Kick off Meeting of CIPS
HRDC participated in the Kick off Meeting of the "Creative Industry Primary Schools" project (CIPS) which took place in Perugia of Italy at 23 to 24 of November. CIPS project aims to set up didactic workshops for kids and boys and girls of primary and secondary junior schools that will involve participants in activities where the artistic disciplines are used to develop cross competences, individual attitudes and improve intercultural differences.
Moreover the projects want to define a specific curriculum aimed at school operators, in particular teachers and schools headmasters, in order to let them acquire specific competences regarding the use of the artistic disciplines like tools and didactic approaches important for the pupils' experience growth, development of cross competences, in particular linguistic expression.

Regarding the blerb on State Legislators:
Actually, it's called the "LAW of Gravity". And I'm pretty sure its been proven! ;-)
Aw, darn it! Now I've gone and stepped in YOUR thesis! At least I wasn't barefoot.
Peace Out
A couple of women on the faculty of Mars Hill Graduate School, the small seminary in Seattle, are claiming they were fired (listen closely now) because their husbands had affairs with students, then they divorced the husband over the affair. They're not sure whether this means they were fired for getting a divorce (not out of the question at a fundamentalist school), or, even worse, for causing their husbands to have extra-marital sex (sadly enough, also not out of the question). But one teacher was angry enough to sue the school and settle out of court for $300,000. The cultural parallel here is, of course, the Taliban, which blames the woman for all sexual infidelity. It started with those Mary Quant mini-skirts in Piccadilly Square in 1965, and it hasn't been the man's fault since then.
Prosperity Gospel Saint Blesses The Door
Mac Hammond, prosperity-gospel megachurch guru for the Twin Cities, is selling his airplane—or at least one of them—because his cash cow, the Living Word Christian Center in Brooklyn Park, is running anywhere from $30,000 to $70,000 in the red every week, despite his 10,000 members and—as of a year ago—308 new "souls saved" at each service. (For those who have been paying very close attention, this is the same jet that Kenneth Copeland referred to during the now infamous minister's conference that was adjourned to raise money for Mike Huckabee. Copeland said "I'd like to try to keep Mac's jet in the family." Word Faith ministers preside over families of jets as well as families of humans.) Asked how Living Word Christian Center could possibly be losing money, a spokesman, the Rev. Brian Sullivan, said he thinks it's the "bad publicity" recently surrounding anyone who teaches Word Faith. THANK YOU, BROTHER BRIAN, FOR ACKNOWLEDGING OUR HARD WORK. GOD BLESS YA, BROTHER. HALLELUJAH!
Supermodel Hired to Play Yogi, But Who Will They Get For Boo-Boo?
Indian hottie Mallika Sherawat landed a role in The Aquarian Gospel as a comic-relief yogi who meets Jesus while he's wandering around India, Tibet and Persia in director Drew Heriot's $15 million project to be released sometime in 2009. The idea here seems to be the filmic equivalent of those "historical Jesus" best-sellers that operate on the assumption that, hey, you can't prove it didn't happen this way.
The Theory That State Legislators Evolved From Manatees
The next time a state legislature takes up what should be taught in high school science class, I would like to propose that we have a little one-day class for the legislators themselves on the meaning of the word "theory." Florida is the latest state to insert into textbooks the statement that evolution is "only a theory," thinking that somehow that establishes parity between evolution and a literal reading of Genesis. Alas, in science the word "theory" means the opposite of what the lawmakers think it means. A theory, like the theory of gravity or the theory of relativity, is a huge body of independently verified scientific information that all works together to explain how the world works. You only use "theory" after you've gone through a lot of other stages. "Theory," in science, is what most people call "fact" in other areas of life. What the legislators are trying to say is that evolution is not a theory but merely a "thesis," which it is not. It is a theory. The idea that the earth is 6,000 years old and was created in six literal 24-hour days—now that is a thesis.
Mazel, Dude, Peace Out
So there was this singing Hasidic rabbi from Jerusalem who liked to teach mystical nuggets from the Kabbalah while surfing in Santa Barbara and skateboarding through crowds of dancing Jews as he played Bob Marley covers on his guitar, and here's the punch line: there is no punch line. Meet Yom Tov Glaser, Party Rabbi.

Thank you, More Anon. The whole trouble with this debate (literal, six-day-creation vs. big-bang-evolution) within the church is that it leaves out the possibility of a third way. It would indeed seem that six day creation doesn't jibe well with what we observe in nature. On the other hand, all the best scientific minds in the world would have told you the earth was flat a few hundred years ago. What science "knows" about the origins of the universe are, at best, drawing some lines between some very-few-and-far-apart dots, and then making a lot of assumptions based on that data. Ever try to "see" the figures, like Orion, in the constellations? Takes a lot of imagination. Science's explanations are a lot like that to me. The mystery of the creation account, and the reverent beauty of the story, shouldn't be weighed down with trying to "explain" everything. I'm perfectly happy to realize that I can't and won't delve all the mysteries of God. When those within Christendom embrace today's science as the be-all-end-all explanation of things, they are engaging in something that may cause its own embarrassment a few hundred years from now.
Thanks Doug!
When I'm sitting around in a few hundred years, looking back on all this. I'll be sure to get a good belly laugh. In the meantime, I kinda feel stuck with what we know right now as being a bit more relevant to our current situation. To be fair, anyone who accepts where science has taken us so far as the be all and end all probably deserves to be laughed at, right after the folks who refuse to admit that God might have revealed anything new to us over the past few thousand years.
wow. the whole "now look who you made me sleep with" takes a whole new turn. that is as ridiculous as when a former employer told me "I'm a man--and I have needs." yeeeaaaahhh. (you actually use those lines in real life???) I wasn't surprised when my supervisor called me one day and said I wasn't needed anymore there. sheesh... old enough to be my father, divorced, living with a girlfriend, had a kid, and wanted some white chocolate on the side? noooooo.... I need to wash.....
men are truly pigs. putting the 'mental' back in fundamental.
and I really am glad that Living Word Christian Center is having trouble. been a personal thorn in my side for nearly a decade. been there, done that. know people who go there and been brainwashed. can pinpoint it on a map.
but enough with the personal rants. going to visit the shrinky-dink today. then it will alllll be better. shalom, y'all.
I've read several comments like this one from you which lead me to believe you've had some damage done to you by men in your life...how does this make you feel? So you've turned angry (perhaps bitter?) against men in general...how's that workin' out for ya? Okay, yes, there are plenty of jerk-ass men. But there are also plenty of manipulative, using, women. The trick is, avoid them both! But they (in both cases) are not the only examples of the species.
That'll be $285. You can pay the receptionist on the way out. See you next week.
LMAO...Good one Douggie!!!
naw, not bitter against men. just the ones who blame the wimmens for their sins. and not even bitter. it makes me laugh to think that people still turn and point fingers and say "look at what you made me do!"
like the televangelists preaching against "dark powers" when they should really be paying their taxes.
the whole line of "I'm a man and I got needs" nearly had me squirt milk out of my nose.
now if you want to see BITTER, I have a friend I can introduce you to.
Billye Rrim says the earth is as old as the scientists say it needs to be. Now, don't that just beat all?
Oops. Typo: It's Billye Brim. (Allow this monkey typing away to correct himself!)
is mars hill graduate school really considered fundamentalist? for some reason that struck me as odd when i read the bit about the suing women. i would love anyone's thoughts.
I did not know that Malika sherawat got a role in any hollywood movie. is that movie already released or what? Very curious to know as an indian movie fan and especially Mallika Fan.
I've visited this sites more once and found few of the posts worth reading but rest are in bad taste. Freedom of speech doesn't mean publishing all the filth in the society. I would like to see more writings of responsible persons, not of perverts.

Negotiating a free trade agreement between Australia and Europe
Should we have a comprehensive free trade agreement with Europe? Alastair Walton identifies the historical importance of the free movement of labour and capital to the emergence of a modern Europe, and he argues that an FTA would act as a lever for the urgent reforms which will be required for the Australian economy in the years ahead with the upcoming end to our booming terms of trade.

That sounded like a diatribe. The other side of the coin is that we were quite naturally at war, being warlike, and we bought pacification by mass production, and in the process welcomed a population explosion that is now out of control.
When industry declines as it inevitably will do from wasteful depletion, and as population rises, we will revert. We just borrowed from nature at a huge price to feed industry and ourselves into pacifism. A maniacal program, and we will see the consequences in decades to come, including more diatribe to promote the rolling on of Big Mo despite the reality.
Alternatives are needed, and you are welcome to read an alternative view that provides a real foundation for our future. It has everything to do with humanity and human understanding and nothing to do with industry. Other people can do the other work towards our future on their own, for population control, renewable resource management, and so on, but mine is an intellectual effort at thehumandesign.net

Laptop wireless Internet access:
Wireless Internet for laptop is actually a very simple process when everything works the way its suppose to, especially if you have connected to Wi-Fi before and are a bit familiar with it.
Once your laptop has been connected to a Wi-Fi network the wireless Internet laptop connection settings are stored away in the network portion of your computers operating system, and you don't really give them much thought.
However, maybe your laptop needed to have the OS (operating system) restored, and now the laptop wireless Internet access settings have all been wiped out, or maybe you just got home from buying your spouse they're new laptop and things look and seem a little different.
So let's go over the process together, and get your laptop wireless Internet access up and running.
Getting Started:
We're going to assume you already have a home Wireless Network Setup, configured and ready to connect to.
When trying to connect to an available laptop wireless Internet access signal, it's always best to be well with-in the Wireless Router Range during the connection process.
Let's go into the room where the Cable Modem Wireless Router is located, so we know we should be getting best wireless Internet signal reading.
Wireless Internet connection manager:
The wireless connection manager is the utility used to locate, connect to, and disconnect from a WiFi network signal being broadcasted in your immediate area.
WHNME will take you through the steps of getting connected to a wireless network.
If your laptop is working properly and picking up your wireless routers signal broadcast, and you're not yet connected your screen should look like this.
If your connection manager icon is looking like this, then your built-in internal wireless network card is probably turned off.
If you checked your Wi-Fi wireless (On/Off) switch and its turned (On) and appears that it should be functioning, and you still see a red X on your connection manager icon, then there is problem with your wireless network adapter and you'll need to perform some Home Network Troubleshooting to determine the cause of the problem.
Connecting to your wireless network:
The wireless connection manager maintains a list of any and all wireless networks in your immediate area, and can store the wireless profile information for the next time you want to connect.
Displaying here is all the nearby wireless Internet for laptop connections your system is detecting in your immediate area.
If you don't know your network name (SSID), network security key or passphrase, we do provide instruction for several top manufacturers of wireless routers on the market today, so you can retrieve it from with-in your wireless Router Settings.
|Linksys Router Login Procedures
|Netgear Router Login Procedures
|Belkin Router Login Procedures
|D-Link Router Login Procedures
Once you've connected, and have laptop wireless Internet access the network settings will be stored into the operating system of your computer, and will show as connected.
That's it! You now have laptop wireless internet access, all you have to do is open your favorite web browser and enjoy surfing the web.

By Jody Record, Campus Journal Editor July 23, 2008
A survey conducted earlier this year by the OS Council cited the same top
four concerns as those revealed in a poll taken during the 2007 benefits fair:
wages, parking, advancement opportunities and healthcare costs and benefits.
Results of the April 2008 survey were shared at the July 9 council meeting.
A question related to the issues asked what employees would like to see improved
on or changed. In response to a follow-up query of whether either change or
improvement is possible, 53 respondents replied yes while 64 answered no. A
total of 208 people took the survey.
To the question of what workers like best about their jobs, the top three
answers were coworkers, benefits and the tasks they perform or the variety
of work they do.
The results of the survey have been shared with President Mark Huddleston.
In other news, councilors decided there is no conflict of interest in having
chairman Matty Leighton also record the meeting minutes. There was also a discussion
on a brainstorming session that had taken place at a previous meeting where
counselors identified objectives to address in the future.
After reviewing the goals, the following were determined to be priorities:
creating a 360-degree evaluation process; establishing a review board to hear
employees' concerns/complaints; updating the OS Council Web site; and
helping UNH–M employees address their issues.
Additionally, councilors decided on the next topic for the OS communication
boards, used to help keep employees who don't have access to computers
abreast of current issues and council actions.
Currently the communication boards have information on UNH's wellness
program as well as minutes from prior meetings.
We welcome your story ideas, letters, photos,
notable events, achievements, obituaries and/or memorium.
If you would like to submit an item, please contact the Editor at 862-1567.
Deadline for submissions is Tuesdays at 4 pm.

List Price: $24.95Edition: 60thCopyright Year: 2005Publisher: HarperCollins PublishersPublication Date: 11/29/2005Binding: HardcoverPages: 432Size: 6.25" wide x 9.00" long x 1.25" tall Weight: 1.540Language: English
When Black Boy exploded onto the literary scene in 1945, it caused a sensation. Orville Prescott of the New York Times wrote that "if enough such books are written, if enough millions of people read them maybe, someday, in the fullness of time, there will be a greater understanding and a more true democracy." Opposing forces felt compelled to comment: addressing Congress, Senator Theodore Bilbo of Mississippi argued that the purpose of this book "was to plant seeds of hate and devilment in the minds of every American." From 1975 to 1978, Black Boy was banned in schools throughout the United States for "obscenity" and "instigating hatred between the races." This new edition of the once controversial, now classic American autobiography measures the brutality and rawness of the Jim Crow South against the sheer desperate will it took to survive as "black boy." Richard Wright grew up in the woods of Mississippi, with poverty, hunger, fear, and hatred. He lied, stole, and raged at those about him; at six he was "a drunkard," hanging about taverns. Surly, brutal, cold, suspicious, and self-pitying, he was surrounded on one side by whites who were either indifferent to him, pitying, or cruel, and on the other by blacks who resented anyone trying to rise above the common lot. At the end of Black Boy, Wright sits poised with pencil in hand, determined to "hurl words into this darkness and wait for an echo." Wright's eloquent account is at once a profound indictment and an unashamed confession -- a poignant and disturbing record of social injustice and human suffering. HarperCollins is proud to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of the book's publication with this special hardcover edition, which utilizes the restored text established by The Library of America and features a new foreword by Edward P. Jones, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Known World.
Richard Wright was generally thought of as one of the most gifted contemporary African American writers until the rise of James Baldwin. "With Wright, the pain of being a Negro is basically economic---its sight is mainly in the pocket. With Baldwin, the pain suffuses the whole man. . . . If Baldwin's sights are higher than Wright's, it is in part because Wright helped to raise them" (Time). Wright was born on a plantation near Natchez, Mississippi, the son of a sharecropper. At the age of 15, he started to work in Memphis, then in Chicago, then "bummed all over the country," supporting himself by various odd jobs. His early writing was in the smaller magazines---first poetry, then prose. He won Story Story's $500 prize---for the best story written by a worker on the Writer's Project---with "Uncle Tom's Children" in 1938, his first important publication. He wrote Native Son (1940) in eight months, and it made his reputation. Based in part on the actual case of a young black murderer of a white woman, it was one of the first of the African American protest novels, violent and shocking in its scenes of cruelty, hunger, rape, murder, flight, and prison. Black Boy (1945) is the simple, vivid, and poignant story of Wright's early years in the South. It appeared at the beginning of a new postwar awareness of the evils of racial prejudice and did much to call attention to the plight of the African American. The Outsider (1953) is a novel based on Wright's own experience as a member of the Communist party, an affiliation he terminated in 1944. He remained politically inactive thereafter and from 1946 until his death made his principal residence in Paris. His nonfiction writings on problems of his race include Black Power: A Record of Reactions in a Land of Pathos (1954), about a visit to the Gold Coast, White Man, Listen (1957), and Twelve Million Black Voices: A Folk History of the Negro in the United States.

April 4, 2004
TUCSON, Ariz. - The No. 36 Arizona women's tennis team (5-10) took on the No. 54 Washington State Cougars (5-14) at home. The Wildcats won the doubles point by taking two of three doubles matches, and dominated in singles by winning all five completed matches. This gave Arizona the 6-0 victory over Washington State for its first Pac-10 win of the season.
In doubles action, in the first position the No. 7 ranked doubles team of juniors Maja Mlakar and Dianne Hollands dominated the team of Chris Martinez and Orsolya Sallai, 8-1. Arizona received its only loss of the afternoon on court 2 where senior Debbie Larocque and freshman Kasia Jakowlew were edged by Washington State's team of Lorena Arias and Zsofia Fodor, 8-6. On court 3, junior Kelly Perry and freshman Jessie Rochefort easily defeated the Cougars' team of Nora Gaal and Zorana Roganovic, 8-1.
In singles action, junior Dianne Hollands played in the familiar first position, and defeated Lorena Arias, 6-0, 6-1.

A petition gone viral on Change.org may have dental professionals hoping "Cavity Search" by Al Yankovic is played at the Superbowl next year.
A man named Ed Ball, who admits he was drunk at the time of typing it on Change.Org came up with an idea at a Sports Bar in Seattle to have Al Yankovic at the next Superbowl. Ball posted the idea on Change.org and the petition has over 107,000 people that have signed it within the last few days.The petition reads:
Tracy Perlman, NFL Vice President
April Donnelly, NFL Director
Greg Aiello, NFL Public Relations
Peter O'Reilly, NFL Vice President
Jaime Weston, NFL Vice President
Have Weird Al Yankovic headline the Super Bowl XLIX Halftime Show.
[Your name]
Al Yankovic parodies popular songs. The song "Cavity Search" by Yankovic is about dentistry and dental offices and is on the album called Bad Hair Day released in 1994. "Cavity Search" is a parody of "Hold me, thrill me, kiss me, kill me" by U2. The story goes that Yankovic actually brought in his very own dentist to the recording studio with a real drill and actual tooth.
The Weird Al Show theme song mentions that he met a dental hygienist with a spatula tattooed on her arm and didn't keep in touch and lost her number.
Today Ed Ball posted this:
We have reached out and left messages with NFL executives, the NFL PR department, as well as Weird Al and his representatives. We continue to wait for their responses and will post any updates received. You can continue to voice your support through Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and any other social media venues. Cheers!!!
Ed Ball's idea was to have the actual original artists of the songs he parodies be on stage with Yancovic at the Superbowl. It will be an interesting show if it happens.

I have a 3D polygon based on a set of faces. Each face lies in a single plane, and I know the normal for each face (as well as the points that create the face). I also know that each normal points "outward".
I need to figure out which faces contribute to the polygon being concave (if any).
For some reason I'm having a hard time conceiving this...
I first thought I might be able to simply check the dot-product of each neighbouring normal, and simply see which ones are < 0. But I guess this method would fail because the dot product between normals doesn't share information about whether two faces "face" eachother or not. In fact, I think I could even think of cases where the dot product of the normals is not consistent (i.e. some dot products >0 and some <0), and the polygon would still be convex.
For the 2D case I guess I could traverse the polygon in the order it was defined and just check the angles from one face to the next. In this case, the edges that contribute to the polygon being concave would be the faces that create an angle of larger than 180 degrees with their previous face.
I'm not even sure if this would even work in a 3D case.
Any pointers?

ZF-7944: Change urlencode to rawurlencode
I have route, for example, "/preview/:name", which at first call (/preview/my image.jpg) generates preview and save it at location /preview/my image.jpg, so the next call will not be handled by PHP but statically outputed by Apache. The problem is that uri "/preview/my image.jpg" after encoding becomes "/preview/my+image.jpg", which is correctly handled by PHP, but can not be recognized by Apache. This problem is fixed in rawurlencode(), why not to use it in Zend_Controller_Router_Route?
Where exactly would you be suffering from this? When creating a url by using the url-viewhelper? If so; you can set an escape parameter to false, I assume that would solve your problem.
The major difference between rawurlencode() and urlencode is that rawurlencode() has more respect to encoding when it comes to the space character. The rawurlencode() function encodes this to "%20" where urlencode() doesn't (it encodes to a "+"). This can be a problem since "+" is a special character and it doesn't decode properly across all URI schemes (although if you stay within a PHP application, this doesn't pose a problem).
RFC 3986 states that the following characters are reserved: ";" | "/" | "?" | ":" | "@" | "&" | "=" | "+" | "$" | "," and that they need to be escaped, so using a "+" to "encode" a space is actually incorrect.
Using rawurlencode() over urlencode() also offers greater compatibility, a proof of concept: http://codepad.org/XiLAeHvI
Since both functions are used within ZF I vote to replace all use of urlencode() to rawurlencode() in all instances, and their decoding counterfeit.
RFC3986 - http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986 RFC2396 - http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2396
this is currently a problem for me. I have a route defined as follows:
resources.router.routes.vehicleguide.type = "Zend_Controller_Router_Route" resources.router.routes.vehicleguide.route = "used auto parts/make/:make/:model" resources.router.routes.vehicleguide.defaults.controller = guide resources.router.routes.vehicleguide.defaults.action = vehicle resources.router.routes.vehicleguide.defaults.make = null resources.router.routes.vehicleguide.defaults.model = null
URLS like this resolve correctly: /used+auto+parts/make/volkswagen/jetta-gli
URLS like this (encoded spaces) do not: /used%2Bauto%2Bparts/make/volkswagen/jetta-gli
Is this something which can be fixed in ZFv1 without breaking existing apps? If so I can help move it forward.

BOZEMAN, Mont. - The defending national champion University of Colorado ski team finished second here Saturday in the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Ski Association Championships, but more importantly, qualified a full 12-skier squad for next month's NCAA Championships thanks to one of the greatest individual CU efforts in recent memory.
Utah, ranked No. 1 in the nation, won the title with 932 points, followed by the Buffaloes with 862.5. New Mexico pulled ahead of host Montana State by winning the men's slalom and finished with 768.5 points, while MSU was fourth with 750; Denver rounded out the top five with 716. The competition also doubled as the NCAA West Regional.
The Utes' margin of victory over the Buffs was 69.5 points, the bulk of which can be traced to the women's giant slalom (61.5); Utah won three other disciplines as did CU, with the two rivals tying in the other in the eight-event meet.
Utah is the first team to win all five western meets since Denver in 2005, just the fourth time that has happened since skiing went coed in 1983. The other western sweeps were accomplished in 1989 (Utah) and in 1995 (Colorado); all but the '89 Utes went on to win the NCAA crown. CU finished second four times and Denver once, while individually, Utah skiers won 18 and Colorado 13, far ahead of the pack for the 45 races.
Conditions worsened as the day progressed, with no precipitation at the start of the men's cross country race with snow beginning during the competition until it there were virtual blizzard conditions by the end of the women's cross country race.
"The main goal for us was to improve the seeding and the side benefit is (if you can win) the RMISA," CU head coach Richard Rokos said. "Coming into today's race with a solid deficit to Utah, we achieved both goals pretty well. We stayed in second place in the team standings but we improved the start position for two skiers in the slalom. There were a few misfortunes and ups and downs, but everybody feels satisfied and prepared for NCAAs."
Rokos, in his 22nd year as head coach of the Buffaloes, has seen his teams win 11 RMISA titles, with Saturday's runner-up showing the eighth time CU has finished second. Now his squad will set its sights on a seventh national championship in his tenure.
The story of the day for Colorado was junior Nordic skier Mary Rose. Having never posted a top 10 finish in her collegiate career and faced with the challenge of finishing at least eighth if not higher in the women's 15-kilometer classical race to have a chance at qualifying for next month's NCAA Championships, she responded with the best race of her career. The Steamboat Springs native skied to a fifth place finish in 1 hour, 3 minutes and 20.2 seconds, qualifying for nationals as the 17th and final cross country performer in the west and in the process, enabled CU to qualify a full 12-skier team to defend its title here in two weeks.
"My strategy today was to go out there and stay in the lead pack and stay there as long as possible," Rose said. "I thought I was going to fall off but I didn't. The men's team stayed and cheered us on and that was huge. I figured if it was my last race so I may as well just go for it. I pulled a good one out."
How close was it in the end? It looked to be a battle between Rose and Montana State's Casey Kutz for that final spot; but the two rallied well past a pair of DU performers this weekend and both wound up advancing to the NCAA's. Rose secured the spot by two points in the final standings over both DU women, the difference ultimately being 16.4 seconds between her fifth place finish and a seventh place one in the classic that would have kept her home.
"Mary qualifying is awesome ... for her to do that much better in classic was going to be tough," CU Nordic Coach Bruce Cranmer said. "It was snowing so hard, there was no real strategy we were just hoping for the best. She got out in front and then things started separating. Often when you're out in front, things do separate. She was on the right side of all the separations. If she had been in 10th place and the group spreads out, all those splits keep spreading out and she may have got passed by a few more skiers. When things get tough, Mary's a fighter. She just toughed it out."
While a few teams have won national titles without a full complement of skiers, Rose's qualifying could mean as many as 40 to 50 additional points for Colorado between the two races, a significant number. It also eases the pressure a bit off the other 11 who will be competing; the coaches will officially name who is going on Monday.
"The star of the show for today was Mary Rose with her fifth place," Rokos said. "We were all holding our breath for her and we knew it would take a miracle, but it happened. There's nothing you can do on the Nordic side like you can in alpine as far as tinkering with starting positions. They have to go out and do it, and she did. It's great to come with full strength to NCAAs and it adds to everybody's confidence."
"We've gone without a full team before, but that was because we didn't have anybody close," Cranmer commented. "This is the first time we've had somebody that close to the final spot. It's not that I didn't think it was possible, but it was a long shot. It was too complicated to try and calculate who could affect the results. Mary didn't just have to beat somebody, she also had to be 'X' number of points better than somebody else would pick up."
Alaska and Utah joined Colorado in qualifying full 12-skier teams from the west; Montana State and New Mexico qualified 11 and Denver 10.
Utah's Maria Graefnings captured her second regional crown, cruising around the course in 1:01:17.5 to add the classical title to her freestyle win on Friday. CU senior Eliska Hajkova was second as she was in Friday, grabbing the silver podium spot in a 1:01:52.4 time; she'll be out to defend her NCAA individual crown in the classic on this same course next month. DU's Kate Dolan, who finished third, led after the first two laps before Graefnings and Hajkova overtook her early on third one.
"Tactically, Eliska felt if things had gone a little differently she would've had a shot at winning," Cranmer said. "She worked pretty hard in the middle of the race. When you realize where you're going to finish, in this case second place and well ahead of third, you don't go all out. When you're leading in that instance, you may push harder longer in fear of being caught. She knew she was far enough ahead that she wouldn't catch Maria but had a good cushion behind her in front of third."
Junior Joanne Reid was 10th in 1:04:00.3, giving the Buffs three top10 finishers in a women's Nordic race this winter. She'll race in her third NCAA meet, where she has finished in the top 10 in all four of her previous races, including three top five efforts. Senior Katie Stege (22nd, 1:08:29.5) and freshman Marianne Madsen (25th, 1:08:48.5) completed the CU effort Saturday.
In the men's 20-kilometer classical race, freshman Rune Oedegaard recorded his third straight win and fifth overall, along with his ninth podium finish, in a 1:02:03.0 clocking; he held off Montana State's David Norris by two seconds in a spring at the end.
"The snow made it really hard to go in front of the pack," Oedegaard said. "I figured there was no need to use extra energy. I went really easy on the uphills and went all out on the flats. David Norris went pretty hard up the last hill and I just kind of followed. Then on the downhill I worked hard to be first coming into the stadium, then it was just going hard and sprinting to the end."
"Rune said his skis were great before it started snowing and maybe they weren't quite as fast at the end of the race with the snow was accumulating," Cranmer said. "When you get a change in the weather like that it makes waxing a challenge. It's a gamble guessing if it was going to snow or not and how you wax."
"It means a lot to sweep the races here," Oedegaard said in becoming the third Buff to sweep the regional races in the last five years, joining Kit Richmond (2008) and Matt Gelso (2010); otherwise, you have to go back to 1993 for the last sweep before this run (Bjorn Svensson did the honors that year). "Hopefully I'll be in even better shape coming back for NCAA's. The plan the whole time is to be in the best shape for NCAA's. I wasn't planning on being on top at this point in the season so I hope there's still some room for improvement in two weeks."
The CU men also placed three in the top 10, and bolstering Oedegaard's win were sophomore Andreas Hoye (seventh, 1:02:45.9) and senior Vegard Kjoelhamar (ninth, 1:03:14.8). Senior Reid Pletcher (16th, 1:05:50.0), junior Ian Mallams (21st, 1:0701.1) and freshman Arnaud De Pasquier (23rd, 1:08:04.7) and junior Ian Mallams (20th, 27:38.7) completed the Buffalo men's efforts here.
In the men's slalom, freshman Adam Zika posted CU's best effort in an alpine race for the fifth time this year, as he finished fourth in a two-run time of 1:55.97. It was also his top finish in the slalom as a collegian, besting a ninth-place showing at DU's Invitational in Winter Park last month. New Mexico's Christopher Acosta won in 1:55.41.
Sophomore Fletcher McDonald finished ninth in 1:57.24, as he used the fifth-fastest second run time (58.67) to move up from 19th after his morning run to secure his fourth top 10 effort in the slalom this winter.
Senior Taggart Spenst was CU's third and final scorer, with his 1:59.19 time netting him 18th place. Sophomore Andreas Haug, initially disqualified after his first run but then reinstated, was 22nd in 2:01.41. Junior Max Lamb did not finish his second run, but had started well down the line (33rd) as once again the coaches tinkered with the order in the usual attempt to improve the seeds for those qualified for the NCAA's.
The women's slalom wrapped the meet, with CU the only school to place three finishers in the top 10. All were seniors, led by Carolina Nordh in fourth with a 1:38.15 time. Right behind her in fifth was Erika Ghent (1:38.70) and then Katie Hartman in eighth (1:39.59).
It wasn't enough to topple the Utes however, as a 1-3 finish led by Anna Kocken's winning time of 1:37.50 was enough for Utah to edge the Buffs in the race by 119-113.
Rounding out the CU contingent were senior Jennifer Allen (24th, 2:00.71), junior Khyla Burrows (25th, 2:01.95) and freshman Shane McLean (29th, 2:18.71).
As Rokos stated, the regional has morphed into more about improving seeds and qualifying skiers for the NCAA Championships than winning the title. Both Nordh and Zika accomplished the former, improving their positions for the slalom at nationals.
Next up are the NCAA Championships, which will be held on these very same courses in the Bozeman area in two weeks (March 7-10). Colorado will be gunning to win its 19th title in the sport (18th NCAA) and the seventh since 1983 when the men's and women's programs were combined. CU last won back-to-back titles in 1998-99.
"In those four days at NCAAs anything can happen," Rokos said. "We won in 2006 without a full squad, but it's unpredictable. It's a confidence builder for everybody to come here and race this weekend and see the same courses we will compete on in two weeks.
"Our main goal the next few days will be to catch up in school," he added. "We'll start training (alpine) on Wednesday and then we'll travel back up here Saturday. The traveling team will come here Saturday and start training right away."
As for the Nordic preparations, "There's not a lot to do," Cranmer said. "We'll do some hard skiing but not a lot. Everybody I think is happy with where they are."
NCAA East Regional: No. 2 Vermont captured the EISA Championship/NCAA East Regional with 955 points, pulling away from No. 3 Dartmouth (848); UVM won four of the six eastern meets this winter, with Dartmouth snaring the other two. Host Middlebury and New Hampshire tied for third with 724.5 points, with Williams rounding out the top five (539.5).

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Senior libero and four-year starter Bethany Yeager broke the 23-year-old University of Iowa career digs record with a 13 dig performance in the Hawkeyes' 3-0 loss to No. 19 Michigan on Friday night on Mediacom Court in Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The previous record of 1,931 was set by Janet Moylan in 1990.
"It definitely just goes back to my teammates," Yeager said. "I give all the credit to my coaches and my teammates for believing in me and putting me in a position to get this award. My teammates deserve this award just as much as anybody. So, I just want to say thank you to my teammates, my coaches, and the fans. It means a lot."
The Hawkeyes used kills from Alex Lovell, Rachael Bedell, and Nikki Dailey to stay within one of the Wolverines early in set one, but Michigan used a four-point run to pull ahead 11-6. Iowa used a three-point rally to cut the deficit to three with a Lovell kill, an attack error, and an Erin Leppek and Erin Radke dual block, but could not close the gap as the Wolverines took the set, 25-18.
After the Wolverines opened with the first two points, Iowa used kills from Bedell and Lovell to even the second set 2-2. The Michigan offense fired back with a 3-0 run, which was halted by a Radke kill. Yeager collected her third dig of the match on the play to break the Iowa career digs record.
"It's cool that Bethany got the record tonight," head coach Sharon Dingman said. "It's great for her. I know it's something she's wanted. She's worked really hard to get it, so it was nice to see her accomplish that goal."
An additional Radke kill and a Lovell kill followed to bring the Hawkeyes within one of the Wolverines, 6-5, but Michigan answered by outscoring Iowa 9-2 to pull away. Faced with a nine-point deficit, 21-12, Iowa used a five-point drive fueled by a pair of Lovell kills, a Lauren Brobst kill, and a Lovell and Leppek duo block to force a Wolverine time out.
Michigan returned to the court with a three-point stretch to reach set point, 24-17, but the Hawkeyes continued to fight back with a 4-0 run generated by a Leppek kill, a Bedell and Leppek block, and a pair of opponent errors. The Wolverines recorded the final point in the end, taking the second set 25-20.
The Wolverines outhit the Hawkeyes .250 to .024 and never trailed en route to their 25-14 set three win, which solidified Michigan's 3-0 match victory. With the loss, Iowa drops to 10-17 overall and 1-14 in Big Ten play. Michigan moves to 17-9 overall and 7-8 in conference action with the win.
Lovell paced the Hawkeye offense with 12 kills and Leppek led the way with a .444 hitting percentage and four blocks in the match. Bedell reached the double digit mark with 10 kills, and Nikki Dailey dished out a team-high 17 assists. Yeager posted a team-most 13 digs, which makes 1,942 digs the new Iowa career digs record.
The Hawkeyes continue Big Ten action against No. 16 Michigan State on Saturday, Nov. 16 at 7 p.m. CT on Mediacom Court in Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The match will be shown live on Mediacom's MC22 and on BTN.com.

Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be - Recap
<-- Previous Episode
Next Episode -->
The episode begins with a dream sequence featuring Hank's old pal, Lew Ashby. It's a dark, red bar supposed to represent hell from the look of things, and apparently this is where Hank imagines himself ending up, for all the deeds he has done. Back in the real world, Hank arrives at Karen and Bates' house to make sure Bates, comes clean with Karen, about all he has done recently, as he feels it's only fair that Karen know about all his exploits. Bates tells Karen that he needs to be free and that he is not capable of staying married, a fact he has discovered after his recent exploits, and the two are equally relieved from the looks of it, Bates with having come clean, and gotten rid of his guilt and with Karen no more feeling guilty about still harboring feelings for Hank.
Before leaving for good, Bates tells Hank and Karen they should be together, as they were always meant to be; thus echoing something that both Hank and Karen had in their minds. Thus, the two might end up being together once again, from how things are shaping up. Immediately cashing in on her renewed single identity, Karen allows Hank back into her bed, something that she probably wanted all along, from how things appear. Hank too plays along readily, as he too no longer has to suffer the guilt of betraying Bates in any way. Later, Hank takes a familiar father-daughter walk with Becca by the Venice canals, going over how she made the right decision to dump Tyler, as he was bad news from the beginning; Hank is visibly relieved that she has gotten rid of him at last.
But Becca has a shock in store for him, before long, Becca breaks the news to Hank that Tyler countered her breakup with an offer to marry him – eventually – and that she agreed; Hank is not only shocked but horrified to hear this, and reacts accordingly. After puking into the river, Hank says goodbye to his seriously delusional daughter; as he is at a loss and doesn't know how to react to the whole situation, anymore. Meanwhile, Runkle and Marci are having a chat about Lizzie, and Marci tricks Charlie into admitting that Stu was cheating; something that she was suspecting all along, and he has just managed to confirm her apprehensions. The exes start out for the set to confront their cheaters, as they apparently have had enough, and it might lead to a huge showdown, from how things are shaping up. Meanwhile, Sam is locked in his trailer where Hank joins him, pining over Cali who admitted to him that she was messing around with Tyler; much to his anger and dismay. Sam is waving his piece around and threatening to bring the Sam Apocalypse; as he is simply unable to stomach the fact that Cali did this to him, and is hell bent on retribution.
Hank calms him down, for the time being, and urges him not to do anything foolish, as it would only make matters worse, and get him into unnecessary trouble. After shooting commences, Tyler can't seem to get with the program and continues to flirt with Cali in view of Sam; enraging him further. Enraged, Sam grabs Tyler by the throat and has had just about enough of his ways; from how things look. Hank gets in between Sam's loaded gun and Tyler's chest, and begins to spew off about his and Cali's relationship, just so that he can prevent Sam from doing something foolish, and in the process manages to take his attention away from Tyler. Sam is obviously enraged to no end on hearing Hank's confession, and just when Sam raises his gun to fire at Hank, Runkle arrives and dives in front of the bullet, Secret Service-style.
Meanwhile, Marci gives Stu a piece of her mind for all his transgressions, Tyler thanks Hank for literally saving his life, and Cali is moved by Sam's display of affection for which he would go to the lengths of killing someone, and lastly Hank forgives Charlie at long last, as he can't stay angry at him, now that he has saved his life. Thus, all the things seem to have fallen in place, and wrapped up nicely. Later at Charlie's, Hank is surprised by his crazy ex, Kari. She's lost her job and is back to ask Hank one question, which she seemed to have in her mind all along – if he ever actually loved her. He says no and Kari convinces him to stay for one drink. She begins to act irregularly, seeing this Hank is immediately on the alert, and realizes that she has digested an entire handful of pills, much to his shock and dismay.
Moments later, Hank begins to pass out and it's clear that his crazy past has once again caught up to him from the look of things, this time perhaps for the last time. Kari it turns out has planned a romantic double-suicide for them, and hence has spiked both their drinks. She tells him to tell her that he loves her. He hallucinates and thinks that Carrie is Karen. He says that he loves her and the episode ends at this point.

1931, French Indochina: A French widow and her two children eke out a living from rice fields located perilously close to the ocean. Every year, their fields are flooded with sea water and their crops are destroyed. Their only hope seems to be the construction of a seawall. The mother refuses to give up, battling both nature and the local colonial bureaucrats. Her 20-year-old son, an angry young man, is equally determined, but it is the teenaged daughter Suzanne who proves to be most stubborn. One day, her willowy beauty catches the attention of a rich, well-dressed Chinese man. As Monsieur Jo's interest in Suzanne verges toward obsession, her mother and brother find themselves in a quandary: Monsieur Jo could provide the financial security they need, but he is Chinese, and racial prejudice is a fact of life in their society.

The Bruins improved to 3-0 with an 86-50 victory over Sacramento State on Monday, Nov. 18. Jordan Adams led the team in scoring for the third consecutive game, totaling 21 points and a career-high eight steals. David Wear (12 pts, 10 rbs) registered his second double-double in three games. Norman Powell and Zach LaVine each scored 14 points, while Tony Parker added 10 points. UCLA shot 54.5 percent (30-55), while limiting the visiting Hornets to 33.9 percent from the field (21-62). Kyle Anderson dished a career-high eight assists in the victory.
Jordan Adams' career-high eight steals against Sacramento State are the most in any game by a UCLA player since Nov. 28, 2006, when Darren Collison had nine in a non-conference home victory against Long Beach State. Adams had seven steals in one game last season and five steals in three contests.
UCLA will host one more regional round contest of the Las Vegas Invitational this Sunday evening against Chattanooga. Game time in Pauley Pavilion will be 7 p.m. The Bruins will continue play in the tournament next week at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, facing Nevada on Thursday, Nov. 28, before taking on Northwestern on Friday, Nov. 29.
With three games under their belt, the Bruins have opened the year shooting at a 50.8 percent clip. Tony Parker has logged a team-high 73.9 field goal percentage (17-of-23), while Norman Powell has made 68.2 percent of his field goal attempts (15-of-22). UCLA has limited its opposition to a 34.2 field goal percentage and a 23.1 percent from three-point territory (18-for-78). Jordan Adams leads the team with a 52.9 three-point field goal percentage, having nailed nine of 17 treys. In 36 career contests, Adams has shot 32.9 percent from three-point range.
This marks the second consecutive season in which Jordan Adams has opened the year scoring in double digits in each of UCLA's first three games. Last November, Adams became the first freshman in program history to score at least 20 points in his first four collegiate contests. This season, he scored 16 against Drexel (Nov. 8), 22 versus Oakland (Nov. 12) and 21 against Sacramento State (Nov. 18). Adams has scored at least 10 points in 28 of 36 collegiate games and has reached the 20-point plateau in 13 career contests.
Senior Travis Wear underwent appendectomy surgery on Oct. 28 and is expected to return to the lineup on Friday against Morehead State. Wear returned to practice on Wednesday, Nov. 20. Freshman Noah Allen suffered multiple fractures to his face after a collision with one of Oakland's players on Nov. 12. He underwent surgery on Nov. 14. A timetable for his return has not been determined. Freshman Wanaah Bail underwent left knee surgery to repair torn cartilage on June 28. He has been participating in shooting exercises and non-contact drills and has been cleared for limited practice.
Ranked No. 22 in this week's Associated Press poll, UCLA returns to the court this fall with six of its primary eight contributors from last season's team. Three of UCLA's five starters return from last season's team – sophomores Jordan Adams and Kyle Anderson and senior Travis Wear – along with senior David Wear, junior Norman Powell and sophomore Tony Parker, who each played at least 33 of 35 games for UCLA last season.
Kyle Anderson has come within three assists of recording a triple-double in three games at UCLA. He twice finished three assists shy of the coveted mark in Dec. 2012. Anderson had 12 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists in UCLA's 72-67 season-opening win over Drexel on Nov. 8. The sophomore from Fairview, N.J., is looking to become the first UCLA player to record a point-rebound-assist triple-double since Toby Bailey had 23 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists against Stephen F. Austin during his sophomore season (Dec. 18, 1995).
Affectionately dubbed "instant offense" by classmate Kyle Anderson, sophomore Jordan Adams has scored in double figures in 28 of his 36 career games. Adams averaged 15.3 points per game last season and scored a team-high 21 points last Monday night in UCLA's 86-50 win over Sacramento State. Adams has led UCLA in scoring 16 times (15 times by himself, once tied with two teammates) over the team's last 38 games.

Hi my dear readers! I apologize for the silence on the blog. But as summer winds down, we squeezed in a family vacation to the Berkshires and VT. Not too mention a website redesign (yes, we are getting a make-over but that's for another post) and several events have been keeping me busy. Since I missed yesterday's post, I decided to give you a Bat Mitzvah feature today.
When I stumbled o this equestrian themed Bat Mitzvah on The Martha Blog I was truly impressed. It is truly a reflection of the young lady who wanted green glitter and took an active roll in planning it with her mother. I love the fresh take on white and green. This is definitely a high-end mitzvah celebration, but I do think there are lots of element here that you can use that won't break the bank. Read on and I'll tell you how!
Guests were greeted by these stunning horses borrowed from Bergdorff Goodman, a department store in NYC.
These pictures are definitely drool worthy, so sit back and enjoy! The Bat Mitzvah was held at Center 548 in Chelsea neighborhood of NYC. The photos were taken by Donna Newman.
|The horses were covered in natural elements…moss, stone, flowers,etc. The hoof were glitzy with diamonds.
|The fabric used in the decor is a green horseshoe pattern.
|Yes, even the ping pong table is glittered up and serve as one of the entertainment options for the kids.
|Entertainment also included a Japanese schultor and a roller coaster simulation ride
|The bar table was decorated with tho of these flower made equestrian trophies. Notice how the two horseshoe's from the letter E for Emma.
|There was lots of sparkle on these horseshoes!
|This was the kids' dining area. I love how the "flower arrangements" were candy. If you look closely you'll see green gummy rings, bubble gum, etc. Plus these tables got the same treatment as the pin-pong tables.
|The parents' dining area…check out the mirrors running along the wall!
|Adult menu
|Kids' menu
Dessert included a rice pudding bar from Rice to Riches. These place makes the best rice pudding ever!
There was also a candy bar for the kids….
|the favor bags looked like feed bags.

Oral History: Connecting Through Time
Through recorded oral histories, we preserve information that is not found in data tables, census records, or even preserved media. During the Great Depression, my great-grandfather actually attended and graduated high school twice, but this is not recorded by the government. His younger brother had found a job to help support the family, but was still required by law to finish his schooling. Jobs were hard to find and important to keep so for the sake of his family, my great-grandfather went back to finish high school for his brother. This story is an oral history passed down through my family. It is a story that would be lost without word of mouth and is not in any official record. If you were to look for a graduation record for Raymond Haber, you would only find one......continue reading.

March 28, 2011
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. -- Washington junior forward Brendan Sherrer was named honorable mention on the 2011 Pac-10 Conference Men's Basketball All-Academic teams, announced today by Commissioner Larry Scott. To be eligible for selection to the academic team, a student-athlete must have a minimum 3.0 overall grade-point average and be either a starter or significant contributor.
Sherrer, from Monroe, Wash. (Archbishop Murphy HS), boasts a 3.09 grade point average and is majoring in biology. He hopes to enter dental school upon graduation from the University of Washington.
On the court, Sherrer played in 13 games and averaged 2.5 minutes in those appearances. He scored 4 points and grabbed 3 rebounds during the season.
Sherrer joined the team in October of 2009 after making the team during open walk-on tryouts. The one-time member of the Dawg Pack has become a fan favorite and has been annointed the "Human Victory Cigar" by some members of the media. In his 23 career appearances, Washington has won all those games by at least 18 points.
It marks the 18th time in UW men's basketball history that a player has been honored academically by the Pac-10 Conference.

Fort Collins Parkwood Ward youth were recently challenged by President Rulon Stacey to trust their Heavenly Father, set their goals high and fulfill their potential.
"Nothing is happenstance, you are placed where you are for a reason," said Stacey. He showed the youth that God puts them in certain circumstances for a purpose, as shown in Isaiah 28:
24 Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground?
25 When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place?
26 For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.
"We are the ones planted by the plowman. Some of us are wheat, some are barley, rie, cummin, and so forth. God places us where we are because he knows we will grow best there."
The youth were encouraged, when they set their goals for this coming year, to fully understand what it is God wants them to be and live up to their promise. "If you are a wheat, be the best wheat you can be. If you're a fitch, or a rie, be the best fitch or rie."
President Stacey further advised the youth to not judge themselves against others around them. "If you are a cummin," he said, "don't compare yourself to the rie over there." They are planted in the lowlands, where moisture seems more plentiful. "Yeah, they get a lot of water, but they also get a lot of salt."
Verse 27 states, "For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod." Stacey counseled, "Don't even dare question him! God will do whatever needs to be done to get the best out of you. Let him do it! He knows what is best for you, and he knows how to help you get the most out of your life."
Stacey closed by referring to Leviticus 26:3-12. It is our charge to walk in God's statutes, and keep his commandments. When we do, we will be abundantly blessed in due time. We will still have our hardships and challenges to endure, for that is why we are here, to be tested. But we are assured that we can be victorious, and we are promised that with his help, we will become all we are destined to become.

The Sharp 85-inch TV revealed at the CES 2014 is a big one, one of the biggest TVs yet made for the consumer market. While the overall size of the Sharpe 85-inch new offering is a jaw-dropper, this TV offers something else to get excited about, according to 14U News on Jan. 7
The 85-inch TV, called the Aquos Quattron Plus, offers an 8k resolution that allows you to experience 3-D TV without wearing the 3-D glasses. This new Aquos Quattron Plus has 16 times the resolution of the standard HGTVs on the market today.
It appears that the Sharp 85-inch may have jumped ahead of the technology needed to broadcast the movies, shows, sports and other venues on TV in this extreme definition. Satellite TV carriers would need to launch an entirely new satellite to bring justice to the picture the new 85-inch TV offers.
According to The Inquisitr, even the cable or fiber-based TV providers aren't fully up to par when it comes to delivering this definition on steroids. It appears that the technology inside this new TV set needs to wait for the external providers to step into the future with their picture delivery systems.
Until that happens, this new TV cannot be utilized to its fullest potential by the consumer. There's not time frame revealed for the 85-inch TV to hit the market, so maybe by the time it does, the world will be ready to provide the technology needed to watch it in its 3-D glory!
Another fly in the ointment has to do with what the consumer will see with this extreme definition. Will the human eye even notice the difference? This is a question asked by The Inquisitr. They also suggests that this TV might serve the consumer best for enjoying the high definition if they are closer to it. So it might need to go into a smaller living room rather than a grand family room to realize its full potential with definition.

My friends' kids are too rough with my baby. What should I do?
My friends' and relatives' children hover around my new baby, constantly touching her head and face, asking to hold her, and tugging on her arms and legs. Their parents don't correct their behavior, and it's very nerve-wracking for me. Am I overreacting, or should I say something?

lead by example . if there parents wont correct them try and do it yourself but in a polite way . when they first come over i would tell them that its time to play the handwashing game and take them all to the sink and help them out . next i would sit with the baby in my lap on the floor at there level and give them each a turn to come say hello to the baby. while they were you should explain ina kind way things that are okay and not okay. for example " oh , its so sweet you want to touch the babies cheek but everybody has germs maybe it would be okay if we just rub his tummy instead?" or if they try to hold him say sweetly" lets just let him sit on my lap for now he is still to little for everybody to hold him ... maybe you would like to help me change his diaper or feed him when he is hungry instead?" children respond better when given another option instead of just being told no all together . also by voiceing this infront of there parents im sure they will eventuly get the point.posted 12/29/2011 by chase23nj
IDk I Feel Tha Same With My Nephewsposted 12/09/2011 by Jacy_1010
You should say something. A little girl tried to touch my baby and I grabbed her hand and said "no" very sternly. Her mom came over and apologized. If I just sat back and let her, the little girl would have done who knows what! I also tell people they are rocking him too hard when I don't like what they are doing. I know babies are durable, but I am taking any chances. I hate when people are holding him and keep patting his back. He isn't fussing and hasn't eaten... so I just want to yell for them to stop hitting him. Goodness, he is a baby.... you can just hold him. You don't need to constantly bounce, rock, or pat on a baby. You can just hold and cuddle them. People are just idiots. I think I used to be one of them. I think I used to stand and bounce up and down while holding babies. We are trained to do that. But newborns are different. Which is probably why people don't let others hold their newborns! ha!posted 11/21/2011 by mbortner21
My sister in-law is one year old and is extreamly violent. when she reaches for my baby i tell her nice and she pets her. as soon as i see her lift her hand about to hit her i tell her naughty. her parents don't watch her so when she gets to my baby and pokes her or pulls her hair i slap her hand tell her naughty and give her to her parents. My suggestion is to tell the child's parents to watch their kids or you will discipline them!! that's what i do and it seems to work.posted 07/24/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
HIS PARENTS SHOULD HAVE KEPT A CLOSER EYE ON HIM, ALSO PUT STRICT BOUNDARIES FOR HIM TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE... I MIGHT BE TOO STRICT AS A PARENT (as i have heard before, but dont mind because no one else is going to raise my sons but me) BUT THEM BEING MY "FRIENDS" THEY SHOULD KNOW BETTER... SPECIALLY JUST TO LET HIM RUN ROUND WILD LIKE HE HAS NO HOME TRAINING TOUCHING STUFF, BEGGING FOR ATTENTION, AND STICKING HIS FINGERS WHERE THEY DONT BELONG... ESPECIALLY ON UR BABY!!posted 12/29/2010 by calirocker
hello!!!!! thats your baby, your responsible for her. She depends on you. i just had my first child 5wks ago. her father has 3 kids from ages 3 to 8. they are always asking to hold her and touch her and the answer was then and still NO! I barely let adults hold herv besides my mother,sister,her father, and her aunt. You dont want just anyone touching and picking her up. Kids especially, they cough and sneeze without washing their hands. you dont want all those germs arnd her.posted 06/25/2010 by Taszera
Get used to people being mad and sharing/forcing their opinions on you about what is ok and not ok with your baby. Start sticking up for what you think now, be clear, firm, and repetitive if people don't get it, so it doesn't continue.posted 12/15/2009 by a BabyCenter Member
I have a 15 month old, and have had the same problem beginning with hospital visits of other people's children when he was born. It almost seems like some children have this barbaric mean streak. I've had children who are excited and try to be gentle, but are a little too rough, to other children that seem to blatantly be mean, (kick his toys, take things from him, grab at his face...) and then there's some who are genuinely gentle and careful. I'm expecting baby number 2, and will be watching my 15 month old carefully with him, who knows how he will be, but am not afraid to say anything to other parents who don't see the aggresiveness of their own children. It's been to the point that I don't even like to go over people's houses with little kids, because it is awkard correcting someonelse's kids behavior. But it's either that or stay home. I wish people paid more attention and picked up on subtle cues...not happening. Good luck!posted 12/15/2009 by a BabyCenter Member

- 2 1/2 tablespoons Essence, plus more for dusting
- 1 1/4 cups Homemade Buttermilk
- 4 cups vegetable oil
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 5 cups mixed green and red leaf lettuces, washed and patted dry, torn into pieces
- 1 cup mixed baby yellow and red grape tomatoes, or halved cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup arugula leaves, washed and patted dry
- 1 red pepper, roasted, peeled, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch slices
- Buttermilk Parmesan Dressing
- Spiced Walnuts
- Preheat a grill.
- Lightly brush corn, artichoke hearts, and red onions with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on grill and grill until tender. Remove corn from grill and remove kernels from the cob. Remove artichokes from grill and slice into 1/4-inch thick slices. Set all aside.
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the Essence. Add the buttermilk and let marinate at room temperature for 1 hour, or refrigerate and marinate for 3 hours.
- Preheat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet or large saute pan to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the flour with the remaining 1 tablespoon of Essence in a paper bag. Remove the chicken pieces from the buttermilk and add to the bag in batches, tossing to coat with the seasoned flour. Shake to remove any excess breading and place on a plate until ready to fry.
- Add to the hot oil in batches and cook, turning, until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season lightly with Essence.
- Combine the lettuces, tomatoes, arugula, red peppers, corn, and artichokes in a large bowl and toss with 1/2 cup of the dressing, or more to taste. Divide between 4 large plates and top with the fried chicken and spiced nuts. Arrange the grilled onion rings over the top, drizzle with the remaining dressing, and serve.

Here's a handy little address book in either hardbound or softbound version, filled with images of the ruby-throated hummingbirds that make their way through my part of southeast Texas during their migration from as far north as Canada on down to Central America and Mexico. Also included in this little book are fun and interesting facts about hummingbirds in general and ruby-throated hummingbirds in particular.
I have a "day job", but my "night job" and serious hobby is photography. I've been a photographer since high school (eons ago). I inherited my love of the medium from my father, who in his day used his Mamiya twin-lens reflex to capture Ansel Adams-worthy scenes of my home state of Montana. My first digital camera was a 2MP point-and-shoot from a local store. Since then, I have never looked back to film. I've traveled and/or lived in Montana, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California,New Mexico, Colorado, Kentucky, Louisiana, Texas, Western Canada, London, and Ireland. I hope to do much more travel and photograph many more things before all is said and done.
