Oct 23 Who Are You?
Wow. My little girl saw the Father's love literally written on me! When I went to journal this experience, Holy Spirit drove His message home to me even more. Having written down what Anna said, I turned the page to continue writing. Across the entire next side, the creators of this particular journal had splayed the verse, "His banner over me is love!" My eyes grew bigger as my spirit took in His words. Jesus was loving on me with His lavish tenderness.
The reason I share this experience with you is that today He wants to love on you too. Even right now, He wants to draw you into His arms, hold you close, and show you His deep love for you.
This verse is for you. He has fashioned a personal banner… just for you. He has spread it gloriously across the sky over you, telling all of creation who you are. Written indelibly there in the heavenly places is the word that expresses the deep core of His heart for you. "Love." You are deeply, passionately, tenderly, eternally loved.
Let Him speak these words deeply to your heart today. Ingest them. Drink them. Imbibe them. Eat them. Digest them. Assimilate them into the fabric of your being. Let them become the essence of who you are. His words of everlasting, undying devotion are inscribed as a breathtaking proclamation over you, decreeing exactly who you were created to be. His.
I want to drink richly of this glorious love! So I sat here just now and looked at all 50 translations of this verse on my YouVersion app one by one, letting His gentle expression wash over me. That's what He means by "He brought me to the banquet room." He wants you and me to come eat. His focused, determined intention toward us is love; this is why He is calling to us, drawing us after Him, enticing us into His banqueting room. He wants us to feast on His love… this is the purpose of the banqueting room!
Do you realize that His generously spread table is what we need the most? When stress presses in, when sadness steals away joy, when adversaries seem to close in on every side, what is His answer? "You prepare a table…" The banqueting room. Come, slip away. He's beckoning you to recline with Him at His table. Look up into His beautiful eyes. "His glance upon me is love." He is gazing at you with profound affection. Rest in His arms. Rest… and feast.
Yes, beloved child, you read that right. A six-course dinner. This is no quick fix, no on-the-go snack, no morsel of love that He wants to feed you. He eagerly desires to teach you how to feast on His love. He has escorted you, drawn you here to this place with Him to give you exactly what you need. To tell your heart that you belong to Him… that He's got you… that you are His very own… that He will never, ever let you go. To fill that hungry, empty, aching place inside you with His sumptuous goodness. To nurture your famished soul with His intimacy. To feed you… Himself.
Here under His eternal banner of love, an extravagant dinner is served. Will you come to the table?

Q: Add every new file to svn, except those that are ignored I'm new to subversion. I've created a repository, and I want to make the first commit.
There are some files and folders that should not be checked in, such as cache/ or log/. I've used svn propset svn:ignore -F svn_ignore.txt.
I want to have a simple way to add new files to svn. Is there a way to do this while respecting the svn:ignore setting ? The following commands add every file, even the ignored ones :
svn add --force .

alias svn_add_all='svn st|grep ^?|sed s/?//|xargs svn add $1'

EDIT Here's what I get :
$ svn status
?       web/images/test/film_super8.jpg
?       web/images/test/ea_dl_manager.jpg
?       web/images/test/minecraft_anaglyph.png
$ svn propget svn:ignore
cache/*
log/*
web/images/blog/*
web/images/test/*

A:
The patterns are strictly for that directory—they do not carry
  recursively into subdirectories.

See SVN documentation
So you must apply your patterns on all the directories, or only on the directories where that ignore is necessary.
So the pattern shouldn't include directories like you do. web/images/blog/* won't work.
You should go to the blog folder and set svn:ignore to *
Some clients have a "Apply recursively" feature that does that for you. I don't know if you can do that with the "default" client.
But in your case, it would be useless. It may be used when a specific file or pattern must be ignored everywhere (like *.suo files for Visual Studio projects)

A: svn status should not display an ignored file.
But the issue might be in the way you do ignore a file: see "Command Line svn:ignore a file"

You don't svn:ignore a file.
You put an svn:ignore property on the directory to ignore that filename pattern!

# Add just the single file to the current directories ignore list (like above)
# Note the dot at the end of the command is important
svn propset svn:ignore secret.txt .

# See that things worked
svn propget svn:ignore .    # Notice the single file was added to the list
svn status --no-ignore      # You should see an 'I' next to the ignored files

Mammoth Vs. Stealth At The Pepsi Center
By UZ@uzworm Feb 5, 2011, 3:21pm MST
Share All sharing options for: Mammoth Vs. Stealth At The Pepsi Center
The National Lacrosse League is a league chock full of parity, and a league where just about anything can happen. The Colorado Mammoth are probably going to need to rely on the 'anything can happen' nature of the league if they want to get a win tonight at the Pepsi Center against the Washington Stealth, a team that the Mammoth have yet to beat in their short history.
Last years champions, the Stealth returned a lot of their championship winning players this year to the squad but have fallen flat since starting the season with a win, ending up at a 2-3 record five games into the still-young season. They still have plenty of offensive talent and ability to score a lot of goals which will probably prove to help a Stealth feeding frenzy as the Mammoth's goaltending woes since Gee Nash's exit continue. With Chris Levis in net you can pretty much guarantee a couple of garbage goals getting in for the opposing side.
The Stealth won their first game of the season against Colorado 11-10, barely holding onto a late lead to win in overtime. That was the first of three one goal games that the Mammoth have dropped this season. Colorado has not won a home game since two seasons ago and has dropped all three this year en route to a 1-3 record. The Pepsi Center will assuredly be rocking as usual tonight despite the blizzard that has started to come down as I type this, so hopefully the 'Loudest House In Lacrosse' will finally prove to a be a advantage for the reeling home side.
With the Edmonton Rush still at 0-5 on the season, a win in Colorado's fifth game can push them into early playoff discussions as a lower seed.

Colorado Mammoth Play Lackadaisical, Lose, 12-8

The Pat Hobby Stories
by Scott Fitzgerald, Francis
The setting: Hollywood: the character: Pat Hobby, a down-and-out screenwriter trying to break back into show business, but having better luck getting into bars. Written between 1939 and 1940, when F. Scott Fitzgerald was working for Universal Studios, the seventeen Pat Hobby stories were first published in Esquire magazine and present a bitterly humorous portrait of a once-successful writer who becomes a forgotten hack on a Hollywood lot. "This was not art" Pat Hobby often said, "this was an industry" where whom "you sat with at lunch was more important than what you dictated in your office."

TV Trends Web Review: The future of content is the future of distribution
As new content platforms keep pushing the boundaries of content, here are a few inspiring pre-MIPTV industry stories!
By James Martin on March 18, 2015 0 Comments
Did the past few weeks give us a glimpse of what TV's ecosystem may look like in the very near future? They gave us, at least, a confirmation that tomorrow's studios will have strong digital roots – indeed, BuzzFeed is gaining ground at a very fast pace in this race. The LA Times just revealed that the media company's video division – whose president Ze Frank and producer Michael Shamberg will speak at MIP Digital Fronts this April – reached 1 billion monthly views. Buzzfeed Motion Pictures develops all kinds of moving images, including "medium-form content and serialised formats with developed characters and story lines." Shamberg insists that their job is about "re-engineering the way content is developed, promoted and shared." A threat to the traditional US TV studio model?
The question is all the more pressing as some new entrants in the current TV ecosystem are already clearly identified – Snapchat, to name but one. As Business Insider UK notes, the mobile platform has managed to impose itself as a major content provider through its Snapchat Stories, which disappear after 24 hours and are not automatically displayed – you need to hold your finger on the screen. In other words, to be physically engaged from start to finish! This is especially relevant for live events:
"Snapchat's mega-stories are not boring or bad. In fact, they are an exciting new entertainment format. They give viewers live, intimate access to events they would never be able to attend on their own, like the Vanity Fair post-Oscars party. While the biggest of live events covered by TV are captured by maybe a dozen cameras at most, Snapchat's mega-stories can be stitched together using video from thousands of cameras."
Don't say goodbye to linear TV too soon, though! Digital TV Europe points out that it is still dominant among millennials – according to a new research by Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN). Did you know, for instance, that 69% of adults and 76% of kids are "still starting their viewing journey via TV channels?"
Of course, this doesn't mean we're not experiencing a major shift: broadcasters are now constantly adapting their content to this ever-evolving context, with various strategies. The first – and most obvious one – is to attract online talent: "some of the biggest names on YouTube are developing pilots, shooting sitcoms, and prepping to host talk shows" on network TV, New Media Rockstars notes.
Content is king: if the video creators themselves can't be hired, then it is in broadcasters' interest to focus on one of the past years' most successful IPs worldwide – the BBC itself is working on a drama based on video game Grand Theft Auto, The Independent reports. The third option? Buying out creative production companies: ITV just acquired The Voice creator Talpa for up to $1.17 Billion, according to Variety. Not to mention the possibility of exporting formats: Sohu will soon launch its own version of Saturday Night Live, Variety further writes (this specifically will be a hot topic at MIPFormats this April!)
Subscribers to major US cable networks… and Netflix. Source: Media Redefined
Last but not least, digital broadcasting is getting attention from all sides, and notably from major content providers now ready to launch their offers for cord-cutters. Will HBO – which just partnered with Apple for this new phase in its business model – be successful in this economically perilous transition? Its cable-free streaming has at least a name and a price; HBO Now will cost $15 a month and be launched "in time for the fifth-season premiere of Game of Thrones," according to Quartz. To find out more about HBO's struggle with Netflix, read Media Redefined's thorough analysis.
Again, if distribution is queen, content remains king. The next step in content promotion? Blurred lines between fiction and reality, as HBO's programmation itself seems to suggest. Realscreen explains that one of the channel's latest docuseries, Jinx – about a real estate heir accused of murder – was aired a few days ago, and the murderer arrested in real life… right before the finale! MIPTV will feature a special session with the series' director and producer Andrew Jarecki – don't miss it!

Vicki + Yuri had a wonderful wedding at the Weston Golf & Country Club in Toronto this past August.
If you remember, that summer was the hight of the 'ice bucket challenge' and Yuri saved his for his wedding day (before the tux was on!).
After a touching ceremony at the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ Catholic Church we headed over to the country club and their beautiful grounds for some portraits with the family and wedding party and then a great dinner and reception with the Marc Joseph Band playing all night.

Q: Library for parsing XHTML files with XLINQ When I realized I needed to create an index for approximately 50 XHTML pages, which may be added/deleted/renamed/moved in the future, I thought "No problem -- I'll write a quick index generator using LINQ to XML, since XHTML definitely counts as XML".
Of course, as soon as I tried running it, I found out about the fact that XLINQ chokes on XHTML entities like  .  I got around it by using the following algorithm:

*

*Read XHTML file into string.

*Use regex search and replace on that string to add a section into the DOCTYPE that defines all relevant entities (because I only care about the "title" attribute in the files I read and my output file does not use any entities right now, it just sets them all to blank, but I may add the actual values later).

*Parses the result into an XDocument.

To save a file, I do the opposite:

*

*Save XDocument to a string.

*Strip out the entity definitions.

*Save to file.

My question is, are there any libraries (especially built-in .Net ones) I can use that will read XHTML files into XDocuments? The code I wrote has accomplished its purpose (to generate the current index and to test the rest of the generator program), and I would really prefer not to spend time testing it if someone else already wrote and tested the same thing.
Thank y'all so much for your time,

Ria.
Edit: Thank you so much; this works! I still have to do a little string processing when I save the XHTML (guess the library was not really made for that:)) and I had to fiddle with the source of the Agility Pack slightly to get it to stop indiscriminately sticking a CDATA section around the insides of every style attribute (even when there was already one present), but that's the point of Open Source, right?

Tessenderlo - Tombs of prisoners of war and partisans dead in Belgium during the Second World War
War graves/
Tombs of prisoners of war and partisans dead in Belgium during the Second World War/
Tombs of prisoners of war and partisans dead in Belgium during the Second World War
List of Soviet military graves in Belgium
Dotsenko Tree (Bois de Stepennes)
Robertville (Orthodox cross)
Sprimont (Dotsenko Monument)
г. Жуме-Гоисар (Jumet-Gohyssart)
At the municipal cemetery of Tessenderlo (Limburg province), a former Soviet prisoner of war Galiulin Rashma (Rakhma, maybe Rakhmatula), born on 13.05.1909 in Ufa, Bashkir ASSR, was buried.
The grave has a concrete cross, a plate with the name is missing.
The burial site was discovered in 2010.
According to the available information, R. Galiulin was captured and driven to Belgium to work in the coal mines of La Louviere and Maurage. He managed to escape together with another Soviet prisoner. Maybe they tried to go East, but only reached the town of Tessenderlo (approx. 130 km to the East from Maurage), where members of the Belgian Resistance helped them. For several months, they hid in hiding places arranged in houses and farms of local residents, and sometimes even in the surrounding forests. It is possible that R. Galiulin took part in the Resistance, because after a while he got a firearm.
After the liberation of Belgium from the Nazis in September 1944, R. Galiulin returned to Maurage, where he supposedly got a job at the mine. However, on May 10, 1945, he reappeared in Tessenderlo, because on May 9, 1945 he had a son from a local resident.
On May 21, 1945, G. Galiulin died under unknown circumstances, as described by the relevant death certificate drawn up by local authorities.
The story is written from hearsay of François Bieselmans,
son of R. Galiulin (last name of stepfather)
François Bieselmans at the grave of his father R. Galiulin (April 2011)
Death certificate signed by the burgomaster of Tessenderlo
Annual memorial ceremonies
We would like to draw your attention to the fact that spelling of the names, surnames and places of birth of Soviet citizens buried in Belgium may be distorted due to the fact that they are quite often written only in Flemish and French in registration books and on monuments.
We thank the Brussels-Belgian Archdiocese of the Russian Orthodox Church, the organizations of Russian compatriots and Russian foreign institutions accredited in Belgium for providing photos and their efforts to preserve the memory of the heroism of the Soviet soldiers who fell in the Great Patriotic War.
The Embassy will be grateful for providing any information and photos of Soviet military graves of the Second World War in Belgium and the ceremonies held on them. Please send material to the email address of the Embassy amrusbel@skynet.be with the note «War Graves».

Obituary for Shirley Dell Stahl
May 26, 1929 - December 23, 2019
Hudson, Massachusetts | Age 90
Loving Wife, Mother, Grandmother,Sister, Aunt, Great Aunt and Respected Educator
Shirley Dell Stahl of Hudson and Teaticket, Massachusetts, formerly of Sudbury, MA, died unexpectedly December 23, 2019 after a brief illness.
Born May 26, 1929, in Charlotte, North Carolina, to Edward and Virginia Dell, Shirley spent most of her childhood in Miami, Florida. As a young child, she would sit in the front church pew focusing intently on the sermon. Called as her parents were to spread God's word, she practiced preaching to the trees—sowing the seeds of a lifelong, deeply held faith, as well as a loving relationship with plants and places of natural beauty.
When she completed high school, her older brother Ed strongly advocated for Shirley to join him at college in the Boston area, convincing her parents that a young woman did, in fact, need a college education. She studied for two years at Eastern Nazarene College, where Ed introduced her to his good friend Benjamin, who became her lifelong love. Shirley and Ben were married on October 19, 1950 and she began life as a young wife, working for a few years to help with household income before beginning a family in 1953. The young family lived in Scituate and Lexington through the 1950s, with a yearlong stay on Florida's panhandle for Ben's work, in 1959. Shirley enjoyed days on the white sands of Florida beaches with her children and evenings dancing with Ben at the officers' club.
In 1961, the family moved to the house they built in Sudbury, where all four children grew up and where Shirley and Ben lived for 46 years. Shirley expressed her talents with color and line, sewing the window treatments and enjoyed selecting the furniture and wall colors to make their home a place of welcoming beauty. It was in Sudbury that Shirley discovered her gift for landscape design and filled a sunroom with plants that thrived in her care. In retirement, she was an active member of the Sudbury Garden club, participating in shows, sales and the annual Christmas decorating of the Sudbury Wayside Inn. Shirley was an accomplished seamstress, sewing clothes for herself and her children, and making several dazzling costumes for school plays. She imparted her visual design gifts to her children, along with a love of good food and celebration of holidays and family milestones.
As the children grew, Shirley looked toward working outside the home again, stretching her gifts of organization and understanding of human dynamics in a professional setting. Shirley's perceptive understanding of personality and behavior was always an excellent source of counsel for family and friends. She combined these talents with her faith to work with Ben as a parish consultant to the Episcopal Diocese. The training she received for that work led her to jobs in education at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School and group facilitation, culminating in a twelve-year career at Digital Equipment Corporation, where she developed and managed the Graduate Engineering Education Program for the Digital employees who sought advanced degrees. Shirley enjoyed being an early adopter of email as a communication tool. When three of her children also worked at Digital in the late '80s she enjoyed using email to stay in touch with them, sharing jokes and recipes. Her love of education and new challenges led her back to college; she completed her bachelor's degree at Framingham State College in 1980, continuing with graduate courses in business and psychology.
Shirley and Ben retired from work in the same month in 1992 and embarked on many adventures over the next 25 years. They enjoyed global travels, especially to the Southern Hemisphere and winter vacations in Barbados. In 1994, they bought a second home in Falmouth, fulfilling a dream that Shirley had to live near the shore as she had as a girl in Miami. This second home provided Shirley another outlet for her talents of garden design, experimenting and learning which plants would flourish in a seaside climate. She loved visiting the Cape, not only in the summer months, but also celebrating every May birthday and October anniversary there.
In 2007, Shirley and Ben left their Sudbury home and moved to the Sauta Farm community, also known as "Hudbury" in Hudson. There they reconnected with other Sudbury couples and made new neighborhood friends. Shirley became the editor of community newsletter, fostering neighborly connections, shared stories and photos. In 2018 she won an award for best New England condo association newsletter. Having mastered the challenges of desktop publishing and village storytelling, she happily retired as editor in December 2019.
For nearly 40 years, Shirley and Ben were faithful and beloved members of the parish of St. Anne's in-the-Fields Episcopal Church in Lincoln, MA. Shirley served on the vestry and rector search committees and led adult education programs, including developing Lenten devotional booklets for the community. She served as a lay eucharistic minister and a lector for services. Shirley was proudest of her work as parish archivist, conducting oral history interviews and assembling timelines for the parish's 125th anniversary celebration in 1999.
Those who spent any time in Shirley's company experienced her quick and nimble mind, her incisive perceptions, and her abiding intuition. She did not suffer fools. Her eye-roll was legendary.
In addition to her dear Ben, Shirley is survived by Lise Stahl (Christopher) Brown of Concord, Erich Stahl (Rene Stawicki) of Jamestown, RI, Johanna Gretchen Stahl (Charles) Hughes of Huntington Beach, California, Heidi Stahl of Falmouth, and her beloved only grandson, Matthew Brown of Concord, as well as many nieces, nephews, and grand-nieces and nephews. She leaves behind a special soul, who was a great companion in her final days, Skip the cat. She is also survived by her sister Mary Taylor of Black Rock, South Carolina, brother Paul Dell of Kingsport, Tennessee and was predeceased by brothers Edward Dell and Jack Dell.
Family and friends will gather to honor and remember Shirley on Saturday, January 4, 2020 at 11:00 am in St. Anne's in-the-Fields Episcopal Church, 147 Lincoln Road, Lincoln with reception immediately following.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the:

I recieved my gorgeous cetrine candle today with a tumble stone in a little bag with a little scroll sealed with wax was over the moon with it and the attention to detail finished it off beautifully will definately be ordering more.
Handmade Soya wax candle with a scent blended with Lemon essential oil topped with Citrine crystal and glitter. This candle also comes with a Citrine tumblestone.
Citrine is the crystal of Success, its energy brings abundance and wealth. It is also good for decision making and self esteem.

Access to Justice in the United Nations Human Rights Committee
Vera Shikhelman, NYU School of Law
This Article has two main purposes. The first is to describe and evaluate empirically the right of individuals to access the HRC under the OP in light of the special goals of this procedure as perceived by the different stakeholders. The second is to recommend ways to improve individuals' access to the HRC and thereby to international justice in general. In order to address the first question, the Article uses a mixed-methods approach—a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods.

You thought your son was just "experimenting" with drugs, but had stopped. Now he's failed a drug test for his work–study program at school, and you know: this is serious. Your teen daughter is hanging around with kids who are notorious for drinking and partying on the weekends. She's come home drunk twice this month. This morning you found vodka in her room. What do you do? The following is an excerpt from Life Over the Influence, the program created by Kimberly Abraham LMSW and Marney Studaker-Cordner LMSW, therapists and experts in helping families who are struggling with substance abuse issues.
There is a difference between rescuing your child and going to the other extreme of giving up.
If you're reading this article, you've got pretty good reason to believe your teen is abusing substances. Rather than focus on getting your teen to admit he's using, or the degree of his use, we're going to focus on what you can do to respond to the issues that result from that substance use.
The first thing you can do is be proactive. Remember when your child was a toddler and you put baby gates across the stairs, locks on the cabinet doors and you put all your breakables out of his reach? Well, it's time to teen–proof your home now. If you drink or use substances, lock it up. Or better yet, get it completely out of the house. If you have prescription medications, lock those up too. Don't assume that just because your teen is using one substance, he's not open to getting high in a different way.
You may be thinking, "This is my home, I shouldn't have to lock things up." Would you have said that when he was a toddler? "This is my home! I shouldn't have to put the poisonous cleaners in a locked cabinet just because he's two." Your teen is still a minor, and whether you should have to teen–proof the home is beside the point. It's still a part of parental responsibility, and it's something you can actually control.
I'm Afraid of What I Might Find in His Room. Besides, it Smells in There….
Parents often wonder where to draw the line with privacy when a teen may be using substances. Remember, this is your home. Privacy is a privilege. Is it a good idea to read your thirteen–year–old's diary just because you're wondering if she's mad at you? Of course not. But if you suspect your teen is using substances, privacy goes out the window. It's your home, and your right and responsibility to make sure illegal substances are not in your house, because you will be held responsible. That's real life. If you had a tenant, and thought he had drugs in the room, would you say, "Oh, I don't want to upset him by invading his privacy." Of course not!
If you find substances in your child's room, you will have to decide what course of action you're going to take. You know your child best. It's a judgment call as to whether or not you should call the police. If it's the first time you've discovered the substance, you may decide to flush it and let your child know, "Look, I found pot and I flushed it. If I find it again, I'm calling the police." If you're concerned the substance abuse has reached a level where the court should be involved, you may choose to call the police the first time you find it. The type of substance found may also play a role. If you find liquor, that may strike you differently than if you find heroin. Even with liquor, he can be charged as a minor in possession. Make sure you are prepared for the court to be involved if you call the police.
Many teens will actually have the nerve to be angry at their parent for flushing their stash. They may even tell you, "Hey, you owe me money for that!" You can respond calmly and let your child know, "Would you tell the police they owed you money if they took it? This is real life. If you bring it into my home, you're going to lose a lot of money, so make an informed choice." By doing this, you are starting to make substance use uncomfortable for him, and you are establishing a firm boundary.
I Need Some Weed…Can I Get Twenty Dollars?
If you know, or even suspect, that your child is using substances, one of the best ways to put a wrench in his buying is to cut off his cash flow. Now is the time to close the First National Parent Bank & Trust. Don't give cash for things like movies, lunch, clothes. Write a check or pay the school directly for lunches, or let him brown bag it. Buy the clothes yourself. Don't give cash for birthdays or holidays, or big–ticket items he can pawn or exchange for drugs.
That doesn't mean you can't do anything for him for special occasions. You could offer to take him to a movie or an event—something he can't cash in to support his use. If you start to feel guilty for not giving money, remind yourself that any cash could go to support his use, and you've made this decision in his best interest.
So what can a parent do when a well–intentioned relative gives your child cash, after you've withheld it? Tell Grandma or Aunt Sue why you're withholding money, and educate them on what could happen if they give your child cash: he could use it for drugs, and they could actually be supporting his substance abuse, not buying him the jeans he said he needed. You can't control these family members, but if you've let them know what the situation is, they can make informed decisions themselves, and it's not a secret. Remember real life: your child will eventually be an adult, and he may go to relatives any time he needs or wants something. They will have to make their own decisions on what they'll choose to do.
What if your teen works and uses his own money for drugs or alcohol? What can we, as parents, do then? Not a whole lot. That's a personal boundary, and you can't control it. Your child's job may actually be a positive thing for him, and he may have worked hard for that paycheck. The lesson may be, "Huh, my whole check's gone on a bag of weed." That's a natural consequence, and your child will have to decide if it's worth it to him. Again, in real–life, many people blow their money on things that aren't good for them.
The difference between caring and care-taking comes down to clear, consistent boundaries. When your child was five, you were literally his caretaker. You held his hand when he crossed the road, cut his meat for him and monitored him closely. Over the years, you've allowed him to make more age–appropriate choices, and begin to experience and learn from natural consequences. He stays up too late, and he's tired the next day. The lesson he learns: If I don't want to be tired all day, I need to go to bed at a certain time. He leaves his homework until the last minute, rushes, and fails the assignment. The lesson he learns: If I don't put some effort into my class work, I'm not going to do well. These are lessons we all learned in life as a normal part of development. As adults, we continue to learn lessons through natural consequences every day.
So why do we tend to fall back into care-taking mode when our teen starts using substances? Because it's scary, even terrifying, and it feels like there is so much riding on his choices. Remember, the best we can hope for as parents is to prepare our kids for real life. In the real world, your child will encounter many situations in which a lot will be determined by his choices. As adults, we make important decisions every day. Your child will, as well, his entire life. If you rescue him from natural consequences now, it's simply delaying those life lessons.
This is important: there is a difference between rescuing your child and going to the other extreme of giving up. We've addressed the rights and responsibilities that are part of parenting a child who is using substances. If there's an area you're unsure of, or if you're encountering a particularly difficult situation and aren't certain what your rights or responsibilities are, consult a professional therapist. Ultimately, you know your child best, and while these guidelines can help you establish boundaries and hold your teen accountable, you must use your best judgment when making decisions regarding your child.

And it's the most down-to-earth while still being imaginative.
I would love to see the Johnny/Haji friendship depicted in live action. Bandit in live action is also a fun prospect.
Yes, unfortunately. But Coast to Coast highlights the problem with Superman-styled characters, like Space Ghost, Bird Man, and Mightor. I think modern audiences WANT to see such characters as ridiculous. Modern people just really don't believe in an archangel swooping down to save them. It has to be done for laughs or it won't be accepted. This is why the current Superman film franchise has shied away from the archangel motif. Superman in those films is very much a moral question mark, at least in the minds of the characters in the film.


Northeast Monitoring's DR200/HE is a combination 14-day Holter plus 30-day Event recorder integrated into a single unit that is designed for deployment to patients in either 'Holter' or 'Event' mode.
In Holter mode with a single, fully charged AA battery and a 1GB data card, the unit can reportedly operate as a 14-day Holter. It is available with 3-, 5- or 7-lead patient cables. The DR200/HE is compatible with NorthEast's flagship software product, Holter LX Analysis. The 14-day Holter is said to capture elusive cardiac events – every beat, all the time.
When the DR200/HE is deployed as a Tel-a-heart Event monitor, it uses a 2- or 3-lead cable. The Tel-a-heart data is analyzed with LX Event software from NorthEast. Data is transmitted via telephone (standard TTM) or read directly from the SD data card.


Come out and celebrate the end-of-summer with a wonderful day for the entire family. It all happens at Centennial Park, next to the Manotick arena, with the soapbox racecourse on the Beaverwood Road hill. There will be races, music, a craft table for children, face painting, balloon figures from Dr. Kaboom, and of course, a BBQ lunch of hot dogs and hamburgers to purchase and fresh FREE corn on the cob. Bring a picnic blanket or chairs and spend some relaxing in the park. It's not just a day for racing, but also a day for families to come out and enjoy the festivities.
Why not make the derby car a summer project? You must be at least seven years of age to race. You can purchase a kit on-line, or make one from items found around the house. There are certain specifications to follow and they can be found here. We also have carts available, that have been sponsored by associations and businesses in the community, for those youth who would like to race a cart, but don't have one. We have 14 available slots for riders in these 7 sponsored carts. Each rider will be able to race two times that day.
There will be a variety of trophies awarded, from speed, to most creative, humorous, colourful, best costumed driver and patriotic. Please see the judging sheet for criteria. See you on the hill!
