Hidden History: How America Created the Cuban Missile Crisis
America's big brother relationship with Cuba kicked off with the Spanish-American War of 1898. While America's entry into that war is famously laid at the feet of William Randolf Hearst and his yellow journalism, one can easily glance at the front pages of many New York Times in the preceding year to read about valiant rebels in Cuba fighting evil Spanish governors. The last dying gasps of Spain's empire were during that conflict, leaving Spain to look inward and tear itself apart until a strong man emerged. This strong man issue popped up in Cuba's history. Cubans had rebellion in their blood as Hymen Roth joked in Godfather Part Two, "democracy" never quite worked well in Cuba and eventually a politician-military man, Fulgencio Batista, became dictator. Batista had been a powerful figure back in the early '30s, using his control of the army as a means for overall influence. This worked for him for a quarter of a century. Batista aligned with the wealthy economic interests, sugar, tourism, the American Mafia, and Cuba was a pretty swank island in the Caribbean.
But the USG system did not want a dictatorship just 90 miles from American shores. The student riots, the intellectual rebels, and the peasant rebels were too romantic for the left and the USG system to ignore. Batista was "repressive", killing or torturing anywhere from 1,000 to 20,000 people. A dictator such as him could not be supported by Americans with a good conscience. Batista though was a great ally for America. In the words of Ambassador Arthur Gardner, "I don't think we ever had a better friend". Gardner admitted Batista was getting a cut of the money pouring into Cuba, but Batista "was doing an amazing job". In March of 1958 Washington ended the sale of rifles and ended military aid to Batista, signing the order was General Eisenhower himself. This left Red Empire client Batista in a bind versus the homegrown rebels from a fighting standpoint. It is hard to defeat an illegal and violent insurgency with a dwindling weapon supply, just ask South Vietnamese President Nguyen Thieu.
Castro himself was a bit wishy-washy on the whole Marxism thing. In no speech before 1961 does the word "socialism" leave his lips. On the island itself in the '50s, the Cuban Communist Party thought that an uprising by the workers led by the Communist vanguard and not Castro's guerillas was the road to a Communist takeover. Per Vasili Mitrokhin, the Soviets only approved arms, thru the Czechs, for Castro on December 27, 1958, and they never even arrived in time for the Havana occupation. Pushing Castro, a lawyer by training, down the Communist road were his far more leftist brother Raul and Che Guevara. Those two men were the reliable communists in the eyes of the Soviets.
Setting up Batista for failure was a poor choice, but maybe not nearly as bad as the Eisenhower administration's handling of the January '59 overthrow. Batista had seen enough signs from the USG that he would not get support in a protracted struggle, and Castro's band of murderous merry revolutionaries took over Havana on New Years 1959. This was a confusing and dangerous time. Very quickly on January 7th, the Eisenhower administration recognized this group of rebels as the legal government of Cuba. Castro's revolution had very odd fighting with limited casualties on both sides that would not fill up an NBA arena. The USG jumped rather quickly to deem one side legitimate and the other side a useless relic, undeserving of any input. While saying he was not a communist, Castro was still the front man for a decidedly communist junta with his brother Raul and Che Guevera making steady contact with the Soviets. This was an incredibly stupid move because immediately after Castro's capture of Havana, a rebellion within the rebels started. It would last for six years and involve more troops, more deaths and a much more ruthless government military force than Castro's fight for power.
Like many "charismatic" thugs that take power Castro was seeking a means to cement his control, and not explicitly commie. Castro played a dual track outreach program with the US and USSR. Meeting with Vice President Nixon in the spring of 1959, Castro explained his reform ideas, and set into motion an American trade response that started to cut Cuba off from the US market. While the Soviets were still wary of Castro, American moves and his inner circle pushed him towards them. In the summer of 1959, Castro initiated contact with the Soviets, which over the course of 1959 set up a trade agreement. The Soviets bought 20% of all Cuban sugar exports, supplied them oil in trade and offered a $100 million low interest loan. These were large steps that became even more important with the 1960 US embargo on Cuba.
The year 1959 had other developments that created the Cuban Missile Crisis that had nothing to do directly with Cuba. In the fall of 1959, the US and Turkey signed an agreement that would deploy Jupiter nuclear missiles in Turkey. These missiles would have to fly the short trip over the Black Sea to strike on Soviet territory. If a missile defense shield site in Poland bothers the Russians now, nuclear missiles in Turkey would justifiably send the Soviets into a rage. This choice of missile deployment was a bit odd, since the military had the "around the clock" armed bombers patrolling the skies as a deterrent and had just launched ballistic missile carrying submarines in 1958 with more to follow. The Jupiters were obsolete by the time they were placed in Turkey, yet the US still went forward. This move was just asking the Soviets to look for an in, and they found one.
The final chess move that failed CIA project to topple Castro that Americans know as the Bay of Pigs invasion. There were holes in preparation, but President Kennedy would not send in the air cover. Had he known what Nixon would learn in the '70s and the US would use to decisive effect starting in the '90s about air supremacy and close ground support ruling the battlefield, Kennedy would have pulled the trigger. The air power if you provide the boots on the ground is a formula the US is using to this day. The US just did not understand the power of air support in 1961, and looking at the AIr Force's smearing of the A-10 Warthog, it is biased against it today. This failed invasion solidified Castro's support despite not delivering on promises, and pushed Castro deeper into the Soviet embrace. That Soviet protection and trade would come with a cost, and the Soviets and Cubans agreed to building ballistic missile bases in Cuba. The construction of these bases would set up the Cuban Missile Crisis. Americans could beat their chests and say they went "eyeball to eyeball and the other guy blinked".
As we can see, the good guy Kennedy administration was not really reacting to bad guy Soviets slipping nuclear missiles in America's backyard. President Kennedy and his team of the best and brightest had a crisis management style where their foreign policy was really just jumping from one problem to the next with no grand theme. The Cuban Missile Crisis cannot be laid at their feet though as this moment in history was a result of multiple goofs by the USG system. The doves and liberal elements of the foreign policy system did not like Batista and he had to go. The US immediately recognized a ragtag band of rebels with a tenuous hold on the capital in a Civil War. The US placed nuclear missiles right under the belly of the Soviets despite simultaneously starting the program that would guarantee American nuclear safety for fifty years (ballistic carrying submarines). When the US saw a chance to topple the little tyrant, it could not finish the job. The US then stopped all support for the actual rebellion remaining on the island. The left can tsk-tsk modern America and say that our actions in the Middle East brought 9/11 on ourselves, yet none will look at that island just to our south and think of the moment the US nearly faced nuclear annihilation (besides the suffering inflicted on Cubans) as blowback for a series of decisions.

Yes, true. And there is a direct line of consequence beginning with Operation 40, and ending in 1973. The same players in 58, 63, and
do you align your Cuba theories with Oliver Stone's JFK fantasia? He had it that the trail to JFK 'real' killers (if not the actual trigger) were the same ones who backed Batista......if i have my conspiretheorems inline nad intact.
US-Cuban history actually starts earlier with attempts to purchase it from Spain most notably the Ostend Manifesto, which was a proposal for the US to purchase and make Cuba a slave state to make up for new free states. This is why the Platt amendment was enforced on Cuba after its independence as an alternative to annexation. It granted the US various rights meaning that Cuba was arguably a colony/protectorate. Also funnily enough according to Sergo Mikoyan son of Anastas Mikoyan (who alone among Stalin's cronies comes across as a genuinely good person), the relase of information in the crisis only concerning ICBM capable weapons meant that the Soviets realised only the larger nuclear weapons were detected. This meant Anastas Mikoyan was instructed to offer Castro the remaining tactial nuclear weapons by Khruschev, which due to unstable behaviour by Castro, Mikoyan decided against. Also the brother of Anastas Mikoyan was the cofounder of MiG (Mikoyan-and-Gurevich Design Bureau). http://m.bbc.com/news/magazine-19930260
Maybe we shoulda just invaded Cuba, removed Battista and installed a better pro-American stooge. It woulda been easy to do and saved a lot of later headache.
Or just kept Batista. He was not a great leader, but under his rule, Cuba was the third most prosperous country in the hemisphere, and Castro has been responsible for five to one-hundred times as many deaths (depending on who you want to believe). Batista was one of the first foreign leaders to learn that the U.S. is a dangerous enemy, but an even more dangerous friend. Chiang Kai-Shek could have warned him...
I'm with Camlost -- it's hard to understand why the USG did not simply steamroll the island and set up something more amenable to it's interests. It seems the straightforward solution -- you have to wonder. What's to be gained by letting it roil in Communism? Also, it's very telling that we've hung onto Guantanamo Bay all these years -- every instant of it's US ownership a slap in the face and bald-faced statement of US power. But why not go whole-hog and nab the island in it's entirety?

Obama started talking to Cuba when oil prices dropped. Oil prices had been propping up Venezuela; Venezuela had been giving Cuba extra cheap oil.
Anyway. Revilo Oliver says the Bay of Pigs invasion was intentionally flubbed to let the commies see who was coming out in support of if so they could be arrested.
"Revilo Oliver says the Bay of Pigs invasion was intentionally flubbed to let the commies see who was coming out in support of if so they could be arrested."
To my mind, Oliver is not the most reliable of sources, but whether it was intentional or not, it certainly had that effect. Between about 1958 and 1964, the whole Cuban situation was just appallingly mismanaged.

Safety McManus back for fifth year after undecided summer
During the spring football season, Matt McManus watched from the sidelines.
McManus, who had one year of eligibility left at the time, played a different role on the field as an athletic trainer, and decided to move forward with his schooling — apart from Dakota Wesleyan University.
McManus, a Hanson High School graduate, applied for physical therapy school but still kept the option for returning for a fifth year in the back of his mind.
"I told (coach Ross Cimpl) that if I didn't get in, I'd be returning," McManus said. "I worked out all summer not knowing if I got in or not."
Second-year head coach Cimpl knew McManus had some football left in him and wanted him to return for this season.
"To be honest, I was upset that his plan was to graduate and go to grad school because he had a year left (of eligibility)," Cimpl said. " ... I told him at some point it will be done for sure, but now maybe isn't that time.
"He wanted to get into grad school but the closer it got to football, you could tell he wanted to be here and we wanted him here."
After being put on the wait list at two schools, McManus found out he'd be joining the Tigers for one final season.
"I'm very excited about being back," said McManus, who redshirted during his freshman year, giving him a fifth-year option. "I was excited about going on to PT school, but this was always here for me. Now that I'm back in pads and hitting, it's really exciting."
But McManus, who is now getting his master's degree in education administration and is a graduate assistant for the athletic training program, isn't just back to be a part of the team. He wants to help the Tigers do something great.
"The team goals are first, and we want to make playoffs and do something that Dakota Wesleyan has never done before," he said. "I think that always has to be the expectation and from there just keep on building."
McManus and the Tigers open their season against the University of Wisconsin-Stout at 1 p.m. Sept. 7 in Menominee, Wis.
Cimpl has worked with McManus since his first year of playing eligibility and said he's seen a big improvement from the safety.
"He always understood the schemes and was always that second guy in line at first," Cimpl said. "Last year was his breakout year and he was the guy. He took his lumps a little bit when seeing things in a game atmosphere but learned to put himself in a good position."
Last season as a redshirt junior, McManus started in nine games and played in all 10 for the Tigers. He finished fourth on the team with 56 total tackles — 25 solo tackles and 31 assisted tackles. He also had 1.5 tackles for a loss, five pass breakups and one fumble recovery.
"Other than being a great football player, there's a lot of intangible things he brings to the table with setting an example, knowing how we do things, going through the whole process and being around for a while," Cimpl said. "It's those things that almost more important than him being on the field for us."
Sophomore Tanner Munk, a cornerback, agreed with Cimpl, saying McManus has been a leader to the younger players on the defense.
"He kept it calm and relaxed," said Munk, a Dell Rapids native. "He showed me that football still can be fun but competitive at the same time. To have him back is even better because he has even more experience now. If you have questions on the field, he's the one to go to.
"He's got a common knowledge of everything through the defense and also supplies that mental support and keeps us focused."

I'm thinking about setting up a cookies decorating station for the kids at my daughter's party. What is the best way to execute this? Should I have the royal icing in squeeze bottles or make individual bags with x amount of different color per cookie? Would sanding sugar be too messy? How should I store the sanding sugar? Has anyone did something like this? If so, did the kids enjoyed it? Sorry for so many questions. Any suggestions would be appreciated. TIA!!
Love this idea! I would use bags, a couple of bags of the same color so there is less fighting over who wants a particular color. I would have out all kinds of sprinkles, dragees, etc. and let the kids go to town!
I think you are going to have a mess no matter how you look at it, so obviously prepare yourself for that!!
what age are the kids? I think this would really depend on which route i would go.
For the younger crowd i would probably cover th cookies in fondant or royal icing ahead of time, then give them edible markers.
I was thinking of doing it for the 10 and under crowd, but I think the some adults would want a try too. That's a good idea leily. Maybe I will do that for the kids under 2. I saw some edible markers at walmart... Thanks!

I think you are going to have a mess no matter how you look at it, so obviously prepare yourself for that!!
Ditto this! I'd buy the big, plastic drop cloths you can get at paint stores and cover the entire floor space with them. The tables would be covered with plastic table cloths that could be picked up and thrown away at the end of the party.
I also like leily's idea for the smaller kids. The markers are so-o-o easy to use, and what little kid doesn't like to color? You could even draw simple designs on the cookies and let them fill them in.
Good luck! Let us know how it went!
What kind of icing would be better? RI or BC? Squeeze bottles or decorating bags with tips? TIA!
I make gingerbread houses for kids to decorate. I have found royal icing in plastic disposable bags with not deco tip (just cut open)is the easiet. The little hands have a hard time with the squeeze bottles. I also use the plastic table cloth and just throw away at the end.
Good Luck, Lisa
Thanks!! Do you make individual sets for each kid or a few bags of each color and they all share?
For a party I do a few bags of each color to share. Be sure they don't put bag of icing into their mouths--it's so tempting for them.
We do this every year for the little (2years - 7) kids and we have found there is less mess with the tube icings. Make sure you have more than one tube of each color because when someone tries something with a color everyone needs the same color. We always have fun. Garbage bags with a hole for the head and arms make great aprons for them.
I forgot to say I also put rubberband on the end of disposable bag so icing doesnt come out.
I did several of these childrens parties last Christmas and it was really fun for myself and the kids. The parties were paid for by the Grandma of each group and the Grandma of each group had as much fun as the kids.
I made name tags for each child and for one group, I stenciled an apron for each child. I baked a dozen cookies for each one leaving 4 plain for doing sanding sugars and the other eight had white fondant on them. The sanding sugars were in custard cups with a small spoon to apply them with. I had a thin white frosting for them to brush on the areas that they wanted the sugars on. I had just two royal icing colors in bags for them to use, plus I had two sets of edible markers for them to use also. I let them cut small shapes from colored fondant to "glue" on their cookies also. They were each given a small white box to take their cookies home in and they decorated the boxes with markers, stickers and ribbons. At the end of each party, I served hot chocolate and holiday cupcakes. The ideas are endless for other seasons of the year. This year I plan to have all gingerbread cookie parties. Hope this helps.
It was a flop! Poor planning on my part. I took on too much and was running around like a chicken with no head. I made 240 cupcakes with little fondant and royal icing toppers, decorated 250 4" cookies, and my centerpieces. I underestimated how long it was going to take me so I ran out of time to make cookies for the kids to decorate. I decided to buy store bought sugar cookies since I had made the icing already. I should of ordered them because when I went to buy sugar cookies from Safeway, they didn't have any. So I picked up peanut butter, chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin. I think I got only about 5 kids decorate cookies when I was expecting 30-40 kids and adults. So I had a lot of leftover cookies. I learned my lesson and hopefully the next one will be better.
So sorry it didn't work out. Live and learn.
I have cake birthday parties. I allow up to eight kids. Each kid gets a 4" cake iced and three decorating bags with disposible tips heat sealed with about 1/4 cup of colored icing each. heat seal the ends shut or you'll have icing everywhere. I have a few helium balloons around to decorate and punch and chips. The kids love it. I have had two so far and I have three booked for later in the fall. They always say they love it.

This weekend I made my cake. As always, I made the same icing as I always do, the Wilton buttercream, using 1/2 butter-1/2 shortening. Well,for some reason, the icing would not crust over( yes, I used meringue powder) so I could smooth it and it seemed to settle to droop and a sag . The weather in CA was humid and I did not even add all the liquid I was supposed to thin down my icing. I am afraid to use this recipe again. For fear of droopy cakes. Can anyone tell me what went wrong. Have any recipes you like to share?
Tanks in advance,
did you maybe double some ingredients and forget to double something else?? I know i have done that before.

The application of nanotechnology in biological research is beginning to have a major impact leading to the development of new types of tools for human health. One focus of nanobiotechnology is the development of nanoparticle-based formulations for use in drug or gene delivery systems. However most of the nano probes currently in use have varying levels of toxicity in cells or whole organisms and therefore are not suitable for in vivo application or long-term use. Here we test the potential of a novel silica based nanoparticle (organically modified silica, ORMOSIL) in living neurons within a whole organism. We show that feeding ORMOSIL nanoparticles to Drosophila has no effect on viability. ORMOSIL nanoparticles penetrate into living brains, neuronal cell bodies and axonal projections. In the neuronal cell body, nanoparticles are present in the cytoplasm, but not in the nucleus. Strikingly, incorporation of ORMOSIL nanoparticles into the brain did not induce aberrant neuronal death or interfered with normal neuronal processes. Our results in Drosophila indicate that these novel silica based nanoparticles are biocompatible and not toxic to whole organisms, and has potential for the development of long-term applications.

Making mobile advertising look good!
We met Human Demand Founder & CEO Howie Schwartz in early 2013. Howie is a serial (and highly successful) entrepreneur previously having Co-Founded FundingPost and OfferMobi (which was acquired by Moko Media). Howie is also an active Angel and Venture investor. When we met Howie, he was working on his latest company, Human Demand – a DSP and DMP in the mobile advertising space. Human Demand was conceived with a simple, yet challenging mission – to make mobile advertising "look good" – from our lens we would say he and his team are making mobile advertising "look exceptionally good."
Human Demand has raised over $2 million in equity and convertible notes from investors and owing to its customers propensity to pay rather slowly, also has a very large working capital need. Human Demand's working capital need was increasingly acute due to its success and the resulting extremely high growth rate. The objective was always to find a strategic buyer for Human Demand – one that would leverage its huge potential with scale – but finding the best buyer and also the best value meant that Human Demand had to have the ability to realize exceptional growth all on its own. That is where Fundamental came in.
We recently sat down with Howie to talk more about Human Demand and its partnership with Fundamental Financial.
What was unique about the situation and opportunity for Human Demand?
The growth of mobile advertising it obviously explosive, but the trick is to make it appealing – so that it would work to its potential. Many companies have been working on this problem for a long time, but it our view the results were modest – at best. Can you think about a mobile ad that was really memorable – or really made an impression on you? We couldn't and neither could many of the advertisers we spoke with. That was an opportunity. Making it work – successfully – was our challenge.
Did you face any special financing or capitalization challenges?
I'm a serial entrepreneur, and I have some experience in both raising capital and also getting the absolute most out of every dollar we spent. We know how to build great technology products and do so highly efficiently. As a result, we had a good handle on how much capital would be required to get our technology to the place we wanted it to be – and we felt pretty good that it was a sum that we could raise through our Angel network.
By raising the equity we needed this way, we were able to preserve both the autonomy we felt we needed from a strategic point of view and also as much of the equity as possible for the founding team. That was the equity piece.
Once we were ready to launch – and grow, we also knew that we would be faced with a huge working capital requirement. The simple truth is that while the margin we are able to earn on our technology is quite attractive, it is also the case that our customers are accustom to paying their bills rather slowly. We obviously could not afford to float that working capital need if we were going to be able to realize our growth plans. We also knew that it made no sense to finance our working capital need with equity – that in addition to being by far the most expensive capital out there – was also entirely unnecessary. We needed a working capital partner that was flexible, competitive, aggressive with their capital and, very importantly, which we could trust.
Why Fundamental?
We were introduced to Fundamental by my FundingPost Co-Founder, Joe Rubin. Joe had known the Fundamental team for some time and suggested that I speak with them. I'm a pretty cautious person to begin with, but I would say that I was exceptionally so when searching for the right working capital partner. There are several firms out there that claim to be terrific working capital providers, but in my experience I had always found their professionalism wanting. Joe is a life-long friend, and I trust him implicitly. Him recommending Fundamental, therefore, really meant something to me. When I met Tim and Roger, I could judge for myself that they got – or were good salesmen. So I continued to be cautious. A lot can be said about how long I took to get to know more about Fundamental, but in the end I can tell you that Fundamental exceeded my expectations on every level. They made clear from the outset how they could work with us and several things which they promised to deliver. When we finally started with them, we were transitioned to their operating team as we knew to expect. That part of the Fundamental team is as professional and capable as the rest. They worked diligently and communicated with us fully all the way through the on-boarding process, and it has worked like charm ever since. I was cautious about the lock box, their ongoing interaction with our customers and many other things – and all I can tell you is that we could not have been more pleased with our decision to have chosen Fundamental to be our working capital partner.

Trouble in the Yard is a Thomas and Friends: Model Series episode.
James, Diesel and Daisy have trouble with frieght cars: James backs his frieght cars into some buffers, causing the Spiteful Brakevan to collasp to pieces again (like in Donald & Douglas), Diesel breaks a hole on Rickety's bottom, causing ballast to fall on the tracks, and Daisy blows a fuse. Unfortionaly, the three stuck-up engines go to the Crovan Sheds, and decide to go on strike. When Duck hears about the noise, and the frieght cars grumbling, he goes to see what's going on and tells Daisy to pull a frieght train, but James tells him that stuck-up engines don't pull frieght trains, and that was Thomas and Percy's jobs. So, Duck does Daisy's work and arrives just in time. Later that month, James, Diesel and Daisy continue to grumble about frieght trains, so Duck goes to get Thomas and Percy, and so, the three tank engines do the stuck-up engines' work. Soon, after that, Duck tells Sir Topham Hatt about James, Diesel and Daisy's grumblings, and Sir Topham Hatt scolds the three stuck up engines and shuts them up in the shed for two months, and Thomas, Duck and Percy laugh.

New Delhi: Congress on Wednesday came down heavily on the Modi government for its dynamic surge pricing system on Rajdhani and Shatabdi trains, dubbing it as "anti-people" and an "illegal" move aimed at "stealing" money from public pockets.
"Overburdening the common man by surge pricing formula in garb of dynamic fare reflects the anti-people mindset of Modi government.
"While the courts have quashed the entire surge pricing concept as arbitrary and excessively burdening the consumer in case of Uber and Ola cabs, Modi government seems to have borrowed this 'illegal' profiteering idea with a view to steal money from pockets of people of India," AICC incharge of media department Randeep Surjewala said.
He said the move comes on the heels of an "unprecedented" three-time rise in freight fares, twice increase in railway passenger fare and a hike in platform tickets over last 25 months.
"This proves that Modiji treats the biggest public service provider – Railways, as a profit cow to be milked rather than as a vehicle providing connectivity and access at affordable rates to the poor and ordinary people of this country," he said.
Passengers travelling by Rajdhani, Shatadbi and Duronto trains will have to shell out between 10 and 50 per cent more under a dynamic surge pricing system to be introduced from September 9, aimed at raking in Rs 500 crore more during the current financial year.
While 10 per cent of the seats will be sold in the normal fare in the beginning, it will go on increasing by 10 per cent with every 10 per cent of berths sold with a ceiling of 50 per cent.
The passenger revenue target for the current fiscal is Rs 51,000 crore as against Rs 45,000 crore in the last fiscal, an increase of Rs 6000 crore for 2016-17.

Epic Builder: Home Health & Hospice
Atlanta , Georgia
November 24, 2016
Our customer is seeking is seeking an enthusiastic Epic Analyst certified in Home Health and Hospice to join their Ambulatory team for a 3 month contract with a high probability to extend. They will support the new development, build, customization, and optimization of their Epic EHR software. This position will implement, administer, support, build, and optimization assigned systems under the minimal guidance of senior members of the team. The position will require a good understanding of Epic modules, ancillary systems, and health system operations. The Ambulatory Certified Epic analyst is responsible for customizing the Epic EHR to meet the specifications needs of what the Office Management, Doctors and Nurses need out of the software. They will meet with the various medical staff, understand the hospital workflow, then build and developing within the Epic software to customize it so that the screens the doctors and nurses are using have all of the functionality they require. They will also be responsible for doing the software upgrades and maintenance of the software while in production. The individual they're looking to bring on will spend their time supporting anything from projects to manning the que supporting break fix and optimization tickets from ServiceNow. Our customer is currently determining how they will specifically utilize the consultant they're bringing on and the individuals skills will dictate a lot of their decision making in terms of how they allocate this consultants times. That being said, candidates must be comfortable working 100% on the ticketing que to 100% on projects or a variation in between. More than likely this person will spend most of their time supporting the ticketing que and assisting with optimization.
Our customer has a laid back environment but they also have a lot of projects to execute against and it is very deadline driven. The leadership within our customer has a lot of their plates so contractors have to be persistent in the right way when trying to communicate, i.e., e-mail and call and text. Consultants will likely be asked to do things outside of their job description as needs on the team or projects change. It's a very fluid environment and things can change on a dime so consultants must be comfortable with this and not get frustrated about 'not being hired to do what they're now asking'.
For consultants who aren't local they would be expected to travel in on Sundays and then work onsite Monday through Thursday with the expectation that they would schedule flights to depart Atlanta at 2:30 to later in the afternoon. Our customer has allowed 50% remote vs. on site work but that isn't a guarantee. Earning a remote schedule is based on performance and the comfort the team and operations has with the individual.
Our customer has a number of projects coming up that this consultant could potentially be supporting; - Converting 25+ practices recently acquired to Epic with an expected go-live date sometime in late Q1 or Q2 of 2017. - An enterprise upgrade of Epic from 2015 to 2016 with an expected to go-live date in Q2 2017. - Converting 6 hospitals (1,500 beds) recently acquired from their respective EHRs to Epic with an expected go-live date in Q1 or Q2 of 2018.

C-String bikini bottom proves there are things worse than thongs (VIDEO)
No one likes pesky panty lines, but I'd rather rock them for the rest of my life than try out the new C-string. In case you haven't heard, the C-string is a less bulky (but completely impractical) version of the thong. In fact, I don't think you can even call it underwear. It's literally a piece of fabric that covers a small part of your vagina that's held up with a teeny tiny bit of wire at the back. It looks more like a panty liner than an actual bottom to me. And I have a really hard time believing this thing actually stays put!
Read more ¿Qué más?: 6 Amazing no-show lingerie solutions for any summer outfit (PHOTOS)
C-String's website claims you can wear it as lingerie or even as a bikini bottom, but they say nothing to reassure me that it won't fall off. Honestly, how could it not? I'm assuming you'd pop the wire in between your butt cheeks or something, which would make swimming (or even just walking) impossible without this thing falling out. In order to get anywhere with this thing on, I'd probably have to grab on to my crotch the entire time. Plus, it shows SO much skin it almost doesn't make sense to wear anything at all. What's the point? It's probably more uncomforable than going commando.
And it might help hide panty lines, but after checking out the product's promotional video I learned that it can causes an entirely different fashion dilemma. Under thin fabrics, the front, thong-shape part shows and the wire pops out in the back. Now how is a wire poking from your behind any better than panty lines? It's worse!
As stupid as this product proves to be, I get where the inventors where going with this. They were obviously trying to come up with a product that would avoid ugly tan lines and pesky panty lines, but the C-String just makes no sense. Either keep your panties on or go commando--plain and simple!

What do you think of the C-String?
From Our Amigos
What do you think of the C-String?
It is so ridiculous. It doesn't even stay put as I seen the woman trying to fix it every once in awhIle from the front. Honestly, when I seen the back of the wire "String" , I was thinking it maybe was meant to be put up your anal...eww!! People come up with the most stupidest things ever... Even the men were like .."what the Fu**!"
EWwww noo I don't like it at all haha
ugh.. disgusting.. I will pass on that.
Ugh!! I don't like bikinis and I would definitely NOT like this either.
heck no ! im sorry but i rather wear NO underwear than that lol
OMG!! This is hilarious and extremely ridiculous. I wouldn't even try it.
Nope, they're not for me.

what is recommended brand/model for 100 users? we are usually saving big files like CAD and 3D files.
18 Replies
Nov 9, 2011 at 9:12 UTC
SAM-SD or a ReadyNAS
Nov 9, 2011 at 9:16 UTC
How much storage will probably influence the product. Drobo makes a solid 12 bay that can hold up to about 30tb, Iomega and Netgear also have similar products.
I use a 5 bay DroboFS at home for media storage (8tb) and streaming to my media players, and have been pretty happy with it. Its really user friendly, basically plug and play.
Nov 9, 2011 at 9:25 UTC
thanks for the reply.
My friend recommends QNAP NAS TS-859U-RP+ with 4 x Seagate Constellation ES ST2000NM0011 2TB.
I'm not sure if is fit with my requirements because the local reseller here in Philippines have no demo unit. My main concern is the READ / WRITE speed across the network. We have 100 users. Anyone give me advise / recommendation?
Thank you in advance and best regards.
Nov 9, 2011 at 9:32 UTC
Don't have any experience with Qnap, most of the files I upload into my Drobo are 1GB+, and my upload speeds on a home network are about 30 MBPS. Again, this is a residential network and home user NAS by Drobo.
Suggested places to check out in Spiceworks for info:

The hardest thing for you right now is going to be the drives. With the flooding in Thailand drive costs have skyrocketed!
Good luck!

what is recommended brand/model for 100 users? we are usually saving big files like CAD and 3D files.
Will this be for archiving or will you be doing collaboration or actually manipulation off of them?
Using anything like Revit?

- Pick the one for the capacity & growth needed
- Keep in mind backups
- Related, keep in mind disaster recovery
... My friend recommends QNAP NAS TS-859U-RP+ ...
Seems light (as do other the home/prosumer NAS products mentioned) for the task of serving large files for ~100 users.
... The hardest thing for you right now is going to be the drives. With the flooding in Thailand drive costs have skyrocketed! ...
Ugh, just went through that — 200% to 300% jump.

Brand Representative for Egnyte
I would recommend Netgear ReadyNAS, perhaps ReadyNAS 3200 series since you're working with larger files. I've heard pretty good things about its performance from our customers.
Nov 10, 2011 at 3:17 UTC
We've been discussing the QNAP devices on http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/post/1026097
There appears to be quite a few happy customers, though we haven't managed to get our hand on one yet
Nov 10, 2011 at 6:19 UTC
We have a QNAP TS-259 and TS-459. We're not storing any particularly large files, but we are supporting approx 250 users and these devices seem to be doing a pretty good job.
Nov 10, 2011 at 8:23 UTC
ReadyNAS. I've got one and really like it. I also have a StoreVault, like it too but very expensive.
Nov 10, 2011 at 1:08 UTC
Iomega! Iomega! Iomega! We have a full line of StorCenter products that fit your needs - device-to-device replication, iSCSI support, VMware and Citrix certified, Intel processor - the list goes on and on. Check out our px series - available in desktop or rackmount. We are a wholly owned EMC company so we have EMC technologies built in. Feel free to ask any questions you may have!
Nov 10, 2011 at 4:43 UTC
The StorCenter PX4-300r or PX12-350r would be a great fit if you are looking for a rack mount device.
Nov 10, 2011 at 4:48 UTC
I really like the Synology products. http://www.synology.com/us/index.php
They are fast, easy to deploy, and are feature rich. We are a construction/development company. I have to deal with CAD and REVIT files all the time.

Hey, I Noticed you are currently evaluating NAS products right now, have a look at Drobo's Vendor page for info on all of our NAS devices, and the current Buy One Get One Free Drobo promotion we have going on!

Update, the Promo offer will be up tomorrow, but you can go here for details:

Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
It's moments like this we realize how many storage vendors are partnered in the community ;)
The place to start is not talking about the number of users or saying "big files." Number of users is irrelevant. And everyone thinks that their files are big - they aren't. I move PB per day and I don't consider us a "big" environment, just larger than average. Stick with real numbers that matter or else we are going to recommend things far beyond your needs. I have a SAM-SD at home - so my view of scale is very different than most peoples. Few companies have that kind of storage horsepower and none of the vendors here make products that fast or large - but likely they all make plenty for you.
Start by coming up with the actually capacity that you will need. 500GB? 1TB? 10TB? 20TB?
The capacity alone will rule out tons of options. Then lets talk IOPS. What kind of network throughput do you need? What does the access look like? What technology is the access (CIFS, NFS, iSCSI?) How often are files accessed? What kind of latency concerns do you have? Etc.
Nov 11, 2011 at 10:15 UTC
As SAM stated, you have many unanswered questions yet. The last thing you want to do is run out and buy something that you will regret later and have to replace because it did not fit.
Once you know your answers, your choice will become more clear.
Dec 9, 2011 at 2:35 UTC
Any more specificity on this project?

Dunkin Donut's Plans Iced Coffee Day Fundraiser
Small coffees for 50 cents will help benefit Homes for Our Troops.
CANTON, Mass. -- Quick-serve coffee chain Dunkin' Donuts is offering consumers a chance to kick off the iced coffee season while also helping injured veterans in need with a new, all-day "Iced Coffee Day" event on April 21.
During the promotion, the price for a small, 16-ounce cup of iced coffee will be reduced to 50 cents at participating Dunkin' Donuts shops. For every small iced coffee purchased that day Dunkin' Donuts will donate five cents to benefit Homes for Our Troops, a national, nonprofit organization building specially adapted homes for severely injured veterans, the company stated.
"Dunkin' Donuts admires and respects the commitment of veterans who have given selflessly to their country and we are proud to play an active role in helping them rebuild their lives," Steve Caldeira, chief global communications and public affairs officer for Dunkin' Brands, said in a statement. "We hope our involvement will inspire our customers to sign up to become Homes for Our Troops volunteers and join our effort to help these brave men and women live the rest of their lives to the fullest."
Dunkin' Donuts began its partnership with Homes for Our Troops in December 2008 when the Dunkin' Brands Community Foundation donated $100,000 to support 10 "Build Brigades"—a three-day construction project to get a house framed, install doors, windows, roof and siding, the company stated.
In addition to the "Iced Coffee Day," Dunkin' Donuts also launched a nationwide call to recruit 1 million new volunteers to support Homes for Our Troops' efforts, and offered the first 200 people to sign up as volunteers at a special promotional Web site—www.dunkindonuts.com/icedcoffeeday—will receive free Dunkin' Donuts coffee for one month.
"Dunkin' Donuts continues to demonstrate its dedication to supporting military families and soldiers serving overseas," John Gonsalves, president and founder of Homes for Our Troops, said in a statement. "Through its ongoing support, we are able to provide severely injured veterans who have returned from Iraq and Afghanistan and sacrificed so much for their country with specially adapted homes that enable them to regain independence that was lost as a result of their injuries."

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man.Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded -- here and there, now and then -- are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as "bad luck." -- Robert A. Heinlein

So, so...
I bought 5 of these stools b/c they were nice wide stools that swivel with a back and chair arms. While they look great and those features all really come in handy, the chairs squeak terribly when you swivel them. We've taken them apart, but because it's a tension coil, nothing can be oiled or lubricated to make it stop. Very loud and annoying. In addition, the finish wears off very easily especially around the foot area. It's positioned perfectly to rest your feet there, but all my stools after less than 6 months have a brass area on the foot rest under the seat. Very disappointing.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
When is it used? Who can use it? What forms are needed? How to obtain them when residing in a different State? Thnx~ :)
A constructive trust has nothing to do with estate planning. A constructive trust is an involuntary equitable trust created by operation of law as a remedy to compel the transfer of property from the person wrongfully holding it to the rightful owner.
California Civil Code section 2223 provides that "[o]ne who wrongfully detains a thing is an involuntary trustee thereof, for the benefit of the owner."
Civil Code section 2224 states that "[o]ne who gains a thing by fraud, accident, mistake, undue influence, the violation of a trust, or other wrongful act, is, unless he or she has some other and better right thereto, an involuntary trustee of the thing gained, for the benefit of the person who would otherwise have had it."
Under these statutes and the case law applying them, a constructive trust may only be imposed where the following three conditions are satisfied:
(1) the existence of a res (property or some interest in property);
(2) the right of a complaining party to that res; and
(3) some wrongful acquisition or detention of the res by another party who is not entitled to it.
(Burlesci v. Petersen, (1998) 68 Cal.App.4th 1062, 1069.)
Constructive trust is a remedy, not a cause of action. (PCO, Inc. v. Christensen, Miller, Fink, Jacobs, Glaser, Weil & Shapiro, LLP (2007) 150 Cal.App.4th 384, 398.)

Wow, Thank you very much... Gift of the Residue of my Estate: Everything that is left of my Estate after all of the above gifts, & after death death taxes, the payment of my debts, & the exspence of my funeral & last illness & of the administration of my property & estate, costs, expenses of litigation, counsel, fees or other charges which the Executor may incurr shall be given to Mike Smith(our Dad, fake name..) of San Feancisco, Ca. free of all death taxes. If Mike Smith does not survive me, then his "HALF" of this gift shall be divided equally among his then living children, free of death taxes. General Disinheritance; Except as otherwise provided in this will, I have intentionally omitted to provide for any of my heirs, or persons claiming to be my heirs, living at the date of my deathwhether known to me or not. I have a high regard for my half brother Mike Smith. Desiring that a significant part of my estate pass to some of the the people who are significant part of my estate pass to some of the people who are broadly , members of my family & recognizing that Mike Smith is elderly, & may not survive me, I have IN THIS WILL made a gift of a large part of my estate to the then living children of Mike Smith if Mike Smith does not survive me...............My Sister & I never even got a notice of her death of probate hearings. We live in Wa. state & our Aunt lived in Northern California. Our Aunt specifically diswilled 1 of her other half brothers & anyone in their family also her sister too & any of her descendants....YET ALL OF THEM ENDED UP INHERITING SOMETHING...My Sister & I are the ONLY ones thsat did not inherit anything! We weren't even notified-. Where it says my Aunt gave the Residuary to our Dad & if he didnt survive her his HALF then would pass to us...The other half was to of gone to us, that is the way she made it in her Will as it looks to a many a people, yet charietys got our part?! Now whats wrong with this picture?! Please help ..:l TY
Those disinherited family members were specifically named to be didinherited too...
disinherited, oops...my bad
We are the then living children of Mike Smith, also named as her nieces as well in her Will....
I mean the family that got specifically disinherited she put stuff like....I LEAVE HIM NOTHING! OR ANY OF THEIR DESCENDANTS ETC... We are the ones she wanted it to go to... My Dad's former ex stepson whom is also an Attorney here in WASH STATE. not only took our Aunts estate but our Dads as well. We have our Aunt on tape vcr in panic that my Dads exwife & here sons would end up with it & THEY DID.-Abunch of unclaimed property since thats how we found out about everything by just checking some of our familys names & our Aunts was 1 of those names & she popped up over 25 times with unclaimed like dividends, stocks, securites, etc... TOTALLING OVER $75,000.00... Shouldnt that be enough to reopen the probate?
Her estate over $5,000,000.00+
I agree with the previous answer and will just add that a constructive trust is the law's remedy for the loss of property as a result of fraud or self-dealing. It is imposed by a court in order to prevent the unjust enrichment of one party at expense of another. It typically results from the breach of a fiduciary relationship, where the fiduciary fraudulently induces the other party to transfer the property to the fiduciary.

ok then, this is EXACTLY what I need here then...My Sister & I were never given a notice of our Aunts probate... So who would I go after then since there was an Executor & also an Administrator BOTH handling my Aunts estate...?
If you look above at the attorney & go to his comments I show what part of my Aunts will said...will you read it please... :)
I think you should contact a California probate litigation attorney as soon as possible.
A constructive trust is a legal remedy. It is not a kind trust that is created by a settlor. The court imposes a constructive trust on the assets of a liable person who is in possession of trust assets that have been wrongfully taken, such as financial elder abuse or undue influence.Ask a similar question

why would a boy ask if he could kiss a girl? Is it wrong that I said no when I really would have liked the kiss?
Most Helpful Guy
"why would a boy ask if he could kiss a girl?"
He wanted to kiss you and was being considerate rather than trying to force himself on you. It's commendable that he's such a gentleman.
"Is it wrong that I said no when I really would have liked the kiss?"
YES. You ever wonder where this whole "No means Yes" nonsense comes from that rapists, sexual harrassers, and just plain old creeps use to justify their unwanted advances? It comes from girls playing these kinds of head games with guys.
It's okay if you weren't sure that you wanted to be kissed or you changed your mind later, but do NOT say "No" when you actually mean "Yes!" You do a disservice to men by giving us confused signals, to women by giving an excuse for priggish behavior, and lastly to yourself for turning away a guy who has no idea what you were thinking.
And the poor guy has just now been rejected. I feel sorry for him.10|10|0

One tenant complains that her missing umbrella closely resembles the one belonging to "Tim Kaiser in apartment 12-B". Tim Kaiser was a producer of the episode.
Goof: When Grace gets in the elevator with her election materials, there are several rolled up posters in the top box. As the scene progresses, the position, number and condition of these posters changes constantly. Also at the end of the scene, as Grace is at her door, she balances the boxes on her hip whilst searching for the keys in her bag. Then when she finds them, there is a shot of Will then back to Grace and the boxes are on the floor by the side of her door. She certainly didn't have time to put them down.
Will has been the tenant board president for four years.
Klaus Von Puppy and Guapo both appear in this episode.
The black soot on Grace's face changes as they change camera shots. Plus, Grace manages to change clothes and have a shower just before the meeting, and that all happens in just a few minutes.
Tenant: That's only 36. Who didn't vote?
Grace: Me! I didn't vote! I win!
Will: You voted, you banana.
Grace: So I try to light a fire and the next thing I know, the entire apartment is full of smoke.
Will:Did you check the flue?
Grace: Yeah.
Will: Did you use dry wood?
Grace: Yeah.
Will: Did you know that your fireplace has been sealed shut, effectively rendering it non-functional?
Grace: No!
Will: Might be your problem.
Rosario: Dogs, rapping, strange boys calling in the middle of the night. When I prayed to the Madonna for a husband, maybe I should have been more specific.
Jack: Oh, my god. You pray to Madonna, too?
Grace: How come your fireplace works?
Will: Because I'm sleeping with the president of the tenants' association.
Grace: That's you.
Will: Yes, and I'm tender but rough when I need to be.
Mrs. Pressman: I'd like a fire, but he won't let me.
Mr. Pressman: You want heat? Here's an idea: light your mother on fire!
Grace: I'm a tenant with an issue!
Will: You're a tenant with a LOT of issues.
(Jack weeping after the loss of Guapo)
Karen: Oh honey, what can I do? Do you want another bird?
Jack: No..how can you even ask me that?? If my grandmother died, would you bring me another racist dowager with a purse full of diabetic candy??
Karen: Sometimes bad thing happened to good people and sometimes bad things happened..to you.
Jack: I'm not following...
Karen: Oh screw it, bird is gone.
Jack: Guapo? Something happened to Guapo?? (Removes the cloth off the cage) Arrghhh..!!!
Jack: Wait a minute. If you've got cameras everywhere, does that mean you've seen...
Karen: Yes I have honey, and good for you.
Jack: (To Guapo, in baby talk) Who was a good boy at the doctor? Huh? Who was a pretty bird at the doctor? And who got the pretty doctor's phone number?
(Jack sees Guapo on the windowsill for the second time that day)
Jack: You again!? Oh my God I'm Tippi Hedren!
Will: All right, all right. Put your pompoms down, Tiffani-Amber-Annoying. I concede.
A nod to the annoying character played by Tiffani-Amber Thiessen on Saved By The Bell.
Will: That's Mr. French to you.
A quick nod to the famous character in the CBS show Family Affair.
Jack (to Guapo, the parrot): You again? Oh, my god, I'm Tippi Hedren!
A funny reference to actress Tippi Hedren, who starred in Alfred Hitchcock's movie The Birds.
Title: Election
The title and the premise of the episode are in reference to the 1999 movie of the same name, Election.
Jack: You're like notorious D.O.G.
A quick nod to famous rapper Biggie Smalls.

Wow, guys. It's finally happened.
So if any of you remember, I proposed a streaming party to celebrate a while ago, and it seems like everybody was pretty enthusiastic about it! So that settles it - we'll have an online party on Twitch TV where we play the Silent Hill games and have everyone join in with commentary. Like, bring as many people as possible! But we have to choose a date and time, and schedule, and what we're going to do. I'd give about a week, so maybe
Friday Saturday? You choose!
- Date: Saturday, January 5th
- Start time: 2:00 pm (North American Eastern time - Google for your own timezone :3)
- End time: As long as people want, late as midnight. We have people from around the world so we want to make sure everyone has a chance to join in at some point.
We all had a fun time on Jan 5! But we weren't able to get through all the games so we're resuming tomorrow at the same time. So if you weren't able to make it that day, here's your chance!

|The Dunedin Triathlon :-
|Distance: Swim 1/4 Mile, Bike 12 Miles, Run 3.1 Miles
The Dunedin Triathlon is held on Honeymoon Island which is known to be one of the most picturesque beaches in the United States.
Each athlete will be provided with a timing chip on race morning to wear on their ankle. You will be timed in 5 areas of the race.
1/4 MILE SWIM: The swim takes place along the middle Honeymoon Island beach. The average athlete will accomplish the swim between 15 and 20 minutes depending on the current. The swim is a triangle course starting and finishing on the Honeymoon Island beach. The depth of the water ranges from very shallow near the short to 8-12 feet. Swimmers are expected to negotiate the water with whatever swim stroke they are comfortable. In the sallow areas swimmers who move inside the buoys to stand are NOT allowed to make forward motion as they are OFF COURSE and will be disqualified by a swim marshal out in the water. If you need to move inside the buoys to rest you may NOT make forward motion. You may only make forward motion once you have regained a position on the course. Please note before you head to swim start to count how many rows in or out your bike rack is positioned so you are not confused when you enter T1.
TRANSITION ONE - T1 - Athletes are timed in transition one by the Champion Chip timing device worn on their ankle. The time from swim end and T1 begins when the athlete crosses over the timing mat. If you pay attention, you will hear beeping as athletes cross the mat. If you dont hear a beep, please dont turn around and come back. The timing company usually is able to keep an overall time for all athletes and we want you to keep progressing. Athletes may run in transition as they progress to their designated bike rack.
12 MILE BIKE: The bike course is a 6 mile loop over the Dunedin Causeway draw bridge and into and around Honeymoon Island. The lap is done twice for a total of 12 miles. An average bike time is 30 to 45 minutes. Those with bike times of 15 to 20 minutes obviously cut the second lap out and will automatically be disqualified. No radios or headsets are allowed on the bike course. Your bike helmet must be secured and fastened before you mount your bike at the mounting line. No athlete may ever ride their bike inside the transition area. Any athlete seen on the bike course without a helmet will be disqualified and asked to remove themselves from the course. HELMETS MUST BE WORN through the entire bike course. Without one you are a liability to the safety of the event. If you approach a no passing, dismount, or slow down area, do as you are told. These areas are set because we have very carefully gone over the course and take measures to keep you all safe.
When on the bike course keep to the hard right. If you intend to pass, make sure you have room, and then move out, and call out in a loud voice, ON YOUR LEFT. Make your pass then move again to the hard right of the bike path. DO NOT PASS ON THE RIGHT.
TRANSITION TWO - T2 Entering the transition for the second time you must dismount your bike at the designated dismount line. Keep your helmet on and fastened until you are back at your bike rack. You must dock your bike in the same area designated to be in at race start. Change into your running shoes and secure your race number.
5K (3.1 mile) RUN: The first mile of the run course goes along the coastline on the hard asphalt of the parking lots along the west coast of the island. It's sunny, easy and GORGEOUS. The second mile of the run takes you onto a hard packed trail near the beach and into the shady and remote trails of Osprey Trailhead. The final mile leads you out of Osprey and back onto the asphalt of the parking lot to the finish line. It's a great run and we receive great accolades from the triathletes for this portion of the course.

When I was a kid, I grew up doing a youth program that had a lot of fun games and races. One race in particular I found intriguing was the penguin race. As we lined up at the starting point, each contestant was given a bowling pin which had to be carried with their feet across the finish line, thus forcing us to waddle like a penguin.

So "parenting method" is always a very sensitive topic. I've heard many opinions on this subject and I totally might change mine in the future. However, if it weren't for some of these outspoken moms sharing their concerns- I would NEVER have given Barbie or Disney princesses a second thought. So.. I have read all these opinions... and well.... I don't like them as much anymore. Do I allow them? Of course? A little bit of anything won't kill you... (except my baking, sad but true- I am no Snow White!)
Please read, hate, love, disregard, ponder. I want you to raise your daughters how you see best, with all the love and heart and wisdom you can muster. That is what any good mama does! XOXO
With 50% of girls using unhealthy methods of weight control and changing their body with plastic surgery before 18... I have to take a step back and wonder... "What can I do to prevent this from being a struggle for my little girl?".
Body image is EVERYWHERE. We all know this.
These are things I do NOT want ingrained into her little baby head: exceedingly small waist & feet, perfect hair & makeup every day, needed a man to save her, extra large baby doll eyes, having to SMILE ALL THE TIME, extravagant clothes, needing to be saved by a man, or overly sexy appearance. Yet Disney princesses, Barbie, and a huge selection of girls toy options show these very things! I can't watch Frozen without staring at those poor sisters' feet wondering how they ever manage to walk their tiny bodies around with such super, super tiny feet!
Body Image- What is the effect of body image on the person? Body image shapes your self-esteem. Good self-esteem give you (Self Esteem.2 June 2014. youngwomenshealth.org) :
- courage to try new things
- power to believe in yourself
- confidence to make healthy choices for your mind and body throughout life
In reality, no person's body is perfect. My belief is that our body is a vessel for our soul - this is where I true beauty and purpose exists. Bethany Hamilton suffered the loss of her arm due to a shark attack, yet heroically she faced her fears of sharks and body image by getting back out there!
I love the work that Mr. Chris is doing with Special Books by Special Kids : "SBSK: Normalizing the diversity of the human condition." He shares his experiences with children that have various conditions and shares his beautiful heart as he introduces them to us... the nervous, unready American Public. I like to share these intro videos with my daughter as an education for myself in the ways to interact, appropriate questions to these PERFECT BODIES.. no, not perfect but 100% authentic and real humans that can be great friends.
Take Care of Business - I want her to know a lesson that my father taught me very young, and drilled into me throughout my preteen and teenage years... you know the "I can't wait to get married and have babies" dream. He reminded me that I should never rely on a man. Ever. If I want my picture perfect home, activities, and time with my children... then I need to take care of business myself and plan for a career. Period.
This really shattered my Disney Princess dream for sure, but in time I learned there was great wisdom in this and HE WAS RIGHT.
Gender Roles - Society now virtually ANY OPTION for a girl. That doesn't mean it is easy to get there, or without daily challenges. I am actively trying to combat this for her by sharing great women's accomplishments throughout history. She needs to know she can follow her passions, and feel confident in herself. No need to look to anyone else for approval. (Ask me if 18 years how I did on this. All I can do is try.) To help me with this, I follow A Mighty Girl Facebook Page, which has awesome and inspiring stories, with literature and facts in every post.
From Womb to Woman: Raising My Daughter for Her Best Future What does this look like in day-to-day? I am actively changing into the woman I want her to be, instead of -- "Do what I say not what I do!" parenting, which might be the case a lot of the time TRY AS I MIGHT. I have taken on my body image issues by getting fitness into my life through Stroller Strides, Body Back. I watch how I talk about myself infront of her. This is hard. I actually have to be NICE to myself in my self-talk. HARD. hard. Especially when I am so sad, so upset, so disappointed in myself. I actually say out loud, "I did the best I could." or "I am a great friend." Whatever I know a loving mother would say to me in that moment... whatever I want HER to hear in HER head when she feel that way.
I hope this helped, made you feel better about yourself, inspired, opened your mind, or stirred up something inside you. Find the fire inside you and be awesome! For little eyes are watching.
PS. I still call my daughter a princess, every now and then!
Please read, hate, love, disregard, ponder. I want you to raise your daughters how you see best, with all the love and heart and wisdom you can muster. That is what any good mama does! I know you are a great mama! XOXO
