on June 8 in Kurdistan region of Iraq. His
friends say he traveled to the city of Sulaimaniyah
where he was
abducted by Iranian Intelligence,www.ekurd.net
reported on Israel Army Radio, and reported by
Israel national news.
In June, Diyari Mohammed, a correspondent
for the Israel-Kurd magazine in Sulaimaniyah, said "A woman who spoke Persian answered Afand's phone on
June 13, but it has been switched off since then" adding
"Afand's colleagues have raised
the possibility he was kidnapped by Iranian
Media watchdog Reporters Without Borders expressed
concern about the missing journalist.
Hamid Bodaghi, head of media relations for the
Iranian Consulate in Sulaimaniyah, told Rudaw on
July 5, they
had no information about Afand.
Israel-Kurd magazine published interviews with
Israeli officials and personalities. It was licensed
by the Kurdistan Journalists Syndicate and based in
Erbil. Afand, originally from Iranian Kurdistan,
faced constant opposition from the Iranian
consulates in both Erbil and Sulaimaniyah.

Mad Men Costume Designer Might Launch Her Own Clothing Line
She's being very vague about it.
Everyone from Thom Browne and Michael Kors to non-fashiony regular dudes we know is obsessed with the clothes on Mad Men. Turns out costume designer Janie Bryant might have her own line in the works. "I'm working on some things right now," she says. "I hate to be so mysterious but I can't really say! It would have my name attached to it though." Can Gossip Girl get in on this action, too?

Pebble Peregrinating -- Back to Reality
All week, I will be out at Pebble Beach, playing golf, soaking in the sun, and enjoying the incredible function that is Lexus' Champions for Charity (#lexusc4c). These are my ramblings throughout the week.
Nothing is really as depressing as the day you have to leave from something incredibly special. I'm sure people feel this way on Honeymoons, when the day you leave is really the first day of the rest of your life and the excitement of everything that just went down is finally over. For me, the wheels coming up at the Monterey Airport was, for the second straight year, a somber moment, mostly because it's tough to be somewhere so special, with so many great people, and then leave it.
That said, I couldn't have had a better time. The people at Lexus and Octagon make Champions for Charity a must-visit, and throughout the next few days, I will have different posts highlighting those things. But before I get back to recounting the week, I must say that it's pretty remarkable that an event could raise over $30 million for charity as Champions did this year and be so much fun for everyone involved. Pebble Beach is a special place, and everyone that comes to the event can't wait to get back. Seeing their faces, and reactions, and talking to all the people involved really made me appreciate this year even more than last, because I feel I really could see the fun they were having while helping an incredible cause.
One of the funniest moments of the week came on Thursday night, when I was talking to a couple of great guys from Chicago. They still had two more days of golf left, but the only thing they could think about in between laughs and jokes about their score was what the heck they had to do to get back next year. Today begins that journey for them, and hopefully, for you. Trust me when I say this; finding a way to the event in 2012 will be one of the smartest things you can do for yourself, and for others. It should be on your Bucket List, and hopefully, maybe, I'll be there to have a glass of wine with you and just enjoy life in a fairytale land.
More to come on Monday.

Like your perspective on all things golf but please, for the love, use WAY fewer commas in your writing.

Shane, how can one get invited/join this awesome event?
Also, saw someone won a Lexus for a hole-in-one this year, did that happen last year as well?
...hope I didn't use too many commas

Ummm, I'd love to play in this, but unless I randomly inherit a trust fund nobody in my family even suspects exist, I think I'm S.O.L.

Anonymous #1, sorry,,,,
Anonymous #2, I will write up the info on how to join and put it up this week, but basically, you have to bid at charity events around the nation and win them. Again, I'll fire out better info later this week. In the meantime, check out this link.

And Seak, you're WRONG. A group of guys I really liked bought a $100 raffle ticket and won a trip to Pebble, all expenses paid. So there IS A WAY!!
Also, are you okay with the commas?!
- December 11, 2011 at 9:12 PM
Ok, lottery is cool. The info I saw online was all about bidding.
I didn't really notice any issues with commas. It read fine to me :)

It states that I am the lucky winner of a $100,000.00. In the letter it told me that I need to contact Sean Peter or Michelle Robinson for authorization and activation of the check. It also gave me a claim number in the letter and told me that I need it to activate the check.
So I called to activate the check and spoke with MS Robinson, she told me to cash the check and and get a money order, and that in few days in the mail would come instructions as to where to send the money to pay taxes.
That struck me as odd, so I called a friend who had a friend help me with this scam so I just tore the check up.

Posted on 02/09/2006 9:20:29 AM PST by Heartofsong83
Canadian Anglicans Becoming Extinct
By AFA Journal February 7, 2006
(AgapePress) - A new, independent report on the state of the Anglican Church of Canada shows a staggering decline in membership over the last 40 years.
Between 1961 and 2001 the Anglican Church of Canada, the Canadian branch of the worldwide Anglican community, lost 53 percent of its members, from 1.36 million to 642,000. However, the report also ominously stated that the decline is accelerating. While membership dropped 13 percent between 1981 and 1991, it fell 20 percent between 1991 and 2001.
According to The Church of England Newspaper, the report was prepared by Keith McKerracher, a retired marketing expert. It was presented to the House of Bishops.
McKerracher said in subsequent interviews: "My point to the bishops was, 'Hey listen, guys, we're declining much faster than any other church. We're losing 12,836 Anglicans a year. That's 2 percent a year. If you draw a line on the graph, there'll only be one person left in the [Canadian] Anglican church by 2061.'"
The Anglican Church of Canada, like its sister branch in the U.S., the Episcopal Church USA, has been steadily trending liberal over the last four decades. That is probably the reason for the Canadian church's decline, according to Ted Byfield.
Byfield is a long-time observer of Canadian culture. He published a weekly news magazine in Canada for 30 years and now serves as general editor of The Christians, a 12-volume history of Christianity.
In a column for WorldNetDaily, Byfield spoke of the Anglican Church of Canada's "consistent departure from traditional Christian teaching, which has been going on throughout the whole 40-year period of decline.
"It began with the acceptance of serial marriage, progressed to the ordination of women, then to the funding of terrorist groups in Africa, and finally to the acceptance of homosexual practice. The church's latest foray is its tacit approval of homosexual marriage, which has seen it virtually disowned by the Anglican churches of Africa and Asia."
McKerracher did not think the Anglican leadership in Canada would respond to the new report with any significant changes.
"The church is in real crisis. They can't carry on like it's business as usual. They talk things to death," he said. "And my impression is that the bishops are not going to go around telling priests to shape up."
Almost as if to confirm McKerracher's impression, Canadian Archbishop Andrew Hutchison told The Church of England Newspaper that although the report was a "wake-up call," he hoped a new emphasis on social justice and ecumenical cooperation would stem the decline.
There is a good reason why I recently left that church.
RE: How the Anglican Church of Canada is rapidly losing members.
"Almost as if to confirm McKerracher's impression, Canadian Archbishop Andrew Hutchison told The Church of England Newspaper that although the report was a "wake-up call," he hoped a new emphasis on social justice and ecumenical cooperation would stem the decline."
I thought you all might be interested in this.
ROBINSON: "Does this collar make me look fat?...BTW, did you say something?"
They are called worship services, Bishop, not social justice and ecumenical cooperation services. People go to church to worship God, not to participate in the latest liberation theology activities. What a maroon.
Is there an alternative conservative anglican-communion church springing up in Canada akin to how the American Anglican churches are springing up to replace the former Episcopal churches?
Where are they going? Back into the Catholic fold, from where they departed, maybe?
My catholic church is packed with young people and babies. The catholic schools here in Kentucky are packed.
Increasingly that is the same in Canada, in many communities at least. Not sure about the largest cities.
That's where I went...
This is also the reason the wife and I left the ELCA last year for the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. Both organizations are headed by liberal/socialists who's agenda is socially oriented, instead of a committment to the religious health of their members.
I am going to assume you are in northern Kentucky and have a tradition of schools that are associated with the church. This is a good draw for the church though many in Cincinnati would like to see the church get out of the school business. The local parish with a school does well in demographics. The adjoining parishes without a school are all filled with gray and few children in attendance.
Funny, my Catholic church is full of families with lots of little kids.

"Is there an alternative conservative anglican-communion church springing up in Canada akin to how the American Anglican churches are springing up to replace the former Episcopal churches?"
Yes see the link.
The Anglican/Roman shift goes both ways. I am an Anglican, but I really can't see myself joining the Roman church. I am not willing to accept that the Pope is infallible, and I am not interested in the "Cult" of Mary.
Heh, Amen to that :)
Hmm.... Are there any in Southern California?
Depends on where you are. My church is full of people of all ages and growing.

Maybe you need to look into outreach for your parish?
After all . . . they haven't been too accurate or reliable about much else, have they?
If you're really interested, I can refer you to an excellent book that was written for Anglicans considering a trans-Tiber migration.
Now I'm gonna have to go wash my eyes out with Lysol.
Sounds like you don't have any Spanish language masses. There are plenty of young folks in the big Catholic churches around here. And there is the brand new Catholic high school in town - although those are primarily Anglos.
That and the fact that the Church has done little to make itself appealing to MEN of any age.
So many Episcopalians believe - in a quite uncritical manner - the old anti-Catholic, Know-Nothing rants about the Vatican, the Magisterium, and the Pope. The fact that the Catholic Church dares to have infallible teachings is seen by so many otherwise reasonable Episcopalians as reason enough to reject it outright with no further investigation into the matter. All I can say in response to that is that ECUSA now has a "magisterium" of it's own. Its called the General Convention, and you better do as this magisterium tells you to or the penalties will be quite high. Just ask any orthodox priest who has been inhibited by one of these revisionist bishops.
And this magisterium is issuing infallible teachings on such matters as Holy Matrimony in ways that no Pope or curial official would ever even begin to consider. Why? Because the Pope does not have the authority to alter Holy Matrimony. Holy Matrimony was ...established by God in creation Our Lord Jesus Christ adorned this manner of life by his presence and first miracle at a wedding in Cana of Galilee. It signifies to us the mystery of the union between Christ and his Church, and Holy Scripture commends it to be honored among all people." (1979 BCP - THE CELEBRATION AND BLESSING OF A MARRIAGE)
And what are the purposes of Holy Matrimony? Again, the Book of Common Prayer states it well..."The union of husband and wife in heart, body, and mind is intended by God for their mutual joy; for the help and comfort given one another in prosperity and adversity; and, when it is God's will, for the procreation of children, and their nurture in the knowledge and love of the Lord."
If all this sounds familiar it is b/c this has been, and still is, the teaching with regard to marriage for 99% of the world Christians - Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox, and any and all variants thereof. Only the enlightened magisterium of ECUSA feels they have some sort of divine right to change it. This assumes an authority that no Pope has ever assumed for himself. Ever.
That is accelerating even more since 2001 - despite the fact that overall church attendance in Canada has spiked upward since then.
There is a good reason why I recently left that church.
Why did you specifically choose to leave the Anglican Church? Leaving a church is a huge life decision, just wondering how you came about it?
>The same thing is going to happen to American Catholic >Churches. However it will not be due to conservative-liberal >underpinnings. It will be due to the fact that the church has >done little to engage children and young adults. I look at my >church on Sunday and it is filled with gray hair.
I agree. I'm still a Catholic (for now) and I am in this group. In my case it is as if the church acknowledges that they have a problem connecting with youth but they refuse to modernize (not theologically, just presentation). They are stuck in the 1950's collectivist (dare I say socialist) model of Catholicism where the priest talks down to the people and assumes they can preach and lead without question from an uneducated parish. Maybe in the past when most people didn't even finish high school they could get away without having to deal with rigourous introspection from the people but that isn't the case nowadays.
Society now is more individualistic, is is much less collectivist and socialist. The Catholic Church has the exact same problems that the Democrats have.
As a former ECUSA person who crossed the tiber in 1997,I can testify that I don't belong to now nor have I ever been a member of a cult of Mary.
The most interesting thing about the catholic church with respect to the baptists is that Mary does appear, from time to time to catholics - not to protestants.
Exhibit A
Ever wonder where your hard-earned pennies go after the collection plate is whisked away? Despite severe cash flow problems in the Anglican Church, there's no shortage of money for truck rentals for the Anglican float in the Annual Gay Pride day.
Exhibit B
To pay for heating and upkeep, some historic Anglican parishes are now forced to clear the pews out on weekends, and rent their churches out to Kundalini spirit channelling sessions.
They just cannot get it, can they?
There is a tendency to treat infallible statements as legislation when they are proclamations. Furthermore, in a modern legislature, laws are made-up devises. In the old days, they were generally codification of custom or restatement of old law. Before there were legislatures, it was the function of the king to proclain what had been recognized as law "since time immemorable." That is what the pope does.
"Channeling spirit" meetings in a church building - Satan must love it.
Exactly what I was about to say.
this is good -- the Anglican rite laity and clergy will help the Catholic Church rejuvenate (and yet move back to orthodoxy)
Yeah, folk masses really worked, didn't they?
Talk about coming home -- we just wish we'd made the move sooner. I've said several times that we were miserable in ECUSA, mourning beside a dead body, when all the while the Church was alive and joyous and waiting for us just around the corner . . .
I totally disagree. It is the parents that are the first teachers of the faith to their children as the Rite of Baptism so rightly declares. Most parents don't care about educating their children in the faith and pawn it off to someone else.
Glory to God!

LOS ANGELES -- On a weekend when Josh Beckett told reporters that Los Angeles Dodgers teammate Clayton Kershaw may be the best pitcher ever and the Dodgers were playing so well that folks around here were booking World Series reservations in October the same way they would a table at Nobu, the Boston Red Sox offered a giant reality check.
Not so fast, Angelenos. Just because Carl Crawford, for one, wanted to beat the Red Sox "bad" doesn't mean the Sox sign off on the script. The latest Hollywood success story wasn't about to knock the Soggy Bottom Boys off course. The bearded ones came, saw and conquered, swatting the Dodgers 8-1 Sunday night in the rubber game of their three-game set to become the first team since mid-June to take a series from Ice Cube's favorite baseball team (Mr. Cube was in the stands Sunday). And they did it without David Ortiz, who sat out the two weekend games against Dodgers left-handers.
The Red Sox hit three home runs, including a ninth-inning, 437-foot monster mash by Mike Napoli that was as impressive as anything Cuban sensation Yasiel Puig has hit in these parts, to back the complete-game, three-hitter recorded by Jake Peavy.
Peavy used to make a habit of beating the Dodgers when he was with the San Diego Padres and did the same Sunday night, the only run coming on a home run by former Padres teammate Adrian Gonzalez.
"This bunch is a veteran bunch," Peavy said. "We know what we have here. I knew the day I walked into this clubhouse what we have here. "Every guy, man for man, knows we're capable of playing with anyone on any given day. We've just got to be prepared, then lay it on the line."
The Dodgers had not lost any of their previous 18 series (14-0-4) before dropping the last two games here to the Red Sox. Boston now returns home a game ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays in the American League East, the same lead it held when it commenced a stretch of 19 games that included 16 on the road and a three-game pitstop against the New York Yankees last weekend at home.
This was being billed as a possible World Series preview, a premise that got no traction in the Red Sox's clubhouse.
"I think one thing our team does a good job of is not getting bogged down with or overwhelmed by the big picture," reliever Craig Breslow said, "but just taking games day to day. Going on the West Coast trip, especially coming here, we all know what the Dodgers have done since June.
"But it seems like those just aren't the kinds of things that get to guys here. It doesn't change the objective, doesn't change the game plan to go out there and execute what we set out to do. When you do, you find yourself in position to win games. That's what we did in these six games."
Napoli, in his second game back after taking a cortisone shot in his left foot to treat plantar fasciitis, also doubled home the first run off left-hander Chris Capuano in the first. Jacoby Ellsbury beat out an infield hit, stole his 47th base and scored on Dustin Pedroia's sacrifice fly to make it 2-0 in the third. Rookie Xander Bogaerts, making his second big league start, doubled home the third run, before Jarrod Saltalamacchia broke it open with a two-run homer in the sixth and Shane Victorino homered in the seventh.
The Sox also played peerless defense, Ellsbury making a sliding catch in center, Victorino cutting off a ball for extra bases in the gap then running down Juan Uribe's deep drive in the same inning, and Dustin Pedroia making a glove flip on Nick Punto's bid for a bunt hit.
"They have a great ballclub," Saltalamacchia said, "but we believe we have a great ballclub too."
The schedule now breaks in the Sox's favor, at least on paper. They return home to face the Baltimore Orioles Tuesday night in the first game of a nine-game homestand. Of the next 25 games on their schedule, 18 are at home, where the Sox are 40-23, before they finish the season with two games in Colorado and three in Baltimore.
But it's hard to imagine a more satisfying trip than the last leg of this stretch, and not just because San Francisco and Los Angeles offer the traveler a greater variety of attractions than, say, Houston, Kansas City and Toronto, which comprised the first leg. In winning four of six from the Dodgers and Giants, Red Sox starting pitchers allowed six earned runs in six games.
And what does it say to beat the Dodgers, who had been 18-3 in August until the Sox pulled into town?
"That we're a good club," manager John Farrell said. "I don't think I will ever say we can't do anything as a team, the way it's responded to challenges along the way. But our starters set the tone the entire trip."
Gonzalez's home run came one year to the day after he was traded from Boston along with Crawford, Beckett and Punto. Crawford was instrumental in Friday night's Dodgers win, singling twice and stealing two bases, and Gonzalez had a two-run double in Saturday's loss in addition to Sunday's home run, which came in the fourth with the Sox ahead 3-0. But it was not enough to keep the Sox from frustrating Crawford's avowed intention to extract revenge.
With Clay Buchholz taking his first tangible step toward returning with a rehab start Sunday, albeit a shaky one (38 pitches to record two outs), the Sox starting pitching appears primed to make a strong finishing kick, with Peavy, Lackey, Jon Lester and Felix Doubront all apparently in top form.
"Our starting pitching has kind of been the lifeblood of this team," Breslow said. "Wherever they lead, we follow. This road trip been a snapshot. We're in every game when these guys pitch the way they're capable of pitching, and it's been a different guy every night.
"We feel, 1 through 5, that every guy gives us a chance to win, especially down the stretch."

Charleston, W.Va. (AP) -- Nancy Atkins, who oversaw West Virginia's Medicaid program for six years, is returning to her old post.
State Health Secretary Patsy Hardy said Monday she's hired Atkins to be commissioner for the bureau for medical services.
The bureau administers Medicaid, which in West Virginia has a combined state and federal budget of more than $3 billion.
Atkins replaces Marsha Morris, who left the post to become deputy general counsel for the Department of Health and Human Resources.
Atkins, who left the bureau to work in the private sector, starts work immediately.

Hi there,
I noticed that Matt have uploaded the 'miles' 1.01 version of WordPress. So I uploaded and ran the upgrade.php file and was presented with these errors:
SQL/DB Error:
[Duplicate entry '55-0-default_post_status' for key 1]
INSERT INTO wp_options (option_id, option_name, option_type, option_value, option_description, option_admin_level, option_width) VALUES(55,'default_post_status', 5, 'publish', 'The default state of each new post', 8, 20)
Does this mean that the nightly build I downloaded on the 23rd is the same as the 'mile' release?
The reason I ask is that I can enter admin etc without running the upgrade.php.

Wait time is almost always in excess of one hour. Tiny, uncomfortable waiting room with no air conditioning. Office staff lags behind with referrals and especially with prescription refills. Nothing seems computerized and lots of time is wasted giving a long explanation of conditions and medications; this interview is often performed by girls who seem untrained and unprofessional. On one occasion, I presented the girl with a list of meds, one of which is dosed in mcg (micrograms) instead of mg (milligrams), and she promptly "corrected" it by crossing it out and writing in "mg". When I corrected her, she just gave me a blank look like I was crazy. Between the waiting time and the absurdly long hand-written interview (on a two-inch thick stack of paper records), a good portion of my day has been wasted. AND THEN, whatever prescription they are supposedly calling in has to be followed for three days by ME because the pharmacy has not heard from them. The doctor herself is nice, but the referral doctors are so much better all around.
she is a BAD doctor and should NEVER have allowed to come here and practice!!!!!!!!I got a BLADDER CANCER BECAUSE OF HER NEGLIGENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert
ATLANTA -- Should have added "windy" to our meaningless pregame weather report from the Georgia Dome. It was amusing Sunday morning to see police barriers, put in place to close certain areas around the stadium, sliding across the intersection. Someone needs to add a few more pounds of sand.
Winds are gusting at 25 miles per hour in Atlanta, which would have made a significant impact on this game were there not a Teflon roof on this stadium.
Another observation that might be interesting only to me: There is a Bobby Brown Parkway here in Atlanta. Turned onto it by accident after leaving the hotel. I hope I'm not being historically ignorant by assuming it's a reference to the 1980's entertainer and 2000's reality show star. If I'm wrong, let me know.
We'll be back shortly with more serious matters at hand. We're waiting to find out if Chicago defensive tackle Tommie Harris will be active after a one-game suspension, and you also might be interested in the availability of Atlanta receiver Roddy White (concussion).

At least tell us how it was fix instead of "nevermind"
I am needing help with this and unfortunatley, I haven't figured it out yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I struggled for a while trying to come up with a way to do this using some complicated php but easiest way to do it is to use some CSS:
In the loop place <?php the_content(); ?> inside a div like so:

<?php the_content(); ?>

Then in your CSS:

BERLIN Police say Jason C. Fewer, 41, of Barre, was arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and theft of service Wednesday.
Around 4:30 p.m., police responded to the Wayside Restaurant on the Barre-Montpelier Road for a complaint of a male walking out without paying his bill.
About 30 minutes later, police received a complaint of a male fitting Fewers description lying in the road and jumping out in front of an ambulance that was responding to an emergency.
Police said they quickly located Fewer and took him into custody. While in police custody, Fewer tried to run from the holding cell and processing room at the Berlin Police Department, according to police.

He's been a vital cog in the Arsenal side for the past three seasons, but there were more than one or two signs last season that Mikel Arteta's time at Arsenal was coming to an end. He's the wrong side of 30, and doesn't possess the type of physicality in the centre that can Arsenal fans have longed for since the departure of Patrick Vieira nine years ago.
Arsene Wenger has been heavily linked with an interest in Morgan Schneiderlin, Lars Bender, and Sami Khedira since the end of the season, all of whom may be considered an upgrade on the Spaniard. Each of the three have age on their side, as well as technical qualities which could fit into the Arsenal way of playing. Arteta still has much to give, but Arsenal need to start looking beyond him now.

The singer said she is so covered in bruises from her training for the hit ballroom show that she is worried what people might think if they see her in a bikini on the beach.
She said: "Me and Denise [van Outen] had our clothes fitting earlier on and our bodies are so bruised we are, like, 'OK, this should be interesting if we go on holiday'."
Meanwhile, Denise's Strictly partner James Jordan reckons their 'bulldog' spirit is putting the public off after they ended up in the bottom two last week.
The pair have impressed the judges with their polished performances, but a lack of viewer support dragged her into the dance-off two weeks running.
Last week she scored 38 and 39 for her two dances, putting her in second place on the leaderboard, but she still ended up dancing for her place in the final against Lisa Riley.
Jordan said: "No one likes us. We looked in the mirror the other day and we went, 'Everyone else looks so sweet and we look like bulldogs'."
But van Outen said she is happy being in that position because it is "less pressure" on the pair.

Arum: Juanma Could Be Matched With Dib or Vazquez
By Jhonny Gonzalez
Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum is confident former two division world champion Juan Manuel Lopez (31-2, 28KOs) has a lot left in the gas tank. Last Saturday night in San Juan, WBO featherweight champion Orlando Salido stopped Lopez in the tenth round of action. It was the second TKO loss for Lopez in his last three fights. Arum could see Lopez matched up with likes of IBF champion Billy Dib (34-1, 21KOs) or a big all-Puerto Rico battle with Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. (21-2-1, 18KOs).
Arum would like Lopez to have two to three fights to build himself up and then place him in a big fight.
"From what I saw in the fight, it is clear that Lopez is not finished as a boxer. We are very confident that Lopez will return to the position that he once occupied. He is still very popular in Puerto Rico and an attraction. One possibility is that Lopez would challenge Billy Dibb. I would have to communicate with their representatives for availability, but it's definitely something to be considered. [Juanma vs. Vazquez] would be a big fight. As a promoter, I can't dismiss the idea because it would be an event where people would go crazy [in Puerto Rico]," Arum told Carlos Gonzalez.

Skip to comments.Parents have to teach their kids at home, imagine that?
Posted on 11/13/2004 4:04:54 PM PST by Marinefamilyx3
To The Editor: I have a daughter in first grade in Henderson County schools. She gets off the bus at 4 p.m., dinner around 5:30, and bath/bed by 8 p.m.
That in itself is a busy enough night. But she has spelling words (writing 10 words five times each), reading a book (first grade, 100 words), nursery rhyme, memorization goals.
Where does family time, playtime, or just sit and stare time go? And then there are families with multiple children in school. And you can forget it if they participate in Scouts, dance, sports. There's just no time!
We spend at least 1.5 to two hours a night on homework. My child is 6 years old! With barely enough patience to sit through an episode of Pokemon.
I can't blame the teachers. Sorry, but I can't. The schools are overloaded, the classrooms at capacity. And then you throw in the language barriers, and various learning disabilities, and the teachers aren't able to do their jobs.
So we're having to do it at home. There has got to be something that can be done within our schools to get this problem under control.
Homeschooling is your answer.
You can limit your children to one or two outside activities each; if the homework burden is too high you should talk to the teachers; but by all means you should make it clear to the children that homework is their responsibility , not youre, that you will only answer questions about what the teacher is asking them to do if the instructions are unclear. You already did first grade. Now it's time for your daughter to.
Of course, but you still have to pay propert taxes. You're screwed either way.
Vouchers and free school choice. Smash the liberal education monopoly.
Homeschooling - full-time. Make vouchers applicable to that as well.
This sounds like too much homework for a first grader.
The solution is called homeschooling. The work get done by noon at that age. then their is plenty of time for scouts, little league and play.
I had the same problem with my oldest. I felt like the learning the he was getting was from me instead of the classroom. So I decided to pull him home and teach him myself during the day instead of trying to fit it in during the evenig hours. One on one they learn quickly.
How many Americans can afford to homeschool? Most Americans require two incomes to maintain a middle class lifestyle. Homeschooling applies to a very small and very affluent segment of the population. Homeschool thusly may be the answer for some families - it is not for the rest.
What time does she get on in the morning, and what hours is she spending actually in school?
And then you throw in the language barriers, and various learning disabilities, and the teachers aren't able to do their jobs.
Still using the "mainstreaming" experiment, too, I notice; no wonder nothing gets done in the classroom.
If you have to teach them at home anyway, you may as well homeschool, and be done with it. To bad you can't apply vouchers to homeschooling.
Or, can you? Anybody know?
I'll pay the taxes to "educate the masses", but I will not let them have my children. There is more to homeschooling than just educating.
I can accomplish more in 4 hours of home educating than what a child is taught at a public school in an entire day, not even mentioning the homework routine.
Plus, they are not learning behaviors that are immoral, liberal, or unchristian. There's no way that makes me "screwed"!
Of course it's all Bush's fault. If he hadn't demanded 'No Chile Lef Behin' legislation that demanded kids actually learn stuff in schools, they would have ample time for tag, hide-n-seek, and arson.
Taxpayers need to stand up and demand politicians stop wasting their hard-earned tax dollars on incompetent teachers and corrupt unions.
I don't work 12-hour days so my money can be taken from me to fund the NEA's graft machine.
As others have said, HOMESCHOOLING. I'm sure there are others in your area who homeschool. They can help you get started. It should take an average ability first grader about an hour and half to get through the writing portion of the schooling each day. The rest ought to be able to be fitted around the teacher's schedule. This leaves plenty of play, family, and the important dream-and-imagine times.
Go for it. You'll never regret it.
I live in Flat Rock and see total successes in some neighborhood children who attend public (read government)schools.
No young child needs 1.5 hours of schoolwork per night in the early grades.
There is a lapse in intelligence here somewhere.
I do know that North Carolina ranks near the bottom in public education. But if parents are willing, ready, and able...they can beat the system and give their children the start necessary to get them into higher education and onto the road of a happy life.
I have to admit, though, that government education in NC is among the worst.
We have around a dozen families in our area, and only TWO are above middle class, and MOST are below middle class.
Raising your children properly has NOTHING to do with how much money one brings in.
Most homeschool families I know get along just fine on one parent's income. Sure, they live in a tiny house and drive used cars, and they don't go on vacation to Hawaii every year, but they make it...
You choose where to sacrifice. Which do kids need more; the newest Nikes, or a decent education?
Yeah, how much time is this idiot parent wasting by letting them watch "Pokemon?"
I live in Flat Rock and see total successes in some neighborhood children who attend public (read government)schools.
No young child needs 1.5 hours of schoolwork per night in the early grades.

That was cruel. When I had my children in school, we would spend up to 3 hours a night on my oldest, who was in 3rd grade!
THE REASON: The teacher spent so much time during the day dealing with disobedient children the rest of the class either could not hold their attention or the teacher just couldn't get to it.
Educating the masses..yet another a great benefit of our government!
I respectfully disagree, Destro. I'm an administrator for a private school for homeschoolers. Families of all income brackets homeschool and do it quite successfully with very little $ output.
The decision to home educate one's children includes a certain amount of $ sacrifice, simplicity - as is required - in living, willingness to do what is best for our children as we see fit, and the committment to accomplish the goal. And no homework.
We're in our 9th year of home education and don't regret it for a second. Scores are high and love of learning is great.
We live in Northern California can be rather pricey - but we live simply - not a grand lifestyle that we may have had if I had continued working outside the home. Many (perhaps most) times it just doesn't compute $-wise to have mom working outside the home. After the higher tax bracket is considered, and daycare, car expense, clothing expense, lunches out, dinners out or take-out, not much $ is left. There was a study done on just this subject...wish I could recall where I read it. I'd like to have it linked.
What book have you been reading? It is not expensive to home school and you don't have to be a real teacher...lots of people across are doing it and they are not rich!!!!!
I'm not sure I understand the problem here. Not enough family time together because of school? (Try homeschool!) "Having to do it at home" is a problem to get under control? Which is it?
We homeschool. That saves an hour of traveling, for starters. Then we get an extra seven hours a day of family time. And that's just the stuff you can quantify. :)
To re-use some of the words from the title, 'imagine that', a child who is taught by their mom or dad and also learns to think on their own without some de-facto government teaching employee to map out their day for them. This is revolutionary! See, you really don't need a village, just your parents.
I read this letter in our local newspaper and thought it would make an interesting topic of discussion. Since the current education secretary is stepping down, I'm hoping that the ridiculous "No Child Gets Ahead" will be dropped for some kind of sane national education policy.
No vouchers and NO tax cut for education like the Public and Private teachers get to take during tax season.
All at our own expense, but well worth it.
One thing to take into consideration regarding the "no child left behind".
Can you recall in your lifetime ANYTHING being tried to better the schools?
I am in my mid 30's and have never before seen anything done. This is a first step, and it was a big one. I think Bush's education reform efforts were a good yet subtle, because if he'd jumped in with both feet, he would have never been able to get it going without NEA revolting and calling for a strike.
If you can't afford to buy a curriculum this is the way to go.
"Most Americans require two incomes to maintain a middle class lifestyle."
Bull. It all depends on what you call a middle class lifestyle. Most people are able to put food on the table, a roof over their head, clothes on their back, a car in the garage, etc., with one income. Our family did it while my wife homeschooled our daughter. We didn't have the biggest house or the newest car, but it all depends on what is important to you. Keeping up with the Joneses is a waste of time and energy.
It may be time for the people who gave birth to these children to realize that they bear full responsibility for these children. What a concept, eh? A lot of the married women who are going out to work are working to pay the cost of working. Perhaps if you thought about it and prayed about it, you could live on one income and devote your time to your child? If you are home all day you can cut a lot of cosr by doing your own cooking and cleaning instead of buying packaged food and hiring a maid. And you will be more relaxed and your child will be learning.
Instead of whining about how the Village needs to raise your child, look in the mirror and remember who gave birth to her and govern yourself accordingly.
How do you do that without putting government in control of homeschooling? You might as well just give people money instead of vouchers and be done with it.
(better yet, cut taxes)
Homeschool. Sounds like that is already happening.
Most of them. I have a "hick" cousin in Wyoming that homeschooled his two daughters. His children are well above average and doing very well in college. The two blonde girls seem like total airheads, and in public school they would have been, but due to their parents' homeschooling, they are actually literate. Neither of their parents went to college or make more than $35K/year.
Since it is your answer, more power to you. I have the highest regard for those who choose homeschooling - but it is not for everyone.
By the time our daughter was 3 I knew I wasn't cut out for it, and it wouldn't be in her best interest. We enrolled her in a private home-school preschool program and put our house on the market to move to an area with a better school district.
She's in the 1st grade and half way through the 2nd grade reading curricula. the only reason she was not skipped directly to 2nd grade from kindergarten is her maturity level with other children. She is completely at ease with adults, but has some difficulties with children her own age.
Our decision to not home school has nothing to do with needing a 2 income family to keep up with the joneses - I haven't worked outside the home since I learned I was pregnant, we live in a small house and drive used vehicles - our decision was made based upon what we as parents felt best for our child.
"They send you a free computer, printer, books, educational materials, the works. They pay your internet fee. No charge for anything at all."
THEY= The Government
CHARGE= Taxes
GOVERNMENT + TAXES= The right to tell you how to educate your child.
If your want a good education, be leery of these state's easy-ins to homeschoolers. Also, since Charters are not considered homeschool, but public education, you will not be able to join the Home School Legal Defense Association. This team can help greatly when a social worker or truancy officer shows up at your door.
"why don't you just give up?"
Yes, she should give up...give up public schools.
When the government takes children away for 7 hours a day and then tells the parents the children need 1-2 hours more each night, when is it family time? If 1-2 hours a night, why not 10?
Give me a child for just 3 hours a day and they will graduate any engineering school in the country by age 18. In public schools children can barely read by then.
ping for later
I think she meant that her daughter doesn't even have the patience to sit through Pokemon much less do 1 1/2 hours of homework a night.
I would be very suspicious of a school that gave a first grader 1 1/2 hours of homework a night. Something is radically wrong somewhere.
I agree. And I am glad you pointed that out.
Homeschooling is not for everyone.
Just like me and cooking. It will never happen!!
Why do you think your laissez faire attitude towards helping the child do work is appropriate?
Secondly, there IS such a thing as too much homework.
In SOME public schools this may be true - but not all.
Painting all public schools with such a broad brush is the same thing as saying any parent who doesn't homeschool shouldn't be a parent.
There are good public schools and there are also parents not equipped to homeschool. I should know because my daughter is in the former because I am the latter.
I have terrific respect, with a few reservations, for those who wish to homeschool. I don't want to. Call me selfish or what you will, but my kids go to an outstanding school (one of the teachers was nominated Oklahoma Teacher of the Year this last month.)
They both have perfect attendance and are straight A students. They participate in the Science Fair (Blue ribbons every time) with projects that THEY thought up and we helped them with. They are happy, popular kids who get to be around people of many different backgrounds. Additionally, we get to debunk the junk they hear at times.
They have gone to Private schools (Montessori) in the past and I will take PS anytime.
Everyone needs to do what is right for their kids. PS is fine for mine.
Isn't it a shame that the only solution is homeschooling?
Wouldn't it be more appropriate for homework to be scaled back?
LOL!!!!!!!! there are folks that think I live to cook.
My daughter excels in reading and math in part because she helps me in the kitchen - reading recipes and measuring ingredients. Granted it adds time to recipes, but that doesn't matter.
I may not be homeschool caliber - but that doesn't mean I don't teach.
We shouldn't have a national education policy at all. It's unconstitutional.
My son is in third grade, and I've been shocked at the amount of homework he's had the last two years (less this year, surprisingly). I remember that when I went through school fourth grade was the year we all dreaded because we knew the fourth graders had homework. First through third had no homework.
But maybe that's why I'm dumb enough to vote for Bush ;-}
Say what you will, government school in NC are among the worst.
I believe there are three things basic to a good elementary education.
1.A teacher fully comptent in her art....If teaching math...she/he should know it backwards and forwards.
2. A proven curriculum, tried and true, and not some new experiment from the NEA like new math and phonetic spelling.
3. dicipline in the classroom.
I am told that in the schools here in Western NC, item 3. is assured and one teacher friend from an exceptional public school system in the N.E and now subbing here said she had never seen such polite children as here in the mountains.
The other two issues seem hopeless....
Look to the over 100 year stranglehold of democrats in Raleigh state government for the answer.
I've tried the cooking in kitchen for learning. It didn't work too well for me or my children. We made a BIG mess, and I confused myself!! Why do we need teaspoons anyways?? LOL. Once again, it reaffirmed the message that mommy does not cook!
We use tape measures endlessly, though. Always measuring this, that, or the other. And my girls can come to good estimates of how much paint we need to paint a room.
Your cooking talents are always welcomed here!!

We review herein the evidence that estrogen is protective against the development of cardiovascular disease in women. To our knowledge, no studies in women have looked at endogenous estrogen levels as predictors of cardiovascular disease. Studies of surrogate measures of endogenous estrogen such as parity, age at menarche, and age at menopause have provided inconsistent results. Current use of oral contraceptives increases risk in older women who smoke cigarettes, but most studies of past use show no increased risk. Most, but not all, studies of hormone replacement therapy in postmenopausal women show around a 50% reduction in risk of a coronary event in women using unopposed oral estrogen. These important observations need to be confirmed in a double-blind, randomized clinical trial, since the protection is biologically plausible and the magnitude of the benefit would be quite large if selection factors can be excluded.

Hello all! I'm new to the boards and have tried to search out some help in previous posts to no avail. My DD is 3 months old. We've struggled with colic and reflux and were releived when about 2 weeks ago she seemed to get much better. She started sleeping for longer stretches at night and went back to sleep much quicker after feedings. I was finally getting some much needed rest! But last week she started squirming and kicking herself awake. I put her down already asleep and about half hour later she wakes herself up kicking. So we start the cycle over. I rock her to sleep and put her back down only to have the same result. I try to hold her a little overnight just so she can get some sleep, but I don't want to fall asleep with her in my arms. We swaddle (and honestly I don't know if I could do it any tighter), but somehow she still fights out of it sometimes. I'm worried BC once or twice she's worked the edge of her sleep sac up over her face. She's also wiggled over and squished her face into the padded side of her co-sleeper. She's always been an awful sleeper and any naps I can get her to take are usually in my arms. She gets so overtired from fighting to stay awake! Could these new sleep problems be due to teething? Her doctor said she has already started teething. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Right now I'm averaging about 2 hours of sleep a night and I'm afraid she's not getting much more!!

I should also mention she is still on meds for reflux. Not sure if maybe her dosage should be increased. I don't know if the squirming is related.
Posted 04/02/2013
I see you posted this in "11". I'm wondering how everything turned out for you & your LO? I'm dealing with the same exact thing right now. How long did this last for you & what were some of the things you did for her that worked?

It's the story that never ends, now Regretsy weighs in on the Urban Outrage. There's lots of previous heart-within-a-state/country examples out there, like the James Avery Texas Necklace depicted above. When the Truche design copied by Urban Outfitters story tweeted around so much that it became a trending topic, Helen Killer felt a twinge of something wrong.
But there was something about this story that just wasn't gelling for me. I tried to write it up several times yesterday, egged on by a persistent stream of email and tweets from outraged readers, begging for the Regretsy Thugs to put the smackdown on Urban Outfitters. I just couldn't pull the trigger.
She then shows us just how many designers on Etsy have little countries and states with hearts in them. By golly, there's loads.
That's pretty damning. But what part of the design is proprietary? The shape of a state or country isn't really something anyone can lay claim to. So you'd have to conclude that it's the addition of the heart that makes it her design.
And that's where this starts getting complicated.
Urban Outfitters have been in hot water for design theft before, so that's not new. But then neither does the design of a heart within a state seem to be. I found one here with the heart in Texas which seems a logical extension from The star in Texas. If you look around Etsy, you'll find plenty more.
Two thoughts, perhaps contradictory:
1. This underlines the notion that advertisers should go back to coming up with their own damned ideas--as new and as fresh as possible.
2. Fashion designers have been known to troll flea markets and art fairs for "hidden inspirations," which they then weave into their creations. At what point does that cross the line from legitimate inspiration seeking to badland material?

The 30-year-old claimed bronze at the European Championships, which also acted as the fourth World Cup leg, last week and made an impressive jump of two places to win in Koenigssee.
Rudman topped the timesheets in both runs in Germany – holding a 0.15 second advantage over world champion Marion Thees after her first outing of 53.26.
And she extended that too an impressive half a second and after a second run of 52.89 for 1:46.15 minutes overall with Thees holding on for silver ahead of Canadian Mellisa Hollingsworth.
Thees clocked 1:46.65 overall and Hollingsworth 1:47.19 while Rudman's fellow Brit Elizabeth Yarnold, making her World Cup debut, was 14th overall in 1:49.20.
With five World Cup legs down and three to go Rudman, who has finished as the overall runner-up for three years running, sits third in the overall rankings behind leader Thees and then Hollingsworth.

TO THE EDITOR | In reference to your June 22nd article titled "Women's agenda derailed over abortion", I would beg to differ. In my opinion, an unborn baby's agenda is derailed by abortion.
How can anyone, who strongly believes that it is acceptable to perform partial birth abortions, sleep at night without nightmares about how these horrible procedures are done to innocent babies? Shame, shame, on "New York, the abortion capital of the world" and on Governor Cuomo.

With four conference teams left to play, the SEC is 3-1 so far on the bowl year. New Year's Eve saw two mild upsets add to the conference win total. Vanderbilt kicked a late field goal to top Boston College in the Music City Bowl and LSU dominated Georgia Tech in the Chik-Fil-A Bowl.
New Year's Day kicked off with South Carolina losing big to Iowa in the Outback Bowl, and it looked for some time like Georgia would drop their Capital One Bowl contest with Michigan State, but Matthew Stafford and the Dawgs rallied to beat the Spartans, and gave the conference their 3rd bowl win of the season.
The biggest games for the SEC are yet to come, January 2nd brings a Cotton Bowl battle between Ole Miss and Texas Tech, and a Sugar Bowl matchup between SEC West champ Alabama and unbeaten Utah. Kentucky will face East Carolina in the Liberty Bowl early next week, before Florida closes the bowl season against Oklahoma in the BCS title game.
