So I have a darling 6 mth son who is waking 5-10x/night (sometimes more) and only napping during the day while nursing. He nurses to sleep at night as well and only nursing and rocking will get him back to sleep during the night. *He did sleep 6 hrs consistently from 7-11 weeks when he would allow swaddling and a paci but has since rejected those things. I feel lucky when I get 2 hrs in a row. I am so tired and I am getting the feedback that I am doing him a huge disservice by not teaching him to fall asleep on his own. This is usually followed by sleep training and CIO advice. I want his sleep experience to be positive of course and I don't want to do him wrong, yet I am quite confused about how to gently teach him to fall asleep on his own without the terrible crying episodes. And I would love to be able to put him down for a nap. Anything anyone can share on this situation would be so appreciated.
As for the sleep training advice, oh, I can sympathize!! I get it all the time too. But, like the advice I got for starting solids at 8 weeks old, I let it roll off my back. Also, it helps that my cousin has a son who is exactly one day older than Cecilia. She did sleep train him, and guess what? He's in a regression right now back to the "old way." So there's no guarantee that CIO even will work! Dr. Sears has a great article about why baby sleep is different from adult sleep. I just remind myself all the time that she won't be little forever, and I will miss her tininess greatly when she's a big girl!!

My older dd never went to sleep by herself until she was 2.5 or so. Until then, I nursed her to sleep. Actually, I snuggled with her till she went to sleep for a bit after that even. But sure enough, at 8, she's been going to sleep on her own with no sleep problems for years. She was a very high needs little one and really needed help, and I'm glad I gave her that help. I was sleep trained btw and I have major sleep problems at 43 and have as long as I can remember, so sleep training doesn't necessarily solve them.
My little one has fallen asleep on her own forever. She's an easy little girl. I think sometimes people have easy kids and then write books or give advice assuming everything will go as easily for everyone else if other people do what they do, not realizing that individual personality is such a huge factor in things like sleep, and parenting skillz aren't such a big factor as they think.
Thanks, Aimee. I appreciate the support. The thing with the swaddling is that DS started rolling over (with gusto) at 11 weeks and did it all night long. That was the beginning of our decline. Now he is full on crawling, pulling himself up to standing and cruising in the crib. So I really think we are too far beyond swaddling. What do you think?
My theory has been that his super fast jump to movement was to blame for the major sleep disruption, but every day the theory changes some ;)
Oh, mama, I so hear you. The pain of having a baby who used to sleep well but no longer does so has got to be worse than if the baby never slept well at all. My 10 month old used to sleep for 5-7 stretches but it all went awry once she hit six months. I remember my big one's sleep went all to pot when he was about six months, too. He used to wake himself up rocking back and forth on hands and knees. Their need to learn/be mobile seems to invade their sleep somehow.
I haven't got any great advice, just commiseration and support. I'd invite you over for a cup of coffee!

Oh, yeah, I would be worried in a crib as well. Cecilia sleeps in bed with us, cradled in my arm. She doesn't go anywhere at night.

We didn't start swaddling until about 3 months, and it made a world of difference in the length of time Georgia would stay asleep. We were actually unsure how to swaddle as she had casts until 12 weeks or so. Now she has boots and a brace that keep her feet about shoulder width. She is only ever in the bed with us or in her cosleeper inches away. When she's in her bed, we swaddle her top only with a Sleep Sack Swaddle top and tuck her feet tightly into a blanket that is tucked under the mattress quite snug. She's not goin' nowhere, as much as she wants to. She will actually fall asleep on her own even if she's crying a bit with the swaddle and the tuck. It's like she sighs and says thankyou... my DH figured that out on his own. It's worth a try anyway, you might be able to do it in a full size crib.
Babies generally do need to be parented to sleep, they lack the ability to self sooth until older. It can be trained yes, but at cost of the child. I consider it more of a pre-schooler trait. It doesn't make feeling tired any easier but someday he really will sleep. So many things interrupt sleep in first 2 years, developmental milestones, teethings, illness, separation anxiety, it really is one thing after another until they older. Just hang in there and it shall pass.
Have you read Happiest Baby on the Block? His swaddle really saved us. It's really quite tight and quite constrictive, allowing for no ability to roll over, even when swaddled. It's very hard to roll over if you can't bend well. He says that a lot of people don't wrap tight enough or aren't using a large enough blanket so they assume the swaddle doesn't work, but really they just need to tighten up.
I agree with the above posts that in general, babies need to be parented to sleep. For us, we parent to drowsiness and then we let him fall asleep on his own. I try to put DS down in his crib while his eyes are open so he learns to associate the feeling of being tired with the feeling of going to sleep in his crib. If he starts to cry, I immediately pick him back up and rock him some more. In general he wriggles a little bit quitely and then goes to sleep.
Can you wear him in a carrier or sling for naps? My son won't sleep or nap alone.
Thanks everyone. "Happiest Baby on the Block" was our go-to for the first 3 mths. The swaddle thing is really hard for him now. I was doing a one arm swaddle and then both arms out, but he always rolls to his tummy. He'd start thumping his tucked in legs like a fish out of water and it was so much effort, he would get over but it would wake him up. I didn't like the idea of him on his tummy in the swaddle and he would always get over. I could try him in a fleece swaddle sack thing and lay him down on his belly, maybe, and see how he does. Is that safe though?
He was in a co-sleeper until a few wks ago when he figured out how to crawl out of it so the crib thing is new for both of us. If I were a single mom I would def. co-sleep but it really does not work for all 3 of us. I do tend to put him in bed with me around 5 am and he does pretty well.
The putting him down drowsy thing is a challenge because he has such a strong breast/sleep association. Like last night, I was going to try to put him down drowsy so I nursed him at 5:30 instead and 6:30 and that was it, he was asleep at 5:30 after 5 min. of nursing. If he's not asleep or on the brink of it and I set him down, he cries quickly and loudly. How does this drowsy business work for others ;)
Asiago, DS will sometimes sleep in the Ergo after I've worn him in it for a while. I can do a few gentle things while he's in there. We always used to take stroller walks for naps but it's so cold in MI now and even when bundled well, he won't fall asleep past 40 degrees so the bfing nap is the mainstay but I would like to transition away from it if possible.
I've heard No Cry Sleep Solution touted a lot on this forum and I know she addresses the breast sleep association business in a gentle AP way. I've also heard The Baby Whisperer as someone you might look into. I believe she has a "check and console" method to crying where you rock them, put them in the bed and pick them up when they cry. You soothe them and then they back into the crib. Over and over until they figure out that the crib is where they're going or they get too tired. It's not a method of "no crying" but it's not CIO since you're always responding to them when they cry and letting them know you're right there.

Another vote for No Cry Sleep Solution. This book saved my sanity when my son was around 7 months old. And ignore the comments...you find out later on that everyone else's kids were up a LOT more than you ever thought!
Great, thanks. I am going to order that book now. I was second-guessing myself so much on the whole thing, I was actually considering trying CIO this morning but once I temporarily decided that, I became fairly nauseous, so that's the end of that. I hear one of the key ideas to NCSS is putting the baby down awake. We'll have to figure out how to do that without the crying though. I'd love to hear how others manage that move peacefully.
Is your partner able to help more with nighttime parenting? I really sympathize with your situation...my DD's sleep was good early on, but poor from 3-6 months and terrible from 6-8 months- waking every 1-2hours and needing tons of rocking/bouncing/nursing to get back to sleep. I read all those books people mentioned...they were ok, and some ideas helped (we do a simple but consistent nighttime routine every night now), but the biggest help was when we finally decided to involve DH more. I kept putting it off because DD was cutting a tooth, or had a cold, or DH seemed tired etc... but eventually we just decided there is never going to be a perfect time and we decided to give it a try. I nurse DD to sleep, but after that, whenever she wakes up, DH goes to her first. We gradually pushed back the hour when I would go to her, as she started waking up less. (I typically go to her around 4am at this point). I really didn't believe it would work, but it actually has made a difference, and I feel like it has been a gentle way to improve everyone's sleep without resorting to CIO which I don't feel comfortable with.

bedsharing, knitting, toddler-nursing, nerdy, babywearing mama!
I haven't read the replies yet so I apologize if this has been said already.
First off, my opinion is that you can't 'train' a 6 month old to do anything, especially how to fall asleep on their own. You can implement a sleep routine and work on gradually laying them down closer to the time right before they fall asleep until eventually they are able to be laid down and fall asleep on their own. But in my experience that isn't natural at such a young age. Heck, it's not even natural at age 2. However, that's not to discredit the fact that you're not getting sleep. I think the real issue here is the frequent night wakings, and that is separate from teaching a baby to fall asleep on their own.
So, in order to get your babe to sleep longer stretches, first I'd recommend reading The No Cry Sleep Solution if you haven't already. In addition to that, if I were you, I'd be looking into some other possible culprits. Some things that come to mind are:
-If baby recently started eating solids he could be having some digestive issues or sensitivities.
-In a similar vein, if you haven't started solids yet, is it possible that he is needing a bit more to feel satisfied? Maybe the frequent nursing is due to hunger?
-On the topic of foods, it's possible that baby is showing a sensitivity to something even within your breast milk. Maybe try an elimination diet. A common culprit and a good place to start is with dairy.
-Has baby learned anything new lately? Over stimulation can be a cause for sleep troubles. If this is the case the good news is that it will probably pass on its own.
-It could also be just a good old fashioned growth spurt. Baby is waking more frequently to nurse to get that wonderful mama's milk to grow, and could even be uncomfortable in the process. Again, if this is the case it will pass in time.
-Another thing that might get easily overlooked is environmental changes. Have you changed laundry detergent? Soap? Perfume? Added a new pet to the family? Gotten new linens? As a mom to a kid with allergies I can tell you that these things really make a difference in attitude and sleep. Just a thought on the same note, the cold air (weather change) could be to blame. Try a humidifier in the room to take the dryness out.
-And last on my list is teething. Many different recommendations for that but imo just needs to be waited out.
I also just wanted to add that DD went through a stage when she started waking frequently to nurse. After months of co-sleeping with her I was extremely in tune with her and would wake up at every movement she made. At about that age we both got pretty good at just popping a boob into her mouth whenever she woke up and it would lull her back to sleep. I eventually realized that maybe she wasn't actually hungry or waking to nurse but was just sturring a little like all of us do. From what you described it sounds like your little guy is actually out right crying until you nurse him, so this may be a moot point. Have you tried introducing the paci or the swaddling again?

Oh yes! My SIL was quite determined to get her son to sleep on his own. She wasn't open to co-sleeping (which is fine), and tried sleep training. Now at two years old, he still has a hard time with sleeping and she has resorted to a TV in his bedroom running kids TV 24 hours a dayso he can watch himself to sleep. Anyway, even though we do things differently, we've both agreed that a lot of how kids sleep is part of who they are and what we as parents do doesn't really change it that much.
~m. Mama to two! DS (11/2006) and DD (07/2010).
I have been struggling with DS too. We are in the midst of the dreaded 4 month sleep regression which I fear will last straight on through till he's two! 90% of the time he needs to breast to get back to sleep, occassionally he will take a binky. I won't offer any advice but I can tell you that I read the archived posts on Ask Moxie all the time and it helps me cope. (For example, there is a post entitled "Samantha needs some hugs" which describes a woman in a similar situation. She commented on a later blog post with an update that at 12 months her DD was going to sleep with a kiss & a goodnight, as far as I can tell no CIO involved.)
There was a time when he was pretty consistently sleeping from 8 ish to 3 ish and then 3 ish to 7 ish. God I miss those days!! Hang in there mama... even the worst sleepers mature eventually. (Or at the very least they become teenagers who can turn on the light and read a book when they wake up in the middle of the night, instead of crying out for you :))
Mumma to DS July 2010 and expecting another baby boy late July 2012
re swaddling and turning over- when ds started turning over in his swaddle we worried too. What we figured out to do was put rolled up towles on either side of him- placed at shoulder level all the way to the edge of his crib. These served as sleep positioners- and kept him on his back. It worked great for months. NOw he is 10 months and- btw- he was in a sidecarred crib- and now he can roll over while swaddled but has so much neck and head control that he just turns his head to the side. Just tonight we put the 4th side of his crib on and the bumper and he is swaddled without the sleep positioners- but anyway- that was my solution rather than stopping the swaddle. I think swaddling helps a lot! good luck
The No Cry Sleep Solution is about night waking, and has a very solid way to record and map out and follow your own plan. But The No Cry Nap Solution addresses each issue separately (ie nursing to sleep, not sleeping in a crib, etc). I don't remember anything about putting the baby down awake, actually. All the methods I can think of are about helping your baby fall asleep. Maybe with time it leads to putting baby down awake, but certainly not from the get-go.

We're actually dealing with this (again) with DS. He's in the middle of the 8-mo regressing, compounded by a nasty cold that's had him up every 2-3 hours for the past 2 weeks. Before this he was actually getting 8+ hours of sleep.
That said, the book I keep returning to is the No-Cry Sleep Solution. Her steps are great, and you can choose where you are in the process. Take as long as you need to in each step.
She doesn't have you put the baby down wide awake, but you do transition to putting him down drowsy. The overall goal is to get the baby to go to sleep without needing the breast or a paci to do so. She is very adamant about routine, and eventually you put the baby down after you've finished your bedtime routine. I think, if you're doing it all "right", the idea is that the baby will easily go to sleep as you put him in his crib. We've never really had a problem with getting DS to sleep initially, but we have a continual battle with getting him to stay asleep. Once he's feeling better (he's had a fever for the past couple of days) we'll be working on lengthening his sleep again.
Hang in there. I've decided that the lucky few get babies who STTN from a young age with no setbacks. I've come to accept that this will be an ongoing process.

Welcome baby girl! Born at home, in the water, in the caul, and caught by daddy. February 24, 2013!
Thanks! I have been using the NCSS and I'm not sure we.re getting anywhere. I am very consistent with the routine but it ends with me nursing him to sleep. I'm just at a loss for other ways to accomplish the falling asleep w/out crying. My real problem though is the crazy night waking--some nights every 20 min. DH cannot get him back to sleep. I try to rock him but he is screaming and clamoring to nurse so I do it but gently taking him off every 20 sec. or so. He is usually asleep in 5-15 min. I end up doing it over and over. When I am ready for bed, I have been co-sleeping with him. It is saner for me and I feel like DS benefits in two ways: he gets to have us modeling sleep and seems to try to fall back asleep more with us next to him and he is such a mover, that I can often steady him and keep him from waking himself up. Still he ends up nursing too much--goes through 2 babydry dipes by night's end--and on our very best night, best sleep stretch is 4 hrs which feels insanely wonderful. It's a slow work in progress but I am still very open to thoughts....
so what happens if you try to swaddle him, and then lie next to him and sing and pat? This is what we do- and also a pacifier- have you considered trying the swaddle and pacifier again? When you say he doesn't like it- what happens if you swaddle him? Our ds sometimes fusses while we are swaddling him but then settles into sleep swaddled, where as we still cannot get him to sleep unswaddled.
Cecilia can't fall asleep well unswaddled but if she gets her arms out when she's asleep she does okay.
But as to the first part of your question, for us, patting and singing or shushing only works if she's already aaaaaalmost asleep. Otherwise she just gets pissed and growls at us (it's a pretty funny sound coming from a petite, dainty little baby girl).
bedsharing, knitting, toddler-nursing, nerdy, babywearing mama!
When we nightweaned, we had tried gentle methods with no progress...so we went to the next level, "let cry." For about a week DH slept with DS. I slept in another room. Yep, there was a lot of crying...but he wasn't alone. Each night it got less and less. DS is particularly stubborn. With an easier personality you probably could do something less extreme.
I think sometimes people have easy kids and then write books or give advice assuming everything will go as easily for everyone else if other people do what they do, not realizing that individual personality is such a huge factor in things like sleep, and parenting skillz aren't such a big factor as they think.
, mama to Amelie (May 2010), early loss (October 2011), and James (September 2012)
I think it gets better around a year, and when they are cutting teeth and all that...well let's say despite having two great sleepers, 6-12 months was ROUGH and then every three weeks a new tooth seemed to be coming and it was hell for another week. I have found with mine that having a routine at night really helps, and sometimes when all fails I nursed them to sleep. Mid-night wakings I generally try not to rush in at the first whimper. I wake up, I listen attentively. If the whimper escalates, I or DH go in. If it remains the same whiny pitch and they come at the same slow intervals, I listen carefully for up to three minutes before going to get her. 9 times out of ten she settles herself back down. I was running over at every sound and this seriously impeded her ability to get back to sleep. She now sleeps for a good stretch of about 8hrs then nursing then 1-2 hours. A few months ago she was up every hour or so and awake for up to two hours at a time just furious with us for trying to get to sleep.
I know most moms here are really into the co-sleeping and rooming in, but we have found that if she realizes we are in arms reach she will not re-settle and if she is in our bed no one sleeps but her. The first few nights of having her in her own room was really tough, and since it was DH's idea I made him fetch her, but it really was more effective for us. By day three she was sleeping for four to five hour stretches, and by the end of the week STTN.
It gets so much better after a year and even better after two. IME anyway.

I know exactly what you are talking about. The longest stretches of sleep I got after DS turned 3.5 months was 45 min with maybe one two hour stretch one night a week. I am not exaggerating! This lasted until about 12 months where we are now. I really felt like I was going to lose my sanity with the up every fifteen minutes and literally nursing more than 24 times in a 24 hour period. I know the amount because I was reading NCSS and that is part of what you document. I think you have gotten some good advice in this thread. Currently, DS is going back to sleeping in two to three hour segments with a 3-4 hour segment at the first of the night. The key or answer to everything? They just have to grow and mature into it.
DS is a light sleeper so there are things I can do to have more of a sleep conducive environment but when he is figuring out something developmentally, it just will not happen. I really think it was crucial that DH was/is involved. Right now, I nurse DS and then DH walks him to sleep in the Ergo at night. I LOVE this because it is a guilt free break where DS is going to sleep without me! This could not have happened three months ago. I guess what I am saying is to be gentle with yourself and your LO. This is a short time and just like figuring out rolling over and walking, your LO will figure out sleeping. It is really hard and please find little outlets throughout the day to keep your sanity. It won't last forever, they grow up super fast! Hang in there and yes it sucks!

He's a leg man
"A major award" is featured In the window of Erik's Clothing for Men, 101 W. Water St., Sandusky.
A fishnet-clad leg lamp is proudly displayed and inspires honks, thumbs-ups and even a "You're my hero" shout for owner Erik Anderson.
"We knew we had just the right window for it, so we thought we'd make it part of the Christmas decor," Anderson said.
Anderson said he bought the full-sized lamp for $200 at The Christmas Story House Museum in Cleveland. It has a variety of lighting options including just the lamp, just the thigh or the thigh and the lamp together.
He said the lamp has been a great way to remind people of the holiday classic movie, "A Christmas Story."
Landfill won't aid Osama bin Laden
The new landfill gas project in Erie County is good for the environment and should generate jobs.
But wait! There's more. The project also hasn't done anything since Tuesday to aid America's sworn enemies.
During Thursday's meeting, Erie County's commissioners were eager to sign a contract with Renewable Energy Services of Ohio to use gas from the landfill to produce electricity. Assistant Prosecutor Gary Lickfelt's job was to make sure all of the legal requirements were in place.
Lickfelt asked James Hiendlmayr, president of the company, if he'd done anything since Dec. 18 to aid international terrorism. Hiendlmayr promised solemnly that he has not.
Under state law, major vendors must sign an affidavit they haven't provided aid for a long list of terrorist organizations. Hiendlmayr had signed the document, but forgot to date it, so the question took care of that bit of paperwork, Lickfelt explained.
Only once has a contractor said he aided terrorists, Lickfelt said. A sewer line installer answered "Yes," but later explained he had mistakenly checked the wrong box, Lickfelt said.

A picture worth 1,000 words
Wednesday night marked David Warner's last school board meeting after 16 years on the Margaretta Board of Education.
His fellow board members took the opportunity to thank him for all his service to the school district and to poke a little fun. They made copies of two pictures of Warner: one of a young, shirtless Warner in cut-off jean shorts after a fishing trip, and one of him many, many years later.
A caption under the more recent picture pointed out the difference in Warner's hairline in the two pictures and credited it to the 16 years on the board. Warner didn't argue.
Bixler taking his holiday lumps
A Christmas tree on the third floor of the County Services Center has stockings for all of the employees who work on that floor.
Most of the third-floor workers are women. Commissioner Bill Monaghan, playing Santa Claus, slipped a coin into most of the stockings.
County Administrator Mike Bixler, however, received only lump of what appeared to be coal.
"The girls were good," Monaghan explained.

Retiring board member shares memories
During the Clyde-Green Springs Board of Education meeting last week, board member Ervin "Bud" Rutherford shared a few memories from his time as a driver's education teacher.
Rutherford, who had been the driver's education teacher for 37 years, talked about the many stressful times he had teaching the class.
During that period, he said he ran into some hard times, especially when he suffered two heart attacks in 1993.
The doctors said they were concerned and told him he "had to quit teaching driver's ed."

nForce Audio Driver problems
3 Attachment(s)
I have lurked this forum for a while after I installed FC5 on my ABiT NF7-S v2.0, and have just now a couple problems that I couldn't search my way to solutions on this forum or google.
But first I thought i would share my experience with installing the nforce linux driver.
I'm using the oss forcedeth as nic driver after reading this thread: nvnet vs forcedeth.
Reason for installing the official Nvidia nForce audio driver is: I couldn't get spdif out and clone channels to work with the oss snd_intel8x0 driver.
So onto installing the audio driver, I followed wang's instructions from this thread but I got an error stating that I was missing the kernel sources for (2096_FC5) so i fired up yum extender and search and installed the required packages (kernel-devel). Then the installer error out with an error about my CC enviroment variable wasn't set correctly, this time since I was in the prompt anyways i fired up yum again but from the commandline. (I'm no linux guru, i got this tip from #fedora on FreeNode)
yum install gcc
Everything is fine for about 30 seconds, then bam the music stops and after a while this pops up :
(Image text incase it dissappears: "Sound server fatal error: cpu overload, aborting").
But according to top only 2-3 % of the cpu is used, and that's mainly by "artsd".
My machine consists of the following hardware:
AMD XP 3200+ Barton
ABiT NF7-S v2.0
2 x 300 GB Maxtor S-ATA not in raid.
OS installed is FC5 updated to kernel 2096_FC5.
I think it might relate to my problems stopping the alsa layer + snd_intel8x0 (do I want to stop the alsa layer?)
[root@ bin]# lsmod | grep 8x0
But since I'm very new to linux I would like a very hands on solution that dosen't require several years of linux experience.
Also sometimes the sound crackles, how can this happen on a digital lineout?
I've attached my install log, bug report log and my modprobe.conf for more indeepth info for the gurus.
Thanks in advance guys
PS. If you guys give nice responses this thread might just pop up on top when searching :)

Comments about TYR Women's Safari Reversible Diamondfit Swimsuit:
pink trim starts bleaching out after about twenty to thirty uses. I've had mine for less than 80 hours and I already need a new one (i swim every day for 2-3 hours). i followed all care instructions to the tee. I never used a dryer to dry it. I line dried it, and gently rolled it dry in a soft towel. I did not use a detergents.
In any case, the print pattern is hideous, but the reverse side a solid black/navy blue which makes a lovely contrast to the pink stripes. The fit is flattering and if it flatters me, it will probably flatter most, as usual.
This suit manages to be both sexy and professional looking all at once. I love it, but would buy it only a third of the price due to the fading trim color.
the fit is a bit odd - i have a very proportionate body - 5'5", weigh 115 lbs, b cup, hourglass figure (almost perfectly symmetrical), but the length of the torso feels a bit long . If anything it should be on the shorter side. I'll let it slide only because I'm not sure if it's just getting stretched out from using it everyday. It's already hanging at the but and waist a bit because the material is stretching out as a lot of swimsuits will eventually do after a while.
despite everything, it is still such a cute and sexy swimsuit that I can't help but give it a high rating. i would definitely recommend it to friends, but would insist on a serious reduction in price because of fading.

Work and having a successful career are important to me, but I definitely like to maintain a good balance and have a lot of fun as well. I'm an online dating beginner but look forward to trying something new and meeting new people. I am easy going and do not take myself too seriously. I'm an optimistic and outgoing person who loves to be active and enjoys a lot of different fun activities. I love being outside and exploring something new. I love sightseeing and traveling. I like going out to dinner or getting a drink, hanging out in a coffee shop, sightseeing around the DC area, going to museums and art galleries, watching sports on television, going to see a sports game, taking road trips, going to the beach, going to the mountains, going to a winery, taking walks, skiing, kayaking, scuba diving, etc to name a few things. I also enjoy just staying in and doing absolutely nothing. Shoot me an email and I'll tell you the rest!

I had a dog growing up but do not have one now. I would definitely get one again but don't have any plans to buy one anytime soon.
Middle of the Road
There are a lot of spots around the DC area that I like to go hang out. Chinatown, Penn Quarter, Dupont, and Eastern Market to name a few. I also like Alexandria, Arlington, and Annapolis if I go outside of the city.
Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL
I like all types of music and movies. I like going to see movies and I'm a big fan of Netflix. I don't watch too much tv but when I do, I'll watch sports, sitcoms, or the travel, discovery, history channels. I like all different kinds of foods too.

I enjoy reading but don't get to do it nearly as much as I would like. When I do read for pleasure, I read mostly non-fiction books. Fiction is good too though, I'll usually pick up a copy of the latest best seller if everyone is talking about it.

I think the title is self-explanatory, don't you? This poem's a bit different to my others, and it's about a marooned pirate (obviously), but more focused on the narration. So... *glances around awkwardly* um... read it! :P
Llamadillo5 3 years ago
that was good, it makes sence too, most poems have a hidden meaning behind them that only the writer knows, but you communicate the poem clearly and perfectly. Great job! :D

by WanderingOneAt this point, I think it's necessary to write something about how things changed after my sister was born. It's hard to know what to say here—I do not want to tell my sister's story for her, nor could I presume to do so. But it would be disingenuous to attempt to write about my life without explaining how and why things changed. My little sister was, in so many ways, my opposite. Where I was shy, quiet, reserved and even timid, she was outgoing, bold, adventurous, and confident. I went to her Sunday School class rather than my own; I followed her lead in so many things, even though I was the older of the two of us. This didn't always work very well, given that I was s … [Read more...]

Preparing a Visionary Daughter to Do Hard Things ~ Part 6: Life. Liberty. And the Pursuit of Happiness.
by KieryWhen we arrived, my boyfriend's family and pastor took me in and became my adopted family. They ministered to me and loved me, and generally instilled the confidence in myself, in God, and in family that I had lost.When we announced the news of my engagement, my family started writing my pastor and generally trying to sabotage my wedding by not sending my dress or supporting me in any way. To give me my dress would the same as giving money to a homeless drunk in their eyes. My in-laws and my boyfriend paid for everything, and we used the church for free.It was a (perfect) small wedding. My grandparents came and I walked the aisle alone. I liked this because, it was me, making a … [Read more...]
Preparing a Visionary Daughter to Do Hard Things ~ Part 5: Waking Up
by KieryA failure, that's what I was, a giant failure. I couldn't be the daughter my parents wanted me to be. I had tasted freedom, and I felt like I deserved it. I couldn't go back to being the second mom after being told I was an adult. Adults can't take their children's adulthood away, can they?The 6 months between the split and my 18th birthday were the darkest days of my life. I was horribly depressed, I hardly ate, I contemplated cutting and suicide on more than one occasion. Honestly, if it weren't for the friends I had made before and my boyfriend's pastor stepping up and reaching me when I cried for help, I don't know where I would be. I was mad at God, mad at my parents, mad at … [Read more...]

by KieryThe thing about training is that eventually, you grow up and exercise what you were taught. I was taught to think for myself, to stand up regardless of pressure, and in the end, that's what I did.The last half of my 16th year my parents spent drilling into me that I was a capable adult and ready for marriage. I went to visit my boyfriend after christmas and I think my parents fully expected a proposal even though (despite me being 16) we'd only been together since September. I was nervous, naturally. A hasty marriage was being pushed by my family while his were much less hurried. I was scared, because at 16, I interpreted this as there being something wrong...maybe they didn't … [Read more...]
The Destiny of a Virtuous Daughter ~ Part I: Beginnings of the Mask
by Starfury Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me? -MulanFor as long as I can remember, I was somebody else. My driving factors were love, approval, and being wanted, for who I was. That never came, in part due to the fact that in my work to achieve my goals I molded who I was to others' specifications. As a result, I am trying to figure out who I am, even though I'm now an adult. Even now, it is easy to slip into the role that I deem others expect of me. It is hard to summon up the strength to remove the mask I've become so good at wearing, out of fear of reproach and backlash.Ultimately, I was to be the perfect daughter. My family had to appear as the model family, … [Read more...]
Preparing a Visionary Daughter to Do Hard Things ~ Part 3: Critical Thinking
by KieryMany people tell me I'm brave, they can't believe how strong I am. Ten years of playing "mommy 2" isn't overly common in the outside world. People at church would often tell me how lucky my parents were to have me and say "I bet you help out a lot, huh?" and I would nod and say "yes" while scanning the room to keep tabs on my siblings. "You guys are so blessed!" They would exclaim to my parents, "I don't know how you do it." My parents would nod in agreement while other families noted how well behaved we were.It seemed people either wanted to have our faith or detested us. They would aspire to become like my family, or think we were crazy lunatics. We prided ourselves on being p … [Read more...]
Preparing a Visionary Daughter to Do Hard Things ~ Part 2: Maintaining Appearances
by KieryIn time, I would begin to envision myself as a fair rose hidden inside metal armor. Afraid to grow, afraid to feel, staying inside a metal cage meant to protect. As far as appearances went though, you'd never know I felt that way. I don't think my own family knew how I felt, when it comes down to it. Appearances were very important - we always had to look perfect, the house had to be spotless, when we were moving we had to be all happy about it (even if we weren't), that way people wouldn't think there was something wrong. The worst thing that could happen would be for someone to wonder if there was something wrong/ someone wasn't "happy".I joined a speech club when I was 13, an … [Read more...]

Children's Centres: breaking the last New Labour taboo (part 1)
On Sunday night I went to a Labour conference fringe meeting about the future of early years childcare and early years development. The participants were Kitty Usher, ex-MP and now Director of Demos, John Merry, leader of Salford City Council and an MP whose name escapes me for the moment, and who arrived late and didn't really say very much at all.
The usual happened. The chair, a journalist called Gabby Hinsliff, repeatedly and almost pointedly ignored my hand in the air, and instead sought contributions from the heads of organisations who already get to have their say about this kind of stuff all the time; as a result, not a single deliverer of either childcare or parenting support services (I am both) got to speak about the reality 'on the ground'.
But heh, that's fringe meetings. Let's talk about Children's Centres.
Ed Miliband will be speaking to Labour conference later, and if I know Labour leader speeches as I think I do, Ed will make early and glowing reference to the 3,500 Children's Centre/Sure Starts established under a Labour government. It's top of the list of every Labour politician's list of Labour achievements.
And so it was at the Labour fringe meeting dedicated to looking at the detail of childcare and early years development policy. Children's Centres are good things, pure and simple, and they must be defended.
If I had been invited to speak at the love-in, though, I'd have said something different; I'd have broken the New Labour taboo.
For the reality of Children's Centres, as they are really experienced by real people, can be very different from the picture painted by New Labour, and potentially by New Labour's successors.
There are undoubtedly many Centres that have really worked well, and have met the needs of the middle class families AND have reached out to the 'hard to reach'.
But there are also many that have not, and which have failed to deliver on their core task, and we need to face up to that fact, and explore why.
How can I be so sure of this when everyone else is going around telling us all Children's Centres are wonderful?
Well, I'm sure not least because I personally wrote the bids which brought in the funding which set up an 'alternative' Children's Centre, down the road from a 'real', well-funded Children's Centre in my area, Skelmersdale in Lancashire.
The 'real' Children's Centre is a place none of the people who needed it most went to, because they were not shown respect, and because they were treated as target fodder.
These same people now happily attend our place in a slightly crummy-looking annex to the Council Sports Hall (itself a converted factory), because we offer respect and work with families on the issues that face them rather than seeking to control them. We succeed because we do not stigmatize. The Children's Centre staff now come to us for guidance, just 10 months after opening.
In part 2 of this taboo-breaker, I'll be setting out some more thoughts on why, in some areas at least, Children's Centres have failed to do what they should have done, despite the efforts of staff working with the best of intentions, what this says both about New Labour's managerialism, and how Labour in opposition should and can now – as Ed Miliband is due to say this afternoon – to move on from the 'old certainties'. These old certainties linger on, not least in what Kitty Usher had to say – some of which I found mildly disturbing – and I will also explore that.
In the meantime, this is some of what what I wrote in the funding bids that brought us the money to challenge the hegemonic orthodoxy that Children's Centres are always great. It was written nearly 18 months ago, but I think it stands the test of time.
We will work with local families who are often defined by the statutory agencies with whom we work as 'hard to reach', though in fact this is not our experience; rather it is our experience that unable to reach out effectively to poorer and more isolated families, not least because many of these families feel 'stigmatised' by their association with such agencies.
Home-Start West Lancs has been established in the area for over 11 years during that time the organisation has worked with many 'hard to reach' families. Good relationships have been established, trust has been gained, and mutual respect has been earned.
It is our regrettable but inescapable experience – one which is a key driver for this project – that many families who would be regarded as 'hard to reach' by statutory agencies, principally those working through or in partnership with Sure Start and Children's Centres, do not and will not engage with statutory services because they do not trust them. The necessary 'form-filling' associated with Children's Centres is off-putting for many families living in difficult circumstances, and whatever the high quality of the 'offer' provided by Children's Centres, many families do not feel they can engage with the whole process because they feel stigmatised (or have a perception that they would be in some way stigmatised).
On occasion, in this area of Skelmersdale, such perceptions have been reinforced by the actuality of persistent 'chasing' phone calls from well-meaning staff at the Children's Centre, eager to ensure registration and attendance, partly with a view to meeting core 'reach' targets. Such methods are understandable, but the evidence we have from our work with families in the Digmoor area [of Skelmersdale] is that they can be and have been counter-productive.
Home-Start does want to ensure that those families who might benefit from the range of services available from or via the range of statutory agencies operating in the area. Indeed, success in this is set out as one of our key outcomes (see above). In order to achieve this, 'hard to reach' parents and families need to initial support, of the type we will offer, to enable them to build the confidence and coping skills and that are often needed to engage with services on a more equal basis.
Home-Start West Lancashire operates somewhat differently from other Home-Start schemes under the UK umbrella organisation. While most organisations focus primarily (and reflecting the name) in home-based work, with volunteers visiting and providing support to parents who are having difficulty coping in their home surroundings, Home-Start West Lancashire has responded to the needs expressed by families, living in the most deprived areas of West Lancashire, for more holistic support and solidarity alongside other families, set alongside the development of basic skills in parenting and householding (e.g. cooking nutritious food on a tight budget, budget and debt management, routes towards employment). For this reason, Home-Start West Lancashire has started to weight its resources to group development and facilitation, and this will be at the core this proposed new project.
Essentially, we believe that Home-Start West Lancashire does not just 'talk a good game' about empowerment, but that we do it. Our staff and current volunteers are local people, and genuinely empathise with the situation in which our target families find themselves.
In summary, through ongoing engagement and consultation with other local agencies, both statutory and voluntary, but more importantly with local families bringing their experiences, we have identified a gap in provision, which if filled will both directly meet the needs of families but will also allow other agencies a better chance of engaging with families, because those families are able to do so on a more equal footing.
MikeSeptember 28, 2010 at 2:46 pm
Apologies for the following rant.
e.g. cooking nutritious food on a tight budget, budget and debt management, routes towards employment.
Sounds ideal for the long-term unemployed. Best we have is a Resource Centre for folk with mild mental health problems, that is currently fighting closure. Should cover the above, but doesn't.
Probably, I'm too soft. But, one thing that the Welfare State doesn't seem to do is "reach out to people". Everything is a red-tape hurdle, probably in the name of cutting costs. For instance, signing-on. I seem to remember that it was all done at face-to-face interviews. Now it requires a phone call to a call centre, and waiting a couple of days for them to phone back. They can phone at any time of day, they will only phone once, and they don't leave a message. Then after negotiating this, the application still requires a face-to-face interview for completion. During the phone call, they'll ask if you wish to apply for other benefits. "Are there other benefits for which I'm eligible?". "We don't know until you apply."
And best of luck in discovering whether you're eligible for Income Support. Not even the trained Benefits Advisors could answer that one, face-to-face.

Hi Jim,
I have no experience with Ikonta, other than a lust for one... but most lenses of that description use push-on filters. One way is to use Kodak series filters (series number indicates the size, Google the Wikipedia "filters"). You'd meaure the outside of your lens, buy a series adapters in that size, and then the filters/hood goes into that. The filters have no threads but sit in the adapter and are held in with either a retaining ring or a hood. Series adapters, filters, and hoods are still fairly easily available on ebay.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. My blank username was the final nail in the coffin. My current username is unacceptable too. Cheney was right all along. Too many lulz.
But did you respect that? Nooooo. You just had to continue driving that ship down our collective throats. Apparently you didn't even notice my dib in your reverie.
I'm not being serious about any of this, by the way.
What are we talking about? Because I just don't know anymore.

FINE. Then I have to wait 28 days again. :IYour blank username didn't give any problems technically. Your current one does though. Too difficult to mention, and it messes up the coding that is used in the forums. XD
Could you contact an admin so that you can have your username changed? Thanks.
