Morbidzbaby-That sounds about as bad as Jackie Earle Hailey in "Little Children". Ewwwww!!!!!
My worst date was trying to go to a comedy club with a girl from college, and they carded us! End of date.
Nope, my worst date was showing up at the girl's apartment, and no one is home. So, like a dummy, I call her the next day. She had a "cold", but apparently couldn't muster the strength to call me and break it off. "Can we try again, please?" she asks. So, the next agreed upon date, this time it's a note on her door (how graceful!), still has "cold", sorry!. That was it for me. She was really cute, too, but I had been burned and blown off too many times to have much patience for these games anymore. -

Judge forces Jehovah's Witness parents to allow transfusion for daughter with cancer
EXCLUSIVE By Hannah Silverman From: The Advertiser June 01, 2012 9:08PM
Girls parents refused transfusion on religious grounds Girl diagnosed with cancer of blood and bone marrow
Without treatment girl will die..."within weeks"
Doctors' court fight for girl's life
DOCTORS made an urgent plea to the Supreme Court yesterday to help save the life of a Jehovah's Witness girl dying of leukaemia. Justice Richard White ordered the girl, 4, receive treatment, including a blood transfusion to which her parents had objected on religious grounds. Paediatric oncologist Dr Petra Ritchie, right, said without treatment the girl "will die . . . I would say in weeks". Dr Ritchie said that the girl, who was diagnosed with cancer of the blood and bone marrow on Monday, had a 90 per cent chance of survival if she received treatment immediately.
Doctors had this week advised she needed a potentially life-saving blood transfusion but her parents objected on religious grounds. The parents' opposition prompted the hospital to petition the court saying that, without treatment, the girl would die in a matter of weeks.
In emotional scenes yesterday, the girls' father wept as he spoke of his love for his daughter. But he explained that his family's faith prohibited blood transfusions. "We adhere to strict Bible principles and one of those is to abstain from blood," he said. "We want the best possible treatment for (her) and the hospital are doing a great job. The only thing we don't consent to is the issue of blood.
" The hearing came almost two years after the court made a legal-first ruling to save a boy, 10. Yesterday Justice White - who also heard the boy's case - said that treatment was in the girl's best interests. "Without a blood transfusion, there is a very high prospect that (she) will die," he said. The father told the court that his daughter's illness became known to them about six weeks ago when she reported a sore leg and recorded a temperature. However, doctors told the family it was a virus and it was not until they took her to hospital on Monday that a diagnosis of leukaemia was formed. She said the girl was at risk of organ damage to her heart, brain and kidney. Even if the girl survived the leukaemia without a blood transfusion, Dr Ritchie said she could suffer learning difficulties and subtle cognitive and kidney damage.
Todd Golding, for the Woman's and Children's Health Network Inc, said Justice White should interpret the law the way he did in the 2010 case. "The court is to act in what are the best interests of the child. "The situation factually, as is clear from the evidence, (the girl) has leukaemia from which she will almost certainly die. "It is in the submission of the plaintiff that she receive a blood transfusion as soon as possible," he said. Ken Gluche, for the girl's parents, said his clients "deeply love their child". "It's not like they are acting with callous disregard for her wellbeing or her future," he said. "Clearly it's their genuine beliefs, it's something that they've been convinced to accept by anyone else, by the church or other believers.
" Robert Croser, for the child, said he had not formally interviewed his client because of her inability to appropriately instruct him. "Nobody on either side of the case wants (the girl) to die," he said. "Neither (the father) nor his wife and the wider Jehovah's Witness church would treat (the girl) any differently if the court orders she have the blood transfusion."
Justice White handed down his decision immediately. "I'm satisfied that this is a matter that should be determined urgently because (the girl) suffers from leukaemia and that requires urgent treatment," he said. "I'm satisfied that it is appropriate and indeed necessary for (the girl) to receive a blood transfusion. "I'm satisfied that there are no alternatives to the provision of a blood transfusion. I'm satisfied that it's in (the girl's) best interest to received the blood transfusion despite her parents' objections. "Without a blood transfusion there's a very high prospect (the girl) will die and that the provision of a blood transfusion would reduce that prospect markedly," he said.

From Wikipedia:
Female emancipationThe safety bicycle gave women unprecedented mobility, contributing to their emancipation in Western nations. As bicycles became safer and cheaper, more women had access to the personal freedom they embodied, and so the bicycle came to symbolize the New Woman of the late 19th century, especially in Britain and the United States.
The bicycle was recognized by 19th-century feminists and suffragists as a "freedom machine" for women. American Susan B. Anthony said in a New York World interview on February 2, 1896: "Let me tell you what I think of bicycling. I think it has done more to emancipate women than anything else in the world. It gives women a feeling of freedom and self-reliance. I stand and rejoice every time I see a woman ride by on a wheel... the picture of free, untrammeled womanhood." In 1895 Frances Willard, the tightly laced president of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union , wrote a book called How I Learned to Ride the Bicycle, in which she praised the bicycle she learned to ride late in life, and which she named "Gladys", for its "gladdening effect" on her health and political optimism. Willard used a cycling metaphor to urge other suffragists to action, proclaiming, "I would not waste my life in friction when it could be turned into momentum."
The bicycle craze in the 1890s also led to a movement for so-called rational dress, which helped liberate women from corsets and ankle-length skirts and other restrictive garments, substituting the then-shocking bloomers.
Personal aside: I couldn't find a quote, but I remember reading an article about how hard the clergy came down on female bike riding. Away from Husbands, Fiance's, and Parents! What immoral things might a woman be tempted into by riding off by herself?
So, bicycle allowed women greater freedom and less restrcitions. Who wanted Eve to enjoy greater freedom and less restriction? Wasn't it...Satan?!!!
So, while Caleb should be allowed to ride a bike, Caleb's mom should not, since the bicycle has such a terrible history.

Re:New DVD advance publicity
by CaptainSchmideo indo you all realize how much of a spoiler this is for the wtbs?
the convention cycle hasn't even started it's third week, and this dvd is getting full viewing all over the internet!
it's short enough and episodic enough to encapsulate on youtube, and has enough visual appeal to be more eye catching than the normal video products of the society.

It's short enough and episodic enough to encapsulate on YouTube, and has enough visual appeal to be more eye catching than the normal video products of the Society. So, the Society's "big surprise" is going to be "no surprise" by mid June, and the internet savvy teens will be whispering "Sparlock" to each other at the conventions during the talk leading up to it's presentation.
I'll bet the Society NEVER release something like this again at a convention, but will wait until after the season is over (Sept 1st, usually). Huge stepping on their own Johnson on this one.

If I was brave enough, I would call Brooklyn and ask to speak to someone in licensing, and propose a manufacturing deal for a Sparlock action figure.
