Dear members,
This freezing Uposatha Day , I would love to share this Milindapanha with you all... I truly admire Thera Nagasena's answer ...and nowaday I practice LOVING KINDNESS/BRAHMAVIHARA 4..that may lead me/Tep/Sirikanya to become ANAGAMIs in many many many lives from now.....This is our dreamy vehicle to be in......
The Questions Of King Milinda
[Translated by T.W.Rhys Davids]
Question: KINDNESS AND PUNISHMENT
King: 'Venerable Nâgasena, the Blessed One said:
"Doing no injury to any one
Dwell full of love and kindness in the world 1."
And on the other hand he said: "Punish him who deserves punishment 2, favour him who is worthy of favour." [185] Now punishment, Nâgasena, means the cutting off of hands or feet, flogging 3, casting into bonds, torture 4, execution, degradation in rank 5.
Such a saying is therefore not worthy of the Blessed One, and he ought not to have made use of it. For if the first injunction be right then this must be wrong, and if this be right then the injunction to do no injury to any one, but to dwell full of love and kindness in the world, must be wrong. This too is a double-edged problem now put to you, and you have to solve it.'
Nagasena: 'The Blessed One, great king, gave both the commands you quote. As to the first, to do no injury to any one, but to live full of love and kindness in the world--that is a doctrine approved by all the Buddhas. And that verse is an injunction, an unfolding of the Dhamma, for the Dhamma has as its characteristic that it works no ill. And the saying is thus in thorough accord with it. But as to the second command you quote that is a special use of terms [which you have misunderstood. The real meaning of them is: "Subdue that which ought to be subdued, strive after, cultivate, favour what is worthy of effort, cultivation, and approval"]. The proud heart, great king, is to be subdued, and the lowly heart cultivated--the wicked heart to be subdued, and the good heart to be cultivated--carelessness of thought is to. be subdued, and exactness of thought to be cultivated--[186] he who is given over to wrong views is to be subdued, and he who has attained to right views is to be cultivated--he who is not noble 1 is to be subdued, and the noble one is to be cultivated--the robber 1 is to be subdued, and the honest brother is to be cultivated.'
King: 'Let that be so, Nâgasena. But now, in that last word of yours, you have put yourself into my power, you have come round to the sense in which I put my question. For how, venerable Nâgasena, is the robber to be subdued by him who sets to work to subdue him?'
Nagasena: 'Thus, great king--if deserving of rebuke let him be rebuked, if of a fine let him be fined, if of banishment let him be banished, if of death let him be put to death.'
King: 'Is then, Nâgasena, the execution of robbers part of the doctrine laid down by the Tathâgatas?'
Nagasena: 'Certainly not, O king.'
King: 'Then why have the Tathâgatas laid down that the robber is to be taught better?'
Nagasena: 'Whosoever, great king, may be put to death, he does not suffer execution by reason of the opinion put forth by the Tathâgatas. He suffers by reason of what he himself has done. But notwithstanding that the doctrine of the Dhamma has been taught (by the Buddhas) 2, would it be possible, great king, for a man who had done nothing wrong, and was walking innocently along the streets, to be seized and put to death by any wise person?'
King: 'Certainly not.'
Negasena: 'But why?'
King: 'Because of his innocence.'
Nagasena: 'Just so, great king, since the thief is not put to death through the word of the Tathâgata, but only through his own act, how can any fault be rightly found on that account with the Teacher?'
King: 'It could not be, Sir.'
Nagasena: 'So you see the teaching of the Tathâgatas is a righteous teaching.'
King: 'Very good, Nâgasena! That is so, and I accept it as you say.'

For those who've never read the Bible and for those who've read it too much. Lacey's "dangerously real" retelling of Scripture vividly demonstrates that the Bible is packed full of stories, poems, and images that resonate with the big issues of today. This fresh paraphrase-come-running-commentary brings the text alive: Bible stories are retold as mini blockbusters; psalms as song lyrics; epistles as emails; Revelation as seen through a virtual reality headset. Out with stale religious terms, here's a "Bible" which talks today's language—gritty, earthy, and witty. Enough starting at Genesis with good intentions and getting lost in Leviticus-Lacey succeeds in revitalizing a classic work by focusing on the big picture: fast-forwarding through the "slow-moving" bits with pace, passion, and energy to make the Bible a page turner. Lacey's tour de force was created during a remarkable personal journey through terminal cancer: the stuff Bible stories are made of. This life-experience injects Lacey's take on Scripture with authenticity and authority—resonating with Bible characters who also wrestled with the big questions. Purist alert: This is not THE Bible (capital B)… but it might just get you reaching for one.

The 11th edition of this leading reference is an outstanding, scientifically based source of information in the field of dental materials science. It presents up-to-date information on materials that are used in the dental office and laboratory every day, emphasizing practical, clinical use, as well as the physical, chemical, and biological properties of materials. Extensive new clinical photographs in this edition illustrate the topics, and color plates are integrated close to related concepts as they're discussed in each chapter. A new glossary of key terms found at the beginning of every chapter defines terms in the appropriate context of the chapter's discussion. Also in this edition, critical thinking questions throughout the book stimulate the readers' curiosity on specific topics, test their existing knowledge, and heighten their awareness of important or controversial subjects. Content outlines at the beginning of each chapter provide a quick reference for specific topics. The roles played by key organizations in ensuring the safety and efficacy of dental materials and devices are described - such as the American Dental Association, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the International Organization for Standardization, and the Fédération Dentaire Internationale. Up-to-date Selected Readings are presented at the end of each chapter to direct readers to supplemental literature on each topic. Numerous boxes and tables throughout summarize and illustrate key concepts and compare characteristics and properties of various dental materials. Distinguished contributors lend their credibility and experience to the text. Content has been completely updated to include information on the most current dental materials available. Glossaries at the beginning of each chapter define key terms used within the context of that chapter. Revised artwork gives this edition a fresh look, with high-quality illustrations and clinical photos to aid in the visualization of materials and procedures described. Reorganization and consolidation of chapters into four major book parts presents the material in a more efficient way: Part I describes the principles of materials science that control the performance of dental materials in dental laboratories, research laboratories, student dental clinics, public health clinics, and private practice clinics. Part II focuses on impression materials, gypsum products, dental waxes, casting investments and procedures, and finishing and polishing abrasives and procedures. Part III provides an updated scientific and applied description of the composition, manipulation principles, properties, and clinical performance of bonded restorations, restorative resins, dental cements, dental amalgams, and direct-filling golds. Part IV presents a basic and applied description of materials that are processed in a laboratory or dental clinic. Critical thinking questions appear in every chapter to stimulate thinking and classroom discussion. The overall design has been improved to provide a more visually appealing format.

The federal government is giving a lot of money to community health centers so they can teach patients about the ins and outs of health care reform – and Los Angeles is no exception.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced on Wednesday that more than 1,100 health centers across the U.S. were awarded grants totaling $150 million in order to fund the effort to enroll millions of people into health insurance.
Thirty-three of those grants went to L.A. County, which collectively received more than $6.2 million. Of those 33 health centers, 10 are either located in South L.A. or serve patients from the area. The list includes:
- Central City Community Health Center, Inc. ($143,612)
- Eisner Pediatric & Family Medical Center ($185,456)
- JWCH Institute, Inc. ($282,245)
- Northeast Community Clinic, Inc. ($99,326)
- South Bay Family Health Center ($136,814)
- South Central Family Health Center ($171,574)
- St. John's Well Child and Family Center ($300,769)
- T.H.E. Clinic, Inc. ($120,391)
- UMMA Community Clinic ($94,000)
- Watts Healthcare Corporation ($142,710)
That adds up to more than $1.6 million for South L.A. All eight member sites of the Southside Coalition of Community Health Centers were among L.A. County's recipients.
Louise McCarthy, the president and CEO of the Community Clinic Association of Los Angeles County, said the clinics will use that money to both train existing staff on how to do effective outreach and hire new staff to expand outreach capacity.
"Each clinic that received this funding received an amount based on the number of patients they serve, the number of folks they have who are uninsured and their capacities related to enrollment," she explained. "They are going to be catering their efforts to the individual community they serve, because every community is going to respond to [outreach efforts] a little bit differently."
For the most part, people who are uninsured are looking at two options: Covered California, the statewide health insurance marketplace, or Medi-Cal, which is slated to expand its rolls by more than 1 million Californians starting in 2014.
In South L.A., more patients are expected to benefit from the Medi-Cal expansion than from Covered California. An estimated 1.2 million currently uninsured Angelenos are expected to become eligible for one of the two.
McCarthy noted that this latest grant brings the total health care reform-backed funding for L.A. County's health centers to $72 million.
"What's good about this [grant] is it's not just about [Medi-Cal], its not just about Covered California," she said. "It's about whatever people are eligible for, and helping them navigate."
In other words, clinics can use this money to help patients get health insurance through whatever means possible.
There are 51 community health centers across L.A. County, and each year they collectively provide care for more than 1 million patients, most of whom are uninsured.
The Health Resources and Services Administration has the full list of the 125 health centers in California that received funding through this grant.

Potential New Rifle Owner...
I am looking into buying a rifle for when I am visiting with my nephew. He likes to hunt, and I don't want to just stand around and watch all of the time. I was l However...I don't know where to begin, and there are things that concern me.
I'm 33. When I was in my early 20s, I was arrested for having a knife in my car that was said to be a concealed weapon(double bladed). That's a felony on my record.
I live in Chicago and I don't think guns are permitted here(without a huge hassle). That's fine. I will be keeping it in Michigan if I need to, where I will use it.
What State would be easier to purchase a rifle in, Michigan or Illinois?
What would I need to do so in either State?
Am I likely to be denied a rifle because of the felony on my record?

You say you were arrested for having a concealed weapon that that it was a felony arrest. Were you, however, convicted of a felony or were the charges later dropped or plead down to a misdemeanor? If you have a felony conviction then you are, by federal law, prohibited from buying or even owning a firearm.

Yes, I was convicted.
That's disappointing that I can't own a firearm. Is there anything I can do to have this resolved? It was over 12 years ago. I didn't have an attorney worth anything at that point because I was young and stupid. I should have fought it more.
I had purchased the knife at a Civil War Reenactment show, and it probably fell between my seats or something. I was pulled over for speeding one day, and they found it.

There may be other state law restrictions that could apply.
As for resolving the situation, you will really need to contact a qualified lawyer in the State in which you were convicted to see what, if anything, could be done to remove the disability. You'll want a lawyer well versed in both criminal law and firearms law (both state and federal).

Carrying a concealed weapon (prior to CCW in WI) was a misdemeanor. Now its carrying a concealed weapon without a permit and its still a misdemeanor.
That being the case its a felony because of state laws. It is possible to have a felony conviction overturned or at least changed to a conviction of a lesser crime after the fact if its at the state level. I have heard of cases where this was done after appealing to the DA and Governor. Of course this is only hearsay and can't be taken as truth but that's at least a glimmer of hope right?
As Mr. Ettin said, find yourself a lawyer who is well versed in criminal law AND firearms laws to try and fix this issue. If/once the issue has been fixed move to a more politically friendly state.
This is who we are, what we do.

Frank Ettin gave good advice about contacting a lawyer (not surprising since he is one himself). It is possible that you may be able to have your record expunged, but a lawyer more familiar with your local and state laws could probably give you better guidance than we can.

Expungement and restoration of rights are two different, but related things. It is possible to get a matter expunged without restoration of rights, at least in Arkansas. bologna, if you ever want to own a firearm again, you need both. Honestly, you'll need a lawyer to get that done.
Good luck!
I'm a lawyer, but I'm not your lawyer. If you need some honest-to-goodness legal advice, go buy some.

Bologna, we've had two attorneys, versed in federal firearms law, say what needs to be done. That's all that really needs to be said on this particular matter.
Question asked and answered.

he beeping you hear is coming from the AFC West champion Denver Broncos, who are moving in reverse, having lost three in a row.
The bleeping you hear is coming from the Black Hole, which watched the Oakland Raiders blow a chance Sunday to get to the playoffs for the first time since 2002.
How the West was won? This was more, does anybody want the West?
The Broncos, who will host Pittsburgh in a first-round game, came into their finale against Kansas City in control of their own destiny. Beat the Chiefs, and the division crown was theirs. Denver lost, 7-3.
During Denver's three-game losing streak, Tim Tebow has had one touchdown pass and seven turnovers.
Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey wasn't pointing at Tebow, but the entire team, when he said: "For us to go out there and play the way we did, expecting to do anything in the playoffs, it's not going to cut it. We've got to find a way to get better."
In losing, they left open the door for the Raiders, who could have claimed the West by winning their home game against San Diego. Oakland was torched, 38-26, losing to its former coach Norv Turner, now likely to be dismissed by the Chargers. It was Oakland's fourth loss in five games.
"This team needs an attitude adjustment," said Raiders coach Hue Jackson, a former Ravens quarterbacks coach. "What I mean by that is the killer instinct has got to exist here.
"This feeling that I've had has been here all year. You try to change it, change it, change it. You do a lot of different things, and I haven't been able to get it changed."
There's plenty of change in this season's postseason. The regulars are there — Green Bay, New England, the Ravens, New Orleans, Pittsburgh and Atlanta — but there are relatively fresh faces too: San Francisco, Cincinnati, Detroit, Denver and the Houston Texans, who are in for the first time.
That's not to suggest all of those teams are on a roll. Of the four AFC teams playing on the opening weekend, only Pittsburgh won Sunday, while the Bengals, Texans and Broncos are all looking to regroup.
Despite a 24-16 loss to the Ravens — a victory that secured the Ravens the AFC North — Cincinnati claimed the sixth seed in the AFC with the New York Jets' loss at Miami. It's just the third time in 21 seasons the Bengals have made the playoffs.
In the NFC, Detroit will play at New Orleans, and the winner of Sunday night's Dallas-New York Giants game will host Atlanta.
Unbelievable understudy
With the NFC's top seed locked up, Green Bay rested quarterback Aaron Rodgers for the finale against Detroit.
That didn't prove to be much of a respite for the Lions, however, as backup Matt Flynn set Packers records with 480 yards passing and six touchdowns.
"Just think of all of the great quarterbacks that have come through here," Flynn said. "It's very humbling. I just thank everybody around me and everything. I couldn't have done it, obviously, by myself. There's weapons all around me, and the line did a great job."
It was an amazing game for Detroit's Matthew Stafford, too, who threw for 520 yards and five touchdowns. According to STATS LLC, it was the first time in NFL history opposing quarterbacks each threw for 400-plus yards and five-plus touchdowns in a game. What's more, the teams' combined 971 net yards passing broke the record of 906 set this season in a Week1 game between New England and Miami.
A stroke of Luck
In dropping their finale to Jacksonville, 19-17, the Colts are assured of the No. 1 pick in the 2012 draft, presumably Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck.
Both Indianapolis and St. Louis finished 2-14, but the Colts have the edge with the strength-of-schedule tiebreaker.
Peyton Manning, recovering from multiple neck surgeries, insists he hasn't given the draft much thought, although that's hard to imagine for a quarterback who analyzes everything five times over.
"The Colts are going to do what they have to do," Manning said. "The draft is something the personnel department will address. They'll deal with that as they see fit. … I think I can coexist with any player I've ever played with."
Some have suggested that Luck is the best quarterback prospect since fellow Stanford product John Elway in 1983, who snubbed the Baltimore Colts when they made him the No. 1 pick.
Mo yards
Jacksonville's Maurice Jones-Drew finished in style, running for a season-high 169 yards to easily claim the rushing title with 1,606. The two backs closest to him in the standings — Philadelphia's LeSean McCoy and Houston's Arian Foster — were inactive Sunday.
Jones-Drew also broke the franchise mark of 1,572 yards, set by Fred Taylor in 2003.
"As long as Mo stays healthy, he'll break every single record I ever set," Taylor said in a text message to the Associated Press. "He's a special talent with great work habits and deserves to be rewarded as such."
Last dance
That's a wrap for Miami's Jason Taylor, the NFL's active sacks leader, who ended his 15-year career with a strong performance in a 19-17 victory over the Jets.
"It was a good way to end this thing, to beat your No. 1 rivals in your home stadium in your last game," said Taylor, whose pressure helped force Mark Sanchez into a pivotal interception. "I'm very, very happy and blessed to be where I am."
Taylor, who finished with 139.5 career sacks, lined up at tailback for the final two plays as the Dolphins ran out the clock. His teammates then carried him off the field.

For double-coated tapes, when the adhesive is on both sides of the tape, you'll need a hand-held tape dispenser for the most efficient application. As you apply the tape, the dispenser rewinds the liner onto the take-up spool. The JVCC 925DC Double-Coated Tape Dispenser has a heavy formed steel frame for maximum durability and long life. With adjustable tension brakes on the tape roll holder and a scrap rewind spool, you'll have the best performance with rolls of any tape weight. A serrated blade is attached to the dispenser for easy cutting.
Note: The JVCC 925DC double-coated tape dispenser is not recommended for thick, hard to cut tapes like double-coated cloth and carpet tapes. It holds rolls up to 2 inches wide with a maximum diameter of 5.5 inches on a 3-inch core.

The University of Tennessee Health Science Center is set to revamp its campus, and the school will host a public information session on the development of a new master plan Tuesday, Nov. 5, from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the Student-Alumni Center Dining Hall, 800 Madison Ave.
The new Transitional Science Research Building is one of several changes going on at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center.
(Daily News/Andrew J. Breig)
"The meeting will be an information session to let people know that the planning process is underway, what the timeline is like for the planning process, and to share with the community how we think the planning and the execution of our campus master plan are going to change the UTHSC footprint," said Sheila Champlin, UTHSC assistant vice chancellor of communications and marketing.
The school will outline a growth trajectory for the next 10 to 15 years, including a 24-month schedule for the development of the new master plan.
"We're at a critical juncture in the evolution of the Health Science Center," said Dr. Ken Brown, UTHSC executive vice chancellor and chief operations officer. "In the past three to five years, we've received between $250 million and $300 million in capital improvement money to redesign the infrastructure of the campus."
Nearly $250 million has come from the state of Tennessee.
Brown expects to see some acquisition of adjacent properties and the development of new strategies for how the campus will function.
"Now is an opportune time to lay out a bold, aggressive vision for how the university can serve the nucleus around which the medical district can grow into something that turns Memphis into a health care research incubator destination for the rest of the country," Brown said.
Perkins-Will recently won the bid to draft the new campus master plan, which is expected to produce proposals for property acquisition, partnerships, land use, site selection, building use, open space, circulation and utility systems.
Critical partnerships that will shape plans are UTHSC's relationships with the Regional Medical Center at Memphis and the Memphis Bioworks Foundation.
"We will look at how the university and The MED can dovetail their respective infrastructures together, and how the university and Bioworks Foundation can fully integrate around a research incubator building to support the vivarium they've built, so we can bring tech transfer and startup companies into the medical district," Brown said.
More than 102 years after the campus first opened, the only pieces of the original college that remain are the location along Madison Avenue and a few medical instruments preserved behind glass as curiosities, according to the school's centennial book, published in 2011.
Campus projects already underway include a multidisciplinary simulation center and a translational research building. Its $70 million pharmacy building came online a little more than a year ago.
"We completed the first four floors of the pharmacy building, and we're in the process of building out the interiors of the fifth and sixth floors with wet lab space to do pharmaceutical research," Brown said.
The translational building at the corner of Union Avenue and Manassas Street is in the final stages of completion and is expected to be finished in the next three to six months, and the $5 million demolition of several older buildings on the campus is also in the final stages.
Next up will be a $70 million project designed by Hnedak Bobo Group Inc. for the school's historic quadrangle.
Brg3s Architects is also currently designing a pharmaceutical compounding facility to be built on the campus. The Plough Foundation donated approximately $4 million to support the project, and Brown expects UTHSC to kick in another $5 million.
"For our master plan going forward, we are also in the process of designing a second building for the College of Dentistry, we want to design a building for the College of Medicine, and we are in the process of acquiring some properties owned by Bioworks Foundation where we plan to do some demolition and construction," Brown said.

MORE MET: The bold-faced names expected to attend Monday's Costume Institute gala at New York's Metropolitan Opera House keep rolling in. The latest addition is Jennifer Lopez and hubby Marc Anthony, who will be joining Bruno Frisoni at Roger Vivier's table. Coincidentally, much of the Vivier line is inspired by Poiret, including the Rosine clutch, named after Poiret's famed fragrance.
Meanwhile, Jennifer Hudson is serving as the evening's entertainment. She is expected to wear a Michael Kors creation, and will be introduced on stage by two of the party's co-chairs, Cate Blanchett and Balenciaga's creative director, Nicolas Ghesquière. Her choice of songs could not be learned. While fashion houses are typically loath to confirm any of their celebrity guests until the moment they step out on the red carpet in one of their creations, other celebrities said to be ascending the Met's grand staircase on Monday night include Jennifer Garner, Mischa Barton, Kirsten Dunst, Kate Bosworth, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Lindsay Lohan, Kate Hudson, Liv Tyler and Emily Blunt.
LOVE FEST: Anyone nostalgic for the good ol' hippie days can look forward to the fifth annual Whitney Art Party on June 6, which this year will take its thematic lead from the museum's upcoming show, "Summer of Love: Art of the Psychedelic Era." Max and Lubov Azria, Kate Bosworth, Ed and Christy Turlington Burns, Meredith Melling Burke and Roopal Patel will cochair, while the event's host committee boasts the likes of Michelle Williams, Chloë Sevigny, Rose McGowan, Liv Tyler, Camilla Belle, Joy Bryant, Rihanna, Maria Sharapova and Eve. Held at Skylight Studios in Manhattan, the party will include a Sotheby's silent auction of works by artists such as Ryan McGinness, Marilyn Minter and Dennis Hopper. Whether any of the fashionistas will put aside their skinny jeans for the night in favor of bell bottoms remains to be seen.

TEAM TORI: Piano songstress Tori Amos performed an intimate set Tuesday night at the "American Idol"-meets-karaoke bar Spotlight Live in Times Square to kick off the release of her latest album, "American Doll Posse." Music industry folk and fans were treated to a 30-minute sampling of the multipersona album (American Doll Posse members are Tori, Pip, Isabel, Santa and Clyde — all of whom are different figments of Amos' imagination). Each comes with her own personality and style, from glamour girl to rocker chick. And each has her own namesake cocktail (Tori's is a Champagne cocktail with passion fruit). The show was broadcast live on Sirius Satellite Radio, but performed by Tori only: "The girls are off practicing the piano, I had to crack the whip," she joked.
OPERA ASCENDANT: Models Jessica Stam and May Anderson are not your typical operagoers, but the two showed up for the world premiere of "Orfeo ed Euridice" at the Metropolitan Opera Wednesday night. That should please general manager Peter Gelb, who's pushing to get younger crowds into the opera — and this contemporary version of "Orfeo" ought to help his cause. Afterward, director Mark Morris was blasé about his Met debut. "It's not like it's the end of my life," said the bad-boy choreographer, who had just seen his third incarnation of Gluck's opera. "I did it for Jimmy Levine," he said, referring to the legendary conductor. Designer Isaac Mizrahi, who did the costumes, showed more emotion. "I was so nervous!" he said. Meanwhile, well-wishers, including Mikhail Baryshnikov, crowded into the Mercedes T. Bass Grand Tier to congratulate Morris and his team.

Even if a business doesn't require me to dress a certain way, what should I wear as a sales person?
If you're a woman, wear an outfit that is neatly pressed with a matching handbag and unscuffed shoes. Pump up a monochrome suit with a colorful scarf or with funky jewelry. If you really want to make a statement, wear a bold color like lime or orange. Even if that color is only in your briefcase and shoes, it gives your audience the impression of confidence.
For males, go with a navy suit because this is the color that wreaks confidence. Pump up your image through a thicker-striped dress shirt and a bold tie. Be detail oriented in your choice of briefcase and writing instrument, as they can also be used to make a strong impression. Don't forget to buff your wingtips as well! If you carry through that initial impression with a strong message, an upbeat delivery and a firm handshake, you'll be on your way.
Best of luck!

Tantrums are a normal part of development. They happen most between ages 1 and 3 years, but as so many of us know, some kids are huge tantrum throwers, and some are not. Many children have more tantrums prior to and around the time of language development. Before kids are fully verbal, they're frustrated, and in that sense of frustration or hunger or dissatisfaction, tantrums can be an easy way for kids to try to get what they need.
Sometimes it's really hard for us to stop tantrums. There are a couple of times when you can't ignore your child in a tantrum.
Know this: Tantrums do tend to get better after the age of 3. Although they don't go away entirely. Your child will do tantrums to get things that she needs normally and naturally between the ages of 1 and 3 years. Talk with your pediatrician if you're concerned about some of those behaviors. Do your best to remain calm. Use your friends and family around you to help understand how to stand back and wait for tantrums to dissolve on their own so you can come back to your child with great comfort.
You can't avoid every tantrum, but here are some ideas to help you survive them more gracefully.

Naan bread is a type of flat, leavened Indian bread. I'd like to try making it on our grill sometime, but since it's readily available in our area, I buy it ready-made and like to have it on hand, either in the freezer or fridge... to make quick individual pizzas.
Ingredients for four:
- 1 pkg naan bread (4 servings)
- 1/2 cup spaghetti or pizza sauce
- 12 thin slices smoked sandwich ham or turkey, coarsely chopped
- 2 cups grated mozzarella and cheddar cheese
- dried basil
- dried oregano
- Spread bread lightly with your favorite sauce. ( I usually have a started jar of spaghetti sauce in the fridge)
- Top with chopped ham and/or turkey slices and cheese.
- Sprinkle with dried herbs.
- Bake at 400 F about 5-10 minutes, until cheese bubbles.

GLASTONBURY — Hundreds gathered for a memorial service Sunday night in a tearful tribute to a Glastonbury High School student who died Sunday morning.
Jane Modlesky would have been a senior at the high school in the fall. She was on the lacrosse team, and friends Sunday said she was an outgoing and well-liked member of the community.
"For me she was that person I could always go to for advice," said Cate Sweeney, 16.
"I am so proud to call her my friend," Sweeney said. "She was just such an amazing person."
Modlesky died about 5:30 a.m. Sunday on Woodhaven Road after the SUV she was driving hit a tree. Police would not confirm the identity of the driver of the vehicle Sunday night, but said the female victim was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash.
Friends identified Modlesky as the victim.
At the memorial service at St. Dunstan Church, classmates, family and friends gathered to pray and honor Modlesky. The town of Glastonbury was offering grief counseling to students on Sunday night.
"Jane was everyone's best friend," said Morgan Tiroff, 16. "She stood up for what she believed in."

09.10.15 my son loves it, easy riding, nice cushion seat.
By Luke
from Stoneham ma
About Me
He's little, so for now just easy trail riding and side-walk. Nice cushion seat, no need to change it. Seat is a good strong tighten bolt on, not that cheap lever adjuster where you can remove seat. Nothing is bad about this bike, everything looks and seems fine. It's just a great push peddle bike.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Well built bike [...]
By Proud Daddy
from Willow Spring, NC
About Me Getting Started
What can I say. [...] the bike (Trek Jet 16) is perefect. [...] I will be buying all my bikes there in the future. [...] FYI, my son absolutly loved his new bike!
Good and nice looking bike...
By lopek77
from Waterford, MI
Not worth [$] price tag. It's a regular bike with the Trek name on it. Nothing wrong with it, BUT price tag should be around $100-$120 at most for what you getting. Crank and rear wheel movement is not smooth and it's very heavy for a kid bike - It weight about the same as our large frame adult bikes!

Too quickly outgrown
By Trailrunner
from Easton, PA
About Me Casual/ Recreational
We have this bike in 12", 16" and 20" and the problem is the same with the 16 and 20...the chain ring is so small that our kids can't pedal fast enough to keep up on the bike path with their friends who have [...] bikes. The bikes are high quality but become useless pretty fast if you have boys who want to get on with it. My four year old went from riding without training wheels to frustrated in about 4 weeks.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Great Bike
By Moni

My son recieved this bike for his third birthday and is currently three and a half we have taken the training wheels off and he loves it. The bike holds up well and is easy to ride. The wide tires and low frame helped him learn to ride the bike with out the training wheels.

Absolutely Perfect Bike
By TBass
from Surf City, USA
After much searching, we bought a pair of these bikes for our 5 year old twins and they couldn't be happier. They've been riding "box mart" bikes for a couple years and I was constantly having to fix this or replace that. These bikes are sturdy, well constructed, and built to last. When looking for a good bike, I strongly suggest spending a little more money than you'd anticipate for a childs bike. It's definitely worth it!

Solid little bike
By Jimmy
from Sterling, VA
About Me Avid Cyclist
This is the bike my daughter learned to ride without training wheels. She was highly motivated and learned quickly, in about a week. The Jet 16 is a very solid, well build little bike. It provided a very stable platform for learning, yet good enough performance that she was able to ride it up to twelve miles. At $[...], it is a little pricey for a kid's bike, so if your child is not going to ride often, you might want to find something cheaper. However, if you plan to get them out with you on the trails and log some miles, this little bike will give them more than enough to grow and learn with.

Wedding bells are in order for Courteney Cox! The actress confirmed her plans to get hitched to Snow Patrol's Johnny McDaid on Twitter last night, making the announcement by posting a photo of herself and McDaid with the caption, "I'm engaged to him!"
Adorably, McDaid also tweeted the news by sharing the same photo (one minute apart from Cox) with the words: "I'm engaged to her!"
I'm engaged to him! pic.twitter.com/gsFtZkb3Bk— Courteney Cox (@CourteneyCox) June 27, 2014
Cox and McDaid, 37, have been dating since last year and their engagement follows that of Cox's buddy and Friends co-star Jennifer Aniston, who is set to marry Justin Theroux. This is McDaid's first marriage; Cox was previously married to David Arquette for 14 years.
It has certainly been a momentous year for Cox! Not only did she get engaged, but she also celebrated her 50th birthday and made her directorial debut with the film Just Before I Go. Cox spoke to InStyle.com in April about the movie, and shared how she personally related to the relationship dynamics that it portrayed.
"Well, I'm really attracted to family issues. I have a really unique situation," she told us. "Here I am, David's my ex-husband but he's one of my very best friends. And then I'm in a relationship [with McDaid]. And he is friends with David, and it's kind of a new thing to be just this comfortable and this okay with everything. David just has my back."
Cox has one 10-year-old daughter, Coco Riley, from her marriage to Arquette. (We're hoping that she'll be the flower girl in McDaid and Cox's wedding.)
Congratulations to the happy couple!

OAKLAND — A 19-year-old man killed in a drive-by shooting Thursday afternoon as he was leaving a friend's house in East Oakland was identified as William Ward, police said Friday.
Ward, an Oakland resident, was walking in the 8300 block of Hillside Street at about 3:15 p.m. when he was shot. Police have not made any arrests and don't have a motive in the slaying.
Police on Friday also said that a 34-year-old man who collapsed and died during a fight Thursday with another man in the backyard of a house in another part of East Oakland was not the victim of a homicide.
An autopsy revealed no signs of trauma to Jason Hughes of Oakland. Although the cause of death is deferred pending toxicology results, it appears Hughes apparently died from either an existing medical condition — he suffered from asthma — or another medical problem, authorities said.
Police said Hughes was fighting with a 60-year-old man who lived at the house in the 6300 block of MacArthur Boulevard where the death occurred at about 9:30 a.m. Thursday. Police would not say what the men were fighting over.
Earlier Thursday, Kyal Porter, 24, of Oakland was shot while riding a bicycle at 5:32 a.m. in the 9800 block of A Street near International Boulevard. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Porter lived in a different part of East Oakland, not close to where he was found shot to death, police said.
More than a dozen shots had been fired, authorities said. Investigators were interviewing possible witnesses and reviewing video surveillance from cameras in the area looking for leads. No arrests have been made.

Ypsilanti woman, daughter featured on 'Katie Couric Show' to discuss rare syndrome
Courtesy photo | KatieCouric.com
An Ypsilanti woman and her daughter appeared on the "Katie Couric Show" Tuesday to discuss children with health conditions that can be difficult to comprehend, MLive reports.
Adrian College adjunct professor Cristina Trapani-Scott's daughter Kiki Peck has Kniest syndrome, a rare form of dwarfism.
The episode was about a book written by Andrew Solomon, titled "Far From the Tree: Parents, Children and the Search for Identity."
Peck, 14, has difficulty with range of motion and walking. She was born without type II collagen in her cartilage, making her bones thinner and weaker than average, according to MLive. The mother and daughter talked about how their relationship has been strengthened due to the syndrome.
Read the full MLive article here.

Great article. Great story. Kiki is a beautiful young woman and strong individual. Any time people can serve as role models and inspiration to others, whether they have special needs or not, it is a worthy effort. For parents of babies, or young children, who have special needs and are facing so much uncertainty, seeing positive outcomes is extremely comforting. I think since not all outcomes are as satisfying as others, for parents of older special needs kids who are still struggling in a severe manner, these stories can be bittersweet. The stories are no less valuable, however; that "can do" spirit can be inspirational to anybody. Thanks Kiki!
Sat, Jan 12, 2013 : 3:48 a.m.
You have a special need child. We know about all sorts of problems our special needs children have. Why display it on television unless you are asking for money? Sorry but this is not news. Just another way for parents to vent.
Sat, Jan 12, 2013 : 4:30 p.m.
This is an article which broadens my view of the world. It also serves as a reminder that we don't have support in place, emotional as well as financial, for families who need it. News - noun ( usually used with a sing. v. ) 1. a report of a recent event; intelligence; information: His family has had no news of his whereabouts for months. 2. the presentation of a report on recent or new events in a newspaper or other periodical or on radio or television. 3. such reports taken collectively; information reported: There's good news tonight. 4. a person, thing, or event considered as a choice subject for journalistic treatment; newsworthy material.
Sat, Jan 12, 2013 : 2:02 p.m.
Negative me away. But it is so true. With all the cuts and increase in medical costs, nobama care is going to cut into their budget as well. Special needs children cost a lot of money and it is money the state and feds do not have. Again debt ceiling? Whats that? There is no more money in the coffers.
Sat, Jan 12, 2013 : 1:56 p.m.
Where does the story mention asking for money? It wasn't a way to vent, simply an explanation of a rare disorder, and how the family dealt with it. GEE!
Sat, Jan 12, 2013 : 1:35 p.m.
I know what jns131 is talking about. They're not a miserable human being, just another struggling family struggling to do the right thing in a society that offers little in the way of support.
Sat, Jan 12, 2013 : 1 p.m.
Seriously, is that the only thing you got from this story? Wow! How did you become such a miserable human being? Maybe someone needs to remind you of the old adage, "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all"
Tara Neil Gabel
Fri, Jan 11, 2013 : 11 p.m.
Hi! What an inspiration Cristina and her mother are! My 11 month old baby girl has Kniest (the same form of Dwarfism as Kiki) listening to her sing and share her hopes and dreams was so nice to hear from a 14 year old's point of view:)
Cristina Trapani-Scott
Sun, Jan 13, 2013 : 12:26 a.m.
Tara! This is Cristina and I just wanted to say that your response is extra special, because our whole reason for even allowing Andrew Solomon to interview us, and consequently Katie Couric, was that we hoped that it would offer a little comfort and reassurance to other families. When Kiki was born all I found was a small paragraph telling me what her medical needs might be. There were no books to reassure me that things would be okay. We did meet others with Kniest a bit later. Anway, I just wanted you to know that of all the responses we have had in this Far From the Tree journey this is the one that makes me feel the most that the journey was worthwhile.
Fri, Jan 11, 2013 : 10:02 p.m.
I thought Christina was from Tecumseh? I think she lived there when she worked for the Tecumseh Herald......

Voice fires veteran editor, shifts focus to online edition
By Paul Schindler
Richard Goldstein, an editor at the Village Voice since 1974 who was responsible for creating the newspapers first Queer Issue during gay pride week in 1979, left the weekly newspaper on Aug. 2.
Goldstein, who was the newspapers executive editor the number three editorial post for more than a decade, is publicly clashing with Voice management about whether he was laid off or fired. And Goldsteins comments, though carefully limited, suggest that legal action may be in the offing.
I was fired. I was not laid off, Goldstein said emphatically in a telephone interview on Aug. 5.
I have an attorney, he added, explaining that he was curbing his public comments at the suggestion of counsel.
In an e-mail response to a request for comment the following day, Jessica Bellucci, a spokesperson for the Voice, wrote, I
want to clarify that Richard was not fired, but laid off as part of a restructuring.
Bellucis e-mail went on to say, Richard was laid off as the final step of a restructuring of the editorial department that began last month. It was not an easy decision. We are grateful for his contribution to the paper.
In a New York Times story published Aug. 9, Donald H. Forst, the Voices editor in chief, offered more specific comments about Goldsteins departure, and Goldstein later that day expanded on his comments.
The restructuring situation is tied into our efforts going from a weekly product to, with the Web, daily journalism electronically, in which were putting stuff up on a daily basis, sometimes on an hourly basis, The Times quoted Forst as saying. The restructuring is putting new resources there, to the Web site, while at the same time maintaining the paper.
Forst also said, I had two executive editors, and I only needed one, adding that the executive editor who remained, Laura Conaway, was more valuable, at this point, to me.
Responding to The Times story, Goldstein shot back, The comment made by Don Forst is not in keeping with the facts and I think the facts are scandalous.
Goldstein refused to offer more specifics on his allegation, but he took pains to refute one implication of Forsts comments that his work may not be suited to the tastes of readers accessing the Voice online.
My pieces also do very well on the Web, frequently among the top 10 in terms of hits, Goldstein said. From the action on our Web site and the response I get when I lecture, I know I have appeal among young readers
If the question is my usefulness to the paper, if they are Web-centric, [the suggestion that I am not useful] is not true.
Goldstein, who declined to give his age, acknowledged that younger readers and writers often use words and even sentence syntax in new and innovative ways, but insisted that the ability to communicate in ways that specifically appeal to such an audience, when appropriate, was not tied to a writers age. He also suggested that whatever criteria the Voice is using in its recent employment decisions, quality was not at the top of the list.
I wonder about the papers ability to attract young and vital readers if it gets rid of its creative writers and editors, he said.
Goldstein argued that his firing was unrelated to the restructuring Forst and Bellucci mentioned. Sources familiar with the operation of the Voice agree that the editorial staff was trimmed by six in early July, to a size that Forst, in The Times, estimated as between 60 and 65. The layoffs included Thulani Davis, an African-American journalist who was a senior editor and drama writer, and Alisa Solomon, a lesbian who writes about politics, gender and the arts, has long been associated with CUNYs Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies, and teaches business journalism to graduate students at Baruch College.
Observers agree that, separate from the restructuring, the newspaper also replaced Matt Haber, who had managed the Web product for the past five months, and that Cynthia Cotts, who wrote Press Clips, a media-watch column, recently resigned.
Solomons account of her layoff supports Goldsteins contention that the restructuring took place well in advance of his firing. In a telephone interview, Solomon said she was given notice in late June about three weeks ahead of her July 9 end date.
I was absolutely blindsided by my layoff, she said. I didnt see it coming.
Solomon had written for the Voice since 1983 and was a staff writer for the past 14 years. Last year, Solomon wrote a series of articles about immigration, for which the Voice nominated her for a Pulitzer Prize. As a staff writer, she was paid an annual stipend plus a page rate for those stories published. Sources familiar with Voice operations say that staff writers hired more recently are paid straight salary, presumably ensuring more predictable expenses and greater flexibility in responding to the demand for copy on the Web.
For Solomon and others at the Voice, as well as journalists who have done freelance work for the newspaper in the past, however, too great a demand for copy was not the problem. Instead, it was the shrinking space for editorial content in the Voices print edition. The tough economy and shrinking ad pages, experienced everywhere in the media in the past several years, have certainly been key factors, but observers also point to page competition from types of content unknown in the iconoclastic Village Voice of old an increase of articles on the dance club scene, sex columns tripping over each and what those in the business call service journalism, but readers are more likely to think of as lifestyle helpers.
Solomon, who said she will be doing regular theater writing for the newspaper on a freelance basis and was invited to contribute political stories as well, seems to have taken the shrinking opportunities to get published while on staff in stride.
As anyone can see, the feature well is shrinking, she said. It was harder to get stories approved. But I have done plenty of writing recently. Like anybody, I have had frustrations about space.
Solomon dismissed the suggestion that the changes going on at the Voice represent a stark repudiation of its historical mission.
For all my 21 years at the Voice, I dont remember a time when people didnt say, I used to read the Voice. The Voice is going downhill, referring to some supposed earlier golden age at the Voice, she said. I simply wasnt happy that pieces got shorter.
Despite the departure of Goldstein and Solomon, there is no indication that the Voice is reducing its commitment to gay and lesbian content or staff. Conaway, the surviving executive editor, recently wrote an essay entitled, Dear Mitt: One Queers Message to the Massachusetts Governor, about the politics of same-sex marriage.
Solomon may be looking forward to a continued professional association with the newspaper, but she was willing to speak out against Goldsteins firing.
Losing Richard is enormous and tragic, she said. I think it is just absurd.
A year ago, while she was still writing the newspapers Press Clips column, Cynthia Cotts demonstrated even greater willingness to take on the Voice. In the wake of the layoffs of six editorial staff members in July, Cotts, in her column, wrote, Sadness and paranoia now rule, and a rumor is circulating that more cuts will follow. Her column took note of the fact that 85 of the 115 members of UAW Local 2110 who worked at the newspaper signed a letter declaring our profound outrage and disgust, and stating, We believe the motive here is greed on the part of the papers owners, a greed that is apparently willing to sacrifice editorial quality in pursuit of profits.
Profits and paranoia are still in the air in any discussion of whats going on at the Voice. The Times reported that Voice publisher Judy Miszner conceded that advertising revenues could be better, even as Forst insisted that the newspaper is profitable and not up for sale. Meanwhile, among those close to the Voice, a rumor has been circulating that Local 2110 has filed charges with the National Labor Relations Board alleging that the newspaper is pushing a speed up of work among salaried staff members responsible for writing copy for the Web site. Local 2110 did not return a call seeking comment, but the N.L.R.B. regional office in Manhattan said no charges have been filed against the newspaper.
For his part, Goldstein is not commenting on any of these matters, at least for the time being. But, in an interview, he was willing to recall his long history with the Voice that began in 1966 just after he got his masters in journalism from Columbia University and showed up at the newspapers offices, then located in Sheridan Sq., saying he wanted to be a rock critic.
In the years that followed, he became close to rockers Jim Morrison and Janice Joplin, and in the 80s was among the first to write about artists Keith Haring and David Wojnarowicz. After spending three years at New York magazine in the early 70s, he returned to the newspaper as a senior editor in 1974 at the time that Clay Felker, whom he met at New York, bought the Voice. Goldstein first came out in the late 70s when he had what he described as a a torrid affair with the newspapers art director. Within the same year, he produced the Voices first Queer Issue, which he has stewarded every year since. Goldstein counts as one of his proudest achievements his mentoring of Mark Schoofs, who won a Pulitzer Prize for his 1999 series on AIDS in Africa published in the Voice.
Perhaps Goldsteins most poignant memory, however, is schlepping across the Bronx as a high school student to one of the handful of places in the borough that carried the Voice. Even after getting his B.A. at Hunter College and studying journalism at Columbia, the newspapers allure had not worn off and he went straight from graduate school to the Voice.
It was a dream come true, Goldstein recalled. But they paid bupkis. Columbia was horrified and said I brought down the earnings curve of my class.

text: Hi. I am currently breastfeeding as well as pumping for my 5 week old son, Joshua. While I am confident that I make enough milk for him, I don't seem to make enough to create a surplus supply for when I'm ready to leave Josh with grandma for an overnight so mom can have a night out. It seems like when I pump I get very little (because I've just been nursing) and that there is not enough left for Josh when he's ready to nurse and I so end up giving him what I've pumped. Can someone who breastfeeds and pumps give me an idea of what their routine is like to get a stored milk supply going for when I'm ready to leave Josh with grandma overnight?

Possible Trolling of the Day: Will GQ Magazine Feature A 'Huge Spread' on Fallon Fox?
(Seems legit, right? Photo via mixedmartialarts.com)
By Nathan Smith
Ever since Al Gore invented the internet, print media has slowly walked The Green Mile towards obscurity. Major publications have gone belly up and my kids will probably miss out on cracking open the Sports page while drinking a nice cup of coffee in the morning because newspapers are fading quick. Many magazines have had to resort to gimmicky publicity stunts to keep their heads above water, sling a few more issues, and make payroll for the next month. Whether it is the first photo of some garbage-ass (yeah, I'm bringing it back) reality star's child or coaxing a pseudo-celebrity with a possible substance abuse problem to get naked, print publications are truly scraping the bottom of the barrel. [Ed. note: Good thing we're above stuff like that.]
Potentially proving this point is the picture above which surfaced on The UG yesterday showing a photo-shoot of everyone's favorite transgender MMA fighter Fallon Fox with the caption:
GQ Magazine photoshoot today with a true Pioneer of Women's Mixed Martial Arts.. Fallon Fox – Future UFC and Invicta FC Champion
