What is apple thinking????
Well, if you're prone to conspiracy theories, there's one that was posted about on MacSlash that posited that Apple (read: Jobs) has come to think of their GUI as an extension of their brand image - citing similarities between then look of their close-minimize-maximize widgets in OSX and the look of the iMac, and the look of the Sherlock/Aqua brushed-metal windows and the TiBook.. Then again, one of the comments to the story was "Gee, you just pulled a large and rigid conspiracy theory out of you a**." It does seem a little specious, to say the least, but it does appear to be what it happening weather or not the "conspiracy theory" is true or not..

You know what?
The trivial joke you sent
Through mobile interconnections
Sparked white anger
In my mind
So, you know what?
Fuck you.
"In the 3rd century, the Roman Empire, which at the time had not adopted Christianity, celebrated the rebirth of the Unconquered Sun (Sol Invictus) on December 25th—this holiday not only marked the return of longer days after the winter solstice but also followed the popular Roman festival called the Saturnalia (during which people feasted and exchanged gifts). It was also the birthday of the Indo-European deity Mithra, a god of light and loyalty whose cult was at the time growing popular among Roman soldiers."

Truth is, most of the time, inconvenient for many people.
I watched this one show until episode 6 (still waiting for the next), and, although I don't remember which episode it came from, this one line really struck me. It was from the main character's younger sister. She said: "Please don't hate me."
I'm still thinking about why it struck me.
I sailed through glass and was torn to pieces
My world turned over and the stars lost their shine
The empty bottle with the blank parchment
Will remain on my table top till the end of time

I don't know how many of us typically look at airport security guards as "heroes" so much as the people who instruct us to throw out our water bottles, but one airport security guard in Poland can 100 percent be called the former. Security agent Grzegorz Paczko was about 16 feet away from a father and baby when they were gathering their things up from the table after putting them through the x-ray conveyor belt. The father placed the baby on the table, and, because babies are wiggly, the baby fell off. But seconds before the kid hits the ground -- and I do mean seconds -- the security guard slides in out of nowhere and catches the little one. Seriously, it's crazy, and you need to see it. There hasn't been a catch like this since San Francisco Giants' Kevin Mitchell's '89 bare-handed catch.
(Yes, I just Googled "Best baseball catches ever.")
Pretty crazy catch, huh? He came out of nowhere -- and thank goodness he did, because that baby could have been seriously injured!

Parents, don't place your babies on countertops or anywhere high up. They're fast. Faster than you think. And wiggly. And odds are, when you're at home, there won't be a superhero airport security guard to swoop in and save the day.
Do you ever place your child on countertops? Do you ever put the Bumbo Seat on countertops?
Image via LiveLeak
I love how the dad just casually starts to set the baby back on the counter...thank goodness for that security guard
wow and he just casually finishes getting ready. I'd be all over the guard thanking him for helping me
WHAT A MORON. It didn't even looked like it phased him one bit, and he sets the baby RIGHT BACK ON THE TABLE. i cant tell if its the security guard that picks him back up from the table or the mother. but im sorry this man is a friggen jackass for doing that in the first place. i get that he needed to get his stuff back and jacket on, but common, do what pretty much every other mother does, hold the baby in one arm, grab the stuff in the other, and put one arm in the jacket and switch sides that the baby is on...i still cant get over the incompetence of this man.. i am so glad that security guard was there to catch that poor baby, that hard floor would have cracked his/her skull open.
To be honest, I would have handed the baby off to someone else and punched the dad in the face and walked away. Put the baby on the damn floor if you have to put them down! It's not like it was a CROWDED airport where the baby would be stepped on!
That was amazing.

Badwater Ultramarathon 2013
Shannon Farar-Griefer, 52, of Hidden Hills, California, lies by the side of the road during the Badwater Ultramarathon in Death Valley National Park, California July 15, 2013. The 135-mile (217 km) race, which bills itself as the world's toughest foot race, goes from Death Valley to Mt. Whitney, California in temperatures which can reach 130 degrees Fahrenheit (55 Celsius). Farar-Griefer, who has multiple sclerosis, was hoping for her sixth finish in the race, but dropped out near mile 58. Picture taken July 15, 2013. (Photo: Reuters)

Insu Peak on Bukhansan
|836.5 m (2,744 ft)
|South Korea
|Korean name
|Revised Romanization
Bukhansan, or Bukhan Mountain, is a mountain on the northern peripheries of Seoul, South Korea. At 836.5 meters above sea level and bordering a considerable part of the city, Bukhansan is a major landmark visible from most districts of the metropolis. The name "Bukhansan" means "Mountain north of the Han," referring to its location approximately ten kilometers to the north of the Han River. During the Joseon era, the peaks marked the extreme northern point of Seoul. Popular throughout the year, Bukhansan, and Bukhansan National Park is renowned for birdwatching, hiking and rockclimbing.
Mt. Bukhansan is the highest in Seoul, and attracts a large number of hikers from all over the nation. Apart from Mt. Bukhansan, there are seven mountains including Dobongsan and Suraksan that are over 600 meters high.[1]
Mt. Bukhansan is situated in the northern part of Seoul. Designated as a national park in 1983, the mountain is 78.45 km wide and has 6 districts and extends out into Gyeonggi-do Province. The name Bukhansan means "big mountain in the north," and it is also called Mt. Samgaksan. Mt. Bukhansan has such smooth curves that the large granite rocks sometimes look as if they would slide down the mountain. The sharp peaks provide contrast to the dozens of valleys and rivers flowing below. The mountain has many different kinds of peaks but its main peak is Baegunbong. The granite peaks blend well with trees, and there are about 1,300 kinds of animals and plants living on the mountain. Among the granite peaks, the best known is Insubong Peak's Giam rocks. The world famous granite rock peak Insubong is over 200m above sea level, and there are about 100 mountain paths leading to the rock. When you stand on Baegundae and look down, sometimes you can see as far as Seoul City and the Han River.
Bukhansan has a rich history as well. Silla's King Jinheung Sunsubi Monument on Bibong Peak, the Bukhansanseong Fortress built along the mountain's ridges, Sangunsa Temple built by the monk Won-Hyo, and numerous other temples occupy the mountain areas. Especially, Bukhansanseong Fortress is a must-see tour site if you are visiting the mountain. The fortress was built with a wall spanning about 8,500m, built specifically to stop foreign invasion. It is one of the representative mountain fortresses of the Joseon Era. In the fall, the view you can get from the fortress of the mountain is spectacular. Temples are also representative of rich culture that flourished on Bukhansan. The Seungasa Temple on the east Bibong Peak, with Maaeseokgayeoraejwasang (seated rock-carved Buddhas) carved into a 5m granite rock, and the Munsusa Temple located halfway up the Musubong Peak, with purified mountain water dropping from the ceiling of Munsugol Cave, are indicative of both Bukhansan's history and culture.
With its granite peaks and Bukhansanseong Fortress, Bukhansan is perfect for hiking in all seasons. In the spring, all kinds of flowers bloom, and in the summer, lush forests carpet the numerous valleys. The hiking path along the valley is perhaps the best summer mountain climbing course. And the fall is the perfect time to visit the temples and pavilions in their autumn colors. In the winter, the snow-covered mountain scenery is very beautiful. The park averages 5 million visitors and has received the Honor of being in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the national park with the highest number of visitors per square foot.[2]
There is a current movement to have the name of Bukhansan reverted. For many years up until now, the three main peaks of the park have collectively been called "Bukhansan"; however, the original collective name of the these three peaks was Samkaksan, meaning "three horned mountains". The head of the Gangbuk-gu District Office in Seoul is leading a petition to have the central government change the name back to the original.[3]

Yeah, downloading isn't something to be proud of.
hpulley wrote:
Zero bytes downloaded lifetime. I never, ever download. I don't even stream illegally anymore. I am 108% legit and buy discs, books, magazines, etc. to support the industry. If I want it forever I buy the discs. I only stream via legal sites. I don't even use VPN to get around regional licensing restrictions.
But I also only buy discs for series that get licensed for me to watch legally. I won't consider buying Little Busters or Jojo's Bizarre Adventure until they offer it for legal streaming. I 'vote' with my orders and really want to see all anime offered here so I only buy discs for shows which stream on Crunchyroll. If they want me to buy it they can damn well let me stream it legally to preview it from the best site around rather than making me get extra subscriptions.
Well said.
I don't have downloaded that I watch because I already have them on DVD/Blu-Ray so why bother wasting Hard drive space? Although, I do download shows that I have interest in using for amvs. That is, until I actually care to learn video editting and such.
[No information available]
About 20 gigs. I just wanted to save my bandwidth because I kept re-watching a couple of series over and over again over stream.
I am mad scientist! It's so coooool!!
i roughly have 1tb of anime stored on my HDD, but I buy blu-rays/DVDs nevertheless, though it is not always possible for me to attain the shows i like because here in good ol' germany there is just too few...
The only kind anime on my HD is hentai cause those rarely get over here. Though I do buy hentai manga legally since its easier to obtain. I find it a lil messed up now to download anime. Cause none of that goes to the company and in turn less of an possibility to get another season.
Ami even good at this sort of thing anymore?
whats up with this thread,
its like a joke or a trick question or something,
one should know that downloading anime is not kosher not unless it's one of those where you rip your digital copy into your pc .

Another possible legal source is stuff recorded from TV. I have many gigs of recordings transferred from my old Dish 510 DVR.
Too bad it was all SD. Dish SD was only 540 pixels in width for direct rips from the DVR hard drive. I had to resort to analog capture by for the more recent recordings before I dropped my satellite service, however, since the program I used wasn't update to account for some changes in the format.
I rarely watch any of it, but it is nice to go back and watch an episode or more when the fancy strikes. The biggest recent rewatch recently was re-watching my Code Geass: R2 recordings after re-watching the first series on CR before it was pulled.
Yes, that's my real age.
Now that you mention that .....
I do remember trying this one company that tried the download to own by paying per episode but the copy had a low resolution and I dont know whereI store it and that company didnt last .I even still have credits but I can tell you It didnt even reach near a 1 gig for sure.
Funimation is actually looking at that but its still has a lot of grey areas .
My Avatar is seiyuu Morita san and Me cosplaying and he is coming to AX
I don't store any anime I download, as soon as I watch it , I delete it
I find it to bad thing if you all you do is store anime on external hardrive and don't even bother to buy official releases =3=
Time to pose it out!!!!!! / / / Jojo Bizarre Adventure Fever
A long long time ago, before videos on the internet, the only way to watch anime was to mail VHS tapes to somebody you met at a convention, and they would make you a copy, and you would hope that it was good enough to read the subtitles on. Some of us have holdouts from when being able to download fansubs was a new and shiny experience and Sci Fi Channel was going to be the herald of anime in the west because they had just shown Iria ;)
Now, yeah, you can stream everything, no need to download.
I have 2 anime episodes of the PSN so I'm guessing around 2 gigs? And as for the people stealing gigabytes upon gigabytes of anime like they're free samples you should all feel ashamed, you're the reason the industry is dying.
Zero, Nada, Zilch, None... Never download it anime.
uhh i have 1 show downloaded which is Durarara!! But I bought it through the Playstation Network so I legally downloaded it. I never would have considered downloading it but the dvd parts were so expensive so it was cheaper to buy through the PSN. Otherwise I watch legal streams or I buy the dvds to support the shows I love.
I have downloaded about 108GB of anime.

There's not a lot of things that beat Thanksgiving Day. If you're most moms or wives, you get to see the fruit of your work on the smiling faces of your family members who give thanks (or should) to you and for your hard labor all day.
If you're my wife, Thanksgiving Day marks the first day she officially gets to celebrate the Christmas holiday and I no longer have an excuse to hold her back from her holiday spirit.
Think about it. You're going to put on an Indiana "state" wrestling tournament, and 24 teams in three classes will get invited. I wouldn't have to know anything about the rosters - which state placers are coming back, how many starters return, etc. ‑ to come up with a pretty fine tourney.
And, about the second or third team on my mind, after Evansville Mater Dei and Perry Meridian, would be Bellmont, right!

Girls are funny.
There can be no denying that the women-type are a lot different then the men and in ways that outnumber the stars that's a great thing. In particular, though, girls are vastly different in the way they play sports.
I suppose it boils down to priorities for most girls. When I was in high school (back when Star Wars: Episode III came out and it was supposed to be the last one), the girls in sports played for different reasons.

I'm going to keep my opinions on the election to myself despite an enormous strain on my conscience.
I decided instead to highlight some of the more interesting figures in the sports world who then transitioned to the political realm. No, Arnold Schwarzenegger will not make an appearance on this list. I know he's a body-builder but until they put the World Series of Body-Building on national television I just don't see the connection.

You really have to feel sorry for most college football fans; the real fans, fans of the big-time programs, anyway. They pay their 50 bucks a game — or $30 or $100, depending on the school — and get abused up one side and down the other.

You have to wonder who woke up Wednesday morning feeling worse.
Was it Richard Mourdock, the Republican Senate candidate from Indiana who stumbled ... badly ... before a live television audience Tuesday evening with his pronouncement that when a woman becomes pregnant during a rape, ''that's something God intended''?

One of the many benefits of blu-ray movies is that studios, knowing these will be the most pristine versions of their films, make the effort to insure that they are of the highest quality when it comes to how they look. One studio that has done this in spades is Disney. Their blu-ray and Diamond Editions are well worth the cost. And now they're releasing one of the classics to the Diamond Edition fold, CINDERELLA.

When one hears the words "boot camp," it conjures up thoughts of Marines crawling on their bellies in mud, running 15 miles, smashing into each other as a DI (drill instructor) screams and rants.
Not so the boot camp held for youngsters at Anytime Fitness on 13th St. last summer. This boot camp provided several forms of exercise and, equally important,
some education on nutrition.

As I started to write this week's column I was going to write about ROCK OF AGES. Then I thought why waste the space on something I didn't like much (although it did make me want to go seek out the music in my collection) when I could write about a small movie that was better? And more qualified for the Halloween season as well.
Thirty years ago this past summer, my Decatur Little League Senators were getting ready for the Adams County Little League Championship game. Just before the start of the game I noticed that veteran umpire George Thomas was cajoling my two best players, Guy Lee and Mark Hunter.
"I was just telling them that I'll be watching them and I won't put up with any of their antics," explained Thomas.

Nicole Harold works at the Western Laboratory which is one of the four state labs across Virginia. The labs work with local law enforcement to process evidences for crimes like rape.
"Any PERK that is submitted to our laboratory we will work," says Nicole Harold, DFS Western Lab.
A PERK is also known as a rape kit that consists of swabs and smears of evidence taken from the victim. A problem that's happened nationwide is some of these kits were used but never tested and put away because of budget cuts.
Here in the Commonwealth Forensic Labs are seeing a backlog as well. We checked with Virginia's Department of Forensic Science and they tell us that the Commonwealth has seen a thousand untested cases including rape in 2010. But so far this year, there's only a backlog of 111 sexual assault cases.
Some of the reasons for improvements are more employees and tools.
"In the past four years we switched to new instrumentation to work cases more quickly," says Harold.
We found out that at the Western Laboratory so far they have completed analyzing 96 sexual assault cases. The backlog is 23 cases and expected to be assigned quickly.
The average time for a case in backlog is about two to three months however certain cases will get tested sooner.
"In terms of sexual assault cases, we prioritize cases involving children typically we also prioritize cases involving strangers and higher levels of violence," says Harold.

These canyons were filled by glaciers at intervals during the million years of the Ice Age. This period saw the formation of vast ice fields over much of northern North America. The causes of the Ice Age are complex, but its effects on our landscape are marked and convincing.
Every large high-altitude canyon in what is now Rocky Mountain National Park became filled with snow, much of which, under pressure, turned to ice. Thus, the glaciers by their own great weight moved with slow but tremendous powerbroadening, deepening, and straightening the twists and turns of the original river-cut valleys. Great bowls, or cirques, were scooped out bit by bit at the glacier sources. These glaciers quarried and removed untold millions of tons of rocks from the upper reaches. Many of the cliffs and lakes of the park are the results of excavating done by the mountain glaciers.
These glaciers were entirely local; they did not extend down to the plains in this region. At what is now an altitude of about 8,200 feetjust below our present Moraine Park, Horseshoe Park, Wild Basin, and a few miles below Grand Lake in the Colorado River valleythe glacier fronts melted as fast as the ice advanced. It was there that most of the rock debris plucked from higher up was dropped. Piles of rock are scattered over most of the meadowlands of this general altitude. These rock deposits are called morainesridges. and heaps, or scattered masses, of unsorted rock debris dumped where they settled from the melting ice. Classic examples of moraines may be seen in Moraine Park, named for these special features. You can learn more about them at the Moraine Park Museum.
When climatic changes caused the glaciers to melt back faster than they advanced, the moraines, like modern dams, formed lakes behind them whenever stream drainage from the shrinking glaciers was checked. Several such lakes, now silted in and changed to green meadows, occupied lower regions in the park. In Horseshoe Park, lake-shore terraces of an Ice Age lake still remain. Near Wild Basin Ranger Station is Copeland Lake, occupying a basin believed to have been left by the melting of a huge block of ice buried in a mass of glacial debris. The pastoral beauty of the lower mountains, then, owes most of its quality to these now vanished glaciers.
The glaciers invaded the park valleys at least twice during the Ice Age. Usually, two distinguishable ages of moraines can be seen; the older and more extensive one is made up of well-weathered, "rotten" boulders and finer material, while the newer ones are scarcely altered at all. It is thought that the last great glaciers retreated only some 12,000 years ago. Indians lived on the plains at that time!
It is by no means certain that the Glacier Age is entirely a thing of the past. Five small "glacierets" of geologically recent originTaylor, Andrews, Tyndall, Rowe, and Sprague's Glaciersexist today in the park but are trivial when compared to the "kingsized" earlier glaciers. Since they are ice and they are moving (although very slowly), they are glaciers by definition. They are accessible only by arduous foot travel, but the first three are visible from heavily traveled roads and trails of the park.
The story of the geological events, as we have seen, is long but interesting. The landscape of today, we now realize, is transient. It is the contemporary product of processes which have been working day and night throughout geologic time. These processes will certainly continue into the future, and the present landscape will inevitably change. Every year sees some little modification here and there. These small changes are not linked in our thinking with the vast sweep of geologic time, probably because our own lives are so very short. With some reflection we seem to catch glimpses of eternity as we examine the ancient gray cliffs and mighty peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park.

Trish will shares her money-saving tips and strategies for feeding a houseful plus adding to a food storage plan. Trish has also been kind enough to share just some of her favorite big-family, frugal recipes here with us! Try some of these healthy, frugal, delicious, family-pleasing recipes in your home!
I can attest to the yummy-ness of these recipes! Trish and her lovely family have been to our home several times and we've been to their home as well. We made and enjoyed these dishes and breads and they definitely are family-pleasers! Micah's pancakes are the ones that our family uses as our standard pancake recipe.
In large bowl mix:
3 eggs
3 cups milk or orange juice
1/4 cup oil (1/2 cup oil for waffles)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Add all at once:
3-4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Mix well, allow to sit until bubbly. Stir, then proceed for cooking pancakes.
Not my original, but we love it!
1 large onion, diced
2 stalks celery, chopped finely
1 large carrot, chopped finely
1 green pepper, chopped
2 cups water
12 ounces tomato paste
16 ounces tomato sauce
1 Tablespoon parsley flakes
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard
1 teaspoon chili powder
Place all ingredients into slowcooker and cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4 hours. Leave lid cracked the last 1/2 hour of cooking time for thicker consistency.
Serve on whole grain buns, over whole grain toast, over brown rice or hot noodles.
This makes such a large amount you might want to half it, or freeze the leftovers and save time later!
Trish's notes: We omit tomato sauce and use 4 6-ounce cans tomato paste and refill each can twice for the water. You can use dehydrated veggies that you have rehydrated before adding. When using fresh veggies, we usually put them all through the food processor until pureed and then dump it all into the slowcooker. My kids don't like chunks. We really like this dish topped with cheddar cheese and served with tortilla chips.

1995 Chevrolet Corvette Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 14 reviews
The 1995 Chevrolet Corvette featured many changes, but is best remembered as the last year of the ZR-1. The ZR-1 was much-loved by its drivers and collectors, but the powerful car seemed to have priced itself out of the market; the only true difference between the ZR-1 and LT-1 was a more powerful engine. By this time, the LT-1s had grown so powerful and efficient that they were fast on the heels of the ZR-1s.
The base engine for 1995 was a 5.7-liter, 350-ci LT-1 V8, still rated at 300 horsepower, while the ZR-1 had an LT-5 engine rated at 405 horsepower. Changes for 1995 included strong brakes with larger front rotors and improved gas-charged shock absorbers.
The 1995 Corvette was selected to be the pace car for the Indy 500.

Books for a Summer Season: Some Recommended Reading
- Friday, June 07, 2013
2. Nathaniel Philbrick, Bunker Hill: A City, A Siege, a Revolution (Viking, 2013).
Americans tend to think in rather romantic terms of the revolution that gave birth to the nation. As Nathaniel Philbrick makes clear, there were no historical inevitabilities in play as the American colonists and the British Empire approached open war. Philbrick, a seasoned writer who knows how to tell a story, brings the Boston of 1775 to life in this book. He reveals a city at the center of some of the most momentous events of the modern world, but he gives careful attention to the cast of unforgettable characters that made Boston ripe for revolution. School children, at least those fortunate enough to be taught American history, often think of the Revolutionary War beginning at Lexington and Concord. But, as Philbrick shows, it was the full-scale Battle of Bunker Hill that made the revolution a war. Philbrick gives good attention to the debates and controversies that animated, infuriated, and eventually transformed loyal subjects of King George III into revolutionaries. The book begins with a 7-year-old John Quincy Adams standing next to his mother as he watched the Battle of Bunker Hill from a distance. You will not want to put the book down until you understand what that little boy saw on that day, and what it meant for the birth of the nation.
"The Revolution had begun as a profoundly conservative movement. The patriots had not wanted to create something new; they had wanted to preserve the status quo — the essentially autonomous community they had inherited from their ancestors — in the face of British attempts to forge a modern empire. Enlightenment rhetoric from England had provided them with new ideological grist, but what they had really been about, particularly when it came to the yeoman farmers of the country towns, was defending the way of life their forefathers had secured after more than a century of struggle with the French and the Indians. But something has shifted with the arrival of the new general from Virginia. As Washington made clear in his orders of November 5, 1775, his army was already moving in directions that would have been unthinkable to the New Englanders of old."
3. Lee Sandlin, Storm Kings: The Untold Story of America's First Tornado Chasers (Pantheon, 2013).
We now take the technological revolution in meteorology for granted. We expect to receive a timely warning from qualified authorities when severe weather approaches. We are thoroughly accustomed to watching hurricanes form far away in the eastern Atlantic and then gain in strength as they head towards North America. We assume that such knowledge has always been with us. But, as Lee Sandlin makes abundantly clear, when it comes to tornadoes, the inhabitants of North America have more often been victimized than previously understood. Storm Kings traces the story of America's experience with tornadoes, starting with colonial times when such whirlwind storms caught the attention of no less than Increase Mather, father of Cotton Mather. Sandlin then tells the remarkable tale of how Ben Franklin became the world's leading expert in electricity (for which he saw no predictable use) and how this eventually led him to try to understand the nature of storms, including thunder and lightning and the vast devastation that came from the events known to early settlers as the "Storm King." In telling the story, Sandlin traces the history of the American experience with tornadoes, painting in vivid detail the vast destruction, sheer terror, and unpredictability of these storms. He explains why North America, and the Great Plains and central portion of the United States in particular, experiences the vast majority of tornadoes known to humankind. Though tornadoes of some sort have appeared in other places of the world, only in the United States do they regularly appear in such strength, number, and intensity. In any given year, the United States will be visited by some 1,000 tornadoes. Most of these do little damage and are soon forgotten. A few, however, cause vast destruction and hundreds of deaths.

The Ohio Graduation Test is More Than a Test
by Thomas J. Lasley, II and William L. Bainbridge
The federal "No Child Left Behind" (NCLB) legislation is impacting the landscape of educational policy and practice. Regrettably, whether that impact is perceived as positive or negative depends, to a certain extent, upon one's ideological worldview.
One of the most critical and political features of NCLB relates to testing. Specifically: the United States is undertaking a massive assessment endeavor that will begin to dramatically impact young people's lives over the next few years. Indeed, some critics of NCLB quip that it is really the NCLU legislation - - No Child Left Untested. Others claim it is like a farmer trying to fatten cattle by weighing rather than by feeding the animals.
Stories abound about what all the high-stakes testing means for Ohio students. Some writers predict massive student failures; others suggest the outcomes are still understandably murky; still others, such as a story in the Tennessean suggest, that "there is [likely] no connection between high stakes tests and lower graduation rates [and dire consequences]."
What to believe? Who to believe?
The push toward standards, assessment and accountability started 20 years ago with the now famous ?A Nation at Risk? report. The authors of that document claimed the well-being of America was being eroded by a rising tide of mediocrity - - practices such as "whole language" and "social promotion" were compromising the capacity of schools to effectively deliver instruction and enhance student achievement.
A room full of published reports erupted over the next two decades. Those reports suggested every conceivable type of solution, but the one most evident and the one most Ohio parents will experience is the high stakes testing requirement, specifically the Ohio Graduation Test (OGT).
Starting next year students across the Buckeye state will be taking the OGT and their ability to pass that test will dictate whether they can graduate from high school. Students in the Class of 2007 are the first who must pass the OGT to graduate. Debates are now occurring about the content of the OGT and the process for determining who passes and who fails. In early administrations of the tests, intended to establish cut-off scores, far too many students failed and especially far too many students of color performed poorly.
Psychometricians are now, with others, ?playing? with the tests, but the reality of the OGT is not something one can wish away.
The questions are:
* Will Ohio's tenth graders be ready?
* Are Ohio's schools adequately preparing students for success? And,
* Is there anything that can be done to mitigate the likelihood of an educational policy disaster?
Our answers: No, No, and Maybe.
First No: Ohio's ninth graders are not now ready for the tests. Ohio, like other states, is slowly aligning its systems of standards, assessment and accountability. But there is still room for growth and that ?growth? is where many students will fall between the cracks (i.e., fail).
The conservative Thomas B. Fordham Foundation rated Ohio's accountability system and assessed the newly implemented standards as being solid, but test alignment and content was rated fair. Even granting that foundations such as Fordham may be ?over the top? in terms of expectations, it is still reasonable to assume some credence in what such critics assert.
Hence, is it reasonable to expect Ohio's students to be ready if the state system of standards and assessments is still ?in the growth process??
Second No: Ohio's schools are still not adequately preparing students for the OGT. The number of culprits responsible for this circumstance are too numerous to note, but pick your "favorite" educational agency or institution, point the finger, and you'll likely be right. There is, as the saying goes, "blame enough to go round."
As examples, teacher education institutions are still uneven in terms of the quality of preparation experiences. And, schools, especially urban schools, are just now beginning to identify practices that can make a difference (in content areas such as reading and math), but they often lack the requisite resources for effective professional development to ensure that all teachers possess the needed skills.
So, the state is now getting its act together (thanks to efforts such as the Governor's Commission on Student Success) and educational institutions are still not operating as they should (thanks to far too many weak and ineffective links in the educational chain), but the OGT is still going to be administered.
The outcome will not likely be ?pretty.? In trial tests of the OGT in reading and math more than 75 percent of ALL students who took the test failed.
That brings us to What to do?
Clearly, Ohioans want the high school diploma to mean something. It should and must be more than a seat-time credential.
The State Board of Education's Task Force on Quality High Schools in their draft report proffered two fixes and we add a third:
* Use end-of-course assessments, based upon a rigorous curriculum, rather than a single high school exit exam. Exit exams in core subjects are becoming increasingly popular. Though problems have emerged in some cities (Houston, Texas) where required exit exams in core courses are in place, the use of exit exams holds promise and the state should act to find ways to utilize the exit exam approach
* Create an appeals system for students who fulfill the requirements of a rigorous curriculum, but who cannot pass the OGT. Other states have done this with some success; Ohio should embrace the approach. There will always be some students who know the content, but cannot pass the test. While we cannot explain why that is the case, it is clear that such is a reality. Ohio's system needs to be open enough to ensure that a student who cannot test is not tested beyond his or her limits.
* Create more secondary school structures that meet the unique learning needs of the diverse student populations now in secondary schools. Some urban school districts are already beginning to make this change. Secondary students can go through high school in many different ways that are not at all typical of the traditional comprehensive high school. If the goal is to help all students learn to their potential and to a set of agreed upon standards, then Ohio needs to become a leader in what the future ?face? of high school looks like.
Why all the fuss about options and alternatives? Why not just set the standard and hold students accountable? The reason is that no one really knows what will happen. Jay P. Greene, a Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, asserts ?the sky doesn't fall when states adopt exit tests.? Indeed, he argues ?you might think that if you adopt some barrier to graduation, the [dropout] rates will go down - - but they don?t!? Sounds good!
The Washington, D.C. based Center on Education Policy, however, comes to a different conclusion. In a report issued in 2002, CEP reported: "The relationship between exit exams and dropout rates has been studied more extensively. Many, but not all, studies suggest that exit exams are associated with increased dropout rates?"
Who is right? No one really knows. What is known is that Ohio can create a system that has the complexity and sophistication Ohio's young people deserve ? one based on more than one test score and one that requires assessments in more than one educational context.
Without solutions, good solutions, it is likely large numbers of students will just not make it, they will dropout. We already have that circumstance. Ohio's goal must be to create something better and that means more than a test must be put in place.

Staffer Beauty Snoop: Beauty Intern Leah Cayson
Written on January 5, 2012 at 9:34 am , by Fitness Magazine
This week, new Beauty Intern Leah Cayson spills the details on her beauty style and can't-live-without-it product picks.
Describe your beauty style in three words or less: Feminine, classic and polished.
What are the three beauty products you can't live without? Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes, Benefit They're Real! Mascara and Clinique Long Last Glosswear SPF 15 in Bamboo Pink
What's your beauty routine in the morning? After showering, I cleanse my face with Clean & Clear Advantage 3-in-1 Exfoliating Cleanser and moisturize with Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturizer. I comb my hair and apply L'Oréal Professionnel Serie Expert Force Vector Thermo Active Treatment. I love this product because it doesn't feel like I have anything in my hair and it protects my strands while I blow-dry. While I allow my hair to absorb that product and air-dry a little, I apply makeup. I constantly change up products, but always use my three "can't-live-without" products, above. After I apply my make-up, I blow dry my hair and I'm ready for the day!
At night? I take my makeup off with the Neutrogena wipes, above, then apply the same cleanser and moisturizer that I use in the morning.
Post-workout? I haven't mastered the post-workout glow. I usually look like I jumped in a pool when I'm finished working out, so I have to shower!
What beauty product or treatment instantly makes you feel good? My bi-weekly manicures and pedicures always make me feel great! I love playing with color and it just makes me feel good when my fingers and toes are bright and shiny.
What's the best beauty tip you've ever received (or thought of yourself)? I've always thought people are more attractive when they smile, so I love for my teeth to be pearly-white. I floss and brush my teeth twice a day and use whitening strips when I feel like my teeth aren't as gleaming as they could be.

Splurge or Steal?
Written on April 18, 2011 at 7:29 am , by Fitness Magazine
One of the perks of being the intern de jour is that you get to try out all the latest beauty loot. With full access to the overflowing beauty closet, I've found a number of must-have products that I swear by. Here, I'm dishing about which are worth the splurge and which of these bargain beauty products are just as good as their high-end counterparts.
STEAL: L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara
I have always lusted after thicker lashes and seem to be on a never-ending search for the best volumizing mascara. When I caught wind of a product that boasted "millionizing lashes", I had to try it for myself. To my delight, L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara ($9) delivers exactly what is promised perfectly separated full lashes. This is a magic wand worth investing in!
SPLURGE: Givenchy Le Prisme Blush
Being a poor college student, I try to resist spending temptation, but when you love something this much it seems worth the splurge. Givenchy Le Prisme Blush ($44) is the perfect mix of colors to brighten up more than just my dull skin, but my whole day: When you look better, you feel better!
STEAL: John Frieda Root Awakening Hair Spray
After styling your hair, just a couple spritzes of John Frieda Root Awakening Non-Aerosol Hair Spray ($6.49) will keep it in place through the night. This lightweight, non-sticky spray is also enriched with vitamins that promote strong strands.
SPLURGE: Clinique Redness Solutions Targeted Corrector
This is my skin crisis go-to stick. I have tried tons of concealers, and nothing compares to this handy little wand. The yellow tint helps neutralize redness on blemishes and around your nose. Although it's a tiny tube, a little of Clinique Redness Solutions Targeted Corrector ($19.50) goes a long way.
STEAL: Victoria's Secret Minerals Lip Gloss in Bare
A swipe of gloss can work wonders, especially if you don't have much time to spend on your makeup. One of my favorite finds in the beauty closet is Victoria's Secret Minerals Lip Gloss in Bare ($10). It's the perfect neutral hue to keep my look work-friendly yet pulled together.

Find A New Favorite Fragrance
Written on November 24, 2010 at 12:10 pm , by Eleanor Langston
In our November/December issue (on stands now!), I wrote a feature about how your workout of choice can lead you to a perfect-for-you perfume pick. Researchers say that the part of the brain that's linked to your sense of smell has a direct connection to your personality and exercise preference.
In the issue, we have fragrance finds for active readers who love to hike, run, spin and practice yoga, but we had to drop one exercise category from the layout: dancing. Read on to sniff out a new signature scent for the season!
Your Workout: Dancing
Your Fit Fragrance: Gourmand
If you love ballet, jazz, hip-hop, or even Zumba classes, chances are you enjoy being in tune with your body. And scrumptious food-inspired fragrances take the cake in terms of increasing your self-esteem. "Because they're often associated with positive, nostalgic feelings, research suggests that these sweet scents can raise your endorphin levels, making you feel better about yourself," explains Alan Hirsch, M.D., of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago. Try these yummy, but still subtle, scents:
- Victoria's Secret Dream Angels Heavenly Stardust ($49, Victoria's Secret stores) has comforting traces of caramel and praline.
- The star note in Pure DKNY ($80, dkny.com) is vanilla, which smells fresh, thanks to hints of creamy sandalwood.
- Mary Kay Thinking of You ($30, marykay.com) sweetens skin with delish dashes of tonka bean, vanilla, and sugar.

Posts tagged: ombudsman
Spokane's first police ombudsman will soon be out of a job, and the city may be without a permanent replacement for several months.
Mayor David Condon has decided not to renew Ombudsman Tim Burns' three-year contract that expires Aug. 24, said City Administrator Theresa Sanders. He will keep his job, however, until Oct. 31.
Sanders said Condon was uncomfortable extending Burns' stay for the long term because the position is likely to change. The city's Use of Force Commission is due to release its final recommendations for a reformed police oversight model next month. Condon also has said he will select a new police chief by the end of this month.

Spokane's police ombudsman on Monday lost the power to independently investigate misconduct allegations against the city's law enforcement officers.
The Spokane City Council voted 5-2 Monday to repeal police oversight rules it approved unanimously last year, blaming an arbitrator's decision in July that determined the expanded powers violated the Spokane Police Guild's labor contract.

Aug. 23: Council debates police oversight rules
Spokane City Council members suggested they may need voters to save the stronger police oversight rules they approved last year, by working to place the concept on the ballot.
Passions were high during the council's Monday meeting as they discussed overturning police oversight rules. The debate included a few shouting matches between attendees and Council President Joe Shogan.
Read the rest of Jon Brunt's story here.
Past coverage:
An arbitrator this week revoked a law that strengthened Spokane's police ombudsman powers because the city did not consult the Spokane Police Guild before it was approved last year.
The decision by arbitrator Michael H. Beck effectively reverses rules that strengthened the ability of police Ombudsman Tim Burns to investigate alleged officer misconduct independently of police. The opinion was dated Monday; the city received it Tuesday.
The power to examine police wrongdoing separate from the police department's own investigators is a change in working conditions that must be negotiated with the guild, Beck ruled.

Christianity Recedes in Europe ... Is America Next?
- Friday, August 19, 2005
"I don't go to church, and I don't know one person who does." That statement, taken from Brian Kenny, a 39-year-old graduate student in Dublin, Ireland, launches readers of USA Today into a consideration of Christianity's receding influence in Europe.
In "Religion Takes a Back Seat in Western Europe," USA Today considers the rapid pace of secularization in Western Europe, and the social, moral, and political impact that has resulted from Europe's loss of faith.
The newspaper obviously believes that something important is at stake in this analysis, for this article by Noelle Knox appeared on the front page of the August 11, 2005 edition of the paper. As it stands, the article offers considerable information and insight. Something remarkable and newsworthy has taken place in Western Europe over the last two decades. Once the very cradle of Christian civilization, Europe has embraced a secular future, and the residual memory of the Christian tradition is fading fast.
For at least half a century, researchers have been observing massive shifts in Western cultures. The increasingly secular shape of European civilization has been evident for some time, though a realization of this can sometimes come as an explosive insight. When Brian Kenny reported, "I don't go to church, and I don't know one person who does," he understood that something had changed. "Fifteen years ago, I didn't know one person who didn't," he reflected.
Can't Ignore Stats
The statistics documenting European secularization are now impossible to ignore. Ireland, still one of the least secular nations in Western Europe, has seen church attendance fall by at least 25 percent over the last three decades. Ireland is predominantly Roman Catholic, of course, but the paper reports, "Not one priest will be ordained this year in Dublin."
On the Protestant side, the picture is not much better. Switzerland, Germany, and the Netherlands, once the cradles of the Reformation, are now prime examples of Europe's secular shape.
Throughout the European continent, Islam is the only religion growing in the number of adherents. According to the Center for the Study on Global Christianity, at the Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in suburban Boston, the decline in Christian influence "is most evident in France, Sweden and the Netherlands, where church attendance is less than ten percent in some areas."
Why has this happened? Ronald Inglehart, Director of the World Values Survey in Sweden, suggests that Christianity has been a comfort to people in times of crisis. "For most of history, people have been on the borderline of survival," he explains. "That's changed dramatically. Survival is certain for almost everyone (in the West). So one of the reasons people are drawn to religion has eroded."
In other words, Mr. Inglehart believes that religion fulfills a social function. Once that function is no longer needed, the entire structure of Christian belief becomes unnecessary.
This kind of reductionism is now common in the social sciences, where religious faith is seen in functional terms rather than in theological categories.

News Feed: May 13Carol Blymire loved the behind-the-scenes bromance at the 2010 JBF Awards. [Alinea at Home] What's on the menu at Anita Lo's new restaurant? Feng shui. [WSJ] Francis Lam weighs in on the Marc Forgione–Ron Lieber feud. [Salon] Where to find classic sodas in the Bay Area. [SF Gate]
Carol Blymire: Colicchio vs. EaterThere are a lot of old-school food media here—mixed in with bloggers and websites—so I asked tonight's Outstanding Chef Award winner Tom Colicchio about what new media can learn from the legacy of professional journalists. "It's all about responsibility. There are some websites out there that write and post the most horrible untruths about chefs and restaurateurs. I mean, they do a Deathwatch column. That's so irresponsible and wrong. These chefs employ hardworking people who depend on an income...I guess some bloggers and websites just think they can do whatever they want with no regard for the truth." Colicchio did say there are some websites and bloggers out there doing good work (and I appreciated—and nearly swooned over—the nod and finger-pointing he directed my way when he said it). But when it comes to a media legacy, whether it's in the food world, business, entertainment, politics, or finance, Colicchio says we need to be respectful of the facts. It's no secret Colicchio has a long-standing disdain for Eater.com, so when we asked if he'd grant Eater an interview tonight, he said he wouldn't...that he'd rather just walk away. Ouch.
Carol Blymire: Shut UpBig scandal: the folks from Shut Up, Foodies LOVE RAMPS. True story.
Carol Blymire: Backstage with David KinchDavid Kinch, Manresa, is backstage with his girlfriend, the lovely Pim. Kinch, who won Best Chef: Pacific, loves the weight of his medal. He keeps holding it up against his knuckles, saying it is heavy enough to be a lethal weapon. He might need a weapon to fend off fans if he went on a cross-country road trip with his friend, Eric Ripert. Kinch says traveling wih Ripert would be awesome because "that charming accent and his good looks will open all kinds of doors. And, he's the only Frenchman who will eat barbecue."
Carol Blymire: Chef LoveThere is so much chef love backstage and in the press room. Great to see the collegiality, handshakes, and hugs. It's a fun brotherhood to watch. Wonder where all the women chefs are....?
Carol Blymire: Grant Achatz? Also My HomeboySporting some hot Ermenegildo Zegna shoes, chef Grant Achatz (with his lovely girlfriend, Heather) heckled me as I tried to ask him some very serious questions: Q: What if I told you part of your presentation was that you had to dance across the stage with Kate Gosselin? A: :::::crickets::::: (eyes rolling) Q: What's your guilty pleasure when it comes to food? A: Ice cream. Any flavor. Q: What superhero power do you want most? A: (answered by his girlfriend) X-Ray vision!!!!!! Q: What did you have for breakfast? A: Juice and pizza from room service. Q: What's your favorite swear word? A: Carol, I don't swear. (At this his colleague, friend, and business partner Nick Kokonas busted out laughing. For a good five minutes.) Q: When can I come have drinks at Aviary? A: Soon...very soon.
Carol Blymire: BIG NEWS from Grant AchatzGrant Achatz and partner Nick Kokonas told me backstage that they have launched NextRestaurant.com; a cocktail lounge called Aviary is also on the way. Opening fall 2010.
Carol Blymire: Thomas Keller is My HomeboyI had a chance to stroll with the one, the only, Thomas Keller. My Internet godfather. I asked him who would win an arm wrestling contest between Mario Batali and Eric Ripert, and he said it depended on a ton of variables: the time of night, how much gin had been consumed, and a host of other things he wouldn't divulge. Then we got serious for a minute (no, we didn't) and I asked him if he could have one superhero power, what would it be? His answer? The ability to fly, of course. The last book he read was The Shack and the last movie he saw was Avatar.
Carol Blymire: Jonathan BennoJust spent a few minutes with former Per Se chef Jonathan Benno, who is set to open his new as-yet-unnamed restaurant right here at Lincoln Center in September—just in time for Fashion Week. Tonight Jonathan is serving a rustic yet lovely vitello tonnato "sandwich;" my sources tell me he has spent many hours back at his old stomping grounds, getting everything ready to make all 1,500 of them.

The three Bourne singles players cruised to victory and the two doubles teams wrapped things up in a 5-0 victory for the Lady Canalmen (9-9) over Seekonk on Monday, May 19, to end the regular season and earn BHS a spot in the state tournament.
Bri Girouard was a 6-1, 6-2 winner at first singles, while Sarah Buck (6-0, 6-0) and Abby Pomeroy (6-0, 6-0) swept their opponents at second and third singles. Gabby Siroonian and Molina Oung won at first doubles 6-4, 6-2 and Allene Gallerani and Nora Center went three sets in winning 6-3, 5-7, 7-5.
"I am extremely proud of the girls' varsity tennis team for qualifying for the state tourney for the first time in seven years," coach Andrew Arki said. "They played hard all season and it came down to the last regular season match to get into the tourney. The win Monday was particularly sweet because it was the first time all season that we swept our opponent by a score of 5-0. Our team definitely improved all season, and upon reflection the most important match that helped us qualify was our 3-2 win over Dighton-Rehoboth on the road, a team that is always tough to beat. In addition, we lost 3-2 twice this year to Old Rochester, a much improved performance to the 5-0 losses we suffered to them last season. I look forward to training hard this week and putting in a solid performance in the tourney."
The MIAA will announce the Division 3 state tournament pairings in girls' tennis on Tuesday, May 27.

Valdosta - Little Rett McLeod looks like a healthy, happy three-year-old. "He loves to go outside, he loves to get in the water, he likes to swim," said Kip McLeod, Rett's Father.
But since June, Rett hasn't done any of those things. That's when he was diagnosed with a type of cancer called neuroblastoma. "It's a mass of cancer cells that grows from the adrenal glands which sit on top of the kidneys," said McLeod.
Most of his time now is spent in a small room at Shand's Hospital in Gainesville. He couldn't take part in our story today because he's taking treatment. "He's lost all his hair, he's sore, he has bone pain because it is in his bone marrow," said McLeod.
Rett's medical bills are stacked high. "We've been told anywhere from $300,000 to half a million dollars worth of bills," said McLeod. But Friday, Kip's friends and co-workers are helping out with a barbecue benefit. "It's port-a-pit barbecue with all the side and they can pick it up at the Lowndes County Board of Education," said Jennifer Hattaway, Organizer.
So far, they've already raised about $6,000 and are expecting a huge crowd. "We think we'll have about 3,000 and hopefully more will come when they hear about it," said Hattaway.
It's a chance to enjoy a tasty meal and help a sick little boy along the way.

I'm hoping to get a new mic soon which might help with the volume issue. I'm an extremely soft spoken person in general, so that's actually me speaking what I'd consider loudly into my mic. I'm hoping I can find a more sensitive mic that might help with that or a better audio manager that'll better adjust the volume.
As for the music, yeah, I was having a bit of a problem getting that timing down perfectly. It's possible that there's some more setting that could have helped or just having a better program to deal with it since I felt that what I was using was fairly limited from what I could find. It'll be something I work on for the future.
Thanks for the feedback guys! Less than three you! (Since less than signs can't be used in WoW Insider comments for some strange reason (Probably HTML coding))

How did the whole Ann Romney/Hilary Rosen mommy war turn into a so-called "working" moms vs. "stay-at-home" moms debate? I think it's partly Hillary's clumsy "never worked a day in her life" comment. Regardless, the conversation has been framed all wrong.
The real issue with Ann Romney relating to "real" American women on behalf of Mitt is her wealth, plain and simple. It's not about being a SAHM. She has not led a typical life. And the stresses she has faced as a wealthy mother of five boys are just the tip of the iceberg compared with the stresses most women face every day.
We could compare the life of a single mom who pulls a night shift at the hospital with the life of a married mom who spends her days shuttling her kids to and from ballet and soccer in a new minivan through manicured suburbs and we would still not come close to the differences between Ann and the rest of us.
Ann Romney isn't just well off. She's WEALTHY wealthy. Forget never having to worry about paying for health insurance, saving for her kids' college, having to choose between food or diapers. She's way beyond that. Wealthy enough to hire a Downton Abbey-sized crew of people to care for the $10 million house in New Hampshire, $895,000 townhouse in Belmont, and $12 million property in La Jolla (a tear-down to make room for a 11,000 square foot house -- good thing they got rid of the mansion in Deer Valley because that was really too many servants). Wealthy enough to hide the number of horses she owns from her husband. Wealthy enough to hire someone to keep track of the bills for her.
Now there's nothing wrong with being stinkin' rich. As Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof puts it, "If money is a curse, than may God smite me with it -- AND MAY I NEVER RECOVER!" But it does create a special challenge for relating to the pressures regular parents face.
Wealthy, privileged moms in America work hard, too. But not at the same stuff we do. And not with the same pressures.
Do you think the Ann Romney war is just a distraction from the real issues women face?

and the Obama's has more money than the Romneys but hey let's ignore that little fact.
This has nothing to do with wealth. This has everything to do with being the wife of the (potential) Republican candidate for president. The Democrats did the exact same thing to Sarah Palin in 2008 in reverse. She was lambasted for being a working mom. I thought that the women's movement was about CHOICE. Well, now it seems that if Republican women don't make the correct choice, Democrats pounce and rip them to shreds. The funny thing is this -- the correct choice changes whenever the Democrats say so. Palin was wrong to be a working mom with five children. Romney is wrong to be a stay-at-home mom with five children. Okay, then, what's the right answer? Oh, I know -- become a Democrat. No thanks; I'd rather have the choice to be a Republican and raise my children how I (yes, I) see fit.
Hilary Rosen's irresponsible and insensitive comment has definitely caused a distraction from the real issue.The issue is Mitt Romney going to his wife as a way to relate to the average woman.Ms.Rosen probably could have made some very good(but still debatable)points as to Ann Romney not being an "average"woman just like Mitt not being an "average"man if she left out the "work" part.All moms work.Once you choose to be a mom you are choosing to work wether it's in the home or not.I've done both and they are both very difficult and not something to be taken lightly.I was a SAHM for 15 years and was treated with so much disrespect not by single parents but by married couples that both worked outside of the home and had loads of material things that I chose not to have so that I could stay at home and not pay for daycare.I was told that" everyday is a vacation for you" and was constantly asked "so have you found a real job yet?".I know there are also women that work outside the home,have their kids in daycare and are ridiculed for that too.I have respect for all caring people raising children and it's sad that this should even be debated.I would love to see more SAH dads.Whatever works for your family.
My problem with this whole thing is firstly it is a distraction and secondly most of us working moms are not working because we choose too but because we have to. I wish my husband was wealthy and I could stay home and raise my children but that is a privilege I don't have so I go to work like many many other women who would rather be home with their children but we are not lawyers, CEO's,and doctors just average working moms.
As a single parent who works nights so I don't have to work second and can see my kids every day. As a single mother that after my divorce knew poverty so deeply that there were nights when all I had was rice and water to feed my kids, where the four of us slept in a car behind my work because I couldn't get approved for an apartment. I have seen the darkest side of poverty and thankfully they are behind me. Yet, to me Mitt and Ann Romney are no different than any other politician and wife.
I have met with politicians that "wanted to understand the working class" or "supported women's issues" but they don't get it. What working class and single parents need is affordable and safe child care and access to an education. These are the things that change lives and open doors.
That said, I'm sure Ann works very hard taking care of her family and supporting her husband.
The article and comment proves that most women have trouble relating to each other. I don't think the Romneys know a damn thing about what the AVERAGE American deals with in everyday life because they don't live the same way. I also think the comment from her makes her come off as an jerk because it has nothing to do with the argument at hand. II don't think she meant it the way it was taken either. The commenters saying that none of the first ladies or potential first ladies can know what it's like for the rest of us are right but those women aren't trying to tell us they do either.
Darlene. Good for you. But if you believe for even ONE MINUTE that your success had everything to do with virtue and hard work, and not also a tremendous amount of luck, you are simply so out of touch with reality, its shocking.
I have done it all. I've been a working mom, I've been a stay at home mom (my favorite job by far) and now I am a single working mom because my husband decided after 15 years that being a grownup was overrated, and left me and the kids so he could go back to the college life with a college girlfriend.
I've lived within my means this entire time, thankfully, so I am able to support my two kids alone now. But its hard. I barely make it. And we have no cable, no smart phone, no fancy gadgets like ipads. But we're happy and we're together.
Using words like "moral compass" to describe your OWN choices are nothing short of judgments against others who are fighting like hell to do the best for their kids. You should feel ashamed.
As far as those who think no other first lady probably has a sense of what its like to raise an "average family" - um - our current first lady didn't even have a bedroom growing up. She and her brother slept in the living room.... their family lived in a one bedroom apartment - they separated the living room with a sheet as a makeshift wall for privacy. I would say Mrs.Obama DEFINITELY understands what it is like.
I create a special savings account
I put a little away at a time
I cut corners until I can afford it
Save? Who has money to save?
I plan to put it on my credit card and love the benefits of the reward program
