Although euthanasia is a topic that is sensitive and personal for many people, I would like to debate the position that euthanasia is morally wrong and should not be legal.
R1 acceptance
R2 argument
R3 rebuttal
R4 conclusion
I look forward to a good debate and I hope we both enjoy it.
Another strong argument in favor of euthanasia says that it ends human suffering, giving the person a dignified death. While this is a compelling argument- we all want people to have a dignified and peaceful end- it also neglects the view of the whole person. If we see ourselves or others only as an illness or suffering we fail to see all the goodness, beauty and dignity of every person. Suffering does not diminish our dignity. Every human being is more than just his physical health. We cannot reduce him to his physical condition to make a judgement about his worth. If we make the decision to end our own lives to end the pain we forget that there is more to life than pain. By our example we can build virtue and strong character, but we can also witness to others. I personally have a friend whose father suffered from a very painful cancer with a taxing treatment. His strength in the face of suffering and the sacrifices he made for his family did far more for his family and others than ending his life ever could have. He truly died with dignity because he made the most of his time and did not let his suffering define or limit him. There is value in all our suffering, just as there is value in every life. This does not give us the right to end our lives.
Now, if a person wants to die, what right do we have to deny him? for one thing, even if he asks for it, euthanasia is still the deliberate killing of an innocent person, which is always wrong. In addition, the United States Constitution protects the right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness". It does not protect the right to death. Some people could argue that the right to death could be an extension of the right to life (we have autonomy and should be able to choose our end) or that it falls under the pursuit of happiness. If the act does not harm society how can we claim the right to prohibit the person's free choice? To begin with, I would like to assert that the act does harm society. A good case study is the Netherlands. Since legalizing physician assisted suicide, their numbers of euthanasia cases each year have risen dramatically, which would be expected. But it doesn't stop there. An average of three elderly people per day are subjected to involuntary or nonvoluntary euthanasia in the Netherlands (http://www.patientsrightscouncil.org...). This means that their doctors killed them without their consent or knowledge. While this might seem like an extreme example, it is the effect of the devaluation of human life that accompanies euthanasia. Another negative effect on society is the loss of any life. Society as a whole suffers when any of its members die, but especially when they die because of an attitude of indifference or disrespect toward life, which sometimes accompanies the choice for euthanasia. The choice to end one"s life also affects family. It is difficult to watch a loved one suffer, but knowing that you helped end their life might be more difficult still. The best way to love someone is to support him through his suffering. People may want to end their suffering for the sake of their families, either to end their financial or emotional burdens. I understand that there is a tremendous pressure to make these decisions and that the vast majority of them are made out of love. Here we have to examine what love is and how we can live it out with a suffering family member. Is death truly what is best for the person? I would argue that we can love them best by giving them a good life rather than a good death. When we love someone we want what is best for them, so the question is whether committing suicide (or physician assisted suicide) is what is best for the person. Taking an innocent life, including your own, is a grave evil. From this point we can conclude that killing yourself, which is an evil act, is not what is best for the person.
In addition, most people who attempt suicide (as opposed to euthanasia) are seeking an end to their problems more than actual death. Often ending their lives seems like the only or the best way to end their problems. Studies done by the American Journal of Psychiatry have shown that only 3% of patients who attempted suicide and received treatment committed suicide within the 5 years following treatment. This is strong evidence that death is not the best solution to life's problems, nor the solution that most people really want. If we make euthanasia legal we are providing an easy means to end any pain people are experiencing without encouraging them to seek a solution to their problems.
Since the beginning of recorded history, human beings have feared death. People have had traditions for millennia that are meant to ease the passing from this life. Ancient Greeks placed coins on the eyes of the dead to allow them passage into the underworld. Egyptian royalty were mummified and buried with wealth to ensure a safe afterlife where they would be happy and well provided for. The Japanese emperor Qin Shi Huang Di was buried with thousands of terracotta warriors to accompany him in the afterlife. We have always had traditions to make the idea of death easier to bear. We have rituals and beliefs, and all this is because we have a natural fear of death. This fear speaks to an innate human understanding that life is good and death is unnatural. This is not to say that I believe we should fear death. My point is that we should not urge people from life. Our innate response to death as something undesirable should tell us that life is beautiful and should be valued.
I don"t support prolonging people"s suffering. We do not have to provide extraordinary care, but we cannot deliberately kill anyone. It is moral to let a person die, but not to kill him. Medicine is meant to heal, not to kill.
It is actually dehumanizing to end our lives early. It gives people the "choice" to decide when they die rather than encouraging them to make good choices with how they live. Autonomy means living by our choices, not dying by them. Literally defined, it means "independence or freedom, as of the will or one's actions". The irony here is that if we freely choose to die we are no longer free and no longer making choices.
I am not insensitive to the fact that many people know others who have committed suicide or physician-assisted-suicide. I certainly don't mean to disrespect or insult anybody. I know that euthanasia is a personal and sensitive topic, but it is one that must be addressed. I am opposed to euthanasia out of respect for every human person.
Euthanasia doesn't create any extra deaths, all life ends in death, euthanasia just determines the time and manner of an inevitable death. While life as a whole may be good not every moment of life is good. If a patient and their doctor understand that a condition will make the remainder of the patient's life undesirable to live then euthanasia can serve as a purpose of preventing suffering that would diminish the overall quality of the person's life. By eliminating a period of suffering at the end of a life it can cause the life as a whole to be more valuable than if the last suffering stage were to be lived, much like cutting off a small portion of mold from a wheel of cheese can improve the value of the cheese. If a person makes an informed decision to die peacefully the State shouldn't have any business compelling them to suffer the remainder of life.
There is also an economic benefit of euthanasia. There is a limited supply of resources and money in the world, every use of finite resources must be compared to other uses. Euthanasia can come at a smaller cost than living and can free up resources to put to other uses. The end of life can be very costly and if a patient decides to end their life in order to pass more money to their surviving family or save their family from some expenses no one ought to have a right to force them to live. Euthanasia can save the money of the patient, their family, and society as a whole.
It is cruel to force a person to suffer. Some conditions will cause certain suffering that may only be alleviated with death. Preventing a person's only escape from suffering is dooming a person to a fate that they may wish to avoid. By prohibiting euthanasia the State would be condemning some of the population to terrible suffering. A prohibition on euthanasia is cruel.
Euthanasia is consistent with liberty, freedom, autonomy, and choice. A prohibition on euthanasia restricts a person's choices by removing an option. People ought to be free to do anything except force harm to come to someone else. Informed and consensual euthanasia does not force anyone to be hurt thus shouldn't be illegal. Conversely a prohibition on euthanasia is forcing a person to live, if that life is painful then the prohibition is forcing harm. People should have the choice to live and die how they wish, as long as they are leaving other people free to do the same.
Some people will opt for euthanasia whether it is legal or not. Having a legal option makes it so a person can easily seek out a professional to end their lives in the most humane and dignified way possible. It'd also prevent some very difficult situations for families or doctors that are petitioned by a suffering member to help them end their life; it'd put people at risk of criminal punishment if they compassionately obeyed the persons request to help them die peacefully. Some family members could feel guilt after the fact if they personally administered death to a loved one at their request, but if euthanasia was legal then a doctor could administer the death potentially saving the family member from feelings of guilt. If family still felt guilty they could seek counseling after the fact, but were euthanasia illegal they might not get counseling out of fear of admitting a crime or the stigma attached to their act.
It is true that everyone dies eventually, but if we use that as our argument we can easily use it to justify other actions. It could rationalize dowry deaths in India, genocide, infant abandonment and countless other barbaric practices. Yes, everyone dies. That does not give us the right to dictate when that happens.
Saying we should make euthanasia legal because people would do it anyway is a little like saying we should make drugs legal. People do them anyway. Legalizing drugs would give people a legal and possibly healthier way to do what they want, but the end is the same. Legal or not, euthanasia kills people. Euthanasia is illegal because murder is illegal. I am not comparing people who help a family member seeking physician-assisted-suicide to murderers, but the end result is the same: an innocent person loses his life. The family might feel guilt, but the act is the deliberate killing of someone you love, so guilt might be a natural response. Either way, counseling should certainly be available. It is possible that having a doctor kill your loved one could alleviate the guilt you might feel. I personally would still think about the fact that I consented to and facilitated their death. Technically, the person would be killing himself, taking barbiturates. In that sense, the doctor is not doing anything, but both the doctor and I would have facilitated my loved one's death. Euthanasia is the taking of a person's life and should not be legal.
No one ever said that every moment of life is good. That wouldn't be rational. But the life in itself is good. We should respect people, absolutely, but we need to do that by actually respecting who they are and not wanting to end their time on earth. Real compassion will love people no matter their condition and encourage them that they are loved and precious, regardless of the pain or condition they are in.
Suffering at the end does not change the good of a person's whole life. We all suffer sometimes, albeit some far more than others. That suffering does not make us less than we are. If anything, it provides the best opportunities to grow. We can't live pain-free lives. Suffering is a part of life and one that we have to face.
There is the metaphor of the cheese. This view reduces the view of the person to the value of an object. If part of someone's life is unpleasant we should cut it away. We don't get to cherry-pick the nice moments in life. Life is life, sometimes good and sometimes bad, but always valuable and to be respected.
We should never make people suffer, but we should not kill them either. There are other options. There are choices between the two extremes of physician-assisted suicide and a forced prolonging of painful life. Medicine is meant to heal, and death is not healing. It is true that death will alleviate physical suffering, but the person won't be alive to appreciate that. In ending their suffering, you end everything else about them.
The state has a duty to protect the best interest of the people. Death is never a better scenario than life. Life can be painful and ugly, and sometimes we hate it, but that does not make it bad and it does not make death a better option.
If we support euthanasia it is a little like supporting teen suicide. If you're in a lot of pain and you don't see a point to living, why not end it? The State arguably has no right to prevent your death, but we don't often hear people supporting that teenagers go and kill themselves if they feel like it. That is because all problems are temporary (even, in a sense, terminal illnesses) and human life is more valuable than anything else in the world. Our illnesses don't define us. Even dying and in pain, you are not your suffering. You are a unique human being with dignity that cannot be diminished or taken away. This dignity can, however, be violated. Killing a person violates his dignity. Some people argue that we have no right to force someone to live. The reality is that we have no right to take his life.
Economically, it does make sense that ending a sick person's life saves money. The problem with this money-saving mentality is that we are no longer looking at people as human beings. We start to see them as numbers, costs and liabilities. The overall mentality becomes one of practicality. If the person does not perform a function or directly benefit society, we should get rid of him. As a classic example, getting rid of the sick and elderly was one of the first moves of the Nazi party at the beginning of the Shoah. It can be easy enough for a culture to slip into a mentality of use. This sounds extreme, but is it? When terminal illness is a declaration of a person's diminished value, logically he would receive second-rate health care, if any. Under this mentality, people are objects, not rational and inherently valuable beings. We can't see people this way. The idea that people are measured by what they produce is what leads to eugenic policies that seek to eliminate the weak and less-than-perfect.
Granted, most individuals and families who want euthanasia are not thinking, "Great, I can get rid of my useless relative and save money." Most people have good intentions. Unfortunately, a utilitarian outlook is the natural consequence of a mindset based on euthanasia, one that estimates a person's worth and his quality of life based on accidents of his life, not based on his nature.
On the opposite side of the argument, providing treatment can advance medicine, create more jobs, and preserve the greatest resource we have: people.
But what about people who are suffering or don't want to degenerate? It's a tragedy that people think ending their life is better than living it. Pain does not make us any less human. Often the most inspiring people are ones who overcome the worst suffering (Douglas Mawson, Helen Keller and countless others). People should not have to die to be happy. We all want to be loved. We want to die in the company of people who care about us, happy and with dignity. The people who love us want what is best for us, but death is not better than life.
As far as autonomy, death is a decision that we appear to have control over. The reality is that there is a lot in life we have no control over. We don't choose when we are born or what we look like, what kind of economic standing we are born into or who are family are. We often don't control when we might lose a job or lose a family member. Death is a decision that most people never make. In a sense, the corresponding event to life (or birth) is death. We don't choose it, but we make the most of it. Real autonomy is making the choices we can make and exercising our free will. Autonomy does not extend to decisions that we don't have control over.
We can't and don't give people everything they want. It is not our duty to give people everything they want. Medical professionals don't let patients decide everything about their treatment. Most people are not trained in medicine. There are some decisions they cannot make. Not making euthanasia legal does not take away a choice a person had, it simply prevents him from making a choice he never had to begin with. Medical professionals should not let people choose when they die, just as they would not let a patient diagnose himself or prescribe his own treatment. Medicine is not meant to give people what they want. Like setting a broken leg, sometimes treatment is painful. You wouldn't tell a child, "This is going to hurt for a long time. If you're not okay with the pain, you can choose whether you want treatment or you want to end the pain." No. The doctor would tell the child that the treatment is for his own well being and heal him to the best of his abilities.
The same logic applies for terminal illnesses.
It is not powerful to die. It takes strength to live. To put it bluntly, autonomy in death does not leave the person free and empowered. It leaves him dead.
You argue that deliberately killing an innocent person is morally wrong. I admit that it usually is, but there are some instances where it is not morally wrong. Whether it is wrong or not depends on consent; it is wrong to murder, but not always to kill. It is the violation of a victim's will to live that makes murder wrong, but if a person doesn't will to live then their life isn't being forcibly taken so it is not morally wrong. It is the act of violating a person that makes rape wrong, similarly it is the act of violation that makes murder wrong, but euthanasia is a death without violation.
I agree that we shouldn't define a person by their illness or suffering and we shouldn't make a judgement about their worth. No one has a right to make a decision to euthanize another person, only informed and consensual euthanize ought to be permissible. The Dutch abuse that you mentioned is horrific and involuntary euthanasia should be persecuted. Everyone should learn from their example and safeguards should be developed to prevent it from happening.
Your statistics about suicide are not relevant. Although somewhat related it is still a distinctly different matter than euthanasia. Furthermore people seeking euthanasia would need a doctor's permission and that doctor could refer the patient to help if (s)he thought the patient could live a fulfilling rest of their life with treatment.
You gave multiple historical examples of different societies fearing death. You claim this is an expression of people's innate understanding that life is good and death is bad. Euthanasia doesn't cause any extra deaths, so even if death is bad euthanasia wouldn't be creating any more badness. But I disagree that our fear of death is because of any innate understanding of morality, it is just a primal evolutionary trait; life has to value life or it wouldn't bother to keep living and protect itself and its species.
I do appreciate the irony of using choice or autonomy to chose an action that prevents future choice. I argue that we shouldn't try to maximize the amounts or choices a person makes or the time they stay free, what we should be doing is preventing an outside force from taking away the choice, freedom, or autonomy of a person. It is ironic but not a contradiction.
You said there is no intrinsic dignity. Okay. Then how would you define the value of an individual? Is it how he sees himself? Is it how society values him? Maybe it"s how much he can produce. Is it how physically or mentally capable he is? If so, does that mean that we can determine a person"s worth to be gone once those faculties are gone? If a fulfilling life is determined by a doctor, as you mentioned, then maybe worth is determined by the doctor. Or is it determined by the family paying the medical bills or the state providing insurance? The issue with no subjective dignity is that is can be twisted and people can be disposed of or written off with no real basis and no real consideration for their personhood.
Many people see more than one kind of dignity. One kind of dignity is seen as the accompaniment to life. As long as there is life, there is dignity (physical life, not perceived life). Some dignity seems to be conferred on people (honors awarded, respect given) and in that sense, dignity is subjective. It is something conferred on somebody by society or another individual. So maybe dignity is too vague. There is something that is the same for every human being. We have physical senses, but beyond that we have the ability to think and reason, to abstract concepts and put them in context of the world we live in. We have the ability to choose, a power that no other creature has. If we all share those things then we must also share the value that goes along with those things. If they are a part of us, all of us, then we can"t determine one person to have lost that value when he still has his nature but determine another to still have value because he also has his nature. The point is that there is something in every human being that no one and no circumstances can take away. We can only take away from someone what we have given him. We did not give him his worth, we cannot take it away and so we have no right to treat him differently in his new circumstances.
Christians believe that man has an inherent dignity because he is made in the image of God. Regardless of whether you agree, a similar argument can be used. We are all made (not necessarily by God) in the image of something (even if that something is Plato"s ideal human being). We all share traits that make us human. Put simply, we all share human nature and our nature as human beings is what makes us valuable. Therefore, anyone that has human nature shares that dignity with every other human being. If we measure worth -and I mean inherent worth, not monetary worth to society- by this system, then anyone who is human is valuable and his life is precious.
Responsibly taking care of life is something that follows from our intellect. We know that life is good, so we should respect it and protect it. You mentioned something interesting- that life is inclined to protect life. I completely agree, and I think that"s actually a strong argument against euthanasia. We should protect life, not take it.
In order to mean anything, dignity (or value or worth, however you want to define it) has to have an objective standard by which to judge it. There is no objective standard that can be applied to subjective attributes. We can't have a system that claims to be just or
If dignity is subjective then I can give it to or take it from whomever I want. If dignity is decided only by the individual then it has no meaning. I can think I"m the greatest person on earth and live without regard for other people, but that doesn"t make me more valuable than anybody else.
As you mentioned, sometimes a person can no longer add to the joy of the world " so the world should get rid of him? Individuals are not meant to bring pleasure to society. People are not there for us to use as we would use money or material resources. The problem with the economics argument is exactly that- maximizing a person"s worth. We are not supposed to maximize people"s usefulness. We are supposed to love them, not use them. We are supposed to see them as valuable, not as discardable tools with a peak profit and an expiration date. One of the issues with making euthanasia legal is that people will be far more inclined to end their lives. They might feel a financial burden to help their family and pass on money. They might be emotionally burdened with the knowledge that their family is suffering with them. Their doctors might offer euthanasia as a way to escape a painful and undignified end. With that pressure, even though euthanasia would be voluntary, it might be more than a person"s own desire influencing him to make that decision.
It can be hard to see the value of life when we suffer, but that doesn"t mean there is no value anymore. It"s better for people to be remembered how they were than to be killed for how they might be. There are innumerable cases of people who suffered heroically and saw equal value to their lives with illness (sometimes even greater value). There are also people who see suffering as the end to their happiness, dignity and life. Both cannot be true. Life is not purely what we determine it to be. Something has to be objective. This doesn"t mean that people can"t see the world in different ways or that everything about suffering has to be seen as good, but it does mean that some things are not a matter of debate. Life is life. There are different qualities of life, but they do not change the value of the person. If they did, an unwanted child born to a poor family in rural China would have less dignity than a loved child born to wealthy parents in England. We can"t stop seeing human beings as human beings.
We need to respect every person, no matter his circumstances. Killing him does not respect him, but loving and caring for him does. Even if someone wants to die, nobody has any business taking a human life, with consent or without. We aren"t taking a person"s free will, even if it is seen as a denial of his choice. We can"t make decisions about some things, like when we are born and when we die. Those things aren"t in our control. But how we live is. Just because we are physically capable of something doesn"t necessarily mean we should do it.
We don"t have a right to die, we have a right to live. Death is, in a sense, a forfeiture of all rights. Rights correspond to duties. Therefore, if a person has the right to die, I have the duty to kill him if he requests it. Rights are also directed toward the good of a person. Death is never in the best interest of a person. It is never better than life. We can and should find meaning in suffering and make the most of our lives.
We need to respect people for the intrinsic dignity that accompanies human nature. This means loving and caring for them despite illness. Care involves making a person better, not killing him. Again, this doesn"t mean we have to keep people alive against their will. It simply means we can"t kill them. Removing one option does not take away a person"s autonomy. The person still has choices and a free will. He can act on his own choices. People are beautiful and life is a gift (regardless of whether you believe in a god). We need to respect people"s life rather than seeing suffering as the end of goodness. We need to love people, not encourage them to die. Euthanasia, the taking of a human being"s life, violates the dignity that accompanies human nature. Because of this, it is morally wrong and should not be legal.
Thank you for a great debate. I enjoyed seeing your side of the issue.
The prohibition of euthanasia is actually a forcible violation of liberty and is immoral. It is a restriction of freedom, it removes a choice. It is the State telling a person and that they aren't allowed to make a decision regarding their own body and life. Banning euthanasia implies that a person doesn't own themselves and are instead owned by society or the state; it is a violation of liberty, choice, body, and life. Not only is euthanasia not morally wrong, prohibiting it is wrong.
Euthanasia can prevent suffering. A person may decide that a condition will create too much pain or negatively impact some other part of their life too much for their life to be worth living anymore. By having an option of euthanasia they may choose to prevent that last part of their life. Their life as a whole could be better off even if it is ended early. Instead of the end of their life being horrible and degrading the overall quality of their whole life euthanasia can give a person a way to avoid the suffering at the end and preserve the quality of their life until the end. Prohibiting euthanasia is dooming some people to horrible suffering that they wish to avoid. No one should decide that someone else's life is worth living, but nor should anyone force someone to keep living; consensual euthanasia isn't deciding for someone else or forcing them to do anything, it is just an option that they may freely choose if they determine it to be their best choice.
There are additional negative outcomes that can arise when people choose euthanasia in violation of a prohibition. I'm not arguing that it ought to be legal because people will do it anyway, I'm arguing that an additional reason why it should be legal is that when people do it illegally there are more negative things that come from it than if it were done legally; this is a similar to the argument that women would suffer additional risks of injury and infection from an illegal abortion than a legal abortion. One negative that accompanies only illegal instances of euthanasia is the quality of the death, since it would be a black market operation there wouldn't be the same medical standards to ensure the most painless death. Doctors that have worked hard for their licences wouldn't be likely to risk their livelihoods by performing an illegal procedure so people may choose to instead end their own life themselves or seek out a criminal to help them. If a family member chose to help and felt guilty afterwards they might not get counseling to help because they'd be afraid of persecution or negative stigma. This is similar to an argument to legalize drugs and if I was debating that I'd use the same sort of argument.
I want to respect your conclusion as your summary and your last word in support of you case, however since you asked a couple direct questions of me in your conclusion (about how a person gets their value and if society can discard them if they are not valuable) I will just very briefly answer them. A person's worth is determined by how that person and other people value them. We should not get rid of them if society deems them no longer valuable, a person owns themselves and euthanasia should be their own choice. A person's value is determined by society and themselves, but a person's choice is only their own.
Thank you for this debate. It was a pleasure to debate you and although I didn't change my mind of the subject, I have acquired a greater understanding of and appreciation for your side. This is only my third debate on the site, but this has been my favorite by far, thanks for the experience and best of luck in the voting phase!

Tips To Keep Your Home Safe While You're Away
Don't let the anticipation of a well-deserved vacation blind you to the risks of leaving your home unprotected. Go ahead and plan your beach, camping or city shopping holiday, but take precautions before you leave. We subscribe to the "better safe than sorry" philosophy, so review your home safety checklist before you head out. A little extra vigilance will help keep your property and belongings safer while you're gone — and will keep you from obsessing about security once you're on the road to fun and adventure.
Here are some tips to keep your home safe while you're away:
Ask A Friend To Help.
The best way to make your house is safe while you're gone is to have someone you trust still living in it or keeping an eye on it.
Don't Tip Off Criminals on the Web.
In a world where it seems everyone is blabbing about their business on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, it's important to stop and think: Who exactly is reading this stuff?
Hold Your Mail.
When you're leaving for more than a couple of days, call your local post office to stop mail delivery until you get back. They can hold mail from three to 30 days.
Curtains Closed — or Open?
Leave your curtains exactly as you usually keep them when you're home, since noticeable changes could hint that you're not around anymore.
Make Your Home Look Lived In.
To help create the illusion that the residence is still occupied, invest in timers that turn on the interior lights for a few hours every evening.
Pull the Plug.
Unplug your television, computer, toaster oven and other appliances to protect them from power surges. Do this to save power as well.
Lock Up.
This seems so obvious, but hey, it's easy to forget.
Remove Your Spare Key.
That plastic rock isn't fooling anyone.

High-yield bond investor focus is often on emerging markets. But on "Street Signs," Pioneer Investments' Andy Feltus, portfolio manager of the $2 billion Pioneer Global High Yield Fund, told CNBC's Erin Burnett that there is more value in the U.S.
"Five years ago, we agreed that you should have been in emerging markets, but now we see the best values in the United States. You can get better yields in the U.S. for less risk, and that seems to be the obvious trade to me," said Feltus. While he says the spreads are similar in the U.S. and Europe, he believes Europe is more leveraged.
Feltus likes Georgia Gulf, whose bonds trade below par and offer yield near 10%. He advises investors to look for low leverage and good yields.

Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:

Holden has recalled its JG Cruze small car due to a potential risk of engine stalling.
The carmaker has identified a fault with the wiring loom for the Engine Control Module (ECM), which may be subject to corrosion over an extended period of time.
If the wires become corroded and cease to operate, the engine may stall unexpectedly while stationary or driving at low speed. This could prove a hazard to the vehicle occupants and other road users.
There have been no reports of any incidents resulting from this problem in Australia to date.
A total of 10,214 vehicles are affected in Australia from the 2010 model-year, and each is fitted with the 2.0 litre four-cylinder diesel engine.
Production dates for the affected vehicles range from February 2009 to February 2011.
The recall process will involve "removal of the fretting corrosion potential within the specific connector interface", according to Holden.
Last year, Holden recalled its JG and JH Cruze sedan and hatch range, fitted with manual transmissions and self-adjusting park brake systems due to a potential problem with the park brake.
Holden will attempt to contact affected owners shortly, but any owner wishing to learn more about the latest round of recalls should contact their local dealer.

This is not for the weakhearted.
In the new film "Purge," Americans are given 12 hours per year where all crime is legal and all emergency services are put on hold. Basically, it's anarchy, but crime falls and so does unemployment.
Naturally, a lot goes wrong, but the trailer is pretty interesting.
Take a look, but be warned: Trailer for this R-rated film is intense and does contain disturbing content.

Bryson Kemp '16 Looks Back on a Week in Hollywood
The sophomore music major reflects on his time in Hollywood as one of the winners of Team Oscar.
By: Leah Lewin '14 Tuesday, April 22, 2014 01:05 PM
Bryson Kemp's spring break culminated in one of the most memorable days of his life. As actor Channing Tatum announced his name to 43 million viewers, the sophomore stood on stage at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, smiling in front of hundreds of his professional idols. Bryson was one of six students invited to attend the 86th Academy Awards ceremony after spending a week learning about the filmmaking industry in Hollywood.
Bryson, a music major at Muhlenberg, was one of the thousands of college students who submitted a YouTube video as his official application for Team Oscar, a program formed by the Academy that allows six college students access to a behind-the-scenes week in Hollywood and an invitation to attend the Academy Awards. Bryson's mother encouraged him to apply after learning of the opportunity during Channing Tatum's appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Bryson and his three older sisters have all played musical instruments from a young age. "I guess I've always had a passion for music," says Bryson. "Piano wasn't the first instrument I played, but it's my favorite." Bryson's parents helped instilled a love for cinema in their children, and his desire to combine two passions -- music and movies -- into one - scoring films - was born. In his video submission, "John Williams is my Idol," Bryson explains that scoring movies makes it possible for them to come alive.
"Music makes the movie, and I'm going to make the music," he said, and two months later, he was on a plane to Hollywood.
Before the Academy Award ceremonies, Bryson and his fellow contestant winners had a week full of studio tours and meet-and-greets with filmmakers. The week, he explains, was a whirlwind of advice and inspiration. "Everyone was so passionate about what they do," Bryson says. "It really makes you want to go into the movie industry." Bryson recalls one particularly inspirational moment with director Gary Shore, who told him entering the film industry "is a marathon, not a sprint." Bryson cherished the time he spent with his fellow winners. "They're really talented," he reflected. "We're hoping to have a reunion sometime, and it would be awesome to collaborate with them in the future."
One of the most memorable experiences for Bryson during his week in Hollywood was attending the inaugural Oscar Concert. "All of the composers who were nominated got to orchestrate ten minutes of their song before they were interviewed on stage" Bryson explained. "It was just a crazy experience; I feel so lucky."
After two days of twelve-hour rehearsals, the big day finally arrived. Bryson and his new friends were excited about handing the eight-pound statuettes to the celebrity presenters during the awards show. Bryson was in charge of the statuettes for the categories of Best Documentary, Best Animated Feature Film, Sound Editing and Best Actress. The experience left him feeling star struck with many of the individuals he met, including Angelina Jolie.
So, what was Bryson's secret for getting chosen as a member of Team Oscar? "Show a lot of passion in your one-minute video," Bryson shares. "They want to see a video that stands out." Hopefully, Bryson will be on the same stage again in the future; perhaps at that time, the presenters will be handing awards to him.

Before & After: Kata's Out of Control Couch Redo
We've all been there: you start a project when it suddenly spirals into much more work than expected. Kata knows this pain first-hand. This Neo-Baroque couch seemed to be in good shape — she just wanted to change the fabric — but as she took it apart, she saw she was in for a bigger job.
Wowee. That looks like so much work, but boy was it worth it.
Kata says, "I had to go down to the frame and rebuild the couch with brand new materials — new springs, new foam, new tapestry."
Wanna take on your own project? Kata made a detailed tutorial. It's in Hungarian but the photos themselves are enough to help you through some major upholstery challenges.
See all the photos and details on her blog Kicsihaz.
Thank you Kata!

Channing Tatum is to become a father for the first time.
The Magic Mike star has been married to Step Up co-star Jenna Dewan-Tatum since 2009.
Now, People reports that the couple are expecting their first child in 2013 - a year that Tatum has already claimed he will be using to "take a break" from acting.
The star previously said of his desire to start a family: "The first number that pops into my head is three, but I just want one to be healthy and then we'll see where we go after that."
The 32-year-old was named the Sexiest Man Alive earlier this year, an honour he informed his wife about while washing the couple's dogs.
The honour was met with approval by former Sexiest Men Alive Bradley Cooper and Ben Affleck, who both called the star "very sexy".
Watch a clip of Channing Tatum in Magic Mike below:

As part of a blog exchange program with horror writer and fellow Stranger Kit Tinsley, I interviewed Kit this week about his writing and his involvement in Shadows of a Stranger. The talented and versatile Kit has just released his third novel, The Wilds, and he explains below how it was based on a film project that we'd both worked on before commencing on Shadows.
We've worked together on a number of film projects before over the years. Can you tell how you got into filmmaking in the first place?
Well as long as I can remember I've wanted to be involved in film. Since childhood, films have been my passion. I think for a few years I wanted to become an actor, then I wanted to be a writer / director.
What was your involvement in Shadows of a Stranger?
My official title on the film was Associate Producer, but the job entailed some admin, some health and safety, and generally helping out where I could. The nature of the film meant it was all hands on deck where needed. I also acted in the film, playing 3 separate characters, and contributed to the soundtrack.
|Kit working the sound desk in 'Billywood Studio' whilst filming Shadows.
Generally speaking, how do you think Shadows of a Stranger is going to turn out?
I am really excited to see how it turns out, after all the hard work everyone put in, and the few examples of the visual effects I've seen I'm really looking forward to it. I think it's going to be a hit, a thinking-man's thriller.
I've just started reading your latest book, The Wilds, and already I've noticed many similarities to a script I read of yours. Can you tell me why you decided to turn this script into a novel?
Well yes, the novel is based on the script I wrote for the film Red Route. Which we were both involved in making, yet never saw the light of day. Without naming names, I was unhappy with the way my script was changed and diluted by the director. I felt there was a good horror story there, but he took all of that out. So I decided to revisit the story in novel form.
|Me and Kit on the film set for the project that later became The Wilds.
Not that I want you to give too much away before I've finished reading the book, but how have you found the writing process of the novel compared with the script? Has much changed with the storylines / characters?
The novel follows the final draft I wrote of the screenplay, but obviously there are some deviations from it. There are a few extra characters in the novel. The main characters haven't changed all that much, their back stories and motivations are pretty much the same.
You've published 3 books now I believe, Beneath, Dark County, and The Wilds. Do you have a favourite?
Ooh now that is a tough question. I am very proud of all three, but I suppose the one that is the most special to me is Beneath, because it was the first. The sense of achievement on completing your first novel can never be beaten.
I've noticed you've been a guest at a few horror / scifi conventions recently. Are we going to see you popping up anywhere else in the future?
Yes I have been. It's great to get out there and meet people. Talk about my work, sign books and make new friends. Next month I will be doing the 'Geeks' event in Scunthorpe and in October I am attending SCARdiff, a large horror convention in Wales.
What other writing and filmmaking projects are you working on at the moment?
I have recently completed another novel, which I'm in the editing phase of now, and started writing a new novella. Film wise I have a script for a film it am very keen to direct. So maybe next year that will go ahead, if I can get some financial backing.
What advice would you give to up and coming filmmakers and writers based on what you've experienced?
Don't give up, and don't let anyone tell you you can't do it. Between us we have proved that with determination you can make a film or publish a book. It's hard work, but it can be done.
In addition to being a filmmaker and writer, you're also a musician. Are you still performing with the Dog Goblins and do you have any more material out soon?
Dog Goblins have been taking a little break recently, due to everyone having other commitments, but we will be back soon hopefully with some new material if I can find time and inspiration to write songs.
BONUS QUESTION: If you were offered 50 grand to front a tribute band for a one off gig, which one of these tribute acts would you pick to sing for: Simply Red, Roxette, The Lighthouse Family, or Michael Bolton?
Another tough one. My hatred of Mick Hucknall rules out Simply Red, so I will go for Roxette as they had some great songs and I think I would suit spiky blonde hair and the slinky dress.
Thanks for Kit for taking some time out for this interview. Check out Kit's website where you will find my interview with him where I talk about Shadows of a Stranger.

Basketball Games Websites – The Very Best Basketball Suggestions You Will Read
Basketball is loved by millions of people across the globe. It may not have the exposure that other sports like soccer have achieved, but it still a fan favorite in many households. If you have ever watched a basketball game with the family and wished that you were able to play as well as the pros, you should continue reading.
When dribbling, make sure you hold your head high and look straight ahead. Anyone who watching the ball while they dribble surely needs to spend more time in the gym practicing. Carry your basketball everywhere. Dribble as you walk to the market. Maintaining unbroken visual contact with the ball makes it difficult to be aware of your surroundings.
When rebounding, start moving as soon as the shooter uncoils. When you react and move quicker, you better anticipate their moves and get more rebounds. When they start to uncoil, start contact by blocking them out. Make sure to do the same thing on offense since the shooter will most likely try to uncoil after the rebound. This can boost your number of rebounds.
If you are in a good position to receive a pass, put your hand up in the air so the current dribbler can see you. The basketball court is surprisingly small when you're actually on it. And when you're playing in a game filled with ten people, there's a lot of chaos going on in that small space. Sometimes that hand is necessary so that the dribbler sees the option.
Now is the time to get the ball and hit the courts. Remember the ideas that you have read here and apply them during the game. Impress your friends and take the lead with each play that you make. You no longer have to be the last guy picked for the teams.

What caused my cat to suddenly collapse and die?

Expires: 21 Feb 2005 16:31 PST
Question ID: 461702
Yesterday, my cat suddenly collapsed and died. I am guessing that he died of a heart attack. Speculate on possible causes. I did not have him as a kitten; I took him in as a stray. His exact age is not known. Possibly eight to ten years of age. He was probably overweight at 14 pounds. The day before he ate some canned food and played with his toys. He and another cat got in bed and curled up together like hand and glove -- something he had not done in a long time. When I got up, he was already up and around. So nothing out of the ordinary. He always had watery eyes and some discharge around his eyes -- so I knew he was probably a carrier of some URI (upper respiratory infection). http://www.cah.com/dr_library/respiratorycats.html I have ten or twelve cats -- two or three had "colds" but he did was not sneezing or gagging like the others, so I didn't think he had the "cold". In thinking back, his eyes seemed a little red. So I now think he may have had conjunctivitis. http://cats.about.com/cs/healthissues/a/uris_in_cats.htm He was walking across the room when he cried out, collapsed and was not moving. If he did not die immediately, then it was quick. I am guessing he had one or more URI's; his immunodeficiency system was compromised; and his heart gave out. What caused my cat to die so suddenly with no signs of serious symtoms? Thank you kindly. Cynthia Diane

Condolences on your loss, Cynthia. This web page has a good summary by Dr Michael Richards, DVM, of the most common causes of sudden death in cats. You might want to read the entire summary on this web page. http://www.vetinfo4cats.com/csuddeath.html "The most common ones are probably cardiomyopathy and heartworm disease." Cardiomyopathy, according to the Dictionary.com web site, means "A disease or disorder of the heart muscle, especially of unknown or obscure cause." http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=cardiomyopathy Hope this helps. Looking Forward, denco-ga - Google Answers Researcher
Re: What caused my cat to suddenly collapse and die?
From: pinkfreud-ga on 23 Jan 2005 11:46 PST
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. As an individual who is owned by several cats, I understand how it feels to lose a fur person. There are many, many possibilities, and only an autopsy is likely to provide an authoritative answer. Cats, like humans, are sometimes taken by sudden events such as strokes and heart attacks, and there aren't always symptoms in advance. Had your cat ever been tested for the feline infectious leukemia virus (FeLV)? Cats can die quite quickly from this condition, or they can decline slowly over a period of many years.

How To Create An Application On IIS7 For My ASP.NET Project Using Microsoft Visual Studio.
This article describes how to publish your application with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 to your Web site on Windows 2008\IIS7 platform.
1. As FrontPage extensions are not supported on Intermedia Windows 2008 Web hosting platfrom, the first step is to create a WebDAV connection to your Web site. The mapped network drive will be used later to publish your application.
2. In Visual Studio select "File > New Web Site..." from the menu to create new project for your Web site.
3. When a dialog box opens select "ASP.NET Web Site" in the "Templates" section, from the "Language" drop-down you can select "Visual C#" (as in our example). In the "Location" please set "File System" and when prompted choose the previously created mapped network drive.
If you need to create your application below the application root, you should add it`s Physical Path following the name of the network drive into the "Location" field (you can check what is the Physical Path of your application on the "HostPilot > Web/FTP Server > Applications/Virtual Directories" page).
4. After your application is created and ready to be published you need to use "Build > Build Web Site" option from the Visual Studio menu.
Note: In the current connection method it is not possible to manage your application settings from the Visual Studio interface and you should use your HostPilot instead ("Web/FTP Server > Applications/Virtual Directories" and "Web/FTP Server > Application Pools" pages).

Armenia > Law firm and leading lawyer rankings
Legal market overview
Even though inbound investment into the mining sector is still the major source of revenue in Armenia, foreign investors have recently shown increased interest in the renewable energy industry. US-based investors largely drive solar and wind energy projects, which are a promising source of work for local law firms, especially as the construction and agriculture sectors have suffered significant setbacks due to reduced public investment and poor weather conditions. Nevertheless, mid-2017 saw a strong GDP growth and a substantial increase in services, industrial production and exports, which led the Armenian government to prepare $500m of Eurobonds to be issued in either 2019 or 2020.
Armenia's borders with Turkey and Azerbaijan have been closed since 1991 and 1993 respectively, leaving only Iran and Georgia as available land trade routes. This geographic isolation means Armenia is particularly susceptible to economic changes in Russia, its main trading partner. As the Russian economy is showing signs of increased activity, this is expected to have a positive impact on Armenia over the next couple of years.
Regulatory requirements, due diligence, compliance and competition law are gaining increased prominence in the market, generating a stream of work for Armenian firms. Another hot topic for companies and law firms alike is the new tax code, which will be enacted in January 2018.
AM Law Firm, led by Grigor Minasyan, is predominantly known for its expertise in contentious and non-contentious matters concerning tax, employment and debt collection. Recent highlights include advising US government agency Peace Corps on Armenian criminal law. With the promotion of criminal law expert Levon Sahakyan in October 2016 and Narine Sargsyan in June 2017, the team now consists of six partners.
The five-partner team at Concern Dialog law firm stands out for its 'extremely high levels of engagement' with clients and 'proactive approach' and is particularly active in the collection of non-performing loans and debts. The firm is also experienced in matters concerning insolvency, litigation and arbitration. In one recent highlight, the team acted for a major mining company in a tax-related dispute. Arbitrator Aram Orbelyan is noted for his 'excellent communication and negotiation skills'; tax expert Roustam Badasyan and corporate lawyer Narine Beglaryan recently made partner.
K&P Law Firm is experienced in advising clients on matters related to real estate, finance, IT and tax law, and stands out for its ability to 'address complex legal issues in a new and developing regulatory environment with great flexibility'. In a recent highlight, the team advised the Armenian IT company Zangi on intellectual property matters. The firm has a track record assisting international companies, such as Access Consultants and ibis Hotels, with their market entry into Armenia and investment-related issues. Vardan Stepanyan is recommended for his extensive knowledge 'over the full spectrum of financial services' and counsel Anna Hakobyan provides 'well-grounded legal advice on compliance, corporate and regulatory matters'. Tatul Khudatyan is experienced in real estate and banking transactions.
At Legelata Law firm, tax expert Arman Poghosyan was made managing partner in August 2017, following the departure of previous managing partner Levon Gevorgyan to EY Law in November 2016. Other key names include Gor Margaryan, who has a core focus on banking and finance-related matters, and Hovhannes Harutyunyan, who handles contentious matters. Clients include well-known multinational companies, such as ABB and Huawei.
Ameria Legal and Tax Advisors is led by David Sargsyan, who is known for his expertise in corporate and tax-related matters. The team advises clients from various sectors, including mining, banking, IT and real estate. Counsel Karen Babalyan is experienced in banking and finance, insurance, regulatory issues and corporate law.
Arlex International Ltd is known for its experience handling international disputes and complex cross-border transactions across a wide variety of sectors, including telecoms, real estate, transport and media. The team, led by Thomas Samuelian, advises on corporate matters, due diligence exercises, regulatory compliance, tax and intellectual property law matters.
'Professional and client-orientated' Hakob Tadevosyan leads the three-strong team at Grant Thornton Legal and Tax LLC, which is particularly experienced in advising foreign investors and financial institutions on matters regarding market entry, cross-border transactions and disputes. Tadevosyan recently assisted F. Hoffmann-La Roche with the closure of its office in Armenia. Aram Poghosyan is another key figure. Davit Harutyunyan left the firm in 2017.
Hovhannisyan & partners LLC provides 'practical advice and has a strong business sense'; it has extensive experience in corporate, compliance, competition, insolvency and tax matters. Managing partner Hayk Hovhannisyan is a member of the ICC Court of Arbitration and has a strong track record representing clients in litigation and arbitral proceedings with cross-border elements.
Investment Law Group LLC is led by Artashes Kakoyan, who is widely respected for his experience in the mining sector.

MEET's organized staff takes you to the majestic Ethiopian natural beauties and wonders, the range of fauna and flora, the wildly galloping wild animals, the multifarious cultural colors and the glorious history of the Ethiopian people, their wisdom tolerance and hospitality that made Ethiopia famous worldwide.
MEET is founded and managed by an Ethiopian professional tour operator / Guide, Muluken Girma (Mule) whose 7 years experience in plotting itineraries and executing them in guiding groups of tourists from the different corners of the globe (USA, Britain, Canada, South Africa, Belgium, Norway, Holland, Australia, Hungary, Turkey) helped him to know heartily what clients need exactly and to deliver them satisfactorily. Among a number of trips he run flawlessly, the following are a few to mention – a trip to the film crew of Goge Africa from Nigeria, a trip to the film crew of Panopticon TV from Norway, a trip to the 'Word Travels' film crew from Canada and most importantly, he guided Andrew Zimmer of Bizarre Foods from the Travel Channel, successfully and satisfactorily.
Muluken's principle of customer handling goes like: -
" I believe adults are like big children who have strong needs and don't know how to MEET their needs best, and who deserve a fatherly follow up to yield marvelous experience. And, we are here for you. Every opportunity begins with connection. Drop us your message and MEET your expectation with perfect reality."
We selected a typically Ethiopian coffee pot for our logo because coffee has a significant economical & social importance for the people Ethiopia.

But How Can We Keep Our Teens SAFE?
Mike Males, Youth Today, February 2006
Sure, parents think their children are safe in one of our most hallowed institutions--until they discover its dark side: violence, sexual predators, even murder.
Yes, I'm talking about church. In recent years, gun massacres in churches, religious schools, and even Bible study groups have left 31 dead, 15 of them teens. Documented sexual abuses of youths by clergy now reach the thousands.
Should parents protect kids from the dangers of church by keeping them home? No! The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect reports that in 2003, parents murdered 1,200 children and teens, violently and sexually abused 200,000, and brutally traumatized 35,000 more.
With predators and the worst cruelties lurking in our largest institutions, families and churches, where can teens safely interact? Why, on the Internet, preferably alone and unmonitored. Statistically, adults who supervise teens are more likely to abuse them than anyone they meet online.
Consider the sterling record of personalized websites such as MySpace.com, whose 46 million registered users (the vast majority young) share billions of unsupervised interactions daily with no deaths and few dangers. Teens have forged relatively safe environments where most pursue--not the porn, cruelties, seducings, and preyings fevered adults imagine (or fantasize)--but quotidian mundanities.
Naturally, wherever youths gather, herds of hysterical "experts" and reporters follow, relentlessly vilifying teens' spaces as feeding grounds for psychopaths and bullies. Typical of the cloned media barrage was Knight Ridder News Service's Dec. 26 story painting MySpace as a pornographic, predator-infested jungle of meanness and depravity.
Evidence? Reporter Oliver Prichard blames the website for one case of sexual molestation (by a 37 year-old stalker), four mean pranks (three reported thirdhand), and a couple of pubescent sites he found titillating. Searching other stories, I find a few more alleged incivilities and another molestation (by a 35 year-old man).
True, there's more evil online than that, just as there's more church and family abuses than reported. Yet, while thousands of real abuses of teens are confirmed in adult-run institutions every year, strikingly few can be shown to result from teen-dominated Internet exchanges.
What's shocking is how safe youths, left to themselves, are online. My local news stations incessantly clarion the dangers of the Internet--then present no real instances beyond routine gossip.
The Ad Council and other panickers warn: "One in five kids are [sic] sexually solicited online." (That's all? I get a dozen generic propositions every day.) Teens can handle it. In giant Los Angeles County, the Southern California High Tech Task Force reports zero cases of criminal behavior connected to MySpace.
I've surveyed hundreds of my students, net veterans all, without unearthing significant online dangers other than the usual annoyances encountered offline. "I met more weirdoes in Boy Scouts," one wrote.
Of course, the mass media freakout over imaginary Internet perils has nothing to do with young people's safety. It's about giving self-interested grownups yet another forum to boost books and programs, peddle censorware, grab grant funding, and flatter themselves by demeaning adolescents.
Prichard's article features "experts" and the reporter stereotyping youths as cruel, brazenly seductive, and impulsive. One name-caller, Campus Outreach Services director Katie Koestner, brands youths as "mean" and "demonic." It's easy to see where teenage bullies get their adult role models.
But Americans' rampant fear of cyberyouth is worse than just cheap profiteering and press sensationalism. There's something truly sinister about a society in which the slightest effort by adolescents to establish lives of their own immediately draws a howling mob of fear-mongering demagogues. Especially when that society is so indifferent to real dangers young people face, such as poverty and family abuses.
I could easily document more violent teen deaths in one impoverished Los Angeles zipcode (say, 90044) in five months--and more in American families in five days--than could be blamed on MySpace interactions nationwide in five years.
What accounts for adults' mindless paranoia over virtual nothings accompanying their callous disregard of real menaces? Brain atrophy, I'm guessing. The June 2004 Nature reports disturbing findings that adult brains suffer significant deteriorations in memory and learning genes. Adult thinking, absent strong self awareness and discipline, lacks the flexibility to rationally assess unfamiliar developments and reflexively fears anything new. Teens and the Internet are newness squared.
Well, buck up, grownups. We grayhairs can handle new things, too. Liberate your homes from the wimpy Net Nannies, spy-on-your-kid schemes, and "experts'" paranoid ravings. Give your teens the space to grow up. Anything to improve the odds that they'll turn out better than us.

Personalizing a Celebration
The purpose of a funeral is to provide a way of commemorating a life and bringing together friends and family. We aim for our celebrations to be a time to share memories and remember your loved one through music, stories, and capturing the nature of their spirit.
The most important thing to keep in mind when creating a celebration is that it should be reflective of your loved one. While religious elements may play a part, it should also include stories about the person's life that help everyone recapture and revisit their own memories. Sometimes this is best accomplished by having friends or family members share their reflections as part of the service. Some people personalize the service with special music (which may be religious or non-religious). Others bring in pictures to have at the service. Sometimes favorite things that belonged to the deceased are integrated into the ceremony such as wood carvings, golf clubs or even a motorcycle.
The goal is to give a true sense of who this person was. There is nothing wrong with telling funny stories about the person who died: a funeral recognizes the sad event of a death, but can include humor. Unique celebrations include a patio tailgate party where everyone wears their loved one's favorite team jersey, decorating to display their passion project, offering unique food, signature cocktail or wine from their personal cellar, or bringing in your loved one's private art collection to be on display.
We can create personalized print materials for your loved one.

text: I was aroung a few years ago, things got better but now we have hit teenagehood! my son is 15 now taller than I am, I still outweigh him. He is adhd and odd his doctor is finally figuring out he is probably aspergers. He is refusing medications. refusing to go see his psychiatrist. Now he is refusing to do schoolwork We homeschool through ecot. I literally cannot get him to do anything I feel like a hostage in my own home. All he wants to do is play computer games. I even bought another computer for me to use. Everything is a fight. He got soo mad one day ( I was trying to get him to do schoolwork) he hit the wall put an indent in it and told me that it could have been my head. Its not only the temper that gets to me its the impulsivity, one day he came up behind me while I was on the computer, he wasn't mad he seemed playful, I thought he was going to hug me so my guard was down, he put me in a chokehold I literally thought I was going to die I felt my throat collapse Ihad a sore neck and was hoarse for at least2 weeks over that one!! He said he didn't know that you could kill someone that way!!!! Come on he's 15!!!!! His standard reply to everything is I don't care and I'm lazy and I'm never going to grow up and take on responsibility and you can't make me. Oh yeah and then there's the why should I do anything for you, you don't do anything for me reply. When he was 5 he kicked me in the face while I was driving down the road I almost passed out I parked the car almost got out went to a pay phone and called the cops to tell them where the car was with him in it and runaway, kinda wished I had right now. I am sooo sick of dealing with this kid. Calgon take me away!!!!! Thanks for listening. I really do love him I just don't know how to help him. His behavior is forcing me to do things I don't want to do that's going to get him back in court system.

A few games for kids that use Legos include Lego relay races, Lego team sculpture building and the Lego tower game. Kids may also enjoy playing a Lego scavenger hunt.
The Lego relay race begins with someone placing two buckets filled with Legos near each other and two more buckets some distance away. Children divided into two teams scoop the Legos with a small cup and carry the Legos to the other bucket as fast as possible. The children from each team should go one at a time, and the team that empties its bucket first wins.
For Lego sculpture building, the children sit in the circle and one child connects a few Legos together to create the base of a sculpture. The children pass the sculpture around the circle, and each child adds a few Lego pieces. When each child has had a turn, the sculpture is finished.
For the Lego tower game, the children sit in a circle, and one child lays the first Lego piece. Going around the circle, each child adds a piece until the tower falls and crashes. The last player to add a piece is out.
For the Lego scavenger hunt, someone hides Lego pieces around the house and yard and assigns values to each color. Children collect the pieces and win prizes based on accumulated points.

Mbeki Predicts South Kordofan Ceasefire 'In Days'Published on Friday 17th June 2011
Former South African President Thabo Mbeki says he hopes to have a ceasefire deal in place within days to halt more than a week of heavy fighting in Sudan's Southern Kordofan state. Hundreds of thousands of residents are said to be fleeing the combat zone, creating a fresh humanitarian crisis.Members of Mr. Mbeki's Sudan mediation panel broke away from talks in Addis Ababa on Sudan's political future Thursday for an urgent trip to South Kordofan to meet senior political and military leaders. Arriving back in the Ethiopian capital by day's end, Mr. Mbeki said all sides had agreed to begin ceasefire negotiations within hours to quell an outburst of hostilities that some have compared to Sudan's civil war."We agreed negotiations should start immediately to negotiate a ceasefire but also to address what is the central issue in this conflict, which is the political future of South Kordofan and Blue Nile, which relates to the political future of Sudan as a whole," Mr. Mbeki said.President Mbeki said it should take no more than a day or two to settle all the logistical details of a cessation of hostilities agreement, but no longer. "I doubt if we're a long way. The important point is that both sides have agreed. To effect cessation of hostilities you don't just announce it. I mean there are soldiers standing facing each other. But it's not a matter of many days of negotiating those details. I don't think so," he said.Joining Mr. Mbeki on the one-day trip were former Burundian President Pierre Buyoya, United Nations special envoy to Sudan Haile Menkerios and US special Sudan envoy Princeton Lyman. Mr. Mbeki said the team had heard an urgent appeal for humanitarian aid for civilians displaced by the fighting."They reported to us that there were something like between 400-500,000 people displaced already, that food and medical supplies are not reaching certain areas of the state, and therefore it was very important that this matter be acted upon as quickly as possible," Mr. Mbeki said.South Kordofan will fall north of the border when Southern Sudan secedes from Khartoum's rule July 9. But many of its inhabitants are black African who support the mostly Christian and animist south against the predominantly Arab and Muslim north.Several senior officials of the southern-allied Sudan People's Liberation Movement in the north traveled with the Mbeki party Thursday. The Secretary-General of the SPLM-North, Yasir Arman said ceasefire talks must be accompanied by negotiations with Sudan's ruling National Congress Party on security in South Kordofan."It takes two to tango, we need to sit with the National Congress. We need a serious discussion, a credible process that will lead us to what type of new security arrangement that we are going to get," Arman said.Fresh fighting has also been reported in the past two days in the Abyei region along the north south border. Talks on Abyei's status, mediated by President Mbeki's African Union panel are entering a sixth day at an Addis Ababa hotel.Mr. Mbeki told reporters late Thursday the panel is at the point of concluding the Abyei negotiations. That would clear the way for action by the United Nations Security Council to create a peacekeeping force to patrol the undefined frontier.

If you have been married for over 3 years and are facing divorce, most likely property division will be an issue in your divorce proceedings.
At our 24 year law firm, there are three main steps to dividing assets. First and foremost is separating "obvious" assets such as clothing. Items that were purchased prior to the marriage or received in an inheritance can be separated as well.
Second would be classifying community property and listing the items which remain. Examples would be cars, boats, real property, savings, retirement and 401K. After a list is compiled, our attorneys can determine if any appraisals are necessary.
Appraisals assist in determining the market value of high end assets such as a home or a business. The value of property can make a substantial impact in a divorce proceeding or settlement, Speak to our qualified divorce attorneys to obtain more information if you are facing a high asset divorce.
Lastly, division of the assets should be fair or equitable. This may involve selling an asset in order to divide the money, or our skilled attorneys may suggest offsetting one asset for another based on the agreed upon or appraised value. When facing a divorce with assets and/or property, call the skilled attorneys at Richard K. Isles law firm.

This is a "how to" article which describes how to add the Facebook
xmlns:fb attribute to the html element.
Normally you would probably hard code something like this in
html.tpl.php, however in Adaptivetheme we can push this into a variable in preprocess, thus removing the requirement for a template override and making this a two second copy'n'paste sort of thing.
This is particularly useful since AT uses the same IE classes trick as HTML5 Boilerplate, so you would need to hard code the
xmlns:fb attribute a number of times and it can be kind of confusing where to stick the code - using preprocess and the variable makes this trivial.
themename_preprocess_html() you can add to the
$html_attributes variable, which is flattened in process using
drupal_attributes() and printed in
html.tpl.php - by default this variable holds the language and lang dir.
Therefor its dead easy to push something else into the array, e.g. for Facebook widgets we normally need to add an
xmlns:fb attribute, so in preprocess we can do just that:
function themename_preprocess_html(&$vars) {
// Add facebook xlms attribute to the html element, required by IE
$vars['html_attributes_array']['xmlns:fb'][] = 'http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml';
Clear the cache and bobs your uncle.
