What men are thinking about women and beauty has some comments that may surprise you. Read what qualities a man is first attracted to and what men really think makes a woman beautiful provided some very surprising answers!
Throughout history the poets, the philosophers, the writers and the artists have been talking about beauty and its meaning. Some men had definite opinions that dispel many of the myths set down by those predecessors.
As a man what do you look for? Is it her looks, body structure, her movement, her virtues etc? Which is a woman's real beauty? Read the posts and submissions below and see if your thought's on what makes a woman beautiful match any of these.
No doubt some people are just acting out a script and saying what people want to hear except for just a few. Good for them. My mama tells us something sometimes, jokingly though; "none of you should marry an ugly man/woman oooo coz I didn't give birth to ugly children"
I'm not going to base my opinion on that even though that is part of my resolve on this issue. If you're wowo (ugly), I can't be attracted to you. I'm of the opinion that beauty is not totally a function of looks but it plays an important role.
Anywhere I go with my woman, I want to be able to raise my shoulders high enough to introduce her as mine. That is my candid opinion. And you know what? God says, "Ask and you shall receive" That is what I've asked Him.
You know something I always believe when it comes to the issue of beauty and character? Those who believe they are not beautiful or probably have been told so by a couple of people would never accept that facial beauty is important. You know what that means, I call it- some form of consolation.
This is one of the best post by far, but we are messing it up by perambulation around the terms beauty is first of all what you see appearance as in Halle Berry, Liz Benson, Omotola Jalade, Marion Jones and their likes. secondary beauty is where things like virtue, family connections, status come into play.
So if I have to pick and use beauty as a yard stick i would pick Anita Baker to have a beautiful voice while Marion Jones for a beautiful face, Mother Teresa for a beautiful mind, I hope you get my drift. as for me beauty is appearance comes first I will toast Beyonce first before considering Whoppi Goldberg.
So all those who say that beauty will fade away. should also remember that strength will also fade away with time but the memory of my lady's beauty will always be with me.
No woman is repulsive. It basically depends on what you're looking for in a woman. Some just start as friends and it develops into full-blown-date (because of her character). Guys don't only make friends with pretty girls mind you.
I haven't said any woman is repulsive and I would never say a thing like that. All women are beautiful in their own way but there's something you all are not getting from my point. I just wish you could figure it out.
Every creature God created is beautiful and good but you see some people don't know this, hence they believe they aren't good enough. I believe something someone once said, "No one can say you're ugly without your permission". Unfortunately, so many are filled with inferiority complex, hence they accept that even though they don't say it.
Well I think beauty is whatever u take it to be.If count it from the facial aspect fine.it is beauty you take it from the body shape great it is beauty too BUT WHICH IS MOST IMPORTANT? I think its the heart, character, soul,the inner mind a beautiful girl in mind should know how to dress well SO beauty they say is in the eyes of the beholder if u see a girl u feel u like she's OK facially, shape and has a good character
Real beauty is not just facial beauty only,beauty comes with lot of things like character 1) How does she react when provoked 2) How does she relate to others 3) How does she walk 4) They way she talk 5) Good shape 6) Her reasoning 7) Intelligent 8) Respectful
Beauty from inside is the most important. Inside beauty matters the most. But looks also matters plz. beauty
Sincerely I'll want her to be beautiful in and out but i prefer in-wards because i believe a gentle/nice chimpanzee is far better than a wicked/fierce angel. real beauty is her heart and how evil she could be THE REAL BEAUTY IN A WOMAN IS HER HIGH STANDARD OF INTELLIGENCE AND POLICY!
Beauty they say is in the eyes of the beholder. I wonder what makes a lady beautiful ? but frankly speaking I will prefer the state of her mind and her behavior at home and outside this is my idea of a beautiful lady. What do you think?
Her touches, her looks, her kisses and how she acts in public while being with you.
Only good character can make a lady beautiful.
I've been with my girlfriend over 3 years now and I can say there is no one in the world I would rather be with. I think the main thing that I love about her is how caring she is. She's a natural mother figure (although we don't want kids), and weirdly (I think this is a Freudian thing) I look for that in a woman.
I like her because she's strong, dominant and doesn't let men trample over her, which I really admire in a woman. I like the way we'll be watching Big Brother highlights and she'll point out just how spineless and pathetic some of the "girls" are in the house. Physically, I find bigger, fuller figured women attractive (some people would call them "fat" but I think this term is thrown around too loosely for any woman larger than a size 2!!!).
It really disturbs me just how much mainstream magazines are portraying the thin (and I mean stick-model thin) figure as "beautiful" and something to aspire to. She's my goddess

I have come to the conclusion, having admired a great many women, that almost any woman can be truly beautiful, if she wants.
It doesn't come down to age, Sharon Stone, Rene Russo and Madonna all prove that. It doesn't come down to looks, hardly any supermodels look similar, just think of Sophie Dahl. It doesn't come down to hair color either. Yet, any woman who makes effort with hair, makeup and clothes can look stunning. I'm convinced of that.
As for me, what I look for comes from inside. I have been lucky enough to date some truly amazing women from a number of different countries and ethnicities. They are well educated, well traveled, multi-lingual, hard working expatriates with flair and drive. Amazing creatures. In truth, I am generally not even vaguely worthy of them - they were and are amazing. That comes from within.
Stuart - England
I think you're arguing internal beauty versus external, and one thing to understand is that the male mind separates the two. It's how porn exists and why strip clubs exist. Physical and mental can be separate. We also don't romanticize emotional attraction as "beauty." If a woman is a great person, we'll say it, but it really doesn't make her beautiful.
It makes her great, though. Now, that being said, beauty is, physically: - Being in good shape (healthy body fat percentile) - Good skin (moisturized, blemish-free) - Healthy hair (well kept, conditioned and cut) - Dressing well (current styles, well-kept clothes, etc) - Good hygiene (nails, perfume, etc) - Good eyebrows (nothing furry, manly or overdone so they're nonexistent) - Well-done makeup (complementary, not too much or too little) IMO, 90% of women (or more) can look VERY beautiful to men, provided they give some good effort.
I was just recently describing these very attributes in response to a similar question moments ago. I'll do it again in the context of this one particular lady who is currently scrambling my senses: she has the most sincere and engaging smile; that was the initial attraction.
As I've gotten to know her, however, her beauty has opened slowly to me like a blossoming flower, keeping me rapt but ever hungry for more. That mysterious element definitely works to her advantage, because I'm a captive audience.
Picture this: she's got this youthful, doe like innocence but also a confident grace...frankly it just drives me crazy (thank you for letting me get that off my chest).
She's highly intelligent, compassionate and optimistic; extremely pretty yet with an approachable air about herself. All of these things in concert make her beautiful to me. You have my permission to tell the world, if I don't beat you to it.
There are as many different answers to that as there are men on the planet. It's called personal preference!
What do I consider as beauty in a woman? Here are my first thoughts: When the presence of a woman brings peace, tranquility, and love - not stress.
When a woman is strong enough to make decisions that make a difference and take full responsibility for her actions, instead of hiding in the shadow of the men in her life. When a woman does not habitually tell lies. You'll be surprised how rare this is.
It is rare to find women who do not tell lies. But very common to find ladies telling lies - fact. What is the real beauty in a woman, firstly it isn't her looks, because that fades It's not her body structure because that changes.
It's something within, something in the way she smiles, the way she looks at you, the way she sleeps, the way she calls your name, they way her head always seems to find that crook in your neck, they way she makes you feel like you have someone to lean on, someone to who has your back, someone you can rely on, someone you can trust.
A girl that is independent yet she seems to depend on you (sounds like a contradiction i know) It's when just the thought of her brings a smile to your face, when you find yourself lying awake at night just to watch her sleeping. when you find out that you pray for her before yourself...... wait a minute that's love.... hmm but i guess it's a girls inner beauty that makes a guy fall in love with her so they kind of go together. hope i'm making sense.
Truth is: good looks "attracts" but only good character "keeps"... A lady with a nice heart is the most beautiful to me.. damn looks. Its only skin deep.
I agree totally, good looks "attracts" but only good character "keeps". But u know that d end justifies d means,so to me good character is the real beauty in women.

Guess who's posting when he should be doing homework? I am who is. Why? Hey, great question. Because sharing half-formed thoughts with the bunch of miserable wrecks who follow this site is more important than my future. Actually, the Church teaches that the most important moments in a Christian's life are the present and his time of death. So maybe I'm on to something.
Anyhow, number one. (I'm in a numbering mood. If I met you on the street I'd rate you out of ten.)We Christians have a major problem with naming things. At some point, some Christians – probably a reading circle of five elderly Baptists who'd just finished Twilight – found words or phrases to describe certain spiritual experiences, certain holy moments in their lives. Now, for no good reason besides a lack of originality, these phrases are what EVERYONE calls those experiences. We've developed what's known as a Christian vocabulary, containing some of the following gems, all sounding like the titles of a Televangelist's second or third self-help book: "Letting God into your heart", "opening yourself up to Jesus", "accepting Christ as your personal Lord and Savior", "emptying your heart" etc.
|Which ends up looking
like this, but does not include
the insane level of
happiness this creature
is experiencing. Seriously,
someone exorcise this baby, he
is far too content.
First of all, these phrases don't work for everyone. They aren't concrete descriptions like "being forgiven" or "receiving the sacrament of Confirmation." Or how about "receiving a plenary indulgence on the Feast of the Assumption of Our Lady by attending Holy Mass and going to Reconciliation within one week of the Feast having the effect of the total remission of temporal punishment in the fires of Purgatory" for that matter. That stuff I get. No, these are metaphorical statements. And for me, it drove me crazy when people would tell me things like "open your heart." Open my heart? Uh, OK? I will, in some abstract way detach any meaning of the word heart from that organ that thuds away in my chest, and, having done this, I will proceed to "open" this abstract entity that tends to constitute some conglomerate of my feelings, my soul, my thoughts, none of which are things that can be "opened" in any imaginable sense of the word, and I will know I have done this when…when…Oh, bloody hell, it's hopeless. I just end up screwing up my face and breathing deeply, trying to achieve the whole business.
That's not to say that the phrase doesn't mean something great and powerful to someone out there; it just doesn't work for me. And that's fine. First, because when describing things that are by definition beyond description, not all words are bound to work. And second, because God loves us individually, and He expresses his Love individually, and we respond individually. Perhaps we should be allowed to articulate individually. So for me, this "open-heart" concept really translates into "humble thyself". And for others it might translate into "bare your soul." The point is not that any single phrase is correct. The thing is indescribable – none of them are. The point is to allow yourself and the Church to define your faith. Not the general vocabulary of whatever American Christian culture has to offer. If I wanted you to take anything from this, it's to not be discouraged if you feel like you aren't "letting go and letting God." God has no idea what that means.
That's all.
Here, listen to the first for minutes of this. The pictures are stupid, but Colbert – priceless.

By U.S. ArmyJuly 30, 2014
FORT HOOD, Texas -- In the words of Vince Lombardi, the legendary Green Bay Packers coach, "Leaders are made. They are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile."
Amid twin missions as the NATO Response Force and European Response Force, Col. John DiGiambattista, commander, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, is putting in the hard effort to help develop his unit's leaders.
He said developing leaders is vital to accomplishing the missions of the unit.
In July, DiGiambattista instituted weekly team-building physical training and officer professional development sessions to ensure that company, battalion and brigade leaders are working together and aware of the latest brigade and division guidance and priorities.
Most of the command teams in the "Ironhorse" brigade have recently switched out, with 31 of the 39 companies, and four of the seven battalions, under new leadership.
"With the turnover in leadership, and the missions in Europe, these professional development and team-building events are critical to our success," said DiGiambattista. "And we will be spread out - our battalions must function decentralized. That is why it is important to understand the latest guidance and make sure we are all on the same page."
DiGiambattista met with majors from the battalions July 18 for a 3.5-mile ruck march, followed by an hour-and-a-half officer professional development session.
The Ironhorse commander emphasized the many roles the majors play within their battalions, as operators, systems operators, trainers and leaders.
"There are typically seven captains in a battalion," said DiGiambattista. "Who do they have for mentorship and guidance -- the two majors in a battalion."
During the professional development session, DiGiambattista and participants discussed the BCT environment, and staff standard operating procedures, training and priorities.
Other topics included Sexual Assault Review Boards, Domestic Violence Review Boards, High Risk Review Boards, Financial Liability Investigations of Property Loss, the Unit Status Report, Operations Orders, Army Training Guidance, Regionally Aligned Forces and the importance of being able to operate decentralized.
Those participating in the session said it was useful for several reasons.
"It's a great way to get guidance from the commander," said Maj. Margaret McGunegle, executive officer, 91st Engineer Battalion. "And it is an opportunity to see what my left and right are doing and collaborate on best practices."
Like "sergeant's time training" for enlisted service members, officers regularly participate in professional development, but the types of sessions can vary.
"My previous experience is probably not the norm," said Maj. Joe Venghaus, brigade judge advocate. "I was a government contract litigator at my last assignment in D.C. Our OPD was broader, covering a host of military occupational specialty topics as well as leadership. The Ironhorse OPD is more specifically-focused on officership in a brigade environment."
Maj. David Fitzpatrick, operations officer, 1st Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment, said the opportunity to get guidance face-to-face from the commander and to get to know his peers in the other battalions was very worthwhile for him.
"It brings us together," said Fitzpatrick. "The OPD gives us a clearer understanding of the colonel's guidance. And it gives us a chance to talk and put our minds together."

Alex Massie affirms with too much satisfaction and guile for his statement to be true that Sarah Palin is done:
Palin is tarnished goods at the moment. More than any other would-be candidate in the prospective field she needs to build an inevitability strategy. She lacks the chops to win a policy battle (or even the appearance of one) and needs instead the kind of whirlwind operation that whips up a storm in state after state. That requires massive enthusiasm and persuading people to ignore their suspicion that she cannot win a general election. Unfortunately that also creates a collective action problem for Palin: people might vote for her if they think other people will too. But they don't think other people will and so they won't either.
I have to admit that I don't understand the rationale of Massie's assertions for Sarah Palin never begun. She has always only been the witch that liberals needed to convince themselves that they were good and that Obama was the best s*it !
To the contrary of many, I have never thought that Palin was stupid or that she was an abomination, I thought that she was likable enough as Obama once said arrogantly and with spite of Hillary Clinton, but that the problem was that she was never as good as her defenders thought that she was and more importantly as bad and evil her detractors believed. Palin is a legitimate political figure, but saying that doesn't mean much for she has yet too become real rather than a fantasy in the mind of her friends and her foes.
Is Sarah Palin done ? Of course, she isn't. She just isn't real, that's the problem. Sarah Palin doesn't exist. Elle n'existe pas !

PROLIFIC batsman Matty Clark has left HPH York Vale Cricket League club Hemingbrough for Selby.
Clark, who skippered the village side to the 2010 division one title, is one of the most prolific batsmen in the Vale League's history.
He had a stunning year in 2011 when he became the first Vale player to score a double century, smashing an unbeaten 211 against Clifton Alliance.
He scored four more centuries that summer, falling only ten runs short of joining a select band of Vale players to have made 1,000 runs in a season.
Clark, who also showed his skills with the ball last season by winning the first division bowling prize, is expected to play for one of Selby's sides in the Hunters York & District Senior League, whose clubs rejected an application from Hemingbrough to join their ranks at their last annual general meeting.
Clark's switch sees Matthew Milburn take on the Hemingbrough captaincy, with his first game in charge being a trip to Ovington on Saturday, April 27.
Champions North Cave will begin the defence of their title with a tricky trip to Hirst Courtney while two promoted teams, Askham Bryan and Fulfordgate, travel to Bishopthorpe and Burn respectively.
Another team which came up from division two, Kelfield, complete the opening day's top flight fixtures with a home game against Stockton & Hopgrove.
Relegated Clifton Alliance, back in division two for the first time since 2008, will be looking to get back up at the first attempt under the leadership of new skipper Neil Smith.
They will be looking to get off to a flying start with a home game against York RI, who will be playing their games at the University of York Staff pitch in Heslington Lane rather than New Lane sports ground this season.
This year is the 80th anniversary of the Vale League which was originally formed as the York Saturday League.
A number of events are being planned this summer to mark the milestone, including a three-team competition involving representative sides from the Vale, Senior and Conference Leagues.

This creamy side dish could be the right accompaniment for your next grilled beef, pork or fish -- especially those marinated with Latin flavors.
The original recipe called for 2 cups of heavy cream, but a combination of nonfat half-and-half and light cream works, too.
Servings: 12
- 3 cups uncooked medium-grain rice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch salt
- 1 pound grated Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 to 2 4.5-ounce cans diced green chili peppers, with their juice
- 2 cups heavy cream (may substitute 1 cup nonfat half-and-half and 1 cup light cream)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 3-quart casserole dish (preferably deep).
Cook the rice according to package directions; when the water comes to a boil, add the garlic powder and salt to taste. Spoon about one-quarter of the cooked rice into the casserole, then cover with about one-quarter of the grated cheese. Sprinkle about one-quarter of the chili peppers and their juice over the cheese, then pour 1/2 cup of the heavy cream (or half-and-half/cream mixture) evenly over the layer. Complete 3 more layers. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and starts to brown.

An apology is owed
It has been brought to my attention that I have been somewhat hard on a particular Linux distro and its esteemed project leader. I am told that I have said some mean and unfair things about this distro and its leader, and that I should take some time to rethink my position on said distro and the person in charge.
I have called this person some nasty names, mostly in private but sometimes in public. I have called him out in on these pixelized pages of Larry the Free Software Guy for what I think — or at least now I realize, I mistakenly thought — were ridiculous moves and questionable motives in making his Linux distribution.
It was arrogant, mean and stupid of me to be so unwaveringly rigid on my criticism over all this time, and I realize now that an apology is owed.
So please accept my heartfelt and sincere apology Andrew Wyatt, lead developer and project leader for Fuduntu, for all the things I've written and said about you and your project. Anyone who takes the time to create a Linux distro to push forward the wider FOSS paradigm — in the spirit of community and not with a me-first agenda — deserves much better than the shallow criticism I've heaped on you and Fuduntu in the past.
I'm very sorry.
Allow me to make it up to you by giving the latest version of Fuduntu a test drive for a review on this blog in the next few days.
Also, Andrew, I hope we can work together going forward for the betterment of the FOSS paradigm.
[You didn't really think I was going to apologize to The Mark and the Ubuntu Apocalypse, did you?]

To not understand why any child under school age (ish) is given anything other than milk/water on a regular basis?(268 Posts)
I see it a lot out and about- tiny dots with bottles and beakers full of juice, squash or fizzy drink. I know it's not the worst thing that a young child can be given but I don't understand why it's necessary. I'm an avid squash drinker and happily drink it in front of my charges but they never ask for it. I don't drink tea/coffee so squash keeps me going!
If we were at a party then I don't see a problem with having other things but not on a normal day at home or on a trip out.
It's not even just the teeth element, but the habit it creates (I should know!!) and also the dependency on sugar- there's enough sugar in most foods in a normal diet without the almost saturate of a soft drink.
ted totally agree with you. I too had a non eater and anything I could get down him calorie and sugar wise was good enough for me
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
oops, wrong thread!
This idea that its okay to skip sports day because of work, but not tiredness. Tiredness is part of work. After exertion, everybody needs to be able to rest to start work again. If not, they collapse. You can't just fill up rest time with other activities and not expect it to impact on work pretty quickly.
Water tastes grim, whereas Waitrose Orange High Juice tastes like liquid gold.
Also, I had a food refuser <waves to fellow sufferers> and I would have let him eat a family battenburg washed down with a pint of juice if it meant getting some calories into him.
Crickey, between this thread and the one where I discover that me telling the DCs they are clever has possibly damaged them for life, I am starting to suspect I may need to hand back my Mummy badge.
I suspect OP that the best way to view other people's juice drinking activities is that we are all Doing Our Best.
If you really love him, you'll spend the money.
Mmm, not sure about cocktails, might work out a bit pricey although we've saved a fair bit by persuading DD to switch from Stella to Kestrel Super.
Strangely when DS was in hospital with dehydration the staff didnt care what he drank just that he did, we had every juice going there to try to persuade him!
He has refused all milk since he was 18 months old, he has never liked water. I am not getting into a battle of wills with him over it he has never had pop but does have very dilute squash.
Strangely at 3.5 he has now decided he does like water (when it suits him) so he is starting to drink it now.
Personally I would not do slimline for kids because of the aspartame.
Have you ever offered him a mojito? They're quite natural. Just swap the brown sugar for stevia, that's what we do.
No, haven't tried that. DH says the coke is bad for his teeth -maybe I should switch to gin & tonic? Is slimline better or is it bad because of the Aspartame? It's so hard being a parent.
Have you tried watering it down with club soda, MrBlooms?
DS2 (5) will only drink Malibu and coke. Hasn't done him any harm.
At my primary school water was the only thing on offer. I refused to drink it. As a result I remember coming home most days so dehydrated my mouth was literally stuck together. I think if kids don't like water there is nothing wrong with juice.
I dislike tea and coffee and find water heavy on my stomach and find squash easier and more refreshing to drink. I buy high juice with nothing articifial in it, and have it very weak so the sugar content is fairly low. DS1 wants to drink what I am drinking. I ended up faking raspberry leaf tea with blackcurrant at the end of pregnancy to avoid tantrums!
He will drink water, but in small amounts.
He doesn't drink milk because he's allergic to it.
He doesn't have juice regularly because it gives him the runs.
He only has fizzy drinks when it's too inconvenient to decline them. I water them down if I can. This is only a few times a year.
I'm not concerned about him and sugar. His allergies stop him eating chocolate, cakes and many sweets, so his sugar intake is fairly low. He's not a big fruit fan and favours vegetables. He drinks from an open cup and doesn't constantly graze.
I could cut his squash, but that would leave me drinking only water too, and selfishly that doesn't suit me. Or I could drink in secret.
Is that sufficient justification?
Again, why are you comparing the naturally occurring fruit sugar in dried fruit to the refined sugar added to fake yogurt? I can agree it's probably the same to your teeth (that seems reasonable) but it's absolutely not the same for your body!
Raisins are, as snacks go, a fairly good one (not perfect). They have quite a lot of anti-oxidants. I suppose I am a bit more laid back about teeth because we haven't had problems and I assume they will become gooey and that's why you brush.
But, we digress. I'm possibly hyper-vigilant about squash because, as stated upstream - I have a ridiculous diet coke addiction and it has ruined me for water. I really can't drink water with food, I gulp it down when I am thirsty (I do get 8 glasses a day). I can drink sparkling water with my food, but I overwhelmingly prefer diet coke. Your taste buds will absolutely adapt to sweet drinks and then water just seems wrong. If you are used to soda, like I am (diet coke) - then water feels heavy and wrong.
'Really????? Is this all you have to worry about. Get a life, OP'
Oh good grief, there's always one. Why not start your own thread about something Big and Important instead of wasting time writing pointless sneery comments on other people's threads?
'Who are these people who have the time or inclination to judge other people's parenting?'
Who are these people who have time and inclination to post on MN despite being so very busy and discinclined?! And 'judging' is just using your judgement, something we all do all the time (I hope)
hahahahaha happy..... not rising......
Who are these people who have the time or inclination to judge other people's parenting? Your head won't drop off from drinking squash y'know.
By the way, aspartame is NOT carcinogenic <runs>
most people don't drink squash all day long though - they have a tumbler with breakfast and another after school with a snack - or that is my experience anyhow.
Whereas I watch toddlers snack on those vile little boxes of raisins all day long - and wonder why they need fillings age 5....
"but she never has sweets or fizzy drinks" was one of the favourite sayings at the dentist I used to work at... no, but "healthy" dried fruit, "healthy" cereal bars and sugar loaded toddler yoghurt do just as much damage to teeth and pancreas - the body does not differentiate......
I agree, MadeOfStarDust, but you can't compare raisins to petit filous.
Sugar is sugar. No reason to be pious if your kid eats it instead of drinks it. But, I think you'll find that a lot of people object specifically to drinking it because as the kid becomes an adults, s/he will have adopted a habit of drinking empty calories that the body does not really "register".
Most people who eat a doughnut, for example, feel fairly naughty and their sweet tooth may well be sated for several hours or even the day. Drinking squash all day long will exceed the calories and sugar and that person may not even include it on their mental tally of what they've consumed.
I do feel amused though, when younger - my girls had their squash and you'd see the faces of some
smug mums saying "Oh mine only drinks water, squash is so bad for them" whilst stuffing down a pack of raisins or petit filous! sugar is sugar...
I have tried everything to get my toddler son to try cow's milk, but no way will he drink anything other than water. I can disguise a runny "fake" milk, such as hemp or rice, in a smoothie, but I suspect a lot of people give their kids squash because, like my milk-refuser, they have water-refusers on their hands.
Really????? Is this all you have to worry about. Get a life, OP.
It's quite possible to not give your kids squash AND not be smug.
Kids tend to pick up their bad habits from their parents. If you don't drink squash, chances are your kids won't drink squash.
Squash may not be a Bad Habit, but there is no doubt that turning to water when thirsty is a good habit.
My Bad Habit is diet coke. It was clear to me from the outset that I would never allow my kids to have this so it's been easy. If my kids as toddlers had refused water, I would have probably assumed that they were sufficiently hydrated and didn't need it.
DSD was given sugary drinks from a young age and so developed a taste for them and prefers sugary drinks. DSD had 9 teeth taken out under anaesthetise aged 6.
With DD I was walking down the isle in Tesco's looking at the juice they were marketing for babies and just thought why the hell do babies need juice of any type and that historically juice was never until v recently given to babies or children.
I gave DD milk and water. Now she wont have juice under any circumstances. People look confused when she refuses and try to push it on her lol.
Last check up unlike DSD the dentist said her teeth were perfect.
She's nearly 6 btw.
Also the empty calories in juice really arnt good and are contributing to obesity epidemic. Watch this..

Inactivation of the tumor suppressor gene encoding the transcriptional regulator Ikaros (IKZF1) is a hallmark of BCR-ABL1+ precursor B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (pre–B ALL). However, the mechanisms by which Ikaros functions as a tumor suppressor in pre–B ALL remain poorly understood. Here, we analyzed a mouse model of BCR-ABL1+ pre–B ALL together with a new model of inducible expression of wild-type Ikaros in IKZF1 mutant human BCR-ABL1+ pre–B ALL. We performed integrated genome-wide chromatin and expression analyses and identified Ikaros target genes in mouse and human BCR-ABL1+ pre–B ALL, revealing novel conserved gene pathways associated with Ikaros tumor suppressor function. Notably, genetic depletion of different Ikaros targets, including CTNND1 and the early hematopoietic cell surface marker CD34, resulted in reduced leukemic growth. Our results suggest that Ikaros mediates tumor suppressor function by enforcing proper developmental stage–specific expression of multiple genes through chromatin compaction at its target genes.

|You are in: Programmes: World at One: Programme highlights
Tuesday, 27 March, 2001, 13:51 GMT 14:51 UK
Slow off the mark?
Illegal activity of some kind was responsible for the foot and mouth outbreak - so says Downing Street.
Its expected that Nick Brown, the Agriculture Minister, will underline that diagnosis when he unveils the first emergency measures to prevent the next outbreak.
Those measures will give a clear indication that the Government believes the farming community has itself to blame for the current crisis.
The World at One has identified a number of crucial questions about the way the government may have contributed to the scale of the problem.
In particular, by allowing animal movements to continue for nearly three days after the first outbreak was confirmed. And by ignoring EU advice which might have led to a programme of vaccination at a far earlier stage.
Apparent failure
Animal welfare campaigners, the RSPCA and Northumberland County Council had all been aware for some time that conditions at the farm were far from ideal. Yet no action was taken.
Northumberland County council told us that they had visited the farm on a number of occasions they but couldn't comment further as the matter was under criminal investigation.
At odds
The next puzzling factor is vaccination - or the lack of it. From the moment the outbreak began, the Government decried the idea of vaccination on two main grounds: first, that it would gravely damage our disease-free status - and thus our exports. And secondly, that it's impossible to distinguish between a sick animal and one that's been vaccinated.
However both assertions seem to be at odds with a document published by European Union scientific experts two years ago.
'Can't win the battle'
Investigations by this programme show that, under EU guideline's, Britain's outbreak appears to qualify for such a strategy on almost every count.
Dr Simon Barteling of the Dutch Central Veterinary Institute told us "For me it was clear that about four weeks ago the criteria for starting ring vaccination (in the United Kingdom) was met. Otherwise you are always behind - you can't win the battle."

Madlib has never been one to respect convention. This much we know. After witnessing the epic undertaking of his "album per month" Medicine Show series, we were once again reminded. But back in 2008, he created one of his more respected forms of alleged musical sacrilege. In need of some headphone listening before a ten-hour plane ride to Tokyo, Madlib reworked his classic DOOM collaborative effort Madvillainy in its entirety. Previously available only with Stones Throw's release of "Madvillainy 2: THE BOX" and a small lot of sought after white label pressings, Madvillainy 2: The Madlib Remixes is now being reissued properly on wax. Packaged in a full color jacket of the original CD artwork, the release includes Madlib's remixes on two pieces of vinyl, comic book insert, and a digital download of the entire album.

I am concerned that the city is not regulating enough public parking in these complexes. I am not talking about guest parking, which is required but public parking. The streets are already filled up with people parking on this side of Central Expy, so that they can have free parking instead of using the paid parking in the city lots across the way.
The traffic on Moffett is already terrible. Closing the ramp is going to increase traffic. What is city council thinking?

Reviews for Banana Chip Muffins
Average Rating
"They were good but not my favorite banana muffins. They were more of a bread texture, a bit on the chewy side. I guess we prefer a moist banana muffin or bread mixture. It must be the oatmeal, but there is an oatmeal banana cookie recipe that is wonderful - so definitely a combination of other ingredients that give it the wrong texture for our taste."
"The black squiggly things in the muffins are the banana's seeds. (Bananas are botanically a berry.)I made these with blackberries instead of the chocolate chips and used just one banana (that's all I had) and added a bit of juice from canned sweet potatoes. They turned out good, but aren't my best muffin."
"I made these and there are black squiggly hair like things in them... Anyone now why?"
"Pretty good, but didn't wow me. I did a few changes. I used 4 bananas, a heaping 1/2 cup of oats, regular sized chocolate chips, and made it a loaf instead of muffins. I baked it for 45 mins and it needed more, so it cooked for about 15 mins longer. I think I should've cooked it for 10 mins longer instead of 15. Definitely a hearty bread with the oats in it. I'll prolly make again though."
"Amazing texture!! Very moist!! Adding these to my Christmas gift baskets for friends, family, and the neighbors!!"
"The oats in this recipe give it more texture than typical muffins. Love the crunch of the top with the moist chocolately inside!"
"Have been making this recipe over 10 years. It's a favorite of my now-grown kids"
"Fantastic!!!! easy and Delicious the best combination!"
"This recipe was quick to put together and it tastes delicious!! I was worried the oatmeal would make the muffin grainy, but I wouldn't have noticed the oatmeal if I hadn't seen the recipe. Delicious! Thanks for sharing! :)"
"These are moist and delicious! The recipe made 10 jumbo muffins for me (baked about 25 minutes). I didn't have any chocolate chips, so I crumbled two Peanut Butter Moon Pies in their packaging, then dumped them in - so the muffins had chocolate and a little bit of peanut butter flavoring! Yum - thanks for the recipe :) My favorite breakfast is one jumbo muffin, one link sausage, and one hot cup of coffee!"
"these muffins are so easy and they taste great! They have the perfect moist but crumbly texture. This is a new favorite with the family (and there are 8 of us)!"
"I am not an experienced baker and this reciepe was great! They turned out fabulous and you don't dirty too many dishes! I highly reccomend it!"
"I followed this recipe exactly and they were the best muffins I've ever made! My kids loved them too. They did not last long and I will be making them again today!"
"Very good!!! Best of all, super easy!"
"I've made these muffins for several years now and love them! They're easy, dirty very few dishes and disapper fast!"

why are "projects" like this allowed on this site, while they are "disguised" as open-source they are just "trial" versions of the software and not "open-source".

Henrik Ohlsson
Henrik Ohlsson was born in Sweden in 1981. He received the M.Sc. degree in Applied Physics and Electrical Engineering in October 2006 and his Ph.D. degree in Automatic Control in November 2010, all from Linköping University, Sweden. He has held visiting positions at the University of Cambridge (UK) and at the University of Massachusetts (USA). Henrik is currently an Assistant Professor at Linköping University and a visiting professor at University of California, Berkeley. He is supported by a grant from the Sweden-America foundation and a grant from the Swedish Research Council (VR).
See my publication list at Liu.
Henrik's research is in the area of system identification, machine learning and compressive sensing. Henrik is involved in a number of research projects, some which are described below.
Nonlinear Compressive Sensing
While compressive sensing has been one of the most vibrant research fields in the past few years, most development only applies to linear models. This limits its application and excludes many areas where compressive sensing could make a difference. One such area is phase retrieval. In this research project we aim to extend compressive sensing to the nonlinear phase retrieval problem.
In many applications it is costly or impossible to measure the sources one-by-one and all that is available is some aggregated measurements of their contributions. Disaggregation is the task of separating a signal into its sources. It is a fairly new area and with applications in fields such as chemistry, biology, etc.
Hybrid System Identification
Hybrid system identification is an area within system identification which deals with the identification of models of hybrid systems. Hybrid system identification is an extremely complex task and as today most research has been dealing with the most basic type of hybrid model -- the piecewise affine model.

Taric is the most OP champion, he's like a walking fountain!
He drastically changes the outcome by healing up everyone while keeping Clarity as a reserve, it's almost scary how he's able to enhance the ganking potential of another champion. You have to remember that League of Legends is a teamplaying game, and with a decent team there is almost nothing stopping him. However, he's not too good in teamfights with everything happening at once. He specialises in ganking, rescue attemps, recovery, and help backdorring -> turret tank. Unlike Soraka he's a bit more tanky, he doesn't really do the DPS, he is the support! If you kill him first then the your team will have a full penalty of having the rest of the other team DPS'ing and probably killing of half before long. If you don't go all in on Taric, he will just recover.. if they don't kill him first, it's going to be much more difficult to kill the rest.
However, he won't win you the game 100% because there's always counters like bursting down the weakest, full CC, and reduced healing effects. Not to mention his capabilities to act in teamfights are rather weak unless he has full CDR, auto-attacks and got loads of AP with some decent survivability.
He is very dependent on a good team compostion, aswell as good players, because you need more than 1-OP to win the game!

Okay, well personally I think the only OP thing in the game is AUTOSTUNS. I'm talking about Scion/Taric. Two second stuns that autofollow. If they were skill shots (like Morgana's stun) I would accept it as fair. But autostuns that are ranged, and last that long are ridiculous.
But hey, it's pretty fun to mess people with.
Best combo ever: Taric + Fiddle. Fiddle fears the enemy. Taric stuns while Fiddle drains them. Dead.
Doc Holliday
I find Shaco's ability to never die if you can play him to be OP as you never feed the enemy team and he gets alot of ganks. Get sheen on him and your initial burst will knock any caster or squishy down.. while passive poinson reduces enemy hit chance making low hp, high dmg carries easy prey aswell. OP.
Also Taric is pretty OP, roll him ability power(like I do in my guide) and he puts out massive heals, with CDR runes and blue rune you and your auto attacking dps AD carry will have an easy game. Ult basically hands them a BF sword and stun and shatter's armor reduc leave the enemy helpless. Also when taric heals he heals himself also and shatter is aoe along with your ulti. OP.
Use Shen with some energy runes and grab him tabi, heart of gold, sunfire. Ulti into any teamfight from across the map and aoe taunt dash and feint to damage soak. He can turn the tide of any fight and end up with your team scoring the ace instead of the enemy. OP.
@doc holliday
tarics stun does incredibly low damage, and the duration of the stun depends on how long it takes the missile to hit the target.
pantheons stun is 2 seconds, and it puts him right at the enemy. lastly morgs "stun" is 3 seconds at max, and its also not a stun, but a snare. the difference is that you can't move in a snare, while in a stun you can't do anything.
i totally agree on shaco being completely op.
on shen, while his ulti is great, shielding an ally and teleporting him to the ally, and the taunt/feint combo is nice. but hes just more of an annoyance.
I like things that make me feel stupid. - Ken Levine

i think xin was op before he got nerfed but now i think taric and other amazing support champs are op because they can be impossible to kill
Supports, while usually not noticed are OP.
I find that I win 90% more games as a support champion when I que in duos or full arranged becuase as long as my carries know what they are doing I can keep them alive to finish their job (ie: Zilean(rez), Taric and Soraka (heals) Morgana and Anivia (cc)) Which brings me to think that supports in general are OP, just kinda boring and aren't given the credit they deserve.
People are like "GG your -=auto attacking AD carry=- was so OP" and I sit back and smile becuase I was there saving my carry's bum :)

(CNSNews.com) - Former Vice President (and global warming aficionado) Al Gore deserves an award for hypocrisy, says the Tennessee Center for Policy Research.
The group, which studied Gore's electric and natural gas consumption, says his mansion in Belle Meade area of Nashville "consumes more electricity every month than the average American household uses in an entire year."
In his documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, Gore urges Americans to conserve energy by reducing electricity consumption at home, the group noted.
"The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) a year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000 kWh-more than 20 times the national average," the Tennessee Center for Policy Research said in a news release.
Last August alone, Gore burned through 22,619 kWh -- consuming more than twice as much electricity in one month as the average American family uses in an entire year. Gore's average monthly electric bill topped $1,359, the research group said.
Likewise, the natural gas bills for Gore's mansion and guest house averaged $1,080 a month last year.
"As the spokesman of choice for the global warming movement, Al Gore has to be willing to walk the walk, not just talk the talk, when it comes to home energy use," said Tennessee Center for Policy Research President Drew Johnson.
In total, Gore paid nearly $30,000 in combined electricity and natural gas bills for his Nashville estate in 2006, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research said.

2. Spy satellites
Spy satellites have been scanning Afghanistan for signs of anything that could be a hide-out. While the satellites' exact capabilities are not in the public domain, they are thought to be able to pick out objects 10cm across.
If there is cloud cover, the US can deploy an advanced space-based radar system powerful enough to produce near-photographic quality images in any weather conditions.
Satellite intelligence needs to be supported by what the miltiary call "ground truths". Once military commanders have an idea of where to look, they need other technology and intelligence on the ground to confirm they're on the right track.

Challenging sexist statements and attitudes from people one can't avoid(30 Posts)
Someone I must see regularly has the infuriating habit of spitting 'You girl' as a negative pisstake comment.
Mainly at our respective DSs.
I need to challenge this, but I'm not sure merely pointing out this sexism will have any impact, and I can't cause a big rift.
Lots of good ideas here.
My personal favourite is to call them on it and compare it to racism. Eg, would you say throw like an Asian? In my experience the direct comparison gets people thinking.
Message deleted by Mumsnet for breaking our Talk Guidelines. Replies may also be deleted.
this "I do challenge other things she says, but I've struggled to address the 'jokey' insult for some reason." really resonates with me. You lose so much face in our culture if you 'can't take a joke' - (I've noticed this now I live elsewhere, where people are less interested in sense of humour as a prestige thing) - and that's why the 'it's only a joke/gawd you humourless feminists can't take a joke!' is such an infuriating response.
I can see why you'd not want to engage, frankly. But that's where disingenuous/overt and obvious reactions can be fun. like, you can either go "I don't get it? (wide eyed) Don't you think girls are good at throwing?" if you're in the mood for being infuriatingly disingenuous, or you can use "HARR HARRDY HARRR! It's so funny because GIRLS ARE RUBBISH! I used to be a girl and I KNOW HOW RUBBISH THEY ARE! THAT'S SO FUNNY! HAAARR HARR!" because often calling out the implied assumptions make people embarrassed at what they're actually saying.
E&M - yes, indeed. Girls like me who once played netball and basketball throw far better than the average bloke.
Have you never heard "he throws like a girl" etc Speedy? Good.
Good grief this thread is so depressing. If it were racial stereotyping it would be quite a different story. Who are these morons? Can we have them shipped off to a volcanic island somewhere?
Aand0 shh, don't tell, but I did think of some of those later. Alas, I've had plenty of chances to have a quip ready, that's all! And it's taken me years... but now my inner Samuel L Jackson is at the ready
Great thread. Really interesting, I have 3 yr old ds and dread the day when he hears anti girl comments. Good idea to stock up on responses and ways of discussing it with him.
Blackcurrants - You are my hero, I only ever think of things to say later!
Plus if this is your main contact with her, you're only really trying to limit the impact of what she says on your DS, by making a joke out of it.
How old is DS? Maybe you should chat to him about what she says sometime? E.g. "Do you remember when Mrs X called you a girl, as if it was a bad thing? Do you know why some people do that?" and then it might be a good jumping off point for a kid-friendly history of sexism talk. He's going to hear it from other people than her and needs to have his own retorts, both mental and verbal.
I do challenge other things she says, but I've struggled to address the 'jokey' insult for some reason.
I think the difficulty is that 'you girl' is just the tip of an iceberg - you are not going to be able to affect that person's attitudes by simply calling them on that, however well-scripted you are. Because, of course, there is a whole mean bitter complex backstory about spitting insults at your child in the first place - and you'll probably get that underlying bitterness directed at you instead.
This is, like tabouleh's saying, where you can see language as a symptom - and although you can have a go at the symptoms it won't deal with the problem unless you get at the cause.
So, what is her cause?
DS (2) does this cute thing sometimes when he's leaning on something, he cocks one leg back and it looks like he's doing an arabesque at the ballet barre. Always play it up.
I'm absolutely signing him up for dance lessons in the future if he wants to go.
And he's getting a doll's buggy for his birthday. Probably the cheapo pink from Argos.
Mind you when I was an under tens football coach I always had to tell them that 'girl' is not a derogratory term.
Yep I've come accross this with dcs friends and totally stumped some of the boys with lines like,
Your mother's a girl and
Aw thanks that's brill that you big girls up so much, your mother did a great job with you didn't she.
Couldn't respond without dissing their own mother HA!
At the moment though my 13yr old ds is baiting me with sexist remarks and have now realised not to go for the jugular straightaway but to 'explore' why he says that, and point out examples he personaaly has had experience of sexism himself.
Therefore having great disscussions despite himself.
wastingaway, I feel your pain. With people like this, IME they generally tend to be such tossers that the only suitable response, I feel, is a hearty slap. All the more necessary since it's a woman saying it. Bloody idiot.
Not a mature response, I know, but bloody satisfying .
I've been thinking... "There's nothing wrong with being a girl, so that's not much of an insult."
Ooh Elephants, how I wish I'd said that
When I get my time machine, that'll be on the list!
One of me female friends at old job used to shout "votes for women!"and make banner-waving gestures when I started challenging sexism, I think because Mrs Banks in Mary Poppins was her only exposure to feminism before me (not joking). She did mean it in a nice way though. and it was an honour to be compared to suffragettes/ists in however ridiculous a way!
Wubbly, did you say "Well you just tuck this baby into your abdomen a sec and I'll get on with shifting the carpet."
I see, wastingaway. Then how about "you're a woman, why would you think being a girl is a bad thing?" or just plain "don't you like girls?".
I'm so glad this new topic has been added. I'm only just beginning to realise how isolated I've become from the world since becoming a SAHM.
I used to work in a largely female workplace, although men held almost all the positions of power. I'd actually forgotton the daily tirade of sexism that was commonplace there. I'd really forgotten how exhausting it was to challenge that almost every minute of the day. Every sucessful woman was belittled on how she looked, no matter how brilliant. It was part of the culture. I was often called Milly Tant as I was the only one prepared to challenge it.
The last time I recall being totally stumped by a ludicrous sexist remark, I was 6 months pregnant and trying to get an old carpet collected by the council. The man who came to collect it said 'I dunno, I thought you women wanted equality' WTF?
wastingaway that's so frustrating! Gah, I admire your calm!
In the which case, I'd go with one of Madwoman's suggestions, laugh uproariously and say "yes, kids, once it was considered to be bad to be like girls - wow, do you remember that? It was years ago! HAH!" or just use Elephant's tactic of "You mean really well?" (Big grin) until she STFU.
If all else fails, I think tabouleh's guidlines for effective interventions look spot-on. And if you want to boost your inner Samuel L Jackson, that post is wonderful
Lots of good stuff here.
I forgot to mention, this is actually a woman who says this all the time.
God blackcurrants I want to stop bigging you up, but that is a brilliant example of the kind of chat I love to have with misogynists: "I like talking about lots of things and I don't want to shag all of them." PMSL.
Have said on another thread, but THE most effective response I've used has been when s/o talks about "throwing like a girl" or "thinking like a girl" etc.
"You mean, really well?" [Eye contact, inquisitive smile.]
They just cannot bring themselves to explain outright that they are being a sexist backsplash.
(I should add, this has worked wonders for me in the past in that it's provided me with a laugh and stopped the perpetrator, who was suggesting I was a dyke because I was outspoken, but I'm not sure it actually EDUCATED him as such. I (and the others there) got a laugh out of "But why should wanting to talk about sexism mean I want to have sex with women? I mean, I like talking about lots of things and I don't want to shag all of them. Can you tell me about how my concern for ending sexual violence is really an elaborate ploy to get women to sleep with me? Would my concern be less effective if I did want to have sex with women? Do you like women? You do? And yet you can do that without caring about rape conviction rates? So maybe I can care about rape conviction rates without fancying women? I mean, the two aren't linked in your case, are they?" - but I doubt he learned much about his own idiotic bigotry ... other than not to voice it near me.
That was enough for me, though.
Actually I have to confess that of course it works both ways.
Since "discovering" Feminism a couple of weeks ago and "introducing" it to DH I then proceded to say to him:
"Oh why don't you be a man about it" about some thing (can't remember what).
Of course I was very very promptly (and correctly) called on this by DH!
I am now firmly of the belief that the use of language shapes opinions and that we should all work on erradicating our own and others sexist remarks/ideas etc.

Some dreams take a bit longer to fulfill than others. Just ask Stacey Lange '08. She comes from a long line of teachers and ever since she can remember, she wanted to become a teacher, too. However, as she was exploring post-high school plans, a guidance counselor steered her down a different career path, claiming that the teaching industry was saturated. With that advice, Stacey pursued tourism and hospitality management.
As her life assumed different priorities – including marriage and children – it took several years for Stacey to reach the decision that she wasn't fulfilled in her career and needed to do something about it. And that something was teaching!
"I explored different programs, but had trouble finding something that would allow me to balance family and work … and then I found Alverno." In 2000, Stacey enrolled in Alverno on the Weekend and started taking classes part time, every other weekend.
"Historically, I felt that school wasn't personalized enough for me. I call it 'skill and drill' when you learn something one day, then take a test on it the next. After hearing about Alverno, I thought that this learning style could be much more meaningful for me. And it was! I really soared, and I learned a lot about myself, but also about curriculum, in general."
After four years of Alverno on the Weekend, Stacey shifted to weekday classes where she could focus on the core teaching preparation curriculum. She continued to excel in the classroom and after several field experiences was selected by Alverno faculty for an exclusive internship at Walker Elementary in the West Allis-West Milwaukee School District. Unlike traditional student teaching, the internship opportunity was different in that Stacey taught 50 percent of the time in the classroom without a teacher present.
After graduating from Alverno in 2008, Stacey remained in the district where she continuously incorporates teaching philosophies learned at Alverno into her curriculum. Most recently, Stacey has been busy developing and implementing a new teaching vision called Next Generation Learning.
Collaborating with a cross-sampling team of teachers from within the district, the performance-based program creates a personalized learning environment that uses goal-setting, reflections and assessments for improved student performance. Implemented in the 2011-12 school year, Stacey's classroom community (there were programs in other schools, too) relied on three teachers and two student teachers to oversee 54 students in kindergarten through second grades, or what Stacey describes as a "multi-age cohort of learners."
"Although still in its relative infancy, the program has been hugely successful," shares Stacey. "It was recognized by CESA (Cooperative Educational Service Agency), plus teachers from all over the state have made classroom observation visits. The results have been excellent; the program – which launched in six elementary classroom communities, plus some classes in middle and high school – is now doubling in size this next school year."
News of its success quickly spread to Alverno faculty. Stacey returned to campus to share details about the program, as well as stories from her own personal experience at Alverno with students from ED216 (Technology in Classroom). In addition, the Next Generation Learning team is extending a student teaching opportunity to two students enrolled in the teacher preparation program at Alverno.
"Of course I'm excited to help two future teachers, but I'm also eager to get feedback from them. They have fresh ideas and I want to create an environment where they can share those ideas. I had people who encouraged me, allowing me to try new things and I want to do the same in return. I think that's what learning and teaching is all about … continuous improvement."

By Cheryl HarrisonJune 19, 2009
FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas -- In a ceremony held June 12 at Army Community Service, 17 graduates of the Transition Training Academy were awarded Information Technology certificates and laptop computers. The Transition Training Academy was established as a joint effort of the U.S. Department of Labor/Veterans' Employment and Training Service, Cisco Systems, Inc, the Office of Disability Employment Policy and the Wounded Warrior Project.
WWP in partnership with REALifelines administers the program as a part of their commitment to service men and women who have been wounded or injured on active duty. The TTA purpose is to empower today's wounded warriors with the tools needed to return to a competitive spirit in life, the working world and the American workforce. TTA provides innovative information technology training for servicemembers injured on active duty who face unique challenges as they transition to civilian life.
In a letter read to the graduates by Richard Willis, Regional Instruction and Recruitment coordinator, Jeff Searcy, executive vice president, Education and Career Advancement National Director, Wounded Warrior Project wrote, "Your graduation today is a significant achievement and example of your commitment to guiding your own future. Use the laptop you have been awarded in future success, whether that be schoolwork, a job search or new civilian careers. As you are all too aware, many obstacles may get in your way, but clearly you are more than capable of overcoming them as your presence here today demonstrates."
Keynote speaker for the ceremony was Rudy Guerra, employment adviser, U.S. Department of Labor/Veteran's Employment and Training Service. Guerra, a former Marine and Representative of the REALifelines program, spoke with much emotion and conviction to the graduating TTA class.
Guerra said, "My plan was to have a full career as a Marine, but unfortunately things change. So I decided to do whatever it took to help my fellow veterans. There are projects out there like this program to help you. And keep in mind you aren't just doing this for yourself, you are doing it for your comrades. Thank you for all you've done."
The TTA series of courses are taught in a modified, instructor-led classroom setting. This environment is supported by web-based exercises and online learning. The program provides a flexible schedule of classes to accommodate participants' medical and duty requirements. Currently, course classes are held over a two-day period, weekly or every other week, and are delivered in three-hour segments.
Each class is available in virtual and physical formats. Dividing the classes into shorter segments facilitates increased participant attendance, completion and material retention, regardless of physical limitations, medical obligations or duty assignment.
Students' access computers at their location, participate with peer support and collaboration with instructors. Upon successful completion of the course, graduates are provided with a certificate of completion and a laptop to foster their entry into the IT industry.
The graduates in the June 12 ceremony each received Hewlett Packard laptops donated by USAA.
Among the 17 graduates were husband and wife, James and Kathy Weisinger. Kathy Weisinger said, "I got into the class first and encouraged my husband to come with me. I asked what if the wounded warrior can't work and the spouse has to become the bread winner. Well they were nice enough to let me take the class along with my husband. My husband received the computer, but I learned from the training."
The course series include computer and software support fundamentals, networking and small office/home office (SOHO) network design and installation, and proficiency with business applications including Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint. The courses are taught on-site by a trained instructor with physical and virtual classroom participation.
