Daughter is pregnant!

I am new to this board. Mother of 3 daughters. Oldest just told me she was pregnant. She has been going through difficult times for several years now and just recently told me she was raped in high school. Her boyfriend of 2 years broke up with her last fall and she considered taking her life. She has been in therapy for a couple years now and on lexapro. Then this spring a good friend of hers admitted he liked her and wanted to take her out on a date when they were both home for the summer. I was so happy to hear this because I really like him. Well, they weren't even in a steady relationship and had sex. Now she is pregnant. Both families know. When we met with him and his family I left feeling very resentful to them. Basically, he is going to study abroard fall semester ("oh he can't get out of it") and because he is so driven in school he doesn't have the time or want for a serious relationship. That was what his mother said not him. My daughter doesn't seem to have a whole lot of emotion about the situation, and I keep loosing my temper. I hate being angry at her but I am. She says this was her first time having sex, and even though it may be hard to believe to some people, I believe her. Abortion is not an option for us and I hope she gives it up for adoption. Her whole life will be turned upside down and put on hold. She is a junior in college. I won't let her live on campus this fall; however, she is fortunate she can commute. Then in the spring she will need to take time off.
I don't know how to react to her loss of emotion. Why isn't she crying? Angry? Acting scared? She knows NOTHING about being pregnant and I am constantly telling her what she can and can't do.
I am so sad, frustrated, scared and angry.

I have been in your shoes but my DD was older with a boyfriend of 3 yrs & they were drifting apart. They were just married last yr when their son was 4 but there is no doubt in all our minds that without my adorable grandson, they would not be a couple. I remember being so angry at my DD when they told us. I knew what was coming when they showed up together on a weeknight when he hadn't been to our home in 6 mths. I made an excuse to leave the room before they could tell us so that I could contain my anger when I heard the news. It took me time to calm down & realize that this wasn't my problem. They were adults who needed my help but that was all. I thought about how I would have reacted if she had been married, finished her education & this pregnancy was planned. Then I decided to act as if all had gone according to my dream plan. My dd didn't have an easy time accepting the pregnancy. She didn't say much about it & certainly didn't act overjoyed. I tried to listen to her feelings. It was hard for her as she never wanted kids & was scared. Then my grandson was born 10 wks early & we almost lost him. Life changed that day for all of us. Everyone grew up quickly. My daughter is an excellent Mom. No, she isn't the doctor she planned to be as my grandson is a special needs child so doing her masters & med school wasn't an option then. But she did take a fastpath medical course & is a study coordinator for a drug testing firm. She continues to take online courses to upgrade her skills & to obtain more certifications. No, it's not the life I had dreamed for my straight A student but it's a good life made all the richer by my grandson.
I think that all of us here have tried to share with you stories where dreams turned into different realities but things still worked out. Grieve for the change in the dreams you held for your daughter but be her supporter. Love her unconditionally & let go of the anger as she needs you.

I know i am terribly late chiming in on this and everyone else has given you great advice! I thought I would chime as the daughter that got pregnant at 18, just after graduating high school. I was dating ODD's father, we had been good friends for quite some time and had only been dating a few months. It wasn't my first time having sex, but it was his. He was a junior in high school at the time. When I told him I was pregnant, we had already broken up and like your DD's BF's parents, it was very much the same way, but he was also very vocal that he was too good of a kid to let my being pregnant get in the way of his hopes and dreams. We went out separate ways, I opted not to go away to school and started community college in the fall, he finished his senior year of high school then went off to college. I lived with my parents until my ODD was 5. I finished my associate's degree, worked full time and finished bachelor's degree, bought a condo and moved out, started and stopped my Master's degree, and then married. At the time I got pregnant I was still 17, adoption wasn't an option for me, but at the time, an abortion was. My parents wouldn't sign off on it, and I went to court and got permission from a judge to have one. After some thought, and a discussion with a very wise friend, I opted not to have one and instead of ODD. My parents were completely supportive, and I would not have gotten through the pregnancy or 2 college degrees without their help and support. They didn't pay for anything, I didn't have to pay rent, but I paid everything else, I was on government assistance for about a year, I worked 2 jobs while doing my associate's degree and then a full time job in my major after she turned 2. I didn't know what to do when I was pregnant, my mother walked me through everything. I can't say enough about how supportive they were, and we had never been close while I was growing up, I was scared to death when I told them I was pregnant, I thought they would throw me out of the house, make me do it alone, and I shut down much like your DD did.
But like many others have said, I never regret the decision at all now, I made several mistakes over the years, but ODD is the best thing that every happened to me. I did do a paternity test with her biodad as he decided to dispute paternity, we went through the court system for child support, it was spotty over the years, but it has been consistent for several years now. I always left the option open for him to contact her and get to know her, which he decided to do when she was 10. They do not have much of a relationship at all, they exchange text messages, FB messages occassionally, but that is all, and that is all her decision.
But mostly what I am trying to say is, we ALL make mistakes at times, she is an adult, but as your daughter, she needs your support right now. She is at a higher risk for post partum depression due to her past history with depression, and the emotional turmoil she is going to go through during the pregnancy. Do what you can as her mother to support her, and support her decisions, because you never know where this will lead, it could very well be what is a turning point for her in her life. And believe me, I have a beautiful, talented, smart 17 year old daughter who is at the top of her class and is being recruited by a large university for sports to show for my "mistake."

Dear Arryl,
Thank you so much for the above personal story. It was beautiful and so well written.
I have printed off several copies of it and will have it "on the ready" when I next have someone to share it with. On several occasions in the past thirty months, since our youngest DD had an oopse with the BC, I have had mothers who wanted to talk about their DD being oopsed. Your story gives a view often not expressed so well.
Your words are a wonderful testimony to a pro-choice choice of LIFE. LIFE truly is a beautiful choice.
I hope that the "wise friend" who helped you with your thinking, knows the wonderful results of their thoughts and efforts.
Your parents are truly great parents. And helping you during those hard years was a great and wonderful use of public assistance funds.
Sadly, the father in this story missed out on a truly beautiful series of events. What a shame and tragedy for him.
Thank you again for sharing.

I came from a 'normal' family, parents married 45 yrs, no abuse, no addiction, upper middle class, there is no sad story in my childhood. I am married now, my son is 17, he is a good kid but he is still a teenager with a sharp tongue at times, and I also have a redheaded spitfire 1 1/2 yr old daughter who definitely wears me out more than my son. But my life is good, I turned out fairly well. Young mothers, single parents, awful 'baby-daddys' do not equate to a life ruined. And to be disappointed is OK, it is understandable. Maybe your daughter doesn't get it today but just like potty training, one day she will see how important it is to her in the long run.
Dear HappyRockMa,
I love the above words from you post.
Your letter goes into my file of testimony to the unplanned for blessings—the type of blessings that matter the most. Thank you for sharing it.
Your parents, like all of us, are victims of the times they we're raised in. For them, such was a really upsetting event. I was two months pregnant on our wedding day that had been planned for over a year. I didn't tell my parents until a few months after the wedding. It was not that I was ashamed of some deep dark secret, but rather I thought why put a cloud on the day. They would have understood because my mother was also a preggers bride and such was truly outrageous in '61. We were planning the weddings of our DDs when our youngest DD oopsed on her birth control. What can I say other than it's a family tradition. My point is that your dad just didn't understand things and that is understandable because of the time he was raised.
Mom was a victim at the Lone Star Drive-in and the least effective birth control called hope, as in I hope I don't get preggers. Like Arryl above, and maybe you, I was on the pill but, maybe they diminished the pixie dust for safety reasons or maybe they put twenty one sugar pills in the pack of 28 pills. In any event, you two, my mother, my daughter, and I all feel truly blessed by what happened.
And welcome to our corner of the village.
PS: My parents just knocked off their fifty-first year this summer. Those silly kids. LOL

West Virginia loses to No. 11 Oklahoma St 73-72
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia coach Bob Huggins is still trying to get a young roster to consistently play up to his expectations.
The Mountaineers couldn't hold onto a late lead Saturday, falling to No. 11 Oklahoma State 73-72.
West Virginia had four players score in double figures, but Huggins lamented the efforts of some of his youngest players for failing to help secure a win that would have put the Mountaineers (10-6, 2-1 Big 12) alone in first place in the conference.
"We're close," Huggins said. "Our problem is we have a whole bunch of freshmen who don't understand how hard you have to play for how long you have to play hard at this level. And when you stop playing hard, people take advantage of you."
The difference was Oklahoma State's Markel Brown hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 12 seconds left, while West Virginia's Juwan Staten missed a layup in the closing seconds.
"If the ball goes in, we're all sitting here talking how far we've come," Huggins said. "We got it at the rim with the guy who's finished more goals at the rim than the rest of our team put together. We got what we wanted."
Oklahoma State (14-2, 2-1) trailed for most of the game, but got solid efforts from its top two scorers in the final minutes.
"Proud of our team for just hanging in there," Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford said. "There was moments where it could have got away from us, but we just kept hanging in there and then we made a few big plays. And obviously Markel hit a really big shot."
The game featured four of the top six scorers in the Big 12. Marcus Smart and Brown again came out on top over the Mountaineers' duo of Eron Harris and Staten after a Cowboys' season sweep a year ago.
Despite some foul trouble, Smart had 22 points and 13 rebounds to give him two straight double-doubles. He had none before a win over Texas on Wednesday. Brown finished with 12 points.
Staten finished with 20 points while Harris, the league's second-best scorer, was held to 11, more than seven below his average. Harris made just 3 of 11 shots.
"He didn't play very well," Huggins said. "I'm telling him every day, 'you have to work.'"
West Virginia's Terry Henderson scored a season-high 21 points, including a 3-pointer that put the Mountaineers ahead 72-70 with 1:14 remaining.
Freshman Nathan Adrian, who's been mired in a shooting slump, sent the home crowd into a frenzy with a block of Le'Bryan Nash's shot attempt with 1:04 to go and West Virginia got the ball back on the tie-up.
But Staten missed a layup with 27 seconds left, Brown got the rebound and Oklahoma State called timeout.
Once play resumed, Smart found Brown at the top left side of the circle.
"We were actually trying to feel out a shot, but when Marcus came off, everybody crashed on him, and like once before in the game he kicked it to me," Brown said. "I was open, I got a defender off his feet and I made the shot."

What a great little eyelash comb! Works fantastic! You can't beat the price $5.99!
Great product! Separates the lashes and gets rid of the clumpies. The fold out design is great, very compact.
This is a pretty good lash comb. I hadn't tried any plastic ones before buying this one, so I can't really compare. You run it through your lashes right after you apply mascara, and it is doing a pretty good job of keeping my lashes clump-free. The only thing is that it seems to need a lot of cleaning.
Does a better job than plastic combs. Needs to be cleaned frequently.
Love it! Does a much better job than plastic ones. And the fact that its plated in gold makes it all the better! Only $5.50 too! I admit it was a little scary at first using it the edges look sharp. But as long as you be careful and only use it in front of a mirror your good to go! This little baby allows me to pile on three coats of mascara! And still look pretty natural! Love it! Oh and I read that some girls said not to clean it with alcohol like it says on the package, it supposedly falls apart after that...
Totally a MUST have.Doesn't matter how bad your is your mascara, this lash comb will fix it.
I found that this lashcomb works better than any other that I have had in the past. But what was I thinking? OF COURSE it was going to be sharp!! It works really well, but I found that as careful as I was, I would poke myself...and it hurts!!
This is an absolute must for mascara wearers with long lashes. Using a metal comb -- as opposed to a plastic one -- is the most effective way to separate lashes. This is the best one out there, it folds into itself and is durable through washings.
Great Lash Comb. A little scary to use because the tines are metal and kind of sharp. But they do seperate lashes beautifully.
This is a must-get item for all girls! Does everything you want in a lash comb, but perfectly in one swipe, and does it's job so much better than your conventional plastic lash comb...does this comb get better than this??? Yes it does --the price is unbelieveably cheap, and on top of all the virtues of this cute little item, it's plated with *gold*! Now, I don't know about you, but I love the idea that my little eyelashes touch gold whenever I use this little buddy :)

text: In a medium inundated with remakes and reboots, it's independent cinema that continues to inject hope into our lives. More specifically, it's the swath of young, subversive artists in this industry that seem to keep the wheels spinning and the lights on. That's why, in an effort to highlight these ingenious artists, we've created this list of 25 emerging filmmakers to keep an eye out for. The diversity and skill of this list indicates that we're in no shortage of unique voices. Moreover, the 25 filmmakers below prove that a singular voice can originate from anywhere. From Brooklyn to Saudi Arabia, these artists hail from all around the world, each having managed to create a piece of cinema (in some cases multiple pieces of cinema) that have spoken to our writers here on Movie Mezzanine. The only qualification to being classified as an "up and coming" filmmaker is that he/she could only have directed a maximum of three featured length films (note: exceptions were made for people whose fourth film has not received distribution yet). We hope you enjoy the following. Andrea Arnold Age: 53 Hometown: Dartford, United Kingdom Filmography: Red Road (2006), Fish Tank (2009) and Wuthering Heights (2011). Upcoming Project: American Honey (2015) With just three feature films under her belt, Andrea Arnold has begun to establish an authorial voice that doesn't feel like anything else in the indie film scene or the rest of contemporary British cinema. Like many indie filmmakers, her stories tend to be about people who are trapped by their environment, social status, or physical limitations, but she further envelops the viewer in her prisons with a truly intelligent use of the frame. The relationship between the spaces of the environment and the characters is always felt and reflected upon in her work. This was first experimented on with her debut feature, the criminally underseen Red Road, which followed a woman who works as a surveillance camera operator that one day spots a man from her past. As she examines him through the lens of the camera, we become the voyeurs of her own life. It wasn't until her second film Fish Tank, one of the ten best films of the last decade, that she brought us into the life of a rebellious teenager through a 4:3 aspect ratio, the very edges of the frame closing in on her characters. And while her third feature, an adaptation of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights,didn't quite reach Fish Tank's heights, it was Arnold's most formally daring, as she employed all of the modern sensibilities she honed with her first two works, including her use of 4:3, into a period piece set in the mid 1800s. Yet for all of Arnold's stylistic aplomb, she also manages to craft such lovingly detailed, human characters that never leave your memory. One can only imagine what else Arnold could accomplish as her directing only sharpens. For now, I await what she does next with bated breath. - Christopher Runyon John Michael McDonagh Age: Unknown Hometown: London, England Filmography: The Guard (2011) and Calvary (2014) Upcoming Project: TBA Is there a more whimsical young Irish filmmaker than John Michael McDonagh? His subjects, drug dealers in The Guard, death threats against a priest in his upcoming Calvary, are two things: heavy, and secondary. The real action belongs to the words, that distinctive clip-clopping rhythm of banter between central characters that McDonagh writes with such aplomb. Screenwriter first, director second, McDonagh brings a touch of old-fashioned screwball to the genres he tries on for size. They all seem to fit. The Guard finds McDonagh riffing on the buddy cop film, but it's more O Brother, Where Art Thou? than Lethal Weapon. Calvary finds McDonagh in a small-town mystery of the kitchen-sink variety, with no less pith but a good helping of sincerity. In our era of self-aware humor, it's rare to find a strong writer so willing to make himself vulnerable onscreen. McDonagh is at once a filmmaker bursting onto the scene and a throwback to a golden era when the screenwriter was king. For this, and for singlehandedly making Brendan Gleeson into one of the business's hottest leading men, he's our nominee for the Most Quotable Cult Director of the next decade. - Katherine Kilkenny Derek Cianfrance Age: 40 Origin: Lakewood, Colorado Filmography: Brother Tied (1998), Blue Valentine (2010) and The Place Beyond the Pines (2013) Upcoming Project: Metalhead (TBD) Derek Cianfrance is actually a three-time feature director, but his first movie Brother Tied is so unobtainable (it played at festivals in 1998 but hasn't seen the light of day since, the print now collecting dust in Cianfrance's father's basement) that we only have his second and third films, Blue Valentine and The Place Beyond the Pines, to judge him by. But it's hard to imagine that Brother Tied, made when Cianfrance was just 23 and considered an overly-stylised "scar" by the director, could possess the maturity of the work from the man since. Cianfrance's 2010 picture, Blue Valentine, is a quintessential anti-romance, simultaneously charting the breakup and burgeoning romance of a couple, played with a painful honesty by both Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams. This movie and decades-spanning triptych The Place Beyond the Pines flaunt Cianfrance's appetite for toying with time in cinema, as well as his handsome, electric lensing and expertise at directing actors, and though some say Cianfrance reached too far with Pines' generational epic leanings, putting the director on trial for his ambition seems foolish. For Cianfrance's films – the two that we have, anyway – operate on some constant high emotional frequency, intentionally aiming for and almost always hitting those poignant highs. That he sometimes misses is by the by. - Brogan Morris Sarah Polley Age: 35 Hometown: Toronto, Canada Filmography: Away from Her (2006), Take This Waltz (2011) and Stories We Tell (2012) Upcoming Project: TBA The fate of child actor's is rarely as promising or as eloquent as it has been for Canadian actress/activist Sarah Polley, whose first feature films have all been delicate examinations of human relationships. Her debut as a filmmaker, 2006's Away From Her gained Polley a Best Adapted Screenplay nomination at the Oscars, and was a heart-breaking look at a couple faced with Alzheimer's disease. Her second feature, the highly underrated Take this Waltz, was her first completely original work, directing her own screenplay about a woman caught in a mess of infidelity. Sarah Polley especially turned heads with her most recent film, a documentary that proved her talent and diversity as a filmmaker, Stories We Tell. A bold film that examines a sensitive aspect of her own family's history, Polley created an extremely personal narrative that most filmmakers wouldn't dare attempt. It takes not just guts, but talent and ferocity to achieve a vision that is extremely particular in its details, but still creates a universal message and urges viewers to take a look at their own familial truths. It is for these reasons that Sarah Polley is set to be one of the greatest filmmakers of her generation. Her deep understanding of emotional truths and flawed characters is unparallelled, both in her acting and her directing. She next will be taking on an adaptation of Margaret Atwood's Alias Grace, and there may be no better director for the project. The fact that she is both Canadian and a woman is just the cherry on top. - Adriana Floridia Ryan Coogler Age: 27 Hometown: Oakland, California Filmography: Fruitvale Station (2013) Upcoming Project: Creed (TBA) Not many directors get it quite as right on their first go-around as Ryan Coogler did with Fruitvale Station. It's a stunning and intimate portrait of Oscar Grant, the young black man gunned down by BART police in 2009. Marvelously played by Michael B Jordan, the character is written with an honesty and complexity that makes the final moments of the film all the more affecting. Amidst movies like 12 Years A Slave and The Butler, Fruitvale Station served as a poignant reminder of present-day racism, an eerie and timely debut as the Trayvon Martin shooting case dominated the news. And now Coogler, at only 26, has earned a place as part of a new exciting wave of young black directors who are offering up vital, alternative narratives about the black experience. Up next, he'll be reuniting with Jordan on a Rocky spin off focusing on Apollo Creed's grandson, Creed. It's an unexpected next move for Coogler, but if his first feature is any indication, an exciting one as well. - Zeba Blay Nathan Silver Age: 31 Hometown: Cambridge, Massachusetts Filmography: The Blind (2009), Exit Elena (2012) and Soft in the Head (2013) Upcoming Project: Uncertain Terms (2014) and Stinking Heaven (TBA) There is a hyperactive hunger at the heart of New York filmmaker Nathan Silver's work. His last two films, 2013's Exit Elena and this year's Soft in the Head, are both brisk sprints of familial and social dysfunction, but one gets the sense that these types of stories are happening all over, and with his next film, Uncertain Terms, already slated to premiere at this year's Los Angeles Film Festival, it's clear Silver is anxious to tell them. Shooting on a micro-budget (Head, a loose retelling of Dostoyevsky's "The Idiot", earned funding through a Kickstarter campaign), Silver encourages improvisation amongst his cast, a haphazard patchwork of both professional and non-professional actors, which, at times cathartically, extend to members of his family. The intensely collaborative nature lends slack to the course of the deceptively slight narrative, winding it through an atlas of undiscovered and often perilous forests. But while Silver's explorative approach often breeds chaos, his grasp on it is slyly controlled, defiantly elevating himself above the scourge of the "white people problems" subgenre. His films probe deeper, expose more layers, and simmer before they scald. It's pitch-perfect human cacophony. - Jesse Knight Mia Hansen-Løve Age: 33 Hometown: Paris, France Filmography: Tout est pardoneé (2007), Father of Children (2009) and Goodbye First Love (2011) Upcoming Projects: Eden (2014) Goodbye First Love is Mia Hansen-Løve's third feature, but for many of us on this side of the Atlantic, it was our introduction to her. The film dealt with a subject inanely lauded in our culture, that of young love, in a manner that treated honestly the narrow, all-consuming nature of first love while also grappling with the ways that adults move on from its inevitable disappointments and heartbreak. As she filmed it, first love is not the standard to which all other relationships must be judged but the necessary rite of passage of disappointment and pain that one must endure to face the world. Hansen-Løve sets herself apart from the horde of stylistically similar teen films with her elegance, in the subtle cues that mark a leap forward in time, or the tacit displays of affection and arousal. Her latest, Eden, is about the electronic music scene of the '90s. I hope she does for music movies what she did for the teen film. - Jake Cole Richard Ayoade Age: 36 Hometown: London, England Filmography: Submarine (2010) and The Double (2013) Upcoming Projects: TBA Who would have anticipated that the droll star of such British comedies as The IT Crowd had such a soulful sensibility hidden within? Or that he'd be able to pull off such remarkably assured work from the first frames of his first film? Submarine is a movie about teenagers that looks and feels distinctly unlike whatever it is one probably thinks of when thinking of teen movies. It gets inside what it's like to be odd, and not "odd" in a cute Hollywood way, but in an awkward, sometimes painfully real way. That interior style comes in handy with The Double, which swaps Submarine's extensive first-person narration for the back-and-forth between a man and his doppelganger – or more accurately, two halves of the same man. And in both of his films to date, Ayoade and cinematographer Erik Wilson have crafted unforgettable visuals. Submarine looks like an improperly developed polaroid picture, The Double like an acid yellow distortion of the world from Brazil. Both films also manage to be quite funny while tackling more serious fare. There's melancholy, heartache, and pubescent uncertainty in Submarine and terror and existential emptiness in The Double. Whether Ayoade chooses to adapt another novel or goes with something new for his next project, he'll surely do it proud. - Dan Schindel Cary Fukunaga Age: 36 Hometown: Oakland, California Filmography: Sin Nombre (2009), Jane Eyre (2011), "True Detective" (HBO Series, 2014) Upcoming Projects: Beasts of No Nation (TBA) and It (TBA) For eight weeks in January and March, many of us found ourselves mesmerized by True Detective, HBO's southern gothic mystery series that confirmed that there was, indeed, a "McConaissance" going on. But besides the broody performances from Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, and the labyrinthine story by Nic Pizzolatto, what made the series work so well was its visual tone, crafted with deliberate skill by director Cary Fukunaga. Fukunaga, with a background in writing, directing and cinematography, has a style that is distinct in its subtlely. It's an approach that's just as evident in his first feature, Sin Nombre, a film that, like True Detective, focuses on two main characters on a harrowing journey – in this case, a pair of Latino migrants trying to cross the border. But what's most fascinating about Fukunaga is the diversity of the projects he chooses. His second feature was a well-conceived adaptation of Jane Eyre, and his future projects (of which there seem to be dozens) include a biopic on French Revolution-era General Thomas-Alexandre Dumas (the highest ranking person of color to serve in a European army), and adaptations of Stephen King's It, and Beasts of No Nation with Idris Elba. - Zeba Blay Amma Asante Age: 44 Hometown: London, England Filmography: A Way of Life (2004) and Belle (2014) Upcoming Projects: TBA There's a nine-year gap between the two films Amma Asante has directed to date, and on the surface they couldn't be more dissimilar. A Way of Life is a gritty indie flick about ruthless people living on an awful Welsh council estate; Belle is a regal period drama with a plot styled after Jane Austen romances. But both films demonstrate an intense awareness of class, though the classes each examine are on opposite extremes of the privilege scale. Though even within the same class, there are varying levels of privilege, prejudice and perception. In Belle, it's the source of struggle for a black bastard woman who is nonetheless of noble descent and independently wealthy. Asante was hailed as a breakthrough director after A Way of Life, but seemingly no level of acclaim can guarantee that a black woman can easily move upward in the film industry. With Belle, she's again receiving loads of accolades, and hopefully the prestige will stick to her this time. - Dan Schindel Kenneth Lonergan Age: 51 Hometown: New York City, New York Filmography: You Can Count On Me (2000) and Margaret (2011) Upcoming Projects: TBA With only two films to his credit – You Can Count on Me and Margaret - Kenneth Lonergan has already established himself as one of the American cinema's truly inspired authors, as well as one of its strongest auteurs. As for being an author: Margaret's screenplay is world-class literature, an impressively of-its-moment bildungsroman that finds poetry in hiccups and stammers. And as for being an auteur, Lonergan proved his chops twice over via that same movie: the chopped-up 150-minute theatrical cut is as jagged and elusive as main character Lisa's psyche, while the 180-minute extended cut uses classical needle drops and comparatively smooth transitions to elevate her plight into opera. Both versions manage to find the cinematic essence of his prose, at once elegant and cutting. That dichotomy comes alive in both Lonergan's movies: Margaret and You Can Count On Me offer sensitive, humanistic fables that are defined by stark depictions of the tragedies that so often intrude on our collective condition. So consider Lonergan the elder statesman of this list. Many kids written about here could retire on Thursday and be forgotten about by Friday. Lonergan, though – he's only an at up-and-comer by definition. He's actually already arrived. - Jake Mulligan Pablo Berger Age: 5o Hometown: Bilbao, Spain Filmography: Torremolinos 73 (2003) and Blancaneives (2012) Upcoming Projects: TBA Taking breaks between films the lengths of which would rival Kubrick, it took Pablo Berger nine years to release his follow-up to his 2003 feature debut, Torremolinos 73. Blancanieves was about as far away from that film as the ensuing time could possibly suggest. The former, a comedy about an encyclopedia salesman and his wife getting roped into the world of amateur pornography. The latter, a silent film adaptation of Snow White, transposing the characters and actions in the world of 1920s Spanish bullfighting. Far more than a pastiche or homage, Blancanieves lives and breathes the language of silent film, utilizing a minimum of intertitles and letting the framing, camera movement and, most importantly, faces tell its story. It took Berger those nine years to raise the funds for Blancanieves, in the ensuing time watching The Artist swoop in and steal the novelty of his conceit. Hopefully whatever he has yet to explore will not be so far off. - Scott Nye Haifaa Al-Mansour Age: 39 Hometown: Saudi Arabia Filmography: Women Without Shadows (2005) and Wadjda (2012) Upcoming Projects: TBA Imagine being a female filmmaker from a country in which women are not allowed to drive, vote, or be independent from male supervision. Not only is Saudi Arabia one of the few countries in the world where basic human rights are not applicable to women, but it is also a kingdom in which movie theaters are banned. Against all odds, Haifaa Al-Mansour has become a pioneer in the precarious, almost non-existent film industry of her country. Her latest work, Wadjda, is the first full-length feature ever filmed entirely inside the Saudi Kingdom, by the same token she is the first and only female filmmaker in the country, and the film itself became the first-ever Saudi Arabian submission for the Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award. With both Wadjda and her 2005 documentary Women Without Shadows, Al-Mansour has demonstrated her absolute commitment to using film as a platform to denounce the captive state in which Saudi women live. Criticized by many Islamic conservatives and equally praised by those who feel change is needed, the filmmaker is a pivotal presence in the cultural sphere of the Middle East. The international exposure she has obtained will surely only encourage her to keep on crafting films that serve both as delightful entertainment and as windows into crucial issues marked by gender inequality. - Carlos Aguilar Jeff Nichols Age: 35 Hometown: Little Rock, Arkansas Filmography: Shotgun Stories (2007), Take Shelter (2011) and Mud (2012) Upcoming Projects: Midnight Special (2014) Biblical stories given a naturalistic coat and transposed to the modern everyday have been the order of Jeff Nichols since his debut. Familial strife played out under a rural Middle-American sky in Nichols' Shotgun Stories, setting the scene for the director's half-decade of rich drama dipped in religious myth. Take Shelter, in which Nichols' regular collaborator and his own De Niro, Michael Shannon, either loses his mind or receives visions from God, was a remarkable sophomore effort, bringing armageddon to contemporary Ohio farm country, but it's Nichols' latest work that best proves the man's gift. Nichols' intentions are so well-realised in the coming-of-age movie Mud that the film takes hold in your mind and sticks there as if it were a memory of your own experience; it's a film presenting a magical, sun-dappled dream of adolescence through relatably down-and-dirty realist means. It was billed perhaps most prominently as evidence for the continuing McConaissance, but each and every actor, from high-paycheck megastars (Reese Witherspoon) to newcomer child actors (star-in-the-making Tye Sheridan) to, yes, the man of the hour himself (Matthew McConaughey has never appeared more vulnerable than as the title's hood-on-the-run), thrive under the tutelage of a director concerned with a casual reality, even when the circumstances touch upon the fantastical. - Brogan Morris Sean Durkin Age: 32 Hometown: Victoria, Canada Filmography: Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011) Upcoming Project: Janis (TBA) To instill fear into the mind of a viewer is no easy task; to do so through minimalism and ambiguity is even harder. Yet, Sean Durkin is one of the few filmmakers working today who recognizes that the most effective way to send chills down audiences' spines is to offer no clear answers as to what they're watching and merely hint at the possibility of their worst fears coming true. This is what makes his first and only feature, Martha Marcy May Marlene, such a brilliant exercise in psychological terror, and despite the fact that it's neither a horror film nor much of a thriller, it generates a more foreboding sense of dread than a majority of the most recent entries in either of those genres. The film stars Elisabeth Olsen in an extraordinary, nuanced performance as Martha, who, after escaping from a sinister cult, attempts to re-assimilate herself into contemporary society by staying with her estranged older sister Lucy (Sarah Paulson) and her fiancé Ted (Hugh Dancy) at their lake house in New England, but Martha begins to worry that members of the abusive sect she managed to run away from are plotting to bring her back to their corrupt commune. By never fully clarifying whether what's portrayed on screen is real or a figment of Martha's imagination, Durkin places the spectator in her unnerving state of paranoia, thereby racketing up both parties' anxieties in regards to being within the presence of the unknown. It's a challenging and stunningly assured debut from a director who, if he continues down this path, could very well be the American successor to Michael Haneke, and at the very least, will certainly be one to keep an eye on within the world of independent film. - Charles Nash CHECK OUT PAGE 2 FOR TEN MORE EMERGING FILMMAKERS TO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR. http://www.reviewtheworld.com/ Brian (Review the World) Great list but Kelly Reichardt totally deserves a spot. Maybe throw Ti West a bone, too. http://www.reviewtheworld.com/ Brian (Review the World) While I'm tossing out names Gaspar Noé should be on there, too. He's got a new one out next year. http://www.reviewtheworld.com/ Brian (Review the World) Chad Hartigan. His film This Is Martin Bonner was one of the most criminally underwatched gems of 2013. What a debut. And then there's Matt Porterfield, too. Lots of great talent emerging.

Emclaire Financial Corp. Reports Increased Second Quarter And Year To Date 2010 Earnings
EMLENTON, Pa., July 23, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Emclaire Financial Corp. (Nasdaq:EMCF), the parent company of The Farmers National Bank of Emlenton, reported consolidated net income available to common shareholders of $745,000 or $0.52 per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $310,000 or $0.22 per common share for the same quarter in the prior year.
Net income available to common shareholders was $1.3 million or $0.93 per common share for the current year to date period, compared to $880,000 or $0.61 per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The Corporation realized an annualized return on average common equity of 10.13% for the current year to date period.
The increases in net income of $435,000 and $449,000 for the quarter and year to date periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2009, were primarily due to increases in net interest income and noninterest income and a decrease in the provision for loan losses, partially offset by increases in noninterest expense and the provision for income taxes.Net interest income increased $676,000 and $1.1 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2009, due to an increase in interest earned on loans receivable and securities for both the quarterly and year to date periods, as the Corporation experienced solid balance sheet growth in the loan and investment security portfolios. This growth resulted from the third quarter 2009 purchase of the Titusville banking office from PNC (formerly National City), the Corporation's commitment to business development efforts and a focus on organic growth in existing banking offices during 2009 and year to date 2010. Further contributing to the increase in net interest income, interest expense on deposits decreased by $15,000 and $128,000 for the quarter and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2009, as a result of the continued prevailing low national interest rate environment. Partially offsetting these favorable trends, interest expense on borrowed funds increased by $66,000 and $102,000 for the quarter and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2009, as a result of a third quarter 2009 $5.0 million advance on a correspondent bank line of credit utilized to facilitate the aforementioned Titusville banking office purchase.

I got through Christmas without going over 200 lbs, but I haven't been losing any more.

I'd love to have an eliptical at home but I know what you mean about not liking something. My gym buys new equipment every few years and they just went to a stationary bike that I don't care for. I rarely use it now because it's not comfortable for me.
We can't wait to hear all about your workouts on your new eliptical. ;)
|Tue, 12-28-2010 - 10:24am
If I would join a gym I would probably end up not going. I like to exercise at home. I don't like having other people see me, and I'm too impatient to wait for a piece of equipment if someone else is using it.
|Sat, 01-08-2011 - 11:37am
I sold my old elliptical the first day it was advertised and the new one came on Thursday.
|Mon, 01-10-2011 - 10:00am
Oh nice! Perhaps keeping a log of how long you've been on it each day will also help keep you motivated to keep using it. :)

keep it up! do not give up. try to keep doing what you are doing for at least 2 months.

It's been 4 months since I got below 200, and even though I haven't gone above, I haven't lost any more weight.
|Wed, 02-16-2011 - 2:15pm
I myself am a very slow loser and have the worst kind of metabolism. I managed to lose my holiday weights at the end of January. But did not lose a pound since then. Only good news that I lost 1% of bodyfat (that'll be like 1.45 lbs) and gained muscle. May be that's why the scale doesn't show it....at least I hope so.

Body of boy found in Pensacola Bay
The body of a 4-year-old boy who fell off his grandfather's boat in Pensacola Bay has been recovered.
A fisherman spotted Logan Torrance Fontana's body floating in the bay on Monday afternoon. The fisherman alerted authorities who pulled the child from the water.
Officials say the child wasn't wearing a lifejacket when he fell Saturday afternoon from the 20-foot Chapparal boat owned by George "Steve" Maye.
The Pensacola News Journal reports the boy and his grandfather has spent the day fishing and playing on the beach. They removed his life jacket to wash off the sand and Maye told the child to put it back on. When he turned around, the boy was missing and the life jacket was on the floor of the boat.

The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)'s highest governing body voted Thursday to allow ministers to perform same-sex marriages.
Presbyterian clergy can now marry gay and lesbian couples wherever same-sex marriage is legal.
The Presbyterian Lay Committee released a statement repudiating the action of the PCUSA General Assembly. more >>
Pluralism, not gender and sexuality, will be the biggest issue that every evangelical Christian will face, according to one Presbyterian pastor.
Bryan Chapell warned that increasingly "it will be difficult to say in this culture that 'Jesus is the only way.'"
"That will be interpreted as hate speech," Chapell, senior pastor at Grace Presbyterian Church in Peoria, Illinois, said Wednesday at the 42nd PCA General Assembly in Houston. more >>
Last month, Southern Baptists reported its seventh straight year of declining numbers. Yet, even as the largest American Protestant denomination, along with many other Mainline denominations, continue to lose members, the charismatic Assembles of God has experienced its 24th year of attendance growth in the United States.
The Pentecostal denomination, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, reported an uptick of just over 30,000 in attendance from 2012 to 2013, bringing their total number of adherents to 3.1 million, up from 3.09 million.
According to reports from the AG National Leadership & Resource Center, in 2013 in the United States, 137,373 "water baptisms" and 83,731 "Holy Spirit baptisms" were recorded. These numbers were up from 131,713 and 81,345 respectively. The 2013 figure surpassed the previously highest number of "water baptisms," which was recorded as 131,935. "Holy Spirit Baptisms," on the other hand, were within several thousand of the past five years and roughly 2,000 more than 2012 figures. (The AG defines "Holy Spirit Baptisms" as when an individual speaks in tongues.) more >>
Pastor Ronnie Floyd, who was elected as the Southern Baptist Convention's new president during the denomination's annual meeting held in Baltimore this week, has been instrumental in encouraging members to take a leadership role in addressing an array of mental health concerns.
Last year, Floyd, senior pastor of Cross Church in Springdale, Arkansas, spoke boldly and passionately at the convention about passing a resolution on "Mental Health Concerns and the Heart of God," and the need for Southern Baptist churches to care for and bring healing to all who feel isolated and stigmatized by mental health concerns.
"We can no longer be silent about this issue," Floyd said on the convention floor in Houston on June 11, 2013. "It's time that the SBC be on the front lines of mental health challenges." more >>
More than 6,000 representatives of churches within the Southern Baptist Convention, known as messengers, are expected to address the major issues facing the nation's largest Protestant denomination, including reaching more people with the Gospel, during its two-day annual meeting in Baltimore beginning Tuesday.
SBC Executive Committee President Frank S. Page plans to issue a challenge to Southern Baptists to "do more" to reach the world with the Gospel, according to SBC Life, the executive committee's journal website. Page is scheduled to talk about the Great Commission Advance on the first day of the conference, C. Ashley Clayton, EC vice president for Cooperative Program and stewardship, told SBC Life.
"In its most condensed and basic form, Great Commission Advance calls for Southern Baptists to simply 'do more,'" Clayton said. Page is calling on members to participate more in missions at the local, state, national, and international levels. more >>
BALTIMORE, Md. – Ronnie Floyd, one of three Southern Baptist Convention presidential nominees and pastor of an Arkansas church, on Sunday blamed the denomination's declining number of baptisms on "cool" pastors who are more concerned with keeping up with popular culture than having a singular focus on glorifying God.
"Some of us have a heart to be so real with people that we just think if we're cool enough, we're going to get [the numbers]," said Floyd, senior pastor of Cross Church in northwest Arkansas. "We're never going to be cool enough to win our towns, our rural settings, to win our cities, to win the nation, to win the world, to win the nations. We're never going to be cool enough; the only thing that's going to bring that is a binding movement of the spirit of God that comes only when we are going up to be with God."
Speaking on the first night of the 2014 SBC Pastors' Conference, Floyd urged Southern Baptist pastors to re-adjust their motives in ministry and revealed several statistics showing a number of churches are struggling to evangelize the next generation's unchurched. more >>

Fandango today exclusively debuted the first four minutes of the upcoming zombie comedy, WARM BODIES. Check it out below!
Directed by Jonathan Levine ("50/50"), the new Summit Entertainment film stars Nicholas Hoult ("About a Boy," "X-Men First Class," Bryan Singer's "Jack the Giant Slayer"), Teresa Palmer ("The Sorcerer's Apprentice"), Rob Corddry and John Malkovich and opens just before Valentine's Day on February 1, 2013. Once they have watched the clip, fans of the film are encouraged to sign up for a Fandango FanAlert to receive news once tickets become available for purchase.
Fandango set a news sales record on Christmas Day (Tuesday, December 25, 2012) for its best-ever single day ticket sales in the company's 12-year history. Its previous top-selling day was on May 4, 2012, the opening day of "The Avengers."
The "Warm Bodies" debut is the latest example of exclusive content premiering on Fandango. Earlier this year, The Weinstein Company debuted the teaser trailer for Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained" on the nation's leading moviegoer destination. Also featured on Fandango is the new original series, "The Frontrunners," where chief correspondent Dave Karger gives film fans the inside track on all things awards and interviews the top Oscar contenders, including Hugh Jackman, Amy Adams and Ben Affleck. Fans can find the new series at fandango.com/thefrontrunners.
A funny new twist on a classic love story, "Warm Bodies" is a poignant tale about the power of human connection. After a zombie epidemic, R (a highly unusual zombie) encounters Julie (a human survivor), and rescues her from a zombie attack. Julie sees that R is different from the other zombies, and as the two form a special relationship in their struggle for survival, R becomes increasingly more human - setting off an exciting, romantic, and often comical chain of events that begins to transform the other zombies and maybe even the whole lifeless world.
"Warm Bodies" opens in theaters February 1.

What Just Procced
|Nov 06, 2014
|This addon feeds off the "Spell Alerts" that Blizzard added to the game in Cataclysm, incorporating many of the various HUD-type spell/proc alerting mods out there. The downside of the builtin Spell Alerts is that for new players, there's no easy way to tell which flashy thing in the middle of the screen corresponds to which flashy button on their action bars, especially when their talents are proccing often in a short period.

Respiratory artifacts appear very often in medical volumes when the subject under examination is in free respiration conditions. Such artifacts cause a severe deformation to the external body anatomy and are visible and enhanced during the 3D reconstruction of the patient surface. In this paper a dedicated approach is presented for suppressing the respiratory artifacts on planar body contours. The proposed technique leads to an efficient mechanism, which enables the qualitative and quantitative improvement of the respiratory waves on the final reconstructed mesh while preventing the original anatomical features of the body. We show examples and statistical measurements, which demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of our approach for different CT cases.

The Hazards of Low-Priced Stocks
From a low-priced standpoint, you might ask, "How in the world can you be long ZNGA, but argue against F?" That's a fair question. The answer really does not diverge much from my thoughts on Tesla.
As ugly as things look for Zynga, it has a far less uncertain way forward than Ford does. Of course, Zynga must execute, but all else being equal, Zynga controls a greater share of its destiny than Ford does. In other words, economic and political uncertainty does less to derail a low-priced stock like ZNGA than it does F.
I am more confident that Zynga will be able to successfully migrate away from Facebook (FB) and monetize mobile than I am that auto sales will continue to grow in the U.S. (and that Ford will capture a lion's share of them) and that Europe's economy will not continue to have serious problems.
I also like the chances of a short-term bounce for ZNGA. Do not overlook the that the company has minimal debt and $1.6 billion in cash. Unlike a disaster such as Research In Motion (RIMM), Zynga not only has cash, it has first-mover advantage and a leadership position in social gaming.Zynga made some mistakes -- there's no question about it. Management might have even knowingly screwed shareholders. That remains to be seen. And there's no doubt, the company absolutely has to stop CEO Mark Pincus from speaking publicly. Frankly, he does a horrendous job at it. All of that said, the market overreacted last week. The market did not overreact, however, to the unmitigated implosion that is Radio Shack (RSH). What is the way forward at Radio Shack? I usually have a plenty to say. Often too much. I've got nothing here. But I will say this: Within five years, retail outlets, brick-and-mortar and online, that do what Radio Shack does or anything close to it will be, with one or two exceptions, extinct. Best Buy (BBY) and a local/regional electronics chain here or there might survive. Best Buy could get by because it's conducting a CEO search using the same firm that encouraged the bold (and smart) move of bringing Marissa Mayer to Yahoo! (YHOO). But that CEO has got to be a Silicon Valley type like Mayer (e.g., Stephen Gillett), and the board must allow him or her to go beyond feeble attempts at change such as reduced square footage and cheap knockoffs of the Apple (AAPL) retail concept.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Arthur (29th August 2011)
Hi all,
For those of us who dabble in making our own web apps, i have come across Bootstrap by Twitter. Its a CSS framework to speed up development.
Arthur (29th August 2011)
It is a nice css library, yes. However, take the 'IE' support with a pinch of salt. IE support is patchy, at best.
If you're looking for a css library like that, also take a look at the blueprint libraries.
Speaking of Twitter, they have an open source hardware-accelerated UI framework called TwUI for Mac apps. It's used by their official Twitter client (formerly know as Tweetie).

The front page picture featured Stuart Broad celebrating with his England team-mates as his five-wicket spell helped dismiss Australia for just 160 in their first innings in the deciding Ashes Test at the Oval. Alas the picture caption had him down as Chris Broad instead. Chris Broad, as any cricket fan knows, is Stuart Broad's father, an Ashes-winning 1980s England Test cricketer turned ICC match official. What will Telegraph third umpire, AKA associate editor and style tsar Simon Heffer, make of that?

Here you see the Nike x Atmos Elephant Pack developed by Atmos Japan. The pack consists of a Nike Air Max 1 and a Court Force Low. The colors are kept rather simple with white, black and turquoise accents aside from the elephant print of course. Definitely a nice design. The sneakers are limited in Japan to 2000 pairs all together. Look out for Atmos NYC to receive some of these.
