U.S. Edition
MTV's new reality series might not be as "Buckwild" as its title would suggest.
The executive producer for the program, which chronicles the reality TV-worthy antics of nine young adults living in Sissonville, West Virginia, told Entertainment Weekly that "Buckwild" is "quite the opposite of everything else on TV."
The EP, John Stevens, points to the fact that these kids aren't as attached to technology and social media as others in their age group, and that their idea of fun involves time spent hanging in the woods and riding ATVs.
"[I]t's not like looking at a train wreck. ... There is a certain coolness to it," Stevens said. "It's different than a lot of the stuff that has been produced. I think it's going to get people talking and it might change people's perspectives. These kids are totally wild and carefree. It will be very refreshing to the MTV audience."
The concept hasn't been so refreshing for West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, who called "Buckwild" a "travesty" in a letter to MTV and asked the network to cancel the show ahead of its January 3 premiere.
On the "Today" show Monday, Manchin reiterated his stance that "it's just not who we are. It's not how we were raised, and to portray this as the norm is wrong ... the viewers must understand that this is not reality, that this is not real West Virginia."
CNN has yet to receive comment from MTV on Manchin's call for cancellation. The network has ordered 10 episodes of "Buckwild," which will air in the same Thursday night timeslot that once hosted "Jersey Shore."

I am sorry for the death.I will miss gandy candy.rip Shane gande
we didn't do a darn thing....other then act..
The governor is right and always was...but hey no worries...she's had the sh-ttiest clients in history so this was a matter of acting, playing and bingo....
Maybe the gov. was right but yet he could be rong...they want to do what they do..let them live theyre lives..there not ours...maybe its a differ part of WV
would be a good start for them.
For all haters towards ~WV~ the show is just for fun!At least they are being theirselfs they just want to show how proud of who they are and where they come from! They are not hurting no one. Ppl out there are just jelious that they had the balls to make it on mtv...............
Now you are giving WV a bad name. Look at that wonderful grammar.
I agree with u wvpride
I totally agree with the Senator from West Virginia.. I absolutely think society is going downhill in the respect that they have to resort to "trash" just for ratings and to make money as unfortunately so many people will watch the show and endorse it.. What kind of an example for future generations are we setting? I really don't see too many idols that they can look up to these days, whether it be athletes, policitians, etc. It is getting worse and worse and they are pushing the envelope with every reality program, excuse me NOT reality and I do not see in the future it getting any better. How sad!!!!
Agreed it's not the best situation, but unless ur from this state, you wouldn't know how it is "economy wise". It's a lot more "sad" than any TV show out there! Put it this way....WV needs a boost....PERIOD! And if you believe this stuff is REAL and doing what they're doing is the best thing, then apparently school is the place you should be. It seems every time someone wants to bring in business (casinos, racetracks, amusement parks, etc.), WV says hell no. Take what you can since the govt is screwing the coal miners! I thunk they need to take down the sign at the border of WV...."OPEN FOR BUSINESS". Open, my a$$! Of course people like Munchin and Rock-e-fellar doesnt care....they're rich as hell! It's no wonder more and more young people leave this state day after day.....
me want tall girl to leave other indians. now.
TV = Talmud Vision
Sumner Murray Rothstein calls the shots here.
He just got a gentile to take the flack.
Our society is certainly on the way down hill when so many are ""entertained"" by watching degenerate behavior. It should be against the law to waste resources producing that trash.
I don't understand what all the fuss is about. I mean, do people take anything shown on MTV seriously?
I grew up as a teenager in WV. Yes, we got into things. We had parties in fields, we hunted and we rode ATVs. We also had a lot of fun doing it. This is actually a pretty fair representation of not what only WV kids get into, but what 'country' kids as a whole get into. If Senator Manchin is so upset over how his state acts, maybe he should consider representing another more classy state. It would be the same argument if it were a show about a bunch of elderly super religious folk, which there are plenty of too in WV by the way. Someone somewhere would be offended that they would show WV people as clinging to their Bibles like a bunch of uneducated hicks. It's as simple as this, if you don't want to watch something, change the channel. No one is holding a gun to your head making you watch.
The problem is that plenty of people "choose" to watch Jew-produced anti-white agitprop, since there's so much of it.
As for anti-nonwhite agitprop, well, that's offensive and demeaning, so there isn't any.
Couldn't have said it better myself, SomeGirl. But I have a question.....I didn't know there were "classy states" out there?! Which ones are they? LOLOL Not.
obviously the producers' personal operating values do not have a very high standard....just remember producer....reputation through affiliation......down the road this will come back to bite you professionally as well as personally.
what? Ur talking to a minor remember...cant use big words. im uneducated and need new shoes. why hasnt u left the us? U should stand by your state at least! Regardless if you leave the us. if ur state is a traitor then you are included...just like all west virginians are hillbillies..right?
Of course it's a train wreck. That's why people watch these shows......BECAUSE they feature people who are train wrecks.
How about a little originality MTV.. At least make it Buckwild in 3D!
Great, another MTV television show that I'll blatantly ignore. I miss the days when the "M" in MTV actually meant something.
Just like Teen Mom..a way to get ratings through the uneducated. This gives those involved a way to make a few bucks all the while making those that are not familiar with the actual living environment and culture think this is actually a way of life in WVA.WHAT A JOKE. All this does is boost ratings for a TV network while making the youth of today dumber. This is no way a help to anyone in anyway. It should be called GARBAGE AT ITS BEST. I wonder what these kids parents are thinking about this; I hope not happy..but ya never know do ya. MTV is not what it once was.
I am educated and I am from the country. While i never participated in stupid stunts or field parties,atv/dirt bike riding, swimming in creeks, or jumping off bridges, they did happen all around me while I was growing up (I am now 32). I find it fun to watch this because it shows a different part of America that isn't a bunch of rich people living in the city. At least these young adults either have jobs or are going to college. They are not spending time playing video games but are outside enjoying nature.
I love it...yee haw !
imbreeding is everywhere...too bad only 3% of those that are actually know they are...just a quick fact for u. And another one for you..there is at least 38% inbreeding cases in each state....google it
Jeebus... Looks like Hannibal Lecter wasn't too far off the mark with his rude comments about West Virginia...
at least our state is proud to b part of the US! Dont see us trying to break apart from the united states..traitor
Brian: What, exactly, leads you to believe that I'm from Texas? Not my screen name, surely. Google it and enlighten yourself.
And ask the President for a new pair of shoes.
whats wrong with my shoes?!? Fu@#n cyber-bullies..
Brian: Cyberbully? BWAHAHAHA!!! All apologies- I had no idea I was conversing with a minor, and one a pre-adolescent one at that. Out of your fear and ignorance you brand me a "traitor." Know what a "hypocrite" is? Go look in the mirror.
Cyberbully. Welcome to Teh Intarweb, kiddo. Sorry if I hurt your feewings. :..-(
Mancin's giving this show a lot of free publicity. I had no plans to watch until I'd heard about the show as the result of all the controversy.
But seeing the photo of the cast makes me wonder what Mancin's problem is. These kids aren't West Virginia stereotypes at all. They seem to have all their teeth, and there's diversity in the cast. I don't see any banjos, no KKK propaganda, and no coal. Seems to me like ALL of the negative stereotypes of West Virginia are missing from this show.
With all due respect to the hard working people of West Virginia, Mancin DOES know the state's got a pretty bad reputation already, right? This show may help ramp up tourism to the state, and may give us all a positive insight into the lives of youth living in rural America.
ALL states have their own bad stereotype. Hell, many of us believe California and New York have bad images. California is full of fruit loops and libs, New York is pretty much the same thing.
It really shows in just how uneducated people really are, the ones talk so much crap about WV and call everyone hillbillies, definitely shows just the intellect of people from all of these other states. I guess if we want to start pointing out the bad, maybe each should start with their own state, probably your family members should be at the top of the list! I think the show is nothing more than ignorance, and I am from Sissonville, grew up there, have lots of family and friends that live there, however to let your children be made out as being a bunch of trash is beyond me! SO YES, E.P Sato…. They have teeth, and what the heck is wrong with banjo's, and coal. It would really be nice to see your picture and what you "really" look like. I'm sure WV'S STEROTYPE, would be a much better person than most of you IDIOTS on here that have to try to bash WV and probably have never even been to the state!!! IT IS WHEN "US" HILLBILLIES ARE GLAD PEOPLE LIKE YOU DON'T LIVE IN OUR STATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Helluva fire in Sissonville the other day day, huh "Luv Living"?
Not nearly as BAD as that fat, greasy, retarded, redneck, ignorant Sweetie Pie!
Pure dreck....no surprise
these chicks are pretty hot..from everything i've seen they are ABOVE AVERAGE for west virginia women..so from that perspective i don't see how it's putting the state in a bad light..if they casted a bunch of west virginia's heaviest and ugliest that would be different
and i'm not gay but same with the guys
no...they are average...we have a hellava lot hotter than that
How hedonistic can it be? Do they all have their own teeth? Any incestuous frolicking? You mean it's just a bunch of East coast hillbillies riding ATV's out in the woods? Unless it has more entertainment value than Xbox and Internet porn, I'm out...
im sure u cant find any toothless brother/sister redneck porn...i've looked
It's always nice to see what I'm missing by not having cable.
i woulld'nt be afraid to bet that most mountain girls could easlily out drink most men around.
i use to bring home friends while in the navy and they would be a little afraid. use to take them down the hollar and let them see some real rednecks..if you think the streets folks in the city are bad these rednecks eat them for lunch. lolo
I have lived most of my life in WV but for four years I lived in Orlando, Florida. There is a small town north east of Orlando called Bithlo. Bithlo was the redneck capitol of Florida, I think the confederate flag was their towns flag (not really). The point is, rednecks are in every state. West Virginia has always been and will always be the "hillbilly" state and I'm proud of it. Yes, we like to chew tobacco, fish, hunt, drink Budweiser, and ride ATV's....and we are good at it. Go Mountaineers!
i'm proud of bangin your sister jimmer.
I want to bang Jimmer's sister too.
one thing we are "BUCK WILD."
Live Action...whoops, sorry wrong show.
Riiiiiight....um really its the same catagory as jerry springer show. Everyone knows it is what it is, mtv gradually progressed into that dark realm of "TEEN TRASH shock value JERRY SPRINGER QUALITY TV" ever since real world was created, then road rules...then teen mom, sweet 16, jersey shore. lol why doesnt mtv shut up they always sound stupid trying to defend their programming.
I like the feel of turd squished between my toes.
I was alive and was lucky enough to see the birth of MTV.....(Hat was when Music TV actually played MUSIC!......little did any of us think that what we thought was kick ass music videos would change to what can only be described as Moron TV......the crap they show now is a good part of why todays youth are as stupid as they are to the ways of the real world....o wait I forgot any youth reading this might think I'm talking abot another moronic show on the Moron TV network......BRING BACK THE MUSIC!
I smell an explosion comin on!
Ha!!! Dude. Just heard about it on the radio. Very good sir.
Yes, because it's just hilarious when a major gas line explodes, causing enormous amounts of damage and injuring innocent people. Hilarious, I say, hilarious. Get a life.
we need to pray have hope for the children. frigid is nice and toasty now. enjoy the rest of you fantastic day ahead of you. let me see a smile. come on.
Unfortunately, these kids have no idea how their "boring" lives will be forever ruined by the exploitation of an MTV "reality" series. In just about everyone's teen years there were some pretty wild antics but it was not perpetual and probably not as constantly booze-driven as MTV makes sure these kids' antics are/will be. West Virginia is a state of such beauty and is so misunderstood as far as its citizens and this isn't going to help anything. Team Manchin.
the filthy children in the field do not know what they are doing....it is up to us as adults to try and make them understand that. pray for these kids.
The show is just plain stupid
we should always be positive even for the trash - i know i try to be.
I hope there is toxic waste on there land so they cannot reproduce or if they do they would be on discovery health and not MTV.
If you are going to go so far as to say you hope that we (the people of West Virginia) cannot reproduce, at least do so in a grammatically correct manner in an effort to at least support your point of view. Every state has people they are not proud of, West Virginia included. Not every citizen of West Virginia behaves in such a way as this ignorant television show portrays. So, yes, I will stoop to your level, and tell you to shut your face and move on.
i completely agree
this isnt facebook............misclick.
If you're trying to be funny by referencing the movie "Wrong Turn," it wasn't even filmed in West Virginia. It was filmed in Ontario, Canada. Google it. It's everywhere. So, if you've never been to our state, you do not know how our people act; which if you've ever been here and interacted with the people of West Virginia, you would know that the movie Wrong Turn did us no justice.
no seriously....looking for my facebook...
well said justin
I hear those chicks dig mullets
i am still voting for the tall girl with the animal t-shirt....she's the smartest and the cleanest.
how can u tell? U know it takes a drug addict to see a drug addict, right? Is she holding?
if you were a goodboy–this would not be happening. now drink your chocolate milk to get rid of the hangover.
II love this show. No cell phones here, just good old friends. Yeehaaa
great job!
Another brain-less & soul-less production brought to you by MTV – people, please do something more productive with your lives & time than watching all this garbage that the networks are selling you.
More genius kids in the making...
Who cares about W Va I have no inclination to see on tv how kids grow up in W Va I could careless , they all look like losers anyway and MTV sucks haven't watched MTV for 10 yrs since I was prolly 8!
thats the point idiot. U need to start reading the stories before u post on them. It has nothin to do with how kids in wv grow up they just gonna follow a few teenagers around and say this is how wv kids grow up..poor wv, those teens have alot on their shoulders...they maybe make wv look bad like everyone else haha
what does duelin banjos have to do with this? If ur impling the movie deliverance that wasnt in west virginia...it was georgia if my memory serves me well..
what does duelin banjos have to do with this? If ur referencing the movie deliverance that wasnt in west virginia...it was georgia if my memory serves me well..
totally agree Howard
That's not who we are here buddy. That is another ridiculous show to make us look bad. People here work hard, yes we have fun, but that is pushing the limits.
o i c u deleted ur post about the duelin banjos...poster name was "peace" btw...
MTV = Media Taping Victims! STOP THE HATE!
excuse me
Being a resident of West Virginia, I must say that I am supportive of both sides on this "issue". Defending MTV's case, there is a slight sigh of relief from their preordained niche of rich, city dwellers who have nothing else to do with their time but to go shopping with Daddy's plastic and bar-hopping at night, only to wake up in the morning to repeat the process. On the other hand, to defend my fellow West Virginians: West Virginia has been beaten, broken and scarred from previous "renditions" of what Hollywood and others believe we must be like. It's a shame we are so easily judged as a whole based on a few movies. Now, I am not saying West Virginia is the perfect state nor am I saying West Virginia is better than any other state, but keep in mind we all have bad apples. Just because the apples are bad, doesn't mean the tree is bad. West Virginia is looked at as a bad tree. In my honest opinion, I dont think this series is gonna make our forest look any better.
West Virginia is a beautiful state with very intelligent people throughout the state. I agree that this show is just going to make our forest look worse. MTV is exploiting the fact that these families need money due to the economic trouble that has affected the entire nation. The lure of money is a very powerful motivator to do crazy things. I was born and raised in the glorious state and hate when people see things like this and are ignorant enough to believe this is the way everyone is.
Looks like a special ed version of Jersey Shore based purely on shock value. That Senator must be stupid for thinking MTV cares and is only adding publicity for the show. I bet more WV watch it than anyother state.
I rest my case.
I have to admit though. A "special ed" version of Jersey Shore would most likely be more watchable.
This is not real WV. This is trash. I am sick of people trying to make us look like trash. And I grant you not many West Virginians are going to be proud of this.
at least 2 of em have nice racks.. sadly not the ones with cute faces though..
I thought I heard dueling banjos when I opened this 1.
i see what u did there...not cool brah
Doesn't Manchin have bigger issues to tackle rather than what's on MTV???
It shows WV for what it is a wild state full of wild people.
6 girls, 3 guys. Nice odds.
Especially if a few of those girls are their sisters.
wow, really? R u like 12?

International Edition
Editor's Note: Josh Ruxin is the director of Health Builders, the author of "A Thousand Hills to Heaven" and can frequently be found tweaking recipes and mixing drinks at Heaven Restaurant in Kigali, Rwanda.
After we were married eight years ago, I convinced my wife, Alissa, to leave New York City to move with me to Rwanda.
We both had always wanted to have some impact on health and poverty somewhere on the African continent, and Rwanda was easily our first pick. I had worked in different capacities with the government since the late 1990s, and had been moved by the country's ambition to become the "Singapore of Africa."
Although reminders of the 1994 genocide were fresh, the country was moving rapidly on its promise to build a new nation. Great public health projects were afoot, and the young president was romancing private investment from all over the world. My wife bravely took the plunge, sight unseen. She expected the worst.
What she saw amazed her: The country was, and is, remarkably clean and safe - well beyond what you would find in other nations on the continent. It was cleaner and safer, day and night, than you'll find in many parts of New York City. There were no bribes to be paid, construction was happening at a staggering rate and the weather was like Southern California year-round. She set to work with orphans of the genocide, many of whom were in need of scholarships for university education. There was a flurry of aid programs at the time for agriculture, childhood health, AIDS and education. The deep challenge for the nation was to build a tax base to sustain that growth and improvement after the rescue dollars faded. The country needed jobs and economic growth. It wasn't enough to help the kids get educated, they needed jobs after getting their diplomas. They also needed temporary jobs to help them finance that education, as there certainly weren't scholarships for everyone. Where were those?
But, Rwanda had a big tourism hook: the amazing gorillas up on the misty volcanoes made famous by Dian Fossey. Many jobs surrounded those safaris. When the tourists wanted a great meal to fortify them for their hikes, there was nada. Coffee? Hit-or-miss in spite of producing some of the world's best for export. Alissa saw the future.
She and I love great food. Although she's no cook (I wear the apron in the relationship - that's how I captured her heart), she hunts down the best possible food experiences wherever we're traveling. Rwanda, at that time, was a food lover's wasteland. Standard fare was goat, beef or fish brochettes with fries. Restaurant service was somewhat of an oxymoron - we'd arrive, wait half an hour for a menu, find out that most of the menu was unavailable, then wait as much as two hours to be served a flavorless meal. It was no wonder most Rwandans preferred staying home to eating out. To boot, the very culture of eating - perhaps due to food's scarcity in lean times - frowned on public consumption. You wouldn't see people hawking tasty street food as is the norm elsewhere.
Against this backdrop, Alissa decided a world-class restaurant and training facility was the way to go. Sure, she had no experience in construction, or in running a business, but she did have that thing that Americans are known for: wild, joyful confidence.
The first few months after opening Heaven, our restaurant, were rough. We worked into the wee hours and struggled to break even. Figuring out pricing, timing, customer service and even securing a steady supply of ice made for daily trials. Most of our servers had never set foot in a restaurant, and certainly none had ever worked in a great one.
When customers were seated, the staff's instinct was to fade into the shadows and wait to be called on rather than to proactively engage. Even smiling did not come naturally and most adopted solemn dispositions. Those behaviors didn't exactly move our mojitos.
Little by little, the staff started to get the hang of it. Word of our guacamole spread through the city, and the team's growing sparkle earned loyal customers.
The kitchen was one of the toughest challenges. The cooks wanted to cook up "Belgian"-style food, like boiled potatoes, that were the lesser artifacts of colonial days. We wanted fusion. That's when Alissa noticed that the dishwasher, Solange, was cooking staff meals in the kitchen. The staff reported that she was indeed the best cook. Promotion granted.
Over the years, Solange has trained under Michelin-starred chefs, one of whom asserts that she makes the best risotto à la minute anywhere. Not bad for a survivor of the genocide who is the first member of her family to go to university and supports a dozen relatives.
That's what real poverty reduction looks like, and Heaven is serving it up. Actually, Rwanda is serving it up in nicely sized portions, every day of the year.

Heaven is, well, heaven. Between the food, the ambiance, and the mission, I give it five stars. Looking forward to my next visit!
Hi Josh, there is no doubt you are a good writer and good person. However, all your recent writing about Heaven restaurant are addressed to the western audience ( and small rwandan elite who have accesss to cnn and english). Also you make it sound like Heaven rwstaurant is the real heaven for the poor and survivors of the genocide, which is is easy to believe when we read it from this side of the world (NYC)but it is not true. Its surely an amazing restaurant, that other competitors will learn from and help build the private sector and hospitality industry. But we both know that it is not a non-profit, or how much % of your proceedings go to the helpof the poor, scholarships, i am sure very little to none. So Heaven is great as a restaurant, just like other innovative restaurant that were started recently: papyrus, lebaneese, zen, chocolat,.. to name few, and that none of these happen to get the priviledge of publicy to cnn, nytimes – but above all, none of these claims to have become the savior of the genocide survivors. If there was any project you helped implement in Rwanda that deserves full credit of healing the scars of the genocide, that is "The Access Project", MVP and Health Works. Endless, buitfiful articles can come from these and would be much more appreciated even by the Rwandan audience abd the geneocide survivors themselves ( more than articles on just an elite restaurant in the capital city)
I truly thank you for the amazing work you have done for the people of Rwanda
BIZIMANA sounds not so Rwandan !! u full of hatred who hates good over Bad if i may ask you what's other alternative do u have to create more jobs in the country like Rwanda ? that 's a good thing this couple could ever do to lift some pps out of poverty and still make their money !! nothing comes free u know ..
As a sponsor of a young Rwandan girl through Compassion International I am so pleased to hear about Heaven and the wonderful work Josh and Alissa have started in Kigali! Bravo to you and your brave team! Poverty and war so often tell victims that they don't matter, that nothing will change and they are forever locked into a destiny. Thank you for showing them a new opportunity and for introducing the rest of us to a very different look into the county. I so can't wait to meet our girl one day! And I pray more innovative restaurants and businesses are on the way...Blessings and a Merry Christmas to all there!
I've eaten at Heaven, Rwanda was a wonderful and heartbreaking experience (no, I didn't go for the gorillas) and Heaven is on par with any fine restuarant you'd find in the US. I'd also recommend Republika restaurant, which is run by a entreprenuring Rwandan woman. Everything the article mentioned about how safe the country was is absolutely true - Edwin, travel there, you will not be disappointed. Bizimana, you're absolutely right ... the rich white foreigners should have stayed home and done nothing. Maybe someone else would have stepped up.
Rwanda definitely has a bad reputation. Glad to hear that my fears were unfounded. Maybe someday I'll travel there.
Bizimana, you knocked the restaurant's poverty reduction model that showed one cook supporting many relatives with her job, but you did not offer a better solution. It sounded like that restaurant also attracted tourist dollars, taught basic skills that transfer into other areas of life...and probably inspired many more ideas. Kudos to the couple!
The poverty reduction model for Rwanda is for white foreigners to come into the capital city of the country and hire them as serving staff? Teaching these poor uneducated black folk all the skills to serve food properly for affluent white tourists isn't exactly a model for development or alleviating poverty.
Unemployment is an enormous problem in Rwanda!! What would you suggest instead of teaching these skills and offering fair wages? And aiding in the support of others? Btw, I happen to know that they gave free space for the first AA meetings in Kigali. Before you sound and act so judmental, perhaps you should have more facts....
Good for them.

In a prospective study, researchers found that endoscopic ultrasound helped distinguish between patients believed to have bile duct stones who need therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and those who don't. The approach has the potential to lead to earlier discharge for some patients, cutting costs, say the researchers, who recommend endoscopic ultrasound be added to the routine screening of patients believed to have common bile duct stones.

Maybelline Color Whispers are available in 20 shades: Go Nude, Bare to be Bold, Some Like it Taupe, Mocha Muse, Lust for Blush, Pin Up Peach, Coral Ambition, Orange Attitude, Wow Red-Reder, Cherry on Top, One Size Fits Pearl, Petal Rebel, Pink Possibilities, Faint for Fuchsia, Rose of Attraction, Made it Mauve, Berry Ready, Oh La Lilac, Mad for Magenta, and A Plum Prospect.
I purchased Lust for Blush, Pin Up Peach, Coral Ambition, and Bare to be Bold. Please refer to my reviews for these individual shades for a description of each shade. For my next trip to the drugstore I'm definitely picking up Orange Attitude and Pink Possibilities next, because these are fantastic!
Color Whispers aren't tinted lip balms; they're sheer lipsticks. Maybelline doesn't claim these to be pigmented, nor do they claim these to be moisturizing, so for those of you complaining about that, you can't really blame Maybelline for that.
Prior to testing these out, I expected them to be glossy, sheer lipsticks that wouldn't last more than a few hours and would be somewhat drying.
Well, I was right. The pigmentation is subtle but noticeable. On my medium-pigmented lips, I would say the pigmentation is about light-to-medium, although its smooth formula allows it to be buildable. I wouldn't bother with these if you have pigmented lips. It does give a little bit of a slip, and it only lasted about 4-ish hours, but reapplication isn't a big deal to me anyway. The finish is shiny, but not mirror-shine glossy. It's not very moisturizing, but it's not drying either. I find wearing a lip balm underneath helps.
One of my favorite aspects of Color Whispers is the shade selection. More often than not, I'm often intrigued by a product's concept, but then I'm disappointed with the shade selection, so I move onto another product. This is what happened with Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters. I like the Lip Butters, but the shades are no-go, plus the name is misleading--they're more like opaque, creamy, heavy lipsticks than what you imagine when you hear "lip butter". Color Whispers, on the other hand, have shades that appeal more to me, and the formula is smooth, but lightweight and semi-sheer.
In other words, these are PERFECT for me.
I'm not too keen on the packaging--it looks kind of cheap, and I prefer Revlon Lip Butters' packaging more--but it's sturdy, and therefore tolerable.
They retail for about $6-$7 each.
Would I repurchase? Yes.

These are ok. They really arent anything to get excited about. They are similar to revlon lip butters but with less pigmentation. And people they are SUPPOSED to be sheer why do you think its called "color whisper" come on......anyways..I love the color they give (more than a balm but less than a lipstick) but the problems I have with these are
1. VERY strong fragrance...if you are sensitive to scented products you wont like these, they are heavily scented (scented perfume - they have no taste)
2. The packaging is...eh. I would like them a lot more if they were packaged like a lip balm because they can be applied like a balm (without a mirror).
I probably wont buy them again but they were fun to try.
I got this in bare to be bold ,wich is a pale sheer nude, and got also,some like it taupe wich is a sheer pale beige.Enought pigmented to be seen,but sheer enought to look natural!Creamy and smooth texture,hold on long enought,but must reapply in the day! Nice choice of colors! Love it!

I bought this lip color today in "Bare to be Bold". When I first saw it, I thought that the look of the product itself looked really nice, and it was only about $6 so I decided to give it a try. When I first put it on, I thought it looked a little odd on my lips, especially since they were dried out. About 5 minutes later when I looked at my lips again, I noticed that the color blended out perfectly on my lips and you couldn't even see the dryness on my lips anymore. It also smells really nice too. All in all, it is a very good drug store product and I'm very glad I bought it!

About me: NW10-15 (neutral-cool toned, very fair), blue eyes, Color season is True Summer, Baumann Skin Type is OSPW.
I purchased this product in "Pin Up Peach". I really like this product. It seems Maybelline waited and took the best of the Revlon Lip Butters and L'Oreal Caresse and put it together in these guys. My complaint about the Revlon Lip Butters was that it was too dry a formula, so that the opacity was ruined when it got stuck in dry cracks in the lips and didn't ever settle into the lips. My complaint about the L'Oreal version was that it had too much slip, giving it a false sense of "moisture" while sheering out the color too much and causing the lipstick to glide all over the lip and not wear long at all.
Maybelline's Color Whisper has just enough pigment to be visible, and it seems to be pretty buildable with a couple layers. The formula also seems superior to that of Revlon's and L'Oreal's, as it glides on very nicely, but does not get stuck on dry cracks or slide right off the lip. Well done Maybelline. I will be purchasing many more of this product.
"Pin Up Peach" is a beautiful coral color, slightly more orange than pink on my lips. A hint of gold shimmer, but not too much to be distracting, just enough to give it some luminosity and dimension.

This is my all-time favorite lip product by Maybelline. I bought a nude color and a peach color over the weekend, and I loved them so much, I bought two more today. At less than six bucks each, these are a super affordable alternative to people who aren't crazy about the Revlon Lip Butters. Personally, I think these are much better. The color comes off slightly more sheer, but the product glides on so smoothly, it feels amazing on the lips. I feel like the darker colors have a little more color pay-off, but you can get a decent amount of coverage no matter what color you choose. These are now my go-to moisturizing lip products. I definitely recommend them! PLUS--omg. The packaging. It's the cutest freaking thing EVER. Good job, Maybelline. This one's a keeper.

I really wanted to like this product, but I didn't like how it settled into the lips of my lips. Maybe my lines are really deep?? But I've never had a problem like this before. Going back to my Revlon lip butters.
Colours are really pretty though, and when you press your lips together and the pigment is all spread out, it gives your lips a nice flush.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
would recommend going for the darker colors because the lighter ones will not show up on your lips since they are so sheer and the color is hard to build up
if you have little to no pigmentation to your lips, the pale pink colors might work for you but on me they just made my lips look glossy, no color what so ever
packaging looks cute but a bit cheap
doesn't really last long on lips
would recommend this for younger girls who just want a little bit of color and some shine
cute product but wouldnt repurchase
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Performance: I really enjoy the feel of this lip product. It's smooth, moisturizing, and has a slight gloss to the lips.I find that even though it has a slicker feel, it stayed on my lips for well over 4 hours. It also stained my lips a tiny bit, which I didn't mind at all since the stain was smooth and uniform and looked natural. Also, it smells like Fruity Pebbles!
Me: I'm a neutral medium-light tone with dark hair and eyes and slightly pigmented lips, for reference.
Color: I bought one in Made-It-Mauve.The color I got makes my lips look like my lips but slightly redder or more flushed in a very natural way. It shows up as a sheer tint of neutral berry tone on my lips.
Packing: Really appealing and cute. I love jelly and see-through pink and coral colored packaging so I love the packing for this line a lot! It's also a slimmer tube which I like.

Green Awareness Finding Increasing Acceptance Among Mid-East Developers; Expert Predicts Sustainability Trends for 2013
As the Middle East construction industry gains momentum though 2013, Saeed Alabbar of AESG share his thoughts on the top sustainability trends for the year
January 15, 2013 9:50 by Colin_Saldanha
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, 14 January 2013- The Middle East has often been criticized for its excessive consumption of resources as was confirmed by a 2012 Living Planet Report1 which named Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates as the top three countries having the largest per capita ecological footprints in the world. The situation is ripe for change and developers across the region are now giving serious thought to the impact of sustainability and green construction concepts on their profits and cost savings targets. Saeed Alabbar, Director at AESG, a leading energy and sustainability consultancy in the Middle East, shares his insights into what he believes will be the top sustainability trends for the construction industry in 2013.
After steady growth through 2012, the Middle East construction market looks set to once again regain the momentum of the pre-recession era. Countries across the Middle East, particularly Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, have announced plans for major development undertakings. Experts predict USD 4.3 trillion worth of construction projects across the MENA region over the next decade, representing a growth of 20% through 2020.
Now taking center stage in discussions within the industry is the issue of sustainable construction. As far as new projects are concerned, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done in translating good sustainable designs into sustainable buildings. For a number of projects in the region, lack of quality control in construction or poor commissioning have resulted in great intentions on paper not transpiring into reality.
With regard to the existing building stock, whilst an increasing number of facility and building owners are looking to manage their energy and water consumption more effectively, this only accounts for a fraction of the existing building stock in the region.
Commercial and Residential Projects to Strive for High Levels of Sustainability
While sustainability has been a buzz word in the industry for a number of years, we are now definitely witnessing a genuine drive of new development projects in pursuing increasingly higher levels of sustainability. This is driven partly by regulation but also due to developers realizing that sustainability offers a genuine opportunity to increase the value of their assets and also ensure that their assets are future-proofed. Commercial as well as private buildings will begin to incorporate green design elements in their construction in order to limit the amount of damage they do to the environment as well as to be as energy efficient as possible.
Continued Growth in Public Sector Projects
Throughout the region there is a commitment from governments to invest in social and commercial infrastructure. In order to increase the financial efficiency of these projects both during construction and operation, government agencies are increasingly turning to sustainability and energy efficiency as a means of reducing the lifecycle costs of these buildings.
AESG has been working closely with a number of public sector clients on projects that include major ports, airports, schools and government buildings. The results of these efforts have led to reductions in government spending on utility bills and infrastructure which ultimately translates to freed up revenue for more 'constructive' purposes. As massive infrastructure projects are due to get underway during 2013, developers will be keen to look at innovative means to reduce the energy impact of these construction both during construction as well as operational phases.
Commissioning will be Viewed with Greater Importance
Traditionally in the Middle East, commissioning of buildings has not been carried out effectively which has resulted in many buildings performing poorly during operation and therefore requiring frequent maintenance.
Judging by the feedback through 2012 however, we are likely to see an increasing number of developers choosing to utilize commissioning agents on projects to ensure a more effective transition between design, construction and operation stages of projects. Commissioning agents will be increasingly called upon to identify potential savings in capital costs for clients by better optimizing designs and streamlining the testing and commissioning process, such that building owners receive a better functioning building at the start of operation.
Increase in Energy Retrofit Projects
Due to recent increases in utility tariff's, the economic downturn and a greater focus on energy and sustainability issues, facility owners and operators are paying greater attention to their utility bills. Conducting detailed energy audits of facilities has shown that buildings can save approximately 20% of their energy bill through low to no cost measures alone, that all pay back within 12 to 18 months with an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) upwards of 40%. As far as investment decisions go this is a no-brainer and during 2013, building owners are likely to realize this and take measures to reduce their energy consumption.
While these trends only scratch the surface of green building, they are indicative of the positive direction in which the industry is heading. 2013 looks poised to be a year for massive growth of the green building market and the onus is now upon facility owners and managers, and architects and design teams to 'think green' lest they find themselves in the red.
About AESG
AESG specialises in providing cost effective solutions in reducing the ecological footprint of the built environment. As an Emirati owned and operated company, it is committed to driving sustainability in the UAE and the Middle East and is focused on delivering the highest levels of sustainability in its projects.

The company is also represented on the Steering Committee of the World Green Building Council MENA Network. This involvement allows AESG to be at the forefront- driving the building industry in the region to more sustainable solutions. AESG actively works with government departments and academic institutions to help shape the future of the building industry.

U.S. Edition
Here's what's been going on in the world of space news recently:
NASA announces multiyear Mars program
The Curiosity rover has been busily driving, scooping and analyzing material on the Red Planet, but there is lots more to be done on Mars. NASA has made plans for a new multiyear Mars exploration program, including the development of a new robotic science rover set to launch in 2020.
The development and design of the next rover will be based on the same architecture as Curiosity, keeping costs down while delivering it to Mars in a way that has already been shown to work.
NASA says the new mission is a significant step to ensure the United States maintains leadership in Red Planet exploration. The United States is determined to send Astronauts back to space sometime in the 2030s.
Including this one, there are seven NASA missions either under way or being planned to study Mars.
Scientists find Green Bean galaxies in space
Observations from the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope detected an unusual bright green galaxy that displays the largest and brightest glowing regions ever seen in the universe.
"They are so huge and bright that they can be observed in great detail, despite their large distances," according to a statement from the European Southern Observatory.
Researchers found 16 more galaxies with similar properties and gave the group of galaxies a new name based on their unusual appearance.
"This new class of galaxies has been nicknamed Green Bean galaxies because of their color and because they are superficially similar to, but larger than, green pea galaxies," the statement added.
A new look at our planet at night
A NASA and NOAA satellite called Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership has revealed high-resolution images of our planet at night. Data from the new images shows light from natural and man-made objects on the globe in unprecedented detail. That's thanks to a sensor called the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite, or VIIRS.
"Satellites in the U.S defense Meteorological Satellite program have been making observations with low-light sensors for 40 years, but the VIIRS day-night band can detect and resolve Earth's night lights," a NASA statement explained.
NOAA Weather Service's forecast office in California uses VIIRS day-night band to improve monitoring and forecasting of dense fog and low clouds at high air traffic coastal airports such as San Francisco airport.

It's easy enough to offer righteous indignation about censoring presidential debates. After all, barring major third-party candidates from going head-to-head with the big boys is universally unpopularin spite of the fact that not even the most impassioned critics of such sanctioned political muzzling could make a convincing case that inclusion would change the election outcome all that much.
But there's a point at which even the most earth-lovin', vegetarian, no-animal-testing shampooers (on the left) and black-helicopter-fearing, militia-joining, U.N.-hating gun toters (on the right) just have to roll their eyes at third-party candidates.
While the Green Party's Ralph Nader and the Reform Party's Patrick Buchanan happen to have solid accomplishments and commonsense approaches on their sides, most of the lesser-known independents who will be listed as presidential candidates in some combination of the 50 states are loyalists to platforms that are, well, nothing short of laughable. This alternative weekly receives its share of pleadings from ardent political activists who have long rejected what nevertheless remains a political truism: We are a two-party society. They want coverage, they want analysis, and they want play for their candidates.
Some have gotten itwell, really only one. That's Libertarian Harry Browne, mostly because he lives in Franklin, but certainly not because his party's platform is any less unrealistic than some of the other guys'. In fact, if it weren't for Browne's incredibly articulate and professional demeanor, the party in favor of eliminating most of the federal government, legalizing prostitution, and decriminalizing drugsamong other things that have virtually no support among American voterswouldn't have gotten the attention it has.
Suffice it to say that the Scene does not plan to write aboutat least not with a straight faceNatural Law Party candidate John Hagelin, whose answer to crime is basically to light some candles for assault-weapon-carrying drug dealers and rapists and give them a massage. "The combined stress of all the individuals in society builds up and creates a dangerous, criminal atmosphere in the whole community," Hagelin says on his Web site. "This societal stress and tension becomes a breeding ground for more crime and violence. Thus, to reduce crime, stress must be reduced in at-risk individuals and throughout society.... The Natural Law Party offers systematic, scientifically proven programs to reduce stress in the individual and throughout societythus eliminating the root cause of crime."
At least one such program, Hagelin says, is transcendental meditation, which "has been scientifically shown to reduce individual and social stress." He goes on to say that "The Natural Law Party envisions an America free of crime, where all citizens live fully in accord with both natural law and national law; where people freely move on the streets without fear; and where Americans live and work together harmoniously for both their own fulfillment and the national good." (Hagelin, by the way, is on the ballot in Tennessee, in case this sounds good to any of you voters.)
The Scene is also unlikely to writeagain, with a straight faceabout Constitution Party candidate Howard Phillips' upcoming Franklin appearance. Nothing personal. We just happen to think that not many voters, much less readers, support or even want to know about legislation against homosexual conduct or instituting term limits for broadcast licenses, which would put Dan Rather and Peter Jennings in the unemployment line.
While everyone at some point or another has had some beef with the media, we don't think many people subscribe to the kind of paranoia the Constitution Party peddles. "Big Media," its Web site says, "is responsible for much of the ignorance and misinformation which has been directed to the American people." (Phillips is also on the ballot here, for those of you who support turning the federal Education Department into a ghost town.)
Tennessee voters will have nine presidential candidates to choose from when they step into voting booths Nov. 7, and chances are pretty good they won't have heard of many of them.
Trust us, there's a good reason for that.
Never let it be said that the Gore press machine is not a productive bunch. Just since last month, the campaign's press office has e-mailed a whopping 162 missives to the Scene. What is even more notable than the sheer volume of political propaganda is the quality of that information.
It would be fair to say that the substance of these hastily written, mass-produced proselytizations contains the same sort of truth-to-fiction ratios that candidate Gore is known for. This week, for example, The New York Times quoted three Texas Democrats as saying George W. Bush has misled voters about his health care record. Once processed through the Gore machine, the story became that the Times itself had offered that criticism.

Nicholas Smith, Japan Strategist at CLSA, outlines how global risk events like the political upheaval in Greece could move Japan's benchmark index and the yen.
Tony Nash, Managing Director, IHS questions if aggressive easing is the only solution to Japan's deflation battle as overall investment, which is crucial to perk up the economy, remains sluggish.
Jesper Koll, MD & Head of Japanese Equity Research, JPMorgan Securities sheds light on Japan's incentives to raise base pay that the government hopes will result in higher consumer spending.
The G-7 statement and after-statement rocked currency markets and left investors wondering what was really intended. This strategist says it's all just talk.
February's Bank of Japan meeting should be less action-packed than January's, which saw unprecedented steps to revive a weak economy. Still, the meeting is important, especially as the central bank prepares to usher in a change in its top policy makers, analysts say.
Peter Whitley, Senior FX Analyst at Thomson Reuters says to expect more volatility in the yen ahead of the BOJ meeting.
Takuji Okubo, Chief Economist, Japan Macro Advisors sees dollar/ yen rising to the 95 -110 area. He says the Bank of Japan's stimulus will be put on the back-burner until new management takes over.
Asian Development Bank President Haruhiko Kuroda said two years was an appropriate time frame for the Bank of Japan to meet its new inflation goal, but declined to comment on whether he was in the running to take over at the central bank next month.
Clem Chambers, CEO, ADVFN says inflation is the easiest way for major economies to reduce the value of their debt. He says monetizing debt is the way to drive inflation in Japan.
Clem Chambers, CEO, ADVFN explains why Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's economic policies could lead to a complete change in the country's paradigm.
So long as central banks around the world continue to print money, the price of gold and silver will likely push higher, Silver Wheaton CEO Randy Smallwood said Thursday on CNBC.
The Japanese prime minister's push for a governor who will lead a radical policy shake up at the Bank of Japan is meeting resistance from his own cabinet and financial bureaucrats, who fear extreme measures from the central bank may trigger a damaging rise in bond yields.
Erik Wytenus, Head of Foreign Exchange and Commodities at J.P. Morgan Private Bank explains how he thinks Shinzo Abe is going to break Japan's deflationary circumstance.
The yen's historic fall is showing no signs of stopping, and with a new Bank of Japan governor on the way, this strategist has a plan for getting in on the trend.
Pro trader Rich Ilczyszyn looks at important technical indicators for the yellow metal.
Downbeat retail sales slam the Australian dollar and a central banker's departure dents the yen - it's time for your FX Fix.
Chris Eagle, Global Head of FX at Marex Spectron says the market is chasing the yen higher.
Richard Jerram, Chief Economist, Bank of Singapore says it makes sense for BOJ Governor Shirakawa to step aside at the same time as his deputies. He discusses who could be the next governor.
Japanese stocks surged 4 percent to its highest level in more than four years on Wednesday, after the yen declined sharply on bets that a decision by the head of the Bank of Japan to step down early will bring forward aggressive monetary easing.
Officials elsewhere are complaining, but U.S. policymakers have maintained a conspicuous silence regarding the yen's weakness. Here's one theory why.
Almost none of Japan's neighbors think there is a fundamental case for a weaker dollar against the yen, this expert says.

ATLANTA - Alabama is heading back to the national championship game - by a mere 5 yards.
ATLANTA - The national championship could be decided with a dream matchup between two of college football's most storied programs: Notre Dame vs. Alabama.
AJ McCarron's standard reply about handling big-game pressure is a shrug and a look that says, What's the big deal?
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - That running back duo in the Southeastern Conference championship game has been punishingly effective all season.
ATHENS - Alabama lost a bunch of stars to the NFL, yet it's hard to tell much difference. The Crimson Tide still has the nation's top-ranked defense.
ATLANTA - With Georgia one win away from playing for a national championship, quarterback Aaron Murray has suddenly imposed a media blackout.
ATHENS - The Georgia Bulldogs collected a trophy at midfield for another win over their state rival, then got some encouragement from the governor in their quest for a bigger reward.
Georgia Tech (6-5) at No. 3 Georgia (10-1)
ATHENS - When Oregon and Kansas State both went down, Aaron Murray whooped it up as much as any Georgia fan.
NEW YORK - Indiana's shots weren't falling and the top-ranked Hoosiers were getting a taste of their own medicine with some tough man-to-man defense from Georgia.
ATHENS - Georgia outside linebacker Chase Vasser will have surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder and miss the remainder of the season.
AUBURN, Ala. - Aaron Murray passed for 208 yards and three touchdowns, freshman tailbacks Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall each ran for more than 100 yards and No. 5 Georgia overwhelmed Auburn 38-0 on Saturday night, sending the Bulldogs back to the SEC championship game.
AUBURN, Ala. - Brian VanGorder got his start in major college football running Georgia's defense. Willie Martinez used to hold that job, too.
ATHENS - Some backup wide receivers may have more prominent roles as Georgia tries to play its way into the SEC championship game.
ATHENS - Aaron Murray threw four touchdown passes and No. 7 Georgia overcame a slow start to beat Mississippi 37-10 on Saturday and move one win away from a spot in the Southeastern Conference championship game.
ATHENS, Ga. - Brian Schottenheimer left the St. Louis Rams on Wednesday to take the role as Georgia's offensive coordinator.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Coach Bobby Petrino won't say who will start at quarterback for Louisville in the Belk Bowl. He will concede this: Both Reggie Bonnafon and Kyle Bolin will play against Georgia.

justhat - sorry you are having a hard time giving away your son's stuff - seems perfectly normal to be sentimental about it, especially with all the pregnancy hormones!! Hopefully a hug will help
- - - - - - - - - - - -- I had my 37 week appointment today - I'm considered full term at my midwifery practice (and by FL law, lol) - WOO HOO. I cannot believe it!! They call it the "safe zone". Anyhow - the appointment went well - baby's heart rate was at 156, a little higher than it was in the last couple weeks (mostly because she was very athletically moving out of the way of the fetal heart Doppler - she hates being poked with it, lol; but also because she seems to have changed her active/sleep pattern - she's been very active during the days now and less at night - a few weeks ago she was partying all night, lol!). My uterus measured 40 weeks - though the midwife said I was probably really only about 39, but the baby was a bit stretched out and her position made things seem a little bigger - either way they always tell me +/- 2 is normal. Also had my first internal (she gave me the choice that I could wait until next week if I wanted - they only require that you do it once at/after 37 weeks so they have something to compare to when you go into labor, but if you want you can have one every time) - I tried to relax as much as possible, taking deep breaths and such, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be (seemed better to me than my annual pap's). Well - I am at 1 cm dialated (she actually was able to touch baby's head - though the sac of course) and the baby is at zero station - woo hoo!! I'm not very effaced at all though - but she told me that usually takes the longest for first time moms. . . so yeay! I was telling myself not to be disappointed if nothing was going on, but I was happy that the cramping I've been feeling has at least done something - and all the pressure down there is because the baby is at 0 station I've been cleaning and getting things in order like crazy today - mostly because I was told by babies r us that my crib was in and was getting the place ready to pick it up. Well we showed up and they said it HADN'T arrived - I was ready to hurt someone, I was sooooo frustrated. This baby could come any day now (though it could still be weeks) and they tell me it is there and then - UGH! No apologies or anything - so I called corporate to complain about the store - not sure if it will do or mean anything, but I just couldn't let this slide. So, hopefully the crib gets here ASAP!! We put another offer down on a house - so we'll see where that goes (since it is a regular sale we should know by next week). |

I must be wacky, as I have had no desire to clean or organize...but, I hate to do that anyway... Quote:
We had our 38 week appointment today, and everything looks good. Still set for a c-section for next Friday at noon. I can't believe it is just a week away! I need that hair on fire, running smilie! We have baby safety and baby cpr class all day tomorrow, and are hoping to get to the police station to check our carseat installation.

I've read back quite a bit, it's been nice to read about babies/pregnancy/etc.... since right now the whole thing feels pretty surreal to me. I've been really sick, tired, etc.... and to be honest I feel more like I have a bad illness than a pregnancy at this point, if that makes any sense.
With my twins, I was determined not to have the epidural. I had had back pain following DD's birth and was worried that it was related to the epi. Nope, it was related to my tilted uterus and back labors, and was actually worse after the twins' birth where I didn't have an epi. As for the autism aspect, my son is on the spectrum and that was the delivery where I did not use the epi, so who knows. I think that the rise in autism is just so traumatic to families and everyone is just looking for something to blame- but that of course is just my 2 ¢ Having done it both ways, I'm not sure what I'll do this time. If my labor is significantly shorter and not induced again, I may skip it, but if I want/ feel like I need it I won't beat myself up over it either. I wish you the best of luck- it definitely can be done!! Quote:
me either! I don't necessarily mind one that looks babyish but I want one that's well made and not some weird color- not having the most success so far.... Quote:

Whew! We sat through an entire day of infant classes today! I am completely whipped out! We had an infant care and infant CPR class from 9-3 and then stayed for the carseat class and installation from 4-7. Now I know how my students feel at the end of the day!
Speaking of my students, a bunch of my core kids got together and threw me a surprise baby shower yesterday morning before school. It was so sweet! And totally unexpected. Apparently they came up with the whole thing on Monday at their drama club meeting, and actually managed to keep it a secret the whole week, which is impressive in of itself. I'll miss those kiddos while I'm out on leave! Got the dogs groomed today, carseat installed, and I think we are done buying stuff. So, now we just wait for Friday and then we will have little Mr. Connor! Crazy! (I'm REALLY hoping he does not chose to arrive before then, as I need to get term grades in on Thursday before I take off!)

I was terribly sick with each pregnancy also and it does just feel like some bad virus in the beginning. That is exactly what I tell myself too, that I am just getting rid of clothing, not some sort of memory, but I think the hormones overpower the logic. I am finally getting better about giving away their old toys, but my motivation there is my son's birthday party is Saturday and part of it is at our house (we're going on a tour of the fire station also) so I really need to clear out the clutter! Adi - Congrats on making progress already. Hopefully that means you'll have an easy labor. And maybe pretty soon too! I was 1cm and my daughter was higher than 0 station at 37 weeks and she was born just 3 days later. Don't stress too much on the crib. Ours was backordered too and didn't arrive till my daughter was 2 weeks old. Of course, the store had to point out that it came before my due date (1 day before), so it was 'my fault' that it wasn't there in time she my daughter was early. They were kidding, but really, what new mom is in the mood for jokes about that? Anyway, we didn't use it in the beginning so it didn't really matter, other than I just wanted to set it up and make it look cute. And actually, if you really want to know, she never used the crib, so it could have come 2.5 years later when we had our son and that would have been fine. (Insert the eyeroll guy here, since I can't cause I used quick reply.) My son did use it though so it wasn't a total waste. Linzybrooke - It must be so exciting to have a birthdate set and know that you'll have your little boy within the week for sure. Today we picked up the last of the party stuff for my son's birthday party, which yes, is 2 months after his birthday. Then we went to BRU and tried out some carseats in the car. Now, my husband knew why we were going there, but he insisted on taking his car for some reason. I finally said 'whatever' and went with it, assuming it would be about the same, but then we got there, I re-explain why we are there, and he says "my car is more spacious so even if the seats fit here, they might not in your car." Thanks! But we got the general idea, I guess. We could only take out 1 seat at a time, and we ultimately need 2 new seats, so it was guess work at best. My husband really wants the Britax infant seat cause he likes that anti-rebound bar, which is fine with me, but the base is pretty wide. So I decided to get the infant seat first, then once I get that installed in the car and see which seat it needs to be in (in terms of heaving the infant seat over the other carseats to get it in the middle, or if it needs to be in an outboard seat), then I'll see which booster seat to get my daughter essentially based on which one fits best. This is really proving much harder than it needs to be.... I napped today and woke up feeling like I have a cold, which is not what was in the plan for this week. Oh well. But now that I napped I am not tired and can't go to sleep! |

Everyone keeps telling me if I hadn't opted to be induced then I wouldn't have ended up in a c-section. Bunch of stupid-heads who don't know what they're talking about. I was induced at 39 weeks because Lucas was in the 98th percentile for size and I wanted MY doctor.. and I kept ending up in L&D with gallbladder attacks. Induction was the way to go for me. I needed a c-section because my Piglet's head was too big for my pelvic bone. It had nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with being induced! I really hate people who think they know more about what happened to ME that day than I do. (I still lurk ladies, hi! I just, oddly, miss being pregnant!) |

Anyhow - people are silly. I mean your boy was a big boy, and if he didn't fit he just didn't fit - induction or no induction would not have changed that (I'm feeling very thankful my baby is at station 0 right now). Anyhow, just ignore the dumb/silly people - they don't know your body and your baby well enough, clearly! It seems people want to share their opinions and thoughts no matter what, even if you don't want it - I'm getting some of that for some choices I'm making (using a midwife, wanting to nurse (some people are so for it, but the ones that get to me are the ones that are so against, etc). Forget what other people think - you and your Dr. did what was best for Lucas, period! |

I have a question. When I get in bed at night, if I move a lot , I get cramps in my low stomach, to one side or the other. It's kind of a momentary thing-fairly extreme, but short-lived. It always scares me, since it took so long to get pregnant and I'm afraid every little thing is something going wrong. Has anybody else had this? I'm 9 weeks tomorrow.

I did have that with this one a bit, not specifically related to bed, but I'd get sharp cramps. I'm also not sure when exactly it happened, gestationally. I'm 21 weeks now and get sharp pains often, but I do remember being much earlier and feeling what you described. I didn't have it with the other 2 kids so it did concern me a bit too.
I agree with Adi though, ask your dr about it. |

Who or what is the antagonist of The Giver?
1 Answer | Add Yours
You can safely argue that the antagonist of the Giver is basically the concept of "Sameness", that is, that collective feeling of limbo that the dystopian (at first seemingly Utopian) society presented in the story chose to adopt in order to not suffer emotional conflicts.
When Jonah became the new Receiver, he discovered all the things to be learned from what society was like before Sameness took place He realized that there is a lot to be learned from conflict and complexity, and that there is a place for pain in one's life. Therefore, Sameness and all that it represents, is the main antagonist which directly contradicts the role of Jonah in the story.

We all like to spend money. Unfortunately most of us don't have as much money as we'd like to spend. This isn't merely true for individuals. Nations can spend too much money as well.
Greece has decided that it can't handle the austerity measures necessary to put it on the path to financial stability. They've elected a new leftist government that's got back to the serious business of spending money they don't have. The Greeks can breathe easily again. Life is back to normal.
Sometimes life imitates art.
I've been reading Anthony Trollope's Doctor Thorne lately. In the novel, the local squire, Mr. Gresham, has some financial difficulties. He's got an immense income of £14,000 a year, but he's got even more immense debts. He owes £80,000, and he's just had to borrow another £10,000. Trollope describes Mr. Gresham's reaction to the new loan this way.
