Depression Symptoms & Treatment
What is Depression?
Clinical depression goes by many names, such as "the blues," biological depression, and major depression. But all of these names refer to the same thing: feeling sad and depressed for weeks or months on end -- not just a passing blue mood of a day or two. This feeling is most often accompanied by a sense of hopelessness, a lack of energy (or feeling "weighed down"), and taking little or no pleasure in things that once gave a person joy in the past.
Depression symptoms take many forms, and no two people's experiences are exactly alike. A person who's suffering from this disorder may not seem sad to others. They may instead complain about how they just "can't get moving," or are feeling completely unmotivated to do just about anything. Even simple things -- like getting dressed in the morning or eating at mealtime -- become large obstacles in daily life. People around them, such as their friends and family, notice the change too. Often they want to help, but just don't know how. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, depression can often start off as higher levels of anxiety in children. But today, the causes of depression still remain largely unknown.
Clinical depression is different from normal sadness -- like when you lose a loved one -- as it envelops a person in their day-to-day living. It doesn't stop after just a day or two -- it will continue on for weeks on end, interfering with the person's work or school, their relationships with others, and their ability to enjoy life and just have fun. Some people feel like a huge hole of emptiness inside when experiencing the hopelessness associated with this condition. In any given year, 7 percent of Americans will be diagnosed with this condition; women are 2 to 3 times more likely to be diagnosed than men (American Psychiatric Association).
What's Depression Feel Like?
"[If there was] certainty that an acute episode [of depression] will last only a week, a month, even a year, it would change everything. It would still be a ghastly ordeal, but the worst thing about it -- the incessant yearning for death, the compulsion toward suicide -- would drop away. But no, a limited depression, a depression with hope, is a contradiction. The experience of convulsive pain, along with the conviction that it will never end except in death -- that is the definition of a severe depression."~ George Scialabba
Can Depression Be Treated?
The short answer is yes: clinical depression is readily treated nowadays with modern antidepressant medications and short-term, goal-oriented psychotherapy. For most people, a combination of the two works best and is usually what is recommended. In more serious or treatment-resistant cases, additional treatment options may be tried (like ECT or rTMS). No matter how hopeless things may feel today, people can get better with treatment -- and most do.

TV Alright…
posted by February 25 at 20:50 PMon
This Academy Awards shit is coming down to the wire.
Hot topic of the second: How will the Academy show its penance to Scorsese after he wins? I predict a freakishly long standing O, but I'd like to see weeping and teeth-gnashing.
8:54: Helen Mirren's sequined rack makes a most gorgeous backdrop to Oscar.
9:02: Give Peter O'Toole as Oscar-shaped tombstone. Forest Whitaker gets the Oscar all sane people knew was his, hurrah.
9:06: Jesus, why don't they just have Martin Scorsese's mother give out Best Director?!
9:09: Okay, now I really want "The Departed" to win. Why not? It didn't suck! Come on!
9:10: I love that Leonardo DiCaprio has grown up into Martin Scorsese's new male muse. He hasn't been great for a while, but I'll never forget how good he was right out of the gate, in "This Boy's Life" and "Gilbert Grape".
9:13: It's anyone's guess. I'm voting "Departed."
9:14: And I'm right! I mean, I'm wrong! I picked "Little Miss Crapface"! But I'm so glad I was wrong.
9:17: And now we are done. The artistry and star-power of "The Departed" made it that rare B picture that wins Best Picture. Good for Martin Scorsese, good for Hollywood, goodnight.

Birth Control Health Center
Getting Your Tubes Tied
A Surprising Possibility
What could be causing the symptoms? According to Corson and other doctors looking into post-tubal ligation "syndrome," it may actually be a combination of discontinuing the use of birth control pills and age-related factors.
David Grimes, MD, vice president of biomedical affairs at Family Health International in Chapel Hill, N.C., and clinical professor in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, agrees. "The pill can cut the amount of menstrual bleeding by as much as half," he says. "It also reduces PMS symptoms, cramps, and irregular bleeding." Given these effects, many of the symptoms reported by women claiming to have post-tubal ligation syndrome could, in fact, be a result of coming off the pill rather than a result of the surgery. In fact, many women are put back on the pill after the surgery to control these very symptoms.
One landmark study published in 1976 in the Southern Medical Journal compared women's postsurgery menstrual cycles, taking into account their previous birth control method. They found that women who had been on the pill reported heavier bleeding, cramping, and other symptoms after the surgery; women on the IUD reported less; and women using barrier methods like diaphragms reported no change in the amount of bleeding, cramping, or other symptoms. These results have been duplicated in numerous other studies since the 1970s, Corson says.
Because of this, Corson counsels women on the pill who want to have their tubes tied to first stop taking oral contraceptives for several months to see what their periods will be like. If a woman experiences problems and decides to keep taking the pill to regulate her cycle and control other symptoms, she may not want to undergo the surgery.
Not Complication-Free
But what about Susan? What could explain her complete lack of periods following the procedure? Like all laparoscopic procedures, tubal ligation carries the risk of complications such as damage to the major blood vessels, bowel or bladder infections, or hemorrhage. While these complications arise very rarely (perhaps in two per 1,000 procedures, according to Herbert Goldfarb, MD, assistant clinical professor at the New York University of Medicine's department of obstetrics and gynecology), the patient should be aware that they can and do occur -- which is why she signs a consent form before the surgery.
"If a doctor burned too much tissue too close to the ovary, then yes, it could damage [the ovary] and shut it down," Goldfarb says. "But this would be a rare complication of the surgery, not a syndrome." Additionally, this would have to happen to both ovaries for complete menopause to set in. He points out that because of the remote possibility for complications, any woman having pain or other symptoms such as bleeding, depression, mood swings, hot flashes, or fatigue after the procedure should see her doctor right away.

What do we need to know about window tinting?
My partner and I want to get a car window tint job. We're more concerned about quality (materials, won't bubble, etc.) than price, so what do we need to look for? One well reputed company in town is offering "basic color stable film," "high performance stable film" and "CTX ceramic," in ascending order of cost, but we don't know one from the other. One company offers LLumar and another offers 3M--how do we choose? Is quality more or less proportional to cost? Look for a lifetime warranty? Is ceramic the preferred material? Any advice would be appreciated.
Can I take advantage of $40 Windows 8 if I don't have an older Windows?
I currently don't have any version of Windows installed on my PC (it's a Mac). I would like to install Windows on a Bootcamp partition. I noticed that Microsoft has a special offer where they are selling a Windows 8 download for $40 through Jan. 31. That's a good price for me. The possible catch: Microsoft seems to be saying that I need to have an earlier version of Windows installed in order to use that download. I can't quite tell whether they are serious about this. Do I really need to have a preexisting Windows install to take advantage of the $40 Windows 8 offer? [more inside]

What are these safety devices on my windows?
Our Chicago bungalow has double-hung replacement windows on the first floor. On the top sash are little latches that seem to be designed to flip open as soon as the bottom sash is lifted, preventing the window from opening more than a few inches (either as an anti-burglary or a child-safety measure). The latches seem to be malfunctioning (they spring open when the bottom sash passes them, which doesn't prevent the window from opening but rather from closing) and I want to remove or replace them, but I can't figure out what they're called.

Win7 Devices and Printers hangs up
I have a Dell laptop with Windows 7 32-bit on it and I'm having the weirdest issue with it. The "Devices and Printers" control panel window hangs every time I open it.

Voter Registration in Louisiana
Voter Registration in Louisiana
Voting is one of your most powerful civil rights, because it lets you have a say in how your government is run. But in order to have that say, you'll need to register to vote.
Voter Eligibility in Louisiana
You're eligible to vote in Louisiana if:
- You're a U.S. citizen.
- You're a Louisiana citizen and reside in the parish in which you want to vote.
- You're at least 17 years old, and will be 18 years old in time for the election.
- You haven't been deemed mentally incompetent or otherwise had your voting rights suspended under judgment.
- You're not currently incarcerated for a felony conviction.
Register to Vote in Louisiana
You can register to vote online, by mail, and in person.
You can register to vote online using the Secretary of State's Online Voter Registration (OVR) system.
Regardless of how you register, you must show some proof of identification; registering to vote online is no different. When you register online, you must provide:
- Your driver's license number or special identification card number.
- Your 4-digit audit code. *
- This code is on your driver's license or your special identification card and it's labeled "AUDIT."
- The last 4 digits of your Social Security number.
* If you don't have a driver's license or ID card (and therefore don't have an audit number,), you can continue the application online, print it, and mail it to your Registrar of Voters (see "By Mail" below).
By Mail
Register to vote by mail by completing the Louisiana Voter Registration Application (Form 100) and mailing it to the applicable address listed on the form.
You must include the last 4 digits of your Social Security number if you don't have a driver's license or ID card.
In Person
If you register in person, you can download and complete the Louisiana Voter Registration Application (Form 100) in advance or pick one up at any of the following voter registration sites:
- The Registrar of Voters office.
- Your local Office of Motor Vehicles.
- The Department of Social Services.
- Offices serving WIC, food stamps, or Medicaid clients.
- Any office serving people with disabilities, including Independent Living offices.
- Military recruitment offices.
If you register at a Registrar of Voters office, you must bring proof of age, residency, and identity. This proof can include your driver's license, birth certificate, or any other document that proves your age, residency, and identity.
Without photo identification, you can bring a document with your name and address such as a current utility bill or paycheck.
Military & Out-of-State Voter Registration
Out-of-state, overseas, and military members retaining their LA residence can register to vote via mail or online. However, there is another option for military and overseas residents (see below).
Read our "Register to Vote in Louisiana" above to learn how to register.
Military & Overseas Voters
There is an additional option for overseas and military Louisiana residents other than registering by mail or online.
You can use the Federal Voting Assistance Program's (FVAP) online assistant to fill out the Voter Registration and Absentee Ballot Request Federal Post Card Application Form (Form 76).
The FPCA serves as both registration and a request for an absentee ballot.
Deadline to Register to Vote in Louisiana
You must be registered to vote 30 days prior to Election Day. This deadline applies to military and overseas residents.
Voter Name or Address Change
You must update your name and/or address* with the Registrar of Voters. Contact your local office for details.
For name changes, be prepared to show court documents.
If you fail to update your address, you could be given an "inactive voter status"; however, you will have the chance to correct this using any of the voter registration methods described above OR at the precinct on Election Day. Just remember to bring proof of your new address.
* If you've moved outside of your parish, you must re-register with your new parish.

Amazon.com Review
In 1884, Captain Tom Dudley and his three-man crew were faced with just such a predicament. Dudley and his men were aboard the Mignonette, a small yacht they were delivering from England to Australia. Hit by a rogue wave in a storm, the Mignonette sank, leaving the four men in a 13-foot dinghy with two pounds of turnips and little else--no other food and no water--in the middle of the Atlantic. After nearly two weeks, Dudley announced they would have to resort to "the custom of the sea": drawing lots to decide who would be sacrificed and eaten to save the others. Two crewmen argued against lots, pointing out that the young cabin boy, Richard Parker, was delirious and on the verge of death. Dudley refused to kill the boy, and a few more days passed. Finally, on the 19th day adrift, Dudley killed young Parker while his crew watched. Three days later, the three survivors were rescued. Upon their return to England the three men were arrested and charged with murder.
Neil Hanson tells the story of the Mignonette and its crew in Custom of the Sea. At its best, the book reads like an adventure story along the lines of The Perfect Storm or Endurance. The story lags a bit when the survivors get entangled in the Victorian court and penal system--which is understandably a bit less gripping than the shipwreck and its ensuing survival cannibalism. It does, however, provide a fascinating window into the legal system and the power of the press in influencing public opinion.
Captain Simonsen of the Moctezuma, having rescued the Mignonette survivors, realized what they had done and tried to comfort Dudley by saying, "Desperate straits require desperate measures." Custom of the Sea does an excellent job of putting readers in a position to wonder if they too would take such desperate measures. --Sunny Delaney

Hi David,
Is this plugin compatible with the new Genesis 2.0 framework?
Thank you very much!
Hi David,
Is this plugin compatible with the new Genesis 2.0 framework?
Thank you very much!
@Marc Tibesar:
Hi Marc!
Sorry for delay!
Currently not with HTML5 -- but it IS compatible with Genesis 2.0, if you're using a XHTML child theme.
However, I will of course add full HTML5 support! :) Due to other projects I have some delay in releasing the update which will bring native support for Genesis 2.0 and its HTML5 feature.
I hope to push out the plugin update this week!
Thanks, Dave :)
Ok that is great!
I have quite a few of your plugins so I would really appreciate your labeling them as 'Fully Genesis 2.0/HTML5' or something like that so that it is clear which version of Genesis the plugin is targeted for.
Thanks again for all the great plugins!!!!
Hi Marc!
As you see, new update is live for a few days already, enjoy it! :)
Thanks, Dave :)
I use HTML5, and when I go the the widgets I can see them, but nothing inside of them. I'm using the latest version of Genesis.
Ok, I got it :) I have to put widgets in there myself.
Ah great you got it :)
Thanks Dave.

John Headlee Cemetery Plot
Hello, and thank you in advance for any assistance you can give. I am trying to locate the Headlee Cemetery where a young John Headlee is buried. You added information on those buried there; John Headlee was born in 1857 and died in 1859. The cemetery is located per your description about 1.5 miles to the NW of the Shannon Run Church outside of Mt. Morris. I live in Waynesburg, and drove to Mt. Morris via Mt. Morris Road. I drove past the Rising Creek Café and made the first right over the bridge and onto Big Shannon Run Road, and located an old church on the right on a hill overlooking Big Shannon Run Road, a church no longer used. I drove for 1.5 miles and even longer, but did not see a cemetery. I wonder if there is a Shannon Run Road, and me being on Big Shannon Run Road is the wrong road. Any help on directions you can give me is greatly appreciated. I could even meet you at Belko's in Mt. Morris and follow you to the cemetery. Thank you. Sincerely, Patrick Fitch

Stonington - For the past five years the space in the Pawcatuck Shopping Center that last housed a Stop & Shop has sat vacant as the supermarket chain moved to its new location on Route 2.
While some residents wanted to see a Trader Joe's or Whole Foods open there, Stop & Shop held the lease and was not willing to see another grocery store open a few miles from its new store.
But now there is a tenant for the space as Bill Kane of Stonington, who owns Workout World/Renegade Sports locations in Waterford, Groton, Norwich and New London is seeking a permit to renovate the space into a Renegade Sports Center.
Kane, who could not be reached for comment Sunday, had been in the store earlier this winter with an architect looking at design options. He declined to discuss his plans publicly at that point. On Sunday, brown paper and two murals of people working out blocked the large windows that look into the store.
On Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Mystic Middle School, the Planning and Zoning Commission will consider a request by Kane for a zoning permit to change the use of the space from retail to personal services. The use is allowed in the GC-60 zone where the building is located.
The gym would operate from 4:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., with three to seven employees at any one time. No changes to the site are planned. A floor plan shows a lobby, offices and areas for exercise machines, free weights, spinning, bleachers, personal training, classes, tanning, locker rooms and saunas.
Because Kane is seeking a zoning permit from the commission it is an administrative decision that does not require a public hearing.
On his Facebook page Friday, First Selectman Ed Haberek called the business an "exciting addition to the town."
He said it has been a pleasure meeting and working with Kane to revitalize the longtime vacant location. Haberek had criticized Stop & Shop in the past for its efforts to stop a grocery store from moving into the location.
Last week, Heather Bessette, who owns I Can Fitness, posted her concerns about the impact of Kane's plans on her Facebook page saying it was not good news for her 18-year-old small business on Route 1 or the Ocean Community YMCA which has branches in Mystic and Westerly.
She urged people to "support local not chains!"
Haberek responded, saying Kane is local.
"Secondly, the YMCA has priced itself out of the market for locals. Believe me I know," posted Haberek, who frequents several local gyms.

Generations and Gadgets
While many tech devices have become popular across generations, Millennials are by far the most likely group not only to own most gadgets, but also to take advantage of a wider range of functions on those devices.
Accessing Health Topics on the Internet
Health information remains one of the most important subjects that internet users research online. The Pew Internet Project and California HealthCare Foundation have added eight new topics — including food safety, drug safety, and pregnancy information — to their national survey measuring internet users' interest in health information.
Social Side of the Internet
The internet is having a wide-ranging impact on Americans' engagement with civic, social and religious organizations, as groups and their members use digital tools — such as Facebook and Twitter — to bind themselves together and pursue goals.
Internet Gains on Television as Public's Main News Source
Television remains the most widely used source for news, but it is less popular among all age groups. More people continue to cite the internet than newspapers as their main source of news, and for the first time, online news has surpassed TV news among young adults.
Cash for Content Online
Nearly two-thirds of internet users have paid to download or access online content, ranging from music to games to news articles.
How accurate are online polls?
Senior research staff answer questions from readers relating to all the areas covered by our seven projects, ranging from polling techniques and findings, to media, technology, religious, demographic and global attitudes trends.
Generations Online in 2010
Even in online pursuits still dominated by Millennials — such as social networking use — older generations are making notable gains.
Gadget Ownership
The cell phone — by a wide margin — is the most commonly owned piece of personal technology. Three-quarters of the public own a computer and nearly half own an mp3 player, while e-books remain a niche item. The average adult owns three of the seven gadgets asked about in the survey.
Video Calling and Video Chat
Almost a fifth of American adults (19%) have tried video calling either online or via their cell phones. This translates into nearly a quarter (23%) of internet users and 7% of cell-phone owners who have participated in video calls, chats or teleconferences.
Attention Shoppers: Online Product Research
Nearly six-in-ten adults have done research online about the products and services they buy, and about a quarter have posted comments or reviews online about the things they buy.

Overtraining is an imbalance between training and recovery. Short term overtraining or 'over-reaching' is reversible within days to weeks. Fatigue accompanied by a number of physical and psychological symptoms in the athlete is an indication of 'stateness' or 'overtraining syndrome'. Staleness is a dysfunction of the neuroendocrine system, localised at hypothalamic level. Staleness may occur when physical and emotional stress exceeds the individual coping capacity. However, the precise mechanism has yet to be established. Clinically the syndrome can be divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic types, based upon the predominance of sympathetic or parasympathetic activity, respectively. The syndrome and its clinical manifestation can be explained as a stress response. At present, no sensitive and specific tests are available to prevent or diagnose overtraining. The diagnosis is based on the medical history and the clinical presentation. Complete recovery may take weeks to months.

BORGER - The soccer season ended Friday for the Borger Lady Bulldogs. But they have a story that will live forever.
Freshman Melissa Hansen worked her way into the starting lineup as Borger's right outside midfielder, and that in itself is a story. But as they say, there's another story behind the story.
Hansen did so with another challenge: a diagnosis of chronic myelogenous leukemia less than two months before the season began in January.
"She has been truly amazing," Borger coach Donna Milner said. "She hasn't missed a workout and never has complained."
Twice a day, Hansen takes four pills that provide an alternative to traditional chemotherapy.
"That is my chemo," she said. "They want to keep upping my dosage until they think it's gone. They're not sure how long that will take."
The potent pills initially made her bones and joints ache as if she had arthritis, she said. They also affected her concentration and sometimes made her nauseous. Those side effects have abated as the weeks have passed.
The possibility of seeking a more dramatic bone marrow transplant has been ruled out.
Doctors do not know how she contracted a form of cancer that most often afflicts men over 50 years of age. CML is neither hereditary nor caused by a virus.
"It was just there one day," Hansen said with a shrug. She is hoping that she is part of the 80 percent of people who are cured by treatment.
As leukemia goes, Hansen said, she has a form that is beatable. How long the battle will take is not known because treating a 15-year-old girl for CML is rare.
But what Hansen did know is she wanted to keep playing soccer. Although she has been able to play an entire 80-minute game, she is not as fast on the field as when healthy.
And she has to play with care. She has an IV port in her upper left chest that must be protected - a direct hit in that area could dislodge the port and move it toward her heart.
'A Bad Case of Allergies'
Soccer brought Hansen to Borger. Born in the Dallas area and raised in Stinnett, she moved 12 miles south to Borger about three years ago to play. She played in a countywide recreational league and also with the Drifters club program in Amarillo. She developed skills impressive enough to play on the varsity and then to start under Milner, Borger's first-year coach.
A week ago, Caprock, bound for the playoffs, had to fight off Borger to win, 2-1. Hansen sent a shot toward the net in the final minute that could have tied the game but spun just wide.
Scoring a big-time goal wasn't a concern in mid-November. Hansen, who has asthma, was having an unusually difficult time last fall with her health. At first, acid reflux was suspected. Then mononucleosis.
"I just kept getting sick," Hansen said. "My chest hurt, and I was always tired. It was like a bad case of allergies."
Further examination showed her spleen was "the size of a football," she said. A healthy spleen in an adult is about 5 to 6 inches long and about 2 inches wide.
The form of leukemia rarely found in teenagers was diagnosed and treatment began. Hansen was taken out of school and, when she was able, began making up her schoolwork. But she was not practicing soccer.
Hansen returned to classes for the spring term and started right in with soccer. Lacking stamina, she played about half of the first game.
"My mom and dad were very nervous. My mom asked me, 'Are you sure you want to play?' " she said, smiling. "I was sure."
Back To School, Soccer
Becky Paulson, Melissa's mother, said she didn't think her daughter could handle the combination of treatments and athletics. But the day Hansen was released to return to school, she was on the soccer field, Paulson said.
"Thankfully, her coach gave her a chance to play," Paulson said. "She wasn't there for tryouts."
Hansen said her first varsity game was "a little scary ... and really cold," she said.
Hansen said her teammates have been supportive of her but haven't coddled her. Care is taken not to drill kicks at Hansen to force her to stop the ball with her chest. Otherwise it's soccer as usual. That makes Hansen feel better about her role on the team, she said.
Milner said her freckled freshman has improved her game during the season despite the physical challenges. She has learned how to work the middle of the field and be ready in an instant to switch to offense or defense.
"She worked hard. She has an important position," Milner said. "When she had to come off the (practice) field because she couldn't run, she'd be in tears. Some girls wouldn't care about not giving 100 percent. She has been one of those dedicated, committed players."
Hansen, who missed a couple of games because of doctor appointments and must get a weekly checkup, is disappointed Borger's season has ended.
The Lady Bulldogs (2-5-2 in District 3-4A entering Friday's finale against Canyon) will graduate three seniors, but scoring threats Logan Lane and Kellie Free will be back next year. Hansen realizes she is part of the team's future.
Her near future includes coaching and officiating youth recreation teams. She hopes to play soccer in college, she said.
By then, her leukemia could be a thing of the past.

I am really thinking about leaving my husband. I dont know if it was be for good for just a break but I cant take it anymore. Im sick of having to do EVERYTHING. I do laundry, dishes, clean, take care of our 2 month old, go to school full time, make sure the bills are paid. I just cant do it. Taking care of a 2 month old is hard enough for a FTM. He works 40 hrs a week on 3rd shift and comes home and sleeps and thats all he does. Yes Im thankful he works but come on now, do something else other than sleep. I sleep maybe 4 hrs a night and expected to do everything else. Im going through enough with issues with my father and thats taking a toll on me and now I feel like im slipping into depression again. I am going to call my dr on monday and honestly going to call a counselor for my personal use. I just cant handle it. Thankfully my mom opened her door for me if I need to come home. All I want to do is cry, but I have to stay strong for my daughter.
Im ready to leave_vent

it sounds like maybe you need to structure your lives. talk with your husband and decide on a break time for you every day where he takes the baby for a few hrs and you do what you need to do for you. If he will not agree to help out by all means take a break at your mom's and then revisit the issue in a few days or so. Also make sure to get on meds for depression before it is critical and you are already under depression as the meds do take about 30 days to take full effect.

I have tried talking with him a hundred times, its no hope, he gets mad when I ask to watch her to run to the store thats 1 minute down the road. All he wants to do is sleep, I keep telling him hes a parent now sleep isnt in our vocabulary haha. I told him today Im packing mine and my daughters stuff and leaving for a few days. He didnt have anything to say. I mean we dont fight we just bicker and argue, I dont find yelling at eachother helpful so I avoid at least that

Keep holding on.....the older the baby gets..the easier it will get.
I would not advise going home. These are some of the "worse" that are in our vows "for better or worse." I personally find that distance doesn't make things better when a couple is going through a rough patch.
Mom to Mikkel Josiah and Chayse Jordane
I've been right where you are. And I understand where you are struggling. But he may be as well. Considering alls he wants to do is sleep that may be his coping mechanism. This is a major adjustment for both of you. And working 3rd shift is hard enough. I know when DH worked off hours he tended to have a very bleck outlook on life. It was hard on him. I was taking care of our oldest daughter who was 3 at the time, 24/7. Taking care of the house, making sure everything was being paid, after moving to Alaska in the winter time. It was REALLY hard on me. It took a lot of talking to get down to it. But I agree with a PP saying in something like this distance doesn't make the situation better. It could actually make it worse. If he's struggling like you are, it may just be easier for him to "write it off" instead of dealing with it. I don't mean sit there a nag him. But maybe approach it in the context of asking him how he's doing with all of this. Bring home a new baby is a HUGE adjustment for everyone involved. And us as mothers are more equiped to hunker down and take on the weight of the world till we want to break and think that the dads have it so easy. Men just aren't as emotional or forthcoming with their feelings or fears as we are. I say it's a good idea to talk to the DR about how your dealing with your feelings. But don't just pack up and leave... even for a break. It could do more damage then good. Good luck.
~Dennis & Nichole~ Parents to a couple of AF Brats! Cierra(10/10/01) Kaydence(07/08/09) Lyndsay(8/16/10)
well, here is my advice...WAIT..unless he is physically abusing you or something serious like that. not saying that what you are going through ISN'T serious, i'm just saying. it takes men alot longer to adjust to this whole baby thing than it does us. i left my now ex-husband when my DS was 10 months old, he was basically the man you just described. i had to do everything. i left and he suddenly became father of the year, he is the best daddy, doesn't everything he needs to, provides everything, plays with him, they go fishing...he gets him 50/50, not because of courts, we decided on our own. i believe my son deserves just as much time with his daddy as me, i will never take him away from him. with that being said, sit down with hubby, talk to him about ALL of your concerns. tell him you are thinking of leaving if things don't change. tell him you won't settle for this for long, and he needs to make some adjustments. also let him know that if you leave there will be times he will have to DO IT ALL when he has the baby if he wants to be a good father, he will no longer have a servant if you leave. so to put it into perspective for him, go away for several hours and let him stay with baby. i'd say at least 4-5 hrs at a time. and tell him to clean up and do at least one load of laundry while you're gone. a different day, sent him with a full grocery list and make him take the baby along. LOL. he should straighten up. this time around with current dh he's shown a few of these behaviors, but i've taught him quite a few lessons thus far. haha.
I think we are all experiencing different degrees of stress and as a PP said, waiting a bit is key. Our new babies will sleep better and give us some more "relax" time...taht´s whati´m looking forward to.
RIP Angel Moms & Babies
Mommy to Baby Marco 8/4/10
that's normal its called being married haha most men i know don't do much around the house
its just hard because he use to do alot around the house with helping me clean, and when we moved in april it all changed, not when I first became pregnant or when we got married or when baby came, just when we moved which I dont know why. i guess this weekend it will be a long weekend of talking and getting crap straightened out with us because I really cant take it much longer and I wll "threaten" to leave.

UPDATE: This story was updated at 8:42 p.m. on Thursday.
Parents asked tough questions at a public meeting in Ozark on Thursday evening after the Alabama State Board of Education came in front of the school board to say they are proposing to close the All-Kindergarten School next year.
The closures come from dropping enrollment and you guessed it, state budget cuts.
They are questioning how practical it is to keep the school open in light of the costs of operation. Enrollment has dropped 99 percent in 2011 to 78 percent this year. The school has cut staff from 18 to 14 in the last three years because the state is only able to pay for a certain number of employees at each school.
If the Thompkins Center does close, the kindergarten students will go to Lisenby and Mixon. It is a merger teachers say the kids may not be prepared for.
"We feel as though if we were kind of immersed in another environment, we have a great thing going and that may be lost," said Kristen Green.
The one thing that board members, teachers and parents all agree on is that the final decision has to be about what is best for the children.
The Alabama State Department of Education recommends to the Ozark Board of Education to close the Thompkins Early Childhood Center in Ozark. They blame budget cuts and declining enrollment.
Tune in at 9 for a full report.

Lake Metroparks Farmpark's mission is to help our urban society understand how farmers raise food, fiber, and other products that sustain and enhance human life. To fulfill this vision, Lake Metroparks Farmpark maintains a collection of livestock including equine, bovine, caprine, porcine, ovine, and avian individuals. Sustaining a suitable group of animals to meet exhibit and program needs is the goal of the Animal Care and Interpretation Department.
Lake Metroparks Farmpark's College Internship Program works with students to develop animal care and handling techniques as well as routine care procedures. Staff will work with interns to meet specific curriculum requirements for college credit.
Interns will be scheduled depending on time required to meet interns curriculum needs, availability of staff, and timing of animal care tasks. Hours will vary and, as animal care is a 24/7 responsibility, may include weekends and/or holidays. This is an unpaid internship and on-site housing is not available.

Claudia Kapp, founder of Frome-based burlesque clothing retailer Deadly is the Female, explains how her business attracts punters
"I went to fashion college in London and while there I did work experience at an alternative fashion company. I ended up working there for five years. Later I visited Frome in Somerset, fell in love with the place and decided I wanted to open my own shop there.
"There was a shop vacant on a lovely street of independent shops, so my husband and I decided to set up a business. We quit our jobs and opened the shop in November 2008.
"I noticed that burlesque and vintage fashion had become more and more popular, in the mainstream as well as the alternative market. I also knew that a lot of people were fed up of the generic high street shops.
"Other shop owners in Frome gave me phone numbers for local journalists and one newspaper wrote an article about my shop opening. Our first customer actually came in the day before I opened, while I was doing the window display. She ended up buying a dress and has since made purchases through our online shop too.
"Because the shop is called Deadly is the Female, people are curious about what it is. My window displays are quite creative, so that also gets people's attention. I borrowed some accessories made out of road kill and did a display based on those a few months after I opened, and the whole town was talking about it. I change the overall scene monthly, but I change the clothes within it much more often.
"I started my website about the same time as the shop and I had a MySpace page. Now I also have a Facebook page which has lots of fans. I'd had a bit of experience with online marketing, because I led the Google Adwords campaign at the company I used to work for and I had SEO training.
"I designed my original website, but my new one has been designed by Allie from Manage my Website, which I'm really excited about. She reminded me how important things such as blogging and my Facebook page are. I've been doing more of that lately, and it's made a massive difference to my online sales. I also send out e-newsletters to customer contacts.
"Hiring someone to advise you on start up marketing is a good investment, but finding someone who really understands your business is important.
"Some local people were scandalised to begin with, because the name of my shop makes it look a lot naughtier than it is. But it helped to develop a bit of a buzz about my business.
"When we are in the shop we make sure we are wearing clothes from the right era. I have a dog called Gomez who sits in the doorway and when people see him around town they recognise him before they recognise me.
"I've learnt to be more picky about advertising. About a year after I opened I put a small ad in with a 10% off voucher and I only got two back.
"The shop was my main focus for the first year, but now I'm looking at expanding the website, because that has a much wider potential customer base."

The College Hill Independent covered the publication of the 30th issue of Mothers News in November, 2012, interviewing editor Jacob Khepler.[4] In the interview, Khepler commented on his hope for the newspaper, saying, "I want the newspaper to be a bit of a beacon for 'I'm just doing my thing and it's working. I trust myself. And my eyes are open to possibility, to failure, to change. And you could do the same thing.'"
Space1026 Gallery in Philadelphia, PA held a Mothers News art show in September 2012, showcasing work from the paper.[5]
Mothers News was an official exhibitor at the 2011 Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival,[6] a featured speaker and exhibitor at the 2013 Baltimore Publications and Multiples Fair,[7] and a special guest at the Rhode Island Independent Publishing Expo[8]

Mothers News includes articles on philosophy, religion, arts, culture, music, and more. The paper includes a street fashion column and a comic section, featuring monthly comics from several notable comic artists, including Brian Chippendale, Christopher Forgues, Michael Deforge,[9] Charles Forsman [10] and others.[11]
Back issues of the first three years of Mothers News are viewable online via archive.org.
In Other Media[edit]

Comic strips from Mothers News appeared in the exhibition "Comics" by CF, at Beginnings—Gallery in New York City NY.[12]

Gorj is a judet (county) in the province of Oltenia in Romania. Traditionally, it is part of Wallachia, the former principality that was ruled by Prince Vlad Tepes, known as The Impaler. He was the model for Bram Stoker's greatest literary creation, Count Dracula. The main urban center in Gorj is the city of Targu Jiu, with a population of about 98,000. Targu Jiu is an industrial town that dates back to the 15th century. During World War II there was a concentration camp here for Romanian Jews. Today people come to discount hotels in Gorj's main city to see the world famous Brancusi Sculptures.
Constantin Brancusi (1876 – 1957) lived in Targu Jiu as a boy. In 1937 he was commissioned to create a memorial to the Romanian heroes of the Great War (WWI). He completed four major works: The Table of Silence, The Gate of the Kiss, Chair's Alley, and The Endless Column. These works are now the main tourist attraction in Targu Jiu. However you can also visit the Art Museum and the Gorj County Museum. There is a statue of Brancusi in front of the Elvira Godeanu Drama Theater. You can see Brancusi's birthplace in the village of Hobita. In the village of Tismana you can see a 14th century monastery that is built right into a cliff face. See the listings at EasyToBook.com for information on cheap hotels in Gorj.

It has been a year since joining the Frugal Village forums and living a frugal lifestyle. I have learned a lot and developed many frugal habits. My husband has also changed his spending habits. Our debt has significantly been reduced in the past year by reducing our spending and using the savings to pay off debt. We continue to snowball payments. As of today we have just one loan left as we paid off another loan. I am grateful for the inspiration the members of this forum have given me. Thank you.
Since moving from a hotel(extended stay) and signing a year lease we are enjoying the additional space. Slowly getting organized just a few boxes each day. We had also used a lot of my stockpile but I am still working on it. I probably have 10 boxes of food. We are also continuing to use the vitamins and other household items. Shopping for a car hopefully we can find a great deal. Want to get one before we have to get one, just to take the pressure of hunting without a backup car. I am gearing

Back home safe after 22 hours on the road. We just missed the freezing rain and snow on our route. Our friends weren't so lucky. They took off for Wisconsin 45 minutes later than us and needed to stop and get a hotel for the night because of the road conditions. We saved on hotel stays coming and going.
In summary, we spent less than 1/2 of what we have spent on past vacations. I slept in everyday until 8 or 9 a.m., my usual rising time is 5 a.m. We ate all but 2 meals from pantry of
Another uneventful day except for church and we asked friends out for supper to thank them for their hospitality this week. We went to a seafood restaurant. They refused to let us pay their share of the bill because of the prices. We couldn't talk them into letting us buy so we saved $$. Otherwise no spend for me today.
I am so ready to start on our way back to Wisconsin tomorrow. I miss home, I miss my grown kids, I miss our dog, I even miss my work. I have appreciated the ability

Alone won the overall individual competition, scoring highest in Most Shocking and Disturbing Revelation of the Year – in his case for alleged abuse of boys.
Dozens of lesser-known rabbis in the US, Canada and Israel tied for second in the fiercely contested category.
Rabbi Booshaw N. Chleemaw, chairman of the inaugural games, explained that he and his colleagues around the world felt that rabbinic scandals had become "so pervasive, sophisticated and significant" in recent years that they
deserved full-scale treatment through direct competition at an international event, with global media attention.
"This is proof that we've made it," Rabbi Chleemaw declared at a moving ceremony in which a track-suited rabbi, sprinting with a torch, set fire to a copy of The Ethics of the Fathers as thousands cheered.
An NBC official explained that the network was thrilled to televise the event because "rabbis in beards make for the best TV images."
Rabbi Leib Tripper of Team USA, who until last week was thought to be a shoo-in for the top gold prize, expressed disappointment at the outcome.
"I was already deciding where to put the gold trophy," he acknowledged, "either on my shtender near the Western Wall of my shul, or at home on the desk of my phone sex room.
"After all," he reasoned, "I thought to myself, `who could top a holier-than-thou rabbi like me, who once annulled a woman's conversion after learning that she wore pants, and then is – you should excuse the expression – exposed for coercing potential converts to have sex with other people.'"
Rabbi Tripper said that despite his dismay at being bested by an underdog, he was proud to be taking home top honors in the always-competitive Hypocrite of the Year Award.
Rabbi Milton "The Brooklyn Bundler Bungler" Bulkitup of Brooklyn, came in first in the High Wire Fraud competition for his bold performance last week, exhorting and extorting a wealthy businessman to give his all to several local yeshivas.
"It's a tale of the tape," he said, on learning that his conversations with a federal official had been recorded.
Another media favorite, and at 87 the oldest competitor in these winter games, Rabbi Saul Cashin, representing Syria, Persia and Team USA, took home the top honors in the less than graceful Dancing On Thin Ice competition.
Although he was not the top vote getter for his performance in many categories, the rabbi from Let'sMakeADeal, NJ, finished first because he received ten percent of all the judges' votes.
"It adds up," a devotee of the press-shy rabbi noted.
Tonight's televised events include Chasidic side curling, bubbesledding, the chas v'Slalom, freestyle schnorring, cross-country schnorring, speed shtupping and men's hocking.

LUXOR, Egypt (AP) - A barge has leaked some 100 tons of gasoline
into the Nile River in southern Egypt after it became partially
submerged while workers unloaded its cargo.
The vessel docked Saturday in Aswan, about 700 miles (1,100
kilometers) south of Cairo, when part of the barge sank below the
surface and began spewing gasoline into the river. The leak has
since been stopped.
Officials in three southern Egyptian provinces have declared a
state of emergency to contain the spill and to prevent it from
spreading down river.
The barge belongs to the Nile Company for River Transport.
Officials say it was carrying 244 tons of gasoline.
The chief of the Luxor drinking water company urged people to
stockpile water in case the spill reaches the city's water
purification facilities.

I am working with a variety of pages that can go 5 layers deep, We decided to break it down into sections and use three different navigations. As you can imagine this starts to get trick, I am looking for a dynamic way to create a navigation per second level page and another for third level.
What I do have is a script I wrote using wp_get_list and it works great YET it works off the current page's ID and checks if theres a parent and always displays the correct info UNLESS you are deeper then the two levels then it shows one above it.
- Example using Slugs: domain.com/services/type/info/
- If I select on the main nav 'services' which is already made, I need it to show the different 'types' under services in the second navigation and all the 'info' for that 'type' on the third navigation (remember these are pages parented).
So What I am Asking: Is there a way to find the second highest parent of the current page as a selector so I can just get_list off the ID? Also do that same thing for the 3rd parent?
If I am on: domain.com/services/type/info/asdf/woot - I need the ID for /services/ always or whatever is in that first slot, also need the ID for /type/ or whats in that slot
...is that possible?

Confirmed: Geoff Johns Is the New President of DC Entertainment
Comic Books, Film, TV
It's time once again for our monthly trip through Previews looking for cool, new comics — now with 100 percent more JK Parkin! Michael May, Graeme McMillan, Chris Arrant and JK have each picked the five comics they're most anticipating in order to create a Top 20 (or so; we overlap sometimes) of the best new stuff coming out two months from now.
As usual, please feel free to play along in the comments. Tell us what we missed that you're looking forward to or – if you're a comics creator – mention your own stuff.
John Parkin
47 Ronin #1 (Dark Horse, $3.99): Mike Richardson, Dark Horse's head honcho, teams with Usagi Yojimbo creator Stan Sakai to retell the story of the 47 ronin who avenged their master after he was forced to commit ritual suicide for assaulting a court official. It will be both very cool and a little odd to see Sakai drawing samurai that aren't anthropomorphic animals and aren't in black and white (the book's full color), but I've always admired his clean style. As an added bonus, Kazuo Koike of Lone Wolf and Cub fame consulted on the project, so this should be a treat.
Great Pacific #1 (Image Comics, $2.99): Joe Harris and Martin Morazzo have come up with a book that I just love the high concept behind: the heir to one of America's most successful oil companies moves to the infamous Great Pacific Garbage Patch and declares it a sovereign country. He then fights giant sea monsters, based on the preview art that's been released, which is an added bonus.
Marvel NOW!: This might be cheating, but Marvel has 10 new comics debuting in November under the Marvel NOW! banner. Mark Waid on Hulk? John Romita on Captain America? Matt Fraction writing Fantastic Four and FF? Jonathan Hickman on Avengers? Yeah, I'll just lump all these together and hope no one notices I'm gaming the system here …
Walt Disney's Donald Duck: A Christmas for Shacktown: Fantagraphics continues its series of high-end collections of the best of Carl Barks' duck stories, with the Christmas-themed third volume arriving just in time to be stuffed in somebody's stocking.
Retrovirus (Image Comics, $16.99): Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray's latest graphic novel, drawn by Norberto Fernandez, is about a research scientist who specializes in viruses heading to Antarctica to examine a perfectly preserved caveman. I'm a fan of Palmiotti and Gray's work together, from Jonah Hex to The Monolith (which gets the collection treatment in November), and this one sounds like it could be a lot of fun.
The fundraising website Kickstarter is fast becoming a vital conduit for creators (and some publishers) to secure funding to publish comics. And comics vet Jimmy Palmiotti has taken to this new paradigm with aplomb, using it last year to fund his Image graphic novel Queen Crab with artist Artiz Eiguren. And now the Marvel Knights co-founder is returning with an even more ambitious project: a graphic novel titled Retrovirus with longtime co-writer Justin Gray and artist Norberto Fernandez.
In my mind, Retrovirus is Encino Man meets Jurassic Park – dredge out the humor and fill it in with drama, intrigue and horror. The book follows a young viralogist named Zoe who takes a job at a research facility in Antarctica. Her new employers have found a neanderthal, perfectly frozen in ice and waiting for research to begin. Zoe's brought in for her specialty in extinct virus, and her subject turns out to be a treasure trove but also a trap door into a dangerous future where a long extinct virus breaks fee into an unsuspecting modern population.
The Retrovirus team set a goal of $11,600 to fund the production of 58-page graphic novella, and with 25 days to go they've already accumulated over 80 percent of that goal. The lowest donation earns you a PDF copy of the book, with the premium pledge, $400, earning a character named after you. Nearly 200 people have backed the project at this point, including a number of comic professionals like Andy Lanning, Paul Mounts, Andy Smith and Alex de Campi.

Spin Me Right Round
July 11, 2003
Tiny rotary motors made of spinning molecules hold the promise of driving microscopic devices of the future. But so far, scientists have had a difficult time controlling which direction tiny artificial cogs spin. New interlocking rings designed by a team of researchers may solve that problem, bringing the vision of clockwork machinery on a molecular scale one step closer to reality.
UV laser bursts could easily make the rings… read more

A monument was dedicated to veterans, active and fallen of the Gulf War, Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.
While the crowd gathered at 10 a.m. to see the structure on Oak Street, it was the stories within the stone that represent Veteran's Day.
Some of those stories were about loss.
Jennifer Turner, of Red Bluff, lost her husband, Army Sgt. Thomas Turner Jr. in 2006 while he was serving in Iraq.
She spoke to the crowd at the dedication, thanking the community for their support.
"He deserves it so much, just as all the other names and the soldiers that are displayed on this monument," said Turner.
The dedication was about thanking those who have served.
"We're humbled for all veterans past and present," said several members of the Tehama County Marine Corps League.
The ceremony was also about teaching others, as little brother Joe Knickerbocker watched his sister, Sgt. Lela Martinez, play Taps before the crowd.
"I want him to know where his freedom comes from. I want him to appreciate where he lives and the sacrifices that come with it," said Martinez.
Eight-year-old Knickerbocker said he's proud to watch his older sister.
"I feel like she's very, very honored."
Martinez said the monument shows every day service members sacrifice for our country.
"Freedom is still being fought for, even in the modern day. It's something we will continue to protect."
If you would like to see the monument it's located at 727 Oak Street between the Tehama County Administration building the Red Bluff Veterans Hall.
