I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well, it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Well, your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Well, baby, I've been here before.
I've seen this room, and I've walked this floor.
I used to live alone before I knew you.
But I've seen your flag on the marble arch,
And love is not a victory march,
It's a cold and it is a broken Hallelujah
Well, there was a time when you'd let me know
What's really going on below,
But now you never show that to me, do you?
But remember when I moved in you,
And the Holy Ghost was moving too,
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Well, maybe there is a God above,
But all that I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you.
It's not a cry that you hear at night,
And it is not somebody who has seen the light
It's a cold and it is a broken Hallelujah
-Leonard Cohen

A Welcome Visit
with their new baby. That made my day! Little miss
Willow is a prefect little human, looks a lot like Amity-
except when she cries, she looks like her dad!!! :)
Amity and I talked a lot about the birth experience, and
I think I'm very excited for that when the time comes. For
now, I'm so glad that I didn't get married all those times
my step dad pushed me too. I know if it had gone according
to plans, I would have 2 or 3 little ones by now and be stuck in
the Quirverfull system for good.

In A Very Firm Strain
Okay, so I've been increasingly more open minded as I recover from a past of judgmental, cult-like families, but I'm going to take a stand here and now on one subject.
I came across an old 60 minute transcript reviewing Laura Doyle's book 'The Surrendered Wife'. In the transcript, they discuss a passage taken from the book. Laura explains how she teaches her daughter regarding her husband, Jesse:
"We talk a lot about Jesse's, 'He's your daddy and you're supposed to obey your daddy and we want to honour him and we want to respect him'. And just talking about why we are cleaning. We want to have a clean house so that we can honor Daddy because Daddy likes the house to be clean. Put it right there. Do you know why we're making the fruit pizza? We're making it for Daddy. We want to please him. We want to do special things for him. Daddy's the king of our home, isn't he? ..."
According to the reporter, this 2 year old daughter is 'in training' to follow in her mother's footsteps as a surrendered wife. Instantly alarm bells went off and everything in me went No, no, no. Absolutely wanted to vomit. I DO have an opinion on this one subject, and it is a very strong one.
It is NOT right to teach girls from the time they are toddlers that someone deserves respect simply because they have a penis. That child's father should get his fruit pizza because Daddy works hard to take care of her, or because Daddy loves her very much and they do things for him because they love him, too, or because it feels good inside to make Daddy happy. And his daughter should respect him because he has integrity, or because he treats her respectfully, or because he sacrifices for them.
Teaching her that a man – even a father - deserves respect because Mama chooses to make Daddy the ultimate center of her world is absolutely not right. If Mom wants to be a surrendered wife, so be it and I hope she is happy with that choice, of course. She can let Dad make the parenting decisions and she can help enforce them. But it is not okay to teach her children (her daughters) that this way of life is anything beyond her choice as an adult.
Taking future choices away from any girl by teaching her that she doesn't have future choices in education, religion, occupation or parenting devalues her intelligence, belittles her ability to choose with the same considerate thoughtfulness we did, and ignores the basic human rights we advocate for so many other oppressed women throughout the world.
I say all this with a degree of indignation and with a certain degree of sadness. My mother sought a better way of life for us girls than she had experienced. She and my step dad adopted a unique lifestyle that was meant to protect the kids from the evils of the world. We were raised explicitly in the line of thinking that Laura Doyle's book promotes. If I at any point along the way had aspired higher education or a career, that goal was immediately repressed with guilt. After all, a stay at home mother is the only blessed life God would allow a woman to have.
That was only one of many rigorously high standards we were expected to keep. Fraternizing with any family who was not like us was out of the question. This caused all of us kids to grow up very judgmental of nearly everyone. The most completely miserable aspect was that of being a female. Even though I could clearly see that my mother was the more capable and more fit parent, she insisted that dad was in charge. And even when my stepfather clearly overstepped boundaries that exist in a healthy father/daughter relationship, causing my utter hatred of him, STILL it was reiterated that I show nothing but respect and admiration for him. Respect that had long disappeared with his unjust actions. Admiration that was impossible to find in my heart.
I will not – I refuse to – raise my daughter to be a replica of me. I will not seek to pass on my personality or lifestyle because it's the one that makes me happy. And yes, I do realize that this is a controversial subject, and I'm no longer a fan of controversy and debates. In the case of this subject, however, I feel no guilt in posting about it because for me there is no controversy. This is a rock solid conviction that Aaron and I stand on, and there is no solid argument in favor if this practice as far as I am concerned.
Dedicated to my future daughter/daughters... I vow that you will have a choice in what your life shapes up to be.

I wish that there were a huge celebration for all the family-less people in the world. Not only the ones who physically have families, but also for those who just have been displaced.
This time of year used to be my absolute favorite. My mom made sure to go all out with decor, singing, and general merry-making. We would never make less than 6 dozen cookies. Christmas spirit had a huge influence on me. Once my aunt came 3 hours to stay with us after getting in a huge fight with her husband. That Christmas, my step dad was stressed, and he and my aunt screamed all the way through the holiday. And I still loved it. Even the year I was 10, when my mom was hugely fat and pregnant, and Warren was intolerable, I remember making cookies with the midwife's daughter and having a blast, almost ignoring his mood.
As the one good memory from my childhood, this holiday stubbornly holds a special spot in my heart. Which is why now, despite everything I've done to protect myself, my heart feels like a hole was punched into the middle of it.
Because this year, there is no Christmas. The kids put up a tree, but well over half the decorations we always put up are gone. Christmas cards were not sent, and there are no cookies. The children are all gone to Lincoln.
Two nights ago, my sister and I went shopping for the little ones and each other. It was the most Christmas spirit I've shared this winter. We put aside our differences and watched a movie, made the peanut butter cookies with a Hershey's kiss in the middle, and wrapped presents. I think between the 2 of us, we could keep Christmas alive in our family, if we really tried.
My boyfriend called to tell me how many gifts he got for Christmas. Now he's at his grandparent's, getting ready for some really amazing food and 'quality family time'. Our new housemate told me that his parents give him 'some $500' to buy his own gifts. My friends from long ago are at their house right now, playing with the one present each that they let the kids open early.
I'm sure if they knew what that did to me, they wouldn't tell me. Or they would invite me to partake in their festivities. Which is touching, but like I've tried explaining, I would be the outsider no matter what way you looked at it. Christmas is totally a family thing.
That's why I propose a family-less people's Christmas. Where we can all cry a little bit, and miss our families. Where we can talk about how alone we would be if we didn't have each other. And then we could all eat a good supper, open some gifts, and commence in merry-making and laughter.
It hurts more the more I think about it, so I'm going to pull myself together now. Remind myself that it could be much worse, and then make some brownies and watch a movie or scoop some snow or something. Merry Christmas, my dear readers! I'll be back to my normal, composed self on December 26th.

Inside My Head, Installment #4
myself. I don't like to generally. Today flew by
really fast. I spent a lot of it cleaning the house up. Then
I got online and instantly got bored. haha
SO good today! Yesterday my sis was here too. I don't
hang out with her much, it was nice.
If I could be alone on an island for 20 years, I would. As
long as I had a sandbox full of words. I'd just write
all day, meaningless nothings. It would be more interesting
than trying to communicate with some people, anyway.
1. If you have 3 quarters, 4 dimes, and 4 pennies, you have $1.19. You also have the largest amount of money in coins without being able to make change for a dollar.
2. President Kennedy was the fastest random speaker in the world with upwards of 350 words per minute.
3. According to suicide statistics, Monday is the favored day for self-destruction.
4. The first known contraceptive was crocodile dung, used by Egyptians in 2000 B.C. Ew!
5. The king of hearts is the only king without a moustache.
That's it. I'm too bored to concentrate on this anymore.

Inside My Head, Installment #3
I love being out of town; there is a certain peace about knowing I'll waste gas if I just run out, so I get to justify hanging out all day doing nothing.
I didn't even wake up until 11 am. When I did get up, I read books, moved Aaron's stuff, Hung up stuff, posted pictures, and did nothing until 6:30. Then I had to go to my little sister's concert. About that... I learned something tonight. Our 3rd grade homeschool choir was impressionably better than Norfolk's Junior High choir. Not only did we know how to harmonize, but we were using sign language to emphasize our songs.
I was in LOVE with my choir teacher. Memories of her are my favorite from my childhood. She used to have long, beautiful hair, and if I whispered in her ear, it would fall all over my upturned face. Kind of weird that I remember it so clearly, but I was in love with her voice, and everything else about her. So... yeah.
A few friends and I also watched the Princess and the Frog tonight, and it was beyond amazing. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to watch a super movie. I loved every second of it. Half the time, I was comparing characters in the movie to people in past Disney animations ("look, it's Edgar from Aristocats!!!"), and the other half I was wishing they would remake all the old movies to look as great as this one.
Want to hear some really deep thoughts I've been having... since it is so close to Christmas, I had to think about what I would do this holiday. I kind of thought about going to church, but besides that, I had no ideas. My mom is probably doing nothing, she is having Christmas burnout, apparently, and the kids went to their dad's. So I'm out a family for Christmas. Not like I had to be, I suppose. Because Aaron's family invited me to theirs.
Problem is, I felt something towards his family that scared me away big time. A few months ago, Aaron's dad was filling up my car tire, and he said that since I was one of his kids now, he was going to do car upkeep for me. And that, coupled with an amazing summer with his mom and dad, stirred up a lot of fond emotions inside me like an explosion.
Bad, bad idea.
That night I had a dream I was still with the Campbells. I woke up crying, but the memories kept rushing in. One of the Campbell girls was married to a cowboy, a true Southern, gentle, man. He was a quiet, unassuming, big protective bear. And I saw in him what I had always wanted in a dad. My idea of a good dad was this guy right here:
His name is Guy Penrod. And this guy was a lot like him. He was my father figure-in my dreams. But one day (in real life!), he was introducing his family, and he turned to me and told his friends, "and this is my oldest girl, Angel. I used to say I would only have 5 kids, but I adopted our 6th because she is my daughter in my heart." Oh snap. I melted into a bliss.
Guess what? He's not around anymore. My mom and her 'religion' messed that all up for me. He got scared of our family and never tried to talk to me again after I moved away. It was a hell on Earth, but then, I was used to that back then.
Not now. I would rather die all alone than be rejected like that again. I don't need a dad. I don't WANT a dad. So why does it bother me so much? It's because I know deep down that I'm bullshitting myself. I know I still want a father. How many times have I been tortured by thoughts of my wedding day and the fact that I'll walk down the aisle alone? How often have I wished I had a dad to talk to about Aaron, and guy stuff, and just to love? And to me, Aaron's dad seems to be made of really good dad material. I'd love to be his kid, to have any dad who cared that much.
So, that makes it a little awkward for me when I'm around his family anymore. Because I start caring too much. I'm trying to convince myself I need to be a loner. I like giving off the appearance of being strong and alone. I wish I could pull it off more convincingly. I'm rather fond of being alone the more I do it, though. Isolation builds the loner in me. Christmas break should help with that, since everyone is gone or busy.
Kind of weird how some freindships work out. Without naming anyone, here's how one has gone just recently: friends for about 6 months, then more like brother and sister for a year, then practically lovers for a month or two, to suddenly cut off. Gone. Out of the picture; but then back again, suddenly, in a weird, choppy way. Streaks of caramel in and out my life.
If you think that's a weird relationship, consider this one: Starts with close friends for about 1 1/2 years. Turns into him thinking of me as girlfriend material while I view him as a father figure. Grows into us dating. Cools down to friends again. Boils up to his rage and my panic. Cut off completely for about 6 months. Out of nowhere, emerging again. Tentative friends, then suddenly heats up to a really smoking passion. Huh. That was weird. And for the first time it's my turn to view him as less than perfect. Wonder what comes next? Cobalt shimmers, faint and far away.
I like the steady, nonstop loving relationships. The kind with a cerise hue. The kind that says Aaron Lee all over it. As long as I have him, I can pretend I'm a good loner, cause all the friendship I need, all the trust I ask for, I can find in him. Without him, I'd be lost somewhere in the middle of nowhere.
Time to stop thinking deep and start thinking happy Christmas thoughts. Here's my kitten:
Isn't Ember Rose sweet!?! Her color is mango, if you wanted to know. What a cutie. I'm going to go eat some Honey Buzzers (It's a cereal.)

1. It's a bit chilly, I'm still recovering from the weather outside my dorm room. Wish I lived in Tennessee, where it was freezing at 42 degrees!
2. I have the most beautiful kitten in the world. Her name is Ember, and she is adorable!
She's a tiny girl for now, but I think she's going to be pretty big. She decided she loved me today-she curled up in my lap and passed out. Sweet baby... (thank you, Cassie!!!)
3. We are moving into our new house by Friday. Lots of work, moving is. At least we have a beautiful house to move into. I'll put up pictures soon.
Short post, cause I'm really tired... and full of chili, which makes me tireder...

Inside My Head, Installment #2
So... I think I got a concussion last night. The main reason I think this is that this kid
and I slammed heads so hard I heard a crack. And then I felt a throbbing pain on the OTHER side of my head! Not to mention that I slept last night like I had taken sleeping pills, and I couldn't remember my roommate's name when I woke up. Ouch.
We have a lot of snow here. Actually, more than I have seen all year. That's why school is cancelled! I'm very excited about that.
Our school NEVER closes, so this is a fun occasion. I should be doing laundry today. I will get around to that eventually. I also want to make brownies. It would be fun to smell like a coconut in this weather.
There was an awesome Australian film crew at our house yesterday. I had more fun with these guys than I have any of the previous crews. Aaron and I got to bring friends and eat out with them. They had never experienced snow like ours! It was pretty interesting. Apparently They went to talk to the Campbells, the people I stayed with in Tennessee. The Campbells weren't aware of the subject of the interview. So they were very surprised when they heard it was about me. They then tried to lie and say they didn't know who I was, which obviously wasn't true, since they had also sad I had more problems then then could fix. So I guess in a way I got my revenge on them, or will in this documentery. Not like I was looking to. Part of me is scared that I'm going to lose my friends forever. The other part knows I never really had those friends to begin with.
I have a friend I haven't talked about before... I don't really know why.
He's a really sweet guy.
Oh, and he likes Josh Groban! I love that because he picked someone that I know. Like Celtic Thunder. Josh reminded me of a super sweet shy guy. I wish I could go back to Nashville... specially with this weather.
I got my Christmas shopping done!! lots of cool things. I can't wait to talk about what I got, but I can't yet.
Heart ATTACK!!! I thought I just lost everything I typed so far. But I found it again. Hooray!!!
Time to go do laundry and stuff.

Out of Rythm
It's been a long weekend. Promised to be a good one, but I guess promises get broken a lot. Hopefully it gets better. I've been feeling really down this past 24 hours, it's sucked. I hate when I make plans and they are messed up. But it's worse when someone else messes them up and then could care less that they did so.
Not that I should complain. I wonder if I'm controlling? I should keep track of what I do and see if I really am.
Today should get better because I'm getting a birthday present from a coworker, and that makes me happy. Plus tonight, if plans work out for once, I'm going to watch Blind Side at the theater. And then school comes again. Ugh. Two more weeks.

Inside My Head, Installment #1
I'm up earlier than I really wanted to be. It is usually nice to be the first one up, but today I'm just plain tired.
Last night the choir groups at school had an away concert, and we were gone for that from 4-10. Really good time, though. I had a duet which went off well. It's so fun to watch the Men's Ensemble, mostly. All the little things that they do... Joe with his lips barely moving. Josh with a grin at all times. Dane and Cameron sport matching red faces in the top left. My favorite is Grady, though. He looks like he just got put in the middle of a group of people he doesn't know, and he stares around, petrified, as he sings. I LOVE it!
Sometimes I wish I could see what people really thought. Then I changed my mind cause I probably don't want to know. I'd rather know what I think people think of me. It might be more flattering. Or not.
If I had coconut smelling stuff, I'd wear it a lot. I love it.
All I want for Christmas is as follows: A vest from Shopko, I think. Converse Shoes. Boots, like the slipper/really soft kind everyone is wearing. Soft blanket? A PUPPY. Long sleeve shirts are cool. Gift cards are always awesome, to wherever. The Buckle would be a good place to get a gift card cause I love the jeans but they cost SO much.
I used to be a huge fan of Jesus. Then I became indifferent but respectful of him. Now I've decided I'm not a fan. He makes for a good excuse for a lot of people to do a lot of things they shouldn't. Like hating homosexuals. Which is to me the same thing as Southerners wanting slaves. It's discrimination. I used to be judgemental in the name of Jesus. So did my step dad. And he used Jesus to molest me, too. So I don't like Jesus that much anymore.
When I do talk about my real feelings these days, I get bashed. I used to hate that, but now I guess I'm used to it. I know how I feel, and I can't change it to make people happy. I still respect those people who love Jesus. But he is not my kind of myth. I would rather go with a flying spaghetti monster, or better yet, nothing at all.
Today I'm doing a tkd testing. I hope I can get to a new rank cause yellow belts are sad, and very low. I have a secret for you. Now that I'm a new person, I'm doing alot of new things that are fun and exciting. I got a tattoo, for instance. It's funny how my music teacher didn't freak out, and my mom loved it, but I hear that my boyfriend's family might be more opposed to it. So maybe I'll just keep my back covered around them. Oh wait...I already do. I also colored my hair green, then red, then back again. The weirdest thing to me is that I used to think I was immune to intimacy. It reminded me of my step dad. But now I feel the same as other young humans do, and it's kind of unfortunate. It makes me want to get married and get in the baby making business. It's a strange, dark magic to look at guy friends I've known all my life and feel a new sensation of 'wow, he's good looking...' I'll leave it at that and let you think my mind is just that innocent. I have no idea what to do with these new feelings. I guess I should go to counseling again. I'll go call her right now.
Okay, so back to my thoughts. I kind of really want to eat something taco.
My tattoo, in case you wondered, is a yin yang with dolphins around it. It has a lot of meaning to me. The dolphins are purple. When I'm rich I'm going to have a pet dolphin. The tattoo hurts now cause it's covered in scabs. My reallly good friend had a baby last weekend. I really want to go see it.
I could think of more things to say. Like talk about meeting Dane's dad at the concert last night, or about Ethan making dirty jokes. But I kinda want to be done for now and go get ready for my martial arts jazz.
Oh, and I'm getting a kitty. Pictures to come!

Learning 'Lincoln': Five stops in the U.S.
By Adam Carlson, Special to CNN • Updated 23rd November 2012
View Gallery
7 Pictures
Audiences will be getting a new look at Abraham Lincoln this weekend with the wide release of director Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," and they'll be seeing a lot of America, too.
The film, which recreates the former president's life through the crucible of the Civil War, was filmed at several historic locations. Lincoln's life took him through a number of states before and during the war, which gave Spielberg and his crew a wide geographic canvas.
It was while shooting "War of the Worlds" in Rockbridge County, Virginia, that Spielberg began discussing returning to the state, said Andy Edmunds, interim director of the Virginia Film Office. Edmunds worked with production designer Rick Carter for nine years, helping him scout locations across the state.
Yet there is so much more to Lincoln than the movie that bears his name.
For history and film buffs looking to explore Lincoln's life, here are five locales that go beyond a trek to the National Mall.

Is Hollywood's presidential bio-pic "Lincoln" in line with history? CNN's Kareen Wynter reports.
Daniel Day-Lewis is Lincoln in the Steven Spielberg-directed biopic of the 16th president. Take a look!

City Point
: Hopewell, Virginia
One of Spielberg's Virginia stops was City Point, now Hopewell, which served as Ulysses S. Grant's headquarters during the Siege of Petersburg.
Lincoln spent two weeks there in 1865 with his family, traveling aboard the war ship River Queen, which filmmakers replicated in full, said Rita McClenny, chief executive officer of the Virginia Tourism Board.
From there, Lincoln watched the fall of Petersburg, later visiting the city, which was also shot on location, Edmunds said.
Indeed, many pivotal wartime decisions "were made on Virginia soil," McClenny said.

Capitol Square
: Richmond, Virginia
Filming in Richmond was a win-win for both the state and the filmmakers: Spielberg dressed up Richmond's capitol building as its national counterpart, and he used the capitol square as a sort of backlot for more than two weeks, Edmunds said.
Tourism officials, in turn, organized city tours, turning the location shoots into opportunity.
While filming, locals consumed the star sightings. A local restaurant even debuted a salad named after one of the movie's stars: the Sally Field of Greens.

? Yes, and fans can too, McClenny said. With any luck, they'll sit in his seat.
Old State Capitol
Lincoln/Herndon Law Offices
: Springfield, Illinois
Springfield, Illinois, was the nucleus of Lincoln's career, political and otherwise, before he headed to Washington. It was there in 1858 that he gave his "House Divided" speech. It's also home to the Old State Capitol, where Lincoln worked as a legislator, and to the Lincoln-Herndon Law Offices.
Both sites are crucial, according to Dave Blanchette, public information officer at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library, the former because "it looks as though the General Assembly just met there yesterday rather than 150 years ago." Adding to the historical sense visitors get while touring, it feels now as it felt then.
But Lincoln was also a lawyer for 25 years, "longer than anything else in his life," Blanchette said. The law offices -- the only of their kind, as no other buildings remain where Lincoln practiced law -- provide a necessary perspective on the president's professional experiences.
New Salem State Historic Site
: Petersburg, Illinois
Lincoln spent some of his most formative years growing up in New Salem, Blanchette said. And the township is at the heart of the "log cabin" image that has crystallized around the 16th president.
The site was recreated in the 1930s and '40s using the remaining foundations.
"You can stroll through the log village and try and imagine what life would have been like in the 1830s," Blanchette said, which lets visitors experience a period when Lincoln transformed himself from a "young man with no real direction in life" to someone with "purpose and a vision."
Abraham Lincoln Birthplace
: Hodgenville, Kentucky
The president's birthplace is "literally the first memorial of any kind of Abraham Lincoln," said Bill Justice, superintendent of the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Park, which has its origins in an early 20th-century project by the Lincoln Farm Association.
The park, designed by John Russell Pope years before he began work on the Jefferson Memorial, includes two sites: the Memorial Building, which stands on the farm where Lincoln was born in 1809, and his boyhood home at Knob Creek.
It was at his boyhood home that Lincoln formed his earliest memories, Justice said, such as planting pumpkin seeds between the farm's corn rows.
At Knob Creek, visitors get a more hands-on idea of what those early years were like: The field is "pretty much unchanged," Justice said.
A favorite activity of his at the park is visiting the creek.
"The best thing to my mind, it gives me goose bumps when we go over there, is to stand there," he said, "and look down on the field and contemplate that you're pretty much looking at what Abraham Lincoln saw."

Alessandra Ambrosio has done a lot of repping for Tod's in recent months. She was very fond of the Tod's Wave Bag, and here she is shopping in LA with a new Tod's mini.
Queen Bey was recently spotted out with her mom Tina Knowles and this suede MYSTERY backpack in NYC. Tell us what this is, hive mind! I can't stand the intrigue.
the Coach x High Line Summer Party in NYC. She's carrying a special Coach Rogue Bag that features Felix the Cat, the wonderful, wonderful cat. (That's part of his theme song, btw.) This bag made its debut in Coach's Resort 2017 collection.
Chrissy Teigen recently carried this adorable blue suede Chloé Inez Shoulder Bag while doing a little shopping with John and baby Luna in Beverly Hills.
Here's David Beckham, hauling his oversized Louis Vuitton Keepall around Paris. David just so happens to be in town for the Louis Vuitton Spring 2017 men's collection show. Quelle surprise!
Hailey Baldwin also attended that NYC Coach party, and she brought along a studded orange leather version of the Rogue. Her dress is also Coach.
Here's a stunning candid shot of Heidi Klum in NYC. She's carrying a bag we haven't seen before, a tropical patterned Saint Laurent Helena Mini Bucket Bag. Thus, the Bucket Bag lives on to see another summer, and possibly fall.
Many words come to mind when I think of Kate Moss, but "cartoon" isn't one of them. Nonetheless, Kate carried this cute little Disney x Coach collab clutch to a Rimmel London event in London.

There are of course more of them, but we only list which will bring
confusion to our code. Note that the current version is based on IE,
not FF, since its more vulnerable.
I don't know how to write HTML in this blog, so i hope i can make them clear without examples.
1. Both in IE and FF, we can use the ID of a DOM object to call it. But we cannot always use 'document.id' to call it. In FF, document.f (f is id of a form) is undefined, but in IE, document.i (i is id of an image) and some other DOMs is undefined.
2. In FF, the assignment of innerHTML of a script object (s.innerHTML='alert(123)') will be executed, while in IE, such assignment is illegal.
3. In FF, visit 's.src' while s is a script will return the absolute path: 'http://....../xxx.js', while in IE only return the relative path.
4. Let b be the body object or other DOM object which has the attribute 'className'. But in a tag, we must write "body class='c'" instead of className='c'. It will be transformed into 'className' automatically. But in the method 'setAttribute', there is difference between IE and FF:
Note that the attribute 'class' in tag will be
automatically transformed into 'className'. In FF, b.setAttribute('class', 'newclassname') will set b.className, while in IE, it is b.setAttribute('className', 'newclassname') will set it.
5. Both in FF and IE, the onload method of a DOM object other than form and image will not be executed. But if we do define an onload method in the tag of other DOM object, we can 'alert(o.onload)' to see the difference: in FF it's a function, but in IE it's a string.
6. In FF, body's onclick method is window.onclick, while in IE it is document.body.onclick.
These are for now. We'll update a blog if we find more.

I just got the discharge report for the little boy I posted about here. Not only did he survive, he did very well. It's amazing. I thought he was a goner for sure. He has some neurologic deficits, a partial hemiparesis of some sort, which is a pity but it sure beats a very small coffin! Most importantly, the rehab report describes him as "alert, oriented, and conversational"! Woo-hoo!
So often, what I doo seems pointless -- most of the folks I see have no actual disease, or the trajectory of their disease is going to continue regardless of any intervention I perform. And of course, it is too rare for me to get feedback on the outcomes in cases. Thus, the job can seem to be reduced to . . . moving meat. So it's really a thrill to hear about a truly terrible, tragic case that had a happy ending. Not that I did anything too earth-shattering in it, but I was the inflection point in the arc of his illness where the trajectory turned from moribund to improving, so I feel justifiably proud and part of the miracle.

Nice work, my friend. Sometimes it may be moving meat, but there is no doubt that you do something where you have a very real and profound impact on people's lives.ReplyDelete

It is kind of heartening in a backwards way to hear you feeling angst about the relevance of your work. As advisor to the judge, I've felt pretty pointless often. I suppose it is a by-product of a deep burning desire to make the world a better place.ReplyDelete
That's great bro! It really is great to hear stories like that! Pretty soon, I'll understand how you feel; I have my first clinical tonight and I get assigned my residents for the next 10 weeks! I just hope some can have a happy ending like this one!ReplyDelete
Don't ever trivialize what you do, for then it will lose what made it special to you in the first place.
In a similar vein, we have recently taken care of a 5 month old girl who was saved by "vitamin R."ReplyDelete
She had been sick for one day with high fevers, and was seen in the ER with no obvious source of infection. She was given a slug of Rocephin and sent home. The next morning she came back to the ER with a rash, which the parents attributed to the antibiotic. In fact she had palpable purpura, and not 3 hours afterwards the blood culture from the previous evening reported N. meningitidis growth.
I know that we sometimes complain about indiscriminate use of Rocephin. A case like this little girls', though, shows the impact of the single example that justifies the other 999 healthy "number needed to treat."

Excellent job, and thanks for posting.ReplyDelete
I recently had a nurse come up to me and tell me a family was requesting me to be their doctor. It turns out I had cared for their 70 yr old father a few months ago when he came in for "just not feeling right". A vague chief complaint, a negative review of systems and a normal neurologic exam later, I felt that something just wasn't right and got a head CT which reviewed huge bilateral subdurals. Needless to say, he was whisked off to surgery and spent the next few months rehabilitating but had done amazingly well.
When the wife arrived and recognized me, she asked if I could be their doctor again, since she felt that I had saved her husband's life some months ago.
This touched me in a profound way. Our patients, although often sick and frequently grateful for their care, never really request us. We're just the person that picks up the chart. It meant so much to me (although frankly, it can be boiled down to one of those times when you thank your stars for a bit of luck).
It can be hard to express things like this to those who don't know what we do for a living.

The woman was walking on U.S. 92 near Interstate 4 when she was struck Friday morning, a Florida Highway Patrol spokeswoman said.
A woman struck and killed by several vehicles while walking on U.S. 92 near Interstate 4 has been identified.
She is Bridgett Davis, 47, of Hawthorne, said FHP Sgt. Kim Montes.
Davis was hit at 4:40 a.m. Friday as she walked east on U.S. 92, Montes said.
Traffic was shut down on eastbound U.S. 92 for several hours but reopened about 8 a.m.
Davis was walking east in the inside lane of U.S 92 when she was hit by a vehicle driven by Nathan Camburn, 31, of DeLand. After she was thrown onto the outside lane of the highway, a blue vehicle and then a white one struck her, Montes said.
Camburn, who initially struck Davis, stopped, Montes said.
Troopers are asking anyone who saw the crash to call troopers at 407-737-2213, Montes said.
The drivers of the blue vehicle and white vehicle who did not stop after hitting the woman are also asked to call. Troopers have evidence they gathered at the scene to identify the vehicles that did not stop, Montes said.
The crash remains under investigation, Montes said.

Slowly and groggily I awoke early Sunday morning and made my way to LaGuardia airport. I would be flying to Chicago in advance of my attendance at the IAJGS Jewish Genealogy conference. Who would have thought that I would arrive at the airport at 5:36AM, yet not check my bags until 7:00AM?
As I was commiserating with the rest of my "line mates" upon the terrible misfortune of waiting in such a long line at such an early hour, it suddenly occurred to me that so many of our ancestors – many of whom have only been discovered as a result of JewishGen – would have been happy to simply make it to these shores alive, counting whatever personal belongings that remained as a blessing. It was with this thought that I traveled to Chicago.
I finally made it to the hotel, and soon found myself involved in talking to a multitude of people who all shared the same goal of researching genealogy. Hailing from all regions of the world, including Israel, Germany and even right here in the 'windy city' (aka Chicago), conference attendees have gathered here to participate in this conference and help other researchers in their quest to discover their family roots. It is truly amazing to be part of a group of people whose sole purpose is to perform research on their family while helping others research their family as well.
Being here reminds me of the JewishGen Discussion groups (expertly run by Dick Plotz) which provide thousands of researchers throughout the world the opportunity to connect, ask questions, exchange information and learn from others. The only difference is that in this case people can offer blistering criticism without any moderation! (Note: Compliments are also accepted, in fact preferred!)
Being that the participants are so motivated to "help and be helped," the conference schedule itself has been jam packed. Beginning at 7:00AM until the late hours of the evening, approximately 700 people are participating in classes, speeches and workshops that shed light and offer assistance on genealogy research. As I have spent most of my time in the JewishGen booth, I have had the fortunate and fascinating opportunity to talk with many of the conference participants – many of whom have been kind enough to share some of their, often personal, stories with me.
While often humorous, these people shared with me the stories of how they put in an overwhelming amount of work into preserving our heritage. Specifically, they explained how valuable JewishGen has been in assisting in this research.
One woman explained to me that she had traveled to Eastern Europe some twenty years ago in search of her relatives. She had no idea where to begin and spent years searching, with varying degrees of success and failure. Then, a couple of years ago, she registered on JewishGen's Family Finder (JGFF) and she received an email from a person who said that their grandfather's were brothers. Overnight, after years of searching, she had discovered her cousins!
At the JewishGen booth (or the "JewishGen conference headquarters," as we like to call it), we have displayed a number of books. Among them is "Dominican Haven" which accompanied the museum's recent exhibit about the Jews who were able to escape to Sosua during WWII.
A particular couple stopped by the booth and picked up the book. I immediately used the opportunity to let them know that not only are we offering free shipping to all conference participants, but we are also offering a 10% discount on all books.
After I saw that I had not yet scared them away, I began explaining how Jews first came to the town called Sosua in the Dominican Republic. They immediately stopped me and began to look excitedly at the pictures in the book, for their very close friend was born in Sosua during the war. In fact, this friend recently made a wedding and decided to hold the wedding in Sosua! This couple told me that they traveled to Sosua for the wedding and that it was an incredibly emotional experience. Unfortunately they were not able to gain entrance into the Shul, but I was able to show them a picture of the Shul in the book, as well as a picture of the Menorah which was on display at the Museum.
Another woman, who happened to be a first time conference attendee, was so excited when she finally came over to the JewishGen table late this afternoon. After spending a day immersed in lectures and workshops she flatly declared "wow, everyone here is as enthusiastic about genealogy as I am!" Someone else remarked: "Now I understand why JewishGen is always slow, because everyone is always on it!" (Note: Stay tuned for marked and significant website improvements!)
A book which elicited much emotion was the recently published "Belzec" book. From the jacket cover: "On a conveyor belt, thousands of Jews entered into the camp and after just two hours, they lay dead in the Belzec pits, their property sorted and the killing ground tidied to await their next arrival. Over a period of just nine months, when Belzec was operational, Galician Jewry was totally decimated: 500,000 lay buried in the 33 mass graves."
But for many, the day was one of optimism and hope. Perhaps the greatest line of the day was: "I am sorry, but I will be unable to join you tonight because I am having dinner with family I have not yet met."
All this within the first 24 hours!
There are many more stories to tell, but the hour is late (or early depending on your perspective) and there will be many more people to meet and share experiences with tomorrow.
In the meantime, please enjoy these pictures from the conference (stay tuned for more) and be sure to stop by and say hello at the JewishGen booth. We would love to see you.
Ps. Don't forget to leave your stories and experiences in the comments section below. You can sign your names or choose to be anonymous, there is no preference.

The battle against the clock on gun control
This post originally appeared on Slate.
The battle for gun control is a battle against the clock. After a tragedy like the massacre in Newtown, Conn., gun control advocates say lawmakers have about 30 days to channel public outrage toward enacting laws that might prevent another mass killing. After that, people get distracted, new challenges crop up, memories dim, and nothing gets done. Those who would like to stop gun control legislation know how this clock ticks, too. It is a battle between emotion and organization. How long can the emotion be sustained and how long can the NRA organization wait it out?
This Sunday will mark 30 days since the Newtown, Conn., shooting.
Gun control advocates say that the Newtown killings slowed this march of time. Whether it was because the victims were helpless kids, because it was near Christmas, or because this horrible event, after so many other horrible events, caused a tipping point, the window for action will stay open longer than 30 days this time. But how much longer?
There is only one person who can really keep the window open: President Obama. After the shooting, the president who didn't talk much about gun control for four years, set a high bar for himself. He promised to use all the powers of the presidency to combat the root causes of gun violence. We're starting to see what that means in real terms, and the task, as administration officials and gun control advocates talk about it, puts the president ever more on the hook. The president is the only one with the public stage to maintain and shape public concern after the massacre. After his successful re-election, he also has the ready-made grass-roots organization to rally public sentiment.
Immediately after the shooting, the president tasked Vice President Biden with leading an investigation into all the possible measures that could be taken to avoid another gun massacre. He has held regular meetings with victims of gun violence, gun control advocates, faith leaders, video-game makers and Hollywood movie representatives, and the NRA and other gun rights groups.
There are two avenues for change emerging out of the discussions held by Vice President Biden. One is a long list of potential legislative changes: laws to ban assault weapons, limit the size of high-capacity magazine clips, promote universal background checks, crack down on gun trafficking, improve mental health screening, and perhaps nudge Hollywood into tamping down some of the violence in video games and movies. That's the grinding, nose-counting process that will take place in Congress. The second, larger task, as administration officials describe it, is broader and more fuzzy. It requires changing the culture of guns in America and shifting the conversation from one of protecting gun rights enshrined in the Constitution to one of protecting children.
It is this second task for which the president is qualified above all others. Every day we see examples of how difficult it is to get anything done in Washington. But when Vice President Biden talks about this kind of cultural change, he talks about seatbelts as much as the 1994 assault weapons ban he helped author. Changing public attitudes about seat belts took more than legislation to make it the norm.
Listening to those involved in this effort there are echoes of the 2008 Obama campaign--they describe an energy and swell of sentiment that just needs a person to shape and guide it. Activists who have been fighting for gun control for years describe a new unexpected passion among progressive groups. After meeting with the vice president and his staffers, they express surprise (and delight) at how seriously the president and his team are pushing this effort.
The reason the president is qualified for this larger task is that it doesn't require Congress. He can give speeches, use the bully pulpit, fire up his campaign organization, and generally engage all of his best tools. Of course he'll try to promote certain legislation once Congress comes up with an actual bill, but what administration officials are talking about goes beyond the immediate House and Senate wrangling of the coming months.
The first real test for the president will be the State of the Union address. The State of the Union is a dreary speech but it has a useful symbolic value. The president's goal in this cause is not just to soften up the members of Congress or put them under mounting pressure to compromise. The president has a larger cultural message he can send through this year's speech.
There are a few benchmarks to watch in order to gauge his seriousness. The first is how much he talks about the issue. Will he offer more than the 465 words that Bill Clinton delivered on gun violence in his final State of the Union address, given after the Columbine shootings? In 2005, George Bush devoted more than 1,000 words to Social Security reform, which he pushed in his first State of the Union address after winning re-election. Other things to look for are how many gun violence victims will Obama invite to sit in the balcony? Will he call on Congress to pass legislation by a certain date? Will he promise to embarrass those who don't step up?
Once the president has kicked off his pitch in the State of the Union, the next test is whether he will travel the country speaking about gun control. White House officials say this is likely but it hasn't been decided. It's also not the only issue he's confronting. He's got confirmation battles, endless budget fights, and an immigration reform push he'd like to start. George Bush embarked on a 60-day road-show to sell his Social Security plan. How much travel will the president devote to this cause that is arguably far more serious than Social Security reform?
One of the key messages, says a White House official, is to "drain the drama and fear" out of what the president is proposing. The message the president wants to send is that he's not trying to trample on hunters and sportsmen. That's a necessary precursor to any legislation because advocates for reform argue that the only way they will be able to build popular and political support is if they can split the NRA from its leadership. If the membership can be convinced that the president is not an ideologue trying to grab their guns, they will be less likely to believe the NRA leadership who paint him that way.
Of course, the Bush tour was a failure. When Obama, or any president, embraces a piece of legislation, the battle immediately becomes partisan. That's one of the reasons the White House resisted embracing the recommendations of the Simpson-Bowles commission. Put Obama's name on it and it would sink. But the president has already wrapped himself up in several specific proposals for greater gun control and committed himself to the task. Plus, if aides are right, and this is a movement and not just about passing the lowest common denominator legislation next week, then that movement builds as the president winds his way across the country.
During the campaign, when the president said that change doesn't come from Washington, he was criticized for sounding like he had given up. What he meant was that he can't change lawmakers who are stuck in their ways. The only useful change came when people were energized and mobilized. He has an organization that can do this--arguably one of the best in U.S. political history. Organizing for America, his campaign arm, will be enlisted in this new fight, but it's uncertain just how much it will be mobilized. Will a few emails go out or will volunteers walk the streets campaigning for changes in the law?
If the president does make a full push to enact gun control laws or change public sentiment, it will be another test of the bully pulpit and its limitations. When President Obama pushed his health care reform it became less popular. His efforts to pressure Republicans during his first term in a variety of budget fights did not work. Neither of those causes had a galvanizing moment behind it though. The president has also shown signs that he's going to be a little more combative in his second term than he was in the first.
Vice President Biden reports to the president Tuesday on the findings of his inquiries, and after that, the president will back a set of specific recommendations. He won't offer legislation. Congress will have to come up with the language themselves. Based on conversations with administration officials and gun control activists, few think that an assault weapons ban is possible, though the president will push for one. A plan for stronger background checks is likely to have more support, as are laws that would crack down on gun trafficking. Whether the president can even build support for that depends on his will--and how long he can keep the time from running out.

As school gets back into gear and there's a crispness in the air, I've been inspired to purge the excess stuff from my home and keep things organized. I printed out this image and stuck it in my organization folder. It must be a great feeling at the end of the week when one can look at Friday and then look back at the earlier days of the week, realizing all of the crossed off accomplishments on the boards!

An akhnif is a cloak worn in Morocco by Jewish and Berber males. The eye shape is thought to be protection against the evil eye.
Akhnif from Textile Museum of Canada
Akhnif from the Jewish Moroccan Heritage Museum
Boy's brown akhnif…The narrow, long henna-dyed "lens" unambiguously represents a vulva. It is the symbol for the mother who all her life "carries her son in her womb" and lovingly hopes to protect him with this cape.

What are peer-reviewed / scholarly journal articles and how do I find them?

Peer review is a formal process whereby articles submitted to a journal or conference are sent to several established scholars in that field of study. These reviewers may suggest improvements before deciding if the article should be published or included in the conference.
Many of our databases allow you to limit your search to scholarly articles. Watch our short tutorial on Finding Scholarly and Peer Reviewed Articles to see how.

REAL ESTATE- ON THE BLOCK- Bluebird Hill: Scottsville horse farm ready for business
Address: 10029 Hatton Ferry Road
Neighborhood: Scottsville
Asking: $1,995,000
Assessment: $1,349,600/ $813,100 with land use
Year Built: 2007
Size: 2,200 fin. sq. ft. for humans / 25,000 fin. sq. ft. for horses
Land: 102 acres
Agent: Mary Leavell, 220-2200, Keller Williams
Curb Appeal: 8 out of 10
Bluebird Hill Farm will be home to at least two types of residents: people and horses (and possibly some pigs, goats, or chickens). Unlike a regular home, though, the horses have had the most design input.
The current owner built the farm, located footsteps from the Hatton Ferry/James River Runners complex, to be an equestrian center, with a 25,000 square-foot barn as the centerpiece. Visitors enter through a front room that could be an office or reception room with built-in benches and a reception desk.
The warm-up ring and riding ring, carpeted with soft sand, are cavernous, with high ceilings and windows to let in natural light. Without the windows and sand, it would feel suspiciously like a warehouse.
Each of the 28 twelve-by-twelve stalls has its own water source, ceiling fan, and movable partitions, and there's separate storage for tack and even a blanket-drying room. Shower stalls feature both hot and cold (apparently atypical in horsey amenities).
A 2,200 square-foot apartment was added to the complex along one outside wall, with windows on two sides. Though visitors enter from the barn, there's a clear transition to the personal space, which features a large living room opening to a roomy kitchen.
Two full baths and a stacked washer/dyer are convenient– and probably necessary here– although the barn does have another bathroom off the office for visitors. The apartment is big enough that a small family probably won't feel too cramped.
The area outside the barn has also been carefully planned. The driveway runs around the entire structure, so trucks don't have to back up to exit. Twelve paddocks have freeze-free watering and recently-treated four-board pine fences. (For non-horse people, a paddock is a fenced area for the steeds to cavort in.)
The farm boasts many riding trails including some along the James River. Railroad tracks do cross the property, but a crossing allows access.
Beyond amenities, Bluebird Hill Farm is poised to be a lucrative enterprise. With monthly boarding fees and other services, the farm could quickly start providing income to help with the mortgage. Beyond the financial investment, any farm is also, however, a labor investment, and anyone considering undertaking this enterprise will obviously have to love horses and the work that comes with them.
As an added bonus, there's an old brick rancher on the property above the complex. It's not updated, but it's satisfactory enough that the current owners live there. But even here, as with the rest of Bluebird Hill, horses are the priority– a smaller, private barn with seven stalls is within walking distance of the house. Designed in the same style as the main complex (cream with bright blue trim), it offers access directly into a paddock.
Depending on the situation, the apartment or the house could be ideal for a farm manager. If a buyer wants to run the business side of the farm, one space could even be a rental. As is, the property's obviously large enough to accommodate new construction.
And who wouldn't want to personalize such an inviting space? The horses are already taken care of. With 102 acres, it's not like there isn't plenty of room.
Each week, a brave local seller invites the Hook to provide an impartial, warts-and-all look at their real estate listing. E-mail yours today!
