He used to carry a sarcastic hand puppet with him (two, actually: Mr. Hat and Mr. Twig), but later left them behind. His gender and sexual preferences have been in constant flux.* AnythingThatMoves: He's ''been'' anything that moves and back again at this point.* ApatheticTeacher: When he's not busy belittling his students, he basically phones in his job.* AxCrazy: Has tendencies of this.* BadBadActing: His ventriloquist act...isn't.* {{Catchphrase}}: Occasionally, when he or Mr. Hat is angry:--> "You go to hell! You go to hell and [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment you die!]]"* CharacterDevelopment: Complete with a ''StarWars'' style quest to come to terms with his sexuality. It... didn't entirely stick.* CloudCuckoolander: He believes Mr. Hat and Mr. Twig to be sentient beings, for starters. [[spoiler: Though eventually, it turns out ''[[TheCuckoolanderWasRight they are]]''.]]* ComedicSociopathy* CompanionCube: Mr. Hat and Mr. Twig. [[spoiler:Subverted, as they actually are alive.]]* DemotedToExtra: Originally the second-most prominent adult on the show, he's now limited to a single line in scenes inside the classroom.* DepravedHomosexual: He's been a Depraved Homosexual, a Depraved Heterosexual, a PsychoLesbian... He's a depraved ''whatever''-his-orientation-is-at-the-moment. As Chef puts it:-->"Children, there's a big difference between gay people and Mr. Garrison."* DirtyCoward: In "Super Fun Time" he tries to sacrifice some children to save himself from gunmen.-->Please, don't take me. Take the children, they're worth more for you!* DynamicCharacter* EvilCounterpart: Is hinted to be one for Big Gay Al. While Al is out and proud, stylish and wears a pink shirt, Mr. Garrison is self-loathing, plainly dressed and wears a green shirt. Mr. Garrison made Stan feel like a wuss for getting beaten by his sister, while Big Gay Al taught Stan that being gay isn't a bad thing. Big Gay Al is kind to animals, while Mr. Garrison rammed a gerbil up Mr. Slave's rectum. Mr. Garrison uses ''"fag"'' as a slur against gays, while Big Gay Al wants to reappropriate it to use against Harley riders. Both are mentor figures to the main boys and have had a relationship with Mr. Slave.* FirstLawOfGenderBending: Played straight in the episode where he first gets the male-to-female operation. He changes his mind, but his testicles get destroyed and he is unable to go back to being a man until the Season 12 episode mentioned above. Then subverted in season 12, when he gets another operation to go back.* FreudianExcuse: Inverted. He has been deeply tormented all his life because his father ''didn't'' molest him as a child, thinking it meant that his father didn't love him. Bizarrely, his ''mom'' also thinks the same thing.-->'''Garrison's Mom:''' That's not true! Your father ''loved'' you! Often!* GayConservative: Despite his ever-changing sexual orientation he is generally depicted as being one of the town's Republicans rather than a Democrat. * HairTriggerTemper: The only adult in South Park as remotely volatile as Eric Cartman.* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: He was this way before coming out of the closet.* {{Jerkass}}: Though since his second change in season twelve, this has been toned down somewhat.** He is, however, incredibly racist.* KnowNothingKnowItAll: Whenever he tries to teach children. From the first episode alone: "ChristopherColumbus discovered America and was the Indians' best friend. He helped the Indians win their war against Frederick Douglass, and freed the Hebrews from Napoleon, and discovered France." Becomes a RunningGag in later seasons when he tries to teach the children the plots of various popular plays and television shows, for example [[CrowningMomentOfFunny presenting the plots of Game of Thrones and Les Miserables as real history.]]* PetTheDog: In ''Best Friends Forever'', Mr. Garrison is arrested for trying to bring food and water to Kenny whilst the latter is in hospital.* RapeAsBackstory: Averted, [[ArentYouGoingtoRavishMe much to his disappointment.]]* SadistTeacher: His emotional imbalances cause him to be this quite often.* StrawMisogynist:-->Well I'm sorry, I just don't trust something that bleeds for five days and doesn't die.* TransparentCloset: For the first few seasons.* {{Transsexual}}: Became a woman in season 9 and back to a man in season 12.* TurnInYourBadge* YouAreWhatYouHate: He was quite homophobic in the early seasons before coming to terms with his sexuality.** Then became homophobic again after becoming a woman... until s/he became a lesbian.[[/folder]][[folder:Chef (Jerome [=McElroy=])]][[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chef_4891.jpg]]->''"Hello there, children!"''!!!!!!Voiced by: Isaac Hayes (regular voice), Peter Serafinowicz (Darth Chef)The school chef and token minority of the early seasons (Seasons 1-9). The former go-to guy for advice for the boys, which was often dispensed in R-rated songs about making love to women.* BigBeautifulMan: Women love his chocolate balls even though he's overweight.* [[spoiler:BrainwashedAndCrazy: In his final episode.]]* CatchPhrase: "Hello there, children!"* DroppedABridgeOnHim: A massively violent and gory one to boot. Given the falling out between his voice actor and the rest of the staff, it's not at all surprising.** [[spoiler: Reappears in the Video Game, only to die again...and his skin is burnt off.]]* [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Everyone Calls Him Chef]]* [[spoiler:ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Along with many other things, such as mutilation.]]* IntercourseWithYou: The subject nearly every time he sings, intentional or not.* KilledOffForReal: In "The Return of Chef". [[spoiler:Or maybe not.]]* MagicalNegro: In fact, while he was on the show he seemed to be the only adult with any kind of common sense.** Subverted when he sometimes decides that helping the boys would be more trouble than it's worth (in "Simpsons Already Did It", for example, he starts singing a song when he realizes the boys just told him that they killed their teacher and the autopsy found their "sea men" in her stomach, and he starts preparing to send them to Thailand instead). And when Chef goes crazy, he ''really'' goes crazy.** In the episode "Red Hot Catholic Love", when the confused boys asked Chef why and what the priest want to put something on their butts, he walks away.-->'''Chef:''' Hello there, children!-->'''Stan:''' Chef! What would a priest want to stick up my butt?-->'''Chef:''' ...g'bye!** Similarly, when they ask him what a prostitute is in "Fat Camp" he gets angry:-->'''Chef:''' Dag-nabbit, children! How come every time you come in here you've got to be asking me questions I shouldn't be answering!? "Chef, what's a clitoris? What's a lesbian, Chef? How come they call it a rim job Chef?!" For once, can't you kids come in here and say "Hey Chef, nice day isn't it?!"* [[spoiler:MentorOccupationalHazard]]: Although this was really just a case of RealLifeWritesThePlot.* NWordPrivileges: {{Subverted|Trope}}. He calls the boys "crackers."** Of course, the boys don't even know what it means. (Although Cartman does later on, as he says to Stan: "Token is gonna want to kick your cracker teeth in!)* OnlySaneMan: At least among the other adults.** Until his final episode, [[spoiler:he was brainwashed into becoming a child molester.]]* {{Pluralses}}: While at the proctologist, he at one point tells Kyle that a proctologist is, "a doctor that specializes in your asshole."* ReallyGetsAround: He has alot of sex with alot of women.* ReasonableAuthorityFigure* TakeOurWordForIt: Whenever the children ask about something he ''really'' doesn't want to tell them.* TokenMinority: The only non-white adult in the town in the early seasons.* VerbalTic: Always greets the kids with "Hello there, children.", even if there's only one of them.** His father has also been heard using "children" when referring to one child. Although it was Cartman, so it could have been a fat joke.* WhereDaWhiteWomenAt: He has had sex with lots of white women (cf. "An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig," where, while watching Kyle's elephant make love to Cartman's pig, Chef realizes that it's similar to the many times he's made it with a white woman), but really, he's not picky.[[/folder]][[folder:Mr. Mackey]][[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mister-mackey_419.jpg]]->''"Drugs are bad, mmm-kay?"''!!!!!!Voiced by: Trey ParkerSouth Park Elementary's guidance counselor with a very large head. Incredibly mellow, mmm-kay?* BerserkButton: Don't crap in the urinal. Don't touch his mountain of stuff. Don't take tooth decay even remotely lightly. And don't partake in whatever other new childhood trauma-spawned pet peeve he's dealing with this week.* BewareTheNiceOnes: Is often nice unless one of his various aforementioned buttons are pushed.* ButtMonkey: Most of the kids have no respect for him whatsoever, as shown in "Mystery of the Urinal Deuce" and "Erection Day".* CluelessAesop: Often tries to deliver messages to the kids with no logic or knowledge behind them. At one point he fails at teaching sex ed because he's forgotten how it works.* DrugsAreBad: The TropeNamer, heavily parodied. After giving an anti-drug speech to the class, he got [[MisBlamed busted for allegedly holding marijuana]], leading to him being fired. The ensuing depression and poverty led him to using the same drugs he talked about to cope.* {{Flanderization}}: "Mystery of the Urinal Deuce" and onward have begun play up the angry aspect of his personality. That was originally a one off/one time thing, but with Seasons 14 onward, Mr. Mackey's temper has become more frequent to the point of consuming his personality. Many fans feel that this has derailed his character severely. Compare "Ike's Wee Wee" to "Royal Pudding". * FreudianExcuse: The reason for his stern attitude towards directing a play about tooth decay is because [[spoiler: his father was killed by tooth decay]].* HairTriggerTemper: He seems to have developed quite a nasty one recently, for example "Mystery of the Urinal Deuce", "Insheeption" and "Royal Pudding".--> "I will rape you in the fucking mouth, m'kay! I will rape you in the fucking mouth!"* HeWhoFightsMonsters: In "Bass to Mouth," he (along with the Principal Victoria) severely rebuke Cartman for nearly driving two kids to suicide. [[spoiler:The near-end of the episode sees him throwing Cartman under a moving bus, while making it look like a suicide, for his own purposes]].* JerkAss: Seasons 14 onwards.* MeaningfulName: [[PunnyName Say his name out loud a few times]].* [[OddFriendship Odd Attraction]]: Being considered so very unattractive by society is what attracts Ms Choksondik to him.* OminousOwl: In "Insheeption," he's revealed to have a hoarding problem stemming from a childhood incident when he was molested by a Woodsy Owl mascot (''"Give a hoot, don't pollute!"''). When Mr. Mackey faces up to this traumatic memory in a dream, the owl mascot turns into a monstrous embodiment of Mr. Mackey's trauma. Eventually, believe it or not, the other people in the dream have to bring in ''[[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]]'' to stop the owl.* SternTeacher: Although he's started crossing over into SadistTeacher as of late (see above episodes).* TooDumbToLive: No one in their right mind would accept a gift from Eric Cartman of all people after [[spoiler: throwing him bodily under a bus]]. You can't really feel sympathy for Mackey's comeuppance in this episode.* TookALevelInJerkass: See HairTriggerTemper.* VerbalTic: Mr. Mackey ends most of his sentences with "m'kay".** It also crosses over into other languages; when speaking Spanish in "Rainforest Schmainforest" he uses "m'bien".[[/folder]][[folder:Diane Choksondik]][[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/miss-choksondik_6605.jpg]]!!!!!!Voiced by: Trey Parker (2000-2002)A grossly big-breasted woman who temporarily teaches the 4th graders until her death in Season 6.* DeathByIrony: It seems, from the comments made about the contents of her stomach ''post-mortem'', that she literally... well, I'm sure you can figure it out.* ExtremeDoormat: Until Mr. Garrison teaches her how to keep her students from walking all over her.* FanDisservice: The sex scene between her and Mr. Mackey in "Proper Condom Use".* GagBoobs: They practically sag to her feet. In one episode the rest of the staff discusses asking her to wear a giant bra but they are too afraid of offending her to do so.* KilledOffForReal* MeaningfulName: Just read it out loud. Interestingly, the children never catch on to this obvious source of mockery, instead calling her "Ms Makesmesick" or some tame variation thereof.* [[OddFriendship Odd Attraction]]: Being considered so very unattractive by society is what attracts Mr. Mackey to her.* SternTeacher: She at least tries to be this.[[/folder]][[folder:Principal Victoria]][[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/principal-victoria_8123.jpg]]->''"Ooh my, what an exciting day!"''!!!!!!Voiced by: Mary Kay Bergman (1997-1999), Eliza Schneider (1999-2003), April Stewart (2004-present)The principal of South Park Elementary, constantly trying to please everyone and failing.* AmericanAccents: Minnesotan.* BenevolentBoss: Sometimes.* BerserkButton: She has zero tolerance for jokes about breast cancer, to the point where she not only allowed, but ''encouraged'' Wendy to beat up Cartman for making fun of it. This stems from the fact that [[spoiler: she is a breast cancer survivor.]]* MeaningfulName: A {{spoonerism}} of ''{{Dallas}}'' actress' Victoria Principal's name.* PointyHairedBoss* StonersAreFunny: In "Helen Keller!

She had a prominent role in ''City On The Edge Of Forever'', [[spoiler: [[DreamWithinADream though it turns out to be part of a dream within a dream]], something that [[LampshadeHanging even the "dream" Veronica Crabtree acknowledges.]]]] * [[spoiler:BackForTheDead]]* BreakingTheFourthWall: In ''Cartman's Incredible Gift'', Sergeant Yates addresses her lack of prominence in the show [[spoiler: whilst investigating her murder.]]--> ''"I know she hadn't been in any recent episodes, but dammit, she deserved better than this."''* GivenNameReveal: Not that there was much point by the time it's revealed.* JerkAss* KickTheDog: In ''City On The Edge Of Forever'', she continually threatens to shoot a cute little bunny if the kids don't "sit down and shut up." [[spoiler: Though it's later revealed to have been all part of Stan's double-dream, this raises questions as to how much he (and possibly the other children) feared her.]] * [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal: Was murdered by Michael Deats (a.k.a. the left hand killer) in ''Cartman's Incredible Gift'']]. * NoIndoorVoice: Crabtree yells almost all the time.* PutOnABus: Ironic trope indeed. ''The Simpsons Already Did It'' was her last proper appearance, aside from a cameo in the ending of ''I'm A Little Bit Country''. She disappeared for a while, until... well... [[spoiler:see KilledOffForReal.]]* RunningGag: Kids would say something rude or vulgar, only for Mrs. Crabtree to yell "WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" The kid would respond with something non-vulgar that sounded similar, and she would let it go. Example:-->'''Stan:''' Yeah, whatever, ya fat bitch!-->'''Ms. Crabtree:''' WHAT DID YOU SAY?!-->'''Stan:''' I said I have a bad itch.-->'''Ms. Crabtree:''' Oh.** PlayedWith in "Cartman's Mom is a Dirty Slut:"-->'''Stan:''' We're not getting on, you fat ugly bitch!-->'''Ms. Crabtree:''' WHAT DID YOU SAY?!?-->'''Stan:''' I said "We're not getting on, you fat ugly bitch."-->'''Ms Crabtree:''' Oh.

Yesterday was a bad EC day. Other than her morning poo, DD refused the potty the rest of the day. Even right after naps. She cried every time I tried to put her on it. She is teething at the moment, cutting her top front teeth. She was cranky and clingy all day. She kept giving me her signal for potty, but was just doing it to be picked up. The few times I ignored her, because I was trying to get a meal together or deal with DS, she peed her pants. I think she was holding on.
Today on the other hand, she did not pee herself once. She woke up dry. And stayed that way even when I took DS to an indoor playground, for him to play with peers and out of the rain. In the three hours we were there, I took DD to the bathroom three times. They have these small toilets for little kids. She peed twice and refused the potty the last time. However, she was dry when we got home. Tonight, I sent a dry cloth diaper to the wash.
There are good days and bad days.
Sometimes, I wonder if I should take her to the potty when she is asking over and over, but refusing to use it once I get her there. I don't want to turn her off the potty, but at the same time I want to enforce that her signaling me that way means going to the potty.
She makes a 'mmmm mmmm' sound and holds up her hands and waves them back and forth.
God gave Joseph his sister Juliet on November 19th, 2010.
Tough call. You, as her mother, probably know her best. Consistency is the key – whatever it is.
DD pulled the screaming and crying whenever we took her to the potty starting at about 6mo, even when she did the sign. I tried to keep taking her, but realized, like you, that it was her only signal so if she wanted to be picked up, she'd do it too. Is there a possibility to teach her some new signs to try to differentiate between potty and snuggles?

Louise - That is a tough one! I think you're doing a great job! I don't really know much about EC b/c I'm so new to it, but just wanted to offer encouragement! From what I understand there will be those good and rough days. Keep up the good work momma!
Sarah - What did you do when she started going through that crying stage? Did you still make her sit there crying? I'm starting to wonder how to handle this situation. I feel like i'm walking a fine line. I don't want him to hate the potty but I also don't want to give up. He doesn't cry every time, just sometimes. I moved the potty from the boring bathroom to his bedroom where there are more things to look at and he seems to like that better... Just wondering if we end up in that crying stage, how others have handled it... thanks!
I would keep taking her to the potty, Louisa, even if she's really using it to be picked up. Even if she refuses it when she gets there, I would go through the motions of taking off her diaper and putting her on it, even if just for a minute. This is for the sake of consistency.
I used to do that with Evie. She was always PO'd when she refused but I still had her sit on the potty for a minute. It didn't take more than a week to help her understand that asking for potty meant "potty", not being picked up and held. Then Evie stopped signalling potty and used other body language for comfort.
good days and bad days… ah these are the times!!! jade does this too especially when something in her life changes (overnight company, teeth, even a big weather change) we try to stay consistent, if she says (signs) potty then it means she goes potty or she needs to learn to stop saying it for everything (took about a week for this to stop!). as for the screaming/crying, this is when we got some cute potty books (little critters has a cute one that she loves!) and we do songs and things to distract her from the fact that she's on the potty, then make a HUGE deal when she goes! this works most of the time! ITA with others though, as the parent this is about communicating with YOUR child and what works for you and them is the best thing!!

text: Gallipoli Campaign Gallipoli Campaign Gallipoli Campaign, April 1915. Date 25 April 1915 – 6 January 1916 Location Gallipoli peninsula, Turkey Result Decisive Ottoman victory Belligerents British Empire Australia British India Ottoman Empire Newfoundland Germany[2] New Zealand Austria-Hungary[3] United Kingdom France Casualties and losses 220,000, 59% casualty 253,000 60% Casualty rate[4] rate[5] The Gallipoli campaign took place at Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey from 25 April 1915 to 9 January 1916, during the First World War. A joint British and French operation was mounted to capture the Ottoman capital of Istanbul, and secure a sea route to Russia. The attempt failed, with heavy casualties on both sides. In Turkey, the campaign is known as the Çanakkale Savaşları (Çanakkale Wars), after the province of Çanakkale. In the United Kingdom, it is called the Dardanelles Campaign or Gallipoli. In France it is called Les Dardanelles. In Australia,[6] New Zealand[7] and Newfoundland,[8] it is known as the Gallipoli Campaign or simply as Gallipoli. It is also known as the Battle of Gallipoli. The Gallipoli campaign resonated profoundly among all nations involved. In Turkey, the battle is perceived as a defining moment in the history of the Turkish people—a final surge in the defence of the motherland as the centuries-old Ottoman Empire was crumbling. The struggle laid the grounds for the Turkish War of Independence and the foundation of the Turkish Republic eight years later under Atatürk, himself a commander at Gallipoli. The campaign was the first major battle undertaken by the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC), and is often considered to mark the birth of national consciousness in both of these countries. As Anzac Day, the 25th April remains the most significant commemoration of military casualties and veterans in Australia and New Zealand, surpassing Armistice Day/Remembrance Day. Prelude The Allies were keen to open an effective supply route to Russia: efforts on the Eastern Front relieved pressure on the Western Front. Germany and Austria-Hungary blocked Russia's land trade routes to Europe, while no easy sea route existed. The White Sea in the north and the Sea of Okhotsk in the Far East were distant from the Eastern Front and often icebound. The Baltic Sea was blocked by Germany's formidable Imperial Navy. The Black Sea's only entrance was through the Bosporus, which was controlled by the Ottoman Empire. When the Ottoman Empire joined the Central Powers in October 1914, Russia could no longer be supplied from the Mediterranean Sea. By late 1914, the Western Front, in France and Belgium, had effectively become a stalemate. A new front was desperately needed. Also, the Allies hoped that an attack on the Ottomans would draw Bulgaria and Greece into the war on the Allied side. However, an early proposal to use Greek troops to invade the Gallipoli peninsula was vetoed by Russia as its South Slavic allies would feel threatened by an expansion of Greek power and influence. A first proposal to attack Turkey had already been suggested by French Minister of Justice Aristide Briand in November 1914, but it was not supported. A suggestion by British Naval Intelligence (Room 39) to bribe the Turks over to the Allied side was not taken up. Later in November 1914, First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill put forward his first plans for a naval attack on the Dardanelles, based at least in part on what turned out to be erroneous reports regarding Turkish troop strength, as prepared by Lieut. T. E. Lawrence. He reasoned that the Royal Navy had a large number of obsolete battleships which could not be used against the German High Seas Fleet in the North Sea, but which might well be made useful in another theatre. Initially, the attack was to be made by the Royal Navy alone, with only token forces from the army being required for routine occupation tasks. First Sea Lord John Fisher opposed the campaign and instead preferred a direct naval landing on the north coast of Germany, but Churchill won the argument. [9] Naval attacks Turkish battery at Gallipoli On 19 February, the first attack on the Dardanelles began when a strong Anglo-French task force, including the British battleship HMS Queen Elizabeth, bombarded Turkish artillery along the coast. Many believed victory to be inevitable. Admiral Carden sent a cable to Churchill on 4 March, stating that the fleet could expect to arrive in Istanbul within fourteen days.[10] A sense of impending victory was heightened by the interception of a German wireless message which revealed the Ottoman Dardanelle forts were close to running out of ammunition.[10] When the message was relayed to Carden, it was agreed a main attack would be launched on or around 17 March. It transpired that Carden, suffering from stress, was placed on the sick list by the medical officer, meaning the fleet was now placed in command of Admiral de Robeck. On 18 March the main attack was launched. The fleet, comprising 18 battleships as well as an array of cruisers and destroyers, sought to target the narrowest point of the Dardanelles where the straits are just a mile wide. Despite some damage sustained by ships engaging the Ottoman forts, minesweepers were ordered to proceed along the straits. According to an account by the Turkish General Staff, by 2pm "All telephone wires were cut, all communications with the forts were interrupted, some of the guns had been knocked out... in consequence the artillery fire of the defense had slackened considerably"[11]. The French ship Bouvet was sunk by a mine, causing it to capsize with its entire crew aboard. Minesweepers, manned by civilians and under constant fire of Ottoman shells, retreated leaving the minefields largely intact. HMS Irresistible and HMS Inflexible both sustained critical damage from mines, although there was confusion during the battle whether torpedoes were to blame. HMS Ocean, sent to rescue the Irresistible, was itself struck by an explosion and both ships eventually sank.[12] The French battleships Suffren and Gaulois were also badly damaged. All the ships had sailed through a new line of mines placed secretly by the Ottoman minelayer Nusret 10 days before. The losses prompted the Allies to cease any further attempts to force the straits by naval power alone. Losses had been anticipated during the planning of the campaign, so mainly obsolete battleships had been sent which were unfit to face the German fleet, but many naval officers including de Robeck and Fisher did not consider the losses acceptable. The defeat of the British fleet had also given the Turks a morale boost, although their gunners had almost run out of ammunition before the British fleet retreated. The reasons for the decision to turn back are unclear— if the British had pushed forward with the naval attack, as Churchill demanded, then Gallipoli might not have been a defeat. On the other hand, it is possible that they would simply have trapped themselves in the Sea of Marmara, with insufficient force to take Istanbul and a minefield between themselves and the Mediterranean Sea.

Bid now on one seat in Donna Karan's private plane for a weekend trip to Haiti this fall on a humanitarian trip with Ben Stiller.
Donna is truly passionate about the future of Haiti and we wanted to share her thoughts:
For me, Haiti is where all the initiatives I care so passionately about come together; preserving culture, securing the health and well-being for people and the education of the children who represent their tomorrow. The journey of my two worlds – design and philanthropy – picks up in Haiti. Haiti speaks to my heart. It embraces everything we seek to accomplish at Urban Zen and the vision for Haiti is simple: help Haiti help itself by utilizing and organizing its artisans, natural resources and production potential to create business models that can be properly marketed and distributed throughout the US and Europe. As an American designer and businesswoman, I have a good sense of what makes a product desirable to the western consumer. My trip to Haiti was in follow-up to a previous visit with the Clinton Foundation which focused on the opportunities for creative business development. This trip was about working with the creative communities and helping them in anyway I could. Haiti brings out every emotion you have – despair, compassion, love and hope – as well as the excitement of what's possible with some heartfelt connection and creative collaboration.
We know that a trip with Donna Karan to a place this is such an intrinsic part of her life today, will truly be a life changing experience. Donna is visiting Haiti each month and truly is learning the country on a very intimate basis. Her donation to the RFK Center shows her support for their wonderful work on the ground in Haiti but is also a showcase truly into how she views design potential tomorrow. Accompanied by Ben Stiller and other notables, this is an experience not to be missed. The guest list for the working trip in which a true tour of the wonderful work being accomplished in Haiti will be part of the intinerary is still being finalized and will occur after Mr. Stiller finishes his Broadway performance in the fall of 2011.
Donated By: Donna Karan

Sunday 9:30 PM on FOXIn Season
So viewers, what do you think of the current running season? So far, I love it. It's just getting better and better.
Every show is FUNNY
-even iF- there are "hic cups" of moments that are "too weird" or fall flat..
I love this show. I watch it every weekend when I can and I think the fart/toilet jokes are cute funny. It reminds me of my childhood when I had my former neighbors and best friends over and we would make silly recordings on the tape recorder.
Anyways recently Fox has changed the scheduling of the show to be on at the very last. Could this new scheduled be the kiss of death for the show on Fox? Only to be shown on some cable station or not shown at all?
What do you think?
This is very disheartening to see. I would much rather watch this show over that crap Family guy and its look alikes.

My own son, by contrast, made his first tentative attempt at 14 1/2 months. Liam pulled himself up to a stand, turned, and took one or two steps before hurtling himself into my arms. For the next two months, cruising was an occasional curiosity; he was more content to sit on the floor and look at books. He didn't become a true toddler until he was 17 months old.
Which scenario is normal? Both of them. Walking is a motor skill with more variations than any other, and babies will master it exactly when they're supposed to -- whether it's at 9 months or 18 months. "When parents ask me what's 'normal,' I tell them that when it comes to walking, I don't even like to use the word," says David Geller, M.D., a pediatrician with Childrens Hospital, in Boston. "But I had to see hundreds of children before I understood how vast the range was."
Scientists now know that humans are genetically wired for walking. But a newborn's head is enormous in relation to the rest of his body, his center of gravity is near the chest, and his nervous system develops from the head down. So it takes about 12 months for a baby's proportions to readjust and for him to get his movements coordinated enough even to try, says Michael Wade, Ph.D., a kinesiologist at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities campus.
While there's no definite profile of early walkers, lean babies tend to be mobile sooner than chubby ones, and those with large heads (in relation to their height and weight) usually take their first steps later. "It's physics," says Wade. But it's not just body size and muscle tone: Temperament can also determine when a baby will take his first stroll. Since laid-back kids tend to approach most developmental milestones more cautiously than their more active, restless peers, in general, infants with an easier disposition often walk later.
As long as your child has reached the skills that lay the foundation for walking, such as pulling up and standing, experts say, there's no need for concern if your child's content to crawl while most of his friends are toddling. And it's fine if your child doesn't conquer every gross motor skill in the exact order baby books suggest. "Some kids skip rolling, or scoot instead of crawl, or go from crawling straight to walking," says Dr. Geller.

Intellectuals, Politicians Back Bulgaria's Nobel Peace Prize Bid
Intellectuals and politicians, among whom two presidents, have voiced strong support for the idea to nominate Bulgaria for the Nobel Peace Prize for saving the country's Jews during World War II.
The information was reported by the largest, private TV channel bTV.
The idea for the European Union to nominate Bulgaria for the Prize on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the rescue in 2013 was first launched by former Bulgarian Foreign Minister, and President of the Atlantic Club, Dr. Solomon Passy.
Passy explained that after the EU received the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize, it has the right to nominate other organizations and individuals, adding President Rosen Plevneliev could be leading the campaign.
The only known Bulgarian nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize is the one of Prime Minister, Andrey Lyapchev, in 1910, by the Speaker of the Parliament, Hristo Slaveykov. The Nobel Committee has a rule to not reveal nominations in any area for 50 years.
In addition to prize winners, university lecturers, magistrates, Members of the Parliament, or Ministers can nominate candidates.
In the first half of the 20th century, Bulgaria had 7 nominations for the Nobel Prize for Literature, mostly on the initiative of Sofia University professors, but the Peace Prize has different criteria.
The deadline for the nomination is February 1.
- » Harrison Ford Suffers Injury after Plane Crash with Vintage Vehicle
- » Landslide Stops Traffic in Bulgaria's Kresna Gorge
- » Dub FX to Present His Brand New Live Show in Sofia
- » Bugaria MPs Trade Punches over Claims of 'pro-US Stance'

Eric Johnson lick and the hexatonic scale
One thing I never hear people
talk about is hexatonic scales.
Usually we either deal with
pentatonics (5 notes), or diatonics
(7 notes), but hexatonics fall
right in the middle.
You can think of it as either a diatonic
minus 1 note, or a pentatonic with
1 extra note.
This particular hextaonic scale
that I'm showing here (minor
pentatonic plus the major 2nd)
has a cool sound and you can
create some "Eric Johnson"
sounding licks.
CHeck it out.

Funny about the Hexatonic Scale…. I am working on THE ROVER by Zeppelin and in the performance notes it references how during the solos Page throws in the Hexatonic Scale…. all the masters must be hinting that we all should learn it!!

Thanks Claude! That is a Very COOL Lick. Eric Johnson is one of my favorite guitarists… the ONLY guy I've ever seen who can play the really difficult & "obscure" stuff from Hendrix's ARE YOU EXPERIENCED Masterpiece album. See & hear him do that title cut plus LOVE OR CONFUSION on the Awesome DVD "Live From Austin Texas"… recorded December 14, 1988 for the Austin City Limits TV program. He also does CLIFFS OF DOVER, DESERT ROSE, and other great tunes he's written. It's no surprise that he's toured with Steve Vai & Joe Satriani… he is a master of the instrument.

Nice. So you are 1-2-3b. Very nice sound. I might have played that note progression 1000 times without getting that sound. Hey, I still watch "Secrets" now and then. Thx.
January 18, 2013
D. Burke
I find this very interesting… hexatonic scales…as I noticed that several song melodies I've investigated use them.
Just curious…in the tablature of the lick, I actually count only five different tones(pentatonic), not six (hexatonic). I guess that's because not every note of the hexatonic scale needs to be used. Just caught me off guard that the D (2nd) is added to the C-minor pentatonic scale, but the flatted 3rd (Eb) of the C-minor pentatonic scale is left out. So it's still appears to be a five tone(pentatonic) lick. But, apparently, it's five tones from a six tone scale.
January 18, 2013
D. Burke
Ooops, my bad. Ignore my earlier post.
I see now six tones. Duh. It appears to be a G-minor pentatonic scale, plus the major second(A).
The six notes of the scale are: G -A-Bb-C-D-F.
Got it…finally.
January 19, 2013
That sounded very nice when you ran through it FAST @ around 2:33 – 2:36!
January 19, 2013

Love your easy goin LOL extensions, grab my attention deliveries. Never know what's coming next! PHD: Penta, Hexa, Dia, 5, 6, and 7 note tonics to get down. Thanks Claudio. From still learnin. Rock on …

actually a good lesson…thank u your sound is terrible and fizzy but u are a good coach
January 19, 2013
David Wallace
Seems like a pentatonic with an added 13th? Cool sound and one I've been trying to incorporate lately to change it up a bit.
NOT SURE HOW YOU GOT 13th… NINTH MAYBE? – CLAUDE

Drake Johnson
Hey Claud; Eric Johnson is a Great Player, no doubt about that one, Steve Morris is another Great one, but you don't get to hear much from him lately ! Also, he had a guy oper for him in Minneapolis one night, Larry Mitchle, he was very good, don't know if he's still playing, but his album was recorded with the former leader of the Youngbloods ! Can't recall the title of it off hand ! Anyhow, that was one great show aswell ! Great job on the Johnson lick, and keep rockin, when I get my arm fixed, I have a lot of work to get caught up on my playing, and hope to back to making my fingers working to try some of what you have shown in your video lessons ! Thanks a lot Claude !

Imagine walking into Michael Jordan's house. You take a look at his trophies, he might offer you a beverage and then you pose for a picture. Naturally, your arm is slung around his shoulders.
Then you wake up, right? You can't just walk into the home of a famous athlete and bask in the glory of what they did on the court or track. Unless, of course, that athlete happens to be a horse. Although horse racing has a reputation for being less than accessible, in one area, ...Read full story

Edited by muir#1911 on 1/5/2013 8:11 PM PST
Muir I played MP10 until I died at level 53 in A4 NM. That's usually just my style but I really wanna make it to 60 this time so I'm sticking with easy mode just so I can finally get to 60. After that I will probably be happy to join you. Add me in game if you want. I'd be happy to help out when and where I can.

George Clooney, Sandra Bullock, and Louis on the Gravity Set
George Clooney Snaps Pictures and Dotes on Sandra's Little Louis
George Clooney joined his Gravity costar Sandra Bullock and her adorable little guy, Louis, on the set of the film in London yesterday. The actor used his iPhone to capture some pictures of the supercute tot, who looked precious in a wide-brimmed hat, and chatted with Sandra. George might not have any kids of his own, but he does play a dad in the upcoming The Descendants, and he seemed to have an easy time tapping into his paternal side around Louis. Sandra is back to work after taking some time off during her son's infancy. She just started working with George on the drama about a space-shuttle disaster and recently wrapped filming Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close opposite Tom Hanks. Louis has been a frequent fixture behind the scenes on her movies this year, and it's no surprise that the Oscar-winning mother is among your favorite celebrity moms in the 2011 Pop 100.

Kangerlussuaq Airport (Greenlandic: Mittarfik Kangerlussuaq, Danish: Søndre Strømfjord Lufthavn) (IATA: SFJ, ICAO: BGSF) is an airport in Kangerlussuaq, a settlement in the Qeqqata municipality in central-western Greenland. Alongside Narsarsuaq Airport, it is one of only two civilian airports in Greenland large enough to handle large airliners. It is located away from the coast and hence less prone to fog and wind in comparison with other airports in Greenland. Kangerlussuaq Airport is the international hub for Air Greenland. The Kangerlussuaq area has very few inhabitants, around 500, so few passengers have their origin or destination here. Most passengers change planes.
The first airport was built here during the US occupation in 1941 under the name of Bluie West-8, later renamed Sondrestromfjord Air Base and Sondrestrom Air Base.
In the 1950s, transatlantic civilian flights began using the air base for refuelling. This use fell off in the 1960s as airliners gained greater range, but the base became the hub of Greenland air traffic.
The airport was handed over to civilian Greenlandic control in 1992.
At a late 2011 Air Greenland meeting, plans to move the main Greenland intercontinental air hub away from Kangerlussuaq were agreed upon. According to the 2011 plan three 1,199-meter airstrips will be built; a new airport at Qaqortoq, and extensions at Nuuk, and Ilulissat. New airports will probably also be built at Tasiilaq and Ittoqqortoormiit later. These planned airstrips will be too short to host intercontinental flights, and a new 1,799-meter airstrip must be built before Kangerlussuaq can be closed. The main candidates for a new intercontinental airport are presently Nuuk and Qaqortoq. Alongside Kangerlussuaq, the airports at Narsarsuaq and Kulusuk (if Tasiilaq is built) will also be closed.[3] Generally, a number of the airstrips have been built by the US military at locations deliberately away from major settlements, partly due to the Danish policy to downplay the presence of the US military in Greenland.
Airlines and destinations[edit]
Airlines | Destinations |
Air Greenland | Aasiaat, Copenhagen-Kastrup, Ilulissat, Maniitsoq, Narsarsuaq, Nerlerit Inaat, Nuuk, Sisimiut Summer only: Reykjavik-Domestic |
Access to several research camps on the Greenland ice sheet, including the Danish field camp North GRIP and the American Summit Camp, is handled through Kangerlussuaq via the 109th Airlift Wing of the New York Air National Guard.
The terminal is open for 24 hours during summer. Hotel Kangerlussuaq, with a 70-room capacity and a restaurant, is located within the terminal building of the airport, providing accommodation for transferring passengers. Other amenities include a night-club and a self-service bar during daytime. Several tourism outfitters share an office in the terminal, alongside the Tourist Office.
Incidents and accidents[edit]
In 1961, a DHC-3 Otter, operated by Greenlandair crashed at emergency landing in terrain near Kangerlussuaq, because of a fire onboard. One crew member was killed. There was 2 crew and 4 passengers onboard.[4]
In 1968, three US T-33 fighters crashed into a nearby mountain. All onboard (one per plane) survived by parachute.
In 1976, a US air force C-141A cargo plane crashes. Killing 23 of 27 passengers and crew on board.[5]

Easy Winter Exercise Tips to Help You Stay Fit
How many times have you and a girlfriend reneged on plans to work out together? Too many to count? So look closer to home for motivation. Yes, that guy on your couch could help you stick with your fitness goals, and your relationship will benefit too! Find out how. Plus, get 6 steamy exercises for you and your honey...
Have you signed up for a health club membership but failed to show up? So have millions of others.
So what's going to really get you into that gym? A workout partner!
"Research shows that when people have an exercise buddy, they're less likely to drop out of their workout program," says Nicole Nichols, certified fitness instructor and fitness coach for SparkPeople.com.
But finding a person who shares your interests and timetable is tough. It's probably not a girlfriend. Maybe your significant other?
Check out these benefits to working out with your man (and it's more than just a great body).
1. You'll become closer.
For a successful relationship, couples need "alone time, together time and interactive time," says Dean Graham, National Academy of Sports Medicine-certified personal trainer and developer of the WeFitFor2 partner fitness program.
Unfortunately, many couples don't spend quality interactive time together. They're too busy doing their own thing and, when they spend time together, it's often passive, such as watching a movie together.
But exercise is.
"Partner workouts require you to pay attention to each other," says Cain Carroll, yoga guru and co-author of
Partner Yoga
(Rodale). "It's a wholesome way to relate to another person."
It also expands your relationship's horizons.
"With so many different kinds of exercises, it gives the couple a way to learn and grow together," says Kelli Calabrese, ACE-certified personal trainer and exercise specialist.
2. You'll improve your workout.
Exercise with your mate and you have better chances of making fitness stick. Why?
For starters, you're more likely to make that gym date when your partner is waiting for you. You'll also give it your best effort because he's watching.
"During solitary workouts, people may rest more, move slower, quit early, skip exercises or not go at all," Calabrese says.
3. You'll be sharing a goal.
Pat yourself on the back: You're spending hours in the gym to get in shape. But there's a problem: You're losing out on face time with your guy.
Which is a recipe for resentment. He'll feel bitter because you're not spending time with him, and you'll be upset that he's not taking care of his health.
So enlist him in your get-fit program. Sharing goals will bring you closer – physically and emotionally.
4. You'll boost your sex life.
This is a no-brainer. Making love is physical, and getting in shape can improve performance in the bedroom.
"All that exercise is good for your libido," Nichols says. "Studies show that men and women who exercise report better and more frequent sex with their partners."
Especially if you're working out with your honey. Interacting physically at the gym increases intimacy. Breathing, sweating, touching – this sort of physical contact can't help but translate into bedroom benefits.
Partner Workouts: Challenges and Solutions
How do you work out together when you have different fitness styles?
"You don't have to be at the same fitness level or have the same goals to be a workout buddy to your significant other," Nichols says. "Simply going to the gym together – even if one of you takes a class and the other hits a treadmill – will still give you the benefits of accountability, motivation, time spent together and better fitness."
And if he likes to hit the weights and you prefer spinning classes?
"Sometimes all that's needed is support and encouragement, even if your significant other isn't right beside you every step of the way," Nichols says.
So head to the gym together and then go your separate ways.
"Partners don't only have to do 'partner exercises,'" Calabrese says. They can work out next to one another. And there's still couple-time in the car on the way back and forth.
But not every workout has to involve a trip to the gym. Make it part of your lifestyle.
"Walk after dinner or bowl instead of seeing a movie," Nichols suggests. "These are active pursuits that you can enjoy together."
Another option: Find an activity – tennis or hiking – to do together and do other exercises on your own.
Even one partner workout a week can bring you closer.
"If your workouts are part of a regular schedule, it's a good reminder to connect with each other," Carroll says.
The Ultimate Partner Workout
Ready to get started on that physical connection? Try these 6 exercises from Graham's WeFitFor2 fitness program. No gym's required. The only fitness tools are your bodies!
Exercise #1: Single Leg Lunge
Graham's tips:
"Draw in your abs and go as low as you can, keeping the movement controlled. Use your partner to help you down or up, as needed."
Step 1:
Face your partner and grasp hands. Your arms should be crossed at the wrists; your partner's arms should not be crossed.
Step 2:
Standing on one leg with the other bent behind you, slowly descend into a one-legged lunge position. Go as low as you can, keeping your bent leg off the floor. Use your partner's counterweight to help you lower yourself down, if needed.
Step 3:
Return to standing, using your partner's help if needed. Repeat 10 times with each leg.
Exercise #2: Leg Adduction with Manual Resistance
Graham's tips:
"Keep your back flat to the ground and only work to the limit of your flexibility. Give your partner feedback as to the amount of resistance you want."
Step 1:
Lying flat on your back with arms out to the sides to steady yourself, lift your legs straight up to the ceiling, as shown. Your partner should grasp your inner lower leg, just above the ankles.
Step 2:
Without help from your partner, allow your legs to split apart, as shown.
Step 3:
With your partner supplying the resistance, squeeze your legs back together and return to starting position. Repeat 10 times.
Exercise #3: Decline Sit Up
Graham's tips:
"The decline gives you extra range of motion you can't get by doing this on the floor. Squeeze with your thighs to keep the upward motion steady and strong. If you want, add a twist at the halfway point to target your obliques."
Step 1:
With your partner kneeling on the ground, sit on his lap and wrap your legs tightly around his waist, crossing at the ankles to steady yourself.
Step 2:
Keeping your abs tight, lower yourself back down until your lower back is resting fully on his upper thighs and your head is on the ground. Arms should be out to the side. This is the decline position.
Step 3:
From the decline position, tighten your abs and perform a sit up. For an extra challenge, twist your torso first left, then right, at the halfway point to target your oblique (side) muscles. Repeat 10 times.
Exercise #4: Weighted Sit Up
Graham's tips:
"It's important to keep weight on your partner's feet so he has leverage. Fuse your arms to your torso so your whole structure comes up together."
Step 1:
Lie flat on the ground with knees bent in a sit up position.
Step 2:
Have your partner stand gently on your feet, grasp your hands and lean over you in a plank position, keeping his or her arms locked at the elbows.
Step 3:
Using your partner's weight, perform a sit up. Keep your arms strong, elbows tucked into your sides.
Step 4:
Lower yourself back down to the starting position. Repeat 10 times.
Exercise #5: Mirror Push up
Graham's tips:
"Keep your abs tight and take advantage of the extra range of movement you can't get on the floor. If it's too difficult, have your partner straighten his arms to give you more incline, making it easier. Give your partner a kiss every time you go low, for extra motivation."
Step 1:
With your partner lying flat on the ground, grasp hands and lean over him in a plank position. Your feet should be placed just outside his ankles and your arms should be strong with elbows locked, as shown.
Step 2:
From this inclined plank position, lower yourself down to a starting push up position. Keep your arms tight to your sides.
Step 3:
From here, push up and return to the starting position. Repeat 10 times.
Exercise #6: Weighted Push up
Graham's tips:
Your partner can give you a lot of body weight or a little simply by adjusting how much she leans on you. To avoid arching your back, tighten your abs and keep your core strong."
Step 1:
Get into a plank push up position and have your partner stand over you with her legs just outside your ankles.
Step 2:
Have your partner lean over you in a plank position (all her weight) or a bent-over position (less weight), placing her hands on your inner shoulders, as shown.
Step 3:
From this position, lower yourself down and then back up, as shown, performing a push up. Repeat 10 times.

- Application Details
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Altegra Health.
Interview DetailsI applied through dice and got called in 2 days of my application by a recruiter. There was an initial telephone screening which was mainly resume discussion and some basic questions on my resume. Then I was invited onsite and had a series of 4 interviews (all technical), pretty easy and common questions that you would find on the internet if you google for .Net interview questions or such. I got a call back with the offer on the next business day.
Negotiation DetailsNo negotiationAccepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
