Should I switch agencies??? - Adoption.com Forums

---

Ok so I am seriously thinking of switching agencies... We have been on the open bed list since March and our last placement has been gone for almost 2 months.. Whenever I talk to my sw she says it is just really slow.. But I have friends in the other agency and they are full and have to turn down placements!!! So idk what is going on. Should I just hang out and wait or should I switch????
Some comparisons include:

My agency and the other have the same stipend rates. The other provides transportation to visits etc. my doesnt all the time. My agency is also an adoption agency, the other is not. My agency is also a member of the California Alliance, the other is not...

So what I'm asking is: wwyd??????

PM Note: Friday Night Fights, Hillary Speaks, Bad Joe on Benghazi, Good Joe on the Base

A Viral Video Sets Martha Raddatz at the VP debate to Chamillionaire It makes more sense than you might think. Watch it: http://bit.ly/Ou42wW

Sunday - This Week has Jake Tapper interviewing Rob Portman, Mitt Romney's debate prepper, and Beau Biden, Joe's son. Plus, our special "This Week" panel, in partnership with the University of Virginia's Miller Center, gives further insights into presidential debates, tackling the question "Do Presidential Debates Change Elections?" - http://abcn.ws/X2bCA3

Friday Night Fights - Buzz Bissinger and Peter Berg have a Romney disagreement - http://abcn.ws/THTug3

Bissinger made it into Politically Foul with Amy Walter - http://yhoo.it/Q52GoD

Last Night's Other Debate Brawl-A debate last night between Democratic Reps. Howard Berman and Brad Sherman, who are running against each other for the same California seat because of redistricting, got physical. After Sherman puts his arm around Berman, a police officer intervenes. http://abcn.ws/RTrXpp (Jonathan Karl)

Hillary Speaks - The carryover from debate had lots to do with Benghazi and Joe Biden's comment that the administration didn't know about requests for increased security. Those requests were detailed Wednesday in a hearing on Capitol Hill.

Dana Hughes reports that Hillary Clinton took a rare question on the issue and used some careful wording - which included that she's "cooperating" with the investigation - to defend Amb. Susan Rice and everyone in the administration.

?

"To this day we do not have a complete picture, we do not have all the answers," she said. "No one in this administration has ever claimed otherwise. Every one of us have made clear that we are providing the best information we have at that time. And that information continues to be updated. It also continues to be put into context and more deeply understood." http://abcn.ws/SQvA09

More on Benghazi and Our Full Buffet of Debate Night Fact Checks - http://abcn.ws/RBgVDl

WH Clarifies Biden's Benghazi Embassy Security Comment-Questions on Vice President Joe Biden's comments about the Benghazi embassy attack in his debate last night, specifically that "we weren't told they wanted more security there. We did not know they wanted more security again," dominated the daily briefing by White House Press Secretary Jay Carney today. http://abcn.ws/RD0czq (Jon Garcia)

But the drumbeat on Benghazi from Republicans has intensified:

An 'Inconvenient' Terror Attack - We'll point again to Mitch McConnell's interview on the ABC News / Yahoo! News live stream last night -

"It leaves you with the suspicion that since the president was in the campaign going around reminding everybody that bin Laden was gone and we were out of Iraq and we would soon be out of Afghanistan and implying that the war on terror was over that the campaign just felt it was inconvenient that we had a terrorist attack," McConnell said.

Romney Says Biden Doubled Down on Denial Regarding Libya Attacks-Mitt Romney today said Vice President Joe Biden is "doubling down on denial" when he said during the debate last night that the administration was not told the U.S. consulate in Libya wanted more security ahead of the deadly attacks there last month. http://abcn.ws/WcwTaN (Emily Friedman)

Flip Side - Benghazi was the bad news for Joe Biden. There's good news too, according to Greg Krieg: Joe Biden drove a shot of adrenaline into the heart of the Democratic Party last night with the kind of persistent and colorful attack on the Romney ticket that President Obama had struggled to make just a week before. The jury's still out on how Biden's performance played with swing voters, but for the segments of the base discouraged by Romney's emphatic showing at the Denver debate, Thursday night provided relief and renewed optimism. The full day after wrap - http://abcn.ws/SViYAE

Debate Hangover - Republicans continued to paint Joe Biden as something of a nutty uncle. Democrats continued to paint Paul Ryan as spewer of questionable facts.

Don't believe either side. There was no clear winner at Thursday's Vice Presidential debate. But there were plenty of memes, if you can still stand that word.

Amy Walter and Dan Kloeffler broke it down on the post-debate stream - http://abcn.ws/SV2pVf

Next up? Townhall Tuesday. It's a new format that could test Mitt Romney's dominance of Barack Obama a week ago.

Ryan Skips the Stimulus at Breakfast-Paul Ryan said today that he "felt great" about his debate with Vice President Biden, but declined to discuss Biden's taunting reference to Ryan's request for stimulus funds after criticizing the Obama administration program. http://abcn.ws/QhULX7 (Shushannah Walshe)

Romney, McDonnell Praise Ryan's Debate Performance During Virginia Rally-Mitt Romney and Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell praised Paul Ryan's debate performance last night, telling a crowd here that there was only one person on stage who was "thoughtful, and respectful, stead, and poised." http://abcn.ws/R471uG(Emily Friedman)

VP Debate Winner: It May Not Matter-Who won the Thursday's vice presidential debate? That's question is being debated by politicos, but the answer may take some time to emerge. (Elizabeth Hartfield)

'12 Voting Well Under Way; Who's 'Winning' Not Clear-The general election may technically still be a little more than three weeks away, but voting is going on now. http://abcn.ws/TciCq6 (Elizabeth Hartfield)

VP Debate: Biden, Ryan at each other in a moment

DANVILLE, Ky. (AP) ? At odds in an instant, Republican Paul Ryan cited the death of the U.S. ambassador in Libya as evidence Thursday night that the administration's foreign policy is unraveling. Vice President Joe Biden shot back in campaign debate, "That is a bunch of malarkey."

"Not a single thing he said is accurate," Democrat Biden declared in the opening moments of the only debate between the two vice presidential candidates in a national campaign with a little less than four weeks left to run.

Both men seemed primed for a showdown in their opening moments on stage.

Ryan said the administration had accorded insufficient security to Ambassador Chris Stevens, who was killed in a terrorist attack at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi on Sept. 11

Biden said the budget that Ryan authored as chairman of the House Budget Committee had cut the Obama administration's funding request for diplomatic security by $300 million.

The two men also tangled over the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, administration steps to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon and relations with Israel, an area where Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney frequently accuses President Barack Obama of letting down the United States' closest ally in the Middle East.

Biden, 69, repeatedly accused Ryan of misstating the facts ? "this is a bunch of stuff," he erupted at one point.

But the 42-year-old Wisconsin congressman stood his ground. Iran is "four years closer" to having a nuclear weapon as Obama's term nears its end, he said.

The debate took place a little more than a week after Obama and Romney met in the first of their three debates ? an encounter that has fueled a Republican comeback in the polls.

With Democrats eager for Biden to show the spark the president lacked, he did so early and often.

Unprompted, he brought up the videotape where Romney had said 47 percent of Americans pay no federal income tax and view themselves as victims who do not take responsibility for their own lives.

"It's about time they take responsibility" instead of signing pledges to avoid raising taxes, Biden said of Romney, Ryan and the Republicans.

But Ryan quickly recited the dreary economic statistics ? 23 million are struggling to work, he said, and 15 percent of the country is living in poverty. "This is not what a real recovery looks like."

Romney has gained ground in national and battleground-state surveys in the week since he shared a stage with the president, and even Obama has conceded he performed poorly.

Asked directly when they could reduce unemployment to 6 percent from the current 7.8 percent, neither man answered directly.

Instead, Biden repeated the president's contention that the nation is moving in the right direction, while Ryan repeated the Republican view that economic struggle persists even though Democrats had control of both houses of Congress during the first two years of Obama's term.

"Where are the 5 million green jobs" we were told would be created? Ryan said to Biden.

Republicans and Democrats alike have said in recent days the race now approximates the competitive situation in place before the two political conventions. The two men are generally separated by a point or two in national public opinion polls and in several battleground states, with Obama holding a slender lead in Ohio and Wisconsin.

Both men campaigned during the day as their political partners prepped for their moment on the debate stage.

Mocking recent changes in Romney's rhetoric, Obama told a Miami rally on Thursday, "After running for more than a year in which he called himself severely conservative, Mitt Romney is trying to convince you that he was severely kidding."

Romney visited with 93-year-old Billy Graham in North Carolina before speaking to an evening rally in Asheville, N.C. "Prayer is the most helpful thing you can do for me," he told the evangelist.

For Biden, Thursday night's debate was his first since the 2008 campaign, when he shared a stage with Sarah Palin, then John McCain's running mate.

Ryan spars frequently with Democrats during debates on legislation on the House floor and in the House Budget Committee, which he chairs, but not in a one-on-one encounter covering 90 minutes and a virtually unlimited range of topics.

For all their differences, the two men shared a common objective, to advance the cause of their tickets in a close race for the presidency ? and avoid a gaffe that might forever seal their place in the history of debates.

Romney's choice of Ryan as running mate over the summer cheered conservatives in the House, many of whom regard him as their leader on budget and economic issues. The seven-term lawmaker has authored a pair of deficit-reducing budgets in the past two years that call for spending cuts and changes in Medicare, blueprints that Republicans passed through the House and Obama and his allies in Congress frequently criticize. He also champions a no-tax increase approach to economic policy.

As a senator before becoming vice president, Biden was chairman of the Foreign Relations and Judiciary committees, and he has long experience in national security issues. More recently, he was Obama's point man in arduous, ultimately unsuccessful negotiations with Republicans on steps to cut the deficit.

Both Ryan and Biden held extensive rehearsals, with stand-ins for their opponents.

Biden turned to Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., who is well-versed in Ryan's policy views from his tenure as senior Democrat on the Budget Committee.

Ryan's foil in rehearsal was former Solicitor General Ted Olson, a skillful courtroom advocate.

Martha Raddatz of ABC News had moderator duties.

After they meet next week in Hempstead, N.Y., Obama and Romney will have one more debate, Oct. 22 in Boca Raton, Fla.

The Oak Leaf : Hotel Transylvania: A Halloween Monster Comedy ...

Hotel Transylvania is a lighthearted Halloween flick.

Cassidy Mila, A&E Editor
October 11, 2012

It?s October and the season of ghouls, ghosts and goblins is upon us. For now the list of movies that fit the bill is short, but that doesn?t mean they aren?t out there. The animated picture ?Hotel Transylvania? offers all the cute creepiness needed to keep the kids? attention, and plenty of under-the-breath adult humor and innuendos.

The story of a young girl whose over-protective father, Dracula (Adam Sandler), keeps her isolated in his hotel for monsters because after the passing of his late wife he believes all humans hate monsters and would like to see them dead at the end of a pitchfork. His sense of security is destroyed when his hotel?s first human guest walks through the door.

The movie is perfect for kids. It?s cute and full of lighthearted jokes, potty humor and the creepiness that?s expected from a Halloween movie. The mindless zombies that compile the staff of the hotel are a main source of ridiculous physical humor, and the shrunken heads that hang off every room door as a substitute for ?Do Not Disturb? signs are a main source of sarcastic, chop-busting dialogue.

Teens dragged along with the family will most likely find themselves trying not to smile, and enjoy the scenes in which the love interest of Dracula?s daughter Mavis (Selena Gomez) and the human, Jonathan (Andy Samberg) is in full effect. There is a rave scene when the hotel celebrates Mavis? birthday, and their teenage feelings as well as the perfect portrayal of rave goers made me chuckle more than once. The scene culminates with a rap performed by Samberg?s character that is unmistakably his music group ?The Lonely Island? making an appearance.

Most of the comedy that I identified with came from Dracula and his friends. In true Sandler fashion, he had all of his buddies from other movies play his character?s friends.

Kevin James plays Frankenstein, Steve Buscemi is the Werewolf, David Spade plays the Invisible Man, Jon Lovitz plays the cook Quasimodo and Ceelo Green is the Mummy. Together the ensemble is the main source for adult humor and ridiculousness.

As for the overall quality of the film, I haven?t seen a family movie that I enjoyed this much in a long time. The surreal creepiness and the off-the-wall humor made it feel like ?A Nightmare Before Christmas? meets ?Big Daddy.? The only knock on it is that the opening is a little weak. They set the plot and setting in less than five minutes, which felt a bit rushed. But soon I forgot my criticisms and started to really enjoy the movie. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone looking for a laugh or to get into the Halloween spirit.

CHICAS PRODUCTIONS: More than 50,000 musicians have money ...

More than 50,000 musicians have money waiting unclaimed...

By Alex Pham

This post was not written by a Nigerian prince.

SoundExchange, a nonprofit group that collects digital music royalties on behalf of artists, on Wednesday said that around 50,000 musicians have unclaimed money with the group totaling more than $31 million. The amounts range from $10 to $100,000 per artist or label, the group said.

Those who want to see if a check is waiting for them should visit SoundExchange and check the database.

Among the names listed are Mark Wahlberg's hip-hop band Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, The Smith Westerns and Joaquin Phoenix. It's not just musicians who have money waiting for them. Sinbad, whose spoken word albums have been part of an increasingly popular comedy genre for Internet radio shows, is also on the list.

Created in 2000, SoundExchange collects performance royalties from digital radio companies offered by services such as Pandora, Clear Channel Communications' iHeartRadio and SiriusXM's satellite radio. Traditional AM and FM radio broadcasters are currently exempt from having to pay performance royalties, though artists and digital music companies are lobbying hard to change that.

The sums collected from online, cable and satellite radio are nothing to sneeze at. More than $1 billion has been paid out to artists and record labels over the years, the group announced in June.

The amount keeps going up as the number of Internet radio listeners continues to grow and as SoundExchange succeeds in recruiting more artists to come pick up their royalty checks. In the first quarter of this year, it paid out $108.6 million, the first time SoundExchange exceeded $100 million in payments in a three-month period.
