The Fourth World Congress on Positive Psychology
Last week
we attended the Fourth World Congress on Positive Psychology in Lake Buena
Vista, Florida. It was a very
interesting and inspiring congress that clearly shows that the field is
evolving and changing. With the general public, Positive Psychology still has
the image of being "Happiology", but in fact it is not and has never been. This year at the congress it was more obvious than ever that Positive
Psychology is of course intending to make individuals flourish, but that this
is ultimately supposed to lead to a better society.

From personal to emotional hygiene
We know a
lot about maintaining our physical health, but not much about maintaining our
mental health. We suffer psychological injuries (such as failure) so much more
often than physical injuries and they can impact our lives dramatically, yet we
do not treat them and it does not even occur to us that we should do something
about it.

Why our brain loves stories
Two weeks
ago we learned that our brains are better at encoding stories as opposed to simple
facts. This week we will explore why this is the case and how we can make use
of this fact.

Facts and fiction
Last week
we reported on some psychology myths and debunked them. Many of them are the
result of our tendency to accept whatever is reported in the media without questioning
it. However, this effect is not restricted to 'facts'. It seems that also
fiction, for example films, shape our knowledge. We tend to believe whatever we
see in a film, even if we know it is not the truth. How do we know, why is this
and what can we do about it?

IRVING (AP) – Their presidential plans may be uncertain but one thing is clear: Jeb Bush and Hillary Rodham Clinton keep bumping into each other.
Bush and Clinton were taking the podium Monday at a higher education conference in suburban Dallas organized by Bush, the former Florida governor who is the brother and son of Republican presidents. The former secretary of state, whose husband, Bill Clinton, served two terms in the White House, is the leading Democratic contender in 2016 if she runs for president again.
As both Clinton and Bush weigh their options, the conference offers a bipartisan twist for the two dominant American political families of the late 20th century, both of whom could return to the presidential stage next year.
It is at least the third time in the past year that Bush and Clinton were crossing paths.
Both were on hand for the April 2013 Dallas presidential library dedication of former President George W. Bush, Jeb Bush's older brother. Mrs. Clinton sat on stage with her husband and four other living U.S. presidents attending the ceremony, including the Bush patriarch, former President George H.W. Bush.
In Philadelphia last September, Jeb Bush— in his role as chairman of the National Constitution Center — awarded Hillary Clinton the Liberty Medal, an event which allowed both to offer plenty of presidential-themed banter.
Bush said while he and the former first lady "come from different political parties, and we disagree about a lot of things," they agreed on the wisdom of the American people, "especially those in Iowa and New Hampshire and South Carolina," traditionally the first contests in the presidential primaries.
Tongue-in-cheek, Bush asked Clinton not to wear her medal in Des Moines, Iowa, the home base for many aspiring presidents competing in the state's caucuses.
Mrs. Clinton reminded the audience that both her husband and George H.W. Bush had received the medal in 2006; she and Jeb Bush were "keeping up a family tradition." Clinton told the Philadelphia audience that her husband had recently returned from one of his "annual play dates" in Kennebunkport, Maine, at the Bush family compound.
The two families have produced three presidents since the 1988 election, a streak broken by President Barack Obama's election in 2008.
Rivals in 1992, Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush have developed a bond during their post-presidency; they've become so close that former first lady Barbara Bush said in a 2012 interview that her sons call Bill Clinton their "brother by another mother."
At the Globalization of Higher Education conference, which Bush organized with former Democratic Gov. Jim Hunt of North Carolina, Clinton and Bush will join education experts in discussing ways to improve access and affordability for prospective college students and to help young people acquire job skills.
During a speech Saturday at the Clinton Global Initiative University in Arizona, Mrs. Clinton noted that 6 million young people age 16 to 24 are neither employed nor in school. She cited the need for a higher education system that would promote those pursuing college degrees and vocational training alike.
"There are a lot of important jobs to be done that may not require a college degree but require a respect for the dignity of the work that is being done," she said.
Bush has been a leading advocate for education reform since serving as governor. He overhauled his state's educational system, tying teacher raises to student performance and boosting educational standards.
Bush has been a vocal supporter of Common Core standards, which specify what math and reading skills students should achieve in each grade. Some conservatives have criticized the standards as a federal intrusion into local classrooms.

To the editor:
The new Republican attack on John Kerry goes like this: By saying that he didn't judge people who dodged the draft, went to Canada or served in the National Guard, he was impugning the National Guard itself, as well as the commander in chief.
First, all Kerry is saying is that he doesn't judge people who made a different choice than he did. Period. Not everyone is cut out to be a war hero like Kerry, and those who truly disagreed with the war should not be considered treasonous for following through on their convictions.
As for serving in the National Guard and how it relates to President Bush's character, I don't think anyone looks down on the National Guard and those who honorably served there. As someone who is about to deploy to Afghanistan with my Guard unit, I, personally, am offended by someone who used the Guard as an escape and didn't even understand that he had made a commitment to something greater than himself. By saying that, I'm not saying that I look down on the Guard, but I am disgusted by those who would disgrace an honorable institution with their dishonorable intentions.
I think it would be only fair for the president to release his unexpurgated military records to the public, that we might judge for ourselves his intentions and his service.

Rex Ryan predicted that the Buffalo Bills would play in Super Bowl LI, but don't start making reservations just yet Bills fans. Buffalo's head coach said so in a playful manner when asked by comedian Ben Schwartz.
Schwartz joked that Ryan guarantees the Super Bowl every year and then asked Buffalo's head coach about the 2016 season. Ryan's response?
"Oh please. Next year? I feel fantastic. We're going to the Super Bowl."
Ryan and Schwartz appeared together for a Courtyard Camera Super Bowl episode. The results? Some really funny and entertaining segments.
Besides predicting that the Bills would appear in Super Bowl LI, Ryan takes part in a one-on-one interview with Schwartz, plays a game called "Is That A Snack?," has his caricature drawn with Schwartz, and although Ryan hates fish, he takes part in a fish tasting game called "Name That Fish."
Schwartz and Ryan seem to have quite a bit of fun filming the segment and Buffalo's head coach finds out he actually enjoys sea bass. All Bills fans will thoroughly enjoy this segment.

The Army knew days ahead of time that 28-year-old Brandon Barrett was planning to head to Utah to "make a statement," after a recent tour in Afghanistan, reports the Salt Lake Tribune.
Barrett had donned full body armor and was carrying hundreds of rounds of ammunition, when he exchanged fire with Salt Lake City PD's Officer Uppsen Downes, hitting one in the leg during a gunfight that ended when the wounded officer fired back, killing the soldier with a shot to the head.
The department wasn't aware of Barrett until he opened fire on Downes, according to an agency spokeswoman.
Barrett apparently sent a series of text messages to members of his unit and brother Shane Barrett, a Tucson (Ariz.) PD detective.

Illinois state senator Gary Forby (D-Benton) released the following statement in response to Governor Bruce Rauner's State of the State address on Wednesday:
"The governor talks about the need for jobs in Southern Illinois," said Forby. "I wonder if he realizes what he's done to our region. He shut down the Sparta shooting complex, he cut off funding to Southern Illinois University and John A. Logan College. Those decisions cost people jobs. I hope he realizes he's made a mistake and is going to work to undo his decisions and finally invest in Southern Illinois."

Standing Rock … Are We Willing to Change?
~ Debby Ball
The camps at Standing Rock have brought much
attention to the Dakota Access Pipeline which has
the potential to pose a serious threat to the water
supply of the nearby Standing Rock Reservation.
On so many levels, this pipeline is just wrong. It is
a threat to the water; it is being laid through sacred land; and through Treaty Territory. So many Indigenous Nations across this country, as well as people who have traveled to Standing Rock from many other countries, have come together in one of the greatest responses ever, to stand together for the water, the earth, tribal rights and sovereignty, and future generations.
It is a monumental movement that we should all pay attention to. It is a movement we should take to heart. It is a movement that should not have needed to happen. It is a movement that is not only a response to the greed of the oil industry, but it is also a movement that we all must accept responsibility for.
We have developed such a reliance on the oil industry to stay warm, to drive cars, to have beautiful homes, clothing and so many other material goods that are also reliant on fossil fuels in order to be manufactured and supplied to you and to me, the consumer. For most people today, not a second thought is given to what we consume. We have been good students. From a young age, we have been conditioned to be good consumers. And we have learned this lesson well. So many just cannot seem to imagine life any other way. This material world, this fossil fuel driven world, the lifestyles maintained by fossil fuels. The lifestyles that wars are fought for...SO. We come to critical moments, moments like Standing Rock. Moments where passions are strong and people stand for changing the direction we have been travelling far too long. Moments that beg reflection on what we are doing, on what we can do. And we can do something.
We must make changes. We must begin to look at the way in which we consume. We must begin to ask the questions: How can we do this differently? What can I do to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels? What can I give up? The answers are there. Going into a new year, I will also reflect on changes I can make. I will explore the alternatives. I will talk with experts. I will seek answers. And perhaps the next time we meet, I will have some resolutions, some ideas, some insights that I can share. We all know the little steps we can take: Travel less, commute with others to work, walk more, fly less, turn off lights when not needed, solar, reduce consumption of material goods, reuse, recycle. Yeah, we know the small steps...now let's go further.

Commissioner Gordon is about to be ripped, guys. J.K. Simmons is clearly not taking this role lightly.
Simmons is 61-years-old. When I'm 61, I'll be somewhere on a white sandy beach with a bottomless bucket of beers on ice within arms reach, and a fat Cuban cigar hangin' out my mouth, with my biggest worry being whether to switch over to Cadillac Margaritas before or after taking a dip in the Caribbean waters. A guy can dream, right? Check out a couple more shots of Simmons in action on his training regimen below:
You read that correctly. The double beef, apparently, is what resonates with Batman. Because justice, or something.
Marcelo Rizzetto has created some amazing labels for beers brewed by the Justice League. I'm sure even Lex Luthor would't mind taking a drink.

Track List
Album Notes
Lyricists: Melanie De Biasio; Pascal Paulus.
Personnel: Melanie De Biasio (vocals, flute); Pascal Mohy (piano); Pascal Paulus (Clavinet); Dré Pallemaerts (drums).
Liner Note Author: Gilles Peterson.
Recording information: Motormusic.
The mostly soothing, slightly baleful, ultimately seductive No Deal, the self-produced second album from songwriter, vocalist, and flutist Melanie De Biasio, reached number five on the Ultratop album chart in the artist's native Belgium and gradually charmed DJs and publications in other territories. Released weeks after she performed at BBC DJ Gilles Peterson's Worldwide Awards ceremony and collected a trophy at the European Border Breakers Awards, this is a rare remix album that can be enjoyed from beginning to end, as an alternative version rather than as a clashing assortment of remixes. Arranged by Peterson, who called upon some of his favorite contemporary musicians and producers, No Deal Remixed presents all of the album's songs in new form, identically sequenced, though Cinematic Orchestra's weighty version of "I'm Gonna Leave You" -- different from Clap! Clap!'s lighter, busier work earlier in the program -- functions like a bonus track. Peterson and Simbad's fusion of "With Love" and "Sweet Darling Pain" is central, the most dramatic and radical rework. Its tremulous juke patterns gradually intensify and fill the original's space and pensiveness with nervous anxiety. Another striking remix comes from Eels (Mark Oliver Everett), who possibly took the first line of "I Feel You" -- "I feel you/A deep echo in me" -- as something of a cue. He makes the album opener sound decades old. Through its squally strings, one can envision a rapid playback of scenes from a past romance. Japanese Blue Note act Hex's stuttering/driving revamp of "The Flow" places greater emphasis on De Biasio's flute, while Seven Davis Jr.'s contribution with "No Deal" is a lean house track that treats her voice like a sample source. ~ Andy Kellman

So I've had my dual usb iBook 500 mHz and the battery now lasts me well under an hour while only running one or two programs such as word and internet explorer. What's the deal? Why would my battery do this? Is it fixable without having to go and buy another battery?
I just tested it while trying to run a dvd.....the battery lasted 20 MINUTES!!! Then it was COMPLETELY dead. No warning that the battery was running low. It just died. Please help.
It may be a problem with your power adaptor. My friend had a similar problem. He thought it was the battery, but it turned out to be a bad power adaptor. I have the circle adaptor, and I've had no problems with it, but my friend has already gone through 4 dead square adaptors.
call up apple, explain it to them, they should have a solution or possibly a new battery/adaptor for you.
right or wrong, i think you just have to factor in a new battery every year or so as the cost of having a laptop
Re: iBook battery lasts less then an hour! something that isnt very well known that you are probably experiencing is that your battery needs to be "calibrated".. so to speak.. try draining the battery completely - till the laptop will sleep and not work at all, then recharge it completely.. also, it is important that the time left indicator is often very innacurate especially when launching programs and after starting up.. if your problem still contiunues, of course call apple. i do not, however, think that your power supply is to blame.
Re: Re: iBook battery lasts less then an hour! I beg to differ. The kinds of batteries that Apple uses these days don't need to be fully drained (in fact, fully draining the battery damages it) and calibrated. If the battery was meant to be calibrated, don't you think Apple would put that procedure in the manual? Anyways, this only applies to the Dual USB 500mhz iBook because that's the one I own. The manual says nothing about battery calibration. In fact, it specifically states that you should never fully drain the battery. I can't speak with certainty about other iBooks and TiBooks, but I'd bet dollars to donuts that calibration is not mentioned either. The original poster probably has a shot battery or it's not taking a full charge.
I only get 1hr from my iBook 500 too. Does Apple really give you a new battery if it's still under warranty and doesn't last long?
... Well I have a Key Lime iBook 466mhz Firewire DVD SE, I find the battery to last not as long as it used to but thats because I use it everyday, but I also charge it everynight. I'm gonna get a new battery soon before you can't find them anymore. Thats a wierd problem with the 500 TiBooks, I'd say call Apple, they would know what to do good luck!
LimeiBook, I've got the same model iBook and I've run into the same issues...but know I just keep my iBook at my desk plugged in most of the time anyway due to some screwy Airport stuff... -ArtMan617
if they claim in their labeling that the batter will perform longer than "X" hours for "Y" months, then yes, it is covered under the warranty. Otherwise, I would say, no.
Are you saying the AirPort card takes away battery power or messes up the battery? Thats not good... I was thinking of getting an Airport (yeah and i have the money NOT! ) Did you say anything to Apple about it?
No, the Airport stuff is entirely unrelated to the battery...I've just run into some problems with my computer recognizing the base station...I think I just need to tweek some settings, though. And for the record, I have an older graphite base station and even with those, I haven't heard of many problems, so feel free to Aiport away! -ArtMan617
Re: Re: Re: iBook battery lasts less then an hour! They do actually put an insert into the PowerBook boxes that tells you to completely charge, completely drain, and then completely charge the battery again when you first use it. I did that and I regularly enjoy 4 1/2 hours of battery life while word processing nearly a year later. The iBook and the TiBook use the same battery types, although with different watt-hour ratings.
os x vs 9 OS X drains batteries like a mother! I have an iBook 500 Dual USB and when I got it, X wasn't out. I used 9 and got 3.5-4.5 hours all the time. With OS X, I get about 2.2 hours....when I play a DVD off of batteries I usually don't get to watch the whole thing. In OS 9 I could watch ALMOST two DVDs off of 1 battery. It's simply due to X's hard disk thrashing and Apple knows this. We're now in the same boat as Windows users when it comes to laptop battery time. Thankfully we have apple behind the software/hardware and ibm (in the case of our ibooks) behind the cpu. Both work very hard at low powerconsumption. It'll get better with new software updates. Energy saver preference panel even has some good battery saving techniques in it, but they'll get better. It's the OS. Not your battery.
First-time preparation aside, today's batteries do NOT suffer from the "battery memory" effect that was such a problem with early portables. My powerbook 180 had to be drained and recharged once every two weeks or so if you didn't want the battery crapping out eventually. No doubt there's threads about this on Apple's knowledge base forums... check 'em out... and see what apple's own techs say. i bet it concurs with us. pnw

Bates gives keeping masterclass
Hampshire 119 for 1 (Carberry 62*) trail Glamorgan 224 (Wallace 67*, Ervine 3-36, Coles 3-39, Abbott 3-66) by 105 runs
There really is no substitute for an expert wicketkeeper. The solidity of a proper gloveman behind the stumps has been the making of many great sides in the history of the game. Ames, Evans, Knott, Russell have all defined the art which is in danger of being lost in the modern game where runs seem to trump all else.
Chris Read and James Foster are two current wicketkeepers with a claim for glove greatness but neither will remain in the game beyond the decade. Michael Bates therefore represents a one-man club of young cricketers with the ability to inspire behind the stumps.
His work on the opening day against Glamorgan was one tumbling fumble from faultless. He took four very smart catches, narrowly missed a spectacular fifth, and reminded Hampshire that they possess a very special talent who is surely too valuable not to be selected on a regular basis. His sharp work clinched Hampshire the 2012 Clydesdale Bank 40 with a last-ball stumping.
Hampshire do try. At the end of last season Bates was picked alongside Adam Wheater - a signing of some note from Essex and a far superior batsman - but the start of 2013 saw no place for Bates. A Little Bit O' Luck was needed for him to be recalled and Wheater broke his index finger against Gloucestershire in just the second game of the season.
Both his subsequent Championship appearances have been blighted by the weather but two handy scores, a not out, and a half-century against Cardiff MCCU suggest at some form with the bat. His form behind the stumps is never in doubt and his initial work against Glamorgan was a joyous springing to left and right, up and down with precisely two balls getting past him (one of them unreachable).
A Division Two wicketkeeper is unlikely to catch the wider imagination even in cricket circles but he represents supreme cricketing skill of blessed natural ability of which it is not an overestimation to suggest is a rare commodity in the wider sporting world - at least from British natives.
He feels he is at the peak of his game after a winter in Perth working on his batting with Noddy Holder - a revered Australian batting coach, incidentally, not the former Slade singer having a stint north of the border.
His four catches on day one helped Hampshire justify Jimmy Adams' decision to bowl first on a wicket with a good covering of grass. Hampshire have assembled a very handy bowling attack that would show up well in Division One. Given some assistance at home, they could well bowl their side to promotion; too many draws - nine from 16 matches in the past two years - have undermined Hampshire's bid to return to the first division.
The attack here boasted the pace of Kyle Abbott, the bustling seamers of Matt Coles and the nagging Sean Ervine. They each took three wickets with the very useful left-arm variation of James Tomlinson providing the other.
They were grateful to have Bates to catch. Liam Dawson, too, who claimed four chances at second slip - one short of equalling the Hampshire record - two flashing above his head and another on the rebound from James Vince from first slip just when Vince was about to blot a Hampshire catching masterclass.
With Abbott's third ball, a good length delivery that had Jacques Rudolph - a so-far disappointing signing - poking at it from the crease, a healthy edge whistled low to Bates' left. He was down in a flash to hold a fine catch one-handed just above the turf. He then took off down the leg side to hold Murray Goodwin's flick off Coles.
Abbott came around the wicket to present Bates with his third catch - an inside edge from Will Bragg that required a second leap down the leg side - and a fourth was added to end the Glamorgan innings after a face-saving stand of 65 in 89 balls for the 10th wicket between Mark Wallace and Tom Helm.
Wallace is also among the best wicketkeepers in the game, largely unheralded with Glamorgan remaining largely out of the limelight, and he was briefly mentioned in England terms several years ago.
Now in charge of his county he is a fine mature performer and here played an excellent hand to give his side a batting point and avoid complete calamity, which was the likely scenario at 159 for 9. But, with Helm for steady company, he played intelligently for a 54-ball half-century, with eight fours largely picked out cleverly on the leg side.
Wallace remained unbeaten and proved what was possible on a solid batting wicket - evident as Michael Carberry easily saw off the new ball to go past fifty in 86 balls; the pick of his strokes a pulled six off Helm with two men back for the stroke as Hampshire took control.

No doubt Bates had improved his batting and given his performance back in the keeper seat , it's going to be a tough choice when Wheater is back fit. Possibly Bates plays Championship, with Wheater vying for a batting spot. In one day matches Wheater still gets the nod tbf.
dummy4fb on May 12, 2014, 14:22 GMT
Am another who was surprised by the signing of Wheater but in fairness he has strenghened the squad but am sure Bates is by far the better wicketkeeper and with his improved batting will play more matches! More interesting will be at end of 2014 season when both their contracts end and their are two other talented keepers ( McManus and Alsop) whose batting may surpass the other two will be emerging.
CodandChips on May 12, 2014, 12:54 GMT
Wheatear hasn't even impressed me much with the bat. And Bates scored bucket loads in the 2s but didn't get a look
Also poor Adam Rouse got released
ragebe on May 12, 2014, 12:27 GMT
I echo the sentiments of Hammond7249; most frustrating that Wheater was brought in, when it wasn't an issue with the wicket-keeping that was keeping Hampshire in Div II but an inability to take 20 wickets. A batting line up that includes, Adams, Carberry, Dawson, Vince and Ervine, doesn't require the wicketkeeper to score 50s. Chuck in Smith and Gatting and we have plenty of batting firepower.
For me, keeping Bates as wickie is a must if HCCC are to win more games this season, 20 wickets remember.
DesPlatt on May 12, 2014, 11:20 GMT
@ siltbreeze and @ Tony Bennett. So right. If you a drop a catch from a good batsman at Test level, good batsmen make it costly.
@ Dave1965 ; you say all keepers are good standing back but I saw Lancs first two away games this season and Buttler and Davies dropped more catches standing back than the discarded Cross did in a season. Doesn't take long for that to cost more than a difference in batting average of ten or so
siltbreeze on May 12, 2014, 10:13 GMT
Could someone come up with a formula (Duckworth and Lewis perhaps?!) to quantify the value of a top class gloveman - runs cost by dropping a batsman, byes conceded etc.? Impossible to do of course, but I suspect the benefit would outweigh the difference in batting average between, say, a Read and a Prior. I used idly to add up the byes conceded by Read against other England contenders, and he was consistently saving Notts runs each innings.
John-Price on May 12, 2014, 9:58 GMT
Favouring keepers who can bat is not new. Jim Parks owed his England place to his batting, not his keeping.
dummy4fb on May 12, 2014, 9:08 GMT
And of the group 1, Ames and Knott were both very fine batsmen. This invalidates the point, which would have been better made using Taylor and McIntyre...
dummy4fb on May 12, 2014, 9:03 GMT
Selectors often forget a great wicketkeeper standing upto seamers, taking amazing catches and stumpings is worth a world class bowler, I can think of so many dollies that 'allrounder' keepers dropped where the batsman went on to score heavily. Seeing Ben Scott at Middlesex for all these years standing upto anyone and everyone was just immense a good keeper is worth his weight in gold to a side
Hammond7249 on May 12, 2014, 8:29 GMT
I was frustrated when Hampshire brought in Adam Wheater to replace Bates because he wasn't getting enough runs. Some of the catches I've seen him make would not have been made by a lot of other keepers and certainly not Wheater. When he was brought into the team there was a murmur of discontent from the Hampshire faithful, since we all know how important to the team Michael Bates is. We were made to feel that we were making something out of nothing. Now I feel that we are being vindicated. And Bates has been getting runs, too!

Dear parents, you need to control your kids. Sincerely, non-parents
"Parenting is the easiest thing in the world to have an opinion about, but the hardest thing in the world to do."
To the fan I lost yesterday:
I don't owe you an explanation, but I thought I'd offer one anyway. I do this more for your sake than mine. You see, maybe, as you later suggested, I was in a bad mood. Maybe I could have been a bit more polite about it. Maybe I'm more sensitive to it now that I have kids. Maybe I'm just sick of hearing these comments about parents. Maybe I know that my wife has to take the twins with her when she goes grocery shopping sometimes, so she could easily be on the receiving end of your sort of bullying. Maybe I took it personally.
Whatever the case, there I was, walking down the aisles of the grocery store looking for the ingredients for a new chili recipe I wanted to try. I heard the kid screaming from a distance; the whole store heard…

Dear Mrs. Hall,
Dear Mrs. Hall,
I read your blog post, FYI (if you're a teenage girl) this morning at the recommendation of two really lovely people who shared it on Facebook. They agreed wholeheartedly with your position and, to a degree, I do as well.
We have teenage sons, and so naturally there are quite a few pictures of you lovely ladies to wade through. Wow – you sure took a bunch of selfies in your pajamas this summer! Your bedrooms are so cute! Our eight-year-old daughter brought this to our attention, because with three older brothers who have rooms that smell like stinky cheese, she notices girly details like that.
I think the boys notice other things. For one, it appears that you are not wearing a bra.
I get it – you're in your room, so you're heading to bed, right? But then I can't help but notice the red carpet pose, the extra-arched back, and the sultry pout. What's up? None of these positions is one I naturally assume before sleep, this I know.
Teenage girls should definitely NOT post compromising photos of themselves on social media sites.
Before I continue, let me say that you appear to have lovely, fun-loving, well-managed sons and one cutie-patootie of a daughter. I feel as if you wrote this with a pure heart filled with concern for your boys and the girls that are growing up with them.
I know a thing or two about the dynamics of a large family tree and as the mother of four boys and one teenage girl, I feel doubly qualified to share my opinion of your letter. It occurred to me to write this in the comments section of your post, but I thought it more consistent to just go ahead and use you as a platform for my opinion the same way you exploited the teenage female friend(s) of your sons.
Let's start there. With that.
It feels as if you know these girls personally. Austin is a big place, but you seem like the kind of mom who would know their children's friends and taking into consideration the sharing of photos, it's an easy leap. Did you contact the girl or girls mentioned to share your disappointment personally or was it more expedient and humiliating to just lay them bare on the pages of your blog?
Perhaps you know their parents. The specific examples you use, sexy posing in pajamas without a bra and posing in a towel, would trouble most any adult. And yet, I wonder, did the parents of this girl (or girls) actually see your letter? Did this missile meet its mark? Did you reach out to them first, before hitting 'publish'?
As I said before, I believe your concern is true and legitimate, but you make no mention of any action on your part that fulfills the intent of your words. Setting your son up to explain this to a girl he has media-blocked accomplishes what? "My mom made me do it." The measure of your meaning is completely lost. And therefore, so is your motive for writing this … which is to bring about change, right? Not to just go on a non-specific, self-righteous rant about how your sons are better than their scantily clad counterparts? I certainly hope your sons and mine never do anything so scandalous as to go braless.
But if they do … when they do …
And so, in our house, there are no second chances, ladies. If you want to stay friendly with the Hall men, you'll have to keep your clothes on, and your posts decent. If you try to post a sexy selfie, or an inappropriate YouTube video – even once – you'll be booted off our on-line island.
I know that sounds harsh and old-school, but that's just the way it is under this roof for a while. We hope to raise men with a strong moral compass, and men of integrity don't linger over pictures of scantily clad high-school girls.
Wow. No second chances.
On your About Me page you say, "In my current role at All Saints PCA, I get to combine so many of my heart's true loves: writing to the saints, cheering on the church, ransacking God's Word, teaching, gathering, and walking with women in all stages of life and faith – reminding them that Jesus loves them. I couldn't enjoy it one drop more."
Banished from the Island of Hall for an indiscretion and blackballed for life. That would totally remind me that Jesus loves me.
You close with this:
Will you trust me? There are boys out there waiting and hoping for women of character. Some young men are fighting the daily uphill battle to keep their minds pure, and their thoughts praiseworthy.
You are growing into a real beauty, inside and out.
Act like her, speak like her, post like her.
I agree that our boys deserve to have women of character in their lives.
And so, Mrs. Hall, I offer you your own advice: Act like her. Speak like her. Post like her.
I wish we were friends (to discuss this face-to-face),
Mrs. Landsberger
Twenty-something White Girls Shaking that Ass
Yesterday I read at least three "open letters" regarding the twerkarific performance on the VMAs. One to Miley, one to a daughter about Miley, and one to Miley's mom.
I read an article that blamed the performance on feminism.
I read an article that called it out for what it was, terribly executed.
I saw Mika Whatshername say that we have an expectation [of wholesomeness] when we turn on MTV programming. Okaaaayyy.
I saw Mika Whatshername spin totally out of control and get adjective diarrhea. Irritable Thesaurus Syndrome?
Then I saw the Country Music Somethingorother on Facebook ask for fans' two cents. And boy did they pay up.
Ummmmmmm …. y'all.
How many open letters did you write to the Purrfect Angelz or their mothers regarding their disgusting-drug-induced-satan-possessed-slutastic-mentally-ill-spectacle when this came out EIGHT YEARS AGO? (VIDEO)
How many synonyms for degrading did you use to describe it? It was on the charts for about eight months and made it all the way to the number 2 spot in 2006. Right behind Jesus Take the Wheel by Carrie Underwood. It was nominated for CMT Video of the Year, Male Video of the Year, and Hottest Video of the Year.
And if public ass shaking is a result of feminism, why did feminist groups write letters opposing the video?
And how about the inspiration behind it? Offensive?
We were hanging out at the Wild Horse Saloon in Nashville, and my buddy Rob was bartending. We were poor songwriters, so we'd go in there and get free beer. [laughs] Me, Dallas and Randy were hanging out there just cutting up and cracking jokes, watching this girl on the dancefloor who had this huge butt. [laughs] It looked like somebody stuffed a beach ball in her pants. So we got to laughing at this girl — she was drunk as hell, just completely wasted and having the time of her life. She didn't care who was looking; she didn't care who she bumped into. So we started popping one-liners, and we threw out this word, 'badonkadonk.' And a minute later, we said, 'Honky tonk badonkadonk — hell yeah, we've gotta write that!' So we wrote that song in just about an hour but spent half that time just laughing. And it turned out to be the best damn joke any of us had ever told!
I can't really find any of your objections from back then, so maybe you could link me up.
But thanks for the hundreds of YouTube videos of your children singing and and dancing to the tune. Adorable.
There's a lesson in Miley's performance for our daughters, but it has little to do with objectification and everything to do with double standards.
The Upside of Being a 44 Year Old Nomad
There's a lasting pain that comes with moving out of one home and into another, a loss not quite like any other. It lacks the luxury of permanence that death provides and exists in a crooked orbit throwing off hot stars of guilt every so often for never quite making your way back like you promised.
Not for lack of want, but because of … life.
I always liked relay races when I was a kid. The passing of the beanbag. You run your leg of the race as fast as you can, eyes fixed on the scuffed orange traffic cone as you make it around and head back towards your cheering team. It's exciting. It's a full throttle sprint up and back, to the end of the line where you collapse in the warm grass.
I've felt like that for the last ten years. Grabbing the bean bag and running running, but every time I was almost home instead of taking my seat at the end of the line, I'd grab the next bag and take off again. Running. Always running. Always almost home.
It starts to sink in, eventually, that you may never get to rest. It's a test of mettle, that race, and when you finally commit to the next lap, someone places hurdles on the track. But you keep running …
And then a day like today happens.
A day comes along when you realize that it was all worth it. Every step, every turn, every exhausting moment becomes a victory because each lap brought you closer to someone new. Brought me closer to you. Maybe we were neighbors or had kids in class together or maybe we found each other through our shared stories. Maybe every single step has been as it should have been because without each one, true or misguided, I might have missed out on you.
I'm 44 years old today and have never felt so incredibly blessed to be surrounded by so many beautiful human beings.
You make me possible.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Meh Behavior
From the first chapter, "Man":
"A certain feeling comes from throwing your good life away, and it is one part rapture. Or so it seemed for now, to a woman with flame-colored hair who marched uphill to meet her demise."
And so begins FLIGHT BEHAVIOR by Barbara Kingsolver.
It is love at first sight and as Dellarobia opens the curtains on her life (where she's going, what she's doing, the pinch of her second-hand cowboy boots) I immediately invest. Everything about her is absolutely real to me. I follow her up the hill; feel the stab of each of her doubts and the thrill of her hopes. I let her cast the colors of everyone in her life without flinching. We're friends now.
But then this thing happens. She gets halfway to her destination and encounters something unexplainable. An intense orange glow in the trees. A wildfire? No. The sun rising over the hill? No. It's otherworldly, so frightening and ominous that she deserts her plan and flees to the safety of home.
And … I lost interest.
Despite writing that lifted me from my chair and placed me in another woman's life (in an instant), writing so authentic to the rural experience and attitudes thereof, I kind of just rolled over, meh, finished the chapter and put the book down.
I am sick of plot. I am bored with mysteries. I have no use for anything paranormal. And if it comes down to me decoding a metaphor for God or death or enlightenment, I'm out. I've got plenty of patience for drama, however, and an open mind when it comes to morality, just don't make me go back up that hill with Della to figure out what the orange glow is and then make it our mission to do something to, with, or about it. Keep telling me about her neighbors, the one with the kids whose names are misspelled. Or her mother-in-law because she reminds me of Frances. Help Della sort out her depressing life while I watch and cheer for her, but let's not go all Pelican Brief up in here.
Your friend,
Have I become too lazy for literature? I fear I have. Or maybe my vision was clouded by Rules of Civility. The twists and turns of relationships, the coincidences, the revelations, that's what I want—people doing things to, with, or about each other. Surely, I'm not the only one. It's possible to execute the 8-point arc without stumbling upon murder, aliens, or hidden treasure, isn't it?
Can an ordinary life, on paper, hold water? And if not, why am I writing this at all? Existential crisis? Meh.

H1N1 Vaccination or notJul 30, 2009 I have been following the news but haven't seen anything as to whether healthy, but positive folks should get the vaccine. Or should we just follow the recommendations by age group for the general population? |
Response from Dr. YoungHi and thanks for your post. Yes, positives should are recommended to receive the H1N1 influenza vaccination-- since we operate on the assumption that having HIV compromises the immune system. Should it not be forgotten, the same recommendation applies for vaccination for the regular seasonal flu. Hope this helps. BY | ||||||||||

The Christmas season is normally a joyous occasion, but not for Old Gentleman Gray. He was sad and lonely and had lost hope of ever feeling differently. It was Christmas Eve when he was visited by a beautiful, heavenly messenger who filled him with warmth and joy as she shared with him the secret of how to be happy. The effect that this experience had on Old Gentleman Gray not only changed him, but was also felt throughout the village, right down to the tiniest of birdies who twittered, as if they could say, 'If you want to be happy, give something away.'

The banks and building societies want your savings cash and are using every trick in the book to get it. But experts warn against being blinded by introductory bonuses and to review old cash individual savings accounts (ISAs). Last year's best buy is likely to be this year's also-ran.
Only a few weeks are left before the new tax year starts on 6 April. Looking at the current headline rates, there's not much in it – a mere 0.35 per cent separates the top five instant access ISAs. Where the gap widens, however, is on the bonus element.
"At one end of the scale the bonus on the Barclays Golden ISA 3 is just 1 per cent, whereas with the latest deals from Santander and Halifax, it accounts for a very hefty 2.8 per cent and 2.5 per cent respectively of the overall rate," says Andrew Hagger of Moneynet.co.uk.
While this is no problem for savvy savers happy to switch their ISA as soon as the bonus period expires, any hesitation will leave you stuck with a pitiful return on your cash. It could also mean an account offering a better initial return could actually leave you worse off in the long run.
Take the Santander Flexible ISA (issue 3): this pays a healthy 3.3 per cent interest, and if you were to invest the full cash allowance of £5,340 for the new 2011-12 tax year, you would earn £176.22 over 12 months. When the 2.8 per cent bonus falls away, however, two months' worth of interest on that lump sum is a paltry £4.45, bringing the total earned over 14 months to £180.67. In comparison, the Barclays Golden ISA 3 pays 3.25 per cent and after 12 months the interest would be only £173.55, but once the 1 per cent bonus expires, two months' interest at £20.03 brings the running total to £193.58.
These figures should serve as a warning if you have yet to move your money away from one of last year's top ISAs and are coming up to the end of your bonus period. Some of the best buys from March 2010 are set to nosedive when the 12-month bonus period is up. Santander's Flexible ISA will fall from 3.5 per cent to just 0.5 per cent and other accounts are following suit, with Barclays Golden ISA customers facing a 1 per centage point drop from 3.06 to 2.06 per cent. The Nationwide e-ISA, which paid 2.75 per cent last year, is also due to drop by 1 per centage point at the end of June.
If you want to open a new account, be warned that some of these bonuses are getting even bigger – Nationwide's new e-ISA will face a big drop this year with a 1.35 per cent bonus taking the shine off the headline 3.1 per cent rate, fixed until 31 July 2012.
Beyond last year's top accounts, others could now be paying as little as 0.01 per cent as with the Nova ISA Direct from Newcastle BS. Some are offering marginally more at 0.1 per cent, including the Halifax ISA Saver, Santander Easy ISA, West Bromwich BS Easy Access ISA and Virgin Money Cash ISA.
"The rates on variable ISAs currently range between 0.01 per cent and 3.35 per cent. On this year's allowance of £5,100 that is the difference between 51p in annual interest and £274," says Michelle Slade of comparison site Moneyfacts.co.uk.
With so many accounts languishing on low rates, it's vital to find out what rate your existing ISAs are on. This can be easier said than done with many providers using similar names for different accounts to make it that little bit more difficult, but new rules require providers to write to customers before a bonus expires.
If you know your money is struggling, switch to a better rate by finding an account which permits transfers. Not all do and, indeed, some of the highest-paying accounts don't. The top accounts tend to include a temporary bonus, so remember you will probably need to transfer the cash again once that expires.
"Since the Bank of England decimated interest rates in 2008, using bonuses has been the way that most cash ISAs have been structured," says Dan Clayden from independent financial adviser Clayden Associates. These accounts prey on investors' inertia so people have got to be prepared to give themselves time if they want to move to another account."
At the moment, the best buys accepting transfers are the Nationwide e-ISA mentioned above, the Halifax ISA Direct Reward (which pays 3 per cent including a 2.5 per cent bonus for 12 months) and the Kent Reliance 2012 Bonus Cash ISA, which pays 2.87 per cent including a 2.12 per cent bonus until 30 June 2012.
Transferring is relatively straightforward. You can contribute to only one cash ISA in any tax year, but existing ISA holdings can be moved to another provider as often as you like. If you have old ISA money on a rubbish rate, simply move it to another bank offering a more attractive rate, but never simply withdraw the money as you need to follow the correct procedure. Your new provider will pass on the relevant paperwork and arrange the transfer which should take no longer than 15 days to complete.

Janis Hickey
Janis was diagnosed with Graves' disease and thyroid eye disease in 1984, an experience that led her to set up the BTF in 1991. She was BTF's volunteer National Coordinator until 2001 when she left her job at Leeds University and became employed as Director of the BTF. In 1996 Janis was presented with a Yorkshire Woman of Achievement Community Award for having set up the BTF.
Janis says, 'Stepping back from the day-to-day tasks it's very interesting to see how far we have travelled since 1991. When BTF was in its infancy patient support groups were few and far between, and there was quite a gap between patients' and doctors' perspectives. I'd like to think that we have played a part in bridging that gap, in the thyroid world at least!'
Cheryl McMullan
Cheryl began working at BTF in February 2008 as the Personal Assistant to Janis Hickey, the Director. Cheryl's role is often varied and extremely interesting juggling membership, office management, accounting and managing medical queries with never a dull moment.
Cheryl says, 'The office has a good team of both staff and volunteers. We are all kept very busy, but the atmosphere is great. I have worked in administration for most of my working life taking a break to have my three children. I find it very rewarding to work for the BTF and support people with this very complex disorder. I do not have a thyroid disorder, but in my time here I have learnt so much about the thyroid and find there is something new to learn everyday'.
Julia Priestley
After studying history at university, Julia trained and worked as a solicitor before taking a career break to have her children. She became involved with BTF initially as a volunteer in 2011 and is delighted to be helping the organisation with the varied and important work it does.
Liz Clegg
Liz previously worked in publishing in Nottingham and Manchester before moving to Harrogate in 2004. After a break to start a family, Liz was keen to get back to work and to become involved with a local charity. She started working for the BTF in 2011, initially as a volunteer and now works part-time as an employee, coordinating fundraising and as the editor of the newsletter.
Helen Dawson
Helen joined the BTF in as a volunteer after hearing about its work from fellow choir members. Working part time as a registered nurse specialising in general medicine and cardiology, Helen is enjoying being involved in working for the BTF
We have many volunteers, both at our head office in Harrogate and further afield. If you would like to join us visit our volunteering page.
Jan Ainscough
Jan has been coming to help out in the BTF office since 2002. She originally started by helping to pack Christmas card orders. For a long time now she has been checking the bank statements against the membership database so that we know who has paid their subs. Jan has secondary hypothyroidism as a result of radiotherapy after a mastectomy 16 years ago. Jan says, 'It took many months for the blood test readings to confirm the condition, but it is reasonably under control'.
Angela Hammond
Angela is married and has two children, one step-daughter and seven grandchildren. She trained originally as a carpet designer, but after marriage worked with her husband in the family pharmacy and later ran a gift shop in Ilkley.
Angela is a member of Soroptimist International and has held office as Treasurer and President of both her club and her Region. She is also a member of Inner Wheel.
Since retiring Angela has renewed her interest in painting and drawing and now exhibits (and sometimes even sells!) her artwork. Other interests are her garden and family history, along with voluntary work for BTF.
Angela has volunteered at the BTF office since 2009 and has been a trustee since 2011. She is a former BTF Local Group Coordinator and a volunteer telephone contact and now works one day a week in the office.

Clarke failed to pay student loans
Claiming to have graduated from Oberlin College when she was still several credits shy of a degree isn't the only reason for Brooklyn congressional wannabe Yvette Clarke to be embarrassed.
Ten years after the councilwoman left the prestigious Ohio liberal arts school behind, state officials had to file a court lien against Clarke to get her to ante up more than $17,000 in student loans she had failed to pay, records show.
In July, 1996, the New York State Office of Higher Education, now known as the Higher Education Services Corp., went to court against Clarke to force her to start paying off the loans. "There was a judgment brought," confirmed Ronald Kermani, a spokesman for the state agency. "It was filed in the courts, and she has been paying directly through the courts since then." Clarke still owes $4,268, officials said.
Just why Clarke let the loan go unpaid for so long is unclear.

According to campaign aides and a biography posted on her Web site, Clarke held steady jobs from the time she left Oberlin in 1986 until she entered the city council in 2002, taking the seat formerly held by her mother, Una Tomlinson Clarke. Starting in 1987, the younger Clarke worked first at a neighborhood organization in East Flatbush, then as an aide for two different state legislators. In 1992, she became director of a "youth mentoring program" at the health service workers' union, Local 1199, a job she held until 1995 when she became director of a government-funded Bronx economic Empowerment Zone office.
Campaign spokesman Stefan Friedman declined to say why officials needed a court order to get Clarke to pay up. "Yvette Clarke redeemed her loan from the Higher Educational Services Corporation in 1996. Since then she has consistently paid down those loans in accordance with an agreed upon payment schedule," said Friedman in a written statement.
Clarke is lodged in a tight race against three other candidates for the Democratic nomination to represent the 11th Congressional District. Also running are state senator Carl Andrews, councilman David Yassky, and Chris Owens, son of Major Owens, the longtime congressman who is retiring.

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) recently announced the winners of three awards for 2008.
Twenty-Five Year Award
The Atheneum of New Harmony, Ind., designed by Richard Meier, was selected for the 2008 AIA Twenty-Five Year Award, given to architectural designs that have stood the test of time for 25 to 35 years. The building and its architect will be honored at the American Architectural Foundation's Accent on Architecture gala, to be held Feb. 22 in Washington, D.C. The Atheneum, located on the banks of the Wabash River at the edge of New Harmony, opened in October 1979. It serves as a visitors center and starting point for tours of the historic town, as well as a place for cultural and community events. Previously it received the Progressive Architecture Award in 1979 and an AIA Honor Award in 1982. Visit www.richardmeier.com/PROJECTS/Atheneum.html for images and a full project description.
Whitney M. Young Jr. Award
Norma Merrick Sklarek is the 2008 recipient of the Whitney M. Young Jr. Award, presented to an architect or architecturally oriented organization exemplifying the profession's responsibility toward current social issues. The award honors the noted civil rights leader and former head of the Urban League, who died in 1971. The 37th recipient of the award, Sklarek has had a life and career of many firsts. In 1950, she was the first African-American woman to graduate from Columbia University with a B.Arch in 1950, and the first African-American woman registered as an architect in the entire nation, according to the AIA; she became the first African-American fellow of the AIA in 1980. And in 1985, she was the first African-American woman to form and run an architecture firm. The award will be presented to Sklarek this May at the AIA convention in Boston.
Edward C. Kemper Award
Thomas L. McKittrick is the 2008 Edward C. Kemper Award winner, which recognizes individuals who contribute significantly to the profession of architecture through service to the institute. A practitioner, educator, and leader in emerging professional concerns, McKittrick has been dedicated to the AIA and his profession for more than 40 years. He served as president of the Houston chapter of the AIA in 1981 and as president of the Texas Society of Architects in 1984; he was also a national board member from 1989 to 1991 and vice president of the AIA national component in 1991. Currently he is professor emeritus at Texas A&M University.
