"And I will give children to be their princes, and the effeminate shall rule over them."- Is. 3:4
For some reason, Jesus never said this about elections. There are plenty of reasons why He never said such a thing, but one is that Jesus' followers were to set a brilliant example of just the type of program that social conservatives and libertarians need to embark upon right now and it doesn't matter who is in power via elections to work. As the Apostles spread out to preach the Gospel Acts shows life in the first Churches to be a mix of communitarian living and performance of works of mercy both inside and outside of the community. The Church exploded in the Empire and by the time of Julian the Apostate's rule Christians were known so well for providing what we would call today "social safety nets" that central to the Emperor's plan to reinstate paganism was the idea that he would provide charity and out compete the Christians. Despite the backing of the Imperial treasury and official state support, Juliancare failed.
What made the social program of the Apostles so successful are exactly the reasons why private enterprise tends to be more successful at delivering services compared to the government. Charity was provided directly to the needy by motivated workers through a process that was voluntary engaged in for mutual benefit from funding to distribution. Because those distributing alms were directly concerned with where they came from (themselves or their fellow community members, who were brothers and sisters in Christ), there is a powerful feedback system in place to hamper fraud by both recipients and distributors. After all, the first example of a Christian using funding sources inappropriately didn't end so well for Judas.
Conservatives and libertarians who oppose the mentality so prevalent today of "seek ye first the Federal Government," need to better present alternatives to today's problems. No one really can say that our health care system or the mess that is health insurance is either economically efficient or just. Healthcare is a mess. The poor face horrible choices every day in this country when it comes to treatment. Countless babies are murdered because the poor are told that they will not be able to afford to care for them.
We must face this reality. The problem is that the medical field is highly specialized and highly regulated keeping out competition to a large degree. It doesn't seem likely that we can have free clinics and hospitals starting up as happened in the middle ages to solve the problems. More likely to succeed (although, I fully expect the Feds to move to stamp this out too) is the mutual aid solution: health sharing programs. These are programs where members share the medical costs of other members directly. If I were to incur a bill, then the program would split the bill's total up and ask other members to send me money to pay off the expenses. It is not insurance and there is no absolute guarantee that any expense will be covered. As far as I am aware, all such programs are ministries of Christian groups and driven by the mentality of the early Christians of sharing each other's burdens.
Needless to say, with Obamacare coming down the pike, membership in such groups has soared. More are being created, but it seems that the law prevents any new groups from forming, which poses problems for any future expansion, especially if a group wanted to start up that was unable to agree to the religious tenants of existing programs. Of course, this is intentional. The State cannot stand competition whether it comes from the family or from groups such as these which show that we do not need the government to live or to help improve our fellow man. Mutual aid societies in the spirit of the first Christians seem a perfect way to go…and for now, they're legal.

The big-footed freerider's dream stick.
- Directional hybrid-rocker shape uses exaggerated rocker in the nose, camber between your feet, and a mellow rocker in the tail
- Full wood topsheet cuts down on weight and toxic chemicals
- Magne-Traction edges add five extra contact points - mellow toward the tip and tail for precise edge control, and more exaggerated between the bindings for raw turning power
- Wide, blunted nose shape increases surface area for better float in deep snow
- Carbon and KEVLAR� reinforcement delivers excellent pop and lighting-quick edge-to-edge transitions
- Large sidecut radius ensures stability at excessive velocity
- Hickory wood sidewalls reduce environmental impact without sacrificing durability
- Carbon-infused sintered base material made with recycled P-tex is both ridiculously fast and eco-friendly

Unfortunately I had to return my first Flagship after gashing the thing open (user error) the third day on it, but I have been riding the second one I got for almost three months now. Love does not do our relationship justice (is it uncommon to sleep with your snowboard after an epic backcountry excursion?). The Flagship is fast in whatever conditions you strap into, and absolutely floats in the pow. It's a little heavy to pack around, but makes up for the slight back pain it causes with beautiful splashes of snow to the face.
I was a little nervous (and intrigued) by the unfinished topsheet, but all my concerns have been put to bed. I've had 30 days or so with the wood stick and I can't imagine my life without it (literally).

Why trust your life to an edge with only two contact points when Magne-Traction gives you the grip of seven points of contact?! I have gotten to the bottom of countless steep, icy faces and thanked my Magne-Traction for giving me the edge control to hold on. Magne-Traction is also a key ingredient for rockered board designs. Adding rocker to your board makes it glide more smoothly, but it makes it harder to really lock into your turns and hold a solid edge. Though Magne-Traction on full-camber boards tends to feel too locked in, once I started testing different rocker designs it was clear that Magne-Traction was crucial to offset the drift typical of rocker flex patterns.

Stepping into the mountains you never know what you're going to encounter. The first two turns may be waist deep followed by ice through the crux and chop in the outrun. The Flagship is my go-to board for fast and confident freeriding in any conditions. I have designed this board with directional rocker and a blunted nose to keep the tip up in the deepest of snow, camber underfoot and Magne-Traction for edging on ice, a longer radius sidecut for speed and railing turns, a shortened running length for maneuverability in tight spaces, and a freestyle tail to land switch in powder. This board has no speed limit and no boundaries. This is the Flagship of our line and my life's work - the ultimate freeride board. Don't be surprised if you find yourself thanking this board at the bottom of a line.

Women's Health
Single Dose of HPV Vaccine May Be Enough to Guard Against Cervical Cancer
The doctors then compared those results to data from 113 women who were not vaccinated but had antibodies against the viruses in their blood because they had been infected with HPV in the past.
Up to four years later, all of the women in all three vaccination groups had antibodies for HPV 16 and 18, the two strains Cervarix guards against.
Although antibody levels among women who received one dose were lower than among those who received three doses, the levels appeared stable, according to the researchers, which suggests that these are lasting responses.
Moreover, the levels of antibodies in women from the one- and two-dose groups were between five and 24 times higher than the levels of antibodies in women who were not vaccinated but were infected with HPV.
The contents of the HPV vaccine might provide another explanation, Safaeian said.
The vaccine is created using genetically engineered versions of the virus that prompt an immune response but do not have the ability to multiply and cause illness, she explained.
This type of vaccine might cause a stronger immune response than vaccines made from parts of live viruses (such as the tetanus vaccine) which often require periodic boosting to maintain immunity, Safaeian said.
Debbie Saslow, director of breast and gynecologic cancer for the American Cancer Society, called the findings "very exciting."
"This would be absolutely amazing if we could only give one dose," she said.
However, Saslow noted a few concerns. For one thing, the study did not involve the HPV vaccine used 99 percent of the time in the United States -- Gardasil, which guards against four strains of the virus, she noted.
Also, researchers could only verify protection for four years after receiving the dose. "If we are vaccinating girls at age 12, we need to make sure that immunity lasts," Saslow said. "We don't know, and they don't know, if having three doses will last any longer than one dose."
Finally, she pointed out that a very small number of women were involved in the Costa Rican study, and recommended that these results be verified by tracking girls in the United States who are receiving the vaccine.
"We need to set up some sort of surveillance system for those who only got one or two doses," Saslow said. "If we're identifying those girls, let's see if we can follow them. We don't need to start a big randomized trial. We can look back using medical records."

Man Utd and Man City engage in transfer battle for Malaga star Isco
11/1/12 in Soccer | JamesSmith23 | 1413 respect
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is desperately looking for a Paul Scholes' successor. It appears as if he has finally found one. The Old Trafford boss believes Malaga star Isco will be an ideal replacement for veteran midfielder Paul Scholes.
A number of other top notch clubs are also interested in signing Isco. The list includes Manchester United's archrivals Manchester City. The Eastlands boss Roberto Mancini has even personally travelled to Spain to see Isco play.
Manchester United lead the race to sign in Isco, but other Premier League clubs like Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool are also interested in acquiring the services of Isco.
The 20-year-old midfielder is considered to be one of the most talented midfielders in the football market. Malaga is unwilling to part ways with Isco, but financial struggles will force the Spanish club into selling their star midfielder.
Isco helped Malaga reach the Champions League last season. This season Isco is one of the best midfielders in the Champions League.
Malaga sold Santi Cazorla and Salomon Rondon last summer, but it's rumored that Malaga still needs to balance their books.
Isco has been one of Malaga's best players on the pitch since he broke into first team last year. Malaga manager Manuel Pellegrini understands how vital Isco has been to the success of the club.
Malaga has been defeated only once in their nine La Liga matches. Malaga is third placed on the La Liga table, behind Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.
Isco's unique ability to dictate midfield-play and join his teammates in the attack is what impresses Sir Alex Ferguson the most. Sir Alex Ferguson has been heavily reliant on Michael Carrick, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs in the midfield.
Michael Carrick's inconsistent form has cost Manchester United heavily on a number of occasions. Paul Scholes will hang up his boots at the end of the season and Ryan Giggs never truly evolved from a winger to a midfielder.
Manchester United's young batch of midfielders includes Anderson, Tom Cleverly and Shinji Kagawa, but none of these players have shown potential of a great player yet.
In order to bring Isco to Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson is expected to Malaga a £17 transfer deal during the winter transfer window.

Whoa! Pregnant Man Expecting Third Child!
He shows off his bulging belly for the first time.
The world's first pregnant man is pregnant again ... with baby number three!
Who can forget the day Oregon native Thomas Beatie, a transgender living as a man, and his wife welcomed baby girl Susan (June 29, 2008)? Or the day Beatie gave birth to his second child, a boy (June 9, 2009)?
Now, in keeping with his one-kid-per-year tradition, Beatie is pregnant with his third child and is proudly showing off his baby bump.
Thomas Beatie
I'm sorry. I don't mean to sound intolerant, because I wish this couple and their children all the happiness in the world, but cutting off your breasts and growing facial hair does not make you a man. She may be living as a man, but if this person still has female reproductive organs, then "he" is a woman.
how does he get pregnant?
"He" can get pregnant, because "he" is a SHE!!! it is NOT amazing!!!
Good wishes for the family with their third child. That having been said should we really be calling this "the world's first pregnant man" considering that "he" was born a woman and still has a fully functioning female reproductive system? Political Correctness aside that means that "he" is still anatomically a woman.
Legally once a woman has started living as a man, taken testosterone for a certain period of time and has had a mastectomy they are a man. They don't have to have a full sex change. A lot of FTM trans people don't. It's expensive and dangerous. Much harder to add than to subtract if you get what I mean. He has said before he was on testosterone and stopped taking it so he could get pregnant. They are probably getting all of the pregnancies they want done quickly so he can go back on testosterone again.
Nothing miraculous about this really. Women have children everyday and that is what "he" is, a woman….
Straight, gay, transgendered or otherwise, stop having babies. The planet is overpopulated. It's gross and they'll be raised on pop tarts, doritos, hot dogs and Kool-Aid.
hmmm If I glue horns on a dairy cow it dont make it a bull. wish the familtu the best….geez the kids are gonna need it
This person is a woman pretending to be a man…just because you glue things on and cut things off doesn't mean that you're what you want to be…if this is the masquerade this person wants to live, so be it…but there is definately nothing impressive about a woman giving birth to her third child..it's called biology.
For all of you ignorant people insisting that Thomas Beattie is really a woman: gender is determined by the brain (the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis), not by the reproductive organs.
Educate yourselves:
@Kristen I think what we're saying, more than anything, is that no matter what he considers himself to be, he is still anatomically a woman. Essentially meaning that there's nothing miraculous about this. As for your wikipedia article: 1. wikipedia can be edited literally by "anyone." 2. They're speaking of "gender identity" in that article, not the same thing as gender. 3. Those studies are correlational, not causational, which means that they provide some interesting data, but are not 100% valid in their conclusions.
Several Native American cultures recognize seven distinct "genders" from (I'm paraphrasing here) "really, really masculine" to "really, really feminine" and several genders in-between. The tribe's Shaman was always a person with the middle gender (not sure what they called it) because that person could easily identify with the qualities of both male and female. So you see, the issue of gender is really more complicated than ovaries vs. testes…
When a "real" man is going to have a baby that will be news. Until then a woman having another child is same old stuff.
I agree. And enough with the "world's first." I read that it had been done 35 times before he did it, a transgendered "man" having a child. So it's not a pregnant "man" in the way we think of it—THAT would be a miracle. And, it's not the "FIRST" either.
That is NOT a man, and anyone who claims she is is just deluded.
So, since 'he' has female reproductive parts, and his wife is a female, how exactly is this coming to be? Trying to understand…
Hey, Kristen from MA, while I do agree with you that gender is determined by the brain, having a baby has nothing to do with the brain it has to do with the FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM.. That is why only women can have babies and not men.. so for all the articles and for that matter Oprah saying this is the first man to have a baby is really ridiculous.
COMPLETE HYPOCRITE!! If you want to be a man BE A MAN… Are they trying to get a tv show or something?
Sorry she is not a he. A he cannot give birth because he doesn't have a reproductive system. Therefore he is a she. If they keep trying to make this real then someone needs to update the biology books on how to reproduce. Talk about confusing the next generation! I can see it now, Mommy how did I get here? Honey that depends on if your Dad is a male or was a female and now a male but with female parts……. geezz
there's nothing new about this.. WOMEN have babies EVERYDAY!! and this moron was born a WOMAN!! still has the REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS NEEDED to create a child.
guess this she-man is looking for a reality tv show or something. this she-man ought to be dragged out to the fence-row and shot.
if he wants to be a "live as a man", quit having babies that are gonna grow up being screwed up in the head. cause you KNOW they are going to be.

Karen Walker Makes The Cut
Designers' bows are often the last thing show-goers notice following a complete collection presentation, but Karen Walker watchers have likely found her latest round of curtain calls hard to miss. Like nearly every model last season—Aline, Daria, Karlie, Ruby, et al—Walker sheared off her shoulder-length locks in favor of a chin-grazing crop, which she debuted when she came out to greet the crowd after her Spring show back in September. Then yesterday, after her Fall presentation, the New Zealand-born designer revealed that she has made like Janice Alida, Athena Wilson, Ruby Jean Wilson, and Bo Don and gone even shorter. "Change is good," Walker says of the impetus behind her recent trim, a collaborative effort between herself and her longtime hairstylist, Mobeen Bhikoo at Stephen Marr in Auckland. The jury is out as to what we'll see when she takes her bow next Spring.

Beirut Announce New Album and Tour, Almost Daring You Not To Blog About It
Is Beirut the next Nirvana? Of course not. Christ, that has got to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Although both seem to have inspired more than a few imitators (you'll find Nirvana clones on radio stations and Beirut clones at house parties), Beirut haven't exactly gotten to meal storage-levels yet. In a way, since they are one of the newer the newer groups to inspire imitation, they kinda are the next Nirvana (stop throwing shit at me).... or at least the next At The Drive-In (stop it!). The point is that Beirut has defiantly risen to the level where others are trying to bite their style. So, what do they do next?
The info surrounding the group's upcoming second LP, coming out October 9, seems to point toward a new direction of sorts. The yet-to-be-titled album, the follow up to 2006's The Gulag Orkestar (Ba Da Bing!) was recorded in two separate sessions, one at The Arcade Fire's studio in Montreal and the other at the A Hawk & A Hacksaw practice space. While the first LP was done almost completely by Head of Band Zach Condon, this time the other seven members of the group (the, *cough* Orkestar), with extra orchestration and vocals from Owen Pallett of Final Fantasy, took part in the process.
Sound-wise, the album is said to be headed out of the Eastern bloc and toward more of a classic French pop (the group covers Jacques Brel on an upcoming UK single) sound. Somebody should write in a news story about how some group of writers should review a bunch of French Pop records for a whole month, making it seem like the newswriter came up with the pre-existing idea. Anyway, Beirut is taking eight people, two LPs, and one EP's worth of tunes -- and a lot of weed -- on tour this fall to promote the new record. Go to those shows and make sure to ask Condon what the hell a track zero is...

Punk Planet Closes Its Editorial Doors
According to The Columbia Journalism Review, roughly 700 new magazines start up each year. 60% of those magazines don't even last a year. Lasting 13 years and 80 issues, Punk Planet is clearly not included in that 60%, as the magazines in the 40% margin are ones that standout, spread ideas, and make relevant points about culture. Punk Planet was one of those magazines. On June 18, 2007, a blog post was published on their site declaring that Punk Planet was dead. The biggest blow to Punk Planet, according to the post, is their bad distribution deal with RetailVision. Other factors included a lack of advertisers and declining subscription sales. All of these factors spell out disaster for any magazine, making it virtually impossible for any paper zine to survive.
Even though most of the writing was purely contribution-based, Punk Planet tried to pay their writers every now and then, but all payments stopped six issues ago. It's just so powerful to see how love and passion have nothing to do with money. It's terrible to see such a unique and amazing zine fall. It was an amazing zine that didn't follow the current trend of focusing on consumerism and aesthetics in culture but ideas and the people behind them. It focused heavily on music as well, with Punk Planet literally trying to review every independent album sent to them, and if not in the zine, you could always find more reviews on their website. Of course all of this is hard to keep rolling since the magazine version of Punk Planet is dead.
Notice how I simply said, "the magazine version of Punk Planet is dead." Thankfully, it means that Punk Planet can live on through the internet if they play their cards correctly. Punkplanet.com is a hell of a domain name (and excellent site already), so they could definitely utilize that domain and their massive list of credentials to create a website as influential as their print zine. Even better, it's still possible a company could pick up Punk Planet and get the magazine kilns fired up again. For the time being, though, all of Punk Planet seems in pieces and they aren't sure of a new direction, but their spirit still seems to remain intact, and I'm positive they're not finished wreaking havoc against ideas they denounce and proliferating the independent and punk ideas they feel so passionate about.
Kinsella Family Update
Like the Deacon in Universal Picture's Waterworld, starring Kevin Costner as a enigmatic seafarer (SPOILER!!!!!! WITH GILLS), Mr P has gone mad in a quest for blog dominance. Actually, now that I'm writing this down, I'm realizing that the Deacon (as excellently portrayed by Dennis Hopper) had absolutely no justification for his ongoing battles with the scattered atolls and remnants of humanity. He was more or less destroying things... just cause. And while I will not deny the aesthetic/hilarity value of sending men holding harpoons, in tattered clothing, on jetskis, over scrap metal walls, I'm not sure that constitutes character motivation. ADDITIONALLY, if they were so far in the future... alright, that's it. I'm making a list of plot holes in Universal Picture's Waterworld starring Kevin Costner.
1 - Why didn't anyone just go to the high ground when the ice caps were melting? The only way that they would not do this would have been if the ice caps had melted in like 15 seconds.
1a - How did people have time to construct massive floating civilizations scattered throughout the world but didn't have time to go to a mountain?
2 - How was Kevin Costner the only one who grew gills?
2a - Did he have parents? Did THEY have gills? Did his parents mate with fish? WERE his parents fish?
2b - At Enola's Atoll, it is discovered that Kevin Costner has gills (because he doesn't want to make some girl pregnant... no one has appropriately acknowledged that huge leap in reasoning); why would they attempt to kill him rather than breed him so humanity can... you know... continue?
3 - The map on Enola's back meant absolutely nothing. And the overall solution was just flying until Dry Land was found.
3a - Why had no one tried this plan before?
4 - Where did the smoker's tobacco reserves come from? If enough time had passed that Kevin Costner could grow GILLS, shouldn't the remaining tobacco supplies been used up or rotted?
5 - Why does everyone call gasoline "Go-Juice" and water "Hydro". Nearly every other word from before the flood has survived and yet the names of the most important and most abundant things, respectively, have been lost.
5a - And yet the character still call the place they live Waterworld rather than hydroworld...
5a1 - Why did the name of the planet change anyway?
5a2 - The characters deny that Dry Land ever existed and yet they call it Waterworld, suggesting that they are aware that at one point water was not the only thing present.
6 - Why are machines still functioning perfectly?
7 - How did this film NOT find mainstream success?
POINT BEING (other than the fact that Universal Picture's Waterworld starring Kevin Costner is rife with inconsistencies), Mr P has gone on a quest for control of the indierock blogosphere with a viciousness normally reserved for Dennis Hopper's attacks on innocent atollis. In a staff e-mail, he directed every writer to pen something that would do more damage to P4k's (or, as he put it, pSUk's LOL AMIRITE?'s) credibility than the line head writer- Waterworld would do on a resume. This leaves me in a position where I say something disparaging about Lil Wayne (NOT happening) or give a compliment, that is not belittling or backhanded, to a Kinsella.
So: Mike: I hope your upcoming tour under your Owen moniker goes well. Your stripped-down, AIM profile-ready lyrics do not remind me of John Mayer. Not at all. I hear you're playing with City on Film. Bob Nanna is pretty neat sometimes. I like his name. Maybe you'll get to eat some good food abroad and see the sights. That would be nice.
* With The City On Film
Tim: I hope the 7-inch of reworked Joan Of Arc songs from your last album sells enough to allow you to continue making music. I imagine this work will help boost share ratios on OiNK. People will appreciate that too. The white vinyl will also be nice to look at. I assume.
Many Times I've Mistaken 7-inch:

2. Eventually All At Once
Nate: Are you still in jail? I hope not. Watching you play drums was amusing. Actually, just checked. You are not. That's good. I hope you don't get arrested at your upcoming shows with Tortoise. Additionally, I hope you are not upstaged by their drummer

Straight from the Presiden't Desk: Sonic Youth to Record Exclusive Song for Starbucks; Hell Freezes Over
In a recent exclusive AIM interview with the President of the United States of America, Thurston Moore told the Oval Office that Starbucks will be releasing a new Sonic Youth compilation album with an exclusive song and a tracklist made up of celebrities like Portia de Rossi and Michelle Williams' favorite Sonic Youth tunes.
Here's the interview:

Dark Meat Pack Up Drumsticks and Wing Their Way Northward for Tender, Juicy Tour
You know something? Dark meat always gets a pretty bad wrap, man. Sure, you can get those giant turkey legs at County Fairs and such, but as beautiful of a sight as that is, it's generally more due to sheer portability and inherent "pirate factor" than anything else, I think. (n.b. I, myself, must confess to getting into many-a-pirate-themed sword fight with friends using the aforementioned giant legs of Turkey when I went to Disney World back in High School. And this was BEFORE Johnny Depp made pirates badass again)
And yeah, sports aficionados have been known to get-down on a plate or two of wings, while they're huddled around the ol' LCD flatscreen with friends and neighbors. But that hardly counts; those things are so covered in tangy marinades, chunky dressings, and tongue-fucking spices that the chicken is little more than a conduit for the heart-clogging condiments.
It's sad but true. Fact is, if given the choice, just about everybody everywhere would opt for the white meat when feasting on fatted fowls of any kind. The dark meat's usually the first thing to go whenever a turkey is carved up on Thanksgiving, and face it: if a burger joint sold a chicken patty sandwich made of dark meat (I think I had one from a Hardees in a rest stop once, actually), the patrons would be heading for the nearest Wendy's in a hurry. Dark meat usually just gets kind of a raw deal.
Until Now, that is.
Athens Georgia's own Dark Meat (a.k.a. Dark Meat Vomit Lasers Family Band/Galaxy... don't ask) are trying their damnedest to turn things around for the much-maligned legs and wings of the world. This 18-piece (or so) order of psych-fried, backwoods, secular-gospel howlers is gonna be representin' big time over the next few months, when they peck their way into just about every venue in America they could fit into in a single summer, spreading their down-home goodness all over a city near you to promote their recent raucous release, Univeral Indians (Orange Twin). 18+ musicians all on the road at once?? Man, it's gotta be a pain for all of them to exit when one guy's gotta go to the bathroom!
So, if you're not doing anything this summer (maybe because you're unemployable due to the fact you smoke as much these cats do?), feel free to grab one of those turkey legs from the County Fair, hold it up high, and march on over to the Dark Meat show. Who knows? Maybe you can use it as a weapon like I did and get some free merch... or arrested... either one, really...

Os Mutantes Overcome Differences for Second Summer in a Row, Offer Cheezy Grins, Please Critics
Rumors abound as to why Os Mutantes, the seminal Brazilian tropicalia group, disbanded in the 1970s. One of the least pervasive, yet most convincing rumors:
Arnaldo Baptista decided the band would play a different brand of guitars and urged his brother Sergio Baptista, "From now on, we will play Gibson, the guitars of Jimmy Page."
Sergio, preferring a different make of guitar — presumably Fender — simply would not have it, and Arnaldo was subsequently sent into a catatonic downward spiral, later requiring institutionalization. The brothers underwent a typical Noel-Liam (Gallagher) rivalry for many several years until Sergio decided to let bygones be bygones.
In an act of brotherly kinship, Sergio invited Arnaldo to dinner, whereupon Arnaldo witnessed wall upon wall lined with Fender guitars. Arnaldo lost it again, once again requiring institutionalization.
Last summer, Arnaldo, after seeing the decrepit state of the once virile Jimmy Page, saw it fit to reform Os Mutantes. American audiences were able to view for the first time Arnaldo's wispy tendrils blowing in the Chicago night, his hammy grin showcasing years of near-insanity in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, and Miami alike.
Though publications such as the Chicago Tribune suggest last year's appearance at Pitchfork Music Festival was one of the top ten live music moments of the year, the audience seemed in on the sarcasm involved in a three-decades-in-the-making reunion. In other words, it was relieving that the festival was ending, the reunion much akin to seeing Lynyrd Skynyrd or The Police. It seems like a good idea; you're glad to experience it, but...
Os Mutantes will release Everything is Possible later this year, a reissue of 1999's greatest hits collection, available through David Byrne's label, Luaka Bop, where an alternative biography may be viewed.
Arnaldo's grinnin' on showcase at these fine American metropolises:
GG Allin Has a Small Penis – That's Right, I Said It; MVD to release "Special Edition" DVD this August
So, this one time, an angel visited Merle Allin Sr. in his sleep and told him his son would be a great man. Like the Messiah. So, the dude names his first kid Jesus Christ Allin. Splendid, right? Then his mom changed his name to Kevin. GG, a.k.a. Jesus, a.k.a. Kevin (whatever) went on to front GREAT bands like The Scumfucs, The Texas Nazis, The AIDS Brigade, The Fuckin Shitbiscuits, The Swanfucks, The Toilet Rockers, and The Drug Whores, to name but a few. What's-his-face died in 1993 of an overdose after a show, probably in a pool of his own vomit and shit, just as he liked it.
A YouTube search of "GG Allin" will already provide you with all you need to ever see from the "shock artist." But still think pooping on yourself is cool and want to see more? Well, if that's the case, then you can run out and spend your allowance on HATED, a 60-minute GG Allin Special Edition DVD of him shitting on himself and teabagging poor girls in the audience, to be released August 7 through MVD Visual.
It gets better: MVD promoted a cover art contest for this "Special Edition" DVD. The entries are "very graphic in nature" (quite laughable) and can be viewed here.
In addition to three music videos and commentary tracks by Todd Phillips, Merle Allin, and Dino Sex, the DVD contains exclusive interviews with Allin and Arleta Gunther (GG's mom.) If that weren't enough, be one of the first 5,000 to own this DVD, and you'll have a chance to get a poster of GG's portrait by John Wayne Gacy (because serial killing is cool) AND GG ALLIN TEMPORARY TATTOOS!!! I presume they will be poop tattoos you can smear all over your face. At least I hope so.
"HATED," highlights the featuring "hits":
Sleater-Kinney to Release Retrospective DVD; My Heart Still Broken
The last time I really thought about Sleater-Kinney breaking up, I was at one of their last shows in NYC last Summer. Since then, it's been buried deep, deep down in my most repressed of memories. But this morning, out of curiosity, I went and poked around to reminisce a bit and to see if anything was up.
According to their website, SK are compiling a DVD and VHS video for a retrospective that will surely bring a reminiscent tear to our eyes. SK are asking that you kindly send copies of any footage you might have of them to them, in an attempt to "make a complete visual artifact, leaving no stone unturned."
No solid details about the release of this retrospective have been released as of yet, and the band promises not to use your footage without your permission. Upon release, we expect thousands upon thousands to curl up with some popcorn and a soda (and probably a box of tissues or two.)
Send your eye candy here:
College-Age Pink Floyd Fans Name August 28 Honorary 4:20 in Spirit of {Piper at the Gates of Dawn}'s Reissue; EMI to Take Financial Advantage of Bros Everywhere; Or Look Behind You, Prospective Buyer! It's a Chick Who Digs Guitar Players… Oh, No, Sorry, That's Just the Back of a Young Roger Waters
Time to spark up a collective doobie, rhythm-guitar-strumming, chick-digging, sweat-stained Bros of America!
Spotting an opportunity to earn a quick buck at the expense of cool dads and rookie stoners everywhere, EMI will re-release Pink Floyd's Piper at the Gates of Dawn August 28, honoring the 40th anniversary of the Syd Barrett-dropping, LSD-popping band's psych rock debut. Apparently, the box set includes three discs -- both a stereo and mono version of Piper at the Gates of Dawn, plus one disc of "rare" B-sides and demos, available to all who purchase said album and probably to those who send emails to EMI riddled with virtual winking, cough-coughing, and Benjamin-slipping (or Washington, depending on how you roll) in the rare case that a prospective buyer's just too busy to head out to a record store, with obligations like:
(a) playing with da' band for a love of music, made evident through shirtless solos and closed-door sessions with groupies who can't keep their hands to themselves;
(b) coaching his son's little league game;
(c) smoking a blunt and playing Guitar Hero;
(d) smoking two blunts and playing Guitar Hero II;
to purchase a copy before they... sell out... ?
SERIOUSLY, THOUGH: Packaging was designed by Floyd-a-licious collaborator Storm Thorgerson, which includes reproductions of stuff from Syd Barrett's notebook.
AND, I'M ONLY TELLING YOU THIS BECAUSE WE'RE SUCH GOOD FRIENDS: Rumor has is that 50 box sets distributed randomly in record stores across America include (laced) vintage temporary tattoos, that when licked, will certainly kick a ruby slipper-ed foot in the ass of that time you and your buddies watched The Wizard of Oz with the sound off and jammed out to The Dark Side of the Moon after smoking a blunt and playing Guitar Hero.
You'll feel music, man, you'll feel it.

Though severe drought conditions have raised the cost of food this summer, consumers may have seen the worst of the price impact at the grocery store.
Higher food prices helped lift the closely watched Producer Price Index by 0.3 percent in July, the fastest pace in five months. At the same time retail sales rose 0.8 percent, the first increase in four months and well ahead of expectations, signaling that the sluggish economy may be picking up momentum.

Idlewild's focus is two-fold: First, exploring Italy's Piedmont varietals as a way to further California's wine spectrum, and second, paying tribute to California's viticultural past by seeking out great yet uncommon old vine plantings.
2013 Vin Gris, Yorkville Highlands
The nose is brimming with grapefruit, spicy flowers, and a touch of fresh herbs. The mouth feel comes in fresh and bright and is then softened by a touch of yeasty richness, salinity, and crenshaw melon.
$22.00 per 750
2013 Grenache Gris, Gibson Ranch
The aromatics are a range of blood oranges, spicy flowers, savory herbs, and pink peppercorns. As hoped, the 2013 is a chameleon showing the freshness of Rose' as well as the structure of a light red.
$28.00 per 750 ml
2013 Arneis, Fox Hill Vineyard
Pear, jasmine, and marzipan are the dominant aromatic features. Though, there are also layers beneath that show fresh floral alpine air and sweet garden herbs. The mouthfeel shows plenty of driving acidity with just a touch of richness.
2012 Cortese, Fox Hill Vineyard
Partially fermented on skins, this unique wine shows hazelnuts, honey, walnut skins, ripe blossoms, spiced apples, and slight candied orange aromas. The mouthfeel is rich, broad, and textural while still being very clean and vibrant.
2012 Dolcetto, Fox Hill Vineyard
Juicy cranberry and bing cherry, spicy flower blossoms, slight anise, and hints of almonds mark the aromas. This wine balances the fine line of being fun and gulp-able while still showing layers of complexity and depth.

Have you noticed knuckle rings? They are usually dainty rings that sit between the top knuckles. I'm honestly not sure how I feel about them. I think I like the look, but as someone who doesn't wear much jewelry, I think I would find these annoying. I do appreciate trying to add something new to hand jewelry though. What do you think of this ring trend?

Second Baby Shower: OK or No Way?
My mom had her fourth child at 43, and I threw her a baby shower. People were delighted to come. First off, she hadn't had a child in ten years, and she had never had a shower before. She'd also had me 20 years earlier, when she presumably had a different social circle. She loved the party, and I loved throwing it.
According to etiquette, it is never truly improper to have a baby shower, because the party is supposed to be about a lot more than gifts. It is to celebrate the new addition to the world. And you can have themed showers to incorporate that (i.e., an "It's a Boy!" shower or a "Pamper Mom" shower where the gifts are for the mom).
Party planner Jaime Geffen of the Los Angeles-based company YourBASH! thinks that you should have a second shower if you are having a baby of a different sex -- and that the mommy deserves a party, too. "You need new things," she says. "You don't necessarily have to fully register, but you can get a few new baby items. And if you don't feel comfortable getting gifts, people can donate to a charity. It is more about the idea of gathering for a baby shower to celebrate the baby. Every new mom should have a party; it makes you feel good to have your friends around you. If I have a second baby, I will have one!"
I'm undecided on the issue as of yet, but I still have some time. I tend to be superstitious about having too many baby things in the house, and truth be told, I already have most of it. But in my opinion, any excuse to get all the people you love into one room to celebrate is a good idea!
Moms, what do you think?
My opinion, people are making showers about gifts. I feel a shower is perfectly acceptable for any new expected baby. If people are worried about the gift issue, noting on the invite that the attendee's gift is the gift of their presence to celebrate the anticipated new life that will enter this world is something I would consider doing. If anyone asks what you might want or need, they can gift that to you in private. This is also one reason I believe in having gender neutral things, especially when it comes to the big ticket items.
Second baby showers are totally fine! Especially if it's a different gender. I didn't need any of the "baby essentials" since I had them from my first, but I did need clothes, and all babies need diapers and wipes. And, usually it isn't the mom asking for a shower, but a friend or family member offering to throw one, so that's not greedy at all!
If you are uncomfortable asking for too many baby items then ask everyone to bring a package of diapers. You'll need those no matter what the gender.
I think they are perfectly fine. My children will be 2 years apart, and everyone is asking me WHEN my shower is going to be, not if I am having one. All my friends and family expect me to have one! I say throw one and enjoy it! Maybe even wait until after the baby is born, so people may not feel so bad about gift giving (once people see a baby they just HAVE to give something) and maybe you could do cocktails! Everyone loves cocktails!
I think if it's been more than 7 years since your last baby, then a shower is a great idea … less time than that seems tacky.
I have 2 kids that are 18 months apart.A boy then a girl.I did not have a shower for my 2nd child becuase they were so close together.I think that it is tacky and greedy to keep asking people to come out and buy you more gifts for another baby.What I do think is appropriate is to do a MEET IN GREET. what that involves is a get together after the baby is born . no baby regis. and no baby invitations.all of your friends and family come over at 1 time to meet the new baby.you can have decorations,food etc. if they want to bring gifts they can and if they don't that's fine also.Afterwards you will be able to get sleep without worrying about people coming to see the baby at so many different times. Good Luck!
Second baby showers are usually called "sprinkles". The idea is that you most likely have all the basics from the first baby so you don't need a "shower" of gifts. Most of the time it's gifts of clothing (if it's a different ginder than the first) or basic baby supplies like baby wash and diapers. If both of the children are really little then you may need a second car seat or a new stroller that can carry two kids instead of just one. People can always give a small cash gift towards these large items or go in together as a group. Since you have the basics it might be fun to wait until after the baby comes to have the party. Then everyone can see the new baby at once and maybe you'll have less unexpected visitors when you don't want them. ;)
I'm sorry, but I don't think anyone is being greedy by having a shower for every baby. It is supposed to be a get together to celebrate mom and baby. I had one for my first son, my second son (new husband), my third son (new job & new coworkers) and now I can't wait for one for my first daughter. I was not expecting this pregnancy and I donated EVERYTHING I had kept from the boys. I now have nothing on hand for my daughter. Also since my last baby the economy has gotten us, we're both out of work atm, so it's not like we have extra money to buy everything we need by ourselves, even on Craigslist. And even if I did still have all the gear, I really don't think I should be expected to use BOY gear from 10 YEARS ago for my first girl. I didn't register anywhere and when I'm asked what I need, I say What can I borrow? I'm making it abundantly clear that I am not above using their preowned items, as most everyone in my circle has had girls. If they say they don't have anything I can use, my answer is I don't need anything but diapers. I'm not asking for handouts, if someone is in a worse position than us I'm totally happy with their company. I don't think I'm being greedy, I think I'm being realistic.
I have to agree with Felecia. A second shower seems greedy. If it's been around 6 years since the birth of your last child, then that would be acceptable. Another acceptable scenario may be if something unfortunate has happened, such as a fire or the death of the first child.
A celebration of the birth of any child is appropriate after the baby is born. Gifts are optional. An alternative to a shower could be a diaper party. It's a little more low key and people don't feel pressured to buy big ticket items.
My first child was stillborn in March and I'm currently expecting my second. The births will be 14 months apart and while we have stuff from my son's shower I would like to celebrate this child once it arrives alive.
If people want to bring something for this baby or me, that's their prerogative - we just want to celebrate the arrival of our living child.
I think it becomes easy to judge what's 'tacky' or not, but let's face it, no one is holding a gun to your face telling you to get someone a new carrier or any other gift. If you don't want to spend any money, don't. And if you do, go ahead.
Sheesh - so much judging.
Since showers are supposed to be thrown by someone outside of your family, I dont see how it can be looked at as tacky by you. People dont have to come. I personally love all baby showers, babies should be celebrated. Whats more tacky to me is someone throwing a shower for themselves.
I believe every baby deserves a shower. Its all about blessing the new child with gifts, how do you find this greedy or tacky?
I think 2nd (and even 3rd) showers are completely ok, even a little awesome. Emily Post can complain all she likes. Carrying and raising a small person is a miraculous and difficult endeavor and every mom deserves a party. Wouldn't even think twice about buying a gift for a friend's 3rd shower.
For my third child, my friend threw me a shower at Dream Dinners, where we all hung out and had hors d'oeuvres and those attending who wanted to, made me a meal. The meals costed around $15 and I had a fantastically stocked freezer when I came home from the hospital.
I would never think a baby shower is tacky or greedy. Even if you choose to attend, you do not have to bring a gift. It is about celebrating your friend/family member, and the new life about to be born. Not everyone who throws a baby shower is only in it for the gifts. They want to spend time with their family & friends. Quit complaining, if you don't like it, don't go. It's really that simple.
If the author had suggested that her second shower be a no-gift affair, then that would have been one thing… Celebrations with friends and family are always great, especially when celebrating such a wonderful event. But, instead the writer leads the whole article with the insistence that "I NEED NEW STUFF."
Tacky, yes. People need to stop being such extreme consumers when it comes to their infants. I'm sorry if this is not a popular opinion, but it's my opinion… We're due for our second baby later this year, and we're not finding out the gender partly because we can avoid the steady stream of gender-stereotyped crap that inevitably comes in.
I tend to lean toward it being tacky to have additional showers in a short span of time. However, I understand if there is a large gap between kids, you've moved or your circle of friends has changed, etc.
I have a sister in law who just had her second child. I was invited to several showers for the first child and several showers for the second child. I had to go and had to buy multiple gifts because I was related to her. I felt like I was being hit up for gifts with no gracious way to opt out.
Bottom line, etiquette is about thinking of others first. If people will feel like you are hitting them up for a gift, skip the shower. If not, go for it and/or make gifts optional.
We had a family friend who had a second shower (planned and put on by one of her friends) and we brought a gift for the big-brother-to-be to celebrate the milestone. most of the other gifts were baby essentials- diapers, wipes, burp cloths, diaper cream, etc.
I've always been told that if it's another sex, been 5 years or more or it's out of your hands, it's fine. Out of your hands means someone surprises you with one, or people at your work throw a small party for you.
I had my son 8 years after I had my two daughters. I had a second shower and more people came to that one than the first. I got a lot of great stuff for my little guy and no one thought it was weird or tacky. :)
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm certainly surprised that a company that makes it's money from planning parties is recommending that this lady have another party. I mean seriously, wow, she did well in finding somebody who could offer such an objective opinion and not just say the words she wanted to hear. Oh, wait…
I'm also confused about Jessica's use of the word need. America is a country with a current unemployment rate of around ten percent. There are children living in cars because parents have been unable to keep/find jobs. People die every day of treatable conditions such as diabetes simply because socialised healthcare is viewed as evil. It's a country that houses five percent of the world's population but twenty-five percent of its prison population. Yet, in Jessica's eyes, her son NEEDS blue clothes.
I need air because without it I will die.
I need food because without it I will die.
I need water because without it I will die.
Baby Jessica needs blue clothes because without them he will die.
Jessica is lucky, quite frankly, to only have to worry about whether it's the 'done' thing to have more than one shower. My opinion is that it all depends on the reason. If a woman wants to have a shower in order to celebrate the new life she is bringing into the world, then that's great. The words 'no gifts' could be printed on the invitations, that way, everyone would know that it was their company that was wanted. If the reason, however, is simply so that people will by her stuff, then that demonstrates an entirely different aspect of her personality. This is a person I would not be thrilled to have in my life.

4 Small Stackable Washer & Dryers
Shopping for a stacked washer and dryer unit isn't exactly easy. They're one of those purchases that requires internet research before heading out to the stores to check things out. They aren't exactly the Prom Queen of appliances and all look (for the most part) exactly the same so unless you know what you're looking for, you'll be out of luck. Here's our top 4 picks for these small space saving laundry appliances.
1. Kenmore White 27 in. Gas Super Capacity: This unit tips the larger side of the "compact and stacked" scale and has all sorts of bells and whistles to make sure your clothes are dried without shrinking and washed as efficiently as possible. $1,172.99
2. Kenmore White 24 in. Gas Laundry Center: This unit has the highest online ratings from Sears and Amazon both, which makes it a winner in our book. It has several settings allowing you to choose how full you have to fill the unit before starting, or rather how much water you'll be using along the way. $1,113.49.
3. Frigidaire White 27 in. Electric Front Load: This unit is a close runner up to the Kenmore above. This model is slightly larger and is also a front loader which we love. We'd much rather bend to get our laundry out of the tank instead of reaching into a half opened lid that his the bottom of the dryer above. $1,113.49.
4. Maytag Super Stack Electric: This unit, although it runs the same size and capacity as some of the units above as a special feature unique to it. What's called "IntelliFill" which adjusts your load size and thus your need for additional water, taking out all the guess work on if your load is small, medium or large and using as little water as possible each and every time (even if you throw in more clothes part way through the cycle)!
Do you have a favorite stacked unit that's worked great for you in the past? Have something you love or hate about stacked units? Sound off on your advice and concerns for this slim, trim and stacked laundry duo!

Our apartment wonderfully came with a washer and dryer installed. Strangely, instead of having a stacked unit in the tiny laundry closet, we have a washer on the floor, and a dryer on a plywood shelf built above the washer! I worry a little about the weight on that shelf and wonder why they didn't just put in a stacked unit. One reason might be that if one piece malfunctions (as our washer did), it's easier to replace one unit than an entire stacked unit. They're probably easier to get upstairs and in the apartment separately, than they are stacked.
I imagine we have some of the same frustrations as people with stacked units though. Number one frustration: hitting my head on the open dryer door while transferring clothes from washer to dryer! Somehow I manage to do it every time!
Better yet, get a compact washer and dryer that is stackable. If you have a stackable combo unit and something goes wrong with one, you are SoL for the whole thing. I had to deal with this very thing myself recently, when my dryer died and I was left with a useless top part and no way to repair for a reasonable amount. I priced out stack combo units, even came up with a couple that you listed, and then realized that I could get a separate washer and dryer that stacks (LG, front loading, energy saver, more options and cycles, way better overall) for less. And by less, I mean hundreds less, enough that I could have added good chunk of what I've been saving up for a new fridge, if I so desired.
After that experience and the price difference shock, I would never consider a stack combo unit again.
I bought my Maytag stacking unit with an electronic panel twenty three years ago, which has been used every day for my family. I have only needed to service it twice. The washer is easy is to get into and is big enough to wash a very hefty comforter. I like being able to lift the clothes from the washer right into the dryer. If you are short on space these units are excellent. My sister's Magic Chef unit, used half as much as mine was/is bit the dust years ago, it was also not as ergonomic as the Maytag. At the time she was looking to replace it she could not find a small enough stacking unit, so she opted for an equator.
Why not get an all in one washer and dryer for about the same price as a washer. They have been very popular in Europe for years and are starting to catch on in the U.S.
They fit under a counter-- think of the folding or storage space saved.
Southpaw, what did you end up with?
uhh, this might be a bit of a stupid question for you, but arent all wasgers and dryers stackable? (ok the ones you load from the top not, obviously) but otherwise thay can all be stacked as far as I can see. And If you really want to save space why not buy a washerdryer in one....? indesit makes a great combi.
We have a Miele washing machine and dryer--stacked--and could not be happier with them. They are very efficient, water-saving, gentle on clothes, and quiet. Plus, they are actually made to be serviced, so if something goes wrong, a repairman can obtain the parts to fix it and can access the inside of the machine. We plan to own them for twenty years at least, which makes them substantially less expensive than replacing an electrolux machine every couple of years.
tabk: because combination units take several times as long to wash a load half the size these accommodate.
Though I don't see a reason to buy one of these all-in-one stacks over a pair of excellent high-capacity stackable front-loaders.

GUYS: what sex position feels best for you? what sex position feels best on your d***?
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
Favorite positions for my own pleasure: Asian cowgirl, normal cowgirl, missionary and its variations like me kneeling instead of laying on top of her, doggy, and her laying on her stomach with her legs spread and me laying in between her legs on top of her (basically missionary but with her on her stomach). That last position I mentioned feels amazing--lots of skin-on-skin contact, intimate, great view of her butt, and the intense stimulation of rear entry.How to do doggy? The woman gets on her hands and knees, spreads her legs a little, and he kneels between her legs and inserts himself into her.
What Guys Said 7
when she is on top or doggy
I like doggy or reverse cowgirl when done right. By right I mean the girl knows how to move her hips and can move her ass up and down so it's like I am thrusting in, but she's doing the work.
Depends. If she's good on top then that. Or doggy or anal
Her on top or doggy. Me on top is just a lot of f***ing work. Generally though, it all feels the same.
Her on top feels good. Not to mention its sexy seeing her rideing me
It usually feels best to me when she's cumming. So whatever position gets her off works well.
ohhhh yes on top
her on top
What Girls Said 1
As long as they get it.

Publication: The Day
Dublin-based biotech Amarin Corp. plc's stock took a ride upward Friday, one day after releasing first-quarter financial results that gave an early glimpse of how sales of its newly approved heart medication, Vascepa, are proceeding.
Amarin, which has research-and-development headquarters in Groton, said it has seen a near-quadrupling of Vascepa prescriptions since its first full month of sales in February. The company added that more than 4,000 clinicians nationwide have prescribed Vascepa at least once.
The sales trajectory boosted Amarin's stock price Friday as it ticked up by more than 6 percent. The price closed on the Nasdaq exchange at $7.25, up 42 cents.
"We've seen great script trends so far," Joseph Zakrzewski, Amarin's chief executive, said during a conference call Thursday. "We like responses from the doctors, the managed care, we like the shipping patterns, the buying patterns. ... It feels right to us."
Zakrzewski added that managed-care companies are embracing Vascepa as well.
"We're about three to six months ahead of where we expected," he said.
Vascepa saw prescriptions rise from 3,224 in February to 11,768 in April, according to sales figures. The company also reported progress in training clinicians to speak on behalf of Vascepa, noted that the quarter saw a doubling of its patents to 22 and cited encouraging feedback regarding patients' initial response to the fish-oil medication.
In the past few weeks, Amarin also has received regulatory approval to add two more suppliers to its fold, with the potential of significantly cutting costs.
Amarin's product sales were $2.34 million in the first quarter, but the company still reported a loss of $62.2 million as it ramped up its sales force, stocked up on Vascepa and continued to study the drug's effect on patients with high levels of a type of fat known as triglycerides in the blood.
Amarin's cash burn for the quarter was $58.4 million, but the company said it had enough money on hand to complete its so-called ANCHOR study that has the potential to expand Vascepa's market by 10 times when compared with the number of patients that the drug currently targets.
"Looking at this early trajectory, the Vascepa launch has shown nice strength, comparable to some recent big-pharma cardiovascular launches," Zakrzewski said. "We are witnessing many positive signs in the market, and we are encouraged by the progress our (275) sales professionals are making out in the field."
• Vascepa launched in January, with $2.3 million in sales through March
• 90 million now can access Vascepa through insurance
• Added BASF and Chemport to list of active pharmaceutical ingredient suppliers
• Increased approved patents from 11 to 22

Why don't you do some research and figure out what Obama plans to do when he can be more forgiving with restrictions after he is elected, or did you even know that he said that on an open mike. He still hasn't found anyone to blame for for blooper. It is so sad that people put PARTY BEFORE COUNTRY and stick their head in the sand. Got to leave now I have heard enough from close minded people today and believe this, they are on both sides of the debate.

The time you spend with your children each day doesn't have to be scripted or scheduled. In fact, if you set aside only specific times as "family time," it may put pressure on both you and your kids.
Instead, family time can take place spontaneously in many different ways during ordinary interactions between parents and children, whether it's rocking a baby to sleep or driving a teenager to the mall.
You can take steps to make the most of these moments. One place to start is at the dinner table. Even if it's for only 10 or 15 minutes, it's the sacrosanct time that everyone agrees is important.
"Turn off the TV and radio and don't read the newspaper. Ask questions that create the foundation for relationships - not only "Did you have a good day at school?" but also "What was good about school today?" It's also a good time for children to learn that they should ask, "And how was your day?"
Here are some other ways you can become involved with your children:
Listen up. Listen not just for what happened, but for what they are telling you about their day through their actions and tone.
Read together. This teaches kids that books are not only a source of education but also of pleasure.
Play board games together. You'll interact with your children while having fun.
Limit and monitor TV viewing, computer and video game time. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends no more than one to two hours of quality television or videos for children older than 2. Children younger than 2 should not watch TV or videos, the AAP says.
Focus on their unique interests. For some kids, it might be going to a ball game; for others shopping at the mall or baking cookies.
Relax more. With so many things to be done, there's something magical about spending two hours - or all day - on a Monopoly game. It says: "We value hard work, we also value relaxation time and we value being together."
