How Chuck Jones Defined America Through Cartoons
By R. C. Baker
Between Riverside and Crazy Bares Its Wounds
By Tom Sellar
With an assist from a larger-than-life performance by Corin Redgrave, The General From America takes a Shakespearean approach to Arnold's character. We see glimpses of the man from a variety of sideslollygagging at home in Philadelphia with his attractive young wife Peggy (Yvonne Woods) and spinster sister Hannah (Kate Kearney-Patch); hounded by petty details at work; even grandly encountering General Washington (Jon DeVries), the one man he considers an equal. Like Coriolanus, Arnold has returned from war a hero and expects civilians to continue to defer to him as such. The only difference is that, as the revolution still rages, the colonial situation remains too imperiled to allow anyone to rest on his laurels.
Battle scars including a painful gimp make Arnold even less tolerant toward the young Alexander Hamilton (Jesse Pennington), who comes to question him on a few professional irregularities, such as the commandeering of public wagons for personal business. "Has fighting for your country now been promoted by the goddamn politicians to a crime punishable by death?" Redgrave's Arnold asks with a roar that suggests a lion being assailed by a moth. More aggravating still are the questions concerning his wife's improprieties during the British occupation. "Is it now a crime to wear English dress?" he asks with condescending bravado. "To listen to English music. . . . Hang me because I have a wife with taste!"
By Joe Penhall
Atlantic Theater
336 West 20th Street
Arnold's frivolous marriage to Peggy won't get him hanged, but it will encourage him to rethink his loyalties. This is especially the case after he's betrayed by Washington, who found him guilty on a few minor bureaucratic charges to satisfy a sanctimonious Philadelphia commission threatening to withhold much needed battle supplies. Forced to abandon his home, Arnold is posted to West Point, where he stirs bitterly with his pregnant wife who dreams of living instead in New York City, a place with plays and concerts still going on. "But then of course that's the British influence," she remarks ruefully. "Culture."
Nelson, who directed this co-production between Theatre for a New Audience and the Alley Theatre with his usual smooth hand, quietly pursues his compelling ironies. Exploring the human complexity behind such a reductive term as "traitor," he exposes the puritanical hypocrisy and corruption that marched beside the heralded courage of our national beginnings. Against a pervasive background of sermonizing self-interest, Arnold's crimes seem less monstrous than miscalculated. Or, as he puts it himself, "I've betrayed nothingthat has not already betrayed itself." When his death in London is finally reported to Congress, the words "God Bless America" ring as hollowly in the air as they do in our current moments of delusional patriotic grandeur.
While Nelson's small but substantive character study discreetly goes about its business, Joe Penhall's Blue/Orange blaringly announces its import as though we were all in danger of missing the point. The joke is, it really doesn't have oneexcept to bore an audience with smug academic abstractions on the power games behind the labeling of mental illness. Suffice it to say that even an Anglophile as shameless as Peggy Arnold would have to take issue with the groundswell of British hype that has preceded this stale exercise in drama.
Christopher (Harold Perrineau Jr.), an Afro-Caribbean psychiatric patient, can be classified as either a borderline personality or full-blown schizophrenic, depending on how you diagnose his insistence that the orange in his hand is actually blue. Bruce (Glenn Fitzgerald), a psychiatric intern, doesn't think Christopher is ready to be released and so advocates the psychotic label. His supervisor Robert (Zeljko Ivanek), a blindly ambitious doctor who's writing a book on the ethnocentric tendencies in the treatment of minority patients, thinks it best to release Christopher to his community. A struggle over Christopher's soul ensues in the sterile consulting room, with neither physician able to look beyond his own challenged ego to see the muddled case before him.
Directed by Atlantic Theater artistic director Neil Pepe, the production compounds the generic quality of the writing, which seems derivative of both Pinter's The Hothouse and Mamet's Oleanna while wholly lacking in the convincing detail of Penhall's earlier foray into the lost world of schizophrenic illness, Some Voices. Worse, it's all self-impressed talk and no revelatory actionin short, a play filled with the kind of drawing-room longueurs that only a real Brit could love.

He said the family had planned a big get-together at Christmas but that had not been possible. "But we are here today as a family and the only one who's missing is Reeva," he said, breaking down and weeping.
At the court, Nel said the killing was premeditated because Pistorius had planned to say that he thought he was shooting an intruder, and had told that story to his sister, Aimee.
"It was all part of the preplanning. Why would a burglar lock himself inside the bathroom?" Nel asked. The shooting happened at Pistorius' home in a guarded and gated community in a luxury suburb of Pretoria.
Roux, in arguing that Pistorius should be freed on bail, he said there were no other charges outstanding against the double-amputee who last year became the first double-amputee track athlete to run at the Olympics.
Legal experts say it could take months for the case to be tried.
Pistorius, in a gray suit and tie, nodded after the chief magistrate asked if he was well. And he nodded his appreciation when his brother, Carl, pressed his shoulder in support. Journalists jammed into the courtroom, which was full with almost 100 people, including Pistorius' father, Henke, and sister Aimee.
In an email to The Associated Press on Monday, Pistorius' longtime track coach — who was yet to comment — said he believes the killing was an accident.
"I pray that we can all, in time, come through this challenging situation following the accident and I am looking forward to the day I can get my boy back on the track," Ampie Louw wrote in his statement. "I am still in shock following the heart-breaking events that occurred last week and my thoughts and prayers are with both of the families involved."

Gov. Andrew Cuomo raised some eyebrows earlier this week when he said Superstorm Sandy was "more impactful" in some ways than Hurricane Katrina, the deadly storm that ravaged the Gulf Coast in 2005.
NOLA.com, the website for The Times-Picayune of New Orleans, isn't so sure.
In a piece posted last night, NOLA.com scribe Bruce Alpert wrote that Cuomo's comparison doesn't add up.
From Alpert's piece:
"But despite significant loses, including over 100 deaths from Sandy, the comparison to Katrina just doesn't hold up.

JERICHO/NEWPORT–The 2012 North Country girls tennis team got their season underway last week against Mount Mansfield.
While it was partly sunny with seasonable temperatures here in Newport, it was miserable in Jericho.
From the moment the team arrived at the courts rain poured down upon the players, forcing them to deal with the miserable conditions until the matches were eventually suspended.
FAIRFAX–The Lake Region Lady Rangers opened their 2012 softball season much like they did in 2011. With snow still twirling around the air and temperatures straddling the 40-degree mark, the Rangers could not overcome first-game jitters, falling to perennial powerhouse Fairfax, 8-3.
Fairfax got things rolling in the first inning, pushing across four runs (three of which were unearned), as Lake Region generously assisted their hosts with four errors.
ORLEANS – "The goal for the season is to compete, be productive and have an athlete compete in every event." Those were the words of Coach Auclair during a preseason workout.
This season's squad will be larger than usual, with 20 girls and 16 boys making up the 36 member team. 10 freshmen have also made the jump to the track and field team.
NEWPORT CITY – A summer tradition is about to end for good. North Country Federal Credit Union wants to tear down the well-known LB Snack Bar on the Derby Road and replace it with a new branch building.
The Newport Development Review Board will take up the permit request Wednesday, April 11. The sale of the property is contingent on the issuance of the permits. According to the application, the project involves demolishing the snack bar and surrounding buildings and constructing a new 2,750 square foot facility with two drive-through lanes and an ATM.
DERBY LINE – The Village of Derby Line is getting new sidewalks. Voters at the annual village meeting Tuesday gave a unanimous yes for village officials to move forward on the project.
The sidewalks are crumbling in many places in the village and near the Haskell Library; walkers are forced to cross the street in one area. But that's about to change.
The village is expecting a $300,000 grant from the Vermont Department of Transportation for the project; the village must contribute 20 percent or $60,000. Half of that amount, or $30,000, can be in the form of in-kind services.
JAY PEAK - Team Canada woman's coach Dan Church is in his first year as head man of the national team. He has been around the block in terms of hockey experience however and knows the pressure that is on his team.
"We tell our team that pressure is a privilege," he said. "When you represent Canada, you are expected to play well. That pressure is a good thing. I don't know if I agree that we are the favorite since we have had trouble winning the World's lately. But we expect to play well each time out."
The rivalry with the USA has made both teams better.
NEWPORT–A cold day with a mix of sun and clouds greeted the North Country boys tennis team as they kicked off their season against Mount Mansfield Wednesday afternoon.
With the Falcons and Cougars splitting the six matches, it came down to total games won, and with a 61-57 advantage, North Country picked up the win.
Dave Durivage dropped the first set 2-6, but rallied to take the next two 6-1, 7-5, defeating Dave Poleson in the number one slot.
"Dave's match was all about ebb and flow," said coach Gary Atchinson. "He fought his way through it and toughed it out in the end."
NEWPORT CITY – There are thousands of new fish in the Clyde River this week, thanks to the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department. The department dumped three truckloads of fish off the Clyde Street Bridge Monday and Tuesday.
The hatchery stocks 30,000 salmon smolts in the Clyde River every spring. The hatchery stocked another 3,000 fish total in Seymour and Willoughby lakes Tuesday afternoon.Â
DERBY LINE – At the Derby Line Annual Meeting Tuesday voters were asked if they support the proposed Derby Line Wind Project. Voters said no by a wide margin. However, only 33 people voted. The results were 24 no and nine yes by paper ballot straw vote. There are 401 registered voters in the village.
The chair of the board of trustees, Keith Beadle, is not sure if the vote reflects the true sentiment of village residents considering the low turnout. He thinks those who oppose something are more likely to be vocal than supporters.

I bought this refrigerator a month ago for my apartment and am very happy with it. My top two priorities when looking for a new fridge was that it was 1) not noisy (the reason why I got a new fridge) 2) meet my volume/ box dimensions requirements. The layout and arrangement inside works fine- no issues. The freezer comes with an auto icemaker but I don't use it (there's no water access for my fridge). The door was reversible which I ended up having the delivery guys reverse for me. There are no handles on this model, the "handles" are recesses/dips in the doors (top edge for fridge, bottom edge for freezer). This hasn't been an issue for me... Only thing maybe if you have long finger nails and you open the door in a hurry you could break a nail. For the price this is great value!

I bought this fridge because it was a perfect fit for my new kitchen andI I liked the interior/size of the fridge. Within a week of delivery, the fridge had a loud humming throughout the day and night. The repair was made and the fridge isn't too loud now. The repair was having the MOTOR replaced. That's pretty surprising given it was a NEW fridge. (It was covered, fortunately, under the warranty.)

Cepheid Announces Symposium Speakers and Program Highlights for 19th European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID)
Test for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) Expected to Highlight Broad On-Demand CE IVD Test Menu at Booth #611
The Cepheid Symposium, "Patient Management in the Era of Rapid Diagnostics," will take place at
9:00 MRSA in Paediatric Patients: What Rapid Testing Reveals Presented by Dr. Jim Gray, Senior Microbiologist, Birmingham Children's Hospital 9:30 Detecting C. difficile: Slowly or Quickly? Presented by Professor Mark Wilcox, Professor in Medical Microbiology, Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Leeds 10:00 Do We Need Rapid Tests to Detect Tuberculosis and Rifampicin Resistance? Presented by Dr. Sabine Ruesch-Gerdes, National Reference Centre for Mycobacteria, Borstel, Germany 10:30 Will Community MRSA and C. difficile Change Infection Control in Hospitals? Presented by Dr. Fred Tenover, Cepheid, Sunnyvale, CA
"The 19th ECCMID Congress is shaping up to be extremely interesting in light of recent UK directives from the Department of Health concerning mandatory MRSA screening for all elective admissions and other developments in infection control across Europe," said Dr.
Xpert MTB/RIF not only detects the presence of TB organism directly from sputum in less than two hours, but also identifies whether the strain is resistant to rifampicin, a commonly used first-line drug for treatment of the disease. Many studies have shown that rifampicin resistance is a reliable surrogate marker of strains that are multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB), and the frequency of MDR-TB is increasing in the EU. The test is expected to enable clinicians to dramatically improve the way they initially manage tuberculosis by helping them to make the right therapeutic decision on the first day of the initial patient encounter.
Cepheid currently offers European clinicians a broad menu of on-demand molecular diagnostic tests designed to enhance patient management. The full menu of CE IVD tests expected to be available for demonstration at booth #611 include:
- Xpert(R) MTB/RIF
- Diagnostic test for the simultaneous detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and resistance to rifampicin
- Xpert(R) C. difficile
- Diagnostic test for Clostridium difficile infection
- Xpert(R) vanA/vanB
- Detection of vanA and vanB, the genes most associated with hospital-acquired vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE)
- Xpert(R) MRSA
- Surveillance test for nasal carriage of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
- Xpert(R) MRSA/SA BC
- Diagnostic test for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus and S. aureus in positive blood culture bottles
- Xpert(R) MRSA/SA Nasal
- Pre-Surgical Nasal Screening Test for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus and S. aureus
- Xpert(R) MRSA/SA SSTI
- Diagnostic test for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus and S. aureus in skin and soft tissue
- Xpert(R) EV
- Diagnostic test for Enteroviral Meningitis
- Xpert(R) GBS
- Test for vaginal carriage of Group B Streptococcus
- Xpert(R) BCR-ABL Monitor
- Monitoring test for patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML)
Congress attendees can also look forward to a wide variety of insightful presentations, based on recent studies, highlighting the important role of molecular diagnostics. Presentations include:
- Dr.
Beryl Oppenheim, Director of Infection Prevention and Control, Birmingham City Hospital: Comparison of the performance of four rapid tests against the gold standards of cytotoxicity assay and culture in the diagnosis of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI)
- Dr.
Kathleen Bamford, Reader and Honorary Consultant Medical Microbiologist, Imperial College, London: Evaluation of commercial toxin detection and two nucleic acid amplification tests for the routine detection of Clostridium difficile infection
- Dr.
Andrej Weintraub, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm: Comparison of a multiplex real-time PCR and the cytotoxicity neutralization assay for the diagnosis of Clostridium difficile infections
- Dr.
Jim Gray, Senior Microbiologist, Birmingham Children's Hospital: Experience with polymerase chain reaction-based methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus screening in paediatrics

BLACKFOOT – Blackfoot Community Center (BCC) received two grants last week. One grant was from the Bistline Foundation Fund and the other was received from the CHC Foundation, Inc.
BCC received a grant for $3,000 from the F.M. and Anne G. and Beverly B. Bistline Foundation Fund in the Idaho Community Foundation to purchase exhibits for the art and music rooms of BCC's Children's Museum of Idaho.
"We are fortunate to receive the Bistline Grant," said Ashlee Howell, Director of BCC. "The grant money will be used to expand the children's theater.
"We are working to remodel the Children's Museum Building on Sexton Street," she said. "When finished, it will include lifts, props and staging."
The staging area is part of the early childhood program at BCC for children, ages infants through second grade.
"It will be open for families," said Howell. "There will be additional museum hours.
"We want to provide opportunities that are open to the public."
The CHC Foundation, Inc., awarded the BCC $16,000 for indoor playground equipment.
"The grant pays for only a portion of the expense," Howell said.
"We have great parks in Blackfoot, like Jensen Grove," she said, "However, with our long winter months and cold weather from October through June, there hasn't been much indoor recreation available until now.
"We want to develop an indoor playground with more amenities to the public," said Howell. "It can be used for, say, parents' night out.
"It a way for families and children to unite," said Howell.
The Board of Directors of CHC Foundation, Inc., also awarded Hobbs Elementary School in Shelley a grant for $4,269 for graphing calculators.
Stuart Elementary in Shelley was awarded $3,000 for library books from the CHC Foundation.
The CHC Foundation also awarded Rockford Elementary School in the Snake River School District $2,500 for an outdoor classroom.
During its spring 2012 award cycle, the CHC Foundation gave 39 grant awards that totaled $224,259. All recipients are eligible 501(c)3 organizations located in the 10 counties of Southeastern Idaho. Â
The Fall 2012 granting application session is currently open and CHC Foundation is receiving grant applications now through July 27, 2012.
Please visit the website: www.chcfoundation.net to download all necessary application forms and specific deadline dates. If you have additional questions, please call (208) 522-2368 during morning hours.
The spring-summer grant cycle awarded by the Bistline Fund totaled $55,000 to arts-focused nonprofits in southeastern Idaho.
The Bistline Fund gives grants twice each year. It was established in 2011. Previously, it was the F.M. and Ann G. and Beverly B. Bistline Foundation, a private foundation founded in 1999 by Pocatello philanthropist Beverly Bistline and named in honor of her parents.
The Idaho Community Foundation is a statewide public nonprofit organization whose goal is to have a permanent endowment of charitable dollars that will serve Idaho forever. Each named fund has a designated purpose and distributes grants or scholarships to support a charity or cause.
A gift of any size to an ICF fund helps increase the size and number of grants and scholarships awarded to local nonprofits and students.

The body of a method is already defined and it is ready to use such type of methods are called as pre-defined methods. If user knows the functionality of a method and name of a method in lang package or any particular package. Methods can be used in our program by importing the method into our class.
Hence the statement is TRUE.
"return" is reserved word in java and it is used to return the value to a method. It should be last statement in the method or any block. The "return" statement can able to return only one value at a time.
Hence the statement is TRUE.
There are two types of method parameters, they are as follows
a) Formal parameters
b) Actual parameters
By using these parameters it is possible to use different values in our method, because each time it is possible to pass different values to our method dynamically.
Hence the statement is TRUE.
"return" is the last statement in a method .If return statement is executed then it means method is completely executed means the body of a method is defined and the method is ready to execute .The method exists and ready to use into our program.
Hence the statement is TRUE.
"return" statement can able to return any type of values.
Hence the statement is FALSE.
Variable and method are distinguished with parenthesis so even though the method doesn't use any parameters, for method should use parenthesis after the method name.
Hence the statement is TRUE.
Method has two types of parameters (i.e) formal and actual parameters.
They are defined in the different blocks so allowed to use same or different parameter names.

RVD return
Since he still has a good amount of fans, people have been wondering when Rob Van Dam would make another return to WWE. During a recent interview, he revealed why he is not in a rush to do so. He stated that he enjoyed his return in 2013 because the company was fully behind him. When he made his return in 2014, RVD felt that the creative department had nothing for him. He felt like he was lost in the shuffle.

RVD at Royal Rumble
Since he remains on good terms with the company and makes frequent returns and appearances, rumors about Rob Van Dam being a mystery entrant during the Royal Rumble continue to persists. He touched on the topic during an interview with Booker T. RVD stated that he is going to be riding his bike in California on Sunday night. The former world heavyweight champion also noted that fans are not going to believe him anyways.

Rob Van Dam at Royal Rumble
If Rob Van Dam making a surprise appearance on Monday Night Raw was not enough to satiate your appetite for the hardcore legend, then WWE might have something else for you to snack on when the Royal Rumble rolls around. While the company has leaned away from including several ECW performers to capitalize on the Philadelphia market, RVD remains one of the guys that might be utilized as a surprise entrant. Management always likes having a couple of those each year.

Questions and Answers
User Reviews
I am a ski instructor and these are perfect for me being on the mountain all day with students. They are also perfect for when I just want to ride. Perfect fit. Comfortable. Warm. Great pants.
This is the first review of these pants on the internet. At least I couldn't find any when I was looking. Just got the pants yesterday, so I didn't have a chance to wear them at the slopes, but I'm sure they'll be fine. Very good fabric - nice thick soft shell material with soft and warm fleece backing. The deion says - perfect for warmer conditions and they are right, without any layers underneath they would be perfect for warmer weather, but if you add a thick warm base layer you'll be fine in the sub zero temperatures! it's all about layering, isn't it? They are true to size and I love the way they fit - not too tight and definately not baggy. No waist adjuster so you'll need a belt. Multiple pockets? Well, I guess 2 is multiple It only has 2 on the sides. I wish they had zippers on the bottom and a more durable scuff guards, but overall I'm happy with the pants and would definately recommend if you are looking for a soft shell pants.

Japan to review testimony of women who served in wartime brothels
Published on Feb 21, 2014 8:05 PM
TOKYO (REUTERS) - Japan will review the testimony of South Korean women who served in wartime brothels, a senior official said on Friday, but he gave no indication whether Tokyo might water down a 1993 apology on the issue that has long caused friction with its neigbhbours.
The possibity of a revision to the landmark apology, known as the Kono Statement, drew outrage from South Korea and China, from where many of the "comfort women" - as the women who served in the brothels are known in Japan - were recruited.
The move comes as remarks on the wartime past by aides to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe raise concerns about his increasingly conservative agenda, aimed at bolstering the military and recasting history with a less apologetic tone.
Japan's ties with South Korea are frayed by a territorial row and the legacy of its 1910-1945 colonisation of the Korean peninsula, including the question of compensation and an apology to women forced to serve in military brothels in World War Two.

Dear Poll: Would You Date a Man With a Kid?
by DearSugar
Like us on Facebook
I went on a date once with a man who told me — on the way to dinner, mind you — that he had a 10-year-old son with an ex-girlfriend. I am not one to judge, but at that time in my life, I wasn't too keen on the idea of dating a man with a child. As I have said many times before, I am very traditional when it comes to marriage and family, so ideally, I want to start a family with a man who doesn't already have a family of his own. Granted, if I happen to fall in love with someone who already has kids, so be it, but let me throw it out to all of you — would you date someone with kids?
Packerfan4 7 years
Stuck in the middle. I have a sister who is raising a beautiful daughter all on her own. The father isn't and chose not to be in the picture from the very begining (blessing in disquise). Not that my niece is 5 my sister has finally had some time to date and she has met a great guy who doen't have a family and he gets along with my niece perfectly. However I am dating a guy who has a son with one of those crazy exgirlfriends. There is baggage and tension whenever he has his son. I try not to focus on their problems and look more at that little boy and whats for him. No I will never be his "mom" but when he is older he'll remember who was really there. I don't have kids of my own yet but I plan on it. If it's with this guy then great...a premade family is still a family no matter how you look at it. Someone said that you can't love someone elses as much as your own...I say ask any parent that has ever adopted and they might have something to say about that.
Jeng112 7 years
Only if the relationship is long over, he's civil but not too friendly with the ex, and he plays an active role in the childs life. These are all signs of maturity, and since I myself am divorced, I can testify that sometimes you make a bad life choice with the wrong person.
chatondeneige 7 years
I'm so young right now that I wouldn't be willing to date someone with children of his own - not because I want to start fresh or don't want to deal with exes (someone tell me how to avoid that!,) but I just don't feel like they'd be on the same emotional level as I am. I'm still at the point where I'm irresponsible and flaky, I don't want to impose that on a guy with real-world responsibilities! Maybe in a few years when I grow up a little bit. :)
-Maryan- 7 years
No, I want to have my own family.
CandyCane 7 years
Actually I do and it doesn't really bother me, me and his ex-wife get along just fine.
ShoeWhoreDre 7 years
Been there, done that and never ever again! Too much baby mama drama!
juliemyjewel 7 years
Tokenguy, I wouldn't date a man with kids. I also wouldn't blame a man for not dating a woman with kids..not at all.
FB1977 7 years
Oh I wanted to add also that I'm 30 now, but I doubt I would have been so keen on it in my early twenties.
FB1977 7 years
It's funny, I used to be like a lot of you saying no way, never...and my mom would always say oh you can't help who you fall in love with honey, and boy was she ever right (as always). I always said never would I, and then I met my current boyfriend, who's been married before & has 2 kids. I'm not going to say it's easy, but I love him & his kids so I don't mind at all.
Lovely_1 7 years
Nope, espiecailly at my age I wouldn't! I'm only 20, I dont' want to ahe to be responsible for someone elses child. That's why I take the precautions I do now.
LadyLibertine 7 years
I think it would be on a case by case situation. How close are he to his kids, what is the situation with the ex wife or ex partner. Is there any possible more that could happen, either for the kids or for just love. How long into the relationship am I, where do I see and or want this to go to. In the end just like all relationships have bumps and things to deal with or things that make it unique and or special. Kids may add to the relationship or break it up. That can happen when you are entering a pre made family or making one of your own.
Jinx 7 years
Its like this post didn't even consider the fact that there would be women with children on here answering this. :mob:
Jinx 7 years
I can understand how some people aren't at that same stage in their lives and want to "start fresh" on their own family. But, um, alot of women, who are dating, have children also, like myself, so I would date a man with a child, because if a man dates me, he'll be dating a woman with a child.
LaLaLaurie06 7 years
I don't know that the reason would be that I wouldn't want to deal with an ex-wife or whatever. But if I marry this guy, I want to have a few years to ourselves before kids start popping up. I'm not looking for a ready-made family.
jessicaeden 7 years
I'd prefer not to, but its not a deal-breaker for me.
xo_verity 7 years
NO! - But not because I want a family of my own. I am never having kids and I'm not the best when it comes to handling kids so I just couldnt date a man with them.
Agent214x 7 years
Of course I would if I was really interested in this guy. The guy I am interested in has 3 children. Doesn't bother me. :]
ninjastarlett 7 years
I'm sorry you're disappointed, tokenguy, but to be fair, the question simply asks the communities for their personal preferences on a hypothetical situation... I'm still pretty young and I still have a lot of (possibly foolish) hopes about what marriage and children will be like for me... so dating someone with children is pretty out of the question as far as that goes.
tokenguy 7 years
I can't believe the reactions here. If the genders were reversed in the question, I think we'd be seeing very different answers here. Frankly, I'm disappointed.
lickety-split 7 years
no! i'm married with 3 kids myself, but when i was single i would never have dated a man with children. that was actually one of my requirements; no dependents. and should anything happen to my dh i can't imagine i'd be hot property on the dating scene with 3 little ones, lol.
leeluvfashion 7 years
I'm open to it; I would never say no to a relationship just because he has a kid/kids. Although I think I would have to be at an age where I feel comfortable w/ having kids in my life. I love kids so it would depend on the timing/situation.
designergirl 7 years
I just don't think I could handle all that drama with the kids. I'm not a very nurturing person, so kids would freak me out too much. I think I could only be a good mom to my own. I'm the kind of person who cringes when a child is near them at a restaurant. To each their own.
vmruby 7 years
Yes..... i've only dated one guy who had a child and i married him.From the very start it's worked out well for us and I've never regretted it for a single moment.I have one of the sweetest stepsons any stepmother could ever hope for.I absolutely adore him.
chicaparati17 7 years
Nope, no babymama drama for me. AND if you guys decide to have children one day then the "excitement" wont be the same for him because he's already had his first child..not with you!
sass317 7 years
I have dated a guy with a kid, in fact I was at the hospital when his son was born. The baby wasnt the problem, the bf was- he was irresponsible and an addict and a liar. I accepted the ex and the child, in fact when I called her to tell her that I had kicked him out, she said she understood and that she would miss me bc she knew he would never date anyone else who was as accepting and willing to help as I was. Luckily I dont have to worry about being in that situation again, I married a great guy who has the same kind of views I do (being VERY careful with the birth control until married and wanting to have a baby).

To his friend, Ramon, one of the few honest policemen in town, the message is all too clear: Dionisio's letters to the press, exposing the drug barons, must stop; and although Dionisio manages to escape the hit-men sent to get him, he soon realises that others are more vulnerable, and his love for them leads him to take a colossal revenge.

Author information
Louis de Bernieres is the best-selling author of Captain Corelli's Mandolin. His most recent novels are Birds Without Wings and A Partisan's Daughter.
Review quote
"Sharp, funny, engaging...de Bernieres is doing for Colombia's drug culture what Tom Sharpe did for apartheid. His approach is flippant, but the purpose behind it is deadly serious" Financial Times "Vibrant, lucid, charged with wild jokes and harrowing scenes smelted with torture...a book which shudders with memorability...satirical and splendid" Scotland on Sunday "It's a delightfully mesmerising book. Set in a mythical South American country that's a composite of real South American history and Bernieres's fertile imagination, and therefore a perfect companion to take on a south-of-the-border vacation - the book is awash in the realities and flavour of South America and the lunacies of Bernieres's genius" Stephanie Gold "Amusing, terrifying and ultimately sobering" New York Times Book Review

American Medical Systems, Inc. ("AMS") is a Minnesota based manufacturer of transvaginal mesh medical devices, which are support systems that are designed to correct stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. Transvaginal meshes have been under a cloud of safety concerns for several years due to an extreme rate of product failures. Many women that were implanted with transvaginal mesh have experienced problems such as infections, hardening of the mesh, shrinkage of the mesh, mesh erosion, pain, bleeding, scarring, pain during sexual intercourse, formation of adhesions, organ perforation and urinary problems that require additional treatment and hospitalization. Transvaginal mesh also causes psychological concerns such as intimacy and sexual problems.
Numerous lawsuits have been filed against AMS and other manufacturers such as Boston Scientific, C.R. Bard, Coloplast Corp. and Ethicon over the transvaginal mesh devices, most of which are pending in the Multidistrict Litigation ("MDL") proceedings pending before Judge Goodwin in the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia.
This week, attorneys Cal Warriner and Kelly Hyman filed two additional individual lawsuits in the MDL against AMS relating to its transvaginal mesh products on behalf of two women who were implanted with an AMS transvaginal mesh product. Since the implantation, these women have suffered a number of complications mentioned above.

Del Mar sound technology classes attract students whose passion is music
Program helps prepare them for film, recording careers
Del Mar College sound technology student Vanessa Noguera sat in front of a computer, two effects mixers and a keyboard recently, listening to the same Peter Gabriel clip over and over.
She had to decipher frequencies in a clip of his 1986 hit "Sledgehammer." Only several years ago Noguera was teaching sixth-graders at Wynn Seale Academy of Fine Arts.
"I never saw myself doing the same thing for years and years," said Noguera, who sings and plays guitar, and hopes to combine those skills with knowledge in recording technology, and one day become a certified sound technician. "Life is too short. You have to do as much as you can."
Del Mar College Assistant Professor Paul Bissell said sound technology classes there have attracted students who are serious about a career in the field, and those who just think they're fun. The classes -- which 36 students at the college currently take -- involve scoring and adding life-like sounds to film clips, learning how to operate equipment and software and training ears to identify frequencies.
"It's not hard to start a recording studio," Bissell said. "You can get the pro equipment for under $10,000. But learning how to use the equipment is a different story."
Right now, there are four courses offered, but the college last week approved turning the field into associate's degree and certificate programs next fall. The music department will add three more classes as well, that will cover topics such as small business ownership and music retail.
"The program really is a collection of a lot of classes we already teach," Bissell said. "We've been teaching the majority of these for 10 years. It's only now we're getting around to packaging it up."
The Del Mar College music building -- mostly filled with practice rooms for those studying music -- has one with stations loaded with audio software, keyboards and mixers. That's where Noguera and the other students work on their projects.
Noguera, who has a degree in English literature from Texas A&M, plans to complete the certificate program and possibly have her own recording studio.
The U.S. Department of Labor reports in 2004, the median annual salary for sound technicians was $38,110, with the top 10 percent making more than $80,000 a year.
But for students such as Noguera, opportunities in the profession are more about the passion than the money.
"This is something I would've done before, if I knew it was here," she said.

The holidays can be a stressful time in and of themselves, but some Michigan residents are bracing for more difficulty. About 45,000 people in the state who are currently receiving unemployment insurance through a federal extension program will lose that benefit by the end of the month.
People who fail or refuse to take a drug test as part of a job search could see their unemployment benefits revoked.
Michiganders who fail or refuse to take a drug test as part of a job search would lose their unemployment benefits under a bill in Lansing.
Michigan's unemployment rate has dropped slightly to eight-point-five percent.
The state says Michigan's unemployment rate fell 0.3 percentage points to 8.5 percent in the latest month, as number of people working rose while the number of jobless people shrank.
Michigan's Unemployment Insurance Agency is taking back its decision to only attend administrative insurance fraud hearings when large sums of money are at risk.
Unemployment figures have dropped for the majority of Michigan's regional labor markets, but have risen up north.
Michigan's monthly unemployment rate dipped slightly in October, and is down almost a full point from where it was at this time last year. It's still higher than the national average.
Governor Rick Snyder says he doesn't think voters should base their election decisions on month-to-month changes in jobs numbers. The nation's new unemployment rate was released Friday.
Michigan is reporting a second straight big drop in unemployment, with the rate down 2.1 percentage points in two months.
Michigan's unemployment rate dropped in September for the first time in six months. The decline was a very slight one-tenth of a percentage point to 9.3%.
Michigan's unemployment rate rose in August.
Seasonally unadjusted unemployment rates were up last month in each of Michigan's 17 major labor market areas.
Michigan's unemployment rate fell to 8.3% in April – a drop of two-tenths of a percentage point.
LANSING, MI (AP) - Gov. Rick Snyder is getting ready to sign bills aimed at saving Michigan employers money on unemployment insurance and worker's compensation benefits.
He plans to sign the bills at a 3:05 p.m. Monday news conference.
The bills would further limit the ability of a person who was fired for cause or who may have left a job voluntarily from collecting jobless benefits.
They would require some unemployed workers to take jobs after 10 weeks of benefits even if the jobs are outside the unemployed worker's previous experience or pay lower wages.

Erie County's April sales tax revenue saw the lowest monthly amount the county has collected since 2002.
The county collected $683,500 this month, or about 8 percent less than what officials projected.
The revenue is actually a reflection of January sales in the county, as there's a four-month lag in the collection process.
Read more about what this means in Tuesday's Register.

Statistics on goods transport by road describe the transport activity of lorries registered in Finland for both private and licensed transport in Finland and abroad. International transport refers to transportation from Finland abroad (exports), from abroad to Finland (imports), from abroad to another foreign country (crosstrade) and within a foreign country (cabotage). The statistical unit is a lorry. It is a question of sample statistics made quarterly as a postal inquiry, which can also be answered with a web questionnaire. Each year, the questionnaire is sent to altogether 10,000 lorry owners asking them to provide data on their lorries and their use over three or four consecutive survey days. The results of the statistics derive from the data obtained with this inquiry about lorry trips, which are then inflated with statistical calculation methods to correspond with the whole sampling frame and quarter.

State of Design Festival
July 20 – 22, 2011 Workshop

Stop Press***** Full workshop participants will get free admission to opening night and 4 day pass to Design Made Trade... So sign up for selection.
As part of 'Design Embassy' you are invited to express interest in participation in a two day Service Jam online with Indian Designers to design a service in Social Innovation.
True to the formula for Service Jams as established during the recent Global Service Jam, a brief will be announced 'real time' in India and Melbourne and groups of designers will develop and share ideas using rapid prototyping techniques and design processes to provide vibrant and creative solutions to community problems.
The brief is open but thought should be given to design of a potentially deliverable service.
The workshop would constitute attendance at the State of Design Festival opening night party on Wednesday July 20 at the Royal Exhibition Buildings with the venue open for the workshop Thursday and Friday 21 - 22 July then running through to Sunday.
Ideally it is hoped to have the services presented for display publicly on Saturday & Sunday.
Space at the venue is limited so only 20 participants can be accommodated, selection may be necessary based on experience and/or candour. So sign up!

Selection of workshop attendees
In order of ensuring the best result for the project, being a service that has potential as a live project we had gone to the Service Design network members in the first instance and have recently extended this to the social innovation networks.
Numbers are building slowly but we are aware of your individual situations and hope to close off applications on July 1, and notify successful applicants directly so as to not inconvenience.
We have had a major Indian public / private group join the Jam in "India - Future of Change" and we hope that this will lead to even more exciting developments and collaborations.
We have also secured sponsorship from Broken Gate wines so we won't have to fight at the bar on opening night for a drink.
I think I have checked the right button and given you the opportunity to link to your blog / websites so we can learn a little more about you.
Thanks for your interest and hope to be in touch soon.
