MY MS and mother-in-law... Need opinions
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
I have had MS for a little over five and half years now. On top of that, I have 3 kids and a great husband.
Ok, so here's my story, please let me know of your opinions. My mother-in-law has never really acknowledged that I have MS until a month ago. For some reason, she decided that she was goin to help me with my household duties. I found this very odd, but took her up in helping me out. So after about a month of her coming over unexpectedly, sending texts saying what we were going to do that day and when, telling me how to parent my children and doing things that were of no help. These things of no help made it where I would have to clean up te mess when she left. For ex. She decided to go through all my kids winter clothes, remind you this is August. Therefore, I have many trash bags full of my children's winter clothes that she says need to be donated, now I have to go through all of these bags to make sure I'm not giving any clothes away that still fit or that are brand new. (she says I have way too many clothes in my house, there are 5 of us, so yeah that seems about right). Anyway, Sunday, she came over while I was gone to get my oldest from a friends house. When I got home, she had folded clothes. Yes nice gesture... But I have already told her multiple times that I make stacks for each person in the house so that they can put their own clothes up. Well, the clothes were all messed up in multiple stacks. She had not put them in a stack for each. This aggravated me to no return. So I started fixing the stacks and started to cry. My husband then got aggravated at me, so you can imagine this caused an arguement. I told him that she only does things her way, disrespects the way I do things in my house and tells me how to treat my kids. (she says that I should always be up their butts and yelling at them constantly). So my husband and I agreed that he would say something to her about it. Well, he did on Sunday. Yesterday, because I can't stand to hurt anyone's feelings or have anyone mad at me, I sent her a text saying that I do appreciate her help, but I have my certain ways of doing things like she has her ways at her house. I also said that I don't want our relationship to go down hill because of this. And that she is like a mom to me. Well 30 mins later, she responded and said I overstepped my boundaries and it won't happe

I really hope this does not affect your relationship with her. It sounds like to me that she does understand. Maybe next time when you do need her help, you will be able to tell her and she will accept the way you do it. It is good that your husband was willing to step in and talk to her. I wish you the best.

This sounds like a carbon copy of my MIL. I know I'm odd in that I don't want her touching/my undergarments & bras. My daughter is now saying the same thing. She use to come over. & watch my daughter until the bus came. My husband & I have both told her nicely not to to touch or do anything, but she still does. It took until we verbally had it out one day before I left for work. We came to the agreement that we r 2 completely different people that want their house the way they want it.
So ... we hired a Cleaning Co. & bite the bill. Dealing with family is hard.

Forgive and move forward. She sounds great to me. She accepted responsibility and apologized.

Well, I can definitely empathize. . . luckily that sort of thing (her popping in and rearranging couldn't have happened because we were living in different countries) didn't happen, but when we did coincide in the same place, we had little conflicts, over dish-washing etc etc. . . She passed away in January, so problem is no more, but it was hard.
I do think you were totally in your right to say something.

My former Father-In-Law will never acknowledge the severity of my MS because as a young man he was a paramedic, then he became a fireman, then an instructor at the fire academy. He knows everything about trauma but he doesn't know squat about diseases or the disease process.
So he and his wife, my Mother-In-Law, played a big role in my divorce.
But it is so messy dealing with in-laws because it is too easy to make a mis-step. So, the way I see it there is almost nothing that can be done for a perfect solution.

It's kind of like when you're teaching your kids how to do household chores, isn't it? They have to learn -- but you spend a lot of time following behind them, "fixing" what they've done!
So, first your mother-in-law didn't do anything because she felt helpless. Now she wants to help -- but she's getting it wrong. What skill does she have that would really help you? Can she fill your freezer or do your grocery shopping? Be the person in charge of making sure the kids have what they need for school projects or birthday parties (I remember all too well those last-minute scrambles for poster board or birthday presents!)(Actually, now that I think about it, it would have been a huge help to have someone else remembering when it was one of my kids' turn to bring snack for soccer or Girl Scouts...field trip permission slips...Valentines....I sure could have used a social secretary for my kids! It was that kind of stuff -- not the routine stuff -- that was always getting tripped up by MS.) Maybe at this point your could just put her in charge of thinking good thoughts and sending them your way (sending your kids her way so you and your husband could have low-stress at home date nights wouldn't be bad either!)

Thanks everybody! Well it took her 5 days to talk to me again... She has started to visit us once again, but this time she doesn't touch anything. :). I really wish that she would help me out with watching the kids for me every once in a while, but school starts on the 19th so that should help. Especially with the messes. Luckily for some reason my dad has turn a corner and is spending more time with them. Yay! Finally! So this has helped also. Oh, and she cleans houses part time as her job so I'm sure that's one of the reasons she assumed she could help me with. Thanks! And keep letting me know your thoughts.

I wish I had some help from my MIL. She's a hermit and is oblivious to my troubles. Somewhat. She's only around when it suits her and that's rare.
You need to work on open communications. The fact that you texted back and forth means now a coffee date to chat about what you're going through and how much you truly appreciate her help. But maybe she could wait til you ask and you'll promise to tell her when you could use some help. And mean it. :-).
Good luck. Take time to be grateful. :-) it'll work out

Knowing that she cleans houses for a living helps me understand what she did a little bit better. It was hard for her to understand how she was over-stepping boundaries -- after all, other people PAY her to do exactly what she did at your house! Essentially she was doing what she does professionally, only doing it for you for free. It a situation where she feels a little helpless (and believe me, even though I love my daughter-in-law, there's always a little uncertainty as how to relate -- It's not quite as easy as with my daughter.) (On the other hand, my DIL has never snapped at me the way my daughter has!) your mother-in-law contributed something she knew was valued by other people, a skill people paid for. No wonder there were hurt feelings and misunderstandings all the way around! I hope the two of you can work together to figure out out a few truly helpful things for her to do. Maybe the kids can contribute some ideas, too -- what would they like Grandma to help them with (I wish I'd had a mother-in-law who would have supervised Saturday morning kids room clean-up. I would have left the house and had the morning to myself while she rode herd on them! Maybe she'll turn your kids into neatniks. Of course, you'd have to tell the kids that as far as Saturday morning chores are concerned, Grandma's the boss -- no coming complaining to you about Grandma! (and you can't second guess Grandma). Kids are great at that kind of divide and conquer.) (Writing this makes me feel a bit wistful. My husband traveled for work, and my life would have been so much easier -- and more restful -- if there was someone else in charge of clean your rooms -- strip and make your beds -- pull out all of that stuff you shoved under your beds and don't shove it in to your closet -- what is half a peanut butter sandwich doing under your pillow?!) Let go and let Grandma -- and go out and have a venti iced latte on me!

Below is the text of an interview request sent to all Republican candidates for the Texas US House District 17 candidates. If I have missed anyone, please feel free to send me their contact information:
From: Kristofer Cowles
Sent: Sunday, February 07, 2010 11:09 AM
To: 'Dave McIntyre'; 'Will Flores'; 'William H. Flores''; 'Timothy Delasandro'; 'Chuck Wilson'; 'Rod Walline'; 'Sarilee Ferguson'; 'Wynne Loveless'; 'Rob Curnock';
Cc: Paul Rieger (email@example.com)
Subject: Interview Request
Importance: High
Dear 2010 Texas District 17 Candidate,
After consulting with Paul Rieger, Brazos County GOP Chair, I am contacting you with a request to interview you for my blog readers.
Mr. Rieger is confident of my non-affiliation with any campaign in this race, or any political party or organization, and is aware of the tenor and content of my questions, though not the exact wording.
My blogs have been referenced by Congressional Quarterly, The Washington Post, and local media outlets such as KWTX, WTAW and The Waco Tribune. They are also actively monitored by the Congressional Office of Representative Chet Edwards. They have a large and active readership nationwide as well as locally.
My purpose and intent in interviewing each candidate is to provide a comprehensive platform for citizens of the district to view, side by side, the answers to general questions as well as questions specific to each candidate.
My questions will be unambiguous and with little to no preamble, so as to maintain a clear line of questions unencumbered by any perception of bias. I will not ask you about other campaigns. I will stick to your qualifications, issues you raise in your campaign material, and concerns readily available to the general public, and specifically address issues of concern to the citizens of the District. I do have questions that may be uncomfortable for each candidate to answer but they are based only in fact and should not be the focus of our time together.
My interview will last one hour at the most, unless you request more time. As my schedule permits, I will remain with you as long as you want, as I want this to be a platform for you to be able to be as intimate with every possible constituent. If you would like to schedule our time together in conjunction with a campaign event of yours so I can get a sense of the campaign and public response, that would be a welcome opportunity which I would be glad to report on, as well.
My readers have been suggesting I speak to candidates individually and ask the questions I have asked in the public sphere, as well as ones I have not asked. It is my desire to provide a raw look at the questions and answers without further commentary in the published piece. Hence the entire audio recording of our time together will be available for citizens to download and listen to. In that sense, our entire time together will be on the record.
I would like to complete the interviews no later than 20 February 2010. I have statewide election interviews to focus on after that time.
To facilitate your schedule, I can travel to any location in the District to ensure the minimum of inconveniences to you. You or your campaign staff can arrange with me the meeting time and place, with the understanding that the location for the actual one hour's worth of questions and conversation be quiet and unencumbered by public traffic and noise. The interview will be one-on-one, with no other individuals present except you and me.
Please reply to this message your response to this request, and the contact information of whomever I should make the logistical arrangements with. I will schedule interviews on a first-come, first-served basis, and ask that you respond no later than 10 February 2010. I will consider no response by that time to be a denial of the interview request and will only schedule interviews for responses received after that date as time permits relative to the deadline of 20 February.
I am including all campaigns in the TO: field of this email so that you can be assured of the same request being sent to all campaigns. Please do not "Reply To All" when you answer.
Thank you so much for your consideration of this request, and thank you even more for your willingness to serve the citizens of District 17.
I will report on the responses of the campaign after the response deadline has passed on Wednesday.

Allspice comes from the dried berry of a tropical evergreen related to the myrtle tree and look a lot like peppercorns. It was called allspice because it seemed to combine flavors and aromas from several different spices, namely clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon. In fact, allspice can be substituted for these spices and vice versa in a pinch!
You can find allspice as dark reddish-brown dried berries or as a ground powder. A few berries will infuse an entire braise or pot of rice with their warm, spicy flavor. We also like adding allspice to the brines for turkey, pork, and other meats for a more subtle flavor.
The powdered spice is incredibly potent, so remember that a little goes a long way when using it in any dish! Try sprinkling a little onto roasted root vegetables and squashes or adding a half teaspoon or so to your next pot of chili. We also love it in desserts when we want more spiciness than sweetness - like gingerbread, carrot cake, and some dark chocolate desserts.
Do you have allspice in your cupboard? What do you use it for the most?

What is a right? Well, I've actually eendprod on this question. I can't necessarily give you a specific answer in the legal sense, but I think I have a good grasp of the essence of the concept that would work in a real life sense. The fact that it is not really well defined in terms of our pretend courts and pretend laws is a source of much grievance to the people, and weasel wording for the judiciary and legislatures. It deserves its due diligence.When I think of a right in the practical, real world sense I would have to define it as those actions and activities almost all of us engage in in order to function in the course of everyday life. That is, things like driving, working, eating, shopping- pretty much anything that does not infringe upon others rights and is in the pursuit of the ambiguous concepts of life love and happiness. It does not matter if this activity is minor, like getting a coffee at Dunkin Donuts. It is all encompassing, and means everything a person might do whatever their personal reasons. I believe that is why the Constitution was written so broadly and those retained by the people The ideas that rights can be burdened is ridiculous because it places restrictions where restrictions should never be. Everything the government can't do constitutionally speaking, it has done through the back-door- through conversion, coercion, lies and undefined contracts. I believe that is what our friend here is trying to challenge.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

The hive is buzzing!
The kids in Heather Durnin's classroom and mine have started blogging and this week we will bring these kids together in the beginnings of full community.
While our photo contest will run until later in the week, we have also have had the students in our classes beginning to learn about blogging. They have written posts introducing themselves and have also completed an interests survey. Using Google Forms, Heather created a detailed survey asking all of our students about their likes, dislikes, fears, future plans and interests. Every student completed this survey and then, using the magic of google docs, the results were shared with them. Each student spent some time with the results of this survey, looking for similarities and differences between the two classes. They were then required to write a blog post about what they found.
As well as finding out a great many things about the classmates in their 2 700 km across classroom, many of them showed their excitement about this collaboration:
"Two classes are coming together to make one giant hive and they are all buzzing with ideas."
"The Idea hive is buzzing with excitement as we begin our year together. Every one in the idea hive filled out a survey about our interests. I have more in common with the Idea Hive then I thought!"
"I can`t wait to see what Mrs.Durnin and Mr. Fisher have in store for the Idea Hive class and what we will be writing about next."
Bringing learners together in common spaces, helping them to build trust with each other and having some fun are essential parts of building a learning community. Taking chances with your learning does not happen without these shared experiences first. The next step is building up some buzz and excitement. We want our students to be excited and interested in this collaboration. By keeping the energy high, our students will be motivated to collaborate and eager to learn more about one another.
We have a further set of contacts scheduled. Beginning tomorrow we are putting our classrooms together in another skype call to teach the students about commenting – an essential skill and one that needs to be actively taught and modelled in a classroom blogging community. After this, we will begin our first set of assignments together, drawing our classrooms together through common content, readings and projects.
Learning communities do not emerge – they grow and need tending.

Nearly 30 student and faculty volunteers spent a day during their class break week to set up a screening station at a Project Homeless Connect (PHC) event in Golden Gate Park. Throughout the course of the Sept. 29 event, the volunteers screened hundreds of homeless youth and adults, and numerous patients were transported to the dental school's clinic to receive additional treatment.
The PHC event was geared toward San Francisco's homeless youth and young adult population. The outreach event offered medical services, counseling, job placement services, haircuts, meals, and dental screenings and treatment.
"There are many homeless San Franciscans who desperately need dental treatment, and we're happy to provide them the care they might not receive otherwise," said Carsen Bentley, Class of 2011 student and the dental school's PHC student leader. "We appreciate all of the involvement and support from the students, faculty and other members of the dental community who show up to participate in Project Homeless Connect events."
The Dugoni School of Dentistry has been participating in Project Homeless Connect events in the community since 2007. PHC was established in 2004 to provide services to San Francisco's homeless citizens at events held multiple times each year. The September 29 event in Golden Gate Park was the city's 35th PHC event. To learn more, and to see a list of community partners involved in the program, visit http://www.projecthomelessconnect.com/home/partners .
On Sept. 28, volunteer staffers from the Dugoni School of Dentistry's Pediatric Clinic visited San Francisco's Family Developmental Center to offer free screenings and dental health education to children. Working with the pediatric staff was local dentist and San Francisco Dental Society member Dr. Gabriella Pina, who assisted with the screenings. More than 30 children ranging from ages one through eight received free screenings and oral health education throughout the day.
Located in the city's Mission district, the Family Development Center provides growth and development assistance for young children, as well as childcare and health services for children of low-income families and teen parents. Many child patients at the center have physical or mental disabilities and require special medical and dental care.
"Our visit to the Family Developmental Center was very successful," commented Janet Fricke, CDA, RDA, pediatric outreach coordinator and lead Dental Auxiliary Utilization instructor. "We screened and helped educate many children about the importance of good oral health. Some of these children had never visited a dentist before, so we were happy to have this opportunity."

Odds of Another US Rating Downgrade Put at 38.5%: Survey
Now that one group of pampered, out-of-touch politicians has narrowly avoided driving the global economy off a cliff to a screaming fiery death, now it's time to pass the wheel to another group of pampered, out-of-touch politicians who will try to accomplish the same feat.
I'm talking of course about the Super Committee in the US Congress, which has been tasked with devising a viable plan to cut the budget deficit or risk a draconian $1.2 trillion haircut (that word again!) to everything the government does.
What's more, if the Super Committee drops the baby on this one, then the rating agencies could very well come along and hit us with the Downgrade Stick yet again.
Having been obsessed with Europe for most of the time since the first US rating downgrade in early August, the market is only now waking up to the idea that another one could be coming soon.
David Ader, the tireless head of government bond strategy at CRT Capital, today surveyed about 70 portfolio managers and traders on the question of whether the US is at risk of yet another downgrade.
They put the odds of a downgrade at, on average, 38.5%, which is not insignificant.
They also think a downgrade could have fairly significant market implications again, though it may result in slightly less of a freak-out than the first downgrade. Only about half of respondents said they expected a repeat of the August market action. This is old hat now, after all.
According to Mr. Ader's survey, respondents thought, on average, that the S&P 500 would fall to 1133, that 10-year Treasury yields would fall to 2.15%, the euro would jump to $1.44 and the dollar index would fall to 73.6.
Mr. Ader added some notes to the survey to help put this in perspective:
First, we must point out that there while we had a few 0% chance and a few 100% odds of a downgrade, even taking those out we still got to about 38% chance so a very reasonable 'need' to price the event in. Several people who gave low odds for this year, raised their odds for next year.
Second, when asked if a downgrade would repeat the August market response, while the odds look like 50/50, in fact it was a bad question as many who said no, nonetheless saw at least some response, and a lot who said yes really meant there would be a big response, but not necessarily identical. The takeaway is that a downgrade would NOT be a non-event, but rather pretty dramatic in terms of the market action.

Shares of programmable microchip maker Altera (NASDAQ:ALTR) jumped as much as 2.8% higher in after-hours trading today, following the release of second-quarter results and a 20% dividend increase.
Altera's sales increased by 17% year-over-year, landing at $492 million. GAAP earnings grew 32% to $0.41 per diluted share. Analysts were expecting earnings near $0.37 per share on circa $481 million in sales. Altera breezed past both of these targets.
The next dividend will be paid on Sept. 2 to shareholders of record on Aug. 11. The quarterly payout was raised 20% to $0.18 per share. At current prices, that works out to a forward yield of approximately 2.1%.
In prepared remarks, Altera CEO John Daane explained how new products are driving revenue growth that surprised even him.
"With new capabilities and vastly improved performance compared with our prior-generation midrange offerings, our 20 nm Arria 10 FPGAs and SoCs are displaying solid competitive potential as we are seeing a record level of identified customer opportunities," Daane said. "Further, at the high end, with continuing development of our Intel -sourced 14 nm FinFET-based Stratix 10 FPGAs, it remains clear that this new technology coupled with our HyperFlex architecture will deliver industry-leading density and performance as well as lower power and cost."

We blink and already the summer is over, autumn is impending, and school is fully in session. Students are studying away zero to sixth period once again, which means the high school Students of the Month Program is ready to roll, too.
The Menifee Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Perris Valley Chamber of Commerce recently handed out the first round of 2012-2013 Student of the Month awards to students who are already shining in the classroom. Students are nominated by their teachers and staff at their respective high school campuses based on an exemplary demonstration of character, integrity, love of learning, ability to persevere and overcome challenging circumstances, community service, and how they make a difference at their schools.
Each month, the selected students and their families are invited to attend a luncheon hosted by the Menifee and Perris Chambers of Commerce. Local businesses, organizations, and key individuals including high school principals and teachers also attend the ceremony and offer support to the Students of the Month.
Paloma Valley High School: Kiara McIntosh
According to her teacher, Allison King, Kiara embodies everything a Student of the Month should be excelling in: Academics, athletics, and character. Not only is she always ready to learn, but she exemplifies her determination with an admirable humility. She is a Sunbelt League champion and the first CIF champion in the 800-meter run in Paloma Valley's history.
In true Kiara modesty, she credits her family, friends, and teachers for helping her reach success. She plans to continue her education at either UCLA or UCR next year.
Perris High School: Brendon Cocom
Principal Dr. Lynne Sheffield describes Brendon as a silent leader with a powerful impact. Aside from his involvement in academic organizations, his passion for writing has led him to write and publish his first book, Ninja Kifo.
His teacher, Ryan Hays, depicts Brendon as kind, loyal, and determined, with a deep curiosity for continued learning. Brendon is currently looking to attend Stanford, UC San Diego, or UC Santa Cruz and plans to earn his Masters in Computer Science.

SEATTLE - The Washington baseball team's exhibition game vs. the University of British Columbia was rained out Tuesday night. The game will not be rescheduled.
UBC led 1-0 in the bottom of the third inning when the game was stopped. Washington had the bases loaded with no outs. UBC had scored a single run in the top of the second. The game had started 25 minutes late due to rain and there had been one earlier, mid-game delay before it was finally called.
The game was to have counted for the NAIA Thunderbirds, but was a non-counting exhibition for the Huskies.
This weekend, the Huskies play host to Oregon State in a three-game, Pac-10 series Friday through Sunday at Husky Ballpark.

Liberal party set for free vote on marriage equality?
Advocates are suggesting the Coalition may be set to allow party members a free vote on marriage equality, following news that independent senator David Leyonhjelm plans to introduce a marriage equality bill to parliament in a matter of weeks.
Previously Leyonhjelm (pictured, above) had gone on the record to say he would not introduce his draft legislation until the Liberal party allowed its members a conscience vote.
Leyonhjelm's announcement that he plans to introduce the bill have caused pundits to suggest the Liberal party may be backing away from its opposition to gay marriage.
Fairfax media reports senior members of the Liberal party asked David Leyonhjelm to introduce his draft bill to legalise same-sex marriage, suggesting the government want the proposed legislation on the notice paper so it has time to scrutinise the wording of the bill.
Senator Leyonhjelm said: ''I have heard from Liberal senators that a conscience vote is highly likely.''
Leyonhjelm urged Liberal party members to back the push for same sex marriage, suggesting the issue was not going to go away, nor was he. "If it doesn't get through, I have six years to poke them,'' he said. ''At some point they will see I am not going to give up on this," he told Fairfax media.
Australian Marriage Equality (AME) national director Rodney Croome is urging supporters of the reform to sign an online petition calling for a conscience vote.
"Marriage equality has strong support across the community, with 72% support according to the Crosby/Textor research, and a conscience vote would allow this to be reflected in parliament," Croome said.
"Because support for a conscience vote is so strong we have launched a new petition allowing Australians to have their voices heard on the issue, which we will present to the Prime Minister."

cecHi - I'm not sure what you are getting at? Nowhere in this article does it say David Leyonhjelm is a member of the Liberal Party. It says he previously suggested he would wait to introduce his bill to parliament at a time when the coalition would allow a conscience vote. According to reports in Fairfax Media he has been approached by Liberal party senators suggesting a conscience vote may be imminent so he may table his bill in a few weeks...
ClaudiaThis article is incorrect. The man pictured above David Leyonhjelm quoted in your article is a member of Liberal Democrat Party, and has no affiliation to the Liberal National Party. The Labor Party drafted a marriage equality bill and took it to parliament earlier this year and was rejected by the LNP. The Greens also support marriage equality, not the LNP. You need to amend this article as this person is not part of the LNP, in fact the Liberal Party tried to sue him for using the word 'Liberal' in his party's name.

Putting the Video Dot in Sun's Dot Com
By docteger on Aug 02, 2007
I've been leading a one-person drive for a youtube type site to be hosted on our own Sun domain for a couple of months now. Yesterday there was a doc emergency. (Yes, they come up occasionally.) I had to write a down and dirty text file for a particular customer. I wanted to make it official so I decided I would stick a black and white Sun logo at the top. I navigated to logos.sun.com and lo and behold, I had to sign up for, and get approved to receive, the logo. As this was the aforementioned doc emergency I decided to contact Leslie Silva, our program (or is it project) manager, to see if she had one I could use. She pointed me in the direction of our internal MyMarketing site. MyMarketing, in turn, pointed me back to logos.sun.com. (If this were music related, it would be called a roundelay.) Since I had no time to sign up for, or get approved to receive, the logo, I ended up typing Sun Microsystems, Inc. across the type of the file. But the story doesn't end there. While I was poking around MyMarketing looking for a logo, I found SunWeb Videos, a youtube type site hosted on Sun's intranet. (My apologies to those reading this who can not access this site.) This is a find but not the find of the century. Why? I still can't upload my videos from JavaOne (or future demos and screencasts I will be producing) for our customers to view. As the technical writing community moves in the direction of new media, a video hosting site accessible externally is essential. Sun Microsystems does have a youtube channel but I'm not sure I would want to point a customer in that direction; they might skip the videos entirely and take Berta012 or sweetgirly1988 up on their offer.
NOTE: Externally, we do have the beta mediacast.sun.com which is a step in the right direction but the movie files I wanted to see were downloaded directly to my computer - not streamed. Audio files were streamed.
So, join me in this epic struggle to put the video dot in Sun's dot com. Spread the word.

Researchers now say a far better way to assist these bereft children is with simple allocations of cash — $4 to $20 a month in an experimental program under way here in Malawi — given directly to the destitute extended families who take them in. That program could provide grants to eight families looking after some two dozen children for the $1,500 a year it costs to sponsor one child at the Home of Hope, estimated Candace M. Miller, a Boston University professor and a lead researcher in the project.

SAN FRANCISCO - As I watched San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers throw a conniption fit at midfield in Kansas City last week a thought occurred to me.
This would never happen with the New Orleans Saints.
I can't remember the last time a Saints player lost it on the field. Of course, there's not a lot to get upset about when you start a season 13-0 and win the Super Bowl.
Still, the Saints, by and large, are as demonstrative and emotional as snipers when they take the field. Their insides might be bubbling cauldrons of emotion but it rarely shows.
The closest thing I can remember to a visual display of on-field emotion in the Sean Payton era was the heated sideline exchange between tight end Jeremy Shockey and quarterback Drew Brees in Atlanta two years ago.
Otherwise, nothing.
And that's not by accident.
Body language is a big part of Payton's coaching curriculum. Maybe more than anyone in the NFL, Payton believes in the power of nonverbal communication. He talks about it in team meetings, preaches it during practice and demands it during games.
When Dwight Freeney beat left tackle Jermon Bushrod for a sack in the Super Bowl and the Saints' left tackle trotted off the field with his head down, Payton stormed into his face and barked, "Get your head up!"
When Garrett Hartley missed a late field-goal attempt against Tampa Bay last season, Payton upbraided him for sulking on the sideline.
"He harps us on all the time about it, " Bushrod said. "If something goes wrong, he doesn't want us to show it."
Payton majored in communication at Eastern Illinois University. Body language, he feels, can send a powerful message - good or bad - to opponents and teammates.
That's why you'll rarely see Saints players complaining to officials or expressing frustration between plays or on their way to the sideline.
And you definitely won't see teammates bickering among themselves. Even Shockey has learned to temper his demeanor.
"I think it is important, " Payton said. "... If a player doesn't have good body language, I think the first connotation that comes to mind would be if he's giving effort or if he's discouraged. When you win games, you begin to gain confidence and chances are you see better body language."
Body language ranks near the top of the many details the Saints' detail-oriented coach monitors on game days. He doesn't want his players to be emotion-less androids. But he demands mental toughness. If he could field a team of Roger Federers on game days he'd love it.
"Regardless of how you're feeling, you don't ever want to look tired, you don't ever want to look confused, and certainly you don't ever want to look frustrated, " Payton said. "Those are things that would give your opponent the idea that they're at an advantage."
Not surprisingly, Payton asks the leaders of his team to display better body language than others. He's constantly in the ear of Brees about how he's carrying himself.
A former quarterback, Payton knows players look to Brees for leadership. His body language must convey confidence.
"I'll hear that in my helmet every now and then about body language, " Brees said. "When he say's 'body language' he's saying, 'Let it go, on to the next play. Make those guys believe.'"
"As a quarterback, a lot of it is trying to stay as poised as possible, despite the situation either good or bad, and always thinking about the next play or opportunity and that kind of thing, not letting anything from the past bother you."
Brees and backup quarterback Chase Daniel say they practice and study body language with the same intensity as they do route patterns.
The importance of a confident demeanor has been drilled into their heads so often by Payton it's become second nature.
In many ways, Brees is constantly aware of how he projects himself to teammates. He strides into the huddle to call the play, crouching energetically and looking into the eyes of his teammates as he delivers the assignment.
If he unwittingly starts to slouch or drag, Brees will hear about it from Payton in the headset of his helmet.
"I don't think that guy's human, " said former NFL coach Jon Gruden, who will call tonight's game between the Saints and 49ers for "Monday Night Football." "He's on the attack all the time. He's like a wild dog that's on the scent."
Just the message the intense Payton wants his team to send to opponents on game days.

I was privileged to be at the opening of Cirque Du Soleil's production of "Viva Elvis" at the then newly opened ARIA Resort and casino - one of Las Vegas' newest high profile properties located as it is in the much touted City Center. The news that the show was about to close brought me back.
I should start by saying that I am a huge fan of Cirque and many of their great productions. I consider "Mystere" (my favorite by the way), "O", and "Ka" to be amongst the finest shows I have been privileged to review around the world. "Elvis" however is not one of them!
Perhaps that is why this August it will close it's doors here in Las Vegas.
Having said all that let me add that the show got a standing ovation and every member of the amazing cast was outstanding. I'm sure if you were from out of town and had never seen a Cirque show before you would have loved every minute of it.
Perhaps I was spoilt by "Jersey Boys"- no one leaves this show believing they had just seen Frankie Valli, but you left with a feeling of having got a little closer to the amazing life of this great icon. This was certainly not the case with "Elvis".
Sure, the documentary footage that runs as an ever changing backdrop to some truly amazing acrobatic acts and performers was fascinating to any Elvis fan but we've all seen it a thousand times over the years. I had been privileged to attend one of the King's last performances at the then Las Vegas International Hotel in the late 70's and will never forget that evening.
I would have been delighted to have had a good Elvis impersonator that would have allowed me to get all caught up in the excitement each time he walked on stage and I would have had no problem if he mimed the whole show! The success of Frank Marino's "Divas" show (He's been headlining for over 20 years) is an outstanding example of just how realistic and enjoyable a good 'impersonation' can be!
The shows publicity reads as follows:
"Viva ELVIS, a harmonious fusion of dance, acrobatics and live music, is a tribute to the life and music of Elvis Presley. Nostalgia, modernity and raw emotion provide the backdrop for his immortal voice and the exhilaration and beauty of his music."
I guess most of this is true but for me they should have left out the bit about "raw emotion".
For this reviewer at least "Elvis had truly left the building"

With Expedition 9 Commander Gennady Padalka at the controls, the Soyuz vehicle linked up to the nadir docking port of the Zarya Control Module as the two spacecraft flew 230 miles above central Asia. The docking followed Monday's launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. ISS Flight Engineer and NASA Science Officer Mike Fincke and ESA Astronaut Andre Kuipers of the Netherlands joined Padalka on the Soyuz.
Padalka and Fincke will spend six months living on the Station while Kuipers, who is flying under a commercial contract between ESA and the Russian Federal Space Agency, will conduct an nine-day research mission before returning April 30 with Expedition 8 Commander Mike Foale and Flight Engineer Alexander Kaleri, who monitored the new crew's arrival from onboard the ISS. Today marked 186 days in space for Foale and Kaleri, and 184 days on the Station.
After leak checks, hatches were opened at 1 a.m. CDT, allowing Foale and Kaleri to greet their first visitors since October to begin joint operations. One of the first tasks for the five crewmembers was a safety briefing and the start of Kuipers' science activities. His scientific payloads arrived at the Station in January on the Progress supply craft presently docked to the Zvezda Service Module.
On the scene at the Russian Mission Control Center in Korolev outside Moscow observing the docking were NASA Deputy Administrator Fred Gregory, Michael Kostelnik, NASA's Deputy Associate Administrator for Space Station and Space Shuttle and ISS Program Manager William Gerstenmaier.
Over the next nine days, Padalka and Fincke will familiarize themselves with Station systems and stowed equipment, conduct robotics training with the Canadarm2 robot arm, and receive detailed briefings on the scientific payloads they will be operating through October.
Foale and Kaleri will exercise rigorously to condition themselves in preparation for the effects of gravity upon their return to Earth with Kuipers in the ISS Soyuz 7 craft (TMA-3) mated to the Pirs Docking Compartment. Landing is set for April 30 at sunrise in north central Kazakhstan.

HI, I'm hoping that maybe someone is in a similar situation to me. Although it does sound like many of the people on this board are much more religious than I am?? I'm hoping for advice if anyone has suggestions.
Here is our story, I'm jewish, raised conservative but probably leaning towards reform and have since joined my mom's reform synogogue. My husband is catholic. He is not converting, but he's not religious either. We plan to bring up our children with both faith's, however since I am the more religious of the two of us want to at least give our children a jewish foundation (hebrew school and bar/bat mitvahs) and if they then feel they follow more of their father's faith, so be it.
In anycase, we just found out we are expecting a boy. So now is the difficulty. My husband is totally against a mohel performing the service. I and several others have told gone on and on about how much more experience they have than a dr, but he won't budge. wants a dr to do the actual "procedure" so to speak. He also thinks that only the hospital or drs office is a sanitary place for it. Is there a way to have a bris where we go to the hospital or drs office for the actual circumsion and have a rabbi or someone do the service part? He really won't budge on this one, and I'm hoping I'm not the first mixed-faith couple with a son who have had to work thru this. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.

From: Ghana l Adomonline.com Published On: 2013-07-22
The Presiding Bishop of the Wonder Cathedral, the Adenta branch of the Christian Action Faith Ministry (CAFM) has asked his household to polish his shoes and get his clothes in tip top shape as he prepares to take to the dancing floor for Adom Praiz 2013.
The Adom Praiz concert, to be held on Saturday August 3 at the Perez Dome, formerly Word Miracle Chapel at Dzorwulu Junction, will be headlined by multiple Grammy Award-winning American gospel artiste Kirk Franklin backed by an 11 member band.
Speaking at the second outdoor version of Adom Live Worship on Sunday July 21, 2013, Bishop James Saah reminded the thousands gathered into and outside the Wonder Cathedral that God delights in the praise of his creations, and there was no better occasion to renew their faith in God by singing and dancing along to inspiring gospel music.
He has therefore urged lovers of music, not just gospel music, to patronize the Adom Praiz concert, saying apart from serving as an inspirer, music also calms the soul.
The several thousand attendants at the Live Worship event were privileged to see and purchase the first tickets released for the concert, at Ghs 30 (regular) and Ghs 50 (VIP). They told adomonline.com the tickets were "affordable" and promised to purchase some for friends and family.
They urged organizers of the concert, Adom 106.3 FM, to create many more ticket sales outlets to make it easier to purchase. They however commended the station for the innovative nature of the concert.
This is the third time a foreign gospel artiste is headlining the Adom Praiz concert, after Cece Winans (2010), and Ron Kenoly (2011). There was no concert in 2012, as it coincided with the unfortunate demise of former President Atta Mills.
Other artistes on the bill for Adom Praiz 2013 are No Tribe, Ohemaa Mercy, Cecilia Marfo and Cwesi Oteng.

What is the purpose of M2UA in real network archiecture?[HJS] Example: an SEP connected to an STP: the SEP remains in the TDM world, whereas the STP is moved to the IP world. Introducing a signalling gateway inbetween is necessary and the protocol of choice is M2UA between the SG and the IP-based STP.
Could some give me a real newtok example?2. Which technology is suitable for the scenario in which the SS7-based STP is upgraded to IP-based STP?[HJS] the protocol of choice depends on the adjacent nodes capabilities!Best RegardLing-Chih Kao

I am absolutely enamoured with this lavender lemonade.
Isn't it beautiful?
Such a calming and comforting shade of pink. Like the inside of a polished seashell. You know, those big ones you hold up to your ear and you're supposed to hear the ocean?
On a recent mountain cabin get-away girls' weekend with one of my friends, we went poking around some shops in a little mountain town. I stumbled across a section in the back corner of one of these little shops dedicated to lavender products from Mountain Farm, a lavender (and blueberry and dairy goat) farm in the Appalachian Mountains of western North Carolina.
Since many of the products had to do with cooking, I ... of course ... 'got stuck' in this corner for quite some time ... reading all the product labels, my mind swirling with ideas.
I'd never cooked with lavender. And I was intrigued. I swear I could have bought every product in there.
I settled on just three. Pretty good restraint on my part, if I do say so myself.
One of them was this A Taste of Lavender cookbook from Mountain Farm, with a little packet of dried lavender in the back.
As soon as I got home I gave Mountain Farm's lavender lemonade recipe a try.
And I love it. Lemonade infused with the florally fragrant taste of lavender. But not too much, so it's overpowering. It was just right to me.

Imagine the convenience of arriving at the airport after a Caribbean cruise already checked in for your flight, bags en route. Enter Disney Cruise Line with a new program in which departing guests can drop off luggage -- and obtain flight boarding passes -- before they step off their ship.
While Disney is usually the innovator in most endeavors, its decision to offer cruise passengers the option to check luggage before disembarkation follows in the footsteps of other cruise lines, most notably Royal Caribbean, Celebrity and Norwegian Cruise Line. "The service was great on NCL America's Pride of Hawaii," says Cruise Critic's Managing Editor Melissa Baldwin. "I dropped my bag outside of my cabin before we got back to Honolulu and didn't see it again until I got home."
Still, Disney's program offers a welcome twist: Disney has arranged to have actual airline check-in also take place while at sea. Because the ships visit the Caribbean and Bahamas -- which require special logistics and coordination with U.S. Customs and Border Protection -- the satellite technology and software involved is extensive. Therefore, the full program will not be completely implemented until some time in 2008 when most of the airlines that fly out of Orlando International Airport are able to participate. (All Disney ships end their domestic voyages in nearby Port Canaveral.) Details on exactly how the program will work onboard are also forthcoming.
So far, seven major airlines -- including Delta, AirTran and American -- have signed up, according to media reports. Both JetBlue and USAirways plan to join the program before the end of the year. Southwest, the airline with the most Orlando International Airport flights, has committed to joining the Magical Express program, which offers similar service to guests at Disney's land-based resorts in the Orlando area, in early 2008 but has not said whether it will join the cruise program.
Disney will offer service for free. (Cruise lines that offer the baggage check-in service to domestic passengers typically charge between $10 and $20 for the convenience.) Carnival Cruise Lines is testing a similar program for its Port Canaveral sailings but will charge a fee.
Now, if only they could arrange it so we could also avoid the long lines at security!

Skala Will Leave D158 Board Of Ed Post Early
Skala said he'd hoped to stay with the Board of Ed until an important and long-running lawsuit over construction of the District's Square Barn Road Campus in 2005 was resolved. "That's not possible," Skala said he found, even though the end is likely to come within a few months.
Illinois statutes don't specifically prohibit holding the two offices at the same time, but they do bar holding two "incompatible" offices simultaneously. Skala said a check last week with the State's Attorney's Office turned up a 1993 Illinois Attorney General's opinion saying, since it was possible to conceive of situations in which there'd be a conflict of interests, a County Board member can't be a Board of Education member, too. Skala said a further inquiry to the AG found a more recent, albeit non-citable, opinion that reached the same conclusion.
Coincidentally, on the same ballot that saw Skala come in as the top vote-getter in District Five last week, there was also a referendum about holding two public offices simultaneously. McHenry County voters gave a nine to one thumbs down to the idea but it was only an advisory question, in effect, a public opinion poll.
Skala said he might turn in his resignation as early as Tuesday when the D158 Board has a meeting tentatively scheduled to deal with the proposed new teachers' contract. Whenever he quits, Skala said, he'd still like to see the lawsuit through to its finish and thought the rest of the Board did, too. He said one way out of the dilemma might be that, "They could appoint me to act on their behalf," in the case.
