The Challenge of Parenting
Rev. Nathan Mains
Parenting is very challenging. Yet it is something we get very little training for. Every parent does have experience with parenting; it's just from the other side, as kids. Our own experience of being parented strongly influences how we choose to parent, whether we know and admit it or not. We parents will tend to overreact to whatever our parents did that we feel was too much or not enough. And then our kids will probably overreact to our over reactions.
Parenting involves so many questions and decisions: When should bedtime be? At what age should they get their own phone? Should I "police" their social media involvement? Should I involve myself in their relational challenges, or let them learn to work things out on their own? What priority should I place on homework, sports, their job, our family, church, going to (the right) college, their future career?...
And there are so many opinions floating around about how we parents should respond to those questions and decisions. And with the Internet, those opinions are so easy to find. It can feel overwhelming. And we all want to be "good" parents, right?
After years of teaching the Bible, I find myself increasingly convinced that God's ways are simpler, and more freeing and possible, than we tend to think they are. Regarding the challenge of parenting, I believe the simple parenting wisdom God wants each parent to embrace goes something like this (Imagine God giving you this talk when you take that little one home from the hospital, and again each time you feel overwhelmed with the task of parenting):
First, I (God) want to invite you (parents) to be my (God's) partners in the maturing of these children. I want you to know that, as My partners, you will have My help and that you, and they (your kids), will never be alone!
Second, I'm asking for your help. Your children will need your help to mature. Throughout their time with you, in many different ways, they will be seeking from you, and from our partnership, the answer to two questions. Creating an environment in your home where these two questions are answered in alignment with My (God's) Truth is the central thing your kids need from you.
The two questions your kids will be asking are:
Am I loved? – Seek to have the environment of your home and your kids' experience with you, and with God, give them a consistent "Yes" answer to this question. You don't have to be perfect, but they should get strongly confirmed over time that they are deeply and unconditionally loved by you and by God.
Can I get my own way? – Your kids' maturity will only happen as they come to know the truth (Reality) that God, not they, is the center of the universe. In gentle, but firm ways, with God's help, your kids need you to give them a consistent "No" answer to this question whenever you sense they're putting themselves on the throne of their universe. This, more than anything else you could do, will give your kids the opportunity to mature, and to escape the bankruptcy of living a self-obsessed life.

Packaged goods companies ratchet display ad spending by 57 percent in two years.
Even as their overall ad spend has atrophied, consumer packaged goods companies have boosted their investment in online display advertising by 57 percent in the last two years, according to Nielsen.
The researcher reported yesterday CPG firms have cranked up image-based online ad spending from $99.8 million in Q1 2007 to $156.2 million during the same period this year.
Perhaps more surprising is that Nielsen found these brands spent very heavily with one of the Web's most reputedly brand-dangerous sites: YouTube. The company measured 638 million display ad impressions on the video site, which captured a 24 percent share of all advertising in the entertainment category. AOL.com and Oprah.com trailed with 323 million and 203 million ad impressions, respectively.
The YouTube gains suggest advertisers have become less wary of the site, which they long avoided for fear of associating their brands with potentially offensive content.
"YouTube, as one of the most visible examples of online video, is working hard to monetize their inventory across a number of verticals and Consumer Goods may hold particular promise in that effort," said David Wiesenfeld, VP online marketing solutions, in a statement.
In real numbers, the spending rises are relatively small when compared to CPG spending on other channels. For example, TNS estimates that in Q1 a single CPG advertiser, Procter & Gamble, spent $674 million in all U.S. media, down significantly from the year-ago period owing to cuts in old media. Even so, the figure is more than triple Nielsen's estimate for all packaged goods spending on online display advertising during the same period.
Nielsen's estimates do not take into account many types of online ad spending, such as search and social network integration. Increasingly, packaged goods giants are investing in custom video and other interactive experiences that aren't measured by ad tracking systems such as those offered by TNS and Nielsen.
Some of these are surreal. In one such project, P&G created a video-centric experience for Tampax, in which a 16-year-old boy named Zack wakes up to find his "guy parts" replaced with "girl parts." Hosted at Zack16.com, the experience uses videos, tweets, and other page elements to engage young girls with the Zack's story and with the Tampax brand.

Quiz: Remember the definition of mal de mer?

Group working to make Washington County first 'Yellow Ribbon' county
Everyone wants to know how the soldier is doing. No one asks how the soldier's family is doing.
That is the message that military personnel took to a group gathered at Oak-Land Junior High School in Lake Elmo Monday night. The listeners were there to form coalitions and support systems to keep families of soldiers deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan from feeling alone, isolated and bereft in a sea of child care, household chores and daily demands.

You Are Not Welcome Here.
|From producer Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings Trilogy) and director Neill Blomkamp comes a startlingly original sciencefiction thriller that "soars on the imagination of its creators" (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone). With stunning special effects and gritty realism, the film plunges us into a world where the aliens have landed... only to be exiled to a slum on the fringes of Johannesburg. Now, one lone human discovers the mysterious secret of the extraterrestrial weapon technology. Hunted and hounded through the bizarre back alleys of an alien shantytown, he will discover what it means to be the ultimate outsider on your own planet.
"Madly original, cheekily political, altogether exciting District 9. Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
"...one of the best of the summer, and undoubtedly the most inventive from the multiplex this year. Matthew Sorrento, Film Threat
Editor's NoteDirector Neill Blomkamp teams with producer Peter Jackson for this tale of extraterrestrial refugees stuck in contemporary South Africa. It's been 28 years since the aliens made first contact, but there was never any attack from the skies, nor any profound technological revelation capable of advancing our society. Instead, the aliens were treated as refugees. They were the last of their kind, and in order to accommodate them, the government of South Africa set up a makeshift home in District 9 as politicians and world leaders debated how to handle the situation. As the humans begin to grow wary of the unwelcome intruders, a private company called Multi-National United (MNU) is assigned the task of controlling the aliens. But MNU is less interested in the aliens' welfare than attempting to understand how their weaponry works. Should they manage to make that breakthrough, they will receive tremendous profits to fund their research. Unfortunately, the highly advanced weaponry requires alien DNA in order to be activated. When MNU field operative Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley) is exposed to biotechnology that causes his DNA to mutate, the tensions between the aliens and the humans intensifies. Wikus is the key to unlocking the alien's technology, and he quickly becomes the most wanted man on the planet. Ostracized and isolated, Wikus retreats to District 9 in a desperate bid to shake his dogged pursuers.

There's Something in the Water
By Natalie Strom email@example.com Marco Island's waters and beaches have seen a recent invasion by a number of algae species. Some bad, the others just fine. Sightings and monitored reports by FWC have found red drift alga, graceful red weed, Alexandrium monilatum and red tide to be present along Marco's coastline as well as within Marco's canals. Nancy Richie, Marco Island's Environmental Specialist, along with her award-winning crew of volunteer beach stewards, have noted that both red drift and graceful redweed have washed up on Marco's beaches. Richie noted that often storms or passing fronts from the Gulf can wash ... Read More »
Continuation of Mamie Street Public Hearing
By Patricia Huff In a previous article, I stated that on Thursday, October 10, Commissioner Tim Nance along with County Attorney Jeff Klatzkow and the attorney for the Smallwood Store met with Chokoloskee neighbors and the public to discuss Collier County "vacating" a portion of Mamie Street, thereby making it a private road for Florida-Georgia Grove LLP. This issue to vacate came about because Florida-Georgia Grove wants control of the public road passing through its property (which they had bulldozed in April 2011, denying access to the historic Smallwood Store and Museum and a private property owner, both of whom ...

'Santa Paws' Leads Canine Christmas Parade
By Noelle H. Lowery firstname.lastname@example.com The dog biscuits flowed like wine at the 2013 Christmas Island Style Canine Christmas Parade. Some 75 pampered pooches pranced about dressed to the nines at CJ's on the Bay in The Esplanade, all vying for the top spot in the parade.

Nominate a family in need
Imagine, a family facing financial struggles on a daily basis. Holidays magnify these difficulties. They may endure financial hardship or debilitating health issues. Now imagine this needy family, heading through the gates of Walt Disney World to enjoy the holiday magic because they have received an all-expenses paid vacation from the Law offices of William G. Morris. This holiday, one family will enjoy holiday cheer because key staff at the law firm chose this idea as a way to celebrate the firm's 30th Anniversary. According to Attorney William G. Morris, "This area has been good to us for 30 years. ... Read More »
Christmas on Marco – Island Style
The first sign of Christmas on Marco is when Santa and Mrs. Claus arrived via fire truck with two elves to the Shops of Marco. Children couldn't wait to greet them and to tell Santa about their Wish Lists and to say just how good they've behaved throughout the year. The annual Boat Parade drew thousands of onlookers to the water's edge from the starting point at Snook Inn to the Esplanade where the People's Choice award is decided. Boaters decorated their vessels with an array of Christmas décor and they delighted in the "oohs and aahs" of the onlookers ... Read More »
City Manager search consultant resigns
By Noelle H. Lowery Marco Island's search for a new city manager has been fraught with drama.

The Rising Cost of Long-Term Care
"You don't stop laughing when you grow old; you grow old when you stop laughing." — George Bernard Shaw, 1856-1950 Question: What is the difference between Medicare and Long Term Care (LTC) Coverage? Answer: Mistakenly, many people believe that Medicare, the federal health insurance program for older Americans, will pay for all LTC needs. The truth is that Medicare does not cover custodial care, which is usually the kind of care older Americans need. Medicare only provides limited coverage for skilled nursing care or physical therapy. The most common and preferred type of LTC is provided in the home ... Read More »

For this year's column on gifts for the traveler, I decided to explore some of what the Island ... Read More »
Caring for Holiday Plants after the Holidays
The poinsettia (Euphorbia pilcherrima) is probably the best known holiday plant. In the past years they have hybridized this plant into many different colors, but I still believe red is the most popular. I have been asked hundreds of times how to care for them after the holidays so they will bloom next year. The price of poinsettias are so reasonable that most end up in the garbage after the holidays and new ones are bought next year. But if you're like me, as I hate to see any plant being thrown away, here's what you have to do to ... Read More »

Comet ISON Survived?
SOUTHERN SKIES By Mike P. Usher email@example.com At the time of this writing, the ultimate fate of Comet ISON was still in doubt. On Thanksgiving day the comet reaches its closest point to the Sun, (called perihelion by astronomers) and is less than one million miles from the solar surface. At that distance the heat is enough to melt solid iron! On the other hand, the comet is a big chunk of loosely packed ice and dust which is a pretty good insulator; it may well pull through. The odds are around 50-50. Until recently the comet was fizzling out, ... Read More »
Mamie Street Controversy
By Patricia Huff For the past two years, visitors to the Historic Smallwood Store and Museum have had to drive through the unsightly property owned by Florida-Georgia Grove LLC (FGG) on Mamie Street in Chokoloskee. In August of 2012, Collier County Code Enforcement Office sent a notice of violation to FGG to clean up its property. For the past four months, the county has been going through the same process as it did just one year ago. Code Enforcement has sent an inspector out to the site on six different occasions to see if the violation is still outstanding, and ... Read More »

F1 seat wars

Perhaps, the revelation of preseason Formula 1 testing has been the Sauber F1 Team. After a disastrous 2014, in which the Hinwil, Switzerland based squad scored zero championship points, new drivers Marcus Ericsson and Felipe Nasr have shown encouraging pace ahead of next weekend's season opening Australian Grand Prix. Of course, it's never exactly easy in the cutthroat world of Grand Prix racing. And for Sauber, before their drivers, or shall we say if their drivers, take to the track in Albert Park, they first have to visit a Melbourne court room to address their unresolved dispute driver Giedo van der Garde.

Thanks guys.
Actually Hitmontop sounds pretty decent over Starmie although Starmie does help alot in dealing with SD Acrobat Gliscor who otherwise goes unchecked. :s
As for Hippow, i could use it but i dislike Excadrill and Gliscor really helps in that regard and the fact that nothing on my team can take EQ's especially from Landorus otherwise lol.
Id really like to put in Lati or Tangrowth also though but i cant really see where i can put them.
So yeah im stuckkkk as ill lose something if i replace something (if that made sense) lol

Does Bush Appointee Lois Lerner Have A Political Agenda?
Sarah Jones at PolticusUSA makes the case that Republican blocking of Obama appointees keeps Bush appointees in place and that is what can be wrecking havoc.
Lois Lerner, "who let slip at an American Bar Association meeting on Friday that, between 2010 and 2012, conservative nonprofit groups were improperly scrutinized by the IRS", is the person who drew attention to this "scandal". She is also the IRS Director of Exempt Organizations.
Lerner gave an opening statement before yet another House Committee Wednesday morning, in a hearing on the allegations that the IRS targeted conservative groups for political reasons. Ms. Lerner said, before pleading the fifth, "I have not done anything wrong. I have not broken any laws. I have not violated any IRS rules or regulations, and I have not provided false information to this or any other congressional committee," Lerner said. "Because I am asserting my right not to testify, I know that some people will assume that I have done something wrong. I have not."
…Republicans are trying to insinuate that Lerner covered up for the Obama administration and that's why she's pleading the fifth. They can't possibly know why she is pleading the fifth; the most logical reason is that given the DOJ opening a criminal investigation into the matter, her attorney advised her to shut it.
But if she has any political persuasion, it would seem to be Republican, based on her appointment by the Bush administration (infamous for politicizing government)…
What I've taken from all of these scandals so far is that by Republicans refusing to allow Obama his own nominees, they've saddled him with their appointees, who may or may not have an agenda and may or may not be utterly incompetent. That's a nifty game.

Male Promiscuity Boosts Role of Chance in Sex Chromosome Evolution
Thu, 19 Mar 2015 15:02:31 +0000
Humans, like all mammals and birds, determine sex with chromosomes. Whether a fertilised egg develops into a male or female depends on what chromosomes it carries Scientists have long recognised that genes evolve a little differently on the sex chromosomes, and recent research in GEE suggests this may be due to differing patterns of inheritance […]

Sloths, as we know and love them, are small, slow-moving creatures found in the trees of tropical rainforests. But modern sloths are pretty odd compared to their extinct relatives. […]

A short history of the Department
The department was formed during the recent reorganisation of the Faculty of Life Sciences that brought together scientists with shared interests in genetics, environmental and evolutionary biology who had previously been scattered among a variety of distinct departments. It traces its origins to the now extinct Department of Comparative Anatomy, founded in 1826, and the first in Britain to offer a Zoology degree. It also incorporates the Galton Laboratory, the first institution in the world to study human genetics as a science and previously named Departments of Biology, Botany, Genetics & Biometry, Microbiology and Zoology.
Some great figures of the past have been associated with the Department - whose own building stands on the site of Charles Darwin's home. They include Robert Grant (who taught Darwin in Edinburgh and whose extraordinary collection of animal specimens we still possess), Sir Francis Galton (Darwin's cousin, and the founder of the modern study of human genetics and - less creditably - of eugenics, whose legacy helped establish the Galton Laboratory). Its early members included Karl Pearson and R A Fisher (jointly the founders of modern statistical science), J B S Haldane (the eccentric genius who worked on submarine escape methods and helped to place the theory of evolution on a mathematical basis), and F R Weldon, who carried out the earliest experimental studies on natural selection in action. Later, the Nobel Prize winner, Sir Peter Medawar, who worked out the genetics of tissue recognition and was central to the development of organ transplantation.
Other eminent members include the embryologist Sir Gavin de Beer who helped found what became today's evolutionary developmental biology or "evo-devo", Alex Comfort, a pioneer in the study of the biology of ageing (albeit perhaps better known for his book The Joy of Sex), Hans Gruneberg the first to use mutations in mice to understand the basis of human developmental abnormalities, Harry Harris who revealed the massive extent of human genetic diversity, Kenneth Kermack, the discoverer of one of the earliest pre-mammalian fossils and the marine biologist Sir Ray Lankester, who became Director of the Natural History Museum. Lionel Penrose was one of the first to work on the genetics of mental retardation. Sir Edward Salisbury was a pioneer in plant ecology and became Director of Kew Gardens. Francis Wall Oliver established the first ecological research centre in the UK at Blakeney Point, Norfolk, which is still being used by our students today and D M S Watson played an important part in early work on plant and lizard fossils.
More recently, several luminaries have contributed fundamental insights to evolutionary biology, John Maynard Smith pioneered the use of game theory in understanding the evolution of selfish, selfless and spiteful behaviour in animals, W D Hamilton set out his ideas about inclusive fitness and the evolution of altruism, George Price developed his interpretation of Fisher's fundamental theory of natural selection now known as the Price equation. Anne McLaren was a leading figure in reproductive biology who helped establish the principles that led to in vitro fertilisation and Avrion Mitchison was instrumental in disentangling the complexities of the human immune system. Robert Race and Ruth Sanger made the first maps of the distribution of the human blood groups and elucidated the genetics and biochemistry of the Rhesus groups and others, while Cedric Smith invented some of the mathematical methods used to map human genes.
We have, then, a noble past – and, we like to think, the future looks pretty bright as well.

Tagert sees no road ahead for I-69
Northern District Transportation Commissioner Mike Tagert brought good news and bad news on his first official visit to Tunica County since he took office just over two months ago.
The good news is that the route for the new north-south corridor linking Canada, the U.S. and Mexico has been set and I-69 environmental impact studies are complete, Tagert said Monday.
"The bad news? There is no funding source today."
Delta Council executive vice president Chip Morgan concurred.

Panel-ready washer and dryer
Hello! Cross posting this on the appliance forum as well. I need a (preferably) stackable washer and dryer in the mud room, and would love to be able to integrate them with surrounding cabinetry. Besides the Asko panel ready model, are there any other models out there? If not, does anyone own the Asko model? Any feedback on performance and price would be greatly appreciated as I only found one review on AJ Madison that was 1 star.
My other option would be to recess the wall a few inches and install them into a cabinet but I don't know how functional it would be to keep opening the cabinet door in a mudroom, especially if I need to air out the insides.
There have been Asko owners here in the past with older machines and they loved them. The few newer reports have not been as positive and service and parts may be an issue. Small capacity has also been an issue, as I recall.
I think the new FL machines are nice looking, certainly good enough for a mudroom. (Mine are stacked in my small kitchen). Get a set in a color that coordinates with your decor and admire them as you walk by :)
Be careful that you have enough clearance to open machine doors if you recess the machines. My machines open all the way flat against the cabinetry next to it. If I recessed my machines I would not be able to do this.
This picture shows my set with the washer door all the way open against the neighboring cabinet. The dryer can not open all the way because of my door frame. It works though.
I too love the look of the washing machines, regardless what vintage.
Miele has a cabinet panel option for their machines. The way that looks in a modern space can be seen in the link below.
There's a lovely laundry room also, with a stacked w/d pair in a closet that has good access.
Here is a link that might be useful: Paneled washer/dryer

Courtesy of Comedy Central(LOS ANGELES) — You've heard all about it, but now you can finally see it: Comedy Central's Roast of Justin Bieber airs Monday night at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
The show features celebs like Snoop Dogg, Martha Stewart and Shaquille O'Neal ripping into the Bieb about everything from his sexuality, to his arrests, to his relationship with Selena Gomez. And according to the participants, coming up with insults about the singer was almost too easy.
Talking about how he prepared to host Monday night's roast, Kevin Hart told reporters on the red carpet, "I basically went through my mental Rolodex of all the dumb s**t that Justin has done and I said, 'You know what? Why choose a couple? Just talk about it all!'"
Asked to name his favorite dumb thing that Justin's done, Hart laughed, "My favorite? He bought a monkey! It doesn't get better than that. The white kid bought a monkey. Is that not a big deal to everybody? I don't understand how that is not the topic of conversation overall!"
But in addition to having to rely on their mental Rolodexes, one of the roasters, comedian Natasha Leggero, tells ABC Radio that Comedy Central helped everyone come up with jokes by giving them tons of research about Justin's missteps.
"You download the twenty-five page document that Comedy Central sends you of all of his arrests and DUIs and insane incidents," Leggero explains. "And after five years of being on Chelsea Lately, where every week there's a new thing, like, everything made the news! It's like, 'Someone throws a water bottle at Justin Bieber's head!' So yeah, so it's kind of easy because there's so much there."
Making fun of Bieber is one thing, but his closest family member also came under fire -- at the taping, there were references to his mom and abortion. On the red carpet beforehand, Justin's mom, Pattie Mallette, told ABC Radio, "I kinda braced myself for the worst imaginable possible things and feelings and I'm just here as a supportive mom."
Asked which celebrity roaster she thought would be the meanest to her little boy, she said, "Martha Stewart. I'm a little worried about Martha Stewart, I'm not gonna lie. I think Martha Stewart's got a little bit more up her sleeve than you might imagine."
As for Stewart, she told reporters that she agreed to do the roast "in a moment of weakness" and added that she had "many, many reservations" about it. Among them: the fact that you'll see her saying "some raunchy stuff."
"Please, please everyone who knows me…I didn't write this stuff!" says the domestic diva.
One thing that happened during the taping that you won't see Monday night are the tasteless jokes about the late Fast and Furious star Paul Walker -- they've been edited out. After the taping, Justin told reporters that he "didn't particularly like" the jokes about Walker. He also told reporters, "I turned a lot of people off over the past few years, but I know I can still turn out good music and turn everything around."
Other celebrity roasters tonight include Pete Davidson, Ludacris, Hannibal Buress, Chris D'Elia and Jeffrey Ross.
