My Son Likes Makeup ... So What?!
He loves my makeup, bracelets and even my blonde wig ... What's the big deal?!
Momlogic's Jenny: When my grandmother bought my son a play kitchen for his first birthday, my husband was not too thrilled. "A kitchen?! For a boy? Shouldn't he be playing with trucks?" I knew what he was implying. The idea of a boy in the kitchen is girly, wimpy ... gay.
"Um, Wolfgang Puck, Bobby Flay, Tyler Florence ... hardly gay," I say. "Not to mention, you yourself love to cook and are currently using up space on TiVo recording 'Iron Chef.'" It was true. And once he saw our son's fascination with the kitchen (which seemed to be mostly about opening and closing the drawers, and less about creating the "perfect table-scape"), he got over this irrational concern ... until recently ...
A couple of months ago, while I was getting dressed to go out, my son was playing on the floor next to me and started to get antsy. I gave him a puzzle. Didn't want it. I gave him a remote control. Didn't want it. I gave him my phone. Didn't want it. He pointed towards my bangle: Yahtzee. The big gold bracelet that gets his mommy tons of compliments was what he wanted. From that point on, when he sees my bracelets he goes bananas. He loves to walk around with them on and he even calls them "Braysh." In fact, I often carry an extra "Braysh" with me when we're out, to use as a distraction. My husband wishes he was more interested in playing with his football or blocks, but I don't think it matters. My son doesn't know that bangles can dress up an outfit or complete an outfit. He doesn't know that some of my most beloved bangles are from Forever 21 or Target!
Who cares if he loves my bracelets and also loves my makeup?! When I'm getting ready for work, he likes to come in to the bathroom with me and begs for my blush brush, which he proceeds to "brush" himself with (mostly on his head). Not only is it cute, but the fact that he's seen me doing the same thing and is mimicking me, I think happens to be pretty smart. He loves playing "make-up" with me so much that I've designated an old brush to him to keep in his toy chest in the bathroom. My husband gets annoyed every time he sees him with the blush brush, but I really don't think it's a big deal. He doesn't actually know it's makeup and know it's "for girls," so what's the difference?!
An even newer obsession is playing with a blond wig that someone left at our house on Halloween. As a joke, my husband put it on our son's head one afternoon and now every time he sees it, he wants to wear it. He gestures for us to put it on him and walks around saying "Hat, hat." Again, I think the fact that he knows it's something you put on your head and associates it with hats is brilliant -- and the furthest thing from "gay." He doesn't know that my sister used it for her Playboy Playmate costume. He doesn't know that wigs are for trannies and obnoxious Atlanta housewives (hello, Kim Zolciak!)
All in all, I really don't think any of this is going to make my son suffer from an identity crisis and it's certainly not going to turn him gay! That's not to say that I am going to encourage my son to grow up wearing makeup or playing with mommy's accessories, but I really don't think taking it away or making a big deal out of it is an option either. I know he'll grow out of it and will soon be digging through mud and collecting spiders. At this stage, boys want to be like their mommies and for the time being, I'm going to relish in his fascination with all things ME. Now, if he gets older and I find him wearing my f*** me Oscar De La Renta boots, well, that's whole other story ...
See Also:
Don't think a thing of it. My son played dress-up and wore dresses, hats and high heels because his big sister was doing it and he wanted to be just like her. She's every bit the man now.
Absolutely!! My son always wanted his nails painted when he saw me doing mine. So I got some cheap clear polish and he loved it and it was rubbed off in a few days. Now my little girl likes playing with my makeup and cars and my husband doesn't say anything about her playing with cars, like she's going to be a les.
So what if he turns out gay anyway? Would you try to stop this behavior if you actually DID believe it would turn him gay?
It's not that this behavior will turn him gay, but that it could point to him being gay. I'm sure lots of boys who dress up and play with makeup grow up to be straight (and plenty of boys who never did this grew up gay), but the only boy I know who did this grew up gay as the day is long. Either way should be fine, though, and at least your husband will have a long time to get used to the idea. My daughter loves to play with toy cars, and she's about your son's age, so we'll just have to wait to see how they turn out!
I have actually talked to children's therapists and pediatricians about this issue with my son and they told me that it is perfectly normal and that it is a proven fact that little boys who play with dolls and makeup and girl stuff make better fathers when they are older.
Nothing he does or you do is going to turn him gay! If he is gay it is because he was born gay and there is nothing you can do to change it. You can try and make him suppress it but it won't change it so if he is gay Love Him and let him be the best person he can be and don't let anyone belittle him or judge him or her for that matter or that precious baby could grow up suicidal .

Fantastic cottage in peaceful surroundings
Left on Dec 04, 2013 for a stay in August 2013
Couldn't have asked for anything more. Cottage was maintained to a high standard, hosts were friendly but not intrusive and the area is outstandingly beautiful. We needed a week away from it all and that is exactly what we got. Would recommend this cottage to anyone who enjoys peace and quiet, our dog did not need his lead all week. Local pub also very good and dog friendly. Will definitely … See more

Wal-Mart drops iPhone 5c/5s prices ahead of launch
The company offers some major discounts to lure in customers.
Hoping to gain an edge over the competition, Wal-Mart (WMT) has reduced the price of Apple's (AAPL) upcoming iPhones.
Available for pre-order this Friday, the iPhone 5c officially retails for $99 with a two-year contract. Wal-Mart will sell the 16GB model for $79. The retail giant has knocked $10 off the price of the 16GB iPhone 5s, bringing it down to $189.According to CNET, the standard 16GB iPhone 5 can currently be purchased for $79. This deal will likely end the moment the iPhone 5c becomes available.
Wal-Mart is also selling the 8GB and 16GB iPhone 4S for 97 cents. On Monday, the retailer will reduce the price of the iPhone 4 to just $0.10. Those who purchase the three-year-old handset will also get a $100 Wal-Mart gift card.
These discounts do not apply to those who purchase an iPhone 5s or iPhone 5c without a contract.
On Saturday, Wal-Mart will reduce the price of the contract-free iPhone 5 (from $649 to $549) and the contract-free iPhone 4 (from $449 to $349). These prices are specific to Wal-Mart's Straight Talk prepaid plan.
Luring Customers Away
Best Buy (BBY), Target (TGT) and Apple's own outlets are among the top-selling retailers for iPhones. By offering the cheapest prices of any retailer, Wal-Mart is attempting to lure customers away from those stores.
This might work, but the gains could be short-lived.
When releasing a new product, Apple typically sends the largest shipments to its own retail locations. If 100 people show up at each Wal-Mart and the retailer only has 50 units to sell, half of its prospective customers are going to walk away disappointed. Next time, they might return to the Apple Store to increase their chances of scoring a new iDevice.
Wal-Mart must also deal with the challenge of customer loyalty. Some people simply prefer the Apple Store experience. Wal-Mart won't be able to persuade those customers to shift retailers unless it gives the phone away for free. Even then, some people may not budge.
At the time of this writing, Louis Bedigian had no position in the equities mentioned in this report.

TEAMS: Chicago White Sox, Cleveland Indians, Tampa Bay Rays
White Sox pitcher Jake Peavy has been pushed back a day and will start Thursday's series opener against the Tampa Bay Rays. Chicago manager Robin Ventura will start left-hander Hector Santiago in Wednesday's series finale against the Cleveland Indians. Santiago is 3-1 with a 3.45 ERA in two starts and 38 relief appearances this season. Ventura said Tuesday morning that lefty Chris Sale would get an extra day of rest, but the team announced after a 4-3 loss to the Indians on Tuesday that Sale would start Saturday on regular rest instead. Righty Gavin Floyd was moved up to Friday, replacing Jose Quintana, who pitched two-thirds of an inning of relief Tuesday, throwing four pitches. Chicago began Tuesday with a one-game lead over Detroit in the AL Central.

I needed cash and went to cvs to do a cash back and grabbed this because it was cheap. I got it because of the name. The color is exactly what I picture rose gold to be. It's flattering on my tan nc40/42 skin. I layer it over a rose colored lip liner and it's perfect!
I really like this gloss. My only issue with WnW glosses are the tubes become sticky from the packaging sticker that you have to peel off to open it & then they get dirty in my bag. I am kind of embarrassed to bring it out in front of anyone when I need a touch-up.
i just picked this up looking for a replacement to my favorite everyday gloss. it defintely fits the bill. it's pretty, shimmery and it actually stays on fairly well--unlike most glosses that seem to either evaporate the minute i put them on or dry up into nasty flakes at the corner of my mouth. the formula is good, too--not too watery but not too syrupy thick, either. the one thing that i didnt like is it's hard to get the doe foot applicator out of the bottle with much product on it. the neck of the bottle is so thin, it scrapes most of the gloss off as you pull the wand out. other than that, nice job wet n wild!
The flavors and were much more diverse in the past. The clear ones are still the best and maybee the pinks and plums, No smell, no taste, they hsould wither discontinue the brand or make better glosses that last longer an dpolishes, and like cover Girl, the lipsticks leave a stain, especially the darker colors, it makes people look like a clown.
The ones back in 2004 with the silver caps and the dark pinks and corals were awesome, they went downhill, and now I switched to Clinique, MAC, Bare Escentuals, Hard Candy, Urban Decay, Loreal, Revlon Colorstay and Rimmel. I think Jordana is full of it and Nicka K, and if you wanna know real makeup, try bobby brown or anything over a Macy's counter or a Sephora store, the more money the better makeup and quality and even quantity. Wet 'N' Wild, you were once upon a time cool and wild, but now your makeup looks like it was made for a child
I just picked this lipgloss up as I have never tried Wet 'n' Wild glosses before and I must say that I am very pleasantly surprised with this. The color is gorgeous, exactly as the name says it's a beautiful rose gold color. I feel like it is very moisturizing and silky on the lips. I think the wear is good, doesn't disappear on my lips at all. Great find at $2. I also picked up the Red Sensation color and it is gorgeous as well. Wish they had more colors to choose from...maybe some cream shades without frost...
This cheap find has become my go to lippie to complement my dark eyeshadow looks. It's a shiny shimmery neutral nude with touch of pink in it. I simply love it, alone or over lipcolor!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Cheap lipstick taste. Smells like chemicals. Zero color payoff. Hard to get any product out of the tube. Totally not worth even the 2 something I paid for it. This and the Wet 'n' Wild blush I tried, means 2 strikes. Its gonna be a while till I try one of their products again.
I have worn this gloss on and off for over 10 years, it really is a great everyday shade. This, Bronzeberry and Sheerly Cocoa are the best glosses that WnW has to offer, plus they are dirt cheap and amongst
the best drugstore glosses that I have tried.
It is a peachy gold, wears nice, though I don't apply too much to begin with. While I hadn't purchased this in quite a few years until fairly, this will hold a permanent place in my collection, can't go wrong for the price. Recommended.
HG for me. The color is absolutely PERFECT. I couldnt' ask for more. Wears ok, considering a) it's a cheapie d/s brand and b) it's a gloss/liquid. It's not gloppy, or thick or anything. Feels just like lipstick, actually, without the dryness. Perfect.
But the color? I can't say enough about it. It's perfect on me. Never found a color I love as much as this in all my years. I will continue to buy this just as I have since I first discovered it. I'm probably on my 10th tube of this. If they ever discontinue this color I WILL cry!
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This product it absolutely amazing. Dirt cheap yet the color payoff is great. It's a beautiful color that would compliment any skin tone. And a little definitely goes a long way.

I am now a married woman. Woo Hoo! if you search my name "rainbough" at photobucket.com you will find my wedding albums, and can see pics of me getting married in a cave in my red dress.
Also I am back at massage heights although a different location, and I am shocked to discover I actually enjoy working there. Given how vehmently I hated the last massage heights this has come as a pleasant surprise. Of course the money isn't great but the tips are good.
BilLee has left home depot and as a result is currently in the process of fielding calls from many prospective employers. He really wants something that will be a great fit for him. That he will enjoy, will be good pay, and that he can stick with for a long time.
The down side of this is that our house hunt is on hold once again and there are an awful lot of prospective employers knocking at the door (i.e. phone). Its been frustrating when we finally find one we think will be great, go through the interview process, and then discover that he didn't get the job. This has happened twice now.
In other news we recently got a DBA in williamson county for our massage/yoga business. BilLee is continuing his training to become a yoga instructor and soon we hope to combine our talents in our own yoga and massage studio.
I am nervous about starting out on my own. It can be rough to put yourself out there and actually ask people for business. I am not sure how well I will fare at it, but I think it is very worthwhile to gain the experience of doing so even if it turns out I am not especially good at it.
I am going to break up my updates into multiple posts. Part 2 coming soon.

The Great Moronic RIAA
Recording industry goes after personal use:
My opinion of the RIAA: HA HA HA HA....
The Howell case was not the first time the industry has argued that making a personal copy from a legally purchased CD is illegal. At the Thomas trial in Minnesota, Sony BMG's chief of litigation, Jennifer Pariser, testified that "when an individual makes a copy of a song for himself, I suppose we can say he stole a song." Copying a song you bought is "a nice way of saying 'steals just one copy,' " she said.
My opinion of the RIAA: HA HA HA HA....

New Hampshire Civil Unions
New Hampshire Legalizes same sex marriages.
Yea New Hampshire! But on a more serious note why does it matter so much what we do and do not call a gay marriage?
New Hampshire is the fourth state to permit civil unions, but the first to do it without a court decision or the threat of one. New Hampshire Governor John Lynch signed the law on May, which grants same-sex couples the same rights, responsibilities and obligations as married male-female couples, but it does not call the union a marriage.
Yea New Hampshire! But on a more serious note why does it matter so much what we do and do not call a gay marriage?

Happy '08
In celebration of the new year I had to be the geek that called my siblings on the east coast to ask them what year it was at 11:45pm central time. When I told my twin that I was calling from last year he says, "you can't call from last year... you can only call from now." Or something to that effect I don't remember the exact wording.

i didn't know if i should bother saying anything on this blog about why i left and moved blogs so suddenly, but in the end i thought it was probably polite, so i logged in after a week and here we are.
i'm moving because there are certain realisations i've come to and this blog has just become a generally unhappy place for me. i decided it was time for a change of scenery. i'm not giving out my new url in a post because that defeats the object (and i don't think all 1500 of you really want to follow me anyway so this is basically your chance to escape) but if you want to keep in touch, you can send me a message. i've been on my new blog for a week and it's been great. all the stress this blog has attached has gone which has had a surprising impact on my real life, and i've actually learnt a surprising amount about myself and other people.
so to summarise, if you want to keep in touch, message me. if not, it's been golden, and see you in another life, brotha~
"Sometimes there will be a line in the script and I just can't imagine saying it. I'll ask an American and they'll say, "Oh, yeah. That's how we say it." We just say things differently in Australia - like torch. I'd ask, "Can I have the torch?" It seems to fall flat when I say, "Can I have the flashlight?"
is it bad how much i'm laughing
i'm so hungry
and tired
sent about a hundred emails
my mum just took my coursework that was due today to the post office
now i just need to write a list of everything i need to get when i go back and we'll be done
kingeomer replied to your post: in brighter news i know what i'm getting amanda for christmas.

Our Childcare Affordability Report examines the average cost of childcare relative to earnings across Great Britain. See how your area ranks against the national average.
Download the full Family Investments Childcare Affordability Report
With over 36 years experience working with families, Family Investments knows that managing the care of children whilst at work is one of the biggest pressures any family faces. That's why we have published the most comprehensive analysis of local childcare costs and affordability in Great Britain in our first ever Childcare Affordability Report.
We've used information from the report to build a tool to help you look at affordability in your own local county. This calculator allows you to see the cost of childcare relative to average earnings. The childcare costs are based on paying for nursery or a childminder for 25 hours a week for a full 52 week year. Earnings data is based on average full time and part time gross earnings.
Are you surprised at childcare costs in your area? Let us know your thoughts via Twitter - we're @familyinvest.
Suffolk was the only county in which researchers were unable to collect data.
In June 2012 the Prime Minister announced a commission on childcare to look at how to reduce the costs of childcare for working families and burdens on childcare providers.
Family Investments has submitted evidence to the commission focusing on the huge variations in the cost of childcare at a local level across the country. Family Investments is urging the Government to tackle this growing problem and help ease the pressure on working families.

'Right. I look fine. Except I don't,' said Zora, tugging sadly at her man's nightshirt. This was why Kiki had dreaded having girls: she knew she wouldn't be able to protect them from self-disgust. To that end she had tried banning television in the early years, and never had a lipstick or a woman's magazine crossed the threshold of the Belsey home to Kiki's knowledge, but these and other precautionary measures had made no difference. It was in the air, or so it seemed to Kiki, this hatred of women and their bodies— it seeped in with every draught in the house; people brought it home on their shoes, they breathed it in off their newspapers. There was no way to control it. —

British Airways Retires Its Last Boeing 757
British Airways bid farewell to its three remaining Boeing 757s on Saturday, October 30, with a special farewell tour around the UK. To commemorate the day, the airline repainted one of the aircraft, G-CPET, in vintage BA livery from 1983. That airplane visited Manchester, Glasgow and Edinburgh during its final day in British Airways service from London Heathrow. The other two 757s flew from Heathrow on Spanish services.
British Airways served as the launch customer for the 757 in 1983 and by the late 1990s flew 54 of the jets. The last three of its 757s entered service in 1997.
With the retirement of its last 757s, a mix of Airbus A319s, A320s and A321s, along with a small number of Boeing 767s, now serve BA's short-haul network.
"Almost everyone in the operational side of the business has either piloted, repaired, dispatched or looked after customers on Boeing 757s during the past 27 years," said Stephen Riley, director of flight operations. "Back in 1983, the Boeing 757 was at the cutting edge of aviation technology, enhancing our capability to land in thick fog. This allowed British Airways to fly when rival carriers would be grounded.
"Now we are welcoming the Boeing 777-300ERs to the fleet, which are setting their own new standards in customer comfort and environmental performance."
British Airways has so far received two Boeing 777-300ERs from an order for six. The airline plans to take delivery of 12 Airbus A380s starting in 2013 and 24 Boeing 787s from 2012.

"I picked this design for a winter shower because of the brown. It's almost like a rustic brown (not grey) in color as described for some reason. The fun colors in the baby girl are all the colors being used in the shower. Can't wait for Savannah's arrival!"
"My 12 year old son did not mind having labels on his belongings this year because this design is understated and adheres nicely to surfaces."
"I bought these to coordinate with the Sketched Sweetness invitations... since they are both listed as the color Aloe I was hoping they would match, and they do. I used the same fonts as were used on the invitation and it came out great."
"Very impressed by the order. Basic cards had nice thickness to them, very nice colors and got lots of compliments on them. Would do business with the company again."
"I have some of these lables myself. A friend of mine saw it from the mail ad had to have some. So, I gave her some for her birthday. So incredibely classy. They came in the mail so fast as well. I would order these in a hearbeat again. You won't be disappointed. Customer service is great."

Washing food, oil and grease down your drain and disposal can lead to expensive and messy sewer backups. Keeping sewer pipes clean and operational avoids frustrating and unpleasant plumbing clogs, protects the ocean, safeguards public health and the environment, and prevents expensive plumbing repairs. Maintaining the residence sewer pipes is easy to do (video).
Fat, oil and grease – the number one problem
Food and grease do not disappear after going down the drain – they build up in sewer pipes and can cause serious damage to homes. Only water should go down the drain, food and grease should not. Home garbage disposals do not keep grease out the plumbing system and detergents only temporarily cut grease. Grease congeals further down the pipe, ground up food builds up and a clog forms.
Surprising other culprits
Invasion of tree and shrub roots into sewer pipes cause nearly half of the city's pipe overflows each year. Roots search for water and nutrients and can enter pipes through small cracks. Once in the pipe, they can grow rapidly and cut off sewer flow, causing backups into the home or overflows outside of the home.
Disposable wipes, even flushable ones, can also clog sewer lines. Throw wipes and towelettes as well as dental floss, feminine hygiene products and paper towels in the trash, and not in toilets.
Please send your comments on how the city is operating and maintaining the sewer system to firstname.lastname@example.com or call 760-438-2722.
Follow these simple steps to avoid clogs:
Inside the home
Outside the home
Costly repairs can also be avoided with regular sewer lateral cleaning. Ideally, a lateral should be professionally cleaned once a year to remove built up debris. Inspections using a small camera should be conducted by a professional plumber every three to five years to ensure pipe integrity.
When planting trees and bushes outside, take care to plant them far enough from the lateral that their roots will not interfere with the pipe. This distance will vary depending on the type of plant and the surrounding soil conditions. Contact an arborist or landscaping specialist to determine the best planting distances.
Can I put food, fat, oil and grease down a garbage disposal?
Food should be thrown in the trash. Ideally only water should go down the drain. The best way to dispose of fat, oil and grease is to put the materials in a leak-proof container, like a milk carton, and put it in the trash. Larger amounts of used cooking oil can be disposed of for free through a household hazardous waste facility. Call Waste Management at 760-929-9400 or PCS at 800-714-1195 for more information.
What if I use a garbage disposal or dishwashing detergent?
Home garbage disposals do not keep grease out of the plumbing system and detergents only temporarily cut grease. Fat, oil and grease eventually attach to the walls of sewer pipes like a clogged artery. The less food products washed down the drain, the better it is for sewer pipes.
What is considered a fat, oil or grease product?
Fat, oil and grease are byproducts of cooking and come from meat fats, lard, oil, butter, margarine, food scraps, sauces and dairy products. Some examples are peanut butter, bacon drippings, salad dressing and mashed potatoes. If washed down the sink and disposal, these products can build up over time, block the pipe and cause a sewer overflow.
Are foods like eggs shells, carrot peels and coffee grounds safe/okay to put in a dishwasher or through the garbage disposal?
In general no food products should go down the drain or dish washer, including egg shells, carrot peels and coffee grounds. Even food ground up in the garbage disposal can stick to grease build up in pipes making clogs bigger.
What other items should not be disposed of down the sewer?
General household items can cause serious pipe clogs. Some items that cause problems are disposable wipes (even flushable ones), dental floss, paper towels and feminine hygiene products. These products should be disposed of in the trash and not in sinks or toilets.
What can happen as a result of a sewer pipe blockage?
When the pipe gets clogged, raw sewage can back up into your home through the toilet, sink and shower drains. Not only is this smelly and messy, it is also unsafe. Coming into contact with bacteria and other contaminants in raw sewage poses a serious threat to the health of you and your family. You could also be responsible for paying for repairs to the pipe and the damage caused.
Who has to pay for repairing clogged sewer pipes that run from my condo/apartment to the street?
The property owner and homeowner associations are responsible for the sewer pipe from their homes to the street, called a lateral. Click here to learn more about sewer laterals.
How often should residents have their sewer pipes cleaned?
The pipe from your home to the street, called a lateral, should be professionally cleaned each year to remove pipe build up. Ideally, laterals should also be televised every three to five years to inspect the integrity of the pipe.
What can happen if a tree or shrub is planted over a sewer pipe?
The invasion of tree and shrub roots into sewer pipes cause nearly half of the city's pipe overflows each year. Homeowners should avoid planting trees and large shrubs over or near sewer pipes. The plant will seek the water and nutrients in the pipe and its roots will enter through small cracks causing big problems.
To report sewer smells, leaks and spills, dial 760-438-2722 during regular business hours or dial 760-931-2197 for after hours reporting.

The good news is that Allen and Kosciusko counties will share a $1 million grant aimed at enrolling uninsured children in the federally funded Children's Health Insurance Program.
There's bad news, too: Those northeast Indiana counties are among eight targeted because of slow enrollment growth in Medicaid, low per-capita income and lack of primary care providers.
CHIP is a full-service health plan for children, with premiums and co-pays based on family income. It's a success story among federal programs targeting poverty.
Research shows children who have health insurance are healthier and do better in school – a sick child cannot learn, said Norma Napoli, deputy director of Covering Kids & Families of Indiana, a nonprofit group aimed at ensuring access for Hoosier families.
The grant, however, does recognize strong programs already in place to connect families with coverage. Community Action of Northeast Indiana is the region's enrollment administrator for Hoosier Healthwise, the umbrella program that includes the Children's Health Insurance Program.
Program supervisor Paige Wilkins and her outreach assistants continually work to help families enroll and renew their eligibility.
The new grant, provided through the Affordable Care Act, will allow CANI to add an enrollment coordinator in both Allen and Kosciusko counties, Wilkins said.
In addition to CANI, enrollment centers include area hospitals and some nonprofit agencies, including East Wayne Street Center and SCAN. CANI's outreach efforts focus on schools, where information is included in registration packets, applications for free- and reduced-price lunch programs and more.
Statewide, just more than 8 percent of Indiana children are uninsured. Napoli said estimates show that close to 13,000 children in Allen County are eligible for Hoosier Healthwise but not enrolled.
Once enrolled, some families lose eligibility because they don't realize they must re-enroll each year, Wilkins said.
A lot of the Medicaid population – not all, but a lot – are transient, she said. They move and don't get the notice that they must recertify. If they are on food stamps, they have to recertify for that every six months, so they sometimes reapply for that and don't realize they have to do the same for Hoosier Healthwise.
The information challenge will only grow greater as more pieces of the federal health care act go into effect. Covering Kids & Families has applied for another federal grant and should learn in mid-August whether it will have additional resources to help low-income families navigate the new system.
With young families continually becoming eligible for assistance, there's a never-ending need to provide information and enrollment help. It's important work, however. Ensuring parents have access to health care saves money in the long run. Children who are healthy miss fewer days of schools and perform better in class. In turn, they are more likely to succeed in school and become productive, tax-paying residents who no longer need assistance.

Telecom In the Wake of Sandy
Gautam is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Over a month has passed since the 'Frankenstorm' raged through the east coast, devastating all in its path. It's been a month since the US economy put up a brave stand. Initially it was estimated to have caused only moderate economic damage, but now slowly the blow to the economy is coming to light.
Hurricane Sandy raged through the United States in October taking a large chunk of the US infrastructure with it. Homes were devastated, telephone poles ripped apart, communication lost. Boston, New York and New Jersey were amongst the worst affected, so much so, that the NYSE was forced to shut down. $62 million in losses has already been attributed to the storm, with more to come…
What Happened
Sandy's spur destroyed many homes, buildings, uprooted roots and shut down ports. But the worst hit sector, still appears to be telecommunication.
Several telecom offices were flooded, with Verizon Mobile's (NYSE: VZ) being one of them. According to Reuters, Verizon Communications appears to have suffered some of the worst damage from the storm. The office had lost power during the storm. The tremendous pressure made its copper telecom cables lose the pressurized air that is normally pumped into them to keep water out. When the storm struck, the water most likely seeped into the depressurized cables, damaging the copper wires. The damage is probably in the billions. Many cell towers had no power, even two weeks after the storm ended. Their back up batteries had run out days ago.
In such a case, Verizon warns its customers of a serious hit in the future. The whole territory affected is predominantly Verizon's, so it really is a no brainer that the cellular giant was the worst hit. With 96% of its cell towers out of commission, clean up and repair will be no easy matter. Verizon expects a sizable chunk to be cut off from its fourth quarter profits.
SJames Ratcliffe, Capital analyst at Barclays, estimates that Verizon may have costs totaling $306 million in storm damage. The real figure is likely to be higher.
Reorts Elsewhere
Verizon, however, wasn't the only one to be crippled by the storm. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) reported that 19% of cellular sites in nearly 160 counties across 10 states, from Virginia to Massachusetts, were out of use.
Sprint Nextel (NYSE: S), another major carrier, was severely affected, though mostly in the New York tri-state area, in Pennsylvania and parts of New England. Flood, debris from the storm, power outages and failure of commercial power grids appear to be the main cause of the damage. Although the company is about 90% operational in , New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, according to company officials, the harder-hit areas are only around 80% functional, and just 75% of its New York City towers are online.
Ken Rehbehn, wireless infrastructure analyst with Yankee Group, notes that Sandy's damage on infrastructure is second only to Hurricane Katrina's. Cablevision, T-Mobile and others have also been severely affected.
Elsewhere, however, AT&T (NYSE: T) reported more upbeat findings. According to AT&T's blog, the network is now fully operational in most areas and nearly 90% working in the harder hit sectors. Cell services are non-disruptive, payment options have been customized to help customers in worst hit areas and late fees have been waived.
With more than 6.4 million phones sold through November, AT&T upgraded its sales forecast to 26 million. As reported by a company spokesperson, most subscribers are now adhering to the 10-gigabyte plan, which is the third costliest plan AT&T offers.
What it means
Although Sandy has delivered a crushing blow to the industry, the companies, it seems, are on the road to recovery. As already evidenced by AT&T, there is no reason to lose faith as yet. Some, like Cablevision or Sprint-Nextel may be reporting heavy losses, but it is unlikely to be long term. As far as profits affected due to the storm go, the damage is unlikely to go beyond the next quarter.
Now, Verizon is another matter. As the worst hit, its losses far exceed that of its competitors. In a way, it bore the brunt of the ordeal. But, even in this case, there is hope. The company is still flying on the high of its stellar Q3, when 1.54 million customers were added to its database, far exceeding predictions. Also finalization of contracts with Union workers is expected to bring yearly deals of $250 to $500 million.
Yes, Verizon was hit bad, and yes, the impact may stretch past even the next quarter and into the next fiscal year. But it is unlikely to cause damage past that.
To sum it up, the industry was dealt a heavy blow, some more than others. But I would be extremely surprised if this caused any permanent damage. The losses are being dealt with. I would advise investors to keep a steady eye for at least the next quarter, but if they are in for the long haul, they are unlikely to be the ones with the shorter stick.

By Rob Weinert-Kendt
The playwright Jon Robin Baitz walks healthily among the living, but in some ways his articulate, carefully constructed plays feel like throwbacks to a more literate, less cynical age. Plays such as The Substance of Fire, Three Hotels and The Paris Letter, map out internecine battles of love and loyalty among family, friends and lovers with a comic clarity that evokes Shaw, and a fraught psychological texture, thick with explosive secrets and lies, that recalls Ibsen.
Given those antecedents, it's surprising that his career until last year was bookended by two formative West Coast experiences that would seem to belie his plays' well-made classicism.
Other Desert Cities: Dysfunction with a Twist
Other Desert Cities delivers many surprises.
One of them changes the game.
You've heard the adage: Don't let a good deed go unpunished.
That seems to have been the state of mind of Jon Robin Baitz when he was unceremoniously thrown off the successful ABC-TV series, "Brothers and Sisters," a show he had created and for whose success he was largely responsible as a writer/producer.

Coffee...For Your Health?
By C. J. Prince
Globally, somewhere between 400 and 500 billion cups of coffee are consumed each year, and, as a commodity, the bean ranks second only to petroleum in terms of dollars traded worldwide. And its future may be even brighter. Although coffee is currently enjoyed around the world as a beverage that delivers bold, rich flavors and a caffeine kick, new scientific research suggests that it may benefit our health and wellness as much as it pleases our palates.
The diminutive coffee bean, only a fraction of an inch in length, belies enormous complexity within, says Joseph A. Rivera, founder of information portal Coffeechemistry.com and Coffee Intelligence, a technical consultancy for the specialty coffee industry. "It contains more than 1,000 compounds. For comparison, chocolate only has about 250, and wine, maybe 450," says Rivera, a chemist who has been studying coffee for more than a decade. "That's pretty amazing."
While not all of coffee's compounds are useful, over the past few years scientists have found quite a few that bear nutritional fruit, and they've been hard at work attempting to extract the bean's most healing properties for use in supplements, powders, and topical creams.
Antioxidant Extracts From the "Skin"
The coffee fruit, in its original unpicked form, has multiple layers: the red outer skin called the exocarp; the pulp beneath; the slimy layer of mucilage, called the parenchyma; and the beans buried inside. The mucilage has long been known to contain valuable polyphenols, a group of chemicals rich in antioxidants that remove "free radicals," or potentially damaging chemicals, from the body. But until recently, nobody had figured out a practical method for processing it into consumable form without it fermenting and releasing harmful mycotoxins, a naturally occurring chemical compound produced by fungi that, if ingested, can be fatal.
Then, an organic chemist from Serbia named Dusan Miljkovic, working with Jeff VanDrunen, president of biotech firm VDF FutureCeuticals, came up with a new technology to get around that. "We developed a process of cultivation, harvesting, and subsequent quick-drying that eliminates the possibility of mycotoxins being generated," explains FutureCeuticals general manager John Hunter.
The proprietary technology enabled them to create a new product, the CoffeeBerry, and the related line of Whole Coffee Fruit powder and extract products, which are marketed for use in a variety of foods, beverages, and supplements. This antioxidant-rich formula, derived from the whole fruit of the coffea plant, packs quite a wallop, nutritionally speaking: according to Hunter, one gram of CoffeeBerry Whole Powder provides the same antioxidant benefit as 33 grams of its nearest competitor—the blueberry.
Chlorogenic Acid for Weight Loss and Diabetes Prevention
One of the coffee bean's many organic compounds is chlorogenic acid, an antioxidant that slows down the release of glucose into the bloodstream after a meal. Although chlorogenic acid is found in the roasted coffee bean and drinkable java beverages, its highest concentration is found in the raw, unroasted green bean, says Chris Fields, vice president of scientific affairs for Applied Food Sciences, an Austin, Texas-based company that specializes in the development and marketing of technologies used in foods, beverages, and nutritional supplements. AFS manufactures the extract Green Coffee Antioxidant (GCA).
This past October, researchers from the University of Scranton joined with the Health Sciences Clinic at Trinity Hospital in Bangalore, India, to conduct a 22-week study to test the efficacy of GCA in overweight adults. (India currently has the world's largest diabetes population.) With no real change in diet, study subjects experienced significant reductions in both body weight and body mass index when they were taking GCA, as opposed to the placebo. "It can basically manage insulin in your body," says Fields. These results, along with those of other studies on the effect of chlorogenic acid on glucose uptake, suggest that GCA could potentially be an effective neutraceutical for reducing and possibly preventing obesity and Type 2 diabetes.
Approved anti-obesity drugs have been scarce in the U.S., and many have been taken off the shelves after dangerous side effects were discovered. In June, the FDA approved Belviq, or lorcaserin, developed by Arena Pharmaceuticals, for the treatment of obesity—the first such approval since 1999. But if the new drug is priced similarly to market predecessors, around $3 per capsule, the twice-a-day regimen would add up to $180 per month. And such drugs are typically not covered by insurance. Supplements made with GCA, on the other hand, typically retail at less than $20 a bottle for what roughly amounts to a 30-day supply, meaning they could offer a budget-friendly alternative.
Treating Wrinkles With Topical Application
Ingestion isn't the only way to reap the oxidizing benefits of the coffee bean. Fields and her team at Applied Food Sciences recently completed a clinical study in Denver at the Rocky Mountain Laser Clinic that measured the effects of coffee applied topically to the skin for treatment of various issues, including wrinkles and pigmentation, or age spots. Until recently, it was challenging at best to experiment with topical solutions, because the polyphenols in coffee are highly water-soluble, and therefore oxidize too quickly. "So within an hour's time, it lost its potency," explains Fields. But her team was able to apply encapsulation technology to protect the polyphenols and keep it on the skin for a longer period of time, allowing it to do its work as an antioxidant. "It was clearly shown to reduce skin pigmentation and rebuild collagen to reduce wrinkles," she says.
Last year, a study on mice conducted at Rutgers University, in collaboration with researchers from the University of Washington, suggested that caffeine applied topically to the skin through sunscreen could inhibit sunlight-induced skin cancer by directly absorbing damaging ultraviolet light. Although Fields cautioned that no one product can prevent skin cancer, she says she believes a future application of sunscreen incorporating caffeine would make good sense. FDA regulations for over-the-counter supplements are not nearly as stringent as they are for drugs—supplement makers must only ensure their products are not harmful—so a caffeinated sunscreen might not be that far off in the U.S.
FutureCeuticals' Hunter says this is only the beginning. "We think it won't be long before people will realize that coffee is going to help them not get Type 2 diabetes, age better, stay healthy, be a little smarter, if you will—that's what we see," he says. "We're going to find out that coffee as a whole is a good friend to us."

EVANSDALE, Iowa (AP) - Authorities say a man seen in a surveillance photo has talked to investigators and is not a suspect in the abduction of two Iowa cousins.
FBI spokeswoman Sandy Breault says the man and a white van had been seen at an Evansdale store about 2 p.m. July 13, two hours before firefighters found the bicycles of 10-year-old Lyric Cook and her cousin Elizabeth Collins, whose 9th birthday was Tuesday. The man talked to investigators on Wednesday.
Earlier Wednesday, Capt. Rick Abben, of the Black Hawk County Sheriff's Office, said investigators were aware of a reported abduction attempt of a Cedar Rapids boy by people in a van. Abben says it's impossible to tell whether the Cedar Rapids incident is somehow related to the missing girls.

The Neepawa Natives knew they'd have an uphill battle to catch the Waywayseecappo Wolverines in the race for the final MJHL playoff spot.
This past weekend, that hill proved just too big to climb.
Earlier this month the Natives were only four points behind the Wolverines with eight games remaining, meaning they'd have to win at least two more games than Wayway to finish out the season.
That opportunity fizzled this past week though, as the Natives lost three consecutively while the Wolverines won two of three to eliminate Neepawa's chances of returning to the playoffs.
As of Monday, with two games remaining, the Natives now sit with a 13-40-5 record with 31 points while Wayway has 39 points and a 18-37-3 record.
Neepawa 3 at Dauphin 4
Sunday night put the final nail in Neepawa's coffin as the Natives lost 4-3 while Waywayseecappo beat Virden 4-2.
In Dauphin, the Natives led 3-2 with two minutes remaining in the second period, but the Kings finished the game with two unanswered goals to clinch the win.
Brady Bouchard, Drake Lindsay and Riley Hillis scored for Neepawa, while Ty Webber, Sam Briscoe, Bouchard and Jaret Smith registered assists.
Matthieu Verreault took the loss for Neepawa despite a 37-save performance. The Natives were outshot 41-21 on the night.
Former Native Brayden Cuthbert scored Dauphin's second goal of the game.
OCN 4 at Neepawa 2
Just over 300 people filled the Yellowhead Centre Friday for Neepawa's second-last home game of the season, but it was the Blizzard who left the arena with the upper hand.
OCN never trailed in the game, leading 1-0 after one period, 3-1 after 40 minutes and 4-2 by the final buzzer. Anthony Agner-Bouchard scored the clinching goal for OCN with about nine minutes remaining in the game.
On the other side of the puck, Hillis and Bouchard scored for Neepawa with Reigan Buchanan, Robbie Moar, Drake Lindsay and Briscoe assisting.
The Natives outshot OCN 40-38 on the evening, with Verreault taking the loss in net.
Neepawa 3 at Virden 6
The Natives headed to Virden Thursday evening in a make-up game from December. Neepawa wasn't able to field a team due to injuries and absentees at the time, having only about 10 eligible players.
On Thursday, Virden took a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes before a strong second period catapulted the Natives into a 2-2 tie.
Neepawa added one more goal just over one minute into the third period, but Virden responded with four unanswered - including an empty net goal - to clinch the 6-2 win.
Smith and Lindsay scored for the Natives with Moar, Luke Karakas, Bouchard and Briscoe assisting.
Verreault took the loss for Neepawa as the Natives outshot Virden 32-38.
Long Weekend Results
Neepawa lost two of three the weekend prior.
Family Day saw Neepawa lose 6-3 in Winkler, while Saturday, Feb. 15 a two-goal game from Karakas and three-assist outing from Moar led Neepawa to a 5-2 win over OCN.
On Friday, Feb. 14 in Neepawa the Natives lost a10-4 game despite tying Virden in shots with 43. Hometown goalie call-up Brady Plett was a bright spot for the Natives in an otherwise lopsided outing, saving 13 of 14 shots faced after replacing Verreault to start the third period.
MJHL Awards
Neepawa was shut out of the MJHL awards and All-Star selections this year.
Selkirk's Parker Thomas was named league MVP, Portage's Tyler Jeanson named Rookie of the Year, Selkirk's Braeden Ostepchuk earned Top Goaltender honours, Selkirk's Joel Messner won Top Defenseman, Swan Valley's Max Flanagan was the Hockey Ability award winner, while Selkirk's Ryan Smith was named Coach of the Year.

Enjoy Life with Your Spouse While Raising Your Kids
- Friday, October 15, 2010
Reading stories, changing diapers, teaching or helping with homework, driving to sports games and music lessons, preparing meals, making crafts, hosting play dates, disciplining, answering questions, and plenty more … Parents have a lot of work to do. You and your spouse want to be great parents, so you devote lots of time and energy to your kids. But how much do you devote to each other?
It's easy to neglect your marriage when you're feeling overwhelmed by parenting demands. But if you and your spouse are lousy lovers, your parenting will suffer, too, because the best gift you can give your kids is to let them see God's love at work in your relationship with each other.
So start enjoying life with your spouse while you raise your kids, building a strong marriage that will give your family the foundation God wants it to have. Here's how:
Change from a kid-centered home to one that promotes a close marriage. Rather than planning your family's schedule around what your kids want to do, let them know that you and your spouse are in charge. Give yourselves permission to do activities together with your spouse that will nurture your marriage - without feeling guilty about having to take some time, energy, and money away from the kids to do so. Instead of letting your kids do whatever they want to do and create chaos in your home, discipline them with love by training them to respect you and your spouse and the marriage you share.
Maintain margin and rhythm in your schedule. The stress of being too busy will harm your marriage if you rush from one activity to another with no breaks in between. Give yourselves the time you need to rest and relax by planning blocks of unscheduled time between activities and adjusting your schedule to the natural rhythm of the season of life your family is in right now. Be intentional about how you use your time, resisting the distractions of activities that aren't important and focusing on those that help you fulfill God's purposes for your lives.
Care for your family's journeys. While it is important for you and your spouse to help your kids grow closer to Christ through their own spiritual journeys, it's also important for you to care for your own spiritual journey (by praying and reading the Bible often), your spouse's spiritual journey (encouraging your spouse while removing all expectations for him or her to meet your spiritual and emotional needs, which only God can do), and your marriage journey (by learning how to truly enjoy life with each other). Keep in mind that your children can grow best on their own spiritual journeys when they see that their parents' marriage reflects Christ's love.
Dream together. Don't let the grind of life's routines, responsibilities, and pressures stop either you or your spouse from dreaming about the future. Dreaming and discussing your dreams together will benefit your marriage in many ways, such as by raising your desire for each other, filling your days with possibilities, and creating excitement and anticipation in your marriage.
Have fun together. Maintain a schedule of regular date nights, and make time to pursue other fun activities with your spouse so you can take breaks from parenting duties and let your hearts be carefree.
Laugh together. Enjoy humor with your spouse as often as possible. Laughing together will help you strengthen your bond, reduce stress, and even improve health.
Touch each other often. Every day, give your spouse different types of meaningful touch to express your love for him or her in both affectionate and sexual ways. Keep in mind that the health of your sex life depends on the strength of the emotional security between you, so work on your friendship when working on your sexual relationship. Don't hesitate to make appointments with each other for sex, so you can make it happen in the midst of your busy schedules. Remove distractions such as toys from the place where you plan to be romantic, and lock the door. Try to conserve your energy on days when you've made romantic appointments with your spouse, so you have enough energy left over for sex.

This paper describes the power of sound in a cross-arts context. It combines some of the author's published views with a number of personal artistic experiences as a composer/sound designer, all of which involve interdisciplinary contexts: theatre, dance, video/video-theatre, now also moving into new media, in the traditional theatre space, at specific (alternative) sites as well as virtual ones. One of the paper's key theses is that sound, more than any other element in many of these genres, offers the opportunity to create a three-dimensional space, real or otherwise. Furthermore, given our ability to employ real-world sounds in these interdisciplinary contexts, highly experimental composition devices can be used which have been appreciated by members of the public who normally avoid or are unaware of such music.

Blackened Chicken Salad

Although we've provided a spice mix for blackening the chicken, there are several commercial mixes you can use but be forewarned: They are high in salt. If you like your food hot, try Paul Prudhomme's Magic Seasoning line. If you prefer it mild, try McCormick's Cajun Seasoning mix.
