How good is good enough?
So, how what quality does your work have to be in order for you to consider it, "good." I am pretty rigorous on myself, and it doesn't always serve me well. I can get bogged down in the tiniest details, to the point that I have at least one WIP that's been stalled out for over 15 years (a very nineties boxy top that would actually look great right now, must pull it out). So, how is the Marilyn Monroe day look coming along (and yes, I totally see Michelle Williams wearing this as she channels Marilyn putting on a show. I love a good narrative for my dresses.) I thought about going all Oona on this dress, and adding some sort of color and contrast, but that skill is a gift, and one I don't have. I did think about using some sort of bold orange, but where, how, and in what quantity?? These questions torment me.

It's almost there--just lower the underbust a smidge, take in that torso section on either side of the front panel (it's simply too loose right now), and shorten the straps in the back by less than an inch. This is going to be beautiful.

I agree with Kat's summation, including the fact that it will look fab!.

Watercooler Talk
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - The hairstyle is short on the top and long in the back, and in Green Bay the mullet has it's very own street signs - at least when the signs haven't been stolen. Mullet Place may not be named for the kind of hair design that became popular a few decades ago, but fans apparently like to grab the signs anyway because they disappear several times a year.
"We've gone through a lot of Mullet Place signs," said Chris Pirlot of the city Public Works Department. "My only guess is that people are still in love with the '70s and '80s when the mullet haircut was prominent. I don't know."
At times, every sign on the two-block street has been gone, frustrating some residents.

IOWA CITY, Iowa - Through two games, Jake Rudock appears the calm, cool and collected type Iowa hoped it was getting when it recruited him out of South Florida. They're valuable traits for the pressure-packed quarterback position.
Rudock's first two college starts occurred in the friendly confines of Kinnick Stadium. He made mistakes but they weren't a result of being rattled.
Saturday brings along a new challenge. Rudock leads the Hawkeyes into Jack Trice Stadium to play rival Iowa State (5 p.m., Fox Sports 1).
"I'd imagine it will be like my first year here (2011)," Rudock said. "They're going to be crazy. The fans are really good for them over there. It will be a lot of fun."
Rudock traveled to Ames as a true freshman two years ago. It was not fun for the Hawkeyes, who fell, 44-41, in triple overtime with quarterback James Vandenberg making his first, and only, road start in the rivalry.
"This is the first time (Rudock will) be on the road, first time our team's been on the road, so it's going to be a new experience," said Iowa Coach Kirk Ferentz, who is 2-5 at Iowa State. "This is not an easy environment by any means to walk into. So it will be another degree of difficulty from the challenge standpoint."
Jake Christensen was the last Iowa signal caller to make his first career road start against the Cyclones. The Hawkeyes fell, 15-13, in that Sept. 15, 2007 contest.
Ricky Stanzi succeeded in his lone start at Trice. Iowa rolled to a 35-3 win in '09. Nathan Chandler was the other Hawkeye quarterback to win in Ames during the Ferentz Era, a 40-21 triumph in '03.
"It's going to be hostile going in there," Ferentz said. "It always is. It's a noisy, loud environment. You know, they do a good job of pressing and pushing the envelope with noise and all that kind of stuff right up to the snap. So it makes it tougher on offense. It's just something you have to do."
Iowa will pump noise into practice this week in hopes of preparing Rudock and his teammates for Saturday's environment. The coach and the quarterback agree that it's impossible to simulate the situation, however.
"We can't fully recreate it, but we do a good job trying," Rudock said.
INJURY REPORT: Iowa played without starting cornerback Jordan Lomax (hamstring) last week and his status for Saturday appears up in the air.
"We'll probably know more by Thursday," Ferentz said. "He's scheduled to practice some (Tuesday); not the entire practice, but scheduled to go some. (He) kind of leveled off last week, which we were hoping to see improvement, and there really wasn't any until like Thursday.
"So it was kind of late in the week that week. But we expect him to practice partial (Tuesday) and the hopefully the whole thing tomorrow unless he goes backwards."
Reserve cornerback Maurice Fleming (leg) is hoping to see his first action of the season at ISU.
"I thought he was close (for Missouri State))," Ferentz said. "He dressed last week, but he never got to full speed, so I'm hoping so."
Last week, the coach said running back Michael Malloy would be out at least another few weeks while "working his way through a medical situation." Tuesday, Ferentz was asked if the sophomore from Sioux City "was still around."
"Yeah, we'll keep you updated there," Ferentz said.
RECRUITING REPERCUSSION: Ferentz was asked if winning this game helps with in-state recruiting.
"I know this, there is nothing about winning that hurts that I've found so far," the coach said. "When you win, it's good. So be it recruiting, how you feel, all that stuff, it's just a good thing. Then losing tends to go the other way."
Ferentz said he couldn't cite an example of a prospect choosing a school based on the outcome of this game but he was sure that it had happened.
With the 5 p.m. kickoff for ISU, Ferentz said his staff will step out of their comfort zone and scout high school games this Friday night.
"Yeah, we'll be out several places only because we're not going to be with the team Friday night," the coach said. "We'll shift our meetings to Saturday. Otherwise I'm not comfortable with and I've been places here in the '80s where we used to do a lot of recruiting on Friday nights even when the team was together, but I've never been comfortable with the coaches not being around the players if we're having an organized team activity."

With a little help from their friends, Bella Donna and the Donner Party celebrated the releases of their EPs last Friday with a four-hour show at Extreme Wheels on Hertel Avenue.
For those who do not know what EP stands for, Extended Play is a CD typically about six songs long and done by bands that are relatively new.
The show consisted of seven bands. Besides the headliners, performing were Come Honor, Currents, Sheltered by Skies, Don't Be a Hero and the Red October.
The evening was full of surprises for the crowd of approximately 350. Right before the show, the Currents' singer quit, so the band went on with a fill-in vocalist. Then Don't Be A Hero unexpectedly cut their set short.
Following them was the Red October, one of Buffalo's most popular bands of its genre.
With the band's lead singer dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow from "Pirates of the Caribbean," the band definitely had the most energy of the show to this point.
Playing a mix of old and new songs, much to the pleasure of the crowd, the band set the bar very high for the two bands releasing their EPs.
The Donner Party played with a lot of energy, including numerous guitar solos and fast drum beats. During its set, some tracks of electronic beats and recordings overshadowed the music on the short parts of tracks.
And when it covered Journey's "Separate Ways," it played an exact cover of the song, which is not typically the band's style.
Finally it was Bella Donna's turn to take the stage. The band came on with a good amount of energy, too, however, the crowd did not respond as well.
Maybe it was the fact that the band came out with its heaviest song and failed to keep the pace by playing mostly new songs that the crowd did not know. Or maybe its performance seemed laid back in comparison to the previous two bands.
Whatever the reason, fans should give the new CD a listen before writing this band off.
As for the Donner Party's CD, if you are into heavy music, check this one out. You'll be glad you did.
Also definitely check out the rest of the bands that performed at this show, and watch out for the Red October, who many are predicting to be the next Buffalo band to be signed.

Sunshine eyes back taxes plan
Group appeals home values in bid for lower interest
May 10, 2013
WARREN — Sunshine of Warren Trumbull Inc. is still working to establish a plan to repay a projected $188,600 worth of back property taxes, Anthony Iannucci J....
Direct, Florida has REDUCED my property taxes EVERY year since 2008. EVERY year as the valuation is dropped so are the taxes, now pay attention and read this post over and over so you can understand that OHIO is a state that IS NOT OPERATING ABOVE BOARD.

Property taxes are smoke and mirrors, esp in this area.
Bear, takes h e l l of a lot longer than couple months behind on taxes/ mortgages for property to go to auction. It's a process threw litigation, and as stated way backlogged, has been for several years.
More foreclosures would result in more empty houses, don't exactly see a Wave of People moving to Warren or Surrounding areas, no jobs.

Ridding Warren of low income housing is delusional, always been here always will be due to factors that are beyond residents control.
Besides local city tax misused, like to know amount of fed tax wasted. Also like to know contractors used in renovation & demolition of properties.
Matter of time..more info will slowly rise to surface.

directcurrent. I think you can find many states that lower,or raise taxes yearly. Most are putting caps on so there isn't such big swings.

Sunshine has been shown (confirmed in fact by it's own audit) to be unable to survive without MORE money from the city of Warren, so yes they can in essence "shut them down". The city gave Sunshine a 75k loan last year so Iannucci's "contractor" paycheck would clear and he still did NOT pay the taxes on the land contracts. So how will they survive this year without more subsidy? The "consequence" of shutting down Sunshine– IF the City does it responsibly and with the Sunshine tenants interest as a primary goal— is simply that Iannucci loses one of his several paychecks. The idea that they HAVE to exist is a myth perpetrated by Iannucci and Mike Keys in order to convince council and the public to throw good money after bad. Pull the plug! Make the Sunshine board and the CD Dept. get to WORK on disassembling this failed housing program in a way that keeps paying tenants in their houses!

Hey WP, do you know what the consequences of shutting down Sunshine would be? and Johnyboy, of what states that you speak just automaticaly reduce property taxes? Woodsman, do you really want your tax dollars to go to a state audit of a non proffit company? Purecountry, you are wrong about the COUNTY foreclosing after a month "have you seen their backlog?" Neversummer, You are making some sense. KTF, Sunshine is not a city department and the city can't shut them down. Josh baby, do you really live in such a delussional state that you believe that is how things go down? DrPhil, I think everyone gets their tax bills and knows that they are past due. Just call the COUNTY auditor and try to work something out, I'm sure they would be happy to collect something instead of nothing and let you keep your home. This forum is as rediculous as ever!

Maybe they sit back until the taxes get too high for the average home owner to recover from, making it easier to seize the property and sell to the highest bidder?

I have relatives that haven't payed ANY taxes on a place they bought over 3 years ago. Nobody knocking on their door! Is there anyone in the Treasurers office that checks on things like this? Just wondering...

Didn't this meeting end with Mr. Keys, our very own unqualified head of CD, telling council that it was not Mr. Iannucci's job to attend these meetings and that in the future, all issues were to be discussed between council and CD?
No time for public questions. Odd how Mr. I cancelled Mr. Novak's meeting to attend this one and there was no time given for public questions... I wonder if Ms. Rucker promised Mr. Iannucci that...
Not that the public showed for this one... I guess word got out that Mr. Iannucci, who has ALL of his salaries paid for by the taxpayers, was not going to attend any meeting where the public was allowed to speak...

Disgusting. Sunshine and WRAP are pathetic wastes of taxpayer money and they need dissolved. Anyone who doesn't see that (including Council) is a part of the problem too. SMDH.

Exactly WP, that's the right answer. Too much confusion exists at this point. I can say the property values never changed because you don't get a reduction unless you apply to the Board of Revisions or Mr. Lamancusa.
I once had a property with a gas station on it, yet when the station was torn down and tanks removed I had to actually attend a hearing to have the taxes lowered. Even after insisting all you need to do is "drive by the property" to see there is no building there!
Unfortunately the County will force you to prove yourself before lowering taxes even while knowing you're right because their purpose is to keep a tight grip on our wallets...

I think the reason that Sunshine has so many empty houses is that people are confused and think that they sell cold pizza instead of renting housing. Maybe they should consider a RICO charge against the Sunrise.
1 Agrees | 5 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Purecountry495. That's a bad idea. Nobody wants these homes. Why would you want to flood the market when there are no buyers?
Think of it like this. It's 87 homes. How many other homes in Trumbull are for sale, empty or abandoned? It's in the thousands.
3 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
"Iannucci said the 87 single-family residences had a value of approximately $3.68 million, but with depreciation, that value drops to about $1.9 million over the 15 to 20 years the non-profit has had them."
This is pretty telling. That's over 50% devaluation. I bet if you look at the valuations year by year over the past 15 years they peak in 2007.

The real question here, is why this wasn't addressed long ago. Just you let your taxes go and see what happens. Answer is, there will be a sheriffs sale of your property and it won't be years down the road either. Why is Sunshine or Iannucci being treated different than everybody else. Maybe the people responsible for collecting the property taxes needs replaced. Seems there is a hidden policy to treat some people different than the majority of the tax payers.Iannucci should be given 30 days to pay up or all property's confiscated and put up for sheriffs sale. Any monies from the sale of the homes already sold and waiting for the monies, should all go towards paying off this tax debt not just the profits.

Not long ago Al Novak called for a state audit of Sunshine Homes. I guess as usual he's all talk and no action. That's the way it is in Warren. Sunshine should have to get appraisals to lower their taxes just like us.

Just one question to ALL TC property owners: With the property values dropping substantially, How many of you have EVER seen a drop in your property taxes? It's odd that in other states when property value are decreased so are the taxes on that property, strange isn't it????

Fire Iannucci and close Sunshine down. Just another worthless agency in Trumbull County that cost us taxpayers money.

I can't thank you enough dearest valued contributors!
Oh, well! I haven't thought my thread would have get really nice replies back and I gratefully appreciate every word you have written so far!
First of all, I have been an undergraduate, studying linguistics at the Faculty of Arts at the university of khartoum in Sudan.. that was in 1994! I have been so sorry to quit studying and travelled to Egypt for some seven years then came back again to complete my studies once more!
The four lines of Shakespear's sonnet are still a part of a course I'm really struggling with so far! To be frank, the meaning of those lines hits me so badly that i couldn't even go any further with them, though the question about them runs as :-
Demostrate with examples from Shakespear's sonnet X1 the various linguistics changes in the aspect of sounds, forms, syntax and meaning??
I'm deeply sorry if I've offended you dearest managers and members and direly hope you could excuse me for being ignorant of the forum rules and of my poor language!
Thanks in advance!

GIRARD - Standing among friends, Cindy Michael's smile drifts away as she recounts the horror her family endured nearly a decade ago.
On Sept. 14, 2005, Michael lost two grandchildren Mason Cross, 5, and Christian Pizzulo, 1 when an intentional fire was set at their home along Dearborn Avenue in Girard.
"You just never know when you're going to see something and think, 'Mason would have loved that,'" the paternal grandmother said. "You don't know what is going to trigger a memory."
Article Video
Also found dead at the scene was the boys' mother, Lena Cross, 22. An autopsy later showed Cross was stabbed to death prior to the fire, and the boys died of smoke inhalation.
Michael and her husband, Ken MacPherson, spent the days following the crime trying desperately to make sense of the situation.
The family rifled through the debris of the charred duplex, searching for a memory to latch onto.
Article Photos
Tribune Chronicle / Ashley Newman
Cindy Michael, left, and her husband, Ken MacPherson, reflect on the lives of lost family members during a fundraiser dinner at the Fraternal Order of Eagles hall on Saturday.
"I found Mason's SpiderMan book bag that I bought him for school," Michael said. "He never got to use it."
That's when Michael had an idea to help the healing process. The murder reverberated throughout the Mahoning Valley, resulting in cards and money pouring in from many well-wishers.
"What do we do with the money?" Michael asked. "I thought, 'Let's use it to buy kids book bags in honor of the Mason, Christian and Lena."
Now, more than eight years after the murders, Michael and MacPherson have made their charity work an annual tradition.
The two grandparents hosted the seventh annual spaghetti dinner fundraiser at the Fraternal Order of Eagles hall in Girard on Saturday.
More than 100 people were in attendance for the fundraiser. All proceeds from the event, which cost $6 for adults, go to benefit needy children in the Mahoning Valley and beyond. Along with the dinner, a basket raffle off and a 50/50 drawing were held.
The Lena Mason Christian Memorial Fund, which gave away more than 450 book bags last year, is largely supported through the dinner. The book bags are given away each year during an annual Kids Free Fun Day held in August at Tod Park.
"It is really important to us," Michael said immediately following this year's event. "In our minds, whoever murdered Lena and started the fire that killed Mason and the baby had no regard for their lives.
"To us, they were the world. To have someone treat them like they were nothing and to have such disregard for their lives made us want to keep their memories alive in a positive manner," she continued.
Michael estimates that around $6,000 in donations were raised at the dinner last year alone.
According to the family, working to support children around the area has been instrumental in the family's grieving process.
"The fact that, for us and for my wife (Michael), the feeling has been more than we ever even expected," MacPherson said. "It seems like the more we give, the more healing that occurs. The pain never goes away.
"There are always those times where it comes back, but for the community in Trumbull and Mahoning counties to come together like this gives us all a lot of pride," he said.
Hundreds of local residents and political figures were in attendance, including Trumbull County Commissioner Frank Fuda, Girard Municipal Court Judge Jeff Adler, Hubbard Councilwoman Lisha Pompili-Baumiller and others.
"This is such a beautiful tribute to the family," Pompili-Baumiller said. "As beautiful as it is, I wish it wouldn't take something this tragic for people to come together. But, this is very good because they use the money to help other kids. I wanted to come out and support the cause."
While the family and community continues to heal, the case seems no closer to being solved.
No arrests have been made in the murders as the case has grown cold.
"We've tried to get it escalated up through the attorney general's office numerous times," MacPherson said. "We've tried to get the various shows like Nancy Grace and others to pick it up. No one has really run with it."
According to MacPherson, the family would like to see arrests made but more important is that the right people are eventually brought to justice.
"On one side, we're not in a rush to convict the wrong person," MacPherson said. "That's the last thing we want to happen. At the same time, our biggest fear is that there's evil still out there. You'd like some justice. It won't change the pain and won't change how you feel, but everybody would like true justice. We've figured out a lot of complicated things in our modern world. Why can't we get this one?"

Duquesne at Sacred Heart Highlights 2013 NEC Television Schedule
Aug 16, 2013
PITTSBURGH - Duquesne's trip to Fairfield, Conn. to face Sacred Heart on Nov. 9 highlights the five-game Northeast Conference television package released today.
Through a recently-completed agreement, all five games will air nationally via ESPN3.
Defending conference champion Wagner hosts Bryant in the first game of the package on September 28. A complete schedule of televised NEC games - which includes at least one appearance by all seven league members - is listed below.
The 2013 package will welcome former NFL punter Jeff Feagles into the NEC's broadcast booth. The two-time Pro Bowler, who enjoyed a 22-year professional playing career, will provide color commentary on the coverage. Paul Dottino, a New York Giants beat reporter and NFL Network contributor, will return for what will be his 11th season handling play-by-play duties. For the fourth year in a row, John Schmeelk will serve as the sideline reporter for NEC football.
Duquesne, which is beginning its sixth season as an associate member of the NEC, was picked to finish second in a preseason poll of league coaches released this week.
The Dukes, who are in their ninth season under head coach Jerry Schmitt, open at home against Albany on Aug. 31.

Michael Parker would be the first to tell his fellow students at the University of Michigan, Dearborn about the wide range of roles in the banking industry. This is Michael's second year as an intern at Fifth Third Bank. He returned as an assistant in the Retail Administration division. He has friends who work in the Mortgage department and the Investment Advisors department. This year Fifth Third hired Michael and 15 other college interns to work this summer, from May 21 through August 10 in various departments at the bank. Another intern, Tiffany Moore, a marketing student at Bowling Green University, Bowling Green, Ohio, splits her time working in the Human Resources, Community Development and Marketing departments.
Of 16 summer interns, almost a dozen work at the corporate office in Southfield. The remaining few work in the Mortgage department at branches in cities throughout southeastern Michigan. One of the advantages of the internship program is that the students have an opportunity to perform jobs that align with their major fields of study, allowing them to utilize their strengths. "I'm glad that we are not stuck just making copies and filing," said Gabrielle Sherrer, a student at Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia. "I work in the Community Development department and I do a lot of things to support the staff. I've had a chance to go to off-site meetings with Ms. (Dolores) Sturdivant to learn how they interact with companies and nonprofit organizations. It's really interesting."
Gabrielle is also the lead on a Junior Achievement volunteer day, one of the three group volunteer activities that the interns are required to perform during the course of their internship. The interns will also participate in the Summer Splash event at the Childrens' Center, and will volunteer at Gleaners Food Bank while at the bank this summer. All of the students show a consistently high level of motivation on the job.
Angela Cook, an accounting major at Northwood University in Midland, has returned to work at the bank for her third year. Angela has demonstrated her ability to take on increased responsibility over the past few summers. She has worked in the Mortgage and Community Development departments.
The students work 40 hours a week and in addition to a regular salary for the summer, the interns may also receive college credits if the work they perform at the bank is aligned with their major field of study.
For summer employment, the students must, at a minimum, attend an accredited college. Each student that was hired for a paid internship position had two interviews and was selected in part based on how they presented themselves professionally. Nancy Ramirez, executive recruiter, manages the Fifth Third Internship program and keeps the summer staff busy with more than trivial tasks to keep them busy. In addition to completing job duties in their assigned departments, the interns also participate in group volunteer activities and attend monthly Lunch and Learn sessions with bank senior management. The interns must also actively participate in a team project that is designed to help them to develop interpersonal skills, research, sharpen critical thinking and prioritization skills. The project is led by interns Christopher Elliott, Michigan State University, Paul Irwin, Jr., University of Michigan, and Eric Winkler, Western Michigan University. The group is tasked with developing a plan that goes beyond the theoretical to find ways to integrate cutting edge ideas in technology into current banking processes at Fifth Third.
At the end of the project, the group will compile and formally present their findings at the end of the program to bank senior management. The presentation will help the students sharpen their communication and presentation skills, develop a comfort level in interacting with senior management personnel and developing concepts and presenting ideas in a team environment.

Discusion Forum for all UL Power Aero Engine owners and operators around the world.
During the late 1970s and early 1980s, many people sought to be able to fly affordably. As a result, many aviation authorities set up definitions of lightweight, slow-flying aeroplanes that could be subject to minimum regulation. The resulting aeroplanes are commonly called "ultralight" or "microlight", although the weight and speed limits are rarely the same between any two countries. - Read more.
The fundamental purpose of investigating accidents is to determine the circumstances and causes of the accident with a view to the preservation of life and the avoidance of accidents in the future, including ultra- and microlights.

The Depression for farmers - North Carolina Digital History on Mar 17, 12
he growth of cities and railroads opened new markets for farm products, and industrialists found new ways to process them into convenience foods. But little of the money from these new markets went to farmers — instead, it went to railroads, other distributors, and processors
New technologies, meanwhile, made farmers more efficient — they could produce more with less work from the same land. But expensive machinery introduced what economists call an economy of scale: Only bigger farmers could afford the technology, and so farmers had to expand — or be forced off the land, as many were. (That trend, too, would continue throughout the twentieth century.)
Farmers who had borrowed money to expand during the boom couldn't pay their debts.
As farms became less valuable, land prices fell, too, and farms were often worth less than their owners owed to the bank. Farmers across the country lost their farms as banks foreclosed on mortgages.
Farmers were still producing more food than consumers were buying, and now consumers could buy even less.
Farmers Faced Foreclosure during the Great Depression on Mar 17, 12
Here's what often happened. During the 20s, many farmers borrowed money from banks to buy more land or new machinery. Farmers pledged their assets as security on the loan. So if a farmer couldn't make the payments on a loan for land, the bank could take back the asset – the land – and sell it to get back their money. In the 1920s, many loans were written when land values and crop prices were high. After the stock market crash, few people had the money to buy land, and so land values plummeted. When a bank had to foreclose and sell the land, they couldn't make up the difference. So, banks would take all of the assets pledged to the loan. Families were often thrown off their farms and lost everything.
Great Depression - A Short History of the Great Depression on Mar 17, 12
Small farmers were hit especially hard. Even before the dust storms hit, the invention of the tractor drastically cut the need for manpower on farms. These small farmers were usually already in debt, borrowing money for seed and paying it back when their crops came in. When the dust storms damaged the crops, not only could the small farmer not feed himself and his family, he could not pay back his debt. Banks would then foreclose on the small farms and the farmer's family would be both homeless and unemployed.
SparkNotes: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Chapters 2–3 on Jan 29, 12
wain uses Tom to satirize romantic literature and to comment on the darker side of so-called civilized society. Tom insists that his make-believe adventures be conducted "by the book." As Tom himself admits in regard to his gang's oath, he gets many of his ideas from fiction. In particular, Tom tries to emulate the romantic—that is, unrealistic, sensationalized, and sentimentalized—novels, mostly imported from Europe, that achieved enormous popularity in nineteenth-century America. Tom is identified with this romantic genre throughout the novel. Whereas Tom puts great stock in literary models, Huck is as skeptical of these as he is of religion. In both realms, Huck refuses to accept much on faith. He rejects both genies and prayers when they fail to produce the promised results. Twain makes this contrast between Tom's romanticism and Huck's skepticism to show that both points of view can prove equally misleading if taken to extremes.
Themes, Motifs, and Symbols on Jan 29, 12
Civilized society - When Huck plans to head west at the end of Huck Finn to escape further "sivilizing," he is trying to avoid more than having to take baths regularly and going to school. Throughout the novel, Twain depicts society as a structure that has become little more than a collection of degraded rules and precepts that defy logic. This faulty logic manifests itself early, when the new judge in town allows Pap to keep custody of Huck. The judge privileges Pap's "rights" to his son over Huck's welfare. Clearly, this decision comments on a system that puts a white man's rights to his "property"-his slaves-over the welfare and freedom of a black man. Whereas a reader in the 1880s might have overlooked the moral absurdity of giving a man custody of another man, however, the mirroring of this situation in the granting of rights to the immoral Pap over the lovable Huck forces the reader to think more closely about the meaning of slavery. In implicitly comparing the plight of slaves to the plight of Huck at the hands of Pap, Twain demonstrates how impossible it is for a society that owns slaves to be just, no matter how "civilized" that society believes and proclaims itself to be. Again and again Huck encounters individuals who seem good (Sally Phelps, for example), but Twain takes care to show us that person as a prejudiced slave-owner. The shakiness of the justice systems that Huck encounters lies at the heart of society's problems: terrible acts go unpunished, yet frivolous crimes, such as drunkenly shouting insults, lead to executions. Sherburn's speech to the mob that has come to lynch him accurately summarizes the view of society given in this book: rather than maintaining collective welfare, society is marked by cowardice, a lack of logic, and profound selfishness.

Track Officials and Caster Semenya Reach Agreement in Gender Inquiry - NYTimes.com on Dec 08, 09
One of the most public and controversial cases of sex verification in sports has apparently been resolved, at least in part, but the answers to some important questions have not been made public.
South Africa's sports ministry said in a statement Thursday that Caster Semenya, 18, the world champion 800-meter runner, had reached an agreement with track and field's world governing body to keep the gold medal and prize money she won at the world championships in August.
Most notably, however, the sports ministry did not say whether Semenya would be allowed to continue to compete as a woman. The statement also did not disclose the results of sex-verification tests she had undergone.
"As such, there will be no public announcement of what the panel of scientists has found," the sports ministry said
Her coach, Michael Seme, said in a telephone interview from Pretoria that Semenya "is going to compete as a woman and will remain a woman until she dies."
Makhenkesi Stofile, South Africa's sports minister, described Semenya as excited about the apparent resolution of her case, according to the South African Press Association.
"She will roll with the punches," Stofile told the press association. "In my view, Caster Semenya's future is in her hands. She can decide to run as a woman, which she is."
Sex-Verification Results on South African Runner, Caster Semenya, Awaited - NYTimes.com on Dec 08, 09
The International Association of Athletics Federations had been expected to announce its findings by Friday, but instead said it would not discuss her medical tests.
"The I.A.A.F. will not comment upon the medical aspects of Caster Semenya's case," the governing body said in a statement. "There will be no discussion of Caster Semenya's case at the forthcoming I.A.A.F. Council Meeting. No further comment will be made on this subject until further notice."
Before the final, the I.A.A.F. said it had ordered gender tests be conducted on her because of her muscular build and recent rapid improvement in times.
Analysis - Seeking Simple Rules for Complex Gender Realities - News Analysis - NYTimes.com on Dec 08, 09
The current policies of the International Association of Athletics Federations are vague, incomplete and contradictory. For example, one states that some women with some male-typical aspects (including, in some cases, a Y chromosome and testes) can play as women, but it doesn't specify which combinations disqualify an athlete. This means a woman like Semenya can't really know for sure, in advance of competition, if she should show up.
The I.A.A.F. requires that transsexual women have their hormone levels kept female-typical through removal of the testes and ingestion of female-typical hormones.
Fair enough. But it allows born-females with adrenal tumors to compete as women, even though their bodies may have higher levels of testosterone than the average male. Not too consistent.
Essay - Science Is Forcing Sports to Re-examine Their Core Principles - NYTimes.com on Dec 08, 09
Caster Semenya, the South African 800-meter world champion whose sex is in question, faces similar opposition. Perhaps her biology is just too male to entitle her to compete on the women's playing field. Specifically, maybe she makes too many androgens, those "masculinizing" hormones.
But the medical commission of the I.A.A.F., the world governing body for track and field, knows that women naturally vary substantially in their androgen levels. In fact, I.A.A.F. policy allows a woman with adrenal tumors — who may make more androgens than the average man — to compete as a woman. When asked to explain its reasoning, the I.A.A.F. did not respond.

go SLOW. the symptoms are MUCH worse if you don't take your time tapering.
I've been on antidepressants for over two years. I do have a history of depression but was able to get off meds while trying to conceive my daughter. But then PPD hit. However, I am now trying to get off the meds again (with the permission of my doctor).
Anyone have any ideas on how to get over the detox faster? or at least minimize the symptoms?
My brain is foggy, I'm exhausted, and my stomach's wonky. This is pretty par for the course for me.
I have been fully primal since the beginning of January, and off and on before that. This is almost like the carb flu, but I am past that.
Any help appreciated.
go SLOW. the symptoms are MUCH worse if you don't take your time tapering.
Depends on what type of AD you were on-SSRI, MAOI, tricyclic, etc.
Julia Ross's book The Mood Cure was VERY helpful when I was getting my sis detoxed from Lexapro (which is a bitch to get off of, BTW-at least, it was for her!)
Low Dose naltrexone is very helpful, and also safe for use during pregnancy (at <4.5 mgs a day, it reduces risk of miscarriage), and increases endorphin production.
5HTP or tryptophan, GABA, and DLPA are the aminos that I used on K-we swapped back and forth with the trypto and 5HTP as a) it didn't affect her to change and b) our supply was somewhat limited here in town.
All of the above are safe during pregnancy as well, as I understand it. (Especially when compared to AD's.)
Wonky stomach, to me, says low serontinin-which would be helped by tryptophan or 5HTP....serontinin receptors are in the gut as well as the brain...Are you taking vitamin D supps? Given that it's PPD-have they tested thyroid, and by testing, I mean running not just a TSH, but also a
Free T3
Free T4
Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase
Have you had sex hormones checked? Are you nursing? How milk supply, if so? (relates to sex hormone and thyroid hormone levels).
I have the book, so PM me if you can't find it in a reasonable amount of time.
Sending you a pm anyway...

OK, so I can't pm you. Are you dakini at RTH as well?
I'm not a health professional but I am firm believer that you can use a dry suana to kick anything. It's for sure worth a look.
There's a lot being written about magnesium supplementation helping with depression and anxiety. I feel so much calmer since I started using it. I really noticed a difference when I switched to magnesium taurate by Cardiovascular Research. I would think it would help you wean off of your anti-depressant.

I'm finding this thread really interesting. Not sure if you have insurance for this but laser therapy can reduce symptoms of withdrawl and obsessive thoughts (I used it to quit smoking) Also acupunsture can help stimulate your liver and kidneys to work faster so elimination is quicker.
Unfortunately with SSRIs and the like you'll have to live with the half-life of the medication.. so time is the key. Have your dr prescribe you down doses to help taper off, that will help with the withdrawal symptoms. Exercise helps a lot with the symptoms of withdraw and will help with your mood during transitional time, so make sure to get your exercise on. Walks, runs, whatever floats your boat.
I had a lot of success with Depression Free Naturally.
thanks everyone!
I'm not sure what RTH is...
Just so you all know, I'm not pregnant and not trying, just last time I did this I was doing it in prep for trying to conceive.
I am tapering, but because I am super sensitive to medication (even my doctor agreed when I told him that non-drowsy med will make me sleepy) any changes affect me a lot. And because the amounts are now down to nothing, my body's rebelling worse. I was on Ciprilex (I might have spelled that wrong) and it's better than Paxil was, but still not fun at all.
As for exercise, I'm not feeling it at all. My mood is actually fine, it's just the physical symptoms that are killer - headache, foggy head, upset stomach, exhausted.
I am already taking magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin Bs, Omega 3 fish oils, as well as a multivitamin and have been for a few months.
I haven't been tested for thyroid for years, maybe I should again. When I was it was fine.
Thanks for all the help. I am feeling a little better today, but still feeling it. I will definitely keep working at it.
