Today is National Waffle Day, and what better way to celebrate than firing up the ol' iron, getting out the syrup and serving up a plate full of the breakfast favorite? And even though the breakfast hour has long passed, you can still join in the fun at dinnertime. Breakfast for dinner is our favorite meal of the day.
Five Favorite Waffle Recipes:
Corn Waffles With Blueberry Syrup (pictured above)
Though this recipe is a little labor intensive, the results are worth the effort. In addition to keeping them from being too sweet, the cornmeal also adds nice texture to the waffles. Blueberries in the sauce are a nice finishing touch.

If you need a recipe for breakfast on the go, give these cheddar and bacon waffle sandwiches a try. The combination of bacon + cheddar + maple Dijon sauce is highly addictive.

This recipe will have you wondering whether you're eating waffles or French toast. But only for a minute — then you'll realize how delicious it is and forget all about your quandary.
Peanut Butter French Toast "Waffles" with Mixed Berry Sauce
Chicken and waffles — if you aren't familiar with this combo, it can seem a bit out there. But give it a go — you'll find it's the perfect balance of savory + sweet. This version recreates those great flavors and puts them on a stick.

Forest Green sign Thierry Henry's former strike partner Luke Rodgers
3:54pm Saturday 1st March 2014
By Ashley Loveridge
3:54pm Saturday 1st March 2014
By Ashley Loveridge
ADY Pennock's penchant for experience has seen him snap-up Thierry Henry's former strike partner Luke Rodgers.
Pennock had hoped to include the 32-year-old for the clash at Gateshead this afternoon, but club secretary Michelle McDonald did not receive international clearance in time for the veteran striker, who has recently returned to the UK from Swedish club Hammarby IF.
Pennock told the SNJ: "We had hoped to get Luke involved against Gateshead, but the international clearance didn't arrive in time."
Rodgers has played alongside Lee Hughes at Notts County and was coached by New Lawn assistant manager Dave Kevan at County Pennock added: "I am delighted to sign Lee and we've agreed a deal until the end of next season."
Rodgers joined Major League outfit New York Red Bulls three years ago and partnered former Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.
His early career started at Shrewsbury Town in 1999. He spent six years with the Shropshire side and made over 200 appearances as they were relegated and then promoted back to the Football League.
In the summer of 2005 he moved to Crewe Alexandra, where he stayed until a January 2007 switch to Port Vale. Two years later he moved on to Yeovil Town following a short loan spell.
His permanent spell at Yeovil was brief, he soon transferred to Notts County in summer 2009, who he helped fire to promotion in his first season.
He completed a move to Major League Soccer with the New York Red Bulls in January 2011. In March 2012, he was released by the Red Bulls after his work visa renewal was denied, and transferred to Norwegian club Lillestrøm. He returned to the English league with Portsmouth in August 2012, before joining Shrewsbury Town on loan two months later in a deal which became permanent the following January.
He signed with Swedish club Hammarby IF in July 2013 Rodgers is expected to make his debut in next Saturday's home match against Cambridge United.

Spectator — April 2002
By Tom Fexas
My Pal Antonio
|Part 2: The Con Job...
The Con Job
(Which brings up an interesting story, if I may digress for a few sentences. These young ladies usually dressed in very revealing clothes. However, if your eyes ever happened to lock onto some cleavage, as a man's eyes are programmed to do, the ladies would get visibly upset, glaring at you as if you were some kind of pervert and quickly covering up. One summer weekend morning we were on one of the boats returning from a sea trial. As we ran up the serpentine river, there were many little boats anchored about with people partying and taking in the sun. Passing one at close quarters, I could not believe what I was seeing. Aboard were Antonio's young ladies–topless–smiling and waving enthusiastically at us as we passed by. I really don't understand women at all.)
Shortly after commissioning the first design, Antonio quickly commissioned two more designs–one bigger, one smaller than the initial boat. Prototypes for these new boats were rapidly produced, and the boats were selling like umbrellas in monsoon season. Antonio had mastered the difficult art of producing a quality boat at a reasonable price. I looked at the volume of boats produced multiplied by the royalty for each and got a warm, fuzzy feeling in my wallet. Hell, if I wanted to, I could retire early on the royalties alone.
The Scam
Today my boats are all over Antonio's country (and the surrounding countries) like shredded Styrofoam cast upon the waters. Antonio owns a vacation home in Miami, has had his face lifted by the famed Brazilian plastic surgeon Dr. Pitangui, and has a garage full of exotic cars. But the boating community worldwide is not very big, and thanks to a network of carefully placed spies, I know where Antonio is and what he is doing. I am watching and waiting, and I have no doubt that in the end he will get his.

'Cougar Town' on TBS: 8 Things to Get Excited for on Season 4
Last we left Jules (Courteney Cox) and her gang there, she had just married Grayson (Josh Hopkins), and her son Travis (Dan Byrd) drunkenly told one of her best friend, Laurie (Busy Philipps), he loved her. Bobby (Brian Van Holt) was still living on his boat, Andy (Ian Gomez) was still hanging on Bobby's every word, and Ellie (Christa Miller) was not-so-silently judging them all.
Note: Spoilers!
1. Now that Grayson and Jules are married, routine becomes a very key player in their relationship. Things start out simply enough on the season premiere that is only a week out from their beach wedding last year. Anything that Grayson does twice becomes a precedent set for the rest of their marriage, but there may be a thin line between a routine and a rut and when Jules worries the passion is dissipating. She enlists Ellie's help to pick a fight with Grayson. You know, just for fun. Ellie's power cannot be stopped, though, and soon Grayson is pressuring Jules to — gasp — take his last name!
2. Terms like "slap out of it" and "cake walk" are not all this group are changing. Realizing that four out of seven is a majority, they decide to start making new rules that stretch into what each other can wear, how they can eat, and what they have to say when certain members walk into the room. Of course, it doesn't take long for alliances to form and the game to be manipulated…
3. The cul-de-sac crew flashes back to see how they met … cute. Jules becomes a bit obsessed with wanting a "meet-cute" moment for her and Grayson since they are now going to be together forever. And in order to prove her point, the gang tells stories of how they ended up becoming friends. Series creator Bill Lawrence had previously said he didn't know that he could ever do such an episode because there might always be a little comparison to Friends' flashback Cox, but he found a way that is equally unique and memorable. Step aside, Fat Monica; here comes Hillbilly Jules!
5. The wine flows even freer — and now in unique locations! Season 3 brought the "on deck" wine glass, but Season 4 brings wine spikes: bottles of wine, two at a time, stashed on the corners of lawns around the cul-de-sac, "like fire hydrants but useful." You know, just in case you're taking a walk and get a little thirsty.
6. Wade and Laurie take the next step — but telling Travis is the hardest part. Though Travis and Laurie do deal with what he said to her on the last season finale, and he is still there for her when she is obsessively worrying about Wade (guest star Edwin Hodge) in the war, ultimately they are still just friends. Nobody wants to break the bad news to Travis when Laurie and Wade end up moving in together, but in true Jules Kiki Cobb form, she can't avoid the "harsh truth" forever.
7. More fun with the show's title cards. Much like Chuck Lorre's end of episode vanity cards, Lawrence previously took a moment and an extra line or two under the Cougar Town logo to make a joke at the network's treatment of his show's expense or his own title. These days the messages are a little different, but they're still an important part of the show for any die hard fan, so make sure to pause your DVR so you don't miss out on any in-joke!
has fun with nudity! In an attempt to keep things spicy in their marriage, Jules and Grayson instigate naked day, full-on Austin Powers-style with fruit covering the sensitive areas in wide shots. It would be a lot hotter if Tom — and later Bobby and Andy — wasn't leering through the kitchen window, though.
Cougar Town premieres on TBS on Tuesday at 10PM.
What are you most excited to see when the cul-de-sac crew returns? Sound off in the comments below!

Topic: The Great British Story: Dundee
Hi all,
Just thought I would share this here. It was a TV program that was on on Tuesday night here in Scotland about my home town of Dundee, and you know I like doing my bit for the Dundee Tourist Board! It lasts for 30 minutes and it can be viewed here if you want to watch it -
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0 … ry_Dundee/
"Songwriter and Deacon Blue vocalist Ricky Ross returns to his home town of Dundee to investigate both its history and hidden landscapes.
Dundonians and local experts guide Ricky through the archives and streets where evidence of his ancestors' struggles and achievements still remains."
Ricky Ross who presents the program used to be the leader of the youth club that I used to go to many many years ago when I was a kid and he is a real good guy. At least he was back then when I knew him! But I suspect he still is! He left Dundee to move to Glasgow and formed the band Deacon Blue who became very popular back in the 80's and 90's, and they had many hits and made a load of albums. So local boy did well and I suspect that some here in the Uk will have heard of Deacon Blue.
Here is the video to their biggest and most successful track Loaded -
There is a bit in the Dundee vid when the 2 people in the program are in and outside Baxter Park, and then on Park Avenue. Now this ain't Park Avenue for all you New Yorkers, this is my Park Avenue where I grew up! My mum lives on the street running down on to Park Avenue, about 20 seconds walk from what you see in the video.
Anyway, I enjoyed the video and just thought I would share it here as I like to share as much as I can about my hometown. I think the main vid in this post can be viewed on that link for the next 5 days only. If you watch it then I hope you enjoy it.
Hugs to you all,

I'm having a pretty great time in Vancouver this week on the Pirate Cinema tour. Granville Island has lots to recommend about it, but I'm especially taken with the electrocution hazard glyphs on the access-plates set into the sidewalk. They even beat the lightning bolts that leap out of electric risers on the streets of San Francisco. What is it about the Pacific Northwest and awesome high-voltage signs, anyway? It's like this is some kind of lost valley where the coelacanth ancestors of Reddy Kilowatt never went extinct.

Porous Pavement and Other Alternative Pavements
This serves as a reminder that porous asphalt pavement is permitted for use in Fairfax County. Porous pavement is best suited to parking areas that are not subject to frequent heavy loads and muddy conditions. Examples of suitable locations are parking areas for parks, churches, schools, office buildings and shopping centers. When considering porous asphalt for a specific site, the design engineer should pay special attention to address its long term viability and maintenance requirements. Refer to Section 6-1304 of Fairfax County's Public Facilities Manual (PFM) for more information.
The County will also consider the use of other alternate paving surfaces, such as grasscrete and geoblocks. Requests for the use of any grass reinforcement system are evaluated on a case by case basis and would be subject to certain design conditions. Please refer to Section 7-0504.3 of the PFM for information on the use of these alternatives. Also, refer to the Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute to obtain more information on these systems.
As a related matter, regarding the use of innovative practices for storm water quality purposes, please refer to Section 6-0402.4 of the PFM. To facilitate the use of innovative Best Management Practices (BMP's), the County issued a Letter to Industry #01-11 (PDF) on October 2, 2001 which details the procedures to follow if you want to submit a request to use innovative BMP's. The letter also refers to a document entitled Guidelines for the Use of Innovative BMP's (PDF). You are encouraged to review these documents as you design your next project. If you have any questions, you may contact the Code Analysis Division at 703-324-1720, TTY 711.

The flu impacts many people each year. One of the best ways to prevent the flu is by getting vaccinated. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that all people older than six months get vaccinated against influenza. Two types of vaccines exist. One type is the flu shot vaccine and the other type is the nasal spray flu vaccine called FluMist.
The traditional flu shot is made with an inactivated or killed virus, which stimulates the body's immune system to fight off the flu. The FluMist vaccine, on the other hand, is made with a modified live virus. The body builds up immunity as the virus reproduces in the nasal passages.
FluMist was developed with healthy adults and children in mind. It is safe and effective for healthy people aged 2-49 years old.
FluMist is not recommended for:
Before getting the nasal spray vaccine, talk to your doctor if you:
While the nasal spray does contain a modified flu virus, it will not cause you to get the flu. FluMist, though, may cause some mild flu-like side effects, such as:
Life-threatening allergic reactions are a rare side effect.
Ask your doctor which vaccine is best for you and your loved ones. Don't wait until the flu is in high gear! Make the move to protect yourself. Remember that it takes about two weeks for the FluMist to protect your body. But the vaccine will last for about a year.

Revised Code changes: What's the impact on your LLC?
By JOSHUA J. STRICKLAND
Joshua J. Strickland
Mr. Strickland
Dworken & Bernstein
in 2010 and splits his practice between the firm's business and commercial litigation department, business transactional department, and his practice in Federal Indian law.
As I mentioned in a previous blog, a few months ago the Ohio Legislature made changes to the corporation section of the Revised Code. They also made changes to the LLC section of the code. The most significant change was to codify the duties of loyalty that a member has to the LLC.
Previously these fiduciary duties were detailed by common law and case law and generally provided for holding money, and property of the LLC in safekeeping as well as avoiding clear conflicts of interest between the members and the LLC. Also, there has been a duty to avoid competition between the member and the LLC that could easily be waived by the agreement of the members in the LLC's operating agreement.
Now, these duties have been codified by the Legislature and a new provision included that prohibits the elimination of these duties in the LLC's operating agreement. No longer can the members agree to completely eliminate the duty not to compete with the LLC. The statute now provides for certain areas of competition to be waived provided that "specific types or categories of activities" are identified in the operating agreement as not violating the duty not to compete and so long as those types or categories are not "manifestly unreasonable."
For those setting up LLCs who are looking to maintain other business ventures that may compete in some way with the new LLC it is essential to ensure that those categories and types of competition are specified as permissible and that all of the members agree to these provisions. For those that are or would be wholly competing with an LLC, it may be best, despite the added expense, to look at forming an out of state LLC in Delaware or another less restrictive state and qualifying that LLC to do business in Ohio.

Copano Bay Fishing Pier Transferred, Fishing License Now Required
FULTON, Texas — The Aransas County Navigation District today assumed control of the former Copano Bay State Fishing Pier, transferring pier management from the state park system to the local district. For the fishing public, this means that a Texas fishing license and saltwater stamp endorsement are now required to fish from the pier since it is no longer a state park.
For more than a year, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has been promoting the Family Fishing Celebration in State Parks, in which adults are not required to have a fishing license to fish within the boundaries of a state park. The purpose is to promote state parks and fishing as a family recreational option and encourage youth fishing.
The department's State Parks Division has operated the fishing pier since 1967, after it was transferred to TPWD from the predecessor of today's Texas Department of Transportation. The pier is actually the remnants of the old causeway bridge over the bay. After a hurricane damaged the causeway, the swing bridge in the middle was never replaced, leaving two sections of causeway sticking out into the bay. These later became the state fishing pier, in effect two piers, the 6,190-foot north pier and the 2,500-foot-long south pier. Two bait and tackle shops, one on either pier, have been operated as a leased concession by Danny Adams of Rockport since the piers opened as a public park. Adams was recently awarded a one year contract to operate the fishing pier after the transfer.
The current transfer has been in the works for almost two years. It is one of the outcomes of HB 2108, a bill passed by the Texas Legislature several years ago that provides a process to transfer operation of state park sites that would be more appropriately managed by local entities. At the time, TPWD sent letters to local governments seeking possible transfer partners. The navigation district contacted the department in early 2004 about the possibility of transferring the pier.

BOLTON'S Ironman road closures have been revealed with just over a week to go until hundreds of competitors descend on the town.
The borough is gearing up for a gruelling weekend of sport with the world's largest Ironkids race on Saturday, July 19 and the Ironman UK triathlon on Sunday, July 20.
To make sure both events run safely a number of road closures will be in place in the town centre and around the borough.
Ironkids is a run only event organised with Bolton Council. It starts at 8am in Victoria Square and children aged three to 14 will run various distances.
Some of the roads closed include Le Mans Crescent, from 8pm on July 18 to 8am on July 21, and Knowsley Street, Howell Croft North and part of Deansgate from 6am to 1pm on July 19.
The Ironman UK triathlon on July 20 will see roads closed in the west of Bolton and in the town centre. Ironman involves a 2.4-mile swim in Pennington Flash; a 112-mile cycle ride through Rivington and Chorley finishing with a marathon to Bolton town centre.
Some roads in Westhoughton will be closed from 6am to 9am to allow cyclists to pass through safely, including Platt Lane from North Road to Park Road.
Chorley New Road will be closed all day for the marathon, from the A58 junction at Beaumont Road to the junction with St George's Road and Chorley Old Road.
Marshals will be present to allow access for emergency services, residents, and businesses.
Shoppers are advised that Middlebrook Retail Park is open as usual.
Passengers who usually get on or off these buses on Chorley New Road, can catch a replacement shuttle bus service between 11am and 11.30pm. Information will be displayed at the bus stops.
The shuttle bus will drop passengers off at specified stops on either side of the road so passengers can connect with their usual bus service.
Managing director of Ironman UK, Kevin Stewart, said: "We have worked with the authorities to minimise the impact of the event on local residents and their continued support of Ironman UK is appreciated.
"The leaflets distributed by Royal Mail and advanced signage on affected roads will help guide residents to plan their day ahead of the weekend.
"In recent years the event has drawn more and more spectators to support and we hope to see another record crowd turning out for the largest ever Ironman UK."
Cabinet member for culture, Cllr John Byrne, added: "We want to make sure both of these events are once again a success for the town and the road restrictions are essential to facilitate both events safely.
"We work closely with Ironman UK and other partners in an effort to minimise disruption.
"This is the sixth Bolton Ironman and the third Ironkids that we're hosting and as we've seen both of these events bring thousands of people into Bolton and vast economic benefit to the town."

Eleven parents of kids with special needs, all of whom have become experts in the special needs field, share the greatest wisdom they received that helped them cope after their children were diagnosed with disabilities.
"I'm paraphrasing our psychologist from years ago when James was first diagnosed, but the best advice I ever got was basically 'Treat the child, not the disability.' Sounds simple, but it was really eye opening to me in the way I was approaching 'the problem' at the time. James's disability is every bit a part of him as his eye color and blood type. There's no changing around chromosomes. Treating his disability like something that can be fixed tells him that you think something is wrong with him. Helping him learn to live and even thrive with his disability shows him that you love and accept him for who he is, and will also get much better results as far as confidence and independence in the long run."
Michaela Searfoorce has four exceptional children, ages 12, 4, 2, and 9 months. In addition to her blog, thefoorce.com, her work has been featured in Special Parent and Big Apple Parent magazines. Searfoorce and her husband recently moved from the UWS of Manhattan to Bay Ridge, Brooklyn to accommodate their ever-growing family.
"Children with special gifts have special needs. Think about it: If your 6-year-old boy was a child prodigy on piano, wouldn't you be going to special instructors, recitals, traveling to concerts? Same thing for a child sports star: You would be paying for special coaches, private lessons, clinics, travel teams, tournaments, uniforms, equipment, etc. Taylor Swift's parents moved to Nashville to accommodate her passion and talent! How different is that from therapy sessions, special schools, private tutors, classes, therapies, diets, etc.? When I thought of it in that context, I didn't feel as robbed—soon I realized that my time spent on my child's "special need" is no different if my child's needs were above or below the 'norm.' The key is early acceptance of your child's talents so that you can help him learn to be the best he can be."
Louise Weadock is a registered child psychiatric nurse, 30-year ASD/SID researcher including research at Johns Hopkins University, and founder of the 16,000-square-foot family gym WeeZee…World of "Yes I Can!" in Chappaqua, NY. Weadock recently launched an autism/sensory learning research nonprofit, Sensory Bullets.
"Let him be a boy first."
Diana Hamilton is a registered nurse who lives with her husband and two sons in Westchester. Her son Dylan was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome at age 7. Read Diana's post on the NYMetroParents blog.
"Probably the best advice I ever got is: You have nothing to lose but time. The more intensive you can get at the earliest possible age the better. You have to listen to your gut; something I read years ago is: If the phone in your gut is ringing, you have to answer it. There's always a piece of you that knows that your child has something going on, that you need to get an evaluation, that the therapist that you're working with isn't a great fit, that the doctor you're working with doesn't get it, and that little piece of you is not going to stop talking to you. And you have to listen to it. You may not know what to do next but you can't ignore it because then you're just going to end up in a situation where you're tearing yourself to pieces ignoring something that another part of you is trying to tell you. I don't want to boil it down to something as prosaic as trust your gut—it's more just that you ignore your own true feelings at your peril. And that goes for giving yourself the support you need.
"Another really important thing that I was told many years ago is that you cannot ignore yourself. I feel that very strongly. If you don't take care of yourself as the caretaker of a child with special needs, you're going to end up paying for it and your child is going to end up paying for it. Not everyone has the money to go out and get mani/pedis, but you must prioritize yourself, you must care for your own soul. It's ultimately to your child's detriment if you don't, because you will burn out and then your child is the one who will ultimately suffer. Caring for yourself could be something as simple as making plans to have coffee with a friend for five minutes. And yes, that may be hard. You may be with your child all day long and there may be no way for you to get away. But you must remember that you are a person. It's very important for me to stress this because people say things like, 'I can't afford to do that'—not just money but time ('I'm needed every second'). But you are not an inexhaustible resource. Eventually…there's not going to be anything of you left. All parents could really use this advice: a break for the soul. They say 'self care.' It's not selfishness, it's not indulgence, it's maintenance. It's critical maintenance, just like you can't expect your car to keep running if you don't ever have it serviced."
Sarah Birnbaum is a former editorial web producer with an MFA in writing who is now a special needs consultant and special education advisor. She lives in New York City with her husband and two children, one of whom has special needs.
"Read Jim Sinclair's 'Don't Mourn for Us.'"
Ariane Zurcher is a writer who lives in New York City with her husband and their two children, one who has autism and one who does not. Zurcher blogs about autism at Emma's Hope Book. The article Zurcher refers to, "Don't Mourn for Us," is an overview of the presentation Sinclair gave at the 1993 International Conference on Autism in Toronto, addressed primarily to parents, published in the Autism Network International newsletter in 1993; read it at autreat.com/dont_mourn.html.
"As a consultant to families that have children with special needs, I have shared much advice and learned a lot from my clients. Yet there is one concept that I always push to get across and that is: No matter what the diagnosis or need, you can never relinquish (consciously or unconsciously) your role as the parent. Don't let the diagnosis overtake your ability to be effective nor rely exclusively on the advice of others in running your home.
"This can be difficult. When in the public eye, different disorders have different connotations. Each person has his or her own perspective and the media feeds into the perceptions. Parents encounter an overabundance of advice from society, experts, teachers, and family regarding discipline, education, intervention, feeding, etc., and too often their own voice or experience gets lost. I remember a parent once asking me if she could discipline her child. She was overwhelmed by the amount of expert advice and almost daily articles surrounding discipline and had simply done nothing. I counseled: You know your child the best and you know what you want for your family. That includes the values you hold dear regarding behavior, achievement, and relationships. Therefore, you must rely on these values to guide you in teaching appropriate social functioning to your children. My role as a consultant is to help you identify these values and come up with the strategies that will help you effectively implement them for use everywhere, but the values must be your own. What works for one family will not always work for another, and as long as you are not abusing your child and can utilize the majority of these strategies across environments, then you can create and follow through on an effective discipline plan for your child.
"It is this advice that my clients have found to be the most helpful, empowering, and supportive. Your family is your own. The diagnosis and needs only dictate the supports you need but it does not take away from your voice or responsibility to love, nurture, and raise your children to function at their fullest potential."
Frederica McLean, M.Ed is a child and family development consultant specializing in behavior management at Living Above Disorder Consulting in Brooklyn. She provides special needs, education, and family development training and consulting in addition to at-home behavior and social skills intervention planning for families.
"After my son was diagnosed, a friend warned me not to 'disable him.' At the time I did not understand what she meant. Now I realize: Having a child with special needs, it's easy to fall into the habit of doing. You want to help them or you're in a rush and you do the things they should learn to do for themselves. And sometimes you're overprotective and scared to let go. As my son is getting older, I'm learning to let him do for himself. Even if it means waking up a few minutes earlier. And I'm learning to let go. It's okay to let them fall; it's part of growing up."
Lisa Quinones-Fontanez writes the blog AutismWonderland.com, which chronicles her journey with her 7-year-old son Norrin, who has autism, and their adventures in the Bronx. She was featured as a "Homegrown Hero" in Special Parent magazine; read the article at nyspecialparent.com/hero-quinones.
"After Josie received her diagnoses, we were told to trust our instincts. Josie is our child and we know her better than anyone else. We are the only experts on Josie. No one else, including her pediatrician, her therapists, or her teachers, knows Josie the way we do. Her father and I always respectfully listen and take into consideration what others have to say, but at the end of the day, we make the decisions regarding her care and education.
"Also, we were told that Josie is a person, not a diagnosis. She is the same baby we brought home from the hospital. There is no crystal ball. No one can predict what the future will be. We need to parent Josie the same way we parent our other seven children."
Jennifer Swartvagher lives with her husband and eight children in the Hudson Valley. Her daughter, Josie, has been diagnosed with dyspraxia and hypotonia, and attends a special needs preschool. Swartvagher blogs at beyondthecrib.com.
"The best advice I ever got was when I asked my daughter's doctor, 'What is her diagnosis?' He looked at me with a smile and said, 'That depends on why you are asking. If you are asking for insurance coding or school accommodations, the diagnosis is XYZ. But the reality is that with children it takes time to unravel, and I don't treat a diagnosis, I treat the symptoms; we will treat the child, who will not to be defined by a label. Labels can bring limitations, and this child has no limitations.'"
Marianne Russo is a married mother of three daughters living on Long Island. She is the president and host of The Coffee Klatch Special Needs Talk Radio Networks, which brings parents a world of renowned experts, resources, support, and most of all, hope.
"Love her for who she is."
Jill Edelman, MSW, LCSW, of Redding, CT, is the mother of a grown daughter with special needs who blogs at ParentingAdultSpecialNeeds.com. She is also the author of This Crazy Quilt: Parenting Adult Special Needs One Day at a Time, dubbed "A must-read for parents of special needs children nearing adulthood" by Kirkus Reviews.
"I am very thankful for the advice I received from a Birth to Three physical therapist. My daughter has a physical disability. When Kari was young, rather than watch her struggle to get a toy by herself, I would hand it to her. The therapist told me that I need to 'sit on my hands' and that 'Kari will figure out how to get it on her own.' As parents, we want to help our children. What I did not realize is that my actions communicated that I did not think that she was able to get it on her own. As Kari got older, when she struggled to learn a new skill like opening a door from her wheelchair, we would strategize together how she could do it by herself. Today, she is a very determined and independent 9-year-old with a great 'can-do' attitude. I am so appreciative of her physical therapists who challenged me to let her do it on her own."

Everyone's talking about Rebel Wilson lately. A scene-stealer in last year's Bridesmaids — she played Kristen Wiig's trashy roommate and mistook her live-in's diary for a "very sad, handwritten book" — the Australian actress became a breakout star in two other roles earlier this year: What to Expect When You're Expecting and Bachelorette; her pilot for the ABC series Super Fun Night also just got the green light.
It's now, though, that's she's becoming a household name as Fat Amy, the I-am-who-I-am collegiate mermaid dancer who gets all the boys and belts her butt off as part of an all-girl a cappella group in the his new film in Pitch Perfect.
Our Chris Azzopardi sat down with this Rebel (prawled on a couch all cozy-looking in a track jacket and hand bling that spells out her name, Wilson) and out director Jason Moore, directing his first film. They chatted in her dry-wit way about stealing the role from Adele, why the gay community will find Fat Amy empowering and her tips for killing an a cappella audition (hint: Lady Gaga).
Moore Rebel
Pitch Perfect star and director on what's so gay about the movie, outsiders and spotting lesbians
Dallas Voice: This is a gay press interview, so all of these questions will be very gay. Rebel Wilson: Oh, cool. It's a pretty gay movie. You've got a lesbian character, and I think most of the Treblemakers, the boy band, are gay. What about that scene where there's, like, nine dudes in a hot tub … naked? That's totally gay.
The gay community can be fickle about gay characters. Did you worry about portraying the lesbian character a certain way so it wouldn't come off as stereotypical? Jason Moore: I don't know what you're talking about. [Laughs] In a way, we were looking at all stereotypes. So yes, she's a lesbian and they mistake her for a man at the beginning — but also, she's got this beautiful shock of hair, she is quite fun and feminine in the way she moves; she's got an amazing voice and she's not afraid to be herself in the world. Are lesbians going to take offense to that character? I don't think so, but we'll ask them.

"... Allah has appointed Talut to be your king." As the king, the leader. In other words, the Mahdi (pbuh). This is a reference to the Mahdi. It is amazing. There is one abjad value, 1979. That gives Hijri 1400. It gives only the date of the Mahdi (pbuh), and that is all. No other. It speaks of a king, a leader, it is directly about the Mahdi (pbuh), insha'Allah. Look, the bigots will be unable to bear his leadership in that time: "How can he have kingship over us when we have much more right to kingship than he does?" We have much more learning. There are teachers and scholars there, so who does he think he is? That is what they say, may Allah forbid. "He has not even got much wealth!" We have wealth and possessions and means. We have political power and means. So who does he think he is when there are people like us around? They say that. That gives an abjad date of 1966. "Allah has chosen him over you and favored him greatly in knowledge and physical strength. Allah gives kingship to anyone He wills." 1989. "Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing." 2036. (Surat al-Baqara, 247) Look, the verse gives the dates of the system of the Mahdi one after the other. Abjad values, one after the other.
And Allah speaks of the Ark, of the finding of the Ark of the Covenant, which Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will produce, as you know. "The sign of his kingship" the seal of the system of the Mahdi, "is that the Ark will come to you," Allah says. Look, the Ark of the Covenant, the Ark of the Prophet Moses (pbuh) is in the Qur'an. "containing serenity from your Lord..." He says that ease and peace, a guarantee of faith, will come to your hearts. "Serenity will come to your hearts," He says. "When the Mahdi (pbuh) brings the Ark and places it before the al-Aqsa Mosque, all Christians and Jews will become Muslims en masse." Our prophet (saas) says that a great mass of people will become Muslims. In the time of the Mahdi (pbuh), before Jesus the Messiah even appears. From seeing the Ark of the Covenant. "...and certain relics left by the families of Moses and Aaron." That is highly significant. Allah says there are objects inside it. "It will be borne by angels." Angels will protect it, says Allah. The Ark is currently hidden, under protection. "There is a sign for you in that if you are muminun." (Surat al-Baqara, 248) What is there evidence of? That the Mahdi (pbuh) and Jesus the Messiah (pbuh) are true, insha'Allah. Almighty Allah will show the Ark as evidence of Himself in that time. The Ark of the Covenant. It is made of rudus idaeus (acacia) wood. "...and certain relics left by the families of Moses and Aaron." It is full. There is one of those tablets that came down to the Prophet Moses (pbuh), and the staff of the Prophet Solomon (pbuh). Part of it, not the whole thing. There is clothing and a great many holy relics inside it. One feature of the Ark is that it preserves things. Allah has worked such a miracle, masha'Allah. The things inside it do not decay. Those objects are not the kind of things that could decay, anyway. They are not made of that kind of material. That wood does not decay. This is a literal description of the system of the Mahdi. Look, "Allah has chosen him over you." 1996. That is one date. The most difficult time of the system of the Mahdi, insha'Allah. With the gemination mark, it gives the date 2027, and that refers to global dominion. "Allah gives kingship to anyone He wills." Global sovereignty. To whom will He give that? To the Mahdi (pbuh), insha'Allah. Wealth and political power and everything, insha'Allah.
Talut was the mahdi of that time. Goliath was the dajjal. "And with Allah's permission they routed them." Abjad calculation gives a date of 2029. This is a miracle. Why not 3418, or 1515, or 4758? It gives 2029. "David killed Goliath." He slays the system of the dajjal, insha'Allah. "Allah gave him kingship and wisdom..." Sovereignty and wisdom, in other words, and fine speech. "and taught him whatever He willed... Allah shows favor to all the worlds."
2024 by abjad calculation. These verses are overflowing, masha'Allah.
"Those are Allah's Signs which We recite to you with truth." Almighty Allah says this. "You are indeed one of the Messengers." Almighty Allah tells our Prophet (saas) that he is one of the mahdis.
"...they said, 'We do not have the strength to face Goliath and his troops today'." This describes a moment of weakness. Abjad calculation gives a date of 1942. The time of the Second World War. The early years of the system of the dajjal. The worst times of the system of the dajjal. It gives a date of 1942.
"We gave Clear Signs to Jesus, son of Mary," 2017. "and reinforced him with the Purest Spirit."
"Anyone who rejects false gods and has faith in Allah has grasped the Firmest Handhold, which will never give way. Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing."
There is no weariness if you have grasped the book of Allah.
Surat al-Baqara is full of secrets. Not just one or two or ten.
"It will be borne by angels," says Allah. You can seek it all you like. Look, Israel is looking for it, those activities are under way now. The Masons and the Knights Templar are looking for it. The Israeli government has set aside a huge budget to find the Ark of the Covenant. Allah says He has protected it with angels. You cannot see it, even if it is right there before your eyes. You enter the cave and it is right there before you, it is covered in dust, but you cannot see it. "There is a sign for you in that if you are faithful." Nobody can ignore that evidence.2013-01-17 10:28:32

I wrote in July about the management lessons to be drawn from organising the Olympics and one point that particularly struck me was that the London 2012 organisers' job continues well into 2013.
First there are the Paralympic Games to stage, then there are venues to be closed, knowledge to be transferred to Rio de Janeiro's organisers, and accounts to be tallied.
The job strikes me as comparable to that of the administrators of companies that go into liquidation or the senior executives of life insurers that close to new business and go into "run-off". Read more

Kershaw stumbles as LA's skid reaches four
LOS ANGELES -- Even Clayton Kershaw couldn't offer the Dodgers better results, and the club was searching for answers following its fourth loss in a row on Wednesday night.
Kershaw had his first rough outing of the season, and the Dodgers fell to the Padres, 7-2, at Dodger Stadium to complete a three-game sweep at the hands of their National League West rivals. It was the first time the Dodgers were swept at home by the Padres since July 24-26, 2006.
The Dodgers were outscored, 22-7, during the series, and never seemed to be in position to win any of the three games. The club has lost five of its last six games.
"If I had the answer, I'd fix it," said outfielder Carl Crawford.
The lack of run production has begun to wear on the Dodgers' confidence, manager Don Mattingly said. Los Angeles has scored 41 runs in 15 games, second fewest in the NL.
"The last few days we've gotten down, and it feels like we're way down," Mattingly said. "This club shouldn't feel like that. This club should be a club that feels like we're in every game and can throw a bunch of runs up."
Wednesday's loss prompted the Dodgers to hold a team meeting.
"We talked about what's acceptable and what's not acceptable and how do we turn it around," Mattingly said. "How do we go on? We can't sit here and say it's going to be OK. We have to continue to get after it, continue to work and make sure we're not sitting here feeling sorry for ourselves in any way shape or form."
Mattingly does not like the way his team has reacted to early deficits.
"You want your club to feel like we've got all day, keep it right there and we'll get some runs on the board and get ourselves back in the game," Mattingly said. "Right now, I can't sit here and tell you that you get that feeling on the bench."
The Dodgers, though, aren't playing the blame game.
"It starts with the players," outfielder Andre Ethier said. "We've got to come up big and keep a positive attitude. I can't point the finger at anyone other than myself. We've got to come up big, that's the only way to break this thing. It's really frustrating. We've dug ourselves a hole, and we have to figure a way to right it."
The Dodgers have yet to live up to their lofty expectations this year, but they aren't shying away from them either.
"We've just got to play better," said second baseman Mark Ellis. "Nobody here is running from the expectations. We know were supposed to be a good team. You want those expectations. It means you've got good players."
There's still plenty of time for the Dodgers to turn things around. But a 7-8 start is not what the team envisioned.
"If we play the game right, if we play fundamentally right, we're going to win games," said Adrian Gonzalez, who led the team with three hits. "The confidence is there because we understand that. The problem is we're not doing those things that we need to be doing."
One thing the Dodgers aren't doing is capitalizing on scoring chances. The club loaded the bases three times on Wednesday, but only scored once on a sacrifice fly by Matt Kemp in the ninth when the game was out of reach.
The Dodgers left 14 runners on base and were 2-for-9 with runners in scoring position in the finale. They left 30 men on base in the series, going 5-for-27 with runners in scoring position. The club has been searching for clutch hits for some time, but hasn't gotten any.
Gonzalez believes it will take more than one big hit to turn things around, though.
"It's not one hit, it's hit after hit after hit so we can all see it," the first baseman said. "One game is not going to put together any momentum. Two or three games will carry momentum."
For a brief period Wednesday, it looked like the Dodgers might build some momentum heading into a six-game road trip that begins Friday in Baltimore.
Kershaw sailed through the first three innings, retiring nine of 10 batters. He picked up career strikeout No. 1,000 along the way, fanning Yonder Alonso in the second with a 93-mph fastball.
The Dodgers led, 1-0, heading into the fourth. That's when Kershaw allowed three runs, matching his total from three previous starts this year.
Kershaw was out of the game before the end of the sixth inning for the first time this season. He allowed three homers, all solo shots, for the first time in his career at Dodger Stadium.
"It just wasn't very good," said Kershaw, who lost his second straight start. "I didn't have any command and really couldn't throw the breaking ball again. They put good swings on fastballs when I got behind in the count. They did what they're supposed to do. I don't know what happened, I was just falling behind too much."
Kershaw needed 109 pitches to go 5 1/3 innings, allowing seven hits and walking four against five strikeouts.
In contrast to the Dodgers, the Padres turned 13 hits into seven runs. San Diego scored in five innings.
"For us, when the group is hitting, it takes the pressure off everyone," said Padres manager Bud Black. "It was sort of contagious. It's great to see. The was great to see the long ball."
That's something the Dodgers haven't been able to say often in 2013.
