Sebewaing is a village in Huron County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 1,759 at the 2010 census. The village is within Sebewaing Township. This community is known as the Sugar Beet Capital, due to the Michigan Sugar slicing mill located within the village and the yearly Michigan Sugar Festival. The Sebewaing area, the Thumb, and the state of Michigan overall are major beet sugar producers, mostly for domestic consumption.
- According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 1.71 square miles (4.43 km2), of which 1.58 square miles (4.09 km2) is land and 0.13 square miles (0.34 km2) is water.[1] Its name derives from the Ojibwe word ziibiiweng meaning "by the stream."
- It is considered to be part of the Thumb of Michigan, which in turn is a subregion of the Flint/Tri-Cities.
The town's name was derived from the Algonquian language of Native Americans, the original inhabitants of the area.
Beginning in the mid-19th century, the town was settled by many migrants of German ancestry. In 1880 the E.O. Braendle Brewery began operations. In 1927 it was renamed, and the Sebewaing Brewing Company [6] brewed many types of German-style beer in the town until 1985.[7] The Michigan Brewing company in Webberville, Michigan has resurrected some of the brands, using authentic formulae and labels.[8]

In this version of a classic Japanese dish, we first blanch the vegetables to tenderize them, then stir-fry them to impart flavor. If you're preparing the vegetables for later use, shock them in an ice water bath once they're blanched to stop them from cooking.
If you have access to a grill, you can grill the meat instead of searing it in the wok. This will add a smoky flavor. Finish by simmering the meat in the sauce on the stovetop as in the original recipe.
YIELD: Makes 4 servings
In small saucepan over moderate heat, stir together soy sauce, mirin, sake, 2 tablespoons sugar, and grated apple. Bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Keep warm.
In medium saucepan of boiling water, cook carrots until just slightly tender, about 2 minutes. Add broccoli and continue boiling until all vegetables are tender, about 1 1/2 minutes more. Using slotted spoon, remove vegetables. Set aside.
In large wok or sauté pan over moderately high heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking. Add ginger, garlic, and scallions and stir-fry until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, salt, and remaining sugar and stir-fry until vegetables are tender and heated through, about 4 minutes. Transfer to serving platter. Add steaks to pan and sear until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Add reserved sauce, reduce heat to moderate, and simmer steaks, turning once, until sauce is reduced to syrupy consistency and steaks are cooked to medium doneness, about 2 minutes per side.
Transfer steaks to cutting board and thinly slice on bias. Transfer to serving platter and top with sauce. Serve with steamed rice.

September 9 Session Will NOT Revisit B2B Taxes
Governor Dayton and all four legislative leaders met this morning and agreed to hold a Special Session on Monday, September 9, at 10 a.m. to provide disaster relief to the 18 Minnesota counties pummeled by severe storms and floods in late June.
The prospects for a Special Session, first raised by Gov. Dayton over two weeks ago, gave GOP legislators and gubernatorial candidates a platform to demand that recently enacted business-to-business (B2B) sales taxes also be repealed during the Special Session. Gov. Dayton, who initially rebuffed such suggestions, recanted slightly when he announced at Farmfest, a major agricultural event, that he would allow for repeal of the B2B tax on farm equipment repairs to be part of the Special Session. His admission of needing to "fix" the farm equipment repair tax only emboldened the GOP and others in the business community to insist that also repealing the taxes on warehousing, all commercial equipment repairs and telecommunications equipment be part of any Special Session.
The demand for expanding the scope of the Special Session brought the Governor and the four legislative leaders together late last week. No agreement on the scope of the Special Session could be reached, so the Governor explored ways to pay for disaster relief without calling a Special Session. When the Governor's staff at Minnesota Management and Budget found no lawful alternatives for getting counties the dollars needed for disaster relief, legislative leaders scheduled today's meeting with Dayton and resigned themselves to allowing a one-day session that will be limited to appropriating funds for disaster relief only (see attached signed statement).
While legislators on both sides of the aisle are having second thoughts about the B2B taxes passed as part of the 2013 Omnibus Tax Bill, repealing them all would leave a $314 million hole in the state's budget. Gov. Dayton and legislators are counting on an improved economic forecast in November and February to make up the lost revenue to be able to repeal the taxes. Otherwise, legislators would need to enact cuts or raise taxes to make up the difference—and with 2014 being an election year for Gov. Dayton and all 134 members of the Minnesota House, neither of those prospects are an attractive option.

IN DENVER, COLORADO - Global Choke Point: Confronting Energy Demand and Water Scarcity in China and the United States
April 11, 2013 // 5:00pm — 7:00pm
China Environment Forum
China's soaring economy, fueled by an unyielding appetite for coal, is threatened by the country's steadily diminishing freshwater reserves. The United States faces similar water-energy confrontations—over millions of gallons of water are taken from ranchers to develop the deep oil and gas shale reserves of the west and there are battles between Georgia and Florida over diminishing drinking water reserves. Global Choke Point, though, is not necessarily a narrative of doom and gloom. The presentations will examine both the challenges and opportunities presented by these looming choke points.

The Devouring Dragon: How China's Rise Threatens Our Natural World
April 04, 2013 // 9:00am — 10:30am
China Environment Forum
While China's rise is often viewed through its wide-ranging political and economic effects on the world, its growing impacts on the physical planet will leave a more permanent legacy. In his new book, The Devouring Dragon, Craig Simons argues that China's growing consumer demands have pushed China from being a small player in global resource consumption to its most voracious participant in just a decade. China's transition is already having massive impacts on the environment.

Shale Gas Revolution in China: Game Changer for Coal?
March 15, 2013 // 9:00am — 11:00am
China Environment Forum
According to China's 12th Fifth-Year Plan, the Chinese government is prioritizing more gas in the energy mix, using it as a "bridging" fuel between coal and a cleaner energy future. Although a shale and natural gas revolution is unlikely, at least in the short-term, these forms of energy offer promise of a more low-carbon development path for China.
Environmental Film Festival: 'Beijing Besieged by Waste'
March 14, 2013 // 12:00pm — 2:00pm
China Environment Forum
With a population of around 20 million and growing, Beijing's residents produce unfathomable amounts of waste every day. Between 2008 and 2010, photographer and filmmaker Wang Jiuliang traveled to hundreds of legal and illegal landfills around the capital city to document the less considered side of China's economic ascent.

Transforming China's Cities
March 05, 2013 // 2:00pm — 3:30pm
China Environment Forum
China is witnessing the largest migration in human history: More than 300 million people will move to China's cities in the next 20 years. Fortunately, China's national government and an increasing number of local leaders recognize the imprudence of this development pattern and seek a low-carbon development approach. The work of the China Sustainable Energy Program of the Energy Foundation is aimed at promoting sustainable urban development that focuses on people and encourages compact, mixed-use, and transit-oriented development, as well as green transportation systems.
Green Innovation in China: Book Launch and Panel Discussion
January 29, 2013 // 9:00am — 11:00am
China Environment Forum
The development of wind power in China provides valuable insight into how cooperation and technology transfer has contributed to the fast-growing wind industry in the Middle Kingdom, which plays an important role in continuing the Chinese and global fight against climate change. On January 29, three leading experts on U.S.-China technology cooperation, Joanna I. Lewis, Levi Tillemann, and Banning Garrett, spoke at the China Environment Forum event on the development of U.S.-China collaboration on green technology, and its importance on climate change, innovation and other global issues.

Los Angeles-based fashion designer Quinn Thompson lets his adventurous, can-do spirit guide him in creating Saint Grace, his ultra-feminine line of contemporary women's basics. Originally from Olympia, Washington, Thompson grew up on a boat — an experience that instilled in him a sense of wonderment and possibility that continues to inform his 1970s-inspired clothing designs. Saint Grace's brightly colored maxi-dresses and T-shirts, elegant tank tops and wide pants, asymmetrical cardigan sweaters and other separates are ultra-feminine and come in a range of luxurious fabrics — from Egyptian and Supima cotton to cashmere, rayon, modal and jersey.

I'm a pretty simple man, I'm pretty casual but I clean up pretty well I think. I enjoy being outside. I enjoy going on weekend trips to Tahoe in the summer and winter. I really like Hawaii but haven't been in a number of years and would really like to go back soon. I enjoy most sports, playing and watching. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I also enjoy experiencing new things. I have two awsome boys 13 and 10 that I share custody of and that definately keep me on my toes, which I love spending time doing things with. Even though I have two young boys my schedule is pretty flexible due to a good relationship with their mom.

I know every guy probably says it but I AM a good guy who just wants to meet someone special to spend time with and enjoy lifes adventures. I AM NOT a serial dater and prefer to be with one woman. I make a good living I own my home. I just want someone to share life with. So take a chance ladies what do you have to lose. Stop chasing the players and try one of the good guys.

34 year old woman | Hollywood, CA, USA | Seeking women 25-50 within 20 miles of Los Angeles, CA
I'd say "like a ninja" best sums me up. I'm kind of Asian and I sometimes like wearing black. Totally ninja-like.
Some stuff about me: I work in television. My friends are my family. I'm a thinker, especially when it comes to psychology, sociology, and philosophy. I totally volunteer sometimes and I've never hit an animal with my car. And I kind of recycle things...? Also, I'm funny, I have great hair...and if a way to a man's heart is his stomach, I make some amazing comfort foods. My specialty is chicken noodle soup. You can pretty much tell your mom or grandma that it's game over. Movies I like: Tombstone - I just really like tuberculosis and Kurt Russell. Gone With the Wind - I love slavery! Too soon? The Stuff - It's a B-horror movie about killer whipped cream. Halloween - I do think Michael Meyers is hot, but not in like a fetishy way--just in the sense that I'm kind of into serial killers that wear masks. Normal. The Pirate Movie - You've never seen it. No one has. It's amazing, though. It's a musical with pirates. So awesome. Vintage Porn - There's some really good story-telling buried in all that 70s bush. Music I love: Miike Snow, Daft Punk, VHS or Beta, Savage Garden, Discovery, Cold War Kids, Hot Chip, Apparat, Naked and Famous, Local Natives, Portugal. The Man, Sunday Girl, Carpenters, Hall & Oates...Really, I like a lot of bands, but mostly indie or old school, with a little of 80s/90s pop or hip hop in there as well. What I'm looking for: Someone who's smart, funny, nice, and can take care of himself, but wouldn't mind a little extra nurturing from me (in the form of me presenting my boobs for motorboating).

EASY...the tattoo!!!
Who wants to win an iPhone 4 entries: Who would you pick?
Here they are, the entries into TiPb's huge iPhone 4 give-away (technically a US Apple Retail Store gift certificate).
Check them out after the break and let us know your favorite in the poll. It might not influence our final decision... but you never can tell!
So, who do you love?

Who wants to win an iPhone 4 entries: Who would you pick?
Easy.. the kitty Kay =^..^=!!
I really hope the tattoo guy doesn't win. If it was a contest to do the stupidest thing to win the iphone, OK, I would vote for him. But as a film goes, eh, not so good.
I voted for Cregan4584 because he is one hell of a guy and really creates some kick ass vids!
They suck big black meat :P
Hey, where's my entry?
Hey, where's my entry? [my entry is as mrbutler45!! where is it?]
I vote for Tizocman. I COMPLETLY understand what happened, and he was honest. Tattoo guy was unoriginal. It was a funny, but the dude had dozens of tattoos already- one more means very little. Tyler was pretty awesome too though...
iPhone vacation.... Original and funny
I think it's lame for current iPhone owners to win the next version. Why not give it to someone who doesn't already own an iPhone? I mean it's not as if their current one is obsolete, granted it's not as awesome as the new iPhone 4, but it is still an iPhone. TiPb & fans, I challenge you to cast your vote for a contestant who doesn't already own an iPhone, like Give-way(justdrew1985) or even "The Best for Last" since his fun entry is really a thank you to his aunt. I watched all the entries before voting, and thought a few were well done, but my favorite was Give-way(justdrew1985)! He created an iPhone 4 music video! Not only did he highlight all the cool, new iPhone 4 features creatively, he performed them in an original iPhone 4 song! Super fun & creative! I could only imagine what cool videos he'd create if he won! Vote for Give-way(justdrew1985) too!
I think that the "Man and His iPhone" was the best film by far. It had a plot, drama, humor, great camera work, and best of all, a happy ending. Wait...what? Oh... Right. That was my film. Gotta love the cute little girl at the and who says, "I love you too, iPhone."
Good point Jarred. I used a screen shot of TiPb in my video and I can only assume that's ok. The real question is: Did those cats sign a release?
Haha, copyright infringement? I made the iPhone Vacation video. I wanted to show the phone off, so I showed a 2 second snipet of the iPhone 4 video. Does that mean that if I posted a picture as opposed to a video, it would be infringement? What about when I said "iPhone"? No, it's not infringement. It's the Fair Use Act. Also, Big Ticket Television owns the rights to the Judge Judy name and they encourage people to use their material from the show. It's free advertising. So, no infringement at all. It is all original ideas that I worked very hard on and am very proud of it. Thanks for watching though!
Well... I was certainly worried. So I limited it to a short clip using the TiPb logo(s). I just kinda assumed that was ok.
But I'm pretty sure all the videos we can vote on are all ok on infrigement. There were two entries in the contest forum that didn't make it on the list. (Besides the ones that submitted late.)
I'm sure one was because it looked like it had nothing to do with the contest. The other was on most likely on infringement issues.
But anyway... This day needs to go by faster!!! Oh the anticipation!
Is it infringement if you don't sell it or use it to make a profit? I liked your video the best, Dan, (after mine of course!). Liked the voice modulation.
Hey Farm, true as long as you don't use it for profit. I never even considered TiPb material in the vid as copyright infringement because I used their logo, website name several times and the clip of Rene posting the contest video. I knew it'd draw attention to the site and I wasn't going to sell the video. Farm, your video was awesome and thanks so much for the kind words.
Hey Dan, let's make a deal: if either of us wins, we'll share the iPhone. We'll swich off every other month. This will double our chances of winning!!!
Lol, I love the idea. We will have a custody agreement where we get it every other weekend and holidays. Sounds like a Judge Judy episode.
Another video that I loved the first second I saw it was by justdrew1985. He wrote the song, has a good voice and I laughed. Lots of credit to him.
I think all the entries are great and everyone took the time and effort to put one in. The only video I have a problem with is the tattoo. I don't mean to sound harsh, but it just was not original. It's been done before. I tried to cover everything Rene was looking for. I put an add up on craigslist looking for female jello wrestlers but I kept getting emails calling me a pervert!
@Dan all I meant is that to me it seemed you guys had copyrighted material in your video. Yeah it could have been original but copyrighted material shouldn't be in it or so I thought. Unless you do own the rights to the iPhone 4 video or judge Judy. And when you talk about using your video for profit. Are you not trying to win a $499 gift card by using your video?
@jarred Very true, unless you have permission. I contacted Apple's legal department and spoke to a representative by the name of Samantha. I told her I used a 3 second snippet of the iPhone 4 preview video that showed the iPhone design and apple logo. I told her I was not using it for profit, but the winner would receive a $499 gift certificate. I asked for permission, and she laughed. Her words were "That's perfectly acceptable as you are not using our trademarks for profit. Thank you for asking." I asked if I could have written permission and she said that she couldn't mail something out, but the rules for the use of Apple trademarks are available on apple.com/legal. You can verify this by contacting Apple's legal department at 408-253-0186.
In regards to judge Judy footage, I contacted CBS Television Studios and was connected to Big Picture Entertainment. I asked to speak to a member of their legal department. No one answered, so I left a voicemail. When they get back to me, I'll update. As I said earlier, they encourage use of the videos as long as no profit is made. That's why there are so many YouTube channels dedicated to showing full Judge Judy episodes an hour after they broadcast.
I respect you wondering this and glad you did because it gave me a chance to make sure my permissions are official and follow all guidelines that tipb.com asked for. Good luck everyone!
B has a point, and he posted a Caption on it telling everyone to goto tipb and vote...
Like Rene said, this vote is not really worth anything. It's just simply a poll. Hopefully Rene will judge these videos on their own merit and not by some silly, easily tamperable poll.
sigh. are you really arguing a caption asking people to go to a website if the enjoyed the video and vote for me? I have 120 subscribers. I am not positive, but I am pretty sure WAY more people visit tipb.com the day before the iPhone 4 launch, especially with people getting their phone a day early. I work hard to put out material which people like and subscribe to see more of, and 120 is NOTHING. If I was a betting man, I would expect Rene to give the gift certificate to tattoo guy just because he has his website tattooed on his leg now for life. I find tattoo guy's entry very unoriginal, but worthy of it's own respect and merit which I give him 100 percent. Would I do that? No, not at all. I posted the video after his because I find my entry more creative than his, and most importantly, original. I have been very respectful to everyone so please spare the trolling with copyright issues and the amount of subscribers I have. I asked people honestly to vote if they enjoyed it, and that's what the numbers show in my opinion.
Didn't realize that you had the most votes, Dan. I thought it was the tattoo guy. Hell, I told all my 300 facebook friends to vote for me. I even sent them the direct link. Apparently it didn't work. I still have only 32 votes : ( I really hope that Rene doesn't take this poll into consideration ; )

Hi ladies,
I've been on the fence re: getting the 3G 8GB iphone for a couple months now... Please help me make a decision!!!
My DH has an iphone so I've been playing with it and getting used to the interface. I love most of what I've seen (great user-friendliness), except:
- No video recording capability?! (I've been reading some techie news and there is a rumor that the next generation of iphone might come with video recording, but I'm sure that's going to be more expensive) Does anyone have experience using any of those 3rd party software that turns iphone into a camcorder?
- No zooming capability on the camera?! Again, I've seen some 3rd party apps that will enhance the existing camera into one with zooming, primarily cycorder (or something like that). But does it really work?
- Keyboard--most of the time it's been hard for me to compose an email (lots of spelling errors)... is it just my fingers (and they are not too chubby) or is there some secret way out there that makes typing on iphone a breeze?
That's pretty much it! Would love to hear what you love about your iphone and what solutions you could suggest to work around those issues mentioned above.
Most likely--apple/AT&T store, here I come! (will probably get this as a going-back to work pressie for myself!) :-)

Let me first say I love what's going on with Grandma Betty, the Indiana octogenarian turned Instagram star. When Betty was diagnosed with terminal cancer, her great-grandson Zach opened an account (@grandmabetty33) to chronicle her journey. More than 309,000 followers later, what started as a project for friends and family has turned into a worldwide sensation. I just love that the bond between a great-grandmother and her teenage great-grandson, more than 60 years her junior, has inspired an outpouring of …

When Woody says he won a million dollars and has to travel 800+ miles to collect the prize, his …

There's a tendency among us grandpas to control, or at least direct, the lives of our grandchildren, theoretically filtering into their futures what we wish we had accomplished on our own. I see it in relation to my granddaughter Nicole, a gifted painter who, at 27, is working hard to win notice in the art world. She is accomplishing that slowly but too slowly to suit me, so I'm pushing her to ramp up the tempo, to haunt the galleries, …

Grandma's house isn't only a great place to visit. For a growing number of children, it's a great place to move in during bad economic times. A new report from the Pew Research Center, "At Grandmother's House We Stay", found that grandparents were the primary caregivers for more than 3 million children in 2011, a 20 percent increase from a decade earlier. According to Pew, those numbers surged between 2007 and 2009, in the midst of the Great Recession. Contest: …

EXTRA OLD, in its category, is the reference of the rum world. It is a masterful blend of the finest, aged spirits, selected attentively amongst the oldest reserves with a resulting maturity of 17 years. The force of its oak aromas is softened by its sweet, fruity notes, reminiscent of pastry and bananas. Easily identified thanks to its traditional label and its malt whisky type bottle, its magnificent luminosity, dark amber colour and extreme clarity are the key qualities of this rum. The result of many years of meticulous development, EXTRA OLD has received several Grand Gold Medals and Trophies from the highly respected International Institute for Quality competition.
APPEARANCE: Colour - Brilliant amber-brown; Clarity - Brilliant luminescence
AROMA: First nose : good oak level, dry, good balance of fragrances, moderate intensity of general aroma
Second nose : evidently sweeter and more aromatic than on first nose. The predominant aroma is the rich, mellow, oak character, which is in perfect balance with the sweet, fruity notes and light banana-type aroma of a well matured double distilled rum, Light, burnt-wood character, Subtle sugar cane note
TASTE: Light-bodied, excellent level of well-digested wood character which harmonizes well with the aroma, exceedingly smooth

As per reports, it has been revealed that a Turkish patient, who underwent quadruple limb transplant, has lost his life at Hacettepe University Hospital, Ankara. It was the world's first quadruple limb transplant, but it could not turn out to be complete success.
There was a team of 200 doctors, who attached two legs and then two arms to Sevket Cavdar. Doctors said that it is quite disheartening to know that they have lost a patient on whom they worked so hard.
The transplant operation continued for 90 hours, but the patient, who was admitted in the intensive care unit after the surgery suffered metabolic imbalance and later died. Professor Murat Tunce, who was also part of the operation team, said "We are in deep sorrow of losing our patient despite the ceaseless efforts of nearly 200 doctors and health personnel for about 90 hours".
Everything changed in just couple of days as earlier when surgery news was publicized then all the medical fraternity was congratulating the doctors working at Hacettepe University Hospital for their efforts.
Health Minister Recaps Akdag was of the view that he would like to congratulate the team on behalf of all the Turkish people. However, the death news has turned the tables completely.

Turner helping lead Harrison's golf team to the top of the state rankings
Warriors now No. 1 after Hall of Fame Invitational win
There is virtually no drama in Alex Turner's game. He does everything in his power to maintain a steady hand around the golf course.
"I have known Alex for a very long time," said first-year Harrison High School boys' golf coach Josh Dahmer. "He's very consistent and doesn't make huge mistakes. If he does make a mistake, he doesn't lose his composure."
Turner shot an even-par 72 in placing second at the Hall of Fame Invitational last Saturday at Rock Hollow Golf Club near Peru.
Memorial's Nick Ahlers carded a 73 to finish third individually.
As a team, Harrison shot a 298 to win the prestigious tournament title by 11 strokes. After beating six other teams in the invitational who were also ranked in the top 10, the Warriors leapt from No. 4 to No. 1 in the latest Indiana High School Golf Coaches Association state poll released on Friday.
Turner, an all-stater who has signed with the University of Evansville, considers the high ranking a good kind of pressure.
"Last year I put too much pressure on myself and it made it hard at state," he said. "We've all done that. Now we know how good we are and we're
not going to let it get to us. We're trying to stay humble and let our playing do the talking. We've learned how to do that."
Harrison, which plays a dual match at Jasper today, finished eighth at state last year after a seventh-place finish in 2010. The core group of seniors Turner, Jordan Wildt, Sean Stone and Tanner Mandel has starred on the varsity for three years.
"All have excellent ability," Dahmer said. "All have shown great leadership skills in mentoring our freshmen. All have a fantastic work ethic and all of them have the drive to persevere through adversity."
Advancing to state the past two years has helped the Warriors gain considerable knowledge and experience, Turner said.
"Our sophomore year no one expected us to go there and we did," he said. "We went last year and finished eighth. We didn't play that well. Now we all know what we need to do. I think the win at Rock Hollow showed how good we are and what we're made of."
Dahmer, who has also served as Harrison's girls' golf coach the past three years, noted that golf is different from other sports.
"This is a team that was already together and they've been together for a long time," he said. "They really have a consistent goal, a goal to go as far as they possibly can."
Keeping a level head is what it's all about, Turner said. "You have to keep your composure. As soon as it creeps into your head, it's over from there. A round can really go downhill."

Godfrey Rust
Dear Son - Poem by Godfrey Rust
Before you're old enough to answer back,
I thought I'd better get in the advice
a parent is supposed to give.
By the time you're five years old,
you'll know your dad is always right.
At eight you'll know your dad's usually right.
At twelve you'll know your dad is sometimes right.
At sixteen you'll know,
with devastating certainty,
your dad was never right about a single thing in his entire life.
You'll be convinced there was a mix-up at the hospital.
You couldn't be genetically linked
to anyone with such appalling dress sense
and disastrous taste in music.
But that's all right.
By twenty-five you'll realise
he wasn't quite as hopeless as you'd thought,
and by the time you pack him off
to the Sunnydays Home for the Chronologically Gifted
you'll almost have grown fond of the old fool.
So before this tiny window of opportunity
slams shut on my fingers,
here's something you ought to know.
Parenting's not easy.
Even the word sounds like
it's on probation from a social worker's handbook.
It was much simpler once.
Dads went out to work,
while mums stayed home and looked after the kids.
There was a canny granny
who knew a thing or two about colic
and could wield a nappy pin without malicious damage.
Now mum's fulfilled by holding down a job,
and dad's a new man rushing home to change the babygros,
and both collapse at half past nine each night,
racked with guilt and haunted by the ghosts of their inadequacy
because Mum's not Anita Roddick
and isn't running a small but profitable chain of underwear boutiques,
and Dad's not Richard Branson
(and frankly looks awful in those chunky sweaters) .
Help, though, is at hand.
For godparents we have Mothercare
and the Early Learning Centre,
and lots of good advice
from educationalists, psychologists, anthropologists
and out-of-work sociologists.
All of whom suggest we don't interfere.
Well, I'm going to.
But the advice I'd like to give
is not the things at seventeen I swore
I'd never say to my kids.
Like Stop making all that noise,
or Don't speak until you're spoken to!
(When you're older you might reflect
on what would happen if everyone obeyed that last instruction.)
That sort of advice is for the benefit of grown-ups
who'd like to judge you by appearances,
and want you to stay securely in your cot
where they can keep a watchful eye on you.
But I'm going to be your role model.
Tough, I know, but we'll have to make the best of it.
I'll try to show you
some useful things that I've been shown myself.
It isn't what you do that counts,
but how you do it.
So if you really want to dye your eyebrows turquoise,
or set your heart on crossing the Gobi Desert on a camel,
or even become an accountant,
that's ok.
It isn't who you are that gets you anywhere,
but who you follow.
So don't be too concerned if,
when your childhood's done,
your end-of-term report says your achievements are quite limited.
You think two and two can make five.
You suppose the kingdom of heaven
has a place in geography.
You mistake history for literature
because In the beginning was the word.
You believe relativity has something to do
with keeping a sense of proportion.
And in philosophy you hold the eccentric view
that questions may somewhere have answers.
All in all you will be quite ill-adjusted
to the expectations of society.
And if that's the verdict then, dear son,
I think that both of us can say
we've come through pretty well.

This is a good thing, with all sensitivity to those losing their jobs........the lack of competition in the ranks of the elite in higher education is disgraceful......virtually no other "industry", ou more »

This loss to Maine is embarrassing and reflects poorly on the program, but why does it seem to also energize BC-haters? The hate-filled rhetoric is even more pathetic than the loss. Please get a life, more »

I'm pretty easy going and open minded. I try to see things through "Glass Half Full" eyes and make the best of any situation. Going out or staying in, as long as you're with the right person, it doesn't matter. I'm hoping to meet a woman close to my own age, who is intelligent, has a sense of humor(but also can be serious if need be), optimistic, easy going, stable, affectionate, passionate. I'm not looking for a quick hookup but just one special woman that I can share a mutual attraction and "click" with...and if there is that spark of chemistry there, we can see where it takes us and hopefully have a solid foundation to build upon...ultimately, I hope to meet someone who will make me want to take this profile down and delete it for good... The things I like are many and varied. I'm a big movie fan with "Apocalypse Now" my all time favorite. Other faves are "Excalibur", "Quest for Fire" and "Heat". I don't have a particular type as a favorite. I think any genre of film can be good when it's well made. Music: Different types of music, depending on what I'm in the mood for. I listen to alot of 80s era(since I was growin' up then) From New Wave/Punk (Bowie/Oingo Boingo/Suburban Lawns/Black Flag/Social Distortion) to New Age instrumental (Vangelis/Tangerine Dream) and alot in between. I've also always been a fan of movie soundtracks and certain conductors (Hans Zimmer/Joeseph LoDuca/Graeme Revell) TV Shows: I think HBO has a pretty good lineup. I've recently become a fan of "Boardwalk Empire" and "Game of Thrones"...two shows with many good characters and story telling, with very talented actors to play the many parts. I loved "Rome", and was sad that it only lasted 2 seasons due to its big budget. Foods are pretty easy as I like most types. Mexican, Italian, Americana, etc. I'm up for trying most types (as long as it isn't too spicy, LOL...I always get mild salsa at Mexican restaurants). Other things I like: Seashells, cheesecake(yep, I have a weakness for it), football, a good fire in my fireplace(especially on a rainy night), a physically affectionate woman(...how she holds your hand, takes your arm, leans into you, resting her head against your shoulder, wrapping her arms around your neck for a great hug...I know this sounds obvious, but I thought I'd mention it anyways...after all, it is one of my favorite things and the reason why I'm here). Disc-golf. For a little while now, I've been experimenting/learning how to cook...I make a pretty decent lasagna and am an apt quesadilla maker, LOL. These are a few of the things I like and I'm open to other activities as well. Think it would be fun to discover new activities to do together. I'm a firm believer in the "Golden Rule", treating others how you wish to be treated, and hope you would be as well. Thanks for stopping by and best of luck to you all in your search.
Football, Other types of exercise
Middle of the Road
The coastal areas-Newport, Huntington and Laguna beaches. Nature trails. These are a few.
Not enough room here, see the "About Me and Who I'm Looking For" box above.
Hikes:Nature Trails and along the coast(Love that ocean air), or riding my bike in those areas, trying out new restaurants, kayaking, reading, movies on the silver screen, disc-golf, home improvement-type projects.
The last book I read is titled, "Fallen Angels" It's the 11th book in a series with many different characters. A very different and interesting read.
