The Secret To Better Parenting in the New Year
One Little Change Can Lead To:
Better Relationships With Your Kids
With the new year, we all feel like a fresh start is at hand. And it is! We can start the year looking forward to a better family life and making changes that lead to better parenting.
And probably, all of us have written some type of Parenting goals as part of our New Year's Resolutions. Some of us maybe have a long list of "To Dos" and "Don't do's". How many do we end up implementing at the end? In the past, I've written long resolution lists that were not practical and ended up never used.
Somehow, everyday life gets in the way of our good intentions. Our habits and the stress of getting things done and time ticking by so fast can get the best of us and the best of our time and attention for our children.
Only One New Year's Resolution
This year, I'm sticking to just ONE New Year's Parenting resolution. I believe that if I can just follow this one Parenting Resolution it will not only change me to be a better parent but also improve our family life, relationships and impact how I lead my whole life.
Lately, a quote has changed my perspective on life and time spent with my family. I believe it's the secret to be great parents!
Wherever You Are Be All There – Jim Elliott
A genius statement that can change our attitude towards all of our relationships.
What do you mean I'm not all there?
Have you ever tried to engage someone in conversation who was distracted and didn't give you full eye contact? They might be there present physically but their mind is somewhere else. None of us would feel comfortable pouring our hearts out to someone with such behavior.
Do our children feel like that?
Parenting Resolution: Be Fully Present
The parent version of the quote cited above would read as:
Give your children your full attention.
Be fully present engaging them in that moment.
Such an easy statement to think on but difficult to implement while looking at piles of laundry, trying to finish dinner and attending to children.
Practical Tips To Be Present In The Moment
We definitely can't be in two places at once. Neither can we give full attention to two tasks at once. So put the phone down and play with your kids. Check email while their napping or during quiet time.
Enjoy the little blessings of each day. Don't just go thru the motions. See each bath time, bedtime as a unique opportunity to interact with your child. To enjoy a moment of fun or teaching that might not be repeated.
Relaxing and keeping the right perspective in the midst of a mess is a tough one for moms and dads. But this moment shall pass. You might not remember it in a weeks time. However, your children might remember how you treated them forever.
Actively listen when your kids share their hearts with you. Children are not always 'convenient'. Seems like they need our attention in the most inopportune times.
It can be so easy to just let them talk while we think about all the housework, work, and errands that need to be done. Make the decision to put aside the to do pile and listen.
Giving your full attention to them will make them feel valued and loved. They will safe sharing their heart with you. It might only take a few minutes to talk but their hearts will be satisfied for a lifetime!
Hope these ideas help us all become better parents in this year.
Thanks for reading. Would love to hear how you are fully present with your children.

Great post Karen, These are definitely great reminders. I will sharing on social media. Thanks for posting. Blessings to you, Tina
Being present, we could all put our phones down more. Great Post!
Great advice. Being present in the moment is something I am working on more of. Thanks for sharing with #SmallVictoriesSunday
I really enjoy this post. I am going to share it on this weeks TGIF Blog and Instagram's FEATURE if you don't mind!! It will go live tomorrow morning starting on my blog Three Sisters and Us. If you have any questions feel free to email me. I would love if you posted out HOP BUTTON somewhere on your blog or in a post this weekend for a return!!
Loved that I posted up after you. I posted a review on "Mothering From Scratch" a wonderful book & resource on mothering just this week. I am giving away a copy of the book if you are interested. Parenting is always a challenge. May we realize we are each unique in our mothering style and we each can be successful. Blessings!
I think the concept of being fully in the moment applies beyond parenting and into every aspect of life. Thanks for sharing at the #HomeMattersParty

It's true. I was watching Marie Forleo's channel, and her number one tip for fast tracking success was to be fully in the moment, no matter what you are doing.
Congrats! We are featuring you this Tuesday at our #laughlearnlinkup Thanks for sharing and stop by tomorrow.
Some great tips here. I like the resolution of being present in the moment. Thank you for sharing at Monday's Musings. Have a great week.
Hi, there! I'm stopping by from the Grace and Truth link-up. I love the Jim Elliot quote you included. For me, one way to "be present" is to make more eye contact. So often my children want to tell me a story and I listen to them, but without giving my full attention. Of course, it's not always possible, especially with four children in the house. But if I stop what I'm doing and look them in the eyes, that tells them I am really listening. I can see already that it's making a difference, especially with our strong-willed son!
Thanks for this good reminder,
Great advice especially in a season that everyone is taken up with smart phones and social media. Not all bad but often not in balance.
Such great advice! Thank you for linking with the #pinitparty
You know, I have become a major grumpy pants! Always thinking about what needs to get done in a day. I try my best to be fully engaged but at times I am going "when will we be done playing cars so I can throw the laundry in!" I need to breath. Thanks for that reminder! Thanks for sharing at the (mis)Adventures Mondays Blog hop!
Great goal for the new year. I feel like when I am fully present in the moment with my little ones it isn't just good for them. It is good for me. There isn't much that brings me more joy than just BEING with my little ones–undistracted and fully focused. Thanks for sharing!
I love your parenting resolution. I attended a Christian leadership conference several years ago – Catalyst. Their theme for that year was 'Be Present' and I left thinking more about how I needed to be present at home, than how I should change my ministry. It is such an important truth.
Love this. Being present is hard with so much going on. Trying for a simpler life this year.
I find myself having my phone around a lot because I use it as a camera, but it can be a huge annoyance/distraction! I really like that quote. Thank you for sharing!
Visiting you from Faith Filled Fridays
So true and a great resolution. I hope you keep it in front of you throughout the year – and constantly diagnose the things that distract you. Mind you, this is a good relationship resolution – regardless of who you are with. For me, my biggest two distractors are my to-do list, and online social activity. The key for me is to find time to do those things, which are important, and be there doing those things at that time. A time for everything!
Love this! I also need to focus more on just being all there. Great tips!!
Thanks for sharing this great post at Good Morning Mondays. Blessings
Thanks for sharing this great post at Good Morning Mondays. I think you have found the key "wherever you are be there". This is so true. Blessings
This is something that has been heavy on my heart lately as well! There's so much out there competing for our attention, its difficult at times.. its something we have to do intentionally! Thanks for the encouragement!
Thank you for sharing your new year resolution! This year it is my top resolution too! My goal is to listen and spend more time with my girls. Less checking my phone or laptop and more of singing kids songs and dancing like no one is watching! That quote says it all!
These are good tips and the reminder to be "all there" is so important. I know even on days I resolve to be "all there", I have to continually remind myself to follow through. Thanks for the reminder!
This is something I struggle with daily. I am the type of person who wants to do it all and have it all done the right way. That brings on stress and I find myself being short with my 2 year old. I've started leaving my phone upstairs and he and I have play time with no distractions. It's been the very best decision.
I couldn't agree with you more. They grow up so fast and if you are not present, you will miss it. My kids call me out if I'm on the phone and they feel ignored. Their way of holding me accountable!
Turn it up Tuesday
Good tips! This is something I'm working on currently as well.
Love these ideas! They reminded me of another article I read lately about common resolutions parents make: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/parenting/wp/2015/01/07/parents-lets-resolve-to-declutter-eat-better-and-live-better-in-2015/
This is great advice and an excellent resolution. Thank you for sharing your wisdom on the Art of Home-Making Mondays! We do hope you join in again next week
This is something I'm working on this year too. Thanks for the encouragement.
I think being present is the secret to being a better human. Technology has just filled our lives with distraction. I am going to work on being present more often. Thanks for the reminder.
Stopping by from Make a Difference Mondays
I am so bad with this so I Couldn't agree more…if my son has to ask me to put my phone down I'm disappointed in myself…so I have taken great efforts to really be in the moment.
Happy Mommy Monday Blog Hop

Looking for a fun way to educate the young people in your life about the fun of artistic expression through animation? Well, look no further than the Children's Museum of the Arts! The CMA is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing hands-on art programming to children throughout New York City. The staff of practicing artists is there to help mentor and guide young artists from ages 10 months to 15 years through many different types of projects and mediums.
One of the many highlights of the Children's Museum is the Media Lab, which is open and in use throughout most of the museum's regular hours. The lab is equipped with several Macs, laptops and even iPads with iStopMotion software! Children ages 5+ are invited to come try animation workshops using cut-out shapes, magazine scraps, scrabble letters and paper puppets that include prompts such as "Underwater Stories" or "Collage Letters."
Currently in the midst of the summer session of their popular Art Colony Camp, held every spring, summer, fall and winter, the Media Lab is getting quite the workout. As part of the weekly camps the lab is used for a variety of activities such as stop motion animation, collage animation, claymation and live-action shooting and editing. (For those unfamiliar with collage animation or claymation, check out this CMA student-made example here.)
"Art Colony is a more dedicated form of studio commitment that allows for more time-intensive projects to happen in the class," says Lynn Kim, manager of the Media Lab department at CMA. With more time available, the students are able to explore many different techniques and complete the necessary steps to give them the finished projects that they have envisioned for themselves. With all the new techniques students are learning, their days become quite busy! A typical day for students in the program will likely include brainstorming ideas (thumbnails, scriptwriting or making sketches), prop making and design, rehearsing (or practice animating), animating/shooting or even postproduction and editing.
Although it may be tempting for students to jump right into animating, Lynn says that all students are encouraged to plan their actions.
"We predict that they will animate the movements too quickly, so often we set time aside for redo's or second attempts at a scene before they are happy with the way it looks," she says.
However, most students will begin animating once they decide on key scenes that they want to create. After exporting, Lynn says that they then bring in Final Cut Pro for editing and the addition of sound and credits.
One thing that becomes important for children (or anyone really!) when navigating unfamiliar software is simplicity. That's where Lynn says Boinx saves the day, crediting the onion skinning tool (while animating, you can actually see what changes you make to the scene by seeing both the last picture you've taken and the current view from the camera overlayed) as a must-have for anyone in the Media Lab using iStopMotion.
"We are so lucky to be living in a time where almost anyone with an interest in animation can take steps to learn it," Lynn says. "iStopMotion has been a huge help in teaching learners of all ages, as the program is very intuitive and straight forward and does not require a manual or heavy instruction to use."
We couldn't agree more! Not that we needed proof of The Media Lab's exemplary programming, but check out some of their projects here and above.
As they say, the proof is in the pudding.

I was looking at this image (from From Reuters blog http://blogs.reuters.com/fullfocus/2012/11/30/best-photos-of-the-year-2012/#a=3):

If weather has taken its toll on your nails and cuticles you can revive your nails and get your cuticles moisturized and in shape through a pampering manicure. However, most people simply get their manicure done for a few most common reasons, clean healthy nails, pretty polish and relaxation. When you think about, how often do you use your hands? Almost all the time. Basically the hands are the most hardworking part of the body and they actually need a break after a long day's work.
Manicured nails add a touch of glamour to any outfit and make a difference to your overall appearance. Whether you are having your nails done on a regular basis, as a one-off or for a special occasion there are so many reasons why beautiful, attractive nails are so important. You may think a trip to the nail salon in Chaseville, Florida 32277 or the day spa is a great way to pamper your digits (or tootsies) after a long, hard week dealing with life's nail biting moments. So no matter what your reason for your next manicure remember to choose a nail technician that cares about your health and safety.
Why should I opt for professional nail services in Chaseville, Florida?
Because of the professional service Manicure And Pedicure Near Me provides, the salon offers a wide range of nail polish like shellac, nail colors, and extras such as glitter or jeweled accents for that glamorous nail look. Since it's the responsibility of the professional manicurist to provide you with quality service that meets your satisfaction, you can be sure of walking out of the salon with beautifully shaped and polished nails. I think the most appealing part of going to get a manicure at a professional salon in Chaseville, Florida is the luxury — it feels good to have someone do your nails for you and give you high-quality treatments!
How much does a manicure and a pedicure in Chaseville, Florida usually costs?
We spend weeks and weeks training manicurists, whom we consider artists, and we use only the highest quality polishes, tools, and equipment. On average, a manicure will run you anywhere from $20 to $50, but thankfully you can cut that price in half with the help of a manicure deal in Chaseville, Florida near you. Here are typical costs you can expect at the following establishments:
- At hotel or resort spas (high range), manicures are $25-$45 (standard) and $50-$75 (deluxe); pedicures range $45-$50 (standard) and $75-$135 (deluxe). Acrylic nails cost $50-$70 (standard) and $75-$85 (pink and white).
- At spas or salons (mid range), manicures cost $20-$25 (standard) and $30-$45 (deluxe); pedicures cost $35-$40 (standard) or $45-$60 (deluxe). Acrylic nails range $35-$45 (standard) or $45-$50 (pink and white).
- For small nail shops (low range), manicures range $10-$15 (standard) and $20-$25 (deluxe); pedicures range $15-$25 (standard) and $25-$35 (deluxe). Acrylic nails are $25-$35 (standard) and $30-$40 (pink and white).
How often should I get a manicure and pedicure in Chaseville, Florida?
When it comes to professional manicures and pedicures in Chaseville, Florida, there are no hard and fast rules as to how often you should have one done.The amount of TLC your digits need is very much dependent on your daily routine. If you're constantly on the go, live an active lifestyle, text all day long and love to cook, your nails are probably taking the brunt of it. The faster your nails grow and the more abuse they withstand, the more often you'll need professional maintenance. However, on average once every two to three weeks for a manicure and once a month for a pedicure will result in the your tips and toes looking groomed and ready for everyone's eyes at all times.

Is going to a Chaseville nail salon in safe?
If you go to a salon to get a manicure or pedicure and the foot spas and tools have not been properly disinfected, you are at risk for picking up an infection. By the way, disinfect means using a product which has been registered with the EPA and contains the term 'disinfectant'. What you want is to determine if your tools have been properly disinfected, or better yet, sterilized in an autoclave (which kind of looks like a toaster, and tools are kept in small disposable plastic envelopes). Here are some tips to protect yourself and choose the right nail salon in Duval County, Florida:
- Don't be shy. If you see red flags like rusty equipment, dirty towels or someone reusing a tool after dropping it on the floor, speak up.
- Ask your nail technician where they did their training. Reputable colleges teach proper sanitation practices.
- Know when to skip the mani-pedi. If you have an open wound or even a scab in your foot or hand area, postpone the appointment. And if you have diabetes or a compromised immune system, talk to your doctor first.
- Make sure the water is fresh. Ask for the pedicure basin to be filled in front of you. Avoid salons with jetted tubs, as they're harder to clean.

Possible Solutions
Does your water filter need to be replaced?
It is recommended that the water filter be replaced every 6 months, when the indicator light comes on, or as needed. A clogged water filter can cause several issues including taste and odor in your water. Replacing your water filter regularly will help reduce the amount of containments in the water supply.
To purchase water filters, visit EveryDropWater.com. Their filter selection tool will help you identify the right filter for your refrigerator or icemaker.
Still need help?
In the event you need service, please call 1-800-JENN-AIR (536-6247) to arrange for an authorized servicer to perform repairs.

DOVER — The disruption of Hurricane Sandy is mostly repaired on the Seacoast, but the storm's visit may be an indicator of the winter season ahead.
Meteorologists from Accuweather.com say the storm is indicative of an "active winter storm track."
While the original winter forecast didn't show this, meteorologists now expect more "weak, fast-moving snowstorms and cold" at least in the Midwest than they had previously predicted, which means it's likely that some could visit the New England region and bring wintry precipitation to the Granite State.
For cities along Interstate 95, including Boston, Mass., above average levels of snow is expected, according to a report by the weather agency.
"(Sandy) gave us an idea of what can happen off the East Coast if we get phasing to take place," lead long-range forecaster, Paul Pastelok, explained. "And, we also saw a couple storms, not as extreme as Sandy, but have a similar impact. So, that is a little bit of a prelude of what we think can happen."
The National Weather Service (NWS) based in Grey, Maine, predicts just seven days out with their forecast, so an entire winter outlook for the local area is difficult to pin down. But, NWS meteorologist, Chris Kimble, provided information from the Climate Prediction Center on what southern New Hampshire and Maine can expect over the season.
"Basically, they say that we have an equal chance of being above or below normal temperatures," he said.
Kimble said that, right now, there's nothing pointing toward a warmer or colder than normal winter.
"Over much of the east coast themes not much to say," he said, adding that statement doesn't necessarily mean that temperatures and precipitation levels will be near normal, only that there's "not much to go on" currently.
"There's not a whole lot pointing in one direction or the other," he said.
The Farmer's Almanac online provides a long-range forecast for the Dover and southern New Hampshire area that says, "Winter will be colder and drier than normal, with below-normal snowfall. The coldest periods will be from Christmas through early January and in mid-January and early, mid- and late February. The snowiest periods will be in mid-November, mid- to late December, mid- to late February, and early March."
Before there were scientific devices to measure and forecast weather events, people relied on folklore, legends and myths to predict the season ahead.
The Old Farmers Almanac provides histories on the characters residents listened to before the rise of the "weatherman."
Jaime McLeod, web Content Editor for the Farmers' Almanac, writes about the "spirit of winter," described as an old man, who would walk across all the land. The Earth, McLeod writes, would turn hard as flint wherever he stepped.
"His long locks of white hair would drag behind him, covering everything. Birds flew, and animals hid, from his cold gaze. His icy breath made the streams stand still," the article goes on.
Another winter personification McLeod writes about is Lupercus, the "wolf of winter." Ancient lore states the "wolf of winter" is "born each year on the winter solstice, and matures six weeks later, at the halfway point of the season." That time frame is around the same another animal legend makes an appearance to predict what will come over the following six weeks.
"It's certainly easy to see how ancient people could have personified winter as a wolf, with its fierce bite and howling winds. Wolves were greatly feared by country people. An encroaching pack of wolves could kill livestock, or even unwary humans. The same was true for winter. Even today, with good shelter and advanced technology, winter still claims lives each year," McLeod wrote.
Brrr ... Above average snow fall expected in coastal New England this season

Changes in MySQL 5.5.29 (21-December-2012) Functionality Added or Changed * The SHOW AUTHORS and SHOW CONTRIBUTORS statements are now deprecated in MySQL 5.5 and have been removed in MySQL 5.6. Bugs Fixed * Performance: InnoDB: The timing values for low-level InnoDB read operations were adjusted for better performance with fast storage devices, such as SSD (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/glossary.html#glos_ssd ). This enhancement primarily affects read operations for BLOB columns in compressed (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/glossary.html#glos_com pression) tables. (Bug #13702112, Bug #64258) * Important Change: InnoDB: A DML (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/glossary.html#glos_dml ) statement using the index merge access method could lock many rows from the table, even when those rows were not part of the final result set. This fix reduces the excessive locking (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/glossary.html#glos_loc king) by releasing the locks of unmatched rows. This optimization affects only transactions with isolation level equal to or less strict than READ COMMITTED; it does not apply to transactions using REPEATABLE READ or SERIALIZABLE isolation level. (Bug #14226171) * InnoDB: An online DDL operation for an InnoDB table incorrectly reported an empty value ('') instead of the correct key value when it reported a duplicate key error for a unique index using an index prefix. (Bug #14729221) * InnoDB: If a CREATE TABLE statement failed due to a disk full error, some memory allocated during the operation was not freed properly. (Bug #14708715) * InnoDB: With the innodb_file_per_table setting enabled, a DROP TABLE operation could cause a crash, due to a race condition that depended on the timing of pending I/O requests. (Bug #14594600, Bug #66718) * InnoDB: If the server crashed at the specific point when a change buffer (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/glossary.html#glos_cha nge_buffer) entry was being merged into a buffer pool page, the transaction log and the change buffer were left in an inconsistent state. After a restart, MySQL could crash after reading the corresponding secondary index page. The problem was more likely to occur in MySQL 5.5 or later, where the original insert buffering (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/glossary.html#glos_ins ert_buffering) mechanism was generalized to cover other operations. (Bug #14636528, Bug #66819, Bug #58571, Bug #61104, Bug #65443) * InnoDB: Inserting data of varying record lengths into an InnoDB table that used compression (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/glossary.html#glos_com pression) could cause the server to halt with an error. (Bug #14554000, Bug #13523839, Bug #63815, Bug #12845774, Bug #61456, Bug #12595091, Bug #61208) * InnoDB: If a table was defined with an index key length very close to the upper length limit of 3072, a query against that table could cause a serious error. (Bug #14500557, Bug #66413) * InnoDB: When an auto-increment column used a FLOAT or DOUBLE data type, if the auto-increment value became very large (larger than the maximum unsigned long long value), subsequent inserts could fail or cause the server to halt. (Bug #14145950, Bug #55071) * InnoDB: If a transaction was started with a consistent snapshot, then new indexes were added to the table while the transaction was in progress, a subsequent UPDATE statement could incorrectly encounter the error: HA_ERR_TABLE_DEF_CHANGED: insufficient history for index This issue could cause an assertion error in debug builds. (Bug #14036214) * InnoDB: The error message was improved for the case where an UPDATE failed because the row included several BLOB values greater than 768 bytes each, causing the size of a row to exceed half the page size (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/glossary.html#glos_pag e_size). The old message, was misleading; it suggested using BLOBs, when the 768-byte prefix for each BLOB column was the cause of the limit error: Error Code 1118: Row size too large. The maximum row size for the used table type, not counting BLOBs, is 8126. You have to change some columns to TEXT or BLOBs A workaround for the problem was to create the table with the ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC or ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED clause, which is now suggested in the message. (Bug #13453036, Bug #63507) * InnoDB: In rare circumstances, MySQL could apply InnoDB undo (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/glossary.html#glos_und o) records out of order during a ROLLBACK (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/glossary.html#glos_rol lback) of an operation that modified a BLOB column. This issue could cause an assertion error in debug builds: !bpage->file_page_was_freed (Bug #13249921) * Replication: Updates writing user variables whose values were never set on a slave while using --replicate-ignore-table could cause the slave to fail. (Bug #14597605) References: This bug was introduced by Bug #14275000. * Replication: Backtick (`) characters were not always handled correctly in internally generated SQL statements, which could sometimes lead to errors on the slave. (Bug #14548159) * Replication: Following an insert into a nontransactional table that failed due to insufficient disk space, the server did not properly clean up all pending events, leading to an assert or possibly to other errors. (Bug #11750014) * Very long database names in queries could cause the server to exit. (Bug #15912213) * Within a stored procedure, executing a multiple-table DELETE statement that used a very long table alias could cause the server to exit. (Bug #15954896) * Very long table aliases in queries could cause the server to exit. (Bug #15948123) * Attempting to create an auto-increment (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/glossary.html#glos_aut o_increment) column in an InnoDB table with a NULL type attribute could cause a serious error. (Bug #14758479) * A DELETE statement for an InnoDB table could write incorrect transaction metadata into a record, causing the server to halt with an error. To work around this issue, reduce the specified length of the primary key to less than 1K bytes. (Bug #14731482) * Repeated execution of a query containing a subquery that used MAX() could result in increasing memory consumption. (Bug #14683676) * USE dbname could fail with Unknown database when dbname contained multiple backtick (`) characters. (Bug #14645196) * The configure.pl script that converts GNU configure options to CMake equivalents generated erroneous output for the --with-client-ldflags and --with-mysqld-ldflags options. It now ignores those options. (Bug #14593123) * SHOW PROFILE could be used to cause excessive server memory consumption. (Bug #14629232) * The thread cache implementation worked in LIFO rather than FIFO fashion and could result in a thread being denied service (although this was a remote possibility). (Bug #14621627) * Within a stored program, memory allocated to hold condition information was not released until program exit, leading to excessive memory use. (Bug #14640599) * Improper memory cleanup could cause the server to exit. (Bug #14536113) * Granting or revoking the PROXY privilege caused the server to exit if the server was started with --skip-name-resolve. (Bug #14211140) * CREATE USER and DROP USER could fail to flush the privileges, requiring FLUSH PRIVILEGES to be used explicitly. (Bug #13864642) * Access to INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables through a view could leak memory. (Bug #13734987) * A memory leak could occur for queries containing a subquery that used GROUP BY on an outer column. (Bug #13724099) * On Microsoft Windows with CMake 2.6, the build process would not stop if the create_initial_db step failed. (Bug #13713525) * The test in mysqld_safe for the presence of the --plugin_dir option and assignment of a default value to it were performed before the actual argument parsing took place. (Bug #13548161) * CHECK TABLE and REPAIR TABLE could crash if a MyISAM table had a corrupt key (.MYI) file. Now the server produces an error. (Bug #13556441) * Improper memory cleanup could cause the server to exit. (Bug #13340270) * A memory leak occurred due to failure to clean up after QUICK_INDEX_MERGE_SELECT/Unique. (Bug #12694872, Bug #14542543) * The number of connection errors from a given host as counted by the server was periodically reset, with the result that max_connect_errors was never reached and invalid hosts were never blocked from trying to connect. (Bug #11753779) References: See also Bug #38247, Bug #43006, Bug #45584, Bug #45606. * During optimization, ZEROFILL values may be converted to string constants. However, CASE expressions did not handle switching data types after the planning stage, leading to CASE finding a null pointer instead of its argument. (Bug #57135, Bug #11764313) * In debug builds, an InnoDB assertion was overly aggressive about prohibiting an open range. (Bug #66513, Bug #14547952) * On Windows, the Perl version of mysql_install_db created system tables in the mysql database that were not populated properly. (Bug #65584, Bug #14181049) * mysqld_safe ignored the value of the UMASK environment variable, leading to behavior different from mysqld with respect to the access mode of created files. Now mysqld_safe (and mysqld_multi) attempt to approximate the same behavior as mysqld. (Bug #57406, Bug #11764559) * LAST_INSERT_ID(expr) did not work for expr values greater than the largest signed BIGINT value. (Bug #20964, Bug #11745891) On behalf of the MySQL/ORACLE Build Team Hery Ramilison

Until the 1st Marine Division clawed its way ashore on Peleliu and began its grueling fight in the Umurbrogol highlands against a virtually invisible enemy, the American advance westward across the Pacific in 1944 appeared invincible. In the Southwest Pacific, General Douglas MacArthur had captured most of New Guinea. Admiral Chester Nimitz, his counterpart theater commander in the Central Pacific, had seized Kwajalein and Eniwetok in the Marshalls, followed by Saipan, Tinian, and Guam in the Marianas. The Japanese were desperate to stem both tides. By September they anticipated MacArthur would soon invade the Philippines, most likely in concert with a Nimitz offensive in the Japanese-owned Palau Islands.
During the Pacific war, the Palaus provided a sheltered passage for Japanese oil tankers steaming north from the Dutch East Indies to the Home Islands, a route largely protected from U.S. submarines by shallow water and local air bases. The linchpin protecting this vital flow of oil was the two-mile-by-six-mile island of Peleliu, and there the Japanese built the largest bomber strip in their Pacific islands.
Peleliu's strategic location caught the attention of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff as they selected Pacific campaigns for 1944. They found other objectives in the Palaus, including Ulithi, whose deep-water lagoon could provide a fleet staging anchorage for future assaults on Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and Angaur, Peleliu's smaller neighbor, whose flat terrain might yield a future bomber strip. But the Joint Chiefs accorded highest priority to seizing Peleliu's bomber field. The planners reasoned that capturing Peleliu would remove a significant Japanese threat to MacArthur's seaborne invasion of the Philippines and establish U.S. air superiority throughout the Palaus. These assessments spawned Operation Stalemate, the code name for the forcible seizure of Peleliu, Angaur, and Ulithi.
The rapid advance of American forces in 1944 forced Japan's Imperial General Headquarters (IGHQ) to redeploy certain veteran infantry divisions from the Soviet border in Manchuria to reinforce their endangered Pacific islands such as Peleliu. Major General Sadae Inoue's 14th Division departed the frigid Ussuri River region and arrived in the steamy Palaus in April. Inoue deployed most of his troops on the large island of Babelthuap, posted a battalion on Angaur, and ordered the reinforced 4th Infantry Regiment, commanded by Colonel Kunio Nakagawa, to defend Peleliu. Nakagawa had a keen affinity for defensive warfare. At his request, Japanese mining and tunneling engineers arrived to convert hundreds of fissures and crevices in the steep slopes of the Umurbrogol into a series of mutually supporting strongpoints.
The Joint Chiefs assigned Operation Stalemate to the Central Pacific Forces of Admiral Nimitz, with a mid-September target date. Nimitz entrusted the mission to Admiral William F. "Bull" Halsey, commanding the U.S. Third Fleet, and selected Marine Major General Roy S. Geiger to command the assault troops of the III Amphibious Corps. Geiger—former enlisted rifleman, pioneering Marine aviator, and distinguished commander of the "Cactus Air Force" on Guadalcanal—was well-qualified to command Stalemate's joint-service assault troops.
At Peleliu Geiger's III Amphibious Corps consisted of the 1st Marine Division, commanded by Major General William H. Rupertus, and the Army's 81st Infantry Division, the "Wildcats," led by Major General Paul J. Mueller. The veteran Marines would lead the assault on Peleliu. The well-trained Wildcats, as yet unblooded, would initially assault Angaur and Ulithi and then reinforce the Marines.
The outcome of the opening battle for the Umurbrogol would reflect the strengths and weaknesses of General Rupertus. Few general officers in the Pacific could match his eight months of experience leading troops in close-quarters jungle fighting at Guadalcanal and Cape Gloucester. Yet the experience also bred overconfidence. Rupertus expected the Japanese to defend Peleliu with the same predictable tactics of 1942: stiff initial resistance followed by a spectacular but sacrificial banzai attack ending the battle. As he confidently announced to his Marines embarking for the Palaus: "This will be rough but fast. We'll be through in three days, maybe two."
The division commander's hubris should have been tempered by foreknowledge of Peleliu's unique terrain and the capabilities and intent of the enemy. Unfortunately intelligence collection and analysis for Stalemate was the worst of any amphibious campaign of the war. Not until D-day—after naval gunfire and air strikes had burned away much of the island's vegetation—did the landing force discover the upthrust spires, narrow canyons, and sheer cliffs of the Umurbrogol that dominated the airfield and landing beaches. No other extreme terrain in the Pacific war—not even Iwo Jima's Mount Suribachi—would cost U.S. forces so much time and blood to seize and hold.
Other intelligence shortfalls surfaced. Although the Marines knew that 10,000 Japanese defended Peleliu, they had little information about their quality. It took too long to realize they were facing one of the oldest regiments in the Imperial Japanese Army, an outfit full of pride and tradition and superbly led by Colonel Nakagawa, who would become one of the most formidable opponents the Marines ever fought. Nor were the Leathernecks forewarned of the matrix of 500 caves in the Umurbrogol escarpments—each fully provisioned, manned, and armed.
Another significant intelligence failure occurred on the operational level. For all its code-breaking success to date in the Pacific war, U.S. naval intelligence failed to intercept an urgent message in mid-August from Japanese IGHQ ordering island commanders to abandon the standard doctrine of defense at the water's edge. Transmitted shortly before Peleliu, IGHQ's "Defense Guidance on Islands" established a new doctrine of prolonged attrition—increasing the lethality and length of Japanese resistance in order to erode the will of the American people to continue the war. Commanders could "disrupt" enemy landings with light forces, but they were ordered to preserve the main body in interior strongpoints, forcing the enemy into costly frontal assaults. Wasteful banzai counterattacks were now forbidden.
The first Americans died at Peleliu during 12-14 September as the advance force commenced naval shelling, carrier air strikes, minesweeping, and underwater demolition team operations. Japanese gunners shot down a strafing Navy attack aircraft on the 12th. On the 14th the destroyer minesweeper USS Perry (DMS-17) hit a mine and instantly sank.
Friday, 15 September 1944 dawned clear and hot on Peleliu. The final naval bombardment reached a crescendo as Marines boarded their amphibian tractors (LVTs). In one of the LVTs chugging shoreward, 20-year-old Private First Class Eugene B. Sledge of the 5th Marines, anxious about his first combat landing, stared at the blazing island and thought, "My God, none of us will ever get out of that place alive."
Navy control craft led the assault waves of Marine LVTs toward the reef. General Rupertus had chosen to land all three infantry regiments abreast on a 3,000-yard stretch of beach along Peleliu's southwest coast. Colonel Lewis "Chesty" Puller's 1st Marines would land on White Beaches 1 and 2 to the north, Colonel Harold Harris' 5th Marines on Orange Beaches 1 and 2 in the middle, and Colonel Herman Hanneken's 7th Marines on Orange 3 to the south. A line of armored amphibians preceded the first wave, firing their snub-nosed 75-mm howitzers as they crossed the line of departure and trundled over the island's reef.
Japanese gunners on the high ground gripped firing lanyards as they watched wave upon wave of assault craft approach the island. Then came Colonel Nakagawa's signal, and hidden guns blazed from scores of caves along the southwest rim of escarpments. Preregistered artillery and heavy mortar shells exploded among the leading waves.
One particular Japanese gun position carved into the face of a coral promontory jutting from the north end of White Beach (soon dubbed the "Point") almost singlehandedly derailed the 1st Marines' landing. Invisible from the sea and fortified with concrete, the bunker's 25-mm machine-cannon crew surprised the assault waves with close-range flanking fire, raking the sides of thin-skinned LVTs with high-explosive incendiary and armor-piercing tracer shells. Stricken vehicles lurched to a stop in the shallows, fires quickly billowing as survivors scrambled over the gunwales. The Japanese gunners enjoyed an unimpeded shooting gallery until a rifleman of Captain George Hunt's Company K, 1st Marines crept up and fired a rifle grenade through the bunker's aperture, detonating reserve ammunition and roasting the crew.
The combination of enfilade fire from the Point and high-angle fire from the Umurbrogol left as many as 60 Marine LVTs and amphibious trucks (DUKWs) burning in windrows along the water's edge. A turning point came when the division's M4 Sherman medium tanks roared across the beach, less than 18 minutes after H-hour, a new record for the Pacific war. The Marines rose from the sand, followed the surging armored vehicles through openings in the dunes, and fanned out, the 7th Marines bearing right, the 5th Marines advancing straight ahead to the edge of the runway, and the 1st Marines sidling left uphill, slowed by what would become an epic 36-hour battle by Hunt's K Company to hold the Point against Japanese counterattacks.
Naval gunfire improved exponentially once shore fire-control parties landed and began adjusting fire. The deep waters seaward of Peleliu's reef allowed the ships to close within a mile. Some destroyers used their 40-mm guns to mark suspected cave openings before delivering salvos of 5-in/38 shells.
Nakagawa's light tanks had no role in his defense in depth of the high ground. Late in the day he ordered them to charge across the runway and shoot up the congested beachhead. The dozen or so tanks—some with infantry strapped to the turrets—rumbled forth in a ragged but brave-hearted charge. Startled Marines cut loose with every weapon at hand. A Navy dive bomber swooped down to claim a kill. The Japanese tank crews died fighting, and the Marines probably felt as good at that moment as they ever would on Peleliu.
By sunset on D-day, the Navy and Marines had landed 10,000 troops, their tanks, and most of their field artillery. Navy Beachmasters and Seabees had installed pontoons and floating cranes at the reef to facilitate transfer-line resupply operations. Unlike the Marines' desperate D-day toeholds on Tarawa, the Leathernecks on Peleliu had established a fully functional, two-mile-wide beachhead.
For the 1st Marine Division, these achievements came at the price of more than 1,100 casualties, including 200 killed. Yet the first day's losses at Peleliu measured less than D-days at Tarawa (1,500), Saipan (2,000), or Iwo Jima (2,400).
The Peleliu airfield fell to the 5th Marines on the second day. Soon a Marine fighter squadron landed and quickly began launching its napalm-loaded Corsairs in direct support of infantry attacks in the highlands. Major General Mueller meanwhile landed two regimental combat teams of the 81st Division on Angaur and overwhelmed the Japanese garrison in four days of fighting. The 323rd Regimental Combat Team seized Ulithi Atoll without losing a man.
On 28 September the 3d Battalion, 5th Marines, including Eugene Sledge, executed a shore-to-shore amphibious assault against nearby Ngesebus Island. The crossing, fully supported by Marine Corsairs, naval gunfire, and Army and Marine field artillery, was a small masterwork of joint teamwork. Ngesebus fell in two days. Geiger announced the completion of Stalemate's amphibious phase, releasing most of the ships to support MacArthur's imminent invasion of Leyte.
The situation in the highlands of Peleliu, however, was painfully different. The new disciplined tactics of the Japanese baffled General Rupertus and his veterans. They rarely saw an enemy soldier, only the shadowy infiltrators with blades in their teeth at night. Enduring temperatures as high as 115 degrees, the Marines struggled to overcome an endless array of Japanese caves in broken terrain that forced them into frontal attacks. Each dawn brought a renewed attack order. Artillery and naval guns shelled the heights as the dwindling infantry platoons scrambled upward. Overpowering each cave was a tactical triumph, quickly spoiled by an outburst of fire from a new quarter.
Colonel Chesty Puller's 1st Marines had taken the brunt of the initial fighting for the southwestern parapets (nicknamed Bloody Nose Ridge). Few Marines had experienced more combat missions than the aggressive Puller, already a legend with four awards of the Navy Cross. Yet he, like Rupertus, kept expecting the Japanese line to crack, prompting the battle-ending banzai charge so common in the Solomons.
General Rupertus was hobbled by a broken ankle and could not climb the ridge to see for himself what the 1st Marines were facing. He impatiently ordered Puller to renew the assaults. After five days, General Geiger became appalled by Puller's cumulative casualties and Rupertus' rigidity and finally intervened. He ordered Rupertus to relieve the 1st Marines immediately with Colonel Hanneken's 7th Marines and directed General Mueller to land the 81st Division on Peleliu prepared to fight in the Umurbrogol.
In five days of brutal fighting Puller's Marines had seized 144 caves at the cost of 1,749 casualties, one of the highest regimental losses of the Pacific war. Lieutenant Bruce Watkins of the 2d Battalion, 1st Marines lost 32 of his 41-man platoon in the repeated assaults, including several men blown up by errant friendly fire from a Navy ship. Watching the regiment's depleted ranks file past, he concluded, "We were a remnant rather than a regiment." Captain Everett Pope of the 1st Battalion, 1st Marines would earn the Medal of Honor for leading his decimated company through the nightmarish defense of Hill 100 but remained forever haunted by having to leave his dead on the exposed ridge for two weeks, a sacrilege the Marines had not experienced since Belleau Wood in 1918.
The 7th and 5th Marines and the three Wildcat regiments took their turns in the Umurbrogol and fared somewhat better, steadily driving Nakagawa's remaining defenders into a small, yet nearly unassailable pocket. Each regiment paid an exorbitant price for its limited progress.
Admiral Halsey visited the island to learn why the battle was taking so long and costing so much. His escorts led him to a vantage point near the Umurbrogol, but the Japanese scattered the entourage with a mortar barrage. Shaken but uninjured, Halsey reported the incident to Nimitz: "It is a slow process in digging the rats out. Poison gas is indicated as an economical weapon." It was a gratuitous suggestion. Both men knew President Franklin D. Roosevelt opposed the use of poison gas.
The 1st Marine Division lost its combat effectiveness after five weeks of assailing the Umurbrogol. One after another the shot-up regiments came down from the highlands to board transports back to Pavuvu. One survivor said, "Everything about Peleliu left a bad taste in your mouth."
General Mueller assumed command of Peleliu combat operations on 20 October and used siege warfare principles to eliminate the final Japanese pocket. Unable to dig fighting positions in the coral, the Wildcats formed long lines and lugged buckets of beach sand to the ridge tops, providing the assault companies the protection of "moveable foxholes"—sand bags that could be inched forward after each advance. They used block-and-tackle rigs to haul small artillery pieces up the cliffs for direct fire missions against Japanese caves in the adjacent cliff.
Finally, resorting to medieval warfare tactics, they painstakingly constructed an enormous earthen ramp to breach the ramparts of Colonel Nakagawa's last command post. As the ramp rose ever higher, Nakagawa sent a final message to General Inoue: "Our sword is broken and we have run out of spears. Request permission to burn our colors." Nakagawa committed ritual suicide just before the first Army tank roared up the completed ramp and burst into his perimeter.
In the final count, about 10,900 Japanese fighters died defending Peleliu and Angaur; only 19 were captured. The 10-week battle for the islands cost the 1st Marine Division and the 81st Army Division 9,615 total casualties, including 1,656 killed. The casualty lists shocked the nation. Most Americans had never heard of Peleliu, and they struggled to understand the strategic imperative for such a Pyrrhic victory.
Seizing Peleliu yielded certain benefits, but none could justify the cost. Capturing the bomber strip helped protect MacArthur's 20 October invasion of Leyte. Long-range bombers from Angaur provided limited tactical support to subsequent Philippine operations. The U.S. possession of Peleliu effectively bottled up some 40,000 Japanese troops in Babelthuap, Yap, and the western Carolines. Ulithi Atoll provided a valuable fleet anchorage for the final campaigns of 1945. Moreover, the 1st Marine Division learned critical lessons in cave assault and tank-infantry coordination on Peleliu that enhanced its combat effectiveness on Okinawa.
The Battle of Peleliu began brilliantly with one of the finest division-level, opposed landings of the Pacific war, but then came the bitter hemorrhage of fighting an unexpected war of attrition on terms largely dictated by the Japanese. The assault forces deserved far better intelligence support from the Pacific Fleet and much faster tactical adaptability from their senior commanders ashore. Survivors and historians will long debate whether the Joint Chiefs could have achieved their objectives and avoided the high casualties by neutralizing Peleliu's airfield with land-based and carrier air strikes. The Americans had already bypassed larger Japanese strongholds at Rabaul, Kavieng, Kolombangara, and Truk.
"Something in me died at Peleliu," said Private Sledge after two-thirds of his rifle company had been killed or wounded on the island. The battle remains shrouded in bitterness-least known and least understood.

Many people take oral or inhaled steroid medicines for conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD). These medicines include beclomethasone, flunisolide, and prednisone. The oral kind and the high-dose inhaled kind can cause bone loss over time. If you are on these types of medicines for 6 months or longer, you are at increased risk for osteoporosis. This puts you at high risk for broken bones. If you do break a bone, healing can take a long time because osteoporosis reduces your bones' ability to rebuild.
If you use steroid medicines long-term, you should be watched for bone loss.

Olympian-turned-reality TV star Bruce Jenner has opened up about his split from Kris Jenner, insisting the two are not planning to officially divorce.
On Tuesday, the reality TV couple confirmed the long-running rumors that they had separated, releasing a statement which read, "We are living separately and we are much happier this way. But we will always have much love and respect for each other. Even though we are separated, we will always remain best friends and, as always, our family will remain our number one priority."
Now Bruce has offered up insight about their relationship to People magazine, insisting that while they may be living apart, they have no plans to sign divorce papers any time soon.
He admits, "I'm doing great. Kris is happy, I'm happy. Nobody is filing for divorce. … There's no animosity. Everything is good."
With his third failed marriage, Bruce is adamant he will not be returning to the dating scene, adding, "No, we're not going there. I have my family, I have my kids. All my time is filled."

This is literally a hands-on job for Haimovitz; after starting out with Dagwoods Sandwiches and Salads as a summer job, he decided four years ago - when the Dagwoods shop on Sources Rd. in Dollard des Ormeaux became available to franchise out - to take the plunge from worker to owner.
In fact, the D.D.O. store was the first Quebec Dagwoods franchise offered by entrepreneur and now CEO of the burgeoning sub empire, Spiro Krallis. And according to Krallis, he didn't make a mistake by selling to Haimovitz, who has increased sales by almost 50 per cent since taking over from the previous manager.
"The operator of the franchise makes the difference, and Mike is a guy who makes things happen," said Krallis, who opened his first Dagwoods in Pointe Claire 20 years ago and still operates 13 of the 27 Dagwoods locations in the Montreal area. (Krallis decided in 2006 to start franchising Dagwoods and has former employees, like Haimovitz, as franchisees.) Haimovitz covers a lot of ground as a franchise owner - from hiring employees and training them, to his administrative and behind-the-counter duties.
"I guess the downside is not seeing results at first," he said. "The job can be mentally and physically draining. But it beats being in a cubicle for eight hours a day." Jacques Desforges, editor and publisher of Québec Franchise and Canadian Opportunities magazines, said some franchise owners expect immediate results when they go into business.
"Even if you have a recognizable brand, you still have to promote it," he cautioned. "You don't sign the contract, then go and take your own approach. If that's what you want to do with a franchise, you may as well open your own business.
"You have to be passionate about the business. The money will come eventually if you are patient and have good brand loyalty." Desforges said U.S. statistics show that 30 per cent of independent businesses disappear after three years, but only about five per cent of franchises do so. "The reason is that the franchisee has the support from head office for marketing, advertising and labour. The power is belonging to the franchise network. It's like the Three Musketeers' motto: One for all, and all for one." Darlene Fraraccio and Michel Ladouceur, co-owners of NDG Énergie-Cardio, got their support from the man himself: Énergie-Cardio president Alain Beaudry.
They went straight to the top before they making their decision to invest in a franchise.
"He was very transparent," Fraraccio said of Beaudry. "Énergie-Cardio was in line with our philosophy of physical fitness." Fraraccio was diagnosed with Grave's disease, a serious thyroid condition, in 2000. Deciding to take a proactive approach to her recovery, she combined physical activity and radiation therapy; 18 months later, she was in remission. That, combined with her husband's approaching retirement from Hydro-Québec and his interest in yoga and martial arts, provided the necessary impetus to become Énergie-Cardio franchisees. With Ladouceur handling the personal training side of the business and Fraraccio attending to the administrative end, they make a perfect team.
Like most franchise owners, they're finding it a labour-intensive business and, at the same time, a labour of love. Fortunately, it hasn't put a strain on the relationship.
"We're both in the same boat," Ladouceur noted. And this franchise boat is nowhere near sinking. With 16 full-time and part-time staff, their membership numbers are healthy since taking ownership seven years ago.
"For the first couple of years, I figure we put in anywhere from 90 to 110 hours a week. Now we can get away and let our staff take care of things," said the couple, who enjoyed a two-week vacation in Costa Rica this month.
NGD Énergie-Cardio welcomes all ages, including a blossoming 50-plus membership. Ladouceur recalls working with a 74-year-old woman who'd had a stroke and two knee replacements to deal with.
"I worked with her and one day on the treadmill I got her running for the first time since her operations," he said. "She was so happy, she cried.
"I've learned that physical autonomy is more important than money. That's why we're in this business for the long haul."

BOREAS RSS-14 GOES-7 Level-1a Visible, Infrared, and Water Vapor ImagesEntry ID: BOREAS_GOES71A
Abstract: The level-1a BOREAS GOES-7 image data was collected by Remote Sensing Science Team 14 (RSS-14) personnel at the Florida State University and processed to level-1a products by BORIS personnel. The primary objective for the GOES-7 images in 1994 was to collect visible, infrared (IR), and water vapor channel data covering the BOREAS region at a sufficiently high temporal frequency for subsequent use ... in analyzing weather events and deriving temporal surface radiation parameters and patterns that existed during the Focused and Intensive Field Campaigns (FFCs and IFCs). The transition and shifting of satellites from GOES-7 to GOES-8 in 1995 enabled good quality images to be acquired over the BOREAS region four times per day from January to June, giving a reasonable monitoring dataset. The data cover the period of 01-January-1994 through 08-July-1995 with partial to complete coverage on the majority of the days. The data include three-bands with eight-bit pixel values. No major problems with the data have been identified.

Writer(s): Prince (see lyrics here)
First charted: 20 January 1990
Peak: 1 4 US, 1 3 CB, 1 4 UK, 2 AC, 23 AR, 1 1 MR (Click for codes to singles charts.)
Sales (in millions): 1.0 US, 0.6 UK, 1.79 world
Radio Airplay (in millions): -- Video Airplay (in millions): 40.9
Review: In the mid-'80s, Prince wa such a hit-making machine that he gave some away. Chaka Khan, Sheila E, Sheena Easton, and the Bangles all took Prince compositions to the U.S. top 10. One of the songs that got away, however, was "Nothing Compares 2 U," a song Prince wrote for the Family in 1985. RS500 The group's most notable success came as past and future members of Prince's backing bands. TB
Unlike the R&B and pop leanings of other artists who'd had hits with Prince songs, Sinéad O'Connor was an Irish alternative rock artist with one album under her belt which hadn't produced any U.S. pop hits. When she covered "Nothing Compares 2 U", no one could have predicted how huge it would become, much less that it would be the #1 song of 1990. RS500
Her performance is what made it a blockbuster. O'Connor holds back as if she can barely contain the emotion behind her voice. CR Within the same line, she sounded like she might "trail off into a breathy near-sob or let loose with a heartbroken wail." AMG The "intensely heartfelt performance" TB was accented by a stark video which keyed in on O'Connor's face. Four minutes in, she sheds a single tear, which she told VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 90s, was evoked by the line "All the flowers that you planted, Mama in the back yard/ All died when you went away," and the feelings it stirred regarding her complicated relationship with her late mother. WK However, she has also cited as a split just two days before with manager Fachtna O'Ceallaigh as the reason. KL
Either way, there is a sincerity in the moment that captures the purity of the song. Even Prince himself couldn't top it. In 1993, he released a live-in-the-studio duet with Rosie Gaines for his 3-CD The Hits/The B-Sides collection, but it didn't have the quality that made O'Connor's version definitive.

Anti-tax activist Grover Norquist has long held a tight grip on the marionette strings of the GOP. Wielding undue influence as the head of the Americans for Tax Reform, Norquist ensures that Republican lawmakers sign his anti-tax pledge and threatens them with electoral defeat should they even think of deviating from it. Norquist has marked a successful few years, killing the deficit super committee agreement, batting down a tax increase on millionaires, and, of course, ensuring the extension of the Bush tax cuts.
Pleased with his headway, Norquist is now mapping out how he can ensure further anti-tax victories by securing Republican majorities. In an interview with the National Journal, he mused that a GOP mandate would obviously enact an extension of the Bush tax cuts, work to maintain a repatriation holiday for corporate profits, and even pass House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan's (R-WI) plan that jeopardizes Medicare. But when asked what Republicans should do if faced with a Democratic majority that won't keep the tax cuts, Norquist had a simple answer: "impeach" Obama.
NJ: What if the Democrats still have control? What's your scenario then?
NORQUIST: Obama can sit there and let all the tax [cuts] lapse, and then the Republicans will have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach. The last year, he's gone into this huddle where he does everything by executive order. He's made no effort to work with Congress.
Norquist certainly revels in his power, but suggesting Republicans impeach the president over tax cuts is wildly outlandish. According to the constitution, the president, vice president, or public officials can only be impeached for "treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors." Preserving a tax cut that gives more to the top 1 percent than the average income of the 99 percent hardly qualifies. But if Norquist's only goal is to "crush the other team," it seems he'll stop at nothing to do so.

Tri-State governors joined Rhode Island's governor to announce a Gun Safety' Coalition to combat the gun violence epidemic.
The Multi-State Coalition will trace and intercept firearms to stop the flow of out-of-state weapons.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy of Connecticut, Gov. Phil Murphy of New Jersey, Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York, and Governor Gina Raimondo of Rhode Island announced the formation of the new "States for Gun Safety" coalition to combat gun violence. In the face of repeated federal inaction, the multi-state coalition will enter into a Memorandum of Understanding to better share information and tackle this devastating epidemic through a comprehensive, regional approach.
The coalition will advance a multi-pronged effort focused on enhancing inter-state information sharing among law enforcement, stopping the flow of out-of-state guns, and creating the nation's first Regional Gun Violence Research Consortium that will study the issue across multiple disciplines to better inform policy makers nationwide.
By working cooperatively, Governors Malloy, Murphy, Cuomo, and Raimondo said states would be able to tackle issues related to the epidemic of gun violence while federal action by Congress and the President remains to be taken. They are inviting other states from across the nation to join the new effort.
"We refuse to allow federal inaction to enact commonsense, gun safety laws endanger the lives of our residents," Malloy said.
"Gun violence is not a New Jersey problem, a New York problem, a Connecticut problem, a Rhode Island problem, or a problem for any particular state or region – it is a national problem," Governor Murphy said.
Cuomo said, "Here in New York, we're proud to be home to the nation's strongest gun safety law. However, the federal government's continued inaction on this issue has not only allowed the epidemic of gun violence to spread, but it has actually prevented the laws like the SAFE Act from being fully effective,"
As part of the coalition, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island will share information about individuals who are prohibited from purchasing or possessing a firearm within that state.

Cheat Sheet
Same-Sex Legal Kit For Dummies Cheat Sheet
Because the federal and most state governments don't recognize legal same-sex relationships, gay and lesbian partners face unique legal and financial challenges when it comes to doing things that most people take for granted— for example, getting married, buying a home, or adopting a child. By contrast, most LGBT partners (and even sometimes single folks) are required to draw up legal documents, such as advance directives, powers of attorney, living-together agreements, wills, and trusts, just to ensure their rights are protected and their wishes carried out.
The Importance of Advance Directives for LBGT Folks
The term advance directives describes certain legal documents that let you state in writing — before you become injured or ill — your wishes as to who you want to make medical and financial decision for you and what medical treatment (if any) you want performed when you're unable to speak for yourself.
Advance directives documents are particularly important for same-sex partners and even single LGBT people because hospital policy and the law often give preference to your legal relatives over your partner and other members of your family of choice. With advance directives, you can give your loved ones the power and authority they need to make decisions for you and to be at your side during your time of need.
Whether you're single or in a relationship, it's essential for your healthcare providers and your loved ones to understand your wishes regarding what medical treatment, if any, you desire in a variety of circumstances. Only then can they be sure they're making decisions that reflect your desires.
For the most part, advance directives consist of the following documents:
Medical power of attorney: This document lets you name your partner or someone else you trust to make your medical decisions if you're unable to make them yourself.
Durable power of attorney for finances (DPOA): This document gives you the right to appoint an agent or attorney-in-fact (someone you trust to pay your bills, write checks on your account, buy and sell property, make investments, and so on) while you're mentally incompetent (suffering from a debilitating mental illness or disease that prevents you from managing your own affairs) — whether or not you will recover.
Living will: This legal document allows you to make known what medical treatment you want performed — if any — when you're in a vegetative state, in a coma, or when you're at the end of your life with little or no hope of recovery.
Do not resuscitate (DNR) order: A DNR lets you tell medical personnel not to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or take other measures to revive you if your heart stops or if you stop breathing. If your advance directives don't include a DNR order, ask your doctor to write one for you.
You can get state specific advance directives free online from Rainbow Law or have a local gay or gay-friendly attorney draw them up.
Protect Your Relationship with LGBT Wills, Trusts, and Deeds
A good estate plan allows you to arrange, in advance, for the easy and uncomplicated transfer of your property to your family of choice after your death. To make an estate plan that functions to protect those you want to protect, whether it be your best friends, your partner and children, or someone else, you need to create specific legal documents that clearly spell out your wishes for how your property will be managed and to who will inherit it. A properly designed plan also lets you appoint someone you trust to make sure your instructions are carried out.
Estate planning documents generally include but are not limited to the following:
Last will and testament (will): This legal document lets you appoint someone to manage and settle your estate. You can also name someone you want to inherit your property, appoint a guardian for your child, and say whether you want to be buried or cremated. A will is subject to the probate process, which is a court proceeding that happens after your death to determine whether your will is valid.
Living revocable trust: This document is a written agreement where one person (the trustee) agrees to take care of property belonging to the person who signs the trust (the grantor). In most living trusts, the grantor and trustee is the same person. A living revocable trust lets you organize your money and property so that your trustee can easily manage them. Most importantly, a trust avoids probate and allows for the efficient transfer of your property to your beneficiaries after your death.
You can create wills and trusts to protect your relationship and your rights in these ways:
Consult with an attorney experienced in LGBT estate planning.
Make your own will or trust with legal document software.
Order documents from a reputable document preparation service like Rainbow Law.
Important Legal Documents Every Same-Sex Couple Needs
Especially when a gay or lesbian couple is ready to move in together, make a major purchase or have a child, some essential supporting documents are necessary to establish a legal relationship where none would otherwise exist. These documents include the following:
Living-together agreement (LTA): Also referred to as a partnership agreement, this document is a bit like a prenuptial agreement in that it sets forth the terms of your arrangement living together. It's a contract that lets you put into writing how the two of you will share expenses, property, and household chores. It also lets you say how you'll divvy up your property in the event of a breakup.
Co-parenting agreement: This document is a contract between the parents — even when only one of them is a legal parent — that sets forth the terms of how they will parent the child while they live together as a family and how they will continue to do so after they break up.
Nomination of guardian: This document lets you appoint your partner or someone else to raise your child in case you become incapacitated or die before the child reaches the age of 18. Co-parents should also nominate a guardian for their child in case something happens to both of them while their child is still a minor.
Authorization to consent to the medical treatment of a minor child: This document lets you appoint your partner to make emergency and non-emergency decisions about your child's medical treatment. This document can also include authorization to interact with your child's teachers and other school officials, travel with your child, and so on.
