Former Toronto Star reporter dies
Journalist Jack CAHILL had storied career that spanned the globe
The Canadian Press, Page B12
Toronto - He grabbed a shark by the tail in Australia. He ate braised bull's penis in Beijing. He drank three-mice wine in Hong Kong with real dead mice at the bottom of the bottle.
And he found bliss in those summers spent sailing the Great Lakes, sipping a rum and Coke, putting the world to rights with his buddies.
Former Toronto Star reporter Jack CAHILL, who died at age 79 Wednesday in Toronto after a lengthy illness, believed the best way to get a story was, in his own words, "to see it, feel it, touch it."
He had to be there, watching history unfold, regardless of the danger.
"He was one of the last old-time journalists and the world was his beat," said Michael PIERI, a foreign editor at the Star in the 1970s. "He represents an era that saw some of the best foreign correspondents."
CAHILL won a National Newspaper Award for his account of escaping Vietnam after the fall of Saigon in 1975.
He got onto one of the last evacuation helicopters out of Saigon, which deposited him safely onto an American battleship. But CAHILL and a group of Vietnamese refugees were kicked off the ship in the middle of the night because, as the captain told them, they weren't Americans.
He spent six days as one of 8,000 passengers on a refugee ship in the South China Sea. With only three small paper cups of water a day, he endured incredible heat and used now-worthless Vietnamese currency as toilet paper.
He recalled the adventure in an article he wrote for the Star to mark his retirement in 1991. His tactile reporting style is everywhere in his writing, grabbing readers through their senses: "The holds smelled of urine and sweat... It was so hot down there you could see the air. Hot, stinking air is yellow or purple."
CAHILL's family, living in Hong Kong at the time, had no news of him for a week after he disappeared from Saigon. His eldest son, Anthony, remembers when the family first found out CAHILL was alive and well.
"The irony was he'd gone from living on that ship, living on nothing for six days, then we got a call (from him) from the pool of the Canadian ambassador's residence in Manila. Having a Scotch, I think."
Anthony says that was typical of his father's career - the James Bond-like ease with which CAHILL could switch from wearing a flak jacket on a battle-field to a tuxedo.
CAHILL was born in Brisbane, Australia, in 1926. He finished high school
just in time to enlist in the Royal Australian Air Force at the end of Second
World War, too late to see any action.
"He ended up playing football for the
Royal Australian Air Force," says Marie, CAHILL's wife of 48
When CAHILL moved to Canada he worked for the Vancouver Sun as its Ottawa bureau chief until 1965. Later that year, he started at the Star as a reporter. He was appointed national editor in 1969, did a brief stint as Ottawa bureau chief in 1970, and worked as the Star's Asian bureau chief from 1973 to 1978.
In addition to newspaper writing, CAHILL published five books and a collection of his adventures as a foreign correspondent called If You Don't Like the War, Switch the Damn Thing Off!
Jack CAHILL is survived by Marie and their four children, Anthony, Sally, Kerry and Patrick.

Gus CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER, Sergeant-At-Arms (1935-2005)
The House of Commons' longest-serving sergeant-at-arms presented the image of a man one would not wisely cross. He ran Parliament Hill as a 'private fiefdom'
By Tom HAWTHORN, Special to The Globe and Mail, Saturday, September 3, 2005, Page S7
Gus CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER paraded daily into the House of Commons with a military bearing befitting a retired major-general. As sergeant-at-arms, Mr. CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER handled responsibilities ranging from security to the allotment of parking slots. His duties that gave him much control over the day-to-day lives of members of Parliament, a power exercised out of public sight.
More conspicuous was Mr. CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER's role in leading the parades that open and close a day's sitting. In preceding the Speaker on entering and leaving the House, the sergeant-at-arms carries the ceremonial mace, a symbol of authority.
Dressed in a black court coat and a tricorne hat, the mace gripped by his right hand as it rested on his right shoulder, a ceremonial sword carried at his left hip, with service ribbons on his breast adding a dash of colour, Mr. CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER presented the image of a man one would not wisely cross. For all that, his long tenure as sergeant-at-arms coincided with a breakdown in traditional parliamentary behaviour. On two occasions, members grabbed the mace, a shocking breach of decorum considered a gross contempt of Parliament.
Mr. CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER was the longest-serving sergeant-at-arms since Confederation. His 27-year tenure surpassed that of the other seven men to have held the position.
A long climb through the ranks of the armed forces prepared him well for doing battle with civilians, as Mr. CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER proved a wily adversary in bureaucratic squabbles.
Born in Drummondville, Quebec, Maurice Gaston CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER was educated at Mount Allison University at Sackville, New Brunswick, and, later, at the University of Liege in Belgium. He enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1952 while still a teenager, and married Joan CAHILL of Summerside, Prince Edward Island, before he was 20.
Serving as a navigator with Maritime Air Command, Mr. CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER became an air instructor at the Air Navigation School at Winnipeg in 1960. He was appointed resident staff officer at Laval University at Quebec City two years later.
Mr. CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER relocated to Europe in 1964, serving as protocol chief for the armed forces. He was also appointed executive assistant to the commander of the Royal Canadian Air Force air division. After graduating from the Canadian Forces staff college in 1969, Mr. CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER was named bilingual policy adviser to the personnel chief. He was promoted to the rank of major-general in 1975.
He became executive assistant to Liberal defence minister Donald MacDONALD in 1970, remaining in the post under Edgar BENSON, C.M. (Bud) DRURY, James RICHARDSON and Barnett (Barney) DANSON.
The retired general was appointed sergeant-at-arms on April 27, 1978, by Pierre TRUDEAU, the first of seven prime ministers for whose security on Parliament Hill he was responsible. Mr. CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER succeeded David CURRIE, a decorated war hero awarded the Victoria Cross who had been sergeant-at-arms for 18 years.
As the official Commons guard, the sergeant-at-arms places the mace on a table before the Speaker. He then sits patiently throughout proceedings adjacent to the entrance to the House. The role of sergeant-at-arms carries with it a centuries-old responsibility for security, hence the mace and sword.
Yet, one of Mr. CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER's first public statements regarded the diminished size of the Christmas tree installed in the lobby of the House. Several controversies generated headlines in his first years. A stern report from the auditor-general was highly critical of Parliament's administration, noting an annual $3.5-million deficit from restaurants and cafeterias.
Mr. CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER was soon embroiled in a public squabble over spending with Speaker Jeanne SAUVÉ. Without her knowledge, he had ordered $10,000 of riot gear, including vests, helmets, handcuffs and 12-gauge shotguns. He had also neglected to inform her of the creation of a new restaurant to address overcrowding in Parliament's main dining room. Mr. CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER opened an elegant, 70-seat restaurant for senior bureaucrats in the South Block in 1980. The first-class restaurant served $2.75 gourmet meals, a bargain for top mandarins as each meal served cost $12 in subsidies.
The Speaker called the restaurant scandalous, ordered it closed (after having allowed it at first to remain open), and issued a public rebuke of the sergeant-at-arms' spending habits.
An attempt soon after to end wasteful spending left Mr. CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER with egg on his face. A special Commons-Senate committee decided laying off 30 cafeteria workers would save money. But members of Parliament and bureaucrats proved sadly incapable of tidying up after themselves, and the federal health department sent a letter of reprimand to the sergeant-at-arms insisting the unhygienic practice not continue.
Over the years, Mr. CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER has also had to sweep offices for bugging devices, and ordered walls rebuilt to prevent eavesdropping among rival caucuses and research staffs.
Two incidents in 2002 raised questions about security in the wake of the previous year's attacks on New York and Washington. A protester crashed the official unveiling of former prime minister Brian Mulroney's portrait. Two weeks later, a man left a grenade at the front desk of the Langevin Block, across the street from Parliament Hill and outside of the sergeant-at-arms' jurisdiction.
At the adjournment of the House on October 30, 1991, Mr. CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER shouldered the mace when rushed by an member of Parliament. Angered by a ruling by the deputy speaker, New Democrat Ian WADDELL tried to grab the mace from the sergeant-at-arms.
An apologetic Mr. WADDELL was called to stand at the bar of the House the next afternoon, where he was reprimanded for a breach of privilege and gross contempt of the House.
In 2002, member of Parliament Keith MARTIN, then with the Canadian Alliance, touched the mace in protest the loss off his private member's bill on marijuana decriminalization. He was censured by the House.
In 2002, all five parties in the House paid tribute to Mr. CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER for his 50 years of public service. (By coincidence, the honour came 11 years to the day after the WADDELL incident.) The unanimity among the speakers led Progressive Conservative leader Joe CLARK to quip: "Mr. Speaker, it is a good thing there are only five parties in the House or these tributes could cause an outbreak of order."
Earlier that month, Mr. CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER co-ordinated the royal visit to Canada as the Canadian Secretary to the Queen. He became the longest-serving sergeant-at-arms since Confederation last year, surpassing the 26-year tenure of Henry Robert SMITH (1892-1917.)
Mr. CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER took his responsibilities most seriously. In December, 1995, a Liberal member of Parliament in a Santa Claus costume and accompanied by an elf arrived on the floor of the House to spread bonhomie. Hansard reporters captured the interruption in typically understated fashion, inserting a note in the account of daily proceedings. It read: "Editor's note: Whereupon a visitor in red entered the Chamber."
The sergeant-at-arms, perhaps not fully appreciating the spirit of the season, gave the bum's rush to Santa, ushering Stan DROMISKY off the floor.
Gus CLOUTIER/CLOUTHIER was born on June 6, 1935, at Drummondville, Quebec He died of colon cancer on Tuesday at the Elizabeth Bruyere Health Centre at Ottawa. He was 70. He is survived by his partner, Mary-Lynn GALLANT. He also leaves son Michael, and daughter, Nancy, as well as their mother, Joan, from whom he was separated.

Tearful Gators must wait on the NCAA bubble
Published: Saturday, March 14, 2009 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 14, 2009 at 12:40 a.m.
TAMPA A game that began with Florida clinging to NCAA Tournament berth hopes ended in tears, literally.
Florida freshman Erving Walkers tying 3-point attempt was partially blocked by Auburn guard Quantez Robertson, and the Tigers held on for a 61-58 win over the Gators in the Southeastern Conference Tournament quarterfinals.
Walker looked blankly toward the crowd after the final shot, then held his jersey over his face as he broke down. He was consoled by Florida senior teammate Walter Hodge as he headed toward the UF bench.
Walker had a chance because Auburn freshman guard Frankie Sullivan missed the second of two free throws with 13.4 seconds left.
Florida (23-10, 10-8 SEC) now must wait until Sunday to find out if it becomes the first team to miss back-to-back NCAA Tournaments after winning an NCAA Championship.
Alex Tyus led the Gators with 21 points and 11 rebounds. Walker added 14 points off the bench. Florida leading scorer Nick Calathes was held to seven points on 3-of-13 shooting.
Korvotney Barber and Sullivan each led Auburn (22-10, 11-6 SEC) with 12 points. Lucas Hargrove added 11 points and Auburn junior guard Tay Waller had 11 points, making two big 3-pointers down the stretch.
Walker hit a runner in the lane with 2:38 left to cut Auburns lead to 54-53. But on a missed assignment, Hargrove was wide-open on the left wing beyond the 3-point line. Hargrove knocked down the 3-pointer to extend Auburns lead back to 57-53.
Hodge made two free throws to cut Auburns lead to 58-55 with 1:39 left. After forcing an Auburn shot-clock violation, Florida had the ball with a chance to tie the game. But Walkers ill-advised drive was blocked by Barber.
On the other end, Barber wound up with a dunk in transition with 25.5 seconds left to extend the Auburn lead back to 60-55.
Hodge hit a big 3-pointer with 13.4 seconds left that cut the Auburn lead to 60-58. That set the stage for Sullivans free throws and Walkers finish.
After a Tyus bank-shot put Florida up 43-41, Auburn took its first lead of the game with 7:50 left on a Waller 3-pointer, going ahead 44-43.
Then it became a back-and-forth affair between Walker and Waller. Walker hit a 3-pointer to put Florida up 46-44, only to have Waller answer from the left corner to put the Tigers back ahead 47-46.
From there, Florida got sloppy. Turnovers on the next three Florida possessions resulted in baskets from Barber and Hargrove that put Auburn ahead 51-46.
Hargrove followed with a hook shot that put Auburn ahead 53-48, but Tyus came up with a big putback off a Walker missed 3-point attempt and was fouled by Barber. Tyus hit the free-throw to complete the 3-point play to cut the Auburn lead to 53-51.

Insurgents flee Timbuktu, torch ancient scrolls
SEVARE, Mali French and Malian military forces closed in on the fabled city of Timbuktu on Monday with armed Islamist extremists having fled into the desert after setting a library holding ancient manuscripts ablaze.
The al-Qaida-linked militants occupied Timbuktu for almost 10 months, imposing the strict Islamic version of Shariah, or religious law, across northern Mali while carrying out amputations and public executions.
"In the heart of people from northern Mali, it's a relief - freedom finally," said Cheick Sormoye, a Timbuktu resident who fled to Bamako, the capital.
The French said Mali's weak military must finish the job of securing Timbuktu. But they have generally fared poorly in combat, often retreating in panic in the face of well-armed and battle-hardened Islamists.
The French-led military operation against the Islamists, who seized the northern half of Mali last year, began 17 days ago when the insurgents encroached further toward the south.
It has scored several successes, but hard questions remain about how the Mali government will hold the cities that have been wrested from the Islamists, and whether there is the will and the ability to chase them into the Sahara which is home to many of these desert fighters.
On Saturday, French forces secured key installations in the northeastern town of Gao. Then overnight Sunday troops secured the Timbuktu airport without firing a shot.
Ground forces backed by French paratroopers and helicopters took control of Timbuktu's airport and the roads leading to the town in an overnight operation, a French military official said Monday.
"There was an operation on Timbuktu last night that allowed us to control access to the town," French Col. Thierry Burkhard, the chief military spokesman in Paris, said Monday. "It's up to Malian forces to retake the town."
The mayor of Timbuktu said Monday that the Islamists had torched his office as well as the Ahmed Baba institute - a library rich with historical documents - in an act of retaliation before they fled late last week from the city of mud-walled buildings.
"It's truly alarming that this has happened," Mayor Ousmane Halle told The Associated Press by telephone from Bamako. "They torched all the important ancient manuscripts. The ancient books of geography and science. It is the history of Timbuktu, of its people."
He said he didn't have further details as communications to the city have been cut off.
Timbuktu, long a hub of Islamic learning, has been home to some 20,000 manuscripts, some dating back as far as the 12th century. It was not immediately known how many of the irreplaceable manuscripts had been destroyed.
Owners have succeeded in removing some of the manuscripts from Timbuktu to save them, while others have been carefully hidden away from the Islamists who seized Timbuktu, Gao and Kidal in the wake of a coup last March.
The Islamists, though, still maintain control of the provincial capital of Kidal further north and are believed to have a complex system of desert bases including self-constructed caves to which they can escape, only to launch attacks at a later date.
The AP reported last month that they have used bulldozers, earth movers and Caterpillar machines left behind by fleeing construction crews to dig what residents and local officials describe as an elaborate network of tunnels, trenches, shafts and ramparts.
Timbuktu, which lies on an ancient caravan route, has entranced travelers for centuries. During their rule on Timbuktu, the militants systematically destroyed UNESCO World Heritage sites.
A spokesman for the al-Qaida-linked militants has said that the ancient tombs of Sufi saints were destroyed because they contravened Islam, encouraging Muslims to venerate saints instead of God.

EDA Promotes Economic and Job Growth in Rural America
Guest Blog by John Fernandez, Assistant Secretary for Economic Development.
President Obama has taken significant steps to improve the lives of rural Americans and has provided broad support for rural communities. He signed an Executive Order in June establishing the first White House Rural Council. The Administration has also set goals of modernizing infrastructure by providing broadband access to 10 million Americans, expanding educational opportunities for students in rural areas, providing affordable health care, promoting innovation and expanding the production of renewable energy.
Last week, as part of his three day bus tour, President Obama stopped in Peosta, Iowa to participate in the White House Rural Economic Forum, which brought together farmers, small business owners, private sector leaders, rural organizations, and government officials to discuss ideas and initiatives to accelerate hiring and spur innovation in rural America. The President has also announced a series of initiatives that leverage existing programs and funding to help small businesses and meet the critical needs in rural communities. In the coming weeks, the President will put forth additional proposals that will help put people back to work and give the middle class greater economic security. Promoting economic and job growth in rural communities is central to these goals.
The U.S. Commerce Department's Economic Development Administration (EDA) has been investing to strengthen rural economic ecosystems for over four decades. Earlier this week, I traveled to Louisiana, Tennessee and Arkansas with Federal Co-Chairman of the Delta Regional Authority (DRA) Chris Masingill and Doug O'Brien, Deputy Under Secretary for Rural Development at the U.S. Department of Agriculture to conduct project site visits and participate in White House Rural Council Roundtables in Houma and Bastrop, LA as well as Pine Bluff, AR. We heard from stakeholders in the region about how the federal government has and can be a better partner as we invest in rural economies.
On August 26, 2011, EDA will host a webinar to discuss best practices to promote rural small business development. White House Rural Council members Chris Masingill of DRA and Federal Co-Chairman of the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) Earl Gohl will share best practices and successes with close to 400 participants.

SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, Spain (AP) — A Spanish train that hurtled off the rails and smashed into a security wall as it rounded a bend was going so fast that carriages tumbled off the tracks like dominos, according to eyewitness accounts and video footage obtained Thursday. The official death toll from Wednesday night's crash near this Christian festival city in northwest Spain rose to 80 in Spain's deadliest wreck in four decades. Hospital officials said 141 people were injured, and 36 remained in critical condition Thursday, among them four children.

2014 Skoda Fabia product development is making steady progress. Auto Tip, a Czechoslovakia based print magazine has published two images and details of 2014 Skoda Fabia. Though the authenticity of the images are yet to be confirmed, the magazine claims these are actual images. The new Skoda Fabia will make it's debut by 2014 spring. The model is based on Skoda's VisionD concept which was featured in Geneva Motor Show.
The narrow headlight and comparatively larger front grille are borrowed from VisionD concept. The new Fabia will be built on VW's MQB platform. The hatchback will be lighter compared to current generation Fabia and may have slightly longer wheel base. According to the source, the 2014 Skoda Fabia will have a larger trunk, probably 350 ltrs in place of current 315 ltrs trunk.The rear design looks tidier than current version. The bumper design is simple but perfectly matches to other elements. Two important elements worth mentioning are C-Pillar and rear door frame designs. We should wait and see how the production version will be conceptualized. The overall design look clean but the wheel arches looks out of proportion.
2014 Skoda Fabia will get latest generation petrol and diesel engines. A 1.2 Ltr TDI and TSI engine may find it's place under new Fabia's hood. The engine may get company of current gear box options.
Skoda has not divulged much details about new Fabia. In India Skoda Fabia is yet to get a strong footing in our highly competitive hatchback segment. Skoda India was supposed to announce the launch of Citigo in India. But Skoda has not made any announcement about future of the car. We think Fabia will act as base for Skoda India's product portfolio for few more years. So 2014 Skoda Fabia will hit Indian market after it's international debut.
Did you like the design of 2014 Skoda Fabia..? Share your opinion via comment box. Wheelosphere is the first Indian blog doing this story, so share this story among your friends via social media.

Mayors from the largest cities in Florida told Gov. Jeb Bush they do not want to bear the burden from state budget cuts.
On Tuesday, mayors from St. Petersburg, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Hialeah, Orlando and Jacksonville went into Bush's office at the state capital to speak their concerns.
The tight budget is forcing lawmakers to consider shifting costs for some programs and services to local governments.
Rick Baker, St. Petersburg Mayor, said, "We think the governor has been pretty supportive so far of not shifting too much. We're going to work with the legislature to make sure they hold the line as well."

Visit Jug Fuckers
Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
On Jug Fuckers, the sitename refers to the tit-screwing dudes in the scenes. That said, the guys aren't the stars of the show. They're merely on hand to interact with the website's main attraction: big-boobed pornstars.
You end up inside Brazzers Network when you first sign in, but getting to the JugFuckers content is easy. All you need to do is place you cursor over the "explore" tab, click where it says "sites & niches" and then select the website that you want. There are 30 to check out and I'll tell you a bit more about some of them in just a little bit.
The scenes devoted to jugg fucking begin with a chick on camera who's either talking, stripping or looking damn good in a cute outfit. It doesn't take long for the cutie to expose her great breasts and usually her pussy, too. After some solo caressing and masturbating, in comes the fucker. This leads to good hardcore tit-fucking, sometimes preceded by cock sucking.
At first glance, it looks like there are 129 episodes, with videos and photos for each. A closer inspection reveals that there are actually 94 vids and 100 sets of pics instead. What's frustrating is that the thumbnails don't indicate whether you're getting a video, photos or both.
I should also point out a couple of other problems, so for starters some thumbnails redirect you to a "page not found" error. In other cases, they work fine, but they simply take you to some vid caps that have corresponding footage. I should also mention that sometimes the videos are only trailer versions of scenes, although at least they show all the action in condensed form, including the money shot.
You can stream and download some MP4s or if you prefer or you can go with a Windows Media format. You can expect mostly good-quality playback, although it should be noted that some of the older scenes can be grainy despite having similar stats to newer ones. I should also mention that they do a good job of bringing you titjob action. You can count on seeing big breasts wrapped around a hard cock for 80 to 90 percent of the movie.
There hasn't been an update since 2007, so once you get done with the main material, you can turn your attention to the bonus sites that I brought up earlier, like Big Tits At Work, Butts And Blacks, Busty And Real, Big Wet Butts and Jizz On My Jugs and a good number of them are focused on babes with big breasts.
The amount of content and its quality is quite good, so you might want to consider getting a membership. No, Jug Fuckers isn't getting any bigger these days, but it has enough going for it that it's worth checking out to get your fill of tit fucking.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

A few years ago, when my daughter was five, she asked me how babies get made. It was not the first time she asked, and my old 'an egg and a sperm meet in the mommy's tummy' trick wasn't working anymore. But how do they meet, she wanted to know. So after about a half an hour of question-dodging that would put any politician on a Sunday morning news show to shame, I finally gave up and told her the truth. The daddy puts his penis inside the mommy's vagina, I told her. Which pretty much shut her up.
When I told people that I'd had "the talk" with my then-kindergartener, the responses ranged from shock and judgment to good for you. Of course, I spent days, maybe weeks, worrying that I'd done the wrong thing. Maybe I should have continued to put her off for a few more years, maybe I shouldn't have been quite so honest. But in retrospect, I'm really glad that we had that conversation when we did, because we got it over with and out of the way, and also because I'm pretty sure it would be a whole lot more awkward to have it now.
But of course, I always knew that there would be more questions. I told her how babies got made, sure, but I didn't tell her that daddies put their penises in mommies' vaginas for reasons other than making babies. I told her about procreation, but I didn't tell her about sex. So I wasn't entirely shocked last week when my daughter asked me how a person can possibly get pregnant by accident. I mean, I just don't understand, she said. How does someone accidentally put their penis inside someone else's vagina?
My entire life flashed before my eyes, as if I were in a car, plummeting off of a cliff to my death. It's funny – when people think about having these kinds of talks with their kids, we tend to imagine that we'll be in control of the situation. We'll sit down, together, as parents, and we'll decide that yes, perhaps it's time to have The Talk with little Johnnie or Janie. And then you think that you'll go into her room and sit down on the edge of her bed and say something like, sweetie, I think it's time we have a talk. And you imagine yourself laying it all out there with the charts and graphs and Power Point presentations that you diligently created in preparation for this monumental parenting moment, while your child just listens and nods, eternally grateful to you for clearing up the mysteries of life. So having my kid ask out of nowhere how a penis can accidentally end up in someone else's vagina was not exactly how I thought it would go down. But, the best laid plans, blah, blah, blah.
Ha! As a single mom, also in the open & honest camp, I've been through this too. In the middle of a retail store, my daughter busted out with "at school Nena asked how come I got born since you weren't married with daddy and that's how you get babies?" I think a couple people got whiplash heads were just spinning our way. I laughed it off, reminded her of our sex talk, and assured her people had to be married to make babies no more than the dog did when she had puppies accidentally with a neighbor's dog (heat cycle 3 days before spay day appointment!)so she should always remember there are responsibilities for actions. Magically, those nosy people were clearing out...
You'll probably have a lot more 'splain' to do about that "married" portion than anything else you've told her.
Because, as much as you may wish sex only happened between married people, that's not the truth — and she knows that.
Good luck!
good for you to start talking, and pledge to keep talking. the sex talk is dinner time convo at our house, making guest blush but everybody knows the scoop at an early age. Middle school is where it gets awkward but even more necessary, with science behind the slang spelled out. Makes them cringe, but they need to know. good job mom!
Yikes! That would strike fear in my heart. When my daughter asked for a baby brother at that age we were able to shut it down with a simple "no, because mommy isn't married".
OK, somewhere down the road though someone is going to tell her that mommy was never married to daddy - if she still remembers the whole baby brother thing by then I expect that will be an even more difficult conversation.
I am not sure how old your daughter currently is. But then, I am mystified as to why parents are uncomfortable about the sex talks, plural. Hopefully, if a parent's relationship with her child is based on honesty, truth and trust, there will be many such talks during the time of the parent's phase of full responsibility for her child.
I am a bit surprised that you told your child that sex for pleasure, not procreation is only between MARRIED people. You are certainly setting yourself up for a potentially embarrassing situation should you develop a friendship with a couple who is cohabiting happily without official sanction. Or a gay couple if you reside in a state that rejects same-sex marriage. Because children sometimes say the damnedest things, and innocently ask the most uncomfortable questions.
I also don't agree with telling her that only STUPID teenagers have sex, much less end up pregnant. Teenagers' brains lack development in the centers that control restraint, understanding of cause and effect, and comprehension of consequences. And far too many teens have irresponsible parents who don't explain the full consequences of sex to their children: the emotional burdens, the fact that both genders can...and do...lie, that birth control fails, that sex feels very good, that the urges can be absolutely maddening, that masturbation is an excellent source of relief, and that having vaginal sexual intercourse. protected or not, always has the potential to lead to pregnancy. And that not having sex is about mutual respect...for the subject of your affection and for yourself, and responsibility, and caring, and love. Even STUPID kids can understand all of that, if parents take the time to teach them. And very intelligent kids are sometimes never taught a thing except DON'T EVER DO IT...or take it into their heads to do it anyway, and to hell with the consequences and full speed ahead.
I am still having sex talks with my 19 year old high functioning autistic son...who is not very clear about women, or things sexual. He comes to me with his worries, not his dad, with whom he lives, and who claims that our son doesn't care about these things. He does...they upset and confuse him. When he was younger (he is very immature socially) he couldn't comprehend them at all. He is always much happier after we talk. My 13 year old still asks constant questions, and he always has, as we have given him embarrassment-free, age-appropriate honest answers. We don't lie to him, or give him misinformation.
I guess I had no preconceptions about The Talk. My mom told me that you had to love the person (after a clinical discussion at five after a viewing of rabbits mating. I deduced the entire business from there, on my own...and was entirely correct except for wondering just how people did it as fast as rabbits) when I was about fifteen.
I'm in the "good for you" camp. Better to have the conversation too soon than too late. My mother was always inappropriately early with sex talks but in the end, I was armed with the right information before hearing my pervy 12 yr old boy next door neighbor's rendition.
LOL This article made me laugh out loud..really! And it reminds me that I need to really having something prepared for my 7 year old, because...it won't be long now before I start getting questions.
I think you did the right thing, Risa. I believe that honesty is the best policy in situations like these, even if they're uncomfortable at times. If nothing else, your daughter will appreciate that you were truthful with her in an age-appropriate way. This will build a good foundation of trust in the future. Well done.
Funny column, Risa.
I was always a believer in getting the basic factual information to my kids before they'd be in a position to hear (and believe) inaccurate information on the playground or wherever. So I started reading "It's So Amazing!" and "It's Perfectly Normal" (both great books) aloud to my three boys when they were very young (early elementary age or younger). I didn't actually think my youngest was paying attention, let alone absorbing any information - I was reading mostly for his older brothers' benefit - but then one day he came home from pre-K and said, "Mom, the kids at school were talking about babies growing in their mommies' tummies. But I told them they were wrong - that a baby grows in a mommy's UTERUS!"
I think it's OK, even preferable, to give your kids basic information about sex at a very early age. Don't overwhelm them with details and don't answer questions they don't ask... but better they should hear it from you than from the grossly uninformed neighborhood kid.
My daughter is nearly five and just asked me some questions that are making me think that I need to get the junior version of the powerpoint ready. I definitely go for accurate information rather than protecting them. I would rather she heard it from me than on the playground at school!

How to Get Flat Abs Fast
Transform your middle with this fun stability-ball workout from exercise physiologist and fitness DVD star Amy Dixon, based on her Global Conditioning class at Equinox Fitness in Century City, California. These moves hit every major ab muscle. Perform three sets of each move resting 30 seconds between sets. Do them three times a week (for 20 minutes total), plus 45 minutes of moderate to intense cardio three times per week, and trim 2 belly inches in 4 weeks.
Lateral Lunge with Figure 8
A. (top right) Stand with feet together, holding a stability ball in front of your body with arms bent. Step right foot out to the side and bend the knee to 90 degrees (don't let it go past your toes); both feet should still be facing forward. At the same time, hinge and twist at hips to bring ball down to the outside of right knee.
B. (inset, lower left) As you push off with your right foot to return to starting position, lift the ball up and over your right shoulder to finish the first half of the figure 8. Repeat the lunge and ball movement on the other side to complete the figure 8; that's 1 rep. Do 15 reps.
Trainer tip: Concentrate on making the ball movement fluid.

Cinderella Ate Her Daughter. Now She Knows Why.Madeline Holler
Update: If you're in the NYC area and interested in hearing Peggy Orenstein, Nickelodeon exec Tom Ascheim, and New York Times Magazine media columnist Virginia Heffernan discuss how marketers target kids, check out "Cinderella Ate My Daughter, SpongeBob Ate My Son: The Reality of Marketing to Kids." It's an event being held at the 92nd Street Y Tribeca on Tuesday, April 26, 2011 at 7pm. Tickets are just $12, it's co-sponsored by Slate's Double X, and should be a really interesting discussion. Hope to see you there!
Peggy Orenstein knew enough about girls to know that when she got pregnant, she wanted a son. Naturally, the author of Schoolgirls: Young Women, Self-Esteem, and the Confidence Gap and countless articles on girl culture gave birth to a girl. Like many other mothers of daughters, she fought the good fight: steering her daughter from pink, purple and all things princess.
And yet … her girl, Daisy, went down the pink, sparkly path anyway.
So Orenstein set out to understand what was driving this new girlie-girl culture and why, after all the isolating and head-turning efforts to keep it from her daughter, Daisy still succumbed. She writes about reports on her experience and looks into the marketing of girlhood in America in her new book Cinderella Ate My Daughter: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the New Girlie-Girl Culture.
Orenstein's book starts with the history of the Disney princesses. She starts not decades ago when the films were first shown in theaters, rather in 2000, when a Nike executive took over Disney's product division in 2000. One trip to a "Disney on Ice" show, where countless little girls were sporting their homemade princess outfits, and before the clock struck midnight, he had created an entire line of dress, tiaras and wands — no imagination necessary! (Just 50 bucks, please.)
Next thing we knew, Disney princesses and pink were on everything. No, really, everything. Though girls have played dress-up and princess since the dawn of time, the new official princess line for Disney took over — not only the sales but the imaginative play of it all. And, get this, it's not advertising or direct marketing that is getting girls to go all DP: It's you.
Orenstein points out that Disney puts very little into market research for its DP line, which earns the company gobs. Instead, they just let the moms offer the princesses to their little girls, moms whose loving memories of Snow White or Cinderella make them want to share the joy with their daughters.
When daughters are ready to step out of the glass slippers and into something for the more mature Kindergarten and first grade set, Disney's got you covered too. This is how shows like "That So Raven" and "Lizzy McGuire" took off. And Hannah Montana was waiting in the wings for the tweens.
Of course it's not all on Disney. There are Bratz Dolls and Barbie and Nickelodean and all of that. Everyone is trying to capture the little girls' market share and to do so, they're appealing to girlie-girlness. Because it sells! (Question: Has anyone tried anything else?). Even Sesame Street is getting in on the act with Abby Cadabby — Orenstein writes about how AC's nose was a huge issue, which is why it's cute as a button now.
Orenstein also spends time on social networking sites for young girls, toddlers-and-tiaras-type beauty pageants and the whole mani-pedis for 8-year-olds thing.
This girlie-girl culture is, I think, one of the biggest surprises of raising a girl. I was not only stunned at the sheer volume of pink stuff that is available to girls but also aggravated that nobody else seemed to resent it like I did (turns out, Peggy Orenstein was). Of course, years out on it, I see that in order to buy a gift for a young girl, you have to be very creative if you're going to avoid the this-is-for-girls/this-is-for-boys trap. You can't just show up at Target — with its color-coded aisles — and pick something up. What I had hoped the grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends wouldn't foist on my daughter, I realize now was really their only option.
Orenstein ends on a hopeful note — that marketers and movie execs are catching up to us feminist moms who were totally caught off guard. Pixar is actually going to release a movie with a female protagonist — its first ever. And Disney released Tangled, the Rapunzel story without a totally hopeless and helpless princess at the center. (Though I wasn't crazy about the cliched depiction of gay men, but that's a post for another day.) I'll throw in Mattel's Barbie and the Three Musketeers movie. Surprisingly, shockingly! Not totally offensive.
Having realized that I can't change other people's buying habits — and that's really not my role — I instead have focused on lessons about marketing and the media, what some people think about girls and boys. I try to make my girls aware of the messages and what marketers are saying and also talk about how certain ads and TV and movie scenes make them feel. I fear my poor girls are the only ones for whom a trip to the American Girl Doll Store is also an opportunity to discuss store layout and product display with a follow-up discussion on how they felt in the showroom.
Books like Orenstein's kind of feed beasts like me who refuse to lie down and let smart marketers get at their kids. I hope other parents at least consider what she has to say. Cinderella may be a helpless, tiny-footed gold-digger, but she's a tough cookie with a voracious appetite for young girls.
I don't want her snacking on mine.

A vet has examined him and determined that the leg will become much more of a problem as the puppy grows and needs to be amputated as soon as possible. Judd has a loving home now but they are not able to pay to have the surgery done and came to us at the Daisy Mae Foundation for help. Our bank account is near empty but we are determined to get this little one the help he needs. We have found a vet that will do the surgery, neuter and shot at a very discounted rate, we just need to get the balance. Times are tough and the economy is rough on all of us but if you can, please donate. Even $5 adds up if this gets to enough people. If you can't donate, please share this message to get the word out.

Introducing BetterWork™ —A Sustainable Strategy to Dramatically Reduce Costs and Carbon Footprint
BetterWork™ is an enterprise-wide solution that physically provides substitutions for commuting, travel and building activities through the implementation and adoption of technologies such as voice/video/audio conferencing, virtual PBX, VoIP and unified communications — combined with connectivity and quality of service. BetterWorld is advising and implementing cloud-based voice and data solutions for organizations nationwide such as GreenpeaceUSA, Green America and Grants Management Systems as to how they can significantly reduce their operational overhead and environmental footprints, thus creating more sustainable enterprises.
To download the BetterWork™ whitepaper click here.
Bolstered by a long series of industry reports, from the GESI Smart 20/20 report to the World Wildlife Fund March 2009 reports on telework and travel substitution, consensus reigns that telecom carriers have the potential to reduce the carbon footprint of the U.S. and other parts of the world by up to 50% in coming decades. BetterWork™ is a major step towards that reality.
- BetterWork™ combines VoIP, Internet, voice/web/video conferencing and Broadband connection all in an integrated, cloud-based solution to translate these messages between devices, locations, enabling a true work anywhere, anytime environment for the enterprise
- BetterWork™ creates greater flexibility, satisfaction and productivity for employees, lower carbon emissions for the environment, and lower overhead for businesses — employees spend less time in transit and on the road, and more time working and in their communities
Two of the most interesting and innovative climate solutions that can contribute to a higher quality of life and decreased ecological footprint are virtual meetings and telecommuting.

Additional Information
About Negros Women for Tomorrow FoundationNegros Women for Tomorrow Foundation, Inc. (NWTF) is a non-governmental organization established with an aim to help men and women achieve self-sufficiency, particularly in the province of Negros Occidental's low-income communities. The organization offers its clients a wide variety of products, including loans for micro-entrepreneurs, hospital income benefits, life insurance, accidental death benefits and more. Kiva lenders' funds will be used to expand the reach of these products to low-income urban and rural communities.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Is Revenge New Tonight, Dec. 23, 2012?
There are just a few days until Christmas, but the gift of Revenge is still weeks away.
Like most shows, our favorite shoreside drama is on winter hiatus, meaning that Emily Thorne's Infinity Box and Victoria Grayson's bandage dresses are in hibernation.
So tonight, Dec. 23, 2012, our only option is to cry into our red pepper bisque and re-watch old episodes. Luckily, ABC.com has the entire second season streaming right now, so now you won't have an excuse for not knowing who Aiden Mathis is or why Ashley Davenport was banished from the Hamptons.
And if that's not enough to tide you over, check out promo for the spring premiere and some spoiler pics, and then tell us: Are you excited for Revenge to return in January? Vote below!
Revenge Season 2, Episode 10: "Power" airs on Sunday, Jan. 6 at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.
