I think those are great questions. And I am hopeful that having a specific plan written out will allow you to feel comfortable moving forward. We were terrified when it came to TTC #2 and those first few weeks pregnant until we had a solid plan in place... it made all the difference, and having a team you trust.
Only other question I can think is asking her what else she thinks you should know that perhaps you didn't think to ask.
I hope it goes well!

Voters in Fremont line up as they get ready to cast their vote.
Should the housing portion of the immigration ordinance be amended?
The measure that passed in 2010 prohibits landlords from renting to people who are in the country illegally.
Part of it comes down to an application for occupancy license.
"People need to be able to have some place to stay," voter Barbara Kile said.
Fremont is one of two cities in the United States with an application for occupancy license.
Tuesday, Fremont residents voted 'yes' or 'no'. Yes to remove this portion from the ordinance or no to implement the current ordinance that was voted on in 2010.
This ordinance requires every renter to fill out an application for an occupancy license, then mark if they're in the country legally or illegally. If they fill it out and pay $5, they'll get the license.
"Today's vote is really about whether this is effective for the city of Fremont and the tax payers here. The city council sees this as an ineffective ordinance that's only going to bring on financial liability," city council president Jennifer Bixby said.
A financial liability the city council said they've researched. Farmer's Branch, Texas implemented a similar ordinance. Now, their entire budget goes toward legal fees.
Bixby said Fremont could run into the same trouble and could lose federal housing funding from HUD. It's more than that though, Bixby said this controversial topic is tearing the community apart.
"It's pitted neighbor versus neighbor, friend against friend, we have friends we just don't bring it up to in conversations because it is a passionate issue for everyone," Bixby said.
City council said they predict this will be a close vote.

Global ATM leaders initiate concerted effort to curb fraud and establish industry-wide security measures
NORTH CANTON, Ohio and PADERBORN, Germany, July 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As automated teller machine (ATM) networks have expanded worldwide, so has the sophistication of global crime. The combination of these factors has led to intensified security concerns at the ATM. Combating this issue requires consistent focus and global defense solutions throughout the ATM provider chain.
In order to further develop these solutions, Diebold, Incorporated (NYSE: DBD) and Wincor Nixdorf AG will found an industry association dedicated to improving ATM security. Through the association, the companies -- two of the world's top ATM producers -- aim to compile information on recognized and potential attack scenarios on ATMs and share that information with specific industry groups to rapidly develop and implement counter-measures at a global level. Participation is open to institutional operators – primarily banks and IT service providers – global ATM manufacturers and their suppliers.
The ATM market is set to continue expanding. According to a forecast by global industry research firm Retail Banking Research (RBR), the number of ATM systems will increase worldwide to 3.7 million by 2018, compared with the current figure of around 2.6 million. Given this anticipated increase, it is plausible to expect the level of criminal activity associated with ATMs will also grow.
"ATM fraud is a worldwide challenge, and with the anticipated expansion of both the ATM market and ATM-related crime, the time has come for those organizations whose business operations depend on ATMs to take concerted action at the global level. They are best placed to establish a 'transmission forum' for secure ATMs, since no one else can respond as quickly or as directly when it comes to implementing the right counter-measures," observed Eckard Heidloff, President & CEO of Wincor Nixdorf AG.
In setting up the association, Diebold and Wincor Nixdorf are looking to create a platform that not only shares information, but promotes interactive discussion amongst ATM industry stakeholders for the security of the ultimate consumer. Other global ATM manufacturers are especially invited to join the group, as this will help increase the scope and effectiveness of its work and quicker deployment of countermeasures. The association also intends to establish industry-wide norms in the form of agreed technical standards for secure ATMs and ATM components. The association will be implemented under Dutch law and will offer its members a protected and secure register of detailed information on recognized attack scenarios and potential threats, along with industry recommendations on how members can prevent and deal with any such attacks.
The aim of the association is for banks and other users to be able to draw on a uniform set of readily available and thoroughly reviewed solutions if they so choose. Accordingly, membership of the association will primarily be of interest to banks whose networks include ATMs from different manufacturers, as this will make the task of coordinating the introduction of new security solutions much easier.
"Given the great strides our industry has made with advancements in various technologies that consumers value at the ATM, it's time that we collectively and effectively combat the impact that technically sophisticated global crime has had on the ATM channel," said Andy W. Mattes, Diebold president and chief executive officer. "Today's announcement represents the first step in an industry-wide effort intended to help ensure the ATM remains a safe, secure option for consumers to confidently conduct any financial transaction they choose – now and well into the future."
Organizations interested in participation or seeking more information regarding the ATM security industry association may contact: firstname.lastname@example.com.

A few predictions for this November. Charlie Baker loses in his second effort to be governor. Incumbent John Tierney bests Richard Tisei. Republican challengers largely fail in their efforts to capture seats in the Massachusetts state Senate and House of Representatives. And for good measure, New Hampshire. Senator Jeanne Shaheen edges out transplant Scott Brown. There's a theme here: Democrats win, and Republicans lose.
I could be wrong about any or all of these, of course. Each race has its own dynamics, and individual factors ranging from personality to campaign trail gaffes can influence outcomes. But there is a broad trend at play that deserves notice. Call it the rise of the progressives.

Jason Volk Looking to expand your business in 2013? Then head on down to San Antonio, Texas, May 19-21 where some of most successful owners and managers of multi-unit salon and spa businesses will gather to celebrate 40 years of the International SalonSpa Business Network. "At our conference you can meet senior management from companies that operate thousands of salons, as well as owners of companies with two or three highly successful salons or spas," says Jason Volk, ISBN president and the CEO of Chatters Canada. "We share and learn from each other in a non-competitive environment. While each of us has our own business model and culture, we share the same goals."
The carefully designed conference integrates insightful speakers and interactive panel discussions with breakout sessions and an opportunity to meet one-on-one with some of the industry's most forward-thinking vendors. Most of the association's members believe ISBN's thought-provoking curriculum serves to foster the true magic which happens when the members network and share ideas among themselves at the conference's hosted breakfasts, lunches, dinners and cocktail parties.
From the Stage: On Monday morning, Scott Klososky, the former CEO of three successful tech startup companies and the principal at Future Point of View technology consulting firm, will illustrate the trends in emerging technologies and those can be used to help organizations thrive, leaders prosper and entire industries move forward. With "Trends, Technology and Taking the Lead," Klososky offers attendees practical tools and concepts they can implement as soon as they return home.
T. Scott Gross, a veteran of the hospitality industry and the author of Positively Outrageous Service, takes the stage on Tuesday to show owners how to sell, serve and stand out in the digital age through outrageous customer service. He promises to show attendees how to multiply their marketing efforts by creating experiences that build their brand and benefit the bottom line.
In a very timely presentation, Steve Overholser, CPA, the chief financial officer of Great Clips, will walk attendees through the implications of the Affordable Care Act on salon businesses as new taxes come into play in 2013 and new mandates and employer penalties take effect in 2014. This discussion will to quantify the potential costs of different courses of action and present several alternatives for businesses to consider.

Free speech in America
Women and politics

American History and Civilization
Dossier 5
Analyze the limits of
free speec
h in America in the light of the following documents.
Doc A: Hillary Clinton on Wikileaks Nov 29th 2010.
Doc B: TIME magazine Sunday, October 03, 2010.
How Should America Handle Extreme Speech?
Doc C: Extract concerning
The Pentagon Papers
, 1971 Justice Hugo L. Black.
How is free speech defined? What restricts free speech?
The issue of Internet and free access to information?
When is the line between expression and unacceptable discourse crossed?
Who can decide who can say what?
"In America the majority raises formidable barriers around the liberty of opinion; within these barriers an author may write what he pleases, but woe to him if he goes beyond them." Alexis de Tocqueville.
The three present documents deal with different issues but they have an overall theme in common that is the limits of free speech in America. Since the creation of the Constitution and the respective Amendments issued by the Founding Fathers in the Bill of Rights the first amendment has triggered a wide range of cases that raised the question of how to read and interpret the right to free speech. The present three documents handle three different cases of ambivalent events concerning the right to free speech. In doc A Hillary Clinton focuses on the danger caused by Wikileaks through the publication of "classified documents" concerning the US government's decisions on various aspects. In doc B the emphasis is placed on the question of "extreme speech" and where the limits of free speech should be placed, illustrated through the particular case of pastor Terry Jones appeal to burn the Koran. In doc C justice Black stresses the right to free press in the Watergate affair.
Hence, the three documents are demonstrations of various issues which all have the same concern that are the interpretation of the First Amendment and how far free speech can go. The overall question to be dealt with is, to what extend can we talk about the right to free speech? What are the factors on which free speech can be measured? In other words, who is allowed to say what when and what are the consequences of inappropriate expression?
I. An Inalienable Right
a. The First Amendment: the purpose of a Bill of Rights
The right to free speech is stated in the First Amendment that is the in the Bill of Rights. Hence it exists since the beginning of the United States and represents an inalienable right granted to the American people. It states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." These rights have been added to the Constitution to protect the citizens and restrict judicial and executive power. That is why the Supreme Court ruled in favor of The New York Times. According to the excerpt by Black the purpose of the right to free speech is "to serve the governed and not the governors". The Doc A seems to argue on the contrary, since Hillary Clinton the current secretary of state states that the publication by Wikileaks of classified government documents is illegal and consequently dangerous. Danger is also a theme that is tackled by the Times article, which centers on question of what should be done from the part of the government against "extreme speech".
Ultimately, the question of limitation of free speech is closely linked to the three documents. How is free speech defined? What restricts free speech?
b. The Limitation of free speech: what is condemnable?
Eventually, limitation and restriction of free speech becomes a complex question relating to the basis of the fundamental rights of America. Free speech as stated in Doc B can become a way to express "extreme speech" such as pastor Terry Jones, who declared to burn Korans on the 9/11 anniversary. The article states the question "So how do we cut off the oxygen without suffocating the rights we prize?" (36). Actually, it is the core of the complexity of the right to free speech. Who can decide what shall be said and how the representatives of power should react to inappropriate speech or appeals. There are several things that are not allowed to be said such as "shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater" (l.9). The limits of free speech are blurred, since it is a notion that is very difficult to restrict in strictly theoretical terms it remains a field of controversy what exactly can be said.
"Legally unprotected categories of speech include obscenity, defamation, incitement to crime, and fighting words, as well as harassment, privileged communications, trade secrets, classified material, copyright, patents, military conduct, commercial speech such as advertising, and time, place and manner restrictions" (Wikipedia). The three documents
II. The Consequences of free speech
a. Danger
Hillary Clinton condemns Wikileaks as an attack against the whole international scene. She argues on behalf of US government. But the press cannot be condemned to have published that information because it is their right to do so. She stresses the consequences and the problems, which those publications entail. She emphasizes the dangerous aspect of such publication on various levels such as national security and on the international scene, too, damaging the diplomatic relations between the different countries.
Danger is also emphasized in the article: the very message of the pastor Terry Jones to burn Qurans and the impact that such speech has on people. But also Fred Phelps who's appeal, "God hates fags" is going to be judged by the Supreme Court.
b. On public/national level
The article tackles directly the issue raised indirectly in doc A and C. The journalist presents the very ambiguities, which persist in the vast notion of free speech. Who is allowed to say what and to whom? The very much-mediatized event of the Quran burning initiated by the controversial pastor Terry Jones from Florida provoked a real international disaster, which seems to have shed light on the question of what people are allowed to say. In regard of the American people, it is important to bear in mind that a society is a heterogeneous identity, hence the variety of point of views and opinions. Consequently, certain statements can divide the nations unity and become issues of national conflicts. As the journalist states: "That we have fierce fights in this country that are not resolved with violence. And that even the rights we value most are not simple or sure but subject to legal debate, prayerful reflection and the collective judgment of a rowdy public." (44/47). Acfitec is a company specialized in
habilitation electrique
in France.
c. On the international level
The fact that Terry Jones promotes an act of discrimination in reaction to 9/11 turns the event to an international issue, which through the vast and rapid distribution of media had political and diplomatic consequences. Those consequences involved several countries and the US army such as the NATO and the other organizations that secure a certain safety abroad assured by the US army. The proclaimed act of burning the Quran is a provocation and cannot be considered as an idea coming out of the blue that will not trigger harsh reactions from the aimed group, here the Muslim world.
The question is not only if anybody can say whatever he/she wants, but it is also a question of media coverage: the article states "a media circus" (5) meaning that if the media had not covered Jones' statements/ appeal the impact of his "extreme speech" would have never triggered such a strong international reaction. Therefore, the question of media coverage becomes central. In times like ours when the media influence is connecting the different parts of the world, because anyone can have access to anything that is published anywhere in the world, free speech becomes problematic because it can provoke reactions and hence create conflicts that take tremendous dimensions.
III. Power vs. free speech
a. The Executive's Restraints
The three documents have one thing in common the fact that free speech and the government are two forces that are difficult to bring together. It seems that in Doc A Hillary Clinton as part of the government condemns Wikileaks publication hence condemns the consequences of free speech. Doc B tackles the relation differently, questioning the role of the government concerning people who are using free speech to promote ideas, which are clearly hate speeches.
"Laws prohibiting hate speech are unconstitutional in the United States, outside of obscenity, defamation, incitement to riot, and fighting words. The United States federal government and state governments are broadly forbidden by the First Amendment of the Constitution from restricting speech" (Wikipedia).
However, her speech stresses much more the increasing efforts and actions taken by the Obama administration than she does actually condemn Wikileaks. Hence, her intervention illustrates how important and
right-granting the First Amendment
is. As the present Secretary of State she is in the position of responsibility and the fact that those "classified" information were published demonstrate the freedom and liberties the press can take. An underlying factor is the demonstration of the system's failure. How can such classified information be so easily disclosed? Moreover the purpose of her intervention seems to be the defense of the Obama administration and to stress the various initiatives this government takes in order to make this world a better place.
b. The Supreme Court
The justice Black has an original reading of the constitution and points out the importance of free speech especially concerning the written press. "In the First Amendment, the Founding Fathers gave the press the protection it must have to fulfill its essential role in our democracy" (44). His argument is built upon the history of the United States and its founding fathers. Hence he does not want a revisionist reading of the Constitution. In that case it would be interesting to see whether or not he would have the same vision concerning Terry Jones' case or Fred Phelps statement. Doc B questions this origin reading and point out that now
c. The Governed vs. Government
on July 17, 2012 at 6:24 am
The narration begins when his uncle dies who is apparently Marco's only family since his mother died before and his father is said to be dead. From then on he is alone. He will work for Effing and later realizes that Solomon Barber, Effing's son is Marco's own father which will be a major turning point in his life and will push him to cross the American country until the Pacific and therefore to follow in his grandfather's and father's footsteps. In the present passage Marco does not know yet that Barber is his father. They are close friends at that point and Barber persuades Marco to go on a trip to search for Effing's cave in the Great Desert.

They are extremely precise and demonstrate the narrator's clear memory about the procedure. Yet, what is striking in the passage is though time and space are perfectly defined a lot of things remain unsaid on an emotional level. Why is the narrator dwelling on giving the reader precise references about time and space? From the narrator's point of view his memory is essentially seen as a succession of key-moments. The result is that the whole paragraph seems to be based on a chronology and the reader's attention is shift from what is going to happen to how it is going to happen. The reader does know about the following events: We know that Barber is Marco's father because in the prolepsis in which the narrator told us about him meeting his father. What arose the reader's attention and the general suspense, is that everything seems to be implicit in this passage. The question is how Marco is going to learn the news and how he is going to react.
on September 09, 2012 at 3:04 pm
It can be noticed that the passage is divided into two parts which present the narrator's memories. The differences are striking in terms of time references and emotional revelations. The narrator seems to remember quite well the first part in which he gives exact time and place references but leaves emotions beside. Consequently the reader curiosity is awaken and the shift from the "what" to the "how" is made. Though we already know that Barber is his father we are struck by the intensity of the second part. The roles are reversed in that part because time and space vanish and emotions are brought to light. In the second part the narrator becomes suddenly the mature man who tells his own story. This part somehow reminds the reader that this narration is supposed to be an account on Marco Fogg's years between eighteen and twenty-four, written by the same man years later who remembers this years. On the one hand the passage can be seen as the end of Marco's adolescence in which he had not been able to live by himself and where he was constantly seeking for an identity which he never had and on the other hand it is the beginning of the turning point of Marco's life and the entrance to adulthood: he will discover his father, he will lose all his heritage, he will cross the American country and he will become a writer.

ddrum Red Shot Trigger is a stripped down version of the famous ddrum Trigger.
ddrum Red Shot Trigger is a stripped down version of the famous ddrum Trigger. ddrum Red Shot Trigger uses the same patented transducer technique (VAM) as ddrum Trigger. The specially designed transducer is softly pressed against the drumhead. The ultra-light pressure of the transducer against the head prevents any damping effect. ddrum Red Shot Trigger is extremely easy to use and to mount: just remove one tension screw, apply the trigger and put the screw back on again. No adhesive is needed. ddrum Red Shot Trigger can be used on both snares and different kinds of toms. The main differences between ddrum Red Shot Trigger and ddrum Trigger is the mechanical design, the 1/4" jack instead of XLR, and of course - the lower price!

HIXSON, Tenn. (WRCB) -- It's one more time with feeling.
Hixson beat East Ridge a month ago en route to locking up the District 6-AA regular season championship, but that win means nothing come Friday night when the two local rivals meet again in the opening round of the TSSAA Class 4A postseason in the Friday Night Football Game of the Week.
The second-seeded Wildcats (7-3) will be making their second straight postseason appearance under second-year coach Jason Fitzgerald. Last season's first playoff berth since 2005 also came against a local foe in a 31-6 opening round loss at Notre Dame.
This year, the stakes are higher.
Hixson was expected to be playing in November this year after being tabbed as the preseason favorite in 6-AA. The Wildcats backed up the hype by going 5-1 in league play, with only a 14-12 loss to Brainerd in last week's season finale keeping them from an unblemished district schedule and their first eight-win season in four decades.
A 19-14 home win over East Ridge on Oct. 4 was part of a five-game winning streak that was fueled by running backs Isaiah Robinson and Kedrick Bradley. Both have crossed the 1,000-yard rushing plateau this season as the focal points of the Wildcats' offense.
Bradley racked up 131 yards in the first meeting with the Pioneers (5-5), while Robinson added 118 and a touchdown. Gil Brown's quarterback sneak in the third quarter proved to be the game-winner as the Wildcats' defense stopped East Ridge on fourth down twice in the final period.
East Ridge rallied after the loss to win two of its final three games and return to the postseason after a one-year hiatus. The Pioneers had qualified for three straight 4A brackets before Mike Martin stepped down following the 2011 season, though they lost in the opening round each time.
East Ridge went 3-7 last year as Tracy Malone tried to revamp and rebrand the program. So far his efforts have paid off, but the Pioneers' work is not yet finished.
There's no question Jo Jo Tillery will be the go-to guy for East Ridge. The dual-threat quarterback accounted for 170 of the Pioneers' 204 total yards in the Week 7 loss.
Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET Friday night at Hixson Community Stadium. Paul Shahen and Jordan Tippit will provide live coverage starting at 11:10 p.m. ET.

Atlanta can't seem to catch a break from the thunderstorms. It's a miracle the city hasn't floated down the Chattahoochee in the latest spate of storms. I've been hearing from so many friends about how frustrated they are trying to entertain their kids and get energy out while it's raining.
One girlfriend was bemoaning taking her three kids to the movies. She likes getting out of the house but then they just sit there and don't expend any energy. Also it's very expensive. She says she's inclined just to let them watch TV instead of paying for a movie. (FYI — "Monsters University" opens this Friday just in case. There's a 20 percent chance of rain for Friday, Saturday and Sunday according to Channel 2.)
I told her she should go to one of the indoor trampoline parks like Sky Zone. Her kids are too big for a jumpy place but they need to get that energy out. (Be sure not to feed your kids before. Lilina threw up at a birthday party at one of those places. That was on Michael's watch.)
One friend posted the cutest photos of her oldest child entertaining the younger kids with a magic show. I thought that was just adorable. I think it would be fun to head to a magic store, buy some tricks, practice the tricks and then put on a show for mom and dad or even the neighborhood. (Here's the address for two magic stores in Atlanta. We used to go to Eddie's Trick Shop when it was on Memorial Drive. My brother loved doing magic tricks. )
I am also seeing a lot of card games being played in photos on Facebook. Rose has taken up Klondike and Pyramid solitaire lately. She'll spend hours in her bedroom just challenging herself to cards. She also likes Hearts on the computer.
A Wii party could be fun too and a good way to get the kids to move. Or what about a dance party? Or a cooking or crafting party? Or create a neighborhood play Mickey Rooney-style? Or skating or even better ice skating (let's pretend to be cold)? Indoor mini golf? Bowling?
There are tons of museums and indoor tourist sites for kids in Atlanta. However, you have to find a cost-effective way to do several of them. Atlanta's visitor's bureau offers a CityPASS, which gives you almost 50 percent off of doing five activities in the city. You can choose from the Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca Cola, Inside the CNN Studio Tour, Zoo Atlanta, the Atlanta History Center, the Fernbank Museum of Natural History or the High Museum of Art. It's $74 for adults and $54 for kids 3 to 12 and you have multiple days to visit.
I always like to promote the Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville. All our buddies love going there. I guess it depends on how hard it's raining though – if it would be difficult to drive there.
One of our editors suggested an underground MARTA adventure hitting Underground Atlanta, CNN Center, Peachtree Center. (We used to that in summer camp — take the MARTA just for the heck of it.) Legoland Discovery Center, the Center for Puppetry Arts or art studios like Wired and Fired could also work.
Another friend suggested just letting them play in the rain as long as it's not thundering – let them stomp in puddles and make mudpies.
How are you entertaining your kids during these stormy days? What is you go-to place or activity when the kids have to get some energy out?

Seriously? Try being a teacher with 25 students in a classroom during a rainy week! BTW they are all packed into one room. You cannot send them to the basement or their bedrooms. It does amaze me what some folks complain about!

To get mine away from screens, we sometimes pull out the Ivory soap. If you microwave a bar of Ivory (I usually cut the bar into fourths…small microwave), and you 'cook' the soap it ends up about 10times it's original size. Then we put the finished product on cookie sheets at the table. The kids pull out plastic farm animals, Dino's, even cars and play in the Ivory snow. Great sensory thing, smells good, easy clean up, cheap fun.

Miss Mary, if you a lamenent table or some kind of plastic (shower curtain?) over your good table —give them a can of cheap shaving cream (we used Colgate) and let them "finger paint".
Get out the Wii Sports and start a competition. A good game of tennis on that thing will take some out of you.
Cleaning always expends energy. If you run out of places to clean at your house, your welcome to come help at mine LOL ;)
$1.75 movies (Venture and Merchant's Walk) are a good thing but they don't expend energy.
Ice or Roller Skating if you want to spend money. Museum has room to walk around…there are several here in the Metro area. Some even have exhibits kids are supposed to climb on.
The Strand off the Square is doing a great production of "Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat" although again that is money and not much energy.

I know kids are sweet, but they are not made of sugar and will not melt in the rain. Kids can still play in the rain and mud.
June 19th, 2013
7:52 am
FCM …teachers everywhere are telling me they cannot use shaving cream as the can says: keep out of reach of children. TRUE. I used it for the children to clean off their desks each Friday, when I taught.
Whatever happened to old fashioned board games or cards? You know, the kind we played when we did not have an IPAD or even cable TV? Oh yeah, the parents have to actually show their kids how to play those games and it is harder than popping in a DVD or taking them to the movies. Some kids cannot be expected to entertain themselves and be involved in their own games without bickering. What about puzzles? I am horrible at them but my daughter loved them. Reading is good too :).
I ditto the cleaning and here is an idea:
$10 to clean out the linen closet and organize.
$7 to vaccum the entire house
$3 to take out all the trash
$2 to empty the dishwasher
Then, I will take you to the mall and you can spend it. WHY would you pay your child to do that? BECAUSE you are paying to entertain him/her and you will not get your own work done. If you hire your children to do the things you might need to do and then let them spend that $$$, you both win. Plus they learn how to earn $$$ for what they want to do. If my college aged daughter is home and wants to earn some extra $$$ I hire her to do things around here too! We have done this for years! My son probably needs to pay us now as he will be making more that either one of us make alone shortly :).

Not a problem..We woke up Mon. morning and fouund a kitten on the back patio, so that has kept the boy pretty busy..We also got a new air conditioner put in and he has helped out with that by being a gopher..
FCM..I saw this at the Fox Theatre a few years ago and loved it..We might go see that..I think he would love it..The Tellus is wonderful and we've been there and they really like that also..I also agree with lettting them play in the rain..I remember playing in it and having so much fun..
June 19th, 2013
8:49 am
Back in the day, we would pull out the Uno cards, regular cards, and board games. We still love to play Uno.
My favorite rainy day activity, is to lay on the couch, and watch all the DVR recordings, and clean it up.
I've never paid my kids to clean the house, as no one pays me to do it. I never paid money to motivate my kids.
June 19th, 2013
8:54 am
Well, back in the day when all we had were woodburning computers, I played with paper dolls, marbles, and the button box. I am guessing many kids today would think that boring, but it was great for the imagination. I would sometimes play jacks or use play doh or water color or read. As an only child, I was,largely on my own in terms of entertainment. If I had complained to my mother, she would have set me to work cleaning something or ironing my dad's handkerchiefs or the pillowcases.
With my own kids, it was much the same.
June 19th, 2013
9:10 am
(It was much the same except for the ironing. ;-)
We played lots of board games, too, but we did that on many evenings rain or not after the family walk. We also had a Fisher Price tape player and record player and they had about 30 book and tape/record sets. Can't seem to find those nowadays. Anyone got any ideas on how to find some? Ours literally wore out!
June 19th, 2013

@ Mayhem…I think you missed the point:
Day one…we all work in the house and get things done ( keep them busy) and I will pay you.
Day two….we all go somewhere and you can ONLY spend the money you earned. You can learn how to stick with a budget ( as I have to do).
Swap days out! You could also count things as points and use the point system to allow purchase on the days you leave the house.
I will take you places all week long. Be the entertainment director. Not get any of my work done. Spend my money and you will have no clue how much things cost.
I know other parents who pooed pooed this idea. Same parents gave their child a car and cc to use when they were old enough. Then, took the cc away when the bill got too high. Child has to get a job and them complained that her earnings did not match her wants ( true story).
Everyone parents differently. That is for sure!

@ Becky, we saw it last Thursday. They did a great job!
In a few weeks Blake Cooper Productions (BCP) will be performing Willy Wonka at Dodgen Middle School. Tickets were $10 for BCP's production of Godspell, Jr. I can tell you those kids worked hard on Godspell (6 hours a day for 9 days plus 2 shows!!!)…that certainly kept my child active and moving!
For those in Cobb who don't know BCP does professional quality performances with elementary – high school kids. His former students even came back to see Godspell.

We went to the pool yesterday morning and it was cloudy when we left, but the weather said it was not supposed to rain for several more hours. It ended up raining for about an hour with no thunder/lightning while we were there. My 3yo thought I was the coolest thing ever because I let him stay out in the rain! He thoroughly enjoyed it!
Next time it is raining with no thunder/lightning, we will go outside and run around. He thought it was great fun and even though I hate our laminate floors, they are easy to clean up when we come in!

@MJG, I like the idea of cleaning one day and using your money the next. There was a mom at the pool yesterday whose kids were using their "points" for treats and I asked her about her system and it was similar to what you describe. Her kids can lose points too by fighting with each other and misbehaving! We are going to start an allowance with K very soon so that he can begin learning some of these lessons.

You don't need to buy tricks to do magic. My 8 year old gets a lot of great ideas from a YouTube channel Julian's Magician School. We have looked at more than dozen sites for magic tricks for kids and his is the best by far. Julian is great teaching tricks that kids can do easily, as it can be hard to find tricks that a young child can do without getting frustrating. And, the tricks can really fool an adult audience. Julian is a wonderful teacher (a birthday party magician) and explains things clearly and demonstrates it several times. The videos are only a few minutes. You can find some neat tricks using a deck of cards, coins and other everyday objects. My son has really enjoyed his site over the past year.
Another suggestion I have for an inexpensive museum visit on a rainy day is the Southern Museum in Kennesaw. It is Smithsonian affiliated and very high quality and is usually not crowded at all. And, it is one of the cheapest museums you could visit and one of the best. If you've never been, you are missing out on a great museum. There is enough to appeal to kids and adults. The focus is on how trains are made and also the famous story of The General train that was stolen in the Civil War times. They actually have The General train there and it is magnificent to see. There is a 30 minute movie showing the train being stolen and the famous chase. It is a very adventurous movie that is tame enough for young kids. The exhibits show how trains are manufactured and they also have some general Civil War exhibits. They revamped the kids education and play area a few years ago, and young kids will have a lot of fun there. They have a working telegraph with wires going across the room and old timey dress up costumes. You can easily spend a full day there. Kids 3 and under are free. Age 4-12 are 5.50 and adults are $7.50. You can get $1 off with AAA card or a Family Pass is $18. The gift shop has a huge amount of train related things. Also, across from the museum, there are train tracks and you are likely to see a real train going by a few times a day. We usually pack a lunch and eat outside on the benches, but there are a few restaurants to eat within walking distance. They also have a train caboose outside that the kids can play in.
Aside from the Southern Museum, the Tellus is another favorite one of ours. On rainy days, my son does a lot of reading, card tricks, makes things out of objects around the house, and we play board games. He also plays in the rain also when there's no thunder or lightning.
Sky Zone seems pretty pricey, as you pay by the hour. So, it is quite different from the jumpy places. The one time we considered trying it on a Sunday, it was already booked up. It seems you need to reserve in advance for most days. Some of the parks around here have open gym hours that are free for basketball, etc. They will lower the goals for the young kids. This can be an option during rainy days, but you need to call to find out if the outdoor day camps are using the gym when it's raining.

MJG- Board Games were always my favorite thing to do when it was storming or raining. We'd play Life, Chutes and Ladders, Candyland, or Monopoly! My grandmother was always the best card game player too. She was our constant babysitter growing up and I think she got tired of the board game quicker than us and would steer us to cards. We never beat her and she taught us how to play poker and gin rummy. :) I never did get the hang of Hearts until I was older though. I definately got better at gin rummy. No one wants to play against me when the power goes out!

Music, Music, and Music, build forts, Uno, put on shows/plays. Once I had them make up a realistic story that they could act out. And art projects galore. Every year for christmas, Santa brings a HUGE box filled with art supplies (paints, construction paper, sparkly paper, pipe cleaners, jiggly eyes, yarn, and a thousand other things ). We have a pottery wheel that comes in handy on rainy days too. The kids like to do ice bowling… they take plastic cups of water, freeze them for bowling pins, and then use a ball to knock them over (we play that in the garage).

My son likes to do plays and puppet shows as well. Our basement has some clear space for a low-key indoor kickball (with a small, somewhat soft ball) or four square, which works to expend energy as long as you don't have glass breakables around.

We used to roller skate in our basement…not very largearea but we got pretty good at doing tricks on our skates.
Ping Pong….I think Nerf has one of those deals where you can put it on your existing table and with the nerf ball it is not as distructive.
One we have not mentioned is everyone in the family take turns reading a chapter of a book aloud. Get summer reading in for all kids at once!

I still don't agree with paying kids to do chores on rainy days.
We always told the kids what we expected from them, and they received an allowance. Each child had specific chores, and if they were not completed, they did not get their full allowance. Once they received their allowance, 10% had to go into a savings account IMMEDIATELY!. They could do whatever they wanted with the remaining 90%. But we didn't specifically go somewhere so they could spend their money.
To this day, they each still put 10% into their own savings accounts when they get their paychecks.

Mayhem we had to put 10% in the bank too.
June 19th, 2013

@Mayhem, I get what you are saying about allowance and that is the way we plan to do allowance. However, if there are some big jobs that need to be done and it is raining out, I like the idea of extra work for extra money. I used to wash my dad's car to earn an extra dolllar or two (in the early 80's). I have a friend who matches her kid's allowance savings, like a 401k. The first year she did not put a limit on it and her daughter saved most of her allowance and all of her gift money from grandparents and ended up being out close $1000:

SOURCE:(Not directly linked as it's just my photobucket)
SUBMITTER'S COMMENT: Well, a little history I guess. These are my lobes today. (Please note they're not actually this yucky pinky-red, I have a pink light which reeks havoc on my photo levels) I had them pierced with a gun when I was 12 at a hairdressers, where my aunt signed me off pretending to be my mum. Quality stuff, wonky and everything. I began stretching when I was about 18, I bought a nasty acrylic taper and similar screw-closure tunnels from the local goth shop. (The very same shop who have almost everything out to touch. One time my sister was in there, some girls stuck jewellery in their piercings and put it back, and the guy behind the counter got mad and said he'd have to "disinfect it all again". Ugh. Just. No.) The girl who served me at the time said going from where I was to 3mm would be fine and to use vaseline. I did exactly that over the course of 2 days, along with a little blood and a nasty throbbing pain.
I know a lot better now. I later went up to 4mm by just popping the next size of acrylic in the day before an event.
I since let them shrink back, and have been stretching again using the correct methods shown in your stretching guide. (THANK you <3) I'm only back to a 2.4, but I'm kinda worried about the placement and any potential scar tissue? When I was younger I tried for 5mm, but one of my lobes was having none of it, which makes me think a little bundle of NOPE could be preventing me there. My goal size is 1" one day, but the way things are positioned I just feel like even with regular downsizing, my ears and going to look awfully thin. My local piercer said that the lobes should even themselves out over time and be just fine, but I'm starting to doubt their judgement after hearing some of the other stuff they've come out with. (I was told by the same guy that every surface piercing, even with a staple bar, will reject and they're all pretty pointless.)
Magical mods, what are your opinions? These holes won't close up completely as I had them out about a year before. Would it be worth getting them maybe dermal punched into a better placement and to remove any little bits of scarring?
WHAT'S AWFUL: Placement.
First things first: for the scar tissue, try massages. They'll help break it up slowly over time.
I agree that the placement is not ideal, especially if you want to go much larger. I would try to get them to downsize as much as possible (while doing massages), and (provided they don't close on their own) possibly look into scalpelling or having them closed by a professional and pierced again later. They're so off from being centered that I'm not sure what your best bet will be at this point. If you send us your location we can try to help find a body modification artist near you that you can have a consultation in-person with.

Cape Canaveral is a city in Brevard County, Florida. The population was 9,912 at the 2010 United States Census.[1] It is part of the Palm Bay–Melbourne–Titusville Metropolitan Statistical Area.
The city of Cape Canaveral is located at the southern tip of a barrier island on the Atlantic coast of Florida. It is due south of the geographical feature Cape Canaveral (known as Cape Kennedy from 1963 to 1973). It is separated from the mainland by the Banana River, Merritt Island and the Indian River from east to west.[4]
Cape Canaveral is located at 28°23′18″N 80°36′13″W / 28.388382°N 80.603498°W.[5]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 2.3 square miles (6.0 km2). 2.3 square miles (6.0 km2) of it is land and 0.04 square miles (0.10 km2) of it (0.85%) is water.
On August 20, 2008, Tropical Storm Fay dropped 20.03 inches (50.9 cm) of rain.[6]
After the establishment of a lighthouse in 1848,[7] a few families moved into the area and a small, but stable settlement was born. As the threat of Seminole Indian attacks became increasingly unlikely, other settlers began to move into the area around the Indian River. Post offices and small community stores with postal facilities were established at Canaveral, Canaveral Harbor and Artesia. It is thought the Artesia post office was so named for the ground water of artesian springs that are prevalent in the area.
In 1890 a group of Harvard Alumni students established a hunters gun club called the Canaveral Harvard Club with a holding of over 18,000 acres (7,300 ha). Their game hunts helped clear the wilderness for other settlers to move in.[8]
In the early 1920s, a group of Orlando journalists, invested more than $150,000 in the beach acreage that now encompasses the area of presidentially-named streets in Cape Canaveral. They called their development Journalista (now Avon-by-the-Sea) in honor of their trade.[8] A wooden bridge linking Merritt Island with the area had just been constructed.[when?] The developers anticipated a growing number of seasonal visitors.[citation needed]
At that time, fishermen, retirees, and descendants of Captain Mills Burnham —the original official keeper of the Cape Canaveral Light—resided in the northern part of the present city.[citation needed]
Due to the hardships caused by the Great Depression, many investors defaulted on their holdings. Much of this land was recovered by newspaper owner R.B. Brossier and his son, Dickson, after they sold their Orlando home and used the remaining $4,500 to purchase much of the Avon area. It was their dream that a port would be developed and a direct route to Orlando would be constructed.[citation needed]
In the 1930s, archaeologists from Yale University surveyed various Native American sites in the area.[citation needed]
In 1951, anthropologist Irvine Rouse of Yale University visited the area and performed research.[9]
By 1958 the workforce and the economy had grown with the space program. At that time, state statute allowed an adjacent city to annex an unincorporated area without a vote of the residents. Local property owners were concerned that Cocoa Beach might annex them. Landowners felt that Cocoa Beach had more city debt and higher land taxes than they wished to support.[10]
The City of Cape Canaveral started in 1961 when a committee was formed to incorporate.[8] Due to paperwork delays the city charter was made into bill 167 and approved by the Florida State Legislature in Tallahassee on May 16, 1963.[11]
In 1967, the annual Sun and Space Festival was started. It had flyovers and a parade that included a stop at the newly opened Museum of Sunken Treasure.[8] This contained artifacts from the 1715 Treasure Fleet.[12]
An annual celebration was started on October 9, 1990, The Patriot's Day Parade in honor of the last naval battle of the American Revolution that was fought off the Cape Canaveral coast in 1783.[8]
In 2012, the city started celebrating its 50th year since incorporation. At a Heritage Day even in March 2013 part of the festivities included author Jay Barbreewho delivered an oral history of the early days. On the official 50th anniversary date of May 16, 2013 a 50 year time capsule was sealed and a pictorial postmark of the city's anniversary was stamped.

In the city the population was spread out with 11.3% under the age of 18, 6.4% from 18 to 24, 30.4% from 25 to 44, 28.8% from 45 to 64, and 23.1% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 46 years. For every 100 females there were 109.1 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 107.7 males.
The median income for a household in the city was $30,858, and the median income for a family was $43,109. Males had a median income of $33,571 versus $22,423 for females. The per capita income for the city was $23,537. About 9.2% of families and 11.6% of the population were below the poverty line, including 28.7% of those under age 18 and 7.1% of those age 65 or over.
Cape Canaveral has a cross section of both single family and multifamily residences. A number of hotels and time shares in the area. Many residents work in the service industry, space contracting firms and at the Kennedy Space Center to the north.[citation needed]

To the north of Cape Canaveral, SR 528 heads west, connecting the city to Merritt Island, the mainland, and Orlando.
To the south of Cape Canaveral, SR 520 provides a similar westward route, but while 528 is a freeway, 520 has many stoplights and intersections.
A group of east-west roads is named for U.S. presidents in order of their administrations, starting with Washington in the north of town to Harding in the south, and skipping identical last-named presidencies of the second Adams and the second Harrison. For reasons unknown Martin Van Buren was skipped.[20]

Two Ways to Remove People From Your Vacation Photos
No matter where you travel this summer, you're probably going to have some trouble taking photos--not necessarily because of any technical issues with your camera, but because there will be so many people in the way of what you're trying to shoot. I've explained before how to erase tourists from your photos using Corel Paint Shop Pro, but this time around I've got two different techniques to share with you: One you can use in almost any photo editor from Adobe Photoshop Elements to GIMP, and an even easier method that works in Adobe Photoshop only.
The Traditional Method: Cloning
One of the oldest and most beloved photo editing tricks, cloning is a handy way to discreetly remove small objects from a photo. To clone away an unwanted element, you just "paint over" it with some texture from a nearby part of the photo. When done well, it can be almost impossible to tell anything was changed, and it's a great way to eliminate tourists from vacation photos. Take this airshow photo, for example, with a distracting pole in the shot. Rather than cropping it out, I'll clone it away.Read more »

Wine connoisseurs will love this Food Network electric wine opener.
Why We Love It:
- Pulls natural and synthetic corks.
- Convenient one-button operation.

Product Care:
- Wipe clean
What The Pros Know:
- Forget about red with meat, white with fish. Generally, it's good to match food and wine in weight. So a rich steak goes better with a rich wine (like Cabernet or Syrah), and a light pasta goes well with a crisp, light wine (like Sauvignon blanc). The perfect wine to pair with any food is what you feel comfortable drinking it with.

This salad was literally inedible. I followed the recipe exactly, but it was oversalted in the extreme and the bitterness of the lime zest and cumin completely overpowered the thinly shaved vegetables. I ended up washing the salad in a colander under running water to remove as much of the dressing as possible and avoid wasting the veggies, but it was still horrible. Avoid this recipe at all costs!Reply

this salad is delicious - great for summerReply
