Warner Bros is hunting for the scoundrel who leaked a whole 30 minutes of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to the Internet. The footage was posted to sites like thePirateBay.org and scattered throughout the digital landscape; Warner Bros. is trying to scoop up the illegal clips.

"It's unclear if the leak will affect the performance of the film, the seventh installment in the 'Potter' franchise," The Wall Street Journal's Lauren A. E. Schunker reports. (That seems unlikely, as the films have made $5.4 billion so far.) Still, the studio is promising to "prosecute those involved to the full extent of the law."

Disney, Shanghai Partner to Invest Another $800 Million in Resort

Disney’s resort in Shanghai will open next year

Disney and Shanghai Shendi Group will invest $800 million to accelerate the expansion of their resort in Shanghai, Disney’s first in mainland China.

The money will be spent on additional attractions and other offerings to increase the capacity for the park, which is scheduled to open in late 2015.

The financing will be proportionate to the parties’ stake in the property. Disney owns 43 percent of the resort while Shanghai Shendi, a joint venture of three government-owned companies, owns 57 percent.

“Since we first broke ground in Shanghai we’ve been very impressed with the growth of China’s economy, especially the rapid expansion of the middle class and the significant increase in travel and tourism,” Disney chairman and CEO Bob Iger told TheWrap. “Our accelerated expansion, including additional attractions and entertainment, will allow us to welcome more guests for a spectacular Disney experience on opening day.”

The Chinese travel market is projected to grow 34 percent between 2012 and 2015, and the number of wealthy households will also grow.

“Like all of our parks, Shanghai Disney Resort was designed to expand over time, and this investment allows us to bring some of those additions online earlier,” Thomas Staggs, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, said in a statement. “The expansion underscores the tremendous opportunity we see in Shanghai and demonstrates our long-term commitment to and confidence in China.”

Top Portfolio Products: Franklin Templeton to Buy Stake in K2

Plus, Goldman risk-management fund targets RIAs and more product news

Portfolio Products logoNew products introduced over the last week include a new inflation-protected securities fund from Nationwide and a new variable annuity from Allianz Life. Also in fund news, Goldman Sachs Asset Management is courting advisors with its Dynamic Allocation Fund, which will hit the three-year mark in January.

In addition, Franklin Templeton announced an agreement to acquire a majority stake in K2 Advisors, and Trademark Capital Management announced that it has been chosen by Emerald Asset Advisors to manage its newly renamed EAS Trademark Capital Global Fund.

Here are the latest developments of interest to advisors:

1) Franklin Templeton to Acquire Majority Stake in K2 Advisors

Franklin Resources, Inc., which operates as Franklin Templeton Investments, announced Wednesday that it has agreed to acquire a majority stake in K2 Advisors Holdings LLC. This acquisition will enhance Franklin Templeton’s alternative investments and multiasset solutions platforms.

K2 will use the proceeds to purchase all equity currently held by TA Associates and to retire all K2’s debt obligations. The current K2 management will not sell any of its interests at this time, and will receive no up-front consideration in this transaction. Beginning in 2016, Franklin Templeton will acquire the remainder of K2 over a multiyear period. The transaction is subject to certain conditions including regulatory approval and is expected to close in calendar Q4 2012.

William Douglass III and David Saunders, K2’s founding managing directors, have entered into long-term employment arrangements in connection with the transaction and will continue to manage the business. No changes are planned for the K2 investment management processes.

2) Goldman’s Quants Court Advisors with Dynamic Allocation Fund After Shutting Hedge Fund

A year after shutting its fallen-star Global Alpha hedge fund and replacing its quantitative investment strategies group head, Goldman Sachs Asset Management (GS) is back on track with a successful risk-management fund that targets RIAs as investors.

The Goldman Sachs Dynamic Allocation Fund (GDAFX), which is set to hit the three-year mark this coming January after an early 2010 launch, is a solid contender within Morningstar’s world allocation category, with $1.3 billion in assets, 1.39% in expenses and a year-to-date return of 8.45% as of Monday.

3) Nationwide Funds Launches Nationwide Inflation-Protected Securities Fund

Nationwide Funds recently announced that it has launched a new mutual fund, the Nationwide Inflation-Protected Securities Fund (NIFAX/NIFIX), subadvised by Nationwide Asset Management. It has been established to provide investors with inflation protection as well as a liquid and low-risk investment option that can offer additional diversification.

The fund will primarily invest in Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS), U.S. Treasury-issued fixed-income securities that generate income and offer inflation-adjusted interest and principal payments, because they have a lower risk profile and, when used in a portfolio with other investments, can help diminish overall portfolio volatility. As a result, the new fund will also act as an underlying fund option in which the Nationwide Target Destination Funds may invest in order to obtain greater TIPS exposure. The fund’s A shares require a minimum investment of $2,000 and are expected to have an annual expense ratio of 0.80%.

4) Allianz Life Launches New Variable Annuity

Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America announced Wednesday that the Allianz Retirement Advantage Variable Annuity is now available within Wells Fargo Advisors’ asset advisor program. Designed exclusively for professionals working within the growing advisory services market, the product is a retirement solution that provides opportunities for tax-deferred growth potential or guaranteed lifetime income.

Allianz Retirement Advantage offers account choices with varying levels of protection, guarantees and investment options to complement a retirement portfolio, each with its own cost. The annuity provides clients working with a financial advisor at Wells Fargo Advisors new opportunities to add a level of protection to their portfolio that’s specifically designed for flexibility, legacy preservation, and lifetime income.

5) Trademark Capital to Manage EAS Global Equity Fund

Trademark Capital Management, Inc. announced Tuesday that it has been selected by Emerald Asset Advisors, LLC to manage the EAS Global Cycle Fund (A shares, EGCAX; C shares, EGCEX; I shares, EGCSX), now renamed the EAS Trademark Capital Global Fund. As subadvisor, Trademark will deploy its proprietary risk-based quantitative model developed by Trademark partner and portfolio manager Don Beasley.

Data-driven, the Trademark model quantifies risk through a methodology independent of individual decisionmaking, resulting in a disciplined, rules-based process with a tactical style and focus on risk mitigation. Its proprietary quantitative models apply to both macro-level allocations and individual security selection.

The festival of Diwali happens in India every year and people everywhere put up lights and it is considered beautiful and the same happens in the West starting a week from now till the end of December. Why on one hand we teach our kids to conserve energy and on the other hand we are so wasteful about it? Why do we add to pollution just because it is a tradition?
Go on and tell me the reasons for your choice in light of global warming and waste of resources.

We'll probably put a battery powered 'candle' in 3 or 4 windows, but that's probably it for holiday lights for us.
Why not switch to LED Christmas Lights?

Energy Savings

Energy Star testing has shown that 140 LED lights can be powered using the same amount of electricity needed to power just a single 7-watt incandescent bulb. That is roughly the equivalent of two LED light strings compared to a single bulb.

Long Life
LED lights are designed to last for many years, in both construction of the physical bulb, and the technology of the LED. An investment in LEDs guarantees many more years of use than that of incandescent lights.

Compare and Contrast LED with Incandescent Christmas Lights HERE:
I don't but its just because I'm too lazy and I don't believe in Jesus so what's the point. I do think they look pretty and I don't really mind my neighbors doing it. We have so many wasteful habits anyway. Which one do you quit first?
Here in Tennessee (aka Dumbshitland) i mention not decorating my house with festive lights for the holiday season due to wanting to conserve energy and not pollute and i get this response more than once.

"Hell boy pollutin'? Jesus will be comin' soon so it don't matter."

I typically respond with "Okay you believe in dressing up for church and being reverent and treating Jesus like royalty but you leave the planet devastated for his arrival. Kinda like expecting an honored guest and making sure the house looks like shit."
and a paradox in action
good info sydni. @ lisa, great point and am glad but i do believe in raising awareness. as far as wasteful habits, here are a few from the top of my head that we as a family had quit.
no plastic bottles and that includes our kids 5 and 2 also who use Klean Kanteen. We have kicked our habit of plastic bags for grocery shopping. we try to buy toys that aren't plastic and made by companies that use fair trade policies. don't buy paper plates or paper towels. buy clothes that use organic cotton and jackets like north face or patagonia that have recyclable thread program, are 100% vegeterian and 99.9% vegan, recycle (obviously), bike and walk whenever we can around town, buy local produce whenever we can and also always buy organic food.
this didn't happen overnight but now it is second nature to us. and we are still working on improving some other things but have not accomplished them yet.
First off I put lights up for me and my kids. We all like putting them up and we all like the way they look. Second I feel people like you are just like the christians of the world. I think you should do what you think is right for you and keep your beliefs to yourself. I help the world in my way and you help the world in your way. Don't put your beliefs on me.
Because it's tradition?
I do it because they are pretty, festive and because it's one of those traditions I can still get away with because it's not a religious one. And really the lights I use for this don't actually use all that much energy my energy bill might go up by $2-3 when I use them. I save more energy by making sure lights/electronics I am not using are off and unplugged than by avoiding some festive lights in the dull of winter for a few hours each night.
@brandon and kris.....pushing my beliefs, maybe you two are like christians when somebody makes you think, it is easy to say stop pushing ur beliefs in my face.......the point was that we teach our kids about the wise usage of electricity and than we do the opposite. and majority of electricity in america is produced by coal.
kris, sorry, i did misread your comment and my sincere apologies to you.
So by your logic, hybrid cars are worse for the environment than gas driven cars. You're going too far with your crusade against energy consumption, it's not holidays that are a problem it's wasteful every day use. Don't combat a single holiday of the year and ignore the larger 364 day problem ahead of you. Come on

Obviously the end of the world did not occur on the 21st, but of course some of those people who believe and follow Camping believe these tornadoes in the mid west are the start of the rapture and a volcano erupting... blah blah blah... But how are Christians using science to disprove this when they continue to ignore science when it comes to the bible?

How dare Christians who believe in the bible claim that the volcano erupting was due to plate tectonics and that tornadoes are typical this time of the year yet totally believe that a man can walk on water and 2 of every animal can fit on a boat.

It just baffles me that they pick and choose when to believe in science based facts...

I Agree.

I Think It's Completely Ridiculous When Religious People Use Science When It Benefits Their Beliefs.

But The Moment Science Is Used To Prove Them Wrong, They Completely Ignore It.

    Guess Who's Playing Joe Paterno?

    In news that shouldn't shock anyone, a feature-film is moving forward about Penn State's once legendary, now infamous head football coach, Joe Paterno.  Along with this, Michael Corleone himself, Al Pacino, is attached to play the title role.

    The picture will be built around the newly released New York Times Bestseller, Paterno, a biography written by Joe Posnaski that was in the works long before the recent, national scandal.

    While the biographical novel is said to focus on Paterno's early life and rise as one of college football's most prestigious coaches, his tragic fall from glory centered around his former assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky's pedophile crimes and Paterno's own ignorance in the matter will be the main selling point of the film.

    No word yet on who will direct or what actor will play Sandusky (can't imagine it would be a heavily sought after role), but expect much news to break on this project in the coming months.

    As for Al Pacino playing JoePa...couldn't be a more perfect choice.

↑ Return to Horror Retrospective

Pieces DVD  (Arrow Video)In 1983, I was fourteen years old and, as much as my mates and I talked about horror films and wished we could get hold of Betamax copies of The Evil Dead or The Entity, the fact is that the two films I most wanted to see that summer were Return of the Jedi and Octopussy. If we’d known at the time about Pieces, a 1982 slasher horror from director Juan Piquer Simón, I’m sure we’d have put it on our list – nubile girls, plenty of nudity and lots of gore. What’s not to love?

As it turns out, it’s taken me almost thirty years to get around to watching it, which I was able to thanks to its recent release from Arrow Video . I sat down with my wife, telling her nothing of the story – not that I knew a lot myself – and we spent the next 82 minutes or so thoroughly captivated. It’s not a good film, please don’t let me misguide you on that, but it is a great deal of fun.

The script originated from Joe D’Amato (director of a wide range of exploitation gems, including Antropophagous and Porno Holocausto) and Dick Randall (a man who truly enjoyed his exploitation films) and directed by Simón, who later made a film version of Shaun Hutson’s Slugs (which I saw years ago and am still trying to wipe from my memory). A Spaniard, he shot the film in Valencia (even though it’s set in Boston) and then went on to become the city’s film festival director (sadly, he died last year).

The film starts in 1942, as a young boy is making up a jigsaw puzzle of a naked woman. His mother comes in (after knocking first), screams at him for being a pervert – “just like your father” – and tells him to go and get a plastic bag so that she can burn the filth. He goes to get one as she works her way around the room, finding pornography everywhere until he comes back with an axe and proceeds to chop her up into pieces. The police and a helpful neighbour turn up, assume the boy escaped the killer and then we flash forward to 1982.

This short opening sequence not only sets up the story, but also reveals what we need to understand in order to be able to enjoy the rest of the film. It’s 1942, a title card tells us that, but the naked woman is clearly a photograph from the late seventies (from her waved hair to other details), plastic bags are routinely used and a push button telephone is shown in close-up. This film has a logic all of its own and your enjoyment will depend completely on whether you can buy into that logic or not.

In the present day, co-ed students of a Boston university are being menaced by a chainsaw-wielding maniac. It’s the summer, but no-one gives a second glance to the man wandering around in an overcoat, fedora and sensible shoes, who always uses the same model of chainsaw (a yellow one) that he often leaves at the murder site. The Dean (Edmund Purdom) is concerned, but not enough so that he’s willing to close down the campus. Instead, the police are called in to set up extra patrols. Leading them is Lieutenant Bracken (Christopher George) and his sergeant, Holden (Frank Brana), who also gets the film’s best line. When asked what the police are doing, he says “we’re just buying clothes without a label and trying them on for size”. Purdom acquits himself well, with his pale colouring and cautious demeanour perfectly suited to the role, but George seems to rely on long pauses in his dialogue (and you can almost see the other actors lean forward, as if waiting for him to start again), and his comedy bits-and-pieces (he spends the whole film chewing on a cigar, constantly asking Holden for a light only to be told – every time – “I don’t smoke”) are shot down by his poor timing.

Bracken decides to enlist his girlfriend Mary Riggs (Linda Day – actually Linda Day George), a championship tennis player who also happens to be an undercover cop. She is assigned to be a tennis coach and, in one painful scene, she and a student play together, but the same piece of film is used over and over, making it very clear that neither woman can play tennis at all. Also gathered into the fold is student Kendall James (Ian Sera), the boyfriend of one of the victims. Resembling Keith Gordon in Blow Out (and performing a similar role in the plot), he’s something of a lothario, working his way through the co-ed students – unaffected by either his girlfriend’s death or his constant discovery of fresh dead bodies – and even has a crack at Riggs.

The audience only sees the killer in shadow, or from shots of his sensible shoes or his black Marigold-gloved hands, as he puts the jigsaw together again and again before each kill (and, for a 40-year-old toy, it’s holding up remarkably well). There are plenty of red herrings thrown in, chiefly Professor Arthur Brown (played by Jack Taylor), a homosexual who is taunted by the students and lives at home with his mum (which, surely, would rule him out) and Willard the handyman, played by Paul L. Smith who clearly thinks he’s still playing Bluto in Altman’s Popeye, though his wide-eyed leering and lurching are good fun to watch.

Although it’s not made especially clear (or, at least, the film here uses a subtlety that it doesn’t bother with elsewhere), the killer is trying to recreate the woman from the jigsaw – or some kind of dream woman, at the very least (though he’s going about the project with even less finesse than the hero of Frank Hennenlotter’s Frankenhooker, if that’s possible). The head comes from one young lady, the arms are cut from another and so on. This is where the film does come into its own since, in fitting into the slasher-film cycle that was then in vogue (and D’Amato and Randall were nothing if not masters of this style) Pieces features some well crafted kill sequences.

The first victim is decapitated with a chainsaw whilst sunbathing (I think it might be the same girl who is skateboarding at the start, though she appears to collide with a mirror but is never seen again otherwise), which does lead to a lovely shot of the killer, bathed in lens flare, waving his weapon around. One victim is half-drowned in a pool, fished out and then chopped into small pieces, whilst another is attacked in a lift (her arm is quite impressively chopped off, then she’s left to bleed to death). The final death is a tennis player, who is attacked in the changing rooms. She ignores the front door and, instead, takes refuge in a small shower forcing the killer to break in and cut her in half – very nicely done. However, for me, the most impressive death scene belonged to the nosy newspaper reporter who is attacked on a waterbed. Filmed in slow motion, with some nicely chosen shots, it’s a lot classier a sequence than the film in general deserves.

Part of the skewed logic I mentioned above leads to some sequences that are bizarre but priceless. After the girl is killed in the swimming pool, the detectives and Professor Brown are surveying the gory remains with a yellow chainsaw right in the middle of the carnage. Lt Bracken asks for Brown’s expert opinion and he comments that it’s probably safe to assume that the chainsaw was involved. Later still, Mary is harassed by a martial artist, in a sequence that has no bearing on the rest of the film at all – she puts him down with a well-aimed knee, Kendall explains that the man is his Kung-Fu teacher, and said assailant slinks off never to be seen again. Of them all, the one sequence that I would love to watch with an audience comes right after the final death scene, when Mary – clearly angry and frustrated at what’s been happening – screams “Bastard!” at the top of her lungs several times, whilst Kendall looks on with an embarrassed expression etched onto his face.

For all that, the film is a lot of fun to watch (assuming you like cheesy, sleazy horror films from the eighties, that is – I think it’s important that I highlight that clause) and delivers the gore and nudity that you’d expect from a film of this time period. Simón keeps events ticking along at a good pace, it’s well made and edited, and the locations look nice. Once you get the tone of the piece – yes, it’s gory but it’s not taking itself one-hundred-percent seriously – it becomes all that much more enjoyable. I still don’t get the ending though.

Special Needs Spotlight: Sam

Hello all!  We are the Weinreb family; Todd, Kim, Sam and Abby and we currently live in Georgia.  We are not originally from Georgia, but are transplants from Utah.  The South is great and there really is true Southern Hospitality here.  Todd & I met in SLC, Utah in April of 1995 and married in January of 1996.  We waited a couple of years to begin our family and were thrilled to learn I was pregnant in 1998.  My due date was Father's Day, June 16, 1999.  We were prepared in every way: nursery decorated in Noah's Ark, crib was set up, carseat was purchased, little tiny clothes washed and ready, diapers stockpiled.  We were excited to meet him or her… we like surprises!  We just weren't really prepared for the BIG surprise that was coming our way.

Miggy:  Kim, you are one of my few moms who has a special needs teen.  I know it's been a while, but can you take me back to the day you found out that things were not 'right' with Sam, so-to-speak?  Do you remember how you felt?  Can you compare those first thoughts and feelings with how you feel  now?

Kim:  On May 18, 1999, during my 8th month appointment with my OB, I asked her why my stomach looked so lopsided.  I thought maybe the baby was lying transverse but she thought it was head-down but she didn't know why I was lopsided so she sent me next door to get a quick positioning ultrasound.  The tech did her job then asked us to go wait in the doctor's office and it didn't dawn on me that that was strange.  My husband was with me, thankfully, as we waited.  Dr. Bowman came in, closed the door and said, "There's a problem with your baby.  The head is too big for it's body.  It might be hydrocephalus so you'll probably need a C-section and you need to go see the specialists at LDS hospital."  What???  Tears started coming and the fear was setting in.  We went home and just sat there, staring into space.  The internet was still fairly new but we researched hydrocephalus and thought that we could handle it.  We managed to get an appointment with Dr. T. Flint Porter and as he was doing the ultrasound he said, "Well, theres a problem with your baby's brain but I don't know what it is."  At that point, a genetic counselor came in and discussed a couple of genetic problems that could be the culprit but no one knew.  They wanted to do a chorocentisis (taking blood from the umbilical cord) but the second doctor was concerned about other bleeding issues so that's when it was decided that I get a MRI.  I took a couple of valium, laid as still as possible and got the MRI.  We met with a big group of specialists:  neonatologist, maternal-fetal medicine docs, radiologist, our dear friend who is a nurse and us.   It was determined that this baby had had a massive stroke at about 5-6 months gestation.  Pretty darn rare, so rare in fact that Sam was in a study through the National Institute of Health.  Awesome!  Samuel Randy was was born on a beautiful spring day, May 27, 1999 via C-section, 3 1/2 weeks early.  Sam spent 1 week at PCMC NICU and then we were finally able to bring him home.  We truly felt like one of the lucky families in the NICU, we got to bring him home where as some never did.   I felt like I had done everything right… I took my vitamins, exercised, went to all my pre-natal appointments, etc., so how did this happen?  No one knew and we still don't know.  That's how life goes.  PS…it turns out that my uterus is heart-shaped and that's why my belly was lopsided.  Thank goodness it was or our experience could have been a lot worse.

Sam's current diagnoses:  intra-uterine stroke, hemi-paresis, CP, seizures, vision issues, global developmental delay, mild autism, shunted hydrocephalus, behavior issues.  Is that enough?  I think that's all I got!

As a new parent of any baby, you feel overwhelmed and scared but you get into a groove and figure things out.  There is a point at which I had to grieve for the child that I was "supposed" to have.  I had to learn what my "normal" was and get on with it.   I was busier than "typical" moms… shunt surgery at one month, Early Intervention home visits from OT, PT & nurses, yearly Neonatal Follow-up Program visits, etc.  It was all my new "normal."   I often said to myself, "It will get easier as he gets older."  I now know better!!  Sam has been in weekly therapy from the day he was born and we still continue!  After nearly 14 years, the feelings are quite a bit different.  You have to come to a point where you accept the fact that your child will never date, never go to college, never marry, never have children and these are hard things for a mom to accept.  You want your child to have everything in life and maybe, just maybe, what they have is enough.

Miggy:  There are a lot of us newbie special needs moms that have settled into a 'new normal' but who still have so many milestones ahead like school and puberty to name a couple.  :)  Since you are further down the road than a lot of the moms I interview, can you talk a little about the ups and downs over the years?  Have there been some things that surprised you, either for better or for worse?

Kim:  Oh boy!  There are so many things that didn't even cross my mind as I held that sweet baby for the first time.  Many of the challenges that came along were more than I was really prepared for!  Sam attended public school from Kindergarten thru the very beginning of 4th grade.  In the beginning, we really didn't have too many issues with getting him what he needed thru his IEP but as he got older, it seemed services were harder to get.  For us, we didn't want Sam to go to public middle school… middle school is tough for typical kids but when you add brain injury to that, I just couldn't do it and so we began our journey to look for a private special needs school.  I learned many things over the years about IEPs, parents rights, etc. in the public school system and it was not working for us anymore.  Any school I called was only able to handle Learning Disabilities and Sam was far more involved than that.  We were blessed to find a wonderful private school for Sam (Clearwater Academy)  that meets all of his needs.  It truly changed our life!  We went from going to therapies 6x/week to one time/week because all of the therapies (except for PT) were done during the school day.  I'm not going to lie, you really need to put on the battle gear when it comes to your child's education.  Mama Bear will come out and you have to fight for your child!

Sam is smack dab in the middle of puberty.  There is nothing like having a damaged brain soaked in testosterone!   We've had talks about that changes in his body and he gets it, for the most part, but we have yet to discuss the birds & the bees.  How do you tell a teenager about all that when he's functioning as a very young child?  That's something I didn't think about early on!!  What's next you ask?  Well, to be frank, we've already had to deal with wet dreams & masturbation.  Can I use those words here?  These kids have all the same feelings as you and I but they have no comprehension about appropriateness.  It is a cuh-razy time of life!!  You need to really deal with each issue that comes up as best you can.  There is no right way of doing this and you do your very best.

Miggy:  Explain how Sam's specific special need affects your day-to-day life?

Kim:  Sam is fairly functional but still requires a lot of care.  Due to the stroke, his right hand is not very functional…he can't tie his shoes, he can't ride a bike, he can't button a button or snap a snap, he can't do most two-handed tasks.  I still have to help him bathe, dress, put on braces, brush teeth, shave his face (seems awfully young doesn't it?!)  and wipe his bottom.  Say what?!  Again, it is what it is and as a mom, you just do it.  Sam also has some behavior issues that we deal with and that can get exhausting.  I am 4'11" and 90 lbs. and at this point, Sam is bigger than me and that can get scary at times.  He's been better thanks to meds but there is a trade-off…weight gain or anger issues?  I'll take weight gain.  Sam is very eager to help cook and do somethings on his own but he is still very dependent on us & always will be.

Miggy:  What are your biggest concerns for Sam?

Kim:  Right now, our biggest concerns are for Sam's future.  Where will he live?  Will he live with us forever?  Will he get a job?  Does he qualify for the Medicaid Waiver?  When do we need to apply for SSI?  Who will manage him after we are gone?  These concerns are all up front for us right now and it's a challenge!  Just today I spoke with a group that helps adults 18+ with daily activities, work programs, community services, etc.  The lady also suggested that I call about the Medicaid Waiver that helps pay for these services so I did that this morning and it could take years to qualify so even though these services don't start until he's 18, I have to start now at 14.  Another important thing that parents don't often think about in regards to their kids future is the need for a Special Needs Trust.  if your child has any sort of assistance (Medicaid, SSI, etc.) and they inherit money from grandparents or a long lost cousin, they could lose their benefits.  You DO NOT want that to happen!  Please, add talking to a qualified lawyer to your list of things to do.  And keep everything!  All medical paperwork, evals, etc., in a file folder…you just never know when you'll need it!  Keep all this in mind because it's coming fast!  As they say, the days are long and the years are short.

Miggy:  Now for a lighter question, have you ever had any funny conversations/moments you never imagined due to your special needs situations?

Kim:  When he was about 2 or 3, he was still getting the hang of walking and we were out w/some friends getting some frozen yogurt.  Sam tried to run and he fell down and some stranger picked him up, felt his head and said, "He's got a huge bump on his head!"  We replied, "Oh, that's his shunt, thank you."  His reply, "Are you sure?"  Yeah, we're pretty sure we know what the huge bump on his head is from.

Miggy:  How can people best approach or respond to Sam? Is there something you wish other people knew so as to avoid awkward or hurtful situations?

Kim:  Some of the things that are endearing when it comes to Sam were cute at 8 but not so much at 14.  Sam is super friendly, loves to introduce himself to others, have conversations with strangers, etc.  However, it will get to the point where it may be creepy… most people in our town know Sam and are super good with him and for those who don't know him, they can tell he's not "typical" and are sweet to him.  When Sam asks about someone he sees who is "different" I always try to make sure he knows that everyone has different challenges in their life and I remind him that he can't use righty well or that he wears a brace.  Everyone has something to deal with and everyone is special.

Miggy:  I know from firsthand experience what a special role siblings can play in your special needs journey.  Is there anything you’d like to share about your other children and their relationship to your son?

Kim:  Abby, 10, is Sam's little sister.  She is 3 1/2 years younger than Sam but she has certainly taken on the role of "big sister."  She is very patient and kind to Sam and they do get along very well.  It's often a challenge for her to have to explain to others about Sam and sometimes others have been mean saying that she has a weird family.  That's how some people are but I told her to just move past it.  Abby has certainly learned compassion and patience when it comes to others.  She is not afraid to engage or help others who are different.  Abby grew up in waiting rooms and that is common for siblings but it's important to remember that they need time away as well.  It was very important to us to NOT have the kids in the same school.  I didn't want Abby to be known as "Sam's sister," I wanted her to be Abby and I have found that it works so much better.  I have recommended this to other parents.  It's tough to be a sibling, Abby's life revolves around what's going on with Sam and that is tough to deal with.  There will come a time when she'll need to talk to a professional about her feelings or perhaps a sibling support group.  There are many resources for siblings and they need to be utilized.  Siblings can get lost in the shuffle and that's another thing I have to be vigilant about; making sure Abby's needs are met.

Miggy:  In your email you told me you know that you were prepared to be Sam's mom, can you tell us a little about that preparation or what you feel some of the biggest lessons you've learned since  becoming Sam's mom?

Kim:  When I've looked back on my life, I've seen the Lord's hand in guiding me and preparing me for Sam.  In high school I wanted to be a nurse so I took classes and volunteered in the hospital and at the fire department, all very cool!  I then went to a 2-year college where my major was pre-nursing and I took all sorts of great classes; biology, anatomy, physiology & I was the cadaver lab assistant.  I next moved on to the University of Utah where I took more pre-nursing classes, volunteered in the local ER every week, rode along with the fire dept, became an EMT, and was employed as an aide to adults with cerebral palsy.  I distinctly remember walking down the hall at the place that I worked praying in my heart, "Lord, please don't give me a child with special needs, I just don't think I could handle it."  After leaving UCP (United Cerebral Palsy), I worked at a home health agency where I learned about medical equipment, insurance, Medicaid, home health, etc.  However, I couldn't for the life of me, get into nursing school!  What's the deal?  I've done everything possible to prepare for that and after 4 times, I kind of gave up.  All of these experiences helped prepare me to take care of Sam.  I wasn't in the dark while talking to doctors about his condition, I understood how to talk to insurance companies about coverage and claims (a full-time job), I knew what was and was not covered under Medicaid.  I feel very blessed to know that I was prepared for Sam and that he belonged to our family.

I have learned that even though Sam isn't into the "typical" teen stuff…cell phones, video games, etc., his "things" are just as important to him.  Sam is still into watching Thomas the Tank Engine, Sesame Street and other shows that are way too young for him but they are important to him.  He's also REALLY into game shows, primarily The Price is Right and for some strange reason, he loves watching the news…local channels and his new fav, Face the Nation.

One day as we were driving he says, "Mom, do we have church on Sunday?"
"Yes, it's Stake Conference."
"I can't go.  Face the Nation is on and Bob Schieffer needs me."
Well, I guess I can't argue with that.

I now work on trying to make Sam's interests special so a few of the things I have done are:  got autographed photos from Bob Barker, Drew Carey, Rich Fields (TPIR announcer), Bob Schieffer and local news guys.  One year I even managed to get us to a taping of The Price is Right (photo above!).  It was an awesome experience and all because I am willing to ask.  The worst they could do is say no.  I want to make sure his life is as happy as I can make it and if that takes sending an email to Ken Jennings (the winningest player on Jeopardy) to request a photo, then I'll do it.  I want Sam to know that I cared enough to make his life special.

I have learned that I am very involved!  Team Mom for our Miracle League baseball team, Special Pops Tennis, Special Olympics, Autism Walks, Parent leader at his school, run a support group (Georgia Therapy Moms), set up a special needs resource fair for our town.  I really had no idea what I was capable of and what I would be able to accomplish.  If I don't get him involved, no one will.  We are our kids best advocates and no one, NO ONE knows our kids better than us.

All these kids have something special to give & share and it's our job as parents to find that special gift and help them share it with the world.  I believe Sam's special gift is to love unconditionally and he does that with everyone he comes in contact with.  It's a very special gift.

Kim thank you SO much for this amazing spotlight and for sharing your sweet Sam with us.  He's a sweetheart!  Plus I love your candor (yes you can certainly say masturbation!)  I don't know where to start with all the wonderful things Kim said... I love when she said, "All kids have something special to share and it's our job to help them share it with the world."  Also, I got teary eyed at the end of the first question when she said, "You want your child to have everything in life and maybe, just maybe, what they have is enough."  Yes.  Maybe it is.  Not to mention all the really smart advice about talking to a lawyer and thinking and planning for the future now!  Good stuff.  Thanks again Kim... from your first email I loved your energy and attitude, and this spotlight didn't disappoint.  Read more about Kim and her family on their blog here.

If you or someone you know would like to participate in the special needs spotlight series please email me at thislittlemiggy at gmail dot com.  In addition to parents of special needs children, I'd love to talk to parents who have child with special needs who is now an adult, as well as siblings or anyone else with a unique perspective.

Have a great weekend!

  1. Thanks for sharing these special families and their children with us Miggy.

    I am always so impressed with these parents and their fantastic attitude and strength x

    I have known Sam and Kim off and on over the years, and I Love that kid! He has always shown up on the perfect day in my life where I needed perspective. He is so joyous, and a great reminder that the things that make us mad, sad, and even complicated just do not really matter that much! He is full on and lives life to the fullest! Thanks for sharing this post.

    Such an inspiring family. Seriously, big props to Sam's fam and of course to Sam himself (I jumped to the blog & read some of the hysterical things Sam & his sister say....check that out, everyone). I agree with the issue of sibs...super-important and often-overlooked. In our family, we have found it best to have all our kids at the same school for MY ease & peace of mind, but there is a complete ban (actually instituted by our wonderful principal, not by me, she thought of it first) on disabled sib's interaction with his typical sibs' classrooms - which goes along with what Kim says above.

    Another issue this profile raises for me (and that I have no answers for, I am just thinking about it) - what about this issue of "kid disability = parent life." What are the benefits of parents jumping in and joining or starting organizations, groups, support systems, etc? What are the costs? What are the benefits of NOT centering activities around the disability? (I am probably not saying any of this well, and i do NOT mean to imply any sort of judgment, because we all do the best we can for our kids...) But I am curious about what others think, who have gone either direction or tried to straddle the middle? We have 1 kid with autism, but are NOT active with autism organizations (and yes, my child is severely disabled). I have not made a conscious choice to avoid organizational involvement; it just has not been a priority for us. (I am a room mom at school, though not disabled child's; I have been his Sunday School teacher...I don't know?) Mistake? Not? I would love to hear what others think.

    1. I think you do what works for your family. You also don't want to overburden yourselves with things/events/meetings that aren't important. I never did support groups, I didn't talk w/other parents about disabilities, I kept to myself and did my own thing. It wasn't until we moved that I felt a desire to improve our community; not much available at all. You are right, your life already revolves around the "disability" and you don't have to go out & search for it. Not everyone wants to go to support groups. We limit sports to baseball at this point, a few weeks in the spring & fall. We'll do the Autism Walk w/Sam's school team even though autism is not our main issue. Balance is hard to find but that's the goal we aim for. I'm happy to chat w/you anytime!

    Sam and his family are so wonderful...Mothers are the superheros of the world!

  5. Kim, you sound like an amazing mom! Loved this spotlight.

  6. This was great. I love how honest and upfront she is. Very touching, and a beautiful family!

  7. Such an inspirational profile! Kim, you are an amazing mother. Your introspection is humbling. All the best to you ...

  8. Ok. It might seem odd that the one thing I choose to comment on is talking to her son about sex BUT when I was in say kindergarten I apparently started asking my mom questions about boys and girls and bodies so my mom read "Where Did I Come From?" to me. I remember as a child it wasn't weird or embarrassing, it seemed to make sense and cover all the basics.

    1. I do have a good book to share, it's just the timing of it all. Parenting is so fun! Thanks for the book info.

A large flat-screen television is a must for the big game, but a large black blank space on your wall isn't quite so captivating during dinner parties. You could, of course, hide your mammoth monitor in the den or basement. Or you could install it front and center, and cleverly conceal it behind a handsome cabinet fitted with bifold doors, as we did here. With a simple frame and doors cut down from a single bifold closet door, this cabinet is easy to assemble and costs far less than its store-bought counterparts.

Landscaping Lessons

Mike Eagleton is often asked to conjure miracles from small, cheek-to-jowl city lots. The Denver landscape designer's own yard, around a 1929 brick cottage south of downtown, is a prime example of his professional sleight of hand. Within its 50 by 120 feet, he has incorporated sunny, street-side perennial beds, a private entry court in the rear, an elevated outdoor dining room, a secluded lounging terrace, a carpet of lawn, woodland views, a potting shed, and several destination strolls that lead to musical, spilling fountains. Front and back entrances, the latter marked by a wisteria arbor off the alley behind his property, make a garden walk of coming home. Almost year-round, despite his Zone 6 climate, with its frigid winters and baking summers, he's got something in bloom—in pots and borders and on top of arbors. Shade trees blot out neighbors' homes, and it's easy to forget, when he and his wife and their teenage kids kick back outside, that they're in a metropolis of 600,000 people.

Shown: An arched wood gate to the left of the front entry opens onto a fountain that muffles street noise. The brick path leads from front yard to backyard.

Slave the Study Guide

The Hidden Truth About Your Identity in Christ

Be the first to review this product

Format: Paperback

Availability: In stock

Quick Overview:

Now you or your group can use this study guide to drill down through each major concept in Dr. John MacArthur’s remarkable book Slave.
Free Shipping on orders over $25

As followers of Jesus, we call ourselves “Christians,” but the fact is this word only appears three times in the Bible. In the New Testament, you’ll find a host of terms that identify the followers of Jesus, but there is one metaphor used more frequently than any other. Slave.

That’s right. The first Christians, having been galvanized by the words of Jesus, gave up everything and called themselves slaves of Christ. Now you can learn why this word best described early Christ-followers—and you’ll see how an understanding of this truth changes the way to follow Him now. This discovery will unveil the riches of your salvation in a radically new way.

Now you or your group can use this study guide to drill down through each major concept in Dr. John MacArthur’s remarkable book Slave:

REWIND. Look again at the important passages.

RETHINK. Check all the angles.

REFLECT. Consider how it affects you.

REACT. Change your life.

The gospel is not simply an invitation to become Christ’s associate or friend—it is a mandate to become His slave.

“John MacArthur expertly and lucidly explains that Jesus frees us from bondage into a royal slavery that we might be His possession. Those who would be His children must, paradoxically, be willing to be His slaves.” —DR. R.C. SPROUL

“In this new book, John MacArthur presents a powerfully riveting and truly eye-opening look at our relationship to the Lord Jesus. Want to rise to a new level of trust and confidence in your Master? Then this is the book for you!” —JONI EARECKSON TADA, Joni and Friends International Disability Center

“Dr. John MacArthur’s teaching on ‘slavery’ resonates in the deepest recesses of my ‘inner-man’. As an African-American pastor, I have been there. That is why the thought of someone writing about slavery as being a ‘God-send’ was the most ludicrous, unconscionable thing that I could have ever imagined . . . until I read this book. Now I see that becoming a slave is a biblical command, completely redefining the idea of freedom in Christ. I don’t want to simply be a ‘follower’ or even just a ‘servant’ . . . but a ‘slave’.” —THE REV. DR. DALLAS H. WILSON, JR., Vicar, St. John’s Episcopal Chapel, Charleston, South Carolina

"Glow-in-the-Dark" Computer Mouse

Just weeks ago, I registered on a know auction site e*** after the many weeks of listia (though am still in latter site currently) and I love it there actually I love both sites though am more on listia for some reason. Anyway, I had fun with the first one though- I was chasing, bidding and won several items the latter only I have to wait for many days unlike in the latter that they prefer USA residents so sureness the delivery won't take long. One of the fun in the first auction is this colorful or I call it "glow-in-the-dark" mouse pad. I wanted to get two for my DH and I but I tried having one first, unfortunately I do not like because of its size -- I am used with bigger its size which I still currently use. I introduced it then to my DH as he arrived home and with all-smiles he like it!
glow-in-the-dark computer mouse head
What is/are your thought/s? What do you think, do you like it? If so, how do you like it?

By the way, personally, I like using computer mouse than laptop touch pad. So then, have a great Thursday everyone! ;-) ~hugs&kisses~

Boots for Cold Season

I believe everyone of us has different taste of what type of shoes one prefers to wear. Be it as for rainy season or for cold season. A weather like California which seldom rains as I prefer to call it "cold" weather when it is fall or winter time unlike most states in United States of A or any other part the globe which usually snow. Aright, everyone is unique. We have different type of taste. Just like me, as I live in California, my type of preference for my feet during cold weather are boots just like ugg boots as shown below. Only that I have to tighten my bucks shell so I can have this quality or I just use my sports shoes with thick jeans when going outdoor. Boots are great for such weather condition and hope to have flat ones to which I already have pairs of my basic colors which are brown and black (nevertheless the white I will get it next time *wink*). I hope I can already buy flat ones since what I have are those have heels. Ooh well, I was about to get the brown small one lately but it's not on my budget so the virtue of patience ranked first. ;-)

All I Want is Fast Stable Internet Connection!

Yes, since I cannot be in my computer all the time because of my primary work which is my husband's personal assistant, whoops a housekeeper that is! I have to wake up at five o'clock in the morning (5 a.m.) just to get my DH work suit (usually just only upper) then have to proceed helping minor stuffs before he left our rented-abode to his seven o'clock duty. Then house works next like making our bed off, let the sinks clean if ever there's something left from night's snacks or stuffs like that. Have not mentioned doing the laundry, wiping, arranging things, kitchen or the never-ending house works. And if I like to have my "me-time" or in the computer, which I usually does especially blogging, I really need a cooperative Internet connection. No "cannot communicate with primary DNS (meant Domain Name Server)" which I have to change the primary one to the proxy server. And that's a work, a hard work which needs more time and effort before I can proceed to a stable connection! By the way, sometimes it takes four to six (4-6) hours for stable one! How is that? It pretty pisses off huh! I often did the manual clicking from my right deep down computer screen to do the "ping" thing so I can change from one to another. Or I did several ways and means in order to have my computer up running which should have to be available all the time whenever I like to use. Good thing, I have now the short-cut method to ping my DNS. Woohoo! I hope this would continue for long until I know the new method personally. Seems like we cannot hold technology's fast innovation so we just have to ready for the new techniques, hope it would not be hard for me to learn. By the way, I got the new technique or short-cut method from my ISP which its customer service told me lately, actually, several times he instructed me about it, and now I have it again I figured-out I have to memorize it so I would not call them anytime there is a trouble unless if I cannot solve it by myself. Ah computer, Internet connection and DNS or other connections which evolve around it--hope you will cooperate when your boss wants to use you, huh! Hahaha. :P Just voicing-out. Now, am feeling better. :-)

My Wednesday Wickedness (Featuring Ellen DeGeneres)

Okay, it was a bit hard on my end days ago. I just need a relaxing moment aside from the scorching heat of the sun went up to approximately 103 degrees Fahrenheit. As in I just took a bath and then minute after, the hotness went up to my body again like I got burned or was on-field without any sunblock protection, yes like I got sunburn -- only that it didn't had marked. Dehydration occurs and lips cracking, time to time I put a lipstick with a balm or petroleum jelly to soften. I actually got one canker soar (outside of my lower lip, it is small but painful). I still have a little of that canker soar now though I treat it with mouthwash (if I won't forget. lol). To tell, it is hard gargling and rinsing with pure Listerine you know, but I have to or else I will endure the pain for long. So I choose to endure the harsh treatment but guaranteed it will heal not for a day but for a week or not more than two weeks unlike if I will not treat it -- it will remain not that painful but it is for long. Anyway, I like to have a WW today. And here it is (as always, my personal takes are below on the questions).

Hi and welcome to Wednesday Wickedness. We are like other memes in that we will ask you ten questions each and every Wednesday. But our little "twist" is that each week we will pick a famous person and pick ten of their quotes. Each of our questions will be based on the quotes. Got it? Great! Let's beg in this week's meme!
Today we picked Ellen DeGeneres. Here's Wednesday Wickedness!
1. "I was coming home from kindergarten--well they told me it was kindergarten. I found out later I had been working in a factory for ten years. It's good for a kid to know how to make gloves." How old were you when you started working and what was your first job?
My takes: I was lazy when I was a kid (all I used to do was read, memorize, play , some household chores, errands that was why my grandma always yelled unto me. lol) so definitely not yet in kindergarten I worked in a factory. How I wish I can that time but factory works in the place I was raised was not common. I salute to Ellen for experiencing it. How smart her parents are. So, outside work, it was after college I experienced outside work. It used always a home works. ;-)
2. "My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was sixty. She's ninety-seven now, and we don't know where the hell she is." Tell us about your grandparents.
My takes: My grandmother is not here anymore, she is already in heaven -- that was way back when I was still on my fourth-year college. I was 20 years old then. That was so sad. She was just young, 58 years old. It would be nice if I can still see her even she has dementia.
3. "Procrastination isn't the problem, it's the solution. So procrastinate now, don't put it off." Do you procrastinate or are you on top of the situations?
My takes: Yes, I sometimes (or most of the time) do procrastinate because I do things in order and thorough process.
4. "Sometimes you can't see yourself clearly until you see yourself through the eyes of others." What would others say about you?
My takes: I do not care what they will say about me as long as I did not do harm on them, I follow rules and regulations and if they want me go down, then they have a problem which they need to see a professional or a doctor.
5. "The only thing that scares me more than space aliens is the idea that there aren't any space aliens. We can't be the best that creation has to offer. I pray we're not all there is. If so, we're in big trouble" Do you believe in life on other planets?
My take: I believe a bit but in general, nope I do not believe. Hahaha.
6. "I'm a godmother, that's a great thing to be, a godmother. She calls me god for short, that's cute, I taught her that." Do you have a godchild?
My take: What? You taught her to call you god? Mm. You must think it twice or a millions. Oops no offense. Ha! ;-) But anyway, it is small "g" but still the pronunciation. Am just blatantly giving my "old school" belief for that. Again, no offense. :D And YES, I have a godchild but I do not taught/teach him & her to call me god, just "ninang" . :-)
7. "I don't understand the sizes anymore. There's a size zero, which I didn't even know that they had. It must stand for: 'Ohhh my God, you're thin.'" When was the last time that you were called too thin?
My take: That was when I was in my college years. It was a complete struggle doing school and house works as well as family thing. It was hard when you want to have someone to support you but you did not had it (at least I had but seemed not enough. I am not hard to get along with but seemed the test deeply had me). But anyhoo, I was still doing fun though, I had to or else I went insane. Err! (That was the past that already passed) Yeah, most of the folks who knew me said "you guys had a lot of food but why are you thin?" Err!
8. "I have the worst memory ever so no matter who comes up to me - they're just, like, 'I can't believe you don't remember me!" I'm like, 'Oh Dad I'm sorry!'" Who was the last person that you should have recognized but didn't?
My take: I cannot think of who that person is as of this time. I will tell you next time. :)
9. "I gotta work out. I keep saying it all the time. I keep saying I gotta start working out. It's been about two months since I've worked out. And I just don't have the time. Which uh..is odd. Because I have the time to go out to dinner. And uh..and watch tv. And get a bone density test. And uh.. try to figure out what my phone number spells in words." Do you work out? Have you ever joined a gym and quit almost immediately?
My take: Yep, I do workout but my own process. Haha. Yep, not in the gym, not ever. I have to take brisk walking at least twice a week, a promise to myself and so far so good. Hello it is just twice a week so I gotta have it or else I cannot breath to death.
10. 'We use 10 percent of our brains. Imagine how much we could accomplish if we used the other 60 percent." Do you feel that you utilize all your intelligence in every situation?
My take: I guess not all the time but trying-hard to do it whatever it takes. LOL.

Okay, that is all folks. This post should have gone live last night but I was not able to finish because of the circumstances that cannot be avoided. But anyway, just ranting and whatever. So then, have a great day to all! Enjoy and always have an extra care. :-) ~hugs&kisses~

Tuesday Thought

I am still in a bit of stomach trouble for now but thanks God it is not that ill. As doing this post, I am currently steaming a rice in a pot and cooling off the three or four cups of thread bean soup "misua" I cooked a minute ago mixed with three eggs as well as one-fourth of a piece of chicken bouillon and sauteed spices, namely: onion, garlic, tomato, scallions (green onion leaves) with a dash of salt. I cool it off over with a cooked rice. Time after time, I am also sneaking unto my plate eating. *grin*. After eating and that time the rice also is steaming, I can prepare myself going to the market and grocery store. Yes, I have to go to three stores to buy grocery goods and ready-to-eat beef for dinner, kitchen stuff on the other store and other one store for personal. I have to get back on or before 5:45 p.m. as DH will arrive at sharp six o'clock. Hemm.. I gotta go now, I need to tend to my hungry stomach. See you later folks! Have a great day and have an extra care.

My Nostalgia #6: 2008 Christmas Cards Received

I love receiving greeting cards especially during Christmas, birthday or sometimes valentines and thanksgiving day for my friends and family circle. But for my DH it is for all occasions like wedding anniversary or some of our personal special moments. ;-) Greeting card with simple yet full of thoughts bring good laughs, smiles and memories for me. I am in "old school" or traditional way when it comes to this, preferred the traditional way, though it does not limit. ;-) I feel special and important when someone special, close family and family circles or friends gives me. I remember I was not that particular way back on my younger years but for now, it really matters though as I said I prefer the "old school" type when it comes to this.

Above greeting cards was I received (together with my DH) about two years ago. Yes, it was December 2008. I remembered my first Christmas or a year before that cards received, was my emotional or should I say the loneliest Christmas I had. Yes, I was with my Dear Husband but there was really something I felt, that I cried discreetly a bucket of tears near the window, yes, without my DH knowing. It was hard when you are miles away with the people you grew-up with and so strange in the place where you live though you are with your other half at first years. Ah, nostalgia! One way to balance my loneliness is to dig-up and read my greeting cards. That is how precious it is because I believe when you give a someone a greeting card, you also giving your smiles with him/her. Imagining and balancing the bad and the good memories, good ones should weight high. :)
Anything that reminds you of a place, somebody, or something such as Old pictures, souvenir from friends, family, or place that you visited, experience or story.

Pregnant Women

Women are important especially those who are pregnant, their lives are important. I should say twice important than ordinary women because they are carrying an unborn ones. I presume a concern mother, must have a prenatal and take the best prenatal vitamins her doctor prescribed. If she is chasing of something she like to take, she must have to tell her doctor if it is good for her and the baby inside her womb. It is not advisable (in general for pregnant women) to take a chance, right? Any reaction there mothers and whom am talking to? (your comment are very much appreciated). I wonder if my sister does that. Oops, she must have delivered her baby already (so she must did it). I just hope all is well with her and her baby.

Diet Problem and Others

It seems you are looking for a diet pill there. You might be checking phentramine if it is right for you? You may like to introduce it to your physician or close at heart to have some constructive criticism or any he/she/they would say about it. Close to our heart is important in making decision as they are involve on the future actions and happenings. At least, you have someone to talk to and confident of trusting such important health-related stuff, am I right? Yep, you are right, you know it just have some unsolicited reminder? It might be (just do not be mad or raise your eyebrow). Ha! ;-) Sometimes it is in small statement makes our life great. :) Just some idea. :)

My Manic Monday for 07/12/10

Here is the glowing manic Monday again. Time for everything. Goodbye to day-offs and face the weekdays reality. But what can we do about it, that is already the trend for most folks. We just have to embrace what it has to do with us. Bad ones eventually gone. Ah Monday! Here you are and welcome! ;-) Manic Monday questions and my takes or opinion below:
Has reading a book ever changed your life? Which one and why, if yes?
My take: Hemmm (thinking), I cannot remember the exact book. There are many of them actually but it could some up to one, those were the books as I was still a student. Oops, I hope this answer is acceptable. :-) That is only I can think now. Poor me! ;)

Name one book you had to read but hated, and explain why you hated it.
A book without colors or images I do not like to read, not particularly hated but close to it. ;-) For particular of that book? Hemm (thinking) as I was a student, it was "HEKASI" book in Tagalog "HEograpiya, KAsaysayan at SIbika" in English as "Geography, History and Civic" but that was before (even it has colors and images, I guess the way the teacher taught us). I love to read and even watch it in television or anything about it currently.

If you could pick a book you’ve read to make into a movie, which one would you choose?
Hemm (thinking) am not really into particular but if I could pick a book which I have read and make into a movie it would be a recipe book by Nina of Ask Ms. Recipe. I want to watch that in a movie as was intimated because the author is a blogger and already like a blogger friend to me. :-)

Have You Seen or Have a Body Acne?

Have you had someone close to you or you just saw someone in television, in-person who have such a body acne? Or you have it? What then you did/do with it? Had/have you tried some treatment on it like acne body wash? Aright, I know the feeling of seeing such. And yes, we do not judge the person for having it but we cannot also stop our feeling about it. It is horrible though it is not that visible compare to the acne which used to grow in the face. You have that urge to just will be removed as soon as possible but that is all about it. You need to do something and that something can do much on your problem. You might now thinking of how to get rid of it or at least help. Good luck then. I hope you all the best.

On Building a House

I have many friends who are into building their house nowadays and even my close family circle just like my aunt and first cousin. Though theirs are not yet done but I can see the hard work and effort they exert unto it. Soon they could have a house as a home as they like it to be, perhaps their dream house or close to it. I have not seen yet if their house is made more of steel buildings material which is more durable (as they say) and the modern-type. It may not be the fancy house but the effort they give into it is more than fancy and they deserve to have it. And I am happy for them.

A Lively Workplace

Every office worker wants to have a beautiful lively workplace. It is either in a simple yet elegant way or just as what everybody has. One likes to do his/her work if office furniture blends of what he/she likes to have in the office. Such office must be comfortable and one might not like to leave even before one's work is already done. That should must be! Otherwise, you are working in a "not-so-work-friendly" work environment or worse, who knows? ;-) Or is struggling to have that wished comfortable one. I hope you for the best of whatever you wish and achieve for. After all, we are working to have what we like and for what we want what we love. ;-)

Have a Great Weekend!

I just want to say "have a great weekend" to everyone of you! May all of then have an awesome weekend and week ahead. :) Happy bonding with family, friends, mates and alike. Enjoy your day-off for tomorrow will be a very busy day again. Work, work and work! ;-) So have the best day! This day is officially the 11th of July here in United States of A. God bless, enjoy and always have an extra care. ~hugs&kisses~

Full Year Unlimited Web Hosting Package for $10 @ Nexx

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Nexx Online. All opinions are 100% mine.

It is great to have a domain blog, yes it is, rather than just a free domain. That is so because you can have your privacy and some other benefits which free domain does not have especially if your blog is intended for earning (
many e-marketing companies will get you if your blog is domain) or simply you just like it to have a domain. It smells fresher than not, let us just face that fact. The thing is having a domain is expensive especially for the wordpress , Joomla, Drupal and Zen blogs. Imagine that $71.40 or greater than that amount per year? But lo and behold because Nexx Online, Inc. have re-branded its web hosting platform service and to accompany such launch, it attaches a special promotion which only cost $10 for the first full year of Unlimited Web Hosting which include unlimited disk space, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited email, one free domain, 24/7 customer support, a $50 Google Adwords credit, $50 Facebook Ads credit and one-click wordpress or blog installations!

If you are planning to get a wordpress domain blog, this is a real deal. You can never go wrong of Nexx hosting services because as it has been said and proven, it is empowered by a top tier North American data center which uses clustered server technology, allowing proper resource allocation always so customers' websites will never go down or slow down. So what are you waiting for? Grab this promotion and keep the promotional code SPARK10 as you check out to avail!

How to Publish Blog Posts in Facebook

Be it as automatic or individual posts on your Facebook profile. It is visibly seen through pagerank that Facebook is now ahead of Twitter. You can also judged by how televisions treated the two or at least by how they told the viewers, yes, they utter Facebook first than Twitter. It is not used to be like that when Twitter is over Facebook but yeah, time change and now it's Facebook rule! Oops! :) Okay, you got me there. And now you want your blog posts be seen by your mates, friends and your closed ones. It's a great idea, so they also know what you are writing thus, your thoughts be seen and they have the will to get into it. Alright, I have Facebook but I just had (for just two or three days ago) my blog posts pulled though I already wanted it many months ago to have it on my Facebook page. I envied my co-bloggers as I looked on what they had, oops just that posts on their profile not literally but had no guts of asking how they had it. I just mind my own way and just think how would I came up with it. At last, two or three days ago I got it. And yeah, I could share it to you. Here is how I did it. (1) First, you must find a Facebook app (app is shortened as application) after logged-in on your Facebook account. You can do that by searching on the search bar or just click the "NetworkBlogs" on the bottom of one of my blog post on my Facebook profile. After that, you are now on step (2). As you can see, you are already in Facebook NetworkedBlogs page, you may then click the "like" or not but advisably, you may have to click it as apparently you like it. Then on the left side of the Facebook NetworkedBlogs page, you can see the blue colored marked word "Go to Application" and click it then you will be redirected it. Follow the instruction and register your blog(s) there, claim it as you are the owner and you are good to go on the next step on publishing your blog. Yeah you are not done yet, you need to follow the steps and instructions prior to get to the next level. You also have to get your feed settings, perhaps Facebook NetworkedBlogs cannot get it for you but mostly they're the one will get it. And there you go for step (3). Click on your Facebook NetworkedBlogs blog/s setting, then hit the Feed Settings which is located just below your blog/s shot (right side of your blog pulled posts (you can also publish individually by hitting the "publish" button if you do not like it directly posted on your Facebook profile once you have your new blog post/s). Okay, we will continue on the automatic process of posting on your Facebook profile once you have your new blog/s post. You are now on your Facebook NetworkedBlogs blog/s settings tab, mark check the blank box which is located on the center info as that meant as "Auto-publish to personal profile" which you can see above of what that blank box mean. After mark checking it, click on the marked word "Publish a Test Post" and there you can see that on your profile your blog/s link has already been posted. Hit the "publish" button after the post/s you wanted to publish on your Facebook profile individually at first so it will be pulled in to your profile then the next thing, your new post will then automatically published so no need to hit it again unless you want to republish it. You can also integrate Twitter with it, by just following the instruction on your Facebook NetworkedBlogs blog/s Feed Settings menu and done (if you have more questions about it, feel free to ask me for it and am happy to answer as I can of whatever it is)!

Joint Pain Problem

You may have it or you are about to have (just like me), joint problem that is. We cannot escape from this stage especially when the old age coming in, yes, but we can ease the pain by sciences and technology nowadays. Thanks to the scientists (I just forgot what specific kind of scientist but for sure not an aero *wink*) for the job well done. For some joint supplement reviews you may like to get from great genuine Website which could provide you an unbiased information good for what you really want. You may then like to check www.jointsupplementreviews.net and see for yourself. Joint pain is difficult and hard to handle if you could not get a help just like organic medicinal pain relievers and yes supplements. Get the one best for it so you will not suffer the irritable pain.

Acne Wash

There are different ideas and ways of how to get rid of acne. One of it and probably is inclusion of the process of the getting rid of such, is using acne wash. I remember of thinking to get a facial wash for myself two weeks ago because my face and my neck or body color is not even with it to which it is not used to. Yeah, it is used to even but not until of my age now. I guess because of washing my face usually without including my neck and body, oops I wash it (of course) but it just that I have to do my with my face more. But nope, I cannot find such in the store, instead different kinds of acne facial wash I saw. I just then chase, read and learn more about acne washes though that is not what I intended to do. Ooh well, it is an added knowledge of removing acne though I do not have this time, perhaps if I have or for my close ones if they have it. There comes a time also especially one or two weeks before my monthly period, I have the zits coming out. Until then, such acne wash is essential to me. I don't like zits and its scars, and never ever I will like it and sure thing, you too. Good luck with it then. Ha!

Greeting: Happy 4th of July to All of Yah!

Commemorating Independence of America every 4th of July, brings a lot of good memories especially to those who knew how American folks gave their bravery and their determination to make this place away from British government, yeah to become a nation of its own, the very own America. Let us toss to that! How do you celebrate it there? Do you have some "pigging-out", party and stuffs like that? Of course, you have too! *wink* -- or else you do not have any thoughts to our America's forefathers who gave their lives just to have this a nation, a free nation of its own. Happy 4th of July everyone.. God bless America and enjoy celebrating! :)

My Nostalgia #5: With Video City Co-workers and Salbakuta

I felt nostalgic looking at this picture below. Why? Because seems like I was a humble manager with my attire, oops! Nope, the manager is behind me on that picture-- the one with a long sleeve. I was a trainee such time that was why I was wearing a white shirt with my a name on it - a trainee, that is. That was way back year 2003, whew about seven years had passed but still the memories we had still so fresh on my mind working as a customer service associate. We were very close, just like a family yet just a co-workers. You bet, during inventory day (which happen during last day of the month) we were just like any other close siblings with our laughs and jokes watching some interesting movies or some rated movies, aww.. some kind of kidding with just a fun folks on the latter. ;-) *wink*

Secondly, why I felt nostalgic with this pic? It is because we had with Salbakuta Band that time visiting the store with the signal of our regional head that they will come as our guest. This band that time was an "in-thing" before because their music was a hit, so there were many people inside buying and renting our products as well as outside, glad our security guards managed to control the people. Ooh well some also are just nuisance. We had a lot of pictures taken that time with them, haha! But sadly, I just only had few on my hand right now (not to mention I only had one Salbakuta member with that picture, others were roaming around our store looking something but yes, we had with the complete band member pics but not with my hand). Perhaps I can request with my ex-co-workers. And the last but not the least as I felt nostalgic with this picture because this guy at the left side is already a seaman and make a good money right now, then the short one at the back also make good money -- a stable employee in a telephone company. The two also have the good stable jobs. I missed them. Our jokes, laughs, outings, night-outs, sessions and just some nonsense. I could say, it was a great encounter with them and a great company for just a contractual work, five months but we did a lot of fun while working. We're clicked! Isn't that great? ;-) Ooh I missed them. :(

Colon Cleansing

As for me, colon cleansing is no joke but is important. I could still vividly remember my close family circle as a victim of colon cancer and how she and her very own family struggled just to save her but to no avail. It is already close to acute and only a one of a kind doctor can treat her or a miracle from God. She was so thin and already gone her hair at the last days of her life and that is hard, yes it is also hard for me as I looked at her. I could if only she knew and treated it with her serious reading at colon cleanse product reviews before it became acute, it is very much possible she can be healed and until now she could be still alive. At the age of 40+, she was gone. Too bad, too sad. If only, yes if only.

First Wedding Anniversary Gift/s

Is your wedding special, simple or elegant? Is it worth a memory? Did you treasure it? How do you like to spend it on your first anniversary? What gi ft/s would you plan to give to your other half? Oops, so much question? Nah.. ;-)

If I could turn back the time, I would like to add a pr ecious personalized first wedding anniversary candle with a mark on it on our home sweet home dinner which gave to my DH aside from my simple first wedding anniversary gift two years ago. Whew! Time flies fast, about two weeks from now and it will our third wedding anniversary! I cannot believe it, it has been three married aside from two of our boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. And now going stronger, I love it! It is not easy living together as a husband and wife but a worth time. There are many time we argue based on our beliefs, culture, foods, or just some nonsense ones. :) But we managed it until now, yes, it is not about three years is not so biggie deal but if you happened to be on my shoes, I do not know what you felt. Aww.. that is just normal struggles anyway, it is just depends on how we fight for it. Ooh well I could say, we do not have a fancy home, fancy stuffs and alike but we have a fancy relationship. *wink* ;-)
