|How we feel about our kids isn't as important as how they experience those feelings and how they regard the way we treat them. - Alfie Kohn

I've been reading From Here to Serenity by Jane Nelsen and on the concept of separate realities. That is so true.

And then I read that asking a child why they do something isn't a question most can easily answer - most adults don't know why they do what they do and react how they do. It takes a lot of self knowledge to answer that.

No copy at my local library, unfortunately.

I thought the second part of the book, the part with the "suggestions" was a little weak. But not in a bad way. I think he definitely feels the relationship is the important thing, so doesn't give specific suggestions on purpose.

KWIM?

I've gone through this both about food (dinner) and clothes (jacket) and I totally agree that using a kid's choices againt him or her is kinda mean, and that a better way is to help them figure out how to get out of the predicament they are in, and help them learn to make good decision (rather than basically allowing them to get punished for bad decisions.)
I mean sometimes I decide not to eat and later realize it was stupid. I'd be annoyed if someone suggested I not stop for food because "I'd made a choice and had to learn to pay the consequences."
Totally interesting...

As working mom I took my 6 wk off and read "Playful Parenting" and "How to talk..." I really don't know when I'll get to read again with my active little guy. Kohn's books sound very interesting and I hope to make the time to read them.
In the meantime, I find that I use praise ALOT to guide DS's behavior. Since he is only 12 months, I feel it's all I've got at times. Other than removal from the situation, distraction, and other play. I have been trying to say "Thank you" when he is doing the appropriate behavior. I think this is still just Praise though. Most of the current issues are around oral stuff. He likes to put everything in his mouth. Most stuff I can tolerate but dirt, wood chips, and rocks, I have a problem with.
So for any of you who have read Kohn's books does he discuss small children or is he mainly talking about older kids. DS doesn't have much reasoning skills yet.
Anyway thanks for any input.

"When I was waitering somewhere they just didn't ask me to come back, so I guess that was the polite way of getting fired," he explains. "I was always better behind the bar.

NASA Cuts Majority of Contact with Russia Over Ukraine Troubles
Tiffany Kaiser
April 3, 2014 7:42 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
They will continue maintaining the International Space Station together, though
According to
The New York Times
, NASA announced yesterday that it is halting many forms of contact with Russian government representatives due to Russia's "ongoing violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity."
Russian and American relations have become a bit strained after Russia annexed Crimea, a Ukrainian peninsula with past ties to Russia. In response, the U.S. has imposed sanctions.
Despite these issues, the two space agencies have managed to maintain a normal relationship. The retirement of the U.S. space shuttle program in 2011 means that the U.S. doesn't have a way to launch astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS), so it depends on Russian Soyuz capsules to get there instead. Russia also benefits because it receives $70 million for every astronaut it launches.
But it seems even the space agencies have problems now, as NASA has decided to sever many ties with the Russian government -- except when it comes to operating the ISS.
[SOURCE: Mashable]
"Given Russia's ongoing violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, NASA is suspending the majority of its ongoing engagements with the Russian Federation," said NASA in a statement. "NASA and Roscosmos will, however, continue to work together to maintain safe and continuous operation of the International Space Station. NASA is laser focused on a plan to return human spaceflight launches to American soil, and end our reliance on Russia to get into space.
"This has been a top priority of the Obama Administration's for the past five years, and had our plan been fully funded, we would have returned American human spaceflight launches – and the jobs they support – back to the United States next year. With the reduced level of funding approved by Congress, we're now looking at launching from U.S. soil in 2017. The choice here is between fully funding the plan to bring space launches back to America or continuing to send millions of dollars to the Russians. It's that simple. The Obama Administration chooses to invest in America – and we are hopeful that Congress will do the same."
NASA is reportedly suspending travel to Russia, teleconferences, visits by Russian government officials to NASA facilities and even the exchange of emails with Russian officials.

Fire damages diner in Cranston
CRANSTON, R.I. (AP) — The owners of a diner in Cranston are vowing to reopen it as soon as possible after an early morning fire damaged the building.
Firefighters told WPRI-TV that they responded to the blaze at the Miss Cranston Diner on Oaklawn Avenue at about 2 a.m. Friday. Eyewitness video showed flames shooting out of the diner's roof.
Officials say one person at the scene was taken to a hospital for a medical condition not related to the fire.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. City officials remained at the scene Friday morning.
Family members who own the diner say they'll repair the damage and reopen as soon as they can.

Mario Gomez struck a 90th-minute winner to move Bayern Munich a step closer to appearing in the Champions League final in their own stadium with a narrow 2-1 victory over Real Madrid in the Allianz Arena.
Franck Ribery gave Bayern the lead in the 17th minute of the semi-final first leg, but Germany midfielder Mesut Ozil levelled early in the second half.
Bayern dominated for large parts of the game and found a deserved winner in the last minute through the prolific Gomez, giving them a slender advantage to take to Spain next week.
Madrid had the better of the first 10 minutes, but all they could produce was a shot from Karim Benzema which Manuel Neuer tipped over the crossbar after Bastian Schweinsteiger uncharacteristically gave away possession in midfield. Bayern responded and took the game to their visitors.
Franck Ribery felt he should have had a penalty when he went to ground under a challenge from Sergio Ramos inside the area - but referee Howard Webb waved play on - but the France winger was soon celebrating as he rifled Bayern in front with a shot from 10 yards, which only just avoided Luiz Gustavo in an offside position.
The hosts were looking dangerous every time they came forward, and those attacks were becoming increasingly frequent, with Arjen Robben marauding down the right and Ribery causing confusion in the Madrid defence down the Bayern left.
But they failed to make their pressure count with Gomez's shot turned behind by Iker Casillas just before the break. And Madrid levelled on the counter-attack eight minutes after the break.
Cristiano Ronaldo looked to have wasted the chance when his tame effort, one-on-one with the keeper, was saved by Neuer. But Karim Benzema picked up the rebound and took the ball back into the area, playing it across goal to Ronaldo, whose clever pull-back gave Ozil a tap-in from a yard out.
Madrid enjoyed their best spell of the game with Bayern and many of the 66,000 fans in the Allianz Arena becoming increasingly anxious. The Bavarians regrouped and soon got back on top of the game, though.
Two hopeful penalty claims were waved away by referee Webb as Bayern kept on pressing and their pressure finally paid off in the 90th minute. Philipp Lahm got to the byline down the right and fired a ball in which Gomez, sliding in, bundled over the line at the near post.

If you're upset over someone elses opinions then the issue isn't with the person giving the opinion but rather yourself for taking it personal.
Stating it's "obvious" makes it a bit like an axiom. They were selling cars last year too, they have some experience figuring out how to do all that and they also have accountants.I don't really see a HIGH demand for a wrx, they just keep the stock low for whatever reason but it's obvious that if their 10 car order is already sold before it hits the lot then they need to double or triple that order.Here, I don't disagree. I wouldn't wait either.As a customer I want to be able to pick from different colors and styles and not have to wait for them to order one.Subaru know exactly how well they sell; they count them.Either the wrx crowd is a niche market or they just don't sell as well as Subaru thinks.
You are equating low standing inventory with losing money. This isn't always the case. It also isn't always avoidable. Although I don't presume to speak for a company, my guess is that they are interested in making the most money with the least effort. This goal may not always be completely compatible with offering you a large number of cars from which to chose. I don't think they care. You probably shouldn't either.
Like you, I would not wait all that long for a car. I can't fault you for looking elsewhere. I probably would.

DISCLAIMER: Opinions expressed are the author's alone and are inherently worthless.
When you have a car like the WRX sitting on the lot it puts a lot of power into the buyers hands. They have the power to walk if they don't get the deal they want. They feel like they can just come back in a week and say "Hey I see that car is still sitting there, I'll buy it if you give me the deal I want". At that point the dealer doesn't really have much of an option but to try and work with them. More than they probably want to.
When you don't have a car just sitting on the lot it gives a lot of power in the dealers hands. They can say "These cars are so in demand that you will probably want to take this deal I'm giving you. I know if you don't, someone else will". This is the scenario dealers want. They want to be able to make that argument and get the sale.
Also, the main reason the bigger companies have a larger stock at all times is because they can afford to. Toyota, Ford and GM are massive massive companies. Subaru on the other hand isn't. They are tiny by comparison. They can't afford to just mass produce these cars and hope they sell.

Let's also not forget just how small Subaru actually is. The Honda Civic, just this one car, outsells the entire Subaru lineup on a yearly basis. Remembering this can put the amount of WRXs in perspective. It's a niche market car, that sells in a good month 1800 units, which is typically ordered to spec and not stocked with massive amounts of options. I understand your frustration, which is why I ordered mine, but there's just nothing that can be done about it.
Until Subaru starts getting to the size of Honda, Toyota, and the like, which won't happen in the next 10 years at least, the WRX will continue to be sparse on lots. And IMO, that's a good thing. I like driving the minority.

Also something noteworthy: when I bought my wrx, I had my credit union track it down for me, they called both dealerships in town looking for what I wanted. One dealership had 2, the other 3, neither exactly what I wanted color/option-wise. When I picked the one I wanted and went down to see them (same day as my credit union calling, btw) they said, "Here's what we told you about, with 135 miles on it. OR, right here, we have exactly what you were asking for." We walked around to the back of the dealership, in a narrow area between the building and fence where they had two or three more sitting. Mine was there with plastic on the seats and 5 miles on the Odo. So maybe don't believe there are "none" on the lot.

after working at a chevy dealer for four years with my step father in as head of sales I can tell you with some amount of experience that every point about the Subaru dealer are true..to a point.
Subaru is a smaller company so less production. yup, we know that. imo they are keeping it that way to not only keep their cars in demand but being smaller and not expanding too much also keeps the bills paid. their not over reaching so not going broke.
I was in charge (for a while ) of keeping the corvette and at the time, GTO customers happy with their cars. when they wanted to buy more and none were on the lot, id go ask the owner and a few days later....Volia. of course this magic only happened for proven customers or people who could front big cash. dealers can make quick car pulls IF you have pull with the dealer. rotten deal, but if you wanted a Z06 in 02 when they first came out after the dealer allotted single car sold(we auctioned ours for a gastly price) all you had to do was convince the sales department you had the money and its amazing how quick we had two, then three cars that were only supposed to be one per certified dealer for the first production. again, it sux...but money talks.
aaaaannnnnd.....to beat a plum to death...moneymoneymoney! dealers want what you have. if you commit to finding a car from a dealer(like I did with my bug eye)and put some money down for a sale sometimes they will go the extra mile to make sure you get what you want. and so do they(ive seen the commissions on 'good deal' used cars. yikes) and just like Rayfeilds BRZ I had 0, a great big Zero negotiation power. they knew when that car hit the lot they could sell it hard and fast. I actually had to bid around the mechanic that was working on it pre-delivery. I paid nine for mine, he was offering 12 if I didn't take it. I can only imagine how this plays out for the newer cars.
when my friends come up, i hear, "you sold the camarrrroooh.....HOLY BLEEP A WRX!"
Ya has that effect on me too.
Where did he go?? http://www.clubwrx.net/forums/builds...ll-thread.html
Forester - 110,363
Outback - 107,047
Imp. WRX - 16,289
Ford Mustang - 71,459
Dodge Charger - 88,191
Hopefully that gives some perspective on how niche the WRX market is. They wouldn't sell significantly more if they produced more, and they don't really care because they don't make much on them relative to their other vehicles anyway. It is a very small percentage of revenue for both the dealers and Subaru.
We are a minority.


text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- With three new stocks being added to the Dow Jones Industrial Average, TheStreet's Jim Cramer tells Debra Borchardt which is his favorite.While Nike ( NKE) is up 35% year-to-date, it is the laggard of the three, with Goldman Sachs ( GS) up 42% and Visa ( V) up 46%, respectively. However, Cramer added that Nike will report earnings later this week, and has an analyst meeting in October. The company will do just fine, he said. He also acknowledged that Goldman Sachs has seemed to close the book on its past legal troubles, but the lack of M&A activity and poor trading results has him concerned. That only leaves Visa as his favorite, which he called, "a really great company, the best of the three." Although the company has the most headline risk of the group, it has also been the most consistent. Cramer concluded that Visa will continue to prevail through any legal headwinds. He suggested that investors buy half a position now and the other half on a government-fueled pullback. Video

A Springer Celebration! 2017: A Roaring Good Time!
Set in the art deco surroundings of Cincinnati's Renaissance Hotel, A Springer Celebration! 2017 will be Gatsby-esque fun for guests, with a Roaring 20s theme!
Wednesday, May 3 will be the date for this evening full of fun and activities that will evoke memories of our own 20s, when we were exploring the world and discovering ourselves in the process. Business casual dress will allow guests to relax into the early 20th century feel of the venue – a building that was a successful downtown bank in the 20s, brought back to its original glory with the opening of the Renaissance three years ago.
It won't be possible to hear from Springer alumni from the 20s, so we'll feature instead alumni speakers in their 20s, who will share their stories of success and the impact Springer has had on their lives.
The evening will include cocktails and dinner, as well as silent and live auctions, a raffle, and entertainment. Chairing the event this year is Springer Trustee and alumni parent Matt Gockerman. "Our 2017 A Springer Celebration! will be a fantastic event for a great cause," said Matt. "It is always inspiring to hear from our graduates. Join us for a roaring good time!"
Springer is pleased to welcome Local12 WKRC-TV News Anchor Brad Johansen once again, as the evening's Emcee and auctioneer. Auction Co-Chairs Jenni Ward and Erin Carlton are already busy gathering exciting auction items and making their plans.
Proceeds from A Springer Celebration! 2017 will support financial aid, and school and outreach projects.
Don't miss the fun. It'll be the bees knees!
You missed it!

At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

WASHINGTON — The United States on Thursday severely criticized what it called systematic attacks on journalists in Egypt and said they appeared to be an attempt to shut out reporting of even bigger anti-government demonstrations to come.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton condemned "in the strongest terms" the pro-government mobs that beat, threatened and intimidated reporters in Cairo.
Attacks as well on peaceful demonstrators, human rights activists, foreigners and diplomats were "unacceptable under any circumstances," she said.
Clinton pointed the finger at the government of Egypt's 82-year-old president, Hosni Mubarak, without explicitly blaming it for the violence. She said, "It is especially in times of crisis that governments must demonstrate their adherence to these universal values,"
Egypt's government must hold accountable those responsible for the attacks and "must demonstrate its willingness to ensure journalists' ability to report on these events to the people of Egypt and to the world," she said.
Foreign photographers reported attacks by Mubarak supporters near Tahrir Square, the scene of vicious battles between Mubarak supporters and protesters demanding he step down after nearly 30 years in power.
The Egyptian government has accused media outlets of being sympathetic to protesters who want Mubarak to quit now rather than complete his term as he has pledged.
Among the many detained were correspondents for The New York Times, Washington Post and Al-Jazeera. Human rights groups said many activists also were taken away after a raid by the military police on a legal center in Cairo.
The Obama administration warned that the arrests and intimidation of reporters may be aimed at stopping the spread of the anti-government message ahead of a potentially critical protests Friday, when many Egyptians are expected to take to the streets after prayer services.
"It could well be that this is in anticipation of events tomorrow," State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said. "We are bracing for a significant increase in the number of demonstrators on the streets and the real prospect of a confrontation."
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs also offered a strong denunciation of reported "systematic targeting" of journalists. He said, "I think we need to be clear that the world is watching the actions that are taking place right now in Egypt."
On Capitol Hill, the Senate approved a non-binding resolution late Thursday urging Mubarak to hand over power to a caretaker government and begin a peaceful transition to a democratic society.
Amid heightened U.S. concern about rising violence in Egypt, President Barack Obama began his remarks at Thursday's National Prayer Breakfast with pointed hopes for better days ahead: "We pray that the violence in Egypt will end and the rights and aspirations of the Egyptian people will be realized."
And the administration complained Mubarak's government was failing to immediately start a process toward real democracy, continuing the U.S. pressure on its once strong ally to accept the call of hundreds of thousands of demonstrators over the past week for democratic change.
Clinton said the government needed to engage a "broad and credible representation of Egypt's opposition" in "serious negotiations on a peaceful and orderly transition."
The comments followed Wednesday's attack on protesters in Cairo's main square by hundreds of pro-government supporters, some riding horses and camels and wielding whips.
In Egypt, Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq acknowledged that the assault "seemed to have been organized." He promised an investigation.
Crowley blamed elements close to the government or ruling party for instigating the violence, though he said it was still unclear how high up the order came from.
The administration's call for an immediate transition from three decades of authoritarian rule in Egypt has coincided with American hopes that reforms in Jordan and Yemen could stave off similar revolt.
All three countries have experienced instability since protesters in Tunisia chased their leader from power last month.
Obama telephone Yemen's President Ali Abdullah Saleh to welcome "significant reform measures" that Saleh's government announced.
The White House said Thursday that Obama also stressed that Saleh "now needs to follow up his pledge with concrete actions," and urged that security forces show restraint in dealing with protests.
Obama also urged forceful action against al-Qaida, which has turned the impoverished Arabian country into one of the main battlegrounds in the war on terror.
Clinton had a 15-minute phone conversation with Jordan's King Abdullah II to tell him the United States looked forward to working with his newly named prime minister and Cabinet.
"We are eager to continue to support Jordan during these difficult times," Crowley said. "We appreciate the example that Jordan has set in allowing freedom of expression during recent protests."
Separately Thursday, a senior intelligence official said Obama was warned of instability in Egypt "at the end of last year."
CIA official Stephanie O'Sullivan would provide no further detail during an open Senate confirmation hearing to be the deputy director of national intelligence.
The chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., told The Associated Press that the events "should not have come upon us with the surprise that they did."
She said the Internet's use in organizing demonstrations in Tunisia and Egypt should have provided "much more warning," and that her committee would look into how intelligence agencies performed.
"Was someone looking at what was going on the Internet?" she asked.

Thank god for god-awful defending.
Sometimes playoff soccer is a mesmerizing matrix of synergy and skill and speed, and sometimes it is ineptitude run rampant. And sometimes it takes on a cagey, cat-and-mouse persona common around the world, with the home team pushing the issue, and the away team sitting back.
All variations were on display in the first games of the MLS conference semifinals, which suggested that blame for dull play or credit for exciting fare has not much to do with the format utilized, but rather the teams themselves and the strategies they adopt.
Crew head coach Robert Warzycha benched Guillermo Barros Schelotto and Alejandro Moreno Saturday and deployed two holding midfielders -- Brian Carroll and Danny O'Rourke -- in an effort to stymie Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium. The Crew attacked mostly through the headlong charges of Steven Lenhart, who nearly scored in the opening minutes, and soaked up pressure successfully until substitute Yura Movsisyan cut a ball to the near post in the 89th minute that Robbie Findley steered underneath keeper Will Hesmer for a 1-0 win. For the record, O'Rourke fired a shot just wide from distance with one of the Crew's very few scoring opportunities.
Warzycha is obviously banking on the home leg to carry his team into the conference finals, and had the games been spaced further apart, might have used Schelotto and/or Moreno, who both have been banged up in a busy season of domestic and international games. But only five days separate the first leg from the return game Thursday in Columbus, and Warzycha's pragmatic approach - steeped perhaps in his Easter European roots, Poland to be specific - is to be replaced by aggression and pressure from his strongest lineup. With RSL sporting a minus-15 goal differential in away games this year, who can blame him? Everbody outside of Salt Lake City will, of course, if it doesn't pan out.
New England hosted Chicago in the early game Sunday shorthanded, as usual, and surely going down early to a Chris Rolfe goal wasn't in the game plan. But once again in this injury-decimated season the Revs rebounded; Emmanuel Osei headed an equalizer from a free kick in first-half stoppage time for his first MLS goal, and Shalrie Joseph, who else, banged home a loose ball during a goalmouth scramble for the winner (2-1).
If the Fire is beset by a crisis of confidence going back home down by a goal after holding the lead it has only itself to blame. It has not played well at home (5-4-6) this season, though the Revs' 2-1 win increased the record of home teams in playoff meetings between these foes to 13-0-1. Chicago is in the same position as the Crew -- one goal down heading into the home leg -- but does it have the same confidence? It would not appear to be the case.
Chivas USA and the Galaxy betrayed the very concept of organized defensive play by their comedic displays Sunday at Home Depot Center Sunday afternoon. Atrocious mistakes lent a Keystone Kops flavor to the first Superclasico playoff match, which ended 2-2 and could have been 4-4 or 5-5 if all the defensive gaffes had been efficiently punished.
The nadir may have occurred when Landon
Donovan tucked a roller through keeper Zach Thornton's legs after Maicon Santos, whose goal in the fourth minute opened up the game immeasurably, shanked
a Paulo Nagamura clearance back into the goalmouth, and Donovan nipped between two opponents to tap the ball into the net.
I speak of Chivas USA-Galaxy in glowing terms not solely for its entertainment value but rather as a reminder as to the maddening ambiguity of playoff soccer, and indeed, soccer in general. Some strange force came into play at Home Depot Center and on the day after Halloween magic spells or trances spooked players into bad decisions, three of which became goals.
At Qwest Field in a memorable encounter Thursday, Houston and Seattle served up a frustrating yet fascinating 0-0 in which both teams deserved at least a goal, or perhaps two, by their crisp buildup play, quick strikes in transition, and efficient execution on set plays. It may have been the best-played game of the four first legs, and certainly conveyed the best atmosphere, yet it produced no goals.
All four games featured rookies or newcomers enduring their initial playoff tests; some faltered, others excelled. Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez erred on both Chivas USA goals, Revs counterparts Darrius Barnes and Kevin Alston performed admirably. Some very experienced players committed atrocious errors, and the luck and bounces that generally even out over a seven-month season may not be neatly so squared up in a compressed time frame. So it goes when a season's worth of effort is boiled down to a few games.
The playoffs are flawed, but they work, and they're not going away. They ratchet up the intensity and pressure, they reward competence - most of the time -- and they punish inefficiency, on the field and in the stands. Seattle sold nearly 36,000 tickets for its home game, New England couldn't hit 7,500. Those discrepancies are functions of the teams and their markets, not the two-leg format or short lead time to sell tickets for the first legs.
Only New England and Real Salt Lake were able to win their home legs, and they won only by a goal. The other two series are tied. As is usually the case in the playoffs, after one game nothing is decided.
Can Columbus overturn a one-goal deficit and overcome a defeat incurred with two of its offensive stars on the bench, and can Crew management pump up the crowd to give its team something of a homefield edge? In three days we'll find out.

Tomatoes of Life
By Jenny Durr
Insides squished up.
Who am I?
Lifeblood dripping, oozing out,
Weakening, don't know who I am.
New place, new people, new tasks.
Cooking, cleaning, pricing groceries.
Lifeblood oozing out.
Creativity drying up.
Feelings baking away in hot sun.
Slowly feel creativity rising back within me
No longer buried by the mundane.
Creativity flowing like lifeblood.
Creativity like ripened, succulent juicy tomatoes.
Creativity in my veins
Now being expressed.
I now feel alive like fresh tomato juice
Coursing through a newly birthed plant.
No longer am I like rotten, spoiled tomatoes
Dead on their vine.
By Jessica Evans
Love is mysterious.
It happens everywhere.
Love is luxurious
It makes me want to care.
Love is sensitive
your heart can tell.
Love allows you to give.
It makes you feel swell.
Love is confusing.
Love is amusing.
Love makes me feel warm and protected.
Love makes me feel free to reflect it.
By Cheryl Chapin
I will be leaving on a trip for business and for pleasure.
I'm sure I will enjoy the leisure.
Five days will be a treasure,
that no one else can measure.
It will be hustle and bustle,
and maybe a little bit of a tousle.
Packing bags, checking tags.
Boarding a plane.
Passengers might drive you insane.
I'm going on a trip for equal rights
and I don't mind the flight.
In between we might see some sights
and have a few bites.
Which for me would be a delight.
Meet new people.
Dance and prance.
I will advance
and maybe I'll get a chance
to find a bit of romance.
The Crash
By Anthony Lafond
Allen drinks a beer,
While Suzy tries to steer.
The road is dark and winding,
Suzy can't see a thing.
Allen laughs a joyful laugh,
A drunken laugh.
He covers her eyes,
Playing the game of
Let go, let go
You fool.
You're acting like
A tool.
Suzy's heart is racing,
Allen is not breaking.
A flash of light is streaking,
Suzy is screaming…
Stop you fool.
Burning rubber is screeching,
Suzy is not breathing.
Her heart is not beating.
Allen is bleeding.
Not crying.
Nor pleading.
Just laughing and
Still drinking…
A broken bottle
Still leaking.
Allen doesn't know
Is no more.
Too much drinking
I should say.
So much so
God couldn't
Save the day.

Two wonders on the bay of Naples
Tourist attractions come in two kinds: those that turn out to be far more impressive than you ever imagined, and those that look much better on the postcard than in real life. I always thought that the crater of Mount Vesuvius would fall firmly in the second category. But I was wrong.
Let me say straight away that, for the middle-aged, it's not the gentle stroll that it's often made out to be. For this trip we had invested in the new edition of the Blue Guide to Southern Italy and the entry on Vesuvius was only one of many things it got wrong.
The Blue Guides used to be reassuringly boring: loads of close printed information, careful directions to the B. Daddi altarpiece in the second chapel on the left, and art gallery collections listed obsessively, but usefully, room by room. The new version has fewer "facts", a smattering of sub-Dorling-Kindersley pictures and no obvious sign that those who have updated it have actually been to many of the places they talk about (always the benchmark of a good guidebook).
In the case of Vesuvius, it said that the crater was a ten minute walk from the car-park. Well maybe the athletic young can cover almost a kilometre at a 15% incline in ten minutes, but most of those making the trek on Sunday were taking a good half hour (even with the "free" walking sticks handed out at the start of the path).
Yet when you get to the top, there's not only a great view, over Pompeii and Herculaneum, but the crater itself (il gran cono) is truly gob-smacking: vast, sulphur-smelling and ominously steaming through its fissures. It really did feel like coming face to face with the earth's dangerous underbelly.
But if Vesuvius won a touristic star from me, so too – more surprisingly – did the Blue Grotto.
I had always avoided Capri's Blue Grotto in a frankly rather snobbish way. I'd seen too many garish postcards and nasty souvenirs, and tut-tutted about the pollution that tourism was causing in the grotto, even though I'd never seen it.
Capri is a very strange place: owned by day trippers from Naples and Sorrento by day, by the local plutocracy and up market holiday-makers at night. It has no function other than tourism – and it never has had since the Roman empire, when the emperor Tiberius took up long term residence. It is one of the few places in Italy where bars charge 30 euros for 3 beers and a coke without apparently batting an eyelid.
There is no much to do there, apart from spend money or visit Tiberius's "palace" (the not hugely impressive "Villa Iovis"). So the Blue Grotto comes near the top of the tourist list – all because when you get inside this seaside cavern, the sun coming in through the sea gives the water a weirdly translucent sheen.
Actually it turns out to be a rather well choreographed excursion. You can only enter the grotto in rowing boats which hold just four people (or actually, as the boatmen themselves insist, four "Westerners" or six Japanese – because they're smaller and make up a good proportion of the visitors). We had been advised to take a cab to the water's edge rather than arrive in one of the large boats that travel round the coast from the harbour. (If you go in one of those you can wait for ages while the whole boatload gets into the little boats, four or six at a time.).
We were quickly squashed into a rowing boat (four people was 36 euros, but somehow there didn't seem to be any change from 50) and were told to lie down in order to get into the grotto – because the entrance is less than a metre high. It takes a very long 30 seconds or so to get inside, but once there the sight of the gleaming blue sea in the dark cavern is absolutely stunning. And the fat tip extracted from the change did seem to buy us a decent time inside.
A stern notice insisted that swimming was not allowed. A pity – especially as there were Roman (Tiberian?) remains which suggested that that was exactly what had happened in antiquity. Another example of the Romans' exquisite good taste when it comes to water features.
What, you are now asking, was I doing indulging in these touristic activities, when I was supposed to have my nose to the grindstone at Pompeii? Well the second reason for my going to Naples was to look a bit more closely at nineteenth-century travel to the region. Two of the Victorian highspots here were the Grotto and the crater (yes, vulcanologists one and all, I know it was a different shape then!). So all this counted as work!

Coldwater Classic Day 2 Wrap Up
By Matt Skenazy
Tom Curren sat on a log by himself. Black wetsuit, black singlet. The dark knight. He walked out to the point, got in the water and sat. For 21 minutes. With four minutes left in his heat, he hadn't caught a wave. But Tom's not that old. He only needed a 5.1.
A little walled-up wave banked against the cliff at the slot and he was on it. A 3.something—not enough. The 1990 Coldwater Classic champion paddled back out, needing another wave. He wasn't in position for another wave. He shouldn't have caught another wave. But one sprung up where there hadn't been waves all morning and he carved it like it was the 1990's, dare I say Curren-esque, and got the score he needed to move on. Barely.
"I knew I didn't need much," Curren said. "It was a low scoring heat, and I was just hopeful for a set."
Curren hasn't surfed in a contest in around a year, but his daughter is in town, and he figured he'd call Ratboy and give it a shot. He got the green light at the last minute.
Other highlights:
· Kieran Horn is pulling double duty, surfing like a man possessed and running the O'Neill booth by the stairs. Work, work, work. Fighting the close-knit pack against the cliff, he sliced his way to first in his heat.
"High tide at the Lane is always a challenge," Horn said, "It's a battle at the slot, but if you know where to sit, you can get some good ones."
Horn is the lone local left in the event.
· Adriano de Souza is ranked third in the world. On paper the best surfer in the contest. But that's paper, and the crowd wanted proof despite his recent win in Spain. His first wave came, and we all held our breath. Prove it, we said. The first turn he cracked off the top was the best one yet of the competition. A power gauge layback-thing usually only seen in free surfs and surf videos. A 7.1 for essentially one turn. Okay, point taken.
· Last Year's Coldwater Classic Champion Nat Young was knocked out of his first heat of the competition by Granger Larsen and some last minute heroics (there's a theme developing here) by Nathaniel Curran.
· Cory Lopez advanced on a wave in the final ten seconds of his heat (told you).
· And 'CT stalwart Timmy Reyes posted one of the highest heat totals of the day with a 17.83 out of 20.
There were rumors of a 100-foot Saturday floating around the contest area. Who knows, maybe we'll see guns and ski-assists, the Nor Cal answer to this summer's U.S. Open. Stay tuned to www.surfingmagazine.com or follow it live tomorrow morning on the O'Neill webcast.

Note to other Real-Self readers: a con of this surgery is that it is very major surgery. This was the longest recovery from any procedure I've ever had including childbirth and other plastic surgery. It took me four months to fully recover from the liposuction and recovery from the muscle tightening is one year. I am still working on the large and painful scar above my pubic region which will either be removed by being cut out or get broken up by a cortisone shot. (You have to wait six months to do either of these interventions.) Have already tried massage and ultrasound to break up the major scar tissue. I also got a secondary infection that would not go away from taking the antibiotics because I did not take a probiotic (forgot).

I also got a secondary infection that would not go away from taking the antibiotics because I did not take a probiotic (forgot).
Not What I Was Expecting; Several Complications; Seeking Revisions (update
Saw the PS that I had used for the BR today. The good news first: he should be able to do something with my uncomfortable area just above my pubic region and the weird flap of skin on my left hip, which I was told by the other surgeon is my fat that "needs more liposuction" is a dog ear and he should be able to take care of it. The bad news: my new (old PS) wants to wait another six months for more healing to occur before he is willing to talk about doing the dog ear or the fat necrosis above my pubic region. A second bit of (very) bad news also: as I had suspected, there really is nothing much he can do about lowering the really high TT scar. He is unwilling to try. He has stated that the scars should heal well and not be as visible, but I know you will always be able to see them if they're not hidden by clothes, which they aren't unless I'm wearing full coverage granny panties (EW!). Further, I'm in my mid-forties so I was looking forward to this operation so that I could wear (and look good in) some sexy panties before I hit menopause and my waist widens again. Looks like I will have to content myself with buying hi-cut lacy briefs
11 Month Update (New Pictures
Scar is still way too high. Have appt. next month to have something done about dog ears on each side. Have not changed since last posted, unfortunately.
Drain scar looks better but still need to treat everyday. This is one of the "extra scars" I got from this surgery along with an odd one that looks like my drain mark on my left where it looks like the doc made a cut, then changed her mind. (Isn't that what the surgical markings are for?)
The scar tissue from the fat necrosis is down a lot now from constant massage. Sex is fine now, but there is still a very nasty bruise right above my pubic hair that I'm not at all pleased to have.
Maintenance everyday on the surgery is scar treatment two times a day and daily massage of scar tissue. Scars have not faded near what I'd want them to considering how high they are, so no chance of wearing bikini bottoms to the beach anytime soon ;(.
Went Today for My TT Revision Consult - Tummy Tuck (Lutherville)
I was very disappointed in this experience. Specifically I was extremely upset with how the surgery itself was run, the technical work that was done, the after-care, the difficulty getting questions answered and the doctor's bedside manner. The surgery itself seemed fairly rushed to me. My husband and I arrived on time, despite a 45 minute commute and snow; however I had to wait two hours prior to the start of surgery. During most of this time I was disrobed (as requested by the staff) without a blanket until the very end. Apparently the staff had forgotten to request an anesthesiologist and they were booking one as we waited. After a very long wait, Dr. S. came in and made her surgical markings in about five minutes. We were rushed into surgery and rushed out by the staff. I was asked to get up before all of the anesthesia had worn off and I couldn't wake up; my body was too heavy. I was then rushed into my clothes by a nurse who absolutely refused to allow me to wear my underwear (kind of important when you're bleeding from your abdomen afterwards!). She also rushed us to the car and refused to help me into the back seat where we felt I could ride more comfortably for the long drive home, which we had explained to Dr. S. we had concerns about. The nurse also forced me to take a medication that I didn't want to take because it interacted badly with another prescription. I had told Dr. S. and she gave us another prescription when we arrived that day. The nurse, who apparently had not spoken to Dr. S., bullied me into taking it. Another area of concern I had was the technical specifics. Dr. S. rates herself as extremely competent and takes the technical book she wrote to all of her consults and shows pictures from it. Unfortunately, I did not have the sense that technically this was a great job. As previously mentioned Dr. S. made her surgical markings very quickly in about five minutes. Because I was so stressed about the long wait before she came in, I forgot to talk to her and show her how low I wanted the scars with my panties prior to her making her surgical markings on my skin. She did the drawing and then I showed her my panties. She looked at my panties and said she could redo the drawing if need be but actually it looked perfect and many of her TT patients wear thongs afterwards. I was horrified when I first saw my tummy. The scar is uneven and very high. On my left side it's only an inch below my BB; on the right it meets the bottom of my BB. This had very unfortunate consequences in my healing. The staff, used to the markings being correct, places each drain an inch or two under the incision so my drains were also an inch off (one an inch higher than the other). This caused horrible discomfort for me as when I wore the binder the drain on my right side rubbed heavy on the binder and epifoam causing a lot of pain. I also noticed several track marks from the lipo which I mentioned to Dr. Shermak who said she would revise if need be but it wouldn't need it. I have what looks like a dog ear on my left side which she won't revise. (She claims this is fat that needs liposuction at my cost.) My belly button, which is a little on the large side to be natural, has a very obvious scar on the outside and there appears to have been some major bruising. No way I'm baring my navel anytime soon aside from the huge scars I would have to show to wear a bikini. There is weird dimpling in my ribs making them look unnatural. Also the skin on my right hip is actually set back farther than that on my left. (The scar on that side goes several inches past the hip where it stops pretty close to the hip on the left side.) I also have an extra incision mark (scar) above where the incision is on my left side. It appears she started making a cut and then realized she was actually over where her markings were. In addition, I feel that Dr. Shermak performed tummy liposuction without my consent that was unnecessary if she had removed enough skin with the tummy tuck procedure. She claims the very hard skin above my pubic area is from lipo in the hip area but all of my symptoms (dark purple pubic region labia after surgery, the hard skin in that area (a fat necrosis) and the discolored skin I have in my crotch area and heavy trauma to the skin itself, point to tummy liposuction. This has caused a lot of pain and discomfort which I'm still having today at six months from the surgery. I was quite upset about this because in the consult I refused Dr. S.'s offer of removing my back bra fat with lipo, and I stated that I don't believe in liposuction but if it is necessary for a good result, do as little as possible. In conclusion, this is not the work I would have expected from an experienced plastic surgeon who performs a lot of these surgeries and has written a book on plastic surgery. The after-care is awful. The care instructions were incomplete (did not include any instructions on bandaging). I had to ask multiple questions about routine things that should have been in the care instructions. During consults, Dr. S. did the re-bandaging of my TT scar very quickly without sticky medical tape, so it fell off immediately and had to be redone. (Bandaging was a very time-consuming process and diffcult process in the first couple of weeks.) One particularly egregious example of the after care was obtaining the Step 2 garment. This was a huge chore. Dr. S. gave vague specifications for a garment on little notice. (She sent an email on Sunday when I needed the garment for Wednesday of the same week. I called her staff, Ann, who is supposed to be available for questions like this, to ask for more specifics. Ann referred me back to Dr. S. I spent a lot of wasted time shopping locally that week for a needle in a haystack. When I came in with something that I thought met the criteria she introduced another criteria, no elastic at the waist, which eliminates most girdles you would use and no crotch hook closures. She did not either of the two garments I brought in, though I didn't have all the information. She visibly lost patience with me and gave me a brochure for a very specific product that I could only order on the Internet. It is a specialty item and is not sold locally. I spent more time that week shopping and bought a shaper by a brand she had recommended (Wacoal) since the other had not come in yet and I wish to stop wearing the binder which was causing much irritation to my tummy lipo area. The Wacoal did not work and had to be taken back. In total, I bought four garments that all had to be taken back and wasted a huge amount of time. A second particular egregious episode of after care came when I was worried about a seroma. I had some symptoms of what they had mentioned on the web which was considered serious. Both the internet and the written care instructions said to contact immediately if any symptoms of seroma were present. This was between my appointments, so I called. Dr. S. was not on-call, so I got her partner, Dr. Basner, who was very short with me, didn't answer any of my questions, reprimanded me twice for calling saying, "This is not an emergency." He said he'd tell Dr. S. I called and hung up. I felt I was treated very unprofessionally the one time I called for what I viewed an emergency. The whole rest of the time I took pictures and emailed Dr. Shermak if I had concerns between visits. I also found in the after care that, though Dr. Shermak responds quickly to her emails, she often does not really answer your question. Many replies were short and evasive. I also got the evasive response, "We can talk about that when you come in." When responding to my question of whether my scars could be moved down because they were so high (in my research on RS, occasionally they can if there is loose skin), she told me not to worry about them and said they would fade to white in 10 months. I guess this was a positive spin she was trying to put forward on a "no, I cannot move them down," but she did not directly answer my question. I had many other experiences like this. Sometimes I got incorrect information as when I was told around three months that the liposuction should have healed and I didn't have to worry about elastic bands on pants or underwear. I had problems after she said I was OK and had to put on the epifoam and binder again to correct the deformation the elastic caused to the contour. As far as her bedside manner, Dr. S. was often short with me and really lit into me on several occasions causing me some anxiety over my visits. I did not find her sympathetic when I told her about suffering or discomfort; instead she tended to criticize me.

text: Rihanna has a spread in December's GQ where she apparently talks about some of the really poor decisions she's been making lately. For instance, putting that ridiculous tattoo across the underside of her tits. I'm all for Ancient Egyptian art, but not when it defaces a pair of lovely tits like Rihanna's. Such a shame. These pics are only a preview for the spread that accompanies her article, so no telling what she speaks about. I'll bet talk of her former beau, asshole extraordinaire Chris Brown, is kept to a minimum. Also the fact that she's hanging around with him again, possibly even dating him - the same guy that beat the shit out of her a few years back. Hey, I've been guilty of double-dipping on the ex's a few times. It's an appealing thing. None of that "getting-to-know-you" shit. You know how to read them and you know what they like and don't like. Of course, you also know that they are capable either of leaving you or pissing you off enough to make you leave, which makes it a doomed prospect more often than not. In Rihanna's case, you also know (or should know) that they're capable of breaking your face open on a whim, which would seem to put a wrinkle or two in the whole second chance scenario. Wisdom and carefully weighed choices don't seem to be Rihanna's thing though. Good luck to her anyway. I hope she keeps her health insurance paid up.

Healing Horses, Helping Sandy Hook Victims
LAKE CITY - We could say these little therapy horses with big hearts from North Central Florida initiated the healing process for the Sandy Hook victims in Connecticut. The non-proft of mini horses saw thousands of family and friends of victims. As well as first responders. The community welcomed the mini horses with open arms and showed their gratitude in numerous ways.
The original plan was to go to Connecticut and come back in a week.However, Jorge Garcia-Bengochea the Executive Director of "Gentle Carousel Miniature Therapy Horses" says the trip was extended after Newtown asked them to stay a second week in order to help more families. "People were very patient and wanted to meet with the horses. We saw that their disposition when they were meeting with the horses, they were laughing... The children were laughing, the adults were laughing, taking pictures. The children were hopping and skipping as they left," Garcia-Bengochea says.
Both, Governor Dannel Malloy of Connecticut and Florida Governor Rick Scott sent letters to the non-profit thanking them for their work.
Garcia-Bengochea says, "One event that we did attend was at the Newtown Booth Library, we were told that there would probably be 3-4 chidlren coming out to attend... There were 600 who came out to visit with our horses that afternoon."
Catherine Hubbard was one of the children lost in the Sandy Hook Elemenrary tragedy. With her parents blessing, one of the charity's foals was named Catherine in memory of their six year old animal lover and equestrian."Catherine has red-hair and our Catherine also has red hair, a really sweet horse. Catherine enjoyed animals and she was also an equestrian... She was a horse back rider, a jumper... Very accomplished rider at 6 years old," Garcia-Bengochea says.
After the minis gave so much in Newtown. Here at home the oaks in Lake City will be giving to beck them by providing them with training and housing.
Garcia-Bengochea says he feels like the mini horses made a difference because of their connection with people. He adds, "People told stories, about what they were feeling... About what they had been through. They were talking to the horses, they were talking to us as trainers and volunteers. You could tell that people... Really it made a difference that the horses were there."
Well and that's not all for these tiny horses. Newtown has asked Gentle Carousel to come back. They are planning to return in April and stop at childrens and veterans hospitals along the way. If you'd like to help make that trip happen check out their website.

Patriots blitz gives Dolphins fits
Pressure leads to big 2nd half
FOXBORO — The Patriots' seismic defensive shift Sunday had one common thread: blitzing Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill much more effectively in the second half than they did before the break.
The Pats' pressures were so impactful that Tannehill even struggled against simple four-man rushes, as one element carried into the other. Of course, the ability to disguise the scheme and mix in some new elements must have had the quarterback's head buzzing during the Patriots' 24-point turnaround in a 27-17 win.

IUP VOLLEYBALL: Sova named All-Conference
Elizabeth Sova, a junior on the IUP women's volleyball team, became the first IUP player since 2006 to earn a selection to the All-PSAC West first team.
The Crimson Hawks have had eight second-team selections since 2006, when Brittany Gates was the last IUP player to earn a first-team honor.
A middle blocker, Sova earned her first postseason award after leading the team in several offensive categories including kills (324), kills per set (2.75) and hitting percentage (.316).
She notched double-digit kills 16 times during the season, including a career-high 25 against Notre Dame (Ohio). Sova finished the season averaging 12.3 kills per match and 3.5 kills per set in the last four matches.
Sova was also one of IUP's top defensive players, leading the team with 98.0 total blocks and 0.83 blocks per set.
Playing in 33 of IUP's 34 matches, she finished the season with a team-high 398 points scored.
Sova has run her career marks to 626 kills and 232 total blocks, which rank 14th and ninth all-time, respectively, in IUP history.
