What words come to mind when you think of a 'spoiled' child?
Entitled? Manipulative? Demanding? Annoying?
I'm guessing that whatever words come to mind, they aren't particularly pleasant. It's safe to say that society does not look kindly on pampered children.
And let's face it – whiny, demanding, manipulative children turn into whiny, demanding, manipulative adults.
So how do we avoid 'spoiling' our kids? What does 'spoiling' even mean?
Enter Karen Skinulis of practicalparenting.ca. I attended her presentation, 'Loving Without Pampering' at the Ontario Society of Adlerian Psychology annual conference. I am so grateful that she has allowed me to share with you some of the information she provided during her presentation.
For starters – what's the big deal? Is 'spoiling' our kids really that bad?
Turns out, the answer is yes. Pampered children:
- Develop the belief that people are there to serve them and make things easier for them
- Develop an unrealistic view of life and do not have experience dealing with reality
- Do not develop a sense of their capabilities as they have little opportunity to make decisions and take responsibility
- Can develop problems in their work, intimate relationships and within their social networks
Not exactly parenting goals of mine.
So how can we avoid 'spoiling' our kids?
Let's take a look at the five different forms of pampering:
1) Giving too much service
Oh yes. This is a big one. We parents get so much satisfaction from being helpful, don't we?! We just love feeling indispensable. The only problem with this is that by always jumping in to save the day, we give our kids the impression that they aren't capable of doing things for themselves. For anyone wanting to raise capable, confident, independent kids this is not the message we want to be sending.
So how do we avoid giving too much service?
- Don't do for a child what they can do themselves
We need to be aware of our children's growing capabilities. Reaching milestones, such as climbing the stairs, drinking from a cup and dressing themselves helps our kids feel independent. As soon as you notice an increase in their capabilities, it's time to let go. No more carrying them up the stairs, no more bottles, no more dressing them. Although it can be hard to let go of the 'littleness' of our kids, it is so very importantly that we let go and allow their independence.
2) Giving too much attention
I love spending quality time with my kids. What I don't love? Pulling on my pants when I'm on the phone, interruptions when I'm trying to talk to someone at the door, or little people climbing all over me when I'm trying to visit with friends. Not only is attention-seeking behaviour annoying, but always giving attention when it's demanded creates real problems for our kids. Attention-seeking children can develop the mistaken belief that they are only important if someone is paying attention to them. While our kids need to know that they are loved and cherished by us, they also need to learn that they are not the centre of the entire universe.
So how do we avoid giving them too much attention?
- Don't give attention when they are demanding it
I really love this advice, though I've found it can be incredibly hard to follow. How are you supposed to handle a screaming toddler pulling at your pants when you're on the phone with the plumber because the toilet exploded?! (Hypothetically speaking, of course…)
The answer? Practice, practice, practice!
Here's what I did: 'pretend' phone conversations. Yep – I pretended to talk on the phone. When G would start pulling on my leg, I explained to him that I was not available and that I'd come see him when I was finished. When he continued demanding attention, I carried on with my pretend phone call until he calmed down. By the third 'practice' phone call he understood that I wasn't available when I was on the phone – he would play with his toys or read his books until I was finished and then we would continue playing together.
3) Giving them their own way
This one is hard – especially in public! It is so easy to give in and let them have that extra treat if it means five more minutes of silence so you can finish getting groceries. Giving in may be easy in the moment, but in the long run always giving in creates demanding kids – and who wants that?!
So how do we avoid always giving our kids their own way?
- Be consistent
I've found that my kids really benefit from structure and routine. They know that all tv watching happens after nap/before supper and that asking to watch tv outside these times is not going to happen. Every time you give in, they learn that nagging/whining works. They are smart little creatures, these kids of ours. Be consistent. Be firm.
4) Giving too many things
While buying the occasional 'surprise' present can be fun, ALWAYS buying gifts creates a level of expectation. Kids who receive too many 'things' can become materialistic and hooked on instant gratification. Why should they wait for Christmas when they can get it right now?
So how do we avoid giving too many things?
- When shopping, stick to a list
If your kids see you making impulse purchases they're going to want to do the same.
- Keep purchases focused on 'needs' rather than 'wants'
If you're finding that your kids are becoming entitled or materialistic, talk about cutting back on 'extra' purchases. Maybe try keeping special gifts reserved for occasions such as birthdays and holidays and see if that improves things.
5) Overprotection
You know what I'm talking about – those parents who remove all obstacles and dangers from their kids' paths, managing their every move, even going so far as to lobby their kids' teachers (even University professors!) for better grades. When it comes to constantly pointing out dangers (You'll get hurt! That's dangerous! Stay away from there!), overprotective and anxious parents pull their kids back. While we need to keep our kids safe, we also need to let them grow and experience life.
I think we all know that overprotection doesn't do our kids any good, but how do we avoid it?
- Set them up for success
Again – practice, practice, practice! When the time comes to loosen your grip a little, prepare your kids for what to expect. If they're ready to start walking to school on their own, go over your expectations and help them develop a plan of how to handle potential challenges – a barking dog or an unfriendly stranger, for example. By making a plan and working through different scenarios, you're preparing them for what to expect, giving them the tools they need to handle things on their own and how to go about getting help if needed.
- Teach them to judge risk
Educate your children on what's reasonable risk and what's dangerous. What's reasonable and what's dangerous will vary from child to child based on their age, physical, emotional and intellectual capabilities. What's risky/dangerous will also change over time for the same child – while getting up on a chair is dangerous for a baby, it's a reasonable skill for a 2-year-old. Update your teaching as necessary.
- When they're ready, let them go
Even though it may make you nervous, there will come a time when little Johnny is ready for the 'big' swing or the 'big' slide. When your child starts indicating readiness to tackle new challenges, try letting go instead of pulling back – you may be surprised at what your kids are capable of 🙂
So there you have it, folks!
How do you feel about this list? Are you already following most of this advice? Or are you feeling overwhelmed?
For now, we're working on #2 and #3 – not giving too much attention and not giving in all the time. As we make some progress we'll move on to the others.
Any advice on this list you'd like to implement with your family? Let me know in the comments or you can post to my Facebook page. I'd love to hear from you! 🙂

Someone is trying to sell a $57,000 ticket to the Rose Bowl
And you thought a front-row seat to "Hamilton" was expensive.
Someone is trying to sell a $57,000 ticket to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
The shockingly high-priced ticket is for sale on StubHub, and puts you in row 3 of an E Level Suite with extra-wide cushioned seats and unobstructed views of the game. The price also includes complimentary VIP parking, concierge service, a private entrance and the option to order food from a menu designed by famed chef Wolfgang Puck.
The Georgia Bulldogs and the Oklahoma Sooners will meet in the College Football Playoff Semifinal on New Year's Day, and tickets have been in high demand. The last time Georgia played in the Rose Bowl was 1943; the Sooners made it to California in 2003.
The teams were allocated a certain number of tickets that were then distributed directly to fans.
"About 20,000 season ticket holders have requested tickets from the University of Georgia, UGA officials say. The university, though, had 10,600 tickets for sale to those fans," reports the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
The remaining tickets (or resale tickets) went to PrimeSport, where right now ticket prices are ranging from $225 to $42,750. On StubHub ticket prices start at $140.

Greyerz Says Another "Well-Known" Swiss Bank Just Refused To Let A Client See The Gold The Bank Is Supposedly Storing For Them
Greyerz Says Another "Well-Known" Swiss Bank Just Refused To Let A Client See The Gold The Bank Is Supposedly Storing For Them from King World News
It's happened again. For the second time in less than a week, the man who has become legendary for his predictions on QE, historic moves in currencies, told King World News that another scandal is unfolding in Switzerland as a second major Swiss bank has has just refused to let a client see the gold that the bank is supposedly storing for them.
What In The World Is Going On With Swiss Banks?
Eric King: "Egon, the piece went viral on KWN where you exposed the fact that one of the Swiss banks refused to hand over a client's gold. You also exposed more shocking information about what is happening with other Swiss banks. What in the world is going on with the Swiss banks?"
Egon von Greyerz: "Eric, this week we had another situation unfold at an extremely well-known and respected Swiss bank. A wealthy, long-time customer went to the Swiss bank and requested to see his gold bars. The Swiss bank responded, 'You can't see them.'…
This gentleman has, according to a statement from the Swiss bank, a very large number of gold bars on deposit at this bank. Eric, I would call it 'a significant amount of gold.' And yet the Swiss bank said to this wealthy client, 'No, we're not going to show them to you — we can't.' The client was furious and now wants his gold and other assets out of that Swiss bank.
But this is what's happening now. We talked in my previous interview about how banks are refusing to send clients' gold anywhere. What's happening is these banks are putting up obstacles to prevent clients from taking gold or other assets out of the bank.

One of my favorite things about women is our ability to pierce through the chit-chat to get to what is really going on in our hearts.
Conversations with close girlfriends can be deep and true. I have a few girlfriends with whom I can reveal the darkest parts of myself and know that I will still be accepted and loved just as I am. This, in turn, helps me to accept and love myself as I am. The way I treat my closest friends with compassion and understanding no matter what, also teaches me how to be a good friend to myself. I believe this connection spreads out into the world, showing me the light and sweetness in people I do not know at all.
In the media, friendships between women are often portrayed as caddy and insecure. My experience is that friendships between women are full of depth, gentleness, grace and wisdom. Girlfriends listen empathetically with their hearts wide-open. They are not afraid to hear pain. A friend holds the painful stories of other women, quietly and lovingly. This makes the pain lessen and love grows stronger. Girlfriends create a safe place to share heartbreaks, jealousies, anger and fear without being judged or criticized.
My girlfriends teach me over and over that I am okay just as I am, even when, in my darkest moments I am certain that I am not.
They remind me that I am always loved, no matter what.
I found this here and it spoke to my soul. I just felt I had to share it here because I have some really amazing girlfriends. A couple of these ladies I've known since I was a child and a couple since I was in high school which was like, forever ago. I have made some truly dear friends online that I feel I could go to with anything and I have never met them face to face. To all of you, this is sent out into the Universe just for you. I heart you all!
And with that said I think I am going to open my creative mind to making a "Girl Friend" quilt. I've never actually come up with my own pattern but instead of stayed in my safety zone and used tutorials that others of you have made so wish me luck.

Thornton Homecoming King 2017
Thornton's Homecoming King for 2017 is Jerry K. Tilley. Jerry, the son of Macelle Fox Tilley and Lester I. Tilley, was born in Thornton, Texas on January 2, 1940. At that time, Jerry's brother David was six years old and his sister Kay was four years old.
Before his birth, the Tilley family lived on a cotton farm in the Centerville area. The farm was only one mile from the Trinity River and every time the Trinity would flood, their house would be surrounded by water for days on end. When his mother was pregnant with Jerry, she told his father that she was tired of this cotton farm and all of the water. She was going to the farm in Thornton to have her baby. In Jerry's words, she told his dad, "you can come or you can stay, but I'm gone." Needless to say, Mr. Tilley followed his wife and went back to the farm in Thornton and never returned to the cotton fields on the banks of the Trinity.
That farm, now known as Shady Oak Ranch and owned by Jerry, has been recognized by the Texas Department of Agriculture in Austin and featured in the Texas Land Heritage Program. To qualify for this distinction, descendants of the original owner must have owned, lived, and maintained agriculture production on the land for one hundred years.
William Fox, the original owner and Jerry's great great grandfather, came to Limestone County in 1875. William had been born in Canada in 1800 and joined the Canadian Army in the War of 1812 as a drummer boy. He was captured by the U.S. soldiers in the battle of Detroit. After the war, he was released and he chose to stay in the U.S. In 1845 he became a naturalized American citizen and in 1847 he and his family moved to Harrison County where he bought land and farmed. He later sold this land and on June 25, 1875 he came to Limestone County and bought the original 640 acres of land. There he built a log house, cleared part of his land and began farming.
William's son, Jerry's great grandfather, Henry G. Fox, obtained 220 acres of the original land purchased by his father. The next owner of the land was Jerry's grandfather, Lesley Green Fox, who inherited and purchased 71 acres of the land. Mr. Lesley Fox lived on the land til1945 when he sold it to his youngest daughter, Macelle and her husband, Lester Tilley. They raised cotton, corn, hay, watermelon and other vegetables. It was said to this land that Mrs. Tilley returned to have her son, Jerry.

What's that quote from Steel Magnolias? "If you don't have anything nice to say, come sit by me." Haha. I like my fair share of well intentioned gossip (Oooh Girrrrll...she's been workin' out!) but I can't stand when things get snarky and bitchy. Most of the time, I think it says a lot more about the person dishing it than the person at the center. Teacher's lounges are like hornet's nests for that sort of thing, and since I often don't know who they're talking about (#travelingteacherlife), I'm usually good at steering the convo away to something in the news or some o' dat self deprecating humor that I pride myself on. I am, however, a fan of the band Gossip, simply because Beth Ditto is a total riot grrrl.

You make me so very proud of you!
I try to remember Martin Luther's words about explaining our neighbor's actions in the kindest way possible. Sometimes it is very difficult and sometimes I fail dreadfully. It is so much easier to try to explain someone's weaknesses or mistakes in the least kind way, amplifying it for the sake of making a better story.
Again, you make me very proud.

Thursday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," host Joe Scarborough once again took presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump to task, this time for proposing a ban on Muslims coming to the United Stated until officials got a better handle on domestic Islamic terrorism.
"[W]hen you're talking about banning 1.4, 1.5 million people simply because of the God they worship, that's as un-American as anything he said, as un-American as what he said about this judge," he said. "I'm with you, Willie, where was the outrage then? Like we said on this show asking the question when it first came up, is this what Germany looked like in 1933? That's every bit as offensive, why no outrage from right and left?"
Scarborough went on to express his disappointment in Republicans that held similar beliefs as Trump about Muslims.
"I was deeply disturbed throughout the Republican primaries to see the high number of Republicans who supported Trump's Muslim ban," Scarborough added. "I was disturbed, deeply disturbed by the high number of Republicans — people in my party — during those early primaries, saying they actually wanted to ban mosques from the United States of America. Let me look straight into the cameras so this can never be wiped clean, and I can never back off of it because I never would anyway: That's un-American. That is every bit un-American as people who target Southern Baptists because they don't like Southern Baptists. That is every bit as un-American as people targeting Jews because they don't like Jews. That's every bit as un-American as people targeting Catholics because they don't like Catholics."

text: News Beach volleyball 18/09/2016 "Johnny Hyden, young and getting younger." Toronto, Ontario, Canada, September 17, 2016 - Tri Bourne glanced over at partner John Hyden and said with a smile, "Johnny Hyden, young and getting younger."Quick links:SWATCH FIVB World Tour Finals - WebsiteSWATCH FIVB World Tour Finals - NewsSWATCH FIVB World Tour Finals - ScheduleFIVB Beach Volleyball World TourRecap - SWATCH FIVB World Tour Finals - AudioThe United States duo also showed that indeed old dogs can learn new tricks, and Hyden and Bourne showed off a few wrinkles to their game as they eliminated fellow Americans Phil Dalhausser and Nick Lucena with a 21-18, 21-19 victory Saturday to reach the semifinals of the SWATCH World Tour Finals at Polson Pier.Less than two weeks ago, Hyden/Bourne scored only 20 points in a loss to Dalhausser/Lucena in the AVP Championships in Chicago on the American domestic tour.In that match, the 6-foot-9 Dalhausser, the Olympic gold medalist in Beijing 2008, virtually blocked Bourne off the court. In Toronto, it took some adjustments and the 43-year old Hyden showed he has a few tricks up his sleeve.Instead of showing patience for the perfect pass-set-hit, Bourne and Hyden went to Hyden on two contacts more than once. When Hyden sent the ball down to the sand early, Dalhausser and Lucena found they had to respect that play and Dalhausser never got into the blocking comfort zone he enjoyed in Chicago.The attack was something they installed earlier in the day during their training session.And with two weeks to lose sleep over that match, Bourne and Hyden came out with a resolve to beat the Rio 2016 Olympians. Even with that taste of defeat, and the fact that they had not beaten Dalhausser/Lucena in six previous meetings, they maintained plenty of confidence."Well, I could imagine it," Hyden said. "It's been proven that anybody can win on this tour, so we came in with – I won't say high expectations – but expectations to play well. We felt good, everybody here has been to the Olympics but us, so this is kind of our Olympics and we're glad to be where we at."Hyden/Bourne, reaching the final four in either a Major Series or FIVB Grand Slam for the first time in 2016, will face Olympians Pedro Solberg and Evandro Goncalves of Brazil in the semifinals."Finally we made the semifinals of a big tournament this year," said Bourne, who is 16 years younger than his partner. "I've been dying to get here this year and expected to be hear earlier to be honest but just in time."This is our chance to go against the Olympians. We obviously didn't earn the right to be there due to the country quota but we wanted to show we belonged."Dalhausser/Lucena looked like they were about to add another beat-down to the Chicago rout by jumping out to an 8-3 lead. Suddenly, Hyden/Bourne gained traction with their new strategies and took advantage of the good side of the court to rattle off a six-point run to take the lead in the first set.They held the advantage to close out the set and they never trailed in the second, which was punctuated by a huge block by Bourne on Dalhausser that made it 19-17."They played well," Dalhausser said. "We got off to an early lead in the first and they did a good job to come back. Tri sided out great, he didn't make any errors. We just came up a little short."Dalhausser was able to come up with only two blocks as Bourne/Hyden stayed unpredictable with their attack to keep him off-balance. In Chicago, swing after swing was rejected by Dalhausser. "It was in my head a lot," Bourne said. "I'm just glad we got the chance to play them right away and didn't have to go the whole offseason with that loss, especially me because I kept swinging and getting blocked. I knew the adjustments I needed to make. So I got my chance two weeks later."For me personally it's not second-guessing myself when you get blocked like that. With something like what happened in Chicago, it creeps into your head and you can't hesitate, you've got to commit and trust your game."

WASHINGTON — When Florida Congressman Charles Bennett first heard about the CIA`s secret plans to invade Cuba 25 years ago, he rushed to the White House to give a personal warning to President Kennedy.
Sending a small brigade of exiles against the forces of Fidel Castro was a sacrificial mission certain to fail, Bennett predicted.
``Unless you are willing to commit U.S. troops in a substantial amount, enough to overwhelm the island, I think you`re making a mistake, you won`t win, and it will be a tragedy,`` Bennett now recalls telling the young president.
Better to send as many troops as needed or send nothing at all, he suggested. But Bennett`s advice went unheeded.
On the early morning of April 17, 1961 -- 25 years ago this Thursday -- Brigade 2506 sailed into the Bay of Pigs. Some 1,500 exiles, a poorly trained collection of `60s-era freedom fighters, straggled onto the shores of Cuba only to be killed or captured. The promised American air support never came and virtually guaranteed their defeat.
The Bay of Pigs invasion has haunted the United States ever since. And former members of that doomed brigade will raise that specter again this week when they pursue their lobbying campaign for military aid to Contras fighting to overthrow the leftist government of Nicaragua.
The House would do well to heed the lessons of the Bay of Pigs. Yet, under the current American climate, that failed experiment in intervention would seem to argue against further entanglement in the military struggles of LatinAmerica.
``The lesson is very clear that the United States government never in the future should support any covert operation like the Bay of Pigs invasion if it is not ready to do whatever is necessary to finish the action,`` Erneido Oliva, the brigade`s second in command, said last week.

As racial tensions continue to flare, seven black Christian churches in the South have burned since the June 17 Charleston massacre. Many of those fires are being investigated as arsons.
The latest fire came Tuesday night, about 65 miles from Charleston in the town of Greeleyville. However a federal official has told the Associated Press that that fire was not arson:
[T]he federal official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case publicly, told The Associated Press that preliminary indications show the fire at the Mount Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church in Greeleyville was not intentionally set and was not arson.
Lightning storms were reported in the Greeleyville area around the time of the fire, but the investigation continues.
However, other recent fires at black churches around the South are being investigated as potential cases of arson.
–June 21, Knoxville, TN: bales of hay and a church van were set fire outside the College Hill Seventh Day Adventist.
– June 23, Macon, GA : Macon-Bibb County Fire Department officials say they are investigating.
–June 24, Charlotte, NC: After an apparent arson at the Briar Creek Road Baptist Church, a guest minister delivered a sermon saying, "You're going to take back everything he took from you. The scent of revival is in the air."
–June 26, Aiken County, SC: A fire at Glover Grove Baptist Church is being investigated and a news report said "all possibilities are still open at this point from an electrical problem to foul play."
Two other fires at black churches in Florida and Mississippi appear to be the result of electrical problems.
Black Lives Matter activists are using the "Seven Churches" number:
CVS gets burned down. Every news outlet shows up. 7 black churches burned, 1 right burning right now. Silence.
— Talib Kweli Greene (@TalibKweli) July 1, 2015
However, four potential church arsons is still an alarming number and certainly worthy of investigation. The FBI is looking into the matter and working with local and state officials across the region.
Racist groups such as the KKK do have a history of burning black churches; for example, the Greeleyville church burned to the ground in the 1990s and two Klan members were convicted of setting the fire.
However, anyone who paid attention to the race-fueled stories in the Trayvon Martin shooting or Ferguson, Missouri also knows that there's also a clear pattern of Black Power activists playing fast and loose with the facts and taking the willing media along for the ride.
Even if the four fires that are under investigation are arson, it's still unknown as to who set them or why. When the facts come out, any advocate of law and order will be want justice to be served.

UBS is reorganizing its management, naming CFO Tom Naratil to succeed Robert McCann as president of UBS Americas and Wealth Management Americas.
The moves are the latest by Sergio Ermotti, the bank's CEO, who scaled back the investment bank starting in 2012 to focus more on wealth management, a business that rival Credit Suisse now also wants to prioritize. UBS is the world's largest wealth manager and derives the biggest chunk of income from managing money for high-net-worth and ultrahigh-net-worth clients.
In the executive shuffle, McCann will become chairman of UBS Americas, where he'll focus on "clients and strategic priorities," the company said. Kirt Gardner, CFO of wealth management, will become UBS' CFO and join the executive board.
Before Naratil, 53, was appointed group CFO in 2011, he served as CFO and chief risk officer of UBS Wealth Management Americas. Previously, he held various senior management positions within UBS, including heading the auction rate securities solutions group during the financial crisis in 2008. He was named global head of marketing for segment and client development in 2007, global head of market strategy and development in 2005, and director of banking and transactional solutions, wealth management USA, in 2002. Naratil joined Paine Webber in 1983; following its merger with UBS, he became director of the investment products group.
Separately, UBS said third-quarter profits more than doubled to 2.07 billion Swiss francs ($2.1 billion) in the three months through September from 762 million francs a year ago. That exceeded the 1.73 billion-franc average estimate of six analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. For the third time in two years, the bank pushed back a profitability target, citing stricter capital rules at home and changes in the economic outlook and conditions. UBS now wants to achieve 15% return on tangible equity by 2017. It said it will beat this year's target of a 10% return and will aim for that next year as well.
"Today's results will be viewed slightly negatively," Andreas Brun, an analyst at Zuercher Kantonalbank, told Bloomberg. "This is because net new money growth is lower than expected" and the turbulence in Asia also weighed on the business.

Small Changes Can Make Big Differences
Posted On: November 8th, 2011
Principal Consultants, Laff Associates
Is your agency doing everything it can to become clinically and operationally aligned? If not, the time is now to make sure everyone is pulling in the same direction as unprecedented changes shake up the industry.
Reimbursements are going down at a time when the emphasis on quality outcomes has increased. The only way to maintain profitability in such an environment is to become more efficient, leveraging your people and your technology to their utmost to create a standardized operating model.
The first step is to understand your cost structure by discipline. Without this baseline data, you will not know whether changes are having the desired effect. You should also monitor every aspect of the agency from intake to discharge, looking for redundancies and unnecessary handoffs.
Census reports should be monitored weekly, making sure that new patients have been added correctly and discharged patients removed promptly. Clinician performance should also be tracked, counting the number of unweighted visits each clinician performs each week.
A common industry practice calls for rotating weekday staff through weekend shifts, which we do not believe helps efficiency. We advocate the use of a "Weekender" program with a dedicated staff that admits and serves patients from noon Friday through Sunday. Weekend staffers receive a pay differential, but because you don't have to pay comp time to weekday staff, your costs are about the same. On Monday, weekend and weekday staff meet to manage handoffs.
Another common practice has different people admitting patients, evaluating them and treating them. Can you do more with less? A primary case management approach can use fewer people while delivering good patient results, better financial outcomes and a more satisfied patient.

'Dead' Filipino Girl Comes Back To Life During Church Funeral In Zamboanga Del Sur
A 3-year-old girl woke up during her own funeral at a church in Aurora, Zamboanga del Sur on Saturday.
A source told NoypiStuff that the toddler was declared clinically dead at a local health clinic at around 9 am on Friday, which prompted her family to arrange her funeral at 1pm the next day.
During the funeral mass prior to her burial, her family went into commotion when they noticed that the little girl started to move her head –they also felt the child's pulse. And thus, her father immediately took her out the coffin and cuddled her in his arms.
Below is a video of the jaw-dropping incident over the weekend:

Manhattan Cocktail Classic, Day 2
I spent a good chunk of today as a volunteer at the MCC working the welcome table rather than as an attendee, so I have less to report on than yesterday. However, I can definitely say that it was my experience that this is a very well-run event with great organizers and a very friendly crowd of attendees. I actually had a great time working the front desk and chatting with the participants and my fellow volunteers.
Before volunteering, I attended a morning seminar on the Art of the Simple Cocktail with Elayne Duke. Elayne took us through the use of the simple formula of base plus modifier plus modifying agent to create tasty drink varients with ease through simple substitutions (while giving credit to David Embury for his pioneering thoughts on such cocktail creation). She also gave tips on how she thinks through designing a new drink, and let us sample some creations including a Godiva chocolate raspberry vodka drink with champagne, a honey drizzle, and a chocolate truffle and raspberry garnish.

Money Funds Seek Insurance
An Exodus Begins to Guarantee Prices in Treasury Program
(See Corrections & Amplifications item below.)
More asset managers said they planned to insure their money-market funds, particularly in the wake of market declines like those on Monday.
First American Funds, Invesco AIM and TCW Group joined those who have already said they will participate in the Treasury Department's temporary guarantee program, which opened Monday. Wachovia Corp. unit Evergreen Investments, BlackRock Inc., Federated Investors Inc., Legg Mason Inc.'s Western Asset Management Co., Bank of New York Mellon Corp.'s Dreyfus Funds and Morgan Stanley Investment Management, the asset-management arm of Morgan Stanley , previously said they plan to take part, and some have proceeded to apply.
The Treasury will guarantee the share price of any publicly offered eligible money-market fund as of Sept. 19 that applies for and pays a fee to participate in the program. The guarantee will be triggered if a participating fund's net asset value falls below $0.995.
Funds must apply by Oct. 8 for the program, which will run for an initial three-month period but may be extended.
Morgan Stanley said that all of its money-market funds will apply. "While the Morgan Stanley money-market funds have maintained their $1 net asset value throughout the recent unprecedented turmoil and continued to meet their stated objectives of capital preservation and liquidity," the firm is pleased to participate in the program "to provide an added level of protection for our shareholders," the asset manager said.
BlackRock is proceeding with the application process, the firm said on its Web site.
Evergreen has submitted the necessary documentation and paid the required fee to take part in the program, it said on its Web site. The firm said it will provide investors with additional details as its participation is finalized.
The moves came as data show that investors continue to be nervous about money-market funds, which were once considered one of the safest investments. "I don't think we're going to see [investor withdrawals] stopping until the funds buy into this insurance and broadcast it," said Connie Bugbee, managing editor at iMoneyNet.
Money-market funds should take advantage of the guaranty program, Ms. Bugbee said. "I think that's probably the only thing that's going to boost up the prime funds," she said. "I would wager that corporate cash managers are being summoned by their higher-ups and asked, 'Are you in a fund that could be holding something dubious?' "
But some asset managers said they are still considering whether to participate in the Treasury's guaranty program. American Century Investments is very likely to participate, though it hasn't made a final decision, a spokesman said. It will do so by Monday, he said.
Fidelity Investments and OppenheimerFunds also said they were reviewing the program's details but haven't yet made a decision on whether to take part. Alpine Woods Capital Investors LLC said it intends to explore the program, and said on its Web site that it is optimistic that the Treasury's announcement "may help end the recent disruption in the short-term, fixed-income marketplace and maintain confidence in the money-market fund industry."
In recent days, Fidelity is, in a general sense, "seeing interest in money-market and bond funds consistent with most times of market volatility," Vin Loporchio, a spokesman, said. "Our funds continue to invest in money-market securities of high quality and our customers continue to have full access to their investments. We've been proactive about keeping our money-market funds safe and protecting the $1 net asset value."
Vanguard Group also continues to evaluate the guaranty program and will make a determination by the Oct. 8 deadline, said John Woerth, a Vanguard spokesman. The firm's money-market funds haven't experienced high levels of redemption activity, he said.
The government's guarantee program came too late for investors in the Reserve Primary Fund. Reserve Management Co. announced late Monday that it would liquidate the fund, which brought fear to the money-market fund industry when it announced that its net asset value had dropped below $1 a share.

Jen and Serafina of Hip Chick Farms are pitching their line of healthy, frozen chicken products (chicken nuggets, chicken fingers, chicken meatballs) on West Texas Investors Club. The farming couple from Sebastopol, California took out a second mortgage on their house, and have so far put $250,000 into the business. They are literally betting the farm.
Potential investors Butch and Rooster put the couple to the test by gathering a group of chicken nugget eating kids and their moms at a natural food store. During a graphic demonstration, Jen and Serafina explain what parts of "a dead chicken" are used in most frozen chicken nuggets. Hip Chick Farms proudly uses all-white breast meat and fresh, sustainable and locally sourced ingredients. Hip Chick Farms is available in retail stores across the US, here's the store locator.

The American Disaster Relief Foundation's purpose is to help Americans affected by disasters with gifts of supplies and hands-on labor.
Our History
The May 22, 2011 tornado that demolished Joplin, MO will go down in America's history as the deadliest tornado in over 60 years. It caused so much damage that it has been entered in the record books as the most expensive tornado in U.S. history.
On June 11, 2011, ADRF founder Dan Gifford III and a group of volunteers left for Joplin to help this devastated area in anyway possible. On that one week trip, the idea for American Disaster Relief Foundation (ADRF) was born.
The "American Disaster Relief Foundation" was incorporated on November 17, 2011. On September 22, 2012, one year after the U.S. was changed forever.
Next Steps…
If you would like to make a contribution, please consult your tax advisor regarding what will work best for you or your organization.

Take a look-see.
Who is counting down the days with me!?
Awww, I love the behind-the-scenes picture of Michelle Dockery and the baby. How I wish her character would bond with the baby in the same way. :)ReplyDelete
Me, too, Alyssa. That was probably my favorite of the bunch. You know, I read that Mary wasn't going to bond much with Baby Crawley but oh, when you see that photo (even if it is out of character), a viewer sure hopes and wishes that she will. It's precious.Delete
Yes, I read about that too. I think Baby Crawley will remind her too much about Matthew. *sighs* I do hope that somewhere, somehow in this 4th season, she will be happy and "choose life" as dear old Granny suggested. :)Delete
You pegged it, Alyssa. Still... her son deserves to be loved and cherished by his mama, and that's what I hope to see before the season ends. Or as you better put it, I fervently hope she takes Granny's advice! :)Delete
I CAN'T WAIT!!!ReplyDelete
*High Five*Delete
So great! I saw most of these already, but for the ones with Rose/Rose, Anna, Jimmy. I love Rose's dress and hat in those pictures! Did you also read the Daily Mail articles where these photos were added to? Such a lot of details about the upcoming series!ReplyDelete
...I figured most everyone had seen these, Birdie, but well, I just couldn't resist. ;)
That shot of Rose, Anna and Jimmy was one of my favorites; love all of Rose's lovely costumes.
No, I don't think I've seen that article. Not sure - I know I have read several but that one isn't familiar. Thanks for the tip!
This is one of the articles, Rissi: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2412554/Downton-dances-new-tune-An-exclusive-backstage-look-Britains-favourite-Abbey-series-period-drama-begins.html. And from it, you can click to other articles. I believe the newspaper had a whole Downton Abbey section last weekend!Delete
A million thanks, Birdie! What an informative article and collection of links - you'll notice I took advantage of that and added MORE photos. :)
Again... my sincere thanks!
Ah, that's great! And look, there's even more: http://www.farfarawaysite.com/section/downton/gallery4/gallery2/gallery1/gallery.htm
Just saw this link today at LiveJournal. Some of the pictures are rather spoilery and the large versions load very slowly, but there are some of Mary with the baby, so that's great!
Oh. My. Word.
Those are just... no words!
Added some to Pinterest. Thanks a million for sharing, Birdie! :)
Hehe, glad you liked them!Delete
I sure did, Birdie. So gorgeous. :)Delete
I don't watch but I do looove the clothes and hair styles.ReplyDelete
Wait!? You don't watch 'Downton' Juju!? Oh, my. It is a keeper. :)
It's incredible how different the costumes and "look" of this series has undergone in four years - we started in the aftermath of the Titanic and now have entered the wilder age of the roaring 20's. So much potential there! :)
I can't wait!! When does it start? I am seriously excited.ReplyDelete
Neither can I, Angela. So anxious. :)
The series starts in the U.K. this month and in the U.S January 2014. :)
I am excited for Rose's storyline. I think it will allow the writers to deal with a lot of social issues of the time, especially now that Sybil is gone. It is nice that there will be more diversity in the cast this season. I can not wait!!
~Miss Littlefield
I like Rose also, Miss Littlefield. I think she has potential to be a fun character - I just hope she doesn't wind up to be a "copycat" of Lady Sybil.
Ditto! Eager to watch this season after months of speculation. :)
I so cannot wait for this! It's going to be devastating to watch it without Matthew! :(ReplyDelete
In the same boat, Leah. We'll be anxious together. :)Delete
Obsessed! Can't wait! Still heartbroken over Matthew! I'm curious to see how Mary will handle it.
xo TJ
Since the series starts 6 months after Matthew's death, I think the healing will have slowly started. That being said, she will probably still have a lot to work through, once she does, she'll be alright - or that is my hope, TJ!
Lovely of you to stop by, visit again anytime. Hope things are going well for you. :)
I'm so frickin' excited!!!!!!ReplyDelete
...couldn't say it any better, Natalie! :)Delete

Stop losing your time
Lies, take a glass of wine
You'd be better blind
Knock, knock , someone is knocking at the door
It's the reality saying you don't have to cry anymore
Why ? she asked to the lonely True
Because the hell, with your soul is full
And this is a reason to smile ?
Yes, now you'll pay , and everything will be fine.

Product Description
I know several Husker followers might not agree with me on this, but for whatever purpose, Memorial Stadium isn't a significant issue anymore. The fans are still as passionate as ever and among the very best in the nation, which makes it even tougher to figure out. What I think will help Nebraska on Saturday is that the game is at evening. For some purpose there just looks to be a diverse feeling or environment in the stadium when the game is in the evening. Day games just don't look to bring as significantly excitement and that seems to be evident in the crew's play.
"Whether it's tight bracelets or a ring on your finger, something that is constricting could result in vascular insufficiency-meaning the blood movement is being altered by some external force. In this situation, it's the new, hip custom silicone wristbands," Dr. Gregory Simonian stated.
So with all the ready manufactured stamps on the industry, why get rubber bracelets stamps manufactured? To display individuality, or an unique image not identified in shops. Mass created stamps normally have the most popular images and text, because the firm making them has to hold their costs down. Particular buy products are tough to locate, and when dealing with massive firms, can be prohibitively costly.
Thanksgiving Day is celebrated on the 4th Thursday each November. It is typically a loved ones & pals day, then sharing the items you've been thankful for the 12 months. Wristbands can come into perform as well on this particular day by offering your loved ones some custom silicone wristbands that says "Thank you" or "Thank you God, I'm grateful", and you bet to see the smiles on their faces.

Have you accumulated a substantial amount of debt and see no feasible way to pay it down? If you are struggling to make monthly payments, filing for bankruptcy can allow you the freedom from debt that you need to rebuild your finances and move forward with your life. In Alabama, individuals who do not possess sufficient income to repay creditors may qualify for the discharge of debts through Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
The decision to pursue a bankruptcy of any kind must not be taken lightly and every financial option should be taken into consideration. At Jaffe & Erdberg, P.C., we help clients to understand if a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is the right option for their situation. If you are seeking debt-reduction solutions and would like to learn more about your legal options, contact our Birmingham Chapter 7 bankruptcy lawyers.
Bankruptcy can help to eliminate issues including:
Are you ready to pursue a debt-free life? Call (205) 333-3333 and speak to an attorney today.
In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, your unsecured debt such as car payments and credit cards will be discharged. In exchange, your assets will be subject to liquidation towards the goal of repaying your creditors. It is important to understand that not all debts will be erased in this way. Items such as child support, alimony, taxes, and student loans are generally not eligible for discharge under Chapter 7. If you decide that Chapter 7 is right for you, our attorneys can help you to structure your bankruptcy so that you hold on to as much of your property as possible.
This method is generally best for lower-income individuals and in order to qualify, a person must pass a "means test" examining their income-to-debt ratio. Individuals who make over a certain amount of money or can reasonably repay debts may not be eligible under this chapter. Past bankruptcies may also affect an applicant's eligibility. Those who do not qualify may still be eligible under Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
If you are ready to remove the burden of debt, contact Jaffe & Erdberg, P.C. today. Our Birmingham Chapter 7 bankruptcy lawyers put clients first and can work to provide effective advocacy at each step of a bankruptcy and beyond. After your case has ended, you may still be left with many questions. For this reason, our firm has partnered with 720creditscore.com, a service which helps clients rebuild their credit after bankruptcy. We have handled thousands of cases and can help you to secure your financial freedom.

I saw this picture on Pinterest and I think there are a few things I would change. Here is my top 10 list for the best things in the world.
- a soft, affectionate touch from someone you care about
- sweet doggy kisses when you are sad
- randomly hearing your favorite song
- that moment when I eat a petit four from this bakery back home.
- the feeling of love and being loved
- seeing someone you care about genuinely happy
- gorgeous spring days playing in the park
- ass in the water, toes in the sand, cold drink in my hand 🙂
- finishing your best friend's sentences because you are so in sync
- feeling sexy

Rodrigo De la torre
I am a third year student at NYU pursuing a B.S. degree in Neural Science with minors in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies (CAMS) and Philosophy. I am particularly interested in the neural processes of learning and the extent to which this is affected by neurodegenerative diseases. In order to further investigate neurodegeneration, this summer I worked in Dr. Henry Paulson's lab at the University of Michigan investigating Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3 (SCA3). I worked with PhD candidate Lauren Moore on researching autophagic dysfunction in human embryonic stem cells and differentiated neurons which underlies the atrophy of the cerebellum and brainstem. At NYU I am working in the lab of Dr. Marisa Carrasco alongside PhD candidate Ian Donovan investigating endogenous perceptual learning and whether there is significant transfer of improvement to untrained visual areas. As I hope to pursue a PhD education in Neural Science, I would be afforded the opportunity to further delve into the molecular mechanisms behind learning and memory, which, in turn, could yield more effective treatments for those who suffer from a neurodegenerative disease and develop strategies for enhancing effective learning.
