where cartoon cats meet socially liberal politics with a republican twist.
considered a light blue liberal in the real world, a moderate on tumblr.
main blog
let's tango
extremism, libel, bullshit, and threats of violence are not tolerated here.
if you do not have a logical, coherent argument, do not debate with me. do not bombard me with your political views. i refuse to do anything but respectfully discuss politics and call out bullshit.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Why is it that the loudest voices are coming from those who are supposedly "on the margins"?
Could it be because those people aren't actually marginalized as much as they believe they are?
Tumblr does not hear the vast majority of indigenous voices, because the vast majority of indigenous voices are still being silenced. Having accessible internet access is still a luxury in a lot of our communities. This is marginalization.
No schools, or inadequate infrastructure. This is marginalization.
No potable water, environmental poisons from nearby large-scale developments. Denial after denial that our people are getting cancer from tailing ponds. This is marginalization.
No adequate treatment for addictions, insufficient health service. This is marginalization.
Wilted lettuce that costs five times what it does down south. This is marginalization.
Missing and murdered and seen as garbage, always assumed to be prostitutes as though this justifies our deaths. "High risk lifestyle"? Being visible Native American is a high risk lifestyle. This is marginalization.
Headdresses. Struggling with people taking you for white. Struggling with people taking you for black. That is what Tumblr hears about. People claiming to be marginalized and oppressed. People who speak more loudly than anyone else. People who speak over Native Americans who are real, living breathing members of their Nation. People who are upset about being outside, demanding to be let in.
That is not how it works. You do not get to ignore all of your privilege and pretend that you experience the same marginalization. You do not get to cry about not being accepted, when you do not live our lives and never have. You do not get our sympathy because that "wasn't your choice". It was not our choice either.
How can you possibly "be one of us" when you refuse to listen to our concerns about the identities you claim for yourselves? You can pretend that our refusal to accept this is a form of colonization, and ignore the irony inherent in you yourselves telling us who we must accept and on what grounds. You can do this, but we see you doing it.
If you were raised outside, disconnected, or are only vaguely, minutely Native American, you need to stop speaking so loudly. You need to listen, and learn. You need to become familiar with our communities and our voices. You cannot create these things in your head and then guide yourselves with the images you have fabricated. You may not notice that you are doing this, but we see you.
We see you.
You do not see us. You do not know us at all. And until you do, you will never be among us.
Astrid: trololol
everyone please meet Speck.
we aren't sure who this Sy person is though :3c
-Petra, Elsbeth & Astrid
Astrid: By Speck. I had to give up Bill O'Reilly for this. So pay attention.
Petra: Astrid is trying to say that this post is extremely informative and that she finds it so valuable that she has agreed to stop listening to bullshit in order to have the privilege to post it.
EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN needs to know EXACTLY whats going on because this whole debt ceiling thing is just the inciting spark to a nuclear explosion of our government and everything americans hold dear to their luxurious existence these are not shock tactics literally we are near to being over as a country
heres the deal best i can explain it:
so looking at the most prominent GOP candidates for this upcoming election year, I will tell you right now as to why we will all probably be voting Democrat, even little ole Republican me, as much as it pains me to say it.
Anyways, that's the list as of now. Hoping Fred Karger will gain some popularity in the next thirteen or so months. (Petra is making those "JOIN THE INDEPENDANT PARTY, ASTRID" eyes at me. Ugh Petra. No just no.)
As of now… it pains me to say… Obama is looking like a mighty fine choice. Will continue to keep track of Ron Paul & maybe some others. I wonder if NPR has interviewed any of these guys yet?
Anyways, Jon Stewart is on meow, and I promised Petra I would watch with her. Until later!

Queue up the cynic's… Same Old' Lions. Well, we have all waited to find out what the 2012 Detroit Lions are and the verdict is in… The Lions are BAD, 4-5 bad at this point in the season. To have 34 points put up on them with a Christian Ponder quarterbacked team and without one of the league's most dangerous weapons in Percy Harvin puts up a giant red flag. Oh yeah, the Lions ended up losing 34-24… After this game Lions nation should have questions. Not about the game, but about the team moving forward. Have the Lions peaked with Schwartz? Do the Lions need another coach, a big name coach perhaps to reach that next level? The Detroit Lions have seemed to of hit a wall when trying to move into the next phase of becoming a perennial playoff contender. With all the offseason negative attention Detroit experienced and a team on the field that lacks discipline, everything and everyone should be under heavy scrutiny.

Smokies Are Unique
Great Smoky Mountains National Park is one of the largest protected land areas east of the Rocky Mountains. With over 500,000 acres of forest, the Smokies contain an enormous variety of plants and animals. In terms of biological diversity, a walk from mountain base to peak is often compared to the 2,000 mile hike on the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine.
Black bear by Brian Shults
Cultural History
The Smokies also have a rich cultural history. Cherokee Indians moved into the area over 1,000 years ago, and permanent white settlement began around 1800. Most families depended on farming for their livelihood. Life for many of these families changed with the coming of commercial logging operations around 1900 that stripped trees from three-quarters of what is now park land. Established in 1934, the park was created from more than 6,000 tracts of private and commercial land that were bought with money raised by public and private donations.
Biosphere Reserve
The park is designated as an International Biosphere Reserve by the United Nations. The international system contains 525 reserves in 105 countries with the primary objectives of conserving genetic diversity and coordinating environmental education, research, and monitoring. The park is also a unit of the Southern Appalachian Man and Biosphere Reserve cluster. This membership enhances the park's commitment to cooperative efforts in environmental education, research, resource management, and public involvement.
The park's designation as a World Heritage Site and a State Natural Heritage Area by Tennessee and North Carolina reinforces the value of its natural and cultural resources.
Located within a two-day drive for half of the nation's population, Great Smoky Mountains National Park has the highest visitation of all the national parks in the country. There are between eight and ten million visits to the park annually. Educational programs offered by rangers, interpretive displays located at the visitor centers, numerous publications, and roadside exhibits explain the unique aspects of the park so that visitors may better understand the area. More importantly, these programs stress why it is crucial to preserve environments such as the Great Smoky Mountains.
Unique Features
The Park's wide recognition as a unique sanctuary is well deserved when one considers just a few of its features:
During the Ice Age, the Smokies were a refuge for hundreds of plant and animal species retreating from advancing glaciers. These species found suitable living conditions in the upper elevations of the Smokies. Because the park contains a variety of habitats, it is now home for some 1,500 species of vascular plants, 10% of which are considered rare, and well over 4,000 non-flowering plant species.
The park has 100 species of native trees, more than all of northern Europe. It also contains one of the largest blocks of virgin temperate deciduous forest in North America. Almost 95% of the park is forested, and about 25% of that area has not been substantially disturbed. Some trees attain record size in the Smokies and are over 20 feet in circumference.
Because of the elevation and orientation of the Great Smoky Mountains, there is a wide variety of plant and animal communities. In a small distance, changes in altitude, temperature, and moisture create entirely different ecosystems.
Endemic Species
The Smokies provide the only habitat in the world for several plant and animal species, including Rugel's ragwort and Jordan's (red-cheeked) salamander. Species new to the scientific community are found nearly every year, especially in the lesser- studied groups, such as the invertebrates.
Inventory & Monitoring
What lives in Great Smoky Mountains National Park? Although the question sounds simple, it is actually extremely complex. Since 1998, an ambitious project named the All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory (ATBI) has brought scientists from around the world to the Smokies to discover the thousands of other species of plant and animal life in the park. No biological survey of this magnitude has ever been completed, anywhere. So far over 17,500 species have been identified in the park and scientists believe many hundreds more are yet to be discovered.
The park uses the results of the ATBI to make critical management decisions. The information is also available to the public via the Internet.
The study is being coordinated by the nonprofit group Discover Life in America. For more information, contact www.dlia.org.
At least 65 native mammals live in the Smokies, along with over 245 species of birds, many of which are here on a seasonal basis. There are 40 reptilian species which include turtles, lizards, and snakes. Amphibian species number 43, and of that figure,
30 are salamanders. This gives the Smokies the distinction of having the most diverse salamander population anywhere in the world. The park has about 76 species of fish, including several species of game fish. Thousands of species of land snails, insects, and spiders are also found in the park.
Historic Structures
Culturally, the park has an unequaled collection of log buildings, including large two-story dwellings and working grist mills—over 100 historic structures in all. Designated historic districts preserve buildings that reflect various aspects of rural life in the Great Smoky Mountains.

Meredith v. Unifund CCR Partners et al - Document 24
Court Description:
MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER, denying 9 MOTION to Dismiss Or In The Alternative, Motion for Change of Venue filed by Sandra Simpson, Zarzaur & Schwartz, P.C. Signed by Hon. Chief Judge Mark E. Fuller on 10/29/08. (Attachments: # 1 appeals checklist)(vma, )
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR T H E MIDDLE DISTRICT OF ALABAMA N O R T H E R N DIVISION C H A R L E S MEREDITH, JR., P l a i n t if f , v. UNIFUND CCR PARTNERS, et al., D e f e n d a n ts . ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) C A S E NO. 2:08-cv-375-MEF ( W O - Do not publish) MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER T h is cause is before the Court on Defendant's Motion to Dismiss or in the Alternative, M o tio n for Change of Venue (Doc. # 9), which Plaintiff has opposed. Alleging violations o f the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), Plaintiff filed his lawsuit in the United S tate s District Court for the Middle District of Alabama. Plaintiff's complaint specifically a lle g e s that venue is appropriate in this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b)(2). See C o m p l. at ¶ 3. Two of the Defendants have claimed that venue is improper in this district a n d urged the Court to either dismiss the case or to transfer it to the United States District C o u rt for the Northern District of Alabama, a district where they contend venue is a p p ro p ria te. Because the Court finds that venue is appropriate in this district, the motion is d u e to be DENIED. BACKGROUND A c c o rd in g to the allegations of the Complaint (Doc. # 1), Defendants are all engaged in the business of collecting debts. Plaintiff alleges that Defendants made repeated efforts to collect a debt from him that he does not owe and that he had formally disputed. Plaintiff re sid e s in Montgomery, Alabama, a city within the Middle District of Alabama. Two of the D e f en d a n ts are foreign corporations engaged in the business of buying, selling, and c o l le c tin g unpaid debts: Centurion Capital Corporation ("Centurion") and Unifund CCR P a rtn e rs ("Unifund"). The remaining two Defendants are a lawyer, Sandra Simpson ("S im p so n " ), and her employer, the law firm, Zarzaur & Schwartz, P.C. ("the Z&S firm"), lo c a te d in Birmingham, Alabama.1 P la in tif f alleges that he received letters from Centurion and the Z&S firm, in 2007, s e e k in g to collect a debt which he was alleged to owe. Plaintiff also claims he received a te le p h o n e call regarding this alleged debt from either Centurion or the Z&S firm. Plaintiff c o n te n d s that he disputed the debt. On May 21, 2007, Simpson filed a lawsuit against P lain tiff on behalf of Centurion. This lawsuit was filed in the Montgomery County Small C la im s Court, and it sought to collect the debt which Plaintiff was alleged to owe. Along w ith the Complaint, Simpson filed an affidavit in which she held herself out as a re p re se n ta tiv e of Centurion and represented that Plaintiff was responsible for the debt they w e re attempting to collect. Plaintiff alleges that the affidavit contained inaccurate and m is le a d in g information about him. Plaintiff denied liability and sought discovery. On A u g u st 20, 2007, Simpson, acting on behalf of Centurion, moved to dismiss the lawsuit a g a in s t Plaintiff in the Montgomery County Small Claims Court without prejudice. Plaintiff a g re e d to the dismissal of the action, but only if it would be with prejudice. The case was 1 Birmingham, Alabama is a city within the Northern District of Alabama. 2 c a lled for trial. Plaintiff and Simpson were present in the Small Claims Court in M o n tg o m e ry County. The judge asked what evidence existed proving that Plaintiff owed the d e b t, and Simpson did not offer any. The judge dismissed the suit with prejudice on S e p te m b e r 18, 2007. On August 30, 2007, Unifund sent Plaintiff a dunning letter advising him that Unifund in te n d e d to collect the same debt that Centurion had been pursuing. On October 31, 2007, th e Z&S firm sent Plaintiff a letter advising him that it was now attempting to collect this d e b t on behalf of Unifund. No individual signed this letter. On December 3, 2007, Simpson, th is time acting on behalf of Unifund, filed a second lawsuit against Plaintiff in the M o n tg o m e ry County Small Claims Court, for the purpose of collecting the same debt which h ad been the subject of the prior action by Simpson on behalf of Centurion. The Z&S firm th e n sent a letter to Plaintiff threatening to file the lawsuit which had already been filed in M o n tg o m e ry. Against Plaintiff denied liability and asserted various defenses including res ju d ica ta . On December 18, 2007, Simpson sent Plaintiff a letter about this matter seeking to collect the debt and inviting him to discuss the matter so that it could be resolved without g o in g to court. In this letter, Simpson indicated she was acting on behalf of Unifund. P la i n t i f f alleges that this letter contained materially false statements concerning the debt a lle g e d ly owed. Plaintiff retained a lawyer who confronted Simpson regarding the res ju d ic a ta bar to the collection action. Thereafter, Simpson filed a motion asking the Small C la im s Court of Montgomery County to dismiss the lawsuit with prejudice, which motion w a s granted. Plaintiff alleges harm arising out of these actions by the Defendants. 3 D IS C U S S IO N U n d e r 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a), "[t]he district court of a district in which is filed a case la yin g venue in the wrong division or district shall dismiss, or if it be in the interest of justice, tra n sf e r such case to any district or division in which it could have been brought." Where, a s here, a civil action wherein subject matter jurisdiction is not founded on diversity of c i t iz e n s h i p , venue is proper in: a judicial district where any defendant resides if all d e f en d a n ts reside in the same state; a judicial district "in which a substantial part of the e v e n ts or omissions giving rise to the claim occurred" or a substantial part of the property s u b je c t of the action is situated; or a judicial district in which any defendant may be found, if there is no district in which the action may otherwise be brought. 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b). In this case, Simpson and the Z&S firm argue that the alleged violation of the FDCPA o c c u r re d in the Northern District of Alabama because they mailed debt demand letters, in itia te d telephone calls, and drafted and mailed the lawsuit from its offices in Birmingham, w h i c h is in the Northern District. Defendant cites Jenkins Brick Co. v. Bremer, which in v o l v e d a suit by an employer against a former employee for breach of a noncompete clause o f an employment contract. 321 F.3d 1366 (11th Cir. 2003). In Bremer, the plaintiff p re se n te d the employment contract to the defendant in Georgia, the defendant signed the c o n tra c t in Georgia, the defendant's worked in Georgia, and defendant's work for the c o m p e tito r that gave rise to the lawsuit occurred in Georgia. The Court concluded that the d e f en d a n t's actions that gave rise to the suit "occurred only in Georgia." In this case, many of the Defendants' actions that gave rise to Plaintiff's suit occurred 4 in the Middle District. The Defendants twice sued the Plaintiff in Montgomery County and p a rtic ip a te d in court hearings there. Defendants cite no federal case to support their position t h a t venue is proper in the Northern District because the mail that gave rise to the M o n tgo m ery County lawsuits originated from the Z&S firm's offices in the Northern D is tric t. More persuasive than Defendants' arguments are those made by Plaintiff and the c a se s which Plaintiff cites. Including the federal cases that support the proposition that, in a case that arises from debt collection mail, venue is proper in the district where the debtor re s id e s because the injury did not occur until the mail was received. See, e.g., Bates v. C&S A d ju s te rs , Inc., 980 F.2d 865, 868 (2d Cir. 1992); Bailey v. Clegg, Brush & Assocs., Inc., No. 1 :90 -cv -27 0 2 -C A M , 1991 WL 143461 at *2 (N.D. Ga. June 14, 1991); Murphy v. Allen C o u n ty Claims & Adjustments, 550 F. Supp. 128, 130-31 (S.D. Ohio 1982); Gachette v. T r i-C ity Adjustment Bureau, 519 F. Supp. 311, 313-14 (N.D. Ga. 1981). The rationale b e h in d these decisions applies to this case. Plaintiff did not suffer any injury until the mail that initiated the lawsuit was received in Montgomery County. Therefore, a "substantial part o f the events" that gave rise to Plaintiff's claims occurred in the Middle District, and thus v e n u e is proper here. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that Motion to Dismiss or in the Alternative, M o tio n for Change of Venue (Doc. # 9) is DENIED. D o n e this the 29 th day of October, 2008. /s/ Mark E. Fuller CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 5

MARYLAND CITY, MD -- The pilot of a small plane was taken to University of Maryland Shock Trauma after crashing into two homes in Maryland City Thursday morning.
Anne Arundel County Police said at about 11:20 a.m. that the pilot was "conscious and alert," and that there were no injuries on the ground.
Maryland State Police identified the pilot as Ronald H. Dixon, 70, of the 12000 block of Millstream Drive in Bowie.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the plane, a Beechcraft BE 23, crashed at about 10 a.m. after departing from Suburban Airport.
Maryland State Police Sgt. Marc Black said that, for unknown reasons, the plane " didn't have enough altitude to clear the shrubbery. It struck a tree," then hit the two houses.
Investigators said they learned that the plane didn't clear the trees by talking to witnesses.
Donald Phillips told Patch he witnessed the crash and that he thought he saw the plane hit a tree before crashing.
"I knew he was going down. I said, 'That plane's going down.'"
"Looks like his right wing hit that pine tree, and it turned the whole aircraft," sending it into the house.
One of the two houses hit by the plane has been deemed "uninhabitable," according to Black. The building inspector was en route to the scene at about 12:30 p.m.
No one was in the house at the time of the crash, according to Black.
Police report Brock Bridge Road is closed at Brock Bridge Elementary School, where the Maryland State Police will be taking questions from media.
The FAA, TSA and National Transportation Safety Board are handling the investigation.
Also on scene are the State Police, Anne Arundel County Police, and Anne Arundel County Fire Department, which handled the fuel spill -- and onlookers. One firefighter had to tell an onlooker at the crash scene to put out a cigarette, for fear of starting a fire.
The area around the crash site remains closed due to the severity of the incident, according to Maryland State Police. The FAA is set to remove the plane for further investigation.
With reporting by Patch Editors Jenni Pompi and Brandie Jefferson.

- Built-in Avalung system significantly extends your fresh air supply in case you're caught in an avalanche and buried beneath the snow
- Fresh air is pulled from the valve box by your shoulder, through the Avalung mouthpiece, and when you exhale, CO2 is expelled from the exhaust port by your waist
- Avalung mouthpiece and tubing stow away in the shoulder strap when not in use, but are easy to reach so you can extend the mouthpiece just before you drop in
- Diagonal ski carry cable extends when you need it and stays retracted when not in use
- Minimalist suspension design uses lightweight straps and webbing waistbelt that carry light loads comfortably and allow for ample adjustability
- Hydration sleeve allows you to use a hydration bladder to stay hydrated and the insulated design keeps your water from freezing solid
- Enclosed shovel and probe organizer pocket makes it easy to find your entire avie-tool kit quickly, and the enclosed design protects your essentials

Can I just buy the breathing tube? I have the pack but the tube didn't come with it.

Hey Thomas,
You can buy the AvaLung itself, here is the link to where you can find it:
If the link doesn't work, just search "AvaLung" and that will pull it up.

To clarify what Carver said. I beleive you have the regular Bandit Pack (http://www.backcountry.com/black-diamond-bandit-winter-pack-690cu-in?ti=U2VhcmNoIFJlc3VsdHM6YmFuZGl0OjE6MzpiYW5kaXQ) and unfortunately you cannot retrofit the pack with an avalung. The guts of the pack are different. What Carver linked you to is a stand alone Avalung unit that you wear underneath the pack. It CANNOT be added into a pack, and attempting to do so may cause serious injury or death if you get buried. Use the standalone unit only as directed.

It's a nice little backpack and is the perfect size for my use. I never ski without it.
It store just what I need as in shovel, probe, extra gloves and so on. Even with what I got in it I can easily sit and relax on the ski lift.

This bag is great in trying to get up the trail as quickly as possible, but in terms of overall carrying space it is a struggle. Need at least 10 more L to feel comfortable in fitting everything that is needed for the BC.

Born Too Soon: The Global Action Report on Preterm Birth provides the first-ever national, regional and global estimates of preterm birth. The report shows the extent to which preterm birth is on the rise in most countries, and is now the second leading cause of death globally for children under five, after pneumonia.
Addressing preterm birth is now an urgent priority for reaching Millennium Development Goal 4, calling for the reduction of child deaths by two-thirds by 2015. This report shows that rapid change is possible and identifies priority actions for everyone.
This inspiring report is a joint effort of almost 50 international, regional and national organizations, led by the March of Dimes, The Partnership for Maternal, Newborn & Child Health, Save the Children and the World Health Organization in support of the Every Woman Every Child effort, led by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
Born Too Soon proposes actions for policy, programs and research by all partners – from governments to NGOs to the business community -- that if acted upon, will substantially reduce the toll of preterm birth, especially in high-burden countries.

My good friend and a fellow epz member Simon Green takes nine awards in Januarys awards.
Some of the images have been on his epz site and one was even entered in the long exposure competition.(Didn`t get anywhere)
got to give it to Peter he gave a EA for the image of the bride in the heather.
Well done Simon Green....... Some cracking shots on that link.
Congrats to Simon.
Nine in one month is indeed impressive - I managed ten in total across six months from July - December last year, and considered myself to have done well.
I have two this month - and as usual - not the ones that I thought had any chance.....whilst many question Pete's judgement and Kim does as well I have to say that as with Pete the SWPP are allowed to make their own decisions whether as entrants we agree or not.
Of course the real serious stuff is the end of year annual awards.....
and now this year the 20x16 print competition which will see us put our money where our mouths are....I wonder how many people will be entering multiple prints per category in that one !!!
I don`t question Pete at all,my comment was that he`d given Simon an award for one,and that the competition entry that didn`t get anywhere for Simon,but won at SWPP was judged by some one else,and anyway we don`t all like the same things in a shot(thank god).
Thanks for your reply.

PVP is the most fun thing in WoW IMO, I like the arcade tuned fight against a real human opponent, its so much fun compared to a fight with a mob lol :)
And I cant understand why people would play PVE Only (IMO its because they lack skill, so for me PVE server are kinda practice before you jump on real hardcore realms lol) its so boring just to do world PVE lol... I like the fact that if you leave the alliance zone, you are in danger, its more realist ; You need to always check behind your shoulder for incoming players. It add a little "something" to the farming runs too !
World PVP All the way ! Its what Warcraft is about :)

Business Cycles in the Equilibrium Model of Labor Search and Self-Insurance
AbstractThis paper studies the cyclical properties the standard Mortensen-Pissarides model of labor search and matching embedded in the real business cycles model with capital, risk-averse agents, and lack of private insurance against unemployment risk. The model enables a direct comparison between the business cycle implications of the model and the U.S. aggregate data. It is found that the model with Nash bargaining wage setting rule fails to replicate the volatility of unemployment and vacancies observed in data, as shown in Shimer(2005) using the model without capital

'That's My Boy': Sandler Gives Birth to a Hateful Comedy
James Rocchi, Special to MSN Movies
It's not hard to imagine the slow, grinding trudge of any film critic as he or she walks toward a new Adam Sandler film, with established past knowledge weighing down every step and yet-to-be-determined possible future quality as the only thing even moving his or her feet. Sandler's filmography proves, simultaneously, that he's occasionally capable of good, light, charming work and that, by and large, he has less and less interest in doing so. "The Wedding Singer," "Punch-Drunk Love," "Funny People" -- Sandler can play a character, deliver a joke and win the audiences over through charm. He can also simply show up as himself, croak unfunny things in an unfunny accent and degrade almost all of humanity in the unclean pursuit of a cheap laugh. The problem is that the former does not make a lot of money, and the latter does.
Also read: Adam Sandler's 10 Worst Movies
"That's My Boy" is another Sandler sleepwalk. He plays Donny Berger, who, as a high school student, had an illicit fling with his teacher (Eva Amurri Martino), which resulted in a child. The first point to be made is that if a comedy began with a male teacher having an affair with a female student under the age of consent, you'd hope people would be appalled; the reverse, when contemplated, should be just as disturbing. After a brief fling with '80s notoriety, Donny is, in 2012, a horrible loser, and played by Sandler with an awkward mush-mouthed Baaaaaahston accent that serves no purpose. His son left at 18, and Donny's never bothered to look for him. Now, owing the IRS $43,000 with the alternatives of paying up or going to jail, Donny finds that his son, now known as Todd (Andy Samberg), is a wealthy hedge-fund manager getting married the coming weekend ...
Search: More on Adam Sandler | More on Andy Samberg
You can predict the rest of the plot: Todd learns to lighten up from wedding crasher Donny, while Donny gets to be admired by every other character until a deus ex machina huffs and wheezes its way into the finale of the film to save him. It's hardly new, and a plot that could have been improved by surrounding it with real character and real comedy. Instead, though, we get a series of jokes around the idea that every female character in the film is either a nymphomaniac or works at a strip club. Or how every character of color is a joke as well, like the morbidly obese black stripper Donny takes advice from to the Asian servants at Todd's boss's house, seen licking plates as revenge for their boss's racism. At one point, a female character sniffs a stain twice, then licks it, confirming it's a bodily fluid we shall not name. Sandler makes love to an octogenarian, in a three-way. We repeatedly see a fabric-veiled shape of Sandler's character's erect penis, held near the faces of other characters. If someone told you about almost every joke in "That's My Boy," you would think they were either a sociopath or a budding serial killer. So why is it funny from Sandler? Do we want to see characters humiliated so we can feel above them? Are audiences that primed to accept Sandler, no questions asked?
There are some islands to cling to in the sea of blood, spit, product-placement Budweiser and semen "That's My Boy" sloshes over us. Samberg tries so hard to actually make Todd a character, you almost feel bad for him. James Caan and Milo Ventimiglia hurl themselves into small supporting parts with the kind of brio that shines out even when surrounded by dreck. And in noting that the funniest performance in "That's My Boy" is by Vanilla Ice as himself, I intend that as a kind compliment to Mr. Ice and as unkind perspective about everyone else. Director Sean Anders ("Hot Tub Time Machine," "Sex Drive") and screenwriter David Caspe ("Happy Endings") have done smarter work than this, and better work; you can feel the Sandler sensibilities, no doubt reinforced by the band of mediocrities who enable him (Nick Swardson, Allen Covert, Colin Quinn, all of whom are less collaborators with Sandler than co-conspirators), drag everything down.
At one point, we watch Sandler's character masturbate for about two minutes, which is a nice metaphor -- much like "Grown Ups," I'm sure making this film was fun for him, but not nearly as much fun for anyone who expects more than come, sex crimes and goofy voices in a comedy. After I saw 'That's My Boy," I walked out of the theater shell-shocked, and a fellow moviegoer -- not a member of the press -- looked askance at me and said, "Were you confounded by that like I was? I mean, it's 2012, and we're still making jokes like that?" Apparently, Adam Sandler is. And until moviegoing America quits selecting movies based on low expectations, familiar faces and name recognition, we'll still make those jokes profitable. The fault is not in the star, but in ourselves.
James Rocchi's writings on film have appeared at Cinematical.com, Netflix.com, AMCtv.com, IFC.com, SFGate.com and in Mother Jones magazine. He was also the on-air film critic for San Francisco's CBS-5 from 2006 to 2008. He now lives in Los Angeles, where every ending is a twist ending.

Tuesday, May 28, 2013 - New Electronic Medical Record System Enhances Patient Safety at Elkhart General Hospital
Elkhart, Ind. - Elkhart General Hospital is preparing to implement a new electronic medical records (EMR) system, Cerner Millennium+. Elkhart General's partnership with Cerner will further enhance patient safety through the use of the latest in EMR technology. The new system will safely, accurately and efficiently track a patient's health history and hospital stay.
In addition to improved patient safety, the new system offers better communication, turnaround time and clinician access to the medical record any time and any place. Physicians can make more informed decisions at the patient's bedside with Cerner's capabilities such as checking for adverse drug effects when medications are prescribed, as well as other patient-specific information.
"At Elkhart General, we are committed to patient safety and implementing Cerner is just another example of that commitment," said Greg Losasso, Hospital President. "This new system will give patients peace of mind that their medical records are accurate, safe and quickly accessible for clinicians to provide the highest quality of care."
Cerner allows staff to be more engaged in patient orders and patient care – a win-win for patients, nurses and physicians.
"Transitioning from paper to electronic records is all about patient care," said Thomas Mellin, M.D., Chief Medical Information Officer. "It will enhance patient safety by improved allergy and drug interaction checking and eliminate doctor's illegible handwriting. It will improve quality by standardizing care with evidence-based order plans for medical and surgical conditions, and it will improve efficiency by sending the doctor's orders directly to the intended location without sitting in a queue for a unit assistant to take the information from paper and put into the computer."
The intuitive system is set up with different modules that all work together, including PowerChart for nursing and physicians, RadNet for the radiology department and PharmNet for the pharmacy department. The EMR system also includes a hospital-wide Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE).
"Cerner is where physicians will work and play, so to speak," said CJ Wachs, R.N., MSN, Clinical Director of Informatics. "It's like Microsoft Office, only better, because each module within Cerner works together."
The Cerner transition is another example of collaboration and enhanced patient safety between Beacon health System's two hospitals – Elkhart General and Memorial Hospital of South Bend. Memorial had previously implemented Cerner, which allowed for cost savings and accelerated implementation at Elkhart General. Most importantly, with both hospitals on the same EMR system, the hospitals and medical groups will be able to share patient information across the Health System, promoting more efficient and safer care.
Elkhart General Hospital nurses and physicians, along with radiology, pharmacy, emergency, surgery, imaging and lab departments will begin working in Cerner in June.

St. Patrick
Patrick, known as the "Apostle of the Irish" was born in Britain, but at age sixteen he was captured by Irish pirates and enslaved six years in Ireland as a shepherd. During his captivity he turned in earnest to God. With God's help, he escaped back to Britain, but once back in his homeland, God called him to prepare for the ministry and return as a missionary to the Irish. As he traveled, he constantly prayed scripture, diligently reciting every day the Psalms, Revelation, and other songs from scripture.[1]
His first Easter back in Ireland, Patrick headed for a high place at the core of Druidism. This was intentional, he said, "so that it might never stand up against the faith of Christ."[2] Irish King Laeghaire and two chief Druids came out for battle against him, and summoned Patrick to approach and state his business. Patrick came before the King's army singing from the Psalms, "Let them trust in their chariots and horses, but we shall walk in the name of the Lord."[3]To explain to them the gospel message, legend has it that Patrick plucked a nearby shamrock, knowing that it was sacred to them, and held it up high so everyone could see. "Is it one leaf or three?" They replied, "It is both one and three." Patrick then concluded, "So it is with God."[4]After Patrick declared to them the three central truths of his preaching--the trinity, the incarnation, and the resurrection--Druid Lochru blasphemed God and the King ordered his men to slay Patrick. But Patrick prayed again a Psalm, "Let God arise and let His enemies be scattered, and let those who hate Him fly from before His face."[5] Suddenly a dark cloud rushed down upon them, so that the kings men fought each other, and the earth shook and a whirlwind came, scattering them.[6]
Tradition has it that as Patrick went on from that place to face further miraculous duels with druids, he chanted a song known today as the Lorica, or Shield of St. Patrick.[7] As we read portions of this ancient prayer together, we are confessing before our spiritual enemies that we connect ourselves to God. We bind ourselves to God's virtues, to the virtues of Christ's accomplishments for us, to the virtues God has displayed in His creation, and to all the means God uses to guide and protect us.[8] Christ is our shield as we go forth with the gospel message.

I know exactly when it happened. When I turned the corner and stood face to face with the fact:
I had spent years skirting around the issue, the word, the stigma. Years justifying it with:
"I get pregnant literally all the time, so we're obviously fertile."
"We've become parents once before, it will surely happen again. We don't need extra help."
"I'm not the infertile one with the *thing* causing the problems, it's my partner."
I want to explain something here that I have never dealt with – I don't think?? – on either of my blogs [aside: I had a different blog for two years before Sunny Side Up and it is this first blog that I intend to dissect and repost here over time]. It speaks to that need to belong. That feeling of wondering "where do I fit?" in the world of infertility and pregnancy loss. I thought infertility was one and the same. I thought it was something you either had… or you didn't.
Here's what happened to me:
One day several years ago, I sat with my growing folder of assisted conception paperwork all on IVF Clinic letterhead, browsing the information while I waited for my latest blood test with my nurse. Suddenly, I sat bolt upright. There, staring me in the face were the words "Infertile Couple" on some referral letter or another. After the initial feelings of shock and indignation wore me down and I sat with the label for the rest of the day, I supposed that if this was how the medical system viewed me and Steve then it simply had to be. If we had to be considered on paper as "infertile" in order to receive treatment to hopefully skirt our genetic factor, then so be it. At least it was feeling like it was getting us somewhere further in our seemingly never-ending journey to bring home a child. I made nothing much more of it.
A few months later. I was served a lesson that smacked me once and for all between the eyes.
Reading on a forum I used to frequent in my "trying for another baby" days/months/years, the deflection and denial turned into reflection and acceptance. I saw an exchange between two women – and I can't tell you with any great accuracy how much IVF drugs may or may not have played a part in how hotly this got debated and weighed in on – that basically went like this:
"Oh, it's not me with the problem. It's my husband." I began to nod along with what the woman was expressing, until I read the response…
"Honey, you're in a relationship with this man? And he is the infertile one? Then sorry, you are both infertile."
It was so harsh. My cheeks flushed instantly and I felt so indignant that I rose a little off my seat, so ready was I to bash out a retort on my overworked keyboard. The cursor blinked back at me in its sea of white. I sat there staring at the other member's words. And then, as the realisation finished all its connections I raised my eyes from the screen and focused somewhere off into the middle distance in front of me.
Holy shit. That's me.
I wanted to recoil. To cringe. To shy away from all that I had been merrily labelling my own husband with before tripping off into some fanciful "Get out of jail free" type card. I realised with a start that I had been absolutely fooling myself all along and it had taken a virtual stranger's words to stun me out of my oblivion.
Ever since the test results had come back, in 2002.
Ever since we had been given a Russian Roulette-style run-down by a geneticist with more statistics than a statistician.
Ever since we were told we were "lucky" we could "get pregnant easily" by the geneticists.
Ever since we discovered our choices were, if we wanted a child, to either keep conceiving and hoping for a "normal one" or we saved up for IVF. Very expensive pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) – biopsy of embryos after ICSI (Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection) - kind of IVF.
We had already welcomed our first child in to the world. Against ALL odds. We had also farewelled her just 31 days later. My realisation came many long months in to our continuing, angst-filled journey to conceive again. When I attempted to join in to online groups, I entered with the added confusing twist that I was already a mother. But technically, not "mothering". Mostly, I was invited in with welcome arms by fascinating, insightful and supportive women all going through the IVF mill and sharing the process and the journey with each other.
I had experienced the wonder of pregnancy and birth. I felt somewhat set apart from people who had not experienced either of those things. "Set apart" in that I felt guilty, somewhat of an imposter. Should I be chatting with these women, many of whom were yet to even fall pregnant, when I had experienced it time and again? How much knowledge should I impart to them? What was too much information? What was not enough sharing of my vast experience with pregnancy (to not share what I knew was equally irresponsible of me, in my books)?
It was a brilliant – absolutely invaluable – learning ground. I learned how and where and what to pitch about myself. I honed a sense of tact and diplomacy. I learned to recognise how exhausted I felt after I put too much of myself out for others to voyeuristically take from – a truly useful thing, given that the birth of my blog was just around the corner.
But I still wasn't entirely sure I shouldn't be in with the "secondary infertility mums" – those who were experiencing infertility but who already had at least one child. I'd go in there and they would be discussing the trials of IVF cycles around play dates and kinder meetings. I couldn't possibly do that, it gutted me. So I stayed with the first-timers. Those yet to become parents. And I cried countless times, privately, at how much I couldn't share about my daughter. It was well known on the forum that I had lost a child. I spoke about it in different areas of the board. But remained respectful on the IVF forum.
Once I had our second daughter, the LGBB, I was well and truly ousted. The "trying to get pregnant" crowd naturally booted me from the nest I was so safe in. I don't blame them, I would have done the same thing. I didn't know where to fit in after that. I was not someone who had come to motherhood in a relatively straightforward way, so I felt quite set apart from other new mothers – "normal" mothers, I considered them, in my hazy newborn-mind state. And I found I could not really handle reading about the change in some of the people who had struggled through the tedious nature of infertility (or otherwise just an unexplained "long time to conceive"), now mothers and complaining about it all the way. That was really hard. I floundered for a while, but left the community within the year.
I stayed with the one thing that accepted me how it found me: my blog. I made the rules there. I didn't need a label there. Eventually, I felt compelled to find and embrace my voice as a mother, a fully-fledged mother (regardless of my shattered journey to getting there eventually) and I began to flex my muscles – on the blog – about the hard parts of motherhood. I agonised for the first year of Lolly's life and it literally almost sent me mad. Oh the guilt at complaining! So I felt like I had well and truly alienated myself from any of my "IF sisters" from the online community I had joined. I struggled to join in with mothers who didn't have a deceased child anywhere in their brood. I straddled both worlds and felt accepted in neither.
But I digress. Back to the subject of embracing infertility.
I came to realise that Steve and I were in this together. That simply because my body was not the "issue", my reluctance to get on board and properly partner him – embrace the fact together – sent him a really awful, lonely, unintentional message on my part.
I embraced our infertility then. In fact, I took it on so much that an exasperated friend at one point asked me when I was going to "stop allowing" infertility (and loss) to define me. The truth is, it has defined me. If nothing else, I have grown my compassionate self, have championed the cause alongside others, have really discovered the depth and breadth of who I am because of our conception history, not in spite of it.
And as for Steve, well, I could not be more proud of him flying the flag. Hell, the guy has even had his sperm talked about on national radio (more than once)! You've gotta be okay within yourself to be down with that, don't you? When I stand back and have a look at our learning curve, together as a couple, it's a wonder we haven't run away and hidden under adjacent very big rocks. As facetious as it might sound, I am proud of my partner. Deeply respectful of the processing he has done, all on his own, to reach a point of acceptance in himself to be okay with our situation being discussed in public. In a book. And, of course, in depth in my book about our journey.
It's a very deeply personal and subjective, er, subject. So I would never rush to encourage anyone else to do anything other than what feels right for them. But if nothing else, above all, I feel more comfortable saying now that "we" are infertile – despite the fact that I am about to go and do the kinder run to collect our only surviving child – and I will never again look on infertility as being the issue of either the male or female. To me, it is a couple thing. At least, that's what worked for us.
