Things Are The Big Things
Teen parenting is possible to do in a positive way if an environment of positive parenting is created in the home.
There is no easy path to parenting teens.
It comes down to parenting with love and limits.
It's important that you send a positive message that says you're listening, you love them and you trust them.
Understanding your teens journey is the first step.
Inspirational Parenting Advice
Remember that it's the
toughest challenges that take a great deal of time and it's the impossible
challenges that take a little longer.
Good, honest, hardheaded character is a function of the home. If the proper seed is sown there and properly nourished for a few years, it will not be easy for that plant to be uprooted.
~George A. Dorsey
Here Are Some Teen Parenting Ideas...
It's often said that to know someone is to walk in their shoes. In our case, to better understand this teenage passage that our children experience it's better to have lived through it ourselves.
I guess if you've never been a parent then you wouldn't understand what I'm about to write.
OK…we've all been teenagers at one point in our lives. So we understand the issues, challenges and changes that every teenager experiences. Some face challenges greater than others but the basic premise is the same.
The best way to begin to prepare for this journey into parenting teens is to take time to reflect on your own teenage journey. Think back to the issues that you faced and what you may have done to deal with it.
Think about the physical and emotional changes that were taking place. Think about the changes that took place that affected the way you viewed the world around you. Then think about your growing desire for independence…to be your own person and start to make your own decisions as well as so many other factors. It becomes so important in parenting teens to understand all of these factors and how they can be overwhelming to young person.
By understanding we equip ourselves with the knowledge that helps us enhance our good parenting skills and become more of a positive influence in our teenager's lives. At this critical time in their lives, a positive influence can make all the difference in the world as to how they move forward with their own lives.
Take the time to make yourself aware and understand what the journey is about and you'll take your first big step toward a more rewarding and positive experience for both you and your teenager during those challenging teenage years.
There is no doubt that the years of parenting teens will most certainly test even the families that build the most positive parenting environments. It's been said that for parenting influence on a child, the first eight to ten years are the formidable years.
If you can provide an atmosphere of positive parenting, teach strong positive family values and build a strong relationship with your child as a role model up to the age of ten, then you will most likely have the child going in the right direction from that point on.
I think it goes without saying that those first ten years of a child's life are critical when it comes to the type of parenting environment that they are raised in.
If the road that you paved for your child is not the one that you wished you had paved, you must NEVER think that it's too late to make a positive difference in your child's life.
Never bow down to complacency, because it's never too late. All the more reason to take the time you still have to make a difference.
Those teen years might be a challenge, but again remember, the most difficult challenges are the ones that take the longest and the impossible challenges take a little longer. Never give up on what should be the most important thing in your life.
We spend all those early years doing everything we can to keep our children close and our families together and strong only to face those years of parenting teens and battling that natural instinct for independence.
It is one thing to show your child the way, and a harder thing to then stand out of it.
~Robert Brault
This is the phase that can sometimes be easier for the teenager
and tougher for the parents to slowly let go. The desired rate of
letting go of your child never coincides with the desired rate of
the child wanting to let go of their parents. That would just make
it too easy.
It's a natural instinct, the strong growing desire to be our own person and make our own decisions. As parents, we've all been there and by understanding what it was like to thirst for that independence we can better deal with the reason for many of our teenager's actions.
Our teenager's push away without letting go and sometimes there are things that are said and actions that are taken because of this instinct for independence. As parents we can sometimes take these situations personally and it can be very difficult to handle.
It's extremely important that we understand their message of independence as just that and not take it as a message of disconnection. Although sometimes it may seem like they don't want to have anything to do with you, this is not the case.
There are two lasting bequests we can give our children. One is roots. The other is wings.
~Hodding Carter, Jr.
At the moment they are more concerned with communicating the message
that they want more space, they want to be left to make more of their
own decisions and they want to be trusted as young adults.
We have to make sure that we are connected with this message and also with the message they are not sending…they still want to be heard and understood, they want to be loved and supported and they still want limits with a say in those limits, just on their own independent terms.
It's critical as parents that we don't misinterpret the message that our teenager's are sending us and become disconnected to their needs. Would you rather be the role model for your teenager or let them get their advice and support from someone else at this critical time in their life.
Parenting teens can pose some of the toughest parenting challenges that you will face during your parenting years. It doesn't matter the path you traveled or where you are at in your child's life, it's never too late to be the best positive role model you can be.
In the blink of an eye, you'll find yourself sitting alone pondering the things you could've done differently.
Good, honest, hardheaded character is a function of the home. If the proper seed is sown there and properly nourished for a few years, it will not be easy for that plant to be uprooted.
~George A. Dorsey
The smallest moments in the lives of our children are truly the biggest and most important ones. I read a story about a couple who lost a teenage daughter to a tragic automobile accident.
Like most parents they did the best they could to raise their daughter but they admitted that it took such a tragic event to make them realize that the moments they cherished the most were the small moments…The moments they took for granted.
They regretted the fact that they spent too much time and energy on what they thought were the big things in their relationship with their teenage daughter and never stopped to focus on the little things.
It's no mystery that parenting teens is a challenge…A challenge that really puts your relationship with your teenager to the test. Entering the teen years with your child can seem like there are more struggles and less of the good little things that are so much more important to family life.
You must keep the faith and know that those small moments are there and you must look harder to find and cherish them.
The constant tug of war with your teen and all the other challenges that come with parenting teens can often overshadow the good parts of your relationship and cause you to miss the littlest things in life. It's these little things that make family and parenting worthwhile.
It should never take such a tragic event in our lives to make us see what's really important in our relationship with our teens.
Cherish those little things that you have and do everything in your power to create a positive environment that will help to foster more of those special moments that make families so important. Embrace each and every little thing that comes your way.
Never take your limited time with your teenagers for granted and make the most of all the good that comes your way.
Parenting teens is not a destination, it's a journey. You
have the power and the tools to make it the most positive journey
you can for yourself, your family and your teenager.
Creating a positive parenting environment in your home when your children are young helps to make the teen years a little smoother because of the strong early bonds that were created.
Knowledge is power, so do everything that you can to understand what the journey of parenting teens is all about.

Do Not Track' Rules For Advertising To Web Users Come A Step Closer To An Agreement
Aleecia McDonald, director of privacy at the Stanford University Center for Internet and Society, was quoted about her thoughts on the consensus draft document for Do Not Track rules by Somini Sengupta and Natasha Singer of The New York Times - Technology.
Web users should be able to tell advertising networks not to show them targeted advertisements based on their browsing activities — and those companies should comply. That is the verdict of the leaders of a working group that has been arguing for almost two years over how to establish a uniform Do Not Track standard for the Internet.
The group has been trying to arrive at a consensus draft document that outlines what it means when a Web user turns on a Do Not Track signal. Still unresolved and a major point of difference among the group's members is whether advertising networks and data brokers should be allowed to collect, retain and categorize that browsing data, using small bits of code and other methods that identify each user.
"On substance, with a great deal of additional work issue-by-issue, it is not impossible to make this draft work, perhaps in 2014," Aleecia McDonald, director of privacy at the Stanford University Center for Internet and Society, said on the working group's comment page.

Red Dead Redemption Preview
Most ghost towns boom before they bust, but in video games, the Western genre has always been eerily quiet. And that is about to change. We got our hands on Red Dead Redemption at PAX East, and let us tell you, the West is going to get wild when this game gallops onto store shelves in May.
I had to wait in line an hour and a half to see Red Dead Redemption at PAX East, and I was not thrilled. I knew that Red Dead Revolver had been a disappointment, and I'd also heard of some unpleasant drama at Rockstar's San Diego studio, so I felt certain that I was in for an underwhelming experience. When I finally got into the Rockstar booth and stepped up to the demo station, I could clearly see the main character, John Marston, and a vast southwestern expanse beyond him. I cocked my eyebrow and gave the game its first test, spinning the screen like a chamber with the R-stick pressed sharply right, waiting for the framerate to flinch. It didn't.
Instead, it spun like a well-oiled machine, rendering the whirling panorama and the cowboy at its center without a hitch in its giddy-yup. I wasn't prepared for this, but Red Dead Redemption was definitely prepared for me. In that one instant, questions about Rockstar's employment practices, the previous game's mixed reviews, and the worthiness of an hour's wait in line tumbled away like a weed in the wind.
Down on the D-pad called my trusty steed, which came running out of the landscape. I hopped on, and started trotting down a worn dirt path as other riders galloped past. I hit "A" and spurred the horse once - he picked up his pace but only for a few steps. I pressed "A" a few more times and spurred him to a brief canter. I spammed the "A" button and the horse flew into a gallop maintained with regular pricks and kicks.
I roared into a canyon and, as I started to slow, was passed by some riders. To try out the shooting mechanic, I pulled the L trigger and automatically aimed at one of their backs as they bounded before me. I pulled the R trigger and shot, knocking the stranger from his horse to tumble in the dirt as his steed pulled up. The other rider took off. A Rockstar rep informed me that he was headed to the nearest town to tell a posse of my evil deed, which would increase the bounty on my head. As the bounty grew and my reputation went south, normal people would avoid me, while more and more folk (some law, some worse) would actively hunt me.
I pulled up next to the dead man and dismounted. I rifled through his pockets and took his money, then mounted back up and rode further into the canyon. I happened upon two men in a section of the canyon that had lots of cover. Sensing an ambush, I dismounted and readied my weapon. It seemed like one of the men saw me, and moved over toward a box to take cover. He reached for a gun, but his upper body was completely exposed. I aimed and shot him between the eyes. Tamara, who was helping me with the demo winced and said "Wow, you shot him while he was peeing."
That's a bad way to go, but thanks to the handy map Tamara pulled up for me, I knew right where I was going. The map looked hand drawn, in the style of the Old West. The GTA style waypoint she set for me was decidedly futuristic, but I didn't complain. The waypoint lead me to a tiny path up out of the canyon and onto a mesa where I found a deserted town. On the outskirts a dirty grave robber named Seth was cursing the nearby bandits for stealing his treasure. I offered to go get it back for him, since I was itching for a fight anyhow.
As I approached the bandits' hideout in the ghost town, a few spotted me, took cover, and began to fire. I took cover behind a wagon, then popped out with my rifle and shot a few. The gunplay and cover system seemed very similar to Grand Theft Auto IV, although I did experience one excellent wrinkle: by holding the L trigger and pressing the R3 button I was able to enter Deadeye mode. Time slowed, and I drew my targeting reticule all over the body of a nearby bandit. As I did, little X's were deposited all over him. I then pulled the R trigger, time resumed, and BLAMBLAMBLAMBLAM, I shot all the places I'd marked. It was some rootin' tootin' shootin'.
Deadeye mode will clearly be useful when you need to shoot as many people in the head as possible, but more than that, it will turn you into the badass cowboy you've seen in TV and film. You'll be able to shoot thrown playing cards, the gun out of a bad guy's hand, or a dove in flight from horseback. And as the game progresses, you'll be able to upgrade the skill for longer and more lethal bouts of heroic precision.
Another cool feature is the wilderness itself. It contains gorgeous terrain, and in our brief travels we saw deer, coyotes, wolves, bunnies, crows and hawks. I shot most of them, skinned a few, and got attacked by others. I took these skins to town, where I could have sold them for money, but instead I wound up trying to hijack a stage coach. It took off out of town at full speed, and I pursued on horseback. As I galloped after it, spurring my steed, I fired away with my six-shooter while a passenger on the coach sniped at me with a rifle. It was at this point that I thought: "This is it. This is the Western I've been waiting for."
Of course, Red Dead Redemption isn't just a real deal Western, it's also a full fledged Rockstar game with GTA-caliber production values. And that means it packs all manner of organic, unscripted surprises. For instance, as I watched another player ride through town, I saw him approach a church. He was moving at a full gallop, and really closing in on the church, so he just bailed out. It just so happened that there was a signpost in his way, and he hopped off his fast moving horse and right into the signpost with a "THUD." In any other game, he would have clipped through it, or awkwardly bounced off it in a terrible display of hit detection gone wrong. But in Red Dead Redemption it knocked him back on his ass with awesome impact - it looked perfect. It didn't kill him, but it did kill everybody watching him play. It also reaffirmed the potency of LucasArts' Euphoria physics and animation engine, which Rockstar again coupled with their proprietary RAGE engine (like they did with GTAIV) for use in this best Western.
Unfortunately, I only had about twenty minutes to check out the game, and what you've read is what I've seen. I suspect you'd like to read more, and I'd sure like to see it. And we won't have to wait long. Though Red Dead Redemption won't trot onto store shelves until May 18, Rockstar informed me that they'll reveal multiplayer details on April 5. Mark it on your calendar with a little X.

My question relates to dealing with the dealer. I am not familiar with how deals are made when it comes to this type of equipment. Do dealers usually just deal the list price or are they usually willing to discount the unit? Just wondering what to expect when I start dealing with him.
Would you recommend going to a few other dealers in the general area to shop the best price (if they do that)? If they do discount, do you have any idea what a fair price would be for a $35K (list) tractor?

ok, I would suggest going kubota on both of them. Dealers don't make a ton on new equipment. Here is what I would suggest. I get a price from one dealer on paper and take it to another dealer and see what they will do. They may give you a price cut if you buy 2 machines from them.

BROCKPORT – The Horton Township supervisors met Wednesday at 6 p.m. in the Horton Township municipal office to discuss paving projects for Bundy Settlement Road and German Settlement Road, and revealed information regarding their upcoming fall cleanup day.
Roadmaster Randy Carr told supervisors that road work on Bundy Settlement Road should start today and continue through Friday. The work on this road is to take care of "several bad spots," according to Carr.

The Times deserves credit for getting the elusive billionaire Bill Koch on the record ("Politics shape Cape Wind debate," Nov. 1). It's hard to know whether to laugh or cry. Koch calls Cape Wind "somewhat of an irritant." Pretty modest for a guy who's spent a decade financing the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound, his personal front group with no legitimacy in the environmental community.
He talks about "visual pollution" but apparently has no problem with real pollution or the scars caused by his coal mines and industry oil rigs off the coast. He talks about the cost of wind energy, but what's the cost of climate change in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, Katrina and the BP oil spill? Bill Koch talks about cost, but he never mentions the decades of government subsidies for the fossil fuel industry, where he made his fortune.
America is decades behind Europe and China in developing offshore wind. It's a tourist attraction in Copenhagen. It's a job creator in China. It is America's future. And Cape Wind will be built.

Drum Mic Dilema
We practice in a studio that is about as big as a pretty big bedroom. It has a PA and the guitars plug in vocals only to the PA. Would you ever buy mic's just to have them at practice?
When we gig, 100% of the places we play have kick mic's. About 90% have kick and snare mic's. About 40% have all drum mics. If I bought a pack of mic's, it usually comes w/ a kick mic so I really don't need it unless I just want to use it for practice. I don't need mic's for practice but is it worth it just to enhance the sound? We practice about 4 1/2 hrs a week when we don't have a gig.
If I buy mic's for gigging out, is it really worth it? I worry about the fact that we usually play with a lot of other bands so I really don't have hardly any time at all to mess with setting up mic's. I barely get my kit set up when they're telling us to go. When we do have a place that have all the drums mic'd, I really, really enjoy the sound. If I did mic my kit, I was thinking something like the DR-DRM7 7-Piece Drum Mic but I don't think I would ever get to use the overheads very much due to time constains but maybe I could use it for my hats.
Have any of you faced this situation and what did you do?
Re: Drum Mic Dilema
Sounds to me like you don't really need them. There seems little point to micing the kit when it's just vox running through the PA in a small room. Unless you're recording your rehearsals (even then, with nothing else but vocals through the desk you could capture the whole band sound with a couple of well placed room mics), I'd suggest it's overkill.
That said, mics are always handy to have and are a good investment, if you actually need and use them. But if there's no real need to mic your kit for rehearsals and you don't tend to need your own for any live work...ask yourself, "Is there something I actually need that I can spend the money on?"
I'm not trying to talk you out of them here by any means, but it sounds to me like you want them "just for the sake of having them".
Re: Drum Mic Dilema
I agree with not needing them as much as you would like to think. I decided to look for a used set (demo models) online. I spent 1/2 the cost which made it easier to live with. The only time I have used them is on a couple of shows where we provided our own PA and some scratch recordings.
I decided to go with Audix Micro Ds and D6. They are very small and travel with me just in case I need them. Other than that they are at the present time a luxury. If you have the $ to drop on a small set, look for some good demo models from a reputable store on the bay or other. You will be happy you didn't spend too much dough on a new set that is just going to sit around in the jam room for most of the time.
Re: Drum Mic Dilema
Sounds like you don't need them to me. At your rehearsal, get everyone to turn DOWN instead of turning you up!

Re: Drum Mic Dilema
Playing in an original band for many years, I never had a need to own mics. All of the clubs we played provided sound for us. Now that I'm doing the cover band thing, we provide our own sound wherever we go. I have a nice set of Audix D series with an I5 for the snare. Great mics.
I wouldn't want to bring my mics along to a gig where a bunch of other original bands were playing. They would be just another thing to lose or have stolen.
I have, however, brought my D6 and plugged it into my 15" powered monitor when I did a one off gig with an original band. We played a club where they didn't use any mics on the drums. That gave me the extra kick I needed in order to be heard.

you have to realize that a person who spends all of their free time trying to be proud of something they really aren't is going to try to attribute most of what they say to someone else.
it's a form of shame. and coming from community that doesn't seem to have much of it at all, this is his/her special way of overcompensating.
all the hallmarks of a typical ghetto fairytale
grown "man" goes back to fight someone he faught with earlier, thinking that bringing several others with him is a "fair one". violence ensues.
he enlists a younger, more seasoned criminal, who still walks freely amongst us despite the fact that he has no business being outside of a cage.
bojangling ghetto fight calls of "wud up" fill the air until aimless shots ring out into the crowd now gathering to watch, incite and fight.
a young, unintended target hits the pavement dead
vigil attendee's gather to decry violence.

no mugshots for murder, huh?
and the gutless reporting forges on
an elementary school? really?
what's the matter, weren't there any churches, day care facilities or nursing homes in vine swinging distance?
that was the description issued by SU public safety reporting what the PS wouldn't. not an assumption, not profiling, just a recorded and reported description by an unbiased source that uses public safety as their standard, not race.
i've seen your posts and understand that you have serious, serious trouble reading and writing but the least you could do is make yourself look slightly less foolish by not trying to combat the facts taken and reported by SU safety (per the link provided by flourcity yesterday) and the other less cowardly media sources.
to those who can read, my post is aimed at the PS and their biased, race based reporting on public safety issues, not the fact more black scumbags are out on the loose waving guns all over town, because that we already know and know well.
i'm sure this comment will be lost on you as well. i don't and won't expect you to understand. just keep screaming "racist, racist, racist" anytime someone dares to question anything regarding black folk. it's clearly your only defense and just one more way to distract you from the realities of your place in the world.
cuseblood's racial rants
writing from an ACORN office near you...
suspect 1� male, black, 5�10� tall
suspect 2� male, black, 6�0� tall
at least your ultra left leaning "reporting" can still print the actual description of their height. which is nice.
say, do you guys think you can let us all know when you're ready to stop pandering to people of color when it comes to public safety issues?
it's only cowardice that is reflected by sparing the offenders.
"One of the worst implications of this entire episode is that censorship will be asymmetrical: Only those groups, particularly those who credibly pose a threat of violence, will get their way"

well, at least your ultra left leaning "reporting" can still print the actual description of the shirts and hats. which is nice.

much like the Yale Univ. press removing the danish/muhammad cartoon from the book "Cartoons that Shook the World", it's only cowardice that is reflected by sparing the offenders.

headlines you are certain NOT to see
"Police identify members of group that threatened, assaulted motorist"
"Child's primary caregiver acknowledges responsibility in neglecting proper supervision"
"North and Southside residents using sidewalks and recreactional areas for intened purposes"
...Galloway, a Syracuse fire investigator, said

5 out of a possible 6 sentences ending with the same thing. a model of consistency.
Galloway should have written the article for you Bob.
8 freaking kids?!? 13 between the two of them?!?
i can't fathom the scale of the financial burden that these two, their children and their future reproductive activity will have on "the system" for the many many years to come.
"i will say what i gotta say to your face; I am not afraid to speak my mind to anyone; face to face."
it doesn't surprise me that you have absolutely no clue that this is the same ghetto mentality that has landed so many from your community in the morgue.
maybe you should try to learn to just "Do the big thing and turn the other cheek."
"people on this forum...always have something hateful to say. Syracuse is such a racist, cracka, kkk town with upidy *ss whipes that sit behind their screen names"
proving your hypocratic point one hateful, anonymous belief at a time...priceless.
truthyouneed, some other things that are true...
you have a serious issue with race. the notion of only white men soliciting prostitutes in your area is as ignorant and transparent as the bloggers you're trying to scorn.
you don't seem to take issue with the illegal presence of prostitution itself. though you're bent on arresting all these terrible white men, you could just as easily focus on trying to arrest the prostitues (you "always" see) as well. your apathy is just as much of the problem.
lastly, boasting the merit of your education is exactly like people who brag about money. the only time you know when someone doesn't have much of it is when they're trying really hard to tell you how much of it they do have.
in the end i guess the real truth is that you're just some biased little teenager from a poor neighborhood that has a chip on your shoulder about race and weak writing skills to match a myopic opinion and intelligence inferiority complex.
to aawoman, (once again)
here are couple of things that seem to have been lost on you while writing that retort to the folks on here who have the nerve to be outraged by yet another brazen attack on the working class.
first, people won't dare to go into your communities and say anything because it's quite obvious that you hold little to no regard for human life. if as much as a chinese delivery is enough to deserve a brutal, depraved attack then you can be sure there is NO ONE wanting to waste time talking about these issues to folks who can't react to a simple situation without violence and probably wouldn't get it anyway.
second, many of the folks on here not only take issue with absurd events such as this, but also the true lack of reporting that has become the beacon of overly PC and liberal media policies. the only reason that we all know that these four young men were black is because they wouldn't dream of printing that very important component of a suspect(s) description. that in itself should be cause for concern.
third, this is not a career site. no one is interested in your resume. in fact, seeing that you can't seem to appreciate some of these ideas for what they are in plain and basic reality is a less than stellar endorsement of the matchbook institution that would have awarded you with such a degree. in one half sentence you are expressing your disapproval with the spending, the next half you decry it as something that must be done so that children have an opportunity to be successful. it makes about as much sense as proudly telling us you work and pay taxes�as if it somehow makes you special for doing what is already expected of us all.
and what in the heck does a child's success have to do with a government program that awards financially unstable families with multiple untraceable checks with no oversight except for the mere hope that they would actually spend it as intended? You think junk food, flat screen tv's, cell phones, hair extensions and air jordans are helping with truancy and literacy rates in this city? think again, or for the first time.
lastly, you post here for a chance to cry racism yet your screen name is a testament to how this evil enemy is still openly promoted by communities just like yours. if you were born in africa then you are african american. if not, then you're just another american.
looking for every chance to cry inequality, and in the same breath trying to distinguish yourself by race is as much of the problem as the actions of the very communities you are here trying to protect.
"released to the custody of her mother"
she would be better off in the care of a pride of starving lions.
another disgusting display of animal behavior.
another spineless, PC article that can only tell us what we already know by not printing it.
proof positive that ghetto trash now feels entitled to ANY $200 they can get their idle hands on. especially at the expense of the working man. thanks for the precedent Gov.
"i want to shoot him"
and "i want an A-10 to drop a JDAM on Frisbie Court and all the others in the city like it."
but we all can't get what we want...
"My kids play here everyday," Ingram, a mother of six, said. "That's just ignorant."
agreed. but what's worse is that you and your community still can't see the ignorance in not coming together and cooperating with what you see and hear.
someone, somewhere there knows who that person was, and probably why he was there shooting.
if you're going to allow the animals to run free by not standing up and speaking, that makes you just as guilty for letting your kids outside at risk of gunfire.
not saying this woman in particular, more just about the "community" mentality.
interesting to see that "failing to inform police of a change of address" for a level 1 creep can get a mugshot of this size plastered in the news on this site for all to see...
...yet NONE of our OWN city's shooters and stabbers ever seem to wind up with their mugs in the news.
fair and balanced reporting at its finest.
19,20 & 22
i'm sure all are career minded, goal driven worker bees that were only brought together by their fierce desire to do what is in the best interest of this child.
as they discussed 529 plans for college savings, an argument began when the proud father eloquently expressed his intent on raising the child to follow in his own footsteps of pursuing a dual english literature and philosophy doctorate from an esteemed ivory institution. his suggestions were met with stubborn resistance by the new boyfriend who's mind was firmly set on biomechanical engineering with a focus on sustainable living and eco-conscious community development.
or, they're just a bunch of freaking generation Y wastecase drama queen lowlifes living out their jerry springer gangsta fantasy on the public dollar with no sign or hope of anything that resembles a life of prosperity earned by hardwork and civic behavior.

Dawn Thiesen On Friday, October 5 at 10:24 am
How exciting, congrats everyone.
Mary Connealy On Friday, October 5 at 10:30 am
The thing that makes The Wizard of Oz so enduring is a very quiet, sweet truth that touches our hearts at the same time we barely realize it….which makes this movie work on a very DEEP level.
It is that, BEFORE the end of the movie and the bestowing of the heart/courage/brain/home:
The Scarecrow is the brains of the whole operation
The Tin Man is the sentimental heart
The Cowardly Lion shows deep, self-sacrificing courage.
Dorothy loves her home.
Yes, the Wizard refers to moments when they showed these traits but…if you watch The Wizard of Oz with the character traits of it's stars (and minor characters, too) in mind, you'll see that the Scarcrow was always thinking, always in charge, the leader of them all.
The Tin Man was forever needing to be oiled because he was crying, he felt everything so deeply.
The Cowardly Lion, while running scared at times, did put on that costume and go marching right in to the witch's castle, facing the thing he feared, which is the true mark of courage.
And Dorothy, yes, she's running away, but she is sacrificing the home she loves to protect her beloved pet. It's never that she doesn't love her home.
This theme creates an echo through ever character, good and bad, in this movie when their desires touches tender places in all of us.
What is really going on is they don't RECOGNIZE that they already possess that which they most want. This makes the movie about our own self-doubt, our own feelings of failure and our triumph over adversity when we can claim what is best in each of us.
That is the enduring theme and the true power of The Wizard of Oz and why it has lasted for the better part of a century and is still as fun to watch today as it ever was.
catwoman On Saturday, October 6 at 1:57 am
Let us not forget the author Frank Baum. He wrote an entire series of books featuring these characters –I discovered a copy at a yard sale — The patchwork Kid or something like that look it up on the internet.

Can hardly wait for the next PW Movie Quiz
marcia On Friday, October 5 at 12:20 pm
When I was in High School we did the "Wizard of OZ". I was selected to be the W W Witch of the West. What Fun!!! It is the best role ever! I absolutely loved Margaret Hamilton. I missed the question about Scarecrow's oil can, I was backstage getting my green fingernails glued on. Scaring little kids is a hoot!
Berit On Friday, October 5 at 1:14 pm
Ah, it was the very last question that I messed up on! Oh well…next time
tracy On Friday, October 5 at 1:22 pm
My alltime favorite movie!
BJM On Friday, October 5 at 2:08 pm
Well that was weird…I didn't miss all three I thought I might of…but one that is a no-brainer!
Faulty reading on my part, but still, missing two is pretty lame considering I can quote much of the movie at will.
Pepper On Friday, October 5 at 7:54 pm
Keep 'em coming!!
terril On Monday, October 15 at 2:40 pm
Congrats to the winners and thanks for the contest!!! Fun fun!!
Dorothy On Tuesday, January 22 at 3:51 pm
Dorothy of Oz is sure to be an instant classic for the whole family. The film is due out next year but the buzz being created is undeniable. Between the vastly talented cast and the original music, how could you not be excited! Glee's Lea Michele is in the title role as Dorothy Gale and she will bring such a fresh sound to the legendary character. Let us not forget Martin Short, Bernadette Peters, Kelsey Grammer, Dan Aykroyd, and many more bringing life to both new and older familiar characters!! Dorothy of Oz has all the components to be the new family favorite!
MommaDrew On Tuesday, January 22 at 3:53 pm
My daughters love watching Wizard of Oz, it will be nice to take them to see this new take on the original!

By Corey Sorenson
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Looked like Elton John had thrown his hat in for Pharrell Williams when it came to the Oscars on Sunday night. The singer hosted an Oscars viewing party in Los Angeles — part of an event to raise money for those with AIDS and HIV. John promised that if Williams didn't win best original song for "Happy," he would be "going home early." But since the award came late in the Oscars broadcast, John didn't make good on his threat. Among those attending the event in a huge tent a few miles away from where the Oscars were being given out included Lady Gaga, Steven Tyler, Quincy Jones and Britney Spears. Elton John autographed a piano that was auctioned off for $220,000 during the party and Tyler offered a five-night stay at his Hawaiian getaway s stay at his five nights in his Hawaiian getaway, which raised $100,000.
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) — Ozzy Osbourne says he has gotten help over the years with his battles against addiction. And he says he's happy to help another organization that also saves the lives of those who struggle with substance abuse. This year's MusiCares benefit concert will honor the Black Sabbath singer for his support of the MAP fund — which helps people in the music industry battle their addiction demons. Osbourne will perform at the event — along with Slash, who will do a guest turn on the guitar. The event is set for May 12 in Los Angeles.
NEW YORK (AP) — If Kanye West were a supermarket, the banner outside would read "Under New Management." Jay-Z's Roc Nation will take over the management of West's career when it comes to managing his production and music endeavors. Roc Nation already manages Rihanna, Shakira, Timbaland and other acts. We'll see if Jay-Z's influence will be able to get West to stop boasting about being an unrecognized genius and complaining that fashion titans are depriving the world of the opportunity to wear the leather jogging pants he claims to have designed.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — You can impress Blake Shelton with more than a big voice. Big earrings will also do the trick. Sisaundra (sihs-UHN'-druh) Lewis had on giant earrings that extended below her shoulders. She got all four judges on "The Voice" to turn their chairs. Sisaundra's a soulful singer, who may have surprised some by going with Team Blake. Usher continues to try to get a leg up on his follow coaches — this time with his foot. He waited until the last second to hit his button for the Brothers Walker, country-singing twins. But Usher used his foot on the button, so the other coaches wouldn't see him move his hands. Tonight, the blind auditions continue.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A lot of stars own planes. But for Dierks Bentley, it wasn't some status symbol — it was a necessity to help him stay close to family. He had his pilot's license for a while — but didn't think about buying a plane until he realized that he could get more time at home if he could fly to some of his performances instead of taking a bus. He says while he couldn't "afford to sit in the back right seat of a jet," he could afford "to sit in the front left seat of a prop plane." He says if that helps give him an extra night with his kids once in a while, it's worth the investment. Bentley has a new album out now, titled "Riser."
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Dierks Bentley says he isn't much of a winter sports guy — but he thinks he has a sure way to get to the Olympic games like the ones completed in Sochi last month: curling. In his view, gliding a ceramic "stone" along the ice to a target on the opposite end of a rink should be easy to master. Bentley says you can probably devote about five years to it and by then, be good enough to get to the Olympics. Other sports — like skiing or ice skating — he says you have to be doing that all your life to get good enough to compete for the gold. Bentley acknowledges his gentle put down of curlers will probably leave fans and experts of the sport mad at him, but he's ready for that.
NEW YORK (AP) — Herbie Hancock was born in Chicago. But he figures he has performed more in Japan than he has in his own hometown. And he will be returning next month for another gig. He will be taking part in an all-star concert in Osaka to highlight the third annual International Jazz Day. Hancock is an U.N. ambassador for jazz — and wants to show his appreciation for Japanese jazz fans — who are often more die-hard than those in the U.S., where the genre originated.

While Thompson brought ibogaine into popular parlance, credit for discovering the drug's medicinal potential is widely attributed to Howard Lotsof. A decade before the events that gave rise to Fear and Loathing, Lotsof was a junkie living in New York. Having bought some ibogaine for recreational use, Lotsof was astounded to find that when the hallucinogen wore off, he no longer craved heroin. Days passed, and he didn't experience any of the excruciating withdrawal symptoms associated with kicking a dope habit.
Lotsof, who died earlier this year of liver cancer at age 66, devoted his life to making ibogaine available as an addiction treatment. He experienced a significant setback in 1967, when the U.S. government banned the drug, along with several other psychedelics. In 1970, officials categorized ibogaine as a Schedule I substance—on par with heroin, marijuana and other drugs that by definition have "a high potential for abuse" and "no currently accepted medical use."
Eventually, Lotsof shifted his focus and began using ibogaine to treat heroin addicts at a rehab clinic in the Netherlands. In 1985, he obtained a U.S. patent for the use of ibogaine to treat substance abuse.
By the late '80s, doctors and scientists were confirming what Lotsof knew: Ibogaine blocks cravings and withdrawal symptoms for many types of drugs, opiates in particular.
"Its effects are pretty dramatic," says Dr. Kenneth Alper, an associate professor of psychiatry at New York University who specializes in addiction research. "I've observed this firsthand, and it's difficult to account for."
Dr. Stanley Glick, a pharmacologist and neuroscientist at Albany Medical College, was among the first researchers to test ibogaine on rats. Glick hooked up the rodents to IVs in cages with levers that allowed them to inject themselves with morphine.
"If the rats do it, you can be pretty sure that humans will abuse it if given the opportunity," Glick explains. "It's really the time-tested model of any human behavior."
Strung-out rats dosed with ibogaine stopped pressing the lever that gave them morphine. Glick and other researchers have subsequently replicated the morphine results with other addictive drugs, including alcohol, nicotine, cocaine and methamphetamine.
In the early 1990s, Lotsof teamed with Dr. Deborah Mash, a neurologist and pharmacologist at the University of Miami, to study the effect of ibogaine on people. Mash was granted FDA approval to administer ibogaine in 1993 and was able to test the drug on eight people before the experiment came to an abrupt halt.
"I was unable to get it funded," Mash says. "We had the rocket ship on the launch pad with no fuel."
A few months after the FDA gave Mash the green light, a committee of academics and pharmaceutical-industry professionals assembled by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) concluded the U.S. government should not fund ibogaine research. Earlier that year, a researcher from Johns Hopkins University found that rats injected with massive doses of ibogaine suffered irreparable damage to the cerebellum, the part of the brain that controls balance and motor skills. According to Dr. Frank Vocci, former director of treatment research and development at NIDA, the fact that ibogaine increases the risk of seizures for people addicted to alcohol or benzodiazepines such as Valium raised eyebrows as well.
"The question that was posed to them was 'Do you think this could be a project that could result in, essentially, a marketable product?'" Vocci recalls. "There was concern about brain damage, seizures and heart rate. But it wasn't so much that the ultimate safety of the drug was being damned; it was just felt there were an awful lot of warts on this thing."
Mash and Lotsof soon parted ways, on unfriendly terms. Lotsof sued his former colleague and the University of Miami in federal court in 1996, claiming her research had infringed on his patent. A judge eventually ruled in favor of Mash and her employer, absolving them of wrongdoing.
Lotsof went his own way, mentoring fellow former addicts who opened ibogaine rehab centers abroad. Mash opened a private clinic on the Caribbean island of St. Kitts and administered ibogaine to nearly 300 addicts. "It really works," Mash says now. "If it didn't work, I would have told the world it doesn't work. I would have debunked it, and I would have been the most outspoken leader of the pack. That's my scientific and professional credibility on the line."

Wilkins is one of Lotsof's protégés. Born in South Africa and raised in Los Angeles, she got hooked on heroin at the age of 20 while majoring in Latin American studies and psychology at Cornell University. Drug use led to depression, and she dropped out her senior year. She'd been trying to get clean using methadone for eight and a half years when her younger sister learned about ibogaine via the Internet. Wilkins, then 30 years old and employed as bookkeeper, read up on the subject, started saving up and, in 2005, shelled out $3,200 for a session at the Ibogaine Association, a clinic in Tijuana.

APD says they've seen a large number of homeless people setting up makeshift homes throughout the bosque. Those homes are often stacked high with furniture, blankets, clothes, food and random belongings that increase fire danger, especially a problem as fire season approaches.
This morning APD officers, city workers and Bernalillo County low-risk inmates searched the bosque looking for camps, clearing out and cleaning up the area and making the homeless people leave. One woman we talked to said she is glad they're cleaning up the area but hopes they're helping the homeless people as well.
"They're good people mostly, they're benign," Regina Corritore said. "Some of them aren't benign. With the feces and stuff it can get pretty bad but there's gotta' be something to do with these people cause they have a right to live like everyone else."
APD says they did bring their "COAST" Unit along. They regularly work with homeless people in Albuquerque, and will help connect the people they found today with resources. Police say the effort doesn't end today; APD Open Space Unit officers regularly patrol the area and are willing to even make arrests if need be.

"I was freaking out, I was ecstatic," said Worthington when the announcement was made on Sunday. "It was really fun for me because I knew I'd get to come home and see all my friends. There were just a handful of cities that we could have gone to, and the fact that it was Milwaukee, it was crazy."
"When Wisconsin popped up on the screen, he went crazy," said guard Anson Winder.
Worthington, who grew up in Mequon, 25 miles north of Milwaukee, has been hounded by family and friends for tickets to BYU's game against Oregon Thursday afternoon.
"I'm stealing tickets from my teammates and making sure they've got seats," Worthington said. "It will be really fun for them to see me and because Wisconsin plays right before us."
And if Wisconsin and BYU should meet in the round of 32?
"Oh, they'll root for me," he said with a smile.
Growing up in Wisconsin, Worthington was primarily a football player and was even recruited to play football at Wisconsin and BYU. But ultimately he chose his favorite sport, basketball.
"When the basketball offers started to come in, I had to pick basketball," he said. "My high school [football] coach really wanted me to play football, though."
When you see Worthington on the court, though, you can tell he was trained on the gridiron. He plays with a football mentality, physical and tough.
"I try to be as physical as I can," Worthington said. "It disrupts a lot of people's games. It irritates people down low when things get physical. If the refs are going to let the game go like that, you have to play the game that way."

Adrian Grenier Is Manjoyment Two Ways
While Yum may provide you with recipes two ways, I'll give you cute boys two ways, this time Adrian Grenier before and after a shower/shave in NYC yesterday. I can't decide which one I like better: slightly scruffy or clean shaven? Also, way to keep the same clothes before and after the shower? Whatever, I'm just happy to see him without Paris Hilton by his side for once. I guess he's taking a break from making that documentary, but in the meantime I have high hopes that the finale of Entourage will be better than much of this season. If you were able to tear yourself away from Adrian's baby blues and pay attention to the rest of this week's episode, take Geek's Quiz on all the Gadgets.

1 pound
ground beef
onion, chopped
carrots, shredded
1 stalk
celery, diced
1 teaspoon
dried basil
2 tablespoons
dried parsley
4 tablespoons
3 cups
chicken broth
3 cups
hash brown potatoes
1/4 cup
all-purpose flour
8 ounces
processed cheese food
1 1/2 cups
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup
sour cream
My mom made this for us when I was growing up and it's still a favorite. I've made my own modifications, though, which make it even easier. 1) Instead of Velveeta, I buy a bag of shredded Mexican style cheese. Bags of shredded cheese are typically 8 oz. on the nose. 2) Instead of shredding carrots myself, I buy them pre-shredded. Quantity should be somewhere between 3/4 and 1 cup. 3) Cut the butter in half, reduce the flour to about a tablespoon, and use ground bison instead of beef for a lower fat version. 4) Soy milk subs for the regular milk just fine. 5) Occasionally, I'll reduce the potatoes and make up the difference with cauliflower. 6) This is where it gets blasphemous: After you brown the beef, just dump everything but the sour cream into a crock pot and let it cook on low all day. That butter/flour bit? It's all just going to melt into the soup anyway! I swear it comes out the same and it's a lot less work. Sour cream should be added just before serving.
I made soup without too many changes and it was VERY bland. I left out the carrots and celery. I changed it up before serving and was much better - after a few days in the icebox it was even tastier. Next time I will brown the hashbrowns, onions and green chilis with garlic.
Some reviewers have suggested skipping the roux (flour and butter) but its definitly necessary. Do not skip or soup will be way too watery.
1 Jar (8oz) Tostitos Queso Dip instead of processed cheese
Added two cans of Rotel (tomato & green chili)
1 can of diced green chilis

AWESOME!!! My husband always raved about a Cheesburger Soup he eats at a local restaurant during his lunch breaks, so I decided to find a recipe. I used this one and the only changes I made were that I used fresh peeled and cubed potatoes rather than hash browns and I added more meat. He said it was better than any he's ever had! I had never heard of Cheesburger Soup, but you can bet I, too, am a fan now. Thanks for a great recipe!
Made this tonight and the family really enjoyed it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars, was because I had to guess at the type of hash browns that it was supposed to have (I used the Simply Potato Shreds that are found in the dairy aisle)
Very quick and easy
Great Soup! We loved it! I cooked the beef & drained. Then I added the beef, chicken broth, 2 c. of beef broth (I omitted the milk), vegetables, potatoes & spices.(I shredded my own potatoes.) I did not use any margarine. I thickened the soup & added low-fat Velveeta cheese. Using fat-free sour cream this makes a Weight Watchers entree worth 5 points if you make it for 7 servings.
While this is not exactly gourmet cuisine (come on, it has Velveeta!) it is really delicious. It's wonderful creamy comfort food for a cold day. I added a dash of cayenne, and didn't have the sour cream, but I'll add it next time. I also made it in the crockpot, sauteeing everything first and then tossing it in. Everyone loved it, even my hates-everything five year old. This dish will be a new regular.
This was SO good! I was really surprised at how this turned out... not at all what I was expecting... much better! I followed the recipe exactly, except for omitting the milk because I was out. I think next time I will skip the flour because it was almost too thick. Thank you, thank you!
This soup was pretty good. I did make a few changes, I sauteed the beef with garlic, worcestershire and dried parsley to give it some flavor. I used shredded sharp cheddar cheese and completely omitted the milk, which left the soup thick and stew-like. I served it with cornbread and we all enjoyed the meal.

President Barack Obama on Monday officially nominated Justice Department official Thomas Perez to his become secretary of labor, but several Republican lawmakers indicated Perez could face stiff resistance in confirmation hearings on Capitol Hill.
Obama ended weeks of speculation and formally tapped Perez to lead the Department of Labor during a White House ceremony. Perez will become the only Latino in the president's second-term cabinet if he is confirmed. He will replace outgoing Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, who is Mexican-American. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, the only other Latino in the cabinet, is expected to leave his post at the end of the month.
See Also: Thomas Perez: Only Latino Cabinet Pick
During the ceremony, Obama said Perez's story as the son of Dominican immigrants who worked to pay his way through college "reminds us of this country's promise," and urged the Senate to "act swiftly" to confirm him.
"Tom's knowledge and experience will make him an outstanding secretary of labor. And there's plenty of work to do," the president said during the East Room event, calling Perez an "advocate" for middle-class and immigrant families.
Perez's nomination earned applause from labor unions, which praised his support for worker protections, as well as from Latino advocacy groups, which urged Obama to select more Latino candidates to fill the handful of vacant cabinet positions.
"Thomas Perez is an eminently qualified public servant who has the professional experience and compelling personal story to serve at the highest levels of the administration," said Janet Murguía, President and CEO of the National Council of La Raza. "We hope that President Obama will continue to add diversity to his cabinet and consider qualified Latinos for additional cabinet positions as well as other senior-level presidential appointments."
But Perez could encounter a tough grilling from Republican senators, who have painted him as too liberal on issues regarding immigration, voting rights and labor laws.
Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) vowed he would block Perez's nomination until the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) answers more questions about a lawsuit filed against Louisiana that alleges state agencies violated federal law by not providing voter registration forms to low-income voters. As head of the Justice Department's civil rights division since October 2009, Perez oversaw the Louisiana case.
Vitter also questioned Perez's role in the controversial New Black Panther voter intimidation case. Under the Bush administration, the Justice Department brought charges against three group members and the organization itself, claiming that they intimidated voters at a Philadelphia polling place during the 2008 presidential election. But after the Obama administration took office, charges against three of the four defendants were dismissed, a move that provoked the ire of conservatives.
"Thomas Perez's record should be met with great suspicion by my colleagues for his spotty work related to the New Black Panther case, but Louisianians most certainly should have cause for concern about this nomination," said Vitter said in a statement, alleging that Perez has acted in a partisan manner in the past.

When Jesus visited the home of Martha and Mary, Mary sat at his feet listening to him teach while Martha was in the kitchen preparing a meal. We are often reminded of the good choice Mary made, but we must remember that Martha is also a saint! So when the time came to name our food ministry, we chose to honor Martha.
Every Friday morning from 7:30 to 9 a.m. our ministry members prepare and serve a fresh, nutritious breakfast to anyone in need. All our guests are welcomed and greeted with courtesy and their special needs are accommodated. They may take as much as they need and stay as long as they like, enjoying a second cup of coffee while reading the day's newspaper.
For those in special need, we also offer toiletries and are always looking for new ways to help. Staff of our local homeless service organizations also come by to offer assistance. We are also very proud of the fact that students from Good Shepherd School also help to serve.
You are invited to join Martha's Kitchen and help as you are able. In addition to those who serve on Friday mornings, there is also a Thursday evening preparation crew, those who shop and plan menus and take care of all the details necessary to ensure the ministry proceeds smoothly, a time of grace for guests and hosts alike.
