Misdiagnosis in gifted kids?
Find a Conversation

This is something that's been coming up among my IRL circle lately. It seems like the intensity, focus, asynchrony and quirkiness common in gifted kids can be difficult to distinguish from situations where there is really a problem. You get kids who compensate so well that ADHD or spectrum issues are missed, or others who are pushed to a diagnosis that isn't really there. Has anybody run into this? I'd particularly be interested in hearing from folks in public school, since I hear so much about stampedes to label/medicate kids who are difficult or require more attention.

I've been having login and posting problems myself since the upgrade. Sorry guys, it's taking a bit to get the kinks out. If I am slow to respond to posts, it's due to technical difficulties.

Having the same problem with Internet explorer, posting from chrome. Hopefully, a short-term problem! I was able to see posts on some threads with IE, but not on others (gave an error).
As to the initial question, I think the problem goes beyond gifted kids to all kids. Since so much of behavior is on a continuum, it can be very difficult to decide when a difference is a problem that needs to be fixed. Is the distracted, messy kid normal or does he have ADD Inattentive? Is the quirky introvert with few friends OK, or is she on the autism spectrum? Even if a family decides the problem needs to be fixed, what is the remedy when the problem is minimal? Put a kid on medication that can have very negative side effects? Put a kid in a social skills group that may not help anyway? Get accomodations at school that may feel like punishment? One answer is to let the kid function at their level, but it can be very difficult to accept that an incredibly gifted kid appears to be a slacker or that your child is sitting home alone every weekend. We all want our kids to be as successful as they can be.
There is also the question as to whether a kid with a high score on an IQ test, but with performance that is better than average, but not as good as the IQ score would suggest, has an LD. Alternatively, are other personality traits (that are within the range of normal) causing the less than stellar performance. A kid may not be interested in getting all As or may simply decide that playing computer games is more enticing than doing homework. Is the school responsible for giving a kid accomodations if they are not performing as well as they might or are they just not as good of a student as the kid that may have a lower IQ but work much, much harder? Or course, the other question is whether the school is testing the right things in assessing kids understanding of material.
The mis-match between intellectual age and actual age can be more pronounced in gifted kids, because their intellectual age can so far exceed their actual and emotional age. As parents our job is to meet the needs of both, but it can be very difficult. A child may need a multi-grade skip to be intellectually challenged, but the content of the material and the maturity of the other students may be too much to handle.
There are often no easy answers. I have tended to err on the side of not needing to fix things, but not always sure that is the best path.

My son thrived all thru elementary school and was even elected to student council in 5th grade, but when he got to middle school, everything went downhill because of his undiagnosed Asperger's (very mild, we just thought he was a little quirky). He was unable to read the social cues of his peers and teachers and completely shut down.
It took until 8th grade to get a diagnosis, and by then we knew we were taking him out of public school, so we never went through the process to get an IEP. Once we'd figured out what sort of environment he needed, we knew he'd be okay. He's now a sophomore in HS and thriving because he is in a very small, caring school. He feels emotionally safe there, something he'd been missing for the three miserable years of middle school.

No such issues with us. Both mine could be very intense but also had strong focus and impulse control. My youngest has some mild dyslexia/dysgraphia issues and was able to compensate with giftedness but every elementary teacher recognized on their own that what they saw on paper was not representative of his abilities. They did a good deal verbally and with handwriting accomodation in the earlier years, it wasn't an issue. In kindergarten and 1st, his teachers described him as "squirrely" but quickly added that it was to be expected at 4 and 5. They dealt with it by giving him various jobs that had him up and moving. After 1st, didn't come up again (though he continues to be the kid with a job even in middle school.)
I saw the opposite happen with my nephew. Also highly gifted but DID have ADHD. His mother refused to treat it for years thinking it was a gifted thing alone and it was a disastor. She did try meds in middle school and he thrived academically and socially. However, she felt like he wasn't her son on the meds and so she took him off and refused to try other methods. He barely graduated high school and is pretty much homeless (crashes on friend's couches) and steadily unemployed now nearing his 30's.
Certainly, I feel that ADHD is over-diagnosed. I do feel that elementary classrooms are not often well suited for the typical male (gifted or not.) Personally though, with all the gifted kids we know, I think only one was recommended for ADHD screening. His parents homeschooled him until high school instead and he's doing really well (and dating my DD who seems to find his quirky hyperness rather charming lol.)

50+: Live Better, Longer
A Good Mood May Boost Seniors' Brain Power
By Mary Elizabeth Dallas
HealthDay Reporter
MONDAY, Feb. 4 (HealthDay News) -- When older people's mood improves, so does their brain power, new research suggests.
Being in a good mood appears to enhance decision-making skills and working memory among older adults, according to the study published in the current issue of the journal Cognition and Emotion.
The study authors suggested that even something as simple as a small bag of candy can help older people perform better on so-called "cognitive" -- or thinking skill -- tests.
"There has been lots of research showing that younger adults are more creative and cognitively flexible when they are in a good mood. But because of the [mental] declines that come with aging, we weren't sure that a good mood would be able to help older adults," study co-author Ellen Peters, professor of psychology at Ohio State University, said in a university news release.
"So these results are good news," she added. "There are ways for older adults to overcome some of the [mental] declines that come with aging"
In conducting the study, the researchers divided 46 adults ranging in age from 63 to 85 years into two equal groups. Those included in the first group were given a thank you note and two small bags of candy tied with a red ribbon to boost their mood when they arrived for the thinking skill tests. Those in the other group did not receive either a thank you note or candy.
During the experiment, the participants who received the candy used computers that had a sky-blue background screen with smiling suns on it. Meanwhile, those who didn't receive the candy used computers with neutral round images but no smiling faces on the sky-blue background.
The participants were given $3 in quarters and eight virtual decks of cards featuring a different pattern during the decision-making tasks. Four of the decks were considered "gain" decks. If participants chose a card from one of these decks, 75 percent of the time they won a quarter and 25 percent of the time they didn't win or lose. The remaining four decks were considered "loss" decks. If someone chose a card from a "loss" deck, they lost a quarter 75 percent of the time, the study authors explained.
The participants could also accept or reject the top card of the deck that was offered to them. Their goal was to win as much money as they could. The participants were not told what the card values were. Instead, they had to learn through trial and error. The researchers noted they were looking to see how quickly the participants would learn which decks won them money and which ones didn't.
The study revealed that the older adults whose spirits were lifted with a thank you note and candy performed much better at the decision-making test than the other participants.

Ofcom Approves Everything Everywhere 4G Network, But Vodafone Fumes
Ofcom will allow Everything Everywhere to deploy a 4G LTE network this year, but rival Vodafone is not happy
Ofcom has given its provisional blessing to allow Everything Everywhere to deploy a 4G LTE or WiMax network in 2012, using the spectrum it already owns.
Last month it was reported that Everything Everywhere could become the first UK mobile operator to launch a commercial 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, after it emerged that it had already applied to Ofcom to run the network on its existing airwaves on a small scale, before apparently expanding the service.
Ofcom Approval
Ofcom has now considered Everything Everywhere's proposal to reuse its existing spectrum to deliver 4G services, and has given its blessing to the move, much to the ire of its rivals including Vodafone.
"Ofcom has considered whether allowing Everything Everywhere to use this spectrum in this way would distort competition, and provisionally concluded that it would not," said the UK communications regulator. "And given the benefits this would bring to consumers, Ofcom is minded to allow this change of use."
"Interested parties have four weeks in which to submit their views on this proposed change," it added.
The surprise decision from Ofcom comes before the 4G spectrum auction is due to take place later this year. Essentially, Ofcom will allow Everything Everywhere (Orange/T-Mobile UK) to vary its 1800 MHz spectrum licences for a 4G deployment. Such a move would give it an advantage over rivals Vodafone and O2 who are waiting for more frequencies to become available before launching a similar offering.
The perpetually delayed auction for 4G spectrum in the UK was delayed even more last year after Ofcom decided to launch a second consultation, following fierce criticism and threats of legal action from some mobile operators of its auction proposals. Ofcom had previously said that it wouldn't delay the process any more, but has since warned that a commercial 4G network may not be available in the UK for another four years, with the auction likely to take place in the fourth quarter of this year.
EE celebrates, Vodafone surprised
Predictably Ofcom's decision has delighted Everything Everywhere, but has left some of its rivals less than impressed.
"It's very important that the UK does not get left behind in the building of a new infrastructure for the digital economy", commented Everything Everywhere. "We welcome today's notice of 1800MHz licence variation from Ofcom, as it suggests Ofcom's willingness to encourage the early deployment of 4G LTE."
But Vodafone told TechWeekEurope that it was puzzled by Ofcom's decision.
"The next generation of mobile internet services has the potential to bring substantial benefits to British consumers, businesses and the wider economy," said Vodafone UK's Richard Wray in an emailed statement."But the full benefits will only be realised if there is more than one network providing 4G services."
"In its plans for the spectrum auction in early 2013, Ofcom has already stated it wants competition among four operators," he said. "So it comes as a surprise that the regulator is now considering giving the largest player in the market permission to use its existing spectrum for 4G services before the rules for the auction have even been concluded or it has divested spectrum as required by the European Commission."
Vodafone's point here is in reference to Everything Everywhere, which was formed after Orange and T-Mobile merged in July 2010. As part of a deal to gain the European Commission approval of the deal, Everything Everywhere is being forced to sell a quarter of its 1800MHz bandwidth.
Consumer Best Interest?
"We share the regulator's desire to see the next generation of mobile internet services rolled out quickly and placed within the reach of many more people in rural areas," Vodafone's Wray added. "But we seriously doubt that consumers' best interests will be served by giving one company a significant head start before any of its competitors have a clear path to 4G."
Vodafone said it would need to review Ofcom's reasons for pressing ahead with liberalisation of Everything Everywhere's existing spectrum before making its submission as part of the current consultation.
TechWeekEurope contacted 3UK and O2 for their thoughts on the matter, but they did not respond at the time of writing.
It is important to note that Everything Everywhere will not be the first to launch a LTE network in the UK. All the mobile operators in the UK have run 4G trials, but the first commercial launch of an LTE network was actually done by UK Broadband in February, when it switched on a LTE network in Southbank and Southwark boroughs of London using its 3.5 GHz spectrum. It will begin offering commercial 4G LTE services from May 2012 on a wholesale basis.

Before these over profited companies start whining about losing opportunity, they should concentrate on making sure that their networks actually work properly on 3G and that they provide actual nationwide service.

"Candy Bar Girls" recap: Episode 3
Chrissie is being taken by Shauntelle to meet her family up in Telford.
Shauntelle: In an hour and five minutes, you'll have met mummy and everything will be grand.
It turns out that Mummy is a formidable woman who plans to share all of Shauntelle's childhood stories with Chrissie. All of the tales have a constant theme involving condoms, sex and b–wjobs and it turns out that Shauntelle's nickname, appointed by mummy, is "little s–t" — purely, it seems, because she was a little s–t. The sister and daddy are remarkably quiet throughout the meeting.
Sarah: It wouldn't surprise me if dad hadn't actually spoken for the last 13 years.
Lee: A positive of this show has to be how unperturbed all of the parents are by their offspring's gayness.
Jackpot. It's Jo. Not DJ Jo, but the Jo that used to live in Shoreditch from episode one. She is with new, older girlfriend Alicia, a high-powered American who has recently settled in Londres.
It's Valentine's Day and Jo has taken Alicia to a spa because Jo likes the finer things in life. (Remember, she's eaten in Paris.) However, Alicia may have trumped her because she has surprised her with two tickets to the ballet. Jo considers this a mind-blowing gesture because Alicia apparently didn't even have to think about it. According to Jo, she just knew what to get her. We would argue that some thought must still have gone into this.
Sandra is back, and for Valentine's Day she's organised a singles night in the Candy Bar. Of course she has. Sam, however, is a bit wobbly because the bar is packed to the rafters.
Sam: I'm trying to stay uber Zen about it because if I freak out then I'm going to totally lose a grip on everything.
Lee: I've changed my mind. This wouldn't worry Alex at all.
Sarah: She'd just slam a tequila off another girl's arse and sort those lesbians out.
Giggling lovebirds Rachael and Rox are back. Their Valentine's soiree is at the Museum of London, but it doesn't get off to a glorious start because Rach has been left waiting a hefty amount of time by Rox, and when Rox does arrive she's forgotten Rach's Valentine's card. Rach smiles but inside she feels like chucking some of that modern art stuff in Rox's face.
In West London, Jo and Alicia dine in middle class bliss amid chandeliers and langoustines. Jo names her prawns and makes a joke about not liking tuna. Alicia laughs hysterically at Jo's off-the-wall humour, but silently wishes that Jo still lived in East London.
It seems that Rach finds it difficult to not have physical contact with Rox for more than 30 seconds. She even tries to slow dance with her whilst people around them are poker-faced talking about art.
Rach: Sometimes I look at her and I think you are the most beautiful girl I have ever laid eyes on. She's perfect for me.
Lee: We can't say anything mean about this, it's really quite sweet.
Sarah: So long as you're not actually with them.
At the Candy Bar, Sandra's single Valentine's night is going down a storm. Everyone seems a bit wrecked and hating the romance of Valentines with a drunken passion. Once again Sandra's night has made Gary a whole load of pink pounds whether he likes it or not.
"Great LezBritain" authors Sarah, a Londoner, and Lee, a Glaswegian, met in a gay discotheque one bleak mid winter, eight years ago and have been shacked up together ever since. When not watching Tipping The Velvet,
they find time to write, run a PR company, DJ at their own club nights and love a bit of jam on toast. Follow them on Twitter at greatlezbritain.

tive modern human features as long life spans and enlarged brains in the ancestries of both humans and elephants.
Charles Darwin (1859) proposed that natural selection favors inherited modifications that better adapt the organisms of a species to the environment of that species. Darwin also proposed the tree model for life's evolution. In this model, natural selection adaptively modifies newly arisen species as they branch apart from their common ancestor (Darwin, 1859). Although there is now evidence that symbiotic merges produced the first eukaryotes and that prokaryotic species engage in reticulate evolution (Doolittle, 1999; Margulis and Sagan, 2002; Avise, 2008), Darwin's model of tree-like branching appears to hold for the evolution of primates and other vertebrates. Having deduced that species share common ancestors, Darwin also reasoned that a truly natural system for classifying species would be genealogical, that is, species should be classified according to how recently they last shared a common ancestor. The hierarchical ranking in such a genealogical system could then be used to indicate how relatively close or distant in geological time extant species are from their last common ancestor (LCA).
In accord with this Darwinian framework, the phylogenomic approach to elucidating adaptive evolution in the ancestry of modern humans involves identifying the changes in genes and genomes on a phylogenetic tree that accurately places humans within the order Primates and, more widely, within the class Mammalia. Viewing the ancestries of many mammals, not just the ancestry of modern humans, could provide examples of convergent adaptive evolution, which may point to specific categories of genetic changes that are associated with important phenotypic changes. This phylogenomic approach could help identify the positively selected genetic changes that shaped such distinctive modern human features as prolonged prenatal and postnatal development, lengthened life spans, strong social bonds, enlarged brains, and high cognitive abilities. In this article, we first briefly sketch out the historical background of ideas and findings that have led to phylogenomic studies of human evolution. We then highlight the concepts that motivate our own efforts and discuss how phylogenomic evidence has enhanced our understanding of adaptive evolution in the ancestry of modern humans.
In The Descent of Man, and Selection in Relation to Sex, Charles Darwin (1874) suggested that Africa was the birthplace for humankind. The fol-

Definición de squaw en inglés:
squawSaltos de línea: squaw
mid 17th century: from Narragansett squaws 'woman', with related forms in many Algonquin dialects.
Until relatively recently, the word squaw was used neutrally in anthropological and other contexts to mean 'an American Indian woman or wife'. With changes in the political climate in the second half of the 20th century, however, the derogatory attitudes of the past towards American Indian women have meant that, in modern North American English, the word cannot be used in any sense without being offensive. In British English the word has not acquired offensive connotations to the same extent, but it is nevertheless uncommon and now regarded as old-fashioned.

I am walking in the rain as so many people do
Letting the rain refresh me as I thought of you
The rain erasing all doubts from my mind
Knowing you're one of a kind.
Your love like a pearl in an oyster shell
Is worth more than man can tell.
GIRL! Your love became like an eternal fire
Filling all my hearts desires.
I am giving in – can't take it any more
My life has changed since you walked out that door.
I've had lonely days and sleepless nights
No more "WILL" left to fight.
Why did I hurt you the way I did
When you had so much love to give.
There is a torrential "rain in my heart"
And I'm praying for a brand new start.
Will you forgive me and take me in
Like you would a long lost friend.

Rain on beach, full moon, crowded street, children laughing, candle light can make me happy. wat simple things make u
Christmas music playing low in the background, the hushed whispers of the kids crowded around the tree guessing what is in their presents while family and friends sit at the big table playing cards and laughing. I miss that.
My life is tryly filled with happy miracles along with deep sorrow, such is life.
Being alive,random strangers who smile at me,beautifull sunset,being with my family,

Laughing with my friends,watching kids play outside.

Just the postive things from daily life put a smile on my face. :)
Rain on streets,empty streets , crows and birds , cats and dogs walking

Children laughing , someone smoking

Someone crying

These things making me happy and feel alive
The smell of coffee

The sound of crackling fire

Curtains billowing in the wind

The rock & sway when on the sail boat

The warmth of the sun

Making people smile
Good health can make me happy.

We had a great Tuesday because Will.i.am was on NML and had a nice, long chat with Jesse!
There were some rumours flying around that Will.i.am was in talks to join Mariah Carey as a judge on American Idol and when Jesse asked him about it, he definitely dodged the question. But Will.i.am did joke around saying he would be the next VJ on MuchMusic…we'd definitely be happy to have him! He also told us that the idea behind his upcoming album #willpower is all about connecting with his fans, hence the hashtag, and giving each other the willpower to achieve your goals. Will.i.am also told us that you can expect collaborations with Britney Spears and Justin Bieber on his new album. And you might be hearing more from him and Bieber because they were on a plane together last night and Bieber showed him his new track that he produced entirely by himself, which Will.i.am obviously was into!
Tomorrow on NML, the cast of Step Up Revolution is here and we're having a dance battle! Tune in at 6 ET.

My company was looking a simple recruiting solution that that allowed candidates to email us directly and give us flexibility on how we wanted to present our job listings. Recruiterbox solved that problem and has continued to improve since we started using it, offering new analytics and organizational abilities.
Easiest way to manage resume and applicants!Jessica Lapin1st of July, 2011 08:20
When I first logged on to their site three months ago, it looked too simple for our needs. I thought maybe I would need to check out something more "heavy" for our needs. But after I took the trial on the free plan, this tool surprised me. It looks simple, but is very powerful. The most awesome feature is their unique email for every opening - so all applications will automatically come in by openings. And its easy to publish openings everywhere and receive applications, once you create them.

Researchers Explore Scrapping Internet
Engineers see problems with current system, working on models that could replace today's design
"Almost every assumption going into the current design of the Internet is open to reconsideration and challenge," said Parulkar, the NSF official heading to Stanford. "Researchers may come up with wild ideas and very innovative ideas that may not have a lot to do with the current Internet."

Julian sat his bookbag down on his desk chair and sighed as he went into his closet to get changed. He was going through his 'comfy clothes' when he saw Logan's old Lacrosse shirt. He slipped that on and smiled, seeing as it still smelled a bit like the blonde's cologne. He also grabbed some of Derek's soccer sweatpants that were way too big on him and slipped off his shoes before walking across the hall and knocking softly on Logan's door.
wait what this supposed to be.. and Kurt to be in here some where
Julian smiled a little, pulling back completely from Logan and throwing a glance at him over his shoulder before he...
Logan looked stunned, looking at him and licking his own lips. "…Wow."

They are also documenting the process on film, with final plans for the footage not yet determined.

I think I have a claustrophobic puppy (16 weeks old).
I think I have a claustrophobic puppy (16 weeks old). I have been working with my puppy to get him crate trained for weeks now. He hates it, he will cry and bark for hours when he is in it. I read every blog and tried literally everything. I made the crate a positive place, gave him treats in it, fed him in it, worked up the time gradually, never took him out when he was crying, put in a shirt with my smell, gave him a Kong filled with peanut butter, gave him bully sticks, got him a snuggle puppy (has a heartbeat, warms up) got him a DPA diffuser, took him out for big park play sessions in the morning and at lunch, put him in the crate when I was at home, next to the bed....etc. you get the idea, I tried it all. We then moved him to the bathroom where he would have more room. He still barked in the bathroom, he would not play with his toys or lick his Kong, we know this because we have a Skype account set up to watch him while we are at work. I heard a suggestion that he could have separation anxiety or that he could be claustrophobic. I didn't really think that this could be true, I tend to think that people and dogs are over diagnosed but today my fiancé and I decided to experiment. Atlas sleeps on the floor of our bedroom at night since barking through the night for weeks got old and he has only had one accident in the house since we got him. We decided to leave him in there while we were at work. Then suddenly in the bedroom he is fine- plays with his toys takes naps no barking all day long! This is the first time that he has ever gone all day long without barking. Could our dog really be claustrophobic? Is it just the room that he is in (more comfortable in the bedroom?) Every person on every blog out there says it is horrible to leave a 16 week old puppy out of the crate but if he does not have accidents and does not chew/destroy things is it really a problem?

My dog did the same thing ND TO BE HONEST ITS KINDA LIKE US, WOULD YOU WANT TO BE LOCKED IN A CAGE ALL DAY...HECK NO! BABY GATES WORK BETTER, KEEP IN A ROOM W/PEE PEE PADS AND A BABY GATE, IF YOU THINK HELL JUMP IT, STACK TWO...THE DOG FEELS MUCH MORE SAFE NOT CONFINED AND IT WORKS, YES DOGS CAN BE CLAUSTROPHOBIC. HOPE THIS HELPS, BUT I DONT RECOMMEND CRATES, THEY ARE MEAN AND DOGS AREN;T MENT TO BE IN THEM :)
gidget answered on 1/3/13. Helpful? / 0
My dog can't be crated, either. She just doesn't calm down, destroys the crate and hurts herself in the process. She would need one of those crazy rebar/reinforced ones. She doesn't cause trouble or go potty in the house, so I just stopped using it.
The big issue here is safety (and so many bodily fluids). For a pup that young, the biggest concern is that he will eat something that will hurt him. If you can remove that danger, you may not need to shut him in the crate. Maybe using a baby gate to block off the room and puppy-proofing it by removing anything that could harm him.
He isn't very old, though, so I would keep feeding him in the crate, leave the door open, keep blankets and toys in there, etc. Eventually, he'll probably start going in on his own.
Libby answered on 1/3/13. Helpful? / 0
Gidget. Total baloney! Crates are not mean & most dogs really like them. Dogs are NOT people. Dogs den & a crate replicates that. And please don't use screaming caps.
OP. It sounds like you truly did try your best. I'm glad you found a solution. The only thing you might try is an x-pen. If it were me I would use the bedroom & put the crate in there. Not force him to go in. Just have it there with treats. Maybe he'll get used to it.
For what it's worth, I don't crate my guys either.
You could post this in the main Behavior & Training forum for more tips in a dialogue form.
Good luck

23rd Oct: It's time for the second TV Tropes Halloween Avatar Contest, theme: cute monsters! Details and voting here.
main index
"I've killed a lot of vampires. I've never hated one before."A trio of vampire assassins ambush Buffy on her way home from a Pre-Fumigation Party at the Bronze. Angel shows up at a critical moment, but is wounded. Buffy abandons the fight and helps Angel run to her house, where Angel exposits that a vampire can't enter someone's home unless it's invited in. Remember that, kids.Buffy bandages Angel's wound, and they flirt a bit. Joyce suddenly drops in, and Buffy quickly improvises that the visibly-older Angel is her "tutor". Joyce sternly suggests that it's a bit late for 'tutoring.' Buffy pretends to pack Angel off, but instead sneaks him up to her bedroom to wait out the vamps. There's some of awkwardness about sleeping arrangements before they settle in for the evening.The next day, Angel camps out until nightfall while Buffy heads to school. Returning home, Buffy brings some supper for Angel. Angel mutters miserably that he's older than she is and that he should go. They take that last half-step toward each other and start kissing. Suddenly, Angel pulls back, and Buffy lets out a terrified scream; Angel's face is twisted into the guise of the vampire. With Joyce alerted, Angel haphazardly escapes out the window and returns to his dank apartment. He's a little surprised to see Darla sashaying from the shadows. They talk, and we learn that the two used to be an item. As a parting shot, she challenges him to tell Buffy about "the curse," and if it blows up in his face, he always has a home with The Master — and her. Angel stands there looking Real Troubled.In the library, Giles scans over the Watcher Diaries for any mention of Angel and pulls up Angelus, "the one with the angelic face", who wreaked havoc all over Ireland and Europe. He later migrated to America, where he shunned vampire life; after that, the record runs dry. Buffy argues that Angel has had ample opportunity to feed off people in Sunnydale but resisted. Xander, delighted by this news, reminds Buffy that it's her duty to slay Angel. Thanks.Meanwhile in the Master's lair, Darla takes another stab at volunteering to kill Buffy. She cooks up a plan to have Angel kill Buffy, thereby returning to the Master's fold. Darla drops in on the Summers Home, where she cons Joyce into inviting her in by claiming to be Buffy's "study buddy". Prowling around Buffy's house , Angel hears Joyce's cry and rushes in just as Darla begins to bite. Daring Angel to drink too, Darla thrusts Joyce's limp body into his arms and flees out the back door. Tempted by Joyce's warm blood, Angel momentarily vamps out, but is discovered — in flagrant�, so to speak — by a newly-arrived Buffy. Horrified, Buffy throws him out of the house (literally), then phones for an ambulance.At the hospital, Buffy, Giles, Willow and Xander try to help "anemic" Joyce reconstruct events, and she says her last memory is of inviting Buffy's "friend" inside. Buffy misunderstands, thinking Joyce means Angel. Leaving her mother in the care of friends, she sets out to kill Angel. At Angel's apartment, Darla works him into a fury, telling him how easy it was to poison Buffy against him, exhorting him to kill or be killed.Buffy tracks Angel to the deserted Bronze. After some impersonal and witty banter, Angel is ready to rumble. Eventually Buffy gets Angel in her crossbow sights; he morphs back to his human face and tells her to kill him. Buffy intentionally shoots wide and her bolt thunks into the wall beside his head. When Buffy demands to know why Angel toyed with her affections, Angel laments that he was cursed by the Romani, a gypsy tribe, for eating one of their daughters. The Gypsies restored his soul as a means to wrack him with guilt, eternally tormenting him. Suddenly, Darla jumps out from the shadows, packing two pistols. She hisses that she and Angel were lovers for two centuries and that she is Angel's sire. Having now written Angel off as a lost cause, Darla advances on the duo, guns blazing. Angel yanks the crossbow bolt out of the wall and stakes Darla through the heart, dusting his maker.At the Bronze's Post-Fumigation Party, Buffy and Angel convince each other that their romance can never happen. With a final goodbye, they kiss. Angel's open shirt reveals his chest is branded by the impression of Buffy's cross.

Canada Forest Industry Should Lead Government Trade Strategy
Posted by Bill Esler | Posted: 11/27/2013 5:44PM
OTTAWA- The Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC) issued a statement of support for the Canadian Government's latest trade initiative, the Global Markets Action Plan.
The Canadian forest products industry, at $57 billion, is one of the country's leading export sectors, receiving almost half its revenues from products sold in 180 markets around the world. Forest products are Canada's number one export to China, and represent 2% of Canada's GDP and provides 230,000 direct jobs
"From its very beginnings, the Canadian forest products sector has heavily relied on export markets," says the President of FPAC, David Lindsay.
IN 2012, FPAC launched Vision2020, a plan which includes the goal of generating an additional $20 billion in economic activity in new products and markets by the end of the decade. The Government of Canada also underwrites the Investments in Forest Industry Transformation (IFIT) program and through FPInnovations.

Fitness & Exercise
Get More Energy!
What to Do continued...
4. Give yourself a massage.
Massage your ears for 15 to 30 seconds, suggests Teitelbaum. This stimulates energizing acupuncture points for a quick mental boost.
5. Have a banana.
Bananas provide potassium, a mineral key to converting blood sugar into energy, says ob/gyn Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom.
6. Sip green tea.
It contains caffeine (a stimulant) and theanine, which calms you while leaving your mind clear.
7. Take a hike.
Observing nature's beauty can relieve energy-zapping stress. Studies suggest that workers who have views of nature have fewer stress-related symptoms.
8. Avoid "energy vampires."
You know, like that friend who calls twice a day just to grumble? "These people wear you out with their constant complaining," says Judith Orloff, M.D. So set limits. For instance, tell your friend you can talk for only five minutes, then end the call when her time is up.
9. Take a power nap.
A Harvard study found that a 30-minute midday nap prevented energy from flagging further, while an hour-long nap actually boosted energy and performance.
10. Do a mini-meditation.
Sit in a quiet place, take slow, deep breaths, and concentrate on a pleasing memory. Within three minutes, you should feel calmer and more energized.

Here in Eastern PA we're getting slammed with snow storm after snow storm so what's better than a giant pot of absolutely delicious chili? I stored mine in individual serving mason jars and put the extra (that I won't eat this week) in the freezer for the next huge snowstorm! Feel free to spice this up with your favorite spices or veggies, I picked green beans because I always have them frozen on hand and zucchini (I waited until almost the end to add it so that it wouldn't get soggy). I've been having this for lunch along with a big salad and a yogurt for a filling, delicious, balanced meal!

The recent story and photos run by the local newspaper about widening Route 2 north of Rockford does not tell the whole story. The tree removal is clear cutting thousands of trees from a strip about 100 yards wide and a quarter-mile long. That includes tree removal from a wetland. Drive north on Route 2, Main Street, and see for yourself. Reportedly, the IDOT says they will replant only 650 trees. How many years before that replaces what has been lost?
It is the worst kind of urban sprawl. It removes an attractive, shady green space and plants concrete. It paves over existing productive cropland and plants highways. All this destruction for a 3-mile expansion from two to four lanes. The price tag is over $20 million, so that amounts to $7 million per mile. Such a deal. The benefit? Suburban residents may be able to drive home faster from their jobs in Rockford. Some say it boosts economic development, but do we truly need an extension of strip malls and sports bars along Route 2? It is a sad, destructive waste of money when so many bridges and highways need to be repaired.

So Daytrader just officially called it a day. I had a Turkey, Swiss, and Chipotle panini on whole wheat/oat but my phone is dead so I couldn't snap a pic.
Just take my word for it.

Lead singer of Daytrader leaves band, cancels tour dates. Say they're not breaking up. That's OK.
What is important is that JUST ONE DAY LATER Crime In Stereo announces they're getting back together, recording new material, and touring. Crime In Stereo is one of the best bands ever as far as I'm concerned and one of the first entries I did for this Tumblr.

The statement made it sound more like an indecisive plan for the future and an end to the band as we know it, and it's hard to imagine a group that is essentially just one guy to actually 'break up', but Alternative Press said it was a break up so it gets a sandwich. And it's a bummer if they stop doing music, because I thought they honestly started to hit their stride with Scrambles and blew it away with Vacation.
It's like an egg mcmuffin but I made the eggs wrong and put it on Italian bread. There is bacon and hot sauce in there too. That's Nutella, not shit, and hashbrowns.
My friend emailed Jeff and I guess they're not breaking up but I already posted this so FUCK IT.

Kelsey Grammer and Camille Grammer have ended their custody war ... settling the dispute and doing it amicably ... TMZ has learned.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the case has officially been taken off calendar. Sources connected with the former couple tell TMZ ... Kelsey and Camille have agreed to joint custody of their 2 kids -- 10-year-old Mason and 7-year-old Jude.
We're told the kids will both continue living in Los Angeles with Camille, but Kelsey will maintain "meaningful contact" with both of them.
The couple had reached a temporary custody agreement last July, but this one is permanent.
As for the couple's financial dispute, sources tell us ... they have almost resolved all of the money issues and it should be settled very shortly.
Good for Camille, get that money man!!!
un huh, So, the girlfriend lost the first baby, he fights for custody of his kids, she's now wife and carrying twins so he's going to "have meaningful contact" with them. What kind of "JOINT" custody is that?
Kelsey discards his "old" family when he gets a new one, so he had zero interest in havng physical custody of Camille's kids and was just fighting to make Camille's life more stressful. He's a pig.
Kelsey Grammar did not come across as a very nice person. He basically ditched his family.
I hope she gets alot of cash from him...def. hurt his reputation
What a relief for Camille!!!!!
Kelsey seems like such a jerk, like he'd intentionally prolong things and just fight at every turn, it is sick how he glamorized cheating like he did. Used to like him on Frasier, never want to see anything he is in again.
Hope Camille and her children are at peace with all of this.
Kelsey seemed to abandon his kids, and chose cheating and a new woman over his kids.
Don't have respect for him, after what he did, then going to the media to put down Camille and act all big and proud of cheating on her.
This is off target but sometimes when I masturbate, I like to look at my own picture. #Vanity.
Congratulations to the "BOTH" of them!!! Now maybe his ex-wife will "quietly" fade into "OBSCURITY". I suspect "meaningful" contact translates into visitation will take place per the "flexibility" of both Kelsey and his children's schedules. As long as Camille Grammer is being "PAID", I doubt if she's going to be "overly" concerned with the "FREQUENCY" of Kelsey's visits. These two seem to "DETEST" each other and hopefully over time, they'll feel much more comfortable discussing issues related to their children. For the sake of "ALL" his children, I hope Kelsey Grammer's current marriage is a "KEEPER"!!! After three previous attempts, perhaps he's discovered what he really wants the most from such an intimate partnership.
Sounds like he wasn't so interested in seeing his kids. No matter.
Kelsey was practically broke and had fallen off the wagon when he met Camille. SHE made some beautiful investments in real estate, etc and actually she is only getting what she made for him and he is even getting a bit SHE made for him. She turned his finances around and helped him with his sobriety. I am not a big fan of Camilles or Kelsey but the gold digger comments are stupid as she made him money.
Man those kids are growing fast last reported in october he went out with 3-year-old Jude and 6-year-old Mason
They reported that Kelsey didn't even want his daughter, just his son which is pretty messed up. It looks like the children won't be separated, that's good.
Camille's new boyfriend Dimitri is bisexual. He is also into men.
This could have happened months ago, something must be up.
He is a pos anyway and in the long run Camille has done the stand up thing by keeping her mouth shut and living her life oh and taken care of their kids. You go girl!
people always mock his new gf, but I honestly find her hotter, camille isnt ageing well tbh.

Regular season ends with loss
Melons allow too many opportunities to slip away
With no outs and bases loaded in the bottom of the second inning, the Senior Melons had a golden opportunity to take an early lead over Shelton/Gibbon Monday night.
But a pair of strikeouts and an antsy base runner left Gothenburg with no runs and no momentum as the visitors handed the Melons a 14-5 loss to close out the regular season.
After giving up two runs on two hits in the first inning, Gothenburg held Shelton/Gibbon scoreless in the second.
In the bottom of the frame, Jeff Rodriguez reached first after being hit by a pitch.
Brandon Wlasiuk followed up with a single to right field and Levi Walker loaded the bases after getting hit on the leg.
Two straight strikeouts wouldn't have ended the inning but Rodriguez jumped the gun on the last pitch and was thrown out trying to get back to third.
Shelton/Gibbon came back to score another three runs in the top of the third and one in the fourth to go up 6-0.
The Melons finally got on the board in the bottom of the fourth.
Rodriguez walked and advanced with a single by Wlasiuk to center field.
Rodriguez took third on a wild pitch and was able to scoot home on another one.
It wasn't until the top of the sixth inning that the game got totally out of reach.
Shelton/Gibbon scored six runs on four hits, including a double by Nathan Byrne to take a 12-1 lead.
Although the Melons managed four runs in the bottom of the sixth, it wasn't near enough to make up the deficit.
Wlasiuk led the way in the batter's box going 3-for-3 with one run. Trent Good was the only other Melon to record a hit.
Four pitchers shared duties on the mound with Justin Larson taking the loss.
The Melons fall to 4-19 to end the regular season. The lopsided record isn't the team's only challenge as they enter the Class B Area 6 tournament this weekend.
Injuries and absences leave Gothenburg with only nine players for the tournament.

Short Story Competition Winners
Festival President Wins Mendip Area 2014 Somerset Volunteer Star Award
Martin Bax was the winner in the Mendip area of the 2014 Somerset volunteer Star award.
The first Somerset volunteer 'Star' award took place at County Hall on Thursday, July 17. Cllr William Wallace, Somerset County Council's Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care, made the presentation.
To coincide with National Volunteer week Somerset County Council decided to celebrate volunteering in Somerset. The event was organised by the Somerset 'You Can Do' team on behalf of the Somerset 'Celebrating Support' group. They invited people to nominate volunteers in their area and a winning nominee from each of the districts was picked at random By Cll Wallace. The lucky winner from the Mendip District was Martin Bax.
Martin Bax was a Town and District councillor and a former Mayor of Frome. Martin is the President of the Frome Festival which he founded in 2001 and was the Director for the first seven years of its existence. He was a founding trustee of Rook Lane Arts Trust and is currently its Chairman. Over the years he has been involved in various organised fundraising events for local charities and organisations.
Martin Said "When I first heard that I had been nominated for this award, I was completely taken- a-back. My first reaction was that there must be more deserving people in the caring sector. However, the organisers informed me that one of the objects of the award was to highlight the wide variety of volunteering work that is done in Somerset. I am also pleased this award will highlight the good work done by so many volunteers in Frome. I like to think I am accepting this award on their behalf."
Speaking at the award ceremony, Cllr Wallace praised volunteers for their efforts: "It is fantastic that we can recognise just a few of our dedicated volunteers here today. These individuals can be extremely proud of the selfless work they undertake in our county.
Volunteers are unsung heroes that do so much without asking for anything in return and I would personally like to thank all volunteers in Somerset for their work
Bryan Mitchell, Manager of the Somerset 'You Can Do' team said: "It's been a fantastic privilege to have coordinated Somerset Celebrating Volunteering and particularly the Somerset Star Volunteer awards. To have over 150 nominations in the first year has been amazing and shows how much people in Somerset value volunteers. I am looking forward to next year and the chance to meet even more Somerset Star Volunteers."
The prizewinners will each have a star named after them, an imaginative and memorable way of commemorating their achievements. To find out more about the awards and the winners see www.scvolunteering.com
Seann Walsh Cancelled
It is with great disappointment that the festival announces the cancellation of Seann Walsh at the Merlin this evening due to illness. Refunds will be made from point of purchase. We will try to re schedule the event at a future date.
