Miranda Kerr With Her Dog Frankie in NYC | Pictures
Miranda Kerr Wears Black and White to Hit the Town With Frankie
Miranda Kerr stepped out wearing two sleek ensembles in NYC yesterday. Miranda wore an all-black outfit with leather pants and red lipstick for one obligation in Manhattan, and later changed into a knee-length white dress to leave a building with her dog, Frankie. Miranda is in town to help launch the new Victoria's Secret Fabulous collection, and was on hand to promote the line with her fellow Angel Behati Prinsloo on Tuesday. Miranda brought Frankie along to the shoot for the Fabulous line recently.
Miranda is taking care of business in the Big Apple after spending the weekend in LA for the Oscars celebrations. Miranda and husband Orlando Bloom showed PDA at the Global Green event, and the supermodel attended Friday's QVC bash. Orlando and Miranda capped it off by posing sweetly together on the red carpet at the Vanity Fair party while being photobombed by Modern Family's Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

i need a program that takes as parameters the name of a file and the pathname of a folder and search for the file in the folder and any folder contained within it, directly or indirectly. The function should return the pathname of the file, if found, or None if the file cannot be found in the folder or in any subdirectory of the folder. The function must be recursive.
here is my code:
def search(fname, path):
for item in os.listdir(path):
next = os.path.join(path, item)
return next
it should look like something along the lines of:
>>>search('fileA.txt', 'test')
>>>search('fileB.txt', 'test')
ect. but i can only get my code to find fileA.txt, no matter what file i tell it to look for.
I asked the teacher for some help, this is what she told me:
**I see several problems:
- You don't have a condition in your function that actually checks to see if you've found the file. See the next issue when working on changing this.
- The fname won't match the file that corresponds to it if you've already added the path onto it. You need to check for the file name before you create the full pathname for the file, or you won't have a way to match it.
- You don't do anything with the values that are returned from the recursive call. Those should be returning either paths or None, and you're not checking what's coming back.**

Sex in advertising is the use of sexual or erotic imagery in advertising to draw interest to a particular product. This sex appeal is used to increase profit margins for purpose of sale. Usually a pretty woman is used as imagery, typically having no connection to the product being advertised. This type of imagery that may be used is very broad, and would include nudity, cheesecake, and beefcake, even if it is often only suggestively sexual.
Sex has been used in advertising ever since the beginning. From a marketing point of view, sexuality can have biological, emotional/physical or spiritual aspects. Sex in advertising works so well because of a simple factor; people are curious about sexuality. Advertising used women in erotic roles and poses more often than men. In recent years however, the use of female models in such roles is believed to attract the attention of potential male customers. Ironically, research shows that most major purchases are made by women.
Unless your product relates to sex, using it as an element to sell your product is seen as "lazy." Consumers, and religious conservatives, sometime get upset with a company that uses this technique because it is often considered as obscene. Many people, including me, believe there are many other ways to advertise a product without using sexual imagery. Do you feel the same? Comment below and let us know!
To give you some of the best sexually related advertisements, we have gathered a great collection for you to check out. Below we provided examples from companies that use sex in advertising. We hope you will find this collection inspirational. Enjoy!

Joking about how much weight you gained over Thanksgiving is amusing until you actually get on the scale. The average traditional Thanksgiving meal can provide between 2,000 to 3,000 calories. When you consider that it takes 3,500 extra calories to create one pound of body fat, you might want to think twice before going back for seconds.
Two food-filled holidays close together combined with cold winter months that force us indoors is the reason behind the three to seven pound weight gain many of us end up with by the New Year. The holidays don't have to be glutton-fests, however. To write this article, we compared the calories and fat content in several traditional Thanksgiving recipes (a minimum of four ingredients per dish). For each dish, we offer tips that can help curtail the calorie ambush. It's ok to cut back on some dishes and indulge in others. Sometimes even a few small recipe modifications can result in great results - without sacrificing taste.
Listed below are the main components of a typical Thanksgiving meal. Each food listed represents an average serving per person. If your meal includes other dishes, explore calorie-counting websites that can analyze your recipes.
It may be hard to believe, but the average serving of traditionally-prepared Thanksgiving turkey provides a whopping 590 calories and 30 grams of fat! Much of that comes from the skin, so to cut calories and fat, choose white meat and remove the skin before eating (and go easy on the gravy).
Gravy (1/3 cup serving)
Among gravy recipes, the 'leanest' that we found had only 22 calories and 1 gram fat per serving – which is one-third of a cup. At the other end of the spectrum, the recipe with the highest values had 398 calories and 36.2 grams fat. The average amounted to 182 calories and 16 grams of fat. The amount of fat that ends up in your gravy depends on how much fat you drain off the turkey drippings. It also depends on how much fat leaks out of the ingredients in your stuffing, such as butter or sausage. Though you might be tempted to remove all of the fat, leave a little bit for flavor.
Depending on the recipe and the ingredients included, there is a wide range of calories and fat for turkey stuffing. As far as homemade stuffing, the average amount of calories and fat was 329 calories and 18 grams of fat. Here's the breakdown of some popular stuffing recipes:
Herb stuffing with chestnuts: 361 calories, 19 grams fat.
Sausage, apple & cranberry stuffing: 235 calories, 11.6 grams fat.
Oyster stuffing: 391 calories, 23.2 grams fat.
Surprisingly, prepared stuffing had significantly fewer calories and less fat: 100 to 170 calories and only 1 to 7 grams fat. If you choose to go this route, read the ingredients before buying to ensure the product is free of trans fats (listed as partially hydrogenated fat on the label) or other unsavory ingredients.
Mashed Potatoes (½ cup serving)
Made with whole milk and butter, you're looking at about 330 calories and 19 grams of fat. Creamy mashed potatoes with cheese fared about the same at 328 calories, 20.5 grams fat, bringing the average amounts in a serving of mashed potatoes to 330 calories and 20 grams of fat. With gravy, cranberry sauce, and other flavorful delights gracing your plate, do you really need butter and cheese?
To reduce calories and fat, prepare mashed potatoes with skim milk and without butter. This leaves you with only 119 calories and 3 grams fat (that's a savings of 211 calories and 17 fat grams). If you need more flavor, try some of these options: add fresh or dried rosemary, low-fat plain yogurt, or crumble a little blue cheese over top of each serving.
To make the perfect mashed potatoes, start by placing them in a pot with cold water (rather than boiling the water first). This allows for the potatoes to cook more evenly as the temperature rises gradually.
Glazed Sweet Potatoes
The average serving provides 170 calories, 4.2 grams fat. Sweet potatoes are packed with beta carotene and other important nutrients, so it would be a shame to pass up this dish, especially since even the more decadent recipes are still lower in fat and calories than most other Thanksgiving dishes.
To cut calories, mash sweet potatoes without butter and drizzle with honey, maple syrup or agave, or add applesauce, pureed pear, or fig paste for a sinfully sweet taste.
Candied Yams
A popular American alternative to glazed sweet potatoes, most of the recipes we examined were made with, of all things, marshmallows. The average serving provided 237 calories and 8 grams fat. To cut calories and sugar, skip the marshmallows.
Pumpkin Pie (1 slice)
A slice of pumpkin pie (standard-sized pie divided into 8 slices) has an average of 369 calories and 15 grams of fat. Topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (approximately half a cup) adds another 150 calories and about 8 grams of fat. If you'd rather have a dollop of whip cream on your pie, one tablespoon provides 52 calories and 5.5 grams of fat.
Cranberry Sauce
A quarter-cup serving of cranberry sauce has about 105 calories of sugar (carbohydrate). It has only a trace of fat (0.1g).
A glass of red or white wine provides 90 calories per 3 oz. glass but no fat. 'Cutting' your drink with club soda will slash off about half of the calories.
Now let's put it all together. Taking the average amount of calories and fat from each dish, if you eat only one serving of each main and side dish and can resist going back for seconds, this meal provides about 2,300 calories and 111 grams of fat (which constitutes 43 percent of the total number of calories).
Calories Fat
Mashed potatoes 330 20
Turkey 590 30
Gravy 182 16
Stuffing 329 18
Glazed sweet potatoes 170 4.2
Pumpkin Pie 369 15
Topped with ice cream 150 8
Cranberry sauce 105 0
Glass of wine 90 0
About 300 calories can easily be removed by following some of our suggestions.
Whether you indulge or not, enjoy a happy, safe, and healthy Thanksgiving feast and take a moment to remember all that you're thankful for.

House Season 7 Episode 23
Moving On
Taub learned that he has two pregnant lovers this week: his girlfriend, Ruby, and his ex-wife, Rachel; neither knows about the other, of course, so this should make for some fun next season.
But the real crux of the finale centered around House. Cuddy tried to get him to open up to her about their split, but he would simply say he felt "hurt." He was then driven to a newer low by a patient, a performance artist who initially chose to die on her own terms. House admired this about her, but then turned on her when she decided to try and live.
House yelled at her: "You don't need to depend on people who are gonna let you down." Pretty clear he was deflecting his issues on to her, wasn't it?
From there, House went by Cuddy's place to drop off a hairbrush, only to see her eating dinner with another guy. This set House off. He turned around and literally drove the car into Cuddy's house, destroying it. We later heard Cuddy's telling the police that she wanted House arrested, but he was nowhere to be found...
... until the camera panned to him in a bar. In the tropics somewhere. That's how the season ended.

There's the noise of helicopters over head. Wilson asked the guy who is supposedly a blind date from Cuddy's sister if HE'S GOING TO ARREST House. Not like, are you pressing charges, but are you going to slap cuffs on him! There's more to this story they haven't show us yet.

£420m deal to service RAF Chinook choppers signed
A £420 million deal has been signed to service the RAF's Chinook helicopters, securing 450 jobs, the Prime Minister has announced.
During a visit to Portsmouth Naval Base, David Cameron said the news would be an "economic boost" for Portsmouth, which lost more than 900 jobs when BAE Systems ended shipbuilding at the site.
He said the Ministry of Defence had signed the multi-million pound five-year contract with Boeing for the in-service support of the Chinook helicopter.
Mr Cameron also revealed £50m would be spent revamping the infrastructure of the base to accommodate the new Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier when it arrives in 2017.
BAE and Magma Structures have been revealed to be the preferred bidders to occupy the ship hall facilities.

Numbers 21:4-9, to heal the Hebrews' snake bites, Moses makes a bronze serpent on a stick, as per God's instructions. They don't worship it, but they are to look at it in order to live. Isn't this sort of like an idol, or a graven image? Or could it be a reference to something learned from Egypt, like possible Hermetic disciplines? Is it related to the image of a serpent coiled around a staff, seen commonly today in the medical field?
I think in order to answer this question, a short detour needs to be taken to John's Gospel, because in it Jesus Christ himself refers to this incident with Moses and the bronze serpent. In John 3:14-15, Jesus tells Nicodemus, "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life." Then, Jesus continues by noting that out of love God sent His Son into the world to save it, not to condemn it (John 3:16-17). Jesus then says, though, that the world was already condemned: "Whoever believes in him [i.e. the Son, Jesus Christ] is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God" (John 3:18). The point in Jesus' discussion with Nicodemus is that he came into the world to save a world that was already condemned, and that this salvation comes through him being "lifted up." The world, and us in it, are "condemned already" due to the sin of Adam and Eve, and Jesus saves us through his death on the cross (i.e. he was "lifted up"). All who look on Christ in faith receive this redemption from death; those who do not are not condemned by Christ, because they were already condemned due to sin. So, getting back to Moses and the bronze serpent in the book of Numbers. To put some context around it, the people of Israel had been in slavery in Egypt. Through Moses, the Lord has delivered them up out of slavery, redeeming them from their captivity. He is now leading them to the land He has promised them. Yet, the people continually rebel against the Lord. They finally "spoke against God and against Moses," accusing them of bringing the people out to the wilderness to die. Then, they call the manna which the Lord had been sending them "worthless." Thus, they despise the Lord's grace and mercy in delivering them out of captivity (cf. Numbers 21:4-5). Therefore, the Lord gives them what their sins deserve: death. He sends "fiery serpents" to them, which bite the people and kill them. Sin came into the world through the serpent, Satan, and now here in Numbers the people are suffering the consequences of sin, namely death; they are "condemned already" (Numbers 21:6-7). However, the Lord provides a means to save the people. He has Moses make a bronze serpent, the symbol of death, and raise it up on a pole. All who look on it will live (Numbers 21:8-9). Jesus connects this event with his own crucifixion. He is raised up on the cross to die for our sins. He dies on the symbol of death, apparently "bitten" by the serpent Satan, dying the death we deserve. Yet, through this symbol of death we have life; everyone who looks on the cross of Christ in faith will live, even though we have been bitten by the serpent and are therefore sinners (cf. Numbers 21:9). That's a lot of words to say basically that Christ interprets the event in Numbers in light of what he came to do; he came to die by being raised up on the cross in order to save people who were "condemned already" by the serpent Satan and the sin he brought into the world. So, what happens in Numbers points forward to what Christ was coming to do on the cross for all people. Indeed, Christ came to save not only us, but also his entire creation. He died and rose to save a world that was "condemned already," restoring it to the perfection in which he had originally created it (cf. John 1:1ff). This will come on the "Last Day" with his return and the resurrection. |
The snake on a pole was a preview of Christ on the cross. Sort of a sneak-peek into the future. All healing is by Christ: This was prophesied 700 years before the crucifixion, but it does not say "will be healed" or "was healed" it says we "are healed". Everything that God told Moses to make for the tabernacle were copies of heavenly things. Maybe this represents what the Apostle John saw in heaven as "a Lamb as it had been slain." But, why a snake? Because the snake represents sin, and Jesus didn't just take our sins; He became sin on the cross: Just as the children of Israel looked upon the snake to give them life from the deadly snake bites; so, we look upon Christ to gain life from the deadly penalty of sin: But like the golden angels on the mercyseat, this was not to be an idol. It was not to be duplicated, carried around or worshipped. Its only purpoes was to be there to be looked upon when someone had been bitten by one of the deadly serpents. When the snakes were gone (which were a punishment from God), there was no more use for it. None of the prophets condemned Hezekiah for destroying it, because by this time people were worhipping it as an idol. Even Jesus did not put Hezekiah down for destroying it when He mentioned it to Nicodemus, even though it was a type of himself. It was a gospel lesson. God bless you all. |
Numbers 11;1 And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it:and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt asmong them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp. Philippians 2;14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings. Numbers 21; 8 And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. John 3; 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever, believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life. The serpent on the pole prefigured Jesus Christ. |
As crazy as this sounds, I was in a movie for this very story. I was one of the Hebrews who were bitten by a snake. To answer your question; no, it is not an idol and was not worshiped. Think of it as this is what God used to cure the people from the snake bites. Laying in the desert in pain taught some people to turn back to God. Those who were bitten had denounced God for making them walk in the desert. Looking at the bronze serpent healed them. Your second and third question are out of scope for this SE. However it would fit perfectly here: http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/65313/hermeticism |
Just as serpents brought death to the Hebrews because of their sin, and a serpent was lifted up on a pole as the way of temporal salvation, so the first man Adam brought death to all because of his (and our) sin, and the last Adam was lifted up on a tree as the way of everlasting salvation. |
The Serpent,or Satan, is symbolic for the desire that stands as the foundation of the building block(constructive or destructive) within each individual soul. To be, is for the soul to desire to be, therefore letting us live out this journey of the 3 dimensions of Time & Space occurring around the mind in order to experience exactly what it is we desire in the first place. We are here because we wanted to be here. We desired to be here. And so the oneness of this God force provides us with the fullest potential of the CHRIST consciousness that exists, and there is no higher consciousness of this sort in this plane. The Bronze Serpent represents that higher form of consciousness, the CHRIST consciousness, where man whom once desired (the serpent-the self gratification and ego behind desire) can know this is to be overcome as our individual souls grow to these realizations in the given dimensions. The Crucifixion of Christ is mans destiny to not desire, but to be as selfless as He....and through these channels of thought, this will be the second coming....and we will make our way to "heaven" or higher realms or back to our original source of ONENESS with this force we refer to as GOD through these studies...let the occurrences through the adjustments and observations in Quantum Physics help those understand this process more clearly....the mind and matter. |

Senate Bill 240: Establishing Contractual Cohabitation
Senator Robert E. Clegg, Jr. (R) and Representative Marshall E. Quandt (R)
Senate Bill 240 provides for two people of either gender to enter into a legally binding contract that commits the parties to mutual responsibilities and obligations, and allows them to obtain certain benefits and protections.
2/15/2007 | (Senate) Introduced and referred to Judiciary Committee | |
3/27/2007 | (Senate) Hearing, 2:50 p.m., Statehouse, Room 103 | |
4/5/2007 | (Senate) Committee Report, Re-referred to Committee | |
1/3/2008 | (Senate) Committee Report: Inexpedient to Legislate for January 17 | |
1/18/2008 | (Senate) Voted Inexpedient to Legislate—Bill Killed |
HSLDA's Position:
Oppose. Senate Bill 240 essentially allows couples to simulate marriage, and thereby undermine the God-ordained union of one man and one woman. Homeschooling is based on a traditional interpretation of parental rights, which are derived from a number of sources, including "western civilization concepts of the family as a union of a man and a woman with broad parental authority over minor children�" [See U.S. Supreme Court case Troxel v. Granville, 530 U.S. 57 (2000)]. An attack on these concepts erodes parental rights and the foundation for home education.

Artist: Bronze Radio Return
Album: Shake! Shake! Shake!
Genre: Rock
Line the room*
Find a drink and drain the glass as fast as you can think to
The cheap perfume
In a room of people watching it intoxicates you
They start to play
Then they start to play
It shakes the floor
It stings your ears, but this is what we trade our hearing for
The crowd stands still
No one's moving, they'd just rather stand and wait until
Someone starts to move
Someone starts to move
Shake, shake, shake
It's all what you make of it, take what you will
You know, know, know your only mistake
Is if you stand still
So shake, shake, shake
It's all what you make of it, break it until
You know, know, know your only mistake
Is if you stand still
It's only up to you
It's only up to you
Forget yourself
This room is hot, but we can make it hotter with your help
I'll dance with you
We'll dance together until everybody's moving too
Everybody moves
When everybody moves
It's only up to you
It's only up to you

DHT Holdings Management Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
DHT Regal completed its third special survey and dry dock on time and on budget and entered the TI Pool during the quarter. The Aframaxes Overseas Rebecca and Overseas Ania were both redelivered under that time charters, and subsequently, sold during the quarter. We incurred a books loss in -- a book loss in the quarter of $1.4 million on the sale of the 2 vessels in the second quarter.
A loss of $900,000 related to the Overseas Rebecca was recorded in the first quarter of 2012. The proceeds from the sales were used to further reduce the outstanding debt under the RBS credit facility.
The Aframax DHT Sophie was redelivered under its time charter in June 2012. The vessel is currently trading in the stock market with the intention to enter into a pool during the second half of 2012.
With that, I hand over to Trygve, who will highlight how we are positioned for these continued tough times. Trygve?
Trygve Preben Munthe Thank you, Svein. This is certainly difficult times in the tanker markets. As we all know, we're suffering from oversupply with way too many new buildings coming into the market. When we combine this with a generally soft world economy, we believe the tanker market recovery is some time away. We believe DHT is well-positioned for this market environment. As you've have heard us say numerous times, we have no scheduled installments until the first quarter of '15 and no debt maturities until 2016 and '17. Further, we enjoy extraordinarily low interest rates on a large portion of our loans. As a matter fact, our current weighted average interest cost is only 3.16%, and that's all in. This comes out to about $6.9 million per year or about $2,100 per day per shift. Importantly, once our last interest rate swaps comes to an end in January next year, the interest rate drops to 1.6% all in, and the annual interest cost to $3.5 million, which equates to a meager $1,100 per day per shift. Of course, all else being equal. Read the rest of this transcript for free on seekingalpha.comCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

I just got an e-mail from my daughter asking if I thought she should send this letter to her sisters-in-law. They had an "incident" at one of their homes and one SIL wouldn't let go of my GS so that his mother or father could use calming techniques on him. I think it is an excellent letter and asked her if I could post it here. It may help some of you with talking to your own families or friends.....or just let you know you are not alone! What its Like to Be Us 12-28-11 By Bonnie C Most parents of children with special needs have run into that well-meaning, even loving stranger, that parent acquaintance, that family member or friend who shares their theory of why your child acts as they do. They say things like, Have you considered changing his diet? I read an article (or I had a friend, or my child was behaving that way, and this is what I did.) They talk to their friends and start their sentences with things like, You know, it I had him for a week or two, Id straighten him out or If they would just discipline him They tell you it must be hormones. The comments and conversations often come from a place of love, concern or frustration, people not realizing that you yourself have been in that very place of love, concern and frustration with your child to the millionth power and degree. You yourself do not want to believe you have a child who will always behave this way. You dont want to think you may have to stay by his side maybe for his whole life, helping him navigate social pitfalls and emotional triggers and their attending consequences. And maybe you wont. But maybe you will, you just dont know how the dice will roll. The fact is, my kid lashes out sometimes when he is overwhelmed and the triggers that overwhelm often do not make sense to others. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Anxiety disorder, Peer Relational Difficulties, Sensory Processing Disorder, Nonverbal Learning Disability, Mood Disorder and Pervasive Developmental Disorder as well as Intermittent Explosive Disorder are some of the diagnoses that put him in a category of having special needs, sometimes invisible as they can seem. As others have pointed out in various ways, hitting or kicking or name calling arent special. When people see these behaviors, they resort to all of the above comments and urge us to do something telling us that even if our kid has these diagnoses, he cannot be allowed to hurt others. I agree. My child should not be allowed to hurt others. Ever. And hes not. We dont let him think its the right thing to do, neither by our words or actions. If you ask him, he knows that hurting someone else is never okay. In fact, when he does it, in a fit of lost control and surge of blinding emotion, sensory feedback, and frustration, he usually has huge regret, damaged self esteem, saying things like, Im a bad boy, Im bad, just kill me when we discuss what happened after he has calmed down and is able to take it in. The people who imagine that discipline and taking away privileges for hurting someone in these cases are not seeing the part where he punishes himself the most. There is often more to the picture that they cannot see. And then there are the eerie times when he does something to someone not even realizing that he has done it, or that its inappropriate. You think to yourself, Surely he has to know that isnt right, everyone knows that. But when you talk to him about why he pushed the boy off the platform, there was a logical explanation, spoken without anger or frustration: Because it was his turn and he didnt go. He has an inability to think ahead to the consequences of his actions and to understand the emotions of others. And what makes it harder to understand, sometimes he does know what someone else is feeling, like when he says, Im sorry that happened after I spill my coffee everywhere. But Executive functioning* is impaired. So to those people that have been affected by my sons disability in a negative way, we are truly sorry. All of us. Weve been where you are. Weve been bitten, scratched, called every name there is, punched, spit at, kicked, endured everything that comes out of our son when he has lost control. We know what it feels like, have felt the hurt and rage it induces, the fear for delicate parts of the face, the natural indignation that follows. How dare you do this to me when I provide everything you need and more?? We have also devoted ourselves to learning about what makes him tick, take him to his many therapies, treatments, doctor visits, evaluations, go to parenting groups, have professional support, stay up into the wee hours of the morning discussing what we know or need to do. We decline invitations knowing some events will be too much for all of us to handle. We even have to make painful decisions sometimes about those who dont understand. Should we stop seeing them? Will they ever be able to be with him without judging us all? We spend a lot of time researching how to help him, educating others about his overlapping, often confusing conditions, and above all, supporting him, loving him and teaching him to love, to appreciate life, to be kind and generous to others. Nothing can prepare any of us for this parenthood journey. And sometimes our lives are redefined in ways we never expected. It can be lonely, confusing, heartbreaking. But it can also be strengthening, powerful and tender. I tell my son that Im so glad hes my boy. He is the best boy for me, he is the child who was meant for us, and we will always do our best for him and stand up for him when he cant do it on his own. What we ask of you is to trust us. Trust that if you or your child gets hurt, we are all feeling the right feelings about it. (And chances are, lots of extra feelings, too.) We are working on helping our son gain control of himself. But for him, it has to be painstakingly learned, minute by minute, over and over again. It cant be instantly punished or disciplined away. Every single time is an opportunity for him and for us to use the situation to learn. We talk about and act out what to do next time it happens. And yes, if its a situation in which we know he is likely to erupt, we frontload instructions about what consequence there will be if he has trouble while also teaching him alternatives to the behavior we dont want to see. But some things you just cant prepare for, and in a flash, its happened already. And so we remove him, apologize and leave. And then we continue doing everything else we do, because that is all we can. *The executive functions are a set of processes that all have to do with managing oneself and one's resources in order to achieve a goal. It is an umbrella term for the neurologically-based skills involving mental control and self-regulation.
Thank you for sharing. It sounds like he may have hurt another child?? My DD ended up getting a bloody nose while playing soccer and almost received a concussion from a child with a few of those disorders. Needless to say, I was not very pleased. I demanded the other child not be on the field at the same time as my DD as did the other parents. The other parents have a right to keep their child safe as well. If he truly has no concept of his actions, his parents cannot let them out of their site while around other children; as difficult as it is. What if the child that was pushed off the platform hit his head and died? As extreme as it, that can happen. While the letter may help a bit, it sounds like the family may already know that. They are just trying to keep their children safe as well. It's a very tough situation and I wish all your family the best.
I don't want to start an argument here but I find your post pretty representative of an intolerent mindset. Accidents do happen and that is no reason to exclude these children from regular activities. These children do have a "concept of their actions" but are often times not as coordinated, quick responding, or able to immediately determine the appropriate action. The letter asks for understanding and tolerance. She is giving an explanation for the difficulties of the child not an excuse. Nor is she asking someone to purposely take abuse. Judgment and ridicule and rejection are not the ways to handle these children, much less anyone. I am surprised your team was allowed to exclude a player at the persistence of parents, but perhaps there is more to the story.
I'm not intolerant at all as I do have family members with special needs. In my DD's case, the child came over, punched my DD in the face for taking the ball away and when she fell down smashed her head on the ground. I'm sorry, but if it is not safe for other children; that child should not be allowed to participate. As heartless as it may seem my DD could have been killed when her head was smashed on the ground. So, as you can see there was more to the story. There may be more to the OP's story too which is why I asked if someone was hurt. Perhaps he is continuously hurting the other children. I don't know; which is why I asked.
I do not want to be flamed here by any means, but all children have rights, not only those with a disability. When children are playing a sport, they have a right to not be hit by another player. I do understand disabilities & I also see the other side of the coin. What would a special needs parent reaction be if their child was hit back by the other "child"? Not all children are taught not to "fight back"' & some children don't understand that the child who hit them didn't really mean to. It may not be intentional, but that other childs rights were violated too. When these special needs children become adults & are functioning in society,it is expected that they follow the law. The police & justice system don't give a flying hoot that your adult kid had an IEP that was adhered to throughout school. They don't care what their dx is, they will be arrested & prosecuted if they they are fit for trial. If they aren't, they are kept behind bars in a mental hospital until they are fit. Please do not take my post the wrong way, quite the opposite here. My son is 25 & Bipolar. He stopped taking his med's & will self medicate (yes mom's to young children, some have a tendency to do this) He was caught up in a drug sting & arrested with felony charges. Guess what, didn't make a darn bit of difference that he was & has been Mentally Ill with an illness that has been proven many self medicate.....nope did not matter. I have never gone this much into detail about my son on this board, but this "letter" made me want to. My post is not meant to put anyone down. All children have rights, not only special needs children. Parents of young children with special needs do need to realize that once their special needs child turns 18, possibly even 16 & hurts someone to where they require medical attention, they will be arrested. The law is the law. I want to say 75% of the prision (not jail), but prision inmates are mentally ill (I could be off on the exact number but I know it is well over 50%) I do not agree with our justice system for this reason. Writing a letter isn't going to help then. Sometimes we are in denial of the situation, yet we think we see it clearly. I used to say my son can't help he self medicates, it's a fact many do. WRONG! My son can help it. HE & he alone is making a concious decision to not take his med's & not go to a P-doc or a T-doc... It is his doing. PS.... I know the letters don't work with a felony because I wrote them, & so did neighbors, not to mention the attorney
The incident which caused my daughter to write the "essay" was caused by an adult (his aunt) teasing the child. When he had a meltdown and began calling the aunt names, she grabbed him and wouldn't let go (even after both the child's parents and her own husband told her to.) Of course this escalated him into kicking, yelling, hitting, etc. He absolutely doesn't want to be touched--major sensory issues. Her husband's family thinks the child should just be spanked and then he would "act right." He is 8 years old. The aunt's husband is a physician and "gets it" but others in the family don't. Their latest theory is this is caused by his hormones....I wonder what they thought caused the problems for the other 7 years of his life. In my DD's case, the child came over, punched my DD in the face for taking the ball away Although the child's reaction was harsh--s/he was provoked by your child "taking the ball away." Would you have reacted the same way if a "normal" child had done this? Often parents see the child's parents taking care of situations and think the child is "getting by" with something when the parent knows from experience that confrontation only makes things worse. I noticed in my years as a teacher that many times other teachers escalated a child's difficulties by reacting to things that they would have "let slip by" in other children.
I think it's a well written letter, but I'm not sure it makes the point that needs to be made right now. This woman put her hands on someone else's child, without their consent, and then refused to stop when requested to do so by the child's own parents? Unless there was some huge safety issue the parents couldn't see (e.g. she's holding the child back from a rattle snake, or a baby lying on the ground) there's no excuse. I think there's a place for a "please have some empathy for our side of the story" letter, but this isn't it. At this point the message needs to be, "What you did is unacceptable. It will not be tolerated in the future." I am so sorry your dear grandchild had to experience that.
My children are grown now and I know how difficult it is to raise a regular child never mind one with special needs. I cannot begin to imagine how difficult your life has been and that doesn't mean you don't feel your child is a gift from God. However as a mother my primary responsibility is to keep my child as safe as possible and if that means that an aggressive child is not allowed to interact with him or her due to past problems then I would expect that you would understand the other parents point of view as well. If this was an unrestrained dog in a park that is usually docile but is provoked by the inadvertant actions of a small child and then that dog attacks said child, the dog suffers consequences and is usually confined . Like someone said, pushing a child off a platform is unacceptable social behavior as that child could have been killed or worse if that platform had been at a train station. Life isn't always fair and all disabilitites are not viewed in the same light. When a mother sees her child in danger, she is not going to be politically correct . You are trying to give your child a rich and full life despite his special circumstances but his rights and needs cannot co exist with that of other children if his actions endanger them. Maybe when he is older he will learn to control his behavior through therapy and then he will be able to still have those same issues but find away to rechannel his aggression. As long as he is a danger to others though you will have issues with other parents who are being just as protective of their children.
I am sorry this is ridiculous!!! So, with a typical child, say a 3 year old, when they bite another child at preschool they should be banned from the preschool until they learn not to bite? How will you know when they learn that if you have ostracized them? So accidents happen but if it is a child with a disability, the disability means they can't learn from the experience? and therefore they should be banned until they learn? How will you know when they have learned? Are you advocating for SEPARATE activities for "typical" children and those with "disabilities"???? Unrestrained dog? Really? How is that even relevant? When/how the heck did pushing a child off a platform even get into this discussion? AND so sorry but the ADA says our children CAN coexist with your children. Sorry, I am not usually this fiesty but you have definitely hit a nerve.
If it is a private preschool, yes that child can be & if the other parents insist, will be asked to leave. My DS went to private, was not aggressive & never hit or bit. When it was "quiet" time my DS would talk to himself. When they played outside on the Monkey Bars, mine climbed the fence. After one month they told me he could no longer attend until he learns to follow the rules. They also said he had a learning disability & I may want to take him to the Public School District to be tested. If he did, he would benefit from their free pre-k for children with learning disorders. I did as they suggested & found out he had an IQ of 149 at the age of 3. That was part of his behavioral problem. The point I am making is, yes, yes, yes......a child who attends private school, can be told to leave for any reason.
I could be wrong but the taking the ball away term, I read as the child who hit her DD was on the opposing team. In soccer, you do take the ball away, that is how you "play" & is not provoking in any way
In OP's situation, I don't see how the letter will make any difference. You're describing a bully and bullies won't recognize their own behaviour as being a problem. I honestly think that OP's DD will basically just have to make sure that DGS is never without somebody who will protect him when this woman is around. It stinks, it's not fair, but I honestly believe that's what it's going to come down to. DGS needs to be protected from this bully. As to the other issue of inclusion of special needs kids, there does have to be some personal responsibility involved in the inclusion. I know my DD13 reacts to what she perceives as slights in a very agressive manner so I won't put her in a position involving team activities that are physical because she sees the dynamic as being slighted and I have no way of knowing just when she'll lash out. I'm not even positive she would at this point but there is that likelihood. I won't put her in team sports because of this. It's not fair to her to put her in that position and it's not fair to the rest of the team or opposing teams to be at risk of her physically lashing out over what the rest of the world sees as normal team sport activity. By taking this personal responsibilty for my DD I'm also hoping that leagues do not see a need to exclude special needs kids who CAN understand the dynamics of team sports because that would be wrong. But, it would also be wrong of me to inflict my DD on the team. It really does go both ways. There are lots of activities that she CAN do and does enjoy and excells at so we focus on those activities and leave learning the team dynamic concepts to her therapies where it's safe for all involved. In the situation where a girl physically attacked another player over taking the ball, I have trouble believing that the parents of that girl have never seen her react that way before over that kind of situation. Where's their responsibility to their child to not put her in this position where she doesn't understand the dynamics and doesn't have the tools to handle the situation as well as to the other kids who are at risk because of it? With inclusion comes responsibility. Again, I'm saying this as a parent to a child who could potentially react without warning as this girl did.
The attitude you have will get your DD far! You are building her confidence by having her do activities that she can handle. The worst thing a parent can do to a child is set them up for failure. Just because the ADA states they have a right to do it, doesn't mean they can. The same goes for the normal child, and if they can't, they don't. The "normal" child's parents don't force them to stay, just to make a point. You have to build their self esteem & by placing them into situations where they cannot control themselves very well makes them fell like a failure. Yes, there is some trial & error,but when you see the same aggressive behaviors when playing a team sport, you just don't have them play team sports. I work in ESE in my local school district & I have seen parents pull there children from ESE classes because they would rather have them go for a standard HS diploma. 99% of these students end up failing. They aren't capable of doing the work, but the parents insist. They don't realize, they may be taking the "stigma" of ESE away, but they aren't helping their child. I have also seen parents of Autistic students trying to keep them in the "normal" class, some make it & some don't I really hate to say this, but sometimes parents cannot accept their child for who they are. They need to accept that there are things their child will never be able to do as others can. They need to focus on what they can do & build on it
Ah, the curse of low expectations. And you work in this field? That's a sad commentary. I'm a parent who refused to listen to the school's "expert" opinion. Good for my child that I did....school was flat-out WRONG, and they see that now. But if I'd thrown my kid under the bus 5 years ago, he'd be so far behind now he'd never catch up.
I definitely believe that my daughter is capable of a lot and frankly she tests quite high for IQ and does very well academically. If the school ever tried to pull her from mainstream classes for anything but advanced placement then I'd be fighting. I did agree to have her NOT put in our district's equivalent of gifted classes even though she tested slightly over the cutoff needed because she really didn't need the added stress of the extra work when she was also dealing with all her ASD issues but that's the only type of holding her back academically I would ever agree to. Her ASD actually makes her very strong in most academic areas. She just needed goals in her IEP involving pragmatic language and executive functioning skills in order to acheive her full abilities in a couple subjects where these skills are becoming more and more necessary as she gets older. Many ASD kids can be very high acheivers academically. If 99% of kids with ASDs are incapable of earning regular high school diplomas then I'd say the district is failing them in earlier years where they should be learning the skills necessary to function in the classroom and then further in life beyond school. Yes many ASD kids are not high functioning, but more than 1% should be able to get a regular high school diploma. Something is seriously wrong with this. Yes I do know that my child will never do some things but that's true of any child since everybody has strengths and weaknesses. My child will do anything she chooses to set her mind to. We're just very open and aware of what areas include greater hurdles and we're also aware of what impacts there could be on others. I was not suggesting imposing limitations. I was saying take personal responsibility, especially in areas that can impact those around the child. That is very different.
As far as the other kids having a right to being safe, I agree. What I think the argument here is isolated incidents are one thing, a child that repeatedly hits and bites and kicks (with issues or without) should be removed from the setting because for whatever reason, they can't handle it and are causing harm. Flame away here but it's not fair for a parent to put a child with issues when they know the kid will lash out. Again, its the difference between isolated occurances and habitual behavior.
The problem with special ed is walking that tight rope of realistic vs. high/low expectations. I used to teach kids with intellectual disabilities. Some had other emotional or behavioral problems as well. I expected my class to behave. I hated it when another teacher would excuse a misbehavior such as hitting with the phrase, "They're MR kids, what do you expect?" I expected them to behave, and many of them did. It was not without a lot of effort, but I was told by many subs that I had one of the best behaved classes. Not that they were perfect, far from it. On the other hand, I had to make sure my expectations were realistic. I'm sorry, a kid with a 40 IQ is probably never going to go get their PhD or run a Fortune 500 company. There is nothing wrong with that. My expectations for my students is that they would be functional readers. They would have enough reading and math skills to hold down a job, possibly in a supported or sheltered environment if need be. Some would be able to live independently, some would need assistance from a family member or organization. There is nothin wrong with that. I absolutely wanted to have high expectations for my students, but setting the bar to be unobtainable IMO, is just as bad as setting the bar too low. There has to be a balance. As to the letter, that's a tough one. For the situation, it looks like overkill. This is not about the aunt not accepting the child, this is about her actions being unacceptable no matter what diagnoses or lack thereof a child has. And previous posters do have a point. I have had aggressive kids in my class. We had to take measures to make sure the other kids were safe. I a all for inclusion when it can be done properly. I also realize accidents can happen. But if a child is continually violent in a situation, that needs to be looked at. And yes, that might mean cannot participate in an activity. If I have a student who continually has meltdowns in the cafeteria for instance, I will have that student eat in the classroom. I do not put them in the environment they cannot handle and where they could be dangerous. We try to work our way up there, but I am responsible for keeping that student and the other kids safe as well. There has to be a balance between the rights of the child and safety of others. I'm not saying that the child should be isolated completely, but steps do need to be taken to ensure safety of other people as well.
I absolutely agree with you when it comes to high functioning autism. But I have known many kids who are not nearly as high functioning as the daughter you describe. Austism does have a high comorbidity rate with other disabilities, including Down Syndrome. The kids I've known that were more severe were so unable to get out of their own heads so to speak, that things like reading and math were next to impossible. Not that their teachers didn't try, but they truly would not have succeeded if placed in regular education. Believe me, it takes a lot to get kids into our self contained autism program. Most higher functioning kids are not, they are mainstreamed. But the ones there, they really do need it. I love that your daughter is so high functioning, but you cannot paint all kids with autism with the same brush. Although I will agree that if 99% of kids are not getting a regular diploma, that is far too high.
You are taking my words out of context I didn't say all fail & I don't have or give a curse of low expectations at all. If you read what I said, you don't want them to fail. You want to build up their confidence & self esteem. You find what they are good at & build on it. Is that is the curse of low expectations? There are some who cannot accept, it doesn't have to be school. The example of a child who cannot handle team sports, yet a parent will continue to sign them up, are they accepting the fact their child can't handle it? I understand you don't "give up", but somethings you have to learn to accept if you see no improvement over time. Not every child will be able to do all they try to do, be it in school or sports. This goes for any child, not just Special Needs. Babe Ruth didn't play Basketball & Football along with Baseball did he? Albert Einstein wasn't a Soccer player? Frank Sinatra didn't sing Rock n Roll get the picture?

Your keychain fob and polo shirt show pictures of your airplane, so why not the soda machine in your family/media room or hangar? That's the thinking from Denver-based American Soda Machines, which has made a business of restoring and customizing vintage pop vending machines. While the company has units dating back to the 1940s and '50s, the '60s-era Vendo 63 reportedly makes the best "canvas" for custom artwork. Prices for these start at $2,695 plus shipping, but once you own the machine, the price of a can of soda is strictly up to you.
