Do you really living with PWS?
Hi everybody,
I was wondering how many people really can say they know how it feels to live with PWS. Since there are so many kinds of PWS, I would like to know how you live with it. If it is on your face, (in my case) how does it effect your day by day life, or if it is in different areas where people can not see it unless you show them. Do you go to the end of the world to remember to cover up your PWS so nobody can ask questions, or make comments.
I have no choice to live with PWS on my face day by day, I can not cover it up with make up as well as others, because my PWS is puffed out and with make up on it looks like I have three very large bruises. Plus, I am a guy and there is very mixed feelings about guys wearing makeup, so I only do it in very very rare conditions.
Anyways, I deal with pointing, staring, questions, name calling, laughing, etc, etc on a daily basis anywhere I go including at work when I am out on the stores retail floor. I admit it was allot harder when I was in grade school then it is now, coming home crying daily because everybody made fun of me because I was different.
I learned to let it roll off my shoulders and not let it bother me, if it is a child I educated them so they will not be affrad to make friends with other people with birth defects.
Personally I think my PWS has made me a better person with in myself. It keeps me open minded aswell.
Parents can help comfort the feelings and try to understand, but they really do not, because they do not go thru day by day, every day of their life. I have to look at mine everyday I look into the mirror, but after awhile you and your family get use to the condition, and greatfully do not treat you differntly.
If anybody would like to share their story about how the live with PWS or choice not to live with it and keep it covered, I would like to hear from you.
Re: Do you really living with PWS?
This really doesn't have anything to do with what you were asking but my son is two years old and he has PWS on the left side of his face, head, and neck. I often think about what it will be like for him when he starts school and gets older. I want him to be a strong person and be confident. Do you have any suggestions on what I should tell him? Did your parents give you any advice that has helped you ?
The reason I'm asking you is because you seem like you have alot of self confidence.
Re: Do you really living with PWS?
Hi Valerie,
This is part of what I was talking about.
Just make sure you give him lots of loving, and always tell him to be himself and nobody else can change that. One thing I strongly recommend is if you have other kids "do not" treat him any differently then the rest. It will back fire. I happen to me. My parents kept me very sheltered, and I suffered for it. I did come home allot crying when I was in elementry, but the kids at school will get use to it as they grow up with your son. I then became pretty popular. I stayed in the same school district the whole why thru grade school. That helped allot.
I hope this helps, if you have any other questions please ask.
Re:Living (coping) with PWS?
This is my first post and actually my first visit to the site as well.
I guess I should start by giving a description of myself. I'm 36 years old and have a very large PWS that covers my entire left arm, hand, the left part of my chest which is also mirrored on the left side of my back.
I've been having laser treatments for 5 years, with very slow progress. Everyday I wish the current technology was available at the time of my birth. That said, everyone with children having PWS please have them treated as soon as possible. They will be most grateful.
Back to the progress being made. My chest and arm have improved, so much so that with continued treatments I feel I will not have any worries when I'm older. However, I do have concerns with my hand. The vessels are pretty dense and are very stubborn. Treatment is much more painful to this area and recovery is uncomfortable. I fear losing range of motion in my hand, not to mention the cosmetic side of it. As far as my back, my first treatment will be made next week Tuesday (Feb. 15th) To be honest, I've waited so long to treat this area because I can't see it!
OK, now to the actual subject of Hank's thread. How do you deal with PWS? As I age, unfortunately, I've become more conscious of my birthmark. In the summer I will wear long sleeves when it's 80 degrees out, my left hand is constantly in my pocket, etc. I sometimes want to feel bad for myself because I work out and try to keep my body in good shape, and it drives me crazy that I can't take my shirt off as much as I'd like! Wanting to be vain, how ironic! Another good example of having to deal w/ PWS, I recently married (June 25), and I asked if it was ok to have my wedding band placed on my right hand instead of the traditional left hand. I was hoping there wasn't any symbolism with the left hand and my priest said that either hand is fine and that in Europe it is customary to have it on your right hand anyway. So, everyday I'm reminded of my difference in appearance. I just try to cope with it the best I can.
I'd share a photo of my birthmark, but I'm so conscientious that I'm hardly captured on film with the PWS showing.
Two things I'd like to add before I sign off:
1.) The little boy that had treatment on his face (I believe he may have glasses) really made me feel good, I could feel tears welling up - HE LOOKS FANTASTIC!!
2.) To the young lady from Singapore, forgive me for forgetting your name, you are a very pretty girl! Keep smiling!
I had immediate positive feelings to every other person that posted or displayed a picture but I just don't have the time to comment on all of you. I could write for days...
Have a great day and thanks for the opportunity to write about a subject I don't normally talk about.
Re: Do you really living with PWS?
I'd like to add a few words.
I do not PWS. I do have an extensive venous malformation on the left side of my face. I'm sure that the issues are much the same.
My suggestion is the same as Kevin's. Treat early!
Children are often very cruel. Teenagers can be worse.
In an age where kids are considered outcasts for not having the "right" sneakers, I think it crucial to do as much as possible to help improve your child's appearance.
All the self esteem in the world can be shattered with the right words from peers. Coping skills are important, and they should be taught as early as possible. However, being left out of important social events such as proms can have lasting effects.
I was well into my thirties before realizing my appearance is not who I am.
I am a mental health counselor who does group therapy.
At 48, I still catch myself at times wondering what others think of my appearance. I don't think the scars ever fully heal.
The certainly can be minimized with the right tools..and the right treatment, of course.
I am also available to answer any questions from "an adult who has been there" perspective.
Handk-I'd love to chat someday. I, too, see drs. Waner and Berenstein!!
Re: Do you really living with PWS?
Hi Kevin,
I am glad you are here on this site, we need more adults with PWS to share stories. I just wanted to let you know that your post was very nice. It brought back allot of memerys. I can not wait to hear more about you and what you have gone thru.
I agree with you about the kids being treated. They would be very grateful to not go thru what you and I did growing up.
I really hope your laser treatment starts to show progress. I have been doing laser treatment for 14 years off an on. I have PWS on my face and head.
I really look up to you, in finding your sole mate. I hope to find mine someday. I do not know if you are awere but your condition is not gentic so you whould not pass your PWS onto your children.
I can not wait to hear from you.
Re: Do you really living with PWS?
Hi Anne,
I am glad to see you on the site. I think your therapy skills might come in handy on this site. I give allot of advice from a personnal point of view, but you have both. I think you could give allot of advice to other adults and teens here.
A VM is similar to PWS, but not the same. We do go thru the same problem with other people pointing and stareing at school and in everyday life.
I agree with you 100% When you where talking about the whole image at school and fitting in with their peers. I was there in one point of my life.
I would be happy to chat someday. Email me when ever you get a chance. I have surgery on the 17th so I do not know when I will be back on email.
Talk to you later.
Re: Do you really living with PWS?
I was honestly slightly saddened by reading these posts to hear that people are struggling with living with a PWS. I am 26 old year woman with PWS covering most of side of my face. I have had option of surgery and make-up, but I refuse either. I love who I am and I am not ashamed to show my face to the world. Yes, I have had some people give me hard time in my life and I used to come home from some places crying when I was younger. Yes, I do get stares and pointed at in public at times, but I try to never hide my face and I either do not acknowledge them, or just politely smile and move on. I realize that it is human nature to look when something is slightly different. I actually greatly appreciate someone just asking me if it is a birthmark, especially young children. I think that people have been easier on me because they know that I am not embarrassed by who I am. In fact, I NEVER had a student from school give me a hard time at all. It was always just people who I met in passing. I actually received countless complements from others at school for being proud of myself and they thought that my birthmark was beautiful. I think that my different experiences and outlooks comes largely from early experiences. My parents never made a big deal about it and they would always walk away when people were mean, and then tell me that they didn't know better and there was nothing wrong with me. If I came home crying, my mom would let me cry and then make go back out and face the world. They always gave me option of make-up or surgery, but I didn't want it. I am glad that my parents never had my birthmark removed when I was younger (they tried but technology was not successful), because it has formed my personality and gave my the strength in life and confidence that I have today. My heart goes out to others though that do struggle and I wish you the best of luck.
Re: Do you really living with PWS?
Hi cv123,
I want to first welcome you to the Site, second I want to thank you for your imput on this topic. As you already know I am 22 years old with PWS on the face.
I do understand allot of what you where talking about, and allot of it does relate to me. My parents made me go to treatment when I was a child. They use to hold me down to do the surgery. Now I have no choice but to continue laser treatment because my PWS is growing. (hyperplagia in my lip, nose, and eyebrows). Laser treatment was not effective for me either. After 14 years of it I gave up, but I have had plastic surgery now to reduce the areas.
I agree with you my PWS has made me a better person, people can not always see that unless they give us a chance to show them who we are. Even for a guy I have to say I have used make up to cover my PWS, but it just does not feel right. The adults and the negativity torwards the PWS is what bothers me. Children on the other hand do not understand, and when a child comes up and asks me I educate them so they will not be affraid. Someday they might meet a person their own age with a birthmark and become friends. Parents get embaroused about it, but I tell them it is not the childs fault, they have not had sience classes yet they do not know what a birthmark is.
Again, thank you for sharing your opinion and I hope to hear more about you and your positive reinforcement.
Re: Do you really living with PWS?
Hi All,
Just to introduce myself: I am in my 30s and have a large birthmark covering my entire left leg. I live in NYC so hope to make an appointment with this Dr. Waner next week. I haven't been to a specialist in ages but want to get it checked on, see if there's any new treatment, &etc.
Living with a birthmark. Sigh! I think we're all very brave. I felt quite alone in that as a child. It definitely affected my idea of my own beauty for many years. To the present--that aspect is much easier. My leg swells sometimes, and to deal with that I do a lot of yoga. It seems to help a great deal. To be honest, yoga has allowed me to take off my shoes and expose my ankle and leg, something that I did not want to do for a long time. I think that will tell you a great deal about my own experience with a birthmark.
Nice to meet you, and I will report on Dr. Waner after an appointment. If anyone else has been to Dr. Waner, I'd love to hear from you about your experience, birthmark, and treatment.
Thanks for this opportunity.

Never quite finished this, would have liked to add a sword/ or maybe reins, but may update it later.
What brush did you use for the red fur behind his head?
Did you use textures for the armour?
Did you use textures for the armour?
I had a fur brush set but I can't remember where I got it from. For the armour it was just different metal'y brush types layered upon each other. I think for that one I used "Mark Molnar" brushes but nowadays I generally use the "Dan Luvisi" brush pack. They're both pretty good ones.

- Indian stocks have been on a tear, in part boosted by expectations this spring's elections (they take place across 5 weeks in April and May) will hand the ruling Congress Party its worst-ever defeat and sweep business-friendly Narendra Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party into power.
- Not so fast, writes Sadanand Dhume, reminding sweeping policy change isn't a given, but instead depends on two unknowns: The nature of his coalition and whether he will go beyond the cautious steps offered on the campaign trail. Credit Suisse's Neelkanth Mishra concurs: "We disagree with the consensus view that elections can revive the investment cycle."

- "We need to see a sustained drop in inflation for the central bank to start cutting rates," strategist Tirthankar Patnaik said before the WPI report. "We don't expect the RBI to change its stance in a hurry as price pressures remain in the economy."

- India's government has called the what is set to be world's largest ever election, with 814M people registered to vote. A nine-stage process is due to start on April 7 and the results are scheduled for May 16.
- The favorite to gain the most seats in parliament is the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led by Narendra Modi, who has the backing of big business and has built up support amongst the middle classes. He touts a strong economic record as chief minister of the state of Gujarat, and has pledged job creation, efficient government, and to make trade a focus of foreign policy.
- However, the BJP is not expected to win a majority in parliament, which could make enacting reform tricky.
- Modi is up against the ruling center-left Congress Party headed by Rahul Gandhi of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty.
- Companies have delayed investments until after the election, and while this might slow the economy before the ballot, as HSBC says, "pent-up demand is set to be released after the elections are over."

- Count Goldman Sachs Asset Management and William Blair Investment Management as buyers of the rupee as it tries to recover from record lows set last summer (it's up about 10% since). It looks "cheap" relative to India's improving external finances, says Goldman, taking a "small long" position.
- William Blair has poured 20% of its foreign-exchange holdings into the rupee - enticed by the higher yield and inexpensive valuation, says its Brian Singer. A dollar-based investor will 9% interest owning the rupee this year, the 2nd-largest return in Asia, according to Bloomberg.
- "Current-account numbers have been the key driver because it's a very transparent measure of whether the policy prescriptions are having an impact," says Goldman's Philip Moffitt, "If you can find something that's relatively cheap and the fundamentals appear to be improving, it's usually a good mix."

- "International monetary cooperation has broken down," says India central bank boss Raghuram Rajan, a day after the Fed boosted the size of its taper and made no mention of melting-down emerging markets. Rajan joined counterparts from Turkey and South Africa this week in boosting rates to try and stem the slide in their domestic currencies.
- "The challenge is brought on by their own domestic policies," says former Fed Governor Randy Krosner. "It's unfair to say it's all the Fed's fault."
- Back in his IMF days in 2011, Rajan authored a report calling for the formation of a committee composed of representatives from the major central banks who would report on the spillover consequences of their individual policies. Good luck with that one.

- The MSCI Emerging Markets Index (ETF: EEM) is off 22% from a peak set about three years ago, with the most recent slide coming as currencies tumble. Central banks have begun hiking rates to combat, with India overnight boosting its benchmark for the third time in six months and Turkey expected to take action today (an announcement is due at 5 ET). The South African central bank meets tomorrow, but a rate hike is not necessarily on the table.
- As usual, the unwinding of an epic credit bubble in China and the effect on growth tops the list of fears. One trust product - the China Credit Trust - narrowly avoided default this week thanks to a mystery third-party rescue.
- Buy the dip, says Ashmore head of research Jan Dehn. "There is some serious dumbing down going on in financial markets right now when it comes to EM. EM debt levels (especially external debt), EM's general reliance on external markets, and EM's reserve holdings have all improved beyond all recognition over the past 10 years."
- Loomis Sayles' Peter Marber: "Compared to 1998, emerging markets hold over $7T more in hard currency reserves to cushion themselves from market volatility. For most emerging markets, the problems today are nothing like the problems of the mid-1990s. Very few countries are near default, and those that may be are relatively small."

A knifemaker since 1939, in January 1941, John Ek started producing knives in quantity in Hamden, Connecticut. By 1943 he was making six different styles of knives. By August 1944, demand for his knives had grown to the point where he had three shifts working around the clock seven days a week, to produce 10 different models.[1]
All of the knives made during WWII by Ek were numbered to help the owners keep track of them if they were lost, and because he guaranteed each knife for the lifetime of the original owner.[2] By keeping the original owner's name on record, he could follow up his lifetime guarantee system. Ek had very strong feelings about restricting his knives to active-duty US servicemen.[1]
It is reported that President Franklin D. Roosevelt kept a John Ek Commando Knife on his desk in the White House until the time of his death.[3] General George S. Patton, Jr. owned a John Ek Commando Knife (as did several of his subordinates); Ek eventually named his Model No. 6 the "Patton Knife".[3][4] Captain Clark Gable, while not necessarily expecting to see combat, purchased a number of Ek Knives while he served.[3]
Post WWII[edit]
In 1949 John Ek moved to Miami, Florida where he continued production of his knives. From here he provided knives to American forces during the Korean and Vietnam wars. Miami-produced knives were marked "John Ek Knives, Miami, Fla.", whereas earlier knives bore the "Hamden, Conn." identification.[1]
John Ek died on October 21, 1976, but the business was continued by his son, Gary W. Ek who had worked for his father as a knifemaker since 1971 prior to John Ek's death. Due to the growing crime rate in Miami, the Ek family decided to relocate the operation to St. Augustine until 1982, when they moved it to Richmond, Virginia.[1]
Current Ek Knife President Robert Buerlein took the reins in 1982 when he convinced John's Son and his Mother to move the company to Richmond, VA, with the new company slogan of "Constant Improvement". New knives have been introduced, developed by Gary Ek including the Raider/MCMAP Knife, authorized by the U.S. Marine Raider Association.[5] Handles were made of finely grooved black Micarta and hand-checkered walnut handles were offered as an upgrade. Machined brass X-nut screws to fasten the handle became standard instead of the original poured lead rivets. Blades were ground out of stainless steel and were mirror polished. Ek knives produced lower cost models with a handle made entirely of green or black (and occasionally "desert camo") wrapped parachute cord and a heavy nylon-webbing sheath in a matching color. A number of variants, such as Ek bowie knives, hunting knives, throwing knives, boot knives and reproductions of other WW II patterns such as the Australian bowie and a copy of the Murphy-pattern combat knife were produced.[2]
Blackjack Knives[edit]
In 1993 Blackjack Knives bought Ek, and moved production to Blackjack's plant in Effingham, Illinois.[6] Leather scabbards were discontinued to cut costs and the nylon-webbing sheath was instead substituted on all models. As Blackjack endured internal problems, they began producing small lots of different knives marked with the Ek brand in an attempt to catch the knife-buying public's attention.[7] Blackjack went bankrupt in 1997 and sold the remaining stocks of knives to Century International Arms.
Current production[edit]
In 1981 Robert A. Buerlein obtained the rights to Ek Knives from John Ek's Widow Elsa Ek, and her Son Gary Whitney Ek who had been operating the Business since 1971, and resumed production in Richmond, Va.
In 2014 KA-BAR Knives announced that they would acquire Ek Knife brand and manufacture them. Ek Commando Knives made by KA-BAR are scheduled to be available in 2015.
World War 2 in the United States was a time of steel shortages as it was a scarce strategic material. The U.S. Government War Production Board tested and approved the designs of John Ek's knives and authorized continued availability of the nickel-chrome-moly steel which he used. Subsequently, he was admitted to the Army Ordnance Association.[4]
Ek found the nickel-chrome-moly steel to be strong, yet stain and rust resistant. In later years Ek would use Swedish Sandvik stainless steel, upon request. In April or May 1939 John Ek designed the first John Ek Commando Knife which he named the Model No. 1 and that was the only model that he planned to make. The Model No. 1 had a single-edged blade of spearpoint design, with a sharpened false edge extending approximately three inches along the back edge of the blade.[4]
Ek later developed a double-edged version of this named the Model No. 2. He added crossguards to these versions, designating them the Model No. 6 and No. 7 respectively (today these are referred to as the No. 3 and No. 4).[2][4]
Several aspects of Ek's design made the knives distinct and rugged. The knife was made with a full-width, full-length tang (the extension of the blade which runs through the grips) construction. Not only did the tang run the entire length of the grips, but the tang was the full width of the grips. Most knives of the day (even ones made today) had narrow "rat-tail" tangs, many running only one-third the length of the grip. Ek believed his full tang design made the knife inherently stronger.[4]
Ek's knives featured an extended butt, a direct extension of the blade and the blade tang itself protruding beyond the end of the handle slabs anywhere from nearly 1/2 " to 1". This allowed the butt end of the knife to be used as a pry bar for opening ammunition crates or, according to Ek's 1944 manual, Your Silent Partner, for "an upstroke to lay your opponent out." Another use of this extension was to protect both the hand and the wooden grips when the butt was used as a hammer. The extended butt of the Ek Commando Knife may have inspired the design of the "skullcrusher" pommel on the First Special Service Force V-42 Stiletto, which appeared in 1943.[5]
Ek preferred wood grips to leather, as the leather was prone to rot under tropical conditions. He found the rock maple grips he chose to be more comfortable and to provide a better grip, especially when the hand was wet with perspiration, than the brass/alloy grips of the British Fairbairn-Sykes Fighting Knife. The wood grips allowed the owner to custom fit the grip, by sanding, to the exact contour of his hand. For a number of years, Ek included a piece of sandpaper with each knife for this purpose.[2]
Ek preferred his knives without crossguards for ease of concealment and for quick withdrawal as there was no crossguard to snag on clothing or a soldier's equipment. The grips on Ek's knives had eight scalloped groves:four on each of two grips. This gave the user such a good grip that John Ek found that a crossguard was not necessary to prevent the hand from sliding onto the blade. When questioned about this by the War Production Board, Ek greased his hand and plunged one of his knives into the wooden floor with such force that no one was able to pull it out.[4]
The "Poured-Lead" Rivets which were used to affix the two wooden grips to the blade tang were unique to Ek Knives. Most knives at the time used standard cutlery rivets or pins, or they were simply driven onto the rat-tail tang. The Poured-Lead Rivets had the advantage that, if the grips ever became loose, they could be tightened in the field without any tools. All the owner needed to do was take a heavy object, such as a rock, and pound the lead rivets to tighten them. Another advantage of the Poured-Lead Rivets was the extra weight which made the knife balance far better than most, as it added weight to the hilt. This caused it to fall into the hand, rather than fall out of the hand.[4]

Hey everyone! Since the semester is coming to a close, I know all of us are working to make our next semester schedules. While doing this, I saw a class that may interest a lot of you. As you know, this class deals with Modernist poetry, so if you have been interested in the Modernist movement, this might be a fun class to take. I'm not sure if the screen-cap will show up, but the class is called: The Modern Novel: Dysfunctional Families and Unspeakable Desires. I'll paste the course description below:
"The Modern Novel: Dysfunctional Families and Unspeakable Desires": The twentieth-century novel seems haunted by dysfunctional families and unspeakable desires. Our class explores landmark novels that have come to define literary Modernism, with works featuring a disastrous Christmas dinner with screaming family members; an undergraduate from Mississippi obsessed with his sister; an anxious evening wondering if Mommy would kiss her son before bedtime; a man preferring bondage to marriage. We will analyze some of the literary techniques that characterize the Modernist novel (stream-of-consciousness, interior monologue, psychological realism, narrative fragmentation, among others), and we will address the many desires and intimacies that Modernist writers located upon the family, even as their protagonists sought to escape from it. We will explore these issues across a range of texts, most which remain enormously popular among that fabled figure Virginia Woolf called "the common reader." Authors we will read include Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, William Faulkner, Marcel Proust, Franz Kafka, Samuel Beckett, Joseph Conrad.
I instantly signed up when the description revealed we'd be reading Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury" (and even if you don't take that class, I recommend this book), and overall it seems like a really interesting class that could offer more insight into the Modernist literary movement.
The class meets every Tuesday & Thursday from 2pm- 3.20pm, so if you need another class or this seems interesting to you, I recommend signing up before all the spaces close up!
EDIT: The CRN for this class is 3415, in case you were wondering!!

Speedpainting, speedpainting...
This is amazing work! The sleek, smooth design...this deserves to be in a movie
Powered armor gotta love it
loving the light shimmering off the helmet and its design
Umm... God?
Very nice colour work. It works well for a nice focal point around the helmet.
dude that is also a very striking rendition of a P90, for someone who has used it twice in your gallery, that should show that you may need to know what the hell it is. at least you were a little bit nicer in the comment section here. take it easy bro and kickass speedpainting!
thats awesome, but i think he looks a little chubby...
Insane, insane XD
Very impressive, keep up the work bud.
Very impressive, keep up the work bud.
Very nice! :]
awesome. awesome. awesome.
I wish I had your skilllss.
Hoh....the hotness of lighting. I love it.
awesome armor design and light. i love when light that just just draws your attention
Wow, nicely done. The bulky armor really gives it a feeling of a real soldier and power.
Hehe, I like that little guy in the corner. I almost didn't notice him at first because I was too busy admiring the gun and the helmet on the bigger dude. :]
Your speedpainting style is very nice and lively! So many little details to get lost in to..

Nope. I cant find it. O_o It has to be something supernatural, a jpg-ghost or something...! Whoooah...
Nope. I cant find it. O_o It has to be something supernatural, a jpg-ghost or something...! Whoooah...
v cool!
I love the textures in the bottom half of the picture. And the rest is cool, too.
I like it!
Very simplisistic but very good impact. I like.
You got a feature
i like the concept the soldier looks powerful but the armor looks rather bulky almost like he couldnt move.
great design of the helmet!and i love the bulkiness of the armour - really gives the sense of power
Small head and small hands compared to rest of the body always gives an sense of power.
i know, but the body is a bit spindly, that's what i meant. I know having all the figures with big macho chest doesn't go for realism, but maybe bulk out the armour a little....just a little creative licence, you know?
Sweet lighting and texture
Colors are awesome
Wooow this looks awesome
you should have more faves and front pages!!!! oyu are amazing!!!

Well, according to my cousins, I'm a really good actor too. Pity I didn't have a custom motorbike, knew how to ride it and a costume of Ghost Rider.
Good thing I didn't go to your house. O_e I always fall for those things.

Active in the California Republican Party since fifteen, Meredith worked on numerous local campaigns in Orange County, California. After attending the Republican National Convention as a youth delegate at sixteen, Meredith commenced an internship with Congressman Christopher Cox and then worked for California Assembly Republican Leader Scott Baugh.
Meredith has served as a contributing editor of St. Anne's audio journal on social and theological issues, interviewing key political, theological and academic leaders. In addition to regular appearances on television programs and national talk radio shows, her articles and policy work appear in numerous print publications.
Meredith was appointed by Congressman Tom McClintock to the California Republican Party and is a Vice President of the California Republican Assembly.
Meredith has extensive public policy experience, having worked as the Legislative Liaison for California's premier pro-family public policy organization, Capitol Resource Family Impact.
The first female graduate of the Torrey Honors Institute at Biola University, Meredith received Biola's 2010 Young Alumni of the Year award. Meredith received her juris doctorate, with cum laude honors, from Oak Brook College of Law.
It's not often that both the Right and the Left agree on tax policies, but they have found common ground in opposing a new tax system proposed in California.
The standard for achieving shock value these days has reached an alarming level. A jaded, cynical, technologically sophisticated populous is inundated with images, behavior and language that just a generation ago would have been considered disgusting and prurient by any community's standards.
With the ascent of the Internet, modern political warfare is now increasingly waged online. The Obama presidential campaign raised millions of dollars through the Internet last year, and in doing so set a groundbreaking benchmark for utilizing social media to engage voters.
When government steps outside the bounds of its proper authority, the consequences can be devastating. Too often we're told that increasing the size and scope of government programs is compassionate or beneficial to society.
Florida Gator quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow is known for being an unconventional college football player.
As pundits attempt to analyze California's financial meltdown, there's talk of how it has become an "ungovernable" state.
In the mid 1800s, California was the destination for those seeking untold wealth buried beneath the earth.
We're almost seven months into the Obama Administration's first term and change is certainly occurring at breathtaking speed. In fact, much of the change is taking place too quickly. Stimulus spending, socialized health care and the cap and tade legislation are being railroaded through Congress, with Democrats frantically prognosticating that if we don't act fast enough, our nation is doomed.
By now, the image of a young woman lying in a Tehran street, her life ebbing from her body, is indelibly etched in the collective conscience of the world. Twenty-six-year-old Neda Agha-Soltan has become a symbolic martyr for the millions of Iranians confronting an oppressive government. It's fitting that an innocent young woman's death should be the rallying figure for the movement against a government whose laws treat women as second-class citizens. It is the fairer sex that has historically suffered the most under unjust, repressive regimes and although Agha-Soltan's murder has attracted worldwide publicity, her death is just the latest cruelty inflicted upon the women of Iran.
Within a matter of weeks, the great state of California will be out of money. For months state leaders have warned of the yawning $24 billion budget deficit; even exploiting the deficit they created in a failed attempt to scare voters into increasing their taxes in the May special election. The proposed tax increases and budget gimmickry were soundly rejected by voters, sending a clear message to Sacramento that Californians will no longer finance the bloated, inefficient government's insatiable appetite for more tax dollars. Now the day of reckoning is upon California, and how the Golden State resolves this massive problem will impact the entire nation.
The term "socialism" is being thrown around quite a bit these days, as those who love America's great capitalist economy and republican form of government warn of an imminent demise.
California's initiative process is officially passé, at least according to the media and those who have recently lost critical battles at the ballot box.
In a significant victory for traditional marriage and the democratic process, the California Supreme Court ruled 6-1 today that last year's passage by popular vote of Proposition 8 was a proper amendment to the state's constitution.
This month three universities will have the honor of the sitting President of the United States delivering their Class of 2009 commencement address.
The Republican Party has long been fishing for an issue that will reach out to Hispanic and other minority voters. Now, a three-inch fish may be the key to establishing common ground between that voting bloc and the GOP.
It is the height of hypocrisy to ban interrogation techniques on militant enemies of innocent life while refusing to ensure innocent life isn't carelessly discarded by ruthless abortionists.
It may seem utterly impossible, but a fairly decent ruling regarding the Second Amendment came from a California court this week.
The nationwide Tea Party movement began as a grassroots effort to protest the exorbitant taxes government imposes on citizens.
California cares. At least, that's how its lawmakers justify the myriad nanny state regulations and laws passed every year.

This isn't a call for a boycott.
Well, let's see what TFA says:
Not only REFUSE to see the movie, but spread the word to as many men as possible.
What part of the word "boycott" do you not understand?
I tested HWE on a few test systems before rolling it out across the rest of my systems. Long story short, several of the test systems had intermittent networking problems after the upgrade, which caused the systems to hang until power-cycled.
In my environment, stability is more important than having the latest gee-whiz features, and due to slashed budgets, supporting new hardware is a problem I don't have, so it's not worth the trouble to try to use the Trusty kernel right now.
Yeah, if that's what happened. But that's not what the article says.
It says that on March 21st, Google had already fixed the flaw and rolled out the patches internally. Fine; they get to cover their own asses first. No argument.
Then a week went by.
They haven't been in the press enough recently...
I want to know, but I also don't want to know.
Whatever it was, I can tell that it was chewy. And that I've lost my appetite.
The real powerhouse in speech recognition tech isn't MIT -- it's BBN, at the other end of Cambridge.
Interest, yes. Cash, no.
That's what being very poor means.
Exactly my thought. The profit margins for Google are never going to be higher than they are right now -- the next billion people aren't going to be able to afford the $150 jeans Google is showing me ads for... and the billion after that are going to be even poorer. When you're wondering where your next meal is coming from, you probably aren't going to spend a lot of time on Google+.
The idea that Google is going to make money on subscription services is dubious. It's a business model (hello, AOL!) that doesn't work, even in markets that actually have money to spend on such things.
Couldn't they even say "thank you"?
"The fundamental principle of science, the definition almost, is this: the sole test of the validity of any idea is experiment." -- Richard P. Feynman

Mother nature's alarm clocks. Guess this "old" owl won't be getting any rest.
Photoshop, many many hours, and a sore back. Good times!!
Photoshop, many many hours, and a sore back. Good times!!
Very nice !! I love the texture ! *-*
Did you do the lines in illustrator before putting them on photoshop ?
I do most of the lines (paths) in photoshop. If the shapes I create are complex I usually do that line work in illustrator given the larger amount of options as opposed to what vector you can do in PS. Thanks again for the comments. I really enjoyed your Moon Piece. Such a great design!!!
Thanks ! x)
I always prefer doing vector things on illustrator and then import them on photoshop. Because there's the so great Pathfinder *-*
Yehp. Same thing here. I do love the convenience of having a means of creating vector paths without having to switch programs, but as I mentioned before, there are unfortunate restrictions on manipulating the paths on PS. So the 2 go hand in hand as far as Im concerned.
Yeah, the 2 softwares are very close to each other. You just have to drag and drop something on the other software and it works immediatly. =3
This is beautiful. I made a wallpaper out of it for my HP Touchpad. Looks great!
Clockwork little happiness. ^_-
Thanks!! Hard to believe people still comment on this thing.
Your attention to detail is amazing! I love this theme!
Thanks again. And as much as I dislike birds (in certain regards), it was through this piece that I realized how fun birds can be to illustrate as you may have noticed.
I want this on my wall.
I just got me a Toshiba laptop, and I would love to have this as a skin for it! It's so cute.
Super cute!
This is a masterpiece! The choice and positioning of colors, textures, shadows, lights and objects; the out-of-focus effect, the details. The overall concept. Brilliant!
Well, you just went all out didn't ya? Thanks a million for appreciating all the little things that make it happen. Good eye.
This should have won!
Thank you for thinking that. But, it's cool, there were some really great pieces that made it and the winners were all very worthy of their spots. Hopefully next time around. And hopefully you're judging. Thanks again!!!
Very cute!
Wow! Those many hours and a sore back really paid off! This is possibly the coolest laptop skin I have ever seen. I would totally buy that.
Cute ^^ I like how the eyes look like gears on the inside. The little alarm clocks add a nice touch too Good luck to you and the rest of us ^^
Wow!! Surprised you noticed!! There's a lot of little details in this thing, most of which probably won't be seen. Matter of fact, on most old grandfather clocks, there is a signature script font of the clock manufacturers. So for mine, it actually says "Old Timer Clock Company". I might upload a larger resolution piece so the intricate details can be seen. Thank you tough, and good luck to you as well.
this is probably the coolest thing i have ever seen! and very original!
Cooler than Corey Feldman with a flipped up collar Polo shirt?!
This is probably my favorite of the semis. Basically, looking at this reminds me of some of the experience that comes with being a student: the alarms, the hustle, the lack of sleep. It brings me back to the days when I would be riding transit during the early hours and seeing other students with there laptops rushing to finish assignments before arriving at school. Their eyes would literally look like an owl's, wide open and fixated on the screen.
Hope this makes the top there!
Hope this makes the top there!
Man, you kinda dove right into that didn't you? I like your thought process, you may be onto something here. Nonetheless, thank you for your generous opinion and glad you like this. Hopefully it'll make it!!!
Wow! You were telling a story and didn't even know it. But yeah, when I saw it it got me thinking, which is something I didn't really gather from the other pics.
Curse you typos! I meant "top THREE"!
aw this is cute
That's sweet! I would totally buy one!
Congratulations and good luck.
This is an excellent piece of artwork. I'd love to see a video game in this type of style.
Thanks CyberLogic. As far as video games are concerned, I'm sure it's been done somewhere, just may require some digging.

UFC 155: Cain Velasquez beats Junior Dos Santos for heavyweight belt
Velasquez wins by unanimous decision in Las Vegas, avenges only MMA loss.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
LAS VEGAS—The rematch between Junior Dos Santos and Cain Velasquez was the war the first fight wasn't.
Velasquez emerged victorious late Saturday night, retaking the heavyweight belt with a unanimous decision in the hardest fought victory of his career at UFC 155 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Judges scored the bout 50-45, 50-43 and 50-44 for Velasquez, who avenged a loss to Dos Santos 13 months prior at UFC on FOX.
"It was the hardest fight I've ever been through," Velasquez said afterward. "I was so tired, but I kept thinking, 'Do it, do it, do it.'
"This is my wife's Christmas present. Baby, I got your Christmas present right here."
The smattering of boos that accompanied Dos Santos, whose face was badly swollen, at the weigh-in were surprisingly present during his time at the post-fight mic.
"His game is very effective, and tonight he was better than me," Dos Santos said. "Cain Velasquez, like you said, I'm going to come back, and I'm going to take my belt again."
Midway through the first round, Dos Santos exhaled deeply, and Velasquez began to smother Dos Santos against the fence. First briefly, and then for an extended spell.
Dos Santos didn't see a right hand coming, and in a flash, he was in survival mode as Velasquez began to maul him. The round expired with the former champ at the Brazilian's back, firing away punches.
Dos Santos barely survived.
Velasquez resumed his assault in the second, walking through big counters to dump Dos Santos to the mat. The sequence would replay itself twice before Dos Santos got a brief respite.
But it was brief. It didn't take long before Velasquez was at Dos Santos' back once again. Even when Dos Santos escaped and managed to evade an armbar and gain top position, he could do little as Velasquez reversed and put him against the cage.
The end of the second saw Dos Santos mope again back to his corner.
Dos Santos found his uppercut early in the third, but the strength on his punches had evaporated. Velasquez pressed them to the cage, but this time he wasn't nearly as hard on the champ as before.
Indeed, the relentless pace Velasquez pushed took a toll on his attack. But he continued to press forward through counters and imposed his will against the cage.
Dos Santos found his range early in the fourth and appeared to find a second wind as he shrugged off a takedown attempt and landed shots in close. When Dos Santos finally landed a solid attempt, he righted himself again and survived more punches.
Velasquez, meanwhile, continued to press and smother against the cage.
In the fifth and final round, Dos Santos continued to find counters as Velasquez advanced. He was warned by referee Herb Dean for grabbing the fence. And when Velasquez took him across the cage on a takedown attempt, he held.
A massive contusion marked the champ's left brow.
Velasquez even slammed a head kick into Dos Santos' dome before time ran out.
Velasquez (11-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) now sports the belt and back-to-back wins since the setback to Dos Santos, which was the first of his professional career. Dos Santos (16-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC), meanwhile, suffers his first loss in the Octagon.

"Japan industrial output up 5.9 percent in May, rises for third month"
Japanese exports are still plunging. Internally, wages and prices are both falling. Yet their factories are increasing their output. Who's going to buy the crap they're producing? They're setting themselves up for an inventory-driven downturn on top of a financial meltdown.
Its going to China. I swear.

iHerb Customer Reviews
when i was younger i had so many mouth sores. in my 30's i discovered curasore. i am in my 50's now and have not had one since. although at times this product seems to really hard to find, it is the best and worth every penny. make sure you use it the second your lip starts the tingle that comes with a mouth sore. i looked for weeks before finding it available on iherb.com. thank you so very much for having it. i am a very happy customer and will be back.
This is the best cold sore medicine available. Instant relief, fast healing. This medicine will stop itching and kill chiggers with one application. I have used this for years.

Transcripts | News
The Montana Office of Public Instruction
has partnered with IBM and
ConnectEDU to develop a statewide data
warehouse that will store electronic student transcripts for K-12 students and
connect them with postsecondary data for Montana high school students who go on
to postsecondary education in the state.
The system integrates
IBM's Data
Warehouse and Reporting tools and
ConnectEDU's Connect platform. The OPI will use the system to collect high
school transcript data through a web portal. From there, the data will move to
ConnectEDU's transcript management system, which will handle student transcript
requests from Montana universities and colleges. According to information from
ConnectEDU, the OPI will use the data "to inform policy decisions at the state
level, support college and career planning, as well as facilitate the transition
for K-12 students to college."
Participation in the program is optional for school districts, but the OPI
is looking for all districts to participate because it will let Montana high school
students submit their transcripts to the state's postsecondary schools at no
cost to the requestor or school district. "This program will help make the
college application process easier for students and families," said Madalyn
Quinlan, chief of staff for the OPI, in a prepared statement.
In addition to handling student transcript requests, the system is intended
to help educators and school administrators make informed policy decisions,
track student success and provide personalized instruction, according to
information from ConnectEDU.
"Today's challenge is to make sense of the vast amount of data that surrounds
the education industry; to be successful we must harness its insights through
analytics for better decision making by educators and ultimately better
performance for students," said Michael King, vice president of Global Education
Industry at IBM in a prepared statement.

Comments about 'Utah Utes football: Utes say they'll play for retired coach John Pease'

Pease made the right choice. I wouldn't want to have to witness the coming beatdown from the sidelines, or even the stadium, either. He didn't want to have his last game be an embarrassment like this is going to be. Good choice.

Great accolades given by his players and peers to a great coach and even better man. Thanks for the memories and best wishes in your retirement.

To come out of retirement to help is Alma mater for the love of the game was a
class act. Ute Nation is grateful.
For fan of a 5th place MWC team that are experts of being beat down (@AFA, @FSU, Nevada, @USU, @TCU) you talk a lot of smack.

Duckhunter and other Utah obsessed BYU fans/trolls why do you never go away? Isn't your team playing in what is probably the worst bowl game ever against a similar .500 team enough?

@rock or the marne
Well if the moderator will allow me to respond I will post it again.
I had never even read a ute article until just a few months ago, let alone posted in a thread about one of their articles. But there are some absolutely classless ute "fans" that are in every single BYU article posting absolute junk. You may know them they are chris b, hedgehog, naval vet, wwookie, howard s, and quite a few more. It is constant and relentless classlessness.
So I decided to give some of it back.
So control your classless "fans" and I will gladly go back to never reading, or commenting about, another ute article. In truth I do not care about the university of utah or its athletic teams. But I don't like the classless "fans" you guys have in such abundance so I'm returning the favor.
I'd like to post the absolutely classless, low life, behavior I witnessed, and was subjected to, at res a couple of weeks ago but every time I try the ute fan moderator on these boards edits it out. You know it's true and don't want it shown.
