"An Island where you can forget about the time" Top 5 Page for this destination Ocracoke Island by Toja
Ocracoke Island Travel Guide: 71 reviews and 109 photos
Ocracoke's first residents were members of the pre-Columbian Wocon tribe. Eventually the "W" was dropped, changed to "Okok", then "Ocrcok" and eventually "Ocracoke".
sites recommended:
The European history of the Island started in 1719. During the 18th c, it was a place where the cattle and sheep was raising, but soon it became the settlement for pilots who transported goods to the ports on the NC mainland. The shallow Pamlico Sound wasn't easy to navigate. In 1759, the island was bought by William Howard for 105 Pounds. Over the next years Ocracoke prospered and grew. Today, the island's population numbers about 750 residents. Some of them are the descendants of the brave people who sreved in the US Life Saving Sevice. Due to its strategic location Ocracoke always had a strategic role during all the wars. Survived not only those events, but also many hurricanes and shipwrecks and many were rescued from those ships. Actually many of the historic houses were built of the lumber from the wrecks.
I found the island very peaceful, and sort of covered with the dust of history. All the houses and streets are charming and welcome tourists to turn into :-)
- Pros:I guess only pros
- In a nutshell:just go and check :-)

It must be a very nice island. I love islands and the name itself sounds interesting. The pictures are lovely.. I like the picture with the birds.
I hope you had a great time on Ocracoke Island, Kasia! I've never been there, but it looks like a nice place to enjoy the beach!
Hi Kasia, Love your pictures and excellent tips. Great lighthouse photo. Every tugboat needs a lighthouse, but the moth doesn't need a flame! Doug
Nice little page!! Awaiting more :)
Looks as if you are truly enjoying the ocean and island life.
Well, well, well... what have we here? ;-) I'm impressed! Great writing and pics! Happy to be the first visitor to these pages! Hope you're having a good day!

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?
Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed.
For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
There is no such thing as white chocolate.
Kind of depends. Some of it's good, some of it's bad. Also depends if it's with/on something.

Bravo! The stuff being sold as "white chocolate" is the candy base to which cocoa is added to make chocolate candy. Calling it "white chocolate" makes as much sense as calling chocolate addicts "chocoholics," since "holic" comes from the word "alcohol." Drives me crazy! P.S.: it's nasty.
Nothing that ends with the word "chocolate" can be bad.
If it doesn't contain cocoa, how can it be chocolate, Mmmmmm?
I find it delicious. But it isn't chocolate. That's like calling a veggie patty a "burger". Come on, your not fooling me no matter how good it may be it will never be a burger.
Delicious, sounds better than saying Chocolate Fat
Kinder Egg? Delicious!
Yes, people, we ALL know that white chocolate isn't chocolate. But who in the world cares? It's called white chocolate because it's similar to regular chocolate. Deal with it.
Unless, of course, it's covering pretzels. Then it's good. ;)
Awesome with Raspberries!

Nope, I'm not gonna "deal with it." Chocolate is the food of the gods, and calling that white crap "chocolate" is blasphemy! So there!
Ditto. Get over yourselves.

Live in Studio 4A: Violinist Vadim Repin
Listen to Repin play Bartok's Romanian Dances
Russian Violinist Vadim Repin charged on to the world stage at 17 when he won the most prestigious violin competition in the world, the Reine Elisabeth Concours. His professional career has followed an equally prestigious path, featuring appearances with major orchestras and conductors and at numerous classical music festivals. Repin is also a stong advocate of new music, and he has nearly a dozen CDs to his credit.
Vadim was accompanied in Studio 4A by Russian pianist Elena Baksht (left). A native of Moscow, Baksht is a graduate of The Moscow Conservatory and the Central Special Music School for Gifted Children.
She first came to public attention at age eleven, when she appeared as soloist with the Moscow Philharmonic at the Central Hall of Art in Moscow. Elena's career as a recitalist, orchestral soloist and chamber musician has taken her to concert halls throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico and Europe as well as in France, Italy, Germany and The Netherlands.

This is related to another application filed by Morganstern et al. concurrently herewith, entitled "Electronic Device with Dual Slide Actuator that Extends and Retracts a Connector."
This application relates generally to hand-held electronic devices, such as flash drives containing non-volatile flash memory, that individually include a mating plug, such as an electrical plug following the Universal Serial Bus (USB) standard, that allows removable connection of the devices with host systems.
A type of non-volatile semiconductor flash memory, commonly called a flash drive, is a small hand-held portable device that contains a USB plug as an integral part of it. The USB plug is inserted during use into a USB receptacle of a host system such as a personal computer (PC), notebook computer, portable digital assistant (PDA) and the like. The memory system within the flash drive is electrically connected to the host system through the USB connector plug for transferring data therebetween. The memory system also receives operating power through the USB connector plug. The USB connector plug conforms to the Universal Serial Bus Specification, chapter 6 of Revision 2.0 including mechanical specifications for the connectors. A line of USB flash drives is sold by SanDisk Corporation, assignee of the present application, under its Cruzer trademark.
One class of flash drives includes caps for the user to place on the USB connector plug when the device is not being used, in order to exclude dust and other particulate material from entering openings of the plug. Such caps are most commonly simple plastic coverings that are easily slipped on and off the plug by hand. Some removable caps, however, are provided with a more positive attachment mechanism that removably latches them to the plug. Such caps are commonly lost by users of flash drives when removed from the USB plug.
Another class of flash drives includes a mechanism that allows the user to withdraw the USB plug into the body of the flash drive when not in use. The plug assembly, including a flash memory module, are made to be slidable along the length of the flash drive body between extreme positions, one position being where the USB plug extends out of an end of the body a sufficient distance to be inserted into a mating receptacle of a host system, and the other extreme position being where the plug is withdrawn entirely into the body. SanDisk flash drives sold under the Cruzer Titanium and Cruzer Micro trademarks include such a sliding mechanism. A knob attached to the sliding mechanism extends out through an elongated opening on the top of the flash drive body so that it may be easily manipulated by hand to extend and withdraw the plug through another opening at an end of the body. The mechanism is positively held with respect to the body when in the fully extended and fully withdrawn positions by a resiliently engaged detent that is released by the user pushing the knob into the body at the same time as the knob is urged to extend or withdraw the mechanism from the end opening of the body.
In order to protect the device from dust and other contaminants when the connector is withdrawn into the device, a cover or door is provided over an opening through which the connector is withdrawn. A door mechanism causes the door to be moved out of the way as the connector is extended from the device, such as by rotation about a pivot, and is then moved back into position over the opening in response to the connector being withdrawn back into the device, such as by a resilient force acting to rotate the door back into a closed position. The door is also withdrawn into the device in response to the connector being extended out of the device, so that the door does not interfere with the operation of the connector.
In accordance with the USB connector specifications, for example, a plug is required to be a certain length for insertion into a mating receptacle. If the door is merely swung out of the way as the connector plug is extended out of the device, it will lie along a portion of the length of the extended plug adjacent the device. This portion of the plug is therefore typically not useable for insertion into a mating receptacle. Therefore, in such a case, the plug is made to be longer than required by the USB specifications. By withdrawing the cover into the device as described herein, on the other hand, the connector need not be made longer than required by the specifications in order to accommodate the protective door.
Additional aspects, advantages and features of the present invention are included in the following description of an exemplary example thereof, which description should be taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
All patents, patent applications, articles, books, specifications, other publications, documents and things referenced herein are hereby incorporated herein by this reference in their entirety for all purposes. To the extent of any inconsistency or conflict in the definition or use of a term between any of the incorporated publications, documents or things and the text of the present document, the definition or use of the term in the present document shall prevail.
Referring initially to
The device illustrated in
A third major part of the device is a connector assembly including the connector 11 and, preferably, a printed circuit board (PCB) on which one or more integrated circuits and other electronic components are mounted (not shown in
One stable position of the device is illustrated in
When it is desired to withdraw the connector 11 back into the housing 17, the housing is pushed forward from the position of
The door 13 is optional but preferably provided as part of the device in order to restrict movement of dust and other debris into the device when its parts are in the position shown in
But rather than attaching the door 13 to the housing 17 at an edge of its end opening 21, it is preferably carried by a separate element that is moveable along the length of the housing 17 to retract the door 13 into the housing 17 when the connector 11 is extended to the position shown by
Structural details of the mechanisms that function as described above are shown in the remaining figures. Initially, the main parts of the device illustrated in
Referring again to
The controllable latching of the connector assembly 23 to the shell 15 described above is provided, in this example, by a U-shaped spring element 31 having a portion 33 attached to an inside surface of the outer shell 15 (see
This positive latch occurs when the parts are moved into the positions of either of
The connector assembly is moved by application of hand motion to the housing 17, as described above. A controllable connection between the housing 17 and the connector assembly 23 is therefore desired for this purpose. This is provided, in this example, by protrusions 47 and 49 on ends of short plastic arms that are part of the connector assembly 23, and mating detents on inside surfaces of respective walls 51 and 53 of the housing portion 17 b. Detents 55 and 57 are formed on the wall 51, as shown in
As shown best by the cross-sectional views of
A preferred structure for the door 13 and its supporting spring 27 is shown in
The spring 27 is shaped to work with the housing portion 17 b (see
A bump 89 formed on the inside of the outer shell 15 (
Although the spring 27 moves a distance with the housing 17 as the housing is moved from the position of

De Blasio Says Carriage Horses and Police Horses Are Totally Different
"It's apples and oranges."
Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Monday that while he intends to ban horse-drawn carriages from Central Park, he has no problem with horses in the NYPD's mounted unit roaming all over the city. "It's apples and oranges ... I have immense respect for what (the NYPD does) to keep us safe, and the police horses have been a part of that," the mayor told a Daily News reporter. "(The mounted unit) is something that's about the public's vital interests. So I think it's a very different reality than something that's about tourism." Humiliating tourists is one thing, but he's not going to force the NYPD to ride around in old-timey electric cars.

Deaths due to coronary accidents during or following electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) have been repeatedly reported. The connection between ECT and these deaths could only be presumptive. Our patient suffered a myocardial infarction during his first ECT and a fatal acute coronary insufficiency during his second ECT, given three months later. These two incidents together strongly suggest that ECT may trigger coronary death in persons with significant coronary heart disease.

From Nacogdoches, take Hwy 225 west towards Lake Nacogdoches. As you go under Loop 224, take note of the odometer reading, if you want. It is approximately 8 miles from the loop to the turn off the highway.
Keep an eye out for the signs about Lake Nacogdoches. The first sign says Lake Nacogdoches EAST Park, but you should keep going a little bit further down the road. Turn in at the Scenic Overlook. The sign for this is angled for drivers coming towards Nacogdoches, so it is easy to miss if you are coming from Nac. Another landmark is the Yakofritz Landing store -- the Scenic Overlook is about one mile after that store. Turn right at the Scenic Overlook sign and park there.
Cross the bridge into the woods, then follow the trail to the right, about 15 steps from the bridge, to a big pine tree on the left side of the trail. Then go 10 more steps down the trail. Look into the woods on your left and youll see another medium-large tree a little ways into the woods. The box is at the base of that tree.
You can take the box back to the scenic overlook for stamping in. There is a bench and a trash can there, so you can throw away any trash you may have picked up along the trail.
And then, replace box carefully and have fun with the rest of your day! : ) I am not able to check on this box very often, so please take an extra moment to rehide carefully. Thank you.
The "Peace Now" letterbox is also located on this trail.
When you return to your car, if you go further down the road another mile or so, you'll get to the sign for Lake Nacogdoches WEST park. That area has many nice picnic tables, some pretty good playground equipment, and bathrooms that are usually in pretty good shape. Overall, a great place to have a picnic before or after hunting for the box. If you continue on the road down the hill, you will arrive at the parking area for the swimming area of the lake and a pier for fishing and a boat ramp, too. So those might be other activities to include in your day. Swimming area is roped off, but there are no lifeguards swim at your own risk.
Thanks for looking!

All Rise...
Judge Patrick Naugle is more of a running man.
Editor's Note
Our reviews of Rollerball (2002) (published May 31st, 2002) and Rollerball (1975) (Blu-ray) Encore Edition (published July 12th, 2016) are also available.
The Charge
In the not too distant future, wars will no longer exist…but there will be Rollerball.
The Case
Welcome to a future where all the wars have been won and peace has been achieved. In the absence of global conflict, the world has turned to the brutal game of Rollerball to quell their lust for violence. Rollerball's most popular star is Jonathan E (James Caan, Misery), an electric personality and the unofficial face of the sport. Jonathan plays for Houston's team (yes, Texas is still around), owned by the shady Energy Corporation headed by Mr. Bartholomew (John Houseman, Scrooged). Mr. Bartholomew has some sinister plans for the game—and Jonathan—which starts to gnaw at the superstar's conscience. When Jonathan is slowly pushed to the sidelines and told he's retiring, rage bubbles over into a climax of bone crushing intensity.
I have a sneaking suspicion those with an affinity for this 1975 sci-fi action flick see the film through nostalgic rose-tinted glasses. Without them, it's hard to see how a movie of this caliber has come to amass any kind of following. Rollerball is ugly, drab, tedious, and filled with mostly unlikable characters. The scenes which show the game are well executed, but in 2014 Rollerball doesn't feel futuristic. Rather it's a mashed up version of Whirlyball, Roller Derby, and The X-Games. Unless you consider roller-skates futuristic, most viewers will be scratching their heads as what's so advanced about this sport. Rollerball takes place in a dystopian future, but the bleak outlook sure looks a lot like the swinging '70s. In fact, everything about the film drips with disco fever, from the character's hairstyles and weird production design to its Formica sets and chintzy furniture. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Shields and Yarnell were the set decorators.
The cardinal sin of Rollerball is that it's just plain boring! Clocking in at over two hours, director Norman Jewison (Moonstruck) must've had a hard time making sure the movie didn't stray into long, snooze worthy stretches of exposition. Between bone-crunching action sequences, characters wander in and out of each other's lives discussing politics and possible dissension. The film doesn't offer much subtlety, such as when Caan and Houseman get into an argument intercut with a group of privileged Rollerball fans shooting futuristic guns at trees (the physical explosions are supposedly the verbal explosions of Caan and Houseman's characters). This ham-fisted drama doesn't mesh well with its action on the court.
James Caan is woefully miscast in the role of Jonathan E, underplaying the character and making Jonathan too laid back for a man who spends his life knocking heads in a ring. The character demands someone with a more dynamic personality. This would have been a far better role for Arnold Schwarzenegger than it was for James Caan. John Houseman also appears miscast. Bartholomew is supposed to be villainous, but the genteel actor just comes off like a kindly old grandfather. There are other actors to be found here—including Maud Adams (Octopussy) as Jonathan's love interest, and Moses Gunn (Shaft) as the token black character—none of whom generate much of an impact.
I know there are those who love Rollerball with the intensity of a thousand suns, but I'm perplexed by its popularity. With so many science fiction movies out there, how did this one become so popular? The film is so beloved that director John McTiernan (Die Hard) attempted to reboot it with a failed 2002 remake. I saw that film and prefer it to this one, which is saying something considering how bad the remake is.
Rollerball (1975) (Blu-ray) is presented in 1.85:1/1080p HD widescreen and looks very good for its age. The colors are crisp and bright, the black levels exceptionally solid; there is some grain and minor defects in the print, but it's nothing that will detract from the viewing. The DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio track is not a surround sound heavy mix, though there are some moments where directional effects kick in. The biggest boost comes from Andre Previn's score (with classical undertones), which comes in loud and clear.
Bonus features include a commentary from director Norman Jewison, a second commentary from writer William Harrison, a couple of vintage featurettes on the making of the film ("From Rome to Rollerball: The Full Circle," "Return to the Arena: The Making of Rollerball"), some TV spots, a theatrical trailer, a trailer for MGM's 90th anniversary, and an isolated score track.
Rollerball is a long and laborious film with a few interesting scenes spread out between moments of absolute boredom. Science Fiction should fill us with wonder and awe, not make us wonder when the thing will finally end. Twilight Time's release is a good one, so if you need this in your library, pick it up before all 3,000 copies disappear.
The Verdict
Tries and tries but can't score any points.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Rollerball (1975) (Blu-ray) a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

I would like to set up my laptop to dual boot Arch Linux and Windows 7 with file sharing and encryption. Just wanted some advice on going about this because I have not dealt with encryption nor file sharing. I have two 500GB hard drives, and this is my plan:
- Install Windows 7 across both hard drives
- Use a live CD to wipe out Windows boot loader and replace with Grub Legacy
- Use live CD to wipe out second hard drive and re-size the Windows partition located on first hard drive
- Install Arch Linux along side with Windows 7 on first hard drive, all remaining space goes to home folder as ext2
- Install truecrypt and ext2fsd
- Is this the most efficient way to share files between both OSes? Or should I just be using NTFS to store all my data?
- How would the file permissions work when sharing files between Windows and Linux?
- Is there a high likley hood of corruption, and what is the ease of backing up files from an encrypted disk?
- Anything I should look out for, conflict between Grub and Truecrypt?
Thank you for any advice, and feel free to post any links you might find useful to me. I am trying to plan this out so I can minimize downtime as I do not want to spend more than a night on this, nor do I want to run into a major problem some time in the future.

The Dimmitt Bobcats haven't missed the playoffs since 1976. With three teams earning playoff berths this season, the Bobcats are alive with two games remaining. They are 5-5 and will meet Highland Park at home tonight and Tulia on the road Tuesday. There are a handful of possibilities where playoff berths are concerned. Dimmitt, Muleshoe, Bushland and Tulia are battling for two spots behind district winner Friona.
Dimmitt head coach Alan Steinle talks about his team's season:
How would you describe the 2-2A boys race with two games remaining?
''It's a good mess. It's good that a handful of teams are still alive and trying to figure out what will happen. Thank goodness we're still in it.''
What are your chances of making the playoffs?
''The way I see it we have to take it one game at a time. If we can win the next two we can at least be in a tie. All we can do is take care of our business. Our chances are favorable.''
What has caused your team to be in its current position?
''The bad part is we didn't play with any sense of urgency early on. Some teams just outplayed us in games that we had a chance to win. The positive thing is we were 2-4 after six district games and have battled back to give ourselves a chance to make the playoffs.''
What happened during that poor start in district play?
''I've done a lousy job with this team to be honest. I've been a slow learner. You would think someone that has been doing this as long as I have would do better. A lot of it was playing kids in various combinatons that hurt us early.''
Is there a lot of pressure to keep the playoff streak going?
''I hope the pressure our kids feel is for their season. They want to do well because it's their year. Any pressure they feel is for their year as a senior or underclassmen. As for the adults there is some self-imposed pressure and it's healthy. It depends on how you look at it.''
How would you characterize this season's team?
''We've been like a mystery novel. There are a lot of things we've had to work our way through. The ending is still to be decided. It's been good. A pleasant story.''

Example- Take What I Want Lyrics
Example- Take What I Want Lyrics
[Verse 1:]
Call me the extrovert pervert dishing the dirt
Always alert for a skinny flirt spinning in her miniskirt –
Dirtily, yes I take what I want bruv certainly
But it's hurtin me
That I might roam home alone when it stones me
I still gotta bury my bone in a poor mans clone of
Let's say Rachel Stevens
Even still that's a huge achievement
You're all in agreement but not your mum
Cause her opinion's stickin' out like sore thumbs
Never outdone she moans as I lower my tone
To the well known zone of misogyny
I have an itch like I wanna grab a bitch
So I take what I want like I'm Roman Abramovich
Any which way but loose in truth
There's never an excuse when you're pullin a moose
I'll take (take) what (what) I want (whatever I want)
I'm a bad go getter yeah
I'll take your pride maybe even your virginity
It's your own fault ñ love you shouldn't grin at me
[Verse 2:]
She sittin in the shop window grinning back at me
Her mouth don't move so she only shows apathy
Plus, she don't have a bloke who'll wanna batter me
She only needs air, the last one required batteries
Make the purchase, hide her in my jacket,
We'll be at it like a couple of rabbits once the packets gone
Now it's on, the best thing she don't make a racket
So we can do it even when my Nan's next door
Second best ain't the route to pleasure
Don't accept it if she gets clever
Loses air cause she can't take pressure
Pop her with a needle if she don't measure
I never stress like Mayday, mayday
Buy the other brand when it's Friday payday
Yes mate get me a playmate
Much in the same way as George Best back in his hey day
I'll take (take) what (what) I want (whatever I want)
I'm a bad go getter yeah
I'll take your pride maybe even your virginity
It's your own fault ñ love you shouldn't grin at me
Ok I like real women but they never wanna give it up
Even when they finally do by then I've given up
Wait so long that I don't really give a fuck
A little tip son you might wanna pick it up
See the honey in the street son pick her up
Take her home as the night starts pickin up
Won't need a rubber when your little man's up
Cause she won't have a virus you don't want pickin up
[Verse 3:]
This ain't cheap sex it's something fresher
One off payment for Luscious Luretta
Fellas let's get your shit together
Blow up ladies are getting better
She never tells you it's too late,
Says shes got a headache, starts yawning
Conversations never get boring, she can't speak
Easy to store and dirt cheap
Try telling me that ain't deep
I'll take (take) what (what) I want (whatever I want)
I'm a bad go getter yeah
I'll take your digits maybe even your virginity
It's your own fault ñ love you shouldn't grin at me

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
Origins Available: English, German
Winters is a name whose history is entwined with the ancient Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. It was a name for a person born in the wintertime having derived from the Old English word wintar, meaning wet season.
The surname Winters was first found in Gloucestershire where they held a family seat from ancient times, before and after the Norman Conquest in 1066.
Before the last few hundred years, the English language had no fast system of spelling rules. For that reason, spelling variations are commonly found in early Anglo-Saxon surnames. Over the years, many variations of the name Winters were recorded, including Winter, Winters, Wynter and others.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Winters research. Another 249 words (18 lines of text) covering the years 1162, 1622, 1686, 1661, 1665, 1665 and 1668 are included under the topic Early Winters History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Another 21 words (2 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Winters Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Some of the Winters family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. Another 87 words (6 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
To escape oppression and starvation at that time, many English families left for the "open frontiers" of the New World with all its perceived opportunities. In droves people migrated to the many British colonies, those in North America in particular, paying high rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Although many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, those who did see the shores of North America perceived great opportunities before them. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Research into various historical records revealed some of first members of the Winters family emigrate to North America:
Winters Settlers in United States in the 18th Century
Winters Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Winters Settlers in Canada in the 19th Century
Winters Settlers in Australia in the 19th Century
Winters Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century

The Winters Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Winters Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

My DF and I have been together for 5 years. When we came into the relationship I had my son Caden who is now 7 and he had his son Isaiah who is now 6, then we had our 4 year old, Jacob, and our 6 month old, Ty. Because Isaiah's mom kept wanting to move we had Isaiah on and off throughout the first year and a half we were together. We had to pick him up one day after receiving a phone call from her boyfriend that she had freaked out and tried taking him driving at 4 in the morning drunk. He kept Isaiah till we could pick him up as it was Decemeber and they lived an hour and a half away and we didn't want to drive with him at that time. At this time, we decided to keep him and she saw him every other weekend. It worked okay for a while except if we didn't take him back when she wanted us to she would tell us we wouldn't get him back so we finally went after her for full custody which we got in June 2010 when she signed the papers.
Everything was going okay until November 2011. We no longer could get along during pick ups so we did exchanges through a place called Kids Konnection, a third party. She was running late this day and I dropped Isaiah off at 4 and waited till she got there and then went home. At 7, I received a phone call that she had gotten a DUI, driving without a license, and into an accident with Isaiah, and his three brothers in the car. She had driven an hour with her boyfriends four kids also in the vehicle, but had just dropped them off and his a parked vehicle leaving their mother's apartment. So she had 8 kids in her vehicle originally and blew a 0.28 when the cops had caught her so she had to have been drinking with the other four children in the vehicle. Luckily, the kids mom is a friend of ours and kept the four kids until we could pick up Isaiah and their grandma could pick up the other three so they didn't have to go to social services. Isaiah had to watch his mom be arrested and put in the back of a police car at the age of 4 and he was very upset about it.
Well after that we decided to go after her for supervised visitation which we got where she had to complete three months and she would have gotten her regular supervision back and she had to complete a psychological evalutation. Well we went back to court and she didn't complete the psychological evaluation and had seen Isaiah since January 28th, and court was February 22nd. We got another court date in April where she still hadn't seen Isaiah since January 28th, but had complete the evaluation. The judge gave her an order of supervised visitation for 30 days and when she completed that she could do 30 days supervised at her mother's, and then one night overnights for 30 days and upon that successful completion she could have her regular visitation back. Well she started messing up right away and then she didn't see him for a month because her son had lead posioning and was hospitalized so we left her start over. Well then she didn't see him for 5 months and she went into rehab. When she got passes we let her start seeing him but he had this habit of peeing and pooping in his underwear at 5 years old and we got it to stop but it starts again when she decides to come back in his life.
Well we ended up telling her it was probably best not to see him for a while and we took him to a psychologist. Our lawyer told us what we did was fine because she didn't complete the court order and would have to take us back to court. We took him to the psychologist who suggested that we let her start talking to him on the phone again but not letting him start seeing her right away and ease into it. Well we suggested this and she yelled at us for not going to mediation. She said that we knew about a mediation that she set up with our lawyer, which we didn't know about, she is self-represented and if she set a mediation up with our lawyer its something that would be at our expense. We paid good money to have the supervised visitation and all she had to do was complete not only one court order but two and she failed on both. She is bipolar and I am getting tired of her freak outs. We let her talk to him and missed one call and told her she could call the next day we had just gotten that busy and that wasn't good enough and she told us we were doing mediation and that she was setting it up through our lawyer and she was paying for it, which I am pretty sure she can't do.
We finally got a hold of our lawyer and talked a little bit about it but my fiance is terrible with getting to know all the right answers. From what she told us is that she discussed dates with Isaiah's mother if we wanted to do a mediation and his mom got it in her head we were doign it this day and just showed up. Also, that it would have costed us money. Then she is saying when she goes to court she can say she made all the attempts possible, no actually if you did you would have him unsupervised. She has also gone to jail a couple times since all this and one time was for drinking. She is on probation and isn't suppose to be doing it. She hasn't paid any child support since it was requested November 2011. She keeps talking to our lawyer and I don't know what to believe because she is saying our lawyer is telling her we are wrong in what we are doing when the lawyer told us she had to take us back to court if that is how we wanted it. His mom's problem is she can't just take us to court representing herself she has to get a lawyer and she thinks we should just pay for it all so she can see him when we would prefer her to just stay away because he needs a stable life and she doesn't care. What are your thoughts? Anyone know anything about the legal system?

Alabama added the 20th commitment of its 2015 class when Tallahassee, Fla., safety Ronnie Harrison gave his verbal commitment on Tuesday afternoon.
The 6-foot-3, 205-pound Harrison was offered by Alabama earlier this summer and made two trips to Tuscaloosa over the past two months. He chose the Crimson Tide over LSU and North Carolina, the school he had been committed to since before his junior season.

On Evaluating and Publishing Data Concerns for Data as a Service
The proliferation of Data as a Service (DaaS) available on the Internet and offered by cloud service providers indicates an increasing trend in providing data under Web services in e-science and business domains. While data usage and selection are dependent on different constraints established on the basis of several data concerns, for example, quality of data and data privacy, existing data service engineering approaches lack techniques to allow the evaluation, association and publishing of such concerns with data provided via DaaS. Furthermore, data sources behind DaaSs are not static but dynamically changing, thus requiring the evaluation and publishing of data concerns to be dynamic and on-the-fly as well.

Hi, I'm Beth. I'm a middle school English teacher, and I love my job. My students crack me up and inspire me every day. I can't imagine doing anything else. I have two little boys who are with me most of the time. They are awesome little guys, and I'm fortunate to have supportive family nearby who help when I want to go out. I like doing so many different things - traveling, dancing, reading at the beach, mini golf, whatever. I tend to be busy, but like to take some down time, too. A night at home snuggled up with a movie is always nice. The qualities I value most for myself an in others are kindness, intelligence, a sense of humor, and loyalty. I'm a nurturer and do whatever I can to help the people in my life. My life is full of wonderful, happy things. I'd love to have the right person to share it with!

I like a huge variety of music; romantic comedies; Dancing with the Stars, How I Met Your Mother, Modern Family. I love almost all food - unless it has peppers!
I like going to the beach, dancing, watching movies, playing mini golf, reading, playing board games and going for walks.
I just read the first two books in the Divergent series. I need the third! (P.S. This section will only be up-to-date for about a day. My "last read" is always changing.)

Duude, this has so much potential! Why don't you extend this stuff right now?
The kick was mastered extremely well and feels really punchy, perfect for a proghouse song. Claps are good as well, although they could use some more treble. The hoover synth and the bassline are also kicking ass.
The vocal you occasionally use should be toned down a bit, it's too loud according to me.
The rest is uber-awesome, this would make a great song if you'd finish it.
Blijf zo doorgaan! ;)
eey bedankt man!! ik zal kijken of ik jou kritiek punten kan fixen ;)

I am using a fresh install of 3.1.4, Buddypress 1.2.8 and Activity Plus.
When uploading a Video URL or Link URL, after entering the link, if I press enter it returns the error "Please enter some content to post". (the only way to make the link work is to "click" the mouse outside the link box).
Clearly, hitting the return key is trying to post an update message, rather than the link, which is resulting in this error.
Please can you tell me how to fix this?
Also, the words "Paste link here" do not disappear when the box is clicked in - is there a way to make this happen?
Unfortunately, I cannot use later versions of WordPress or Buddypress as other plugins won't work with another combination.

Ingredients Nutrition
- 12 ounces yogurt, any flavor
- 1⁄2 cup granola cereal
- 1⁄2 cup sliced banana
- 1⁄2 cup sliced strawberry
- In glass mugs, layer yogurt, granola, and fruit, ending with yogurt.
- Top with a fresh strawberry.

Made your recipe with a fat-free vanilla yogurt, a homemade granola (nutty & fruity), the banana & strawberries! Great tasting & a nice presentation as a parfait! Will do it again, for sure! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Healthy Choices ABC recipe tag]
Very good. I scaled it down to make a single serving and used vanilla yogurt. For the granola, I used Yummy, Healthy Granola (#311501). This is a quick, easy, and delicious option and I definitely plan on working it into my breakfast rotation in the future. Thank you!

School of Social Work offers a Weekend Program that can be completed in 3 years, part time.
It's a weekend program, so you lose every other Sat & Sun each semester-- fall, spring, and summer. Tough to find a paid internship as an MSW candidate.
When I was exploring my options of graduate schools in the area, I visited the Graduate Office. I was impressed that the Vice President took the time to chat with me about the programs. Since I...
I can not compare with other Eastern colleges. However, I can compare with my experience with San Jose State University. The academic staff of Springfield College do care for their students if...
The atmosphere is the best thing about this school. The campus is like a family together. The student life is great and everyone is very friendly! Also, the major I had was the best in the country...

I would like to have three columns on my (bespoke) home page, two listing the latest posts based on categories and one showing the latest comments. The blog itself is on a separate page. I can find plenty of plugins that either lists posts based on categories or list comments, but none that do both.
Obviously I would like to have a consistent look between the two types of lists, but haven't found two plugins that are consistent.
Any suggestions?
