Some days all you want to cook is something simple and easy. Something that tastes good, but only takes you a few minutes to throw together. This is that recipe.
This is basically a one dish meal (if you don't count having to cook the pasta beforehand.) And there are only 5 ingredients, some even already prepped for you! Such as the pancetta, which you can buy already diced. And the greens, which are salad greens but are also wonderful cooked. And practically every market has fresh packaged pasta.
If you can't find pesto tortelonni, use a plain tortelonni or tortelinni. The only difference between tortelonni and tortelinni is size. Tortelonni are bigger.
This pasta would be just as good using only baby spinach, or even arugula. Try different variations until you find the one that you like the best.
Pesto Tortelonni with Pancetta and Greens
- 1 4 ounce package fresh pesto tortelloni
- 4 ounces diced pancetta
- 1 10 ounce package organic mixed baby kale, baby chard and baby spinach
- ½ cup Pinot Grigio wine
- 1 tablespoon cold butter, cut into pieces
- Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium high heat, cook the pancetta until crispy and cooked through. Remove the pancetta from the pan, set aside.
- Drain all but a tablespoon of fat from the pan.
- Add the greens, stirring often. Cook 1 - 2 minutes, until wilted.
- Add the wine, reserved tortelonni and pancetta. Cook for 3 - 4 minutes, or until the wine is almost completely evaporated.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter pieces.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Cooking time: 10 minute(s)

The content supplier has just released a series of records for 2328 service personnel who received facial plastic surgery at the hands of Dr Harold Gillies from 1917-1925, at the Queen's Hospital in Sidcup, Kent.
Detailed medical notes are not revealed, just a summary of who was treated, where, when and why. A typical example concerns a David Smith, a 33 year old pensioned off sergeant with the 2nd battalion of the Royal Sussex Regiment. The record states that he had a gunshot wound to his face, was wounded 30/9/1916, and gives regimental service number.

Ümit and his scorpion - 2nd episode
Our friend Ümit Kebapçı is supposed to be a malacologist, but whenever we are in the field he seems to spend more time collecting spiders, centipedes, scorpions and the like. A post from last summer featured him and a scorpion he had found.
During our last collecting trip together in Turkey a few weeks ago he found this large scorpion under a rock. He said it was an Iurus asiaticus.
It is amazing how much biodiversity was hidden under the rocks both in forests as well as exposed fields we visited in Turkey. We saw all sorts of arthropods, worms, snails, of course, and even a large frog. The latter will be the subject of a future post.

Cookie Rush - Healthy Cookies (Pic and Recipe) and My Sugar Addiction
Monday, February 25, 2013
Since I've started my diet I've been more lenient on my diet than I have on working out. I don't pig out every day, but I mainly focus on cutting back on butter and most junk food and I eat a portioned amount of my dinner whatever it may be. I don't eat chips or much chocolate and soda anyway since I'm allergic to caffeine (Yes, it sucks) so it hasn't been too hard.
However, I have been sneaking in a bit of sugar in the form of really terrible cereal or breaking up the occasional candy bar over 3-4 days. I don't live alone and the rest of the house loves junk food, so getting rid of it altogether isn't an option. I roll with it and try to keep temptations at bay the best I can. I've been losing an average of 2lbs a week even with the occasional controlled snack so I hadn't thought much of it.
I do know that the sugar and majorly empty calories are useless so I've been playing around with healthier "snack" options. Recently one of my favorite recipe sites Skinnytaste, featured a recipe for Healthy cookies made with bananas and oatmeal. I thought it would be a perfect sweet snack that would have nutrition as well.
Keeping it in mind, I made some for the season finale of Gold Rush the other night. It was an event, I do so love that show, and Realized I needed some snackage right away. Since the cookies were easy and quick I made those instead of grabbing pure sugar.
Heres the result.
"Gold Nugget Cookies" Renamed for the event. lol They kinda look like gold nuggets... you know since most gold isn't really yellow... right???? Close enough. The name made me happy. lol
The real title is Healthy Cookies; link below if you'd like. Making them as the recipe calls they have 93 calories and 3.5 g of fat per serving (Two cookies). My version with raisins instead of walnuts has 65 calories and 0.8 g of fat (One cookie since I made them larger.), according to sparkpeople's calculator.
As I said, I added raisins to mine and they turned out really tasty; after they cool off they do taste like banana bread. Sadly though, my first thought was "These would be perfect with brown sugar added." Which would defeat the purpose. That's the point in which I realized that I am hardcore addicted to sugar. I crave it all the time but figured an alternative would do just as well, turns out it doesn't. Now I get to decide what to do about it: continue having my controlled snacks or learn to love fruit instead. I have a feeling the latter will be victorious.
Although they didn't satisfy my sweet tooth they are amazing snacks. They taste better the longer they sit. I have some left today, so I ate one after taking my vitamin on an empty stomach and nearly getting sick. It was substantial enough to calm my stomach until my breakfast was finished cooking. Bet a "real" cookie couldn't do that.

I've been playing around with my recipes as well and have found that you can cut the sugar by up to half and still have a great cookie that is sweet!
I think controlled snacks are ok as long as it doesn't take the place of something healthy. In other words, make sure you're getting in your protein, calcium, etc and if you have extra calories available for the day or the week, then have a cookie. It has kept me from going hog wild and eating way too much. I have also been one to just kind of eat the whole thing at once, and I've really been focusing on nibbling. It is very hard, but worth the effort!!

I used uncooked quick oats as thats what the recipe calls for and that's what I generally keep, but I looked on skinnytaste for you and some comments mentioned that old fashioned oats work fine as well.
Someone also mentioned that they used peanut butter chips instead, to make peanut butter and banana cookies. I don't know how that'd balance out health wise but wow that sounds good! lol

Those sound sooooooo good and I would rather have raisins that walnuts any way. Did you use regular oats (which all I have) or quick quicking oats.

Is it somehow possible to block/abort unencrypted smtp connections with iptables?
effectively rejecting all connections which dont do a start tls.
Iptables is mostly designed to filter on the metadata of a network packet, such as IP headers, TCP options, and so forth. TLS is handled at the application level: you need to watch what happens inside the TCP stream.
You can inspect the contents of packets with the
What you're looking for here is an SMTP proxy that forwards TLS connections and blocks non-TLS connections. Iptable's contribution would be only to ensure that SMTP traffic does go through the proxy.
This is unavoidably tricky. The nature of TLS is such that a plaintext connection to your MTA has to be established before TLS can be negotiated, so iptables (operating as it does at the transport layer) is ill-designed to influence issues at the application layer.
You could write another target module and direct your traffic through that, but unless you're a networking God, this is probably no more feasible for you than it is for me. And I definitely don't know how to do it.
The upshot is that application-layer stuff is much easier to enforce inside the application. You don't say what MTA you're using, but I suspect that most MTAs that are bright enough to do TLS are bright enough to mandate it.
I use sendmail. There's a nice piece on mandating TLS from various providers at http://www.brandonhutchinson.com/Using_TLS_with_Sendmail.html , which directs me to the access database entry
which requires a particular communication partner, presumably identified by IP address, to both authenticate with a key of at least 112 bits length, and have a properly-signed certificate. The sendmail config page at http://www.sendmail.org/documentation/configurationReadme , in the ANTI-SPAM CONFIGURATION CONTROL section, says that access db entries involving IPv4 addresses can take the form of a single octet, which then apply to all addresses beginning with that octet. So I speculate, and I stress it's just speculation, that sendmail would allow me to have a series of entries
Mandating encryption (though not verifiably-signed certificates; self-signed TLS certs are very common, and I'd be inclined not to bar them) from all IP addresses. I would also not have an entry for
I repeat that I've not tested any of the above, and if your MTA is something other than sendmail, the above won't be specifically helpful; but I wanted to show that my MTA (at least) seems to have hooks for doing what you want. Good luck with your investigations.

What's Your Expiration Date Policy?
I make no secret of the fact that I don't like to waste things and I like to save money. That being said, sure sometimes I may play a little fast and loose with the dates on things.
First of all, there's a big difference between "Use By" and "Best By".
"Use By" is usually on things that are perishable – milk, eggs, etc. "Best By" is usually on things that have a longer shelf life, but may not be as great over time – dry pasta, soup mixes, etc.
But then there are those things that have a bit of a grey zone. Cheese, for example. I mean hey, there are some cheeses that are purposefully aged for months, or even years. So when it comes to things like that I usually go with the mold test and/or the sniff test…if it's moldy (and by that, I mean too moldy to cut off any ugly spots) or if it smells funky (and it's not supposed to, of course), it gets thrown out.
With those "Best By" products, I'll usually be pretty flexible. I mean look, if the date on the package is from three years ago, I'll chuck it. But if it's from three months ago, I might give it a whirl.
So what's your policy on package dates? Do you stick to the dates solidly or are you a little flexible depending on what it is? Comment below and let us know!

Update: Oprah Winfrey Network announced today a new multi-part documentary series following the life of Michael Sam, who made history when he became the first openly gay football player drafted into the NFL by the St. Louis Rams. --larrybrownsports.com
Michael Sam's decision to do a "documentary series" -- reality TV show -- on the Oprah Winfrey Network is a gigantic tactical error for Sam and his supporters within the LGBT community. --Jason Whitlock, ESPN.com
I knew it was coming the moment I saw the young man standing next to newly drafted St. Louis Rams player, Michael Sam. I kept thinking, "No, they wouldn't...not on national TV." But then it happened for all the world to see. They kissed. And ESPN kept repeating the footage of that kiss over and over again throughout the rest of the broadcast. I counted --- it replayed six times before I finally changed the channel. It's certainly not the first time, homosexuals have kissed on television but usually, it's written into a script as part of a scene in a movie or television series. In that context, it's considered art/entertainment, which makes it more acceptable to some, I guess [sic].
But not this time. It was for real. Perhaps, what made that kiss so outrageously shocking to some, and hilariously liberating to others was the fact that it happened during the NFL draft --- a testosterone infused event. That kiss was deliberate, in your face, and clearly intended to send a message. No doubt, there were and still are differing opinions on just what that message is. I've sampled some of those opinions. You can form your own.
At last count, two NFL players publicly expressed disapproval of the kiss, along with these other viewpoints:
Man U got little kids lookin at the draft. I can't believe ESPN even allowed that to happen. --former NY Giant, Derrick Ward via Twitter
OMG. Horrible. --Miami Dolphin player, Don Jones via Twitter
ESPN... You serious right now? --Case MCCoy, quarterback, Univ of Texas via Twitter
Michael Sam's big gay kiss will never be forgotten. That was the whole point. --Cyd Zeigler, writer
It's annoying that people can't say anything about the Michael Sam kiss without people pointing at them saying "homophobe." -- Robby Schultz
We've become so politically correct in this country that the country is going to hell. --Donald Trump, FOX News
It's surprising how few people are willing to speak publicly about how they really feel ---positively or negatively --- until they know the pulse of the rest country. The punitive slap on the wrist given to Miami Dolphins player Don Jones for exercising his free speech may be keeping others, especially in the NFL, from speaking out. Not commenting, one way or the other, seems safer. When America wakes up, this will not have been a dream. Whether fortunate or unfortunate, it's the new reality that will have a ripple effect on American society for years to come.
The cultural impact of Saturday's draft selection – and the kiss watched 'round the world – reaches into every corner of American society. No child will ever again grow up thinking that being gay in the National Football League is "impossible". That was the word people used as recently as Saturday morning. Getting naked in the showers with an openly gay man was supposed to be too much for the gladiators of the NFL, that bellwether of American masculinity. That has all changed. Being gay is normal now, for boys and girls who watch TV on Saturday afternoons, and maybe even some of their parents. --Cyd Zeigler, Guardian.com
Michael Sam may eventually come to wish that he hadn't chosen to make the biggest night of his life (I'm guessing) about him kissing another man rather than about his NFL selection. Okay, we know he can kiss. Now let's see if he can play football.
I was appalled by @ESPN showing @MikeSamFootball smearing cake on his boyfriend's face. Do you know how many hungry kids go 2 bed w/o cake? -- Comedien Wanda Sykes
Sadly, Ms. Sykes, the joke's on us. And more backlash is certain down the road.

Volleyball Announces 2014 Schedule, Including Pre-Ivy Tourneys, Home Dates
A trio of fairly local tournaments, a four-match home streak within Ivy League play and the annual Penn-Princeton thriller in Dillon Gym highlight the upcoming 2014 Princeton women's volleyball schedule, which was just announced by head coach Sabrina King.
While local fans will have to wait until October for their first chance to see Princeton in Dillon Gym, they won't need to travel much more than an hour to see any of their first 11 matches of the season.
Princeton will play in three tournaments before Ivy League play begins, including the season-opening Temple Invitational (Sept. 5-6, Pearson-McGonigle Hall). The Tigers will open their season at 12:30 pm on Friday, Sept. 5, against UNC-Charlotte, and will follow up with a 3:30 matchup against Holy Cross. The weekend concludes with a Saturday showdown against the host Owls (1 pm).
Princeton heads to Newark, Del., the following weekend for the Delaware Tournament (Sept. 12-13, Bob Carpenter Center). The Tigers will play Friday against both George Mason (11 am) and Delaware (7 pm), and will play Manhattan Saturday at 10 am.
The final tournament of the pre-Ivy League schedule takes place at nearby Rutgers (Sept. 19-20, College Ave. Gym) as Princeton will play four times. On Friday, the Tigers will take on both American (9:30 am) and James Madison (2:30 pm). The following day, Princeton will face both Akron (10 am) and Rutgers (5:30 pm).
The 11-match road odyssey concludes Sept. 26 at the Palestra in Philadelphia, where Princeton will take on Penn in the Ivy League opener (7 pm) for both teams. The Princeton-Penn rivalry has featured six five-set matches over the last eight meetings, including a 3-2 thriller that Princeton won in the 2013 Ivy opener.
Princeton will finally head to Dillon Gym for its home opener Oct. 3 when it takes on Cornell at 7 pm. That match starts a four-match homestand, which concludes with an Oct. 11 showdown against Ivy champion Yale (5 pm). Princeton's three other home matches will be Oct. 24, an Alumni Weekend showdown against Penn (7), and Nov. 7-8 matches against Harvard (7) and Dartmouth (5).
Princeton returns six of seven starters from last season, including former first-team All-Ivy honorees Cara Mattaliano and Kendall Peterkin.

A comment from Alabama track and field head coach Dan Waters on this weekend's competition:
"The Indiana Relays will be a good test for our team. It's our first road trip of the season and I am hoping our team will deal with it well. This is a large meet with a lot of competitors, so that will be different from our first two meets as well. I like the closeness of our team at this point. We have a lot of new people on our team; so much of the group is going through the same process together. We've improved over the first couple of meets and I hope to see more improvement this weekend."

How can I detect the 'steepness' of a curve? For example, if the user swipes their finger across the screen in a curve, what's the best way of detecting whether the curve is almost a semi-circle, or whether it's straight?
Is it also possible to extend this to possibly recognise multiple curves (e.g. a sigmoidal shape)?
Thanks for any advice

Using Source Control
So, although even here on stackoverflow are literally dozens things on version control, i can't find something nice to answer all my questions. If you have anything to say or post a link, please do it here.
1., Do I need to start with version control?
While most people agree, that even single developer/programmer should start with version control, nobody (or at least in understandable form) tells
2., How?
In my nature is that I need to know what means CVS, SVN, Tortoise, Git, GitHub and what are the differences, but I struggle to find some dead simple kick-start into world of version control.
As a developer/programmer, I worked or studied almost every programming/markup language, that is major (from pascal to java, from html to php :) ) and used dozens of editors, IDEs and programms. And when somebody mentions you can use source control even for writing stuff - homeworks for studens, annual reports, books... You have to include even more editors...
I have by now no clue how to start with version control, how to incorporate it in my workflow, if do I need server or what.
Thank you for any help in finding what is what and what to do with it :)
EDIT: From all your answers (thank you), I get the feeling it's really only something like "synced folders with history". (in the most obvious way :) ) If yes, can you answer two questions? (numbered 4. and 5., so it wont mix up in answers :) )
4., what if I decide to completely change structure of my program (for ex. in flex, i decide to use two as3 class instead for MXML components) - won't it make confusion?
5., From other questions, how ofted do I commit? (found this question posted and probably answered, lost it again however)
EDIT 2: Again, more answers (thank you)
6., My question 4 was more like if I accidentally (or not) renew some deleted files (which is probably possible), and it will break my program, because for example it depends on other deleted file, which was not undelete, will I be able to get it? :D
7., I see some ways I will look. Thank you for your answers... however, now I'm confused to whom should I give the "good answer", because you were all very helpful :)
Next, I will (for anyone looking for I was looking for and stumbling upon this question):
Read this stackoverflows:
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1113412/using-source-control
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/326429/what-version-control-system-is-most-trivial-to-set-up-and-use-for-toy-projects
Watch this video:
While understanding the basics from manuals, I narrowed it down to subversion(+TortoiseSVN) and git(hub), which are most used and most favorited. Only problem I now have with github is that private repository is paid, so I will either look fro different git solution or look more into Subversion.
Big thank you to everyone, I upvoted most helpful answers, also thank you for comments. Adam
Edit: Tried Mercurial, but found it not OK for my workflow... now trying subversion, so I marked oldest subversion answer :)

Den, you will find good advice here from people who are in very similar circumstances. It is a desperate situation and this group has really helped me come to a peaceful place with our estrangement from our son.
We do not have grandchildren, but I believe in this case you must always trust your gut instincts. Your son is a grown man and has made his choice, but your little grandaughter will need you and you should follow your heart on what is best. These adult 'children' need to grow up! But instead find it easier to just blame, blame, blame their parents for all that is wrong in their lives. I know you get great advice here. Take care, kathy

I am the father of a sociopathic son that is keeping my grand daughter away from me.Posted on 03/28/11, 11:35 am
Hi, I just found this site, and I need HELP.
I have a 36 year old son that is a sociopath, I have tried to deal with him all his life, he is heartless.
He brought my 4 year old grand daughter into my life, along with my grand daughters mother. About 14 months ago, my son, and the mother broke up and went their separate ways.
My son gave me the ultimatium, If I talk to my grand daughters mother, he will NOT talk to me. I can not turn my back on my grand daughters mother, that would be turning my back on my grand daughter, beings I very seldom seen my son, unless he wanted something.
Anyway, if anyone can give me some words of wisdom, or, are going through this themselves, I am despirit. Please help me understand. My heart is breaking.
And how do you accept not seeing your own child?
Any help would be appreicated.
I am not sure how I will get responses, and I am not the best at the computer, but my email address is email@example.com if I can not respond on this site, feel free to contact me through my email address.
Thank you in advance for any help to learn to live with this nightmare!

Hi Kathy, thank you for the kind words, this is an aweful way to grow old.
I am not sleeping at nights, and I have lost my appetite from all the problems and drama he has caused, and he would thrive to find out it is causing me such pain. You would think my son would have a little graditude for fathering him all him life??????? I was the first person in this world to hold him, they took him out and placed him in MY Hands!
Thank you again, and Good luck to you too. DennyMo
Reply #3 03/28/11 12:05pm
Denny; I can read that you are feeling desperate. Sometimes we answer our own questions...and, I am reading that you said 'he is a sociopath and I have been trying to deal with him all his life, he is heartless'.
That may be the answer to your question.
It seems you have two choices, by staying in touch with the mother, you get to see the grand daughters.
Or, you can stay in touch with him and continue the sociopath dance with him...which sounds miserable, and at a high cost to you.
Your interaction with your grand daughters, loving them, is a way of loving him...because he is too difficult to love right now.
Sometimes we just have to evaluate what best contributes to a 'higher ground' in living our lives, and where our best efforts can be used.
By the way, that was a threat he gave you...you don't need to allow him to treat you that way, no one should be treated that way.
Reply #4 03/28/11 12:16pm
Hi Kathy, thank you for you kind and caring words, they are welcomed.
I am feeling miserable, this has been going on for 14 months, I thought by now we could have cleared the air, but he has no feelings for others pain. He actually enjoys seeing others in pain, and has no remorse for causing pain. I do see my grand daughter through her mother, which may I ad, she is a wonderful mother, and has been a wonderful person, she just couldnt take his ways any longer, and moved to her parents basement with my grand daughter. I have a large house, I could have them move in with me, but I think that would just cause more problems, I dont want to see my beautiful grand daughter living in a BASEMENT!
I feel like puking from all of this. I am not the strongest person in the world emotionally. And the stress is really affecting me physically.
I do not want to be caught in my sons sociopathic ways, but how do you walk away from your own son. I know that is what I have to do.
He has never had any interest in any of my family (I have 14 siblings) but now this has happened, he is communicating with them, just to get the word back to me to hurt me. He has never had any interest in my family, but now he is USING them, to irritate me. Sick if you ask me.
Thanks Kathy, my most humble thank you, DennyMo

Unfortunately you go through all sorts of emotions when our kids do the wrong thing. The shock phase is when you just can't believe what they have done or how they have acted and sometimes I find myself right back in this bewilderment again..... My daughter cut us out of her life abruptly....there was no fight, no words, just quit answering her phone, emails, etc....after a couple mos of not hearing from her, my sister (her aunt) and me, her mom went and knocked on her door to see if she was missing essentially. She called the police on us and had then "inform" us that she wants NO CONTACT with us and if we try to contact her again, she will take out a restraining order. Not only did we lose her that night, but also our two adorable grandbabies, which were a huge part of our lives and we were very close to. Her father and I have been married almost 30 years, she is our oldest and she was adored also....she started to act bizarre a few mos prior to this, but we chalked it up to her having small children, being stressed, etc....
Since our hands are tied, and we have absolutely NO CONTROL over her or her actions......we are forced to find a way to LET HER GO.....and the grandbabies too. Now that I am getting stronger and that comes with time I think, I realize I do have a life even if she doesn't want to be in it.........and yes it is a deep SORROW especially losing the grandbabies...
This is my new "mantra" if you will.......I didn't teach her to behave this way. I have no control, she doesn't want to be part of our lives and we don't know why. It is not the way I want things, but it is what it is....and I am doing the only thing I can do which is move on and let go.......
But, it is a process.....slow and painful.... Hang in there, it gets better and there is light at the end of the tunnel....
One last word of "advice" if I were to give any would be, just for you to always "do the right thing" and then your conscience will be clear. I don't think I would do this warped dance with him. I would not be unkind to the grandchilds mother, just because he wants you to. You have to do the right thing--if anybody else doesn't like it, oh well..... but that's just me, my opinion and my 2 cents.... hope this is helpful to you...and welcome to the group.

Welcome Denny,
So sorry you have a reason to be on this site, but very glad you have found us. Most are in the same boat as you are, and we find our direction in this sea of estrangement from the strength of our members.
You will learn to live with not seeing your son because - you have to. I wish there was a better answer, but most of us are also dealing with no contact, some for 10 years! Mine is much newer, only about 7 months, but the handwriting is on the wall.
If your goal is to see your granddaughter, you stated it will be through her mother. Sounds like her mother is a great gal and can use all the help she can get. Your son has been threatening and as you said, he was never stable anyway; hence the divorce from his wife. If you feel comfortable offering your granddaughter and her mother a place to live, that is a lovely gesture. Your son is probably unavailable and is also causing problems with your family. It's pretty obvious that he is not operating from a place of mental health.
(sorry to all members who have read this before) Run, don't walk, to your library or bookstore and get the book "The Sociopath Next Door." You can also order from amazon.com if you do things over the Internet. It explains the working of the mind of a sociopath and how we are not at fault. They have no conscience and think all the rest of us - with a conscience - are laughable human beings. This book may help your DIL cope with the failure of this relationship. Sociopaths don't change, sad to say, so you must determine how to deal with that fact.
Good luck, Denny, keep reading this website for knowledge and strength.
Peace and hugs.

Den, our estrangement has been over 16 months now. Our son who had his father be his best man at his wedding, was the perfect child, we never even had a cross word from this child, so sweet and kind and thoughtful. He was the one we believed we could always count on no matter what. Ha! when he met one time with his dad this past year, he was mean, cruel, called him every name, then left saying 'Im done with you dude!" My husband took it, he is not the kind of man who would normally take that abuse, but he did. His heart is broken and so was mine. But we have decided as navigating said, to no longer participate in this 'dance'. We all have much to thankful for, we have to step out of this estrangement long enough to find you still have great worth to many! Do you have other children? Take care, Kathy
Reply #8 03/28/11 2:03pm
Kathy, I so identify with what you said about your son... we thought we could count on our daughter. It wasn't even on my radar that she could do such a thing. Had never heard of estrangement so when she didn't return calls and emails, we thought there must be something wrong, didn't even occur to us that she was ignoring us on purpose!! Never heard of adult kids doing such a thing before that so we were totally blindsided. I felt like I was in Nazi Germany or something when my daughter called the police on me---knowing full well we were there for HER sake.....like she wanted to hurt me, sorta thow me to the wolves--didn't care what would happen to me, hubby, my sister...the whole family really.
I feel so sorry for your hubby too.......can't imagine taking that kind of thing from this kid you have poured heart in soul into........ I have leared so much from being here, I know now I would never ever take any berating from her, but my daughter was a coward, and had the police do it, she lied to them and said we were "harrassing her" by being there and calling (ONCE A WEEK IS ALL WE DID)....
I loved what NAVIGATING said also, not going to do this "dance" with her.....I'm movin on......still working thru the grief and stress of it all..........really helps to keep telling my story over and over and getting it all it....thanks for reading it again and again......venting is my therapy and the only way I can cope with any of it. Thanks for letting me ramble.. hugs to you all...we don't deserve to be treated this way.....

Hi DennyMo, I don't have grandchildren (that I no of) so I'm not sure I can give you any advise. It must be heartbreaking for Grandparents whose EC's hold the grandkids as some kind of ransom to control their parents. I would explain to your son that he is only neglecting his child from your love and affection. Let him know you will miss seeing your GD and leave the ball in his court. I wouldn't give him the power to tell you who you can talk to your not. Good luck.
Reply #10 03/28/11 4:15pm
Hi DennyMo, Welcome to the group! We are all really sorry you are in this no win situation with your son. We all understand what that does to our hearts, bodies and spirits. Having dealt with your ES all these years you have probably already concluded that there isn't anything you can do to fix him. Even so, REMIND yourself of that often!!! Getting through estrangement is all about accepting the truth, as ugly as it gets, it is still the truth.
It doesn't really surprise me that ES has tried to "end around" you with your family that he previously ignored.
We see that alot here, Abusers first agenda is to isolate their victims from any support system they have.
This is what your son is attempting, and it is all about control and abuse. Some of your family may fall for
his lies and crocodile tears. You should probably be prepared for that, just another part of the "Dance".
Unfortunately these sociopaths can be very charming and are usually very smart, as in devious. I know from experience, we have a total sociopath for a DIL, and she alone has destroyed our family, both sons are estranged from us and each other because of her, and I know beyond a shadow of any doubt that she did everything on purpose, she too likes to hurt others, revels in their pain and confusion. Sick SIck Sick!
I suggest you stay as far away from him as you can, any reaction you show him will be twisted into something he will use to his advantage to strike out at you again and again. So Sorry, just being honest and speaking from personal experience.
If you have a good relationship with your ex-DIL, you have every right to support her in anyway you want to and are able. That is your decision to make, and ES can't take that from you. I think offering your home to her and your granddaughter is a very caring and responsible thing to do. I also think you know what ED will do next, and you will need to prepare ahead of time for his full fury. And I would also cautiion you that DIL may not be prepared to put herself in ES path again, so don't take it personal if she declines should you offer her a home.
It is wonderful that she will work with you and allow you to see granddaughter. That is a huge plus in your favor, one many of us here would love to have in our lives. I have not seen my 18 month old grandson in over a year now. I don't even feel like grandmother, as I was only allowed to see him and hold a few times after he was born. It is the one "unforgivable" cruelty for me. Other DIL will have to live with decision, and without any trust or bonds with me from now on. I value myself too much to allow her to use me or grandson like a crazy yoyo. Sometimes all we can do is walk away with as much dignity and grace as we can muster.
I see everyone has chimed in, and you have gotten lots of great advice and support. We are all about taking care of each, and we are glad you are here with us now. No one should have to go through this alone.
Sorry so long again, got on a roll.....Hugs to everyone D.

Energy Drinks Might Kill You, Unless You Listen to Red Bull & Rockstar Proponents
Energy drinks like Red Bull and Monster won't just make your kid hyper, but a new study out by the University Of Miami School Of Medicine says energy drinks may "put some children at risk for adverse health events, especially those with diabetes, seizures, cardiac abnormalities or mood and behavior disorders." The study also goes on to say that the drinks can cause seizures or even death if used excessively.
Energy drinks have no therapeutic benefit to children, or any person for that matter, and many people over-do stimulant beverages to stay awake, pull an all-nighter while studying or partying, or just to give them some sort of hopeless energy to get through the day. The sugar content, as well as stimulants added such as caffeine and guarana, are linked to numerous health problems, though if you choose to listen to Dr. Maureen Storey, senior vice president of science policy for the American Beverage Association, you may think this is all a bunch of bull (no relationship to Red Bull).
Who is Dr. Maureen Storey? Well, I personally had field-day learning about her after reading the recent UM report and her position on the matter with regards to our ABA. Maureen has worked for Kellogg Company where she worked on nutrition research and marketing. I can't prove it, but I have strong feelings that she was in close with Tony the Tiger.
Maureen is also a strong proponent of high fructose corn syrup. Her quote – "I hope that our research helps dispel the urban myths that have gained momentum about high-fructose corn syrup." She along with many powerful organizations have strong ties to our corn production. They know HFCS is linked to many health problems, from obesity to diabetes to even cancers, and they're trying to change the name to "corn sugar" so we all feel just a little bit better about it.
How about another great Dr. Storey quote? In regards to a study linking sugar and soda to obesity she says, "Portion sizes have expanded dramatically and it is simply wrong to blame increases in obesity on food or beverages that contain carbohydrates." Right, excess carbohydrates especially all the sugar people are consuming have no relationship, despite countless studies and anthropological evidence.
And the best for last as Maureen thinks that if you want to stay hydrated, then yes, water is the way to go, but why not get it in a tasty sweetened beverage? She says, "Soda is comprised mostly of water. A full-calorie soft drink has 90 percent water, and a diet soft drink is 99 percent water. Water is the most important nutrient that we have…" Further, "Of nutritional value, there is either high-fructose corn syrup or sucrose, and that does provide energy or carbohydrates. And if we are active and need a refreshing beverage after a nice, long walk or a run, you can have a beverage and quench your thirst and stay hydrated." And then when she was asked if she was advocating a person consuming a whopping 22-34 grams of sugar in a beverage her response was, "Well, I don't think it's nutritionally unsound. There are some studies that show that particularly with children, children who have been exercising may not drink enough water to get back to the hydration point that they need to be at. So with a little bit of flavoring and a little bit of sweetness, they will drink enough, then, to get back to where they need to be." Her video at the ABA can been seen here – she likes "beverages" for hydration since hey, they've got water in them.
Dr. Storey, you get the Dr. Gangemi "What Are You Thinking?" award. Congratulations. Are you on Cocaine? And by that I mean Cocaine the energy drink, of course.

The sad news is that there are many uneducated people who would believe Dr. Storey because of her position in nutrition research. I'd be interested to know if she has children. If she does, I'd love to be a fly on her wall after they've had their recommended amount of "water" for the day.

I would like to know how you feel about the 5 hour energy drinks. They claim to be all natural?
thank you
Ilove_redBull permalink
RedBull may not be the best beverage to consume, especially as a substitute for a glass of water, however it won't kill you IF it's consumed in MODERATION. (a lot of foods/beverage can be harmful in moderation) Of course it could cause harmful health effects if you drink too much, it's sugar, caffeine, plus other stimulants. And yes, it can contribute to obesity and diabetes because of it's high calorie and sugar content. However, this isn't the problem. The problem is that people can't balance their daily calorie intakes with how much they burn. Go exercise and stop complaining.

She is right about high fructose corn syrup. It is not any worse than natural sugar or any other sugar. Also sugar does not cause obesity. It is "linked" to obesity and may affect blood pressure in certain sensitive individuals. In no way does sugar make people fat. That is bull. Obesity is cause by consuming calories than one needs a day. Something like 3500 calories is equal to one pound of fat. If one limits calorie intake, they simply will not get obese. That is the cause. People eat too many calories. This article is a load of crap because it states untrue facts when the Dr. Storey is right on some matters. I am by far not an advocate of energy drinks at all. They are not good for you. This article however is the wrong way to go about bringing down energy drinks. People need to consume the right amount of calories for their body per day. How they do that can be however they choose, but it is preferred to eat a healthy diet obviously.

This stuff is poison. High fructose corn syrup is genetically modified corn, that is juiced with round-up, and many other pesticides, fertilizers that should never be in our diet. And yet, 90-95 percent of the stuff we eat contains it.
Refined sugar contains Carbon from boiled animal bones. Oh joy.
Goodluck in your ventures Drgangemi, I hope you get through to someone oneday.

Great points! I also appreciate the fact that this site is not dogmatic. I might drink a redbull at mile 40 of a 50 mile race. That's not the same thing as someone drinking three redbulls Monday morning to be able to get themselves to their desk job. All this health and nutrition info needs to be taken in context and Sock Doc is one of the few people out there that educates while adding the context.

HFCS IS a big problem, contrary to what Dr. Storey or John says. It messes up your liver, causing Fatty Liver Disease, unwanted fat deposition, higher weight gain than with sucrose, and messes with leptin and ghrelin levels, so you eat more and are hungrier more often, and promotes metabolic disease (pre-diabetes). The studies are out there, go look.

It seems the IRS has been doing much more than just targeting conservative groups seeking a tax-exempt status. According to a report published Tuesday at the Wall Street Journal, 100 percent of 501(c)(4) groups audited by the IRS were established conservative organizations, said House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich.
"We now know that the IRS targeted not only right-leaning applicants, but also right-leaning groups that were already operating as 501(c)(4)s," he said in his opening statement.
"At Washington, DC's direction, dozens of groups operating as 501(c)(4)s were flagged for IRS surveillance, including monitoring of the groups' activities, websites and any other publicly available information. Of these groups, 83% were right-leaning. And of the groups the IRS selected for audit, 100% were right-leaning," he added.
House Democrats pushed back, claiming Republicans are trying to use the IRS scandal as a wedge issue in the upcoming elections.
"Instead of this prestigious committee using its broad jurisdiction to address critical issues that confront us, it has been consumed by a tireless effort by Republicans to find political scandal, regardless of what the truth holds, as they look toward the November election," Rep. Sander Levin, D-Mich., said.
Camp touted the "STOP Targeting of Political Beliefs by the IRS Act," which he said would prevent the Obama administration from legally silencing conservative organizations using IRS regulations for a one-year period.
He also said the committee made its discovery without having what he called "the full universe of documents requested from the IRS," including thousands of documents from Lois Lerner that have not been provided.
"Simply put, our investigation is not yet over, the document collection is not yet complete, and I don't believe the IRS or the FBI has interviewed a single victim. The notion that the Administration would rush forward with rules intended to remove these groups from the public forum, is simply unacceptable," he added.
According to the proposed IRS rules, 501(c)(4) groups would not be allowed to hold candidate forums, participate in get out the vote efforts, nor conduct voter registration.
"These rules are a blatant attempt to legalize and institutionalize targeting by the IRS, and are designed to put conservative groups out of business. It is no wonder the IRS tried to develop this rule behind closed doors and out of the public's view. This legislation will put a hold on these proposed rules until Congress completes its investigation into the IRS's abuses," Camp added.
According to the IRS, the proposed rules have received more than 23,000 comments from the public.
The bill passed the committee with a 23-13 vote.

(Part 2 of 4)
Game-hatin' attorney Jack Thompson went verbally medieval on GamePolitics in an interview with the obscure PopZart site last week.
In my third year of running GamePolitics, I've grown accustomed to Thompson's criticism, but this attack was remarkably personal in nature, so I feel called upon to respond. Part one of my riposte may be found here. Part two follows:
JT: the worst example of [a game industry stooge] is GamePolitics and its owner Dennis McCauley. McCauley is now an operative for Hal Halpin's ECA, so the curtain behind which this Wizard of Odd, Mr. McCauley, has been rent asunder. McCauley has pretended, mightily, to be a journalist. He is not. He does put out a lot of information, some of it correct, about what is going on in the gaming world and industry. I commend him for that. He does a better job than most.
GP: Interesting… In a single paragraph, Thompson pegs me as both "the worst example" and doing "a better job than most." Go figure… As for being an "operative," gee, it sounds so very Splinter Cell-ish…
As far as the ECA goes, I think GP readers already know that the Entertainment Consumers Association (ECA) is NOT a game industry organization, despite Thompson's efforts to paint it that way. The ECA receives zero funding from the game industry, and wouldn't accept game industry money if it was offered. Hal Halpin has been very clear about that. Membership fees paid by gamer-members drive the ECA. Personally, I've always made it very clear that I have no connection to the industry. My record reinforces it.
To put it bluntly, I've pissed off a number of people in the game business over the years – Take Two people, ESRB people, ESA people, and more. I'm kind of proud of that fact, actually. As a journalist, when you're simultaneously angering Jack Thompson and Paul Eibeler, you know you're playing it right down the middle.
What's more, even a cursory glance at GamePolitics illustrates that Thompson's comments are dead wrong. In the past few weeks alone we've been all over Microsoft concerning the Xbox 360 red rings issue because A.) they deserve it and B.) it's an issue that's very important to game consumers. At other times we've taken Sony to task when they tried to bully Kotaku. We ripped inept former Take Two CEO Paul Eibeler on a regular basis. It's all in the GP record.
Oh, and don't forget that GP made its journalistic bones by breaking the Hot Coffee story in 2005. That little episode cost T2 close to $30 million and still reverberates through the business. Our person of the year for 2005 was Leland Yee, architect of the California video game law – not because we thought the law was a good idea, but because Yee was so skillful in maneuvering it to passage. By the way, can you guess which publicity hound complained about not being selected?
So, GP as a game industry stooge? I don't think so. We're after the truth here, wherever it leads us.
JT: McCauley gets money from the very industry that he is supposedly "fairly" reporting about. Look at his ads. Look at his now formal ECA affiliation. I get money, by the way, from nobody, nor have I ever accepted any in my twenty years of fighting the entertainment industry's marketing and sale of adult entertainment to children. I'm clean. These sites are not.
GP: What money from the video game industry? I work for the ECA. Once again, and I'll say it slowly this time, Jack. The ECA is a consumer group. We fight for gamers.
Ads? What ads? Prior to the ECA acquisition we had small Amazon and Commission Junction affiliate ads for things like games, books, DVDs and T-shirts. I personally selected and posted the ads. Never – as in not ever – did we have an ad paid for by a video game company.
Currently there are some issue-oriented banners – but nothing to buy – on the front page of GP that I picked myself because they are relevant to what we cover. We've also got links to every major – and several minor – video game watchdog organizations on the front page. My goal with GamePolitics is to be a comprehensive, one-stop shopping resource for information related to the politics of video games whether you're a gamer, a game company executive, a political staffer or an activist.
On the other hand, may I ask, Jack, how much you expect to receive from your video game debate tour? $3,000 per appearance, wasn't it? May I ask how much your combined lawsuits against the video game industry in Alabama and New Mexico are seeking? $1.2 billion, isn't it? That works out to a pretty hefty legal fee…
GP: Thompson's attack on GamePolitics was extensive. So is our reply. Look for Part 3 soon…

Once upon a time, Angelin Preljocaj's world-renowned dance company staged an incredible adaptation of Snow White. Actually, it happened earlier this month (May 2-4) when Ballet Preljocaj debuted the Brothers Grimm classic in Chicago at the Harris Theater for Music and Dance.
Since this was one of only three stops on the company's U.S. tour (New York's Lincoln Center and the Los Angeles Music Center were the others), Chicagoans were fortunate to witness France's leading contemporary dance ensemble in action—and in costumes by Haute Couture designer Jean Paul Gaultier.
Artistic Director and Bessie Award-winner Angelin Preljocaj provided the extraordinary choreography that challenged various troupe members to dance in stilettos, perform both vertically and horizontally on the floor, move in mid-air and literally climb the walls of the seemingly simple yet majestically epic sets by Thierry Leproust which included an interactive gold-framed mirror that allowed the dancers to became one with the set (make that two with their reflection).
Following the charming cameo performance of Young Snow White (student of the Joffrey Academy of Dance Anna Conroy), the fully-grown albeit petite yet powerful Émilie Lalande took center stage as the title character. Successfully masking her undeniable athleticism with a fragile physicality, Lalande artistically relayed wonder, romance, fear, fight and compassion through her exquisite movements.
Seemingly weightless and docile, she made the ideal foil to the Queen (Anna Tatarova/Cecilia Torres Morillo) who boldly dominated the program with her stunning looks, strategic kicks and expressive antics while Snow White's Mother (Gaëlle Chappaz/Lea De Natale) provided a gracefully poetic yet equally dark touch to the story.
Adding to the Goth tone were the symphonies of Gustav Mahler, skillfully selected to punctuate the excellent performances of every dancer including the Prince (Jean-Charles Jousni), King (Sergi Amoros Aparicio/Julien Thibault) and Cats/Gargoyles (Caroline Jaubert, Margaux Coucharrière, Wilma Puentes Linares, Aude Miyagi).
"We're proud to bring this highly innovative performance to Chicago for the first time," notes Harris Theater President and Managing Director Michael Tiknis. "Snow White combines singular classicism with the excitement of a modern day thriller. This is a ballet unlike any other, a visceral mix of style and story with broad appeal—from the athletic choreography to the fashion-forward costumes of Jean Paul Gaultier."
Indeed, this premier premiere proved a finely-crafted fairy tale can be even more magical on stage than on the page.

Last year we saw Chloe Moretz break bones in Kick-Ass 2, and burn down an entire neighborhood in Carrie, but for her next film the battle she'll face will be an emotional one. Moretz is starring in If I Stay, an adaptation of Gayle Forman's young adult novel and one of the few that isn't a trilogy set in a post-apocalyptic future.
Directed by RJ Cutler from a Shauna Cross (Whip It) script, the film centers on Mia, a cello prodigy with a bright future ahead of her. She's got a hot new boyfriend in Adam, an indie rocker every girl in town wants; but just as she's being forced to decide between her relationship and her music, a car accident puts her into a coma. Having an out-of-body experience, Mia is forced to decide whether to fight on and make the hard choices ahead of her, or give up and pass on from this life.
Co-starring Mirielle Enos and Jamie Blackley, If I Stay opens August 22nd.

Associated Press
John Benjamin Hickey plays Frank Winter in a scene from WGN's TV series "Manhattan." The show debuts Sunday night. The drama is set in a makeshift, desolate New Mexico desert community, one of several that sprang up as part of the Manhattan Project aiming to beat Nazi Germany to the bomb.
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Writer-producer Sam Shaw was grappling with how to craft a TV drama about the war on terror and the price it exacts from those who keep its secrets.
He found the answer by looking back to the early 1940s, when U.S. scientists and others working in isolation created the first atomic bombs without the knowledge of Congress, the vice president or the American public.
The result is "Manhattan," debuting Sunday (9 p.m. EDT) on cable channel WGN America. The drama is set in a makeshift, desolate Southwestern desert community, one of several that sprang up as part of the Manhattan Project aiming to beat Nazi Germany to the bomb.
"I wound up shelving the modern idea, in part because it's really difficult to write about history in the making with any kind of objectivity and moral clarity," Shaw said.
But his research showed him that the birth of the atomic bomb was "the birth of a huge number of issues and problems ... we're still trying to parse 70 years later."
Among the questions "Manhattan" raises: to what extent do we trust our leaders, and how much freedom and privacy are we willing to surrender to protect the nation and its ideals, including those primary ones?
Thomas Schlamme ("The West Wing") is an executive producer and directed the pilot. The cast includes John Benjamin Hickey ("Transformers," ''The Good Wife"), Rachel Brosnahan ("House of Cards"), Ashley Zukerman ("Terra Nova," ''Rush") and Olivia Williams ("Rushmore").
The World War II-era drama is the second original series for WGN America, part of its initiative to expand beyond Chicago sports and broadcast network reruns. It follows last spring's debut of "Salem," set in the 17th-century witch-obsessed village.
"Manhattan" fulfills WGN America's goal of entertaining viewers while taking them to "a time and place, with a palpable sense of what it was like to live in that moment," said Matt Cherniss, president and general manager.
The scientists who were gathered by President Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration in Los Alamos, New Mexico, were the best and the brightest, Shaw said. They became part of a very young settlement, with the average age of Manhattan Project workers there about 25, he said.
Families, the military and locals are part of the combustible mix in "Manhattan."
The real scientists were fervently dedicated to the cause, even if some later came to regret the deadly force they helped unleash, Shaw said.
"Almost everyone there was completely convinced that if they didn't get there first, (German) atomic bombs would rain down on the cities of Europe and America, as well," he said.
Shaw came to "Manhattan" from Showtime's very different "Masters of Sex," on which he was a writer until he got the greenlight for his own series.
"I don't know how I traded sex and nudity for nuclear apocalypse," he said, jokingly. But he noted that life isn't entirely staid for the characters of "Manhattan," despite the dark mushroom cloud in their future.
"All those physicists had a lot of steam to blow off, so there was a fair amount of misbehavior. ... It's part of the human dimension of what it was like to live in this place," he said.

You are here: Home / Publications / TB: Technical Bulletin / Cross-Commodity Analysis of China's Grain Sector: Sources of Growth and Supply Response
Stay Connected
Technical Bulletin No. (TB-1884) 24 pp, June 2000
Cover image We investigate sources of output growth and supply response in rice, wheat, corn, and soybeans, the four most important crops in China's grain sector, during 1978-97. Using a growth accounting methodology, we found large total factor productivity (TFP) contributions to growth in grain production immediately following China's rural economic reform (1978-85). In 1995-97, the TFP contribution dropped to only 16 percent of growth in grain production, as greater use of inputs increasingly drove growth. In the supply response analysis, the results of the econometrically estimated restricted profit function confirm a joint and nonseparable multiproduct technology for China's grain sector. Complementarity prevails in the grain sector among different outputs and inputs, meaning that an increase in the price of intermediate inputs/capital or wages would result not only in an absolute reduction in all outputs but also in a change in the composition of these outputs. The expansion (or scale) effects subsided during 1986-97, implying a relatively slow outward shift of the production frontier during this period. If the current government policy environment remains unchanged, China's grain production will become more costly, constraining its future growth and competitiveness in world markets.
Keywords: China agriculture, growth accounting, total factor productivity (TFP), multiproduct supply response

Jennifer Nettles is Sugarland's sexy singer who is debuting her new solo album, That Girl, and has currently been on tour. Jennifer is fun, unique, and incredibly talented. She speaks with Redbook about everything that has been going on in her life lately.
Redbook: "Your first solo single, "That Girl," has a '70s vibe to it. Did you deliberately set out to be different?"
Jennifer Nettles: "I wanted to do something that felt different, and consequently inspiring, to me. In some ways, it's starting over."
Redbook: "Do you have jitters about that?"
Jennifer Nettles: "I'm ambitious. I do care about success. But I also want the fans to like it because I love it."
Redbook: "A solo album, a new baby...what's left to change in your life?"
Jennifer Nettles: "My home in Nashville is a sweet little cottage, but we've outgrown it with the baby. The living room has a couch, a chair, and a Pack'n Play and there's no other crawling room; there's nothing. So I figured, why not have a baby, put out a solo album, and build a new house all in the same year? What could possibly go wrong?" [Laughs]
RB: "Speaking of moving out of your comfort zone: Sugarland! What's the word? Is it over?"
JN: "We're not broken up. This project is something I've been wanting to do for several years, and Kristian (her Sugarland band mate) and I have been in communication about that from the beginning, because we're supportive of each other. I wanted to show my fans a more intimate side of me. It's going to be a healthy time for both of us to explore things separately from each other, and I think when we come back together, we'll have much more to offer. We'll be reinvigorated."
RB: "You have a blog on your website and you're on Twitter. The comments on your feed are overwhelmingly positive, but do you ever get tripped up on something that's not just critical, but nasty?"
JN: "If there is something negative-which is not very often, thankfully-what I do is, I go to those people's profiles and I look at their picture and I get all junior high about it. I make fun to myself, or sometimes with whomever might be in the room. I read their other tweets and I can see how ignorant they are, and I say "Okay, they're an idiot." So that's basically what I do. It helps me. What makes me so upset, though, is I don't understand that kind of mentality. I follow some people on Twitter and read some of their feeds-for example, I love Pink, and people can be super-mean and write, "Die. Why don't you kill yourself?" Which should be illegal, frankly. Now, granted, Pink has millions of followers, I do not. But it's still bullying-it's just online. People think, Oh, they should be impervious, they put themselves out there in public. But we're not impervious; we're human beings. So if I read something bad about Pink, I'll go to those people's profiles and make fun of them, too, in defense of people I love."
RB: "Pink will be moved."
JN: "Pink, if you're listening, I hope you're touched by how I defend you."
RB: "Does the scrutiny of the public eye ever get to you:?"
JN: "I've always been driven, so I'm way more critical of myself than anyone else. I think being in the public eye has probably exacerbated that."
RB: "How so?"
JN: "Perfectionism is really a challenge for me, and it causes me to be super-critical of myself in so many ways: about body image, constantly; about parenting; about being a mother. For me, it's my most important job ever, so I don't want to mess it up. And yet, there's no perfect way to do it! You know? It's important to have an examined life-but it's a fine line between having an examined life and being hypercritical of oneself. There has to be a balance in there somewhere. I haven't found it. When I do, I'll let you know."
RB: "I heard you love a quote that your friend Miranda Lambert tweeted that said, "Knowing what you want doesn't make you a bitch." Expand on that, please."
JN: "You know what? I think many times, we are so challenged as women to be everything, and do everything, and make it look easy. And to speak our minds, but not be bitchy. All these things are, quite frankly, impossible to achieve. So knowing what we want-no, it doesn't make us a bitch. It makes us know what we want, plain and simple."
RB: "The country music community seems so close. Who are you tight with?"
JN: "I enjoy Miranda very much. Also Carrie Underwood, and Kelly Clarkson, who is able to float into the country world and is always super-welcome there. She and I had a whole lot of fun on [the singing competition show] Duets, and whenever I see her, it's fun to catch up. It's nice to have other women especially who you feel support you."
Jennifer Nettles is a proud mom, a supportive friend, and stands up to bullies for people she loves. Jennifer is someone who is inspiring to her fans everywhere.

If the cell phone is brought into class or is in the possession of the student, it will be confiscated and is only available for pick-up by a parent or guardian.
