After having six babies, and a lot of trial and error, I've definitely learned which baby items are my favorite, and some I wish I would have known about with baby #1! At the top of my list are basic items that make my every day a little bit easier and more manageable. They are the things I use when it comes to soothing a baby, putting them to sleep, trying to make them comfortable and happy while making dinner or taking a shower (and anything else you need to do), and trying to make traveling and going places a little less complicated. I've compiled that list for you here…my must-have baby items! If you're looking for ideas, hopefully this will be a good place to start.
The nice thing is that the majority of these items can be used from one baby to the next, so once you have the, you usually don't have to buy them again!
Every new baby needs a stack of swaddle blankets. It's probably one of the most important things to have in your nursery. Babies loved to be swaddled, and a really good blanket is worth it's weight in gold. These are the perfect size for swaddling, tucking, laying out on the floor, and wrapping. They fold up nice and neat for a diaper bag, aren't super bulky, and work well in all seasons. They're breathable, get softer when you wash them, and are just SO cozy. These blankets by aden + anais are all the rage right now, but for very good reason. P.S. They also make crib sheets !
The main reason I love this tub so much is for the mesh sling that's perfect for bathing newborns. It cradles them comfortably while you bathe them, and makes you feel much more secure when doing so. It can be nerve wracking when you're holding a tiny, slippery baby! It grows with them as they get bigger, and there's also a place to store toys, washcloths, or whatever you like!
I had a friend introduce them to me a few years ago, and I'm so glad she did! She told me that it was the only thing that helped her little baby sleep at night, and made a huge difference. I decided to check it out for myself, and I fell in love. You can swaddle their arms in or out, and the zipper is at the bottom, so it makes diaper changes a snap.
Some babies just do better with a little white noise to help soothe them to sleep, and block out disturbing noises. A white noise machine in their room can make all the difference! You can also get a White Noise app for your phone.
I always play music in my baby's room while they're going to sleep, and I also have a copy in the car. It's calming, soothing, and helps settle my babies down when they're upset. Often times it's the only thing that will calm them down, especially when we're driving in the car. I've also used Pandora on my phone–they've got some great lullaby playlists.
When you're baby is in a rear-facing carseat, it's really nice to still be able to see their cute little faces, and know what's going on. A back sear mirror is an inexpensive fix!
A waterproof mattress pad to go underneath the crib sheet is definitely a must at our house. It makes the bed a little more cozy with an extra layer, and it protects the mattress from anything that would leak through a sheet.
While there are a million different opinions out there about which baby carrier is best, I personally prefer the Boba carrier, and that's what I chose after a ton of research. I don't like wearing my babies forward facing on the front, and for that reason and a variety of others, the Boba is perfect for me. I'm just going to say that no matter which kind you get–carrier, wrap, sling, etc.–having some kind of baby carrier is very helpful. I use mine ALL the time. It's perfect for home, when you have a ton of things to do and need to be hands-free, but still hold your baby at the same time. I also use it when we're traveling, and when we're doing outdoor activities where I can't push a stroller, or where it would be easier not to. Trips to the grocery store, and other daily errands are made easier with a carrier, especially when you have other small children you're chasing after.
I didn't have a boppy until my last baby, and I really wish I would have had one with all the others too. Whether you're breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, it's just so nice to have a comfy way to hold your baby while feeding them. They can also be propped up on the pillow before they can sit up, and while they're learning to sit up.
This is another one of those items that I wish I would have had from the beginning. When I had my first set of twins, they were absolutely life-saving. Seriously. With my second set of twins, and with my last baby, they continued to be one of my favorite baby items.
I've always had a baby swing, but I didn't use it with every baby. Some of my babies loved it, and others didn't, but I was always glad to have it so I could try it with each one. After we had our boys (#4 and #5), we thought we were done having kids, and so I proceeded to get rid of all things baby. Well…that proved to be a little premature, because we were happily surprised with #6 not too soon after. I then needed to buy everything all over again, and I bought this particular baby swing, and LOVED it. Definitely my favorite of all the swings I had.
Out of all the baby items I've had, this is one that I'll keep forever. It's just one of those thing that's so helpful to have on hand–for home, traveling, and guests.
Can I tell you how much I love this booster seat? It straps onto a chair, and you can either scoot it up to the table or use the tray. It's so easy to travel with, because it folds up, and has its own tray. We take it when we go to dinner at someone else's house, when we go camping, when we travel, and at our own house. Love love it!
I really like having a diaper and wipe case separate from my diaper bag. I keep them in our cars, and it's just nice to be able to grab when you need to make a diaper change. My husband also likes taking just a small case as opposed to the whole bag when it's his turn to change the diaper!
Can I tell you how much I LOVE these? I don't like taking regular bibs with me, because then I have to back in my diaper bag all dirty. Even the wipe-off bibs can be a pain. I keep a box of these disposable bibs in my vehicle, and a couple in the diaper bag, and then I have them whenever I need them. Whether we're at a restaurant, the park, or traveling, when we're done with the bib, it gets tossed! Easy!
I buy regular sippy cups, but I love having these take & toss cups. They're durable enough for everyday use, and they go in the dishwasher just fine, but if something happens to one, I don't feel bad about throwing it away! I use them for travel, and for going in the diaper bag. They also have some with straws, if you like that better. I like these best for older toddlers–after they've already made the switch over to sippy cups and know how to use them.
Babies' noses have to be cleaned out quite often, and this nasal aspirator is non-invasive, easy-to-use, and easy-to-clean.
This might be one of the most well-used items in our house, unfortunately, but it's sure nice to have–for babies, toddlers, and kids.
I wish I would have discovered these pacifiers sooner! They're adorable, and the patented design helps them stay put, and reduces the chance of them being lost.
20. I also love the Avent Soothie Pacifier…they have been a staple at our house!
Isn't she darling? She's perfect for chewing, and for little hands to hold.
Not only does it keep little hands off of dirty shopping carts, it also makes it much more comfy if they fall asleep while shopping. They're easy to take on and off, but I do try and get a cart and bring it over to my vehicle to put it on before I take the baby out of the car. It's a lot easier to do when you have both hands. That said, I love having one of these!
I have used this bottle since my very first baby, and I still love them. Using a new liner for every bottle means the bottle is always clean–no crazy scrubbing or cleaning. I also love how easy it is to take these bottles on the go, and the liners are just tossed when you're finished. The liners also collapse as they drink, which helps to prevent air from entering your baby, and reducing colic, spit-up, etc. Love love!
A few years ago we were at Disneyworld, and one of my girls' had her legs get really chapped from all of the walking. They sent us to the nurse's office, and they recommended Aquaphor diaper rash cream. We bought some, applied it on her legs, and within hours, it had healed up incredibly quickly. It's what I've used ever since, and it has never failed me!
I've used several different brands of snack cups, and this one by OXO Tot is by far my favorite. The open part is flexible enough that they can get their hand inside, but not so flimsy that everything falls out when they do (which has happened many times before with other brands). I love having a lid that snaps on, so I never worry about anything falling out when it's inside my purse or diaper bag.
I pretty much love everything from OXO Tot (check out two other of my favorites: OXO Tot On-the-Go Feeding Spoon with Travel Case, and Stroller Hook ) , and have quite a few of their products, including these baby blocks. Sometimes I fill them with different snacks like pieces of ham, cheese, and cut-up grapes, but they can also be used to store, portion, heat, and freeze baby food. They are airtight, watertight, and leakproof. Love them!
I'd love to hear what your favorite baby items are!
Great list! As a fellow mom of six, I would have to add Mylicon. That really saved me when babies had bad gas!!
Oh, yes–Mylicon saved me with my first baby!! Fortunately I didn't need it after that, but it's awesome!
I have to back up to snot sucker. Bulb syringes are a joke, and my last baby was regularly congested. Got a snot sucker and it is fantastic. I wish I had one years ago. It seems kind of gross, but seriously, when your baby gets a cold and can't sleep for a stuffy nose, this is what you want on hand.
Thank you for this posting! My little one is quickly outgrowing the Puj tub for the sink and I needed options on what to do next!
A great list! #1, 2, 8, 9, 13 & 17 are ones that I love as well. A bouncy chair is one of my must have baby items as are Kushies burp clothes.
Be careful about putting a mirror on the seat that an infant carseat is on. In an accident the carseat is designed to flip towards the seat and cocoon the baby. If the mirror is in the way it can actually cause injury to the baby.
The nose Frieda snot sucker saved my son's life! Highly recommended! My son had RSV at 3 weeks old and this device was so helpful and kept us from being in the hospital longer. I used it long after his illness ( and he never had an ear infection)…I'm a true believer in sucking out the snot!!
I've been working on a list of Things That Are Really Good To Have When You Have Twins and I came across your post. I agree with a lot of them, though there are also quite a few that I never used or found helpful.
Double electric breast pump. I tried using a single manual pump with our oldest child, and it was horrible!
Yes, I'm a fellow twin mom – boy/girl twins who turned one last week, and they have an older brother who's nearly 3. Having two sets must be ridiculous! (I admit I'm nervous to get pregnant again, since the odds of having twins again double once you've had them….bah!) And yes, I didn't use the Snap & Go with our first, since I had a stroller I could just snap his carseat onto, but for the twins, it was a must-have – I wouldn't have been able to go anywhere on my own without it!


Juice Revolution... How we juice your life right!
In 2012 my husband and I decided to try juicing as part of a wellness journey we had embarked on. After doing our research, we went shopping for produce, dusted off our centrifugal juicer and tentatively set off on a 7-Day Juice Detox.
The first day went well, but by the second day our juicer ground to a halt! As we were committed to the journey, we went out and purchased an Angel Slow juicer. Fast forward five days, and we emerged feeling amazing – clean, lean, light, energised, with no cravings, and all from raw fruit and vegetable juices.
Knowing how much our friends and family would benefit, we started spreading the juicy word, but soon realised that equipment and time stood between them and the power of raw juice.
And hence Juice Revolution was born. Our passion is sourcing amazing produce, extracting the juice in the gentlest way possible, and making it incredibly easy for you to enjoy. We've also devised various cleansing programs, and have over 80 juices in our repertoire. Apart from the best quality juice imaginable, our distinctiveness is in the support we provide for your juice cleanse journey.
If you are going to do something, especially where your health is concerned, I believe you must do it right!
Once you're lighter and feeling amazing, you'll be so pleased you did.


Armchairs, mattresses, feet, blankets, arms, memories, mops, tubes or plastic dance, twist, fall, fly and break in this emotional choreography in which a man and his army of objects try to defeat a ghost from the past.
To be honest, I started doing it for and by myself, as a kind of therapy that helped me overcome a personal crisis. And I decided to make it into a film because I think the way the character overcomes his crisis is genuine enough to be shared with more people.
Because it's weird, funny, sad, intimate and very sincere.
A breakup, an existential crisis, are universal issues, sooner or later everyone lives one. But the way to manage it, is specific to each one, and it is there where the most personal is dealt with. In Mudanza Contemporánea, the character faces his tragedy from the most ramshackle creativity and uses that situation as a blank canvas in which to create without control. In this film feelings are mixed with objects and together they dance, spin and fight in an intimate and very particular choreography.
It wasn't a planned film, it started out as a shoot that just helped me forget. And when I realized that this material depicted a person's grief in an abstract way, I began to assemble it by putting together pieces of my relationship and filming extra footage as I needed it. A very organic process, free and personal, always alive, from start to finish.
I am very happy with the feedback, considering that it is not a film with a conventional narrative, in general people have empathised with the film and in some particular cases have been very emotional. The homemade approach and comedy make people feel very close to it, I suppose.
Yes, once the film is out there, it is no longer yours and it begins to belong to the viewer and I love that. The interpretations are triggered and each one builds it in his own way. Some people identify the character as a ghost wandering around the house or a fighter struggling against the past, others tell me it's a post-apocalyptic or science fiction film. All these options make me see the film in a different way and make it endless. For me the important thing is that people take a trip with the character and perceive his joy or pain in an intimate and sincere way, everything else is interpretable and I love it.
Once you decide to release a film, I guess what you want is for the maximum audience to see it, diverse audiences, who can enjoy it or not and give feedback. It's the good thing about the internet and platforms like these, which help to discover and give visibility to more alternative projects that don't enjoy massive advertising.
Let people connect with what is told and how everything is narrated. Like it or not, but that somehow the public understands the proposal and as far as possible, enjoy it.
The key point I guess is the form that the character adopts to represent his internal struggle and moves the viewer. Solitude and emancipation, love and dependence… Another important aspect of the film is to understand film as a way of getting to know oneself, to see oneself from the outside, as an exercise of intimate creativity, as a tool to open up and get out of a hole.
Not really, as I think that is a film that needs to be seen rather than explained.
As in Mudanza Contemporánea, I am still interested in continuing to explore human nature in its most genuine or particular forms, while at the same time I am interested in experimenting with narrative schemes and their infinite possibilities of expression. I am currently working on a documentary about a group of Catalan antique dealers and a man with a secret hobby and I would like to start a fiction in the near future.

Youths set church on fire, attack police station
Some youths in the Narayi area of Chikun local government Area of Kaduna state have set ablaze a parish of Celestial Church of Christ and a police station in the community.
The youths, it was gathered, were angered over the death of a boy whom they alleged was working in the church. They accused the parish pastor, Babatunde Shittu, of being responsible.
The boy was said to have been carrying out a task assigned to him by Shittu but fell into a river and died in the process.
The pastor reportedly ran to the nearby police outpost to report the incident.
But the youths mobilised one another burn down the church and a car belonging to a church member parked within the church premises.
The police outpost was burnt down when the youth insisted that the pastor who was taken to the Barnawa Divisional Police station for protective custody must be produced.
Mukhtar Aliyu, spokesman of the state police command, confirmed the incident, saying five suspects had been arrested.
"The youth were angry over the death of a boy, who was working as a mason with the pastor of the church," he said.
"When the incident was reported, we prevailed on the youths, and adopted civil and proactive measures to calm them," he said, adding that the police rescued the pastor and took him to the police outpost and later to Barnawa Divisional police station.
"Later the youth came around 4:00 am and set the church and part of the police outpost ablaze, " he said.
The spokesman said the command would not allow any person or group of persons to take the law into their hands.
He added that Austin Iwar, police commissioner, has ordered full investigation and prosecution of those involved.

Great Barrier Reef: Most coral now dead north of Port Douglas off far north Queensland, scientists say
By Ben Millington
Updated October 26, 2016 12:19:11

Map: Port Douglas 4871
Eighty to 100 per cent of coral reefs surrounding Lizard Island off far north Queensland are now dead as a result of coral bleaching, scientists say.
What is coral bleaching?
Occurs when abnormal environmental conditions cause coral to expel tiny photosynthetic algae, called zooxanthellae
Loss of colourful algae causes coral to turn white and "bleach"
Bleached coral can recover if the temperature drops and zooxanthellae are able to recolonise them, otherwise it may die
Source: ARC Centre of Excellence
The ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at James Cook University visited 83 reefs stretching from Townsville to the Torres Strait earlier this year and revealed the worst recorded mass bleaching event in the reef's history.
Professor Andrew Baird said researchers conducted the same survey this month and had already visited the first 50 reefs between Townsville and Lizard Island.
He said the results were confronting.
"What we're seeing now is lots and lots of dead corals," he said.
"On most of the sites around Lizard Island between 80 to 100 per cent of corals are gone — there's not much coral at all, north of Port Douglas".
Professor Baird said there was a slim chance the northern third of the Great Barrier Reef could rejuvenate, but it would depend on the health of the southern sections.
"There's still a lot of reef here which could supply the propagules for the reef up north to recover, but it's likely to take a very long time because the scale of the event around Lizard Island and further north was so large," he said.
"It will also depend on it not bleaching again, particularly in those areas that are still in good condition."
However, Professor Baird said most of the reefs surveyed off the coast of Townsville and further south were only lightly bleached and now in reasonably good condition.
"That's a positive, but with the current trajectories of carbon dioxide and ocean temperatures, there's nothing to say that those areas might not bleach as soon as next year," he said.
The researchers said the final death toll from the bleaching in the north would not be known until all surveys were completed in mid-November.
They said it was already clear that this event was much more severe than the two previous bleachings in 2002 and 1998.

In my previous topic articles, I described briefly the rise and fall of the leaders of the Esperanto movement in the USSR. First the moderates and finally even the Stalinist hard-liners were purged during the Great Terror. However, it was not only in Communist countries that Esperantists were subjected to oppression and in the next two topic articles I want to tell the story of a man who showed great courage and determination during a long period of victimization and persecution. His name is Juan Regulo Perez and I have for a long time felt that I owed him a debt of gratitude. Telling his story to the readers of this topic is a part-payment of that debt.
Much of the information about the history and development of Esperanto which I have shared with my readers since last year has been gleaned from my own collection of Esperanto literature. I am pleased with my Esperanto library and, although I wish it were five times as large, I know that had it not been for people like Regulo, as he was known to his friends, I would not have any Esperanto books at all. To see the light of day, a book really needs three things to be in place. First, and most important, there must be a writer, someone with something to say and a burning desire to share it. Second, there must be the people to for the writer to share his ideas with. And third, there must be someone with the motivation to publish and distribute those ideas. The great contribution which Regulo made to the Esperanto movement was that he published a remarkable number of high quality books and, in doing so, enabled the literary development of most of the outstanding literary figures of the Esperanto world.
As we will see, this achievement, very praiseworthy under any circumstances, was accomplished despite very difficult personal circumstances.
Juan Regulo Perez was born in 1914 and died just six years ago on the 27th of January 1993. His parent was both illiterate and lived in a tiny village in La Palma, one of the Canary Islands.
Although not a militant, and tucked away in his small island, Regulo did not escape the consequences of this period of social upheaval. At the beginning of the war he was sacked from his job and his teaching qualification was cancelled. I'll let him tell the rest of the story of what happened at this time in his own words.
"Afterwards I was imprisoned and then sent from the gaol to concentration camps, first on the Spanish mainland and then in Spanish Morocco. There I built roads and military defenses for three years of penal servitude. I never was able to find out why I was imprisoned: they simply suspected that I has left-wing tendencies and arrested me without further ado. Afterwards, they apparently forgot about me and just added me to the list of so-called enemies of the state to share in their fate. When I was set free, without a job and without my teaching qualification I decided on a university career and in addition to work to earn my daily bread because I was destitute. I thought that if I was able to get a university diploma, I would at least be able to teach privately. Afterwards, thanks to the help of some liberal university professors, I was also allowed to teach at the university, but always on a provisional contract and at an extremely low salary.
During Franco's regime, I did not have the rights of a Spanish citizen and, for example, was not allowed to apply for government jobs and so on. I suffered a great deal at that time but did not have any alternative. So, because you only live once, I founded a poor family anyway and did additional work as a printer and publisher of Spanish books because my university salary was nowhere near enough to support a family."

Home News AS Senate Approves UCSA Budget at First Meeting of 2014
AS Senate Approves UCSA Budget at First Meeting of 2014

Associated Students Beat Reporter

Associated Students Senate approved the new University of California Student Association (UCSA) budget and received an important update on containment of the meningitis spread among University of California, Santa Barbara students at its first meeting of the new year on Wednesday, Jan. 8.
The UCSA budget dictates the specific allocation of approximately $140,000 in student fees presently allotted to the association. During Wednesday's public forum, External Vice President of Statewide Affairs Alex Choate answered questions from the senators pertaining to the budget, which would be voted on later in the meeting. Collegiate Sen. Amir Khazaieli raised concerns about the budget's lack of specificity.
"Oversight is going to be very hard on this budget because the line items are very vague," Khazaieli. "They're very vague in relation and proportion to the amount of money that's being allocated."
Other senators expressed concerns regarding the allocation of stipends to UCSA board members as well as the designated conference budget. During this question-and-answer session, Choate clarified that in order to have UCSA reconfigure the current allocations, one-third of the involved associations would need to vote against it. The total fees being allocated, however, would remain the same either way.
On-Campus Sen. Kimia Hashemian felt that the Senate should pass the budget, noting that the fees would be spent regardless of the vote's outcome.
"The $140,000 is already going to be spent, no matter what," Hashemian said. "This is just a formality to get our approval for it. If we choose not to pass it, it means we're choosing to allow them to do whatever with our $140,000."
Collegiate Sen. Ali Guthy spoke on behalf of an ad hoc committee that she hopes will be able to compose a referendum that would alter the amount of student fees allocated to UCSA next year. She then put forth a motion to approve the current budget, which passed with a 15-3-2 vote.
Associate Dean of Student Life and Activities Katya Armistead gave an update on containment of the recent meningitis B outbreak that has afflicted several UC Santa Barbara students. She reported that there have been no new cases since the fourth was discovered in November, and that after a series of evaluations, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention has decided to submit an application to the Food and Drug Administration that will expedite school-wide access to the serogroup B meningococcal vaccine Bexsero, currently licensed for use in Europe, Australia, and Canada.
The vaccine was approved for use at Princeton University to control the spread of the same strain of meningitis there. It has not yet been decided what proportion of the UCSB student body will qualify as recipients of the vaccine. Armistead warns students to remain cautious despite the absence of new cases, as such outbreaks are known to persist for several months after their initial appearance.
"We continue to urge students and the campus community to be alert for symptoms of the disease and mindful of healthy habits that can help limit its spread," Armistead said.
Other presentations that evening included police chief Dustin Olson, Chancellor Henry Yang's executive assistant Diane O'Brien, and Associated Students Publications Coordinator Andrew Doerr. Additionally, Senate passed a handful of new bills and resolutions in support of endeavors such as the establishment of an Isla Vista community center and the development of the Student-Initiated Democratic Education program.

Cheech Marin Overview
Born to a police officer in Los Angeles, California, Cheech Marin was fond of music in his younger years. "As a little kid, I was a singer and recorded albums. I was always in bands—you name it, I sang it—R&B, jazz, funk, I did it all." He moved to Vancouver, Canada to avoid the draft in the States and studied art. There he met Canadian-born Tommy Chong, and the friendship would spawn a constantly-stoned hippie duo which took viewers by storm in the late 70s and early 80s. While still in... See All

Q: How do actions work in Ember Mixins? I am trying to develop my first mixin but I'm having trouble getting the actions to play nicely.
I want my controllers to be able to toggle an editing property and to set it to false when the model is saved or rolled back. So I've written a mixin to add this capability.
in myapp/mixins/editable.js:
import Ember from "ember";

export default Ember.Mixin.create({
  editing: false,

  actions: {
    toggleEditing: function() {
      this.toggleProperty('editing');
    },
    cancel: function () {
      console.log("editable mixin: cancel");
      this.set('editing', false);
      return true;
    },
    save: function () {
      console.log("editable mixin: save");
      this.set('editing', false);
      return true;
    }
  }
});

I thought this would be great as I can have consistent edit buttons in my templates like this.
in myapp/templates/sometemplate.hbs:
{{#if editing}}
  {{#if model.isDirty}}
    <button class="action-icon" {{action "cancel"}}>{{fa-icon "times" title="discard changes"}}</button>
    <button class="action-icon" {{action "save"}}>{{fa-icon "save" title="save changes"}}</button>
  {{else}}
    <button class="action-icon" {{action "toggleEditing"}}>{{fa-icon "times" title="cancel"}}</button>
  {{/if}}
{{else}}
  <button class="action-icon" {{action "toggleEditing"}}>{{fa-icon "pencil" title="edit"}}</button>
{{/if}}

...and I can control saving and cancelling in my route, something like this:
in myapp/route/someroute.js:
import Ember from "ember";

export default Ember.Route.extend({
  model: function(params) {
    return this.store.find('somemodel', params.model_id);
  },
  actions: {
    save: function () {
      console.log("route: save");
      this.modelFor('somemodel').save();
    },
    cancel: function () {
      console.log("route: cancel");
      this.modelFor('somemodel').rollback();
    },
  }
});

However, I am now confused... what happens if the save fails? How can I plumb it together so that the editing property is set to false only when the save has successfully completed?
Is there some way to access a promise from an action on the route? Am I heading in the right direction with this?

A: This is possible, but there's a little bit of weirdness. Here is a JSBin demonstrating the concept. Applied to your code, you'll have to do this:
const SomeRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
    actions: {
        save() {
            return this.modelFor('somemodel').save();
        }
    }
});

SomeRoute.reopen(EditableMixin);

export default SomeRoute;

Then, in your Mixin:
export default Mixin.create({
    actions: {
        save() {
            this._super().then(() => {
                this.set('editing', false);
            });
        }
    }
});

Note that if you apply the mixin at extend time, the super chain won't be set up correctly, so you'll have to reopen the route to apply the mixin.

Orit Martin's paintings provide a new dimension to Jewish Contemporary Art. The paintings address the relationship between opposite experiences: the transitory and the eternal, the spiritual and the concrete, the tangible and the abstract, Heaven and Earth, the digital pixel and the stroke of the brush as well as the figurative and the abstract. Orit draws her inspiration from the Kabbalah, Zohar, Chassidic texts and Jewish motifs. Her art has a universal character that gives a new visual expression to both spiritual and mystical concepts including, enlightenment, reflection, introspection and meditation. Her art deals with existential topics such as the connection between body and soul, ones place in the universe and ones place facing the world and Creator.
It has always been a challenge to perceive a spiritual concept with a concrete expression with regards to Jewish Art, however, Orit has successfully found a way to address abstract matters using tangible means. Orit Martin's drawings break through the boundaries of Judaica ornamental art towards an awareness of self reflection and advanced awareness.
Here you will find a beautiful collection of art that is available on both canvas or high quality paper.

APPEAL FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF MISISSIPPI
MR. JUSTICE ROBERTS delivered the opinion of the Court.
March 20, 1942, the Mississippi enacted a statute [Footnote 1] the title of which declares that it is intended to
Page 319 U. S. 584
secure the peace and safety of the United States and of the State of Mississippi during war, and to prohibit acts detrimental to public peace and safety. The first section, with which alone we are here concerned, provides:
"That any person who individually, or as a member of any organization, association, or otherwise, shall intentionally preach, teach, or disseminate any teachings, creed, theory, or set of alleged principles, orally, or by means of a phonograph or other contrivance of any kind or nature, or by any other means or method, or by the distribution of any sort of literature, or written or printed matter, designed and calculated to encourage violence, sabotage, or disloyalty to the government of the United States, or the State of Mississippi, or who, by action or speech, advocates the cause of the enemies of the United States, or who gives information as to the military operations, or plans of defense or military secrets of the nation or this State, by speech, letter, map, or picture which would incite any sort of racial distrust, disorder, prejudices, or hatreds, or which reasonably tends to create an attitude of stubborn refusal to salute, honor or respect the flag or government of the United States, or of the State of Mississippi, shall be guilty of a felony and punished by imprisonment in the state penitentiary until treaty of peace be declared by the United States but such imprisonment shall not exceed ten years."
At the June, 1942, term of the Madison County Circuit Court, Taylor, the appellant in No. 826, was indicted for orally disseminating teachings designed and calculated to encourage disloyalty to the government of the United States and that of the Mississippi, and for orally disseminating teachings and distributing literature and printed matter reasonably tending to create an attitude of stubborn refusal to salute, honor, and respect the flag and government of the United States and of the State of
Mississippi, and designed and calculated to encourage disloyalty to the government of the United States.
At the June, 1942, term of the Marion County Circuit Court, Betty Benoit, the appellant in No. 827, was indicted for disseminating and distributing literature and printed matter designed and calculated, and which reasonably tended, to create an attitude of stubborn refusal to salute, honor, and respect the flag and government of the United States.
At the July, 1942, term of the Warren County Circuit Court, Cummings, the appellant in No. 828, was indicted for distributing printed matter designed and calculated to encourage disloyalty to the United States government and to the State of Mississippi, and tending to create an attitude of stubborn refusal to salute, honor or respect the flag or the government of the United States and the State of Mississippi.
Demurrers and motions to quash challenging the constitutional validity of the statute were overruled. The defendants pleaded to the indictments and, after trial, were convicted. Each was sentenced to imprisonment in the state penitentiary for a term to expire at the end of the existing war, but not to exceed ten years. Appeals were perfected to the Supreme Court of Mississippi, which, by an evenly divided court, affirmed the convictions. [Footnote 2]
The appellants maintained below, and assert here, that their convictions denied them the rights guaranteed by the Fourteenth and First Amendments in that, as construed and applied to them, the Act abridges freedom of press and of speech, and is so vague, indefinite, and uncertain as to furnish no reasonably ascertainable standard of guilt.
The evidence was contradictory and conflicting, but the juries resolved the conflicts against the appellants. We
must therefore examine the questions presented on the basis of the proofs submitted by the State.
In No. 826, the prosecution offered evidence to show that Taylor, in the course of interviews with several women, the sons of two of whom had been killed in battle overseas, stated that it was wrong for our President to send our boys across in uniform to fight our enemies; that it was wrong to fight our enemies; that these boys were being shot down for no purpose at all; that the two women's sons may have thought they were doing the right thing to fight our enemies, but it was wrong; that Hitler would rule, but would not have to come here to rule; that the quicker people here quit bowing down and worshiping and saluting our flag and government, the sooner we would have peace. Books and pamphlets distributed by Taylor were placed in evidence. Certain statements in these books, said by the Supreme Court of Mississippi to be typical, are copied in the margin. [Footnote 3]
In No. 827, it was proved that the appellant Betty Benoit distributed Volume XXIII, No. 583, of a publication entitled "Consolation," which contained a reprint of an editorial from a Lewiston, Maine, newspaper commenting adversely upon the decision in Minersville School District v. Gobitis, 310 U. S. 586, and vigorously asserting that the salute of the national flag amounted to a contemptible form of primitive idol worship. The publication also contained an alleged foreign dispatch which stated that the flag salute ceremony, a daily event in French schools, originated in the Catholic schools of France; commented that the type of mind which finds satisfaction in worshiping images would also be most inclined towards various kinds of emblem worship, and added that the dispatch confirms the claim that the flag salute in the United States has been covertly pushed by the Catholic hierarchy here.
In No. 828, the State proved that the appellant Cummings distributed a book called "Children." The volume was placed in evidence. Long excerpts were read to the jury, most of which seem irrelevant to the charges in the indictment. One passage, however, appears to be that on which the prosecution especially relied. It is copied in the margin. [Footnote 4]
The appellants are all members of Jehovah's Witnesses. There is nothing in the records to indicate that, in making the statements and distributing the printed matter in question, they were communicating and teaching any doctrine in which they did not sincerely believe.
Section 1 of the Act defines six offenses. The indictments in Nos. 826 and 828 charge the commission of two of them [Footnote 5] in a single count -- (1) teaching and dissemination of printed matter designed and calculated to encourage disloyalty to the national and state governments, and (2) distribution of printed matter reasonably tending to create an attitude of stubborn refusal to honor or respect the flag or government of the United States or of the State of Mississippi. In No. 827, the single offense charged is the dissemination of literature reasonably tending to create the denounced attitude towards the flag and Government.
In West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette, post, p. 319 U. S. 624, the Court has decided that a state may not enforce
a regulation requiring children in the public schools to salute the national emblem. The statute here in question seeks to punish as a criminal one who teaches resistance to governmental compulsion to salute. If the Fourteenth Amendment bans enforcement of the school regulation, a fortiori it prohibits the imposition of punishment for urging and advising that, on religious grounds, citizens refrain from saluting the flag. If the state cannot constrain one to violate his conscientious religious conviction by saluting the national emblem, then certainly it cannot punish him for imparting his views on the subject to his fellows and exhorting them to accept those views.
Inasmuch as Betty Benoit was charged only with disseminating literature reasonably tending to create an attitude of stubborn refusal to salute, honor, or respect the national and state flag and government, her conviction denies her the liberty guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment. Her conviction and the convictions of Taylor and Cummings, for advocating and teaching refusal to salute the flag cannot be sustained.
The last mentioned appellants were also charged with oral teachings and the dissemination of literature calculated to encourage disloyalty to the state and national governments. Their convictions on this charge must also be set aside.
The statute, as construed in these cases, makes it a criminal offense to communicate to others views and opinions respecting governmental policies and prophesies concerning the future of our own and other nations. As applied to the appellants, it punishes them although what they communicated is not claimed or shown to have been done with an evil or sinister purpose, to have advocated or incited subversive action against the nation or state, [Footnote 6] or to have threatened any clear and present danger to our institutions
or our government. [Footnote 7] What these appellants communicated were their beliefs and opinions [Footnote 8] concerning domestic measures and trends in national and world affairs.
Under our decisions, criminal sanctions cannot be imposed for such communication.
The judgments are
* Together with No. 827, Benoit v. Mississippi, and No. 828, Cummins v. Mississippi, also on appeals from the Supreme Court of Mississippi.
[Footnote 1]
Chap. 178, General Laws of Mississippi, 1942.
194 Miss. 1, 59, 74; 11 So. 2d 663, 683, 689.
"All nations of the earth today are under the influence and control of the demons. . . . All the nations suffer the same fate or come to the same end, because all nations of earth are on the wrong side -- that is, on the losing side. All of such nations are against the Theocratic Government -- that is, the government of kingdom of Almighty God . . . , and all are under the control of the invisible host of demons. . . ."
"But to compel people to salute a flag or any other image is wrong, and particularly if that person believes on God and Christ Jesus. For the Christian to salute a flag is in direct violation of God's specific commandment."
"Almighty God commands that they must remain entirely neutral in the controversy. Because his covenant people are servants and representatives of The Theocracy, they must hold themselves entirely aloof from warring factions of this world."
"Non-Christians may salute the flag without reference to the foregoing rules. Those who are real conscientious Christians are in a class entirely different from others of the world. Jehovah's witnesses are Christians, and in a covenant to be entirely obedient to God's law. They must teach their children and admonish them to obey God's law, as he has commanded. They are conscientious, and they sincerely believe that for them to indulge in the formalism or ceremony of saluting any flag is a violation of God's specific commandment. . . ."
In its opinion, the court added:
"Other passages in this literature teach that 'the so-called democracies' hold out no hope of peace, security, life, or happiness -- that the only place of safety is in Theocracy; that, if there is a conflict between state law and what Jehovah's witnesses conceive to be Jehovah's law, the state law should not be obeyed; that Jehovah's witnesses take a pledge not to salute the flag, and that to undertake by law to force a child to salute the flag is to 'frame mischief by law.'"
"Satan knows that his time is short, and therefore he is desperately trying to turn all persons, including the children, against God. (Revelation 12:12, 17.) Therefore, Satan influences public officials and others to compel little children to indulge in idolatrous practices by bowing down to some image or thing, such as saluting flags and hailing men, and which is in direct violation of God's commandment. (Exodus 20:1-5.) That is why, in the last few years, rules are made and enforced in the public schools compelling children of the Jonadabs, who are in a covenant to do God's will, to indulge in the idolatrous practice of flag-saluting and hailing men. It is the influence of that subtle foe, the Devil, that has brought about this state of affairs, and now Satan's agents cause great persecution to be brought upon the parents and the children who insist on obeying the commandments of God. This makes the way of both parents and children more difficult, but, at the same time, it puts a test upon them, and affords them the opportunity to prove their faith and obedience and to maintain their integrity towards God and his King."
There is no charge in any of the indictments of (1) preaching, teaching, dissemination of teachings, or distribution of written or printed matter designed or calculated to encourage violence or sabotage; (2) advocacy, by action or speech, of the cause of the enemies of the United States; (3) the giving of information as to military affairs; (4) incitement of racial disturbances, disorder, prejudice or hatred.

Legendary Gulf Coast Coach George Sekul: Gone, But Not Forgotten

PERKINSTON — Legendary Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College player and coach George Sekul, whose Bulldogs teams won two national titles and more than 200 games, died Monday at home in D'Iberville surrounded by his family. He was 83.
"Coach Sekul is probably the best-known coach in Gulf Coast history and has made a huge impact on the lives of former players, current students and employees of this institution," said Dr. Mary S. Graham, MGCCC president. "His legacy is one of athletic excellence, outstanding coaching skill and whole-hearted devotion to both MGCCC and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. He inspired generations of student-athletes and has left us with many fond memories. We are deeply sorrowed by this great loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time."
Sekul is survived by his wife Diane and three daughters: Gia, Kari and Michelle. He has six grandchildren. Funeral arrangements are incomplete and will be handled by Bradford-O'Keefe Funeral Home.
His legend still casts a long shadow in Perkinston, where the playing surface at A.L. May Memorial Stadium was dedicated as George Sekul Field in 2017 just yards from where his two national title squads are commemorated on monuments in front of the King Center.
Steven George Sekul was born Oct. 5, 1937, in Biloxi where he grew up in one of Point Cadet's Yugoslavian seafood families. He was a standout player at Notre Dame High School in football and basketball, as well as excelling in American Legion baseball.
His association with Gulf Coast started in 1955 when he enrolled at what was then Perkinston Junior College. Sekul was a first-team All-State selection by the Mississippi Association of Junior Colleges at quarterback in the 1956 season, as well as earning All-American honorable mention honors.
In 1957-58, Sekul was the starting quarterback at Mississippi Southern College (now Southern Miss), where he was also a punter, kick returner and defensive back. His three interceptions in a game are still tied for second-best in USM history. The Golden Eagles had the school's only undefeated, untied season in 1958. They went 9-0, earning the UPI College Division National Championship, and Sekul went on to play in the 1959 Senior Bowl.
He stayed in Hattiesburg as a coach the next two seasons and earned his master's in educational administration.
Sekul moved back to Perkinston in the summer of 1961 when head coach Ed Evans offered him the position of backfield coach. He also took over as head track coach, and the Bulldogs won the first of his five state championships that season (1962, 1968, 1970, 1979, 1980).
After four years as an assistant, Sekul became head football coach in 1966, and the Bulldogs won the first of his eight state championships (1966, 1967, 1971, 1974, 1980, 1982, 1984, 1986) right out of the gate by going 10-2 after winning the Shrine Bowl 21-7 over Navarro in Corsicana, Texas.
After repeating as state champion in 1967, Sekul's Bulldogs won the school's second national championship in 1971. Their 11-0 season culminated in a 22-13 win over Fort Scott Junior College in the NJCAA Championship Game played at the Shrine Bowl in Savannah, Ga.
Gulf Coast would win Sekul his second national title in 1984, going 13-0. The Bulldogs beat Harford Community College 21-7 in the East Bowl in Bel Air, Md.
When Sekul retired after the 1991 season, he did so with a 201-80-5 record (.712 winning percentage) during his 26 years in charge. He remains the fifth-winningest coach in NJCAA history.
After his retirement, he was an active member of Gulf Coast's Bulldog Club.
Sekul was inducted into USM's M-Club Hall of Fame in 1968 and the NJCAA Football Coaches Hall of Fame in 1996. MGCCC inducted him into the school's Athletic Hall of Fame in the first class of 1999, and he was inducted into the Alumni Hall of Fame in 2000. In 2002, Sekul was inducted into the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame.

Q: How can I tell if Religious Tolerance is working? In Brave New World, the Piety social policy tree has a new policy called 'Religious Tolerance'. How do I tell if my civilization is getting the benefit of Religious Tolerance and how can I tell what that bonus is?

A: You can see what the popularity of the different religions are in a city by mousing over the city, and you can see what the effect should be by looking up that religion's Pantheon belief in the religion overview.
I've not seen the benefit in practise yet (I've got Religious Tolerance but the Pantheons of the relevant religions affect resources that I don't have near my cities).


With escalating urbanization, the environmental, demographic, and socioeconomic heterogeneity of urban landscapes poses a challenge tomathematical models for the transmission of vector-borne infections. Classical coupled vector-human models typically assume that mosquito abundance is either independent from, or proportional to, human population density, implying a decreasing force of infection, or per capita infection rate with host number. We question these assumptions by introducing an explicit dependence between host and vector densities through different recruitment functions, whose dynamical consequences we examine in a modified model formulation. Contrasting patterns in the force of infection are demonstrated, including in particular increasing trends when recruitment grows sufficiently fast with human density. Interaction of these patterns with seasonality in temperature can give rise to pronounced differences in timing, relative peak sizes, and duration of epidemics. These proposed dependencies explain empirical dengue risk patterns observed in the city of Delhi where socioeconomic status has an impact on both human and mosquito densities. These observed risk trends with host density are inconsistent with current standard models. A better understanding of the connection between vector recruitment and host density is needed to address the population dynamics of mosquito-transmitted infections in urban landscapes.


THAI BINH (VNS) — Viet Nam Oil and Gas Group (PetroVietnam) held a ceremony yesterday to inaugurate a system collecting and distributing natural gas from Ham Rong and Thai Binh fields in Thai Binh Province.
Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai urged PetroVietnam to continue providing gas for the system while building more infrastructure to support the northern gas industry, and directing contractors to complete the project as soon as possible. PetroVietnam Gas Joint Stock Corporation (PV Gas) invested nearly US$92 million in the two fields' distribution and collection system.
PetroVietnam had focused on natural gas exploration over the past few years and would help Viet Nam become an energy-exporting country, he said.
Hai asked PetroVietnam to improve fire and explosion prevention efforts, and hold more training courses to prepare staff for any incidents. Local authorities also needed to work with ministries and businesses to develop the gas energy industry.

If you have a bank account, than you know the financial responsibility you have of keeping money in it. In today's tough economical times, sometimes even keeping $50 in your checking account can be somewhat of a challenge. However, a bank account also comes in handy when you need to pay bills and just need to keep track of your money. There are also downsides to having a bank account: such as monthly fees, and overdraft charges. Overdraft charges can cost you big time, and were not talking a few dollars, were talking double digits, and it usually isn't a one-time fee, either. When you compare overdraft fees versus payday loan fees, you'll see the lesser of the two evils.
Money Needs to be Deposited Immediately – Overdraft fees can be upward of $39–and were not talking about a one-time charge. That's $39 every single day that your account is in the negative!
You're Charged Every Day Your Account is in the Negative – In other words, if you fail to bring your account to a zero balance for 5 days that's $195 that you'll pay in overdraft fees alone. So you'll need to get money somehow and bring your account current.
Some Banks May Allow a One-Time Exception – While some banks may allow a one-time exception and wave all overdraft fees each bank is different, so you'll need to check with your bank about what their overdraft policy is. Even if you are charged a one-time fee of $39, that amount is usually a lot more than most payday loan fees.
You Are Given a Due Date – With payday loans, you have until your next pay day to come up with the money. While the due date varies according to the payday loan service you use, the company you borrow money from discloses this information in the contract you sign.
Only Charged a One Time Fee – Unlike banks that can get away with overcharging you for overdraft fees, with payday loans you are only charged 15 to 20 percent of the amount of the loan. Therefore, if you take out a loan of $100, you're charged an additional fee of $15 or $20 on top of the money you borrow.
However, you'll want to make sure you read the fine print. Most payday loan services will charge you additional fees if you do not pay your payday loan back by the due date. To avoid further fees, make sure you pay it on time.
As you can see, there are many advantages to payday loans versus overdraft fees. Instead of always cutting into your overdraft and paying enormous fees for a few dollars that your account is negative, you may want to use payday loan services as an alternative. You'll save money on your overdraft fees and have time to pay back the money you borrowed.


Apraxia can interfere with communication.
Apraxia and autism are two distinct conditions that share some similarities. In some cases, individuals are diagnosed with a pervasive developmental disorder as well as apraxia. Both conditions significantly interfere with an affected individual's ability to communicate.
Motor involves movements in the hands or the entire body.
Verbal involves the muscle movements necessary for speech.
Oral involves movements not associated with speech and articulation such as puckering the lips or sticking out the tongue.
Developmental apraxia is present at birth and it seems to affect fewer girls than boys. Typically, the child has delayed speech problems followed by normal speech over time. Some may refer to the condition as verbal dyspraxia.Acquired apraxia appears later in life, mostly in adults, but it can occur in people of any age. There seem to be direct causes for the acquired form of the condition.
Aphasia is speech problems occurring as a result of nervous system damage.
Dysarthria is speech problems occurring as a result of weak muscles.
The symptoms of apraxia are somewhat similar to some of the signs of autism.
A family history of learning problems and speech and language problems are often apparent. People who have apraxia have difficulty putting syllables and sounds together to form words. Sometimes the individual is able to articulate a word or sound correctly one moment but is unable to do so the next.
The symptoms of the motor condition vary in severity, with the most severe cases requiring augmentative methods of communication.
Apraxia and autism can occur in the same person, making the conditions very challenging. When a person has an autism spectrum disorder, she experiences marked impairments in social interaction as well as problems with processing sensory input. Aspergers syndrome and some cases of PDD NOS do not experience delays in language development.
Apraxia interferes with the planning necessary for voluntary movements. There may be an interference between the brain's plan to carry out a physical task and the messages sent to the muscles in the body that are supposed to carry out the task. The interference can affect gross and fine motor skills as well as speech patterns.
The differences between autism spectrum disorders and apraxia are the absence of a need for order and routine as well as lack of social impairment in individuals who are diagnosed with apraxia. However, the condition can interfere with the person's ability to interact with others due to the difficulties in motor functioning and speech. Proper screening is necessary to determine whether more testing is necessary to find out if an individual has a co-morbid condition of apraxia and ASD.
Screening is one of the first stages of assessment. The physician observes the child and parents answer questions about their child's development. Screenings do not result in a formal diagnosis; they merely determine whether further testing is necessary or not. The Center of Disease Control and Prevention offers information about screening tools as well as how to use developmental screening tools.

Yeah yeah yeah I know she started on a TV show but that show aired overseas. It's the internet that really launched her here in the United States.
I'm amused and strangely happy that she is selling so many CDs. I googled her last night and ended up on some message board and I got a kick out of people being so upset that she is doing so well. They blamed it on the old people who are too stupid to download her album for free and they are ashamed that America's old people haven't caught up with the rest of the world and they should be stealing music like all the other country's old people. Meanwhile their avators have pictures of Rihana and Beyonce and and other divas - female and male LOL.
What I find ironic is that old people somehow figured out how to use the internet to make her that worldwide sensation. I'm sure Ms. Boyle was floating around in many an ipod before her album came out as well. Maybe people just like a good voice without all the bells and whistles.
Anyway, she's sold 1.2 million in two weeks and is scheduled to sell another 600k this week. How far can she go? 3 million by the end of the year? I think so...because there are some good shopping weeks left and this appears to be the gift dujour this year.
I still never got around to listening to those snippets. I hate snippets though so I'll probably just watch her tv special this weekend.

Hi Couchie!
I know I've only heard Susan sing that one song that was from the show she was on. I watched it on U-Tube. I did enjoy it. Haven't heard anything else she's sung so don't have an opinion on her other stuff. I waffled about buying the album... don't have it... yet. We'll see.
But good for her! I think it definitely says something other than everyone buying it is old or too stupid to download for free. A whole lot of people still don't think it's right to steal.
I think that a lot of people still like a person with a good voice, singing a song with a good melody and they can actually understand the words and, to me, that has a lot to do with her CD selling so well.
I say "you go girl!" I hope she sells a whole buttload more!! I'd laugh ALOT if she sold 3 million by year end!
My guilty pleasure is Glee and I've bought both soundtracks - physical CDs, no less. I enjoy listening to them. They're fun, I can understand all the words, the singing is good and I know most of the songs.
And you know, I'm sure kids would think I'm old and yet I do know how to download for free. I just choose not to. I like a song, I buy it. I guess I'm just from a different generation.

You're exactly right, Couchie and Spikes. I'm happy for Susan Boyle too coz you don't have to look like a model to be a good singer, like Elton John back in the 70s, who looked like an anonymous accountant without the costumes and fancy glasses. Talent is talent.
I've learned a lot of new stuff about computers and downloading montages fans have done to Clay's songs, but I still believe you should pay for music and not just steal it for free. And what you said, Spikes, "I can understand all the words, the singing is good" is precisely what my daughter in college said when she heard Clay's music. I even took her along to 2 of the shows I saw during the Not-A-Tour, and we had a blast!
God, I miss him. I miss US, too -- the fandom was such a trip when we were all freshly gaga, and Clay was touring all over the place. I hope and pray that he gets back where he belongs -- on a stage in front of ME!!!

I guess I qualify as an old fart because I did buy Susan's cd.
I really like most of it, but a very strange thing happened. I am NOT a fan of religious or inspirational music and there are a couple of hymns on the cd. First time around (yeah, I tend to just let a cd play, I don't skip tracks or randomize) I didn't like them and thought they really dragged, but I found one of the tunes that got totally stuck in my head was "How Great Thou Art". For days, I'd find myself humming it.
At the same time that I bought that, I bought Pete Seeger's remastered "Live in '65 Concert". I used to be a folkie back in the day. It includes a lot of Pete's between-song patter and one of the things he talks about is how a good tune never goes away. He sings some examples of the same tune adapted by different musical traditions.
Anyway, after listening to three cds full of real tunes and real lyrics it made me focus on why I usually hit the mute button on most vocal performances on TV. And I understand why a hymn that has stood the test of time with an engaging tune can become an earworm.

I think it is wonderful that Susan continues to sell well, there is a market for a great voice. Who cares how she got started - and she has been singing all her life, just found the audience a little later than most.
Lilyshine, I hear ya about the earworm thing - one of the reasons I like song compilations from TV shows is that (usually after I listen straight through twice) I find singers I never would have picked on my own. Still love A2 (Sopranos, that whole first CD is pretty good). I did listen to more from the True Blood guy - I wanna Do Bad Things with You - but don't like his other more country stuff, and I guess this song was reworked quite a bit for the show, whereas the A2 song was added later in the process, as it was, because one of the producers had the CD playing in his car and thought the song was perfect.
I read that the new Bob Dylan Christmas CD has grown on people after the second or third listen. I love him anyway, but I know what they mean, and hope to get that CD at some point. (All profits go to charity). Some people just cannot stand his voice, but I consider that for most of his songs, no one else does them real justice or even phrases them as well.
I think that Cowell has managed Susan just fine, considering how unready she may have been for the "big time", and I am already very curious as to where her next CD will take her. I hope she will not be in any sort of niche, like show tunes or hymns, she will just sing what she likes. IMO.
I read a scathing review of Susan's voice written by a broadway singer, and the comments were interesting - pretty much all said oh you are just jellus, and others said hey, music is subjective, get used to it. Very mean-spirited review, reminded me of Idol reviews and comments about how they had not "earned" the popularity.

Hi, I don't really post here but I get the alerts in email about new discussions and wanted to weigh in on this one. I bought Susan's cd too and I like it a lot. I wouldn't actually skip any tracks but Daydream Believer doesn't really do it for me, maybe because I never much liked it in the first place, but How Great Thou Art really shines for me. What I love about Susan is that she LOVES to sing. Reminds me of our singer man. She has a joy in her singing. I know she is still nervous about singing on TV but hopefully that will pass. I have great hopes she will come here to Edmonton and sing at our Winspear Centre, but perhaps she is already too big for that based on sales. Paul Potts, the operatic British winner has been here twice and sold out (not to me though) so I was hopeful about Susan. I would love to go see Susan.
I think her sales and the demographic have probably been a big shock to the record companies. The great ignored, that's us. Well, we have obviously stood up to be counted! Just like we did when Clay's cd came out but obviously they got it wrong then, perhaps now they will get it right. I bought my first record when I was 8, got my first tape recorder at 11 and I am 58 now and have never outgrown buying and recording. There are plenty of people like me who don't want crotch grabbing male and female skanky hos who for the most part can't sing. We want quality. Clay is pure quality. Susan is quality too. I really hope that Susan's success will be helpful to Clay, perhaps radio will take more notice of us, and our Buying Power now!

I liked the first time I saw her perform, but I have since seen other clips of IDAD and so have other favorites for that song.
spikesmom, You know I watched the first episode of Glee but didn't like it that much so never watched it again. I regret that so will probably try again with rerun or when it comes to DVD. Everybody I know seem to enjoy it.
Cognitogirl - also miss the touring. Hopefully the new year will bring some new fun stuff.
Lillygirl - I didn't realize she had religious songs on the album. I cant' even begin to count the number of times I heard How Great Thou Art growing up. I have set my DVR to tape her special on TVG channel today.
Bob Dylan has a Christmas album? heee Why can't I imagine it.
Do you recommend another vesion Scarlett.
ETA: Finally listened to the snippets and loved enough to buy the album at some point before Xmas. Favorites: Wild Horses (the song from the commercial that was blowingme away), I Dreamed a Dream, and You'll See.
watched her special... and now that Wild Horses is stuck in my head. It's a breathtaking song.
Anyway, I should have taped it so I could fast forward through Simon Cowell. Forgot how much I can't stand him. I don't think I've heard him speak for about 4 years..hopefully I can get through another 4 years before hearing it again. LOL
And even though it will put money is his pocket I will jump on the bandwagon and buy the album. I hope she survives the fame.

I saw the special too. Really enjoyed it. They showed some of her natural personality and even Simon seemed a bit in awe of her. Loved all the songs. She really does have a special voice, like that guy we know. Guess I'll be buying her album.
Dang!!! Susan sold another 582,724	this week, a +14% jump, Andrea Bocelli sold another 391,686 too.
Here she is at 22, singing I Don't Know How to Love Him, in a pub contest - really really amazing. IMO.
Terrible horrible nasty bad awful band, but she shines through. Not as polished sounding, but I can hear the talent.

Some of you saw this a few days ago on the TV Guide channel. I don't get that so I searched You Tube for it.
Here is the Susan Boyle Story in 5 parts, about 9 mins each, in very good quality. I really enjoyed it and loved seeing her sing, especially with Elaine Page.
Here are the links if you are interested:

Thanks for the links..my sister wanted to see it but missed it.
And the train keeps pushing..she's expected to sell another 500-600K next week. She's smokin' everybody.
It will be interesting to see how she does after Xmas. I think she will continue to do well even after gift giving season.


In Hollywood, the foley artist creates sound effects for the movies to replace or enhance the actual sounds captured during filming. Sometimes this means giant explosions, but more often it's the sounds of everyday life: footsteps, the rubbing of clothes against each other, the opening and closing of doors, and so on. The foley artist considers their work a success if no one notices it, and by that measure, MIT has created an artificial intelligence that does successful foley work. Researchers at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) developed a machine-learning algorithm that can predict sounds to accompany a silent video clip.

International Students Long for College Experience and People More than Degree

University College Dublin (UCD) is considered Ireland's largest international university. It is home to over 6,000 international students that make up 29% of the student population, according to then most recent registration figures. Each International student that decides to attend UCD has unique experiences throughout their college career as they navigate not only trying to receive a degree from a highly competitive university, but deal with moving to an entirely different country, most often completely by themselves.

Q: Declare and change global variable in Angular? I develop an Angular app based on .NET Core and I want to create a global variable for countries by using a DropdownList so that the global value can be changed easily. Then access this global value (selected country) through all of the other pages. Normally I would use the following approach, but I have really no idea how should I modify the following approach so that the user can set the global filter value (selected country) at any time.
globals.ts:
export const version: string="22.2.2";

heroes.component.ts:
import * as myGlobals from 'globals';

export class HeroesComponent implements OnInit {
public heroes: Hero[];
public selectedHero: Hero;

// Here we access the global var reference
public helloString: string="hello " + myGlobals.version + " there";

     ...

    }
}

However, I have no idea how can I set this global value by using this approach or is there any approach for this. Is there any proper way for this?
Shall I add a dropdownlist to globals.ts and update the version whenever user select the version on this dropdownlist?
Is using a service with BehaviourSubject the best option for fixing this issue?

A: You can use html5 storage its allow up to 5mb
set value : localStorage.setItem(keyname, value)
get value : localStorage.getValue(keyname, value)
