Potty Season Is About Awareness First, Success Second
1/1/1985 | by Gwenn S. O'Keeffe, MD, FAAP
Did you know that June is National Potty Training Awareness Month?
Typically, things only fall into the realm of "awareness" when they impact our kids' lives in a major way. And, these special awareness months are not just to raise the level of chatter about important topics, but to help all of us take stock in the special challenges surrounding them.
I find these awareness months always have some special features in common:
1. They're all important in the lives of children. In the case of potty training, this important milestone marks great independence for the child and the official transition from infancy to toddlerhood. There's no way to diminish the significance of this moment for the child, regardless of the path taken to making diapers a thing of the past. The day the diaper finally (finally!) disappears is the day each and every child becomes an official Big Kid®!
2. They all embody a challenge. While potty training is not the life altering challenge that some of the other awareness campaigns embody, it is a challenge indeed. Some families seem to slide through the process seamlessly while others find the process one of the most stressful moments of their children's lives.
3. They are significant for parents, too. The day the diaper disappears is the day each and every child becomes an official Big Kid, and that's not easy for every parent. Some parents love it and yearn for it, while others moan the loss of the infant left behind.
4. They help create a sense of community via shared experiences and drive parents to rally around each other and support the person who matters most: their child.
So, how can we best support each other this month? How can we best create awareness around the unique circumstances that potty training creates for each child and family?
Simple. We offer each other the shared recognition that because some of us have been there, we understand that there can be ups and downs, and we understand that each child is unique. We also offer the shared recognition that eventually every child "gets it" and that a parent's job is to be cheerleader and supporter. If we do that, we will have created the type of awareness campaign potty training requires for kids – and for parents.
War story swapping creates stress. Cheering each other on for our own successes creates empowerment. That, to me, is what our goal is this month.
Good luck with your adventure in moving from diapers to the potty. Your child will get there…that much I can promise you.

Boeing, Boeing
Boeing, Boeing was revived in 2007 after an undeniably successful seven-year run in the West End. The Wall Street Journal hailed Boeing-Boeing as one of "the funniest plays to hit Broadway in ages" and The Daily Telegraph said it was "the funniest show on the London stage." This charming revival focuses on Bernard, a jet setting architect living in Paris.

Mayhem follows soon after the arrival of an old college pal as flights are delayed, schedules change and chaos ensues. The laughs come fast and furious when Bernard finds himself struggling to keep up with his overwhelming amorous lies. Audiences will have to fasten their seat belts for a roaring ride that will take them up, up and away!

Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity
Were the Impressionists fashionistas? At a time in France when designers like Charles Frederick Worth changed how clothing was made and marketed into the first manifestations of the modern fashion industry, artists were using fashion to communicate modernity as an idea. The Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity exhibit at The Art Institute of Chicago covers this period between the 1860s and 1880s that saw not only the rise of the department store and the proliferation of fashion magazines but also serious interests among an artistic and literary elite in the ephemeral and constantly innovative qualities of fashion as a means of discovering new visual and verbal expressions.

Young Frankenstein
Young Frankenstein is a wickedly inspired re-imagining of the Frankenstein legend based on Mel Brooks' classic comedy masterpiece, hailed by the American Film Institute as one of the funniest movies of all time. The story follows bright young Dr. Frankenstein as he attempts to complete his grandfather's masterwork and bring a corpse to life. Together with his oddly shaped and endearing helper Igor, his curvaceous lab assistant Inga, and, in spite of his incredibly self-involved madcap fiancée Elizabeth, Frankenstein succeeds in creating a monster - but not without scary and quite often hilarious complications. Young Frankenstein is scientifically-proven, monstrously good entertainment. It's ritzy, glitzy and blitzfully funny!

Tea with Edie and Fitz
From Dead Writer's Playwright in Residence Adam Pasen, Tea with Edie and Fitz chronicles the tempestuous meeting of literary icons Edith Wharton and F. Scott Fitzgerald at her estate for tea in the 1920s. In scenes that jump backward and forward chronologically and span the entire globe (from glittering, expatriate Paris to roaring post-WWI Manhattan), the play examines the lives of two authors at the height of their powers and imagines what may have happened in that meeting that led them to never speak again. Particular attention is paid to their relationships with their equally legendary partners: Fitzgerald and his beautiful and troubled Southern wife, Zelda, and Wharton with the ghost of her mentor and longtime companion Henry James. Tea with Edie and Fitz calls into question themes of gender, sanity, time, the purpose of art and the nature of love and loss.

Madonna is known for speaking her mind, even if it means tongue-lashing her own fans on occasion.
So when the Material Girl spotted a few people smoking during a sound check at Chile's National Stadium on Wednesday, she didn't hesitate to voice her displeasure.
"There are people smoking here. No smoking!" Madonna schooled her Santiago followers. "If you're going to smoke cigarettes, I'm not going to do my show."
If you love me, don't smoke, Madonna further pleaded.
PHOTOS: Madonna's life in pictures
But according to a video and an account in Santiago's El Mercurio newspaper, the encounter escalated as the fans continued puffing away.
"You're looking right at me and smoking cigarettes, as if I were a [expletive] idiot," the paper quoted Madonna as saying.
Despite that inauspicious pre-opening act, Madonna's show did go on. But there may be some lingering bad feelings over the incident. Among the 75 comments posted on El Mercurio's website, several readers waxed indignant over what they characterized as Madonna's "diva"-ish outburst. "I give thanks to bands like Iron Maiden that respect us as a public the six times they have performed in my country," one commenter wrote.
But other commenters defended Madonna. "Madonna was totally in the right," one wrote. "If someone comes to my house and blows smoke in my face, it's a lack of respect."

"*Klasik bir soru: Neden Türkiye?"
People, especially Turkish people, are always asking me why on Earth I choose to live in Turkey. Upon meeting a new person, I am more often than not faced with this question, usually followed by a half-joking: "We Turks want to go to America!"
Well, here is my reply.
For one, Turkey's just plain interesting. My, what vast contrasts it has! It's modern and ancient and cosmopolitan and quaint at the same time. Take this guy, a karpuzcu, selling watermelons off of his horse-drawn cart.
I spotted him on my way to a charming bakery for Sunday breakfast in a chic area of the city called Nişantaşı. As luck would have it, when I returned home two hours later, he happened to be parked on my street.
Another reason I'm still in Turkey is because it is beautiful. Take Istanbul, for example. It is a bustling, chaotic city, but you don't have to look very far for a beautiful view of the sea.
You might even get lucky and have a friend or a work contact who owns a boat where you can hang out and do a little yacht yoga.
As the "unusual and interesting" foreign dancer, you get opportunities to perform with internationally renowned musicians. You might even get a chaise lounge in your dressing room!!!
And of course, while doing what you love for a living is delightful, doing what you love for a living while on a boat is divine.
So, there you have it–my answer to *the classic question* "Why Turkey?"–here in photographs.

Both candidates running for District 3 Spalding County Board of Commissioners have been invited to briefly address the audience and to entertain a few questions. The District 3 candidates are Democrat Rita Johnson and Republican Michael Renew.
The focus of the meeting, said local NAACP President Jewell Walker-Harps, will be a special presentation by Timothy Shepherd, attorney for the Griffin-Spalding School Board on the constitutional referendum pertaining to the establishment of charter schools in Georgia. "We want people to be cognizant of the fact its on the ballot and the implications of that proposal for public education," said Walker-Harps.
She said "the organization wants to also impress upon voters the importance of making a choice rather than ignoring that part of the ballot. To ignore it is just as bad as voting for it."
Walker-Harps said persons are encouraged to bring questions or issues of concern about charter schools and their establishment. They may also call in questions which they would like to have answered to 770-228-3990.
According to Walker-Harps, the following questions have been asked: What is a charter school? What is the financial obligation of the state and local governments to a charter school? How racially, socially, and economically diverse are charter schools? What evidence is there to support the success of charter schools and who sets the academic standards for these schools?
Since this is a statewide, not just local issue, the Griffin NAACP invites citizens from the surrounding counties to participate, she said,

Questioned by a second grader at Mark Twain Elementary in Sioux Falls, S.D., Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) said he's not running for president in 2016. "Do I plan on running for President?" Thune said. "I don't. I enjoy the job I have. And being the president is a very, very hard job." The same class has grilled Rep. Kristi Noem (R-S.D.) and Sioux Falls Mayor Mike Huether (D). Advertisement |

text: This sounds utterly fascinating. A character I would like to play would be Eragon, although I'm not sure if Sapphira would come with him or what. (I have no idea how to spell her name, I will find that out if she is allowed to be there too.) Also, I'm new to this forum, do I post my character bio here or elsewhere?

Citing the disruption of Hurricane Sandy, the city's Department of Education announced on Friday that it would extend by one week the deadline for students applying to high school.
Applications will now be due on Dec. 10, rather than on Dec. 3, according to a department spokeswoman.
The school system has been incrementally re-opening schools closed by the storm and its aftermath. Originally, 79 schools in more than 40 buildings were severely damaged.
On Monday, students from a dozen schools will be returning from designated relocation sites to their normal school buildings and programs, the spokeswoman, Erin Hughes, said in a statement.
That will leave about 7,800 students from 18 damaged schools still attending school in transitional facilities, she said.
The 12 damaged schools that will be re-opening for classes on Monday are being returned to service more quickly than anticipated because of the work of custodians and other workers, Ms. Hughes said.
In five other schools, the pumping out of seawater and oil, and other necessary repairs, revealed "deeper structural damage which requires more repair time before students can return," Ms. Hughes said.
Among the problems to be fixed at those schools – in Brooklyn, Queens and on Staten Island – are a faulty elevator, a condemned sidewalk leading to a school and a gymnasium heavily affected by water damage. One school in Queens, Scholars Academy, now needs asbestos abatement and students in grades 6 through 12 there are not expected to be able to return until Jan. 2.

The U.S. Census Bureau reports the population boomed again in 2012 in South Carolina and North Carolina. York County, sitting on the border of the two states, obviously will feel the impact. Lake Wylie experienced dramatic growth in the latest Census.
It's easy for even such dramatic growth to sneak up on the residents of the states. There are ways, however, to look at statistics in a manner that brings home the dramatic change. For example, it appears North Carolina will pass Michigan in population if last year's trends continue. North Carolina is nearing the 10 million population mark and likely will hit it next year. The state grew to 9,752,073 last year while Michigan essentially stood still at 9,883,360. North Carolina grew by 2.3 percent.
South Carolina grew to 4,723,723 last year. For comparison, the state passed Louisiana with its 4,601,893 population and closed in on Alabama with its 4,822,023.
Both Carolinas will need to observe the demographic trends closely so they are not overwhelmed. The trend in the two states started well before the recession. Yet, the recession did not deter people seeking a warmer climate and positive business atmospheres in the two states. The challenge for North and South Carolina is to continue to generate good jobs for those seeking better prospects for themselves and their families. Both states need to control development in such a way that rapid growth does not damage the environment and the quality of life.
In Lake Wylie, we will need tools to manage traffic, zoning, balanced economic growth and address other urban sprawl issues.
Lake Wylie Pilot is pleased to be able to offer its users the opportunity to make comments and hold conversations online. However, the interactive nature of the internet makes it impracticable for our staff to monitor each and every posting.

Bradford City: Start is going to be pretty tricky, says Ricky
7:00am Tuesday 19th June 2012 in Sport By Simon Parker , Bradford City Reporter
Ricky Ravenhill has vowed to come charging out of the blocks after City were handed a tough start to next season.
Phil Parkinson's men kick off the campaign with a long trip to Gillingham, last term's leading scorers in League Two.
And they also face two of the promotion favourites in the first four games – big-spending Fleetwood in the Valley Parade opener and Steve Evans' ambitious Rotherham.
On the back of the Capital One Cup clash at Notts County, the Bantams could not have asked for a much sterner examination in the opening weeks.
But midfield scrapper Ravenhill sees it as a good platform to show the doubters that City will be a different proposition to the strugglers of recent seasons.
Ravenhill said: "We are taking it seriously this year and want to be up there with the best.
It is a tough start. Gilling-ham under-achieved last year but they are always one of the strongest sides in the league, especially at home
Ricky Ravenhill
"After the last few years, a lot of people are going to be a bit dubious when we say we're going to have a good team and do well but this is a good benchmark for us to show where we want to be.
"It is a tough start. Gillingham under-achieved last year but they are always one of the strongest sides in the league, especially at home.
"Fleetwood have got a lot of money but they haven't proved themselves at this level yet. The pressure is on them.
"They look like this year's Crawley and the bookies fancy them.
"Rotherham have signed some experienced players and they are moving into a new stadium so they're going to be fired up.
"They're all hard games but those are the ones you want to be playing in and should thrive on.
"You want to get off to a strong start and if we can get some good early results then people will take notice of us."
Ravenhill admitted the arrival of the new fixtures – which begin with the Meadow Lane cup trip against his old club – has whetted his appetite. The players are back in the training ground next week for fitness checks to make sure they are keeping to the summer programmes.
He added: "We've all had a break and now your thoughts start turning towards coming back and preparing for pre-season. Seeing the fixtures out makes everything seem a lot nearer.
"We've got five or six weeks of pre-season to make sure we are ready to go. We know what's coming up now and I'm sure we will be prepared."
Parkinson, meanwhile, is not anticipating any transfer activity this week. He also dismissed rumours that City were looking at former Leeds midfielder Tom Taiwo, who recently quit Carlisle.
