On Wednesday morning, President Obama left the White House and made a six-mile drive from the center of the richest city in America to the east side of the Anacostia River, where nearly half of the children are poor. It was an appropriate location for a speech on the American economy, and in particular for Obama's announcement that he would devote the remaining three years of his presidency to income inequality and declining social mobility, which he called "the defining challenge of our time."
"The idea that so many children are born into poverty in the wealthiest nation on Earth is heartbreaking enough," the president said. "But the idea that a child may never be able to escape that poverty because she lacks a decent education or health care or a community that views her future as their own—that should offend all of us. And it should compel us to action."
The actions Obama laid out included several progressive policies (although none of them new), including an increase in the minimum wage. The speech was another indicator that inequality will be the issue that animates Democratic Party politics in coming election cycles.
Contrary to what John Cowan and Jim Kessler of the dubiously Democratic think tank Third Way say, there are many signs that economic populism is the right message. However, it's one thing to assume the language; it's another to live up to its demands. As many others have pointed out in recent weeks, confronting economic inequality exposes the dilemmas of a party that has grown close to business interests.
To really reverse the cycle of economic and social stratification, to significantly increase investment in schools, infrastructure and institutions, means big changes to the tax code—way bigger than closing loopholes in exchange for lower corporate tax rates, as Obama proposed in his speech. It means taking on Wall Street, not promoting bills written by banks to undercut financial reform. It means reconciling the lip service Democrats pay to labor and education with attacks on teachers and, broadly, the undermining of the public education system. It means a firmer rejection of austerity. It means, in effect, stabbing the Big Money that all politicians have come to rely on in the post—Citizens United era in the back.
Obama's speech exemplified some of the quandaries within his party. He called for several specific progressive policies that have broad Democratic support, including a raise in federal minimum wage, universal pre-K, the Employee Non-Discrimination Act, extending long-term unemployment insurance and ensuring that women are paid equal wages for equal work. He called for stronger collective bargaining laws "so unions have a level playing field to organize…for a better deal for workers and better wages for the middle class." All of these policies are needed, and overdue. They're also popular among voters, and the fact that congressional Republicans are likely to prevent them from being enacted is fodder for Democratic candidates.

The other day my publisher here at the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette appeared at my desk carrying a textbook designed for Bible courses in the public schools. Walter Hussman knew I'd be interested, since one of my many obsessions is the role of religion in American life.
Wait a minute. Is that legal - to teach the Bible in a public school? Didn't the Supreme Court nix that kind of thing? No, it didn't, although that's a common misconception. The court ruled against imposing prayer on students in the public schools, not studying religion. To quote its decision:
"Nothing we have said here indicates that such study of the Bible or religion, when presented objectively as part of a secular program of education, may not be effected consistently with the First Amendment." - Abington v. Schempp, 1963.
But how teach the Bible as just another part of secular culture? It's a little like thinking of the sun as just another star, even though its light can be overwhelming.
Yes, it can be done - by teaching the Bible as literature - but it takes considerable judgment, both legal and literary, to do it right. And the result, like putting anything holy under the microscope, may never be wholly satisfactory. It's like trying to dissect awe.
Well, nobody ever said following the First Amendment would be easy. That first and greatest of the Big Ten, aka the Bill of Rights, bars any law (1) respecting an establishment of religion or (2) prohibiting the free exercise thereof. How thread your way past those two obstacles?
This text - "The Bible and its Influence" by Cullen Schippe and Chuck Stetson - sets out to do just that by taking pains not to teach the Bible but to teach about it, mainly its influence on literature and on American culture in general. Examples of that influence abound, and the finest ones share the Bible's own power to move us:
There is Lincoln's Second Inaugural, which comes as close to the spirit of the Old Testament as any American state paper. And Martin Luther King's speech from the mountaintop on the eve of his assassination. Consider just the biblical allusions in the "Battle Hymn of the Republic." Or in Negro spirituals. And so indefinitely on.
Not to exclude the freethinkers and Deists and children of the Enlightenment who populate American history, but biblical themes are inseparable not just from the imagery but from the very idea of American freedom.
Pulitzer Prize-winning Paul Greenberg, one of the most respected and honored commentators in America, is the editorial page editor of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.

David Hasselhoff, star of the original KNIGHT RIDER television series, may return to NBC's remake, premiering September 24, according to SCI FI WIRE.
"He is talking to NBC next week, and we are working out everyone's schedule," said producer Gary Scott Thompson. "I don't want to put him in just for the sake of having him drop by; I want there to be a good reason for him being there and have it be part of the story. I talked to David about a way of doing that, and so far he likes it. It's a cool idea."
Thompson's dream scenario would involve teaming Hasselhoff's character Michael Knight with Justin Bruening's Mike Tracer with their cars, the original Pontiac Trans Am (voiced by William Daniels) and the new K.I.T.T., a Ford Mustang GT500KR (voiced by Val Kilmer). "I don't know if it will happen. It's all about timing," Thompson told SCI FI WIRE during a set visit this week.
A KNIGHT RIDER pilot aired earlier this year; the series picks up the story, centering on a high-tech crime-fighting team operating intelligent car K.I.T.T.

Kids' reaction to new Disney movie may not be what you expect
"The Odd Life of Timothy Green" is the latest movie from Disney. While Disney flicks are typically a safe choice for kids, a couple parents captured a reaction to the film from their two boys that you might find surprising.
Spoiler alert: Stop reading if you don't want to know film's ending
In a video recorded by the parents, the boys are seen in the back of the car sobbing so hard they can barely speak.
"He had to die. I didn't want him to," cried the children. "It was just so sad."
"This goes on and on and on because this character they've invested their emotions in had to die," says Seattle Morning News host Bill Radke.
A woman in the vehicle tries to explain it's all part of the circle of life, but the boys don't seem OK with this.
Radke says he completely understands where the kids are coming from.
"I completely felt for these kids," says Radke. "Do you remember when you realized that you were going to die and your parents were going to die? Do you remember that? Because I sure as hell do I was about the age of these kids. I was wrecked."
Hearing the parents laughing in the background, Radke is shocked. He thinks its not OK that they're recording the kids trauma.
But co-host Tom Tangney sees the humor as a parent.
"I completely relate with the parents," says Tom. "There are so many moments in a parents life where they are just relishing the moment as parents because kids are overreacting - I don't get a candy bar, oh my God. They throw themselves - the parents have this perspective on these kids and they're recording it for posterity."
Radke still says posting the video publicly is way too much.

do they forget THEY control the purse, and authorize spending.... NOW, teaparty section refuse to pay for what Congress authorized to buy??? i agree cutting spending should be front burner, but disagree the way to do that is to shut down our government. Congress is at fault, not the Executive Branch, already. I rest my cse.
If they need to debt ceiling increased to pay for what they have already planned to spend, that means they spent more than they had authority to spend. If they need to increase the debt to pay for what they have spent, where did they get the power to do that. You cannot continue to spend and THEN increase the debt to pay for it and survive as a country. At some point in time those in power have to look at the revenue being collected and they available funds to spend and make them match, just like million of American families are forced to do on a daily basis. Obama's statement is a crock. He is looking for a way to spend even more and use the debt as the reason to increase taxes. When that happens they will simply spend more and ignore the existing debt. It is a death spiral that is already out of control and no one in Washington will admit it or take action to halt the spiral.
a very important question 'pinhigh' (where did they get the power to do that) ~ and as usual, the dems have obama power, and the money probably came from our S.S. Trust Fund .. again !
There's a serious flaw in your logic. You state that they control spending, but at the same time you are complaining that they are trying to control spending. Maybe we need a little more than a hair's width of consensus before we dramatically transform the economy with a law that will impact everyone? Just a thought.
NO ... both house & senate were controlled the Dems at that time .. that's why they won .. (Initiated & backed by Obama)
... I rest my CSE, smiles !! ..
Need health care coverage? Just dial 1-800-F**KYO to reach Obamacare's national hotline
Posted By Katie McHugh On 12:26 AM 10/03/2013 In Politics | No Comments
Need health insurance? The Obama administration has you covered. Simply dial 1-800-FUCKYO to reach the next available health-care provider.
Far from being a mistype, that's the official number that Health and Human Services wants Americans to dial when seeking health care. Obamacare's national call center really did list its number as 1-800-318-2596, helpfully spelling out President Barack Obama's tendency to blatantly flip the bird in plain view.
After allowing for the lack of letters attached to 1 on a traditional American telephone keypad, the number spells out a clear message. For every duped voter, every young invincible weighing the cost of a penalty versus a newly tripled yearly deductible, every ailing old granny in a wheelchair (whom, remember, Paul Ryan wants to push off a cliff) who needs adequate and affordable health care, Obama's message is:
That's 1-800-FUCKYO. Sadly, the Obama administration failed to swap the useless 1 for a more functional 8 to complete the heartfelt message, perhaps in consolation to former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel's tragically shortened middle finger.

Do children still read Anne Frank?
In Canada we recently celebrated Remembrance Day, when we remember all victims of war and the coming of peace after WWII. I had selected a number of books surrounding war, non-fiction and fiction, and placed them on display in all three of my elementary libraries. I found several books about Anne Frank and chose to read A Picture Book of Anne Frank by David A. Adler to a rowdy 2/3 class (ages 7-8). I was surprised when a hand shot up when I got to the second page, "Miss, what is a Nazi?"
There was a German boy in the class, so I tactfully explained that Nazis were an army that were formed in Germany and that they blamed the Jews for their problems. Immediately: "Miss, what is a Jew?" We are a Catholic school, so I explained that Judaism is a religion, and they are like big brothers to our religion.

There is no place like home
Rendi had no idea how difficult running away from home would be. Tired and hungry, he finds himself employed as a chore boy at an inn in the Village of Clear Sky. Even though he has a bed and enough to eat, he sleeps fitfully. The moon has gone missing, and the night is filled with a strange, mournful crying that no one else seems to hear.
When Master Chao, owner of the inn, first hires him, Rendi is resentful. He has nothing but scowls for everyone, especially Master Chao's young daughter Peiyi. Then the lovely and mysterious Madame Chang arrives, and his attitude slowly begins to change. Madame Chang has an inexplicable presence that emanates peace. She tells fascinating tales of ancient times and seems to understand what lies in everyone's heart. When she encourages Rendi to tell stories of his own, the boy finds he cannot help but share something of his past. The contempt he originally felt…

Bedtime proves challenging for older siblings
Jessie stands and pulls at the rails of her cot, staring at the bedroom door and crying. She will not go to sleep. Big sister, herself not more than 8 years old, shares a bedroom with Jessie and is finding it more than a little noisy! The tension escalates as, no matter what, Jessie will not stop wailing. Dad tries taking Jessie out for a drive, Mum tries changing her nappy, big sister plays music and gives her T-Bear - but still the crying continues.
This story is slightly different in that it reverses the usual "bedtime shenanigans" and tells it from the point of view of the baby and big sister. Mum and Dad offer support in the background while big sister and Jessie are the focus. This is the genius of this simple picture book. Every young child who has a baby in the house or has been with a crying baby, has a little empathy for the…

Gripping WWII novel wins awards
Marie-Laure LeBlanc often visits the Musée National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris where her father works as the principal locksmith. Although she lost her eyesight at age six, she knows the museum and its staff well. Perhaps the most intriguing object in the institution is a priceless diamond, said to be cursed, that is locked behind a series of small doors. No one at the museum is permitted even to open the doors to look at it until the Nazis occupy France. Then, in order to prevent the stone falling into enemy hands, the museum director sends four trusted employees out of the city, each carrying a stone that may be the famed diamond or simply a copy. In this way, Marie-Laure and her father find themselves trying desperately to leave the capital, with thousands of other Parisians, and make their way to St. Malo where Mr. LeBlanc's Uncle Etienne resides. Etienne, a troubled veteran of the Great War, lives in…

Revenge-seeking ghosts steal ship from museum
Lewis Dearborn is "terminally shy". Perhaps it is because he is an only child; perhaps because his parents, particularly his mother, are exceptionally over-protective. Whatever the reason, Lewis has one true friend: his 101-year-old great-grandfather. Lewis cannot help but feel honored when Great-Granddad's last words are addressed to him: "Libertalia. You!" What could it mean?
Lewis refuses to believe his mother, who assures him that it is simply the rant of a senile old man. Mrs. Dearborn is more convinced than ever that her grandfather was off his rocker when his will is finally read. She is to inherit everything as long as her family lives in his dilapidated beachfront house for at least six months. (Actually, she will inherit everything but his ship in a bottle. That goes to Lewis.) Lewis does not mind. When they arrive, Mrs. Binchy, the housekeeper, gives Lewis the key to the tower where his bottle awaits. Lewis immediately falls in love with the…

Five reasons why you should read aloud to your kids and pick their favorite book
As parents know all too well, children love to re-read their favourite books over and over again. While this may feel painfully repetitive to adults, there is something in the text that is bringing children back time after time. Children benefit greatly from re-reading as they learn the rhyming or predictable pattern of the text – rather than spending that time trying to understand what the book's about. Research shows that repeated reading of favourite books can boost vocabulary by up to 40%. But this is only truly beneficial when the text is read aloud.
Research shows that when preschool children are frequently read to, their brain areas supporting comprehension and mental imagery are highly engaged. Studies show that this helps with the development of reading skills, such as word recognition, when they start to learn to read. By assisting our children to develop these skills, we're ensuring that…

Not all popular books are worthwhile
Serafina has spent the twelve years of her life hiding in the basement of the Vanderbilt's Biltmore Estate in Ashville, North Carolina. She realizes that she and her father are not supposed to be living there even though he works at the estate as a maintenance man. Still, she cannot help but wonder if he is not a little ashamed of her. She is different. She only has four toes on each foot, sees exceptionally well at night and has a talent for catching rats.
She might have spent her entire life in obscurity. One night, however, she discovers an evil, mysterious visitor in the estate: a dark, powerful man in a cloak who absorbs children. The entire Vanderbilt household - family, servants and guests alike - are thrown into a frenzied panic searching for the youngsters. Although her father warns her not to get involved, Serafina feels an obligation to help the children she sees disappearing. She ventures out…

Author captures the essence of the ANZAC legend
How refreshing to find an author like Claire Saxby who has gained an understanding of the ANZAC legend through her use of primary sources (that is, original soldiers diaries, letters, newspapers and footage from the time) in researching for her book, Meet the ANZACs. Primary sources are of great importance to authors and historians in research and have enabled Saxby to show the true motivations of the Anzac soldiers.
Claire introduces her book by showing original footage (see below) of recruitment film courtesy of the Australian war memorial. Drawings by Norman Lindsay are also featured in the film. It is fascinating to have a look, and gives the flavour and mood of 1914.
Meet the ANZACs opens to a single, clear statement on what ANZAC stands for (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) also stating unequivocally that the ANZAC name is now a symbol of bravery and mateship. Then there is a typical Australian country scene…

Best books for girls ages 10-12
A parent who runs a local book club asked me if I could put together a great list of books for girls. There is such a range of reading abilities and maturity found in girls transitioning to the teenage years. Some tend to be only interested in adventure (try Brian Jacques' Salamandastron), while others are right into romance (try The Shadow of the Bear by Regina Doman). For this reason I have put together a list including quite a mixture of themes.
I have done my best to tack on virtues to each book, since this is often looked for in book clubs. These tags do not describe all the virtues contained in the story, but they do alight to the character and theme of the book.
Finally, I recommend the books on this list, but not every book written by the authors. AVI, for example, has a couple children's…

In response to the News' Nov. 25 editorial, "Wanted: Politicians with backbones," I agree with the first two paragraphs. Two examples may need some clarification.
This article was obviously written by a liberal Democrat. Let me say that in my opinion, the current president and other elected Democrats were voted by people of which 95 percent fall into one of three major categories: those who are either totally uninformed, unbelievably ignorant or those living on welfare and who want to stay there.
We want to thank everyone who supported our recently held Perry County Memorial Hospital Auxiliary Holiday Bazaar by buying baked goods and craft items, making gift-shop purchases or bidding on our silent-auction items, or by just enjoying our turkey and dressing luncheon.
The Tell City Junior-Senior High School Renaissance Program served hot chocolate to its students, staff and faculty this Monday for the holiday season.
This would not have been possible without the generous donation of many cups from C&S Inc.
Renaissance and the entire school would like to thank you for your donation.
Tell City Junior-Senior High School Renaissance Program
I was reading the stories on the front page of the Dec. 12 B section. I like them and agree with every one of them.
Tell City is a small town and it always will be. I have lived here all my life. I cannot see me living anyplace else. Bigger cities have a lot more crime and traffic.
There are a lot of good people living here. I think it is just a shame though you can't even buy a 2-by-4 board here in town. Some new stores open, some close. Do you ever get ahead?
Horse Rescue South Inc. would like to say thank you to the following for their support:
I live at 4525 Boyd Road. My hobby and passion is growing beautiful flowers. It is something I love to do and I am good at it.
Two months ago I made five new flower beds with perennials I have been growing for four years.
Two weeks ago, while I was at work, the people who are burying the telephone line all over Perry County came to my yard. What they did to my yard is a crying shame. They tore it completely up and there is nothing left of my five flower beds. I can't even find a single perennial.
I'd like to respond both to GOP politicians along with their Tea Party followers about their accusations that Obama is abusing his power. I'll respond by asking them a few questions.
1. What if Obama or any other president suspended the Writ of Habeous Corpus in response to a national emergency? Do you then think he should be impeached?
The United Way of Perry County has been helping individuals and families in our community for over 40 years by funding organizations that provide services focused on health, education and financial stability.
VNA Plus (formerly known as Visiting Nurse Association) is one such agency that began serving the health care needs of Perry County residents in 1979, in large part as a result of United Way funding.
Recently I read an article by Marlin Betts and in this article he went on to share his views on the state's proposed amendment to ban same-sex marriage. He is not alone with his views, as they are shared by many in this country who feel that gay marriage goes against their religious beliefs, and wish to uphold the country's "Christian moral standards."
During the 2012-13 school year, St. Paul Ministry of Charity aided many children by supporting the Perry County Weekend Food Backpack Program in our county. This program supplies food over the weekend for children who come from homes where food is not always available to them. Nearly 3,400 weekend backpacks were distributed to 110 students from the three county schools last year.

I think this thread has kinda got off track. From reading through the messages from the original poster, I got the impression that the biggest part of the issue is the lack of a relationship and communication with the young adult yet the expectation of money without any accountability. Even though the poster is experiencing heartburn over the money, if the young adult would communicate such as - this is my plan - go to school for X area of study, for X amount of time, and yes I need to have health insurance - I believe the poster would be able to work through the issues with much less emotional stress.

Report: Young headed to Wolves | Thompson miffed over trade talks | Report: Rockets re-sign Garcia
No. 1: Reports: Young headed to Wolves in Love deal — As was first reported last night by Jerry Zgoda of The Star-Tribune, once Kevin Love is trad to the Cleveland Cavaliers happens (it's likely to be tomorrow) for Andrew Wiggins, the Minnesota Timberwolves will get Sixers forward Thaddeus Young from Philly as part of another deal. Here's a quick look at what will happen in that trade:
The Minnesota Timberwolves will acquire Philadelphia 76ers forward Thaddeus Young for a 2015 first-round draft pick and two role players, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
The Timberwolves will send Philadelphia the Miami Heat's 2015 first-round pick Minnesota will acquire as part of the Kevin Love deal with Cleveland, sources said. The T-Wolves will send forward Luc Mbah a Moute and guard Alexey Shved to the Sixers.
Mbah a Moute has a long-standing relationship with Sixers rookie Joel Embiid, and Philadelphia considers him an important part of the mentoring process for the third pick in the 2014 NBA draft.
While Young, Shved, Love and Mbah a Moute are the known players in this deal, there is a chance that last year's No. 1 overall pick, Anthony Bennett will head to Minnesota, too:
The deal cannot be completed until Aug. 23, which is 30 days after Wiggins signed his rookie contract with the Cavaliers. (more…)

With 16,000 votes for more than 70 different Open Source Content Management Systems nominated for the award, Joomla! was judged winner of the final. After eight weeks of voting from visitors to www.PacktPub.com and judges from The Open Source Collective, MySQL, the Eclipse Foundation, and CMSPros, Joomla! triumphed with the most votes, winning $5,000.
Joomla! is the youngest CMS of the five finalists having originated by the then Mambo development team in August 2005. Joomla! was chosen due to its ease of installation and use along with the active development and community that supports the project.
Core team member Alex Kempkens said the award was a wonderful surprise. "I would personally like to thank Packt for their contribution to the Joomlasphere — by publishing Joomla! guides and by running such a successful competition," he said.

Goldman Sachs Reiterates Buy on Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance on Repurchase Authorization
In a report published Monday, Goldman Sachs analyst Matthew J. Fassler reiterated a Buy rating and $93.00 price target on Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance (NASDAQ: ULTA).
In the report, Fassler noted, "ULTA announced its Board has approved a $150 million share repurchase authorization, effective immediately, that will be funded with available working capital. There is no stated expiration for the authorization. While it is unusual for companies to repurchase shares at multiples as high as those currently afforded ULTA (22X our 2013E EPS estimate, and 18X 2014E), we view the new authorization as an incremental positive, and consider the buyback a good use of capital relative to other options."
Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance closed on Friday at $74.14.

I went to my daughter's 5th grader Reading Rivalry Competition at Middleton Elementary School today. It's an annual event. Last year Amy participated and her team got the 3rd place.
This year, her team did better and won the first place. She was very happy about it.
This morning right before school, she was still re-reading one of the 12 books each team had to read for the competition.
Reading Rivalry Competition is a readingprogram that encourages kids to read. Amy loves to read and doesn't need any outside motivation or incentives for reading. But the competition was still a great motivation for her to read with a clear purpose and goal. She read all 12 books (and reread some of them) which was not required for individual participant, but she did it. So she could help answer all questions.
Later after school my son had Academic Triathlon regional meet at Woodbury Middle School. His team got the 3rd place in the group and didn't make it to the state meet.
I like my kids to participate in all kinds of school activities. Whatever programs their schools offer, I encourage them to participate – Math League, Math Masters, Academic Triathlon, Geo Bee, Spelling Bee, etc. But they only want to participate in some of the programs they think they are good at. For me, they all provide good learning opportunities.
I love to see my kids participating in school programs and actively doing something, instead of watching TV or playing games. I am sorry to see the programs come to an end, but on the other hand, there is also a relief that it's over and I don't need to pick them up from school or drive them somewhere any more.
Thanks to all parent volunteers who have given themselves generously and coached the teams. Without you, these programs won't be possible.

The Untitled by sandrodcpereiraWatch
©2011-2016 sandrodcpereira
Wait, is it story-telling time, already? Why, yes! Yes it is! Here we go:
Well, that day is today! I give you The Untitled, an homage to my humble beginnings (surprise: the little guy is actually me! Boo!). Looking at the finished picture is like traveling back in time, high-fiving my 14-year-old self and saying "LOOK AT THE AWESOME STUFF I CAN DO! LOOK!"
Once upon a time, there was a little guy who liked to draw. He dreamed about one day becoming an artist, but an artist he was not. Still, he drew. Every chance he got, he drew. At school, on the bus, at home, everywhere! He drew some nifty stuff, too: cool-looking cars, silly-looking cartoons, epic-looking dinosaurs, you name it.
One day, though, something happened: there was an idea, an act of expression. He picked up a black ballpoint pen, created something dark and moody, and it was awesome. Better yet, he felt like an artist, for the first time in his life.
The boy was immensely happy, and showed it to everyone. People thought it was cool, and he was very proud of his work. Not just because of the way it looked, but also because he knew that, past that point, there was no stopping him.
Later, he gave the drawing to a friend, and painted a new version more carefully and patiently. That one was even more awesome, and was put up for exhibition in his high school. Unfortunately, he never got it back, and had only a crappy digital picture for him to remember it by.
That crappy digital picture was his first submission to a little website called Deviant Art, seven years ago.
He called it Angel, (even though the original never had a title) because of the blue tint the picture gained after he inverted the colors and, like it happened with the other drawing, people seemed to like it, too! People which he had never met, people from distant places. How cool was that?
Pretty cool, yeah, but it was time to move on. The guy became the most amazing artist in the universe (well, maybe not yet), but promised to return to his first masterpiece when the time was right, and repaint it to its fullest potential!
Well, that day is today! I give you The Untitled, an homage to my humble beginnings (surprise: the little guy is actually me! Boo!). Looking at the finished picture is like traveling back in time, high-fiving my 14-year-old self and saying "LOOK AT THE AWESOME STUFF I CAN DO! LOOK!"
I actually came to Your page to say thank You for a favorite, and that i saw this here.... This drawing totally took my breath away - it is so awesomely epic, I cannot describe it. Its a perfect example of the fact, that its not only details what makes You "wow" - its the simplicity with a really, really deep thoughts behind Your work. Before I can even think of the meaning of this piece of art, I find myself already there with all those feelings, sadness, rain, darkness... A true masterpiece, what makes you kinda loose your words. Instant fave!
Oh, wow! That's the kind of comment that makes all the work worthwhile. Thank you so very much!
When I saw the thumb for this I thought it was a photo with some trick lighting. This is a great drawing you have made!

Brandy's Summer Job LbNA # 32271 (ARCHIVED)
|Placed Date
|Jun 17 2007
This summer, I got a job in one of Connecticut's many state parks. On weekends, I'll be working in the ticket booth. My hours are Saturday and Sunday from about 8 am to 4 pm (possibly until 5 later in the summer). I'll be in the little toll booth house as you drive in. :)
To get this box, all you have to do is ask me if my name is Brandy! I'll be happy to hook you up.
If you come, you should also look into my personal traveler, and probably my Naxscio mystery as well, as it usually isn't too too far from me!
There are lots of great letterboxes already in this park, some old and some more recent. I'll hook you up with a trail map. :)
Now all you have to do is figure out which park! I've left clues around... just think about where I live. With gas costing an arm and a leg, I don't want to work TOO far from home! :)

I agree with two of the above suggestions of prune juice/ enema. Drink lots of water throughout the day. Try mineral (sparkling water) you might find it more appealing. Otherwise STAY AWAY form sodas, fruit juice or any sugary drinks. If this is your #1 LO, be aware that this is a BIG problem immediately postpartum as well. The exit of baby, et al, will leave guts all squishy (technical term). Good luck!

This is so breathtaking, awesome, impressive... the list goes on.
Wow, amazing work!
i reaaaaly like this one very cute
Wonderful and intricate ^.^
this is fantastic--wonderful details!
that is awesome.
I saw the head and almost thought it was real. Wow. The fur/feather texture is a nice touch, and I love the jewelry on his chest.
I like him, do you do trades?
thanks. Sometimes, on a rare occasion. what would you have in mind to trade?
I make custom knives and tools, and I also do woodworking. You can check out my gallery for some of my works. If you have any ideas let me know.
Cool, I will have to get back to you. too buisy at the moment but would be interested to do a trade sometime.
No problems, I know how it is! I do like what I see of your work. It seems that it is not so much purchasing one of your works, but adopting it. They have so much personality! Also, if you are into fiber-form, people have been telling me I could scale up some of the shapes of my wooden tops and make custom drop-spindles.
And mine! So glad I was able to grab him
you've done it again, amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing work! You could sell these at a renaissance festival.
OMG that is just.. wow!!!
Very nice work on the merge of clay to fur on the head and legs! That was the hardest part for me on my Squirrel Fox.

Wow! Did he already sale? Needle felted wings? I love all the different use of textures. I'm always afraid it won't look right, but you blended them all together perfectly. If he's not sold yet would you take payments on him?

Is this normal for doctors to do this without mentioning it?
I didn't know my doctor was stripping my membranes
Is this normal for doctors to do this without mentioning it?
I don't know if that's normal or not but I would be upset if my doctor did that! They should tell you what they're doing to your body!
It happens, which I guess makes it normal, but it is not Okay unless you are okay with it. Dr's should not be performing any procedures on their patients without informing them.
There is actually a name for it, it's called Birth Rape. Of course there are much more extreme things that Dr's do to women, for example examining their cervix while they are asleep due to pain medication.
It should not be a normal practice.
Mom of Two!
DONA Doula in Maine!
( . )( . ) Gold boobies!
I dont think its normal at all............
Mamma to DS born on 9/23/11 and excited for our next bundle EDD 5/24/13
I think it is pretty normal actually. They can strip membranes with varying degrees of aggressiveness, so they can do it and you might not even notice, it would feel just like a regular check. It doesn't bother me, but I guess some people feel violated if they do that without permission. I don't think doctors feel like they really need permission for it though.
I think doctors are always in a hurry between their clinic patients and hospital patients. That's why it's important to ask questions during your appointments. They might forget to mention things like that since they do it so often. Just last week my doctor visited me at the hospital at 9pm and the next day at 9am again (in scrubs). The next day after I was discharged I saw him during his clinic hours. He is one busy man!
"The wine we have created kinda tastes like a cross between doe urine and jalapeno juice. And it smells like coon pee." - Duck Dynasty
i think this is wrong. Any procedure should be cleared with you ahead of time. Unless its an absolute emergency or something, and this is not. No one should be stripping membranes without permission.
Riley Thomas 3/22/08 Abigail Raine due Sept 28,2011!
My doctor drew out picture and explained in detail what it was, what it could do and what the likely hood was that it would work. Then she asked if i was interested... and the second time my other doctor also asked if I was still interested before she did it... Not to mention my doctors (one is a resident, the other a veteran doc) narrate everything they do '' now I am at your cervix, now I'm reaching up and feel baby's head, etc.''
I find it odd and troublesome that a doc can't take the time to do the same, especially since these procedures are being done before your due date.... Not right at all!
Chris (29) DH (30), DSD (4)
Baby Boy born Sept.16th, 2011!!
Mine did the same thing yesterday. She had had a hard time finding my cervix a few weeks ago and was really reaching around up there, so I kinda thought she was doing the same thing yesterday. Then afterward as we were talking about my induction next week (ugh), she said something along the lines of "Well you could still go into labor on your own, especially since I just did some stripping just now." I was like.. hmmm.. nice of you to let me know!
<3 FTM to Elijah - Sep 21, 2011 ( . Y . )
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
Some doctors do this. I think it's wrong and would be livid if it happened to me. He could accidentally prematurely rupture your membranes which can totally change your birth, you could end up with a c-section. I think it's appauling.

As people age, they may begin to lose their hearing as a result of the natural aging process. One of the most common causes of hearing loss is exposure to loud noises.
There are also medical reasons for hearing loss like viruses, bacteria, heart conditions or stroke, head injuries, tumors, and certain medicines. New studies have revealed some surprising causes as well, like diabetes or hypertension.
Over 5% of the world's population 360 million people – has disabling hearing loss. 1 in 3 people OVER THE AGE OF 60 have hearing loss. 1 in 14 Generation Xers (ages 37- 48) already have hearing loss. 1 in 6 Baby Boomers (ages 49-68) have hearing loss. 1 in 5 Teenagers have some type of hearing loss.
