Custodial Grandparenting: Individual, Cultural, and Ethnic Diversityby Bert Hayslip, Jr.
Pub. Date: 10/12/2005
Publisher: Springer Publishing Company
This unique book examines variability among custodial grandparent caregivers. It focuses on diversity among grandparent-headed families in domestic and international settings, with over 35 contributors exploring the many factors that contribute to such diversity. It also examines diversity across individual differences, especially those of gender and age, ethnicity
This unique book examines variability among custodial grandparent caregivers. It focuses on diversity among grandparent-headed families in domestic and international settings, with over 35 contributors exploring the many factors that contribute to such diversity. It also examines diversity across individual differences, especially those of gender and age, ethnicity and race, and culture.
An awareness of their uniqueness is essential to the process of understanding the demands of custodial grandparents' new roles, and in providing appropriate services to them.
Whatever the reason, most grandparents raising grandchildren never anticipated that they would parent again. For most, this new role causes significant upheaval in their lives. Problems contributing to stress may include having to give up or reduce hours of work, early retirement, and providing financial and emotional support for their grandchildren.
This book is a valuable resource for practitioners and extension educators who work with grandparents raising their grandchildren. It provides a wealth of information and a basis on which national and state-run services can evaluate their current policies and devise funds, services, and programs that will help this growing population successfully raise their grandchildren.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
I've had the 1390T Nuvi for a little over a month now. In that time, most of my traveling about has been in my local area, with only a couple of trips out of the area. During the time I have had the 1390T, I have identified several positive and negative observations about it. These are presented in no particular order of importance.
Positive Comments:
1. After initial acquisition, satellite reacquisition is very, very fast.
2. The intersection view showing the highway signs and the proper lanes to be in is very useful when traveling on highways you are not familiar with. Just be aware that you won't see this screen unless the highway has multiple lanes that fork in different directions. This view is not displayed for standard cloverleaf exists.
3. Screen resolution on the Nuvi is great. It is bright, clean, crisp, and easily viewed in full daylight. Button functions, for the most part, are obvious and operate smoothly. Audio quality is excellent with good volume control.
4. The map can be displayed as a standard 2-D map or as a 3-D map, and you can switch between them at will. Which you use as your primary map display will depend on your preferences after experimenting with each.
5. I like the fact that the USB connector port is on the back of the unit, rather than on the mount.
While the general functioning of the Nuvi appears to be excellent, I do have a few
Negative Comments:
1. When indoors and plugged into a wall outlet with no satellite reception, the 1390T will not allow me access to its functions EVEN when the correct password is entered.
2. Documentation for my toaster oven is better than that which is available for the Nuvi. To put it plainly, the Nuvi documentation, which has to be downloaded separately from Garmin's web site, is almost worthless. I somehow made a change to the display that wasn't in the owner's manual and could not reverse that accidental change without doing a system restore to factory settings. That really pissed me off.
3. When I touch the top of the screen to display the intersection where I am to turn, the display only remains visible for between 3 and 4 seconds. That is not enough time to really be certain you have seen what you wanted to see. It should be displayed automatically when I approach the intersection and should remain visible until I press a return button of some kind, or until after I have executed the turn or the cloverleaf exit.
4. No map scale is displayed continuously. Some times it is displayed, and sometimes it isn't displayed, and when it is displayed, the font size is too small to be of much use. Since I often refer to the map scale, I would like to see it continuously displayed in a font size to make it easily recognizable.
5. When following a route, the 3-D map has a habit of zooming in on every intersection I travel through, even though no turn is indicated. I find this annoying. If I want to zoom in on those areas, I would prefer to do it manually.
6. When I go off route, this unit will recompute a new route. But - if I have moved to a road that is not on the current map, the unit will simply tell me to return to the marked route. It gives no indication of where that marked route might be or what direction I should drive in to get back to it. That's not so bad in an area I know something about, or if I am not too far off the route, but outside of my area and way off route, it could be a bit problem.
I have not tried to use the geocaching capability of this unit, so I can't comment on the internal compass or on the accuracy of the altimeter. Neither have I tried to use the bluetooth capability. I would also be remiss if I did not point out that the unit I have shut itself off once while it was calculating a new route and would not restart for 30 minutes. It may have been caused my the fact that the software was interrupted by sunrise initiated screen display change just as the computation was being initiated. The only way I could get the unit back up was to hold down the power button for about 15-20 seconds before releasing it, a solution that I could not find in the owner's manual, but it seemed to me that there had to be a reboot capability. The unit also refused on one occassion to display the roads on the map until I did a reboot. That really sucks.
While the 1390T is more attractive than my StreetPilot 2610, I think the 2610 was more stable and had functions that behaved a little bit better than the corresponding functions in this new 1390T. I like the Nuvi 1390T, but for all the reasons stated here, I can only give this unit a 3-star rating.
The unit froze on the map, leaving the impression you are doing fine. Luckily I noticed before my next intersection or I would have really been lost. When I repowered, it just flashed Garmin...Garmin...Garmin and never booted up. After having my daughter at home call the Garmin customer service, after 45 minutes of hold time, they acted like this is something unheard of (see the many other bad reviews here with this exact same problem). They said I should return the unit. Nice, I'm in the middle of the wilderness still 400 miles from my destination and all I need to do is ship this back to the Amazon web site! Hey Garmin ... HOW ABOUT EXCHANGING IT AT ANOTHER OF THE HUNDREDS OF YOUR RETAILERS I AM PASSING ON THE ROAD?!?
After rereading the other reviews here who encountered this problem and had the same reoccurrence with replacement units from Garmin, I am NOT exchanging this for another 1390T. AGarmin nüvi 1390/1390T 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Trafficnd I strongly recommend you do not buy one. I may buy another Garmin model, but after the customer service experience and the lack of real help while I was lost on the road (the whole reason I purchased a GPS in the first place) I am not sure.
Pet Peeves: My old Garmin Nuvi had a feature that provided for a "ping" sound just prior to a voice prompt coming on - that seems to be absent from the new version (unless I simply cannot find a setting to turn that on) - this was always helpful in getting your attention for a voice prompt.
Road names instead of route numbers - I still fail to understand why they continue to use road and street names instead of route numbers when giving directions (and I'm talking about state and US route numbers). It is common to have intersections and roads without the street name shown on any signs, but the state and US route numbers are always there and are always consistent. Often a state or US route number will change names several times, even within a single county, so I really don't understand why they don't just use the route numbers, or at least include the route numbers - this is probably my biggest problem with the Garmins, and it seems like such an obvious, and easily fixable, drawback (maybe other brands have this flaw as well, I don't know).

By mom of 2 girls on April 15, 2011
I purchased this bed last year through another company for super cheap. It was under $ 15. My daughter liked the canopy bed from American Girl, but I wasn't willing to pay the price. This bed is really cute, but, it does have some flaws. First, the bedding is made well but thin. I opened up the seams on one side and added poly fill to it and it looks great now. Second, the curtains are very stiff. It needs a couple of washes to soften the curtains so they are easier to gather. Third, the bed IS only 18 1/4" long, so if you are buying it for an American Girl, her feet will stick out the bottom. You can prevent this by fluffing up the pillow, but the dolls eyes will stay open slightly because she is not completely flat. The quilt fits the dolls when they are sleeping but looks small when you hold it up. The frame can be a little flimsy, but you can fix it by using electrical tape on top where the canopy goes. You will not see the tape because the canopy covers it. They sell another bed, same styling, I think it is the updated version. They have made it a little bigger now so the doll should fit well and they changed the pattern of the curtains. It looks more frilly. White with pink trim. For a cheap price, it's definitely a cute bed, but you may have to make some alterations.
Thank you for your feedback.

This bed was a great product for the price. We were looking at the American Girl Doll Beds for $125+ and didn't want to make such a large purchase right now. The doll fits perfectly and the bed is cute. The curtains close for bedtime. It's not incredibly sturdy, but it's not meant for rough play so our daughter has no problem with it. It is a fantastic value for the price. I was completely satisfied.

Industry experts disagree with the Justice Department's decision to block the proposed American Airlines-US Airways merger on Tuesday. "We believe three is better than two, though clearly our views are at odds with the DOJ," according to analysts at J.P Morgan. Allied Pilots Association President Capt. Keith Wilson also weighed in, noting consolidation has helped the industry to stabilize. "It makes no sense for the Justice Department to conclude now that airline industry consolidation is somehow undesirable," said Wilson.

Hear ye! Hear ye! Order in the court. We are here today to begin proceedings against all the scumbags who aren't with us -- in particular, critics, dissenters, liberals, intellectuals and a whole bunch of other people whose names we're not going to tell you because Attorney General John Ashcroft has decreed we don't have to. And, we'll be using evidence we won't reveal because we know better than the Constitution. Representing the government will be President George W. Bush, who ...
Defense counsel: Objection! If it pleases your honor.
Judge: What's your objection?
Defense: President Bush isn't a lawyer.
Judge: So? Lawyer, smlawyer. There's a good chance Dubya isn't legitimately the president. But when you've got the biggest stick in the world, you can do what you damn well please.
Defense: But if this is a court of justice, what about those 58,000 mostly black and Democratic voters illegally stripped from Florida's voter rolls by Jeb so his bro could win? Isn't that a conspiracy? How can this man be a prosecutor, much less president?
President: Would you like a forever-vacation in a cage at Guantanamo?
Defense: Oops. No objection.
Surprise witness: May I address the court?
Judge: Who in hell are you?
Witness: Funny you should use that terminology. Whatever. I'm here today to testify as the first witness because I know more about this issue than anyone else.
Defense: Huh?
Witness: Be patient. I know what's puzzling you is the nature of my game.
Judge: Sir, I asked who you were.
Witness: It's a State Secret. As you know, almost everything today, from what Dubya connived with Enron to what he knew and when about 9-11, is a secret. But I'm pleased to meet you, and I hope you'll guess my name.
Judge: Well, tell the court about yourself.
Witness: It should be obvious that I'm a man of wealth and taste.
President: Hey, podner, that mean y'all are a Republican?
Witness: Among other things.
President: If you've got lots of cash, you should visit my ranch.
Witness: Been there. Don't you recall? Last August, I accompanied the CIA team that briefed you on a likely terrorist attack.
President: Well, shucks, sure I remember you now. Told me to just relax because my poll ratings were about to go through the ceiling, and to call Dad and ask how things were going at the Carlyle Group. Darn good advice. Did you enjoy yourself?
Witness: I always do. Why, I watched with glee while your kings and queens fought for 10 decades for the gods they made.
President: Say what?
Witness: Never mind. Just a random recollection.
Defense: I object. What does this man know about warfare and terrorism?
Witness: May I answer, your honor?
Judge: Oh, please do. But, first, does anyone else feel warm? I wonder if the air-conditioning is broken.
Witness: Actually, I find it quite pleasant, maybe a tad chilly.
Judge: Go on, then, and tell us about what you know of fighting.
Witness: To begin with, I rode a tank and held a general's rank.
Judge: That's impressive. When was that?
Witness: When Desert Sto ... I mean, when the blitzkrieg raged.
Judge: Ah, the Good War. What do you remember best about that conflict?
Witness: Hmm. Well, the bodies stank.
Judge: Horrible, wasn't it?
Witness: Rather aromatic, I'd say.
Judge: Strange. Let's move on. You don't look old enough to have been a general 60 years ago.
Witness: Trust me, I've been around for a long, long year.
Defense: Objection. This witness hasn't been sworn in.
Judge: OK, Mr. Witness, please put your hand on the Bible and ...
Witness: I don't think that would be a good idea.
President: Hey, you some atheist or something?
Witness: Oh, I assure you, I have a personal relationship with God.
Judge: How so?
Witness: I was around when Jesus had his moment of doubt and pain.
President: You pullin' our leg?
Witness: Not at all. I'm all in favor of religion. Just look at all of the delightful holocausts and genocides and sectarian warfare -- all in the name of God. However, I get very upset when people actually start obeying the words of Jesus and Mohammed and Moses and Gotama. Then, I'm in need of some restraint.
Judge: Let's get a little more current. What do you know about conspiracies?
Witness: Let's see, I was standing on the grassy knoll in Dallas Nov. 22, 1963, and in the Los Angeles Ambassador Hotel hallway June 5, 1968. In fact, I shouted out, "Who killed the Kennedys?" But that was a ruse to deflect attention from the real culprits.

Armando Franca, Associated Press
LISBON, Portugal — The streets of downtown Lisbon are usually ablaze with Christmas lights around this time — but this year the city has put on a somber show that matches the somber mood of austerity.
The Yuletide gloom is seen across Europe's crisis-hit southern rim, as Athens and Madrid also dim the Christmas lights in a sign of how anxious countries have become about the future.
In Lisbon, the city council has cut its festivities budget to €150,000 ($200,000) from €850,000 ($1,150,000) last year, leaving main streets short on Christmas spirit.
The frugality has inspired ingenuity. Artists invited to help Lisbon look more festive have strung up multicolored umbrellas with flashing lights over busy Chile Square. Across town, passers-by are being given sparkling lapel pins to provide their own Christmas lighting.
"With more rudimentary and low budgets, we're bringing something different to make people smile," said Catarina Pestana, who designed the umbrella lights.
In Portugal, officials aren't just playing Scrooge with the Christmas decorations: The government is pocketing half of most workers' annual Christmas bonus — roughly equivalent to a month's pay — in a special one-off tax to help settle the country's crippling debts.
In Athens, which has suffered fatal riots against government austerity measures, authorities are mending their ways after the lavish spending of past years.
Municipal authorities say their outlay on Christmas and New Year will be one-tenth of last year's, at €200,000 ($270,000). That's the same as what a previous administration spent on the city's main Christmas tree, which was torched during December 2008 riots.
In struggling Spain, where the jobless rate stands at 21.5 percent, Madrid City Council has also scaled back its seasonal spending, making do with some of last year's decorations along city avenues and using fewer lightbulbs. The total cost of €2.5 million ($3.35 million) is down 15 percent from last year.
Stores in Madrid are slashing their prices by up to half to entice shoppers. Higher-end shops are feeling the pinch.
"Only one person came into the store on Saturday — three weeks before Christmas!" said antique dealer Dolores Sanchez.
There's further evidence of changing habits and expectations in Ireland, another bailout recipient. The Celtic Tiger era of lavish office Christmas parties and generous gifts for clients is out of fashion.
"Companies are embarrassed to be seen spending on parties when they're laying people off of their jobs, and that's only going to get worse in 2012," said the Rev. Sean Healy, a Catholic priest who runs an anti-poverty lobbying group called Social Justice Ireland.
That is only half the story, though. An expected pre-Christmas hike in the sales tax to a record 23 percent drove shoppers to Dublin stores before it came into force.
"Everything's only going to get more dear (expensive) in a few days, so I'm tapping out the credit card now and taking the rest of Christmas off," said Bridget Dwyer, 52, standing in a long line to pay for goods at a Dublin to store.
Overall, Christmas consumer spending in Ireland is forecast to fall by 9.4 percent this year compared with a 7.8 percent drop in Portugal, according to a recent survey by consulting firm Deloitte. But even those numbers look modest next to Greece's predicted slump of almost 25 percent.

Gus Lobel (Clint Eastwood) has been a top baseball scout for decades, but age has caught up with him. The Atlanta Braves' front office is questioning his judgment, especially with a hot batting phenom on deck for the draft. Enter Gus's estranged daughter, Mickey (Amy Adams), an ambitious attorney on the partner track who joins him on a scouting trip, jeopardizing her own career to save his. Justin Timberlake also stars as a rival scout with his sights on an announcing career – and his eyes on Mickey. Pendant plusieurs décennies, Gus Lobel (Clint Eastwood) fut l'un des meilleurs dépisteurs de talent du baseball, mais il commence à accuser son âge. Son jugement est remis en doute par la direction des Braves d'Atlanta, en particulier au sujet du frappeur le plus prometteur du pays, admissible au prochain repêchage. Mickey (Amy Adams), la fi lle de Gus avec qui il n'a jamais entretenu de forts liens, est une avocate ambitieuse promise à un poste d'associée. Risquant sa propre carrière pour sauver celle de son père, elle l'accompagne dans un voyage de recrutement. Justin Timberlake tient également la vedette dans le rôle d'un dépisteur rival qui a un oeil sur une carrière de présentateur… et l'autre sur Mickey.]]>

Gus Lobel (played by Clint Eastwood) is a scout for the Atlanta Braves and has resisted the change occurring in his business and the world around him with every fiber of his being. While his immediate superior and longtime friend Pete (played by John Goodman) values Gus's opinion and defends him against his detractors, one of them is Pete's boss and Gus's ultimate superior. That man, Pete Silver (played by Matthew Lillard) is determined to fire Gus even though he is completely unaware of Gus's failing eyesight. To Silver, a man who relies on statistics and equations over experience and first-hand observation, Gus is a relic of a time gone by. Gus is given one chance, scouting a highly-coveted player in North Carolina, to prove his value to the organization. Pete worries about his friend and so, behind his back, he contacts Gus's daughter Mickey (played by Amy Adams). Mickey is a lawyer on a partnership track in a prestigious firm with a pressing case on the horizon. She's been told that her handling of this case will determine the outcome of the upcoming partnership vote. Still, despite a strained relationship between the two of them, she chooses to go to her father's aide in rural North Carolina and work in her hotel room and over the internet. When Gus informs Mickey that his eyes are starting to fail him, she begins taking an active role in her father's scouting trip. A task she is well-suited for, after a spending a large portion of her formative years by her father's side on scouting trips.Read more ›
For a basic plot summary, "Trouble with the Curve" focuses on Gus (Eastwood), an aged baseball scout who relies on his eyes, senses, and gut feelings to scout the top prospects. The trouble is, his eyes are failing and his job is on the line. As such, Gus's friend Pete (John Goodman) is concerned about him and gives a call to Mickey (Amy Adams), Gus's daughter. Predictably, the father-daughter duo do not share a strong relationship with each, and that is tested on a road trip together to scout the newest "can't miss" prospect. Along the way, rival scout Johnny (Justin Timberlake) teaches both parts of the duo a little something about each other and their lives.
When evaluating "Trouble with the Curve", there is one thing that you must do: Absolutely DO NOT try to compare it to "Million Dollar Baby" or "Gran Torino". It's not even so much that it doesn't measure up to those movies (although it doesn't), but rather that it takes a bit of a different tone. It is a bit more light-hearted and not nearly as "life-or-death serious" as those other flicks.
When looked at under its own merits, then, "Curve" is an excellent film that does everything it sets out to do. The plot is interesting enough to keep you invested, the emotion runs high throughout, and the acting is superb.Read more ›
It's obvious that Clint Eastwood is slowing down a bit with age, but that just makes him the perfect fit here for the aging baseball scout who scouts for the Atlanta Braves but is having vision problems. Since it's hard to actually scout anything without proper vision, his estranged daughter, played by Adams, who is a hot-shot lawyer on the partner path decides to join him out on the road for his latest scouting mission.
"Trouble With The Curve" is a quiet little movie that may telegraph its pitches a bit, but for me that just added to the charm of the movie. There are no major twists and turns, just a simple and heartfelt story being told with grace. Adam's character wants to know why her dad abandoned her after her mother died when she was younger and Eastwood is reluctant to talk about it. Both characters have their flaws and both of them have been carrying demons from the past.
Justin Timberlake plays Johnny, a once hot-shot pitching phenom who was scouted by Eastwood and who then threw his arm out early in his career and is now scouting for the Red Sox in the hopes of landing a broadcasting job with the team. His character plays nicely between Eastwood and Adams, helping bridge the gap between them and as he grows closer to Adams' character helps her understand that her old man may not be the cold guy she thinks he is.Read more ›

My x has my daughter and there is a scheduled dr. appt. he can not get her back to town for this visit and is refusing to allow me to get her to her appt. does the visit take precedence over his visitation time.
my court is Shawnee county in Topeka, KS
Family Law Attorney
There are a lot of factors that could go into trying to answer this question. What kind of appointment is it? Who scheduled it and how long ago? Could it be easily rescheduled? Why was it scheduled when the child is out of town with her father? If this is a back to school check-up with her regular doctor that could be easily rescheduled, that should happen. If, on the other hand, your daughter has a condition that requires her to see a specialist, the appointments are very hard to get and this one was scheduled months ago, then the answer may be different.
Hopefully the parents can work together to resolve the issue in a way that handles the daughter's needs - her need for time with her father, her need to see the doctor, etc.
Good luck to you all.

"This is the third announcement this month from the Department of Interior regarding delays in American energy development. From withdrawing land leases in Utah, to halting offshore drilling and now oil shale, Secretary Salazar is walking away from utilizing American's energy resources to become less dependent on foreign countries. When the Interior Department says no to American-made energy, they are saying no to creating new American jobs.
"Following these announcements, companies that might have considered investing billions of their own dollars in research and development here in America, creating high-paying jobs in the process, may now look to invest their money overseas. We have more shale in oil than Saudi Arabia has oil, we have an economy in recession, and we have a law directing oil shale development – these delays are unnecessary and costly."

b/c he destroyed nokia for the sake to help his body ballmar
SAD but true! I know it's an old story but Mr. Elop has accomplished his mission: kill any other source of income that the windows-phone to tie the fate of Nokia to that of MSFT & to prepare the ground for the inevitable future acquisition by destroying all the intrinsec value of the company and the shareholders' capital. It's only a matter of time. The good news for who buyed low is that the ipo of the NSN JV is only a matter of time. I didn't want to believe it but now I think that this speculation has begun five years ago to enrich a corrupt board of directors at the expense of workers and investors. Good luck!

its exciting to visit a must to do when in los cabo...ok food but the bar makes up for it... price is ok as well
I golfed here a few years ago when it was still a public course. It was phenomenal! At that time, one of the nine holes went along or near the water, and the other nine were more in the desert. Great course layout! On one of the water holes, a mother whale was breaching time after time, teaching her baby to also do so! Nobody golfed for about 5 minutes! To top it off, on the last hole, there happened to be the most amazing sunset I have ever seen! If you can wangle a round of golf here, do it. Wonderful experience!
Amazing as a public course 10 years ago , even better as a private club. Amazing course design ,ocean views forever as you wind back into the desert and back to the ocean again. Have to be invited or be a potential property owner?
Beautiful golf course but now is private with luxury homes taking out some of the sea side golf holes.
One of the most beautiful course that I have ever played on. A must!!!

Wonderful story, great ending. The only thing that would have made it better for me, would have been if there daughter wasn't named after Katherine. All in all great job, keep writing theses great stories! :)
| AlwaysElisabethian chapter 29 . 3/18/2014
awww, I loved the ending. Cute and fluffy, tehe!
| AlwaysElisabethian chapter 27 . 3/18/2014
I do not like the "Katherine" part, but.. Well, it's your story, and since she didn't have a place in this story, it's okay :p
| AlwaysElisabethian chapter 13 . 3/18/2014
Okay, now I can slow down a bit and write a review, ahaha :P sorry, I got pretty caught up in it...
I love this. This is really not anything I had expected! Not at all! As any other Delena fan, the Stelena scenes are killing me, but it's alright you need to start somewhere to get somewhere, right?
I love that Elena is this bold, and goes after what she wants. It's great. And I love that Damon is onto the idea as well.
It's cute small scenes between them, and they're building up their relationship slowly. YOu have a great pace, and everything seems really real. I love it!
| AlwaysElisabethian chapter 1 . 3/18/2014
Hmmm, very interesting start. I like it :p can't wait to read more. Am still hoping this is a D/E story, but it's okay to start off with Stefan and Elena :p
| Guest chapter 2 . 3/13/2014
Not done this either...wow...talk about messed up! If you want out you should finish one before you start another! I can see this is going to be really messed up. (Our Elena on TVD can't ever make a decision either " I don't know how I feel" made me crazy while that was going on ). Thank heavens were way past that now! Also, no condom is scary...she should be on birth control though, especially if she's about to get married
| Guest chapter 1 . 3/13/2014
Intriguing beginning...not been in this situation,..have def been in situations where I didn't want to date/see them again but not a happy love affair then marriage proposal feeling scared...no...so she's not ready to get married or as i suspect...she's got the wrong man!(since this is a Delena story,! ;) I'm going with that choice!
| Ninaandianforever chapter 29 . 11/16/2013
One of the best stories ever. That was seriously amazing. Jeez
| sharpie78 chapter 29 . 11/10/2013
GReat story! I enjoyed every minute of it.
| sharpie78 chapter 14 . 11/9/2013
Such a dramatic swing of emotions and events in this chapter. The experience at the end is jarring. You made it much more intense than I expected. It was as really good. Thanks for this story!
| DaniTVD chapter 29 . 7/18/2013
LOVED IT! LOVED IT! LOVED IT! This is simply amazing! And, btw, I read that in less than 8 hours. I just spend the whole night reading this story! It's just so good! You're AMAZING! And you're an incredible writer! I just loved it! I'll probably read others stories made by you! xoxo
| southern grace chapter 29 . 7/5/2013
I love this story its one of the best I have read in a really long time! Everything about it was just perfect. Even the affair and death of her mom and dad was done in a way that didn't make it seem all that bad just fate happening the way its ment to. And the smutt was romantic but steamy instead of trashy and that's hard to do sometimes so job well done!
| elenasempathy chapter 29 . 6/24/2013
really really really really good fic. it was a very happy fic and i liked that. you should do a sequal to this of like random one shots or something cause this was really really good. i want to see her next kid and if he will have damons eyes (:
great story though and great writing. (: xooxo

At what weight class will you be confident a boxer can beat ANY OTHER ATHLETE 1v1
What's the lowest weight class you will feel confident with in that a boxer can take on any athlete from a TEAM SPORT in a 1v1 fight?
Obviously a Prime 6'5 Lennox or a Prime Mike Tyson will beat up any athlete from any 'team sport'. I honestly think a Prime Lewis or Vitali will kill Dwight Howard. They are super heavyweights, but what about say a MiddleWeight. Will you feel comfortable in saying 5'10 Marvin Hagler will destroy 6'10 Ben Wallace?
What about the Welterweights?

gamboa has only recently gone to 135 for the cash, and he's 30. shane made the weight by the grace of god early on in his career, and came in to the fights as a huge LW. when he went to 147 he looked like he belonged there.
he and shane are very different sizes. shane is a normal sized guy. gamboa would look like a small guy if you saw him on the street.
to answer the TS:
the pint sized fighters would have issues with the right athletes. career
BW and below would have a real hard time doing anything meaningful before they were manhandled.
do i have complete confidence in say, mikey garcia to take ben wallace?
i think that would be pretty silly.
now, roy jones is knocking ben wallace into next week

im real confident most of the top 168 pounders can handle their own vs any athlete in any sport.
160 too but not as confident. 154 and down might be too small and some other sports athletes sheer size advantage might overwhelm their skill.

I'd say MW, and would probably go as low as JMW.
Unless you are taught how to box you simply don't know how to box, most guys throw sissy slaps or really weak punches. The act of throwing a punch is very unnatural, humans weren't meant to use their fists for fighting, we've got tons of very brittle bones in our hands.
Just imagine prehistoric man fighting that have never seen a boxing match, they probably wrestled or used weapons, there was no boxing going on, probably some messed up version of ground and pound and kicking but that's it lol.

I think Chavez Jr could whip any other pro sports player in the world. He should be at 168 but he makes 160.

Would not it be useful to have the angle of attack information displayed on the flight display? I know that we have shakers that alert pilot when the critical AOA is exceeded, but still we have cases of pilots stalling the aircraft (sometimes stalling one wing more than other). I am sure designers have considered this but not chose to display AOA. I am curious what the reason could be.
Slightly off-topic, but I recently came across the "side string" which gives a direct reading of AoA. Every gilder pilot is familiar with the yaw string, but in two years of learning to fly gliders, I'd never heard anyone mention the side string.
Now, in the ultralight / open-cockpit world they use a single piece of yarn mounted on a stick, which acts as a combination yaw and side string.
Many aircraft do include them, because it's very useful.
For example a modern 737:
A Garmin G1000 (one of the more common General Aviation glass cockpits):
Specifically the part that looks a bit like this
And a more traditional analog/mechanical gauge:
The problem is that usually when someone stalls, it's because they've made a mistake - not because they can't see the AoA. Either they're disorientated, or they've made a mistake with airspeed or an obstacle and are exceeding the aircraft's performance envelope.
Typically, the lack of an AoA dial isn't the reason you stall.
It strongly depends on the aircraft we're talking about. As an example, this is the Head Up Display of an F/A-18 "Hornet":
The number near the α is the angle of attack (AoA or α) measured in degrees.
I presume that only in certain conditions knowing the exact value of the AoA may turn out to be useful (when nearing the limits maybe...). Usually, exceeding the maximum AoA is a the result of a mistake, not the mistake itself.
Fly-By-Wire systems usually do not allow the pilots to exceed the max AoA (Airbuses' Alpha Floor for instance) during normal operations.
As others have noted many aircraft do have AOA indicators. Military A/C tend to have them next to the HUD on the left side.
The advantage using AOA over stall speed is that the stall AOA is constant while the stall speed depends upon weight. Greater weights => lower stall speeds.
This difference will be important when there are large differences in A/C weights. If your F-18 has 4x2000lb bombs the stall AOA is much different depending upon whether those bombs are dropped or not.
With your average cessna, the weight change of the A/C/ does not change the stall speed significantly. An AOA indicator does not provide as much value relative to its cost and weight.

One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting
Beneath the many contrasts Pamela Druckerman draws between French and U.S. children is a deeper one between the two societies.
Sacramental or utilitarian?
Marriage After Modernity: Christian Marriage in Postmodern Times, by Adrian Thatcher
The statistics are clearly in my favor. An overwhelming majority of children adopt the religion of their parents. So I shouldn't worry. It is highly probable that my son Nathanael will grow up in some sense a Christian.
Churches' witness on the family
Despite a mounting body of research showing that high rates of divorce and out-of-wedlock births pose serious threats to the well-being of children, mainline Protestantism has had remarkably little to say in recent years about the nature, health and prospects of the family.
Neil Philip's Illustrated Book of Myths includes a story the Algonquin Indians tell, titled "Glooskap and the Wasis." Glooskap, the mightiest warrior of all, returns home after a lengthy period of conquests, only to be defeated by the mighty Wasis, a creature on the floor of his home.
Mark 9:30-37
In Mark's Gospel the antidote for a fixation on power is a little child. In chapter nine, Jesus again shares news of his pending passion with his disciples. They don't understand and are afraid to ask. Instead they argue among themselves about who is the greatest.

At first, I thought this is from ALMAP BBDO, but wait.....it's from their New York office! Same brand, same great visual and awesome art direction! Love it!
Grand Prix for Outdoor (and Gold for Art Direction, Illustration) I hope.
I love the campaign, but are agencys and the advertising world running out of ideas? In these days you have to make work of art to win awards? do really expensive photos?
These is beatiful design and art direction, is ART, but where is the IDEA? THE CONCEPT? If its this easy, we all should hire big artist to make art works based on a brand. Is that the way to make good work? Where is the minimalism, the BIG IDEA, the Humor? Its sad...
Make up your mind.
First you say it's amazing, then you say it's sad.
Anyway, this is a great campaign because it captures and showcases in a very simple way what Havaianas is about.
Minimalism, BIG IDEA, humor or whatever only make sense when they fit within the branding.
Its a great campaign, my mind is clear, but it is also example of the lack of great concepts and the overrating of the art direction in the industry rigth know.
I like great ideas better than great samples of pop art. Does it bother you?
Try to see beyond you nose. Ever heard about the BIG PCITURE? Take a look at it, man.
By the way, I really needed that branding lesson, gonna keep it in my heart!
Hey, as you, I was just speaking my mind. No need to get all personal and sarcastic dude.
I just felt I should make my point about Havaianas, a brand I'm very familiar with, as a brazilian.
Havaianas' sandals, not long ago, were worn only by poor people in Brasil.
AlmapBBDO won the client, and completely changed it's branding.
They took a bum's sandal and turned it into a freakin' fashion icon.
How they did that? Doing a campaing of artsy, "concept-less" (as you sad) ads such as this one.
Try to see beyond one ad. "Ever heard about the BIG PICTURE?"
woah. i din know that Havaianas's origin was from the poor in Brazil..so since i had just to know this truth, what i have to say is, definitely the strategy of the branding is awesome! look at how have it grown now.. look at the ads from Brazil. dman colourful. makes the ad sooooooo engaging ! seriously! im attracted to it! hehe

HOUSTON - A man and his 11-year-old son from the Austin area were among the dozens of people killed during the truck attack in Nice, France, relatives said Friday.
HUNTSVILLE — Attorneys who contended "junk science" was used to send a father to death row for killing his 2-year-old daughter 14 years ago have won a reprieve blocking the Texas inmate's execution set for next week.
Robert Roberson III, 49, was set to die Tuesday for the February 2002 death of his daughter, Nikki Curtis, at his home in Palestine in East Texas. But the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals sent his case back to his Anderson County trial court late Thursday to review claims he is innocent of capital murder.
HOUSTON - Texas' highest criminal court should consider whether the death penalty is being fairly applied and should still be constitutional, one of the nine judges on the all-Republican court wrote in a dissenting opinion issued Wednesday.
HOUSTON - New surveillance video that shows a "person of interest" in the slaying of an 11-year-old Houston boy was released Thursday, more than two weeks after the stabbing. "We have a very clear picture of this man's face," said police Sgt.
HOUSTON - An Army veteran of two Afghanistan tours who killed one person and wounded several during a weekend rampage fired 212 rounds from his military-style rifle before a SWAT officer fatally shot him, police said Tuesday.
HOUSTON - The mayor of Houston on Monday urged anyone with information about the unsolved slaying of an 11-year-old boy last week as he walked home from school to come forward.
HOUSTON - Houston police searched Wednesday for a man they are calling a suspect in the fatal stabbing of an 11-year-old boy who was walking home from school.
HUNTSVILLE — More than a year after a judge ordered Texas to divulge the source of its execution drugs, the information has not been released, legislators passed a state law protecting the prison agency from doing so, and the lengthy appeal that has allowed the provider to remain secret will finally be heard.
Texas, the nation's most active capital punishment state, will try to persuade an appeals court Wednesday to keep the Texas Department of Criminal Justice from being forced to disclose who provided the lethal drugs before Sept. 1, when the law shielding suppliers took effect.
HOUSTON — A group that served as guardian of the Alamo for more than a century said Wednesday it had prevailed over the "bureaucratic bullying" of a Texas agency with the state's acknowledgement that about 38,000 books and artifacts at an Alamo library don't belong to the state.
HOUSTON — A man on death row for 35 years for a Houston robbery where three people were shot and killed and a fourth was severely wounded has died of natural causes, Texas prison officials said Monday.

Prevention & screening
Early detection and screening
Screening tests help find some types of cancer before you have any symptoms. That means you have them even if you feel fine and you have a healthy lifestyle. They're part of your regular medical care.
If you're part of a certain age group or population in Canada, you can go for regular screening tests that can help find breast, cervical and colorectal cancer at such an early stage that you won't have noticed that anything is wrong. Some screening tests can even help prevent cancer by finding changes in your body that would become cancer if they were left untreated.
Talk to your doctor to learn more about your risk of cancer and what screening tests you should have. Be sure to mention any family history of cancer. A family history of certain cancers may mean your risk is higher than normal. Your doctor may suggest testing at an earlier age or using a different test than recommended by the provincial guidelines.
No screening test is 100% accurate, but a good screening test is one that results in a decrease in death rates in people with cancer.
Researchers also look for other benefits of screening including improved quality of life or less harmful treatments as a result of finding the cancer early.
The World Health Organization (WHO) suggests reviewing several factors before introducing a test as a screening tool for the general population. These include:
Almost every test or procedure has benefits and risks. When you think about how important it is to find cancer early, we believe the benefits of having regular screening tests for breast, cervical and colorectal cancer outweigh the risks.
But before having any test, it's important to be aware of the risks so that you're making an informed decision that's right for you.
Benefits of regular screening
Risks of regular screening
Some tests that are used for screening can also be used to diagnose or rule out cancer in people who have reported symptoms to their doctors. For example, mammograms are used both for screening women with no signs of breast cancer and helping to diagnose (or rule out) cancer in women who have signs of breast cancer.
Your doctor will be able to explain what type of test you are having and why you are having the test.
