A Secret Weapon For left handed peopleThe Latin word for "left" is "sinister," which could also go into why nuns utilized to power young children to write with their suitable hands even whenever they had been left-handed.
We also are likely to expand out activites on encouraging famous lefties to be members with the Left Handers C lub.
An ideal illustration of your asked for source couldn't be identified on this server. This mistake was generated by Mod_Security.
A research because of the National Bureau of Economic Exploration floated the idea that left-handed Guys favor "divergent" thinking, a kind of creativeness in which the brain moves "from typical know-how into unexplored association." Possibly That is what it's going to take to build a Internet value approximated at $fifty seven billion.
A behavioral take a look at conducted in Scotland showed a correlation among left-handedness and humiliation. Those that had a dominant left hand answered they apprehensive more frequently about generating faults and were much more sensitive to criticism. All round, the research proposed that left-handed people are frequently more hesitant.
In fact, the analysis suggests that handedness could possibly be far more delicate than straightforward "dominant" or "recessive" characteristics–a whole host of genes may play significant roles.
Appropriate-handed people tended to position the zebra on the best facet of the box, whilst lefties place it over the left. That shows that left-handed people "implicitly" imagine "superior things is over the left and poor stuff is on the best," Casasanto suggests, as quoted by the Stanford Report
We have a tendency to think of suitable- or left-handed dominance regarding modern matters, like what hand we create with or use for The tv remote. But, it turns out, early human beings had been favoring just one or the other even five hundred,000 yrs back. Researchers have taken a check out Neanderthal tools and have more info found which the overwhelming majority of these present wear and tear in keeping with right-handed use. Many of the instruments were being Employed in the cleansing of hides, which the person would typically grip with their teeth and rake using a Resource to scrub.

Left-handers are more likely to have speech problems and Mastering disabilities, and they have a tendency to tumble in the lowest percentage of scores on math and reading examination more normally than righties.
What's Primarily remarkable is these genes all relate to the development of left-correct asymmetry in your body and brain, making a potent case for correlation among the development of this symmetry and the development of handedness. Disrupting any of these genes could lead to significant Bodily asymmetry, like situs inversus
A person who is left-handed principally takes advantage of his or her left hand, additional so than the proper hand; a left-hander will probably utilize the left hand for tasks for example personal care, cooking, and so forth.
Each gene has the prospective for mutation–the more mutations somebody has in Anyone direction (toward proper handedness or left handedness) the greater probable they are to utilize that hand as their dominant hand, or Therefore the scientists speculate.

For the most part, I have been one of those people who sees the main significance of Memorial Day as being the start of summer.
For me and a lot of others, whether or not they would admit it publicly, Memorial Day has been little more than a nice three-day weekend – a good time to sleep in late, get outdoors, grill some brats and maybe have a family reunion or go for a swim.
I know the history of Memorial Day. Somewhere, squirreled back in the file cabinet of my brain, I recall hearing people call it Decoration Day.

Over time, Pot Noodle adverts have treated us to 'The Lambshank Redemption' (a parody of Stephen King's inmate drama, with the classic phrase "Spanking gorgeous!"), 'The Moussaka Rap' ("I'm making vegetarian moussaka with cheese from Osaka"), and the hardworking men and women of the fictional Crumlin Noodle Mine (Pot Noodles are manufactured in Croespenmaen, near Crumlin, Wales, with 155 million units produced annually). So whether you line your kitchen cupboards with Pot Noodles or wouldn't eat one if your life depended on it, you have to admit that the brand is honest, innovative and has a good sense of humour.

Pot Noodle: 'It's dirty and you want it'
The best way to begin this brand spotlight would be by pointing out that Pot Noodle is the most recognisable, and surely the most popular, instant noodle snack in the UK, whilst simultaneously the most hated brand of all time. According to a 2004 consumer poll, the majority of Brits simply couldn't stand the product, though whether this referred to the foodstuff itself, the advertising or its reputation of being not so much junk food as just somehow a bit mucky remains unclear. Granted, seven years have passed since this research was carried out, but no other brand springs to mind that might claim its place if the survey were conducted a second time.
So, how can something that's loathed by so many people remain on the shelves of every single supermarket and the majority of corner shops throughout the nation? The answer is beautifully simple: by using this public disgust to its advantage.
A relatively young brand, Pot Noodle was launched in 1979 by Golden Wonder, instant noodles themselves having been invented in 1958 by Taiwanese-Japanese businessman Momofuku Ando. It's almost praiseworthy how the UK can take something basic and filling (albeit dried and pallid) and make it… well… wonderfully tacky. China, for example, has a few dominant brands of instant noodle with lovely names, such as Ting Yi ('Master Kong'), Hwa-Long ('Chinese Dragon') and Bai-xiang '(White Elephant'), whereas in Ethiopia, the trade name Indomie is referred to as 'Lehulum Tesmami', meaning 'suitable for all'. All of these will undoubtedly be eaten with at least a little decorum and most likely function as a meal accompaniment rather than a quick and slimy belly filler. And instead of a chintzy porcelain bowl with chopsticks in a calm family-based setting, our nation gobbles limp, dripping ribbons from a plastic pot, emitting vulgar slurps as the rehydrated peas pop between our molars. Still, the container's recyclable and there's little water usage involved, as you don't have to do any washing up, so it's not all bad.
Over the last few years, Pot Noodle has truly embraced its reputation of bordering on the sinful, and this has been blatantly portrayed through use of overtly smutty situations. One advert followed a seemingly straight-laced man as he prowls the streets in search of a purveyor of the forbidden snack, and another sees the shooting of a backstreet adult movie, the female star going wild with a classic Chicken and Mushroom. But it wasn't so much the content that some found offensive, it was the graphic strapline that tipped the whole campaign over the edge: Pot Noodle claimed to be 'The slag of all snacks'.
And yet, the brand's marketing department didn't stop there. Instead they produced posters showing their product resting next to a seedy neon sign buzzing 'Hurt me you slag'. Situated on bus stops, high streets and billboards, these were swiftly withdrawn once banned by the Advertising Standards Authority; a sad day in Pot Noodle history, but good publicity nonetheless.
Possibly the most intense Pot Noodle campaign featured a man joining his friends in a bar, but being met with surprise and disgust when they notice his badly concealed 'Pot Noodle horn', an oversized manifestation of his feelings toward the snack. You can't help but love the guy's dedication when, having accidentally knocked a woman off her seat with his instrument of passion, he boldly declares that "It's big and brassy and I'm going to blow it!" This advert soon got shunted on the TV schedule to after the 9pm watershed.
Over time, Pot Noodle adverts have treated us to 'The Lambshank Redemption' (a parody of Stephen King's inmate drama, with the classic phrase "Spanking gorgeous!"), 'The Moussaka Rap' ("I'm making vegetarian moussaka with cheese from Osaka"), and the hardworking men and women of the fictional Crumlin Noodle Mine (Pot Noodles are manufactured in Croespenmaen, near Crumlin, Wales, with 155 million units produced annually). So whether you line your kitchen cupboards with Pot Noodles or wouldn't eat one if your life depended on it, you have to admit that the brand is honest, innovative and has a good sense of humour.
Pot Noodle currently comes in about fifteen flavours. Whilst Beef and Tomato and Chow Mein have remained popular, some have been fleeting due to either lower than expected sales or limited availability, such as Bacon Sizzler and the posh-sounding Lamb and Mint. Then there are the seasonal editions, namely Turkey and Stuffing and even Christmas Dinner, ideal for slovenly bachelors who can then claim they prepared a traditional Yuletide meal. A responsible choice is Doner Kebab, as it's a relatively healthy alternative to its far fattier namesake, albeit an awful lot soggier.
Personally I love Pot Noodles; any meal that can be prepared with nothing more than hot water and a fork is alright in my books. But when I'm eating one, I can't stop myself from thinking about Lister in Red Dwarf when he shares his opinion on the brand: "I've been to a parallel universe, I've seen time running backwards, I've played pool with planets and I've given birth to twins, but I never thought in my entire life… I'd taste an edible Pot Noodle."

Good article! - I agree, a brand that everyone knows but few admit to loving (a dirty secret...)ReplyDelete
hopefully Kabuto Noodles (www.kabutonoodles.com - launched jan 2011)is going to change the perception of instant noodles as something that has to be grim - Wagamama etc...are huge & tasty but instant noodles are still the slag of all snacks, time for a change!

Kate Moss In 'Playboy' — Get Her Exact, Sexy Glow
Kate Moss looks sexy and stunning on the cover of the 60th anniversary issue of 'Playboy,' on sale Dec. 6. Of course, her skin was tan and glowing and we're sharing her exact tanning products below!
Kate Moss, 39, relied on St.Tropez Tanning & Skin Finishing Expert Nichola Joss to give her a picture perfect glow all over her body for the sexy photo shoot. Find out how she got her flawless finish below.
Kate Moss' 'Playboy' Tan — Get Her Exact Glow
Since so much of Kate was going to be shown in the shoot, it was vital that her entire body was streak-free and golden. For her luminous look, Nichola actually started prepping a week before the shoo!
[hl_youtube src="http://youtu.be/Y_DdjwBF2es" link="http://youtu.be/Y_DdjwBF2es" text="Kate Moss "Playboy" Photos Revealed"]
A week before, moisturising and exfoliating treatments made sure her skin was moisturized and ready to the tanner. Use St. Tropez Tan Enhancing Body Polish and Body Moisturiser. "It's so important to hydrate as much as possible before a big shoot because dry skin will look dull in front of a camera," Nichola says.
Five days before the photo shoot, Nichola used St.Tropez Spray Tan for an even base. Then, two days before the shoot, he applied the St.Tropez Self Tan Classic Bronzing Mousse using the applicator mitt to keep the skin looking fresh. An extra layer of the St.Tropez Self Tan Classic Bronzing Mousse was applied around the inner thighs, waist, cleavage and then down her back and arms to add dimension and contour her body.
Finally, Nichola used the St.Tropez Gold Illuminator on her arms and legs to make them appear longer and leaner, plus on the décolletage to accentuate her bone structure. The illumination and contouring of the formula made sure her curves were highlighted in the lights during the shoot.
Do you like staying tan all year round, HollywoodLifers?

100% Made in America American Flags near Chester VT 05143
A national sign that goes by the nicknames "The Stars and Stripes", "Old Glory", and also "The Star-Spangled Banner", the American flag is one of the very well-known icons in the globe today. The American Flag is the third oldest of the National Standards of the world – older than the Union Jack of Britain or the Tricolor of France.
Who designed the American Flag?
What does the American Flag represent?
Why is the American Flag important to American culture?
Where can I buy American Flags?
Who created the American Flag?
According to prominent tales, the first American flag was made by Betsy Ross, a Philadelphia seamstress who was an acquaintance of George Washington. In May 1776, so the story goes, General Washington and also two representatives from the Continental Congress saw Ross at her upholstery store and also revealed to her a sketch design of the flag.
In 1777, the Continental Congress passed an act that gave our country an official flag. In those days, the flag was not the like we know it today. As opposed to the 50 white stars in the field of blue, there was a circle of 13 white stars to stand for the 13 colonies. The act stated, "Resolved, that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red as well as white; that the Union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a brand-new constellation."
What does the American Flag stand for?
The flag first flew over thirteen states along the Atlantic seaboard, with a population of some 3 million people. Today it flies over fifty states, expanding across the continent, and also over great islands of the 2 seas; as well as many owe it allegiance.
The flag is composed of 13 alternating red and white straight stripes representing the very first thirteen British colonies that proclaimed freedom from the Kingdom of Great Britain, and became the initial states in the United States. This blue area of the flag is called the Union.
The importance of the Flag, as quoted from Washington: "We take the stars from Heaven, the red from our mother country, dividing it by white red stripes, thus showing that we have divided from her, and the white stripes will go down to posterity standing for Liberty."
It incarnates for all the human race the spirit of liberty and the marvelous belief of human liberty; not the liberty of unrestraint or the liberty of license, yet a unique principle of equal opportunity for life, freedom as well as the quest of joy, safeguarded by the strict and also lofty principles of task, of sanctity and of justice, as well as possible by obedience to self-imposed regulations.
It personifies the essence of nationalism. Its spirit is the spirit of the American nation. Its history is the background of the American individuals. Decorated upon its folds in letters of living light are the names and fame of our heroic dead, the Fathers of the Republic that dedicated after its altars their lives, their fortunes and their spiritual honor. Twice told tales of national honor and also glory collection heavily regarding it. Ever triumphant, it has arised triumphant from 8 great national disputes. It flew at Saratog, at Yorktown, at Palo Alto, at Gettysburg, at Manila bay, at Chateau-Thierry, at Iwo Jima. It demonstrates to the immense growth of our national borders, the development of our natural deposits, as well as the superb structure of our civilization. It prophesises the accomplishment of popular government, of public and also religious freedom and also of nationwide sanctity throughout the globe.
Why is the American Flag essential to American society?
The American flag is really important because it represents the independent government as described under the United States Constitution. The flag also symbolizes the different achievements of the nation as well as the pride of its individuals.
This national symbol advises people, not just in the Vermont state, but throughout the whole USA concerning the various important aspects of the Declaration of Independence. It is a complex symbol, which means the liberty as well as rights of Americans. Floating from the lofty pinnacle of American idealism, it is a beacon of withstanding hope.
It is the indicator made visible of the strong spirit that has actually brought liberty and success to the people of America. It is the flag of all us alike. Let us accord it honor as well as commitment.
Where can I find American Flags?
You most likely already discovered this, yet there are a lot of areas where you can obtain American flags. Nonetheless, it is important to note that the flag you are wanting to get ought to be "Made in United States of America".
Based upon data, Americans invest over 5.3 million USD on imported flags yearly – most of which are made in China. Probably a lot more perplexing is that throughout 2001, in the wave of patriotism that washed over America after 9/11, Americans bought $52 million US dollars in imported flags. The flag ought to signify the blood, sweat, and tears of American people that brought this nation into existence, not our debt to China and the death of the American manufacturing field.
The flag represents nationwide freedom and also prominent sovereignty. It is not the flag of a ruling family or royal house, but of the thousands free people welded right into a nation, one and also indivisible, united not just by community of passion, but by essential unity of sentiment and also objective; a nation identified for the clear specific conception of its residents alike of their responsibilities as well as their benefits, their obligations as well as their civil liberties.
Have a little pride, cough up a few more money, and also buy an American flag made by Americans in the United States

Addie 3 Year Old Stats:
WEIGHT: 32 pounds (63%) (hasn't gained any weight for about 5-6 months; same as Carter at this age)
Dr. J said Addie was off the charts across all five areas of development and her speaking was on the level of a four and half year old. Her left tube was still in place and right tube was in the canal dislodged. She did see fluid in the right ear so we started drops 3X a day and Dr. said to stay out of water for a few days. In efforts to keep Addie on the least amount of medicine as needed but to keep her allergies well-controlled, we are adding on Omnaris nose spray for one week in efforts to take off Singular (this was our original plan but at a young two years old, Addie wasn't too interested in nose spray a year ago.) If this goes smoothly, we will transition Addie from Advair 2 puffs 2X/day to Ventolin 1 puff 2X a day for a few weeks. (I didn't know but the recommendations to only use Advair in children for the shortest time possible and every 3 months try to transition off to Ventolin.) Dr. said this is the perfect time in the summer when allergies are at their lowest levels. Eventually if all these little transitions keep everything under control, we may try to transition the Zyrtec to 1X/day or 2 half doses or down even more. We will see. Otherwise, her night time allergy cough has been well-controlled for the most part over the last 6-9 months.
After 2 big shots, we immediately headed to Addie's swim lesson (so much for the "no swimming" doctor's orders from thirty minutes ago.) I know I am such a bad mom... but doc ultimately said, "OK."
And since her ears were already wet, we decided to do our third dinner in a row at our pool and I am SOOOO glad we did... because something clicked on this particular night!!!!
Addie finally gave her GOGGLES a chance and with the unbelievable help from her big brother, she realized she could actually see under water if she wore them. The started holding hands facing each other and would both go underwater and look at each other. She couldn't get enough of it. The three of us were screaming with excitement as Addie finally learned how to swim ten feet at a time completely under water by herself. Carter and Addie would hold hands jump from the stairs together and I would gently hold Addie's other hand to prevent Carter from accidentally pulling her down and they would really swim together. All night it was AGAIN, AGAIN!! ONE MORE TIME.... ONE MORE TIME!!!! I was one proud momma and I am sure our neighbors heard us celebrating!

I should be tutoring, but apparently students are feeling super confident about this semester right now and do not want their appointments. Thus, I blog. So lately God's really been teaching me about the importance and necessity of encouragement-as friends, family, believers-and I have to say it's been humbling. I could definitely be a better encourager; I'm working on it. However, with this lesson has come a backlash that's been bothering me. I'm going to seek advice here knowing that you faithful few who read this will not respond, but hey, a girl can dream.
My dilemma is this: When is it ok to give up?
I don't mean, I feel like giving up on life. I mean that I'm getting exhausted and discouraged by continually reaching out to someone who doesn't want to meet you halfway. Sometimes I'm that girl who when faced with encouragement during a trying time says, "thanks" then still feels the same way for a bit, BUT I acknowledge that a well-meaning soul cared about me. It's just really hard sometimes caring and not feeling like it matters. I know it does, but what do you do when you don't feel like it does? I honestly want to cut my losses and find somewhere else to invest because quite frankly, this is somewhat painful. But I never want to be guilty of giving up on someone! Have you ever been here? What happens next? A dear friend of mine actually counseled me to step back and see if said drainer of motivation cherishes me at all, but I don't know how to do that because I'm afraid that I already know the answers doing that will reveal-that I don't really matter to them and I care a whole lot more than they do. Being a good friend is hard. I know that, but it's possible. So should should I continue trying to be a good friend and suffer silently, or suck it up and move on because they can't seem to comprehend how to be a good friend? You're probably thinking a. is the valid option. Fine. I'll accept it, but how do I deal with it? I want to be an encouragement, I really do (yes, I am fully aware that this post is the antithesis of encouragement [I promise I will actually be encouraging once I purge this from my system]) but in order to be successful at it, I think I might have to let this go. Unfortunate, this is.

Sounders, Make-A-Wish grant soccer player's dream
Xander Bailey, 18, starts for MLS club in friendly vs. Tottenham
Xander Bailey once dreamed of taking to the pitch as a professional soccer player.
And thanks to Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Seattle Sounders, his dream became a reality on Saturday night.
Bailey, an 18-year-old who suffers from Cystic Fibrosis, had his wish of suiting up for the MLS club granted. Not only did he suit up, though, he started the club's friendly against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday night and got a shot on goal in the opening seconds.
Watch here:
He was even signed to a contract. Two thumbs up for the Sounders.

Fap, yeah!!! Dragon Age 2 is my new girlfriend!!!!
This message is coming directly from Dagobah. I sat down today and spent some quality time with the "Dragon Age II" demo. Holy Skywalker's panties I fapped. After, not during, but that is beside the point. I will not tell you a lie about that. It was amazing! A short, but adequate glimpse of what is going to come, Dragon Age II looks to be exactly what I was hoping for and more! Hot chicks, dragons and slaughtering the crap out of filthy enemies. Who doesn't want all of those things in their life? Crazy people, that's who. Not to mention, the hot rogue chick more than implied that she would provide me ample opportunity to copulate with her. I know! Do the beast with two backs with a hot rogue chick! It's like my dreams are becoming real by the minute. Mind you the gameplay is different. It took a second to get used to, but I think it's going to pan out into a sequel that doesn't play like sequels. It's a beast of its own and a beautiful, cleavage clad beast it is. A story of an outcast that rises up to become a champion. Sound familiar? If you're anything like me, I know it does. One day you're a kind of small, handsome (in an intelligent warrior of the gaming realm sort of way) fantasy loving individual that for whatever reason in their ignorance the chicks of this day and age just don't get; then out of nowhere you are a champion. This game may as well be my biography. In a very non-literal sort of way. Forget trying to impress the girls out there. My time will be amply filled with this game for a good while. And oh, did I mention the hot rogue chick I'm going to have the sex with? This message has come to you directly from Dagobah.

Everybody faps...sometimes.
This message has been sent direct from Dagobah. I will not try to sugar coat this post. It is exactly what it seems to be. I have grown weary of those who try to deny the basic human instinct to maintain one's self...by fapping. I do it. You do it. We all do it. Let's just call it what it is. Fun and important. It's a magical moment we can share with ourselves to make the world a little brighter. The mere existence of Lara Croft, Princess Zelda, Bayonetta and Lindsey Lohan (okay, maybe not Lindsey Lohan) prove that we must fap. We must! So let us unite and shout to the skies with our heads held high. "We fap and we are proud!" This message has been sent direct from Dagobah.

Black Ops...It has arrived with a monkey killing vengance.
This message is direct from Dagobah. I'm writing this to celebrate the arrival of one of the most touted game releases of our generation. I probably don't even need to tell you what it is. The 'Call of Duty' franchise has dethroned 'Halo' and defends its crown with honor. 'Call of Duty: Black Ops' charged into the world with a release that could not be equaled. And for good reason. It is awesome. Who amongst us hasn't wanted to charge off the grid into enemy territory and kill commies from times past? I have. That is a sharp truth. Now, I have gotten the opportunity to do it. And it is sweet. Being put in the world of the history that never got written, toting glorious guns and shooting an uncountable number of enemies is exactly what I had hoped it would be. Vehicle play is nice to have back. There is nothing wrong with flying an attack chopper and blowing up everything in site. Or how about the Rolling Stones loaded boat scene? I will not lie. It made me want to fap. And I may have done just that. The online play is slick and pretty. It does not let its fans down. The details in this game are wonderful. In a level late in the campaign, I came on a room filled with caged monkeys. What was I to do? I needed to know if I could lay vengeance on these tiny primates, so I fired. The monkey fell back, deader than James when he tries to beat us at anything. I never thought I would be the type to gun down an innocent monkey, but when put in that situation, it turns out I was. Trent, the monkey killer is who I became. I guess this is just another testament to how war can change us all. This message has been sent Direct from Dagobah.

Halo. How it changed the world. Was it the right thing to do?
This message is coming to you directly from Dagobah. Nobody has any illusions to how 'Halo' changed the world of gaming. It single handedly made the Xbox what it is. It brought console gaming to a new level. I'll never forget riding in the back of a warthog letting rounds from my machine gun fly into helpless hoards of covenant filth. In a lot of ways, it changed my life and possibly made it better. My question is this. Was it worth it? Now, you have to sort through the masses to find anything that is not a first person shooter. Yes, I know other games exist, but the bulk of the big release titles are just trying to emulate what 'Halo' did for us. Don't get me wrong. Some achieve this and in the case of the 'Call of Duty' franchise surpass it. But, that can only bring so much solace when the rest try and fail time after time leaving us, the loyal followers very little console gaming options. Did 'Halo' do the right thing? That's something this video game Jedi cannot answer. This message has come to you directly from Dagobah.

1971: 10th - Murmur of the Heart
Murmur of the Heart (Le souffle au coeur) was written and directed by Louise Malle. The film tells a coming of age story about a 14-year-old boy who is growing up in bourgeois surroundings in France. At the beginning, the film shows the adventures of the boy in the school and his first sexual experience at a brothel. When the boy is found to have a heart murmur after a bout of scarlet fever, he goes with his mother to a sanatorium, where a series of circumstances lead to a sexual encounter.
The film definitely deals with several taboo topics at the time but with a humor, that while disarming, still causes one to reflect on what has happened. This is a film that gives you rich characters that actually 'think' before acting, instead of the horny slobs that we get in "Porky's." And while most will cringe at the movie's theme of incest, it's presented in a way not simply to exploit, but instead mutes its harshness. I appreciated that the film neither talked down to me and hit me over the head with the "message", nor was it an irresponsible "glamorizing" of the subject.
As is the case with independent films today, even though this movie premiered in 1971 at Cannes, it was nominated for Best Original Screenplay at the Oscars in 1973.
Other opinions:
"We have it on no less an authority than Leo Tolstoy that all happy families are the same, but each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. I am not quite sure, however, that Count Tolstoy had in mind a family like the one we meet in "Murmur of the Heart," Louis Malle's warm, human, very funny movie about incest. You will agree that this family, at least, is happy in its own way." - Roger Ebert
" Film is quintessentially French in its look at the awakening outlooks and sex imbroglios of a 14-year-old boy who likes to pass himself off as 15. Louis Malle lavishes insight, perhaps personal reminiscences, and unflagging rightness in atmosphere, character and observation to make this a richly comic, touching and incisive portrait of a young man in the French provincial city of Dijon in 1954. (Benoit) Ferreux has the vulnerability, warmth and witty outlook that give his young protagonist a human and recognizable quality. His mother is excellently drawn by (Lea) Massari, whose need for freedom will not allow her to give way to a demanding suitor. All others are excellent." - Variety

Our travel dreams are easier to attain if we plan carefully. Here are a few tips that can make travel more enjoyable.
Pack your suitcases the night before you leave on your trip. Make all the preparations prior to flying. Missing your flight is something you precious time and money.
Be flexible when choosing your vacation destination. While it can be fun to establish a routine by revisiting a favorite vacation spot, checking out new places is part of the fun of going on a trip. You can save money on a tight vacation budget.
Do not hope that an airline to cater to your whims when you as comfortable as necessary on a flight.If you think they will come in handy, a blanket and a pillow to be comfortable while flying, you should bring your own on board with you. Don't go hungry! Bring your own healthy snacks to make sure you have some food that you enjoy during the flight.
Sign yourself up for a travel price monitor. This allows you to enter your destination and the prices of places you to any price change. When the price for airfare or lodging meets your expectations, the website will alert you of the change through email. This saves you from having to check the site daily.
There are many pet friendly hotels and even have facilities for them as you head out to explore.These may include cat spas and doggie day care for your pets. Do not be intimidated by the experience and bring your pet along – just ask if it is okay before you book.
Keep track of your most important information and items close to you at all times. Do not carry a bag with easy access to people near you that could easily take your stuff. These are all points to be considered when selecting the bag for your travels.
These sheets can be a flat surface to put cards on or coloring books.
Check the expiration dates on when your passports. Many countries have specific rules in place about passport expiration. Many will not let you entry into the country if your passport expires in a certain window of time.
Cash in traveler's checks before shopping or dining. Be safe and make sure you get local currency before buying so that you lose money with these traveller's checks.
You can't really lose something written on the mirror using a dry-erase marker because it's hard to overlook.You can do this because dry-erase markers and easily wipe off of mirrors with just a little bit of tissue paper.
Pack a few small candles if you plan on staying in hotels during your hotel stay.This can make the scent of your room. It is relaxing and romantic, relaxing and could help you sleep easily.
Joyful anticipation is often the first step in creating a new travel plan. Bad advice may stop you from doing what you enjoy. Hopefully, the above advice will help you have your dream trip.

Girl Scouts - Columbia River Council, Inc.
Attn: Camp Arrowhead Support
9620 SW Barbur Blvd
Portland, OR 97219
Make sure your money is designated for Camp Arrowhead Support.
A few task forces have been set up to help get everything moving. They have a blog too. Check out: Camp Arrowhead at Wind Mountain Task Force Updates. Also, the nonprofit group Friends of Camp Arrowhead is moving along. However, they are not 501 (c) (3) yet, so donations to that group are not tax deductible.
On a sad note, during the Retirement Campout, some people decided to take more than just pictures. Lots of things from camp were pilfered. Here is a note from Calliope (Kathleen McDade) about the theft:
Okay, I'm putting on my former camp director hat now to make a speech. Items are missing from Arrowhead.
I know, some of them were removed by Council staff. I have been assured that the items are safe (although I'm not happy about the flagpole at Home Lake).
Other items apparently disappeared during the Retirement Party/Reunion weekend at the end of October. Missing items include blue tents, at least one large, plastic box of dishes and cooking equipment from a unit house, and several signs.
Needless to say, our CEO, Cynthia Hamilton is not happy about this. But beyond that, even if these items have sentimental value, they do have sentimental value to many of us, not just to you. For instance, unit house signs -- yes, these are very special. The artwork is unique. This artwork was actually used for many years in camp staff manuals as well. It has meaning for many people, and we want the signs to be there when the camp reopens.
Things like tents and kitchen equipment will be essential to the operation of the camp as well.
In short, we need it back. And even if you think you'd like to hold onto it until keeping the camp is final, it would be a show of good faith to just give it back now. We are trying to work as a team with council staff to keep the camp, and having things go missing doesn't help with that. If things were to go bad, I assure you that I and others would work to make sure that items with sentimental or historic value were preserved in some way.
If you have stuff or know where it is, you can return it with no questions asked -- either drop it off in the council's lobby during business hours, marked "Camp Arrowhead", or you can drop it on my front porch.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. (removes hat)
So, if you have anything, please return it. Because her next message is:
This was discussed again at the last Task Force meeting, and Cynthia said that if items are not returned, they will have to file a police report. We set a deadline of December 1 for getting the items returned. If you know anyone who might need this information, please pass it along.
Well, all you Arrowhead folk, have a great Thanksgiving!

1. Use colors that in general blend well with other colors on the rest of your blog. You want it to flow nicely. But you also want to add in colors that are NOT found anywhere else on your blog, so it pops out and leaves an image in your reader's mind after they navigate away. Many times I'll see a plain black and white blog, and people wonder why I don't remember which one is theirs. Give me a reason to want to remember your blog.
2. Decide what message you want your blog to send. Look at the first banner I've selected. The writer's blog is about Hawaii. When looking at it, you definitely get a Hawaii feel to it. The second one is for my other blog, where I draw and review video games. So I drew myself drawing a Tepig with the help of De Blob and Comrade Black. You can probably guess what the others are supposed to be about.
3. ALWAYS include your title. You want people to associate the title with the image.
4. NEVER use images you are not allowed to use. Do not upload a picture of Miley Cyrus unless it is allowed. Do not steal a picture someone else did.
5. Try not to sign the banner, even if it's just going to your blog. It's just tacky to have your name up there, in my opinion. ESPECIALLY if you are giving the banner to someone else to use-- let the blogger decide on how to thank you/advertise you. It's really distracting from the image, otherwise. It's not like a painting where you SHOULD sign it so no one takes credit for it.
Now me, I'm going to break my rule and not make a banner just yet. Mostly because I only made this blog an hour ago and it's quite late right now, haha.
Til then, see you later, my lovely Suckers! (Or should I call you guys Sucks? Hm. I'll think about that for a while.)


text:
Where I come from, there's a tradition/superstition that whatever you do on New Year's Day, you'll be doing all the year long--so best to focus on things you truly enjoy! Today, therefore, I'm eating delicious meals, sipping exquisite beverages, writing magnificent prose, reading a captivating book, watching an outstanding film, and devoting myself to husband and canines.
And blogging!

The iDOLM@STER Ep 12: Selfish Miki
Miki ditches practice after she lost all her enthusiasm to do well for her first live performance after Ritsuko reveals that she will never able to get into the Ryuuguu Komachi group. The Producers goes out to search for her and try to persuade her to return.
Miki was pretty selfish. It was her own fault that she misunderstood the producer ,which i quote from ep 8, "I can't answer that" for the reason she wasn't invited into the Ryuuguu Komachi group.
She wasted a lot of precious time but I wouldn't worry too much about her dancing routine because of her excellent memory. But still, it baffled my mind how she was complaining about 'lack of cute costumes', 'fame' and 'performance' when… um- hello, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE PREPARING FOR ONE RIGHT NOW!!! While I do like Miki's character, this is one of her biggest flaws which makes me annoyed with her.
I was actually shocked to hear that Miki is only 15. I thought she was like, seventeen or eighteen. O_____O;;; She doesn't look or act like a 15 years old at all (yes i know this is an anime BUT STILL, I've seen 15 years old characters portrayed differently…HECK SHE'S MODELLING WEDDING DRESSES!!!!
>_> Maybe it's supposed to be a flowergirl dress…)
The Producer was also partially at fault for having created the misunderstanding in the first place. What he should've done was tell her to wait, and explain to her AFTERWARDS. However even if he did, it might've ruined the enthusiasm that was born from the misunderstanding in the first place and to strive to do well for their routine.
Last but not least, I wasn't too surprised to see that Chihaya realized what was going on based on the Producer's bodylanguage and Miki's sudden disappearence. It was also professional of her to tell Miki the save the apologies for later and get back to work. Out of everyone in their group, Chihaya is by far the most mature and professional artist. She knows what she wants and what it takes to make it successful. Wasting time is not an option.

I asked the initial questions anyone would ask when presented with that news: Is it operable? (No) Is she doing chemo and radiation? (Yes) What is her prognosis? (I don't know) Cathy didn't know much more than that, as she'd only heard a few details from another sister of ours over lunch one day. I knew Margaret to be a pretty private person, so I didn't really feel comfortable asking her or anyone else for more information.
For some reason, the news really shook me. For Margaret to be sick, of all people, was just unfathomable. She was my age, a vegan and an athlete who did triathlons, for crying out loud! How does someone like that get sick? Add to that the fact that someone that intelligent should get a tumor in their brain of all places just seemed cruel. She and I were not the closest friends in college, but she had earned my respect. A quiet girl, she always struck me as the kind of person who made good choices in her life. Her brother, one year her senior, lived in my dorm, and we did a group project together in a class one semester. His demeanor was very much like his sister's, and he also gained my respect for his kindness and intelligence. The fact that he had to go through this made the situation even more difficult.
For the next couple months I dealt with the news without knowing any further details. I knew Margaret had to be fighting this with everything she had. In college, Margaret was the type of girl who, if you dared her to do something, could not say no. I remembered one time someone dared her to hold her breath for two minutes. Two minutes later, despite a purple face and an involuntarily shaking leg, she won that bet. In my head, I dared her to beat this tumor. That had to work, right?
Our sorority pledge class had planned a reunion in Boston at the end of April, and I was excited to catch up with everyone and eager to see Margaret. We gathered for dinner on the night of the reunion, and as we settled into the large table, someone suggested we seat Margaret in the middle. She had been intubated during a biopsy, and the tube caused scarring of the vocal chords, causing her voice to be reduced to a whisper.
Seeing Margaret for the first time in years was a bit of a shock. She was always a thin girl, what with all her running and biking, but she definitely seemed frail. Her cheeks were a little puffy from the chemo, which made her look healthier than she actually was. Her appetite was definitely strong. She and I ordered the same pasta dish, and she finished hers while I only managed about half. Our group's conversation at dinner was light, and included a few of the girls' significant others, including Margaret's. Her boyfriend, named Igor, was another MIT graduate who I'd never met before. I didn't get a chance to talk to him much that night, but learned that they had been together about four years and were living together in Cambridge which made me really happy for Margaret.
~ Out to dinner: Margaret, me, Evelyn ~
After dinner we retired to the hotel everyone was staying at to have a "fireside." This is the AXO term for when everyone sits in a circle and takes turns giving updates on their lives. When Margaret's turn came, she started off by saying something like "Well, I guess I'll talk about the elephant in the room," to which some of the girls protested. They wanted to hear her good news, about the man in her life. So she filled us in on Igor, and then talked about her job, which she was on leave from at the time I think, and the races the she was running that spring. (Yes, she was still running races!) But she never got back to talking about her illness.
As we were leaving, I felt I had to say something to her. The elephant was still sitting in that hotel room. My words were "I just wanted to let you know that you being sick really pisses me off," to which she responded "Yeah, it pisses me off too." And then she started to cry. As I hugged her, I was shocked that this strong woman would cry, and of course felt badly that I was the one who brought her to tears. We shared a cab from the hotel because I was headed out to meet a friend near Margaret's apartment. On the way we talked more about non-cancer topics and I was happy to have had a few minutes alone with her.
~ Margaret and I right before I made her cry :( ~
During the rest of the weekend I gingerly asked some of the girls who were closer to her for more information. I learned that in true Margaret fashion she was seeking the best treatment at the best hospitals. The tumor was not shrinking, but not growing either. I also learned that she had started a blog, which was a bit of a surprise to me, and I joined so I could follow her progress.
Through the blog updates, I learned about her day-to-day life as well as her medical treatments. She approached her illness with unfailing optimism and humor because the alternative seemed pointless. For example, she nicknamed her tumor "Larry" after an episode of one of her favorite cartoons, Pinky and the Brain, in which when asked what the two mice will do that night, the Brain says, "Try to take over the world... without Larry!" That was Margaret's plan too, but first she had to get rid of Larry. She would also write parodies of songs replacing the words with ones about battling cancer. There is the saying "as serious as cancer," but Margaret showed that a few moments of not taking it so seriously could provide a completely new outlook.
Over the course of the summer, I read about Margaret's symptoms as she had course after course of Chemo, trying any and every combination of drugs the doctors could think of. Her brother researched homeopathic remedies, and she supplemented the drugs with herbal medicines. Her vision grew blurry and it grew more and more difficult for her to swallow and walk, but it was uncertain if the symptoms were due to the drugs or the tumor, so there was still room for optimism. Margaret tried to stay as active as she could, and developed her own regiment of physical therapy in her apartment. She wrote on her blog "we figure it's better to keep me fighting like this than to just give up and stop walking altogether. If I stop, then I've given up, and I can't do that, no matter how hard it gets." Despite her worsening condition, she remained optimistic and posted that her goal was to run the half-marathon in Philadelphia in September 2009 on the Tug McGraw team. The foundation raises money for brain tumor research and was founded in honor of Tim McGraw's father, an athlete who died of a brain tumor, so it seemed apropos. Margaret's best friend, one of my sorority sisters, suggested that we start training as a pledge class and run with her the next year as a surprise, as sure as she was that she would be be there. Many people agreed, including me.
At the end of July, Margaret received the devastating news that the tumor was in fact growing. The next day she found out that Professor Randy Pausch (of "The Last Lecture" fame) had passed away. She had found him inspiring, and by sharing the link on her blog I was then inspired not only by the professor, but Margaret's shared positive outlook. By August, Margaret wasn't posting much to her blog and the posts that did come made me really sad. Her tone had changed, and while she still professed optimism, it was clear that the reality of her situation was very grave. On August 18 she wrote, "I'm not doing so well. But I'm surviving, and I think that's all I can do right now." One week later, there was a new post to the blog, but this time it came from her boyfriend Igor.
He wrote about a setback Margaret had faced while at Duke University Medical Center that had landed her in the ICU. She had developed difficulty breathing and was put on a breathing tube. As her breathing improved, she began yet another course of Chemo. Slowly over the course of the next month, with her brother and boyfriend by her side, her condition began to improve.
Hearing that she was hospitalized was a bit of a wake-up call for my friends and me. We felt so helpless, and in my case felt like I just needed to do something. I emailed Margaret's brother and Igor asking if they thought she would like an individual from the Tug McGraw foundation to run the New York City Marathon in her honor that fall. I was a bit flummoxed when the guys declined, but understood that she wanted to keep her life somewhat private. In fact even in writing this, I wonder if I am revealing too much.
Shortly thereafter, overnight, her condition worsened. She had developed an infection, which over the next few weeks was followed by a seizure, a blot clot in her leg, sepsis, tumor growth and pneumonia. She kept bouncing back and remained alert and responsive through most of it, astounding the doctors. But on October 26th Igor posted that Margaret was fading, and was no longer very responsive. Two days later he announced that she had been pronounced brain-dead. And yet, in his words, "in her infinite generosity, Margaret had wanted to be an organ donor. Sometime tomorrow they may take a part of her to help someone else, and I hope that person will someday appreciate how remarkable the original owner really was. That someone who's undergone so much chemotherapy is still a candidate for organ donation is a further testament to Margaret's resiliency."
By the time the announcement came, I was somewhat expecting it. The news had been mostly bad for such a long time that despite Margaret's optimism, I had begun to give up hope. But that doesn't change the fact that I was deeply affected by her passing. She was my age, so healthy, and then fought so hard. I decided to go to her funeral in Pennsylvania, with many of my other sorority sisters.
I am blessed, I guess, to not have had death in my life much. All of my relatives who have passed away were past retirement age, and had lived long happy lives. When I was very young my father's stepmother died, but I barely remember her aside from riding in her lap in her wheelchair. I also remember riding (in a limo, I think) with some family members and being upset that I could not go with them to her funeral. When I was a few years older my great-grandmother died right before Christmas, and only my mom flew down to North Carolina for her services. A few years after that, my Grandfather's new wife's stepmother died, and I attended her memorial service.
Then my Grampa passed away after a long battle with cancer. I had the chance to visit him in Florida, so had the chance to say good-bye. Only his wife and children were present to scatter his ashes in the ocean. Last year my mom's uncle Fred passed away, which came as a great shock. I was really upset by it, but was unable to fly home to Chicago for his funeral. So the only service I had ever attended was for the one person to whom I was probably the least close.
As for my peers passing away though, the only one I knew closely was a high school classmate. Katie was a senior and the captain of my tennis team when I was a freshman. She always wore a huge smile on her face and had very pretty, intense, deep-set eyes. She came back to our school the year after she graduated to tell us she had cancer. The school held a memorial for her when she passed away, but I don't remember going to it. I had always admired her for her good-natured attitude, and hearing of her death saddened me. Maybe it was true, only the good die young, I thought.
So I think that it was that I have been so insulated from death that Margaret's hit me so hard. Couple that with the fact that she had so much to live for and was such an inspiration in her battle and it's even more understandable. I wanted to go to the funeral to have some closure for myself by saying good-bye, as well as support her brother, Igor and my sorority sisters who were her best friends. Death, after all, is hardest on the living.
The wake was a really sad but lovely affair. Igor (I think) had put together a collection of photos of Margaret and had the slideshow playing on electronic picture frames throughout the funeral homes. Looking at those photos gave all the guests something to talk about in that awkward moment. We reminisced and laughed about the good times we'd had.
~ My favorite picture from the slide show: Jen and Margaret in costume for a skit in college ~
After the ice was broken, we decided it was time to go through the receiving line and view the body. Given the fact that I had never been to a proper funeral before, perhaps it goes without saying that I'd also never seen a dead body before. I knew that she would not look like herself, but to me Margaret looked like a tiny china doll. On her finger was the ring Igor had given to her when he proposed to her in the hospital at Duke in her final months.
After a moment's reflection, we moved on to greet Margaret's relatives. Her parents were so appreciative that so many of the AXOs had come. I had never met them before, but they and other family members engaged us in brief conversations. I think maybe seeing Margaret's friends was like having a piece of Margaret back. Greeting Margaret's brother and Igor was one of the most difficult things I had to do. I wasn't really prepared for that moment. Did the occasion call for a hug or a handshake? Would the words "I am sorry for your loss" suffice? The next few minutes were a blur and I can only imagine what sort of expression I was wearing. My sorority sisters and I left the wake shortly thereafter, and gathered for dinner to remember Margaret and catch up on each other's lives since our reunion in April.
The next day was the funeral. It was a Catholic service, and Margaret's brother and mother gave eulogies. Margaret's brother's was so extraordinarily touching. It was written as only an MIT alum would write a speech – in the form of a list. He described six ways in which she managed to cram a full, fun, "first class" life into her twenty-nine short years. I am going to paraphrase his eulogy here to be more general, because I think living by these six rules would improve anybody's life.
- Make the most out of the talents God gave you
- Live a balanced life
- Use your life experiences to develop your own code of values
- Cherish your relationships
- Challenge yourself and strive for excellence
- Never take yourself too seriously
There was a memorial service in Boston, and the room was packed with college friends and colleagues. In leading up to the service, I wondered if there was a sorority ritual for the passing of a sister. I knew the one for engagements, marriages and babies, but what do you do when someone dies? I contacted the AXO national headquarters, and the woman there suggested reading "The Symphony of Alpha Chi Omega." It was familiar to me, and upon re-reading it, I really thought its words described how Margaret lived her life. The memorial turned out not to be the place for a reading such as this, but it brought me a bit of inspiration to further bolster the eulogy list.
The Symphony Of Alpha Chi Omega
To see beauty even in the common things of life,
to shed the light of love and friendship round me;
to keep my life in tune with the world that I shall make no discords in the harmony of life;
to strike on the lyre of the universe only the notes of happiness, of joy, of peace;
to appreciate all that is noble in another, be her badge what it may;
and to let my lyre send forth the chords of love, unselfishness, sincerity.
This is to be my symphony.
- Celia McClure
Margaret touched many people's lives, and I hope she knew how inspirational she was. On what would have been her thirtieth birthday, an announcement was made that a memorial fund had been set up in her name at MIT. When it reaches its minimum endowment, it will provide an annual scholarship for female student-athletes. Additionally, Igor and one of my sorority sisters, Jane, are running the Boston Marathon next weekend in Margaret's honor to support the Lance Armstrong Foundation and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, respectively. If you are interested in donating to any of these causes, click on the links above. While her goal of being there may no longer be acheivable, my pledge class and I still plan to run the half-marathon in Philadelphia this fall in Margaret's memory. Her spirit will be there with us, I am sure, keeping the wind to our backs as we run. (It is for these fund-raising purposes that I have used everyone's real names in this piece. I apologize in advance if any of this is not okay, please just let me know)
Bob Dylan, whose songs were being played as I found out the news about Margaret, sang:
When you're sad and when you're lonely and you haven't got a friend
Just remember that death is not the end
Oh the tree of life is growing
Where the spirit never dies
And the bright light of salvation
Shines in dark and empty skies
When the cities are on fire with the burning flesh of men
Just remember that death is not the end
Margaret's spirit will never die, and her death is not an end.

Dario Benuzzi surveys his domain from the canopy of the pit garage as an angry-sounding 458 circles the Fiorano test track. His eyes, as always, are hidden behind shades, but Ferrari's legendary test driver of the last four decades is watching all right. Critiquing. Scoffing, even. Driving a new Ferrari at Fiorano on a press event is as good as this job gets, but, by God, it's intimidating. Or it was, until Ferrari launched the 458 Speciale, a supercar designed to make even us mere mortals feel as handy as Dario.
Like the 430 Scuderia and Challenge Stradale before it, the Speciale takes the current mid-engined Ferrari sports car and turns up the wick. Ferrari's CEO, Amedeo Felisa, reveals the company considered re-using the Scuderia name and creating a performance sub-brand, but decided not to because each car has a subtly different character and set of objectives to meet. I can't say I'm convinced, because the headlines—more power, less weight and a dynamic character biased towards track work—are quite similar.
When it comes to performance, though, the Speciale lives at a loftier level than its predecessors. Starting with the Italia's 4.5-liter V8, Ferrari's engineers fitted new camshafts with 5 percent more lift, redesigned intake runners and new pistons that deliver a barely believable 14:1 compression ratio. Topping all that with an exhaust system offering 25 percent less back pressure pushes power from 570 to 605 ponies. (The Scuderia, for reference, produced "just" 510 hp.) Torque remains the same at 398 lb-ft, but it feels like there's more of it because the Speciale is 198 pounds lighter than the Italia.
Contributing to that weight loss are lighter engine components, forged 20-inch alloy wheels, a carbon-fiber underbody and thinner front and side glass, along with a Lexan rear window. The interior is similarly pared down; there's no glove box, for instance, and buyers can delete the radio to save around nine pounds. The carbon-fiber sport seats do without leather, as do the dash and door panels (the latter are beautifully done carbon-fiber items). The floors receive textured aluminum plates instead of carpet, and there's no evidence of sound deadening. Ferrari specifies a curb weight of 3,075 pounds, but, from the way the thing changes direction when I dive into my first corner, I'd swear it was 400 pounds lighter still.

The web is entering a new phase.
Production is moving from goods to texts.
Distributing music – from Edison to iPod
Industrial economies are material: they process and combine natural resources (matter) into standardized, mass produced goods. Knowledge economies deal in symbols: they process and combine textual resources into new, mass produced texts.
Computers process symbols rather than steel and oil. Fifty years ago, processing was carried out by mainframes – vast, expensive machines run by specialists. During the last twentyfive years, we have turned to personal computers for most of our processing.
Living in the clouds
Now, processing is moving out – from small individual computers to vast computer farms on the open web. When we use the web rather than local computers to run our applications, we speak of cloud computing.
Social sites – like Blogger, WordPress, flickr, YouTube and Library Thing – require cloud computing. We use our local computers to interact with the centralised platforms. That's where we meet our friends.
But ordinary office applications – our "productivity tools" – are also moving to the web. Google offers powerful centralized email, news and calendar facilities. Google Docs offer word processing, presentation tools and spreadsheets combined with data entry forms. Organizations that need heavy duty applications rent computer capacity from Amazon.
Now Nicholas Carr reports that Google is launching a web browser designed for cloud computing. Its name is Chrome – and it represents one more step from the stand-alone PC to the cloud.
Carrs recent book – The big switch – compared the web with electricity. Modern societies take access to electrical power for granted. We will soon treat access to the web – or computing power – the same way. Always there. Nothing special.
Ubiquity equals utility.
But when utilities collapse, all hell breaks loose.
- Google Chrome. Applied Abstractions.
Another way to gain share would be to exploit the enormous collection of user stats that Google has, to produce something that tries to guess the intent of the user and provide suggested links and user-influenced interfaces.
Information systems these days is more and more about guessing the users intent rather than having him or her specify it up front, and Google is well informed (too well informed, some would say) about what we like to do.
Google Chrome. Applied Abstractions.

The changes for this week included reducing Acetyl Carnitine (ACL) and adjusting to an increase in gh. Pitolisant was staying the same at 13.5 mg. The little by little tweaking of things can be very stressful. Basically, I take in the information I get from those who see her all week and combine it with what I see. I take a deep breath, pray over each choice and then I check with Dr. Miller to make sure I'm not doing anything crazy.
I let a change go at least a week and assess where we are. It sounds simple enough but it is my kid I'm messing with so the stakes feel really high. I am thrilled to have teachers watching over her at school that know her well, love her and pray for her regularly. It makes it so much easier to turn her over every morning as I pray for the best. This week the reports were fantastic. Here are some highlights.
Please remember that I am simply sharing our experience. I wish I had the power to make this the experience for all kids with PWS but I cannot.

Griffin has been such a big helper since I have been in a wheelchair for nearly a month now. He helps me without even complaining and I have to ask a lot of him sometimes in order to keep from using my foot. I cannot put any weight on my right foot at least for another month and neither Griffin or I have been out of the apartment for any reason except for him going to school and I got out once when my friend took me out to go to the store for a day.
I am so proud of Griffin that he takes Abby out and walks her several times a day. I try to get him to go out to the playground but he will not usually go and when he does go outside he goes out of sight and worries me that I will not be able to get him back in by yelling for him because he might go out too far. It is scary when one is in a wheelchair inside and can't go out to get your own child if there was an emergency, I don't even know if my foot would even support my weight right now if I tried to use it because the surgeon shortened the tendons attached them to a bracket and broke my toe cutting off arthritis flattening it so I do not know what kind of shape it is in as far as functioning normally.
I have an Occupational Therapist that comes to the house that helps me learn how to do things from the wheelchair but there are still limits. I am able to load the dishwasher and do the dishes, mop the floor but I can't use the dust pan so I can't sweep. I can't make my bed nor can I vacuum without making the mistake of using my right foot (oops). Can't really use the stove from sitting position in the wheelchair, too dangerous, but I am waiting for a knee walker that is supposed to be good to help me be up above the stove and my right leg supported. Thank goodness for the microwave, the food is awful but it works. I can use the oven too, the only thing is that we run out of frozen food since the freezer only holds so much. I don't get to the store often but my friend does pick up milk or a couple of necessities when we run out.
Griffin got to go on a fire engine yesterday with a very good friend of mine whose husband is a firefighter. She said that he was apprehensive at first because the truck was so big and intimidating but that the guys helped him get over his fear. She and I agree that it is good for him to be around the guys and that the male influence is just what he needs at this stage in his life. He needs to learn to ride a bike, his scooter, and to some rough and tumble sort of things that boys do. Moms....like me....who are too protective just don't let him do those things. It's not really that I don't let him do those things it's that I don't know how to get him to do them. When you only have one child and that one child is a special needs child it is very difficult to just send him out there and say go take risks and get hurt. It is hard to take chances when you only have one offspring and you already feel that that offspring is somewhat (for the lack of a better word) fragile. NObody knows what it is like until they have been in my shoes to judge me and to think or say what I should or should have done with him. Even though I bought him a scooter I just didn't know how to get him motivated to ride it properly, he watched the neighborhood kids but it didn't help. It seems like I am being defensive because I have had individuals judge me and my parenting skills telling me about what I should do differently with Griffin and I know that they read this blog.
My friend has boys and a husband who are all willing to be there for Griffin and to help him grow as if he had a father, brother, or uncle in his life. They went to the grocery store for me and picked up several items. I asked her to get a treat for Griffin, like cookies, since he had not had any sweets for nearly a month. He chose Oreos, the new kind and I made the mistake of leaving him alone with them after everyone had gone. I wasn't paying attention, thinking that they had been put away with the rest of the groceries but he had them next to him at the computer and munched on them until he had over half the package gone! I didn't find out until he had gone to bed and I was cleaning up. I guess that he made up for lost time and he won't be getting the rest of them for awhile now.
Life is not without its challenges but also full of blessings. When I hear my son's laughter all those challenges temporarily fade away: and when I think of the unconditional love that we share, I realize what a precious gift that has been bestowed upon me in this lifetime in which I had never imagined would be so magnificent. The one thing that I am sure to tell him every day is that I love him and that he is exactly the way he was meant to be created..He is PERFECT!

text: On "It's the Word" I plan to discuss issues related to faith, theology, and life as an alien in the world. The name "It's the Word" has a double meaning. The more obvious biblical meaning deals with the Word in the sense that John uses it in John 1:1. The other sense in which I will use this concept is in the use that we make of not only the Word of God but our own words as we attempt to make sense of the world and convey our own ideas to one another. So, I hope that you enjoy "It's the Word."

The tension finally simmered as INEC yesterday, announced the cancellation of the Governorship Electoral result of the southern Ijaw Local Government in Yenogoa, the Bayelsa State.
Announced by the resident electoral commissioner(REC) Bayelsa state, Baritor Kpagih at the collation centre Yenagoa, the REC said the cancellation came as a result of electoral violence which marred the Election at the Southern Ijaw local government.
The REC said the election was substantially marred by violence ballot box snatching, intimidation of electoral officers which he said is against the electoral law even in Nigeria and by international l standard. The commissioner has decided to cancel the election of Southern Ijaw local government.
He said a new date will be announced later. Meanwhile early in the morning of Monday Information reached that there were series of protests in Southern Ijaw local government of Bayelsa and at the Yenagoa collation centre where the protesters mainly women were protesting against the hijacking of
election materials.
Already at the controversial Southern Ijaw local government, accreditation started as late as 6pm while voting started latter in the night.
The protesters who had posters with inscription written "military take yourselves out of politics" and other inscription were protesting against the various hijacks of electoral material. The Almighty Southern Ijaw being awaited. It will decide who wins the Bayelsa Governorship elelction. PDP lead with over 33,000 margin from declared results so far.
Recall that Southern Ijaw has about four constituencies and is a deciding factor on who wins the Bayelsa state election.
Police however public rallies, processions and demonstrations, but some women and youths protested at the state collation office in Yenagoa.
There were also more drama as some youth later in a commando fashion stormed the state collation center in Yenagoa where they brought electoral materials
which according to them was from voting in Amassoma, home town of Alamieyeseigha in Southern Ijaw. They said they rescued the materials from fake military personnel.
Also an APC chieftain's son name withheld allegedly died in a car accident.
Information had it that the son of the chieftain carried a ballot box wearing army uniform and was running away when he had a car accident. As it this morning it was said that the man is late.
Already the Assistant inspector general of police zone 5 Musa Dauras aid no one should embark on any form of protest or risk being arrested. But immediately the cancellation was announced, Yenagoa the state capital came alive again with heavy traffic witnessed on the roads of Yenagoa.
Even though APC supporters are not happy with the cancellation, PDP is jubilating because they have been calling for the postponement of the election. Now that it has been cancelled it now on the parties concerned to go back and re-strategise and now how best to handle both their supporters who are still practicing militant activities using politics to cover face.
Also INEC has a job to do now so the next rerun will be devoid of
election malpractices.
Meanwhile Nembe result was released and PDP got 10768 while APC got 6974 still giving PDP an upper hand.

In Maine for the thirty-first time homosexual marriage has been rejected by the voters. This has happened every single time that the issue has been put to a popular vote in thirty-one states. This is the first time that a law passed in a legislature has been repealed by the people. Other such laws were enacted due to activist judges.
Homosexual activist had hoped Maine would be different because of its "MODERATE" to left history of voting.
This once more demonstrates that our political leaders are completely out of touch with those that they are supposed to be "REPRESENTING".
Voters have shown overwhelmingly that they do not support these sort of attacks on traditional marriage .And yet politicians continue to pander to a minority special interest group.
