Sissy Lambchop

She's getting to be a big girl now. She will be 11 in less than a month. She just has to play around with the camera, notice the difference in the background. Huh, I just noticed she needs a haircut.

How to deal with a troll

This is very helpful.

Family update and stuff

This cutie little lambchop above is doing fine. She seems to be doing well in school. She loves music and drawing. Hmm...sound familiar?
Sissy is improving somewhat in her studies. It could be better but I'm patient. There've been a few problems with behavior but nothing that can't be dealt with.
I'm doing as good as can be expected. Though I've been dealing with some online harassment, I'm gaining more intestinal fortitude ( like I didn't have enough already ) and dealing with the problem. The authorities have been contacted and abuse reported, and it looks like it has ceased for now. I hate to see the things I worked so hard on become overrun by trolls and turned into something dirty. The things I started as school projects have turned into much bigger things. I hear from the owner that the Art for Justice site is gaining donations. How awesome! We are still fighting for Jessica's Law. I hope everyone is doing well. Though we are many miles apart, though we are seperated by oceans, though I may not be on here as much as I'd like, though I may not contact you all as often as I should, I still think of you all every day.
Blessed be!

Oppose the Judges

Judges Push Pity For Offenders, Let Child Molesters Go Free

We have a very serious problem in our country, and it is growing. Judges in three states are denying justice to victims and pushing pity for the offenders. I'm sure you are aware of the story out of Vermont in which Judge Edward Cashman sentenced Mark Hulett, 34, who sexually abused a girl for four years—from age 6 until age 10—to only 60 days in jail for his crime. The judge said that Hulett needed help, not jail time. Click here for story. Now two similar incidents have surfaced. In Wisconsin, Judge Alan Bates sentenced Gary Hoff, 44-year-old former choir instructor for the Parkview School District in Orfordville, Wisconsin, to pay a $1,000 fine and serve 30 hours of community service for sexually assaulting a 16-year-old boy. Click here for story. In Massachusetts, Judge Suzanne V. Delvecchio sentenced Gregory Pathiakis, 26, to a suspended 2 1/2 year jail term followed by five years probation. Pathiakis pleaded guilty to one count of rape of a child, enticement of a child under 16, five counts of possession of child pornography and one count of distribution of harmful material to a child. Judge Delvecchio was honored in 2000 as the keynote speaker at the Massachusetts Gay and Lesbian Bar Association's annual dinner. Click here for story. These judges consider pity for the offender more important than justice for the victim. This kind of growing judicial activism must be opposed, and opposed now. Please send your email to the governors of these three states demanding justice for the victims. If we fail to speak out now, more innocent children will suffer and injustice will continue to grow.

Tony Almeida

Speaking of 24, this man right above, Carlos Bernard, is so hot! I love his character Tony Almeida. I swear if that man's character dies in this season because of his injuries he suffered in the first episode, I will be forever heartbroken.

Character
Surviving So Jack Bauer Can Live Another Day
By COELI CARRON
Day 1 of "24" - the Fox series that each season chronicles an eventful day in the life of the Counter Terrorism Unit - Tony Almeida was inscrutable and shadowy, a guy who would almost certainly turn out to be a mole. The next season, Day 2, he fell in love with his colleague Michelle Dessler and, a proven good guy, was handed the reins to the agency. On Day 3, married to Michelle, Tony almost lost her to a deadly virus and then committed treason to save her from the clutches of bad guys. And on Day 4, disheveled, haggard and broken, he emerged a third of the way into the season as still the only guy that Jack Bauer, the unit's star agent, trusts with his life.
"There are not many shows that allow you to play that kind of evolution in a character," said Carlos Bernard, who plays Tony Almeida. Day 5 of "24" begins tonight, and Tony returns not as an agency employee but as the owner of his own security business.
Mr. Bernard's Tony Almeida and Kiefer Sutherland's Jack Bauer are the only characters who have endured from the beginning of "24." "It has to do with the style of the show in that, between every season, there's this year-and-a-half-or-so gap, and you're able to imagine the change in the character and work in what has happened in between," Mr. Bernard said of the plot developments that have shaped his portrayal of Tony. "Between the third and fourth seasons, I was obviously put in jail, was released, started drinking and my marriage had broken up. There was all this I got to feed into the character."
Howard Gordon, an executive producer of "24," said, "Because we get only one glimpse of this one day in their lives, we have this obligation to dramatize how people have grown in this time." Mr. Gordon has high praise for Mr. Bernard's acting. "It's a charisma thing," he said. "Even just the way his head is slightly cocked, his voice is always a little bit low so you find yourself leaning a little bit forward to listen to him."
The performance is so appealing that it may have extended Tony's life span. "On several occasions, Almeida has survived first drafts where he died," Mr. Gordon said. "And then we said, 'Aw, we can't kill Tony.' He's kind of the character with nine lives."
Mr. Bernard's character is also unobtrusively Hispanic, in contrast with many Hispanic characters on television whose ethnicity, Mr. Gordon said, "becomes their kind of character, rather than the situation they're in." The low-key approach suits Mr. Bernard, who grew up in Chicago and whose mother was from Madrid. "I like that, because you know what? There are Hispanic-Americans in the workplace and it's not an issue, they do their job," he said, adding that the only time Tony spoke Spanish on the program was during the first season, when he questioned a colleague - "very briefly, just to drive a point home to her" - who had betrayed the team.
But as a cast member of a show known for being highly capricious with the lives of its characters, Mr. Bernard is hedging his bets. He's shopping around a dramatic series, set in Miami, with a Cuban-American lead character. "The show is not about him being Hispanic, but it does deal with his back story of having shelved his culture to get ahead in the American world and having to reconnect with that Spanish culture he put aside," Mr. Bernard said. "My run on '24' is going to come to an end, obviously. The show is going to end or I'm going to be killed off."

'24' Premiere Scores Highest Ratings Ever
By Christopher Lisotta
Sunday's special two-hour season premiere of Fox's "24" gave the real-time series its highest ratings ever in the adults 18 to 49 demographic as well as in total viewers.
The program, which began late at 8:13 p.m. (ET) because of a football overrun, scored a 7.0 time zone-adjusted preliminary national rating in adults 18 to 49 and 16.2 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research. The preliminary numbers also included Nielsen's live-plus-same-day ratings, which samples digital video recording until 3 a.m.
With the football overrun sampled in, Fox easily won the night in all major demos and total viewers. Compared with "24's" season premiere last year on Jan. 9, the show is up 15 percent among adults 18 to 49 (7.0 versus 6.1), up 16 percent among adults 18 to 34 (5.7 versus 4.9) and 9 percent in total viewers (16.2 million versus 14.8 million).

Help save the pet cemetary

There is a pet cemetary in MD that has been left to ruin, and now there is talk of selling it for commercial use. There are about 22,000 dogs and 20 pet owners are buried there. People were able to be buried next to their pets, if they wanted to. Please sign a petition to save the cemetary. It will be on the local news in MD tomorrow hopefully. Here's a link with the story: http://www.gimpydogs.com/petcemetary.html And here's a link to the petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/graves/petition.html .
