An elderly neighbor gave us a gift to give our 3 year old DD, a set of seven Barbie-like dolls that are all Disney princesses. This isn't the exact set but it's a lot like this: http://tinyurl.com/2bezbjw . They have big breasts and small waists, and some of them have skimpy tops that are already falling off inside the packages.
The neighbor showed us the dolls before she wrapped them. DD doesn't know that she's been "given" this gift.
I would choose not to give DD Barbie dolls -- I didn't have any as a child thanks to my feminist mom. She's never seen a Disney movie so she doesn't know these characters. She hasn't (yet) learned about the princess craze -- princess games aren't really part of her repertoire at this point.
It would be easy to write the neighbors a nice thank you note and quietly make the dolls disappear. Or to give her just one doll and put the rest away to decide what to do with them at some later time.
I also realize that lots of kids play quite creatively with dolls that some adults fine "problematic." So I don't believe that just giving her these dolls would be the downfall of her childhood.
What would you do?
I resisted Disney and anything like Barbie until DD was about 3.5, when it became clear it was pretty much futile. We don't watch TV, but when DD become more interested in playing with friends, she thought their Barbies/Disney stuff was so cool. I have become much more relaxed about that kind of thing, and even bought the dvd Barbie Diamond Castle. She has a collection of both Only Hearts dolls (cloth dolls, Barbie size, that aren't sexualized) and some Barbie dolls and some Disney dolls.
I held the line for a long time against those things-- but I've made my peace with them, now. My girls have stuff like that, and play with it sometimes, but spend way more time on other things. They don't really watch all the TV and movies that go with them, so when they do play with them, their play is not limited by somebody else's ideas of what the characters are. I don't buy the stuff myself, but I allow them to accept them as gifts from other people. It's working for us so far-- my DDs are 6 and 3 now.
It's hard.
For us, because I favour connection to community and honesty over protection from branded merchandise, I would give her the dolls. I wouldn't want to be standing on the street in the new year with the neighbour asking my child "do you love the dolls I gave you?" and having to navigate that.
That said, I would see if they were being played with. If it were a lot a lot I think I would start talking about our values and finding substitutes. If they weren't at all, I'd get rid of them three months down the road.
I'm not suggesting this is the best response, just sharing what mine would be. This is the approach we took with a V-Tech gaming thing my son got. We really appreciated the thought but had had no intention of introducing video games at 3. So we put it on top of the TV but didn't really plug it in. My son did ask about it so we plugged it in and let him try it, and then unplugged it again and...I think he's only played with it once in the 2 years since. (I should fess up though and point out he plays some iPod games now and has been for a few months. We're not hard core no on the issue.)
If he'd been asking to play all the time we would have set limits or gotten rid of it. Actually I should get rid of it...
My idea:
- Thank neighbors very much and sincerely. That WAS very kind of them.
- Make dolls disappear (return to store if possible)
- Get dolls you're ok with
- Give to DD and tell her they are a gift from the neighbors
- If neighbors ask DD how she likes her dolls, she will be able to answer that she does
- Any issue on the doll names (like neighbor wants to know if she likes Ariel or Snow White the best) can just be addressed by stating truthfully that DD doesn't know the character names. Which is true. So your DD can say she likes "Rose" or "Tricia" the best, no problem.

I'd thank the neighbor. To me, the feelings of my neighbors are more important than a temporary toy.
I'd let her play with them. At age three, they will end up in the tub soon, the clothes will be lost, and they lose their attraction and mystery pretty soon. It's a hard toy for three year olds to play with. Which means you have to dress the same doll EVERY NINE MINUTES, because all the child wants to do is take the clothes off.

WAHSM to Ani (7) and Juddah (18mo.)
Ha anyone found any good Barbie/Disney Princess substitutes? I asked my DD what she like about Barbie (which she plays with at the daycare at the Y), she told me she like their "Pretty Dresses" and that their cloths are changeable. I told her we would find some dolls within those parameters (she understands that we are not big on plastic toys around here). Any cloth, wood, non-commercial ideas?? Thanks!

I haven't found any good substitutes that DD likes as much. We have tried the only hearts club dolls and she really prefers the hard plastic dolls.

We have Barbie's and some Disney things...but if your DD didn't ask for it and doesn't seem attached I'd send the thank you note and then make them disappear.
If DD really wants something, and it's important to her, and age appropriate, like having a Barbie, I'm not going to judge her and I'll happily buy it. But I don't ever feel the need to allow it be pushed on her, you know? Just because it was gifted, doesn't mean it's appropriate for her at this age.
But, from the other side of the fence, if DD, now 5, expresses to me that she's interested and would enjoy a toy, I'll listen and accomodate.
It's a toy. Mostly she doesn't even play with toys! So I don't give them too much power.
I'd give her the toys. My mom got something like this for my dd last year and though it's definitely not something I would have bought for her, she LOVES them. She especially loves to take their clothes off and put them on each other. So you could get some better, less skimpy clothes for her to dress them in if you want. She does pretend they are princesses going to a ball and whatnot, she also pretends they go to work, go to school, go camping, go surfing, take care of their babies, etc.
Give them to her. that's the thing about gifts -- you can't really choose what other people give your children. You may suggest, but you can't choose.
Dd got a Barbie of some sort from a relative the year she turned 3 (or 4?). She played with it for a bit, but then lost interest. They're really pretty boring dolls. And if she doesn't know the stories, then they'll just act out whatever doll play she's interested in, which isn't a bad kind of play. I find the Disney Princesses problematic because the toys tend to encourage the kids only to act out the Disney story. But as just dolls, meh. As someone else said, she'll rip the clothes, bathe the dolls, lose the shoes and they'll soon lose their appeal.
Yeah, they're unrealistically proportioned. My sister made that the hill she was going to die on until she realized that the "wholesome" replacement she'd instituted had the exact same proportions. True, the clothing was more modest, but the rest was the same. And many dolls are unrealistically proportioned. My dd plays with Playmobil all the time. The people there are completely flat chested, and the only way to tell males from females is usually the hairstyle and the clothes. I don't think my daughter is growing up to see that as her ideal.

How very thoughtful of your neighbor.
I would either give her the gift and let her enjoy them or I would just tell the neighbor that DD isn't allowed to play with that sort of thing and return it to the neighbor. I think hiding the dolls or switching the dolls is a bad idea and likely to be found out by the neighbor which just opens a whole bad can of worms.
That's a toughy. I'm pretty anti-Barbie and wish I wouldn't have played with them so much as a child. I do think they affected the way I thought about and looked at things. Anyway, if I did give them to her, I would definitely have them wearing different clothes than the ones they came in if they were inappropriate.

I would have more of a problem with the quantity than the Barbie-ness (though before 2 dds I would have said the opposite). I would show her the set and let her pick one to play with and put the rest away. Then see how it's treated and loved before deciding on what to do with the rest, but would still probably keep it to one or two at a time.
My vote is to give her the gift from the neighbor. How nice of the elderly neighbor to think of your daughter!
Unless your jusr dead set against them I'd give them.. I've over the years have learned that my "adult" view is just not at all anywhere near what my child sees and honestly I can do her a HUGE diservice assuming shes sees things the same way..
I know with my DD at 3 a princess doll was just that a princess doll didn't matter if it was disney or dollar tree if the doll had boobs or even if it had a face (waldroff was jsut as princess as her Ariel doll) And yes they all learn the names and such regardless of being a disney family or not.. LOL
And on a personal note we pretty much got the whole disney doll collection they were speical for maybe a month???? they have been abandoned ever since.

Yeah that. They're just toys. I'm pretty picky about toys myself for various reasons. I have older boys and I've kept them away from the violent "ugly" scary Bioncle and fighting monster superhero this and that...but they still somehow know who Spiderman is after a neighbor gave my oldest a Spiderman pillow....sure enough they played "fight and dead" with it, never having ever seen a Spiderman movie etc. I have a 5 month old dd so I have been thinking about Barbie. I think it's no big deal if you keep it low key. Some people go all out with the cars and houses and every thing in the Disney collections. Just play with them with your daughter like you know nothing about Disney stuff. Just maybe read the fairy tales, the non Disney versions, and some play can be had from that alone. If you are really against it then you may have to fess up to your neighbor or if you can't do that maybe donate the toys.
I played with barbies and I honestly doubt my childhood or my feminist self was injured in any way.

I agree.
I say give her the dolls. It was very kind of your neighbor, and I think returning them on the sly has the potential for hurt feeling, which doesn't seem worth it. I've given up the struggle against the whole princess thing, despite being fervently anti-Disney. My DD uses barbies and princess dolls for all kinds of pretend play, it is not limited to the princess stories AT ALL. However, she can also make silverware at a restaurant have conversations, so that's just the way she is. I played with a barbie as a kid and never wanted to look like her, so I'm not worried about that aspect of it.
I think you should give her the dolls if it is something that you vaguely felt you wouldn't do because your mom didn't rather than something you are adamantly against because you genuinely believe that it will cause her to hate her body. I was raised with lots of Barbie in a fundamentalist church with a mother who was not a feminist until a few years ago when she started taking classes on it for college, and I still turned out to be a feminist and have always been far more liberal than my mom. I don't think that the presence of absence of a doll guarantees that your child will take in your values. I started out parenting being against Barbies, something my mother says all moms do (even she did), but they were something my dd really loved seeing in the store and she wanted one from the age of one, I finally got her one when she was three as a weaning present. It sounds like you are on the fence about Barbie anyways so if you don't give them I suggest writing the card then saving them just in case because the Disney princesses are a little pricey and it may be nice to have them if your dd does get wildly into Barbie dolls and you want to give her something that you know she will really like at that point.
We don't do Disney, Barbie or anything branded really. If you don't like them, just write a thank you letter and donate them :)

Responding to this post because my 4.5 y.o. DD will receive a similar Disney Princess doll set from my IL's as a holiday gift. DD asked for it specifically after seeing it in a Target catalog while having lunch with them a few weeks ago. I rolled my eyes when I heard about DD's gift request, but bit my tongue. Yeah, I wish she'd asked for something else, but hey, at least she won't ask me to get them for her!
Though DD is interested in Disney Princess stuff, she also loves tarantulas, mud puddles, train sets, and lots of other non-princessy things... she's a pretty well-rounded kid! I think this is true of the majority of girls who own Princess merch.
what's the big deal with dolls and princesses anyway? my daughter is 4.5 and has been playing with all sorts of dolls for several years already. she is *not* into "princess" play like so many little girls are. this has nothing to do with how i've raised her (i don't think) -- she's just more of a rough-and-tumble kind of girl. she knows about princesses b/c so many of her friends love the princess stuff. but my DD loves Dora and Diego and their always on the go adventures.
her pretend play includes dolls and stuffed animals. she incorporates whatever "props" are on hand. she is veryvery creative in her approach to things, always pretending something is something else, for example she will take a scarf and fold it into a sleeping bag for her dolls, a bed, a car seat strap, whatever is on her mind. i love to see her playing this way! she entertains herself for hours when she really gets into it, and i think it's awesome! if i'm just putzing around, putting clothes away or straightening up while she's playing, and i act totally casual, sometimes i get to here her little "conversations" that she makes between the characters, and it's all so sweet and nice. i can't emphasize enough how awesome i think it is!
so to me the princess dolls are just another "prop" in her "toolbox" of toys. she has a similar set of princess dolls, like the ones you described. they are at the top of her closet. she has occasionally asked for me to take them out (i have to reach them, they and many of her toys are in ziplock bags up high), and has had tea parties with her oversized for the dolls size tea set. it's all innocent, and it's all good.
soon enough, too soon, i'm sure she'll be on to other things and leave this kind of pretend play behind. but i think it's really good for her, draws on her own imagination, and gives her a chance to act out her own values.
oh, and i played barbies with my friends growing up and i grew up to be a pretty confident feminist type. i have no regrets about it, it was a pretty big part of my pretend play too.
My 11 year old girl and 8 year old boy are both feminists - both are attuned to, identify and object to the -isms: racism, sexism, agism, and are very attuned to advertisers' techniques. I wrung my hands about barbies etc when DD was younger, and had a few minor cardiac episodes during the princess phase. My approach was to raise her with our values and to not fight too hard about the dolls and princess stuff as I figured the forbidden fruit would be made all the sweeter. She had a couple of barbies, saw some of the princess movies, had some princess gear. She's now a kick @ss 11 year old with self-confidence and reasonable expectations. :)
I'd give them to her and remain neutral on the topic with her. When she's playing with them and dresses them up and asks your thoughts, "yes, that dress is very pretty!" but otherwise ignore them. The kids like Star Wars and that stuff - not my cup of tea, but I can show basic interest because it's what they're interested in.
Mom to a teenager and a middle schooler.
aaaaaah mama this is a hard place to be.
i recall feeling your way when dd was 3. now that i have parenting under my belt for 8 years i am wiser and more confident about making some decisions.
so here is what matters to me. people matter to me more than anything. and i have seen the result it has had on my dd. i have allowed things to happen which were big NO NOs in my books - for that relationship. i allowed my 82 year old neighbour give my dd an ounce of watered down pepi si when dd was 18 months old. i tried really hard to stop it but i couldnt. i could have cut off ties but i chose not to and ignore the pepsi. neighbour moved when dd was 2 into a alzheimer's home. we never saw her agian. she moved far away. 6 years later my dd remembers her ''gma' very, very clearly and she still recalls the love she felt from her. it was truly magical. we see so little fo this kind of connection these days that i was grateful for that blessing. in fact because gma knew i didnt approve of pepsi, she sneaked it and i think that's the most important thing that dd remembers. i wouild knowingly ignore the pepsi.
with toys i did not encourage dd but didnt try to keep them away from her either. dd was going to dc so i knew there were too many influences out there. plus i was confident in a strange sort a way. i always felt what was more important was my actions - not other things. my dd got barbies. she played with them for a while and then was done. as another mama wrote it was exactly what happened. the clothes came off, they went into the bathtub and soon enough she lost interest. i have noticed with my dd though - even at 3, the best way to get a no reaction was to say yes. the moment i said no it became a big thing and she wanted to do it again and again.
so really this is crunch time. its time to figure out your philosophy. this is my favourite thing about parenting. do what you feel is true to your heart. if it really wrenches your heart to give your dd the dolls then dont. but if you dont see the big deal then give it to her.
you know one thing i have noticed - now that dd is 8 - what has a huge impact on her life - is my openenss and how i choose to live life. she truly gets the core issues. today i am still the biggest influence in her life. not toys, not commercials, not tv. me - not my words, but my actions.

Chivalry isn't dead; it just isn't practiced by most.
So I?m not 100% sure about this whole thing but, I figured I would give it a try. I'm pretty open in who I'm looking for, and hope to find someone who I can relate to, get along with, and just be myself around. I like to do a lot of outdoor things, like camping, sailing, and I love to have a good time. I always hanging out with my friends, having a drink or too, and just relaxing for a bit. But on the other hand, I don't mind staying in and just watching a movie. I have some random characteristics that make me basically who I am. I'm pretty good at fixing things, almost anything that has the ability to break. I also love to build, and plan on designing and building my own house one day. I'm a really big movie buff too, and will watch almost anything. Another thing that stands out in my personality is my sense of humor. It changes, in that I get and laugh at most things; its dry, sarcastic, but also friendly. I'm an easy guy to get along with and my sense of humor has a lot to do with that because I can relate to a lot of people, but I also know how to act appropriate when I have to and be serious when the situation calls for it. Family and my faith are both very important aspects in my life, so I'm looking for someone who values these as much as I do and can share that with.
Camping , Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Cycling, Football, Golf, Hockey, Martial arts, Skiing, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs, Fish, Horses
I have always had cats and a dogs growing up
NYC, and Boston are always a good time. My family lives in FL so I spend some there occasionally. And a good beach town never disappoints.

I'm a big fan of any medical/crime dramas. Ill watch pretty much anything. I love a good funny movie with friends or catching a Broadway show.
I'm pretty much up for anything. I'm an easy going kinda guy. I like hanging out with my friends and having a good time. I like to go to the beach, sport games, or sailing on the bay.

From the Pastor's Desk
Fr. Dan White, S.J.
May 31, 2015
Today we celebrate confirmation for the young people of our parish. We have a large group of confirmandi who will receive the sacrament from Bishop Rice. They will receive the abundance and gifts of the Holy Spirit. I could say something about their commitment to our Catholic faith, but far better to let them speak for themselves. Please read (in today's bulletin) the faith statements the confirmandi have written. They are wonderful expressions of faith, hope and love.
Previous Notes
God's blessing upon all to be confirmed, their sponsors, parents, family, friends, and the entire College Church community. May all of us continue to respond with generous hearts to the Holy Spirit at work in us.

Graphic Design at AAU anyone?
Hey Guys!
I've read the earlier thread about AAU...
But I was wondering if anyone have/is studying Graphic Design at Academy of Art University?
I'll be start studying Spring 2008, and I'm an international student.
Do you have any advice... or anything you can tell me about the program/ the university/ about the people who goes there/ the courses... or even about San Francsico...? ANYTHING I'll really appreciate it a lot!
Oh, by the way...
what is the additional cost except the tutition and course fee?
and how much money in total would I be needing if I'll come.
Then I'm thinking about the living cost (I wont' be living at campus)...?

This is the fourth special Orange County section that The Journal has produced this year. Despite our brief and unsuccessful entry into Orange County two years ago, we decided that the community there is too vibrant, and too important not to serve.
This time, we intend to stay in the business of serving Orange County indefinitely.
The reasons are obvious: As our set of articles about Orange County this past August showed, the region is fast becoming a center of Jewish growth and innovation. Even as Los Angeles struggles to save its Jewish Community Centers, the JCC of Orange County is thriving. As many day schools in Los Angeles fight for scarce funds, Tarbut V'Torah has grown immensely, due to the largesse of local donors and hard-working staff and lay leaders.
These are success stories that need to be recognized and shared with the larger Jewish community.
Another reason for our involvement has to do with the distance between Orange County and Los Angeles: it's great, but not that great. A regular weekly is one way to keep in touch with what's happening in all parts of your community: from births and deaths to trends and controversies. It's no coincidence that the words community and communication share the same root: it's impossible to have one without the other.
We on the staff of The Journal have family and friends in Orange County (some of our best friends...). Rabbis and other Jewish lay and professional leaders in both communities are in close contact. Families in Los Angeles might very well want to enjoy the Bowers Museum and its groundbreaking Holy Land exhibit, as my family did last month, and families in Orange County might want to drive up on a Sunday to participate in Jewish events here.
The fact is, whether we live in Conejo Valley or South Orange County, Malibu or Pasadena -- all places The Journal distributes -- we share many of the same opportunities, hopes and challenges.
A growing Jewish community can only benefit from an independent Jewish press. Since The Journal was founded 15 years ago, we have strived to live up to our mission of serving the entire Jewish community through the practice of independent journalism. We are excited to bring this effort to Orange County. We hope you will join us by subscribing, by advertising, by letting us know what you want out of your Jewish Journal and, most important, by reading our paper -- your paper -- on a regular basis.
We welcome your feedback.

4 indicted in corruption probe of S Calif. county
Over the objections of county counsel and private attorneys retained by the county, Postmus, Biane and Ovitt voted to pay the $102 million settlement to Colonies on Nov. 28, 2006. Two supervisors on the five-member board voted against the settlement.
Postmus, Biane, Kirk and Erwin each received $100,000 bribes and used political action committees to hide them, the indictment said.
Postmus was a county supervisor from 2000 until 2007, when he became the county tax assessor. He resigned in February 2009. In March, he pleaded guilty to 14 felony counts, including conspiracy to accept a bribe and conflict of interest, and agreed to cooperate in the investigation, the attorney general's office said.
If convicted, the defendants could face prison sentences from six to 14 years.

Cold, dry weather expected in Evansville as year draws to an end
EVANSVILLE - Thanks to a cold front that moved through the region during the day on Sunday, Monday's high might not even break the 30-degree mark.
According to the current National Weather Service forecast, the mercury is expected to only reach 29 degrees — certainly not a surprising chilly high for Dec. 30 in Evansville, but still about 12 degrees below normal. After achieving a high temperature of 49 degrees just after noon on Sunday, Mother Nature started to put the chill on the Tri-State. According to weather service statistics, it was 34 degrees at 3 p.m. at the Evansville Regional Airport and 27 degrees just before midnight — Sunday's official low. At 6 a.m., this morning the temperature was even colder — it was 22 degrees at the airport, the weather service reported. Mostly sunny skies are expected today, and tonight's low is expected to dip into the lower 20s.
Tuesday is expected to be a bit warmer, the predicted high should reach the mid-30s under sunny conditions. On Wednesday, the temperature is expected to continue the warming trend push into the mid-40s during the first day of 2014, but there is a chance of rain or snow that night, according to the forecast.

I am worried about this series. At the end of the broadcast Sunday it was mentioned Goerge Grande would be doing this series. I doesn't seem like he has announced a winning Reds game this season. :eek:
I can't figure this out. With five announcers (Thom, Marty, Chris, The Cowboy, and Kelch), where is there room for George and why? I listened to Charlie Steiner call the Dodger-Pirates game last night and parts of the White Sox game on TV. IN both cases, the announcer was a homer, but professional. George is, at best, a baseball fan, who gives credit for the opposition's great feats. Something I do not want to hear when I'm rooting for the Reds, I guess the ownership likes him, but I'd just as soon he went away to the retirement home, which is what I thought was going to happen. Yes, we have Marty, but not so much anymore, but there hasn't been a time he wasn't rooting for the Reds. Just like Vince Scully, you know who's side Marty is on. I never know with George...
I really wish they would retroactively DL Rolen. Going without a player for a few days is one thing, but going shorthanded when you are already running with a skeleton crew is tough. The Reds like to let a guy linger day-to-day long enough that they would almost be done with a DL stint when they are ready to return.
I doubt Rolen will be out much longer. If they expect him to be out much more, I do think the Reds would have DL'd him. Maybe he can pinch hit tonight.
Henry Rodriguez has been slumping at AAA, I don't know the Reds have a natural replacement for third base. They could add a first baseman and play Frazier at third. Reds may prefer Valdez at third because of defense.
With RADickey tomorrow, Reds certainly could use this first game. Third game they face rookie Harvey, good stuff, mixed results so far. Lot of Ks, lot of walks.
For tomorrow, against Dickey, I'd guess Xavier Paul will play for Ludwick; as will Cairo instead of Valdez. I'd also guess Stubbs will sit for Heisey.

Gear Review
Very nicely organized
I love my new backpack. I especially like the bottom compartment for storing my gym clothes and shoes separately. The front compartment is handy for slipping in things I want easy access to. The side netting for water bottles seems good and sturdy too, which I like. The inside holds all my things so they are organized and easy to find. I use my pack daily during the week. I wish the bottom of the pack was flatter, but that's only a minor complaint--adjusting my belongings in the bottom compartment helps with that.

The public's outcry in opposition to the Palmetto Pipeline has been clear. Voters don't want it and don't think it is needed. And the public doesn't trust the company that wants to build it.
Dear public-school teachers in Georgia: Congratulations on surviving another year in the classroom.
Editor, Recently, in letters to the editor, some have questioned U.S. Congressman Buddy Carter's loyalty with respect to eminent domain and the Palmetto Pipeline.
It was at lunch after a morning revival service last summer that a few of us sat around, munching on Southern casseroles and talking about one of the most memorable mothers any of us had ever known.
There are organizations that estimate the value of the average volunteer, like www.independentsector.org, which currently values their time at $22.55 an hour.
Editor, State Rep. Valencia Stovall, D-Lake City, was "right on" concerning the need for the Opportunity School District legislation (Coastal Courier op-ed, Wednesday, May 6). If you look who is objecting to this legislation, I am sure you will find the self-serving teachers' union. They object to anything that will improve our children's education if it means they will not control the schools and add to their coffers.
Working moms are the bedrock of so many Georgia families. Between raising kids, contributing to their communities and holding down one or more jobs, moms put in a lot more than a full day's work.
Editor, National Small Business Week was May 4-9, but the must-attend event for small business entrepreneurs this month is the Mayor's Small Business Conference on May 20.
You are going to have to give me a little scat room today. I am having an attack of the nostalgias. Going down someone else's Memory Lane can be as boring as a lecture on the life cycle of guppies, but this has been a reflective few weeks for me. My beloved Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communications at the University of Georgia and the campus chapter of my college fraternity, Lambda Chi Alpha, both celebrated their 100th anniversaries this past month in Athens.
On May 22, my youngest child will graduate from high school, and I am ecstatic to see her turn that tassel and move on to her next chapter in life.
Once on "The Andy Griffith Show," Ernest T. Bass tried to join the Army. Several times, Barney says comically, "He's a nut!"
Someone asked the question, "Is Buddy Carter beholden to oil?" Would approximately $400,000 from a super PAC in Texas that represents big-oil interests mean anything? After all, the folks in Texas want Georgia to have good representation in Washington.
April certainly was the month for showers this year.
What if you were told that 95 percent of Georgians are using a product that may not always be the best value for money?
A college education in Georgia just got less affordable. Tuition is rising again in the wake of cuts in state funds for the university system. The HOPE Scholarship covers far less than it used to, and many students do not receive it. A college degree is more important than ever, yet it may be priced out of reach for many students.
The first ozone alert of 2015 was issued June 17 amid 90-degree temperatures in metro Atlanta, a "Code Orange" warning children and "sensitive" individuals to "limit prolonged outdoor exertion."
Georgia summer nutrition programs served about 18,000 more children in July 2014 than in July 2013. That's the good news. The bad news is that these programs still served less than 1 in 6 needy children in 2014, according to a recent report by the Food Research and Action Center.
Creating an attractive Liberty County is good for all of us who live here. Attractive and clean communities attract new businesses and residents, and are healthier places for all of us to grow and thrive.
It happens all the time: Tink will meet someone new around where we live and, invariably, that person will mention my daddy.
"Clerk" is a commonplace term used to describe a variety of vocations, referring to persons who sell goods, wait on customers or engage in any type of clerical work, such as bookkeeping, copying and even running a cash register in a checkout line. Black's Law Dictionary defines "clerk" as the "officer of court who files pleadings, motions, judgments, etc., issues processes and keeps records of court proceedings," thus more aptly describing the functions of the 159 elected clerks of superior court in this state.
Every 67 seconds, someone in the United States develops Alzheimer's disease. By 2050, someone in the United States will develop the disease every 33 seconds.
It has been 31 years since he passed away, and not a day goes by that I don't miss him, especially on Father's Day.
The transportation bill received much attention this past legislative session, and rightfully so. It doesn't take long for one to drive anywhere in Georgia before noticing that our roads, interstates, and bridges are in terrible disrepair.
You may be surprised to learn that people sometimes disagree with me. You may be equally surprised that sometimes I see their point in the disagreement. Sometimes, I agree with that disagreement.
Many years ago, at the conclusion of the longest criminal jury trial in Liberty County's history, I overheard an attorney's son, who sat through several days of presentation of evidence during the trial, tell his father that, of all the jobs of court officials involved, he wanted my job as clerk of superior court.
Are you planning your summer vacation? I hope you don't think you have to toss out all your good green and sustainable habits when you travel!
Editor, The following is written in response to your article on June 10, 2015, discussing the indictment of Crystal Tilley. The Coastal Courier called the City of Walthourville earlier in the week seeking comments on the indictment. Then, as now, it would have been inappropriate for the city to officially comment on this matter. There is an ongoing criminal case, and current city officials and employees may be witnesses or called to give testimony.
Editor, Locked out!

Seeking YPIN Board Members for 2012-13!
The Board of the Young Professionals International Network (YPIN) of the World Affairs Council (WAC) is currently seeking individuals to serve on its programming board for one year, starting in September 2012. YPIN is a fun and dynamic way to be active in the international community in Seattle. Board members gain valuable event planning and leadership experience, along with the opportunity to network with people in the public, private, and non-profit sectors who work in international affairs.
YPIN is looking for passionate, creative, and outgoing individuals to serve as General Program Coordinators on its 2012-2013 Board. YPIN wants to attract members from a variety of backgrounds. Marketing and communications experience is a bonus, as a significant focus of YPIN's work is dedicated to growing membership and getting the word out about events.
YPIN is led by a Board of young professionals in the greater Seattle area from diverse backgrounds. Members range from foreign-born Americans to those who just like to learn more about the world around them. Many members speak different languages, have traveled or lived abroad, and enjoy hanging out with people with international worldviews. If you love socializing with people who fit this description, and are interested in helping others in the community to engage, you should apply! You won't find a more interesting and fun group of young professionals in Seattle.
General Program Coordinators make up the bulk of our Board members. As a GPC, you will help plan and support YPIN events. GPCs must have the ability to organize and support conventional events (e.g. lectures, small group discussions, social gatherings) as well as envision new events that YPIN has not tackled thus far.
The ideal candidate will be enthusiastic, innovative, and looking to gain board and event-planning experience. It's also great if you have good networks of friends or colleagues who may be interested in international affairs. All GPCs are asked to organize two events per year, as well as assist on a few others. There is no financial requirement to sit the YPIN board, though if you aren't already a member of YPIN, you will be requested to become one.

Re: Official Warhammer Online : Age of Reckoning thread
I've hit rank 23 as a Disciple of Khaine on Azazel. Lots of fun. Graphics are okay but not great and the game gets CPU cycle bound a lot. I was having constant client crashes on Vista but they fixed it at launch (by disabling EAX I believe). Remember to increase AA/AF in the NV control ap since there's very few options in the game interface. Really loving the PvP aspect... despite the GCD, reminds me of old BF days. The scenarios are great and the PQ's are fun when populated. Open RVR seems to go both ways... only rarely do you get matched sized groups... though when you do it turns into a standoff in the middle and flanking battles... but still loads of fun.
Interesting that gamespot got better perf out of ATI and in one case a GTX280 over GTX280 SLI'ed:
Comical that they found going over 2G memory didn't help... but they were running Vista32. Though in my tests it doesn't really get close to 1.5G of use.
Still playing Dungeons and Dragons Online with a group of school friends now in different states. The game is 2 years old but has the same engine (and updates) as LotRO (putting it somewhere between WAR and AOC). It's getting the DX10 LotRO engine and revamping the new player area later this month. Still the best MMO for in depth party PVE and a combat system where you can actually use cover, dodge spells, with no GCD. Sadly the in-depthness and low-pop have kept new content at a snails pace for us beta players.

Bad water kills more children than war
One of the best illustrations of the divide between rich and poor nations is the designation of 2008 as the International Year of Sanitation by the United Nations General Assembly.
The international year aims to highlight the need for urgent action on behalf of the more than 40% of the world's population who continue to live without improved sanitation.
Lack of proper sanitation contributes to the deaths of thousands of men, women and children every day from largely preventable causes, including diarrhoeal diseases.
Though more than 1.2 billion people worldwide gained access to improved sanitation between 1990 and 2004, an estimated 2.6 billion people – including 980 million children – have yet to be reached. This is one of the single biggest development challenges facing the world.
The International Year of Sanitation 2008 was established to accelerate progress towards meeting the Millennium Development Goal of reducing by half the proportion of people living without access to improved sanitation by 2015. In addition, progress on sanitation will contribute to the achievement of all the Millennium Development Goals.
Improved sanitation includes clean, safe toilets, wastewater management and hygiene promotion, all of which prevent the transfer of pathogens in human excreta. When not treated safely, these elements adversely affect health, often depriving children of an education, and impede social and economic development.
The absence of improved sanitation in schools is an underlying factor in absenteeism and poor classroom performance due to illness, low enrolment and early dropout from school, especially for girls whose parents may remove them from the education system when they start menstruating.
Lack of toilets exposes women and girls to violence and abuse, as some females are able to defecate only after nightfall and in secluded areas. Proper sanitation, including hand-washing with soap, averts the spread of diarrhoeal disease, which is the second biggest killer of children under five.
Improving sanitation leads to improved health, dignity, and social and economic development, protects the environment and helps people break the cycle of poverty.
The year will include major regional conferences on sanitation to share best practices and help accelerate progress, including those that focus on school sanitation. It will also help encourage public and private partnerships to help tap
into the comparative strengths of each sector, advocate and raise awareness on sanitation, gain additional funding and develop country-level plans of action.
Additionally, many activities and events were planned inside and outside the UN system surrounding Sanitation and Hygiene Week (15-21 March) and World Water Day (22 March). One such event was UN Water's observance of World Water Day (this year to be celebrated as World Sanitation Day), which took place in Geneva on 14 March and was co-organized by UNICEF, the World Health Organization and the Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council.
We tend to forget how similar sanitation difficulties were overcome in 19th century London.
In a recent article in The Guardian by economics editor Larry Elliott, he noted how Charles Dickens would have felt at home in the streets of today's Dhaka.
As in Victorian times, the shanty towns of Bangladesh's capital reek of excrement dropped from makeshift hanging toilets perched precariously on bamboo stilts a couple of meters above the mire.
However, as Elliott so rightly points out, sanitation is such a low priority that when the UN drew up its original list of Millennium Development Goals to be achieved by 2015, what did not feature was the goal of ensuring that children of slum dwellers in Dhaka could go to the toilet without endangering their lives.
In the west we take clean water and sanitation for granted. Supplying septic tanks and u-bends to Third World countries has never had the emotional appeal of helping starving babies, HIV/Aids patients and children desperate to go to school.
Let us hope that this 2008 focus on sanitation makes some real advances on situations such as that in Dhaka – though there are cities and countries in equally bad shape the world over.

I really like the aesthetic of what you have, however, essentially you made a video with only one static shot. How many other successful videos can you name with the same description?
So I'm saying you need more than this to be interesting. For example maybe one of the plates drops down and we follow it with the camera and theres like a reverse type world underneath this one. Obviously its going to take a lot more work but if you want someone to watch a 5 minute video, you need more than bouncing hexagons.

I think the last 3 comments are a bit unfair to be honest. Though I will agree that it is plain The 2 videos posted above are okay But they're definitely just some camera movements with some fractal thing randomizing the 3d object/s. Especially the first one. It was basically just an edit to the animation instead of the song affecting the animation like the Equalizer.
This 3D equalizer may be plain but to me was more enjoyable watching. Because of the chill down tempo and the fact the equalizer actually looked like an Equalizer. My suggestion is to definitely think of adding camera movements.

Yeah, I am with Pete Hidalgo. I liked it. Nice bit of chill.

The World's Top Executioners
This week's execution of Troy Davis has provoked an international outcry and renewed debate in the United States over the death penalty. With the fifth-most executions per year of any country, America finds itself on a list with some of the world's worst human rights abusers.
- By Joshua E. KeatingJoshua E. Keating is an associate editor at Foreign Policy.
Number of executions: Thousands — reliable statistics are hard to come by.*
The number of executions carried out every year in China is a state secret, but Amnesty International believes that it numbers in the thousands. There are 55 crimes punishable by death in China, including economic crimes like corruption and embezzlement, though a judicial reform carried out this year removed such crimes as issuing false tax invoices, robbing ancient ruins, and smuggling rare animals from the list.
The most common methods of execution are firing squad and lethal injection, though China has been something of a grim innovator on this front, launching a fleet of mobile "death vans" that travel from town to town administering injections.
In a recent high-profile case, China sentenced four Uighur separatists to death for their role in the ethnic unrest that swept through Xinjiang autonomous region in July.
*All figures from Amnesty International unless otherwise noted.
Number of executions: 252 in 2010
Depending on the circumstances, crimes punishable by death in Iran can include fornication, adultery, homosexuality, apostasy, and blasphemy — as well as more traditional capital crimes like rape and murder. The overwhelming number of executions are carried out by hanging. Stoning is theoretically legal for some sexual crimes including adultery, but the policy seems to be under review following the international outcry over the stoning sentence of 43-year-old widow Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani last year; her sentence was eventually reduced to a five-year jail term. Iran also periodically carries out public executions for serious crimes such as rape.
There has been a sharp escalation in the number of people executed in the Islamic Republic this year. Amnesty International believes that at least 320 people were executed in the first six months of 2011 — a rate of nearly two per day. Iran says most of these executions are part of an effort to crack down on drug trafficking — another capital offense — but human rights groups believe the government might also be using execution as a means of intimidation as anti-government protests spread throughout the Middle East.
Iran also has the distinction of being the world's top executioner of children, with dozens on death row. Most recently, a 17-year-old was hanged in public in the city of Karaj on Sept. 21.
Number of executions: 60 in 2010
Like China, the exact number of prisoners killed by the North Korean state is hard to come by — and it's almost certainly higher if you count those who die of illness or malnourishment after being sent to one of the country's massive labor camps. Crimes punishable by death in North Korea include "treason against the Fatherland" and "treason against the people." According to Amnesty International, executions are often carried out even when the crime in question isn't a capital offense under written North Korean law.
Public executions are a hallmark of the North Korean justice system, particularly when they involve officials convicted of embezzlement or smuggling. In 2007, a South Korean aid group reported that a factory chief had been executed by firing squad in a stadium in front of 150,000 spectators for the crime of making international phone calls.
Number of executions: 53 in 2010
Yemen applies the death penalty for a wide range of nonviolent offences, including homosexuality. The country has also been condemned for sentencing defendants under the age of 18 to death — despite the fact that the country's laws prohibit it. Yemen has also carried out death sentences against the mentally ill. Public executions are common, including a widely covered 2009 case in which a man convicted of raping and murdering an 11-year-old boy was shot in front of a crowd in the main square of his hometown.
Since widespread anti-government protests began this year, the government has been accused of carrying out hundreds of extrajudicial killings, many by sniper fire during marches in the capital.
Number of executions: 46 in 2010, 35 so far in 2011
The United States is an extreme outlier in its embrace of the death penalty. It is the only county in the Western Hemisphere that allows capital punishment and the only industrialized democracy that executes more than a handful of people per year. There are more than 3,000 people on death row in the United States, though the appeals process can often take years. Usage varies widely by state. Sixteen states, plus the District of Colombia, prohibit the practice altogether, and several other states almost never apply it. Texas is, by far, the national leader in executions, with 17 carried out in 2010. If Texas were its own country, it would have been tied for eighth in the world with Syria.
The death penalty is a hot-button political issue in the United States, with opponents arguing that it constitutes cruel and unusual punishment — which is prohibited by the U.S. Constitution — and is disproportionately applied against the poor and minorities. The debate re-emerged recently over the case of Troy Davis, a Georgia man who was executed on Sept. 21 for the killing of an off-duty police officer 22 years ago, despite scant physical evidence and the recantation of several witnesses. The Davis case, as well as the execution of a Mexican national in Texas in July, has drawn widespread criticism from the international community.
Some observers believe the Davis case may be a tipping point in the national debate over the death penalty, and the issue is sure to be a topic of discussion in the 2012 presidential race with Texas Gov. Rick Perry in the running.
No other democratic, industrialized country carries out executions on the scale of the United States, but there are a few countries where it is used sparingly. Two convicted killers were executed in Japan in 2010, and 107 people are still on death row. Domestic support for the death penalty remains high despite the opposition of some senior officials. South Korea hasn't carried out an execution for over a decade, though it remains legal; a serial killer convicted of the murders of 10 women was sentenced to death in 2009.
India sentenced two Sikh militants to death by hanging on terrorism charges this year, which would be the country's first executions since 2004. However, executions in the country are so rare that Assam state, where the two men were sentenced, was forced to place a newspaper advertisement for the job of hangman.
Every country in the Americas, with the exception of the United States, and every country in Europe, with the exception of autocratic Belarus, has banned the death penalty.

Anyone have any docs for idiomatic clojurescript for access a javascript object (returned as json, essentially a hash)?
I have a JSON object returned via an AJAX request:
list: [1,2,3,4,5],

o: { answer: 42 }
How do I access these fields using clojurescript?
I can do:
(.-list data)
But how does this work when I have nested values and objects?
(.-answer (.-o data))
The above seems to be quite clumsy, especially given the nice js syntax of: data.o.answer.
What is the idiomatic way of accessing json objects with clojurescript?
I realised that I can actually refer to elements using JS syntax, which is quite handy actually. So the following will work correctly:

This is my 4th Ocean suit and I really like it. The conservative cut comes up higher on my ample bust line and I think overall the cut is a bit more generous than the moderate cut. I don't have the fat pillows on my back bulging out around the straps as I had with the moderate cut suit. These suits last a very long time. The pool I use has a saline system rather than clorine and if your bathing suit is anything but 100% polyester it will fall apart within a few months. The Ocean suits are 100% polyester and last a minimum of a year with 5 day per week use. I rinse it out in the shower, hang it from the shower head to dry and put it back on the next morning for class. They are great suits.

A hook at back would greatly facilitate putting on and taking off.
Swimoutlet needs to make more print suits like this one.....
I was worried the suit would not fit since I usually get long-torso suits, but it fits perfectly. Very happy with the purchase. I've had an Ocean suit before, and been very satisfied with how well it lasted against heavy chlorine.
The only negative comment is that it is very hard to remove the top of the suit. other than that I like the suit
Beautiful suit that seemed about two sizes too small. She is a size five junior and I ordered a size 36 and it was way too small. Great material.
I really liked the fit through the torso but the back crossover was difficult to get into. I should have got a larger size than the one I did. I haven't used it yet in the pool.
This is a great-looking swimsuit and oh so comfortable. I really like it and get compliments on it in water aerobics class.
The suit fits well. I use it for low impact easy Aqua class.
This suit fits great. It is attractive and I get complements on it. I use it in water aerobics and it is great for that too.

Marco Antonio Rubio (born May 28, 1971) is the junior United States Senator from Florida, serving since January 2011. A member of the Republican Party, he previously served as Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives (2007–2009).
Born to Cuban immigrants, Rubio was raised in Miami, Florida, and Las Vegas, Nevada. He attended Tarkio College and Santa Fe Community College before graduating from the University of Florida. He earned his J.D. from the University of Miami School of Law in 1996 while interning for U.S. Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. In the late 1990s he served as a City Commissioner for West Miami. Rubio was elected to the Florida House of Representatives in 2000, representing the 111th House district. He was elected Speaker in November 2006.
Rubio announced a run for U.S. Senate in May 2009 after incumbent Republican Mel Martinez resigned. Initially trailing by double-digits against the incumbent Republican Governor Charlie Crist, Rubio eventually surpassed him in polling for the Republican nomination. Rubio won the Republican nomination after Crist opted instead for an independent run. In a three-way split against Crist and Democratic candidate Kendrick Meek, Rubio won the general election in November 2010 by a 19-point margin.
