Social Capital and Welfare Reform by Jo Anne Schneider
Book DescriptionIn this groundbreaking study, Jo Anne Schneider considers the reasons behind the limited success of most welfare reform initiatives and offers evidence-based recommendations for enhancing the effectiveness of welfare policy. Schneider draws on her rich and nuanced ethnographic studies of Philadelphia, Milwaukee, and Kenosha, Wisconsin to clarify the role of social capital for both individuals and institutions. She shows that the social relationships and patterns of trust that enable people to gain access to resources like government services, organization funding, and jobs are crucial in helping families achieve their goals. Schneider examines the complex ways in which social capital functions in conjunction with economic, human, and cultural capital, and explores social capital dynamics among government, nonprofits, and congregations that together provide the welfare support system. Social Capital and Welfare Reform is compulsory reading for researchers and students in social work, sociology, anthropology, public policy, education, community psychology, social psychiatry, and non-profit and public administration as well as policy makers interested in welfare reform, poverty, and nonprofits.

ARRESTED: This Woman Who Claimed She Was "Too Busy" To Feed Dog, Charged with FELONY Cruelty
A Sarasota, Florida woman is facing felony animal cruelty charges after she tried to surrender her dog, a border collie named Richter, to a local, kill shelter. Alexandria Drew, 20, was questioned at the shelter about Richter, allegedly lying to shelter telling staff that he was a stray dog she met on the street.
After a routine scan for a microchip listed her as the owner, an alert shelter staff member secretly called in police to report a case of animal abuse against Drew as she was waiting in the lobby. When police arrived, Drew continued to allegedly deny ownership of the dog, after she was confronted with evidence to the contrary.
Drew ultimately confessed to neglecting Richter and then shockingly told officers that she brought him to the kill shelter, saying she simply didn't have the "time" to feed him. Officer immediately arrested her after the stunning confession, and charged her with one count of felony animal cruelty and neglect.
As for Richter, he was taken to the Humane Society of Sarasota County, where he will be held until Drew's case is fully adjudicated. Thankfully, he is expected to make a full recovery. Drew is presently out on bond and her next scheduled court is unknown at the time of this writing.

Good Job Betty!
My husband's cousin has two children, 8 & 10 (I think). Last year Mom said something offhand about wishing she had a few iris at her house, so I sent her a box with about twenty cvs. I was only trying to not throw so very many onto the compost pile while I moved my beds, but from what I heard both the girls got very excited and picked out cvs.... So it's doable, even by accidental side affects of irisitis.

yell, I couldn't say a thing! She was running due to the excitement of spotting
a gorgeous iris! She just couldn't wait!
Yes, she broke an iris stalk! And of all the hundreds of stalks in the
garden it was "the one!" But I want their experience to be one of sheer
joy. I want them to "get" grandma's addiction!
They will be 6, 3, and 9 months. I can hardly wait to share Gracie Joelle's

Same here Opinionated. He will sit around in a pigsty of a house and unless I tell him specifically what to do he just won't. It's like having a 4th child.
This thread has made me appreciate my husband even moreso...I can't believe some of the things I have read in here
Once Grant was at cricket and his clothes had heaps of grass stains on them and one of his friends from cricket (a man about 40ish) says to me "looks like you have a bit of washing to do" and I said "not really, he's 25 he can wash his own sh!t can't he?" he didn't say a thing.
I'm doing a bit more these days but for 3months DH has done 100% of the house/food/chores as I was on bedrest before DD and took a few weeks to recover afterwards.
and he also found time to fix my mums tap, mow nanas lawn and help my BIL fencing.
I appreciate him so much and tell him/thank him constantly.
caught myself a great man
DH does heaps with the kids and even more around the house! When he's home he does more cleaning than I do!
defaipe I think it's a really nice thing for you to do your husband's clothes nobody takes issue when one is willing. I find the problem is (as Bellini stated) that ironing is considered "women's work" still, TO THIS DAY.
I work full-time for my family too. As does my partner. I have to iron/wash/fold my own clothes, I don't see why it is still seen as something *only* for SAHMs. The world has changed so much and people need to realise that working outside the home does not make for a free pass when we get home.
He sure does...when he is home that is. He is away for months at a time so I LOVE the help when he gets home
I always cook every night he is home & he automatically gets up, does the dishes & makes us a pot of tea. Its our routine.
He also helps with vacuuming & steam mopping, he does the lawns etc.
The only thing i wont let him do is washing. Im a bit of a control freak when it comes to my washing & hanging out of clothes
One asked where do I find a helpful man I would say you never accept one that is not helpful from day one.
I could never see what would attract you to such a useless person in the first place let alone have children with them.
Still looking for that 'helpful hubby microchip' LOL

Coolest Homemade Peanuts Gang Group Costume 14
by Jen M.
(Millersville, TN, USA)
Our bank participated in a Christmas Parade in our city. The theme for the parade was "A Charlie Brown Christmas." This is our best photo from the day and includes, Linus, Marcie, Peppermint Patty, Freida, Lucy and Snoopy, Pigpen and Sally Brown.
We blew up balloons, covered them with plastic wrap and then covered them with four layers of paper mached newspaper. We used a half water, half glue mix to make our "paper mache." Then we spray painted them, cut eye holes, covered those in mesh and used felt and pipe cleaners for the rest of the facial features. Then we hot-glued yarn to the heads. Some of us covered the heads in felt before adding yarn, just in case the yarn was too thin.
After that, we dressed as our characters. We were originally going to wear dresses that we found at Goodwill, but it was too cold. So we all tried to find sweatshirts the same color of our characters and that worked out much better.
Our Homemade Peanuts Gang Group Costume was the winner for best float/costume in our city's parade.

Coolest Homemade Peanuts Gang Costume 20
by Rachael
(West Des Moines, IA)
Homemade Peanuts Gang Costume
We fell in love with the California group's Peanuts gang pictures on here and no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't find a better idea for our group. Thank you very much for your detailed plan. We, too, were a huge hit in our Homemade Peanuts Gang Costume!!!
We used punching balloons (as beach balls were out of season) and homemade paper mache for the masks. We primed and painted the heads. Used sharpie markers for the facial features and pipe cleaners, felt, and yarn for the hair. (Lucy wrapped felt around dollar store curlers).
We cut the mouths out and covered them with see through mesh for viewing. The heads were very difficult to keep "upright" but if one planned on wearing them for an extended period of time, putting a baseball hat inside the head and then slipping in on your head, might just help the "wobble".
We all did our own clothes per each Peanut character. I made the Snoopy house out of cardboard boxes and red duct tape.
Very cool idea California! These are keepers!

Coolest Snoopy Homemade Costume 15
by Carolina M.
This Snoopy homemade costume was really cheap and easy to make. I had only 4 days to make it and it turned out pretty good considering my limited time.
First of all I bought those really big balloons (the ones you can fill with candy). When it was big enough to fit a head, I tied it and glued to a plastic bow so I could cover it with paper mache and it wouldn't move around. I put 4 layers of paper mache, the last one made of normal white paper to create something like a white canvas to work on.
Painted with white paint (2 layers), ears were made with black fabric (old shirt) and the other details in the face were painted.
For the house I bought a large enough cardboard box and cut it so it would become a house-shaped box. Covered it with orange foam. I had to leave a hole in the box so I could get in. For the legs I used old white socks filled with clothes.
Total Spent: 10 U$

Coolest Homemade Charlie Brown and Lucy Couple Costume 18
by Dana
We had the idea to be Charlie Brown and Lucy because my boyfriend is bald and someone mentioned to him that he looked like Charlie Brown!
His costume was easy. I bought 2 t-shirts, one yellow and one black. The black t-shirt, I ripped up and used as the zig-zag for the yellow shirt. I did some simple stitching to make it stay put. Add some black shorts, and we were all set.
The Lucy costume was a little more difficult. I found an old lady blue dress at a thrift shop they was ankle length and long sleeves. I had to make quite a few alterations to make the dress look "Lucy-esque". I paired the dress with my saddle shoes that I wore in high school, a black wig and our Homemade Charlie Brown and Lucy Couple Costume came together!

July 21st 2014 5:19am GMT, London UK
Binary options trading for the week ahead will have plenty to focus on as binary traders look to sink their teeth into more profitable opportunities. The S&P, the perennial front running, non-forex asset, tradable asset is looking to make headlines with a breakout above 2000. This past week, we hope this would occur a number of times but alas, binary options trading strategies had to look elsewhere. With the S&P closing the previous week at 1978.22 leaving the index a measly 1.12% remaining till the break is upon us. Unfortunately for binary options traders, this means more time to wait. The uptrend is not doubted on any level and a break is certainly imminent, but the distance is too great to expect a break today.
For binary options traders though, don't be discouraged by this fact. Simply keep the S&P index on your watch list for the entire week and don't concern yourself with the issue of a lack of a break. Today though is not likely to be the day we break a new record of this magnitude.
So for today specifically, binary options trading will more likely than not refocus on fast moving forex pairs. Much like last week where we placed a great deal of emphasis on less analyzed pairs like the AUD/USD and others of this type, we believe that the coming trading days will magnify the need for faster moving binary options trading pairs. Other fast movers like the GBP pairs ie. GBP/USD, GBP/CHF, GBP/JPY, and others will likely keep binary options traders in the fray.
But don't be fooled by fast movers. As fast as they can move in your direction, being overly zealous about trend-trading such pairs could be the recipe for disaster. As such, keep the trading low risk and short in expiry.

A little while ago I found a NWT PS sport coat. I posted a few pictures, but now that I'm going back to it to post it on ebay, I'm seeing many cool details I missed when i picked it up.
But now I'm looking at ebay past auctions and there is not that many that resemble my blazer. I'm a bit clueless about estimating a reasonable price on this thing.
it's a Made in Belgium, 2 buttons, 2 Patch pockets, double vent sport coat. Color is very dark navy (maybe black?), Size S
surgeon cuffs (1 of the 4 buttons in each sleeve is different from the others),
3 different lining colors(gold, emerald & sapphire tones) + pocket lining in silk
2 small connecting pieces in a different fabric color at the back of the collar Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
EDIT: I can actually see the initial sticker under the tag with model N# & Size.
Initial retail price seems to be $1,365.

When there is vandalism, there is always an opportunity to raise awareness
with the local press...
We recently faced some destruction to our gardens from presumably bored
kids, so our garden students wrote letters to the editor to express their
dismay... they featured the kids' work and this article on the front page

~Growing Kids Who Grow Gardens~
Vandalism hurts, baffles young gardeners
Wednesday, July 19, 2006
By Kyla King
The Grand Rapids Press
First, someone took the Red Delicious apple tree students planted at
Parkview Elementary in Wyoming.
Then, vandals hit two other elementary school gardens tended by children,
damaging potato plant towers, taking trellis materials and ripping up
Disappointed students have decided enough is enough. In more than 30 letters
sent to The Press, they are appealing to the community to help protect their
"It makes me feel sad that people take our stuff from our garden," wrote
8-year-old Jerica Boss, of East Leonard Elementary in Grand Rapids.
"Why would someone come to our school garden and wreck it?" wrote a student
from Taft Elementary in Wyoming.
That's exactly what Jennifer Getting Jameslyn wonders, because the gardens
are open and available for the community to enjoy.
"It's really disheartening for kids who spend their time caring for these
plants and watching them grow." said Jameslyn, whose non-profit "Mixed
Greens" group sponsors the gardens.
"We don't have sensors or security cameras, and we don't want to block
anything off. We need everyone to be our garden guardians," she said.
For the past three years, Mixed Greens has worked with more than 300
students in Grand Rapids and Wyoming to plant and tend vegetable and fruit
gardens. The organization's goal is to improve health and education and
encourage children to eat fruits and vegetables.
Those involved with the program say it represents much more for many of the
"Some of these kids, this may be sadly the only garden they'll ever have,"
said Brent Merritt, who coordinates the after-school program at Parkview
Elementary. "(On free days) I've seen kids out here weeding or taking their
mom and dad through the garden and pointing out the things they've planted."
That's why Merritt says he was not surprised when the children took the time
to write their letters.
"I give hats-off to them to be able to turn this into something positive,"
he said.
Jameslyn said most of the vandalism was at East Leonard, Taft and Parkview
elementaries, where students tend them twice a week.
The first incident occurred in June when Parkview students noticed an apple
tree was missing. Then over the Fourth of July holiday, Mixed Greens workers
said, all three gardens were hit.
The students' dedication was evident Tuesday at Parkview Elementary, where
second and third graders replaced okra that had been ripped out by vandals.
Shielding their eyes from the sun, the students huddled around after Mixed
Green staffer "Miss Emily" Martin explained the proper way to plant the
The kids watched intently as 8-year-old Travis Sleet dug a hole and
6-year-old Rebekah Helder gently placed an okra plant inside.
"Working in the garden is a powerful experience for these students. They
care a lot about it," Jameslyn said. "The vandalism has been on a relatively
small scale, though it doesn't feel that way to the kids."

Disillusioned says
Based on my experience in Answers section, I find that there many people who lack sense of humor, capacity to accept opposite views, capacity to understand sarcasm. I can't understand why people should feel so proud and egoistic in a faceless forum like this! May be, voting down is there way of saying "I know better".
