Hispanic Teens More Likely to Abuse Drugs: Survey
HealthDay Reporter
Latest Mental Health News
TUESDAY, Aug. 20 (HealthDay News) -- Hispanic teens are more likely to abuse illegal and legal drugs than their black or white peers, a new report finds.
Fifty-four percent of Hispanic teens surveyed said they had used an illicit drug, compared with 45 percent of black teens and 43 percent of white teens.
"Hispanic kids in grades nine to 12 are at higher risk," said Sean Clarkin, director of strategy and programs at The Partnership at Drugfree.org, the nonprofit group that released the report Tuesday.
Hispanic children perceive these drugs as less harmful than other teens, he said.
Why is that? "They see drug use among their peers and in their community, and the messages they are not getting from their parents -- these all may be contributing to this feeling that drug use is normal," Clarkin said.
The survey found that 62 percent of Hispanic teens have been offered drugs -- including Ecstasy, crack/cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine -- at least once, compared with 53 percent of white teens and 46 percent of black teens.
And schools are not drug-free zones, the report suggested. Forty-two percent of Hispanic teens have been offered drugs at school, compared with 30 percent of white teens and 28 percent of black teens.
Conducted yearly, the latest survey included responses from nearly 3,900 teens and more than 800 parents questioned in 2012.
In many cases, when it comes to teen drug use, parents aren't communicating disapproval, especially when it comes to marijuana, Clarkin noted.
According to the report, 21 percent of Hispanic parents "think it's OK if their teen smokes marijuana sometimes," compared with 11 percent of black parents and 6 percent of white parents.
In addition, 28 percent of Hispanic parents say using prescription drugs is safer than using street drugs, compared with 20 percent of black parents and 9 percent of white parents.
"Many parents feel there is nothing they can do; it's really the responsibility of the school. And parents are at a loss for what to say or what to do," Clarkin said.
"Parents, however, underestimate the influence and leverage that they have with their kids," he said. "The attitude of parents is often 'that's what kids do, I did it and I'm fine, so don't worry,' but the reality is the sooner action is taken, the lower the chance that this is going to develop into something problematic."
On the plus side, the report found that 85 percent of Hispanic parents know that teens who start using drugs and alcohol are more likely to have substance abuse problems later on. This awareness was seen in 74 percent of white parents and 73 percent of black parents.
Moreover, 94 percent of Hispanic parents say they are likely to take action when they find out their child uses drugs or alcohol at home. That compares with 93 percent of black parents and 86 percent of white parents, according to the report.
"It's all about parental guidance," said Dr. Metee Comkornruecha, at the department of adolescent medicine at Miami Children's Hospital. "It's about educating kids and changing views on drugs -- not seeing them as harmless, but as potentially causing abuse."
Highlights of the report include:

"I loved having the ability to choose up to 4 photos since we took so many for our engagement shoot, yet they were organized in a way they still made it look simple and tasteful! Being able to choose colors that matched was great, as well as writing a detailed message on the back! Also, saving on postcard postage was definitely a huge plus!!!"
"I had the designer mock up a color that was not offered for preview. The proof arrived lightning fast. Then the actual magnets arrived four days ahead of schedule! We will be ordering invitations from WPD as well."
"I absolutely LOVE how my Save the Dates turned out! The customer service and design team went above and beyond what I expected and were extremely helpful in allowing me to customize the card (change the amount of pictures and change font styles). I was so impressed by the quality and responsiveness of Wedding Paper Divas that I'm only considering their cards for my wedding stationary. You can't go wrong selecting any of their options (but especially this card because its gorgeous)"
"These magnets came out beautifully; they are simple but elegant. The designer recommendations were spot on and the item arrived exactly as it was stated in the order. I have already received many compliments and would recommend this to anyone."
"We loved this save the date! Used a custom color which matched our pictures beautifully! Excellent customer service and quick shipping. thank you for a beautiful, perfect save the date! We love them and our guests loved them, too!"

A BRIERLEY Hill man who started selling cannabis to a close circle of friends to help clear his debts has avoided jail.
When police officers raided the home of Aaron Collins, aged 23, they found over 200 grammes of the controlled drug which would have been worth around £2,600 if sold in street deals.
Robert Cowley, prosecuting, told Wolverhampton Crown Court they also found drug dealing paraphernalia, £490 in cash and a CS gas canister.
Collins of Harrison Court, Hawbush, admitted possessing cannabis with intent to supply, possessing a small amount of methadone and the gas canister - a prohibited weapon.
Judge Michael Challinor told Collins it was the fact he was a man of previous good character that made it possible for him to impose a non-custodial sentence.
But he warned him: "The police will be watching you from now on. If you are foolish enough to involve yourself in drug trafficking again in the future then they will catch you."
The judge also told Collins he accepted he had not been in possession of the gas canister to protect himself or his drug supply.
Collins was placed on supervision for a year, ordered to carry out 100 hours unpaid work in the community and to pay £535 costs.
Ekwall Tiwana, for Collins, told the court his client had built up a large debt and he was trying to pay the money back.

Pulse and blood pressure measurements taken in different areas of the body help diagnose peripheral arterial disease.
In the legs, doctors will commonly feel for pulses in the femoral
(groin), popliteal (back of the knee), posterior tibial (ankle), and dorsalis
pedis (foot) areas. Other pulses often checked include the radial (wrist), brachial
(forearm), and carotid (neck) areas.
The pulses are graded for record-keeping purposes so that doctors
can keep track of how a person's pulse changes over time. Your
doctor uses a number system to rate your pulse.
Your doctor will listen to your pulse with a stethoscope for a "whooshing" sound called a bruit (say "broo-E"). A bruit might mean there is a blockage in the artery.
For peripheral arterial disease, blood pressure might be taken at the ankles, toes, legs, and arms.
Blood pressures are typically taken with a blood pressure cuff. But blood pressure can be measured
using catheters placed inside the arteries. Because the
arteries are punctured, this is known as invasive blood pressure monitoring.
Ankle pressure
In most people, the resting ankle pressure is greater than the
pressure at the crook of the arm, known as the brachial blood pressure. The
ratio of the ankle pressure to the brachial pressure is called the
ankle-brachial index (ABI).
Toe pressure
Toe pressures can be measured with miniature blood pressure cuffs to check for poor blood flow in the
Segmental leg pressures
Arterial pressure can be estimated in the upper thigh, above the
knee, and in the upper calf by placing blood pressure cuffs at the appropriate
levels. The pressures can be compared between the two legs or at different
levels in the same leg.
Arm pressures
Blood pressures can be measured at the elbow (brachial), forearm, or
wrist. Large differences between pressures at the various levels suggest
arterial blockage. As with toes, finger pressures can be measured.

I am trying to something like below and hope some guru can advise how to accomplish this :
In my db, I have a column with all random numbers : e.g : 3213, 1234, 1235, 3132, 8231 and etc, with more than 300 records
Now I want to do something like match all the numbers like 3213 and permuted numbers of 3213 with all other numbers and count +1 if the other numbers matched other rows in the table.
e.g : I have these rows in the table : 1)3231 2)32113)12134)12315)1234
I am thinking to do something like this to get what I want : We take 1)3231 as an example : First, I will get all permuted numbers for the 1) 3231 *3231* 3213* 1323 and etc
then assign each of the number into an array
from the array, I will do another round of matching with all other records from other rows for each number stored in the array.e.g : take *3231 to match with other rows in the table2)32113)12134)12315)1234
if not found, then count is 0
then move on to the second permuted number *3213 to match with other records2)32113)12134)12315)1234
Same goes to the others.
After all the permuted number for 1) 3231 have been matched with other rows, we will move on to the other row number - 2) 3211 and do the same process all over again... get all permuted numbers for 3211, assign to array and do matching with all other rows.
I am wondering is there any more simple way to accomplish this function?
Hope gurus can get what I am trying to do and share with me your ideas. Thanks
How often do you need to run this process?
It's much easier (and faster) to implement an algorithm that complex in a regular programming language than a query, and 300 rows is very few.
quite frequent.. sometimes we will have more results.
If I'm following your logic here, I would return all rows to the application and use a trivial regular expression (or if your DBMS supports them, such as Postgres does).
Using "3231" from your example, you would just construct the following regex ("^[3231]+$") which would match any value that only contains 3's, 2's and 1's. If the value is of a fixed length (in this case 4), change the above to "^[3231]{4}$".
tried this one :
if (preg_match("^12+$", "1234")) { echo "

yes";} else { echo "no";}
but not working.. ;please advise. thanksl
Not working how?
^12+$ means a string beginning with the number 1, followed by one or more instances of the number 2, then ending
Matching strings would be in the form of 12, 122, 1222, 12222, 122222, 122222....
^12+ would match 1234^12[0-9]+$ would match 1234^[4321]{4}$ would match 1234 and also 1111, 2222, 3333, 4444, 1222...
You might find this online regular expression tester useful
I tried this : if (preg_match("^[4321]{4}$", "1234")) { echo "

yes";} else { echo "no";}?>
then receive this error : Warning: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: No ending delimiter '^' found in C:\wamp\www\preg\index.php on line 2
The entire expression needs to be surrounded by delimiters, which can be any character you won't use in the expression. Forward slashes and pound signs are common as other languages use them by default.
if (preg_match("#^[4321]{4}$#", "1234")) {
thanks. it is working fine now.
just need some explanation from you if u have time.. may I know where I can find more information when to use the following symbols in the function :
^ matches the start of a string, so ^1234 does not match the string 51234
[] encloses a group of characters, []+ means match one or more instances of anything in the group
$ matches the end of a string, so 1234$ does not match the string 12345
thank you very much.
so this one :
[]+ is used to do matching like permutation? so basically the + here is the {4} that I used right ?
4 kind of number positioning ?
thanks in advance .
[1234]{4} means match any substring exactly 4 characters long consisting of characters in the group
note that 1234 is the set of characters, not one number
1111 is a string of exactly 4 characters that matches the group in the bracket
This is not a permutation. Permutations in regular expressions are extremely difficult -- the length of the expression increase exponentially with the length of the string to permute. You can't write it succinctly.
That's why I originally suggested you write a program to do this rather than do it in a query. You can't easily write a query that finds permutations.

Colette Negroni Blue Bazin with Wax contrast
Added Jan 2, 2013
by cathytxtwfr
Ouidah, Benin
My first menswear pattern! I used Colette Pattern's Negroni. It's made with bazin (a dyed west african fabric) with a contrast wax print. It was also the first time making something (besides a skirt) for someone else to wear so I felt very unsure the entire time about the size but in the end it fit him perfectly.
I wrote more in my sewing blog here: http://cathywu.com/journal/treadling/2013/01/02/colette-negroni/

A person who exemplifies the finer qualities of Milton Waddams from Office Space, including distracted thinking, disheveled appearance, complete lack of self confidence, inappropriate mumbling or talking to oneself, and an obsessive compulsion to only focus on one item (such as a red stapler or an outgoing wire process) regardless of what else is going on around him/her. Given a small amount of power or control, this person tends to go completely Napoleonic, and is typically just dumb enough to be dangerous.
This new guy Paul is a complete Waddamite. First he shows up wearing a tie that ends four inches above the belt; then he begins really distracting cavitations in his chair, all while mumbling to himself and awkwardly typing on his laptop as we're trying to explain a very simple process that he completely misunderstands no matter how simple we make it. I can't believe that anyone would put this guy in charge of a hamburger, never mind an examination.

Fund the Training of Seminarians in Lebanon
Thursday, February 20, 2014
Project Code: 326-02-79
Lebanon is one of the pillars of Christianity in the Middle East. Until relatively recently, it was the only country in the region that still had a Christian majority. However, today Christians make up barely 38% of the population. But despite the falling representation of Christians in the population, the many seminaries and theological universities in the country still remain extremely important well beyond the boundaries of Lebanon itself. For they are largely responsible for training the priests for almost the whole of the Middle East, and above all for those countries where state repression makes it impossible for the Church to train her priests in their own home country itself.A few years ago the rector of one Lebanese seminary explained to us, "The Church in Lebanon needs help from outside. However, in return it helps others also. From a missionary and spiritual perspective we, the Lebanese Church, receive help from those outside; however, all this help only strengthens our own spirit of openness. We behave as Jesus has taught us: 'freely you have received, therefore freely give." Today our young people are becoming increasingly aware in regard to this spirit of missionary openness, and they are becoming increasingly willing to serve the Church, not only in Lebanon, but also outside, in the countries of emigration and in the missions."At present there are five young men in the Diocese of Baalbek who are preparing at various different seminaries of the country for their ordination to the priesthood. The situation in this diocese, which covers an area of over 1,000 square miles and which already suffers great poverty, is particularly critical today. Its geographical proximity to Syria makes the situation very unstable, and the people here are afraid. Those who are able are in many cases already leaving the country and seeking better fortune abroad, in Australia or Canada. Others are moving away to the capital Beirut. Only a strong Church that has the capacity to help her faithful spiritually, pastorally, socially and economically will be able to check this mass emigration, and young and soundly trained priests play a crucial role.Bishop Simon Attalah has a particularly profound concern for the future priests of his diocese and he is more than happy with the feedback he is getting from the seminaries and universities where these young men are preparing for their priestly ministry. We have promised to continue supporting his seminarians this year, with a contribution of $8,300. Will you help us fulfill this promise to fund the training of seminarians in Lebanon?Aid to the Church in Need commits to invest your funds where they will have the greatest impact for the Church that we serve. Funds donated to Aid to the Church in Need's projects will be used towards the greatest need in our programs to help keep the Faith alive.

Amidst a pretty impressive Rangers victory, the blueshirts suffered a devastating loss. Ryan Callahan almost assuredly has a separated shoulder, and we can expect him to be out weeks, if not months. In a condensed season, this is horrendous news. Not just because the Rangers lack any depth whatsoever in the minors that can help, but more importantly, the line of Stepan, Callahan and Hagelin had a spectacular game till the injury. The trio generated tons of scoring chances and were finally showing signs of being the second line we hope and pray can come behind a very top heavy team with the trio of Gaborik Nash and Richards all loaded on one line.
Make no mistake folks, this one hurts. Big time. More than any game loss, losing our captain is awful. A team that is having trouble killing penalties just lost it's best PKer. A team that has shown signs of laziness and lack of desire early in the season just lost their motor that keeps them running.
This, is huge.
It's not all doom and gloom of course. The Rangers have more than enough leaders to take over for Cally, but you can't underestimate the value that man brings to this team. Let's all pray he's out weeks rather than months.
On the plus side though, the Rangers played their 3 great game out of the last 4 they've played. Putting on a clinic at times, and if not for a near heroic effort by Ilya Bryzgalov, who for reasons unbeknown to me was not one of the 3 stars, they would have crushed the Flyers.
Despite Tortorellas inexplicable "dumbness" comment, I for one thought Carl Hagelin was our best player tonight. What a frikkin game by the kid. He had an awful start to the season, but tonight he was all over the place. Skating his ass off, setting up plays, but just unable to finish. Phenomenal game. I don't usually say this, but screw Torts, the kid deserves a pat on the back.

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9 TV dated June 24th, 2012
ADNAN OKTAR: First of all Syria is supported by China and Russia. What does this mean? It means that it is a super state. There is no such thing. Iran, China and Russia; the Shanghai group, these are super states. And Syria is among them. Consequently attacking Syria would be the same with attacking China, Russia and Iran. They should leave aside the story of attacking, nothing good comes out of attacking. Yet uniting with them would do; the system of the Mahdi, the Unity of Islam [these will solve the problems]. They should concentrate on these. Nothing can be attained through striking and crushing. Furthermore Turkey is alone in that region. Such a thing would not work. They should concentrate on the Unity of Islam. Such attempts to attack, to hang, to chop up etc. are the plots of the satan. What should be done is nothing more than abiding by the system of the Mahdi. I mean those who look for any other way would sink, would go to ruins. And this one has said some things in his own way. He said that the end has come for Syria. Where is that end coming? Where will it come from? Syria and PKK are in a complete cooperation. Syria is one of the most powerful states that have been supporting the PKK from the very start. They are helping them intensely n providing weapons, materials and logistics support, training and protecting. Consequently this makes their hand very powerful in their own mind. For overthrowing the regime in Syria, an alliance should be formed with the Muslim countries; Muslims countries should act together, there should be a Unity of Islam. And there is also the need for forming an alliance with the Christian world. We need to act with the NATO as well. And there is no need to shed blood or anything for overthrowing that regime. This can be solved through normal agreements through persuasion and through display of strength. That man[Bashar al-Assad] should step back with his family and children, and a legitimate government, a coalition government should come to power and then Turkey and Syria should unite. That is all. There is nothing complicated in that and it is very reasonable. There are so many Christians in Syria. We need to feel compassion for them and form a system in which they too will be protected and watched over and they too will be comfortable; that is the whole content of the matter. There is nothing like the "beginning of the end" or the "end of the beginning", etc.
In such a war, Turkey would be left in a very difficult position. That will be an amazing material for the PKK. In such a situation PKK can explicitly become a power in the region, may Allah forbid. They would go rabid in the complete sense of the word. The industry of Turkey would collapse, economics will collapse. People in Turkey are poor anyway. That would only cause a Muslim brotherhood slaughter. Muslims would be attacking Muslims. That would be an act that would block the way of the Union of Islam, that would attempt to block the system of the Mahdi. Leaving aside the peaceful understanding, loving understanding of the system of the Mahdi and approach the matters with the mentality of a bully saying let us hung them, chop them, break them as if it is a war in between districts would be a grave mistake. The bullying spirit is something that exists in the human soul. But those who get up in rage would sit back harmed. Such a thing would not be acceptable. What are we to do to Syria? Are we going to go and bomb Muslims in Damascus? Are we to go and bomb the Muslim mosques and masjeeds, where are we going to go and bomb? And what would come out from that bombing? They are attempting to have Muslims attack Muslims. Are we going to be fooled by the plot of the dajjal(anti-christ) ? Such a thing ca not happen, such a thing would not be allowed. Furthermore, we will not let that happen. There will be no such thing. They should forget the war. They are playing the songs of war everywhere. But there will not be any wars, it is forbidden. There will be no war. Get it out of your minds, there won't be such a thing.
If you take out your sword against a Muslim, you would be committing an unlawful act. Yes, there are persecutors in Syria, that is another issue, yet peace can be ensured only through Christian-Muslim alliance. And that can be done through the spirit of the system of the Mahdi and that would be possible only if the aim is peace and brotherhood. Let us saying that you went to Syria and crushed them, destroyed them; what will happen later on? After that everyone would turn back to their homes. All those killings, all that destroying and what would you attain by that? After that, people in Syria will be boiling narghiles and have women dance. Do you have the goal of establishing the Islamic Union? No you don't. Do you have the goal of establishing the system of the Mahdi? No you don't. Do you feel the excitement about the coming of the Prophet Jesus Messiah (pbuh)? No you don't. So what is your problem? Saying we will knock them down if we strike, we will destroy them. That is nothing like a precinct fight. Look how hard it is for the state to handle a handful of PKK militants. Even a handful of PKK militants give us hard times. Widening the fronts we fight in, having Muslims attack Muslims; such a mentality is not acceptable. Things can be easily solved through peace, brotherhood, friendship and the Union of Islam.

Is anyone using this feature? The highest (ergo most important link) under Conent on the front page claims the link here leads to "general stuff" (which is bad enough on its own).
At least specify what sort of general stuff. But even worse, this isn't general stuff, it's links to text based games.
Dead links.
Without players.
This is a huge waste of front page real estate and I strongly advocate changing the front page and deleting this page.

Myron Graham '04
Fall 2010 TRINITY Magazine, Career and Calling: Called to Lead
Myron Graham '04
Major: Social work
Title: Case manager, autism comprehensive training supervisor, day services supervisor, and DT II liaison
"By overcoming extreme odds, people with disabilities often provide a keen insight into the untapped potential of mankind," said Myron Graham '04, an alumnus who has worked at Elim Christian Services in Palos Heights, Illinois, for the past four years. "As we use our gifts to help them realize theirs, we unlock a deeper perspective on the purpose and meaning of life."
Graham serves as a case manager, autism comprehensive training supervisor, day services supervisor, and DT II liaison (developmental training). Within these leadership responsibilities fall the daily interactions focused on behavior management, vocational skill development, and life skills training.
After Trinity, Graham earned his Master of Social Work from Washington University in St. Louis. Today he finds great joy in his work, a calling in which he can maximize his gifts of creativity and enjoy autonomy in programming decisions that are focused on helping differently-abled adults reach their highest God-given potential. Traveling abroad as part of his job helps Graham learn about best practices in other countries, which in turn helps professionals like himself improve treatments for those with disabilities in the United States.
"In this country, we have a wealth of resources, but Down Syndrome in South Africa is the same as Down Syndrome in Kansas," he said. "By traveling to other countries, some of which have less resources than the U.S., we can glean innovative ways to address the emerging needs of this often invisible population."
Elim isn't the only place benefiting from Graham's belief that God gifts people to "help each other reach their highest potential." A few years ago, Graham and his wife, Kim '04 (Ritzema), started the organization Supported Employment for Youth with Learning Disabilities (SEYLD), serving the south suburban community of Harvey.

With the state mired in a budget shortfall that has been estimated at $2 billion, the governor has ordered up a fiscal diet.
It is the topic that everybody is talking about.
There is no doubt that the current state of the economy and the $700 billion bailout have recently become the main issues of this year's presidential election.
We teach children not to talk to strangers. And we don't let them watch R-rated movies when they're in third grade.
The Rio Grande river innocently snakes its way between Mexico and the United States, creating a border that has become much more than just a border.
Lake Lanier is approaching a historic moment, but it's not a cause for celebration.
On Dec. 26 last year, Lanier hit 1,050.79 feet above sea level, the lowest point since the reservoir was completed in the late 1950s. Normal full pool is 1,071 feet.
Much of the foreign policy talk between the presidential candidates boils down to one primary issue: the war in Iraq.
As most area food banks can attest, need knows no season.
For a time during the presidential primary season, it looked as if health care was going to be the dominant issue of the campaign. Over the past few months, however, the topic has seemed to drop off the radar screen.
"We all did think health care was going to be at least the No. 2 issue (after the Iraq war)," said Mimi Collins, chief executive officer of the Longstreet Clinic in Gainesville. "Now everyone's talking about the economy.
When he entered office in 2003, Gov. Sonny Perdue faced a budget shortfall. While there was a time of improvement, the current economic downturn has been evident in declining state revenues.
But Perdue, who is about to begin his final two years in office, rejects the notion of being a lame duck and is upbeat about the remaining term.
They're well-versed in the sonnets of Shakespeare. They can explain Quantum physics to a room full of surly teenagers. And they stay after school to tutor struggling calculus students.
Nowadays, clocks flash instead of tick. Phones sing instead of ring.
And it's only a matter of time before the TV crosses over to join its electronic brethren in the digital realm.
Scoreboards glowing above stadiums nationwide this fall will tell cheering fans if their team is winning. In the education arena, it's No Child Left Behind, the federal mandate President George W. Bush signed into law in early 2002, that keeps America's score on education.
For an hour this week, a group of seven high school students from public and private schools in Hall County spent an hour with the president of the University of Georgia in a dialogue that covered a variety of subject from how to get into UGA to "How 'bout them Dawgs?"
It used to be fairly straightforward. To improve your health, you went to the doctor. To improve your appearance, you went to the beauty parlor.
Brochures in hand, Carol and John Eggerding had imagined life in a close-knit community by Lake Lanier, staring at mountain vistas and rubbing elbows at the clubhouse.
Little did they know they would wake up to a nightmare in their cul-de-sac dream home at Seasons on Lanier.

Pretty helpful for Ms fatigue for me
After only 4 months on Amantadine, I have livedo reticularis covering my whole body and swelling of my face, feet and hands. Looking like "spider woman" is not my concern but the reason for the web design IS. Although my neurologist says it is not dangerous, livedo reticularis is the dilation of one's mid-size vascular system. This drug, along with Requip, have made my Parkinson's symptoms much worse in less than a year's time. What the FDA doesn't tell you about side effects, they leave to your doctor to tell you. Every doctor I've ever had has always responded "ask your pharmacist!". On the positive side, Amantadine did reduce the spasms in my neck, foot and tongue for three months. But, now they are back and it looks like the Requip I started taking 9 months ago may the the more damaging in side effects. If you are taking that drug, please note my comments on it under Ropinirole

Take a peek inside the colorful and stunning IGIGI by Yuliya Raquel spring/summer lookbook! The beautiful Kailee O'Sullivan models the latest collection, appropriately named A Breath of Fresh Air. This vintage-inspired designs "celebrates the rejuvenation of femininity, vibrancy, and liveliness the spell of Spring unveils in all women." It has a very Mad Men-esque vibe, doesn't it? I'm in awe of the colors and soft sillhouettes.
"My design sensibility has always had a vintage vibe to it, so this season I decided to go all the way and just have a blast with stylistics. I took the old covers of Vogue magazines from early 20's all the way trough 50's and created homage to the history of style." Said Yuliya Raquel, Founder, Creative Director and Lead Designer.
I'm officially in love with the last wedding dress! Which design is your favorite?
The collection is available now on www.Igigi.com.

Ranch homes and Craftsmans and Bungalows, oh my!
In an effort to fall in love together, we decided to make a list of our must haves and came up with a few: good schools, open floor plan, spacious kitchen, master bathroom, porch or balcony from where we can watch the rain as it falls to the earth [so very important after a lifetime with and eight years without]. We're flexible about most everything else like garages, house-age, in-town location, and well, maybe that's the problem. We're so open to everything we're finding nothing.
Option Four. A home in between all of these, built in the 90's or beyond that are the norm of most American homes but because I know once a house is nearing the ten year mark in these homes everything and I mean everything falls apart like the air conditioning, heating, roof etc I'm not eager to go back to redo all that I just got done in the house I left.
Since we are clearly incapable of settling on anything our new extremely understanding agent is taking us on ten blind dates this Saturday. Let's hope love finds a way.
Live in any of these types of styles, what do you love or hate about them or wish you could do differently? If you had to buy a house now, knowing all you know, what would you do differently or the same? What are your must haves? Any advice or warnings much appreciated.

We have an option 2 house. A 1960's house that has been renovated. It's great to have features like a new kitchen, without having selling my kidneys for them. However, the closets are small and the house does require a lot of upkeep (even though it's been almost completely redone). I'll send you cookies, don't buy an option 1. lol.

We have an option 1 house (well, the local NH equivalent) 1890s farmhouse. The library is what was in the original dairy barn. The house has quirks--oh my, does it ever--but it's solid, it makes me smile every time I come home, and it has a 'homey' feel to it. The upkeep is certainly an issue, but with an older house, you can usually be sure that 'weird' problems aren't going to pop up. I mean, you KNOW you'll be dealing with old roof issues, but you're pretty sure the foundation isn't going to shift & crack your walls, you know? (Happened to my brother's new home) Plus the charm, and the not-crying every time you drive up to it? Priceless. Team BUNGALOW over here!!!

Jamila, your house from the pictures I've seen looks awesome, thanks for your take on it, I guess no matter the house old or new, there's upkeep :-/
Susan, your house sounds dreamy, a barn converted into a library? *swoon* K and I love the aesthetic value of the older homes, the history behind them, but the quirks get us, how expensive are your quirks??

We're currently in a ranch (not my first choice but it was what was available in our price range in the tiny town we currently live in...we're renting right now) and it isn't as bad as I thought it'd be. Once you get inside you kind of forget it's a ranch if you paint it right ;)
From what I've heard, being house poor really stinks, but I have no actual personal experience there. Just hearsay.
Best of luck to you as you find a house!
- 9:59 AM, December 06, 2011

Hi Sarah! Thanks for your personal perspective, do you think you'll buy a ranch now that you've rented for some time in them?

One thing i didn't think about when moving with a baby this age (yusef was 20 months when we moved to NJ) was a yard. He would have loved to play outside and i couldn't let him because we didn't have a fenced in yard and the street was busy...not sure if that's something important to you or not but it was high on my list for our recent move. My kids love playing outside and now i can let them since i can see them from the kitchen and we are on a culdesac. In NJ i didn't have a walkout kitchen and all i could offer them was the deck. I LOVE those bungalows in atlanta...that would be my vote simply because i love them. Ranches....i sort of wish we had one because all the stairs on two level houses can be really scary. I just fell down ours and was pretty badly hurt...hearing of three deaths in the last month due to stairs has me a bit worried these days and we are getting ours carpeted. I like walkable neighborhoods too...but since the backyard thing was so important to me i couldn't find a house that had both... My absolute favorite style house is cape cod style...just love it. Those bungalows are a close second.

i shouldn't have said our street was busy, but it was too busy for kids to be playing outside on their own. :-)

we live in a ranch, but please note, it is NOT a split level, i am not a fan of split levels. to me, it seems like split level means less space. i really like option one, i think i'm just a fan of older homes, however, it sure would be nice to have a newer home that you know has nothing wrong with it, this is such a bid decision!! i have to admit, i love bungalow style homes, they are so cute! that being said, i'm pretty sure no garage would be a deal breaker for me. the other things that are most important to me are location and layout since you really can't change either one. also, closet/storage space is very important to me. our house needs a lot of updating which we can't really afford to do right now, but it's got a great layout, it's a nice location and the storage space is amazing, tons of nicely sized closets and lots of space in the basement too. good luck deciding!! i guess my number one choice would be a brand new home if it was in the right location, built to my specifications.

- Aisha said...
Wayfarer, EXCELLENT point, you are so right, a big backyard is a must [or a yard big enough to allow playing and once you can fence] thanks for the reminder. Right now I take him to the park daily and its great but I'd love to be able to watch him play from the kitchen when he's older and can play mor eindependently. Thanks for thea dvice!!!
Kate, yes that's right you have a ranch, how do you like it a few years in? Are you happy with it since it has the open floor plan and location you wanted or did ranches never bother you anyways?

We live in a 1920's house, and I have to say I love this era and the way the houses were built. When you combine that with a neighborhood, well... :D
- 10:24 PM, December 06, 2011
i would go with a new house but ultimately, it's a personal decision -- for instance, i like living in the burbs! ;)
- 11:07 PM, December 06, 2011
I like option 1! Like you, I'm a sucker for anything with old charm and history. My suggestion is, get a pen and paper and make a pro/con list for each option, haha That's my thing for everything and it helps, trust me.
- 11:36 PM, December 06, 2011
- Aisha said...
Cecily, that's great to know, I know you said your'e thinking about moving again though. . . perhaps to another turn of the century style home again?
Rasha, LOL yeah, well you know how I feel about the burbs ;) [though almost all my close friends are in the burbs] I would LOVEEEEE a new home and in my area the new homes that do come up are n the old era style but the costs are outrageous. . . . maybe we'll see though, new homes are at least maintenance free for a ltitle while.
Ann, pros and cons are the best way to do it, we've done that but we can't figure out which pros are better thant he pros of the other areas, lol. Yeah, we're very indecisive. Thanks for your input!!!

Go with one! 1's the one! ;)

Always fall in love with a girl but never do with a house!
I will take Option 2 due to school and commute. OR option 4. You can buy good house insurance and they replace things if fall apart....
- 10:03 PM, December 07, 2011
- Aisha said...
Lol,thanks anon :)
Mystic, really? Don't you love your home??? We had house insurance but they didn't cover roof issues, and other such things. . . but your'e right home insurance plans can help with things especiallythe first year.

All come back to your blog...hope not to start a vicious cycle.
I don't know, I was with my friend, and I saw a McMansion and we just looked at each other and were like "wha...? did you SEE that? It looks like....o my God." You know how that gets sometimes. I dunno Aisha.
I think we should all visit those mansions.

I absolutely love the craftsman style bungalow -- probably the way I'd go (and I also love the charm and the neighbors bringing cookies and the close friends for Waleed and you!) :) On the other hand I live in an older house myself and there's always something to fix!
On the other hand I like the land and privacy of the split level on lots of land! (but I've lived in a split level before and I wasn't a huge fan of the split, especially one called a "bi-level" where you go in and need to choose up or down immediately) I would never, personally, want a mcmansion... but nice for guests and prob more cleanable but takes longer!

Don't be house poor. I was house happy but house poor and it's not fun. Plus, if anything bad happens (hubby loses job) then poof, no house! :) That's how it was for us anyway.
I like the point that you can't really change layout or location or yard - so those should be your dealbreakers - can you rank those in importance and see which options line up the most?
Good luck!

Former Republican Gov. Arne Carlson was in town last night to talk about his opposition to the Voter ID amendment, but during his presentation he spent some time talking about fired Senate staffer Michael Brodkorb. In particular, he focused on Brodkorb's assertion that the marriage amendment was put on the ballot primary as a way to turn out the Republican base.
"Michael Brodkorb is back in the news. As one political observer said, 'He is the gift that keeps giving,'" Carlson said getting laughs from the crowd.
The former governor went on to talk about the idea that putting the marriage amendment on the ballot was all about partisan gain.
"How interesting it is to know that while these senators were rolling in each others' beds they were blaming the gay community for violating and threatening the sanctity of marriage. What a novel approach," he said.
Brordkorb was fired from his job as Senate communications director and it was later revealed he had been having an affair with then-Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch. He is suing the Senate arguing he was improperly terminated because other staff who have had affairs with legislators were not fired but moved into other positions. Carlson said he expects Brodkorb "probably will do quite well" in his lawsuit.

The life of Benjamin Seaver (1757-1816)
1757-1816 — Massachusetts
Benjamin Seaver served in the Revolutionary War. He was a private in Captain Edmund Bemis's company in Colonel Asa Whitcomb's 23rd Regiment, enlisting May 13, 1775, and was on the muster roll dated August 1, 1775 (service 2 months, 24 days). He was a Corporal on a company receipt for wages for August 1775, dated Camp at Prospect Hill. He was a Private on the company return (probably October 1775), and on a receipt for a bounty coat dated Westminster, November 20, 1775 ("Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolutionary War", Vol. XIII, Boston, 1905, p. 1002).
In a separate listing, Benjamin Sever of Sudbury was on the list of men raised agreeable for six months service to the resolve of June 5, 1780, returned as received of Major Joseph Hosmer, Superintendent for Middlesex County by Justin Ely, Commissioner, dated 8 July 1780 in Springfield by Brigadier General John Glover. He is described as age 23 years, stature 6 feet, light complexion. He was engaged for the town of Sudbury and marched to camp on 8 July 1780 under command of Ebenezer Kent, Esquire. He was also a Private in Captain Joseph Fox's Third company, 16th Massachusetts Regiment. He was on the pay roll for June and July, 1780 for 24 days of service. He was also on the list of men raised for the six months service and returned by Brigadier General Paterson as having passed muster in a return dated Camp Totoway on October 25, 1780 ("Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolutionary War", Vol. XIII, Boston, 1905, p.1002).
He settled on his father's homestead in Westminster in 1787, having been granted two-thirds of the real property in his father's estate (Worcester County (MA) Probate Records, 24:358, Norman Seaver estate, on FHL Microfilm 0,856,314).
He bought 1 acre in Westminster from Asa Taylor for 3 pounds on 13 December 1793 [Worcester County (MA) Deeds 203:366, recorded 10 May 1817, on FHL Microfilm 0,845,600).
Benjamin Sever, yeoman of Westminster, bought 40 acres of land in Westminster (part of the 3rd division lot 67), from David Barnard, gentleman of Acton, on 1 January 1794 for 66 pounds (Worcester County (MA) Deeds 203:361, recorded 10 May 1817, on FHL Microfilm 0,845,600).
He bought 12 and a half acres in Westminster from Zachariah Rand of Westminster on 16 January 1795 for 50 pounds (Worcester County (MA) Deeds 203:364, recorded 10 May 1817, on FHL Microfilm 0,845,600).

He and Joseph Spaulding of Westminster bought 60 acres of upland in the northerly part of Westminster, being half of the farm, from Ephraim Wetherbee of Westminster for $77.50 on 4 March 1800.

Benjamin Sever, yeoman of Westminster, sold 26 acres and 56 rods of the lot in Hubbardston to Sewell Barnes, cooper of Westminster, on 22 January 1815 for $123. This was the southeasterly half of the great farm number 7 he bought from Luke Church (Worcester County (MA) Deeds 199:167, recorded 21 September 1815, on FHL Microfilm 0,845,598).
The estate of Benjamin Seaver is in Worcester County Probate Records, Probate Packet 52,865. His widow, Martha, was appointed administratrix on 16 July 1816 (Worcester County (MA) Probate Records, 202.253, on FHL Microfilm 0,860,638). Bond for $1,000 was granted to William Penniman and Merari Spaulding, sureties on the same date (Worcester County (MA) Probate Records, 172:259, on FHL Microfilm 0,860,624). A warrant of appraisal was also provided on that date (Worcester County Probate Records, 622.524). On 1 October 1816, the inventory was appraised to be Real estate $4,626, and personal property of $1,082.78 (Worcester County (MA) Probate Records, 47:197, entry for Benjamin Seaver, on FHL Microfilm 0,856,326).

Buttrick, who filed their report, which was allowed on May 22, 1817 (Worcester County (MA) Probate Records 48:493, entry for Benjamin Seaver, on FHL Microfilm 0,856,327). The real estate was apprised at $4,560, and partitioned 1/3 to the widow ($1,520), and 1/10 shares to each child ($304) of the remaining 2/3, divided as follows:
* Widow Martha Sever received 72 acres of the Stearns lot, 26 acres of the Willington pasture, plus portions of the home lot for her use for a year, and the meeting house pew.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 23/11/2012 (1733 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The cost of living in Manitoba edged up a bit in September, as consumers forked out more for things like gasoline, furniture and home and mortgage insurance, Statistics Canada said today.
The agency said Manitoba's annual inflation rate edged up to 1.7 per cent from 1.6 per cent in August.
That was the fourth highest rate among the provinces. Newfoundland and Labrador had the highest rate at 2.2 per cent, while British Columbia had the lowest at 0.5 per cent.
Consumer items that saw some of the biggest prices increases between September of last year and September of this year in Manitoba were furniture (up 11.8 per cent), homeowners' home and mortgage insurance (11.4 per cent), homeowners' maintenance and repairs (10.7 per cent) and gasoline (8.8 per cent), Statistics Canada said.
Canada's annual inflation rate remained stuck at 1.2 per cent for the third consecutive month in October, continuing a level of stability that will give the Bank of Canada little reason to adjust interest rates.
The consumer price index compiled by Statistics Canada was slightly higher than economists had anticipated, given that gasoline prices were known to have fallen during the month, but still at the low end of the central bank's target range.
The core inflation — which measures underlying price pressures by excluding volatile items such as energy — stood at 1.3 per cent in October, also below expectations.
Statistics Canada reported gasoline prices were down 1.2 per cent from September — not as big a decline as anticipated and still 4.0 per cent higher than a year earlier.
The consensus estimate had been for the annual inflation rate to fall to 1.1 per cent, which would have been the lowest since June 2010 when it was 1.0 per cent.
The central bank has set a target of keeping the inflation rate between 1.0 and 3.0 per cent.
Despite the low inflation rate and concerns about the global economy, Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney has stuck to saying that interest rates are likely to rise at some point. The statements seem primarily to be a warning to consumers, who have racked up record-high personal debt during a period of prolonged low borrowing costs.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/8/2012 (1840 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Jan. 22, 2010.
The day the Winnipeg Football Club board of directors introduced Joe Mack as the new vice-president and general manager. At the time, reaction to the hire was mixed.
Mack's reputation was that of a football architect, a person who was well versed in how to overhaul a roster. His straight-ahead, quiet approach was a selling point to the board. Mack would be the polar opposite to the Lyle Bauer/Mike Kelly experience, with board chairman Ken Hildahl using the terms "character" and "integrity" to describe the club's newest football ops mastermind.
Forget about Mack being 23 years removed from his last CFL position, they said. He was the steady hand the organization needed, the team insisted.
And while everyone had an opinion on Mack and what he could or couldn't do, his mandate was clear: Find a quarterback, improve the Canadian content and get the Bombers back to respectability.
How's he done? Well, he has a 15-27 record as the Winnipeg GM through two-and-a-third seasons. Missed the playoffs his first season, reached the Grey Cup the next. The quarterback position is still under review, and he has had difficulty landing all-star-calibre talent from both sides of the border.
You read that correctly: Despite a reputation for unearthing import players, Mack has yet to bring in a body who's qualified as a division all-star, let alone earned a league-wide mention.
Opinions on what pains this current Bombers lot (1-5 and last in the CFL) are endless, but most attitudes sit on the common denominator that this is Mack's team, therefore it's Mack's mess to clean up.
Question: How long does it take to rebuild a CFL program?
Winnipeg is currently in Year 3 of its renovation. The Grey Cup appearance is a distant memory already, and there is little to no indication of the Bombers being a consistent winner anytime soon.
Another question: How would you grade the job Mack has done to this point?
Let's take look at some of the major moves under his administration:
2010: Season 1
FEB. 5 -- Paul LaPolice is hired as head coach. The one-time Bombers offensive co-ordintaor (2002-03) was brought in to help spark a Winnipeg attack that went dormant over the last few years.
FEB. 23 -- Quarterback Michael Bishop, one of the lightning rods of the 2009 season, is released to make way for the enigmatic Steven Jyles, who is signed as a free agent. At best, it was a lateral move.
APRIL 12 -- Free-agent pivot Buck Pierce joins the club. Injury fears around him quickly turn into reality; he makes only five starts in 2010.
MAY 11 -- Alex Brink is signed. Mack's quarterback foundation is set when Joey Elliott arrives two months later.
AUG. 2 -- Veteran linebacker Ike Charlton is cut, continuing a needed makeover of the Winnipeg defence. Names like Lenny Walls, Siddeeq Shabazz, Barrin Simpson and Gavin Walls are gone, replaced by the younger faces of Marcellus Bowman, Deon Beasley, Alex Suber and Clint Kent, to name a few. Hard to argue with Mack's game plan here, as the defence was getting creaky.
OCT. 20 -- After some dropped passes and the arrival of Greg Carr, receiver Adarius Bowman is released. Bowman signs with Edmonton and puts in a 1,000-yard effort the next season. Whoops.
NOV. 5 -- Winnipeg suffers a 35-32 loss to Calgary, its season record ending with a 4-14 thud.
2011: Season 2
JAN. 18 -- After Kavis Reed leaves for Edmonton, Winnipeg adds former Montreal defensive co-ordinator Tim Burke to the coaching staff. Note: Burke remains Mack's only free-agent signing with significant CFL experience.
MARCH 30 -- Mack goes all-in with Pierce, who is coming off a serious elbow injury, and trades Jyles to Toronto for the fourth overall pick in the draft, which is used to take receiver Jade Etienne.
AUG. 26 -- Following a win versus Hamilton, Winnipeg improves its record to 7-1. They finish at 10-8, win the East Division and make it all the way to the Grey Cup. It's an incredible turnaround, and the future looks bright.
NOV. 30 -- Three days after the 34-23 loss in the big game, offensive co-ordinator Jamie Barresi is sent packing -- an unflattering decision by the Bombers, considering LaPolice was calling the offence.
DEC. 20 -- Mack re-signs Canadian safety Ian Logan. The GM retains two starting O-linemen, two non-import depth players and all three quarterbacks prior to the free-agency deadline. More bright future.
2012: Season 3
JAN. 31 -- After an offensive co-ordinator with no CFL experience is hired (Gary Crowton), Pierce re-ups with the club. Days later, Mack retains Brink and Elliott. Quarterback depth is deemed to be a strength on the club.
FEB. 2 -- The WFC board of directors inks Mack to a two-year extension. He signs LaPolice to a similar contract the next month.
FEB. 16 -- Mack watches Canadian guard Brendon LaBatte and import receiver Greg Carr depart via free agency. Strangely, he chooses not to retain non-import defensive lineman Don Oramasionwu. Two young Canadian players lost for nothing. The inaction is met with Twitter disapproval from current players (Beasley, Jovon Johnson, Jonathan Hefney), about which Mack does nothing outside of publicly expressing his disappointment. He even signs one of the players (Johnson) to an extension after the criticism. It's a bizarre week in Mack's tenure.
MARCH 21 -- Veteran defensive tackle Doug Brown retires.
MARCH 22 -- Mack trades defensive end Odell Willis to Saskatchewan for draft picks, but fails to get a first-rounder for one of the CFL's sack kings. Some players are unhappy. A month later, centre Obby Khan hangs 'em up, leaving Mack with a serious experience shortfall.
MAY 4 -- Middle linebacker Joe Lobendahn, who could never stay on the field in his four years as a Bomber, is released. Mack elects to try inexperienced Canadians in his old spot.
JUNE 22 -- Kent and defensive lineman Dorian Smith are released. More CFL experience walks out the door.
AUG. 3 -- Bombers lose to Montreal 36-26 and fall to 1-5 this season. Pierce is fighting injury again, the offence and defence are out of sync, plus the team is struggling to overcome the self-inflicted experience gap and the lack of Canadian depth.

The Canadian way
PART of Joe Mack's mandate when he took over in January 2010 was to improve the Canadian content on the club.
With Winnipeg's bizarre strategy of ignoring veteran non-imports in free agency, that leaves only the draft to stock the Maple Leaf shelves, and at first glance, Mack's batting average through the drafts looks pretty decent. Sixteen players selected, with 12 associated with the club in one way (active roster) or another (taxi squad or injured).
Not too shabby, eh?
Closer inspection, though, reveals more quantity than quality, and a noticeable absence of non-import selections at arguably the most important Canuck position. Let's begin with three points of interest:
-- Three draftees are current starters. Both receiver Cory Watson (9th overall) and left guard Chris Greaves (45th overall) were taken in the 2010 draft; receiver Kito Poblah was taken in the 2011 supplemental draft (costing the club its No. 1 pick in 2012).
-- Contributing non-starters are linebacker Henoc Muamba (top pick in 2011), offensive lineman Paul Swiston (24th overall in 2011) and defensive lineman Jake Thomas, who was Winnipeg's last pick (29th overall) this past May.
-- Tailbacks Anthony Woodson (29th overall, 2010) and Carl Volny (32nd overall, 2011), plus linebacker Rene Stephan (24th overall, 2012) have run into injury problems.
Now consider the three Top 5 picks in the last two drafts.
Muamba, receiver Jade Etienne (4th overall, 2011) and offensive lineman Tyson Pencer (3rd overall, 2012) may turn out to be nice players, but for a club that needed an influx of Canadian talent yesterday, long-term projects are a tough sell.
Muamba appears to be on his way, though the process is slow. Etienne was a huge off-the-board gamble and has yet to catch a ball in 23 games. With receivers Nate Coehoorn (5th overall, Edmonton) and Marco Iannuzzi (6th overall, B.C.) already paying dividends for those teams, the Etienne pick is wide open for criticism.
Pencer had surgeries on both shoulders before the draft and is currently out for the season recovering from -- you guessed it -- shoulder surgery. Yes, there is no bigger project than the 6-8, 330-pound lineman.
Pencer is one of only three hogs taken by the Bombers in the last three drafts, joining Swiston and Brendan Dunn (17th overall, 2011) on that list.
Finally, a fun fact to underline this draft autopsy: Greaves, the top O-line prospect taken during the Mack regime, was drafted as a defensive lineman.

Evansville-Area Residents Who Have 'Made it Big' – Ryan's List
Years ago, my wife and I were at the Hard Rock restaurant in Orlando, FL and while waiting for a table, we ordered a drink at the bar. The bartender did his job and asked for ID. However when he saw our Indiana driver's licenses, he asked, "Did you guys ride your tractors down here?" Since we were in Florida, I wanted to reply with, "Are you here legally?" But I didn't, I bit my tongue and drank my beer.
Being an Evansville resident since the day I was born (West Side! Represent!), I know the stigma placed on us by the rest of the nation based solely on our location on Earth (which we obviously have no control over).

For a decade, Joseph Gorin has dominated the field in a little-known Olympic sport: floor hockey.
A forward for the Laguna Hills Hawks, Gorin, 24 of Laguna Niguel, has helped his team win several championships over the years and enjoys a slew of other sports, including softball, basketball, track and field and volleyball.
He also has cerebral palsy and is one of 1,100 athletes competing Saturday and Sunday in Fountain Valley and Irvine in the Special Olympics Southern California fall championship.
More than 13,000 athletes with intellectual disabilities compete year-round to make it to the Olympics; more than 15,000 volunteers coach and train the teams.
"It gives (athletes) a safe, user-friendly place where they can develop the courage to get involved and learn athletic and competitive skills," said Bill Shumard, president and CEO of SOSC.
Athletes compete year-round in two six-sport seasons; this weekend, they'll battle it out in floor hockey, bowling, soccer, softball, tennis and volleyball.
After the SoCal Games, athletes also have a chance to compete nationally and internationally. In late January, athletes from the Riverside Mad Dogs floor hockey team will head to South Korea with Team USA for the World Winter Games.
Though Gorin's team grabbed the gold medal at least year's SoCal championship and has had its fair share of success, winning isn't everything.
"That's what makes our team special – our teamwork, our sportsmanship and our team spirit through the game," he said.
The sports bug runs strong in Gorin's family. His brother played ultimate Frisbee at UC Irvine, his older sister coaches his volleyball team, and his mom coordinates the Laguna Hills Hawks program.
His team is also recruiting younger athletes for a junior volleyball team and has gathered five players so far. Gorin, who works in the accounting department at Mission Hospital, speaks to various organizations, schools and companies to get the word out about the Special Olympics – both for fans and future athletes.
"It provides a tremendous amount of balance and perspective when you go out and watch a person with intellectual disabilities competing," Shumard said. "On a much wider scale, it really promotes diversity, acceptance, understanding and anti-bullying."

Go on and boast
You passed the judges' review
First Place:
A tongue-tied young man from Killarney,
Got advice from a silver-tongued carney:
"All the glibness you seek
Is the stone's mystique
You'll be gifted with gab by the Blarney"
by: Susan Koefod
Second Place:
Been working in comics for years,
and digital gives me some fears!
It's paper I love,
it's all I think of…
But I want to keep up with my peers!
by: Rusty Gilligan
Honorable Mentions:
Clean limericks just don't make the cut
So give me a limerick with smut
'Cause the naughtier blokes
With their off-color jokes
Always make this old lass bust a gut

Chelsea Handler Gossip
Chelsea Handler gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Smutty Social Media, Thursday July 23, 2015
Imaginechina/ Splash News
We are in the Golden Age (or week?) of Twitter feuds. Now Ed Sheeran is apologizing for sticking up for Taylor. First he claimed "context" and then took a page from Taylor and said, "I missed the point." Is "missing the point" the new "I'm sorry if you were offended"? @lonievora Full Story
Sandy's happy Mardi Gras
Pacific Coast News
Sandra Bullock was in New Orleans last night celebrating Mardi Gras with her son and some friends, including Anthony Mackie, Chelsea Handler, Whitney Cummings, and comedian Michael McDonald. She and McDonald have been friends for a while. They worked together on The Heat and appear to be quite close. Full Story

Between Benedict Cumberbatch and Jennifer Aniston, who wants it more? Oscar, obviously. He's basically giving an interview every five minutes and getting engaged and possibly having babies. She's doing Q&As every other day, screening her movie, and covering every magazine that will take her – and they'll ALL take her. Full Story
Sweetheart but no Captain, yet

It was reported about a week ago that Sandra Bullock and Chris Evans are seeing each other, casually. Like, the attraction is there but it's not serious yet and they haven't labelled what they're doing. Sandy turns 50 on July 26th. Not a bad birthday present if Chris can get his sh-t together.

Gwyneth interviews Chelsea

Chelsea Handler is promoting her book, Uganda Be Kidding Me. She went on Piers Morgan and told him he sucks as an interviewer. Click here to see more. Then she herself was interviewed by her friend Gwyneth Paltrow at the Alex Theatre in Glendale last night. Full Story
Chelsea Handler says her racist tweets aren't racist
For some reason, HuffPo asked Chelsea Handler to live-tweet the Oscars from their Twitter account. And…well…that went well. Chelsea is currently promoting a new book called Uganda Be Kidding Me so I assume it was all part of the publicity effort. I guess it makes sense. Chelsea often says c-nty things. Full Story

Jennifer Aniston hosted a holiday party at her home in Bel Air last night and a lot of famous people showed up including Robert Downey Jr with wife Susan, Tobey Maguire with wife Jennifer Meyer, Courteney Cox, Chelsea Handler, and the Paltrow-Martins, Gwyneth and Chris. As we wait for the Vanity Fair hit piece on Gwyneth that might never materialise, well, evenings like these could explain why. Full Story

The ELLE Women in Hollywood event was last night. Reese Witherspoon was honoured. Her friend Chelsea Handler presented to her. Handler decided to make a joke about the time Reese and her husband Jim Toth were arrested – Toth for DUI and Reese for being a dick to a police officer. "Personally, as a true friend, my favorite project of hers was an overlooked short film that she made earlier this year. Full Story
Gwyneth in white, red lips, and vaginas
Gwyneth Paltrow's been wearing a lot of white. Is it the Hugo Boss thing? Last night she wore white with pockets. I can get behind most dresses with pockets. I wish this particular dress wasn't a tank but I do like this mid-length which is supposed to be THE length of the season, the season now being fall, and how is it already fall? My summer officially sucked. Full Story
Is Chelsea helping or hurting Jennifer?
This is not the first time Chelsea Handler has publicly sh-t on Angelina Jolie. She's called her a f-cking c-nt, she's called her a homewrecker, she's good for it every time. And she's asked about it every time. If I were interviewing her for etalk, I would ask her too. Because she always delivers. Full Story
What? They yelled at me last week, the Jennifer Aniston fans, for daring to suggest that she'd introduce her big ass ring to the world just as Brad Pitt was about to release his Chanel No5 ad. Have you seen it yet? I ...don't want to see it ever again. I don't want to see him so uncool -- the word works surprisingly well on several levels here -- ever again. Full Story
