My Special Girl

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
this image may not be reproduced

I realize that many of you have read occasional mention of my special-needs daughter in my various commentaries and perhaps wondered about the nature of her condition. I'd like to take a moment to share that with you (BTW, Strider is not only her Uncle, he is also her Godfather).

My special girl will be 4 in September. She's always been a sweet, smiling, and overall happy girl. She is my second child (her completely "typical" and equally sweet sister will be 7 in June). As such, I recognized relatively early on that my baby girl's progress seemed a bit delayed. Specifically she wasn't learning to sit up (instead she'd slouch/tip over when propped up, even in a boppy), she wasn't creeping or crawling, and even holding her bottle was a struggle compared to the abilities of the other kids in her day care class (I worked full-time back then).

We thought maybe she's just a late bloomer, but we feared that wasn't the case. Our fears mounted when we learned at her 12-month check up that her head hadn't grown at all since her 9-month check up. Since our brains undergo the most growth and development in our first year of life, this was very alarming news.

We took her to a pediatric neurologist where she failed multiple "self help" tests (e.g. when falling, one instinctively knows to outstretch one's arms/hands to block a fall, but our baby girl did not). From there she underwent a brain MRI. We learned from the head of Pediatric Neurology & Metabolic Disorders at Columbia University in NYC that her Cerebellum (the part of the brain that controls balance and coordination) was under-developed. Her's had a nucleus, but the surrounding area that should have been brain matter was actually fluid. He diagnosed it "Cerebellar Hypoplasia" (with accompanying low muscle tone). Through his diagnosis and the insight and test results from a myriad of other specialists we learned that this was not a metabolic disorder, rather just an anomaly. This was simply just the way she was born.

It was explained to us that she had a diminished body awareness coupled with a diminished speed in which messages from the cerebellum traveled to the various parts of her body. We learned that new messages could be remapped from her brain, and repetition of activities would help further imprint the message which would become more and more expedited until ultimately becoming a learned, instinctive function.

She was, thankfully, given a FULL prognosis with a caveat - as long as she showed continued signs of progress and as long as follow up MRIs didn't reveal any digression, she would have the ability to learn to fully function (though they said she may not be a top-level athlete, but that's ok because not many of us are either!).

She began therapy (physical, occupational, speech, and cognitive) at 13-months old. Happily after a few weeks of cognitive therapy, we learned she was a bright girl and didn't require that particular assistance. She received her therapies through the (federally funded) Early Intervention (EI) program. When she turned 3 she was no longer eligible for this program. Following an unnecessarily long, drawn out process, riddled with red tape, she transitioned into the special needs pre-school program at the elementary school, where she rides the handicap bus back and forth each day. Seperately, she continues to participate in private physical therapy once a week.

To date, her MRIs have not shown any digression, and she has made amazing progress. Though her speech is still delayed, she speaks now (quite adorably I might add), eats and drinks independently, sits up tall and steady, crawls independently, pulls to stand, cruises a bit, and is just now learning to ride an adapted tricycle and walk when strapped into a pediatric gait trainer (walker).

She is my special girl, and I'm so proud of her. I'll continue to post with periodic updates for those interested in following her continued progress.

The Gall

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

I wasn't aware that social security and energy are the 2 most important and vital issues facing our country right now. You see, they must be because President Bush, who has given the fewest number of press conferences of any President in recent years, has scheduled a Prime Time News Conference for this evening to discuss these topics. Gee, I would have thought a rare Prime Time address to our nation would be the perfect forum for Bush to acknowledge the fact that no WMDs were found in Iraq and possibly offer an explanation to the country he duped and an apology to the parents and family members of those who lost their lives to that end.

I really hope the majority of Americans will also feel as betrayed as I do when they see that Bush has the gall to use this forum as a giant soap box instead of a confessional.

And don't anybody mess with my Prime Time viewing!
Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

I thought I'd also add here the following comment that I left on MoxieGrrrl in response to the news that the House voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to reverse Republican-written rules that led Democrats to shut down the ethics committee. Republicans backed the resolution grudgingly. The Republicans, accused of writing the rules to protect Majority Leader Tom DeLay from investigations, heeded Speaker Dennis Hastert's call for a retreat in order to end the deadlock on the evenly divided panel. The vote was 406-20.

Our country will never better itself when we as a nation continue to foster blind, up & down the aisle partisanship, following the direction of our government's leadership..."You're either with us, or you're against us.".

It's essential for our nation to prioritize moving beyond that proverbial line in the sand. Sure it's easy and often instinctive to follow the majority and line yourself up with the popular bully on the playground because he and his crew have the power to manipulate people by using fear and imposing tactics to achieve his agenda. But, it's truly a show of strength and character to recognize that popularity isn't everything and that powerful bullies don't necessarily have their blind followers' best interests in mind.

As the blind majority slowly open their eyes and start to see the reality that surrounds them, the volume of the majority will fluctuate until those who can only follow blindly will find themselves suddenly in the minority.

That said, I'd like to think that a few eyes were opened with today's telling vote.

Lost? Perhaps not after tonight!

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

[Update: See comments for my reaction to this special. - Sar]

I'm sure I'm not alone in wishing that I had started watching LOST from day 1. But since I didn't, I figured there's no way I could dive in mid-season and know what's going on. Well, we all have a second chance! ABC is running a special episode of LOST tonight which is supposed to bring non-viewers (like me & hubby) up to speed as well as providing some interesting viewing for their existing avid audience.

Special: Lost: The Journey Airdate: April 27, 2005
ABC invites new and avid "Lost" viewers to take a fresh look at one of this season's most talked about shows. "Lost: The Journey" promises to explore the series in a way that will bring new viewers up to date -- but which current viewers will also find illuminating. From the back stories of some of the most interesting characters on television to the mysteries of the island, "Lost: The Journey" will provide an insightful glimpse at the lives of some of the survivors of the doomed Oceanic Airlines flight 815. Narrated in a linear fashion and culminating from the pieces of the back stories told over multiple episodes in the series, "Lost: The Journey" focuses on the flashbacks of a core of characters, illustrating who they were and what they were doing before the crash. In addition, the island itself will be explored - culled from events that have taken place - which may reveal some of its secrets.

That's So Crazy It Just Might Work

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

My girls were watching Sesame Street this morning before school, and a musical segment caught my attention (I found this related article about the segment). The monsters were bickering about which one of them should be able to individually sing the alphabet. Enter UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan to remind the monsters that they can all sing it "together". And Telly Monster followed with the all-familiar Sesame Street catch phrase "Work Together, That's So Crazy It Just Might Work".

Hmmm, maybe they're on to something there, no?

We Got Your Back Maggie Gyllenhaal

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

So Maggie Gyllenhaal is taking heat for actually being critical of our foreign policy and suggesting we take a look in the mirror and see why we were attacked on 9/11. Maggie has issued an official statement in regards to her comments :

" 9/11 was a terrible tragedy and of course it goes without saying that I grieve along with every American for everyone who suffered and everyone who died in the catastrophe. But for those of us who were spared, it was also an occasion to be brave enough to ask some serious questions about America's role in the world. Because it is always useful, as individuals or nations to ask how we may have knowingly or unknowingly contributed to this conflict. Not to have the courage to ask these questions of ourselves is to betray the victims of 9/11."
So her web site was berated by a swarm of people. This is the kind of posts that ended up on her site:

"I'm one of myriad millions who disagrees with her, Angie. But the only reason I'm
posting here is because the range of my sniper rifle won't reach Hollywood or New York City." - James
(post#243)

So this is the discourse? Say something critical or different...have your life threatened.

So I am sending a simple message to "James" and others like him who post things like this and don't even have the balls to leave their home page or e-mail address on their post:

Dear James,
"FUCK YOU!"
- Strider

Hope you find your way here 'James' (if that is even your real name) and claim your personalized post.

YOU WERE WRONG...I WAS RIGHT

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

ok...So here we go.

when all this B.S. about going into Iraq first reared it ugly head all I asked was that they let the inspectors finish their jobs.

bush and co. Brushed my (and others) concerns aside.

when they went to the UN, the UN asked to let the inspectors finish their job.

they essentially told them to F off...We don't need them. (especially France)

then the rest of the world was against going into Iraq (accept England and Poland)

bush pulled his best John Wayne and chose to go it alone...

now we KNOW they were wrong.

first off...The inspectors have now finished their inspections and guess what they said...

"As matters now stand, the WMD investigation has gone as far as feasible," Duelfer wrote in an an addendum to the report he issued last fall. "After more than 18 months, the WMD investigation and debriefing of the WMD-related detainees has been exhausted."

in other words...We found nothing!

oh and if you were wondering if the WMD's were sent to another country...Like for instance Syria...They had something to say about that also...

"Based on evidence available ... It is unlikely that an official transfer of WMD material from Iraq to Syria took place."

so where does that leave us?

strider was right once again.

so what does that mean? It means that people are starting to understand that they were duped by this administration...

Gallup: 50% of Americans Now Say Bush Deliberately Misled Them on WMDs

between this, Delay, Schiavo, social security, and gannon this has been a banner year for republicans don't you think?

hopefully the 'general public' will start to see how bush and co. Is really doing.

then again maybe I am expecting too much from the 'general public.'

Some things will never be different
Hungry and dumb, hungry and dumb (so wait in line)
Queuing up for some more junk food
It's not my fault, it's not my fault (just this once)
They're getting so much younger

Why can't you be more European
Bastard child of guilt and shame
Bury your head in the sand
I'm thinking six, six, six
I'm thinking six

Are you hoping for a miracle?
It's not enough.

[Words: Kele & Gordon]

PS. before anyone makes fun of my spelling...it is spelled 'bloc party'.

Pras of Fugees Samples U2

yes...I guess it was gonna happen one day. one of U2s songs is being sampled.

here is what Pras told rolling stone:


"I got Bono's cell number, and I called and asked him. He said, 'Really, my biggest record of all time?' I sent him the idea, he played it for the rest of the band, and they loved it. Bono called me back and said, 'Listen, I've never cleared a record foranyone, but I'm a fan of the Fugees and a fan of you. If this record can help you, go ahead and take it.'"

you can go here to hear the song if you like. let me know what you think...keeping in mind that I am a HUGE U2 fan.

also in U2 news. I have just noticed how much U2 opening acts kick ass on this tour. I knew that kings of Leon were opener in NJ but jeez they have some great openers on this tour. the killers, snow patrol, franz ferdinand and keane. U2 sure knows how to pick opening bands.

(nedhead...here is your chance to pick on U2. go for it.)

"The relentless influx of emails, cellphone calls and instant messages received by modern workers can reduce their IQ by more than smoking marijuana, suggests UK research. Far from boosting productivity, the constant flow of messages and information can seriously reduce a person's ability to focus on tasks, the study of office workers found."

Still No Top-Level Accountability

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

The US army inspector general's report finds no evidence of wrongdoing by Gen Sanchez and three of his top aides. For anyone who doesn't find this outrageous and needs a hard smack upside the head, educate yourself and let Wikipedia enlighten you (warning - extremely graphic photos included in link) with a reminder of the atrocities that occurred at Abu Ghraib. Then read on about the findings from the Army's Fay report and the independent Schlesinger panel's findings as previously reported in the New York Times that implicate Gen. Sanchez as a direct source of the horrific torture.

Yes, 5 soldiers have already been convicted and 3 more await trial, rightfully so, but where the fuck is the accountability at the top? This is becoming a tired theme in our nation. Especially when Bush, who continues to lead the pack in top-level non-accountability, handled this by promoting Sanchez and insisting Rumsfeld stay on.

Does anyone else feel the bile rising?!

I've made another blogger buddy, SheaNC, and I really want to encourage you to check out his blog at sheanc.blogspot.com.
There's an unbelievable amount of cool links, and equally cool posts.

SheaNC recently did a politically satirical post over at Pourquoi Pas? (French for "Why Not?") that is an absolute gut-busting hilarious must read. I do recommend, however, that you take a second to visit to the restroom prior to reading his post, or it could get messy.

SPAIN SUPPORTS GAY MARRIAGE - WHY CAN'T WE?

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Spain is a heartbeat away from approving legislation in support of gay-marriage. My reaction? Ambivalent at best. While I yearn for the rights and inclusion of homosexuals, and I'm therefore proud to see the intelligence and compassion demonstrated by nations like Spain and Canada in their continued backing and support of gay rights, I'm ashamed that we can't provide the same support here in America.

That's right, you won't see that kind of humanitarian support here in America where our administration continues to run counter to the founding principles of our nation which state to include the rights of all, especially the destitute. Yes, I would categorize the gay community as destitute based on the outright violation of character they suffer at the hands of mass ignorant fools, especially our administration.

And, I'm sorry but what a weak defense to try and disguise their blatant bigotry as a religious-based initiative. Bullshit! First of all, our country should not be governed based on any one religion, or ANY religion for that matter; hence we have separation of church & state. Secondly, if you want to bring religion (and in this case specifically Christianity) into the equation, these bigoted zealots are just dead wrong. "Do Unto Others As You Want Them To Do Unto You"; "Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself". How utterly ignorant and hypocritical to base your opposition to gay-marriage on these philosophies.

What the fuck happened to "America, The Land of Opportunity"?!

HUMMERS SUCK

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Yes you can see me...Strider here (second picture down) flipping of not only 1 but 2 HUMMERS at once.

feel free to go out and take some pictures and get your finger up on FUH2.

"Because it has a gross vehicle weight rating over 8500 lbs, the US government does not require it to meet federal fuel efficiency regulations. Hummer isn't even required to publish its fuel economy (owners indicate that they get around 10 mpg for normal use). So while our brothers and sisters are off in the Middle East risking their lives to secure America's fossil fuel future, H2 drivers are pissing away our "spoils of victory" during each trip to the grocery store."

RANT & ROLL

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

For quite awhile now, many of you have participated in political bantering threads with Strider & me. Well, yesterday, Strider & I took our political rantings on over to MoxieGrrrl.com and had a kick-ass time. In this particular thread, we kicked around the politics of gun-related tragedies with a varied audience including Moxiegrrrl, Strider, myself, other liberals, a wacko conservative wannabe, and our favorite pen of the day, a conservative we dubbed "Scribe". Made for some really entertaining and enlightening banter!

Although it has gained newfound exposure from it's recent highlight on CNN, I was originally introduced to Moxie's site by her husband (Kid Bastard) who I've know for many years. He's a pretty cool guy, and he occasionally posts & comments on MoxieGrrrl too. Knowing Moxie personally as well, let me tell you, she is just as kick-ass & savvy as her Moxie persona. This liberal chick knows her shit. I don't know how she does it, but she manages to find & post multiple provocative stories while simultaneously hosting and participating in the ongoing threads of each. Oh, and by the way, she also works and is mom to a super-duper adorable 4 yr old.

Moxiegrrrl.com also has some pretty cool links. But do be forewarned, Moxie, true to her name, has no problem telling it like it is and embellishing in a manner that some might find offensive (though Strider & I think you're a fucking pansy if you do!).

So, in between visits here at Sound Destruction, come join Strider & I over at MoxieGrrrl.com, get your political rock on, & let's rant & roll!

Why I Love David Duchovny



It is the intoxicating combination of his sultry good looks, sensual voice, and his amazingly brilliant mind that make David Duchovny one helluva sexy guy in my mind.

I was first drawn to David in his portrayal of Fox Mulder on the X-Files. As an FBI agent of the most unusual kind, Mulder shunned traditional office space in lieu of a crummy spot in the basement. From within the bowels of the FBI Headquarters, he spearheaded his search for the paranormal (and his presumed alien-abducted sister) while shirking all governmental athority. What a cool guy! As the seasons progressed, so did the sexual tension between Mulder and his partner, Dana Scully (aptly portrayed by the equally sultry Gillian Anderson). It became quite palpable, and I found myself seeing Mulder through Scully's eyes and feeling the muted sexuality that he silently screamed. I've never quite been able to completely separate David from Mulder in my mind. Palpable indeed.

So while the case for David's physical and avantgarde sexuality is easily made, so is the case for his brililance. David is a well schooled dude. He attended a Collegiate Prep School in New York and went on to recieve a bachelors degree from Princeton and a masters degree from Yale (and, no, he didn't have a certain connected daddy pushing him through). David walked away from the Ph. D. in English Literature he was close to earning at Yale, to pursue acting. He's since become an incredibly accomplished actor, director, and writer.

So, whether his new film, "House of D" is criticaly acclaimed or not, I am anxious for yet another chance to feast my eyes and ears upon this sultry, briliant, and overall sexy guy.
