Wore them for about a month.
"This pair of oxfords are easily worn out. I wore them every single day for about a month, and now they look ragged in the back of the shoe. I am attaching a picture. I walk for about five hours a day in NYC. Overall, they are very everyday kind of shoes. They are very plain and looks great with socks. The ribbon shown on the website isn't really a ribbon -- it's more like strings (as seen in the picture.) They are still cute to this day, just a bit worn out :) ."

"I love the oxford flat trend because with my high arches and tiny feet I tend to walk right out of a pair of ballet flats... Overall I think these are a win for me. These shoes look cute but not overly so in photos, but in person, with the ribbon laces they verge into overly cutesy and whimsical territory. I was looking for a good balance between sweetly feminine and menswear inspired styling. I'll probably go out and find some black rope laces to tone down the cuteness. I will probably also find some inserts to provide a little more support. Width wise they fit fine but I ordered a 5.5 and these feel like a 6 in length on me."

Sweet and comfy!
"These shoes are adorable and very comfortable. Great alternative to flats and can be paired up with causal outfits and dresses. It adds a bit of cuteness to a simple outfit!"

Cute & Comfy!
"I love this shoe - it's an adorable Oxford type shoe with a wood heel & cute ribbon tie. At first it was a little tight to wear socks but loosened up enough that I can wear it with thin socks or a gel insert with no problem. I love pairing these with a skirt or dress for a casual dress look."

Praline most commonly refers to almonds or pecans coated with caramelized sugar. This treat is thought to have originated from Louisiana where spices are not an uncommon addition to this sweet, crunchy delight.
Don't get burned! Use a wooden spoon and a heat-resistant rubber scraper. All metal spoons can get very hot while stirring.

: : : The first thing to understand is that septic tank installations are regulated. Therefore, you have to contact your agency for their requirements and whether they will approve a home made tank. If they do, then they will also have the rest of the specifications, i.e., leach field dimensions based on your perc test, bedding, etc.

Kim Jong-un Drew This Picture of a Mini-Golf Course For Some Reason
The life of North Korea supreme leader Kim Jong-un is so demanding. He's got to visit endless dolphinariums, watch Disney musicals and, of course, look at things. It's amazing he found time to hand sketch a picture of a mini-golf course for a government report. But he did, and here it is.
The little scribble below was included in a report called "Report on the Procedure of Building Mini-Golf Equipment," according to the Korea JoongAng Daily:
In the report, Kim wrote on March 29 that the landscapers for the Rungna amusement park should "plant trees between each golf facility for providing shade."
There, he himself drew pictures of people taking a break in the shade of a big tree and made a specific explanation next to it.
So, that's nice, I guess? The stark lines and minimalist aesthetic remind me a little of those nice, horrific hell-scenes drawn by escapees from North Korean concentration camps.
Kim Jong-un's only redeeming quality is his weird fixation on mini-golf. (Because who doesn't love mini-golf?) He's been trying to build more courses, and his wife, Ri Sol-ju, was first revealed to the public during a photo opp at a mini-golf course.

Rock Springs Adoption Features Riverton Area Wild Horses
The first Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Wyoming wild horse adoption of the year will be held at the Rock Springs Wild Horse Holding Facility (Facility) on March 8-9. The adoption will feature horses gathered from the North Lander Wild Horse Herd Management Area Complex east of Riverton, Wyo., in November 2012.
"A lot of nice, quality, young wild horses came from the North Lander Complex during the November gather," states BLM Wild Horse Specialist Scott Fluer. "I encourage people to adopt these trainable young animals and then attend Wyoming Mustang Days in Douglas this August to show off their newly adopted wild horses."
On Friday, March 8, from 12-3 p.m., potential adopters will be able to preview the wild horses available at the Facility, ask questions of BLM specialists and fill out an adoption application.
On Saturday, March 9, the adoption will begin at 8 a.m. Untrained weanlings, geldings and mares from the North Lander Complex will be showcased. All horses will be available on a first come, first serve basis for the standard adoption fee of $125.
Adoption requirements and applications are available online at www.blm.gov/wy/st/en/programs/Wild_Horses/adopt.html.
The Facility has been temporarily closed since October 2012 so that all North Lander Complex horses could be evaluated by a veterinarian, dewormed, Coggins tested and given booster shots.
For more information about the facility, please contact Kathi Fine at 307-352-0292. To learn more about BLM Wyoming's wild horse program, please visit www.blm.gov/wy/st/en/programs/Wild_Horses.html.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

Eco Pro Tungsten Elite Worm Weights
The Eco Pro Tungsten Elite Worm Weights feature exclusive colors you can't find with other tungsten weights. The colors were designed with the help of BASS Elite Series veteran pro, Dean Rojas, and they are the weights he uses when he is on tour. Also offering an extra small profile to slip in and out of cover with fewer snags, their tungsten composition makes them much harder than their lead counter parts for double the sound when they bang against a glass bead or rock. Eco-friendly to protect our fisheries for future generations, the Eco Pro Tungsten Dean Rojas Worm Weights also feature insert-free technology for increased sensitivity and no frayed lines.

'The reeds are gathered seasonally from creek waterways and rivers and dried. The weaving I do is twining. These baskets are made mostly by older women, young women as a rule are not interested in this time consuming craft. I have over the last twenty years or more began practising these traditional skills purely for my own creative pleasure and for the purpose of maintaining my culture.'
(Lennah Newson, artist's statement, 2003)
Such early baskets were encountered and recorded by explorers to the Tasmania region in the 19th century. A plate by Leseur in Voyage de decouvertes aux terres australes 1807 contains the main elements of Tasmanian Aboriginal culture: clubs and spears, a woven rush basket, a pleated water container of bull kelp and a necklace of iridescent shells.

TUPELO – Tupelo seniors cut a rug at senior prom Thursday, but not the seniors most often associated with prom.
Five Tupelo High School senior class members put on a senior prom at Traceway, a retirement community in Tupelo.
Traceway residents were dressed to the nines, dancing to Elvis Presley, Three Dog Night and Johnny Horton.
"We like to dress up special, and we've really enjoyed it," said Prom King Bill Webb, 90. "It's nice to have something like this. We're just a bunch of overgrown juveniles."
Webb and his wife, Tommye, the prom queen, were the first to hit the dance floor and share a quick smooch. She was in her prom dress, he in a bow tie, and both with flowers pinned to their chests.
"My wife and I have been married 65 years, and we've still got it," he said. "We like a little dancing every now and then."
Lexie Wise, Maggie Wheeler, Skylar Talley, William Drummond and Madison Stafford have been participating in and planning events at Traceway this semester. Their volunteer service came to fruition Thursday with their senior project – the senior prom.
"Leading up to this, we did Easter bingo, and we have a gardening club we're doing later," Wise said.
Juanita Lowry, 85, goes to Brewer some Friday nights to dance and was glad to have dancing at Traceway.
She spent most of prom on the dance floor.
"It's fun to have dancing here," she said. "We have birthday parties every month, but we don't dance. We usually sing and have entertainment, but this is the first time we've done any dancing."
The THS seniors decorated Traceway for prom with streamers, lights and signs.
They dressed up and danced along with residents.

Last summer, Missy Franklin put smiles on the faces of millions of Americans as she swam to five medals at the London Olympic Games. Last week, the 17-year-old high school senior was only concerned with doing so for about a dozen kids.
The kids, all patients at Children's Hospital of Littleton, received a special visit from the four-time gold medal winner March 7. Franklin took time with each of them individually, posing for pictures, sharing stories and telling and listening to jokes. She also let each of them try on one of her gold medals.
Prior to spending one-on-one time with them, America's fastest young swimmer told them as a group what it was like chasing after her goals, achieving her first world record at the Olympics, making the infamous "Call Me Maybe" video, balancing her studies and practice — and yes, meeting Justin Bieber.
She also shared stories of enduring with the kids that she hoped would leave a lasting impression. Telling them about missing out on the medal podium by a hundredth of a second in the 200 freestyle, she talked about coming back strong.
"That was a really good lesson for me," she said. "As much as I wanted to be on that stand and as much as that one-hundredth hurt, I knew that I had to leave that race behind me and that I had to get up and come back the next day."
In Franklin's next individual event, the 200 backstroke, she wound up claiming her first world record.
That lesson of not giving up, but instead digging deeper, was just one of the many she shared with the kids. Franklin also told them not to be afraid to ask for help, that it actually makes you stronger, not weaker, to rely on somebody else's assistance.
Emma Bruxvoort, 14, of Littleton, has had to get used to asking for help since she was diagnosed a year ago with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Before she initially got sick in 2010, she competed regularly in triathlons. She for one was thrilled to have Franklin visit.
"It's pretty cool," Emma said of the visit. "I've never really met a famous athlete before, and it's kind of inspirational to see how she's grown. … It was nice that she would come and take her time off to talk to kids like us, going through hard times."
And while many of the kids talked about what an inspiration Franklin was to them over the past year-plus, there was no question that inspiration works both ways.
"It's just incredible to see these people who have been through so much and still have such a big smile on their faces," Franklin said of the kids. "They have just gone through so much and overcome all odds.
"When I sit back and think about what they've been able to accomplish and to push through, it honestly makes what I've done just completely minuscule."

The best hotels in NYC are as diverse as the city. Whether you're craving five stars or a funky boutique hotel, T+L's guide to where to stay in New York has you covered.
More than just a place to sleep in between shopping and museum outings, New York City hotels can be an experience in and of themselves, giving travellers insight into the personality of a particular corner of the city. Take the Harlem Flophouse, for example: a small boutique hotel set in an 1890s townhouse with vintage wallpapered rooms named after jazz greats like Duke Ellington and Thelonius Monk. Or for a taste of old New York glamour, there's the Carlyle, an Upper East Side icon with Louis XVI-style furnishings and black-marble bathrooms. Even the more familiar hotel staples, like Sofitel, Marriott, Hyatt, and Hilton—often set in center-of-it-all spots like Times Square and the Financial District—offer their own particular slice of the New York scene.
Want to go all out? Book a room at the Baccarat, the Four Seasons, or the Peninsula—a stay might cost thousands a night, but you'll be rewarded with extravagant accommodations and incredible views over Park Avenue or Central Park. Other T+L editor favorites highlighted in the guide include the St. Regis, a Beaux-Arts beauty that houses the bar that invented the Bloody Mary; the Ritz-Carlton, which overlooks Central Park and provides outrageously luxurious amenities like a "tech butler," a gemologist, and an award-winning concierge team; and the Mandarin Oriental, with its sleek, modern design, opulent Asian-inspired décor, and a 14,500-square-foot spa that offers treatments like ayurvedic scalp stimulation and Thai yoga massage.
No matter where in the five boroughs you're heading, the T+L guide will help you find a hotel as singular as the city itself.Read Less

Bears running back Matt Forte will not play Sunday against the St. Louis Rams because of a sprained ankle, coach Lovie Smith said Friday.
Instead, Michael Bush is expected to earn his first start since joining the Bears.
"No doubt Michael's excited about playing," Smith said. "When you're the backup running back, you want to get reps. I can't think of a running back who's ever had too many carries.
"He's excited about it, as are Armando Allen and Kahlil Bell. Those guys are ready to go."
Forte declined to comment after missing his third consecutive practice. Smith said Forte was making progress but did not indicate whether he might be able to return in Week 4 at Dallas.

Posted on 08/03/2013 7:32:28 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks
Police in New York City are trying to find a black man wearing a hoodie who is responsible for a horrific attack on a teenage white girl who was stabbed 11 times just steps from her front door.
The knife-wielding maniac ambushed Natasha Martinez, 17, as she returned home from working her shift at a local McDonalds restaurant.
Hearing her daughters screams, Natashas mother, Wendy Martinez, came running outside and the bloodthirsty attacker fled.
She came home from work, and her body was full of holes, Wendy Martinez told the New York Daily News.
I was holding her because she was going to fall. Her face was turning white, and I slapped her. I was telling her, You have to stay alive.
The teen is recovering at Jamaica Hospital, in the borough of Queens, after undergoing surgery for stab wounds to her back, arms, stomach and kidney. Doctors had to remove a vein from her leg and put it in her arm. Her mother describes her condition as really bad.
This is so difficult, said Natashas mom. You raise your child, take care of them since they were a baby, and then something like this happens.
Several neighbors said they heard Natashas screams the night of the attack.
I think she was screaming help or something, witness Christopher Lopez told WCBS-TV.
Then all of a sudden, I heard the screams get louder and I said, Let me take a look, said witness Teddy Betancourt, and it was the girls mother, holding her up, screaming looked like she passed out.
Many in the neighborhood were unaware of the attack until police knocked on their doors.
(Excerpt) Read more at wnd.com ...
Bammy's son.
Martinez. Is she white or a white hispanic?
Would the proposed Trayvon law would protect the guy in the hoodie?
Any minute the justice bros will be there protesting.
all that screaming but "many people were unaware of the attack until the police knocked on their doors"
Hmmm and they wonder why people in hoodies are looked at sideways. I wonder if Obama could have been this hoodie wearing evil monster.
Let me guess, the attacker was just giving the girl an "ass whuppin", Trayvon Martin style?
I guess he was on a quest for candy and tea and suspected she was following him.
What better way to celebrate his hatch day.
The hoodie did it. Did the SUV assist?
Cut the guy some slack. He's probably upset because of slavery that happened a couple hundred years ago.
Public hangings of domestic terrorists need to start happening.
Protesting that the Martinez girl did not die. There is but one word that sums up black behavior and if I use it, I'll be banished.
As long as no black thugs were hurt, I'm pretty sure this type of incident is allowed by Holder's DOJ.
...but he is already a slacker...
Young black men: 3% of the population. 50% of the murders.
SCREAMMMMMMMM! It's the ghost of st. trayboi come back as a haint. Run for your lives.
Does the guy in the hoodie look like someone who could be obama's son?
Eloi are supposed to be killed by Morlocks. Duh. Same day, same you-know-what.
haint him just a copy...cat
I was in fly-over country the other day, the middle of nowhere, farm country with no city around for more than 100 miles. On the door of the 7-11 store was a sign saying no hoodies allowed. They had just posted it two days earlier because of an incident.
Whew. Had me scurred there for a minute.
Wasn't there just a story last week about a girl in NY working at McDonalds that was hassled by blacks and she called her family and they came down to MCd's and filed a police report and later the Dad and other members of the family were stabbed? Is it possible this is the same family and the same group of Blacks retaliating or is it just a horrible coincidence?
Racist ! ;-)
Let's hope the sign (not the incident) becomes a national trend.
wouldnt want ya ta be havin nitemares
Some hot, ugly months ahead; watch your six. OPSEC.
At least she didn't defend herself. That would have been racist.
Uh, I think she would be a self-professed white Hispanic. Either that or a media professed white with a Hispanic name.
Of course, there might be some Irish in there, too.
Irish yeah she has green eyes.
those four look way to alive to be trayvon
No controlling legal authority
Sounds like a creepy @ss slasher.
This B on White or White Hispanic getting to the point where we need a 'new' Curtis Sliwa and an updated version of the Guardian Angels, perhaps the mission could be besides walking people home that request it, set some kind of 'bounty' on crimes such as this.
Say for every White person randomly attacked by a Black would result in say 5 Blacks getting attacked, Randomly, of course.
If 5 Blacks attack one White, 25 Blacks would get attacked by the 'Guardian Avengers'.
None of the mumbo jumbo of 'the innocent' will suffer because of the guilty, it appears that the majority of these recent 'post Trayvon B on W have been random', so even if Zimmerman, A WHITE HISPANIC, is the cause of innocent Whites being attacked etc etc etc.
This will either bring about the action this current pResident and his DOJ are seeming clamoring for OR Black and Whites will take to the street to stop the marauding attackers....
Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, leftist websites, Obama. . . all those who gin up black hatred of whites are responsible for this and the rising trend of black violence against whites. The more they make every black into Jackie Robinson, the more they create a climate where blacks feel justified in attacking whites.
Looks like there is a connection
The end of the article talks about a McDonalds and a feud with a known gang member.
Any suggestion of a motive? A teen girl walking home from McDonald's, on a public street, does not seem like a particularly good target for robbery or rape. Was this perhaps "just" a hate crime, or an attack for the fun of it? A Trayvon revenge crime?
I'm wondering why I haven't seen a story about Riley Cooper on here yet. I agree the n word is offensive, but so are alot of words. I bet in the context of Cooper who many black teammates call his friend was hurling insults, yet they want to paint him as a racist. Nobody cares that Vick who asked for redemption killed dogs for money, the poor white guy uttered the horrible n word and must be punished!
The knife-wielding maniac ambushed Natasha Martinez, 17, as she returned home from working her shift at a local McDonalds restaurant.
Wait a minute. Why is she working? Isn't she supposed to be home tending three or four little "welfare" cases? Is it legal for seventeen-year-old girls to be gainfully employed?
I love your dog. Every time you post a pic of that dog I get doberman envy.
yeah i know all about it i used a mostly bleeped one just like stboz said upthread and sat on the sidelines for 3 days just before The Verdict

The inspection report is a standard state form which reveals whether there is any earth-to-wood contact on the property, if there were any areas of the structure that were not ever inspected, and if it appears that any previous termite treatment has been performed.

An out of this world experience
"Our next finisher, in 46:09, will be doing research on space-time continuum for Hardrock 100..."
Yup, that's right. Because, when I finally planted that kiss on The Rock, it seemed all that happened in the past 2 days didn't happen to me, didn't happen just now and didn't happen here. After sleep-walking for the last 2+ hours I was pretty drained of any emotions, and it was like looking from above on all the happenings in a faze...
Hardrock 100 was all I imagined it to be and then some. I would love to tell you the story. As I was driving back, everything moved so far away, and became even more vague. It took me another 2 days to realize it was real, I made it, and the dream I had become a reality, yet still like a dream. May be this is how Hardrock is. A Dream. More than anything else. An experience. And not even simply because of how tough it is, or how beautiful, or how special the people are around it. San Juans, strung together in a single 100 miles of push is truly special and divine. I am blessed to have shared it with so many...
One day, I hope, I find time (and computer - which I don't have at home, and I quit my job now) to say more. I don't want to waste empty words without fully describing these mountains and these people, all the thoughts and revelations. Hardrock 100 deserves so much more. With over 300 photos to download it might - just might - express a tiny bit of emotions. For now - I am extremely happy and satisfied and wouldn't want to take anything back, from marking course days, dear friends, Larry's support, good and ugly, race and walk, smiles and tears...without it all I wouldn't be who I am, and I kind of like who that person is:)

Posted on 01/01/2014 8:51:34 AM PST by Drew68
The last hope for Jahi McMath to be kept on a ventilator may come from a former Long Island hairdresser who runs a brain-injury treatment center dedicated to Terri Schiavo, the Florida woman whose case sparked a fierce nationwide end-of-life debate.
(Excerpt) Read more at contracostatimes.com ...
Terry was in a persistent vegetative state. This poor child has been prounounced deceased. The parents should shut of the ventilator and let her loose.
It is an organism shaped like a previous person
Being kept alive by the unnecessary efforts of many
I've seen this all too many times...
I'm not sure this passes the smell test...
I agree.
I'm curious where the funding for her care will come from. I'm pretty sure medicaid does not pay for the care of dead people.
The local news here said a pediatrician said that she was responsive and the family says she responds to their voices. Now I don't know about the credibility of the family but a pediatrician is an MD and should know what they're talking about.
I feel for the family, they must think that as long as she has a pulse and they see her chest rise and fall, she's still alive.
I'm holding out hope for a miracle.
Is the hospital wanting her organs?
I belong to the school of thought that the family is torturing a corpse. Brain dead is brain dead. Prayers for all involved.
Dr. Paul A. Byrne, neonatologist, pediatrician, President Life Guardian Foundation, has not actually examined McMath.
Venturing into landmine territory ..... what is going on here is not for Jahi, but for her shell-shocked, grief stricken family whose child had what has become a fairly common, routine procedure that went terribly wrong. They have not and cannot come to grips with it ..... yet. How they eventually do this remains to be seen ... right now, they are desperate not to accept what has happened.
From personal experience over the last couple of years and an ongoing situation, I have come to recognize the significant difference between "quantity" of life and "quality" of life. My personal belief is that, at some point (each defines his own 'point'), you let nature take its course ..... no one escapes death. For those who have no faith and for whom death is a bottomless black pit, this is terribly hard. For those with faith, who believe our loved one is going to heaven to forever be in the presence of God's love, we struggle with our human emotions and not wanting to lose the earthly presence, but we are ultimately at peace with the assurance we are not forever parted from our loved one. I pray for Jahi's parents to find peace.
Generally, and in my experience...
One of the examining MD's should be
a Neurologist or Neurosurgeon as they have an elevated awareness of how to assess CNS function in the presence of mechanical supports.
1) No evidence of drug induced coma, hypothermia, or other reversable cause of coma.
2) No evidence of Cortical, Sub-cortical, or Brain stem activity by expert exam.
3) No spontaneous respiratory activity, in the absence of metabolic parameters that inhibit Brain stem activity.
Jahi McMath's parents carry on this way because they are looney plus they want maximum publicity exposure for a lawsuit down the road. This hospital is scared as heck at being called racist.
The hospital seems blameless to me. It was a simple operation that went wrong. This happens but the family sees a chance to cash in.
3 doctors have said she is brain dead. 2 from the hospital and we can give latitude to those that say they MIGHT have a conflict. The third and INDEPENDENT Dr.Paul Graham Fisher, a pediatric neuro-oncologist at Stanford School of Medicine, backs their assessments.
My understanding is she has been declared by at least 3 MD's. This pediatician is somebody the family brought in. According to Calif law she is DEAD.
I agree this is either super denial or just the beginning of a huge lawsuit.
This is sufficient...
This is a difficult case without knowing specific medical details it really isn't possible to make a judgment.
If ( and a big if) as the family says she is making movements of any kind than this is a sign of brain activity. My initial feeling ( as someone who is medically trained) is to agree that she is most likely brain dead and support should be withdrawn. However reports by the family of movement is disturbing especially given reports that it wasn't necessarily the complication of the surgery that caused her cardiac arrest but an extreme delay in recognizing that a complication ( bleeding) had occurred. This makes the hospital appear less than trustworthy in this case.
I too wonder about the standards for brain death and the qualifications of those making the determination. I remember a few months back a news story about a neurosurgeon who was declared brain dead who did come out of a coma and had quite a lot to say about it.
Terry Schiavo was much different. Her folks and family were very humble and just wanted to take her home to be cared for by them. This girl Jai is dead (in some ways) and her folks never talk about bringing her home. They talk about running up huge bills at some kind of care facility. Bills they will not be paying. I doubt they are paying jack right now....all they do is run their mouths while the hospital is providing care it knows it will never be re-reimbursed for. Hospital keeps it mouth shut for racial reasons
Someone mentioned ice chips only at first...and that's what I remember.
Sucking on a popsicle?? Remember when you had your molars pulled at the dentist...and he said...no sucking...
—she is making movements of any kind
—than this is a sign of brain activity
Not quite true
Spinal cord reflex movements are sometimes preserved
in "Brain Death"
we shall see.
Meanwhile here is a good comment from the UK Daily Mail>>>
Having worked in insurance authorizations I would almost bet the insurance co stopped paying for her care the day she was declared brain dead bc daily updates have to be done. And rightfully so. I usually hate insurance companies like everyone else but their obligation is done as is the hospital's. The hospital and everyone who in turn goes there after is paying for her. This family has been delusional from the beginning when they claimed all they wanted was a chance at a Christmas miracle to come home. Guess what. We are at Jan 1 2014. Then they said all they wanted was another doctor to look at her and declare not brain dead. That doctor said "Yup. Brain dead". I called it then that they'd keep on and on. People always think God will give you what you ask. God teaches us lessons and it's not what we demand. I hope the judge finally ends this. Give the child some peace and dignity. She...is...DEAD. She's not in a coma. She's dead. As unfortunate as it is there's no changing it.

Yes, she was and it is troubling that people have politicized the issue in trying to compare the two. It actually does a disservice to Schaivo's story in that people who weren't really educated about Schaivo's condition are now led to believe that she must've been brain dead as well.
Schaivo = Schiavo. I should at least spell her name right.
Mother of brain-dead Jahi McMath claims 'inhumane' hospital staff have stopped feeding her girl, 13, and now coldly refer to her as 'the body'
'To watch my daughter just sit there and not have food ... I'm just so happy that she is kind of a thick girl so she still looks good,' Latasha Winkfield said today.
'I tell her every day, 'Jahi, you losin' weight girl, but you still look good.' I just think it's inhumane to not feed my child, to not refer to her by her name, and stop us in our tracks.'
'Performing medical procedures on the body of a deceased human being is simply not something Children's Hospital can do or ask its staff to assist in doing,' he said.
Monday by a hospital spokesman.
He said the hospital would allow a doctor retained by the family to insert a feeding tube and to replace the oral ventilator keeping Jahi's heart beating with a tracheal tube surgical procedures that would stabilize Jahi if she is moved to a facility willing to keep caring for her.
Straus, the hospital's lawyer, reiterated in his letter that the hospital would release the girl's body as soon as her family provided a detailed plan outlining how the move would be accomplished and written permission from the coroner. But he said neither has been submitted.
'No facility has stated, unconditionally or otherwise, that it is prepared to immediately accept Jahi's body,' he wrote.
Also this family is intoxicated by their 15 minutes of fame of being part of the daily media merry-go-round. It goes to peoples heads. This is like one big Montel Williams show that is only featuring them and Jai
Its inhumane to rush to kill a sick patient.
The parents are quite right to want to remove their child from the hospital that put her in this condition. Her parents are right to not trust its diagnosis.
Her parents cannot keep her in a permanent brain-dead state.
"Terry was in a persistent vegetative state."
Not. at. all.
In no way.
Decidedly not.
Your statement, however well-intentioned, is mistaken.
"I remember a few months back a news story about a neurosurgeon who was declared brain dead who did come out of a coma and had quite a lot to say about it."
There have been a number of similar cases.
I agree. The poor child is dead. Time to let her go, bury her, and grieve.
Yes actually they can. If they want to be with their daughter let them.
Btw, unborn children aren't considered alive as well...abortion must ok then too right?
I would trust Ben Carson to give another opinion. The Media lied about Terri Schiavo's situation, and I will never trust them again to tell the truth when it comes to state-sponsored Euthanasia. All the doctors had to do was get this child on a ventilator & g-tube for nutrition and transfer her to a long-term facility — why railroad her death unless it is to harvest her organs ?
The parents were quite wrong to have their daughter undergo a surgery for a problem that could have been fixed by them: Healthy eating and exercise.
as one who works in the health field: well said AND nursing homes can not "pull the plug"; most have policies against this. if she survives after ventilator removed then we have another issue.
Unborn children have brain activity, this child does not. Her brain is in the process of decomposing, and it will soon liquify and drain out of her nose. Horrific but true. Your example is pathetic at best.
If that is all true, that the child was doing things she wasn't supposed to be doing during her recovery, WHERE WERE THE NURSES??? They and the surgeon were the ones who should have made sure the family knew what was expected - I would have thrown them all out if they were contributing to Jai's situation.
Brain Death is a different situation.
See post #12
The third and INDEPENDENT Dr.Paul Graham Fisher, a pediatric neuro-oncologist at Stanford School of Medicine, backs their assessments.
I have been involved in 100's of these determinations
It is Bluntly Obvious to one with trained eyes when
the Brain is irrevocably nonfunctional.
All I needed to know was that an
Academic Pediatric Neuro-oncologist had confirmed it.
Any Board Certified Neurologist or Neurosurgeon would
understand the complexity of thought that goes into this...
Time to let her go, bury her, and grieve.
The grieving will be the hard part, until the hospital and doctors higher the lawyers to litigate a malpractice suit.
It's going to be rough for this family I am sorry to say.
She didn't simply have her tonsils removed. Jahi underwent three surgical procedures for the treatment of her sleep apnea. This included a tonsillectomy, a uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), and removal of nasal turbinates. I've read the UPPP surgery is particularly risky and is known to cause a lot of bleeding out.
I think these are the facts that need to come out. People are blaming the hospital 100% because all they hear is " routine procedure " when it really wasn't. The parents knew the risks. Personally, I think it would've been a lot less risky to put that girl on a diet. Sleep apnea can be brought on by weight gain, and if a person always had it, being overweight certainly doesn't make it any better. My husband had borderline sleep apnea, diagnosed after a sleep study. He lost 20 pounds, its barely nonexistent now.
Now, despite any of that, I believe it should be up to the family and not the hospital to pull the plug.
" and removal of nasal turbinates. Ive read the UPPP surgery is particularly risky and is known to cause a lot of bleeding out."
I can personally attest to this. I had mine drilled 15 years ago and was warned about this in advance. I was still surprised.
This neurosurgeon, Dr. Ebel Alexander, went on to write a best selling book about his near-death experience.
The problem though is that he was never clinically declared brain dead. Parts of his brain shut down following a meningitis-induced coma. He was in a coma but his brain was still receiving oxygen. Jehi McMath's brain is not receiving oxygen and is by now most likely highly decomposed.
There have been several people in other countries who revived after being declared brain dead. It is argued that in these countries, where the laws governing organ donations are far more proactive, the criteria for establishing brain death is different from those in the United States.
Of course, doctors are human and make human mistakes and there are cases of people returning after being erroneously declared brain dead. They survived only because they weren't really brain dead in the first place.
It's reasonable to say that after three weeks of no brain activity whatsoever, this is not the case with Jahi McMath.
And for how long should the hospital keep Jahi hooked up, at a rough cost of $10,000/day, to a machine that could otherwise be used to save someone else's life?
If you know that Jahi was eating a popsicle and sitting up laughing with her family, etc., then why didn't a nurse?
Disconnecting life support is one thing. Forcing the girl to stay in that hospital violates the parents' rights. Wasn't that actually what the issue came down to in the Terry Schiavo outrage?
You paying for that permanent state of brain-dead existence?
I didn't think so. Let her go home.
Why you think abortion is involved is ridiculous. Grow-up
IIRC, Terry was not on a ventilator.
They're not trying to take the girl home. They want her admitted to a long-term care facility. Until now they haven't been able to find one. They are also being asked to by hospital to provide, in writing, a plan for the continued care of Jehi. They have not done so. Perhaps now they can. Also at issue is the insertion of a feeding tube. Doctors at her current hospital will not perform surgery on a dead person, as Jehi has been legally declared.
In Schiavo's case, her husband was her primary next of kin and legally allowed to make medical decisions on her behalf. He made the argument that Terri would not have wanted to continue living in her condition and that prolonged life support should end. He was challenged by her family in a very acrimonious and public battle but he ultimately prevailed in the courts.
Really? The news report I saw said the pediatrician said that she was not brain dead. If he hasn't examined her, what is he basing his opinion on? While I'm sure there are ways to video conference the patient and look at the records yet the report made it sound like he examined her at the hospital.
I feel bad for the family, the Doctors tell you the surgery is no big deal and then she ends up possibly brain dead? People need to know that any surgery is dangerous and there is an element of risk and it sounds like this was voluntary surgery, not a life threatening problem.
"Is the hospital wanting her organs?"
Maybe, but the black-robed serial murderers in Pinellas County, Florida, are finding it harder and harder to resist the urge to strike again.
A tonsillectomy to relieve sleep apnea?

Can anyone stop Adrian Peterson? Green Bay's receiving depth pays off, same goes for Washington's rookie QB depth, the Seahawks are increasingly dangerous and more in Scott Cullen's Week 15 NFL Recap.
RECORD IN SIGHT Vikings RB Adrian Peterson continued his assault (212 YDS, 24 carries) on opposing defences. Peterson has now rushed for a career-high 1812 yards on the season, needing 294 in the last two games to eclipse Eric Dickerson's record of 2,105 rushing yards, set in 1984.
PACK IT UP Coming into the season, the Green Bay Packers knew they had a deep receiving corps, but headliners Greg Jennings and Jordy Nelson were slated to be the top targets for QB Aaron Rodgers.
Injuries to Jennings and Nelson, however, created opportunities for those considered depth receivers at the start of the season. Randall Cobb (6 REC, 115 YDS at Chicago) ranks 13th among all receivers with 77 catches and 20th with 892 receiving yards.
James Jones, who has 51 catches for 822 yards, leads all NFL receivers with a dozen touchdowns after scoring three against Chicago. That's one touchdown for every 4.25 receptions, the best rate among any receiver with at least five touchdowns (Bengals rookie WR Mohamed Sanu had four touchdowns on 16 catches before landing on IR).
KISSING COUSINS When the Washington Redskins drafted Baylor's Robert Griffin III second overall in the 2012 draft, then selected Michigan State's Kirk Cousins in the fourth round, there was puzzlement about why the Redskins would use a fourth-round pick for a backup quarterback. A short version of the answer could be witnessed Sunday when Cousins started in place of an injured Griffin and was very productive (26-for-37, 329 YDS, 2 TD, 1 INT) in a win at Cleveland.
That's the kind of production that could net the Redskins more future value should they attempt to trade Cousins, who has now shown that he's capable of performing in the NFL.
DANGER Russell Wilson keeps improving for the Seattle Seahawks. The rookie quarterback played a big part (14-for-23, 205 YDS, 1 TD; 92 YDS, 3 TD, 9 carries) in Seattle's blowout win over the Bills in Toronto Sunday.
In his last six games, Wilson has thrown 11 touchdown passes and just one interception, but Sunday's three rushing touchdowns were his first on the ground all season.
LYNCH MOB Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch tore it up (113 YDS, 1 TD, 10 carries) against the Bills too, the second straight game in which he's surpassed 100 yards rushing with fewer than a dozen carries.
Lynch sits second in the league with 1379 rushing yards, but he's been largely overshadowed by Peterson, who leads by 433 yards.
FINER NINER After years of mediocre production with Alex Smith at quarterback, 49ers WR Michael Crabtree (7 REC, 107 YDS, 2 TD at New England) appears to be a more favourable target for QB Colin Kaepernick. In the last three weeks, Crabtree has 23 catches for 301 yards and a pair of scores, the most productive three-game stretch in his four-year NFL career.
COLTS RUNNER Colts RB Vick Ballard had the first 100-yard rushing game of his career (105 YDS, 18 carries) in Indianapolis' loss at Houston and has gained 209 yards from scrimmage over the last two weeks as he has turned into the Colts' most consistent backfield option.
BIG TEXAN Texans WR Andre Johnson had another productive game (11 REC, 151 YDS, 1 TD) against Indianapolis, giving him 1360 receiving yards for the season, 215 yards back of his career high, 1575, set in 2008.
Johnson has just four touchdowns on the season, so his ratio of yardage-to-touchdowns, 340:1, is among the worst for wide receivers. Miami's Brian Hartline (1002:1) and Davone Bess (778:1), the Jets' Jeremy Kerley (768 YDS, 2 TD = 364:1), Carolina's Steve Smith (1056 YDS, 3 TD = 352:1) and Philadelphia's DeSean Jackson (700 YDS, 2 TD = 350:1) are the only wideouts with at least 600 yards receiving with a worse yardage-to-touchdown ratio than Johnson.
MORE MORENO Broncos RB Knowshon Moreno continued his strong play (118 YDS, 1 TD, 22 carries) at Baltimore, giving him 487 yards from scrimmage in the last four weeks, good enough to rank ninth among all running backs in that span. Not bad for a guy who was an afterthought until Willis McGahee was injured.
DECKED OUT Broncos WR Eric Decker delivered another productive (8 REC, 133 YDS, 1 TD) game at Baltimore. Decker now has 72 catches for 923 yards and nine touchdowns as the Broncos' second wide receiver option, behind Demaryius Thomas.
The only other team to have a second wide receiver with more production would be Atlanta, where Julio Jones has 69 catches for 1071 yards and nine scores.
TURN SPILLER LOOSE Bills RB C.J. Spiller (103 YDS, 1 TD, 17 carries) had his second-most carries in a game this season and, predictably, finished with more than 100 yards. After 161 carries this season, Spiller is averaging 6.50 yards per carry. Adrian Peterson (6.3) is the only other qualified back averaging more than 5.2 yards per carry, yet he doesn't have to ask for more touches, he just gets them.
RAVEN USAGE Ravens RB Ray Rice has been used less this season, which seems an odd choice for a 25-year-old in the prime of his career. Rice has averaged 20.3 touches per game in 2012, down from 23.0 per game last season and 23.1 per game in 2010.
Even with a new offensive co-ordinator, Rice had just 15 touches (12 carries, three catches) against Denver, the fourth time this season he had 15 or fewer touches in a game.
Ravens TE Dennis Pitta (7 REC, 125 YDS, 2 TD) had his best game as a pro and has delivered a strong season, ranking sixth among tight ends in total fantasy points.
LONG AND SHORTS The Jaguars got WR Cecil Shorts (6 REC, 101 YDS) back in the lineup against Miami and it was the fourth time in his last seven games that Shorts went over 100 yards receiving. The more highly-touted Justin Blackmon, a rookie first-round pick, also had a strong game (6 REC, 93 YDS), posting his second-best yardage total in a game this season.
SAINT ALIVE The unpredictability of the New Orleans Saints backfield took another turn on Sunday when Mark Ingram had his most productive game (90 YDS, 1 TD, 14 carries) as a pro. That's not the loftiest total, especially for a 2011 first-round pick, but putting those numbers up against Tampa Bay's top-rated run defence might offer some reason for optimism for Ingram's future.
BACK IN THE SPOTLIGHT Relegated to a time-share or second-string role for most of the season, Panthers RB DeAngelo Williams (144 yards, 1 TD, 24 touches) has been taking advantage of the opportunity presented with Jonathan Stewart hurt, accruing 256 yards from scrimmage the last couple weeks.
RUNNING RAIDERS Maybe it just took a matchup against Kansas City to get the Raiders on track. Running backs Darren McFadden, (149 YDS, 34 touches) and Mike Goodson (103 YDS, 14 touches) both went over 100 yards from scrimmage.
BIG D After gaining 140 yards from scrimmage in the season opener, it looked like a breakout season was coming for second-year Cowboys RB DeMarco Murray, but injuries intervened. He's been decent when healthy, but Sunday's effort (112 YDS, 18 touches) against Pittsburgh was his best yardage total since Week One against the Giants. That it came against a Pittsburgh defence that doesn't give up yards easily is a promising sign for the Cowboys as they push for a playoff spot.
LET'S BE FRANK 49ers RB Frank Gore isn't likely to ever duplicate his second season, when he amassed 1695 rushing yards, but after Sunday night's production (117 YDS, 23 touches) against New England, there is a pretty good chance for Gore, who has 1118 rushing yards this season, to surpass his second-best rushing season, last year's 1210 rushing yards.
PATRIOTS RUNNING Patriots RB Stevan Ridley had scored a touchdown in six straight games before Sunday night's loss to San Francisco, a game during which he struggled (23 YDS, 9 carries, 1 lost fumble), leaving the Pats to give more touches to Danny Woodhead (84 YDS, 2 TD, 17 touches) who had the second two-touchdown game of his career.
PATRIOTS PASSING While he's been generally underwhelming as a deep threat this season, Patriots WR Brandon Lloyd had a monster game (10 REC, 190 YDS) Sunday night against San Francisco, giving him 17 catches for 279 yards in the last two weeks. Lloyd may not have been such a prominent part of the game plan if the Patriots hadn't fallen so far behind, but his production the last couple weeks could be an indication that he has some trust built up with QB Tom Brady.
DEFENCE J.J. Watt, DE, Houston (10 tackles, 3 sacks, 1 FF) Chad Greenway, OLB, Minnesota (14 tackles, 1 sack, 1 FR) Brandon Graham, DE, Philadelphia (6 tackles, 2.5 sacks, 1 FF) Earl Thomas, FS, Seattle (5 tackles, 57 YD INT TD) Chris Clemons, DE, Seattle (5 tackles, 2.5 sacks, 1 FF) Rashad Johnson, SS, Arizona (3 tackles, 53 YD INT TD) Wallace Gilberry, DE, Cincinnati (2 tackles, 1 sack, 25 YD FR TD) Rob Jackson, OLB, Washington (6 tackles, 1 sack, 1 INT, 1 FF) Greg Hardy, DE, Carolina (5 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 FF) Josh Bynes, ILB, Baltimore (13 tackles)

Pretty good
"Upon the bag's arrival, I found myself not as in love with it as I'd hoped to be. I let it sit there in it's shipping box for two weeks, wondering what I should do with it, when one night, as I was getting ready to go on a date, I realized I had absolutely no purse to go with the outfit I had chosen. That's when I remembered the tote I had purchased in the rose-gold variety. It went great with both my copper-detailed jeans and my studded combat boots, two items I'd assumed would be very hard to bring together. Long story short: so glad I kept it. Plus, it holds everything you will need for a day or night out, and the inside lining is beautiful!"

Cheap looking
"This purse is way more expensive than it looks. The studs that comprise the skull are rusty looking and a genuinely unappealling shade of gold. The material is chintzy. The liner is cool and the color is nice, but totally not worth the price."

So much fun
"I LOVE this purse. I get funny looks when i carry it to church but that makes me love it even more. I bought the black one and it is everything I was hoping for. Its well made, fun but still has more then enough room to carry everything I need and want plus more. I love Betsey Johnson and she didnt fail with this product. MUST HAVE! Take it from this 25 yr old, its perfect!"
