Finding toys that your child will enjoy and learn from is about understanding which play ideas suit which age – not whether the toys are hand-made, pre-loved, 'educational' or expensive.
The most important play for newborns, babies, toddlers and preschoolers
is play with parents. Try and make some time for play every day. It
doesn't have to be anything fancy – it can be as simple as having a tea
party with your child and her favourite teddy bear.
Here are some more ideas for choosing toys to suit your child's different developmental stages.
You're usually the best toy for your newborn. Your child will delight in watching your face, listening to your voice and simply being with you.
Your newborn will also enjoy looking at a brightly coloured mobile, listening to a wind-up musical toy or learning to reach for a rattle.
Toys with contrasting colours such as red, black and white are most interesting to newborns. Your baby will also enjoy toys with faces or with patterns such as curves or checks.
Around your home
Your baby or toddler will enjoy playing with push-along toys, soft balls, cuddly teddies, board or cloth books that can't be ripped, toy cars and trucks, blocks (building them up and knocking them down again), and a bucket and spade for the sandpit.
Surprise toys such as a jack-in-the-box and other cause-and-effect toys are fun from around 10 months on.
Simple puzzles, ride-on toys, and picture books with fun rhymes and bright illustrations will fascinate your toddler.
your child get crafty with crayons and butcher's paper, spend some
quiet time reading a book, or be creative with playdough, hand puppets
or dress-ups.
Safe fun with water
In the bath, your child will enjoy playing with just
about anything, including boats, toy fish, plastic books and coloured
foam shapes. Measuring cups and empty plastic containers are fun for
splashing, pouring, tipping and floating.
A paddling pool will be hugely popular in warm weather. Always stay with your child around water, no matter how shallow the water is.
Your preschooler is likely to enjoy anything that can be used for play-acting, such as a toy tool box, old mobile phone or dress-up clothes. Cardboard boxes can be turned into lots of things, including a toy stove, letter box, car or boat.
Try arts and crafts such as paints, crayons, pencils or cutting and pasting, or spend some quiet time reading books together or listening to stories.
Outdoor equipment – such as a bike, cubbyhouse, sandpit or swings (with
an adult nearby) – will keep your preschooler busy and active.
Your school-age child will probably have a clear idea of what she wants to play with. At this age, you can often be guided by your child's requests or a particular interest.
Even if your child's keen on the latest techno-toy with all the electronic bells and whistles, the classic and basic toys will always be popular. These include board games, books, art supplies, construction sets, jigsaw puzzles and outdoor toys such as balls, cricket sets, bikes, skipping ropes, roller blades and so on.
Technology in the form of appropriate computer games, CDs and DVDs is also popular with this age group. But a healthy family lifestyle includes limits on daily screen time.

Found October 14, 2013 on The Roosevelts:
The keyword here is what-if. What if some of our favorite athletes chose a different life path somewhere along their road to professional athletics. If so, they'd probably be working at some of the stores you frequent in the local shopping malls. The Foot Lockers and Modell's Sporting Goods are a no brainer, but what about some athletes that have a more unique style or charisma. We've complied a list of athletes and the shopping mall store that best compliments their personality. DeSean Jackson- Foot Locker - A natural – put the zebra stripes on him and he looks exactly like every 17 year old you've ever purchased a pair of Nike's from.

SACRAMENTO — State Controller John Chiang did not have the authority to dock legislators' pay last summer after concluding that the budget they passed was not balanced, according to a tentative court ruling Tuesday.
The Legislature meets its obligation to pass a budget when it sends the governor a bill that, "on its face," proposes spending that does not exceed revenue, wrote Sacramento County Superior Court Judge David I. Brown. He will consider finalizing the ruling at a hearing Wednesday.

JONESBORO, AR (KAIT) – A woman is behind bars for trying to get
prescription under a fake name and fleeing arrest.
On Thursday, the Target pharmacist received a call requesting to
have her prescription transferred from Walgreens in Fort Smith to the Target in
The pharmacist became suspicious and contacted her supposed doctor
to confirm that her request was real. The doctor then faxed the pharmacist a letter
stating he never prescribed Tramadol to a patient by the name of April Wink.
That is when the pharmacist called the police.
Jonesboro Police responded to Target a few minutes later, the
officer advised the woman presenting the fake identity that she would be
According to JPD, the suspect stated she had a medical procedure
done recently to her and she requested to go to the restroom before being
handcuffed. The suspect signaled to the officer that she had blood stains below
her waist.
The officer took the woman to the restroom from the Loss
Prevention Office in Target when she took off attempting to escape. She was
caught just outside the business and placed in handcuffs.
She then continued the story that she was Annette Hailey born in
1982 but when the officer ran her name through dispatch they were unable to get
a return.
She insisted she was Annette Hailey and minutes later demanded to
see her mom who had just pulled up to the business. The officer walked towards
the relative and asked for her real name.
The mother told the officer that the suspects name was Landra
Guntharp. The woman seemed unaware of that name.
Dispatch ran her real name this time and stumbled upon warrants.
She is now being held at the Craighead County Detention Center,
facing charges for fleeing charge and outstanding warrants.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — Communities should avoid breed-specific dog bans
Communities wishing to clamp down on vicious dogs by banning specific breeds are probably barking up the wrong tree.
Animal rights groups argue if a community wants to consider such regulations, the proposals should be generalized, such as a dangerous animal or a generic dangerous dog ordinance. We agree.
Kevin Hatman, a spokesman for the Michigan Humane Society, says his group opposes bans on specific breeds, such as pit bulls.
"They usually just punish responsible pet owners," Hatman says.
Waterford Township, which has adamantly defended its breed-specific ordinance since 1990, is reconsidering its tough stance.
Supervisor Gary Wall says township officials need time to study the issue.
He says the ordinance, which specifically bans pit bulls, has come under fire recently at township board meetings.
Wall says he's getting daily emails and phone calls. There are some who support the ordinance but he admits most want it changed....
Generic dangerous animal bans are working in other communities in lieu of dangerous dog ordinances.
Chief Dan Jensen, director of public safety/chief of police in Grosse Pointe Farms, says dangerous dogs are covered under the city's animal control ordinance, which does not name specific breeds.
He says the current regulations give the prosecutor flexibility in dealing with dog-related problems.
The most common problems are when a dog bites a family member or neighbor. If it's a repeat problem, the owner could end up in court and be ticketed and the dog ordered to be put down.
Or the owner could be punished with a warning.
In some rare instances, the prosecutor has ordered extreme measures, such as keeping the animal confined to an enclosed area when outside....
Lt. Luke Riley of the Sterling Heights Police Department says the city has a dangerous animal ordinance but it is not breed specific.
It considers most dog bites as a misdemeanor with fines ranging from $250 to $500.
"It all comes down to the owner and how the dogs are trained," Riley says. "Dogs may bark loudly when a visitor comes to their home but they are not dangerous, you want good watch dogs to do that."
While details of the ordinances may vary, having such non-specific breed regulations is the best way to go for communities....

Using a magical name in the craft is an old and important part of our tradition. There was a time when it protected those who would be killed if it was known that they were of the Wiccan faith. If someone was arrested, they would only know the magical name of others, thus protecting each other. I feel that a magical name is something that works for some, feel like the wrong size dress for others. That is, it may sound pretty, but it is not a reflection of the person within.
Although magical names have been used for many years, they are not something that has to be done, such as a step or goal to becoming enlightened. They are only something that will help you focus your energies on the intent you are working. A magical name can be beautiful and fulfilling, but not a must have.
Not to dismiss the idea, magical names can help connect you to the Divine, or with your intended path more closely. Many people feel protected by anonymity when using a magical name, this then frees them to concentrate on being able to learn and ask questions with confidence.
There seems to be a trend towards finding a magical name as a necessary step before proceeding with learning about Wicca. This is simply not true. There are fun sites that will match you up with some mystical, breezy sounding name, that seems to be a persona you would hope to become. This sounds wonderful, but belittles the idea of becoming or practicing Wicca. Let me once again stress, finding and using a magical name is an extremely personal thing. It is different for everyone, and there are many who simply do not feel they need one.
If you feel that you would like to find a magical name for yourself, here are some steps to help you choose.
Meditation - If you have been reading for the past year, you are not surprised to read this. I feel that meditation is a large part of being a Wiccan. It is what I still practice doing, and feel that I have not perfected, after all these years. Meditation is a tool that is always with you, always useful, yet the least used. Contemplate where you see yourself right now. Are you beginning your journey? Concentrate on those images that come up when you think of yourself as a strong, loving person. Write the images in your BOS and think on them as you go about your days.
Journaling - Are you spending time each day, just writing? Try taking 5 minutes and simply let the words flow. Do not correct, spell check, think to deeply on what you have written. When the time is up, reread and see if there is a phrase or word that you see with regularity. How about a theme? It is also useful to keep your dreams written here. I keep a small notebook by my bedside, and record any dreams that I remember. To me, these are things that need mulling over.
Listen to your inner voice - Possibly the hardest one to do, listening to your inner voice is a great way to find the spiritual name that fits you the best. There is nothing wrong with having a conversation with yourself. Often we want something, like a mystical name, but our inner voice is reminding us that we are not trying to be mystical. We are trying to remain grounded to the energy of the earth.
No matter how you choose to find your name, know that it is a special and personal journey that is to be cherished. It will not happen immediately, it will not happen on a web board or during an online chat. If it is something close to your heart and you listen carefully, you may already know what it is.

Natural Selection
Rachael Harris, Matt O'Leary
Directed by Robbie Pickering
First-time feature director Robbie Pickering shows promise to spare in Natural Selection, a small gem of an indie movie whose rewards far exceed its bare-bones budget. The marvelous Rachael Harris stars as Linda White, a real-life Texas housewife, minus the makeup, teased hair and spike heels. For 20 years, Linda has been a good Christian wife to Abe (the excellent John Diehl), a hypocrite who hasn't had sex with her since she was diagnosed as infertile—don't you know it's a sin to spill your seed when impregnation is impossible? Imagine Linda's shock when not-so-honest Abe has a stroke while jerking off at a Houston sperm bank he's been sneaking off to. With death knocking on Abe's door, good wife Linda decides to track down one of the results of Abe's mammoth wanking sessions. He's Raymond (Matt O'Leary), an escaped con Linda finds in Tampa, Florida, where he avidly avoids the cops and soap and water. The road trip, with Linda driving Raymond back to Texas to visit daddy Abe, is the heart of the movie. Credit Pickering's deft script for avoiding the usual clichéd speed bumps, though sex and lies are on the menu. No fair giving away the film's secrets, which involve Linda's bitchy sister Sheila (Gayland Williams) and Peter (Jon Gries), Sheila's minister husband with a long-standing crush on Linda. What matters is the magical alchemy between Linda and Raymond. Or should I say the connection between Harris and O'Leary, two actors ready for every curve ball the script throws them. The scene in which they break into a diner and talk their hearts out is outstanding and a calling card to mark Pickering's potential as a filmmaker. O'Leary is ultra-fine as a shut-off dude gradually opening up to feeling. But even Darwin would cede Natural Selection to Harris. Best known as Ed Helms' nagging fiancée in The Hangover, Harris is just perfect without ever looking down on Linda's faith in God and herself. Her performance earns a special kind of glory.

Half of the show at Elaine Stritch's farewell stand at the Cafe Carlyle was in the audience.
A couple feet from the stage sat Bernadette Peters. Across from her was Tony Bennett. Next to Tony was Liza Minnelli, and next to her was Michael Feinstein. Near the door was James Levine of the Met. And in the far corner was Tom Hanks, his wife Rita Wilson, and Martin Short. Even for the most jaded New Yorker, it was a starry room.
Hanks, whose show, Lucky Guy, had opened the night before, was of particular fascination to Stritch. "You have no right to be that talented," she said. She continued to vamp on Hanks for another ten minutes, praising his performance in "Sleepless in Seattle" and congratulating him on his Broadway debut, leaving Hanks no choice but to shout out "I love you!" from his banquette. When she said she had some advice for the movie star, he yelled, "I've got my pen! I'm ready!"
|photo by Joseph Marzullo/WENN
"This is an evening with Tom Hanks," Stritch joked after a while. "When is your opening?"
"Well, it was last night," called back the film star, "but it pales in comparison to tonight!"
The actress and icon referred to her goodbye act as "just saying hello. I've been getting on stage and saying hello all my life." Following her performances at the Carlyle, where she has performed off and on since 2005, she will retire and move back to her native Michigan. "I'm going to be taking it easy," she said, "because every time I leave the building lately, I fall on my ass!"
As a piece of cabaret, the evening was more talk than song, though her longtime musical director Rob Bowman sat at the ready at the piano the whole while. Stritch sang a total of three numbers, each lasting about a minute: the World War I-era ditty "How You Gonna Keep 'Em Down on the Farm"; a bit of a Cole Porter paternity-suit parody of "You're the Top" called "You're the Pop" ("My mistake was in getting plastered/What a break for the little bastard"); and Rodgers and Hart's "He Was Too Good to Me."Continued...

Daily Star
---- —
Depending on the electronic device you have these days, accessing news can be made nearly as soon as something happens. Oneontans of 125 years ago got their news on a weekly basis, courtesy of The Oneonta Herald.
The Herald got some new competition beginning on Monday, May 2, 1887, and it was quite exciting when residents of the area could get their news daily, due to the introduction of the Oneonta Daily Local.
"This day marks a new event in Oneonta's history," the opening day editorial read. "In recognition of the demands of our business men and the frequently expressed wish of many of our citizens for a daily paper to record the occurrences of our embryo city, the Oneonta Local steps forward and makes its introductory bow to our citizens. It is the pioneer daily of Otsego county, and with hopeful diffidence the publishers launch their little newspaper bark upon the sea of public criticism and, they trust, of public favor."
The Local was 10 cents per week delivered at your door, or two cents a copy.
It wasn't actually the first daily newspaper, but it did have a longer life than another in 1871, called the Morning Call. That endeavor lasted two issues.
The Oneonta Local got off to a good start, as the editorial on May 3 stated the reception was favorable, as "a score of newsboys scattered the little sheet broadcast through the village as well as could be expected from an impromptu lot of little fellows who seemed to catch the spirit of excitement and general commendation which greeted our initial number."
"It will take a few days to get the new enterprise well under way, and until such time we invoke the patient forbearance of all our readers, as the work is as new to the publishers as it is to the people." The publishers were J. Sherry Smith and H.M. Worth.
The Oneonta Local was short-lived, but it covered some interesting stories of the time.
From Vol. 1, No. 1 came the first local news item, "The clock tower and dials have been nicely painted." This was around the time the first town clock went operational, atop the former Westcott Block, now the parking lot between the Ruffino Mall and 242 Main St. Another news item several below that one read, "The striking of our town clock can be distinctly heard at Wm. Fuller's, on upper East street, a mile distant."
Probably the biggest news story covered by the new paper came that same month. The Wednesday, May 18, edition shows a front page article with an image of a rooster, with headline stating "This Rooster Crows over the Success of the Normal School Bill. HURRAH!"
The Normal School is today's State University College at Oneonta, with the first building opening in 1889.
"The Normal School bill, which has been watched with so much interest by our people, has been signed by the Governor. The news had no sooner been announced than it spread like wildfire all over our village, and the face of every resident, large or small, was wreathed in smiles."
Congratulations were expressed to those who worked to get the bill passed, and the Local was kind enough to "tender our condolences to our weeping brethren of the Franklin Delaware Literary Institute!" The school had been competing to get a Normal School located in Franklin.
Other news stories covered construction of 168 new buildings of several kinds, including the First Presbyterian Church, a knitting mill, a chair factory and a sash, blind and door factory.
Work began on an upper reservoir for the village's water supply, a first sewer was laid on Ford Avenue, and electric lights made their first appearance.
One of the advertisers in the new paper was B.F. Sisson & Co., which boasted of a new store. Sisson's had opened in 1885 at a location near today's Clinton Plaza, but had relocated to 180-184 Main St. after a fire, where it did business until 1988.
The Oneonta Local lasted into February 1888, as another new paper, the Oneonta Daily News, said in its first edition, "The recent failure of a similar enterprise has apparently only intensified the popular demand for a daily newspaper."
That too was short-lived, as the Oneonta Daily Star became the fourth effort at a daily newspaper in June 1890.
On Monday: Some news items from April 1982.
City Historian Mark Simonson's column appears twice weekly. On Saturdays, his column focuses on the area during the Depression and before. His Monday columns address local history after the Depression. If you have feedback or ideas about the column, write to him at The Daily Star, or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

10 Benefits Your Employer Will Cut Next Year
Companies are slashing jobs, benefits, perks--even the holiday party
Many employers will frantically ax jobs in the coming months in an effort to improve their bottom lines. Other companies will wield a scalpel to whittle out cost savings from employee perks. A whopping 86 percent of companies expect recent financial market changes to affect employee benefits in the next year, according to a recent survey. Here's a look at the where employers are likely to make cuts.
Layoffs. Large employers, including Citigroup and Sun Microsystems, have already begun massive layoffs. Americans lost 240,000 jobs in October. And the current 6.5 percent unemployment rate is the highest since 2004. Analysts predict that many more layoffs are still to come. A mid-October survey of 248 companies by the consulting firm Watson Wyatt found that 26 percent of employers expect to make layoffs in the next 12 months.

Ahead of Snowstorm, Newtown Closes Schools Wednesday
Posted by Gary Jeanfaivre (Editor) ,
With the expected severity and timing of the storm — it's forecast to dump upwards of a foot of snow and about a quarter inch of ice — school districts are taking an unusual step and announcing the closures the night before, instead of the morning of as is customary.
The storm has also caused a delay in the start of the 2014 Legislative Session in Hartford, which was scheduled to start Wednesday.
Travel is expected to be extremely dangerous, according to the National Weather Service, and the combination of heavy snow and ice could lead to downed tree limbs and power lines.
A wintry mix will start as early as 2 a.m. and then convert to all snow a few hours later. Snow is expected to fall all day and potentially mix back in with sleet later, according to the NWS.

With the election just eight days away, two of Washington's three female candidates for Congress blew into Kirkland on a windy fall Monday to promote entrepreneurship and small business, science and technology education and jobs training as keys to restarting the economy.
Democrats Sen. Maria Cantwell and Suzan DelBene -- both facing conservative Republicans on Nov. 6 -- came to Kirkland to campaign and talk with owners and managers of two small downtown shops, two restaurants and a bank.
In recent polls, incumbent Cantwell is comfortably ahead of State Sen. Michael Baumgartner of Bellevue -- 11 percent in a recent SurveyUSA poll for KING 5 television. But DelBene, the former state revenue director, Microsoft executive and startup entrepreneur, is locked in a tight race against former dairyman and Snohomish County Councilman John Koster. A SurveyUSA poll for King 5 last week put her up 46-42 percent, a boost from a previous poll that gave Koster the edge 46-42 percent.
Cantwell said DelBene would be an instant expert in Congress due to her technology background.
"We want to focus people on getting out the vote, supporting my re-election and on electing Suzan DelBene," said Cantwell, on a 26-city campaign swing. "Suzan would automatically be seen as an expert in startup business, IT reform, net protection and things like that, and that's a real advantage for our state."
DelBene said she felt momentum going into the final week of the race in the first election for the huge new 1st Congressional District, redrawn last year in response to the 2010 U.S. Census and now considered a swing district.
"It's been great to meet with people from the Canadian border to here in Kirkland," she said. "Folks want to get the economy going again, and they understand how the public sector and the private sector need to work together. In this race, people have a clear choice in candidates."
The candidates visited first The Grape Choice, a wine shop owned by Democratic State Rep. Larry Springer, who is also up for re-election, there chatting with Kirkland Chamber of Commerce Director Bruce Wynn about the need to encourage technology startup business. Cantwell noted the importance in that regard of STEM schools -- standing for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, and a bill she co-sponsored in that regard, the America COMPETES Act.
Cantwell and DelBene also chatted with Springer about the changing nature of the wine business. Springer said when he opened the shop some years ago a majority of the wine he sold came from California wineries. Now 70 percent of the product he sells comes from Washington wineries.
The tour then moved on to Simplicity Decor, where owner "A" Leingboonlertchai told the candidate about difficulties he had getting a small business loan to open his new children's store nearby, Simplicity ABC. U.S. Bank gave him a loan to open the first shop in 2006, he said, but would not approve a loan for the new shop, opened earlier this year, due to the weak economy. Finally, he found a loan through a private party.
Cantwell noted the importance of access to capital for small businesses in restarting the economy and said the Small Business Lending Fund she co-sponsored in 2010 would soon be up for reapproval.
The candidates also stopped at Ristorante Paradiso, where owner Fabrizo Loi talked about wanting to open a second restaurant, but being hesitant due to the difficulty of finding reliable employees.
At Banner Bank, branch manager Dave DuBois said lending was easing up to some extent. "We're blessed here in the Northwest with a lot of high-tech companies," he said. "Manufacturing and the housing market is still struggling."
One issue holding back lenders, he noted, is that rates are so low banks fear that when rates do go up, they'll be stuck carrying unprofitable loans.
The last stop was at the new Kirkland Avenue restaurant Volterra. There managing partner Michelle Quisenberry told the candidates she and partner Chef Don Curtiss had done well enough through the tough economy with their Ballard location to open in Kirkland.
Before leaving for Bothell, DelBene, a Medina resident, confirmed that as her campaign ads claim, she did in fact serve for a few years as a referee for youth football. "I did," she said with a laugh. "I starting referring football in Portland and continued when I moved up here. But then I just didn't have time anymore with my career."

"I speak for everyone at the firm when I say we are very thrilled to have Seth join our team," said Mike Sitrick, the firm's founder, Chairman and CEO. "It takes a combination of judgment and skill to succeed in this business and I am confident Seth has both. His vast knowledge of business - in the financial and corporate sector, as well as billionaires and wealth - and his experience in profiling Bill Gross of Pimco, Jeffrey Gundlach of DoubleLine and other well-known personalities will greatly benefit both existing and new clients."
"With respect to Brian Glicklich, all I can say is that I have worked with a lot of people who have been held out as experts in the digital area, but I have never worked with anyone who is in Brian's league. After spending five minutes in a room with him, clients and colleagues alike come away with the same conclusion. I am very excited that Brian has agreed to take on this added responsibility and become a member of our management committee. He has added and will continue to add an important dimension to the services we provide to clients that I don't believe they can get anywhere else," Mr. Sitrick said.
Mr. Lubove added, "I have known Mike for most of the 20 years I've been in Los Angeles, and have come to respect the work he and his partners perform on behalf of clients. When I decided to leave journalism, there was only one firm I considered. I am very excited to join Sitrick, and I look forward to assisting our clients achieve their strategic communications goals."
Mr. Glicklich said, "At the risk of this sounding like a mutual admiration society, Mike Sitrick and this firm are internationally recognized as the best in class in each of their practice areas for good reason. The Sitrick team achieves results that are unequaled. We will continue to apply these same principles to the unique equities of digital communications and marketing, with a group of thought leaders unparalleled for focused solutions to the digital messaging and marketing needs of our clients."
Additions to Sitrick's digital practice area include:
Matthew Fern, Director of Media and Analytics
Jim Bird, Director of Client Software and Development
Allen Roman, Manager SEO and Project Lead
Chris Wagner, Creative Director
Renee Say, Research Specialist
In addition, Eric Carr has been promoted to Director of Digital Oversight and Chris Eklund has been promoted to Manager and Project Lead.

"This is where the world is going," Mr. Sitrick added. "And we intend to stay in the forefront.

Organic tomatoes container higher levels of antioxidants than those grown conventionally, according to a study from Spain.
Antioxidants—phenolic compounds—are found in many fruits and vegetables and have proven benefits for human health. Their consumption has been linked to the prevention of cardiovascular and degenerative diseases and some forms of cancer.
Researchers from the University of Barcelona linked the differences between organic and conventional tomatoes to the types of fertilizer used. "Organic farming doesn't use nitrogenous fertilizers; as a result, plants respond by activating their own defense mechanisms, increasing the levels of all antioxidants," said Anna Vallverdu Queralt, PhD

Well, not Broncos related but Farve has always been fun to watch no matter what uniform he's put on! I'll be rooting for him, just not if he plays the Broncos! lol
Brett Favre is reportedly set to retire and leave the Lions alone once and for all.
ESPN coverage all day, so don't feel bad if you miss sportscenter either today or tomorrow morning "The biggest news of the offseason" - SportsCenter
I Feel Sorry for Sage Rosenfels. Even after the Rosencopter.
Leon Lett graduates from college; Roy Williams signs his deal with the Bengals. The Cowboys have a new place to practice and Brett Favre will retire.
Do people use the term "tizzy" anymore? Probably not. Anyways, you'd have to be comatose to have missed the last few days' developments regarding Lord Favre: He's coming back I mean he's not I...
And maybe he should be. Because "icon" begins with the letter "i" — just like "interception." And just like "I quit." And please oh please let him stay gone this time. The sport will somehow survive. Although, typically, a headline on ESPN.com Wednesday informed us "the NFL won't be the same without him." No, it won't. There'll be fewer interceptions and much less gushing. And the thought of it makes me want to cry happy tears.From an article that calls Brett Favre the most overrated athlete of our time. Good article except the part where he calls Ryne Sandberg overrated.

more than a foot of snow landed on Vienna this week, you'd think that some florists would throw up their hands and give up on trying to deliver flowers on one of their busiest days of the year — Valentine's Day.What's a little snow? After
Employees at Karin's Florist in Vienna started preparing for the weather as soon as possible, says owner Maris Angolia.
"We started watching the weather about 10 days ago," she said. What does that mean? The third-generation company, which started doing business in 1956, whipped into action: Renting SUVs for delivery, nearby hotel rooms for employees and temporary employees (there are about 25 full-time employees and about 100 for the holiday), and getting a generator and a tent for the back parking lot where they prep deliveries.
They also bought flashlights, lanterns and plenty of batteries, just in case the power went out. (Miraculously, Dominion Power reported very few power outages in Northern Virginia this week.)
A policeman knocked the snow off the top of the prep tent to be sure it didn't cave in.
As soon as the weather looked like it was going to get bad, employees at Karin's Florist started calling customers to see if they wouldn't mind having flowers delivered early, on Wednesday instead of Friday, Valentine's Day, Angolia said. The snow started to fall Wednesday night.
"We delivered to teachers on Wednesday," she said, since they were pretty sure that school would be called off for Thursday (it was called off for both Thursday and Friday). Angolia said one good thing about school being called off: She picked up a few more delivery runners and drivers, students who suddenly didn't have to be at school.
The florist rescued a wholesale florist whose truck broke down. "We towed him out," Angolia said. She used one of the company vans to get the flowers to the store.
Her sales team has been busy this week re-routing floral deliveries that were supposed to be made to offices, many that were closed Thursday and Friday because of the snow. Instead, deliveries are being made to homes.
Will the snow impact her Valentine's Day business? "I think it's going to be good," Angolia said. "We're open."
Delivery drivers won't be able to leave any flowers at the door, because of the cold. But since many people are at home because of the snow, Angolia said they aren't too worried about no one answering the door.
Is the snow impacting your business? Tell us about it in the Comments box.

We would like to help you find the correct bra size because many women wear the wrong size! To prevent this happening to you, please ask another person to measure you as described below. There are two different measuring methods for finding the correct size for a post-mastectomy bra:
|Method 1:
|Method 2:
|Take the bust width measurement by measuring ➀, across the tip of the breast (make sure you are wearing a well-fitting bra at the time). Then take the underbust measurement ➁. This underbust width (rounded up or down) is the right bra size. The difference between the bust measurement and the underbust measurement is the correct cup size.
|The bust should be measured unclothed, lifting the breasts slightly with the hand. Measure from the breastbone to the middle of the back (spine), subtract 2 cm and then double the resulting figure. This will give you the bra size. Now proceed as described under Method 1 for determining cup size.
Please enter your details:

The biggest snowstorm of the winter season covers the Northeast; two shootings occur on two college campuses; countries receive Olympic terror threats; and President Obama's Commission on Election Administration releases a report offering solutions to shorten voter lines & modernize the registration process. Meanwhile, TV is taking over the entertainment headlines today as a Seattle Seahawks player goes on a postgame rant and The Bachelor's ratings remain steady regardless of Juan Pablo's controversial remarks.

Northeast buried under heavy snow: http://rtvote.com/1msuR0A
The heaviest snowfall of the season pummeled the Northeastern United States and was accompanied by plunging temperatures. Cities like Philadelphia, Washington, and New York will see temperatures in the single digits and have wind chill numbers in the negatives. Meanwhile, states like New Jersey, Delaware, and New York are declaring states of emergency based on weather conditions. Thousands of flights have been canceled as travelers try to change their travel plans. The kicker? It's currently warmer in Alaska!
Two universities rocked by shootings: http://rtvote.com/1ezw7gN
Two colleges were affected by shootings this weekend. At Purdue University, a student shot and killed another student before surrendering to police on Tuesday. The shooter has been identified as 23-year-old Cody Cousins. The victim, 21-year-old Andrew Boldt, was a teaching assistant at the school. This shooting followed up reports of another school shooting at Widener University in Chester, Pennsylvania (a city outside of Philadelphia) where the victim is in critical condition, and the shooter is still at large.
Countries receive terrorist threats for Olympics: http://rtvote.com/1hLAaYS
Hungary is the latest country to receive terroristic threats towards their Olympic athletes. The message, formatted as an email, is threatening the Hungarian athletes with violence if they attend the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia next month. The nation's security forces have been informed, as have Sochi organizers. However, officials believe that the message is random and contains no threat, something that is common before every Olympics.
N.Y. 8-year-old saved 6 in fire, died trying to save 7th: http://rtvote.com/1ins77l
An 8-year-old boy saved six of his family members after the trailer they were sleeping in caught on fire. The boy, identified as 8-year-old Tyler Doohan, then ran back into the home to rescue a disabled relative. The two of them were found dead in a back bedroom, and a third relative was found in a front room. Doohan warned his family about the fire and died trying to help everyone else escape.
Cuccinelli: Chris Christie should step down from RGA post: http://rtvote.com/1in6vrP
Virginia Republican Ken Cuccinelli said Tuesday that New Jersey governor Chris Christie should step down from chairman of the Republican Governors Association. Cuccinelli believes that the investigations and scandals surrounding Christie are preventing the Republican Party from focusing on their election year goals. The scandals include the now-infamous "Bridgegate" incident and the latest from Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer, who claims Christie's administration threatened to not provide Hurricane Sandy relief money to Hoboken unless she agreed to a real estate deal.
Presidential Commission Offers Ways to Shorten Voting Lines: http://rtvote.com/19NYHMK
After long lines continued at the polls during the 2012 election, President Obama announced the launch of a bi-partsian panel of election and management experts following his State of the Union speech last year. The Presidential Commission on Election Administration released their report & findings to President Obama and Vice President Biden today with recommendations on how to shorten voting lines and modernize the voter registration system. Rock the Vote is proud to announce their support of the Commission's recommendations & their role in providing testimony and technology highlighted in the report. This is a big win for American voters!

The Daily Star
---- — Already amongst the largest railroad roundhouses in the world, Oneonta's was about to get bigger. A steeplejack thrilled a downtown crowd while painting, while gymnasium work began for Oneonta High School students. These news items were among the life and times in our area in September 1917.
"Contractors are hard at work erecting a second set of seven new stalls in place of the old brick ones at the Delaware and Hudson roundhouse," The Oneonta Star reported on Saturday, Sept. 8. It was a plan to bring the structure, used to repair and maintain steam locomotives, to "modern conditions within seven years. The new section, except for the rear, is being constructed of reinforced concrete including the floor and roof."
"Twenty feet are being added to depth of the building, bringing it to 100 feet, and 10 feet are added to the height in the back." Steam locomotives were getting larger, making the expansion necessary.
"When the Oneonta roundhouse was built, it was considered to be the largest one in the country. With the increase in railroad trackage, that distinction has passed, but still with its stalls for accommodating 52 engines, it ranks high." The roundhouse was built in 1906, replacing two smaller ones in the D&H railroad yards.
"Swinging gently in the damp, cold wind of yesterday," it was reported on Sept. 11,"Steeple Jack Eddie Wood of Cooperstown, nonchalantly puffing on his jimmy pipe, worked away painting the pinnacle of the steeple of the First Presbyterian church for hours, while far below on Main street, crowds of people gasped at his daring."
"There was not a minute during the day that some half dozen people, sometimes 50 or 60, gazed at the man sitting in his little chair suspended from a rope. Any extra strong gust of wind that swung him a foot or so either side, sent a thrill through the watchers."
"'But how did he get the rope up there at the very top in the first place,' was the question that bothered everybody. First he climbed up inside the steeple until he was within sixteen feet of the top. Then he came through an opening to the outside and by nailing three slats across one side of the steeple, he gradually worked his way up until he was able to fasten a block and fall. After that it was easy."
"Gymnasium work by the boys of the Oneonta High school, under the direction of a male instructor, was begun yesterday for the first time in the history of the school," the Star also reported on Sept. 11. "H.E. Hollister, a graduate of Cornell university, took the juniors and sophomores by hand in the morning and it was not until after 2:30, when he finished with the senior class."
"Great enthusiasm was manifested by the boys as with terse commands and rapid motions they were put through setting up the exercises, dumb bell drills, breathing movements, and finally in true military fashion marched in single file around the floor."
"There is one drawback, however, to the new physical training course…and that is that Mr. Hollister has been drafted by the National Army and must leave for Camp Ayer, Mass. on Sept. 19. What the school will do after he is gone is a question. When Mr. Hollister leaves the work will be once more thrown on the shoulders of Miss Eva Jenks, who has found the handling of both boys and girls too much for her."
Registration was up that fall at the high school by 60 students, to 380. "This large registration has so filled the classes that in a number of the rooms some of the pupils must sit on temporary chairs placed in aisles or convenient corners. However some are expected to drop out before the term gets far advanced." The school was then located on Academy Street, where the Academy Arms Apartments are today.
On Monday"hrongs of visitors came to Delhi in September 1957.

The on Route 112 and one area motel in Port Jefferson Station were singled out by Suffolk County District Attorney Thomas Spota on Monday as he provided that he said operated throughout several areas in Brookhaven Town including Coram and Medford.
Sandra Russell and Steven Mcdaniel, both of Coram, were identified as the ringleaders by Spota at a press conference Monday morning at Suffolk County Criminal Court in Riverhead. Of those involved, Medford's Jahiteak Appling was identified as one of the runners.
Farmingville's Jennifer Licata was also identified as a runner, and Spota said she is separately charged with promoting prison contraband in the first degree and was found to have heroin in her possession while incarcerated in the Suffolk County jail.
"During the summer of 2011, the undercover police officers made quite a few undercover buys from Mcdaniel back last summer," Spota said. "And then in November Mcdaniel was arrested by another police agency for also selling heroin to them."
Spota said that the investigators found through a court order for wiretap surveillance that Mcdaniel had turned over the heroin and prostitution rings to Russell while he was incarcerated.
Russell was purchasing raw, uncut heroin from Taquan Rashad, of the Bronx, which Spota said was unusual for these types of deals. The cutting and packaging was either done at Russell's home or at Lee Appling's home also in Coram. The heroin was then turned over to the runners, which Licata and Appling were a part of, Spota said.
The primary locations identified as where the heroin was sold included outside of the in Port Jefferson Station, a Handy Pantry convenience store in Coram and a in Farmingville, as well as several Centereach locations.
In addition to the heroin ring, Spota said that Russell was housing four prostitutes at a time.
"Most of the prostitutes ranged in age from 19 to 22, 23 years of age," Spota said. "And what she was doing in exchange for their prostitution services she was providing them with housing, clothing, food, cell phones, toiletries and what they needed absolutely the most is heroin, that's what she was paying them with for the most part."
One of the exhibits at the press conference was a record showing how much heroin a prostitute would get based on the amount of money they brought in. Spota said this started at $80, or 15 minutes or service, equaling two bags.
Spota said that all of the money and tips were turned over to Russell. Spota said the prostitutes worked out of the Comfort Inn, Gaslight Motor Inn and 112 Motel in Medford, and the American Motel in Port Jefferson Station.
Spota also said that Mcdaniel wrote a letter to Russell outlining ways to keep the prostitutes under Russell's control.
The letter, which was exhibited at the press conference, included rules such as to never trust for any of them and to "make sure you own their mind's, body's, and soul's."
In terms of cash made from this operation, Spota said that around $20,000 in profit would be made by Russell from 50 grams of heroin. On display at the press conference was around $130,000, of which $8,000 was kept in her home and the rest in safe deposit boxes. Other items found included various jewelery, Rolex watches, cell phones and an iPad.
Of the suspects, only Licata was scheduled for arraignment on Monday. The rest will be scheduled on various dates, Spota said.

Since couple of last weeks I have been experiencing strange behaviour of my car – loss of turbo in the morning – probably limp mode.
I am getting 2 fault codes 17705 and 17545. When engine was turned off / on – turbo was immediately back.
It only happened sometimes on morning (temp between 2-5 °C) when I drove to the work (8am) – basically after start I had limp mode – 5psi, when I turned engine off/on turbo was back;
It is strange because it never ever happened when I came back from the work at 5pm.
Also car never gone into limp mode when pushed hard.
Car is AUDI TT 1.8T 225 - remapped.
Any idea really appreciated!
Thank you,

Comments about Chauvet OBEY 4 DMX Controller:
Why not build it out to fit in a normal rack space? At 12 inches across it's more than a half rack space but is not long enough to fit in the normal rack space. It's good if you want to run some simple uplighting, thats about it.

Comments about Chauvet OBEY 4 DMX Controller:
I have 6 LED cans that I needed to control, after buying the OBEY 4, I realized the each of the cans uses potentially 6 DMX channels. My plans are to run to zones of lights, so this did work out pretty good since there are 4 zones available, each of my two zones taking up 2 zones. I do still find areas where the lights go squirly a bit and I have to reset the controller but for the most part, setting my cans to ID 1 and ID 3 and controlling them from the OBEY on Fixture 1 and 3 works fine. If I am missing something here, someone let me know!
Comments about Chauvet OBEY 4 DMX Controller:
I love this board! and I love the price, and I love the sapport from Musicians Friend!
Its got 16 channels, 4 sliders, 4 layers, 9 color pre-sets, strobe, and other usfull abilitys.
Its made of metal.
Its a great price, very good value! Its good for new guys or If you just need something to control your LEDs.
Comments about Chauvet OBEY 4 DMX Controller:
I'm not one for Chauvet products but this is a nice controller. I was looking for something to control my new uplighting package and the Obey 4 has it covered! It has a bit of a learning curve to figure out all it can do but worth the effort in the end. The buttons have a nice 'click' to them and it's well made overall. Lots of bang for the buck! Get one!!!

Due to the recent vicious dog attack in our town I feel the city of Clinton should re-address the prospect of banning pit bulls.
How horrible for this young man to have had this attack happen.
I was told a few years ago that you cannot ban a breed of dogs, however, surrounding towns such as Preston and Maquoketa have these bans in effect. A few years ago my little dog Hailey was attacked and killed by two pit bulls in my yard. At that time our City Council didn't think it was such a big deal.
Who else needs to be hurt before something is done?
I feel terrible that this young man will have to live with the effects of this horrible incident. It seems that every time we hear of a vicious dog attack it involves pit bulls. They bite to kill and won't let go of the victim.
Every time I hear of another vicious attack with pit bulls it brings back horrible memories. While driving through Clinton recently I witnessed four pit bulls in one block, none of which had leashes.
Doesn't Clinton have a leash law?
It's just a matter of time before another attack happens.
Hopefully Clinton will step up and do the right thing by preventing another pit bull attack. Clinton should prevent this from ever happening again.
Connie Crandall, Clinton

Succeeding in the new workplace (and life).
You hate the term burnout. But between increased workloads, being accessible 24-hours-a-day through your smart phone, and/or maybe because you have been in a bit of work rut for a while, you may be feeling….well, not exactly burned out, but fatigued.
What should you do?
Let us suggest another alternative: "Cheat" on your day job.
Start something. More specifically start something outside of work.
It could be a new company—or at least something that could lead to you starting your own company—but it doesn't have to be. You could start a blog—how hard could that be, right—or begin something that will help your town. Heck, it could even be something you have always wanted to do, and an activity that probably has no financial reward (learning the banjo; learning how to knit.)
It doesn't matter what it is. The key is to start. As in take a small step toward what you think you want. You don't have to make a commitment to see this fledging notion through to the end. (That would be silly; you simply don't know if this new thing is something that you are going to like.
The key is to get moving without much cost (either in time or in any other resource.)
As with all new ventures, you want to stay within your acceptable loss.
Once you take that small (inexpensive) step, see what you have learned, and if you are happy with results, take another step toward your goal. Pause to see what you have learned, and, if it feels right, go take another step.
How is this going to make your happier at your day job? That's simple. Some of the enthusiasm you have for you outside venture is going to carry over into the office. Making progress on things you care about elevates your mood. And since you take your mind with you everywhere you go, you can take your mood as well. You'll come to work pleased with yourself. ("Hey, I have mastered Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star on banjo.) and you will be less dour. Guaranteed. That could be enough to get you out of your funk which is certainly a good thing both for you, your colleagues and your company.
And if it doesn't cure your day job fatigue, or it doesn't for long, that is not necessarily bad either. By taking the step toward creating something outside of work, you have done two things, both of them good.
We must do things which we love to do, or which we always wanted to do in life, or when we were kids. We need to simply pursue our heart!
It's certainly true that by taking action, doing something in an area large or small that's meaningful to you, you can boost your enthusiasm in general and that may rub off on other aspects of your life. But how do you find time to do that if you have a full-time job and a few young children? I guess lots of people do find the time, but it demands a lot of organizational acumen. What I'm saying is, for many people, finding something outside of work and finding the time to do it is pretty complicated.
