School Organization Hacks for ADHD Kids
3 simple strategies for easing the transition back to school for your ADHD child.
Welcome to the 2014-2015 school year! Once again, our children are modeling new sneakers and getting excited to see their friends again. And we are happy for the structure and routine that comes with the Fall. What we're less excited about: the anxiety that plagues many families as they re-orient kids and accommodations to a new teacher. The teacher doesn't yet know your child, his ADHD, or...

The First Day of Sixth Grade — ADHD Style
The story of one boy's journey from academic frustration to empowerment, thanks in large part to one teacher's unwillingness to accept the easy answer.
Crash! Bang! Ahhh! So goes the first day of school for many ADHD families. Long after the alarm's gone off, your child is still in his bedroom. Doing what? Who knows. "C'mon and eat your breakfast. The bus will be here any minute." You walk into the bedroom and stare. Complete bedlam. Let the battle begin... Let me tell you about a boy I know named Nicky. By...

Stay in Touch with Teachers — and Keep Ahead of Trouble
Talking with your ADHD child's teachers can mean the difference between failing and passing with flying colors.
Back-to-school displays in stores, ads in newspapers and on TV, and my children's eagerness to get brand-new school supplies are all reminders that another school year is on its way. My mind has started making the transition and preparations for my ADHDers to head back to school. It seems like only yesterday that I walked my daughter up to meet her fourth-grade teacher on the first day...

4 Ways to Bring Books to Life
Expert strategies for making summer reading fun, and for building retention, comprehension, and creative muscles with every chapter.
Book is practically a four-letter word for most kids during summer vacation. Yet, as a parent, you know that your child needs to maintain the important abstract skills that come with reading a story, comprehending it, predicting what's next, and connecting with the characters. So, how do you encourage your child to read at a time when schoolwork feels like a distant and bad memory? Here are...

Last week Christina Aguilera appeared on the cover of People Magazine with her new bundle of joy, Max. This week there are reports that she pimped her kid out for a whopping $2 million dollars for the shots. I would pimp my kid out too if someone was paying me $2 million dollars!
Christina was having some trouble selling her pics at first because she was asking for too much. I think she did fine with $2 million. On a regular basis I would say that $2 million is gonna cover the kid's college education for 4 years, but we all know the kids probably not gonna go to college. I'm hoping he does, but none of those kids really do.
As far as getting paid goes, Angie and Brad are still numero uno. They got paid $4.1 million dollars for pics of Shiloh. They also donated that money to charity, so it's ok if their kids don't go to college. I kid! I kid!

A new report from an international economic development group says local and state governments will need to reform their pension systems as people live longer.
The City of Omaha recently honored the Empowerment Network, the Deer Park Neighborhood Association and neighborhood advocate Jeannie Dickes with Community Excellence Awards.
Mayor Suttle says the awards recognize the hard work these recipients have done in helping to improve the quality of life in Omaha's older neighborhoods. He says over the past several years, the number of neighborhood associations and the projects they are taking on has grown substantially.

Salazon Chocolate Co.
Sea Salt & Organic Turbinado Cane Sugar
This organic dark chocolate tasted a little sour to me, with occasional strong bursts of salt. A non-vegan friend couldn't tell there was no dairy in it but wasn't thrilled with the flavor, noting a bit of aftertaste; another called it her favorite, with a slight salt flavor and "very smooth" texture. A third thought the "salty/sweet combo" made for a "great flavor." Salazon is on the Food Empowerment Project's good list.
Chocolate Mexicano
These stone ground discs are organic and direct trade. Parent company Taza has the Food Empowerment Project's okay.
I popped a segment into my mouth and thought immediately of cinnamon chewing gum, and I love cinnamon chewing gum. I liked the delicate crunch, which may come from the ground cinnamon; hubby called it gritty, but didn't seem to mind. He thought it was delicious and creamy and thought the cinnamon, while subtle, made the whole thing "delightful." He could not stop eating it. A friend gave a one-word review: "Yuck!"
A crumbly texture with tiny granules of crunchy crystallized ginger. The flavor is rich and not too sweet.
Fine & Raw Chocolate
Bonbon Bar
I liked the soft texture and strong flavor, which tasted like cocoa powder smells. I never would have guessed it was raw. Hubby, who prefers bittersweet to milk chocolate, at first thought it could use more sugar, though he liked the creamy texture. He kept reaching for it, though, and soon said, "It's growing on me." A friend found it delicious with a "really rich truffley filling."
ChocAlive! Truffles
These gluten-free treats are raw, but you wouldn't know it.
Coated with shaved almonds, this is a fudgy one-biter. Hubby's verdict: "Nice." He found it creamy with a tart or bitter flavor. Both of us sensed and disliked a wine flavor, but couldn't figure out where it came from — there isn't any alcohol in the ingredient list.
Dark Chocolate Crunch
This flavor excited hubby more than the almond. He liked the crunchy nib coating. I liked the richness and creamy mouth feel, but again with the wine flavor.
Raaka Virgin Chocolate
Vanilla Rooibos
This bar tasted like tea to me, which is to be expected — rooibos is the plant whose leaves are brewed to make red tea. A friend with a more sophisticated palate than mine found it sweet with "cherry notes." Hubby also tasted cherry but thought there was too much of it. The Food Empowerment Project okays Raaka.
Mast Brothers
Limited Reserve Vanilla & Smoke
Hubby said this bar was hard and a little crumbly, with a sweet, tangy flavor. His verdict: "Okay, not great." I would have upgraded "okay" to "good" until the sour aftertaste hit. A friend noted that it was "slightly bitter," and, for good measure, added, "Not sweet." Another person was more receptive, saying the flavor was interesting, but didn't include vanilla. The Brothers get a seal of approval from the Food Empowerment Project.
Sweet Chocolate Dream
Creamy Sweet Chocolate Bar
A milk chocolate junkie in my previous, vegetarian life, I can't get enough of this stuff. After all the high cacao content, more or less bittersweet bars, I welcomed the blast of, as advertised, creamy sweet. No one else reviewed this one because I hoarded it for myself.

Thank you
love chocolate.
Now I know what to bribe vegans with to make them stop ranting about their diet. Lol! The rescue chocolate is a good idea.
Oh, I love dark chocolate and ginger!

Last week, T-Pain replaced comedian Katt Williams as the host of the BET Hip-Hop Awards. During the show, Pain performed various comedic stand-up segments, most of which revolved around his uncanny ability to make hit records. While Teddy seemed to use his last minute fill-job as a great promotional tool (Thr33 Ringz drops November 11), he didn't take the opportunity to air out all the artists who have played copycat with his musical style and the haters who've eagerly anticipated his downfall. Why? Well, because his new DJ Khaled-assisted record, Karaoke, takes care of things quite nicely. Aggressive, hostile, and full of bile on this new self-produced track, Pain changes up his flow (see Creep Fast) and looses the Auto-Tune (for the most part). Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, The Ringleader has spoken…

Franklin Covey Reports Solid Growth for Its Fiscal 2013 Second Quarter Diluted EPS Grows 33% Over Prior Year's Quarter Operating Income Increases 17% Sales and Adjusted EBITDA Each Increase 5% Company Reaffirms Its Fiscal 2013 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance of $30-$32 Million Business Wire SALT LAKE CITY -- April 4, 2013 Franklin Covey Co. (NYSE: FC), a global performance improvement company that creates and distributes world-class content, training, processes, and tools that organizations and individuals use to transform their results, today announced financial results for its fiscal second quarter ended March 2, 2013. Net sales for the quarter ended March 2, 2013 increased 5% to $40.4 million, compared with $38.6 million in the second quarter of the prior year. Sales in the balance of the Company's operations grew 16% in the quarter, but were partially offset by declines in the Government Services office and the Sales Performance Practice, and a primarily foreign exchange-related decline in revenues at its direct office in Japan. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter increased to $5.6 million, a 5% increase, compared with $5.3 million in fiscal 2012 and was impacted by the same factors described above. The Company's Adjusted EBITDA margin (Adjusted EBITDA as a percent of sales) remained strong, and was consistent with the prior fiscal year's second quarter at 13.8% of sales. Income from operations increased by $0.5 million to $3.3 million, a 17% increase compared with $2.8 million in the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. Net income improved by $0.4 million to $1.6 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared with $1.2 million, or $.06 per diluted share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Bob Whitman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Franklin Covey reported another quarter of solid growth in its financial and operating performance. We continue to invest in our new, key strategic initiatives and are expanding our marketing and sales teams on a global basis. Our momentum remains strong and our prospective business pipeline continues to build. We remain on track to report another year of solid growth in revenue, profitability, and cash flows from operations." Fiscal 2013 Second Quarter Financial Results The Company's consolidated sales increased to $40.4 million compared with $38.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Sales increased at nearly all of the Company's major channels, including its U.S./Canada regional sales offices, international licensee channel, national account practices, and from increased leasing revenues. Revenue in the Company's U.S./Canada regional sales offices (excluding the government services office) increased 17% compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Sales growth was generally broad-based across the Company's key Practice areas and the Company benefited from strong facilitator sales during the quarter. Sales through the Company's government services office decreased as some programs were postponed or canceled during the quarter due to changes in U.S. federal government spending required by sequestration. Sales in the Company's international direct offices decreased by 10% primarily due to the impact of translating sales in Japanese Yen to U.S. dollars. When denominated in Japanese Yen, sales in Japan only decreased 1% compared with the prior year. The decrease in Japan was partially offset by increased sales in the United Kingdom and essentially flat sales in Australia. Many of the Company's international licensee partners also recognized stronger sales during the quarter, resulting in a 9% overall increase in royalty revenues. The Company's national account practices reported a 5% increase in revenues, driven by increased Education Practice sales. Other revenues, which consist primarily of leasing and shipping and handling revenues, increased by 46%, primarily as a result of new leasing contracts at the Company's corporate headquarters facility. Gross profit increased to $27.3 million, an increase of 9% compared with $25.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The increase in gross profit was attributable to increased sales, as described above, and improved gross margin performance. The Company's gross margin for the quarter ended March 2, 2013 increased to 67.5 percent of sales compared with 64.7% in the prior year. The improvement in gross margin was primarily due to increased facilitator sales in the U.S./Canada direct offices during the quarter and increased international licensee royalty revenues. Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased $2.0 million compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2012, reflecting continued investments in hiring new sales-related personnel and marketing. The increase in SG&A expenses over the prior year was primarily due to 1) a $0.8 million increase in advertising and promotional costs that were primarily related to new strategic initiatives; 2) a $0.5 million increase in travel expenses related primarily to marketing and promotional activities, and increased training sales delivery during the quarter; 3) a $0.4 million increase in associate costs primarily related to the addition of new sales-related personnel and increased commissions on higher sales; and 4) a $0.4 million increase in legal expenses resulting primarily from a fiscal 2012 reimbursement of previously expensed legal costs for litigation that was settled in the prior year. These increases were partially offset by decreased expenses in various other areas of our operations. Depreciation expense declined compared with the prior year primarily due to the full depreciation of certain assets, which contributed to improved income from operations during the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Income from operations increased $0.5 million to $3.3 million, a 17% increase compared with $2.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. Net income improved by $0.4 million, or 37%, to $1.6 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared with $1.2 million, or $.06 per diluted share in fiscal 2012. The Company's balance sheet and liquidity position remained strong through the second quarter as the Company had $15.5 million in cash and cash equivalents at March 2, 2013 compared with $11.0 million at August 31, 2012. Net working capital increased to $32.5 million at March 2, 2013 compared with $27.5 million on August 31, 2012. The Company had no borrowings on its line of credit facility at March 2, 2013. During the quarter ended March 2, 2013, the breakeven price for management stock loans held in escrow was achieved. Accordingly, the Company transferred 3.3 million shares of common stock held by management loan participants in escrow to the Company's transfer agent as full payment on the loans. As of April 4, 2013, the Company had 16.3 million shares of common stock outstanding. Fiscal 2013 Second Quarter Financial Highlights *Sales increased 5% to $40.4 million, compared with $38.6 million in the prior year. *Sales grew at most of the Company's major channels, including all of its U.S./Canada regional sales offices, from its licensee partners, and through the national account practices channel. *Gross profit increased 9% to $27.3 million on increased sales and an improvement in the Company's gross margin percentage to 67.5% from 64.5% of sales in fiscal 2012. *Adjusted EBITDA increased 5% to $5.6 million compared with $5.3 million in the prior year. *Net income increased 37% to $1.6 million compared with $1.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. *EPS growth of 33%, to $0.08 per diluted share, from $0.06 per diluted share in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. *Cash and cash equivalents increased to $15.5 million at March 2, 2013 compared with $11.0 million at August 31, 2012. *The management common stock loans held in escrow were repaid with 3.3 million shares of common stock returned to the Company as payment on the loans. Fiscal 2013 Year-to-Date Financial Results Consolidated sales for the two quarters ended March 2, 2013 increased $6.3 million, or 8%, to $84.5 million compared with $78.2 million in fiscal 2012. For the two quarters ended March 2, 2013, sales increased at all of the Company's primary delivery channels compared to the prior year. Increased sales and improved gross margin performance led to a 10% increase in gross profit to $56.8 million compared with $51.5 million in fiscal 2012. Consolidated gross margin increased to 67.3 percent of sales compared with 65.9% in fiscal 2012, primarily due to increased facilitator sales in the United States and increased international licensee royalties. The Company's SG&A expenses increased $3.5 million primarily due to increased associate costs and marketing expenses for strategic initiatives. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $12.7 million, or 8%, compared with $11.7 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2012. Net income for the two quarters ended March 2, 2013 increased 59% to $4.5 million, or $.23 per diluted share, compared with $2.8 million, or $.16 per diluted share, on the strength of improved pretax income and a lower effective income tax rate. Cash flows from operating activities for the two quarters ended March 2, 2013 increased to $10.2 million compared with $9.2 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2012. Fiscal 2013 Outlook The Company reaffirms its previous guidance that Adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2013 is expected to range from $30 million to $32 million.

Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 including those statements related to the Company's future results and profitability; expected Adjusted EBITDA in fiscal 2013; anticipated future sales; and goals relating to the growth of the Company. Forward-looking statements are based upon management's current expectations and are subject to various risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to: general economic conditions; the expected number of booked days to be delivered; market acceptance of new products or services and marketing strategies; the ability to achieve sustainable growth in future periods; and other factors identified and discussed in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Many of these conditions are beyond the Company's control or influence, any one of which may cause future results to differ materially from the Company's current expectations, and there can be no assurance that the Company's actual future performance will meet management's expectations. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances subsequent to this press release. Non-GAAP Financial Information Refer to the attached table for the reconciliation of a non-GAAP financial measure, "Adjusted EBITDA," to consolidated net income, the most comparable GAAP financial measure. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss from operations excluding the impact of interest expense, income tax expense, amortization, depreciation, share-based compensation expense, and other non-recurring items. The Company references this non-GAAP financial measure in its decision making because it provides supplemental information that facilitates consistent internal comparisons to the historical operating performance of prior periods and the Company believes it provides investors with greater transparency to evaluate operational activities and financial results. We do not provide forward-looking GAAP measures or a reconciliation of the forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to GAAP measures because of our inability to project certain of the costs included in the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.

When he was four he got his dick sucked by a prostitute
from Action Bronson – Dennis Haskins Lyrics on Genius
Bronson often times in his raps references his 'son', which he does not actually have. Most of the time they're doing crazy shit involving drugs and sex. For instance, on the song "Blackbird", Bronson makes the claim
"Bitches kissing me the French way
Now suck my son's dick
He only four, when he twenty he gon' run shit
Suede suit, waves spinning 'cause he half black
But for now he need his blanky for his nap nap."

Hey. I was just wondering what you guys thought of having DT's next album be a live album? I think it would be cool to hear how Mike Mangini plays their older songs too. I say them play "The Glass Moon" on a short youtube clip the DT posted on their Facebook page and lived how he did the chorus.Comments

This is my favorite concealer at the moment, it does give amazing coverage but it dries way too fast. I really love this concealer, but i'm still on the hunt for a better one. Will be repurchasing till I find.

I have been looking for a good concealer to make my everyday go to concealer and I had been wanting to try this concealer for sometime so I finally did. When I first used it I loved it. Than I found that it didn't last very long at all. I would go through a couple hours of my day and I wouldn't see the concealer doing anything for me anymore. When you first apply it, it is great! But through out the day it fades and cracks a bit. I even set it with powder and had a primer under it. This concealer also made me break out when I used it on spots on my face. It is best to use it under eyes only. I liked this product but I wouldn't repurchase because I feel I can find a concealer that is much better.

I had really high expectations for this concealer and its reputation for having great coverage. I needed something with good coverage, so I got this.
I applied some on my scars. Barely looked like I applied anything, except for some cheap makeup that caked up. I tried layering it just to see if I got more coverage. Nope.
Others have said the formula is too dry to be an undereye concealer, but I tried it anyway and it was great! I'd repurchase only to use it as an undereye concealer.
As some have said, the applicator IS rough.

I'm gonna be honest here.
Let's talk about PACKAGING first. Okay, everyones gotta admit that the packaging sucked. It looked cheap. If Maybeline is gonna compete with other companies. They might as well start with their packaging for this one. It looked about...worth $2.
Second, let's talk about HOW LONG IT LASTED. Well, unfortunately, it didn't stay quite long. It lasted about a couple hours.
Third, QUALITY. It wasn't bad, yet it wasn't as good as I expected it to be. It sort of dried up my skin a bit, and I didn't like that. The product itself (Liquid part) was alright, but a bit cakey. The brush that was came and was used for that product wasn't very nice as well. It was a bid hard on the skin and I don't think that's very flattering to soft skin. It felt like rubbing a scrub to my face. Or maybe like as if my face was being scrubbed against the carpet. Compared to Maybeline's other concealer brushes, the other brushes were soft and nice to apply to my skin.
My skin is a bit dry, but has a hint of oiliness as well. Giving it a combination. Though it was sort of cakey, this would alright for those with super light skin. This didn't go well for me since I'm tan. I got the second to the darkest color, since I know that concealers tend to light up a bit, but even almost at the darkest color, it was still too light!
I gave the overall rating a 2 because it wasn't really good. The price was a bit of a rip off, which I think I got for about $7? I have no idea. I don't remember. Maybe $5.
However, the packaging sucked, the product: Cakey, didn't last 24 hours, and brush: sucked.
Sorry to say this, Maybeline.

I've spoke elsewhere here of transfer resistant products taking on the texture they are applied over. Transfer resistant foundation will make a dry flaky skin look more so. Acne ,marked, pitted skin will look more so. Great, young skin looks beautiful. Older, dry, lined skin, not so much. Non-transfer resistant foundations will refine a larger variety of skin flaws. Bad skin looks good. Descent skin looks great. Beautiful, perfect skin looks astonishingly glorious. Well I guess you get the idea (the point I'm trying to make.) THIS is a transfer resistant concealer , hence the name: Super Stay 24 Hour Concealer, but it does not have the tell tale signs of transfer resistant. This concealer is smooth. If you've dry under eyes I'd recommend using a richer than usual eye cream under it, but that's okay as once it sets it stays put all day. It's good at covering flaws such as redness around nose, pimples, etc. It's at it's best hiding under eye darkness if you've the proper color. This stuff "rocks" and even works well as an eyeshadow base (over the entire eyelid right on up to the brow.) It doesn't crease very easily and shadows/hi-lites/liner looks more true to it's original color. I love it. Sets a new standard in transfer resistant and affordability!

I'd seen a youtube guru who used this concealer almost faithfully and got good results. I'm pretty fair skinned and have always had dark under-eye circles (blame low blood pressure all my life!). So this concealer seemed to fill the bill - "cheap and cheerful", convenient packaging - perfect for tossing into my gym bag to use after working out and showering or at home...
Well, it's not very good, I'm sorry to have to say. I think I have the "medium" of the 3 shades. It looks chalky and pasty, and doesn't do a great job of covering my dark circles. It's difficult to build up coverage - it just gets chalkier and seems to settle into lines under my eyes. Wear isn't very good either - it seems to sort of melt and go a bit "scaly" as the day wears on - almost as if the product was sort of breaking down. It is cheap but it's still not a product I'd recommend to anyone.

I have this in 3 Medium Beige which is totally not my color!
I like the packaging it's really handy. I found the color too orange and i think that is a big problem with drugstore foundation/concealers, they are to orange for me.
It's easy to blend but it really dried out my skin! I have slightly oily skin around my nose and my skin there felt so dry after i use it around my nose. It's looks so cakey even though you apply a little.
This is definitely not my fav. concealer!
I will not recommend this for dry skin at all.

I brought this in the lightest color from walmart, it's a good prices but the concealer is HORRIBLE. I tried it when I got home later and it's an unnatural color.

Works really well .. even in extreme Georgia humidity! I recently had skin cancer surgery and have a scar line on my nose and this works great to conceal the redness. It does last all day even with 90% humidity here in Atlanta. One thing that I was so impressed with that the Ivory shade is actually Ivory and not yellow or peach. Too many makeup lines leave us porcelain girls out of their shade range and this is perfect for me. I have the hardest time finding light enough concealers.

I really wish I had checked the reviews on the product before purchasing. I actually like the consistency and coverage of this concealer. Although I have oily skin it seems to really last in coverage whereas a lot of other products slick right off. I think a little goes a long way with this and the brush used for application tends to over do it. But the big issue with this concealer for me is that it has caused my entire face (anywhere I've applied it) to break out horribly. I unfortunately won't be able to use this anymore.

Naming Rights Deal Okayed to End Live Meet Racing at Expo Square
Tulsa County leaders today okay a deal that will change the name of the largest building on Expo Square and officially end live racing at Fair Meadows.The naming rights agreement with the Muscogee Creek Nation will put the tribe's name on what had been known as the Quik Trip Center. Fairgrounds CEO Mark Andrus says the deal also ends live race meets, which were money losers in recent years.
Beginning in January, the tribe will pay the fairgrounds almost one and a half million dollars a year through 2019 and beyond as long as a tribal gaming compact exists. County Commission approval of the deal today follows the okay of the Fair Board earlier this month.

If you try pronouncing the RR of Spanish like you do in English, not only will you be wrong, you'll also mark yourself as someone who doesn't care about trying to pronounce correctly. Although the RR of Spanish is different than what you're used to, it isn't all that difficult, and millions of native English speakers have mastered it. If you're one of those, please offer your explanation to others so they can learn as well.
Advice from a flautist
- As a flute player, I want to add that it requires using more air behind the tongue than people realize. Without that burst of air, you can do the soft R but not the RR nor the slightly trilled single R depending on its position in a word. Keep the tongue way forward in general for Spanish. English speakers talk with the tongue in the back of the mouth, especially Americans. In fact, a more subtle pronunciation issue involves the D's and L's, which actually have the tongue between the teeth to sound authentic. This is particularly true of the L at the end of words. It's called a palatalized L, which is identical to a Russian L, oddly enough. Back to Spanish, I recently studied it but heard my mother speak it fluently to others while growing up. I had an ear for the accent as a result, but have always been fascinated by how we produce sounds in speech, and from teaching flute, have had to learn to articulate how to physically do things I previously did without a thought. I hope my ideas help.

Use some "butter"
- I found this is the easiest way to do it. You don't literally need butter; just try to say the word a few times as fast as you can. Eventually, if you do it right (don't open your mouth too much), you will soon be able to roll your R's.
- —Guest rrrrrr
Reminds me of my grandmother
- My grandmother used to snore while sleeping, uttering the indecipherable sound GRRRR. When I read any Spanish word with the alphabets RR, I think of my grandmother and, voila, I speak the word correctly. Also being Indian, the languages Tamil and Telugu have alphabets with RR. Since I know both languages it is not a problem for me. Practice and practice alone continuously and it will be easy for you.

William Tell Overture
- I always thought I am short-tongued or just cannot pronounce rr, not just for Spanish and Italian but also Tamil where I came from in southeast Asia. I was looking at this post and everyone's helpful ideas, and i was practicing all of your suggestions but suddenly tried out something else on my own, and i think it is getting me there. Ten minutes later after continuous practicing, it actually got much better. It's the tune from horse racing, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7O91GDWGPU, go to 0:34 seconds, and do "trrtrrtrr-tt-tt" according to the speed of the music. I kept going "trrtrrtrr-tt-tt" over and over again and the "rr" seems better. Try it out!
- —Guest Katrina
Cars and guns
- Little kids sometimes make these sounds when imitating a machine gun and some do it when making car noises. Just put your tongue on the alveolar ridge (you can Google it; it's behind the teeth) and blow. At first don't worry about only doing it short. Do it long like machine gun. Then just work on controlling it where you only do it for a moment, like 3 trills.
- —Guest Josh
Try hard
- I tried hard and now I can do it! Try hard (instead of hardly trying).
- —Guest Roger
Tea for you
- This is helpful advice I had for pronouncing the Spanish r. Say "pot of tea," but rapidly. Close equivalent to "para ti."
- —Guest Marge Manke
Not too stiff
- I couldn't roll my rr's at all at first. Then I just flicked my tongue when saying "perro" it was an almost roll. I did that and said as many words as I knew with the rr. Eventually I got it. Don't make your tongue too stiff, keep it flat against your top teeth kind of and bend the tip so it's between the bumps on the roof of your mouth and your teeth. Then you practice as often as you can. Keep your tongue relaxed. When it's too stiff, it's much harder to roll your rr's. It'll be hard at first, but you'll notice yourself getting better with time. Good luck!
- —Guest RRRR
That sound
- All American kids make the "scary" sound. Uhohohohohoooo. That should get you started.
- —Guest Andy
Don't smile and try to roll!
- If you're at the point where sometimes you can roll your rr's and other times you can't, but cannot figure out why. Here are some things I noticed as I practiced: 1) Certain sounds before and after the rr put your mouth/lips in positions where you can't roll an r. You have to close your mouth! As you get better, you'll be able to get your mouth in the correct position faster and the sounds will merge more. 2) If you're laughing or smiling your lips are turned up and your mouth is open, so you won't be able to roll! 3) Do not make an English r sound, it also puts your mouth in the wrong position. Hope this helps!
- —Guest Nicole
Don't give up
- I started practicing the RR over a year ago and am still on websites looking for tips. Even so, I'm sure it's simply a matter of practice. Like all walks of life, some people are lucky and some have to work hard!
- —Guest J
If I can do it, so can you
- I learned Arabic some years ago, and gave up trying to trill the "rr" sound -- I thought I was "genetically" unable as I have some degree of tongue-tie. However, I am so motivated with Spanish that I gave it extra attention. I like the advice someone else gave, try it out somewhere when you aren't going to feel overheard, because there is definitely a need to really expel more air than you are used to, to make the trill. I too used practice words -- "carro," "burro," "corre," "aburrido" and I'm still jotting them doen to practice. It suddenly happened one day when I was in the car, and it's improving every day. I was ecstatic the first time I realized I'd succeeded. Definitely worth it for that natural "high." :)

How to pronounce your Spanish r's
- No need to tape-record examples. Instead, log on to http://www.oddcast.com/home/demos/tts/tts_example.php and feed in the sample sentences. You can even vary the dialects.
- —FulhamFC
- When I was first learning Italian it was REALLY hard to trill the r's . . . but singing along with Berlitz' Rush Hour Italian (they've got it in Spanish, too!) really helped. It was just easier to transfer from song to speech after singing many times.
- —Guest PatG
How to pronounce your Spanish r's
- Tape-record a native Spanish speaker saying these phrases: Roberto y Enrique paseaban alrededor de la reja. Querian entregar el recado, pero la cosa estaba tan enredada que optaron por esperar una hora más. No estaban enterado de que estaba enterrado el rico que había residido en ese barrio de Roma. Ere on ere cigarro, ere con ere barril, rápido corren los carros cargdos de azúcar del ferrocarril. Listen to the recording over and over and saying the phrases over and over.

Another great Bash! Thanks to all who work so hard to make it happen! Thumbs down, however, to the politician who wouldn't give my 8-yr. old a balloon, saying he wanted to save his helium for the "little kids". What? Since when is an 8-yr. old not a little kid?! I am SO not voting for THAT guy! ; )

Tony would never deny a kid a balloon! It was the other one...who actually showed up on my doorstep this morning (with a campaign pamphlet, still no balloon). Maybe he'll learn not to p*ss a mom off if he wants her vote. Grrrr....
Mjanicke 6 years, 8 months ago
Who was that politician? I'm sure we would all like to know. And maybe he would like to explain the situtation. I'd like to hear the explanation. I'm sure it seemed insulting to your 8 yr old. I don't blame you. But, let's let the guy explain. If he can.
morrissey 6 years, 7 months ago
Tony Brown would of been handing out those "Kansas, as bigoted as you think" bumper stickers to the kids.
thelongestnameonthespeakoutttt 6 years, 7 months ago
For those who have not noticed, Mr. Brown has taken that sticker off of his vehicle. Why is that? He will never get my vote simply because of that sticker. Is that truely how he feels about Kansans who do not agree with him?

The Obama Effect
Obama was criticized by some black leaders for not speaking out more forcefully on the Jena Six incident. "If I were a candidate, I'd be all over Jena," Jackson said after a speech at the historically black Benedict College in South Carolina. "Jena is a defining moment, just like Selma was a defining moment." By not seizing on the issue more, Jackson claimed, Obama was "acting like he's white." (Jackson later said his comment was misrepresented; the State newspaper of Columbia stood by its reporting.) But the parallels Jackson drew shed light on the key differences between his campaign and Obama's. For if he were the candidate he wouldn't be doing as well as Obama, and the reason is less because Obama is "acting white" than because he is making every effort not to act "too black."
Indeed, the main thing the new leaders have in common is that they don't scare white people. Or at least not too many and not too much. This is not an entirely accidental or insignificant fact. For while they do not control the way they are perceived, they do have some influence over how they come across. "In so much of the work I've done, I've found that you had to put people at ease on the question of race before you could even start to talk about what you were doing," explains Patrick. "I don't fit a certain expectation that some people have about black men. And I don't mean that as anything other than an observation about my life."
This is a sad but honest reflection on the reality of black middle-class life in America. Anyone who wants to make it in a predominantly white world has to navigate racism in all its subtlety and plausible deniability. In this sense the boardrooms and debating chambers are no different from the rap videos on BET. Race is, among other things, a performance.
Obama knows this only too well. In The Audacity of Hope, he recalls sitting in the Illinois Senate with a white Democratic legislator as they watched a black colleague (referred to as John Doe) deliver a speech on the racist implications of eliminating a certain program. "You know what the problem is with John?" the white senator asked him. "Whenever I hear him, he makes me feel more white." Obama reflected. "In defense of my black colleague, I pointed out that it's not always easy for a black politician to gauge the right tone to take--too angry? not angry enough?--when discussing the enormous hardships facing his or her constituents. Still, [his] comment was instructive. Rightly or wrongly, white guilt has largely exhausted itself in America."
Whether "white guilt" has ever truly been exercised, let alone exhausted, and what good it ever did anyone even if it has, are moot points. The fact of the matter is that a black politician who wants white support must first "gauge the right tone." In 1995, when it seemed as though Colin Powell might run for President, he explained his appeal to white voters thus: "I speak reasonably well, like a white person," and, visually, "I ain't that black."
In the past this would not have mattered. There was a time when Powell could have been as light-skinned as a latte and as eloquent as Shakespeare and still not be in the running. In 1958, 53 percent of voters said they would not vote for a black candidate for President; in 1984 it was 16 percent; by 2003 it was 6 percent. Herein lies one substantial fact that is remolding the nature of black politics and the opportunities for black politicians--white people have become a viable electoral constituency for black candidates. According to a Washington Post/ABC News poll early this year, a candidate's being over 72, a Mormon or twice divorced are all greater issues for voters than race.
There is, of course, the very real chance that they are lying.In the past white voters have told pollsters that they were happier about voting for black candidates than they actually were, leaving the vote for black candidates about five points less than predicted. This was once known as the Bradley effect, after the 1982 gubernatorial candidacy of black Democratic candidate Tom Bradley in California. Bradley was ahead in the polls until the very end but lost. Some white voters who said they would vote for Bradley changed their minds on election day. Seven years later it was renamed the Wilder effect, after Douglas Wilder narrowly scraped to victory as Virginia governor in what, according to polls, ought to have been a far more comfortable win.
But it seems unlikely that this time around there will be an "Obama effect." A report by the Pew Research Center, which matched the polls to the results for five black candidates in statewide races during the 2006 midterms, found that they were highly accurate. "Fewer people are making judgments about candidates based solely, or even mostly, on race itself," concluded the Pew report. This change in voting patterns enables black candidates to make substantial rather than symbolic runs for state or even national office and therefore lends different potential priorities to black political possibilities. But to be successful they have to nurture a different base and create a different coalition of interests than their predecessors did.
"The civil rights generation saw politics as the next step in the struggle for civil rights," explains Salim Muwakkil, senior editor of In These Times. "Their aim was to get their agenda taken up by whoever won. But this new generation do not conceive politics as the next step but just as what it is--politics. Their aim is to win."n

I gave this a try for both cats and dogs, but found that one or more of my cats (and my dog) had stomach upset with it. I would find presents around the house, so I don't know if it was all or just one or two.
Pros: My cats came running when this was in their dishes...
Cons: Upset stomach

Thank you, all, for you care and concern. The ripples of this tragedy continue to spread closer and closer to home. My heart breaks over and over again. I have no words.
It breaks my heart everytime I see it on the news. I saw with Liv yesterday and she kept asking me why I wouldn't let her go.
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.
Something has to change.
The chances of being shot dead in the uk are 1:1.5million
The chances in the US are 1: 10,000 based on 2007 figures and ours have gone down each year since those stats. (Ie less likely in the uk)
You should not be able to walk into a supermarket and buy bread and ammo.
Unless it changes this will happen time and time and time again.
RIP little ones
More than one something has to change. We need to become thoroughly comprehensive on control of firearms. End of story.
We need to treat all mental illness as seriously as we do cancer. End of story.

Perdurance, Endurance, and 'Having a Property Atemporally'

In this paper, I argue that both perdurance theory and the 'relations-to-times' endurantist view rely on an atemporal notion of property instantiation and relation bearing. I distinguish two possible meanings of 'atemporal' which result in two different understandings of what it is for an object to have a property or to bear a relation atemporally. I show that standard presentations of the theories considered are indeterminate as to which of these two understandings is the intended one. I claim that even if both understandings are admissible, one of them is more attractive and has more to recommend than the other.
