We all know
we're supposed to nurture
our network. And while there's nothing wrong with
the old school advice to cultivate and nourish your network with lunches and
e-mails, handing over business cards at industry events and scheduling drinks with
colleagues can have a whiff of the ho hum. Reinvigorate your networking with
these outside-the-box ideas.
Play Ball
Tired of
handing out business cards at industry events, one creative networker instead
passed around a brand new volleyball and sharpie. You can bet he had some
interesting conversations. In Start
Focusing on New, Creative Networking Ideas
the volleyball idea vies with other inspired networking schemes such as
interviewing colleagues for a blog post or creating a contest for a gift card
drawing and soliciting cards from fellow event attendees. Bottom line: getting
creative can get you noticed.
Timing is Everything
Make time for
networking with creative time-management suggests Patti DeNucci, author of The Intentional Networker. We like her walk-and-talk idea, where networking conversations are
combined with hiking, running or walking. DeNucci also recommends taking a "how
about now?" approach at industry conferences and seizing the moment for an
immediate 15-minute-coffee-and-chat sidebar rather than swapping cards and
agreeing to get together down the road. Bottom line: there's no time like the
present for networking.
Hello, Old Friend
People often
overlook an important existing network as they cultivate new industry-specific
networks. Look to your college and graduate school networks as valuable
resources. Best of all, universities and colleges are set up to help with
networking, contact your alumni office to get started. For more ideas, read Don't Wait for a Reunion to Network with
Former Classmates. Bottom line: turn old memories into
new contacts.
Just Go For It
Blogger and
writer Scott Ginsburg of the blog site hellomynameisscott.com offers seven fantastic tips for networking that will have you
saying "why didn't I think of that?" Ginsburg channels his inner moxie,
bringing a "go for it" approach to networking. He approaches big shots when
possible and cold calls for speaking engagements. He also practices the
personal touch, responding to e-mails by picking up the phone within minutes. This
speedy, personal response in an age of impersonal communication gets noticed.
Bottom line: people err on the side of caution too often; go for it to get

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Holy Spirit, or Holy Ghost, is a term found in English translations of the Bible, but understood differently among the Abrahamic religions.[1][2]
For the large majority of Christians, the Holy Spirit (or Holy Ghost, from Old English gast, "spirit") is the third divine person of the Trinity: the "Triune God" manifested as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; each person itself being God.[3][4][5]
The Hebrew language phrase ruach ha-kodesh (Hebrew: רוח הקודש, "holy spirit" also transliterated ruaḥ ha-qodesh) is a term used in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) and Jewish writings to refer to the Spirit of YHWH (רוח יהוה). It literally means "the spirit of holiness" or "the spirit of the holy place". The Hebrew terms ruaḥ qodshəka, "thy holy spirit" (רוּחַ קָדְשְׁךָ), and ruaḥ qodshō, "his holy spirit" (רוּחַ קָדְשׁ֑וֹ) also occur (when a possessive suffix is added the definite article is dropped). The "Holy Spirit" in Judaism generally refers to the divine aspect of prophecy and wisdom. It also refers to the divine force, quality, and influence of the Most High God, over the universe or over his creatures, in given contexts.[6]
The Holy Spirit (Arabic: الروح القدس al-Ruh al-Qudus, "the-Spirit the-Holy") is mentioned several times in the Qur'an, where it acts as an agent of divine action or communication. In Hadith it is commonly identified with the angel Gabriel (Arabic Jibreel). The Spirit (الروح al-Ruh, without the adjective "holy") is also used as the creative spirit from God by which God enlivened Adam, and inspired the angels and the prophets. The belief in Trinity, as it is defined in the Qur'an, is explicitly forbidden by the Qur'an and called a grave sin. The same applies to any idea of the duality of God (Allah).[7][8] Though grammatical gender has no bearing on actual gender in non-personal nouns, the term holy spirit translates in and is used in the masculine form in all the Qur'an. In Arabic language the word "Holy Spirit" does not translate as سكينة Sakinah used in a feminine term. The term sakinah means state of relaxation.
The Bahá'í Faith has the concept of the Most Great Spirit, seen as the bounty of God.[9] It is usually used to describe the descent of the Spirit of God upon the messengers/prophets of God who include, among others, Jesus, Muhammad and Bahá'u'lláh.[10]
In Bahá'í belief, the Holy Spirit is the conduit through which the wisdom of God becomes directly associated with his messenger, and it has been described variously in different religions such as the burning bush to Moses, the sacred fire to Zoroaster, the dove to Jesus, the angel Gabriel to Muhammad, and the maid of heaven to Bahá'u'lláh.[11] The Bahá'í view rejects the idea that the Holy Spirit is a partner to God in the Godhead, but rather is the pure essence of God's attributes.[12]

My gut tells me the President of the United States has become a cornered animal – wary of a party that has all but shunned him, distrustful of even his closest advisors, angry at an American public that has rejected him and fearful of his own inability to cope with his growing madness.
White House insiders tell me George W. Bush grows more sullen and moody with each passing day. His paranoia, they say, is increasing to manic levels as he launches into tirades about traitors in his own party, in the press and among his allies.
They describe a man living on the edge and stepping too often over it.
Bush, they say, feels betrayed by former Secretary of State James Baker who he now feels held his administration up for public humiliation in the Iraq Study Group report. Although he told the press after meeting with ISG co-chairs Baker and Lee Hamilton that the White House will take the group's recommendations "very seriously," Bush says privately that he has no intention of going along with their plan.
"Fuck 'em," Bush reportedly said after his breakfast meeting with Baker and Hamilton last week. "I'm the President. I'm the one who decides what's best for this country."
Reports from within the White House show an administration in turmoil, torn from within by dissension over a failed Iraq war policy that everyone but Bush says is a no-win situation.
I wish I had proof of this. I don't. I have snippets of information passed on by people who should be in a position to know along with rumors and a gut instinct honed by 40 years of watching politicians try to squirm their way out of trouble.
One needs only to closely watch the President in his appearances to see that this is clearly a man in emotional trouble, struggling to hold on. His eyes dart from side to side and his eyelid movements when he speaks indicate a textbook example of dishonesty.
This attitude carries over into other White House staffers. Press briefings with Presidential Press Secretary Tony Snow have become increasingly confrontational with Snow quick to label anyone who dares question administration policy as a "troublemaker." He accuses reporters of partisanship, an ironic bit of hypocrisy since Snow came to the White House from Fox News, clearly the most partisan game in town.
Bush's decision to delay his "major policy speech" on Iraq until next year is, Snow claims, just to give the President time to hear all sides of the argument before proceeding. But others say privately the President has already made up his mind and is in no hurry because he doesn't plan to make any major changes.
And while Bush delays, America hit a grisly milestone this week when the "official" number of Americans dead or wounded in his dirty little war hit 25,000. I say "official" because the Pentagon has played fast and loose with the statistics on just how many Americans have come home without arms or legs or in body bags and the real figure could be even higher.
Whatever the "real figure" is or is not, one inescapable fact remains: Many more Americans will die in Iraq and/or other actions spawned by Bush's illegal invasion of a country that posed no threat to this nation. And many, many more will come home physically maimed and/or emotionally scarred for life.
Because the Iraq war is not over nor will it end anytime soon. It will continue to be waged by a cornered animal named George W. Bush.
And, as any real hunter knows, nothing is more dangerous than a cornered animal.

Why does everyone insist on pretending to believe that Bush is the "decider?"
All rational analysis clearly shows it is the Dick, Cheney, and his craven cronies calling every important shot, while Junior attends recitals and strides mightily about the corridors of the West Wing – when he is not hunkered down in the Oval Office, demanding fealty from the minor players around him.
Maybe if Keith Olbermann speaks out on the subject, the rest of the 'MSM' would be released from the curse of "seeing" the emperor's new clothes?
Dick Cheney's role in the administration effectively ended on Nov. 8, 2006, when Bush fired Rumsfeld. Cheney fought to keep Rummy in the administration. He lost. On that day, the monster he helped create took full and final control. Anyone who thinks Cheney still runs things is living in the past.
Okay Doug…we know that you like to dangle, but this is too juicy. Yes, I've already heard folks say this, but I want to hear you say some more on the subject.
Dont be coy and bury the lead.
Pretty please, with sugar on it?
The dismissal of Rumsfeld was Cheney's doing, pure and simple. Watching Bush pretend to be in charge, while obviously not "authorized" to say anything logical, can see the actual strings being pulled as he dances; and likewise for Tony Snow.
"The past?" I don't think so. Cheney blows (no pun intended) throughout this administration like an evil wind.

Joe, I don't know what you're smoking but pass a toke or two around. Cheney and Rumsfeld are joined at the hip and go back to their days with Nixon and Ford. Cheney went ballistic when Bush canned Rummy. Even Olbermann reported it. Don't know what you're using for sources on this one but they need to buy better drugs.
Welcome back, Doug! I hope that you're feeling better.
Sorry, but I respectfully disagree and i believe with good reason.
Cheney has had a stranglehold on the "Deciderer" and the Oval Office since he raised his right hand (which meant nothing by the way) on January 20th, 2001.
You are telling us that Cheney went ballistic when Bush fired Rumsfeld.
OK, let's assume he did. But just days before BUSH himself went on national television and proclaimed several times that Cheney and Rumsfeld were staying aboard for the FULL TERM. Then about a week later, Rumsfeld is GONE.
Now, common sense says this was NOT a basic overnight decision. Everyone proclaimed from the White house to the White House Mouthpeice that the Republicans were going to keep both houses and only CHENEY said …at the very last moment "well maybe the house will go but the Senate will stay.
So the ONLY possibility would be that if BOTH house, as they did were lost based on that and that alone the sacrificial lamb would be Rumsfeld…and that appears to be what happened.
If BUSH were that demented and Cheney flipped out as you are suggesting, especially IMO when Cheney has been running things for so long then BUSH would have, just like Trump said to Cheney (YOU'RE FIRED) That's his way when he doesn't get his way.
Let's assume then it was like yoiu say. That would make for extremely bad blood between the "Deciderer" and the "Controller"
I just don't see that
I see a Moron and a Monster, you are painting BUSH as the Monster.
So explain please so we can all understand
For the DNC impeachment is off the table and talk about putting a stop to funding the war is also off. What would his reaction be if they went full steam ahead?
Doug, Glad you're feeling well enough to get back to telling it like it is. Also: thanks, editors for putting the comment area back where it belongs, I have never figured out how to comment the other way and do enjoy reading input after the opinions. Also writing input, but not today, I do agree with "all the above."
Truth 101:
I base my conclusions on research, not on what I believe. Republicans that I once worked with and whose knowledge I trust tell me that Cheney's role is much diminished since the election. There have been hints of the same in both MSM and independent media reports. Cheney is no longer the public spokesperson on Iraq, a role he held before the election. Since the election, Bush has stopped listening to Rove and Cheney and Rice now holds center stage with the President (and Rice and Cheney disagree on strategy).
I don't pull these things out of thin air. I talk to people who work in the administration, with reporter friends who cover the administration and with political operatives who were colleagues when I worked in GOP politics. They all tell me the same thing: Bush calls the shots now, not Cheney.
Check out the story about
CHENEY supposedly gets the "Riot Act" read to him by the KING
BUSH wants to Stay in IRAQ as there is too much money to be made by the Carlyle Group.
CHENEY wants to stay in IRAQ because there is TOO MUCH money to be made by halliburton and KBR in which he is STILL a major stockholder
So, the Saudi's have effectively, if you believve it DERAILED the entire Iraq study Group.
SO what is the likely thing to happen. Thousands of more GI's will be sent in to the shooting gallery to die and thousands more IRAQi's will die as well. All this, while the Carlyle Group and KBR / Halliburton clean up financilly.
Does anyone for a micro-second believe that this grand plan and idea was BUSH 43's idea all by himself. COME ON !!!
AMERICA was set-up beautifully and masterfully by Chene's so called "trip" because they KNEW pretty much what everyone knew that this so-called commission was going to recommend exactly what they did.
NOW BUSH can completely ignore the "commission" and look like a leader….the REAL PLAN all along.
Tell me I'm wrong.
The first casualty will be Bill O' Reilly who stated just last night that it would be a terrible mistake to send in "thousands of more troops" For the first time… I agree with him.
Boy is he gonna be pissed.
The last drug I did was on a beach in Jamaica….a toke ot three with a convivial group of turistas. I am, though, 65 years old and a battered veteran of corporate banking wars stretching back to the middle 60s, and I have seen any number of joined-at-the-hip sacrifices of one twin or the other. The tougher the going becomes, the more predictable the outcome – and I saw and told of the tossing of Rumsfeld over the side two months before it happened.
Somewhat like finding a new star or planet by determining what is blocked from view, watching this administration's convulsions entails seeing what is not there.
I have been a subscriber to these pages for some time now, and this is the first thing I have had any quarrel with what your take was. Had to happen.
Keep up the fantastic work, and I'm glad your break was short.
Hell, if we agreed all the time something would be wrong. Thanks for reading.
There is something right in seeing a nation of gougers and chiselers, betrayed and perhaps wiped out by one of their most pathetic examples.
You stand in line with your musket, and you just fall down dead before the end. You don't know how the battle turned out, and you don't even know if you mattered. But you were there.
Well if what you say is true, and I do respect your opinion and sources, the situation that most everyone on all the blogs say simply could not possibly get any worse, is about to get worse.
Cheney in Charge was terribly scary.
BUSH really in charge…God help us all.
You talk to the pros you know and knew, fair enough.
I base my thoughts and comments on patterns of reason (sometimes where there appears there is none) since the days prior to and after 9/11 to this day.
There IS an undeniable pattern here…Agree?
Also, if what you say is true then Cheney's days certainly appear to be numbered the next time BUSH takes a glass of wine at a state dinner.
Problem there is Bush then eats crow based on his pre-election statement and Cheney DOES …I believe have the power to bring down the entire house of cards, dirty hands or not and neither Carlyle or KBR want any part of that.
But again, if he did that then I don't think a reduced role disagreement with the "deciderer" would be his big problem. ROVE was fired by BUSH 41 works for BUSH 43 and you say Rove is still in, but OUT basically as well??
This could get very interesting in the coming days….That is my opinioni
Truth. I've been around Doug Thompson for a long time and his research has never been wrong. I would stake my life on what he knows. The problem with Doug is he is 10 steps ahead of everyone else on the internet and the MSM.
He led us through Clinton's Impeachment and Whitewater scandals. If he is wrong he is the first to admit it. Why do you suppose he has this huge following? I've tangled with him but learned that if he is wrong it will say so. That happens rarely. He is not a trivial thinker.
It has been my experience that when paranoia rules, no one is trusted. Bush is paranoid and acting like a cornered animal. That means he listens to no one and that concept should frighten anyone.
Oh dear oh dear oh dear!
Bush now calling the shots? And he's losing his sanity on top of that? I have been anticipating this for a long time, but to finally read it in print doesn't make its impact any less.
My main concern – besides the possible demise of a free American society and the possibility of a new Nazi dictatorship – is how this will affect us Brits. With Blair bound at the hip (or chained, depending on your view) to King George, where will he lead us? Into another war? Into the same mess that the US is falling into? Possibly even make us a client Nazi state – 'V for Vendetta' rings horribly in my mind at that thought! If that ever happens, I'm emigrating to New Zealand or some place like that!
I just hope the government retains enough sanity to bring a blowtorch to the chain binding us to Bush – and thus to Oblivion! Either that, or someone actually makes a move to impeach the man before he decides to declare perpetual Martial Law!
Hope you're feeling better.
I think you are right on target. GWB has never been an emotionally healthy person. But if someone had told me 10 years ago that any one individual could create such misery and havoc in this country, I'd have said 'no way.' Boy, was I stupid.
As a lifelong Conservative, I have been watching the farce that is the Bush Administration unravel with a disgust that few of you can begin to imagine. It is not just that the man has no comprehension of what Conservatism and especially American Conservatism is all about. He is unable to even enunciate a rational Left-leaning agenda. His Second Inaugural Address has to be the most confused ever delivered by an American President. He uses the term "Freedom" in at least six different and totally contradictory senses in a short speech.
Yes, of course, I know it was written for him. But Inaugural Addresses are one of the ways President's seek to posture for history. And he must have read it over, before he decided it was the right one. This bespeaks a total lack of intellectual clarity. That coupled with the Messianic delusions, with which the address was peppered, spells something very dangerous.
In summary, you may be entirely correct in what you now see happening.
William, that 2004 inaugural address spoke of freedoms because he had already removed many of them and hoped we didn't notice.
Bush is the most dangerous man in America. I'm just sorry we all are so helpless. I sent my two representatives, (Senate and House) and asked them to please watch carefully what Bush will be doing in the next couple of years.
The funny this that both of these men claim to be Conservatives. They are not and have voted along with Bush all the way.
They both have gone along with spending far more than we taxpayers will ever be able to pay. They both backed Bush when he tried to skip over the Supreme Court in the Shaivo decision. They both feel they have the authority to issue social prohibitions over all of us. I fear the Arizona voters did not realize they were throwing away many of their freedoms.
Hi Doug,
in the hope that you have been drinking mega-liters of (filtered) water, and have been taking echinacea to combat this nasty cold (whence this came? no-one knows…),
I want to say that I completely agree with you when you compare baby-shrub with a dangerous, cornered, rabid animal.
I like to add: he is scared; he is afraid. He has the appearance of a little boy, caught in a naughty (and in his case: despiccable) act.
However: one needs to keep in mind that gwb is a member of Skull and Bones (as his father is).
These people adhere to nothing else but the rules of this organization.
Hence: baby-shrub could say that the Constitution is just a piece of paper…
It might very well be possible that, if and when he will be told to "hit the road", that command will come from the same people who got him "in" in the first place (2000).
In other words:
it has been my gut-feeling (since 2005) that he will be forced to resign (which is a "nice" way of giving him the "pink slip"), as soon as the REAL powers see fit to that.
Be they the Illuminati, Skull and Bones, or who- and which-ever…
By the way: ms Pelosi was/is correct: impeachment is not an option.
Reason: impeachment takes too long.
I want everyone to keep in mind that:
"IF LITTLE JOHNNY (and now Mary also) DID NOT GO TO WAR, THERE WOULD NOT BE A WAR".
(Remember the Vietnam years, during which tens of thousands drafted people fled to Canada and/or European countries).
If, from now on, every Johnny-boy and Mary-girl would say: "I will not go to Iraq", then there is nothing the military can do. Because: they do not have enough "man-power" to court-martial, and imprison, all those young "soldiers".
May everyone live in light, peace and love.
Thank you.
Ruth Benderall
There has been speculation over 43's mental health for over a year that I recall seeing. I do agree with you that there are more noticeable 'signs' that are taught in basic psych 101.
The Saudi thing is quite interesting…first 41 went over there in October…then Cheney summoned after the election…at the same time an aide to the Saudi ambassador publishes his wash post article saying the exact same thing the NYT is putting out now. The aide was fired..btw.
Now the Saudi ambassador cuts and runs home…and the kingdom is reported as fractured….and 43 looks like Humphrey Bogart at the trial….I think I do not need to worry about my retirement…sigh.
Rabid Animals everywhere take offense at being compared to G.W. Bush.
Good give and take, everyone. I hope all have a great holiday, and I pray that peace will soon return.
At first I was afraid impeachment would have a domino effect leaving us with Hastert. Now I'm afraid that not having an impeachment leaves us with Bush. It would almost be a blessing to have Chaney in charge. But if he goes first, who comes in , Rice?
Is there any GOOD scenario?
Have been reading quite a few suggestions lately that Bush might actually be going insane – if he hasn't already. What a terrifying prospect: the man in charge of the world's largest army and nuclear stockpile out of his mind. And who has the courage or the authority to actually relieve him of command?
This piece is right on target. Clearly The Deluder is on the edge of a psychological meltdown. And, like the analogous 'cornered animal', he might very well lash out at those who brazenly embrace reality. What is to expected? More staged terror alerts, followed by Martial Law? In spite of promises to the contrary, the new Congress should have as a top priority a thorough investigation of the criminality and malfeasance of this administration, which almost certainly would lead to impeachment hearings. Bush and his entourage of fellow lunatics need to be excised from the public body, and soon.
Oh God, this is so scary,and being in the middle of reading Woodward's State of Denial, rings all too true. Bush has never been anything more than a cheerleader for his failed ideas and a backslapper for the people who have been charged with trying to clean up the mess he and Rumsfeld have created and spin it in order to try to hide the truth from the American public. He has shown no insight nor even any real curiosity about what is happening on the ground in Iraq except as it might impact his approval ratings or ability to get re-elected in 2004. Maybe if his doctor ups his meds enough he'll calm down….Everybody pray, or cross your fingers.
I get the impression that Bush has set up all American citizens into a position of being sitting ducks to Islamic terrorists.
The news is terrible from Iraq and yet we all live in fear of a dirty bomb or poison being smuggled over the Mexican border. Our government is working against us on this border dispute and some of our border patrol agents are actually going to jail for trying to protect America.
I agree Doug, Bush's sanity is showing a decline in his lack of interest. He is now a Commander in Chief who seems to spend a lot of time running away from his responsibilities.
The number of American casualties is of no concern to him. We may not have time for an impeachment but I believe some kind of action from the citizens should be done.
I wonder if his own staff can continue to detract from his actions and words much longer.
The one who could expose the problem in the white house is Rumsfeld. He has shown little courage of his own convictions and has been the main defender of Bush's actions. Could his conscience step in and have him bring this insanity to a halt? Will he limp away from his position or will he act like a true American?
Yowza, De boz mon he dun goan plum loco.
I can't help wondering if, in a worse case scenario, Bush were to be "taken out", would the general populace take to the streets and cheer as they did when Pinochet died? But, would that bring any relief since Cheney would step up thereafter?
I read about a bumper sticker a few days ago;"Somebody please give George Bush a blow job so we can impeach him." When I think back on the impeachment proceedings of Bill Clinton and the purely partisan bullshit that surrounded that entire dog and pony show and compare that memory with what is going on today,I can only conclude that the American public and our elected representatives are the ones that have gone insane.Five or six years ago,I firmly believed that whatever future the Earth faced was pretty much etched in stone.World events had finally reached a tipping point beyond the ability of one man or for that matter,one nation,to dramatically alter.How wrong I was.GW and his enablers have accelerated our rush to the abyss with breathtaking ease and has done so with the flippant arrogance that only comes with a lifetime of easy money and a total lack of accountability for ones actions.Well folks, it's way past time for positive action,but better late than never.There is nothing more important to us as a nation than to hold these horrible vile murdering liars responsible for every death they caused and every dollar they stole.GW speaks of honoring our dead.There is no better way to honor them than to make sure that nothing like the past six years ever happens again.The souls of 3000 American soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis demand justice and retribution.If impeachment brings our entire government to a screeching halt,so be it.After all,congress and the media did not seem to mind stopping the business of government for two years over a blow job.David Williams in the mountains of Western N.C.
Well, with that nervous little smirk while always coming forward with essentially scripted, (and we might start by asking by whom) doubletalk and generalities that make little or no sense at all I would agree on this as a possibility,
There is however one VERY BIG exception IMO that most everyone has missed.
ANYONE who believes that George W. Bush is actually running things in the White House is also IMO a bit delusional. Saving that, very blind to what is REALLY going on here.
YES; he IS the CIC and the POTUS, and the "DECIDERER". However, that last term certainly means that he "decides" whatever CHENEY for one TELLS HIM TO DECIDE and TWO the rest of the cabal as well.
ANYBODY notice a story this morning about the SAUDI's saying they "MIGHT" support and FUND the SUNNI'S, IF and this becomes a colossal word here "IF" the USA pulls out of IRAQ.
Well DAMN, I'll bet nobody saw that coming did they ?
The SAUDI's are completely and totally in BED with the Carlyle Group for one and that is DOCUMENTED and no doubt, KBR, Halliburton and all the other signatory members of PNAC.
And who, might we imagine is the Carlyle Group. Look it up and get a revelation.
Here's a clue: BUSH 41, Jeb and George 43…and many more
WHO might we imagine is PNAC for those who are just beginning to see the light.
LOOK IT UP Call up People for a New American Century. Read their stated doctrine and be very afraid when you see their signatory list and compare it with WHO's in and WHO influences the current ADMINISTRATION. The ADD in the Christian Right Extremists for a little local color.
WE all know about Halliburton and KBR. My goodness, that's Dick Cheney and Company. Son of a gun, !!
With this so called veiled threat. POTUS through his various partners and leaders now has the perfect excuse to ignore the Iraq Commission report and the IRAQ Commission has the perfect excuse to say WOW !!
We didn't see that coming.
Enough BULLSHIT. WE need to MAKE this new Congress take action against ALL OF THE ABOVE without leaving a single soul out of it, the MINUTE they take over.
This whole concept of "well if we impeach BUSH and CHENEY then we get the "Speaker of the House" and that would LOOK BAD…like SOUR GRAPES and we need a spirit of cooperation is pure and simple BULLSHIT:
ANYONE DISAGREE ? Let's hear it.
For a long time now, I've been reading Bush's body language. He looks more and more like a deer caught in the headlights, every day. I'm surprised I haven't seen any 'body language' comments in the national media before now. Anybody who has been in public life and dealt with groups of people, groups both large and small can certainly read body language. It starts out with the eyes, then head motions, next is the mouth, and so on down the torso and the whole bodily stance. I'd be very interested in hearing an opinion by someone whose field this is.
I have just finished reading this entire page, comments & all. Those people just now becoming aware of dangers and damages so easily created by "the moron" and "the Monster" will probably be surprised to learn that they themselves are also morons. I see GWB as a now starving chimp looking for bananas from hands that until now, have there to hand them to him freely. Sorry Georgie,but there won't be any more "handy" bananas pal! I do feel as though Bushie is at long last taking the reins of the presidency by himself..and folks nothing that happens will surprise me, as I expect more of the dreadful deeds to continue and perhaps get worse. This nation has NEVER been in quite the mess & danger that we are now in, thanks to the Moron, the Monster and their Mutant cronies. Who ever it was that suggested we pray & keeping our fingers crossed was right, but I will add they had also better start carrying a rabbits foot and every type of good luck and Apotropaic charms available..because we are in big trouble until the current administration is history and then some. The comments today have been outstanding..thanks all! Judy
But remember this, America voted for the man. Does one not vote for one that is like the one voting? Says something about America's sanity.
The line of succession runs like so…
VP: Cheney
House Speaker (as of 1/3/2007): Nancy Pelosi
President pro tem of the Senate (as of 1/3/2007): Sen. Robert Byrd
Sec. of State: Condi Rice
There's more after that, but I don't think we'd want to go further. We could have impeachment proceedings begin this year, but we'd have to find someone to replace Pelosi because she doesn't agree with impeachment.
I don't know where Byrd stands on impeachment. He might be better than Pelosi or Rice. At least he's fiscally conservative.
With your connections in the Capitol, maybe you can answer
a question for me…
Is W. porkin' Condi? Rumor
has it that they are as close as white on Rice.
Whether Cheney is or is not still running Bush, the reality is that Cheney is sill the VP, just a heartbeat away. He is hardly a solution to our national crisis.
There are four constitutional ways a president leaves office: resignation; impeachment by the House and conviction by the Senate; the 25th Amendment; or he is succeeded at the end of his term. At this point in time only #4 is viable. The other three, unlikely as they are, all lead to Cheney becoming president. For real change the goal has to be to get rid of Cheney first, and I'm not betting on that one.
The fifth, but unconstitutional way, of ridding us of the Bush scourge, is mass insurrection and revolt in the streets, and Americans, unlike the French, have no stomach, nor any practice, for that.
Unless Bush goes clearly mad, publicly with more rants about being the "decider," declaring he's doing God's work, and threatening martial law, the political support for impeachment will not materialize. Always remember that an impeachment trial in the Senate will be presided over by Chief Justice Roberts, Bush's handpicked appointee. How far does anyone think such a trial would go?
Someone asked if there is any good scenario..it's just getting worse and worse.
No wonder Pelosi said no impeachment…Cheney would be next. 43 has himself an impeach proof admin.
Now Sen Johnson (d) from SD has possibly suffered a stroke…of course the Gov is a republican…which all means the Dems majority could be in trouble. First off I hope the Sen is back on his feet quickly…for himself and his family…and for the country.
Politicians lie. Impeachment off the table may just be a political spin/lie.
As the madness continues agreement for impeachment will strengthen as it did for Nixon.
Impeach, indict and imprison Bush, Cheney and Rice all in one proceeding or consecutively. The snowball is rolling and the avalanche is gaining momentum.
Hi Meredith,
I know the line of succession. If Bush gets impeached, then Cheney is Pres and HE gets to name a V.P. who automatically becomes the nest in line. Only if both the Prtes and VP are unable to function (no comments now) does the Speaker get the position (refer to West Wing 2005 season or the Constitution, whichever is more your speed.
So the question remains; who would Chaney pick that would be approved by a Democratic Senate?
I think that Howard Zinn is right: The only way THE PEOPLE can level the playing field versus the HIGH AND MIGHTY who are destroying our country for their profit is to rise up and take to the streets in hoards.
I can't disagree with anything I've read here. The important thing is to be able to take some action if W makes some (other) stupid move. But what could shortstop on order for another premptive war someplace? A 1,2,3 million person march on Washington? A public plea for the Military to disobey his idiotic orders? Or just making sure Congress does their duty this time. Impeachment might be off the table for several reasons, but Congressional investigations should start immediately and pull no punches. Everyone can help by keeping constant watch on their Reps and Senators.
This needs to be in the Reader Rant! Thanks for dropping the other shoe.
I now realize more than ever that the picture we see aint at all the way it was painted.
Alawys suspected as much but my eyes are wide open now.
Gonna be an interesting next few weeks.
"George W. Bush grows more sullen and moody with each passing day. His paranoia, they say, is increasing to manic levels as he launches into tirades about traitors in his own party, in the press and among his allies"
Hmm, just like Hitler in his last days.
Wanna understand what is REALLY behind motivating world powers-that-be to do the insane things they are doing? Investigate the "Greada Treaty" and go from there.
How can any American not have great concerned about the direction this country is headed internally and abroad? The current state of Iraq has been reported as "Grave and Deteriorating". Could it be that America is heading toward the same fate?
On a pathological course, our government leadership has demostrated some of the most hideous acts of disrespect for the values that are the building blocks of the fundamental institution that made this nation great.
A Cheney presidency is a moot point.
If impeachment and conviction were to take place it would be under the 110th Democratically-contolled Congress and would sweep both the decider and the contoller from office.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi would then be president.
All thinking people need to contact their member of Congress and make sure this happens.
Per John Dean, the Democrats in charge of Congress weren't going to hold impeachment proceedings until the American people forced them to. Well, then, flood Miz "Impeachment is off the table" Pelosi's e-mail with demands that she start acting like a representative of the American people and start the impeachment proceedings. She doesn't have the right to dictate to us…it's the other way around.
If Bush loses it and orders the use of nuclear weapons, who will stop him? Will cooler heads prevail? Pardon me if I lose sleep over this.
Great. Another GOD FEARIN TEXAN to give us advice on salvation from the GREAT TEXICAN DECEDER currently leading our nation in D.C.
Presidential arrogance, righteousness, tough guy bull$hirt and paranoia are what lead this nation to this miserable failure called THE WAR ON TERROR and Iraq.
No thanks I'll pass.
Paranoia: 1. A psychotic disorder characterized by delusions of persecution with or without grandeur, often strenuously defended with apparent logic and reason. 2. Extreme, irrational distrust of others.
Whether the President and Vice President remain in power really depends on obtaining the votes of 16 Senate Republicans, assuming that all Democrats vote to convict. I believe this may be easier said than done. The best the Democrats can do is perhaps to strike a deal with those 16 defecting Republicans to remove Bush, but not Cheney. I seriously doubt that the Republicans would be willing to let Nancy Pelosi become President under even the worst circumstances. The benefits of imcumbency for the 2008 Presidential race are too great for the Republicans to surrender. If Bush were to be impeached and removed from office, Cheney would be forced to appoint a moderate or left-leaning Republican to placate the Democrats. Cheney immediately would become a lame-duck President, who mainly would be focused on fund-raising and campaigning for the GOP. Even if Madam Speaker Pelosi changes her mind, Bush should remain in office unless 16 Republicans are willing to strike a deal with the Democrats and sacrifice a completely deranged Bush. Thus, it is possible that Bush may be removed. However, I see virtually no chance of BOTH Bush and Cheney being removed with the consent of 16 renegade Republicans. I base this scenario based on the horse-trading trading tendencies on Capitol Hill. Just a cynical New Yorker's two cents.
Impeachment=End of War…!
Monday, January 2, 2007 Congress will be under the control of the Dems along with many "angry" Republicans that have had a bellyful of Bush/Cheny! I urge all citizen/patriots regardless of party affiliation to contact their elected reps and demand summary impeachment with hopeful removal from office of these two mattoids.
America is in "harms way" with their continuing control of the military…! Their never-ending committment to Iraq is predicated on war-profiteering, plain and simple, all for the benefit of their patrons in the M.I. Complex and the "oil patch". They "are" traitors to the Republic and the Constitution for which it stands…!
You don't have to look at Bushes eyes to see he lies.
Look at his head; when he
says something positive
he shakes his head 'NO'
and when saying something
negative he nods his
head 'YES'. Any beat cop
can tell he's lying.
In India you catch monkeys by putting some food in a jar big enough for a monkey to slide its paw into but not big enough for it to take out holding the food. Since monkeys won't let go of the food, they stay stuck until the hunters come. Chimpie has his paw around Iraqi oil. He's not going to let go of those Iraqi bases for nothing. He's staying the course with the other monkeys standing around with their paws in Iraqi bottles: Cheney, Kissinger, the neocons, AIPAC, Israel, and the Saudis. He is abandoning his other fellow monkeys up in the trees: Republicans up for re-election in '08, in addition to all the other wildlife just trying to get by: the 80% of the American people who want to bring the troops home. This is going to be a frigging fascinating catastrophe for Chimpy and his greedy monkey friends: Republicans, Israel, AIPAC, and Saudi Arabia, when the hunters come. Oh – let's not forget poor grieving dear old dad. Geez…no legacy but a pathetic failure of a son…You can already hear those hunters approaching in the underbrush…
Favorite new bumpersticker:
Shoot Cheney first!
I agree with Meredith and everyone who supports impeachment of George Bush.
I think the GOP might dump Cheney in an attempt to save the administration. Anything that touches George, Ol' Dick has been dipped in but good. So the road to impeachment runs up DC's butt. No, a Cheney Presidency is not our problem. A Bush Presidency in our problem.
I wrote my two Senators, Congressman and the Speaker-Elect last weekend urging them to impeach George W. Bush. I hope you will do the same. The lives of so many depend on it. The only way to lose worse in Iraq than we have today is to be there tomorrow. Join me in the mantra: IMPEACH BUSH!!!!
If they get 100,000 demands per week, I bet you'll see this back on the table.
Have you noticed all of the bullsht comments being planted in the media (including Frontline and NPR) about how "moderate" Rice is, and how she is 'apart' from the Cheney clan. If this isn't some Carl Rove redressing for future GOP power preservation, then it's somebody who operates just like him. These GOP marketers are amazing.
For a lady to say that dying civilians in Lebanon represents "birth pang of democracy" – what further evidence is needed to see she is every bit as dumb and ruthless as any other nut in the Whitehouse.
Moderate my ass!
And this is where Bush goes for advice now instead of Cheney? Big deal. Trade one devil for another. Hawks of a feather . . . kill together.
As in the words of the immortal Slim Pickens from Dr. Strangelove, "Yeeeeeeeee-HAAAAAAAaaaaa!"
Are we now at defcon 3? Are we having fun yet?
Those whom Bush calls traitors are actually patriots, trying to reverse The Moron's catastrophic foreign policy and save America from the disastrous course on which Bush has set her.
We need to impeach Bush and Cheney.
They aren't both insane but Cheney is just as guilty.
I have read all the comments and 99% of them are IMO right and right on track. Taking a demonstration to the streets , even if there were a million would get noticed but I think little else would happen.
That plus we all know that there would be ROVE's plants in the crowd to insure that a fight or two broke out, not to mention the nuts that would already be there.
All that would do of course would degenerate a great meaningful effort into a FOX NEWS ALERT about how awful these people were.
So NOT WORTH IT
I do agree wholeheartedly that the people should FLOOD Nancy Pelosi's e-mail box day after day with demands for investigations to Impeach BUSH and CHENEY together and Rice as well for going along to get along.
To get a response of course you have to be a constituent of the soon to be house speaker. That means that for now only those from San Francisco can be answered, After Jan…ALL OF US SHOULD BE as her new role makes all of us her constituents
Her San Francisco Office is 415-556-4862
In Washington: 202-225-4965
What do you think of article in Insight Magazine about a movement ala James Baker et al, including info on VPs recent trip to Saudi Arabia, about attempt to have a regional meeting with Middle East countries, but excluding Israel that could solve manyt problems. Meeting supposedly supported by Rice. Why have we not heard a great deal about this in MSM? Isreal again?
Article at:
what is it with the republicans and homicidal crazy presidents? first reagan – may he rest in turmoil for all the dead central americans – now this clown …
Excellent comments. It is so positive to see that people are finally seeing the scam that was started with the first stolen election. It would be a wise thing for folks to be prepared for a major disruption in this country. There is coming an economic collapse and a social undoing like never before. Corporations control the world and its leaders and they are buying each other up like no tomarrow. Soon, Boy Bush will break and declare martial law after some false flag operation like 911, at the cost of thousands of more innocent american lives. Just count the worldwide lives lost in the last six years due to the deciders actions. Then add the lives lost when Bush one and Clinton held the power. You can pass a million quite easily. And for what true reason? Money and Power and absolute control. Illuminati has picked our leaders for at least the last 60 years. If we can survive the next five years, it will be with the help of a power much higher than the President or any mortal man. 2007 is the year nostradamus predicted as the start of the great war that will last untill 2012. The date that the Mayan calender ends. The antichrist should be making his appearance anytime now. Yes, we are in for interesting times ahead. Best turn off the TV and spend your free time getting prepared for survival and revelation.
Put me down as sceptical.
First, what Doug say about his old pal George W. could have been and probably was said about Nixon, Clinton, and perhaps Carter and Reagan at some point. I remember in the 70's many people thought Nixon would cancel the next election, declare martial law, etc. etc. Clinton ducked and swerved and looked like a little boy caught jacking off. It's natural when under fire–rightly or wrongly–to lose your cool.
Second, many people are talking about getting rid of Bush. Howard Zinn is just harking back to the 60's in his call for mass marches; they don't work anymore.
Others call for extra-Constitutional mass marches and protests. Bush would either ignore these or there would be mass arrests–justfied. Why use extra-Constitional means to correct perceived unconstitutional behavior? Shouldn't we show that the Constitution works by using the Constitution? Using the law?
Third, I think that impeachment may be brought back to the table after January 1. Certainly a rational–even if perhaps evil–Cheney is better than an irrational (if in fact he is) Bush. There is also the possible use of the Amendment about removing a president because he is incapable of being president. This could be done if there were certifiable grounds of Bush's insanity–which there isn't now; now we just have a lot of amateur shrinks who hate the man anyway.
While it is true that Bush started a war with lies, don't forget that Johnson did the same, as did probably Kennedy. Is Bush's lying us into war worse than Johnson's–or Reagan's Contras? Even FDR probably got into the war based on a lie.
If I were a deer caught in headlights, flailing away for some way out of my mess, the LAST thing I'd do is say I'm going to think about it for a couple of weeks. Surely this is a sign of some sanity? And after seeing the contents of the Baker report, anyone in his right mind would agree that it's nonsense (shit, actually), and someone needs to do some thinking.
I detest Bush–41 and 43. But I don't think it advances political discourse to rant and rave. Regardless of the causes of the Iraq war, can someone provide a rational and plausible solution?
Did you see how nervous the Brass looked at the post-Pentagon photo op yesterday. THEY know he's a crazy sonofabitch.
A reporter once asked Sen. Wayne Morse from Oregon how he thought we could get out of Vietnam and he replied " By ship and plane." Something tells me if Wayne was alive today and was asked the same ? about Iraq he's probably give the same reply.
From time to time Bush let's something slip that makes you think he isn't making the decisions. Once in a news conference he said something like "That hasn't had the president's approval yet." When they were looking for a replacement for Rumsfeld he said "I haven't been told who his replacement will be."
It seems like a lot of the time others are making the decisions. However, since he is the president he can make decisions anytime he wants. One thing you can say for untreated addicts is they are out of control if they are anything. I suspect he is a combination of extremely dependent on some people while at the same time unpredictable and out of control around those closest to him. I think for a while Cheney thought he had perfected the art of controlling Dubya only to find out that he is just a big spoiled kid who wants to have his own way.
Christmas is coming. Addicts have a way of disrupting big holidays like that. I wonder if Bush will crash he Christman tree this year? Figuratively speaking of course.
CHIMPya MUST BE CHIMPeached! This dangerous International War Criminal and World's Number One Terrorist, not to mention Nazi Fascist Demagogue and Unitary Dictator has trampled on the Constitution of the United States, The Bill of Rights, Habeas Corpus, just to mention a few of our essential liberties, all for the sake of his vanity, greed and neuroses–Bush needs to be dragged down from his office along with Cheney, Rice, Gonzales, Addington, and all his cronies and cohorts, brought before The Hague, and EXECUTED for his unspeakable crimes against America and the rest of the world!!!!!

My childhood wasn't conventional, but that's what made it fun. While kids in the neighborhood played football, I rearranged my mom's furniture, sketched models in high-'80s style and obsessed over fashion magazines. I loved how fashion could make anyone look great, and how great design was functional at the same time.
With a fashion degree from Otis/Parsons and big, big dreams, I arrived in Manhattan in 1993 and found that my ideas did, indeed, have an audience. Designing with a painter's sense of color, an architect's grasp of structure and materials and (this is key) a child's knack for whimsy and wonder, I headed the global accessories divisions for the Gap, Old Navy and Loop Design. For me, accessories are everything in a wardrobe, and I found myself able to turn just about anything—handbags, jewelry, shoes, hats, hosiery, you name it—into things people had to have.
It's what I'm still doing today, and I hope you enjoy accessories and fashion as much as I have enjoyed reinventing it.

Seeing or hearing any birds yet?
I scouted for Merriam's a few days this week, one area I hunt it is a little early for the birds to show as there is a lot of snow yet but they will be their in a few weeks.
I checked out an area I've want to scout for some time now at a lower elevation but with a lot less water. I found about 16 turkeys mostly hens and about 4 Jakes.
The Jakes where gobbling and strutting but the hens where unresponsive, I saw no gobblers but did find some tracks that where probably Gobblers but not sure.
What are the birds doing in your area?
My dad has been seeing a bunch...
I'm heading back home in a couple weeks to check things out...

Antarctic diving
Marine research is a vital component of Australia's Antarctic science program.
A huge variety of scientific projects investigate both the physical and biological components of the marine environment, from oceans to coasts, and from surface waters to the seabed. Many aspects of marine research are conducted remotely from boats and ships using specialised sampling equipment and instruments.
For some projects, however, the only useful way to obtain results is to get into the water to make observations, collect samples and to manually deploy and retrieve experiments.
In 1997 the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) established a multi-year summer diving program to support near-shore marine science.
Initially, the program focused on research into marine contamination at Casey station. The scope and type of supported research has broadened considerably since then with a wide variety of Australian and international research programs are made possible by the dive team's efforts.
Although based at Casey station in the past, diving is now conducted at Davis. It may be conducted in other more remote locations in the Australian Antarctic Territory in the future.
For more information, email diving.

Bought a Condo home in 2013 for approximately $175K in Charlotte, NC.
Gary is knowledgable and got me the home I wanted, in the location I wanted, at a price much lower than I was willing to spend. He's trustworthy, always available, and he knows the Charlotte and surrounding real esate market well. I would highly recommend Gary to anyone that's looking to sell or buy a home.

Gary is a very genuine and supportive person. He has always extended the best intentions with all of our dealings.I find him to be a very honest and straight forward person. I known Gary for at least five years. I consider him to be a friend and would recommend him if you are interested in performing a real estate transaction.

Bought a Mobile / Manufactured home in 2012 for approximately $75K in Salisbury, NC.
Gary is an incredible person! In every aspect of our house hunt, he went above and beyond. He helped us find the perfect home for our family and did such a wonderful job in negotiating the best deal for that home. He even still checks up on us and asks how we are in our new home. He is honest, courteous, knowledgeable, and a hard worker. You would be hard-pressed to find a better agent than Gary.

Bought a home in 2009.
Gary is one go getter, who will work his magic for you. He is professional in every way and is always on the buyer's side. He will do you right! He was not yet an agent, but encouraged me to purchase when I did.

Croke Park in Dublin is the principal stadium and headquarters of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), Ireland's biggest sporting organisation. The stadium is in the heart of the city, a 15 minute walk from the main thoroughfare O'Connell Street.
Since 1884 the site has been used primarily by the GAA to host Gaelic games, most notably the annual finals of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship and Senior Hurling Championship. Music concerts by major international acts have also been held in "Croker", as it is often called by Dubliners, and it hosted the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2003 Special Olympics. During the refurbishment of Lansdowne Road the stadium also hosted the Irish national rugby union and association football teams.

Thankfully, our crew made it out of this Porn Fairy encounter relatively unscathed. HotMovies.com was able to retrieve the stolen adult videos, and continue it's reign as the largest online adult video library. Although, we don't think this is the last we will see of these mischievious patron saints of pornography.
Once settled, the Porn Fairy continued on with his natural nesting ritual. Leaving his large sack of assorted adult videos in a mildly conspicuous position.
This amazing field image of the Porn Fairy perusing his sack of dirty adult videos came at a horrifying price. Our camera man came very close to being breasted indefinitely, but dodged and sustained only a large nipple on his forehead.
Once a suitable stash area was found, the Porn Fairy began to circle like a dog before it does it's business.
The Porn Fairy playfully made his way through the countryside, sucking down cigarettes and readjusting his fedora at will.
Instead of risking an attack of mammoth mammary proportions, the HotMovies.com sleuths decided to simply document this Porn Fairy's movements for pornographic research.
It is well known that scaring a Porn Fairy during it's search for a nesting place can provoke it to attack, leaving it's victims with grotesquely massive fake breasts.

The Rankin county school district is fighting a subpoena from state auditor Stacy Pickering.
The legal challenge is related to an investigation of a Rankin county school employee.
The auditor's office got a judge to issue the subpoena in August after school leaders refused to turn over documents related to a female employee who works in the central office.
The auditor is investigating whether the woman got paid for work she never did.
We've learned the woman's office computer has been locked by state investigators.
The woman is said to be related to board attorney Freddie Harrell.
Last night during a special board meeting school board president Cecil McCrory says he learned for the first time that the district had hired an attorney to from a top Jackson law firm to fight the auditor's request for information.
A Rankin county judge will hold a hearing Monday morning where he could decide whether to force the school district to comply with the auditor's subpoena.

We are so excited to announce

Waiting for a New Sibling to Come Home: After School Express
We are so very excited here at The Educators' Spin On It! Someone very special has arrived! We'll have to wait for Amanda to share more details with you once she's ready but I thought I'd share I was the lucky one to stay home with Amanda's little ones while she went off to the hospital to have a baby!
Keep routine as normal as possible.
It's already the most exciting thing that ever happened in their lives, keeping their routine familiar will help them maintain calmness. Before your anticipated due date, write up a daily schedule of what your children do each day. That way no matter who's with your children while you're at the hospital they'll know what to do.
Talk about their own birth stories
It's important for them to know where they were born and what cute stories you have associated with their birth. A simple activity before baby arrives is to write a book together about when they arrived. Then while they are asking quesions at home they can read their own stories and probably answer a lot of their own questions.
Look at baby albums together
Older siblings can begin to have worries about what the new baby will look like. Truthfully I think it's because they want to know if the baby it will look like them. It's fun to pull out their own baby albums to see how they looked when they were first born. It's important to point out that we all look very different from when we were first born. Keep them out on the table the first few weeks the baby is home so that they feel just as special as the new baby.
Make something for Mommy at the hospital
Create a special picture or card for mommy to hang up in the hospital room. Since Owls seem to be the theme for Amanda's baby. The kids created special owl family pictures.
Visit the baby
Once you get the call it's time to pack up and go visit the new baby! Have a special outfit set aside for this day that they've selected with you. It's a visual cue for them to know it's time and the baby is here. Plus that means you've already prepped for those adorable first shots of the baby and their siblings. It was so much fun to get the call and tell them the baby had arrived!
Sibling Gift at the Hospital
Have a special gift for your baby's siblings at the hospital. It makes a special memory for them to take home and remember their visit with and to also know that you still love them very much. Books can be a good gift since it will also keep them occupied at home while they are waiting for the baby to arrive.
Create an easy Transition Home
Leaving the hospital can be one of the most difficult things for small children. They just don't understand why Mommy and Daddy and new baby can't come home yet. Prepping them before you go in is a good tip. A simple we're going to see the baby for a little bit and then we'll leave so the baby and mommy can rest and then we'll be back to pick them up soon or have dinner with them soon. Then once you arrive at home I used some pictures I had taken at the hosptial and I video to help them feel like we brought baby home too on our minds. They even said goodnight to the baby on the screen as they went to bed. I assured them we'd be back in the morning to visit the baby again! Prebought snacks or sibling gifts can be a good thing to take home in the car that Mommy packs.
Make something for Baby at Home
We created a special Name Banner for the baby once we found out his name. We cut up triangles and then glued letters onto the triangles. Then we hung it up together. They had so much fun making it together and it really made them excited about his name. We alos created a dot stamp with the letter in his name to hang on his door.
Reading Books about Welcoming a New Baby
Anytime you can read about what's happening in your child's own life it's a great way to help them understand what's going on. It gives them a chance to discuss any concerns they may have and also introduce concepts they have not thought about.
Talk about expectations and safety rules
It's important for children to hear what's expected of them around the new baby and have them talk about it with parents and also those moments before baby arrives home. Make a simple book with your child about expectations and illustrate it together
Most importantly give them time to play and be a kid.
Having baby and baby items available for role playing will help them with many of the feelings that are going through their thoughts. Even a train sets, doll houses are ways to role play what's happening. Just having time to go outside on in the yard is important too.
Soon enough before you know it it will be time for the baby to arrive at home! Many thanks to Amanda's family for allowing me to be a part of such a special time in your life!

Well, I just did and it was really something worth sharing with all of you! I honestly canNOT claim any of it as my own!

Yes - we all must not be on our A game all the time!!! But let me tell you, this mommy did an amazing job of making our playdate so successful!
So what made it such a great playdate?

The Positive Roles of a Mother in Law: Snapshots of Parenting with Purpose
We have all heard the saying "monster-in-law". The derogatory phrase used to refer to a mother-in-law who happens to be a monster. I feel terrible for anyone out there who has a monster-in-law, it sounds awful. I, on the other hand, am extremely fortunate to have a wonderful mother-in-law, a woman I admire and more importantly that my children adore.
The role of a grandparent can be so important in a child's life. There is something about a grandparent's unconditional love that can truly help build a child's self esteem. There are few things I enjoy more than watching my girls excitedly await the arrival of their Grandma Lou. The moments before she walks through our door are filled with giggles of anticipation. Once Grandma Lou is in the house it's all about my girls sharing every little story, about every little thing that has been happening in their lives...Grandma Lou just sits back and listens. She is genuinely interested in what they have to say. These are the moments they will always remember. As they grow, they will always remember how present their Grandma was in their lives.
Grandma Lou tries to make it to every one of their performances; school, dance, soccer, whatever. And if she can't make it, she always follows up with a phone call to see how the event went. Her presence is so important to my girls. I suppose that is one of lessons that their relationship with their grandmother teaches them...the importance of being present. It is one thing to live your life day in and day out, but if you are truly present with those around you, they will know that they are loved.
What I have learned from Grandma Lou is that children need a positive influence and a positive voice in their lives. Her positivity shines through. While life has not always been easy for Grandma Lou, she has faced many challenges, she has always remained positive. When I think of all the difficulties and challenges that my girls will face as they grow up, I hope that I can hold on to this lesson from their grandmother.
My daughters are so very fortunate to have a fabulous woman in their lives. I am very fortunate as well. My mother passed away 3 years ago and Grandma Lou has become a welcomed guiding light in my life. My only wish is that my girls will take the valuable lessons their grandmother is teaching them into their own lives and someday become amazing grandmothers as well.
In my "previous life" I was a mental health professional...in my current life I'm a stay-at-home mom with 2 beautifully adventurous kids. I share everything that lands on our kitchen counter over on my blog, Kitchen Counter Chronicles. Swing by and learn how we are greening their lives; what we are crafting; what we are cooking and what we are reading. While you will often find the girls and I inside the kitchen, you will also find us out getting our hands dirty, exploring and learning outdoors. I also tweet at @kcchronicles and can be found on Facebook and Pinterest.
Kim's "Spin On It"
We were so excited that Jenn from Kitchen Counter Chronicles emailed us her Snapshot. We know her best from joining up with her each month in our Around the World in 12 Dishes. and we are both a part of the Kid Blogger Network.

Thank you so much Jenn for sharing about your Mother in Law, Grandma Lou on our Snapshots of Parenting with Purpose. It's so much fun to see how your children interact and engage with her. You can see how much they love and cherish each other and how you value her as an important role model in your own life. What a treasure she is to your family! Grandparents truly are a blessing in our lives and it's often times something we forget to stop and say thank you to them for all that they do for our children and for us.
As I always say to Amanda without my inlaws I wouldn't have my husband and I am so thankful for that. I am grateful each day for who they are and for bringing him into this world so that I could be so very blessed with my husband and my children. It's sad but true, as my son reaches 20 this year, soon enough I need to start taking notes of what a good mother in law does for my future daughter in law and grandchildren.... OH MY did I just say that out loud ????

10 Things You Should Know About Breast Cancer
- One out of eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer… that's one every three minutes.
- One woman will die of breast cancer every 13 minutes… nearly 40,000 women each year.
- Monthly breast self examinations and annual clinical exams and mammograms in women 50 years and older could prevent as many as 30 percent of those deaths.
- The American Cancer Society recommends women begin annual screening mammograms at age 40. Women should begin breast self examinations as early as in their 20s.
- Breast cancer death rates have been steadily decreasing due to increased awareness of the importance of early detection and because of improved treatments. Today, there are more than 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S.
- Between 5 to 10 percent of breast cancers are linked to inherited genes. Women who have inherited these genes are 80 percent more likely to develop breast cancer. If your family history includes close relatives on either your mother's or father's sides who have had breast cancer at an early age, you may wish to seek genetic counseling to learn if you are at higher risk for breast cancer.
- If your mother, sister or daughter have had breast cancer, your risk for it more than doubles. Genetic counseling and aggressive surveillance/treatment may be recommended by your doctor.
- More than 85 percent of women diagnosed do not have a family history of breast cancer… that's why breast self examinations and annual exams and mammograms by your doctor are so important to early detection, treatment and survival.
- You can reduce your risk of breast cancer with simple lifestyle choices… maintain a healthy weight… exercise regularly, even if it's just a brisk walk 20 minutes each day… eat healthy foods…. and drink alcohol in moderation.
- Tobacco use is clearly linked with many kinds of cancers and other diseases, such as cardiovascular disease. If you smoke, consider quitting.

Energy efficient and super quiet! With the DSFN6830's Quick and Clean programme you can wash and dry a full load (that's 13 place settings worth) in under an hour. Not to mention, it's one of the quietest dishwashers on the market – 44 decibels (dB) to be precise – which is the equivalent of a whisper. On top of that, its water consumption is as low as 10 litres per wash. Extremely low for a full size dishwasher - great for saving on water bills.

With an A + rating for energy efficiency, the DSFN6830 will save you a few pounds on your energy bills. In real terms, each wash uses approximately 1.05 kWh of energy, which works out at around 12.5 pence per wash – based on a figure of 12p per kilowatt-hour. Add that to the miniscule 10 litres of water that the dishwasher uses and you can already see how eco friendly this appliance is.
If that hasn't convinced you, take a look at Beko's Auto Wash System. This uses 11 sensors to determine how dirty the water from the pre-wash is, and whether or not it can be reused in the main wash cycle. Very thrifty indeed!
And because it's such a large dishwasher, Beko realise that you may not always be washing 12 place settings. That's why they've made sure there's a very useful half load function, which is perfect for quickly getting through the breakfast plates and cups in a morning. Also, with a noise level of 44dB, the DSFN6830 is ideal if you have open plan living. You can set it to run and watch TV without being drowned out.
Something you might not of thought of is the material on the inside of the dishwasher. Sometimes it's a grey plastic lining, which works fantastically, but doesn't look quite as good a stainless steel interior. No need to worry about that with the DSFN6830S because the whole of the interior is lined with stainless steel.

I love sweaters too. So much - the bigger, the better (though I went to dinner with my dad wearing an oversized brown sweater, and he said, "Like Yoda you are looking." Apparently my dad doesn't get Free People).
And in case I don't post before then,
