Jason White and Dr. Dilworth Parkinson, Linguistics and Asian and Near Eastern Languages
In Arabic pedagogy (as in many languages), listening comprehension continues to be an area of frustration for students as well as teachers involved in second language acquisition. The greatest challenge is to allow a student access to authentic material with interaction. Obviously, the resources (natives) for such idealistic activities are very limited. The goal of this software development was to make authentic material available to students and allow for interaction (though somewhat limited), and to make the setup of such activities and materials easier for the professor. Computer-aided instruction cannot replace conversation or live interaction; however, it can and does help the student prepare for these activities in their target language (in this case, Arabic).
The program was developed in HyperCard 2.2 on the Macintosh platform. It includes three files which work together to allow the professor to set up his/her activity and the student to participate in the activity once it has been set up. Currently, the teacher is limited to creating approximately 44 different activities under the same format; however, this will be edited in order to allow more flexibility and volume for creation and organization. The student is allowed to see a video clip or hear a sound clip and do multiple choice questions based on the clip. Each time the student completes a round of questions, he/she receives more help until doing three rounds of questions or until they answer all of the questions correctly.
For the teacher, there is a file which he/she may use to edit and create the activities for the students. When he/she opens that file, he/she needs to have recorded and placed their video or sound file with authentic material into a designated location. He/she may then name the activity, identify the video/sound file, and enter a brief abstract. The program checks for the sound file, enters the information, and moves the professor to where he/she may create a transcript, translation and dictionary to accompany the sound text. Finally, the professor may enter questions and finalize the installation of the activity.
When the student opens the file, he/she is taken to a table of contents where he/she may choose an activity. He/she is taken to a screen with control panels and immediately hears the sound. At this point, the student may see the available controls, but they [the controls] are still disabled. Consequently, the student is forced to listen to the sound/watch the video. After hearing/seeing the clip, he/she is immediately taken to questions with no help whatsoever. After completing all of the questions, the correctly answered questions are removed so that he/she is not asked those same questions, and the student now receives control over the sound. The student has a 'scroll bar' to control the sound. He/she may listen to the sound as many times as he/she wants and focus on any part which is especially difficult. The student may then begin the questions which he/she did not answer correctly, and still control the sound while doing the questions. After completing the second round of questions, the student is given the option of seeing the transcript and using the dictionary. Glossed words are designated by underlining. When he/she clicks on an underlined word (in Arabic), he/she will see a definition in English along with notes that the teacher may have entered with the word's definition. The student still has control over the sound. After the third round of questions or answering all of the questions correctly, the student is given the option to see any questions answered incorrectly and is rewarded with all helps including the sound control, transcript, dictionary, and the translation. He/she may exit to the menu and do other listening activities of the same format or exit all together.
Much of the software being developed in language instruction has become complex and full of 'bells and whistles' with little content and a lack of solid pedagogy. Despite beginning down that same road, I decided to simplify and give the user more control of the interface. By doing so, memory requirements were reduced, time was saved, and my project was completed within the deadline proposed. The simple secret is, that pedagogy must govern the technology and not vice versa! Also, the computer should not be pushed to imitate something which it is not capable of imitating.
The program was tested here at BYU with some Arabic students who felt somewhat stranded in the beginning of their experience, but enjoyed the way that helps were incremented within the activity. In fact, the sounds and texts which were entered were estimated by Professor Parkinson to be good for a 300-level student. The students who tested it were coming out of Arabic 102 and all scored very well. In fact, the first student to test it, scored perfectly on the third round of questions. Granted, some of the correct answers were made by guessing; however, the students manifested an increased confidence after using it. There remains much more testing to be done as to the effects of this program on students ability, but the initial feedback is promising.
This program has a future here at BYU and at other institutions. Professor Parkinson has requested that it be implemented into his program, and this semester we will begin entries for the 101 level. In addition, a professor at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California has requested a program with the same functionality in ToolBook for the IBM platform. I plan to develop it with his content of sounds and texts as part of my Ling 565R class this fall. ToolBook for the IBM will be my medium for development. The templates will be remain here at BYU to be used and distributed by the Humanities Research Center. Finally, the program uses the Arabic Language Kit for Macintosh which makes it more versatile and makes it usable for Latin-based languages in addition to Arabic.

Morning Parade was a five-piece alternative rock band from Harlow, Essex that formed in 2007 before signing with Parlophone in 2010. Its self-titled debut album was released early in 2012. The line-up was composed of Steve Sparrow (lead vocals, piano and guitar), Phil Titus (bass), Chad Thomas (guitar), Ben Giddings (piano/synths), and Andrew Hayes (drums). The band broke up on 4 December 2014.
Steve Sparrow and Phil Titus met as students at Burnt Mill Academy in Harlow. They later worked together as labourers. Steve then met Chad Thomas at Harlow College in 2003. The three formed an experimental rock band called Anotherstory[1] which featured Sparrow on lead vocals, piano and guitar, Titus on bass and backing vocals and Thomas on guitar and piano. The other two members were Mike Pope (guitar) and Charles Gadsdon (drums). Gadsdon now owns artist management company, The QE Company. The group's first single, called Traffic, was released independently prior to breaking up in 2007.
After the split, Sparrow toured the independent music scenes of Harlow and Bishop's Stortford. During this time, he met Andy Hayes and Ben Giddings, who became the final two members of Morning Parade that year.[2] They started out away from the public eye, instead focusing on songwriting. When they began gigging in 2008 it took fewer than 20 dates before they were approached by a record label. The band eventually signed to Parlophone in May 2010.[3]
Their name stems from the days when Titus was working as a plasterer and Sparrow was his labourer. It required early morning starts and travelling, which they referred to as doing the 'morning parade'.
On 29 November 2010, Morning Parade announced their 2011 UK tour.[4] Following a number of UK shows they toured Europe with The Wombats. Their UK dates included the V Festival in Chelmsford, a few miles from Harlow. A planned performance at the Belgian Pukkelpop festival in August 2011 was cancelled after the venue was hit by an unusually heavy storm, which collapsed trees, tents and stages, killing several people.[5]
In 2012, Morning Parade performed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in the US and at Hyde Park in London for the torch relay which opened that year's Olympic Games.[6] Between October and December 2012 the band toured the United States, opening for The Smashing Pumpkins. One such show at the Barclays Center in New York was shot in 3D.[6]
Morning Parade's eponymous debut album was released on 5 March 2012, following the release of singles Under The Stars, A&E and Us And Ourselves. It was recorded at 13 Studios, owned by Blur and Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn, and in collaboration with producer Jason Cox
On 8 December 2011, Morning Parade played the album in full at London's Camden Barfly to a small group of fans. On 6 February the following year, a month before its physical release, the album was made available on Spotify.[7]
The track listing was as follows:
"Under the Stars" was played on Zane Lowe's show on BBC Radio One,[8][9] and released on 29 November 2010. It was also featured on The Vampire Diaries. The band released the video for "Under the Stars" on 2 December 2010 on YouTube, which was first shown exclusively on The Sun's website on 30 November.[10] The song has been played on Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, XFM, Absolute Radio and Q Radio.[11]
"Speechless" was featured on The Vampire Diaries,[12] in the episode "We'll Always Have Bourbon Street",[13] of Season 4
"Shake the Cage", from their new album, Pure Adulterated Joy, will be featured in Konami's football video game Pro Evolution Soccer 2015, having been featured in an official trailer.[14]
They have also received praise from MTV,[15]Vogue.,[16] and AbsolutePunk
In a Facebook posting, on 4 December 2014, the band announced they were calling it quits.[17]

At only 18 years old, Nastya a.k.a Nana Abramova is a fresh face in the fashion world. While the Ukraine native has only been modeling for 2 years, she has already made it as a regular on the runways of countless designers including Giambattista Valli, Dior, and Dolce & Gabbana. She has also been featured and interviewed by Vogue.com and was named one of Models.com's Top Newcomers for the SS16 season.
I had the pleasure of interviewing Nana and asking her a couple of questions about her fast paced career as a model and working in an industry that not many 18 year olds can say they're a part of.
A model agency in Kiev found and contacted me through VK (Russia's Facebook) and asked about my height and proposed that I sign for them. I said, "let's try!" I never though of being a model; I didn't even know it was possible. My mother agency is Ego Models, then I signed with other agencies in Paris, Milan, New York, Barcelona, London and Germany.
What has been your favorite job/project so far and why?
I would say I like to do fashion shows more than photo shoots, but both are still good. Giambattista Valli, Adam Selman, Dior and Dolce & Gabbana are my loves! My favorite photo shoot was for Glamour Spain, the whole team flew out to Canary Island for 3 days to shoot the story.

I love when it's super busy during fashion week. It's great to be a part of it, and every show you do. And about D&G, words are nothing! It's such a special and wonderful show.
Has working in the industry changed or influenced your style?
Definitely yes. I've started mixing different styles in one look.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Maybe I'll go into the jewelry business. I don't know for sure, but for now I'm enjoying modeling.

The Common Core State Standards Initiative, less formally known as Common Core, has raised hackles all over the place.
Now I may be just a Simple Country Lawyer but I thought I'd take a closer look at the standards themselves and try to cut through the noise and see for myself if they make sense and what, if any, potential pitfalls are lurking there in the underbrush.
I'm calling this The Melvin Project, in honor of Arizona Senator Al Melvin who was recently quoted voicing his opposition to implementing the Common Core standards in his state. Since there's a lot of material to cover, I'll be doing this across multiple postings and will restrict my inquiry to the proposed standards for math education.
But first a few words about Senator Melvin. When asked if he had actually read the Common Core standards documentation, he replied, "I've been exposed to them." Every teacher (and for that matter, every student) knows exactly what that phrase means. It's what students say when you ask if they've done the reading. In other words, Senator Melvin most likely has no idea what is contained in the Common Core Standards documentation. Here's the winning quote from the Arizona Daily Star:
"Pressed by Bradley for specifics, Melvin said he understands "some of the reading material is borderline pornographic." And he said the program uses "fuzzy math," substituting letters for numbers in some examples."
This is the part that really drew my attention (and that of several other bloggers as well). Merriam-Webster defines pornography as "the depiction of erotic behavior (as in pictures or writing) intended to cause sexual excitement". I'm not one to pass judgment on what individuals do in the privacy of their own homes but I wish to extend my sincere sympathies to Mrs. Senator Melvin and just leave it at that.
Now about that "fuzzy math" comment…
Fuzzy math is a real thing and has two definitions. The first involves math that deals with non-binary values. For example, in the real world, we can talk about things being 'hot' or 'cold' without assigning specific temperatures because these terms represent ranges. Traditional math can only deal with specific numbers but fuzzy math lets us perform useful calculations using values that fall along a continuum. In computer terms, traditional math is digital, the real world is analog and fuzzy math lets us bridge that gap.
The other definition of 'fuzzy math' is political. It's a term used (rightly or wrongly) to criticize your opponent's numbers. In many cases, it translates as "I don't understand what you're talking about, but I just hate you and I hate your ass face."
Finally let's address that whole "substituting letters for numbers" outrage.
Senator, that's what those of us who didn't sleep through our primary education years call Algebra. It's the simplest possible math that can still be called 'Math'. I realize that the name comes from the Arabic and perhaps that's at the root of your objections (I don't judge), but rest assured when it comes to traditional values, Algebra is no slouch in that department as it dates back to the ancient Babylonians. We use letters in place of (some) numbers as placeholders either because we don't know all of the numbers yet or because we don't care about specific values since we're trying to find a general solution where we can plug in numbers later.
So I invite all of you to join me for The Melvin Project, where I explore the history, reality and (possible) conspiracy of Common Core and see whether we can all just calm the heck down.

Congress General Secretary, Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said flattery has no place in the party and its youth wing.
"Those who believe in flattery should leave Congress or Youth Congress and join BJP," he said at a meeting here.
He said the days of using friends or relatives to make progress in the Congress were also over.
"I have put an end to flattery in some states," Gandhi said adding this will happen soon in Madhya Pradesh also.
The Congress general secretary said if tribals wanted to ensure their development, they must bring forward good leadership.
He suggested that they could emulate tribals in Orissa who worked for their rights.

If you are wondering what to expect when you arrive at First United Methodist Church this is the page for you. Below you will find some typical frequently asked questions. If you have any other questions please feel free to contact us.
Where should I park?
When arriving at First UMC there are parking lots on both sides of our facility. There are spots that are designated for Visitors near the entrance to each lot off of N. Von Minden. Once you park, there will be a greeter waiting to welcome you in the parking lot and they can answer questions and direct you in the right way.
What are the worship services like?
Our 9:00 am Traditional Sunday morning worship usually begins with a welcome from the pastor and some announcements. After greeting one another, we move into a time of music, prayer and scripture, followed by a sermon. We then share communion before singing a final song and receiving a blessing. After the service, we gather in the Fellowship Hall for light refreshments. A normal Sunday service usually lasts about an hour.
Our 11:10 New Life service is our contemporary service and is similar to the flow of the traditional service. The big differences are a band, video projection screens with song lyrics and occasional videos, and a more laid back approach to worship. After worship you are invited to stay for fellowship and meet new people.
Our 6:00 pm Wednesday Midweek service offers an atmosphere of fellowship, uplifting music, thought provoking messages and an opportunity to celebrate Holy Communion. It is "come as you are," and we will always finish before 7:00 pm.
May I take communion?
The table is open. All who believe that Jesus is present in the bread and wine are invited to commune. Children are welcome to commune as well. We are available to explore the meaning of communion with you and your children but all are welcome at our table. Grape juice is used for communion and there is also a gluten free bread option.
What about my children?
We encourage families to worship together. If your little one cries out or makes a little noise, that's just fine. It is good for our whole community to worship God together. If your child needs some time away, feel free to head into the narthex (lobby outside the sanctuary) where you and your child will have more room to get wiggles out. You can still hear and see the worship service in the narthex area. We also have "Kiddie Packs" on stands outside of both worship entrances. These packs are helpful for little ones who need something to keep them busy. They include many quiet toys, pipe cleaners for bending, small stuffed animals crayons and much more. These can be returned to the same stand and will be refilled for the next week. There is also an attended Nursery available during both Sunday Morning services
How should I dress?
You will find that the community of First United Methodist Church is comfortable dressing in many different ways. You will find some people dressed in their Sunday best and others in jeans and T-shirts and everything in between. We welcome you to dress however you feel most comfortable.

Pick of the Weekend: End of LI Craft Beer Week Bash
This past week's Long Island Craft Beer Week celebrations will close out this Sunday at the Black Sheep Ale House in Mineola with brews from every Long Island brewery that distributes. In recent years Long Island has become a hot-bed of brewing activity with new small brewers popping up every few months, it seems. Breweries like Greenport Harbor Brewing, Barrier Brewing, and Southamton Publick House have become well regarded by New York City beer drinkers. If you haven't had a chance to taste offerings from the smaller brewers like Blind Bat, Spider Bite, and Port Jeff that are difficult to find in New York City, this is the perfect opportunity. Thankfully the Black Sheep Ale House is only a few blocks from the Mineola train station so there is no need to drive if you don't have a car or know someone who does. All pints will be $4 from 4 to 7 p.m.

His business started going bust and he found himself in serious financial trouble.
He was so desperate that he decided to pray for help.
"Oh Lord, please help me, I've lost my business and if I don't get some money, Im going to lose my house as well,please let me win the lottery".
Draw night arrived and somebody else won the prize.
Joe again looked up and prayed. "Oh Lord, please let me win the lotto! I've lost my business, my house and I'm going to lose my car as well".
Again, Euro Millions night came and went and Joe still had no luck.
Once again, he prayed... "Oh, Lord, why have you forsaken me? I've lost my business,my house and my car.
My wife and children are starving. I don't often ask you for help and I have always been a good servant to you.
Please just let me win the christmas lottery this onetime so I can get my life back in order ... "
Suddenly there was a blinding flash of light as the heaven opened and Joe was confronted by the voice of the Lord himself:
"Joe, Meet Me Half Way On This One. Buy A Ticket, will ya!?"

McMurray wins All-Star spot
Jamie McMurray took the lead on the first lap in the NASCAR Sprint Showdown on Saturday night and never looked back.
McMurray, who started the event in second, assumed the lead from Martin Truex Jr. and led all 40 laps. Despite restarting second for the final 20-lap segment after the pit stops during the break between the racing segments, McMurray easily passed Casey Mears, who elected not to pit at the halfway point.
Both McMurray and second-place finisher Ricky Stenhouse Jr. transferred to the All-Star Race.
Despite winning the Showdown and qualifying for his seventh All-Star race, McMurray said "something didn't feel right" as he pulled into the pits. In the second segment, he developed a vibration. Despite the gremlin, McMurray acknowledged, "This car has so much grip, it's a lot of fun to drive."
McMurray's best finish in the All-Star race was ninth in 2009.
Stenhouse, who will make his All-Star debut, described the experience as "real cool".
"Hopefully, we can be in the All-Star Race every year," Stenhouse said. "Hopefully, we don't have to keep coming through these Showdowns, but if that's what it takes, that's what it takes. I'm definitely excited about it. We're ready to go."
Danica Patrick won the 10th annual Sprint Fan Vote. In her Showdown debut, Patrick finished ninth in the No. 10 GoDaddy.com Chevy.
"It's a big honor," Patrick said. "This is for the fans. God, I'm going to sound really cheesy right now. I'm going to race for the fans tonight because I really, really — I got done with that race and honestly I feel really fired up. I wanted to make passes and make my way up and do what I could to get into those first two positions and didn't do that, and I feel like I owe it to them to put on a good show or a better show in the All-Star Race.
"My good team here made something — I didn't know they made it, so I don't want this to sound like I'm coming up with this all on my own, but they knew how good my fans were and I knew how hard they worked, so we made a 'Thanks, fans,' sign to put on the car just in case I won (the vote), so thank you, Team Danica and Stewart-Haas. So that'll be on the car. Anyway, glad to be in the race."

Good News To The Arab Tyrants: There is no Mahdi after all.
This is the dream of the Arab tyrants, I imagine them talking to themselves, there is no Mahdi after all:1- The time of oppression of Muslims every where is not this time there is many years still for end of time. We will let some Muslim scholars proclaim so or they would say there is no Mahdi after all or he came and gone with the wind.2- The Arab and Muslims masses are too weak after all.3- The Islamic clergy is in our hand at least the major part of the official clergy.4- We are protected by the west.5- Any rise up of a Mahdi or revolution we will label them terrorists and lump them with extremists. After all we are part of the war against terror.6- We will continue give our people false hope and will continue enjoy power and money like the good old days.7- The interest of the West and Israel who are controlling the world is with us. We are the best alternative.8- If even a Mahdi will rise today America will have the ways to get him if they do not already have the plan. They may even make one and destroy him in the right time, though they may be wrong and the west support him and even Israel.9- It is even paranoia to think that God will send a man that will change the world from oppression and tyranny to Justice and equality.10- The Mahdi look to appear as the Antichrist for the Christians so they will take care of him we do not need to worry.11- After all there is no God and no prophecies we are the one who control the world affairs and the wicked will continue to inherit the earth.

Thursday Pages, June 10
Hello Writers and Poets!
Just a quick little reminder that this Thursday is the monthly writers gathering: PAGES. Bring your notebook and favorite writting utensil or your laptop and the desire to hang with other writers and, of course, write!
We meet in the Large Conference room of LWCC which is right across the hall from the kitchen. The time is 7:00 -8:30 PM. Pages is always a great time of community with others who share the same passion for writing as you do. Hope to see you there!
Grace & peace ~ deAnn
Here is the recap from May's Pages Gathering:
On Thursday we gathered for our virtually uninterrupted time of writing. The evening began with introductions as several people were new to the group. Of the seven ladies and one gentleman that were there we chatted about our writing interests and what the evening would entail. As we moved to the writing prompt, instead of telling the group what the writing prompt was, I read them a few poems and asked them to guess what it might be. The following is the first poem I read:
The Elephant Has a Bad Earache
The elephant has a bad earache.
The centipede stubbed all his toes.
The giraffe has developed a nasty sore throat
and the rhino can't breathe through his nose.
The mockingbird has an unclear ache.
The lion's so hoarse he can't roar.
The hog cannot eat, as his tummy's upset,
and the parrot can't talk anymore.
The doe has a pain in the deer ache.
Just what should the beast doctor do?
The duck is so sick she can't possibly float.
It's a really bad day at the zoo.
by Denise Rodgers
Yes, that's right! I encouraged them to write about the Zoo. After ten minutes or so, a few people shared their written thoughts. They ranged from an elegant "look" at Zoo animals, to some off the cuff poems that were funny and interesting! After the hour of writing our evening concluded. As everyone said their goodbyes, I reminded everyone that deAnn would be back in a few months.
Happy writing till next time.
Celesa H.

Ecke 2005
Oil on Canvas 40 x 30cm
51st Biennale, Venice
1st November 2005
Despite his work being in the Saatchi collection and at Frieze 2004, I had never seen it in either print or at an exhibition before. This is a man who is obsessed with interior space. Almost every painting shown was an interior, all sparsely furnished and unoccupied. In fact I cannot even remember a door or window and the overall effect was of very claustrophobic spaces. I felt they were almost a mental space rather than an actual space - probably because there were limited details to associate with.
My favourite was this simple painting of just a corner. It is typical of the work shown, exploring space through the construction and deconstruction of an imagined interior by building up layers of paint at the same time as creating overlapping perspectives. The paint is so thick that it overhangs the edge of the canvas (see below) making the image almost a sculpture. Then having created the space and depth within the picture, with the thickly painted surface he reminds us of the flatness of the painting by covering areas with fine speckles or drips of paint.
In all of his interior views there is an all-prevailing absence of a utopia, they are sites that seem to have no relation with the real space of Society. However, nor are they sites of voyeurism like the sets of television reality programmes such as Big Brother. These are fundamentally unreal spaces, offering nothing to distract the occupants from their own existence or let them forget their own life. We are given no clues as to the function of the rooms and without windows and doors it is as if the outside world doesn't exist.
The other interesting aspect of these spaces is the difficulty one has assigning a date or a period to them. Devoid of meaningful visual clues, even when a sparse piece of furniture or decoration is included, we are thrown back on regarding the walls as intersecting colour planes. For me this reinforces the notion that these rooms are psychological rather than physical spaces. Without a connection with time or reality they become somewhere to mentally retreat to, and be alone for reflection and contemplation.

Ag experts say Nebraska's winter wheat crop is coming along much better than what's being seen in several other states that are suffering from worse drought.
Royce Schaneman, executive director of the Nebraska Wheat Board, says there are spotty dry areas in Nebraska but not near to the level seen further south.
"The dryness that we're seeing in Nebraska is nothing like the southwest Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas panhandle," Schaneman says. "Right now, where we are with the stage of the crop and the little bit of moisture we've got, the crop actually looks fairly good."
Schaneman says Nebraska's winter wheat crop is looking better than it did at the beginning of the recent tour by the Wheat Quality Council.
"The estimates that we've taken since the hard red winter wheat tour, our crop looks a little better than the guys south of us," Schaneman says. "We're estimating maybe 40 bushel per acre yield statewide which is actually down about five bushel per acre off of our state average."
Schaneman says if they can get timely moisture and avoid temperature extremes, Nebraska's wheat growers should be able to finish the crop in fairly good condition.

South Philly brunch (and more) spot Fourth and Cross abruptly closes
Owner Andrew Michaels said he took responsibility for 'any and all failures' and was trying to help his staff find other jobs.
Fourth and Cross is no more.
The contemporary take on the classic diner, lauded far and wide as a progressive emblem of Philadelphia's commercialand culinary progress, closed abruptly Monday. Owner Andrew Michaels posteda notice on the restaurant's website and social media channels that the last meal service would be Monday, Dec. 21.
Michaels thanked his customers and staff for the brief venture, saying he was "proud" of the work done. "However, due to a slew of small reasons (some obvious, some not), I will not longer be able to keep our doors open," Michaels lamented. "Any and all failures are mine," he insisted.
RELATED: New Pennsport bar The Industry will cater to restaurant industry workers
The news hit Pennsport hard as Fourth and Cross received numerous positive reviews and was quicklyfeatured as a go-to spot in multiple local publications. The restaurant opened June 15.
When Fourth and Cross opened, Eater Philly reported that the restaurant was searching for staff and promised"above-average" wages, health insuranceand paid time off.
Michaels said in a statement that he's "already reached out to other restaurant owners to assist in any way" that he can help secure employment for his staff. "Money is tight," Michaels admitted, "so we will do our best."
He went on to say that if any businesses were "looking for hardworking, passionate and responsible folk who love the restaurant business," they should contact Michaels at email@example.com.

In many occasion, writing is like an act of channeling. From time to time you have a sentence or even a word that persistently comes up in your mind and it will not go away until you started typing them down or writing them out on a piece of paper. Usually, after those first word or sentence is being written, the next one follows quite fluidly without you even have to put too much thought into it. When it is done however, you feel like you have discovered a completely different world, an unknown universe that has been locked inside your mind and make you wonder… what else have I been hiding inside my mind? What is it that is brewing inside me?
This poem or whatever it is you want to call it was born from one of those moment 4 years ago. I remembered sitting in a small gallery waiting for a friend to come and in front of me was a series of painting hanging on the white wall. Pastel colors oil paint randomly splattered on a white canvas. My mind was empty, and suddenly words started to flow and I typed furiously on my Iphone.
When all is done, I read what I just wrote and I really wonder. What was it that is going on inside me? Where are all this imagination comes from? Well, you can tell me maybe… all I know is that writing is a form of healing and words that you express may come as a form of letting go, or an emotional release which makes you feel much lighter at the end even when you do not really understand it.
Anyway, below is my kind of alternate universe.. ^_^
I would love to have you here.
To gaze at the stars and waiting for one of them to fall.
So that I have a reason to hold your hand, closed our eyes and make a wish.
A dreamy wish upon a falling star.
While our palms intertwined.
And I can feel your pulse.
The pulsing of blood that runs smoothly through the vein, straight to the heart.
I can feel your heart beat.
The beat that follows the rising and falling of your chest.
And I can feel your heart beats closer to the surface of my hands.
Sending tingling vibrations to the fingers.
A shiver of blood that runs through the vein to match my own pulse.
"Lets share our dreams. I want to listen to yours. I want to see the stars in your eyes. And later I will tell you mine. Snuggle you close as we live our dreams together. Even when its only for a while"
Thus the words come like a wave. As the night is dawning, the dream continues in a poetic interludes, never ending sentences filling up those empty spaces, absorbing the heady warm air while our eyes are fixated, gazing to the stars. My own stories flowing like water rushing from an open dam. Stories I never thought I would share, of a life I have secretly live in the solitary confinement of my own head. From childhood dreams to those severely altered by a present reality. Dreams which are spoken, unspoken, realized or unrealized. Lived, forgotten, destroyed from the memories only to resurface after decades of hiding in vain.
And he listens.
Waiting for his turn to tell his story. To share his dream.
I feel his heart beat with each words.
Like a drum that echoes the same tune.
The same beat that rush the blood to my heart.
I basked in those words of dreams.
Of something that we know possible.
Something that we know could be ours.
How do I know which dream do I have to pursue? It is easy, he said. "You are your dream. You have the freedom to pursue all but each time, focus on the one you spent most of your time thinking about. The one you cant take your mind off. The one you can be proud to call yours. The one that defines you. The one that will make your world and make your heart smile"
I can think of one. That one dream I know I have always had. That one dream that never change as decades passed. The one that stayed the same even after I finally found a single strand of greying hair in my head. A sign that time has finally claim its present in the world I created from the shadow of sky and clouds.
The one that surpassed time and life it self.
The one that defines me.
It is not easy. You have to believe it and work hard for it. Sometimes even wonder if it is worth all the trouble. Because only you can see your vision. Only you can touch those images that has become so vividly colorful as it take shapes inside your head. Only you can measure the time of when to move forward and when to let go.
Cause dreams are the one thing that keeps us alive.
The one that keeps our heart beating.
The one that makes you believe.
Because when the night is over and the sun brings us back to reality. All of this will disappear. And what's left will be our hopes and dreams. A memory of a pulse that once beats through the palms of our hands. The sign of a life that will never fail to remind you to continue living your dream.
So every time you breathe, as those air fills up the lungs and empowers the heart, you will remember.
Remember to live a dream.
Remember to share a dream.
Remember the moment when all your dreams are intertwined.
With the falling of the night and the rising of the sun, we shape our lives. To have the frame of vision collides. To linger in the memories of time, space, touch and a rush of blood to the head.
Because when we wake up.
The dream world may vanish to strands of smoke.
And we are left with only our heart.
That reminds us that we are alive, and will continue living
Even after the moon disappear.
Note : this is only a dream. One that has gone beyond those blurry lines of reality. And being set free, probably inspired by reading and watching too much Twilight Saga.. ^_^

Buffett to FBN: S&P Downgrade "Doesn't Make Sense"
...Buffett reaffirmed his belief in the quality of the United States' credit telling FBN, "In Omaha, the U.S. is still triple A. In fact, if there were a quadruple-A rating, I'd give the U.S. that."
Buffett also added the following...
"The U.S., to my knowledge owes no money in currency other than the U.S. dollar, which it can print at will. Now if you're talking about inflation, that's a different question."
Now, contrast what Buffett had to say with this:
Jim Rogers on CNBC: "Don't See How U.S. Can Ever Pay Off Its Debts"
The U.S. doesn't deserve a AA-plus credit rating, much less triple-A, commodity bull and noted investor Jim Rogers told CNBC on Monday.
Rogers also said...
"It seems to me it's physically, humanly impossible for the U.S. to ever pay off its debt ," Rogers said. "They can roll it over and continue to play the charade, but the U.S. is bankrupt."
So Buffett says U.S. is quadruple-A and Rogers says U.S. is bankrupt. Two informed participants with polar opposite views.
I'm guessing both views resonate with individuals who mostly think the other is crazy. No matter who you agree with it's worth knowing how and why others come to completely different conclusions with what seem like the same set of facts.
From this Bloomberg article:
Buffett Says Cutting U.S. Rating Was a Mistake, Sees No Recession
"Financial markets create their own dynamics, but I don't think we're facing a double dip recession," said Buffett, chairman and chief executive officer of Omaha, Nebraska-based Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK/A) "Clearly what stock markets do have is an effect on confidence, and this selloff can create a lack of confidence."
Who knows how this plays out. The nature of financial markets, especially the modern iteration, create tough to predict feedback loops that take on a life of their own.
In many ways, a monster of our own making that I'm not convinced serves its primary purpose all that well.
We could easily make it simpler, smaller in scale, less hyperactive, less expensive, and more stable if we wanted it that way. Yet, considering the interests involved, that's not going to happen anytime soon.
Some relevant quotes:
"...the 3% of GDP that was made up of financial services in 1965 was clearly sufficient to the task, the proof being that the decade was a strong candidate for the greatest economic decade of the 20th century. We should be suspicious, therefore, of the benefits derived from the extra 4.5% of the pie that went to pay for financial services by 2007, as the financial services share of GDP expanded to a remarkable 7.5%. This extra 4.5% would seem to be without material value except to the recipients. Yet it is a form of tax on the remaining real economy and should reduce by 4.5% a year its ability to save and invest, both of which did slow down." - Jeremy Grantham in Finance Goes Rogue
"In the '20s, a tiny class of people were financial promoters and a tiny class of people were buying securities. Today, it's deep in the whole culture, and it is way more extreme. If sin and folly get punished appropriately, we're in for a bad time." - Charlie Munger in the Stanford Lawyer in spring 2009
"When they wanted to make the securities market function better as a gambling casino with vast profits for the people who were croupiers—there was a big constituency in favor of dumb change....these changes repealed longtime control of margin credit by the Federal Reserve System." - Charlie Munger in the Stanford Lawyer*
"...just one after another the very people who should have been preventing these asininities were instead allowing foolish departures from the corrective devices we'd put in the last time we had a big trouble—devices that worked quite well." - Charlie Munger in the Stanford Lawyer
What we have then is a system that is much larger than what it has been historically. An example of where that additional size comes from is the making of fast-paced bets using various options, derivatives, and high-speed trading strategies.**
Now, I've no doubt those activities serve the participants involved quite well. Whether modern financial markets come even close to effectively serving their broader purpose or not an afterthought it seems.
"I can assure you that the marking errors in the derivatives business have not been symmetrical. Almost invariably, they have favored either the trader who was eyeing a multi-million dollar bonus or the CEO who wanted to report impressive "earnings" (or both). The bonuses were paid, and the CEO profited from his options. Only much later did shareholders learn that the reported earnings were a sham." - Warren Buffett in the 2002 Berkshire Hathaway Shareholder Letter
The current large, overly complex, and often less stable iteration of the financial markets is the one we have to live with for now.
It will continue to impact the remaining real economy from time to time in not easy to foresee ways.
* Munger's point is that we're not controlling financial leverage if we have option exchanges. He also said: "Unlimited leverage comes automatically with an option exchange. Then, next, derivative trading made the option exchange look like a benign event."
**Here's what Charlie Munger said about high frequency trading at the last Wesco Financial Annual Meeting according to these notes: Fancy computers are engaging in legalized front-running. The profits are clearly coming from the rest of us -- our college endowments and our pensions. Why is this legal? What the hell is the government thinking? It's like letting rats into a restaurant.

The TV Series 24 is staring up in India. The first episode is set to air this week, staring Anil Kapoor as the Indian version of Jack Bauer. I never got into "24" when it aired in the states, but I am a big Anil Kapoor fan. You might recognize him as Prem, the host of Kaun Banega Crorepati, from Slumdog Millionaire (and he did appear in Season 8 of the US version of "24") but had to roll my eyes when I saw the advertisement for it.
|Anil Kapoor at the US "24" Finale
Why? Just re-read the sentence above. Anil Kapoor is known in the US for his role as host of a TV game show ("Who Wants to Be A Millionaire"), ripped off from the US, and is now staring in a TV series, also ripped off from the US. Can't Indians come up with their own ideas for movies and television?
So much of the hit TV shows and movies here are plots taken from US shows. In the spirit of "24", here is my top 24 list of the most blatant Bollywood rip offs:
Bollywood: Partner
Hollywood: Hitch
Bollywood: Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu
Hollywood: What Happens In Vegas
Bollywood: Aisha
Hollywood: Clueless
Bollywood: God Tussi Great Ho
Hollywood: Bruce Almighty
Bollywood: Kaante
Hollywood: Reservoir Dogs
Bollywood: Players
Hollywood: The Italian Job
Bollywood: Khal-Naaikaa
Hollywood: The Hand That Rocks The Cradle
Bollywood: Chor Machaaye Shor
Hollywood: Blue Streak
Bollywood: Black
Hollywood: The Miracle Worker
Bollywood: Nishabd
Hollywood: American Beauty
Bollywood: Hum Tum
Hollywood: When Harry Met Sally
Bollywood: Ek Second...Joe zindagi Badal De...
Hollywood: Sliding Doors
Bollywood: Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai
Hollywood: My Best Friends Wedding (they couldn't even be creative with the title here)
Bollywood: Knock Out
Hollywood: Phone Booth
Bollywood: Kahin Pyaar Na Ho Jaaye (the Indian version is a bit tamer then the US version)
Hollywood: The Wedding Singer
Bollywood: F.A.L.T.U.
Hollywood: Accepted
Bollywood: Apartment: Rent at Your Own Risk (They should have considered a Hindi title because this English one sucks)
Hollywood: Single White Female
Hollywood: Single White Female
Bollywood: Pyaar Ka Saaya
Hollywood: Ghost
Bollywood: Sssshhh.
Hollywood: Scream
Bollywood: Mr Ya Miss
Hollywood: Switch
Bollywood: We Are Family
Hollywood: Stepmom
Bollywood: Hari Puttar: A Comedy of Terrors
Hollywood: Home Alone
Bollywood: Teen Patti
Hollywood: 21
Bollywood: Ra-One
Hollywood: Tron Legacy (although many say it's more Robocop)

We met with Captain Gyno on Thursday, April 13th. After a quick exam, the good captain told us that we had still made absolutely no progress. He also told us that my pelvic bone was in the way, and that there was just no way a 9 lbs (or 7 lbs, for that matter!) baby was going to fit through the space I had available. I think this is something called CPD - baby's head is too big for Mommy's pelvis. The captain told us he wanted us in for a c-section as soon as possible. However, with it being Easter weekend, it was going to be tough gathering together the "A-Team" (as he called it) sooner than Monday. So we got scheduled for Monday morning, April 17th, at 10AM.
I was foolish enough to make dinner reservations for Saturday night - last weekend without child and all. . .
Labor started about lunch time on Good Friday, April 14th. Things started out slow enough, but the timing remained completely sporadic. We never really got into any pattern.
We made a trip to Walmart for some general errands, and things started to get worse - the contractions were causing me to stop in my tracks. Still, nothing I couldn't handle. And still, not pattern of any sort.
The contractions started to get closer together as the evening progressed. The lovely girls from work brought us dinner, and we ate - this is apparently not what you're supposed to do when you're in labor. I guess I forgot that rule.
We started timing the contractions late that evening, and while they were still coming sporadically, they were getting closer together. We left for the hospital, calmly, at about 10:30PM.
The movement of the car relaxed me, and the contractions started to get further apart, again. We were both worried we were heading all the way to the hospital for no reason.
We got to the hospital at about 11PM. I think we were the only people in the labor and delivery unit - the place seemed deserted. We were admitted, and got settled into our room. The nurse came in and asked, "What makes you think you're in labor?" I got the impression she just didn't believe me. Although, perhaps most of the women she sees are groaning and moaning.
I got hooked up to all the monitors, and the nurse came in to check on us. We were already almost to 3 cm dialated. She called the good captain, and he didn't believe her! He again seemed concerned about performing a c-section without his "A-Team" and told us he wanted us to wait through the night.
And then I got a dose of Demerol. Sweet, sweet, Demerol.
The contractions weren't bad, but the captain wanted to make sure we were actually in active labor before proceeding (I also think he wanted us comfortable for the overnight wait). I was able to watch the contractions on the screen - I could still feel them, but there was just no pain. And no coherence, either. I was talking some serious jibberish. The odd part, was that I knew as I was saying things that they were making no sense. I just said them, anyway.
We slept for a while. The c-section was scheduled for 7:30 the next morning, so we had plenty of time to rest up.
The captain got to our room right at 7:30. We waited for his partner (Corporal Gyno?) until 7:45. Jason was given scrubs, a hat, and mask to put on. I was rolled into the operating room, which was FREEZING. The nice lady doctor administered my spinal - and what a weird feeling THAT is. It took no time to take effect, and while I was completely awake, I couldn't feel a thing from the waist down.
Jason came in then, and things got started. I could feel a lot of pulling and tugging, and could certainly hear what was going on. It was surreal - there were 3 doctors, and at least that many nurses in the room - all having ordinary conversations while I'm being cut open. I think they talked about hunting or some such nonsense.
Lots more tugging and pulling. A weird suction sound. And then one big pull, and I felt this odd emptiness. I could breath easier, and I felt a bit hollow. Then I heard her.
The doctors had Jason stand up and take pictures - I was surprised, I was sure they would want to keep him back behind the curtain. I was certain he'd WANT to stay back behind the curtain. But he didn't.
The first words from the Captain were, "Look at the thighs on that baby." She was very well built - sturdy and strong right from the start.
They took her over to the warmer to get cleaned up. She had quite a bit of fluid in her lungs, and was struggling against the suction tube. Jason said after that she was even able to grab the tube, and pull it out of her mouth. I could only see bits from where I was - but I could certainly hear her crying.
Next came the weigh-in. 8 lbs. 3 oz. Smaller than the ultrasound had shown - but still a big baby.
Jason stayed with her the entire time she was with the nurses. I was still being tugged on.
They finally got her wrapped up, and Jason carried her over to me. She was just beautiful. It was a face that was so familiar, and so new all at the same time. It was in that moment - the three of us together for the first time, that I realized that we were a family.
Jason took her then out to the nursery. She was still having some trouble breathing, and needed to be looked after under the baby warmer. They finished cleaning me up, and I was rolled into recovery, where I slept such a deep sleep. Jason came by to check on me, and I reminded him of all the people he needed to call.
After a couple hours in recovery, we were moved down to the postnatal unit. We were right across the hall from the nursery, but I was still unable to see her. She was still under observation, and I was in no condition to get up and go to her. Jason was given the run of the nursery, and took a ton of pictures. He came back to check on me repeatedly, and to show me all the photos of our little girl.
Finally, at 5PM that evening they brought her to me. The most precious baby you will ever lay eyes on - there in my arms. Finally.
She took to nursing right away, and we were able to cuddle for a long time.

Sarah Palin "Hits it Out of the Park"
A+ for EVERYONE!
I watched Sarah Palin's speech with great interest.
This woman has been vilified for days as not ready, and a disaster, and simply not ready in case John McCain kicks the bucket.
However, there were a couple of lines that, in my opinion, did the traditional VP's role and attacked her opponent with lines that were rather feisty but extremely effective.
Barack Obama attacked Palin's small-town mayor experience directly, saying his campaign had more people working on it than lived in Palin's small town.
This is true. Obama is the mayor of Obamanation. I guess it is easier to be mayor of a town where everybody signs up to support you...
"And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves.
I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a "community organizer," except that you have actual responsibilities. I might add that in small towns, we don't quite know what to make of a candidate who lavishes praise on working people when they are listening, and then talks about how bitterly they cling to their religion and guns when those people aren't listening."
This race really will be about small-town America vs. the big cities. The amount of community organizers outside the inner cities is very small, and it is a fairly democratic constituency. Palin went after those voters in small towns.
"A writer observed: "We grow good people in our small towns, with honesty, sincerity, and dignity." I know just the kind of people that writer had in mind when he praised Harry Truman.
I grew up with those people.
They are the ones who do some of the hardest work in America ... who grow our food, run our factories, and fight our wars.
They love their country, in good times and bad, and they're always proud of America. I had the privilege of living most of my life in a small town."
We need to remember this is an election between McCain and Obama, not Obama and Palin. So when Palin comes out with a line like "there is much to like and admire about our opponent.
But listening to him speak, it's easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform - not even in the state senate." Democrats cant fall for this trap again.
John Kerry attacked Dick Cheney for much of the 2004 campaign much to the benefit of George Bush who won his second presidency much more easily than he stole his first one.
The line that sold my mom, the ever-undecided voter in Canadian elections, was
"When McCain shuffled back from torturous interrogations, he would turn toward Moe's door and flash a grin and thumbs up" - as if to say, "We're going to pull through this." My fellow Americans, that is the kind of man America needs to see us through these next four years.
For a season, a gifted speaker can inspire with his words.
For a lifetime, John McCain has inspired with his deeds."
She spent her time bringing Obama down to her level of experience, making herself Obama's equal, which greatly helps John McCain. If the Democrats keep arguing she is less experienced than Obama, they will lose. That is a guarantee.
Democrats were whining that Palin's speech was mean. Harry Reid, Senate Majority leader said it was "shrill". I would like to see the last man that Reid has called shrill, and when he realizes he made a sexist remark, I fully expect him to come back with his tail between his legs.
Last night, the test was Sarah Palin's toughness. Judging by the fact that it was the Democrats crying at the end of the night, I'd say she passed the test with flying colours.
For all those who thought Obama would run away with this, some Democrat-supporters like Scott Tribe boasting that the speech was so terrible Obama would now get 350 electoral votes.
I got news for Scott and other Obamacrats. This one is going down to the wire, because the Republicans came to fight last night, and they arent going anywhere.

So Kids' Week is coming up soon (http://www.kidsweek.co.uk), and if you own one or two of the little bundles of joy, you may be tempted to indulge yourselves in a trip to the theatre. But which show to pick? With every grown-up critic telling you that their favourite show is a guaranteed kid pleaser, it's hard to decide. But upon leaving Matilda last Friday with my little brother, he and I agreed that it is still the best kid friendly show to see, even after 5 years of running. And who is better qualified to tell you why than my maggot brother himself! So, without further ado, here's:
10 Questions to a 10-year-old about Matilda The Musical
At the interval:
Favourite character?
Michael, because he's just so random.
Favourite song?
Naughty, because that's what I think in everything.
Tell me something that you want me to include on the blog?
Loved the scene where his hair turns green! How does he do it?!
After the show, at the station:
Out of 10, what would you give Matilda The Musical?
9 and 7/8.
Compared to other plays, the set and the characters are so amazing, they really burst out at you like you weren't expecting it,… turns to me …you bookworm.
The maggot laughs to himself.
New favourite character?
Nope, still Michael.
What made you laugh the most?
When Miss Trunchbull came out at the end.
Do you think other people should come and see the show?
I think from about 8 to 50, people would like it. (Personally, I think you could be 1,000,000 years old and still have a magical evening.)
What's special about the show?
It's really original, it's completely different.
Can you sum it up in one word?
Well, there you have it! We both totally loved the show, and urge you all to head up to London and see it as soon as you can if you haven't already. And if you have… be naughty, go again!

text: "Foreign countries interested in doing business with the United States should ignore President Donald Trump and his administration's more protectionist rhetoric and deal directly with individual states, the chairman of the National Governors Association said Thursday. Speaking at the start of the organization's three-day summer meeting, Democratic Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe said he understands that "there's a lot of consternation about what's coming out of Washington on trade policy." "I say forget all that," McAuliffe told reporters on the sidelines of the meeting. "What we are trying to say to global leaders is, 'Come do business directly with the governors. Come and do business in the states.'" The former businessman's comments come as U.S. states are actively working with their counterparts in Canada and Mexico to present a united front ahead of the upcoming renegotiation of NAFTA, which is expected to begin next month. To that end, Canada and Mexico's own subnational organizations traveled to Rhode Island for the U.S. governors' event, and the three groups are slated to hold a joint session Friday on "collaborating to create tomorrow's global economy." Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will deliver remarks on Friday emphasizing the importance of trade to North America — becoming the first head of state ever to address the governors' summit — and Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland will also travel from Ottawa to attend. The efforts come as the White House is still threatening to pull out of the decades-old trade agreement if it does not get the outcomes it wants in the renegotiation. Asked whether it's sensible for Trudeau to negotiate with states given the level of anti-free trade rhetoric coming out of the White House, Republican Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval answered that "of course it makes sense." "It's a great opportunity, and it's an opportunity that we have just barely touched," Sandoval, NGA's vice chairman, told reporters...That willingness of governors to act on their states' behalf was apparent throughout the first day of the conference. Various state executives touted the benefits of their own incentive programs and discussed the importance of foreign investment to their individual economies, welcoming international capital that Trump's protectionist rhetoric has likely threatened. "In this increasingly competitive economy … we've been looking beyond our borders for additional opportunities," Republican Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said at the start of an international investment-focused event hosted by the China General Chamber of Commerce. "We hope to forge more international partnerships around the world.""

ON THE WAY to Vegas on Interstate 15, in the dusty town of Baker, you stumble across a spotless Starbucks with a convenient drive-through window. It's a pleasant surprise for weary highway travelers, but that one store represents Howard Schultz's consuming worry.
Schultz, the visionary behind Starbucks, is beginning to feel that his $8-billion chain of 13,000 coffee shops may be the victim of its own success. In a Valentine's Day memo to company executives that found its way to a website called Starbucksgossip.com, Schultz angsted about the "commoditization of the Starbucks experience." Schultz is worried that the romance, or at least the aroma, is gone, as efficiency dictates the adoption of automatic espresso machines and flavor-locked packaging. Some stores hardly grind beans anymore.
Shultz has built one of the most admired American brands of the last quarter of a century, and has altered everyday habits as few other entrepreneurs have. His notion that people would eagerly pay several dollars for a cup of coffee and relish spending time in a comfortable "third place," as he likes to call it -- neither home nor work -- also became one of the prime exhibits of the affluence of the last two decades.

We had a lovely week in Vermenton which we used as a stop off on the way to Cannes. The property is incredibly pretty sitting on the bank of a mill pond at the top of which is a lovely pool which we made good use of during our stay. The property is very well equipped and a comfortable relaxing space to be in. The property is a short walk away from the river and the canal, which were kayaking opportunities for our son who even managed to kayak in the mill pond. There is a good walk/cycle path along the canal to Accolay The Atac supermarket is a 15min walk away and supplied everything that you might need. We visited some pretty villages and towns including Chablis and Auxerre, During our visit we saw an abundance of wildlife, Kingfishers, water vole and also what I believed may have been an otter!
We loved our stay at the house, lovely long garden and super pool (after we asked for it to be cleaned). The outside covered eating and bbq area was perfect. This is a "shabby chic" property with an unpredictable oven and NO air conditioning. But still a lovely family home.

text: Hi everyone, I am new here... Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this post. I have two children, daughter (2) and DS/Oliver (4). My son has always been very headstrong, slightly defiant starting at age 2 1/2, but in March of this year- something completely changed...and it was an overnight change from "normal" to "outrageous". Within a month I had enough incident reports to cover my entire bedroom floor and of course Oliver was let go from that school. I ended up moving daughter out of it as well. The next Pre-K, Oliver lasted two hours and was told he could never come back. daughter is currently still at that school and doing good. After taking turns missing days, and requiring assistance from Oliver's Uncle for care purposes during weekdays, I enrolled him into a private church preschool. They probably tried the hardest for him. In the end, his behaviour was endangering others, including teachers. They suggested a therapist, and we began to see her. $$ has been a big issue, so the visits have slowed down. Since we've started there, she has diagnosed him with severe ADHD and ODD. In this time frame, we moved from his Grandfather's house into our own. I saw a huge change just from that (A POSITIVE ONE). My daughter's school director offered to give Oliver another try. So last week was week 1 and it went amazing. This week however, we are back to square one. I decided to try the half day, thinking maybe being in that environment was too much for such an extended period of time. I think today was the final straw for his trial period to attend school again. I had been on a waiting list for the Regional Center, which both his Pediatrician and Therapist didn't think he needed, but neither could provide me a solid solution or facility that would help/care for him. Some of the behaviours that he displays: *Complete regression with using the toilet in the last 4 -5months( he only has accidents of both kinds in his underwear now) *Temper *Irratibility *Aggressive outbursts towards whoever is within arms reach *Total defiance to requests from any adult *Frequent indecisiveness, i.e. I will ask him what shirt he wants to wear and to pick it out he says- I don't care. So I end up picking a shirt that's red. All of a sudden he's screaming and throwing things saying that he wanted a green shirt and then he expects me to put back the red shirt so that he can then get up and get the green shirt. Another side note is that Oliver is extremely intelligent...to the point that sometimes as his mother its a bit scary. I could use some support/ advice because as it stands, I myself am 3000 miles away from my family. We moved here to be closer to Oliver's Father's family. I feel very alone here in Los Angeles and I am becoming fearful for my son's future.

"Water for Elephants" is an ambitiously presented dramatization of the best-selling big-top novel, and, sadly, it amounts to basically a hunk, a trunk and lots of Hollywood gunk as its story of forbidden love unfolds amid too-pretty Depression-era decor.
A story of this sort needs grit, originality, tension and passion. Instead, we get a routine love triangle presented mildly, meekly and with artificial sunshine.
Serving up a big-screen look while unable to match such fullness emotionally, director Francis Lawrence and screenwriter Richard LaGravenese (adapting Sara Gruen's novel), take us back to 1931, days of Louis Armstrong, Prohibition and circuses where animal and human denizens alike are regularly abused.
Robert Pattinson plays Jacob, a tragedy-shattered veterinary student who hops the train that happens to house the Benzini circus. August (Christoph Waltz), the dictatorial ringmaster, gives him an animal-related job.
The triangle forms when Jacob and Marlena (Reese Witherspoon) — August's glamorous equestrian-star wife — spend animal-training time together. Jacob's gentle treatment of the animals, especially Rosie the elephant, contrasts with August's brutal beatings. Marlena is moved.
The two fall in love, August gets suspicious, and you don't need to have read the novel to know that a violent climax is coming.
The film aims to be an old-fashioned period spectacle, and visually it fares decently. Cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto makes the circus look alluring and dazzling. The costumes ooze artistic budget.
The filmmakers also score entertainment points from the circus setting. Scenery-chewing Rosie, in particular, prompts smiles.
But overall, this is a pretty picture rather than a compelling one. The filmmakers seem to want to appeal foremost to fans of the book, and that doesn't generally mean dynamic cinema. They introduce issues such as animal cruelty and alcoholism, but, worried that treating these subjects with due seriousness would hamper box-office numbers, they are presented weakly.
The PG-13 love story, meanwhile, contains little heat or danger. Lawrence, whose credits include "Constantine" and "I Am Legend," delivers more sizzle and urgency in the men's fight scenes than in the romantic material.
Pattinson, whose Jacob remains frustratingly inexpressive (dare we say he looks like the life is sucked out of him?), and Witherspoon, whose Marlena is sympathetic but not tremendously affecting in her unhappiness, don't convince us that their characters share an intense passion.
Waltz's August — suggesting the actor's "Inglourious Basterds" villain with a jot more human dimension — is a caricature, but welcomely too magnetic to be upstaged by the set design.
The cast also includes Hal Holbrook as the elderly Jacob, who recalls his circus life, which transpires in flashback. Pattinson provides the unnecessary narration.
