Collingdale mom charged in heroin death of 11-month-old (With Video)
COLLINGDALE — Four months after an 11-month-old boy died from heroin intoxication, his 29-year-old, drug-addicted mother was charged Friday in his murder, authorities said.
According to his father, Niccolo Varner was born addicted to heroin, spent months in the hospital and was under the supervision of Children and Youth Services of Delaware County because his mother, Christine Rivero, "was using during the pregnancy," court documents state.
Back in July, Victor Varner told authorities he had gone to bed and didn't know anything was wrong until Rivero screamed and woke him, after she discovered their little Niccolo unresponsive.
"This child was given or consumed heroin, while his mother was outside doing heroin with her friend," Delaware County District Attorney Jack Whelan said Friday, announcing third-degree murder and related offenses against Rivero.
Whelan was "shocked" to learn earlier this week that the boy had died of "acute heroin intoxication," as the long-awaited Delaware County Medical Examiner's findings show.
At a press conference Friday morning, Whelan said he expected the M.E.'s report would reveal the baby had drowned or suffocated after striking his head in a fall and being submerged in bath water, at his home on July 14.
The medical examiner's findings document, released Tuesday to law enforcement, was made public Wednesday. According to the report, the 19-pound, 28-inch long boy "ingested" the heroin the night of July 14.
Investigators do not know how the baby obtained the ingested heroin, and exactly how much of the drug he ingested is pending a full report from the medical examiner, according to Whelan. Breastfeeding was ruled out as a means of ingestion.
Whelan said the heroin in the baby had been "recently consumed," determined by advanced studies sought by Delaware County Medical Examiner Dr. Fredric N. Hellman following the July 17 autopsy. Continued...
Based on interviews with the baby's father, "Mom has had a problem with heroin for many years," Whelan said, flanked at the press conference by Collingdale Police Chief Robert Adams, Delaware County Criminal Investigation Division Chief Joseph Ryan and Collingdale Detective Daniel Leicht.
Soon after the press conference, Rivero appeared before Senior Magisterial District Judge Horace Z. Davis. Her blue jeans and rose-colored top were wrinkled by a night in jail, as well as the restraints wrapping her wrists and ankles. She was in custody since Thursday night.
Before Davis remanded her to the county prison without bail, Rivero told the judge she understood all the charges: Third-degree murder, criminal homicide, involuntary manslaughter, aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of children. She is also facing a separate DUI offense in Sharon Hill
Calling hers a "bail offense," Whelan had planned to ask the judge for $1 million bail.
"No, ma'am," Rivero politely whispered when one reporter asked if she had any comment as she was being escorted out of the courtroom.
Another news outlet reported Rivero denied involvement in her son's death.
"I didn't do nothing to my child," the Channel 6 Action News website quotes her saying. When asked if she had heroin in the house, the website states she said "No, I didn't."
It was about 8:24 a.m. Sunday, July 15, when police and paramedics were called to the Lincoln Avenue apartment, Rivero's home for the last five years, on a report of a child in respiratory distress. Responding Collingdale Police Officer Brian Niedelman was asked to drive the ambulance to Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital, to allow the medics to work to revive the baby.
Sixteen minutes later, baby Niccolo Varner was pronounced dead at the hospital, at 8:40 a.m.
Rivero was detained at the time for possession of drug paraphernalia and questioned about the boy's death, but not charged. An older son, 5-year-old Luciano Varner, was temporarily removed from the residence by CYS. Continued...
Prior to Thursday, Rivero was interviewed twice early in the investigation, and gave conflicting information, according to the affidavit of probable cause for arrest, written by Delaware County Criminal Investigation Division Detective Robert Fuss and Collingdale Detective Daniel Leicht.
During a second interview the afternoon of July 15, Rivero told detectives she put sons Niccolo and Luciano into the tub for a bath, about 11 p.m. on July 14. Placing Niccolo between Luciano's legs, she told Luciano to watch his brother.
Rivero said she then went outside and snorted a bag of heroin, the affidavit states.
Initially, Rivero failed to mention to authorities anything about leaving the boys unattended in the tub.
"In fact, she stated she was with them the whole time … that Niccolo was in his tub safety seat," the affidavit states. Additionally, she never mentioned using heroin the night Niccolo died, only that she had used heroin a week prior to his death.
Rivero was still outside when 5-year-old Luciano came and got her, saying that Niccolo had fallen in the tub and struck his head," the probable-cause affidavit states.
Rivero reportedly removed Niccolo from the tub, dried him and after putting him in his playpen, decided to put him in a walker for 45 minutes before putting him to bed. The affidavit stated Rivero wanted to keep the child awake in case he suffered a concussion in the bathtub fall.
On the morning of July 15, Rivero reportedly found Niccolo in his playpen, unresponsive.
Though the boy's father and another adult were in the home at the time, Whelan said, Rivero "had control and custody" of Niccolo Varner at the time
Whelan said Friday that Rivero did not provide any additional information during another round of questioning, which lasted much of the day Thursday. Continued...
Attorney Sam S. Auslander is representing Victor Varner in a custody matter involving Luciano Varner.
Auslander said Thursday that Varner was given sole "physical custody" of Luciano on Aug. 24, after a series of court hearings prompted by his removal from the family home by CYS immediately following his brother's death.
"He's taken over parental responsibility of his son. His chief goal is the safety and welfare of his son … His son is doing extremely well under his father's care," Auslander said.
In recent weeks, Rivero was residing at her mother's home in Sharon Hill. Attempts to reach her mother by phone were unsuccessful.
Rivero's criminal history includes a conviction for receiving stolen property, for which she told Judge Davis she did 10 months in jail, and served probation.
A preliminary hearing is listed for Nov. 13.

Erased Memory Card Almost lost all my vacation photos!!!
Posted 22 June 2012 - 01:24 PM
I have an SD card reader that allows me to view all my camera photos on my iPad. Its great for times when you're on vacation and you want to pull a photo off your camera and e-mail it or post it to Facebook. So I plugged in the reader and my husband and I sat there checking out all the photos I had taken over the past three days. I "thought" I had checked a few duds off for deletion, and pressed the delete button... then watched in horror as my card was wiped clean!!!! When I tell you I was SO upset that I was on the verge of hysteria, I am not exaggerating.
Fortunately, I am married to a computer guy that stays much calmer in the face of digital disaster. He said that cameras don't actually delete anything, they just mark the photo space as available for rewriting. He immediately researched and downloaded software that was able to retrieve almost all the photos I had just deleted! It didn't work for the videos, which I was okay with since my videos are less then thrilling, but he managed to retrieve almost everything else! A few photos were damaged but fortunately it was only about 4 out of 1200.
The software wasn't too expensive - I think it was $40 - but really I would have paid anything to get my photos back. So I wanted to share in case anyone else ever has this problem. The most important thing is that you don't use the card again until the photos are retrieved. If you do, you will wind up overwriting that "free space" and your photos will truly be lost forever. Thank God I had extra SD cards with me that I could use while my main one was out of commission.
So now I'm telling everyone - learn from my stupidity! You can get your photos back if you ever need to!

Herriot, a native of Aberdeen, Scotland, is a jet-setting athlete who spends his time training for and participating in wheelchair and hand cycle races around the world. He is the current Scottish record-holder for all hand races from the 400 meter up to the marathon.
The hand cycle differs from a typical bicycle in that it is powered by a pedaling motion of the hands rather than the feet. It also sits much lower to the ground, allowing racers to rest comfortably, and it usually has three wheels in a tricycle-like formation for added stability.
Hand cycle races are a major event around the world each year; Rome, Ga., hosts a series of four-day hand cycle races known as the Clocktower Classic each April, and Herriot participates there regularly.
Of course, while he has always been an avid fitness fanatic, having once owned a gym, he never envisioned himself living, much less racing, without the use of his legs. Herriot broke his back and became paralyzed from the waist down after a motorcycle accident in 2008. He was 38 at the time.
"I never really got angry," he said. "I was never depressed. I was 38, I had already lived half of my life. I don't feel like I was deprived of anything."
He credits his racing career success to his fitness and his upbeat outlook on life. "I was positive and driven; it's just what you're dealt," he said.
He became interested in hand cycling after his injury as a way to keep up his fitness and find a new outlet for his seemingly boundless energy. His first race was a 10-kilometer (6.2 mile) race in his hometown of Aberdeen. He posted a time in that first race of 46 minutes; he can now breeze through a 10k in just 17 minutes, an average of 23 miles per hour.
Along the way, Herriot picked up corporate sponsors -- he is currently sponsored by Hollister -- and took an interest in racing for charity events and fundraisers. He is a patron of multiple nonprofit groups in the U.K., including AbSafe, a children and public safety awareness group in Aberdeen. He has next year a schedule mountain climb in the works -- in which he is hoisted up a mountain by a group of volunteers -- to raise funds for this very group. Scaling mountains, he said, is a slightly uncomfortable but rather rapid way to have a fundraiser.
Many of his other charitable activities have not been so short; being hauled up even the tallest mountain in the United Kingdom takes only a day or so. Herriot has also made a number of cross-country rides, including across the whole of the British isles and even an American tour, a trek from San Francisco to New York City that helped to raise money for a child stricken with cancer, and during which he averaged a staggering 89 miles per day.
Where many others might be sad, Herriot is grateful for the opportunities afforded him by his injury -- the ability to travel and see the world, to meet new people and to help others, to name a few. He has now reached international acclaim, having raced and trained in places such as Japan, Korea, South Africa, Australia, Barbados, Thailand, Norway, France and 32 of the United States, among many others. Although he admits that Norway and Hawaii were among the most beautiful places he had seen, Herriot still insists that his native Scotland is the most spectacular place on Earth. In addition to beauty, he has also been able to evaluate the wide variety in levels of accessibility -- or lack thereof -- for those in wheelchairs.
"Paris is terrible for wheelchairs," he said. He noted that many tropical locations, such as Barbados and Thailand, had little to no accessibility for him and were just "diabolical" to navigate.
Herriot has similarly found that the responses he gets from people, many of whom seem to shy away from him and his wheelchair, seem to vary from place to place as well.
"I like to be treated just like anyone else," he said, noting that it's a particular pet peeve when people offer to help him out of places he had already successfully navigated into on his own. "How do you think I got here in the first place?" he laughed. "There's a way to do everything."
Overall, though, Herriot is happy with what he does, though he admits he is slowing down his schedule somewhat as the years go by. "Up until 2008, I was doing about 40 races a year," he said. Now, he prefers to spend some of that time doing charity work and speaking to the public instead.
He is proud of his accomplishments -- his records and his race wins, including two victories in the Las Vegas marathon and reaching the top of the tallest mountain in Great Britain, and hopes that he can inspire others to look past their own hardships to make themselves proud as well.
"You have to do something," he said.

Can the Nike+ Fuelband be used around an ankle to better monitor activity?
I've been reading good reviews on the current model, however I have been curious as to why Nike chose the wrist over the leg/ankle. As a competitor bodybuilding, I'm beginning my cardio stage and would enjoy improved tracking of my workouts. This doesn't seem helpful when arm movement is measured, especially on leg workouts, etc. I was considering the extra large model, but it does not state the diameter size. Does anyone know if this can be used on an ankle? Thanks!

One Killed In Rest Area Crash
Todd Pittenger - Thu 03:16 PM 04/26/2012
One person is killed in a fiery crash at a rest area near Solomon on Interstate 70 Thursday afternoon.
Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper Ben Gardener says that a semi headed east exited into the Solomon Rest Area. The semi rear-ended a motor home that was parked at the rest area.
The motor home was knocked into a grassy area, where it caught fire. The semi jack-knifed, but remained upright.
According to the KHP, two people were sleeping in the motor home. They were 67-year-old Martin Bal and and 72-year-old Joan Bal, both from Pointblank, Texas. Martin was killed in the crash. Joan was hurt, and was transported to Salina Regional Health Center.
The driver of the semi is identified as 68-year-old John Boteler, from Shelby, Indiana. He was hurt, and was transported to Salina Regional Health Cneter.
I 70 was closed in both directions for a short period of time as the fire burned because there were reports that a pesticide chemical was possibly involved.
The crash happened at around 1:15 Thursday afternoon.

I seen the accident site and all I can say is may GOD bless all involved and a speedy recovery for those who Lived and hopefully the KHP can figure out what and who was at fault and what happened and how to.prevent something like this from happening to anyone else in the future and don't jump to the conclusion of who was at fault because it is not always the truck driver or the old couple in the car or RV who is at fault ... just pray for all involved that is all I have to say

You know I had skipped over the part where they said the ages/names of the people hurt, so I didn't realize they were an old couple til you said the old couple in the RV. That is a sad incident that it happened. I hope the 2 that lived pull through.

How DARE you mock this tragic accident??? This is Susanne, Martin's daughter who resides in Pennsylvania. For the record, my father and his wife were traveling on their "Bucket List" Trip to Alaska. It was something that was my father's dream. They were parked in the rest area because they were cautious and safe drivers. They were napping so they could continue on their journey. Expressions of condolences might be much better received at this horrific and traumatic time by all of us. If you have nothing constructive to say, please keep your mouth shut, or at least have the dignity to not spread untruth on the pages of the internet. Thank you.

I'd also like to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to the bystanders who pulled both my mother and father out of the wreckage as it burst into flames. Thanks to you, no one was burned. If you feel so inclined, please leave your information with the KSHP. My family and I will be forever indebted to your bravery. Thank you.

Susanne, I am sorry about your tragic loss, and best wishes to your mother for a full recovery. My parents also travel the states in a motorhome and sleep in rest areas. I have always worried about their safety, not just from accidents but from other people who may try to rob them. I am very sorry that the people of Salina and Saline county are inconsiderate to you and your family in this instance. Please understand that the majority of us are not as apathetic as they are. Condolences to you and your family.

I am appalled at some of these comments. My name is Holly and I am the granddaughter of Joan and Martin and this is a tragic incident for our family and a time of grief and sorrow for all of us. As my Aunt Susanne stated, they were on their DREAM TRIP to Alaska in that RV. I wouldn't wish this on anybody, not even those who have the audacity to make rude and thoughtless comments, speculations, and needless arguments. Please respect my family's loss -- prayers and thoughts are much appreciated, but please don't post anything disrespectful. Thank you, THANK YOU to the responders to the crash and anyone who was there to help. My thoughts are not only with my grandparents, but also with the truck driver. I love you Nanny and Gramps.

Unnamed are you kidding me who was at fault? Two people asleep in their camper and this truck driver slams into them at a high rate of speed are you loco? THE QUESTION IS WHY HAS THE TRUCK DRIVER ARRESTED FOR MANSLAUGHTER?
Friday 27 April 2012 13:55 Report this comment
Again, those who were involved in the rescue efforts, I can't thank you enough. As for the driver of the truck, he had a spotless driving record for 35 years. It appears that the was unconscious at the time of the crash which may have been due to breathing problems or other health related issues.

My concern is for the health and welfare of all injured parties. The age of the truck driver needs to be addressed. I drove a truck for many years and know of the dangers and pressure that is on the driver. I have had older friends injured and died. There needs to be an age limit on drivers.

Hallo Dutchess68, this is Ton from The Netherlands, the son of the brother (Wim) of Martin Bal, my condolence with the sad lost of your father, I know from my father that he had regular contact with Martin.

God bless the family of this poor couple!! Very sad they were stopped for a rest and something so horrible happened, I could never imagine the pain they all must be enduring right now. Sympathies and prayers to all of them, I pray Joan makes a speedy recovery. To the semi driver that came barreling into the rest area not paying attention, asleep or whatever he was doing, God be with you in the months to come, I suspect living with something so horrible that you did will punish you for years to come. I cannot imagine having to live with something so horrible you know was your fault, that cost a life!!

Wow @getum... You are quick to point fingers but you lack the grace to be in a position to judge. Its not your job. Maybe he had a heart attack or something completely unpredictable. Whether it was his fault or not, what contribution is it for you to berate him? I hope nothing terrible ever happens to you because I fear you'll get the kind of empathy and forgiveness ghat you've shown here. Even the family has said that the driver has driven for 35 years with a spotless record, so it is safe to assume that this was not due to some innatentive moment, rather a horrible accident. I'm so dissapointed in the lack of understanding for one another. Am I the only one who sees ghat we all make mistakes, bad things just happen, and when these things happen the last thing ( and the least necessary, least compassionate, least intelligent) anyone needs is someone beating them into the ground for something that they possibly had no control over. Well "getum..." you are "that guy". Don't be "that guy".

Series: The Human Fossil Record
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Series: What I Wish My Pastor Knew About... The Life of a Scientist
Andy Crouch examines the life of a scientist based on his experience of walking alongside his wife Catherine, an experimental physicist. That relationship has shown him that a life in science is a journey "into a set of virtues," of cultivating a specific character suited to the particular demands of research and investigation. Crouch's hope is to persuade pastors and others in the church to prayerfully support the scientific endeavor as a reflection of God's image in humankind as well as offers some suggestions for ministering to their needs.
Series: Understanding Randomness
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
Series: Ephesians 4:1-6: A Call of Christian Unity
This series discusses the importance of unity among Christ's believers. Ross Hastings, an expert in the areas of both chemistry and pastoral theology, is eager to see the church seek out unity rather than divisions in this science/faith interface. Unpacking Ephesians 4:1-6, he explains that unity in Christ through the Holy Spirit is the primary concern of both Jesus as seen in John 17 and Paul in Ephesians 4, making this matter pressing. He urges all believers to be in agreement that God indeed created, yet to be in dialogue over how that creative process occurred.
Series: God and Creation
In this four part series, David Opderbeck explores the interesting relationship between God and his creation. He first looks at his transcendence over the material world. In one respect, God is completely distinct from all creation, yet he is also immanent, or present within all creation. Another aspect of God reflected in creation is his Triune nature. Just as love, fellowship, and delight exist within the Trinity, so these characteristics are present in the world, and experienced by humans. He completes his thoughts with a discussion about God's interaction with humans.
A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
Evangelicalism and Adaptation
I look my students dead straight in the eye and tell them that no matter what, debate within the intellectual sphere cannot and should not take away or diminish the importance of the personal nature of their faith. The intellect, to use a scientific phrase, while necessary for the faith, is not sufficient
Denis Alexander on Understanding Creation Theology
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Evolution, the Enlightenment, and Worldviews
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Dissonance and Harmony
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
New Leadership for The BioLogos Foundation
With great pleasure, the Board of Directors of The BioLogos Foundation announces the appointment of Deborah Haarsma to become our next President, and of Jeffrey Schloss to the role of Senior Scholar. Professor Haarsma assumes leadership from our outgoing President Darrel Falk, to whom we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude.
Raising Children to Pursue Truth
In this video Conversation, Joel Hunter articulates the importance of raising a child that can garner knowledge from a variety of sources and to be able to study science with integrity—that is, to be able to pursue the truth to where it leads.
Psalm for the January Thaw
God shows himself not just in the orderliness of nature, but powerfully, joyously and always surprisingly in its beautiful "non-order" as well.
Series: Made in the Image of God: The Theological Implications of Human Genomics
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
Does Evolution Compromise Human Morality?
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Awe in Science
If we can understand the experiences of the people who work every day in the lab, our dialogues concerning science and religion will be far more fruitful.
Series: Harmonizing Science, Ethics, and Praxis
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
Series: To Serve and Preserve—Genesis 2 and the Human Calling
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.

TELL US: Does 'Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer' Condone Bullying?
Does the lovable children's holiday classic send the wrong message? Tell us your thoughts.
In October, Patch asked readers how they felt about one parent's view that "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" condoned bullying.
Specifically, blogger DadCamp wrote that the show sends the wrong message to children because of its "continuous teasing and bullying"
It's not the first time a parent has spoken out against a classic children's program with such a claim.
Last December, news spread that author and special ed professor George Giuliani said that "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" was also a program laden with the theme of bullying, considering how much Rudolph was an outsider due to his glowing red nose. Giuliani, as such, wrote a book titled "No More Bullies at the North Pole," which re-tells the story of Rudolph.
What do you think? Does "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" send the wrong message and condone bullying? Or is the claim taking an extreme aim at a children's classic? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
Matt Perkins
2:02 pm on Wednesday, December 5, 2012
Interested to see the feedback on this one (we had a ton of great feedback on the article regarding "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown"). Both programs are classics focus on overcoming adversity and helping others as opposed to bullying. Thoughts?
Emcee of Seekonk
2:21 pm on Wednesday, December 5, 2012
These were my thoughts in October on Charlie Brown. The same thinking process would apply to Rudolph.
"At the time this Charlie Brown created, a hero and a bully were constant themes in literature or comics. Superman, Spiderman, etc. all represented good. The bad guy/gal or villain represented evil. Without a bully or bad actor, there can be no Superman to settle the score. Kids love this kind of stuff... or did back in the day."
When good (Rudolph gets to successfully lead the pack through the dangerous fog) triumphs evil, there is a lesson learned. In this case, the teasers look like fools. Life is full of these situations.

2:51 pm on Wednesday, December 5, 2012
It's stories like this that concerns me! It's called fiction and it doesn't promote anything other than Christmas people! That's right I said Christmas and if you don't like it, too damn bad! This whole "bully" thing is becoming a joke! Does the story of Rudolph encourage bullying? Come on people lets get serious here! The more attention we draw to it, the more kids are going to do it. And let's be honest children who stand up for themselves are disciplined as well, that doesn't help either. We use "bullying" as a label for anything a kid doesn't like, and it's really getting out of control. Instead of teaching a kid to handle it in an appropriate way, parents and schools shield their kids in glass houses and as a result kids don't know how to handle criticism when they get older.

No, it's a delightful childrens classic that's been around for decades.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Rudolph is a capitalist allegory, Ayn Rand may have written it. Goods and services - and the people who make and provide them - only have value in a capitalist society when demand exists. Nothing about Rudolph's inherent goodness and moral virtue is values by his peers or elders, it is only when he becomes indispensibly productive that he is accepted. The day that the elves create a sleigh headlamp system that can mimic his nose's illumination is the same day he goes back to being a freak, detested and scorned, and left in the dustbin of Christmas history.

i totally agree with Brutally Honest- people need to stop coddling their kids & teach them right from wrong & also MORALS & RESPECT. nobody can enjoy anything anymore & it is getting stupid. May as well stop believing in Santa because it's all technically a LIE right? You need to draw the line somewhere people. Stop being so serious, miserable & politically correct. I don't blame kids AT ALL for rebelling. Their crazy parents need to get a life.

Yes. without a doubt, Rudolf promotes bullying and it should be banned...forever.
While I'm thinking of it, here are some other completely fictional characters that have been dragging society down and should be banned.
1.)Woody Woodpecker….Environmental Terrorist (destroys trees)….Ban all cartoons or birds…either one…forever.
2.)Lone Ranger…Politically incorrect Indian Sympathizer…Ban all things cowboy..forever.
3.)Boba Fett…Intergalactic Assasin & Terrorist…..Ban all things Star Wars…forever.
4.)Toothfairy, Easter Bunny and Santa Clause….Known Felons (all repeat offenders…. wanted for Breaking and Entering)….ban everything fun for everyone…forever.

way to go, Avon. What about all the folks who are still bitter, aggrieved, resentful, angry about the election? Now those 'chicken littles' are railing against the financial cliff and the end of civilization as we know it. Saw a bumper sticker today against the Affordable Healthcare Act.
It said "Lord, protect us from Obamacare." Doom and gloom. Guess the driver feels hopeless about a future where the 46 million uninsured get healthcare.

Gretchen Robinson
12:07 am on Monday, December 10, 2012
oh, dear, I have to tell you that former Gov. Calceri called it a "holiday tree" two years in a row and no one made a fuss. Course he's Republican and Catholic so that fact was never brought up by the press or pundits.
Bill O'Reilly overblown umbrage will have heads shaking and and tongues wagging. Such a cheap shot. Do you all have to feel superior that you bash RI. Grow up with your piddly little griping. The HOLIDAY is bigger than that. It's pagan, Jewish (be inclusive of Jews, Jesus was a Jew!!); Black (Kwanza), India (Diwali --Festival of Lights). Are we so petty that we arrogate Christmas all to ourselves. It's the dark time of the year. Don't make it darker with your aggrieved rantings.
8:42 am on Monday, December 10, 2012
Lincoln Chafee has become a modern day Burgermeister by censoring the word Christmas. His actions are a current trend to try and make everyone happy in this politically correct era that we are living in. Our politicians are giving this country away piece by piece, and they don't even know it.
Gretchen Robinson
5:56 pm on Monday, December 10, 2012
oh, give it up. You are ruining your own Christmas with all this crankiness. Remember that in the early years in Massachusetts the Puritans forbade Christmas and called it gaudy. That was a work day. And they were a near theocracy, as Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson found out. Puritan church leaders had them brought up on civil charges.
Mostly I don't know understand why you see yourselves as victims. I just don't understand that. Do you really think the nation is under attack by raging atheists? Most people I've ever met have a live and let live attitude.

"No one talks about Religion and God more than Athiests."
Lol. Amen.
And if one athiest is offended by the words 'Christ' or 'Christian', then we must all give up our traditions and tap dance to please the athiest. Something is mighty wrong here.
Merry Christmas.

Indiana, the Christmas spirit is one of peace. How about the Christian tradition of not bearing false witness, of being "ambassadors for Christ"?

She makes customers feel appricated. I am a loyal customer, I refer everyone to her without hesitation. You ROCK ELLA.

Comments about South Shore Sand Castle 4 Drawer Chest in Pure White:
Love the product. Its great for my 2 year old who loves to climb and be a little destructive at times on her furniture but this dresser is very sturdy and solid and the wall mount is wonderful! It goes great with her toddler bed that was also bought from cymax. It has alot of room in the drawers and they slide so smoothly. Great product and I love the look!

acceptable for a guest bedroom
By mom on a budget
from san francisco, ca
I bought this chest originally for my preschooler's room, but after assembly, i realized the drawers were way to flimsy to uphold her rough handling. we decided instead to put it in our guest bedroom, which almost never gets used. upon opening the box, we noticed that the side wall piece was cracked, but fortunately, the crack is near the back; however, since the crack splits the particleboard, the durability of this piece is questionable. time will tell. would recommend leaving the drawers out for a few days to air out the strong particleboard odor before placing in a bedroom.one note about the construction. if assembled correctly, most pieces fit together nicely, but if a metal drawer bracket is misaligned, the drawers do not align correctly leaving an awkward space between drawers.
This was what I expected

Based on the country-level crop production statistics retrieved from FAOSTAT in 2006, this tool instantly shows users the custom ranking across countries and regions in terms of their reported harvest area, production, production value, and yield of major crops.
This comparative static model estimates potential yield increases and poverty reduction effects based on user-selected yield closure gap assumptions. A poverty-productivity elasticity (extracted from the relevant literature) and crop-specific adjustments are used to link productivity gains to a lowering of poverty prevalence rates and poverty headcounts compounded over a 20 year period.
HarvestChoice region dashboard provides a one-page view of national time-series and sub-national statistics for 52 countries in sub-Saharan Africa.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking. Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff

He'd probably be free after that second, but i reckon it would be long enough to at least land one blow.
If the Fan is disarmed somehow Naruto will deff damage Madara

Madara ****ing fanboy. Stop underrating every ninja. Im sure there is a few ninja that could do damage.
Ten ten could beat that old sh it blind folded.
madara solos any one ninja at this point thats facts a team of naruto and saske tho would prove to much for even him as plot no jutsu is at its strongest when they team up
edo madara/harishima/rinnegan/ems/equipments is way too cocky so I would say minato Madara might look at minato as an insect and disregard the danger that minato can be. Minato possesses the ability to seal and possesses agility/reaction/speed/intelligence. Minato's ability is perfect for surprise attack. By the time, madara actually realizes that he should have gone full power against minato, it might have been too late. Minato's fight usually ends really quick which is not enough time for any opponent to use their full potential.
team 7
Will have to say Minato MIGHT be able to get close to him with FTG and reaper seal him (if that even works on him since the edo tensei rule didnt) Minato will definitely be able to hit him with a few rasengans before he dies against him though. Minato has too much speed..will last awhile BM Naruto could possibly defeat him unless he is an Edo. And lets not forget that Broly would eat him for breakfast (high protein)
nanyone could damage him but he would instantly recover from it. tsunade damaged him
Akatsuki could harm and possibly win. As for your genjtusu argument, Madara does not have as good of tsukuyomi as Itachi so they would all be able to get out of hit, or at least be saved by a teamate
Originally Posted by LordRevan Madara : Only person that can stop me is Hashirama..... So Hashirama is automatically on the list... BM Naruto also, Obito also, Minato also (uses ftg to land a hit)..... All the first 4 hokages. The only one that COULD stop me. He is referring to back then. Info agree about the 4 Hokages, they all would land a hit, maybe not Tobirama because we have very little knowledge in his abilities.
Originally Posted by Staarkk The only one that COULD stop me. He is referring to back then. Info agree about the 4 Hokages, they all would land a hit, maybe not Tobirama because we have very little knowledge in his abilities. this is just pathetic. you madara fanboys preach about "herp derp nope, madaras talking about the past". madara said that when he was at the peak of his power and he meant that hashirama beat him when he was at the height of his power(perfect susano).
well is it Edo-Madara or the living one?
Originally Posted by OhReary Kamui? Not sure if that would hurt him, but he'll be forever alone in another dimension Mental damage can hurt to, no fap material. same thing that i have in mind m not really sure, at this state if anyone exist that could be able to put damage on him. but i wonder if he could escape the other dimension whith kamui casted upon him.
Originally Posted by PuppyDogGeneral Genjutsu one shots 80% Perfect susanoo takes care of the rest. you really think madara can take down all the akatsuki's down at the same time.... how naive,.... let me remind u who are there in akatsuki: 6 paths of pain- obviously we know they are powerful. can absorb all ninjutsu.. can repel all attacks do summonings etc. but they are vunerable to genjustu so they are not so stupid to just stand the can stop madara from doing any genjutsu or anything. konan not much to tell about her.. i mean as long as she has chakra she cant die she will just turn into paper... her paperbombs were surely very effective... she was the 1st person to damage tobi... hidan immortal guy... and if he gets blood of madara.. then just great kakuzu he is 5 in 1 guy.. a formidable opponent itachi he knows all about madara.. even has great genjutsu and can block susanoo and with tosuka sword... kisame the tail less tailed beast... can create an oceans with 1000 maneating sharks... zetsu the white ones will take in the akatsuki member's chakra and then will transform into them making 100 itachi, 100 kisame, etc etc... sasori used puppets to bring down a nation... impressive feat... performance of a hundred puppets deidara art is explosion.... bang!! land mines and ariel attack... ah... and C4 karura... turns everything to just.... never seen madara using lightning element... so he may not render those microscopic bombs useless.... I am sure now you may be convinced that AKATSUKI f*cks Madara.... :flaw::flaw:

Tired of the sequester yet?
The automatic cuts to federal spending don't start until Friday, and even then their effects will only be gradual. But Washington is already in a frenzy over a crisis that the two parties have brought on themselves with a scheme that was -- as I noted in my Sunday column -- designed to be stupid.
The two parties' campaigns over the meaning of the sequester began in earnest over the weekend. Until now, most Americans haven't paid much attention.
President Obama and the White House have rolled out a high-intensity effort to convince voters that the sequester will exact intolerable cuts in every state, from big (more than $150 million in education aid for California) to small (child care eliminated for "up to 100" children in North Dakota). On Monday morning, Obama warned governors that the cuts will affect the private sector too. "Companies are preparing layoff notices," he said. On Tuesday, the president will head for the Navy port of Norfolk, Va., to complain that the sequester forced him to keep the aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman home instead of sending it to the Persian Gulf.
Republicans have been a little slower off the mark; they don't have the machinery of the White House at their command -- or the message discipline that comes from having one uncontested leader. Still, in television appearances over the weekend, GOP leaders began to repeat their own best talking point. "Surely [Obama] can put forward a plan to cut 2-to-3% from a $3.5 trillion budget," Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said. "Rather than issuing last-minute press releases on cuts to first responders or troop training or airport security, he should propose smarter ways to cut Washington spending."
McConnell has a point, of course. If the sequester's cuts could be spread across the entire federal budget, they wouldn't be so disastrous. That's why Republicans are talking about modifying the sequester to give Obama more discretion on where to cut -- a change that would make him responsible for whatever reductions in government services he chose.
Democrats have already denounced that idea as a trap and declared that they won't fall for it. They point out that Obama has long offered to enact at least $930 billion in smart spending cuts, almost as much as the $1.2 trillion sequester. (The problem for Republicans, of course, is that Obama wants to pair those spending cuts with $680 billion in new tax revenues.)
And that's why there's no easy way out. Democrats hope voters look at the impact of the sequester, react with alarm and force Republicans to agree to revenue increases. Republicans hope the White House's alarms turn out to be nothing more than alarmism, and that the sequester's 3% in federal spending strikes most voters as no big deal.
Which means that you have a vote. How the public reacts will determine how this drama plays out.
McManus: D.C. doubles down on the sequester
Obama on the sequester: Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Most economists see 'sequestration' budget cuts as unavoidable

Here's an easy and tasty salad that you can whip up in under 30 minutes.
From the kitchen of Carol Kramer, New York, New York
From the kitchen of Lisa Hill, Salinas, California
Add a little spice to your next barbecue or potluck with this flavorful salad. A bright and fresh cilantro-lime dressing adds great zing to pinto beans and Monterey Jack cheese.
This salad, filled with the colors and flavors of the season, is not only beautiful to look at but also easy to prepare. It makes a fitting start to any holiday dinner. Or, top with cubes of smoked turkey for a light meal in itself.
Couldn't be faster.
A delicious vegetarian salad.
Green beans and... tomato? This great combo makes for an amazing appetizer.
Italians serve this as an appetizer, but it makes a wonderful summer main dish as well. And of course you can use fresh tuna, but canned is really best here.

When discussing his work in the museum's 15th Anniversary Artist-to-Artist program, Pierson stated "I get a kick out of participating and getting stuff out there just to infiltrate culture without a nametag."
