Thomas Merton, from New Seeds of Contemplation
Picked up this killer quotation from a comment on our Facebook page. People are amazing.
W. E. B. Du Bois, from Vol. 32 No. 6 of the Crisis, October 1926, pp. 290-297.
As you read this poem, ask yourself a simple question and take some time to ponder it: "How, then, shall I live?"
When death comes
like the hungry bear in autumn;
when death comes and takes all the bright coins from his purse
to buy me, and snaps the purse shut;
when death comes
like the measle-pox;
when death comes
like an iceberg between the shoulder blades,
I want to step through the door full of curiosity, wondering:
what is it going to be like, that cottage of darkness?
And therefore I look upon everything
as a brotherhood and a sisterhood,
and I look upon time as no more than an idea,
and I consider eternity as another possibility,
and I think of each life as a flower, as common
as a field daisy, and as singular,
and each name a comfortable music in the mouth,
tending, as all music does, toward silence,
and each body a lion of courage, and something
precious to the earth.
When it's over, I want to say: all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.
When it's over, I don't want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular, and real.
I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened,
or full of argument.
I don't want to end up simply having visited the world.
The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.
Wendell Berry, from Poetry and Marriage: The Use of Old Forms"
Saw this quoted in Parker Palmer's excellent reflection on celebrating one's obstacles.
Rabbi Lawrence Kushner, from next week's show. (shh! here's a sneak preview via the twitterscript)
"Lost really has two disparate meanings. Losing things is about the familiar falling away, getting lost is about the unfamiliar appearing. There are objects and people that disappear from your sight or knowledge or possession; you lose a bracelet, a friend, the key. You still know where you are. Everything is familiar except that there is one item less, one missing element. Or you get lost, in which case the world has become larger than your knowledge of it. Either way, there is a loss of control.
Imagine yourself streaming though time shedding gloves, umbrellas, wrenches, books, friends, homes, names. This is what the view looks like if you take a rear-facing seat on the train. Looking forward you constantly acquire moments of arrival, moments of realization, moments of discovery. The wind blows your hair back and you are greeted by what you have never seen before.
The material falls away in onrushing experience. It peels off like skin from a molting snake. Of course to forget the past is to lose the sense of loss that is also memory of an absent richness and a set of clues to navigate the present by; the art is not one of forgetting but letting go. And when everything else is gone, you can be rich in loss.""——Rebecca Solnit, from A Field Guide to Getting Lost
—Reinhold Niebuhr, from The Irony of American History
If you've never heard about this major American public figure, you should listen to this: "Moral Man and Immoral Society".
Marcus Aurelius, from The Meditations

Like Father Like Son2 Reviews
Jack and Amy have some issues
It seemed like the weeks flew by and Christmas was upon us. I was so ready to be away from school, and I know Amy was too. Christmas was at our house this year so my mom had her hands full with the new job and getting things prepared for Christmas. I was in the mood to sketch today so I snuck away from the craziness of the household and shut myself up in my dads office. The girls were making cookies and my dad was getting the rest of the decorations down. I looked down at what I was drawing and it was darker than the stuff I had been doing lately. The run in with Mike the day we got out for Christmas break was still fresh in my mind and made my thoughts darker. He hadn't touched me since my dad said he made sure he wouldn't but he said a lot of things. This last time he told me Amy was screwing him too and that the baby probably wasn't mine. That she was a liar, and was just using me like she had before. I tried to push back what he said but they rang in my ears. What if he was telling the truth? What if Amy was sleeping with him too? I hated thinking these negative thoughts of her.
"What are you drawing" I jumped when I heard my dads voice.
"Nothing" I said and closed my notebook.
"You have seemed a little distant since you have been on break. You sure your okay" He asked.
"Dad I am sixteen and I am gonna be a father, no I don't think things will be okay for quite some time" I snapped.
"Okay, well I will leave you to your drawing" He said and exited the room. I know I shouldn't have snapped but I wasn't in the mood to chat.
Later that night Amy walked in to the room after a shower. I looked up then back down at my book. "You okay" she asked and slipped her towel off.
"I'm fine" I said not looking up.
"We haven't made love in a while" she said standing naked. She was trying to seduce me, I was not in the mood though I didn't look up because I know I might just give in if I did.
"I know, but I am reading" I said in a monotone voice. "
Oh okay" She said and pulled up her towel. She turned and changed then walked out of the room. Sometimes I missed when I didn't share my room, she was always here and I had no alone time anymore.
A few minutes later the door to my room swung open. I looked up and saw Lena. "What did you do to her" She asked. God I will never have a moment to myself.
"What are you talking about Lena" I said sounding annoyed.
"Amy, she is in my room crying. I assumed it was over something you did" She said with her arms crossed. I shut my book and sighed.
"Leave my room Lena, I just want to be alone! Can anyone understand that" I yelled.
"You are a real jerk. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and you have been nothing but a jerk since we got out for break. You need to come apologize" She said angrily.
"Don't tell me what I need to do Lena. Get the hell out of my room" I yelled again.
"What is going on in here" I heard my dad say then I saw him in the doorway.
"He made Amy cry and he won't apologize" Lena whined.
"Isn't that between him and Amy" My dad asked. "She is sobbing dad. It is so sad" Lena said sadly.
"Leave it be Lena. Go comfort her. She is really emotional right now as it is" Dad said and Lena reluctantly left. He turned and looked at me.
"What is going on. You have been a bit of an ass for the last few days" he said still standing in my doorway.
"I am allowed to be in a bad mood. I shouldn't have to explain myself" I said angrily.
"I just haven't seen you act like this in a while Jack. You need to be a little nicer to Amy since she is a little fragile right now. She is carrying your child remember?" He asked.
"How could I forget" I said and opened my book again.
"Make it right Jack" was all he said then he left. So many things were going through my head right now, I didn't feel like being friendly. I know I should be nice to Amy but Mike's words keep echoing in my head.
Gerard's POV
I walked into my bed room and Em was on her lap top. I got her a new one when she got the job. "There is something going on with Jack. And you might want to go check on Amy" I said and took a seat next to her.
"What is going on" She asked looking up from her computer.
"Jack is being a bit of a jerk and made her cry, or at least that is what Lena says.
"He has been a little grumpy lately, he hasn't acted like this in some time. I wonder what is bothering him" She said.
"Besides the whole being a dad thing" I asked.
"Well true but he has been good about it up till now" She said taking off her glasses.
"Just check on Amy and I will try to get to the bottom of Jack's ill mood later" I said.
"Okay I am off to calm down the emotional pregnant lady" She said with a smile and headed out of the room. I just hope I can get to the bottom of Jack and his mood.
Emily's POV
I walked into Lena's room and just like Gerard said, I found Amy crying. "She wont say what he did but she wont stop crying mom" Lena said looking concerned.
"Why don't you let me talk to her alone okay" I said and watched Lena exit the room. I sat down on the bed and hugged Amy.
"What did my son do" I asked.
"Nnnnoootthhhinng" She studdered.
"He had to of done something to make you cry like this" I said and ran my hand through her hair.
"I can't tell you" She said through her sobs.
"Yes you can, nothing will shock me Amy"I said knowing it had something to do with sex.
"He...he...he turned me down" She sad sadly. I tried not to giggle.
"Why" I asked.
"I don't know... I walked in and dropped my towel... and he turned me down" She said looking pitiful.
"I don't know what I did to him but he has been so distant lately" She said and the crying stopped.
"I know, he gets this way from time to time but that is just Jack. If something is bothering him he doesn't talk about it he just keeps it inside and it makes him not the best person to be around" I said tucking a piece of hair behind her ear.
"What is it that he is keeping bottled up? He tells me nothing" She said sounding frustrated.
"I know how you feel. Gerard can be that way to. It has caused us a lot of problems. He has gotten so much better though. Give Jack time. Let him know that you want to be involved in his life, that you want to know what is going on in his head" I said understanding how frustrating this situation can be.
"Okay, I will talk to him" She said looking calmer.
"Let him know Amy that you are here for him and you are not going anywhere" I said as she stood up.
"I will, thanks Emily" She said and walked out the door. As I watched her leave I sighed
"Like father like son."

Mountains and Water
The "Love of nature, love of natural surroundings, love of quietness… Love of the simplicity of Chinese water colour paintings" inspired Water Poon's latest exhibition, Mountains and Water.
There is a quiet beauty inherent in Poon's paintings, but what is striking is the awareness of the sense of space when viewing these pieces. This heightened awareness of space comes from both the unusual composition and framing of the images.
If you're in Vancouver, don't miss the opening reception with the artist at Art Beatus, from 11:30 to 6 p.m.

"Although it feels really nerdy when you're in your teens to practice loads, when you practice loads it helps you get an edge. I used to go to use the school drum kit at lunchtime because I didn't have my own yet. There was a lot of piss talking because there was a female music teacher and they were like, 'Lauren's a lesbian because she goes to play drums at lunch.' And I was like, 'First of all, I don't think that's what a lesbian is, and second, SHUT UP!' When you're fifteen stuff like that really hurts your feelings. That they would think I was a weird weird person, but then now if I bumped into someone I went to school with at Tesco – do you have Tesco here? Probably not. At Target – and they would be like, 'Ah Congratulations!' And I'd be like, 'You weren't saying that a decade ago when you were making fun of me.' I guess I'd say that stuff that seems like a really big deal and is really upsetting when you're fifteen isn't."

Cookie Shop
I am seriously considering opening an online cookie shop. I mean, I probably would lose money doing it… but I absolutely LOVE baking and my cookies are legendary (or so my husband's old roommates say).
Today I will be figuring out how exactly I can set up my own shop and figure out the pricing and everything. It would be nice to just sell them for a couple bucks… but unfortunately, the ingredients can be quite costly.
I am so excited about this! More to come soon!!!

A simple amortization functionby schaunw | @SchaunW | Aug. 29, 2013, 1:26 p.m.
I was working on a project yesterday where I needed to amortize out a bunch of loans to calculate the total interest a borrower would pay if he or she paid the minimum monthly payment for the full term of the loan. I couldn't find any package in R that already contained the necessary math, so I looked around and found this post as well as this one. They both presented the R code to do the basic math involved in amortization, but each function was built to handle only one loan at a time. I had well over 100,000 loans I needed to go through, and loops aren't all that efficiently implemented in R.
So I revised the code to perform that math on all of the loans at once by organizing everything into matrices that could then be added, subtracted, etc. It only took a little over three seconds to amortize 110,335 loans. I don't know how long it would have taken to amortize each loan individually - I killed the process after I got tired of waiting for it to finish.(More)
Data Science Needs Opennessby paulmeinshausen | @PMeins | July 10, 2013, 1:22 p.m.

Anthropology and data science need each otherby schaunw | @SchaunW | July 9, 2013, 12:51 p.m.
I have mixed feelings about my Ph.D. in anthropology. I often suspect I wasted a lot of time and money getting that degree. I studiously avoid using most of the theory I picked up in my formal education, I use methods that many (of course not all) anthropologists seem to view as quite un-anthropological, and anthropology as an academic discipline sometimes seems bent on making a poor name for itself among the general population.(More)
Quickly read Excel (xlsx) worksheets into R on any platformby schaunw | @SchaunW | June 20, 2013, 2:32 p.m.
I wrote a couple days about about importing Excel files into R. There are lots of ways to do this, but all the ways that use only R have drawbacks (as I outlined in my last post), and all the other ways require installation of programs other than R. I'm not opposed to using programs other than R - it's easy enough to weave, for example, Python and R code into each other. But I'd become curious about the possibility of solving this problem without the need for added programs, so I did some more searching.

Analysis isn't Enoughby schaunw | @SchaunW | June 18, 2013, 9 p.m.
I've realized recently how the last few years have changed the way I think about my work. This post is an attempt to put that thinking into writing.
I left grad school feeling I wanted to do more "applied" work than what academia usually offers, but I still assumed that application was a matter of doing an analysis and then letting people who make decisions consume and implement the lessons of that analysis. I created a lot of those for-application sorts of analyses for the U.S. Department of the Army, but left feeling I wanted to be part of the decision making process rather than just producing fodder for it. My current employer gave me the opportunity to work interactively with decision makers to clarify their goals and adapt my analyses to their needs, and also to be somewhat involved in the implementation side of things. So my career has followed a path of closer and closer integration of my analytic work with the decisions and implementation that my work is supposed to facilitate. I think that process has helped me better define how I think about "application."(More)

The Chiefs 2010 offseason plan still features a lot of unchecked boxes on the checklist, but these recent additions just may make jotting an "x" next to a task completed a bit easier. No task is marked complete until it's truly been accomplished. The faster those "x's" are marked, the quicker and more frequent "W's" will come around.
Yesterday's media scene at Arrowhead resembled an epic mantle of NFL knowledge, experience and success. Four men sat at the front of Arrowhead's media room owning 12 Super Bowl rings, 823 NFL regular season wins, 39 professional playoff appearances and 102 years of NFL experience. Oh yeah, and one of those men also owns a Pro Football Hall of Fame bust.

Conservatives still moping around about the outcome of the 2012 election have reasons to be concerned, to be sure.
As I noted last week, depending on many politicians to stand up for principle in the current environment can seem like a vain hope.
But then things happen, like the first robin showing up in a bare patch of grass surrounded by snow, which can lift one's spirits by pointing to a way out of the drifts even if they don't mean spring is right around the corner.
OK, enough with the metaphor. Let's look at two pairs of recent elections, the first in two historically left-leaning nations abroad and the second in a "purple" U.S. state, and perhaps feel a little better about trends in general.
FIRST, AND MOST SIGNIFICANTLY, an unabashed economic and social conservative convincingly led Australia's Liberal Party (which is center-right – the formerly incumbent Labor Party is the neo-socialist political venue Down Under) to a clear victory in last week's parliamentary balloting.
Tony Abbott, once called "unelectable" due to his views on the environment and immigration, swept into office in the wake of a major public reaction to Labor's stance on economy-crippling carbon taxes and open borders for "refugees" who primarily were economic migrants instead.
Abbott, who faced nearly unanimous opposition from the nation's media outlets as well as its left-wing elite sector, didn't back down or compromise on long-held stands that opposed the left's major policy goals.
As a Sept. 8 Wall Street Journal editorial put it, "One lesson is to beware the faddish politics of climate change. Labor won a majority in 2007 at the height of the global elite's drive to impose cap and trade and other anti-carbon policies. New Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, who had campaigned claiming to be an economic conservative, quickly moved to pass a windfall-profits tax on mining companies and a carbon tax in the name of doing something about global warming."
A carbon tax is essentially an extra charge on any kind of fossil fuel, but not because of rational concerns about noxious gas emissions, which are controlled in Australia, just as they are here.
Instead, these taxes are based on the assumption that CO2 emissions cause "global warming," a contention now in great dispute because despite constantly rising CO2 levels, global temperatures have stagnated for nearly two decades.
Since carbon taxes raise the cost not only of transportation, but of keeping warm in the winter and cool in the summer, they very quickly became extremely unpopular among voters.
As the WSJ put it, "A carbon tax is one of those ideas that economists love to propose but that turn out to be lousy politics. If Republicans want to toy with the idea, they had better be prepared to eliminate the income or payroll tax along with it. Otherwise voters will figure out that the politicians are merely looking for one more way to tap into their incomes, in this case by raising their electricity and other energy bills."
TOM SWITZER, EDITOR of the Spectator Australia in Sydney, wrote after the vote that Abbott was written off by the policy elite long ago:
"According to the conventional wisdom of just a few years ago, Tony Abbott should never have become prime minister of Australia. The doyens of the press gallery had marked him as a right-wing throwback to a bygone era."
But, Switzer wrote, Abbott didn't let that faze him or change his stance on the issues: "After all, Mr. Abbott is skeptical about alarmist claims of man-made global warming. He is a former Catholic seminarian who opposes abortion and same-sex marriage. His gaffes — he recently said a female parliamentary candidate had "sex appeal" — have provided fodder for left-leaning satirists. He is an Anglophile, a former Oxford boxing blue, and an unashamed constitutional monarchist who sides with America in the world."
What changed the debate in Australia, he says, was climate change. Does any of this sound familiar to American skeptics?
"For two years, the global warming debate had been conducted in a heretic-hunting and illiberal environment. It was deemed blasphemy for anyone to dare question not only the climate science but the policy consensus to decarbonize the economy," with critics being called (gasp) "deniers" and "conspiracy theorists."
But that stand collapsed when the rest of the world refused to impose new regulations after the Kyoto emissions pact was abandoned by many major signatories. Then, Switzer says, Abbott made it his premier issue.
Fiscal responsibility paid off: "One reason Mr. Abbott scored an emphatic victory is that he convinced voters that conservatives would not be profligate with tax dollars. It remains to be seen what Mr. Abbott does in office, but the formula worked at a time when the conventional wisdom said he was unelectable."
The bottom line for U.S. conservatives, Switzer says, is not to give up due to temporary setbacks. Liberal overreach (which we are seeing strong signs of already in the Obamacare and Middle East disasters) will affect voters strongly.
"The upshot here," Spitzer writes, "is that Mr. Abbott did the very thing so many U.S. Republicans and British Tories have shied away from in recent years: He had the courage to broaden the appeal of a conservative agenda rather than copy the policies of his opponents. As a result, Australians enjoyed a real choice at the polls…. Mr. Abbott's resounding victory shows that they relished this opportunity to chart a more free-market course."
AND COUPLED WITH THAT, another nation with a historic left-wing government took a turn to the right just after Oz. Here's Reuters' account:
"Norway's opposition Conservatives, promising tax cuts and better healthcare, won elections in a landslide on Monday but faced tough coalition talks with a populist party that wants to spend more of the accumulated oil riches and curb immigration.
"Led by Erna Solberg (whose nickname is 'Iron Erna'), a former girl scout leader who has overcome dyslexia, the Conservatives promise to diversify the economy away from oil, privatize state firms, and reduce some of the world's highest tax rates to give the private sector more breathing room…."
ALL THAT IS GOOD NEWS from abroad, but there's equally good news right here in America, thanks to recall-election voters in two Colorado state senate districts who took down a pair of prominent Democratic legislators — including the president of the Colorado Senate — who had voted to crack down severely on Coloradans' Second Amendment rights.
Here's the news from the Sept. 10 Washington Times: "Colorado voters stunned the nation Tuesday night by ousting two heavily funded Democratic state legislators in a recall election that was cast as a national referendum on gun control."
Biting the dust, the paper reported, were Senate President John Morse (D-Colorado Springs) and state Sen. Angela Giron (D-Pueblo), who "lost their seats in the state's first-ever legislative recall election, despite the support of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, hundreds of ground troops from groups like Organizing for America, and a 7-to-1 spending advantage."
The victories were considered unlikely by many observers, but they show that Democrats who think they are on the popular side of the issue in supporting new restrictions, which included limits on magazine capacities and required background checks for all gun sales, are wrong.
As the Times said, "The results of the double recall shocked state Democrats, who had insisted voters would back the Legislature's recently passed gun bills. Meanwhile, gun-rights advocates and Republicans were elated, betting that the recalls will discourage other states from pushing forward with gun-control legislation."
WE CAN ONLY HOPE they're right. With Chicago finally being forced to allow gun possession in the city by law-abiding Illinois residents, the final holdout to gun permits has fallen.
Not only can we start to expect improvements in the crime rates in that murder-ridden city, we can rejoice that the basic freedoms recognized by the Bill of Rights are at long last being universally upheld.
The bigger lesson from all these victories is simple, but often overlooked, and it has a metaphor in current firearms laws.
The reason to support "Stand Your Ground" laws, which hold that a citizen does not have a "duty to retreat" when confronted by a criminal in a public space, is that if they are not in place, then our public spaces belong to the criminals, not to honest people.
And when it comes to politics, compromisers who would sacrifice deeply held conservative principles, and thus the beneficial public policies that result from those principles, are telling conservatives they have a "duty to retreat" when liberals try to push their quack socialist nostrums on them.
Of course, that is exactly what liberal media outlets and liberal political and cultural figures are saying, too.
But what these elections all tell us is that "Stand Your Ground" can be a winning conservative political position just as much as it is a winning position for law-abiding and freedom-loving gun owners.
So from now on, let's tell the defeatists among us the same thing we must say to those who just want to defeat us:
"No thanks. We're standing our ground for liberty."

Parents of a 5-month old baby girl with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) have created a website to educate other parents and doctors about their child's terminal condition.They also are using the site to celebrate future milestones that she won't be alive to achieve.
"Imagine you've been diagnosed with an incurable genetic disease and you are told you will not only lose your ability to walk and move your arms, but you will die between now and the next 18 months. What would you do? My name is Avery Lynn Canahuati, I'm almost 5 months old, and this has become my reality. But before I die, there's a few things I'd like to accomplish…this is my bucket list and my story. SHARE IT & HELP ME TELL THE WORLD ABOUT SMA!"
So what is SMA? Here is some facts from the website:
"Before I share my weekend, here are some facts about Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA):
1 in 40 people (that's over 7,500,000 people) in the U.S. alone are carriers of SMA. I lost count somewhere between my big toe and my pinky toe, but doesn't that seem like an awfully BIIIIIIG number for most people to have never even heard of the #1 genetic killer of infants and children under the age of 2? And if you think about it, that number could be significantly higher than 7.5 million. I mean, do you recall when your last SMA carrier test was? Or the last time an SMA carrier test was offered to you?"
"I know my mommy & daddy were never offered a test to see if they were SMA carriers. Did you know you can ask your doctors to test you and your partner for the SMA carrier gene prior to conceiving children? And did you know that if you both carry the SMA gene you can use alternative fertilization methods (ewwwwww yucky) to ensure your children will be born without SMA? Or if you prefer, you can still try and conceive a child naturally (again, ewwwwwww), in which case you'll be susceptible to the following probabilities (proba what?)…" (See the blog for all the probabilities. I didn't want to pull too much from the blog.)"
The blog is written as the little girl and it's her telling about different things she is doing such as getting her first kiss, or first Valentine's flowers or visiting a college campus. There's a whole list of things to accomplish on the site.
Most readers assume it's the mother writing as the little girl, but according to The Huffington Post, it's the father.
As of last night the site had more than 2 million page views and was rapidly increasing.
I am just weeping as I am writing this. I can't imagine being told your brand new little baby won't be able to use her arms or legs and is going to die. It's just so sad. These parents are braver than I am to try to live in the moment and positively and make memories with their sweet baby girl. And also help others know about SMA and maybe prevent another baby from suffering.
So what do you think of their website and blog entries? Do you like the idea of making memories with their sick baby? Have you ever heard of SMA before? Would this encourage you to do genetic testing for it before getting pregnant?

I'm not a softie, but I was very moved when I heard about this family last week. I would not do the same thing and publicize this kind of situation, but everyone is different I guess. In hindsight, maybe it's not such a bad idea to undergo genetic testing prior to trying to get pregnant. I know the pro-lifers here will criticize this, but for some people if you know both you and your partner carry this kind of genetic marker, and there's a chance your child would not live past age 2, they might think more carefully about trying to have kids. I think I would have if I had been in this situation.

Just to add that I do think it's a bit creepy that they are writing the blog in the "voice" of their poor baby girl. I reread that paragraph above about SMA and it just feels wrong to think they are pretending their 5-month-old is writing it.

Oh SMA.. It tortures me so. My best friend has SMA type 2. She is now in her 30's. She was lucky.. I guess. She didn't have type 1 and therefore may live a long life unless she gets some horrible respiratory infection. She has a curved metal rod in her back to force her in a sitting position. As result, her back is always hurting. She is a very intelligent girl and graduated from Ga Tech with a Chemical Engineer degree. She can not work as a chemical engineer because if she makes too much money she loses her medicaid waiver. If she loses her medicaid waiver she will have to pay for so many things that even as a chemical engineer she would not be able to afford and she can never get her medicaid waiver back.
Oh, I worry about her so much. Her mother is aging. She only gets 12 hours attendant care – her mother helps her the other 12 hours. She uses her attendant care at work so she can live a productive life. Her poor mother who takes care of her at home gets up every two hours all night long to change her position because my friend can not turn over. Her mother has not had a full night sleep in 35 years. My friend doesn't even know what a full night sleep even means. She has never experienced it. Both my friend and her mother are growing through severe depression and anxiety. Her mother was always a rock but now I think she is afraid. Who will take care of her daughter if something happens to the mother? I can't see her lifting my friend much longer. And then , I think of all the things both have missed out on life; my friend has never had a private moment to herself ever. Always an attendant or her mother is in the room or just outside the room. I run almost every day. I wished my friend could feel what running feels like. She tells me all the time "If I could walk, I would run like you too. I would run everywhere."
So many things she has missed out on. It makes me very sad. I showed my friend this blog this week. I know that she would approve of families determing if they are at risk at carrying the SMA gene and deciding to not have children because of it.

I am a genetic counselor at Emory University, and I wanted to echo the fact that carrier screening is available for SMA (and other genetic conditions) and is best done PRIOR to pregnancy, when a couple has the most opportunities for prevention. Remember that the majority of carriers for SMA have no family history of the condition. Ask your physician about ordering this, or seek out a genetic counselor who can help at http://www.nsgc.org.
The views expressed here are my own, and do not represent the official position of Emory University.

I read the blog last week, and was inspired by the parents' determination to celebrate her life, no matter how short, instead of waiting for her death. It takes a certain "take THAT, life!" attitude that I greatly admire! I had never heard of SMA, but you better believe I know about it now, and for that, I think the Canahuatis have succeeded in their mission to spread the word.
I loved the suggestions that people have put forth as "milestones", and it makes me incredible thankful that my own daughter has been able to grow up happy, healthy and with a zest for life. I don't find it "creepy" that the blog is written in the first person — her parents are giving her a voice, because she will never have one for herself.

I do have sympathy for the family but this isn't the manner in which I would handle such. And, perhaps it's crass, but this simply falls into the "life isnlt fair" category and is yet an unpleasant hand that's been dealt and now has to be played. To extend the metaphor, since this isn't a card game and the option to fold doesn't exist, you simply deal with it.
May 1st, 2012

I agree with those who feel this is macabre. I'll even go as far to say it is really creepy.
May 1st, 2012
10:53 am
@Me: "you simply deal with it." They ARE dealing with it, and this is the way they have chosen to deal with it. It may not be the way you'd handle it, but it's the way they've chosen. No, life isn't fair — but nowhere in their blog do they whine about it. You can tell they are shocked and saddened, but they are just getting on with it in their own way, and using it as an opportunity to educate others. Pretty selfless, if you ask me.
May 1st, 2012
10:57 am
@DB well said.
Not sure I would share my writing with the world, but I do find that when faced with grief, writing about it helps me. My MSWord documents have several things that are my venting and coping, I just do not publish them. If it helps to publish their thoughts and allows this family to cope, I can appreciate that.
May 1st, 2012
11:39 am
@GTMom – So sad! You friend and her Mom are in my prayers.
@DB and K's Mom – Exactly what I think and nicely said. I read the article, but not the blog itself as I knew it would upset me too much.
I don't remember if I outed myself or not, but I am the Mom who had the recent miscarriage (I SO appreciated all of the kind thoughts and suggestions), and since I was writing a journal/letter to the baby, I wrote him/her one last letter. I don't think I could ever publish it, though.

May 1st, 2012
12:51 pm
@DB – I didn't ask you. I understand that they are dealing with it in the manner they chose. I simply stated that I would not deal with it in that manner. I never once said that they were doing anything incorrectly. I voiced my opinion; that's all. If you find it selfless, so be it.
I also just saw where the baby has lost her battle and passed away. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
May 1st, 2012
1:42 pm
For those who may not have heard. Avery passed away.
May 1st, 2012
2:28 pm
I read some of their blog and it breaks my heart..I can not imagine what they are going thru..If this is what helps them deal with it, I think it's great..
@DB..Amen..They are dealing with it and this seems to work for them..
@JOD..Sorry for your loss..Again, something else that I have no first hand experience (sp) with, so I'm not even going to offer words that I don't know would help..
May 1st, 2012
2:58 pm
@JOD, I am so sorry to hear that. I am sure you will always feel this loss, but I hope your grief gets easier as time goes by.
May 1st, 2012
3:26 pm
For those of you criticizing their decision to write a blog, have you thought that they did it to bring awareness to SMA? How many of you calling the blog macabre or creepy had even heard of SMA or being able to be tested for it before Avery's story was in the news? Hmmm, I'd say not many. I know I hadn't heard about it. This little girl probably had more impact in her short life than most of you so called critics. As you're sitting in your cubicle or with your tub of ice cream on your couch – not amounting to much – do you really think millions of people will be touched by anything you do, your life, or your passing? Probably not. Here's a tip for the critics of the blog: when you help raise $1 million to find a cure for a disease or disorder or bring awareness to one for the masses I'll listen to your gripes. In the meantime, sit back and continue to be sanctimonious arm chair critics.
May 1st, 2012
3:29 pm
May her family find comfort.
May 1st, 2012
9:56 pm
@JOD – I'm sorry for your loss. I cannot even imagine…
And for this family, I pray that they find comfort in their loss and the fact that they have educated so many on this illness. It won't bring their baby back but they have allowed her short life to make an impact.
May 2nd, 2012
12:45 am
Yes, she did pass. But, I had never heard of this condition before I heard about this sweet baby's struggles. So, she should have down educated MANY people about this disease on that list.

Actors' versatility should be applauded
Timing — we all know what it is, but sometimes we cannot control it.
But I can't say that about the wonderful production of the play "Greater Tuna" by the Galax Theatre Guild.
To say the least, the characters of disc jockeys Arles Struvie and Thurston Wheelis of the OKKK radio station were impeccable with their timing as the show opened with the radio broadcast. Actors Arthur Pemberton and Randy Carico are certainly talented.
With the methamphetamine trafficking problem in Galax once again in the media spotlight last week, some smoldering sentiments reignited for those who believe more could have been done to prevent Mexican drug cartels from establishing operations in the city.
Many feel that police could have done more earlier in the game, but what critics don't consider is that this level of organized crime was something new and unfamiliar in Southwest Virginia, and the cartels counted on rural law officers' inexperience to help them stay hidden.
A group of organizers are providing the perfect opportunity for locals to give back, as well as the possibility of getting much more in return.
There's no better way to gain the satisfaction of helping out, make friends, build a resume, find job connections and — if you're new in town — get acquainted with the community and its local organizations than through tomorrow's volunteer fair.
While some are unaware of the services provided by the Woods River Chapter of American Red Cross — which serves Galax, Grayson, Carroll and Wythe counties — to others, especially people who have received help after losing their home or even their job, its efforts are evident.
Thousands of animals euthanized
This information is to let everyone know how many pets are euthanized each year right in your own community.
The statistics for dogs and cats for 2008 for Carroll and Grayson counties and Galax show there were 1,000 owner surrenders, 784 strays, 202 reclaimed by their owners, and 214 were adopted.
The total was 1,928, of which 1,479 were euthanized. This means that 76.7 percent of dogs that entered the shelter were euthanized.
The Grayson County School Board has requested only level funding for our school system for the upcoming school year.
This budget request is conservative and includes significant cuts in personnel, transportation, instructional materials and services.
Our budget supports academic programs, career and technical education, technology, band, arts and sports.
Our children in Grayson County deserve the same educational opportunities as children in surrounding counties.
Holly Padgett Parker of Raleigh, N.C., is a Galax native and the city was her home for 27 years. "I miss it every single day," she says.
Let's talk a little bit about dialect and colloquialisms.
A few years ago, I was offered a hostess position at a very ritzy restaurant in downtown Raleigh, N.C. The owner and my company had done some business together and the owner was so impressed with my demeanor and professionalism that he asked me to come to work on a part-time basis and train potential hostesses about customer service and attitude.
Money is hard to come by, and Grayson County is working on a new program that could help spend taxpayers' money more wisely.
Recently, the county decided to embark on a plan to open a Day Reporting Center, similar to one in Giles County. The idea is to take people with minor felony charges — such as bad checks or minor drug violations — and put them to work in the county, instead of in a jail cell. The idea will cost the county around $5,000 to get started, but could save thousands of dollars each year.

I am passionate about quilting, fabric and colour. This passion has brought pleasure and joy to others over the years as I quilted on my domestic embroidery machine for family and friends. Quilting the three layers on a domestic machine proved challenging and this led me to the awesome combination of a Nolting Longarm Quilting Machine with IntelliQuilter.
I offer a quilting service, so if you have pieced or applique tops waiting to be quilted, there is a range of over 1000 patterns to choose from to compliment your work.
Our aim is to provide you with quality and friendly service.
There are times when we all need something exceptional made for a wedding, a baby's birth, a special birthday or to enhance your home or office. Please consult us to assist you. Designs for quilts/wallhangings may be similar but seldom will two be exactly the same as fabric and the finishing patterns will always be different.

Dr. Robert Lamberts in Martinez is changing the world of healthcare, at least in his office. He doesn't accept insurance, Medicare or Medicaid. Instead, He's charging patients a flat monthly rate to be their primary care doctor as much as they need.
"We don't control the system," said Lamberts. "It's the insurance companies and the government that control our healthcare system up to now."
After 18 years in the healthcare world that Doctor Robert Lamberts calls flawed, he decided to make a major change.
"I felt like I was on a hamster wheel every day, and at the end of the day I was not able to give the kind of care that I wanted to give."
He says the world of medicine is so focused on making money that doctors don't have proper time for their patients.
"It's financially in doctors and hospitals best interest for you to be sick, for you to need stuff, for you to have to come in."
Lamberts' practice is focused on keeping patients healthy and out of the doctor's office.
He talks to patients often through instant messaging, texts, emails- whatever it takes to treat small problems before they become serious.
He says the healthier his patients are, the more patients he can care for. In his office, that means more money. Patients are charged a flat monthly rate of thirty to sixty dollars a person.
"What I'm offering for that money is me. It's accessibility. It's being able to contact me before the problem gets big."
That fee only covers primary care.
Mark and Lisa Pendlebery are patients of Lamberts, and like 85 percent of his patients they also have health insurance. They tell me they pay the extra money for Lambert's accessibility and quality of care.
"If you go to the doctor twice a month, you've already paid more than you pay here because you don't pay a co-pay every time you go," Mark told me how he actually saves money through Lamberts service.
Lambert tells me he has a national following of other doctors monitoring his success and considering the same move.
"If I can prove that we can save money, if I can prove that patients are happier, that doctors are happier," said Lamberts.
Lamberts currently has about 250 patients. He wants to grow his practice to around a thousand patients and hire another nurse, dietician and councilor.
You can visit his website at: doctorlamberts.org
Would you consider using a doctor that accepted a monthly payment rather than insurance?
Can't find something?

Many congratulations to Festival Advisory Board member Roz Savage for launching her historic solo row across the Indian Ocean from Fremantle, Australia to Mumbai, India (approx. 6,500km!). Roz is an ocean rower and environmental campaigner, whose previous solo rows include the Atlantic in 2005-6 and the Pacific in 2008-10.
Before departure, she shared these thoughts: "What we need is more consciousness. We've got some big (environmental) challenges ahead. A lot of people feel like they can't do a lot, but we all have to do our best. It's not just about raising awareness, but to take some action too".
The Festival is sponsoring mile #57! Please pledge your support and follow the journey at www.rozsavage.com

© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
Gwinnett officials will begin a listening tour this week.The first in a series of citizens' forums is set for Thursday, after commissioners promised to go to the public for solutions on issues such as county finances. The series was promised by district commissioners hoping to regain trust after last year's indictment of Commissioner Kevin Kenerly and resignation of Chairman Charles Bannister. While the forum does not have a specific theme and residents are free to discuss any topics they wish, the event will include a brief presentation on the county's financial outlook, since commissioners have an $18 million budget gap to fill. Plans are to hold a session in each of the county's four commission districts, with the first scheduled for the District 3. It is set for 7 p.m. Thursday in the community room of Fire Station 30, located at 1052 Ozora Road in Loganville. The second forum has been scheduled for 7 p.m. Jan. 31 at George Pierce Park's community center, located at 55 Buford Highway in Suwanee. Two other forums are expected to be held in February, although they have not yet been set. All members of the commission are expected to attend the forums. Political Notebook appears in the Thursday and Sunday editions of the Gwinnett Daily Post. Camie Young can be reached via e-mail at email@example.com. For archived columns, go to www.gwinnettdailypost.com/politics.

Yeah, The 10 alliance guys holding the bridge in AV have an amazing ability to hold off any horde group you throw at them (thanks to the many mobs and the two towers that stop you from pushing forward slowly). Man i hate AV. If people could choose, who wouldn't take the bridge pinch point and closer graveyard to the keep? Alliance is EZMODE!

A Changing Baby = Changing Play!
Attention, grandmas: Your grandchild is changing fast -- and so is her toy chest!
It seems like it was just yesterday that your grandchild was born. Now she's changing and growing so fast it's hard to keep up! Well, clothes aren't the only thing that she'll need during her many phases of growth.
With each and every stage, your grandchild is developing and becoming more and more capable of doing new things. For example, a two-month-old will kick and wave her arms when she is excited and can learn that one event follows another -- and she can make things happen. Therefore, you want to encourage this new development and there are great toys out there to help their growth, such as a floor gym or activity quilt like the Fisher-Price Rainforest Melodies & Lights Deluxe Gym.
All children develop at their own pace and reach developmental milestones at different times. But in general, here are some different stages of play and what you can expect your grandchild to be doing:
Age and Developmental Changes
Toys That are Right for This Age
Four Months:
Eight Months:
Twelve Months:
Eighteen - 24 Months Old
Whatever stage your grandchild is in, Fisher-Price has just the right toy to encourage growth, learning play, and of course, lots of time with Grandma! Check out Fisher-Price.com for more information on stages of play, great toys and more Grandparenting tips.
