"This is a perfect way to personalize the Baby Wish Cards with your future baby's name, etc. I was also able to include a pic of the sonogram on back and also include a pic of the parents. It's so sweet!"
"We upgraded this invitation to the luminescent paper, it looks so nice! Got many compliments on how cute/adorable the cards are. Totally recommend this item."
"I'm really happy with these invitations as well as the price. The paper quality is excellent-very sturdy paper for both the invitations and envelopes. I chose the pearl white shimmer paper and am generally happy with it; it's a subtle shimmer. Another added bonus is that the back has printed hearts which completes the look. Additionally, I was happy that a free designer reviewed my proof and had a couple of good suggestions. Delivery was super fast. I will definitely use Tiny Prints for future printing needs."
"I love the way the pearl white shimmer paper made the glittler-like print look like it sparkled, as well as the white onsies. The hearts on the back were a GIANT plus. They really make the finished product look fantastic! I couldn't be more pleased with my first purchase and will definitely be coming here for future needs."
"Great quality, I lo r how they worked with me to get everything just right! Definitely affordable I would definitely recommend"

Vice President Joe Biden called Iraq's prime minister Monday to try to smooth over a rough exchange of words between the two governments after the fall of important cities to Islamic State militants in recent days.
Republicans blamed Obama's decision to pull troops out of Iraq after years of war.
"This deal will have my name on it," Obama said, "so nobody has a bigger personal stake in making sure that it delivers on its promise.
Islamic State's takeover of Ramadi gives Congressional hawks reason to criticize Obama's foreign policy decisions.
The takeover appeared to be a major victory for Islamic State, which has withstood a large-scale U.S. bombing campaign and maintains strongholds in Iraq and neighboring Syria.
Libya is now split between two governments, controlled by rival militias, and home to a blossoming Islamic State affiliate.
Assad, the Syrian leader embroiled in sectarian battles and a civil war, addressed the nation on the national holiday of Marty's Day, saying the state and army are still strong.
The U.N. Security Council began closed-door consultations Friday on the conflict in Yemen, where fuel shortages are threatening relief operations as Saudi-led air strikes enter a sixth week.
In a gruesome replay of beheadings of captive Christians, an Islamic State video disseminated on social media Sunday purportedly shows the point-blank shootings and decapitations of two groups of Ethiopian Christians in Libya.
The Republican right accuses every American president who negotiates an arms pact with our putative enemies of weakening national security. And they are always wrong.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday cleared the way for delivery of sophisticated air defense systems to Iran with a decree that U.S. officials warned could disrupt the emerging deal to prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons.
Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that last week's hard-won framework accord was no guarantee of a final nuclear deal and that much work remained.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday renewed his harsh criticism of the preliminary nuclear pact with Iran, declaring it a danger to his country's existence.
As members of the United Nations Security Council leave Lausanne and the chance of a nuclear deal with Iran, the Obama administration frets over what to do before Congress reconvenes.
"Foreign ministers from Iran, the United States, France, Germany, Britain, Russia, and China have struggled with a series of tough issues this week, notably what restrictions will remain on Iran's research and development, and how quickly United Nations sanctions will be lifted."
It's everybody against everybody in the Middle East.
Obama and other officials have called out Netanyahu for his rejection of the two-state solution and a remark made about Israel's Arab citizens that had racial overtones.
Palestinians are predictably displeased with the results of Israel's election.
Jordan has launched new strikes against IS, after vowing 'all-out war' against the terrorists.
The Islamic State has released a video purportedly showing Maaz al-Kassasbeh being burned alive.
Kenji Goto and Haruna Yukawa's fates still remain unknown.
Learn more about the latest IS hostage crisis.
John Kerry is trying to jump-start diplomacy with Russia.
The Palestinians were unable to meet the threshold to pass a resolution through the U.N. Security Council.

2006 Dodge Charger Q&A
2006 Dodge Charger Question: WILL NOT GO OVER 30MPH WITH PEDLE TO METAL
I BOUGHT MY CHARGER IN 2006 BRAND NEW. NO PROBLEMS UNTIL NOW, JAN. 2010. I WAS DRIVING FINE AND THE CAR ACTED LIKE IT GOT STUCK IN NEUTRAL. BUT IT WAS IN DRIVE. AND IT WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 30MPH, EVEN WHEN I STEPPED ON IT HARD. I MADE IT HOME, IT WAS WITHIN 2 MILES OF MY HOUSE. AFTER IT COOLED OFF I DROVE IT AGAIN AND IT WAS OKAY. BUT IT'S AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW. AND THEY THINK IT'S A SENSOR IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE DIAG. MACHINE DIDN'T PICK UP ANYTHING. I KNOW SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH IT. IT SEEMED LIKE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS OUT OR LOW. YOU CAN'T CHECK IT YOURSELF, CUZ THERE IS NO TRANS. STICK IN THE TUBE THING WHERE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID GOES. I'M SO DISCUSTED. I LOVE MY CHARGER, BUT WHEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTS ACTING UP. IT'S TIME TO TRADE FOR A NEW CAR. SCARY. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS COULD BE? HAS ANYONE HAD TROUBLE WITH THIS BEFORE. ALSO THE EMMISSION LIGHT CAME ON FOR A DAY. THEN IT WENT OUT. IT NEVER FLASHED JUST WAS ON FOR A DAY. WHEN IT WENT OUT, I THOUGHT THE CAR WAS FINE. AND THAT'S WHEN IT ACTED LIKE IT WAS STUCK IN ONE GEAR ALMOST NEUTRAL. PLEASE HELP. - Debrina
15 Answers
Answer 1
Debrina, Sorry to hear about the problem with your Charger, but it may not be as bad as you think. These transmissions have safeguards so that when the transmission control module detects a problem (faulty sensor) it will turn on the emission light, and it will go into a "limp home" mode. This limp home mode will act like like you describe, and it gives you just enough functionality to get off the road and "limp" home, and it helps protect the transmission from further damage. The shop should have connected a computer to the vehicle and checked the diagnostic trouble codes, and they should check all technical service bulletins from Dodge. - Bret Bodas
Answer 2
I had the very same issue with my 2006 dodge charger. It would not let me go pass 30mph and it would bog out. It went away for a few days, then it returned but this time it didn't go away. I thought it was a tranny issue because the code it put out was trans related. I took it to the dealer and they diagnosed the issue within 30 min. They told me that my emergency/parking brake lever had snatched/tore a cable that goes connected to the ecu and it went undone. I was also unable to use the autostick. They fixed the issue and since my warranty was up, I had to pay. I asked them how can something like this happen, ther service advisor response was, that someone must have messed with the wires but that was full of crap. They should be more carefull on the layout of the wiring when it comes to building these cars. Well the charger runs well and have not had that prob since then. I try to eleminate from using the parking brake as much. - Visitor
Answer 5
Boy,after reading the blogs, it sounds like the dealers give different answers for the same problem. I have an 06 Charger that did the exact same thing at about 30K miles. The problem never occurred again, but on occasion the transmission "shudders" turning my "engine light" on. It's occurring more frequently now and I have 68K on the car. The diag. codes are P0700 and P0730 for my car. Both transmission codes-Control Sys. Malfunction and Incorrect Gear Ratio. It was recommended that I get rid of the vehicle. The dealership is my next stop since it's under the power-train warranty. I just dread the line of BS that they'll feed me to avoid paying for it. I will see what they say. However, I will get rid of the vehicle before it breaks me or kills me!!! - Visitor
Answer 6
May have been response caused by low transmission fluid. - Visitor
Answer 8
Ihave just over 60K on my 2006 Charger and it is doing the same thing. I will be taking it in to the dealer tomorrow armed with the knowledge provided here. I hope it is the speed sensor and I hope it is under recall as well. I never got a recall notice - wonder why? - omahablues
Answer 9
We bought a 2007 with a 5.7 L Hemi R/T. Last summer 2011 I was using manual and when I shifted from 3 to 4 the same thing happened, all of the sudden I was cruising at 30 more or less and could not accelerate or shift gears I could just switch to Drive. So I just threw on my warnings and slowly put on the brakes. That seemed to help, and it jumped back into gear and I could accelerate again. When I called the dealership, guy said that sometimes it may happen that the cruising speed you're at when you try to shift could cause it to "skip", and so the car has a default cruise that it jumps to, to avoid damaging the transmission. It happened again a couple weeks later with my husband. Dealership couldn't find the problem. However a couple weeks later again, it got stuck in park. Would not budge, would not shift into drive, nothing. Got it towed and turned out it was part of a recall for a faulty gear shift cable that had snapped and had to be replaced. This was also related to the speed application thingy somehow that they also updated. Sorry for my terminology. Everything seems to have been going well, but 8 months later, the other day I was in Drive going up a hill about 35 mph, and the same dang thing happened, it got stuck at that cruise speed. I didnt want to brake going up that hill for fear I'd not be able to make it over without getting hit from the dude tailgating me. Threw on the warnings again and just barely made it to the top. Was able to brake on the way down and it jumped into gear again. Scary stuff. But I love that car. Dont know what to do. - Swayyde
Answer 10
the transmissions in these car seem to act funny anyway. The problem is the tranny being off level some how. I experienced the same problem when i put my spare tire on but when i put the regular tire back on it was fine. Perhaps computers weren't a good idea. - youngmopar20
Answer 11
I work on a mutitudude of vehicles and yes this is going into limp mode but for no codes to be present there is one more thing to look at as this is an intermitant problem.Vehicle and battery voltage can affect differant modules in differant ways.The dealer should be looking at connections and connectors also. - carsforlife
Answer 12
I own a 2006 dodge charger 3.5l sxt, and I too suffered and battled this problem. For two years me and my mechanic scratched our heads trying to figure out what it was. It turns out that it was faulty wiring. somewhere along the line the wires leading from the transmission control mod to the power source was not grounded properly and caused a short in the circuit. to fix this problem my mechanic had to go into the car and re-wire the whole thing (from tranny control mod - to power source). once he did that my nightmares were over. By the way it has been over 2 years since my last encounter with this problem. Hope this helps! - mr.welloff
Answer 13
I had an issue similar to this with my 2006 Charger 5.7 rt.. My car died on the highway randomly one day, and the electronic throttle control light, and EBS traction control light came on. I tried restarting it in traffic a few times and eventually it began running again. This problem became increasingly worse over the next 6 months until it would just "choke out" and stall every 100 ft and was un-drivable. I will mention that there were days that it didn't happen at all. When I took it to the dealership they diagnosed a new throttle body, new spark plugs and a transmission flush. I did all three by myself and the problem still exists. A family member of mine who owns a shop ran codes and took a further look. By this time I had gotten all the same tranny codes (700,750) from three different mechanics in town. All of them (INCLUDING THE DEALERSHIP) failed to notice that all of my wiring into my transmission were melted together causing my car to act like it was having seizures and sometimes going into limp mode (not going over 30mph). The wiring I guess is harnessed directly next to the catalytic converter which reaches in excess of 1200 degrees. I am taking my car in for this repair (new wiring and new computer) which he quoted me $1044 for everything, and I will update you all on the outcome. Keep your fingers crossed for me! - levifrench
Answer 14
Hi do you figure out what was wrong with your car i have a 2008 dodge caliber and it broke down the other day he was exhilarate when going up hills and even if i push my foot to the floor it just makes a noise like im in neutral but not it just wont go up hills and i think it has something to do with transmission but dont know what do you have any clue? - danni.love90
Answer 15
Hello everyone! Had the same problem after my battery died. My car wouldn't go over 20 mph and I almost ended up paying over $100 just for diagnistics before doing research for myself and came upon this website. Really simple instructions and my car is running great! Took only 2 min. Good luck everyone. Happy if I was of any help to anyone. http://www.chargerforumz.com/showthread.php?t=102399 - CPonce

Ovid Is Not a Safe Space, and Other News
May 18, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Dag Solstad will appear at our Norwegian-American Literary Festival this week—isn't it time you get to know him? "A literary provocateur and a national icon, an experimental writer who is also a favorite with the country's top comedians, Dag Solstad's belated international breakthrough is in curious contrast to his position in his native country. Only three of his books have been translated into English (a fourth is on its way), but in Norway, Solstad has, at least since the mid 80s, been held up as a paragon of literary merit, his style a kind of gold standard of prose fiction."
- Columbia students believe that Ovid's Metamorphoses should come with trigger warnings—the myths of Persephone and Daphne, after all, include rape. "But the core [curriculum] is not a form of therapy; it's a form of exposure to diverse ideas, and it should not have the aim of making people feel 'safe.' In fact, that's precisely the opposite of its aim."
- Rare book experts are assembling a kind of scholarly justice league to stop the theft and vandalism of historic books worldwide. "Lawyers and librarians, booksellers and auctioneers will descend on the British Library next month for a major conference whose title—'The Written Heritage of Mankind in Peril'—conveys the seriousness of the problem."
- Émilie Du Châtelet, a seventeenth-century scholar of Newton, religion, science, and mathematics, earned plaudits from Kant and had a very visible relationship with Voltaire—but today no one reads her. "It is possible to major in philosophy without hearing anything about the historical contributions of women philosophers. The canon remains dominated by white males—the discipline that some say still hews to the myth that genius is tied to gender."
- How to turn fifty if you're Rob Pruitt: have a barbecue, just like everyone else. But your barbecue will be art. "Pruitt has been able to embrace a peculiar irony that is omnipresent in the art world today: the paradox of a crass, hypervalued luxury market for the world's super rich, wedded to a left-leaning ideology that sees art as a public good for the common folk … In this curious art world of limousine liberalism, Mr. Pruitt is happy to play chauffeur, more interested in reflecting modern culture than critiquing it."
Recapping Dante: Canto 30, or Triple X
May 26, 2014 | by Alexander Aciman
We're recapping the Inferno. Read along! This week: flesh-eating, incest, the lute-man, and more!
Dante has shown that almost every canto in the Inferno obeys a certain logic. First, Dante and Virgil enter a new circle or ditch; Dante notices a small cluster of sinners being subjected to a gruesome, albeit clever punishment (shit-eating for the flatterers, amputation and disembowelment for the schism-makers); then Virgil will encourage him to approach a sinner, who inevitably ends up being an Italian eager to tell the story of his life in a way that downplays the gravity of his sin. Virgil and Dante move on afterward. Salt, pepper, and serve. This formula is so apparent that had Dante been less skilled, his stories less heartrending, the Inferno would've been a heavy-handed entertainment instead of a lyrical masterpiece.
The opening of canto 30 abandons this formula. We pick up where canto 29 left off, as Dante meets the alchemists and the Falsifiers of Others' Persons. In order to convey exactly how psychotic these sinners are, Dante compares their violence to two famously macabre stories from the ancients. First he tells the story of the goddess Juno, who arranged the death of Ino by sending Ino's lover into a fit of madness during which he took Ino's son and "whirled him round and dashed him on a rock." Ino jumped into the ocean after her dead son and drowned. That's plenty gruesome, but then Dante tells a second story, this one about Hecuba of Troy, who saw her two sons killed and went mad with grief. These mad Thebans and Trojans, Dante writes, are nothing compared to the crazed sinner we encounter here, in the Tenth Pouch of the Eighth Circle of Hell, who bites into the neck of a fellow sinner.
Capocchio, one of Dante's former classmates who was introduced in Canto 29, is the guy being bitten; Griffolino, another sinner who was introduced in 29, explains that the aggressor—the biter—is Gianni Schicchi, who, when he was on earth, pretended to be the late Buoso Donati in order to help his own family inherit a sum of money. Griffolino also points out Myrrha, who appears in The Metamorphoses as the daughter of the King of Cyprus. She so lusted for her father that she put on a disguise and seduced him. Oops! Read More »
Ovid's Ancient Beauty Elixirs
March 20, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
The rumors are true: it's Publius Ovidius Naso's 2,057th birthday. You can score some points with the classicists in your life by mentioning this in casual conversation, especially if you toss in a reference to the Metamorphoses. ("I was just thinking of Pyramus and Thisbe," you might say, wiping a tear from your cheek as you gaze wanly upon a crack in the wall.) And if you're wooing a classicist, or wooing anyone, really, be sure to heed the advice in Ovid's Ars Amatoria, his instructional elegy on romance—its efficacy has not been diminished by the passage of millennia. Mental Floss even has eleven dating tips from the poet himself. They include "the theatre is a great place to pick up girls," "do not make a parade of your nocturnal exploits," and "pay your lovers in poetry."
But I write today with a more urgent, and more profitable, message. Even if readers still (occasionally) reach for the Metamorphoses or Ars Amatoria, there's a massive blind spot in our modern view of Ovid. We've all but forgotten the man's gifts as a beautician. Read More »
Literary Halloween Costumes; Romantic Gestures
October 28, 2011 | by Lorin Stein
What are the most successful romantic gestures in literature? I need to win someone back, stat. Failing that, can you recommend reading to mend a broken heart?
Levin wins back Kitty after behaving like a complete ass, but you may not have time to read Anna Karenina. There's the moment when Little Miss No Name runs downstairs to say good-bye to Max de Winter, in Rebecca, and it happens early in the book, but maybe that's not exactly a case of winning somebody back. I'm guessing swordplay and feats of derring-do are not to the point—so I would read Pursuits of Happiness, Stanley Cavell's 1981 study of what he calls "remarriage comedies," movies about couples falling apart and getting back together. First you'll want to cue up the movies in question: The Lady Eve, It Happened One Night, Bringing Up Baby, The Philadelphia Story, His Girl Friday, Adam's Rib, and The Awful Truth.
If that doesn't give you any ideas, readers of this column will guess my first recommendation: the wacky but wise self-help book Love and Limerence, also Ovid's Cure for Love—full of useful advice, like: focus on the beloved's physical imperfections—and George Jones, opera omnia.
Do you think joining a private social club—a super old-fashioned one in a historic building whose members have all led long, literary lives—sounds (a) retro and totally cool, or (b) stodgy and a little weird, a misplaced desire for a twenty-something who might be the club's only member under sixty, and only Jew in history?

Not that a lot of big names haven't tried. The Uptown Café was the first expansion effort for a Branson-based family-style restaurant that didn't serve alcohol. In less than a year, Hereford House Restaurants had taken over and, not surprisingly, added booze to the menu. Leawood might be a bedroom community, but it's not a teetotaling town.
After two years, though, the Hereford House's Rod Anderson realized he couldn't make the 1950s-style diner click. "For one thing, it was a dining room that had 220 seats, and you saw all of them the minute you walked into the restaurant," he says. "When the place was full, it rocked. But when it was half empty, you could fire a cannon through it and not hit anyone."
When Anderson pulled out in 2000, another Kansas City restaurant operation, KC Hopps Ltd. (the 75th Street Brewery, Barley's Brewhaus, the Blue Moose) took over and named it the Uptown Diner. That incarnation lasted until the fall of 2002. Out went the retro theme and the trashy, purple-blue exterior. When KC Hopps once again opened the stainless-steel-and-glass doors last April, the venue had been completely revamped and repainted (in tastefully bland taupe) as the dark and clubby Fenton's Bar and Grill.
No, the restaurant wasn't named for the fictional Fenton Hardy, the "internationally famous detective" and father of those lovable teenage crime-solvers the Hardy Boys. Solving yet another mystery, it has no connection to another Johnson County restaurant named Fenton's, which used to serve roasted chicken and corn chowder at 151st Street and Metcalf. That other Fenton's, named for restaurateur Fenton Barnard, closed at about the same time that the Uptown Café opened. This newest Fenton's was named for septuagenarian Jim Fenton, the first regular customer at the 75th Street Brewery. Such a touching gesture. I practically wept.
Remind me, if I ever open my own restaurant, to name it Two Chubby Blond Girls, after my first regular customers when I waited tables at a now-closed midtown restaurant. Alas, I lost touch with those Rubenesque babes after I was fired, though I recall that they liked to drink martinis, very dry, with an olive and a pickled onion. Eerily, that's just what my friend Bob ordered at Fenton's when he discovered that Thursday nights featured two-buck martinis.
We had barely squeezed into a booth when our server, Leo, announced the drink special. Food and mystery writer Lou Jane Temple, joining us on our adventure, immediately snapped to attention. "Two-dollar martinis? I'll have one, too."
How things have changed from the innocent days of 1998, when this venue served only lemonade and chocolate malts. Now the bar permits smoking and offers drink specials nearly every night. Bob and Lou Jane were so delighted by the cheap martinis that they downed several, putting them in the happiest of moods. And when Bob heard that the Thursday night dinner special was a $12 Kansas City strip, his cup ran over.
Maybe it was because I wasn't drinking, but I didn't see anything on the menu -- which boasts a lot of the same dishes you see on other KC Hopps-owned restaurants -- that really turned me on. Even the appetizer assortment was a rerun of the stuff you'd see at the 75th Street Brewery or the Blue Moose: chicken nachos, spinach-artichoke dip, Bavarian pretzels.
The Tabasco Onion Rings sounded novel, so we ordered them, along with the Four-Cheese Spinach Artichoke Dip, from the charming but perpetually flustered Leo. The lightly battered onion rings were a delicate pink, thanks to a healthy dose of fiery Tabasco sauce that gave them a distinct kick. But the dip was predictably dull: cheesy, yes, but with artichokes chopped so finely that they'd practically disappeared. And though the menu bragged that the concoction would be "served with our homemade tortilla chips," it arrived alongside a pile of disturbingly psychedelic corn chips in shades of candy-apple red and acid green.
Leo had asked us whether we wanted our salads before dinner. Of course we did, but when mine arrived it might as well have been an unpleasant main course -- the Caesar was so overdressed that even calling it a salad was a stretch. It was a romaine casserole! Things didn't improve for me at dinner, when I had to make do with the virtually taste-free Tomato and Fresh Mozzarella Pasta, twisty noodles tossed with chunks of flavorless yellow and red tomatoes and cherry-sized balls of milky mozzarella.
Bob's steak, on the other hand, was a decently grilled and juicy 12-ounce strip, sided by hot, creamy mashed potatoes. Even better were Lou Jane's meaty, falling-off-the-bone barbecued pork ribs, slathered with a dark but profoundly sweet sauce.
As for dessert: I know better than to order a bananas Foster that isn't made tableside. Named after a regular customer at the venerable Brennan's in New Orleans, this dessert -- fresh bananas sautéed with rum, brown sugar and liqueur -- goes from beautifully caramelized to gummily inedible unless it's served immediately. Ours wasn't, and it tasted slimy instead of succulent.
I returned on a weekend night, this time with nondrinkers Peter and Marilyn, who looked at Fenton's casual dining room (no tablecloths, servers in T-shirts) through sober eyes and found it lacking. "This place has zero personality," Peter complained. "And the menu couldn't be more conventional."
But his interest was piqued by a low-carb dinner menu thrust at us by the hostess. Peter's eyes lit up at something called Honey Soy Kabobs. "It sounds deliciously healthy," he gushed. It sounded like dullsville to me. Peter didn't actually read the description before he ordered it, assuming the dish was made with tofu. But it turned out to be shrimp and beef brushed with a honey-and-soy-sauce marinade, skewered and grilled. It was surprisingly tasty.
I wish I could say the same for our appetizers that night: doughy pretzels coated with enough salt to melt Leawood streets after an ice storm (I gagged after a bite) and lightly fried Asian spring rolls weirdly accompanied by stone-ground mustard instead of the "homemade peanut sauce" listed on the menu. I flagged down that night's waiter -- a sweaty kid who never knew if he was coming or going -- and asked for peanut sauce. Fifteen minutes later, he remembered to bring it, shortly before informing me that my dinner would be a little late. "The chef didn't think the sauce on the pork chop looked right, so he made it again," he said.
In the meantime, he brought out Peter's kabobs, served with a bowl of creamed cauliflower as a "potato substitute" (one taste had me begging for french fries), and Marilyn's fish and chips. The latter dish, flaky cod fried in a luscious, light, wheat-ale batter, is one of the signature items at Fenton's (as it is in several other KC Hopps venues). Fussy Marilyn loved it. And although I had to watch my companions eat without me for a while, my grilled pork chop was worth waiting for: thick, juicy and flavorful. But the sleek, cornstarch-based "smoked apple and onion chutney" -- that's what it's called, anyway -- easily could have been omitted from the dish. Ditto the accompanying "hash" of chopped Idaho spuds and sweet potatoes.
For dessert, Peter nixed the restaurant's excellent hot brownie baked in an iron skillet so he could order the one dessert that wasn't actually made in the restaurant, a wedge of "Atkins Cheesecake" licensed by the diet doc's estate and sprinkled with far too much cinnamon. That extra spice was necessary, though, to hide the cheesecake's gluey flavorlessness. Life is too short to suffer through diet desserts. I say order the goddamned brownie.
The restaurant, less than a quarter full when we arrived, was hardly busier when we departed. I shook my head and noted that the prices weren't steep and the dining room was comfortable and clean. What gives?
"Maybe if I'd had a martini," Marilyn said, "this place wouldn't seem like such a bore."
Mystery solved.

The Sagittarius - Officer Overload?

Re: The Sagittarius - Officer Overload?
Not sure the list really makes sense, though. It's 'big-ship' centric. Great as department heads, but when that's the entire department, doesn't really fit.
Generally makes sense as far as jobs to get done, but you gotta get that into SHIFTS, so you can actually run the ship 24/7. On a ship like that, they all have to be at least cross-trained in a couple things, so muddies the waters. With 14 people, probably don't need a Security Chief AND a Tactical Officer, for example. Wouldn't have a CMO AND a med tech, you'd just have the CMO and several people would have had med tech training (like Paris on Voyager, could pitch in when needed, but doesn't stand around there).
Need a couple people able to pilot, at a minimum. Even with 4 6-hour shifts, gotta have 2 so someone can always fly. You wouldn't have that many hanging around engineering, either. 1 to monitor and baby things, others would just come in to help in hairy situations. With such a small crew, you can't 'waste' spots like that. CO and XO trade off commanding the ship, 2 to fly, 2 to run engineering, 2 for tac/security, 2 of science, 1 doctor, and 3 trained specifically on whatever the mission profile is. Pretty much how i see it playing out.
Likely not more than just the CO and XO required to be an officer. Probably the doctor as well, as the additional training usually results in that. And the 3 mission specialists could have at least 1-2 officers in that crowd, depending.
In Trek reality, though, pretty much everyone was an officer, so really a moot point. But they could never really be consistent there, so easier to assume they've all been to the academy...
Tough to really pick who 'needs' to be an officer there. CO and XO, but on a ship that small, that could be it.
Perhaps, if I am very lucky, the feeble efforts of my lifetime will someday be noticed and maybe, in some small way, they will be acknowledged as the greatest works of genius ever created by man. ~Jack Handey

The Arc of the United States Tell ADD how it can make a difference in the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). An opportunity we can't afford to miss! What Do You Think: - children with IDD need to live happy lives with their families? - adults with IDD need to live meaningful lives in their communities? - seniors with IDD need to long, healthy lives in their homes? Come out to share your ideas with ADD Commissioner Sharon Lewis. Sharon has a long history with The Arc and is the parent of a child with IDD. As the recently appointed Commissioner for the Administration on Developmental Disabilities, public outreach and strategic planning are critically important items on my agenda. There are so many complex issues affecting people with disabilities across the country – implementation of the Affordable Care Act, the new economic reality of states, persistent unemployment, education reform efforts, and our aging population – these are only a small sample of the significant changes that are shaping the future. Given this shifting landscape, I hope to hear how self-advocates, family members, allies, and professionals describe a vision of the future for individuals with developmental disabilities.

Why Should Chapters of The Arc and Affiliates of UCP Participate? ADD oversees the programs created by the Developmental Disabilities Act: 1) Protection and Advocacy Systems (P & As) 2) Councils on Developmental Disabilities (DD Councils) 3) University Centers for Excellence in Development Disabilities (UCEDs) 4) Projects of National Significance Chapters of The Arc and affiliates of UCP have extensive involvement which each of these programs and have a vested interest in helping to make them as effective as possible. In addition, Commissioner Lewis works with other federal agencies that run programs that are Monday Morning Memo The Arc of California October 18, 2010, page 3 of 11 Tony Anderson, Executive Director very important to people with IDD to make sure they best meet the needs of our constituents and service providers. Our ideas will be used to help develop ADD's five-year strategic plan. What Should You Say at the Summits? You should share any personal or professional knowledge and experience that you believe can help improve the quality of life for people with IDD. You can also use the talking points we have developed for you. Thank you in advance for your participation!

In 2006 we entered into collaboration with the California Association of Family Empowerments Centers, Family Resource Centers of California, Family Voices of California to compete for the State Council grant for three years. We were awarded the grant in 2007, in 2008 we added People First of California to the collaboration, and in 2009 we were given an extension of one additional year to end the project in 2010. Every class included advocates from a chapter of The Arc and in every class new advocates joined either their local or the state chapter of The Arc. The Partners program consisted of eight sessions one weekend every month for eight months and we selected 36 participants for each class. All of their lodging and meals accommodations were covered, their transportation, and many other services such as day care, behavioral respite, respite, direct support professionals etc if needed to participate. The program sessions followed the model created by the Minnesota Governor's Office on Developmental Disabilities, as directed by the grant announcement, which involves at least 130 hours of instruction. The sessions will included: (1) History of Disability Awareness, Services, and Advocacy, (2) Inclusive Education and Assistive Technology, (3) Service Coordination by Local Governments/ Regional Centers and Envisioning the Future, (4) Supported/Independent Living and Supported/Customized Employment (5) Community Monday Morning Memo The Arc of California October 18, 2010, page 4 of 11 Tony Anderson, Executive Director Organizing and Advocacy, (6) State Government and State Legislation, (7) Federal Government and Federal Legislation, (8) Parliamentary Procedure and Serving on Boards. Status On Saturday September 25, 2010 we graduated the Class of 2010 in Ontario below are a few quotes from the graduates: When my husband I decided to start our family we envisioned what out lives would like...Family vacations, sports, camping, PTA, Sunday school, pizza nights, etc. A family centered life full of love with our kids wrapped up in the middle of it. BUT when your children are diagnosed with life long disabilities you have to rethink all of your plans. Not the Love part, but everything else. It took me a while to come to terms with my life's new definition, but when I did I decided that our journey would not be in vain. It was my dream that all the struggles of my family would pave a road for families that followed. Partners have shown me how to make that dream go even further. I plan to make this world a better place for people with disabilities. I plan to work at a local, state and federal level to ensure that " life" lessons that my children have taught me does not stop at me. As I learned in class; when I Pray, I will move my feet. - Pam Houtchens I have learned that one person can make a difference. I will not stand back and wait for change to be made but will be a part of the change. I have submitted my application to be a member of our local Community Advisory Committee (CAC) which has been approved by the executive board and waiting to be approved by the Board of Education. I really want to encourage other parents to get involved with the school district before there is a problem they need help with. I really believe it is better to be proactive then reactive. I will also be attending training for an Alternative Dispute Resolution program know as a Solutions Panel later this year. I hope to attend the advocate certificate program at USD in the near future. Being a part of this program has been a real eye opener for me. I want to be as informed and involved as I can be. - Raylene "Don't let disability define you...define yourself with the choices you make and the life you live." - Lucas Recommendation/Conclusion …Six Partners in Policymaking graduates attended the board meeting for The Arc of California to testify on the impact the program has had on their lives. 2007 graduate Raymond Hampton and 2009 graduates Doug Fletcher and Bret Gordon urged the board to continue the Partners program past the State Council funded period. Doug, newly appointed member of the Area Board 10, traveled from Los Angeles to thank The Arc for their commitment to advocacy training and talked about how he learned so much from the program and especially from the self-advocates who showed him there is a bright future for his child with a disability. Workforce Development Below is an excerpt from the latest report and presentation to The Arc of California Board of Directors on the topic of Workforce Development … Monday Morning Memo The Arc of California October 18, 2010, page 5 of 11 Tony Anderson, Executive Director Background In 2005 then President of The Arc of California, Shirley Dove appointed Kim Olson as chair of a subcommittee to address the issue of workforce development for Direct Support Professionals who support people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities and their families. The Arc CA eventually contracted with the College of Direct Support, Learning Management Systems (LMS) provider, which began a four-year business relationship. From this initial committee report the board has put motion the following activities: 1. Establish the California College of Direct Support Program Initiative 2. Developed a Statewide Social Marketing Campaign about workforce issues. 3. Sponsored the National Association of Direct Support Professional and provided trainings on the national certification. Status …The national credentialing idea is still moving forward with all the competencies and requirements already completed and ready for students. As described by NADSP, "the purpose of this credentialing program is to provide national recognition for the contributions and competence of Direct Support Professionals who apply for and meet the credentialing standards. The NADSP credentialing program affords DSPs the opportunity to commit to the profession of direct support through its three-tiered credential program. The DSP career path begins with the Registration Level (DSP-Registered). As a DSP-Registered you will then be eligible to complete expert training in the key DSP competencies of empowerment, communication, planning, ethical practice and advocacy to become a fully certified Direct Support Professional (DSP-Certified). The third level of NADSP credentialing (DSP-Specialist) recognizes DSPs who have obtained specialized training and have demonstrated competence in providing specialized support to individuals with disabilities in community human services." Recommendation/Conclusion The Arc of California has presented the DSP credential at events with DSPs and we have received favorable response from each presentation. However, since we do not actually credential the DSPs we have no idea of the follow-up from DSPs. I recommend The Arc of California pursue the possibility of becoming the state chapter of NADSP and investigate the viability of certifying DSPs for the national credential. Lisa Burke, President of NADSP and staff of The Arc of Mississippi reported to The Arc of California board of Directors on the purpose and status of the national credentialing program and the current status of the workforce and future trends. Lisa Burke's presentation was excellent and well received by the board of directors which continues to be supportive of national credentialing and supports furthering our involvement.

Although the cover of the article is sensationalized, the article itself reflects a current scientific theory with relevance to IDD – that exposures before birth can greatly influence the chronic diseases suffered in adulthood. Our colleagues in the Breast Cancer Fund have released the 2010 edition of their landmark report, State of the Evidence: The Connection Between Breast Cancer and the Environment , which displays the latest scientific research showing how exposures to chemicals and radiation affect breast cancer risk. As collaboratorsion a coalition to reform chemical policy, they have demonstrated through one disease the impact on health from environmental exposures, just as those with IDD are affected. The Environmental Health Initiative has initiated its Aging webinar series held each Tuesday from October 12 – November 9.

U.S. CONGRESS PASSES LEGISLATION THAT ELIMINATES TERM "MENTAL RETARDATION" IN SEVERAL LAWS The U.S. House of Representatives approved a bill that eliminates the use of the words "retarded" and "retardation" in health, education, and labor laws. The legislation known as Rosa's Law now goes to President Barack Obama. "I'm pleased that the House has approved Rosa's Law, and hope the President will sign it quickly," said Senator Mike Enzi, original co-sponsor of the bill with Senator Barbara Mikulski. "For far too long we have used hurtful words like 'mental retardation' or 'MR' in our federal statutes to refer to those living with intellectual disabilities...Rosa's Law will make a greatly-needed change that should have been made well before today - and it will encourage us to treat people the way they would like to be treated."

NEW RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS POSSIBLE LINK BETWEEN GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY IN ADOLESCENT GIRLS AND AN INCREASED RISK FOR NEURAL TUBE DEFECTS IN FUTURE CHILDREN A case study presented on October 3rd at the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) National Conference and in San Francisco, California, highlights the possible link between gastric bypass surgery in adolescent girls and an increased risk for neural tube defects. Neural tube defects can lead to varying degrees of disability such as paralysis and intellectual disability due to damage to the nervous system in offspring. Neural tube defects in the brain and spinal cord can be due to nutritional deficiencies. The case study presented, "Neural Tube Defects: An Unforseen Consequence of Gastric Bypass Surgery in Young Female Patients?" reviewed the case of a young patient who had undergone gastric bypass surgery prior to becoming pregnant. A literature review found six additional documented cases of children born with neural tube defects thought to be due to maternal nutritional deficiencies, particularly malabsorption (when the body cannot absorb nutrients), following bypass surgery.

AUTISM IN THE NEWS: WHY AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER AFFECTS MORE MALES THAN FEMALES AND NEW STUDY ON AN EARLY MARKER FOR AUTISM New research from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) and The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Toronto, Canada, provides further clues as to why Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects four times more males than females. The scientists discovered that males who carry specific alterations of DNA on the sole X-chromosome they carry are at high risk of developing ASD.
