Reflections of a Kindergarten Mother
I didn't think I ever wanted kids. Now Raffi is my favorite musician and I can't picture my life without a small child on my lap. I warned my husband-to-be that I didn't see motherhood in my future and ended up talking him into a third child. We didn't take Luke's crib down until his third birthday. Patrick unscrewed each screw of the crib slowly, reluctantly, it seemed to me--and collected the little metal pieces in his pocket. It was hitting him that this was our last baby.
Well, it's hitting me now. Luke is starting kindergarten this fall. No little boy sucking his thumb on my lap as the older kids go off to school. No more mornings stirring soup while he lies on the kitchen floor playing with his toy animals. I don't want this stage to be over.
I've been bracing myself for this transition since last spring, when Luke had only a few weeks of nursery school left. One afternoon we took our familiar walk home together from his childcare center on the St. Catherine's college campus. We had watched the huge oaks and maples on the hill change from the green of late summer to the crimson of autumn. There was something generous and brave about the leaves, I thought, holding nothing back before they fell to the ground.
Winter yielded to spring. We crouched to see the first purple crocuses break through the garden along the side of the old vine-covered stone buildings. Luke leapt and bounced toward home, turning fallen branches into moose antlers, or soldier's swords. One afternoon he picked up a long willow branch and swirled it in wild circles. Whoosh, whoosh, the air broke into glittering confetti around his head.
"It's sad that you are finishing nursery school, isn't it?" I said as we continued walking. He had only three weeks left.
"No, it isn't sad at all," he said, balancing on the curb of the driveway that goes down by the pond. "Nursery school is boring. In kindergarten you learn to read." His arms stretched out on each side, a bird about to take off.
When school starts in the fall, I walk with the kids. I say I am concerned about Luke crossing the big streets, but the fact is, I can't bear the idea of all three children trooping out the front door together, leaving me. There has always been a part of me that yearned for more time alone. Now that I have it, I don't know what to do with myself.
The "what next?" question scares me. My days have been structured around caring for these children. My life may collapse on itself now without that sense of purpose. Do I even exist apart from my children? Can I reconnect with the me that is not a mother? Or have I lost her in the commotion of raising a family? I am afraid that I will feel isolated. I will be lonely. I will get depressed. I won't know what to do. I won't know how to find out. I won't be good at anything. I will have nothing to offer. I will be useless, with no sense of purpose, a blob.
Staying home to raise your children has not been a highly valued choice in our society in recent years. In the back of my head lurks the question that reappears when I feel insecure--was this a valid use of my time? I can even feel guilty that I have had the luxury of being able to stay at home and don't have to immediately start earning a paycheck.
It is not only the loss of my children that is hard. It is also the fear that I will not be able to find myself.
The first two weeks of kindergarten are hot. Luke and I have the same routine every day. I meet him at school after lunch and we walk home together. Every few blocks on Cleveland Avenue, we rest in the shade of a tree or at a bus-stop bench and swig from the water bottle I brought. At home Luke shrugs off his red knapsack and changes out of his school uniform into cotton shorts and a T-shirt. We drink glasses of cold water standing by the kitchen sink. Then we go back outside to the hammock under the white oak tree.
We lie there in the shade, my usually uncontainable son limp from a morning of kindergarten. Occasionally a late summer bee buzzes by. I stare up at the green leaves suffused with afternoon sun. The hammock holds us suspended in time and space. Its rope mesh returns us to an ancient comfort. I could stay here forever, I think to myself. The slightest movement of air delights me. So does this closeness with my child. At times, though, Luke's head weighs down on my shoulder, pressing into the bone. His elbow pokes me in the stomach as he changes position. I imagine the pleasures of stretching out alone in the hammock.
When Daniel, our first child, was about two, I realized that I needed time alone on a regular basis. I began a regular writing practice. One winter afternoon when we still lived in Connecticut and all three kids were under six, Grace, my aptly named baby sitter, arrived at our house at four o'clock for her daily hour of duty so I could get out of the house to write. By that time I couldn't stand another minute of small children or the confining walls of my small world with them. I backed the car out of the driveway and drove down the street with a giddy sense of freedom. At the intersection of Cadwell and Woodland, the hills of Talcott Ridge edged the distant horizon in purple. I took a deep breath. Yes, there was a bigger world out there. I got out of the car at Petersons', the local café where I always went to write, and stood still for a minute breathing the clearness of the cold air into my lungs. The world was gold as the sun dropped behind the library. I wondered, "Will I ever be this exquisitely happy again, having time to myself, as I am at this moment--looking forward to a whole hour of being alone, writing?"
Writing was my escape. Moments that had seemed at the time only inconveniences or interruptions often glimmered with grace as I scribbled them down in my notebook. I'd look up at the clock and be surprised that an hour had gone by. I could have always written longer.
What if, now that I do have time to myself, there is no longer the pull toward writing? Maybe it was a convenience whose purpose is finished, like a friend you'd made when your children went to the same nursery school. Now you wave at them from your car but never get together anymore.
What will I do with myself ? I am haunted by self-doubt these days. Shapeless fears float through me as I put the milk and the butter back in the refrigerator, load the breakfast dishes into the dishwasher, and wipe peanut butter and jelly off the kitchen counters. I don't put my feelings into actual words because they sound silly to my rational self. It is embarrassing to be so primitive about it all. How can I admit to the cheerful women who ask if I'm delighted to have more time to myself that in fact I am grief-stricken and gripped with fear about my future?
I carry a laundry basket of dirty clothes down the stairs to the basement, and in my mind's eye I see an old lady sitting in a chair by her apartment window. She is looking out, hoping for a visitor. No one comes. I am afraid to look at the emptiness in her eyes and so I inspect the clothes as I put a dark load into the washer. Daniel has cleaned his room by throwing the clean jeans and sweatshirts I folded yesterday down the clothes chute rather than putting them back into his drawers. I fume at him. When I look up, the old lady has turned her head away, but I see her jaw trembling. I shudder. I taste her fear.
"That's an awfully negative image," an older friend of mine says. "It captures how I feel," I tell her. My youngest child has started kindergarten and I am terrified of being abandoned, of being an isolated, loveless old lady. "That is fear of something far off," I say to myself. What I am really afraid of is putting my foot out to take the next step into my life.
"Mom, I'm scared," Luke calls from the top of the stairs. It is 8:30 at night. Patrick put him to bed an hour ago.
When each of our children first learned to pull themselves up to standing in their crib, they would immediately scream for me to comfort them and help them get down. It fascinated me that, as panicked as they were, as soon as they were flat on their mattresses, all they did was try to get up again. In the middle of the night, I'd wake to their screaming and I would come into their room to find them standing, crazily clutching the end of the crib.
It was the same when they began to walk. There was the irresistible urge to step, sometimes lurch, forward, followed by a moment of panic. Homo erectus, a new being, wobbly but vibrating with a sense of accomplishment at being able to navigate the world from an upright position. Thrill and terror coexist: Now he can run toward mommy, or away from her.
Luke calls out again, "I'm scared."
My dad used to come upstairs and lie down next to me when I was scared. He'd stay until I was able to fall asleep. I set my book down on the sofa where I have been reading and climb the stairs to lie down next to my scared five-year-old.
"It's my turn to hold Cappuccino now," Daniel says, grabbing the leash from Cassie.
It is a gray morning and the kids squabble on the way to school. We have taken Cappy, our chocolate lab, with us. It was my idea, a way to help make the walk to school fun, but it is backfiring.
"No, it's not! You got two blocks and I only got one and a half," Cassie, the middle child, practiced in verbal self-defense, parries.
On the next block, her voice stretches my name into two syllables, "Mo-om, Daniel said 'shut up' to me."
"I did not," he snaps. Back and forth they go, almost shouting as we walk along Cleveland Avenue. Luke scurries behind them, his red backpack swaying right and left as he yells, "Stop fighting!" The windows in the brick apartment buildings we are passing are open. "Quiet, you guys," I call from further back in an ineffectual stage whisper, "you're going to wake people up."
At Hartford Avenue Daniel raises his fist, ready to slug Cassie. I grab his arm. "If I hear one more word from either of you, you will both be in for the afternoon when you get home."
I kiss them good-bye at school. I wonder what am I doing wrong to have such snarly kids. I am relieved to have them gone for a few hours. Yet I felt their loss, as when something you have gotten so used to that you think it is a part of you is suddenly missing.
Cappy and I turn and retrace our way to Ford Parkway and turn left down toward the Mississippi. Past the still-closed eyeglasses shop on the corner, the jewelers, the new shopping center across the street, the Ford plant, the liquor store, the Middle Eastern restaurant. You can get to the river a prettier way by going down one of the side streets, but if you walk around the ravine just before the synagogue you get an expansive view, as though you are standing at the foot of the river. I usually want to fling my arms open wide when I see it, but this morning's gray matches my own heavy mood, and I don't. I walk along, hounded by the questions that are weighing me down these days. "What is the point of my life now? Who am I? What will I do with myself?" Cappy trots beside me. A breeze picks up and leaves rustle in the trees. The breeze ruffles my hair, and in the far reaches of my imagination, hope begins to stir. The sun slowly burns through the morning's gray. The world is a work of art, the sumacs and oaks painted ocher and vermilion, in the palette of fall. I go home and sit down at the computer.
By mid-October I am letting the kids walk to school by themselves, older responsible for younger. They get smaller as they stride briskly down the street, three red backpacks bouncing against three navy-blue uniform sweatshirts. I wonder, "How can a phase of life that was so rich be over so quickly, so unceremoniously?"
There is that fleetingness of things. That delighting and forgetting, and that forgetting to enjoy until the time has passed, vanished. The babies walk, learn to write their own names, know things I don't know. They show me how to use the computer. They look back over their shoulders with a quick good-bye and then are gone into their own lives.
And here I am in mine. A shock of grief rushes through me. I am not ready for this. I have often chafed against the constraints of having small children at home. I have resented the constancy of their needs. Yet now I want to call to them, "Come on back! Don't go. Let's all sit on the sofa and read stories together."
I am like Luke when he started preschool. He clung to me as soon as I turned to leave, and began to sob (I couldn't admit then that there was something reassuring to me in his dependency). Marti, his teacher, would calmly take him from my arms and assure me, "He's always fine right after you go."
He was fine. And I will be fine, too. I just need to leap into someone's arms for a good cry first.
One sunny morning all three of them are fighting. They jockey for position at the kitchen counter, making their lunches. "I'm not done with the peanut butter," Luke screams when Cassie grabs it from him. "Move," Cass shouts at Daniel when he won't budge to let her open the drawer where the brown bags are. He plants his feet firmly. She shoves him out of the way and he shrieks.
Their going may be hard on me, but their staying would be worse.
I clean the house like crazy. I even put the special attachment on the vacuum cleaner and lie on the floor to get inside the coils of the radiators. I attack closets. I put away summer clothes and make piles of cold-weather clothes, seeing who will fit into what, who needs new sweatshirts, snow pants. When Pat and I get back from a trip, I am secretly relieved at how dirty the twenty-year-old baby sitter has let the house get. Every dog-haired dust ball and each new report of fast-food meals is another sign to me that I am still needed, that my job as a homemaker is not redundant. I cling to the concrete satisfactions of cleaning with the tenacity of a toddler clutching her blankie.
While one part of my mind is busy going through drawers, the linen closet, piles of papers, organizing what needs to be kept, and throwing out what is no longer needed, another part sinks deeper and does the same cleaning and reorganizing in my inner world. There is a contemplative rhythm underneath my bending, scrubbing, clearing out, dumping, rearranging, and polishing as I get my house in order.
I feel inadequate and stupid because I don't know what I want "to do with myself." That internist in the lime-green dress at a recent party stared at me when I said it has been a big transition for me with my youngest starting kindergarten. When hers did last year, she said, "It wasn't any different for me. We've had someone come in to take care of the children all along, so nothing in my life really changed."
Should I have followed a career and spared myself the awkwardness of this identity crisis? Everyone else seems to know what they want to do with their lives by my age. Why don't I? These thoughts wander through me miserably.
Luke and I were walking home from school a few weeks into kindergarten. He turned to me just after we passed Cecil's deli, and said, "I feel stupid at school."
We stopped on the sidewalk. His head hung so low that I had to bend down to hear him. "I don't know how to write my letters and all the other kids do," his voice cracked out in a terrible whisper. I picked him up and hugged him . "I know that feeling," I said.
I consult Luke's kindergarten teacher. "Lots of kids feel that way. I wouldn't worry a bit," she says. "Everyone gets there in their own time."
I went to the kitchen store last week to buy a knife sharpener. The man with the thinning gray hair and the small gold ring in his ear helped me.
"Have you seen these pour spouts?" he asked when he saw me browsing.
"I love them because you can keep your oil right on the kitchen counter and just," he held out his arm in a swooping motion, " pour it into your pan whenever you need it."
I buy two, and two light-green glass bottles--how could I resist after talking with someone who understood the beauty of olive oil spreading its clear shine across a black skillet? Homemaking is not a high-status profession, and I appreciate anyone who helps me see what I do as an art form. The man wraps each of the bottles, and my knife sharpener, in tissue paper and puts them in a bag for me.
"Why did you want a knife sharpener?" Patrick asked curiously that evening when I showed him.
"I am tired of dull edges," I say to him emphatically. I am almost yelling.
"I want to be able to cut through things with sharp edges, clean lines."
One late afternoon as I am peeling potatoes for dinner, I hear the geese. I wipe my hands on my apron and hurry out to the back porch. In the sixth grade, Sister Ambrose, an old nun with skin as creviced as oak bark, told us stories. When she was a girl on a farm in Massachusetts, she stood outside in fall and looked up as the geese flew south every year. There were so many of them that the sky turned dark as they passed overhead. Every fall since then, I get a jump of excitement when I hear the geese honking, even though I know it means winter is coming.
I look up now. The sky is a clear, autumnal blue, the top of the maple in my neighbor's yard already ablaze with color. The geese are in formation, necks stretching forward on their journey. Their wings have a gold cast in the late afternoon sun. I stay on the back step looking up until I can no longer hear them. Their flying away to places I can't imagine excites me.
I have been thinking of my children flying away from me. Now I realize that it is time for me to fly, too.
The Thursday evening before we turned the clocks back, Patrick bursts into the house at the end of the day. He comes over to kiss me at the stove where I am sautéing onions to add to my black bean soup.
"I had a great day," he says, taking a bite of the soup. "I revised four research papers on diabetes management and sent them out this afternoon."
I am speechless. I stand there thinking about my day: Just when I'd started to cook, I'd heard the kind of yell you know you have to investigate. I'd turned off the stove, run outside. Luke had gotten whacked on the forehead with an off-season hockey stick. After I'd tended to him, I remembered that it was almost time for dance class and Cassie hadn't done her spelling yet. I chased around the neighborhood rounding her up. While she wrote down her words, Daniel wanted me to hear him sing along with a latest hit. I listened to him while I chopped onions, and then made him do his social studies homework. That morning I had spent a couple of hours doing laundry and cleaning. I had spent one hour writing.
As Patrick speaks to me, I feel--I don't even know quite what--frustrated, inadequate, jealous? I'm not sure, but at that moment, I want to sock him.
This might be a sign that I need more in my life.
I pray out loud as I scrub dried pancake batter off the kitchen counters one morning in November. This talking out loud is one of the freedoms I am beginning to realize I can enjoy after everyone's left for school. "Please help me know what I am meant to do," I pray. "I am lost and floundering. I was doing what I wanted staying home with the kids. What do I do now? Maybe I shouldn't need this, but could you please give me some sort of sign?"
I decide not to sweep the kitchen floor or straighten up the living room. I will write instead. I make myself a pot of tea and spread my books and papers over the kitchen table, where I like to sit when I write freehand, and get started.
How do I figure out what God has in mind for me? I wonder. Elisha waited in his cave for the grand pronouncement from God, the thunder-and-lightning proclamation of God's will. He was not prepared when God appeared in the quiet whisper of a breeze. I am beginning to realize that God works more in my life like a low-budget foreign film than a major Hollywood production, more often appearing in the subtleties of my feelings and experiences than in the great whack on the head or in trumpet fanfare. Where better for me to look for signs of what I am meant to do than in what I love doing, in the quiet urges in me toward what stirs and enchants me or disturbs me? In what engages me and forces me to grow--what I enjoy so much that I don't realize where the time goes when I do it?
Writing is that for me. "But what will I say, what will I write about?" I wonder as I scribble down my thoughts.
"It is an unsecular practice," Toni Morrison says of writing. "We are waiting for the word." I copy those lines down from a book I am reading, and then write my own words: "I will wait. I will write and wait." I have no idea what the outcome will be, almost immediately doubt that I have anything worthwhile to say, and yet know it is the right thing for me to do. I feel some of the same sense of having made a serious commitment as I felt the day I got married.
The next morning I find myself parked in front of the closed garage doors of the auto-emissions inspection station realizing I should have checked their schedule before driving over. I decide to wait the half-hour until they open. I take my notebook out, leaning it uncomfortably on the steering wheel and then, twisting awkwardly, on my lap, to write.
As my pen makes its marks on my paper, four snazzy old ladies from New York show up on the page. They remind me of my grandmother's old friend Aunt Vi--sophisticated, aging, going strong, beautiful. I am in the living room of their elegant New York City apartment, on the Upper East Side, its coffee table cluttered with books, open newspapers and the detritus of interesting lives in action. I have been explaining to them that I believe my presence at home is still valuable for my family.
"But what happens when my children all grow up and don't need me anymore?" I moan. I want to develop my writing, but part of me suspects that to pursue my own agenda means to neglect my role as mother. I wonder how to navigate the confluence of waters where mother and writer meet. How much can I give to writing? How much to motherhood? "I'll be left in the lurch, having given them my availability all these years." I am almost frenetic as I present my dilemma from different angles.
"Okay, doll, okay," they assure me with the confidence of women who have trusted their intuition. There is something worldly and experienced about them that I like, and I like their New York accents, their generous slang.
"It's an occupational hazard, but it don't deny the woith of the job," one of them says in a lowbrow New York accent, which surprises me. "Put on some lipstick and fix yourself a drink," they tell me, all in agreement that I am far too serious and need them to help me lighten up.
A few days later, I tried to conjure them up again to ask their advice. They ignored me pleasantly. But I heard them talking. One of them asked, referring to me, "What did she say?" Another answered, "Oh, don't worry about her. She knows perfectly well what she is doing."
It is December now, and what I am doing is writing more, and cleaning less. I often put lipstick on before I write, my own little ceremony to mark my switching roles from homemaker to writer. "I am a writer," I announce to the house, practicing saying the words as I walk to my Macintosh on the old table with the green legs at the top of the stairs.
One night I dream I am standing on the side of a lake, some feet up above its beautiful green water. "It is not safe to jump into unknown waters," I tell the two healthy young men who stand next to me, encouraging me to jump in. I look into the deep waters, both afraid and attracted by its loveliness.
"Here, we'll show you," they say and I watch as they leap, their bodies arcing gracefully as they disappear into the lake's water.
Around that time, I know that I am ready to take the risk. I send out a manuscript.
I am bearing with the shudders of resistance that a family has when anyone does anything that's new. We have an elaborate chore list posted on the refrigerator. Cassie and Daniel are responsible for three loads of laundry between them, as well as dinner dishes and tidying the living room. Luke probably doesn't have enough with only setting the table and emptying the garbage. Everyone is mad at being expected to share more of the load of housekeeping, and the breakfast dishes often don't get done until afternoon. We are a macrocosm of the baby pulling itself to stand, a microcosm of the world trying to renew itself.
One cold morning this month, I stand on the front steps putting my key into the lock to get back into the house after doing an errand. I see a face reflected in the window of the front door. The contours of the face are clearly outlined--sharp, clean lines. I smile at my reflection and run upstairs to write.
I write about my conflicts, about wanting to be an emotionally available mother and have a life of my own, about the way Luke's backpack bounces as he walks. I write about how I can feel like a failure when the kids fight and Luke has a temper tantrum when I tell him it's time to set the table for dinner. I write about the crows cawing from the bare branches of the trees along the river, and the way garlic smells when you throw it into hot oil.
I write with one ear out for Luke so that when he gets dropped off by a friend after kindergarten I can run downstairs, kick the boots out of the way, and fling open the door to let him in.

I am creating a site with a custom taxonomy, and custom post types. The could be several levels to the taxonomy, with the lowest level containing the custom post types (the products).
Level 1 > Level 2a > products
Level 1 > Level 2b > products
The problem I am having is that I can't hide the products when I am viewing Level 1. For some reason it is displaying the products from Level 2a and 2b as well.
This is the code I am using:
<?php $recent = new WP_Query("post_type=product&customtaxonomy=$slug&posts_per_page=$posts_per_page"); ?>

Many thanks for any tips :-)

"Sam Wilson" & US Agent Clash as Spencer's "Captain America" Saga Escalates
Comic Books
Welcome to Food or Comics?, where every week we talk about what comics we'd buy at our local comic shop based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a splurge item.
Check out Diamond's release list or ComicList, and tell us what you're getting in our comments field.
Chris Arrant
If I had $15, I'd make up for lost time and get the first collection of Mind the Gap (Image, $9.99). Rodin Esquejo is an absolute gem in my opinion, and Jim McCann looks to have crafted a story with some definite suspenseful power. After that I'd get James Stokoe's Godzilla: Half Century War #3 (IDW, $3.99). This has become one of my favorite serials to come out, which for a work-for-hire book is tough. Instead of doing a story in service of the concept, it uses the concept to create a great story – and Stokoe really loves Godzilla and puts a face to those humans who oppose him. Finally, I'd get the free Cyber Force #1 (Image/Top Cow, $0) because, well, it's free. I have an unabashed love for the original Cyber Force, and previous reboots haven't really gelled the way I wanted to. I'm excited to see what Matt Hawkins brings to this, and I'm glad Silvestri is involved even if only on covers and designs.
If I had $30, I'd first stop for Glory #29 (Image, $3.99). I tend to read this series in built-up bursts, and I'm overdue to catch up. I like the monstrous rage Ross Campbell brings to this, and seeing Joe Keatinge capitalize on the artist he has to create a broader story is thrilling. After that I'd get a Marvel three-pack in Hawkeye #3 (Marvel, $2.99), Daredevil #19 (Marvel, $2.99) and AvX Consequences #2 (Marvel, $3.99). I'd buy David Aja illustrating a phone book – seeing him getting a great story is icing on the cake.
If I could splurge, I'd lash onto Charles Burns' The Hive (Pantheon, $21.95). I'm reluctantly late to the game when it comes to Charles Burns, but X'ed Out clued me into his awesome cartooning power. After devouring his previous work, I'm excited to read The Hive as it first comes out. I don't quite know what to expect, but after finally coming around to Burn's skill I'm up for pretty much anything. Continue Reading »

If I had $15, I'd start with a couple of Marvel firsts, even though one of them isn't technically a first issue: Uncanny Avengers #1 ($3.99) and Red She-Hulk #58 ($2.99). This is the first week of Marvel NOW, and they're starting with books by creative teams I'm excited about. Next I'd get Stumptown V2 #2 ($3.99) and wind things up with the Halloween Eve one-shot. I actually supported the Kickstarter for the latter, so my copy is probably already on the way to my mailbox, but hypothetically let's assume that it wasn't. It's by Brandon Montclare and Amy Reeder, two creators whose work I've enjoyed in the past. So if it wasn't coming to me in the mail, it would come home in a paper bag from the comic shop.
If I had $30, I'd add an outgoing Marvel title (Marvel THEN?), Fantastic Four #611, which features the end of Hickman's run before he moves on to Avengers and Matt Fraction takes over the first family of Marveldom. Next I'd grab Green Lantern Corps #13 ($2.99) as I like the direction the GL books have been headed in lately, and Conan #9 ($3.50), the second half of Brian Wood's collaboration with Vasilis Lolos. Finally, I'd grab Point of Impact #1 ($2.99), the new crime book by Jay Faerber and Koray Kuranel.
This is a splurge in price only; if I had $50, then Chris Ware's Building Stories would definitely have been at the top of my buy list this week. It's a big box of little comics, as Chris put it, and as luck would have it I really do have $50 in gift certificates that I got for my birthday to buy it with. Thanks Mom and Dad!

I agree with most that the new format takes far too long to read, but if everyone had read the whole note at the top of the page, they would know that the format of the site is still being changed. They ARE going to change it back to more than one autocorrect per page. In fact, it will be 12 autocorrects per page, even better than the original 5.

The Centers for Disease Control predicts 1 in 3 Americans will have diabetes by the year 2050.
The study attributes the increase to America's obesity problem.
Health officials recommend getting screened if you have high blood pressure and cholesterol, or if there's a family history of diabetes.
"This is not surprising that we are seeing an increase. We see more obesity, people are not as active and jobs are more than they used to be," said Dr. Linda Gilmore, Diabetes Coordinator with Flowers Hospital.
According to the CDC, diabetes is the second costliest disease at $174 billion annually.
Flowers Hospital will host a Diabetes lunch and learn program on November 10th.
For more information contact the hospital at (334) 793-5000.

Kai Greene has been working closely with MuscleMeds researches as a test subject on some experimental formulas prior to making them available to the public. When evaluating Kai's protein intake, MuscleMeds researchers noticed Kai was making far better muscle gains when eating beef than when using whey or casein supplements. At one point, Kai was eating 6 to 9lbs of beef a day and making great gains, but the high consumption of beef was causing stomach distress and also elevating Kai's fat intake and cholesterol beyond where the MuscleMeds research team wanted it. This prompted the development of CARNIVOR, all beef protein isolate, which Kai used to pack on muscle and capture the Arnold Classic Crown.
Beef Protein Isolate is More Concentrated Than Steak and More Concentrated Than Whey:
Using extraction, clarification, hydrolysis and isolation technologies CARNIVOR's Bioengineered Beef Protein Isolate delivers the muscle building power of beef with higher amino acid levels than many other protein sources used in supplements including: whey, soy, milk and egg. CARNIVOR Beef Protein Isolate is even 350% more concentrated in anabolic muscle building aminos than a Prime sirloin steak! And it has no fat or cholesterol!
Anabolic Nitrogen Retention Technology (ANRT) Recyles Aminos and Minimizes Ammonia:
While protein is critical for muscle growth, paradoxically, consuming more protein can sometimes actually decrease performance and muscle growth if nitrogenous waste products like ammonia are not recycled back into anabolic tissue building pathways or otherwise neutralized. ANRT is specially designed to promote the recycling of aminos back toward the muscle-building pathway to address the build-up of debilitating toxic scavengers such as ammonia. ANRT nitrogen retention factors contained in Carnivor include: GKG (Glutamine-alpha-ketoglutarate), OKG (Ornithine-alpha-ketoglutarate), AKG (alpha-ketoglutarate) and KIC (alpha-ketoisocaproate).
Carnivor was formulated to support the recycling of aminos back into the muscle building pathways for optimal nitrogen retention and promotion of muscle growth and performance.
More Creatine Content than Steak:
One of the benefits of eating beef is its naturally high creatine content. Beef is one of the best natural sources of creatine. To support the cell volumizing effects of creatine, each serving of CARNIVOR has more creatine than steak to saturate your muscles for explosive strength and growth.
Added BCAA for Increased Anabolic and Anti-Catabolic Effects:
To further promote the muscle building action of CARNIVOR, additional Branch Chain Amino Acids are added to the purified Beef Protein Isolate. The enhanced BCAA levels promote a positive nitrogen balance, support protein synthesis, improve workout performance and address muscle fatigue.
BEEF-UP with CARNIVOR!

Strawberry is AWFUL, almost undrinkable.
Chocolate Pretzel is okay but has a bit of a weird flavour.
Chocolate is really good and I prefer it to most whey chocolate flavours that I've tried. Would recommend this, but do yourself a favour and by chocolate.
10-08-2015 22:21:09
I find this product mixes easily in water and has a great flavouring in the chocolate mint version that works well to mask the beef protein taste.
This product is also great to provide you with extra creatine and I feel works well as an off season bulking mass gain style product.
10/10 a nice tasting easy mixing protein that is great for some one who cannot process lactose and requires an replacement protein powder for regular whey and casein concentrates.
15-09-2014 19:10:11
09-09-2014 12:22:15
flavor wise its pretty good and being beef protein no set backs.
The pump you get from this protein is surprising i saw immediate results my arms became larger and gained muscle size.
You get a great number of servings for a good price
Will recommend to all the people who want to start off somewhere
Musclemed is best at what they do

While small in numbers, the Belgian Army played a vital role in World War I (1939-1945) that is often overlooked. Germany's invasion of neutral Belgium, which led Britain to declare war in August 1914, should have been swift and fierce yet the unexpected heroic defense, against great odds, of Belgian fortresses, frustrated the German Schlieffen Plan for a thrust to Paris and a lightning victory. The plucky Belgian resistance proved successful in buying time for French and British troops to mobilize and report to the front, where the Belgians would then go on to fight, stubbornly defending the northern end of the Allied trench line for the rest of the war. Discover the story of this determined Army, from their organization and commanders, to their uniforms and equipment. The only main combatant army of World War I not previously covered by Osprey, this volume will be an important addition to any enthusiast's collection, accompanied by detailed artwork and archive photographs.
About the Author
Pawly was born in Antwerp, Belgium, where he still lives and works. He is a respected member of several international societies for Napoleonic studies, and his forte is research in the field of military portraiture.
Ronald Pawly is a respected member of several international societies for Napoleonic studies, and an expert on 19th century military portraiture. He is the author of the monumental "The Red Lancers: Anatomy of a Napoleonic Regiment" (Crowood Press, 1998), and of a study of Napoleonic veterans' tombs in Belgium. He has previously written for Osprey Men-at-Arms 355: "Wellington's Belgian Allies 1815"; MAA 371: "Wellington's Dutch Allies 1815"; MAA 371: "Napoleon's Red Lancers"; MAA 378: " Napoleon's Guards of Honour"; and Elite 115: "Napoleon's Imperial Headquarters (1): Organization & Personnel." The author lives in Belgium.
Praise For…
"This book fully covers the build up of the army, those heroic days and weeks in 1914 when the Belgians held back the German offense and their continuing defense of the northern part of the front until the end of the war. As with all Osprey Men-at-Arms books, it takes a look at the uniforms and equipment that were used by these men during the war. Assisted by a good choice of period photographs and the superb illustrations of Patrice Courcelle, you get a look at how these men lived and fought, defending what was, during most of the war, basically a swamp land dotted with small defensible islands... This all makes yet another great addition to the superb library of Osprey titles and one you can purchase with confidence." -Scott Van Aken, Modeling Madness - www.modelingmadness.com (July 2009)
"The first half of the book is a well-constructed concise overview of the Belgian Army's part in the campaigns of the western front. It covers their courageous fight against the German invasion and how this brought time for British and French forces to arrive in the region. It then goes onto their part in holding the line from 1915 to 1917 until the final grand offensives in 1918...Overall this a great introduction to the Belgian Army of World War One and it will prove a handy resource to Wargamers and Modellers alike." - Flames of War (December 2009)

No one's satisfied with the state's funding of public education, but who wants to bet anyone will be more satisfied once the dispute winds its way through court?
Hundreds of school districts — including Lubbock ISD — are banding together to take the state to court over funding, saying it's inequitable and inefficient.
While we've no argument against the characterization of the system, we've mixed emotions about all these school districts ponying up thousands of dollars — up to $34,000 in the case of LISD — to fuel a team of lawyers with a deep bench to convince a judge of something all sides already agree to.
It's a broken approach to funding public education. As the result of the Legislature's attempts to turn a sow's ear into a silk purse, we've got a funding system where the per student allocation varies from district to district by as much as $7,000. That can't possibly be fair.
But why do we have such a discrepancy?
It could be the result of a prior court case in which the state's funding approach was found faulty because a static per student stipend from the state didn't take into account the scarcity of local funding in poor school districts.
The court held the state violated the Texas Constitution by failing to fund schools adequately and fairly. The Legislature fixed the problem in typical governmental fashion — an extremely complicated formula. It seems sufficiently complex to render a result both adequate and fair — but one district's fair is another's faulty.
The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts put together data on public education funding and performance in the Financial Allocation Study for Texas, which weighs three years' worth of information. According to FAST, LISD's averaged $4,659 per student from the state while Amarillo ISD netted $4,624. Austin ISD got $5,756 while Corpus Christi was sent $4,689. Frenship ISD took in $4,856.
If one looks at total expenditures and divides by students, the picture changes. LISD spent about $9,012 per student while Amarillo spent about $8,380. Frenship spent about $9,325 and Austin spent about $10,514. LISD taxes its property at a $1.24 rate, while Amarillo levies a $1.17 rate and Frenship sets a $1.50 rate.
In a sense, district tax rates might not be relevant because it's the state that's being sued over how much trickles down to the local districts, but the discrepancy in districts' ability to raise local revenue is what started this mess.
So we're now going to use a multimillion-dollar war chest funded by taxpayer dollars to get a judge to tell the state to make funding more equitable and efficient. No doubt the new formula will meet a disapproving judge in the future.
Yes, the system needs to be fixed, but it would have made more fiscal sense for the state's school districts to marshal their ample understanding of school finance to devise a equitable and efficient formula they could all agree on. Then the Legislature could adopt that agreed-to formula, apply the fiscal reality of how much the state can afford to spend and divvy up the dollars.
Perhaps that's what the judge will order ... but doesn't resolve the question of how it made sense for hundreds of school districts to spend tens of thousands of dollars each to get to a point any one of them could have done on its own.

NEW YORK (October 1, 2012)--Barbra Streisand is putting out an album of unreleased material called "Release Me," pulled from several sessions over her career.
Streisand said she used to shelve a song if she sang even one word wrong, and in those days producers would do two or three takes.
Streisand said she kept the shelved songs in a "black box." but the Internet opened her eyes.
She says some of those songs were taken from the Sony vault and ended up on YouTube, and she realized they were pretty good.
"Release Me" is due out on Oct. 9.

Grammy Award winner, Rhymefest, will release his highly anticipated album El Che on May 18, 2010 via dN|Be Entertainment. Distributed by EMI, in conjunction with Rosehip Records.
The full length LP features production from beatsmiths Scram Jones, S1, BKS, and Terry Hunter. The 16-track opus also boasts guest appearances from Little Brother, Saigon, Glen Lewis, and fellow Chicago emcee Twone Gabz.
The follow up to his critically acclaimed Blue Collar LP, Rhymefest's El Che promises to deliver raw lyrics over epic production. Hip Hop lovers should expect to hear an unfiltered Rhymefest, liberated from the corporate suits and oppressive ideas of the prevailing record industry. As dN|Be Entertainment's flagship artist, the Chicago emcee now has full creative control over his projects. When questioned about his new partnership with dN|Be Entertainment, Rhymefest mentioned "I wanted to be somewhere that not only appreciates artistry, lyricism, and originality, but also serves a greater purpose in Hip Hop and the Black community."
In anticipation of El Che's release, dN|Be Entertainment has launched the interactive website ElCheTheMovement.com. Fans can connect with Rhymefest through the website's blog, videos, streaming music, and social networking links to Facebook and Twitter. Exclusive content concerning the El Che LP will be uploaded daily.
Rhymefest's tour dates (including Austin's SXSW) can also be found there. Finally, Rhymefest will be releasing his last pre-album mixtape titled DANGEROUS: 5-18 on ElCheTheMovement.com this spring.

Monday night at approximately 7:00PM, Officers with the Enterprise Police Department responded to an armed robbery call at Creative Hair Masters located at 2950 Rucker Boulevard. The owner of the shop stated that two black males had entered the business and requested a haircut. One of the subjects produced a semi-automatic handgun and demanded money and jewelry from the owner. The owner of the shop was able to retrieve his own firearm while the suspect was temporarily distracted and fired at least one round at the assailant. The suspect was struck by a bullet in his left thigh and then he and the other subject fled the shop.
Officers have identified the suspect that produced the firearm as Caleb Allen Pogue, 22, of 800 Oppert Road in Dothan, Alabama. He is described as a black male, 6' 0" tall and weighing approximately 230 lbs.
The second suspect is described as a black male with "dreadlock" type hair in his early twenties, 6' 0" to 6' 1" tall, and weighing approximately 190 to 200 lbs.
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of either of these subjects is asked to contact the Enterprise Police Department at (334) 347-2222.

Roar doesn't see much use on Manectric because of its bad defenses. You can use Switcheroo alongside a Choice item, but you have to breed for it

I'm pretty sure Aerodactyl is OU? iirc. \:
I'm agreeing with saying remove Roar from Manectric. Roar could be replaced by something like Charge Beam or Overheat. With Manectrics very shallow special movepool; those are your main contenders. You could try Thunder for more power, but the Accuracy is something to think about. You could try Substitute, to block statuses and stat lowering moves. Get a Sub on the switch and sweep away. Its nature should be Timid. Since it needs all the speed it can get.
Take Down isn't that good. \; Shoddy accuracy, not the strongest of moves and recoil just isn't worth it. Camerupt could run;
Camerupt @Focus Sash
EVs: 252 Hp / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
Ability: Solid Rock
~ Stealth Rock
~ Earthquake
~ Explosion
~ Yawn/Will-O-Wisp
Obviously set-up with SR. Then if your opponent is physical you could use Will-o-Wisp to burn them. Earthquake is for a nice STAB and coming off a decent attack stat will hurt. Yawn can be used for Pseudo-PHazing. Making them switch and take SR damage. It could also help if your opponent resists Explosion and Earthquake. Then once you're ready just Explode and take out whatever comes in. The Focus Sash lets you take a hit and survive, so at least you get SR up. The Ev's are made to maximize your overall defenses and maximize your attack.
Lopunny @Flame Orb / Choice Scarf
EVs: 252 Hp / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
Ability: Klutz
~ Switcheroo
~ Encore
~ Heal Bell / Thunder Wave
~ Baton Pass / Return
Lopunny can run many sets, but most of them include Switcheroo to screw over your opponents. You could either nail physical sweepers with Flame Orb or take down walls with a Choice Scarf. Encore lets you lock Pokemon into set-up moves, which can be useful for setting up yourself. Thunder Wave can cripple your opponents speed and with Lopunny's decent speed it could spread paralysis like wildfire. Heal Bell could rid your team of nasty un-wanted status effects. Baton Pass can get you out of a tight situation but using Baton Pass makes you taunt bait, Return is a nice reliable STAB that will hurt.
Since Poliwrath's speed is mediocre 128 Speed Ev's won't do much. Since you're running a SubPunch set, maximizing your Ev's are a must. Run 252 Hp / 252 Atk / 4 Spe. The former two can make your performances even better. Instead of Ice Punch you could run Bulk Up, to make your Attack and Defense even higher. Since Poliwrath's attack and defense are mediocre at best. With raised defenses your opponents will have a hard time braking your Sub which means you're free to fire off your incredibly strong Focus Punches.

I'm don't know regex really well, so can someone give me example how to fix this regex http://rubular.com/r/UdzYMJc9iE:
/\b([stack over flow]+)+\b/
not to match whitespaces and to match only exact words (stack matches ac as word, I want to match only stack), tia.
I want when we have 'lorem etiam nam' to match only these exact 3 words from the regex, without spaces.
I tried using \s, \S, /x, but there was no result..

Analysis Tool for Realtime Measurements Using Perceptual Criteria
New evaluation techniques for quality assessment of audio channels have been developed using perceptual noise criteria. These techniques are not only useful for the analysis of perceptual coding schemes, but can also be applied to almost any audio signal processing. This paper describes a realtime measurement system based on the Noise-to-mask ratio (NMR) algorithm. Several analog and digital applications of the system are presented to demonstrate the performance.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Mar 01st, 2003
Running Time: 90
Director: Bob Sima
Company: Hustler Video
Cast: Erica (I), Rosanna, Danielle (I), Vanessa (I), Beverly (I), Others
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
This low-on-gonzo, high-on-sex tape should do well with fans of the performers and the idea of swooping down on horny, willing beauties.
This tape, featuring coeds from throughout the country, suffers from a single major flaw - whether for education or political purposes, each segment's hostess endlessly whines about the 20,000 college girls who do porn work in order to finance their educations and proposes that the Constitution somehow guarantee them financial aid in order to avoid such a fate.
Apparently, doing the same kind of work their male companions and girls considered less pretty must endure is simply beneath them. Whatever. Once the moralizing is over, it's down to business.
In the first scene, Cal State's pretty Rosanna has a little-girl voice and a boyfriend in the porn industry, whom she shares with a blonde introduced briefly as Erica. Vanessa is a law student who's pretty up front about doing this for the cash. Serena is a vapid, skinny student with burgundy-colored hair and a big tattoo on her upper arm, who takes on two good-looking dudes and repeatedly spits their cum out of her mouth.
Beverly is a mildly alternative-looking girl who, with the aid of her plump and pretty roommate, struggles to remain controlled during her scene, so no one will think she's having too much fun, cuz it's all about the cash, of course. Danielle brings up the rear with a gorgeous g/g scene. Honest about her experience in the sex industry, she's a breath of fresh air as well as a pleasure to watch.

Blogs Liberty and Power the "one book" memeOct 5, 2006 1:54 pm
the "one book" meme
1. One Book That Changed My Life: It's hard to choose just one, because there have been so many. I'll go with The Limits of State Action by Wilhelm von Humboldt, the book that introduced me to aesthetic individualism.
2. One Book I've Read More Than Once: Robert Heinlein's The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress, with its Professor Bernardo de la Paz, who was based on Robert LeFevre, founder of the Freedom School. "May I ask this? Under what circumstances is it moral for a group to do that which is not moral for a member of that group to do alone?" And there's TANSTAAFL as well, of course.
3. One Book I Would Want on a Desert Island: Escaping from a Desert Island for Dummies, maybe?
4. One Book that Made Me Laugh: Besides everything by Douglas Adams? Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett.
5. One Book that Made Me Cry: Cherokee Editor: The Writings of Elias Boudinot. It's the Kobayashi Maru, nineteenth-century style.
6. One Book that I Wish Had Been Written: Whatever Emily Brontë might have written next if she hadn't died so young.
7. One Book I Wish Had Not Been Written: I tend to be pro-book, as it were, so this one is rather hard for me. If any of Harold Bloom's more recent books disappeared, though, I'd still sleep soundly (okay, and probably point and laugh, too).
8. One Book I'm Currently Reading: A 19th-century collection of short stories by Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué translated from the German.
9. One Book I've Been Meaning to Read: Red Prophet by Orson Scott Card for an alternate history perspective on Tecumseh.
