When I was sixteen my family celebrated Christmas in Ireland, where we gained a new but enduring family holiday tradition. Saying we spent Christmas in Ireland sounds glamorous, like we might be the kind of family that took annual trips to Disney World each February school vacation in addition to a week on the Cape each summer, but we weren't. In fact, we usually took one vacation each summer, and it was a long weekend somewhere accessible in the family midnight blue Mercury station wagon from our home in northeastern Massachusetts. Places like Naragansett, Rhode Island or Quechee, Vermont.
We had our Christmas in Ireland by way of a business trip. My stepdad Arthur frequently traveled to Ireland for work, but similar to our family trips, his Irish business took him to the Dew Valley Cooked Bacon Factory in County Tipperary — not the Guinness HQ. When the bosses asked him to travel over the Christmas holiday in 1997, he agreed if his family could come along too, and they agreed. My sisters and I (there were three of us, all in high school) got passports and geared up for our first trip out of the US.
The weekend before we left for Ireland we celebrated Christmas at home with our traditional family brunch and presents from Santa. Our plan was to journey in a "U" shape around Ireland from Dublin down the coast and back up to Shannon before flying back to Boston, but we'd be spending Christmas in Tipperary with the MacCormacks.
Arthur had met Morris MacCormack at the Dew Valley Cooked Bacon Factory, and he and his wife Catherine had invited us to spend Christmas Day with them and their three young children. For that leg of the trip we stayed in a small cottage nearby. I'm not sure how it got there, but inside a Charlie Brown-style Christmas tree made things festive despite its scraggly branches, and come Christmas morning my mother surprised us with our Christmas stockings, stuffed in advance and flown all the way across the ocean as a home-away-from-home holiday treat.
Later, in the warmth of the MacCormacks living room, my sisters and I played with their children (Katie was the oldest, then Mossie, then Niamh) and tried our first sips of hard cider. Another first came at dinnertime, when we were each presented with Christmas Cracker at our plate — a holiday tradition in the UK, its commonwealth countries, and Ireland.
Crackers are made from a cardboard tube wrapped in festive paper to look like a wrapped piece of candy. Like a wishbone, two people take hold of each end of the Cracker and pull until it pops and breaks (the pop coming from inside like a cap gun), revealing contents that include an ill-fitting colored paper crown, plus a small toy or trinket. Sometimes the Cracker also contains a joke or riddle. Morris showed my sister Courtney how it was done, and we all followed suit and donned our paper hats for dinner, despite knowing (with absolute certainty) that they weren't flattering. The fun of participating in an Irish Christmas tradition trumped vanity.
Without fail, we have kept up the Christmas Cracker tradition at our annual family holiday brunch, and we continue to wear the paper crowns and trade the trinkets inside. Anyone who won't wear their crown gets a hard time from the rest of us, though I noticed in more than one picture over the years some of us (including me) slip them off when the camera comes out. Only my sister Courtney remains a proud crown-wearer in all photos.
Continuing the Christmas Cracker tradition reminds us of that merry Christmas in Ireland in 1997, when despite being far away from home and our extended family, we learned that Christmas spirit can glow healthy and strong anywhere — so long as you have those you love the most with you, along with good company and good food.

My DH and I tried to give our 10 week DD a bottle of expressed BM this afternoon. It was a total failure - she screamed and cried and resisted for 30mintues at which point I stepped in and said "forget this, it's not that important, I'm feeding her."
I'm not going back to work until she's about 8 months, but it would be helpful for her to take a bottle for the occassional night out. I figure in a few more months we can introduce a sippy cup and she could just get her BM from that when we're out if all of this fails totally...is that reasonable?
Are there any suggestions that you might have to help her take a bottle? We tried two different types of bottles and I left the room. At one point she was sort of mouthing the bottle nipple and seemed to be trying to figure it out, but that ended in her screaming.
Thanks for any tips you may have.

Im so SO iffy on this, and just recently about 2 weeks ago Ive been thinking about night weaning DD.
I have soooo many mixed emotions about this, and I cry as I write this.
I have had soooooooooooo many struggles in the begining of BFing and am SO SO proud that we over come them all, and I dont plan on STOPPING BGing any time soon..
DD nurses as she always has throughout the night pretty frequently. Id say.. 4-6 breasts worth During the day she nurses when she wakes & to nap and sometimes if she wants to I let her. Again I dont plan on stopping anytime soon.

I dont want her to wean at all what so ever..
any of you moms night weaned abour this time, were you scared too? how are your LO's nursing still!?

I am new here and looking forward to learning a lot. My husband and I are in the process of adopting (this will be our second). Our first son came home at 12 months old and I hadn't ever considered nursing him. Our second child will be a newborn and I really want to try to breastfeed. I have never been pregnant and have had a hysterectomy (I still have one ovary).
We could receive a hospital placement any day or we could be matched with a birthmom due a few months out. We could also be waiting a year for a match. I'm not sure when or how to begin. Has anyone had this experience and if so, how did you handle it?

I need help in calming down. I left dd with MIL and I told her to call me if DD is acting fussy. well MIL didn't call me and gave her 2oz of newborn formula from 6 months ago because she thought she was hungry. I fed dd in front of her a 1/4 of banana and nursed her before I left. I was gone a hour and a half only. she never even called me. I know she was only trying to help...but y Feed her.
I am sure DD will be okay even though it was old formula. But I am made and she knows it.

VIDEO: Sean Greene and Jason Bowen break down Wesley's win over Mount IdaJustin Sottilare tied a school record with six touchdown passes as Wesley cruised passed Mount Ida 73-14 in the opening round of the NCAA Division III National Football Tournament.
The Mustangs from Newton, Mass. picked up some momentum after a Sottilare screen pass to Steve Koudossou was bobbled and intercepted by Kayln Smithson for a 41 yard pick-six, but that would be the last real highlight for Mount Ida.
The ensuing kickoff was squibbed to Wesley blocker Jared Morris, who proceeded to return the gift 76 yards to the end zone to re-establish a 14-7 lead.
Wesley's offense then scored touchdown passes from Sottilare on each of its possessions for the rest of the half, starting with a Jeremiah Howe 34 yard catch to make it 21-7 after one. Touchdown passes to Steve Koudossou (57 yards), Matt Bundy (15 yards), and Brandon Robinson (14 yards) were only countered by a bizarre set of plays by Mount Ida in a 41-14 game at the break.
Mount Ida's lone second quarter touchdown came after they ran a fake punt play where the snap went to protector Matt Valentini, who then faked a run and tossed back to punter Scott Drosendahl. Drosendahl, also the team's quarterback, then found right side gunner Jovan Wilkins wide open in Wesley terrirtory. Later in the drive the Mustangs ran a wide receiver reverse, only to have Dejhaun Williams find Jordan Hyman open in the end zone after a Wolverine defender slipped.
The teams traded turnovers to start the second half, but then the Wolverine offense continued its dominance as Ishamar Malcolm collected a 9 yard pass from Sottilare following an Aamir Petrose interception. Mount Ida then surrendered a safety after a punt snap sailed over Drosendahl's head and out of the end zone to make it 50-14.
Wesley's drive after the free kick started at the 50, but was marred by an altercation between Wesley left tackle Brian Cranmer and Mount Ida lineman A.J. Knibbs that led to the latter's ejection. On the next play, Sottilare threw a perfect 29 yard pass to Koudossou to push the lead out to 57-14.
A 27-yard field goal by Dan Tryon, who missed a 57-yarder just before halftime, and a 2 yard touchdown run by Kennard Squirrell completed the scoring for the Wolverines.
Wesley amassed 514 yards of offense, including 267 out of the right arm of Sottilare, who was 15-of-23 with the six touchdowns and one interception. Koudossou led all receivers with 4 catches for 101 yards and two scores, while Askia Jahad was Wesley's top rusher with 83 yards and the one touchdown.
Drosendahl, who entered the game 4th in the nation in passing efficacy was just 11-of-29 for 104 yards and two interceptions. Chris McNally netted just 22 yards on 22 carries, as the overall Mustang rushing attack was charged with minus-10 yards on 38 carries when you include Wesley's 5 sacks and the blown punt snap.
Wesley advances to the 2nd round of the Division III tournament for the 8th straight year, and will face Cortland State Saturday at Noon at Miller Stadium. Cortland State survived a challenge from Framingham State before winning 20-19 thanks to a missed extra point in the final minutes.

DeVos says West Michigan a great place to live
Posted on November 12, 2013
Dick DeVos said he has a long list of reasons why West Michigan is a great place to live and work. DeVos, president of Windquest Group, was the featured speaker for the Peter F. Secchia Breakfast Lecture November 12 at the L. William Seidman Center.
DeVos said growing up in Grand Rapids has made him appreciate what the community has to offer and he is proud to be a part of it. "I come in contact with people all across the state who are discovering what West Michigan has to offer," he said. "I meet people who say how much they appreciate Grand Valley, and the education, values and culture our area provides."
DeVos listed his top reasons that make West Michigan a special place; the list included entrepreneurship, philanthropy, clean and safe environment, family friendly, strong work ethic, a conservative approach and a faith perspective.
"Some may disagree with some of the things on my list, but these values mean we strive to live to a higher standard, we believe there is purpose in life and that each person has value," DeVos said.
DeVos also said geography makes West Michigan unique. "We are blessed to be near beautiful bodies of water. And, Northern Michigan has everything the east coast has, without the attitude and crowds," he said.

Tumbling Televisions
By Health Day
An important warning for parents today... That TV in your family room may be dangerous to your kids but not in the way you think!
A new study finds falling televisions injure thousands of children each year.
Researchers tracked national Emergency Room data from 1990 to 2011 and identified nearly 400,000 TV-related injuries in patients under 18. That's an average of 17,313 children treated each year.
From the start of the study to the end, injuries from falling TVs jumped more than 125%.... the majority of the young patients were under 5 and most were boys.
Over 64-percent of those injured were under 5. Nearly 61-percent were boys.
Nearly half of the injuries happened when a TV fell off a high dresser or armoire. Nearly a third happened when the TV toppled from an entertainment center or TV stand.
So what's a parent to do? Make sure the TV is anchored to the wall or stand. And always use any anti-tip devices provided by the manufacturer when you set up your screen.
The researchers are also calling on manufacturers to redesign the next generation of TV's with stability in mind.
I'm Dr. Cindy Haines of HealthDay TV with the news that can keep you and your loved ones safe, healthy, and happy.

If you're anything like me, you grew up with TV as your Christmas nanny. Therefore, you know that some bizarre things happened on television during the holiday season. Christmas ghosts appeared on shows that had zero supernatural elements, angels apparated only to steal the plot of It's a Wonderful Life in order to give the writers a Christmas break. Star Wars lost its mind.That's all par for the course in the world of Christmas television specials. To find the truly surreal, you have to dig deeper. For example ...
4Mr. T Reveals His Weird Obsession
On paper, it looked like a good idea. Mr. T and Emmanuel Lewis were two of 1984's biggest stars, and who doesn't want to spend the holidays with Mr. T? Look at those two! They're like a giraffe and a turtle hanging out together, but urbaner. In execution, Mr. T and Emmanuel Lewis in a Christmas Dream was the perfect storm of '80s entertainment -- a show that relied on '70s-era ventriloquist Willie Tyler and his puppet Lester for the jokes and whatever the opposite of a Stranger Danger PSA is for the plot.
Emmanuel Lewis plays a latchkey kid who can't get into the Christmas spirit, and Mr. T plays a street Santa who swoops him up and hustles him around town to metaphorically smack the jolly into him. Which was kind of weird, because '80s kids were told that there were three things they were supposed to avoid: crack, strangers and insider trading convictions. In fact, Mr. T himself sang-talk-rapped-mumbled a whole song about avoiding strangers.
So Mr. T and Emmanuel cavort around New York City singing and dancing and admiring Rockette gams. That in itself isn't too strange, because again, it was the '80s. You could have a tone-deaf tree frog where your voice box should be and you'd still have to sing and dance at the drop of a Rubik's Cube. Nothing, however, justifies the vehemence and passion Emmanuel puts into his hip wiggling.
Along the way, they meet Maureen, who DOES NOT PLAY Webster's mom on the show called Webster. Repeat: This redheaded lady with spiky hair is not "Ma'am" from Webster.
If I didn't know any better, I'd think that NBC pulled a fast one on millions of children who thought they were watching a Webster Christmas special. Then again, in 1984 lots of women walked around with a Ziggy Stardust haircut, so maybe no one minded that Not Ma'am was not Ma'am from Webster. And just so we're clear, I haven't even addressed the most surreal moments from this Ambien sleepwalk of a special yet.
The Most Surreal Moment
When a prestigious choir starts singing, Emmanuel does this head roll loop thing. It's almost like he's a puppet and a puppet master is yanking the string that controls his head. Or he's a snake and the American Boychoir is his snake charmer.
Two, Mr. T doesn't know what to do with his hands while the choir sings, so he faux conducts. You know, like we all do when we hear classical music and we're 4 years old.
Three, and this is the BIG ONE, after telling the story of the birth of Baby Jesus, Mr. T delivers a second speech where he reveals a bizarre obsession.
This is what happens when you let Mr. T write his own dialogue. You get phrases like "The blessed of us must try to save the less of us" and a freakish yet sincere quest to find out if Baby Jesus smiled. Never mind that newborn babies only smile when they're sleeping and farting -- Mr. T isn't concerned with the logistics of infant emotional responses. All he wants is to make Baby Jesus of the past smile, and maybe a time machine to see it happen. One look at the audience reveals how OK everyone is with this fixation.
But that speech was exactly what it took to get Emmanuel Lewis in the Christmas spirit, and for his parents to finally show up to retrieve him from the street Santa. Here's another thing you probably didn't know about the '80s: If you were a small black child, you were in constant danger of getting carried around like a toddler, even when you were freaking 13 years old like Emmanuel Lewis.
"I missed you, Blonde Black Mommy!"
3Andy Williams Lures Famous Children to Finland
Among the celebrities we lost in 2012 was Andy Williams, an old-fashioned singer who was a treasure among people who value crooning and whiteness. Williams was famous for his version of "Moon River" and his annual star-studded Christmas specials. But in 1984, Andy decided to shake things up a bit. Instead of inviting tried and true performers like Donny and Marie Osmond to sing the classics and wholesomely sip eggnog, Williams wrote his Christmas special around the kids of the NBC lineup. Can you imagine seeing the Cosby kids, Punky Brewster, two of the Lawrence brothers and Alfonso Ribiero in the same room? Dream no more!
The plot was as sinister as it was simple. In order to lure NBC's favorite children to his remote cabin in Finland, Andy Williams promises that they're going to "search for Santa." It's like Ocean's Eleven, but with more overacting and Broadway vibrato. To get them there, Andy sends each kid a personal invitation, written with the the creepiest phrasing since "Baby, It's Cold Outside."
Granted, the Cosby kids probably saw his sweater and immediately felt safe, but it's still pretty weird. Especially because we watch the child actors get traveling permission from the actors who play their TV guardians, not their actual parents. So, for perspective, Soleil Moon Frye and her three actor friends beg George Gaynes, respected Police Academy actor and someone who doesn't have authority over any of these children, to travel to Finland with 50-something-year-old Andy Williams. George Gaynes was from Finland, so of course he didn't mind.
Speaking of terrible noises that hurt your ears, have you ever wondered why the Cosby children lip-synced all those songs on The Cosby Show? It was because Bill Cosby was a fan of quality, and the actors who played his children sounded like people imposters when they sang.
Among the kids going on the journey is The Facts of Life's Mindy Cohn. There she is, sitting in what appears to be an inner city women's shelter with pre-Carlton Banks.
Normally when I see Mindy Cohn and a black guy together, I don't bat an eye, but in the very next shot, Mindy's gone. No explanation, no "Oh, she had other plans with the Scooby gang." Somewhere between the women's shelter and the airport, Mindy Cohn disappears. Did Tootie get jealous and shame her back to Eastland Prep School where she belonged? Did Alfonso literally murder her right after this picture was taken? We'll never know, because explaining the absence of a major character wasn't worth the effort of whoever put this travesty together.
The next thing you know, Andy Williams and his gang of future G-listers are on a plane to Finland. This wasn't a plot point to add depth to the story; they really went to Finland.
Upon landing, the kids and Andy shack up in a cabin for a slumber party and singathon. Apparently, in Finland, all conventions of appropriate personal space between adults and children are irrelevant. Once again, the '80s have forgotten their most important public service announcements.
If you watch carefully, you'll see the exact moment when Lisa Bonet realizes that this whole trip is bullshit.
If you don't have the stomach to watch the song (and unless watching Joey Lawrence Broadway it up is your thing, you don't), this particular number is Andy Williams promising to give each child his love for Christmas. Nothing else, just his love all wrapped up in his own body. Even actual pedophiles know that they should buy presents. These kids are thousandaires, they don't need that kind of love from you, old man.
The Most Surreal Moment
After luring the kids to his cabin with a promise of meeting Santa (and his love), Andy takes the children to a smaller, more intimate house, one that houses Kris Kringle himself. And against all logic and historical folklore, he's right. Santa Claus is real and he lives in this tiny Finnish house and he's us.
Cut to Andy Williams alone, outside, talking to the camera and thanking the good people of Finland for hosting him and the children he was probably digesting at that moment. Did the NBC kids ever meet Santa? We'll never know, because there is ZERO footage of that part of the show on the Internet. Maybe they are Santa, like us, as evidenced in the picture above. Or maybe they hopped the first sleigh out of Helsinki as soon as the old man's back was turned.
All I know is that this show won an Emmy for music because adults in the '80s didn't have ears that worked.


text: Let's get the praise for this story about praise music and hymnody out of the way first. NPR's All Things Considered did something very rare and they did it nicely. The show featured a full four minutes on Christian worship music. The show managed to do this without sneering and without any politics. The show [Read More…]

The development center offers a range of services to members looking to become entrepreneurs, but it is also eyeing a younger demographic, hoping to convince some younger members to turn their per capita earnings into new businesses.
Every tribal member has his or her share of the casino earnings held in trust by the tribe until they turn 18. Several years ago, the tribe put in place a financial education system to help young members make good decisions with their windfall, which can be in the tens of thousands range.
But the development staff wants them to go beyond that, to help diversify the business offerings in Cherokee and simultaneously gain success in their own right.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre trying to tell these kids with the money theyŌĆÖve got coming in when they graduate, you could actually start a business by yourself,ŌĆØ said Gloria Griffin, director of the Cherokee Enterprise Development Center.
In 2012, the Cherokee Preservation Foundation, in concert with the development center, ran a business competition at Cherokee High School, giving $1,000 to the winner, who proposed an ice cream truck in the Cherokee area.
From there, Griffin said that theyŌĆÖve offered the same services to students as they do to adult members ŌĆö credit counseling, marketing, an eight-week crash course in owning your own business ŌĆö and though the kids havenŌĆÖt jumped on those opportunities just yet, Griffin and her team are hoping they will, for their own future and for a more diverse, financially successfully Cherokee in the future.
ŌĆ£There are so many people wanting to go into the same business, like mowing, we had a lot of people wanting to go into mowing. ThereŌĆÖs just a lot of people that want to do that and thatŌĆÖs only seasonal,ŌĆØ said Griffin. ŌĆ£And then restaurants are just really hard to get into as a startup. They demand 100 percent of your time and you have to build a reputation. We need to diversify our businesses here on the Qualla boundary.ŌĆØ
Perhaps with encouragement from Griffin and her staff, the next generation of Cherokee will be the ones to make it happen.

Since late last week, NZ has had three official languages - English (de facto, not de jure), Maaori, and now NZ Sign Language. Are there any other countries that have made their SL an offical language of the country?

Please, how does a language become "official" and what does the term imply?

the US doesn't have any official languages...there are some who would make it bi-lingual, (English and Spanish) and more who feel it should be English only...
citizenship does requires a basic knowledge of english.--but its written/reading english, not spoken english.
the league of women voters-a non partician group that have made it there business to distrubute voter information alway have info in a host of languages.
NYC has bi-lingual education programs, 90% of which are english/spanish, even though spanish speaker only make up something like 40% of the non english speakers.
the general held view is bi-lingual (english/spanish) classes present the opportunity for kids to grow up illiterate in 2 languages._________________________

In NZ, Maaori's official status means that all government documentation is available in two languages (my passport for example is in both). All government departments have two names, and my favourite is the Inland Revenue Department Te Tari Taake.
It also means that the languages are sanctioned for use in court, meaning that the entire proceedings of a court can be conducted in that language. Apparently, this was a big part of the reason for making NZSL an official language. Also, in Parliament, an MP can speak in any of the official languages without being required to translate, as used to be the case before Maaori was granted official status.

Making sign-language a official language seems like a political move to garner favor with the populace - the "gee, how nice and caring is that party."
What are the basic rules that are followed to make a language official in NZ?
Here it is the greatest number of speakers using the language - thus English and French.

I have friends who have worked as NZSL interpreters for the Justice Dept. here, and the TV piece on the change indicated that the court situation was a major reason for the elevation in status. Clearly, the NZSL decision was a special case, and I'm not sure of all the reasons, but the other two are more "normal" choices - English by volume, and Maaori for reasons of historic significance.

Life support or pull the plug? What would you prefer for yourself?
What @Jessica and @disco said.ReplyCancel
If I am going to be a veggie and never wake up- pull it and cremate me.ReplyCancel
Pull it.ReplyCancel
I am adamant that I do not want to merely exist. My family knows I want the plug pulled and then I want them to drink lots of fine scotch and tell stories about me while joyous music plays. Then scatter my ashes.
I also support assisted suicide (and live in a state where it is legal). There is just no reason to drag it out. Should it become when and not if I will go, I want to go on my own terms.ReplyCancel
Pull the plug. Me and my man decided that a long long time ago. We have told our family and our children the same so there will be no indecision should the awful situation arise.ReplyCancel
Not my decision at that point, so I prefer whatever helps my family deal with grief.ReplyCancel
If I'm gone, pull the plug.
Then cremate me and throw the wake I have planned in my will.
@ Luke – ITA. To all of. More importantly the huge party.
My brother is a hospice therapist and we call him the angel of death, because, well, he is. One of his favorite therapy exercises is to have the dying list the song they want played at the start of their service and at the end. When you think about it, it's pretty awesome, and thoughtful.ReplyCancel
Pull the plug. Put me in a Bio-Urn and turn me into a pretty plant or tree…haven't decided which one I'd like to become. Of course, it's probably not legal in the US. I, too, am supportive of assisted suicide for the terminally ill.ReplyCancel
If there's no hope whatsoever of me ever having any kind of half-decent life (e.g., in a permanent vegetative state), then yes, pull the plug and donate any usable organs.
I've always said in the past that I'd rather be cremated, unless, of course, there's anything even vaguely fishing about my demise, in which case pickle me & put me 6 feet under just in case. Something that's made me laugh recently is a sigfile I've seen on some forum or another that says something to the effect of "when I die, I'm going to be buried in a springloaded coffin full of confetti, so some day some archeologist can have a REALLY cool day!", and I have to admit I get a kick out of that one, though. 😉ReplyCancel
That would be "vaguely FISHY"…ReplyCancel
I believe anything that "hurries" along death accounts to murder.You have to allow it to occur naturally and not interfere in any way but let nature take it's course.ReplyCancel
Send in a cleaning lady with a vacuum to pull the plug, watch the horrified looks as she plugs in the vacuum in it's place then turns to everyone and says
"She got you bitches one last time!"
Steal my organs then cremate what's left. Scatter my bits at Sunset Beach in Vancouver with my departed bro.ReplyCancel
Sheery (and others), I was almost waiting for y'all to add "Stick a fork in me, I'm done."
I myself would like to be put through aggressive experimental techniques if I were on life support for more than 60 days. See what can be done. Then pull the plug after a few months. Unless the costs were prohibitive, and then just pull the plug.ReplyCancel
And by Sheery I meant Sherry, sorry 'bout that.ReplyCancel
Pull the plug. Also if pain becomes unbearable (e.g. terminal cancer), I want the possibility of euthanasia (it's legal over here).ReplyCancel
Pull the plug (although I don't believe in euthanasia I do believe in allowing someone to die naturally). This is assuming I'm terminal of course. And as many pain killing drugs as possible before. I want to be cremated but I would prefer my ashes not be scattered but buried in an urn.
And allow them to take as many organs as they can – Heaven knows we need them here.ReplyCancel
@Pogue Mahone (and I know what that means!!)- if we allowed it to occur naturally and didn't interfere in any way, but let nature take it's course, we wouldn't be hooked up to a life support machine – we'd be dead.ReplyCancel
For my 55th birthday (which will be along sooner than I'd like, dammit), I'm getting my first tattoo. On my chest, it will simply say "D.N.R."
Which, of course, means 'do not resuscitate'. Which will hopefully stop them plugging me into a damned machine in the first place. My loved ones all know my feelings on the matter, and know that I have promised to haunt anyone who defies those wishes. And yes, I will make the walls bleed my displeasure, if it comes to that. =DReplyCancel
Great minds, smash, great minds 🙂ReplyCancel
they would be scrambling to switch me off!ReplyCancel
VeryUnseemly and smash: This is where I have the ethical dilemma: if one is put on life support in the first place then I don't believe it should be removed; you don't start it and then remove it; you don't help sustain one's life longer and then snatch it away. There are some cases where "extraordinary measures" are NOT put in place in the first place to prolong life(the person prefers to just die naturally and NOT be PUT on life support to begin with) but once life support measures are already put in place I believe to discontinue it is murder.ReplyCancel
I'm a plug-puller, but I have to add a little caveat – many, many times, these situations are far more complicated that just a straight-up are you brain dead situation. My father in law was kept alive by a respirator for nearly the last year of his life, and it was a decision I agreed with. He was fully lucid and aware, but his respitory system was shot – emphaseyma for nearly 20 years. It was very evident that "pulling the plug" on him would be murder, as he was still very much with us, but couldn't effectively breathe on his own.
Anywhoo, just a little food for thought. So many times, it's not the death, but the dying, that's so heart-wrenching and complicated.ReplyCancel
If there's a chance, life support. If there's no chance, pull the plug. I'm all for assisted suicide, too. If the person is terminally ill and in pain, let them die with dignity and on their own terms.ReplyCancel
Pull the plug ALREADY!!!ReplyCancel
@ Pogue – As a nurse, I understand, and it's such a personal decision based on our life experiences and upbringing. We each have our own code and the most important thing is we communicate it (whatever it is) to our loved ones and hospital staff. However, where I live, my wishes can be over-ridden by next of kin/family, so sometimes I wonder what the point of declaring it is sometimes!ReplyCancel
The worst is when you don't know if there's "a chance" or not. "Informed consent" doesn't always work the way it should. If we'd known earlier all the stuff we learned after we pulled the plug, my dad would've been spared days of suffering, and the system would've been spared a million dollars in medical costs.ReplyCancel
Pull the plug!ReplyCancel
I don't like this question one bit! *L*ReplyCancel
@Kamil – you might want to reconsider having DNR tattooed on your chest. There have been many cases of people who have arrested and resuscitated, had treatment and gone on to live many more happy, healthy years. There are also events that would cause you to arrest not connected to terminal illness – being accidentally electrocuted for one.ReplyCancel
Damn Enty you asked this question on the day I had to have the family pet euthanized.ReplyCancel
@nevermindthat: I'm so sorry for the loss of your pet. Hugs and love to you. <3ReplyCancel
Pull. The. Plug.ReplyCancel
When my mom died last month (and if I didn't say it then let me say now you guys were awesome to me during that time) we had to make the choice and it was a no brainer, we had them pull life support because that just isn't living. It's life, yes, but it's not living.
As for me, I've always said give it 30 days if there is some hope for recovery (my mom had all her organs fail so there was no hope at all) and then pull the plug on me.ReplyCancel
If I'm going to be a veggie – pull the plug. If I'm going to have no use of any of my limbs – pull the plug. If my mind isn't going to be good – pull the plug. And if I get cancer and it's getting to the end – give me a huge dose of painkillers and let me go. I don't want to suffer. I don't want those around me to suffer.
I would like to have an open casket type of memorial with my hair and make up done, in a hot outfit with all my favorite music played. And then cremate me and do what you want.ReplyCancel
This is an extremely heavy question, and something I had to deal with last May. I think you should make it clear to your family or significant other before there is even a need to worry. my stepfather and I argued about my mother. even though I knew her wishes, she had never told him.ReplyCancel
Pull ….donate ….cremated
THE ENDReplyCancel
Made it clear to my children to pull the plug. On a side note- keep an eye on my ex-husband cause he'd pull the plug if I got a paper cut!ReplyCancel
I already told my Mom I give her full permission to "trip" over the cord. Cremate me, donate all my organs except for eyes and spread my ashes into the Caribbean.
I think assisted suicide should be legal, especially if the patient has specified before that that is what they want. I don't want my family to suffer, I don't want them to watch me suffer, I want them to live their lives to the fullest extent, not a half life centered around me.ReplyCancel
Where you live, they can override a living will? Do you have one?ReplyCancel
Sorry for your loss. Pets are family. I'm sure you based this decision on your pet's best interest.ReplyCancel
PULL THE PLUG!! Working in a hospital I see a lot! I told my family if they keep me alive I will HAUNT their ass like a bad horror movie!!ReplyCancel
I have seen family members override a living will. They needed Granny for her Soc. Security check and her home.ReplyCancel
My husband and I have living wills to hopefully avoid ant confusion about our wishes. If we have learned anything from the Terry Schiavo case, it is the necessity of having legal documents that state your wishes. I hope all of the readers here do the same to protect yourselves.ReplyCancel
*Any confusion…ReplyCancel
give me a couple weeks if there's a shot I will wake up, otherwise you'd better pull the plug. Keeping me artifically alive so that I can run up a huge bill for my family, so they can watch a corpse breath with the help of a machine? Why would I want them to see me that way? I'd give them enough time to say goodbye to me, then I'd want to leave.ReplyCancel
I've told everyone that if i have an accident, a head trauma or a stroke they cannot pull the plug. If there was an underlying reason like terminal cancer that put me in the coma, they can go ahead.
I'm not at all sure my son would not pull for the money so my daughter and my best friends have my POA.
If there's no chance, pull the plug. I do not want to sit there lifeless and wasting money.ReplyCancel

Good. Bunch of fruits.
Our dreams have come true! this probably wont stop the miami heat from flopping though which is a shame because stern has his arse so wrapped around miamis tiny schlong that they wont get affected by it. we will have to wait and seee! good news overallELIZABETH, N.J. -- The NBA is finalizing a new procedure to deal with flopping this coming season, with an off-court remedy expected to be in place before the start of the regular season.
After meeting with their newly revamped competition committee two weeks ago in New York, the league anticipates that incidents of flopping will be adjudicated on a postgame basis with fines assessed for the offenses, a league spokesman said Thursday.
"The procedures will likely involve a postgame review as opposed to calling it as an in-game infraction," the league spokesman said in a statement to CBSSports.com and other outlets.
The new policy does not need to be approved by the Board of Governors, which meets next month in New York, because it does not involve a rule change for on-court play. In that way, the new policy will be similar to a crackdown several years ago on so-called "respect for the game" rules violations, which resulted in a brief uptick in technical fouls.
The news came to light as the NBA's officiating department held its annual preseason camp, some of which was attended by sports writers and broadcasters who cover the NBA. It was the first such meeting under the leadership of Mike Bantom, who was appointed executive vvice president of referee operations earlier this month, replacing former U.S. Army Gen. Ron Johnson.
the only thing that will stop flopping is not calling it
good to hear also did the Fiba above the rim rules go into effect yet? Cause this and that rules will make big men and defense a premium which fits into what the knicks did...
Harden, Ginoblii, Cp3, Battier, Wade, Griffin, Bosh, Varajeo, Big Baby, Pierce, Raja bell & Fisher lol those are some floppers i can name right off the top of my head... but the list is alot longer i'm glad the NBA is actually trying to do something to prevent this flopmania stuff going on in the league.
Dude, holy ****, this is exactly what I said on some site, it might have even been here!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or maybe it was on a Call of Duty site, I don't know.
You call it after the game and after a while guys will watch their nuts. At the same time, you don't disrupt the flow of the game.
I think the NBA definitely reads this forum.
And I need to add that the Garden's overhead-walkway with the glass floor was my idea too. I posted it on a different forum and a few years later they decided to build it, so I guarantee that Dolan reads this forum too.
I remember Kobe was asked about flopping last year, he said thats not the way he believes in playing defense. U hardly ever if at all see Kobe flop, hes more of the type of defender where positioning is important and always getting a hand in the opponents face. I respect that alot, I see the advantages of flopping but Id personally rather leave things in my own hands then the hands of an official, and after a while players that repeatedly flop look like b*tches (Wade, Bron, Battier, etc.) Ginobili gets a pass, im not sure how that works but he is that dude so we'll let him slide.
I dont think its a good idea to fine players for flopping, you cant always tell without the replay. CA7 summed it up well, the only way to stop flopping is to stop making the calls

Fact Sheet Series 2004 - Adult Basic and Literacy Education
The OVAE Fact Sheet Series highlights efforts currently underway at the Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE) to support the principles of the President's No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The principle(s) supported by this effort are:
- Increase Accountability and Academic Achievement
According to the 1992 National Adult Literacy Survey, 21 percent of the adult population does not have a strong foundation in literacy. OVAE provides educational tools through technology to address this challenge and is using TECH21 as the vehicle to maximize that effort.
The TECH21 project uses information technology to help adults achieve adult education and life goals. The project brings together technology, adult learners, and teachers to use and participate in the development of IT-based models for learning instruction and professional development. Innovative technology-based instructional materials are examined, tested, refined, and implemented. Learners and practitioners will become leaders in the use of IT in adult education and their leadership will build capacity throughout the adult education system.
TECH21, now in its third and final year, is led by the National Center for Adult Literacy (NCAL) at the University of Pennsylvania and the National Adult Education Professional Development Consortium, Inc. (NAEPDC).
Outcomes and Products
- Identification and dissemination of promising practices using technology for adult education
- National Technology Laboratory in Sacramento, and Philadelphia; hands-on demonstration labs in Washington, DC and Arlington, Virginia
- Establishment of six program-based field sites in PA, CA, NY, CT, TX, and AZ
- Creation of a clearinghouse for innovative technology-based instruction materials
- Development of an information and learning Internet portal
FY 2001 to FY 2004, with a six-months no-cost extension through March 31, 2005

Hank Conger's New Gag Reel
Hank Conger's high school video, "Hank for President."
Back in his high school senior year, before he was drafted by the Angels in June 2006, Hank Conger made a government program class gag video that wound up on YouTube (see above). Once discovered, it rippled through Angels fan boards. In May 2007, I recorded an audio interview with Hank in which he explained the video's origins.
Now Hank has a sequel of sorts on YouTube, as discovered by the Halos Heaven web site:
Hank's new video, "Domingo Ayala: Catching with Hank Conger."
The video was produced for the Domingo Baseball Academy, which appears to be a gag. (Click "About" on the menu bar.) It also has Mark Trumbo in a video. Conger and Trumbo, both from Orange County, have been pals since both joined the Angels' organization.

The Write Stuff?1 of 15
By Natasha Burton
It's not often that a guy puts pen to paper and pours out his feelings. Luckily, even a man's most mundane scribblings can give you some insight into his personality. We recruited seven men from around the office and asked handwriting expert Kathi McKnight to analyze their script. Find out what she had to say about our handsome bunch of coworkers and how they reacted to her assessment.
The Writing2 of 15
McKnight says that this guy is both head-oriented and objective, but the vertical slant (as opposed to forward learning) and closed e's show that he's often skeptical.
The Reveal3 of 15
Jim, 42: "I think the analysis got at some truths about me: I try to be objective and am often skeptical. I suppose I do often look at life from an intellectual standpoint, but I also tend to trust my feelings, and I can be very emotional, too."
The Writing4 of 15
This man crosses his t's with good pressure, McKnight says, which shows a strong sense of determination. He's also affectionate and can often visualize that which he cannot touch, see or feel.
The Reveal5 of 15
Chris, 36: "As a writer, and as someone who still writes a lot of handwritten notes, I always feel very determined when I sit down with a pen and paper. I'm single, so 'affectionate' isn't the first word I would use to describe myself, but I know that those around me would definitely say that because I do love a great hug. And I love the meditative description in this analysis, because visualization is a practice that I do apply in my day-to-day life."
The Writing6 of 15
According to McKnight, this guy is organized, as indicated by the upper loops and lower loops in his j's, which are fairly equal in width and length. His writing also shows that he has hopes and dreams for the future, though it appears he has turned his back on someone in his past who hurt him, revealed by the reversed lower loops of his f's.
The Reveal7 of 15
Gary, 29: "I pride myself on being very organized and get stressed out when I'm not, so that is true. I definitely have hopes and dreams for the future, so it's nice to know my cursive reflects that. And, I actually have turned my back on a person or two in my past, but I don't know for sure if my handwriting changed afterward, but I suppose it is very possible."
The Writing8 of 15
McKnight says that the upper zone of this guy's writing is disproportionately tall, which shows that he's proud and prefers high achievement—even over emotional satisfaction.
The Reveal9 of 15
Ebby, 23: "I'm not sure how she determined I prefer high achievement when my handwriting is worse than a 6-year-old's...but I'll take it as a compliment, and I'd like to think it's true. However, I'd also like to think that emotional satisfaction is still important to me and is part of what motivates my desire to achieve."
The Writing10 of 15
The right slant in this sample shows an extroverted quick thinker. Yet, this man seems to be running away from his past, says McKnight. "And he has a tendency to hold on to worn-out relationships too long."
The Reveal11 of 15
Michael, 40: "Extrovert? Definitely. I'll also happily accept 'quick thinker.' It would have been nice to get 'genius' and 'destined to be a billionaire,' but you can't have it all, I suppose. I was born in Oklahoma, so I am most certainly running away from my past by living in Los Angeles. Though, I prefer to think of my worn-out relationships as being well-broken-in or 'antiqued.'"
The Writing12 of 15
This man is charismatic and expressive, McKnight says. "Yet, a retraced l—or a closed loop in the l—means that he may be confining himself to the stark realities of life," she says.
The Reveal13 of 15
Ted, 25: "This was interesting, a lot of fun getting to see my handwriting analyzed. And apparently a future full of regret awaits me! Can't wait!"
The Writing14 of 15
McKnight says that this guy's writing indicates that he's easygoing, but his closed l's suggest that he may be protecting himself—perhaps someone from the past hurt him and that has tainted his outlook on life.
The Reveal15 of 15
Charles, 23: "This is pretty accurate, but I'm still skeptical. I think everyone has experienced some type of hardship from the past that affects how they act in the future."

Like Packers, TV ratings for game start strong, then fade
I went to bed at the start of the fourth quarter of the Green Bay Packers' loss to the New York Giants. And judging from overnight ratings, so did a lot of people.
By the end of the 38-10 blowout, more than 185,000 households had turned off the NBC telecast of the game on WTMJ-TV (Channel 4), according to A.C. Nielsen's overnight ratings. »Read Full Blog Post(10)
Zac Brown Band serves up Thanksgiving treat with new video
Zac Brown Band fans got an early Thanksgiving treat this week with the release of the music video for "Goodbye in Her Eyes." The band continues to mark themselves as creative video innovators on the singles from this year's album, "Uncaged." A couple months ago they released the rollicking animated Mike Judge-created piece for "The Wind." Now, they return with a unique perspective on perhaps the album's best track.
This time, the boys from Georgia apply the new single's emotional lyrics of soon-to-be-lost love and a swelling harmony-rich melody to a sepia-tinged circus scene.The result is a starkly beautiful, visually engaging menagerie of animals, jugglers and acrobats interwoven with the uncertainty of young love. »Read Full Blog Post

School Business Services
Limitation of Administrative Costs(Updated 10/16)
School District's budgeted administrative expenditures can not increase more than 5% over their prior year actual administrative expenditures, per Section 17-1.5 (Limitation of Administration Costs) of the School Code. The following functions are included under administrative expenditures:
2320 Executive Administration
2330 Special Area Administration Services
2490 Other Support Services - School Administration
2510 Direction of Business Support Services
2570 Internal Services
2610 Direction of Central Support Services
"Administrative expenditures" do not include early retirement or other pension system obligations required by law.
The Limitation of Administrative Costs Worksheet must be filed with the State Board of Education by November 15 of each fiscal year and report the Actual Administrative Expenditures for the previous fiscal year and the budgeted or proposed Administrative Expenditures for the current fiscal year.
School districts with administrative expenditures per pupil in the 25th percentile and below (the fourth quartile) for all districts of the same type (elementary, secondary [high school], or unit) may waive the limitation imposed under Section 17-1.5 for any year following a public hearing. Waiver of this limitation requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the members of the school board for each applicable year. Any district waiving the limitation shall notify the State Board within 45 days of such action. Adoption of the waiver limitation does not relieve a district of the requirement to file the one-page report discussed above by November 15 of the fiscal year.
If a school district that is ineligible to waive the limitation on administrative expenditures by board action exceeds the limitation imposed by Section 17-1.5 solely because of circumstances beyond the control of the district and the district has exhausted all available and reasonable remedies to comply with the limitation, the district may request a waiver pursuant to Section 2-3.25g of the School Code. If approved, this waiver shall only apply to the specific school year for which the request is made. For more information on the waiver process, districts may contact the Rules and Waivers Division at ISBE at 217.782.5270 or view the detailed information at the above link.
If the report and information required by Section 17-1.5 are not submitted on time or are determined to be incomplete or inaccurate, the district shall be notified in writing of the reporting deficiencies. The school district shall, within 60 calendar days of the notice, address the deficiencies identified. If the district fails to provide adequate assurance or to undertake the necessary corrective actions, the State Superintendent may impose progressive sanctions against the district, which may culminate in withholding all subsequent payments of General State Aid until the assurance is provided or the corrective actions are taken.
- History and Code References
House Bill 452, Public Act 90-548, added Section 17-1.5 to the School Code effective January 1, 1998. Section 17-1.5 was amended by House Bill 1640, Public Act 90-0653, effective July 1998. This legislation establishes limitations on the growth of administrative expenditures in all school districts having a population of less than 500,000. The City of Chicago School District 299 is the only district exempted from the provisions of this Section. School District 299, however, has been subject to a limitation on its administrative expenditures since the 1989-90 school year under the provisions of Section 34-43.1 of the School Code.
- Limitation of Administrative Costs Worksheet (10/16)
- Sample Resolution (10/16)
- Administrative Costs/Pupil rankings of school districts (based on FY 15 data) (10/16)
If you have any questions, please contact Michelle Heninger, 217-785-8779.
In accordance with Section 17-1.5 of the School Code (Limitation of Administrative Costs) the State Board of Education must publish each year a list of the school districts that violate the limitation and a list of the school districts that waive the limitation by board action.

More than votingMarch 08,2013
More than voting
Mr. Pappas is correct that town meeting has its faults, but that is part of its effectiveness. The social aspects of gathering, looking one another in the face, and speaking ones mind are why town meeting serves Vermont better than simply pulling a switch in a voting booth.
It is naive to believe town officials are not versed on the risks of town meetings fickle tendencies. They plan for it and do all they can to keep the process in line.
As a society, we honor tradition in so few ways, any opportunity to come together to shake hands and converse is a welcome change from busy daily lives. Politics at every level is messy. At town meeting, the mess is exactly what the involvement is about. At the end of the day, mutual decisions are made.
While I appreciate Mr. Pappas attempt to rekindle this debate, he has to know it will always fall short. It does take a certain kind of courage to speak up knowing you will be shouted down. For that, I am glad for another chance, with my neighbors across Vermont, to speak out for this fine tradition.

But Mares chose Monday to look ahead instead of dwelling on the disappointing defeat.
The Tigers saw a 20-7 halftime lead whittled away by the Indians' power running game and quarterback Chase Harrison's touchdown run with 15 seconds left gave Jourdanton a 28-23 win at soggy Indian Stadium.
The loss dropped the Tigers to 5-2 overall and 2-1 in district play while Jourdanton improved to 7-1 and 4-0. Goliad's playoff hopes could be determined in its next two games. The Tigers host Luling (7-1, 3-1) Friday before traveling to Marion (5-2, 3-0) on Nov. 8. Marion defeated George West 36-21 Friday night while Luling blanked San Antonio Cole 19-0.
"We knew that the next ball games were going to be our toughest ball games," Mares said. "depending on how we do against them will either put us in the playoffs or put us at home."
Jourdanton went up 7-0 with 2:03 left in the first quarter on Isaac Oropeza's 10-yard run and Jerald Meyer's extra point. But Goliad quarterback Dalton Sturm then led the Tigers' offense to three second-quarter touchdown drives.
Sturm, who completed six of 17 passes for 150 yards, threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Desmond Perry with 11:28 remaining in the second quarter. The two connected again 6 1/2 minutes later on a 17-yard strike to put the Tigers up 14-7.
With 14 seconds left before halftime, Sturm lunged over the pile and stretch the ball over the goal line to send Goliad into halftime with a 20-7 advantage.
Jourdanton, which rushed for 329 yards, went to the ground in the second half to wear down the Tigers' defense. Oropeza scored on a 6-yard run on the Indians' first possession of the third quarter as Jourdanton pulled within 20-14.
Sturm's 32-yard field goal with 7:23 left in the third quarter widened Goliad's lead to 23-14, but Jourdanton continued to pound away with its ground game and Harrison scored on a 4-yard run with 11:53 remaining in the game to pull the Indians within 23-21.
Jourdanton, which lost 21-20 at Goliad on the final play of the game last season, then gained revenge moments later with its game-winning touchdown march.
"We knew when we went into the ball game, we were going to play a pretty physical team," Mares said.

April 10, 2013 —
What is that sound I hear? Can it be the "thuck" of a fastball hitting a catcher's mitt? Is it the crack of a wooden bat hitting that round, white orb with the red stitching? Why indeed it is. A new baseball season is upon us. It is time for me to loosen up my old pitching arm. Hopefully, I will be able to send these woeful batters back to their team bench hitless, their bats silent.
So, play ball! Step up to the plate batter. Here comes my first pitch. This will be a 90-mile-an-hour fastball, just under your chin whiskers. It's good to put a little fear into a batter's mind.
1. In the third 1951 playoff game, Bobby Thomson nearly earned the title of "goat" rather than being the hero of the game. Why was that? Swing, batter swing.
2. There was a 1949 cover of the Saturday Evening Post painted by Norman Rockwell that showed three National League umpires staring up into a rain shower, trying to decide if they should call a rain delay. Name these three umpires. Welcome to the big leagues, Rookie. That is a nifty curve ball.
3. If you were lucky enough to hit that one, try to take an extra base. One of those three umpires was the home plate ump when Bobby Thomson hit, "the shot heard round the world." Aha, I believe you were tagged out at second base.
4. Here are three baseball quotations along with the names of the three men who said them. Match the proper name to each quote. The men are Alvin Dark, Casey Stengel and Tommy LaSorda.
"Being with a woman all night never hurt any professional baseball player. It's staying up all night looking for a woman that does him in."
"Every player should be accorded the privilege of at least one season with the Chicago Cubs. That is baseball as it should be played, in God's own sunshine."
"Walking into the clubhouse now is like walking into the Mayo Clinic. We have four doctors, three therapists and five trainers. When I broke in, we had one trainer who carried a bottle of rubbing alcohol and by the seventh inning he had drunk it all."
Oh, stop whining. You need to spend more time in the batting cage.
5. All fishing regulations need to be obeyed by all anglers. Tell me what year and where the first fishing regulation was passed in what is now the State of New York. You have to learn to stop stepping into the bucket, if you want to hit in the big leagues.
6. We are all familiar with Punxsutawney Phil, the woodchuck that is supposed to predict when spring will arrive. Once upon a time another animal was supposed to have this ability. Name the animal and the date it was to make its prediction.
7. What was the original name of Tennanah Lake? I have seen rusty gates that have a smoother swing than these batters.
8. In the early 1800s, an enterprising couple named Samuel and Hannah operated a fishing hostelry in Sullivan County. A small stream now carries their family name. Name that stream. Well young man, I am afraid the bus to Scranton and the minor leagues is waiting for you behind the stadium.
Answers and guesses are to be sent to Clem Fullerton, PO Box 103, Hankins, NY 12741. Answers will appear in The Tangler on April 25.
Anyone hitting at least 750 will be awarded two "poorly tied" flies.
