Newt Is Nuts!
Why is Gingrich pushing Dinesh D'Souza's crazy theory about Obama's "Kenyan anti-colonialism"?
The release of a new book by Dinesh D'Souza prompts a perennial question: Why do people keep publishing books by Dinesh D'Souza?
There's a simple answer. Newt Gingrich provided it to me and National Review's Robert Costa on Saturday night. After the premiere of his documentary America at Risk, Gingrich mused about the brilliance of D'Souza's Forbes magazine cover story about the "roots of Obama's rage," based on his upcoming book with that title. The roots, according to D'Souza, were in mid-1960s, Marxist-inspired, Kenyan anti-colonialism. Gingrich repeated those words—"Kenyan, anti-colonial"—and called the article "brilliant."
"I'm going to actually get it, post it, and send to people regularly," said Gingrich. "It's the most interesting insight. You guys," he said, nodding at Costa, "might want to do a conference on it, unless AEI does it."
Getting Newt Gingrich to endorse your article is, in the year 2010, a nuclear trigger. Within a few hours, Gingrich was condemned by every Democrat with blogging software. The D'Souza thesis became the latest conservative idea denounced by Robert Gibbs, the White House spokesman who likes to defuse grenades by jumping on top of them.
And that's the answer to the "Why publish D'Souza?" question. It should be obvious by now that there is literally no conservative argument too "crazy" to be obsessed over by liberals. Every time a new one surfaces, they try to run it out of the mainstream by drawing extra attention to it. In 2008, Obama campaign's strategy was to refuse to comment on rumors or conspiracy talk—until the campaign launched a Web site in June devoted to debunking all of it. In 2010, the Democratic strategy is to freak out, all the time, about everything. It's not going so well, but that's largely because the economy isn't going so well, either.
Still, it's jarring to see D'Souza making the latest attack. His book, The Roots of Obama's Rage, is a mess. His most memorable previous books were messes, too. Every time he publishes a new mess, it gets the full Pastor Jones treatment in the respectable press. That's had basically no effect on his ability to get published or his ability to get onto the stage at conservative conferences. But it is good for liberals. D'Souza was the first modern conservative author to discover—the hard way—that if you want to be a pundit, there is no downside to making a reprehensible argument. The downside comes for the people who may agree with your politics but not your argument.
The start of the D'Souza phenomenon came in 1995, when he published The End of Racism. Written to ride the wave of books and articles that called for white America to get over its racial guilt, it included lines like the "American slave was treated like property, which is to say, pretty well." It was so sloppy and unconvincing that it killed the genre for a few years; it's a 700-page doorstop by a one-time AEI scholar that no one cites today. The next D'Souza implosion came in 2007, with the publication of another book that killed its genre. The Enemy at Home consisted of an argument that the "left" was responsible for the 9/11 attacks. That was an irresistible hook for a publisher, especially after the public had turned on the Bush administration and the war on terror. But D'Souza made such a hash out of it that the people who had danced around the left-and-9/11 idea realized how deeply stupid it was. Victor Davis Hanson joined the mob and pointed out, as politely as he could, that D'Souza's enemies list was "nonsensical."
So The Roots of Obama's Rage is D'Souza's third pseudo-academic swing for the fences. In the book, and in the Forbes article that Gingrich plans to spread far and wide, he strikes out. D'Souza's point is that Obama's Dreams From My Father and his father's 1965 report on socialism tell us all we need to know about why his love for America is a little limp, but he pads out the book and the article with a lot of meandering and dross about how he came to this conclusion. As in The End of Racism, he performs a pre-emptive ad hominem rebuttal to critics.
"I'm a native of Mumbai, India," D'Souza writes in the new book, "so I grew up in a different part of the world, as Obama did. I'm nonwhite, as he is. He had a white mom and grew up in an inter-racial family." (In 1995, he wrote: "I feel especially qualified to address the subject of multiculturalism because I am a kind of walking embodiment of it. I was born in Bombay, India in 1961.") This is the literary equivalent of putting on eyeglasses so a bully won't hit you.

Show Report: Agenda New York
The latest edition of the Agenda New York trade show wrapped last night after a successful and heavily trafficked two-day run. The show, which focuses on action sports and streetwear, was held yet again at a two-level space at 82 Mercer Street in SoHo.
"We are very happy with the result at Agenda New York. Brands were worried that it would be empty because of the weather, but obviously it's really busy," Agenda founder Aaron Levant told Sportswear International from the show floor yesterday. "In July we will change the location and move to the Javits Center. We need more space for the New York edition as we want to make it more important and create even more of a street lifestyle event. Long Beach features about 700 brands, Las Vegas has about 250 brands. In New York we currently have 160 brands but we can definitely grow."
Among the brands on display was Waimea, a new line of reasonably priced men's streetwear designed by New York-based creative director Ross Fredman. Featuring bold and colorful prints inspired by undersea life and science fiction, the brand employs a lot of chenille and velour. Fredman also donned a 3-D shirt it offers that gave him the look of a pumped up superhero.
Also new was the relaunch of the 1990s streetwear brand Cross Colours by Carl Jones. Inspired by archival looks that had been updated for modern times, the brand features numerous bandana prints and varsity jackets, which have synthetic leather this time instead of genuine leather a la the 1990s. Jones said reaction to the line was strong and that he had signed numerous accounts at the show.
Upstairs, outdoor giant Burton showed its three apparel collections, including the BRTN line in mostly blacks and grays, and numerous accessories. Brand manager Luis Calderin and communications manager Taryn Levy both said that they were happy with this edition of Agenda.
The one complaint from retailers was that the show did not feature enough hard goods. "I like the show here in New York, but I also visited the Long Beach edition which is bigger and caters more my needs since it features more of the skate brands we run. I used to visit ASR and liked it because it also carried hard goods," said retailer Gary Vu of Vu Skateboard Shop in Baltimore, Maryland. John Mossmiller of Skatology in Bel Air, Maryland agreed: "We sell hard goods so I feel it would be good if Agenda had a hard goods corner as well."
Agenda was again part of Modern Assembly, an alliance of independent trade shows that also includes Capsule and Liberty, which were accessible by shuttles but held far away on the Lower East Side and in Chelsea, respectively. "It would be great if all trade shows in New York could be located closer to another but it is really difficult to find locations that are not booked at the same time," said Levant.
The next Agenda will take place in Las Vegas February 17-19.

If you haven't quite found your holiday spirit yet this year, this little video just may do the trick.
Where's the last place you want to spend time this holiday season? I bet the airport ranks right near the top of your list. Waiting to check in, waiting at security, waiting to board, waiting for your bags (which will hopefully arrive and not disappear into the lost luggage abyss). All the while trying to ward off any epic tantrums from your over-tired, overwhelmed, incredibly cranky children. Sounds like a recipe for a Christmas disaster.
Enter WestJet, the Canadian airline that earned its Christmas stripes with last year's massive flash mob at Calgary International Airport. They're at it again, but this time they've really outdone themselves.
Take a look…
Amazing! I kept imagining how my kids would react. The mere fact that Santa knew their names would be enough to make their little jaws drop. But to show up at the other end of the flight and have their Christmas wishes wrapped up and waiting for them? It's a holiday miracle. And yes, maybe an act of social media genius, too.
The cynics among us are quick to dismiss WestJet's real-time gift-giving as just another marketing ploy – the video has quickly gone viral, after all – and they're probably right. But at this time of year I'm happy to cast my skepticism aside and just soak up the warm, fuzzy, goodness of it all.

Sydney Harbor
Just a tad smaller than the contiguous U.S., Australia is truly a massive destination boasting world-class cities, endless beaches, tropical rainforest, a wild interior, and the longest coral reef on earth. For most American visitors, Australia is a once-in-a-lifetime destination, so to get the most out of a vacation Down Under, you'll want to spend at least a couple of weeks in the country and visit several different regions.
One of the best ways to save on air travel to and around Australia is Qantas' Aussie AirPass, a deal that includes round-trip airfare from the U.S. to Sydney, Melbourne, or Brisbane, plus three domestic flights to your choice of 21 destinations across the country. Prices start at $1,099 before taxes and fees. Read more about the Aussie AirPass in the SmarterTravel.com Airfare section. (Photo: Tourism New South Wales)

When Polly, the beloved Pie Queen of Ipswitch, dies, leaving a will that inexplicably bequeaths her secret piecrust recipe to her cat, it's up to her young niece, Alice, and her best friend, Charlie, to locate the missing recipe and help the town recover from the loss of Polly. This charming tale translates well to audio, with its lighthearted mystery and quirky cast of smalltown characters. Narrator Kate Rudd delivers a well-paced, entertaining performance and provides all the book's characters with unique voices. However, Rudd shines brightest when depicting the emotional growth of Alice's mother, who is initially bitter and resentful about the attention Polly received for her pies, but grows to learn that her daughter is a priceless treasure who should be appreciated and loved. Ages 9-12. A Scholastic hardcover. (Oct.)[Page ]. Copyright 2012 PWxyz LLC
Gr 4-6--Alice's aunt, Polly Portman, has been making pies for years, and everyone in Ipswitch, Pensylvania, loves Polly and her pies. When she dies unexpectedly, Alice is left with an empty spot in her heart and a mystery. What has happened to Aunt Polly's secret pie crust recipe, and who has been going to great lengths to find it? Polly teams up with her neighbor, Charlie, to try to find the answers, and along the way learns to deal with her mother's bitterness and her own loss. Set in the 1940s, Sarah Weeks's novel (Scholastic, 2011) is an engaging look into small town life and is populated with interesting and familiar characters. In addition to Alice and her family, there's the ambitious mayor's wife, the skeptical police chief, the domineering principal, and the kindly pastor. Narrator Kate Rudd varies her accent, rhythm, and emphasis to successfully suggest the different characters' ages, gender, and personalities. The pie recipes at the end of each chapter are an added bonus, and Rudd reads them slowly and clearly. This story begs a comparison with Polly Horvath's Everything on a Waffle, (Farrar, Strauss, 2001; Listening Library, 2001). Listeners will enjoy the mystery and humor of this gentle story.--Donna Cardon, Provo City Library[Page 83]. (c) Copyright 2012. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

The first trailer for Spike Jonze's film Where The Wild Things Are debuted online this morning on the Ellen show and has since popped up online. And we're more than happy to bring it to you, thanks to the 13 reader emails that I've received since it went live. Needless to say, it appears as if many of you are excited about this film — and so am I. The adaptation of Maurice Sendak's beloved children's book has always felt right in the hands of Spike Jonze. And even though we've heard rumors about studio meddling and reshoots and so and so forth, I have a feeling that it will still make for one of the more memorable film experiences of 2009. At least for those of us who grew up with the book.
So without further ado, here's the first trailer for Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are:
Due to the ridiculously heavy response that we've received to this trailer (literally thousands of you trying to watch it simultaneously), the video may be loading very slow and in rare instances, not at all. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We have handily beaten our media server with a stick. So far, this strategy has yielded no improvement in performance. In the mean time, we would direct you over to Apple.com, who has the trailer in glorious HD.
Put simply, it looks like a lot of fun. Very upbeat, very whimsical — my kind of movie.
Adapted by Jonze and David Eggers, Where The Wild Things Are will feature the voice work of James Gandolfini, Forest Whitaker, Paul Dano, Catherine O'Hara and Lauren Ambrose. It will also feature Max Records and Catherine Keener as Max and his mom. It hits theaters on October 16, 2009. Check out the trailer in high definition over at Apple.com.
What do you think of the first trailer?

Daniel Pribyl
Ostrava Czech Republic
Eligible for draft:
Signed as free agent, April 2016
189 lbs.
Prospect Talent Score
Probability of Success
2008-09: Pribyl dominated playing for his hometown IHC Pisek U-18 squad – scoring 30 goals with 17 assists while racking up 88 minutes in penalties in his final season.
2009-10: Pribyl moved to the top Czech junior league playing for the Sparta Praha U-18 and U-20 squads. In eight U-20 games, Pribyl scored 1 goal with 1 assists and accumulated 10 PMs. Pribyl was a key member of the U-18 squad, scoring 21 goals with 19 assists in 41 games including playoffs.
2010-11: Pribyl made his Czech Extraliga debut – appearing in three regular season contests as well as four relegation contests for Sparta Praha – after spending the bulk of the season with the Sparta Praha U-20 team. In seven games total, he scored 2 goals with 1 assist and avoided taking any penalties. Pribyl also appeared in one game for HC Berounsti Medvedi in the Czech second league as well as playing eight games for the Czech U-20 team (though he did not participate in the World Championships, Pribyl had 3 goals and 4 assists in eight matches). Pribyl dominated at the domestic junior level, scoring 31 goals with 32 assists in 45 contests with the Sparta Praha U-20 team. Pribyl was ranked 46th amongst European skaters in Central Scouting's final rankings and was drafted by Montreal in the 6th round (168th overall) of the 2011 NHL Draft.
2011-12: Pribyl started his 2011-12 hockey season playing in the senior Czech league for the HC Sparta Praha where the rookie scored two goals in 17 games. The team decided to loan the young forward to its affiliate, HC Berounsti Medvedi of the Czech 2 league for the remainder of the season. The Czech-born player would represent his country at the 2012 World Junior Championship but a leg injury suffered in the pre-tournament games reduced his playing time and he only contributed an assist in five games. He would finish up his season in the Czech 2 league as HC Berounsti Medvedi's third leading scorer with nine goals and four assists in only 21 games. Daniel Pribyl was able to play in the U-20 Czech playoffs for HC Sparta Praha after his season ended in the Czech2 league for his HC Berounsti Medvedi team. The lanky center excelled in the four playoff games against players of his own age finishing fifth in scoring despite his team playing so few games. He scored five goals along with two assist while taking only a two-minute penalties and having 1.75 points per game (2nd amongst the scoring leaders) for the 2012 U20 playoffs.
Talent Analysis
A bit of a late-riser, Pribyl is a work in progress whose height, long reach, and soft hands make him a capable goal scorer. Despite that height, he is not an overly physical player and has not yet demonstrated the ability to consistently battle in small areas. As with many players his height, his skating balance and overall agility are issues but should improve as he matures. Pribyl's positional play is also a bit of an unknown at this point but coaches who have worked with him compliment his work ethic and determination to improve.
The Canadiens have been known to take low-risk, high-reward chances with players from Europe with thier late round picks and that is again the case with Pribyl. A fairly dominent scorer at the lower levels of junior hockey, he has enjoyed the advantage of being bigger than most of his opponents at that level. Whether he can develop the complete game and add the strength and bulk necessary to dominate at the pro level is the big question with Pribyl. If he is successful, Montreal may have discovered a late-round steal - think Sergei Kostitsyn - who will be an effective scorer. Conversely, Pribyl's development is by no means guaranteed and he could spend his entire career in Europe; as have several previous Montreal late round picks.
Pribyl has top-six forward upside.

Resisting The Tablet Craze
Personally, my children get enough screen time. More than I care to admit. Why should I purchase an extra screen to keep them occupied when we are away from home. What about a little activity bag with crayons, paper, small books or something else that would keep the child busy without a $300-$500 breakable toy. Are we being lazy as parents and taking the easy way out? Do our children really need something to keep them busy while out in public? Many of us did not have any of these luxuries and we turned out just fine. Parenting is tough, there is no easy button. I have three boys and have had my share of public meltdowns with kids who are beyond themselves and need to get home on the fastest thing moving and get in the bed. And that's exactly what we do. I gather my children, say goodbye to our friends and we leave.
My family enjoys many modern electronic gadgets and honestly, many of them are nice, very nice. But, if we are being honest once the newness wears off, you find yourself thinking about the next unnecessary must have item. One of the problems in this society is we are so quick to do what everyone else is doing, just because. We feel like we must have the it car, house, bag, vacation, electronic gadget, clothes, etc. It's really sad.
Does anyone else wonder how people can afford all of these things. We are constantly being told how bad the economy is. Statistics show many Americans are out of work. Depending on your political views you will side with one candidate or the other and their spin on the issue. Apparently, there is a disconnect, either we are being lied to about the financial status of typical families or lots of people are living above their means. I think the later is true. The point I want to stress is perhaps we should put more thought into our purchases. Is the item really needed or is it a passing want. You may find resisting the urge to follow the crowd will yield a better return. Perhaps donating the money that's burning a hole in your pocket,to a cause you believe in would be best. If you feel that your tablet is a justified expense more power to you. However, many of us can't justify our excessive purchases beyond, oh it would be great or everyone has this, now its my turn.
It's been said that we are the most connected, yet the most lonely. How about going the extra mile to establish a real connection. When is the last time you wrote a letter and sent it the mail. Or better yet have your kids write letters to distant, relatives and friends. How about making something with your kids sewing, woodwork etc. The activity really doesn't matter, what is important is that you engage your kids rather than giving them a device to play with. Play I spy, make up a game, or just sit and talk.
I'm choosing to swim against the tide here, resisting the tablet craze. No, the extra money I have will stay in the bank or go toward something that adds value to my life.

You speak the truth...I couldn't agree with you more.ReplyDelete
I purchased a Samsung tablet for myself as a Christmas gift (iPad2 was much too expensive) and after the first couple of weeks I found myself choosing to continue giving my laptop more usage. Not to mention wondering why did I purchase anyway.
I know this will sound strange, but when it comes to my tablet vs my laptop the tablet is too small to perform activities. When it comes to my tablet vs my iPhone the tablet is too big. Lol.
My teen daughter actually took the tablet to her house a couple weeks ago and I can't say that I've missed. As you stated, I believe the novelty of it all seduced me into purchasing.
I've often wondered the same thing--what is the allure of a tablet except the need to have the newest gadget. And yes--kids don't need electronics like this. Recently my daughter was grounded from screen time and it was amazing the reading she accomplished without the distraction of the tv.ReplyDelete
@MissMoe I struggle a lot with screen time. It just sucks you in. I am working on a plan to minimize our screen time.ReplyDelete

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- EJ Manuel tossed two touchdown passes and Devonta Freeman ran for two more scores to lead No. 11 Florida State to a 48-7 victory over Duke on Saturday.
Florida State's win coupled with North Carolina State's loss to North Carolina puts the Seminoles (8-1, 5-1) back in control of the Atlantic Coast Conference's Atlantic Division while Duke (6-3, 3-2) dropped out of the undisputed lead in the league's muddled Coastal Division.
Tyler Hunter returned a punt 75 yards for a score and Dustin Hopkins kicked a career-best 56-yard field goal to help the Seminoles offset losing four fumbles.
Duke quarterback Sean Renfree was knocked out of the game in the second quarter with an unspecified head injury.

Special Adviser to the Secretary, Office of Global Youth Issues
This page contains an IFRAME item that cannot be displayed on mobile devices.
So what we want to say to all of you, as the U.S. Government, is that we stand by you as you confront those challenges, that we see those challenges being faced by young people around the world, and that young Americans, both young American lawyers who are trying to increase access to services and build those institutions we're discussing today and young Americans of every walk of life, are facing the same dilemmas, where they're emerging from school and the traditional opportunities are not there, and where the world is full of young people who want to make their voices heard and don't always have access to tools by which to do so in a peaceful manner.
So this is not a set of issues that is unique to your country, and we see it as one of the core goals of our foreign policy now, more than ever, to respond to those issues as they emerge around the world.
So the United States, over the last year, pulled together a task force from every corner of our government, every ministry, and looked at how we could make focusing on youth issues and the role of young people, particularly in countries that are at democratic turning points, as Nepal is, and foster those young people as positive change agents and really respond to their needs. That policy process resulted in a pledge, a pledge that the United States would focus on programs and initiatives and diplomatic conversations that put on the table the role of young people as economic actors, work to increase access to markets for young people, and foster young entrepreneurs, business owners, and workers.
It also resulted in a commitment to focus on young people as political change agents; and young people, both around the world and particularly in these settings where it is so crucial to make your voices heard in emerging instruments like your own constitution, ensuring that those young people have the tools to make their voices heard; and increasing our effort to bring to them mentorship programs, programs that educate them about their rights and their ability to participate in peaceful democratic processes, and programs that foster young people as civic leaders and advocates for their rights.
And it's been my pleasure, in my time in this country, to talk to a great deal of young leaders, both politicians and civil society leaders, who are pursuing those very goals. Right here in Nepal, we are, I think, doing a tremendous job of living out those commitments. We have a wide range of programs out of the United States Embassy and the State Department and our USAID mission here that directly target the needs of young people. Some of you may have heard that we have launched an unprecedented Youth Advisory Council here in Kathmandu and drawing together young people from around the country to discuss some of these rule of law issues, among other issues that they confront. And I'm pleased to be able to announce that with that council, we are actually giving young people the opportunity to shape the programs that will target the problems they confront in their communities. And we will be allocating close to $30,000 (USD) to those programs that council members, young people themselves, will have input into.
We have a variety of programs, as I mentioned, on the USAID side, including our Education for Income Generation Program that provides young people with skills-based training to increase their participation in markets and their access to jobs. And we have a Young Parliamentarians Program that brings together young parliamentarians and political leaders from multiple parties to the same table and links them with experts in various subjects, with Unites States politicians, and engages them on subjects that are critical to their constituents. I had the pleasure of participating in one such session today with a group of young parliamentarians and was inspired to see the level of energy, and really left hopeful for this country's political process.
But all of that said, we realize that we can and should be doing more, and that all of our initiatives have to be guided by the needs that you yourselves feel. And that's why I think I'm happy to say you have strong allies in this United States Embassy who want to keep their heads together with yours and hear on a regular basis what young Nepalese say are challenges and how they feel we can be best standing by them as we confront those challenges.
And there are a number of institutions, as I said, like the Youth Advisory Council, that allow us to do that. But I hope today's discussion can also be one setting in which we start a conversation, and I can hear what exactly you're confronting and how you think that I can carry that message to the world and to our leaders in Washington.
So I really – I want to thank you for your time. I hope that we talk about here can lead to a deeper still and more extensive connection and partnership. And I hope that as we devise our new initiatives, following on some of those that have discussions today, they can as directly as possible address the needs that you feel in your communities.
I think that partnership between young people in every country and a shared commitment to addressing these issues for those like yourselves that uniquely have the skill set and the education and the understanding of what the challenges are will be one of the keys to unlocking global prosperity and stability. And I think that particularly if young lawyers in emerging democracies are able to link together, we stand a better chance of creating lasting, stable democratic institutions.
The challenge that we've seen in the Middle East, as I mentioned, and in North Africa, in this past year, is not a lack of energy or inability to transform. We know that young people can tear down and start anew. And indeed, young people have been instrumental in securing a clean slate and a new start here in Nepal. But as our Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, has often remarked, it is not always the young revolutionaries that end up leading a country to a peaceful future.
So the challenge that we face around the world and in Nepal is: Can youthful revolutionary energy be translated into peaceful participation? And those who have the education and understand what rule of law is are the ones who are equipped, I think, to lead in that effort and to forward the message to the rest of their committees that that is indeed the next step, that regardless of frustrations or feelings of disenfranchisement, people need to commit to building institutions that we have.
So with that, I'll turn over the floor to questions. But I would say that my conversations with students and particularly, I think, young lawyers like yourselves, have left me much more inspired for the future and ever more committed to standing by people like you and supporting you as you fulfill your aspirations.
Thank you. (Applause.)

Contouring seems easier with this brush. I never was disappointed with everyday mineral brushes!
Excellent Brush
Posted by 5516618045756014581 on Dec 10, 2013
This brush is an excellent dupe for a more expensive brush. It does the exact same thing as the more expensive brush except its about 30.00 cheaper. Great brush and great price. excellent website.

Perfect Contouring Brush - Alternative To NARS Ita Brush
Posted by lillysbeautyspot on Oct 10, 2013
There is nothing other to say than that this brush is the most perfect brush for contouring; after seeing so many positive reviews for the NARS Brush I knew I had to get it but was out off by the price. I then came across this brush and knew straight away I had to add it to my collection of brushes and it hasn't disappointed. Perfect for contouring, high listing and powdering and makes contouring the nose super easy! A must-have brush; also have to say that the Everyday Minerals Brushes are super soft, definitely recommend purchasing the entire collection! :)

Great brush
Posted by MentaPiperita on Sep 02, 2013
I like this brush, the fibers are very soft and dense. The handle can be a bit weird to hold at first but you get used to it. It's great for applying powder and also for traveling because of it's compact size. I think it would be perfect for applying blush and contouring too, you'll get a very defined shape effortlessly.

Hillside Beach is my personal favorite. Its long sandy beach is usually quite empty. The lagoon is great for fishing, boating or water skiing.
The Store usually has the best gas prices in the area.Only 15 mins away from Grand Beach Provincial Park. Close to all the beaches in cottage country.It is a nice and quiet area situated on the south east end of Lake Winnipeg, just below the estuary of the Winnipeg River.It also has a high standard with all the Cottages. The Beach is really nice, clean and fabulous. It's becoming more and more popular.
And the good thing: No restricted area, as in Victoria Beach, where every day someone has trouble, because he can't drive in to Victoria Beach.
Luxurious cottage for rent in Hillside Beach. Click here: cottage rental website for more information.
This two bedroom cottage will sleep up to 6 and has a beautiful view accross the lake.It is well kept and comes fully f [...]
During the fur trading expeditions of the Voyageurs the lagoon was part of a portage for traveling between the Winnipeg River and Lake Winnipeg en route from French eastern Canada to the Red River Valley, avoiding the long often choppy route around Elk Island.

Are the handles reversible?A. Yes, the handing on the Kwikset 740LL-S is reversible.
Even though the handle is reversible, will the curve still style the same way for both right and left hand doors? Do we have to take it apart to reconfigure this? It looks like the curve would go up one way and turn down the other if I needed to rotate it to switch doors.A. The Kwikset 740LL-S is reversible which means it will look exactly the same regardless of if it is on the right or the left hand side of the door. You do this by switching the handles. They just pull off, it is all in the installation instructions.

If the outside handle can be reversed by flipping the key mechanism from the outside, what prevents a burglar from changing/opening the door latch from the outside?A. To reverse it you only switch the handle itself, the key cylinder stays in place.
What does keyed alike and keyed different mean?A. Keyed alike means you can have all the locked items in your order keyed to the same key. Or you have a lock keyed to a key code you might already have. The keycode is a code each key has that operates the lock. Keyed different means all the locked items will come with a different key. If you are only getting one lock choosing keyed alike or keyed different will not make a difference unless you are entering your own key code.
Can I get the 740LL-S with it keyed from both sides?A.
The Kwikset 740LL-S is keyed on one side only.

ESPN Reporter and Cancer Survivor Shelley Smith Shares Her Story
If you follow sports, you've probably seen Shelley Smith – a lot. The longtime ESPN reporter (she's been with the network since 1997) and current SportsCenter correspondent has covered just about every sporting event in existence, racking up four Emmys in the process. It's safe to say that Shelley is one of ESPN's most recognizable on-air personalities. Last spring, Shelley became even more recognizable when she appeared on ESPN completely bald after undergoing treatment for breast cancer.
"Hair has been such a big part of my career. I've had big hair, curly hair, short hair, long hair, but never no hair."
Tools for Coping with Stress
Let me be blunt. I am seventy-three-and-a-half years old. In 2005, when my 31-year-old daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer, I came undone. I was flooded with stress and anxiety for the better part of a year. The aftershocks lasted a couple more. And I am a skilled psychologist who is used to helping people through difficult journeys. It was undeniably the very worst experience of my life.
Supporting Your Wife through Cancer
When your wife is diagnosed with cancer, you may find yourself suddenly thrust into a new role as caregiver. As her spouse, you must learn how to support her both emotionally and practically. But how can you best help your wife through cancer while also getting the support you need as a caregiver?
After Cancer, Looking Forward Gratefully
How did this happen to me? I followed all the rules, consumed healthy food, exercised regularly, got routine check-ups, went to church, volunteered, and generally felt vigorous and well. Still, cancer marched in and made itself a home in my lymphatic system.
Take Control of Worry
Lauren, a devoted mom of two young children, committed partner, competent professional, diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer, arrived in the office pleading, "I don't want to feel like this anymore. This worry is taking too much of my time." When faced with a cancer diagnosis, even the most resilient individuals can find themselves experiencing strong emotions resulting from distressing thoughts unlike any they have ever experienced before.
Eat Well. Be Well.
Choosing Healthy Eating during Cancer Treatment and Beyond
Having cancer can change how you see the world. You want to make the most of each day, you are more grateful for family and friends, and you ask yourself, "What can I do to be healthy during and after treatment?"
One Step at a Time
How I Went from Being Unable to Walk After Cancer to Running Marathons
by Matt Jones
On January 29, 2016, I crossed the finish line of my seventh marathon on my seventh continent. Just three days prior, I completed my sixth marathon on my sixth continent, Antarctica – yes, I ran a marathon in Antarctica. But twelve years earlier, at age 25, I was relearning how to walk.

Koster gives another $100K to Missouri Democrats
Wednesday, June 11, 2014
JEFFERSON CITY (AP) — Attorney General Chris Koster is making good on his pledge to pour money into the state Democratic Party.
Koster contributed $100,000 from his campaign fund to the Democratic Party this past weekend. That raises his total contributions to the party to $200,000 over the past seven months.
Party Chairman Roy Temple said Monday that Koster's contributions make him the party's single largest contributor.
Last year, Koster pledged to give $400,000 to the state Democratic Party over four years to try to help elect more Democrats to the Missouri House and Senate.
Republicans hold roughly two-thirds majorities in both legislative chambers.
Koster is planning to run for governor in 2016 and already has amassed more than $2 million in his campaign account.

Awesomely Cute but TOO TIGHT!!
"I know instinctively to order (try) one full size up with Italian Shoemakers. I found they still had a size 11 and snagged it for a birthday present FOR ME!! Cute as the picture. Already planned three outfits in my head as I tried it on! Slipped it on and OMG!!! TOO TIGHT!!!! Love these, but they are going back very soon!!! I would recommend them to a friend...with very narrow feet."

Order 1/2 size up! Runs narrow.
"Super cute shoe - takes me back to the 70s! Runs narrow and a little short. Save yourself the hassle of an exchange and order a full 1/2 size up. I usually take a solid US size 9 in this Italian brand, and these are going back for an exchange for a 9.5. Tight squeeze for my normal width foot- so if your foot runs wide, you won't be happy."

What got you going today?
About myself
I am a once divorced twice married woman in her early 40's whose sexual appetite was stifled for 13 years and I'm trying to re-establish myself as a sexual being again (my ex believed that sex was for procreation purposes only). I am very well educated, well read, attractive and have the potential to be extremely kinky. Honesty is really important to me, and almost nothing bothers me as long as you're up front. Believe me, anything you get from me is going to be truthful and probably a bit blatant.
The person I would like to meet
I am not looking to establish a long term deep seeded relationship. I am looking for really great cybersex at first, which may lead to physical sex. I would like someone who likes to talk, and share things but someone who will encourage my fantasies to take off. Before my marriage I was extremely sexual, kinky, into just about anything, but that was a long time ago and I need someone who can help bring that out in me again.
About my work
I have a very meticulous position which requires that I be focused and pay extreme attention to detail all day long. I want to be able to come home, jump on the computer and relax, with no tension, and no decisions to make.
What do you like to do for fun/hobbies?
I like to swim in the ocean, go fishing - but I believe in catch and devour, not catch and release so you have to eat what you catch. I love almost all movies; Adam Sandler comedies to Lord of the Rings trilogy. I am certified in aromatherapy and reflexology (foot massage) and give a great back massage,
I received my degree years ago as a Professional Chef, but haven't worked in the business in years. But needless to say, I can cook like no one's business.
I like going to the gym but only once or twice a week, I like trying new things.
I am very open to new things, tastes, ideas, and suggestions.
If you are divorced/widower, you can talk about how that happened here.
13 years, one child, sex was for procreation purposes only. Do the math Lol!
What is your fantasy vacation?
Did I mention fantasy's are not my strong point?
What is your academic background?
I love learning new things. I received my degree as a professional chef/restaurant manager. I received my manicuring license, and my reflexology certification. I have taken courses on hypnosis, psychology, philosophy, music, ecomonics, accounting, business, paralegal studies, etc etc.
Where did you last vacation and did you like it?
Cruise to Tortola and the Caribbean. Snorkeling, swimming, relaxing, LOVED IT!
What do you find attractive in people?
Honesty, people who smile a lot and don't take life quite so seriously.
What do others do that irritate you?
Not much irritates me. I'll have to think on that one.
What do you think is your best quality?
Patience. I don't stifle people. Don't allow things to bother me. I'm great in a crisis and I don't take things personally.
What one thing would you change about your personality if you could?
I'm laid back but I'm also pretty cynical. I don't trust people very quickly.
What one question would you want answered in an initial email from another member?
Are you looking for a long term relationship? If so, please do not respond to my profile. I don't want to hurt anyone or give them false impressions.
Describe your physique.
Quite Cute. Very Chesty. I'm a 40D all naturale. I have an actual waist you can see. I have large round hips and tiny feet. Great eyes.
What do you do well sexually?
Some women get upset with me but I am very male oriented when it comes to sex. I spent my early years learning and developing a talent for making the man happy and satisfied and I like that. I'm proud of it. His pleasure becomes my pleasure. It's a great feeling.

While it is way too early for anything to be finalized, the speculation is that Taz is indeed a candidate to become one of the commentators for House of Hardcore now that Tommy Dreamer has managed to pull off an international television deal for his promotion. No word yet on if he has a non compete clause with TNA, but Dreamer works for the company, so he might be able to convince the front office to let the move happen.

The Case For Low-Tech Anxiety Management For Teens
We are—how shall I put this?—a family of tightly-wound humans. We have big feelings and perpetual, looming worries (whether real or imagined), and one of my biggest sources of angst is that my darling teenaged stressed-out apples didn't fall far from the Chicken Little tree. Ahem. It's hard to watch your child struggle under any circumstance, of course. But when you watch them struggle the same sorts of way that you struggle, well, that's a whole extra level of ouch, right there.
[A quick sidebar PSA before we get into the rest of this: Anxiety is not a joke, no matter how many times the kids and I crack that really, we have CDO (like OCD, but with all the letters in alphabetical order, as they should be). If your child is anxious to the point where it's interfering with everyday life, please seek assistance. No one should have to live with unabated fear and worry. Treatment is available, effective, and can vastly improve quality of life.]
So the thing is, we cope with some heightened stress reactions, over here. Both of my teenagers and I are sensitive, delicate flowers. (Well, my son says he's a delicate weed. But you get the point.) All of us have found ways to cope with this particular issue. I'm a big believer in therapy and I'm also a big believer in the judicious use of psychotropic medication. Heck, I'm also a believer in yoga and herbs and guided imagery and anything, really, that helps a person to feel more in control of her life and emotions. Big-picture-wise, we've got this. We have great support teams in place.
The thing about anxiety-prone folks, though, is that we tend to manage, rather than cure. And the thing about teenagers is that their lives are full of stress under the best of circumstances, but they're also under a huge amount of peer pressure to just keep going and go with the flow. It would be weird to step out and meditate, I'm guessing. A stress-reliever isn't going to be terribly effective if utilizing it causes you to come under further peer scrutiny. The best bet for a teen is something they can just slide into their lives right under the radar.
Enter… busy hands.
In a world of endless screens and assorted electronics, the answer is to kick it old-school. Crafting—in its various incarnations—keeps hands busy and soothes a racing brain. It requires some attention (but not a lot), can be done nearly anywhere, and seems to hit that sweet spot where busy, overstimulated minds can just kind of idle for a bit. And because most of these things can be done while doing something else, no one has to know it's about decompressing. Your teens' friends will just think they're kind of crafty.
Idea #1: Origami
It started, for us, with origami. The kids weren't even teens yet when they received some how-to books and my life started to fill up with tiny paper birds and cubes. After the initial obsession, they stopped for a while, and then one day I came upon my youngest making an army of tiny penguins. "What are you doing?" I asked him.
"I like making penguins," he said. "It makes me feel calm." This was an interesting insight to hear him share, and not just because he's autistic and any self-observation on his part tends to warrant a celebratory parade. He said it made him feel calm, which baffled me, initially, because I've tried to do origami and everything I make ends up looking like a used Kleenex (and I can assure you that "calm" is not the word I would use to describe my process). I sat and watched him, and he did appear to be feeling quite Zen, making fold after fold, and adding each new penguin to his growing waddle. It was methodical. It was predictable. There was an end product. I began to understand why it appealed to him.
It's possible that I made a grand show of gushing over his creations, at various points, until his sister picked her origami book back up and got back into it, herself. She favors multicolored pinwheels, and can (and does) make them out of just about any type of paper she can find; I'm pretty sure she made me one out of a fast food sandwich wrapper, once. She's a taut wire of nervous energy, my girl, and with a few pieces of paper to fold, I can watch her relax into the creases, channeling that laser-beam focus into something mundane and pliable.
Idea #2: Knitting
Next, my son moved on to knitting. Yes. Hey, knitting is experiencing quite the resurgence amongst young adults, both female and male. (Thanks, hipsters!) For him it's about the act rather than the product, so he sticks with spool knitting rather than actual needles. All this yields is a woven "snake," which could then be made into various things, I suppose, but he doesn't care. It's about the feel of the yarn in his fingers, the wrapping of stitches, the mindlessness of it. His peers no longer see him sitting there working his yarn as any stranger than a kid tapping a pencil. It's just what he does.
Ideas #3 & #4: Beading & Sewing
My daughter tried to learn to knit, but it never really clicked for her. Instead, she turned to beading, next. Keychains! Jewelry! And from there she moved on to sewing. She'll browse Etsy—on the hunt for cute little felted creatures or pouches to hold important things—then she'll disappear into her room. Later, she'll reappear with a decent facsimile she created from memory, hand-sewn in her careful stitching. She keeps some of her creations and gives others away. It's the process of making that's important for her. This kid got through several months at a new school, far from home, by taking her sewing to the library and coaxing thread along for a while after lunch every day. She has a sewing machine now and quilting is on the horizon. (Maybe she can make a quilt that can serve as a backdrop for the origami penguin army.)
Paper, fabric, thread, ink—it doen't matter what it is. Crafting keeps their hands busy and their brains just-occupied-enough. Think of it as a break from technology and stress. It's self-regulation disguised as a hobby. Perhaps best of all, it means they have to put down their phones and stop texting. (Can I get an "Amen!"?)

Mir, I am not yet a parent of a teen, my son just turned 9. But I am avidly reading your articles here and your blog all the time. My son has both anxiety and PDD-NOS. We aren't treating right now with medication because he seems to be managing the anxiety with all of his different therapies and techniques that we have given him.
These articles about teenagers are great, as I frequently worry about the teenage years. and of course it is spelled CDO as I too suffer from a bit of that.

I'm not a teenager, but about a year ago, I started taking a wheel-throwing pottery class. It is definitely a huge stress-reliever. It's physical, it's challenging – in a good way, and it gives me a feeling of satisfaction and pride. There are quite a few teenagers that come into the studio to do wheel throwing or handbuilding classes. I would recommend it in a heartbeat!
My Kids Mom Apr 17 at 12:24 pm Reply
My kids found origami on their own for the same purpose. "I'm not allowed to play when I finish my work but if I use school paper I can make origami and no one knows" The other kid is making origami to sell in class for "market day" (at the end of their economics unit) because he "has a desk full of it anyway." It keeps their hands busy and out of trouble at school as well.

My son has made paper guns … with moving parts … after watching a "how to" video on YouTube … that's the same, right?!

My lovely 14 year old daughter finds keeping her hands busy to be very relaxing (I have a ton of pot holders she made on one of those plastic looms!) but even more so if she listens to a book on CD or on her Kindle as she does it. I also sometimes give her a basket of towels to fold, which is a win-win.
Quilting is my anxiety outlet – hand, machine…anything to do with fondling fabric. Chickie is welcome to contact me any time with questions.
LOVE that Monkey is knitting, even just for the process rather than results. And spool knitting is so very portable. I can see Chickie making more fast-food wrapper pinwheels, and using them to support a crusade for less waste, more "recylcing".

Dude! Gardening! Pulling weeds is very therapeutic.

These tools all work for me too as an adult! We are not all inherently crafty in my house either, but we like making and doing…the process is more important than the end result much of the time.
I also find a lot of zen time with myself and my daughter painting our fingers and toes. The attention to detail and the forced time to sit and let it all dry is proving a calm time, and lets me chat with my 7-year old while she has to sit still just a little bit.
You're right; these definitely work for adults too. My choice is sewing. And nope, I cannot sew worth a lick, but it is a quiet, soothing activity from which no one can expect new pants. My oldest does the thin strips of plastic, molding them into different shapes. She calls it gimp but I really want there to be (REALLY) a different word for it.
Brenda Apr 17 at 2:43 pm Reply
I have long been a crafter. I typically do it while I watch TV, because then I feel productive, but the mostly mindless busywork really is very soothing. When I was in the hospital outpatient mental health program, I spend lots of time in group therapy knitting. I got feedback from other people that it was as soothing for them to watch me as it was for me to actually knit. For awhile I solved a rubix cube over and over. I like to have something to keep my hands occupied, like a slinky or a paperclip that I bend and unbend, but knitting and crocheting are probably the most rewarding because I actually have something to show once I'm done.
OMG, I hadn't thought about spool knitting in ages. I can't remember when or how my friends and I used to do it – around the same time as friendship bracelets, I guess, but I wish I still had my little wooden spool! Thx for the memory jolt!
My son likes origami, too. Never thought of it as calming for him, but maybe it is.
I only took up crochet and knitting (and cross-stitch, and sewing, and spinning…) as an adult, but I really wish someone had suggested it when I was younger! I've always had trouble with anxiety and, well, my brain spinning faster than average, I suppose, and all I had to show for it was bad poetry and colossal doodles! My toddler is already a huge fan of coloring, and loves to get into my yarn, so I'm hoping fostering her craftiness can help her stay grounded (whether or not she ends up with my wiring!).
Kathryn Apr 17 at 5:14 pm Reply
Anyone have any suggestions that would work for a 6 year old? His anxiety manifests generally as anger and acting out, and I'd really like to have something else to channel him into. We're just starting to make progress on him recognizing what he's feeling and verbalizing it, but I think he'd benefit from having something to do with his hands – other than hit people, of course.
I used to doodle in class – not because I wasn't paying attention, but because it helped me to calm down enough to focus on just one thing. I tend to use this with my kids, too. The oldest is anxious and the second one is very active. Right now they spend a lot of time drawing and lego building to process things. Crafts will be great when they are older, I think.
Sara Apr 17 at 9:12 pm Reply
A few years ago I rediscovered coloring. I'll buy one of those higher end coloring books for kids with the thick pages and color while listening to music. It is so calming for me and it's still pretty fun, too.
Carrie Apr 18 at 1:30 pm Reply
After too many hours spent coloring Barbie (yick!) and other 6 year old girl things, I found a few adult coloring books on Amazon – with themes like mandalas, art-nouveau patterns, decorative tiles and paisley, they have very detailed designs and the end results are beautiful. As it turns out, my daughter prefers to color them over her coloring books, too!
In college I had to have a year out when suffering with CFS and when too tired to read or watch TV I folded hundreds of paper cranes out of old issues of national geographic. The repetition, productivity and creativity gave me real contentment.
Sadly I wasn't a natural knitter, quilter or bonsai tree cultivator but found origami quietly therapeutic – love the colouring idea!
Anne Apr 18 at 6:45 am Reply
Your son could try this.
It is similar to spool knitting but might be more easily adapted for functional use. Bracelets, dog collar, leash, necklace etc.
Sarah Apr 18 at 5:36 pm Reply
Yes, yes, yes!
I was a tiny bit disappointed that you didn't list anything that I'm not doing already – but crafts are great. If chickadee is interested in quilting, she should also try doodling (with a ruler) on graph paper. I love quilting and a pad of paper with a few colours is much more portable for meetings and such.
My math brain loves all the calculating and I've done "quilt design" as a class project with grade one through eight. Origami is a great way to figit quietly too.
ElleB Apr 22 at 3:38 pm Reply
It's not exactly crafting, but I have several students (I teach high school) who doodle, specifically in highly repetitive patterns…like polynesian tattoos. I also quite like the Wreck this Journal series as a starting point for distracting activities.

North Carolina Congressman Walter Jones is asking the National Park Service to change signs posted at Cape Hatteras that he says falsely tell people they can't leave footprints on the beach.
In a letter sent Friday to park service officials, Jones says the new signs make it appear that people visiting the Cape Hatteras National Seashore Recreational Area are only allowed to walk in shallow water to wash away their footprints.
Jones says new regulations designed to protect nesting sea turtles actually limit people to walking below the high tide line, and doesn't require them to actually stand in the ocean.
The North Carolina Republican says the signs will confuse visitors and hurt local businesses.
A call to the park service was not immediately returned Friday.

The La Grande Tigers came within a couple of tiebreakers of sweeping the Baker Bulldogs in boys and girls prep tennis action Tuesday afternoon.
Baker won both the boys and girls contest 3-2, and it needed to win tiebreakers in two matches to do it.
Considering weve had just one practice after spring break, I kind of expected the kids to come out really flat, but all the kids really competed well, La Grande coach Mike Schireman said.
The Baker girls got an important win from Skye Forsgren and Melissa MacManimian in No. 2 doubles action, beating La Grandes Shalece Hibbert and Karli Nebeker 7-6 (7-1), 6-7 (5-7), 6-3. And the Bulldog boys needed Luke Rembolds 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 (10-8) victory over John Woodfield in No. 2 singles play.
John Woodfield played a good match even though he lost, Schireman said.
The Tiger girls won two of three singles matches, while the boys won both their doubles matches.
The girls No. 1 singles player, Haley Hines, swept Gloria Ho in two sets, 6-2, 7-6 (7-4). Beth Youngblood then beat Kari Staten 6-4, 4-6, 6-1.
Haley had good movement (and was) real offensive. That was a good win for her, Schireman said. Beth Youngblood played well.
The boys doubles team of Tyler Lester and Greg Schuft defeated Mike VanArtsdalen and Joel Cummings 3-6, 6-1, 6-3. And Seth Pennington and Matt Nightingale beat Richard Black and Jace Wheeler 6-3, 6-1.
I do think that the next time around we can pick up just one more win on either side, Schireman said. Baker will be one of the better teams in the district.
La Grande next plays Thursday at Umatilla.
