Teens sleeping over with their boyfriend/girlfriend
Posted in the Cape Girardeau Forum
#1 Sep 6, 2010
My 15-year-old daughter recently had an argument with her (ex-)boyfriend. Apparently there are teenage girls in Cape and Jackson who are allowed to spend the night with their boyfriends. He has friends who do this and wanted to know when they could start having their sleepovers. My daughter was stunned and didn't know how to reply to this. Apparently the trend is the girls spend the night in their own homes and the boyfriend sleeps in the girls' room with her WITH parental knowledge. My daughter told her boyfriend that this would never be allowed in our home and broke up with him. After hearing this, I started asking some of these parents questions about it. One Mom from Jackson told me, "We love "Bobby" and figure they will have sex anyway. This way they are in our home and we know they are safe." I had to pick my jaw up off the floor. Another girl has been friends with my son for years and told him her new boyfriend has been sleeping over. She is 17. My daughter told me about four others and the puzzle is coming together. I am most shocked about who is allowing this to go on. I know this is 2010 and times have changed but this is beyond crazy. Is this a new fad or something because I cannot think of anything else that could ruin a girl's reputation faster. And aren't all the parents worried there will be a pregnancy or are the parents putting these kids on birth control also.

Safer having sex at home? Uhhh, your daughter will get an STD or a baby whether she's at home or not. What idiots. Call me old fashioned,(I'm 28) but my daughter will NOT be having any co-ed sleepovers until she's out on her own. I also think your daughter's boyfriend may be a liar if he's claiming "everyone" is doing it, because I know A LOT of parents would never have this in their home.

i know of parents that are letting this happen, but the one's that i know of are the boy's parents letting the girls spend the night, probably because the girl's parents don't know about it.
my husband even ok'd it for my step-son's girlfriend to sleepover, i live in a dictatorship and there wasn't a damn thing that i could do about it, except leave, which is a whole other story. anyway, she ended up pregnant and that is a whole other mess that we have to deal with. i know that teenagers are going to do whatever they want. it is the parents job to teach them right from wrong, start in the early years by setting a good example.
my husband now wants to know when i plan on putting my 13 yr old daughter on the pill!!! never!!!! all that does is just ok it for her to be little whore.
#4 Sep 6, 2010
Yeah, teenagers will most likely do what they want, but their parents should NOT be enablers.

Elphaba I'm sorry to hear you married a retard. Sounds like you need to get yourself and your daughter away from this perverted guy and his johnny appleseed son. First because your daughter is seeing a dysfunctional "dictatorship" family life, and second, it wouldn't suprise me if someone in that house isn't a negative influence by encouraging your daughter to do whatever she wants. Personally, I think these parents should be put on a sex registry if they allow their underage kids to have co-ed sleepovers. Just sayin...

My son is 21 and living at home and goes to college. I know he and his girlfriend are probably having sex , but until he is out on his own there will be no sleepovers. agaive me a break. Parents who allow this are playing with firw. You never know who these girls are or their true age.
#7 Sep 6, 2010
My daughter has two 17 year old friends that do this. One of the girls shares her bed with boyfriend every night. Dad works out of town and mom allows this. I'm not sure how much dad knows. To top it all off the boyfriend openly cheats on her with other girls. The second girl lies to her parents and says she is sleeping over at another girlfriends house. She actually stays with her boyfriend. his parents know what is going on. He is 16. These parents should be charged with child endangerment in my opinion. These are prominent families and both would be offended if someone called their daughter a bad name. This has been driving me crazy for months.
#8 Sep 6, 2010
Yes kids will find a way to sneak around and have sex. Why make it easier for them to have sex??? I'd rather my daughter be a sneaky shit and find a way to have sex once a week vs letting her have sex every night. Of course, I'd rather my daughter or son be honest w me about it and not sneak around. I sure wouldn't be letting someone shack up with them. People are fuckin idiots.
#9 Sep 6, 2010
When are you all gonna wake up and smell the fucking roses. The more you keep them from doing it the more they are going to want to do it. No point in trying to avoid the inevitable. Teach them about protection and you shouldn't have a problem. When i was 16 I did this and I think I'm now one of the few out of my graduating class that doesn't have a baby. This is 2010, not 1910. It's just like the underage drinking problem. Funny how USA is the only country with a 21 year old drinking age, but has one of the biggest problems with underage drinking. Europeans have 16/18 drinking ages or no drinking age at all in some countries, funny how they do not have the same problems we do.

This goes on in every town and what is the most shocking is that mother's of teen age girls allow their daughter's boyfriends to stay the night.Guess they really want more grandkids then they already have,only diffrence is the mother will be raising another baby too since her daughter is still in high school.
#11 Sep 6, 2010
Get protection. Wear condom, get on the pill, etc. Is it really that hard to do? If all else fails there is always the option of abortion. But not everybody agrees with it.
#12 Sep 6, 2010
My parents did not allow me to do it in the 1980s and guess what, I did not have to deal with an unwanted pregnancy or an STD either. You got lucky I guess. I also did not have a bad reputation and people did not consider me a whore. I guess it was inevitable that someone would defend this and you seem to be from our younger generation. Big surprise.
#13 Sep 6, 2010
Years ago it was rare for a young lady in high school to have a baby and if they did the family was mortified. Today there are tons of teenage pregnancies with girls even getting pregnant on purpose. I personally think in this case the old fashioned attitude is better. If I have to put my teenage daughter on birth control and allow her boyfriend to sleepover, I do not consider that progress and never will. I am conservative but have always considered myself a liberal conservative LOL. If we close our eyes and ignore this, I am afraid that eventually everyone will actually be doing this.
#14 Sep 6, 2010
Yeah I'm 25 so think want you want. One way to put an end to it would be no government aid for those pregnant under the age of 18. But I highly doubt in this day and age of "Have more babies, cash in via tax refund money" that is what is going to happen. If you aren't part of the solution you are part of the problem in my eyes.
#16 Sep 6, 2010
Murder is not an option to me. Of course, there are still teenagers that are going to sneak around but does that mean the parents should condone it. Nooooo! I don't. Hopefully, you will understand when you have your own children, hopefully for their sake.
#17 Sep 6, 2010
I can't have kids because I had a vasectomy performed. Nothing about kids appeals to me. No way I can get a girl pregnant. And don't tell me I'll regret it because I know I won't.
#18 Sep 6, 2010
I'm not judging you at all but I am wondering if sleeping w your girlfriend as a teen made your life better or set you up to be promiscuous the rest of your life in your opinion. I mean did you go on to college or get married. I you got married is this your first marriage or multiple? I know you don't want children. I guess I'm just wondering if you think being allowed to sleep over as a teen made your life better or if it set you up for heartache later on. I think allowing my child to dk this would hurt her self esteem and take away her self respect. Just wondering what your take is from someone who has been there.
#19 Sep 6, 2010
The more you try to prevent it the harder they try...... I don't buy that shit. That just means YOUR child is rebellious and you need some parenting classes. Don't put all teens in that group. There are smart kids out there and parents who put their foot down.
#21 Oct 21, 2011
My son has presented this idea to me. In a nutshell, my response , The Holiday Inn is a couple of miles away, you have to pay for a room. Wait a minute, you don't have a job! Focus on graduating high school, so you can go off to college if you choose to do so. Until then, I pay the bills, rent, food, and everything else around here! Last I checked, you do not have any responsibilities of this kind. Kindly take your head out of your ass or move out! Become a responsible, ethical man first!
#22 Oct 21, 2011
The thought that "they're gonna have sex anyway" is grossly untrue. By assuming all kids are having sex, you promote it to become true. My parents were somewhat strict, but had they not been and had I not been raised with respect for myself, I probably could have fallen victim to the whole "teen looooove" the "we're gonna be together forever" BS. It's NOT true that if you prohibit something it'll end up hurting them more. I'm 22, in a healthy, stable relationship with my fiance and I never did anything while I was in highschool.
My future children will NEVER have co-ed sleepovers like that!

http://biz.yahoo.com/e/040312/ssnc10-k.htmlAnd for this paltry increase it deserves a PE of 43? and a PEG of 2?IBD gives99EPS 93 C+ B C-acc/dist99EPS now where do they get that #? From EPS growth? I don't see that mentioned in the 10QIBD hypes stocks until they reach #1 then abandons them.
Look at SSNC's cash flow from operations for fiscal '03. Pre-split and pre-secondary, it was just under $2 per share, admittedly with some favorable balance sheet contribution. If you say $2 per share cash flow at it's high of $50 per share, (again, all pre-split and pre-secondary)that's only a "PE" of 25 on cash flow, which people and the theorist say is more important than earnings. A Ratio of 25 ain't that exorbitant, plus it's on '03 "trailing"vs. future earnings/cash flow in 2004 which everyone seemsto agree will be higher.
Does anyone know when the secondary will be priced? I don't want the price or who's doing it, just the DAY it will be priced!! After the pricing, most secondarys experience a run-up. That's why I wan the day!! thanks
Precisely my point about this company. And outsourcing was only up 4.7%, and licensing was down. The revenue growth doesn't warrant a PE of 43.It's not hard to cut a mature software company's costs to the bone and make some short term gains. That's what appears to have happened with SSNC. Well, the stock is down 30% since the secondary announcement. There's alot more to go. $17 is my target.

Have to ST again after teething???
Comments (8)
Have you adjusted his schedule recently? Fighting sleep time isn't always teething. He may need more wake time. It requires a lot of tweaking at this age.
Teething lasts the better part of 6-24 months. How you handle it will determine whether there's a setback to be corrected after. Eta: crying before sleeps will come and go especially as he gets older. It's up to you to determine whether it's protest, illness, or schedule related and act accordingly. It's not always easy to do that, I know. But muddling through some crying here and there isn't necessarily sleep training.
Having the same issue and desperate! Just 10 month old did really well as we started to ST about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Went down easily, got himself to sleep with little fussing after the 1st night or two. He'd wake once around 12, then 4-5 to nurse at both. Went down easily after those feedings. We even had one sleep through the night! The last 3 days, at least, he's woken in the night and has been a struggle to get down for naps and now night. His hour+ long crying is killing me. We go in 10 minutes, then 15, etc. I'm also worried what was working is being "undone". He's teething too. So many people have talked about the early bedtime which I'm wondering if thats a part of it? Tried to have him down by 7:50 tonight (that was the 1st I laid him down after nursing him, he was essentially sleeping in my arms), didn't fall asleep until 9:00! HELP!

Nutrition Profile

- 2 pints fresh strawberries, hulled
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup nonfat vanilla yogurt
- 1/2 cup nonfat sour cream
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 cup all-purpose white flour
- 1 cup unsifted cake flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 tablespoon low-fat milk, for brushing
- 1 tablespoon sugar, for sprinkling
- To make filling: If strawberries are large, slice them. Put the strawberries in a bowl, sprinkle with 1/2 cup sugar and refrigerate while you bake shortcakes.
- Blend yogurt and sour cream in a small bowl; set aside in the refrigerator.
- To make shortcakes: Preheat oven to 425°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray; set aside.
- Combine buttermilk and oil and set aside. Whisk flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Using your fingertips or 2 knives, cut butter into the dry ingredients until crumbly. Make a well in the center and gradually pour in the reserved buttermilk/oil mixture, stirring with a fork just until combined.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and sprinkle with a little flour. Lightly knead the dough 8 times, then pat or roll out to an even 3/4-inch thickness. Use a 2 1/2-inch round or star cookie cutter to cut out 8 shortcakes. Transfer them to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
- To bake & assemble shortcakes: Bake the shortcakes until golden, 12 to 16 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool slightly.
- Split the shortcakes with a serrated knife. Set the bottoms on dessert plates, spread with some of the yogurt cream, spoon on the strawberries and juices and crown with the shortcake lids. Top with a dollop of yogurt cream and serve.

Tell Me How You Really Feel, Bro
June 6, 2016 | by Thomas Mann
In December 1903, Thomas Mann wrote his older brother, Heinrich, a long letter reviewing the latter's novel—with brutal candor. Some of the most scathing bits are below. The complete missive is in The Letters of Heinrich and Thomas Mann, 1900–1949.
My impressions? They are not exactly very pleasant—which impressions, indeed, don't absolutely need to be. It didn't exactly make agreeable reading—which, indeed, however, is absolutely not necessary either. I struggled back and forth with the book, threw it aside, took it up again, groaned, complained, and then got tears in my eyes again … For days, in the lowest barometric pressure in a hundred years (according to the meteorologist), I went about in the agony your book caused in me. Now I know approximately what I have to say to you.
That I am not in agreement with your literary development—that must finally be said … When I think back ten, eight, five years! How do you appear to me? How were you? A refined connoisseur—next to whom I seemed to myself eternally plebeian, barbaric, and buffoonish—full of discretion and culture, full of reserve toward "modernity" and historically as talented as could be, free of all need for applause, a delicate and proud persaaonlity for whose literary endeavors there would quite probably be a select and receptive public … And now, instead of that? Instead, now these strained jokes, these vulgar, shrill, hectic, unnatural calumnies of the truth and humanity, these disgraceful grimaces and somersaults, the desperate attacks on the reader's interest! … I read them and I don't know you anymore. The psychological constant of the work, the desire of weak artificiality for life, this desire that would gladly masquerade as amorous desire within the lonely and sensuous artist—how is it supposed to move, to work convincingly when not even an attempt is being made to come close to life, to observe and capture even the air of the inner impulse of this simple madcap? Everything is distorted, screaming, exaggerated, "bellows," "buffo," romantic in the bad sense … Read More »
A Raving Maniac of the Cinema
June 3, 2016 | by Dante A. Ciampaglia
The anticriticism of Jonas Mekas.
Discussion of American film criticism in the sixties and seventies tends to hew to the Andrew Sarris–Pauline Kael binary. Their legendary, exasperating debate over auteurism and the One True Criticism shaped a generation of writers and the trajectory of film culture, so much so that both writers and their acolytes still haunt the field. But while Sarris/the cultists and Kael/the Paulettes slap-fought at center stage, a third party lobbed firecrackers from the back of the theater—at them, at anyone, at everyone—to disrupt of the status quo and redefine "cinema art."
Jonas Mekas, now ninety-three, occupies an outsize yet virtually ignored place in the pantheon of film criticism. In 1955, he cofounded the influential magazine Film Culture, which in a 1962–1963 issue included both Sarris's landmark "Notes on the Auteur Theory, 1962" and Manny Farber's seminal "White Elephant Art vs. Termite Art." Three years later, on November 12, 1958, he introduced film criticism to the Village Voice. But rather than adjudicate the week's releases, his "Movie Journal" column was a pulpit for spreading the gospel of underground cinema and the launchpad for broadsides against the establishment and its critics, censorship and its enforcers. Mekas claims a lot of titles—pioneering filmmaker, poet, activist, organizer, rabble-rouser, patron saint of the underground—but, he stated bluntly in 1968, "I am not a critic. I don't criticize. I am a cold, objective, 'piercing' eye that watches things and sees where they are and where they are going and I'm bringing all these facts to your attention." Read More »
Timbuktu's Massive Book Heist, and Other News
April 25, 2016 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Today in censored statues: in Italy, the fashionable thing to do with one's nude statues is not to display them but to conceal them with some plywood or maybe a heavy drop-cloth or whatever else you've got lying around. The Capitoline Venus, which resides in the hall of the Capitoline Museums, in Rome, was boxed up last month to preserve the delicate sensibilities of the visiting Iranian president, but really this sort of thing happens all the time: "True, some discussions were had. According to one journalist, questions were raised about the conspicuous testicles of Marcus Aurelius's horse in the equestrian statue which also graces the hall … This kind of artistic censorship is remarkably common in Italy, to the point of being frequently unreported. As journalist Giovanna Vitale has pointed out, for instance, it had been only five months since a nude by Jeff Koons in a Florentine palace included in the itinerary of sheik Mohammed Bin Zayed al Nahyan was concealed … And—in case you think it's only heads of state of the Muslim faith who are reserved this peculiar treatment—it was eight months since posters of a Tamara de Lempicka exhibition in Turin ... were covered to save the Pope from certain emotional trauma."
- A few months ago, I used this space to hawk Saul Bellow's ten-thousand-dollar desk, which was not, at the time, a hot seller. But things have changed. That desk is gone. As Bellow's son Daniel explained to Atlas Obscura: "All of a sudden, everyone from famous journalists to doctors from the Mayo Clinic contacted him about purchasing his father's desk … In the end, though, Bellow's desk was sold to his son's niece, who matched the top bid at the auction, and kept the desk in the family … The desk will be put in his niece's new home in Hudson, New York. As for the money from the auction, Daniel says he is going to use it to build a kiln chimney in his new pottery studio."
- Faced with an al-Qaida invasion, librarians in Timbuktu oversaw a massive smuggling operation in which some 300,000 rare books and manuscripts were secreted away to safety: "The first thing we're going to do is get them out of these big libraries. We're going to take trunks. We're going to pack them into trunks at night when the rebels are asleep, and then we're going to move them in the dead of night by mule cart to these various houses—safe houses scattered around the city. And hopefully they'll be safe for the duration of this occupation … They're in about a dozen climate-controlled storage rooms in Bamako, the capital of Mali."
- In which Meghan O'Gieblyn decides to give Updike a chance, takes Couples off the shelf, and finds … many things she expected and a few she didn't: "There was plenty in the book that lived up to Updike's contemporary reputation: women who think things no woman would think ('She had wanted to bear Ken a child, to brew his excellence in her warmth') … There are many passages in which Updike's prodigious gifts as a prose artist are given over to the effects of gravity on women's bodies. Nobody can write the female body in decay quite like Updike. So clinical and unrelenting is his gaze, he manages to call attention to signs of aging that even I—someone in possession of a female body—had never considered. 'Age had touched only the softened line of her jaw and her hands,' he writes of Piet's wife, Angela, 'their stringy backs and reddened fingertips' … What intrigued me most about Couples, though, was the sense of doom that undercuts the orgy."
- Jonas Mekas was the first film critic for the Village Voice, and a new collection of his critical writing reveals "an artistic time capsule of New York at a moment of crucial energy": "There's a live-wire spontaneity to Mekas's writing, an excitement sparked by his sense of beauty, by his sheer pleasure in cinematic imagination, and it's connected to a soulful sense of inwardness and empathy … What energizes his discussions and exhortations is the impulse behind the films, rather than the films themselves—the lives and dreams of the artists, the harsh demands placed on filmmakers by the effort to create homemade, self-financed, independent films, made by oneself and one's friends. These are films that repudiate openly the conventions of the commercial cinema, the norms and limits on subject matter and representation, while the filmmakers submit to a horrific range of deprivations and afflictions for the sake of their art. In effect, Mekas offers, both in and as film criticism, extraordinary and enduring sketches of downtown lives."
Little Match Girl
April 13, 2016 | by Sadie Stein
The first time I remember lying about why I was crying was in second grade. I'd burst out sobbing in the middle of social studies and, rather than admit I'd been thinking about the plot of "The Little Match Girl," I claimed vaguely that there was some problem at home, prompting a humiliating private lunch with my teacher and a parent-teacher conference. You'd think that would have cured me.
But being upset about nothing is galling. It's hard to explain to a stranger on the subway that no, tears are actually rolling down your cheeks because of an episode of The People v. O. J. Simpson, or a piece of music you're not even listening to. Read More »
Here's to Hearing the Hum, and Other News
April 11, 2016 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Though his criticism can be acid, and though it sometimes deploys words like gassy, Michael Hofmann isn't "a lit-crit Johnny Fartpants," experts say: "As he sits in an incongruously rowdy Hamburg bar, all shy eyes and nervous hands, one is reminded that he is also a poet and translator: a humble servant of words, not just their sneering judge. In smooth RP tones that belie his German parentage, he explains that none of his hatchet jobs were written out of personal animosity … 'I have a sense of the enterprise being ecological,' he says. 'There is so much excessive praise and excessive interest in the books world, and it's all too focused on too few people. If you cut things down to scale, you do something good.' "
- Tinnitus is more than a condition. It's a worldview. Or so it is if you're among the lucky 2 percent of the population who can hear the Hum, widely reported as "a low, distant rumbling, like an idling diesel engine, mostly audible at night, mostly noticeable indoors." Colin Dickey looked into it: "Hum sufferers have been consistently written off as either delusional or simply suffering from tinnitus … It's important to remember that there's so much we still don't know about how hearing works. We know low-frequency waves can cause pain, nausea, and other deleterious effects on humans—indeed, the United States and other governments have long experimented with using sound and vibration as nonlethal weapons … Add to this the fact that since the early twentieth century we've been bombarding the atmosphere with all manner of frequencies and waves. Rather than dismiss Hum hearers as delusional tinnitus sufferers, the question that might be better asked is why don't more of us hear it?"
- There's an argument to be made that any and all instances of the Hum are in fact to be pinned on Tony Conrad, the experimental filmmaker and drone-music progenitor, who died last week at seventy-six: "After his graduation in 1962, Mr. Conrad briefly worked as a computer programmer and immersed himself in New York's experimental music scene. As part of Mr. Young's ensemble, he performed seemingly improvisational pieces that involved holding notes for what might have felt like hours at a time. Some audiences found the music maddening; others were exalted. 'It appeared as if Schoenberg had destroyed music,' Mr. Conrad said … 'Then it appeared as if Cage had destroyed Schoenberg. Our project was to destroy Cage.' "
- For aesthetes, the mug shot provides a great reason to avoid a life of crime—it's so unforgiving, so permanent. A new exhibition at the Met, "Crime Stories: Photography and Foul Play," looks at its history: "In the 1870s, a Parisian policeman named Alphonse Bertillon pioneered the mug shot as part of his 'anthropometric' system of criminal identification based on minute physical measurements. For no pay, he spent his free hours examining inmates at La Santé prison, using calipers and rulers to record the length and width of prisoners' fingers, noses, foreheads, and mouths … If one measure of a photograph's power is the extent to which it inspires us to fill in the circumstances around it, then the mug shot of a 1930s Baltimore shoplifter is a small masterpiece of portraitist art. A woman in her late forties, with whitening blonde hair, turns slightly away from the police photographer's camera with a mix of melancholia and trapped defiance. The flesh around her left eye is badly bruised, a messy black puddle that spills along her cheek and temple. Who slugged her—the department store security guard, the arresting cop, the shopkeeper himself, or an intimate friend? Her lips are thin and subtly crooked, her jawline is just beginning to sag. The life before (and after) the picture rushes in on you in an imagined story of filled-in time."
- Violette Leduc was a protégé of Simone de Beauvoir, and yet she seldom appears on syllabi—why? "A journey through Leduc's rejections, documented in her autobiographies La bâtarde (1964) and Mad in Pursuit (1970), lay bare the insidious gatekeeping that money and masculinity exert on literary inclusion, then and now. Leduc was born poor and illegitimate; her mother is the help, her father is the heir and she, the child of their furtive union, is unwanted … De Beauvoir spent her time earning the title 'intellectual.' Her story is one of early erudition, acing exams, stunning philosophical acuity and a romantic (if also conveniently strategic) alliance with Sartre. In Leduc, she sees the authenticity that she theorizes, and in playing midwife to her self-exposition she seeks the vindication of her philosophy. In existentialism, we are all free to choose, exercise our radical free will; the constraints of past experience can be shaken off, truth told and freedom achieved. Leduc's life, told in her writing, has to be evidence of the truth of this. De Beauvoir's feminism, unleavened by any literal struggles with the whims of men, needs Leduc's literary liberation to prove its practical application."
Rambling Through Rio, and Other News
March 11, 2016 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Today in zits: if you like to spend your free time watching grotesque pimple-popping sessions on YouTube, you're not alone. (I may or may not have dedicated an hour to zit vids in the very recent past.) Sandra Lee, a dermatologist, has turned her science into art, posting "extraction" videos and picking up 850,000 subscribers along the way: "Sensing an untapped audience, Lee began posting more videos of things popping from the skin, and her audience gradually grew … Her online fans didn't seem to mind the ick; in fact, many of them relished it. Some fans reported that their mouths inexplicably watered when they saw a particularly juicy pop; others claimed that they found the videos so soothing that they used them as a sleep aid. Lee began setting videos to punnily titled music, like Duke Ellington's 'Just Squeeze Me (But Please Don't Tease Me).' "
- "Milking the rest of it," a new poem by Dorothea Lasky, is rich in bodily fluids, too: "Turn the faucet on / Turn the breast on / Emptied completely of milk / With the tiny hoses in a row … "
- The photographer Kurt Klagsbrunn captured the people of midcentury Rio as no one else could: as a stranger. Ali Pechman writes—"A Jewish Austrian refugee, he arrived in the city in 1940 and photographed its people and places until 1960, the year the government decamped for Brasília … He took no less than 100,000 photographs of his new city. The austerity of his early pictures quickly gives way to crowded street scenes with a focus on character, whether a trolley fish seller, a carnival samba dancer, or a Carioca walking her dog in Copacabana. A chic young journalist eyes the camera suspiciously as two white-coated waiters dote on her; a grisly greengrocer looks on tiredly from inside his shop … The photographer's own off-kilter sense of humor is never out of sight."
- Today in critical shrugs: a critic shrugs. That critic is Barry Schwabsky, who understands the degree to which his role is in flux: "I have to admit that the critic's loss of power doesn't worry me much. I don't see my job as mainly that of making or breaking artists' reputations, or of informing collectors or curators what they ought to buy or exhibit. If they don't listen to me, fine; I have other responsibilities toward art … If there is a crisis in art criticism, it has to do instead with an inner transformation in the nature of art itself. What if art no longer requires a public—that is, someone like the active spectator Duchamp spoke about? That would be a conundrum, for the critic would no longer have a position from which to evaluate art. It's not impossible, and it's not even a new idea: Back in 1966, for example, Allan Kaprow called for "the elimination of the audience"—for participation rather than a merely "empathic response." In recent years, in great part as a result of their revulsion toward the financialization and globalization of art, more and more artists have been taking this idea seriously, avoiding the audience and instead working only with participants, with collaborators and communities."
- Meanwhile, in China: everyone is really into this rom-com about a mermaid. It's called, appropriately enough, The Mermaid, and it's just become China's highest-earning film of all time. How, you ask? One word, my friend: environmentalism. "The Mermaid is not pure escapist entertainment. The ills it addresses—environmental pollution and rampant speculation against the backdrop of a widening income gap—are impossible-to-ignore facts of everyday experience for a Chinese audience. The film opens with a montage of documentary-style footage: sludge pouring from factory pipes, oil-smothered animals, dolphins being herded up for slaughter … It serves a cathartic function, providing an anxious Chinese audience with an opportunity to laugh at their daily injustices, pairing an everyday violation with a larger dose of fairy tale, one in which everything will work out in the end."

I ordered this because it was so inexpensive, but it exceeded my expectations! Very true to size, but has "give" for breasts to grow before a feeding without compromising support.
The flap is easy to use and seems very sturdy and will last a long time.
Not the sexiest bra out there with lots of coverage, 4 hooks in the back and extra wide straps, but all these things make it probably the most comfortable bra I have EVER worn!
I would recommend this for pregnancy as well (I gave mine a "Trial run" in the last few weeks to see how comfortable it is)
Doesn't hide outline of nursing pads very well though, so I suggest looser fitting fabrics or layers if that bothers you. For me a regular baggy t-shirt works just fine, especially if I'm just around the house.
I wish I had this when breastfeeding our first child!
Better than other maternity bras....perfect for nursing...I soley breastfeed so I bought 4 of em'....they are cotton and very comfortable....plus they're affordable. It's the only bra I use. I use size 40D....it's perfect for larger breasts. buy it!
I got two of these and wore them the entire time I nursed my son, about 10 months, and there is even enough life left in them that I am keeping them for next time. They were sooo comfortable, the large shoulder straps were awesome and really helped me adjust to my new chest size. I got a few Motherhood bras as gifts and ended up returning them since they were horribly uncomfortable in comparison. Compared to the price of bras in maternity stores, they are an awesome deal!
Love the material, the price...unfortunately the straps do not adjust !.... so if your chest isn't right on with this bra you are sooo out of luck !....
This is the best nursing bra I have purchased, very reasonable price too! Irecommend this if you are larger breasted.
I was so happy to find this nursing bra. I had purchased this bra several years ago when I had my first baby and was needing to purchase another one for my second baby. I am large breasted (44 DD) and I have always worn underwire bras for extra support. This is a great bra which provides great support and comfort without the complications of plugged milk ducts that can arise from underwire bras. Excellent value and quality. Glad that Walmart still sells this style and brand.
I was initially searching for a nursing bra that wasn't going to brake the bank, but was comfortable. After tons of research, I stumbled upon this gem, searching Walmart as a last resort. What a bargain! And after reading a ton of the reviews decided to order 2. So glad I did! The bras are comfortable (fabric is soft) and true to size (but as one customer stated, with room to grow without compression). As a larger breasted woman, I would never imagine wearing a bra without the support of an underwire, but purchased anyway since I've heard underwires are not the best for breast feeding. Upon receiving I immediately tried it on, hoping there was still going to be the support I need without the underwire. To my satisfaction, there is plenty of support. I would not hesitate to recommend these bras to anyone. I wish my regular bras were just as comfortable. The only thing I can not attest to is the overall quality once it been washed over and over. But, seriously at $10 a pop, there is absolutely no complaints!!
This is THE BEST bra I've ever worn. I am SO glad I found it, at Walmart too no less. It is unbelievably comfortable, the straps don't fall down, and the latch for nursing was incredibly easy to handle while holding a baby. The one thing I really enjoy about this bra is that it's roomy and stretchy enough that I'm not bothered by my constant changing due to milk coming in and leaving. It is comfortable at any stage and I will be going back and purchasing MORE of these.
P.S. I don't know if this is true or not, but I heard this Bestform was a private label for the bra brand Leading Lady. I went to the website and I believe I found this exact bra on their website. So if they really are the same thing, then it must be true, and that means I will probably be trying them too. But Walmart better get ready, because I'm buying them out of this bra when I come back.
I purchased four of these bras thinking that I would probably have to return them. I didn't think that for such a low price that they could give me the support I needed while nursing. I was wrong, they are very comfortable and functional. I am top heavy so support was important and they did the job.
Best. Bra. Ever. Seriously. This is the most comfortable bra I've ever owned. I bought a bunch of expensive nursing bras that fit just before I went into labor. When I got out of the hospital... I had engorged and am now three sizes larger. I couldn't waste that kind of money again. So I bought these. Perfect fit... totally comfortable, very functional. And they make my boobs look decent... in spite of the fact that I'm now getting used to a much larger size. And they wear like experts say they should wear.
I love this bra. I'm still pregnant but I've been wearing them now because they are so comfortable; I'll just buy more when I am ready to actually use them for nursing. I was a little unsure at first because the strap is pretty tight when putting them on, as the straps do not lengthen a lot. However this means that when wearing it, the straps stay put. When you're pregnant and uncomfortable, or even more uncomfortable while nursing it is nice to have a bra that you're not constantly pulling the straps up. Also since I've "grown" a bit, this bra gives excellent support and I feel like all of my shirts look better. My only complaint is not really a complaint, just a word of warning. I am used to more lined bras with some padding, and these are not at all. So when my um, girls stand at attention, this bra doesn't hide that at all. But of course it's how they have to be made because a padded or more lined bra wouldn't make sense once you're engorged and/or using nursing pads. Just a word to the wise if you wear these while still pregnant.
I am a G bra (DDD not nursing) but squeezed into these because I cannot find any that fit me that are comfortable and while they are horribly uncomfortable they are very expensive!! These have a nice stretch to them so they feel good, support and are easy to nurse in. I have bought 5 of them to nurse our little man. So nice to find a good comfortable bra and for a very very decent price!! Keep up the good work bestform and please offer larger sizes! :)
I was excited to get this bra after reading so many good reviews. In my opinion the bra is sized a little smaller than normal bra sizes and the thick straps on top are not comfortable. They are not a soft fabric, but almost feel like they are made from a very light-weight cardboard. They don't sit right on my shoulders and are more annoying than anything else. They should have made more room to adjust the shoulder strap lengths. Try ordering a size bigger than your normal size. That might help.
This bra is really supportive for a soft cup! I love it! It does have shorter straps, in order to keep the ladies high and dry. I like that A LOT! The straps are wider and very comfortable. You can't wear it concealed under thin strapped tanks, but there is something to be said for modesty, anyhow.
You can order the bras in two different sizes, as well, in this set. I ordered a 36D and a 38D, because I was unsure how the sizing went. They both fit well and I can wear either one.
I like that they are 100% cotton and they wash and wear well. They don't rub my arm pit or bunch or bind. Just make sure you measure your size first.
I recommend these bras to anyone who is nursing. They are better than the pricey 40+ dollar bras they sell everywhere else.
After scouring numerous different sites for nursing bras, I landed on these. I figured, hey, if I hate em, I can take them back and try something else, and I got free shipping, so I'm not really out of any money. I normally wear a 42DD, so to accommodate for nursing, I ordered the 44DD. I wanted to make sure that they wouldn't be too tight in the band to sleep in, and that would also give me a full cup sz up for when my milk arrived. Upon arrival, I put one on. The adjustable wide straps are very comfortable, not scratchy, don't dig, and don't slide. The snap closure is very easy to do one-handed, and the sizing was perfect in the cup, I had room to fill out more, but was extremely supportive as it stood. Over-all, very pleased with these, they're much more comfortable than I had with my first pregnancy. They breathe very well, the stitching and construction seem quite strong, and they're quite comfortable.
I spent more than $40 a piece on two other materity bras..I was professionaly sized at the maternity store and everything! I was sooo disapointed!When I saw these I thought $20 bucks for 2..what the heck, with all the good reviews I would take a chance.FIRST.. I went to the Bestform website and did the sizing measurment chart because we are different sizes depending on the brand so I have come to learn THEN I came back and ordered what size the Bestform website sizing chart recommended.. PERFECT FIT! Comfortable and it's withstood the washing machine test. (no way am I going to have time or patience to handwash with a new born) So there it is ladies...If you read a negative review on this bra I would strongly suspect it is because they ordered without knowing there actual size. Go to Bestforms website and use there size chart and enjoy a very comfortable inexspensive bra! I love mine!
I absolutely love this nursing bra! It is very comfortable and pretty good for the money spent! Also, loved being able to purchase online because in the store sizes are very limited! Bought this bra 5 years ago when my son was born & was glad to see they still carry this brand/style 5 years later when my daughter was born! Not the prettiest thing, but for large chested women, it provides nice support!
Looking at this product online is awesome, but when it comes to your door it's a total let down. It 'looks' the same as it did on this website but the materials are really cheap and the cup size was WAY off. I bought a 36C and it felt more like a small B. This product might work better if you order a size bigger, but don't bet on it.
These are the first nursing bras that I have bought that actually fit comfortably. I have pretty large breasts, so it is generally hard to find bras that are big enough and still provide support without digging into my ribcage or shoulders! I will definitely be buying a few more of these.
I bought this bra based on the size that was recommended after I had my baby. When I received the product and tried it on the fit was a little too tight. If you do buy this bra make sure it is bigger than the size that you are wearing.

Definition of pinesap in English:
nounNorth American
A woodland plant related to wintergreen, lacking chlorophyll and bearing one or more waxy bell-shaped flowers.
- Two species in the family Monotropaceae: the violet-scented sweet pinesap (Monotropsis odorata), and the yellow bird's-nest.
Example sentences
- The flowers of Pinesap are in clusters, while each stem of Indian Pipe is solitary.
- Pinesap, like its relative Indian pipe has no chlorophyll, so it cannot obtain energy from sunlight. Instead, it gets nutrients from organic matter in the soil.
- Because Pinesap is an indirect parasite of the autotrophic plant, it is sometimes referred to as an epiparasite.

The East Peoria Community High School gymnasium was lined with booths on Friday, as students participated in an interactive career day entitled "Manufacturing in the USA." The event was designed to educate students about careers in manufacturing with displays and simulations of real work experience.
The event featured booths from vendors such as Caterpillar, Inc., ATS, Bradley University, and Illinois Central College amongst others. Displays at the career day consisted of welding simulators, HAZMAT suits, heavy duty power tools and electrical repair equipment. Many of the people running the booths worked with the equipment on a daily basis and were readily available to help inform students on the work environment and what to expect.
"If you do the research, and you ask kids what do you want to do when you grow up, manufacturing jobs are way down on the list. And I think that there's probably a stigma," said Caterpillar spokesperson Rachel Potts.
"This is just about changing the perception of manufacturing jobs. These jobs do use algebra, science and technology. It is project work, it is team work. You're not standing there doing the same thing over and over again with a conveyor belt running in front of you."
EPCHS sophomore Jeff Houston believes the event is helpful not only for his own future, but for students in general.
"If you have events like this in high schools, then kids get a pretty good idea of what they want to do, whether that's go to a factory or go get a degree," said Houston. Houston went on to say that he might entertain an apprenticeship to forgo college costs and that the event helped him learn more information.
State Sen. Dave Koehler, D-Peoria, believes events like these are important in reinforcing the manufacturing industry, but also in allowing students to have a wide spectrum on what is out there after high school.
"Well I think it's important to see what opportunities there are for students within their own area. All of the different kinds of opportunities. There is going to be a little bit of a lag getting these students the training they need and into the job market, but you must begin by planting the seeds," Said Sen. Koehler.
Approximately a year of planning went into this event and was the brainchild of East Peoria Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Rick Swan and Chamber Executive Committee President Mark Hanback. Swan was quick to point out that even though they developed the original idea, the logistics for the event were taken care of by Lori Laredo, director of operations for EPCHS, and the various employees of the vendors who volunteered.
"I don't think it has been done anywhere else. We are now approaching an era where kids having an experience where they are connected to their academia. Without that connection; they really don't see the light as far as what can happen. This kind of educational experience gives them light on the other side of the tunnel," said East Peoria Mayor Dave Mingus on the success of the event.
Page 2 of 2 - Associate School Superintendent Scott Estes believes there is a lot to learn from this type of event, and he is hopeful that other schools in the area will take this idea and apply it to their own community.
"I think it's a great opportunity to see that some kids go to college and some take other career paths, and either way there is a path for you. We hope other areas would see the investment they'd be making in their own students. I hope they steal it, and I hope it expands," said Estes.

We decided upon the Luxembourg Parc during a recent stay in Paris for its location and because I prefer the small boutique hotels - the Luxembourg Parc definitely fit the bill. I loved that we were within easy walking distance to the Louvre and to Notre Dame and that the rooms were quite comfortable and elegant. We had chosen the Superior rooms since I had heard about how small European hotel rooms could be. These rooms were quite nice with plenty of room and beautiful furnishings.
The staff was very warm and friendly and also very helpful when we needed to understand how to get to some of our planned destinations and events. In addition, the breakfast was quite generous. On the first morning I had selected the 'extra breakfast' with bacon and eggs and found that with the standard continental breakfast it really was unnecessary. The continental was quite enough.
I will definitely stay here again during my next trip to Paris!
