Kelly RowlandGets Really Raw in her New Book About Pregnancy
So actress and TV cooking show host Tia Mowry wrote "Oh Baby". Celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels penned "Yeah Baby". The new celebrity to come out with a book about pregnancy for the first time is multi-Grammy winning artist Kelly Rowland.
Her book, "Whoa, Baby!: A Guide for New Moms Who Feel Overwhelmed and Freaked Out (and Wonder What the #*$& Just Happened)" written with her OB/GYN of 10 years Dr. Tristan Bickman went on sale on Tuesday, April 11.
In it, Rowland shares her candid reactions to pregnancy and motherhood; and dealing with all the surprises that you're never prepared for until you experience it first hand, even if you read about it before in a book.
The Voice Australia coach discussed the book with USA Today and how she too was duped by the perfect magazine covers with the facade celebs who were fit and trim weeks after giving birth.
The former Destiny's Child band member wrote: "I just saw a cover that I did for Shape and then I'm looking in the mirror going, 'Oh, my god this is not the same body. How did this happen?' And, I had to just keep reminding myself that, 'You had a baby, Kel.' But I was hard on myself. I really was."
And in the interview as with the book, the mom to 2-year old son Titan doesn't hold back. Nothing's off the table. Incontinence, vaginal tearing, check! and check!
In the book, she referred to herself looking at her lady parts in the mirror after giving birth"the world's worst idea!"
Your vajayjay does not look the same for a very long time," she told openly shared, noting that a friend told her that her husband wouldn't care. "'But, I care about it.' We go to get it all done up and trimmed and waxed and this and that and it's all swollen and crazy and you're just wondering what just happened?"
It's a very raw discussion in the book, it seems. She also talks mom guilt and more. Check out the full interview HERE!

Jillian Michaels' New Book Tackles Pregnancy Misconceptions (REVIEW)
When Jillan Michaels and her partner, Heidi, were expecting their first child together, Michaels did a lot of research and educating herself on the baby-making and incubating process, and through that experience, the TV personality discovered that a lot of pregnant women are being under-informed on their choices and options.
The exploration prompted the The Biggest Loser alum to pen a book and use her expertise as a celebrity trainer and nutritionist to add another reference option and voice into the fray.
Michaels, who is mom to 5-year old daughter Lukensia and 3-year old son Phoenix, recently released her latest book,"Yeah Baby! The Modern Mama's Guide to Mastering Pregnancy, Having a Healthy Baby, and Bouncing Back Better than Ever."
In this meaty 350+ page book, Michaels aims to help enrich the unborn baby by making sure mom is educated on ways to eat properly, exercise adequately and avoid the toxins and other hidden dangers and misconceptions floating out there in the interwebs while she is pregnant.
The book is part information handbook, part autobiographical experience and part friendly resource and written from the New York Time's Best Seller's perspective as she did some researching and digging to uncover some truths about the pregnancy experience. There are sections dedicated to various experts and doctors she and Heidi consulted while on their journey to baby.
The team of experts that contributed to the book include:
Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz, MD is an Ob-Gyn, a Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist, and board certified in Integrative and Holistic Medicine.
Andrea Orbeck is a PregnancyFitness Specialist who holds an advanced degree in Kinesiology and Intracellular Physiology.
Katja VanHerle, MD is one of America's Top Physicians in Endocrinology as named by Consumer Research Council of America.
Cheryl Forberg, RD is an award-winning registered dietitian, chef, and New York Times bestselling author.
Jay Gordon, MD, FAAP is a pediatrician who specializes in infant nutrition and breastfeeding.
Together, the author team, help new moms navigate the hidden dangers in their immediate environment; understand the check-ups, tests, and treatments a doctor recommends; and provides powerful solutions for all issues, from heartburn and swollen feet to more serious medical concerns. Also, readers learn how to optimize every facet of their child's development, from IQ and long-term earning potential to future level of physical fitness and even taste preferences! Yeah Baby! also features a complete meal plan with delicious, nutrition-packed recipes, and a one-of-a-kind, trimester-specific fitness program, to ensure you bounce back stronger and better than ever.
Our reader reviewer, Amy, a first-time mom-to-be told us she thought the tone and pace of the book was right on point. It is conversational and not full of too many medical jargon and terminology that can confuse a reader.
"It was like having periodic chats with a girlfriend, " Amy says of the flow and content of Hey Baby! That's a plus. While Amy was aware of some of the insights and suggestions that Michaels offers in this book, she said she certainly appreciated getting her information corroborated.
Her favorite part was the portions of the book where Michael dispels myths related to what pregnant women can and cannot eat. A lot of the modern wisdom is outdated and untested, Amy agrees with Michaels' assessment.
While we recommend everyone does what's best for their personal situation and consult their own doctor, midwife or practitioner, we still think it's a breath of fresh air to check out and check into Michael's sojourn and digest her no-holds-bard approach to telling it like it is. '
Amy is also looking forward to implementing some of the tips Michaels offers for peeling off the excess weight gain from pregnancy. The steps seem doable and because she knows what Michaels can do, based on the amazing transformations of Biggest Loser contestants, Amy's even more excited to put the book into action!
Good stuff! A very worthwhile read! You can get it at Amazon.com for just $13.85 for the paperback!

DOMA: 13 Gay Celebrity Parents and their Children
June 27, 2013 by Jeneba Jalloh Ghatt
Well in light of today's landmark US Supreme Court decision overruling the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and enabling Gays who are married in states that recognize gay marriage to receive federal benefits, we thought we'd reshare and update our very popular 2010 post listing gay celebrities that are parents.
Above How I Met Your Mother actor Neil Patrick Harris and his partner/spouse David Burtka with their twins, Gideon Scott and Harper Grace joined Elton John and his longtime partner David Furnish with their son Zachary on a cruise along the Italian Mediterranean in 2011.
Jillian Michaels and her partner Heidi Rhoades are parents to Michaels adopted daughter Lukensia and the couple's daughter via donor Phoenix.
Ricky Martin with his twin boys
Clay Aiken naturally fathered a friend Jaymes Foster's son.
Sykes and her wife Alex have fraternal twins: daughter Olivia Lou and son Lucas Claude.
The Sex and the City star has two children and has been in relationship with a woman for several years after splitting with her husband.
Gilbert and her partner Allison Adler have two children together. Both were conceived with the aid of a sperm donor.
Etheridge has been a gay rights activist since the early 1990s. She has children from two different lesbian relationships: Bailey Jean, 11, Beckett, 9 ½, and twins Johnnie Rose and Miller Steven, 22 months,
Wong, an openly gay actor, has three children, one of whom died shortly after birth. Wong wrote a book about the experience called Following Foo: the electronic adventures of The Chestnut Man.
Mary Cheney,
Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, has a child with her partner Heather Poe. (baby is seen with her grand parents)
Rosie O'Donnell
O'Donnell and her ex partner are parents to three adopted children and one child who was conceived through artificial insemination. The kids are pictured from left: daughter Chelsea, born in 1997; son Parker, born in 1995; son Blake, born in 1999; and daughter Vivienne, a biological child born to Carpenter in 2002.
Cat Cora
Celebrity chef Cora and her partner, Jennifer Cora, were pregnant at the same time with their third and fourth children. The same sperm donor was used in all four pregnancies and each woman was implanted with the other's fertilized egg.
And these are just the openly gay ones! I would imagine there are a lot of closeted celebs raising their blessings too. ha! I crack myself up!

Jillian Michaels & partner welcome baby boy & adopted Haitian daughter
Congratulations to Jillian Michaels and her partner Heidi Rhoades! The couple welcomed a son, who Rhoades gave birth to named Phoenix, on May 3 within the same week that Michaels' adoption of a young gorgeous Haitian girl Lukensia came through.
"We're swimming in babies over here," Michaels told People magazine. "I don't even answer email. I don't have time to care about anything else. I want to be really present and enjoy all the nuances of their growth and development. I don't want to rush any of it."
Good attitude! God Bless!
Recall, Michaels caught some heat a little while back when she said she did not want to give birth to ruin the body she worked so hard for before later revealing her plans last December to adopt a Haitian child.

Home > Annie's Arboretum > Charlotte Despard
Charlotte French was born in Ripple, Kent on 15 June 1844. She was the daughter of an Irish captain in the Royal Navy. Her father died when she was ten and her mother was institutionalised in a mental asylum. Charlotte moved to London to live with relatives.
After finishing school, she toured the continent with her sisters. In 1870, she married Maximilian Despard. The marriage was a happy one. Maximilian supported his wife's literary pursuits and Charlotte wrote ten novels, seven of which were published, between 1874 and 1890. Charlotte was distraught after her husband's death when she was 46.
A wealthy, childless widow, Charlotte took up charitable works. She set up health clinics, youth and working men's clubs and organised soup kitchens in Battersea, living above one of her 'welfare shops' in Nine Elms. She also converted to Roman Catholicism.
She became friends with Eleanor Marx and was a delegate to the Second International. She also supported the Independent Labour Party, forging links with George Lansbury and Keir Hardy. A pacifist, she campaigned against the Boer War.
Charlotte joined the NUWSS but was attracted to the more radical WSPU which she joined in 1906 at the age of 62. She was imprisoned twice in Holloway. This however, was short lived. She opposed the Pankhursts' move to create a more autocratic leadership in 1907, and, along with a group of influential suffragettes, left to create the Women's Freedom League (WFL) which had a membership of around 4,000 in sixty branches across Britain.
Charlotte developed a number of passive resistance techniques, including women chaining themselves to railings and established the tax resistance campaign. As a result of not paying taxes, Charlotte's furniture was seized. She met Gandhi in 1909 who influenced her passive resistance techniques. Around 100 WFL members were jailed, but their protests were non-violent, and they opposed the WSPU's increasingly violent techniques, particularly arson. In 1908, Charlotte formed the Irish Women's Franchise League.
During World War I, along with Kate Harvey, Charlotte worked with refugee women and children. As a pacifist, she refused to support the war, to the embarrassment of her brother John, who was a Field Marshal and Chief of the General Staff, touring the country to speak against conscription. In 1918, she was selected as the Labour candidate for Battersea North but was defeated on account of her pacifist views.
Charlotte planted her tree in Eagle House on 17 January 1911.
After World War I, Charlotte moved to Ireland, and worked with Maud Gonne and others to support Republican prisoners, to the embarrassment of her brother who was now Lord Lieutenant. She was classified as a dangerous subversive in 1927, at the age of 83.
In the 1930s, Charlotte toured the Soviet Union which resulted in her joining the Communist Party. In 1933, her home in Dublin was burned down by anti-communists.
She died, on 10 November 1939, aged 95, at her home in Belfast and is buried in Dublin.
"I have seen great days, but this is the greatest. I remember when we started twenty-one years ago, with empty coffers… I never believed that equal votes would come in my lifetime. But when an impossible dream comes true, we must go on to another. The true unity of men and women is one such dream. The end of war, of famine - they are all impossible dreams, but the dream must be dreamed until it takes a spiritual hold." Charlotte Despard, on women winning the vote.

It is always fun and exciting when a friend or family member has a new baby. It is even more exciting to get to meet the sweet, little bundle of joy. When you go to the home of the new parents, it is politically correct to bring a small gift with you. Some people wonder, "what should I bring?", "what do they need?". I am here to give you that answer, as well as other helpful suggestions.
The number one item to bring along when meeting a baby for the first time is clothing. Clothes are something that a baby cannot have too much of. In the first year of their lives the grow rapidly, going through new sizes like crazy. When you buy clothes, make sure you know how big the baby is. Baby clothes go by weight and length, so you do not want to get a 9 pound baby newborn sized clothes because they will be too small since newborn only goes up to 8 1/2 pounds. My son was an 8 pound baby and after I had him, someone bought me a newborn sized onesie; they obviously did not know much about sizing information, so I think it is important to get that message out there. You can also get them clothes for the next season in a size or two larger than the size they are currently wearing. You can figure out the size you need by estimating when the child will be able to fit in them clothes and add 2 pounds per month, since the average newborn grows at a rate of 2 pounds per month For example, if it is January and the newborn is 7 1/2 pounds and in newborn sized clothes, you should by size 3-6 months for spring and summer time.
Bibs and burp cloths are also a hot item. Babies have several feedings a day and tend to get messy. They drool, spit-up and even projectile pee and poop, so it is safe to say that your gift will get used if you go this way. Many people tend to buy bibs and burp cloths in conjunction with clothes, as they are generally cheap. There is no real rule of thumb to bibs and burp cloths. Just use common sense and do not buy girl themed ones for a boy and vice versa.
Other items that are helpful are bottles and pacifiers. However, if you buy these items at least make sure they are using them first. Not all parents use bottles and pacifiers. Some moms exclusively breast feed for the first year of life while others breast feed and use bottles. If the parents are using bottles, be sure to find out the kind they are using as once a baby is used to a specific type of bottle they will not take anything different. The same rule of thumb applies to pacifiers. Some parents do not like to use them, so be sure to check before you purchase them.
No matter what you buy, shopping for a new baby is a fun experience. Just be sure when you get invited over to meet the new baby, you have something special for them.

Tipepidine
BackgroundAsverin® (tipepidine hibenzate) has been used as an antitussive for > 50 years in Japan. Studies revealed that tipepidine modulates monoamine levels, by inhibiting G-protein-activated inwardly rectifying potassium (GIRK) channels, expecting the potential therapeutic effects of tipepidine for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in recent years. In this study, TS-141, a sustained-release tablet of tipepidine, was developed for the treatment of ADHD through a drug repositioning approach.MethodsThe sustained-release profile of TS-141 in healthy adults was investigated, and tipepidine exposure in the plasma after the TS-141 administration was compared to that of Asverin in the phase I study. Phase II study was conducted to examine the effects of TS-141 30 (once a day), 60 (once a day), 120 mg (60 mg twice a day), or placebo, that is within the exposure in the maximum dosage of Asverin, in children and adolescents with ADHD, and was designed as an 8-week treatment, randomized, parallel group, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial recruiting 6–17-year-old children and adolescents diagnosed with ADHD. A total of 216 patients were randomized according to the CYP2D6 phenotype. The primary end-point was ADHD Rating Scale IV-J changes. Furthermore, effects of CYP2D6 phenotype on the efficacy in the subgroup analysis were investigated.ResultsTS-141 had the sustained-release profile, and the CYP2D6 phenotype had effects on the plasma exposure of tipepidine. ADHD RS-IV-J scores in all TS-141 dosages decreased from their baseline scores; however, no significant difference was observed in ADHD RS-IV-J score changes between the placebo and TS-141-administered groups. In patients with intermediate metabolizer CYP2D6, ADHD RS-IV-J score changes in the 120 mg group tended to be larger than that in the placebo group.ConclusionsADHD RS-IV-J changes on TS-141 may depend on the interaction between the TS-141 dose and CYP2D6 phenotype, suggesting that further clinical trials should be conducted with careful consideration of polymorphism. Drug repositioning approach of TS-141 was attempted at the same dose as that of antitussive; however, dose setting according to the indication was necessary.Trial registrationPhase I study: JapicCTI-205235 (Registered 25 March 2020), Phase II study: JapicCTI-163244 (Registered 9 May 2016), https://www.clinicaltrials.jp/cti-user/trial/Show.jsp

MONTREAL – Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin announced Monday the signing of forward Blake Geoffrion to a one-year, two-way contract (2012-13). As per club policy, financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
The 24-year old Geoffrion played 35 games with the Canadiens and the Nashville Predators in 2011-2012. He registered five points (2 goals, 3 assists), 40 hits and 27 penalty minutes, playing an average of 11:02 minutes per game. In his second year in professional hockey, he also played with the Milwaukee Admirals and Hamilton Bulldogs in the AHL, recording 21 points (6 goals, 15 assists) in 29 games.
Acquired by the Canadiens in a transaction with Nashville involving defenseman Hall Gill, the 6'01'', 190 lbs forward collected 13 points (8 goals, 5 assists) in 55 regular season games in the NHL. Geoffrion added two assists in 12 playoff games in 2010-11, along with a +1 plus/minus ratio.
A native of Plantation, Florida, Geoffrion was drafted in the second round, 56th overall by the Predators at the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. He was awarded the Hobey Baker Memorial Award, as the Top U.S. Collegiate Player in 2010.

Sex and Human Trafficking Involving Manufactured Home Community, Hits Fox Video Report
January 21st, 2019 soheyla
"St. Petersburg police are warning families to pay attention to their children following an eight-month-long investigation into human trafficking involving two teenaged boys," says Fox 13 YouTube page. "Investigators and victim advocates said it's very common for children to be lured by family, family friends, or through gaming apps and other social media apps into human trafficking." Their report is linked here.
It's a tragic reality, worthy of consideration on the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.'s federal holiday. January 1, 1863, was the date of President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. But 156 years later, there is still human trafficking, though it takes at times different forms than what it did in pre-Civil War America. It should be noted that slavery was outlawed in England in 1833. While the data below is in French, the dates and nations involved are clearly understandable. The U.S. was behind some nations, and ahead of others, in ending the practice of chattel slavery.
As the next graphics reflect, there are millions globally in slavery, today. One of the dirty little secrets about the immigration related issues along the U.S. Mexican border is precisely that it is sparking human trafficking, including sex trafficking, beyond other crimes, deaths, drugs and other horrors.
Since the Fox video, the final suspect reportedly turned himself in.
Right or wrong, such issues hit the mainstream media, and intentionally or not, they often seem to imply a negative stereotype about manufactured home communities and crime. It should go without saying that such tragedies happen in upper income neighborhoods, and sadly, is a growing pattern globally.

In this post, I'll explain why I always recommend caregivers make an effort to maintain a portable and up-to-date medication list. Then I'll discuss some tech tools that caregivers can consider.
One key reason to maintain an up-to-date medication list is so that you can make sure doctors and nurses have the right information, when you bring the older person in to see the doctor.
Proper treatment of most symptoms and problems affecting an older person should be based on reviewing an up-to-date medication list.
Medication lists maintained by doctors' offices are often either incomplete or out-of-date.
This is especially common if the older person is taking more than just a few medications, or if he/she sees more than one doctor.
Families should never assume that doctors and hospitals have fully updated each other regarding medication changes. Although this is supposed to happen, often there are delays or errors in communication.
In my own experience, I've found that patients and families often think that doctors automatically get the latest information related to the medication list. Many times I've even been told by patients that "it's all in the computer," but when we've taken the time to look at the actual medication bottles, we uncover all kinds of changes and mismatches.
So, I generally recommend that families bring in the actual medication bottles themselves, but the next best thing is to have an accurate and up-to-date prescription list.
Caregivers should be prepared to give doctors and nurses a printed copy of an up-to-date medication list, every time the older person goes to see a medical professional.
Make sure it's easy to update and edit the medication list. If it's not easy, chances are that a busy caregiver won't keep it updated.
This is especially vital for those caregivers helping someone who takes many medications, or who sees more than one doctor…since these families experience lots of medication changes!
Make sure it's easy to bring a printed copy of the list to a doctor or nurse. It's nice to be able to show the doctor an up-to-date list, but often doctors will want to put a copy of the list in the chart.
Word/Excel spreadsheet. So far, this is what I've seen work best for caregivers. Usually people use a table format, with columns for the name of the medication, the dosage, and the instructions for taking it (i.e. "once a day" or "every night at bedtime").
Easy to update and easy to read.
Flexible: can include columns for extra information, such as the purpose of the medication, or the prescribing doctor.
A column for miscellaneous notes can come in handy for keeping track of when the medication was changed, or other details.
Can be backed up or shared online, so easy for families to collaborate or share information.
Options include Google Documents, Evernote; or can use something like Microsoft Word or Excel along with a service like Dropbox.
Some programs, like Google Documents, maintain a history of revisions and changes, which can come in handy.
Data is usually not encrypted, so less secure than using apps or services designed specifically for health information.
Caregivers still have to spend a little time entering medications, and printing the list before visits.
Medication apps for smartphones and tablets. Many apps are now available for both iOS and Android. They include health apps with a section for listing medications, and apps specifically meant to help people remember to take medications.
For apps created by big pharmacy chains, medications are often easily synced with pharmacy records, which means that users don't have to spend time carefully entering medications.
Note that pharmacies usually do a bad job of recording when medications are stopped, because doctors don't usually report this information to the pharmacies.
Caregivers may need to manually correct the list when a medication is stopped.
Most apps require people to enter medications manually, by filling in multiple fields in the app.
This is often slower than typing into a Word or Excel document, and can make it hard to keep the medication list updated.
Can be hard to print a list to bring to doctor.
Pen and paper. This method remains popular, but I've found that very few families are able to keep a hand-written list up-to-date, especially if the person is taking more than just a few medications. Blank templates or tables for medication lists are often available online.
Low-tech: no computer, Internet, or smartphone needed.
Can be time-consuming to rewrite the list neatly.
For now, the strategy I recommend to caregivers — assuming they are comfortable with computers and have internet access — is to use either a document program or a spreadsheet, along with some method of online back-up. Google Documents (now part of Google Drive) is easy-to-use, makes it easy to share with other family members, and can be viewed on mobile devices. Plus it even keeps track of revisions, so you can easily view past versions of the list!
Families who feel especially concerned about protecting health information may want to consider dedicated services for online or mobile health information, since these routinely provide encryption. However, I haven't yet found anything that seems quite as easy to use and update as a document or spreadsheet program.
If you are a caregiver — or work with caregivers — and have found a good way to maintain an accurate, up-to-date, and printable medication list, please share in the comments!
I like the 4 tools mentioned – simple to understand and follow. A few thoughts..
– Suggesting caregivers note on the medication list WHAT the med is for/supposed to do. This way, if/when a medical condition changes, they will know to ask the doc if a med is still necessary (i.e. can the trazadone be discharged because patient is now sleeping better?).
– If they are not tech savvy, readers/caregivers may not know what "iOS" or "Android" means.
I care for my 87 year old uncle. the first thing I did was create an Excel sheet for his medications.
Everything is on 1 sheet if I have a question, I know who to ask.
Thank you for this information! It is very helpful. The problem we are having with my 83 year old mother is when she is admitted into the hospital or other medical facility the doctors will change her medication without good reason. My mother takes many medications for depression and anxiety and has for years. She also takes a mild pain medicine and Lyrica. And she is very sensitive to any changes especially if it throws her into withdrawals. They don't seem to consider this and the changes have no logic. What can we do to prevent them from making these type changes. It's very frustrating that doctors who know nothing about her have this much power. A huge flaw in the system but is there anything we can do? She lives in assisted living which makes it even more difficult because they have to have a new prescription record Everytime she come home from the hospital This has caused my mother a lot of suffering.
So sorry to hear about this situation, it does sound very frustrating, and potentially risky for her as well.
I'm also very sorry to say that what you are describing is very common! There is no easy way to prevent it from happening, but you might reduce the chances of it happening by being extremely proactive in telling the doctors about her medication history, and in insisting that they document it. You can also write letters and report your complaint to the hospital if they change things without properly informing your mother (or you, if you're her power of attorney).
It is not fair that families have to do all this extra work, but it is hard to get better care without this type of self-advocacy. Things are slowly improving in healthcare, but we have a long way to go still. good luck!
I'm so sorry to hear about the difficulties you're experiencing with your mom, hope Dr. K's reply helps.
Also, I wanted to mention that you might be interested in the Helping Older Parents online membership community Dr. K has just launched.
Members get access to a private support group of other people experiencing much of the same things you discussed in your comment, as well as expert guidance from Dr. K and free access to her signature Helping Older Parents Course (and it's risk free for 30 days).
Good luck with your mom and take care!

Narrowing national gap, widening Ontario gap in new Nanos poll
The latest CTV/Globe/Nanos poll shows very little change in the topline numbers, and even a downward trend for the Conservatives in the West. But Tory growth in Ontario puts Stephen Harper on the doorstep of a majority government.
Compared to Nanos's last poll conducted in mid-February, the Conservatives have slipped 1.1 points to 38.6%, while the Liberals are up a point to 27.6%. That's a gap of 11 points rather than February's 13, but this variation is still within the margin of error of the two polls.
The New Democrats are up one point to 19.9%, their highest result from any pollster for some time, while the Bloc Québécois is up 0.2 points nationally to 10.1%.
The Greens are down 1.1 points to 3.8%, a very low result for them, even by Nanos's standards. Note that, unlike other pollsters, Nanos does not prompt any of the parties in their surveys, and that by now the poll is one week old. This telephone poll has a sampling margin of error of 2.8 points, and 22% of respondents were undecided (up from 18.8%).
Ontario is the big story of this poll, though the shifts are within the margin of error. Nevertheless, the Conservatives are up 4.2 points to 43.2%, making this the sixth straight poll putting the Conservatives at more than 40% in the province. The Liberals are down 1.9 points to 30.9%, while the NDP is down 0.4 points to 23%. Aside from the recent Léger poll, Nanos is the only pollster to have recently put the New Democrats at 20% or more in Ontario. The Greens are down 1.8 points to 3%.
This poll is part of a recognizable in the province. Along with recent Conservative strength, Nanos helps to confirm Liberal weakness. This is the eighth consecutive poll pegging the Liberals at less than 35% in Ontario, and if this trend would hold throughout an election it would likely mean a majority for the Conservatives.
The Bloc Québécois leads with 39.3% in Quebec, up two points from mid-February. The Liberals follow with 24.7% (+0.3), while the Conservatives are down 0.6 points to 19.6% and the NDP is down 2.9 points to 13.9%, still a good number for them. Give or take a few points, this is generally where the parties were in Quebec at the end of the 2008 election, but the slight increases in Liberal and New Democratic support mean seat gains, as noted below.
The Conservatives have dropped 7.1 points in British Columbia, and now lead with 37.5%. The New Democrats are up 8.4 points to 29.7%, while the Liberals are down 2.2 points to 24%. The Greens are up 0.9 points to 8.8%. Despite these wild variations, none of these are statistically significant.
Both the Conservatives and Liberals have picked up 4.9 points in Atlantic Canada, putting them at 42% and 36.9%, respectively. The NDP is down 2.7 points to 17.7%.
Finally, Nanos still clumps Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba together. The Conservatives have dropped 9.1 points in the three provinces, and now stand at 55.5%. The Liberals are up seven points to 25%, and the NDP is up 4.2 points to 16.9%.
With the results of this poll only, ThreeHundredEight's model projects 19 seats for the Conservatives in British Columbia, 57 in Ontario, 11 in Quebec, and 15 in Atlantic Canada. I've awarded them the 50 seats in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba that my official projection currently gives them. In all, that is 153 seats, two shy of a majority and six more than I projected for Nanos's last poll.
The Liberals win six seats in British Columbia, two in the Prairies, 31 in Ontario, 17 in Quebec, and 13 in Atlantic Canada for a total of 70. That is a drop of 14 seats from last time.
The Bloc wins 45 seats in Quebec, dropping two seats from their current standing in the House of Commons due primarily to local factors. It is also a four seat drop from the last Nanos projection.
The New Democrats win 11 seats in British Columbia, four in the Prairies, 18 in Ontario, two in Quebec, and four in Atlantic Canada for a total of 40, an increase of 12 from last time.
Nanos also looked at the leadership numbers for each of the party leaders, grading them on trust, competence, and their vision for Canada. Combining them determines Nanos's Leadership Index Score. Since mid-February, Stephen Harper has dropped 16.1 points on the LIS, and now stands at 82.8. He lost much of that, not on trust as you might suspect, but on competence.
Jack Layton is second with an LIS of 51.4, an increase of almost eight points, while Michael Ignatieff is up almost three points to 39.7.
As for the top issue for Canadians, it is still healthcare at 29%, an increase of six points since February. Jobs and the economy is second at 18% (-2), while education is third with 9% (+4). Of course, both education and healthcare are provincial concerns.
When it comes to what motivates Canadians to cast their ballot in favour of one party or another, 48% said they make their decision based on the parties' policies. Another 20% said that the leader is the most important factor, while only 12% based their decision on the local candidate. Another 10% said their voting behaviour is based on who they traditionally vote for. None of these numbers had significant regional variations, but they definitely show the importance of the national campaigns - it determines how 68% of Canadians vote (combining platform and leaders).
Two other questions Nanos asked are of interest. On the F-35 fighter jets, only 27% agreed that they should be purchased now, while 68% said that "now was not a good time". That opinion is even shared by 56% of Conservative voters.
But the question is less than perfect. Nanos mentions that the F-35 jets could cost as much as $30 billion, the number quoted by Kevin Page of the PBO. That's fine, but Nanos did not spell out that the $30 billion is spread out over several decades. Listening to the Nanos question, respondents might have thought that the $30 billion will need to be spent right now.
Finally, Nanos asked who Canadians trust on economic policy. The Conservatives lead with 30%, but the Liberals are not far behind at 21%. The NDP is at 16%.
This poll has a litle bit of something for everyone. For the Bloc, they look to hold on to their vote. For the NDP, they have the potential to reach 20%. For the Liberals, their Quebec number is good and Harper's lustre appears to be dulling a little bit. For the Conservatives, this is as good as a majority.
But I suspect that the Liberals have already made up their mind to vote down the government, while the Bloc is just waiting to see whether the $2.2 billion for the HST is in the budget. It probably won't be, which means the NDP is on the hook. The Conservatives have held out a small olive branch, but the NDP hasn't yet given any impression as to which way they are leaning. The budget, slated for 16h00 in Ottawa, will be one to watch.
There is a Harris-Decima poll lurking around out there, but it hasn't been posted on the Harris-Decima site just yet. It will probably be posted sometime today, so look for a report on the poll here tomorrow.

The prohibition that results from marriage by the power of marriage is of four types: Divorce, Ila', Li`an (disprove a charge of adultery made by the husband against his wife), and Zhihar (a man likening his wife to an unmarriageable relative).
So, prohibition starts with divorce because it is the origin and permissible for a husband to do.
Then the less degree of permissibility is Ila' because it is a permissible oath but in the meantime it includes the meaning of oppression so it is prohibited. The reason of Ila' is the same of revocable divorce which is incompatibility, and they are alike because the cut of the relation is timed by a certain time but some people choose revocable divorce because taking the wife back in marriage will not imply a dislikable matter.
Some people choose Ila' because it does not entail the decrease of the times of divorce unlike the case of revocable divorce.
Qatadah said: Ila' was a type of divorce for the people of the Pre-Islamic Period. Sa`id ibn Al Musayyab said: Ila' was one of the tricks which the People of the Pre-Islamic Period used to practice when a man disliked his wife and did not want to marry another, so he would swear not to approach her, leaving her neither divorced nor married. The people of the Pre-Islamic Period used to practice it but when Islam came, Allah fixed a certain period for it. The definition of Ila' in linguistics is: It is an expression of oath.
In the Shari`ah: It is an oath made by a husband in order not to approach his wife for more than four months or connecting between approaching her and a certain action.

Song title: Growin' up
Growin' up
I stood stonelike at midnight suspended in my masquerade
I combed my hair till it was just right and commanded the night brigade
I was open to pain and crossed by the rain and I walked on a crooked crutch
I strolled all alone through a fallout zone and came out with my soul untouched
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said "Sit down" I stood up
Ooh-ooh growin' up
The flag of piracy flew from my mast my sails were set wing to wing
I had a jukebox graduate for first mate she couldn't sail but she sure could sing
I pushed B-52 and bombed `em with the blues with my gear set stubborn on standing
I broke all the rules strafed my old high school never once gave thought to landing
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said "Come down" I threw up
I took month-long vacations in the stratosphere
and you know it's really hard to hold your breath
I swear I lost everything I ever loved or feared I was the cosmic kid
Well my feet they finally took root in the earth but I got me a nice little place in the stars
I swear I found the key to the universe in the engine of an old parked car

From the 1820s to the 1870s, Lydia Maria Child was as familiar to the American public as her Thanksgiving song, "Over the river and through the wood, / To grandfather's house we go," remains today. Hardly a sphere of nineteenth-century life can be found in which Child did not figure prominently as a pathbreaker. She crusaded against slavery and racism, combated religious bigotry, championed women's rights, publicized the plight of the urban poor, and campaigned for justice toward Native Americans. Showing an uncanny ability to pinpoint and respond to new cultural needs, Child pioneered almost every category of nineteenth-century American letters—historical fiction, the short story, children's literature, the domestic advice book, women's history, antislavery fiction, journalism, and the literature of aging.
This rich collection is the first to represent the full range of Child's contributions as a literary innovator, social reformer, and progressive thinker over a career spanning six decades. It features stories, editorials, articles, and letters to politicians culled from rare newspapers and periodicals and never before published in book form; extracts from her trailblazing childrearing manual, history of women, and primer for the emancipated slaves; and a generous sampling of her best-known writings on slavery, the Indian question, poverty, and women's rights. Witty, incisive, and often daringly unconventional, Child's writings open a panoramic window on nineteenth-century American culture while addressing issues still relevant to our own time. In this anthology, the editor of Harriet Jacobs's Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl reemerges in her own right as one of the nation's greatest prophets.
Carolyn L. Karcher is Professor of English, American studies, and women's studies at Temple University and author of The First Woman in the Republic: A Cultural Biography of Lydia Maria Child also published by Duke University Press.

Home Local Breaking the sound barrier: The not-so-impenetrable wall
Breaking the sound barrier: The not-so-impenetrable wall
Courtesy photograph
Dr. Wernher von Braun and his supersonic A-4/V-2
Looking back at the breaking of the sound barrier in 1947, it's interesting to recall all the stories and tales that surround that one special October day at Muroc/Edwards.
When you take into consideration all the technology available before that time — especially the progress made in aircraft and weapon systems during World War II — it puts the push to break that invisible barrier into context.
Engineers realized that it was not an impenetrable wall. In fact, man-made devices were traveling that speed on a regular basis as far back as 1943 with no real structural damage. The only difference was that there was no man on board. The engineers of the day could really care less about that aspect of going supersonic, as there was a war going on and they were just trying to build weapons and along the way prove some scientific theories when it came to flight.
During World War II, the Germans were making incredible advances in flight technology. Dr. Wernher von Braun was at the forefront of those efforts. One day he would lead a group of scientists who would help the U.S. make it to the moon — but during World War II, he was working for his homeland. Germany's developments in rocketry under the constant pressures of war were nothing less than amazing, always testing the doctor and his rocket team.
Chuck Yeager and the supersonic X-1.
On his fourth flight attempt on Oct. 3, 1943 the sound of a manmade sonic boom from a manmade craft was produced for the very first time, when a craft dubbed the A-4 which stood 46-feet tall at the Peenemunde launching pad on the Baltic Sea achieved that milestone event. Twenty-four seconds after liftoff, the craft accelerated past Mach 1, eventually reaching Mach 4 or 5. That's when the phone rang and an observer some five kilometers away reported the distinct sound of a "Ba-Boom" to the gathered staff at the test bunker.
The European leaders in the world of aeronautical science had been correct: supersonic flight in its early manifestation meant that a shock wave would make a cracking sound just like the one made by an artillery shell going faster than sound.
From Sept. 5, 1944, to March 27, 1945, the basic A-4/V-2 had 3,165 successful operational flights, dumping high explosives on Great Britain and each time passing the Mach 5 speed, while maintaining its structural integrity. The craft was physically larger than an X-1, which was still two years away in development from achieving supersonic flight.
Looking back, it's noted that the scientists of the day didn't seem distressed at the idea that their rocket ships would disintegrate as they struck the so-called "sonic wall." Did NACA and U.S Army Air Corps know of these German rocket exploits and of high Mach speed flights? Of course they did. Even before the end of the war, the crack of sonic booms were heard over the deserts of New Mexico. Captured German V-2s made more than 130 flights from 1946 on, under the watchful eye of NACA, Von Braun and his associates.
In April 1944, Squadron Leader Anthony F. Martindale, put this Mark XI Spitfire into a dive. The reduction gear designed to limit its speed failed. The propeller ripped off and the diving aircraft reached more than 620mph (1,000km/h) — Mach 0.92 — as it plunged towards the ground.
So the hype of the sonic wall was really just theater of the day, used to bring drama and funding to the projects from a war-weary nation and its congressional leaders. I for one am glad those purses did open up and dollars flowed to start the process that would end up giving the United States the greatest Air Force in the world.
One item that I discovered while researching this story that may interest you when it comes to Mach 1 was about piston-driven aircraft. Many stories came out during World War II that various airframes from the Hellcat to the P-47 Thunderbolt — and yes, even the P-38 Lightning — had pilots tell of reaching that magic number in a dive and living to tell about it. The reality is that just could never have happened with the designs of the day. Even the early jet and rocket aircraft of the Luftwaffe could have never reached those numbers, with the design and construction materials being used.
A V-2 at White Sands, N.M., under the watchful eyes of NACA and American aerospace engineers.
So with that being said, what was the fastest recorded speed of a piston-driven aircraft attempting that magic Mach 1 number? Believe it or not, with a demonstrated ceiling of 45,000 feet and a thin elliptical wing and a lower profile liquid-cooled engine, a piston-driven aircraft registered an incredible 0.9 Mach number. That is the highest recorded speed — by a substantial margin — of any propeller driven fighter. The aircraft? It was the British Spitfire. Oh yes, and by the way, when the screaming Spitfire reached the denser air at 20,000 feet the propeller and much of the engine cowling parted company with the airframe — but at least the pilot survived to tell the tale of one heck of a ride!
So there you have it. When Hollywood speaks of the demons out in the thin air remember, just like selling a project with hype for the public, Hollywood does the same to sell tickets! But I know you folks already know that as we all smile and wink!
Until next time … Bob out!

Determination of hyporheic zone thickness in streams is an important step for study of stream-aquifer interactions. Knowledge about hyporheic zone thickness is useful in stream restoration. However, because there is a lack of standard techniques for such study, evaluation of the hyporheic zone thickness for a given stream reach remains a challenge task for researchers. This paper presents Galerkin finite element flow and stream function models that can simulate the hyporheic zone thickness. The flow and stream function equations are solved for 2-D profile domains that can be across a stream or parallel to a stream. The numeral schemes for solving the flow and stream function equations and the treatment of boundary conditions are described. Hypothetical streams are used for simulation of the control of hyporheic zone thickness by the magnitude of inflow and outflow that occur at the stream-sediment interface. Groundwater flow velocity field is generated to examine the flow dynamics in hyporheic zones. The magnitude of groundwater flow velocity in hyporheic zone is greater than that of regional groundwater flow.

Buesing to leave conference after more than 11 years
After 11 ½ years as second-in-command of the administrative services department, Niki Buesing is leaving the Great Plains Conference.
Buesing, assistant treasurer and controller, will leave the conference in mid-November to become the chief financial officer for Nemaha Valley Community Hospital in Seneca. The position is contracted through Topeka-based Stormont-Vail Health, and Buesing said she will commute and maintain her current residence in Topeka.
"I want everybody to know I love my job here at the conference," Buesing said. "I was not looking for a job, I was not doing a search. This just showed up, and I decided to throw my name at it and see what happened.
"It's a really, really neat opportunity, and I just couldn't pass it up," she added.

Her last day with the conference will be Nov. 12.
Buesing said the biggest accomplishment during her time in the position was the successful consolidation of the former Kansas East, Kansas West and Nebraska conferences into the Great Plains Conference in 2014.
"That was a really big one," she said. "From the finance side of things, after nine months we kind of had our feet back under us. We were one of the conferences that was able to get ourselves right after the merger well before any of the other conferences did before any of their mergers."
Scott Brewer, conference treasurer and director of administrative services, said Buesing has "tremendous knowledge of the operations of the conference" and was invaluable in the transition from his predecessor, the Rev. Gary Beach.
"I don't know that I've ever worked with anyone who works as hard as Niki," Brewer said. "She has always put in a tremendous number of hours and committed a lot of hours, including her off-hours, supporting the day-to-day and making sure stuff got done.
"She's always been a good colleague. She lets me know when I had it wrong, she lets me know when I had it right, and everywhere in between," he added. "It's going to be hard to see her go."
Buesing was hired as controller and was named as assistant treasurer in April 2018.
A classified ad for a new controller is on the Great Plains Conference website. Brewer said he is looking for someone with accounting expertise and experience, who is ready, willing and able to be a good staff leader and supervisor.
Buesing worked as a commercial credit analyst at a bank and as a public accountant before joining the former Kansas East Conference.
More than anything, Buesing said, she'll miss her co-workers in administrative services.
"What am I going to do without all of these people? I love the people that I work with. I love the staff out there," she said from her office. "We're just a bunch of nerdy, accountant-y people, but I'm gonna miss them and be sad we're not going to be working together anymore."

Crossout Review 2017
by Jason Parker
@IshyJulu
Critic Score: 4 out of 5
User Rating: (40 votes, average: 3.25 out of 5)
I had a hard time quantifying exactly what Crossout is. It's a free-to-play MMO, but it's also a team-based shooter where you create the vehicle in which you offer destruction to your enemies. I did not expect to have as much fun as I did, and it's due to a variety of reasons. So let's talk a little bit about what the game is. In Crossout, you build a tank, or a jeep. Or whatever you have the parts for, and enter battle against another team who has done the same. The matches are blissfully short, and you have fairly standard objectives: Destroy the other team, capture the enemy team, two teams, one objective, go capture it. However, if you obliterate the other team, they can't get that objective either. I have seen some absolutely remarkable builds though! In fact, there's a button on the main screen, Exhibition, where you can show off your work to be praised by others. I mean, someone built a train, a Delorean, a school bus, even a damn refrigerator! With enough matches, time, and effort, you can literally build anything your heart desires. You can also save the blueprint of these designs, to change them, or to utilize them yourself, if you have the parts for it.
The garage should feel familiar and easy to learn for any vehicle battle veterans.
That's the key, having parts. So that leads to the big question that every free to play asks: "Is this going to be pay to win?" and I'm honestly not sure. The vehicle I'm using is from one of the packs, and it's pretty damn strong. But I've been absolutely smashed by rocket builds, machine gun builds, shotgun builds…and I think I hate melee builds the most, especially ones that can tip you over. More on that in a bit. Let's talk acquisition though, and consider the "pay to win" aspect. To get coins you can sell stuff on the marketplace, items you win in battle that you aren't going to use, rewards from crates, et cetera. Or… you can buy them on the in-game store. It doesn't say that I can yet, but I assume that will change in the "open beta". Will being able to purchase better weapons through money put you on a higher playing field? Sure, that is if your rig can afford the energy drain of it. But with enough money, I'm sure that won't be an issue. However, these don't offer you more skill, or stop you from behind wedged upside down in between a series of rocks, that even a jack can't get you out of. If your team can reach you, they can help you out, but odds are, they'll get stuck too… I do think it's pay to go faster. On the other hand, I do think it's pay to win, but that's because of the grind. The endless, relentless grind to acquire new weapons.
Fights can be drug out affairs or short and instant explosions. Who knows when the bullets start flying.
The best part of this game is the actual in-game action. It all falls apart, if you will, when you consider how long you have to play to get ahead, short of having coins. So how do you get coins without spending money on vehicles to break down and sell the rare parts? You have to craft them. And crafting takes forever. You have to win, and win, and win. You have to join specific maps to get wire, or shotguns, or electronics, or whatever you need. For example, to create the Rare Shotgun "ST-M23 Defender," you need 450 Scrap, 50 Copper [Mostly gained in raids], and certain parts: LM-54 Chord Machine Gun, two Small Wheels, and two Dockers. God help you if you want to build Legendary parts. The grind can take days, but most likely will take weeks to get this stuff normally. Unless you're lucky enough to get whole armaments in some of the crates you can acquire, it's rough. Which is unfortunate, because this game is immensely fun. I think the simplest fix is to lower some of the costs of building, or increase the amount of parts you gain from wins by a decent factor. Only the most hardcore are going to work that grind without going insane. Now thankfully, the matches are very fast. Typically no longer than two or three minutes. Missions can be won, lost, or drawn in about two minutes; raids are even shorter, if you fail them. I think this is the biggest drawback to Crossout. If you stand your ground without paying, you are up against a monumental mountain of a grind. Sure, you can buy one of their pre-built pieces of vehicular destruction. Or you can group with people and they can help you get the parts you need, while you do the same for them. Winning certain types of matches can grant you DIY kits which can give you rare parts, and some other stuff. Personally, my advice is to build what is comfortable for you, but to also find parts that give Reputation Bonuses. I have a few of them strapped to my tank. The more you do in battle, the more Reputation you gain, which gives you levels with factions. Receiving X level will unlock more Factions, which is more stuff to acquire. You can also gain Blueprints from these factions, which can be built from their parts. So there's a bit of help there, but you have to level up to get those, which requires a lot of wins. The rep grind is pretty slow as well. These are minor things that can be fixed without ruining the game or changing it.
Teamwork is vital in all modes of the game.
But what is it doing right? The rest of the game! The actual gameplay is incredible. Once you have a decent vehicle, you have a few options. First you have Missions. These have no cost, tend to have incredibly fast matchmaking times and each queue offers a different reward. Shotgun, Wires, Electronics, Cabin, Cannons, etc. You can win a certain amount of these, and the limit resets after a fixed moment in time [about a week]. These are simple: Queue up, get in there, kill people. Like I said earlier, there are a few possible match types here, and the actual battles won't last longer than five minutes. I love this. You also have Raids, which are PVE missions with generally low match times as well. But completing conditions adds time on, to help you get it done without taking a loss. These require Fuel, which refills every day, or you can buy it on the player-run market. Or.., you can attach a fuel barrel to your ride! Sure, if it gets hit, you can die from the explosion, but if you win with it on, you gain 25 units of fuel! High risk, high reward. Then you have Brawls, which reset after a certain amount of time, and the winner gets scrap and a DIY kit, that I discussed earlier. Despite the amount of matches you need for worthwhile items [that's if you win, mind], it's still crazy fun! You can play with all kinds of damn vehicles! Insanely fast, turbo-charged light-weight machine-gun wielding maniacs, or you can be like me! I prefer heavy, slow, thick armor, with a gigantic cannon on top. It's got a crap rotation/aiming function because the actual gun doesn't move, but damn if it's not effective. I paired it with twin machine guns that actually can move, so I can pelt them with bullets while I get into position for the game changer.
I've fallen and I can't get up!
That's another thing that I love about this game. As you fight, you can blow off pieces of your enemies' vehicles. Knock the guns off, blow up their fuel tank, destroy their main source of damage. This doesn't mean you're out of it though. It's only the end for you when you explode. Teamwork and strategy wins games in Crossout, so what do you do when you lose all of your guns? Body block for your team! Take a few bullets for them, or ram full-speed and tip someone over/push them off a cliff, into some rocks, anything! Just because you don't have guns doesn't mean you can't get work done. That's why you should also consider having a build that has a melee weapon on it, spinning blades, a ram, whatever! This is definitely a tactical game, whether it seems like it or not. Just because you are out of ammo, out of guns, or out of health, doesn't mean you can't be an effective part of a team. I won a match for my team with no guns, because I just hauled ass to their base, where no one waited for me. I just did donuts and watched out for the other side, claiming the point. It's only over when time runs out, or you die. Building your vehicle, and doing battle are really the selling points of this game. I think that if they just adjust how you get parts, it will increase the general joy of playing this game.
Conclusion: Great (4/5)
I do love the concept of Crossout a lot. It's a new look at squad-based combat/team shooters, because there are no classes, really. Each player can have something unique and special, whatever their heart desires… as long as they're willing to put in the time and/or money. You don't have to spend money, but it sure will help. But based on the actual gameplay mechanics, it's phenomenal. If they just consider adjusting how you acquire stuff, I think it will be one of the best free to play games I've encountered in years, and that's not hyperbole. The stages are gorgeous, the possible customization is literally endless, the more power you can get to that monstrosity, the more ludicrous things you can do with it. This is the best post-apocalyptic game I've had the pleasure to come across, and it's very "Mad Max" in the best way. I appreciate that they'll fill the PVP mode with bots if there aren't other players queueing, and I love that it's a strategy/tactical game. Playing this with friends could be one of the most fun experiences you have on the Internet.

Gwyneth Paltrow has won numerous awards for her acting, but speaking apparently came with some difficulty Thursday with President Barack Obama standing beside her.
"You're so handsome that I can't speak properly," the actress, singer and food writer gushed after introducing Obama to several hundred supporters seated on white fold-out chairs in the lush backyard of her home in the movie star haven of Brentwood, a neighborhood in Los Angeles.
In a not-so-subtle reference to her "conscious uncoupling" earlier this year from husband Chris Martin, Paltrow said it was a "profound honor" to have Obama in the home she shares with Apple and Moses, her two children with the Coldplay lead vocalist.
Paltrow hosted a reception and dinner benefiting the Democratic Party that marked the start of a three-day, California fundraising swing for Obama. He is scheduled to attend three other Democratic National Committee fundraisers in Los Angeles and San Francisco before returning to Washington on Saturday.
Tickets to the reception at Paltrow's home started at $1,000, while dinner tickets cost a minimum of $15,000.
Actors Julia Roberts and Bradley Whitford were among those attending.
In a brief introduction punctuated by "ums," Paltrow declared herself to be one of Obama's biggest fans and said he's an "incredible role model."
"I am one of your biggest fans, if not the biggest, and have been since the inception of your campaign," she said, adding that she thinks both of his campaigns and his presidency will be one of the most important and most scrutinized of all time.
Paltrow noted the approaching Nov. 4 midterm elections in which Democratic control of the Senate is at risk. She called it a "critical time" for Democrats and seemed to urge everyone to vote. "It would be wonderful if we were able to give this man all of the power that he needs to pass the things that he needs to pass," she said.
She mentioned equal rights for women in the workplace, and investments in sustainable energy and "everything green" before commenting on Obama's looks.
"I'm taking her to the next event," Obama quipped when it was his turn to speak.
He also thanked Paltrow and her kids for "letting us crash your house."
