Jewish Students Contemplate Life in Europe
The summer university for Jewish students in Europe opened yesterday in a small village north of Berlin under the slogan, "To be a Jew in Europe," with some 300 Jewish youth assembling from all over the continent.
The summer university for Jewish students in Europe opened yesterday in a small village north of Berlin under the slogan, "To be a Jew in Europe," with some 300 Jewish youth assembling from all over the continent "to talk Jewish, to think Jewish, to dance Jewish and to kiss Jewish" over the coming week.
The students will attend seminars and lectures, and try to formulate ways for themselves and their peers to live modern Jewish lives in Europe. For some, however, it seems like mission impossible in light of the problems facing the Jews on the continent.
Steve Ohana, a 26-year-old from France, says the attitude and treatment he has encountered over the past four years has caused him to feel like a foreigner in his homeland.
"French society is sick," he said, "and the attitude toward the Jews is the symptom. In the eyes of my surroundings, I have become an emissary of Israel. At work, it is already impossible to escape questions such as: `How do you explain what Israel is doing?' Even if I try to explain, they aren't prepared to listen."
The French government has declared war on anti-Semitism, but Ohana believes that in general, the French public is disinterested. "People don't really care about the situation of the Jews," he said.
Ohana feels he has become closer and closer to Israel in recent years. "When I visited Israel four years ago, I felt it was my second home," he said. "When I visited again a few weeks ago, I felt it is my true home."
Yoni Erez, an engineering student at Haifa's Technion, moved to Israel from France two years ago, and is attending the convention as part of a World Union of Jewish Students delegation. Erez said he plans to call on his friends to follow his lead. "When I used to get beaten up at school, I accepted it as a decree of fate," he says. "It was only after arriving in Israel that I understood the injustice that had been done to me and how unnecessary it was."
Viktoria Dolburd, a 24-year-old from Germany, said anti-Semitism worries the Jewish youth in France more so than the Jewish youth in other European countries. "It is impossible not to come across it in France or Belgium," she said, "but the problem is far less severe in other countries."
Nevertheless, Dolburd admits that Israel complicates and confuses her self-identity and that of her peers. "The problem is that the non-Jewish environment hasn't really come to terms with our existence as Jews in Europe," she said. "So one day we are the children of the poor Jews who were murdered in the Holocaust, and the next day we are the Israeli occupiers who are abusing the Palestinians."
After being active for the past few years in the Jewish Students Union in Germany, Dolburd has also come to the conclusion that her future lies outside of Europe, and she will be immigrating to Israel in two months' time.
"There is no future in Europe for the Jews who want to live `normal' lives and remain Jews, and I say this after dedicating many years of thought to the matter," she said.

I think West Virginia may be a top 25 team, but they won't be on Monday, giving the BCS AQ Big East zero ranked teams... yet one of their just 8 teams is guaranteed a BCS bowl.
Miami has looked pretty solid for the ACC, but they might be the only ranked ACC team if Florida State can't squeak in.
20 teams... 1 or maybe two ranked, no top ten, 2 auto BCS bids
18 teams in the MWC/WAC...
#13 Utah likely moving up
#26 Air Force
#27 Nevada likely moving up
Great system where 20 teams get two auto bids, and 18 teams who have 3 times as many legit teams get no auto bids. What a load of crap.
BCS Bull Crap S### That is the real name.

Interview: Chad Sullins and Last Call Coalition cast "Wicked Spell" with new album, Saturday show at Grady's 66 Pub
A version of this column appears in Friday's Weekend Life section of The Oklahoman.
Red Dirt singer casts 'Wicked Spell'
Chad Sullins and his band, the Last Call Coalition, will release their third album, "Wicked Spell," Monday on their own MADCOR Music. They will play an album release show Saturday night at Grady's 66 Pub in Yukon.
When Chad Sullins croons about love casting a "Wicked Spell" on his new album, the red dirt band leader speaks from the hard experience of one bewitched by music.
"This record, it's a little more somber. There's two or three different songs that talk about the road and then there's a couple of songs that talk about missing people. Basically, this record is about how my last record kicked my a–," the Stillwater-based singer/songwriter said with a laugh.
"When (the band's 2012 sophomore album) 'Incommunicado' came out, it was a whole new experience for us. We did radio tours and a lot of magazine and publicity interviews. Then, I think we added it up, and we were at 248 shows for 2013, including full band and acoustic shows. It was just nonstop. It was a long year. I mean, it pretty much cost me my second marriage, and that's kind of reflected on this record."
Sullins and his band, the Last Call Coalition, will release their third album, "Wicked Spell," Monday on their own MADCOR Music. They will play an album release show Saturday night at Grady's 66 Pub in Yukon.
Love spell
The title track delves into the devastating nature of love, a subject that Sullins, 36, feels he knows all too well after a hard-touring 2013 that saw his professional prospects rise even as his private life crumbled.
"It's always been that way since I've been doing this for a living: It's like when my career's going good, my personal life sucks. And when my personal life's going good, my career sucks. I did get some really good advice this last year from a friend of mine: He said, 'You can't be married to your career and married to your wife. One of 'em's gonna be a mistress one way or the other.' And as much as I hate to say it, I've put everything into this band and this career and what I want to do for the rest of my life," he said.
"It's pretty much about the love of anything … whether it's a woman or your job or your hobby or your best friend or drugs or money or whatever. If you love something enough, it usually ends up destroying you in one way, shape or form or another."
He's learned some hard lessons, including that as much as he enjoys touring, "man, the miles are miles," and they can wear down even the most determined musician.
"You can't write good songs if you're sitting in a mansion and swimming in a swimming pool and walking around a golf course all day – not the ones I want to listen to," he said. "I try to write the type of music that I would want to listen to, and that happy pop-country crap's not something I enjoy listening to. I like to listen to guys who write songs from their experiences and write songs from the heart. And that's what I try to do."
Country sound
Fans of "Incommunicado" will notice that with the exception of a few tracks, "Wicked Spell" sounds a lot more country than the Coalition's previous release. The defiant frontman admitted he took offense at some of who said his band rocked too hard or sang the blues too well to be considered true red dirt players.
"It's basically a big middle finger. There were people that were telling me we're not a country band and I don't know how to be in a country band or whatever. I mean, I was born and raised on good, old-school country music from my parents. When I became a teenager, of course, I started playing in rock bands just to p— my parents off. But eventually I come back to my roots," he said.
"I wanted to prove to people that this is the type of music that I love. It just so happens that it's infused with a little rock 'n' roll here and there."
For "Wicked Spell," the band ventured for the first time into The Boohatch, the Ada studio of red dirt standout Mike McClure, who produced the album.
"That is an entire experience in itself for sure," Sullins said. "It was just really, really laidback. And it was exciting to get to work with Mac because he has been one of my heroes for so long. The Boohatch is just this very kind of mellow artistic environment, where everything can just kind of flow. There was really no stress in making this record like there was with the last one. The last one, I mean, you could cut the tension with a knife inside the recording studio with 'Incommunicado.'"
Sullins even wrote his first waltz, "Battle Waltz in D," after he complained on Twitter about contemporary country stars who try to boost their credibility by name-dropping classically country places and people. A pal challenged him to write a song that gave a classy shout-out to Tennessee.
Both the band's country and rock sides will be on display Saturday night.
"One of the things that'll always stick in my head is John Cooper from the Red Dirt Rangers told me 'That's how you know you're in a red dirt band is whenever you're too rock for the country joints and you're too country for the rock joints.' We've been kicked out of a couple of each," Sullins said with a laugh.
Chad Sullins and the Last Coalition album release show
When: 8:30 p.m. Saturday.
Where: Grady's 66 Pub, 444 W Main St., Yukon.

12 reviews | 4.5 out of 5
I have a newborn and a 35lb toddler. This stroller was much lighter than expected and moves about very smoothly. I expected that with the extra weight it would be more difficult to maneuver. The only feature I miss from my single stroller to this double is more space near the handle (the single had a tray where I could store my phone and keys). As far as set up, it was relatively easy except when unfolding it. The latch is near the bottom and is a bit tricky. You must lift the latch while expanding the stroller and due to the position of the latch it is a bit awkward. Since that is my biggest complaint, I'd say it was a pretty good buy.
Ok, Ill try to be as detailed as possible.... I have a 2 and 1/2 year old and a 7 month old. They both love this stroller. I have tried around 5 other double strollers and this one exceeded my expectations. The wheels are really big which allows easier turns and less jarring for the kids. I love that the handel bar you use to push the stroller extends out far enough that you dont have to bend over (Im 5'9"). The front seat is great for toddlers because they can get in and out of it themselves because the tray is only on one side. The tray is very sturdy and my toddler loves pretending to drive it lol. The back seat is great to because it reclines all the way down to an almost laying position and it has side head supports that help with a younger baby. The storage space is huge and easy to get to. It is easy to fold up and fits in my car's trunk. It is easy to stear and I like that the handel is foam...makes it easier om the hands. The seats are far enough away from each other that my little one cant bother or pull mt toddlers hair :) Some cons that I noticed was that there is not any storage on the handel bar for keys/cell phone. Also, the cup holder connected to the handel is kind of flimsy and could easily brake off if one of the kids decided to pull on it. The wheels seemed to lose some traction after going for a stroll on the road and the front wheels started to shake pretty bad when I tried going for a slow jog. Also, the back seat doesnt sit up right all the way so my little one was constantly strains his neck to see things.
I love this stroller! I have a baby and a 3 year old and this works perfectly for strolls to the park or a walk through the zoo. My daughter loves to pretend she is steering the stroller and it's super easy for her to get in & out. The baby fits well in the back and there is tons of storage for extra things underneath. A little front heavy when making turns, but nothing I wouldn't expect from a double stroller. We love it! Everything we were looking for!
We chose this because it folds up smaller than most double strollers. We use it when traveling or shopping as we have a larger, side-by-side, double stroller we use when at home and for going for walks. We ordered it online after reading about it online. We were disappointed that it did not have the full recline and baby boot that the previous Jeep Traveler Tandem had (brown version). If purchasing and there is a choice, I'd chose that version over this Spark Green version. Because it does not have this, it is not suitable for newborns unless you use a car seat. Folding - It does fold up small compared to other double strollers but folding it up is sometimes difficult as it "sticks". Maneuverability - Don't expect to make tight corners - it is a bit cumbersome, but it isn't too bad to push. It does fit through doors and down shopping aisles unlike a lot of double strollers. Storage - It does have lots of storage underneath. However, it would be better if the basket pushed down as some strollers do. When you have the rear seat reclined, it is difficult to access the basket. Also, if it had a parent tray on the handle, it would be better. As for the bags on the side - to me these are basically useless. The Steering Wheel - My 2 year old son loves this. A definite bonus. Straps - The straps aren't as nice and padded as other strollers. Especially the strap at the crotch. This should be wider and/or padded. Sun Shades - As mentioned in some online reviews, it's pretty easy for the kids to play with these. My two year old won't leave his alone and pushes it back or forward. Padding on handle - Here's where the Jeep Traveler Tandem really let me down. Within two days of owning the stroller and using it less than five times, the foam padding on the handle had cracked and broken. As soon as we saw this type of padding, we knew it would be trouble as it tends to wear easily and break off or become sticky. Jeep did offer to replace the stroller but we would have had to send in part of our first stroller (meaning we'd be without a stroller for a few weeks) and they would only ship to a USA address. Unfortunately, we live in Canada so we were out of luck and must live with this dysfunctional handle. In the end, it's an economical choice for a double stroller and folds up smaller than most. If this wasn't a stroller we use mainly when traveling, if it was my main stroller, I'd consider spending a bit more money on another product.
On any but the smoothest ground this thing is a beast to steer. I am 5'10" 170 pounds and I have to use all my strength to steer it when both kids (19 and 25 pounds) are in the stroller. My wife can't really steer it at all. It looks nice, the shades and cup holders are good, but it is really heavy and hard to maneuver. Would NOT buy it again.
Provides a cheaper alternative to the Chicco brand double stroller.
Very sturdy construction.
Steers well considering how long it is. Takes a few trys to expand/collapse until you get the hang of it.
Front seat passenger is cramped with Chicco carrier in the back seat.
4th jeep brand stoller, and I love it as much as the others. When is says compact, it means it! I had a horriable experience with a Graco double stroller that was much more expensive. This stroller is able to naviagte the very large hills where I live and that is saying somthing when you add a heavy car seat an infant and a 3 year old. And yes it goes through regular doors without a problem, and it turns really well for a double.
The jeep brand stroller are great in general I had a jogging one. Then another jeep jogging stroller (only got rid of the first cause I thought we were done having kids) that has already lasted two kids, a small umberlla type one, and now this double. Jeep strollers are the best! I have also owned two Graco and gotten only a few month out of each one and hated them!
I have a compact car, and had a difficult time shopping for a double stroller that would fit in my trunk (42x21x35-trunk size). This one not only fits better than my single stroller, but it is well made. It's sturdy,...has big wheels for good manuevering,....unfolds to a spacious size (better noticed in person than in the photograph). Better than I expected. I have a 15month old that loves the steering wheel in the front seat and a baby on the way. It is missing the double adult cup holders and does not accomodate the more affordable, but more bulky Evenflo rear-facing car seats, but the pros outweigh the cons. Basket on bottom is nice size...Love the hieght adjustable handle...and I love the attractive look of the stroller. Handles better than most tandem strollers. LOVE IT!!!!
I had this stroller for a week maybe. I got it for my 3 1/2 yr old and my 5 month old. This sucker turns on a dime. Very easy to maneuver. However, I didnt keep it long at all. My 3 1/2 yr olds head touched the top of the canopy and his feet were dragging right over the wheels so. Very nice stroller though and he loved the steering wheel.
The only issue I had with the stroller was finding a carseat that was afforadable to fit in the stroller. Other than that i love very easy to use un-fold and to fold. My son just turned 1 in september and he loves the front seat with they toy. I love it best thing i have ever had for my children!

Talking of Trousers
Chapel, Beth, Contemporary Review
IN military history, changes in tactics, drill, weapons and uniforms are often brought about almost by chance. One amusing example, which caused a stir in the most conservative army in Europe -- that of the Austro-Hungarian Empire -- was caused by a riding accident.
Several years ago, as a young art student, I visited the main military gallery of the Army Historical Museum in Vienna, where my eye was taken by a quite undistinguished painting, after Ajdukiewicz, entitled |Cavalry-General Nicholas Graf von Pejacsevic Foxhunting in Hollics'. In it, the gallant officer riding to hounds is shown in full control of his galloping horse, his shako firmly clamped to his head as if it were glued in place, yet he had only one arm!
My amusement at this remarkable feat prompted an elderly gentleman standing nearby to relate how the General had unwittingly brought about a change in the summer pattern trousers worn by Austro-Hungarian officers.
Towards the end of the nineteenth century, Dress Regulations specified that white sail-cloth should be worn in warm weather. These were unattractive, uncomfortable garments, which fell in thick, unsightly folds over the boots, their only redeeming quality being that the material was almost indestructible.
In 1890, the General was commanding 4th Corps, and on a fine day in June of that year, he travelled by train, from his headquarters in Budapest, to Czegled, to attend manoeuvres in the Klein Kumanien area. These ended in the early afternoon, and the General immediately left for the station, in order to return post-haste to the capital. There he was to attend a reception, at which the guest of honour would be the Archduke Josef, a member of the Imperial family.
The area around Czegled was not exclusively a military training area; in fact, it was more famous as the centre of the Hungarian pig farming industry. The animals roamed freely, but tended to congregate around pools of mud slurry, in which they submerged themselves for coolness during the heat of the day.
As the General trotted at the head of the small group of officers, his horse reared in fright when a monstrous mud-covered boar rose suddenly between its front legs. Skilful rider though he was, Pejacsevic was thrown, to land in the filthy black slurry.
Having established there was no serious damage, the General scrambled to his feet, anxious to rid himself of the mud and filth encrusting his white breeches. To add to his annoyance, he discovered a long rip in the seat of his trousers. Obviously he could not return to Budapest in such a condition, yet it was imperative that he be there in time for the Reception that evening.
Fortunately the General was able to enlist the help of a friend, Baron Szekassy, whose mansion was nearby. …

Welcome to Frankfurt, Norway: New 'A-Team' Film Gets 'F' for Geography
Cologne's cathedral in Frankfurt, German border guards speaking Norwegian, a misplaced US Embassy -- the new "A-Team" film seems to have a rather loose relationship with geography.
A quick geography quiz. True or false: Germans speak Norwegian. Too easy? OK, how about this one: Cologne Cathedral is in Frankfurt. Hmmm, still too simple, perhaps. Let's try one more. The German city Frankfurt am Main is the same as the city Frankfurt an der Oder.
One scene in the film -- which opened in the US at the beginning of June, before finally hitting the big screen in Germany last Thursday -- has particularly furrowed brows among moviegoers on this side of the Atlantic. In a scene which purports to be a bird's-eye view of the train station in the German banking center Frankfurt am Main, one can clearly see Cologne Cathedral jutting up into the sky next to the Cologne main station -- beautiful, perhaps, but fully 192 kilometers (120 miles) up the autobahn.
German Border Guards in Norway -- or Vice Versa
But there's more. According to the Internet Movie Database, one of the characters, Pike, is arrested in Frankfurt and brought to the US Embassy in the city for interrogation. The only problem, however, is that while there is a US consulate in Frankfurt, the US Embassy in Germany is located in faraway Berlin.
Which is just a shade more than the distance between Frankfurt am Main and the eastern German city of Frankfurt an der Oder on the border with Poland. Who cares? In one scene in "The A-Team" -- supposedly set in downtown Frankfurt am Main -- the cars sport license plates beginning with FF, the auto abbreviation for Frankfurt an der Oder.
But no matter. As the German press has pointed out, at least it was just a bit of geographical creativity. And, at the end of the film, Cologne's cathedral was still standing -- which can't be said for the 2008 film "The Day the Earth Stood Still." In one scene in that film, Cologne Cathedral is destroyed entirely.

I thought you guys might want to see a little bit of overkill on a stand one of my workmates made for me to support the front of our bike in our minivan.
Yes I could have nailed a couple of 2x4s together, but I work in the Product Design and Development department for a well known manufacturer of ski and wakeboard boats where "good enough" is never good enough . We use a lot of high-density polyethylene sheet, commonly known by the brand name Starboard. We recently bough a new van (see my other thread for a review of the 2011 Odyssey) and needed a stand to hold the fork securely while transporting the tandem to ride events that we enjoy throughout the SE.
My friend is one of the CAD engineers. He put this design together and cut all of the parts on our CNC router for me.
It holds the fork quite securely and the front wheel nestles in its own integrated stand next to the bike.

This is a city owned campground that the city doesn't know how to manage. The sites are extremely unlevel and on grass. Some rigs may not be able to get level. Also the hook-ups are on the nonstandard side; the sewer connection is up hill from your rig, not allowing you to empty your tanks. Many of the sites have 3-4 tents in them, with 4-6 ATV's per site. This is not a nice quiet campground. With all the ATV's and clotheslines strung between the trees, we almost saw more than one rider almost beheaded. The speed allowed in the park is going to get a child hurt if they don't curtail it. We stayed here in a 39 foot fifth wheel and will not stay here again. - Mike1987

Price reflects two weeks stay on an angled back in site with 30 amp electric, water, sewer. Interior roads are asphalt and sites dirt/gravel/grass. Has angled back ins and "C" type pull thurs. There are tree branches that need to be cut back. Allows campfires. WiFi worked great Able to get 5 channels on the antenna. Electric hasn't been improved since the June 2012 review. Some what easy in and out with a 60 foot combo. - Tallboy

Beautiful campground overlooking ore-be-gone lake with some sites on the lake. Sites are laid out very well so your view is something other than your neighbor and are very spacious. There is also a nice children's playground by the lake. One word of caution, there is no sign at the entrance of the campground so if you come to the brown sign for the off road vehicle trail, slam on your brakes! You just passed it. If you continue, you will go down a hill that dead ends into the lake, but no fear, if worse comes to worse, you can turn around in the parking lot. Also be aware the directions on the Internet have you turning right on Wisconsin however if you are coming from the north, you are entering town at the opposite end and will make a left on Wisconsin. When I called ahead to get directions, they didn't even get it right! - wheelchairs on the go

Office was closed when we arrived and fortunately were greeted by one of the residents as the camp host wasn't here either. Un-level sites on gravel, they were pull-through - however, requested 50 amp, and none were available despite the park being relatively empty. Found out only sites along the outskirts of the park were 50 amp and the one next to us (that was a 50 amp site) had the camp host's pontoon boat parked in the spot. We did get compensated for taking the 30 amp site. Does have a picnic table and fire pit at each site. Not very well-run and probably more for ATV'ers as advertised. Was a good location to see the Iron Range and surrounding area. Wouldn't stay here again. - J&L Coleman

They will see their favourite lead couples Viren-Jeevika (Karan Tacker - Krystle Dsouza) and Virat-Maanvi (Kushal Tandon and Nia Sharma) dancing to the popular Lohri track of the film Veer Zara. Our source from the set informs us that the cast of show had a gala time shooting for this sequence.
Tellybuzz spoke to Nia Sharma who plays the buoyant Maanvi and she said that she totally went berserk dancing," It was fantastic fun and I got to do Bhangra. Fans will love the sequence." It also promises some romantic moments between the popular couples.
She also confirmed that in tonight's episode the Vadera ladies will defeat the men in the VPL cricket match. Nia added," They lost the match so they will be cooking for us."
We hope that the men of the house are able to cook some edible food!

Stephen Olford and David Olford, both widely respected preachers in their own right, define "expository preaching" as preaching that exposes Scripture instead of imposing upon it. In Anointed Expository Preaching, the authors teach its technique and equip and encourage preachers of all kinds to respect their calling and minister God's inerrant Word. The Olfords' methodology of preaching makes this a deeply spiritual and intensely practical book, offering specific instructions to help preachers write, review, and rehearse their sermons, exposing the eternal truths of Scripture and clarifying the themes of their message. They are the authors of The Secret of Soul Winning in the Evangelism Collection (11 volumes).

The call to preach must not be controlled by the church, even though the elders of a local church are expected to confirm the call (1 Tim. 4:14; 2 Tim. 1:6). In the final analysis, the call to preach is the sovereign initiative of God in the life and experience of the one who is predestinated to fulfill that role.87 people highlighted this

Medical genetics can be said to be the first subspecialty of molecular medicine. Rapid incorporation of recombinant DNA technology into the clinical diagnostics of genetic disease has been the modus operandi of the field. At the 1989 American Society of Human Genetics meeting, more than 60% of manuscripts were molecular descriptions of disease genes. Application of DNA-based diagnostics has been accelerated by development of the polymerase chain reaction. Yeast artificial chromosome vectors and other methods for cloning large DNA segments and data flow from the Human Genome Initiative will accelerate disease gene identifications far beyond the expectations of 1 or 2 years ago. In only about 100 of the more than 3000 known heritable diseases has the mutant gene been isolated.1 We anticipate identification of all 50 000 to 100 000 human genes within 10 to 15 years. To accommodate the application of DNA technology for molecular medicine, we

I'm just curious... do any of you plan on telling your children that they were conceived using donor eggs? Why or why not? And if so, how do you plan on approaching this subject?
Telling your children....
I can't answer your question concretely, since the furthest I've gotten in my journey is making the new patient consult appointment, but I've always thought that I would tell. When I saw this post last night I mentioned it to DH and he looked at me and said, "Why would we have to tell?" I don't think he ever really thought of it at all.
My reasoning is that I don't think that it is a big horrible secret to have to use donor eggs or IVF. To my thinking, you wanted your child sooo badly that you went to the extremes to accomplish it. They will not be any less "your kid" because of that. I would also make sure that I tell them what is age appropriate, so they understand how precious and special I think they are. I already have one dd, so I don't want ANY of them to feel that they aren't special to me at all, and that will include bio-dd.
DEBT FREE !!!!!!!!� Follow me to WDF to see how it's done in baby steps!!
I hadn't given much thought to this question either as I am only just beginning my donor egg cycle but I have to agree with Susan, its not a big horrible secret at all. At this point, we are not telling anyone what we are doing. I don't want family and friends to always look at my baby and think that its not mine. It is mine. Every drop of blood in that baby will be mine. You can't educate everyone on the scientific process, so its just easier not to tell. As far as the baby goes though - when it gets older, we will certainly tell him/her, just for the interest factor.
We made a wish and it came true! After 3 long years, our son was finally born via the miracle of IVF in May, 2012.
"Every drop of blood in that baby will be mine."
I love this! What a beautiful way of thinking about it. We've never had an issue with DNA (obviously, since we went to adoption before IVF with donor eggs) but I will definitely keep this sentiment in my back pocket.
Now that we've found the egg bank in Atlanta that has fixed cost IVF and will refund the money if there's no live birth, DH and I are leaning towards either:
A) Proceeding with IVF next fall if our home study expires and we still have not adopted
B) Trying IVF for our second child if we do adopt between now and next fall.
I always planned on telling. Our RE sent us to a therapist to make sure we were dealing with this decision properly ( he does with all his patients) and the agency owner where we selected our donor is a licensed psychologist. They both highly suggested we tell our child. The agency recommended we started a scrapbook from day one showing our child as "seeds" and then how the seed is in mommy's belly. She said we should start as soon as we start reading books to our child as early as 6mths. old, so they grow up not knowing any different and we don't have to dread that "talk" one day. (especially not to a rebelious teenager). I loved this idea! I already started to scrapbook our process. She gave us a guide book on how to answer age appropriate questions, I've even found books on the internet. I like "Mommy was your tummy Big?". I always felt that this was a choice I was making and that my child should not be "punished" for lack of better words, as to their background. Hope this helps!
09 diagnosed stage III endo & uterine septum after 3 miscarriages. 3 surgeries later no response to protocol~ onto DE. Loving my little ones. B/G twins.
I will tell my child because I want to be completely honest in our relationshsip. I would be angry and betrayed if my parents didn't tell me and I would never do that to my child. Trust is extremely important to me and my husband and we want our children to trust us. It's so hard to trust anyone in this world, we want our children to know that they can always trust us, and not telling them something like this would be a complete breech of that trust. I will always be open and honest with all of my friends and family, I would expect no less of them.
We already have several articles and book ideas from our DE counselor and will use the books as reading material when we start to read to our child. This will be something they know about before they can even understand the meaning, but we will grow into that when the time is right. I'm confident that this will be the easiest way to handle it.
I can say that another reason I'm so sure this is what I want is because I gave a baby up for adoption when I was 21. Her parents assured me that she would know she was adopted and that they would answer her questions about me. I wanted her to know that I love her and that I made my decision BECAUSE I loved her. I want this child to know for the same reasons.

I plan to tell our kids from the beginning (what's appropriate for their age).
Some of my concerns are that I grew up with the expectation that I'd have kids (without problems). I want my kids to know that sometimes it's not easy and sometimes people just aren't able to have biological kids but can still be parents thru many other routes.
I'm so grateful for donor egg ivf as it's bringing me babies. I'm not ashamed of it. Just making the best out of the cards I was dealt (POF at 33yrs old).
We finally have our rainbow TWINS after 3 hard years and 80 days in the NICU! Thank you God for these miracles!
I actually know my egg donor - she and I were close friends before, and I'd say we are even closer now. Our husbands were friends even before she and I became friends about 6 years ago when she moved here. I LOVE her 2 boys already as if they were my own - they are 2 and 3 and I've known them both since the day they were born.
We ALL had to go through counseling together and separately before we made this decision. I was adopted myself, so I know how it feels to come from a "different" genetic background than everyone else. My parents told me as soon as I can remember understanding what it meant, and we decided to tell our baby girl as well, in age-appropriate ways, of course. We certainly don't ever want there to be any confusion, and her want to date her half-brothers or anything!!!
As our families grow up together, my friend has her sons call me & my husband "aunt and uncle" and I will have my girl do the same for her family. Our kids - who are actually 1/2 siblings - will be "cousins" for lack of a better term. But again, once our girl is able to understand she came from MY belly, but from Aunt Christine's egg, we will explain it better.
My thought is at the younger ages, we'd just say something like, "Aunt Christine helped us bring you into Mommy's belly" or something to that effect. Like others, I just want it to be a normal thing in my child's life. There is NOTHING to be ashamed of, and nothing to hide.
Our daughter is an awesome miracle of life that I would never have been able to experience if it wasn't for my friend. I can never thank her enough, and will never be able to express to my daughter how much she is loved and wanted.
Rhonda 38yo, DH 35yo, Type 1 diabetic
Rhonda - I love love LOVE your story. I think it's so amazing that you have such a strong relationship with your friend. What an incredible gift from her to help you start your family! I think it's very cool that you have such a family-like friendship and I'm sure your kids are going to grow up knowing that they're love by so many people.
I will not be telling our baby and we havent told anybody about the donor egg. I live in a country that still has a long way to go and adoption is seen as a great gossip, imagine donor eggs! I see it like this: this is my child, my blood is passing through her and where the egg came from is irrelevant to us. BUT, this is my personal opinion because of my particular circumstances.
In love with our daughter Mia. Born March 29th, 2011.
I am not planning on telling my child. I do not think it is anything to be ashamed of.. I just think it is kind of irrelevant also. My ED was private anyway so my child won't have contact w/ the donor.. so it doesn't matter to us where the egg came from.
I want him to feel like my child because he is! :)

Both John Riccitiello of Electronic Arts and Laurent Detoc of Ubisoft USA run ESA member companies, so their harsh criticisms of this year's show certainly stung the ESA. It is significant that they are on board with the new format.
Then and now, here's what Riccitiello and Detoc had to say about E3:
(July, 2008) I hate E3 like this. Either we need to go back to the old E3, or we'll have to have our own private events.
(yesterday) The E3 Expo will be the pre-eminent North American gaming show next year. The new, larger event is better for industry leaders and for serious gamers.
(July, 2008) E3 this year is terrible. The world used to come to E3. Now it's like a pipe-fitters show in the basement.
(yesterday) The video game business will be twice as big in 2009 as it was in 2006 when we had the last real E3 Expo – so get ready for some fireworks! The changes made will ensure that the 2009 E3 Expo conveys the best of what makes us proud as entertainment leaders.

Thunder's Kevin Durant out against Milwaukee Bucks

Strange bedfellows
by John Corvino
Originally printed 3/12/2009 (Issue 1711 - Between The Lines News)
<HEADER The Gay Moralist>
Recently I wrote about a proposed compromise by David Blankenhorn, who opposes gay marriage, and Jonathan Rauch, who supports it.
On the Blankenhorn/Rauch proposal, the federal government would recognize individual states' same-sex marriages or civil unions (under the name "civil unions") and grant them benefits, but only in states that provided religious-conscience exemptions, allowing religious organizations to deny married-student housing to gay spouses at a religious college, for example, or to refuse to rent out church property for gay-related family events.
The Blankenhorn/Rauch proposal has prompted much discussion, including a counter-proposal from Ryan Anderson and Sherif Girgis at the conservative Web site http://www.thepublicdiscourse.com.
Anderson and Girgis - who, unlike Rauch and Blankenhorn, come from the same side of the debate - reject the original proposal as granting "too much to revisionists and too little to traditionalists." As they see it, traditionalists don't merely seek to secure their own personal religious liberty, but to promote what they see as "a healthy culture of marriage understood as a public good."
They believe that the Blankenhorn/Rauch proposal undermines that public good, because "it treats same-sex unions (in fact, if not in name) as if they were marriages by making their legal recognition depend on the presumption that these relationships are or may be sexual. It thus enshrines a substantive, controversial principle that traditionalists could not endorse: namely, that there is no moral difference between the sexual communion of husband and wife and homosexual activity--or, therefore, between the relationships built on them."
Anderson and Girgis instead propose the following: "Revisionists would agree to oppose the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), thus ensuring that federal law retains the traditional definition of marriage as the union of husband and wife ...In return, traditionalists would agree to support federal civil unions offering most or all marital benefits." But these unions "would be available to any two adults who commit to sharing domestic responsibilities, whether or not their relationship is sexual," provided that they are "otherwise ineligible to marry each other."
In other words, there would be federal civil unions for gays - but also for other domestic pairs: elderly widowed sisters, for example, or bachelor roommates.
At first glance, their claim that Rauch and Blankenhorn base their proposal on "the presumption that these relationships are or may be sexual" seems strange. After all, Rauch and Blankenhorn never mention sex, and the state neither knows nor cares (nor checks) whether people are having sex once they're married or "civilly united."
On the other hand, people generally assume (with good reason) that marriages and civil unions are sexual, or more broadly romantic. Romantic pair-bonding seems to be a fundamental human desire - for straights and gays - and part of what marriage does is to acknowledge pair-bonds. It does so not because the government is sentimental about such things, but because it recognizes the important role such bonds have in the lives of individuals and the community.
Anderson and Girgis are correct that there are other important bonds in society, and we may well want to extend more legal recognition to them. There is no reason that two cohabitating spinsters shouldn't be granted mutual hospital visitation rights if they want them.
But the question remains whether we want to extend "most or all" federal marital benefits to any cohabitating couple otherwise ineligible to marry, as Anderson and Girgis propose.
And this question prompts additional ones: Why limit such recognition to couples? Mutually interdependent relationships don't only come in twos. Oddly, Anderson and Girgis seem to have more in common with radicals who seek to move "beyond marriage" than they do with anyone in the mainstream marriage debate.
Also, why limit such recognition to couples "otherwise ineligible to marry"? Can't an unrelated man and woman have an interdependent relationship that's not sexual/romantic?
Anderson and Girgis write that, "Our proposal would still meet the needs of same-sex partners - based not on sex (which is irrelevant to their relationship's social value), but on shared domestic responsibilities, which really can ground mutual obligations."
And there's the crux: Anderson and Girgis assume that sex has social value only when open to procreation. But that's just false, and most Americans know it. We acknowledge sexual/romantic relationships not merely because they might result in children, but also because of their special depth. Sex doesn't merely make babies; it creates intimacy - for gays and straights alike.
The problem is that Anderson and Girgis divide couplings into two crude categories: (1) married (or marriageable) heterosexuals, and (2) everyone else: committed gay couples, elderly sisters, cohabiting fly-fishing buddies, what have you. They then implausibly suggest that those in column two are all of equal social value.
As David Link writes at the Independent Gay Forum, "The authors of this proposal are quite honest that they find it impossible to view same-sex couples in the category of marriage. But if these are the two categories offered: aging sisters or married couples, I'm betting more Americans who don't already have an opinion, would view same-sex couples as more like the married couples than the sisters. With apologies to the traditionalists, the days when a majority of Americans simply closed their eyes to the loving - and sexual - relationships of same-sex couples are coming to an end."
