There are times when it just stinks to be a parent.
These little eggs represent a moment like that. A moment when I didn't want to be a parent.
Aren't those beautiful eggs?
My T is a nature watcher. He had been watching some Eastern Bluebirds for some time. In his bird watching, he notice they kept flying into and out of a post. He came running into the house one day, his face flushed with excitement.
"Momma, I have to show you something wonderful."
He hurried over to our fence post and told me to look into the hollowed out post.
T was thrilled to serve as grandfather to those eggs. He monitored them and gave me daily reports.
Then horror struck.
As we pulled up into our drive after taking the boys to swim practice, we noticed the contracted electric company in the field behind our house. A man with a bit of a Danny Bonaduce look about him met me at my truck as I was pulling out kids.
"We have your electric off for a minute while we reset the pole. We had to pull around your car in front of the gate and knocked over your post but we reset that."
Panic. Panic. Panic.
"Which fence post? Please not the tree post?"
"Ya, but we reset that."
"No, no, no. That had a nest with new eggs in it. My son has been watching them."
"Ah, sorry to hear about that." And he walked away chewing on his toothpick.
T took off running to the fence. The nest was there but no eggs. We began searching the field. No eggs. No eggs. Search. No eggs. No eggs.
Where did they go?
We held each other and cried. Then we prayed for the birds knowing they are not human but that they do feel loss. Then we talked about life circles and moving on.
We also hypothesized about where the eggs were. Did the birds pick them up? We kept seeing the birds go in and out. Were they harvesting their materials for their new nest?
Here's the deal. I have a crazy life that I grew up with. I never learned to cope with anything. I just tucked things away or fixed them. Ya, that works for a while. Until your early 20's and you have a breakdown. Oh, that was just me? My biggest parenting cause is to teach my kids coping mechanisms. I will not allow them to wallow in sorrow or ignore it. There is a balance. There is a process. And that is what we started working on.
We discovered that Eastern Bluebirds will lay another set of eggs each year. We were hopeful that the nest of eggs lost was their first set.
T would come in and tell me daily about how the birds seemed very upset. His own face reflecting deep sadness.
Fast forward two weeks. I was sitting on the swing on our front porch talking to my mom on the phone when I noticed Mr and Mrs Bluebird hustling in and out of the post. Something seemed suspicious. Not the usual activity.
Honestly, I was nervous about looking into their little hole.
But I did.
Then I yelled.
And quickly ran to get Tristan.
All the while forgetting that my mom was being held in my hand.
I told Tristan to look inside.
Here, experience it with him.
A BABY BIRD!!! And eggs under it! How in the world??? I don't know, but we are so thankful and thrilled.
T's fight with the electric company was not over. He made a sign that read: Do Not Disturb. Baby Birds Growing. And then provided an illustration of the consequences. Electric men being attacked by birds.
Brett thought we were a bit extreme assuring us that the electric company was finished with us and had moved down the line. Haha, we had the last laugh. The very day the sign was posted, they came back. They read the sign. They did tread lightly.
Granddaddy T was looking out for his baby bird.
But some moments are like that. Stinky, sad, hide under the covers sort of moments. Then sometimes they are made right. Glorious, happy, shout from the mountaintop sort of moments. And that's a good summation of parenting in general.
We fight the good fight. No matter the day. We parent on. We love. We teach. We embrace. Day after day.
{Bonus Game} My brain is fried. I'm the mom to 5 kids. Two being 19 mos and 3 mos. I barely sleep. I spelled yous for use, fas for face, and setting for sitting. These are the ones I noticed and corrected. But for your entertainment and enjoyment, feel free to notice my other brain slips. I did it for you. {Just go with it, will you?}

Updated at 6:26 p.m.
White House spokesman Jay Carney grumbled about House Republicans' plans to revise the STOCK Act — legislation that has already been passed in the Senate that explicitly makes it illegal for members of Congress, their staffs and many executive-branch employees to trade stocks and other securities based on inside information learned on the job.
"I was shocked to see that even this simple bill that would ensure that everyone plays by the rules is being weakened," Carney said Wednesday of the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act. "This should not be a partisan issue."
Carney charged that House Republicans are attempting to water down the bill by stripping certain provisions, including an amendment to the bill -- backed by Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. -- that tightens laws against public corruption, including a ban on gifts to public officials of more than $1,000 in value.
The insider-trading ban is "being weakened behind closed doors by House Republicans who seem to be caving to pressure from Wall Street lobbyists," Carney added.
Carney also noted that the GOP plan strips an amendment from the bill that would require so-called political intelligence firms to register and file disclosure reports--a provision that was inserted in the Sen. Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican. Such firms try to glean information from lawmakers that is then passed on to investors. Brendan Buck, a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, retorted that 25 Senate Democrats also voted against the Grassley amendment.
"Surely these distinguished Senators below weren't, to use Carney's language, "caving to pressure from Wall Street lobbyists" when they voted No, right?" Buck said in an e-mail.
But Carney wasn't the only one suggesting that the House GOP was moved by pressure from Wall Street.
"It's astonishing and extremely disappointing that the House would fulfill Wall Street's wishes by killing this provision," Grassley said today. "The Senate clearly voted to try to shed light on an industry that's behind the scenes."
Although the Senate version passed 96-3 last week, some GOP lawmakers said that all White House officials should be covered by the insider-trading ban. The House GOP plan widens its reach to cover about 30,000 members of the executive branch — including the president, vice president, Cabinet secretaries and Senate-confirmed officials, said Brendan Buck, a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner.
"Particularly with this administration's deep reach into the private sector, we believe executive branch officials should not be exempt from the rules and greater disclosure required of members of Congress," Buck said.

MWF Seeking BFF
One of the new blogs I discovered in 2010 was MWF Seeking BFF. She didn't end up on my best of list for 2010 because she gets her own post. I think that's fair. 😉
Rachel moved to Chicago recently from another city, finding herself friendless. Not that she didn't have friends she'd left behind, but friends you leave behind when you go to a new city aren't exactly the people you call up to do a TV marathon with on a lazy Sunday. You need new friends for that. So Rachel decided to get some new friends, and that's what this blog is all about.
The great thing is that Rachel explores all aspects of friendship, from disappearing friends to work friends to having a famous friend. I don't think there's a rock she hasn't looked under when it comes to friendship.
Not only that, but she's put herself out there so she'd make friends. She's gone speed friending, taken an improv class, and started a book group.
Here's some of my favorite posts of hers:
- She paid someone to spend time with her.
- She talks about friendship chemistry.
- An ode to book clubs! With a limerick!
- A post about online friendships, which made me think of quite a few bloggers I'd love to live closer to.
- How babies change friendships (oh, boy, do I know this all too well).
- Would-be friends.
In addition to making me think about nurturing the friendships I have, she's inspired me to be on the lookout for new friendships. I'm hoping with to make some new mommy friends so I can have play dates for my baby and mommies to commiserate with. But it's going to take some work, and putting myself out there, but reading Rachel's stories make it seem a lot less daunting.
Rachel's got a book coming out in 2012 called MWF Seeking BFF, which will be published by Ballantine. In the meantime, I encourage you to follow her on her journey as she finds a new BFF. Be sure to subscribe to her blog, follow her on Twitter, and friend her on Facebook. I have!
In the meantime, why don't you tell me about your BFF? I recently reconnected with an old BFF and it's like the years melted away. It's too bad we were out of touch for so long, but we picked up right where we left off. I think those are some of the best friendships you can have.
This post was written at the request of Booklicity, which I was happy to do because I've been a fan of MWF Seeking BFF since early 2010.

'Kill a camel' to cut pollution concept in Australia
Breibart|Big Government
Australia is considering awarding carbon credits for killing feral camels as a way to tackle climate change.
The suggestion is included in Canberra's "Carbon Farming Initiative", a consultation paper by the Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, seen Thursday.
Adelaide-based Northwest Carbon, a commercial company, proposed culling some 1.2 million wild camels that roam the Outback, the legacy of herds introduced to help early settlers in the 19th century.
Considered a pest due to the damage they do to vegetation, a camel produces, on average, a methane equivalent to one tonne of carbon dioxide a year, making them collectively one of Australia's major emitters of greenhouse gases.
In its plan, Northwest said it would shoot them from helicopters or muster them and send them to an abattoir for either human or pet consumption.
"We're a nation of innovators and we find innovative solutions to our challenges — this is just a classic example," Northwest Carbon managing director Tim Moore told Australian Associated Press.
The idea was among those accepted for discussion by the government, which is seeking to "provide new economic opportunities for farmers, forest growers and landholders" if they come up with ways to cut emissions, according to the document.

Tan Kin Lian
September 5, 2011 by staff
Tan Kin Lian, Mr. Tan Lian relatives showed courage, effort and commitment in participating in the last presidential election (PE). He was courageous in revealing her reaction on sensitive issues related to the Internal Security Act. On his way, he spoke calmly, frankly, clearly and creatively apply his mind to try to extend the president's role to defend the president is not stupid.
Many insurance holders still recognized but not identified as a person speaking in favor of people. Of course people who spoke during the series of mini-bonds that have been recalled, but I think his support base is reduced when they were thrown into question its prestige in NTUC Income.
Kin Lian continued to show his attention to policyholders with their insurance guide MINI sold in 7-Eleven stores. All these are a good start on the way to gain recognition and support of the towns on their way to the voice of the people. But first, the recognition of the odds against you and the risk of an unexpected event are in order.
There is overwhelming evidence that he was weaker and its persistence in the campaign finally split the votes, the risk of a remote possibility of choosing a different kind of abnormal.
Pre-bid public that the candidates fighting for the establishment voters will split the vote, here the weakest candidate among the three is clearly evident.
Loss of support from social groups, media and other civic groups, said even before the appointment.
Currency recognition Jee voters say that their sound programs for the Office of the European Parliament and on the other hand the weakness of Kin Lian in these two departments throughout the campaign.
Compared to the many thousands of Toa Payoh stadium for the rally on Tuesday Say Jee relatives Yio Chu Kang Lian stadium to rally the night of Kin Lian attracted much less.
The well managed through the national campaign by the defense team of experienced opponents.
Comments would have gotten if he had continued his private study or survey information of third parties.
The most important thing is narrow in the Times report the day's reflection, and effectively portrays his concession Jee say the two are not going to win. The highlight of his low point, he revealed his lack of confidence to win this campaign. And voters do not want to waste their vote on a loser. They want their vote to count. If there is a big step, and then vote for their second choice, which could take a small step towards what they crave. The effect is powerful. Jee In other words, the effect works to a lesser extent.
In the same report Straits Times, legends cries of "Watch out for an abnormal result, the ex (PAP) MP warns." "He warned that voting for the underdog just because a candidate who seems to be a leader." This has the effect of voters away from all considered the underdog to the leader.
Kin Lian said he is an expert in statistics, when he acknowledged his defeat after visiting just 3 stops to have the group of days. Therefore, as a statesman, would surely have recognized the remoteness of their chances of winning, but still must have continued to benefit as a candidate to the electorate in the hope of getting enough votes to improve its position for the trip declared that is to continue speaking for the people of Singapore.
Of course, he has every right to grow their own support base.
But in my opinion, continues to walk the last PE caused an unusual choice of a different kind, when the votes he determines the winner. This made Lian relatives in white guilt and undid the good work of bringing live debates, and public interest worthy of the role of President Elect. And so, it would be good Kin Lian honestly admit that he made a miscalculation and that may not think through the consequences.
The last presidential election was actually a rare choice. But Mr. Lian Tan relatives will not be seen as the only candidate doing that if they just apologize for his miscalculation and misjudgment.

Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
Are brass knuckles legal in the state of Georgia?
They are legal to have and carry, as long as you do not carry them concealed. Here is the Georgia statute:16-11-126.(a) A person commits the offens e of carrying a concealed weapon when such person knowingly has or carries about his or her person, unless in an open manner and fully exposed to view, any bludgeon, metal knuckles, firearm, knife designed for the purpose of offense and defense, or any other dangerous or deadly weapon or instrument of like character outside of his or her home or place of business, except as permitted under this Code section.(b) Upon conviction of the offense of carrying a concealed weapon, a person shall be punished as follows:(1) For the first offense, he or she shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and(2) For the second offense, and for any subsequent offense, he or she shall be guilty of a felony and, upon conviction thereof, shall be imprisoned for not less than two years and not more than five years.
I do thank you for your help but the answer you gave I already read about.
I can only answer the question asked, You specifically asked if they were legal. Nothing else.I confirmed they were, and provided the statute. If you need additional information, please let me know.
I am sorry. If i wanted to conceal them would I need a permit to do that?
I appreciate the reply. Unfortunately, the law does not allow you to carry knuckles (regardless of what they are made of) in a concealed manner. The only one who can carry concealed, and is licensed to do so, would be a firearm.

New in this belief system- long distance relationship
Hi everyone;
I have always logically accepted that we can love more than one person at same time but I have never experienced it to see how it works. It has been always emotionally a challange to me.
Now at the point in my life that I think I have to go through this. I have a boy friend who lives in Florida. I live in Michigan. We started seeing each other when we were both married and in same city. Now we are divorced and he lives in different state. Still we tried to work it out with visiting each other very 2-3 weeks. We knew we both need time after divorce to figure out what we want to do with our lives and what is that we need from relationship. We were not supposed to be exclusive sexually but some how I had the impression that we are loyal and faithful emotionally.
I just found out last week that he has fallen in love with another woman that I knew he is dating.
I knew he logically believe in polyamory but I wasn't sure if that is what he is trying to experience.
Anyway, it came out as a shock to me first and hard to digest but now after analyzing it and thinking about it I know that I want to continue my relationship with him but also I know I have hard time dealing with all the emotions and feelings.
My main problem and actually question is long distance.
How this can work in long distaance. How can I keep up with him and her.
How can I work this out? where should I start?
Is anybody here with this experience or is anybody that can help me with some advice?

Chick-fil-A Day: Massive, nationwide protest for free enterprise & First Amendment; Wendy's blows it; bomb threat at W. Va. franchise
Check out Twitchy's amazing social media photo album of today's Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day. In cities across the country, thousands of happy and peaceful customers turned out to show their support of the First Amendment and free enterprise.
Here's a nice video montage:
Readers send more reports and pics:
Reader Rick: "I just wanted to let you know that I have never seen the lines at our local Chick-Fil-A so long. I live here in the Inland Empire of Southern California, and the Redlands Chick-Fil-A had a line (of people) about a half a block long, and cars around the block as well."
Reader Mrs. Mitchell:
"We wanted to pass this on to you folks at Chick-fil-A in Atlanta–Here is the line of NJ supporters waiting as they also supported Chick-fil- A today. In a word, WOW!
The closest location for us was about 30 miles away in Woodbridge NJ. We wanted to avoid the lunch rush by going later. Apparently others had the same idea as there were about 150 customers ahead of us when we got in line at 2:04. All nationalities and all ages were patiently waiting in the line. Thirty-three minutes later we got to order. We waited about 30-35 minutes and the folks in line were as polite as you can imagine.
During our wait the owner of the Woodbridge franchise came out and thanked us for our business and let us know all of his employees were so pleased for the support-and-very surprised at the size of the crowd. Each of the servers and Cathy (clean up lady) were so polite, helpful and very friendly. I was doubly impressed since they had been working non stop since the store opened. We also chatted with the center's security guards and they were just as pleased as punch that this support was shown by such an orderly crowd. One of the guards told us that the line had been even longer earlier.
It was a great trip – the food was good, the people in line were friendly and happy to be able to make a statement and the security guards were happy that every thing was orderly. Needless to say, there were no reporters or news cameras any where to be seen."
Wendy's steps in it.
Liberal intolerance rears its ugly head.
A bomb threat at a W. Virginia franchise.
Bigoted Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel gets his comeuppance:
The city GOP filed a complaint with Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan accusing Ald. Joe Moreno (1st) of violating state human rights laws with his threat to block Chick-fil-A from opening its first free-standing store in Logan Square because of Cathy's stance.
Party vice-chairman Chris Cleveland argued that Chicago Democrats have long used government funding, zoning, permits and enforcement to "hammer" political opponents — and gotten away with it because it's "difficult to prove."
But Cleveland charged that Moreno's public condemnation of Cathy's religious beliefs — and Emanuel's initial public support of Moreno — lifted the veil on the insidious practice that threatens to undermine religious freedom and the constitutional guarantee to free speech.
"Some have said Ald. Moreno and the mayor have dialed back on this. Well, the truth is, if you catch a mugger and the mugger apologizes and gives the money back, you still don't decline to prosecute. The crime has occurred," Cleveland said during a news conference at City Hall.
"If aldermen do this and they get away with it, it has a chilling effect. Businessmen get the message and they don't make the campaign contributions that they want to … . If you disagree with the power structure, they will prevent you from doing business here."

Mayhem # 1263698
About MeGrowing up in Las Vegas I have been around the performing arts my entire life. Enjoying and performing in community theatre has been my favorite pass time. I have been fortunate enough to be in a few TV commercials for FOX Network during High School. Now, I am moving to San Francisco to attend FIDM. I have a lot of friends in the industry in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and San Fran and have been encouraged to take the first step in becoming a model. Model Mayhem was suggested to me by everyone. I feel very natural in front of the camera and want to explore my options in modeling.

Sven F.Sweden
Västra Götaland
For those knowing me well, it would probably be obviuos that I would be interested in a game set during the 1952 Olympic Games in Finland's capital (called Helsingfors in one of the country's two domestic languages, Helsinki in the other). Thus, when I found Tori at my favourite retailer's, I bought it and couldn't take my eyes from it.
Last Saturday (25 March) Anna and Simon had taken a weekend off from their children and spent one evening with Sofia and me. Tori was the first game to play.
"It is now the summer of 1952. We are at Salutorget in Helsingfors, the Olympics is soon to start and we have travelled from different parts of the country to sell our goods on the city square. We sell white ice-cream, yellow lemonade, green vegetables, blue fish, red flowers and purple… well, not purple souvenirs, but the souvenir stands are purple."
So I started and we chose what historical provinces to represent. The rules were set out and we started playing, with Sofia first (as the Norwegian rules state that the player having last been to Finland goes first!).
Sofia: Savolax
Anna: Satakunda
Simon: Tavastland
Sven: Österbotten
(I choose on purpose to use the Swedish names of the provinces. That is not due to bad knowledge of how words for Finland's geographical features should be used in an English context, but because the Swedish-speaking population of Finland right now needs all support it can have.)
This was one of the strangest plays I have ever been part of. The game was fine. Our strategies were fine. My play was… well, as one might think of when it comes to a novice playing a game only known from its rules.
Thus it started off well. I concentrated on claiming the majority cards for purple and combined it with one or two lower colours. Then, however, there was always a blue customer on my purple entrance spot and nobody wanted to sell fish. Not only once, or for one or two rounds, but always!
My tactics, or my ability to change strategy throughout the game, was probably weaker than I would have needed, because my points became fewer and fewer. I lacked the cards I needed, I had too many cards of the wrong type and overshot the hand limit, the purple silver card was lost, the purple gold card was lost, all other majority cards were also lost…
After 65 minutes of play, feeling desperate and only wanting the game to end, I bought the fifth and last yellow lemonade expansion piece. That gave me one single point for equaling the lemonade majority and ended the game.
All players' points were now tallied. In front of Simon was a bunch of cards, while Sofia and Anna were not far from the same amount. The two bonus cards (for obtaining a set number of expansions in certain areas or of certain colours), were also checked. Sofia was asked by somebody whether she had fulfilled one of them, answering
– Er… yeah, of course, why not? That was fundamental.
– Well, I answered, I did not complete my area card…
That bad it was, and the final standing was as follows:
Sofia (Savolax): 13
Anna (Satakunda): 15
Simon (Tavastland): 16
Sven (Österbotten): 4
It felt as if my eyes were black. I don't mind losing a game if I have done a lot right but an opponent having done it… righter? And if I have played wrong? Fine, I'll do it better next time. But this… I had longed for a play of this game and then the result was a complete fiasco – une débâcle à la meilleure or the like.
However, a minute later Anna stated:
– Now I want to play this again, when I know what it is about.
That was nice. We didn't play it again this evening, but now I suppose we will try it again. And I will play quite differently…
Love letter
This was the night of the Earth Hour, and as we approached the time set for that universal happening, Sofia lit candles and whispered to me that she wanted to play Love Letter. (That sounds strange, I see when I read it, but I let it stand as written!)
Yes, I had thought something similar, as Love Letter is a rather simple game, with few but big cards, easily seen also in poor lighting. So when we had gone through the eight types of cards we soon had started – and after 20 minutes or so it was finished, long before the Earth hour was over.
Usually I don't like elimination games, as sooner or later somebody has lost and must watch the others play without taking part. Here, of course, it's different, as the elimination only lasts for a minute and then next round starts. Love letter is easy, simple, basic and just cute, so I kind of like it although it doesn't fulfil any of my true wishes for a game. A nice pastime it is!
But – when we played this game two years ago, a player won when she had her fourth token. Now, according to this copy's rules for a 4-player-game, only three tokens were needed to win. I wonder where that change came from. I will try to convince us all of following the older rules next time…
Final result:
Sofia: 3
Sven: 2
Anna: 0
Simon: 0
Anna and Simon had bought Saboteur at a retailer in Göteborg/Gothenburg the same day and Simon had read the rules on the bus home. Another card game but completely different and it sure qualified as a board game, as the card forms a board after a while.
However, this play was hampered by us misunderstanding the rules on a vital point. Also the strategy was misunderstood, or at least "not found" within our brains during play. The game ought to be played this way:
1) If the miners (maybe led by the saboteur) reaches a wrong goal card, play isn't interrupted, but continues until the right goal card is reached (or the players run out of cards).
2) The miners (non-saboteurs) are supposed to work together and not put different stop-cards in front of each other only because it's fun to do it.
While we had not understood these basics, the game instead went like this.
First round: we easily got to the correct goal card and nobody was a saboteur. The four gold cards distributed turned out to be single gold so we were all tied on 1 point.
Second round: the saboteur got us to the wrong goal card, where the round ended and the saboteur got 4 points, now leading on 5.
Third round: the saboteur got us to the wrong goal card, where the round ended and the saboteur got 4 points, thus sharing the win with the previous saboteur on 5 points.
This is a game that will be much funnier next time, when we play it correctly.
Final result:
Sofia: 5
Simon: 5
Sven: 1
Anna: 1
It wasn't very late when we had finished Saboteur, but 1) Sofia was supposed to work quite early next morning, 2) we would lose one hour of sleep due to the agony-inducing invention of so called "daylight saving time", and 3) I had promised to do the dishes. That took longer time than playing Love letter and Saboteur, so I too was rather tired when we split up and left…*
What to play next? Well, I think all three games from this night are in our good books so we might start from there. There will also very most likely be a surprise for my fellow gamers, but I cannot say anything about that here, as they sometimes read my posts….

"American leadership in world affairs has never been more vital than today. Such leadership can be sustained only with an engaged and informed electorate. Since September 11, Americans, in growing numbers, are eager to learn about the world…" -Noel V. Lateef, Current President
The Foreign Policy Association was founded in 1918 as the League of Free Nations Association, named after President Wilson's vision for an association of nations that would "provide mutual guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike." In 1923, the Association was reconstituted as the Foreign Policy Association, a non-profit organization committed to the study of international questions facing the United States. Today, the Foreign Policy Association works to develop awareness, understanding, and informed opinion on U.S. foreign policy and global issues, encouraging citizens to participate in the foreign policy process.
Great Decisions
The Foreign Policy Association is well known for its Great Decisions Global Affairs Education Program. The program is used to engage citizens in learning about the world. Established in 1955, Great Decisions works to inform the electorate of pressing foreign policy issues and gives Americans a chance to influence foreign policy decisions. Today, the program is active in 47 states and participants number about 400,000.
The program is comprised of discussion groups, made up of people who are interested in international issues. Talks are centered on the Great Decisions briefing book that contains eight timely global topics. Also included are the use of the Great Decisions Television Series and the Great Decisions online newsletter. The program culminates with the publication of the National Opinion Ballot Report, which includes the participants' opinions on U.S. foreign policy issues and is presented to the White House, departments of State and Defense, and to members of Congress.
The 2007 program topics include: the Middle East, Climate Change, Mexico, Migration, South Africa, War Crimes, Central Asia, and Children.

Each time Brett Favre makes an out-of-season move, the guy who gets thrown under the bus, is, interestingly enough, named Bus.
Favre's agent Bus Cook is the go-to guy for reporters when Favre wakes up and decides he either is going to play or not play another season.
Cook spoke humorously of that ordeal with reporter Stephen Rodrick in this month's Men's Journal:
Three miles down U.S. Route 98, a visitor sits in the empty waiting room of a two-story office building. It belongs to Brett Favre's agent. There are no magazines. There are no pictures of the prince. The visitor waits. And he waits. He watches a paint crew arrive. He watches a paint crew depart. He watches paint dry.
...Finally, a Southern almost-gentleman appears. He's the man behind the salty phone voice, and his face and ears are beet red. There's no suit. Rather, he's dressed in the uniform of the affluent adult child — shorts, sneakers, and golf shirt. He sticks out his hand.
..."Brett talked to god------ Ed Werder at ESPN, says he needs ankle surgery. Now why did he do that? I've got Childress calling. I've got reporters calling all damn morning. God-----, why does he have to be such a god------ drama queen? Play, don't play, god----, people are getting sick of it. I'm getting sick of it! Why does he have to talk to these people? What good does it do? Ed Werder at ESPN! What's he ever done for anybody other than say, 'Look, look, Mommy, I got this first, ain't I special?' You got problems with surgery, talk to your wife. Why talk to god------ Ed Werder?"

Editorial review
People that believe that there is no better way to store data than good old CDs or DVDs know that disc burning software can mean the difference between success and failure. You can do it using some default programs like Windows Media Player, but the results are not being satisfactory in each and every case. Nero Burning ROM is probably one of the best solutions for the tasks like that.
The program is the industry leading product for burning CDs, DVDs. Aside from its major job, the program does encoding, compilation, recording, and disc exploration. It's not meant to be used by the beginners that have no idea of what all these configuration options are for though. If you are looking for a simple tool that has presets and burns discs using default settings, you wouldn't like Nero.
The program works with a bunch of file formats like MP3, MP4, OGG, WAV, WMA, FLAC, AVI, MPEG, MOV, and VOB, to name a few.
The best thing about this program is the fact that it gives you a lot of freedom and control over your settings. You are allowed to configure each and every aspect and this fact makes this tool highly appreciated by advanced users.
The Options section contains several tabs like Expert Features, Ultrabuffer, Database, Misc, File Browser, Sounds, etc. All of them are 100% customizable: you can enable and disable multiple features to make the output disc look exactly how you want it. Modesty aside, this application is the best disc burner you can find.

College freshman running back Matt Bernardo of Lebanon Township had a career day on Saturday as the Mules upset Ursinus, 21-19.
The former Voorhees standout football athlete, rushed for 239 yards and all three touchdowns for his Muhlenberg team to lead the victory in his first start at tailback.

Bernardo had 191 yards by halftime, with TD runs of 10, one and one yards to give his team a 21-0 halftime lead. A 60- yard run that set up his third TD was the Mule's longest rush of the season.
Bernardo's 239 yards on 39 carries was the fourth-most yards in school history in a single game. He rushing was important on the cold, windy day that stymied his team's passing attack.

Male (AFP) Feb 9, 2012
The new Maldivian president has made urgent cabinet appointments to try and contain violence that has spread across the archipelago since his predecessor said he was forced to resign in a coup.
President Mohamed Waheed appointed retired colonel Mohamed Nazim as defence minister and lawyer Mohamed Jameel Ahmed as home minister, presidential aide Mohamed Shareef said Thursday.
"Even though the appointment of a national unity cabinet is taking time, the president made these two urgent appointments to take charge and control the spread of violence since Wednesday evening," Shareef told AFP.
Waheed was sworn in Tuesday just hours after his predecessor announced his resignation in a televised press conference.
Nasheed later claimed that he had been forced to step down in what was an effective coup d'etat orchestrated by opposition leaders with the backing of the security forces.
Violence erupted across the holiday resort island chain on Wednesday as supporters of the former president stormed police stations and burned government buildings in outlying atolls.
In the capital Male, thousands of protesters clashed with security forces near the police and military headquarters.
Shareef accused Nasheed of inciting his supporters to unleash "anarchy" on the streets.
Maldivian police declined to give details of any casualties, but denied media reports that as many as three people may have been killed in the unrest,
Police Chief Inspector Abdul Mannan Yoosuf confirmed that violence in the capital had spread to far flung atolls, but added that tourist resorts were unaffected.
The Maldives is dependent on tourism and its resorts, popular with high-end honeymooners, are mostly located on otherwise uninhabited coral islets .
Yoosuf said police were planning a "joint operation with the armed forces" to bring the situation under control."
It is the Maldives' worst unrest since clashes in 2003 following the death of an inmate at the hands of security forces, an event which sparked the process of democratic change on the Indian Ocean islands.
In Washington the State Department called for calm and said a senior US envoy would visit the Maldives on Saturday, but stopped short of describing events as a coup.
Nasheed told AFP he suspected Waheed, his former vice president, had known of a plot to overthrow him.
Deposed Maldives president 'at risk', say climate activists
"Tell your national leaders: We are deeply concerned about the recent coup that forced (Nasheed) from office and is currently keeping him under house arrest," 350.org said on its website, which provides a Web form for emailing the petition.
"President Nasheed was the first democratically elected leader of his country and a global voice for action to address the climate crisis. He needs your support to ensure his safety," the organisation said.
"Please put diplomatic pressure on the leaders of this coup to avoid violence and to work for a peaceful, democratic solution to their conflict."
Nasheed, speaking by telephone from the capital Male, told AFP that he resigned under the threat of violence from some 18 "middle-ranking" police and army officers.
"They told me if I didn't resign they would resort to use arms," he said. "I took it as a threat. I wanted to negotiate the lives of the people who were serving in my government."
350.org, a global grassroots campaign calling for a sharp cut in greenhouse gas emissions to reduce the concentration of heat-trapping carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, praised Nasheed as a "tireless voice for climate action."
Many small island nations are already reeling from the impact of rising sea levels and more intense storms, both impacts of global warming, according to scientists.
Nasheed -- who once held a cabinet meeting underwater to dramatise the plight of low-lying island states such as his own -- often said that beating back the threat of climate change "is a matter of life and death for us."
"Now it is he specifically who is at risk," 350.org said in launching the appeal.
Separately, the makers of "The Island President" -- a soon-to-be-released documentary about Nasheed that won an award at the Toronto International Film Festival -- said they were "deeply concerned" for his safety.
"As filmmakers who spent two years off and on with President Nasheed while making 'The Island President,' we witnessed a leader committed to transparent governance, multi-party democracy and the struggle for human rights," they said in a statement on Facebook.
"This struggle includes his leadership in the fight against climate change that so threatens the Maldives and the rest of us. This is not the first time that Nasheed has suffered a political setback in his fight for justice in the Maldives. We expect this is just the next chapter," the filmmakers said.

"Brandy's brother, Ray J, has been looking for love — but now it's her turn! On January 28, she got cozy with rap superstar Flo Rida at Haze Nightclub at Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. "The two arrived together holding hands and having an intimate conversation,†an onlooker tells In Touch. "They are definitely hooking up.†And that's not the first time the musical duo were together. They hung out at the Y100 concert in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., in December. And at the Universal Motown Republic Group Grammy bash at the W Los Angeles on January 31, Brandy made sure to stay away from other men and hung out with her pal, singer Kelly Rowland, instead. Brandy only has eyes for Flo Rida. "Guys tried to hit on Brandy and she ignored them,†says an onlooker at the Grey Goose-sponsored event on January 31."
If this is true….shouts to Flo. If its not, better luck next time Brandy.

Hero Name: Scarlet Scorpion
Legal Name: Kathryn Beringer
Age: 30
Birthplace: Las Vegas, Nevada, United States of America
Marital Status: Single
Rank: Patroller
Fighting Style: Defender
Weapon of Choice: Sonic/Sonic
Origin of Powers: Mutation
Code Name: @Proust
Special Accolades: Geas of the Kind Ones, Vanguard Medal, Archmagus
Kathryn Beringer (aka The Scarlet Scorpion) was born as Christy Johansen to Pamela and Derrik Johansen. Pamela died delivering Christy in the hospital and Derrik seemed to be in mourning throughout the rest of his life. Derrik, a small bar owner (Ref: Derrik Johansen File# 5387-JOH), was neglectful and resentful of Christy. A series of failed business ventures by her father forced Christy to "grow up" faster than her peers by taking care of herself and their meager home. Derrik constantly spent his business profits on gambling attempts in order to increase what income was actually used toward food and utility payments. At the age of 13 she witnessed her father's brutal murder as a consequence to his involvement in a criminal trial against local crime lords (Ref: The Family File# 67378-JOH).
During her college years at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, she took a job at a strip club as a means to make money. After a few years she accepted a position in a high society call girl service where her skills behind closed doors was highly sought after. At the age of 26 she changed her name to Kathryn Beringer to break away from her history and started her own business in the same trade. Financial and anecdotal records reveal she was highly respected for her business savvy.
On her 29th birthday she planned to spend a weekend with a frequent customer to her business, Mark Vargis. According to reports, Vargis proposed marriage to Kathryn and was refused. After a heated arguement, Vargis started to physically and sexually assault Kathryn. Her screams of pain and anger developed instantly into a weapon, which she instinctively used against Mark Vargis. He was killed and she found her way to a medical center.
It took several months for Kathryn to recover from her wounds. She lost her left eye and has several other scars over her body. After she left the hospital she gathered her remaining assets and sold the business. Kathryn's whereabouts were unknown until she registered as a hero at Paragon City, Rhode Island. Psychiatric reports from the hospital revealed Kathryn was confused about her future and angry at her situation.
Several tests were conducted concerning her "powers" while she was hospitalized. According to Dr. Alexander Carlyle, Kathryn Beringer's vocal cords have changed due to the physical, mental and emotional trauma she experienced. The effect of the change is Kathryn can manipulate the sound waves emanating from her throat at will. Normal conversation does not create the spectacular effect she can cause; Kathryn needs continuous training and use to maintain her abilities.
It was rumored she was once romantically involved with a registered hero of Las Vegas named "The Grand Battler". Registration files were documented to have been filed but the files are currently missing. Observers postulate it was The Grand Battler which helped focus Kathryn to use her powers to benefit society.

NBA — 29 April 2013
Dwight Howard's emotions got the best of him on Sunday as he was ejected in what could be his final game as a Lakers.
As he was headed to the locker room, Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak pats Dwight on the back. That seemed harmless enough, but does Dwight turn and say something to Kupchak? It certainly appears so. I looks very much as if he's looking at Kupchak, although you can't tell for sure.
You be the judge.

The organization, based in Alexandria, Va., estimates that about 20,000 nurses are involved in hospice care, most of which takes place in patients' homes. They are part of teams that include doctors, home health aides, social workers, chaplains and volunteers.
The job often attracts nursing veterans, says Chris Cody, a vice president for the national hospice organization.
"It takes a certain maturity," she says.
But, she says, the work is rewarding for most. Though there is a shortage of hospice nurses, it is not as severe as the shortage in conventional hospitals and nursing homes.
Pat Gibbons, a hospice nurse manager in Greensboro, N.C., says the job often is a refuge for nurses who are frustrated by long shifts and heavy patient loads in other nursing jobs.
"It takes them back to the essence of nursing ... hands-on care-giving of a patient and a family," she says. "They know they are making a difference."

According to AutoLabo, the creators said the current build opens the door to more "eco-tuning," leaving aside questions about the look of huge fenders and nearly-impossible additions that cover the

Holland America against children: Nieuw Amsterdam Cruise Review by Caroline8
Overall Member Rating
Holland America against children
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
The breakfasts and lunches at the Lido deck buffet were wonderful. The food was delicious and the staff very helpful. It was a tight squeeze along the main walkway there since there were tables along the way, those should be removed. The main dinning room staff was wonderful and very helpful, seemed like they really enjoyed the children and they made the kids paper animals and such. The More French fries and burgers poolside were great, some of the best we've had, the poolside pizza wasn't as good, but who can compare to Princess's pizza? The evening shows were one step up from high school productions, the magician was terrible and the shows lacked creativity. Recycled Percussion was the only show that was good the entire week. I have to mention that the crew put on a show for the guests late one night and it was really nice, the "professional" performers need to take some pointers from the crew. We really appreciated the crew taking the time to do this.
We do not send our children to the onboard daycare activities, we stick together since we're on a family vacation, so I can't say anything about those programs since we don't ever use them. We had a lot of trouble booking shore excursions since we had children with us. Holland America says it welcomes families but they make it very difficult for the children to participate in anything other than the daycare. I tried booking the sting ray tour in Grand Cayman, they wouldn't accept children under 8 years old due to safety reasons, but they would book the kids on the swim with dolphins/sting ray tour which was double the money. I've never heard of little children swimming with dolphins, we've checked into it at several locations and dolphin swims always have age restrictions, what happened to safety? Holland America charged full price for children on the fury catamaran in Cozumel even though the fury catamaran company charged half price if you booked with them directly(you can only book directly if you're not on a cruise).Finally at the shore excursion desk they are passing out brochures for trolley tours in Key West, which say under 12 ride free, but Holland America charges full price for all children, even lap sitters. If Holland America isn't trying to exclude children from shore excursions then they are trying to make a buck off the kids. I don't have a problem paying for the kids participating or the ones taking up a seat, I don't think a 3 yr old is going to be drinking much beer on the catamaran. I booked through Moby Dick tours on Grand Cayman and they were the BEST. The kids aren't allowed in the aft pool, but that's where all the games and what little music they had was. So if the kids wanted to swim, you had to choose. The midship pool had a moveable roof that took up a lot of deck space and they kept it closed on our sea day, so once again, if we wanted to swim with kids it was like swimming indoors at a nice hotel instead of on a cruise ship. The passengers were left jockeying for the 7 spots in the sun while the roof was closed, they claimed it would be windy if it was open, I think that's part of being on a ship at sea, right? Finally after several requests they did open the roof all the way, if they didn't that day would have been ruined. I didn't pay for a Caribbean cruise to sit inside all day! The pool side staff was very slow to remove any dirty dishes. You couldn't hear any announcements if you were at the midship pool either. Surrounding the midship pool were cabanas that you had to rent for the day, so those took up a lot of deck space.
The staff wasn't pushy about drink cards, buying drinks or specialty coffees which was very nice. They had the best iced tea, freshly squeezed orange juice and the coffee was decent. The cruise director, Eric, was really funny but unfortunately the only times we saw him was to introduce the shows. He needed to be out at the pools during the day. I know Holland America has an older clientele but they seemed really bored at the pool all day. We were the entertainment it seemed like(our children are very well behaved and we had many compliments about that). I think having a few poolside games wouldn't be a bad idea or just put some music on the speakers if they're trying to save money with no band at the pools. They did have a Catholic priest onboard and it was such a blessing to have daily mass along with Sunday 5:00 mass and Saturday vigil mass. The anytime dinning reservation crew was not nice, they made it difficult to make reservations. The gift shop did not sell any children's tshirts, they said they had them out for 1 day at the beginning of the cruise and that's all. They didn't offer much for at sea sales like other cruise lines do. I thought the shop was very over priced (even for a ship)and had little to offer. We usually all get tshirts from the ship, this time none of us did. The shore excursion desk was not too helpful and they could care less about us. (maybe because we had kids?) You would think that they'd want the business from 8 people. We really enjoyed the ship size and passenger capacity but the layout of the ship was not good. It was very closed in, not many open spaces. There must have been something wrong with the engines or propellers because there was a lot more vibration on this ship which could be very bothersome in the dinning room. Overall, we were disappointed with Holland America and we probably won't sail with them again. There were the good points that I mentioned above but we had too many negatives on this cruise to go with them again. Less

Cabin review: 2017
The cabin was larger than the other ships we have sailed on. We were sleeping 4 to a cabin, we had 2 cabins. There was a pull down bunk bed and a pull out couch. The bunk bed was VERY low over the bed and went across your heads which made for several head knocks throughout the week. The pull out couch was very worn out, the fabric was getting torn and needed to be replaced. 3 closets next to vanity with TV, they each had fold down shelves which worked nicely. You must use your keycard to keep the lights on which was very annoying. Fully stocked minifridge in each cabin which didn't leave much room if you brought your own beverages onboard. The bathroom was larger in size. The shower was good but had the mounted body gel/shampoo/conditioner which didn't seem to work that well.

Shortly after I made this post about the councilman's seeming nonchalance over exceeding his office budget, the DMN published this editorial, reporting that Dave Neumann plans to "reimburse the city for the excess expenditures," to the tune of about $8,000. It seems he had a change of heart over the weekend, and the DMN commended Neumann for that.

|Prospects for a Just and Lasting Peace: The Case of Sudan
|Dagne, Yasmin
|Bass, Gary
|Woodrow Wilson School
|Class Year:
|This paper seeks to answer the following question: why does war emerge so soon after peace? To this end, this paper situates an understudied war – the Second Sudanese Civil War - within the relevant academic and policy debates about negotiated settlement stability in order to glean important lessons about, uncover recurring patterns in, and modify current theories of civil war and conflict resolution. This paper also proposes an integrative model of civil war termination based on the dominant theories of conflict resolution and on the conflict resolution experiences of the Second Sudanese Civil War. Specific to Sudan, this paper evaluates the conflict resolution successes and failures of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement. To this end, this paper argues that the focus on Interim period institutional arrangements in the CPA ensured short-term peace whereas the lack of focus on strong post-Interim period pressures to ensure full implementation undermined long-term stability. The CPA was an overwhelming success in civil war termination narrowly speaking but a limited success in conflict resolution broadly speaking. The grievances of the people of the marginalized areas of Sudan – Darfur, South Kordofan, and Blue Nile - were overshadowed by a preoccupation with ending the North-South civil war. The distinction is critical: the CPA formally ended the war between the Government of Sudan and the SPLM/A but the partial implementation and explicit violation of several protocols of the CPA by the Government of Sudan throughout the Interim and post-Interim period render the CPA a limited success in conflict resolution. The tragic irony of the CPA was that by ending the war, the SPLM/A removed the greatest pressure Khartoum ever had to address the national problems of Sudan. The main lesson for the CPA is that the limited pressures - restraints on the SPLA and diminished American pressure - during the Interim and post- Interim period allowed the NCP to partially implement and, in many cases, openly violate the CPA. General to conflict resolution, this paper proposes an integrative model of civil war based on the conflict resolution efforts of the Second Sudanese Civil War. The dominant approaches to conflict resolution are temporally truncated - that is to say they only explain segments of the negotiation process. This model aims to explain the entire process – from war to peace. The integrative model analyzes the interaction between "pressures" and the "constraints" to limit action and behavior, respectively, and to ensure full implementation by all players. Thus, war emerges after peace when we – the international community - relax the pressures that created the conditions for peace in the first place. The "mutually hurting stalemate" conditions that render conflict "ripe for resolution" must thereafter be reconfigured to make settlement "ripe for implementation."
