About Being Considered "Retarded"
I made this video after seeing a number of things: Other disabled people rushing to prove that they were not some thing called "retarded," being referred to here as a "mong" and other such words myself (on and off YouTube) as well as seeing lots of pointless ridicule directed at people with developmental disabilities, and being asked questions about what it's like to be considered "retarded" in casual contacts with people, or to "look retarded", whatever that means. I explore these questions, and the prejudice and dehumanization that surrounds cognitive disability of all sorts, in my video. (Yes, this is a serious video, not poking fun at people.) Apologies for the splicing, the construction noises in the background, etc, that's to do with the equipment I have to work with here at the moment. This video is captioned.

Ron Paul Considered
From the very beginning of this presidential primary season, the citizen journalists from Purple States have interacted with and interviewed every one of the major party candidates. By the end of their journey, they were admittedly fatigued by the redundant messages coming from each candidate. There was one man, however, who consistently came up in conversation as standing a part from the pack. That man is Republican hopeful Dr. Ron Paul. We noticed this tendency from early on and decided to document it. It seemed anomalous for five completely different people with varying political views to arrive on a common observation like this about a candidate that the mainstream media considers "fringe" at best.
But they did.

All Things Considered (Original) by Mike Rice
this is extremely personal i dont know what came over me to post this! My first original with lyrics on youtube, i wrote it years ago for my honey. i rarely play it tho coz i thought it was too corny. after watching some other singer/songwriters (especially logana13 and aben3084) it occurred to me that the translation for "corny" in artist-speak is "deeply and personally poignant". i made a couple of mis-steps in this performance, but i posted it coz it feels real to me. heres the lyrics:
All Things Considered~ words and music by Mike Rice (copyright mike rice 1997)
we met, i just could not stop talking with you
your wit, and all your beauty just shining through
your eyes, they captured me, and rendered me helpless...
and when i kissed you
suddenly the rest of the world just disappeared
(chorus)
All Things Considered, you make my lovelight shine
All Things Considered, you spawned this heartfelt smile
All Things Considered, i thank god your mine
your touch instills a feeling that i love you
so much, that passion soars and restores me anew
your love envelopes me and makes me certain
that time wont hurt us
we'll persevere whatever trials may occur
(chorus)
All Things Considered, you make my lovelight shine
All Things Considered, you spawned this heartfelt smile
All Things Considered, i thank god your mine
i'm sure ths testament of love may appear to be premature
but i dont care thats just the way that i feel inside, all that i need is your intoxicating self
and thats all i want
all things considered id say your my dream come true
(chorus)
All Things Considered, you make my lovelight shine
All Things Considered, you spawned this heartfelt smile
All Things Considered, i thank god your mine
i'm glad your mine,
i'm glad your mine.

A Kentucky woman is considered a medical miracle
Nanette Raymer has consistently worked hard to keep her high-blood pressure, diabetes and now kidney disease under control.
But, during some of the most exciting news of her life, Raymer found she had double the reason to worry.
"I feel really good," she said.
Six times a week she undergoes kidney dialysis at Baptist Hospital.
"I had lost 18 pounds and was still going to the kidney doctor regularly," she said. "She had said if you get to a point where you're really sick and can't keep foods down, it's probably time to start dialysis."
Diagnosed with kidney failure a year ago, Raymer wasn't surprised.
She has dealt with its precursor - diabetes - since she was a child.
What did surprise her was the news that she was expecting a child.
"I was very anxious and I kind of wanted it to be, to know that it was going to be okay but we never know that," she said.
Only 2 percent of women with kidney disease can even get pregnant.
This is why this news is even more incredible.
"The lady who did the ultrasound said, 'oh, I have a surprise,' and I said, 'I think I know I what you're gonna say,'" Raymer said. "I see two little flickers and she said, 'Uh yes, you're having twins.'"
At 28 weeks, Raymer was considered high-risk so she took up permanent residence at the hospital until her babies were delivered.
Dr. Cornelia Graves takes care of high-risk patients at Baptist.
"Some people would say, well you know this is dangerous," Graves said. "Yes, is, but this is her choice and she wants to continue with the pregnancy."
Raymer was on an insulin pump, which required a certain diet. She was under constant supervision.
"Our goal is to get her through the pregnancy and get her back on the transplant list and a candidate for transplant as soon as possible because we want her to live another 20 years so she can see her children grow up," Graves said.
Visits from loved ones helped her stay positive.
"Women are not suppose to be able to get pregnant when their kidneys don't work. So the fact that Nanette got pregnant despite her diabetes, despite her high blood pressure, despite her age, despite her kidney failure is really somewhat of a miracle," Graves said.
"I have a very strong faith," Raymer said. "We did a lot of praying even before we decided to see Dr. Graves. So, I think God has a big part in this."
Raymer said it is important to sign up on a local donor list and to fill out a donor card.
She delivered twin boys - Bryce and Blake Raymer - last week. The babies and their mother are doing very well.
