If you're an animal lover, Stevie Ray's Blues Bar is the place to be on Sunday, June 6.
One horrifying day last July, people at Joe's Crab Shack were shocked to see a man throw a dog over the Clark Memorial Bridge. The dog survived the 80 foot drop and was immediately adopted by Kelsey Westbrook, who renamed her Sunny.
Sunny not only survived her plunge, but inspired the creation of the Saving Sunny Foundation. The foundation's goal is to fund animal cruelty enforcement officer training and equipment with the LMPD to help protect other animals like Sunny. They're doing the good work of spreading word about the link between domestic violence and animal abuse, letting people know how to report that scary neighbor who beats their dog, and to provide a "Sanctuary from Violence" for confidscated animals and animals whose owners are the victims of domestic abuse. The last part is especially important, as no one who has been abused wants to leave their pets behind while they're in a shelter or other transitional housing.
Stevie Ray's "Saving Sunny Benefit" is a great place to meet other animal lovers (*ahem* consider this a hint to singles). Bluegrass Brewing Company is providing free vegeterian appetizers. There'll also be a raffle, cocktails, and five live bands. The doors open at 4, the music starts at 5. Play your cards right and maybe next weekend you'll be taking your dogs out for a walk with a new friend.

8-8-05 - Teachers showed up to work Monday morning and found obscenities spray painted inside the elementary school.
Police say the vandals broke in over the weekend through a classroom window.
This is the third time in two weeks that the elementary school has been vandalized. The first two were only on the outside of the building.
It means a lot of work for the district this week getting the vandalism cleaned up. Marietta's classes start on Wednesday.

drinking green tea while pregnant

I love green tea also so when I first got pregnant I researched it, the only thing I could ever really find on it is that they don't know the effects of green tea on the baby because there aren't enough studies on it. They have found that the combination of green tea and pregnancy is not viewed as beneficial because the effectiveness of folic acid may be affected. A major compound in green tea called EGCG can cause the inactivation of an enzyme in a cell called dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), which is important for folic acid utilization. I have also read that it is fine in moderation it just depends on if you feel comfortable. I haven't had any since I got pregnant because I didn't want to worry about any risks but I would love some green tea right now! Hahaposted 06/21/2010 by rogersmckenzie
I have a baby with a neural tube defect from drinking large amounts of green tea during the 1st month of pregnancy (Prior to knowing i was pregnant). Yes, I took a prenatal vitamin before I was pregnant, so I was taking folic acid.posted 03/30/2013 by Ginamarielentini
Green tea only has about 25 mg of caffeine vs. 100 to 150 mg in coffee so it is good for a substitute for coffee. I hear as long as you don't drink it as the same time as your vitamins you are fine to have it.posted 10/24/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I've been drinking green tea since forever. W my first pregnancy, my baby came out at almost 8oz. My OBGYN said its ok. Though everyone knows green tea has caffeine, it's not as strong as coffee. You can always buy decaf green tea. You can always drink it moderately like coffee or coke, limit one per week.posted 04/29/2013 by Lov3tc
It is always best to ask what is safe or not safe from your own dr. I've been sick with a cold this past week and I asked my perinatologist (high risk dr) if it's safe to drink tea. He told me green tea is OK. :)posted 03/30/2013 by ebkauai12

Today I had my first OB visit. I'm 6 weeks pregnant and I asked her about the tea. She said it's okay. So, here I am, responding to this thread while sipping on a delicious green tea. Salute!posted 03/02/2016 by AliciaBo11
Considering they suggested pregnant women stay under 200mg of caffeine a day, the green tea I drink has 30mg of caffeine, I drink 3 cups a day, so 90mg of caffeine is fine. This my 3rd pregnancy and all babies have been borne on their predicted due date, weighing between 7-8 pounds. I've had one doctor tell me it's not okay to drink, one said it was okay to drink and the third literally said "Google it" so yeah, I drink it every day.posted 04/06/2015 by a BabyCenter Member

That is the nature of human warfare, two sides trying to push the other past its limit of endurance, and no matter how much we like to talk about total war, that limit is always there… unless you're the living dead. (8.1.13)
In conclusion, something that sums up warfare in World War Z and quite a few other novels: war is about the limits of what people can do and what they can endure, whether it's the good, the bad, or the zombie.

Compact of Free Association:
Proposed U.S. Assistance to Palau for Fiscal Years 2011- 2024
GAO-12-249T: Published: Nov 30, 2011. Publicly Released: Nov 30, 2011.

The Compact of Free Association between the United States and the Republic of Palau, which entered into force in 1994, provided for several types of assistance aimed at promoting Palau's self-sufficiency and economic advancement. Included were 15 years of direct assistance to the Palau government; contributions to a trust fund meant to provide Palau $15 million each year in fiscal years 2010 through 2044; construction of a road system, known as the Compact Road; and federal services such as postal, weather, and aviation. U.S. agencies also provided discretionary federal programs related to health, education, and infrastructure. In 2008, GAO projected that total assistance in fiscal years 1994 though 2009 would exceed $852 million. In September 2010, the United States and Palau signed an agreement (the Agreement) that would, among other things, provide for additional assistance to Palau beginning in fiscal year 2011 and modify its trust fund. A bill, now pending, was introduced in the Senate on February 14, 2011, to approve the Agreement and appropriate funds to implement it. In this testimony, GAO updates a June 2011 testimony on (1) the Agreement's provisions for economic assistance to Palau, (2) its impact on the trust fund's likelihood of sustaining scheduled payments through fiscal year 2044, and (3) the projected role of U.S. assistance in Palau government revenues. GAO reviewed the Agreement; examined Palau's recent single audit reports and budget projections; and assessed trust fund balances and disbursement plans.
The Agreement would provide steadily decreasing assistance, totaling approximately $215 million, for fiscal years 2011 through 2024. The proposed assistance includes the following: (1) direct economic assistance ($107.5 million) for Palau government operations; (2) infrastructure project grants ($40 million) to build mutually agreed projects; (3) infrastructure maintenance fund ($28 million) for maintaining the Compact Road, Palau's primary airport, and certain other major U.S.-funded projects; (4) fiscal consolidation fund ($10 million) to assist Palau in debt reduction; (5) trust fund contributions ($30.25 million) in addition to the $70 million contributed under the compact. The legislation implementing the Agreement was not approved by Congress in fiscal year 2011. Under the Agreement, the United States would contribute to the trust fund in fiscal years 2013 through 2023, and Palau would reduce its withdrawals by $89 million in fiscal years 2010 through 2023. GAO projects that the fund would have an 86 percent likelihood of sustaining payments through fiscal year 2044 with these changes, versus 24 percent without these changes. Estimates prepared for the Palau government project declining reliance on U.S. assistance under the Agreement--from 28 percent of government revenue in fiscal year 2011 to 2 percent in fiscal year 2024--and growing reliance on trust fund withdrawals and domestic revenues. The estimates show trust fund withdrawals rising from 5 percent to 24 percent and domestic revenues rising from 40 to 59 percent, of total government revenue. According to the estimates, U.S. assistance in fiscal years 2011 through 2024 would total $427 million, with discretionary federal programs accounting for about half of that amount.

My son is 9 and has aspergers. He does well in school, but he really struggles with writing. From what I understand, having trouble with writing is something many aspies struggle with. My son has always had an issue getting an idea from his brain to the paper. He is in 4th grade this year and it is just getting worse. It is to the point now, when it comes to writing, he refuses to do it and basically just shuts down. Or, he will ignore his teacher's instruction and read a library book instead of doing his writing. Does any one have any idea/tips to help him with his writing?
If you have an older child on the spectrum, please read.
Both of my kids just picked it up. My daughter types at 80 wpm now. And PP is correct, my son's grades have always been great. His IEP addresses organization and socialization.
*Holly* Mom to D (19), A (17), and R and K (5)
"Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges!" OMG! I have a badge!!!
It is not up to them to say if his education is being negatively impacted because of their lack of accommodations. Get on them. If he is shutting down for writing there is an issue that needs to be addressed. YOU get to call an IEP meeting. Request one in writing and be sure to keep a paper trail. IDEA is federal, not by school, and it covers kids with all kinds of learning disabilities.

Marie de France
DS Brewer, 2012 - 228 pages
Marie de France is the author of some of the most influential and important works to survive from the middle ages; arguably best-known for her Lais, she also translated Aesop's Fables (the Ysopë), and wrote the Espurgatoire seint Patriz (St Patrick's Purgatory), based on a Latin text. The aim of this Companion is both to provide information on what can be gleaned of her life, and on her poetry, and to rethink standard questions of interpretation, through topics with special relevance to medieval literature and culture. The variety of perspectives used highlights both the unity of Marie's oeuvre and the distinctiveness of the individual texts. After situating her writings in their Anglo-Norman political, linguistic, and literary context, this volume considers her treatment of questions of literary composition in relation to the circulation, transmission, and interpretation of her works. Her social and historical engagements are illuminated by the prominence of feudal vocabulary, while her representation of movement across different geographical and imaginary spaces opens a window on plot construction. Repetition and variation are considered as a narrative technique within Marie's work, and as a cultural practice linking her texts to a network of twelfth-century textual traditions. The Conclusion, on the posterity of her oeuvre, combines a consideration of manuscript context with the ways in which later authors rewrote Marie's works. Sharon Kinoshita is Professor of Literature, University of California, Santa Cruz; Peggy McCracken is Professor of French, Women's Studies, and Comparative Literature, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

Ask travel writers for tourist "must sees" in Washington State, and Leavenworth--the town in Central Washington that successfully pulled off a Bavarian-style facelift back in the 60s--is bound to appear on most itineraries. Ask your average college co-ed for their travel bucket list and I'm pretty sure clinking beer steins in Munich during Oktoberfest will make the cut.

The duo behind Bastille, Poquito's and the forthcoming Stoneburner, Deming Maclise and James Weimann were smart to open oversized beer and brats haus Von Trapp's because of Bavaria's appeal to the young, old and in-between. They also made the place all-ages until late at night, giving parents a new dinner option in a part of Capitol Hill that's void of family-friendly (or at least family-tolerant) eateries.That said, here's a mistake you won't make twice: bringing kids to Von Trapp's on a weekend. On a recent Saturday before 6 p.m. the wait for a party of 10 (including two kids and a pair of babies) was not one, not two, but three hours. That's at least partly because there are a measly 16 tables in the dining room. The recently-opened buzz will wear off eventually, but if you go for dinner and a beer with kids the seating area is much more limited (as the many "No Guns, No Minors" signs peppered in partitioned areas throughout the interior attest) and a wait is inevitable. The place is also really loud--a factor that is sure to annoy diners on a date or in a low-key mood--but if you have children that can be a good thing.
There's a lot for kids to look at while they eat, including sparkly chandeliers from Vienna, stuffed elk heads and very cool indoor bocce courts. The menu is full of fare like currywurst (sliced brats in curry ketchup) and kasespatzle (cheesy egg noodle casserole) that go down easy. There's also a separate kid's menu featuring smaller portions of potato pancakes and chicken shnitzel.
Avoid salads and stick to the bar food. The German Chop, with rock-hard croutons, romaine, chunks of Beecher's Cheddar and an overcooked hard boiled egg, looked liked it was lazily chopped with a dull cleaver and plopped on a plate. The vinegar-heavy dressing totally overpowered the bread-centric bowl. You'll be happier eating the cheddarwurst sausage sliders with German mustard and an order of crispy fries.
By the time Von Trapp's opens its doors at 4 p.m. on the weekend there will probably be a line outside, and by 4:30 almost every seat will filled. You can reserve tables Monday through Thursday and sign up for a bocce court and table ahead of time on the restaurant's website. Note that unless you have a reservation and the place has reached capacity (which can happen quickly) kids may not be admitted for the rest of the evening even if space opens up. In that case, it's best to head down the street to Ba Bar for a much shorter wait and a big vermicelli bowl.
Here's some good news: Von Trapp's will open at 11:30 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays starting March 23.

Ted Simons: In 2006, Arizona voters approved a tax on tobacco to fund early childhood development and education. At the same time they created a new state agency called First Things First, to administer the money. So far the tax has generated about $500 million. First Things First is responsible for using that money to fund programs to keep kids healthy and get them ready to enter kindergarten. But state lawmakers have referred a measure to the November ballot that asks voters to repeal the program and send money generated by the tobacco tax to the state's general fund. Here to talk about that is Rhian Evans Allvin, executive director of First Things First. Good to have you here. Thank you for joining us. We talk about preparing kids for kindergarten, which is what First Things First does, what does that mean?
Rhian Evans Allvin: It means that they have every opportunity to have a solid foundation. It means that they are getting the kind of developmental screenings that they need. It means they are getting the pediatric services they need. It means that they are having bonding and they are building their vocabulary and their literacy from birth. We know now from neuroscience that learning begins at birth. So it's a combination of all of those things that give kids the solid foundation they need to be successful in school.
Ted Simons: With that in mind, the tax was approved and the money is coming in to the tune of somewhere upwards of $500 million or so. There are concerns that your agency, your organization is sitting on too much of that money. How do you respond?
Rhian Evans Allvin: The tobacco revenue comes in approximately $150 million per year. The legislation with the statutory language was written, it required a year delay before we started spending the funds. We know that the tobacco revenue is a volatile revenue stream. So in good fiscal planning, we wanted to make sure that we were budgeting based on solid numbers, not on what we thought might happen. So the revenues collected and then we budget and then the money gets spent. So there's always going to be a bit of a fund balance, number one. Number two, we know tobacco declines over time, tobacco revenue. And so we wanted to account for years into the future when we knew the revenue stream would be declining. So the fund balance was planned and purposeful. It wasn't by accident.
Ted Simons: So, but does it justify, as "The Republic" reported, 2/3 of the funds generated are still not used? That's a lot of a balance there.
Rhian Evans Allvin: Revenue was just passed in 2006. So we are three years into it. We have allocated at this point $284 million to our local regions and to the state.
Ted Simons: OK. Much of the reason that this is, this was referred by lawmakers is there was concern last fall, when health services needed help with the cost of child care licenses and these sorts of things, requested $2 million from your organization. And they were turned down. Didn't please a whole lot of people. What happened there?
Rhian Evans Allvin: Again, the statutory language in First Things First initiative said you cannot supplant these funds. So we are, by law, bound to not fund things that the general fund is funding or supposed to fund. And so, it would have been illegal for us to have just filled in the gap for the State. Having said that, there are a lot of partnerships that we have with State entities. We work very closely with DES on subsidy. We are doing a lot of public health initiatives with the Department of Health Services. We have been in collaboration with those agencies since the beginning. We just can't supplant funding when the legislature decides to cut funds for an existing program.
Ted Simons: It makes the critics say that's what exactly is First Things First for when to help to with child care licensing costs which would affect a whole lot of kids, the organization can't be found.
Rhian Evans Allvin: Right. But I certainly understand that. But at the same time, when you think about what First Things First is funding, related to developmental screenings, related to outreach to kids care, related to all of the things that we know go into making sure that kids are healthy and prepared for school, I will give you an example. There are a lot of communities in this state, rural communities that prior to First Things First did not have a pediatrician. Did not have occupational therapists. We are stipending a lot of health professionals to go into rural communities. Woman in Yuma who tells her story about having to take her son to Scottsdale for developmental screening who was on the cusp of being diagnosed with autism. Had to drive him to Scottsdale. Now with First Things First she is getting the developmental screening her son needs in Yuma.
Ted Simons: Is that information getting out? More than one lawmaker has said on the record we don't know what's happening with this money. We don't know what they are doing. There are charges that there have been conflicts of interest and favoritism involved. Because very small percentage of nonprofits seem to be getting a large percentage of what little money has been doled out so far. What's going on here? Is there a disconnect? What's happening?
Rhian Evans Allvin: First of all, I think in terms of the word getting out I think we need to think about Arizonans and the word getting out different than the word getting out with lawmakers. I think many, there are 300 volunteers across the state involved in making the decisions on how we spend First Things First money. So I would charge anyone to go into a local community and ask them if they didn't know about First Things First. I think it's very popular. I think lawmakers have not necessarily known all of the work that we are doing and we are working to educate them.
Ted Simons: The idea, though, of conflict of interest and favoritism, how do you respond to that? It sounds like some folks involved with the organization are getting some of these grants.
Rhian Evans Allvin: We are required by law to comply with all of the state's conflict of interest laws. And, in fact, we go beyond that. We do trainings for our council members. They recuse themselves from conversations that they have related to grants that they have. They are not allowed to have conversations related to any contract that are let. So we feel very confident that we are not only biding by the law but taking the extra step to make sure there are not conflict of interest.
Ted Simons: There was also some concern regarding emergency grants without the competitive process. I think 30 some odd million, something along those lines. These were emergency grants so we can understand why maybe the process was changed a little bit but the law, legislators will say we have an emergency here at the State and we need some of the money that this organization is sitting on. Do those things parallel? Can you understand why the State is coming from? It sounds like they see a whole lot of money, they see a whole the lot of kids here starting with kids care and are going from there.
Rhian Evans Allvin: Let me answer your first question. Related to the emergency funding, tens of thousands of kids would be dropped off of not being able to go to child care had we not stepped in and done emergency funding. We followed all of the procurement process. And we went through and worked with the Department of Administration and got permission to do what we did and we feel very confident that we did the right thing. I believe related to lawmakers, we have offered on for the last year, we have been offering to help with the State's budget crisis. We offered a loan. It is now upwards of $300 million that we have offered. No interest to be paid back through 2017. We are requiring the bulk of those payments to be in the latter years because we recognize that the State is in a huge crisis. I feel like we have really worked to be part of the solution.
Ted Simons: With that in mind very quickly, is a solution a compromise, is something being worked out here? I know the thing has already been referred. Are changes ahead?
Rhian Evans Allvin: We hope so. We are working very hard in partnership with lawmakers to rescind the action they took which there is precedent to do that, to have in place of sweeping eliminating first things first and permanently sweeping the tobacco revenue into the general fund to be spent at the discretion of lawmakers, we are proposing that lawmakers accept our loan, no interest, that they -- we would jointly work to make sure that it passed at the ballot in November.
Ted Simons: All right. We have to stop it right there. Thank for joins us.
Rhian Evans Allvin: Thank you. I appreciate it.

klnielsen74 3 years, 5 months ago on JCPS in running for $20 million grant
JCPS in running for $20 million grant
Remember that documentary, Waiting for Superman? You know, the one that pitted parent against school, student against teacher, union against state, and showed the whole world that the United States was the dumb country, according to the illustrious Michelle Rhee? Do you remember the one and only hope for those poor, urban kids–the savior? It was a lottery drawing. After applying for help, and desperately praying, hoping, and losing sleep, these families were duped into the idea that the only way their students could be successful was if their Bingo ball rolled out of the cage. It's a ridiculous notion that has been chewed up several times, so I don't need to go into it. However, it's easy to see that exact same game now being played by the Great Hand of Duncan. This Spring, 372 applicants–often at great expense–applied for the next phase of Race to the Top grants, which is comprised of a $400 million jackpot. This week, the Department of Education released its list of 61 finalists. On December 31, the Department will select between 15 – 25 winners. Do you see the connection? When a student from Waiting for Superman wasn't selected, it was made a point to show the crushing disappointment on camera (whether or not those scenes were staged is up for debate). I've seen the meetings of two of North Carolina's school districts as they spoke about how badly needed new funds were, and how losing the competition would devastate the budget. Now, we're not just talking about one child crying in his pillow for missing the opportunity to join a charter school, we're looking at hundreds and thousands of students whose schools will getting poorer and poorer. On the other hand, there are intelligent educators, superintendents, and union leaders who recognized that the strings attached to the grant were not worth the extra efforts and costs. In fact, several districts estimated that the cost of implementing those strings would outspend the money being awarded. So, it sounds like it was a lose-lose situation to begin with. What really gets me riled up is the premise. The competition is not only poorly designed and, let's face it, pretty childish, it's also antithetical to the mindset that Americans must adopt if we are to maintain any position of respect, power, or wealth in the rapidly-changing world economy. Why do we work so hard to convince our students to work together, cooperate, collaborate, and share their knowledge, when our own president and secretary of education are calling on districts to fight among themselves for funding? DOE Secretary Arne Duncan says that the winners are those who will develop the revolutionary tools to close achievement gaps, and other districts can then adopt those programs. Am I the only one who sees how limiting and close-minded this is? Is anyone else just plain insulted?

Drink said to cause truck crashJanuary 28,2014Drink said to
cause truck crash
A shaken can of Red Bull, the popular energy drink, was blamed as the cause of a crash at the intersection of Route 4 and Town Line Road in Rutland Town on Sunday.
Vermont State Police say they were called to the intersection at 2:14 p.m. where a 2014 Chevrolet Tahoe had crashed into a mailbox owned by the Rocking Horse Store.
The driver of the truck, Peter Capkovic, 31, of Slovenska, Slovenia, told police he lost control of the vehicle when his friend opened a can of Red Bull and the beverage exploded all over the cab.
In the momentary confusion, the truck, a rental from Enterprise, veered into the oncoming lane before striking the mailbox.
No injuries were reported in the crash and only minor damage to the truck was reported, police said.MORE IN This Just InBARRE The Raiders built a 13-1 halftime lead before shifting into cruise control Thursday...

Little bit of background... And i may be incorrect. Someone before me, installed the MBR on one hard drive & the Windows 2008 OS on another ard drive. So when the hard drive with the MBR went belly up, the OS would not boot. Is there a way to install an MBR on the working HD containing the OS?
Should I use GRUB or something? Would that be the easiest solution?
I have tried using the repair disk like in this tutorial (http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/20864-mbr-restore-windows-7-master-boot-record.html) but there are no listings at this step (http://www.sevenforums.com/attachments/tutorials/25674d1251414836-mbr-restore-windows-7-master-boot-record-mbr_04.png)

Alright. First time post here. I am having a few problems but I am pretty sure they are linked to the same cause, I just don't know how to go about fixing it. 1) When you enter cycling road entrance arrows appear between my character. 2) When exiting buildings a portion of my character's head appears at the bottom of the door instead of the arrow. 3) When surfing/flying my character's sprite splits when entering/exiting the surf/fly animation. Any Ideas?

Kronos (Saturn)
Case File: Rhea vs. Kronos
Police Reports
Case Description: Complainant (Rhea) accuses Defendant (Kronos) of child abuse. After Kronos castrated him, Ouranos told his son that he was destined to be kicked off the throne by his own child as well. To try to avoid this, Kronos swallowed every godling that his wife, Rhea, gave birth to. Hades, Poseidon, Hestia, Hera, and Demeter all went down the hatch.
Case Status: Case closed. When Zeus was born, Rhea tricked her hungry husband by giving him a stone to swallow instead of her son. It wasn't long before Zeus got big and set out to take his father down.

Summer Solstice by od1nnWatch
©2011-2016 od1nn
This was taken at midnight during summer solstice, the longest day of the year in Iceland. The valley Elliðaárdalur is one of the green recreational areas of Reykjavík, the capital of Iceland. The river cascades over several small waterfalls within the boundary of the city.
Would it be okay for me to use this for a non profit poster for my class? We're doing a project involving the Summer Solstice and the teacher wanted the back of our poster to be something they'd want to display
That's incredibly beautiful . . .
This wonderful work is a Favourite I have collected from my +devwatch of #TheFavouriteShowcase and it's featured here [link]

Glæsileg mynd! Var einmitt að æfi mig á shutter speed um daginn akkúrat við þennan foss.
Takk fyrir það, Elliðaárdalurinn er frábær staður til að æfa sig í ljósmyndun, verst að haustlitirnir eru farnir núna

Summers are great if you want to experience things like this, when the sun sets slightly under the horizon and starts to come up again moments later
Absolutely beautiful, nice capture.
is this HDR or does it just kinda look that way? - either way, great shot! wonderful colors
Thanks, yeah I had the same question earlier. It is HDR, all that detail would have been really hard to achieve with one exposure.
Yes that's what i thought, it's not as heavy HDR as i usually see tho, i like this more, it looks more natural
Wonderful, Iceland is a very beautiful country
Beautiful. Love the colors and the silky waters! Great capture!
Fantastic, incredible picture.
Beautifully stunning view!

Prayerfully Supporting Women and the Choices They Make
Problem Pregnancies and Abortion
The 204th General Assembly (1992) Response to The Report of the Special Committee on Problem Pregnancies and Abortion (Majority Report)
The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) has worked for years to address the diverse opinions concerning individuals and families who face problem pregnancies and the question of abortion. In an effort to be an agent of healing in the life of our denomination, a diverse special committee was formed and composed a majority report, "Problem Pregnancies and Abortion," that was adopted by the 204th (1992) General Assembly and has remained Presbyterian policy for 15 years.
This 1992 report on problem pregnancies and abortion recognizes that part of the task of the church is to wrestle faithfully with the different issues that face human beings in the midst of a fallen creation. While significant disagreements remain among Presbyterians, the 1992 report affirmed the ability of women to make good moral choices in regard to problem pregnancies, including decisions about abortion.
When a woman faces the difficult situation of a problem pregnancy, entities of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A), including Presbyterians Affirming Reproductive Options (PARO), recognize the complicated circumstances that, as the report says, we have neither the wisdom nor authority to address or decide for each woman. Therefore, PARO, in compliance with the report adopted by the 204th General Assembly, affirms and prayerfully supports the wide range of choices that should be available to women: respect and healthcare for the woman and child before and after birth, adoption or termination of the pregnancy.
While church members may not always be able to agree on the morality of abortion or the use and interpretation of Scripture, the PC(USA) does provide for freedom and exercise of conscience on this matter which so clearly divides us. Though we can agree that the fall of creation has had great effect on human sexuality and procreation, we are thankful that God is always involved in the work of redemption.

Actress takes on suffragette persona in Women's Equality tribute
August 28, 2009
By Rona S. Hirsch, Fort Meade Soundoff! Staff Writer
Story Highlights
- Performance celebrates women's suffrage movement
With a change in accent, hats and shawls, Barbara Callander took on the personas of several leaders of the women's suffrage movement in their relentless struggle to achieve the right to vote.
Callander performed "Marching Towards Equality" in observance of Women's Equality Day sponsored Aug. 19 at Club Meade by the installation's Equal Opportunity Office. The 90-minute program also included the National Anthem sung by Ciara Norman, a student at Old Mill High School in Millersville; a display of historic photographs; a documentary of the suffrage movement; and a celebratory cake.
"It was a great show, different," Deputy Installation Commander John Moeller said. "All the celebrations here are enjoyable, but to have a professional actress give us a little history, it's like living history, very entertaining."
During his welcome, Installation Commander Col. Daniel L. Thomas offered a more local perspective on the strides in women's equality. "I want to have you reflect a bit on our situation at Fort Meade and provide perspective on how far women have come," he said. "Part of it is you don't really think about it and it's a good thing, in a sense."
Thomas then listed names of women directors. "If you take away our female leadership, we would not run, period," he said. "So it shows the progress we made, where we are at and what we need to continue to do to protect that."
A professional actress residing in Silver Spring, Callander has performed women's history programs for the past 15 years, touring in Washington state with actress and playwright Toni Douglass in two plays about the suffrage movement, "May's Vote" and "Missed Liberties."
"We make history come alive," Callander said. "People say, 'I never knew history could be so interesting.' "
During her dramatic retelling, Callander presented the struggle for women's suffrage that culminated in 1920 with the ratification of the 19th Amendment. With her hair in a bun and dressed in a long skirt, lace-up boots and a lavender buttoned-up blouse, Callander read excerpts from plays and the diaries and letters by such prominent suffragettes as Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Lucy Stone and Stone's sister-in-law, Antoinette Brown Blackwell.
"Stanton was considered a great speech writer, while Anthony was a great organizer," Callander said.
The movement was influenced by Abigail Adams, said Callander. In a letter to her husband, she urged him to "remember the ladies, John" while hashing out the Constitution: "Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands. Remembers, all men will be tyrants if they could."
As Stanton, Callander outlined women's grievances at the Seneca Falls Convention, the first women's rights convention held in 1848 in upstate New York: "We are assembled to protest against a form of government existing without the consent of the governed ... to have such disgraceful laws as give man the power to chastise and imprison his wife, to take the wages which she earns, the property which she inherits, and, in case of separation, the children of her love; laws which make her the mere dependent on his bounty."
In a letter to Stanton, Anthony declared: "I shall never understand why simple equality is for woman an extreme demand."
As Anthony, Callander also laments to Stanton her frustration at turning 60 without having achieved suffrage, still unmarried, childless and alone for Christmas eating "spinster porridge."
Drawing on a satirical piece, Callander took on the role of Mrs. W. Winslow Crannell, an upper crust antisuffragette, who, before succumbing to "the vapors," rattled off a list of often-contradictory reasons why women should not get the vote.
"Women would not use it. If they had it, you could not drive them to the polls. ... If women were enfranchised, they would neglect their homes, desert their families, spend all their time at the polls. ... They would vote against their husbands, thus creating dissension, family quarrels and worse."
Women, she insisted, don't need to vote to get their way; nagging, is quite effective. "If that doesn't do, cry," she said. "Get what you want, make a scene, but do it in a womanly way. That is so much more dignified than walking up to a ballot box and dropping a piece of paper in."
Although early suffragette leaders died without reaching their goal, "they were brilliant in inspiring and training others," Callander said. "With each new suffrage state, more and more members of Congress had to answer to women back home."
By August 1920, only one more state was needed for the three-quarter majority required for ratification. As Febb Burn of east Tennessee, Callander read a letter to her son Harry Burn, encouraging the young Tennessee legislator to vote for ratification. "Don't forget to be a good boy and help AfaEURo I'll be wanting to see how you stood up."
Because of his swing vote, the 19th Amendment was signed into law on Aug. 26. But only one person who attended the Seneca Falls Convention was still alive, while many who had seen ratification hadn't even been born when the struggle began, Callander said.
Blackwell, who spoke at the 1850 National Women's Rights Convention, was also still alive. "She said, 'This is the happiest moment of my life. I know now, before I die, I will be able to go to the polls and vote,' " Callander said. "And she did" at age 95 in the 1920 presidential election.
After the event, many in the audience discussed the program. "I really enjoyed it," said Hope Woods, of the EEO for the Department of the Army at the Pentagon. "I really love how she portrayed it. The re-enactment gave us a better insight into the mind-set of women, and how strong and determined they were to have their vote heard. Overall, it was a great program."

It is quite normal to accumulate large amounts of rubbish in your Cambridge home; it could be from spring cleaning, a renovation project, an extension of your home or even just throwing out old items that you don't need. When it comes to disposing it though, many homeowners are left scratching their heads – if they put the rubbish outside so that it can be collected by the garbage disposal company it will definitely not go down well with the neighbors – it will interfere with the aesthetics of the neighborhood. Fortunately, there are ski hire companies in Cambridge that can take away your rubbish for a small fee. A ski looks very much like your normal dustbin but it is bigger and does not have a lid. Skips come in different sizes.
The process is a simple one. All you need to do is look online for a skip hire company that is near you. When you call them they will ask you what size of skip you need. Since this is your first time using a skip it is quite likely that you will not have any idea – don't worry, skip hire companies are usually happy to advise clients on the size of skip based on the amount of garbage. It is important to note that you cannot fill a skip to the top – the skip hire company will not take it away because it is a hazard on the road.
Once you agree on skip size the skip hire company will ask you when you need the skip and also when you would like to have it collected. On the day you agreed on, the skip hire company will deliver the skip promptly for you to fill. If you have heavy items that you cannot lift into the skip talk to the skip hire company – most of them have equipment that you can hire to lift heavy items. Make sure that you have all waste in the skip before the agreed pick-up time. If you are late you will have to pay a fee for every hour.
Once the rubbish is taken away it is sorted into what can be recycled and what cannot. The skip hire company is required to dispose of all rubbish in an environmentally friendly way.
One of the most effective and efficient skip hire companies in Cambridge is Dawson Plant Hire Ltd. They have different skip services and they also have lifting equipment that you can hire. Find out more by calling them on 01954 200 400. You can also refer to their website, http://www.dawsonplanthire.co.uk/grabservice.html.

Downtown alleys are soon to be rid of dumpsters. The city is so mandating as it begins new garbage hauling contracts on March 30th, according to George Sidles, a SPU solid waste and recycling manager.
Last fall, the scrappy, enviro-trash company CleanScapes beat the odds to win city contracts for the central and northeast parts of the city. CleanScapes' Chris Martin lies on the righteous side of a new garbage morality that is trying to clean up the industry. Recycling is a big part of that, but so, in Martin's view, are dumpster-free alleys ("clear alleys" in the new city parlance).Martin has long argued that they create safer, cleaner spaces. (No junkies or prostitute hiding behind, or in, dumpsters.) CleanScapes started its own dumpster-free collection service some years ago in Pioneer Square. That service, since spread to other neighborhoods, uses garbage bags rather than dumpsters, and that's exactly how the city wants CleanScapes to proceed downtown.
While generally successful, some businesses turned away from the service after seeing birds pluck holes in the bags and trash come spilling out. SPU's Sidles says that CleanScapes will be responsible for cleaning up the area around the bags if that happens. The company will collect bags at least daily and sometimes three times a day.
The policy will impact only those businesses--about 350-- that keep their dumpsters in the alleys, which fall under the city's control, according to Sidles. Other establishments that keep dumpsters on their own property, like many downtown high-rises, will still be able to do so.
The change is one of many that are coming with the new contracts. Sidles calls them "the most significant in the last ten years." A big push on composting will allow meat and dairy foods in with the yard waste, which will be collected weekly rather than twice a month. Glass will no longer be separated out. And the city will collect electronics and even furniture from your curb for a small fee.

I am miscarrying after 6 1/2 weeks. So far I have experienced cramping and bleeding like a moderately bad period, I guess, for 3 days. How long does this take to finish with? I wish it would just come gushing out so I could take all my grief at once and get it over with.
This was our first pregnancy and I was so optimistic that things would be healthy. I am 29, not young but not too old yet either. I was eating healthy, cut out all the caffeine and all that junk, was doing good gentle exercise every day like long walks and yoga. I felt so proud of myself for taking care of this baby so well from day one. It turns out that none of that mattered one bit, and I am so angry.
People have been supportive about it, but there is this sense I get that "well, what did you expect? this happens all the time so early in pregnancy". I don't know, maybe I am making that up in my head. To me, this was my baby. I don't care if it was still the size of a bean, or if God knows what he's doing by bringing the baby back to heaven or what the fuck ever. I don't want to hear that shit right now. Pardon my french.
The selfish part of me wanted a baby so badly this year. I was so excited to imagine having a little newborn on thanksgiving and christmas. Instead, I guess I have to hope that we can conceive for a 2010 baby. But what if I can't ever conceive again? I don't want to hear that shit about how normal it is to miscarry your first pregnancy.
My husband was super supportive the first day, holding me when I cried and saying all the right words. But in the last couple days his mood has returned to normal and it seems like life is just back to where it was before we found out I was pregnant. I'm not moving that fast- does he understand I am still bleeding, still reminded of it every time I have to go and change a pad or feel the cramps?
Thanks for letting me use this space to vent. I never thought I would be the one to go through something like this.
