The Georgia Department of Transportation has issued an encroachment permit for Newton County to begin improvements to Airport Road and Ga. Highway 142, according to County Engineer Tom Garrett. Work is expected to begin Monday, weather permitting.
Improvements are needed to accommodate school buses and additional traffic that will be generated when the new Flint Hill Elementary School opens Aug. 4.
"The existing skew of the intersection will be improved, the aprons will be widened to allow easier turns for the buses, and a right turn lane for drivers turning south from Airport Road onto (Hwy.) 142 will be installed," Garrett said.
Officials have been rushing to get a permit approved so that improvements can be completed by the start of school.
"We feel certain that the work can be completed before school starts in August. However, work may continue into the week of July 25, which is when teachers return to school," Garrett said.
The road will remain open but there may be temporary lane closures during construction, and Garrett said it may be more convenient for motorists to access Airport Road from Ga. Highway 81 north of Oxford until the project is complete.
"Creating a safe environment for drivers is the highest priority for both the county and GDOT. We feel that we now have a plan that will improve the safety of drivers in this area. We owe thanks to both GDOT and the Board of Education for doing their part to expedite this process to make the interim improvements before school starts," Garrett said.
Commissioners recently approved an allocation of $25,000 in SPLOST funds to fund this initial phase of improvements. Chairman Kathy Morgan previously said she expects the cost to come in at between $12,000 and $15,000.
"At the time those figures were given, we did not have an approved plan and permit from GDOT, so we were allowing some contingency in case GDOT had additional or unexpected requirements," Garrett said of why $25,000 was allocated. He added that the final cost is not yet known.
Improvements to the road will be made in four phases. The second phase is expected to begin later in the year and will include a full widening and realignment of the Airport Road/ Ga. Highway 142 intersection and will begin later in the year, to be completed by early 2012. The third phase will be the widening and rehabilitation of Airport Road, which will require the road to be closed, to begin during summer break 2012. The final phase will be improvements and addition of turn lanes to Airport Road and Ga. Highway 81, to be completed in 2014 or 2015.
Newton County is responsible for road improvements, but the school system is providing a 15-foot easement for road widening and will consider an additional easement if necessary for access to Ga. Highway 142, according to Morgan.
In other news, plans for the realignment and signalization of Ga. Highway 81/Crowell Road will be submitted next week by the county's consultant to GDOT for their review, Garrett said.
"We anticipate having the GDOT permit and to begin purchasing right-of-way by fall of this year," he said.

Critical Essay by Gary L. Fisketjon
Stomping Thomas McGuane is as rewarding to some critics as ranking him with all sorts of Famous Writers is to others. His earlier novels, The Sporting Club, The Bushwhacked Piano, and Ninety-Two in the Shade, lent themselves to this double-barrel treatment—and are regarded as annoyingly adolescent (mediocre Hemingway high on macho and drugs) or hilariously brilliant (superbly crafted with a strange new style). McGuane may be bound for glory, but it remains uncertain whether his final destination is the reform school or the literary tradition.
In truth, those novels are hilarious, often brilliant, and positively adolescent—a state preferable to the solemnity that usually weighs down such tales of young men trying, after a fashion, to become grown men. Indeed, the serious business in those books grew out of and was made palatable by the...

I am wondering how to cope with my very high need baby without going mad and being able to care for my two others as well... at the moment life is hell, this baby is crying or breastfeeding or I need to hold her in my arm (but not in a sling or carrier!)
she is having catnaps in a carrier, but it´s a major project to get her to sleep. If she is awake she does not like to be in a carrier or lying down. She does not "play" with herself at all.
I physically cannot care for her, I feel that I am starting to get depressed and I withdraw from her because I cannot stop the crying, it´s like CIO in a carrier. At least she is with me - I guess, but than, I kind of ignore her and try to block her crying. Which is not nice.
But I cannot just sit and breastfeed her! I need to cook and clean and look after the other two. I am exhausted and crying a lot and in general not a good mom at.all.
I feel like going to work again, at least I´d have a bit of quiet there!
Any tips?

How old is your baby? Have you tried an elimination diet?
She is 4 month old, i always thought about elimination diets but i did loose a lot of weight already and our ped advised against it.
she was content in a carrier and did not cry an awful lot but now she does not like it too much anymore. she is happy watching her sibs while on my arm - i just cannot hold her in this position too long.

Maybe reflux (silent?) My DD was similar until I reduced the acid levels of the breast milk (with salts, minerals, & baking soda), and ate fresh
garlic throughout the day and found a chiropractor who adjusted her neck. Only then did she start to feel better. I only wish I had figured it out sooner.
Also, herbal teas with a pinch of powdered ginger and aluminum free baking soda, with nursing soothed her immensely.
I remember how detached and helpless I felt, not being able to settle her.
Healing to you both!
My 1st and 4th children were/are really fussy/high needs. The last one is 8 months now, he still cries a far amount but much less then he used to. It got better at 5 months.

I would definitely try eliminating dairy and soy. There are plenty of other things you can eat to keep your weight up. I was free of dairy and soy for over 6 months and didn't lose an ounce, LOL.
The elimination can't hurt, and it might definitely help. Try cutting out all forms of dairy and soy (including hidden ingredients like casein and whey) for at least 2 weeks. If it doesn't help at all, then at least you'll know that you tried. I can't imagine why a pediatrician would advise against it when baby is so uncomfortable. These sensitivities are very common.
i am going to give it a go. but i honestly don't think it's a food problem. i'll try anyway.

Back then, the baby swing was my life saver- I could put dd init and she would cry a bit more then fall asleep. I made a point to nurse her before I put her in it- but it soothed her when I coukdn't.
Do you have a sling you can wear and nurse her in? My babies were happier in a carrier once they found they could nurse in it. With my 3rd that was essential. I liked the baby k'tan carrier with her, because she could be more upright, tummy to tummy and still nurse while I did other things.
Do take some time for yourself- hand the kids over and go for a walk, or a bubble bath, or go shopping all alone (one of my favorite things now that I have 3 kids is just going to the grocery store all alone.)
Tips for cutting out dairy:
Find another milk to use on cereal- we like vanilla or chocolate almond milk
Get another unsweetened milk to use for cooking
Make a list of all the meals you like that don't have dairy, or are easy to leave it out of- steak and potatoes, soups, salads, etc.
Consider taking a multivitamin for yourself, while you are changing your diet, it can be hard to get everything you need
I found wheat was a much bigger problem for my dd, so if dairy doesn't make a difference, there may be other foods to consider. If you cut out wheat, the celiac websites have tons of recipes, etc.
thanks for all the replies,
i cannot really carry and nurse, i have a couple of sensory issues and hate carrying and nursing at the same time, but i certainly give it another go!
never seen the k'tan before, looks nice (but i already have ergo, manduca, beco (don#t like), moby wrap, didy wrap (2-3), didy slings kanga...but then if it would be easier to nurse in them ...

This is a great place to start:
It's challenging at first, but once you get used to what you CAN eat, it's really not difficult. I made Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners dairy-free and soy-free one year and no one could tell the difference.
I wanted to add.....nothing wrong with "checking out" while holding a crying baby. Do what you need to do to get through it and not go mad.
Mom to my little super hero (02/06) and our super hero-in-training (11/11).
I'm so sorry -- I know how extremely stressful it can be!
Another vote here for an elimination diet. A lot of pediatricians are of the opinion that if the baby's gaining weight ok, then things are fine. But I disagree. If my baby is miserable, I want to try to fix the problem! We got tremendous relief (for the baby and for me!) from following the elimination diet on Dr. Sears' website:
My daughter turned out to have a sensitivity to eggs and foods high in tannins (walnuts, chocolate, red wine, tea, etc.). I wish I didn't have to avoid those things, but it is SOOOOO much better than having a colicky baby! Good luck, and I hope you are able to get some relief soon!
Another vote for an elimination diet that starts w/ dairy & possibly soy & gluten. But, I'd probably start w/ dairy since it is so well known as a problem. It will be tough in the beginning (dairy & gluten have components that act like drugs in the brain :-(), but you can do it. I'd suggest not following, at least for now, an extreme elimination diet because of the possiblity of your child having an issue w/ one of those foods, the fact that these diets often recommend processed foods (I believe Sears' diet rec's rice milk, etc.), because it's quite a challenge if you're used to eating the standarad american diet (SAD) and more.
Foodlab is a yahoo group w/ lots of mamas who will support you w/ breastfeding & finding all the places allergens linger. They will also help you come up w/ ideas of what to eat, if you need that.
Your ped is only w/ your child for minutes. You are w/ her 24/7. Your baby needs youto help you both. Colic is not normal for babies. You can do something to change this!
My oldest was a high needs/fussy baby. When I discovered at 18 months that she had issues w/ dairy, she started sleeping better. It was like a switch was turned on. I wish I'd had someone suggest it was a possible issue before I figured it out on my own.
Lastly, can you go to an LLL meeting? They are a good place to find IRL support when you're so stressed. Your older children would likely be able to join you.
Best wishes,
So sorry you're going through this!
I had very similar issues w/my baby. I begged his doctor for help, to no avail. She just said that some babies fuss more. Not helpful. Tried elimination diets, no luck.
Finally, I got him on probiotics for infants. For us, this was the GAME CHANGER. I gave him his first dose one evening, and then the next day, there was a noticeable improvement in his disposition. Things got better very quickly. He still fussed some, sure, but he never again went purple face scream on me. That was the last of that. And I could actually put him down for a few minutes at a time.
I highly recommend giving probiotics a go!
"The Mothers are the brave ones." - Call the Midwife
My first was high needs and turned out to have food intolerances - mainly dairy (which caused restlessness and digestive discomfort) and soy and wheat, which caused mild eczema. My ped also said he was just a fussy baby and dismissed it because he was HUGE and gained like crazy. However, he started having blood in his stools between 5-6 mos of age and then I made an appt with an allergist. He was SO much calmer and happier once I changed my diet. He wasn't an amazing sleeper still but generally so much more content, FAR less crying. Wakeups went from 10-15 per night to maybe 4-6, plus we started cosleeping at that point. Some of it for him was also his personality. He is now 6 yrs old and shows very strong likes/dislikes and is very specific/critical.
My current (third) baby is middle of the road, not the best sleeper either but happy generally. I'm not doing dairy this time either as he showed clear signs of intolerance when I have done a few dairy challenges. Anyway, he takes a long time to fall asleep (in the bed). I also dislike having him nap in the carrier and especially nursing while babywearing. I don't want him to demand to nurse every time I put him in the carrier which is what my first did after I started nursing him in the sling. So anyway I do structure our day in a way that allows me to stay in our room with him while he falls asleep and then slip out.- my daughter gets a bit of TV time while I am doing this and then when the baby is asleep we transition to doing something else together. When I first started having him fall asleep in the bed (via side lying nursing) around 3 mos, he wouldn't stay asleep for more than 5-10 minutes usually but I have stuck with it and now he does MUCH better and gets good rest this way. Another thing I do is run the vacuum with him in the carrier at nap time and he'll fall asleep that way, then I can transfer him to the bed usually with just a minute or two of nursing when I lay him down.
I wonder how much Donna Gates knows about breastfeeding, though. I know that sauerkraut & it's juice, in very small amounts, gives my very sensitive 2.5yo diarrhea. I'm all for probiotic foods however, for an infant, starting w/ a probiotic that you have an idea of the strength of and you can control the ingredients, would be the safer way to go IMO. I know that WAP & GAPS folks are for giving the littles this stuff, but again, I think probiotics can be controlled more & therefor are a safer choice.
Best wishes,
My 1st was high needs. Each day was a struggle and I only had him at that point. The Dr.Sears book...The High Need Child (or something close to that) helped so much to just understand him.
hugs...it's tough.
Living happily on a little island in the sun
I very carefully adjusted him and I heard a crack. He had a great day. I adjusted him before bed and he had a great night. Long story short, I adjust him several times a day (always when he's calm; when he's crying he tenses up and I can't adjust him). It was truly a miracle for me. And I'm not a "miracle cure" believer. He loves carriers now, he still needs a quick adjustment when he gets out of the carseat and those baby bouncer or vibrating seats are just awful (anything I lay him in where his back is arched causes problems). He was in a lot of pain--I know that now. And I can tell now when his back has popped out again by his cry (bc I heard that cry for three straight months before I learned how to fix it).
It may not be your baby's problem--I only know my own story--but it can't hurt (assuming you're super gentle) and if it works, the change is not gradual, it's dramatic. Good luck!!!! I have my fingers crossed that this will work for you like it did me. If it does, pass it on to other moms!!!
High needs is tough - especially with the super mama juggling act you've got!
Just wondering - does your baby have any other symptoms of food allergies? Gas/diarrhea/funny colored poop/rashes?
Right around your babe's age, my guy started crying alot when he needed help falling asleep for naps (unlike all my friends' babies, who just kinda passed out whenever, wherever). It took me a while to figure that one out. He still needs me available for co-sleeping through his naps and for nursing during them. I try to use this time to get things done on the computer (like, um, now ).
I only have one HN kiddo, but here are things that helped when he was small:
- nursing in carrier (we started in sling, but then switched to Ergo - I was surprised to find it was MUCH easier to nurse [just adjust straps until they are boob height], and the sleep hood provides perfect cover in public - I've nursed him while cleaning, socializing, eating - even giving a talk in front of our whole church! No one was the wiser...)
- vacuuming with babe in carrier (get something done AND soothe a baby to sleep - yaaay!)
- dancing and singing with babe in carrier (this is a serious stand by to this day - that and walking fast while singing - I would do this for 5-30 min. or more some days, but it worked great! Maybe get your other kids in the act, doing a special quiet sleep dance for the baby?)
- taking the baby outside in carrier (either on a walk or often, WHILE dancing and singing like a crazy person, as above - taking the baby outside was always close to my last resort if the above weren't working on their own - if he was taking it to the next level, so did I!)
- holding him and letting him cry it out (HN kids get easily overwhelmed, especially around lots of noise/chaos/people - studies show we release cortisol in our tears, so crying is literally stress reducing - sometimes they just need you to be calm and be there for 'em)
- putting him in carseat and nursing him while someone else drives (not the safest option for you, but one that worked for me!)
- feeding on demand and co-sleeping
- narration (respectfully letting him know what I was going to do, whether picking him up, changing his diaper, putting him in the car, or letting him know when I was leaving the room for a second - and coming back quickly!)
- being aware of busy days and planning stay-at-home down time (you could journal this or just make a mental note of the situations that seem to stress your kid out and lead to evening melt-downs)
Above all else, what really helped me was a serious mind shift. I had to SERIOUSLY adjust my expectations for what I could get done while being a good mom to him. We tend to do it the other way around ("I have X, Y, Z that I HAVE to do today, and this baby needs to get with the program!").
You only have 100%, and this kid needs more of it - you gotta respect that. Something's gotta give, so that both of you can stay sane and everyone can get what they need. Learning to shuffle and let go of other duties is really hard, but necessary. Recruit help with the housework, let the house be messy, order pizza for dinner, find someone to babysit the older kids for a couple hours, do whatever you have to do - no shame in this game.
You are a great mom, and you will get through this! You haven't gotten this far without a lil flexibility and creativity - your kiddo is just upping the ante and taking it to the next level.
Good luck, mama!!!

PPs already gave great advice, I just wanted to add one thing... having a high needs baby crying in your loving arms, or snug up against your body, is NOT Cry-it-Out! I know it's so hard to hear the crying and stay positive, but some babies just cry a lot. My 7 1/2 month old is still pretty intense, but was crying constantly up to about 4-5 months. It's tough and it feels lonely, but so many of us have been there.

thanks for all the replies and tips!
i'll go dairy free from next monday, since we are going to a family gathreing at eastern i would not be able to stay dairy-free over the holidays.
i tried to nurse her in the sling and it works out okay.
i let my dd play with little sister in the afternoons and they both have a lot of fun I try to let her play with her toys but she is so not interested.
Keep the tips coming!

Hugs to you! Been there. It does change. I don't have time to read other replies right now, so I'll apologize in advance if I'm repetitive.
My fall-back with DD was vacuuming while she was in sling/moby nursing. She would almost always fall asleep that way, and then I could remove nipple, get her in a comfortable position for me (so I could use both hands), and rock on with my day. I couldn't put her down, but she wasn't crying, so I was happy. We also have an office chair that is on wheels, and sitting in that with her upright while bouncing (fairly aggressively) helped tremendously, and sometimes got her to sleep.
DS (now 8 1/2 months) started out mellow, then became super-high needs. I cut out dairy, and it was so hard to see if it made a difference. What absolutely was a fix was block-feeding for over-supply. Cut out the colic and screaming in maybe 3-4 days. I stayed dairy free for about 4 months, just to be on the safe side, but then about 2 weeks ago, tried him with whole fat yogurt, and he did FINE(stinker!) so the dairy went back in my diet, and we've had no issues. It's possible he outgrew it, but also possible that it wasn't an issue at all. I do think eggs is for him. He's reacted each time I've tried egg yolk.
Just read you don't like nursing in carrier, sorry. What about a back carry? DS would fall asleep on my back even when he was super fussy. The vacuum made it quicker and easier. He would fuss for a few minutes first, and I would just walk fast, and he'd fall asleep. Again, when he was super fussy, couldn't put him down, but he was calm and sleeping, and I could get a few chores done.
If this has just started or gotten worse, teething? My LO's all have had their first tooth by 4 months old.
The only other tip I have is to lower your standards for a while, give yourself a bit of a break. When DS was in that stage, I set myself two tasks for the day: 1: get us all fed somehow and 2: get out of the house. Anything else was bonus. This will pass. Call in any favors you can for doing chores. Get out of the house regularly. I would go for long walks outside with DD screaming in the moby. Somehow it was easier to deal with in the fresh air. I didn't get that claustrophobic feeling of being stuck in a little room with a screaming baby. Again, it does pass. DD is 3 now, and extremely articulate and compassionate.
I would second a chiropractor. It may only take a few adjustments (not daily). I've heard stories from my friends IRL about how a chiro "fixed" their high needs baby with one adjustment. DD1 was super high needs, and I wish that I had known to try it. I did do the eliminations diet, and trust me, it's much easier to take her to a chiro a few times to see if it works before you commit yourself to the diet.
I went through this with DS #1 and am currently experiencing it with DS #2 (why do I make these incredibly fussy high needs babies? GAH). It was hell. HELL. I really could not do anything to make DS #1 happy. He did better being upright and having constant movement, but even that wasn't a given and I needed to change his position every minute or so or he would WAIL. I dreaded going out in public (because of the meltdowns) and just all around had a really hard time coping (if you do an archive search you will find a post I wrote in 2007 about my baby hates being awake). Around 8 weeks I started wearing him forward facing in a mei tai and that helped some (he hated tummy to tummy and snuggle carries and would scream and fuss and straighten his legs trying to get out. Not pretty). But really, what helped the most was when he hit 5.5 months and learned how to crawl. Once he was independently mobile, he was a brand new baby. He was actually kinda fun! I am really hoping that life turns around for you soon.
I will say that he probably did have reflux, but we didn't medicate it (ped doesn't believe in reflux meds for the wee babes) and he did end up having food allergies (tested positive for cows milk, eggs, and sesame when he was just under 2 years old with skin test). I had sort of eliminated dairy from my diet, but not completely because, well, I love it. Just wanted to put that out their to let you know that DESPITE the reflux and the food allergies, we made it through. You will too. I do know how hard this is and recognize that it makes it hard to bond. That being said, I totally fell in love with my kid once he hit 5 months and we are a well bonded pair still today, 4 years later. Many hugs to you.
There is a chemical reason why you love dairy (it happens w/ gluten too!). I've been a part of a yahoo group of parents of children (and the parents & individuals themselves) w/ food allergies/sensitivities/intolerances for many years; we've been eliminating foods for 8.5 years. Not being able to stop a food because you love it is a classic sign of an issue w/ that food. The group is foodlab; maybe you'll check it out ;-).
Best wishes,

The Pars had only just taken the lead through a first-minute Jim Hamilton header at East End Park when 21-year-old Murdoch replaced the injured Roddy McKenzie - and he coped well before allowing a harmless long ball to bounce over his grasp and watched in horror as Jonas Henriksson nodded into an empty net in the 57th minute.
Kenny, whose side held on for a 1-1 draw, said: "He responded in the right way because after the goal went in normally you are worried about a keeper, will his nerves get the better of him? But he made two very good saves. I was pleased he showed a degree of mental strength."

While next week's Electronic Entertainment Expo 2009 is set to give gamers a peek at the biggest releases of holiday 2009 and beyond, they might need something to tide them over in the meantime. To that end, Sony today announced the latest additions to its PlayStation 3 budget-conscious line of Greatest Hits titles, games from years past that have "reached a significant sales threshold," according to the company.
Sony is adding six games to its line of $29.99 Greatest Hits: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Battlefield: Bad Company, Army of Two, Devil May Cry 4, and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Those titles are still available in their standard releases, but the Greatest Hits-branded versions will begin to arrive in stores June 16.
This is the second batch of PS3 titles to be dubbed Greatest Hits, bringing the catalog of budget blockbusters up to 16 games. Sony revealed the first wave--including titles like The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, and Resistance: Fall of Man--at its 2008 E3 media briefing. They were easy to spot on store shelves because the Greatest Hits editions came in eye-catching red-tinted Blu-ray cases.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed BCCI to have access to audio transcripts of the contentious statements made by Indian captain MS Dhoni and ousted BCCI chief N Srinivasan before the IPL probe panel, but bound them with confidentiality of the transcripts too.
A bench of Justices AK Patnaik and FMI Kalifulla allowed a plea by the BCCI to direct the Justice Mudgal panel to hand over the necessary tapes and transcripts to them so that they could argue the case effectively. It asked the probe committee to provide audio recordings to the Supreme Court's Secretary General, who will make arrangements for BCCI and Srinivasan's counsel to hear the tapes in the apex court.\
The court asked the Board and Srinivasan to maintain complete confidentiality of the contents of the audio tapes and not to leak it to anybody. "Any content of the audio recordings going out means cricket would be blackened in the country," it said. The audio recordings will be heard in the presence of the Secretary General by advocate Amit Sibal on behalf of Srinivasan and advocate Rohini Musa on behalf of the Board.
Earlier, BCCI counsel had told the bench that they required to ascertain the panel's indictment of attempted cover-up by Dhoni, Srinivasan and IPL Chief Operating Officer Sundar Raman to protect Srinivasan's son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan in the IPL betting scandal. He informed the court that Dhoni and Srinivasan had refuted having made any statement to the panel relating to Meiyappan's role.
The bench had then sought the panel's response on the availability of the audio tapes and its views whether these could be handed over to the BCCI.
On Tuesday, senior advocate Gopal Subramaniam appeared for the panel and confirmed availability of the tapes. He said the recorded conversations spanned from November 5, 2013 to January 6, 2014 and these could be made available in a pen drive.
Subramaniam also disclosed that the panel stopped audio-recording after January 6 since it apprehended leaking out of the tapes to outsiders. He also pleaded the court to maintain confidentiality, pointing out that some of the very important cricketers had recorded their statements on an assurance of maintaining secrecy.
The bench assured Subramaniam of confidentiality and asked the panel to submit the pen drive to the SC Secretary General. Commenting on the issue of conflict of interest by former CBI Director RK Raghavan, who is one of the three members of the proposed panel by the BCCI, Subramanim told the bench that Raghavan, "like a gentleman," had expressed his reservations on speaking about Srinivasan.

"Veiled Love", or "Hijab el Hob", tells the story of a young Moroccan woman who chooses to have sex before marriage.
Film maker Aziz Salamy introduces us to Batoul, a young, well brought-up woman, who with her boyfriend, decides to embark on a sexual relationship which is both enflamed and marred by their not being married. A relatively harmless story, even in Morocco, but made shocking by the fact that the young woman wears a hijab... Especially as the director chooses to show the couple kissing and taking a bath together. Our Observer explains why some Moroccans consider the film an attack on Islam.
Does the story shock you? Tell us what you think. The best comments will be translated into French and read as part of Saturday's RFI radio show "Atelier des medias", to which The Observers contributes.
The film came out at the end of January and has just been showcased at the Belgian Mons International Love Film Festival. The blurb: "Batoul, 28, is a girl with a happy family life and a budding career in medicine. The day she meets Hamza, she finds herself breaking all the rules she once preached, to live a passionate love with the man who obsesses her..." (source).
Abdelhalim Talhaoui, 28, is a journalism student in Casablanca. He alerted us to this story.
Everyone knows that the narrative of the film is quite credible. But I think the director should have treated the subject with a little more tact to avoid shocking the country. He wanted it to be talked about, and it worked."
Is not correct to say that woman who has premarital sex is a prostitute. It doesnt make any sense. The film song is very well produced. Congratulations for all the film makers. Kisses! Paula.
Welcome to the "one world" utopia that the politicians are pushing down your throat!!!
Guys !
It's interesting reading about all our different cultures/traditions/values/norms. Guess globalization is touching everyone alive.Perhaps that's the trick/formula they've used to access our backyards and therefore, no where else to hide our fannies. During the St. Valentine's week, I read something from this same news medium about Indian women sending pink underwares before some wild/ruthless guys or group that goes about beating and harassing females up in bars. Then came JASAD from Lebanon and now "Veiled Love" which is raising lots of dust for absolutely nothing. Hopefully, one of these days, we'll learn the truth. Remember this one thing, "If time is the healer, the truth comes a real close second". Time will tell folks, don't go on cuddling a stool/bench whereas Mom is pregnant - wasted energy. Just hang in there and wait for the baby to be delivered so you can carry the baby for as long as you can - don't you think? Are you lost or what?
Regardless of the intentions or goal of the producer...I think that this is a film worth producing to bring up an interesting topic "maybe still under the taboo category" I don't believe that the producer is talking about something that does NOT exisit. Being a Moroccan well travelled and well knowledgeable about Morocco and Moroccans..., it is very hypocritical to start preaching great values and principals while in reality very few may practice them. Worse than that, to start an attempt of criticism trying to put a lid on facts within our own society is insane in itself. So what if we become true to ourselves???? This has NOTHING to do with the religion "Islam" it has to do with people who (in this case) happen to claim to be followers of this respectful faith. Our FAITH is one thing and our DEEDS is something else.
Religion in general is a set of great values, principals and teachings...(in addition to the nature of the creed or who/how you worship) BUT followers (or so called followers) of a certain religion is totally something else. Enough of being hypocriticals to ourselves first before to the others. There is a LOT of SHIT that is happening in our country that is very far from the values we preach on to others. But untill we become honest with ourselves and start understanding our realities and our inner selves....we have no right to defend or protest against facts. The last and most important thing I want to say is: Be a great role model and shut the....up, let your deeds speak for you and NO need to preach. Just BE, and let people BE. Chacun pour soi et Dieu pour tous !
A bold talker and a straightshooter Moroccan!
If it's not too much to ask, what is the man who has sex with the woman called?
Wasn't there a case just a short while ago where a woman was raped, and SHE was executed.
So it's OK for the guy or for a rapist to get up to naughties, but the woman, even when a victim of abuse, is in a NO NO situation every time.
Look at the little logo on the side of my blog: BS free zone: and that is pure unadulterated taurean doo-doos, with a large helping of hypocrisy throw in for good measure.
@David: Yes the title is directed at you!
You said: "If it's not too much to ask, what is the man who has sex with the woman called?
Wasn't there a case just a short while ago where a woman was raped, and SHE was executed."
Where was this woman that you talk of? Are we talking about Morocco still?
By the way, a woman who has sex before marriage is not called a prostitute in Morocco. Maybe a whore, the Moroccan word is "Qahba". It is a derogatory term just like "Salgout" which is what you would call a guy engaging in the same type of practices.
I haven't seen the movie, but from I've gathered the producer did intend for it to be controversial. For some reason, Muslims do not have the right to get upset, they are not allowed to feel hurt according to some.
If this were a movie about a nun, a Mormon... or any other girl whose clothes are a clear indication of her religious affiliation, the respective followers of that religion would get all bent out of shape.
What bothers me the most is that the people that brag about how they are "open minded" fail to understand that different religions and cultures are entitled to their own ideas and principles. Instead, these self proclaimed open minded and modern people go off spewing hate speech.
Who cares? Its a movie - not reality. It might totally wind you up, but it is still a movie made with actors and directors etc.. Don't let it get to you.
The movie could be based on true facts for all I care. What bugs is that the MAJORITY of the people in this country (U.S.) that I have come to love and care about...are so hatefully ignorant. They seem to have chosen not to educate themselves on the facts. Instead, they continue feeding their hateful and egocentric nature.
The guy jumped directly to citing an instance where a woman was executed after she was raped. If my memory serves me right; Morocco's last execution was around '93-'94. How's is that for being a country in "the middle east"?
Going back to the movie, I think it's OK for the producer to have taken that route. It is EQUALLY fine for some people to be offended by it. What I don't accept is DENYING somebody the right to FEEL offended.
I dont know much about Morocco or that part of Africa. I also dont understand some of the punishments women face for crimes they are not responsible for. But there was a similar situation in which a muslim stepfather raped his teenage daughter. The girl reported the incident and she was sentenced to death by stoning,,,despute the fact that the father went on to admit what he did a few days later to the courts. This happend in Nigeria. The girls life was saved when a pro-feminist Winnie Mandela stepped in and made a lot of noise about injustice to women.
Im not saying muslims are bad (some of them are my best friends) but when you hear stories like this you have to wonder as an oustider.
This movie is probably a critique on the current youth culture of today. Above all it is a movie and it is subject to many interpreattions while it entertains. People really should learn to read between the lines,,,its not that hard.
I wonder how close to reality the Moroccans that are upset about this movie are. Having grown up in Rotterdam in a neighborhood with many Moroccans, I can tell from own experience that the girls of this community nearly all have sex before marriage and that they marry with men from their community or often with men in Morocco. Does this make them all prostitutes? Their are surgeons in Holland that make big money with reconstructive hymen surgery. Go Moroccan girls go, you are among the best!

C orporate culture is the essence of your business. It's not easy to create and it's even more challenging to sustain. Yet business owners often treat their company culture as an afterthought, something that isn't strategized and is instead usually based on a good old "gut feel."
Your culture, however, is one of the key drivers of your business success and it requires prioritization and a deliberate methodology. A well-defined cohesive culture will lend to high-trust teams, unified execution of your business strategy and overall happiness of your team members – none of which you can afford to sacrifice.
Whether you want to create your culture, improve it or need an all-out overhaul, here is an end-to-end approach to owning a winning culture.
1. It all starts with your principles
First, to build the foundation of your culture, you need to define your principles. These principles will be the pillars of your business - from the traits of your team members to the way you engage with your partners. Principles will guide decision-making, help recruit for fit and ultimately shape your company's reputation.
What are your principles? Start with the core, the "DNA" of your company.
- Take an audit. Look at your top performers and your founders. What core traits make all of these leaders great?
- Think about what type of team you really need in order to drive success. Is it critical for your people to have an entrepreneurial spirit, a focus on team growth or be individual drivers?
Remember, all members across the organization should be able to embody these principles. Once defined, ensure your senior leadership team is aligned, committed and excited about building a business where culture is the backbone.
2. Communicate principles with context

Tablets for the Quinoa Project
So, you have some land that's not being used and some Quinoa and Millet seeds, what do you do? You plant them and hope for the best of course. Here at Jhamtse Gatsal Children's Community we learn, then do, hence experiential learning. We have started a 20 week course on Quinoa and Millet planting, growing and harvesting. During this course we use the tablets to research and detail our journey to perfect understanding of what it takes to grow the two nutritious grains (by the way Quinoa is technically a seed or psuedocereal). They are researching a different topic each week regarding the grains. We then have then write a five paragraph essay to show that they understand the topic given. Don't worry – we let them have some fun with the tablets as well, pictures and music are provided as well as time to explore the technology. Please stay tuned for more updates on the journey to technological understanding through educational learning.

Flood projections have been adjusted upward for the Mississippi, thanks to rain in the forecast for the upper Midwest and central Missouri.
About 2 inches of rain fell in Iowa over the weekend and more rain is in the forecast this week. And storms forecast for central Missouri could dump about three inches more of rain into the system, according to the National Weather Service.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers spokesman Mike Petersen said flooding has been minor in the St. Louis region because -- so far -- the Missouri River hasn't contributed to the flooding situation.
"The flooding on the Mississippi River is pretty significant above Grafton," Petersen said. "But there's less potential for flooding on the lower end because there isn't a major amount of water being dumped into the Mississippi from the Missouri River."
But National Weather Service hydrologist Mark Fuchs said the Missouri River could change dramatically this week if as much rain falls as has been predicted.
"You're not going to get major flooding at St. Louis if the Missouri River isn't doing it's part," Fuchs said. "The Missouri is at least half of the equation. And, so far, it hasn't been an issue. But the water level could come up quite a bit. We should know a lot more about what is going to happen over the next 15 hours or so."
Even if it storms in Missouri over the next couple of days, leaders don't expect major flooding in St. Louis.
Petersen said the other things accounting for the lack of flooding on the lower Mississippi from St. Louis to the south are a wider channel than up north that can contain more water and flood control devices that help limit the river's impact.
"We still have lots of room in the river flood control reservoirs in the St. Louis area," Petersen said. "Even when we see major flooding in the area like we did last year, we have much more ability to contain the water than we did back in 1993."
In June 2013 the Mississippi River had the sixth-worst flood recorded on the waterway since 1785 when it topped out at 40.52 feet. The worst flood occurred in 1993 when the river reached 49.58 feet at St. Louis.
The National Weather Service adjusted its forecast at midday Monday, projecting the Mississippi would crest Saturday at 32.1 feet in St. Louis. Minor flood stage in St. Louis is 30 feet while moderate flood stage is 35 feet.
At that stage, Fuchs said, Lenore K. Sullivan Boulevard on the St. Louis riverfront would flood and the water would reach the lower entrance of the Arch parking garage.
As of Monday afternoon, the Mississippi was at 27.16 feet at St. Louis. It is expected to reach 30 feet by Thursday as rainwater from up north finds its way into the river and heads south.
Flooding is expected to be worse to the north of St. Louis.
Minor flood conditions are already have been reached at the Mel Price Lock and Dam near Alton, where the river was at 22.2 feet Monday afternoon. It was expected to crest there at 25.6 feet Friday or Saturday. But, with the new rain water factored in, the Saturday crest is expected to reach 26.3 feet.
Minor flood stage at Alton is 21 feet. Moderate flood stage is 29 feet.
At Grafton, the water was on the brink of minor flood stage Monday afternoon, which is 24 feet. The ferry across the Mississippi River there river there has been closed since the weekend due to high water. The river is expected to crest at 26.9 feet there on Saturday, well into minor flood stage. The major flood stage at Grafton is 29 feet.
The Brussels Ferry was open as of mid-day Monday. But operators said the water level was 6-8 inches from the point where Illinois 100 would close which, effectively, shuts down the ferry because traffic has nowhere to flow to the east.
According to the Illinois Department of Transportation, Illinois 96 north of Hamburg is the only highway that is currently closed due to high river conditions.
At Lock and Dam 24 about 90 miles up the river at Clarksville, Mo., the Mississippi River is already in major flood stage at 33.73 feet and Petersen said the lock is currently closed because of high water.
"We had to close Lock and Dam 24 early Sunday and we're prepared to close Lock and Dam 25 if necessary," Petersen said.
Currently, only one levee, a small agricultural barricade that protects about 1,000 acres of Missouri farm land near Clarksville, Mo., has been over-topped, Petersen said.
Some levees in Missouri that have been undergoing repairs have been covered in plastic to protect them from flood waters and 100,000 sandbags have been delivered to the Clarksville area. But Petersen said no flood barricades are currently in danger of failure.

The Seven Crystal Balls
18 days left
Hergé told the story of how he and Edgar P. Jacobs went to collect sketches and data from a house Jacobs has discovered as the ideal location for the house of Professor Hercules Tarragon in The Seven Crystal Balls. Hergé spent considerable time with his friend writing down everything they needed, thinking that it would not be too difficult to explain to anybody why they were there, and that the house looked abandoned anyhow. But as soon as they had finished sketching and had put away their equipment, several grey cars pulled up in front of the house- it had recently been occupied by a member of the German SS! Had they seen them sketching the house, they would have had a great deal of explaining to do…
I hope to actually see this house in person one day…

Anthony Horowitz to write screenplay for Tintin 2
The world-famous author and screen-writer will be writing the script for Tintin 2! This is absolutely wonderful news for those who are fans of his popular "Alex Rider" series (me included). Anthony Horowitz is a wonderful storyteller and a master at keeping the reader interested. His own stories are full of adventure, and in the case of Alex Rider, also center around the action packed life of a teenager. He is also very experienced and is known for putting tons of research into his work. He focuses on the details,and that's good news for a Tintin fan. Here we have the info straight from the horse's mouth, while speaking on Richard Bacon's radio 5 talk show:
I'm working in Hollywood at the moment, I'm writing a feature film even as we speak. I've been hired to write Tintin…
The Secret of the Unicorn is being directed by Steven Spielberg and was written originally bySteven Moffat, of course the writer of Doctor Who in this country. He did a couple of drafts then it was taken over by Edgar Wright… they've got [that] coming out at Christmas and if that film is a success and works and gets an audience I'm writing the sequel to it, Prisoners of the Sun, which Peter Jackson is going to direct.
So the story of Tintin 2 has officially been chosen. We had heard rumors, especially from Peter, but this had not been confirmed until now.
Although I'll admit that I was really hoping for "The Calculus affair", "Prisoners of the Sun" is a great choice. Just like "Secret of the Unicorn" it is a two-part series, and even among Hergé' s other books it is considered to be a masterpiece. The story revolves around a mysterious "curse" that puts 7 explorers into the hospital after their return from investigating some ruins in Peru and bringing artifacts back, among them an inca mummy. One by one the explorers fall into a strange coma, and then Professor Calculus is kidnapped. Tintin and Haddock try to solve the mystery of the curse from the start, and then set off to save Calculus as well.
The book shows us just how far Tintin and Haddock will go to save a friend. They risk everything as they go through one adventure after another on their quest. In one part their train car is disconnected from the rest of the train and they slide down the mountains with no way of stopping their car. In another,they have to sneak onto a ship that says it is under quarantine with armed men on board. In the jungle they face vicious condors and crocodiles. Then they have to cross over a raging waterfall. And to top it all off, they stumble onto a secret hiding place where it turns out the ancient Incan people are still alive, where the whole gang is condemned to die at the stake, lit by the very power of the sun. It is not hard to see why this adventure was chosen to be adapted to the big screen. And I can't think of a better person for the job to be writing the script than Anthony Horowitz.
For those of you wondering how this will tie in with "Red Rackham's Treasure" being the second movie (or at least the beginning of it), I'm not sure how it will play out. It looks like they will introduce Calculus at the beginning of the movie and then kidnap him almost right afterwards. Just how much of Red Rackham's Treasure, if any, will be in the movie? We will see. All we know is that Calculus HAS to be in Tintin 2,and we do not believe he is in Tintin 1 because he has not been cast. I think they will either tie in Red Rackham's treasure at the very beginning of the film like they are doing with The Crab with the Golden Claws for the first movie, or take Calculus out of the ending of The Secret of The Unicorn-Red Rackham's Treasure for Tintin 1 and have them find the treasure in the basement, then introduce him for Tintin 2 at the start of the film. However they do it, I'm sure they know how much the fans love Calculus and will make sure we have plenty of time to see him in the movie.
Very special thanks to Britto and Pro-man who found this information!!! I really appreciate it! Keep up the excellent work!

Tintin Movie to be Old School
"There will be no cell phones, no TV sets, no modern cars. Just timeless Europe." – Steven Spielberg
Le Monde magazine interviewed Steven Spielberg about his work on Tintin. The interview was presumably done in English and translated to French for publication and I'm translating it back into English via Google so the wording may not be spot on. However, the meaning is clear, the Tintin movie will not be some hideously re-imagining of Tintin. Spielberg goes on to say.
"Peter Jackson and I have the opportunity to honor the art of Hergé, his tone, his palette, his characters." He denies [The translation is garbled here, possibly "to amend the famous Tintin tuft"?] He added: "The body language is very important. There is no question of touching it. We religiously respect the art of Hergé."
From this interview, it certainly sounds like the Tintin movie will stick closely to the classic Tintin look-and-feel though they have previously described it as "film noir". We may have a better idea in the new year as Peter Jackson has previously indicated that the first images of the CGI will be released in January.
Also due in January is an announcement on Peter Jackson's choice of books for his film or films. The Seven Crystal Balls and Prisoners of the Sun are widely tipped as favourites.

The Aeroplanes of Tintin
The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum has released its entire collection of airline posters online. It features some 700 posters from the early days of flying including many from the 1920s and 1930s. Not only are many of them beautiful works of art but these are the posters that Herge would of seen as he started work on Tintin.
Aircraft play a significant role in many of Tintin's adventure and flying was a very glamorous activity up until the 1950s. In these days of budget airlines and three hour check-in queues, it is very easy to forget just how enthralling the idea of flying was to Herge's generation.
One of the problems I had in creating the Travels of a Boy Reporter map was working out how Tintin and Captain Haddock travelled from Belgium to Peru in between The Seven Crystal Balls and Prisoners of the Sun. At the end of book one we see them boarding a flying boat and at the start of Prisoners, they are in Peru. I hunted the web and aircraft forums for information on flying boat routes from Europe to South America but I could not find any. Consequently, I guessed at a route involving flying down to the Cape of Africa and across the South Pacific.
Now, thanks to the Smithsonian, I can update the map with a correct route. The poster above shows routes for Imperial Airlines (the main flying boat operator) in the late thirties and there is a route from Europe via the west coast of Africa to South America. This map also shows a similar route as does this airmail route map. These are the maps Herge would of seen as he planned Tintin's adventures so I can confidently update my map.
Jackson on the Tintin Movies
Peter Jackson was at the San Diego Comic Convention, talking about a lot of things including Tintin.
Jackson's work on Tintin is still in early stages but he insists that the films are being made by people who are true Tintin fans. He also said that the design of the film was intended to be as true to creator Herge's original designs as possible but with added textures. Otherwise, he indicated that they might as well just do a live-action version, which neither he nor Steven Spielberg (who is directing the first film) wanted.

Different blogs have picked up different comment from the event. Chud is reporting:
Jackson said that he was still trying to figure out which book he wanted to adapt, and that he would probably be rereading the entire Tintin series to make his decision.
That said, Jackson mentioned that he was currently leaning towards either The Seven Crystal Balls or Prisoners of the Sun. It's likely that he would actually adapt both, as Prisoners of the Sun is the sequel to The Seven Crystal Balls. The story involves an Incan curse brought on by the discovery of a Peruvian mummy.

As the first film will combine The Crab with the Golden Claws and The Secret of the Unicorn into one story, would Jackson really do anything other than Red Rackham's Treasure? Failing to do so would miss the opportunity to introduce the character of Professor Calculus whose first appearance is in Red Rackham's Treasure. It would also beg the question 'What is the Secret of the Unicorn?' if it is not a map for Tintin & Haddock to follow? Are they going to skip the whole adventure to the Caribbean and have Tintin solve the puzzle whilst imprisoned in Marlinspike's cellar?
However, if Jackson is doing Red Rackham's Treasure he had better get a move on. With multi-part films (Lord of the Rings, for example) the release dates of the films need to be relatively close, no more than a year apart, other audiences will lose interest in the project. With Secret of the Unicorn coming out in late 2011, a release date of summer or late 2012 for the second film is logical. This means the script needs to be written and the cast scheduled for motion capture.
UPDATE: More information and quotes.
As for the second movie, he reveals that production is pencilled in for the second half of 2010, a year before the first one's release. "I've got to get through The Hobbit first, then we'll move onto that. At the moment we're keeping our options open, but I am very partial to The Seven Crystal Balls/ Prisoners Of The Sun. I'm going to read them all again before deciding which to have a go at."
The EW interview quoted above adds some details. The first Tintin film, directed by Steven Spielberg, is currently at the first-cut stage. It will take two years to do all the animation and rendering needed for the final product. (The film has to be edited first because no one wants to pay for expensive rendering on shots that won't end up in the final cut.) Peter drops the remark that he hasn't decided which Tintin books to include in the second film, and that he and Spielberg would like to do a longer series if the first films succeed.

Real Places in Tintin
Herge liked to mix real and fictional geography in his story-telling, sometimes explicitly and sometimes implicitly.
Machu Picchu doesn't appear directly in the books but it can be assumed as the basis for the temple in The Seven Crystal Balls / Prisoners of the Sun. Located high in mountains, in a remote part of Peru, it was the last strong hold of the Incas. A sacred site, one of the main buildings is called the Temple of the Sun. The site was 'discovered' and made famous in 1911 by the American explorer and historian Hiram Bingham.
This facade appears in The Red Sea Shark though you may be more familiar with it from Indian Jones and the Last Crusade. In reality it is in Petra, an ancient city in modern-day Jordan and is one of the true wonders of the world. At its peak, around 200AD, it was a city of over 20,000 people with a sophisticated water management system that allowed the city to thrive in the middle of a desert.
Loch Lomond itself never appears in the books but it is a name familiar to all Tintin fans as Captain Haddocks favourite tipple. It is particularly prominent in The Black Island as Tintin visits Scotand but it crops up regularly in a number of books. There is a real world Loch Lomond Distillery who do tours. So, if you are ever in Scotland, call in, see how they make the whisky and have a wee dram for Captain Haddock.

The VCU Bulletin is in transition! As we move from this first iteration of our online Bulletin to a new product and process, what you find on this website is information for the 2014-15 academic year.
While much of the curricular information remains the same, changes that were approved with the effective date of fall 2015 will not be reflected on this website. Prospective students may wish to contact the school or department that administers their program of interest in order to discuss the most current curriculum and concentration options.
Enrolled students who are completing their studies under an effective Bulletin may continue to access the archives at http://www.pubapps.vcu.edu/Bulletins/archives.aspx, where past Bulletins are available to reference or download.
Our anticipated launch of the new VCU Bulletin is July 2015. To follow our progress, visit the new Bulletin blog.

Mark Perry did it one weight lower...
Mark Perry did it one weight lower...
I tried to cover as many teams & interesting guys as i could. Just so happens that my 1st B10s was also PSU's 1st B10 title. So there was a lot of PSU stuff to cover not that that bothered me or anything.
I have to say that Terry Brands was the only coach who didn't have time for me & then sought me out when he did. He thanked me for the work I was doing. He seemed like a real nice guy. When I couldn't find the Iowa SID, he helped me track down McD.
Barry Davis also thanked me & said hi a few times during the meet.
I should also thank Pat Donghia the PSU SID & his asst Tony M. Also Leah the Asst SID from Michigan & Alison from Wisconsin.
I also I meet Andrew Hipps from intermat & Craig Sesker from USA Wrestling & Blogger Kevin from PennStateclips. All good guys who love wrestling.
It was funny that the first day I wore a black t-shirt which I have a ton of from a job I used to have. A lot of the PSU people thought I was an Iowa guy.They would just sorta give me a look. And the Iowa people would smile. Funny.
The 2nd day I wore a neutral light green shirt which has NO team association so suddenly everyone was nice to me!
It was interesting to note that Before & after the 1st Session coaches & wrestlers were willing to talk. Before the 2nd day....zero. Nope. No time cant do it. Everyone is just LOCKED IN. As you would expect.
Afterwords different story.
Also I was very surprised at how soft spoken some guys are. Matt McDonough for as an intense as a wrestler he is, is pretty laid back & polite, (took off his cap no less). Quentin I thought was going to give a sermon. His interview was as different as they come. Both Trevor & Andrew Howe were appreciative of the Wisconsin staff in helping them overcome injures. All the PSU guys were bottled up enthusiasm waiting to pop.
Anyways now I am really hooked. I did this all on my own dime cuz I love it. If I could figure how to generate some income with it so I could live off it that would be great. I am still handling a body problem so my diet & water requirements are strict &can't handle the TRAVEL food or the food for the press. But dam wouldn't it great if every weekend weren't like this!
And I am not so healthy that I can do STAIRS like that every 10 minutes all day! Holee krap...the press section was basically on the 3rd floor. I think my heart rate was getting up to 80-90 going up & down like that. Andy was getting tired just watching me.
Gonna have to get a cam that uploads direct to the net from the cam AND has a battery made of Uranium (half life 10,000 years). But Fuhr's $99 digital cam did the trick about 95% of time.
Anyways back to editing...
Keep up the great work kr, much appreciated!
