NFL player Tom Brady has a child from a previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan. When Brady dated his then girlfriend Giselle Bundchen, I remember reading a comment from Bundchen about Brady's son:
"I understand that he has a mom, and I respect that, but to me it's not like because somebody else delivered him, that's not my child. I feel it is, 100 percent. I want him to have a great relationship with his mom, because that's important, but I love him the same way as if he were mine."
Now I thought it was a noble and endearing perspective to take, but after talking to a couple of real parents, it seemed to strike a nerve. If you have children, wouldn't you want the person your ex is dating (seriously) to care for your child as if they were your own?
Have you ever dated someone with children and became close to their children? Did it cause a problem with their parent because you were too close?
Have you ever been in a relationship with someone who treated your children like their own? Isn't that a little litmus test to see if the person is compatible to you and your kids, since you are a package deal?
Is there a line that one should not cross when it comes to dealing with someone who has children in terms of parenting them? What would you say are the boundaries? Do you set those ground rules with your significant other and their children?

get too close t the child…relationship end…the woman , is an adult…understands fully…what's going on…but the child…my God…my God…becomes attache to that person….like no other…tell that child you and the mother are no longer together…the pain in the childs eyes will cut you like no other…they spend a long time thinking they were the reason for the break up…
There is a lot of drama involves if you're trying to be a respectable parent and be involve in the child's life. you and the mother try to maintain a nonsexual friendship and keep conversations focus on the the child, which is a good look for the child…bad for any new dude that shows you on the scene. most men are jealous by nature' will immediately think your intentions is to get back with the chlid's mother. on top of that, you've been with the child since birth…that child want his father and being that most kid are selfish by nature…isn't looking for another father, he already has one. new dude has very little chance of making an impresion on the child.
can you imagine how dude I feeling loss…not lookig at the big picture…lil dude has a good father figure and provider for the child…it makes his life easy…nah, dude gotta act like a bish igga and run complain.
for my men folks…before getting involve with a woman with kids, ask yourself…are you here for the long haul or just a booty call….and play your role accordingly.
single moms…I walk down that road before….being a single parent aint easy…on of the hardest jobs in the world…no matter how much money you got in the bank…the sacrifices yall make aren't always easy….but it is important you make wise decisions concern your children and dating….what you do will affect them for life…
amen to yall mother who doing the dayum thing…
(this post aint got ish to do with the topic…on marta thinking…see a lot of aimless moms on this bish.)

Since I know this is going to be a hot topic for all those who "I don't date people with kids" let me start the party off.
Attention: You are dating me not my child. Ladies and Gentleman with children when you go out on a date. The woman/man is dating you and not your child. Your first dates(3-4 maybe 5 ) should not include dragging little Rollo or Tanizna along cause you are a "package deal". Matter of fact Wisey I found that whole phrase offensive. I am a parent..but when I am dating I am a single person with a child who is dating. Other than scheduling I am no different than any other single person dating.
That line you are speaking of does not cross until those who are dating become more than a notion to each other and they wish to commit to something more serious like marriage(insert shudder here) or a long term thang. If are dating the person there will be plenty of opportunities to see if that person has parenting potential without subjecting your child to the madness of meeting mom or daddy's new friend.

Good Morning…great topic Wise Diva
This entry is the reason I'm usually leery of dating guys with children…I recognize the odds of meeting a man without any is often times slim, but these type situations often put a huge damper on things. I love children and when dating someone with children it's easy for me to become attached to the child/children. I try to make them comfortable around me which creates a better overall atmosphere. However, I've never tried to overstep any boundaries by "trying to be" their mom…they have a mother.
Now I'm not a mother, so I can say what I would or would not do…however, I would hope if I had a child and me and the father didn't work out that whomever he had in his life would treat my child kindly and lovingly. Her being nice or accommodating to my children won't change the fact that I'm the mother and when my children are in her presence I would want them to feel loved and safe. I also want them to be respectful to her and in times when they are not, she would have permission to put them in their place. Now physical reprimanding is a little blurry for me…I personally would have a hard time spanking someone else's child. I have a hard time spanking my own nieces and nephews (don't get it twisted, I have and I will if the situation calls for it). With that being said, there are times that people make bad judgements on who they introduce and allow their children around…that's a whole different story for a different post. But if the father has chosen someone who ultimately has my child/children's best interest at heart, I pray I wouldn't be ignorant about the situation and causing unnecessary friction for everybody (my kids, myself, their father and her). Too many times I feel these antics or "reservations" have more to do with keeping tabs on the ex than it does about the well fare of the children. And that to me is when it gets real ridiculous. Just my .02

Good Morning All
I used to be one of those people who didn't like to date people with children because of the lack of attention that would be paid to me but I've learned to not limit myself to specifics because I could be missing my blessing. The special person in my life has children and whatever he loves, I love harder..
I remember reading that comment Gisele made and I totally feel her because she loves her man THAT much! That is what I got from her comment. Straight up LOVE for her man & whatever comes with him! I give respect where respect is due! I totally agree with Alvin! A person SHOULD NOT introduce their kids to just anyone.. Kids tend to become attached to people very easily and it is not fair to them if they become attached to an individual who means NOTHING to their parent OR if the individual is not in their parents life for the long term.

Morning everyone,
Not a parent, but I would hope the step parent would love the child as their own. Folks with kids are a package deal and if you can love your spouse unconditionally, you should work to achieve that with their child. Not like he's going anywhere. Easier said then done, I'm sure tho.
If I date a man with kids, I expect them to be close, which causes a conflict. Biblically your spouse should come first, but when the kid was there before you, and you're just the girlfriend, I can see where it could be come a competition for time.

Good Morning All..
LIONESS: I completely agree. I could have not said it better. I would rather someone to love my kids like their own as opposed to mistreating them.
But I do feel if you love someone you have to love thier child as well because it's apart of them and it's a package deal. I know if I had a child I would want or rather they would have to love me just as well as my child.
If not it's a NO deal!
June 18th, 2009
9:29 am
Good morning. I figured Rell or Alvin would be first to post.
I too remember the comment made by Gisele and understood what she was saying. Co-sign you Lioness = straight up love for her man and all he brings. Now, when dating not everyone will have the privilege of meeting my daughter. There is absolutely no need to introduce her to every person I go out on a date with.
@Alvin, you're a good man!

I don't have any children but have experienced two situations that left a bad taste in my mouth. First let me say that when it comes to children I am old school in that the parent runs the child not vice versa and rude children are a no no. Now in the first situation I dated a single father whose "baby mama" was out of state and it was obvious he needed help but he tried to MAKE ME mother his son and I was in school at the time so that really wasn't happnin'. To make matters worse he tried to muscle me into moving in with them waay in College Park(they didn't even deliver pizza at night over there) and I was still living Downtown PLUS dude didn't have a car so that was an extra hellz naw…the final straw came when he told me that he didn't want me on the pill anymore and I was like "biotch is you crazy?". I have Never heard a man say that unless and I felt like he was tryna trap me so I bounced.
Second situation dealt with the ex and his two bad azz kids with ADHD and the baby mama with the i.q. of a brick. He wanted me to discipline the boys but I felt like two things can happen: 1.They would tell their mama and all hell would break loose and 2. They would resent me b/c I aint they mama and I had no right to discipline them. He couldn't control them and sometimes I wanted to shake them but I just had to remove myself from the situation. I tried to help as best I could but in the end I realized that the situation wouldn't change and I HAD TO GET OUT so I did. For ME dating a man with children took away from the relationship. Would I do it again?…..I don't know but I'm not completely closing the door but my first/last two experiences were whack.

If a child is not your own, then that's that. A step-parent is not a father nor mother. Such surrogacy is important to perform to your utmost, don't get me wrong; but to say that one treats another person's child as if they were their own is to not know what having your own child really is.
I don't fault anyone for so saying, though. It seems to indicate to me that their heart is in the right place, at least. But I have kids of my own, I've been a step-child, and I've been a step-parent. I know what I'm talking about.

Hello blog.
I just had a morning of "traffic from hell"….a 20 minute drive to the office, took me 1.5 hour to get in today….really should have just made a U, and went back home…but I am thankful for the job and do not take it for granted. I made it in here.
I appreciate this read:
no matter how much money you got in the bank…the sacrifices yall make aren't always easy….but it is important you make wise decisions concern your children and dating….what you do will affect them for life…
Thanks Alvin! You have ministered to what I need this morning…

Abc- Wouldn't you like if the man that your child/children's mom gets with next(if you are not with her currently) takes your children in as if they were his own? I would prefer to have an individual say that then say, I not really into kids but they are OK.. I wouldn't feel comfortable with my kids being with that individual..
Sassy- Just learn from those experiences and use EXTREME caution when dating men with children. Don't shut ALL men out because they have kids cause not everyone has parenting issues

With Coach's youngest son, I was a fully participating part-time parent. Homework, bath times, trips to Chuck E. Cheese and Storytime at Barnes and Noble, driving him to school in the morning, teaching him the alphabet, reminding him that he goes to school to "get an education".
After I ended the relationship, Coach attempted to keep me tied into his life by involving the child. I decided that it was in the child's and my best interest to allow that bond to fade. I no longer wanted to be the hand that rocks the cradle. Besides, at six years old, he didn't need to be party to the confusion of our failed adult relationship.
I emailed his mother and thanked her for sharing him and to give him all of my best love. I let her know that if ever there were anything that I could do for that child, I am only a phone call away, but that I would leave it to the judgement of her and his father as to what if any involvement. I didn't receive a response to that email and I have not heard from them since and I am okay with that.
Do I miss this child? Sometimes, I do. But most often, I am glad for the experience and just take it for what it was, a part of the life that I was living at the time. Like everything I do, I put a 100% effort into being a part time parent and I was d@mned good too (lol). But that was then….

No. They're not his own. They're MY own. Now, my kids are grown, but projecting back, if they had had a stepfather, he would have had a job to do or answer to me, but he'd never be their father. That's MY job.
If a father doesn't do his job, then the surrogate (i.e. stepfather) does the best he can, but he'll never be the father. Trying to be so will simply cause friction. The child won't accept it.

This one got to my heart, SexyCool.
I've never been to make a decision to an ex that had bonded with my child and after the breakup figure out whether or not my child or I should keep the relationship going. Wow! Now that i think about it that would be a really hard decision.
You willingness to still be there for the kid is selflessness at it finest.

I used to not date women without kids, because of an incident that happened with a woman who did not have kids. She stated that she wanted me to love her like I loved my daughter. I told her no matter what my daughter does I would love her unconditionally and that my love for her as a girlfriend had some conditions. Anyway I ended that relationship because she gave me grief about spending time with my child, So I started dating women with children because they understood the commitment of being a parent better..then I realized that there are some women without kids who understand also. For me my kids are the most important thing in this world until I have a wife, then she becomes first and foremost. I said a wife not a girlfriend. I recently met a girl who said that she just wanted to be my kid's friend and "good times" partner..I told her she and I could not be, because I needed someone who would help me raise my kids as their own. Now my ex knows how I am about my kids and they know that I am not having anyone around them before due time and trust the decisions I make regarding my son and daughter. I have to admit my last serious girlfriend stepped up to the plate bigtime helping me with my newborn son. I would have been lost if that woman was not in my life at that moment, I did not know what I was doing with an infant and she stepped in and helped big time, hell she spent more time with my daughter than I did(I was jealous..lol the weekend I had my daughter they would hit me up for my credit card and be gone for the weekend..lol..but I was glad that they had a great relationship..even though the girl and I have no conversation she and my daughter still hang out and kick it) she had a young son also of which I grew extremely close to. I miss him dearly, he was in the 3 year old range and he and I used to do everything together..I used to actually miss him when he went to visitation with his father.
Long story short, if you can't get with my kids and be a positive influence in their lives you can't get with me…It's a package deal. People ask if I want more kids, I tell them it's up to whomever I marry if she wants them I want them if she doesn't I am fine with that also. I dated a woman who once was adamant about meeting my daughter's mother because she thought it would be better if my ex wife knew who was around my child…lol..I told her it was a bad idea but he called her on her own. My ex proceeded to tell her :"Why are you calling me?" "W8 loves his daughter to death and I am not worried about her at all when she is with him, I don't need to know you or have any sort of relationship with you, he makes sure his daughter is well taken care of, so unless W8 has been killed or seriously injured and I need to come pick up my daughter don't call me ever again" lol

Good topic,, Im not a parent,, Im currently or I guess as recent as yesterday formely dating a woman with child… Me and ol girl have been dating off and on for the past three years. Due to business, getting back into school, we just haven't had time in the past… But we were giving it another go and she is a now a mother of a new 1ish child…
I don't know how to feel around the child, because her prev relationship ended badly, buddy hasn't seen his kid.. blah blah.. and Im not going to step into it as if im the savior.. I really value the friendship, and regardless i will be in the childs life… but do ya'll think i push the ejection button to early.. and remember I used the classic I value our friendship line yesterday,,, and she hasn't spoken to me since…

@Mr Unknown- based off your post you need to keep it moving and leave her alone. Do you know why the father hasn't seen his child? Anyway doesn't sound like you have a desire to play the role that is required in dating her as a single parent
June 18th, 2009
10:31 am
I think this is the crux of the dilemma: Now I thought it was a noble and endearing perspective to take, but after talking to a couple of real parents, it seemed to strike a nerve. If you have children, WOULDN'T YOU WANT the person your ex is dating (seriously) to care for your child as if they were YOUR own?
This concerns me and I always feel uncomfortable inquiring about or having contact with a guy's kids because of it. Some women just love their kids and are offended on GP when another woman seeems to be insinuating herself. But sadly, I there are those who thought a baby would keep him or use the child as a bargaining chip and they're probably the worst. The last thing they want is another woman who probably has more sense than them taking too much of an interest in their pawn…I mean pride & joy.
My girl bought her dude's kids like 3 outfits each for Christmas- wrong move! The kids were grilled and BOTH baby-mamas wanted them not to visit with her anymore b/c they didn't want to keep hearing her name. So eventhough she was just being generous, it came across as threatening the hold they seem to want to keep on him.
June 18th, 2009
10:32 am
Mr. Unknown – wth? You've been dating off and on for THREE years, but she has a new ONE year old? Did I read that right?
From the way you read, it sounds like you don't know what it is that you want from the relationship anyway and that all you ever were was 'FWB'.
And hell, it's only been since yesterday, what were you expecting her response to be? Or was the 'valuing the friendship line' some sort of ultimatum?
More info, please.

And, from one single parent to another single parent, thanks for keeping it real. With my left handed writing self, I am signing your 10:17 with my sterling silver felt tip pen.
And my man, one comment to that lady…You know when I saw this:
she wanted me to love her like I loved my daughter.
I called her a silly broad….Sorry, I did.

10:36 am
Morning All,
This topic really needs to be addressed in depth when out dating. Whether you are the single parent or the suitor. Like Alvin (BTW that was some real Grown Man ish, pound to you) says you have to fully understand the situation you are getting yourself into. The child is an innocent bystander in whatever your intentions are. Some young adults are really not redy mentally to move into a situation like that.
@SCool- That was real stand-up. Win lose or draw you can always be on my Life Team.
@ABC – I tend to agree with you. The love for a child may not always be transparent. When you have your own kids you understand the depth of that love and whether intentional or not the Step Parent can not reach those depths for the most part. Thats just how it is.
June 18th, 2009

and she is a now a mother of a new 1ish child……….and regardless i will be in the childs life hmmmmm,didnt realise u and her are tied tgether like a joint of weed(the jamaican herb leaves and their wrapper!
What u talking about stranger?? Why dont u bring ur drama later on this afternoon after everyboidy has had their cup of coffee.
June 18th, 2009
10:38 am
MyTwo – sounds like your girl was dealing with some immature and/or insecure mothers.
I will say this though – each situation has to be judged on its own merit. The way that I was with Coach's child may not be that way in my next serious situation should it involve children.
I don't own the rose colored glasses that allow me to think that the next situation will involve parent meetings where we all decide schedules, private schools and after school activities.

Have you ever dated someone with children and became close to their children? NO, when I'm dating I NEVER bring my kids in the equation until it evolves into a healthy two way relationship. He would be aware that I'm a single parent upon initial meeting, and be fully aware taht there are no "drama" surrounding it if and when we go from dating to a full blown relationship. some people will try to buy the kid(s) with presents, and such thinking if they can win the child(ren) over and the person they are dating/relationship with sees it that can bump them up on the richter scale, and they'll be in the house.

Months ago, this dude sent me a crazy text asking me to follow a certain script if his child's mother were to text me Included was acknoledging her as the mother of his child, yaka, yaka, yaka.
Why would she have my # to text me?
Why would she need validation from an unknown?
WTH was he smoking to think I'd go along with this?
WTF do I look like explaining myself to anyone when I'm grown?

Now my daughter tells me "Dad, you need a girlfriend you are a good guy, you are just to mean at times and you should not always say what you think, atleast have some tact about what you say"…lmao I am like why is my daughter giving me dating advice..but ummm she is right..lol
Now to her mother's boyfriend when she met him:"Don't try and do anything special for me, don't buy me anything, don't call me any nicknames and don't try and get close to me, I have a daddy and you are not him so don't try to be"..lol
Her mother called me and was like will you tell your daughter to lighten up on my boyfriend she gives him a hardtime all of the time. I told her I didn't have anything to do with that but I will talk to her. So I told her "Scoot, mommy is entitled to be happy with her new man so you need to ease up a bit and let them enjoy each other" She says,"Dad how was he supposed to be your friend but then start dating mommy while yall are going thru the divorce, that is not right she needs to find another boyfriend"…Me:"Babygirl, they started dating before the divorce but daddy's at fault with that also, sometimes you have to let things go"..Her:"Well I just won't talk to him ever" Me:(just shakes my head)..lol
June 18th, 2009
10:58 am
Dad how was he supposed to be your friend but then start dating mommy while yall are going thru the divorce, that is not right she needs to find another boyfriend"

That wasnt fair still, i think.
Hw old is ur dghter?

June 18th, 2009

This is a very touchy situation with me because I am very active in my Son's life.. I only think a child has one mother and one father everything else is extra. The extras should always yeild to the parents of said child to keep drama down.. Now if dude or mama is not doing what they are supposed to do then ok step in and fill that void but you had better tread lightly when it comes to a child that is being raised by their biological. See women dont have to worry about this because ya'll usually get custody and then some dude tries to step in and do what he can to impress ya'll which includes acting like a surrogate father. I have said it time and time again if any man every disrespects me or my child I will be on the news..

I believe that if you are going to get involved with someone who has offspring, then there has to be some measure of awareness for the child(ren) best interest…and if that is not something that a person wants to consider, then do not become involved with the person.
June 18th, 2009
11:05 am
LOL @ Dos Centavos.
I don't mind dating men with kids, however, it seems that the men I come across with kids, don't typically date women without kids, similar to what W8 mentioned earlier.
I used to work in Child Welfare and I also spent a few years as a preschool teacher, so I absolutely adore kids, especially littles ones lol. But, my career was always a problem because I would get dudes asking me "hey what can I do with my son who is acting out in preschool, or my daughter's teacher said she doesn't socialize with the other kids, what should I do"? I would be like OMG, I am not on the clock lol. Then, when I was a social worker for child protective services, I would get "hey, my friend's son said his dad leaves him at home alone all the time, can you go over there and see what's going on"? Or, hey, my baby's mom is accusing me of things and now I have to appear in juvenile court…what should I do, you know a bunch of attorneys and judges". I'm like OMG, I am not on the clock! *sigh*

@Melo- My daughter will be 16 in a few months an we all went to the same Church and worked in the same ministry so it was no secret that he and I were friends the whole Church new it. I understand what you are saying but I never lie to my daughter and she made that observation on her own.(plus later own I found out my dughter used to sneak and read my ex wifes diary so she knew what was going on before I did..lol) Never been pissed with my ex, if I still had active feelings I probably would have been but nope..My role is Daddy to my child and thats what I do. Nobody can tell me anything about raising her at all except my ex and I must pat us both on the back..My daughter is not "fast" nor is she "green" she is not perfect but she is not a wyld child and the realness we give to her allows her to talk to us about anything under the sun..Whether it be about God, school , music, masterbation, her crushes on boys, even to why she gets picked on for still being a virgin..I always keep it real and straight forward with her

ALVIN/SEXYC Y'all were bout the business of acting in the best interest of the chirren and that's admirable. Eventhough it hurts, you've gotta know when to remove yourself from the situation for your mental stability as well.
Crazy mess, indeed, GRACE. Let's tune in to one of our convos:
.02 – How old is your daughter?
Dude- Three months
(.02 starts calculating and carries the 1)
.02 – Soooo she was like 6 months preggers when we met?
Dude- I guess
.02 – Soooo when did you break up?
Dude- We didn't.

What up Blog Fam!
My kids come first in my life period. I think some people do not place the proper value on their kids. If you ain't willing to give that chick or ole boy access to your bank accounts then don't give them access to your kids. I think we need to make a distinction here:
1. Dating = You don't get to meet or see my kids even if you introduce them to me. My kids and I are not a package
2. Girlfriend = You MAY/MIGHT/POSSIBILY/PERHAPS see my kids but you will have no interaction with them. My kids and I are not a package
3. Wife = Full Monty – My kids and I ARE a package.
If my kids mom decided to remarry I would require a meeting with dude to express the importance of my kids to me. Based on that conversation we can move forward. However, ANYBODY that is in possesion of my kids better know to take care of them as if they were they own because I JUST AIN'T GON UNDERSTAND and that goes for my kids mother too!!!!

I was listening to Micheal Baisden one day and he actually said that when he gets with a woman that has kids the Dad has to understand that he needs to back off.. I was like are you serious?
I figured out though with me being in my Son's life it weeds out a lot of pretenders cause for the most part I'm sure his mom tells them that he aint going no where.. He is the coach of his baseball team, stays at home when he is sick, buys all clothing, pays for private school, is at every Dr's appt and still pays child support on top of it all..

The Vice Chairman of the Sunset Empire Transportation District has tendered his resignation. Ron Bline of Seaside served as Board Chair for two years helping guide the reorganization of the transportation district following the stormy departure of long time Executive Director Cindy Howe and the abrupt cancellation of the majority of the routes at the time. The district continues to recover from the fall-out of the devastating revelations of financial insolvency and mis-use of public funds and grants that caused the district to scale back with the realization they were badly over-extended. There was significant public outcry over the cuts to service and Bline Chaired many public meetings where residents dependent on the service testified repeatedly as the process of discovery regarding the district finances and the former Director continued. The board, under Bline, put transportation system consultants in place who began the work of restructuring and now the District is under the direction of Executive Director Jay Flint. Flint recently negotiated a settlement, approved by the board for the repayment of funds to the federal government that the district had collected in over payments for subsidized rides for which there was faulty documentation. The district has reestablished some routes and has re-established a connector route service through Columbia county but it is unlikely the SETD system will grow back to it's previous levels under Howe.
With Bline's departure the board is composed of Paul Lewicki, the current board chair and Rae Goforth is secretary treasurer. Carol Gearin, Marcia Fenske, Julie Gassner and Victor Kee. The District submitted the following solicitation seeking a member to take Bline's position:
The Sunset Empire Transportation District Board of Commissioners is requesting application from citizens interested in filling an opening on their Board. The Sunset Empire Transportation Board of Commissioners is responsible for setting policy for the operations of all public transportation in Clatsop County and oversees a budget of approximately 5 million dollars. The District operates 4 weekday fixed routes and 3 weekend fixed routes providing connecting services to Columbia and Tillamook County. The District owns an intermodal Transit Center in downtown Astoria and an Operations facility in Warrenton. In addition, the District oversees the operations of the Northwest Ride Center, a call center for dispatching Medicaid rides in Clatsop, Columbia and Tillamook counties which is also located in Warrenton. The person appointed to this position will serve until the next district election in May, 2013. Applications will be accepted from November 12, 2012 until the District Board meeting on November 29, 2012 at 9am, upon which a candidate will be appointed upon a board vote from the applications received by that time. Application forms are available on the District's website at www.ridethebus.org or may be picked up at the Astoria Transit Center ticket desk. For more information please contact Jay Flint, Executive Director by phone at 503-861-5399 or by email at

A man who was employed at an Ahwatukee recreational center has been arrested for luring a minor for sexual exploitation.
21-year-old Michael Hudson was arrested on Thursday and is facing charges of luring a minor, attempted child molestation, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
The investigation first began on May 17. Phoenix Police say Hudson went to the home of the victim, a 13-year-old girl. He snuck into her bedroom through the window to avoid her parents.
Authorities say that Hudson provided the girl and two of her friends with alcohol, and then later tried to engage in sexual contact. She resisted his advances, so they continued drinking, the report says.
In the coming days, Hudson proceeded to engage texts with the victim in an attempt to lure her for sex, according to Sgt. Trent Crump.
Hudson worked at the city of Phoenix in a part-time position as a recreation leader. He met the victim two years prior when he was working at a summer camp that the victim attended. They stayed in contact since then through Facebook and text messaging.
The victim's father reported the texts to police and Parks and Recreation officials. Hudson resigned his position on May 21 prior to being fired.
The investigation is ongoing.

Montreal Alouettes GM Jim Popp was busy Friday.
The Alouettes re-signed cornerback Seth Williams, Canadian fullback Dahrran Diedrick and defensive tackle Moton Hopkins before they became free agents Friday. And once the noon ET deadline passed, Montreal signed defensive back Geoff Tisdale, who spent four seasons with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
Montreal also released veteran defensive back Jerald Brown to re-sign him a day later.
The six-foot-one, 185-pound Tisdale had 35 tackles and two interceptions in 15 games with Hamilton last year. Tisdale, 26, has registered 198 defensive tackles and 17 interceptions over his five-year CFL career.
The five-foot-11, 185-pound Williams had 53 tackles and an interception with Montreal last season.
Diedrick, 34, a Toronto native, returns for eighth season in Montreal and ninth in the CFL. He rushed for 55 yards on 12 carries last season while also contributing five special-teams tackles.
The six-foot-two, 277-pound Hopkins had four sacks and 17 tackles in 10 games last season. Hopkins, 26, missed the 2012 season after having a blood clot removed prior to training camp.
Montreal also signed linebacker Steve Octavien to a two-year deal.

Feds shut down fake sweepstakes aimed at seniors
Millions were sent letters claiming they were winners; instead they were scammed out of more than $11 million.
A scam that that led recipients to believe they were sweepstakes winners was shut down after the Federal Trade Commission won a court order halting the scheme. Nearly 4 million letters were sent as part of the scam in the past two years alone, the FTC said.
With claims about millions of dollars awaiting them, victims around the world were asked to pay a $20-$30 fee with a form made to appear like it was needed to collect the money. The forms employed vaguely legal-sounding language like "Approval Acceptance Form" and "Right of Legal Registration." Most of the victims were senior citizens, the FTC said.
In addition, FTC said despite the boasts on the front of the letters, those who were able to plow through the fine print would find disclaimers noting that all that would be provided is a list of sweepstakes.
"Consumers frequently fail to see or understand this language and send money to the defendants," the FTC said. "The FTC alleges that this language does not appear designed to correct deceptive statements, but exists mainly as an attempt to provide a defense to law enforcement action. Consumers get nothing of value in exchange for their payment."
The FTC said consumers lost more than $11 million in the scam, which has been run, the agency said, by Liam O. Moran of Ventura, Calif. The scam has been ongoing for seven years, the FTC said. The operations' assets were temporarily frozen by court order.
In just the first half of this year, the FTC said Moran and his businesses sent almost 800,000 letters to 156 countries.
Others named in the case are co-defendants Applied Marketing Sciences LLC; Standard Registration Corporation, also doing business as Consolidated Research Authority and CRA; and Worldwide Information Systems Incorporated, also doing business as Specific Monitoring Service, SMS, Specific Reporting Service, SRS, Universal Information Services, UIS, Compendium Sampler Services, and CSS.
The FTC said it worked on the case with the United States Postal Inspection Service as well as police departments in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
Here are some tips from the FTC about how to avoid getting conned by a prize offer:
Legitimate sweepstakes don't require you to pay or buy something to enter or improve your chances of winning, or to pay "taxes" or "shipping and handling charges" to get your prize. If you have to pay to receive your "prize," it's not a prize at all.
Sponsors of legitimate contests identify themselves prominently; fraudulent promoters are more likely to downplay their identities. Legitimate promoters also provide you with an address or toll-free phone numbers so you can ask that your name be removed from their mailing list.
Bona fide offers clearly disclose the terms and conditions of the promotion in plain English, including rules, entry procedures, and usually, the odds of winning.
It's highly unlikely that you've won a "big" prize if your notification was mailed by bulk rate. Check the postmark on the envelope or postcard. Also be suspicious of telemarketers who say you've won a contest you can't remember entering.
Fraudulent promoters might instruct you to send a check or money order by overnight delivery or courier to enter a contest or claim your "prize." This is a favorite ploy for con artists because it lets them take your money fast, before you realize you've been cheated.
Disreputable companies sometimes use a variation of an official or nationally recognized name to give you confidence in their offers. Don't be deceived by these "look-alikes." It's illegal for a promoter to misrepresent an affiliation with -- or an endorsement by -- a government agency or other well-known organization.
It's important to read any written solicitation you receive carefully. Pay particularly close attention to the fine print. Remember the old adage that "the devil is in the details."
Agreeing to attend a sales meeting just to win an "expensive" prize is likely to subject you to a high-pressure sales pitch.
Signing up for a sweepstakes at a public location or event, through a publication or online might subject you to unscrupulous prize promotion tactics. You also might run the risk of having your personal information sold or shared with other marketers who later deluge you with offers and advertising.
Some contest promoters use a toll-free "800" number that directs you to dial a pay-per-call "900" number. Charges for calls to "900" numbers may be very high.

|Denis Lacharme-Th
This season he is presenting four American musicals — all in English, with French surtitles, culminating with the Paris premiere of composer-lyricist Stephen Sondheim and librettist James Lapine's Sunday in the Park With George, starring Julian Ovenden as 19th-century French Impressionist painter Georges Seurat. Choplin says that Sunday in the Park will have new orchestrations for a 46-piece orchestra by Michael Starobin, the musical's original orchestrator, and that Sondheim himself is to attend opening night in April.
Beginning Jan. 25, Châtelet will present The Opera Group/Young Vic co-production of Kurt Weill, Elmer Rice and Langston Hughes' 1947 Broadway opera, Street Scene.
Next season, Choplin is planning to present Into the Woods, Sondheim and James Lapine's 1988 adult take on fairy tales, and a revival for Christmas of Châtelet's 2010 production of My Fair Lady. He is also contemplating offering Carmen Jones, the 1943 Broadway musical based on the Georges Bizet opera Carmen and transplanted to an African-American, World War II-era setting using Bizet's music with book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II.
"We have done the classics, and at the same time we are doing Stephen Sondheim, a living and breathing composer," Choplin says from Paris, where his office on the Right Bank overlooks the Seine. "It's amazing for us to see that so many people are discovering that this music is phenomenal, fantastic, sophisticated. It's like suddenly opening a large window on a new world."
Sunday in the Park, starring Ovenden, the English stage, film and TV performer who appeared Off Broadway in 2011 in the musical version of Death Takes a Holiday, will play the ornate 2,500-seat theatre April 15-25. The Sondheim musical marks the next chapter in Choplin's successful effort to bring the composer's work to French audiences. It is a fictionalized account of the creation of Seurat's masterpiece "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grand Jatte." The 1984 Broadway musical won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
Parisians, Choplin says, "have discovered Stephen Sondheim as one of the last giants of the Broadway scene." And "this is almost like a new creation, with new orchestrations being made for a large orchestra."

Fearing Nothing But Fear Itself in Pine Mountain, Georgia
It isn't difficult to see why Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the USA, loved to retreat here for picnics far, far away from the burdens of the White House. The panoramic view from the Knob isn't breathtaking so much as it is sublime, pastoral even, with farms and animals dotting the landscape below. The drive along the FDR Route and the view from up top are particularly lovely in the fall, when the richly hued leaves glow in the sunlight. FDR, well a statue of him, sits in repose on a stone bench, leg braces and all, approachable, welcoming, friendlier, and warmer than he is in his wheelchair and a Navy cape at the FDR Memorial in Washington, DC. Although FDR, paralyzed from polio at the age of 39, could never hike at Pine Mountain, you can take the Dowdell Knob Loop Trail, which winds its way around the mountain for about six miles. Or perhaps you might try just the eastern half, which takes you, at some point, cliffside and then down into a small wooded valley with a waterfall that trickles down into several small pools, a perfect spot for a picnic. A sense of history and beauty pervades Dowdell Knob and nearby Warm Springs, home of the Little White House, if only you have the patience and perspective to look for it.

Couldn't wait till tomorrow just to pumped up to see this team play after the loss season of a year ago.
This drive is the ballgame
Chiefs had some chances in the passing game but like the past few season drops hurt them
Ok someone has to say it Cassel cost us the game tonight
I thought overall the first team and special teams stood out and played really well. I'm excited about our special teams. Bray played better then Stanzi. Knile Davis looks like the real deal if he can hold on to the ball. The Jamal Charles and Alex Smith combo looked like a match made in heaven. I Know it's just one preseason game but that's what I got from it. GO CHIEFS!

LANSING, MI (WTVB) - Local control of schools is at stake say opponents of the proposed expansion of the Education Achievement Authority. It may come up for a vote today in the Michigan Senate. The state run E.A.A. has taken over 15 of the lowest scoring schools in the Detroit area and poured money, new programs and new staff into them. Governor Snyder wants it to take over troubled schools statewide.
Critics say the Detroit pilot isn't working, claiming its lost 24% of its population, it's de-certified several hundred special education students, it's lost staff, and the MEAP test results have been basically mediocre so it's not something you want expand. The measure has already passed in the house, but may fall short in the Senate, where some republican senators oppose the loss of local control. If it fails today, Senate Leader Randy Richardville says they may start from scratch on the issue.

Col. Timothy Alben, superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police, is a Western Mass resident. Thursday, he met with media from our area.
"We all belong to chief of police associations in both Eastern and Western Massachusetts," said Alben. "So when we get into situations like this, there are no introductions necessary."
Alben said that familiarity statewide is a big reason so many different agencies were able to work together to track down the Boston Marathon bombing suspects.
While state troopers from Western Mass were called in to help, the Pioneer Valley's response did not stop there.
"The day of the bombing on Monday, I saw a Holyoke police cruiser in downtown Boston, just outside of locked down areas," Alben stated. "So that was nice to know that they were there and represented."
The Valley's skills were not limited to the ground.
On the Friday night that Dzokhar Tsarnaev was found hiding in a boat, a crew based out of Western Mass were the ones in the air, flying the state police helicopter.
"Usually there is one crew working on a particular shift," said Alben. "To come out here from Westover to look for a missing person, or a lost child, or an apprehension in a crime is not uncommon."
Alben, who took over control of the state police less than a year ago, said things remained calm inside the investigation's command center, despite trying to process so much information.
"It was a roller coaster of emotions," said Alben. "It was up and down all of the time. You are constantly tasking people out to investigate new leads, or a call that might have come in, a sighting that may have come in and rapidly trying to deal with that."
Alben said they have already had discussions planning for the marathon next year.
However, the next big event on the state police agenda will be the annual Fourth of July celebration in Boston.

The Speakers Corner helps connect think tanks, academia, the media and the public to a diverse group of experts who can speak to UNDP's commitment to "empower lives" and build "resilient nations."
29 May 2012
More than 40 social development ministers from Latin America and the Caribbean and Africa are gathering this week in Brasilia to discuss how both regions can exchange experiences and increase co-operation to end poverty. The UN Development Programme (UNDP) is proud to be the facilitator of this historic gathering. It takes place less than a month before the Rio +20 UN Conference on Sustainable Development. There, world leaders, along with thousands of participants from governments, the private sector, and civil society organisations will gather to discuss how to build a more sustainable future—a crucial challenge for developing and developed countries alike. It is clear that countries can no longer afford to grow first and try to clean up later. Or grow first and try to become more equitable later. Growth divorced from advances in human development and without regard for the environment will not sustain advances in human development, and will damage the ecosystems on which life on our planet depends. Two weeks ago, UNDP's Africa Human Development Report on food security was launched in Nairobi with the President of Kenya. Despite sub-Saharan Africa's significant rates of economic growth, hunger continues to affect nearly a quarter of its populationRead More
22 May 2012
It is a harsh paradox that sub-Saharan Africa, a continent blessed with ample agricultural endowments, still faces hunger and malnutrition. Adding to that paradox is the fact that the region's high rates of economic growth in recent years – some of the fastest in the world – and improvements in life expectancy and schooling have not led to commensurate improvements in food security. More than one in four Africans – nearly 218 million – remain undernourished and more than 40% of children under five – almost 55 million in total -- are malnourished. The spectre of famine, all but gone elsewhere, continues to haunt millions in the region. Yet another famine occurred in Somalia in 2011, and the Sahel is again at risk in 2012. Chronic food insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa stems from decades of underinvestment in the countryside, where infrastructure has deteriorated, farming has languished, gender and other inequalities have deepened and food systems have stagnated. Smallholder farmers, on whose shoulders the recovery of its agriculture rests, have long been pinned between a rock and hard place. Erratic weather patterns and seasonal food price variations, coupled with new threats from population growth, environmental pressures and climate change, have only madeRead More
15 May 2012
Growth and employment will be at the heart of a discussion taking place this week in Tokyo, organized by the UN Development Programme (UNDP), the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the host Government of Japan on the 'post-2015 development agenda'. The structural adjustment programmes that were common around the 1980-90's, which sought to tackle intractable problems, ended up holding back development and growth—often in a painful and insensitive way that exacerbated poverty and underdevelopment. Growth got a bad name. But now growth and employment are firmly back on the development agenda—and will be a key topic during the Rio+20 Conference next month. The one Millennium Development Goal (MDG) target that relates to full, productive and decent work is unlikely to be met by 2015. The global financial and economic crisis have slowed growth, and led in turn to an employment crisis: Total global unemployment is expected to increase another 6 million over the next three years. to 206 million in 2016, up from 200 million today. And this is not a challenge for developing countries only. My own country, Spain, has nearly one in four working-age people out of work. As a result, the growth agenda has currency with a largeRead More

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) Cody Cousins is due in court today. He's the Purdue University engineering student accused of killing fellow student and West Bend native Andrew Boldt on Tuesday. The 23-year-old Cousins, of Centerville Ohio, is being held without bond on a preliminary murder charge.
Police said Cousins apparently targeted the 21-year-old Boldt, but nobody has said why -- and both families are trying to come to grips with what happened. Last night, about 150 people attended a prayer service at the Boldt family's Catholic church in West Bend. Most family members didn't show up. The Reverend Nathan Reesman said they wanted to pray in private for now. Reesman said Boldt was just like the rest of his family -- reserved, police, friendly, and bright.
Authorities said Cousins stepped into a classroom, shot Boldt while he was serving as a teaching assistant, and left. The suspect turned himself in a short time later. Both were seniors, and Purdue is not commenting on Cousins' future status as a student.
While last night's service was going on in Wisconsin, Purdue authorities responded to a report of another shooting -- this one in a housing complex that has students with families. Police later said they couldn't find a problem there, and there was no threat to the campus.

American Idol champ Candice Glover was originally set to release her debut album this summer, but it's now slated to arrive in February. However, her latest single, "Cried," is out now, and the video -- the first one Candice has ever done -- recently premiered on VEVO. But while Candice is moving on with her career, there are still people out there who can't let go of the fact that she, and not someone else, took home the Idol crown months earlier.
"They gets so into it, to this day!" Candice tells ABC News Radio. "I won on May 16th. This is December. People still tweet me, like, 'You shouldn't have won, Angie [Miller] should have won' or ' Kree [Harrison] is better than you.' And they think that we think that way. But we love each other -- they all support me and all that, so there's nothing going on there."
Even worse, Candice says that when she was out on the Idols Live tour this summer, she had to endure what she calls the "death stare" from audience members who were angry and resentful that she won the competition, and had the longest set on the tour. And facing them backstage, during meet-and-greet autograph sessions, was a tad uncomfortable, to say the least.
"It's so awkward to sign something for somebody that's just letting you sign it because you're going through this line -- they really don't want you to sign their stuff, but they give it to you because you're just standing there," Candice tells ABC News Radio. "Some people aren't good at hiding the fact that they don't like you; some people are like, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're really great...but we didn't want you to win.'"
But that's not to say that the tour itself was a bad experience; quite the opposite, says Candice.
"There are some awkward moments when you go out there and some people probably can't stand you, but that is the only thing [that was negative]," she says. "The tour was amazing, all of us got along the entire tour. We hung around with each other even when we weren't on stage and didn't have to be around each other; we wanted to be around each other. So it was a lot of fun."
What wasn't too much fun, Candice reveals, were those times during season 12 when the show was overshadowed by the constant sniping between, and rumors about, now-departed judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj .
"There was a lot of stuff [to deal with]," Candice tells ABC News Radio. "I mean, I woke up one morning and read an article about how Mariah Carey sent me to personality training because she wanted me to win on the [down] low!" She adds, "[There were] so many things that were going on. The stuff about Mariah and Nick...I could've done without the rumors and without the arguments."
Right now, Candice is looking forward to watching the new season of the show, and, of course, to the release of her album Music Speaks on February 18. She says she enjoyed making the video for "Cried," but acknowledges that it was a bit weird to be on the set of a video where she, and she alone, was the star.
"I got my hair and makeup done in the morning and then I walked on the set and it was like all one spotlight, like all on me and the lighting and everything, it was all there for me," she recalls. "And I've never sang like that, in front of a whole bunch of people just standing there, watching. But they were all there for me and wanted me to do a good job."
Look for Candice to appear at some point on the upcoming season of American Idol , which starts in January on Fox.

Counting calories, cutting carbohydrates and keeping up with your calisthenics can get monotonous. Now a new study offers a way to spice up your diet doldrums. Researchers have discovered that sex can be counted as a "significant" form of exercise, reported the Daily Express on Jan. 8.
Conducted in Canada, the study showed that you can burn as many calories in an hour of making love as in a 30-minute jog:
- Men burn 120 calories during 30 minutes of sex.
- Women burn 90 calories.
To conduct the study, University of Quebec researchers analyzed 20 couples who were told to have sex once a week for a month and jog on a treadmill for 30 minutes. The couples wore fitness trackers to determine the precise number of calories burned.
And when compared to other activities, researchers reported that sex is better for burning calories than taking a walk.
Want more ways to burn calories outside the gym? Try these:
- Do housework for 30 minutes to burn 266 calories.
- Vanderbilt University Medical Center researchers discovered that laughing for 10 to 15 minutes a day burns 40 calories.
- Sing to burn 136 calories an hour.
- Go shopping or clean out your closet and focus on changing clothes. Each time, you're burning 11 calories per garment.
And for ways to improve your weight loss that are diet-related:
- Drink eight pints of iced water to burn 123 extra calories (the amount needed to heat that water up to body temperature).
- Eat in front of a mirror. Researchers discovered that people ate one-third less food if they had to watch themselves eat.

WEDNESDAY, Oct. 12 (HealthDay News) -- Scientists announced
Wednesday that they have succeeded in sequencing the full genome of
the naked mole rat, an exceptionally long-lived and
cancer-resistant rodent.
While that might not sound like headline news, scientists say
the findings could provide insights into human aging and risks for
"If we can understand the genetic adaptations, we may be able to find treatments which can change the human into a more long-lived species," said Vadim N. Gladyshev, senior author of the study published online Oct. 12 in the journal Nature.
Another expert, Dr. Greg Enders, associate professor of medicine
at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, expressed enthusiasm.
"This paper is an interesting piece of work [and may provide]
useful hypotheses into how they can have such longevity and not
However, these ideas are still "all hypothetical in the future
and very controversial," added Gladyshev, director of the Center
for Redox Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard
Medical School in Boston.
On average, the naked (meaning hairless) mole rat lives more
than 30 years, or almost 10 times as long as a typical mouse. Not
only are they healthier for a longer period of time than other
rodents, they live underground in the dark, are cold-blooded and
can reproduce until they die. They do have poor vision,
"They have many unusual traits, and all of them are important in some way," said Gladyshev. "They are long-lived, live in low-oxygen conditions, are resistant to cancer, [and] don't maintain a stable body temperature."
In analyzing the genome of this remarkable mammal, the
researchers noted some similarities with other mammals. The number
of genes is about the same in naked mole rats (22,561), humans
(22,389), mice (23,317) and rats (22,841).
Many of the naked mole rat genes are also located in the same
place on the chromosome as human, mice and rat genes, the research
But in the naked mole rat, unlike in humans, there were few
differences in how the genes were expressed at age 4 and at age
There were eight cancer-related genes, one of which was the
protein P16. "This is one of the major human tumor suppressor
proteins, and it's clear that the naked mole rat has that protein
and upregulates it more rapidly in certain situations that probably
prevent cancer formation," Enders said.
The naked mole rat also produces less insulin than humans, has
adapted its circulatory system and metabolism to deal with a
low-oxygen environment and has few of the receptors that detect
bitter tastes. These adaptations may eventually yield clues about
living in extreme conditions, the researchers noted.
This research is just a start, Gladyshev said. "We and others
probably will now carry out experimental studies on some of these
findings to really understand in detail what this data means."

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- Derek Roy scored the decisive shootout goal in lifting the Buffalo Sabres to a 2-1 win over the Boston Bruins on Friday night.
Ryan Miller made 35 saves through regulation and stopped three of four shootout attempts in helping the Sabres improve to 3-0-1 in their past four games. Andrej Sekera scored for the Sabres, who are 8-3-2 in their past 13 games.
Zdeno Chara scored the tying goal 3:36 into the third period as the Bruins salvaged a point. Coming off a 4-2 win at St. Louis on Wednesday, Boston dropped to 8-9-2 in its past 19 games, a stretch in which it has failed to win consecutive games.

A man accused of killing his ex-girlfriend made another courtroom appearance Friday.
Police say Marquis Walker showed up to Jordan Jones' home at the Tamaron Apartments last October, shot her multiple times, then took off.

Samuel L. Jackson
He's best known for his strong presence on the silver screen but it turns out Samuel L. Jackson also has a soft side.
The "Pulp Fiction" actor will host a fundraiser for One For the Boys (a charity to educate men about male-targeting cancers) at the Victoria & Albert Museum during the first day of London Collections: Men.
Striking a pose on the red carpet, celebrities gathered in the Big Apple to join the Museum of the Moving Image's 28th Annual Salute Honoring Kevin Spacey on Wednesday (April 9).
Coming down the red road were Kate Bosworth and hubby Michael Polish, looking suave and very much in love as they made their way into the event.
It's going to be a profitable weekend for Marvel Studios and Disney, as their new superhero flick "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" made a killing at the box office last night (April 3).
Kicking things off with $10.2 million so far, the Chris Evans-starring movie is expected to bring in between $90 million and $100 million by the time Monday morning rolls around.
Stepping out for promotional duties, Samuel L. Jackson showed up at "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" last night (April 1).
During his interview, the "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" star took to the stage and performed a slam poem about the hit '90s television series "Boy Meets World."
With so many superhero movies saturating the market, the good folks over at Screen Junkies came up with a hilarious real look at the merits of "Captain America: The First Avenger."
Starring Chris Evans, the 2011 film was a commercial success despite its relative uselessness among the Marvel Studio peers.
Hoping to appeal to a huge international market, the stars of "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" headed to a press conference in Beijing, China on Monday (March 24).
Looking handsome as ever in a tan sweater and black pants was Chris Evans, while his gorgeous co-star Scarlett Johansson donned a pretty black and white ruffled dress. Nearby, Samuel L. Jackson chose a blue Asian-inspired outfit.
Giving the new movie a retro feel, a poster for "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" was released by comic book artist Paolo Rivera.
Commissioned by Marvel Studios, the poster reads " Chris Evans is Captain America 'The Winter Soldier'" and features images of the film's major characters.
Creating even more excitement around their anticipated film, the cast of "Captain America: The Winter Solider" attending the UK premiere on Thursday (March 20).
The lovely Scarlett Johansson covered up her growing baby bump in a crimson cocktail dress as she posed with Captain America himself, Chris Evans.
Keeping low profiles before their massive movie event, Chris Evans and Samuel L. Jackson arrived in London on the Eurostar in preparation for the UK premiere of "Captain America: The Winter Soldier."
Ready to head off to their respective hotels, the Marvel men each sported casual threads, looking a little disinterested as fans and cameras surrounded them upon their arrival.
Getting glammed up for one of the biggest movie events of the year, celebrities attended the Hollywood premiere of Marvel's "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" tonight (March 13).
First on the scene, Samuel L. Jackson himself showed up, just as tall and powerful as his alter ego, Nick Fury, followed by the stunning Scarlett Johansson, who was gorgeous in her frilly designer dress, sporting what looked to be the beginning of a baby bump!

Woodstock at 40: The Rise of Music Journalism
In August 1969, the Woodstock Art and Music Fair started as a festival of music, peace and love. In the end, it marked a moment when the news media first recognized music and entertainment as a cultural and commercial force.
The Newseum's new exhibit, "Woodstock at 40: The Rise of Music Journalism," features rarely seen photographs and artifacts from the historic music event. The exhibit was made possible through the generous cooperation of Rona Elliot and Genesis Publications, publisher of "Woodstock Experience," along with Woodstock executive producer Michael Lang, Brad LeMee and the family of Dan Garson, and Henry Diltz and Mark Goff.
Inside Media: Live from Woodstock
Guest: Barnard Collier
Forty years later, former New York Times reporter Barnard Collier, one of the few to cover the event, separated the facts from fiction and explained why Woodstock will continue to live on in music history.
Inside Media: The Road to Woodstock
Guest: Michael Lang
On Aug. 9, days before the 40th anniversary of Woodstock, its organizer Michael Lang offered Newseum visitors a revealing look at how one concert grabbed its share of headlines while capturing the social and political spirit of the decade.

I really dislike Stratos' new look. It just looks silly. Same with Skeletor's. The story seems OK. For now at least. I haven't been a huge fan of DC's version of MOTU.
Does it HAVE to reach 100%? That sounds...greedy. 91% should be enough.
I rather enjoyed the bible. A lot if awesome info that I hadn't seen before. Nice to see what would have been.
It's for the trade paper back of the comic.
I accidentally ordered 2 and if anyone wants it let me know, I'm asking what I paid for it. 10 bucks, plus 3 shipping so 13 in total. Lemme know.
FYI: This is for the comic book trade that just...
WHAT is that statue next to the Sorceress?

I'm still looking for this!
I believe it was only in limited edition SOTS dvds.
hahah these are awesome
Cool news, I'm ok with this, I hope the story is fleshed out a little bit. I've been looking at this whole thing as a AU tale and what not. I'm dying to know how they are going to handle Adora's...
It went over all three sets:
Question, the box set to the left of the anniversary set...the one with the 200X art on it...does anyone know WHAT set that is.
Complete with weapons...Make me an offer. Willing to trade for a BeastMan also.

Adora with everything seen here and the spare She-Ra head. The sword originally came with She-Ra.
Everything here but the havoc staff.....
Oooh. I'll check now, thank you!
I don't care if it's MIB or Loose or whatever, long as it's complete. PM me please if serious, can do paypal also.
Wish they gave us a clue about Teela, need her badly and I refuse to pay the outrageous online prices, but ended up nabbing a She-Ra.
I got mine! First figured I ordered from the site.
Ahhh okies, thank you very much for answering Jukka!
I noticed that there is a complete season collection for both seasons of the original series (As well She-Ra and the 200X versions) does anyone know if these come with their own art cards or what?
I'll ship anywhere.
Yes, I would like an artbook.
That's awesome!
That's pretty awesome! I can't wait to install it!

What do we do in the winter?
Here are some fun winter facts about Rooftop Ramble:
- Our chickens live in their coop on the rooftop all winter. Last winter each of our six chickens continued to lay one egg per day. Our chickens are hardy, northern breeds that do well in cold weather: Buff Orpington, Black Australorp, and Dominique. They seem to enjoy the cold weather much more than those hot, humid summer days!
- We grow grasses for our chickens in our greenhouse all winter so they continue to get fresh, green treats throughout the year. We also sprout seeds and grains for our ladies and prepare healthy winter chicken treats that include garlic, grapeseed oil and cracked corn. These foods keep them healthy and warm all winter.
- Last winter we had a nine foot snowman on the rooftop.
- Come up to the rooftop on January 3rd and 22nd to play "Snake Snake" a Native American winter game that has been played in Wisconsin for hundreds of years.
- Visit the Rooftop Ramble all winter for many cold weather surprises. You might even come up one day to discover an igloo and an ice skating rink!
- How many snow-cones were eaten at Rooftop Icicle Festival, 2011? 220
- Come visit on February 18th, 2012 to see if we can break that record!
