So, my nephew is 3 1/2 years old. His parent started potty training him like 2 months before he turned 3. One reason why he isn’t potty trained is because of the trial and error over their house. They put him on the potty once a day and only do it a few days out of the week. My nephew is VERY stubborn, and will not even attempt to potty train. I try to encourage him and tell him he’ll get Thomas stickers for going on the potty because he absolutely loves Thomas. Then 5 minutes later he will purposely poop in his diaper and tell me he did it and laugh. I tell him he’s not supposed to poop his pants and he just laughs and says he pooped his pants. I put him on the potty all the time and he just sits there, then he’ll go in his diaper right after he gets off. I am very involved with my nephew and want to get this process moving around. What can I do? I know you’re not supposed to rush children into potty training but at 3 1/2, this is just ridiculous.
Also, he has a 2 year old sister who is almost potty trained. He sees her go on the potty and get rewarded for it and he still laughs about it!
I’ve tried the underwear and the pull ups. (Both were Mcqueen from CARS) and I told him McQueen didn’t like him pooping and peeing in him, he still did it and laughed. I know it’s a control issue, because his parents are strict, so he feels like for once, he has a say in what he does. It’s very frustrating though.

05Colonialism in 10 Minutes: The Scramble For Africa
Posted By: admin on September 5, 2010 at 10:12 amAn excerpt from the film Uganda Rising showing in a (very!) brief overview the utter decimation of Africa that took place via colonialism and the so-called “Scramble For Africa.” Despite the film’s focus on Uganda, I think this excerpt sheds light on just how much of the violence that we see today actually has a colonial/European precedent rooted in exploitation and racism. It’s also an instructive lead in, I think, to Darfur in 10 Minutes: An Overview of the Conflict in Sudan. Uganda Rising was produced by Alison Lawton. It was directed by Jesse James Miller and Pete McCormack (me). Jesse also edited the film, and I wrote it. For more about the film, visit www.ugandarising.com.

05Ann Demeulemeester Spring/Summer 2009 Full Show
Posted By: admin on September 5, 2010 at 10:10 amI think this collection is a really interesting one… Many great pieces!!!… Ann Demeulemeester shows is always a kinda special universe and I totally love the atmosphere in the room… Sometimes things has to get a bit strange before I find it interesting… But this I find really cool! For collection review please click info: The power of an Ann Demeulemeester show is that even if you aren’t a card-carrying member of her club, there’s something in it for you. For Spring, she showed numerous permutations of her signature look: an unstructured jacket cinched at the back, shown this season with a draped and cowled blouse and narrow cropped trousers. The most striking example, though, came not in black and white (the prototypical Demeulemeester palette) but in coral and nude. The relaxed jacket was a few shades lighter than the bunched and undulating top beneath it, and the pants were candy striped in the same unexpected colors. What surprised most about this beautiful collection were the short cotton jersey T-shirt dresses, draped and gathered in a way that evoked both the twenties and tunics. Her liberal use of crystals also felt new. She embroidered them in medallions on vests and softly wrapped dresses or, hitting upon one of the season’s recurring themes, strung them like long fringe from the choker collars of high-necked tops. Of course, that was less a case of Demeuelemeester chasing trends than it was a happy coincidence. Happy is the way her audience felt as they …

As a parent who pays child support, is there any part of this bill (and what I have to pay into it) that would be affected by the amount I pay in child support? It seems fathers who are low income are forced into poverty by current child support law…. What I’m wondering is will this bill make it better or worse for us who pay child support?

*IMPORTANT* The article below deals with advice for men as to how to treat their wives. You have to be gentle, understanding and friendly to your wife. You have to talk with her in a polite and soft way and sweetness of words. When you find her sad and worried, you need to say you love her and you need to cheer her up with compassion as she might be feeling depressed or hopeless at that time at home. You should be her best friend, her support in her troubles. You should help her with the education of the children. The children will not give her a break and rest as they whine, cry, and ask for things day and night. If you help her, her Lord Allah will help you too. About the mistakes she did, you must not get angry or say rude words. Even when you have to give her silent treatment, you should cut it after one day. when you discover a bad habit of hers or a behavior you did not like about her, you should find the fault in you and say: “if I was a better person and had better behavior, she would be nicer, too”. When she gets angry, you have to be silent. When you do not respond her, she would regret and apologize to you. When she is helping, supporting and serving you, you should pray for her and you should thank and praise Allah since your wife, who is a good match for you, is a bounty by God that could never be thanked enough for. You have to treat your wife in a way that she needs to think “my husband loves me more than anyone.” About the household and financial issues …
