Post subject: eagles this season
We r set at Qb- i think macmahon will win the 2nd Qb spot
the eagles may look into traing Reno Mahe an one of their three 4ths to the Bills for for T.Henry which would be amazing. Westy,Henry,Moats an Buck who will get injured. Westy will get an extension and Moats will be great.
Fullback shud be goo competition with Ritchie winning.
At Wr TO will return, Brown,Lewis and Pinky will all get loas o playin time. Billy mcmullen either steps up in trainin canmp or i think Issac West gets his spot who i think can be like Lewis
At TE Smith is the starter. I hv heard good things abouth Thorn an if that doesnt work out we can convert Thapeh whos good at catching unlike Parry and can also block
OL starters are set Thomas, Hicks, Fraley, Anrews an Runyan. Scuilio and Drelik who will be dominant a few years from now will be the first ones of the bench. Hearmines, Armstrong, Clarke, Furio, and Jackson will either be on the roster on on the PS.
At DE mcdougal will step up opposite Kearse. Kalu an Douglas will play well and Trent Cole will surprise a lot of people in his first year as a specialist thir down pass rusher
Simon and Walker will be startin with Patterson and Rayburn gettin lots of playin time. Hollis Thomas has one more year as a run stuffer before Kenyota Marshall takes over
At LB we hv trott, jones and adams. Sims wont get cut coz of his cap but will next year. McCoy will be the nickel LB. Mike Labijo will continue impresing and either Greg Richmon or Martin Petterson of TCU will make it to the squad.
At CB Lito, Shelon will be great again. Hood and Ware will fight for the nickel an Wynn will be the PR
At S B.Dawk and Lewis will be dominant. Mikell will be ecent and i hv a feeling that Coincendene(sp) will be a bust. I think Ware is our future at FS.
Just my opinions will they be true. prob not
This is finally da eagles year

Maybe not worth it for the Bills, Henry is pretty much the same money and 10 million times better. Why not trade one of our 10 or so OL, the Bills need an OL badly esp. a OT. Why not tra thomas? It is his contract year and he supposely wants a new deal at least the eagles get something for him. Now I think they should try to get a draft pick with the trade too (since Thomas has a little more value than Henry).
work out we can convert Thapeh whos good at catching unlike Parry and can also block
I just don't see them converting Tapeh to TE, he was HB last year. I say go after a project like Chevy Troutman or make a trade for a decent TE.
At DE mcdougal will step up opposite Kearse. Kalu an Douglas will play well and Trent Cole will surprise a lot of people in his first year as a specialist thir down pass rusher
I'm guessing you think Green is going to get cut. Just wondering?
Billy mcmullen either steps up in trainin canmp
He looks so good at camp then never really shows up in the games. You are right this is his year to either prove himself or he'll be shipped out- they can't spend another year developing him. I wouldn't mind them trying to get Rod Gardner if he is released from the Skins too- this would put Pinky on the hot seat then.
Wynn will be the PR
I think Moats will beat him out of this spot during pre-season. Remember how good Westy was at returning punts- I think the same will hold true for Moats.
Pretty good overview as a whole though.

When Julia Gilmore graduated last year, it left a void at goalie for the Valhalla girls water polo team. So younger sister Jordan elected to move from another position to fill that spot.
Now Jordan Gilmore will be in goal as the Norsemen bid for their first San Diego Section Division II championship.
Looking cool in the hot spot, she recorded 11 saves to help top-seeded Valhalla advance with an 8-3 victory over Point Loma in the semifinals Tuesday night at La Jolla High's Coggan Pool.
"No one else was able to step up to be in goal at this level, so I took the responsibility," said Gilmore, a senior who gained experience there two years ago. "I love it. It was my home. My nest, that's what I call it."
Kaitlyn Persky and Alli Davis each scored three goals to spearhead the Norsemen (25-6), who are making their school's first finals appearance since 1999.
Valhalla will go for the first title by an East County school at the same site on Saturday against No. 2 Mt. Carmel, which topped Ramona 4-1 behind three goals by junior Nicole Ryder.
"Our girls are spirited and always ready to play," said Persky, a senior, who scored three straight second-half goals for Valhalla after the fourth-seeded Pointers closed within 4-2. "We're making history, making history for our family, the team."
The Norsemen, who came off a 12-0 triumph over Hilltop, extended their shutout streak until 54 seconds left in the first half on the way to a 4-1 halftime lead. To that point, they had six steals.
"My teammates support me," Gilmore said. "Everyone is willing to help on defense. We're good at communicating."
Mt. Carmel (17-3) is reaching the finals for the first time after advancing to the semifinals in Division I a year ago.
Though the Sundevils never trailed, they encountered tough going against Ramona (15-17) and sophomore goalie Tiffany Larson with 13 saves. The only goal of the second half came when Ryder converted a penalty shot with 29 seconds left.
"We earned it," said Ryder, a third-year varsity member. "We worked hard during the season, and it really paid off. We pulled together."
Mt. Carmel's Kathryn Evans made seven saves in containing the Bulldogs, who had their first two playoff wins ever this year.

Banks blamed for Swissair failure
Credit Suisse and UBS, the two Swiss banks behind the partial rescue of Swissair, have become targets of increasing criticism over their role in the deal.
On 30 September, the banks offered a 1.35bn Swiss franc (�568m; $843m) bail-out package, agreeing to buy Swissair's 70% in regional subsidiary Crossair, in order to allow the group to carry on as a going concern.
But the banks were slow to hand over the cash, leading to a series of embarrassing incidents, including the impounding of Swissair planes, the halting of fuel supplies, and the stranding of tens of thousands of passengers.
Now, although Swissair's services have restarted, staff, shareholders and the Swiss press are mounting a bitter campaign against the terms of the deal.
Protest problems
The weekend was marked by street protests around Switzerland, targeting branches of UBS and Credit Suisse.
The Swiss press has urged customers to withdraw their business from the banks - according to the FT Deutschland newspaper, some 10,000 accounts have already been closed at UBS alone.
The British Sunday Telegraph newspaper reported that some 60 banks - including Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank and Citibank - are preparing legal action against UBS and Credit Suisse.
The 60 banks are lent some �3.8bn to Swissair, and are hoping to get at least some of the money back from Crossair's new owners.
Depth of feeling
Observers believe UBS and Credit Suisse have been taken aback by the vehemence of the protests.
During the first week after the rescue package, they refused to admit mistakes in the handling of Swissair.
But speaking on Swiss television on Friday, UBS president Marcel Ospel said he was postponing a trip to New York to concentrate on the Swissair problem.
"I offer my apologies to all concerned," he said.
Mr Ospel admitted that he was aware in advance of the likely impact of delaying the handover of cash.
"But to my eyes it was clear that we could not cover all the costs of keeping all the flights in the air," he said.
He apologised for not sharing information openly enough with the public, but added: "We were all under pressure".
Swissair stumbles on
Swissair said it was planning to run a 55% schedule on Monday, amid continuing fears over plane seizures and fuel supplies.
It will also cut its work force by 12%.
The airline's holding company, Swissair Group, which also controls a number of ground-service and leisure subsidiaries, was granted one month's protection from creditors on Friday.
Most of Swissair's flight operations are due to be transferred to Crossair on 28 October.
Crossair has agreed to take 52 of Swissair's aircraft, but union leaders fear Crossair might be hoping to include fewer planes in the deal than earlier foreseen.

Bassist-composer Ben Allison is one of a few band leaders working in jazz today who has
developed his own instantly identifiable sound. Known for his inspired arrangements,
inventive grooves, and hummable melodies, Allison draws from the jazz tradition and
influences that range from rock and folk to classical and world music, seamlessly blending
them into a cinematic, cohesive whole.
With his groups-Ben Allison Band, Man Size Safe, Peace Pipe, and Medicine Wheel-Allison
has toured extensively throughout North America, Europe, and Brazil, winning fans and
building new audiences with an adventurous yet accessible sound and a flair for the
unexpected. He has also released 10 CDs on Palmetto Records-all of which showcase his
forward-thinking vision as a producer, composer, arranger, and bassist.
Allison has been cited in the Downbeat Critics Poll bassist (2010 and 2011) and
composer categories (2010), and was named Rising Star Bassist in 2005, 2006, and 2007. His
most recent album, Action-Refraction, reached the top of the CMJ national jazz
radio charts and remained in the top 20 for over three months, making it one of the
most-played CDs of 2011. His previous six albums, achieved similar radio success, garnering
him six SESAC National Performance Awards, and have been named as among the best of the
year by publications such as Billboard, The New York Times, The
Boston Globe, Village Voice, and JazzTimes, among many others.
At the age of 25, Allison formed the Jazz Composers Collective-a musician-run, non-profit
organization based in New York City that is dedicated to constructing an environment where
artists can exercise their ideals of creating and risking through the development and
exploration of new music. As its artistic director and a composer-in-residence, he has
produced or co-produced more than 100 concerts and special events. Also as a member of the
Collective, Allison has received commissioning, performing, and recording grants from
Chamber Music America, Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust, National Endowment for the Arts,
Aaron Copland Foundation, Meet the Composer, and American Composers Forum. Visit
benallison.com for more information.
Michael Blake has released 10 critically acclaimed CDs, ranging from original contemporary
concept albums to mainstream projects, such as his tribute to the under-recognized
saxophonist Lucky Thompson. He has received study, commission, and travel grants from the
Canada Council for the Arts, and received Chamber Music America's Doris Duke grant for new
jazz works. Blake is a faculty member at Europe's oldest jazz master's program in Siena,
Italy, where he has taught alongside Kenny Werner, Rufus Reid, Greg Osby, and Enrico Rava.
Blake has also performed at jazz festivals worldwide and has conducted workshops in Canada,
Italy, Brazil, Denmark, and Portugal. His work has been profiled in The New York
Times, DownBeat, The New Yorker, The Globe and Mail, and
All About Jazz, as well as many online, European, and Canadian music journals.
Among the many artists Blake has recorded and performed with are Oliver Lake; Grachan
Moncour III; Medeski, Martin & Wood; Ray LaMontagne; Enrico Rava; Stefano Bollani; The
Gil Evans Orchestra; Ben E. King; Neil Sedaka; Tricky; Prince Paul; Natalie Cole; Steven
Bernstein; Dr. Lonnie Smith; Hal Willner; "Sir Coxsone" Dodd; and Pinetop Perkins.
Steve Cardenas has been an integral part of the jazz community in New York City for 16
years. He has performed and recorded with such groups as the Paul Motian Septet, Charlie
Haden's Liberation Music Orchestra, the Ben Allison Band, and the Steve Swallow Quintet, to
mention a few. Cardenas also leads his own trio, performing at a number of venues around
New York City. His latest album, West of Middle, was released in 2010, featuring
Ben Allison and Rudy Royston. He has toured Europe extensively, including the North Sea and
Montreux jazz festivals, and has appeared as a sideman on more than 100 recordings.
Cardenas teaches at The New School, where he leads the Thelonious Monk Ensemble and gives
private lessons. Cardenas also collaborated on a book of Monk's compositions through
publisher Hal Leonard; the Thelonious Monk Fakebook marks the premier publishing
of all of Monk's compositions, with many of them appearing in print for the first time.
Rudy Royston began playing drums and percussion as a toddler, playing in church and along
with an eclectic array of LPs his siblings would have on rotation. The youngest of five,
Royston attributes his musical interests and palate to his three older brothers and his
father. He went on to study marching percussion, classical percussion, and jazz performance
at University of Northern Colorado, Metropolitan State College of Denver, and University of
Denver. While in college, Royston began playing with well-regarded trumpeter Ron Miles. He
taught music for 10 years in the public schools before relocating to the East Coast in 2006
to pursue his graduate studies at the Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University.
Royston quickly integrated himself into the New York music scene, performing with
world-renowned artists such as Javon Jackson, Bill Frisell, Les McCann, David Gilmore,
Jason Moran, JD Allen, Sean Jones, Jeremy Pelt, Greg Osby, Jennifer Holliday, Tia Fuller,
Ravi Coltrane, Ralph Bowen, Bruce Barth, George Colligan, Don Byron, Stanley Cowell, Tom
Harrell, John Ellis, Jenny Scheinman, and the Mingus Big Band.
Originally from Foxboro, Massachusetts, guitarist and banjo-player Brandon Seabrook moved
to New York City in 2003. He derived early musical inspiration from iconic guitarists such
as D. Boon of the Minutemen and Edward Van Halen. While studying with percussionist Bob
Moses at the New England Conservatory, Seabrook discovered the tenor banjo. He founded the
band Seabrook Power Plant as a way to explore the uniquely percussive qualities of the
instrument, a pursuit that has, in turn, changed the way he approaches the guitar. The band
has released two records to critical acclaim. Recent collaborations include performances
with vocalist and performance artist Joey Arias at Town Hall and Abrons Arts Center, and
with drummer Gerald Cleaver's Black Host. Seabrook is a contributing writer to The
Fretboard Journal and was awarded Best Original Score at the 2010 Brooklyn Film
Rogerio Boccato plays in projects led by some of today's leading jazz players, among them
Danilo Pérez, John Patitucci, Edward Simon, David Binney, Paul Bollenback, Jon Gordon, and
Mike Holober. He has also collaborated with top-ranking Brazilian artists, such as Toninho
Horta, Dori Caymmi, Moacir Santos, and Vinicius Cantuária. As a longtime member of the
Orquestra Jazz Sinfônica do Estado de São Paulo, Boccato performend with Antônio Carlos
Jobim, Hermeto Pascoal, Milton Nascimento, Egberto Gismonti, João Bosco, Joe Zawinul, among
many others. He is featured on two Grammy-nominated albums: Kenny Garrett's Beyond the
Wall and John Patitucci's Remembrance, alongside Joe Lovano and Brian Blade.
Boccato has been a faculty member of the Manhattan School of Music, The Hartt School, and
Montclair State University. He has been presenting clinics on Brazilian music, focusing on
traditional Brazilian rhythms and styles applied to the drum set and jazz combos, which
have been enthusiastically received at universities around the United States, Mexico, and
Joey Arias is a New York City-based performance artist, cabaret singer, and drag artist.
While working at a designer clothing store in the mid-1970s, he became friends with
alternative icon Klaus Nomi, singing backup and designing sets and costumes. In December
1979, the two appeared on Saturday Night Live, accompanying David Bowie in a
performance of "TVC 15." Arias gradually became involved in the burgeoning 1980s New York
performance-art scene, appearing regularly at Club 57 and other downtown venues. During
these years, he also began crafting a successful career in cabaret, based on his talent for
channeling the vocal style and mannerisms of the legendary Billie Holiday.
In 2003, Arias starred in Cirque du Soleil's Zumanity in Las Vegas, for which he
also co-wrote two songs. After six years, he returned to New York, where he starred in
Arias with a Twist, a collaboration with master puppeteer Basil Twist. The show
has since spawned a "docufantasy" film of the same name, which premiered at the Tribeca
Film Festival in 2010. Arias is particularly notable for his portrayal of Joan Crawford in
New York and San Francisco productions of Christmas with the Crawfords, an
original holiday spoof of Christina Crawford's book Mommie Dearest. His
feature-film credits include Big Top Pee-Wee; Mondo New York; Elvira,
Mistress of the Dark; Flawless; To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie
Newmar; and Wigstock: The Movie.
Ben Allison is
not only one of the most prolific artists in contemporary
jazz, he's also one of its strongest advocates. "I believe very strongly that
the jazz tradition has to continue to evolve and grow," he told
AllAboutJazz.com after a gig at the Newport Jazz Festival. "I hope to be a
voice in that growth." And undeniably, he has been for two decades.
Fans of the acclaimed bassist might wonder, then, why Allison chose not to
offer new original compositions but instead a set of interpretations for his
10th album. The answer, it turns out, is rather simple: "Action-Refraction is my attempt at reimagining other people's
music," he says of the album. "Part of the challenge that I set for myself was
to pull together a very diverse group of tunes: Samuel Barber ("St. Ita's Vision"), Thelonious Monk ("Jackie-ing"), PJ
Harvey ("Missed"), Neil Young ("Philadelphia"), and Donny Hathaway
("Some Day We'll All Be Free"). I picked tunes I wish I'd written. I was trying
to make a cohesive statement that has my stamp on it. There is something about
each that is personal and familiar."
Allison will surely bring that commitment to inventiveness and direct
connection with him when he makes his debut appearance at Zankel Hall with
Michael Blake on tenor saxophone and clarinet, Steve Cardenas on guitar,
Brandon Seabrook on guitar and banjo, Rudy Royston on drums, Rogerio Boccato on
percussion, and Joey Arias contributing vocals. All but the last two appear on Action-Refraction, but Allison promises
something different for the show: "With this particular concert, we're going a
little bit unplugged," he says. "Carnegie Hall is a milestone in any musician's
career and I feel that it's my obligation, as a jazz musician, to do something
new—at least new for me."
Interestingly, Allison—considered one of the most prominent acoustic bassists
in jazz today—came to the instrument by accident. He was studying both guitar
and West African drumming in high school, "feeling a little pulled, a little
scattered," when his ensemble instructor asked him to sit in on bass one day
because the band's regular bassist was ill. Allison fell instantly in love. "It
felt like the child of the guitar and the drum, a combination of those two
instruments," he says, "especially the way I play it, with a lot of percussive
Allison hasn't looked back since, and the jazz world is thankful for that.
"Improvisation is an essential component of what I like to be involved with,"
he says. "That's what turns me on, that feeling that keeps it kind of risky and
dangerous and exciting. I'm a proponent of new music, and jazz is music that
seeks the times. I'm a child of today's world and jazz is a reflection of
what's happening now."

I knew that various parts of the web are blocked inside of China, but I didn't realize how much it would actually affect me during my five days there. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, TwitPic, Tumblr, Dropbox, Foursquare, Vimeo, various Google services (Calendar, Reader), certain news sites, podcast downloads. All of these things were inaccessible while I was there. I of course tried loads of VPN services and proxy clients but couldn't get any to connect.
It didn't stop at the web, though. SMS messages to my family were garbled (this happened to both my friend Karen and me, and we were on different networks: MaxRoam (me) and O2 (Karen), so it didn't seem to be a carrier issue) or just didn't make it. I missed loads of incoming SMS messages as well. I can't explain how frustrating it is to feel completely cut off from your friends and family.
At the Lhasa airport on the way back to Kathmandu, I used Maxroam to call my family and it worked great. I couldn't wait to get back to Nepal and catch up more with folks. It made me realize that even though I can go weeks without using the web when I want to disconnect, I do miss them when I know they're there and I can't get to them.
It felt silly, because how much do you really miss when you don't read Twitter or Facebook for a few days? Usually not terribly much. In fact I rarely use them or any of the other blocked sites I mentioned above when I'm on holidays. But I returned to Kathmandu feeling like I had been in outer space for a year. It's a very strange feeling.

Jackass Star Steve-O is Back in New Zealand This August
Jackass Star Steve-O is Back in New Zealand This August
Steve-O (a.k.a. Stephen Glover) has become a household name starring in the popular MTV show and films Jackass, and their spin-off series Wildboyz. Robin Fernando are stoked to announce the return of the attention-seeking stunt-man to New Zealand for two stand-up comedy shows this August.
From the age of fifteen, Steve-O began producing homemade skateboarding videos featuring dangerous stunts mixed with comical behavior.
After realizing that college wasn't for Steve-O, he enrolled in Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Clown College to help further his goal of becoming a professional stuntman. After graduating Clown College, and determined to make it in Hollywood, he began to pitch his home videos to producers.
Eventually, Steve-O's videos made it into the hands of Jeff Tremaine (Jackass Creator/Director/Producer) who was working with Johnny Knoxville to create a stunt based reality show. The rest is history. MTV aired the first season of Jackass in 2000. In 2001, Steve-O launched his own "Steve-O Don't Try This At Home Tour", establishing himself as an accomplished stage performer, at venues throughout the U.S. and in a dozen countries.
When the Jackass TV series ended in 2002, the team moved on to JACKASS: THE MOVIE, released by Paramount in October of that year. Shortly thereafter, Steve-O and fellow Jackass alum, Chris Pontius, were given a spin-off show entitled Wildboyz, which aired on MTV and MTV2 and lasted four seasons. In 2006, Paramount released JACKASS: NUMBER 2 in theatres and Steve-O continued to thrill audiences with his outrageous stunts.
In 2009 he competed on ABC's hit show, DANCING WITH THE STARS, and lasted six weeks, despite an injury and having virtually no dancing ability whatsoever. A year later saw Paramount's release of JACKASS: 3D.
Thus far (and still counting), his career as a performer has brought him to a total of 38 countries.
Steve-O has been clean and sober since March of 2008 and lives a healthy, vegan lifestyle in the Los Angeles area . . . but he still has no problem stapling his balls to his leg.
The most infamous member of Jackass will hit New Zealand stages with wild ideas and enough comic punch to throw you sideways. Expect wild ideas and a good dose of insanity. Get your tickets today.
Tickets on sale from Monday, 23 June at 9am (details below).

In this undated file image provided by Sony Pictures Entertainment, singer-actresses Jordin Sparks, left, and Whitney Houston are shown in a scene from the film "Sparkle."
In the movie "Sparkle," the title character faces the challenge of living into her own authenticity. She asks her mother why God would give her a gift, a talent to compose music if it was wrong for her to develop and to share the gift with the world. Not to live her authentic self would be torture. For me, this movie is about faith and the freedom that comes with a faith that inspires us to live authentic lives.
"Sparkle" is the last screen role of the late pop music diva Whitney Houston who plays Emma, the mother of three daughters who form a girl singing group in 1968 Detroit. I recognize the mother who keeps a tight rein on her daughters because she wants to keep them on a straight and narrow path into the black bourgeoisie.
Emma was strict with her daughters because she had lived through her own difficulties with men, the music industry and with substance abuse. It is this mother's hope that her daughters will not repeat her mistakes.
This movie serves up some well-worn movie clichés and stereotypes. There is Sister, the sensual woman too beautiful for a happy ending. Think Elizabeth Taylor in "Raintree County," "Butterfield 8" and even "Cleopatra." There is the dark-skinned, no nonsense Delores, the first to wear an Afro. Think about the various iterations of Sapphire. There is the caricature a minister, a preacher who shows up for Sunday dinner and prays way too long. I have never met a minister that remotely resembles such a character. Then there is the requisite black pain and madness—drug addiction, domestic violence, murder and jail.
Yet, through it all "Sparkle" must make a decision about her life and her responsibility to her gift. A wonderful surprise in the movie is to hear the voice of another great lady of music, Nina Simone. She sings "Feeling Good" bedded a song all about living one's essential self. Simone sings: "Birds flying high, you know how I feel. Sun in the sky, you know how I feel. Breeze drifting by, you know how I feel. It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me. Freedom is mine and I know how I feel and I'm feeling good."
Freedom is the theme of Houston's final screen song, "His Eye is on the Sparrow." We see Houston come full circle back to her roots in the African American church, back to a faith that never deserted her and to which she was loyal to the very end. She sang "Jesus Loves Me" at a party in the final hours of her life. In the movie, Houston's voice is a voice full of the triumph and tragedy, the joy and the pathos of living through the challenges of life in the public eye for her entire adult life. She sings: "I sing because I'm happy. I sing because I'm free. His eye is on the sparrow, and I know he watches over me."
Finally, as a mother, Houston tells Sparkle that having faith in oneself is necessary for success. We can see where God may have given Sparkle a gift, but her faith in herself and her own fierce determination is necessary to give the world something that may save someone's life because, as she tells a music executive, her music is her own salvation.
Philosophers teach that we can only measure a life once it has ended. Now that Houston's earthly work is done, we can look critically, carefully and lovingly at her body of work, her choices of songs to sing. One of her early hits was "The Greatest Love of All." In that song she sings of the importance of self reliance, authenticity, dignity and love. She tells us in the song to find our strength in love. In her final movie, she teaches the importance of faith in our gifts, our dreams, our essential selves. And in this faith is our freedom.

Remember Iraqi women on International Women's Day
By Kathlyn Stone
International Women's Day, March 8, should be a global day of celebration over the economic, political and social achievements of women worldwide.
Instead I mourn what my government has done to the women of Iraq.
The U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq have brought an alarming increase in violence against women, including "honor killings" by religious fundamentalists. Women who do not subordinate their role to that of property of male family members have no value among the fundamentalists.
The Iraq Freedom Congress, a grassroots political movement headquartered in Baghdad, issued a statement congratulating women worldwide on International Women's Day and asked that people everywhere stand with the women of Iraq as they face oppression from sectarian gangs.
While hundreds of women have been murdered by religious gangs, unveiled women are routinely targeted and threatened with violence if they don't wear hajibs and follow strict Islamic law. The government has not moved to stop the violence or the threats, according to the Iraq Freedom Congress.
"Iraq Freedom Congress stands at the forefront of the struggle to expel these bandits from Iraq," said Amjad Al-Jawhary, an IFC spokesperson.
The international protests against sexual discrimination are growing louder every year, says Al-Jawhary, and yet in Iraq, "the discrimination against women by sectarian militias linked to mullahs in Iran and groups of Al Qaeda has reached the level of sexual genocide, particularly in the cities of Basra, Baghdad, Mosul and Diyala.
These groups have committed the most heinous crimes against humanity, and women in particular."
The U.S. military occupation has "turned a blind eye" to the work of the religious gangs, said Al-Jawhary. He suggests that both the occupation forces and the present government have surrendered Iraq and future generations to the criminals through their failure to reign in the gangs.
"We must put an end to the killing of women," said Fryal Akbar, head of the IFC's Women's Bureau at a press conference in Bagdad held earlier this year to draw attention to the escalation of violence against women.
"Women today have every right to defend themselves against the religious and sectarian gangs by all means." She also warned that the IFC will not stand by watching crimes being committed without consequences. "From our experience, these gangs will not put an end to their crimes unless serious action is taken."
A year ago today, Yifat Susskind of MADRE, an international women's human rights organization headquartered in New York, wrote "Since the United States invaded, Iraqi women have endured a wave of death threats, assassinations, abductions, public beatings, targeted sexual assaults and public hangings.
Both Sunni and Shiite Islamist militias direct much of this violence. These groups mushroomed across Iraq after the United States toppled the secular Baath regime. Ironically, the Shiite militias are the armed wings of the political parties that the U.S. boosted into power. Their aim is to establish an Islamist theocracy and their social vision requires the subjugation of women."
Suhad Salim, another member of the IFC Women's Bureau, described a young woman's sense of hopelessness. "The deterioration of the security situation, the intervention of the political Islamic groups into everyone's personal life and the enforcement of the Islamic law on the street has forced women to quit both school and work to stay home seeking safety. These conditions create desperation and hopelessness in life leading many women to buy shrouds and wait for their death.
"I asked Sawsan Ali of Althawra city who is 30 years old why she quit school and stays home. She has lost her ambition and tends to think about death. Sawson answered: "There's no hope for safety in the foreseeable future, my rights as a woman do not exist. Everything is against me as a human: family, traditions and culture. Killing and terrorizing women have become a daily show. Why should I live? I cannot go to school safely or voice my opinion. Whatever I do is opposed by others. Basically nothing is left to live for, therefore I am preparing for death."

I use an aerosol deodorant so I won't have to touch myself. I know some favor roll-ons, but I oppose anything that involves self-exploration.
Aerosols come in handy when you see a hornet you want to immolate with the flick of the Bic. Aerosol cans explode and that comes in handy, too.
Artful expression is furthered with spray paint. Run alongside trains if you've no crossing in town and I'm confident you'll agree. Aerosol topping can't be beat on pumpkin pie -- I prefer ice cream with mine as well.
I wish condiments were aerosolized, or at least catsup. Spray butter would be nice for evenly coating my toast.
Aerosols make the home smell nicer. Some lubricants are aerosolized. Got a frozen door lock? Spray de-icer.
I hope they never ban aerosols.

Inspections, Compliance, Enforcement, and Criminal Investigations

Los Angeles District
May 12, 2005
Harvey Yamamoto, O.C.
C & E GP Specialists

San Clemente, CA 92673
Dear Dr. Yamamoto:
Your firm manufactures medical devices. During an inspection of your manufacturing facility located in San Clemente, California, conducted between January 26 and February 8, 2005, our investigator found significant deviations from the Current Quality System Regulations (QSR) for finished devices (Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 820). Such deviations cause human devices manufactured at this facility to be adulterated within the meaning of Section 501(h) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (henceforth the "Act") (21 U.S.C. 351(h)).
Section 501(h) of the Act states that a device shall be deemed adulterated if the methods used in, or the facilities or controls used for its manufacture, packing, storage, or installation do not conform to or are not administered in conformity with current Quality System Regulations, to assure that such device will be safe and effective.
Our inspection found the following device QSR deficiencies:
1. Not all complaints you have received have been reviewed and evaluated to determine whether an investigation is necessary. Specifically, you have received 12 complaints concerning hooks on the edges of your lenses, poor optics, poor performance and/or defective edges or lenses. Eleven of these complaints have performance no documentation of an investigation to determine the root cause. [21 CFR 820.198(b).
2. You have not identified and/or analyzed all quality data to identify existing and/or potential causes of nonconforming product or other quality problems. Specifically, you have complaint and returned goods data lacking documentation of any investigation. [21 CFR 820.100(a)(1)]
3. You have not documented corrective and/or preventive action needed to prevent the recurrence of nonconforming product or other quality issues. Specifically, you have no documentation to support any corrective and/or preventive action to address nonconforming or other quality issues which led to the receipt of 12 complaints. [21 CFR 820.100(b)]
4. You have not established, defined and documented corrective and preventive action procedures. [21 CFR 820.100(a), (b)]
5. Your quality audit procedure is incomplete. Specifically, you have not identified a responsible individual to conduct the audit, areas to be covered, individual(s) responsible for review, implementation of any corrective action, and informing management. [21 CFR 820.22]
6. You have not documented acceptance activities. Specifically, for at least 3 invoices the device history records do not contain the original processing parameters as ordered by the consignee. [21 CFR 820.80(e)]
7.You released for distribution finished product without the signature of the individual designated to authorize such release. Specifically, at least 3 invoices with product identified in your complaint documentation had product released without the signature of an authorized official. [21 CFR 820.80(d)(3)]
The above is not intended to be an all-inclusive list of violations. As a manufacturer of human medical devices, you are responsible for assuring that your overall operations and the products you manufacture and distribute are in compliance with the law. You should take prompt action to correct these violations and to establish procedures to prevent their recurrence. Failure to promptly correct these violations may result in regulatory action without further notice, such as seizure and/or injunction. Other Federal Agencies are informed about the Warning Letters issued so they may consider this information when awarding government contracts for medical device products. In addition, no requests for Certificates to Foreign Governments will be approved until the violations related to the subject devices have been corrected.
We are in receipt of your February 22, and March 28, 2005 responses to the Form FDA 483, Inspectional Observations, issued to you at the close of the most recent inspection. While your response commits to correction of your documentation, your response is silent as to any corrective action planned to address the lack of a thorough investigation of complaints and returned goods to determine if additional product may be adulterated and/or if a root cause of quality rejects can be identified. While written procedures are required, it is of far greater importance that appropriate action be taken with respect to any and all potential quality issues. You should provide written commitment of your planned actions with respect to investigation of returned goods, complaints and other potential quality concern data sources.
You should notify this office in writing within fifteen (15) working days of receipt of this letter, of the specific steps you have taken to correct the noted violations, including an explanation of each step being taken to prevent the recurrence of similar violations. If corrective action cannot be completed within fifteen (15) working days, state the reason for the delay and the time within which the corrections will be completed. Also include copies of any available documentation demonstrating that corrections have been made. If you have any questions or need clarification regarding this letter prior to your written response, you may contact Barbara Rincon, Compliance Officer, at telephone number (949) 608-4439.
Your reply should be directed to:

Evening Reading: Why H-P Is Buying Back Shares
Of bidding wars and share repurchases: Supposedly, companies repurchase shares when executives think the market is undervaluing the firm's stock. That does not always happen, though, and it's not what is happening at H-P. The M&A Law Prof writes: "What's happening here is that shareholders are unhappy with HP's decision to take its excess cash and engage in a bidding war that it will likely lose (even if it wins) with Dell. Committing $10 billion of its $15 billion to a share repurchase credibly signals to investors that HP won't be engaging in more of these kinds of games – mostly because it can't any more. That's a good thing I suppose."
Speaking of H-P, Dell and 3PAR: H-P offer values 3PAR's employees at $2.8 million apiece, Mike Armstrong points out.
Hello, Geneva: London has long dominated the European hedge fund universe. But for the past year there has been much talk of hedge funds fleeing the City for Geneva. Neil Wilson is skeptical that London will see a large exodus. "Most of London's leading firms—and there were some 55 London firms in the Billion Dollar Club at the start of the year—have not made the move yet. Even the firms that have moved still have many more personnel in London, and it does not seem likely that many of the new generation will follow. Most new funds are not in a position to negotiate tax incentive deals. Geneva also lacks the huge pool of talent in the financial industry that London can offer."

Everything else works fine, and my sim works good in other phones and stays on 4G.
Any idea what this could be or what is causing this?
I'm not getting 4g at all on my phone. I came here to post a question and saw yours, so thought posting another thread would be pointless.
I've got NusenseSIX RC4.5 running and while the 4g icon comes on, there's no data transfer at all. I flashed the new firmware first, as instructed, and that seemed to go just fine according to the directions. But, when I swapped my sim card from my other One and waited a few minutes, even *228'ed, no data.
I got the phone already rooted and s-offed with TWRP 220.127.116.11. How do I get it back to stock to clear out the network settings? Or could it be a bad firmwware flash, so I'm screwed anyway?
EDIT: I redid everything, and just stuck with the Sense 5.5 mostly stock ROM. Data works now. Might've been firmware, might've been the ROM on my phone. Zero idea.

"Social exclusion" is a real problem, but it doesn't excuse the looting and lawlessness on the streets of London.
LONDON—Since moving to London more than a year ago, I've seen a woman toss a cat into a "wheelie bin" for no particular reason; a group called the Socialist Workers Party march on the Royal Bank of Scotland, which is 84 percent publicly owned; and a man hurl a shaving-cream pie at a fallen news mogul in the seat of government.

Observations from a newer cruser.: Queen Mary 2 (QM2) Cruise Review by bigdog_ewl
Overall Member Rating
Observations from a newer cruser.
Destination: Southern Caribbean
Embarkation: New York (Manhattan)
This was our second cruise. The first was a trip to Bermuda from NY over ten years ago and we did not like it very much. We booked this trip late after our planned trip to Hawaii did not work out. We did not have super high expectations but liked the fact that the cruise was 15 days and departed from NY. We enjoyed ourselves very much. I don't think we are going to become full time cruisers but we would think about going every few years. It was nice being in the islands when it was so cold at home. I am going to focus this review on the ship and not talk about the destinations.
1. Clean. The crew was always cleaning and painting.
2. We often wondered where all the people were. It never felt crowded
3. I thought the crew response to the Noro virus was excellent. I did feel bad for the people impacted. I never washed my hands so much in my life and was lucky not to get sick. Once at the More planetarium the person behind me sneezed all over me. I was mad at that.
4. New years with Vibz in the lobby was a great time. They played over two hours straight without a break. My wife does not drink. Near midnight they were passing out glasses of champagne for everyone. A crew member noticed my wife was not drinking and got her a glass of soda water to toast with. Thank you !!!
5. G32 was too small and they allowed smoking. Because of this we only went one night.
6. Winter Garden appeared to be only for the art auctions. What a waste.
7. Shops were fun to browse but did not buy anything.
8. My wife and I enjoyed going around the ship and stairways looking at the art. Near the end of the trip we could tell where we were by the paintings.
9. I liked the atmosphere in the commodores club. My wife liked the chart room.
10. Dressing up was fun in the beginning but got a bit old by the end of the trip.
11. Tendering to shore always went well but I wish every port could be at a dock.
12. Bar service was very good and they never complained about getting soda water for my wife who had the soda sticker.
13. We did not go to the casino.
14. We met the captain twice and he was very friendly both times.
Britannia Club
1. Service was very good every night. By the end of the trip they knew our likes and dislikes.
2. I thought the portions were correctly sized for me. Only gained 4 pounds ?
3. I appreciated the extra options on the 'club' menu.
4. Good non meat options for my wife.
5. The best way I can describe the food is to think of the best wedding or hotel food you have had.
6. The deserts were very good. Enjoyed the flambE and the cheese trolley several times.
7. The people next to us at dinner did not speak very good English but we had some pleasant exchanges. They often were finishing dinner when we were arriving.
8. It's amazing how hard the crew work with such little time off. They still were always pleasant.
We ate once at Todd English and were not impressed.
1. Had to ask the wine steward twice to fill my glass.
2. Appetizer was comically small.
3. Risotto and the tuna were both over cooked.
4. Dessert was much too large. Carrot cake and two large plates of petite four. More food in the carrot cake as both our appetizers together.
5. Tables were too close together.
6. Other people we talked to liked it so we might have hit it on an off night. I also had a bad experience at another one of his restaurants so I might have been biased from the start.
Kings Court.
1. We only ate lunch once and got some cheese one other time. It had no appeal to me because the food and service was so good in our dining room. The one day we needed to get off the ship early we got room service.
2. We saw passengers with the most disgusting personal habits. People sneezing then grabbing tongs to get salad and children spilling food all over the place. Gross. We called it the plague floor. It was better after the Noro breakout and they staffed it better and did not let passengers touch anything.
3. We wanted to try the Chefs Kitchen but they did not show a non meat option for my wife.
1. The room attendant was excellent. She was friendly without being obtrusive and room was always well maintained.
2. On deck 12 you do feel more motion then on the lower decks.
3. With the holiday season more children were on board and hanging out at the deck 12 pool. We sometimes had children running down the halls or talking loudly.
4. We did have the new flat screen TV in the room.
5. Room service was nice if we missed lunch on shore but the menu was limited. Did get some port and cheese one night as a snack when we planned on going to a late show and music.
1. They did a great job of getting people in the holiday mood.
2. Lectures were good.
3. Planetarium show was popular and interesting.
4. The headliner,Dez O'Conner, on new year's was great.
5. I enjoyed going to the different venues to listen to music. Some string quartet or harp music before dinner. Maybe listen to Vibz or piano jazz before going to bed. None of the performers were exceptional but always enjoyable.
6. The classical concerts were nice on sea days.
7. The dancers and singers were fun.
8. Only complaint was the 'Crazy in love' show. Just terrible.
1. The aqua spa was great. Not too long ago water was a precious resource on a ship now we have pools with bubble benches, steam showers and reflexology basins. Amazing.
2. The waiting room was a great place to read, relax and watch the over ambitious jog past.
3. Had three massages, two were very good and one was just ok. My wife said her treatments were great.
4. I was a bit concerned that the red alert sanitation protocols in the rest of the ship did not appear to exist in the Canyon Ranch spa.
5. Good fitness equipment. Took a spin class once and it was just ok.
6. Spa staff works for Canyon Ranch vs Todd Engish where they are Cunard employees.
1. Great ship
2. Good food.
3. Great crew Less

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Hi, I am here to help. Please allow me a few to read your answer carefully to respond the best possible.
I am sorry that you are going through this. I actually do agree with you on this. Whether or not she is being honest is a fact to debate. However, I would say that this is disrespectful. I do think that most men would agree with you on this and me being a woman I do not consider this behavior is "normal" and do believe she should take your advice on cleaning when he is not there. I do not see the necessity of needing to sleep over. Even if she feels she needs to do this in order to get what she wants with the house she is going about it the wrong way. She should really consider your feelings in this and respect you. About the fact if something is going on or not would be a reality based in the emaik
you found that sure raises suspicions.
If you want to stay or not really depends on how you are feeling as well as
how long you choose to have patience and accept this. It seems as though
you have spoke to her and she is not seeing things from your view, so if this continues it really depends on you. As well as if she is willing to lose you over this.
I told her last weekend that I wanted out and that this situation is just to much for me to accept. She has been constantly calling, emailing, and trapping me at home to profess that nothing is going on, that she sleeps upstairs and he downstairs. She is not letting go and wants to plan a vacation together. She says going to the house that she pays for for just one night every other week is her personal alone time and that I should understand that.
It really would be up to you if you believe this or not as it could be true, but still if she wants to be in a relationship she does need to compromise. That is what a relatonship is all about plus those emails is what is also concerning.
fThere are alternatives since she can go when he is not there.
She seems to care about you, but this is really about whether or not the two of you are on the same page about what is right or "wrong" in a relationship
Hi Are you still with me?

The runs were short, too short for a preseason that is already half over.
With just two weeks before their District 8-5A opener against perennial power Waco Midway, the Shoemaker Lady Grey Wolves failed to finish rallies against 3A Llano and lost to the Yellow Jackets in four games — 25-21, 25-21, 21-25, 25-11 — Friday night.
"My girls tend to get a little 'laxed in games and I constantly tell them they can't do it," Shoemaker coach Merdith Shaw-Moore said. "To be honest with you, for some of them, it's a norm for them. When I got here, a lot of things were normal and what I'm trying to do is get them out of the norm."
Llano scored the final 13 points of Game 4 to get the win, closing out the Lady Grey Wolves (7-4) who had the Yellow Jackets playing on their heels in the final points of the first two games.
"I think it was nerves a little bit," Shoemaker senior outside hitter Tearra Roberson said of the stalled runs. "It's a mental thing. I know that my team can do it and I believe in them, so I think we can do it."
Llano led by at least five in all four games, but the Lady Grey Wolves seemingly played at their best from behind, forcing multiple game points in the first two games. But they never had enough to come all the way back.
"I think as a coach, I've got to condition them a little more. A lot of people don't understand how much endurance and conditioning you need to play volleyball," Shaw-Moore said. "The fight is there. I'm pleased with them fighting and not just quitting. That within itself is improvement and it's pleasing to me."
Roberson and Aria Price led Shoemaker with 10 kills apiece. Roberson added seven blocks and Price four. Naiya Porell added 12 digs and Anessa Pitts had 14 assists.
Down 0-2 in the match, Shoemaker dug out of an early 10-5 hole with a team effort in Game 3. Five different players stepped up with points to take a 13-12 lead following a Roberson block.
Later, a Llano serve to the net gave Shoemaker an 18-17 lead. After kills by Price and Roberson, the Lady Grey Wolves led 23-21 and won after back-to-back hitting errors by a shaken Yellow Jackets offense.
"We didn't push as hard (in Games 1, 2 and 4). Game 3, we were more consistent and I think Game 4, we just let it go," Roberson said.
Takeyra Powell scored back-to-back points in Game 4 for a 4-1 lead, but Llano took an 8-7 advantage on seven Shoemaker hitting errors and led 11-9 after a block by Amanda Morgan.
Out of a time out, a Roberson kill made it 11-10, but the Yellow Jackets were able to pull away on six points by Llano team captain Cierra Jordan in their match-winning run at the end of Game 4.

Finalist: Apple iMac Check Prices
The new Apple iMac is worthy of applause for many reasons. Its built-in 15-inch flat-panel display rises from a small dome-shaped base that requires only a modicum of desk space. Because its hardware is designed to work closely with its software, the iMac is unusually easy to set up and operate. And the system ships with a combination DVD-R/CD-RW drive and plenty of digital-media applications, so you don't have to hassle with purchasing and installing extra hardware or software.
In the end, however, it's all about the neck. The hinge connecting the iMac's display to its base is a marvel of engineering. With just the slightest touch, you can adjust the display's position. And as soon as you remove your finger, the display stays precisely where you left itnot moving a millimeter. How did Apple do it? The developers are keeping the details close to their vests.
Whatever Apple used, one thing is for sure: The iMac has one of the most amazing necks since the days of Audrey Hepburn. (Apple Computer Inc., www.apple.com,

Food Channel's top ten dessert trends for 2011: two out of ten ain't bad
If you hear it from the Food Channel, then it must be true. This crew's latest list -- of top-ten dessert trends -- includes mass wedding cake genocide, tableside theatrics, Cinnamon Twists from Taco Bell, beer paired with doughnuts, two-fisting nuts (and yes, "two-fisting" is being used as a verb here), cupcakes as nosferatu, an epitaph on how people are maybe greedy bastards or maybe not -- with exactly two accurate, useful trends out of ten.
I suppose that's better than none. Here's what the Food Channel is serving up now, and my response:
9. A Hint of Floral.
Food Channel says: "We're seeing lavender, especially, with little touches of it in baked goods such as cupcakes and macarons. You can find lavender syrups, and lavender-infused sugars in teas and yogurts served in some restaurants. Even a chain as mainstream as Ruby Tuesday has introduced a new lavender lemon-drop cocktail. Edible flowers, always popular as a garnish, are coming back in vogue as part of the aromatic and flavor experience."
I'm saying: This trend prediction is accurate. But it would take a helluva lot more than a lavender-infused cocktail and a mediocre salad bar to entice me to set foot in a Ruby Tuesday. A team of oxen couldn't drag my ass in there.
8. A Touch of Sweetness All Day Long.
Food Channel says: "This trend is about frequency, not quantity. In tough economic times, we seek to soothe ourselves with small rewards and little luxuries. So it is with desserts. Maybe it's a slice of pastry at breakfast, or fresh organic strawberries added to the oatmeal. At lunch time, we might order the Cinnamon Twists at Taco Bell to cap off our cheesy double-decker taco meal.
"Perhaps we swing by Starbucks for a cake pop afternoon snack. After dinner at home, it might be just a piece of good quality chocolate from Dove or Ghiradelli. Dessert is no longer about death-by-chocolate over-indulgence, it's now about sweet little rewards that help get us through the day."
I'm saying: Bullshit. People getting butt-rodgered by the still puny economy are white-knuckling it and cramming Hostess cakes into their gobs half a box at a time; organic strawberries are too freaking expensive in these "tough economic times" to put in your mouth, let alone a bowl of Quaker oats, and the Cinnamon Twists from Taco Bell have never been and never will be trendy for any reason. And if Dove and Ghiradelli are examples of good-quality chocolate, then the current Denver mayor's race is a good example of two gentlemen engaging in polite, scholarly debate.
7. Desserts in the Raw. Food Channel says: "Yes, the raw-foods movement has entered the dessert realm. Don't know if the act of biting into a fresh crisp apple could be considered trendy, but how about if it was a raw (uncooked) cupcake? Today you can find raw and vegan versions of cupcakes, cheesecake, ice cream cakes, moon pies, tiramisu and many more. Sure, it's a bit on the fringe side, but it's getting bigger all the time." I'm saying: Cupcakes are turning into the undead dessert to the point where they should all be decorated with little capes and fangs. Raw cupcakes, huh? This brings to mind images of customers lined up at a dessert counter and a server with a hairy mole and a hairnet coming by with a Tupperware bowl and a spatula and scraping batter across each of their outstretched tongues. Sure, it's a bit on the fringe side, but these Food Channel lists get weirder and weirder all the time.
6. Whole Grains and No Grains. Food Channel says: "This is a food trend that's all about health. Whole grains are huge. If you can treat yourself to a satisfying dessert and also get a few g's of fiber, well, that's a win-win. We're seeing brown rice puddings, oatmeal crisp dessert toppings, and pies made with whole-grain crust. On the flip side, there are those who -- due to restricted diets -- need to avoid grains all together. More and more restaurants are accommodating those needs, including on the dessert menu. Gluten-free is found on nearly every menu now -- or will be soon. It's become trendy, even for those with no need to go gluten-free." I'm saying: This is another accurate trend prediction. Colon-cleansing whole grains are absolutely in vogue, and gluten-free is the new Atkins diet. And for those without actual medical reasons to shun wheat, there will always be the next thing to either load up on or avoid that will pop up somewhere around the moment that T.G.I. Friday's decides it's time to jump on board -- at least a decade from now.
5. Desserts for Grownups. Food Channel says: "Call this trend the maturing of America's sweet tooth. We're seeing milkshakes with a splash of rum, wine paired up with gelato, and beer partnered with doughnuts (okay that one's maybe more adolescent than grown-up). Restaurants are also using liquor add-ons to chocolate desserts as a way to boost check averages and offer the guest a little something extra. Want a shot of Baileys in that hot fudge sundae? It's just an extra $2.50."
I'm saying: Are they envisioning doughnuts made with beer, soaked in beer, floating in beer, served alongside beer, or maybe just a doughnut slid onto the neck of a bottle of Bud Light? Any/all of these options could be coming to a trailer park near you, so get dressed. Food Channel would be better off sticking to publicly fellating Eleven Madison Park in New York.Next Page

JERUSALEM (Oct. 27)
The upward re-evaluation of the West German mark to 27.32 American cents caused Israel's foreign exchange market to shut down yesterday since the new value of the mark was not to be posted in European markets until today.
The bank of Israel reported that the re-evaluation has added several tens of million of dollars to Israel's foreign exchange reserves, much of which is held in marks.
The German commercial attache, Eduard Dickman, said that West Germany has not asked for any goods to be exempted from the tariff reduction on industrial imports which the European Economic Market is about to negotiate with Israel. The ECC is expected to reduce duties on imports from Israel by 45 percent over a period of three years.

Old advice(33 Posts)
Just wondering what advice you have heard from parents, in-laws or other generations which would be well out now.
My mum believes babies should sleep on their front as then they have to lift their heads to scream loudly making their necks stronger. I pointed out the risk of cot death and she pointed out that 3 of us survived it. She also took to leaving baby downstairs as my dad would fuss at every sound or movement. No monitors in those days!
She is quite accepting that it is up to us on how we bring up our own children but has said it'll all change again after a while.
My mum used to put me at the bottom of the garden when my colic was really bad (as did her mum). She despaired of my sling/ brisk walk solution as she was convinced nothing would stop the screaming. I am pretty sure SS would be knocking on the door these days.
Thankfully my mum worked with small children and babies up till retirement so is fairly 'in the loop'.
She does roll her eyes at trends though and has done for years - she said ignore the books and new 'fashions' ("don't be routine obsessed or too middle-class-posh-hippy, do what works for you and your baby" her precise words).
My parents: Have you tried zinc and castor oil to waterproof his bum before bed?
Everyone I meet seemingly: Why not give him some baby rice? It will help him sleep.
And the classic- he's a big lad, you'll not feed him yourself.
Mainly to do with milk and weaning. She couldn't accept there were other formulas on the market except for Cow and Gate. When DS had a reaction C&G I put him on Aptimel which he was much happier with, she kept asking me when I was going to put him back on C&G.
When DS was 8wks she started badgering me to wean him, she really struggled to accept it was 4mths at the earliest. She nearly had a fit when I said "it's recommended to stretch them out to 6mth.
My DM (who is a CM still active with kids of all ages) was horrified by me putting dd straight onto finger foods. She would be an inch from dd any time she had even a soft bit of brocoli.
My gran bless her soul put loads of sugar on everything as 'it helps baby digest the food better'. From my mother in law when baby didn't sleep through at a few months "your milk probably isn't good enough!"....when we bed shared she also used to ring every day to check my DD was still alive as she assumed only she had her best interests at heart!
I was told to ween at 4months. And not to bother avoiding caffine, eggs, seafood, pates, or things x
Oh I'm hearing them all from either DM, MIL or SMIL (DH's step mum)
DM and SMIL especially just cannot accept that it is no longer recommended to give babies water to drink, they are despairing in this heat, assuming that DS is dying of thirst!
DMIL can't understand why I don't plan on using all manner of lotions and potions on DS, (Her response was 'oh but you HAVE to have a johnsons baby' ) er....no I don't.
SMIL just cannot get her head around the concept of car seats and why you need one and thinks I am mad for spending £175 on an isofix car seat.
I daren't tell any of them I plan to do BLW when he's older....I just know how that will go down.
Lizhow my grandparents did the same. When my parents first took my older brother to visit them she was horrified when they dipped his dummy in sugar and sprinkled sugar on his scrambled egg "otherwise he won't eat it". We loved visiting our grandparents as we got all sorts of things we weren't allowed at home.
My mum was fairly obsessed with us letting ds cry. She used to park my pram in the porch at home and let me cry.
I've rarely let ds cry, we've not really needed to & I can count the times on one hand, in three years we've had him cry for more than 10 minutes & we kept popping back in. Now she commends me on my patience & tells me I'm a more natural mother than she was! It's nice she can now see there are other ways!
My mother was utterly obsessed that I should have a "cat net" because cars want to kill babies by lying on them......
My poor poor cat was shit scared of my DS for the first 18 months....she would have rather gone head to head with a dog than lie anywhere near him!!!!
Cats not cars!!!
DP's aunt told me to "shut DS in the nursery to exercise his lungs".
She also told me how on the first night when her first grandchild had come home from the hospital she took him for the night to let her daughter rest and gave the 3-day-old baby nothing but water to drink... "He screamed and screamed and screamed all night"
My mil said dh slept through from 6 weeks and if he cried she wouldn't go into him anyway, she told me to do the same
The other day my friends mil refused to believe they now tell you not to eat liver due to high vit A and she was told to eat it raw (50years ago)
Ha! I'm glad I'm not alone!
From 12 weeks my DM was obsessed with weaning!
Give her a rusk you silly girl your milk isn't enough etc etc.
"She's only got colic because your milk isn't right."
"Here look I bought some cow & gate let me make her a bottle " (whilst DD was feeding from me!!!!) I almost swore at her for that!
"All babies need a dummy" DM bought every type of dummy she could find as I'd said 1. DD refused them & 2. I wasn't to bothered that she didn't want one. (Apparently I wasn't trying hard enough! WTF!!!)
She thought I was mental for making my own food for DD & for waiting to wean her!
DM was a fan of telling me how much better DD would sleep if I put a rusk in some formula & bottle fed her! Geez!!!!!!!!
DM also said she longer for the day I would stop BF DD as she "was desperate to feed her herself"
Well that just fuelled my BF determination
oooh it feels better to get that lot out
My friend (who is 3 years younger than me and has a 16 year old DD) told me she put weetabix or baby rice in her bottle in the early weeks to fill her up and help her sleep through.
My DS is 20 months and has only just started sleeping through on the odd occasion!
Another friend who has a 20 year old asked me had I started weaning DS when he was 3 months old! (It was the done thing 20 years ago)
MIL popped DH into the Silver Cross after a feed (formula, of course) and then parked him at end of the garden for four hours. Then the routine started again. For months
Mil and seven SILs asking r every time I saw them 'have you put her on Carnation milk yet?'
Mil asking me if I had given her cod liver oil on a daily basis.
SILs pointing out how 'surprised' they were that I 'allowed' oh to take dd out alone.
I had about 10 years of that crap before I learnt how to stand up fr myself.
I got told by MIL I developed pre eclampsia in DS pregnancy because I was vegeterian and didn't have enough iron!!
Then that DS had colic because he was formula fed SMA and not cow and gate!
Then that I should let DS be outside for an hour each day regardless of the weather in his pram for fresh air as his lungs are immature due to being premature!
This was 6 years ago and she better now be so annoying this time!
Although to be fair my DM is really bemused (and insulted) at all the 20-30somethings declaring no-one breastfed in her day. She says this is actually a myth, it was just the exclusive BF guidelines ended sooner and mixed feeding was openly talked about. More women FF but by no means was it unheard of to BF.
"Oh, it all would have been formula" and telling her how people breastfeed - which some have done - will get you short shrift indeed.
As will the idea that if a child 'vocalises' it is always crying
and must be ostentatiously dealt with in Starbucks. This is her bugbear with some 'modern' mums: she'll mutter about how the baby isn't crying, isn't cueing to be fed- they're making sounds as part of their development and shouldn't have a dummy shoved in their mouth or be fed (if not hungry) to shut them up. She's a slight old hippy and to be fair knows a lot about speech and language development, which she believes is currently - more than ever, she thinks - stifled by some parents keen for either a socially acceptable baby or to be 'seen to be' loving/attentive, so some kids get smothered when they are actually just copying sounds and learning their voice.
So it works both ways I suppose...
My mum breastfed all of us but there was a lot of pushing of formula. Have tags from when we left hospital with general info (name, address, weight) on one side and an advert for formula on the other with space to write in the amount of formula to be given and how often.
Jenny That's interesting because my mum describes it as 'unusual' even at the time that she FF me (I was in the SBU for some time and very small, suckling issues etc' in contrast to my siblings) and it seems EBF for a short while followed by mixed feeding was the norm/expectation.
I wonder if, like now, it was a regional thing?
She is now infuriated when my friends tell her what 'her generation' thought - which they've been told at NCT and it's more like what HER mum was told!. When back in her day NCT existed, women did use slings, there was a natural birth movement (which she says was quite aggressive and asked her to 'justify' her epidural when she had twins!! Blimy, sounds like a secret society), and a huge number of theories and so forth out there. This was the late 70s-mid 80s when she had her family.
Mind you her experiences with early, very high-pressure militant natural birth stuff (which left a friend of hers with injuries and an oxygen-starved child) has made her suspicious of philosophies and theories now. I can't imagine someone asking you to 'justify' pain relief now like you'd let their side down!! I reassured her that nowadays NCT don't do that!!
My father and brother informed me that my breastfeedinv my child in front of them would make them 'very uncomfortable' (still gonna do it, obvs). My siblings and I were all 80s kids and my mum said that bottle-feeding was pretty-much the norm then.
It must really vary area by area then. Some of the things coming up on this thread are much more like my grandma's generation than my mum's (and I'm a relatively old pregnant lady myself!).

I graduated at the top of my class with a degree in IT and several appealing job offers. After scoping out my options, I signed on as a systems analyst at a manufacturing plant for a Fortune 500 company, where I was tasked with supporting a real-time production reporting system developed by the corporate IT staff.
Sunday evening, prior to my first official day of work, I received an urgent call from the plant indicating that the system was on the verge of going down. My predecessor was already on his way to the islands, so I ended up working the entire night to get the system back online.
Sometime around 8 a.m., I rushed home, bleary-eyed and beat, to shower, change clothes, and return to the plant an hour later — as ready for work as I could be after a difficult and sleepless night. I was 15 minutes late.
My new boss, the plant controller, greeted me at the door and let me know, in no uncertain terms, how much he appreciated my showing up late on my first day. When I pointed out that I'd worked all night, technically on my own time, he was unimpressed and reminded me that 12-hour days were expected. He had never mentioned that fact during the interview.
Later that day, he brought me a pager and instructed me to carry it at all times. As the weeks passed, he got in the habit of setting it off at all hours of the day and night; when I called in, he'd ask some dumb question. I think he just wanted to make sure I was still wearing it.
The job turned out to be a 70-hour weekly grind, with those extra hours kicking in at the most inconvenient times, with never a word of appreciation. Once, on a Saturday, when I had rented a U-Haul truck to move into my first home, the call-out was long enough that I had to pay extra to keep the truck a second day. When I asked if I could bill the company, my boss told me the extra expense was a built-in consequence of my job. Reimbursement? No way.
Another time, about a year later, I got married and slyly chose a honeymoon spot in the most remote camping area I could find. Just as we finished setting up our camp, a ranger on horseback arrived with a message from my boss: major emergency; return to work immediately. Sheesh! After I resolved the problem, my boss reminded me that although I had taken a week of vacation for my wedding and honeymoon, the weekends on both sides belonged to him.
I don't know how, but I managed to stick this out for four years, hoping to vest in the company's retirement plan. I didn't make it. In the end, just one year short of vesting, I reached the end of my rope and accepted a position as IT manager with another firm. I still work there.
The sweetest part was that, since the authors of the system had long since left my old company, my ex-boss had no choice but to beg me to sign on as a consultant. I'll let you use your imagination as to what I told him.
The last time I saw my pager, it was making gurgling noises in the bottom of a urinal at my favorite bar, more than several Jack-and-Cokes into my departure celebration.
