Berkley American Legion to build monument for fallen soldier
By Jeremy Selweski
Posted November 8, 2012
Members of the Berkley American Legion are working to make sure that Matthew Leach will always be remembered by the local community.
Through a series of fundraisers and public donations, they are collecting money to build a monument in honor of the late Ferndale soldier, who was killed in Afghanistan this summer. The $14,000 tribute is expected to be unveiled in April 2013 in front of the Berkley American Legion Post 374 at 2079 W. 12 Mile Road, where it will serve as a comforting symbol for all those with loved ones who went off to war but never came home safely.
"There are various monuments like this across the state but none in this immediate area, and it's about time that there was," said American Legion member Dale GoodCourage, one of the chief organizers of the project. "This monument is really going to be one of a kind, though; it's going to be different from every other one in the country. We've been working on the design for the past four months."
The monument will be constructed by artist and sculptor Stanley J. Watts from Atlas Bronze Casting in Kearns, Utah. GoodCourage did not want to reveal too many details about the project, as he noted that some aspects of its design are meant to be a surprise.
However, the former Berkley City Councilman did say that it will consist of a fallen soldier battle cross, an American flag and a piece of granite inscribed with Leach's name, along with the words, "For those who lay down their lives so that we may stand, you are never forgotten." It will also feature a bench — named Jack's Bench, after Leach's infant son — for people to sit on when they visit the monument to pay their respects.
"There aren't a lot of places for kids who have lost a parent in battle to go and reflect on their thoughts," GoodCourage said. "This is meant to be a place of sanctity for people whose loved ones have made the ultimate sacrifice for this country."
U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Matthew Leach died June 26 while stationed in Kandahar, Afghanistan. The 29-year-old Ferndale resident was part of the Army Reserve's 1/334th Regiment, 1st Brigade, 104th Training Division based in Fraser, and this was his third combat deployment overseas.
Leach, a Class of 2000 Ferndale High School graduate, enlisted in the Army in 2003 and served until 2008, performing two tours of duty in Iraq. He then entered the Army Reserve and was on his first deployment to Afghanistan at the time of his death. He is survived by his wife, Sarah, and their 11-month-old son, Jack Hunter Leach.
In August 2011, Leach was made an honorary member of the Berkley American Legion, when he served as grand marshal of the classic car parade during Berkley's annual CruiseFest celebration.
Sarah Leach has been touched by the Legion's efforts to honor her late husband's memory. "They've really been there for us from the beginning," she said. "I'm so grateful for everything that they've done for us. The whole community has just been amazing — family, friends, neighbors, strangers. I honestly don't know how I would have gotten through these last few months without their support."
She is eager to lay her eyes on the finished monument next spring, but she is even more excited for her son to get to sit on the bench that will bear his name.
"I think it will be so terrific for Jack to see this, to have one more way to connect with his dad," she said. "If we can do something great in Matt's name that will also help other people out, then that would make me so happy."
The American Legion's fundraising efforts are already well under way. Most recently, they held their first annual Staff Sgt. Matthew Leach Fall Crawl Nov. 3, a pub crawl of Berkley venues that drew about 115 participants and brought in almost $5,000.
Next up is the American Legion's third annual pig roast Nov. 24, where guests will be asked to provide a $15 donation at the door. Anyone interested in making further contributions to the Staff Sgt. Matthew Leach Memorial Fund can call the Legion hall at (248) 542-7668.
"We have these fundraisers that we're doing over the next few months, but it doesn't stop there," GoodCourage said. "We will continue to put on more events to raise money for the families and children of these fallen soldiers. We want to make sure that they have all the things they need to get by, and their sacrifices deserve to be recognized, too."

The first of today's two training sessions saw Pato return to Milanello: the Brazilian worked in the gym. In the meantime, Pirlo and Antonini trained with the rest of the team again.
MILAN - A double training session awaits the Rossoneri today at Milanello.
Milan were back to work at 10.00 CET this morning, going through the first part of today's double training session. The Rossoneri, including Andrea Pirlo and Luca Antonini, practised on the central pitch of the Milanello Sports Centre, starting with the warm-up, which was followed by a series of athletic drills, such as stretching and running exercises.
Then the group got divided into two: Pirlo, Robinho, Flamini, Montelongo, Papastathopoulos, Boateng and Yepes trained in the woods, doing a series of up-hill runs, while the rest of the team finished the session in the gym. To be noted is Pato's return to Milanello: the Brazilian worked in the gym this morning. The next practice is scheduled for 15.00 CET today afternoon.

At least 16 dead as floodwaters continue to plague five nations
The Austrian Civil Protection Authority reported Thursday that four people have died and three others are still missing as a result of recent floods and landslides in the Central European country. That brings the death toll from the severe weather outbreak to at least 16, including eight in the Czech Republic and four in Germany.
The good news in Austria was that river levels there are receding. However, many roads remained closed due to high water or mudslides, which also have disrupted national and international rail traffic.
In the Czech capital, Prague, the level of the Vitava River was declining, but flooding woes continued in other parts of the country. The European Commission reported that rescue operations were still underway in south Bohemia, where a pair of rivers were still rising. Flooding had created a shortage of drinking water in the area.
In neighboring Slovakia, the EC reported that the Danube River was expected to crest Thursday afternoon in Bratislava, on the Austrian border. Floodwaters had overwhelmed river defenses in the village of Devin, at the confluence of the Danube and Morava rivers.
Farther downstream, the Danube was expected to reach its highest level in western Hungary on Saturday, according to the Hungarian National Disaster Management Directorate. Work was continuing in the capital, Budapest, to prepare for possible flooding there this weekend.
Hardest hit by flooding Thursday was Germany, where more than 30,000 people have been displaced by rising water levels. The EC said another 30,000 people might have to be evacuated from the city of Halle, on the Saale River. The Saale flows into the Elbe River north of Halle. The Elbe, which is also overflowing its banks in many places, eventually empties into the North Sea near Hamburg.
The Elbe was causing numerous problems in the German state of Saxony. The EC reported many roads were impassable and flooding had forced the closure of schools and some health facilities. In the state capital, Dresden, a disaster alert remained in effect.
Flights were operating normally at the Dresden International Airport, which connects to Chicago via a number of cities that offer non-stop service to and from both points, including Frankfurt, Munich, Barcelona, and London.
Flood clean-up was underway in other parts of Germany where the high water threat had ended. For many people, it was a repeat of the work they had to do after devastating flooding in 2002. This time, though, many in the affected areas have no flood insurance to assist them in paying for the restoration of their homes and businesses.
Udo Schonfeld's insurance office was among the businesses in the town of Grimma damaged by floodwaters. Ironically, he has no insurance to cover the loss.
"I have no insurance policy for natural disasters," he told the German news magazine Spiegel. "In the years after the flood catastrophe of 2002, no insurance company would take the risk."

|Idaho beats Boise State
BOISE, Idaho – The Idaho volleyball team absorbed Boise State's best shot and battled its way to a 3-2 victory Thursday night, the 200th of coach Debbie Buchanan's career.
"Numbers are great, but I'm not chasing numbers," Buchanan said of the milestone win. "Anytime we beat Boise State, it's such a rivalry and it's big for these kids. We're here to come out and compete each game. It's an honor, obviously many players down the road have helped get us there, but we're taking it one game at a time and we have a goal in mind at the end of the year and we've got to keep working towards that."
The Vandals (4-4) were on the ropes early after BSU (3-4) took a 25-16 win in set one, but Idaho clawed its way to a 28-26 win in the second set to even the match heading into the break. Each team failed in its first chance to close out the second set before the Vandals were able to take the decisive point.
The Broncos came out strong again in the third set, cruising to a 25-14 win to push Idaho to the brink with a 2-1 lead in the match. The Vandals, however, evened the match and forced a fifth set with a 25-22 win in the fourth. With Idaho leading the fifth set 14-13, hundreds of Vandal fans in the crowd of 938 went wild as Casey Rose's serve went into the net giving Idaho a 15-13 fifth-set win to clinch the match. It was Idaho's first five-set win in 2013.
"This was a great crowd and I'm very thankful that we had a lot of Idaho fans here tonight to watch these kids," Buchanan said. "I thought that we got better as the match went on and they started to break down as the match went on. That shows a little bit of character, but we still have a long way to go."
Boise State led Idaho in nearly every statistical category, including hitting percentage (.285-.230), blocks (9.0-8.0) and digs (69-57). The Vandals did have six aces, to BSU's five, but Idaho also committed 12 errors at the service line, while BSU had 10.
"This was a battle," Buchanan said. "Unfortunately, the times that we were behind we were doing it to ourselves, and that's something that we're going to have to figure out as we keep working through this season."
Idaho junior Jessica Hastriter led the team with 16 kills and added a block and a dig while hitting .250, and junior Alyssa Schultz had 12 kills and a team-best .385 hitting percentage.
Sophomore Katelyn Peterson had 11 kills, senior Taylor Wilkinson had eight and freshman Ali Forde came off the bench and tallied seven kills. Sophomore Jenna Ellis had a team-high 18 digs and freshman Terra Varney added 11. Sophomore Meredith Coba had 47 assists, six digs and two blocks.
"We had a lot of young kids make some big plays tonight," Buchanan said. "We put Ali in, and that was one of the differences in the match that really turned us around. "
The Vandals improve to 52-30 all-time against the Broncos, and Buchanan is now 200-192 in her 14-year career, all at Idaho, including 17-4 against Boise State.
The Vandals continue the Bronco Classic on Friday at 12:30 (PT) against Sacramento State. Idaho will square off against North Texas at 9 a.m. (PT) on Saturday to wrap up the tournament.

According to a Feb. 6 report from NOLA.com, Kofi Kingston says Wrestlemania is the WWE's version of the Super Bowl or World Series.
The WWE has no season finale, but Kingston looks at Wrestlemania as the culmination of a year's worth of work.
"It's the biggest show of the year," Kingston said. "We build toward it all year. We don't have any kind of offseason, but if we were to have a season finale so to speak, it would be WrestleMania. It's our Super Bowl. It's our World Series. ... And when you're climbing the ranks, you envision yourself at WrestleMania. That's always the goal is to be on the biggest show of the year."
The year's Wrestlemania goes down at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Sunday, Apr. 6, and Kingston is expected to be a big part of the show.
Kingston, a New Orleans native, says he's most excited about sampling some of the food from his old stomping grounds, when he comes to town for Wrestlemania XXX.
"One of my main stops is Cafe Du Monde," said Kingston. "Getting me some beignets is always top on the priority list. Since we're going to be here a week for WrestleMania, I'll probably be there a little bit more than I need to be. But it's all good, I'll work out and burn off all the calories, so I look good in my outfit at WrestleMania."
Kingston is perhaps best-known for the miraculous ways he avoids getting eliminated from Royal Rumble battles. Surprisingly, he says he doesn't plan the moves far in advance.
"The funny thing about it is that a lot of people think that I think about them year-round, and the past three years now, the idea hasn't come to me until like 12 hours before the event," he said. "I don't put any pressure on myself to come up with anything cool. I approach it like any other match.
"I don't know if I'd put one (escape) above another. Like I always say, the greatest trick of all would be to actually win."

Social Media: Why It's the Next Bubble to Burst
Dave Skarica
Stocks like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Pandora could be victims of the social media bubble bursting.
There are unintended consequences from loose monetary policy and easy money. When people look at the housing boom and bust, they tend to see the consequences of that easy money from 2003 to 2007 creating a boom in finance and housing, and then the bust that led to empty houses, bad loans, and overleveraged bets on Wall Street, bringing down Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers.
However, the easy money split into other sectors; we saw a huge move in commodities and emerging markets. The move in commodities then split over into additional sectors. Because commodities went higher, alternative energy companies could compete with traditional energy firms, and there was cheap money around to finance them. We saw a huge bubble in solar and wind energy. Stocks like
First Solar
(NASDAQ:FSLR) and
(NYSE:STP) soared to dizzying heights -- and then crashed 80% to 90% or more.
While no one really talked about the solar and alternative energy bubble, it was a consequence of the loose money policies of the post-2001 period when the Fed kept interest rates down too low for too long.
I think that the true bubble this time around is in government bonds; people will look back in amazement at the fact that anyone ever thought that the 10-year US government bond was worth 1.38%.
However, one of the consequences of all this printed money is that some of it is going to flow into "hot sectors." In
a recent article
, I discussed
Tesla Motors
(NASDAQ:TSLA), an electric motor company that has been one of these hot stocks. Fast money will always flow into new technologies that ignite the imagination. In 1999, it was the Internet; in 2007 and 2008, it was solar and wind power. Now it is electric cars and social media.
It seems like everyone these days has a
(NASDAQ:FB) or Twitter account. NFL players tweet about their concussions; it is a social phenomenon.
However, the valuations are ridiculous. Facebook trades at 122 times earnings and has a market cap of $122 billion.
(NYSE:LNKD) has a P/E of nearly 1000 and a market cap of $28 billion.
(NYSE:P) has a market cap of $4.52 billion.
We are now hearing the same type of comments that I heard during the dot-com bubble. It's all about the number of page views and people using these services in the future who could be "potential customers." This will end badly. However, we never know where it will end. If there is another surge higher in the market, social media stocks could double from current levels. There are many stories of people who shorted tech in early 1999 just to be slaughtered in the short term, even though they were correct in the long term.
However, when the current money-printing and bond bubble bursts, these inflated social media stocks will surely collapse 80% to 90% -- or perhaps even more. Buyer beware.
No positions in stocks mentioned.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Foster, Pops (George Murphy)
Bassist George Foster's powerful sense of rhythm and resonant tone rang out with authority across early jazz, earning him universal respect amongst younger musicians, such as trumpeter Louis Armstrong, who called him "Pops." His musicianship is remarkable in light of the fact that he taught himself to play on an instrument he made out of a flour barrel, a two-by-four, and two pieces of twine.
Unfamiliar with the traditional approach to the instrument, Foster was innately aware that the stronger he held down a string with his left hand, the better and more powerful the sound he could create, so he developed unorthodox playing techniques and a variety of hand positions akin to death grips. These innovations and the beautiful tone they produced made Foster a favorite sideman of, among others Louis Armstrong, saxophonist Sidney Bechet and pianist Earl Hines.
George Murphy Foster was born May 19th, 1892 on the McCall Plantation in Louisiana, about 60 miles outside of New Orleans. Born into a musical family, Foster began playing bass at an early age and by 1899 was a regular member of a family string band, which played at dances at the plantation and surrounding towns.
New Orleans was a booming, international city of 300,000 people at the time, and the Foster family in moved there in 1902, a dramatic shift from the rural, sharecropping environment the boy called home for the first ten years of his life. He attended an elementary school program at New Orleans University until the fifth grade, and held down a few odd jobs before becoming a professional musician in 1908. By this time he had acquired a proper bass, and for the next nine years Foster gigged around the New Orleans scene, playing lawn parties, fish fries, funerals, and Storyville gigs with the likes of trombonist Kid Ory, cornetists Joe "King" Oliver, Freddie Keppard and John Robichaux. In these formative years, Foster was expected to play all of the diverse styles of music that were popular in New Orleans at the time, which later combined into the music we now call jazz.
Foster landed his first steady employment with Fate Marable's riverboat groups in 1917, aboard the SS Belle of the Bend and later on the SS Capitol. In 1919 Foster was joined in Marable's group by clarinetist Johnny Dodds and his brother, drummer Baby Dodds, clarinetist Johnny St. Cyr and an eighteen-year-old cornet player named Louis Armstrong. Foster forged and maintained a warm relationship with Armstrong for the better part of his career.
By 1922, Foster was a cross-country traveling performer, heading first to Los Angeles to play with Kid Ory. In 1924, Foster landed in St. Louis, where he made his first recordings with Charlie Creath's Jazz-O-Maniacs for OKeh records. In all, Pops Foster appeared on fifteen sides recorded by Okeh between December 1924 and March 1925. Unfortunately, due to the limitations of recording technology in the era, Foster's playing is not well represented on these records.
Foster's next big move would be to New York with Luis Russell and his Orchestra, an affiliation he would maintain for the next eleven years. One of the top big bands of the time, the Russell Orchestra featured trumpeter Henry "Red" Allen and trombonist J.C. Higginbotham among others. Russell had telegrammed Foster requesting his services; on February 11, 1929, the bassist agreed, and made the move north.
During his tenure in Russell's band, Foster also gigged and rehearsed with Duke Ellington, Fletcher and Horace Henderson, Fats Waller, Jelly Roll Morton and Willie "The Lion" Smith. Foster also recorded often during this period, including sessions with Morton, Waller and Armstrong.
Among the sides Foster recorded around this time include the 1929 Armstrong version of "Mahogany Hall Stomp," which Foster regarded as his personal favorite recording, and a raucous version of "It Should Be You" with Henry "Red" Allen. Foster even briefly returned to his string band roots during this time, playing a radio show with guitarists Joe McDonough, Eddie Lang and violinist Joe Venuti.
Armstrong, meanwhile, by 1935 was searching for a quality orchestra to back him up, after weathering a series of subpar supporting bands. He and his manager, Joe Glaser, made offers to several established groups around New York before coming to terms with Luis Russell. The Russell Orchestra then became Louis Armstrong and his Orchestra, but Russell's lineup remained intact.
This renewed assoication with the popular Armstrong may have seemed fortuitous for Foster, as it was the height of the Great Depression, and steady work was hard to come by. But Armstrong's band was only paid during engagements; Duke Ellington's Orchestra, by comparison, was paid a weekly salary year round. During the band's long periods of "loafing," as Foster called them, he took to gambling and drinking, issues which plagued him for more than a decade.
In 1940, Joe Glaser fired the entire Armstrong Orchestra and replaced its members with cheaper, younger musicians, and Foster found himself out of a job. For the next five or so years, Foster worked erratically and sunk deeper into drinking. But the latter half of the decade proved more productive, highlighted by a stint supporting Sidney Bechet, a successful European tour with Mezz Mezzrow, and a regular radio appearance on the show This is Jazz.
Earl Hines entered Foster's life in 1955, when the piano man asked the bass player to join his group at Club Hangover in San Francisco. Foster stayed with Hines for the next five years called San Francisco home until his death on October 29, 1969. In addition to his work with Hines, Foster worked consistently with a number of small groups and pick-up bands, primarily in the traditional, New Orleans style, though he did at one time perform with tenor saxophonist John Coltrane, and he toured Europe in 1966 with the New Orleans All-Stars.
In 1971, "The Autobiography of Pops Foster" was published, which was in fact an "as told to" memoir co-written by Tom Stoddard, based on more than seventy hours of interviews he did at the bassist's home over the last two years of his life. While the memoir reveals minor inconsistencies in Foster's memory – in a few cases, it contains slightly differing accounts of the same event – it remains one of the few eyewitness accounts of the early days of New Orleans jazz, and is thus both and engaging read and an invaluable tool to researchers.
Pops Foster was almost without peers in the early days of jazz. Only Wellman Braud and Bill Johnson could hold a candle to the power and drive with which he played. Hugues Panassié, the noted French author and critic praised Foster "for his extraordinary power and attack." Former Down Beat magazine editor and jazz historian Dan Morgenstern considers Foster the greatest of the first generation of jazz bass players. Foster laid the foundation for the big bass sounds of generations to follow, and through his work, ensured that the bass would always be at heart of the jazz beat.

December 25, 2008
This place has great Mexican food! Whenever I come here I always get the appetizer of the tacquitos. They are not your average tacquitos. They are wrapped in a crunchy red tortilla and are filled with corn, chicken, and other spices. Even though it is just an appetizer it is extremely filling. Especially with the endless chips and salsa you get before your meal! This is a great place to bring groups or people from out of town. Definitely would recommend to anyone.

Suze Restaurant Review: Always packed, this tiny spot has won the hearts of its neighbors in Preston Hollow. We usually start with the arugula and goat cheese salad with dates and grilled tomatoes and an order of Kobe carpaccio that melts on your tongue. Then it's deciding on one of chef Gilbert Garza's simple yet elegant pastas. The heartier fare is another choice, like duck breast infused with cardamom or the filet served with garlic mashed potatoes. Be sure and ask your server for any specials and leave room for at least one piece of the decadent chocolate truffle cake.

NAIROBI (AA) - Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta on Thursday expressed optimism that a British fact-finding parliamentary mission would convince their government to lift a ban on the import of the leafy narcotic Khat from the East African nation.
"The President welcomed the visit by the UK Home Affairs select committee and expressed optimism that it would succeed in its mission," the presidency said in a press release.
President Kenyatta met the members of the mission – who are drawn from the British House of Commons' Home Affairs office – in the central Kenyan town of Nanyuki.
"The mission had completed an inquiry and produced a report which recommended the UK to refrain from banning Khat," read the statement.
According to the presidency, the delegation, led by Committee Chairman Labor MP Keith Vaz, had met stakeholders involved in the Khat business and the community that grows the narcotic leaf in Meru, a city on the northeast slopes of Mount Kenya.
During the meetings the mission collected evidence that would support its push for the lifting of the ban.
Importation of Khat into Britain has been banned since July of last year to prevent the U.K. from becoming a transit route for illegal shipments of Khat to other European countries.
Recent official statistics in Kenya show that Khat, referred to locally as veve or miraa, is one of Kenya's main exports, earning farmers nearly $100 million a year.
Also cultivated in certain areas of the Arabian Peninsula, Khat has been banned in Europe, the U.S. and Canada.
Khat, a mildly narcotic plant is chewed by Kenyans, Somalis, Djiboutians, Ethiopians and Yemeni communities.
The World Health Organization says Khat users can suffer from a range of diseases such as tuberculosis, anemia and impotence.

Cloverleaf junior Jacob Dunbar has already proven to be one of the best boys tennis players in Medina County history.
With a 61-5 record and two singles appearances at the Division I state tournament, he has accomplished more in his first two prep seasons than any local player ever.
This spring, Dunbar will face additional pressure, as this is his final high school campaign.
As skilled in the classroom as he is on the court, the two-time Gazette MVP is slated to graduate from Cloverleaf in May — a full year early — and will continue his tennis career at the University of Richmond in the fall.
The only question facing Dunbar in the interim is whether he will join older brother Ethan (a redshirt sophomore with the Spiders) and Medina's Patrick Thompson as the county's only three-time state qualifiers.
Dunbar also will attempt to become the first county singles player to advance to the state tournament three years in a row — and continue his family's SL dynasty by winning its seventh straight first singles crown for the Colts.
Four other members of the 2012 All-Gazette team return, topped by Highland first singles player Steve Smykal. The three-time All-Gazette selection has a 42-31 career record, including an 11-4 mark in intracounty play.
Medina senior Jake Liebler, who led the county with a .700 winning percentage at second singles last year, has earned the lead singles spot for the Bees. He is a three-year letterwinner with a 40-23 career record.
Junior Michael Hutchings and sophomore Joshua Hadler will play second and third singles, respectively, for the Hornets. Hutchings owns a 31-22 career mark, while Hadler went 19-5 as a rookie as Highland claimed the mythical county championship and finished 13-3 overall.
Brunswick junior Ian Kurela and Wadsworth senior Ryan Salem round out the first singles players in the county, which combined to win 52 of 90 matches in 2012 — with all five teams finishing .500 or better.

According to USA today, perceived parent respect in schools has declined from 91% to 49% from a generation ago. The result is disbelief when a teacher reports poor behavior to a parent. This results in students never being chastised for bad behavior. This results in repeated bad behavior. This results in disrupted classrooms. This results in failed schools... and it is always the teachers fault. Teachers of course, would point at parents.
Perhaps todays' parent lost it's trust of authority back when they were students themselves. What forty-something year old can't point to a teacher they had in the past that left them feeling victimized, or worthless? It is not wonder they now look on teachers with suspicion. In the end, we are stuck with a vicious cycle of abuse and mistrust that continues to erode classroom effectiveness. It seems like a losing battle.
Some parents react by pulling their children from the school. Who can blame them? Students need to be taught and if it is not happening in the classroom, then parents need to do it on their own terms. It is actually a great solution for many families. Other parents, and students without the same resources feel stuck, especially in areas where schools are poorly funded, and barely supported by parents.
Unfortunately, the weight of regaining the parent's trust and respect falls back on the shoulder of the teacher. The person who receives the least support from every direction possible, is the only one who can inspire a child's imagination and a parents trust. In short teachers need to be miracle workers. They need to catch the attention of the child and inspire him or her to do better. They have to convince the parents that they truly have a heart for their child, so when they deliver bad news, it will be accepted. They also have to convince their leadership to allow them to do things differently, which is barely allowed these days.
But it can happen. These teachers do exist. These teachers need encouragement. They also need a little respect from and input from parents. They need the help of parents who take the time to get to know teachers, and can then learn from the teachers demeanor and attitude which teachers they can trust, and which they can't. Parents can push the better caring teachers who deserve respect and visibility forward. Parents can encourage children to trust teachers who truly show themselves to be trustworthy.
So while it is easy to push the blame of a failed classroom or school on a teacher, parents need to understand that without their involvement and respect, the teachers hand is literally tied.

General Rules
- Please read all the rules to prevent repeated questions.
For further questions please send a note to the Group instead of the personal accounts of each leader.
- If you break any of the rules once will lead to a warning. A second time will lead to being banned.
- Show respect and be polite to everyone. No flaming, abusing, trolling, spamming, harassing,...
- If you wish to leave please warn the group by sending a note with the title "Leaving" and remove your character application from the gallery.
- All artwork must be your own. No tracing, using bases, ...
If you are caught doing any of these things you will be removed from the group.
- No God-modding or Power playing. No one is perfect nor invincible and your character shouldn't be an exception.
Submission Policy
- When submitting something, be sure to state which Kingdom gains points for it.
In case of collabs, both Kingdoms will gain points so please make sure to write down which ones.
- There is no limit on how many deviations you can submit. We encourage you to be as active as possible.
- If you wish to submit mature pictures, please mark them as such. Racistic or insulting pictures will be declined however.
- Sketches and linearts are allowed only if you don't work on them any further. Avoid posting both the lineart and the finished work please; do not post WIPs.
- When drawing someone else's character remember to ask for permission and give credit in the artist's description.
- If someone is offended by the way you drew their character, please remove the deviation from the gallery.
Role-playing / Chat room Rules
- Please keep all content under PG-15 when role-playing in the chat room. If someone feels uncomfortable with the way you RP, please continue via private messages or any other way.
- No offending other members just because your character and theirs do not get well.
Remember, there's a difference between personal and RP. Just because your characters hate each other doesn't mean their owners have to dislike each other as well.
- If non-members join the chat room, please be polite to them.
- Non-members may still RP with group members; however, their characters are not a part of any kingdom, instead just being inhabitants of Memoria.
- Try to use literate speak when in the chat. "Smtimes dis can rly b a rl h3ll n hrd 2 undrstand" especially for people who do not have English as their mother language.
- No god-modding or power playing allowed during RPs. Your character's stats are defined for a reason; do not RP in a way that is in opposition to your character's stats. I.e., a low-strength character breaking boulders with his/her bare hands.

So You Want to Join an RP Group
A Guide to Creating and Playing Original Group RP Characters
Disclaimer: People have different styles of roleplaying. This centers around the style that I and my friends use. When reading instructional manuals for creative endeavors, always take suggestions with the knowledge that everyone likes different things.
RP groups are a lot of fun. After having exclusively done single one on one roleplays for the last nine or ten years, I only recently discovered the world of the deviantArt RP group. Many -- sometimes even hundreds! -- people gather in one location, all interested in the same base concept, and all hungry for roleplaying! It sounds like a writer's fantasy.
You almost always end up hitting it off with a couple of people whose style of writing compliments yours. The bonds you forge and the friendships that come with them are immensely strong, and you'll find people there for
Frequently Asked Questions
◊ About ◊
◊What exactly is Memoria Somnium?
Memoria Somnium is a Fantasy RP Group that allows you to have fun roleplaying with other characters, as well as draw and help you improve along the way.
The choices you make during quests, missions and other activities will determine the outcome of the story.
◊ What inspired you to make the group?
Mainly RPGs, fantasy novels and wanting to create a story together with as many people as possible while having fun drawing and role-playing it.
◊ Do all submissions need to be drawings? Are written/text submissions allowed?
Not all submissions need to be drawings; however, that is one of the main focuses of the group. Some quests might have the option of doing something other than drawings like a text, cosplay, sculpture, photography, etc…
You need to apply with a drawing of your character though.
◊ Choosing a Kingdom ◊
◊ Is there some kind of HQ or a building for the expedition members in each Kingdom?
Yes, there is. The 'Headquarters' building is located next to the Castle/Palace in each Kingdom and it consists mostly of a command room and offices for the leaders, a training ground, living quarters for the members, a mess hall, infirmary, and a relaxation lounge.
If your character doesn't have a house, they might choose to live there instead.
◊ Creating a Character ◊
◊ Can my character be a mix between Humans and Leiians?
No. Humans and Leiians can't breed, therefore no half-breeds exist.
◊ Can my character have split personality?
No, you can't since it's two different personalities it's like RPing two characters and therefore no.
If there is a good explanation behind it, however, we might consider it. (a bad example would be the typical 'spirit' living inside your character).
◊ Are guns and the such allowed?
Guns are not allowed. Because this is an RP group, we're keeping things simple and setting some limitations on these aspects, unfortunately.
Guns do exist but it's something in development no one has access to, and most likely do not even know such exist outside the ones developing them.
But who knows! Perhaps later on, a gun might be given out as a reward.
◊ Can "Mythical" animals' features be used for Leiians? Stuff like Griffons, Unicorns, etc.
Yes, of course. Why not? All kinds of animal features are available and the more original you are, the better!
◊Is there any age limitation? Can I have a young character, around 13 years old?
Yes and no. You are free to give your character any age you want. We just ask that you be a bit realistic.
Your character is part of an expedition team, set out to explore new lands and retrieve the Fragments.
Seeing a ten years old being an awesome knight or badass assassin is a bit "too much".
Just try to make sense and explain why/how your character is like this or that. Try to not go overboard with the child prodigies, though.
◊ Do Leiians have a longer life span than humans? How many years do they typically live?
Leiians do in fact outlive humans; their average life expectancy is about 150 years, give or take due to random deviations.
◊ Magic ◊
◊ Is Magic restricted to Mages? Can a Fighter know a basic spell?
Not necessarily and yes. Because magic requires intense studying, it is only natural for those who focus on it to be able to use it.
Everyone else uses magic through the Lun'Erco crystals which aren't as powerful but easier to use and thus, all non-mages classes will never have extremely powerful spells.
◊Doesn't the magic system make mages overpowered? What's to stop me from making a mage, but putting all their points into strength to make a fighter with full-power magic?
While mages might have a statistical advantage due to the magic system, it comes at a cost. Stronger magic can cause strain upon the user; thus, they are more prone to being tired out quickly. Even if a mage has both high strength and magic, using both aspects together will tire them out more quickly than if they just used their magic. Use of the basic magic of Leiian non-mages is far less taxing upon the body, and use of artificial magic by human non-mages does not cause fatigue at all.
◊ I want a Leiian OC but I also want a Healer. Does that mean I have to switch to a Human OC instead?
No, you don't. Leiians can use Water for healing spells. Just keep in mind it's never as powerful as Light though (ex: buff spells and others are limited)
◊ I want my character to be a Summoner type. Are they allowed?
They are. A summon counts as a pet and is exclusive to the Mage Class (meaning you can't summon if you are not a mage since it requires knowledge in magic). The summoner must be fairly useless on their own if the summon is going to fight; If the summoner is fairly competent then the summon must be only for support.
The summoner-summon have an inversely proportional strength relationship, meaning, the stronger the summon is in combat, weaker the summoner is and vice versa.
◊ Other ◊
◊ What are the points used for? How do we gain them and what's their influence?
Points are gained through submissions and influence the direction of the storyline. Usually, the Kingdom with most points gains a reward, more influence on the storyline and plot and thus, has more benefits. The one with least amount of points will suffer a consequence, for example.
Remember, even though the Kingdoms are cooperating now, there still exists a sense of rivalry between them.
◊ I suck at drawing. Does that mean I have less chances of joining the group?
That is not true. We value effort above all. Whether your character is drawn better than others doesn't matter if your application is lacking info and you only wrote two or three sentences about him/her.
◊ How active do the members have to be?
As long as you RP and/or post art over time, everything should be fine. At least though, try to submit something every 4 months, around the time an Episode comes out so you don't miss out much.
◊ Do I have to do all the Quests/Missions/Events/…?
No. They are all Optional unless stated otherwise. But they help you in being active.
◊ What is the currency in Memoria?
The world of Memoria uses Gold, Silver, and Copper as currency. One copper correlates to about $1 in the real world. One silver is worth ten copper, and one gold is worth ten silver. So 1 Gold = 10 silver = 100 Copper, and 1 Gold = ~$100, 1 silver =~$10, and 1 copper =~$1.
F.A.Q. will be updated as we soon as we get more questions!

Robert Bushnell, 50, of Woodstock Road, in September of last year, shot and killed his neighbor's two companion animals because they were killing his chickens and chasing his livestock, at least that's how he justified his cruel, viscous act when the police finally caught up with him. The owner of the two dogs, Mocha, a 7-year-old chocolate Labrador retriever, and Rocky, a 5-year-old Alaskan malamute, admits that she knew that they had killed two chicken and had made an attempt to find out who they belonged too.
The neighbor, Robert Bushnell, lived 400 yards away and knew her dogs but never spoke with her about the problem. He confessed to the police that he never even attempted to contact Amy Tubbs about the problem. He told the police that he took those two beautiful, friendly animals to the state owned property, miles from his home, and shot them several times, leaving their bodies where they fell, to be eaten by the wild animals that freely roamed the area. Hikers discovered the bodies and then an anonymous tip led the police to Bushnell weeks after the shooting.
Amy Tubbs told Christen Gowan, a staff writer for the Albany Times Union, "I'm glad that they found out who did it. I'm infuriated because I live so close to this person." According to Gowan, Undersheriff Craig Apple said the shootings appear to be an isolated incident. He added that media attention from the case caused Bushnell to give police a statement. "I don't think that he would ever do it again," Apple said.
Bushnell wasn't arrested; he was issued an appearance ticket.
Dianne Byron wrote in a letter to the editor on October 19, 2009, "I was very upset to read that the man who police say admitted that he shot to death two dogs in Berne would not be prosecuted under Buster's Law because, according to police, he did not sadistically torture them."
Is it any less a crime of murder to kill someone's beloved companion animal than it is to kill one of their children? Buster's Law needs to be revised. The willful killing of any one's companion animals should be a felony and treated as one.

Getting an annual mammogram is a very important way of life for most women over the age of 40 (talk to your doctor about what is right for you). However, some women fear their first mammogram because they think it will be painful. In fact, one of the most common questions we get from patients before they get their mammogram is: "Is a mammogram painful?"
So we talked to Laura Caruso, a mammography coordinator at Botsford Breast Center, to get answers.
The truth is, Laura explained, is that mammograms can feel different for each person and depend on a number of factors. About 99% of Laura's patients say their mammogram didn't hurt at all! Sometimes they say there was some discomfort, sort like that of a blood pressure cuff. In the past, mammograms may have been more painful due to the older technology used. But today's digital equipment allows images to be taken without as much pressure needed on the breast – so there's not as much squeezing.
Your mammogram tech will personalize your mammogram to minimize any anxiety or pain and improve your overall experience. Each of the factors below is considered when your mammogram tech personalizes your exam, but there are also some things you can do to minimize mammogram pain.
- Caffeine – it exacerbates the feeling of fullness of dense breasts and triggers cysts to be active. If you notice that your breasts are tender after you've had caffeine (for example if it is painful to hug) cut out caffeine for up to a week before your mammogram appointment.
- Type of breast tissue – fibroglandular breast tissue is a little more sensitive than fatty tissue. You can't do anything about the type of tissue you have but that's something that a mammography tech will take into consideration when she personalizes your mammogram.
- Time of cycle – your breasts may be more sensitive just before your menstrual cycle so schedule your mammogram appointment for after that time of the month.
- Fear – if you're afraid of getting a mammogram you'll be tense and the feeling from every touch is exaggerated. So relax! Don't think too much about the procedure and know that it really doesn't hurt. Remember, 99% of our patients say their mammogram didn't hurt.
"I challenge anyone who says mammograms are too painful to come see me for your own personalized mammogram," Laura says. No matter what is going on in your life, a good mammogram tech will take the time to review your unique factors and administer a personalized exam that will maximize comfort.
To make a mammogram appointment at the Botsford Breast Center, call (248) 471-8100 or visit our website for more information. You'll need a prescription from your doctor to get a mammogram. If you don't have a doctor you can find a Botsford doctor here.

The police have stated they have positively identified the body of Dr. Teleka Patrick of Kalamazoo, Mich. who went missing last December.
Her body was found last week floating in Lake Charles by a man fishing. On Wednesday, the medical examiner identified the body as belonging to Teleka, reports USA Today.
After the body was found, the family released a statement:
"Our family was informed that a body was found that may be our daughter Teleka Patrick. We are waiting for official confirmation from the Kalamazoo Sheriff's Department and have no comment at this time. Thank you for your continued prayers-we ask that you respect our privacy at this difficult time."
Teleka Cassandra Patrick, 33, AKA Teleka Calderon from Kalamazoo, Mich. was last seen on Dec. 4, 2013 in the parking lot of Borgess Medical Center. Teleka was a 1st year medical resident doing her residency at Borgess Medical Center in Kalamazoo, after getting her Ph.D. last spring.
Teleka's disappearance went national when surveillance video came out that showed Teleka trying to get a room at the Raddison hotel with cash, but because she didn't have enough money she was not able to. The footage also shows her walking with a Raddison employee to a shuttle bus which took her back to her car that was parked at the medical center. No one knows where she went from there, but her car was found at the Harbor exit.
"She was dropped off at her vehicle that was believed to have been parked in the Borgess parking lot," stated the sheriff's department.
On January 3, Marvin Sapp, a gospel singer and pastor of Lighthouse Full Life Center Church in Grand Rapids, Teleka stated that Teleka had been telling everyone that she was his wife and even talked to his teen children and had been to his home. He filed and was granted a restraining order against Teleka on Sept. 17.
A video on YouTube showed Teleka talking to someone, but it was never disclosed or assumed who that person was.
The Lake Charles area was searched extensively shortly after Teleka's car was found parked near Lake Charles in Porter back in December. The lake was frozen at the time, and nothing was found even with the use of sonar.
Tracking dogs led officials to the road and police at the time believed that someone had probably picked up Teleka and driven off.
Kalamazoo County Sheriff Richard Fuller said Wednesday in a news conference they believe that Teleka's death was caused by drowning, and there were no signs of trauma or foul play. Her body was fully clothed with car keys, $100 cash and a pager.

Email Rock Island Railroad Depot
Wednesdays – Sundays
1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
The two-story Rock Island Railroad Depot is a historic stop that's
sure to impress. The
Rock Island Railroad Depot is one of two remaining brick Rock Island
Railroad Depots in Nebraska and is the largest depot still in existence
between Chicago and Denver.
Of the 36 Rock Island Depots built in Nebraska, the Fairbury Depot
is the only one that has been restored to it's historical integrity.
Fairbury's Depot, which housed the Western Division Headquarters
of the Rock Island Railroad, is now a Rock Island Railroad museum.
It houses Rock Island Railroad artifacts and displays memorabilla
donated by former railroad employees and their families. When you
visit the Fairbury Rock Island Railroad Depot, you'll see the restored
main lobby, ticket office, lounges, and baggage areas. A large
model train display is sure to delight visitors of all ages.
The second floor, which once housed the trainmaster's office, superintendent's office, telegrapher and dispatch rooms. These areas are a children's interpretive area, conference room, curator's office, model train room, and restored telegraph room.
The beautiful gardens that once graced the front of the Rock Island Depot have been restored and highlight the Rock Island Railroad Memory Wall, constructed by Endicott Clay Products. The Rock Island Railroad Depot has meeting room space available for special programs and meetings, and also a gift shop specializing in train souvenirs.
Special all-day programs are held the first weekend in June and each December. Museum hours are Wednesdays thru Sundays from 1-5 pm, with tours by appointment. Join us the first weekend in June for Rock Island Rail Days.
Those That Have Gone Before May Still Be With Us.
Whos Really Living in the Rock Island Depot?
Fairbury Journal-News
Humans may not be the only visitors to the old Rock Island Depot.
At the southern edge of Fairbury, bounded by tracks on the south, is the Rock Island Museum, formerly the Rock Island Depot. This two story brick building has seen the comings and goings of many people traveling north, south, east or west since the 1800s.
At one time, trains were considered the fastest and most exclusive form of travel, so this depot played host to every type of individual. It wasn't until 1980 that the Rock Island closed this depot as trains began to diminish as a popular form of travel.
The Fairbury Depot is one of only two brick depots that remain standing on the old Rock Island line in Nebraska, and is the only one that has been restored to its original splendor.
The depot is now the home of artifacts of the past railroad history donated by train enthusiasts and past railroaders and family. It has drawn visitors from all over the nation.
Questions that are often asked are, "Are artifacts the only thing from the past that the museum houses?" and "Are museum fans the only visitors that it attracts?"
Denise Andersen, curator for the Rock Island Museum, will confidently say that there is much more at the depot than what meets the eye. She has gotten used to calling out greetings as she hears doors open and close only to find she has greeted empty space.
Floors creak in sequence, much like footsteps would sound down the hall not to mention the shadows that flicker past the corner of your field of vision. It has become normal for Andersen to come into her office and find cabinet doors open.
"It is almost like they are looking for something," laughed Andersen. "But this was a school before the depot was built on this ground so you never know."
Over the past four or five years, Andersen has had several requests from different paranormal groups in the area to come and investigate the depot. Andersen reports that there have been at least four separate investigations and each time upon completion of the investigation the group asks if they can return for a second investigation.
"One group has come back twice to investigate already and have found the attic the most intimidating spot," Andersen explains. "The other groups have all requested a return visit based on information that they had gotten the first time."
Andersen points out that there has been a lot of coming and going for people at the depot. There have also been unexpected deaths at the depot due to heart attacks from passengers.
The most tragic story, she shared, was the great train wreck of 1894.
The Rock Island train departed from Fairbury carrying a full load to Lincoln.
Among the passengers was William O. Hambel, along with Col. C. J. Bills who was later to become the head of the Nebraska National Guard. They were traveling to Lincoln to attend a meeting to discuss the Spanish-American War and the involvement of the Nebraska National Guard. It was on that fateful trip originating from Fairbury's depot that "the holocaust caused by fiends" occurred quoting the Nebraska State Journal on Aug. 10, 1894.
It was discovered that someone had pried the rails loose, pulling out spikes leaving them lying on the bridge. The wreck resulted in the loss of 11 lives (at least from Fairbury) and injuries to many others.
W.O. Hambel's belongings were transferred to his home. However over the years his traveling trunk made its way into an auction. A gentleman bought the trunk and upon seeing the name and the Rock Island passage stickers donated the trunk to the Rock Island Museum.
Could it be W. O. Hambel's ghost is following his trunk through the years and over the miles? That is one question that has frequently been asked. It has yet to be fully answered.
Andersen reported that when renovations began in 1997 unexplained activity appeared to increase. She has gotten used to the unexplained knocks and shadows play as part of her everyday life at the museum. Nothing has ever happened to cause her distress although she does admit to taking second to catch her breath once in a while.
It is said that ghosts and spirits are most active two or three days before and after the full or new moon. Each October, Rock Island Museum conducts late night tours of their facility to help celebrate Halloween, the suggested time span for ghost sightings. These will only be tours for those who would like to experience the depot in the dark of night.
One never knows who they may meet along the way.

Census Bureau releases county-to-county relocation stats
WASHINGTON a March 28, 2012 a The U.S. Census Bureau today released estimates from the American Community Survey showing how many people migrated from one specific county to another during the course of a year a the first such numbers published since the 2000 Census.
Miami-Dade ranked fifth in number of county-to-county moves nationally a and most households moved next door to Broward County.
The 2005-2009 American Community Survey County-to-County Migration Files show both a inflowsa and a outflows.a Inflows are the number of people living in a given county who lived in another county one year earlier; outflows represent the number of people who lived in a particular county one year earlier who subsequently moved to another county.
Of the 48.1 million people who moved in the United States one year earlier, 17.7 million went to a different county, so slightly over one-third of all movers crossed at least one county line.
Maricopa, Ariz., had the largest number of inflows of people for any single county in the nation. People moved there from 993 different counties. However, Maricopa also had the greatest number of people moving out to many locations, sending former residents to a total of 1,156 counties. This means that individuals leaving Maricopa were more dispersed throughout the country than individuals leaving any other county.
All in all, the most common county-to-county moves nationally were from Los Angeles to San Bernardino, Calif. (48,456 people) and Los Angeles to Orange, Calif. (41,612). Los Angeles to Riverside, Calif. (29,710); Orange, Calif., to Los Angeles (29,345); and Miami-Dade to Broward, Fla. (27,010).

Notes & Reviews:
Pierre Monteux is featured on this specially-priced live recording taken from a concert at Berlin's Hochschule für Musik. It is particularly special because Monteux conducted the Berlin Philharmonic on only two occasions - in 1933 and again for this 1960 concert. The program includes Beethoven's third Leonore Overture, Strauss's Till Eulenspiegel, Stravinsky's Petrushka and Saint-Saens' Violin Concerto No.3. The soloist in the concerto is the orchestra's famous leader Michel Schwalbé, and the album's release is a timely tribute to the violinist who died in October, 2012 at the age of 92.Notes & Reviews:

Acer Liquid Z2 and E1 officially announced, both have dual SIM versions
Acer has officially announced a brand new Android smartphone, called Liquid Z2, at the same time also providing launch details for the Liquid E1 seen last month.
Both new handsets have dual SIM versions, are made for "feature phone upgraders, first-time and multimedia users", and come with AcerCloud – Acer's free "file sharing and media management solution that lets users easily retrieve, enjoy and share their multimedia and data files using a variety of computing devices."
The Liquid E1 features a 4.5 inch qHD display, 1GHz dual-core processor, dual-speaker system, DTS Sound and a 5MP rear camera. The Z2 only sports a 3.5 inch HVGA display, but keeps the dual-core 1GHz processor.
While the E1 certainly runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, it's not clear if the Z2 comes with JB, too (Ice Cream Sandwich would be disappointing anyway). There are no images of the Z2 for the moment, but we can take a look (again) at the E1:
According to Acer, the Liquid E1 and Z2 will be launched first in France, Netherlands, Belgium and Ukraine, then in Russia, UK and Italy. Unfortunately, the company didn't mention how much the handsets would cost. Both devices will be presented at MWC 2013 next week.
Acer did not say if it's also going to showcase the Intel-powered Liquid C1 at MWC.

Should we stick with our plan to keep our baby's sex a secret until after the birth?
My husband and I found out our baby's gender, but we want to keep it a secret until after the birth. Now friends and family members are upset and annoyed with us because we're not telling. I have ten weeks to go -- should we stick to our guns or just tell them?

It is YOUR right to NOT tell. Honestly? I get sick of rude people. Tell them it is YOUR personal decision and if it bothers them OH WELL-Get over it!posted 06/05/2007 by editinginprocess7
My DH and I didn't want to know what our first baby's gender was because its one of the few true surprises left in life. However, we were (and still) are under a tremendous amount of presure to tell our family members what it is and what we're going to name it. To the point that I got into an all out yelling match with my father in law for not granting him access to my medical records so HE could know the sex of the baby when we didn't! All of this was becasue aperently, its impossi ble to prepare for the arival of a little one with out that bit of knowledge. Aperently you can't buy a crib, bottles, dipers, or Anything unless you know for certain the baby's gender despite the fact that people got along just fine for millinia before chromosone tests and ultrasounds. Like everyone else is saying, stick to your guns! The kid is your's and your husbands charge, and nobody else has the right to harass you for your personal desisions in this matter.posted 05/03/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
the funny thing is, keeping the secret to yourself is kinda fun...and besides, through experience, more people are apt to buy you things you will need for a shower, and you get more of a variety when not telling someone... you tell them you are having a girl, and everyone buys you the cutest dresses for newborns, (likely to be the same as you get from someone else), that all they are going to do is spit up on. so if you are iffy, and you kinda want to tell them, tell them at the end of the baby shower.. :) that would kill them for sure. lol. honestly though, you want to keep it a secret, go for it. no one is going to do the work of raising a child for you, so why do they "have" to know?posted 11/19/2007 by karizmalynn

I am 17 weeks along, and feel strongly about not divulging gender or potential names. For now, it is all we have that is our own to enjoy. Announcing the pregnancy has taken a bit of the intimacy away. Let something still be yours; the world will know soon enough. I vote stick to your guns. Best wishes!posted 05/16/2004 by unasperanza
It's your news to share - no one elses. If you don't want share, don't.posted 04/19/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
My sister did this for her first pregnancy. We knew it was a girl (I was in the room with her) but she didn't want anyone else to know. In the end, it was more hassle than anything else. For #2 and #3, she made sure to let people know what the gender was. I can understand if you want to wait to find out yourself on the birth day but if you already know, what's the point of keeping it a secret?posted 12/03/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
My husband and I are not finging out the gender and it is interesting how threatened people who have found out are by that. Everyone's first response is always "oh, well I had to know, I am just such a planner". Like we aren't planning for the arrival of our baby because we didn't find out the gender! Stick to your guns. It is your baby... your decision!posted 08/04/2010 by mary11307
