My Own Love Song Reviews
Summary: Years after a life-changing car accident that left her paralyzed, a wheelchair-bound woman (Ren�e Zellweger) embarks on a cross-country journey to reconnect with her long-lost son, accompanied by a friend (Forest Whitaker) who won't let her wallow in self-pity. She used to be a singer, but lately, she's lost her voice. Maybe facing her emotional demons will bring music back into her life. Olivier Dahan (La Vie en Rose) writes and directs.
My Thoughts: "I found it to be a beautiful but simple film. I am not a big fan of Renee Zellweger, but this is the first time I felt like she gave a honest performance. I enjoyed her singing as well. She has a nice voice. I liked how the audience was introduced to the two leads. It jumps right in to who these characters are. It's an artsy film. I liked the poetic commentary from Zellweger throughout the film. I also enjoyed the music as well, which I read that some or all was written by Bob Dylan specifically for the film. Forest Whitaker, I thought, did a fantastic job at playing schizophrenic Joey. He was loving, crazy, but sane all at once. It's a great road-trip film, with some really great characters along the way. For me the film was about dreams, friendship, and acceptance. I loved it. But I am sure it's not going to be a film for all. But do give it a chance."
A well intentioned, yet flawed examination of a woman's journey to reconnect with the son she gave up years earlier.
Renee Zellweger stars as a handicapped woman confined to a wheelchair. Along with a schizophrenic criminal (Forest Whitaker) she embarks on a road trip to Louisiana where the son she gave up for adoption is asking for her to attend his communion.
There are some nice enough moments, but the charatcters are stereoptypical and the script predicatable. Plus there is not really a full pay off in its resolution.

I'm only at the beginning of the book (chapter 19) and I have to say that it is in the good tradition of Dan Brown's books. I have read all of them cover to cover and as always they push you to want to know more. I think the fact that these books make you want to learn more is the bigges... See full review

I dont know a good way to word this without anyone getting mad. So here it goes..... im concerned for my lo... she was 4 weeks early 5# 12 oz and didnt cry when she was born.... now she has breathing problems... i feel she should have at least been looked at closer but wasnt..... now im not saying that i wish she would have gone to the nicu i just think the hospital could have payed more attention to her breathing and the fact that she is so small...i just wanted other mom's opinions....
never in the nicu

@notanother1- do we ever really have an "end of the day"? Haha! I remember when my day ended with me getting in bed and sleeping 8+ hours :/
Posted 01/26/2013
I wanted to say to all the parents that experienced the NICU, God bless you. My son only stayed 8 days, and that was enough to crush my heart. I left the the NICU humbled and greatful that after 8 days, we were able to bring our son home with us while others stayed behind with far worse conditions than he. I dont know how you guys do it, and I admire your strength, truly. I was driving to the NICU several times per day, and staying till 2am every night. It was exhausting and just heartwrenching. To see my boy, who was just in my belly, have to be poked with a new IV every other day, and cut on his tiny heels just killed me inside. I remember breaking down sobbing so many times during his stay. It still hurts me to this day to think back on it. So I truly admire your stregth moms of babies in nicu. You are amazing, all of you.

Op didn't ask anything in her
orginal post. It was one sentence that I read as a statement. I wouldn't have been so upset if she had asked what she wanted to ask.

"I think as much as anything else, there's an adjustment period," Clark said. "There's an acknowledgement that as we work through spring training and as we work through the first month of the year that guys are steadily trying to acclimate themselves with those considerations. Sometimes they go smoothly, sometimes not so much. At the end of the day trying to see if guys can establish some new habits perhaps in an effort to keep the game moving to where we have a few minutes off the back end come off without negatively affecting the play on the field."

Play> *Mower Goats .im* mp3
Mower Goats is about using goats to mow the lawns, eats weeds and make cheese. Less gas powered lawnmowers… now.
Help write this song with me.
Trading Lawn Mowers For Goats
The mowing "machines are massive, constantly breaking down, [and they] use a lot of fuel so we have actually had to skip several years of the mowing program because it's very expensive," says Bob Douglas, the director of Andover's Conservation Commission.
Luckily, the commission recently hit upon a neat solution when one of their volunteers spoke to Lucy McKain, who tends dairy goats next to one of the city's preserves. They worked out an arrangement where her animals get to graze the land and the commission saves a few thousand dollars a year. The fix was a win-win for everyone.
People will want to do a green business like this, but interest will wane over time if it doesn't save them money in the long run," says Don Watson, a former CPA who owns the Loveland, Colorado-based company Rocky Mountain Wooly Weeders. That's why he tries to take on projects where his sheep offer a cost-effective alternative to mechanized or human mowers.
Watson also cautions that the business is by no means a get-rich-quick scheme. You have to be "willing to work 24-hours-a-day, 365 days a year," he says. "Sheep are constantly looking for a place to lay down and die" whether from poisonous plants, predators, or traffic. With that being said, he also sees a lot of opportunity for growth. He adds, "We need to do a better job of marketing what we do and we could probably double our revenue."

A goat, or goats, will not uniformly "trim" the grass to look manicured. So if you are considering goats for the task, don't expect your lawn to look as neat and proper as the greens at a Jack Nicklaus golf course.

Seasonal changes in relative abundance and biomass of nektonic predators were analysed on the eastern Patagonian Shelf and continental slope; one of the most productive large marine ecosystems of the southern hemisphere. Several migratory types were revealed for species belonging to either temperate or sub-Antarctic faunas. Despite high productivity, only a few large nektonic predators spend their entire life cycle on the eastern Patagonian Shelf and use only a small proportion of the meso-nektonic resource. Most of the resource is exploited by non-resident nektonic migrants, which move to the area from distant spawning grounds. Pelagic and demersal sharks and skates, the squid Illex argentinus, tunas and gadoids migrate to the eastern part of the Patagonian Shelf to feed at different times of the year; arriving in seasonal waves according to their life cycle and spawning seasonality. Some deepwater fishes and squid migrate onto the shelf as juveniles to harvest the resource, and then return to deepwater habitat as adults. It is hypothesized that the large biomass of meso-planktonic and meso-nektonic consumers prevents most higher-trophic level predators from establishing spawning populations in this area, as their larvae and fry would be overwhelmed by predation. Instead, the higher-trophic level predators establish spawning and nursery grounds elsewhere and arrive to feed on the meso-planktonic and meso-nektonic resources after they have outgrown their own stages of predation vulnerability.

"A rare, honest, beautiful, and, yes, sometimes heartbreaking examination of the echoes of water-powered natural gas drilling—or fracking—in the human community . . . vivid, personal and emotional."—Minneapolis Star Tribune
Susquehanna County, in the remote northeastern corner of Pennsylvania, is a community of stoic, low-income dairy farmers and homesteaders seeking haven from suburban sprawl—and the site of the Marcellus Shale, a natural gas deposit worth more than one trillion dollars. In The End of Country, journalist and area native Seamus McGraw opens a window on the battle for control of this land, revealing a conflict that pits petrodollar billionaires and the forces of corporate America against a band of locals determined to extract their fair share of the windfall—but not at the cost of their values or their way of life. Rich with a sense of place and populated by unforgettable personalities, McGraw tells a tale of greed, hubris, and envy, but also of hope, family, and the land that binds them all together.
"To tell a great story, you need a great story. Seamus McGraw . . . has lived a great story. . . . [He] is just one of its many characters—very real characters—caught up in a very human story in which they must make tough, life-altering decisions for themselves, their community, and ultimately their country."—Allentown Morning Call
"Compelling . . . The End of Country is like a phone call from a close friend or relative living smack-dab in the middle of the Pennsylvania gas rush. . . . Anyone with even a passing interest in the [fracking debate should] read it."—Harrisburg Patriot-News
"This cautionary tale should be required reading for all those tempted by the calling cards of easy money and precarious peace of mind."—Tom Brokaw
"A page-turner . . . McGraw brings us to the front lines of the U.S. energy revolution to deliver an honest and humbling account that could hardly possess greater relevance."—The Humanist

Memphis City Council committee advances Overton Square redevelopment master plan
The Memphis City Council executive committee approved on Tuesday the master plan for the Overton Square redevelopment, moving it on to the full council in two weeks.
Only Lee Harris voted against the master plan.
The $35 million project being developed by Loeb Properties includes a $16 million public investment from the city, with most of that money going toward the construction of a detention pond that will sit under a 450-space public parking garage.
The detention pond is part of a citywide flood mitigation plan, said Robert Lipscomb, housing and community development director.
In a presentation from architect and former city councilman Tom Marshall, council members viewed an animated demonstration that showed how a 22-square-foot detention pond will hold more than one
million cubic feet of water and relieve flooding problems for 28 percent of the Lick Creek Basin runoff area.
Pumps will remove the water from the holding tanks over a two- to three-week period.
"A lot of houses will stay in the dry as a result of the construction of this facility," Marshall said.
The city's $16 million includes about $2 million of a $6 million federal flood mitigation grant that Memphis was awarded after the local flooding in May 2010, Lipscomb said.
Councilwoman Wanda Halbert questioned why the presentation did not include other areas of the city that have flooding problems.
Lipscomb assured her that plans are being developed for other parts of the city and a presentation would be made at a later date by the Engineering Department.
In addition to the garage and detention pond, the city will also spend $333,632 to buy a half-acre at Cooper and Monroe for the Hattiloo Theatre, a six-year-old black repertory theater.
The theater will lease the land from the city for $1 a year, said Ekundayo Bandele, founder and executive director, and is now involved in a $4 million fundraising drive to pay for the new building.
Overall, the Overton Square redevelopment is expected to create 331 jobs, generate $25.8 million in annual sales and raise $2.4 million in annual sales taxes.
"Hopefully, this project will generate enough tax dollars so we can start investing in those areas that are not returning money," Lipscomb said.
After the executive meeting, developer Bob Loeb said he was pleased that the project continues to move forward.
"We're making steady progress on the city side and on the private side," Loeb said. "On our side, we're ready to go and we're looking forward to final council approval."
