A desire to go to overnight camp. If your children haven't said that they want to attend overnight camp, gather information about the overnight camp experience and share it with your kids, and try to get children who have attended overnight camp to speak with your youngsters about their experiences. Then, ask your children if they are interested. If they say yes, they may be ready. If they say no, they are not ready; ask again next year. Parents may become convinced that their children will benefit from and enjoy overnight camp even though the children say they don't want to attend. I occasionally hear, "If I could just get her there, I know she'll love it." Sometimes, that's true. Encouragement is fine. However, forcing kids to attend overnight camp usually backfires.
A successful experience away from home. It's best if your child has stayed overnight at least once, without you, at a relative's or friend's house, and has enjoyed it.
Ability to accomplish the tasks of daily living with little assistance. Can your child wash himself and brush his teeth? Can she comb her hair and tie her shoes? Kids usually succeed at overnight camp if they need a reminder, or even a bit of help, in accomplishing the tasks of daily living. However, as much as camp is a place to learn skills, washing, brushing and combing are best left to others to teach.
Ability to express needs. Your child needs to be able to say that she doesn't feel well, needs help learning a skill, or doesn't know where an activity is conducted. It's OK to be shy, but basic needs must be expressed.
Ability to make basic decisions. Camp involves wonderful choices and challenges. Do I swim or play soccer? Do I hang out with Jeff or Malik? Do I wear my shorts or jeans? No, a well-trained staff won't let a child wear shorts when it's cool outside; however, a child who is used to mom or dad making most decisions for her probably isn't ready for overnight camp.
Ability to interact with other children. If your child depends on you for socialization, or is afraid of most other children, overnight camp could be the perfect place to change that pattern. On the other hand, overnight camp is often problematic for kids who don't interact well with other children. If your child falls into this category, discuss the situation with the camp director before enrolling. If the camp staff is prepared for a child with special socialization needs, it may be able to turn a potential problem into a success story.
Respect for adults. Many adults will supervise your children at camp. Campers must be willing to follow directions and meet the camp's expectations, interact cordially with adults, and value adults as teachers.
Willingness to try new things. Overnight camp is magical. It has more activities and more ways to grow and build skills than any other institution. Children should be excited by the possibilities, eager to learn and willing to experience the unfamiliar.
Willingness to experience the outdoors. At most overnight camps, kids are outside much of the day. Some activities will be in the woods. New campers who've spent most of their lives inside are usually very, very happy at overnight camp. However, in order to be happy, campers must be willing to get a little dirty, to get a little wet, and to cope with an occasional bug.
If your children have all of the above qualities and you still feel they are not ready for overnight camp, you might ask yourself: Is it really you, not them, who isn't ready? Many parents tell me how worried they are to send their kids to overnight camp. I don't blame them. After all, overnight camp is usually the first time they will "let go" of their children. If you are having a difficult time letting go, I suggest that you consider this: If your children are ready, overnight camp is not only going to be an important experience for them, but it will be for you, too.
CHRIS SCHEUER is director of camping for YMCA Camping Services of Greater New York, a branch of the YMCA of Greater New York. His branch operates two traditional overnight camps; Conservation and Adventure Camp; sports camps for volleyball, gymnastics and judo; and a day camp. Chris can be reached at (845) 858-2200.

If Maxim Afinogenov's life were a Disney movie, things simply wouldn't have gone this way.
Afinogenov was once one of the up-and-coming scorers in the National Hockey League, but after years of disappointing performances he came into his own after the NHL lockout, scoring 45 goals and adding 134 points in 133 games between 2005-07. That outburst was followed by two years of declining performances, and to stay in the NHL last season he was forced to sign a one year contract with Atlanta for the somewhat meagre (by NHL standards) pay of $800,000.
But Afinogenov's willingness to take a cheap deal was rewarded; he scored 24 goals and 61 points for the Thrashers and appeared to have revitalized his NHL career. Despite that performance, however, Afinogenov couldn't get an NHL deal that appealed to him (reports indicate that Atlanta offered him a one-year deal) and is now bound for Russia's Kontinental Hockey League, reportedly inked to a five-year deal.
It's difficult to blame Afinogenov for taking the money after sacrificing it a year earlier for another NHL chance, although this hasn't stopped some people from trotting out the usual nonsense about how this shows Afinogenov simply wasn't interested in playing in the world's best league. At some point, the disparity between the dollars offered in Russia and those offered in North America matters, and it is to Afinogenov's credit that he didn't make this move last season. Obviously, he felt he deserved better after a resurgent offensive performance.
Did he, though?
Superficially, yes. Afinogenov played top-drawer competition last season, didn't get an overly favourable zone start, and scored a remarkable 2.26 points for every 60 minutes of five-on-five ice-time he played. His Corsi number wasn't bad (for the Thrashers) and he was a decent performer on the power play.
One of the peculiarities of playing in Atlanta the last few years has been the tendency of players who spend time in close proximity to Ilya Kovalchuk to see their statistics improve dramatically. Thanks to Vic Ferrari's Time On Ice, we can see that Afinogenov's goals for/against at even-strength was much better with Kovalchuk than without Kovalchuk:
- With: +20/-19 = +1
- Without: +33/-45 = -12
It's also interesting to look at Afinogenov's totals when Kovalchuk was with the team versus when he was in New Jersey. I've taken those numbers and extrapolated them over 82 games to make them more readable; additionally, I've included the Thrashers' team plus/minus over the same span and performed the same projection:
Situation | GP | G | A | PTS | +/- | Shots | Team +/- |
With Kovalchuk | 82 | 25 | 40 | 65 | -12 | 186 | -15 |
Without Kovalchuk | 82 | 21 | 30 | 51 | -27 | 170 | -30 |
It has to be kept in mind that Afinogenov was playing top opponents, and that the 'without Kovalchuk' column was based on a total of 27 games, but the numbers aren't that impressive, particularly his plus/minus, something that I attribute to Afinogenov being in over his head in the role he was playing.
Afinogenov's always been a player who required some special handling form his coaches to get the most out of him, but he probably would have been a good fit on a more sheltered line. Sadly, at the NHL level that kind of player isn't worth a long-term big-money deal; as a general manager looking to fill that kind of role I might have offered him a two-year deal worth $1.3 to $1.5 million. His ups and downs in the past as while as his blemishes simply make it too risky to offer him much more than that.
The Russian deal makes more sense for both parties: Afinogenov will be an impact player in Russia, and for the team that signs him he's worth the commitment of dollars and term. It's just a shame that we won't be able to watch such an undeniably talented player in the NHL next season.

Green Ginger, my new favorite PTC restaurant
Green Ginger is by far my new favorite PTC restaurant, http://www.greengingerptc.com/ - went there last night for the first time - they exceeded my expectations in all areas.
Decor: simply beautiful - upscale, clean, modern Asian influenced design - nothing in PTC that I'm aware of comes close.
Food: menu has basic entrees such as shrimp fried rice for the less adventurous, Thai and Chinese fusion style fare, Udon, and Sushi, and more - all beautifully presented. Each table has an iPad that shows pictures of the entrees, and the presentation of our food was just like the pictures. The Seafood Udon was fantastic, the special sushi roll was on the large size and perfectly made.
Service: our server was excellent - knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. The manager stopped by to make sure we were happy, and in general the staff did a great job at greeting us on the way in and thanking us on the way out. The food was delivered in faster than average time, which surprised me considering the house was almost full and the staff is new.
Cost: The prices are less than I expected for the quality delivered. Check your mail as Valpack has a 30% off total bill (less bar) coupon.
Cons: this is more of a municipal one: near impossible to reach by golf cart - the location is near Chilis & Taco Mac.

City officials recently announced plans to renovate the former St. Clair County Department of Human Resources building on Dr. John Haynes Drive and turn it into a library. Plans also include building a wellness center (recreation/aquatics) on the former St. Vincent's St. Clair Hospital property.
"I believe we are all excited about it," said Pat DeMotte, president of the Pell City Library Guild. "The Library Guild Board is supporting it."
Members of the Library Guild toured the old DHR building in December with Mayor Joe Funderburg and City Manager Patrick Draper.
"Once we did the tour and heard about the plans for that area from Mayor Funderburg and City Manager Draper, we realized the building seems perfect for a new library," DeMotte said. "It is three times the size of our current library, and the building seems more than adequate. From what we've been told, the building can fairly easily be transformed into a library."
DeMotte said some guild members had concerns at first, but after the tour and explanation from the mayor and city manager, she feels the guild is satisfied with the location.
"It's been a dream for years," she said. "It's nice to see the dream beginning to come true."
Barbara Fincher, Library Guild board member, said she feels the old DHR building has some good possibilities overall.
"It will require a lot of work and support from the community," she said. "As a member of the guild, I've been working towards a new library for many years, and I'm happy there is city support to move the project forward. This is something the community badly needs. The library is very important, and it's been a long road to get to this point."
Holland Powell, resource committee chairman for the Library Guild, said the area on Dr. John Haynes Drive would be a new town center once everything is completed.
"Mayor Funderburg and Patrick Draper explained how it will look when it's done," he said. "They plan to develop the whole strip, which will have the library, the wellness center, a park and then commercial development between that and Martin Street."
Powell said city officials told library guild members they also plan to improve the intersection of Dr. John Haynes Drive and Martin Street by making the road go straight through Martin Street to reach the subdivisions across the highway.
"It is currently a dog-leg intersection into Fox Hollow and those other subdivisions with no traffic light," he said.
Powell said he believes the library guild is impressed with the city's plans.
"Library Director Danny Stewart plans to engage a major library consulting firm to help plan the library renovation, and the library guild intends to help fund that," he said. "The city is doing this right — they have a plan and are moving forward with it. It will be a library of the future — a community cultural center — a place to go, not just to check out books, but for events and other activities."
The former DHR building was part of a roughly 20-acre tract between Interstate 20 and Dr. John Haynes Drive that was jointly owned by the St. Clair County Commission and the city of Pell City. The County Commission approved transferring the deed of the property to the city, and in December, the Pell City Council approved accepting the transfer of the deed.
City officials said the former DHR building is approximately 15,000 square feet, three times larger than the current library. The DHR building was vacated in August 2009 after suffering arson damage.

Walking Dead Video Game Announced [3 comments]
Posted in Gaming.
Man oh man, what an a-w-e-s-o-m-e week for lovers of the undead. On Wednesday we were blessed with a brand-spankin' new Dead Island trailer and deets. Now it's been announced that Robert Kirkman is working with Telltale Games on a "multi-year, multi-platform, mulit-title" video game based off of the graphic novel the Walking Dead.
Details are scarce, but here is what we know:
- Telltale is aiming for a Q4 2011 release.
- The game will be not only be available for consoles, but for PC, Mac, mobile and social gaming media as well.
- The setting for the game takes place in the comic book universe (can I get a Hallelujah?!).
- The game will be episodic.
To be honest, I'm a little hesitant. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for giving it a chance, but being a huge fan of the graphic novel and watching the series translate onto television so poorly (I personally don't think the first season represented the Walking Dead as well as it could have) I can't help it. Although I may not be bouncing off of the walls with excitement, I am bumping into them.
But hey, I'm hoping for the best. Fingers crossed!!!
Thanks, IGN.

Is this the first non-scripted joke of Kobe Bryant's career? He's had lines in commercials, the entirety of "Kobe Doing Work" and some thing that were funny because it's Kobe Bryant saying it — most notably declaring to Shaq that he wanted to be "the Will Smith of the NBA" — but I'm having trouble remembering an off-the-cuff gag like this.
For a first joke, it's pretty great. Coming from Kobe Bryant, even better.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Bronson Arroyo retired his first 14 batters and delivered a gem a day after 19-game winner Johnny Cueto went down with a back injury, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the San Francisco Giants 9-0 on Sunday night to head home with a 2-0 division series lead.
A pair of Ryans provided the big hits. Ryan Ludwick homered leading off the second inning for his first career playoff clout and Ryan Hanigan hit a two-run single in the fourth and a late RBI single. Jay Bruce added a two-run double and Joey Votto had three hits.
Former San Francisco skipper Dusty Baker came into his old stomping grounds and left with two commanding victories 10 years after managing the Giants within six outs of a World Series title.

Angel Olsen with Villages
Friday April 19, 2013
ANGEL OLSEN // angelolsen.com
Angel Olsen has a fresh edge to her sound, a warm and wonderful range, and an otherworldly skill and charm. Her special presence became apparent through her debut, Strange Cactiand radiates even more on her sophomore album, Half Way Home. Released last month on Bathetic Records, Half Way Home is a continuation of Angel's elegance, a collection of both new and old music, honed and matured, thoughts revisited. It presents this beautiful woman and her extraordinary voice taken to a new level, in no doubt a growth and reach brought on by many road trips with Bonnie 'Prince' Billy and crew. It's an emotional stew with Angel's robust voice up front, bold and engaging, aching to be heard. Joined by Emmett Kelly (The Cairo Gang) behind the board and playing throughout the songs, Half Way Home showcases the wondrous sounds of a songwriter with such a voice that is rarely found.

NBC's "Today" show has won ratings gold for the first time since the London Olympics in 2012.
The Nielsen company said Tuesday that the "Today" show had more viewers than ABC's usually dominant "Good Morning America" for the first week of the Sochi Olympics. With NBC the Olympics rights-holder, "Today" brought its team led by anchors Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie to Russia for morning broadcasts focused on the games.
"Today" averaged 6.22 million viewers last week, with "Good Morning America" at 6.01 million.
NBC is hoping that attention paid to the games can give a long-term kick-start to its entry in the morning competition.

A store near my daughter's house in California has peanut butter granola in the bulk food section. But I couldn't find it anywhere near my house in Illinois, so I found this recipe online and made my own. Now I'm glad I couldn't find it at the store. It's cheaper and I can control the ingredients that are used. Submitted by SRWOODSY Carbs: 46.3g | Fat: 17.4g | Fiber: 4g | Protein: 10.1g | Calories: 360.9
Great high protein alternative to oatmeal. Found this recipe in Martha Stewart magazine. My new favorite breakfast. Takes a while to cook, but you don't have to stand over it. I make four servings without the berries, store three and add the berries to one to eat. Reheat in microwave. You can add more of milk, sugar, cinnamon or blueberries when you serve it -- but remember, that adds more calories and you don't really need it.

Pierre and Lucie are siblings who feel as though their bodies are two halves of a whole. They share everything, from their time spent away from home to their sexual conquests amongst friends. When they are not discussing the emotions they share, they play in their rock band, go to clubs, get drunk, and share their bodies amongst a close-knit group of male friends. As adolescent urges and hormonal impulses reach boiling point, tensions begin to fray. One day, Pierre does not come home. With Lucie growing ever more desperate to find him, and rumours of a crime circulating, she decides to take matters into her own hands, using her new found sexual prowess to try to obtain answers in a perverse microcosm of a teen society that has until now remained out of sight, out of mind.
Drama, Gay & Lesbian, Romance
Contains strong language, sex, sexual references and incest theme

Many Central Coast residents are wondering how the trickle down effects from the U.S. credit downgrade could impact them. California's treasurer says there's no reason the ratings downgrade of the federal government should have an immediate effect on California.
As the numbers take a dive on Wall Street, what does that mean for those of us on Main Street? We went in search of answers and found John Ross, a financial adviser in Santa Maria.
"They might notice some higher interest rates in the longer term, especially if we get downgraded again, but in the short term, probably not," Ross said.
It's the first time the U.S. has lost its AAA credit rating from S&P. Ross believes politics drove the agency's decision, not the country's ability to pay it's debt.
"They're basically saying that they don't like the deal that was cut in Washington," Ross said.
Two other credit agencies have not downgraded the U.S. So far, Ross says he hasn't received many phone calls from concerned clients.
"It's so new. Nobody really has any terrific feeling for the direction of the markets or how this will play out over the next few weeks or months," he said.
What is going up is gold, shooting past $1700 an ounce and bringing business to local pawn shops.
"I didn't expect it to take that jump from Friday to today," said Bonni Diamond, one of the owners of the Diamond Jewelry and Loan in Santa Maria.
She says from gold jewelry to watches, customers are looking to cash in at her pawn shop.
"They're seeing us and they're coming in. People who have never come into our store before," Diamond said.
Gold is typically seen as a safe bet. It's nearly doubled in price since the beginning of 2009. Ross says if you are concerned about your specific investments, contact your financial adviser.
California and Illinois share the lowest state credit rating, but California has been stabilizing in recent months.

Chimpanzees are our closest animal relative – their ability to communicate, empathize and look back at us with big, expression-filled eyes has fueled human curiosity for centuries. Due to their genetic similarities, chimpanzees are also prime subjects for research. One thousand chimps are housed in research facilities here in the U.S. By one estimate, this costs taxpayers $30 million a year. Today, the Institute of Medicine released a highly anticipated report that sets new guidelines for research on chimpanzees.

Breakfast Topic: How old is your character?
Of course, this doesn't mean importing characters completely wholesale, you understand. On the RP end, you're still going to want to convert them to be born and bred citizens of Azeroth (or Outland), and either way, you may not be able to convert them to the exact race or class they were. There's just no Human Rangers or Halfling Monks in WoW, more's the pity.

It's crazy to see him so in tune with his MPC, literally banging out a beat with precision. It's not fully-realized (it still would need whatever build-ups and such added), but the main meat of the track is created right here before your eyes. No wonder they call themselves the GHETTOTEKNITIANZ.

The Conversation.
There's a little secret within the crossdressing community that goes something like this: If people only knew how many men crossdress they'd be amazed at the stories of everyday guys who are crossdressers. It's true. There are estimates that one out of every ten men would like to crossdress, or does so already – but as you might imagine it's hard to pinpoint the exact number. To gauge how many, and what kinds of men like to wear women's clothes though one only needs to look at the backgrounds and types of men that exist within the crossdressing community. What do you find? That crossdressers are EVERYWHERE!
A recent thread on the crossdressers forum reveals the variety of men that live their own adventure daily:
"I own my own electronics design biz building computer related gadgets for professional Powerpoint users." -Christine
"I am a Paramedic and was a firefighter for 6 years." – Amy
"Hi. I'm a plumber so am unable to dress at work although I sometimes underdress. When I've got paperwork to do at home I always dress as an office girl." – Barbara
"I work in Primary Care Medicine." – il
"I'm a carpenter doing mostly residential framing." – Lisa
"I'm a retired carpenter/ structural maintenance mechanic/ truck driver." – Jill
"I'm an electrical engineer." – Pamela
"I'm a daytrader" – Seville
"Passenger Train Driver for government owned railway, I always go to work in fem panties and have worn bra, tights or panty hose in the cooler months." – Kylie
"Cosmetologist (Hair stylist!), makeup artist, both conventional and permanent." – Tami
"Medical Insurance Claims Analyst" – Nicole
"I'm a Firefighter and wear panties 24/7. God help me if I ever get hurt." – Selene
"I currently overhaul hydraulic actuators for military aircraft." -Serina
"Underground Coal Mining" – Karren
"A boeing 777 co-pilot. Nothing can explain the feelings of wearing pantyhose at 35000ft!" – KE
"I am a Computer Aided Drafter for the US Army Corps of Engineers." – MixedEmotion
And the list goes on…
There's this stereotype that the types of men that are most likely to cross dress are "feminine" or "gay" men that are easy to spot, that crossdressers must be underachievers and dress for the attention of other men. Nothing could be further from the truth!
In my case throughout college I was near the top of my class. I was a DJ on a radio station that covered most of a major metropolitian area, served as president of both my high school and college class – and was in the honors society of my area of study. I've since attained a Masters degree in my field and again graduated near the top of my class. Now I'm happily married and have started my own company. My story isn't unique however. Many of the crossdressers you meet these days are successful fathers, husbands, men – who serve their companies, families, and country with honor and dignity – hardly the stereotype of "underachiever" at all.
If you don't think you know a crossdresser, I can guarantee you do. Crossdresser stories aren't hard to find at all.

as: 175 Mich.App. 637, 438 N.W.2d 272)
Court of Appeals of Michigan. In the Matter of Nicole SHAWBOOSE, minor, and Samuel Shawboose, minor. DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES, Petitioner-Appellee, v. Pamela SHAWBOOSE, Respondent-Appellant, and Samuel Landers, Respondent. Docket No. 107605. Submitted Nov. 10, 1988. Decided Jan. 6, 1989. Released for Publication April 28, 1989. Mother appealed from order of the Probate Court, Muskegon County, Neil G. Mullally, J., terminating her parental rights to her two minor children. The Court of Appeals held that: (1) probate court properly refused to apply standards of Indian Child Welfare Act, and (2) evidence supported probate court's finding of neglect. Affirmed. **273 *638 Harold L. Closz, III, Pros. Atty., and Linda S. Kaare, Asst. Pros. Atty., Muskegon, for Dept. of Social Services. David W. Marra, Muskegon, for Pamela Shawboose. James G. Olsen, Muskegon, for minor children. Before MacKENZIE, P.J., and WEAVER and QUINNELL, [FN*] JJ. FN* Edward A. Quinnell, 25th Judicial Circuit Judge, sitting on Court of Appeals by assignment pursuant to Const. 1963, Art. 6, Sec. 23, as amended 1968. PER CURIAM. Respondent Pamela Shawboose appeals as of right from a probate court order terminating *639 the parental rights to her two minor children for reasons of neglect. [FN1] We affirm. FN1. The children's father, respondent Samuel Landers, is not a party to this appeal. I [1] On appeal, respondent argues that the probate court erred in refusing to apply the standards of the Indian Child Welfare Act, 25 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq. We disagree with this contention. The Indian Child Welfare Act did not apply to this case. Therefore the probate court properly assumed jurisdiction over the minor children. First, respondent never met the prerequisite of being an enrolled member of an Indian tribe. 25 U.S.C. § 1903(4). In re Johanson, 156 Mich.App. 608, 612-613, 402 N.W.2d 13 (1986), lv. den. 428 Mich. 870 (1987). Although respondent was eligible for membership in both the Ottawa and Chippewa Indian tribes, she never took steps to enroll as a member. Moreover, respondent never sought the help of the Michigan Indian Child Welfare Agency. Second, the issue of whether the minor children were "Indian children" was one for the tribes and not for the probate court to decide, which determination was conclusive. See In re Junious M, 144 Cal.App.3d 786, 793, 193 Cal.Rptr. 40 (1983). Here, in accord with 25 U.S.C. § 1911(b), and (c), 25 U.S.C. § 1912(a), and MCR 5.980(A), the two tribes in which respondent was eligible for membership were given an opportunity to intervene in the probate court proceedings but declined jurisdiction. The Grand River Band of the Ottawa Indian Tribe **274 declined jurisdiction because respondent was more Chippewa Indian than Ottawa Indian. The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe declined jurisdiction *640 because respondent was not an enrolled member of the tribe. Accordingly, respondent's children were not "Indian children" as contemplated by the Indian Child Welfare Act. Hence the probate court did not err in declining its application. II [2] We also reject respondent's contention that the trial court erred in admitting as an exhibit the findings and recommendations of the Foster Care Review Board because the report contained hearsay statements not subject to cross-examination. During the dispositional phase of a proceeding to terminate parental rights, the Rules of Evidence do not apply. MCR 5.973(A)(4); MCR 5.974(E)(2). In re Nunn, 168 Mich.App. 203, 208, 423 N.W.2d 619 (1988). Respondent's argument that cross-examination was precluded is without merit, since MCR 5.974(E)(2) allowed respondent to cross-examine those who prepared the report if they were reasonably available. III [3] We are also unpersuaded by respondent's argument that the probate court erred by considering the best interests of the children and comparing respondent to the foster parent prior to determining that there existed grounds for termination. When seeking to terminate parental rights, the burden is on the petitioner to show by clear and convincing evidence that there exists a statutory basis for termination. MCR 5.974(A) and (E)(3). Only after a statutory basis for termination is established may the trial court exercise discretion to terminate parental rights and to consider the best interests of the children and alternative *641 homes. In re Schejbal, 131 Mich.App. 833, 836, 346 N.W.2d 597 (1984). From our review of this matter we conclude that the probate court did, by evaluating the considerable evidence concerning respondent's alcoholism and neglect of her children, establish a statutory basis for terminating respondent's parental rights before considering the best interests of the children and alternative homes. IV [4] We find no merit to respondent's contention that grounds were not established by clear and convincing evidence for termination of her parental rights on the basis of neglect, M.C.L. § 712A.19a(e); M.S.A. § 27.3178(598.19a)(e). Findings of fact which support termination of parental rights will not be reversed unless they are clearly erroneous. MCR 5.974(I); In re Cornet, 422 Mich. 274, 277, 373 N.W.2d 536 (1985). Findings are clearly erroneous when, although there is evidence to support them, this Court is left with a definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been made. Tuttle v. Dep't. of State Highways, 397 Mich. 44, 46, 243 N.W.2d 244 (1976). We find no mistake here. The evidence showed that respondent's alcoholism together with her denial of the problem, disinclination to correct it, and failure to cooperate in a treatment setting resulted in respondent's failure to provide her children with proper food and shelter as well as other physical and emotional necessities. See In re Ovalle, 140 Mich.App. 79, 83, 363 N.W.2d 731 (1985), lv. den. 422 Mich. 856 (1985). Hence respondent's neglect posed serious threats to her children's future welfare. In re Harmon, 140 Mich.App. 479, 482-483, 364 N.W.2d 354 (1985). *642 Clear and convincing evidence supports the probate court's finding of neglect. Affirmed. |

The OXD Mirror:
(Re)Introducing Florrie and a set inspired by Plastic Plates
The OXD Mirror is a weekly music column brought to you by the boys of OCCUPY THE DISCO (OXD), a New York City based collective created by three music lovers, Ru Bhatt, Josh Appelbaum, and Tad Haes, who want to share their love for disco, house and dance music with the world.
Florrie - 'Seashells'
British model/drummer/pop singer/songwriter Florrie first occupied my ears 3 years ago with 'Call 911,' which was briliantly remixed by disco mastermind Fred Falke in 2010. The song quickly became my personal favorite of that summer (the more popular 'Happiness,' by Alexis Jordan, complemented it perfectly) and I've enjoyed following her career ever since.
After notable releases like 'I Took A Little Something' and 'To The End' on various EP's, Florrie is releasing a new EP, Sirens, in April of this year – her first release since being signed to a major record label. The lead single, 'Seashells' has a heavy Middle Eastern backbone that complents Florrie's ethereal vocals, making it a nice slow burner for the dancefloor. While her debut album is rumored to be "still happening," we'll have to make do with yet another tease from the blonde bombshell, which will hopefully satiate us until the LP details are released later this year.
Tomorrow night, we're OCCUPYING Brooklyn's Cameo Gallery for OXD fan-favorite and ally, Plastic Plates' return to New York. Check out a set inspired by his pop, disco and house sensibilities, AFTER THE JUMP...

134 Chiefs of Staff Committee Minute 11/1946
Extracts [MELBOURNE], 20 March 1946
The object of this Minute is to forward, for Ministerial approval, the attached Appreciation by the Chiefs of Staff on the Strategical Position of Australia, February, 1946.
2. The Chiefs of Staff Committee stressed the highly secret nature of the attachment to this Minute, and expressed the view that its distribution and circulation should be limited to the greatest possible extent.
3. The Chiefs of Staff are of the opinion that this strategical paper (including relevant political aspects) should form a basic document for Australia's part in Empire planning, and for the determination of her post war forces and other related matters.
4. It is stated in the Appreciation that, in a war with the U.S.S.R., a major threat to Empire interests in Europe, the Middle East, and India, will always be present, and that such a threat will extend to the South Pacific, if Russia develops sea power.
5. In this connection, the Chief of the Air Staff has expressed the view that in the time required for Russia to develop sea power, it might be possible for her to establish in the Pacific, by political action, air bases from which very long range aircraft with atomic bombs could devastate vital areas, e.g. oil storage and production plants in the N.E.I., or seriously interfere with sea communications, e.g. those in the Indian Ocean east of Colombo. A major threat to Empire interests in the Pacific might therefore arise by the development of either air or sea power.
6. The Chief of the Naval Staff and the Chief of the General Staff are of the opinion that this view is covered by paragraph 44 of the Appreciation which states 'Russia can not exert a direct threat on Australia on a scale larger than a raid, unless she succeeds in her apparent determination to build up her naval strength. If, as appears possible, Russia is to become the dominant factor in the rejuvenation and rebuilding of Japan, especially in relation to the shipbuilding industry, the imminence of her becoming a potential aggressor in the Pacific would be advanced. Further if she were to dominate China (and the trend is in that direction) the situation as regards the interests of the British Commonwealth would be grave.'They recall that the second paragraph of the Appreciation refers to the need to review the paper periodically, and whenever any change in the international situation, or in scientific development, renders this necessary.
7. The Chiefs of Staff recommend that the attached paper-An Appreciation of the Strategical Position of Australia, February, 1946-be approved by the Minister.
C.G.S. (Sgd.) V. A. H. STURDEE (Sgd.) G. C. OLDHAM C.N.S. (Sgd.) L. HAMILTON Commander, C.A.S. (Sgd.) G. JONES Joint Secretary, Chiefs of Staff Committee.
20th March, 1946.
(1) The concept of strategical isolation is irreconcilable with the realities of modern war.
(2) As long as the United Nations remains in being, the problem of local defence is virtually non-existent. Should the United Nations break down, the security of every nation of the British Commonwealth will depend on the effectiveness of a plan of Empire Defence and on co-operation with the U.S.A.
(3) Provided we have in peace a firm plan of Empire defence and arrangements for co-operation with the U.S.A., the possibility of invasion in the foreseeable future can be excluded.
(4) The role of the armed forces in the next war should be the fulfilment of Australia's obligations in a wide strategical plan, and, consequently, any organisation on the basis of home defence would necessitate reorganisation and inevitable dislocation in the face of an emergency, as overseas commitments may be necessary and unavoidable in the initial stages of the war.
(5) If the forces are organised with a view to playing their part in the overall strategical plan contemplated, they would, if circumstances so required, be adaptable to the home needs without material reorganisation.
(6) The primary considerations in the organisation and training of the armed forces should be the provision of a balanced Task Force of the three Services, and the avoidance of any system which will require reorganisation or the raising of a special force on the outbreak of war.
The United Nations Charter (7) A study of the United Nations Charter leads to the following conclusions:-
(a) the only war in which Australia could be involved while the United Nations remains in being would be with a minor power;
further, it would be a war in which she would have major allies;
(b) armed forces to be maintained by Australia for the fulfilment of obligations under the Charter will be small but will need to be Permanent Forces;
(c) the facilities which Australia is under an obligation to provide may include the use of bases at Darwin, the north-west coast, and Fremantle. There is no legitimate reason under the Charter for granting base facilities elsewhere on the Australian mainland or in any of her external territories. Reference should, however, be made to paragraph 85, in which it is stressed that the U.S.A. should be afforded facilities at Manus on the understanding that we have the clear right to their joint use at all times, in peace and war, whether or not the U.S.A. is a belligerent.
(d) Australia does not require bases in any foreign territory for the purposes of the Charter;
(e) a breakdown of the United Nations would almost certainly result from an irreconcilable difference among the Big Three, and, in such an event, a resultant war might commence immediately.
Empire Defence (8) Empire co-ordination (which is referred to later) need not conflict with our obligations under the United Nations Charter, but, on the contrary, would make it possible for the British Commonwealth to contribute in a more effective manner to the needs of the Security Council.
(9) No nation of the British Commonwealth is comparable as a great power, with either the U.S.A., or the U.S.S.R., but, taken as a whole, with adequate co-ordination, the Empire is in a strong position.
(10) If the Empire can be assured of the active co-operation of the United States of America in an emergency, her position is immeasurably strengthened. On the other hand, history has shown quite clearly that International agreements entered into with all sincerity may be evaded if, subsequently, such a course is advantageous. The strategy of the British Commonwealth therefore must make provision for the less favourable conditions under which the assistance of the United States cannot be guaranteed from the outset, and in these circumstances a coordinated Empire plan becomes of added importance.
(11) All nations of the British Empire owe their individual security to the combined action of the Empire as a whole: they have a vital interest in the maintenance of Empire communications and their responsibilities towards Empire security must accordingly extend beyond the defence of their own territories. It is essential therefore, that Australia, in common with other nations of the Commonwealth, should, when necessary, throw her maximum effort into the area in which her forces are most required: it is in Australia's interests that agreement be reached with other nations of the Empire on a reciprocal basis, that her forces will be employed in accordance with an agreed over-all plan in an emergency, or when the international situation requires such action as a precautionary measure.
(12) Economy of force requires that the initial responsibility for securing Empire interests should be borne, as far as is practicable, by the nation nearest to, or most immediately affected by, events in any particular area.
(13) Standardisation of organisation, equipment, and training of the armed forces within the Empire, should be [e]ffected throughout the Commonwealth, and the revival of the Committee of imperial Defence, in the organisation of which the Dominions should be permanently represented, is an urgent necessity for planning purposes.
Regional Security (14) Arrangements for Regional Security, to be effective, must be made in relation to a wider plan and not solely on local considerations.
(15) The establishment of a regional zone of defence with New Zealand is without reason while the United Nations remains effective, and, unless it forms part of a wider plan, would invite disaster if the United Nations should break down. The Military Clauses of the Australia - New Zealand Agreement, 1944, therefore, require revision.
The Potential Enemy and the Time Factor (16) The U.S.S.R. is a potential enemy of the future, and it is at least prudent to plan our National Insurance Policy accordingly.
(17) The provision of adequate forces might postpone resort to combat indefinitely. On the other hand, weak forces will result in war being a very high probability.
(18) To ensure the protection of our vital interests against an aggressive U.S.S.R., not only will the united efforts of the nations of the British Empire in a coordinated plan be required, but the assistance of the U.S.A. will be essential.
(19) A war against the U.S.S.R. will not be confined to any one area, but whatever course it may take there will always be a major threat to the Empire's interests in Europe, the Middle East, India, and if Russia develops sea power, in the Pacific. Australia is directly concerned with the main strategic interests of the Empire in each of the areas mentioned.
Strategic Interests (20) The strategic interests of the Empire in the areas of most immediate concern to Australia are as follows:-
(a) Middle East and Indian Ocean:
(i) The integrity of British Territories which border on the Indian Ocean;
(ii) Oil resources;
(iii) The sea route debouching from the Red Sea;
(iv) The air route through the Middle East;
(v) The Middle East base for an Imperial Reserve.
(b) South East Asia and the Pacific:
(i) The security of Australia, New Zealand and Western Canada, and of their sea and air communications;
(ii) The defence of possessions and dependencies, viz., Hong Kong, Malaya, North Borneo, New Guinea and the smaller islands in the Pacific. These territories, apart from their political and economic significance, have a role in a strategical plan to ensure the security of the Dominions;
(iii) The supplies of raw materials from the Netherlands East Indies. In the event of our Persian oil fields being lost, the Empire's capacity to wage war would be seriously jeopardised should we be denied supplies of oil from the Netherlands East Indies.
Essential Requirements in the Indian Ocean (21) The following are the essential requirements in the Indian Ocean area:-
(a) Ceylon as the main operational base for controlling sea routes;
(b) Maintenance of Addu Atoll as an alternative operational base;
(c) A naval supply and repair base remote from Soviet air attack.
Kilindini is suggested;
(d) A naval escort base at Fremantle;
(e) The development and maintenance in peace of the alternative air route through the Middle East, namely, Australia-Cocos Islands-Diego Garcia-Seychelles-East Africa.
Strategy in the Pacific (22) In South East Asia and the Pacific, our basic strategy should be to control the sea and air communications leading southward from Japan and North China, and to take such offensive action as is practicable against the enemy's communications, industrial areas, ports and bases, until such time as ultimate offensive action can be launched. In order to implement this basic strategy operational bases should be established in the vicinity of the following lines:-
(a) Advanced operational bases on the line Shanghai-OkinawaIwo Jima-Wake-Midway;
(b) Intermediate operational bases on the line Formosa- Philippines-Carolines-Marshalls-Midway-Dutch Harbour;
(c) Rear operational bases on the line Hainan-North BorneoAdmiralties-Solomons-Fiji-Pearl Harbour. Although Singapore is in rear of this line, its advantages from an Empire point of view demand its inclusion as a rear operational base.
(23) Whatever agreements may be entered into in peace, the active cooperation of the United States of America from the outset in an emergency, cannot be guaranteed. Failing her immediate and full co-operation, the importance of the line of bases under (22)(c) is greatly enhanced.
(24) The south-east of Australia should be developed as an arsenal in the Pacific, analogous in function to that which the United Kingdom fulfils in the Atlantic.
(25) The existing air bases at Moresby, Nadzab, the Admiralties, Rabaul, and in the Solomons, should be maintained by Australia.
Security of Bases (26) Reliance should be placed mainly on the Navy and the Air for the security of our operational bases in the Pacific and Indian Ocean areas.
Co-operation with Foreign Powers (27) Co-operation of the Empire with the United States of America is of paramount importance. Australia should also encourage the closest co-operation with China, France, Siam, the Netherlands Indies and Portugal, with particular reference to their possessions in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Scientific Development (28) Scientific developments may necessitate revolutionary changes in the organisation, equipment and employment of the armed forces, but, in the existing state of our knowledge, it would be premature to make any major changes.
(29) Many of the conclusions in this paper may require radical revision in the light of further knowledge.
(30) There is a pressing need for the closest association between the services and scientific research on the highest plane, but, notwithstanding this need, the continuance of existing links between the individual services and science is necessary.
Collaboration with other nations of the British Commonwealth and especially with the United Kingdom is essential.
Australian Forces to be Maintained in Peace (31) Australian forces for operations in the strategic concept envisaged in this appreciation should be organised to fulfil the requirements of- (a) A Naval mobile Task Unit consisting of aircraft carriers with their escorts, capable of forming part of an Empire Task Force and co-operating with the United States Navy;
(b) A Fleet Train for the maintenance of our mobile Task Unit;
(c) A Sea Frontier Force consisting of escorts for our shipping, and for the seaward defence of our bases;
(d) Amphibious craft for combined operations;
(e) Standard Army formations designed for operations on normal terrain, and for amphibious operations, but capable of conversion to meet the conditions of jungle warfare;
(f) Army Garrison Forces for the protection of our bases against sea and air raids and for internal security;
(g) Adequate maintenance provision for the Forces under (e) and (f);
(h) An Air mobile Task Force, including units for long range missions and transportation, ready to move wherever required for strategic purposes or in support of the other Services;
(i) Air units for the protection of our bases and focal areas against sporadic raids.
