Very little hay is available to buy in parts of Missouri, reports Tom Hansen, University of Missouri extension agronomy specialist. "Most people who have hay are hanging onto it. Hay is going to be short is some areas. There is very little pasture because it hasn't rained in several weeks. We don't have our normal stockpiled fescue supplies either."
Hay production was spotty throughout the state this year. Some parts got enough summer rain to get bumper crops of alfalfa and other hays. "The Western Plains to the Boot Heel were dry and are short on hay," Hansen says. Missouri producers started out the year with very little hay in the barn because of the 2006 drought. "Livestock producers were feeding hay already in July of 2006," Hansen says.
He anticipates an increase in alfalfa acres next year in response to increased nitrogen fertilizer prices. "The horse population is growing too, and horse owners are more willing to pay top dollar for good-quality hay. This is driving an increase in demand for horse hay," Hansen says.
Contact Hansen at 417-862-9284.
Pennsylvania hay producers had a good production year overall in spite of dry conditions in some areas. "There was not much surplus hay going into fall," says Marvin Hall, Penn State extension forage specialist. "If you had asked me how things were going in August, I would have said we were in trouble. But we had some good moisture and extra growth this fall. We had good fall production and got some nice late-fall cuttings."
Hall suspects that Pennsylvania hay acres may decrease next year as producers switch to corn to take advantage of high corn prices.

Recipe by Chardonnay Queen
"I make this every St. Patrick's Day. My family loves it and I don't know why I don't make it more often. Don't forget to hide a dollar coin or two for the lucky children who find them."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

3 potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 pinch salt
6 tablespoons butter, cut into small chunks
1/2 cup sour cream
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk, or as needed
1 teaspoon butter, or as needed
3 cups shredded cabbage
2 leeks, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
2 cubes chicken bouillon
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Perhaps you meant 3 pounds versus 3 potatoes? This was delicious...I added 10 oz of chopped ham to make it a one course meal. Would make again...
Made it without eggs so substituted flour to bind. Hd it with salmon. Worked well as a side dish. It's not a star dish that you buld a meal around in my mind but a good dish for complementing meat dishes. Would make a great dish to take to a potluck dinner or to sneal greens into kids :).

Made this for St. Paddys and everyone loved it. So filling and rich, but so, so delicious! I must confess, however, that I did start by frying up about a half pound of bacon, and then sauted the cabbage, leeks and onions in the bacon grease, and added the bacon back in the dish before baking. Boy, that was decadent and fattening, but divine! The whole family loved this and have been asking me to make it again.
My potatoes were kind of small (organic reds) so I used a few more. I didn't have bouillion cubes but I did have chicken Better than bouillion so I used a couple teaspoons of that. Because I always make colcannon with bacon, I did add a half pound of cooked, crumbled turkey bacon. This was super yummy--we all enjoyed it quite a bit. A new unique way to eat colcannon!
VERY GOOD! I did add a little extra salt and pepper, but that was my own preference. I would definately make this more often than just on St. Patrick's Day, and I intend to! Also, I did assemble this the night before and just baked it off the next day...it worked out perfectly! Thanks for sharing. :)
Great recipe! I used 2 bags of shredded hashbrowns instead of mashed potatoes. Chopped medium head of cabbage with 4 leeks, sauteed in olive oil with salt till tender. Combined with uncooked hash browns and other ingredients (except bouillon because I had none ) added some garlic powder and paprika. I put cheese inside the mixture, added some extra on top at the end of baking. Went well with pork chops.
Thank you so much for posting a recipe that actually sounds like Colcannon. I have always prepared or purchased in an Irish pub Colcannon that is made with Irish bacon, two kinds of cabbage and BAKED. That's the only way I have ever had it. I don't know what to call the other socalled Colcannon recipes I saw on this website.
Turned out very good, with a nice flavor. I used 5 large potatoes (Costco size), and also put 5 crushed garlic cloves in with the potatoes. Next time I think I will add some bacon.

Press Release From the Office of State Senator Leticia Van de Putte
For Immediate Release February 6, 2008 Contact: Tiffany Champion, (210) 733-6604
E-News from the Office of Senator Van de Putte
Dear Friend,
I hope this e-news finds you doing well. I am writing to send you updates on important issues in our community and helpful information too.
The Earned Income Tax Credit: Do You Qualify? It's tax season again - time to prepare for filing your yearly income tax returns. As such, I would like to remind you of the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). The EITC is a tax credit for full-time and part-time workers who earned less than $12,590 (if single) or less than $39,783 (combined, if married with dependents) in the 2007 tax year. A tax credit typically means more money in your pocket and it reduces the amount of tax you owe. The average tax refund is $1,900, but it can be as high as $4,500 for a family with two or more qualifying children.
Hard working families often struggle to make ends meet; and for many families the EITC can be the equivalent of a 40% increase in salary. That's two months worth of living expenses; it could mean the difference in having money to pay for healthcare and school uniforms. It is estimated that 23% of San Antonio families are unaware they qualify for the EITC, resulting in an estimated $86 million in unclaimed federal dollars. Some families who are aware of the credit may use a tax preparation service that offers money back quickly, but at a very costly fee to the tax payer and our community. It means that families have less money to buy necessary items for their children; and therefore less money is invested back into our local economy.
It is my goal to help as many families as possible to better themselves by taking advantage of the EITC and using our communities' free tax-preparation services offered through Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites. By using a VITA site families or individuals get back all the money in which they are entitled in one lump sum, either through direct deposit or in a refund check mailed to their home. This in turn benefits our state, by keeping money in our local economy. I am happy to report, last year the VITA coalition completed 35,000 returns resulting in $53 million returned to our families. We have seen an influx of taxpayers at the VITA sites, but in order to offer this necessary community service we need a steady stream of volunteers. Therefore, I also ask that you consider volunteering to help your neighbors and the community.
Please do not let added dollars that you have earned go wasted! You can find information on FREE Tax Preparation at the location nearest you by calling the United Way help line at 2-1-1. Sites are open until April 15.
TAKS Test Moved Commissioner of Education Robert Scott announced the adjustment of the Texas testing calendar so that no Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) exams are given on primary election day, March 4.
A myriad of schools are used as polling places; and for the first time, a testing date and election day coincided, as the primary moved up by one week and the school start date was pushed back.
As election day draws near, district officials worried that the influx of voters could distract students taking high-stakes test. The Commissioner expressed that his decision to adjust the testing dates was not made lightly, as he is aware this change causes additional work for testing coordinators. The Texas Education Agency aimed to balance the tradition of using schools as polling places with a student's right to a quiet testing environment.
The new testing schedule will address the following:

If you live outside southern California, and you want an idea of why the wildfires there are such news, take a look from above.
This image, shot by NASA's Aqua satellite, shows a plume of smoke that extends diagonally northeast from the center of the frame, beyond the Nevada border. NASA's Earth Observatory site, which provided the image, helped it with the red outlines of the fire zones themselves, but the smoke is not enhanced. Click on the image, or HERE, to enlarge.There is smoke, apparently, as far away as Colorado, where the state has issued a health advisory for the soot in the air.I showed this picture, and others, to a couple of editors around here, and they said that from space the smoke looks like clouds. It apparently doesn't from the ground.

The Marquis of Ripon agreed to lend some land at Studley Park to an enthusiastic group of gentlemen from the Ripon area for the purposes of playing some golf in 1891. The Marquis was appointed President of the new club and his vice was the Earl Grey. In 1893, one Harry Vardon was the club's professional before taking up a better offer at Bury GC a year later.
From these small beginnings, golf in the Ripon area moved on to the land off Palace Road in 1908 and Ripon City GC was established. Various attempts were made at creating an 18-hole course in the early 20th Century but this proved difficult and the nine holes of Ripon City subsisted until 1993 when the second nine was added together with no less than 150 additional members from the long and distinguished waiting list.
Just before the arrival of the current century, the new clubhouse was completed and the two 'nines' integrated to create the order of play we know today.

Quoted from PCUK-Positive reduce sugar, increase sleep.
Quoted from Azure Agony Another product you can buy instead of sugar, Gaz, is xylitol...low g.i., acts as a prebiotic, protects teeth from decay etc.
Quoted from Andrea AWsec Love kale, pineapple juice and apple-- sometimes I add ginger too. I only use two leaves of kale, I use a blender and drink the veggie pulp.
Quoted from Jennihul I'm in the conventional medical field and the people with the worst dark circles are the Crohn's patients. It's almost like a flag waving "I've got bowel issues!"I have had dark circles my whole life. But they have never been better than now. I am assuming that is because my gut is healing from being on this diet. Hunter, O secretor. No WHEAT. Jennifer
Quoted from PCUK-Positive Although I'm always moaning about my dark circles they have also never been better.I must add though that since cutting down a bit more on sugar they have got better still, although there is definitely a link with wheat too.Although it may just be me taking Intrinsa, seriously helps so many things i think.

Bond market step opposed by ASIC
PUBLISHED: 06 Mar 2012 00:01:48 | UPDATED: 09 Mar 2012 09:29:08PUBLISHED: 06 Mar 2012 PRINT EDITION: 06 Mar 2012John Kehoe
A key part of a federal government plan to stimulate the corporate bond market by reducing legal liabilities for company directors is being resisted by Australian Securities and Investments Commission chairman Greg Medcraft.
The ASIC boss has privately told the government and stakeholders that, while he supports developing the local debt market, he opposes a plan floated by Treasury to cut the liability of directors of companies issuing bonds to retail investors.
Company representatives, bankers and lawyers involved in a confidential Treasury consultation argue that easing the legal burden on directors of blue-chip companies, in line with their obligations for share rights issues and overseas jurisdictions, is essential to increase bond issuance.
Treasurer Wayne Swan is considering the arguments before announcing final details to kick-start the local corporate bond market, which has also been sidestepped by superannuation funds due to an equity bias that is partly driven by tax issues.
About 80 per cent of $200 billion of local corporate debt outstanding was raised offshore.
Government and business want to develop a deep and liquid corporate bond market to provide companies with a competitive alternative to bank funding, reduce the economy's reliance on shaky overseas money markets and to give retail investors a fixed-income alternative to more volatile shares.
A Treasury paper proposes two reforms to overcome impediments to vanilla bond issuance by blue chip companies to retail investors: reducing prospectus information and cutting the legal liability of directors.
Sources involved in the Treasury consultation, including a meeting in January, said there was general agreement that disclosure documents could be simplified. But ASIC wants to retain the power to prosecute directors and protect retail investors.
Under the existing rules, directors can be prosecuted for civil and criminal liabilities if documents or investor presentations contained inaccurate information – unlike for some equity raisings.
Mallesons partner Shannon Finch said the personal liability laws were one of the factors that made it more attractive to issue debt in wholesale markets, including in the US.
"That's currently an appealing market for many companies because it's quick, easy, pricing can be better than retail offers here and it doesn't raise the same personal liability issues," Ms Finch said.
Business wants companies to be allowed to use streamlined initial prospectuses, followed by "low doc" disclosure for subsequent issues, in line with share rights issues to existing shareholders, which has a more lenient liability regime.
There is also disagreement on which companies should be permitted to use the simplified process. ASIC is pushing for only investment grade quality companies to be eligible.
However, major credit rating agencies no longer rate retail products in Australia after ASIC in 2010 proposed a new financial ombudsman oversee complaints from aggrieved investors.
Only start-up agency Australia Ratings now rates retail bonds.
Standard & Poor's managing director John Bailey said yesterday there was no international precedent for the external dispute resolution and it wanted to broaden its licence "so that credit ratings can be provided to both retail and wholesale clients in Australia."
An alternative discussed in the Treasury consultation is to give ASIC discretion to select companies for the streamlined process. ASIC opposes this.

It's been 50 years since John F. Kennedy was assassinated as he rode in an open top motorcade through Dealey Plaza in Dallas Texas. Still whenever you ask the question "Where were you when you heard President Kennedy was shot?" people of the right age can tell you exactly what they were doing.
His assassination on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, sent shockwaves around the world and turned the all-too-human Kennedy into a larger-than-life heroic figure. To this day, historians continue to rank him among the best-loved presidents in American history.
On Monday, November 25, 1963 President Kennedy was laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery. The funeral was attended by heads of state and representatives from more than 100 countries, with untold millions more watching on television.
The official Warren Commission report of 1964 concluded that neither Oswald nor Ruby were part of a larger conspiracy, either domestic or international, to assassinate President Kennedy. Still conspiracy theories are still around today.
For the past two weeks at the Amelia library we have been asking people where they were when they heard President Kennedy had been assassinated. While there were only a few responses I would like to share those here.
"I was a letter carrier in Mt. Washington. I was walking up Beechmont Ave with my radio in my ear."
"I was giving my neighbor a home perm. We were listening to the radio."
"My baby son and I were in the family room. He was two months old and I was giving him his bottle before putting him down for a nap. I was watching soap opera 'As the World Turns' when Walter Cronkite came on the TV with the horrible news about the president. I just started crying and just sat down and sat in disbelief. The weekend became a nightmare."
"At school. Watched TV there and at home later."
"I was in 8th grade, I was on flag detail that week. I put the flag at 1/2 mast."
"On that tragic day I was at work at the Dayton, Ohio airport. Someone came into the office and asked if we had heard President Kennedy was shot in Dallas, TX. Of course we had not heard that and we were all shocked by the sad news."
With the 50th anniversary of President Kennedy's assassination there are many new books that have been published. Check out this new titles at the library!

- Q: Will this degree enable me to take an American bar exam?
A: Although the primary purpose of this program is not bar exam preparation, some U.S. states allow attorneys from other countries who earn an LL.M. degree at an accredited U.S. law school to take the state bar exam. The eligibility requirements vary from state to state. It is the applicant's responsibility to determine if he/she would be eligible, after earning our LL.M. degree, to take an American bar exam. If an applicant is pursuing the LL.M. for the purpose of qualifying for a bar exam, he/she should investigate this issue thoroughly prior to committing to earn this degree. Please contact the relevant state bar officials to find out more information about bar exam eligibility.
- What is Regent University's Quality Matters (QM) Program?
A. Regent University is a subscriber of the Quality Matters (QM) Program. QM is a faculty-centered, peer review process that is designed to certify the quality of online and blended courses. QM is a leader in quality assurance for online education and has received national recognition for its peer-based approach and continuous improvement in online education and student learning. There are three primary components in the Quality Matters Program: The QM Rubric, the Peer Review Process and QM Professional Development. The QM Rubric incorporates principles from Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). Learning objectives, assessment and measurement, instructional materials, learner interaction and engagement, and course technology are critical components.
The Quality Matters process is designed to ensure that all reviewed courses will eventually meet expectations. The QM process is integral to a continuous quality improvement process. The QM Rubric is based on national standards of best practice, the research literature, and instructional design principles. The QM Rubric and process are designed to promote student learning. - Are all of the courses taught in English?
All of the courses are indeed taught in English. This is necessary not only because the vast majority of American legal writing is in English, but also the fact that if the foreign law graduate taking the LLM program wants to take a bar exam, that exam will be in English and greater English proficiency is a necessity.
Regent's LLM in American Legal Studies seeks to develop the writing skills of its students. Every student must take a research and writing course which builds English proficiency, and for online students, all of their weekly posts using Blackboard are in English. Regent's online program is not a "diploma mill." Regent's program requires weekly written interaction between students and their professor, and is therefore more rigorous than similar programs.

Waco, Tx — Cheaper gas may have you traveling more for the holidays, since prices have posted their biggest drop, since 2008, over the past two weeks.
In Waco, gas can be found as cheap as $3.06 per gallon. But, the question is--will those prices stay?
Gas prices have been on a steady decline for the fourth month this year. On average, gas costs $3.21 in Texas. That's roughly 28 cents cheaper than the national average of $3.49 a gallon.
"Now, you can travel and everything and get on the highway now that the gas prices are going down," said Whitney Jackson of Waco.
With gas prices as high as they've been in recent months, Central Texans are happy see cheaper prices at the pump.
David Gonzales says he spends 50-dollars a day to put gas in his work van. It's a lot, just to run his flooring business. But, for him, a penny saved is a penny earned.
"We go everywhere, you know. We work in Killeen, Temple, everywhere," said Gonzales.
Although prices look favorable now, reports caution that the relief may not last too long. Oil prices rose Monday--leaving gas prices hanging in the balance until the days after the election.
"They got plenty of oil. they can come down on it if they wanted," said Garry Jackson, who has to spend 30-dollars each time he has to fill up.
"I think a change in leadership is what we need," said truck driver David Edwards.
Nevertheless, drivers remain hopeful gas prices will continue to decline as the holidays approach.

I love organizing tips. Even before I became a professional organizer I was always reading organizing tips to see how I could do something faster, and more efficient. Here are three favorite organizing tips from my friends that can also help you to be organized.
Edna does three things on Friday, no matter what else she does that day she changes the bed sheets, does the laundry and goes grocery shopping. What a good organizing tip to have a routine and a goal. She has done this for several years.
Cindy only keeps things that light her up. If it makes her happy or brings her joy she keeps it. A wretched person had given her a curling iron in a gift exchange. Every time she used the curling iron she thought of that person and the old negative feeling came back to her. She donated the curling iron and bought one she liked. Now she only surrounds herself with things she likes and things that bring her good memories.
My organizing tip is I always put things back where they belong after I use them. I try to only touch things once. For instance; instead of putting a dish in the sink after using it I put it in the dishwasher. This saves a step and also saves time, helping me to stay organized.
"Winnie the Witch" is the cutest book written by Korky Paul and Valerie Thomas. Winnie lived in a black house in the forest. Everything she had in her house was black. An organizing tip she could have used (and we can to) is to use different colors to make organizing our homes easier. In our offices we can organize files with different colors. My favorite filing system is Freedom Filer. Purple is for resource, red is for permanent files and so forth.
Winnie had a cat named Wilbur and he was black. As long as he kept his eyes open and she could see his green eyes that was okay, but when he closed his eyes she couldn't see him and she sometimes sat on him. When he sat on the carpet and closed his eyes Winnie couldn't see him at all so she tripped over him.
She waved her wand and said ABRACADABRA and Wilber was bright green. Now she could see him everywhere in her black house. But when she put him outside he was the same color as the grass so she couldn't see him and she tripped over him again and landed in a rose bush.
This time she waved her wand five times and turned him red, yellow, pink and purple. She could see him now no matter where he was. He climbed a tree to hide and wouldn't come down. He was miserable and all the birds made fun of him.
Here is another organizing tip: when you are organizing other people's things in your home make sure they work for them as well as for you. Get the cooperation of those you are organizing for and you will have more success keeping it organized.
Winnie didn't like to see Wilber miserable so she got a bright idea and changed him back into a black cat and she changed her all black house into beautiful colors and everything in it different colors too. So now, Winnie can see Wilbur, no matter where he sits.
This is an organizing tip I picked up from Winnie: if your first idea on how to organize doesn't work, keep trying until you are happy with how your home is organized.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP/WMOT) -- The Tennessee chapter of the NAACP is ramping up protests across the state in response to the death of Trayvon Martin.
The unarmed 17-year-old black teenager was shot in Sanford, Florida, just over a month ago by a neighborhood watch captain who says he acted in self-defense.
Gloria Sweet-Love, president of the state NAACP, said protests are scheduled in several cities around the state, including a protest Wednesday in Memphis.
MURFREESBORO, Tenn (WMOT) -- More than 100 students gathered on the Vanderbilt campus this morning to protest changes the university recently made to its policies governing student organizations.
The new policies require that, to remain certified, student organizations must allow any student to join and also allow all-comers to stand for leadership positions in the group.
The policy is being contested, largely by Christian groups, that insist their officers must be students who share their core beliefs.
NASHVILLE, Tenn (AP/WMOT) — A proposal that seeks to prevent Occupy Nashville protesters from staying overnight on the plaza next to the state Capitol advanced in the Tennessee General Assembly yesterday.
The measure sponsored by Republican Rep. Eric Watson of Cleveland was approved on a voice vote in the House Judiciary Subcommittee. The companion bill is awaiting a vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
An Occupy Wall Street inspired march is getting underway at this hour in downtown Murfreesboro.
Occupy Murfreesboro leaders have permits to assemble on the grounds of the county courthouse.
Protestors say they'll also march around three downtown banks; all within a few blocks of the square.
One of the protest organizers, local resident Connor Moss, says Occupy Murfreesboro usually has about 20 people at their meetings, but expects about a hundred protesters to attend today's march.

These are air-powered pants that are designed to help with leg joints
Posted By William E. On July 24, 2013 @ 6:50 AM In General Tech | No Comments
Air powered pants designed to boost a user's joint power have been developed by design students of the Royal College of Art in London.
The device is still in an early prototype stage and consists of a series of air bags connected to each other and placed over a user's legs. It was initially intended to be geared toward the assistance of elderly persons with activities such as standing up from a sitting position. It is currently powered using an air compressor but it could be modified in the future to be operated through the use of a foot pump.
The design team which consists of Tanya Chong, Junior Ngwenya, Igor Safronov and Sangwoo Park are of the opinion that their design offers a more natural experience than previous bionic legs have done.

In Response To: Re: Some thoughts on weight and health (Earl (O))
I guess you could say that all of this is very new to me. I just bought the book yesterday. Read it today. All of your postings are beneficial to someone like myself. I haven't understood why despite my efforts weight doesn't seem to come off my body. Saddened, discouraged, disheartened, and distressed are only a few of the verbs I would use to describe the state of emotional distress that I have experienced over the last four years. But, the comments within this posting give me the courage to recognize that everything should be about my health and not my hope for a more acceptable look.
A couple of question's I have though? Do the cravings for the carbs (I'm an O) stop when you eliminate the avoid foods? Secondly, do most of the O's take the herbs like bladder wrack etc. And how do you know how much to take?
Thanks for the encouragement! I'm glad I found all of you....

4 Year Old Refusing Preschool
My 4 year old is suddenly refusing to go to her preschool. My question is: should I make my daugther go? Background: this is her first time at preschool, because of her birthdate she will have to go to preschool again this fall instead of entering Kindergarten. I don't want to turn her off from school. I've tried encouraging her on many levels to get her excited about going. She is too smart to be persuaded, with witty come-back to refute my remarks. I've driven to the school and got her inside but she wouldn't go in the room and ran down the hall. Next day she just refused to get dressed, and pleaded with me to let her stay home. I've asked if something has happened and nothing has; I think she is just bored with it (she knows quite a bit for her age). I really think it's boredom because she also said that she wants to try a new school.
So, I tried using reward for going, but it didn't work, so now.... Should I use punishment as a means for her to go (i.e., go or your grounded) OR should I just let it go for this year and try again in the fall? I'm afraid that if I let this go, she'll think it's okay to quit and next year she'll try the same thing as soon as she feels a little bored with her teachers. What would you do?
So What Happened?™
I wanted to thank everyone for their responses to the post about my 4 yr old suddenly refusing preschool. I'm so happy I found this board because it helps so much to hear all points of view. You all had so many good points. So what happened? Well, she was on her 3rd day of missing when I posted -- and I'm happy to say that she is back, and fortuntately it was her own decision, but motivated by a little "peer pressure". She came in from playing outside with her friends (under her babysitter's supervision) to tell me that a boy was calling her a "quitter" and "school skipper". We discussed what the word "quitter" meant and she said "I don't want to be a quitter mom. Can I go back to school"? And so my problem was solved...she happily went back. However, what she didn't know was that I had finally reached the decision to let her stay home until next year (thank goodness I never shared this with her).
I had to ask myself why I was sending her there anyway; especially since she has another year to go yet before Kindergarten. My reason was "it was for her, not me" - - meaning I didn't have to send her for childcare or anything. I wanted her to go for the experience = for the structure, skills, socialization and independence. However, we already had this covered, as she tried to tell me in round about ways when I tried to convincing her to go to school. She never had separation anxiety and is very independent. Our days at home are very structured, we often do projects and little lessons to help her gain new skills, and she is in ballet and has many neighborhood friends whom she plays with daily, which covers the socialization. On the 3 days she stayed home, I made it clear that she wasn't able to play during her normal school hours (9-1 pm); she understood we still had to do school work. I had a babysitter over to watch my 2 yr old, while we worked. She did so well, and was so happy, cooperative and eager to learn...it just made me see that she wasn't being manipulative to get out of doing work, but she really felt like we could do better here at home. I don't think pre-school is necessary - but I will keep her going as long as she is getting something from it. The lesson for now is as simple as she put it "she is going back to do the right thing, because she doesn't want to be a quitter". Hopefully this will translate into ... when it becomes mandatory, she will fulfill her obiligation (or, at least there won't be any second guessing on my end about what to do about her feelings--- she will have to go then. For now I'm happy with her being a young 4 year old who will be home with us all summer...and we'll try preschool again in the fall (may try a new one just for something different). Thanks again!

A) You are the parent- not her.
B) If she is so bored with pre-school, ask the schools to evaluate her learning level to come up with an acceptable compromise.
C) YOU are the parent... she has no right to dictate, make witty come-backs, or try to negotiate the issue.
(Sorry to sound cruel there, I have two girls that went through that phase, and I learned the longer you let them have the control, the harder it is to take it back later on. My son will be hitting that phase soon enough, and I have no plans to let him start trying to manipulate me from what I think is best. lol. Seriously, give in once and it's really hard to keep from giving in on other things that you need to put your foot down on.)

M.R. answers from Cincinnati on May 09, 2007
Allowing her to manipulate you to get out of going to school is definitely not a habit you want to create! Do you want your child to think that every time she is 'bored' with school that you're going to come to her rescue and not make her go? Do you want to teach her that when it comes to school if she throws a tantrum you're not going to make her go? I'm not sure if this is something you're willing to go through during elementary, middle, and high school years. Trust me, when she's in high school she will probably think every minute of school is boring (this coming from a high school teacher)!
To me, school is non-negotiable except in the case of illness or some other major problem (death in the family, being bullied at school, etc.). I know not everyone shares these values and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However, if you, too believe that school is important and should be attended every day, boring or not, you'll put your foot down and get her butt there, regardless of how much she hates it!

T. answers from Columbus on May 09, 2007
My Son has done similar things, he says school is boring and doesn't want to go. He is also in 4 year old preschool. I usually try to point out that his friends will miss seeing him; he is particularly fond of a little girl who I always tell him will be sad if he is not there today. I bring up things they did in the past I know he particularly liked or enjoyed so he remembers what fun he has had in the past there. I have also made sure he understands WHY I want him to go to pre-school. So he can learn how to play with other kids more, learn fun songs and do cool crafts. If I try the "so you learn things" approach he is always pointing out how boring it is and how he already can read, but they don't even read at school. So I make him focus on the social aspects of school. As far as making her go or not, that is ultimately your decision, but if I was in your shoes I would make her go. The year is almost over, it is not like her issues are from fear or that she is not ready, it is because she is trying to make her own decisions. And it is never too early to teach them that you have to go to school and latter to work, weather you want to or not, it is not something you get a choice in. Good luck.
E. answers from Dayton on May 09, 2007
I am a preschool teacher of four-year-olds and my advice is to get with the teacher and explain what is going on. It may be that she will have to pry your daughter out of your arms screaming and kicking while you make a run for it. You will feel horrible and like the worst mom in the world, but I guarantee you that once she settles down and realizes she is staying she will have fun. I see that ALL the time. The teacher should be able to find challenges to keep your daughter connected.
I do encourage you to make sure you don't let her manipulate you. School will not be an option when she goes to "big school" so now is the best time to work on it, since it is most likely a part-time, short day situation.
H.P. answers from Cleveland on May 10, 2007
She only has a few weeks left and then summer..unless its an all yr school. But I would look into a different pre-school. If she is willing to go somewhere else I would take her somewhere else next yr. For this yr I might try talking to her about her friends in the class and how she is not going to be able to see them again if she doesn't go to school there. If that doesn't work I wouldn't push it. Either she had a fall out with one of the students or she had an uncomfortable moment of some sort with her teacher. Also the pre-school might be able to work with you these next few weeks. I know it is a lot but what if the next couple of days she has class you sit in on the class with her. Help her ease back in and get her grasp on it again and then ease out. I know my girls go to a two yr school and it has amazed me how much peer pressure they even feel at these ages. My oldest had times last yr when she didn't want to go but we eventually got past it. I was also amazed at how much questioning and creativity it took in that time to get her to finally tell me what it was that was bothering her. It was a combination of one mean little boy and the fact that she just missed mommy and her siblings. But she did get over it and now its torture telling her that she can't go on the rare occasion that she is sick or its an teacher conference day or holiday breaks. Its such a tough age for them. Good luck.
D.F. answers from Cincinnati on May 10, 2007
How long has she been in preschool? Is this a recent development? My son had issues with preschools and after investigating on my own and listening to him, we switched schools several times and I, too, felt he has the rest of his life to go to school I wasn't going to force him into something he dreaded. So, we tried part-time, thinking the days were too long. Finally we found the right school for him and he LOVED it, he is six now and still talks about the school, his friends and teachers, he will be going there for the summer and can't wait! I think sometimes it's just finding the right school. But you don't want to send the message that if she complains she can just "skip" school. I switched schools three times, the first (Little Red School House) when he was one because his dad yanked him out because he got bit (I didn't neccessarily agree with this reason, but already had my own doubts, the second, Basic Trust (supposed to be the best in the area) because the teachers were ignorant and the kids were obnoxious and he was regressing socially, the third because the school didn't understand that they basically worked for me and if I asked for something, like to know what he did all day, they should comply and because they weren't changing his diaper regularly and then finally came upon NKU's daycare, actually we had been on the waiting list for a year. And even though the days were long and he hated me leaving, he loved the kids and the teachers. I personally think it had to do with the fact that the teachers were all well-educated and truly loved their job and kids and third because the parents were well-educated, the kids were better behaved, more compassionate and ALL got along and weren't cliquey. So maybe you should look into another school.
A.K. answers from Columbus on May 10, 2007
Have you talked to her teacher? It may be a socialization thing.
Definitely encourage her to still go but let her teacher know of all that is going wrong. They can help especially at a young age. Maybe she needs to be challenged more that the teacher realizes.
M.S. answers from Columbus on May 09, 2007
I would wait until the fall. In the meantime, since you said she is bored, try to either have her tested, or get her into something more advanced for the summer. I really don't think punishing her and forcing her to go is the answer. All that will do is make her hurt, anger, and resentful. She sounds like quite a smart, funny, child, so work with that. Heck, I'd probably be bored too if I was more advanced lol. I don't see it as quiting, rather, find something more advanced for her. my sister had the same issue with my neice when she was in the second grade because she was 'gifted.' They actually moved her up a grade and she is doing great, plus they got her into other activities to keep her active (she plays an insturment, takes karate, an dance). If you just let her do nothing, that is one thing, but try looking into other schools, as she suggested lol. Kids are sometimes smarter than we are! lol

How to Add Mood Lighting to a Party
Add bit of drama to your next party with lighting tips from Rach's design buddy, Evette Rios, the newest video from Every Day with Rachael Ray magazine.
-Hey, I'm Evette Rios, Rachael's design buddy. And I wanna show you guys 3 quick and easy ways to set the mood at your next shindig. So, the first thing I like to do is we all have overhead lighting in our dining rooms generally and sometimes those lights can be kind of harsh and bright during the day, but at night you wanna make it a little bit more moving. So, what I like to do is actually change the bulbs from a higher wattage bulb like a 60 or 70 to something lower. I really like the 25 watt. I think it casts a really nice, subtle, moody glow. But if you wanna go with something a little different, I also like to use pastel bulbs especially in bathrooms if you have guest over and they're gonna be changing using the bathrooms because everybody looks just amazing under a pinkish light. It's very cool. Then the next thing I like to do is just add some accent lighting and there. So, I just use a regular lantern, store bought. You can just pick this up from just about anywhere and just put your Christmas lights right in there, plug it in, and put it on top of a buffet or any piece of furniture that you happen to have around the dining room table. It adds a little, you know, something, something in the corner. And another way to create some ambiance with lighting is with candles. I love candles because they're generally pretty inexpensive and they last a really long time if you know how to care of them. First, use unscented candles especially because if I'm entertaining, I want people to smell the aromas of the food and not get distracted with the smell of candle. Then what I like to do is I like to refrigerate my candles for about half an hour before I decided to burn them because a nice chilled candle is actually gonna take a lot longer to burn than a room temperature one. I also like to trim the wick down to about a quarter of an inch because if the flame is short, then the candle isn't too hot so it doesn't burn faster than it should. So now, let's see what all this mood lighting looks like together. That's pretty cool. I hope you've learned something and you can create some mood lighting at your next dinner party. Thanks so much.

THE TIMES YOU'VE COME LyricsArtist: Jackson BrowneAlbum: For Everyman That we each are a part of one another We've lost as much as we have won And as our lives have grown We have found that it only brings us pain That hangs on to the things that we have done Still I love the times you've come When you went away Taking all that I'd built my false road on I dropped my life and couldn't find the pieces Now you come and go And it's hard but I feel my strength returning We'll see how far this new road reaches We'll see a little more each time we come Now everybody's gonna tell you it's not worth it Everybody's gotta show you their own thing You might try to find your way up around it But the need for love will still remain Now we're lying here So safe in the ruins of our pleasures Laughter marks the place where we have fallen And our lives are near So it wouldn't occur to us to wonder Is this the past or the future that is calling You know I've loved these times you've come.
