Hannibal, MO (PRWEB) October 15, 2012
Missouri insurance agency, Trust GDC, recognizes the anti-bullying awareness month by offering bullying prevention education to Missouri residents. Throughout much of the country, October means cooler temperatures, costumes and candy corn. Most people associate October with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but National Anti-Bullying Awareness Month is another cause to be recognized, according to Jamie Ruggles, Family Protection Advisor with GDC Insurance Services, a division of Trust GDC.
"I know I join other parents across the country who live in fear of their children being bullied at school. But how many of us take the time to think about whether or not our kid is the one doing the bullying?" asked Ruggles.
Over the past decade, bullying has gone from "just kids being kids" to finally being a serious issue, and in some cases, a crime. While Missouri has made many great strides in anti-bullying efforts, from new school policies and signed state laws, there is still much to be done.
As part of an effort to raise awareness about bullying, Trust GDC is providing these educational bullying prevention tips:
For schools:
For parents:
Statistics show that 1 in 3 young people in the United States are involved in bullying – as a bully, target of bullying, or both – according to the National Youth Violence Prevention Resource Center.
While cyber-bullying has become the latest focus, many hurtful words are still tossed around in cafeterias, school buses and classrooms. And the consequences are dire. Countless acts of suicide have been linked to bullying, including some in the state of Missouri.
So this month, Trust GDC is encouraging all Missouri residents to remember that actions speak louder than words and try to set a good example about the right way to treat others. The prevention of bullying starts at home.
For more info about how Trust GDC is bringing awareness to National Anti-Bullying Awareness month please contact Jamie Ruggles, Family Protection Advisor with GDC Insurance Services, a division of Trust GDC, at 877-848-6958.
About Trust GDC:
For 128 years and counting, Trust GDC has been dedicated to creating long-term relationships with its clients and companies the agency represents. Providing a combination of business strategies, insurance and risk management, with integrity and trust, has lead Trust GDC to evolve into a most well-respected Missouri insurance agency.

Yahoo's Most-Searched Celebrities in 2012: A Surprising List
Yahoo! News recently posted its 2012 Year in Review, listing the top 10 site searches. The list is pretty evenly split between famous people and topical items.
Here are the top search topics for 2012:
1. US election
2. iPhone 5
3. Kim Kardashian
4. Kate Upton
5. Kate Middleton
6. Whitney Houston
7. Olympics
8. Political polls
9. Lindsay Lohan
10. Jennifer Lopez
Next year probably won't see as much on the political side, or with the Olympics. The newly pregnant Kate Middleton may actually rise a few notches, but Kate Upton, Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, and Whitney Houston may not be there at all. Do you think Lindsay will have more catastrophes and hang on? And how interesting that all of the searched people are women in the entertainment field. Does that seem natural to you, or is it surprising?

During the Age of Jackson, New Hampshire was the one New England state that was consistently and firmly Democratic. In this book, Donald Cole points out the significant influence of New Hampshire Democrats on the national Jacksonian movement – an influence far out of proportion to the size of the state. Historians of the "consensus" school have theorized that Jacksonian Democracy bore little resemblance to Jeffersonian Republicanism, that Democrats differed little from their political opponents, and that issues were of no great significance in party politics.
Mr. Cole differs sharply with these views. Analyzing the careers of Isaac Hill and Levi Woodbury, together the nucleus of the New Hampshire Jacksonian movement, he traces the continuous development of issues to show that in New Hampshire the Democratic Party of 1830 descended directly from the Republican Party of 1800. The author makes use of ample statistical evidence and traditional secondary sources to show that Jacksonian Democracy in New Hampshire appealed particularly to the common man. Radically different socioeconomic groups supported the two parties in the election of 1832. Democrats came from the poor, hilly, remote farming villages, while National Republicans inhabited the larger, more accessible and more prosperous communities.
Donald B. Cole was Instructor in History, The Phillips Exeter Academy. He is the author of Handbook of American History, The Presidency of Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren and the American Political System.

What's so good?
By Jason Grishkoff | Sep 13, 2012 | Total plays: 27,914
Released on the 2009 album Fantasies, Metric's "Gimme Sympathy" poses an interesting question: who would you rather be? The Beatles, or The Rolling Stones?
For more, the answer's pretty clear...The Beatles. If you're wondering why, I've included an image at the bottom of this post that should demonstrate exactly why.
Even if you disagree with me on that (in which case, you're wrong), you can probably relate that this is a good song.

Infographic: Objects and Items for Servicemen and Women
This photographic infographic from GOOD shows results of the Pepsi Refresh Project to improve the lives of servicemen and women. Through $550,000 of funding for 14 projects, they've helped deliver about 10,000 care packages and dropped Girl Scout cookies into war zones to give soldiers a hint of home.
Maybe I like this because of my love for organized objects, but I think the outcomes add a certain meaning to the graphic too.

It can be really hard to be new to any game or community. Sometimes you just don't know what to do or if a question has been asked before. Have no fear! It's not scary at all to join the community on Hello Kitty Online. There are lots of nice, helpful, fun people who can't wait to be your friend.
Hello Kitty Online's forum moderators have instituted a positive posting policy. The guidelines are written to make sure that everyone is nice to each other and new members feel safe and secure posting to the website. If you're interested in posting on the Hello Kitty Online forums, make sure you follow these guidelines that were posted by Ishida:
- Respect the opinions and thoughts of others, regardless of how incorrect they may be (this does not include flaming, spamming and flooding).
- Be patient with the new community members. If they're having trouble about the site kindly direct them what to do so that they me be able to blend in with us all.
- Post with a purpose. We all know that this site is busy and we all want to share our experiences but please make sure that the topic you want to post hasn't been posted yet so that we could avoid redundancy and spam.
- Make an attempt to post in the proper forums. For instance, you would like to talk about music, you should post it in the music section and not inthe Anime section.
- It is always better to reply to a thread that has already been created than to start a new one. This completely throws off the main purpose of the discussion if it should branch out into another topic.
- If a topic is being debated, keep comments to the facts at hand - try not to criticize someone else's opinion, no matter how wrong you think it is.
- Insulting another member or "flaming" is never necessary under any circumstances.
- Do not pick on someone for making a redundant post or asking a "noob" question. If a thread needs to be closed, leave that to a moderator - taking care of such things is their job, NOT yours.
- If you find someone who is breaking the rules, please try to reason with them and not quarrel with them. If all else fails, report this user to the moderator along with the copy of your conversation as proof of their violation.
Remember to be respectful and treat other people the way that you want to be treated. Disagreements happen, but if you're going to play online you need to be mature enough to handle them. I can think of some other online game forums that could learn a lot from the Hello Kitty Online's positive posting policy.

Courts Split on Discrimination Suits by Christian Grad Students
A former Eastern Michigan University student has the right to present her religious discrimination suit to a federal jury, the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled.
Julea Ward was expelled from the university's graduate counseling program in 2009 after she asked her superiors to refer a gay client to another counselor. She said her Christian faith prevented her from affirming the homosexual lifestyle, but that she would be willing to counsel gays and lesbians on other issues.
In 2010, CT reported that a district court judge had ruled in Eastern Michigan's favor, arguing the university has "a rational basis for requiring its students to counsel clients without imposing their personal values." Friday's decision from the Sixth Circuit sends the case back to that court and gives Ward the chance to present her case before a jury.
"Although the university submits it dismissed Ward from the program because her request for a referral violated the ACA (American Counseling Association) code of ethics, a reasonable jury could find otherwise — that the code of ethics contains no such bar and that the university deployed it as a pretext for punishing Ward's religious views and speech," the court ruled.
In its opinion, the Sixth Circuit clarified that the fact that Ward asked to refer her client to someone else is what separates her case from a similar case in the 11th Circuit. In December, the 11th Circuit upheld a ruling in favor of a Georgia university that insisted a graduate counseling student keep her beliefs about homosexuality private.
Jennifer Keeton sued Augusta State University in July 2010 for violating her First Amendment rights after she was put on a remediation plan in order to comply with the counseling program's guidelines regarding homosexual clients. A federal court ruled in Augusta State's favor, saying the university only wanted Keeton to learn to not let her personal views affect her counseling services to gay and lesbian clients, in compliance with the ACA's code of ethics. Keeton had expressed intent to use conversion therapy on her gay or lesbian clients, whereas Ward planned to refer them to other counselors.
"Nothing in [Keeton's case] indicates that Augusta State applied the prohibition on imposing a counselor's values on the client in anything but an even-handed manner," the Sixth Circuit wrote in its opinion. "Not so [in Ward's case], as the code of ethics, counseling norms, even the university's own practices, seem to permit the one thing Ward sought: a referral."

Picture: Julianne Hough Rock of Ages - UK film premiere held at the Odeon Leicester Square - Arrivals. London, England - 10.06.12
Actress Julianne Hough was ready to reject a starring role in new movie musical Rock Of Ages until she learned Tom Cruise would be her leading man.
The blonde beauty admits she was turned off by the idea of hitting the big screen in another music-themed movie after parts in Burlesque and 2011's Footloose remake, and instead wanted to test her talents with a straight-up drama.
She tells the New York Daily News, "At first I was like, 'Yeah, I don't think I want to do another musical... Of course, you have to get your foot in the door somehow, so Burlesque and Footloose made sense. But I wanted to expand and grow as an actress."
But she had a change of heart as soon as director Adam Shankman revealed the Mission: Impossible actor had signed up to lead the star-studded cast.
She recalls, "He said, 'You know, Tom Cruise is in it.' And I was like, 'Right - I'll do one more (musical)!'"
Hough will be able to test her drama skills in her next film - she plays a Christian evangelist with burns over two-thirds of her body in screenwriter Diablo Cody's untitled directorial debut.

Orionids 2011: NASA sees meteor showers in ways you never will
During Saturday morning's Orionids shower, scientists will be watching for shooting stars that pound the moon in fiery explosions.
- The 2011 Orionids occur before dawn on Saturday morning, Oct. 22, 2011. Pictured: a Leonid meteor with a double afterglow from the 2009 shower. (Ed Sweeney/Flickr)
Early Saturday morning, something nutty will be going on in the skies.
The 2011 Orionids, flaming flakes of dust from Halley's Comet, will be darting around the blackness of space like shiny cave fish. When the meteor shower reaches its expected peak right before dawn, skywatchers camping out with their coffee and telescopes could see more than 15 green-and-yellow Orionids per hour.
Meanwhile, over at NASA headquarters, our nation's top astroscientists will be having their minds blown by a much groovier show: Meteors crashing into the moon like kegs of dynamite hurled by an interstellar Donkey Kong. It's like they'll be watching IMAX: Hubble 3D, while junior astronomers encrusted in morning dew will be trying to sneak glimpses of 1979's Meteor through a neighbor's partially closed blinds.
Just listen to how NASA's Tony Phillips describes these lunar detonations:
Cometary debris streams like Halley's are so wide, the whole Earth-Moon system fits inside. So when there is a meteor shower on Earth, there's usually one on the Moon, too. Unlike Earth, however, the Moon has no atmosphere to intercept meteoroids. Pieces of debris fall all the way to the surface and explode where they hit. Flashes of light caused by thermal heating of lunar rocks and moondust are so bright, they can sometimes be seen through backyard-class telescopes.
The main guy in charge of the U.S. Meteoroid Environment Office, Bill Cooke, has caught more than 250 fiery meteor-on-moon impacts. They're kind of neat, he says: "Some explode with energies exceeding hundreds of pounds of TNT." So here's hoping that Cooke and his team capture a couple of these amazing events on film and decide to share. God knows the footage of a lunar meteor flash on YouTube is less than spectacular.
Where should you be looking for the Orionids this year? Somewhere far away from the lights of D.C., of course. Search the eastern skies for a triangle formed by the Moon, red Mars and blueish Regulus. Keep your eyes within the triangle for the best chances of ogling an Orionid.
For more information, Spacedex has a great presentation on the annual October shower. And here's a helpful sky map from NASA (large version):

I am still hoping windows 8 is powering the xbox going forward just for access to the full app store and the buy once get both places aspect but I don't see them doing it.... as awesome as it would be.
Nope won't happen. The new Windows Kernel (which is powering Win8 and WP8) might power the next Xbox - but considering so far Win8 and WP8 are having two seperate OSes (despite WOA being available and probably compatible with WP8 hardware), I doubt they're going to share Win8 across PCs and Xboxes, I'm presuming it'll be a Windows Kernel-based OS, however.
On top of which, I also don't see Windows 8 (the full thing) coming to Xbox for the simple reason that Microsoft itself would become an OEM Manufacturer - meaning it'll compete with the likes of Dell, HP, MSI, and so on, putting Microsoft in a difficult position, as their latest machine would top anything they could offer - small form factor, playing the latest games (natively on the hardware), as well as internet browsing, metro apps, the works. It could even run MS Office. The only thing other OEMs would have going for it is that they could produce x86 boxes - whereas the Xbox is PPC based (and even that is an assumption).

Video of UNLV Star's Elbow Injury Surfaces
UNLV teammates, coaches and fans are grateful that star forward Mike Moser's dislocated elbow should only keep him sidelined for a month. Video of the injury shows that it could have been a lot worse.
Roughly five minutes in to the Rebels' 76–75 victory at Cal on Sunday, Moser dove for a loose ball along with Bears guard Brandon Smith, who fell onto Moser's right arm (unintentionally of course) and bent it in gruesome-looking fashion.
The junior from Portland, an Honorable Mention All-American last season, eventually returned to the bench with his arm in a sling and was in high spirits after his team's closely fought win.
Moser's projected return dovetails with the start of Mountain West Conference play. He's probably happiest that in this instance, an injury looked a lot worse than it actually was.
[WARNING: The injury in the video below is graphic in nature and not for the faint of heart.]

Actress Busy Philipps is a big fan of natural childbirth.
After delivering her daughter Birdie – all 9lbs 7oz of her – in 2008 with no medication, she recalls, "I felt like I could do anything in the world; there was nothing in this world that you could present before me that I could not conquer."
But the Cougar Town star has a message for all the expectant moms out there: "It was an incredible experience. I also want other women to know it's possible to have a crazy, spiritual, amazing birth in a hospital. I was in a hospital. I had a doctor."
Describing the birth, Busy says, "I don't know what I thought was going to happen beforehand, but I was completely squatting and after my doctor got [Birdie's] head and shoulders out she asked, 'Do you want to pull your baby out? Give me your hands.' I didn't even know my midwife took this picture of me with my hands pulling my daughter out and then right onto my chest. It's hard talking about it because it sounds like I'm taking away from how sacred it was."
Hooray, Busy! Having had two amazing, natural, hospital births myself, I sometimes feel like delivering in a hospital gets a bad rap. It's nice to hear such a positive, empowering story!
Did you have a hospital birth or a home birth?

A "crazy, spiritual, amazing" hospital birth

11 Responses to A "crazy, spiritual, amazing" hospital birth
I had a hospital birth but they totally let me call the shots (for the most part. I was being induced due to being way past my due date, so they gave me a lot of choices within reason). My doctor even asked me if I would rather him tell me what to do (how to breathe, when to push, when to rest, etc) or if I'd be more comfortable listening to my body and doing what I thought was best. I chose the latter and it was amazing.
I had a hospital birth and ended up with a lot of interventions and eventually a c-section because I didn't know better. This time I'm planning a home birth with a midwife. As one of the midwives in my ICAN group said, it's possible to have a VBAC anywhere, but your chances are better at home. I do know several women who have had very empowering natural unmedicated hospital births and it's encouraging to me every time I hear their stories!
That's awesome that she was able to have the hospital birth she wanted!
Hospital births are the norm in this country and do not get a bad rap anymore than homebirth does. Look all over babycenter. There are facts on both sides and unfortunately there are lots of people who can't handle that.
I have had 2 hospital births and one homebirth and while my hospital births weren't aweful, they definately lacked what my homebirth provided. I am not saying that this is or will be the case for everyone but it was for me.
Both my births were in a Hospital (although I would have LOVED to do a homebirth) and they went REALLY well and exactly according to my (rather extensive) birth plan…one was completely natural and medication free and the second was a c-section but as I said…completely intervention free until we KNEW after trying hours of natural alternatives that it was truly necessary and even then…I didn't have a drop of meds or anything until I was ON the operating table…it took them less than 90 seconds to push an epidural and the baby was OUT in under 3 minutes…every step of the way they supported, encouraged me (genuinely…not in a way to get me to change my mind but genuine encouragement) and looking back I am thrilled with how everything went BOTH times!
I am fiercely protective of a Mother's right to labor AND birth at home…and I am also a firm believer that if you do your research, educate yourself, PREPARE yourself and pick a doctor that is genuinely on board with your choices because it's how THEY FEEL TOO…then you CAN have an amazing hospital birth experience!! The hospital in general can get a bad reputation but it really depends on YOUR hospital and how you prepare yourself and arm yourself with information and a great team…people in hospitals really do WANT to help…we just need to let them know HOW they can help us best
I had two hospital births. The first one was a little more like the hospital birth that gets a bad rap. There were doctors and nurses everywhere, harsh lights, lots of interventions, just overall not an ideal experience. My second hospital birth was a different hospital with a different doctor and I couldn't have asked for it to be any better. It was very relaxed, my doctor was awesome, when it came time there were two nurses in the delivery room, one for me and one for the baby in case we needed them, but they were great, they were right there if we needed them and great at offering encouragement, but not obtrusive in any way, then it was my husband and I, and my doctor just kind of sat at the foot of the bed and helped guide my son out. It was a really great experience and I'd do it exactly like that again in a heartbeat!
My first birth was in a hospital and was a natural water birth. It was wonderful, but I knew there was something more it could be. My second and third were home water births, and that is definitely my preference. But, I agree, if you do your research and really interview the doctor and hospital on their ideas of birth and policies, you can have a great hospital birth, too.
I had two hospital births with an amazing, supportive OBGYN and team of nurses. I was encouraged to labor at home as long as possible, stay mobile the entire time (using a birthing ball made a huge difference), with only intermittent monitoring and a heplock instead of being tethered to an IV. Both times I decided against an epidural (although I did get a little stadol during transition), and everyone was completely supportive. I never felt pressured in any way.
With my first, even when a nurse offered to help me up onto the delivery bed for pushing, and I flat out refused (for whatever reason, lying down seemed physically impossible to me), I remember my OB saying, "She doesn't need to. Go get the birthing stool." So I delivered her squatting. With my second birth, I wanted to lie on my side and then sit up to push – but it was my choice. My sister, who delivered at a different hospital, was more or less coerced into lying down the entire time. No wonder she got an epidural!
I think hospital deliveries get a bad rap, and often for good reason – but it's important to remember that you can have a great hospital birth as long as you and your provider are on the same page.
I had a hospital birth and wouldn't consider otherwise, and it was pretty good! I walked as much as I could, and I knew I wanted an epidural. I guess I would have liked to wait a little longer for the epidural so i could walk some more (though after they broke my water I would've left quite a trail!), but the anesthesiologist was there and they said I should probably get him while I could, since it was getting busy. I had an awesome nurse who rarely left my side, and my doc was all business, but made me feel like she was extremely competent. My daughter came after 2.5 hours of pushing, because I just couldn't get her over my pelvic bone with the way her head was facing (stubborn thing even then!!). But she did make it out, and her shoulder got stuck, and my doc didn't make a huge fuss out of it- she was very calm and everyone did what they had to do (including LAYING on my belly!) to get her out safely. I felt like I was in great hands, which made it a great birth.
Homebirth never even occured to me. In the end, I guess it was a good thing that I was in a hospital since I ended up with a c-section. Still, I would describe that experience as being one of the most incredible of my life–yes, amazing, spiritual, perfect. It wasn't what I wanted or expected, but a great experience never the less. I've always felt I am capable of doing anything.
I had two crazy, spiritual, amazing births. And I had an epidural both times. and they were both in a hospital.
What a great birth story! It's wonderful to hear that it's totally possible to have a natural birth in a hospital, with the mom calling all the shots – squatting and even catching her own baby!

Regarding your comment about churches and other Christian organizations accepting a 501(c)3…. I have been beating that drum for years but nobody listens. Once you accept a 501(c)3 the only way to get out of it is to dissolve your church or organization. If you try to end the the 501(c)3 status but remain in existence they can come after you for back taxes.
On another note, I am in the process of doing lectures on Gay Theology and currently have 7 posted on YouTube with plans to do about 30 or so. The transcripts for the lectures with the foot notes are on my blog.

Challenging times indeed…lines are clearly being drawn.
my question, what do u recomnend for those of us in church planting etc? If we do not seek 501c3, would these young churches then come under a heavy financial tax burden?
The 501c3 has always been a setup by Satan. Satan's plans are a lot far reaching than ours and are planned hundreds and sometimes thousands of years in advance. The "separation of church & state" is theoretical and not actual but an illusion. The Antichrist will absorb the false church into the state and make himself the center of both as one.
The Mafia & drug dealers hand out turkeys on Thanksgiving, open soup kitchens on Christmas, pay residents rent where they do business, and take pictures with politicians to promote themselves as "good guys" to win community support and continue their crimes. In like manner the government gives faith based funds and 501c3′s with their own agenda.
