The Cry Of A Child
The cry of a child, sometimes we can hear. The cry of a child
sometimes can be seen. We should all be on the lookout to
see when a child cries.
Abuse can come in different forms.It is not always sexaul
abuse. It can be physical, mental,or verbal, but it is still abuse.
A church one day, invited group of kids for a retreat. The kids
would have a week of fun. They would go camping, swimming,
play games and attend church services.
Since the first day - the paster notice a little girl, that did not
talk to anyone and kept to herself. The pastor decided to focuses
on her. The pastor noticed that she was dirty, had old tennis shoes
and her uncombed hair was all over her face.
The pastor took her to the side and asked her, why she didn't talked
to anyone. She answered - because, I am mean dumb and ugly. The
pastor told her - no, you are not. God did not make you dumb, mean
or ugly. Who told you that? The little girl answered - my mother
always tells me that.
The pastor told her to join the rest of the kids. Then he asked some
ladies of the church, to buy her a couple of dresses, some shoes and
other things that she might need. Then to clean and dress her up.
The next day they took her to the church service.
Everyone was amazed at how pretty she looked. As the days went
by, she learned to get along with the kids and could even smile now.
When the week was over - she was a different little girl. She had
confidence in herself. She went and thank the pastor for making her
life different...
Written by Lucilla M. Carrillo
Note: This is all true. It happened
to my brother at his church. We should
be careful - what we tell our kids, we
could ruin their lives before they start.

Pure, unsweetened gelatin is healing to the body, and as a bonus, it's helped me have longer, prettier, and healthier nails and hair! I use this product in my homemade, non-dairy yogurt to help thicken it, and its great in smoothies as well. I am using the SCD to heal my intestinal tract, so next I'll be making some homemade, healthy "jello".

I really like this gelatin--It has no taste, can be mixed with anything (I mix it with my morning smoothie for some protein,or put it in soup)and mixes very easily without clumping. I haven't been using long enough to notice health effects yet, but will try to repost when I do. Will definitely order again!

The families in the three apartments left the building, but they were allowed to return a short time later after firefighters extinguished the fire.

Venezuela court: Chávez swearing-in can be delayed
Associated Press : January 9, 2013 : Updated: January 9, 2013 11:17pm
Photo By ALEJANDRO PAGNI/AFP/Getty Images
A man holds a figurine of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez during a rally in support of his recovery in front of the Venezuelan embassy in Buenos Aires on January 8, 2013. The President of the National Assembly Diosdado Cabello announced today that due to health reasons, Chavez will not be able to take the oath to be sworn in for a fourth term in office next January 10. A constitutional fight intensified with the government planning a massive show of support in the streets on the day he is supposed to be sworn in. Chavez, who underwent his fourth round of cancer surgery in Havana nearly a month ago, is suffering from a severe pulmonary infection that has resulted in a respiratory insufficiency. AFP PHOTO / ALEJANDRO PAGNIALEJANDRO PAGNI/AFP/Getty Images
CARACAS, Venezuela — The Supreme Court chief on Wednesday endorsed putting off President Hugo Chávez's inauguration, siding with the government in a heated dispute with the opposition while the ailing leader struggles with complications a month after cancer surgery in Cuba.
Supreme Court President Luisa Estella Morales made the statement after the opposition urged the top court to rule that the government was violating the constitution by delaying the swearing-in for a new term, which had been scheduled for today. Lawmakers voted Tuesday to delay the ceremony, allowing Chávez to take the oath of office at an unspecified later date before the Supreme Court.
Morales also said the Supreme Court hasn't considered appointing a panel of doctors, as opposition politicians have demanded, to evaluate whether Chávez is fit to remain in office after remaining out of public view since before his Dec. 11 operation.
Her announcement seemed to pre-empt any opposition attempt to challenge the postponed inauguration. She announced the decision in response to a case brought by a single lawyer and said the inauguration can be performed before the Supreme Court at a time and place to be determined.
"We know it's necessary, and undoubtedly the inauguration is going to be carried out, but at this time we can't anticipate when," Morales told reporters at a news conference.
Opposition leader Henrique Capriles condemned the Supreme Court's endorsement of delaying the inauguration. "Institutions should not respond to the interests of a government," he said at a news conference.
The case that prompted the decision was brought not by the opposition but by a private lawyer, Marelys D'Arpino, a columnist for the pro-Chávez newspaper Vea.
D'Arpino said she decided to file the case last month because "it was necessary to straighten out" the matter before the court.
The constitutional debate takes place against a backdrop of complaints that the government isn't giving complete information about the condition of Chávez, who hasn't spoken publicly since his fourth cancer-related surgery in Cuba four weeks ago.
"It's very evident that he isn't governing, and what they want us to believe is that he's governing, and they're lying," opposition leader Ramón Guillermo Aveledo told the television channel Globovision.
He insisted the National Assembly president should take over temporarily as interim leader and that the Supreme Court should appoint a panel of doctors to determine Chávez's condition.
Venezuela's constitution sets Jan. 10 as the day the oath of office should be taken before lawmakers in the National Assembly. But the charter, without explicitly stating a date, adds that the oath can be taken before the Supreme Court if the president is unable to be sworn in by the National Assembly.
Opponents maintain that even if the oath is taken before the Supreme Court, Jan. 10 is the date it should be taken.
The opposition has argued that the only legal way to postpone the ceremony is for congress to approve a "temporary absence" for the president, leaving the head of the National Assembly as interim president for 90 days, a period that could be extended for an additional 90 days.
But Morales said that as of now, "there is not even a temporary absence."
Chávez said before his operation that if he were unable to continue as president, Vide President Nicolás Maduro should take his place and run in an election to replace him. Speculation that his illness might be entering its final stages grew Tuesday when the proposal for a postponement came in a letter signed by Maduro, not Chávez.
The government said earlier this week that Chávez was in a "stable situation" receiving treatment due to a severe respiratory infection.

And Vicki isn't the only one. People are forever helping me in small ways—making things easier for me is how people respond to my illness, helping me as I fumble to put on a seat belt, for instance, or as I try to slip my feet into the foot straps on an indoor spin bike.
Every day, I take my own measure: Is it getting worse? What will the future bring? Can I hold on? Can I live my life with the current level of dementia? How much loss can I accept? When these questions threaten to take hold of me, I use yoga discipline and literally try to move them aside; for the questions are unanswerable, the answers unknowable.
After the existential questions, the one that persists most cloyingly is whether this disease has taken from me the last remnants of being a physician. Throughout my adult life, my identity has been inextricably linked with being a doctor, a caregiver, a healer. Today, my stethoscope, the accoutrement that more than any other identified me as a physician, is gathering dust, and I know I will never wear it again. Unable to attend to patients, I had to ask whether holding on—by keeping current with the major journals, attending grand rounds, or appearing at hospital meetings—made sense. Even sitting still, a task made difficult by muscle cramps brought on by Parkinson's, was making it impossible to sit through grand rounds and meetings. Besides, would I merely be clinging to my unrecoverable past, a sad shadow of my former self? Did I have anything left to contribute? Am I a real doctor any more? At times, I feel guilty that I can no longer care for the thousands of patients who were depending on me. Accepting that I can no longer practice puts me face-to-face with the reality of who I am now.
Nearly every day, I see—or talk by phone with—friends, family, and colleagues who ask, "How are you doing, Tom?" They mean well, of course. These are people with hopes for me, and they want me to know that they care. But each time the question is asked, I am reminded of how much has been lost. What can I say to this question? "Fine," is my usual reply, but I am not fine. I would rather find out how they are, how their kids are, what's happening in their lives. I want them to see that Parkinson's has not made me self-absorbed. I want the conversation to show them that I took a huge neurological hit and that I'm still standing. But the normality that almost all people with a serious illness crave is forever beyond my reach.
To hold on, to try to maintain the status quo, I constantly monitor myself for signs of decline. But I am hardly passive, and I do not accept the inevitability of further decline, even though I know, intellectually, that it is likely. I believe that I can at least slow the pace as long as I don't surrender, and writing this book was one way of not surrendering. Though I could not write it without help, the intellectual engagement required by the process was a way of exercising mental muscles. To keep my body fit, I exercise regularly. Spinning classes have boosted my energy and my sense of well-being, as has yoga. And though I deeply regret no longer being able to practice medicine, I now have more time to focus on my own well-being.
Despite the myriad symptoms and problems that I have to struggle with every day, I am optimistic that I can keep my situation stable. I believe this because I have to believe it. I have to believe that tomorrow can be as good as today. That is the most that I hope for.

AUSTIN - A Dallas-Fort Worth television station reported that a man broke into Sen. Wendy Davis' home last year and took her car for a spin after encountering her then-boyfriend, former Austin mayor Will Wynn, in the kitchen.
NBC DFW reported in an exclusive story that the incident happened just over a year ago. That was before the Fort Worth Democrat came to national attention with her filibuster against tighter abortion restrictions and launched her race for governor.
Davis testified in the case for about 15 minutes after it went to court in January, according to the man's attorney, but the crime previously hasn't been reported by media.
NBC DFW reported that it learned of the crime from a law enforcement source and got the police report under state law on open records.
The police report said that Donnell Dickerson entered Davis' home about 6 p.m. on April 13, 2013, the station reported. Wynn said he had been outside doing yard work and was confronted by the man after walking into the kitchen.
"I must be in the wrong house," the man said, according to Wynn. He then walked into the garage and drove away in Davis' 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe. The keys were inside the vehicle, the station reported. Dickerson returned as Wynn was telling a police officer about the incident. The officer pulled her gun and ordered him out of the vehicle, and he was arrested on charges of burglary and car theft.
Wynn said that Davis was taking a nap and didn't wake up until after police arrived.
The television station reported that Dickerson pleaded guilty to the two charges in January and agreed to be sentenced by a jury. He got eight years in prison.
Dickerson's lawyer, Mamie Johnson, told the television station that he had walked into the wrong house. She said that he becomes confused and has mental lapses.
"He didn't realize it was her house or he would have run out of there faster than he did," Johnson said. She said she believed her client was treated fairly in court.
Davis communications director Zac Petkanas said in a statement, "Almost a year ago an intruder entered Senator Davis' home and fled in her vehicle. Wendy is grateful to the prompt and professional response of Fort Worth Police and the immediate capture of the intruder. The prosecution of this matter is now complete and she urges everyone to take every precaution to ensure their families are safe."
The television station said the police report refers to Davis as "W. Davis" and gives the block number, but not the specific street number, for her Fort Worth home. It quotes a police spokesman as saying this might have been done to protect her privacy.
"It's a private matter," Petkanas said when asked about the matter.

zastron: My judgment is that the helmet in the photo fairly represents the movement to have the requirement repealed, primarily because of what's written on it.
Fair enough. Speaking of the role of women, a delegate named Dorothy McAllistser said the following, according to the convention record: "Michigan is the first state of the entire United States in which women have ever had a chance to vote on the 18th Amendment. Michigan is the first state in the Union in which women have had a chance to vote on prohibition. Michigan is the first state to repeal the 18th Amendment."
"The idea that someone like that could operate under my very nose is laughable. (chokes and coughs) Well, you all know what laughter sounds like."
"What kind of pet shop is full of rambunctious yahoos and hot jazz music at 1 a.m.?"
Last I knew, the Grand Rapids Amtrak station was scheduled for completion in spring 2013. I'm looking into the other questions.

I triple-checked my notes, and she didn't say "under" (or "underneath").
You're right, HalloweenJack, and I've corrected the entry to reflect this.
Well, that's good news. Thanks for weighing in, RAYMOND.
If only we'd listened to that young man, instead of walling him up in the abandoned coke oven.
Montgomery Burns, of course, ran an ill-fated gubernatorial campaign in the second season of The Simpsons [http://simpsonswiki.net/wiki/Two_Cars_in_Every_Garage_and_Three_Eyes_on_Every_Fish].
My Simpsons fluency stops around season 10 or so, but the other really good political-campaign episode I remember is when when Sideshow Bob ran for mayor [http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Sideshow_Bob_Roberts].
In any case, the Romney-Burns connection has been noted elsewhere [http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/04/who-said-it-mitt-romney-or-mr-burns-picture_n_1319468.html]. "I'm really enjoying this 'iced cream'."
Thanks. I hope to have more on mopeds later this week.
That is roughly how the description was phrased in the first report I linked to, which is from the Detroit Free Press and contains information from the Associated Press. Some variation of that description has appeared in every news story on the shooting I have read. A commenter here noted earlier that another common phrase in news reports is some version of "The police describe him as white. His family describes him as Hispanic."
Update - the police chief in Sanford, Bill Lee, announced he is stepping down temporarily. http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/florida-police-chief-at-center-of-neighborhood-watch-shooting-temporarily-steps-down/2012/03/22/gIQADui5TS_story.html?hpid=z1
WXYZ in Detroit did a "Could It Happen In Michigan?" story on the Martin case based on a law here similar to "stand your ground" in Florida: http://www.wxyz.com/dpp/news/could-the-trayvon-martin-case-happen-in-michigan
Some updates/worthwhile reading on the case:
The police chief leading the investigation into Martin's death has received a no-confidence vote from the city commission in Sanford, with one commissioner calling for his resignation. [http://abcnews.go.com/US/trayvon-martin-case-lead-investigator-asked-step/story?id=15974720#.T2tlPnLYFnw]
Martin's parents are meeting today with officials from the U.S. Department of Justice, which is investigating the case as a civil rights matter. [http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/22/justice/florida-teen-shooting/?hpt=us_c1]
Some of the discussion of the case involves Florida's "stand your ground" law. [http://prospect.org/article/history-floridas-stand-your-ground-law]
The LA Times provides a good all-around summary of the shooting and the issues involved. [http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-trayvon-martin-20120322,0,4469238.story]
Miller was Secretary of State from 1995 through the end of 2002. She now represents Michigan's 10th congressional district in the U.S. House.
wordsmith - Yes, that is legal. See the end of this Traffic Talk column by my predecessor, Cami Reister:
Ha. Makes you wonder if there was enough of a problem with offal-tossing in Michigan to make it necessary to include that in the law.
This gives me an idea for another column called "Grammar and Usage Talk." Would anyone like that besides me, and possibly scholtens?
