Poor Kids
BRITTANY: My name is Brittany Smith, and I'm 9 years old. It's tough because my mom and dad are poor. My dad just lost his job. That's kind of hard for us.
One day, I started getting in the shower and it was cold. I put— I put the hot on all the way and no cold, and it was freezing. It felt like shoving your face in a bunch of snow. It was freezing! The hot water shut off because we didn't pay the bill in time. It was overdue.
DAD: Sucks!
MOM: So what's the next bill due?
DAD: Electricity, going to be $318. We just need to put Roger's ass to work.
MOM: Yeah.
ROGER: When you see the flat screen TV and the computers and our PS3 and stuff, that's just things we've acquired over the years, stuff that we've had before we— before all this happened, like, when we were not this poor.
MOM: Sink's broke. [laughs] I don't know how or why, but it broke. And the cheapest plumber is, like, $65 an hour. I can't even afford $20.
ROGER: We lived in a farmhouse. My dad lost his job from Picture Perfect. He got laid, off and we got kicked out of there. We moved here. It's not very big. We didn't have enough room, so we had to put stuff in storage, and we lost it all because we couldn't pay it.
BRITTANY: How storage works is, like, you put all your stuff in there when you move, but you have to pay the bill or else it gets thrown out on the street because they have a spare key. I don't think it's right because people shouldn't throw other people's stuff in the street because that's just plain up rude.
I got a big make-up thing and I lost it in storage. I got a Brats doll. I lost it in storage. I lost my favorite teddy bear. I lost my DS. It was great! It was awesome! I'm bummed out because, like, that was my favorite thing in the world besides my family.
DAD: Yeah, caliper's shot. We got to get new pistons, at least, on it.
BRITTANY: My dad's brakes on the truck isn't working. One time, we almost got in a wreck. It sounded like nails on a chalkboard. I hate that sound!
When is the cable being shut off?
DAD: Soon. I owe them almost $200. The cable, the Internet all that, we don't have the money to pay it.
BRITTANY: What you doing?
DAD: Applying for a job
BRITTANY: Have you applied to many places?
DAD: This will be the third Minard's store I've applied at, Wal-Mart, the Anchor Place, quite a few.
ROGER: I hope that my dad will somehow miraclely get his truck working and get a good job so we'll be able to get money to keep this house, hopefully, and not get kicked out.
KAYLIE: My name is Kaylie Hegwood and I live in Stockton, Iowa.
[Doing cartwheels] Oh, yay! That one was good! That one was good.
I am 10 years old, and I live with my mother and my brother, Tyler. And he is 12 years old. I don't think we're a rich family but, like, I think we're kind of a poor family.
I'm hungry.
BARBARA: I knew you were going to say that as soon as you— you're going to have to wait, Sister.
KAYLIE: I'm just starving. We don't get that three meals a day, like, breakfast, lunch and then dinner. When I feel just, like, hungry, I'll just, like— I'll feel like— like, I'm so, like, sad an all droopy. And then I'll be— feel, like, weak and then some in the mornings, I'll be, like, so starving. But then I'll, like, be, like, Oh, I need some food! But then, like, I'll get, like— but then I don't think of food, and then I'll just think of something else and then I'll not be hungry anymore.
TYLER: There's good days and bad days. Sometimes when we have cereal, we don't have milk. We have to eat it dry. Sometimes we don't have cereal and we have milk. It's often, like, switch and swap. Sometimes, like, when I switch the channel and there's a cooking show on, I get a little more hungry and I want to vanish into the screen and start eating the food.
BARBARA: You can't pull at mom when I'm doing this.
KAYLIE: Stop pulling!
BARBARA: I'm sorry.
KAYLIE: How do you think you have customers?
BARBARA: Customers! [laughs]—
KAYLIE: I don't want you to fricking cut me!
BARBARA: I'm not going to cut you.
KAYLIE: You better not!
BARBARA: I've been in school long enough, I won't cut you.
KAYLIE: Or you're dead. I mean it.
My mom, she has very little in her bank. And like, she can't pay all of her bills at the same time.
BARBARA: My income is $1,480 and the total of my bills is $1,326. And that does not leave me money for food or gas. I've never seen it this bad.
KAYLIE: My best friend is Jordan and we grew up together. We like to go canning to make money. With canning, I just walk around, look for cans. And I walk— I walk, like, around the whole town. The non-squished ones are 5 cents
JORDAN: And the squished are 2 cents.
KAYLIE: Some people come over here for gas, and it's not here anymore. The dance hall— that's broken. Train station— that's still up, but it's all rotted and stuff.
Oh, another crushed can!
In 2004 is when this shut down, and now look at it. It's crappy.
It used to be so special. Didn't that used to be a movie theater?
JORDAN: What?
KAYLIE: That.
JORDAN: No.
KAYLIE: What did it used to be?
JORDAN: It was the old bank.
KAYLIE: I bet there's old money in there.
JORDAN: I'm not going in there! The floor fell in.
KAYLIE: That would be awesome if there was, like— like, thousands and thousands of dollars.
Tyler! Those are ours! Drop 'em!
JORDAN: Kaylie! Kaylie!
KAYLIE: When we can't afford to pay our bills, like, our house bills and stuff, I'm afraid, like, we'll get homeless and me and my brother will starve. You never know what'll happen in your life, so— yeah.
JASMINE: My name is Jasmine and I am 9 years old, and I live with my brothers Joshua, Jaylan and Jonny.
JONNY: My name is Jonny Davis. I am 13 years old, going to be 14 in three months.
We are in the Salvation Army homeless shelter. My dad had got a business and he was making about a good $5,000 a month. We had good and fancy things then. We had, like, a three-bedroom house. Our living room had a 32-inch flat-screen TV in there. My mom's and dad's room had a 42-inch flat-screen TV in their room. And that's what TV we'd watch the Super Bowl on.
CHILD: Those are eggs? Are you serious?
CHILD: [eating egg] Yeah!
CHILD: Why would you bring that out here?
CHILD: Because.
TOM: When it was good, it was good. I can remember having five or six jobs a month that were lined up back to back, and I mean decent paying jobs, $4,000, $5,000, $7,000, whatever it was. And all of a sudden, just right about the time when everybody was saying, you know, the recession is coming about, the recession is coming about, people just plain old stopped fixing on their houses, stopped making repairs.
JONNY: The payment on our house was due in two weeks, and I guess my parents just didn't have the money at the time because he was explaining to us business was slow. And we lost our whole house and everything, so we was back to ground zero.
Then we moved to a homeless shelter. Anything that could fit in a book bag or a suitcase, you could take it. Whatever, dude. Like, this TV, the yellow one in the living room, that only made it because it could fit in my bag. If it couldn't fit in my bag, that would've been left behind, too.
MOM: We have to go. Hurry up and let's go.
JASMINE: Hurry, hurry, hurry!
JASMINE: My dad works at a factory and we drive him there every day.
In, in, in, in, in!
The journey takes about two hours there and back. We have to go with our mom because the rules say that we couldn't be left in the shelter by ourselves because we weren't old enough.
JONNY: I thank God that he still has a chance and an ability to just still go out and get different jobs.
TOM: It's not a career or something that I want to spend the rest of my working years doing, but it's something that will provide for us to have some food.
I know this is tough driving out here every day. There and back, there and back. It'd be so much easier if you could go ahead and just grab us a place out here, so you don't have to make the trip back and forth. I look at that little house every time I ride past. That's a nice one there.
JASMINE: Sometimes, when I watch people who, like, walk into their house when we're driving, I wish that sometimes, like, I had a house like those people.
TOM: Is it me, or does this seem like it gets further away every day?
JORDAN: Kaylie, what are you looking at? [train goes past]
KAYLIE: It's loud!
I would just like to go explore the world, but I'm never going to be able to do it because these days, everything is expensive. I watched one show where it said they're raising the gas prices, and my mom can't even afford gas. We have to be careful how we use our gas, how we use everything.
TYLER: A lot of times, I have to give my money up to buy groceries and buy gas for the car and lawn mower for mowing other people's lawns. And I got $10, and I put in $6 of it for the gas and gave the rest to my mom for some food. And it's kind of what I do with my money. I don't think I'm going to do mowing for a living.
BARBARA: The bills here at the house is just too much for me to handle. And I seen a doctor last week for depression and she put me on some antidepressants and Xanax for my panic attacks. Right now, there doesn't seem to be a way out. So my only options are to give up my house and move my stuff into storage and move into the motel room.
I mean, I don't even know if I can find a job when I get out of school or if it'll ever get any better. [weeps] I'll have to find day care for Kaylie. I mean, she's 10, but still. Her and Tyler— they're brother and sister— they fight. [laughs] I'll come home and the one will be hanging from the ceiling fan and the other one will be God knows where! I'm scared.
KAYLIE: I don't want to move. I like living here because my friends are nice to me. Like, I want to just stay put here. We won't get to keep our dog, Nala. It's extra money, and we're going to get rid of her. Like, I want to spend as much time with her, but then again, I want to spend time with my friends.
JORDAN AND KAYLIE: [practicing cheers] Go, go! Fight, fight! Win, win! Go, go, fight, fight, win!
KAYLIE: When I'm dancing, I'm mostly happy. It's like I'm in a different world. I'm always dancing non-stop. I just love dancing. I'm just truly in love with dancing. It's, like, my destiny to become, like, a famous dancer or a famous cheerleader. I feel like it's my destiny.
FOOD BANK WORKER: And then, like, your question about whether you get food stamps or not. We're going to ask you for your name and your phone number—
BRITTANY: I think there's a lot of people in America that need help with food because they're poor or they're either homeless or They're both. We need food for our family. I'm hitting my growth spurt, and I'm really hungry. My favorite food is Chinese. I'm craving that right now. You know what makes me mad? We can't afford it.
NUTRITION CLUB WORKER: Oh, we got variety here now.
NUTRITION CLUB BANK WORKER: Oh, they just flip them. They flip the cereal. It gets them all excited. [laughs] "I want that one!"
TEACHER: Once you change the plot— you first change the plot, she makes the wolf wear a tutu. Wolves aren't ballerinas. I've seen a lot of things in my life—
INTERCOM: Mr Cakelin?
TEACHER: Yes?
INTERCOM: If this a good time for you, would you like to send your students down to the Nutrition Club?
TEACHER: I'll have them down there shortly.
INTERCOM: Thank you.
TEACHER: Thank you very much. Great. What I need us to do— my Nutrition Club students, go ahead and stand up, push your chairs up, line up. I'll send you down there in just a moment.
BRITTANY: Push your chairs up?
TEACHER: Yeah, push your chairs in.
BRITTANY: Nutrition Club is a bag of food that you get every Friday and you have to make last the whole weekend. They announce in class that you have to go down for Nutrition Club if you're in it. You have to go to the office and you have to sign your name in for it. And then you go put it in your locker, and then you go back to class. Poor people get Nutrition Club because they can't afford to get other food.
NUTRITION CLUB WORKER: They should be down pretty soon. Shouldn't take them long.
Hi. Good morning, Britney. How are you doing?
BRITTANY: Is Monica in the Nutrition Club yet?
NUTRITION CLUB WORKER: Not yet, honey. She's on our list, though. She on our waiting— she's towards the top, but she's there.
NUTRITION CLUB WORKER: We'll work on it, OK?
NUTRITION CLUB WORKER: Hey, make sure you put it in your lockers right away, OK?
ROGER: I'm surprised by how things can change so fast. You can go from doing OK, not having to go hungry, to this, going hungry and having to pay all your bills and not being able to, on the verge of being homeless again.
JOSH: What're you doing?
MOM: Trying to win something. You got to match the coupons with the pictures. They'll probably give you just enough to where you think you're going to win, and then you don't.
Hey, Josh, how much did the pizzas cost?
JOSH: I think it was five of them for 10 bucks. They taste like it, too.
BRITTANY: Mom, I found a match!
Instead of eating fruits and vegetables, we eat pizzas and stuff because that's all we can afford. Fruits and vegetables are more expensive than pizzas. We last had fruits and vegetables a few weeks ago because we had the money then.
MOM: Instant winner. Oh, I got a free donut.
BRITTANY: It's true, if you have a bad diet, then it makes you look fatter. Sometimes I yell at myself because I'm disappointed in myself because people tease me for the way I look.
Pizza again? No, I'm just joking.
MOM: I'd love if it was a steak or shrimp or lobster.
BRITTANY: Don't bring that up!
MOM: Do you know what? If you use your imagination, it almost tastes like it. Take a bite of a big, fat piece of juicy steak. Didn't work. [laughter]
BRITTANY: My mom can't work and my mom can't drive and my mom's sick.
MOM: When I get really stressed out, I go into episodes. They're like seizures. And I end up in the hospital, and they said my body tries to shut down because I can't handle stress. It gets worse every time. And they said that it would eventually end up killing me.
BRITTANY: I worry about her a lot. It is hard feeling like you're going to lose your mother.
MOM: If I wasn't like this, things would be different. If I could work or drive, we'd have more money. Them seeing the way that I am, with stress and everything, doesn't really help them because I don't want them to grow up not knowing how to deal with it, either. And it scares me to even have to think about that because I don't want them to be like me at all. [weeps] I want my kids to be better than me.
KAYLIE: Nala— she was, like, my dog. Like, she was like my favorite dog. And now we have to take her to the pound. We have to get rid of Nala but not Tigger.
Nala's so adorable. Like, if you if you had her, she would sleep on your bed and she would sleep on you. She's like your little guard dog. We're getting rid of my perfect little lovey dog. Yes, Nala, I hear you stressing out.
[writing on window] I love you, Nala.
ANIMAL CENTER WORKER: Does she have any favorite toys or games?
KAYLIE: She needs lots and lots of bones. She'll chew one in, like, an hour or so. She hates baths!
BARBARA: Oh, yeah. Doesn't like baths. This is my animal lover.
ANIMAL CENTER WORKER: She'll have to go into our isolation rooms since she hasn't got any vaccinations yet. So she'll be in an isolated area right now. Do you want the leash and collar back at all?
BARBARA: Just the leash.
KAYLIE: And the collar!
BARBARA: Why the collar? She can have it.
KAYLIE: Mom! Meanie! [cries]
I thought we were getting a double bed.
BARBARA: And there's no mini-fridge. Dang it! And there's no microwave. OK, we have to ask them about that.
KAYLIE: Darn. I thought we were getting a double bed.
BARBARA: Well, we're going to have to ask them about the mini-fridge.
KAYLIE: This is small.
BARBARA: It's going to be small. Plain and simple, it's going to be small.
KAYLIE: This is as big as my room.
JASMINE: You took off with all of my tapes!
CLASSY: What type of animal is the North America roadrunner?
JONNY: D, a bird.
CLASSY: Correct. You should know that off the cartoons.
JONNY: Yeah.
CLASSY: We're missing lunch.
JONNY: You don't want a lot of people to find out that you live here because people make fun of it. And you know, it can really hurt you after a while. It starts— you start to have no friends. People tease you about it and stuff like that.
JASMINE: I'm embarrassed because I'm poor and because I live in a shelter. It makes me feel like I just wish I never lived here.
JONNY: There's a kid at the school who looks— dressed worser than me. But he has his own house, though. He's got a house to call home. He don't have to go sit down with thousands of people to eat dinner. He can run to his refrigerator and open it up. And I can't do that. I have to wait until a certain time. And I have to eat because if I don't eat, I will starve all night until the next morning.
TOM: Make sure you stay in line so you can get your plate, OK?
JONNY: Yes. Yes, sir.
TOM: Stand right here, and as soon as she goes, Jonny, you go after Jasmine.
CLASSY: As a mother, you always got different thoughts going through your head and mind and wishing that you could change things and wishing things was different, but what are you to do? You can't keep beating yourself up about it, but at the same time, it's just hard. Having a family is hard. Maintaining a family is hard. Keeping us indoors is hard. _[weeps]I
JONNY: Why don't you just lay them out right there? Chill, Jasmine.
JASMINE: Why would you do that?
JONNY: It's to open up the boxes.
JASMINE: Open them with your hands!
JONNY: No, it's taped. That's taped hard. Jasmine, no!
JASMINE: When you live in a shelter, you have to obey by the rules and do your chores. And if you don't, you get a write-up. And if you get over eight write-ups or— or you get put out.
JONNY: Hey, Mom and Daddy. Guess what I got on my grades?
CLASSY: What? Ooh! Ooh!
TOM: That's good!
CLASSY: One for the Willis team!
TOM: That saved you from 70 lashes, didn't it? [laughter] So did you do good?
JONNY: I got 2 As, 2 Bs and 2 Cs
TOM: Oh, wow.
CLASSY: That's what's up, Jonny!
TOM: I'll have to get you a skateboard.
JONNY: Grades is my only way out of here. If my grades are not good, I know I can't go to universities, like my dream is to go. I know if my grades are not good, I can't play football like I want to. If I don't succeed doing what I have to do in school and making good grades, I will fail. I'm going to live this life, life of shelter and going through hard times, can't feed my kids, trying to figure out where I'm going to lay my head every night.
KAYLIE: Living in a motel is like— like, it's cool, but then not so cool. There's no friends, no one to play with. I miss Jordan. I pass the time by watching TV or talking to Alex, helping him do the laundry and then putting stickers on the cards.
KAYLIE: Oh, it's hot in here!
ALEX: There is new people came in room number 124, like you. And they have kids about your age.
KAYLIE: Are you sure?
ALEX: Yeah. You check them out.
KAYLIE: How many families live here?
ALEX: Here it depends. Sometime peoples come for a weekly stays, sometimes for you guys, like, right? So in summer— in winter, there is more people for the extended stays who are homeless. And in the winter, the shelters, them are all filled up, so— people can't sleep outside.
KAYLIE: It's all crunched up and there's not much space. [kicks Tyler sleeping on the floor] See? See? He takes up the hallway to go to the bathroom.
We had much more space in the house. The cold stuff that we need to be freezed is in the sink. We don't have a fridge, just this sink is our fridge. We have to get ice mostly every day because it melts during night.
When I struggle for money, there's nothing to eat. All there is, is cans of vegetables. So I've been eating vegetables. There's really not enough food.
If I could change anything, it would be being poor. I really don't want to be poor because then you can't get— because then how can you pay your rent? How can you get food? How can you get a roof over you head if you're going to be poor?
BRITTANY: We just found out my mom is pregnant. She's like a whale. My dad's been working. He's been working for a week, and he has $64 dollars.
JOSH: Definitely not a good time to have a baby, but I don't believe in abortion and—
MOM: Or adoption. Financially, we're going to be in a lot more trouble.
JOSH: Yeah, financially we'll be strapped.
MOM: Good Lord!
BRITTANY: Are you OK, Mom? Is the baby hurting you?
ROGER: You going to be alive in 10 seconds?
MOM: Oh, my God. I'm having a hot flash!
BRITTANY: I think it would be difficult for the baby to grow up here because we don't have a lot of money.
[opening Nutrition Club package] Toasted oats, Cheerios, apple sauce, some fruit, milk, beef stew, beef lasagna.
We don't have the money to buy diapers for it and food for it. And the good part is that my mom is happy, like, my family's happy. I don't really care if I'm happy or not. I just care if my family's happy.
MOM: We always manage, don't we? You know why?
BRITTANY: Why?
MOM: We're survivors. Struggle, survive and smile.
BRITTANY: How can we smile when we struggle and survive?
MOM: Because it helps us from going insane. [laughs]
BRITTANY: No, that makes us insane.
MOM: Makes you insane when you give up. But you're never going to give up, are you.
BRITTANY: No. No, ma'am.
MOM: Keep going, keep going. And if you feel like you've had enough and you want to quit, that's when you push yourself more, make yourself do it.
ROGER: I think the thing I miss the most from having all this happen is the Internet. I mean, people don't realize what they have until it's gone. And serious World of Warcraft withdrawals, man? [laughs] Because, say, in World of Warcraft, I am awesome. I'm a level 85 Paladin. Tank and healer. And in real life, I'm a 14-year-old boy with nothing going for him.
BARBARA: Kaylie, want to move stuff to the other house? Hey!
KAYLIE: OK. I know. I said yes!
KAYLIE: I'm looking forward to moving away from here because I really do not want to live here because you don't have space.
BARBARA: Kaylie! Kaylie!
TYLER: Kaylie, just wait. I'll do it. I don't want to hear you whining.
BARBARA: Go in there and pick up all the stuff in that sink over there.
KAYLIE: Oh, my God! I've got to pack my toys! Bad enough that I left my toys at the frigging other house.
BARBARA: Kaylie, I'm getting claustrophobic. Can't do this. It's 11:15! Trash. You going to take it to the dumpster? Go. Jesus!
KAYLIE: She is one crazy mom. She's tiring. She really needs work on the yelling. I don't care if she hears this because she needs to work on her yelling.
When we're moving, she says she's going to do it happily. I want to scream. I'm going to explode.
[to dog] Hey, Tanner, let's go and look at our new house. I mean, come on. Let's go upstairs! There Mom's room. How can you do this up all these stairs? Come on, Tanner! And here's my room! What are you doing? I'm going to have to put a rug over that. Come on, Tanner!
At my new home, I kind of like it and I kind of don't. I mostly sleep on the floor. It would be more comfortable with a bed. _[laughs] There's really nothing to do, just fold my clothes, mess them all up, fold them, mess them all up, fold them, or clean. But there's not much to clean but the kitchen, so—
Some kids have large houses. They can have whatever they want. But I think my mom, she kind of make a wrong turn or something. So that's what all started this.
CLASSY: This is a family of six.
FOOD PANTRY WORKER: You have your ID and a piece of mail?
CLASSY: Yes, ma'am.
FOOD PANTRY WORKER: Have you been here?
CLASSY: No, ma'am. Never. I was staying in a shelter at the Salvation Army on the second floor. And when you move out and go to transitional housing, which is upstairs, you have to get everything on your own. So food and household needs and everything else.
FOOD PANTRY WORKER: So that's what led you here?
CLASSY: Yes, ma'am.
JASMINE: We are in our new apartment, in transitional housing. My mom says it's harder because she has to spend a lot of money to feed us and to spend a lot of money to get the house together and, like, buy stuff.
CLASSY: You're getting too big. You always want something extra.
JONNY: I don't want nothing extra.
CLASSY: Yes, you do. You want a phone, you want shoes.
JONNY: I've got a phone. I'm not wearing no earthwalkers outside. No, sir. Jordans and Nikes.
CLASSY: Jonny, Nikes and Jordans are expensive.
JONNY: I know.
CLASSY: Just for a name. That makes no sense. You need a job.
JONNY: Nikes are not expensive.
CLASSY: Look, I've been buying Josh shoes after shoes after shoes. I can't afford it. Now what, Wal-Mart? He got to take Wal-Mart. What else can I do? At least his feet not dragging the ground.
JONNY: There were some Jordan flip-flops in there for 30 bucks. Now, that's a great deal. You cannot find no Jordan flip-flops, the brand-new kind, for no 30 bucks. They're probably not real. But guess what?
CLASSY: That's a great deal? When I can go to Wal-Mart and buy my— the shoes I'm wearing, I got from Wal-Mart for $5.
JONNY: I'm talking about name-brand stuff. That's a good deal, Mama!
CLASSY: My sandals are nice, right?
JONNY: If you closely— if you listen to it—
JONNY: It's a good deal.
CLASSY: See, that's why I liked y'all when y'all small. They like— they accept stuff. You're getting too big. Your feet growing. You in grown people's shoes now. Oh! Please stop growing! [laughs]
JONNY: We had more money in the shelter part than we had here because now everything is all on our own now. Down there, we took everything for granted. You can get free food every day. You got a free place to live.
CLASSY: For Josh's birthday next week— oh, here's one of Tom's old business cards.
JAYLEN: Oh, yeah. I remember T&C.
CLASSY: T&C, Tom and Classy.
It was me and him all the time. I know we lost a lot with the business. Me and Tom every day putting our heads together, trying to think about what else can we do to get ourselves out of this, see what we can come up with to make some extra money so we wouldn't be in a hole all the time or just barely trying to find food.
I mean, I would think at least everybody in America can have some food and housing— the poorest man, a place to sleep and food. And it's not that way. It's a little rough. A lot rough.
JONNY: All I want is to play football, but football is expensive. I can name a few of the items I need and want for my sports, but I just got to wait until the next time Mama can afford it.
I'm 14. My life is almost over until I'm a grown man. And if I don't have the opportunity to show somebody to play football, football won't exist in four years from now. If I don't get to play on the team this year, that dream is going to slowly start fading away. That's what happens to some of the dreams of kids. They pertain to something, and they can't afford it.
BRITTANY: My dad is trying to make a room in the garage for my mom and dad, for him and my mom so we have room for the baby. It's a boy. The baby's a boy. I was really hoping for a little sister, but you know, you get what you get.
JOSH: Went back to work for the company that I used to work for, and they're not doing the greatest, either. Say I got maybe a week's worth of work, and then they're going to be closing up shop from this local office and only keeping one of the three branches open, you know? So it's just temporary. But it's something. Temporary fix to a long-term problem.
MOM: No more babies. I got my tubes tied after I had him. I love him and I wouldn't mind having more, but we can't afford it.
BRITTANY: The baby's futures are going to be weird and messed up. Life is going to be hard because there's hardly going to be any jobs left in the future or any— any money, when rich people will be poor and— like you. You might get poor in the last few months. You never know.
KAYLIE: We're back in this motel again because we got kicked out of the duplex because. My mom didn't pay the rent. And so then we went to Motel 6, and then we went to this Twin Bridges hotel, and then we went to here. Oh, God, we went to so many places, even talking about it is making me dizzy. [laughs]
TYLER: [at washing machine] Come on. It's overfilled, Kaylie. Look, it's not going in.
KAYLIE: Oh, well. Move. I can make it work. Yes, it will! Yes, I do need that.
We've been moving around a lot, between Iowa and Moline, that my mom can't sign us up for school.
Why can't I go to school?
BARBARA: I would get you in school, but we got to wait until we get the trailer, which is only, like, a few days away. So there's no sense in putting you into school here if you're going to be switching to Iowa over there.
If you go to school, and then, like, one or two weeks, you're going to have to move, but then you have to move from all your new friends, all your teachers when you have such a good time. And so my mom says that we're going to go— we're going to get in school when we move into the trailer that we are getting.
BARBARA: The trailer, it is very livable. It has floors. We're going to be redoing it.
TYLER: Am I going to have to crawl in with the snakes to get the pipes unfrozen?
BARBARA: No.
TYLER: The best thing to do is put hay bales around it.
BARBARA: I know. We're going to get some of those and do that. But we're going to be moving the trailer probably in a couple of summers. But that'll be two years away because we have to have a two-year lease.
TYLER: If we stay there two years.
KAYLIE: If I keep missing school, then I see my future poor, on the streets, in a box, not even, and asking for money everywhere, everybody, and then stealing stuff from stores. And yeah, I don't want to steal stuff. I don't want to do any of that stuff. I want to get an education and a good job. I believe that I'm going to get a perfect job that I like and that I want to do.
People can't stop you from believing in your own dreams.

LILBURN - Lilburn residents can now get an alcoholic beverage at the local mom and pop restaurant.The City Council amended its alcoholic beverage ordinance at Monday's meeting, allowing restaurants with fewer seats to sell alcohol. The city's policy formerly required any restaurant requesting a license to sell alcoholic beverages to have no less than 100 seats. With the changes approved Monday, the licensing will be based on not only the number of seats but the percentage of food sales. Smaller restaurants will need to have a larger percentage of their revenue from food sales; larger restaurants can have a more even split of food to alcohol. "This is a way to attract better and nicer restaurants to the city - restaurants that may not have 100 seats," councilman Ken Swaim said. "But at the same time, the graduating scale will not attract bars." The smallest seating permitted will be 40 seats with a minimum of 80 percent of revenue coming from food sales. From 50 to 74 seats, 70 percent food revenue, 75 to 99 seats will require 60 percent food revenue and 100 and more will need only 50 percent its revenue from food sales. Lilburn council tables school lighting request The Lilburn Council also tabled a request for outdoor lighting by Providence Christian Academy until the Council's April meeting. A decision on the school's request for outdoor lighting at their soccer and baseball fields was tabled when the council realized the school had failed to meet several conditions of the original special-use permit allowing the fields to be built. "We will table this until our April meeting," council member Eddie Price said. "During which time the initial conditions of the special use permit need to be reviewed and some understanding of compliance needs to be reached." The specialized permit granting the baseball and soccer fields was granted in 1997 and required that a planted buffer be installed between the fields and the neighborhood. The buffer that was installed does not extend to the homes near the soccer fields. "We have had the fields for nine years," said Johnny Crist of Providence. "In that time we thought we had met all the requirements and no one from the city told us we were not in compliance." The request for the lighting was initially brought up in May, but the Planning Commission recommended denial because of the location in a residential community. The school completed several engineering studies to see the affects of the lights on the neighboring community and decided to bring the request before the council. "Before we can consider doing anything with this request," said Swaim, "we need to make sure the original conditions are met."

Apple wins patents on dual-sensor imaging, on-hold content sharing
updated 12:00 pm EDT, Tue July 23, 2013
Imaging tech could improve future iPhone, iPod, iPad cameras
Apple has won rights to a pair of patents via the US Patent and Trademark Office, says AppleInsider. One is Dual image sensor image processing system and method, which documents a camera concept that would use multiple sensors to help identify and correct various visual problems, such as dead pixels and chromatic aberrations. Supporting the camera would be complex image processing architecture, used to compare images and fix the final output if one of the two sensors received better input.
The technology could be applied to both still image and video recording. Apple hasn't applied it to any of its shipping products, but could in theory use it to upgrade the cameras on iPhones, iPods, and iPads, and even Mac webcams. It would follow a recent trend with some smartphones, like the HTC One and Nokia Lumia 1020, which is to emphasize picture quality over sheer megapixel ratings.
The second patent, On-hold visual menu from a user's communications device, describes an interface which would let a person on hold during an iPhone call receive content shared from the person they're calling. This could include photos, music, videos, or hold time, or even more personal data, such as status updates and location information. A menu would let sharers determine levels of access, for instance restricting location data to family members.
Like the imaging patent, the hold concept has never made it into a commercial product. It may be even less likely to appear, owing to the bandwidth it would consume on fixed-cap data plans.

Everything They Had: Sports Writing from David Halberstamby David Halberstam
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"Sometimes sports mirrors society, sometimes it allows us to understand the larger society a little better. But mostly, it is a world of entertainment of talented and driven young men and women who do certain things with both skill and passion."
--David Halberstam David Halberstam was a distinguished journalist and historian of American politics. He was also a sports writer. Everything They Had brings together for the first time his articles from newspapers and magazines, a wide-ranging collection edited by Glenn Stout, selected over the full scope of Halberstam's five decades as one of America's most honored journalists. These are dazzling portraits of some of the most compelling sports figures of our era, the superstars of popular sports like basketball, football, and baseball, but also fishing, soccer, and rowing, and the amateur athletes who play for the love of the game. In "My Dinner with Theodore," Halberstam recounts his long anticipated--and unforgettable--meeting with Red Sox legend Ted Williams. Against the backdrop of 1960s Nashville, he beautifully recounts a lifelong love of football in "How I Fell in Love with the NFL." And "Men Without Women," set on a fishing expedition in Patagonia, is more than a hunt for giant brown trout--it is a story of fishing, friendship, and fellowship. These and many more stories exemplify the breadth and depth of David Halberstam's devotion to diverse sports and his respect and fascination for the men and women who play them so well. The result is an intimate and personal collection that reveals the issues and the ideals David Halberstam cared about--racial equality, friendship, loyalty, and character--and creates a vivid and unforgettable portrait of the author himself. Everything They Had takes its rightful place alongside Halberstam's bestselling sports titles, which include The Breaks of the Game, The Amateurs, Summer of '49, and The Education of a Coach.
Book News Annotation:
Halberstam, who died in 2007, was known more for his journalistic work in the fields of politics, history and business, but in his later years he concentrated on sports journalism, revealing a lifelong fascination and enthusiasm. This collection of sports stories includes a famous account of Halberstam's meeting with baseball great Ted Williams, who was a personal favorite of the writer. If you've enjoyed Halberstam tomes such as The Best and the Brightest and The Coldest Winter, this will be a worthwhile addition to your collection. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
This work delivers the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist's unique vision of sports, with an intimate and personal collection that reveals the ideals of a culture steeped in integrity, loyalty, and character.
About the Author
David Halberstam was one of America's most distinguished journalists and historians. After graduating from Harvard in 1955, he covered the beginnings of the Civil Rights movement, then was sent overseas by the New York Times to report on the war in Vietnam. The author of fifteen bestsellers, including The Best and the Brightest, he won the Pulitzer Prize for his Vietnam reporting at the age of thirty. He was killed in a car accident on April 23, 2007, while on his way to an interview for what was to be his next book.

Portraits of Women, Program 3
Part of 75 Years in the Dark: A Partial History of Film at SFMOMA
Date + TimeThursday, May 20, 2010
7:00 p.m.
LocationPhyllis Wattis Theater
Pepperminta, Pipilotti Rist, 2009, 80 min., 35mm
In German with English subtitles.
Rist's first name is a conflation of her given name, Charlotte, and that of Pippi Longstocking, a feisty children's book character who has been a longtime inspiration for the artist. Pepperminta, Rist's reinterpretation of the fictional heroine, lives in a fantasy world that is a mix between children's tales and the Flower Power scene of the 1960s and 1970s: colors are the young woman's best friends, strawberries are her pets, and she knows amazing remedies to free people of their fears. As with Rist's video installations, the colors are saturated, the action is filmed with unusual angles, scale is distorted, and music is integral to the narrative.
Admission + Ticketing
$5 general; free for SFMOMA members or with museum admission (requires a free ticket, which can be picked up in the Haas Atrium). Tickets are available at the museum (with no surcharge) or online.Buy tickets

Evolutionary Essays:
A Thermodynamic Interpretation of the Evolution
- Sven Erik Jørgensen, Royal Danish School of Pharmacy, Copenhagen, Denmark
Evolution is nature's most fascinating process, the possibility given sufficient time to combine simple inorganic compounds to more and more complex biochemical compounds, which make up more and more complex organisms. It is therefore crucial in our effort to understand the evolution to see it from as many different angles as possible. This books draw an image of evolution from the thermodynamic viewpoint, which gives new and surprising insights into the processes and mechanisms that have driven evolution. This new thermodynamic interpretation has made it possible to quantify the various steps of evolution and to show that evolution has followed an exponential growth curve.View full description

Why does theology matter? An accurate comprehension of theology keeps us from confusing popular opinion with truth It helps us distinguish between what is transient and what is eternal. It guards us from being deceived by things that have the appearance of wisdom, but are not of God. And knowledge of the history of doctrine reminds us of the ultimate triumph of God and His people - in spite of the protestations of the world around us to the contrary.
What you believe does matter. As you explore the truths in this book, you will discover that theology is not just a collection of information about God - it is a rich legacy. It is your legacy.

A compilation of funny scenes from railway stations was uploaded on YouTube yesterday, December 11, to about 51,000 views.
The short clip comprises scenes of slips, trips and falls which happened either on the platform, or on the escalator. The video starts with the image of a woman just lying on the stairs, as if she was asleep or barely conscious.
Unfortunately for her, the stairs are going up. She is helped out by a bystander, who moves her out of the way.
In the third scene, which I think is the funniest, two girls dance around a pole in the station, and are probably intoxicated, as they both fall by the end of the number.
One of them is wearing high-heeled shoes, while the other one seems barefoot, so it would be easier for her to hold her balance.

Remember Me
The Eastern Visayas Regional Medical Center (EVRMC), then known as the Leyte Provincial Hospital, first opened doors to the public in July 16, 1916 at Jones Street with an authorized bed capacity of 14. With increasing demand, the hospital was relocated (to its present site) and a new building was constructed in 1925. In 1936, the hospital was further expanded to 40 beds and the new building was inaugurated by President Manuel L. Quezon.
In 1952, the bed capacity of the hospital was further increased to 100 in order to cope with the rising health needs of the growing population. On July 6, 1970, the hospital expanded its role in the region by formally opening the Leyte Provincial Hospital School of Nursing, the 7th School of Nursing under the Department of Health. It was then the only school of Nursing in Leyte and Samar. The hospital's Annex Maternity and Family Planning Units were temporarily converted into classrooms, laboratories and offices for said nursing school.
In 1972, then Congressman Artemio Mate filed a bill to increase the hospital's bed capacity from 100 to 250 and to change its name to Speaker Daniel Z. Romualdez Memorial Hospital. This bill lapsed into a law in July 22, 1972.
The Department of Health in 1973 by virtue of R.A. 6527, designated the hospital as a regional teaching hospital with an authorized bed capacity of 250. Aside from being the only teaching and training hospital in Eastern Visayas, it is also the end referral hospital of all government hospitals in the Region. The salient provision of R.A. 6527 was the merging of the three hospitals (the Tacloban City Hospital, the Leyte Provincial Hospital and the Speaker Daniel Z. Romualdez Memorial Hospital) into one. The ensuing years were witness to the growth of the hospital in terms of infrastructure and service delivery. In 1977, review of hospital records revealed a total number of 7,869 admitted patients and 61,747 cases served at the Out-Patient Department. A notable event in this period as well was the integration of the Regional Laboratory with the SDZR Memorial Hospital.

Garrett Lisi's Exceptional Approach to Everything:
When Lisi published his physics paper, "An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything," to an online archive last year, it created a media buzz about his lifestyle and an onslaught of support and skepticism about his model. Although the verdict is still out on whether Lisi's theory will prove predicatively accurate, the means by which he released and vetted his research point to a larger trend in the scientific community.
Barriers to data are falling, a cross-disciplinary community of commenters is replacing journal-selected peer reviewers, and "information to the people!" is becoming the raison d'être of the science information superhighway. The movement, combined with an evolving image of the contemporary scientist, is redefining how society interacts with science.
Why did you choose not to submit your paper to a traditional peer-reviewed journal?
I think peer review is important, but the journal-operated system is severely broken. I suspected this paper would get some attention, and I chose not to support any academic journal by submitting it. Under the current system, authors (who aren't paid) give ownership of their papers to journals that have reviewers (who aren't paid) approve them before publishing the papers and charging exorbitant fees to view them. These reviewers don't always do a great job, and the journals aren't providing much value in exchange for their fees. This old system persists because academic career advancement often depends on which journals scientists can get their papers into, and it comes at a high cost – in money, time, and stress. I think a better peer-review system could evolve from reviewers with good reputations picking the papers they find interesting out of an open pool, such as the physics arXiv, and commenting on them. This is essentially what happened with my paper, which received a lot of attention from physics bloggers – it's been an example of open, collaborative peer review.
What is the alternative to the way problems in physics are typically approached?
I don't think there is a typical way physics is being done; there's a great deal of variation. But there does seem to be more pressure on young researchers than there should be, especially on post-docs and new professors. Science shouldn't be a grind to publish more papers and advance a career – we're supposed to be doing this because we love it and find it fascinating. High-quality work and interesting projects should be valued, not just a lengthy publication record. And since science helps society, I think society should be better to scientists and support them in doing the research they want, rather than requiring them to jump through so many hoops.
How will "open science" and other new ways of sharing information transform science?
I think we're in the midst of a gradual revolution, following the rise of the Internet. The success of the physics arXiv – where physicists post freely available versions of their papers – has made it possible for anyone to access the literature from anywhere. This let me move to Maui 10 years ago and stay in touch with the field. Now an NIH mandate, requiring that publicly funded papers be posted to PubMed, will produce the same liberating effect in other fields. The net is also affecting the way scientists work directly, with wikis and blogs used for discussions, collaborations, and individual note keeping. These new tools, along with online social networks, allow geographically independent researchers to keep in perpetual, productive contact. Since theoretical researchers are no longer anchored to one location, I've been working on creating Science Hostels – micro-institutes in beautiful places where scientists could live and work, while having a bit of fun, and keeping more of a balance in their lives.

YIELD: Makes 12 doughnuts
ACTIVE TIME: 30 min
TOTAL TIME: 1 hr
IngredientsFor rose hip syrup:
- 1 cup water
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup dried rose hips
- 1 teaspoon green cardamom pods
- 1/4 cup rose water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup water
- 1 stick unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1 tablespoons sugar
- 3 large eggs, warmed in very warm water 10 minutes
- About 10 cups vegetable oil for frying
- Equipment: a deep-fat thermometer
Make rose hip syrup:
Bring water, sugar, rose hips, and cardamom pods to a simmer in a small heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then gently simmer, uncovered, until rose hips are softened, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in rose water and lemon juice.
Make doughnuts while syrup simmers:
Whisk together flour, kosher salt, and spices in a small bowl.
Bring water to a boil with butter and sugar in a 3-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until butter has melted. Add flour mixture all at once and cook over medium heat, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon, until mixture pulls away from side of pan, about 1 minute, then cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute more. Cool 5 minutes.
Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well with a wooden spoon after each addition. (Dough will appear to separate at first but will become smooth.)
Heat 2 inches oil to 350°F in a wide 5-quart heavy pot over medium-high heat.
Divide dough into 12 portions. With wet hands, form each portion into a 2-inch ball (dough will be sticky). Slightly flatten one ball in a wet palm, then make a 1-inch hole in center with fingers and add to hot oil. Quickly repeat with 5 more balls and fry, turning occasionally, until golden-brown and just cooked through (cut one open to test), about 8 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Return oil to 350°F and repeat with remaining dough.
Reheat syrup (if necessary), then dip each doughnut in syrup, turning to coat, and transfer to a platter. Drizzle doughnuts with some of remaining syrup and serve warm.
Syrup can be made 1 day ahead and chilled. Reheat before using.
Doughnuts can be fried 3 hours ahead and kept at room temperature. Reheat on a baking sheet in a 350°F oven 10 to 15 minutes, then dip in hot syrup.

Classical Conversations
The term "classical education" is a phrase that is becoming more common. What does it mean? To put it most simply, classical education is a model of rigorous and thorough education that equips a young student throughout their school days and into adulthood. At the core of this educational process, is the grammar stage. During this period students soak in knowledge through memorization and learning who, what, where, and when of those facts memorized. As they start to test their boundaries in life, they move into the dialectic stage, and begin to grow in understanding. Students question how facts relate and explore cause and effect. The rhetoric stage occurs during their high school years. Students draw upon the knowledge they gained during their grammar years and the understanding produced from the dialectic stage in order to formulate their opinions and have the ability to express them with grace, ease, and persuasiveness.
Classical Conversations breaks this process into a manageable plan for homeschooling families through three programs: "Foundations" for students ages 4 to 12 (or 6th grade); "Essentials", which is taught in addition to Foundations, for students 4th-6th grade; and "Challenge" for junior and high school students.
Foundations meets once a week during the school year for 24 weeks. Class sizes are limited to eight students and their parents. A paid tutor uses games and songs to drill new memory work. Memory work includes geography, English grammar, math, science, history, Latin, the U.S. presidents, and a timeline of the world from creation to modern day America. The children learn about art, famous artists and composers, and practice different painting and drawing techniques. They also learn how to play the tin whistle, study the scientific method through science experiments and weekly perfect their public speaking skills.
Essentials engages the children in English grammar and writing while taking them beyond the worksheet. Students learn to develop the mental skills to sort and classify facts and learn the tools they need to become eloquent, effective writers. This is a program where English grammar is reinforced through conversations with adults who want their students to master the art of language studies. The Essentials program includes sentence diagramming, parts of speech, spelling, vocabulary, phonics, punctuation, writing lessons, and more. On top of this, part of class time is used to drill math facts in order to enable students to work with greater speed and accuracy in mental arithmetic as they prepare for success in Algebra and beyond.
The Challenge program is for students 12 and older. For 30 weeks they study six challenging subjects at home while practicing dialectic & rhetorical skills in a weekly class. An experienced home schooling parent tutors the students in math, foreign language, and science labs. Students also receive suggestions for improving their written work. Other coursework is shared through facilitated discussions. Each level is called a "Challenge" rather than a grade because students should be enrolled in the level they are prepared to study.
Request a free catalog which, besides more information on the program, also includes several great articles such as why we care about learning Latin, what is classical education, advice on homeschooling junior and senior high students, and much more.
Campuses are available in Lake St. Louis, Chesterfield, Eureka/Wildwood, Maplewood, South City, and Fairview Heights. All current director contact info is listed on the top of the website under "Find a CC Community". Be sure to ask your area director when the next informational meeting will be held.

HomeLink's purpose is to assist families with homeschooling and to provide support, encouragement, accountability, and training that will enhance the parent's role as parent-teacher.

It operates as a "college model," allowing students to come to a class for one period per week, then accomplishing their study for that class at home, then returning the following week to review their work and move to the next lesson in the class. The targeted group for actual classes in HomeLink are grades 6-12 (sometimes younger). The classes are offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Courses offered include, but are not limited to: General Science, Physical Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics (the last 4 having labs), Spanish, German, Japanese, General Math for grades 4-8, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Algebra 2, Geometry, Trigonometry, English, Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW), American Literature, Composition, World History, British Literature, Composition, World Geography, Hands On English, Ancient Civilizations, Nutrition and Wellness, Missouri State History, Music Appreciation, ACT Prep, Personal Finance, Capsela Physics, Economics/Business & Advertising, Guitar, Developing Reading Skills, and Art.

NIMROD, TEXAS (Eastland County). Nimrod, on Farm Road 569 in west central Eastland County, was first settled in 1876 by a group that included Ira Townsend and William M. Munn. The town may have been called Monroe and Curtis until a post office was granted in 1885 and the name was changed to Nimrod for a biblical character. Munn was the first postmaster and ran a general store. A fire in 1907 left only two buildings standing, and two years later a tornado spared only a grocery store, a gin, a school, and seven or eight homes. The population fluctuated from 150 in 1915 to forty in 1947 to eighty-five in 1980. By 1969 the gin and post office had been closed and the school consolidated with other rural schools. In 2000 the population remained at eighty-five.

A new Planescape video game is now officially in development at studio inXile and fans of the original Torment will be happy to know that the game, while not being a true sequel, will use many of the same ideas and themes.
Brian Fargo, the leader of inXile, tells Rock, Paper, Shotgun that, "The more we explored the Numenera setting, the clearer it became that it's a natural fit for a Torment game. And it isn't too surprising that Numenera's aesthetics work well for Torment given that Monte was a key designer for the Planescape setting."
He adds, "Numenera is very exotic and rich, but is a flexible universe that empowers and support GMs. As Torment desires certain locations or features, we'll be able to do what we need to while fully respecting the setting."
Fargo believes that the game will benefit from the involvement of Monte Cook, one of the creators of the original Torment setting.
Numenera is also the basis for a board game that was successfully funded via the Kickstarter service.
The setting is not based on the Dungeons & Dragons universe and Brian Fargo was quick to point out some of the core differences.
Fairies and devils will not be featured in Planescape: Numenera, but players will be able to meet and deal with a number of creatures drawn from various fantasy universes and human history.
Gods will also be removed, replaced with a new species of creatures that are able to wield immense power and influence the evolution of the world.
The inXile team has not yet decided on the exact combat mechanics, but a system that uses real-time movements with pauses is the best candidate at the moment.
Planescape: Numenera is currently in the initial design stages and once the concept is better formed, the team might use Kickstarter in order to get the resources for the development process.

Halloween Isn't All About Candy!
Madison's first, second and third graders received Halloween toothbrushes in preparation for next week's candy.
Central Avenue, Torey J. Sabatini, Kings Road and St. Vincent Martyr schools were all visited by Kelly Olsen and Andrea Ceresa of Adams Dental in Madison. They delivered children's toothbrushes with orange handles and black bristles along with instructions on how to brush their teeth. The brushes will be handed out to all first, second and third graders during their Halloween festivities.
Kelly Olsen, hygienist, felt it was important to put a different spin on Halloween. She said: "I know that children will eat candy on Halloween and it's not realistic to tell a second grader to turn down a Tootsie Roll. But at least we can encourage good brushing habits afterwards."

To slay the beast of despotism you must wield the sword of truth, boldly stand in defiance of tyrants to restore liberty and justice.
Many good men have died so we might have freedom. Oppression ends in desolation, always be wary of governmental corruption.
Reject the mark of diabolical enslavement, end this debt based 'federal reserve' reign of devaluation and empirical evil.
The 'powers that be' are hollow. Humanity has incredibly more power, the people of heart, we the masses when united in righteous alignment can overcome all odds against us.
