The Joys of Breastfeeding Past Infancy #21
Today I am happy to host a guest post by Marisa. Marisa works full-time at an environmental consulting firm and endured a year of driving back and forth to her son's daycare at lunch every day to nurse him (she also pumped at work in various locations, including the office server room). Marisa is a bedsharing, toddler-wearing first-time mom and "informal breastfeeding consultant" for many of her new mom friends. Here is her breastfeeding guest post:
As a mom who works full-time, extended breastfeeding has been a great reconnection tool for me and my nursing toddler at the end of each day. Oakley literally dances with joy when I walk through the front door, laughing and shouting, "Nursies! Nursies!" There are days when I can barely take off my shoes before he's pawing at my shirt, trying to get to our favorite spot on the couch, so we can cuddle and "talk" about our day. (I ask yes or no questions and get lots of head nods and shakes since my breast is occupying his mouth!)
Oakley is your typical rough-and-tumble boy in all that does – including nursing. Every session is a marathon of acrobatics, side-switching, twiddling, twirling, kicking, laughing! One very rough day, he grabbed my breasts and yelled, "Mine!" (his favorite word at the time). To which I replied, "No, Mama's nursies. But Oakley can have them right now. But they are Mama's." He touched again and asked, "Mama's?" I said yes. I think it was truly dawning on him that these milk machines were actually ATTACHED to me and he was trying his best to process that information.
Now every nursing session includes some talk about "Mama's nursies." He loves to categorize everything (dada's car, papa's car, mama's coat, grammy's coat, etc.) so "Mama's nursies" is just another entry in his long list. And I'm happy to keep loaning them out for as long as he needs them. Nursing a baby provides vital nourishment in the form of food and drink – but nursing my walking, talking, table-food eating, almost-2-year-old toddler provides so much more.
Breastfeeding past infancy is full of laughter, joys, and heartbreaking tenderness. I am publishing a series of posts dedicated to the beauty of nursing toddlers in an effort to normalize this healthy and beneficial nursing relationship. But this isn't just about me – I want to hear YOUR joys. If you are nursing a child who is older than one year, please contact me and tell me about your favorite moments. I will include them in the series and credit you, your site, or post it anonymously if you so desire. (This series was formerly called "The Joys of Breastfeeding a Toddler." I changed the name to reflect the fact that we are celebrating women who breastfeed past infancy, regardless of the age of the nursling.)

I enjoy reading each and every of the extended breastfeeding posts! It is so very special to every mom who has kept going!
Well done, Marisa! -
i think you've given me a glimpse into my future, i've got a rough-and-tumbler too.
My future too! My little guy is 14 months right now and loves climbing, tipping, and exploring things. 2 years is my next "goal".
Love love love this!
I'm so glad to see a post by a working mom extended nursing!!! Sometimes I fell like I'm the only one. It presents its own challenges, especially when I have to work late like I did this week. But I'm in no hurry to change anything.
This is so great…awesome Mama!!
Suzy -
I love nursing my little one- she is 22 months old. Unlike Oakley, I think she still hasn't realised that the "milky milks" are attached to mommy. Often after she has nursed she kisses them and says "thank you milky milk- i love you!"
Lovely post. I've really enjoyed this series. I do want to voice a little frustration though. Why is it that we have to gender everything our children do, even nursing? Why must nursing acrobatics be the behaviour of "your typical rough-and-tumble boy"? My 12 month old daughter does exactly what you describe, as do many of the female toddlers of my friends. What makes this behaviour typically male? And if a baby girl does it, what is it then?
Maybe I'm overreacting a bit, but I really work hard not to gender my child's behaviour and am always intrigued when the "typical boys" of other mums sound just like my daughter.
Thanks for listening.

JR: "Leading climate scientists have given their support to a Freedom of Information request seeking to disclose who is funding the Global Warming Policy Foundation, a London-based climate sceptic thinktank chaired by the former Conservative chancellor Lord Lawson." As the UK Guardian reported earlier this week, "James Hansen, the director of the Nasa Goddard Institute for Space Studies who first warned the world about the dangers of climate change in the 1980s, has joined other scientists in submitting statements to be considered by a judge at the Information Rights Tribunal on Friday." Hansen has posted "Cowards in Our Democracies: Part 1" — his submitted statement and an explanatory intro — which I repost below.
by James Hansen
Global warming due to human-made gases, mainly CO2, is already 0.8°C and deleterious climate impacts are growing worldwide. More warming is "in the pipeline" because Earth is out of energy balance, with absorbed solar energy exceeding planetary heat radiation. Maintaining a climate that resembles the Holocene, the world of stable shorelines in which civilization developed, requires rapidly reducing fossil fuel CO2 emissions. Such a scenario is economically sensible and has multiple benefits for humanity and other species. Yet fossil fuel extraction is expanding, including highly carbon-intensive sources that can push the climate system beyond tipping points such that amplifying feedbacks drive further climate change that is practically out of humanity's control. This situation raises profound moral issues as young people, future generations, and nature, with no possibility of protecting their future well-being, will bear the principal consequences of actions and inactions of today's adults….
The public has the right to know who is supporting the foot soldiers for business-as-usual and to learn about the web of support for the propaganda machine that serves to keep the public addicted to fossil fuels and destroys the future of their children.
Figure 1. CO2 emissions by fossil fuels (1 ppm CO2 ~ 2.12 GtC, where ppm is parts per million of CO2 in air and GtC is gigatons of carbon). Alternative estimates of reserves and potentially recoverable resources are from EIA (2011) and GAC (2011). [JR: Significantly exceeding 450 ppm risks severe, irreversible warming impacts. We are headed toward 800 to 1,000+ ppm, which represents the near-certain destruction of modern civilization as we know it -- as the recent scientific literature makes chillingly clear.]
Cowards in Our Democracies: Part 1
The threat of human-made climate change and the urgency of reducing fossil fuel emissions have become increasingly clear to the scientific community during the past few years. Yet, at the same time, the public seems to have become less certain about the situation. Indeed, many people have begun to wonder whether the climate threat has been concocted or exaggerated.
Public doubt about the science is not an accident. People profiting from business-as-usual fossil fuel use are waging a campaign to discredit the science. Their campaign is effective because the profiteers have learned how to manipulate democracies for their advantage.
The scientific method requires objective analysis of all data, stating evidence pro and con, before reaching conclusions. This works well, indeed is necessary, for achieving success in science. But science is now pitted in public debate against the talk-show method, which consists of selective citation of anecdotal bits that support a predetermined position.
Why is the public presented results of the scientific method and the talk-show method as if they deserved equal respect? A few decades ago that did not happen. In 1981, when I wrote a then-controversial paper (http://pubs.giss.nasa.gov/abs/ha04600x.html) about the impact of CO2 on climate, the science writer Walter Sullivan contacted several of the top relevant scientific experts in the world for comments. He did not mislead the public by dredging up and highlighting contrarian opinion for the sake of a forced and unnatural "balance".
Today most media, even publicly-supported media, are pressured to balance every climate story with opinions of contrarians, climate change deniers, as if they had equal scientific credibility. Media are dependent on advertising revenue of the fossil fuel industry, and in some cases are owned by people with an interest in continuing business as usual. Fossil fuel profiteers can readily find a few percent of the scientific community to serve as mouthpieces — all scientists practice skepticism, and it is not hard to find some who are out of their area of expertise, who may enjoy being in the public eye, and who are limited in scientific insight and analytic ability.
Distinguished scientific bodies such as national science academies, using the scientific method, can readily separate charlatans and false interpretations from well-reasoned science. Yet it seems that our governments and the public are not making much use of their authoritative scientific bodies. Why is that?

Daily Journal
RALEIGH -- Former Agriculture Commissioner Meg Scott Phipps was indicted by a Wake County grand jury Tuesday on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. A former administrative law judge, the third generation of a storied political family of North Carolina, Phipps could not evade criminal charges for what she allegedly did to perpetrate and, later, cover up a pattern of campaign irregularities and illegalities.
It seems far longer than just a few weeks ago that many were seeking to explain Phipps' reluctance to resign her post on the grounds that she was protecting her sole remaining bargaining chip for negotiation with prosecutors. But reality intruded. There was likely a deal or set of deals on the table involving her resignation and complete cooperation, but these almost certainly never included immunity from prosecution. The abuses in the case were too egregious, too close to selling the State Fair to campaign donors. Investigators could never have settled for a slap on the wrist. There had to be criminal charges.
The public isn't privvy to which deals were offered to Phipps, and which one (if any) she ultimately accepted. I would guess that the charges filed against her today were fewer than they could have been, and that perhaps her cooperation at some point -- no doubt after an infuriating period of Scott stubbornness -- played a role in reducing the legal blow a bit.
But there is still a legal blow. And given the evidence already made public, it was a blow that needed to be struck -- for justice, for the integrity of our state, and for the precedent that might deter future political miscreants. Simply put, no one has the right to sell or barter governmental power, be it the power to imprison, the power to tax, or just the power to award tax-funded contracts to carnival companies.
Few can reasonably feel a sense of victory or satisfaction here. A former governor of North Carolina has seen his legacy tarnished, if not squandered. Several lower-level employees of Phipps have already pled guilty to serious crimes. Promising careers have been cut short. More governmental resources and taxpayer dollars have been expended to investigate and prosecute those who should have known better, behaved better.
Nor is this the end of the story. There are other corners of the political world in North Carolina that appear to be shrouded in darkening shadows. Public corruption in our state is no longer a rare exception. It can be found in many places, in many offices, among politicians of varying degrees of experience and ideology.
I predict that we will yet hear more news reports of public officials being indicted in North Carolina. Hubris, ambition, power, and access to other people's money form a potent and dangerous combination.

There's no "Castle" tonight as ABC reworks its Monday schedule.
"Dancing With the Stars" delivers a one-hour episode in which the three finalists each perform two dances with their partners. The show, at 8 on ABC, lets finalists Kelly Monaco, Shawn Johnson and Melissa Rycroft reprise their favorite dance this season. They also put everything into the freestyle, which can decide the winner. The victor will be named in a two-hour season finale that starts at 9 p.m. Tuesday.
After "Dancing" Monday, ABC offers two hours of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" specials at 9. In coming weeks, viewers will get two hours, starting at 8. And "Castle" will be back at 10.
It's a big night over an NBC, too. The eight finalists perform on "The Voice" at 8. At 10, "Revolution" delivers its fall finale and aims to leave something that will bring fans back when the show returns in late March. The preview offers swordplay, helicopters and worrisome glimpses of Charlie, the likable heroine. Ultimately, she'll be the main reason to come back.
Over on CBS, Max and Caroline are determined to fund a cupcake storefront on "2 Broke Girls" at 9. Mike is having pregnancy worries on "Mike & Molly" at 9:30. On 'Hawaii Five-O" at 10, Vanessa Marcil of "General Hospital" plays a therapist. McGarrett believes the therapist murdered a patient. To catch her, he will engage in intense flirting.
Fox has new fare, too, in the old reliable "Bones" at 8 and the ratings dud "Mob Doctor" at 9.
The CW serves up a new episode of "Gossip Girl" at 9. The ratings have been atrocious this season, and the end is almost here. The drama concludes Dec. 17.
If you want sports, there's always "Monday Night Football" on ESPN. The Carolina Panthers take on the Philadelphia Eagles at 8:30.

This is why false accusations must have some form of punishment -- for the effects they have on the lives of innocent persons.
False rape claim ruined my life
A man falsely accused of raping a woman in Lincolnshire has spoken out about his devastating ordeal.
Gordon Frow (28) is trying to rebuild his life after he was acquitted of rape at Lincoln Crown Court.
The doorman from North Greetwell, near Lincoln, said he was shunned by some of his friends after being charged with rape.
And he said that even some family members were unsure of his innocence.
The ordeal led him to contemplate suicide – although now he says there is an enormous sense of relief at finally being cleared.
"It's a terrible thing to be accused of," he said.
"I thought people would look down on me. Even my family were in two minds. It was traumatising."
He spent seven months in prison before the case went to trial.
"Being in prison, you are depressed, beside yourself pretty much. There's no-one to talk to."
The 28-year-old faced a five-day trial at Lincoln Crown Court which ended last week.
Mr Frow admitted that sex did take place, but insisted that the woman had consented to what happened.
He was acquitted of two charges of rape, but admitted one charge each of criminal damage, driving while disqualified and having no insurance.
Mr Frow was given a six-month jail sentence for the offences he had admitted, but he was released immediately – having already served seven months in prison while preparations were being made for the case to go to court.
Now, after the relief of being cleared of the two rape charges against him, he is ready to move on with his life.
"When I walk down the street it feels like everybody is looking at me. I know they aren't, but it feels that way," he added.

They aren't being punished for falsely accusing a man of rape so there is no shortage of false accusers.

My father was accused and also imprisoned, he finally got his case cleared and was found unanimously not guilty! He spent four years away from his family over 20 months in prison, and what happened to his accuser... NOTHING!!!
These girls do these things because they can, because nothing happens to them, they destroy a mans life and their families life and do not even consider for one second what the person and his family are going through, they dont even feel guilty for their actions, it diguests me that these girls can keep doing this and nothing happen to them!! - Mar 7, 2009, 10:25:00 AM
Im a friend of gordon frow and i completly agree with what the person above has said, it does desrtoy the person and there families lives, its utterly discustin that the woman who does the accusing can jus go about her normal life after destroying gordon's. his family's and his two innocent childrens lives. Women who do this deserve to be trialed there selves if the defendant is found unamously not guilty. Women who does this should be forced to have phychaitric treatment as there obviously not right in there heads to make such a claim. It is disgrcacing that of woman who have been raped or sexually abused. they must be stopped and the the police officers and prosecution services should gather more evidence, fixed evidence before arressting innocnt men like my friend gordon. I am a woman myself and would never lie about something of this nature as it is a growing crime in this country. anyway rant over...
- Mar 28, 2009, 1:53:00 PM
oh and ive seen what this 'claim' did to gordon, it ripped his heart out, took his pride and trust in any women away and most of all took his two gorgeous children away from him. women like AMANDA WILLIAMS will be brought to justice one day!!!!
- Mar 28, 2009, 2:12:00 PM
i am gordon frow !!
the lass that accused me was my ex partner amanda williams of 5yrs and mother of our two wonderful kids, women make false accusations trust me!! she was cheating on me with her driving instructor the bit they cant publish!! but i can his name is andrew briggs tudor driving school, she thought she was gonna have a future wit him and wanted me out the way, funny he didn't agree as he already had a lass and son and had no intention of leaving then just days after falsey accusing me she was on the net saying she wants fucking up the arse to some lad from birmingham her email is firstname.lastname@example.com i found out liars always forget and she did no evidence against me over 160 discrepancies in 4 slanderious statements yet still it made trial also just days after she put herself on adult friend finder.com manda12388 putting it around hardly the acts of a victim, even miss dc cuthbert didn't collect evidence that lucily enough was produced to defence and amanda herself attempted to doctor evidence on her phone but forgot when she tried to blackmail my mother for my money to pay for thing s gave her a bill off my phone showing just this she is a liar cheat and dangerous women and has since tried to make more allegations against me for assault again without evidence feel free to telll her your thoughts but thought you should know the whole truth this is just the tip of the iceberg cheers gordon - Mar 28, 2009, 2:20:00 PM
Women fabricate accusations and frame lies because they can. What's more, feminism encourages them. Wholeheartedly. They have nothing to lose and everything to gain because organizations like VAWA and NOW will support them 200%. Therefore the sage advice is always this: trust no woman and join the ever-expanding ranks of The Marriage Strike and the Men's Rights Movement.
- Apr 26, 2009, 2:52:00 PM
Check out this link.
It is a "confession" submitted by a 16 year old who faked a rape in order to blackmail her step father into giving her a car.
Some row ensued then between some men and a few feminist women, who took the line that she had accused a man so he must be guilty of something.
Interestingly one of them posted her definition of the word rape, have a look, and compare it with:
"Rape has several meanings, the lesser known being to seize, take or carry by force; or an act of violation, abuse or plunder. Having that clarification, it can be stated that when men are falsely accused of rape, they become a victim of rape. Their reputation and life as they once knew it has been forcibly seized and emotionally, they have been abused and violated."
Since the feminists always accuse an accused man of rape, does that make them rapists?
During the conversation on the confession, feminists accused men of all sorts of things, including all being necrophiliacs, when the man finally exposed that they had admitted to being man-haters, they then complained that they were being insulted. He seems to have given up on them now, shame, he was wiping the floor with them. All they could come up with was calling him nasty names.
Take a look there and leave a comment. - Jun 14, 2009, 7:58:00 AM

Been working on trying to figure out the first and second numbers that will draw.
By tracking numbers within the past 25 draws and looking at how they rotate together and almost together... And tracking how the first number brings out something that was right below it..
I find that when i track the fisrt 2 numbers seperatly from the other 3 (most of the time 1 of those 3 is a roll over)
i do much better. The past 5 draws i have had all 5 numbers but broken up on different lines in pairs... now if i can group them all together
i will be in luck haha.
I came up with these starter sets that seem most likely to draw...... waiting to see if they come out in the next 5 days or so.... No particular order.
but i am going with the 1-9 and 9-15 for tonight on my 'test" lines.
Some of my charts show 4 for tonight but with it being such a dead number, im not holding my breath. i wont play it again untill it starts back in the rotation.
Lets see what happens.... lol
good luck.
woot! 4 is back lol
i wound up with some 3/5's on the 12 23 32 even if i did play the 4 i would never though of 4-7.
Hmmmm 25 or 27 tomorrow? lol
4-10 /11 /12
9- 15
FL Fantasy 5
Next 4 Draws :
01 - 05 - 14 - 15 -26
01 - 14 - 15 - 26 - 30 01 - 14 - 15 - 28 - 30 01 - 14 - 15 - 30 - 35
When America tolerates corruption in government, she dishonors the price veterans paid! I am in fact honoring the office of the president when I point out that which corrupts the office he holds. I will never honor any man or woman in office who disrespects the sacrifice of those who put him or her there. Never. And neither will anyone who is a true American patriot.
Hey Cajun.. hows it been going. :)
had the 13 23 32 ..
tomorrow i am in for 2-5 5-11 5-9 5-7

"When something is consuming your thoughts, you suddenly notice it everywhere," writes Carine Roitfeld in the editor's letter for the first issue of CR Fashion Book. "When I learned that my daughter, Julia, was expecting, I immediately began seeing babies and new mothers on planes, at fashion shows, in New York and in Paris. Birth and rebirth all around. I became obsessed."
That explains why the seminal issue of the new magazine, which has been teased with videos and photographs, is "filled with both images and ideas about birth, pregnancy, and family." A black and white picture of a pregnant Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, belly exposed by an unzipped leather jacket, accompanies the online version of the editor's letter.
Evidence of this obsession is readily available on the magazine's revamped website, which launched on Tuesday. An editorial starring Marie Piovesan called "Lullaby," for example, features the model posing with a baby doll.
A focus on the industry's new talents will continue in issues to come. "I've edited the magazine to be a who's who of the next generation, as well as an ode to fashion's legends and icons," Roitfeld writes. "Created with humor, joy, grace, and always a dash of irreverence."
A look at the birth of Roitfeld's new magazine, which will hit newsstands on Sept. 13, here in the gallery.
This Week's Best Dressed
This week's lion's share of gorgeous looks by far belonged to the Venice Film Festival. Not only were some of the chicest actresses of the moment in attendance, but the sheer volume of photocalls, dinners, parties, and screenings also guaranteed that the opportunities for style inspiration would be plentiful.
At the premiere of The Iceman, Brit Marling looked angelic in a strapless, white Resort 2013 Gucci gown, the hem of which was printed with a garden of grasses and blooms. At the same premiere, Winona Ryder took the opposite approach in a darkly dramatic lace Dolce & Gabbana — and the results were equally as stunning.
But the true star of Venice, style-wise anyway, has really been Kasia Smutniak. The Polish actress, former model, and festival's host has looked flawless at every single appearance and in every single dress — from a gauzy floral Valentino to a Raf Simons Jil Sander to a streamlined, crimson Armani Privé.
See all those looks, plus more from around the world — including Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (left), Miranda Kerr, Selita Ebanks, and more — right here.
It's Business Time
Worker bees, rejoice: In celebration of the many countless hours spent glued to your desk, this weekend has been extended to allow some extra time for rest and relaxation. And what better occasion than Labor Day to take a look back at some of the best office-oriented fashion editorials in recent memory? If art imitates life, then these imaginative images perfectly capture the bold-shouldered, power-suited silhouettes designers have offered up as workwear in the past few seasons.

Choupette on Set: Karl's Kitten Visits His Net-a-Porter Shoot
What does Karl Lagerfeld's world look like from his cat Choupette's point of view? That's the question this behind-the-scenes video from the designer's recent photo shoot with Net-a-Porter answers. In it, Choupette arrives for hair and makeup, then slinks her way onto the set where the clothes from Lagerfeld's second masstige collection are being photographed. She's pampered and petted by models, photographers, and everyone on the scene before being packed into a cat carrier and shipped back to the loving arms of the Kaiser himself. A look at a fabulous day in the life of Choupette, below.
Love All: Designers Customize Tennis Balls For Vogue
In honor of the US Open Tennis Championships, which started in New York on Monday, Vogue asked designers including Pamela Love, Peter Som, and Eddie Borgo to design tennis balls with elements of their signature motifs. The one-of-a-kind balls are decorated with everything from cloth flowers to rhinestones, lace, leather, and aggressive metal studs. Love shot an arrow through her design ("I have four arrow tattoos, so I thought, why not?" she says), while Som's sparkly entry takes inspiration from a diamond tennis bracelet. Dana Lorenz's Fenton ball, with brass chains and pearls, takes inspiration from Christian Lacroix and the glamorous supermodels of the '90s. A selection of our favorites from the project here in the gallery.

It's a Film, It's a Mag . . . It's the Teaser For CR Fashion Book's First Issue
First she gave us images, and now she's giving us film: Carine Roitfeld has released a 40-second teaser video for her new magazine CR Fashion Book, which gives brief behind-the-scenes looks at some of the first issue's shoots. In the short clip, set to an abbreviated version of the Lupe Fiasco song "Superstar," Roitfeld is seen weaving in and out of fashion shows and placating the corps of paparazzi who document her every move. In the background, we hear her asking, "Is it too extreme? This is a big moment, no?" before snippets of a few photo sessions appear. While it's unconfirmed whether the footage comes from the documentary Mademoiselle C — which follows the creation of the first issue of CR Fashion Book — one thing is certain: when Roitfeld asks, "It's a big return, no?" the answer is a resounding yes.
The magazine is scheduled to be on newsstands by Sept. 13; a look at what we can expect from that issue in the video below.
This Week's Best Dressed
The Summer may be winding down, but that didn't stop this week's chicest from showing off their warm-weather best. At the premiere of Lawless in Los Angeles, Bella Heathcote was super sleek in a subtly printed dress from Jonathan Saunders's Resort 2013 collection, while at the premiere of Bachelorette, Kirsten Dunst's ruffled blue Resort 2013 Jean Paul Gaultier looked both glamorous and breezy. Perhaps the most beguiling look of the week was Gwyneth Paltrow's teal tweed minidress at the screening of End of Watch in East Hampton — although it's hard to imagine any ensemble looking horrible when Jake Gyllenhaal is at your side.
Those looks — plus Jennifer Missoni's pastel zigzags at the premiere of Lawless (left) — and more, here in our weekly best-of roundup.
Stefano Tonchi Lists Bridgehampton Home For Sale
Just because Summer's almost over doesn't mean you should wait to buy the perfect Summer house. Stefano Tonchi has just listed his own slice of paradise — a modern, minimalist home where he spent time away from his duties editing W magazine — for sale at $1.795 million. The house, located on over an acre of private land in Bridgehampton, NY, has two bedrooms and two bathrooms spread over 1,700 light-filled square feet. Outdoors, there's a pool with its own pool house and a deck large enough to accommodate a dining table and lots of chaise lounges — which may explain how Tonchi maintained his healthy tan. A look at his former home away from home, here in the gallery.

Watch: Chloe Sevigny Shows Off Her Favorite Things
Chloe Sevigny shows off her archive of Opening Ceremony goodies — and her penchant for grunge — in this newly released video shot by William Strobeck. A soundtrack by Colony Farm sets an eerie mood, while inset split-screens, TV static, and saturated hues further the voyeuristic '90s vibe. As an added bonus, all the pieces are available online at Opening Ceremony's London Pop Up. Smells like teen spirit indeed.

This Week's Best Dressed
The cool kids kept it coastal this week — and the styles were just as eclectic as the locales. In New York, Prabal Gurung and company celebrated the arrival of the designer's ICB collection at Barneys with tacos, popsicles, and a lively set by indie-dance duo Tanlines. Hanne Gaby Odiele, Elettra Wiedemann, Dani Stahl, Leandra Medine, and Mia Moretti — who also pulled double duty as DJ — were among those in attendance; some even sported looks from the just-in collection. "Tonight is all about celebration, love, support," Gurung told the crowd before the band took the stage at the retailer's darkened Chelsea Co-Op store.
Over in Los Angeles, there was another young label celebrating the launch of its collection at Barneys as well: Vena Cava. Hosted by Gen Art, the party featured a gaggle of Cava gals — including Tennessee Thomas, Malin Akerman, Jenny Lewis, and Busy Philipps — sporting the brand's Fall 2012 looks while St. Vincent performed to a packed-in house at Chateau Marmont.
A peek at all that — plus all of the gorgeous ensembles worn by Jessica Biel and Kate Beckinsale on their Euro tour for Total Recall — here, in our weekly best-of recap.

Alternative Minimum Tax - AMT
Definition of 'Alternative Minimum Tax - AMT'A tax calculation that adds certain tax preference items back into adjusted gross income. Alternative minimum tax (AMT) uses a separate set of rules to calculate taxable income after allowed deductions. Preferential deductions are added back, and then the AMT exemption is subtracted to get the AMT taxable income (AMTI). AMTI is then taxed at the current rate schedule to get tentative minimum tax (TMT). If TMT is higher than the regular tax liability for the year, the regular tax and the amount by which the TMT exceeds the regular tax are paid (i.e. the taxpayer pays the full TMT). |
Investopedia explains 'Alternative Minimum Tax - AMT'AMT is designed to prevent taxpayers from escaping their fair share of tax liability through certain tax breaks, although the structure is rife with controversy as it is not indexed to inflation or tax cuts. This causes a condition known as "bracket creep", whereby upper-middle-income taxpayers are becoming subject to this tax. In 2006, the IRS National Taxpayer Advocate reported that the AMT often punishes taxpayers for having children or living in high-tax states. |

What's the Least I Can Believe and Still Be a Christian?: New Edition with Study Guide Ebook
- Check Supported devices and software requirements .
- Ebooks once downloaded are non-refundable. View return policy .
Pastor and author Martin Thielen has compiled a list of ten things Christians need to believe and ten things they don't to qualify as Christians.This lively and engaging book will be a help to seekers as well as a comfort to believers who may find themselves questioning some of the assumptions they grew up with. Many people in the twenty-first century hunger for an expression of Christian faith that is different from the judgmental and narrow-minded caricatures they see on television or in the news. With an accessible, story-telling style that's grounded in solid biblical scholarship, Thielen shows how Christians don't need to believe that sinners will be "left behind" to burn in hell or that it's heresy to believe in evolution. And while we must always take the Bible seriously, we don't always have to take it literally. At the same time, Christians do need to believe in Jesus-his life, his teachings, his death and resurrection, and his vision for the world. A great benefit of those beliefs is that they provide promising answers to life's most profound questions, including: Where is God? What matters most? What brings fulfillment? What about suffering? And is there hope? Thielen articulates centrist, mainline Christianity in a way that's fresh and easy to understand and offers authentic Christian insights that speak to our deepest needs.

A tasty variation on the traditional popper. My hubby likes these for superbowl sunday. You can also vary the recipe by adding 2 -4 T fat free sharp cheddar shreds to the cream cheese mixture. Also you can use panko crumbs for a crispier coating. Make these at least once before serving to company, as it takes a knack to get them to come out nice looking.

This Banana Chocolate Cupcake recipe makes 24 regular-sized cupcakes which is perfect for a large gathering or birthday party. The batter is a snap to make because you just stir the wet ingredients together in one bowl and the dry ingredients together in another bowl. Mix the two and you are done. The batter is quite thin so use an ice cream scoop or small ladle to fill the muffin cups. Now while the recipe calls for cocoa powder, it doesn't specify which kind, which means you can use either regular unsweetened or Dutch-processed. As always, keep in mind that the type and brand of cocoa powder you use will determine the flavor of the cupcakes, so use the best you can afford. The other ingredient in this batter to take note of, is that the fat is in liquid form (canola or corn oil). The reason I bring this up is because oil makes for a moist and tender cupcake that stores very well, with the added advantage that they can be refrigerated and still stay soft.

INTRODUCTION BY LOREN EISELEY A Voyage to Arcturus is, in reality, a long earth journey. So interpreted it is a tale of travels that few among us possess the imagination, the courage, or the ever-present symbolism to sustain. The book is an amalgam of strange philosophies clothed in weird exterior forms that have taken shape in a fantastically gifted if somewhat elusive mind. As one of his Arcturian characters remarks of a haunting and formidable music which it is the aim of the hero to investigate: "The man that can play the instrument ... would be able to conjure up the most astonishing forms, which are not phantasms, but realities." David Lindsay, the author of A Voyage to Arcturus, comes very close to being such a musician. In spite of a prose which is occasionally rude and awkward, in spite of characters which appear and vanish before, in some instances, we can quite grasp their significance, in spite of a plethora of overdramatic names like Maskull and Nightspore, Lindsay has produced a book which it is difficult if not impossible to lay down once one has entered the observatory tower where the journey starts and glimpsed the dread blue sun which revolves by far-off Tormance. David Lindsay died young. One must be tolerant, therefore, if his message -- even his unearthly music -- is rasped from a not quite perfected instrument or if his compositions seem too complex for our ears. The importance of this young forgotten writer lies in the fact that his book has refused to die and that it has occupied the libraries of bibliophiles and received the devoted attention of such gifted men as Frank Lloyd Wright. The book, to hold such attention, must contain some message from the world of Nightspore, from the soul beyond death. [AB-1] The message is cryptic, admittedly. If, however, one reads, not lightly, but again and yet again, one is conscious of an always shifting point of view which is a true part of the fragmented world we occupy. The messages derived from the fragments cannot be the message from the whole. Even Maskull, the seeker, collapses before the labyrinthine thought which permeates Lindsay's conclusion. To it I will return, but first I wish to establish the reality of this Arcturian landscape and equate it with the things on earth. I do so for one purpose only: that we do not mistake Arcturus, in this day of easy science fiction, for a superficial tale of odd beings with odd organs on a planet remote from our own. This is not a common story of adventure. Rather, it is a story of the most dangerous journey in the world, the journey into the self and beyond the self. Let me illustrate. A few days ago on a West Indian island I walked at low tide through the wet sand and coral which afforded the background of half a dozen living worlds. I thought, as I waded through this weird and glimmering domain of life, of a remark that the philosopher George Santayana had made long ago. "Prodigious complexity," he had observed, "is something to which nature is not averse, like a human artist, but on the contrary is positively prone." A jellyfish, ninety-five per cent water yet somehow alive, pumped past me, stoutly working its little translucent umbrella -- although it could neither hear nor see its way and was about to be dashed into oblivion upon the shore. Down in the weeds, his appropriated shell festooned with all manner of concealing bric-a-brac, lurked a hermit crab. Something unindentifiable with mottled green tentacles grasped at my sandals. In another spot a slippery proboscis just protruding from the sand descended faster than I could uncover it. Farther along a great tiger-colored slug whose pseudo-eyes gave it the expression of a formidable fish, grazed amidst the bottom plants. Once a bright blue butterfly object hovered in the water and, as I tried to grasp it, vanished with a total magical directness that was inexpressibly startling. I disturbed a delicate pale-blue shrimp hiding in the mouth of an anemone with stinging nettles. I encountered a sidling crab concealed behind claws which had been modeled to fit over his entire face like a medieval helmet; he could only momentarily be persuaded to drop this enormous guard. Just his eyes were alive, twiddling like small twin periscopes above his armor. It became obvious as I studied him that he was engaged in some effort at total disinvolvement with the world. Now if I had chosen to walk through these tide pools with the mind and thirsty imagination of a David Lindsay I believe it would have been possible, even without the twin suns of Branchspell and Alppain, to have observed the whims of the country of Matterplay, and if I had been able, like Lindsay, to humanize and make articulate this fantastic and diverse array, its voices would have been equally dissembling in expressing their interpretations of the universe. The double-sexed would have spoken their views of life, as would the blind from the deep caves of the coral. The multiple-personed Portuguese man-of-war might have had a philosophy, or the starfish some radial pure delight unknown to creatures of mere bilateral symmetry. In a similar and equally bewildered fashion Maskull, who is really a kind of symbolic Everyman, journeys through the wilds of the Arcturian planet Tormance, seeking from its strange inhabitants the meaning of the universe, some word of its creator. He follows a mysterious drum beat, which, toward the end of the story, we come to suspect is the exteriorized music of his own beating heart. [AB-2] He encounters beings who speak of their god as of this nature: "He faces Nothingness in all directions. He has no back and no sides, but is all face; and this face is his shape. It must necessarily be so, for nothing else can exist between him and nothingness ... He draws his inspirations from it; in no other way could he feel himself ..." Each man, continues the speaker, is a miniature of this same god. But God, before the end, is seen or hunted in many shifting guises. Is he Crystalman, or Shaping, who seems at first benign but whose subjects in the instant of death all break into a hideous grin as though taken with some final repulsive joke? There is a Bergsonian glimpse of life as some kind of ineffable streaming radiance, an elan vital caught and trapped and diversified in matter and forever seeking escape from it. There is the beautiful moment toward the end in which the dying Maskull recognizes he has set himself against the infinite, that he is nothing and that the final extirpation of his will has left him free. Yet it is characteristic of Lindsay's work that we are not permitted to rest upon this note. Maskull, who had glimpsed the life around him in so many shapes -- even, with concentrated gaze, seen a living body dissolved until it was only a dance of blood corpuscles through invisible arteries, a ghostly starlike fountain hidden beneath a grotesque exterior shell -- Maskull in his spiritual shape of Nightspore had still a last dread journey into that tower of death before whose entrance he protests in vain to the ferryman: "I have forgotten everything." Some moments later when he emerges hopeless from the tower to re-enter life again, we are not sure whether his decision is foredoomed and inescapable or an act of free will. We know only that amidst the stench and diversions of matter a tremendous spiritual struggle is in progress. Yet haunting our ears also throughout the book is the utterance of Maskull's mysterious supernatural companion: "The music was not playing for you, my friend." Or, again, there is Nightspore's protest over the body of Maskull: "Why was all this necessary?" If, as readers, we expect from David Lindsay a clear answer to this age-old question we shall be disappointed. Instead, if we are perceptive, we shall have climbed with Nightspore that last grim tower in the night and returned with some kind of unearthly knowledge which it is not in our power to communicate adequately. In the end one arises from this book not as from an idle tale, but from a spiritual catharsis the more surprising because it will have been transmitted, like the music of the drum that Maskull followed, dimly and from far away. David Lindsay was perhaps too honest to record one voice alone among the many conflicting voices that represent the living world. It is both his strength and his weakness that certain of the questions asked on Tormance, as well as the responses to them, are locked in that Delphic ambiguity which torments our daily lives. The intellectual contribution of A Voyage to Arcturus lies in its author's willingness to ask such questions. In a highly original and vivid manner and to pursue them to the inevitable, if ennobling, end. _______________ American Buddha Librarian's Comment: [AB-1] Yeah? And so has Plato, Neitzsche and Hitler. This is the lamest piece of apologetic writing for fascism you have ever done, Loren. Did someone threaten your wife and children if you didn't write it? [AB-2] Yes, and no. It's the hammer of Vulcan, pounding on your heart. It's the drumbeat of the "Protectors," those beings who OWN you! I guess you had to be a Tibetan Buddhist to understand this shit. It's ancient, magical philosophy. And in no way, original. H. E. Shenphen Rinpoche, "The Protectors" wrote: Along with the liquid that you offer in the dharmapala cup, you should also offer beef heart. The dharmapala offering is a symbol of activating the heart core. The chanting and beating of the drum that we do in the dharmapala practice vibrates the Buddha's heart. From that heart vibration, our heart vibrates. So they vibrate together, which produces the energy that produces the different phenomena. The reason it is so hard to relate to the teaching of the dharmapalas is because this teaching is so very, very sophisticated. When you go through all the elaboration of the practice, through all the blood, guts, pus and everything spilling out, and you look at the various vapors that rise up, then you begin to understand. Understanding the dharmapala is really understanding how your blood and your heart beat relate to your practice. We say your heart is the drum of the dharmapala. The pumping of the blood is the offering to the protectors, and the beating of the heart is their drum.
For example, once, in His Holiness' temple, a man named
Pedma Longdu used to beat the dharmapala drum every evening and make
offerings. He had made a commitment to His Holiness to perform this
offering ritual, and it was his routine. One night he got drunk and
didn't make the offering. He went to sleep. In the middle of the night
my mother woke up, maybe around 2:00 a.m., when the dharmapala drum
began beating on its own. She woke up my father and asked him, "Did you
ask for a special extension of the practice? What is going on?" Rinpoche
just got up and smiled, and said, "It doesn't matter. No, it doesn't
matter." |
