Facing time management issues in my life, I have been rationing reality shows like they're candies from the commissary. That's an Orange is the New Black reference for you, but alas, we're not here to discuss great drama of the scripted variety. While VH1 and MTV shows are things of my past, one guilty pleasure I refuse to eschew is Vanderpump Rules. Admittedly, it is a highly inappropriate program for a woman of my age. The show follows the lives and - dare I say it - the "trials and tribulations" (aka drama, drama, drama) of those born around the year that I graduated elementary school (1988).
That would include Stassi Schroeder, Queen Bee in the first two seasons, who is showing promise with a serious relationship when Season 3 begins (November 3rd) along with a no-nonsense outlook on social situations.

In the religions of the world cross - one of the symbols of faith, but the types of crosses quite a lot.
The most common form - an eight.
It is believed that on this cross Jesus was crucified.
The eight-pointed cross consists of a vertical component, and three bars. The top two lines, and the bottom - skew.
There is a theory that says that the top part of the crossbar Orthodox cross facing north, and the bottom - in the south. By the way, this way and set the cross today.
Why the lower cross beam slanting, hardlywill be able to explain even the theologians. The answer to this question is still not found. There are many versions, each of which reflects a certain idea and confirmed often convincing arguments. But, unfortunately, accurate evidence of any version at the moment no.
Versions based on biblical legends
Variants of why is it that the lower horizontal bar of the cross oblique, diverse. Consumer version of this explains the fact that Jesus stumbled on foot, so it's twisted.
Also there is a possibility that the upper part of the lower rungs of the Orthodox cross points the way to Paradise, and the lower Hell.
Also common version of that afterComing of Jesus Christ in the world was out of balance between good and evil, all people are sinners previously started their way to the light, and it is this imbalance and shows skew the crossbar.
Versions household
More than just looks plausible version thatthat the lower beam - is a symbolic image of this special kick to stop a man who was subjected to crucifixion. Previously, this form of punishment was extended. Man was crucified, but in the absence of support it is likely that under its own weight people just fell down from the cross, as his weight hands and feet nailed to the cross, just exploded. That's just to maintain a person in a hanging position, in order to prolong his agony, and was invented by this stand, which is reflected symbolically in the orthodox eight-pointed cross. On the average, as indicated in some sources, time to death in such a penalty was approximately 24-30 hours.
There is also a variant in the literature that the lowerbeam only conditionally designated as oblique. In fact, this is only a schematic representation of the volume figures in the two-dimensional plane. And in fact, the bar surface was still flat.
Which are all the same version of the proposed trust, it seems that everyone choose to, because after so many years, the truth is unlikely to be someone open.

The weekend before Monday's induction had arrived and time ticked by ever so slowly. We enjoyed the time we spent with the birthmother, and tried to learn more about her as we hopped from restaurant to restaurant and tourist trap to tourist trap. Do you like salty or sweet foods more? Salty. Do you have any hidden talents? I'd like to be on American Idol some day. You're not going to change your mind, are you? Definitely not! I tried to picture the serenity of our son safely home with us, but thoughts of disasters like any one of the previous adoption attempts crept into my brain.
The plan was that when our son was born (in our presence) at Santa Monica Hospital we would immediately take him off the maternity ward, but that some time prior to discharge the birthmother would spend some time alone in her room with her/our son. Then upon discharge we would drive to the adoption agency (Vista del Mar) to sign the relinquishment papers, and then drive immediately to LAX for her flight (alone) back to her home. It seemed like there were so many possible glitches in the chain of events ahead of us. It was the day before the induction and the weather was glorious. We decided to get off of our feet (mine had even started to swell) and catch a movie at the 3rd Street Promenade. We suggested Shrek 2 – the first Shrek was so light and hilarious – but why didn't Alen or I check the movie synopsis, which in part read: "Troubled to learn that not only will Shrek be compelled to rule Far Far Away, but that he and Fiona are also expecting a little ogre."? As we watched Shrek go through the process of first coming to terms with being a parent and then by the end being head over heels about it, my peripheral vision was not keen enough to check the birthmother's emotions, but one glance at Alen was enough for me to learn his: sheer horror. I tossed and turned all that night, and before I knew it Monday, May 21st had finally arrived and I found us bleary-eyed at the hospital for our 6am induction. Of course with all the procedures/paperwork the induction didn't officially get underway until a couple of hours later, but we were there for the duration. Periodic visits by the ob-gyn let us know that progress was being made, and the birthmother was a trooper. I genuinely felt her pain, and wanted to minimize it, but she was adamant: no drugs! We assured her that the drugs were safe, but she didn't want to take any chances of harming her/our son. I worried that she cared this much because she had changed her mind in the 11th hour, but then realized that 11 was our lucky number and the worry was gone. The day was followed by night, and the progress was good. Alen and I decided that we had to get some air and food while the birthmother slept due to an exhausting day of contracting, pushing, and screaming (for all of us). We ate at a nearby Thai restaurant, and all we could do was look at each other, shake our heads, and pray that all would go well. Would our son be healthy (since there was zero prenatal care), and would she relinquish her parental rights or choose to take him back on the plane ride home with her, leaving us empty-handed yet again? We returned to the hospital room and the ob-gyn was ready to start down the home stretch (literally). Minutes turned to a few hours of pushing and panting, and I felt like Cinderella checking her watch for the stroke of midnight. Wouldn't it be amazing if our son held on until after midnight, thereby making his birth date the 22nd of the month just like mine (12/22) and Alen's (6/22)? Since the induction had started early morning on the 21st, I gave up any hope of that happening. (Whereas Alen, my very smart doctor /husband had guesstimated that our son would probably be born just after midnight, and I had simply replied with a head shake/eye roll.) Midnight came and went, and at 12:06am on May 22nd our bundle of joy was born, healthy and with a smile on his face (after crying for air). We got to cut the cord and hold him, and then present him with pride to the angel who had just brought him into this world. She seemed fine as he was whisked away. We lingered so that she wouldn't feel abandoned, but then finally left to spend the remaining time in the hospital with our/her son Devin. A few hours prior to Devin's discharge, the social worker called to tell us that it was time for Devin's hour of alone time with the birthmother, as we had previously agreed. I wanted this so much for her well-being, but at the same time was feeling raw and vulnerable. And as I peeked down the hall at her hospital room door and watched one hour turn into two and then as slowly into three, I had no idea what would happen next.

Some types of evergreen shrubs are not safe for dogs, according to "The Merck Veterinary Manual." The toxins are in berries, seeds, leaves or bark. Dogs and puppies are prone to eat just about anything, even evergreen shrubs.
Other People Are Reading
Evergreen shrubs containing parts toxic to dogs include the oleander, the rhododendron, the yellow jasmine, the evening trumpet flower, the Carolina Jessamine, the yew, the laurel, the ivy bush, mistletoe and lambkill.
Signs of evergreen shrub poisoning in dogs vary depending on how much the dog ate and what species he ate. Call a vet if a dog suddenly vomits, vomits blood, has seizures, has uncontrollable muscle spasms, problems breathing, sudden bouts of diarrhoea or dilated pupils.
Always research the species of shrub you wish to place in your landscape before purchasing to see if it is poisonous to pets. Explore the shrubs on your property and promptly remove any that are poisonous to your dog.

Cardiff council will receive a 0.1% increase in funding support from the Welsh Assembly Government, it has been announced.
Cardiff is the only council in Wales to see a positive increase in funding following the WAG budget announcement for local authorities, but the leader of Cardiff council has said the increase is to cover Cardiff's growing population.
The extra £395 million in core funding from WAG in 2011-12 is equivalent to £1,148 for every person living in the area. In addition to this, £16.8 million will be available to support capital projects in Cardiff. The council will also receive specific grants to support a range of activities including early years and post 16 education, refuse disposal and recycling.
Announcing the details of the Revenue Support Grant for the next three years, Carl Sargeant said the money will protect schools and social services. He said:
"I am increasing slightly the cash funding of local authorities over the three year period. This is in stark contrast to the position in England where local government core funding shows a decrease of 2.3% on a like for like basis.
"To protect schools, the settlement includes an increase in funding for education of around £61 million over the three year period. There is also an additional £35 million to enable Councils to meet the pressure on vital social services for the young and old during these difficult times.
"There can be no respite. The challenge of delivering good quality services for less money continues.
"I am confident that local authority managers, trade unions and those at the front line of services will rise to the challenge and deliver for citizens across Wales."
But Cardiff council faces at £90m deficit over the next three years – which will include more than 200 council staff taking voluntary redundancy and a reduction in management overheads.
Cardiff council leader Rodney Berman told Guardian Cardiff he felt although the announcement seemed like good news – the increase was mainly due to the rise in Cardiff's population by 6%. He said:
"There could still be a sting in the tail when we get the full details for all the specific grants on top of this announcement.
"We do appear to have done better but the main reason for that increase is the increase of population in Cardiff."
Berman said there was a potential for cuts to come to key council services such as refuse collection. He said:
"We don't yet know whether there's going to be cuts to the grants for waste management and recycling for example.
"Different people use different services. Street cleansing and waste collection are things everyone benefits from. We may have to make some difficult choices, but we need to do a lot of number crunching."
Former first minister Rhodri Morgan welcomed the news and said the council needed to recognise its good fortune.
"Cardiff has had a fair and reasonable settlement in its funding over the next three year period, especially given the present tough economic climate. The additional £16.8m support for capital projects like schools is also to be welcomed. Now we want to see some action from the council in actually getting those capital funds invested quickly in new school buildings to benefit Cardiff's school-children. That would also get our construction companies and their employees working again."
"I understand that the settlement has been grudgingly welcomed by the Lib-Dem led Cardiff council, but they should recognise what they are getting in Wales is in stark contrast to the situation that their own party have conspired to produce in England, where local authorities are facing an overall reduction of 2.4%."
Cardiff Central Assembly Member Jenny Randerson said the increase in funds recognised the extra challengers Cardiff faces. She said:
"Although a 0.1% increase in the settlement for Cardiff will still mean challenging times for the Welsh Lib Dem lead Council, I am pleased that this year Cardiff has not been penalised compared to other local authorities in Wales and I am confident that the Council will work hard to make the efficiencies needed with as little pain as is possible.
"In the past few years we have seen miscalculations on funding for Cardiff that failed to take account of the extra people and challenges that Cardiff faces. Cardiff is now moving in the right direction."

Texas Music Needs Cedric and Omar To Be OK
Cedric Bixler-Zavala at Trees last night
Mike Brooks
Antemasque/Le Butcherettes Trees 8/5/2014
We've all had friends who got married to each other. It's strange when these friends fight with each other. It's even stranger when these friends get divorced. What side do we take? Who do we support? Who do we boo?
When it comes to Texas alt-rock, we've got Cedric and Omar. Since 1993 Cedric and Omar have been making music together. Exactly 20 years on from a marriage that defined alt-rock in Texas, there was a divorce. Now, a year on, the warring factions have gotten back together. And it's wonderful.
Antemasque was the reconciliation, and it swept through Dallas last night. While the Mars Volta grew ever more bloated and opaque in their later days, Cedric and Omar's deeper background is one of post-punk, of ATD-I destroying venues with the force of tracks like "One Armed Scissor" and "Enfilade." With Antemasque, it's like the last 21 years never occurred. Much as the latest trend in cinema is the franchise reboot, what we have here is an honest-to-goodness rebooted At the Drive-In, and that's something we all need.

This new band is still very much a work in progress. I saw them in Austin on Sunday night, and Cedric struggled with the highs while Omar worked out the riffs. It wasn't great. Last night in Dallas the two clicked, and with a rhythm section of Dave Elitch and Marfed Rodriguez-Lopez (of Zechs Marquise, and not Flea like on the new Antemasque record) the result was explosive. I'm not old enough, nor have I lived in Texas long enough to have experienced ATD-I the first time round, but I would imagine the experience here was at least comparable.
The highlights, like Antemasque singles "Hanging In The Lurch" and "People Forget," were just extraordinary live, tight and focused and not sounding like much else in music. It felt like being at the birth of a genuinely new phenomenon, a privilege to witness and a logical conclusion of Omar and Cedric's careers so far. We need these musicians to be OK with each other.
On a different note, it's possible that support act Le Butcherettes are one of the most vital bands touring America right now. If you're not familiar with the Guadalajara post-punks, they're somewhere between PJ Harvey and Sparks, a perfect post-rock positioning that makes them vital and engaging. Singer and main melodist Teri Gender Bender is an extraordinary personality, oscillating between cute and terrifying, and drummer Lia Braswell is simply one of the best in the business.
Gender Bender is the essential frontwoman, not a created or put-on personality but a strong self-expression that beguiles and intrigues, and music is all the better for her mildly terrifying dance moves. Both wear bloodied butcher's aprons, and both create an exceptionally necessary highway in modern indie music. We can only hope they bring a headline tour through very soon.
In summary, if you weren't part of the sold-out Trees crowd last night, you should be prepared to pay a lot more to see either of these bands come through in the near future. Both Le Butcherettes and Antemasque are the future, even if one is an oblique return to Texas' past.

ToughLove - all I can say is you don't understand feminism, that is evident. I'm a SAHM, as are several women just in this thread. SAHM's are no more lackies than working women are money hungry. Most feminists support choice, whether it be SAH or working. The fact you were even able to get your counselling certificate and work full stop is bc of feminism.
Please do some reading before you spread these falsehoods, you are bitter about feminism and you don't even understand it's basic goals and beliefs.

She's not saying that at all. She's responding to some of the arguments we hear against feminism - that we shouldn't worry that women are more likely to be s3xually assaulted, paid less etc unless we first fight for men's rights.
Most people have something they are passionate about.
Arguing that feminists shouldn't argue just for women's rights is like saying the animal welfare league shouldn't exist unless they use their funding equally toward children's rights and care just as much about that.
I also find the word bitter strange coming from you. You have a real agenda.

3. Stop criticizing domestic servitude! Some women are proud to look after their families.
This one's a misogynist favourite, especially notable for the fact it's the only time you'll find them advocating for women's rights in the workplace. Specifically, a woman's right to iron her husband's work shirts instead of her own. Misogynists who use this argument like to wax lyrical about things like choice, pride and sacrificial love. But what they're really defending is their belief that women belong in the home, performing dull domestic tasks for the primary benefit of everyone other than themselves (and mainly their husband). Despite the fact that these dudes wouldn't devote even an tenth of their lives to it themselves, they're invested in outwardly maintaining the nobility of unpaid domestic work – because ascribing false honour to drudgery is how you reinforce invisible social power.
The thing is, women can choose those things if they want to. There's nothing more tedious than the status quo trying to pit stay-at-homes against workforce broads. But the fact is, these people aren't advocating for or defending a range of choices. How do I know that? Because if they were, we wouldn't even be having this conversation.
This point seems to cop her the most flack but I think what she is trying to say is not that choosing to stay at home is awful. But that the only time some guys try to fight for womens rights is when it is thier right to stay at home. And that pitting working mums against home mums is rubbish and wrong. It should all be accepted without choice.
I personally am very thankful that I am not considered the property of my partner to do with whatever he wishes. I would not have that freedom if it weren't for feminism. I like the fact that if a man I am with beats me I have the choice to leave him without the police dragging me back. And I like the fact that if I my partner leaves me while I am pregnant I will not be pressured to give up my baby or have it taken off me under the idea that I am unable to care for it alone.
I also liked this article, I have heard all those rubbish arguements too many times.

No one can know, and so we accept it in little pieces, little glimpses. Elie came home last night, bringing his cousin with him. In the United States, families celebrated Thanksgiving. Many Orthodox (or ultra-Orthodox) families reject the notion of thanking God "only" one day a year and thus don't observe this holiday. When we lived in America, most years we used the vacation time as a chance to gather family and enjoy a quiet meal, and yes, we served a whole turkey with stuffing and tons of food.
When we moved to Israel, where Thanksgiving is another Thursday before another Friday, before our Shabbat, followed by a standard working Sunday, the tradition mostly faded. Here and there, over the years, we have bought a turkey, cooked it and gathered family or friends. This year, dear friends asked us many months ago and I issued an invitation. As the day approached, I had no idea if Elie would be joining us or not.
In the end, our friends came over, plus I invited my parents (Elie's grandparents) and then, when it was clear that Elie would be home, I invited his cousin to come along as well. They made arrangements to meet in Beersheva, the nearest city to the base (this is no military secret as everyone knows that there are many bases throughout Israel).
Since they are at different levels in their service, the base bussed them off separately, so they agreed that whoever got there first would wait for the other. They arrived starving and exhausted - in other words, normal.
Elie ate several brownies, while Yair was carefully arranging them on a platter (and leaving holes for Yair to fill). They looked beautiful together in uniform (and then they both rushed to get out of uniform and relax). During dinner I spoke to Elie about what next week holds. Last I'd heard, he was holding out for the Medics Course and would therefore leave the Commanders Course.
So, what does the future hold? Elie has decided to stay in the south, in the Commanders Course. He said that there are very few medics in the Artillery (something a mother can only be grateful for) and even fewer taken from his type of unit. The chances that he would actually get approval seems dim and so Elie has decided to stay with the current course. On the one hand, this fills me with pride and, on the other, more concern.
To understand the concern, one must understand the Israeli concept of "follow me." It is the basis upon which the Israeli army is built and the reason why so many commanding officers are injured. Israeli soldiers lead, they do not order their troops into battle, but lead the way instead. It is logical, as these are the most experienced, the best trained. The less experienced are safer for having their commanding officer right there, in the thick of battle, issuing orders and making decisions. It is not logical, as it risks those who are in command, leaving behind the less experienced should the leader fall. But most of all, it is Israel.
This is how it is done. Many months ago, Elie told me about how only the commanding officer can shoot the massive machine gun on top of his armored personnel carrier. Only the commanding officer knew how to take it apart and put it back together. Yedidyah saw something in Elie, I believe, because he showed Elie how to do this. Now Or will train Elie to be a commanding officer; Yedidyah will be there as well. Elie takes this step into the future with them, gaining experience, learning how to lead.
If Elie passes this course, he will welcome a group of new recruits and they will call him "Commander" and not "Elie" for the first few months together. He will teach them to be soldiers, as he was taught.
So, what does the future hold? No one knows, but at this moment, Elie is asleep, having eaten a full meal of turkey and stuffing, side dishes and more dessert. He'll share the Sabbath with us and so my heart will be at peace. On Sunday, he'll return to his base in the south and begin. As usual, I'll send some large boxes of homemade cookies and brownies with him. He doesn't know how often he will be home - every two weeks, every three weeks? No one knows the future.
"How many boxes do you want to take back?" I asked him.
"As many as I can," he answered.
And so, I hope that the future holds only sweet things for my son. As it seems now, Elie may well be a commanding officer in the army of Israel, leading others and teaching them. While that isn't certain, my role hasn't changed.
I've baked brownies and will make cookies for him to take back and I'll continue to watch as this boy becomes a man, as this soldier becomes (hopefully) a commander.

I hope Elie's decision to remain in the Commander's Course is a good one. I know it must be more stressful for you so we will continue to pray for you and your family. May HaShem bless you and Elie, (and his cousin, too!)
I love reading your blog...it has quickly become one of my "regulars!"

Noorani vs Nehru Library
Both at loggerheads over âHaksar Papersâ
NEW DELHI: Can official files that form part of the âHaksar Papersâ in the Nehru Memorial Museum & Library (NMML) be accessed by scholars? This is the question confounding the NMML after constitutional expert A.G. Noorani requisitioned some files marked âTop Secretâ and âNGOâ (âNot To Go Outâ in official parlance) from the âHaksar Papers.â
Citing the Right to Information (RTI) Act, 2005, Mr. Noorani has challenged NMMLâs contention that the papers cannot be accessed by him through the normal course. Instead, NMML has set up a three-member expert group to scrutinise all such papers having official files in its collection as part of a larger endeavour to âclear all of them, or nearly all of them, for public access as soon as possible.â
Original files
The files in question are original files of the External Affairs Ministry. Unlike in the case of the National Archives, where official files are sent by departments after vetting them, much of the collection at NMML has been built up from private donations.
In the case of the âHaksar Papers,â NMML got it in three batches â the first two from P.N. Haksar, who was the former Prime Minister, Indira Gandhiâs secretary, and the third sent by his daughter after his death.
Official Secrets Act
According to NMML Director Mridula Mukherjee, experts have advised that âas the corresponding provisions of the Official Secrets Act (OSA), 1923, were consistent with the provisions of the RTI Act, in so far as there was no discordance the obligations and penalties of the OSA were applicable (sic).â
The eight experts consulted include National Book Trust Chairman Bipin Chandra, Magsaysay awardee Shanta Sinha, former NMML Deputy Director D.N. Panigrahi, historian and NMML Directorâs husband Aditya Mukherjee, the former Director of Historical Division in External Affairs Ministry, A.S. Bhasin, lawyer Prashant Bhushan and Shekhar Singh of the National Campaign for Peopleâs Right to Information.
But, Mr. Noorani differs with them. In his opinion, the stamp of âSecretâ had âlost the intimidatory character it once possessed under the OSA, both by virtue of recent judicial rulings and above all by the RTI⦠Indeed, its main purpose is to end the culture of secrecy fostered by the Act of 1923 as Section 8(2) makes clear.â Further, he has argued that the âHaksar Papersâ do not fall within any of the âbarsâ set out in Section 8 of the RTI.
Since the experts advised NMML to scrutinise these documents, a sub-group has been set up to examine all such papers.
And, as the papers in question pertain to the External Affairs Ministry, the library has asked it to send a representative to look at them and see if they can be opened to the public.
NMML in the dock
But a fact that has put NMML in the dock is that these very files have been accessed in the past. If government rules do not permit NMML to allow access to official files in its collection, then how was historian Ramchandra Guha allowed to access them while working on his book India After Gandhi is the question Mr. Noorani is asking.

Re: Noorani vs Nehru Library
Haksar Papers open to public
Anita Joshua
NEW DELHI: After denying Constitutional expert A.G. Noorani access to certain official files marked âTop Secretâ and âNGOâ (Not to Go Out in official parlance) from the Haksar Papers in its collection, the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library (NMML) has decided to open them to the public.
The decision was taken by NMML as per the advice of a three-member expert committee set up last month to examine the papers sought by Mr. Noorani. Copies of the files in question have since been mailed to Mr. Noorani who had even filed an application under the Right to Information Act to secure access to them.
The three experts who examined the papers were twice Rajya Sabha member and expert on China V.P. Dutt; the former Director of the Historical Division in the External Affairs Ministry, A.S. Bhasin; and Shekhar Singh of the National Campaign for Peopleâs Right to Information.
They were part of the eight-member committee on whose advice NMML initially refused Mr. Noorani access to these files.
The files in question are original files of the External Affairs Ministry.

Working in China by Ching Kwan Lee
Book DescriptionAfter a quarter of a century of market reform, China has become the workshop of the world and the leading growth engine of the global economy. Its immense labour force accounts for some twenty-nine per cent of the world's total labour pool but all too little is known about Chinese labour beyond the image of workers toiling under appalling sweatshop conditions for extremely low wages. Working in China introduces the lived experiences of labour in a wide range of occupations and work settings. The chapters of this book cover professional employees such as engineers and lawyers, service workers such as bar hostesses, domestic maids and hotel workers, and industrial workers in a variety of factories. The mosaic of human faces, organizational dynamics and workers' voices presented in the book reflect the complexity of changes and challenges taking place in the Chinese workplace today. Based on extraordinary and thorough field research, this book will have a wide readership at undergraduate level and beyond, appealing to students and scholars from a myriad of disciplines including Chinese studies, labour studies, sociology and political economy.
