happens when you first hear that your child has a developmental disability? How do you respond? How do you manage after several or many years go by? Who can you talk to about your own emotional reactions? What do you do when you are feeling overwhelmed? These are all questions that confront a person who has a child with a difference-a challenge-a disability. As professionals how do we support family members who are struggling with the impact of disability?
This workshop will use a grieving model to explore the emotional aspects of parenting a child with a disability. It will enable participants to understand the ongoing emotional impact that raising a child with a disability can have on all family members, as well as how to make meaning out of these emotions. This workshop is geared for parents, family members and professionals who love and/or work with children with disabilities.

"Change Your Child's Behavior by Changing Yours"
Parents often think that children somehow know what makes them happy, and when their child misbehaves it is then meant as a personal affront. In truth, children reinvent themselves daily, if not hourly, based on developmental evolution of ages and stages. What unnerves parents is actually appropriate to the various stages of child development. They also reinvent themselves based on the reactions and reinforcements of the adult in their lives. So, the good news is that you can change your child's behavior by the way you react to theirs! Understanding and applying the science of brain-based ages and stages can help in daily tug-of-wars, including bedtime, eating and getting out the door (on time)! Presented by Claire Flynn.
Tuesday, January 29 from 6:30-8 p.m. at Capitol School of Austin. Cost is $20. Call 467-7006 to register.

Do you always make a New Year's resolution to organize your life? Are calendars, supplement charts, therapy schedules, data sheets, and IEP documents taking over your house?

Join us for an online discussion on how to conquer the paper and get some peace of mind about your child's needs and family schedule.
Presented by Anissa Ryland, Director, The Johnson Center for Child Health and Development.

Colts' Ryan Grigson 9-8 Over Elway for Sporting News' Executive of the Year

Grigson won 9-8 in a very deserving way. Elway would have won if one of those votes were switched! It is not like he was snubbed here at all! Both of them did tremendous Jobs this last season and both teams improved dramatically, kudos to both guys.
I just hate the Elway was snubbed crap. He was one vote changing hands from winning.
As for the draft though, its a no brainer Grigson killed it this year better than anyone else with first year production from the rookie class. 6 of his first 7 selections started or played meaningful minutes this season. The only one who did not, was Josh Chapman who played 5 games without an ACL for Alabama in order to secure the NCAA title. And, he selected him in the fifth round in order to basically redshirt him when he NEEDED DL help this season. That was a ballsy move, but since only 2 other 5th rounders did anything for their teams THIS year and Grigson drafted one of those 2 in Vick Ballard as well, I call that a pretty damn shrewd move.
While I loved DEN's draft overall, it was nowhere close to being in the same breath with its first year effectiveness. Only 2 of the guys played meaningful minutes this year out of the 7, 3 saw spot duty, and 2 never saw the field basically.
Did Grigson inherit the first round pick of the decade with Luck being there, yes. However, that was not all he did at all. Just like signing Manning was not all Elway did at all. However, you are also kidding yourself if you think this team would have made the playoffs if Manning did not work out or got hurt.
I could have easily replaced Tombstone's "Luck" post with "Manning" and made the EXACT same argument he did
. Without Manning, Elway is not up for executive of the year either.
As for Elway and Manning, here's the deal. Manning had choices. As for Luck, Luck had no choice, he was going to the Colts. Manning had choices and he chose the Broncos. Again, I think Elway gets dissed a little because people are all like "Well the Broncos had Manning so that's why they were so good" and completely forget that Elway had to go and get Manning.
All in all I think Grigson is getting the votes because no one expected the Colts to make the playoffs and they did. On the other hand people can look at Elway and say "he got Manning" which is a tad disingenuous IMHO.

click above image to view more teaser shots of the 2008 Dodge Challenger
Are we that hard up for news on the 2008 Dodge Challenger that we'll do a post on one measly new photo of a part of the car we've already seen? Uh, yeah, in fact we are, so credit Autoblog reader Glenn who found this new shot on Dodge's website for the Challenger. It's slid in there with the rest ofo the teaser shots we've seen and shows the same grille we've seen before but from another angle. In fact, from this perspective it appears that the housing for the headlights is silver rather than black, but it could just as easily be crappy lighting messing with our heads. Check out the actual shape of the headlights, though, that give the impression they're peering out from beneath the hood even though they're not. Regardless, we now have one more teaser shot of the 2008 Dodge Challenger to add to our gallery. It's not long now until the 2008 North American International Auto Show in Detroit when we'll have dozens and dozens of images of the new Dodge Challenger to add.
UPDATE: We discovered that we first saw this image in leaked scans of an official brochure for the 2008 Dodge Challenger, but this is the first time we've seen the actual color-corrected version.

Wales forwards coach Robin McBryde believes England will be a fiercer opponent following their Cardiff nightmare last season but is confident his side will thrive on the adversity awaiting them at Twickenham on Sunday.
England suffered a humbling 30-3 rout in Cardiff last year but have been installed as odds-on favourites to prevail against the reigning champions in a pivotal RBS 6 Nations title showdown.
McBryde is wary of a backlash from Stuart Lancaster's men but knows the psychological impact victory would have ahead of their meeting in the group stage of the 2015 World Cup.
"England are a better team than last year and any bad experience, as long as you learn from it, can be turned into a big positive. That result in Cardiff could work against us," he said.
"The relics of last year's fixture will give them more fuel as they want to right the wrongs of that game.
"I'm sure those memories will be burning in their minds and they will be looking to make a statement against us.
"England have grown in maturity and stature with experience. They stood toe to toe with New Zealand in the autumn, beat Australia and had a great win against Ireland.
"Then there is the Twickenham factor - they are obviously working on a few little things behind the scenes to build that factor up.
"We'll be up against it, but the hottest fires forge the toughest steel. We have to embrace this occasion because it won't get any easier at the World Cup.
"It will be good to see how we perform in the face of adversity. Whatever way it goes it will put us in a good place come next year."
Wales powered back into title contention with a 27-6 victory over France, a result that provided redemption for being thrashed 26-3 by Ireland in Dublin two weeks earlier.
After two lopsided results, forwards coach McBryde believes England will provide the most accurate gauge of just how good his team are.
"It's positive to see the performances against France. We haven't become a bad team overnight after all and it was a step in the right direction," he said.
"The expectation now is to deliver a performance following that France game.
"There are still question marks over how good we actually are, considering how poor France were against us.
"This is the second dip of the litmus paper and it will be a far sterner test. England at Twickenham.... they're building up some momentum and were unlucky to lose against France."
The flames burning beneath the 124th meeting between the teams - the ledger is tied at 56 wins apiece with 12 draws - have been fanned by a claim made by England wing Jack Nowell that Wales "hate us".
McBryde, however, insists a rivalry dating back to 1881 does not need building up.
"It's a game of rugby and a game we all love because of the attritional side of it. It's not touch, it's not football," McBryde said.
"It's a game where we test each other out. Everyone has had their fun in their build-up to this game in regard to what's been written in the papers.
"But when the whistle goes, it's 15 versus 15. We have experience and hopefully we can bring that to bear. Hopefully it will be a good advert for the Six Nations."

5 Steps to Negotiation Success – Step 2
Posted on May 11, 2011
Filed Under Business, Entrepreneurship, Leasing, Negotiation | Leave a Comment
Negotiate when you want to be H.E.A.R.D.
This is the second in a five-part series sharing the essential steps to become a more successful negotiator.
Successful negotiators are prepared. Five steps to a successful negotiation are contained in the acronym H.E.A.R.D.
The first step was Homework. Click here to read what you need to do in this step to fully prepare for your negotiation.
Step 2 – Explore and Engage
It's time for the meeting. You've done your homework. Now you need to Listen Carefully! When you CARE-FULLY, you LISTEN.
You do this by asking the right questions. Ask open-ended questions; questions that cannot be answered with a Yes or a No. Open-ended questions begin with one of the 5 Ws: Who, What, When, Where, Why. And never forget the powerhouse word: How.
Next, verify the accuracy of your listening skills. You should have been taking careful notes. Confirm that what you heard is what they meant. This technique is called "The Parrot." You parrot back to the other party your interpretation of what you understood they said.
Successful negotiators know the power of listening, not talking. Follow the 80-20 axiom: At every negotiation step, listen 80% of the time and talk 20%. You will be a successful negotiator!
Stay tuned for Part 3 of HEARD – Assess what you know and don't know.

netscape check two
It's been a while since I heard about the origins of the beard thing. I don't remember how it started. I was wondering why Muslim men are required to wear long beards? Are they allowed to trim their beards every so often? How are the women able to kiss the bearded men, without getting all scratched up from the long scruffy beard? Sorry if this is a stupid topic. I was just curious. lol

Covance's CEO Discusses Q4 2011 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
In addition to the press release, 24 slides corresponding to the commentary you are about to hear are available on our website at www.covance.com.
Before we begin the commentary, I'd like to remind you that statements made during today's conference call and webcast, which are not historical facts, might be considered forward-looking statements. Such statements may include comments regarding future financial results and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond Covance's control. Actual results could differ materially from such statements due to a variety of facts, including the ones outlined in our SEC filings.
Certain financial measures we will discuss on this call are non-GAAP measures, which exclude the effects of events we consider to be outside of our normal operations, such as costs associated with restructuring or special charges, as well as the impact of the resolution of certain income tax matters. We believe that providing these measures helps investors gain a more complete understanding of our results and is consistent with how management views our financial results. For a reconciliation of GAAP to pro forma results, please refer to the supplemental schedules included in our press release issued last night.
Now I will turn it over to Bill for a review of our financial performance, which begins on Page 4 of the slide show.William E. Klitgaard Thank you, Paul, and good morning, everyone. Before I get into the detailed results, let me talk about 3 special items which impacted the fourth quarter. Included in the fourth quarter results is approximately $31 million or $0.41 per share in diluted -- in charges that hit the EPS. Approximately $8.7 million or $0.10 per share relates to the completion of the previously announced restructuring action where we've been incurring costs all year. The remaining $22.4 million or $0.31 per share has 2 components. The first relates to the termination of the inventory supply agreement and related rationalization of research product inventory levels, which resulted in a charge of $10.3 million or $0.11 per share.

Is Massachusetts a full capacity mag Ban
Just wondering about Massachusetts is it illegal to ship a 17 round mag to someone there? i know it is to California. I just want to double check. thanks. It is a Pre Ban Glock 17 17 rounder mag with the "U" notch.
As long as they have an LTC class A and the mags are preban it is.
This thread actually references the part of MA law where this is addressed. Some searches would probably yield several other threads like this as well.

The location was accessible to everything. The Staff was very friendly and accomodating. The room was clean and bright. Wifi was available.
The elevator ride was rough, and the hotel didn't offer continental breakfast, there was a restaurant on site.
The hotel was going through renovations/updating. It didn't affect me in anyway. The pool and restrooms were clean.

The hotel staff were very friendly in helping us find the places we needed in town and telling us about local sightseeing.
The hotel itself is in need of updating, all the furniture and decor was very old and worn out. One of the towels in our room had someone else's mascara on it.

Everyone Won't Succeed. And That's Okay!
- 16
Not everyone succeeds in the realm of higher education. This is not necessarily a bad thing because our society still needs people whose occupations do not require any college education. Some people stumble in the race to success due to a lack of effort, whereas other individuals seem to have the odds perpetually stacked against them.
Everyone is capable of academic success, but some people arrive at the table better prepared than others.
The controversial truth is that not all people will succeed in school, no matter how badly some individuals may want it. And, in my opinion, this is perfectly okay. For instance, if everyone in our society becomes a surgeon, then the prestige and excellent pay that characterize this occupation would drop. Its the same story with nursing: if all 200 million+ adults in the United States had chosen to become nurses, then the status and solid middle-income pay associated with nursing would plummet.
We actually need ditch diggers, convenience store clerks, janitors, sanitation workers and other types of employees whose positions do not require education and training at the collegiate level. These workers are absolutely vital to our economy and I don't know what we'd do without them.
In addition, many young adults are being stirred toward college with a lack of direction when they would thrive better in a focused apprenticeship or trade school environment. Most of us have used the services of plumbers, mechanics, electricians and HVAC technicians. Workers in these fields earn decent money, too.
Moreover, parental stimulation and social class can be major influences in a persons success or failure in the realm of higher education. For example, a 12-year-old boy named Ernie wants to be a doctor someday. Ernie is being brought up in a poor household where his parents live from paycheck to paycheck. His mother is a seamstress who barely graduated from high school, reads at a 6th grade level, and does not know how to do math beyond basic arithmetic. His father is an illiterate short order cook who knows basic arithmetic and dropped out of school in the 9th grade.
Even though Ernie has four younger siblings, there are no books anywhere in their cramped apartment, and his parents are unable to assist with their childrens homework assignments because they do not always understand the work their kids bring home. Financial stress exists in the household, and sometimes the electricity is disconnected for weeks at a time due to non-payment.
Ernies parents have experienced nothing but personal failures with the educational system, and they do not discuss school with any of their kids. The parents are present-oriented, live in survival mode, remain totally focused on the here and now, and do not ever discuss occasions that might dot their childrens futures such as career planning and possible college attendance.
Most of us are cognizant that a future doctor must have a remarkably solid background in science and math, combined with exceptional reading comprehension and critical thinking skills. Ernies parents were not able to inculcate any of these things into him at home. Moreover, even the best teachers in the public school system can do only so much with unprepared students. No matter how passionately Ernie wants to be a doctor, the cumulative effects of his disadvantaged background are helping to obstruct his ambitious dreams. If he fails to become a doctor, too many people would be quick to blame his personal failings when greater forces were working against him since birth.
People need to be oriented toward education well before they reach those formative preschool years. A disadvantaged child enters the school system with a diminished vocabulary, academic skills that are not up to par, and more distractions in the household than their more advantaged classmates. In other words, some individuals start horribly behind in the trek to success.Last edit by Joe V on Dec 18, '14

I consider anyone who is living a happy and productive life to be their own success story.21Dec 5, '13 by iluvgusgusSuccess does not necessarily have to be academic. I would say I am an "Ernie" and although my parents were not well educated and struggled financially, I learned that I did not want the same life and I chose to study hard in school. Many kids born with a silver spoon in their mouths do not choose to "succeed" academically either and they have all the advantages in the world. I think it is a mix of nature vs nurture when it comes to academic success and it comes down to an individual choosing to do well in school. If it is important to them, a person will do well. I have also gone to school with other disadvantaged individuals who were made fun of in elementary school for being "dumb" and who later chose to study hard and rise to the top of the class.12Dec 5, '13 by jaykalkynWhile you point out the obvious hurdles that Ernie would have to overcome in life, these hurdles do not relegate him to a life of poverty. There are plenty of Ernie's out there who came from humble beginning and who have moved on to be great "successes" in life. For this reason, this article bothered me. You have essentially said that because Ernie came from an undesirable situation he has no change in life to reach his dreams. Have you not heard of mentoring programs, or Head Start as one reader mentioned? There are plenty of outside influences who can make up for the lack of educational interest in the home. True, it will be that much harder for Ernie but its not impossible. And the sooner people stop judging and expecting failure the better off the Ernie's of this world will be.3Dec 5, '13 by brandy1017While there may be many disadvantages these can be overcome if a person loves learning and reading. Reading can open a whole universe of knowledge and the world to a person. Even if poor, if they make use of a public library they can succeed! Motivation and desire can go along way to reaching your dreams and if you are fortunate enough to have an excellent teachor or mentor that encourages you to succeed even better!
In the end, the main obstacle is money and the person would end up taking out a lot of student loans in the process of college and medical school. Most people esp poor and middle class end up taking out student loans, few actually get scholarships or grants that are more than token at best! I even had a family member whose family was living on only 12,000 a year and now had lost that job and when the govt was happy to put her back to school in her 50's for vocational training at the community college/tech she didn't get grants, only loans! I was pretty shocked that someone that poor would be forced into loans. Guess what she graduated with very good grades, but living in a rural area never was able to find a job. Now living on a very dismal social security check she is paying back those loans. She can't afford those loans, was without health insurance till Medicare and her children were helping to pay for her oxygen. Honestly, she most likely wasn't healthy enough to work in the first place! Fortunately her children had jobs and were able to help support her.
The ideal school system would offer a range of learning from practical, hands on skilled trades to pre-college math, science, and literature, but don't forget personal finance. Personal finance is an essential need no matter what a child's plan's for the future are! Aside from poor wages, lack of personal finance, keeps many people poorer than they need to be as the banks, Sallie Mae, etc are happy to take advantage of their lack of knowledge for their own excessive profit!
Also I think it is possible and perhaps beneficial to take both pre-college coursework along with a skilled trade if offered. It would give a person choices and a way to make a living whether they went to college or not and while they were in college if they chose! Skilled vocational training can be a plus and more children should have that opportunity since we know there are not enough true professional jobs for all the people that are going to college. Many are ending up paying for skilled vocational training after college just to get a decent paying job in the end! Why not save people the excess college debt in the first place, give them some vocational training first for free in high school and then let them decide if college is worth the gamble! Instead we push everyone into college and then leave them to realize they can't get a job so they end up going back to school for training whether as a nurse or many of the other skilled trades offered by community colleges, all the while these unfortunate people are racking up even more student loan debt!9Dec 5, '13 by That Guy, BSN, RN, EMT-BQuote from sunnybabeSettling is a personal choice, not a punishment. You can choose to settle or to overcome.This was very nice to read. It's sad how our circumstances lead us to settle instead of thrive.27Dec 5, '13 by BrandonLPNQuote from jaykalkynThe people who emerge from the truly impoverished parts of our society to become financially and academically successful are such a tiny percentage that they can safely be called the exception that proves the rule.While you point out the obvious hurdles that Ernie would have to overcome in life, these hurdles do not relegate him to a life of poverty. There are plenty of Ernie's out there who came from humble beginning and who have moved on to be great "successes" in life. For this reason, this article bothered me. You have essentially said that because Ernie came from an undesirable situation he has no change in life to reach his dreams. Have you not heard of mentoring programs, or Head Start as one reader mentioned? There are plenty of outside influences who can make up for the lack of educational interest in the home. True, it will be that much harder for Ernie but its not impossible. And the sooner people stop judging and expecting failure the better off the Ernie's of this world will be.
We live in a society. And every society since the beginning of time has economic classes. The wealthy elite among these classes has an obvious interest in maintaining this status quo. Our society is no different. Why do you think the poor more or less remain poor generation after generation, while the rich remain rich?
It's clearly offensive to suggest that the poor who fail to rise above their station fail to do so because they lack "gumption", or whatever. Yet this is exactly what one suggests when one implies that we "all" have equal opportunity to become doctors, lawyers, etc. It is not a coincidence that the vast majority of doctors come from, at least, an upper-middle class background, while the "Ernies" of America gravitate toward less glamorous careers.
Not only does Ernie have "hurdles" to overcome in his quest to become a doctor, there are also so many parts of society that, by design or not, will simply prevent someone from Ernie's background from ever doing so.
Since we're talking about education, let's take a look at our school system. Schools are funded by local property taxes. Kids born in the posh suburbs attend, from the start, the best funded, staffed and supplied schools in the country. These are the kids who get their own ipads, the smallest classrooms and the highest paid, most educated teachers. Kids in working class suburbs will attend lees spectacular, but still decent, schools. Kids born in inner city Detroit have almost zero local property tax revenue for their schools, so they get to attend broken down, glorified daycare centers where making it out alive without getting shot or stabbed is a "win".
And you're gonna tell me that if Ernie in inner city Detroit would only reach for the stars, and want his dreams bad enough, then "outside influences" would be enough to make him a doctor?
Come, now.
To simply survive and stay out of prison in places like Detroit or inner city LA or whatever requires an incredible amount of intelligence, wit and resourcefulness. The kids who do so are already successful in life, even if they're high school dropouts. Their staying alive took a heck of a lot more effort and presence of mind than the rich kid who went to medical school could ever dream of.

This is a version of gluten free cookies. We tried it for the first time today, it turned out pretty good, they are a little bit flaky, but other than that they taste pretty good

This is the two-headed bat who runs the Bat Hole. Despite constant arguments with himself which usually leave him with four black eyes.
Hit Message(s):
He headbutts you, with both heads. And both foreheads. All eight heads, then. Ugh! Ow! Ow! Ooh!
He sinks four sets of fangs into your tender <head>. Ouch squared, dude. Oof! Ow! Ouch! Ugh!
He lets loose a piercing squeak from both sets of vocal cords. Do bats have vocal cords? Well, this one does, anyway, and it really hurts when he squeaks at you. Eek! Ow! Eek! Ooh! Ouch!
He flaps his wings and rises ponderously into the air. With a piercing squeak, he swoops down and lands on you, crushing you beneath his freakishly warm, fleshy, deformed body. Ouch! Ooh! Ouch!
He tries to headbutt you, but your thick skull doesn't even feel the attack.
He tries to sink all of his fangs into you, but can't decide which head gets to bite first.
He squeaks at you from both mouths, but manages to harmonize pleasantly.
He lets loose a piercing squeak and flies up to swoop down on you. Unfortunately, his two heads can't agree about who gets to drive, and he smashes into the wall.
Occurs at The Boss Bat's Lair.

It's been a while since I participate in fashion production, collaborating with talent people that engaged to create their art, photographers ,makeup artist and fashion lover/stylist(me). I am aware that most of you got use to blur background photo shots, the typical ones to street-style. However I though it will be cool to show you around , Tel Aviv streets. One of my favourite and my location pick is Bialik square, a beautiful place with the most out standing building, the former city hall . I really love to be involve in all the production process, specially the location.
Another of my great choices is those stunning two-tone wide trousers that finally arrived. I was thinking long time ago to design just like those, but I guess thoughts is not enough so I will give the designer the full credit of this great design and Idea. well done!
I want to thank my dear friend Noam , Lidar moshe the photographer and shira meoded , the make-up artist ,for their great support and job.
2014 please be gentle with me!
I will announced the giveaway winner soon .
Happy new year! Xo

iPad run over by a PT Cruiser, lives to tell the tale
We see a lot of examples of how Apple products can withstand abuse, but one of the more dramatic examples showed up in the TUAW inbox this afternoon.
Reader Aaron sent us a link to a YouTube video (on the next page) demonstrating how an iPad belonging to a fellow employee handled being run over by the front and rear wheels of a Chrysler PT Cruiser. As the video shows, the iPad was in the standard Apple Case and the front glass was crushed quite extensively. However, the Home button still worked and the rest of the components in the display were totally functional. The touchscreen still responded to gestures, and the accelerometer responded by rotating the screen.
We don't recommend driving over your iPad to test the durability (duh!), but isn't it good to know that it can handle this kind of abuse and still work? Enjoy the video.
