Everyone's talking about this new TV show. It's shot through an upstairs window, maybe in London, maybe not. There's a view of a street tree and a lamppost and a sidewalk where every once in a while someone walks by. In the pilot, we witnessed a blonde woman in a pink shirt and a white skirt, and, about fifteen minutes later, a little boy, both traveling from right to left. The dramatic peak so far came in episode thirteen, when a man riding a bicycle paused briefly next to a fire hydrant on the corner. Was that hydrant always there? Who knows what other adventures await as the mystery continues to unfold? In the meantime, the entire first season will soon be available on DVD for $17.95.

In Robert Osborne's house are many mansions
"Hi, I'm Robert Osborne," says our host Robert Osborne, emerging from the warm mahogany recesses of his Craftsman-style living room. He approaches the camera, smiling enigmatically, then drifts into a niche behind the leather sofa. He reemerges into an Orientalist fantasy of floor cushions, hookahs, and maroon draperies. Still approaching the camera, still smiling, he glides through a lofty hall of white plaster columns, sweeping staircases, and silvery fixtures. He doesn't pick up the white telephone; he keeps on walking through room after room. In a flophouse with stained carpet and peeling wallpaper, he pauses next to a battered La-Z-Boy. He is still smiling, still looking at us. We can't see his feet. Will he sit down? Will he ever sit down?
The Simpsons Second Annual Christmas [in July] Special
Mr. Burns is getting some bootleg videotapes for Christmas! Homer has a secret stash in prison, and Mr. Smithers sneaks in, disguised in a trench coat and dark glasses. He hands Homer six hundred dollars in tidy little bundles and leaves with a spilling-over armful of tapes, at a run, dodging the guards' bullets. After a while Mr. Burns tires of the tapes, and Homer needs entertainment to pass the long nights in prison, so Mr. Smithers breaks back in and supplies Homer with an armful of bootleg videotapes in exchange for six hundred dollars. But Homer also needs money, and Mr. Burns needs something to help him pass the long nights in his mansion, so Smithers dons his trench coat, puts six hundred dollars in his pocket, and pays Homer another visit, leaving at a run with an armful of videotapes, dodging bullets. The nights in prison are still long too, though, so Homer arranges another transaction, armful of tapes, six hundred dollars, but then he needs six hundred dollars, Mr. Burns in his mansion is bored, Mr. Smithers, six hundred dollars, armful of tapes, dodging bullets, repeat, until one day Homer suddenly realizes while sitting on his lawn chair on the roof of the prison, dreaming of profits and videotapes, that he can just jump down off the roof and be free. So Homer is joyfully reunited with his family for Christmas, and the giant egg that had been incubating under his lawn chair hatches into a giant yellow teapot and flies away, psychedelic music playing, into the sunset, credits roll.
I'd Like to Thank the Academy
The demilitarized zone outside the Academy was teeming with gowns and guard dogs. We made our way past the goosestepping sentries, past the white-columned totalitarian facade, and into the fairgrounds where the picnic tables were arrayed for the festive banquet. I scanned the crowded benches for someone to sit next to, but everyone was talking to everyone else and I decided I'd better go home. As I got outside there was a commotion in the DMZ, and I saw–barely saw, it happened so fast–my unglamorous brown dog herded into a truck along with the guards' German shepherds, flying off to some crisis with flashing lights and sirens blaring. I flashed forward to my desolate future life, searching the city for my only friend like Umberto D, but before I got there a few days had passed and my dog had come home with a new companion, a chipper shepherd from the Academy force, proving that there are still happy endings in Hollywood.
Not the Dream He Had in Mind
The March on Washington, August 28, 1963. Among the thousands gathered on this momentous day are members of the crew of the firefly-class spaceship Serenity. They've sailed far across that vast sea the president is so excited about, and they have demands. As Dr. King approaches the podium, the tough guy with the woman's name starts to mix it up with members of the crowd. Who thought it was a good idea to let a bunch of space cowboys stand in the front row? Did Kennedy have something to do with this? Or are we witnessing an ill-conceived attempt at comic relief on the part of an exhausted TV writer? Fortunately, history will forget they were ever here.
America's Least Wanted
There was only this one episode, where we all sat around in our separate studio apartments moping in the dark next to telephones that didn't ring. The camera operators yawned. Nothing happened. Nobody watched. The show got cancelled.
Out of My Mind 2: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Special Reunion Episode
Surprise! Tara wasn't dead, she was just asleep for a while. She and Willow are back together, but they're having trouble getting along after all that time apart. At the cast pajama party in the attic of Buffy's mom's house, they keep waking everybody up with their bickering. Still playing the role of Irrelevant Older Friend, I counsel them not to try to work out all their breakup details now — division of property will be easier in the morning. Meanwhile, Buffy is in heaven, which looks a lot like New Zealand. She cruises up and down the mountain roads on a motorcycle; the angel guide on the back of her bike explains that this is what you do during your first year in heaven. Also, you have to wear an oversized black leather police cap with lots of gilding and sparkles on it, inspired by a costume designed for the Village People. "That's funny," Buffy says, "because I'm not even a gay man." Her long tresses spill from under the cap and fly out behind her as she takes a hairpin turn at top speed. Her toenails, peeking out between the straps of her high-heeled sandals, are painted pink.

Optimism Meets Reality: On the Ground at ad:tech
There's an ongoing debate about how bad the online ad market has become and will get (your choices: less good, bad or very bad). But that isn't stopping the organizers of ad:tech from putting on their annual, um, advertising and technology show this week.
This should be a good place to gauge the state of the industry, but it's also a dizzying one: There are a couple hundred booths and dozens of panels to navigate. So MediaMemo asked an ad:tech veteran for a guide: Mike Lazerow, whose Buddy Media specializes in getting big brands to advertise on social networks like Facebook and News Corp.'s (NWS) MySpace.
Lazerow's first suggestion was to catch CNN president Jon Klein's keynote this morning. But voting lines nixed that idea (suggestion for next time–Brooklyn district 91 needs more voting machines). Other highlights from Lazerow's itinerary:
Another must-see keynote is the 'state of the industry' on Tuesday, moderated by Internet Advertising Bureau chief Randall Rothenberg. I usually stay away from any panel featuring five people with giant titles on the same stage together. But Randall is an uber-sharp strategist and thought-leader and promises to lead a compelling panel discussion that aims to cut through the noise of the digital marketing world.
… By far the most compelling Data panel is Wednesday's 'The Future of Measurement–How Do We Define the New Media Currency?' David Hallerman, a senior analyst at eMarketer, hosts leaders of the major metrics firms, Nielsen Online, Hitwise, comScore, Quantcast and Microsoft's Analytics and Atlas Institute. The focus of the panel will be how to create universal metrics to gauge the success and determine the pricing of all digital media that Google doesn't hold a claim to. I encourage the panelists to grab a drink with each other afterward to move closer to common metrics. …
The ad network panel that will be most interesting is Thursday's late-afternoon session 'So Many Networks, So Little Time: Analyzing the Digital Network Landscape,' hosted by David Joseph, head of the interactive entertainment research group at Morgan Stanley.
The real title of the panel should be 'Online Ad Networks: Why There Are Too Many and Why They Will Be Out of Business Soon.' While the world wants another ad network as much as I want my third heart surgery, these buy-siders will help sift through the confusion of the already over-crowded ad network space.
… For the most part, avoid all panels that have 'innovation,' 'synergy' and 'dispatches from' in the title. Stick with panels featuring companies that HAVE money (agencies, brands) and not companies that are selling solutions (startups, vendors and the major ad networks and sites). What matters is what the brands and agencies are buying, not what we want to sell them!"
And yes, Lazerow is on a panel himself: "Mobilizing and Leveraging Consumer Insights: Best Practices for the Digital and Social Media Age" kicks off at 2:45 p.m., and he assures me the discussion will be more interesting than the name. See you there.

Calicarpa - Extra-Fine Merino DK
No battle preparation is complete without Chainmail. Arm yourself against the cold with this stalwart yarn and knit up your own armour! ... Or perhaps something a little more comfortable! It is, after all, wonderfully soft and squishy yarn. Hooray!
With a base of semi-solid silver topped with silver speckles, this yarn is simple but effective and has a beautiful soft sheen it brings to every project.
Extra-Fine DK is my 100% Superwash Merino DK base. It's 19.5 micron Merino wool means this yarn is super squishy and soft, but also light enough to be used for large projects like sweaters and blankets.
200m/218 yards per 100g
This base is DK weight 4ply yarn. I'd recommend needle sizes between 3mm - 6.5mm depending on pattern and desired gauge.
All of my yarn is prepared and stored in a smoke and pet free environment.
Superwash wool can be machine washed on a delicates cycle at 30⁰c, but I would recommend hand washing and laying flat to dry. Do not machine wash non-superwash wool. I recommend hand washing in cool water with very little agitation and a gentle soap. Lay flat to dry.
I have done my best to accurately represent the true colour of the skeins with my pictures, but due to differences in screen settings, what you see may not be exactly the same shade as the pictures I've taken.
As with all hand dyed yarn, no two skeins will ever be identical. However, where possible I will send skeins from the same dye lot together. A little bit of colour run may happen in the first few washes, but this will be minimal.

You may have heard that the best day to go fishing is any day you can get on the water. I tend to agree. When I recently looked at my calendar, I saw that I have something to do every Saturday until Thanksgiving! AND I have to have oral surgery the Wednesday before Thanksgiving so I'll be out of pocket for about 2 weeks after that. SOOOO, when I saw that I had this past Saturday off (no I didn't have to judge second round of all-state auditions), I couldn't pass up the chance.
We had a late, out-of-town football game Friday that put me back home at 11 PM and in bed by 11:30. When I woke up at 4 AM, I though that it would take an extra shot of coffee to get me moving. It's funny that at my age, I have to forego the second cup just because I know I won't be able to make it to the launch without having to stop for a bathroom 🙂 Well, the excitement of knowing that we finally got a cool front down here and the wind was forecast to be 5-10 for most of the morning was all the "caffeine" I needed. I arrived at my combat launch around 6:45 and was casting a deer hair popper in glass-flat water by 7. The water was still high because of Hurricane Michael and to top that off we had an unusually large tidal range predicted for this weekend. The water wasn't dirty but it wasn't clear either. The tide was predicted to start falling early on but the wind was also forecast to pick up to 10-12 mph around mid morning.
I got a huge blowup early on by an inquisitive redfish that didn't result in a hookup. After about 45 minutes of no more inquisitive fish, I decided to paddle over to my "trout" spot. I didn't get any trout to investigate my popper but I did notice some tiny shrimp leaping out of the water. I switched over to a pink Lafleur's Charlie under a VOSI and the action started. I did bring my ice chest and planned to keep some trout for my freezer (I'm currently out of trout). I probably caught about a dozen by 8:15. I only kept those that were 14 inches or better so I threw back a lot of 12-inch trout. Anyway the bite slowed down and I did some exploring for redfish. I figured I might get lucky and find some clear water but that didn't happen. I thought I might find some tails in some shallow back water areas but they were void of any redfish. I did manage to catch a couple nice redfish while I was fishing for trout. The redfish were not on the grass bank. They were about 6 or 7 feet off the bank in moving water. I probably could have caught more but I needed to get back to Baton Rouge for the LSU football game, so I called it a day around 1. Anyway, my ice chest (Yeti knockoff that's made by Jackson Kayak and isn't very big) was full. I kept the two redfish (21 and 23 inches) and 8 trout (largest measured 16.5). My battery on my GoPro died but I did get some pictures.
This 21 inch redfish ate the pink Lafleur's Charlie.
My largest trout of the morning at 16.5
And my largest redfish at 23.
I might have to sneak out on a Sunday if the weather allows me another opportunity before Thanksgiving 🙂

That Was The Show That Was: Cymbals Eat Guitars with Bob Mould | Paradise Rock Club | 12 Sept.
We recognize the ridiculousness inherent in reviewing a show where Hüsker Dü-er and Sugar daddy Bob Mould performed, but in which he is not the star of said review, but bear with us. NYC indie rock troupe Cymbals Eat Guitars, who opened for the aforementioned Mr. Mould Friday night at Boston's legendary Paradise Rock Club, are out touring what may very well be their masterpiece, and stood to gain more than the legendary headliner if things went well. Cymbals Eat Guitars' recent third LP is simply titled Lose, and it is a dense, emotional and raw collection. That they're able to promote said record playing shows with a punk icon whose music pretty much set the curve for dense, emotional and raw music is a nifty bit of serendipity. And we're glad to report that Cymbals Eat Guitars were well-received by a crowd that included a substantial contingent of older folks more than likely inclined to consider the night's opener an afterthought, if they considered the opener at all. Happily, we counted plenty of older dudes visibly connecting with and even head-banging excitedly for the younger act.
Cymbals Eat Guitars' set unsurprisingly drew heavily from Lose, with a vital, anthemic reading of early single "Warning" setting the tone for the rest of the foursome's stage time. As noted in the press surrounding the new record, Lose represents no small mount of catharsis for fronter Joseph D'Agostino, a songwriter who played things closer to the vest on the band's earlier records. Despite the shorter time slot, D'Agostino managed to wade pretty deep into the album's emotional whorl, with album highlights "Jackson" and "XR" memorializing in part the sudden loss of a dear friend and former collaborator earlier this century. Cymbals Eat Guitars wisely ended with the record's centerpiece, the eight-minute tour de force "Laramie." The tune touts a slow build-up and concludes with a excoriating noise section during which D'Agostino wrung out notes up the fretboard from behind his head. The old punx liked that a lot. Lose was issued Aug. 26 by Barsuk Records and is available for purchase right here.
"Bob Mould still has it," I texted to a friend as I walked out of the Paradise late Friday night -- and why shouldn't he? With the exception of when he took some time away for important things like pro wrestling and dance music, the man has routinely released impressive rock 'n' roll record after impressive rock 'n' roll record, including his most recent set Beauty & Ruin. And all of that since the dissolution of his second genre-defining group, the aforementioned Sugar. Mould's set Friday was book-ended by two undisputed Hüsker Dü classics in "Flip Your Wig" and "Chartered Trips," respectively, and the meat in the middle served as a mini-"Our Band Could Be Your Life," dipping into the Hüsker and Sugar songbooks heavily, as well as Mould's impressive (and steadily growing) solo repertoire. Mould is backed by one of the best rhythm sections in punk rock, with Superchunk/Mountain Goats' John Wurster on drums and Split Single-guy Jason Narducy on bass, and together the trio impressively recreated the classic SST squall of sound that Mould helped define three decades ago with utterly classic records such as Zen Arcade and the more refined New Day Rising. The obligatory mosh pit materialized in the crowd early on, and it seems safe to assume the multi-generational melee included more than a few who had been there to thrash the first time around. Beauty & Ruin was released by Merge Records June 3 and is available for purchase right here. -- Dillon Riley

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Trauma' tag.
Earlier this summer, I had the pleasure of attending a seminar on Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) through the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities, Family Social Science Department. Narrative Exposure Therapy is a relatively new, but very effective, intervention for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It was developed and is being used in mass trauma situations, like refugee camps. Multiple experimental randomized, control studies demonstrate its effectiveness at eliminating PTSD for victims of multiple trauma events (Neuner, 2004; Onyut, 2005; van Minnen, 2002).
Narrative Exposure Therapy is conducted in a short series of structured sessions. In the first, individuals participate in a diagnostic interview partially to evaluate for the presence of PTSD. In the subsequent session, they asked to create their "lifeline" by laying out a length of rope and indicate positive events with flowers and negative events with rocks. Subsequent sessions consist of explaining their "lifeline" with the inclusion of both their flowers and rocks. They may also be asked to describe some of their hopes and dreams for the rest of their lives.
In each session, counselors record the individual's life story and ask for corrections. When counseling is completed, a digital photograph of their lifeline is taken. Through the use of the lifeline, the traumatic event becomes integrated into the total narrative of the person's life.
I ran into the literature for this approach earlier this year while I was working on a literature review with the U of M and was impressed by the elegance and effectiveness of the approach. Attending the seminar really highlighted the theoretical basis, need and again, effectiveness. I will probably be writing future posts about some of those other things from the seminar that really stood out to me.

A study put out by Michigan State University found that some children who are victims of domestic violence are more resilient because they are by nature, more easy-going, and their mom's don't have mental health issues of their own. Four times as many children who witness domestic violence prior to age 4 end up developing emotional or behavioral issues. In spite of that, half of the children surveyed didn't develop those issues because of their nature and mother's mental health. Children who were chronically exposed to domestic violence on the other hand typically did develop emotional/behavioral issues.
A huge part of this research seems to be very common sense. That is the blessing and the curse of the research's paramountcy. Everything is simply not proven false. Data rules. However, in that world you have to spend money and time to confirm what would seem to incredibly evident. At least now we have the data to help confirm the importance of taking care of the mental health needs of mothers. With that data, we can get the money to make sure that it actually happens.

In spite of widely held stereotypes, individuals experiencing an increase in mental health symptoms actually more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators. This may be due to their behaviors driving caretakers away and/or an increased focus on the internal mental state on the part of the the individual. When individuals are experiencing an increase in symptoms, it is recommended that they consider spending less time in public spaces, community treatment facilities or increases in guardianship.
Georgia State University (2009, April 14). Increased Symptoms Lead Mentally Disordered To Become Victims Of Violence. ScienceDaily. Retrieved April 16, 2009, from http://www.sciencedaily.com /releases/2009/04/090414120459.htm
A recent study put out by the University of Washington found that girls growing up with a parent dealing with heroin dependence, incarceration, mental illness, or violence were four times more resilient than boys growing up in similar circumstances. Resilience was defined as "working or being in school [until adulthood], avoiding substance abuse and staying out of trouble with the law in the past five years." (Although that may seem like a very minimal expectation, only 30 of the 125 surveyed children demonstrated resilience of that quality.) The sample was taken from children of parents utilizing methadone clinics in Seattle metro areas. The major factor affecting that finding seemed to be that boys more often had criminal charges against them.
I wonder about the affect gender socialization has on that outcome. Are males socialized more to respond in violence to adverse circumstances? Are males actually doing more criminal activity, or are females doing more criminal activity under the supervision of pimps? If males are doing more criminal activity, are they doing it to provide for their families? (If you join a gang, there is an element of protection there, not to mention an opportunity to make some money.) Also, how would the data be different if it were taken from more upper to middle class constituents, or from a third world setting? What do you think?

Is this the quilt that Ester wanted to find the original, not believing that it was in hiding! When she did find it the owner did not want to show it etc. So she made her own?

Clay makes me feel like a superhero.
This one specific medium gets the students so absolutely excited. If Justin Beiber walked into the room, I think the level of excitement would be the same as when I greet the students with an apron and clay hands. Oh boy!
My second graders are the first to do a clay project this year (the others will start next week!). We are making clay fish after reading The Pout Pout Fish. Such a fun lesson! Here are some images from this week. I think everyone left class feeling so accomplished and happy - my goal for every art class and every student!

4th grade gesture drawing
I started a lesson this week that's one of my favorites. The fourth graders discussed the artwork and life of Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti. The rest of the day, we posed and used mannequins to practice gesture drawing. Next, we'll take our knowledge of the figure to create Giacometti-inspired foil figures.
I had so much fun talking with the students about Giacometti's art. Here's a highlight from this week's discussion:
"Mrs. Elder, is it okay if I make a connection?'
Me: Of course!
"I think this guy looks like someone."
Me: Is is someone in this room (really hoping this wasn't the start of a mean comment!)?
"No, I mean...I really know my music...and this guy looks just like Bruno Mars."
Hilarious!!!! And, I totally see the similarities. What do you think?

1st grade Tiny Seeds
The first graders create secondary colors by mixing primary colors. Eric Carle is an author and illustrator. We talked about different jobs you can have in the art world. We read Eric Carle's book The Tiny Seed and discussed our favorite part of the book. Next, the students became illustrators as they choose one favorite part of the story for their artwork. Check out all of the geometric shapes that make up the giant flower! The final touch was to add a seed!

I heart SBCE
My school is just fabulous. I wanted to take a tiny moment to say thank you to the wonderful staff at my school. I needed some basic supplies for the classroom (band-aides, kleenexx) and one thing for a specific project (a lot of Ziplocs for clay). Voila! I received so many emails from teachers welcoming me into their closets. I also have been greeted by numerous messengers bringing me supplies from their teachers. THANK YOU! I feel very supported from my wonderful colleagues. Thank you all!

4th Modi self-portraits
My students had the benefit of doing this lesson because I saw it on my friend's blog Art in the Big Green Room. She kindly shared it with me and I really enjoyed teaching about Amedeo Modigliani's unique style of portraiture. The students created their own self-portrait using a lot of his characteristics and added a dark, shade for the background. Super cool!
3rd fall silhouettes
The third graders created these amazing fall-inspired silhouettes. We created a value background using one color to create tints and shades. Next, they studied cool facts about trees and created a tree as their main object of positive space. I had fun seeing the other details they added!
5th grade op art hands
The fifth graders created some amazing optical illusions involving their hand in a cool position. They each chose a color scheme for their artwork and added a dark value to help create the illusion.

Fall 2013 GAEA conference
These are a few of the thoughts going through my head as I think back to this amazing long weekend I had in Savannah, GA at the Georgia Art Education Association's fall conference.
I traveled with fellow teachers that I am so grateful to also call friends. Katie, Martha and Melissa teach near me and I've known them for quite a while, but I had a wonderful time getting to know them even better as art teachers and as super cool ladies!
at the Masquerade Ball
before our Printmaking presentation
I loved seeing art teachers I've known from different phases of my life - summer camp, undergrad, grad school, even high school! I find it very cool to see where we have ended up all over the state of Georgia. I really love meeting new people too and hearing about the different art education programs from around the state.
you know you are at an art teachers' function when there is kid's art as centerpieces!
lovely conference center
The workshops I went to were fantastic. I am totally psyched to start using a iPad in the classroom. I went to two great presentations (thank you, Martha!) about how to best incorporate them into the class with regards to super cool apps that coordinate with lessons as well as tips for managing them in the room. I loved a presentation I went to about creating a psychologically safe classroom. Wow, that presenter was amazing and had such a huge heart. I jumped out of the elementary teacher role and jumped into a more art-student role at a fantastic presentation from a SCAD professor about color and light. The things he told me about the temperature of colors really has changed how I hope to make art and to be able to perceive and understand artworks even better (and thus, explain it to my kids with greater knowledge!).
Cool art all over! This is from recycled cans.
new take on a collagraphic printmaking technique
Painted tiles, canvases, mirrors...oh my!
What a fixture! :)
I always find it daunting to plan to leave school. Is it worth writing all those sub plans and getting out all the supplies for each lesson?
Well, I hereby say "YES"! I've become newly convicted that it is very important to re-energize myself as a teacher by being around other fantastic teachers and hearing amazing new ideas.. Thank you to all the presenters, my wonderful friends and my school for being supportive of this endeavor.
One of my favorite swag items I brought back with me was this pin. I LOVE IT. It's from an amazing website, the Art of Ed. I look forward to wearing this proudly (and following it's advice!).

"Among the many words used to describe family caregivers—invisible, overwhelmed, heroic, to name just a few—one is often just assumed. That word is "unpaid." Although family caregivers are often praised as a critical part of the elder care workforce, most don't get a paycheck."
Many caregivers of elderly parents and loved ones need financial help. There's the constant pressure of emotional and physical stress, but caregiving also can bring money issues. These can include things like paying for medical supplies and drugs that aren't fully covered by insurance, transportation to doctor offices and therapy, home adaptations, home care and many other expenses. These expenses can destroy a caregiver's budget.
It's not surprising that many family caregivers wonder if they can get paid for taking care of their parent.
Next Avenue's recent article asks "Can You Get Paid to Take Care of Your Mom?" The short answer? "It depends." The reason it depends is because there are a variety of programs and resources that are eligible to caregivers based on eligibility requirements, as well as the state where you live, the age or condition of the senior for whom you're caring, your relationship to that person, his or her income and assets, plus other criteria.
While none of the state and federal programs discussed below would replace a full-time salary with benefits, for some caregivers, the extra resources would be welcome.
- Long-term care insurance. If your parent has long-term care insurance that provides for in-home care, it may allow a family member to be paid.
- A private contract with a family member. Your parent or family member may have the resources to pay you if they choose. If so, a private contract or a personal care agreement may be the answer. However, this may cause family conflict and legal issues. Consult an elder law attorney to draft a contract that details your wages and your responsibilities. He or she will make sure that any effect on inheritances is noted. All interested parties, like siblings and other relatives, should also be informed and approve the arrangement in advance.
- Consumer-directed Medicaid programs. Every state, except South Dakota, has Medicaid programs that allow an eligible senior to hire, fire, and train their home care aides. These programs are called "Cash and Counseling." Every state has its eligibility requirements. Family members or friends can be hired, but only 12 states allow spouses to be paid. When the request is approved, the state Medicaid agency creates an individualized budget based on needs and available resources.
- Paid family leave. The federal Family Medical Leave Act protects workers' employment, when they take time off for the birth or adoption of a baby, or to care for a seriously ill family member. But it's unpaid leave. A few states, like California, New Jersey, and Rhode Island, have programs that give employees the right to paid leave for these major life events. The states all have different payment schedules and eligibility requirements.
- Caregivers of veterans. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has several caregiver support programs. For primary caregivers of veterans injured in military conflicts after 9/11, there are monthly stipends, and other benefits to caregivers to include travel expenses, access to health care insurance, mental health services and 30 days of respite a year. Caregivers of other veterans, who require assistance and are housebound, may be eligible for the VA's Aid and Attendance Pension Benefit. Some states also have programs for veterans.
- Vouchers for employed caregivers. Hawaii became the first state to provide financial assistance to full-time employed caregivers of older adults this past summer. The Kupuna Caregivers Act (kupuna means "grandparent" or "elder" in Hawaiian) provides up to $70 per day in vouchers for eligible caregivers. The voucher can be used to pay for services available through one of Hawaii's Aging and Disability Resource Centers. The services include adult day care, case management, home-delivered meals and transportation.
- Tax credits. Twenty-three states have some type of tax credit for caregivers of dependent older adults. Tax credits can be deducted from their state tax bill, and sometimes a percentage of the amount on their federal tax return.
There are also other sources of support, like Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or Meals on Wheels to help provide food. There are other programs that pay for paratransit or homemaker services.
Finally, consider that caregiving that lasts for years presents financial challenges. You should have a comprehensive plan. Speak to an elder law attorney about the options for your situation.

When A Car Lot Has Used Cars For Sale
This is what can happen when you see the sign; used cars for sale
A lady I spoke to at a seminar of mine told me she was concerned for her son. He went alone, to a used car lot and brought home a car. She was proud of him for taking the initiative to go alone, negotiate a car price and loan, and provide his transportation to and from work. He was told the length of his loan period, but it was not true. That time period has long past, and he still owed a lot of money on his car loan. She could not understand how this could happen. I told her to get the contract out, read the fine print, and get back to me. Before she contacted me, I told her what to look for. The following items are what she looked for, and sadly, many are what she found.
I informed her that she should talk to her son and tell him the importance of "doing his homework" before he makes a major purchase of any type. The next time he sees; "used cars for sale" – he should immediately start his research.
The first thing to do is to call the local banks and credit unions to find out what the going APR and interest rates are. Currently (August 2014) used car loans are as low as 4.7%. If you go to a used car dealer and he offers you 20%, you are better off riding the bus. Alternatively, if he offers you a 7 year loan on an inexpensive used car, that is also a red flag — that something is wrong.
If you can qualify for a used car loan from a bank or your local credit union, these loans are far superior to the used car dealer loans. You can get qualified from your bank or credit union first, then take your "evidence of loan qualification" papers with you to the dealer.
The women I spoke to about her son's used car loan informed me that her son's contract stated he was paying 21% interest, he was told the interest rate was 9% by the dealer.
Used car dealers can charge something called a "dealer rate" over the "buy rate". The dealer works with a lender who gives him the loan, and allows him to "mark-up" the interest rate as he wishes, this is the "dealer rate". The dealer is not really concerned about the markup because he will get the difference between his rate and the lenders rate, or the lenders "buy rate". He uses the excuse that his clients all have bad credit, and are high risk. That is not true, her son had good credit. His only problem was that he was a low-information buyer. The lenders "buy rate" is the lower rate the car buyer qualifies for — her son had a very low "buy rate", but did not know it. Her son did not understand what the sign, "used cars for sale", really meant, and neither did she.
Her son thought he had a good deal because his monthly payments were low enough for him to pay. The problem was, his payments extended over a period that made him pay three times what his car was worth.
The monthly payments are important, but not the main item you should focus on. The main items to focus on are 1. Interest Rates, and 2. APR (Annual Percentage Rate). Each of these items are determined by credit score and whether you are buying a new or used car.
You can decrease your interest rate and APR by putting down a larger down payment, if you don't have a good credit history. But, make sure you get the lowest interest rate possible, check your contract. Before you go car shopping, ask around for a reputable dealer.
Since everything is negotiable, the first thing you need to do is to research the dealers you will visit. There information is all over the internet, both local and national websites have information on used car dealers. If you are interested in used cars, look up several makes and models with the year, and research the prices.
Before going to the car lot, you should know the current interest rates and APR on used cars. You should also know your credit report, and credit score. Ask the dealer to quote his interest rate and APR. Then ask him to show you a copy of his contract, tell him you have to take it home to read it. Of course, he will emphatically say, "no", if he has given you a bad contract. At least, take out your magnifying glass and read it. If this angers him, that may be a sign for you to leave immediately.
Her son paid for several "add-ons" he was not aware of. The add-ons can include items that are already on the car or totally unnecessary, but with his purchase, were all "re-charged" to him. The items car dealers usually add on are 1. Service Contracts, 2. Rust Proofing, 3. Gap Insurance 4. Window Etching, 5. Credit Life Insurance, and anything else that is not necessary, but drives up the price of the car.
The only thing a used car buyer needs is car insurance, contact an insurance broker before you go car shopping, let him know you are buying a used car. He will work out coverage before you buy the car. Contact him from the lot to cover your car purchase. Refuse all of the add-ons; all of them will inflate the price of the car well past its value.
A really sad trick that some used car dealers' play on low-information buyers is the conditional sell agreement. The buyer unknowingly signs a "conditional sell" agreement, after they have the car for awhile, the dealer calls and tells them to bring back the car. He then, informs the buyer that he/she must now sign a permanent sells agreement, but the interest rate has been increased.
To avoid a conditional sell agreement when you first purchase a used car, it is important to read the contract and its fine print before signing. But, the time you sign your first original contract, he has probably given you a lot of bad product if you have not been diligent. If he feels you may be a gullible, person by now, he will close with a conditional sell agreement. Avoid a conditional sell agreement by questioning everything, and reading your sell agreement before you sign.
Many used car dealers sell the same car over and over. This is called churning. Because of the large "dealer rate" for loans, the add-on's that over-price the car, and the hidden conditional contracts, many used car buyers end up getting their car repossessed. The car dealer knows this is a possibility, but actually creates the environment so they can "resale" a car over and over. The buyer goes into bankruptcy, because they have no options — in most cases. Many of these cars have major mechanical problems, so the dealer knows the car will either stop running soon, or the person will bring it back to the lot. In either of these cases he is able to resale the car. Make
sure you have a mechanical evaluation before you buy a used car, take a mechanic friend with you or pay a mechanic to evaluate it on the lot. There are mechanics who advertise, "used car lot – car evaluations".
Because most contracts for used cars come with "arbitration clauses", the buyer has no options for getting out of a bad contract, on a bad car. In some cases paying for Arbitration can be more than the car cost. Another big problem is that the arbitrator usually sides with the car dealer. The less expensive and least biased option, would be, Small Claims Court — but it is usually not in the contract, unless you demand it be put there.

I always look forward to the start of the college football season. Every fall my family and I take the trip to the University of Notre Dame to take in two or three of their home games. Both of my daughters attended the university as well as both of my sons-in-law. The school is a very special place for our family and we always enjoy spending the weekend in South Bend during the football season.
Walking the campus on Friday, attending the football luncheon, going to the pep rally, and tailgating are all part of our weekend tradition.
This year the Irish opened their season against Nevada. Jimmy Clausen and the Irish were dominant in their shutout over Nevada. Hopefully they can keep that form throughout the season.

text: CmdrRockHunter 8 Posted June 27, 2019 Hi everyone. So I'm an Elite Dangerous Cmdr who finally picked up IL-2 Sturmovik in the current sale having prevaricated for far too long over the purchase. As fans of the game you may be wondering why, or know all too well how daunting this game and sims in general can be to the newbie. I haven't played a flight sim of any kind (I'm not counting ED) since Microsoft's Combat Flight Simulator back in the late Nineties' on my old Sidewinder Precision Pro and whilst I loved it I was never a competent pilot. That's an itch I've wanted to scratch ever since and now appears to be the time to finally do it. So I've done probably the worst possible thing and jumped right in, only to have a quick look but I've immediately run into problems. I'm using a X-55 Rhino and Samsung Odyssey HMD and mapped the throttle, pitch, roll and yaw simply so I could jump into a quick mission and check out the feel late last night, having just downloaded the game, only to find myself sitting on the wing. I've been playing around trying to find the best way to set up my headset and reset the view nice and easily but the sheer number of 'snap to such and such view' is a little overwhelming, as are the volume of controls required to have full control over these aircraft. So, I'm hoping there may be an upto date tutorial or series of guides that may help in general and, perhaps, specifically for the X-55. Anything that explains what each control actually does will help me understand what I will need to map and to where or even if I need to delve into the dreaded Saitek software. Elite Dangerous has a similarly famed steep learning curve with little to no official guide so I'm certainly happy to start at the bottom of the pile and start a long slog....I just need to know where to start in terms of up to date info. Looking forward to starting my flight career again, after many many years. Thanks 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An Elmwood Park detective nabbed a bank robber from Teaneck minutes after she fled with $331 from a Valley National branch on Friday, authorities said.
Detective Michael Goldyn grabbed Gianna A. Baskerville, 22, as she headed west on Broadway away from the Elmwood Park bank, Police Chief Michael Foligno said.
Baskerville "passed a note to a teller stating she had a gun demanding money but did not display a weapon," Foligno said.
She fled west with the cash but didn't get very far.
Goldyn arrested Baskerville without incident, the chief said.
Baskerville has an arrest history for offenses that include assault and making terroristic threats.
Two years ago her family reported her missing. She'd been in Paterson, authorities said.

I have a SONY Cybershot DSC W150. When I turn it on the lens goes kut and comes back in several times, then I get the error message "Turn the Power Off and On Again", but doing that does not change anything. This is one of four digicams I own (also a Nikon D90, SONY DSC F717, and a Canon) and I like the W150 for some purposes because it is compact and has a viewfinder, not just a screen. I have been unable to find a similar camera. What can I do to fix the problem? Gerry Meisels [email protected]

I have a sony DSC-W150 and the camera turns on but it says "for use with compatible battery only" and then turns off. I talked to a sony representative and they told me to take the battery out and then hold the power butter for 30 seconds but that didn't work. They told me that it is probably the firmware and said it would cost over 200.00 dollars to get it fixed is there any way I can fix this myself? What else can be the problem?
I just bought a Canon Camcorder that has some sort of code that won't let it charge up while in the camera and plug in to the house outlet, unless it is made by Canon. Maybe Sony is doing the same thing. A new Sony battery goes for $40 to $50. Cheape ... Digital Cameras

Do Big Youth Groups Work?
June 24, 2014
Teri alerted me to this latest White Horse Inn and the quote below. If you still have children at home, I'd encourage you to listen to what Mike Horton and T. David Gordon have to say. Passing the torch on to our children is a challenge. I think parents are most effective when they live the truth at home, and when they routinely worship with their children in a church that preaches the Word, and will love and pray for the parents and children of the church.
"… Not only are we not keeping our youth, as it were, which is the great fear; not only is it not working, but insofar as that they see any pattern, the curious thing is: the churches that do not have big youth programs, or even any youth program, are retaining their young people through their twenties at a higher rate than the churches with big youth programs. … [Statisticians have] demonstrated it! And at first that seems counterintuitive. 'What? You mean we have a $75,000 budget in our church for a youth director, and all the bells and the whistles, and we're getting nothing for it?' And the answer is 'of course, you can see why!' Because Christianity is not all about me. It's all about Christ, and my serving Christ. And so, if for six or seven years in the youth program, we throw pizza, and Pepsi, and movies at someone, and then at some point, magically he hits 21 and we say, 'Now, we want you to come out for the Church work party, and clean the gutters out, or do this, that, and the other, or keep nursery,' he goes, 'Woah, woah, woah, where's my pizza? Where's my Pepsi? Where's my movies?'"

The movie The Son of God is out. June alerted me to a critique from Answers in Genesis. It is helpful. Also, Tim Challies discussed the movie a few weeks ago. Often movies of this genre (e.g. The Passion of the Christ) create quite a stir for believers but seldom, if ever, really deliver.

If You Have Children With a Mobile Device …
December 26, 2013
Read this. As a parent, you are responsible for locking down Internet access. Trust me, your children will find the wrong places to go if YOU don't guard the gate. And, the sins dabbled in now might very well haunt them the rest of their lives. Sowing now results in a harvest later. Do your best to keep your children safe.
The Beauty of Motherhood
December 2, 2013
November 26, 2013
I appreciate this piece by Tullian. It is about a husband who announces that he is going to leave his wife. The wife doesn't react but instead just keeps loving her husband. In the end, the husband returned physically and emotionally. Even though this is about a husband leaving his wife, the principle Tullian communicates might be applied in our lives at least on a weekly basis. Not that our spouses routinely want to leave us (hopefully). But, all of our mates have difficult days when they can't seem to love us the way we'd like. The same principle illustrated in this piece needs to be applied in our marriages and lives. As we respond graciously, those we love will eventually come back.
Stephen Altrogge suggests that we should get rid of the word "should." I'm not sure I completely buy what he's suggesting.
Finally, I've said before that parents have the primary responsibility of discipling their children. This often happens best not as our children are whisked away to youth ministries but rather as they worship and serve with their parents in church. I realize that this only works for children whose parents attend church.
October 29, 2013
In a grace focused environment it is important to remember that we best help our children understand grace in light of the law. John Piper encourages parents to require obedience of their children.
Last week I posted a link to Tim Challies detailing 18 things he will not regret doing with his children. This week he highlights 18 things he will not regret doing with his wife. Good encouragement.
Here is an interesting piece by Halee Gray Scott, critiquing the way women's ministry is typically run in evangelicalism. From my inexperienced position, it seems that what she says is important.
Do you ever read the Old Testament and wonder how to apply it? Eric Ortlund offers some helpful tips in his piece, A Very Brief Guide to Reading the Old Testament Devotionally.

We're getting really sick of glitter, and it's not even Christmas yet. At the same time, though, we're not trying to be party poopers. We just want our makeup to show off our holiday spirit without crossing that fine line into disco-ball territory. Of course, that's easier said than done, as things that glimmer and shimmer tend to be incredibly difficult to apply. So, we called in makeup artist James Vincent to help us figure out how to integrate this holiday beauty staple into our look. Watch as he shows Candace how to create a sparkly lip that's still sophisticated and chic. Suddenly, glitter doesn't seem so bad.

The LG G3 has gained a lot of praise everywhere for its design and features. At times when competing smartphones are doing an excellent job in filling up the spec sheet, LG has done a great job in stepping things up a notch. That said, those of you that were interested in buying the G3 in some of the color options that were announced in May have found it peculiar that not all five color options are available yet, or at least not until next month.
LG has just confirmed that the missing colors Moon Violet, and Burgundy Red will be available in August. Sadly we can't predict which markets will be served with the colors initially, as the tweet from LG teases that this will depend on carriers in some places. Hopefully that doesn't become another carrier exclusive deal in the United States, as we've seen in the past as well.
What's important is that you will get more color options for one of the most iconic devices of the year. Do you care about these two color options being mentioned, or have you already purchased an LG G3 in Metallic Black, Silk White or Shine Gold? Let us know in the comments down bellow.

US bombers drill near Korea DMZ in show of force
By AFP - Jul 08,2017 - Last updated at Jul 08,2017
This picture taken on Tuesday and released by North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency shows North Korean leader Kim Jong-un (centre) celebrating the successful test-fire of the intercontinental ballistic missile Hwasong-14 at an undisclosed location (AFP photo)
SEOUL — US bombers carried out a rare live fire drill in South Korea Saturday, flying close to the DMZ in a show of force after Pyongyang's latest missile test, the South's defence ministry said.
The exercise by two B-1B Lancers, flown from Andersen Airbase in Guam, was part of a 10-hour mission with South Korean and Japanese fighter jets in response to a "series of increasingly escalatory actions by North Korea including the intercontinental ballistic missile" on Tuesday, US Pacific Air Forces said.
South Korea's Yonhap news agency said the long-range heavy bombers flew close to the tense and heavily militarised land border with the North before turning back.
The exercise aimed to "sternly respond to the series of North Korea's ballistic missile launches," the South's air force said in a statement.
Four US and South Korean jet fighters joined the live fire drill, which was conducted at a range in Yeongwol County, some 80 kilometres south of the inter-Korean border, the South's air force said.
The long-range heavy aircraft each dropped a 900-kilogramme laser-guided bunker-busting smart bomb, Yonhap said.
The US statement said the B-1Bs released "inert" weapons at the Pilsung Range.
The drill simulated the two US bombers destroying enemy ballistic missile batteries and South Korean jets mounting precision strikes against underground enemy command posts, the South's air force said.
"Through this drill, the South Korean and US air forces demonstrated strong determination to thoroughly punish the enemy for its provocative acts, and showed off their capability to pulverise enemy command posts," it said.
Lieutenant General Thomas Bergeson, US Forces Korea deputy commander, said the mission demonstrated the allies remain "prepared to use the full range of capabilities to defend and to preserve the security of the Korean Peninsula and region".
En route back to Guam, the B-1Bs flew and integrated with Japanese fighter jets over the East China Sea, US Pacific Air Forces said in a press statement.
"The US-Japan alliance and the relationship between our militaries are stronger than they have ever been," said Lieutenant General Jerry P. Martinez, US Forces Japan commander.
"We continue to train with our Japanese allies to ensure we are ready to defend ourselves from attack", he said.
North Korea on Tuesday test-fired an intercontinental ballistic missile for the first time, an apparent game-changer in its confrontation with Washington over its nuclear and missile programmes.
In response, US and South Korean soldiers fired ballistic missiles simultaneously in a drill Wednesday, simulating an attack on the North's leadership "as a strong message of warning", the South's military said at the time.
The US Missile Defence Agency said Friday it would soon test an anti-ballistic missile system in Alaska, days after the North demonstrated its arsenal was capable of striking parts of Alaska with the ICBM test.

I received product from Swimways to help facilitate this post. Aa always, all opinions are my own.
Coming up on Saturday, May 18th is Swimways International Learn to Swim Day. This special day is dedicated to educating parents and children about water safety and the importance and benefits of learning to swim. To help celebrate, Swimways has joined up with the heroic pups from the hit animated series, PAW Patrol! And I'm excited to share some of their great lineup with you!
Are Your Kids Timid Around Water?
While it's a good thing for children to understand the dangers of water, it's not good for them to be scared. My husband and I have done a few things to ensure our kids are comfortable around water. This includes:
- Taking them to hotels as infants and spending time in the water with them.
- Wearing my infants in a water sling as we explore the water for the first few times. This helps them feel safe and secure next to me which means they relax and enjoy their time in the pool.
- We've put the kids in swimming lessons once they are 5, which is the age requirement in our town.
- Both my husband and I have worked with our kids independently in the pool to practice skills such as floating, kicks, and overall comfort.
- Having enticing water toys available helps the kids to want to get in and play.
- We also use floatation devices to ensure they stay safe while playing in the water.
Swimways Paw Patrol Lineup
To help celebrate International Learn To Swim Day, my kids have been loving their new Swimways Paw Patrol gear.
PAW Patrol Paddlin' Pups
- SwimWays PAW Patrol Paddlin' Pups are adorable character pool toys that move through the water all on their own. Simply twist the winder on the side and watch them go, no batteries required. Available at Target stores in both Chase and Skye options.
PAW Patrol Swim Trainer Life Jacket & 3D Chase & Skye Swim Trainer Life Jacket
- The PAW Patrol Swim Trainer Life Jacket from SwimWays is a U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device, designed specifically for kids. Featuring a permanent flotation in both the arms and chest which provides greater mobility. Designed with an out-of-reach adjustable back buckle that is convenient for parents and more secure for kids. These life jackets fit most children from 30#-50#. Available at Walmart (Swim Trainer Paw Patrol) and Target (3D Version).
PAW Patrol Kickboard
- These adorable kickboards are designed for kids are are made of sturdy, buoyant foam. They each feature vivid, high-intensity PAW Patrol graphics on the entire top surface of the board. Great for everyday fun at the pool or for use during swim training practice to help encourage new swimmers. You'll find these at Walmart.
PAW Patrol Swim Goggles
- Kids love goggles as they help protect eyes from splashes. And these PAW Patrol Swim Goggles from SwimWays feature the adorable Chase and Skye accents! Made with a soft construction, water-tight seal, and an adjustable head strap. Grab a pair or two at Target.
Since we actually JUST had another snow storm here this week in Minnesota, it's too cold to hit the beach yet. But we will be soon! And the kids can't way to enjoy their Swimways PAW Patrol gear when we do!

I'm a city girl turned country by my awesome husband and we have three busy boys and two darling daughters. I love spending time with my family, reading Karen Kingsbury novels, and catching up with friends while our kiddos have play dates. I'm blessed beyond measure and can't wait to see what God has in store.

I super love that these swimmers now have characters on them. That would have been so fun when my kids were little.
These are really cute products. Our grandson is two and a half and I thing they would be great for him this summer.
My kids love Paw Patrol! This is such a cute swimming fun collection, I especially love the lifejackets! Thank you so much for sharing. 🙂
These are so cute. The girls will love them. Thank you for the review.
Paw Patrol is so popular with kids! Children need to know how to swim and Paw Patrol is a great way to learn.
