Capitol press corps mourns its dean
When Capitol pressroom reporters played Gov. Jim Doyle and his aides in softball, there was never any question about who would umpire the game: Dick Wheeler. Why?
Wheeler, the dean of the Capitol press corps, called 'em as he saw them - "Strike 3," "You're out," "Safe." It didn't matter whether the object of the call was a fellow Capitol reporter or the governor. You didn't argue Wheeler's calls.
Status. Title. Rich. Poor. Republican. Democrat. It didn't matter to Wheeler.
Getting Capitol news right, and often getting it first, was what he lived - and loved - to do.
In 1972, he founded The Wheeler Report, which tracks votes in the Legislature and posts links to court rulings and dozens of related local, state and national stories once or more each day. Subscribers get a more detailed, exclusive report.
Putting out the best possible Wheeler Report was Wheeler's intent on Nov. 11. He was getting ready for work - he usually opened the Capitol pressroom and scanned websites between 5:30 a.m. and 6 a.m. - when he died at his Madison apartment.
Six years ago, Wheeler was diagnosed with congestive heart failure; 24 years ago, he had open heart surgery. For decades, until he turned 65 two years ago and qualified for Medicare, he had no health insurance. There was just not enough money in his small-business budget for a preventive-care policy.
"He was a reporter's reporter," observed one of the eight governors Wheeler covered in his Capitol career.
Anybody who can work for 39 years in our Capitol - especially in the current "eye for eye" era of partisanship - and leave it respected, credibility and integrity intact, and be regarded as fair and impartial, deserves a tribute.
This is a goodbye to a great friend and mentor.
But, when Wheeler got angry, you wanted to crawl under the nearest Capitol pressroom desk until the storm passed. The green paint on the pressroom walls almost peeled at his anger.
He once threw a nationally known celebrity out of the pressroom, after Wheeler thought he had insulted his co-worker and daughter, Gwyn Guenther.
And he had no time for the egos of just-passing-through reporters who hadn't done their homework on how our Capitol works or the issues they were covering or those who thought they were so-much-brighter than the regular press corps.
And if you tried to tell Wheeler how the Legislature worked, you better get it right.
He knew the legislative process "better than many legislators," said Democratic Sen. Fred Risser, the former Senate president and longest-serving state lawmaker in the nation.
The Capitol press corps and press room of the 1970s and early 1980s were right out of "The Front Page" movie. Then, Wheeler and others reporters would often go across the street to have drinks at the Inn on the Park at the end of the day or when lawmakers took a break .
If one reporter had too much to drink, a competitor would finish the story and file it for their pal - knowing that he may need help on another night. Wheeler quit drinking in the mid-1980s, according to one of his ex-barstool buddies who also quit about the same time.
Those of us who worked with him, who relied on Wheeler's advice to try to solve the daily policy and political puzzles, knew a secret: He mellowed in the last 15 years. The new Wheeler cared more about people and relationships. But don't even think about whispering that to him; he had a mean-as-hell reputation to uphold.
When Guenther started working with him, and then her husband, Trevor, and a granddaughter who was a Wheeler Report "intern" last summer, he was the proudest I had ever seen him in 24 years.
He especially mentored new female Capitol reporters - I can name six or seven - to help them succeed.
Wheeler always got the news right. He would have taught me one more thing about the Capitol on Nov. 11, had he made it to work that day.
A standing-room-only crowd filled the first-floor Capitol rotunda in Wheeler's honor Tuesday. He would have only asked one thing: Did The Wheeler Report get out on time? It did.

"[Equity might have been the only thing preventing foreclosure a decade ago, said Hsieh, but these days most borrowers understand the importance of maintaining their credit score.] Studies show that if you're a credit worthy borrower, you will do everything in your power to keep your credit high, ... That in itself is skin in the game."
Anthony Hsieh
"As long as housing prices don't go down, consumers have more equity they can borrow against. If mortgage rates go up another 1.25 or 1.5 percent and pierce 7 percent -- watch out. That's when the housing bubble bursts and consumers would cut back on spending a lot."

With so many leaks of the iPhone Lite one would think that where there is smoke there is fire. However, we would not rush into quick conclusions about the real existence of the iPhone Lite. For once, we have not seen it fully assembled and turned on, and that's a red flag.
Should you trust what you see now then? We advise some extra caution and the curiosity of a smartphone detective.

Watching the Watchdog: Notes From The Future of Journalism
Tim Knight writes the regular media column Watching the Watchdog for HuffPost.
I can't tell you how I got these documents. I can't tell you who wrote them. I can't even tell you where they come from.
All I can tell you is that they were written recently, at a university somewhere in Canada.
Documents like these are usually seen by no more than a tiny handful of people -- the writer, the evaluator and perhaps a couple of others.
I readily admit that they're not quite up there in importance with those American military and diplomatic secrets about American wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that WikiLeaks splashed all over the Internet.
Even so, they're my very own, real leaked documents. Written by students studying journalism -- some of whom will become the next generation practicing our honourable craft. If you have any interest in Canadian journalism in our Canadian democracy you should read them.
The students were assigned to write a paper on a chapter in my book, Storytelling and the Anima Factor. The theme of the chapter, This I Believe ..., is that traditional, general-interest journalism -- produced by trained, professional journalists -- is the crucial cornerstone of democracy and that social media threatens to destroy that cornerstone.
Twenty-four class papers were leaked to me. In the 16 excerpts below I've omitted any obvious response to my own writings and selected what appear to be original thoughts and ideas from the students themselves.
I list them in the order they were given me.
"One of the many problems faced by mainstream media is hegemony (ideas of the dominant class in a society) that is so structurally reinforced in the media industry that anyone who is not of the ruling class is forced to conform in order to work in the industry.
"Unfortunately the decline of mainstream media may be the only way to end the cycle. I am not suggesting the professional journalism has to die, it merely has to come to a breaking point before people will realize that it is time for a true change."
"New technology is eliminating traditional media such as newspapers because as a young person in 2012, I do not read the newspaper, and I don't know anyone in my group of peers who does either. Everyone in this day and age uses Google and the Internet to find their information."
"The argument that citizen journalism may not be the most ideal spread of important information is a valid one. The issue arises because this information is so easily accessed, and with so many people sharing and receiving information through social networking sites, all the biased and solely opinionated blog entries, tweets and status updates spread like wildfire among the masses.
"This is the reality of today."
"The sharing of opinions leads to the development of new ideas which is a part of what a democratic society is. Even though social media and the internet are slowly killing ethical journalism, ethical journalism cannot kill the social media and the Internet; they must find a way to use the internet and social media to their advantage."
"In my own experience, I find it time consuming to read newspapers every day so I resort to reading CP24 tweets on Twitter as an alternative. The need for newspapers is dying out because of the Internet taking its place.
"I also believe that without ethical, professional journalism, the people would have no other trustworthy source of information about the world around them. Journalism exposes truth that the powerful are trying to hide from the people and without freedom to have opinions and critical ideas, the nation would be more totalitarian than a democracy."
"Traditional ethical journalism is in trouble, as the Internet has significantly taken away from the depth of news stories and the integrity that journalism has been honoured and respected for in the past."
"The news industry is suffering the death of a thousand cuts by the new forms of media that dominate the market. The increase in cheap reporting, particularly in crime stories, has eroded a fundamental principle of journalism which is for the journalist to go out and check the 'people's pulse.'
"News may become so saturated in cheap reporting from lack of funding that it will strangle itself slowly until it crumbles under the weight of expenses and loss of readership to the Internet: the parasite wins."
"When citizen 'journalists' write a piece about day-to-day issues, there is absolutely no requirement for them to be educated, skilled and have enough knowledge on an issue to write a piece about it.
"It goes to show that in order to be a legitimate journalist and a messenger of news, one needs to have the proper education, perspective and ability to best analyze a situation and relay the truth to the public."
"There is the issue of the role journalists play in the democratic system. It is without question how important they are to the democratic system as they inform the citizens on all aspects of the state, particularly around the time of elections.
"Democracy is run and maintained by the masses and when they cease to care for democracy, then and only then will democracy cease to exist. Journalism helps keep said citizens informed, thus making the democratic process run smoother."
"With the looming powers of social media, ethical and free journalism is becoming more and more difficult to find. Not only is this a dangerous reality for the establishment of truth, but it is also a great threat to the sustainability of our democracy.
"We see journalism itself being taken over by self-serving citizens who hold the power of the World Wide Web in their hands. This possibly destructive fate must be stopped through the powers of traditional journalism in order for us, the people, to remain free subjects of society."
"The emergence of the Internet as a new medium should be seen as a way to get the truth that ethical journalists strive for to a wider audience."
"Social media as the sole means of information for an individual is extremely dangerous. If the public were to rely only on social media as a means of information, people would become isolated, confining themselves in a comfortable world free of views and ideas that oppose their own.
"The danger that comes with social media is that in all its seemingly limitless possibility, it is frequently used as a source of truth and information, despite the fact the majority of the information found on the internet lacks validity."
"A journalist's most important role is to challenge society's customs. Citizen journalists do not have degrees and the experience to understand that role. Continued disregard for these values will subject Canadians to a barred society. Who can the public rely on if they cannot trust journalists?
"Internet journalist are untrained wannabes that have no experience in the field of journalism. They have no education on the journalistic codes of ethics or morals. Many would rather rant about their own opinions instead of providing their readers with trustworthy reports. There are no editors online to ensure accuracy.
"Inexperienced, unreliable people are posting information without credible sources. This process ignores everything that journalism stands for."
"The journalist's whole role is based around finding the truth, however ugly it is, and presenting it to every person they possibly can. The more that journalism is restricted, the more power is given to already powerful, self-interested institutions like business and governments. Truth is knowledge, and knowledge is power -- so the more truth that these institutions can withhold from the people the more power they gain.
"If journalists allow themselves to become disconnected from the people, then how can they truly work for the people? If journalists lose their enterprising, investigative spirit, then the common man will be subject to the bare and often incomplete information dealt by the 'flacks' who are looking to protect the self-centered interests of the people who pay them.
"If journalism is embodied by truth, and truth is power, then it could be said that those who deign to influence journalism for their own gain are very dangerous indeed. That is why it is important that journalists stay free, ethical, and forever dedicated to the truth."
"I've found most of the claims on the Internet (i.e. Twitter, Facebook, and blogs) are not properly sourced or supported by proper evidence. The accurate information posted is usually repeated from trained journalists who spent their time researching. The Internet is stealing away the readers of the professional journalists, but without them, bloggers would have no information to repost, resulting in any reliability of citizen journalists to be diminished."
"People who do not question what they are being told likely lack the desire to know any more. They say ignorance is bliss, and it is not within the journalist's abilities to rid ignorant people of their ignorance; that burden is not on them.
"Journalism may not be what it used to be; it may have been corrupted by the internet and the corporations, it may be stifled by powerful people, but journalists that seek the truth do still exist.
"Journalists provide a service to the people. They are responsible for being professional, ethical and honest. They must check and double check every fact. They must provide truth that the Internet cannot, they must expose and educate and save the public from being mislead."

Managed to make my knee pop at training. It goes every now and again, but that's the worst one for a few years, hence the ice pack. Still ok for cycling though.

back end with a Anadrol to kick start.
What's up bros? So I plan on running my second cycle within the next couple months. However I'm looking for a little advice as to when would be a better time to run the anavar. The front end of the cycle, or the back end? I plan on running test prop 100mg EOD for about 10 weeks. I have enough anavar for about 6-8 weeks depending on how I dose it. Has anyone had experience running the var weeks 1-7? or has it worked better for weeks 3-10? The dosage is not the question, rather what would be a better time to run it?
back end with a Anadrol to kick start.
I like it at the end of a cut myself.

Ok I was leaning towards the back end. Just wanted to be sure. Thanks fellas I appreciate the input.
jay and heavy got u covered listen to them. Give anadrol a try, if the sides are too bad stop using it. Sides shouldnt be too bad long as you drink plenty of water and take the necessary on cycle supps to help with blood pressure estro levels etc. GL
just go low its not as crazy as people think. Run it at 25mg for a week then bump to 50mgs. just do it for two weeks. Keep on supporting supps. I ran drol for 6 weeks at 150 and my liver values were barely out of normal.

Second in the series. This one is in shades of green with the unifying browns. I used brown for the shades of the tea in the cup. My favorite machine for sewing my crazy patch foundation pieces is an old Pfaff 1970 model. It has wonderful piercing power and sews a beautiful tight stitch. Mine is one of the first manufactured with the built in walking foot....a real plus.
Very pretty!
This one is so peaceful to me. reminds me of sitting in the grass on a beautiful day sipping tea. Love it
I love the tea cup blocks----so cute!
Looks like the kinda of thing I could use late in the evening.

August 11, 2008
I've just returned from a vaginal ultra sound. Im feeling very anxious as the results didnt come back normal. The doctor who did the scan wasnt obliged to discuss the results in any great detail instead advising me to talk to my doctor. But i cant see my doctor for another 2 days! so im very concerned.
In short heres what they found.
1. Endometrium = 7mm AP. There is a 9mm posterior wall submucous fibroid.
2. Rt ovarian volume= 7.8cc,
Lt ovarian=9.5cc
Both ovaries contains multiple small follicles,? multifollicular? polycystic please correlate with biochemistry results.
This doesnt sound to good to me so but im trying to stay positive. Any light you could shed to help me understand what it really means would be much appreciated.

Wind monstrosities and reasons to give these eyesores the boot!
Above: a
turbine eyesore in Liverpool, UK.
How authorities
want to wreck the Sefton environment.
Fears over 450ft-high giant wind turbines plans in Sefton
This disconcerting story was reported in the Southport Visiter on March 14 2013 by Tom Duff. Please surf this link.
I have written about these 'wind monstrosities' many times before in my articles and in one of my books, Dirty Politics.
Let's consider a few uncomfortable facts:
- Many residents living in close proximity to these wind farms find the noise levels completely intolerable and are infuriated that assurances about noise given in advance turn out to be valueless. Doctors have suggested that turbine noise, which may be low key yet disturbing and unpleasant, may link to psychological effects, headaches and depression. Noise levels cannot be accurately predicted in advance.
- Authorities in Spain reported considerable numbers of birds of 13 species secluded under European Union law have been killed by wind turbines (Windpower monthly 2.2.94). Turbines in California have on average destroyed between 200-300 Redtail Hawks and up to 60 Golden Eagles every year, whilst it is estimated that 7000 migrating birds a year are killed at other wind turbine sites in Southern California. (Source -California Energy Commission).
- The wind turbine is regulated to generate power at low to moderate wind speeds, when the production is a trickle. As the wind strengthens and real power becomes obtainable, they have to be shut down or they may blow over.
- The two foremost European wind farms are close to each other in Powys, at Llandinam and Carno. Between them, they have 159 turbines and cover many thousands of acres. Jointly they take a year to manufacture less than four days' output from a solitary 2000 MW conventional power station. Together, they have a productivity averaging 20 MW (in winter, UK demand peaks at about 53,000 MW.)
- Turbines can interrupt TV reception. This was noted in 1994 when the BBC and the Independent Television Commission recommended the Department of the Environment to oblige wind farm developers to reinstate reception where wind farms caused intrusion.
- The main unfavourable impact that wind farm expansion is probable to have is on local economies depending on 'tourism'. Wind speed sites are frequently positioned in the areas holding the premium landscapes. Wind developers are consequently targeting those localities where the sightseer trade consists of visitors seeking harmony and unspoiled countryside.
- One of the most dependable critiques of wind-generation of electricity to date is the Darmstadt Manifesto on the exploitation of wind energy in Germany. Its main influence develops from its signatories - over one hundred leading intellectuals in fields including - Medicine, Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Geography, Mechanical Engineering and Thermodynamic Science, Land Administration, and Agricultural Science.
- Health and safety (apart from noise pollution) is a factor too. Apart from the hazard of blades becoming disconnected or even disintegrating due to fatigue etc, there is a real danger that chunks of ice can form on them in wintry conditions and then be thrown considerable distances when the wind picks up and the blades begin to rotate. Three of these wind turbine 'factories' in the UK were closed for safety reasons in April 2000 due to metal fatigue.
- The RSPB has objected to 76 wind farm proposals (on and offshore) between 2000-2004 and has raised concerns about a further 129. The RSPB recently objected to a proposed 234 turbine wind farm on the Isle of Lewis in the Hebrides, on an extremely fragile and special area for wildlife
- Wind powered electricity is estimated to be two and a half times more costly than conventional sources. It would not be economic without a massive subsidy. This comes either from our tax or from the price we pay for electricity. Consumers in Denmark, which has the highest penetration of wind power in Europe, also pay the most for their electricity.
and Bat Killing Machines
The Northwest coast sees many large flocks
of sea birds that will be severely jeopardized, especially at night and in bad weather,
by the monstrosities.
In fact a primary school was 'forced' to
turn off a wind turbine after bird deaths. The school was required to switch off
a £20,000 wind turbine, because it kept killing passing sea birds.
Many birds are legally protected under
wildlife laws; therefore I for one shall be calling for official 'prosecution'
for any bird deaths due to wind turbine usage.
Yes, thousands
of birds and bats too are killed each year by collisions with wind turbines and
their giant blades. Environmental activists are in some places even taking the
wind energy industry to court to find a solution.
Dr David Bellamy has previously stated
that wind turbines produce only '30 percent' of the power the government
claimed and were not as cost effective. He described turbines as "totally and
utterly useless things", and said a better money and energy saving option would
be to insulate houses in cladding.
the local Council actually considered the growing evidence against these
inefficient contraptions and the health/safety risks pointed out by many
doctors and environmentalists?

Salman with a changed attitude in Dabangg
The Theatrical trailer of Dabangg will be showcased with Khatta Meetha on July 23rd. We had an exclusive sneak peek of this racy trailer that will become a subject of whopping discussion, the moment it is viewed by the Public. For Salman fans, there's good news. Firstly, it seems that Khan the actor has never been presented like this before. You don't witness Salman Khan, the clean shaven handsome lover-boy. Instead, for the first time, you come across Salman Khan actually becoming the character. It's not Salman Khan but Chulbul Pandey that stays with you once the promo is over. There's something new in the dialogue delivery, the body language and the whole attitude.
If you loved the action of Wanted, then Dabangg seems to be an outright winner with the Junta that feasts on high octane Herogiri. Action Director of Wanted, S Vijayan, has choreographed some superb action sequences for Khan that whips up a shock-n-awe effect. I can already hear endless loud whistles in the cine hall corridors. Debutante Sonakshi Sinha appears briefly in the first look promo and leaves an impact with a smart filmi dialogue on the vagaries of love. Dabangg releases this Eid.

Mike Dreams - Hip Hope Anthem (Hello World)
Cynics, now would be a good time to step away from your computer; the dose of musical positivity Mike Dreams delivers on the latest (and probably final) single/leak off his long-awaited debut album is so strong it might send you into convulsions – either that or make your heart instantly grow three sizes larger a la the Grinch. Making its world premiere right here in the Booth, Hip Hope Anthem (Hello World) finds Minne-ap beatsmith Cory Grindberg serving up a sweeping piano-synth instrumental (originally featured on a remix of Jay-Z's Hello Brooklyn) as Dreams spits some of his most inspirational bars to date. He ends the record with a powerful statement of unity: "I do it for y'all – I'm proud to be black, but I'm more proud to be human and, see, we all are that." Topped off with a solo by Twin Cities guitarist Mike Frey, this rap anthem is one that hip-hop heads of all shapes, sizes, colors and creeds should be able to get behind. Dreamer's Poetry is set to hit DJBooth.net for free download on Feb. 8, in anticipation of its physical release the next day; fans can check out a sneak peek at the tracklist and album art at RefinedHype.com right now.

"We have heard a lot about Edith Clement. What about this Edith Jones?"
John Gibson
"I also had my chances but Clement played the big points better than me. I have no excuses."
Rafael Nadal
"said Clement (13-5, 4.33 ERA). ''I had him."
Gregg Zaun
"My violinist this year, Marcy Clement, has been with me since she was 18 and now brings her husband and three children along."
Gayla Curtis
"Oh yes - of course they set the agenda. Could you imagine a Clement Atlee becoming prime minister now? You have to see the way that politicians, in order to succeed, have to be emotionally available, as opposed to coldly rational,"
Michael Buerk
"[Clement] used to be a dead-pull hitter. She's worked hard on her hitting."
Donna Martin
"Edith Jones would in all likelihood trigger strong opposition."

We report a case of solid and papillary epithelial neoplasm of the pancreas in a 35-year-old female. She presented with epigastric pain and weight loss, these symptoms developed 3 months before. Physical examination revealed mild pain on deep palpation of mesogastrium, without palpable abdominal mass; rest of the examination was normal. The laboratory data showed hemoglobin 13.3gr/dl; WBC, platelets, blood coagulation test, blood biochemistry, electrolytes, liver function test were normals. Urine test: 14-16 leukocytes per field, urocultive negative, Ca 19.9: 21.2 (0-37). Her serology for hydatic cyst (arc V and inmunoblot) was negative. Abdominal ultrasound showed between body and tail of the pancreas a solid hypoechoic image. In abdominal CT was detected in the body of the pancreas the presence of two hypodense lesions with average density of 25 UH and mediate 50 and 22 mm in diameter. The nuclear magnetic resonance imaging identified the body of the pancreas, bilobed cyst of 45 and 25 mm in diameter, with isointensity in T1, hyperintensity in T2, unchanged after fat saturation, with peripheral contrast enhancement. Operation findings showed a cystic tumor in the body of pancreas without signs of infiltration to other organs. Therefore, distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy were carried out. The tumor was 60x46x35 mm and a half oval, encapsulated, irregular consistency, which the court left necrotic-looking material flow. The study showed the pattern typical hyalinized perivascular pseudopapillary with stroma, in immunohistochemical studies positive immunoreactivity was observed in cyclin D1 and progesterone receptor, also were positive for vimentin, enolase neuronoespecífica and CD-56. The proliferation index assessed by Ki-67 was less than 1% in tumor cells. The solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas is a low-grade malignancy, relatively rare, representing between 0.9 and 2.7% of all pancreatic malignancies. It mainly affects young women (89% of cases), with a mean age at diagnosis of 28 years. Most have specific symptoms related to intra-abdominal mass and more than one third are usually discovered incidentally.

SAN LUIS OBISPO – Cal Poly men's soccer head coach Paul Holocher (right), who directed the Mustangs to a 72-60-25 record during eight previous seasons, has resigned his position to pursue a new role as Director of Development with Maui United Soccer Club, it was announced by Director of Athletics Don Oberhelman on Monday.
"I'd like to thank Paul for his time at Cal Poly and all of his contributions," Oberhelman said. "Paul helped the program improve on the field, increased attendance at Alex G. Spanos Stadium and energized the Central Coast through soccer community outreach efforts."
The Mustang Athletics Department also announced on Monday that second-year assistant coach Phil Ruskin has been named interim head coach.
After arriving at Cal Poly for the 2006 season, Holocher directed the Mustangs to five winning years and won double-digit matches in a season four times. In just his third year, Holocher led Cal Poly to an 11-6-6 record, the program's first NCAA Tournament berth in 13 seasons and the team's first postseason victory at the Division I level. Under Holocher, Cal Poly posted a 37-29-17 Big West Conference record, finished in the top half of the standings five times and reached the conference tournament semifinals in four of six years. Under Holocher, Cal Poly was 42-15-10 at Spanos Stadium. In 15 seasons of collegiate coaching – including time at UC Santa Cruz – Holocher amassed a 181-84-32 record.
"I would like to thank Cal Poly Athletics for having given me the opportunity to coach and develop the Mustang soccer program over the last eight years. I have enjoyed the experience immensely and I'm very pleased and proud with where the program has come during this time," Holocher said. "I want to especially thank all the great friends and soccer fans who have been so supportive to the program over my time here as coach. I have a genuine love for this amazing university, San Luis Obispo and the Central Coast community. The time is right for a new adventure and challenge and my family and I are excited for this. I'm looking forward to continuing my growth as a coach and sharing my experience with the youth players of Maui."

I flew into LA this weekend which gave me a chance to sync with Malgosia Bela for an interview I had been chasing for 7 years now. As the car sped up La Cienega I scribbled in my note-book, "quickly everything looms so shiny and bright. Skin/ cars/teeth/buildings/breasts/windows/faces. The palm trees ..the skies perfect and plastic under the high desert sun". It sounds horrific but I really love all that hyper-real California beauty. I hotel hop each time I'm here and for a city that is usually tragic when it comes to hotel options, for some reason there's a boom in fresh spaces this season. This weekend I was at The Palihouse, a brand new "collection of boutique urban lodges" meant to encourage long term stays. Since it's new , I had the run of the place. Everything is pristine, nothing smells but from the Espresso Bar tabac to a really lush lobby studded with a battillion of Chesterfield sofas and twinkling tea lights, a great deal of effort has gone into giving the public spaces "Ye Olde World" flavour. Yet nothing smells. The hotel has a smoke-free policy. Perfectly, perfectly California no?
It was a Sunday afternoon, the hotel had a massive courtyard brassarie that was largely abandoned (boy I really had the run of that place) so that's where Malgosia and I decided to meet. We had a fantastic conversation that stopped being an interview and turned into one of those sweeping, meandering conversational jam sessions particular to graduate students in dingy college cellar cafes. That made sense because Miss Bela has a graduate degree in Cultural Anthroplogy having written a 100 page thesis on the work of Richard Avedon. Malgosia really has a stunning presence . She looks like her pictures in person...very much like a walking Inez and Vinoodh portrait. But what I adored and reveled in was the quality of her mind. We spoke for hours though she was literally on her way to the airport for a flight back to Poland, (even though she had just flown in from Papua New Guniea the day before). We talked about the intellectual desert that is the image industry in California, we talked about her modeling career, her evoloution as an actress, her love of music as a pianist and all the time I was grateful for her realness. Its rare, realness in this business. The realness is on camera. I videoed the whole thing on the trusty Powershot that's always in my back pocket and I was impressed by Malgosia lack of actor's or model vanity. I didn't take a digital snap though... I was so caught up in the conversation. But then I stumbled on Juergen Teller's pictures for Pucci S/S 2008 which beautifully capture the spirit of La Malogosia in person. Women like her make me love what I do for a living.

In 2011, the Sister Wives Blog started out as a place to talk about the TLC reality show "Sister Wives", Kody Brown and his wives Christine, Robyn, Meri and Janelle. Today we not only discuss the show, we discuss Polygamy in our society, and the public perceptions of the Mormon Religion. We discuss "Polygamy USA" and will be covering "My 5 Wives." This blog is geared towards the adult reader, so please, no one under the age of 18 years. Thank you!

Free Hunter Brown - Suicide is not a joke or a ratings ploy
61 comments:
I totally agree with your sentiments about suicide and the need for intervention, and I really think Hunter needed to speak to a professional because he did seem depressed. But I don't remember it being suggested on the show that he was suicidal. There is a big difference between being depressed and suicidal. I remember seeing that he was depressed and hated the move, I just don't remember anyone saying he was expressing suicidal tendencies. Maybe I missed that part though.
ReplyDelete- oh pleeezzzzDecember 8, 2011 at 7:59 AM
This kid seems like a typically moody teenager. He's pissed because his family dragged him away from his friends and school and he has to start over somewhere else. Uprooting kids especially in their teenage years is really hard on them not to mention daddy, his newest twinkie and the fact that their family is on national TV for all to criticize.
ReplyDelete - HeatherDecember 8, 2011 at 8:22 AM
Should they have played up SUICIDE for ratings? If it was true, why didn't he get help? Oh, and Testosterone monster?
The pit was irresponsible of the adult Browns to let this be played the way it was. Teasing suicide. Kudos for pointing this out! - Stink EyeDecember 8, 2011 at 9:55 AM
I am so glad you brought this up, for it had "bothered me rather" (W the P)
Think about if you were on a Reality show.
Would you, seriously, allow this to be played out as thoughtlessness and irresponsible as they did?
The ad ran all freaking summer. Maddie saying, he's suicidal.....
Then, they say it again.
What do we see? Kody at a loss, and thinks he's a real dad b/c he can "talk" sports to his kid. (and, he had to think about that)
Janelle is worried, but she still let it happen.
THEN HE'S a Hormonal MONSTER???????
Is that what you would call someone who was suicidal a few short weeks ago?
Then... like all BROWN upheavals... we see nothing that would cause a change but ZAP! All better next show. well, not really since these pictures are from the last show.
I feel it is a DISGRACE to the entire family that no physiological care was mentioned.
Now a Brown lover might say "maybe they didn't show it." Well, why not? they can call him horrible names, say he's suicidal, but not be-able to say he received help and care?
EITHER way, this is a disgrace to not only the parents, but a chance to educate viewers on the rates./ websites for help.
I think it is despicable. (saying it in my Yosmite Sam voice)
My favorite line of the whole season???
Hunter: Ok Johnny Appleseed!!!!!!!
Mariah, Logan go into polygamy.
Maddie, Aspyn, Mykelti, Hunter RUN from it. Mister Sister said:
You must of missed it. First, they ran it all summer. Hunter storming out, Maddie saying he was suicidal. Then in the first episode, I believe, they talked about it.
Thanks, I figured I must have. I only DVRed the show and don't watch the channel regularly so I never saw the teasers, I do remember them talking about his being angry about the move.
It's despicable that they would use the kids emotional issues in any way to promote their ($$) reality show. Then again, I don't think too highly of any of the Brown adults anyway.
I think they are all a bunch of opportunists and messed up individuals, from everything I have seen. But that takes it to a whole other level of wrongAll excellent points!
If suicide is ever mentioned by a teen, in any context, it should be taken seriously. Drama is the language of the teen. Nonetheless, if the idea is a part of their vocabulary, it has to be addressed.
I hate TLC so much. They have to take some responsibility for screwing up the lives of the Gosselin and Roloff kids. Pushing the kids into scenarios that provoke better story lines for ratings is a horrible practice...and TLC has completely abused kids in ways that would run afoul of child exploitation if Reality Shows counted as real TV. TLC wrote their own rules of exemption from all the laws and guidelines that cover employing children in the entertainment industry. They get away with too much.
Hunter is the only one asking good questions in the family. Why does his dad not pay attention until Hunter raises the stakes with more dramatic language? Then Hunter is dismissed as a "Hormonal Monster". Way to go, Kody! Such sensitivity and insight there! Your son is trying to get your attention and you blow him off so you can get to Robyn's by 8pm, Meri's by 6am. What a great dad!
Free Hunter! I hope someone stays in touch with the boy and offers some calm, light assurance to the kid.
@Logan, I don't think he is as into this polygamy stuff as others do. He's just trying to balance things and create calm, like his mother. If I've read correctly, LDS and FLDS men have a special relationship with their eldest son that mirrors god to Jesus (Mitt Romney refers to consulting his oldest son a lot.) Logan is parroting creed because that has been his role from birth. What he feels internally is a mystery, very like his mom.I don't know how I missed it but I didn't see that Maddie said he was suicidal. I know quite a few people who say things like, "if I don't get that, I'll commit suicide" as a way of dramatizing their life (which is something I dislike very much as my mother died by suicide a year ago).
Hunter was definitely severely depressed and should have received some professional help but I don't know if he was suicidal. Then again, it's not a far jump from severe depression to suicidal especially once hormones are added to the mix.
I'm just speculating, but it may be that Maddie was using suicidal to over-dramatize the situation or to tease him and the editors used the statement for ratings.
I'm appalled that TLC and the Brown family would treat the mention of suicide the way they did. Neither suicide nor severe depression is a joke and it seems that TLC and the Browns used it for ratings and $$. Whether or not Hunter was actually suicidal, TLC definitely should have listed some resources. I wonder if the Browns had some input into not adding those resources? I can totally see that dick of a husband aka Kody saying that they don't want to "legitimize" suicide by providing resources to help deal with the feelings. Although I don't think he'd use a big word like "legitimize".Thanks for bringing this issue up to the public's attention. I don't know how the Brown family deals with mental health issues, but generally Mormon Fundamentalist families DON'T deal with these issues instead categorizing individuals needing mental help as bad, weak, sinful, faithless, or having evil spirits. I hope the Brown family doesn't let their pride get in the way of their son's health.
ReplyDeleteVicky Prunty- To your point, that is exactly what Kody did when he called his son a "monster" on national television.
Everyone makes good points here and thank you to Terrasola for writing this up and bringing it to the forefront.
I know that this was mentioned many times before, but I think it is appropriate to bring up here again: Not only did the Browns (specifically Kody and Janelle) exploit their son, which is particularly horrific given what they were exploiting him about (he is really upset and depressed- let's tell the world about it) but they then proceeded by permitting that idiot Robyn tear the kid apart saying how he had hurt HER.
These people really boggle my mind and I think that this entry is particularly poignant given the recent one focused on Janelle and everyone's opinions of her. Allowing your son's hurt and anguish to be exploited for $$ is not okay and I would venture to say borders on abuse.- AnonymousDecember 8, 2011 at 12:34 PM
I think it is something completely different than you all are guessing at. I think ya'all should re-examine the whole way hunter acts, take a step back and watch it again. I think he is struggling but not with depression but maybe coming out.
ReplyDelete Christine isn't getting any professional help for her depression that we can tell. Her statements don't sound like someone in therapy (though she needs it.) She probably went to an UrgentCare, got a script, filled it and taking them as she sees fit.
One of the signs of cultic societies is that they forbid members from seeking information or input from outside sources. We need to ask Troy about this, whether AUB allows psycho-therapy. Or not, since we all know it doesn't. Bet many of the women are drugged to the gills on Xanax and such prescribed by ordinary doctors.- Sinister SisterDecember 8, 2011 at 12:49 PM

Interesting point you have. I think the main point being made here is how horrendous it was for the Browns to pimp their kid out for ratings///and possible neglect his emotional well being by not taking him to a therapist. Even if they did, it's irresponsible to show one side on TV and not the other- for young impressionable teens that are watching.
Christine has been going to a therapist, so why shouldn't Hunter?
Kody is probably jealous of Hunter, too. - AnonymousDecember 8, 2011 at 1:21 PM
Stargasm and other sites used to "borrow" from here all the time- right down to the pictures. (Ever think of watermarking them?)Until, basically, some commenters here got on to them.
Isn't loyalty great!
ANYWAY, Then, on Facebook and on Twitter, they turn around and BUDDY up with the Browns.
What a shame they wouldn't "Borrow" this. If anyone out there knows someone /// where this article could get more attention, this is the one to do it with! They won't grab it, b.c they might make the Brown's unhappy. That's what I LOVE about this site. You are more concerned with matters of the heart.
I was appauled by the actions of the show. And yes, I have dealt with this, so it is a passion of mine. PLEASE Put this on your facebooks, re-tweet, whatever you can. I have a couple of thoughts. It is easy to blame to TLC. After all, they gave us the Gosselin fiasco, the Roloffs, Toddlers and Tiaras, and the list goes on. Many of these shows demonstrate extraordinarily poor parenting that could be considered emotional and psychological abuse. I am not sure why anyone would believe that Sister Wives would be handled any differently by TLC. I don't think anyone at TLC has a moral consciious and truly they are just a big money making machine. When drama can no longer be manufactured by the Sister Wives, TLC will show them the way to back door.
So, I am thinking the fault lies with the parental units. I am in complete agreement that Hunter's issues should not have been addressed on national tv. Once they made the decision to show that, there should have been follow up with resources. Teen suicide is a critical issue and the signs can often be overlooked explaining it away to hormones and normal teen angst.
Kody is a douche. No matter what way you cut it. He is not a father to any of the children (unless we are now counting the Saviour King). I don't believe Kody knows how to father, nor may even have the capacity to father. His comments on national tv regarding Hunter were uncalled for and potentially could have created a worse situation for Hunter. Peers can be cruel. But, imagine how Hunter must have felt seeing that. Allowing Robyn to speak about how her she was by Hunter - grow the F up bitch. Your suppose to be the adult.
I simply struggle to understand why anyone would sell out their family and their privacy for money. No matter how much money, money doesn't last. The same way the other TLC families were "created" and had their 15 min, eventually SW will fall apart too. I just hope there is not too much damage done to the children. The parents can be on the receiving end of the karma that will surely come their way.- AnonymousDecember 8, 2011 at 1:51 PM
Mormons are notoriously known for their "fake the smile til you're happy" philosophy. It's just not ok to be mormon and be sad longer than a minute or two if at all. Hence, the popular song ,"Turn It Off!" from the Book of Mormon musical.
However, since that obviously doesn't work, ( for the past 10 years or so) Utah has led the nation in the highest per capita rate of prescription anti-depressant prescriptions filled. I'm around teenagers all the time, and Maddie using the word "suicidal" didn't phase me. Teenagers are possibly the most dramatic people on Earth--the problems they are becoming aware of are the biggest problems they have ever faced, so for them, their dramatics are justified--and I hear "suicidal," and "kill myself" references a lot. So I don't think Maddie's comment was too alarming or offensive.
Is Hunter suicidal? I don't know. I think he's having a hard time, but we don't see enough to decide that.- Sinister SisterDecember 8, 2011 at 2:10 PM
Still, it shouldn't be shown the way it was. So not cool. It was a BIG deal that he was depressed and angry.
What got my was when they were on the TV circuit. Ever notice that when the host asks Kody a question, Christine jumps in and answers? I used to think she was a limelight hog until I realized--- they are afraid to let Kody speak!
I'll have to go back and find it, but Anderson, I believe, asked Kody about his communication with Hunter, what did they talk about. Kody was stumped!
All I could think was... my husband may not make a lot of money, etc., BUT.... would have no problem answering the question. The problem would be shutting him up!!!
That man does not know his kids. Now Robyn is there, she is taking away the much needed TEEN time, and they know it.
I forgot about Robyn whining... that's for reminding me. That pissed me off the first go round. It's ALL about her, isn't it? She does that shit so Kody will run and tell him to be nice to her. Pathetic. Will make him hate her even more.
Another thing I feel is abuse is the fact without the kids.... not much of a show.
BUT, instead of saving money for college, it's 4 houses, nails, clothes, you name it. Robyn probably has 10 beds by now, one for each room and one at Meri's!!!! THAT pisses me off. - AnonymousDecember 8, 2011 at 2:15 PM
I think this lifestyle has caused severe emotional damage to many in that family. Christine went on psych meds so I certainly hope Hunter did as well if needed. He and Christine seem very close since she was "Mom" while Janelle worked. The bottom line is that TLC and this family pimp out situations for ratings and it's disgusting to involve children. This poor kid has had private issues thrown out for the world to see along with being publicly humiliated by his father and girlfriend #4. This is a form of child abuse in itself and not taking a minor for evaluation if they are suicidal is negligence and can be reported. Are you reading this TLC & Kody & wives?...shall we add child neglect to the welfare fraud, falsified bankrupcy docs, etc?
ReplyDelete Sinister Sister -
I don't think Christine is seeing a therapist. She doesn't talk like it anyway. Regular MDs will dole out anti-anxiety and anti-depression meds like candy without any oversight or referals to a therapist.
Anon 1:21 -
It's common now for show producers to own critical sites to gain their ad revenue. "Own" loosely, that is. They pick a site critical of one of their shows and make a deal. For a small percentage of the ad revenue, the site agrees to let the show marketers and producers edit their posts more positively, use their pictures and videos.
I'm unaware if Stargasm did this. A couple of telltale signs though -
1.Stealing content from better, more intelligent critical sites.
2.Very good ads on their site of the kind usually only seen on the official sites for the original show.
Food Network Humor definitely has a deal like this. Rotten Tomatoes washed out their gossipy content and got better ads after signing a deal with studios. Just Jared was a fun gossipy site until they cut a deal with a group of publicists. Now their gossip is heavily edited and Just Jared infects your computer with all kinds of ad-ware.
I'm sure, if TLC considers SWs one of their hit shows, that they have worked out a deal with some site and work hard to subvert all criticism there for the hits that lead to more revenue.- AnonymousDecember 8, 2011 at 2:43 PM
plot you don't know what they are talking about, obviously. They used material from this site. I don't think you were around then. Geez.
I agree, it's not good when parents let their kids be used. Simple. Sorry if I wasn't clear Anon 2:43. Yeah, I knew about the content theft. I've read a lot of old posts. What I meant to say, and failed miserably, was that content stealing is a signal that the site (Stargasm) has connections to TLC or the producers of SWs. Not definitive, but that is a habit of "critical" sites that are merely dummy sites set up for the ad revenue hits from anyone looking for criticism of a show.
I just reread the paragraph above. Too tired to make myself clear and have to walk the dogs. Anyway, maybe it's a issue for a blog post, not a comment. Move along everyone, nothing to see here but a sleep deprived woman babbling.- Laura KDecember 8, 2011 at 4:26 PM
Imagine you're a kid who has a lot of friends and a great after-school outlet (football). These are good things to have when you consider that the one man you crave attention from is too damn busy juggling three wives and his honey on the side - soon to become your "fourth" mom whether you like her or not - oh, and she's got three kids you must instantly become a big brother to. And you'd better love all these new people instantly because "Dad" says so.
Then absentee dad announces that you're moving to a brand-new city, and you can't tell anyone that you're leaving because the law might be chasing you. You move into a house away from the kids you've grown up with, your biological mom is clearly depressed about not being able to work, your substitute mom is on depression meds herself, your older brother is Mr. "Take a Chill Pill, Hunter," and your dad is...hmmm...still absent because he's in bed with your newest mom, who clearly has issues with you because you don't shower her with the love and affection she feels she deserves without actually having to earn any of it.
I'd be depressed, too. Really depressed.
Thank goodness Hunter seems to at least have his sister Madison. I hope those two turn 18 and make tracks out of there. Kody won't even notice. - FreeKodysKidsDecember 8, 2011 at 4:28 PM
Stink Eye : I definitely agree that Logan and Mariah will "choose" this "lifestyle" from hell. I disagree that Mykelti will run from it though. Do you remember the episode that she refused to go to Church at one of their homes? It wasn't because she doesn't believe (like the smart one, Maddie) but she refused to go because it was going to be filmed for TLC. She told Kody on the phone Church is private and sacred. If she thinks that, she obviously believes in "the Principle." (Principle=Plural Marriage) They just call it The Principle.
ReplyDelete - Mono4LifeDecember 8, 2011 at 5:08 PM
Great post, Terrasola. We all poke fun at the show and make our snarky remarks, but at the end of the day, I'm sure most if not all of us really do hope the best for these kids.
My take on Hunter is that none of us - including those he lives with - really know what his mental state is. Only Hunter truly knows. Having said that, from what I've seen of him on the show, my impression is that he's just fed up with the whole situation that his parents put him in and he's acting out as a result of his resentment toward his parents.
On a much lighter subject...again with the VOSS bottles in the first picture?!? Finite resources my ASS!!! LOL I have a question. Slightly OT. I know that California has pretty stringent child labor laws which regulate the tv industry. Pennsylvania found themselves being scrutinized with the Gosselin drama because up until '09/'10 the gosselin children were receiving nothing and a court order was needed to specify monies that were to be set aside for them in trust. Currently Pennsylvania is trying to pass laws to protect the use of children in the entertainment industry.
So here is my question? What are Nevada's laws for children in entertainment? I am thinking with Las Vegas and the shows there surely must be something addressed. However, my concern is that the teens in the Brown family are definitely "working" thus the couch interviews. The other children are being filmed and it highly unllikely that everything is shot in one take - I can't imagine the number of takes it took to film the family gathering after the birth of the golden child.
So, are there monies being set aside specifically for the children? And if there are, how does this work with their religion - don't they have to tithe or give excess to their church? I fear the children will never see a dime for their efforts.Only getting to the today's entries now.....
SOOOOOO many insightful replies !!
Bravo, Terrasola !!!
plot said...."Uprooting kids especially in their teenage years is really hard on them not to mention daddy, his newest twinkie and the fact that their family is on national TV for all to criticize."
This kid so, so, obviously DOES NOT want to be on TV, to be filmed, to be *exposed* to the world.
What doesn't his MOTHER and FATHER not get about that ??!!!
Sure, some of the 17 kids may get giggly about being media stars.....but this boy, Hunter, does not !!
It IS abusive for his parents (and the other self-styled Mommies of him)....and TLC...to expect this boy to participate in what he so obviously dislikes.
And to add abuse to even more abuse.....they force that kid to hold the newborn Messiah on camera and pair that clip with Robyn's whining about how "Hunter hurt her"....appalling !!
Yes, absolutely....
TLC is grinding out the ratings and $$/bucks in their ever-growing stable of Reality *Family* Shows, displaying families in a way that is no better than an intrusive TSA pat-down.
Disgusting !!!- AnonymousDecember 8, 2011 at 7:17 PM
A big thing that polygamas children face every day, is thier own mothers bias. The mother insinuates or even so much as tell their children that they are better than the other wives children. If any child has strong physical triats from the father. The wives that are not that child mother, are very resentful and sometime abusive to that child. I think that is normal human behavior. One of the many reason polygamy is so distructive.

Building on Anne's question about child labor laws -- is it possible that Utah's laws on child labor are more restrictive/defined than Nevada's and that was another (more pressing) need for the move?
ReplyDelete - Rubber Tree PlantDecember 8, 2011 at 9:51 PM
I always thoroughly enjoy your thoughtful posts, Terrasola. They bring to light, in greater depth, the madness surrounding this family's lifestyle choice.
I agree with you wholeheartedly: suspected suicidal tendencies are not something to be taken lightly.
Further, I believe that regardless of whether he was clinically depressed, expressing suicidal ideation, simply blue, struggling with his overall identity, or "being a moody teenager", it was explicitly stated in at least one episode, that he was not acting like himself (I.e. withdrawing, giving up football).
Therefore, it behooved his assclown (sorry, I feel very strongly about this) parents to get him assessed, in order to find out if there was something to take further action on. Period.
It baffles me and I find it utterly repugnant that these morons have exploited and publicly maligned this child in the ways that they have, particularly in relation to his mental health.
Free Hunter! Indeed. Sorry but rule number one is don't address that childs issues, behavior, anything negative in front of their peers or in public at all. That is the first thing learned by people who work with children and teens.Even with just substitute teaching, that is burned into our brains. Hunter might face bullying and prejudgments because of the Browns' lack of sensitivity. And if I was in his situation, I would definitely ave a hard time. If he believes in monogamy but is forced to live and accept polygamy it would be hard! It's living a lie and being forced to follow something you do not believe. I feel he is not the happy-go-lucky polygamist child that they want to portray. And it's not his fault. If he believes and wants something different, he should be allowed to express that without being chastised. Of course he can't though. Robyn is already singling him out and he is being tagged as a "problem" and as a "hormonal teenager." I think his depression may be real and I can say that if I was in his shoes, I would certainly not be able to handle that. I would've cracked and exploded already.

Kody calls Hunter a hormonal monster and Robyn whines about how he hurt her feelings on tv. Dad and his mistress are abusive morons. Hunter's frontal lobe is far more advanced than the "adults" he's around for sure. The slime surrounding this family will continue to ooze out and I only hope the kids are OK when Kody World finally implodes.
ReplyDelete Let me clarify.
Suicidal teenagers and signs of suicide should not be taken lightly. Nor should their problems be handled in front of the world--that's the worst things about these stupid reality shows.
But I don't think a child's older sister throwing the word "suicidal" out once means that a teenager is actually suicidal. If anything, Maddie should be talked to about that. That's all I meant.- AnonymousDecember 8, 2011 at 11:17 PM
from what I remember, it was Madison who said, the first time, 'Hunter hates it here, he is suicidal'. I did not take that seriously because it was coming from his 15 yo sister, who also hated being in Vegas. Afterwards, possibly, TLC, the Browns got alot of feedback from that-and at first played up his depression (if he had any) and then, it seems, AFTER POSTS WERE ALL OVER THE 'NET asking, insisting, that he get therapy, help, Janelle suddenly stated that he and madison were all better-and Madison who dyed her hair black because of the move, went back to the lighter color. Now, considering Madison has had black hair WAY BEFORE THE MOVE.. I did not believe anything what Janelle said. So, is Hunter suicidal? Don't know-we can only observe and come to conclusions, but, remember, we only see what they WANT US TO. But, I do agree, Hunter does not want to be on tv... maybe a DNA is in order-definitely did not get that from KODY.

Whether he is or not, TLC and the Browns should not toy with such things for ratings.
ReplyDelete If anything, Maddie should be talked to about that. That's all I meant. "
My problem with all of the Hunter clips and references to Hunter's *problems* on the show are....
I doubt that TLC could be filming minors without the legal guardians having a say in the final cuts before they are aired. TLC alone would not want that potential liability. But we would hope that the "parents" would have wanted it anyway..(we can hope)
Which means that they (the Brown adults) knew what Madison said, had more than enough time to explore and decide what context she meant by it and whether it should have been aired.
Her mother, logical, intelligent Janelle, knew that clip would be shown.....just like she knew exactly what she doing when she discussed her son's emotional stability *on camera*.
And yes, it would have been normal since she did choose to say it, if pragmatic Janelle had also followed up with that he was getting help.
Kody obviously didn't care about his son being singled out....
he was probably too busy fluffing his hair for the next camera shoot.
Since they are supposedly all mothers to *all the children*, obviously Mom Meri and Mom Christine didn't notice or care that Hunter was cruelly subjected to such public scrutiny.
As for Robyn using that poor boy as the poster child for her personal campaign/demand of "I am not to dissed or ignored"....
Shame on ALL of the adults for allowing that to go down like that against a young teen.- SeechelleDecember 8, 2011 at 11:50 PM
I have personal experience with teenage depression. If my father had reacted to it by belittling me through minimizing it on national tv by referring to the problems I was having as me just being a hormonal monster it would have been devastating to say the least. I wouldn't let Kody parent my pet rock.

I just want to point out that Queen Meri likes to brag about her former "career"
working with "at risk youth." Well it's blatantly obvious to me and from reading this blog many other viewers as well, that the KB-FUs are a plethora of at risk youth. So there you go, Meri, start working already. Also not to sound like a goody two shoes, I have worked with at risk youth offenders since 2006 and have known one who has taken his life just 2 short weeks ago. Furthermore, in my experience many or dare I say most, have mental health and various other issues and challenges ranging from depression, to bi-polar to aspergers and autism. As you've probably guessed, in
my line of work massive interventions and daily procedures are followed to insure the youth revives the appropriate and customized form of treatment and support. It disgusts me that Robyn has picked a very public critique of her supposed "bonus" child. On one last note to speak to the seriousness of suicide, my late brother in law actually spent time at the facility I worked for, grew up with depression, parental issues which led to substance abuse aznd so on... Last year at the age of 30, married with 4 gorgeous precious children, threw himself in front of a car and died.
The fact that TLC uses these children's dismay as a ratings ploy is inexcusable.
-anonymous in Canada. I haven't read through the whole thread, but if teenagers are discussing suicide and parents don't address it responsibly, they may as well let the kids do it anyway, because the teen may avoid the ultimate act, only to smolder with those feelings for years on end, and this is not a healthy way to live.
Are they avoiding the reality of professional medical treatment for Hunter? That's a big problem in the AUB. Large numbers of people in the congregation avoid seeing a legitimate, non-AUB doctor, and usually for completely irrational reasons based on ignorance and FEAR.Troy,
On SW Maddie said Hunter was suicidal, and much was said about his depression. Then, on national TV, Kody said Hunter was an "Hormonal Monster"- but no talk of him receiving professional help.
