Tommies Blog: St. Thomas Denied Playoff Berth After Winning Finale
The pieces seemingly fell into place last Saturday as the St. Thomas football team put itself into position for an at-large NCAA berth. But instead of deciding its own fate, the Tommies had to leave it in the hands of a third party.
Tommies Blog: UST Hoops Squad Confident Despite Losing 4 Starters
Most teams that lose four starters from a squad that was one game away from playing for a national title would consider the next season rebuilding. But the St. Thomas men's basketball program isn't like most squads. For coach John Tauer and the team, it's a program that's simply reloading.
Tommies Blog: St. Thomas Travels To St. Olaf For Finale
The St. Thomas football team is practicing this week as if it's not the last game it will play this season. If you ask coach Glenn Caruso, he's confident the Tommies name will be called by the NCAA selection committee for a playoff berth on Sunday.
Tommies Blog: Playoff Hopes Still Alive After Concordia Win
There were 21 seniors on the St. Thomas football team that left Palmer Field at O'Shaughnessy Stadium Saturday with both bittersweet and thrilled emotions. After giving up 13 early points, the Tommies outscored Concordia (Moorhead) 34-7 the rest of the game in a 34-20 victory to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Tommies Blog: St. Thomas, Concordia Its Own Playoff Game
It should be a playoff-like atmosphere in St. Paul Saturday when No. 18-ranked St. Thomas hosts No. 21-ranked Concordia (Moorhead) as both teams are fighting for their postseason lives. The Tommies (6-2, 4-2) will have their playoffs ended with a loss, less than a year removed from a run to the Division III national championship game.
Tommies Blog: St. Thomas Escapes Augsburg, Gets Help From Gustavus
The Tommies, ranked No. 18 in Division III, survived a sluggish offensive day that featured four turnovers and left Minneapolis with a 17-14 victory over the Auggies. They also got some help from Gustavus, who beat St. John's 23-20 in double overtime.
Tommies Blog: St. Thomas Faces Must-Win At Augsburg
After handling Hamline 43-7 last week, the St. Thomas football team faces one of its tougher games of the 2013 schedule this Saturday. The Tommies (5-2, 3-2) face a must-win situation when they head to Minneapolis Saturday to face Augsburg (4-3, 3-3). Then again, when you have two MIAC losses and need to win out to have any shot at the NCAA Playoffs, every week is a must-win.
Tommies Blog: St. Thomas Handles Hamline, 43-7
For the second time this season, the St. Thomas football team got a lopsided win on its home field the week after a tough loss in the MIAC. Back in Week 4, the Tommies crushed Carleton 65-6 one week after a devastating 20-18 loss to St. John's in their MIAC opener. St. Thomas suffered a tough 28-21 loss at Bethel last weekl, and it was followed by a dominating 43-7 win over Hamline on Saturday.
Tommies Blog: St. Thomas Focused On Hamline After Tough Loss
The St. Thomas football team knows it's probably on the outside looking in when it comes to earning a playoff berth this year. The Tommies, which dropped to No. 15 in the latest Division III poll after losing 28-21 at Bethel last week, need to win their last four games and have Bethel go undefeated and win the MIAC to have any chance at the postseason.
Tommies Blog: NCAA Hopes Dwindle After Loss At Bethel
The Tommies lost at Bethel 28-21 Saturday to drop to 4-2 on the season, but more importantly 2-2 in the MIAC. The win for the Royals also gives them the inside track at a league title and the MIAC's automatic bid to the NCAA Playoffs.
Tommies Blog: Top 10 Teams Meet Saturday In Arden Hills
If the St. Thomas football team has any hopes of playing in the NCAA Division III Playoffs, it knows winning out is pretty much the only option. That got a lot more difficult this week despite a 20-12 win at Gustavus last Saturday.
Tommies Blog: St. Thomas Beats Gustavus, O'Connell Out For Season
The excitement of a road win for the St. Thomas football team at Gustavus was a bit tempered Saturday as the Tommies headed back to St. Paul. St. Thomas, ranked No. 6 in Division III headed into the game, actually dropped three spots in the polls despite claiming a 20-12 win over the Gusties.
Tommies Blog: St. Thomas Faces Improved Gustavus Squad Saturday
It's probably been a very, very long time since St. Thomas had to look up at Gustavus in the MIAC football standings, but that's exactly the case as the two teams square off Saturday afternoon in St. Peter. The Gusties have made quite a turnaround in the last year and are 3-1 entering Saturday's contest.
Tommies Blog: St. Thomas Gets Big Win Over Carleton
There were several smiling faces on the field after the St. Thomas football team got done with a dominating Homecoming performance on Saturday at O'Shaughnessy Stadium. The Tommies, ranked No. 6 in Division III, piled up nearly 700 yards of total offense and had seven different players score touchdowns in a 65-6 win over the Knights to claim their first MIAC win of the season.
Tommies Blog: St. Thomas Looking For Rebound Win Over Carleton
After falling to St. John's 20-18 in the conference opener, every week the rest of the season will essentially be a playoff game for the Tommies. St. Thomas (2-1, 0-1) can't afford to have another MIAC loss if it has any hopes of another league title and a trip to the NCAA Playoffs.

Proud Sponsor Of The Safe Ride Home
Holiday Safe Ride Home
Hauptman, O'Brien, Wolf & Lathrop is proud to have sponsored the Holiday Safe Ride Home program since its inception in December 1990. The premise is simple: Persons who attend a holiday party and find themselves too intoxicated to drive safely can call Happy Cab for a ride home. The tab will be picked up by Hauptman, O'Brien, Wolf & Lathrop.
This past holiday season, Hauptman, O'Brien, Wolf & Lathrop provided cab rides home for roughly 3,200 community members, helping to ensure that our neighbors had a safe and happy holiday.
If you find yourself needing a safe ride this holiday season, call Happy Cab at 402-292-2222, between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m., December 11th through New Year's Eve. And have a safe and happy holiday on Hauptman, O'Brien, Wolf & Lathrop.
Just as a reminder–cab rides can only originate and end within Douglas and Sarpy Counties (not Pottawattamie County/Council Bluffs, Iowa) and passengers will only be taken home, not another event location, after being picked up by Happy Cab from their holiday event. Also, the caller must advise the call center at the time they request cab service that they would like the Hauptman, O'Brien Safe Ride Home in order for Happy Cab to bill the charge properly.
St. Patrick's Day Safe Ride Home
St. Patrick's Day is another occasion where our community members attend numerous parties to celebrate the holiday. In keeping with tradition, and to keep St. Patrick's Day celebrants safe, Hauptman, O'Brien, Wolf & Lathrop pays for taxi rides from 12:00 p.m. on March 17 until 2:00 a.m. March 18. Free taxi rides are available to people who call Happy Cab at 402-292-2222 from a bar or tavern and are taken home.
St. Patrick's Day 2005, Hauptman, O'Brien, Wolf & Lathrop provided cab rides home for roughly 244 community members, helping to ensure that our neighbors had a safe and enjoyable St. Patrick's Day.
"Congratulations on another Safe Ride Home. I noticed you saved 3,200 people this year – Wow!!! Unbelievable – but fantastic. I remember where this program began. You are truly helping to make our streets safer!! Thank you."
"My daughter was able to make it home safely a couple of nights ago thanks to the Safe Ride Home Program. Thank you so much for underwriting such a wonderful, life saving program."
"Thanks for offering such a valuable service to the community! As a business owner, it's good to know that programs like this exist in Omaha. When the holidays approach each year, I make sure all of our employees know about your safe ride program."
"Each year, we host a big holiday party in our home, and I always tell our guests about the safe ride home program. It eases my mind to know this option exists for our friends and family to get home safely. Thank you for providing such a life-saving program!"
"With all of the holiday parties my children attend, I know their budgets get tight and they may be tempted to drive when they shouldn't. Last year, I asked them to program the safe ride home number into their cell phones to call if they needed to. Thanks for giving this mother some added peace of mind."
"Thank you for making the holiday season in Omaha a little bit safer. I may not drink and drive, but I still worry about those who do. If the safe ride home program leads to even one less drunk driver on the road, it's worth it in my book."

Apply a 5-10cm layer of Waterwise Approved mulch to your garden - Apply mulch to your garden can greatly reduce evaporation loss, improve the soil, reduce plant stress and weed growth, as well as improve the appearance of your garden
Gardens and lawns don't need as much water in autumn, so reduce your irrigation time by five minutes per station. While you're reducing your irrigation time, make sure you're watering on the correct days. Sprinkler rosters are in place across the state and you can only water before 9am or after 6pm. And remember, when it rains turn off your irrigation system and let your garden have a free drink from the sky! See WaterCoporation.com.au for your roster days.
Autumn is the perfect time to make your garden waterwise. With temperatures cooling down, it's time for everyone to get out in the garden and make a few small changes that can make a big difference to your water use.
Use Waterwise plants suited to your region. They look great, thrive in our climate and require less water. Check out the Water Corporation's Waterwise Plants for WA database to choose plants suited to your garden.

The Bengals announced today that cornerback Leon Hall has been named the teams' recipient of Ed Block courage award for display of courage and sportsmanship. Hall was chosen to receive this award after his 2011 season ended on November 13th vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers in a game in which he suffered a torn Achilles tendon. That kind of injury can require as long as a 10-month rehabilitation period and could have caused Leon to be on the Physically Unable to Perform list when the 2012 season had started, but Hall worked hard everyday to make sure he was ready for the first day of training camp in July, and has played in all but two games this year.
Head Athletic Trainer Paul Sparling noted how hard Hall worked to make sure he was back to playing the sport he loved as quickly as he could:
Leon approached the rehabilitation from his Achilles tendon injury last season with determination to beat the odds and return to play by the start of the season. He put forth the effort, time and energy in his recovery and rehabilitation to give himself the best chance to do just that. He set a great example of what it takes to be able to overcome a challenge, which was recognized by his teammates in being selected to represent the club for this award.

Bhaktivinode Thakura and Varnasrama
Balakrsna Prabhu,
Referring to Srila Prabhupada's teachings you say, "If there is a contradiction in Manu Samhita and the teaching of the Gita or Bhagavatam regarding varnashrama then we can assume it is an interpolation and only accept the conclusions of the Gita and Bhagavatam.".
I find this statement incomplete. In truth we can assume interpolation, OR INAPPLICABILITY,of any Vedic text if we find it contradicts the Gita, Bhagavatam, OR ANYTHING SRILA PRABHUPADA SAID OR ANY POLICIY HE ESTABLISHED REGARDING WOMEN, OR ANY OTHER ISSUE.
If we can err by skipping over Acahryas we can also err by skipping to texts that have possibly been tampered with. We know Srila Prabhupada is aware of the difference between what is genuine and what is an interpolation and what is ,or is not, applicable to ISKCON. A Vedabase search on Manu Samhita gives 228 hits. That is all we need to know about it!.
When we go to the direct text, we then must argue with our limited ability weather something is an interpolation or not, and weather something is applicable or not. This is a distractions which undermines the fundamental principal that we can ,and should, rely exclusively on the teaching of Srila Prabhupada- which give the most authoritative instructions on how to attain the goal of all Vedic Scriptures.

Mother Vishaka Priya,
Thank you so much for sharing the wisdom of Srila Bhativinoda Thakura, and explaining the logical connection between it and several points currently being debated in ISKCON.
Sometimes we hear Srila Prabhupada make a point, then when we hear it explained by another Viasnava authority and this helps us understand what our ultimate authority, Srila Prabhupada ,is saying.
For example, at the sannyasa initiation of Gurudasa Prabhu(San Francisco ,July 21, 1975) Srila Prabhupada says, " His wife is also great devotee, you know, Yamunä. So now Yamunä has taken a very nice path. She has also become sannyäséné. Although there is no sannyäséné for women, but she has voluntarily taken.She is doing very nice; therefore I advised her husband that "You also take sannyäsa."
So some would say that this is a precedent for women sannyasa to become a norm in ISKCON. Others will bring up quotes against women sannyas and say it is absolutely forbidden while simple ignoring Srila Prabhupada statements above. Other people know that neither of these extremes is correct and call for a nuanced understanding. But those with a political agenda are often expert at framing a nuanced perspective as the opposite of their extreme view, in other words they polarize views that are not in total agreement with their own. Therefore it is valuable to have an authoritative statement which explains why Srila Prbhpada's says their is no sannyasa for women and at the same time calls Mother Yamuna a sannyasini.
I am referring to Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura's point "Women are allowed to enter the grhastha asrama and vanaprastha asrama only. Though some women, being exceptionally qualified, achieving high education, expert understanding of scripture and great expertise, may become a brahmacari or sannyasi, it is not the normal rule, as women are usually of weaker body, faith and discriminating power."
Comment Posted By Sita Rama dasanudasa On 10.02.2013 @ 03:40
Not male or female, the real question is who is qualified?
I find Srila Prabhupadas explanation of the topic above to be extremely clear (see purport to verse 5 of, "The Nectar of Instruction").
Srila Prabhupada says, "A neophyte Vaiñëava or a Vaiñëava situated on the intermediate platform can also accept disciples, but such disciples must be on the same platform, and it should be understood that they cannot advance very well toward the ultimate goal of life under his insufficient guidance. Therefore a disciple should be careful to accept an uttama-adhikäré as a spiritual master."
Srila Prabnupada explains that we can understand the inner level of ones chanting, by observing their behavior, which is a manifestation of their level of faith.
The neophyte stage is described as, "A person who is very faithfully engaged in the worship of the Deity in the temple, but who does not know how to behave toward devotees or people in general is called a präkåta-bhakta, or kaniñöha-adhikäri." Srila Prabhupada says this person's faith is soft and pliable.
In contrast the madhyama adhikare has firm faith described by Srila Prabhupada , "Çraddhä means accepting the instructions of Bhagavad-gétä in their totality, especially the last instruction: sarva-dharmän parityajya mäm ekaà çaraëaà vraja. "Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me." Srila Prabhupada goes on to say, "A person whose conclusive knowledge of the çästras is not very strong but who has developed firm faith in chanting the Hare Kåñëa mahä-mantra and who is also undeterred in the execution of his prescribed devotional service should be considered a madhyama-adhikäré.
The uttama adhikare is described, "When a person realizes himself to be an eternal servitor of Kåñëa, he loses interest in everything but Kåñëa's service. Always thinking of Kåñëa, devising means by which to spread the holy name of Kåñëa, he understands that his only business is in spreading the Kåñëa consciousness movement all over the world. Such a person is to be recognized as an uttama-adhikäré",and further, "Çréla Bhaktivinoda Öhäkura has given some practical hints to the effect that an uttama-adhikäré Vaiñëava can be recognized by his ability to convert many fallen souls to Vaiñëavism."
Prior to the reform of the mid 1980's one might say the guru's were, "rubber stamped"; but now the GBC simply gives the green light if a devotee determines a person is qualified to initiate them.

Response to Bhaktarupa and Madhavananda prabhus recent post on "Education and Guruship of Vaishnavis"
Sitalatma Prabhu,
Your concerns are based on a framework of questioning the compatibility of FDG with the practical nature of the material world and the culture of ISKCON society. The framework of some other arguments is that FDG is absolutely forbidden and/or, women are incapable of knowing the science of Krishna to a sufficient degree. I have argued that the second framework is objectively wrong. I cannot take such a strong stance against your framework.
It seems hard to deny that there are healthy concerns that need to be addressed. There are many healthy concerns regarding male gurus which have been addressed by the GBC as numerous laws and guidelines; and I suspect that there will be some specific to FDG when FDG is actually implemented.
Those adamantly opposed to FDG, per se, have presented an argument to the GBC; I think it would be good to prepare a list of healthy concerns within your framework for the GBC to consider.
I believe arguments within your framework can lead to a dialogue wherein perspectives from each side add to a more complete understanding. I believe the other framework is divisive, and the logic involved in it could lead to numerous fallacious conclusions.

Gokula Candra Prabhu,
You wrote, "Sloka doesn't say that they are independent diksa gurus who travel all around the world without their husbands and initiate both men and women." It seems you are implying that the duty of a diksha guru is to travel around the world alone and preach. But traveling alone to preach is the dharma of the sanyasi, we all know that one does not have to be a sanyasi ,or artificially adopt the lifestyle of a sanyasi ,in order to be a guru.
It is wrong for a man or women to neglect their household duties. Therefore we see that the eternally transcendental pure devotee Srila Prabhupada never neglected his household duties as an example for the conditioned souls to follow. But no one has the authority to say one must be a snayasi( with no household duties) in order to be a guru because this is directly opposed to Lord Caitanya's teaching that one can be a guru in any varna or asrama. Individuals must take all measures that are needed to ensure that being a guru does not make one incapable of performing their occupational responsibilities. One might argue that certain measures are required; but to ban women per se is not justified because they are not necessarily caring for children ,or serving their husband full time, throughout their entire lifetime.

You wrote; ""On top of it he never allowed equal education for boys and girls for this is against sastric instructions. And later; "As quoted above Srimad Bhagavatam says no equal education for woman and Srila Prabhupada follows the same conclusion, that boys were thought different knowledge and the girls different."
Of course it would be absurd to say that boys and girls should be given equal education regarding their duties in household life. But it does not logically follow that women are not taught the philosophy of Krishna Consciousness. Srila Prabhupada undeniably engaged women in preaching ; for them to do this they must have an education in Vedic knowledge. Therefore Srila Prabhupada says:
"I want that all of my spiritual sons and daughters will inherit this title of Bhaktivedanta, so that the family transcendental diploma will continue through the generations. Those possessing the title of Bhaktivedanta will be allowed to initiate disciples. Maybe by 1975, all of my disciples will be allowed to initiate and increase the numbers of the generations. That is my program." (Letter to Hamsaduta on Jan 3, 1969). And elsewhere, "Women in our movement can also preach very nicely. Actually male and female bodies, these are just outward designations. Lord Caitanya said that whether one is brahmana or whatever he may be if he knows the science of Krsna then he is to be accepted as guru." (Letter to Malati, December 25, 1974)(cited in "Women Diksha Gurus, Yes But Not So Many, SP, by Ajamila Prabhu).
You have cited a conversation wherein Srila Prabhupada says girls should be taught to serve their husbands; cooking, sewing etc. This ends with Srila Prabhupada saying , "They should be stopped, this practice of prostitution. This is a very bad system in Europe and America. The boys and girls, they are educated-coeducation. From the very beginning of their life they become prostitutes. And they encourage."
You have given no evidence as to exactly what Srila Prabhupada wanted stopped ,but he mentions coeducation. There is nothing in this conversation which can be accepted as Srila Prabhupda forbidding girls from being taught Vedic philosophy because we know for a fact that Srila Prabhupada wanted women to acquire the Bhaktivedanta title and preach.

Gokula Candra Prabhu,
The main thrust of your argument seems to be that in traditional Vedic society the role of women was to serve their husbands and be mothers. This is an indisputable fact. You also acknowledge:
"Do you remember example from Krsna Book- where brahmanas were engaged in fire sacrifices and their wives were at home. And this was their glory, they did not know how to do sacrifice but they knew how to please Krsna. They were better devotees than their husbands without doing fire sacrifice."
The point is, as with men engaged in their occupational duties, women can please Krishna by engaging in their occupation. This is also an indisputable fact, reiterated by various examples in the scriptures, including Krishna statement in BG that all can approach the supreme destination.
We cannot ignore the teaching of the Yuga Avatar, Lord Caitanya and the verse by Him, quoted numerous times by Srila Prabhupada; one example being:
Actually one who has attained the perfection, she can become guru. But man or woman, unless one has attained the perfection…. Yei krsna-tattva-vetta sei guru haya [Cc. Madhya 8.128]. The qualification of guru is that he must be fully cognizant of the science of Krsna. Then he or she can become guru. Yei krsna-tattva-vetta, sei guru haya. [break] In our material world, is it any prohibition that woman cannot become professor? If she is qualified, she can become professor.( see, "Female Diksha Gurus - "Yes. But, Not So Many." Sp" by Ajamila dasa ACBSP).
You say that women can please Krishna; and we must agree that pleasing Krishna is the science of Krishna and that is the qualification for being guru. Thus to deny that women can be guru is to deny the statements of Lord Caitanya as explained by Srila Prabhupada. No amount of previous history can trump the direct teaching of the Avatar and Acharya of the current age.
Your argument is that male gurus in ISKCON are bonafide but women gurus are unauthorized because we do not find that to be common in past Vedic history. Your argument is incomplete unless you can show that in Vedic history, communities of male gurus were generally comprised of men who were converted to Viasnavism from the yavana and melaccha class, as is the situation in ISKCON today. In other words, if you require a precedent to support the position you are opposed to you should be able to provide a precedent supporting the position you are in favor of.

Varnasrama: Protection or Exploitation!
Nataraja Prabhu,
Please forgive me if I have failed to understand you. Right now it seems you are saying that for a woman to be qualified to be guru she must not neglect her occupational duties. I agree, and add that is true in every way. One mataji wanted to have another woman take care of her child so she could do pujari work. Srila Prabhupada wrote that he was surprised, and said for her, baby worship is more important than Diety worship.
Devotees do not neglect their family duty, we see the example of the Founder Achraya , Srila Prabhupada. He preached as much as possible while he was married, but he fulfilled the household duty.
I was taught, in the early 1980's that am man giving a Bhagavatam class is giving empty words if he is unkind to his family. Charity must begin at home. I can only say that we teach that the disciple must be intelligent and see these things. In fact if we are doing our duty as disciple, and scrutinizing the potential guru correctly, we will not accept a guru who is not qualified.
To be an ISCKOPN guru the GBC says they have,"no objection". It is up to the potential disciple to determine if they feel someone is able to be their guru. As for inside marriages, if the husband and wife have a firm relationship they will both decide if the woman should, or should not, be a guru.
Comment Posted By Sita Rama dasanudasa On 28.12.2012 @ 21:39
I want to make one last attempt to explain my entire position. I do not claim to have the wisdom to know precisely how the topic of women gurus should be managed: that is up to the GBC. But I object to certain types of arguments.
I believe Mother Phalini's opposition to women's gurus uses a legitimate framework. That framework is in regard to whether women gurus are incompatible with the practical realities of this material world. It was simply my humble opinion that her arguments within that framework were not effective.
There are two other frames; that women are categorically incapable of the level of spiritual advancement required to be a diksha guru, and historical Vedic teaching as well as Srila Prabhupada's instructions prohibit women gurus. It is these arguments which I feel compelled to repudiate as objectively wrong.

Sitalatma Prabhu,
You say, "There's another list there where women could be considered under the category "whatever" but that is a rather loose interpretation, it's not direct evidence." I assume you are not aware of Srila Prabhupada answer when directly questioned about this subject:
"Actually one who has attained the perfection, she can become guru. But man or woman, unless one has attained the perfection…. Yei krsna-tattva-vetta sei guru haya [Cc. Madhya 8.128]. The qualification of guru is that he must be fully cognizant of the science of Krsna. Then he or she can become guru. Yei krsna-tattva-vetta, sei guru haya. [break]( see Women Guru's: Yes But Not So Many SP) by Ajamila Prabhu"
In ISKCON we do not accept Srila Prabhupada's answers about the meaning of verses as a relative opinion, or an interpretation; and we certainly do not consider them, "loose". He is the Founder Acharya and he says that this verse applies to women. When Srila Prabhupada is questioned directly on a subject his answer is direct evidence.
You also say, "The quote about word guru equally applicable to diksa guru as well as all other kind of gurus is in response to a particular argument from caste brahmanas. It doesn't mean that the same answer would be given if the argument was raised about women desiring to give out diksa."
You then say, "Also, if we accept that there's no distinction between diksa and siksa gurus, then why this big push to legitimize this transition from siksa to diksa?"
The cast brahmana's were trying to make a false distinction between siksha and diksha to prohibit other castes from initiating. The point is, if there is no distinction you cannot say siksha is allowed and prohibit dikhsa. You are arguing that there is no distinction but also saying the distinction of allowing women siksha gurus and prohibiting diksha guru should remain. This is not logical. The push may be to make our policies logical and consistent with the scriptures.

What you say is 100% correct. Present generation is some what more intelligent and bold . they know the ins and outs of their parents , they also know how to exploit them and their position in the society as a result of which they are never short of money and thus they get involved in rash driving of big costly luxury cars in drunken condition , in gang rapes , in murders and what not.Answered by nemi jain, 27 Jun '12 08:17 am
When I am corrupt and dishonest, I have no morals to teach my children. Before teaching my children, I must be clean and be a role model. Then only, whatever I say to my children will have some respect and impact on them.Answered by Seshadri Srinivasan, 27 Jun '12 08:11 am
Though logically , it's difficult for any to preach, indulging in undesirable activities, it's better such people tell what's desirable to their wards so that they don't make an impression what they see is not fair and should desist from such things for the welfare of humanity.

praying for you and your little guy... how scary
Stalking for an update. Hope that everything is okay.....
Praying for you and your little boy!
He didnt have any episodes last night.
Here is the video of the seizure...please do t watch if you are sensitive. It breaks my heart to see it. It happens right after ten seconds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1wRG0J-Sx0
Praying you get some answers soon, and glad to hear there were no episodes last night.
Awww poor little sweetie! This must be so hard for your family, not knowing what is causing this. I pray that the Drs can figure it out fast. Thank goodness for mommy instincts! :hugs:
I'm so sorry that you guys are going through this. I hope the doctors can figure out what is wrong with your sweet boy. He is an absolute doll. :hugs:
I am so sorry :( I hope they give you some answers soon. I'll be praying for you all.
I am so sorry momma. Hoping you get answers today. He sure is a cutie.
Your poor sweet baby boy :( I'm so glad that you guys are at the hospital and are being watched carefully. I went through something similar with DS#2 when he was 5 days old. He did the seizure thing and then would stop breathing. After a very long torturous 10 days in the hospital with every test under the sun, we were sent home with infant CPR instructions and the diagnosis of Silent Reflux. We were also sent home with a monitor that tracked his breathing and heart rhythms and he wore that until 6 months old. I had many many sleepless nights of that stupid alarm sounding, but boy am I glad we had it. Ds is now a very healthy 8 yr old with no lasting effects of the breathing and seizure episodes. I hope and pray that the Drs are able to figure out whats going on with your precious little man. So very stressful :hugs:
:hug: I didn't see anything that looked like a siezure, looked like the startle reflex and a bit of a fuss? But I'm not sure what I'm looking for. I hope that you can get some answers. What are they doing for him now?
Hope you're hanging in there.
I agree, he's adorable! For what it's worth, I didn't see anything even vaguely seizure-like there. I did see some reflux-looking behavior, especially in his facial expression and lip movements. I hope you get it figured out soon!
Poor sweet little boy, praying for him :(
They are saying they are benign seizures. His gi dr told us he really doesn't think it's caused by reflux. They did a spinal tap today:( I did not like that. Waiting on the basic results from that.

we are also incorporating the traditional colors
of the former Adirondack Red Wings which we know
our fans will really enjoy."

Campbell Soup Company (NYSE:CPB)
The Company together with its subsidiaries is a global manufacturer and marketer of branded convenience food products.
The only reason my underperform pitch is losing is the "flight to safety". Yes it's a big name. Noone's going to stop eating campbell's soup. But as an investment, a money making machine for the owners how is it? Price to book value- poor, PEG ratio-poor, price to cash flow-horrible. Three strikes it's out. When people stop being so scared they'll move their money to businesses that are better investments and this'll underperform the S&P.
I'm telling you when Clinton was Pres I was eating plenty of angus beef and plenty of lobster. Past 8 years of Bush and the crook Cheney MMM MMM good has been a way of life.

The laws of man are guarantors of order, a necessary control against the inherent greediness of our species.
Nature, on the other hand, shows ordered patterns at all scales: trees branch, and so do rivers, bodies, and arteries; tides and planetary orbits are periodic, day follows night, the seasons alternate, the moon has phases. The display of order in Nature allowed for a methodic counting and organizing as a means to gain some level of control over what was otherwise distant and unapproachable, the marching patterns of a world moving in ways beyond human reach.

Rite-Aid Trims Promotions
Rite-Aid and Walgreens led the way among retailers cutting back on private label promotions last week, according to a report exclusively for PLBuyer's eReport from Chicago-based market research firm Market Track.
Rite-Aid trimmed its private label promotions by 68.9 percent from the same week a year ago, while Walgreens cut back on its promotions by 32.3 percent. The drugstores were among the eight retailers followed by Market Track that cut back from a year ago.
CVS, the third of the big three drugstore chains in the U.S., added to its promotions from last year, increasing by 24.8 percent. It was among the seven retailers who added to promotions, led by Giant-Landover (+42%) and Target (+37.3%).
Market Track's analysis reflects regional versioning and market specific differences in circulars. This is accomplished through an extensive collections process, including physically obtaining the ads from the various markets in which they are distributed. In instances where retailers send additional circulars to a limited number of markets, Market Track's information reflects these nuances to give a view of what is happening nationally.

It's been called Jacob's Field since it was built it 1994, named after the Indians old owner. But the naming rights have expired, and rather than keep the name, the Indians have sold the rights to Progressive Insurance. In the past I could catch a game at the Jake, now where am I going. The new stadium needs a nickname, the Prog just doesn't sound right. All I know is the Indians better use this extra money on keeping the team a playoff contender or else I'm going to call it P. Field.
Either that or I'll just call it Jacob's Field.

William Wilberforce
British Abolitionists
Wilberforce worked closely with or was influenced by many abolitionists during the campaign to end slavery.
Granville Sharp (1735-1813)
As well as Thomas Clarkson, there were several other key figures involved in the abolition movement, one of these was the co-founder of the abolition society, Granville Sharp. Sharp's interest in slavery began in 1765 when he met a former slave, Jonathan Strong. Strong had been badly treated by his owner and when his owner tried to sell Stong back into slavery, Sharp took the case to the Lord Mayor who fought on Strong's behalf and as a result, Strong was freed. The success of his actions prompted Sharp to devote his efforts into whether it was lawful for a slave to be made to leave Britain and secured a ruling in 1772 by the Lord Chief Justice, which decided that slave owners could not legally force slaves to return to the colonies once they had come to Britain. This was regarded by many as a huge step forward in securing British involvement in the slave trade. Sharp is also known for engineering a resettlement project in Sierra Leone, west Africa, during the 1780s, and persuaded former slaves to move there.
Hannah More (1745-1833)
Hannah More was the most influential female figure within the Abolition Society. She was a writer and playwright but became dissillusioned with the theatre and turned her attention to the Abolition movement. She was friends
with John Newton, Sir Charles and Lady Margaret Middleton, James Ramsay and Thomas Clarkson. In 1787 she met Wilberforce and this was the start of a long and sucessful friendship and her involvement in the abolition movement and also with the 'Clapham Sect'. She wrote many religious themed pieces and poems including "The Sorrows of Yamba" (or, The Negro
Woman's Lamentation) in 1795 and a novel in 1809 entitled, "Coelebs in Search of a Wife".
James Stephen (1758 - 1832)
Another abolition activist was James Stephen. Stephen had studied law in Britain but was tempted by the prospect of making his fortune in the West Indies and moved there in 1783. On arrival in Barbados, he was asked to attended the trial of several slaves who had been wrongly accused of murder. They were all found guilty and sentenced to death. Stephen felt horrified at such a blatent miscarriage of justice and vowed never to own slaves himself. He began taking action by sending information and evidence back to the abolitionists in Britain about the inhumane treatment of slaves who worked on plantations. Stephen later returned to Britain and became active in the abolition movement. It was Stephen who instigated the 1806 ban by parliament on British ships carrying slaves to French owned territories and this act
was partly responsible for the abolition of the British slave trade in 1807. Stephen later became an MP and campaigned against slavery for the rest of his life.
James Ramsey (1733 - 1789)
James Ramsey was a naval doctor who was asked to treat a case of dysentery which had already killed many people on board a slave ship in 1759. Ramsey was so shocked by the conditions on board that it led him to leave the navy and he became an Anglican minister on the Caribbean island of St Kitts. As a clergyman, Ramsey preached to the slaves who worked on the plantations much to the anger of the plantation owners. Ramsey returned to Britain ten years later and became Rector at the local church of Sir Charles and Lady Middleton and he also became their close friend. During his time in the Abolition Movement, Ramsay wrote several books based on his experiences of slavery and the slave trade. Because of his unique experiences of the Transatlantic slave trade and life on the plantations, he was asked to give evidence to parliament and worked closely with Wilberforce and the Abolition Committee.
Elizabeth Heyrick (d. 1831)
Heyrick was a Quaker who was responsible for publishing a very sucessful booklet entitled "Immediate, not Gradual Abolition", in 1824. She felt impatient at the length of time taken to end the slave trade and campaigned for its immediate abolition and was publicly criticised for sympathising with slaves who had undertaken revolt on the plantations in the West Indies. Her booklet helped to start more than 70 British women's anti-slavery societies and she was a key figure in the sugar boycott.

Cognitive Abilities and Labour Market Outcomes
AbstractWe contribute to the literature on the relationship between cognitive abilities and labour market outcomes providing first evidence for Germany. In particular, cross-sectional data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) are used, which include two measures of cognitive ability, one test of fluid mechanics (speed test) and another test of crystallised pragmatics (word fluency test). We find a positive relationship between cognitive abilities and economic activity, as workers with high ability test scores are less likely to be unemployed. In addition, results from Mincer-type OLS and 2SLS regressions suggest that mechanics abilities are correlated with wages in a significantly positive way for West German workers, even when educational attainment is controlled for, whereas pragmatics of cognition do not affect earnings significantly. However, we also find that ability and education are inseparable determinants of earnings, which confirms findings of recent studies for other countries.

"Here, take the seat next to Robert." The teacher said as she pointed to the empty seat next to Bob.
"I'm Bob." he said as she sat down.
"Oh, I'm Lilly." she said as she turned to look at him. She had a British accent, and Bob found himself instantly mesmerized.
"Let me see your schedule... Maybe we have some classes together." Bob said. Lilly handed him her schedule, and said nothing. "Wow, our schedule is identical, except for our home rooms. If you want I can show you around."
"Oh, Thank you! Now I know I won't get lost!" Lilly said, relief in her voice.
Bob loved how quiet her voice was. Actually, he loved everything about her... No... he loved her.
"Of course, because I won't let you." He replied, a sly grin spreading across his face.
"Gerard, Mikey, Frankie, Ray, this is Lilly. Lilly, these are the guys." Bob proudly introduced Lilly to his best friends at lunch.
"Pleased to meet you all." Lilly said with a smile.
"You always that quiet?" Frankie asked.
"Well... yes... I suppose I am." Lilly replied, her cheeks turning crimson with embarrassment.
"That's okay, a week with us will change that!" Gerard quickly butted in. Lilly laughed.
"If you don't mind, I'm going to go get a soft drink." Lilly said as she turned to walk away.
"A what?" Ray asked, a puzzled look on his face. Lilly turned to face him and laughed.
"Oh, sorry, a soda, or juice." Lilly replied before leaving.
"She's from England." Bob dreamily informed his friends as he watched her walk through the cafeteria to the soda machine.
"Well... thanks for the report captain obvious, but while you were up on cloud nine, we all made that observation." Mikey said with a laugh.
"Does she ever speak above a whisper?" Gerard asked.
"Is she really that quiet?" Bob asked. Gerard shook his head and laughed.
"Yeah she is." He replied. Bob thought for a minute then shrugged.
"Then I guess not." Bob replied. He was the only one that didn't seem to notice.
"So, when are you going to pop the question?" Mikey playfully asked as he reached across the table and punched Bob's arm.
"Don't be stupid... I don't know yet." Bob replied. There was an uncomfortable silence as the friends tried to figure out if Bob was serious.
"You know... She'd be Bobbert's first real girlfriend since-" Frankie started.
"Drop it!" Gerard said, looking harshly at Frankie. Frankie was referring to Bob's ex-girlfriend, Lisa, who had cheated on him... with the entire football team. Frankie shrugged and looked at Bob, who seemed to not have noticed the mention of his ex.
"Drop what?" Lilly asked from behind Bob. God, was she ever tiny. They'd never be able to know if she snuck up on them.
"Oh, nothing." Bob replied as he knocked Ray's things off the seat next to him so Lilly had somewhere to sit.
"What the fuck man?" Ray shouted as he jumped up and gathered his things into one pile. Lilly laughed as she reached down and helped Ray.
"You're a colorful bunch of people. I can tell I'm gonna get on well with you all." Lilly said as she sat down and opened her can of Coke.
"So, we all have a band... You wanna come watch us practice after school today?" Bob asked. Gerard scratched his temple as he looked at Lilly's unsure expression.
"Why, that sounds delightful, but I'll have to call my mum and ask her first." Lilly replied, not looking up from her soda can.
"We'll have you home before dinner." Gerard butted in, hoping to salvage the situation.
"It's not dinner I'm worried about... It's tea time. It's supposed to be right after school." Lilly replied.
"You have tea time?" Mikey excitedly asked.
"Every day." Lilly replied.
"Oh, that's SO cool. I love British stuff!" Mikey said. Lilly laughed.
"I hear that a lot."
"So, do you wanna come or not?" Bob asked.
"I told you, I have to-" Lilly began
"Oh, live a little!" Bob replied.

Barney Frank is not an advocate for LGBT issues. He's an advocate for gay issues, with lesbians as an afterthought. He's not an advocate for trans issues at all, and is indeed completely regressive on them, supporting a national bathroom bill that would force trans people into the wrong bathrooms, endangering and embarrassing them.

Personally, I worry more that hormonal male contraceptives (while a great idea) are going to have even more men insisting that a condom isn't necessary.
I'm on the pill because a 3-month cycle of Yaz smooths out my otherwise-nasty hormonal cycle (which, in turns, affects my bipolar).

I've had one unintended pregnancy and one abortion, and I'd really prefer not to go through that again, if I can help it.

Hey everyone,
Everything is set. Autographed photos are $30/each + the cost of shipping and sales tax. Tried to include shipping but it varies so much internationally that it wouldn't be fair to ask everyone to pay the same. And those headshots and sturdy photo mailers are way more expensive than I initially budgeted.
To place an order, please visit my tumblr page and select an option from the drop-down menu on the right column. Make sure to select the option that corresponds to the location where you want the item(s) to be shipped.
What you get: 8x10 Autographed Headshot (see photo below) on high-quality glossy paper, personalized thank you message, and shipped in photo mailer for protection. Domestic orders may take 5-7 business days; international orders may take 2-3 weeks.
**The first 50 fans to place an order will be recognized as my ALL STAR FANS on my page and may receive exclusive offers and discounts on future merchandise.**
Thank you for your interest and overwhelming support. Feel free to share with your friends and fellow ME/Kaidan fans. =)
