DHA supplements?
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
My childs therapist recommended a fish oil supplement with DHA. Is anyone else using one? He recommended the chewable soft gels. Someone else told me the liquid would be more effective but I cant find any liquid with a good flavor. Have any of you tried the Nordic Naturals DHA softgels? The therapist says he's seen good results with children with hyperactivity and behavior problems. Just wondering if any of you are using this type of supplement and if you have seen any results.
Also when I asked a friend about this she said she went to Jenny McCarthy's website and input what her child's symptoms were and they sent her the supplements for those particular symptoms. The only site she had that I knew of is the tacanow.org site and I couldn't find anything like that there. So you guys have any clue what she could have been talking about?
My child's pediatrician doesn't recommend anything other than a regular multivitamin and I don't know what is good for what. His therapist says he needs calcium and magnesium and the DHA. So I'm just confused. He stays constipated and he has a very self-restricted diet so I worry about his nutrition already.

the only supplement my daughter takes is the gummy type children multivitamins....I know they make some liquid fishoils that come fruit flavored but I have heard they don't taste very good but I could probably get my child to take them with the promise of a pudding cup/yogurt after
that might help with the calcium issue you have also....

Hi kimberly,
My daughters diet has been about half of what helps her. She is on a lot of different things. You can get DHA soft gels from Kirkman labs. 1-800-245-8282
www.kirkmanlabs.com It looks like a bottle runs around $20. We use several things from them. They have a huge selection of things that are for people with autism. I feel like the price is good and the people are nice when you call. Everything comes in about two days and they always send fee samples.
Did your pediatrician recommend fish oil because of the omega-3 ? If so you can sub flax seed oil. it is just as good and its easy to hide in food. It tastes a bit like a nut oil. Pretty good on salad. One other thing you should know is that most fish and fish oil have mercury in them. So if you are at all worried about heavy metals in your childs diet it may not be the best choice for you.
Flax will help with constipation also. Also a way to get magnesium is to put epsom salts in the bath tub and soak in it. Because it is magnesium sulfate you body absorbes only what it needs throuth the skin. A half a cup in the tub should do it.
I just looked and kirkman sells calcium as a powder and as a liquid. again $20 and $18 for 16oz.
I hope you finde what works for you. I know how hard it is. It seems like every one says something different. I believe as the mother of an angel you will be able to feel if it's good for your family. Go with your feelings. I'm here for you.

My 3.75 year old like 2 kinds of DHA/Omegas. Both are from a Health Food Store. The links just show the item, not where I buy it. Magnesium is good for constipation.
KAL Dinosaurs DinoEFA - a SweetTart type chewable
Baleans's Kid's Omega Burst - a Starburts type chew
We also tried Ionic Fizz - KoolAid type drink mix, they have magnesium & calcium formulas

Thanks for all the advice guys! I think the reason for the fish oil was the DHA. He said the DHA may help with the behavior issues. Sometimes its really difficult to get his attention. He has a hard time following directions, especially oral. I have looked online at Kirkmans before but everything I saw sounded like something he needed. I didnt want to over-supplement (if that is possible?) But I just wisj I knew what he really needs so that I dont give him a bunch of stuff he doesnt need.

The Omegas sure did help attention with my little guy. After he started taking them he noticed I was leaving him at school. That took 2 weeks to get over but the extra concentration was worth the crying.
The thing to remember with supplements is not to overdo ..Vitamin A.. or the other fat soluble vitamins. You body make vitamin A from BetaCarotene but BetaCarotene is not toxic, so it doesn�t count. Twice the RDA of Vitamin A is a bad idea, but that means a 4 year old can still have 7 GummyVites (182% of RDA) OR 6 GumiVites & a Flinstones.
You know you�ve given more than enough B-Complex when the urine turns vivid yellow. This is not harmful, just a side effect of too much of a water soluble vitamin. B�s have been key to language retention in my son.
Safe Upper Limits of Vitamins
Parent Ratings of different Biomedical Interventions
are good places to start.

I have my son on Nordic Naturals cod liver oil. The strawberry flavor isn't bad, but what kind of oil is going to taste good? I was just at the Autism One conference, and I talked to people from Nordic Naturals, and they sai they just rolled out a spiced apple flavor of oil. They said it tastes real "cinnamony".
Kirkman labs does put out a great product. I'm going to put my son on Super NuThera. It's an excellent multivitamin and has high levels of magnesium and B6. I'm not sure if you have your child on a gfcf diet, but if you do, be careful about multivitamins, especially ones readily available in most stores. Many have "fine print" ingredients that would infringe upon that diet. Good luck!

Again I have to agree with Michaux... my son will only take gummy vitamins, I tried the strawberry DHA oil too, and my son just looked at me and started to laugh like "yeah right" and pushed my hand away.

I just started my son on Children's DHA Cod Liver Oil by evenbetternow.com. Check out this website, it's very helpful. AND- these products taste great! The DHA Cod Liver Oil tastes like strawberry, I think your child will like it.

I forgot to mention, the DHA Cod Liver Oil is also in liquid form!

I see that these posts were from a year ago, but for the benifit of those who are still looking for answers:
On 5/1/09 Shaklee released a new line of products specifically designed for kids and babies. Included is an orage chew that includes 100 mg of ultra-pure DHA. (Also a great multi) As with everthing they offer, it is totally natural. Their Omega-3 oils is so pure it is pharmecutical grade. My 4-yr old loves it. I sell it - www.shaklee.net/mikeGrubic

Electrical Technical Information Discussion, 1998 Concours huge electrical problem. in Item Specific Cadillac Discussion; Hello I am new to the board but I hope I can get some help. I have been scrolling through ...

1998 Concours huge electrical problem.
Hello I am new to the board but I hope I can get some help. I have been scrolling through various pages on this forum trying to find answers for my problem I recently have. I was hooking up subs and an amp to my factory deck and everything was going well. I needed to find a wire to connect my remote wire so I decided I would find just cut the plug off of the disc changer and use a hot wire from that so I can turn my car on and off and my amp will shut down with it.
Now im not sure if that caused the damage or not because I had also accidentally touched the power and ground which made some sparks but when I got in my car nothing no longer worked. I have no cooling fans running on my engine, no heater blower, no headlights, no power locks, and everytime I turn the car on and off the factory radio resets itself. It also take about 10-20 second to come on after I hit some buttons to egg it on. Th climate controls appear for a very broef moment at startup then they disappear to two lines. My automatic trunk latch will not release along with the gas cover. I have ran through all the fuses and they all seem to check out so I am hoping someone else might have some input or Ideas will be greatly appreciated.
I should also add the gas gauge along with the Interior lamps dont work either
Re: 1998 deville concours huge electrical problem.
I just tried to start it....and nothing. Im thinking a new battery?
Re: 1998 deville concours huge electrical problem.
Either a battery and/or you have activated the TheftLock system: The original HU and wiring is part of it AND the car's serial data bus. If that's screwed up you're in deep diagnostic doo-doo.
Re: 1998 deville concours huge electrical problem.
How can I be sure if its screwed up? The factory head unit is working just fine.
If it is the theftlock system wouldnt I be able to just reset it?
Re: 1998 deville concours huge electrical problem.
This is a long shot - Disconnect the battery and leave it so for a half hour. After some time, touch the two battery cables together - not with the battery connected - just the cable terminals. Hook it up and pray.
No good ?? Use the proper car, year, model section of the sticky post ^^^ "How to pull codes" to try and pull any diagnostic codes from the car's built-in scanner system. (If you get no displays, I'm out of ideas ................ other than find a buddy with a GM scanner.)
First thing I would do is what Sub said, while you're at it undo what ever wiring you did. You very well may have tapped into the wrong wire(s). Oh and pray it works cause sounds like have made the electrical gods mad....

Anyone here playing Scrolls (new game from Mojang)?
I was in the Alpha testing, so have a beta account already and am getting back into it. Be interesting to bat some ideas about with other TOGers.

Picked Order as my primary deck (I seem to have a knack of picking the hard option...) and having a bit of success.
Energy decks just roll me at the moment, so have to see what I can do about that.

Been having some better success with my Order deck now I've got some better cards. Still not exactly where I want it to be tho.
Main problems are in longer games when Energy and Growth get a roll on. Just can't keep the units on the field long enough.
Either have to speed up and kill the game earlier or look at ways to limit damage.

Energy can take a long time to build up to anything, but with a wall of structures up it can be hard to do anything against.
Spells like Iron Whip, Burn and Spark will help you target enemy units wherever they are. There are some low cost automatons that can be a real headache as well.
The game does take a lot of thought. Even once you have a deck you're happy with, knowing when and how to sac cards can turn a game completely. Plus there's also the joy of having a really crappy draw to begin with that can completely end you before you've even started...
Play some of the trials. Even if you don't win, you can pick up some good ideas from the ai's tactics. There's one trial called "destruction from above" or something like that - it's the last Easy one. The ai plays an energy deck and I cannot for the life of me beat it.
It does already have 3 catapults of goo in play before you even start, so that's quite a wall to overcome before you even start!

Hey guys. I just joined the site and am going around touching base in threads where I've been active in related games.
I've been playing scrolls for a week or 2 now, ever since I found out it'd opened up into paid beta status. I started with a Growth deck and have been buying packs of 10 at a time cards, so I have a lot of doubles and i'm starting to get a decent collection in the other decks.
I'd be up to A. Playing with other members here. B. Trading cards I have more than 3 copies of. C. Helping teach anyone here the finer points of the game if you want to join the game but are a little put off by it's complexities.

My name is Nguyen Hoang Lam, and I am from Hanoi, Vietnam. I am the only deaf person in my family. Before, I lived in Hanoi with my parents, but now I'm living in Ho Chi Minh City with my wife and my son.
I participated and studied in a project called "Opening a High school-University for Deaf people in Vietnam" in Dong Nai for 9 years. I graduated high school in 2008 and I also received certificates in Sign language teaching and Sign language analysis. Now, I'm a student in a teaching certificate program of Dong Nai college. I've gained a lot of knowledge about Sign language, deaf culture, the deaf community and a better understanding about our society.
Besides studying, I'm also a Sign language teacher. I teach for hearing students and the teachers for deaf people who are concerned about using Sign language to communicate with deaf people in Dong Nai and Ho Chi Minh City. I'm one of the members of a research group in Dong Nai college working on Sign language use in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Hai Phong and other places, in order to produce Sign language teaching books, dictionaries, and CDs. I like these works.
In my spare time, I participate in a Deaf culture club in Ho Chi Minh City every Saturday morning. I was chosen to be the vice president of this club. I want to improve the situation of deaf people in Vietnam.
When I was a student in primary level I didn't receive a lot of knowledge because the teachers didn't use Sign language. Now, I've studied hard to prepare myself to be a teacher for deaf people in order to give them better opportunities to study in the future.

THE LIBRARY car park in Wombwell will partially re-open at the start of August amid complaints over congestion in the town centre.
Residents have lodged complaints that the library's £500,000 extension on Station Road has caused more parking problems.
Barnsley Council claims the development is on course and that more spaces will be available from the week starting August 4.
A total of 18 parking bays are set to become available during the partial re-opening.
Coun Dick Wraith said: "It's good news they will be re-opening in part as we have had a lot of complaints from residents as they have not been able to park outside their own house."
Some business owners on the High Street also believe that it has caused a downturn in business as car parking spaces have been lost and appointments have been missed.

Spring is coming and while many of us look to the budding leaves of the maple trees to officially welcome the season, local sugarhouses look to the sap. During the weeks where the days are warm and the nights are still cold, the conditions for "sugaring" are ideal. Now is the time when maple syrup production is underway and sugarhouses all over the northeast are welcoming visitors to take part by hosting open house weekends.
Vermont is holding their 9th annual open house weekend March 26th-28th. Vermont is the nation's largest producer of maple syrup and proudly holds festivals all over the state. You can find information at www.vermontmaple.org.
For those wanting to keep their syrup celebration more local, sugarhouses all across New York are hosting open houses during the weekends of March 20th-21st and the 27th-28th. New York is the 3rd largest maple syrup producer and was the first state to host open houses around 15 years ago. Locations are listed at www.mapleweekend.com. Visitors can see how the syrup is made, sample and purchase products made with syrup, and some farms also offer family activities such as hayrides. What a wonderful way to welcome spring, complete with pancake breakfasts in tree-to-table fashion.

Marin Taxpayers to Save $6.3 Million on Bond Refinance
Kentfield, CA— November 30, 2012—College of Marin recently took advantage of rock-bottom interest rates to refinance previously issued general obligation bonds. In total, the bond refinancing represents a net present value savings to taxpayers of $6.36 million over the life of the bonds.
"As responsible stewards of the community's investment in the College, we recognized that refinancing of the bonds was the right thing to do at this time," said Dr. David Wain Coon, College of Marin Superintendent/President.
The College of Marin Board of Trustees approved the refinancing of previously issued bonds and sale of new bonds at its July 17, 2012, monthly meeting. The results of the refinancing are better than expected due to a drop in interest rates.
"The district was able to take advantage of today's historically low interest rates and achieve an exceptional result for taxpayers," said Sarah Hollenbeck, Director, Public Financial Management, Inc.
The $43.38 million refunding bonds sale took place on November 15, 2012. Eleven bids were received and the winning bidder was Guggenheim Securities. The bonds were originally financed at 4.9 percent. The refinanced rate is 2.11 percent (16-year debt).
According to Hollenbeck, the College also retains its high credit rating. Standard & Poor's reaffirmed the College's AA credit rating and Moody's reaffirmed the College's Aa1 rating for the bond refinancing.
"This is an excellent rating for the college and demonstrates outstanding fiscal management," said Hollenbeck.
Refunding bonds are used to refinance bonds that have higher interest rates. The proceeds from the sale of the refunding bonds are kept in an interest-bearing escrow account until the prior bond's maturity or redemption date. The monies in the escrow account are used to pay off the prior bonds, along with related interest and redemption costs. The refunding bonds will be serviced using the same property tax payments initially used to pay the prior bonds, but at a reduced overall cost.
In addition to refinancing prior bonds, College of Marin also sold a new series of bonds to fund additional facilities modernization projects approved under Measure C. The issuance of the new bonds was approved by the Board of Trustees at its meeting on August 21, 2012. On November 15, 2012, the College sold $46.995 million in Series D Bonds (new money) at a 3.13 percent interest rate (24-year debt). Ten bids were received and the winning bidder was Citigroup. The bond sale at the lower rate will result in a debt service of $79.5 million (compared with an estimate of $90.2 million estimate presented to the Board of Trustees in July). With these results, the maximum tax rate on all Election of 2004 Bonds is projected at $21.30.
College of Marin Measure C Facilities Bond
Marin County voters passed College of Marin's Measure C $249.5 million bond earmarked for facilities modernization in the November 2004 election with more than 63 percent voter approval.
In addition to a number of infrastructure improvement projects, five facilities projects have been completed to date, including the remodel of the Diamond PE Center, a new Fine Arts building, and a new track at the Kentfield Campus; and a new main building and Transportation Technology Complex at the Indian Valley Campus. Projects nearing completion at the Kentfield Campus include a new Science, Math and Nursing Building, remodel of the Performing Arts Building, and a new Child Study Center, all of which are scheduled to open in spring 2013. In addition, the College will break ground in spring 2013 on its new Academic Center that will be located on the corner of Sir Francis Drake Blvd. and College Ave. in Kentfield.

The next morning they rose bright and early before the sun had even dared to begin showing its face. The sky was just fading to grey and pink and some stars still lingered overhead as "Ace" packed up the camp. Not long after that, Runeclaw was being strapped into the harness that would keep her from flying off the back of a water strider. She wasn't entirely happy with this mode of transportation, but it was either this or swimming and who knew what was floating around down there. She still had nightmares sometimes about the whale sharks in Vashj'ir.
Luckily, the trip across the sea was wholly uneventful and even somewhat boring as endless expanses of water stretched to the horizon in all directions. Eventually, the hazy apparition of a small island shrouded in mist appeared before them. As the shore came into view so too did the hulking figures of direhorns along the beach. The pair made landing carefully. "Ace" checked his gear while Runeclaw worriedly paced along the shore. It wasn't that she was a coward… Ok, yes, she was a coward and these dinosaurs were over twice the size of the ones in Un'Goro Crater. The ground quaked as the creatures plodded about their business, and her claws flexed apprehensively in response. Predictably, the hunter thought this meant she was in a hurry to get to work.
"Don't look so bad now, eh? Just dinosaurs," he grinned while speaking in a low tenor. He looked as giddy as a calf during Winter Veil. It was in moments like these that Runeclaw had to remind herself to be just an animal. What she really wanted to do was turn and clobber him over the head to knock some sense into her friend, but the moment she did that the jig would be up, as they say. She couldn't even roll her eyes at him.
After that, she had little time to ponder his insanity as she was kept busy dodging gigantic dinosaur feet and horns. They worked their way toward the center of the island, picking and choosing their prey carefully. These were powerful creatures so they hunted only the young and those that seemed to be suffering illness. It took a long time to harvest the skins, meat, and other choice pieces from the supersized creatures, so their progress was labored and slow. Later, "Ace" would sell or use nearly all of it for trade back on the mainland. He was mentally calculating the worth of what they had gathered so far when he spotted a devilsaur in the distance. His breath caught in his throat. The beast was magnificent! It was even decorated in rune-dappled stone armor. The trimmings alone would be enough to finally buy a quiet piece of land and build a more permanent residence.
He checked his supply of arrows and spent a moment tightening his bowstring. Runeclaw split a worried glance between her friend and the devilsaur. Sometimes, he had a bad habit of biting off more than he could chew. She had plenty of new scars on her backside, all earned by running away from some his more harebrained ideas. A noise burbled up in the back of her throat and she turned back toward the beach. Perhaps, he would take the hint and follow her for once.
"Not that way, Nakila. Just one more. We can handle it." He spoke confidently despite their numerous failures that had started out with that exact phrase.
Oh how she wanted to argue with him! Instead, she turned back toward the looming monstrosity and shuddered. He had the easy job, just stand back there and fling pointy sticks at the beast. She was the one trying to avoid getting smashed into a pancake or thrown halfway across the island. Not for the first time, she considered just how unfair this partnership seemed to be. Did unlimited supplies of popcorn really make up for this kind of treatment? Her mouth watered and her stomach rumbled. She supposed maybe it did.
At his cue, she was off and running across the bone-littered landscape. Her claws gripped the earth to propel her forward, tail flying straight out behind her as adrenaline flooded her limbs. She felt alive! She hoped she didn't soon feel dead! She ran straight up to the devilsaur and took a swat at his foot. A single toe was as big as she! The big animal completely ignored her. She was no more noticeable than a gnat landing on a boot. She tried biting it, but the leathery hide was so thick and tough that her jaw creaked in protest. It just kept standing there, doing nothing. Was it sleeping? She tossed a look over her shoulder at "Ace" who seemed to shrug in the distance and then motioned at her to try again.
With a sigh, she backed up quite a ways and then ran full tilt toward the beast. Her strong limbs thrust her into the air, and she managed to snag the leather strips wrapping the creature's lower legs. She didn't pause to contemplate what that leather was made from because she was pretty sure some of it was "Orc Green" and "Night Elf Blue" (two of her favorite drawing colors). Instead, she focused on scaling the animated mountain until she reached its plated back. "Ace" was really going to owe her for this one. Maybe she would demand something sweet from the little village. They didn't let her enter anymore after the "rice incident," but he could still buy from them, at an inflated cost.
The hunter watched his pet make her way across the devilsaur's lengthy back. A niggling of concern was prodding the base of his skull, but he was trying to ignore it. Just how much damage did he think he was going to do to something that didn't even notice it had a full-sized lion biting, clawing, and climbing on it? Still, the allure of the prize if he succeeded outweighed his more rational concerns. He pushed them aside and nocked an arrow, bow still pointed toward the ground. He would aim for the throat if he could get a good shot. The hide would be softer there and it was unprotected by the stone armor.
Runeclaw finally reached the head and perched upon the creature's brow. She looked around in confusion at the huge helmet the thing was wearing. Idly, she wondered if maybe the devilsaur had stuck its head through a temple somewhere and gotten stuck, the remains of the building forever encasing its cranium. She ambled over to one side and then poked her head through the hole where one yellow eye was socketed away.
"Rawr?" she experimented.
The beast's answering roar set all her fur on end as claws desperately dug for purchase in the stone. It shook its head back and forth, and when that failed to dislodge her, it ducked down and tried to swat her away with its stubby arms. She could hear arrows plinking uselessly off the armor as she jumped and dodged and clung. With a thud that made her teeth rattle, the monster slammed its head against a tree and she found herself falling gracelessly toward the ground. She never had mastered that whole landing on your feet thing, and so she hit the earth hard on her side. Pain wracked her ribs and lungs as her breathing froze. Panic swarmed her senses as her mouth gaped and throat convulsed but no oxygen would enter.
"Ace" sprinted the distance between them, still firing arrows as the beast turned toward his pet. One huge foot crowned with gargantuan talons lifted into the air and descended toward her. A growl of desperation exploded from the hunter as he wasted precious seconds to stop and load three arrows. He drew the string back until his biceps threatened to tear from the strength needed to hold the line, and then he released. The missiles hit the beast's exposed eye and it reared back in agony. Off balance, it toppled to the ground and bits of trees, rocks, and bones exploded into the sky.
Runeclaw felt herself being hoisted up and finally a ragged inhalation convulsed through her pulmonary system. Her vision was blurry, but it was hard to miss the devilsaur big enough to eat Thunder Bluff getting to its feet and mad as all get out. She wiggled to get down and run on her own four paws. They were moving too slow with "Ace" trying to carry her, and the beast's long strides were closing the gap at an alarming rate. He let her go, trusting that she could keep going, and they raced toward the beach side by side.
They crested a dune and a herd of direhorn unfolded in front of them. Runeclaw skidded through the sand and tried to swerve. Instead, she ended up rolling and tumbling down the other side of the dune. She was shaking sand from her ears and sneezing when the herd collectively picked up their heads and the roar of the devilsaur ripped through the air. The concussive sound stirred the sand into a whirlwind as encompassing as any Tanaris sandstorm. Runeclaw's head swung left and right as she tried to locate her friend through eyes narrowed against the gritty wind. Finally, she spotted him caught between the direhorns and the devilsaur. He was half crawling and half running toward her when the two opposing forces collided and sent him sailing through the air. He hit a tree, hard, and slid limply to the ground.
Runeclaw didn't stop to watch the reptiles engage in combat. Any other time, she might have sat there in stupefied fascination, but now she was overwhelmed with terror as she reached her friend's inert form. Her broad nose nudged his shoulder. He flopped over onto his back without so much as a groan. A sinking feeling of dread washed over her. His chest did not rise and fall, and when she put her ear to it there was no telltale thump of a steady heart. Sadness clogged her throat, but she could not cry in this form and so could only whimper and whine and mewl her distress.
She placed a splayed paw upon him and gazed down at her friend, her best friend, and saw her claws flexing and peeling at his chain armor - claws, not fingers. She realized it was finally "the right time."
The Tauren form came to her easily for the first time, perhaps due to the adrenaline surging through her veins or just the desperate resolve that permeated her mind. Her brain sifted through old spells like the pages of well-loved book until finally she recalled the one she would need. After placing both hands over the hunter's heart, she sucked the power from the earth and trees and sky around her. She did not gently ask for Nature to aid her but ripped from it what she needed and threw it down into "Ace's" body with enough wrenching force to jolt him from the ground. His muscles clenched and flexed as his body seized and twisted and then arched into the air and slammed back to the earth. A puff of dried dirt floated upward as he sucked in a ragged breath. She sat back on her heels, panting and sweating with the exertion of her effort.
His eyes opened slowly and he became aware that every bone in his body felt broken, every muscle felt inflamed and swollen, and his nerves were firing off painful twinges that left him grimacing every few moments. A bedraggled female Tauren came into focus kneeling next to him and looking as exhausted as he felt.
"Nakila," he croaked in a whisper. "Where is my Nakila?" He tried to sit up but fell back after only moving a few inches. "What happened?"
Runeclaw pulled the waterskin from his belt and held it to his lips to silence him. As she watched him sip the refreshing liquid, the Taurahe language tumbled around inside her mouth. She rolled the words over her tongue as if sampling a new food. She had not spoken in a long time.
"You died," her words were blunt, economized because she could not fathom how to put them all together yet. "I saved you."
"Thank you, stranger," he replied as she lowered the leather canteen. "But have you seen my Nakila, my lion? If she is hurt…," he trailed off, unaccustomed to asking for help. "If she is hurt, you can make her well?"
Runeclaw could see the panic beginning to bloom behind his eyes and in the way his fingers were scrabbling at the ground as he itched to get up and find her.
"I have seen her." The words came easier now but still haltingly as she carefully strung them together like charms on a bracelet. "She is well. She is here."
He did manage to prop himself up this time onto his flexed elbows and swung his head about as he looked for her. Each moment that passed eased his aches and pains, but he was frantic to get to his feet and see her for himself. Finding no sign of his companion, he swung his gaze back to the woman beside him. Her fur was the brownish-red of brushed bronze and her horns swept back in a graceful arc from her forehead. The tips of her braids held the last vestiges of teal dye. Her expression was anxious but determined as she looked down at him, and her eyes clouded with vulnerability and anxiousness as she waited for him to say something.
"You…," he whispered as he dragged himself into a seated position to lean against the trunk of the very tree that had killed him. One of his hands clasped the end of her braid lightly as he stared at the pale coloring left in it. He shook his head in disbelief, vehemently denying everything his gut told him was true. He released the braid.
"You should bring her to me. I'll wait while you go get her." He was giving her an easy way out. Everything could go back to the way it had been if she would just take the offer he was extending. They could go on pretending as if nothing had changed, but Runeclaw knew that everything had already changed.
"My name is Runeclaw," she told him and he shook his head again as he tried to stop her words from reaching his ears. "I am a Druid, a rather terrible one." The ghost of a smile touched her lips but her eyes were still darkened with the burden of truth. "When you found me, I had forgotten…"
"Stop. I don't want to hear anything more. No. More." Unspoken accusations hung heavy in the air between them.
"If I could just explain," she countered with heat in her voice. After everything they had been through together, everything she had done for him, he owed her the chance to explain, didn't he? "I just saved your life," she blurted combatively.
His jaw worked as his own anger bubbled to the surface. How long had she been keeping this a secret from him? The whole time? Was he just part of some kind of bizarre game Druids played with hunters? Didn't she trust him after everything they had been through together, everything he had done for her? Didn't she owe him that?
"Thank you, again, for saving my life," the words barely forced their way past his clenched teeth. "I don't want to hear your explanations…Runeclaw." He spat the name at her as if saying it aloud how somehow befouled his very soul.
Runeclaw's expression became turbulent as several emotions warred their way across it. Determinedly, she got to her feet and resisted the urge to stomp her foot like a petulant child.
"Fine. Fine then," she cast about for some kind of properly insulting whammy to make her dramatic exit upon but found herself lacking as usual. Verbal sparring had never been her strong suit. "Fine!" she shouted and then did stomp her hooves quite ineffectually through the shifting sand as she left. There had to be a flight master somewhere on this stupid island that could help her. All her worst fears had come true. Popcorn would never be the same.
Ace's head fell back against the tree as he watched her stumble and list back and forth while trying to speed-walk down the beach. Gingerly, he got to his feet as well and made his way back to his water strider so he could return to the mainland. He felt hollow inside. He had just lost his sister all over again. Nothing would ever be the same.
A Rescue of Sorts - Part Three by sioranthWatch
©2014-2016 sioranth
Runeclaw and the hunter have bitten off way more than they can chew on the Isle of Giants, and in the conclusion to "A Rescue of Sorts," Runeclaw finally has to reveal her secret to save her friend but will it cost them both everything?
OK, clearly there are earlier stories that I have to go find. That'll mollify the "MORE!" screaming in my head. For a little while, anyway!
One of the stories is out of order though because DA doesn't really have a very handy organizational tool for chapters that are uploaded out of order. I'mma A Bear is story #2...I think...been a while. I should make links on all the individual stories for easy progression.
Yes, links! *nodnod* But I'm going to hop over and get started on the first one because I felt a little naked, not sure who was who and what was what. Not that it kept me from reading.
Links are done and hopefully I didn't miss anything. It's aggravating that DA doesn't allow you to set an order for items in a gallery other than by date. Hope you enjoy reading about her! I think she's a hoot but I'm a little biased.
Yes, you'd think they could be ordered any way a person wishes, since art doesn't always necessarily flow out in order. Sounds like an item for the suggestion box - if it isn't already there a thousand times over.
I'm getting a little biased, too. And it doesn't hurt that I have a fondness for M:TG Bears, including this one - gatherer.wizards.com/pages/Car….
They let you drag/drop stuff to a different order but it doesn't stay where you put it when you add new things to the folder. At this point, it's a total pain because the story needs to be on page 2 and it's stuck on page 1. I'm not really masochistic enough to delete everything and upload it all again in the right order. lol
I haven't seen M:TG since college! I love the cards but could never get into the actual game.
I stopped playing about four years ago because there just wasn't enough time but I love the game. And much of the artwork is just fantastic! I keep trying to resist the lure of the new sets. There's just something about putting together a deck that relies on a combo that no one sees coming - I miss that!
I hung out with a group of guys that played it back then, and they were always trying to get me into it because I had played D&D in high school. I actually collect playing card decks and love regular card games so you'd think I'd be all over it, but nope, I just think they're pretty.
lol Glad you enjoyed them and thanks for the faves! Runeclaw has her own folder in my gallery, Adventures of a Dragglehoof, and the first story is The Big City. She's a lot of fun to write for, especially in the "early days."

Could There Be a Cooler Maurice Sendak Tribute Than This Awesome Axe?
Maurice Sendak was important to us here at Gizmodo: His stories inspired us to follow our own internal compasses when our parents told us to stop wasting our time skateboarding or making movies or playing with gadgets. In an unhappy coincidence, we visited Best Made Co.'s New York City workshop on the day of…
Arcade Fire: Wake Up
Normally when we write this post it's to talk about a song that we've been listening to, and what it means to us. Tonight I'm going to use it as an excuse to write about Maurice Sendak. I'll be brief.

Feeling down...
Thursday, July 11, 2013
I haven't blogged in over 6 months... sorry for ignoring you my spark friends!
Anyway I have a new system where if i dont workout i have to weigh myself which I dread and typically I only end up weighing myself once or twice a week. But the scale isn't moving even though i've kicked up my workouts and i'm eating clean at least 80% of the time.
Basically i'm completely frustrated, i know its not as simple as eat less+ exercise more= lose weight but i've been working at this for what seems like forever and i'm 20 lbs heavier now than I was a year ago today. I'm not going to say that i eat perfectly all of the time but I dont cheat very often and i've changed my "cheat meals" into more healthy foods than I would have previously considered a cheat meal. I drink at least 80 oz of water everyday.
I have set myself some new goals and if the scale doesn't move by the end of them then i'm going to the doctor because I really dont know what else to do.
here are my Goals by September 1st
Exercise minutes: Minimum of 1500
Weight: 195 (12 lbs lost)
Pants size: 10
I'm finding it incredibly difficult to stay positive when i'm working hard and nothing is changing after months of hard work. I set goals back in February to be a size 10 by my graduation and a size 8 by my boyfriend's birthday (which is in 3 days) and i'm still hardly fitting into my size 12's. some days they are baggy and some days they are tight but the scale never moves.
Any advice and words of encouragement are greatly appreciated.

Something that I suggested to another Sparkler is to put your food tracker up for all to see. It does two things, keeps you honest, and also allows others to maybe see and make better recommendations based on your diet. Just a thought! If you're definitely being a calorie nazi and exercising vigorously at least three times a week with a good cardio, then you should definitely be losing the weight. If your cheats are big time though, and your workouts aren't pushing your boundaries, then that might be part of it. Keep working at it, doing something is a million times better for you than nothing, and you might just need to tweak something to unlock your fat burning goddess! :-D

First of all - turn that frown upside down!
Second of all - I hear you on that frustration, I know that feeling and it SUCKS. It can zap your motivation even more. A few words of advice:
- Switch up your workouts. I hear your body can get "used" to your workouts and sometimes you have to "shock" it back into action?
- Maybe see your doctor. They can run some tests and see if anything is up.
- Are you strength training? Some people have certain body types and all you can do at one point is tighten it up versus shrink. Does that make sense?
- Play around with your diet! Maybe do some days vegetarian/gluten free or something? You could learn new healthy recipes along the way!
GOOD LUCK and whatever you do - DON'T GIVE UP! You can do it!!!!!!

The scale is just one measure of wellness. Energy. Sleep. Hydration. Fitness. Lab results. Able to fit in roller coaster seat or movie seat or booth. Able to get rings on and off. Stamina. Strength. Emotional Control.
All also valuable measures. Don't let the scale ruin your efforts.
Hang in there - the journey is worth it.

sounds like you are doing all the right things - I agree with you, if things still don't change a trip to the Dr. might be a good idea. Could be your thyroid or some other such thing is preventing you from losing weight despite all your hard work. Don't give up - you know you are a healthier you, no matter what the scale says.

dry days at last posted on 05/05/2010 by mags249
i was worried that my dog ben would not like having the nappy on him, but he was fine from the very start. its great not having to change and wash bed covers every single day.
Really works posted on 24/03/2010 by Millie Hughes
My Bull Terrier bitch has been bed wetting for a few years now after large puppies, this is a great product, I use ladies night time towels inside the dog pants and it works really well, not having to wash bedding everyday and hopefully my car will start to smell less. Tried proper dog nappies but a they need to come off for walks they are wasted and actually dont stay on so well, using these nappies underneath velcro pants as well. Great!

Great value and most useful. posted on 27/08/2008 by Richard Killick
It was purchased to overcome a desire to lick a wound round the back end and hinder the healing, that the traditional "lampshade" could not prevent. This required accurate location to frustrate a tongue, and needed a small modification to the large tail hole to reduce its size. For this unuasual purpose it has been most successful. It washes and dries easily.

Latest Headlines
Only a week after Free Mobile announced it had added LTE to its €19.99 ($27.60) mobile plan for no extra charge, the Iliad-owned operator is now including the high-speed service in its €2-a-month plan, while Bouygues Telecom said it is extending LTE to its entire portfolio at no extra charge.
Telekom Austria became the second Austrian operator in recent weeks to cautiously predict that the price war on the domestic market may soon be over, with the company's CFO now hoping it will stabilise its core profits next year.
There was good and bad news for Orange this week, after revelations from the operator that it faced a €2.15 billion ($2.84 billion) tax payment overshadowed more positive news that the price war on the French mobile market had begun to stabilise.
French operator SFR said it is ready to sell its shares on the market, although Chairman Stephane Roussel also warned that the price war on France's mobile market is far from over.
The mobile price war in France continues to have its winners and losers, with both Vivendi and Bouygues Telecom reporting worsening profits in the first quarter as Iliad boasted that its mobile revenue tripled in the same period.
Two of Europe's largest operators reported lower sales in the first quarter of 2013, reflecting the weak European economy and fierce competition in their respective home markets.
SFR could be the next operator after Maroc Telecom to face the Vivendi axe, although the French media and telecoms group insisted it is in no rush to sell anything, especially at the wrong price.
France Telecom (FT) said its 2012 profits were heavily impacted by the ongoing price war in its domestic market and writedowns totalling €1.84 billion on some of its units.
Battle-scarred Telekom Austria has warned that revenue will fall this year for the fifth year in a row, but the incumbent fixed and mobile operator declined to give a forecast for earnings this year against the background of a fiercely competitive market.
Choosing five highlights from a hectic 12 months of European wireless news is thought provoking. However, there were several events and companeis that stood out to me: disruptions in the market,...

Sept. 19, 2012
Video Interview with J. Morris
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- You go to work long enough and you come to know what to expect.
James Morris has been showing up for work at Kinnick Stadium since 2010, and when the Hawkeyes face Central Michigan on Saturday at 11 a.m., he knows he can expect a fight up front. The Chippewas, with three seniors on the offensive line, average 198 yards per game on the ground -- nearly six yards a carry -- and have allowed just one sack in two games.
On the other side of the ball, the Hawkeye defense has recorded just three sacks through three games, but Iowa does rank 23rd nationally in total defense, and Morris says the defensive line may be ready for a break through.
"The line has been excellent," said Morris, who ranks second on the team and fifth in the Big Ten averaging 9.3 tackles per game. "They're doing a great job. Week to week they continue to improve. We know they haven't played their best football yet so I'm excited about what they're going to be able to do this week."
Thus far, the defense has shined when the lights have been their brightest. Iowa ranks among the nation's top 30 defenses in red zone efficiency, and over the last two games, the Hawkeyes have forced three turnovers in the red zone, including two fumbles and an interception.
Iowa has also stood tall late in the game when it's time to get the defense off the field. The Hawkeyes have held the opposition to 5-23 on third and fourth down conversions, and allowed just 10 points in the second half.
Morris said the key this week will be to lengthen the opponent's field while putting the offense in manageable field position.
"We need to keep the ball in front of us and really don't give them anything easy... make them go the distance," Morris said. "If we can do that I think our offense will be able to put points on the board."
Central Michigan, while playing in its first road game of the season, is the beneficiary of an extra week of preparation. The Chippewas defeated SE Missouri State in their season opener, lost to Michigan State at home in Week 2, and sat idle last week.
"We're expecting their best shot and we have to be able to handle whatever they throw at us," said Morris. "We know the coaches will have a great game plan for us and we'll go to work like we have every week."

The TS41 handset is the first to let users hear calls inside their heads. Developed by Sanyo, it carries a "sonic speaker" which generates vibrations that move from the skull to the cochlea in the inner ear instead of relying on the traditional method of sound hitting the outer eardrum.
In noisy environments, users can plug an ear to keep outside noise from drowning out bone-conducted sounds. The phone retails for ¥7,800 yen, or $73 U.S. But, the way you look using the phone is priceless.

"Summer, summer, summertime. Time to sit back and unwind." The lyrics of Philly's own DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince ring soundly to me as summer is officially here! Let us pause for applause. No hand claps huh? Sure the summertime temps are sure to rise but the weather is so unpredictable. The importance thing is to be comfortable, have fun, and of course dress for the steamy air. There really is no right or wrong because everyone is different, some opt to wear long maxi dresses all summer, while others love linen pants, shorts, tank tops, collared shirts, whatever your decision it's yours! Now onto the fun stuff, whether you are a "girly-girl" (like me) or just want clothing that's simple but pops with color then these tips are for you. I fell in love with specifically their floral prints!
There's no doubt that floral prints are in, we've seen them last fall and here and there during the winter and spring. But what's great about wearing floral prints during the warmer months is that it just blends well with the season. I personally love flowers and I've been noticing them more often in my travels. Whether you're strolling nearby Rittenhouse Square downtown or taking in the sights in University City you are bound to find bushels and green stems propping up beautiful flowers. From royal blue, hot pink, rosy red, the colors have no limits. So from the garden to your wardrobe floral fashions are in full bloom!
Check out these GoJane floral fashions and more that vary in styles and prices, a smart saving strategy for those who are trying to shop sensibly. The items offer a 25% off markdown, be sure to use the code: GJEXTRA25 for this deal from today until July 2, 2014 at midnight!
Happy summer!

Help with KSE (Xbox)
I have the PC and X-Box version of KotOR, and the X-Box version of TSL. I downloaded a modded save made by Jay "FNG" and fired it up to make sure it worked. Then, I took the files PC saves have in them and put those in a folder in the same directory I keep my PC saves, opened KSE, changed what I wanted, saved. I placed the modified versions of those into a copied version of FNG's save, zipped it up and put it on my memory card. However, when I try and load it, KotOR says the game is damaged. GLOBALVARS, PARTYTABLE, SAVEGAME.sav, savenfo, and Screen are used in PC saves, so I figured that's what I needed to change. KSE treated it EXACTLY like a PC save, so I assumed that part worked fine. However, the original FNG save has some crazy ass green things called Broderbund Poster Type files that PC saves don't have. I think I need to change something with those (I remember reading somewhere that headers are a problem), I just don't know what. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The readme file for KSE has info on editing XBox save games...
Here is the KSE Thread browsing that might also help you out.
Lastly, as this is about KSE moving to the T3-M4 A.D.C. Forum...

Sporting KC, Brookside Soccer League debate increased soccer fees for children's leagues
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Thousands of children gearing up for the fall soccer season may not be able to play where their families originally thought.
Sporting KC is putting the finishing touches on the state-of-the-art youth soccer fields in the new Swope Soccer Village. The new fields are scheduled to be finished in September, just in time for the fall soccer season.
But there is a financial feud between the Brookside Soccer League, KCMO City Hall and Sporting KC that has put the use of the new taxpayer-funded fields in jeopardy.
Earlier this year, Brookside Soccer League told parents they would have to pay $12 extra to play on the new fields, according to multiple sources. Now, participants in the league may have to pay an additional $8 as part of their league fee, according to a source, after already paying the original fee for this season. The three parties are at an impasse and no deal has been brokered.
Soccer mom Brittany Hassenflu said she is frustrated.
"I wouldn't be surprised if people pull their kids. It's $12, but it's the fact that they're not being informed properly that's going to make people upset," Hassenflu said. "It's not necessarily the money but the complete and continued disappointment and the failure to promise what is being advertised to them."
Representatives of each organization refused to comment on the record for this story, but a city official said all the groups involved were planning to meet this week to try to agree on a deal.
The Swope Soccer Village will include concession stands, all-weather playing fields and lights.

Svante August Arrhenius. Courtesy Edgar Fahs Smith Memorial Collection, Department of Special Collections, University of Pennsylvania Library.
Svante August Arrhenius (1859–1927), a founding father of physical chemistry, was trained in both chemistry and physics. He began at the University of Uppsala, but then petitioned to work at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm instead, because he found the chemistry professors at the university rigid and uninspiring. His doctoral dissertation, presented in 1883, described his experimental work on the electrical conductivity of dilute solutions; it also contained a speculative section that set out an early form of his theory that molecules of acids, bases, and salts dissociate into ions when these substances are dissolved in water—in contrast to the notion of Michael Faraday and others that ions are produced only when the electrical current begins to flow. According to Arrhenius, acids were substances that contained hydrogen and yielded hydrogen ions in aqueous solution; bases contained the OH group and yielded hydroxide ions in aqueous solution.

Arrhenius's thesis was received coolly by the university authorities and nearly ruined his prospects for an academic career. At the time his theory seemed incredible to many because, among other reasons, a solution of sodium chloride shows none of the characteristics of either sodium or chlorine. In addition, the professors he had shunned in his studies were not well disposed toward him. But he had the foresight to send copies of his thesis to several international chemists, and a few were impressed with his work, including the young chemists Wilhelm Ostwald and Jacobus Henricus van't Hoff, who were also to become founding fathers of physical chemistry. Ostwald offered Arrhenius a position in Riga, Latvia, which Arrhenius could not then accept because of his father's illness. He was instead given a post in Sweden and later a travel grant from the Swedish Academy that enabled him to work with Ostwald and van't Hoff. He subsequently developed his electrolytic dissociation theory further in quantitative terms and wrote texts promoting physical chemistry.

Arrhenius also applied physicochemical principles to the study of meteorology, cosmology, and biochemistry. In meteorology he anticipated late-20th-century speculation on the "greenhouse" effect of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Although he was offered opportunities to move to other European universities, and he delivered important lecture series at universities in the United States, Arrhenius always returned to Stockholm. In 1903 he received the Nobel Prize in chemistry, and in 1905 he was made director of the newly created Nobel Institute for Physical Chemistry.

It's finally beginning to feel a bit like fall in NYC after what seemed like an endless heat wave. Up until a couple of days ago people could still be seen wearing shorts and sandals, but thankfully, Mother Nature has finally decided to grace us with some cool air.
Now that I can finally put away my summer shoes, I can't help but go a little boot crazy. Lately, I'm loving all things oxblood-colored, and these mirrored Opening Ceremony Bellagio Boots are just begging to be bought. By now you're more than familiar with our obsession with shoes and handbags, so I couldn't help but pair these boots with this amazing Kenzo Lamb Skin Shopper Tote.
These chic streetwear accessories are perfect for any day-to-night outfit. Not to mention, the tote is big enough to carry all your essentials and the boots are comfortable enough to dance around in all night long. You can purchase both items via Farfetch.

A tragedy of modern times is the millions of refugees displaced by poverty, oppression, war and natural disaster. Most end up living in canvas tents of a basic design that are hot in summer, cold in winter, and only last about six months in constant use despite some refugees living in such tents for up to 12 years. On World Refugee Day in June, the Ikea Foundation unveiled a new flat-pack refugee shelter with a modular design and solar panel designed to help improve living conditions for refugees.Read More
Teaching a robot how to deal with real-world problems is a challenging task. There has been much progress in building robots that can precisely repeat individual tasks with a level of speed and accuracy impossible for human craftspeople. But there are many more tasks that could be done if robots could be supplied with even a limited amount of judgement. A robotics group led by Professor Sylvain Calinon at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) is making progress in solving this problem. Read More

Swine Flu Update: A Single-Dose Vaccine Appears to Work, Study Shows
The first clinical trial data on new vaccines being developed to treat the H1N1 pandemic flu virus in the U.S. suggest that one dose will work to immunize most people, according to a preliminary report in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Researchers studied two vaccines, one which had a substance added to improve immune response, called an adjuvant, and one that didn't, for 21 days. Both showed the vaccines elicted immune responses with single shot. One big question for public health officials was whether a single dose would be sufficient.
Full results will be published after patients have been followed for 42 days, the journal said.
An accompanying editorial, written by Kathleen Neuzil of the University of Washington, calls the findings "welcome and reassuring" and suggests that it would be "appropriate" to start vaccination using one regular dose of non-adjuvanted vaccine. Two doses might be needed in children, she writes, but if supplies are short, the vaccine shouldn't be held in reserve to give a second dose.
The nonadjuvant vaccine is being developed by CSL Ltd. of Australia. The adjuvant version is from Novartis. Both are expected to be available in the fall.
Side effects, including pain at the injection site and headaches, were reasonably tolerated, Neuzil noted.
Chinese vaccine marker Sinovac Biotech and Novartis have both said recently that their swine-flu vaccines showed positive results.

wmctrl problems
Jean-Francois Dagenais <jeff.dagenais <at> gmail.com>
Hi all, Running x2go server on ubuntu (12.04), and my terminal is a mac running XQuartz (with quartz-wm) and the Qt x2go client. I used the Published apps rootless and spawn a few windows from the server. Things run pretty smoothly and Im happy with the performance. The thing that hurts is related to window management. Heres a relevant output: $ echo $DISPLAY :50 $ wmctrl -l Cannot get client list properties. (_NET_CLIENT_LIST or _WIN_CLIENT_LIST) $ wmctrl -m Cannot get window manager info properties. (_NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK or _WIN_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK) Whereas if I run the same commands natively on the mac, XQuartz responds correctly to wmctrl. So the problem affects pretty much all tools related to window management I tried. I am no X11 expert, but I am a developer and very familiar with linux systems. Right now I just need a few pointers, any thoughts? Thanks in advance! /jfd

Two Members of the Phelps Family Leave Westboro Baptist Church
Megan and Grace Phelps-Roper, daughters of the notorious Shirley Phelps-Roper and granddaughters of the infamous Fred Phelps, have defected from the Westboro Baptist Church (of "God Hates Fags" fame). Writing for a blog called Turning Points in an entry titled Head Full of Doubt / Road Full of Promise, Megan says:
I never thought [my world] would change. I never wanted it to.
Then suddenly: it did.
And I left.
Where do you go from there?
I don't know, exactly. My sister Grace is with me, though. We're trying to figure it out together.
There are some things we do know.
We know that we've done and said things that hurt people. Inflicting pain on others wasn't the goal, but it was one of the outcomes. We wish it weren't so, and regret that hurt.
We know that we dearly love our family. They now consider us betrayers, and we are cut off from their lives, but we know they are well-intentioned. We will never not love them.
We know that we can't undo our whole lives. We can't even say we'd want to if we could; we are who we are because of all the experiences that brought us to this point. What we can do is try to find a better way to live from here on. That's our focus.
Up until now, our names have been synonymous with "God Hates Fags." Any twelve-year-old with a cell phone could find out what we did. We hope Ms. Kyle was right about the other part, too, though – that everything sticks – and that the changes we make in our lives will speak for themselves.
Jeff Chu, author of Does Jesus Really Love Me? A Gay Pilgrim's Search for God in America, first met Megan in 2011 when he was doing research in Topeka for the book. When Megan left Westboro she reached out to him, and he posted a fascinating, in-depth piece today that fills out the story a little more, touching on their reasons for leaving, their future plans, and the process of exiting the Westboro Baptist Church. It's remarkably candid and worth reading in its entirety. Here's Phelps-Roper describing the current state of her religious beliefs after stepping away from Westboro for the first time in 27 years:
"I'm trying to figure out which ones were good and smart, and which ones shouldn't be there anymore," she says. "I don't feel confident at all in my beliefs about God. That's definitely scary. But I don't believe anymore that God hates almost all of mankind. I don't think that, if you do everything else in your life right and you happen to be gay, you're automatically going to hell. I don't believe anymore that WBC has a monopoly on truth."
And her future plans?
She hopes to emerge from this season "with a better understanding of the world and how I fit into it," she says, "and how I can be an influence for good." This all sounds lovely and rainbows and unicorns, but really? You may believe it or you may not, but Megan won't budge on this—and a trace of the characteristic Westboro stubbornness that I experienced in Topeka resurfaces. She is emphatic: "It's true! I wanted to do good! I thought I was. And that wish hasn't changed."
The Phelps-Roper sisters follow in the footsteps of high-profile Westboro defectors Libby Phelps-Alvarez, who left in 2009, and Nate Phelps, who ran away from home when he was 18. If I had to guess, I'd say this departure is probably a particularly bitter pill for the Phelps gang because Megan was widely seen as the heir to the Westboro Baptist Church "legacy" — her grandfather Fred is largely removed from day-to-day operations, her mom Shirley runs things, and Shirley has described Megan as her "right-hand man."
I can't imagine how jarring and uncertain these first steps on Megan and Grace's new journey must be for them, but I'm sure glad they've started out.

Wow! Where did the last month go? I literally just downloaded a month worth of pictures. I filled an 8GB card. Can we say picture happy? I have been so busy enjoying Lorelei, Hunter and all the family that came to visit I am going to have to catch up!
Uncle Jack took a long road trip from Florida to Kansas with his girlfriend and her dog just to see me. Okay so Lorelei and Hunter probably had more to do with it, but I will take all the credit.
We sat around and talked most of the time. We did decide to go to the zoo on Winter Wednesday. The name was very fitting. It started snowing after the freezing rain while we were there and we had 30 mph winds, which is pretty typical for Kansas it just makes the cold colder. Hunter was an ice cube by the time we were all done. Course my brother and I being the geniuses we are both were wearing flip flops. (I hate to admit I am still wearing flip flops around. lol)
Hunter absolutely adores his Uncle Jack. He followed him around like a lost puppy saying Uncle Jack over and over again.
When Uncle Jack had to leave to go home the poor kid through himself on the floor crying.
Thanks for coming Uncle Jack. Hope to see you soon even if you got us all sick : ) !

TC TO ISOBEL BEGG ; 7 June 1842; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18420607-TC-IBE-01; CL 14: 200-201
5. Cheyne Row, Chelsea / London, 7 june, 1842—
Dear Madam,
As it is pity that good news should not travel with what speed they can, I give myself the pleasure of writing this to you today, of which you will probably hear from Mr Chambers, more at large, in a day or two.
The Prime Minister, Sir Robert Peel, has agreed to bestow on you a small Pension of Twenty Pounds a-year, with reversion of Ten Pounds each to your two worthy Daughters should they survive you. Or perhaps it may be so arranged, owing to the official necessities of the case, that your Daughters should be marked down for the Pension at once: but the meaning is, that you are to have Twenty Pounds a year during life, and they Ten Pounds a year each afterwards. Sir Robert will also add, from some other Public Fund, a present donation to you of Fifty Pounds.1 The details of the matter, first date of payment &c, are not yet settled but you may take the fact as sure; I saw the promise yesterday under his own hand.
The chief agent in this good work has been Mr Milnes, a Yorkshire Member of Parliament, himself a Poet, and generous-hearted man to whom it is no burden to owe kindness.
Properly, however, you do not owe this to anybody but to your own illustrious Brother; whose noble life, wasted tragically away, pleads now aloud to men of every rank and place for some humanity to his last surviving Sister. May God give you all good of this gift, and make it really useful to you!
There are other small presents from private persons still to be collected; which process Mr Milnes and I are of opinion ought still to go on; and we are in hopes of thereby getting something more for your benefit.
You need not answer this Letter: it is a mere luxury that I give myself, the writing of it.2
With many good wishes to you and yours, with much satisfaction at such a result,
I remain, / Yours very truly / Thomas Carlyle
to Mrs Begg, Tranent.
