Put the Wind Away
"Mommy, put the wind away," he whispered, hugging me sleepily. I told him I had put the wind away, so he could relax now. He smiled and turned over, eyes already closed.
The end.
Now, in the hands of another, more gifted blogger, that tale could've been extended for a full post, and there would have been pictures and possibly poetry, and of course, ruminations on the Wonder of How Kids Think. I can honestly see it now, and it would have been a thing of beauty. Seriously.
You're here with me, however, and therefore, my first thought when he said this to me was, "Goddammit, why do I not have an effing band?" Because you see, people, if I had a band, then I would likely be hard at work on my new album. And maybe the album wouldn't have been coming together as well as we'd hoped, and the songs weren't flowing, or whatever, but then! After this touching moment, I'd have a flash of inspiration, and breathlessly rush to the recording studio, finding Tony, our bassist, and Jeff, our moody yet brilliant guitarist.
I'd tell them what happened, and together, we'd decide that "Put the Wind Away" would make a great song (sample lyric: "Don't tell me it's all gonna be okay/That's like trying to put the wind away..."). It would ultimately turn out to be the galvanizing force that pushed us to complete our album (which would, naturally, be called "Put the Wind Away"). I would craft an enigmatic album cover, fraught with Some Deeper Meaning, But Really, Pink Apples in Soft Focus, and "Put the Wind Away" would turn out to be THE break-up song of the year, and net us our first platinum record.
And then! I'd be making my rounds on the talk show circuit while the rest of the band glowered backstage, all cold there in my shadow with no sunlight on their faces and content to let me shine (for that's their way). David Letterman would ask me, "So, how did you come up with the name of your album?," and I'd throw my head back, laugh, and casually say, "Oh, Dave! It's the funniest story; you see, my son woke up in the middle of the night, and..." BECAUSE YOU ALL HAVE READ/SEEN INTERVIEWS WITH MUSICIANS JUST LIKE THAT.
Why?! Why do I not have a band? (Or, you know, any discernible musical talent?)

we are not even going to talk about the first hit single off the album.."distant healings"
hahaha. - 9:02 AM
- Rhiannon said...
But, really, you would have just heard about the "Put the wind away" thing from your nanny. Because you'd be too busy out on the road to tend to your children.
- Stefanie said...
But if you had a band, you maybe wouldn't have a blog, and we wouldn't have gotten that lovely and amusing story. See? Fair tradeoff.
- SLynnRo said...
Thank you for NOT being the kind of blogger who can turn that into a pages long touching post about your son's trust in you and the great responsibility you feel to him. Because then we probably wouldn't be friends.
- rebcram said...
Ha! Just: HAAAAAA.
Do you remember that scene in Almost Famous where Jason Lee yells at the other guy and says "We agreed! I'm the front man, and you're the guitarist with mystique!" I love that. And yet am not 100% sure how to relate it to your story, other than the fact that both involve bands.
And please about the "I have no musical talent" thing. I know better. HOLLA. - 11:55 AM
- Amy said...
I'm glad to read a blogger that has other aspirations besides turning every breath their child takes into a Moment Of Healing Beauty.
- Moose said...
After watching Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, I desperately want to be the drummer for a band called Where's Fluffy. We will be mysterious! Full of cunning and guile! And talent!
So far, no band, no mystery, no talent. Bummer. - 12:43 PM
- Angella said...
I think I'm going to use the phrase "Put the wind away" the next time Matthew passes gas ;)
- Kerri Anne said...
This? This is why I love you. Also: those lyrics are pretty awesome. Also: American Idol last night was PAINFUL.
- MommyTime said...
This is my first comment here, and so I'm going to be all fawning and obsequious and say that this post is snortin' funny. Thank you for the great laugh.
And it's a brilliant idea for a song. - 2:01 PM
- TUWABVB said...
I can't believe that I'm the one without a child and my first thought was wind=fart. Apparently, I need to grow up just a tad.
- auntie said...
that song? sounds AWESOME. you really should figure out a way to put the album together.
- skiplovey said...
See 100 other bloggers would have some really sentimental post about the musings of their child, which c'mon I think we've all read before, but this, FUNNY STUFF.
- Haley-O said...
I would totally buy an album called "Put the Wind Away." It also makes a really good blog post title....
Congrats on your success at fashion week. Off to check out your Tim Gunn interview (LOVE!) - 8:35 PM
- Camels & Chocolate said...
Can I play the triangle? I got mad skillz, yo.
- heartatpreschool said...
With song ideas like that, you don't need actual musical talent. As is proven by American Idol periodically...
- caleal said...
I think I like the band story better than a touching drawn out kid story.
I mean, don't get me wrong, the story is a cute one. But being succinct with it leaves room for that crazy imagination. - 8:19 PM
- Kristabella said...
This was phenomenal. Who wants to hear deep posts about children when we can hear about your band? Metalia and the Band. AWESOME!
Can I be your tour manager? I'm an awesome event planner! Also, I can dub as a publicist from my many years in public relations! - 12:58 PM
- your wishcake. said...
You are seriously the cutest thing ever. I love the way your mind works. Seriously.
PS: The cover art is priceless. LOVE IT! - 6:25 PM

Couch makes right call, says Samples
After a long night of thunder, lightning and rain, things quieted down a bit early Wednesday morning. "There were no storm warnings from the National Weather Station," said Superintendent Reecia Samples, "so school resumed at the usual time."
After all buses had unloaded the children a hard rain fell for about two and a half hours. That's all it took. The streams, creeks and rivers had more water than they could handle and their banks began to overflow.
A special City Council Meeting was held Monday evening with the 2nd Reading of Ordinance #2013-006, which set the new fire protection boundaries.
Well known radio personality Earl Owens has joined the Manchester Enterprise staff as a news reporter. Glenn Gray, vice-president of Nolan Group Media made the announcement Monday morning.

Family and friends of 33-year-old Mark Radford said goodbye after he was laid to rest at Manchester Memorial Gardens Monday.
He passed away Thursday at Manchester Memorial Hospital of complications from a heart condition, according to friends of the family.
Roxanne Smith, manager of Speedway, passed away Monday at the ST. Joseph Hospital in London.
Smith had been with the company for 20 years, spending the last 9 years here in Manchester, according to a source.

Most drivers face a flat tire at least a few times in their lives. There's more than one way to fix a flat.
Most drivers face a flat at least a few times in their lives. There never seems to be a convenient time to get a flat tire. Whatever the cause, a flat tire can result in frustrating delays or leave you stranded if you're not properly prepared. Fixing your flat with tire sealant is a quick and easy way to get moving again fast. Many commercial products are available that are designed to fix your flat tire and get you to your final destination by simply pressing a button.
A 1-Step system is the safest and quickest way to get back on the road. They are based on the same technology as many of the Tire Repair Kits included in new vehicles in place of spare tires.
The best 1-Step systems seal punctures and provide 100% inflation in around 7 minutes. At the push of a single button the tire sealant and air are sent into the flat tire, repairing and reinflating the tire in one simple step. No need to wait for a tow or resort to using a tire jack and heavy tools.Instructions
1. Inspect your tire tread for puncturing objects and remove any objects, if possible.2. Unscrew the cap from the flat tire's air stem. The cap will twist off counterclockwise.3. Screw the injection tube that is included with your tire sealant to the nozzle of the canister. This will attach with a clockwise motion.4. Plug the inflator into a 12 volt accessory power outlet. Do not run vehicle while inflator is operating. 5. Attach (black) air hose to sealant cartridge nozzle, located at the top of the sealant cartridge. Close the locking lever. 6. Push the yellow power "ON" button to turn on the system. Wait 6 minutes (in temperatures below 32°F wait 12 minutes). Some sealant may remain in the hose. Turn system off and check tire pressure. If additional air is needed, follow "Inflate a Tire" instructions. Disconnect the system once correct tire pressure has been achieved.
Before you have the tire serviced, let the garage personnel know that sealant was used to fix the flat tire.
Tire sealants are designed to provide a temporary fix and are not intended as a permanent repair. Replace your tire or have it professionally patched to ensure future safety. Don't forget to purchase a replacement canister in case you get a future flat tire.

The Holocaust and the Marginalization of Collective Memories (+)
Wednesday, May 09, 2012
Chicago Campus
Guest Speaker: Danny M. Cohen, Ph. D.
School of Education and Social Policy, Northwestern UniversityThe Nazi regime banned abortion, attempted to cure homosexuality, and sterilized almost all Germans of part-African descent. Yet, our mainstream narratives of the Holocaust exclude those histories. Some of the same people targeted under Nazism -- including people with mental disabilities, women, people of African or Roma descent, gay and lesbian people -- continue to suffer discrimination and violence today. And so we must ask: Does the suppression of collective traumatic memories lead to a perpetual exclusion of specific social groups?

Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Holiday and get something off my chest (as you all probably know Im not a big blogger! But I do read my website and myspace page when I have time, and thank you for all the kind words and shout outs!).
I headed to Europe last Friday for a small tour and then am most likely going back to the Middle East to entertain our troops for the holidays (again!) I'd be lying if I didn't mention its kind of bittersweet due to the fact that I petitioned the judge (Alvin T. Wong, Dekalb County, Georgia) in my "Waffle House" case so that the 80 hours of community service he sentenced me to would be served by my holiday trip to entertain our troops (for my 3rd Christmas and 4th time!). Apparently he thinks it's more important that I do something else rather than sing, shake hands, take pictures and spend time with the men and women who put themselves in harms way to protect the very freedoms he and all of us live by. I really take it as a slap in the face, and really have trouble thinking of a better way to "serve the community," especially at Christmas time when it's obviously the hardest time for soldiers to be away from their families and home (and I try not to think about it when Im there, but its a little freaky being in the middle of a war zone!). Its not that I dont take responsibility for my actions, because I do, and I have, in more ways than one. The case got so much press (a lot of it very silly press) that I decided before I even went to court that I would have a fundraiser at a local Georgia Waffle House and donate the money to a local Dekalb County homeless shelter that helps families get back on their feet (we raised close to 20 thousand dollars for that shelter).
I figured I would use the opportunity to turn a negative into a positive (The judge didn't seem to care to much about that either, but whatever, that wasn't about anything other than using the media BACK to do some good!). Im sure a lot of you will comment on this and in a weird way it will make me feel a little better, but either way this judge will leave a bad taste of ignorance in my mouth, but I dont let even the DEVIL get me down so, WHATEVA!! Well, thats my rant, I hope Im doing the right thing by sharing my feelings (I'm usually better at it on a song!!). So in ending I would just like to wish all of you, my friends, a happy holiday season. Thank you for all your support, I truly appreciate each and every one of you! God Bless!
Your Friend,
Kid Rock
(p.s., below is the order denying my petition to the court, if anyones interested, and to be fair)


text: Whether you are shopping for a Mother's Day gift or a birthday gift for your sweetheart, jewelry is a safe bet. However, there is much to consider when buying jewelry. Everything from style to quality is an important factor when considering a jewelry purchase. First you should consider what type of jewelry you would like to purchase. Think about the person you are shopping for, what type of jewelry do they normally wear? Are they in need of any particular pieces like a nice pair of earrings or a watch? Keep in mind that some people prefer white gold to yellow; others prefer silver, while others only wear platinum. Jewels come in all sorts of shapes and sizes as well. Diamonds are a popular jewel, but colored diamonds are becoming more popular with celebrities sporting pink and yellow diamonds regularly. Rings should be reserved for declarations of commitment. If you are not planning on taking your relationship to the next level, it probably is not a good idea to buy your girl friend or boy friend a ring. It might send the wrong message.

In December 2012, Act 1 was mostly upheld, but after hearing new arguments from both sides, State District Judge R. Michael Caldwell, of the 19th Judicial District Court in Baton Rouge, reversed himself just last week and ruled the tenure law unconstitutional.
So now school boards are having to turn in two plans. Their normal pay plans as they were before and their new ones that would fall under Act 1 if it is re-ruled constitutional.
"As you know and heard during your recent conference and convention, things continue to change coming out of Baton Rouge," said Supervisor of Business Dr. Doug Chance Monday night.
Superintendent John Bourque reiterated that this compensation model can be amended at any time, like prior to the start of the new school year, if things change once again or the courts rule against it.
So Acadia Parish has decided to submit two plans, one to satisfy Act 1 and the other in case it all reverts back to normal.
"We have to submit a plan, so I move we submit this plan," said board member Gene Daigle.
The March 5 decision by Judge Caldwell could also now throw a wrench into sweeping new teacher evaluations, which are under way in public schools for the first time and seek to decipher what teachers are ineffective, effective and highly effective. The teachers that are ranked ineffective would not be eligible for supplemental pay under the law.
Thus the need for compensation model changes for Acadia Parish, which has paid stipends to all of its teachers several times per year thanks to a sales tax passed years ago.
The changes adopted to be submitted to Baton Rouge Monday night hit six main points. They were:
1. Monday's action supersedes and replaces any previous action with regard to Act 1 compensation or procedures either stated, implied or inferred.
2. Monday's action reflects only the 2013-14 session, from July 1, 2013, through June 30, 2014.
3. The compensation noted is contingent upon funds being available.
4. The compensation noted may be changed by the board through board actions.
5. Under the concept of keeping things the same, compensation for new and current employees will be determined by three things – the term "years of experience" will be replaced by the term "level" on former schedules; bachelor's degree holders will be aligned to the schedule for Category I employees and holders of degrees above the bachelor's level will be aligned to the Category II employees; and employee compensation will be aligned to the matrix represented by "level" and "compensation" on the applicable schedule.
6. The traditional Acadia Parish schools pay cycle will be maintained, i.e., monthly as well as in December, January and June for certificated personnel and in November for support staff.
Under the new plan teachers' stipends would go as follows:
- All teachers that are rated ineffective will not be eligible for any stipend.
- Teachers rated effective or highly effective will receive stipends. The school board has made the stipends contingent on two factors, effectiveness and demand. Acadia Parish, under federal law, is designated a demand area for teachers, thus 50 percent of the requirements are already met for teachers.
- January's supplement has been calculated into the base compensation model, leaving only two additional supplements, December and June.
- The $1,400 reward compensations will be given to all effective and highly effective teachers, $700 each time.
- Highly effective teachers will be eligible for an additional $250 each stipend period beginning in 2014. The school board, for now, has decided to reward teachers for two consecutive semesters of rating highly effective with an additional $500.
- Furthermore, what was considered step increases in base pay will now be considered base-building compensation stipends, meaning ineffective teachers will not be eligible for these either.
The measure passed by a 6-1 vote, with board member Lynn Shamsie being the lone nay, saying he could not support anything affiliated with moves made in Baton Rouge.
Also at Monday night's meeting, the Acadia Parish School Board approved the following measures, with board member John Suire absent from the meeting.
- Making May 27 an in-service day to better prepare teachers for the new school year's changes by a 7-0 vote.
- Advertising for bids for school buses by a 7-0 vote.
- Advertising for bids for a used refrigerated truck for food service by a 7-0 vote.
- Approving the request from Egan Elementary for fourth grade science students to travel to Moody Gardens in Galveston, Texas, on April 25 by a 7-0 vote.
- Approving the request from Iota High for its physics and calculus students to travel to NASA Space Center in Houston, Texas, on May 10 by a 7-0 vote.
- Approving the Personnel, Insurance and Curriculum Committee's recommendation to advertise for bids for property insurance coverage for one year by a 7-0 vote.
- Approving the Budget and Finance Committee's recommendation regarding the resolution and property lease pursuant to the Acadia Parish Library as requested by the Acadia Parish Police Jury and Acadia Parish Library Board by a 7-0 vote.
- Approving the Budget and Finance Committee's recommendation regarding mid-year budget revisions by a 7-0 vote.
- Approving the Budget and Finance Committee's recommendation regarding the proposed calendar for the 2013-14 budget by a 7-0 vote.
- Approving the Budget and Finance Committee's recommendation regarding the approval of the 2013-14 Head Start Continuation Application. The application's recommendation needed additional changes as the automatic budget cuts that occurred in Washington could mean an approximate 5 percent decrease in funding for the Head Start program as well by a 7-0 vote.
- Approving the June 2013 contract renewals of 20 individuals at the board's central office as well as principals and assistant principals. They were Charles Barbier, Wendy Thibodeaux, Antoinette Pete, Melanie Venable, Harvey Ward, Gibson Miller, Sondra Myers, Kimberly Cummins, Bryan Alleman, Carol Tall, Samuel Babineaux, Dana Leger, Marie Janise, Steve Duplechin, Paul DeRousselle, Paula Cutrer, Ellan Baggett, Tammy Meche, Marie Broussard and Christy Higginbotham. The contract renewals were approved by a 6-0 vote with board member James Higginbotham abstaining.
The board also set March 20 as its next committee meetings date and April 8 as its next general board meeting, as the first Monday of April, April 1, falls during spring break time.

Miami Heat Wins in Overtime
Three Charged for Enslaving Mother and Daughter
Gomez, Markey Spar In Final Debate
MAYWOOD, Calif. An intensive hunt for a fugitive couple wanted in connection with the killing of their 2-year-old daughter in Mississippi is underway in Maywood and surrounding cities after the pair was allegedly spotted in the area selling cars, DVDs and puppies. Janet and Ramon Barreto were seen as recently as last weekend in Maywood and other Southeast L.A. County cities selling items and living out of a car and friends' homes, said Tony Burke of the U.S. Marshals Service.

The world did not end on 12/21, so we at Tribecca are happily celebrating the end of the year with friends, family and clients. Wishing everyone a joyous conclusion to 2012!
The popular mobile photo sharing app Instagram has just released its first web-based instagram profile system for its users. As instagram fanatics, we at Tribecca are excited about the possibilities for sharing our profile and photos online. This new release has caused some concerns over privacy, as profiles are now very accessible across the web. The new profiles look very similar to Facebook's timeline feature [not a huge shocker as Facebook now owns them]. You can access anyone's public profile by typing http://instagram.com/USERNAME (more…)
Tribecca Designs was recently recognized at the 38th Annual Jasper awards, winning two, gold-level awards for the best print material brochure under $8,000 and the best special purpose print material for a symposium/seminar or sales meeting. This is the second consecutive year for our studio be recognized at the JASPERS.
The Little Red School House needed an impressive brochure/folder for the last phase of their capital campaign. Using the architect's renderings, the brochure quickly summarizes the progress that has been made and the features that the new section of the school will have, all in a flexible piece that can be customized to each donor. More about this piece >
Highline Capital Management asked us to create a reminder card for investors who registered early for their Investor Webcast. The folded card included a Starbucks gift card as a thank you for registering early. Once the gift card was removed from its die-cut slot inside, a surprise reminder to tune into the live webcast was revealed below. See more Highline work >

"You root for them to be the MVP -- the Most Valuable Puppy -- of the show," she said.
The cast of fuzzy beasties, all between 8 and 12 weeks old, comes from shelters across the country, Toporoff said. Some have even come from Puerto Rico.
All the puppies, kittens, hamsters and Meep the bird are adoptable. Animal Planet normally films the frolicking in October in order to edit the show by Super Bowl Sunday, so many of the animals are already adopted by airtime.
"We have a pretty incredible track record," helping PetFinder.com find adopters for the puppies, Toporoff said. "For this year, all but four have already been adopted."
A representative from the Humane Society of the United States is present during filming to make sure the animals are safe. Breaks for water and cuddling are mandatory, and puppies are never on camera for more than 20 minutes at a time.
The casting of Puppy Bowl is all about the cuteness factor.
"These are desirable puppies," Toporoff said. "They're camera ready!"
The cheerleaders, too, go through a casting process. Last year, piglet cheerleaders hammed it up during the show. This year, the cheerleaders are hedgehogs.
Toporoff points out that if you want to adopt a hedgehog you'd better check with your state, because these unusual pets are not legal to own in all parts of the country.
Back in the Puppy Bowl studio, it's a pet-lover's dream come true.

TOMPKINS COUNTY, N.Y. -- Former members of Cornell University's Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity were called to the stand in the hazing trial of three pledges.
Max Haskin, Benn Mann and Edward Williams have been charged with hazing in the death of George Desdunes. The 19-year-old died in February of 2011 in the library of the frat
Police say Desdunes let pledges at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity tie him up and force him to drink alcohol. The pledges then allegedly asked Desdunes and another frat brother trivia questions and punished wrong answers by making them drink alcohol and do exercises.
Defense attorneys say that Desdunes was out drinking before the mock kidnapping took place.
Closing arguments are scheduled for Thursday.

2 colour foil block on paper, edition of 15 Signed by the artist
Turner prize winning English artist Damien Hirst first gained prominence as a key member of the Young British Artist movement of the 1990s amongst notable figures such as Tracy Emin, Marc Quinn, Rachel Whiteread and Gavin Turk. His prints, paintings and sculptures often include skulls, sharks and butterflies, and relentlessly interrogate the boundaries between art, science, the media and popular culture.
Damien Hirst is best known for artworks such as The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living, a tiger shark in a glass tank of formaldehyde and Pharmacy, a life-size recreation of a chemist's shop. Other well known works include Away from the Flock, God, The Virgin Mother, Painting by Numbers, Faithless, For the Love of God and The Souls butterfly colourways as well as his Spot and Spin prints.
Constantly dynamic, Damien Hirst's work takes diverse forms, from the aesthetically pleasing spill and spot paintings to controversial Butcher Shop series in which dead sheep, shark and cows are preserved and displayed in glass cases. It was this innovative creativity that famously caught the attention of collector Charles Saatchi. Damien Hirst has been praised in recognition of his celebrity and the way this has galvanised interest in the arts, raising the profile of British art.
Born in Bristol Damien Hirst grew up in Leeds and studied at Goldsmiths College, London. Most notable amongst the exhibitions he curated whilst at college was Freeze in 1988, as this show launched the careers of many successful young British artists, including his own. Over a decade later, Damien Hirst retains all of the notoriety demonstrated at early shows. In June 2007, Beyond Belief, an exhibition of Damien Hirst's work, opened at the White Cube gallery in London. The centre-piece, titled For the Love of God, was a human skull recreated in platinum and adorned with 8,601 diamonds weighing a total of 1,106.18 carats. Approximately £15,000,000 worth of diamonds were used and it was modelled on an 18th century skull with the only surviving human part of the original being the teeth.
In September 2008 Damien Hirst took an unprecedented move for a living artist by selling a complete show Beautiful Inside My Head Forever at Sotheby's. The auction exceeded all predictions, raising £111 million and breaking the record for a one-artist auction as well as Damien Hirst's own record with £10.3 million for The Golden Calf, an animal with 18-carat gold horns and hooves, preserved in formaldehyde. Damien Hirst is reputed to be the richest living artist to date with Hirst's wealth valued at £215m in the 2010 Sunday Times Rich List.
Damien Hirst's work can be found in several important collections worldwide, including Tate and British Council, London, MoMA, New York, Hirshorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington DC, National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh, Broad Art Foundation; Centraal Museum, Utrecht, Netherlands; Neue Galerie Graz, Austria and State Museum of Berlin.

'I Used To Shrink In The Presence of Other Beautiful Women' Gabrielle Union speaks transparently during Essence's BWIH Luncheon
[ED. NOTE: Lovely and talented actress Gabrielle Union gave a heartfelt, revealing and inspirational speech at Essence Magazine's Annual Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon about self-esteem and the importance of sisterhood among Black women recently. Online magazine Madame Noire ran a snippet of her speech.]
By Jazmine Denise Rogers
madame noire
When most people look at beautiful Black women in Hollywood, they don't always see flawed individuals who sometimes feel scared and even a little self-concious like we do. It sometimes becomes difficult to fathom that someone so talented, so exquisite, so fierce could possibly be battling with self-esteem issues or feeling a little less than adequate.
During Essence's Black Women In Hollywood Luncheon at the Beverly Hills Hotel, actress Gabrielle Union delivered a captivatingly powerful speech that served as a reminder that behind those images are real people. She fearlessly tackled common issues that still plague the entertainment industry today and spoke boldly against them. Check out an excerpt of her speech below:
"We live in a town that rewards pretending. I had been pretending to be fierce and fearless for a very long time. I was a victim masquerading as a survivor. I stayed when I should have run. I was quiet when I should have spoken up. I turned a blind eye to injustice instead of having the courage to stand up for what's right. I used to shrink in the presence of other dope beautiful women. I used to revel in gossip and rumors, and I lived for the negativity inflicted upon my sister actresses or anyone who I felt whose shine diminished my own.
I took joy in people's pain and I tap-danced on their misery. I chased and accepted a love and a marriage that wasn't worthy of a date. I lived to hear 'Hey, if we'll go Black, it'll totally be you,' as if the routine exclusion of women of color in the casting process is okay, as long as I'm considered.
It's easy to pretend 'to be fierce and fearless because living your truth takes real courage. Real fearless and fierce women admit mistakes and they work to correct them. We stand up and we use our voices for things other than self promotion. We don't stand by and let racism and sexism and homophobia run rapid on our watch. Real fearless and fierce women complement other women and we recognize and embrace that their shine in no way diminishes our light and that it actually makes our light shine brighter.
So many of us in this room are sisters. We don't always get to see each other and its good to see you here today. Women who we've laughed with, cried with, and struggled with, thank you for not turning your back on me, thank you for not tap dancing on my misery, even when I wasn't always returning the favor."

Interesting way of approaching style icons! I think Alexis Bledel is to me what Judy Garland is to you: I like her style as Rory on Gilmore Girls and as Lena in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants much more than what she wears in real life.

I think it's really neat that you use fictional characters as style icons. Personally I tend to think of fictional character as role models. I have on occasion gone, "Oh, Buffy would have totally done this."

I love the Wizard of Oz. I have a pair of red shoes and everytime I wear them I think of this film.
- December 18, 2008 at 1:05 AM
- Jana said...
Judy Garland doesn't seem that short! It's hard to imagine that I'm nearly a foot taller than her!
On a tangent: Do you associate "The Wizard of Oz" with Christmas? Today I was listening to my Il Divo Christmas CD and one of the songs on the album is "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". I thought it strange but perhaps I'm the only one, given the fact that you posted this so close to Christmas. Hmm . . . - December 18, 2008 at 2:03 AM

Love The Wizard of Oz...I wrote a dissertation on it...I know pretty everything about the movie(s), books, etc.! Love the Judy's version even if she looks kind of freaky as Dorothy, who should be meant to be a 8/10 years old girl...!

Judy was only 4'11"? Wow, you learn something new every day. At exactly 5 feet tall I'm always interested to learn of glamorous and talented women who managed to rock an outfit without the extra inches. :)

Oh my gosh! Cath and I grew up watching Wizard of Oz and Meet Me in St. Louis- we were absolutely in love with Judy and all of her characters. When we first watched Meet Me, we tried to emulate her gorgeous straight hair and puffy bangs- to deflated results. Love it!

Are breast implants absolutely safe?
Category: Health Written by Courier Newsroom

Carol Ciancutti-Leyva remains relentless in raising this question to the masses: are silicone/saline breast implants absolutely safe? She dives deep into that very subject in a documentary aptly titled, "Absolutely Safe."
Ciancutti-Leyva directed and produced the film. She spent a decade documenting the issue and believes, as her website states, doctors should be required by law to inform their patients about the proven risks.

Highmark: Health a priority for minorities
Category: Health Written by Rebecca Nuttall - Courier Staff Writer
The Highmark Foundation recently released the results of their $100 million 5-year Healthy High Five initiative. Among the report's many findings, announced at the August Wilson Center for African American Culture on March 22, was the revelation that minority parents were more concerned with health than the general population surveyed throughout the initiative.
"We have this knowledge, but we have to make it actionable," said Yvonne Cook, president of the Highmark Foundation. "We often think that people just aren't that interested in these subjects, but as it turns out, our minority parents are extremely interested. There's really an interest in, how do I get information for my child."
The Healthy High Five initiative looked at children's health in five areas: nutrition, physical activity, bullying prevention, self-esteem, and grieving. Through a series of programs, Highmark was able to increase parent awareness in these key areas by 35 percent.

The Final Days of Traditional Beliefs? - Part Two
by Matthew Bauer
In my last article, I began explaining why I feel the traditional theories behind Chinese medicine are more at risk today than at any other time in the history of this medical system. I described three different groups of acupuncture supporters who are critical of the theories taught in most Chinese medicine training programs. I also mentioned that a fourth group - modern historians - represented another challenge of sorts to traditional theories. In this article, I will expand on why I feel the emerging consensus among historians of Chinese medicine should be cause for concern for the Chinese medicine community and compel us to pay more attention to questions regarding the roots of our beloved medical art.

Soon afterward, their successors, DNI Dennis Blair and CIA Director Leon Panetta, butted heads.
Because he led the intelligence community, Blair wanted control over who would be the chief spy in any given country, not necessarily relying on the CIA's station chief. He also wanted more say in covert operations. Panetta wasted no time letting the White House know he was not prepared to lose authority over either.
James Jones, then the national security adviser, mediated the dispute and ultimately decided the CIA would have a direct line to the West Wing on covert operations and retain control over choosing the top spy in each country.
It was the beginning of the end for Blair, who was later forced out.
Lee Hamilton, who was co-chairman of the 9/11 Commission, has often said the intelligence reform legislation was too "ambiguous," and as long as it remains that way, the DNI and CIA director will fight for jurisdiction and power.
Add to that burning fire the fuel of Brennan. If he gets the CIA job, a person who just spent the past four years in the White House as the President's most trusted aide on counter terrorism and intelligence matters will lead the agency. Now Brennan can walk into the Oval Office or directly call Obama any time of the day or night when there is a crisis. Often in Washington, the ultimate sign of power is one's proximity to the president.
Brennan will lose some of that when he moves across the river to Langley.
He will still report directly to Obama on covert operations, but otherwise his boss will be DNI James Clapper, ostensibly the president's principle intelligence adviser. But for the last four years, Washington insiders came to believe that Brennan was, for all intents and purposes, filling that role while in the West Wing.
"Brennan has sort of become the de facto senior intelligence adviser to the president," said Frances Fragos Townsend, who held a similar position to Brennan's at the White House during the Bush administration.
A former senior intelligence official who would only speak on the condition of anonymity said within the Obama administration, there is a different metric.
